"I don't think your software will actually help me increase my productivity." What do you do now hotshot? You've just been given an objection that has stopped your sale in it's tracks. Maybe you will just give up, pick up your toys, and go home? How many times does this happen each day when someone is trying to sell something?
"I don't think your software will actually help me increase my productivity." What do you do now hotshot? You've just been given an objection that has stopped your sale in it's tracks. Maybe you will just give up, pick up your toys, and go home?
How many times does this happen each day when someone is trying to sell something?
You don't have to give up, or pick up your toys, or even go home. Your prospect has just given you an objection. This is your time to embrace the objection and find out what's really going on.
I want you to program your mind to think of each objection as your prospect merely saying to you, "I just need more information from you." When you embrace this mindset you be able to more effectively deal with, and possibly overcome the objections.
Here's my disclaimer, nothing works one hundred percent of the time. Do you what you can with my advice. Many times it will work, and sometimes it won't. There are no magic bullets in growing a business, just good systems to follow that keep you on track.
So let's take a look at the three categories of objections. My friend Sean D'Souza was kind enough to organize objections into three categories to help give us a system to classify objections. Sean is the genius behind the psychotactics.com website, go check him out.
The first category of objections is "Perceptions." Perceptions are the way you individually understand or interpret something. Your perceptions do not always equate to facts. You may perceive that something is to expensive and you would not buy it. Another individual may think something is a great deal and buy it immediately.
You can have perceptions about many things when it comes to buying something, and they can sometimes cause you to put up objections to buying.
The second category of objections is "Past Experiences." An example of this may be that the last time you bought a car you had a bad experience at a certain auto dealership. This bad past experience may cause you to object at going back to look at another car there, even though you saw a great deal advertised on a car you like.
The third category of objections is "Need more information." Just like it sounds, you need more information. You could need more financing information, more product information, more information about other people using the product, etc.
If you think about the objections you get when you're selling your product or service, all the objections fall into these three categories.
There are no new objections. The objections you get are the same ones you get all the time, and the same ones everyone else receives also. So it would make sense for you to write them all down on a piece of paper and study them, wouldn't it? After you write them all down, I want you to write down on the same paper a response for each of your objections. After you finish that, you can start working at practicing them.
Each day pick one objection. Have someone give it to you, and then share your answer. After working at this for the next thirty days you will be amazed at how things change for you.
A couple of last tips for you to consider. This process as I have described will work best in the creation of your sales copy. Your sales copy goes on your brochures, your website, your sales letters, etc.
When you get objections in person I will introduce you to a system that I call "Curious Questions." Curious questions are used to help you understand the root cause of the objection in the first place, and put you in a better place to handle the real objection.
So to wrap this up, write down all your objections. Then write down answers to all of the them, and then be preemptive in all of your one-way sales communications.

Q: MySQL Select statement with where condition and inner join I am using Geodesic Solutions. I need help with a query since I'm making an addon.
The tables in my database that I need to query are
geodesic_leveled_field_value_languages
 -id
 -language_id
 -name

geodesic_leveled_field_value
 -id
 -leveled_id
 -parent
 -leveled_field
 -enabled
 -display_order

My Sql Statement is
$sqlSelect = "SELECT geodesic_leveled_field_value_languages.name AS \"FieldName\", geodesic_leveled_field_value.leveled_field AS \"FieldLevel\" FROM `geodesic_leveled_field_value` INNER JOIN `geodesic_leveled_field_value_languages` on geodesic_leveled_field_value.id = geodesic_leveled_field_value_languages.id";

I want it to return only the Names (from geodesic_leveled_field_value_languages table) for a specific leveled_value (in geodesic_leveled_field_value table)
I've also tried the following query but no luck
 $sqlSelect = "SELECT geodesic_leveled_field_value_languages.name AS \"FieldName\", geodesic_leveled_field_value.leveled_field AS \"FieldLevel\" FROM `geodesic_leveled_field_value` where geodesic_leveled_field_value.leveled_field = 2 INNER JOIN `geodesic_leveled_field_value_languages` on geodesic_leveled_field_value.id = geodesic_leveled_field_value_languages.id";

