I'm quick to say "I've lost 79 pounds (and still counting)." I'm quick to say how many meals I've gone without eating any bread (over 1,500!) and I'm quick to share the fact that I don't take any supplements or weight loss meal replacements.
…but there are a handful of embarrassing aspects of my weight loss journey that I'm honestly embarrassed to admit.
So this is it, confession time. It's time for me to come clean and admit these things just to get them off my chest. They say once you admit it, you'll be free. So let's see how this goes!
Don't Take That Picture!! – I'm embarrassed to say I never wanted my picture taken where my body was showing. My belly was HUGE and while I didn't mind my chubby cheeks showing in a picture, I didn't want anyone to see just how big my midsection was.
Almost 400 Pounds – I always say I was close to 400 pounds before I started my weight loss journey. The embarrassing part is I weighed more than my scale could measure and I had to go weigh at the doctors office with a medical scale in order to know how much I weighed.
Say Cheese – People would always tell me what a great smile I had, but I'm embarrassed to admit that it was fake. When I weighed almost 400 pounds I was not happy. Matter of fact, my life was a living hell. I had zero motivation, zero drive, zero ambition. When someone said "Say cheese" I'd always think of queso. It's embarrassing to admit that I was not happy.
Embarrassed To Lose Weight – When I decided to lose weight, I was embarrassed to admit I was doing something about my weight. I felt like I was admitting that something was wrong with me and that I felt like I wasn't good enough as I was. I was fearful that people would roll their eyes at the fat guy who was in a hopeless situation.
Digestive Issues – After having my Gall Bladder removed I had to stay close to a bathroom at all times. After eating, my stomach would erupt without fail. This was incredibly embarrassing and I never mentioned this problem to anyone. When I started keto, this problem resolved itself (for the most part) and then I became incredibly "backed up." I'm a Southern Gentleman, and it's not proper to talk about digestive issues. But crap… these issues are real!
That's Gross Looking! – My plan was to lose weight slowly in order to prevent stretch marks from occurring. However, the front of my belly has major stretch marks from my belly shrinking. It's rather embarrassing, and I know it's part of major weight loss, but it's not pretty to look at and I feel like it will always remind me that I was incredibly overweight. Maybe I should admit I'm embarrassingly vain, too?
I'm Fat – Just straight up, I'm embarrassed about being fat. It's obvious proof that I did not take care of myself or take my health seriously. Even though I'm embarrassed by it, there's no hiding it. I can't put on a skinny coat or a healthy overlay that makes me look skinny or healthy. And even though I'm proud of the past year's accomplishments, it's embarrassing looking in the mirror and seeing that I had neglected myself for so long.
I Don't Enjoy Pushing Myself – The more I've put my story and journey on social media, the more people tell me that I've inspired them. While I am very honored by that, it also makes me feel like a fake in some way. I do not like pushing myself out of my comfort zones. It's not fun, enjoyable or easy for me. My place of comfort seems to be the couch. Am I pushing myself? Absolutely!! …but I'm embarrassed to admit I don't enjoy it.
5 Guys For The Win! – I'm embarrassed to admit the extreme level to which I love cheeseburgers. Part of the reason I choose keto was because it allowed me to eat bunless burgers. Not only embarrassing, but I feel it's rather ironic that I chose a nutrition plan that incorporates food items that were part of the reason I weighed so much to begin with. I still eat at "5 Guys" at least once per week – but at least I'm losing weight with those delicious burgers (in a bowl) now!
Is The Scale Broke?? – I've lost 79 pounds slowly and steady, and everyone says that's the healthy way to do it, but there were times when the scales stopped moving, and I was embarrassed by this because I felt like people were looking at me thinking "I knew he wouldn't last" or point to someone else and say "they are loosing more than he is."I'm embarrassed by the plateaus on an external level because I care too much what others think. Internally, I know I'm doing the right things, eating the right foods and feeling a ton better… and that ultimately is what is important.
Mentioning what I've been embarrassed about is my way of letting you know that you're not alone. These embarrassing aspects of being on a weight loss journey may not be exactly like yours, but hopefully they'll let you know we all have aspects of our journey that we're all a bit embarrassed about.
What I'm most proud of is this: I now have excitement, Joy, drive, ambition and a love for life like no other. I went from hating my life to loving life and I did it with nutrition, activity and in a totally healthy way. And it's super cool that other people have joined me in this journey too.
I took 30 core principles and have stuck with them day after day after day….and don't see any signs of stopping any time soon.
If you're on a weight loss journey and don't feel like you can see it through, trust me, if I can do it, so can you! You have it in you, you have greatness inside of you bursting at the seams and ready to come out!


