Portret generała Henryka Dembińskiego także Portret jenerała Henryka Dembińskiego – obraz olejny malarza Henryka Rodakowskiego. Dzieło jest przechowywane w Muzeum Narodowym w Krakowie.

Historia

Obraz został namalowany specjalnie na Salon paryski w 1852 r. Artysta prawdopodobnie inspirował się przy jego powstaniu obrazem "Praga 1831"  Léona Cognieta. Cogniet był nauczycielem Rodakowskiego oraz był uważany za przyjaciela Polski i Polaków, stronnika ich walki narodowowyzwoleńczej. Wspomniany obraz przedstawiał polskiego oficera na tle płonącego miasta i pola bitwy zasłanego ciałami poległych. Żołnierz ten stoi dumnie wyprostowany z rękami założonymi na piersi i z twarzą wyrażającą gniew. Obraz ten został spopularyzowany później jako grafika wykonana przez Jean-Pierra Jazeta. Inspiracją do sylwetki oficera na obrazie Cognieta mogła być z kolei litografia przedstawiająca gen. Henryka Dembińskiego, wydana w Lipsku i Berlinie w 1832 r.,  a wykonana wg rysunków Józefa Kurowskiego.

Opis
Portret przedstawia generała Henryka Dembińskiego, uczestnika kampanii napoleońskich, powstania listopadowego i rewolucji węgierskiej, osobę znaną francuskiej opinii publicznej z licznych artykułów publikowanych w prasie i wspomnień wydanych w 1832 r., symbol walki Polaków o niepodległość. Generał jest ukazany w mundurze oficera armii węgierskiej, siedzi samotnie w namiocie sztabowym na bębnie. Dembiński wspiera głowę na zaciśniętej w pięść dłoni. Obok niego na baryłce prochu spoczywa mapa. W tle, widocznym za połą namiotowego płótna, widać żołnierzy rewolucyjnej armii węgierskiej w rozległym krajobrazie.

Malarz wpisał sylwetkę portretowanego bohatera w  kształt trójkąta równoramiennego, klasyczną figurę stosowaną w malarstwie. Również
postać wodza na tle bitwy, to tradycyjne ujęcie tematu, stosowane szeroko w malarstwie barokowym. Kolorystyka obrazu jest ciemna, oparta na zgaszonych zieleniach, złotych brązach, czerniach i akcentach ochry i głębokiej czerwieni.

W prawym dolnym rogu obrazu znajduje się sygnatura: "H. Rodakowski 1852". W lewym górnym rogu malarz umieścił napis: "jen. Henryk / Dembiński".

Odbiór i interpretacje
Portret generała Henryka Dembińskiego na Salonie otrzymał wielki złoty medal pierwszej klasy w dziedzinie portretu. Został entuzjastycznie przyjęty przez krytyków francuskich i polskich, pisali o nim m.in. Théophile Gautier, Maxime Du Camp i Louis Clément de Ris. Eugène Delacroix zapisał w swoim Dzienniku, że obraz olśnił go na wystawie, Delacroix był też podobno osobą, która wytypowała portret do medalu. Cyprian Kamil Norwid poświęcił temu dziełu wiersz, zamieszczony w liście do Juliusza Kossaka w 1856r.

Portret jest jednocześnie głęboką psychologiczną analizą modela jak i obrazem w pewnym sensie alegorycznym, niosącym ze sobą głębsze treści. Pod względem historycznym krytycy dostrzegają w nim przede wszystkim elementy romantyczne, ale także realistyczne i akademickie.

Współcześnie obraz jest interpretowany jako portret zmęczonego i samotnego wodza pokonanej armii, znużonego bohatera rozmyślającego w pozie Chrystusa Frasobliwego. Z drugiej strony podkreśla się, że biografia Dembińskiego, nieustannie szukającego okazji do walki o sprawę polską, jak i sama treść dzieła wyklucza jednoznaczne skojarzenie z porażką. Dłoń generała spoczywa na rękojeści szabli, a poza namiotem trwa nierozstrzygnięta bitwa- takie symbole nie mogą nieść znaczenia o całkowitej klęsce polskiej walki o niepodległość. Wg tej interpretacji w obrazie nie ma rezygnacji, ale refleksja, a postać gen. Dembińskiego została wybrana celowo w celu podtrzymania na duchu Polaków i oddania hołdu wszystkim uczestnikom Wiosny Ludów.

I did a local magazine interview a couple of months ago, and the interviewer asked specifically about the "Asian influence" in my home. I took a quick mental inventory and realized that you can find a little mix of Asian flair in almost every room in my house! I realized that this love probably stems from my home growing up- my parents were VERY into the whole '80's black lacquer furniture that was Thomasville's take on "Asian" as well as ginger jars from stores like Homegoods, etc. Please understand, this is not me mocking their look or the style, I think my Mom had it right well before many other high end designers did! I feel like I took her love a step further in seeking out the authentic and truly rare and mixing it in with my other loves.
You'll find antique Korean tanu chests mixed in with brass fretwork shelves and reproduction furniture from the '70's made by American of Martinsville and Dixie. In order for it not to look so contrived or "theme-y" I think it's always important to display your Asian pieces with lots of different styles. You'll see both in my home and the inspiration pics below, these pieces look right at home alongside French Provincial chairs, Danish Midcentury rosewood pieces, modern lighting and contemporary upholstery.
When trying to get the look in your own home, I think it's important to look for pieces with versatility and interesting lines. If it's a reproduction piece- could it be lacquered a poppy color? If it's an antique, can it actually be useful to you in your home? This will help it from looking less like a museum piece and more like a cool way to use something really old. For example, in our dining room I have a tansu cabinet from the 1860's that serves as part sideboard, part bar cabinet, part blanket chest- and it works because we need it to- duh!

