January 4, 1876: the Mississippi legislature of 1876, the first former-Confederate-controlled legislature since the start of the post-Civil War Reconstruction period, successfully campaigned on a promise to restore law and order through harsher penalties for "black lawlessness" in the state. They were encouraged by the recent success of convict-leasing pioneer Edmond Richardson in the Yazoo Delta region, who in 1868 had entered into a contract with the state to lease prisoners as labor to rebuild his lost cotton fortune. Many legislators saw the model as a perfect solution: convict leasing would simultaneously provide workers to the state's labor-starved employers, earn revenue for depleted state coffers that could not otherwise afford to maintain the state prison, and provide a means of controlling the state's recently-freed and largely impoverished black majority.
One of the new legislature's first acts was to pass the "Pig Law," which broadened "grand larceny" – an offense punishable by up to five years in state prison – to include theft of any farm animal or any property valued at ten dollars or more. White legislators knew the law would disproportionately affect the state's black citizens, many of whom remained unemployed and resorted to robbing farms to feed themselves and their families. Within three years, the number of state convicts tripled, from 272 in 1874 to 1,072 in 1877.
The Mississippi legislature soon also passed the Leasing Law, authorizing state prisoners to be leased to "work outside the penitentiary in building railroads, levees or in any private labor or employment." The law formally codified the practice of convict leasing, and the legislature soon proceeded to lease more than 1000 of its prisoners – the vast majority of them black – in contracts to employers across the state.
Convicts leased to private employers regularly did hard, dangerous work in appalling conditions, sleeping on bare ground and often wearing nothing more than the tattered clothing in which they arrived. Like masters over slaves, employers had broad authority to whip convicts for offenses such as "slow hoeing," "sorry planting," and "being light with cotton." Those who tried to escape were whipped until blood ran down their legs, and sometimes even had metal spurs riveted to their feet.
January 4, 1937: a member of the Communist Party, Dirk De Jonge had organized a public meeting on July 27, 1934, where he was arrested. He was then convicted of violating the Oregon Criminal Syndicalism statute, which prohibited advocating the overthrow of the government.
In De Jonge v Oregon, The Supreme Court ruled that convicting him for simply conducting a meeting violated the First Amendment.

January 4. 1979: an out-of-court settlement was reached in the civil cases and approved by the Ohio State Controlling Board with a vote of 6-to-1. Shortly after the board announced its decision, the judge in the U.S. District Court in Cleveland dismissed a jury that had been called to hear testimony in a second trial against the state.
The settlement, according to the plaintiffs, "accomplished to the greatest extent possible under present law" their main objectives, not the least of which was financial support for Dean Kahler, who has been paralyzed.
Also sought by plaintiffs was a statement signed by Rhodes and 27 National Guardsmen who were defendants in the case.
The statement, read in court, said: "In retrospect, the tragedy of May 4, 1970 should not have occurred." It also noted that students protesting the Cambodian invasion by U.S. troops "may have believed they were right" in continuing their protests in spite of a university ban on rallies and an order for the students to disperse. The statement went on to note that those orders had been upheld as "lawful" by the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
The statement continued: "Some of the guardsmen on Blanket Hill (the campus area where the violence occurred), fearful and anxious from prior events, may have believed in their own minds that their lives were danger. Hindsight suggests another method would have resolved the confrontation. Better ways must be found to deal with such confrontations.
Attorneys fees and expenses, $75,000.
January 4, 2017: Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced that the Justice Department had withdrawn federal guidelines that effectively limited prosecutions of businesses and individuals who sold pot in a legal manner under state law, even though the drug remains illegal under federal law. Sessions said future prosecutions would be up to individual U.S. attorneys.
January 4, 2017: Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke proposed a sweeping new offshore drilling plan aimed at opening huge swaths of the Arctic, Atlantic and Pacific oceans to oil exploration.