The main difference is that they do routinely work with people in countries other than the United States, making it easy to transfer BTC to foreign currencies. If you're looking for a truly global Bitcoin Exchange, this is a good place to start. Cryptsy – This isn't a pure Bitcoin Exchange. By that we mean that you can trade other cryptocurrencies as well. For example, you can exchange your BTC for LTC (LiteCoins) and vice versa. If your virtual currency investments go beyond Bitcoin, you'll want to check out Cryptsy. BTer – With slow transaction speeds and limits on the size of transactions, this isn't really recommended, but we thought they deserved a spot on the list because they do serve the needs of some people who use Bitcoin. BTC-China – One of the fastest growing Bitcoin exchanges – according to Wired magazine – is BTC-China, which has really ramped up their efforts recently. By some accounts, they've overtaken MtGox as the place where most Bitcoin transactions take place on a daily basis. Face to Face / Over the Counter Trades Even though it's a virtual currency, you can still arrange to meet someone in person and conduct a transaction with them. Having said that, finding such people might be difficult. This is where the LocalBitcoins.com website comes into the picture. LocalBitcoins is the main website people use to find people who want to meet face to face to exchange bitcoins for cash or vice versa. The website even allows them to negotiate prices beforehand.
Add in an escrow service, and it's one of the easiest and safest places to find someone to exchange bitcoins with locally. No matter the value of the money being exchanged, it's important for you to stay safe. To do this, it's a good idea to always arrange to meet in a public place surrounded by a lot of people. Never agree to go to someone's home, apartment, or a field on the outside of town! In all seriousness, use your common sense when setting up a face to face Bitcoin transaction. Even though you're meeting in the real world, you're still going to need access to your Bitcoin Wallet. Once you have the cash, use the other person's Bitcoin Address to send them the predetermined amount of bitcoins. The good news is that you can use a laptop, tablet or even your smartphone to do this wherever you are as long as you have a WiFi connection. In addition to one on one meetings, many people around the world also have Bitcoin groups that meet in public places in order to exchange Bitcoin for cash and vice versa. Websites like Meetup.com routinely have Bitcoin groups that meet in real life. In some big cities, you may find multiple groups meeting on different days of the month. Additionally, you may find so called "Satoshi Squares" or Bitcoin markets set-up in public places. It should be noted that in most cases you're going to pay a transaction fee of 5% to 10% (or more) to the seller in exchange for the privacy and immediacy. This is too much for some people, but for others it's just a cost of doing business.
Just be sure the local police don't think you're exchanging money for illicit substances! Bitcoin Mining. In the very early days of Bitcoin, this was a reasonable way for an average, everyday person with a little computer knowledge to generate income. However, as more people began to use Bitcoin and realized the potential for making money, large groups of people (including some corporations) were set-up, effectively locking out individuals who want to mine for bitcoins using a home computer. Here's a look at what you need to get started with Bitcoin Mining. Bitcoin Mining Software - While early Bitcoin Clients included the ability to mine for bitcoins, this stopped as dedicated software for Bitcoin Mining was created and released. You'll still need a Bitcoin Wallet to store the bitcoins you collect via mining, but the actual mining software will be separate from the main Bitcoin Client. Bitcoin Mining Hardware - As Bitcoin became more popular, people realized that graphics cards in computers were great for doing the complex math needed for Bitcoin mining. Soon, dedicated hardware was created just for mining bitcoins. Software is still needed to run them, but these devices - known as ASICs after the type of processor they use - are almost a necessity to have enough computing power to be able to successfully mine bitcoins. Another thing to think about is joining a pool or what's known as a Bitcoin Guild. This is a group of people who pool their computing power together in order to solve blocks more quickly.


Wouldn't it be great if you could end up earning a bit of extra cash from a hobby. Well, that idea might not be quite as crazy as it sounds – in fact, there are a lot of hobbies that it is possible to monetise and, if you work hard enough at it, you could even turn it into a full-time career.
Don't believe me? Well, take a look at this list of hobbies that can be quite easy to monetise. Before you know it, you could be earning a lucrative side income from one of your favourite pastimes!
Do you love tinkering with cars? If so, you could start doing small maintenance jobs for people. Don't worry if you don't fancy becoming a part-time mechanic, though; it's also possible to make some money from cars by trading in them. If you have a bit of cash to invest into this pastime, you could start buying cars, doing them up, and then selling them at a profit. Just make sure that you have some part-time car trader insurance to cover this side income. This is one hobby that could easily become your new full-time job eventually!
If you enjoy doing small DIY jobs around the house, such as painting, woodwork, and plastering, you could always advertise your services in your local newspaper. Then you can start to do this hobby for other people, and you'll receive a nice little sum of cash in return! If you are serious about turning your DIY hobby into a side income, it could be worth taking a short course or class at your local night school so that you can gain some qualifications. That should help you find more clients.
Does your partner always complain about how much time you spend playing video games? Well, I'm sure they wouldn't complain anymore if you were earning money from doing so! There are different ways you can do this. Lots of companies hire game testers to play their beta versions of games. You then need to give the company an honest review. Or, you might want to sign up to a site like Twitch where you can stream yourself playing games. If you manage to build up a following, you could start earning some money through advertising and gaining paid-up subscribers.
If you enjoy coding in your spare time, you might want to think about using it to earn some money. For example, you could start creating your own apps that you could try to sell on the various app stores. Alternatively, you could offer your services as a freelance coder and try to score some small projects from software companies in your spare time. It's worth looking on websites like Upwork where freelancers can advertise their skills to paying clients. Set yourself up with a profile, and hopefully, some clients will approach you with work!
You might be surprised at just how easy it is to make a side income from some of these hobbies listed above!