CarePayment experiencing unprecedented growth in patient payment program
Lake Oswego, OR. – January 6, 2012 – CarePayment Technologies, Inc., a leading provider of consumer-focused healthcare financing solutions offered via hospitals and medical providers, announced today that it is seeing unprecedented growth in its innovative patient payment programs. Since its inception in 2004, the CarePayment® program has provided over 750,000 patients nearly $500m in financing for their healthcare expenses through its innovative, non-discriminatory program. The 33% growth in financing in 2011 can be attributed to the program meeting previously unmet demand in the complex healthcare industry by supporting the increase in healthcare consumerism and rapidly escalating patient financial responsibility.
The unique program supports patients who are unable to immediately pay hospital bills or who may otherwise choose to avoid care altogether by providing a patient-friendly financing program, allowing patients to access and afford the services they need. A recent survey of over 2,000 patients has illustrated the impact of the CarePayment® program. 93% of CarePayment® participants reported that the program has maintained or improved their overall patient experience at their hospital; 77% have reported that the program positively influences their choice of hospital.
Healthcare providers also benefit from the program as they experience improved collection rates, increased patient satisfaction, and they develop more in-depth, loyal relationships with their patients. By increasing patient collection rates, providers are then able to reinvest the additional funds in programs that will improve patient care or community health programs. In one study, Day Kimball Health System in Putnam, Connecticut saw a four-fold increase in its collection yields, adding an incremental $1m in net collections annually. In another study in a competitive Midwest market, the CarePayment® program has proven to shift market share, resulting in over $3m in additional revenue annually. "This is a very exciting time for us as we begin to measure the impact of the program and garner feedback from the market," says Allison Yazdian, Vice President of Marketing. She continued, "The overwhelming response from our clients is that the program is effective and ultimately engages patients in their healthcare by providing an affordable way to pay for the services they need."
In light of this success, CarePayment Technologies is finalizing partnerships with many progressive providers who view the program as an innovative approach to developing positive relationships with their patients. Most recently, one of the largest health systems in Florida, will begin offering the CarePayment® program to its patients in early 2012. Other notable clients added in 2011 include University of Pennsylvania Health System (PA), Holy Redeemer Health System (PA), Tri-City Medical Center (CA), and Memorial Health (MI). "This new set of partners demonstrates our applicability in different settings across the continuum of care" says Joe Siedel, Senior VP of Operations, "and provides evidence that our program builds grassroots support in each market it serves." CarePayment Technologies plans to announce several more partnerships in early 2012.
As CarePayment Technologies continues to invest in its next phase of growth, it also announced that James Quist will be stepping down as CEO but will remain actively involved in the business, as a shareholder and board member. Since Quist joined CarePayment Technologies in March of 2010, he has been instrumental in helping build the CarePayment® product into a robust suite of services. "I am proud of all that CarePayment Technologies accomplished in 2011 and look forward to celebrating its future success in 2012 and beyond. The company has a very bright future" Quist noted.
Until a permanent replacement is identified, Craig Froude has been appointed as Interim President and CEO for CarePayment Technologies. Froude is a seasoned executive having been a successful leader at a variety of technology and healthcare organizations over the past 20 years. Most recently Froude founded WellMed which delivered private portal solutions into large employers and health plans offering their members access to personalized health and benefit decision support technology ultimately helping them make more informed benefit, treatment and provider choices. After WellMed's acquisition by WebMD, Froude served as President of WebMD Health Services. One of his initial areas of focus with CarePayment Technologies will be working with the management team to create a strategic plan designed to establish a framework for revenue and margin growth through internal expansion activities and industry partnerships. "Powerful industry trends, including increasing patient responsibility for healthcare costs coupled with declining reimbursement rates for providers, creates a unique opportunity for the CarePayment solution" said Mr. Froude. "I look forward to working with the team to finalize our growth plans for 2012 and beyond."
In addition, John Meek has been appointed as interim Chief Technology Officer for CarePayment Technologies. For the past 25 years, John has served in senior technology leadership roles in rapidly growing organizations including Timberline Software and WellMed/WebMD where he designed and implemented a scalable platform utilized by tens of millions of consumers.

Bulgarian police 'abuse asylum-seekers, migrants, force them back to Turkey' – HRW
Written by Independent Balkan News Agency on January 20, 2016 in Bulgaria - Comments Off on Bulgarian police 'abuse asylum-seekers, migrants, force them back to Turkey' – HRW
Bulgarian law enforcement officials summarily return asylum seekers and migrants to Turkey, often after stealing their belongings and subjecting them to violence, Human Rights Watch (HRW) said on January 20 2016, after reporting similar allegations in April and September 2015.
In research in six countries between October and December 2015, Human Rights Watch interviewed 45 asylum seekers and migrants from Afghanistan, Syria, and Iraq who described 59 incidents of summary returns from Bulgaria to Turkey between March and November. Twenty-six people said they had been beaten by police or bitten by police dogs. All but one said they were stripped of their possessions, in some cases at gunpoint by people they described as Bulgarian law enforcement officials, then pushed back across the border to Turkey.
The HRW allegations on January 20 coincided with a report that from September to the present, Bulgaria had provided 250 000 euro in aid for refugees through various EU measures against the migration crisis This was indicated by European Commission records of contributions by member states to the EU's two trust funds for Syria and Africa as well as humanitarian aid for UN agencies.

"Covering key issues in the development of counselling psychology, this text is ideal for psychologists considering entering counselling psychology training or those who have already started on this path" Stephen Palmer, Professor of Psychology, City University. "This book provides a thorough yet accessible introduction to counselling psychology. Written in a highly engaging manner, this timely publication will undoubtedly provide an invaluable resource to all that read it" Ewan Gillon, Senior Lecturer in Counselling Psychology, Glasgow Caledonian University A Short Introduction to Counselling Psychology brings together a wide range of information on the theory and practice of counselling psychology, written through the lens of direct practitioner experience and incorporating a global perspective. The authors offer views on cutting-edge issues in counselling psychology, discussing: - the social and historical context - philosophical considerations - the professional knowledge base - training requirements and paths, careers and practice - the tasks, challenges and debates that practitioners deal with in different settings. This accessible introduction is of special interest to students considering a career in counselling psychology, and to professionals involved in the training and supervision of counselling psychologists. As both an up-to-date review of professional developments in relation to the field of counselling psychology and also more broadly, senior practitioners should welcome this resource as a reference covering all aspects of the present professional setting.


The increase in interest rates over 2013 means that the 31 December 2013 valuations of borrower derivatives such as interest rate swaps will look much healthier compared to a year ago. The global economy certainly appears to have turned a corner through 2013 and this is being reflected in financial markets expectations for future interest rates i.e. yield curves are higher. As interest rates collapsed after the onset of the GFC many borrowers took advantage of what were, at the time, historically low levels. Base interest rates i.e. ignoring credit, were compelling and borrowers increased their fixed rate hedging percentages locking in swap rates for terms out to ten years. Unfortunately, as the global economy sank further into recession, interest rates fell further than most market participants expected. Consequently, derivatives such as interest rate swaps moved further out-of-the-money creating large negative mark-to-market positions.
The unprecedented steps taken by central banks in an effort to shore up business and consumer confidence, protect/create jobs and jump start lack lustre economies pushed interest rates lower for much longer. Through 2013 the aggressive monetary policy easing undertaken since 2008 (by the US in particular) has started to show signs that the worst of the Great Recession is behind us. The Quantitative Easing experiment from the US Federal Reserve's Chairman Ben Bernanke appears to be a success (only time will confirm this). The labour market has strengthened, as well as GDP, in 2013 allowing a gradual reduction in Quantitative Easing to begin. Although the US Central Bank has been at pains to point out that the scaling back of QE does not equate to monetary policy tightening, merely marginally "less loose", the financial markets were very quick to reverse the ultra low yields that had prevailed since 2008. The US 10-year treasury yield is the benchmark that drives long end yields across every other country so when bond markets in the US started to aggressively sell bond positions, prices dropped and yields increased globally. As the charts below show all the major economies of the world now have a higher/steeper yield curve than they did a year ago reflecting expectations for the outlook for interest rates. For existing borrower derivative positions the negative mark-to-markets that have prevailed for so long are either much less out-of-the-money, or are moving into positive mark-to-market territory.
Of the seven currencies that are included in the charts below, all display increases in the mid to long end of the curve i.e. three years and beyond, to varying degrees. Japan continues to struggle having been in an economic stalemate for 15-years so the upward movement in interest rates has been muted. The other interesting point is the Australian yield curve which shows that yields at the short end are actually lower at the end of the year than they were at the start of the year. Australia managed to avoid recession after the GFC, a beneficiary of the massive stimulus undertaken by China and the ensuing demand for Australia's hard commodities. However, as China's economy subsequently slowed and commodity prices fell, the recession finally caught up with Australia and the Official Cash Rate (OCR) has been slashed in 2013, hence short-term rates are lower than where they started the year.
As 31 December 2013 Financial Statements are completed there will be many CFOs relieved to see the turning of the tide in regards to the revaluation of borrower derivatives.

