Inaugural Annual Corporate Responsibility Report published on Excellon's website
"We saw strong improvements in all areas of operational and financial performance during the second quarter," stated Brendan Cahill, President and CEO. "Most importantly, we realized AISC per silver ounce payable of less than $10, greatly improved cash flow and added cash to our balance sheet while internally funding exploration programs on both of our projects. During the second half of the year, we're looking forward to increasing exploration, increasing cash flow through our milling arrangement with Hecla and continuing to implement operational improvements at Platosa."
Financial results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 were as follows:
('000s of USD, except amounts per share
and per ounce)

Revenues are net of treatment and refining charges.
Cash flow from (used in) operations before changes in working capital.
Production cost per tonne includes mining and milling costs excluding depletion and amortization.
Financial performance improved during Q2 2018 with a 177% increase in net revenues to $9.9 million (Q2 2017 – $3.6 million), primarily due to a 128% increase in AgEq payable ounces to 568,370 (Q2 2017 – 249,733 AgEq oz), and net income of $1.3 million (Q2 2017 – net loss of $0.5 million). Cash increased by $4.8 million during the quarter to $15.7 million, reflecting $2.3 million of cash flow from operations (after exploration and general and administrative expenses), $2.7 million from changes in working capital relating to collection of receivables and VAT credits, $1.7 million from the exercise of outstanding $0.65 warrants, capital expenditures of $1.1 million and negative forex adjustments of $0.8 million on non-USD denominated accounts.
Production cost per tonne improved by 21% to $226/t in Q2 2018, primarily due to a 65% increase in tonnes milled. Production costs are expected to continue to improve as production rates increase. Treatment and refining charges decreased to $0.2 million due to improved 2018 offtake terms that became effective in Q2 2018 and accounted for only 2% of gross revenues, compared to 7% in the comparative quarter.
General and administrative expenses increased by 76% during Q2 2018 compared to Q2 2017, primarily due to an increase to $0.6 million in stock based compensation expense (Q2 2017 – $0.1 million). The increased stock compensation was due primarily to increased probability that certain performance vesting conditions will be achieved for certain RSUs outstanding, resulting in an expense recognition of $0.4 million. Cash general and administrative expenses totaled $839,000 during the quarter versus $667,000 in Q2 2017 due to increases in certain corporate governance and regulatory fees.
The Company incurred $1.1 million in exploration spending in Q2 2018 as surface drilling increased at Platosa and commenced at Miguel Auza. Underground drilling also continued at Platosa adding to a total of 8,423 metres drilled in the quarter.
The Company realized total cash costs per silver ounce payable of negative $1.07 in Q2 2018, demonstrating significant improvements over Q2 2017, resulting from a 79% increase in silver ounces payable and a $4.0 million increase in byproduct credits from higher lead and zinc production and prices. AISC also showed significant improvements relative to previous quarters, decreasing to $9.75 per payable silver ounce or $7.14 excluding non-cash items.
Excellon defines AISC per silver ounce payable as the sum of total cash costs (including treatment charges and net of by-product credits), capital expenditures that are sustaining in nature, corporate general and administrative costs (including non-cash share-based compensation), capitalized and expensed exploration that is sustaining in nature, and (non-cash) environmental reclamation costs, all divided by the total payable silver ounces sold during the period to arrive at a per ounce figure.
All financial information is prepared in accordance with IFRS, and all dollar amounts are expressed in U.S. dollars unless otherwise specified. The information in this press release should be read in conjunction with the Company's unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and associated management discussion and analysis ("MD&A") which are available from the Company's website at www.excellonresources.com and under the Company's profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
The discussion of financial results in this press release includes references to "cash flows from operations before changes in working capital items", "production cost per tonne", "cash cost per silver ounce payable", and "AISC per silver ounce payable", which are non-IFRS performance measures. The Company presents these measures to provide additional information regarding the Company's financial results and performance. Please refer to the Company's MD&A for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2018, for a reconciliation of these measures to reported IFRS results.

Payable metal reflects current metals delivered, net of payable deductions under the Company's offtake arrangements.
Average realized price is calculated on current period sale deliveries and does not include the impact of prior period provisional adjustments in the period.
During Q2 2018, the Company accessed multiple high grade ore faces with a continued effort on improving productivity underground. In June, two bolting units were commissioned to facilitate ground support installation as ground conditions have been and remain, at this point, a primary area of focus to support production increases. In addition, ongoing dewatering efforts continue to be an integral part of the mining process at Platosa and are essential to ensure dry and efficient mining conditions.
The Company continued to process historical stockpiles and sump material during the quarter, with minimal associated mining costs. These stockpiles are blended with mined ore to improve recoveries (in the case of high-grade lead and/or zinc ore) and payability, as well as being positive cash flow generative. The cost of processing these stockpiles is less than $50/tonne, with an NSR value of approximately $135/tonne assuming 350 g/t AgEq and a silver price of $16.50.
The Company has entered a milling arrangement with Hecla to process ore from the San Sebastian Mine, 42 kilometres northwest of the Miguel Auza mill. The Company recently amended the agreement to expand the initial bulk tonnage sample from 4,000 to 12,000 tonnes, with initial shipments of San Sebastian ore expected to arrive at Miguel Auza in late Q3 or early Q4 2018 based on ongoing ramp-up of the San Sebastian underground operation. Assuming successful results from the bulk sample, the formal commercial milling arrangement will commence in due course (expected Q1 2019). Preparations for the expansion of milling operations at Miguel Auza are well underway.

Gratitude is a personal quality. It's also a condition of the heart. While many may desire to have a thankful heart, it can be difficult to walk and live this way for more than a few days. This is why it's important to learn how to cultivate a spirit of gratitude in your life.
The Bible presents gratitude as a gateway to blessing, a way to keep oneself in line with God through humility, and a posture to walk in daily as a daughter of the King of kings.
It helps us to focus on the things of God and to take our focus outside of ourselves. This thankfulness transforms our thinking, surroundings, and lives.
Gratitude can make you more resilient, more optimistic, and kinder. It helps you achieve your goals, makes you healthier, and helps you sleep better.
In the midst of suffering or hardship, gratitude changes your perspective and helps you to make it through.
Thankfulness in all things causes your heart to be strengthened and encouraged. Still we must be honest, you don't just wake up thankful. You have to take steps to have a spirit of gratitude in your life.
Everyday you have an opportunity to establish an environment around you that affects your inward disposition. As you advance throughout your day, your inward perspective will affect your outward experience. This is why it's important to cultivate your space. You get to determine what your life will be like by the choices you make.
On a regular basis, you should be logging what you are thankful for. Take a few minutes everyday to list at least 3 things. This journal is a place to house your thoughts and feelings, but it can also serve as a log to reflect on later. There may be times when you need to remind yourself of your previous blessings, and this will help you in those moments.
This seems minute, but trust me, it's not.
You may not realize it, but we often forget to say thank you for the little things, and this hurts us. It causes our hearts to develop a sense of entitlement in a bad way.
When you say thank you continually, you begin to realize how much is given to you from outside of yourself. You'll also begin to realize how much people care for you and what God has blessed you with.
Start this practice by saying thank you to God for waking you up in the morning. Before your feet hit the ground, you grab your phone, or even hug your husband, say thank you to our Heavenly Father for his gift of life-giving breath and another day.
When you go to God in prayer, remember to thank Him for all He has done. This will immediately change the disposition of your heart and allow you to be more open to hearing His voice. Take sometime to be in that space of gratitude toward the Lord for a moment. This pleases Him greatly and benefits you as well. Don't you love being in conversations with people who show appreciation for you? God looks forward to talking with us all of the time, but can you imagine how it makes His heart smile to hear you say thank you for what He has already done for you?
This is a hard one that we all struggle with, but it's something that we must each practice. Complaining generates a disgust within us that makes us angry and bitter. It makes it hard for us to see anything good because we are focused on the negative and ourselves.
When we complain, we are not simply speaking on our dissatisfaction, but turning our hearts toward unthankfulness. You're not thankful for what you're complaining about. Staying in this place effects you, your environment, your relationships, and your health.
You have to be able to speak on what's wrong, what could be better, and what bothers you. Once it is stated, move out of that space and check your heart. Figure out a way to give thanks to God in the middle of your situation.
There are other ways to cultivate a spirit of gratitude, but I don't want to overwhelm you. It can be hard to do these things in this day and age. Our society and culture do not encourage gratitude, so starting small is important.
Make a commitment today that you will live and walk in the spirit of gratitude.
When will you start your gratitude journal?
How can you work on not complaining?
If you need help with these things, send me an email, post a comment, and/or purchase my 5 day Gratitude Devotional and Journal.
Make time to position your heart and direct your thoughts, so that your spirit can flourish in a healthy environment.

