Buying a House: Debt
Whatever the ideas you have about what your politics are, you are captured by bourgeois interests that keep your actual interests in maintaining the status quo–more so for housing than for student debt, I'd say. So, yeah, debt is the price you have to pay to be in the middle class. It's also the price you pay to be invested in a system you don't want.
The Populist Revolution: Bernie and Beyond
The world is undergoing a populist revival. From the revolt against austerity led by the Syriza Party in Greece and the Podemos Party in Spain, to Jeremy Corbyn's surprise victory as Labour leader in the UK, to Donald Trump's ascendancy in the Republican polls, to Bernie Sanders' surprisingly strong challenge to Hillary Clinton – contenders with their fingers on the popular pulse are surging ahead of their establishment rivals.
UK Banking Industry – Most Unstable in G7 Implements Depositor Bail-in Scheme
If anything happens in the banking sector – Britain will be one of the first to feel its effects and your hard-earned, tax paid savings will be used to save them this time.
Hang Onto Your Wallets: Negative Interest, the War on Cash, and the $10 Trillion Bail-in
Today's central bankers are proposing to tax existing money, diminishing spending power without first building it up. And the interest will go to private bankers, not to the local government.
Making the World Safe for Banksters: Syria in the Cross-hairs
Countries laboring under the yoke of an extractive private banking system are being forced into "structural adjustment" and austerity by their unrepayable debt. But some countries have managed to escape. In the Middle East, these are the targeted "rogue nations." Their state-owned banks can issue the credit of the state on behalf of the state, leveraging public funds for public use without paying a massive tribute to private middlemen. Generous state funding allows them to provide generously for their people.
The Money Masters ~ Full Movie
THE MONEY MASTERS is a 3 1/2 hour non-fiction, historical documentary that traces the origins of the political power structure. The modern political power structure has its roots in the hidden manipulation and accumulation of gold and other forms of money. The development of fractional reserve banking practices in the 17th century brought to a cunning sophistication the secret techniques initially used by goldsmiths fraudulently to accumulate wealth. With the formation of the privately-owned Bank of England in 1694, the yoke of economic slavery to a privately-owned "central" bank was first forced upon the backs of an entire nation, not removed but only made heavier with the passing of the three centuries to our day. Nation after nation has fallen prey to this cabal of international central bankers.

'BS' (short for 'bullshit') is the ironic title we have chosen to express our frustration with the corporate and political bias in the mainstream media (MSM). This systemic bias is summed up by the 'Propaganda Model' advanced by Noam Chomksy and Edward Herman in their must-read book, 'Manufacturing Consent'.
Why is it so important to draw attention to this? Because the consequences of such distortion can be measured in the suffering and deaths of millions of people who become the victims of our wars waged on the back of fabricated public assent. Thoreau said, we 'must do justice, cost what it may'. Let us, then, insist on honesty and humanity above profit and power. Let's breathe the fresh air of truth, however painful that may be.

Eye For Film >> Movies >> Cry Macho (2021) Film Review
Reviewed by: Amber Wilkinson
"Eastwood is looking good for a nonagenarian, no doubt, but the idea that not one, but two women four decades his junior would see him as a potential mate through the course of this film, is definitely pushing it."
You know things are not going well for a film when, part way through, you idly begin to wonder whether the novel by R Richard Nash can really be as all over the place as this adaptation by Nick Schenk - and I suspect we should cut Nash some slack. All of which is odd when you consider the story is familiar emotional ground for Schenk, who also scripted the much more robust Gran Torino, which saw a curmudgeonly Clint Eastwood forge an unexpected friendship with a teenager.
Here the old guy/teen connection is similar although this time we're in road trip territory as Eastwood's former rodeo star Mike Milo - complete with a literal tragic back story (he broke it), coupled with grief and recovering addiction - agrees to try to bring the Mexican teenage son of his former employer (Dwight Yoakham), who his father believes is being abused by his alcoholic mother Leta (Fernanda Urrejola), north of the Border.
The early scenes are mired in expositional dialogue, so it's quite a relief when Eastwood takes to the road and we're allowed a bit of ruminative open country - something that Eastwood and Ben Davis have a definite eye for and which is captured with warmth throughout. As Mike rocks up at Lena's place, however, you begin to suspect that you're not in Mexico at all but some sort of Grandad Fantasyland. Eastwood is looking good for a nonagenarian, no doubt, but the idea that not one, but two women four decades his junior would see him as a potential mate through the course of this film, is definitely pushing it. Plus, this guy is, as he points out himself, a veritable "Dr Dolittle" when it comes to animals, whether it's breaking in horses or fixing up goats.
Then there's the kid. Rafo (Eduardo Minett) is, far from the criminal his mother declared him to be, a sweet youngster, who agrees to head north with Mike so long as he can bring his fighting cock, named Macho, who actually does prove to be quite handy even in a non-bird fight. What happens next, sees the unlikely trio holing up in a small pueblo where the owner of the local Cantina (Natalia Traven) takes a shine to them both. But unlike the boys, the film fails to settle - it's as tonally all over as a bad school recorder class, mixing odd bits of comedy involving Macho, recalling Any Which Way But Loose's Clyde, with sporadic outbreaks of violence - each resolved with almost laughable haste - and something altogether more soulful.
That it works at all is down to Eastwood, the actor, whose growl and twinkle are both still loved by a camera and Traven, who polishes her small role like a fine piece of glass. Minett and Urrejola fair less well, the young actor's English delivery is flat by comparison so the chemistry between Rafo and Mike fails to be as sparky as it should, while Urrejola is only a hair's breadth away from the deliberately OTT performance of Salma Hayek in The Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard. There's nothing wrong with a slice of old-fashioned entertainment but too much of this feels as though it has been out in the Mexican sun for too long.