A: The sql will look something like this:
SELECT
    gl.name
FROM
    geodesic_leveled_field_value_languages gl
    INNER JOIN geodesic_leveled_field_value gv ON gv.id = gl.id
WHERE
    gv.level='required level value'

NOTE: This sql assumes that the level column is the column you want to filter data with and also assumes that both tables are connected with the id fileds.
You were missing the select clause where you specify each column from which table you want to return and you were missing the where condition that specifies what to return based in a filter criteria
You can learn more about sql.where clause in the following link
https://www.w3schools.com/sql/sql_where.asp
Note that gl and gv are aliases.
You can find out more about aliases on the url
https://www.w3schools.com/sql/sql_alias.asp

A: This has nothing to do with tying
You know your database and should know which fields build a relationship.
Further you can also use aliases for the tables, that will in future save you some time.
Also you can use between two double quotes a single quote or vice versa
the field leveled_field  in yr query is not in any of the two tables, so i am gusssing you meant the level
$sqlSelect = "SELECT gvl.name AS 'FieldName', gv.level AS 'FieldLevel' FROM `geodesic_leveled_field_value`  gv INNER JOIN `geodesic_leveled_field_value_languages` gvl on gv.id = gvl.id WHERE gv.level > 5;"

A: I solved my problem with the following query,
$sqlSelect = "SELECT geodesic_leveled_field_value_languages.name FROM `geodesic_leveled_field_value` INNER JOIN `geodesic_leveled_field_value_languages` on geodesic_leveled_field_value.id = geodesic_leveled_field_value_languages.id and geodesic_leveled_field_value.leveled_field = 2";

Basically I just added an AND statement after ON clause.
It selects the data from the two tables based on both the ON clauses.

25th April 2015- Championship, Brighton & Hove Albion 0 Watford 2
Goal: 1 2
Because the game was played at 12.15pm we had to wait for the 3pm kick offs to finish before it was confirmed we'd been promoted. The players found out whilst on the coach going back to Watford.
Watford clinched promotion to the Premier League after they beat Brighton and other results went their way.
Middlesbrough slumped to a 4-3 defeat at Fulham and Norwich could only draw 1-1 at Rotherham, sealing Watford's return to the top flight after an eight-year absence.
Watford's lunchtime win on the south coast put them four points clear of the chasing pack thanks to Troy Deeney's first-half goal and a stoppage time second from the substitute Matej Vydra.
Football is about waiting for moments that might never arrive, about playing them through in your imagination over and over, about being there to see if it happens…and then finding Matej Vydra taking what seems like an age to control the ball, threatening to let that moment slip away, and then sliding it calmly into the bottom corner before the whole world turns yellow and red and inside out and upside down.
The Watford Observer produced a supplement marking the Hornets promotion which included several pictures from the game and the celebrations that followed.

25th April 2009- Championship, Coventry City 2 Watford 3
Watford battled back from two down to secure a dramatic victory in a five-goal thriller at the Ricoh Arena.
"One day Lloydy will score". Well it should have been today… after one cut inside and dragged shot ride, the sort of thing that's become almost passé over recent weeks, we suddenly had Lloydinho following up (following up!!!) Priskin's first half shot. Not quite an empty net but the keeper was grounded, almost predictably Doyley's excitement got the better of him and the shot went over. Probably a good thing, not sure I could have taken the excitement.