Challenge Rating is a measure of how difficult an individual monster, a trap, or challenge (quest) is. In PnP, the difference between these CRs and the party level is supposed to determine the experience reward of the encounter.
CR is determined by a number of factors - ability to dish damage, ability to absorb damage, and even factors like an ooze's ability to damage your weapon. Since CR is an "average difficulty", it can only be used a baseline of a creature's danger level. A character running around with Muckbane is going to find oozes to be little challenge, whereas the fighter with an expensive weapon that breaks finds the CR to be well justified.

HBCU coach apologizes for recruiting QB who lost scholarship over racial slur
Biden administration is preparing for the end of free COVID-19 vaccines as funds run dry
By Alexander Tin
September 2, 2022 / 11:13 AM / CBS News
Updated COVID-19 boosters are rolled out
Pfizer and Moderna update latest COVID vaccines to target the Omicron variant 02:58
Formal preparations are underway for the end of the federal COVID-19 vaccination and treatment effort, health officials say, with money for the Biden administration's campaign to buy and distribute shots to the public for free now set to run out "as early as January" 2023.
That risks leaving behind some of the most vulnerable Americans at what could be the height of a deadly winter wave of the virus, warn some both inside and outside the federal government, undoing hard-fought progress to narrow disparities in the pandemic's toll.
Within the Biden administration, informal talks have been ongoing for more than a year about what to do when the funding from Congress runs out. Since the spring, executives from Pfizer and Moderna have said their companies were actively preparing for the day they would begin selling their shots on the private market.
Those discussions ramped up late last month, when more than a hundred representatives from companies, agencies, and organizations across the pandemic response huddled on a hours-long virtual conference call with top-ranking federal health officials.
"We have always intended to transition this work to the commercial market and have been planning for that transition for some time now. Unfortunately, the timeline to make the transition has accelerated over the past six months without additional funds from Congress," Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response Dawn O'Connell said in a post this week, in the wake of the meeting.
Key issues remain unresolved over how COVID-19 vaccines and treatments will be distributed and paid for.
Companies will need to hash out prices and contracts with doctors, pharmacies, insurance plans, and distributors, both to buy the products and to administer them.
"The starting point, first and foremost, is going to be the discussions with the manufacturers on both the vaccine and therapeutic sides related to pricing. That will ultimately have an impact on the downstream discussions," said Chip Davis, head of the Healthcare Distribution Alliance.
Those decisions could determine which places end up being able to continue offering free vaccines, which right now are being administered through more than 87,000 providers around the country.
"As we shift into a commercial market, how many of those sites stay up and running? Are there new locations, with a goal of ensuring equity moving forward? What's the role of the pharmacy community, which has played an extremely important role thus far through the federal retail pharmacy partnership program?" said Davis.