Just curious, what do CX/KA do for their aircrafts still at HKG? Suppose most of them won't get into the hangar? Do they just turn the aircrafts around to an angle less impacted by wind/gust?
so you called out a piece of advice being idiotic and throw it against a conditional case and complain when you decide to stay put.
so many people got to fly out early.
My dad's friend's flight from CCU-HKG and HKG-SFO on CX has been canceled for this reason. They've decided to re-route him and put him on EK, so he'll end up reaching 2.5 hours later than CX870 (at 2PM instead).
Just got an update for HKG -> LHR :: CX237 & CX255 in small hours Monday 17th are moved to after 1000, so a delay of about 10 hours. The 3 daytime flights on Sunday are cancelled, naturally.
Edit, FYI: Looking at the seat load for CX237, quite a lot of empty seats - it's not filled up at the moment for accommodating the other three from Sunday.
Traveling to PVG tomorrow (15th), CX proactively sent and email informing me that they will protect me on a partner airline....they when I checked my app...it looks like they confirmed me on a MNL-PVG direct flight on MU for SUNDAY the 16th.
I had to call back and have them reinstate my CX flight because there is no way I'm flying MU.
I called CX again because my flight on the 17th leaves PVG at 8:40am and I was hoping to get on an earlier flight...unfortunately they can't offer me anything other than flights on the 18th or 19th. The agent told me that HK will be most affected between 16 and 17th.
I'm on CX908 departing MNL at 6am connecting to PVG on KA804... there shouldn't be any problems since the typhoon should be on the eastern side of Luzon. I spoke my contacts at the airport and they said currently CX908 will still depart on time (depending on tonight's departure of CX913).
This morning I called the MNL office to sort it out, the only viable resolution I have was to ask them to reinstate my booking original booking, but when I logged in after lunch I saw that the protection team must have taken it out and put me again on the 16th on MU.
Managed to get on PR instead, I think its a better alternative to MU. Plus PR will be using their tri-class 330 so I get to check out their new seats.
My original flight CX908 actually left on time this morning...and looks like it just landed in HKG....kinda annoyed that CX got overly cautious and sent me to PR tomorrow (flights for today was full...then got cancelled) when they could have flown me to HKG this morning.
24 hours notice isn't bad but still isn't good enough really. I think they should have offered proactive rebooking as soon as the observatory drew that line towards HK. Allowing flexible people to change and lighten the load on the call centre staff who will predictably now have to handle thousands of passengers rebooking and the hours of holding to achieve this - a lose lose situation for all.
No system is perfect but I still think this could be improved.
The HK Observatory map shows that Mangkhut made a turn in a more northerly direction leaving Luzon.
So the projected path will take it closer to HK.
At today's dim sum social (blowing water) brunch, a retired Uncle from the Observatory commented that this should be a T11.
This is the worse incoming since data is kept starting from 1946, the year he was born.
Everyone take care. If you need to leave take kaka's valuable advice.
I know two people got to HKIA and were able to fly out this afternoon for their "must be at" meetings.
Got on CX879 in SFO on Friday thinking my Sat evening connection in HKG would be ok. Arrived here to find out they cancelled Sat eve flight to HYD even though weather is fine. I'm so pissed. They should have cancelled before I got on the plane in SFO.
No other flights to India available tonight.
I have a BP for Sunday the 16th, with handwritten Monday the 17th on it. I am protected on another flight on the 19th.
CX put me up in a hotel far from airport for two nights with paid taxi and meals (Paid J ticket). Guess I will be riding out the storm in Hong Kong.
I have just recieved notification from CX that my 9.10am Sunday 16/9 flight to CDG has been rescheduled to FRIDAY 21/9. Midnight flight. Some SIX days from now. Has anyone got advice how to get this moved forwards? Ringing CX call centre just getting out on holding pattern.