The past few years have seen a growth in cryptoassets. While the cryptoasset market remains small relative to that of the global financial system, and banks currently have very limited direct exposures, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) is of the view that the continued growth of cryptoasset trading platforms and new financial products related to cryptoassets has the potential to raise financial stability concerns and increase risks faced by banks.
While cryptoassets are at times referred to as "cryptocurrencies", BCBS is of the view that such assets do not reliably provide the standard functions of money and are unsafe to rely on as a medium of exchange or store of value. Cryptoassets are not legal tender, and are not backed by any government or public authority.
This current communication sets out BCBS' prudential expectations related to banks' exposures to cryptoassets and related services, for those jurisdictions that do not prohibit such exposures and services.
Due diligence: Before acquiring exposures to cryptoassets or providing related services, a bank should conduct comprehensive analyses of the risks noted above. The bank should ensure that it has the relevant and requisite technical expertise to adequately assess the risks stemming from cryptoassets.
Governance and risk management: The bank should have a clear and robust risk management framework that is appropriate for the risks of its cryptoasset exposures and related services. Given the anonymity and limited regulatory oversight of many cryptoassets, a bank's risk management framework for cryptoassets should be fully integrated into the overall risk management processes, including those related to anti-money laundering and combating the financing of terrorism and the evasion of sanctions, and heightened fraud monitoring.
Given the risk associated with such exposures and services, banks are expected to implement risk management processes that are consistent with the high degree of risk of cryptoassets. Its relevant senior management functions are expected to be involved in overseeing the risk assessment framework. Board and senior management should be provided with timely and relevant information related to the bank's cryptoasset risk profile. An assessment of the risks described above related to direct and indirect cryptoasset exposures and other services should be incorporated into the bank's internal capital and liquidity adequacy assessment processes.
Disclosure: A bank should publicly disclose any material cryptoasset exposures or related services as part of its regular financial disclosures and specify the accounting treatment for such exposures, consistent with domestic laws and regulations.
Supervisory dialogue: The bank should inform its supervisory authority of actual and planned cryptoasset exposure or activity in a timely manner and provide assurance that it has fully assessed the permissibility of the activity and the risks associated with the intended exposures and services, and how it has mitigated these risks.
The Committee continues to monitor developments in cryptoassets, including banks' direct and indirect exposures to such assets and will in duecourse clarify the prudential treatment of such exposures to appropriately reflect the high degree of risk of cryptoassets. It is coordinating its work with other global standard setting bodies and the Financial Stability Board.
BCBS also noted that cryptoassets differ from central bank digital currencies, and accordingly so does their view on CBDC.

Q: OpenGL - Pass on the output of multiple programs to a new texture How do I pass on the data drawn to a frame buffer to a new openGL program or texture?
Use case of what I am doing now:

*

*Creating a texture from a UIImage

*Passing it on as a uniform sampler2D by binding it as a GL_TEXTURE_2D and processing it

*Switch program and render for example a vignette on top of the image

*Switch program and render various graphics on top of that

This all works fine. The problem is that from here I would like to process all of the above using additional OpenGL shaders. Example a brightness/contrast filter. Not just for the image but to all of the added graphics and vignette. Once that has been added, I'd like to pass that to additional optional programs and so on.
But how is this done? I know I can read it back as a Texture Cache or using glReadPixels() and create a new texture to pass on but surely there is a better and more efficient way? One that uses GPU memory entirely?

A: What you want to do is render something directly into a texture instead of the display framebuffer. This in turn is exactly what Framebuffer Objects (FBOs) are for. An FBO represents a complete framebuffer with all its sub-buffers (like multiple color buffers, a depth buffer, a stencil buffer, or a subset of those), but with the functionality to attach custom data containers (like renderbuffers or textures) as individual buffers and thus render directly into some GPU memory region controlled by you. For a tutorial on those see here or here for some more "official" and complete information (though the latter might also discuss features of modern desktop GL versions not present in ES), or here and here for some more ES related information (which shouldn't be much different from desktop GL, though)

A: you'll need to use framebuffer objects, which allow you to render to a render target other than the default framebuffer, e.g. a 2D texture.
here some sites where you can read more about them:

This video posted on YouTube shows a muttawa (religious police) jumping on the back of a Briton during a violent confrontation at the parking lot of a shopping mall in Riyadh on Friday, August 29, 2014. According to reports posted on the social network, quoting a letter by British man Peter Howarth Lees, he and his wife were confronted by three young members of the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice (Haia) when they fell in line before a cashier for families at a supermarket inside the mall. Even after he and his Saudi wife, Abeer, explained that they were a couple the Haia men followed them to their car in the parking lot and started taking pictures of their car. He said the Haia men became violent when he also took pictures of them and their patrol car for protection in case they did something untoward. The three men attacked him, prompting his wife to get out of the car and pushed them back. Then, as shown in the short video clip, one of the Haia men jumped from a car on the Briton's back but his alert wife hit back at the man, who was then restrained by mall security and bystanders. "At this point the man managed to kick my wife in the stomach before I got her to the other side of the car to get her inside. As I was getting her into the car, another person (a member of the public seemingly incited by the Hai'a or simply carried away with the violence) jumped on our hood and roof and then karate kicked me in the neck and I fell again. I then got up from the ground again and bundled my wife back into the car, got in myself and locked the doors," Lees said in his letter. He said the Haia men, however, would not allow the driver to get in until Lees surrendered the mobile phone he used to take pictures of his attackers. A police patrol responded to the couple's call for help, only to leave without doing anything when they saw that the attackers were muttawas. It was only when security officers from the British Embassy came that the Haia men left. A report by the Arabic paper Al Hayat says the case is now under investigation, while Lees said police officers apparently requested by the Embassy came later to take his statement and that of his wife. The attack had been denounced by many Saudis and expatriates in social media networks.