WYPA (89.5 FM) is a non–commercial Christian Worship formatted radio station licensed to serve Cherry Hill, New Jersey. The station is owned by Educational Media Foundation and is a member of the nationally syndicated Air1 radio network.

WYPA uses HD Radio, and simulcasts the classical programming of WWFM on its HD2 subchannel.

History
The station signed on for the first time in 1986 as WEEE, "The Cherry Hill Station" which featured an Easy Listening format and broadcast Cherry Hill related announcements, town meetings and local sports. In 1995, the station changed its call sign to WSJI and featured Contemporary Christian music and preaching.

Formerly owned by Thomas Moffit Sr.'s Broadcast Learning Center, the station was sold to California–based EMF Broadcasting's "K-Love" radio network for $2.5M US; $600,000 cash at closing (including $122,500 escrow deposit) plus $1.85 million promissory note. The sale was brokered by John Pierce and Co. LLC and represented the Educational Media Foundation's entry into the Greater Philadelphia Metropolitan radio market. The sale, which began in August 2006, was finalized on 10 January 2007 and the station switched to K–Love's Network feed at 17:00 (EST) the same day. The station's new call sign was WKVP, ostensibly "(K)lo(V)e (P)hiladelphia".

On November 5, 2013, the station changed its call sign to WYPA. The WKVP call sign moved to EMF's Camden, New Jersey station, the former WWIQ (and for 43 years, Family Radio's WKDN).

Re: Tired of Re-sizing pictures?
So do pictures have to be hosted in order to share here, or can I put one straight off of the iPad?
If straight from the iPad does not work, is there a preferred hosting site? Best size to use?
I've used Imageshack and Photobucket in the past.
I try to avoid uploading photos here, both because of the size limitations, and to reduce the hosting costs of BS.
My method is very simple, and doesn't require much effort, or any additional apps or hosting sites. For reference I have an iPhone. First you go to Photos --> choose the photo you want to upload --> pinch to zoom out (do this slowly and hold at the desired size) --> whlie holding, screen capture the transitioning screen (home button+power) --> crop the photo down to size. This will typically get your photo within the constraints of the upload size limits! If necessary just make the image a little smaller while dragging out, or crop more of the picture. I hope this explanation was clear enough, maybe some of you will find this process useful in the future.

Yes, Minister: Arun Jaitley, the man who powered Force Modi
Javed M AnsariMay 31, 2019 | 13:28
Arun Jaitley has been a key political support for Narendra Modi and Amit Shah. Although poor health made him step out of govt formation, speculation is rife over the informal role he could play.
Sushma Swaraj and Arun Jaitley, the two politically heavyweight ministers in the previous Modi government, have had to opt out this time for health reasons. Both of them reportedly have serious health concerns, they are apparently severe diabetics and have had kidney transplants.
While little is known about whether PM Modi made an effort to persuade the former Foreign Affairs Minister, Swaraj, to continue, he did apparently make a last-ditch effort to persuade Jaitley by driving down to the former Finance Minister's Kushak Road residence a day before the swearing-in ceremony.
While both the ministers played an important role in the previous government, the Prime Minister shares a very different equation with each of them.
Sushma Swaraj is a senior colleague and is treated with the respect she deserves — however, the former Finance Minister is somebody whom the Prime Minister leans on for support.
He was Modi's go-to person when it came to legal troubles in the wake of the 2002 riots. Jaitley continued to be his eyes and ears and his troubleshooter even when Modi was Chief Minister of Gujarat, and also when he moved to Delhi.
Always good vibes: Former Finance Minister Arun Jaitley and PM Modi had a great partnership. (Photo: PTI)
It's not just Modi — Jaitley was instrumental reportedly in bailing out Amit Shah during the time he was externed from Gujarat. It was a common sight in those days to see Shah in Jaitley's Kailash Colony office and the two would share meals several times a week. On the day of the 2014 election results, it was evident that the BJP would be forming the next government and Shah spent a considerable amount of time at Jaitley's house, reportedly commiserating with him over his defeat from Amritsar.
In the months preceding the formal announcement of Modi's name as the BJP's candidate in 2014, Jaitley worked discreetly behind the scenes to bring around Rajnath Singh, Shivraj Singh Chouhan and Nitin Gadkari. After Modi became the Prime Minister, he entrusted Jaitley with the all-important job of Finance Minister — overlooking and disregarding the likes of Arun Shourie and Subramanian Swamy.
Tug of War: Subramanian Swamy and Jaitley share one of the most enduring political rivalries. (Photo: PTI)
The PM also weighed in on the side of the former Finance Minister in his face-offs with Shourie and Ram Jethmalani, eventually leading to the parting of ways with the two.
Swamy-versus-Jaitley is in fact one of the most enduring rivalries within the saffron parivar.
The RSS leveraged its position to get Dr Swamy back into the BJP, but mindful of Jaitley's sensitivities on the issue, Modi refused to oblige. Dr Swamy and his admirers believe he is the best Finance Minister the country never had, and he makes no secret about his poor opinion of Jaitley handling of the economy. Jaitley as the leader of the Rajya Sabha, of which Swamy is a member, not only relegated him to the back benches but also apparently ensured that he did not get a chance to speak on behalf of the party in Parliament.
Jaitley was said to also have been of great help to Modi during his early days as the PM. The former Finance Minister used his extensive networking skills and cross-party linkages to help Modi find his feet in Delhi. He was also instrumental in bringing together President Pranab Mukherjee and the Prime Minister, and in persuading Nitish Kumar to return to the NDA as well as repairing his deeply fractured relationship with Modi.
Leaning In: Despite health issues, Jaitley may just continue to play an important political role. (Photo: PTI)
Mr Jaitley may have had to stay out of government on account of his ill health, but will, in all likelihood, continue to play a role, albeit an informal one.
Don't be surprised to learn of the Prime Minister leaning on his political management skills, to win over a disgruntled colleague or bring around the Opposition in the Upper House.