Those efforts are complicated by current restrictions imposed on how most COVID-19 pharmaceutical products can be marketed and distributed. Including the recently updated boosters, most COVID-19 drugs and vaccines were released under emergency use authorizations and have yet to win the "full approval" of a Food and Drug Administration license.
Virtually all of those authorizations spelled out rules granting federal health officials exclusive control over where the doses went, until recently.
"The FDA will consider requests for issuance or revisions to EUAs for products to be distributed and sold through commercial channels by the products' manufacturers or others, as appropriate," a spokesperson for the regulator said.
Under the Affordable Care Act, most health insurance plans must cover routinely recommended vaccines for adults, which includes the COVID vaccines and boosters.
For some of the uninsured or underinsured, the mammoth Vaccines for Children program could take on providing COVID-19 shots given to kids. However, the CDC's outside vaccine advisers have yet to vote on recommendations that would add it to the program.
No equivalent currently exists for Americans over the age of 18, though the Biden administration did suggest creating a "Vaccines for Adults" program in its last proposed budget. Some states might also try to pay for shots to cover this gap within their borders, industry sources said.
The transition could also risk cutting off public health officials from key metrics they now rely on to track the effort to vaccinate Americans against COVID-19, especially in underserved groups.
Data tracking doses administered, as well as figures broken down by race and ethnicity, are only reported to health authorities thanks to agreements that vaccinators sign in exchange for the government-bought doses. Without those deals, crucial data could dry up too.
"We definitely want to see COVID eventually move into the commercial market. We just want to make sure that we don't lose ground on all these gains we've made, with equity and all the other areas," said Claire Hannan, executive director of the Association of Immunization Managers.
Hannan said it was unrealistic in most state budgets to buy enough COVID-19 vaccine shots to cover their residents, and cautioned that even the process of screening and billing for vaccinating only uninsured recipients would require additional money and manpower at a time when health departments are already stretched thin.
The summit comes as the White House's months-old "emergency" COVID-19 funding request remains stalled on Capitol Hill.
Sweeping initiatives launched in response to the pandemic have wound down over the past year as funds dried up, ranging from covering uninsured patients to shipping out free at-home tests. Last month, the Biden administration handed distribution of Eli Lilly's monoclonal antibody treatment bebtelovimab over to the private market as government stocks ran low.
Federal supplies of AstraZeneca's Evusheld, a key COVID-19 drug used to protect immunocompromised patients, are also projected to be drained "as soon as early 2023." U.S.-bought stores of Paxlovid from Pfizer and Lagevrio from Merck and Ridgeback Biotherapeutics will also be depleted next year.
In hopes of averting a repeat of the past two deadly fall and winter waves of the virus, the Biden administration said over the summer it had been "forced to reallocate $10 billion" from other pandemic programs to foot the bill for updated COVID-19 vaccine booster shots from Pfizer and Moderna.
Now, as the latest campaign gets underway to reach more than 200 million Americans due for an updated booster shot, local health officials warn they are "running on fumes."
"The work of achieving optimal vaccination coverage, and equitable vaccination coverage, requires significant investment in building relationships with community partners, empowering community partners, and developing trust," Dr. Jeffrey Duchin, Seattle's top public health official, told a recent meeting of the CDC's outside vaccine advisers.
A Commonwealth Fund report estimated in June that an early fall booster rollout could save up to $109 billion in direct medical costs over the coming months, if it reaches higher levels of uptake.
"Trust requires consistency. And that consistency, and the adequacy of the response overall, requires funding," said Duchin.

With title loans Webster Groves locals now have an alternative way to pay all their bills. As long as you have a car and a title in your name, you're on your way to securing a loan.
Located just outside St. Louis, Webster Groves is one of that larger city's top suburbs. Home to around 23,000 people, it ranks as one of the best places to live in the entire nation. Whether you are a stay at home parent, work part-time or have a full-time job, you know that living from paycheck to paycheck is hard.
It only takes one cut in your hours to find yourself struggling to pay your bills. With title loans Webster Groves locals now have an alternative way to pay all their bills. As long as you have a car and a title in your name, you're on your way to securing a loan.
With title loans Webster Grove car owners like yourself can take out what is essentially a secured loan. You use your car title to secure that loan, which means that the lender holds your loan until you fulfill the requirements of your loan.
As long as you pay it back on or before the due date, you won't have any problems. If you find that you cannot pay back that loan by the due date, talk with your lender about possibly extending your loan terms or rolling that loan over.
You can find title loans Webster Groves applications online. This lets you apply online and find out if you qualify faster than you might imagine. You can skip a trip to the bank, the long lines at the tellers and the multiple appointments with a loan officer who might reject your loan because you need less than they loan.
The application consists of just a few things. You need to put down your name, your phone number, an email address and the type of vehicle you have. Make sure that you're clear about its overall condition, the number of miles on the engine, its age and whether you have any special trim package or option type.
The lender will contact you the following business day to discuss whether you can get a loan and how much you can borrow. You will typically need to take your vehicle to a loan office to let a rep verify that it matches the information you supplied before you can get a loan.
Always make sure that you understand the laws regarding auto title loans in St. Louis and other parts of Missouri. Missouri is one of just a small number of states to not limit the amount of interest a lender can charge. The state also allows lenders to extend the length of a loan, which gives you more time to pay it off.
The one thing Missouri does limit is the amount of times you can roll over your loan. When you reach the end of your loan, you can roll it over into a new one and get additional cash. Missouri requires that you pay off your loan completely within two roll over cycles.
Why wait does or even weeks to get a loan from your bank or credit union? With title loans Webster Groves can owners can get money even faster. You can usually get your cash in the same week that you applied, and some get their money in just a few short days.
It doesn't matter if you have perfect credit or if you filed for bankruptcy in the past. As long as you have a vehicle in good condition with a clean title, you can apply for and get a title loan.