Home Sports News Cricket News Allan Border lashes out at Cheteshwar Pujara for defensive approach with the bat on Day 3
Former Australian skipper Allan Border has claimed that Cheteshwar Pujara was almost scared to play a shot on Day 3 of the third Test match at the Sydney Cricket Ground.
The number three batsman registered his slowest half-century in Test cricket on Saturday and Border feels the reason behind it was that the Indian batsman was playing to survive rather than keep the scoreboard moving.
'He's almost scared': Allan Border
"He's almost scared to play a shot, isn't he? He's playing to survive rather than looking to score," Fox Sports quoted Border as saying.
At the same time, the 1987 World Cup winner also went on to say that the Indian Test specialist has not had quite the same impact as he had during India's last visit Down Under in the 2018/19 season.
"He's not had quite the same impact this series (as 2018-19) in that he's taken so long to score his runs, it's like he's stagnated at the crease and it has had a bit of a ripple effect through the Indian batting. They can't seem to get on top of Australia's bowling," the cricketer-turned-cricket pundit added.
Cheteshwar Pujara in 2018/19 Australia series
Pujara was the batting mainstay when the two sides locked horns Down Under in the 2018-19 season. The number three Test batsman had played a crucial role in Team India's 2-1 (four-match series) where he had amassed 521 runs in eight innings and had breached the three-figure mark thrice.
This was India's first-ever Test series win on Australian soil.

Can Pujara make an impact in the second innings?
The Aussies in their second innings are 103/2 with two of their famed top-order batsmen Steve Smith (29*) and Marnus Labuschagne (47*) going strong. The hosts now have a lead of 197 runs after the end of play on Day 3.
The visitors will now be hoping to restrict Australia to a manageable total on Day 4 as the SCG Test reaches its business end.
Meanwhile, Cheteshwar Pujara will be hoping to play an impactful knock during India's run-chase and make amends for his 176-ball 50 in the first innings.

If the symptoms or complications of your pancreatitis prevent you from working and earning a living, you might be eligible for disability benefits that will help you make ends meet. These benefits could include Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI).
The disability lawyers from Berger and Green know how to get Social Security Disability for pancreatitis in Pittsburgh. We can review your application before you file your claim, and we will help you navigate the appeals process if the Social Security Administration (SSA) denied you for benefits. Call us today at 412-661-1400 for your complimentary consultation.
The SSA publishes a listing of impairments and the criteria you must meet to get benefits based on that impairment. Known as the Blue Book, this publication includes many different conditions for getting benefits based on a medical impairment. However, there is not a specific listing for pancreatitis.
To get benefits based on your pancreatitis complications, you will need to look for a listing specific to the symptoms your condition causes.
If you have diabetes because of your chronic pancreatitis, you might meet the criteria for benefits under Section 9.00 – Endocrine Disorders. This section outlines the qualifications and describes how the SSA will determine if you meet the criteria for benefits.
Pancreatitis can cause malabsorption problems, and people often experience severe weight loss. If you suffer from uncontrolled weight loss, you could meet the criteria in Section 5.08 – Weight Loss Due to any Digestive Disorder. To qualify under this listing, you must have a body mass index of 17.50 or below. This result must have shown up twice in tests that were conducted at least two months apart but within a six-month period.
We recommend discussing your claim with your doctor before you file it. Getting your doctor to help with your disability case is the best way to ensure you have the medical evidence you need in your file.
If the SSA determines you cannot work your current job or any other job you might qualify for, you will likely get approved for benefits.
The SSA can ask you to attend a consultative exam with another doctor at their expense.
Before the claims representative at your local Social Security field office ever forwards your application to the Office of Disability Determination Services, they will check to ensure you meet the technical qualifications of the SSDI or SSI program.
Each program has its own technical qualifications. Not meeting these criteria will result in a technical denial. Your application will not move forward, and you will have to appeal or reapply to get benefits.
Income or assets that do not meet the requirements for SSI.
The SSA denies many of the claims it receives. Most people who get benefits do so by appealing the decision on their case. This creates a backlog of appeals. While you only have 60 days to request an appeals hearing, it could take a year or more before the date of your hearing arrives and you get a decision for disability.
Presenting a case that shows why you deserve benefits.
If we can present a winning case to the Administrative Law Judge, they may overturn your denial and approve you for benefits. You might qualify for back pay for the time you waited for approval, and retroactive benefits for the time you could not work before you applied for SSDI.
The disability team from Berger and Green can evaluate your case for free and help you understand why the SSA denied your claim. We will walk with you through the appeals process and fight for the benefits you need.
If you suffer from a debilitating impairment because of someone else's negligence, we might even be able to file a personal injury lawsuit on your behalf.