Measuring Prosperity: The Unemployment Rate
In Economy
The unemployment rate tells us about the share of people who do not have a job. Unemployment represents untapped potential for people to earn a living by producing goods and services. Lack of a job often negatively affects incomes, spending, savings, and well-being — both at the individual and family levels and across the economy. As a result, unemployment is one of the most common metrics used to describe the health of our economy and labor market, while many state and local economic development efforts focus on reducing it. (1) (2)
The unemployment rate measures the percent of the labor force without a job. It is one of the most common metrics used to describe the economy and labor market.
Tennessee's unemployment levels reached historic lows in 2019 and were better than the national average.
The unemployment rate can serve as a proxy for general economic conditions.
It does not, however, tell us about the size, productivity, or participation of Tennessee's potential pool of workers and can obscure disparities between groups within an area.
This is part of our series on the pros and cons of five common ways to measure prosperity and economic growth in Tennessee.
What is the Unemployment Rate?
The unemployment rate measures the percent of the labor force without a job. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics considers a person unemployed if they do not have a job but are available to work and have been actively looking for work in the prior four weeks. The labor force includes both those who are considered unemployed and individuals who are already working. (5)
Unemployment in Tennessee
Tennessee's unemployment levels reached historic lows in 2019 and were better than the national average (Figure 1). As of February 2020, Tennessee's seasonally-adjusted unemployment rate was 3.4% — the 24th lowest in the country. (6) In 2019, Tennessee's unemployment rate was 3.4% — the state's lowest annual unemployment rate in history. Figure 2 displays how the unemployment rate relates to the state's labor force and the broader population.
During the Great Recession, Tennessee's unemployment rate reached a high of 10.5% — the highest annual unemployment rate over the last 3 decades and the 3rd highest annual unemployment rate since 1976.
Trade-Offs of Using Unemployment to Measure Prosperity
Advantages of the Measure
The unemployment rate offers several advantages for tracking and describing the economy.
The unemployment rate can serve as a proxy for general economic conditions. Historically, the unemployment rate correlates with overall economic growth — when unemployment is low, economic output is generally higher. Trends in the official unemployment rate also track closely with more comprehensive measures of the labor market, such as labor force participation, wages, and hours worked. (2)(9)
The rate provides a standardized way to track changes in the economy over time across geographic areas. Data are collected and reported every month at the national, state, and county levels.
Limitations of the Measure
The unemployment rate also has several characteristics that prevent it from offering a comprehensive picture of Tennessee's potential pool of workers. (10)
The unemployment rate does not account for everyone in Tennessee's labor market. "Discouraged" workers who leave the labor force after long periods without a job do not count as unemployed.
It does not explain the "why" behind people's employment situations. The unemployment rate does not differentiate between employed and "underemployed" workers — e.g. people with part-time or temporary jobs who want more hours or a permanent job. Nor does it capture the reasons people are not working, how long they have been unemployed, or why part-time workers are not working full-time.
Monthly unemployment rates do not provide information about differences across demographic groups within an area. Like all population-level metrics, topline figures can obscure disparities.
Unemployment may fall even when the economy is not improving. For example, if more workers become discouraged and stop looking for work, the unemployment rate will drop even if there is no increase in people working.
The unemployment rate does not measure the quality or adequacy of employment. The metric does not capture average wages, amount of hours worked, or the presence or absence of benefits.

This recording documents the last out of 4 times Fugazi performed at the famed Gilman Street venue (1988, 1989, 1990, 1991), here a benefit gig for the Gilman Street Project. For some more information related to this particular venue, see my earlier notes and write-up of the 1988 concert.
The set notably opens with a rudimentary, instrumental rendering of Facet Squared. Similar versions of this track, which would not see an official studio release until 1993, have only been played live by the band on a handful of occasions. Other highlights and bangers include Runaway Return ("Bikini! Kill!"), Suggestion (which not only addresses the situation of women in the US but also the casualty toll of the first Iraq war that concluded - at least officially - a couple of months earlier), as well as an ominous-sounding version of Glueman that has Guy ad-libbing throughout (notice the cool intro "… looks good on you, bay area blue, area blue, bay area glue, area glue…") and is quite a bit of a departure from the traditional build-up and breakdown since it offers more of a continuous sonic downpour this time around.
Even though the band pretty much curbs all unnecessary banter in-between songs, and the upfront and in-your-face vocals and guitars obscure the indispensable rhythm section (Brendan's toms and snare drum, and Joe's bass) from time to time, mostly during the up-tempo parts, the recording still emanates enough punk attitude to make it memorable and enjoyable. Imagine the guitars deliciously grinding, cutting and slashing left and right, the vocals angry, fierce.
The show offers 15 live tracks in total, and draws from the 7 Songs debut EP (4), the Margin Walker EP (2), Repeater (2), the Steady Diet of Nothing album (6) which saw its release in the summer of that same year, and, as mentioned, one track from the upcoming In on the Kill Taker album.

Vac-Con's new Titan series of industrial vacuum trucks boast a drastic decrease in noise pollution and a reduction in fuel consumption while maintaining full vacuum function. That's thanks to the company's Quiet Drive technology, which has been measured under 100 decibels. If you're looking for a truck to run in a residential neighborhood, the Titan series is a good bet. Get an up-close look with this video from the 2018 WWETT Show.


Once the exclusive domain of Japanese Samurai swords, Mokume Gane is a metalhead's dream: two different metals, cut, stacked, forged, and carved, resulting in beautiful patterns reminiscent of woodgrain. In our case, the metals are silver and copper, with a patina to 'pop' the copper. Then we pair it with chocolate pearls, bright silver, or natural brown zircons to make distinctive and delightful earrings. With Sterling silver posts or earwires.


I had the opportunity to take my son to Disneyland for the first time on the first night of Mickey's Halloween Party. If you haven't heard about Mickey's Halloween party, read my post,Mickey's Halloween Party: The Lowdown. It was just the two of us. He's 7 and we're good buddies but as he gets older, it's been harder and harder to find that time we had together before he started school. My husband agreed that taking my son to Disneyland would be unforgettable. So what made our visit to Disneyland even more special for us? It was like your typical Disneyland trip but amped up with an extra dose of enchantment and merriment.
When you go to Disneyland, it's like you've stepped into another magical world. When you attend Mickey's Halloween Party, you walk into the same magical world but with a Halloween twist. Part of the joy of Halloween is decorating your house and dressing up in costumes. Nowhere else do you get to see this on such a huge scale but at at Disneyland during Halloween Time and at Mickey's Halloween Party. The Halloween decorations are bewitching and festive. My favorite was the Haunted Mansion as Jack Skellington's crew have taken over for the 13th year. Everyone gets dressed up including Disney characters culminating in Mickey's Costume Party cavalcade.
So the verdict? Did we find the Disney magic? Yes, and in abundance. Mickey's Halloween Party gave us loads to remember. And perhaps the one that will stick with me the most is that my son, who hasn't held my hand since his first day in Kindergarten didn't hesitate to hold my hand while we were there, and tell me over and over that he was having so. much. fun.
This is an event we are looking most forward to this year for Halloween!

