Donald Trump Threatens to Cut NFL Tax Breaks If Players Continue to Kneel for National Anthem
The president also took aim at ESPN anchor Jemele Hill, after the network suspended her for calling Trump a "white supremacist" on Twitter
Published on October 10, 2017 08:12 AM
President Donald Trump is threatening to take away tax breaks for the NFL amid the continued national anthem protests that have swept the sport.
"Why is the NFL getting massive tax breaks while at the same time disrespecting our Anthem, Flag and Country?" he wrote early Tuesday morning. "Change tax law!"
The NFL voluntarily gave up its tax-exempt status in 2015, according to Politico. However, taxpayer dollars are used for new stadiums and facilities.
The president also took aim at ESPN anchor Jemele Hill, after the network suspended her for calling for a boycott of Dallas Cowboys sponsors over owner Jerry Jones' decision to punish players who don't stand for the anthem.
"With Jemele Hill at the mike, it is no wonder ESPN ratings have 'tanked,' in fact, tanked so badly it is the talk of the industry!" Trump said.
On Sunday, Vice President Mike Pence walked out of an Indianapolis Colts game against the San Francisco 49ers after players knelt during the national anthem.
"I left today's Colts game because @POTUS and I will not dignify any event that disrespects our soldiers, our Flag, or our National Anthem," the vice president wrote.
"At a time when so many Americans are inspiring our nation with their courage, resolve, and resilience…now, more than ever, we should rally around our Flag and everything that unites us," he continued. "While everyone is entitled to their own opinions, I don't think it's too much to ask NFL players to respect the Flag and our National Anthem."
President Trump revealed that he had told Pence to leave the game if any players knelt during the national anthem.
During a rally speech in Alabama last month, Trump stated, "Wouldn't you love to see one of these NFL owners, when somebody disrespects our flag, say, 'Get that son of a bitch off the field right now. Out, you're fired.' "
He followed the comment up by pouring more gasoline on the fire with a series of tweets. "If a player wants the privilege of making millions of dollars in the NFL, or other leagues, he or she should not be allowed to disrespect…our Great American Flag (or Country) and should stand for the National Anthem," he wrote. "If not, YOU'RE FIRED. Find something else to do!"
In the weeks since, multiple NFL teams have made statements by kneeling, locking arms or staying in the locker room during the playing of the anthem as a message of protest against Trump's comments.
In August 2016, former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick made headlines — and sparked a movement — when he took a knee during the national anthem.
"I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color," Kaepernick said at the time. "To me, this is bigger than football and it would be selfish on my part to look the other way. There are bodies in the street and people getting paid leave and getting away with murder."

A few recipients of the Paul Doak Agricultural Business Recruiting Scholarship gathered on campus for a group photo this fall: Brandon Mayer (back left), John Green, Erin Kurdelmeyer (front left) and Emily Cook. Doak's former students created the scholarship to honor him and support students with financial need.
Nov 29, 2015 Investing in Excellence Vol 9 No 2 2015 Protecting Soil and Water
A Challenge in Tribute to a Great Mentor
By: Melea Reicks Licht
Some mentors have the ability to inspire and influence even decades after their careers officially end.
Paul Doak, Iowa State University emeritus professor of economics, is one of those people.
Doak ('65 PhD agricultural economics) taught in the Department of Economics from 1962 to 1992. The emphasis of his professional career was on teaching and advising students majoring in agricultural business. He served as adviser of the Ag Business Club and taught agricultural marketing, agribusiness operations and career seminar courses. Doak, who is now 86 and living in Columbia, Missouri, says he was privileged to have been a member of the economics department and will always cherish his experiences with students, staff and colleagues.
Josanne Six, current director of budget and finance for the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, was one of the many people impacted by Doak during his tenure at Iowa State. She made the initial gift and worked to develop the Paul Doak Agricultural Business Recruiting Scholarship in 2009 to honor her former supervisor in agricultural business and longtime mentor.
The scholarship is awarded to students majoring in agricultural business who have verified financial need, with preference
given to students who are the first generation of their families to go to college.
Recently, Doak's former student Roger Carlsson ('78 agricultural business) generously pledged to match gifts and pledges of up to $250,000 to the Paul Doak Agricultural Business Recruiting Scholarship.
"I chose Iowa State for its excellent ag business program, and also because of the College of Agriculture and Life Science's
reputation of excellence in its field. I had seen the trading pits of the Chicago Board of Trade when I was 16 as a foreign
exchange student from Sweden. I knew when I saw those floors that was my calling," Carlson says.
After studying at the London Business School Carlsson returned to the United States. He founded the FCT Group of
Companies, an international investment firm with offices in Chicago, London, Dubai and Singapore. He established the
Carlsson Family Foundation in 1998 to manage his charitable contributions and to provide a research vehicle for other
donors wishing to make informed charitable decisions.
Carlson says he learned values at Iowa State like hard work, perseverance and tenacity. He gives Doak and the strong
foundation he received in the college much credit for his professional success.
"My experience was colored by working and studying concurrently. This required a great deal of planning and prioritizing as well as time management,"
Carlsson says. "Dr. Doak took the time to help me find a balance that made my degree possible. He was more of a
friend, and made sure I didn't make any unwise choices."
There has been good responses, but the ongoing effort will need strong alumni support by the end of the calendar year to
take full advantage of Carlsson's challenge.
"I visited campus and met current students who were both working and studying and could benefit from more
scholarships," Carlsson says. "I was introduced to Josanne Six, and I was impressed with her and her personal
care for Dr. Doak. The scholarship is a wonderful idea, both as a legacy to Dr. Doak and to help current students
in need."