Btw the advice people were putting out in this thread to go out to the airport yesterday and try and get on a flight was EXTREMELY unhelpful. There were NO available flights on Cx yesterday and the Hong Kong hotel rates are going through the roof. So to give up your hotel reservation to do that could have caused you to have incurred thousands of $$$ rebooking a hotel again after having gone out to the airport. VERY BAD ADVICE FROM SOMEONE PROBABLY NOT EVEN ANYWHERE NEAR HONG KONG.
I was one of those people giving such advice.
I was at the airport as I typed it. I had just gotten me and two traveling companions moved from our KA flight on Sunday (cancelled) to Saturday (yesterday, day at airport), and we departed a few hours later.
The line I typed is nearly a verbatim quote given to me by the ground staff checking us in.
A fellow behind us in line, with a flight to Xiamen on Sunday, did the identical thing we did.
CX and KA had indeed zeroed out sales to accommodate people who wanted to switch. Of course, if the flight was already full, there is nothing that can be done. They are not going to force pax off.
I'm not sure where you were going, but a client of mine scheduled to fly to SFO on Sunday, showed up at the airport and managed to get on a flight yesterday to LAX.
Those are the only anecdotes I know for now. I'm sure others weren't successful too.
Sorry to hear you didn't catch your flight.
CX601 HKG-MLE Sep 16 - 2x pax in I class already protected (with partner involved). Thank you 3888 for continuing to be 0-min wait and flexible (although not for higher fare bucket).
My 2nd IRROPS in my 16-month history with MPO, better handling this time!
But several pax who were desperately trying to get out of HK without a reservation for Saturday did get accomodated on departing flights.
i booked a flight yesterday and missed it because of visa issues. i was put on hkgkhh instead against fare rules. like someone who went to lax, cx helped others to fly out on non-full flights.
Eight hours before my outbound, received text that my return flight (CX565 from TPE to HKG) on 17th evening has been cancelled. Hoping they cancelled so far in advance because they need that A350 to fly long haul and not because they expect massive disruptions into Monday. I have a can't miss meeting on the 18th. Do I even bother flying in the morning? Am I now behind all the pax on the cancelled Sunday (16th) flights in terms of priority for rebooking?
It's interesting that (so far) more TPE-HKG flights on the 17th are canceled than on the 16th.
Nope, just full tanks of gas to weigh them down, and parked in the most sheltered parts around the terminal/apron.
4/ The airfield floods and swamps the aircraft.
The defences against these are some or all of: If you can get the aircraft away then do, if not go indoors if not then: Fill it up with fuel and / or ballast to weight it down, point into strongest wind direction (noted issue when the wind shifts), move well away from terminal buildings and other aircraft so if it does weathercock it won't hit anything. Tidy up the ramp area to reduce flying debris.
For slightly smaller aircraft (think 30 seats) caught at a remote airfield I've even seen sandbags placed all along the leading edge of the wing to disrupt the airflow and stop the wing generating lift and a pair of fire trucks (full of water) parked upwind as a windbreak.
Interesting that HX/UO has evacuated all the planes from HKG. I thought CX/KA would have done something similar.
Link comes up as unavailable ?
kaka and royng like this.
Since you use capital letters, let me say that the advice given by experienced HK flyers was a good one and your remark proves that you did not go to the airport.
for everyone who is flying exHKG between the current time and monday midday, get ur bum to hkia before the end of day for any chance to get the hell out of HKG. the earlier the merrier.
BKK-HKG-LAX cancelled for 16th, got amex to call CX west coast service center 6 a.m. and they found a CX flight out on 17th 1600 bkk-hkg then 0030 on 18th CX 880 HKG-LAX that arrives back in LAX night of 17th. Not great seats PE and they could not would not change on phone but got them to change first flight to good PE seats, hopefully will do so for 880 leg at airport tomorrow.
These tickets were in E class so not upgradable with miles and CX BKK airport agent would not budge this rule and let me upgrade. Anyone with experience of them bending this rule? Also since I paid a change fee a few weeks ago to change to the 16th and now this change was not honored am I entitled to $100 change fee refund? What about $39 Amex booking of the change?