ALFREDO MORELOS apologised to his own club and fans for getting sent off in the Glasgow Derby on Sunday. However, this looks like it was just a 'save face' apology written up by someone at the club after Alfredo Morelos went over the club's head and spoke to Columbin radio.
In the explosive interview the troubled striker claims he didn't touch Scott Brown, branding him a cheat and also questioning the role of the officials in the decision to send him off after the incident.
"I always come into contact with the Celtic captain and I've always had strong contact with him and its always been like that.
Does this sound like a man who is sorry for his actions or taking responsibility for what he did on the field?
A four match ban has been handed down to the Colombian but might the SFA take exception to their officials coming under attack.
The assistant referee clearly saw it and drew the referees attention to it. All this rewriting of what happened is to suit the apologist in Moreorless. Let's face it if that happened to the wean Jack, or big mouth Halliday, they would have gone to hospital to be checked over. I am glad he is seen for what he is, A WEE THUG.
All season he's been kicking, hacking, pushing, grabbing, and fighting with opponents. It's supposed to be about football, NOT Moreorless!!!


Am just wondering if it might be possible to create a sub-directory in the "Technology" folder dedicated to operating system news - such as forthcoming updates, problems, enhancements etc.
Over the last few weeks and months I have been posting such IT news items in the Technology thread, which is fine, but because these items are not technically related to technology perhaps another folder might be more appropriate in order to keep such items relevant and contained items in its own little area.
At the moment I'm not sure there's enough demand, but I'll certainly keep an eye out on developments. You're supposed to be relaxing in the peace and quiet, anyway.

CSAC Executive Director Matt Cate testifies Wednesday about the impacts to counties of the unwinding of the IHSS MOE and Coordinated Care Initiative.
Continuing on last week's initial budget discussions in the Senate, this week Assembly Budget Subcommittee No. 1 discussed the unwinding of the Coordinated Care Initiative and the In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) Maintenance of Effort (MOE).
CSAC Executive Director Matt Cate testified Wednesday before the Assembly Budget Subcommittee No. 1 on the dire impacts counties will be facing on July 1 as the state shifts more than $620 million in IHSS costs to counties. Cate explained to the Subcommittee that the "$623 million has hit us in the face, and I cannot say that we are at terms with it. It feels too large for us to be able to handle and it will take years to be able to deal with that even in the current year."
Registration is now open for the 2017 CSAC Legislative Conference, scheduled for May 17-18 in Sacramento. With the Governor set to issue his May Revision to the January budget proposal just a few days before the conference begins, attendees will have a clearer picture of California's fiscal condition and how that will impact California counties, including the IHSS cost shift and transportation funding.
CSAC First Vice President and Kern County Supervisor Leticia Perez discusses the importance of the CSAC Regional Meeting on water taking place today in her county.
In a matter of months, California has gone from one of the most severe droughts in recorded history to some of the most significant flooding in three decades. Water is vital to the whole state, but the Central Valley in particular relies on a water supply that is not nearly as stable as it could be. That's why CSAC chose to focus attention on water with a regional meeting in Kern County today.
Senate Bill 1 by Senator Jim Beall (D-San Jose) continues to move through the legislative process, clearing another committee this week. The bill, which would provide more than $6 billion a year to fix and maintain California's crumbling roads and bridges, passed out of the Senate Governance and Finance Committee on Wednesday. It needs to also pass through the Senate Appropriations Committee before going to the Senate Floor.