Finding the right supplier for life science products isn't an easy task. Life science products often are a relatively costly investment that should last a long time. Making the right choice for a certain supplier within life science products is something that can be done by preparing for it. Part of the preparation could be using the internet for relevant articles. This article will discuss the most important aspects within finding the right supplier for science products.
A supplier with a wide range of products, will be able to offer you much more. Having different products to choose from often has a better result for the organization. It is simply easier to find a product that fits the actual needs of an organization when there is a wider range to choose from.
Having the right advice is crucial when it comes to buying new life science products. The level of advice within different suppliers is something that can really differ. It really helps to call a new supplier and try to level what kind of service you will be getting. It is also important to look at the reviews from the bigger clients of this company, to find out how good a certain company is.
The after sales service is something that is really important within the supplier. It could happen that certain products function less. Having a great supplier could really make a big difference in this case. The after sales service could also be measured by reviews from the bigger clients of the company. The range of products, getting the right advice and after sales service are important within finding the right supplier. A company that possesses all these factors is GC biotech. This supplier stands out from competition with superior knowledge and a portfolio of a lot clients. GC biotech offers numerous life science products to clients all over the world.

The People's Republic of China (PRC) has a well-documented record of discrimination and abuse against numerous ethnic and religious groups. This includes the various Turkic Muslim peoples of East Turkistan, who have experienced decades of policies restricting their traditional way of life and erecting barriers to their successful participation in the economic development of their homeland. For nearly 70 years, people of East Turkistan—the name given to the territory by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), Xinjiang, literally means "new frontier," an uncharacteristic admission of the weakness of China's claim to the territory—have known little beyond religious suppression, the systematic dismantling of their cultural institutions, and a cynical demographic assault aimed at displacing the native population with millions of Han Chinese. Recently, however, the situation in East Turkistan has taken a dark turn. As thousands of the largely Uyghur, Kazakh, and Kyrgyz peoples who call East Turkistan home were disappearing, reports began to surface of the construction of hundreds or even thousands of prison camps throughout the region. As journalists, human rights organizations, and UN diplomats uncovered more evidence of events in the region, the truth of what they were witnessing became impossible to deny: here was the 21st century gulag, a sprawling, purpose-built concentration camp system into which the CCP has thrown as many as 3 million East Turkistani Muslims. China strictly controls information flowing into and out from East Turkistan, but those with knowledge of conditions in the camps report the systematic use of torture and forced labor and families who have been ripped apart are told nothing of their loved ones' whereabouts or well-being.
And make no mistake that this is just another in the litany of unfortunate indignities suffered by members of numerous vulnerable communities throughout the PRC. Taken separately, the restrictions on religious freedom and cultural practices, and arbitrary and unexplained detentions of huge numbers of East Turkistanis each represents a gross violation of their human rights, but together, this can be nothing but a systematic and calculated cultural genocide aimed at erasing all traces of the great civilization that once flourished in this strategic crossroads. East Turkistanis face a bleak choice: reject their ancestral language, religion, customs and familial ties or be erased.
China's response to the allegations does little to inspire confidence: categorical denials evolved into vague encomiums to "job training" and "countering extremism" as evidence of their crimes continued to mount.