Since no cancelation protection reiubursement from using amex platinum card do most international travelers use Chase card to book?

» Man sues hospital, doctors for emergency room negligence
Man sues hospital, doctors for emergency room negligence
On Behalf of O'Brien Batten Kirtley & Coomer, PLLC | Jun 5, 2013 | Uncategorized |
A 66-year-old man has filed a medical malpractice lawsuit against a Mercy Clinic in Missouri, alleging emergency room negligence after he says two doctors at Mercy Hospital failed to provide proper treatment for a flesh-eating bacteria infection he had in 2010. The lawsuit, which is scheduled for a September trial, claims he was not given proper emergency care because he did not have medical insurance, and it resulted in the bacteria spreading across his left buttocks and leg.
The plaintiff was seen in the emergency room in June 2010 for "perirectal abscess and cellulitis," according to the lawsuit. The emergency room doctor, who is listed as a defendant in the case, spoke with a surgeon about the man's case. The surgeon decided not to see the man while he was in the emergency room, but said to make an appointment on the following day. He was discharged with antibiotics and painkillers. It was four days until an appointment could be made through the surgeon's medical practice, though.
The man underwent four surgeries to remove damaged and dead tissue, as well as a skin graft procedure. He also required a colostomy to stop the infection. The total costs for the care, including surgeries, was more than $400,000.
Two expert witnesses in the man's case say that health care providers are required by law to provide emergency care in order to stabilize patients in need. According to a hospital document, the man's status on the day of his emergency room visit was "bad debt" because he had no insurance and was not employed.
Mercy Hospital would not comment on the lawsuit, but said they do not base any patient's treatment on whether or not the patient can pay the bill. The man and his wife, who is listed as a co-defendant, have asked for a jury trial. The damages sought in the case include pain, mental anguish, loss of consort and loss of companionship.
If you believe you have suffered due to medical malpractice, contact a personal injury attorney to discuss your options. Similar claims for damages may be applicable to your case.

Pat Duncan appointed as senator for the Yukon
Ottawa has appointed three others, including Margaret Dawn Anderson as senator for the NWT
Two women, one of them Indigenous, have been appointed as senators for the Yukon and Northwest Territories.
The federal government made the announcement on Dec. 12.
Pat Duncan, who has a 10-year track record in the Yukon's legislative assembly, including as the Yukon's first female premier, has been named senator for the Yukon.
Prior to her time in politics, Duncan served as the executive director of the Yukon Chamber of Commerce. She has also worked as a public servant and manager of claimant services for the Yukon Workers' Compensation Health and Safety Board, according to a press release.
Margaret Dawn Anderson, an Inuvialuk, was appointed senator for the Northwest Territories. Anderson has been a public servant in the Northwest Territories for more than 20 years, with much of her work dealing with Indigenous people.
Anderson has worked within the machinery of the territory's Department of Justice, including as director of community justice and policing.
"Ms. Anderson's dedication to her community and to improving the lives of others is best displayed through her Planning Action Responsibly Toward Non-violent Empowered Relationships (PARTNER) project, a northern-based program for low to medium risk domestic violence offenders, and her work as an active member of the Working Group for Domestic Violence Treatment Options Court," the press release says.
For the first time in eight years, the senate now has 105 members, a "full complement."
There were two other appointments made in Ontario and Nova Scotia.

Lokalitet på stedet - restaurant, som serverer morgenmad og middag.
An excellent hotel with friendly and informative staff. The room was clean and afforded a wonderful ocean view. I was pleased with the generous time period in which breakfast was available I.e from 7.30 to 10.00 am.
Extremely uncomfortable bed, springs totally shot! Felt like sleeping downhill. Worst nights sleep ever!
The Monopol is a lovely historic hotel built in traditional Canarian style. The rooms are clean and comfortable and the situation of the hotel on a pretty square opposite the church in Puerto de la Cruz is brilliant for both sightseeing and local restaurants. The reception staff were extremely helpful and attentive. Breakfast was a little disappointing but this did not detract from a very enjoyable stay.