Should Christians support a minimum wage increase?
By Rebekah Jordan Gienapp
Bigstock / Gustavo Frazao
Historic minimum wage increases
In April, the governors of both California and New York signed legislation that will eventually increase their states' minimum wage rates to $15 per hour. In California, the current minimum wage is $10 per hour. Under the new law, it will increase to $10.50 in 2017, then to $11 in 2018, and increase by $1 annually until it reaches $15 per hour in 2022. Businesses that have less than 26 employees will have an additional year to raise their wages. The law allows the governor to delay increases by one year in case of economic changes. If there are no pauses in implementation, the minimum wage would increase each year based on the rate of inflation beginning in 2024.
In New York State, the minimum wage will increase to $15 per hour by 2018 in New York City. Increases in other areas of the state (including in wealthy suburbs of New York City) will be implemented more slowly.
Proponents of the increases have stated there's a moral imperative to raise wages for the lowest-paid workers, particularly in the face of high housing costs and large economic disparities between the wealthy and poor. The Reverend Art Gramaje of St. Anthony Mary Claret Catholic Church in Fresno, California, supports the increase because of his belief that "the economy should serve the people — not the other way around. If wages are low and people are exploited, it serves the economy but not the people."
Some business associations have predicted that employers affected by the increase will reduce the number of jobs or move to other states with lower minimum wages. "A raise of this magnitude this quickly represents a devastating blow to California's businesses and employers," said Nathan Ahle, president of the Fresno Chamber of Commerce.
Workers affected by the increases
At first glance, $15 per hour may sound like a high wage; however, it's important to note that California's mandated wage will not reach $15 until 2022. The cost of living in some California cities is among the highest in the nation. For example, the cost of living in Los Angeles is about 40 percent higher than the average for our country. According to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's living wage calculator, an adult with one child living in Stanislaus County, California (where the cost of living is close to the national average), would need to earn $22.52 to cover basic needs such as housing, food, transportation, medical and child care. Holly Dias, a cashier at a Burger King in Sacramento, California, says that on her current $10 an hour wage, "there are days where I have to choose between buying formula or diapers, paying rent or buying monthly bus passes — these are choices mothers shouldn't have to make."
Who are the workers who will be affected by minimum wage increases? Most aren't teenagers, research shows. Analysis by the Economic Policy Institute of workers who earn less than $10.10 per hour nationwide finds that only 12.5 percent of these workers are younger than 20 years old, and more than one third of them are between ages 30–54. We often think of minimum wage jobs as ones that are held temporarily. According to Ben Casselman of the website FiveThirtyEight, in the mid-1990's "only 1 in 5 minimum wage workers was still earning minimum wage a year later. Today, that number is nearly 1 in 3."
Economists have estimated that California's new law alone will increase the pay of 5.6 million workers, nearly one in three across the state. Economists' predictions about the impact of the raises have been mixed. David Neumark, economics professor at the University of California, Irvine, estimates that the raise will reduce employment among the lowest skilled workers by 5–10 percent. He states though that "there's no question that a minimum wage increase will help more people than it hurts. But it takes a lot of people getting a $300 raise to offset someone losing their job." Economics professor Michael Reich of the University of California, Berkeley believes that the increase will have minimal effect on jobs, and this "would be more than offset by increases in consumer purchasing power."
Workers in other states
Groups who advocate for low-wage workers think that California and New York's actions will prompt other states to take up more substantial minimum wage increases than have occurred in the past. Legislatures in New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts and Washington, DC are all considering a raise to a $15 minimum wage.
How was the figure of $15 per hour first proposed? In 2012, the Fight for $15 campaign was launched by fast-food workers in New York City. Strikes by workers and rallies with supporters from their communities spread to other cities; and eventually Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles and Pasadena all passed ordinances to raise their city's minimum wage to $15, creating momentum that led to the statewide laws in California and New York.
What about workers who don't live in these areas? 29 states have a minimum wage that's higher than the federal standard of $7.25 per hour. The current political climate in most of the state legislatures of the remaining 21 states makes it unlikely that state minimum wage increases would be passed. In 2014, President Obama announced in his State of the Union address that he wanted to see the federal minimum wage raised to $10.10 per hour, but Congressional Democrats were unable to get the measure passed. Presidential candidate Bernie Sanders supports raising the federal minimum wage to $15 per hour. Hillary Clinton supports a raise to $12 per hour and encourages states that want to raise their minimums to $15 to do so. Candidates Ted Cruz and Donald Trump have said in debates that they do not favor raising the minimum wage.
Faith and fair wages
In the late 1980's, theology professor and United Methodist pastor Douglas Meeks wrote a book whose title some might find odd: God the Economist: The Doctrine of God and Political Economy. Meeks wrote that though an economist today is considered someone who is a scientist in his or her approach, the word economy is actually an ancient one that's derived from two Greek words that mean "household" and "management." An economist is one who manages the affairs of the household. Meeks writes that modern economics is rooted in the assumption that goods are scarce, that there will never be enough because humans will always want more. God as economist, he writes, "constructs the household with a radically different assumption: If the righteousness of God is present, there is always enough to go around." Scripture shows us that God's abundance can be shared over and over through stories such as the appearance of the manna in the desert and the meal of a few loaves and fishes that Jesus used to feed more than 5,000 people.
Faithful economics asks us to measure the health of our society — and our world — by how the most vulnerable are faring. An economy that requires workers to toil long hours while not earning enough to pay for basic necessities is one in need of healing. Prophets such as Malachi deliver God's judgment not only on sorcerers and adulterers, but also on "those who cheat the day laborers out of their wages as well as oppress the widow and the orphan, and against those who brush aside the foreigner" (Malachi 3:5).
As we discuss the minimum wage, practical matters must of course be considered. It's necessary, though, for people of faith to begin with the question, What does God's righteousness ask of us?

Ted Cruz Attempts Redemption, Crushes FBI Wench at Hearing Regarding 1/6 Violence
Andrew Anglin January 12, 2022
To truly understand what happened on January 6, you have to have played through all 5 Metal Gear Solid games.
Ted "Bread" Cruz had a bad week last week. He referred to the 1/6 event as a terrorist attack, then got called out by Tucker Carlson, then went on Tucker Carlson's show the next day and began babbling incoherent nonsense (literally defended calling 1/6 Trump supporters terrorists by trying to invoke the population's hatred of black people).
Yesterday, I used a dumb choice of words and unfortunately a lot of people are misunderstanding what I meant. pic.twitter.com/vWCjFnA4t3
— Ted Cruz (@tedcruz) January 7, 2022
This week, however, we must admit that he killed it at a Senate hearing with some stupid bitch from the FBI.
That bitch's name? Jill Sanborn.
She's a "counter-terrorism" official who was involved in the entire Atomwaffen hoax.
See how this all ties together?
Anyway – criticisms of Cruz still stand, I have nothing but loathing for him. But he did wreck this bitch.
It's clear the DOJ had some role in the events of January 6 pic.twitter.com/aR8SaiNZoU