It is the duty of all Americans who cherish their freedom and take pride in our progress in fighting discrimination and injustice to expose the truth of China's genocidal campaign against East Turkistan's original Uyghur, Kazakh, Kyrgyz, Uzbek, Tatar, and other largely Muslim inhabitants. We must support efforts to bring first-hand accounts of the camps, detentions, dislocations and other crimes being perpetrated against East Turkistanis. The stakes are enormous for China and justify the CCP's stranglehold on information-flows throughout the region. To raise awareness and support calls for action, ETNAM joins with concerned Americans in organizing a demonstration this Friday, January 25th beginning at 7 p.m. in front of the Kennedy Center (2700 F St NW, Washington, DC 20566) to coincide with the premier concert performance of state orchestra of the People's Republic of China at the storied venue.
ETNAM joins our allies and calls on the U.S. Government to TAKE ACTION, through sanctions and other means, to STOP China's crimes against humanity in occupied East Turkistan and we ask you to join our call.
It will be a cold night, and this may impact turnout. As such, each person who shows up and personally registers their outrage adds tremendous weight to our message and sends a signal to the world that such crimes are unacceptable everywhere and will never go unpunished. We will hold a candlelight vigil featuring speakers directly impacted by this atrocity and with personal stories to share, and offer interfaith prayers for all who wish to join us. Together we can foil their effort to dazzle the great center of representative government and the rule of law while they sweep their East Turkistan problem under the rug.
Lastly, we call on all people of good faith and good will all over the world to engage in a peaceful "information war" against the government of the People's Republic of China by supporting efforts to bring uncensored information out of occupied East Turkistan and educating others about the systematic abuse human rights crimes being perpetrated against the people of China, occupied East Turkistan, Tibet, and South Mongolia's oppressed people.
This is a peaceful protest. Violence of any kind is entirely unwelcome.

The dashboard of your vehicle has several warning lights on it. When an issue occurs, make sure to pay attention to which light illuminates on the dashboard. One of the lights that could turn on is the Service Engine Soon light. If the light comes on, make sure to bring your vehicle in. We can connected it to the diagnostic computer to see what diagnostic codes that your engine is giving off. This helps to determine what repairs or services might be needed so the engine can work more efficiently. If you notice any other issue with your vehicle, it is always recommended to bring it in. This helps to prevent further issues from happening with the vehicle when you drive it.
If the check engine light illuminates on the dashboard, make sure to notice how the vehicle is handling. When the vehicle starts to pull in one direction or another, it could also be a sign of an issue. This could mean that the tires or suspension are wearing down to a point where they need to be replaced. If the vehicle handles in less than ideal conditions than it used to, make sure to have it inspected as soon as possible. Bring the vehicle in and we can check for the source of the problem. This can help to provide you with a safe and reliable vehicle that handles well.
There can be some reasons why the check engine light comes on along the dashboard. So of the reasons can be easy and quick to check. It may also allow the issue to be fixed. The first thing to do is check the vehicle. It can be as simple as not screwing the gas cap on tightly enough. If the cap allows itself to click a few times, make sure this is done so the gas cap is on tight. There could also be an issue with the spark plug wire. From a loose gas cap to a bad spark plug wire to the engine getting wet somewhere it should not, there are several unimportant reasons why your engine light may have come on as well. It is always recommended to bring the vehicle in so a professional can inspect it. This way we can locate the source of the issue and have it resolved quickly.
One way to help prevent an issue with your vehicle is to go to regular maintenances. This can help to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of the vehicle. It can also help to lower the chance of an unexpected breakdown happening. Regular maintenances are important because they can help save time, money, and stress in the long run. By looking at all areas of the vehicle, we can notice if something needs to be replaced or repaired. We can also advise you on what options you have. This can help to provide a safer and more reliable.