Excellent hotel great central position..nice room overlooking sea.good bar..pool plenty space to sunbathe.Breakfast was very good plenty choice.

canada goose outlet location How did shakespeare think of all his plays? canada goose outlet location
Shakespeare got the stories for his plays from books usually, or sometimes older plays he had seen. We imagine that Shakespeare read the story and said "That might be the basis of a good play." He would then add new characters and take out others, and change their names sometimes. Sometimes Shakespeare added a secondary plot of some kind which might never have been a part of the story before, to make the play more interesting. For example, if you know the plays A Midsummer Night's Dream and Romeo and Juliet, the story of Peter Quince's play Pyramus and Thisbe is Canada Goose sale pretty much the same story as the story in Romeo and Juliet. Shakespeare's genius was not in thinking up plots, but in taking something like Pyramus and Thisbe and turning it into something like Romeo and Juliet. (MORE)
In fictional writing does the story revolve around the plot or the characters?
canada goose coats uk Whichever way you want! Some stories are "plot driven," which means they revolve around the plot or storyline. You pick out a good plot and decide which characters will work best in that particular story. I generally have an idea of the plot and then let the characters drive the rest but sometimes the characters revolt and overthrow the plot. Generally, a guide to knowing which you prefer is, when you have a conflict of interest between plot and characters, do you change the plot or the characters? Whichever one you don't change is the one you prefer to use to drive the story. (MORE) canada goose coats uk

Numerous acting companies devote themselves exclusively to the works of Shakespeare. Why? Because he is genuinely better than other playwrights. Actors find his plays challenging; audiences find them moving and funny. (MORE)
What do people think of Shakespeare plays?
They continue to be very popular with audiences all over the world, as witness the continual stream of movies of the plays and choice by professional and amateur theatre companies to present them. Actors enjoy the richness of the characters and the dialogue. There are those who do not enjoy Shakespeare's work, as there have always been. There are also a number who don't think they like Shakespeare's plays, but who have never actually seen one performed, and so have no basis for judging. Also, I think that people liked the change in the classic "Happily Ever After" ending that Shakespeare expressed in his plays. You could figure out that Romeo and Juliet were lovers that were going to die from the title of the play: it's about Romeo and Juliet and it's a tragedy. The only real giveaway is that the deaths of the children will resolve the feud of the fathers. Why did Shakespeare give this outline? Why do theatre programs contain an outline of the plot? Why do English teachers make you read the play before you watch it? Sometimes knowing what's coming helps you to understand it better. (MORE)
How many plots do Shakespeare plays usually have?
canada goose outlet canada The tragedies generally have one main plot, although there are diversions canada goose store from it. Some of the comedies have two plots such as Much Ado About Nothing (the Beatrice/Benedick plot and the Claudio/Hero plot) and Merchant of Venice (the Bassanio/Portia plot and the Shylock/Antonio plot). The plot structure canada goose factory sale of some of the history plays, particularly the Henry VI trilogy, is diffuse and difficult to unravel. The more popular history plays Richard III and Henry V have a more definable main plot. The plot of Pericles is rambling and episodic, but does not have strong subplots. On the other hand, the late play Cymbeline contains Shakespeare's most complex and tightly written plot. (MORE) canada goose outlet canada
If Shakespeare were alive today would he argue that evil doers are primarily infulenced by genetics upbringing or their own free choice?