Senator @tedcruz's Full Questioning Of The FBI At Senate Judiciary Hearing Today About Whether There Were FBI Informants Present On January 6th And Ray Epps
"How many FBI agents or confidential informants actively participated in the events of January 6th?"
"Who is Ray Epps?" pic.twitter.com/Haufq3kym2
— The Columbia Bugle 🇺🇸 (@ColumbiaBugle) January 11, 2022
Cruz asked her a series of questions about the involvement of the FBI or confidential informants on January 6, including repeatedly asking about whether or not they committed violence.
"My question to you -- and this is not an ordinary law enforcement question, this is a question of public accountability — did federal agents or those in service of federal agents actively encourage violent and criminal conduct on Jan. 6?" he asked.
Sanborn responded by saying she couldn't disclose "sources and methods."
"Ms. Sanborn, was Ray Epps a fed?" asked Cruz after stating that Epps was captured on video the night of Jan. 5, 2021 rousing people to "get into the Capitol."
"Sir, I cannot answer that question," replied Sanborn, who added that she was "aware of the individual," but didn't have "specific background" on him.
Cruz went on and stated that on Jan. 6, Epps was seen talking to rioters moments before they ripped down police barricades outside the Capitol.
Sanborn responded that she couldn't answer whether Epps urged them to knock down the barricades.
Cruz then noted that Epps initially appeared on a poster issued by the FBI seeking information about people connected to criminal activity on Jan. 6, but was absent from another FBI "seeking information" poster distributed July 1.
"Magically, Mr. Epps disappeared from the public posting," he said. "According to public records, Mr. Epps has not been charged with anything. No one's explained why a person videoed urging people to go to the Capitol, a person whose conduct was so suspect the crowd believed he was a fed, would magically disappear from the list of people the FBI was looking at."
Just for anyone who doesn't remember – this is the video we have all been spamming of Ray Epps, a member of the Oath Keepers, announcing on the night of January 5 that he was going to lead people inside of the Capitol, and then organizing people to rush the Capitol after Trump's speech on January 6.
How many January 6th protesters were actually working for the federal government? In October, I asked AG Garland while he was under oath and he refused to answer. He looked very nervous and worried when I showed him this video in that hearing.pic.twitter.com/lvd9n4mMHK
— Thomas Massie (@RepThomasMassie) December 30, 2021
(If you are missing the details of all this and want more of them, you can go try to find old articles on this website, or just read the Revolver.News piece on Epps.)
After the FBI counterterrorism official couldn't answer whether Epps is a fed under oath, the January 6 committee confirmed on Twitter that he is definitely not a fed – for sure.
The Committee has interviewed Epps. Epps informed us that he was not employed by, working with, or acting at the direction of any law enforcement agency on Jan 5th or 6th or at any other time, & that he has never been an informant for the FBI or any other law enforcement agency.
— January 6th Committee (@January6thCmte) January 11, 2022
The January 6 Committee account, we should note, was not under oath when they tweeted that.
They are refusing to give any details about the interview. It is just abject lunacy that there are people locked up for standing outside the Capitol – many of them Oath Keepers who were done up on "conspiracy" charges just because they were members of the Oath Keepers – whilst the only Oath Keeper on video actively encouraging violence is cleared of any crime.
Adam Kinzinger – a member of the committee, who is also not under oath while tweeting – posted an entire thread about the Cruz-Sanborn exchange.
2) He was on video the day before Jan 6 saying "we're going INTO the capitol!" The some in the crowd chanted "fed fed fed." Why? Who knows, maybe they knew he was videoed talking about breaking into the Capitol the day before it was to happen and wanted to create distance?
— Adam Kinzinger (@AdamKinzinger) January 11, 2022
4) He didn't enter the Capitol on Jan 6, and was removed from the most wanted list because apparently he broke no laws. I'm pretty sure the FBI wouldn't be dumb enough to put their own agent on a wanted list. Ray Epps has cooperated with the Jan 6 committee and we thank him
6) An FBI informant is someone that is paid by or turned by law enforcement as they build broader cases. Informants are usually criminals that turn to save their own butt. An informant is not an agent. But Ted wants you to think it is. RAY is NO informant either.
While it may break hearts, it's true. So many are misled by so few. Just look up.
Thomas Massie, who is one of the very few (like, 4) legitimate members of Congress, pointed out the lunacy of these tweets.
So now the @January6thCmte thinks it's fine to encourage, organize, and direct people to go into the Capitol? Hmmm, Thanks for clearing that up @RepKinzinger. pic.twitter.com/3h5xq29yVI
— Thomas Massie (@RepThomasMassie) January 11, 2022
This is supposed to be some kind of criminal investigation into the biggest conspiracy in all of history that the Committee is conducting. Ray Epps gives the lie to all of it. The whole thing was a sham, just like Charlottesville – it was a setup from the beginning.
Epps is Just the Obvious Fed
I've actually seen some people whining about how too much emphasis is being put on Ray Epps.
That is stupid.
The emphasis is on Epps because Epps is the obvious fed on video organizing the entry into the Capitol, which now serves as the basis of our entire paradigm of government.
The reason he is important is that he is the most obvious.
Other top issues (abridged):
The police were pulled from the Capitol – the main excuse given was that they were busy investigating a pipe bomb hoax (which the media has completely stopped talking about)
Trump tried to call in the National Guard for the event, and his request was blocked by both Nancy Pelosi and Mayor Bowser
There were other obvious agitators in the crowd, none of whom have been identified and arrested, while boomers who took selfies are being tortured in a special political prison
The Proud Boys leader is a confirmed FBI informant, and Proud Boys are the ones filmed knocking out windows, and
Biggest of all – the police literally opened the doors of the Capitol building, and waved people in – people walked in, single file
The entire thing was planned from the beginning. Full stop. It was a staged event.
Obviously, there was genuine anger and so on, but the overwhelming majority of normal people at the event would not have committed violence and did not commit violence. And the overwhelming majority of people who entered the Capitol did so because they were waved in by the cops.
Watch the video one more time – the police literally opened the doors and welcomed people inside. The people walked in single file.
Capitol Police open doors on January 6. Who gave the stand down order? pic.twitter.com/F8tASVA32E
— IMPACT USA 🇺🇸🍊 (@impactusa8) June 15, 2021
Those are the people rotting in jail, those are the people being targeted as terrorists. People who were invited to do something by the police. In the universe of my life, when a uniformed police officer invites you to do something, it isn't illegal.
Most of the people charged with crimes did not even know they were committing a crime, and most of the people who did know they were committing crimes have not been charged.
All of those charged with the highest charges – which is "conspiracy" (not insurrection or sedition or whatever) – are being charged because they were members of either the Proud Boys, the Oath Keepers, or the 3%ers. All three of those groups were swarming with feds, and they were the only ones with any kind of organization at the event.
I think some people are trying to say like "oh, you're just going to say the whole thing was fake and people weren't really angry and it was just Ray Epps who convinced them all." But that isn't the argument. Obviously, there was legitimate and well deserved anger among the masses of people at the event.
But the reality is: it would have been nothing to keep them from entering the Capitol building, and the only reason they did enter the Capitol building was because there was a pre-planned conspiracy by the FBI to encourage them to enter the Capitol building – so that they can do what they are doing now: organize a gigantic post-911 style "war on terror" against normal white people.
The only valid argument against talking about Ray Epps is that it isn't going to make any difference. They don't care that you know they're lying and they're not going to change their course based on the fact that you know they're lying, and there is literally nothing you can do about it.
They already organized a new "Domestic Terrorism Unit."
"Our New department for domestic terrorism"
"You mean domestic counterterrorism…?"
*darting eyes* "yes, yes of course."
They are not going to give any information about Ray Epps or answer any of the other questions, they are instead just going to target all normal conservative white people as terrorists.
So, I can understand the argument of "it doesn't even matter, bro."
But that kind of goes for everything we talk about on this site, doesn't it?
I'm here to give an account of the truth of what is happening in this time of insurmountable lies and hoaxes. None of what is going to happen over the next decade can be altered at this point. We're basically dealing with Hari Seldon's Psychohistory. The way these events are going to play out is just math.
The only reason that understanding any of this matters is because you are able to make personal decisions based on what you know about the way the world works, the way the deck is stacked and the dominos are lined up, and what it necessarily means is going to happen next.
The one thing I have told you is this: you do not want to be in one of these major urban centers in the Western world in the coming months and years. You do not want to join some kind of group and try to change the course of things. You want to get out of the city, and join a rural community, where you and your family will have a chance of surviving what is going to happen next.
That is the one singular thing you can do at this point.
You cannot fight the system.
You're not going to vote your way out of this (although you should absolutely be active in local elections in your rural community).
This thing is locked in. What is going to happen is going to happen. These people are going to go completely apeshit with the vaccines, the anti-white witch-hunt, and with the geopolitical lunacy. It is going to get more insane than any of you can currently imagine.
And then, maybe when you least expect it, it is going to end.
If there is one thing I am more certain of than anything on this earth, it is that this system will not last forever.
This is all about you and your personal decisions, and if you decide that you want to maximize the chances that you, your children, and your children's children will have a part in the society that will come after this one finally ends.
We can see the light at the end of the tunnel. There is a whole new world of light and beauty waiting for us on the other side of this darkness.