It's Not Over Yet: Cease-Fire Continues To Be Violated By Hamas, Islamic Jihad
"The Lord is with me; I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me? The Lord is with me; he is my helper. I look in triumph on my enemies." Ps. 118:6-7
IT'S NOT OVER YET: CEASE-FIRE CONTINUES TO BE VIOLATED BY HAMAS, ISLAMIC JIHAD: Over the weekend, a fragile quiet was jolted between the Gaza Strip and Israel after Israel said that it had ended airstrikes on Islamic Jihad targets. On Friday 15 Nov. 2019 the IDF said it hit a military compound, a rocket-manufacturing site, and an Islamic Jihad headquarters in Khan Yunis overnight and that airstrikes would not resume as long the Palestinian group holds its fire. The Israeli attacks were in response to Islamic Jihad's launching of a barrage of rockets into Israel on Thursday night 14 Nov. 2019. The terrorist group, Hamas, which rules the Gaza Strip, canceled weekly protests on Friday along the territory's border with Israel, apparently to preserve calm. The Egyptian-brokered cease-fire began early Thursday after the sides exchanged fire for several days following Israel's killing of the Islamic Jihad's commander in Gaza and its targeting of an official of the Iran-backed group at his Damascus home. On Saturday 16 Nov. 2019 Palestinian terrorists fired two rockets deep into southern Israel from Gaza and the Israeli military responded with a number of airstrikes on terrorist targets, shaking an already tenuous truce. Sirens sounded in the middle of the night in Beersheba, the largest city in southern Israel, some 18 miles from the Gaza border, warning of incoming fire. The military said its missile defenses intercepted the two rockets. This is far from the first time that the terrorists who rule Gaza have broken a ceasefire. Still, it came as a complete surprise to many residents of Beersheva, where public bomb shelters had already been closed. Needless to say, the sudden rocket attack caused a lot of stress and anxiety. A few hours later, Israeli aircraft struck a number of terrorist outposts belonging to Hamas. No injuries were reported. (JNN) Continue to pray for the wisdom and strategy of Israel's government and military leaders as Israel deals with unrelenting antagonists and terrorist murderers piloted by Hamas and Islamic Jihad. Intercede for the safety and protection of Israel's military men and women involved in anti-terrorist activities and for civilians in repeatedly targeted cities.
NETANYAHU: "WE WILL ATTACK ALL THOSE WHO ATTACK US:" PM Binyamin Netanyahu said at Sunday's 17 Nov. 2019 government meeting, concluding several days of fighting in Gaza. "I wish to, firstly, praise the security forces who took part in operation 'Black Belt.' I also would like to thank the members of the cabinet who agreed, as one, to authorize this operation. All goals were achieved. Again, I would like to stress, Israel has not obligated itself to anything. The security policy has not changed. We are keeping open all possible operational possibilities. We will attack those who try to attack us." Netanyahu responded to the rocket fire the previous night, "on Saturday night, Hamas fired at Be'er Sheva, I directed the IDF to fire on Hamas positions. We are prepared for every situation, we will do everything to protect the state of Israel and ensure its' security." (Arutz-7)
HELP VFI TO PREPARE FOR EMERGENCY CRISIS SITUATIONS: Israel's ongoing military attacks from Iranian-backed terrorist groups on the southern borders could, at any time, develop into a full-scale war. VFI, as well as the entire nation, must be equipped for this possible crisis with emergency measures and supplies. Please help us to prepare with a financial gift at www.visionforisrael.com. Your donations are vital and appreciated.
TERRORIST LAUNCH HUNDREDS OF ROCKETS INTO ISRAEL: MAJORITY OF 2020 DEMOCRATIC CONTENDERS MAKE NO COMMENT: Over the past week Israel, America's closest ally in the Middle East, has endured a barrage of rockets from the Islamic Jihad terrorist organization in Gaza, resulting in the closing of Tel Aviv schools for the first time since 1990. Businesses and schools across the southern and middle parts of the country were also shut down, in some cases, for several days. Transportation was disrupted and hundreds of people repeatedly needed to run to nearby bomb shelters. Many of these people were later treated for light injuries and stress reactions. In the early hours of Tuesday morning 12 Nov. 2019, in Gaza City, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) assassinated Baha Abu al-Ata, a top commander of the Gaza terror group Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), a strike which has resulted in violent retaliatory measures against Israel on the part of the Iranian-backed terrorist group. Yet, despite the hundreds of rockets launched at civilian centers throughout the southern part of Israel, only four of the top ten 2020 Democratic contenders bothered to comment—former Vice President Joe Biden, Sen. Kamala Harris, Mayor Pete Buttigieg, and Sen. Amy Klobuchar. Notably absent were frontrunners Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and Sen. Bernie Sanders (D-VT). (JNN)
ISRAELI MUSICIANS ENTERTAIN THOSE STUCK IN SHELTERS NEAR GAZA: Several of Israel's most popular musicians donated their time and talent to entertaining those stuck in shelters during the recent rocket attacks by Islamic Jihad. Eurovision winner Netta Barzilai made a surprise visit to a wedding in Beersheba and sang to the couple. Singer/songwriter Natan Goshen and Eurovision contestant Harel Skaat performed in shelters in Netivot. (J. Post)
NO ISRAELI GOVERNMENT - EVEN TRUMP LOSES PATIENCE WITH COMRADE IN ARMS, NETANYAHU: At a number of recent public appearances, USA President Donald Trump has jokingly expressed his frustration over the fact that two national elections this year notwithstanding, Israel still doesn't have a government. "What kind of a system is it over there? They are all fighting and fighting. We have different kinds of fights. At least we know who the boss is. They keep having elections and nobody is elected," quipped the president during a rant to an Orthodox Jewish group in New York. One official told media sources that the Americans are "frustrated and in despair due to Israeli politics and the political crisis, which has been preventing them for many months from presenting the diplomatic part of the 'deal of the century.'" Not much has changed as of the beginning of this week. If Benny Gantz is unable to form a coalition government by Wed. 20 Nov 2019 he will return the mandate given to him by President Reuven Rivlin, and the Knesset will require a 61- member majority to back any other candidate. Failing that, new elections will be called, which would be most likely held in March 2020. (JNN) Meanwhile, pray for USA President Donald Trump who has his own problems right now with leading Democrats hysterical with intent to impeach him.
MASS PROTESTS IN IRAN FOLLOWING FUEL HIKES: Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei announced fuel price hikes for Iran on Friday 15 Nov. 2019 and the following day, mass protests broke out in Tehran and other Iranian cities. Official sources say one protester was killed but reports on social media claim there have been additional deaths. As a result, authorities have closed down much of the country's internet services. Videos over the weekend showed protesters burning banks across the country. Videos from Shiraz showed hundreds of men rioting. Protesters have shouted against Iranian involvement abroad, even condemning the regime for involvement in supporting Islamic Jihad in Gaza over the recent flare-up with Israel. Some protesters argue that the regime has increased prices to fund Hezbollah in Lebanon and other foreign adventures. They have also shouted "down with the dictator," in Tehran. In some areas, security forces retreated in the face of protests. In Urmia, the Kurdish region people chanted "the enemy is here," a reference to the regime. Posters of the supreme leader were torn down in other cities. (JNN) Pray for the plight of the Iranian people. May the present oppressive Islamist regime be pulled down and replaced by sound thinking and caring leaders. "When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice, but when the wicked bears rule, the people mourn." Prov. 29:2
"PLEASE PUT DOWN YOUR CELL PHONE!" Transportation Minister Bezalel Smotrich opened 'Road Safety Week' at a government meeting on Sunday, 17 Nov. 2019. Among other comments, Smotrich implored the citizens of Israel: "I ask and plead with the citizens of Israel, put your cell phones aside while driving, be vigilant, pay attention to the pedestrians, take a foot off the gas, keep a distance, drive carefully. These are not clichés; it is life itself, a matter of life and death." How true it is that no matter what circle of fellow travelers one may be sharing a car with, in Israel, it doesn't take long before the topic of "crazy Israeli drivers," surfaces. It's a wonder that more instances of road-rage do not occur when habitually there's a person behind your vehicle that honks three seconds before the light turns green, or you're already going ten miles over the speed limit and the car in the rear-view mirror looks as though it's ready to climb in your trunk. The driver then flicks his brights off and on in case you're not getting the message. The modern-day road habit, however, that is of major concern to so many of us in Israel is that of texting while driving. It happens all the time. According to Rachel Tevet-Wiesel, the head of the National Road Safety Authority, when you text while driving, it increases your chances of dying in a car accident by tenfold. But people keep texting. Tragically, since the start of 2019, there have been more deaths on the roads in Israel than there were for the whole year before. Since the start of 2019, 275 people have died on Israel's roads.
When Tevet- Wiesel was asked in a media interview how does Israeli driver differ from the European driver? Her response was, "They are less disciplined, less patient, less courteous and messing with their phones constantly. When asked if the Israeli driver is dangerous, she said, "Not dangerous, but reckless. A driver needs to follow the law and take responsibility for themselves and their kids." In finality, "dangerous" and "reckless" are synonyms when it comes to the enemies of road safety. In spite of the fact that Israel has state of the art roads; it hasn't helped decrease the number of casualties. Many of us who are praying people here have agreed that we never get into a car these days without sending up a prayer for protection on the road from the impatient, the distracted, those who text and drive and the intoxicated. (JNN) Please pray for stiff penalties to be put into place for those who text while driving, for those who speed and endanger other drivers with reckless, rude behavior and those who drive while intoxicated. Pray that both young and old will be aware of road safety.