If he were to be alive today he would argue that evildoers are primarily influenced by their own free choice. Taking a took at Macbeth Act IV, the tragic hero chose to do evil things because (this is where the other factors of evil is influenced by) of his strong ambition. And that lead him to show his state of mind wanting to kill some more. But then of course you can canada goose uk outlet also point to Richard III who is a horrible murdering monster because he is born deformed both in body and in mind. Based on this play, you might assume that Shakespeare would argue that genetics are the key factor. Or alternatively you could look at his play Coriolanus where Coriolanus's character, which is the ultimate source of his downfall, is primarily due Canada Goose Coats On Sale to his upbringing by his domineering mother. So on the basis of Coriolanus, upbringing is what evil doers are primarily influenced by. In other words, it is hopeless trying to guess what Shakespeare really thought about anything on the basis of what happens in his plays. That is why we have no clue about Shakespeare's personal buy canada goose jacket opinions. (MORE).

Non-Partisan, but Not Neutral
Milbank State Leadership Network Health Care Bipartisanship
Christopher F. Koller
The Flood of Medical Debt and JP Morgan
Back to The View from Here
Bipartisanship in health policy is hard to find. Pick your topic—Medicaid expansion, Medicare reform, or health insurance exchanges—and voices are shrill, slogans are wielded like swords, and opinions ossified. Powered by easy ideologies and campaign cash, the outcomes of partisanship are misunderstandings, distrust, and a lack of progress on important issues.
The Milbank Memorial Fund, in an attempt to combat this, explicitly seeks to bring state health policymakers together in non-partisan settings to fulfill our mission of "improving population health by connecting leaders and decision makers with the best evidence and experience."
Our signature effort in this arena has been the Reforming States Group (RSG). Now approaching its 25th year, the RSG convenes Republican and Democratic-elected and -appointed state and county officials, spiced with international colleagues, to learn from the evidence and one another's experience. The dynamic effect on people of exchanging a diversity of ideas and dialogue in a safe, respectful space is startling to witness.
But non-partisanship—and its pleasing harmony—is not the goal of public policy work: nor is using objective evidence, working collaboratively, or building effective relationships in the course of the work. All of these are values the Fund explicitly espouses, but they are employed toward the greater goal of improved population health. And population health is not neutral—it is a goal.
Population Health – A Collective Priority
Kindig and Stoddard define population health as "the health outcomes of a group of individuals, including the distribution of such outcomes within the group." Making population health a collective priority puts it in conflict with other societal goals. It can result in laws that limit my personal liberty to make choices that negatively affect my health or that of others—smoking indoors in public places, not vaccinating my kids—but might make me feel pretty darn good. It can dictate expansive and expensive roles for government, and threaten, at least for some, standards for civic and personal responsibilities.
Having a goal, or a priority does not make an organization or a person partisan. The markers of partisanship instead are the reliance upon selective anecdotes, the rejection of objectivity and intellectual curiosity, and an unwillingness to attempt to understand differences of values and priorities and to find common cause across those differences.
For the RSG, no current issue better illustrates this distinction between non-partisanship and neutrality than Medicaid expansion. The evidence supporting expanded insurance coverage (or the elimination of financial barriers to medical care) as fundamental to improving population health is clear and convincing. No one in the RSG would dispute that. Committed to improved population health, the Fund accepts and disseminates this evidence; thus, we should not be considered neutral on this topic. We do not shrink from it.
Significant differences of opinion exist among RSG members, however, about Medicaid expansion as the best policy for improving insurance access. Some offer full-throated support for straight Medicaid expansion. Others conclude that revisions in benefits and expectations are necessary for the program to be more effective. The evidence of the effectiveness of these revisions remains to be seen, but one must acknowledge that the sky has not fallen on such Medicaid innovators as Indiana and Arkansas. Still others in the RSG believe that the goals of state budget sustainability and reduced tax burdens trump those of population health—at least as offered by any current version of Medicaid.
So, while the necessity of expanded insurance (and reduced financial barriers to health care) for improved population health is incontrovertible, in our Federalist model there is no single right answer to the appropriate means of insurance expansion. Given the Affordable Care Act in its current construct, we at the Fund have committed ourselves to helping RSG members develop a Medicaid expansion that works for their constituencies.