Welcome to Swindon for Europe
We are a cross party, grass roots campaign group whose aim is to stop Brexit.
We don't promote or endorse any one political party. We're just a group of concerned citizens, like you. We at Swindon for Europe are concerned that our democracy has been hijacked to serve the interests of a privileged few. We're concerned about the tone of the debate and rhetoric that started the referendum. We want to stop Brexit.
We are passionate Europeans. We believe that as a European nation, the UK should be at the heart of Europe. We must continue to work together with our European neighbours to secure peace and security in Europe and tackle borderless issues such as the environment. We benefit greatly from the exchange of trade, skills, knowledge and investment within the EU.
Swindon for Europe believs that our children's futures would be better served by remaining part of the EU. Our EU Citizenship and our vast EU citizens' rights cannot be just stripped away from us. Given that Article 50 has been triggered, an outline of the negotiations and the resulting deal must be made public. This deal should be subject to a free vote by MPs in Parliament or a second referendum.

This is my beautiful bride Ashleigh & Mark. They had their ceremony and reception at the Secret Gardens located in Abbotsford. Photography was taken by Morgan Hargreaves Photography. I got Ashleigh, Maid of Honour and Bridesmaid ready at the Bridal suit, on location.
Her eyes were what we wanted to play up and did we ever She wanted a soft smokey eye and i made sure to blend the dark eyeshadow very neat to keep it bridal and fresh. Her makeup was airbrushed to a flawless matte finish with a beautiful glow to cheeks. The bride and her wedding party had gone to get lash extensions prior to the ceremony, this makes your features stand out more and you can add mascara if you want more volume. The bridesmaids wanted a nice natural shape with neutral tones such as mauves and taupes I gave a lipgloss to Ashleigh, the Bridesmaids and the flowergirl for throughout the evening.

28 Jul Abp. Beach Names Acting Bishops for Upper Midwest
Dear Upper Midwest Family,
We are pleased to announce that on Monday, July 26, 2021, Archbishop Foley Beach met with the Bishop's Council of the Upper Midwest and announced his appointment of Bishop John Miller to serve our diocese as Acting Bishop and Bishop Todd Atkinson to assist Bishop Miller.
Our Bishop's Council is the ecclesiastical authority of the diocese, providing organizational leadership, vision, budgets, etc., during Bishop Stewart's requested leave of absence. However, the Council can delegate authority to Bishop Miller and Bishop Atkinson to assist in diocesan work, especially in fulfilling liturgical and ministry functions.
Meet the Bishops
Bishop John Miller has a long history in parish leadership and as a Missionary Bishop who provided episcopal oversight to 30 Anglican Mission churches in Florida, Georgia, and Alabama. He was also a founding bishop of the ACNA. This is the second time that Bishop Miller has assisted a diocese as an Acting Bishop, having served the Anglican Diocese of the Great Lakes two years ago. We are thankful for the gift of Bishop Miller's time and pastoral experience to our diocese at this time. Fun fact: his first career was as a marine biologist.
Many in the Upper Midwest may be a bit more familiar with Bishop Todd Atkinson. Bp. Todd oversees a church planting initiative in Canada called Via Apostolica that has ministered alongside the Anglican Network in Canada since 2014. In 2020, ACNA Provincial Council made Via Apostolica a Missionary District of the ACNA domiciled in the Diocese of the Upper Midwest. You may have met Bishop Todd at the Fully Alive conference in 2019, or during Holy Week that year if you spent some time at the cathedral. Bishop Todd shares our passion for the Word, sacrament, and the ministry of the Holy Spirit. We've been blessed to receive his teaching on occasion before, and look forward to working with him again in this season.
Read more about both Bishop Miller and Bishop Atkinson here.
Bishop's Council Members
Selection of the Acting Deans on the Bishop's Council has been completed:
For the Chicago Deanery: Rev. Michael Flowers
For the Greenhouse Deanery: Rev. Alex Cameron
For the Wisconsin Deanery : Rev. Eric Snyder
For the Minnesota Deanery: Rev. Paul Calvin
More information will be forthcoming about the Bishop's Council after it convenes with the new Acting Deans next week.
– For updates on the province's ongoing investigative process, bookmark this page on the ACNA's website.
– Subscribe to receive email updates from the Provincial Response Team regarding the ongoing investigation here. If you already receive ACNA emails, update your profile to "opt-in" to receive Provincial Response Team updates here.