Michael Vick thinks he's ranked too low on 'Top 100'
Published: Jun 11, 2012 at 12:10 PM
Perhaps I shouldn't be, but I'm surprised by just how much players seem to care where they fall on NFL Network's "The Top 100: Players of 2012" countdown.
This likely goes back to three main factors:
1) A lot of NFL players watch (and appear on) the league's network.
2) The order is determined by fellow players.
3) We're talking about hyper-competitive humans.
Kinkhabwala: Eagles locked in
DeSean Jackson says his diva days are over. Aditi Kinkhabwala writes that this fits the overall feel in Philadelphia. More ...
One player unhappy with his placement on the list? Michael Vick, the Philadelphia Eagles quarterback who came in at No. 70, a 50-spot free fall from his 2011 ranking on the same list.
"Yeah, it's a joke," Vick told 97.5 The Fanatic in Philadelphia. "I mean, I won't say where I need to be, I let my peers and everybody else decide on that. Maybe it was voted on by the peers, but I just disagree. I know how good I am and what I bring to the table for my football team and the things I can do on the football field sometimes can be uncanny but I give a lot of credit to my coaches and the people around me.
"They got me ranked 70, I think the thing to do now is go out and prove why I feel like I should be even higher."
Vick wasn't terrible for the Eagles last season, but he didn't come close to matching the highs of his incredible comeback season in 2010. The hype and subsequent flop of the Eagles' "dream team" likely didn't help his reputation, either.
"If that's what they felt and based on what happened last year, then I got to deal with it," he said. "It's motivation, so thank you because they've motivated me to become a better player this year so I have that in the back of my mind as I go out and play this year as well."
Motivated by cable television. How very American.


Somali pirates killed four Americans aboard a yacht the pirates hijacked off the coast of Somalia, U.S. military officials reported of an incident that started Friday and ended in gunfire today with the death of several pirates, too. It marked the first time that U.S. citizens had died in the wave of piracies in the region during the past several years.
A U.S. Navy warship had been shadowing the Quest since pirates hijacked it Friday.
CBS News national security correspondent David Martin reported this morning that gunshots aboard the yacht were heard, and the warship took action.
U.S. naval forces quickly boarded the captured yacht after hearing the gunfire and tried to provide lifesaving care to the Americans but they died of their wounds, the U.S. Central Command said.
Two pirates died during the confrontation, and 13 were captured and detained, the U.S. Central Command said from Tampa, Fla. The remains of two other pirates who were already dead for some time were also found. The U.S. military didn't state how those two might have died.
The Quest was the home of Jean and Scott Adam, a couple from California who had been sailing around the world since December 2004. The two other Americans on board were Phyllis Macay and Bob Riggle of Seattle, Wash.

Although compensation in money is typically the ultimate goal of representation in our clients' cases, it is not the only result we seek. We also intend to help our clients achieve closure and find a sense of satisfaction and some easing of their burden as a result of our having represented them. The results set forth below are some, but not all, of our larger results from a monetary perspective. But those results obviously depend on the particular facts and circumstances presented in those cases. Some of our best work has occurred in cases in which the amount we recovered for our client was less than the results set forth below, but was no less significant in our client's life and no less satisfying for us. Some verdicts or settlements are easier to obtain than others. The size of a settlement or verdict does not necessarily reflect the difficulty of the case or the quality of the legal representation provided.
Rankin v. United Parcel Service, Inc.
Our client, riding a bicycle, collided from the back with a UPS truck that was illegally stopped on a rural road. Our client suffered profound injuries. UPS offered $300,000.00 to settle the case, claiming that the collision was our client's fault. The jury found the parties equally at fault.
We assisted Marci Beyer and Dean Cross in the trial of this case. The client ended up with most of his colon removed as a result of the negligence of a general surgeon.
The jury found Allsup's liable for severe injuries to our client sustained when a vehicle went over the curb and pinned him against the store window while he was using a payphone. Partly as a result of this case, Alllsup's and other convenience stores erected barriers and moved payphones to prevent this from happening again.