Empowering Youth to Obtain High-Quality Education
On October 11, PMCG awarded students with scholarships to continue their studies in Master's programs at the International School of Economics at Tbilisi State University (ISET).
PMCG has been supporting youth in this way for four years now, helping them to obtain high-quality education by providing needs-based scholarships.
"We strongly believe that the progress of the country depends on well-educated young people and we are glad that we have an opportunity to make a small contribution," explained David Lezhava, Public Policy Sector Director at PMCG, during the awarding ceremony.
ISET was chosen as it is one of the leading economic schools in the region, meeting international academic standards. For the scholarships, three students who had demonstrated the strongest academic results and shown exceptional drive in their studies were chosen.
At the awarding ceremony, Mr. David Lezhava shared some insights from his diverse work experience, which includes working at the National Bank of Georgia, the International Monetary Fund, the Ministry of Finance of Georgia and PMCG, and he also gave some practical advice to the students.

Q: Grails Command Objects custom Validate Message Codes When using command objects like:
class UserCommand {

   String name

   static constraints = {
      name blank: false, unique: true, minSize: 3
   }
}

you can use them to validate objects without making them persistent. In my case I would validate for a persistent class User.
In controller:
def save(UserCommand cmd) {
  if(!cmd.validate()) {
      render view: "create", model: [user: cmd]
  return
  }
  def user = new User()
  user.name = cmd.name
  user.save()

  redirect uri: '/'

}

in messages.properties:
user.username.minSize.error=Please enter at least three characters.
userCommand.username.minSize.error=Please enter at least three characters.

When using custom validation messages you have to write the message codes for each error twice. One for the User class and another for the UserCommand class.
Is there a way how I can have only one message code for each error?

A: I might be wrong here but if you're using just the stock Grails constraints, the only way to share a validation message is to simply rely on the default.x.x.message key/values in messages.properties. Otherwise messages are looked up via the following key form:
className.propertyName.errorcode...=

You can however use a custom validator and override what message key gets returned for the validation error.
class User {
  ...

  static constraints = {
    ...
    name blank: false, unique: true, validator: { value, user ->
      if(!value || value.length() < 3)
        return 'what.ever.key.in.messages.properties'
    }
  }
}

Then you can keep it all DRY by sharing constraints between classes via a global constraint or as @dmahapatro mentioned, with the use of an importFrom in your UserCommand like so,
class UserCommand {
 ...
 static constraints = {
   importFrom User
   ...
  }
}

If you have more complicated validation, you can create your own constraints classes. Here are some resources:
http://www.zorched.net/2008/01/25/build-a-custom-validator-in-grails-with-a-plugin/
http://blog.swwomm.com/2011/02/custom-grails-constraints.html

A: *

*using unique constraint in CommandObject makes no sense, because uniqueness of what would it check?

*you can validate domain objects without persisting them exactly the same way as command objects - using validate() method

*you can put a User object in command object, set constraints only for the domain class, and then validate User object being a part of command object
class User {
    String name
    static constraints = {
        name blank: false, unique: true, minSize: 3
    }
}

class UserCommand {
    User user
    static constraints = {
        user validator: { it.validate() }
    }
}

user.username.minSize.error=Please enter at least three characters.

Here in Southern California, there's only one place to engage in full-on tree hugging and forest bathing therapy: the mountains! Nature-lovers swear by the therapeutic effects of trees. The forest bathing movement is gaining popularity from Japan to Hollywood.
Big Bear – Known as the "big daddy" of Southern California's mountain destinations, Big Bear is at highest elevation, there forgetting the most snow and the most visitors. Nevertheless, once out of the populated areas like Big Bear Village,nature-lovers can find plenty of trees to hug in seclusion. Try visiting the Big Bear Zoo and surrounded areas. Also a visit to Baldwin Lake Stables will get you a twofer: animals and nature! Go horseback riding and stop at the peak of the Pacific Crest Trail for fantastic views (and forests to bathe in.
Lake Arrowhead – Lake Arrowhead has plenty of tourist hot spots but also boasts nature trails for those who need an escape from the city and crowds. Visit the forest areas behind the Pine Rose Cabins, located just outside of Lake Arrowhead Village. Strawberry Peak is a popular hiking spot for those who want to reach the lookout at the top and do some tree hugging along the way.
Crestline and Sky forest – Located just south of Lake Arrowhead, Crestline and Sky forest are great options for a walk in the woods. Also home to Lake Gregory, forest-bathers can fit in some tree hugging with lake views.
Wrightwood – A less populated mountain town and an easy drive from SoCal's cities, Wrightwood provides plenty of private tree-hugging opportunities from fall to winter to spring. Stop by Mountain High Ski Resort and next-door you'll find the Blue Ridge trail located along the Pacific Crest Trail. This is an easy walkable trail for families surrounded by plenty of lovely woods. There's also a nature trail directly across the street from Mountain High entrance which provides a simple 1-mile loop perfect for little kids who want to become one with nature.
Find yourself a quiet park, forest, or woodland area.
Walk among the trees until you feel comfortable in their presence.
Feel the different bark textures with the palms of your hands.
Smell the scent of the various woods.
Absorb their life's energies as you look upwards to the sprawling branches overhead.
Find the perfect tree that fits your mood. You will know which one is right for you.
Speak softly to the tree verbally or communicate with it using telepathy.
Vertical Tree Hug: Encircle it with your arms while gently pressing your cheek to the trunk being careful not to scratch your face. Squeeze tightly. Sigh deeply. Be one with your tree.
Full Body Tree Hug: Sit upon the ground wrapping your legs around the base of the tree and at the same time embracing it with your arms.
Up in the Air Tree Hug: Climb a tree. Sit upon a strong limb and straddle it with your legs. Bend forward and place your belly against it while wrapping your arms around it.
Feel free to hug more than one tree if the mood strikes. Besides, other trees might get jealous.
You may like to take home a fallen leaf or nut as a keepsake from your new friend.
Be sure to return each season to visit your tree.
Trees are good listeners so feel free to talk to them.