The Annual Conference
The John Donne Society 36th Annual Conference will be held
8–11 February 2023
at the Lod and Carole Cook Conference Center on the campus of Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge, LA.
See left column for links to the 2023 Call for Papers, Program, Invitation Letter, Registration Form, programs from past conferences, and newsletters as they become available.
The 2005, 20th Anniversary Conference
"Old Friends, New Friends, and John Donne Forever"
2005 marked the twentieth anniversary of the John Donne Society conference, which was held at the Lod and Carole Cook Conference Center at Louisiana University. The meeting featured a three-day program, an exhibit of photographs from past conferences, an "edition" of the Donne Conference limericks (Fasciculus Limerickorum), an uncut rendition of the "Donne Variorum Blues," and an awards ceremony at which special recognition was given to the founders and past presidents of the society. There was, of course, the usual spirited camaraderie at our many "receptions," and the anti-conference was distinguished by an especially prolific outpouring of new limericks and the awarding of a number of "special" awards to various members.

Hello, I've synced "Outlook to Android" from XP via Wi-Fi with CompL Ver4 (Build 4029) to my SE X10i ( AD 2.1 ) but Setting was "Apple iPhone(Wi-Fi Sync)" ;o( and after a "successful" end of these procedure DejaOffice on my Fon does not start... German: " Anwendung DejaOffice (in Prozess com.companionlink.clubsync) reagiert nicht" means "APP DO ( in process ... ) does not react"
...any deinstall - newinstall of DejaOffice and doesn't help and any SE Resets are without advantages.
You may need to do a Purge and Reload in CompanionLink as well.
- not the best, but it would be a solution for me.
which file or folder I have to delete on the original microSD to get the same result ?
Look for a life named "CLUSB".
We have had some problems where this file has been duplicated in some instances and has been creating some odd behavior. There should be only on file named CLUSB.
I am glad the CLUSB fix worked.
Regarding the Outlook 2003 sync error.
Did the data sync incorrectly from your computer to the phone? Or form the phone to the computer?
Did you try correcting the record on the computer and syncing again? If so, did this fix the problem?
Was this record created on the phone or in Outlook originally?
Is this an ongoing issue or a problem you found after syncing with the wrong settings?

during this test period I am in, I decited to change data records at Outlook only and push information to 100% via Outlook to iPhone and Outlook to Android with clearing of all data before and without any sync back.
It is a necessarily reaction of my very optimistical usage at the first some test days with your product. I started to sync with one Outlook to two phones ( an iPhone and an Android ) alternately and bidirectionally ;o))) Results within a dozen syncs were bloated databases with multiples of data records and my consequential decision turning back to start.
This phenomenon ( the "---" ciruit breaker ) occurred with one of approx. 800 contact data records and found out incidentaly only. But with other old and new data records tested and reproduceable.
What version of CompanionLink are you using? If you are syncing with multiple devices to the Same desktop with a standard version of CompanionLink you can do some very unpleasant things to you your data on the desktop and on the phone.
CompanionLink was not designed to handle situations like that and bad things will happen. CompanionLink Professional uses device profile technology, but the other versions do not.
Not clear exactly what your configuration is, but expect big problems unless you have the Pro version, and have entered specific device profiles into the CompanionLink Desktop SW.
I'm using the normal version of CL and I'm sure you're right for a continuing usage, but at first I've to try out more fundamental questions and therefore my above described procedures and my "false settings" sync error was my own handling problem and the "---" ciruit breaker phenomenon is independent to your doubts too. Furthermore that "---" is not important for me than more interesting for you I thought as much.

Solar power for powerless villages
Letters	— 06 September 2013	— by Charles Leslie, Jr.
I read a short article in the PUP newspaper that read "Solar Makes Sense". The article noted, and I paraphrase: there are 38 villages in the Toledo District without electricity. The Government-owned electricity company, which collected 193 million dollars from consumers last year, seems to have invested very little to provide power to these villages. We are in 2013 and this is unsatisfactory and unconstitutional. Power, and access to it, should be considered a basic human need. At this point, I believe that installing solar energy in these remote villages would cost much less than importing lamp posts, electric wires, transformers and such.
This short article prompted me to write this article, due to the fact that we recently installed a solar system on our small island fishing lodge, and cut down our diesel generator usage by more than 70%. After an on-site visit by our solar system provider, Solar Energy Solutions Belize Ltd, they estimated that with our four guest cabins filled with a maximum of 10 guests, our staff quarters with an average of 10 staff/fishing guides, managers' quarters and all on-island appliances, lights et al, we would need at least 12kWh/day average to operate smoothly on a 24/7 basis.
To make a comparison, our small island lodge can be considered 7 average households in Toledo Rural, that would require a 12kWh/day system to have 24/7 electricity.
Now, to provide 12kWh/day of power we required twelve 240Wp Crystalline Solar Panels, one inverter, one high frequency inverter, one smartformer and eight 6V 370Ah solar deep cycle batteries and other miscellaneous items for setup. The entire installation process took only two days to set up, starting from transportation to Placencia, then to island and setup of system, by only two technicians. A quick estimate: the Government of Belize can give each home in these villages the power they need to get into the 21st century, at an investment of approximately $7,000 per home or less (estimating taxes, duties, etc. are waived by GOB on importing equipment).
I am certain if GOB does a cost-benefit analysis (CBA) between running electricity to these villages from the grid or installing solar systems, solar would be a more sound investment/decision, and also it is free, green energy. The only perpetual expense would be to change the deep cycle batteries every 3 to 5 years, and with the pace of technological development, these equipment will continue to become cheaper and cheaper.
To support my claim that a CBA would justify the investment/decision to go solar to power these villages, I refer to the report "Assessment Of The Energy Sector In Belize" released in March 2011 states: With regard to energy, Belize is faced with the challenge of high energy costs and fossil fuel dependence, high energy imports, increasing environmental impacts, inadequate energy policies, antiquated infrastructure and technologies, outdated production approaches, scarce qualified workforce and inadequate energy data. The energy sector is one of the major sources of government revenue (e.g., fuel taxes, license fees and royalties). Roughly 75% of total energy demand is supplied through foreign sources.
According to the Public Utilities Commission (PUC), in 2009 Belize's primary energy sources comprised 66% fossil fuel (imported), 26% biomass (traditional biomass and bagasse), 5% electricity (imported), and 3% hydro. Wind and solar energy represent a negligible 0.03% of all primary energy sources (emphasis added). These percentages have not changed significantly over the last 10 years. Fossil fuels are imported by two companies: Esso Standard Oil S.A. Limited, the only private company in Belize authorized to import fuel, and Belize Electricity Limited (BEL), which also imports diesel fuel from Mexico.
The document goes on to say: Deployment of RETs (Renewal Energy Technology) for sustainable development faces various challenges, specifically the establishment of suitable institutional frameworks, the leveling of the playing field between grid-connected and off-grid electrification, the lack of awareness about RETs and poor technical support. Many of the traditional financing institutions dealing with Belize's rural poor who were interviewed for this report have very little or no knowledge of RET programs.
And last but not least: When it comes to Solar Energy not much work has been done in this field. However, solar PV could be an economically viable option, particularly considering the future in crude oil prices. Belize's average solar radiation in an optimal tilt angle is roughly estimated at 2,000-3,000 kWh/m2 per year. Taking into consideration the cost of deploying current technologies, solar generation would cost between 0.20 and 0.50 US$/kWh. This cost could drop to 0.10 US$/kWh by 2020. In addition to households, large scale solar PV systems could contribute significantly to power the industrial sector. Solar PV home systems typically consist of one 40 to 60 Watts-peak (Wp) module and one battery, which are highly cost-effective considering Belize's climate and solar radiation values. National legislation does not contemplate tax incentives for the generation of electricity by means of photovoltaic systems.
In conclusion, we are currently in the Stone Age when it comes to energy independence. The procurement of the solar technology equipment needed to light up these 38 villages in Toledo would be a small investment and a huge Return On Investment (ROI), and I am certain the CBA would more than justify the investment and decision to implement.
Let us start taking energy independence serious. Let us start by investing in green energy for Toledo, our most forgotten district, it seems.