That is an artful position, but not a neutral or partisan one. We maintain that leadership is required to help states design an acceptable Medicaid expansion, and we accept the differences in values that exist in different parts of our country. Burlington, VT is not Birmingham, AL; the calculus of population health, personal liberty and responsibility, collective action, and economic value is performed locally not nationally.
A Commitment to Leadership and a Repudiation of Partisanship
What the Fund believes should be absolute is a commitment to identifying policies that allow all people to live long and fulfilling lives, and a repudiation of partisanship and its hallmarks. We will continue to synthesize evidence and experience on population health improvement efforts for policymakers, and promote collaboration and effective personal relationships among public leaders who share these goals.
It is a small but, we hope, significant aid to those who do this hard work. For all its compelling evidence, insurance access expansion will necessitate compromise and won't happen overnight. The need to compromise in this work can mean that each policymaker has his/her own gauge of what constitutes success.
And often not getting to 100% is okay. As one RSG participant from a non-Medicaid-expanding state declared at a recent meeting, "I'm an 80 percenter."
"Hell," his tablemate—from another non-expansion state and a different political party—responded, "I'm a twenty per center."
Improved population health is the goal. Non-partisan, yes. But not neutral.

What is Anchoring to Control Interview Stress?
Our mind controls us. How we think of ourselves controls us. These can be positive or limiting factors in our career progression. At interview we need to control interview stress. You will probably only get one chance for that role. So instead of your mind controlling you, teach it to control interview stress. If you do this a number of times, you will start to see results, and not only at interview.
Use the following technique for creating any state you desire. Relaxation, 'ready for action', excitement, or any other state you would want for certain situations. This process has been labelled as 'anchoring'.
The mind cannot tell the difference between real and clearly imagined events! So if you have a nervousness about interviews, chances are that you have either experienced a stressful interview, or you have imagined how bad they could be.
An anchor is a specific stimulus that we can use to invoke a feeling of success (or another) state. Used repeatedly, it is one of the most powerful personal state management tools available, and will control interview stress. The same rules apply for whatever state you require. It works on the basis of an external stimuli invoking an internal response. For example, we have had a time when we caught a smell in the air, and suddenly you get a flood of memories and feelings associated with those memories. In this case the small is the external stimuli. Another example might result in a fear of dogs. Where does that come from? Well, you have been bitten or simply was scared by a dog. Now seeing a dog (external stimuli) you may immediately get the feelings associated with being scared by a dog or bitten by one. The mind has 'generalised' the single incident to one of being scared by all dogs. The generalisation is there to protect you based on your previous experiences.
Here is the scary bit. They do not have to be real experiences. The mind cannot tell the difference between real and clearly imagined events! So if you have a nervousness about interviews, chances are that you have either experienced a stressful interview, or you have imagined how bad they could be.
And now the good bit. We can use exactly the same technique your mind uses to create the worry about interviews. However, now we will use it to control interview stress.
Here is the scary bit. They do not have to be real experiences. The mind cannot tell the difference between real and clearly imagined events!
For demonstration, we will use success as the required state in order to control interview stress. Please remember that you can use this to create any other 'states' you wish.
Suppose you remember a time when you felt especially good about something you had done. A time you won something. A time you did a presentation, and the audience loved it. A time you got a salary raise because your manager thought you deserved it. It really does not matter what the event was. It only matters that you felt successful. Once you have that memory, read these instructions, then shut your eyes, and play them out.
Make sure you are associated with that scene. Notice the colours and make them brighter. If the picture is still, make it move. If you are not in the picture, introduce yourself into it. If the picture is distant, zoom in.
Listen to the sounds and make them more crisp.
Now, remember the feelings and feel them all over again.
And while you play with these aspects of your event, notice what happens to the way you feel.
Just before the feelings reach their peak, run your finger down the knuckle of your other hand.
Now slowly begin to open your eyes bringing those feelings with you.