TOPIC: Divine Inheritance FROM THE POINT OF VIEW OF THE DIVINE FEMININE Sept 1994 by Cherag Regina Coeli McKnight
The Prayer of Request to Tara:
Thinking that all the living beings, extensive as space, are my mothers, and remembering their kindness again and again, bestow your blessings so that I may proceed on the stages of the path, training in love, compassion and Bodhicitta.
As the sun that beholds the world is untouched by earthly impurities, so the Spirit that is in all things is untouched by external sufferings.
There is one Ruler, the Spirit that is in all things, who transforms his own form into many. Only the wise who see him in their souls attain joy eternal. Only the wise who see him in their souls attain peace eternal
Brahman is all in all. He is action, knowledge, goodness supreme. To know him, hidden in the lotus of the heart, is to untie the knot of ignorance.
Our original Buddha-nature is, in all truth, nothing which can be apprehended. It is void, omnipresent, silent, pure. It is glorious and mysterious peacefulness, and that is all which can be said. You yourself must awake to it, fathoming its depths. That which is before you is it in all its entirety and with nothing whatsoever lacking.
We worship Ahura Mazda, who made the living Creation and embodies Asha, which is incarnate in the Clean, and in the Waters, and in the wholesome Plants, in the Stars, and in the Earth, and in all objects that are wholesome and good.
We are the extollers of Good Thoughts, of Good Words, of Good Actions. That, therefore, which we would choose, O Ahura Mazda, is this: that we should think, and speak and do, those Thoughts, and Words and Actions, which are the Best for both the Worlds. And by reason of Thy Cosmic Order, Thy Good Mind and Thy Sovereign Power, we thus proclaim Them and thus make Thee the Bestower of our Light.
The law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul; the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple; the precepts of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes.....More to be desired are these than gold, even much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and the drippings of the honeycomb.
Moreover, in keeping them there is great reward. But who can discern his errors? Clear thou me from hidden faults. Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me!
And he taught them many things by parables. As he taught, he said; ........ "How shall we picture the kingdom of God, or by what parable shall we describe it? It is like the mustard seed, which is smaller than any seed in the ground at its sowing. But once sown, it springs up and becomes greater than all herbs, and shoots out great branches; so that the fowls of the air may lodge under the shadow of it."
Jesus also said, "The Kingdom of God is within you".
Sura 15:
Behold! thy Lord said to the angels: "I am about to create man from sounding clay, from mud moulded into shape. When I have fashioned him in due proportion and breathed into him of My spirit, fall ye down in obeisance unto him."
Among the highest and greatest of the gifts of God is His Revelation, which is the Criterion by which we may judge between right and wrong--between false and true worship, between the Message that comes from God and the forgeries of men, between the real in our eternal Future and the Fancies by which we are misled.
FROM THE GAYAN, VADAN, NIRTAN OF
Hazrat Inayat Khan
The souls of all are from one and the same source, but a soul which is unveiled shines out. Love and light come continually from such souls. We need no proof of it, for it is living; all else is dead in comparison.
Divinity is human perfection and humanity is divine limitation.
How can the unlimited Being be limited? All that seems limited is, in its depth, beyond all limitations

Q: web2py redirect() error HTTP 303 SEE OTHER ive been implementing and testing the codes in the web2py book and it was all working fine until some redirect function emerged in the codes. i apply the exaclty same codes but i always have HTTP 303 error on redirecting .
help me massimo ! per favore

A: HTTP/303 isn't an error, it's a Redirect code that tells the client to GET the URL specified in the LOCATION response header.

A: Hey guys , after some more waiting , i found out the answer. you need to get to http.py in gluon library and change the parameter "how" in the line
"def redirect(location, how=303):"
to "how=307"
i know this is no miracle but wanted to respond still
edit :
well.i just later realised that its all about a faulty import of library
i was importing html and redirect from gluon.http library , and then doing another import from http library. when i removed the "http" import , and leave the "gluon.http" there still , it works , no matter 303 or 307

Former U.S. Attorney Tracy Wilkison Joins FTI Consulting's Cybersecurity Practice
Washington, D.C., Aug. 16, 2022 — FTI Consulting, Inc. (NYSE: FCN) today announced the appointment of Tracy Wilkison, who most recently was U.S. Attorney for the Central District of California, as a Senior Managing Director in the firm's Cybersecurity practice, further enhancing its presence on the West Coast. Her appointment will be effective September 12.
Ms. Wilkison, who will be based in Los Angeles, spent more than 20 years with the U.S. Attorney's Office. She was appointed to serve as U.S. Attorney for the Central District of California in November 2021 after serving as Acting U.S. Attorney since January 2020.
Throughout her time at the U.S. Attorney's Office, Ms. Wilkison prosecuted numerous cyber and intellectual property cases arising from computer hacking, internet fraud, identity theft, cyber stalking, internet piracy, trade-secret theft and the sale of counterfeited trademarked or copyrighted goods. She also led the team that investigated the Sony Pictures Entertainment cyber attack in 2014.
"Cyber-related threats are impacting businesses around the world, and our team is equipped with the knowledge and expertise to tackle these global, large-scale and complex issues," said Anthony J. Ferrante, Global Head of Cybersecurity at FTI Consulting. "Tracy's experience prosecuting cyber crimes at the federal level will be instrumental in helping our clients understand and mitigate risk, while building cyber resilience during a time when cybersecurity is top of mind at every organization."
In her role at FTI Consulting, Ms. Wilkison will leverage her extensive cybersecurity investigative background to help clients address complex investigations and corresponding litigation, improve cyber readiness and bolster incident preparedness and response. Her legal experience will also be an asset to organizations facing compliance, financial crime, money laundering and regulation challenges. In addition to advising clients, Ms. Wilkison will work to further expand the footprint of FTI Consulting's Cybersecurity practice on the West Coast.
Commenting on her appointment, Ms. Wilkison said, "I've worked on numerous high-profile cybersecurity cases, and I'm thrilled to use that experience to help our clients at FTI Consulting combat threats and mitigate cyber risks, which are increasing in frequency and severity. I am excited to join a global team that understands and works together to manage and solve the constantly evolving cybersecurity challenges facing organizations today."
The appointment of Ms. Wilkinson is the most recent in a series of strategic hires in 2022 to enhance FTI Consulting's global Cybersecurity practice.