Napa County is about two thirds of the way through the multi-year, multi-project flood control program – and it has already reduced the threat of flooding in the City of Napa and become a nationally recognized collaborative model for approaching multi-agency, multi-purpose public works projects.

Bless the Beasts and Children is a 1971 film adaptation of the novel of the same name written by Glendon Swarthout. It was directed by Stanley Kramer and stars Bill Mumy and Barry Robins.

Plot

The central characters in Bless the Beasts and Children are six adolescent boys, whose preoccupied parents send them off to the Arizona Box Canyon Boys Camp for the summer. John Cotton (Barry Robins) leads this bunch of "misfits" who are all, to varying degrees, emotionally or psychologically disturbed.  Cotton's group, composed of rejects and outcasts from the other cabins, is known as the "Bedwetters" and the boys are constantly demeaned and ridiculed, which inevitably crushes what little self-esteem they might otherwise have possessed in the first place.

Cotton, through trial and tribulation, becomes the leader of this tight-knit group, and he sets out to mold his followers into a unit that commands respect rather than derision. His is obviously a formidable task in view of the fragile psychological state of the small group, which includes two warring dysfunctional brothers who are known as "Lally 1" and "Lally 2". Lally 1 reacts to threats against his emotional security by throwing violent temper tantrums, often directed at his younger brother Lally 2, who in the face of these attacks plunges himself into a fantasy world that is filled with tiny creatures he calls "Ooms", and seeks solace in the scorched foam rubber pillow he always carries.

Lawrence Teft III (Billy Mumy) is shown in the film as quiet and sullen, but whenever he is confronted with authority, he turns rebellious. Before he came to camp, one of Teft's favorite adventures had been stealing cars, but because of the "connections" of his father, Lawrence Teft Jr., he was never arrested for any of his offenses. Hoping that he will learn some self-discipline which will make him worthy of attending Exeter or Dartmouth, his parents enroll him in the camp.

Cotton's group also includes Sammy Shecker, an overweight, paranoid Jewish boy, whose father is a successful comedian who trades upon the Jewish stereotype. Sometimes to the annoyance of the other boys, Sammy mimics his father's routines, he compulsively bites his nails, and he is loud, nervous, and obnoxious. The designation "Bedwetters" applies especially well to Gerald Goodenow, the sixth member of the group, who often wets the bed at night – a behavior that had resulted in his having been ejected from two cabins before Cotton takes him in tow. Bedwetting, however, seems to be the least of Gerald's problems, as he suffers from a phobic reaction to school, which results in several unsuccessful sessions with a psychiatrist. Goodenow is also handicapped by a heavy-handed stepfather who is determined to make a man out of him, by physical force if necessary.

Kramer and his screenwriter Mac Benoff decided to compromise Swarthout's time sequence by having the entire film set in the present with flashbacks into the past of all the boys, to explicate their presence at the camp. Whereas Swarthout's novel – thematically powerful though it is – is episodic and difficult for some sixth-graders to follow, the Kramer film flows almost faultlessly to its tragic conclusion. The plight of the American buffalo and any other endangered species is at the center of the film's focus. Almost predictably, the dysfunctional group, under Cotton's guidance, set out to free a large herd of the bison after they witness their perverted macho camp counselor, "Wheaties", shooting the animals in a festive (and deeply disturbing) western lottery, which is given validation as a proper method to thin out the large numbers by eliminating the "weak" or "sick" buffalo. The buffalo are not the only targets of this destructive urge, as the Bedwetters – similarly – have also been "tamed", "penned" and crushed in spirit. As a result of their parents' neglect or abuse, they have all been reduced to psychological misfits. Ridiculed and rejected by the other boys in the camp, they are forced to cling even more strongly to their deviant behavior. The boys' pilgrimage to free the buffalo is also an allegorical search for their own freedom.