Billings, Mont. – After a two-year investigation into the cause of the sudden, 15.1 price drop in cattle prices that occurred during the latter half of 2015, today the Government Accountability Office GAO issued its findings in a report titled, "Additional Data Analysis Could Enhance Monitoring of U.S. Cattle Market." In early 2016, R-CALF USA submitted a formal request to the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee (Committee) for an investigation into the 2015 price collapse. In its request, R-CALF USA stated the price collapse was unprecedented, with cattle prices falling farther and faster than during any time in history.
"The report used a very broad brush to describe a few of the more obvious problems in our U.S. cattle market and while it did identify some specific problems, it left several of the largest stones unturned," said R-CALF USA CEO Bill Bullard.
Although the report acknowledged that the profitability of America's cattle farmers and ranchers is dependent in part on international trade in cattle and beef and that fluctuations in the strength of the dollar can influence consumer purchases of cheaper imports, Bullard said the report ignores the elephant in the room.
"In 2015 the cattle market was burdened by an unprecedented surge in imports that resulted in a record $9.1 billion in cattle and beef imports while our U.S. exports were only $6.3 billion. This sudden increase of foreign cattle and beef had a much greater impact on the 2015 market collapse than is specifically acknowledged in the report," he said.
The report found that packer concentration levels remained relatively unchanged from 2013 to 2015 and concluded, therefore, that packer concentration did not likely contribute to the price collapse. However, the report did not explain why a concentration level in which just four packers control 85 percent of the market would have to change at all for those few packers to exert abusive market power upstream into the live cattle supply chain.
The report concluded that in some fed cattle procurement regions, limited competition was associated with lower fed cattle prices in those regions and, therefore, the report suggested that "some packers may have been able to exercise market power." However, the report did not address the extent to which the packers may have cooperated with each other to cause such reduced competition in certain regions.
The report found that the Packers and Stockyards Administration (PSA), which is charged with ensuring that packers do not engage in anticompetitive practices, has not properly monitored the fed cattle market. However, after suggesting two specific remedies to correct this problem, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) responded in the report that it did not intend to correct the deficiency whereby the PSA is not granted access to USDA's daily cattle pricing data. Thus, the PSA will be relegated to reviewing only old data, which will clearly impede its ability to identify anticompetitive buying practices on a timely basis.

With 40 days to go before a new season of LSU Football begins against Miami, the Voice of the Tigers Chris Blair stopped in Ville Platte Tuesday and addressed the meeting of the Rotary Club before attending a meet-and-greet session at the studios of KVPI radio.
During the meeting at the Family Life Center, Blair expressed that he first fell in love with Louisiana while still being the radio announcer for Georgia Southern University, which is in the Sun Belt Conference with UL-Lafayette and UL-Monroe.
Blair then gave his outlook on the upcoming football season. He said that he is more upbeat about the team that was predicted to finish fifth in the SEC West than many of the national writers because he gets to see the team everyday at practice and gets to see the work being done by the coaching staff.
According to Blair, LSU is already starting to see the results since Wade took over for Johnny Jones. "He really took a team without a lot of star power last year and built some excitement and had some big wins over some good teams that went on to play in the NCAA Tournament," he said.
"This year, he's got some horses that look a lot like (John) Calipari has had at Kentucky," Blair continued.
Blair remarked that this signing class complements the players who decided to return to school after being drafted by the major leagues. These players include Antoine Duplantis, Zach Watson, Zack Hess, and Hal Hughes. He added, "Josh Smith will be back who missed the entire year last year due to injury, and Eric Walker, whose prognosis is good, will be back. He was probably the best freshman pitcher in 2017. LSU Baseball is going to be in good shape. It's going to be a pretty talented group of Tigers out there for the next couple of years.


The R53 has a couple of parts in the timing chain system that can be easily serviced. The tensioner can become stuck in the closed position, causing timing chain rattle (and I'd assume, premature wear). The guides can break over time as well, causing rattle (and premature wear). Here's a guide to the refresh, which you can do in your own garage in 2-3 hours.
Video How-To of installing a Swaybar on the R50/52/53 MINI.
The serpentine belt on your R53 MCS is a critical component in the engine. It passes power from the motor to the air conditioning compressor to keep you comfortable, the alternator to keep your electrics running and to the supercharger, to give you a boost of power. A broken belt can leave you stranded on the side of the road, so it's a good idea not to neglect this tiny strap of rubber!
I did a lot of searching and found a few references on other MINI websites, but I never found a comprehensive guide on how to replace and bleed the clutch slave cylinder. This is a part that frequently fails on R53 MINIs (I'm on #4 in 4 years / 51k miles right now and carry a spare in the back of my car... I've sold this spare at cost twice to fellow motorists and had to use it once myself).
The primary purpose was a supercharger oil check/refill... It's an MCS only job that should be done every 80,000 miles or so for those of us with supercharged engines. I'm a bit early, but I had the time to do it now, so why not? I'm also very protective of my scheduled play time... I would hate to lose track time or fun time at an event like MINIs on the Dragon because of a break-down, so I tend to do more preventative maintenance than most… you have to figure out the cost/benefit for yourself.
Jango, my 2006 MCS (R53), and I have been driving the streets of Dallas, TX for almost 6 years. I've never found the AC to be quite up to the task of dealing with full Texas summers, but until this year, I've been able to put up with it. It's usually only screamingly hot here for 30-40 days in July and August and the AC will at least make the drive to and from work tolerable, though not particularly pleasant during these hottest days. The British and Germans just don't understand Texas summers.
On almost every R53 that I've seen lately, the crank sensor is weeping at least a little bit of oil. When it is just barely leaking, you will get a growth of a black oil and road grime on the front of the engine block that looks like cauliflower gone very bad. As it gets worse, you will find oil running down the front of the engine and blowing back along the bottom of the oil pan. Luckily this is both a cheap and easy fix with a few tricks shared with me by the great techs at MINI of Dallas.