Lovejoys® is normally fed dry, but do make sure there is always a separate bowl of water available. Alternatively it can be moistened with warm water which will bring out the flavour. You can feed in one meal a day or two. If your dog prefers two feeds a day, we recommend one third in the morning and two thirds in the evening.
See the feeding guide table for the correct amount. We recommend soaking a small amount of food in warm water to soften it first, then gradually reduce the amount of water and introduce fresh dry kibble a little at a time.
If you are feeding Lovejoys® dry food for the first time, the best way to introduce the new food to your dog is to start adding a small amount to their current food. Increase these amounts over the period of a week, whilst reducing the previous food until a complete change is achieved.
These guidelines are not a fixed rule. If you think your dog needs a little longer to get used to their new food, increase the number of days over which you integrate it into their diet.


Holy cow, can you believe Christmas is just a week away?! I am getting super excited, and my kids are counting down the days.
Life has been crazy busy and I didn't have time to share some of my Christmas projects with you. Dang.
Maybe next week? Or after Christmas? Not sure if that works...any way, I do have a fun project from the fall that I shared on My Repurposed Life, where I contribute for the best person ever, Gail!! It is my Pallet Top Table, and I love it.
This is a super easy project, I promise! And who doesn't love things made out of beautiful pallet wood right?
This was another free find off of Craig's List and it has been collecting dust on my back porch (surprise, surprise). As I walked past it one day I realized it would make a perfect little table to go with my wicker furniture makeover for holding drinks or books.
It was pretty wobbly, which is why someone gave it away for free. At least that is my guess, otherwise why would you throw away a cute little upholstered bench for free? It took me a couple minutes to tighten the legs and it was rock solid sturdy. I then unscrewed the seat top.
There was NO WAY I was taking off the upholstery just to reuse the wood, instead I used some scrap plywood, because I had some, thank goodness! I measured it to the seat and cut it with my Ryobi Circular Saw . It fit perfectly!
I had some pallets that I had broken apart, and the wood was just waiting for a project. I thought it would be fun to try a pattern of some sort and eventually decided on triangles. I set my saw to 30 degrees and started cutting. I lined up my triangles on the plywood and cut until it was all covered. Can you see my stack of pallet wood in the back? I still have some left!
I started with my jigsaw and realized it was going to take for-ev-er, so I busted out my Ryobi Circular Saw again and it went really quick.
To cover up my edges I used this scrap wood that happened to be the perfect thickness, love it when that happens. I had gotten it free from a cabinet maker years ago, in fact I still have a ton of wood from that gold mine. I mitered the corners at 45 degrees and glued and nailed the edges on, then sanded the whole thing down to make it smooth.
I almost forgot the base! I sanded it down, wiped it clean, and sprayed it with a half empty can of Rustoleum's Aqua.
Here she is...my cute little pallet top table!
As you would guess, working with pallet wood, it is perfectly Imperfect.
I have this little cutie in the house for now, and I smile every time I see it. It was so glad I tried a simple triangle pattern.
I think you should totally make one, I promise you won't be disappointed! If you don't have a bench to repurpose, why not just add the pallet wood to an existing table? It would be super easy and fun!
Super happy holidays to you all!
I love patterns and think this is super cool! I did a dresser top in a herringbone pattern once. I sanded the top down to level it out a bit and pushed the sawdust into the gaps. Then I put a couple clear coats on top to seal the sawdust in place..
Still love this pallet top table--so charming! Pinning!
The triangle pattern is so awesome! I love each and everyone of your projects, Mindi!
Love the wood patterned top and your transformation is amazing!

"I understand the feelings and sentiments of my friends towards the decision that has been made by the court.
"Nevertheless, I would like to emphasise that the Perikatan Nasional (PN) government will always uphold the principle of the rule of law," he said in a statement here, last night.
Muhyiddin also urge people to respect Najib's right to appeal against the sentence imposed by the court.

A well-organised fridge is important for efficient storage and will also help you minimise food wastage and save money. Here are our expert tips.
A well-organised fridge is important for efficient storage and will also help you to minimise food wastage and save money. Here are 10 hacks for ultimate fridge organisation.
A neat and tidy fridge will ultimately save you money as there will be a significant drop in food wastage, less double ups and it can lead to other time-efficient habits such as better meal planning, quick trips to the supermarket and easier meal prep. Chelsea Smith from The Organising Platform is our go-to guru on all things organisation in the home. We asked Chelsea for her 10 top hacks to ensure your fridge is organised and clean every time you open the fridge door.
Containerise like items and food inside baskets or use clear containers so you can quickly see what's inside.
You want each member of your household to know where to find things, and where to return them once finished with. This will help ensure healthier eating habits.
Meat should be kept inside a plastic container to prevent unwanted drips inside the fridge. Store these containers on the bottom shelf of the fridge.
Store frequently used items that you use most frequently, such as milk, cheese, butter and so on, in the door of the fridge so these items are easily accessible.
Consider investing in fridge crisper drawers to keep fresh produce fresher for longer.
Use non-slip matting to line fridge crispers and avoid bruising of produce.
Use lids and label with masking tape – and be sure to include the date that you stored the produce on the outside of the glass container.
If your fridge door does not have enough space, consider using a lazy Susan – these tools are a great way to store condiments and allow you to see everything at a glance.
Before any shopping trip to the grocery shops, be sure to move older food that is at the back of the fridge towards the front to ensure you use it sooner and to avoid food wastage.
Always wipe out your fridge before your weekly food shop to keep it clean. Once a month at least, take everything out and do a deep clean of the fridge.