Endangering safety and threats to a West Bend Police Officer
Author: West Bend Police |
Posted in Washington County, West Bend No comments
April 16, 2017 – West Bend, WI – On Sunday, April 16, 2017 at 1:43 a.m. a 24-year-old male called the West Bend Police Department and reported that his 22-year-old brother cut him with a sword and threatened him with a gun.
The brothers lived together in the 1600 block of Hans St. When police arrived at the scene the 24-year-old victim was outside the residence. The victim suffered a minor cut to his abdomen from the sword.
The 22 year old actor was in the residence and refused to allow officers entry into the residence. The man threatened to kill any officers that came into the residence and he sent photos of himself holding a shotgun.
The West Bend Police Department Special Response Team responded to the scene and safely evacuated several neighbors from the area. The man continued to threaten officers and refused to exit the residence.
After several attempts a West Bend police officer was able to make phone contact with the subject. The officer talked with the man for over 90 minutes before he finally agreed to exit the residence and turn himself over to police.
At 5:25 a.m. the man exited the residence and was safely taken into custody.
The man was arrested for two counts of Recklessly Endangering Safety and Failure to Comply with Officer's Attempt to Take a Person into Custody. Investigators recovered three handguns, a shotgun, a rifle, and a sword from the residence.

Staples will soon be putting a technology of the future into the hands of its everyday customers as they prepare to offer 3D printing in their stores.
It's whimsical. It's cute. It's usable. It's protective. This is my everyday iPhone 5 cover. It is by far one of the best cases that I've used. I started using it because my iPhone looked just like my husband's Razr phone and we kept getting them mixed up. With the monkey, there is no confusion. There is no way he will pick up my phone by mistake.
I love the way the monkey makes me smile. It also makes others smile, as well, especially when I am taking pictures with my iPhone.
The case is made from a thick silicone material and all the controls are covered — one of his ears is the volume control. Dropping the phone is not much of a worry when the monkey is on. The only caveat is that the rubberized material makes it difficult to slide it into a pocket.
If that doesn't bother you, get yourself a KaZoo and it is sure to make you smile! You can also get a blue elephant and similar cases for the iPhone 4 and iPod Touch.
If you hate the fact that television commercials are always louder than the television programming, you may be in luck. We are finally going to get rid of those aggravatingly loud commercials. Here's the scoop.

With the help of the apps and websites below, and Verizon's 4G LTE network, your kids can rest easy knowing Santa received their wish lists and that his reindeer are flying around right on schedule.

Paper based ID theft is still a real issue and can spike during the Holiday season. We all know we should shred receipts and important papers, but many of us simply do not do it. This unusual shredder can help.
I recently got a good look at Microsoft's first Surface tablet running Windows 8. If you are looking for a new tablet this year, you may want to consider the Surface. Here's my mini review.

Q: Computing level of nodes in a graph I want to compute the level of each node in a directed graph. I'm currently applying a depth-first search algorithm on vertices that have no incoming edges. Considering the graph below, for instance:

The expected result is:
Vertex | Level
1      | 0
2      | 1
3      | 2
4      | 1
5      | 3
6      | 4

In this particular case, if we start by applying DFS on 4, then all results for vertices 4, 3, 5 and 6 are going to be wrong, since 1 has level 0. I've tried to always consider the greatest result for each one of the nodes, so in this case the results for 3, 5, and 6 are replaced when applying DFS on 1. It works, but I can't find a way to correctly compute the level of vertex 4.
I'm working only with directed acyclic graphs.
I'm not including any code here because it is a pretty straightforward DFS implementation and I'm not struggling implementation-wise.
Any hint would be much appreciated.

A: You can compute the levels starting from each vertex without having an incoming edge. Then you can store the maximum value for each vertex until the end. For eg :- Vertex 3 will have values 1 and 2 when traversed from starting points vertex 1 and vertex 4 respectively. At last, you can update the vertices not having the incoming edge(number on child -1). If there's a situation where there multiple children of such a vertex, then you might want to select the child with maximum number on it for replacement and then run the algorithm from that vertex again to see if changes the numbers assigned to any of the other children.

How Ethics Differ in Research and Therapeutic Practice.
Check out standards 8 and 10 that cover ethics in research and therapeutic practice in the APA's Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct . Oftentimes research methods courses discuss the ethics of research and focus on historic examples of unethical research studies. This discussion of ethics will involve a different focus. The Ethical Principles and Code of Conduct presents information on ethical standards and expectations that apply to specific situations, including therapy and research. Explain the differences between the ethical standards for clients being treated by psychologists in counselling sessions and the standards for conducting psychological research with human participants. In a future career as a Veterans Affairs Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor that is in the field of psychology, describe the parts of the Ethical Principles and Code of Conduct expected to relate directly to that future career. Select and provide the number for one ethical requirement that applies specifically to psychological research and briefly summarise the standard. Explain why this requirement may not apply to a therapy situation.