Cotton perceives that success will free the boys of psychological crutches and allow each to stand alone in defense of self. Cotton sacrifices his life not only for the buffalo but for the boys he has led to this one miraculous triumph. The implication at the end of the film is that the remaining boys are no longer "dings" or "weirdos", as they have all gained a sense of pride in their abilities and have saved themselves, as well as the buffalo, from extinction. The title of the film (and novel) exemplifies the dual yet unified nature of the theme. Both beasts and children need to be free to roam, to develop and to discover, but the freedom that is given to the buffalo at the film's conclusion is worthless because their very natures have been altered by man. Outside the fence of the preserve, the tame buffalo will never find wild plains and grasslands on which to roam and their natural habitat, along with their natural spirit, has been destroyed. The children, however, have regained their spirit and independence and eventually they will triumph over the fear instilled in them by their parents and society. But it is conspicuous that they will require the love and compassion of others.

Production and reception
A bidding war broke out over the film rights, which Stanley Kramer eventually won. Kramer negotiated with Columbia Pictures for the right to produce and direct the film, which made its world premiere at the Berlin Film Festival in August  1971, as the United States's entry in the international competition. Kramer later commented on Soviet reception of the film, stating that they "viewed [the film] as a preachment against Kent State and My Lai," when he had envisioned more of a statement about the "gun cult" in America and how "easy availability of weapons contributes to violence."

Awards and nominations

Soundtrack and score
The music for the film was composed by Barry De Vorzon and Perry Botkin Jr. Their score included an instrumental selection titled "Cotton's Dream", which was later rescored to become the theme song of the soap opera The Young and the Restless, produced by Columbia's television division, now Sony Pictures Television. In late July or early August 1976, when ABC's sports summary program Wide World of Sports produced a montage of Romanian gymnast Nadia Comăneci's routines during the 1976 Summer Olympics and used "Cotton's Dream" as the background music, the song became more popular; it was subsequently released in a re-edited and lengthened form as "Nadia's Theme", the title under which it became best known. (Comăneci herself never performed her floor exercises using this piece of music, however.) De Vorzon and Botkin Jr. also wrote lyrics for "Cotton's Dream," but no vocal version of it was known to have charted . The film's soundtrack also contains its theme song, performed by The Carpenters. The theme was released as the B side of The Carpenters' single "Superstar", which reached #2 on Billboard's Hot 100.