1967: Rams Defeat Colts in Climactic Battle for Coastal Division Title
The NFL game in Los Angeles on December 17, 1967 featured a final-week showdown for the Coastal Division crown between the host Los Angeles Rams and visiting Baltimore Colts. Baltimore came into the contest undefeated at 11-0-2 and would win the division outright with a victory. The Rams were a game behind at 10-1-2 and would have the same record as the Colts if they came out winners, which would give them the division title due to a new tiebreaking procedure. With the league having split into four four-team divisions (two per conference), adding a new playoff level as a result, ties for first would no longer result in an extra game being played – the team scoring the most points in the two regular season meetings of the clubs would be awarded first place. Since the Colts and Rams had tied when they met earlier in Baltimore, a win for the Rams would deliver the division title and a spot in the Western Conference Championship game.
Los Angeles had not been to the postseason since 1955 and endured a great deal of mediocrity since then until the arrival of Head Coach George Allen in '66. Allen's specialty was defense, and the Rams had a good one, particularly on the line. DT Roosevelt Grier had been lost to a knee injury in the preseason, but Roger Brown was swiftly obtained from Detroit to take his spot and, together with ends Deacon Jones and Lamar Lundy and DT Merlin Olsen, became part of what was called "the Fearsome Foursome". OLB Maxie Baughan was the leader of an outstanding group of linebackers and, while the backfield was less impressive, it included excellent FS Ed Meador. The offense was conservative but competently directed by QB Roman Gabriel (pictured above), who had good deep receivers in split end Jack Snow and flanker Bernie Casey while FB Dick Bass and HB Les Josephson handled the bulk of the running game.
The Colts were coached by Don Shula and were typically among the league's better teams. QB Johnny Unitas was the key to the pass-oriented offense, as he had been for the past decade, and he had outstanding receivers in flanker Willie Richardson and TE John Mackey. The running game was less effective, but not bad, and the defense was solid, especially at linebacker and in the backfield.
There were 77,277 fans in attendance at the Memorial Coliseum for the showdown. The Rams opened the scoring with a 47-yard field goal by Bruce Gossett, while the Colts put together a 65-yard drive that ended with Johnny Unitas throwing to Willie Richardson for a 12-yard touchdown and Lou Michaels adding the extra point.
Baltimore again reached LA territory, but Michaels missed a 37-yard try for a field goal (his first failure after ten straight successes). On the next play, the Rams came through with a big play to start the second quarter as Roman Gabriel, firing the ball 50 yards in the air, connected with Jack Snow, who got beyond two defenders for an 80-yard TD. Bruce Gossett converted to give the home team a 10-7 lead.
Late in the period, Baltimore advanced deep into LA territory. However, as Unitas dropped back to pass, he was hit by Deacon Jones and his poor throw was intercepted by Ed Meador at the 12, who returned it seven yards. With time running down, Gabriel directed the Rams on an 81-yard drive that concluded with a throw to Bernie Casey for a 23-yard touchdown. Gossett converted and, rather than potentially being behind or tied, Los Angeles took a 17-7 lead into halftime.
Midway through the third quarter, the Rams increased their margin when Gossett booted a 23-yard field goal. The Colts fought back, advancing 61 yards in 15 plays as Unitas converted two third downs with pass completions to Richardson of 19 and 11 yards. But a quarterback draw came up short on another third down deep in LA territory, and the Colts opted for a 14-yard Michaels field goal as the fourth quarter commenced.
The Rams responded with a 67-yard series that essentially clinched the win. Gabriel was successful on all four of his passes including, under a heavy rush, a toss to Casey that then set up a nine-yard touchdown throw to TE Billy Truax. Gossett tacked on the PAT and Los Angeles was ahead by 27-10.
The LA defense took control for the remainder of the contest, harassing Unitas and effectively shutting down the Baltimore offense. FB Dick Bass punctuated the decisive win with a two-yard TD after Unitas was sacked for an eight-yard loss to his four yard line on a fourth down play. The Rams were Coastal Division champions by a final score of 34-10.
LA had the edge in total yards (328 to 262) although the Colts led in first downs (18 to 16). The Rams sacked Unitas seven times, while Baltimore recorded none of Gabriel, and the Colts turned the ball over twice, to one suffered by Los Angeles.
Roman Gabriel was outstanding as he completed 18 of 22 passes for 257 yards and three touchdowns while giving up no interceptions. Billy Truax had 5 catches for 51 yards and a TD and Jack Snow, with the 80-yard touchdown on his lone reception, led the Rams in receiving yards. Bernie Casey contributed 78 yards on his four catches that included a score. Dick Bass topped the LA rushers with 36 yards on 12 carries with one TD and also caught four passes for 27 more yards.
For the Colts, Johnny Unitas was successful on 19 of 31 throws for 206 yards and a TD while being intercepted twice and taking a major battering from the LA front four. TE John Mackey caught 5 passes for 72 yards and Willie Richardson also pulled in 5 for 57 yards and a score. FB Tony Lorick rushed for 39 yards on 13 attempts.
"The crux of our defensive plan for this game was not to allow Unitas enough time to throw the ball, because he can thread the needle in a crowd," explained Coach George Allen.
"The offense put some points on the board early," added Deacon Jones. "And so we were able to dictate to Mr. Unitas what we wanted him to do, and that was pass."
The Rams fell to Green Bay in the Western Conference Championship game by a 28-7 score the following week, a disappointing finish to an outstanding season. They finished second in 1968 before winning another division title in '69, but would never reach the NFL Championship under George Allen. Baltimore came back with a 13-1 season in '68, despite the loss of Johnny Unitas for virtually the entire season, and won the NFL Championship before being monumentally upset by the New York Jets, champions of the AFL, in Super Bowl III. Don Shula, who moved on to Miami in 1970, would get another shot at guiding a team to an undefeated season, and would succeed in '72.
Roman Gabriel ranked third in passing as he threw for 2779 yards and a career-high 25 touchdowns. He was named to the Pro Bowl for the first of three consecutive years. Bernie Casey caught 53 passes for 871 yards (16.4 avg.) and eight touchdowns and was selected to the Pro Bowl for the only time in his career.
It was the Los Angeles defense, in particular "the Fearsome Foursome", that would leave the most enduring memory. The Rams allowed the fewest points in the NFL (196, two less than the Colts) and Deacon Jones and Merlin Olsen were consensus first-team All-NFL selections as well as being named to the Pro Bowl along with Roger Brown, Maxie Baughan, and Ed Meador.

Formerly known as Maples of Ballantrae Lodge and Golf Club.
Apart from the cart paths whoch are awful. Very nice course.
Good course with challenging holes. Greens were in excellent consition considering it is the end of the season. Overall great value. Pace of play was a bit slow but everything else was great.
This is a beautiful golf course and with the friendly staff and good service and amenities, you will not be disappointed. Goflnow sometimes did provide excellent rate. A bit slow this morning but the Marshall is doing a very good jog to speed up the play. Fairways and greens are up to standard and believe in the fall season, the course will be even prettier. Take the time out to enjoy and see whether you can get good rates from Golfnow.
Wish for Repairs to Cart Path before someone gets hurt. Big pot holes and dangerous !!!
Please fix the cart paths as they are dangerous and someone gets hurt and sue the club !!!
The course was okay. I haven't played it in a few years, since it was known as Maple of Ballantrae. After checking in, I wanted to get a sandwich for the course. I was told that they don't make food to go, and that I would have to eat it there. Then I was told they didn't have any bread to make a sandwich. Okay then. I'll go without, and I won't be staying after my round for dinner.
As for the course. It was in okay shape. The ground was a little hard, but that was to be expected due to the heat and the little rain we've had. The cart paths, on the other hand, were terrible. Pot holes and ruts everywhere. Has staff never seen this? How hard is it to grade them once in a while.
Having never played before, we were pleasantly surprised at how great the course was. The day was very enjoyable with no wait for groups in front of us and some nice challenging holes. The greens were also in nice condition.