How our work to create a new taxonomy can help improve operational risk management
Since our work in 2018 on developing a new operational risk taxonomy, we've published a new level 1 and level 2 event type reference taxonomy for operational and non-financial risk. The taxonomy is free for everyone to download.
Download the ORX Event Type Taxonomy
Original article (May 2018)
This month we shared our initial work on developing an operational risk taxonomy with the wider industry. By clearly capturing relevant risks, the ORX taxonomy is intended to be a reference point for financial institutions across the globe, supporting them in their move from 'passive' to 'active' risk management.
Creating a useful reference for the industry
Our 2018 study on developing an industry reference taxonomy was built on the taxonomies of 44 banks and insurers. It gives us the basis for future phases of research aimed at providing an industry reference taxonomy for operational risk. We believe it is very important to treat this work as a reference, a resource to inform and learn from, not a hard standard to be inflexibly imposed.
While standards do form the basis of how we provide a platform for the industry to exchange information, we see no benefit in these being proprietary. As a not for profit industry association, whose mission is "to enhance the sound management of operational risk across the global financial services industry", we aim to be as open as possible in sharing our work on taxonomies as it develops.
Standards are available and relevant to all
This is not the first time ORX has set about providing guidance to the wider industry. Since its inception, ORX has led the way in providing the reporting standards by which the industry views operational risk events. By bringing together a wealth of knowledge and experience from our community of members, we have produced Operational Risk Reporting Standards for both the banking and insurance industry.
Crucially, our standards have always been publicly available to anyone (get your copy here). Over the years, many thousands of individuals have requested copy, and many non-members of ORX, big and small institutions alike, have benefited from using them to support their operational risk event collection and reporting practices.
Reorienting existing taxonomies – a shared challenge
Throughout the last year, we've noticed a significant gain in momentum in the development of new operational risk taxonomies. Many institutions are now trying to shift tools and processes from regulatory reporting and capital calculation, towards supporting the growing focus on proactive operational risk management.
Taxonomies support a wide range of risk measurement and management activities, including risk control self-assessments (RCSAs), reporting, event management, scenario analysis and key risk indicators (KRIs). Used across a range of tools and processes, taxonomies are often influenced by committee and organisational structure.
Although all of this does make taxonomies difficult and costly to change, it also demonstrates how important they are to get right. Articulating the case for change needs to be both robust and considered.

Limelight Shines Light on '90s New York City: Clubs, Drugs, and Giuliani
Liz Tracy
Liz Tracy | October 4, 2011 | 9:00am
Manhattan's clubland outlasted AIDS, it out-partied Andy Warhol, but it couldn't survive Rudy Giuliani. In Limelight, filmmaker Billy Corben wandered from his traditional muse, his hometown of Miami, to tell of the tribulations and literal trial of former NY nightclub king Peter Gatien. He was targeted by the feds and NYPD in the late '90s after ruling the club world for almost two decades.
The story came to Corben and his business partner Alfred Spellman through Peter Gaiten's daughter Jen. She produced 2007's Hounddog, the film with the controversial Dakota Fanning rape scene. Jen Gatien came to the pair and asked that they tell the enthralling tale of her father.
Personality-wise, Gatien is the "anti-Steve Rubell," according to the
director. He never shat where he ate. Painted in the film as a dedicated
businessman, the owner of Palladium, Tunnel, Club USA, and the infamous
Limelight curated a scene using theatrical elements, smarts, and good
instincts. His finger was always on the pulse of culture, fashion,
music, and party trends.
Limelight was housed in a historical Episcopal church in the heart of
NYC. It was such a fantastic success that when Corben told his
grandfather what he was working on a film about the club, he said, "the
one in the church? Oh, yeah, your grandmother and I went there."
The film not only tracks the Giuliani and DEA crackdown on the nightclub
scene in New York by prosecuting Gatien, it also examines many other
thematic threads. "We like the micro macro element of it that we were
able to capture," Corben said. Telling the story of a city in a
timeframe through that of an interesting character. Limelight explores
New York in the '90s, its drugs, racial tension, the abuse of power, and
the decline of a culture.
Drugs and power are typical themes in Corben's films. "We did Square
Grouper: The Godfathers of Ganja this year, that was our '70s pot movie,
we did Cocaine Cowboys, that's our '80s cocaine movie, and now we have
our '90s ecstasy movie." He admitted, "We've got the whole drug by
decades trilogy here."

The real estate market is booming for those that want to invest in homes and flip these properties. Everyone does not have the money or the resources to initially get started, but this is where Nick Vertucci and his real estate academy come into place. In a world where people want to get out of the financial debt that they are bogged down with it makes sense to look at the possibilities that come for long-term real estate. In building a revenue stream outside of their job it important so know how the real estate industry works, and Nick Vertucci is the teacher that relays this info.
The job market is always up and down, and there are times where it is going to be in your best interest to have additional income streams. Nick Vertucci knows this all too well because he was part of the technology industry when things went awry. He had to regroup.
The thing that inspired Nick Vertucci was his failure. Once the door to the computer parts business closed he was determined to get himself back on his feet. Once he became aware of how he could make money in real estate it became possible for him to transfer this information into a step-by-step guide. This is how he started the Nick Vertucci Real Estate Academy. So far this has been quite as successful. This is ideal for others that are looking for opportunities to step into another revenue stream arena.
Vertucci has learned what it takes to be successful when it comes to real estate investing, and he wants to give others a starting point even if they do not initially have the funds to make the investment. He wants to help people discover how the investment process works for buying and selling homes.

$6M windfall – at what cost ?
Posted on December 23, 2013 by terrypfogarty
The Land & Environment Court has handed down its decision on the Meriton site in Albert Ave (the old Thomas St Carpark). The site was originally purchased by Meriton for $50M. It came with an approval for two primarily residential towers of 29 and 23 storeys. Meriton lodged a new Planning Proposal seeking approval for 47 and 37 storeys. The application went in front of the NSW Department of Planning who suggested heights in between might be appropriate. The Department referred the matter to the Planning Assessment Committee (PAC). The PAC found that the new Planning Proposal lacked merit and refused the application. Meriton then appealed to the court.
The Court has approved a modified application of twin towers of 33 and 38 storeys on the Thomas Street car park site.

Large maintenance projects – West Ward lucks out (again) →
3 thoughts on "$6M windfall – at what cost ?"
cwwpa says:
I walked to Windeyer House 225 Macquarie Street to Land and Environment Court 5B at 1.50PM. This was a dry affair. Mr Tim.Moore for the Planning Minister Brad Hazzard took one hour to explain that the previous Government Part 3A rulings could be continued for $50M major regional projects like the Meriton twin towers of 33 and 38 storeys on the Thomas Street car park site.
The Minister has discretionary powers and has the right to decide the outcome – and this was what hapened. Some very minor changes were made to either make Meriton negotiate with 2-4 Thomas Street to provide lift access for disabled clients of two medical practices preferably on an ongoing basis rather than the proffered once off inadequate lump sum.
Councillor Saville for West Ward WCC attended. Meriton is to pay $6M as a Voluntary Payment Agreement being over and above the Modification 3 Meriton paid $50M for in 2009 29 and 23 storeys.
These developers like $4NBN Harry Triguboff have the money and his style is to maximise site opportunity to make the rules to profit him!
While this outcome is better than the 47:37 towers Councillors recommended to the PAC. The PAC heard from 16 speakers including myself and rejected this ambit claim by Meriton.
Commissioner Ms. Pearson for Land Env Commission took 30 minutes to discuss Iglu 15 storey adjoining council compliant nearly completed student accomodation building capacity 400. No, they were not prepared to change the Meriton setback of 1.2m to be overshadowed and dwarfed on the South east side of Albert Avenue: a gridlocked thoroughfare from the PH. Matters such as overshadowing the Oval and the Croquet lawn, wind tunnel, loss of sunlight for 8 storey unit blocks opposite in Albert Ave were considered minor and disregarded. Traffic would become worse – the three level podium will have vehicles turn left to enter and exit by turning left. Education of children in these blocks was raised but not addressed. CHS and CPS are stretched unreasonably. More land is required and none is forthcoming. Great unworthy work by the Planning Minister and his staff.
Philosophy: Deal with Council and you will be compliant. Deal with the State Government "We're open for business! We love developers with big plans and we are not too fussed about balanced development under the Sydney Metropolitan Strategy. With Proximity to Chatswood Station – the sky is the limit."
The green paper and white paper designed over a promise by Premier O'Farrell on handing back planning powers to councils and the people is just a disgraceful broken promise. Iglu's owner engaged lawyer Mr. Lazarus but all his points were disgreed with and refuted. No resurrection scene in this farce. Meriton is to make minor changes and Mr.Moore will make the approval final on Tuesday 24 December.
Peter Timmermann says:
It is clear that governments like the big developers and do not want to upset them. This is money power, changing all rules as contributions to the parties, whoevers in power, as it has now been demonstrated, are the preferred option, overshadowing any concerns of residents. Triguboff does not live here, he just makes his money and leaves the community to deal with the destruction he leaves behind.
Jim McCredie says:
The report needs a "by-line", as it includes first-person statements.
It is also notable that CWWPA members take the time to attend court hearings and other meetings that otherwise would not receive close public scrutiny and first-hand reporting..