I honestly can't believe I am sitting here writing this.
I really can't.
However because of the fact that the media coverage of some cop slinging a young girl around in a classroom has become a major news story, I am annoyed enough to do so.
In case you don't know what I'm talking about, apparently a policeman was called into a classroom to remove an unruly student with a cell phone. He lost his shit on her, and ended up slinging her all over the place in order to remove her.
I'm not getting into the debate about his behavior. The issue now, that the media is running with, is that his rage was caused, or possibly caused, by creatine.
And here we fucking go again.
This reminds me of the witch hunt done with ephedrine years ago.
In case you don't remember why or when it was banned, there was a similar kick off (pun intended here) due to the death of an NFL player named Korey Stringer. Who died of heatstroke after practice.
Ephedrine was found in his locker, but actually wasn't in his system when the autopsy was done. These facts of course, did not keep the media from their ensuing witch hunt to make it appear as if taking ephedrine was right on par with free basing cocaine in regards to your health.
Completely ignoring the fact that at that time, millions of people took ephedrine for weight loss without any serious health issues. Me being one of them.
Stringer died in 2003. Ephedrine was banned in 2004 after the media ramrodded us with story after story of teens basically taking ephedrine and making it appear as if they all suddenly dropped dead faster than a Cambodian villager captured by the Khmer Rouge.
Never fucking mind that ephedrine was used for thousands of years by the Chinese. However this didn't stop the New England Journal of Medicine to essentially declare ephedrine unsafe based on a total of...brace yourselves...10 deaths related to it over a two years span.
Ten. Over two years.
Do you know how many die each year from a vending machine falling on top of them?
Around 10-13.
About 11 people die each year from firework accidents.
Can someone tell me why people are still allowed to get Skittles from the vending machine at work, but can't run down to the GNC and grab some old school Ripped Fuel? Because this confuses me.
For anyone who says the media doesn't have power in regards to our freedom, you are either willfully ignorant or flat out stupid. They are the driving force in most cases behind how and why OTC supplements end up being off the counter supplements.
But fuck that, let's really shed some light on things.
"It has been estimated conservatively that 16,500 NSAID-related deaths occur among patients with rheumatoid arthritis or osteoarthritis every year in the United States. This figure is similar to the number of deaths from the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome and considerably greater than the number of deaths from multiple myeloma, asthma, cervical cancer, or Hodgkin's disease. If deaths from gastrointestinal toxic effects from NSAIDs were tabulated separately in the National Vital Statistics reports, these effects would constitute the 15th most common cause of death in the United States. Yet these toxic effects remain mainly a "silent epidemic," with many physicians and most patients unaware of the magnitude of the problem. Furthermore the mortality statistics do not include deaths ascribed to the use of over-the-counter NSAIDS." (Wolfe M. MD, Lichtenstein D. MD, and Singh Gurkirpal, MD, "Gastrointestinal Toxicity of Nonsteroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs", The New England Journal of Medicine,a June 17, 1999, Vol. 340, No. 24, pp. 1888-1889.)
16,500 deaths. Related to NSAID drugs.
No witch hunt.
10 deaths over 2 years from ephedrine...a drug used for thousands of years in a safe and effective manner. Completely unsafe and kills teens faster than Jason does at Camp Crystal Lake.
Now, and don't take this lightly, there will be another long hard look at creatine. Because this is how our politicians should be using out time and money. To look at supplements that have been proven through countless studies to be safe and effective, and determine if they should remove them off the shelves.
And they would be doing so because why?
Creatine rage.
Sit down, take a deep breath, exhale, and let that sink in for a minute.
Creatine...fucking...rage.
I don't want to get too sciency here but let's look at what creatine is, or does in your body when you take it.
Creatine, once ingested (I assume he hadn't gone full creatine injection route and was shooting it up...that's sarcasm) arrives at the muscle cells and gets converted into creatine phosphate. Creatine phosphate then gets broken down into ATP which is used during short, explosive muscular contractions.
Once ATP is depleted, your body will then convert glycogen stored in the muscle to make more ATP.
The conversion of glycogen to ATP is much longer than that of creatine phosphate to ATP. This is why using creatine, which creates a larger pool of creatine phosphate to be created to ATP, works so well in regards to increasing strength.
Creatine is nothing more than a supplement that gets converted into a fuel used by the body for contractile power.
The chance of someone having "rage" from taking creatine is the same as someone having rage from carb loading from eating too many doughnuts. There is literally no physiological link between creatine and it having the ability to make people angry.
Gotta get that creatine fix by any means necessary
We're talking creatine here, people. Not halotestin. Not PCP.
This of course won't stop people from using "I did a creatine load the night before I killed my family" excuse to justify or rationalize their actions and behaviors. And of course, if this ever reaches congress due to the media having nothing better to do than cover the Kardashians, then it is possible that just like in the death of Stringer, it could get pulled off the shelves due to it possibly having the potential to cause good cops to beat up high school students, and people to go on homicidal rampages. Nevermind the fact that millions of people use creatine every year without beating the shit out of their family or roommates. That won't matter. What will matter is people will need an excuse for their shitty behavior and a scapegoat will be found for it.
In the meantime, people won't actually take the time out to look at the fact that creatine is the most studied OTC supplement of all time, and that it's never once been found to be anything but safe and effective at what it's supposed to do. No, what they will do is see this cop yanking around a kid in school and go "Johnnie, you can't take creatine. It causes rage and homicidal behavior."
I wish that was a scenario made up in my head, but that conversation is going to happen at sometime, somewhere in a GNC store in the near future.

I think creatine's safe from a witch hunt, because of recent neonatal research in preventing both muscular and neural disorders.

It seems like humanity hasn't really moved forward since the middle ages,where here in the UK we appointed "Witch finder generals" to hunt down and execute suspected witches based on the fact the said witch administered a clove of garlic to someone to help relieve a cold.
When i hear stories like the "Creatine cop" and its ensuing possible effects,i lose hope for mankind and our system i general.

There is no method even manually to unload a sheet other than closing the drawing and reopening in quick view mode.