Here, each player has described the character he or she plays in the game. But what secrets lie buried beneath these (sometimes) conventional exteriors?
The New York, New York, Cell
Maria Almirez
With graceful movements and the bonus of looking like everyone else, Maria moves silently through the crowd, she slips into the national gallery and as quick as she is in, she is out, with a couple priceless piece of art, all before the alarm is raised.
Although Maria has no apparent "job" she is never without money, clothes or new furnishings for the house and office. She usually spends the day reading up on art and antiques, following the latest socialite pages or catching up on her extensive range of colleges. At night she can often be found in a bar hustling players at snooker or perhaps at the high rollers table at a casino, no matter where Maria appears she is always dressed appropriately and seems to blend into any situation.
Agency: Bureau of Prisons
Who'd play her in the movie: Salma Hayak
Isaiah Daniels
Isaiah Daniels is a psychic, and it does not appear to be a gift that has come to him easily. With a gaunt face and deep-set, ringed eyes, Isaiah is not the picture of a healthy man. Dressed in the worst that Walmart (or K-Mart, or Target...) had to offer last sale, Daniels looks decidedly out of place in the cloak-and-dagger world of Aegis' machinations. He does not fidget. He has no hobbies, save for his dedication to the principles of samurai philosophy.
His face rarely shows emotion, his eyes betraying little of his thoughts. It is his voice alone that betrays the strength of will that the man can bring to bear. It is only when he speaks with fire and iron in his words that the darker rumors regarding his past become conceivable. Daniels is an active member of Project Cygnet, a psychic organization known to do Aegis' "dirty work".
The Mundane Details: Isaiah is an African-American, who speaks with a deep Southern accent. While he is in his early thirties, his looks make him appear to be approaching his forties.
Agency: Project Cygnet
Who'd play him in the movie: a younger Ernie Hudson
Decklan O'Connor
Good looking, suave, and with the cash to match, Decklan brings a much needed element to the team -- style. As the most sought after Secret Service protection agent in New York, he has to prioritize carefully between his service, Ageis, and home time. His driving and piloting skills combined with his wide-ranging latent psychic abilities lend valuable steerage to the team. Decklan is often heard on missions saying things like: "Do you know how hard it is to get blood out of Armani?" and "You put a bullet hole in my suit. Now, I'm gonna put some holes in you."
Agency: US Secret Service
Who'd play him in the movie: Brad Pitt
Laura Taylor
The amused glint in her eye tells you Laura Taylor is someone who has a real passion for life. As an army ranger, this translates into hard drinking, hard playing and hard loving. But she'll be watching your back when it all goes down. And the team is always her first priority. Many have underestimated her based on her appearance. She has a slim, toned build which belies her great strength, agility and skill in combat. Although her long dark hair is often severely tied back from her face she is a very attractive woman. Laura presents as an enigma to almost every man she meets: Screaming Cougar or Pussycat? Who cares - she's too busy kicking ass.
Agency: US Army Rangers
Who'd play her in the movie: Angelina Jolie
Doctor Sir Charles ?
Who'd play him in the movie:
The Washington, DC, Cell
Elizabeth "Flex" Beaumont
At 4 foot 5 inches and 40kg Flex seems like your average teenager, but her un-emotional eyes and calloused hands are signs she is older than her size would suggest. Although she is small it is obvious Flex works out everyday as she is toned and muscled. Her hair is smoothed back in a ponytail, with stray hairs held back with bobby pins. She wears sports clothes and runners, always has a walkman and large gym bag containing energy food bars, bottled water and gym gear. Flex is not someone you would want to make angry as she can hold her own in any fight. But her true love is her rifle, and she can shoot the wings off a fly at 600 yards.
Agency: the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA)
Who'd play her in the movie: Winona Ryder or Alyson Hannigan
Marcus Davenport
Dressed most often in sombre greys or blacks, Marcus is an unremarkable figure. Perhaps the oldest member of the group, he appears somewhere in his early fifties, but has aged well. His hair is thin and always neatly arranged, its color somewhere between silver and white. Marcus is a stout man, with a solid build and a sizable paunch. Perhaps because of his size, he moves slowly but with a certain sure grace. Marcus' eyes are sharp, and his gaze has a penetrating quality. In quieter moments, Marcus inevitably has a cup of coffee in hand, and is most comfortable either behind a lens, or poring over photographs, rather than interacting with his newfound associates. His tongue is as sharp as his gaze: while he prefers to watch and listen, he has shown that he is more than willing to remind others of their flaws and foibles should the opportunity present itself. When Marcus does speak (which has been often of late) it is with a soft British accent that belies some time spent in Mother England.
Agency: Project MoonDust, a part of Aegis
Age: mid-fifties
Who'd play him in the movie: Anthony Hopkins
Thomas Malachi
Malachi relocated to Washington, DC, from New York in recent months following the successful solving of the "City Slasher" case and recruitment into Aegis by Alisa St James. He is in his mid-thirties and 5 foot 10 inches tall with dark hair that is beginning to grey at the temples. Generally dressed in the typical FBI suit, Malachi manages to pull off the 'just got out of bed' look nine times out of ten. Whilst aware of FBI policy and the correct way to do things, Malachi recognizes the need for 'short-cuts' in order to get a successful outcome and is often guided by uncannily accurate hunches.
Agency: Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)
Who'd play him in the movie: Gabriel Byrne
Martin Osbourne
Martin Osbourne is a man alone in the crowd, one man by himself. Hard work and the occasional educated guess has taken him to the top of his profession, one of the highest ranking FBI agents in Washington, DC. Few people truly know Osbourne but those who do know an efficient manager who doesn't believe in hunches, only facts. His years of work in the violent and disturbing world of crime and lawbreakers have deeply effected him. These years are plain to see in his face and posture. At 5 feet 10 inches tall and carrying the build of a man of advancing years only his scowl carries the menace that suspects feel at his presence. A man of the Bureau the world is simple, black and white, us and them. You don�t want to be one of them.
Age: early fifties
Who'd play him in the movie: an older Michael Douglas
Angela Sparkes
With long, lanky brown hair mostly obscuring her face, Angela looks like a nerdy student. Always dressed in sloppy-joes, pants, cardigans and sneakers, she is the epitome of slob. Too bad she doesn't take good care of herself because she would probably be pretty if she ever bothered to scrub up. In fact she doesn't seem to care about anything much except the piles of electrical and computer junk she carries about with her all the time. She loves taking things apart and putting them back together, often ignoring everything else except what she is working on at that time. It looks like she has a real talent for it, too. Maybe because she's spent all her time learning those skills rather than interacting with other human beings.
Agency: The National Security Administration (NSA)
Who'd play her in the movie: Sandra Bullock