from potential cargo reservation terms in a U.S.-Soviet maritime agreement.
Talks on a new bilateral pact will resume March 5 at King's Point, N.Y.The Maritime Administration, the lead agency in the negotiations, wants the agreement to apportion cargo in one-third shares to the United States, the Soviet Union and third-flag countries.
Steve McCoy, president of the North American Export Grain Association, said Thursday a cargo reservation provision would "cripple U.S. export opportunities in the Soviet Union.
"For the first time ever, U.S. exporters, including agricultural exporters, would be exposed to the potential costs of cargo preference applied to commercial cargoes to the Soviet Union."

Looks like most of the cheapest flights in June and July are now $188 roundtrip with WestJet.
There are still a few in June for $168 roundtrip if you use a departure date of June 18.

Wilmington Police Officer Justin Wilkers was shot in the jaw while chasing a suspect in the Southbridge neighborhood.
Wilkers and his partner attempted to stop a vehicle for an equipment violation. The vehicle fled, though, and the officers began pursuit. When the vehicle stopped, several suspects fled on foot. As Wilkers was getting out of his car, one of the suspects drew a handgun and shot him in the jaw.
Two men, Ronald Boyce and Jared Wiggins, were arrested and police are looking for a third suspect.
Wilkers was wounded during the incident.
Wilkers, a patrolman with the Wilmington Police Department, was shot in the jaw while pursuing a suspect. Fellow officers drove him to Wilmington Hospital. He was later transferred to Christiana Hospital where he was listed in serious but stable condition.
The bullet was lodged in the officer's skull and a surgery was scheduled for Feb. 7.
Boyce was arrested on Feb. 3, 2013.
Boyce, of Wilmington, was charged with resisting arrest.
Wiggins was arrested on Feb. 3, 2013.
Wiggins, of Wilmington, was the driver of the vehicle that led police in a chase through the Southbridge neighborhood. He was charged with disregarding a police signal, providing false statement and resisting arrest.
Gray was arrested on Feb. 4, 2013.
Gray, a convicted felon, was charged with first-degree attempted murder, possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, and possession of a firearm by a person prohibited in connection with the shooting of Wilmington Police Officer Justin Wilkers.
He was being held on $300,000 cash bail for the counts related to the shooting and $100,000 cash bail for violation of probation on assault, firearms possession and conspiracy convictions in 2007.

I am a St. Lawrence County native having grown up in Canton. I am a graduate of Canton Central High School. My husband and I relocated to Cranberry Lake in 2003. My current hobbies include spending time with family and friends, traveling, and volunteering. Some of my volunteer work includes being a Critical Care EMT with the Cranberry Lake Fire and Rescue as well as Asst. Chief of EMS, the department Secretary and President of The Cranberry Lake Fireman's Auxiliary.
As a licensed Realtor®, I specialize in representing my clients in the purchase and sale of residential and income property within St. Lawrence County; specializing in Cranberry Lake and Star Lake.

After genetic genealogy was used to make an arrest in the decades-old Golden State Killer case in April and GEDmatch changed its terms of service to alert people to possible police involvement, Moore said she feels more comfortable with the idea that people are informed.
"Our view is that DNA constitutes highly sensitive personal information. While DNA profiles can help solve cold cases ... and bring emotional closure to victims and families, their collection and retention must respect the highest possible standards of fair balance between security and privacy," it said in an emailed statement.


Over the past few months I have seen an increase in the number of clients coming in with anxiety. Symptoms may include restlessness, insomnia, fearfulness, and a whole host of other symptoms depending on the individual and on the severity of the condition.
Acupuncture and herbal medicine can be an effective treatment for the symptoms of anxiety for many people. Of the hundreds of acupuncture points I use weekly, there are many that are considered calming points in the classic Chinese medicine texts. These points used in combination with points to address each client's personal constitution can provide help to calm the emotions and assist in getting restful sleep.
One of these points is called Yintang. Yintang is located just above the nose midway between the inner edge of the eyebrows. This area is commonly referred to as the third eye in many traditional cultures. I have found this point to be an effective point to calm agitation and to soothe restlessness. Yintang has been named the 'happy point' by one of my clients who benefits from its calming effects.
There are many other acupuncture points that can also be used as well. Each client receives a specific point combination to balance their own mind, body, and spirit.

NYJW Sabbath Week
When the Broken Path Still Leads Home
By Rabbi Shmuel Reichman July 22, 2021 10:42 am
In Parshat Va'etchanan, we read about the Arei Miklat, the cities of refuge for those who unintentionally kill (Devarim 4:41-49). This portion usually falls out immediately following Tisha B'av, and, consequently, shortly before the Hebrew month of Elul.
At face value, the cities of refuge, Tisha B'Av and Elul do not seem to share a thematic connection. The city of refuge is a safe haven for one who unwittingly murders. Tisha B'av is a day of sadness and destruction, as Klal Yisrael mourns the loss of the Temple and the tragedies that have occurred throughout Jewish history. And Elul is the month of teshuva (repentance) leading up to the High Holy Days.
What links these three topics?
On Tisha Ba'av, we go through a process of mourning, similar to the process of mourning a loved one. This might seem an excessive response to the loss of a building — the Beis Ha'Mikdash, the Holy Temple. However, the destruction of the Temple itself was merely the physical expression of a much deeper tragedy. The Beis Ha'Mikdash was the makom (locus) of connection between Hashem and this physical world. It was destroyed as a result of the disconnect that we, Klal Yisrael, created between us and Hashem, between us and our fellow humans, and between us and ourselves. We lost sight of the spiritual root of this world, shattering the connection between us and Hashem.