The menisci are important structures that provide the knee with cushioning. There are 2 menisci, which are both shaped like the letter C. There is the medial meniscus, which is on the inner side of the knee. The lateral meniscus is the meniscus that is on the outer side of the knee. The menisci act as cushions to absorb stress within the knee and protect the articular cartilage, which is designed to reduce grinding between the knee bones.
What parts of the knee are affected by a torn meniscus?
The articular cartilage, which is present on the thigh bone (femur) and shin bone (tibia), is protected by both the medial and lateral menisci. The articular cartilage allows the bones of the knee to fluidly move without grinding against one another. The majority of each meniscus does not have blood flow, but the outer rim of the meniscus does receive a small amount of blood flow. The areas of the menisci with no blood flow may be referred to as the white zone. The red zone denotes the small portion of the meniscus that does receive blood flow. The portion where the red and white zone meet may be aptly referred to as the red-white zone. This is the portion of the meniscus that receives an even smaller amount of blood flow than the red zone. A meniscus tear on the outer edge of the meniscus may be able to heal on its own, but for patients with a meniscus tear towards the center of the meniscus, torn meniscus surgery may be required.
What can Dr. Rozbruch achieve with knee meniscus surgery?
Dr. Rozbruch can help repair a torn meniscus with knee meniscus surgery. The menisci are very important structures within the knee that help to absorb stress and allow for knee stability. A meniscus tear may cause the knee to become loose or less stable. Without healthy menisci, you may be more prone to developing knee osteoarthritis. If you are experiencing torn meniscus symptoms, there is a possibility that your meniscus tear might worsen without medical attention. The main goal of torn meniscus surgery is to repair and preserve as much of the meniscus as possible. If a portion of the meniscus must be removed, Dr. Rozbruch will attempt to take only the smallest section of damaged tissue away, preserving as much of the healthy tissue as possible.
Common symptoms of a meniscus tear include inflammation and pain within the knee. You may also experience a catching, locking, or popping sensation within the knee after a meniscus tear. Another torn meniscus symptom may be limited knee mobility due to the knee locking in place. This may occur if a flap of tissue has developed from the torn meniscus. This formation of tissue may become ensnared in the joint of the knee as you bend it, which can cause the knee to lock in place. In some cases, a meniscus tear procedure is needed immediately to fix this torn meniscus symptom. The whole meniscus will only be removed if the entire meniscus was damaged beyond repair. This is reserved for only the most severe cases of a torn meniscus, as knee surgeons will always attempt to preserve as much of the menisci as possible.
What can I expect before meniscus tear surgery?
Prior to meniscus tear surgery, Dr. Rozbruch may suggest a physical examination with your family doctor to ensure that you are a proper candidate to undergo torn meniscus surgery. Before your knee surgery, you may also meet with your physical therapist, who you will be working with as you recover from torn meniscus repair. Your physical therapist may show you certain exercises that you can expect to perform as you heal from torn meniscus surgery. This pre-operative meeting with your physical therapist can also be used to collect information on your current knee health and mobility. Your physical therapist may take note of any pain, swelling, stiffness, or lack of mobility to use as a comparison as you recover from knee surgery. You may also be shown how to walk with crutches during this meeting so that you are prepared to use them following your meniscus tear procedure.
What can I expect during torn meniscus surgery?
Torn meniscus surgery is performed through an arthroscope, which has a small camera on the end of a tube. This tube can be inserted into a small incision within the knee. The images gained from the arthroscope will be displayed on a monitor within the operating room, allowing Dr. Rozbruch a live view of the internal knee. Torn meniscus surgery is performed under general anesthesia for comfort, which means you will be asleep during the meniscus tear procedure. Once you are properly sedated, Dr. Rozbruch will make 2-3 very small incisions in the knee. The arthroscope and surgical instruments can be placed through these small incisions. Some common torn meniscus surgeries include partial meniscectomy, meniscus repair with sutures, and suture anchor meniscus repair.
If a damaged portion of the meniscus is being surgically removed, the procedure is known as a partial meniscectomy. Once the arthroscope has been placed, a small probe will be inserted into another incision. The meniscus and knee will be thoroughly examined at this point of your partial meniscectomy. When Dr. Rozbruch locates a tear in the meniscus, he will insert surgical instruments through another incision and remove the damaged portion. After removing the torn section of the meniscus, Dr. Rozbruch will probe the knee again to ensure that all unhealthy portions have been removed. A solution may be used to wash away any debris from the injury or surgery out of the meniscus and knee joint. To end your partial meniscectomy, the small external incisions will be closed with sutures.
As with partial meniscectomy, Dr. Rozbruch will begin your meniscus repair with sutures by making 2-3 small incisions. Then he will probe the knee until finding the section of the meniscus which has been torn. The probe will then be used to place the torn edges of the meniscus together. A surgical tool will be used to roughen the edges of the meniscus tear. A thin tube known as a cannula is then inserted through one of the incisions. A suture will be threaded through the cannula and the knee joint. The sutures are then carefully sewn through the cannula into the meniscus, bringing the two edges of the meniscus tear together. The sutures are then secured with knots.
Similar to meniscus repair with sutures, suture anchor repair for a torn meniscus involves bringing the edges of the tear together and connecting them with suture anchors. Suture anchors, a special type of medical fasteners, can anchor the torn edges of the meniscus closer to one another. These sutures will slowly be broken down and absorbed by the body as your meniscus heals. Suture anchors may be recommended for younger patients who have a single meniscus tear near the red zone of the meniscus. Typically 1-3 suture anchors are required to repair a torn meniscus.
What can I expect after a meniscus tear procedure?
Following torn meniscus knee surgery, most patients are able to return home the same day. Surgical strips are applied to the small incisions, and the entire knee is gently bandaged. You must walk with crutches following torn meniscus surgery as to not injure your healing knee. Crutches may only be needed for a few days, depending on which meniscus tear surgery you undergo. More weight may be able to be placed on the healing leg approximately 1 month after knee surgery. In this time, a knee brace may be worn to protect the knee and avoid stress.
How long does it take to recover from torn meniscus surgery?
Full recovery from torn meniscus surgery may take up to 3 months. Your recovery will depend greatly on what meniscus tear surgery you underwent. Patients who had a minor tear corrected through partial meniscectomy will not require physical therapy in the majority of cases. For more severe cases or meniscus tear surgeries, physical therapy may be required to exercise the knee and legs. Initial physical therapy sessions following meniscus repair are designed to help reduce inflammation or pain within the knee. For 6 weeks following torn meniscus surgery, you should not bend the knee more than 90 degrees. Squatting should also be avoided for 3-4 months following knee surgery. Furthermore, running, jumping, or activities that put a large amount of strain on the knee should not be resumed until 6 months. It is important to follow Dr. Rozbruch's suggestions on when to resume certain activities.
Your physical therapist will prompt you to begin light exercises following torn meniscus knee surgery. The first type of exercises you will do will mainly be helping to promote a proper range of motion and mobility in the knee. As your knee heals, the exercises will slowly get more involved. Strength exercises will be added to improve the strength and control of your leg muscles. As your physical therapy sessions end, your physical therapist may provide you with a list of knee and leg exercises that you can do at home to reduce the possibility of a future knee injury.
How can I learn more about a torn meniscus?
To learn more about a torn meniscus or torn meniscus surgery, please request an appointment online or call Dr. Rozbruch's orthopedic office in NYC at 212-744-9857. Prior to an office visit, please fill out Dr. Rozbruch's patient forms to expedite your first visit.