Thank you to Kim Hudson with Fox 2 in St. Louis for inviting us on their morning show to discuss Röbller wine, including the bicentennial wine created for Franklin County, Missouri. Learn more about the 1818 Franklin County Reserve here.
NEW HAVEN, Mo. (March 1, 2019) –– Röbller Vineyard will unveil its Franklin County commemorative bicentennial wine — the 1818 Franklin County Reserve — at the Franklin County Bicentennial Opening Ceremony, to be held at East Central College John Anglin Performing Arts Center on Saturday, March 9 at 2 p.m.
Röbller's 1818 Franklin County Reserve is the result of a three-year project by winemaker Jerry Mueller. Mueller, a member of the Franklin County Bicentennial committee, undertook the creation of the special vintage to honor the county's heritage. As the oldest vineyard growing Norton in Franklin County, estate-producer Röbller Vineyard's own land grant and history match closely with Franklin County's historical timeline, creating a special tie for the winery to the project.
According to Mueller, the Norton was the only choice for the bicentennial wine, a fitting tribute to honor the friendship between Thomas Jefferson, who helped develop Norton in the New World, and Benjamin Franklin, the county's namesake. Missouri's state grape and the only true native wine-grape of the New World has been in existence as long as Franklin County.
Röbller's Norton vines have been growing for more than 25 years. Mueller says that vine maturity and Röbller's dry farming process created the foundation for the Norton's quality and consistency. He chose extended barreling time for the 1818 Franklin County Reserve to achieve a premium level of complexity and balance.
After the unveiling, the 1818 Franklin County Reserve will be available at Röbller Vineyard, located at 275 Robller Vineyard Road, New Haven, Missouri.
Franklin County will continue to commemorate their bicentennial with a series of special events and projects now through December 2019. The March 9th opening ceremony will be held at East Central College John Anglin Performing Arts Center, 1964 Prairie Dell Road, Union, Missouri, at 2 p.m. Admission is free to the general public.

Organizations everywhere are worried about the next big cybersecurity breach. A breach can compromise sensitive data, erode confidence in an organization's brand, knock the network out of commission, and result in lost productivity and millions of dollars in revenue.
Meanwhile, malware is more sophisticated than ever, and cybercriminals are unrelenting in their attacks. The IT team deploys a firewall in hopes of preventing these attacks, but it lacks the deep visibility into their systems needed to detect stealthy threats and stop them before damage can be done.
In the face of these challenges, the IT team has limited resources, staff, and time. They're overwhelmed by too many alerts from their firewall and other security tools. and feel like they're just playing whack-a-mole with threats.
What if your firewall could prevent breaches and stop the stealthiest attacks, all while maintaining optimal network performance and uptime?

By USLSoccer.com Staff, 02/23/18, 1:58AM EST
Johnson Consulting becomes the Official Stadium Assessment Supplier across all league properties
TAMPA, Fla. – The United Soccer Leagues, LLC, today announced Johnson Consulting as its Official Stadium Assessment Supplier. Johnson Consulting will be an official supplier for all related properties, including the United Soccer League – one of the most prominent Division II professional leagues in the world – USL's Division III, the Premier Development League (PDL) and the Super Y League. Financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed.
"Johnson Consulting will be a great resource to our clubs as they look to expand, update or build their venues," USL President Jake Edwards said. "The increase of soccer-specific venues in the league, which helps deliver an unforgettable match-day experience for players and fans, has contributed to the heightened fan interest with the USL, which exceeded two million fans in attendance in 2017. Currently, 12 clubs in the USL play in soccer-specific venues, with plans in place for more to open over the next three years as part of the League's Destination 2020 strategic growth plan."
Within the soccer world, Johnson Consulting has previously worked with New York City FC and D.C. United of Major League Soccer, among others on stadium plans. Additionally, Johnson Consulting has worked on numerous major league and professional facilities throughout its 21 years of operations, including: Scottrade Center (St. Louis), American Airlines Center (Dallas), Fenway Park (Boston), Lambeau Field (Green Bay) and Nationwide Arena (Columbus).

Over the next five years, the USL will oversee the expansion of an estimated 30–40 new franchises at the second and third divisions of professional soccer, creating numerous opportunities for potential suppliers and vendors to support this growth. For many of these new and current franchises, Johnson Consulting will serve as an invaluable resource as USL clubs continue to build soccer-specific stadiums.
Through its Preferred Supplier Program, the USL will connect suppliers with both new franchise owners and existing USL clubs looking to deliver the best possible experience for fans.