As the Nefesh Ha'Chaim (1:4) explains, once this bond was broken, the Temple, its physical vessel, was reduced to an empty shell and could easily be destroyed.
Death is the disconnect between a spiritual life-force and its physical vessel. The death of a person is the process of one's soul separating from their body. When the Temple was destroyed, the world died, resulting in a cosmic spiritual chasm and a shattered reality. We yearn for the day when Hashem will once again be fully and clearly manifest in this world, revealing the spiritual essence of this physical reality.
And just as a person who murders is punished, the Jewish people who "killed" the world were sent into exile. According to some opinions, this was in fact an act of mercy on the part of Hashem, as the Jewish people should have been executed for severing the world's soul from its body. Instead, we were merely exiled, maintaining the ability to correct our mistake and return home.
Similarly, a midrash (Eichah Rabbah 4:14) states that instead of destroying the Jewish people, Hashem took his wrath out on the wood and stones of the Temple, giving us the chance to rebuild anew.
Which brings us to Elul, and why it directly follows Tisha B'Av. Tisha B'Av is the time of breakdown, exile and death; Elul is the time of rejuvenation, redirection and rebirth. As we transition from Tisha B'Av towards Elul, we pause, stop the negative momentum, and begin building anew.
Elul, in the deepest sense, represents our journey back home to our proper place, back to our unbreakable bond with Hashem. The goal of Rosh Hashanah is to fully and wholeheartedly anoint and embrace Hashem as our King. This can only happen after a month spent bridging the gap that we created between us. We yearn to return the world to its proper, higher state, to return the Jewish people back to our elevated status, and for each and every one of us to return to our higher, true selves.
The process of return is a joyous one, but it is also a challenging one. We often feel as though we are fighting an uphill battle, and we struggle to maintain momentum and continue gaining ground. Every year as we approach Elul, there is an underlying sense of dread as we prepare ourselves for another year of "resolutions," making the same list of goals, only to be forgotten two weeks later. For many, this is the unspoken dread of Elul: the feeling of despair and loneliness as we strive to rebuild ourselves and repair our broken connection with Hashem.
The city of refuge represents hope for the hopeless, a home for the homeless, stability for the unstable.
And that is why Hashem created the city of refuge. It is a place for those without a place. When one loses their physical makom, they feel lost, abandoned, hopeless. At exactly this moment, they are given a sense of hope. They may have lost their place, but there is still a place for them to go until they can return home. The city of refuge represents hope for the hopeless, a home for the homeless, stability for the unstable.

This is the purpose of Elul. It is Hashem's way of saying, "There will always be a place for you." In response, we must embrace that place, and begin rebuilding from there towards our true destination.
This is the first step of teshuva, recognizing that we are not where we need to be, but that through constant effort and the help of Hashem, we can get there; we can return to our true makom, we can ascend to a true Rosh Hashanah. May we all be inspired to pause, find our footing, and use this Elul to purposefully journey back to our true makom, Hashem.

Celebrating Colorado Principals: Stephanie Auday
Teresa Peacock 0
Adams 12 – Skyview Elementary
Stephanie Auday is in her 3rd year as principal of the Adams 12 Five Star Schools District Skyview Elementary School. She received her Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education from Minnesota State University at Mankato before moving to Colorado to further her career in teaching. Auday spent several years as a classroom educator in the Adams 12 school district before receiving her Master's degree in Educational Leadership and Policy Studies through the Ritchie Program for School Leaderships in the Adams County Cohort.
Soon after graduating, Stephanie began leading in her community through three Assistant principal positions in the Adam 12 Elementary Schools. "The Ritchie program developed who I am as a leader, it focuses on beliefs and values that drive your day-to-day work".
Auday attributes her successful career in leadership to the application of systems thinking. "Good systems allow people to be creative and successful… clear organization is key". At Skyview Elementary, Auday has applied this principle by analyzing the school system and implementing a plan for teachers to stay an hour and a half longer together every Monday. During these Monday sessions, teachers collaborate with one another and walk away with something accomplished. "The complex nature of schooling means we (teachers) need to support each other professionally and emotionally." This community effort continues into the rest of the week where teachers will stop in the hall or meet up in a classroom to touch base.
Auday wears her learner's hat with her staff and is open to dialog, discussion, and pushback. She aims to empower her teachers to have the capacity to solve complex problems. "This isn't a job you can do on your own…the goal is to live in a professional learning community," Auday explained.

Who Would Win Trump Or Biden
Mike Duggan Wins A Third Term As Detroits Mayor
Whos Likelier to Win, Trump or Biden?
Mayor Mike Duggan of Detroit was elected to a third term on Tuesday, The Associated Press projected, as voters signaled confidence in the direction of a city that has suffered from decades of disinvestment and population loss.
Mr. Duggan, a Democrat who was elected eight years ago as the city was in the throes of municipal bankruptcy, has presided over a resurgence of Detroits commercial center and a restoration of basic city services like streetlights. New factories are opening, the Detroit Pistons basketball team moved back from the suburbs, and young college graduates have moved into downtown and Midtown, along with businesses catering to them.
Eight years ago, the problems Detroit was facing were just Detroit no other city was talking about bankruptcy or streetlights, Mr. Duggan said earlier this year. Today, the challenges that were dealing with, every other city has.
But by Mr. Duggans own assessment, Detroit remains a work in progress. Violent crime is a persistent concern. Blighted and abandoned homes are a common sight, despite efforts to bulldoze or restore many buildings over the last decades. And some longtime residents, especially Black residents who stayed in Detroit through years of white flight to the suburbs, say they are concerned about gentrification as the white population grows and rents go up.

The States Trump Must Defend
Beyond the core big six swing states and the two weird congressional districts, each candidate is trying to go on offense in a set of states where they suspect their opponent is favored but hope for an upset.
For Biden, the states hes trying to pluck out of Trumps hands are the traditional swing states of Ohio and Iowa, and the recently Republican-leaning states of Georgia and Texas.
We can think of this group as two pairs of states: two Biden is trying to win back, and two that are relatively new territory for Democrats to be contesting.
Ohio and Iowa went for Obama twice, and trended heavily toward Republicans in 2016 . Biden hopes to win back, and poll averages suggest he has a decent shot of it hes currently abouttied in Ohio and alsoin in Iowa.
Texas and Georgia havent voted for Democratic presidential candidates in decades but Democrats margins of defeat there have recently shrunk . Currently, polling averages show Biden narrowlyahead in Georgia and narrowlytrailing in Texas.
Its generally believed that these states are unlikely to be decisive, since if Biden wins one of these states, hes probably won enough states from the big six as well.
But weird things can happen. Here, for instance, is an map where Trump holds strong in the Upper Midwest and Rust Belt , and wins Florida and North Carolina but Biden wins the election, because surprisingly high turnout among Mexican American voters delivers him narrow victories in Arizona and Texas.
What You Need To Know About Biden
Joe Biden, or Sleepy Joe as the POTUS refers to him, may have some factors working against him like age and height, but he has one edge over Donald Trump when it comes to a fist fight and thats his football background.
Yes, its been more than 50 years since the former vice-president donned the shoulder pads and leather helmet but that shows he isnt averse to physical contact. The man played halfback and linebacker, both positions that involve a lot of physical punishment. That means he could likely take Trumps best shot before having to summon the energy a 77-year-old would need to knock out another senior citizen.
Even earlier this year, Biden looked like he was ready to scrap with an auto parts worker in Michigan when the topic of gun control came up:

Biden Leading National Presidential Polls
National polls are a good guide as to how popular a candidate is across the country as a whole, but they're not necessarily a good way to predict the result of the election.
In 2016, for example, Hillary Clinton led in the polls and won nearly three million more votes than Donald Trump, but she still lost – that's because the US uses an electoral college system, so winning the most votes doesn't always win you the election.
With that caveat aside, Joe Biden has been ahead of Donald Trump in most national polls since the start of the year. He has hovered around 50% in recent months and has had a 10-point lead on occasions.
Turnout High In Virginia's Shenandoah Valley
At one precinct in Augusta County, Virginia, chief election officer Lesley Piner said she had to ask the county for more ballots before lunchtime, having run out by 11 a.m.
Piner said the county only gave the precinct about 300 ballots for the day. They had surpassed that before noon.
"We've been very steady … more than I expected," she said.
About 50 people in the precinct opted to vote early and more than 300 out of a total of 1,000 registered voters had voted in the morning a number that shocked Piner.
"Normally, I would have thought we'd have 350 people for the entire day," she said. "We're going to surpass that, and it's not even noon."
Virginia's polls close at 7 p.m.