On Saturday, Trudy met with owners, Peter and Iona Frost-Pennington at Muncaster Castle to learn more about the historic attraction.
As part of the visit, Mrs Harrison was shown key aspects of the Castle before discussing new initiatives and the future plans of the estate.
Today Mrs Harrison will be paying a visit to Cumbrian Heavy Horses.
Mrs Harrison, said: "During English Tourism week it was humbling to see first-hand, the hard work and talent that goes on behind the scenes at one of our most iconic and popular days out.
"During our visit, we enjoyed Roman historic finds, a look in the cellar at the state-of-the-art new geo-thermal heating system in construction, a tour of the Castle's most incredible tapestries and the newly restored Library complete with guilded constellation ceiling - all in a family residence, home to the Pennington's for centuries and that for me, makes Muncaster so special.
Every year more than 60,000 visitors flock to Muncaster Castle, owned by the Pennington family, who have been living at the Castle for over 800 years.
Employing around 60 local people, roles range from curators, foresters, skilled stonemasons and builders, to gardeners, falconers, accountants, cooks and chefs.
Mrs Harrison, added: "I've visited Muncaster Castle all my life, I'm sure all my birthdays involved a most enjoyable trip with family and friends. But my visit last Saturday absolutely blew me away (quite literally as the vulture's wing tips brushed past my hair). Their 'Sky Hunters Bird Show' needs to be experienced, as hawks, eagles, vultures and owls took to the sky in awe-inspiring flights of fancy, perfectly choreographed to music. I was brought to tears, it was so good.
Next month, Mrs Harrison will be chairing a Tourism Roundtable Discussion in a bid to keep talks open surrounding the opportunities that tourism presents for the local economy.
It follows, Copeland Borough Council's Tourism Summit in February which saw key stakeholders come together to showcase the "outstanding" tourism opportunities within the borough.

Q: Haskell - overloading number types I have a simple function defined below:
allZero :: Num a => [a]-> Bool
allZero [] = False
allZero xs = and (map (== 0) xs)

This returns an error message upon loading:

Could not deduce (Num a) arising from the literal `0'

What is the problem with this function? How do I oveload the number 0 to be of any numeric type a?

A: This code compiles once you add an Eq a constraint to allZero. There should be no other issues compiling this code.
allZero :: (Num a, Eq a) => [a]-> Bool
allZero [] = False
allZero xs = and (map (== 0) xs)

As some commenters pointed out, the first case is non-standard, as allZero of [] is typically True. With that definition, the first case becomes redundant.


For the English readers – This is my Danish blog about indoor climate and buildings in general. Hopefully I will have my international blog buildingsoftomorrow.com up and running in a few months.
My passion is the built environment! Sometimes I wonder what I see and hear regarding our buildings. Of course there are the good stories – buildings which are architectural fantastic and a delight for the occupants to stay in. But when you take a step back, you often realize that there is not always an alignment between our initial intentions and what we archive when the building is finished and in function.
I believe the time has come to make sure that our buildings perform well also after five years. No doubt that buildings have become more "technical" and that they rely more and more on the automation of the technical system to fulfill the sustainability, energy and indoor climate goal.
I will like to be a part of the solution! First step: Focus on the end goal of our building which is a safety and a productive built environment.

Home Mexico Report Reynosa, a confusing pandemic panorama
Reynosa, a confusing pandemic panorama
Bill Rovira
REYNOSA, Tamaulipas – As the death toll for COVID-19 increases both in the USA (1.7 million cases and 104,373 deaths) and Mexico (81.400 cases and 8,134 deaths), there is often a disconnect between what is announced as policy at the national capital and what is the reality on the ground in either country.
As Mexico reached level three in the pandemic, a series of directives came down from the national government dictating what were essential businesses and what were non-essential.
Breweries and automotive part manufacturers were closed down as non-essential, to the chagrin of both industries, to the extent that Grupo Modelo, the manufacturer of the Corona, Pacifica and Modelo brands, suspended operations on April 3, but not without some pushback from bars, restaurants and distributors throughout the supply chain.
Initially, it appeared the breweries had obtained an exemption from the Ministry of Agriculture, but that reopening was quickly vetoed by Under-Secretary of Health, Dr Hugo Lopez-Gatell and continued closed until a scheduled June re-opening.
Automotive parts and assembly factories were shut down as early as April 2 in Sonora, even when the state was only reporting 17 cases to date, in part due to strong union contracts in the automotive industry that required 100 percent compensation for laid-off workers in the case of a declared emergency. Meanwhile, most of the maquiladoras in Reynosa continued to work without much disruption until the national government announced Phase 3, the most serious level of coronavirus.
Implementation of those protocols varied within different states. In Tamaulipas, at the same time Mexican shoppers with visas were banned from crossing into the U.S., Mexico implemented health checkpoints where travelers entering from the U.S. were required to wear a mask, have no more than two persons in a vehicle at a time, schools were closed until June 1, restaurants could only provide take out service, automobiles were ordered to stay parked one day per week according to their license plate numbers, and only one person per family was allowed to enter supermarkets, convenience stores, pharmacies or other businesses deemed as essential by the governor.
In some states "dry laws" either prohibited the sale of alcoholic beverages altogether, or restricted the hours they could be purchased. Throughout the country the shutdown of breweries severely restricted the supply forcing shortages, long lines at convenience stores, and the abuse of alcohol manufactured for purposes other than for consumption, such as the alcohol in hand sanitizer.
While the national government and Dr Lopez-Catell predicted that Mexico would soon flatten the curve of COVID-19 infection, the virus began to replicate in the other direction, spurring the health ministry to create a "traffic light" dynamic which would tell a state governor how his state was progressing in terms of COVID-19 new infection rates. This would help in the decision-making process for the reopen dates for schools, government and commerce.
Presently, the virus, far from leveling off, is growing at such a rate that the entire country with the exception of Zacatecas (Orange) is under a Red Light, which means that Level 3 protocols should remain in place. Not a single state in Mexico has reached a level of safety (Green) which justifies reopening non-essential businesses and places of employment. Tamaulipas State just recently published a protocol that basically continues Level 3 measures until July 15, 2020.
Maquiladoras
Exploring the realities of open and/or reopening maquiladoras in Reynosa is an exercise in confusion. Reaching out to friends in Reynosa this reporter hears the following comments:
"They (the Maquiladoras) never closed. They just cut back on hours and made the vulnerable employees take time off," said Cristina Andrade, a mother of two whose insurance business depends heavily on maquiladora employees.
Roberta Soto, a line worker at a local maquiladora that builds commercial communications equipment, said: "They have recently opened several, I think all of them now. I was sent home for 30 days because of medical problems that put me at risk, but I am going back tomorrow. They closed all the maquiladoras for two weeks now they are all open again."
Rosario Juarez, whose family is active in the sector had this to say: "Maquiladoras who make medical supplies, Ericka, Bart, Corning Cable have not closed. Others have worked on staggered shifts with reduced personal. The maquiladoras that are in the automotive sector will be reopening tomorrow."
Maquiladoras completely closing in some states like Sonora and not closing at all in places like Reynosa? If you are confused, join the club. There is no apparent lack of disease in the city bordering McAllen, Mission and Pharr. On May 30, Reynosa General Hospital was closed after health care workers – including 13 nurses, six medical students, two residents, and two technicians – were diagnosed with COVID-19. Two weeks ago this reporter was told by a local physician that some 70 COVID-19 patients were being cared for at the Social Security Specialty Clinic 270 on the highway to San Fernando.
Likewise, on Saturday, units from the State Health Department of Tamaulipas were at the Hidalgo Bridge in Reynosa, checking vehicles coming from Texas to assure that no more than two people were in each car and wearing masks. Non-compliant visitors were being escorted to the lines and forced to return to the U.S.
Mexico has reported 81,400 cases of Coronavirus and 8,134 deaths. The State of Tamaulipas has reported 1,931 cases with 121 deaths. Reynosa has reported 234 cases while Matamoros is at 446.