Billy Horschel is more famous than Jason Day and Rickie Fowler, and other questionable items from ESPN study
By Joel Beall
The Internet loves itself some lists. "The Top 15 Cities You HAVE To Visit Before You're 35?" Click. "The 10 Best Summer Drink Recipes?" Don't mind if I do. "The Ultimate Ranking of Cats That Look Like Teddy Roosevelt?" I'm not NOT going to check this out.
Sure, these lists are contrived, but it beats the hell out of spending my time at the office doing, you know, work. So of course I immediately clicked on ESPN's new World Fame ranking. After a few minutes of perusing, I came to two incontrovertible findings:
What's the basis for this criticism, you ask? Simple -- according to this ranking, Billy Horschel is more famous than Jason Day and Rickie Fowler.
(Pause)
I say this as a fan of Billy Ho, who has a sharp wit and doesn't hesitate speaking his mind. To this point, his career has been encapsulated by a three-week stretch in 2014. He has just one top-10 finish in a major, and hasn't played in a Ryder or Presidents Cup. While fans know the name, they likely wouldn't recognize his face outside the confines of a golf tournament.
Day, on the other hand, has arguably been the most dominant athlete in the world the past year. You see him on commercials and on the sidelines of other sporting events. How famous is Jason Day? You know his kid's name. THAT famous.
As for Fowler, one could surmise from the looks of a PGA Tour gallery that Fowler is more popular than Day, especially with the younger crowd. Watch to see how many 15-year-olds are dressed like Fowler this week at the Memorial. Then look to see how many are dressed like Horschel, if there are any.
Of course, sometimes these lists are purposefully gamed to get people arguing. How else do you explain Derrick Rose ranking higher than Steph Curry, or Andy Dalton above...well, anybody?
Nevertheless, when a "sports fame" ranking is published, there are certain golfers we expect on the list. And Billy Horschel isn't one of them.

Obama Carries Oregon
By The Skanner News
Barack Obama won a healthy victory over Hillary Clinton in Oregon, and is projected to take 30 of 52 pledged delegates in the state. Clinton also won handily in Kentucky, but it didn't give her enough delegates to secure a chance of winning the nomination.
Clinton has vowed to continue the fight through the last primaries in early June _ determination which was cheered on by a group of female supporters from the WomenCount political action committee who took out a full-page ad in The New York Times urging her not to give up.
After Tuesday's primaries, Obama has 1,961 out of 2,026 needed to secure the nomination; Clinton has 1,777.
But despite an almost sure victory, former Sen. Tom Daschle, a key Obama adviser, urged Democrats to unite behind Obama, bringing the marathon primary contest to an end so that the party could focus on the November general election battle against presumptive Republican nominee John McCain.
Democrats have worried that the prolonged, and frequently combative, primary campaign will undermine the party's chances of recapturing the White House from the Republicans.
"We want to begin the process of bringing this party together, and I think that over the last few weeks we've seen indications at virtually all levels in both campaigns that there's a desire to do that," Daschle told CBS's "The Early Show" on Tuesday. "That doesn't mean we're going to do it tomorrow or the next day, but clearly there is a desire to unify."
Clinton was favored to win by a large margin in Kentucky as voters cast their ballots there, while Obama was expected to take Oregon.
The Illinois senator's campaign is touting the milestone as a big step toward ending the epic nomination battle with Clinton.
Having a majority of delegates elected in state primaries and caucuses could help Obama's case with undecided superdelegates _ the party insiders who are not tied to primary or caucus results _ to pick up the pace of their endorsements. Superdelegate support is crucial because neither candidate will have enough delegates from the remaining primaries to clinch the nomination without them.
Obama added another superdelegate to his column Tuesday, Guam congressional delegate Madeleine Bordallo. Of the nearly 800 superdelegates, about a quarter of them have not declared support for either candidate.
Including superdelegates, Obama had 1,917 delegates to Clinton's 1,721 going into Tuesday's primaries in which 103 delegates were at stake.
McCain has already been targeting Obama in his campaign speeches as his likely opponent in the November election. On Monday the longtime Arizona senator accused Obama of inexperience and reckless judgment for saying Iran does not pose the same serious threat to the United States as the Soviet Union did in its day.
Obama has been increasingly presenting himself as the nominee as he looks ahead to the battleground swing states in the general election. On Tuesday night, he planned to hold a rally in Iowa, where he won the leadoff caucuses in early January.
Of the nearly 800 superdelegates, about a quarter of them have not declared support for either candidate.
Clinton has mounting campaign debts, but she vowed there was "no way that this is going to end anytime soon" as she campaigned Monday in Kentucky.
The New York senator soldiered on through event after event, ending her night Monday in Louisville before a crowd of several hundred, her voice raspy.
"There are a lot of people who wanted to end this election before you had a chance to vote," she said, husband and former President Bill Clinton at her side. "I'm ready to go to bat for you if you'll come out and vote for me."
Obama, seeking to become the first Black U.S. president, won the endorsement of Sen. Robert Byrd of West Virginia, the longest-serving senator in history and a former member of the white supremacist Ku Klux Klan and one-time opponent of civil rights legislation.
Nationally, Obama holds his largest lead yet over Clinton in the Gallup Poll, 55 percent to her 39 percent. The poll, released Monday, was conducted among 1,261 Democratic voters and has a 3 percentage point margin of error. Back in mid-January, Clinton held a 20 percentage point lead in the Gallup Poll.
Obama campaigned Monday in Montana, where voters will join those from South Dakota on June 3 in dropping the curtain on the 2008 primary and caucus season. Clinton planned to spend primary night in Louisville, Kentucky. Obama slated a rally for Iowa, where he won the caucus in the campaign season's opening salvo, seeking to convey a sense of closure to the Democratic campaign.
The Illinois senator rarely mentions Clinton now except to praise her "magnificent" campaign. Instead, Obama has sought to exploit McCain's ties to lobbyists.
McCain recently adopted conflict-of-interest guidelines that led to the departures of several campaign aides due to their links to lobbyists. After Tuesday, only three primaries remain on the Democratic calendar. Puerto Rico, with 55 delegates, holds its primary on June 1; Montana, with 16 delegates, and South Dakota, with 15, vote two days later.