I had my contract cut short a year by HRC due to some bad paper from years ago (letter of reprimand, no UCMJ or any criminal charges). I still received an honorable discharge with all benefits. Will this be a topic at interviews or do they just check that you have an honorable? How much do they want to see, do I need to bring in documentation of what happened? I don't really have anything to show since it wasn't criminal.
Most of the top-tier employers know what a normal military career looks like. Some of them used to ask to see your last three or five FITREPs. If they have any suspicions, they'll almost certainly pull the thread.
You do need to figure out how to answer "have you ever been terminated by any employer"? I don't know the right answer, in the past folks who were RIFed struggled with that as well. That may have been more of a grey area because a RIF was more like furloughed than fired. Hopefully someone else can weigh in on that.
Also, look on your DD214. You'll have a separation code... a savvy employer of ex-military will know what the "normal" ones are, and it will raise flags if you have a non-normal sep code. You need to figure out what your code is and what it means. To confound matters, the DoD considers sep codes to be for internal use only and does not publish a list... even worse the codes can vary between services and may have had different meanings in the past.
Lower tier majors may just want the honorable discharge, and may be oblivious to the sep code. Regionals will only care about the honorable (except the ones with AA flow of course).
Bottom line, you can't pretend it never happened, if you're applying to any majors you'll want to know how to address this at an interview since they probably won't even become aware of it until the interview when they ask why you chose to leave AD, or they see the DD214. Don't lie and claim you resigned... the sep code could give that away.
I would bring whatever docs you have to an interview, but keep them out of sight unless they ask to see them.
You're in a strange situation, unlike the past, nowdays the airlines only interview people they're pretty sure they want to hire. As a winged military guy (assuming you have enough flight time), you will most likely get called, but then you'll have to address this situation. But frankly it's better to have the opportunity to explain and sell yourself, than to never get called.
You should talk to emerald coast or one of the other interview prep outfits.
Definitely worth talking to the experts one on one for advice on how to address this. There are many reputable firms that successfully assist pilots with their transition; part of that transition is how to speak civilian and communicate things like this with as successful an outcome as possible. Great advice as usual Rick.
Did you appeal? Ask for removal? Put in a rebuttal for the record? Request its removal by the commander who ordered the filing?
That may impact how to handle going forward depending on employer.
My employer called my previous COs and talked to them after I interviewed. You will definitely have to discuss it. This is the type of thing you get interview prep for. My suggestion - own it and chalk whatever it was up as a learning experience. I have seen LORs go out for stupid stuff in the military (guilt by association, bad CO, in place of something that deserved a letter of caution), but nobody wants to hear how it wasn't your fault.
Aviation and especially mil aviation is a small world. I bet you will get your just due.
Thanks for all the info. I should have added I'm looking at regionals.
They do indeed go out for stupid things. A classmate got one for not shaving and running in to a GO at the gym on base, he was in civilian clothes on a day off.
It should not be a problem for regionals. They will likely not even look at the sep code, and will not be familiar with precise mil career timelines (ie won't notice you left a year early). I doubt they would even ask why you left the military, but they might... just to fill time. Then you'll have to be honest and tell about how you learned from whatever it was. I'm confidant they will hire you regardless, since they know something like that will delay a call from the bigs so they get to keep you longer (maybe forever).
AA wholly-owned regionals will presumably more rigorous interviews since that comes with flow to AA.
Was it an misconduct discharge characterized as Honorable? We can discuss specifics via PM if you'd rather. Generally, A LOR won't stop you from joining an AA Wholly Owned regional provided it didn't result in an OTH. I know of several folks in worse circumstances who were able to navigate hiring at WO and non WO regionals.
There's a Good possibility it's going to be a speed bump on your way to the Majors. How much will be determined in the next few years as the pilot shortage gets worse.
I recommend going to one of the AA Wholly Owned regionals so you've got the flow to AA as a backup in case other majors don't end up hiring you as a result of the application blemish.
Yes. If they take you, problem solved. If not, you know where you stand. Recon by fire.
If you want to tell us what happened, we might be able guess where you stand (or PM might be a good idea for anonymity).

Resident Evil 2 Board Game Reviews


This article was originally posted on Thomson Reuters Foundation News.
These were the influential words of the Honduran indigenous land rights activist, Berta Caceres. She won the Goldman Environmental Prize in 2015 for her role in organizing an opposition movementthat led a major company to abandon building a dam on the indigenous-protected Rio Gualcarque in Honduras. Less than a year later, she was assassinated at home. Tragically, Berta Caceres was one of many land rights and environmental activists murdered in recent years.
Berta Caceres' death comes at pivotal time in history. The year 2016 marks the beginning of a new era for land rights and environmental activism after a global consensus on sustainable development was reached last year .
Two critical international agreements emerged : the post-2015 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Paris Agreement.
Secure land rights - meaning enforceable land rights that are recognized by states and others, and protected in case of challenges - are a key ingredient to achieve the objectives set by these agreements. However, as demonstrated by the brutal killings of Berta Caceres and other activists around the world, the push for secure land rights continues to face an uphill battle.
1. Securing land rights combats climate change, but the world's largest emitters aren't playing ball. When indigenous and local communities have secure rights to forests, both the deforestation rates and the carbon emissions in those forests can be significantly reduced. The 2015 Paris Agreement sets a worldwide agenda for limiting the rise in global temperature to no more than 2 degree Celsius above pre-industrial levels. However, only 21 of the 188 countries that submitted climate action plans to implement the Paris Agreement made commitments to secure land rights as a climate mitigation strategy. Many countries with high deforestation rates, such as Brazil and Indonesia, have not made such commitments.
2. Securing land rights fights hunger, but companies are grabbing land in countries where hunger levels are high and land rights are insecure. Access to food is a serious and growing problem as resources become scarce, demand for food increases, and food waste remains high. With secure rights and access to land, rural farmers can grow crops, graze livestock, and otherwise increase household food production. However, in response to rising food prices in 2008, companies began buying up millions of hectares of agricultural land in developing countries to maintain long-term food supplies.
According to the 2012 Global Hunger Index, the majority of these land grabs occurred in countries where hunger levels are "alarming" or "serious" and property rights to land are limited or contested. Consequently, local farmers in these countries face difficulties accessing land to grow food and fill stomachs.
3. Securing land rights eradicates poverty, yet governments are failing to secure land rights for the poor and vulnerable. A global study of 108 countries found that stronger property rights were associated with an average eight point rise in annual growth of per capita income. Nevertheless, it is estimated that at least 1 billion poor people currently lack secure rights to land. Moreover, researchshows that the world's indigenous and local communities only have secure rights to a small fraction of the lands upon which they live and depend. For these populations, land not only provides a home and a way of life, but also an income-generating asset. Unless their land rights are respected and protected, these populations may fail to overcome the poverty trap.
4. Securing women's land rights promotes gender equality, yet laws and customs undermine the ability of women to own and access land.The Voluntary Guidelines on the Responsible Governance of Tenure (the VGGTs) - a set of land governance "best practices" endorsed by UN Committee on World Food Security in 2012- call for governments to ensure women and girls have equal access to land.Research shows that women with secure land rights earn more income, are better able to feed their children, and are also less likely to experience domestic violence. However, in more than half of all countries, laws or customs hinder women's rights to own and access land. Unless reformed, these laws and customs will continue to undermine women's empowerment, putting them at risk of hunger, poverty, and domestic violence.
While the push for secure land rights faces immense challenges, there are reasons to be hopeful. This past year saw the launch of a new campaigns and initiatives like the Global Call to Action on Indigenous and Community Land Rights, which aims at doubling the amount of land legally recognized as owned and controlled by indigenous and local communities by 2020, and LandMark, a mapping platform aimed at protecting indigenous and community lands by making them visible.
Furthermore, new multi-stakeholder coalitions, such as the Interlaken Group and the Global Donor Working Group on Land, show signs that companies and donors are making commitments to respect and protect land rights.
Through these efforts, the land rights movement is taking flight. But for its destination to be reached, governments and companies must take active measures to ensure the rights of poor and vulnerable groups are respected and protected. With enough galvanized action, grassroots advocacy, international support, and public concern, secure land rights may finally be realized, bringing us closer to a world without environmental degradation, hunger, poverty, and discrimination.