Billings woman writes a book about addiction through a mother's eyes
For Melanie Schwarz, the nightmare was a recurring one. The shrill sound of her phone would wake her up at night. The Caller ID displayed "unknown caller." She'd pick up the receiver only to hear her intoxicated daughter crying uncontrollably on the other end.
Morgan was in jail. Again. Could her mom bail her out? The memories were so difficult, Melanie eventually cut off her landline so she'd never hear that ring tone again. To this day, she keeps her cell phone on vibrate mode.
"We don't talk about it," Melanie says of her daughter's once spiraling addiction. "I am really hoping that if I talk about it, other people will too."
About two years ago, Melanie started to write down pieces of her story. "There are parts of it that are just heartbreaking," she says. Originally, she thought of creating a blog to connect families who are watching a loved one in the throes of addiction. After she'd penned 13 stories, she decided to share it with Karen Grosz, a woman she respected who'd helped others share their stories.
"She told me, 'Oh Melanie, this isn't a blog. This is a book.'" Melanie adds, "I hired her as my book coach and we spent about two years together right smack in the middle of Covid to today. It was an amazing experience."
"I'm in awe of her bravery and hopeful that her words will help many other families to feel hope that dark days can eventually give way to days of love and laughter," says Karen, who also writes for Yellowstone Valley Woman.
The book, "Lifejackets, a Mother's Journey Through Her Child's Addiction," will be released toward the end of September. "It's a raw book," Melanie says. "The story is about a mom who is clipping along on this journey that's not really hers."
The story begins when Morgan was 18 years old.
"She was in this really bad car accident," Melanie says. A car was T-boned and in the ditch. Lights from the police, fire and ambulance vehicles lit up the intersection at Shiloh Road and Grand Avenue. Thankfully, no one was seriously hurt. "As soon as I got to the police, I could hear her. She is yelling, drunk, angry. It was the first time I saw her like that. She was really gone."
Through it all, Melanie learned how to put on a brave face and keep up appearances in her professional life.
"Nobody would have known that I was up late the night before getting our daughter out of jail, having to go to the pawn shop to get bail money. The next day I would be at work and I would be fine," she says. "I always did it in the vein of saving her. And, that's where the title 'Lifejackets' comes from. If I just get her the right services or we just send her to rehab or we buy her a new car, it was like I was putting a lifejacket on her because I thought I was saving her. But the minute she walked away, she ripped off the lifejacket and threw it out the window."
Over the years, there would be a handful of arrests, a suicide attempt after a tearful goodbye on the phone and eventually, another phone call from a public defender as Morgan landed her fourth DUI charge while in Spokane, Washington. Right before her arrest, Morgan was days away from starting school to become a hairdresser, something she always dreamt about.
"The truth of it was that it was so overwhelming to her to get to do what she wanted, she sabotaged it," Melanie says. "The judge said to her, 'Why are you here?' She said, 'I was supposed to start school on Monday.' The judge said 'Well, I think you should go to school.'" Melanie was shocked. The judge didn't send her to prison but agreed to let Morgan out on probation. She had to go to treatment. If she kept herself clean for five years without trouble, the DUI would be expunged from her record. "I suspect that judge saved her life," Melanie says.
Today, Morgan has been sober more than five years. She's married to a man she dated in high school, who is also in recovery, and she works in Spokane as a barber.
"She loves taking care of people," Melanie says. "One of the things that she said about doing hair is that it is the one thing she says she can do that makes people feel really good about themselves."
Before she wrote the pieces of this story full of denial, relapses and enabling behavior, Melanie made sure to get her daughter's blessing.
"It's a look at someone's addiction from another person's eyes, but I think every mother, especially mothers, will see themselves in it," she says. She's already had readings where she's shared snippets of her book to others affected by addiction.
"That was scary as hell to read that for the first time aloud," she says. And then, she adds, "I would look out and see someone tearing up or crying. It's amazing that you're able to put into words what someone else is feeling."
While writing the book, Melanie left her job as director of business development with Big Sky Economic Development and started her own communications consulting firm. Her two clients — Rimrock Foundation and Substance Abuse Connect — have landed her right in the middle of helping to solve addiction in our community.
"It all just fell in this world of addiction," Melanie says, adding that life just kept pulling her there.
With the book out this fall, Melanie is working on a companion journal and is hoping to speak at rehabilitation facilities, talking directly to families.
She says she wants to tell them, "This isn't your addiction. It's you on this road with them and you aren't changing it. There are dark moments that you need to help them with but you never stop loving them. This experience really brings that home."
In the meantime, she says, the lifejackets have been put away.
"All my lifejackets are in the closet," Melanie says. "I have them. They are still with me but I just don't rush to them anymore. They can fix it on their own and if they want a lifejacket, they can get their own. I'm trying to let that go."
TO PREORDER YOUR COPY of "Lifejackets, A Mother's Journey Through Her Child's Addiction," visit www.lifejacket.club. The book will be published by Balboa Press for release at the end of September.

Cmentarz wojenny nr 327 – Niepołomice – wydzielona kwatera na cmentarzu parafialnym w Niepołomicach.

Według większości źródeł cmentarz był częścią IX okręgu cmentarnego - Bochnia. Głównym architektem tego okręgu był Franz Stark i to prawdopodobnie on zaprojektował pierwotny wystrój cmentarza.

Obecny wygląd cmentarza wojennego jest skutkiem kilku remontów i reorganizacji kwatery z I wojny. W latach 20 cmentarz pełnił rolę cmentarza garnizonowego i chowano na nim żołnierzy polskich służących w garnizonie niepołomickim. W późniejszym okresie na cmentarzu wojennym pojawiło się jeszcze kilka nowych grobów. Układ grobów zmieniał się kilkukrotnie w czasie prowadzonych remontów. Istotne zmiany nastąpiły również podczas ostatniego remontu w latach 90. Wszystkie te działania doprowadziły niemal do całkowitego zatracenia pierwotnego kształtu i wystroju cmentarza. Obecnie trwają starania Gminy Niepołomice o przeprowadzenie kolejnego remontu, zmierzającego tym razem do przywrócenia pierwotnego wystroju cmentarza.