Michelle Wu Wins Boston Mayoral Race
Michelle Wu, 36, won a hotly contested mayoral race in Boston after fellow council member and Democrat Annissa Essaibi George conceded Tuesday. Wu gained 56% of votes compared to 43% for George.
Wu is a Harvard Law graduate who served on the council since 2014. She is the first woman and first woman of color elected mayor of the commonwealth capital, breaking a streak of white male city leaders.
Sens. Elizabeth Warren and Edward Markey, along with Rep. Ayanna Pressley, all from Massachusetts, campaigned with Wu, along with acting Boston Mayor Kim Janey. Janey, a Black woman, was appointed after previously elected mayor Marty Walsh stepped down to become secretary of Labor under President Joe Biden.
Donald Trump Beats Joe Biden In 2024 Election Poll
A new poll has placed former President Donald Trump as the favorite to win the 2024 U.S. election, slightly edging Democratic incumbent Joe Biden.
A national Emerson College Poll found that if the two men were to go head-to-head in 2024, Trump would be slightly favored with 47 percent against Biden's 46 percent.
Biden has split job approval among registered voters, the poll found. It said that around 47 percent disapprove and 46 percent approve of the work he is doing as president. The other 7 percent were undecided.
Of the Democrats polled, 60 percent said they would see Biden as the 2024 presidential nominee, while 39 percent said they would rather it be someone else.
Of the Republican voters polled, 67 percent said they would vote for Trump in a hypothetical GOP primary with seven other candidates, including Florida Governor Ron DeSantis , former Vice President Mike Pence, Texas Senator Ted Cruz and former South Carolina Governor and ex-UN Ambassador Nikki Haley.
When placed head-to-head in a hypothetical 2024 presidential race, Biden is favorite to win against all of the other Republican challengers, including DeSantis.
Democrats Under Fire Over Unemployment Benefits Cliff as COVID Surges
With regards to the 2022 midterms, the poll found that 71 percent of Democrats and 69 of Republicans said they were very likely to vote in the contest.

The Gop Margins Make It Even More Worrisome For Democrats In 2022
The headline, of course, is that Mr. Youngkin won. But for political strategists focused on the midterms in 2022, his final margin and specifics about where his campaign excelled and Mr. McAuliffe underperformed is every bit as revealing about the trajectory of the two parties.
Think of it this way: Because Mr. Biden carried Virginia by 10 percentage points in 2020, a Youngkin victory represents a Republican improvement of more than 10 percentage points in exactly one year.
That is a lot even knowing Virginias history of delivering its governorship to the party out of power in the White House.
Just as worrisome for the Democrats is that of the 36 governorships up for grabs in 2022, eight are now held by Democrats in states that had a smaller Democratic margin of victory in 2020 than Virginia, according to an election memo for donors from the Republican Governors Association. That list includes three of the most crucial presidential battlegrounds: Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin.
The picture in the House is just as bleak for Democrats.
Patrick Ruffini, a Republican pollster, noted that if a roughly 10-point swing about the gain Mr. Youngkin needed to win in Virginia were applied to the 2020 House results in districts nationwide, Republicans would have picked up 38 House seats.
Strategists in both parties said that unless the political environment improved for Democrats, they were at risk of losing both the House and Senate in 2022.
The Two Swing Congressional Districts: Me
Who will win the 2020 election? President Donald Trump vs. Joe Biden
Another quirk in the Electoral College system is that just two small states Maine and Nebraska have made the unusual decision to allot some of their electoral votes to the winners in each congressional district in the state, rather than giving them all to the statewide winner as the other 48 states do.
Practically, one of Maines two districts is safe for Democrats, and two of Nebraskas three districts are safe for Republicans. But the remaining district in each state Maines Second District and Nebraskas Second District is up for grabs.
With just one electoral vote at stake for each, theyll only actually matter in the closest of races. But if such a close contest transpires, theyll be absolutely crucial. For instance, the 269-269 tie map above would flip to Biden if he was able to win Nebraskas Second District.
Maines Second is rural, and white voters lacking college degrees make up a large share of the electorate. Its result in presidential years had always been the same as Maines statewide result until 2016, when Trump won it by the sizable margin of 10 points . Recent polls have showed Biden with a narrow lead there this year.
Heres another scenario where these two congressional districts could decide the president if Biden wins Michigan and Pennsylvania, but Trump wins Florida, North Carolina, Arizona, and Wisconsin, with the two key congressional districts undecided.

Don't Miss: Is Trump A Great President
Running Against Trump Is Tried And True But Is Biden 'mentally Sharp' Enough For The Job
Joe Biden may think hes doing a great job and that if, by chance, anything has gone wrong during his presidency, its somebody elses fault. But the American people arent buying it.
A new poll by Gallup has the president at his lowest approval rating since he took office. Only 43 percent of the American people approve of the job hes doing and, for the first time, a majority 53 percent disapprove.
And while Democrats overwhelmingly support the president 90 percent even thats not as good as it sounds. At the height of his popularity, almost everybody who identified as a Democrat 98 percent said they approved of the way Biden was handling his job.
But in these hyper-partisan times, independents are the ones who really matter. And theres bad news on that front for the president. Only 37 percent of independents approve of the presidents performance in office his lowest number so far, 24 points below his personal high of 61 percent.
Polls, of course, arent etched in stone. They can change tomorrow. But if the numbers dont change, Democrats are going to have a tough time running on the presidents record in next years midterm elections.

Ohios 15th congressional district could be another litmus test for the endorsement of the two major political party leaders.
President Joe Biden jumped into the districts special election with an eleventh-hour endorsement of Democratic state Rep. Allison Russo on Monday. Former President Donald Trump already had backed Republican Mike Carey, a coal lobbyist.
The two candidates are running in a district that favors the GOP to replace former Rep. Steve Stivers, a Republican who resigned to take a job in the private sector.
Carey also has gotten a boost from national Republican groups and a campaign visit from former Vice President Mike Pence, according to The Columbus Dispatch.

Republicans Score Key Wins In District Attorney Races On Long Island
Republicans won two highly competitive district attorney races on Long Island that were seen as key tests of Democratic strength in the suburbs and support for left-leaning criminal justice measures.
In Nassau County, State Senator Todd Kaminsky, a moderate Democrat, conceded on Wednesday to Anne Donnelly, a first-time Republican candidate, in a bitterly contested special election that Mr. Kaminsky had entered as the favorite.
Just east in Suffolk County, Timothy Sini, the Democratic incumbent, conceded to Raymond Tierney, the Republican challenger, late Tuesday night.
Both races, outside New York City, were seen as bellwethers of the Democratic Partys standing in the suburbs, and they may have national resonance for Republicans as they seek to regain control of Congress in next years midterm elections.
In Nassau, Democrats entered the race with high hopes of keeping the seat blue it has been held by a Democrat since 2006 but party insiders grew increasingly nervous as Election Day approached and Republicans waged what appeared to be an effective campaign attacking Mr. Kaminsky for supporting the states contentious bail law in 2019.
There are more registered Democrats than Republicans in Nassau County, though more Republicans tend to vote in off-year elections, a trend that was apparently amplified on Tuesday.
Mail-in votes still must be counted and Ms. Curran had not conceded as of Wednesday morning. The Associated Press has not called the race.