Lee Kang-cheol-ho has to go to the final to meet the US… Check out the WBC Tournament Schedule
슬롯사이트 The memorable 'A-Road, Samgu, Samjin' has become 16 years ago. In the 2006 WBC (World Baseball Classic), how far will Korea have to go to repeat the feat of defeating the United States, the "Earth Defense Force," made up of major leaguers? Looking at the table, this time, it will take until the final to meet the United States.
The WBCI confirmed and announced the schedule after the tournament. According to the bracket, 1st place in Group A and 2nd place in Group B will be placed in the quarterfinal match on the 15th, and 1st place in Group B and 2nd place in Group A will be placed in the 2nd match in the quarterfinals on the 16th. However, there is a proviso clause. Even if Japan advances to the second round in second place, it will play on the 16th. This was also revealed in July.
If Japan's advance to the second round is certain, unless Japan is eliminated, Korea will play the quarterfinals on the 15th.
The composition of the tournament in Group C and D, which will be held in Miami, has also been decided. 1st place in Group D and 2nd place in Group C will play against 1st place in Group D and 2nd place in Group C in the 3 matches of the quarterfinals on the 18th, and 1st place in Group C and 1st place in Group D will face off in the 4th match of the quarterfinals on the 19th. There is also a proviso here, but the United States will play on the 19th regardless of ranking. This content was added this time.
In the semi-finals, the winner of game 1 and the winner of game 3 of the quarterfinals will compete on the 20th, and the winner of game 2 and the winner of game 4 of the quarterfinals will advance to the final on the 21st. The final is on the 22nd.
Korea, along with Japan, is considered a strong team to pass Group B in the first round. However, if Japan is assigned to the quarterfinals two matches on the 16th regardless of ranking, Korea must enter the quarterfinals one match even if it ranks first in the group. Since the United States will unconditionally enter the quarterfinals, Korea will have to go to the final to meet the United States again.
Of course, the priority is to pass the first round and win the quarterfinal tournament. Korea trains and matches hands and feet at Kino Sports Complex in Arizona, USA for two weeks from the 14th to the 27th of next month. In March, he will return to Korea and train at Gocheok Sky Dome to adapt to the jet lag and adapt to the dome stadium, and will depart for Japan on March 4.
The evaluation match will be held in Osaka, not Tokyo. After an official evaluation match against Orix on the 6th and Hanshin on the 7th, they move to Tokyo to face the WBC finals. The first round is over if you play against Australia on the 9th, against Japan on the 10th, against the Czech Republic on the 12th, and against China on the 13th.
Tips For Playing Better At Slots