Do this sequence FIVE or more times and you will find that you have created a stimulus/response mechanism. The external stimuli of running your fingers down the middle knuckle of your other hand is associated with the feelings of success. This means that whenever you want the feeling of success back, running your finger down the middle knuckle will give it to you. This will control interview stress and turn it (with practice) into a feeling of success.
You must keep repeating this or you will begin to loose the anchor!
Repeat, repeat and repeat again!
If you want to control other states, use a different external stimuli specific for that state. For example, if you wanted to create a state of relaxation, then you would think about a time you were most relaxed. Follow the process, but then choose a different part of the body. You might tap one shoulder, or pinch the nail of your little finger on one hand into your thumb on the same hand. It really is up to you.
The next technique is an actors technique often called 'centring' or 'steadying'.

Lawmakers coordinate effort to stop blacklisted Chinese firms from receiving U.S. tax dollars
Turn Off the Tap Act would stop federal funds from going to firms blacklisted by the Department of Commerce.
By Casey Harper
Updated: July 23, 2022 - 11:58pm
Several Republican senators introduced new legislation this week that would prevent U.S. taxpayer dollars from going to certain Chinese firms.
Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., introduced the Turn Off the Tap Act along with Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., and Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla. The bill would stop any federal funds from going to companies that have been blacklisted by the Department of Commerce's Entity List and the Non-SDN Chinese Military-Industrial Complex Companies List.
"It's not only dangerous to fund Chinese businesses with American taxpayer dollars, but it's also dumb," Rubio said. "This bill would prohibit federal funds from bankrolling Chinese and other firms we know are not acting in our best interest."
Lawmakers also argued China is taking advantage of the U.S. while not addressing its human rights violations.
"We know Communist China will stop at nothing to try and exploit American markets and take advantage of American businesses operating within the genocidal regime's borders," Scott said. "The Turn Off the Tap Act will stop the flow of hardworking Americans' dollars to countries like Communist China who want to hurt our economy. This legislation is a no-brainer, and I urge the support of my colleagues for its quick passage."
The federal funding goes to these companies via federal grants or contracts which, aside from the national security concerns, threatens American businesses since Chinese companies have a history of predatory investment and stealing U.S. intellectual property.
Experts say Chinese companies often use cultural exchange programs or shell companies to access U.S. investment.
"It is unconscionable that the Biden administration has enabled the Chinese Communist Party to rake in cash from American taxpayers," Blackburn said. "Rather than letting Joe Biden award grants or sign federal contracts that undermine the United States, I am cosponsoring legislation to cut our adversaries off. The White House needs to stop emboldening the New Axis of Evil and start putting America first."
Rep. Claudia Tenney, R-N.Y., introduced companion legislation in the House with the same goal.
"The American people's tax dollars should not be invested in blacklisted Chinese companies," she said. "Yet today, because of weak policies in Washington, they continue to be. It's time we cut off the tap.
"The Chinese Communist Party's predatory trade policies, significant human rights abuses, and threats to American security are absolutely unacceptable."
Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., introduced a similar bill Monday, the "Time to Choose Act," which would "prohibit the Department of Defense and other federal agencies from contracting with consulting firms like McKinsey & Company who are simultaneously providing services to the Chinese government or its affiliates."
Hawley said, "The fact that these consultants are awarded huge contracts by our Defense Department and other federal agencies, while they are simultaneously working to advance China's efforts to coerce the United States is appalling and completely unacceptable. It is well past time that we hold these companies accountable and prohibit this kind of conflict of interest in government contracting."


BRUSSELS -- With NATO officials calling Russia more unpredictable now than during the Cold War, alliance defense ministers on Thursday are expected to approve further measures to enhance the organization's ability to deter and, if necessary, respond to military threats from Moscow, officials said.
-- Upgrading the existing NATO Response Force to make it bigger, more capable and more quickly deployable. Now 40,000-strong, it has been sent into action just once -- for earthquake relief 10 years ago in Pakistan -- and has been deemed unfit for NATO's current needs.