Sixteen of the largest field hockey clubs in the Netherlands introduced contactless payment at their clubs after the winter break. Contactless payment is the ideal way for sports associations to receive small payments swiftly, securely and easily: it is a good alternative to cash payments and it is carried out much more quickly.
The field hockey club that records the steepest rise in the number of contactless payments between the winter and summer breaks will win a hockey clinic with international player Jeroen Hertzberger and a press conference for its youth teams. These young people will have the opportunity to ask Jeroen Hertzberger in person how the Dutch national field hockey team performed at the Olympic Games in Rio. The clubs with the highest monthly rise in contactless payments will receive a new set of training material for their youth teams.
ABN AMRO promotes the use of contactless payment because it is a secure, easy and fast payment method. As a partner of field hockey in the Netherlands, the bank supported these sports clubs in installing the required payment terminals.
Starting Thursday, 28 March, artist Helen Verhoeven will present new works in Circl and the Hermitage in Amsterdam. Verhoeven is the eighth winner of the ABN AMRO Art Prize, which is awarded to encourage talented international artists in the Netherlands.
ABN AMRO is looking for 50,000 used tennis balls. The bank plans to use these balls to make a playground for the Krajicek Foundation, a partner of ABN AMRO. ABN AMRO is calling on all people in the Netherlands – including its employees – to donate their used tennis balls at one of the bank's branches.
For the first time, the International Children's Peace Prize has been awarded to a collective rather than an individual. KidsRights patron Archbishop Desmond Tutu gave this year's prize – the fourteenth – to David Hogg, Emma Gonzalez, Jaclyn Corin and Matt Deitsch, four students from Parkland, Florida, and the initiators of The March for our Lives.


A few weeks ago I was trying to explain my particular slant on yoga to a friend, and made the comment that I'm not religious. She was surprised by this because I often talk about Buddhism in my posts, and her understanding was that Buddhism is a religion. So I thought if she finds that confusing no doubt other people do as well.
People often ask me if yoga is a religion, and the answer to that is complicated. It is practiced that way by some, whereas others treat it more as a philosophy, or arguably—a type of psychological model. Even deciding what defines a religion is a thorny issue.
The truth is that the way yoga is practiced in the West is mostly just a form of exercise. Since yoga became a commercial enterprise, the other seven limbs (ethics, observances, breathing practices and stages of meditation) can be a hard sell. Most yoga teachers learn that the physical practice is the "loss leader" that gets students into the room. The students who are curious about the other aspects will stick around, and the ones who aren't will eventually switch to Cross-fit.
In 2004 during my yoga teacher training I met my teacher, Michael. He was a Buddhist as well as being Jewish, and very interested in the intersection of yoga, Buddhism and Western psychology. I was very taken by Michael's broad approach, sense of humour and brilliant mind, so I became a regular student of his, and spent the next thirteen years studying with him along with many others in the community that became known as "Centre of Gravity." We dove into ancient texts, Sanskrit, psychology (particularly Carl Jung) and studied ethics, mindfulness, art, and Zen poetry. He invited teachers and intellectuals from all over the world to come and speak. As a curious person, it felt like I'd found my spiritual and intellectual home. But like all wonderful things, it came to an end: First, when he moved out west for personal reasons and could only visit a few times per year, and then, tragically, when he passed away last summer. But he is the reason I became a Buddhist.
Buddhism can be studied and understood in a completely secular light. Hence, it is absolutely possible to be a Christian Buddhist, a Jewish Buddhist, or an atheist Buddhist. Like all spiritual paths, there are huge variations in practice depending on the time, place and culture that you are looking at. Tibetan Buddhism looks nothing like Zen Buddhism, for example. Depending on geography and other historical factors, different variants arose and disappeared, and like every other spiritual path, the living and the teaching often don't line up. Burma, for example, is a Buddhist country, but the practice of non-violence isn't going very well.
Life is tough. At some point every one of us will experience some suffering.
We can make it worse for ourselves by trying to control and manipulate situations (clinging and/or avoiding).
We don't have to suffer as much as we do (because we have some control over part 2).
There are practical things we can do to set ourselves up for less suffering. He named eight practices that essentially boil down to morality (sila), meditation (samadhi) and wisdom (prajna).
These teachings became part of yoga in the Yoga Sutras (200 C.E.) but were less prevalent in later texts.
To break the eight-fold path down into a little more detail, the moral practices are divided into right speech, right conduct and right livelihood (dealing in drugs or weapons is frowned upon, as is butchering animals for a living). The meditation practices include right effort, right mindfulness and right samadhi (practicing the four stages of meditation). Finally, the wisdom practices revolve around "right view" (our actions matter, we are all interdependent, and also impermanent) and "right resolve" which has to do with our willingness to learn, change and grow.
The teachings of the Buddha as described in the Pali Canon go on for thousands of pages. He taught for a very long time before he died (possibly of stomach ulcers, possibly he was poisoned, nobody knows for sure). I have done a disservice by describing them so briefly, but my purpose in writing this is to assure you that I have no interest in indoctrinating or converting anybody. I am interested in these teachings because they have helped me. In the times we're living in, a little meditation can go a long way, and discussions about ethics and right speech (think before you tweet!) are more relevant than ever. They are not better than, or less than any other spiritual tradition—they're just another way of coping with day to day existence.
Words of wisdom, and of course, up-to-date information on our classes and workshops.