Your Possibilities Truly Are Endless | Antonine B.
I realized that in my own enthusiasm about Access Bars® after my first session and then training to become a Practitioner, I hadn't explained it, only promoted the upcoming classes at my Studio. I apologize to those of you who are not familiar with Access Consciousness®.
Since the day you were born, who you have been defined by the titles that were said about you by others and yourself as you became older. "Fussy baby", "energetic child", "rebellious teenager", "dedicated employee", "good spouse", "sharp business person", "good/bad person" or even "nice person" are definitions we believe to be true, and then use them to guide us subconsciously as we create our everyday reality.
Definitions, titles, programs and beliefs we hold on to, put us in energetic boxes that limit us from experiencing numerous possibilities on a daily basis.
We've all known someone who believed that "only bad things always happened to them" or "were unlucky in love" or "life was hard and they didn't get any breaks". These and many other self-limiting beliefs continued to play or loop in their thoughts until they destroyed any possibility of a truly happy, fulfilling life.
Access is a set of tools and processes that are designed to facilitate more consciousness for everyone. Consciousness includes experiencing everything without judgment. It is the willingness and capacity to be totally aware, totally present in all areas of your life and the ability to continually awaken to more possibilities, more choices and thus more in life.
Your Bars store the electromagnetic component of all the thoughts, ideas, attitudes, decisions and beliefs that you have ever had about anything including yourself in this lifetime and others.
At an Access Bars® session you will be fully clothed, reclining on a massage table, gravity chair or even recliner depending on the location of your session. A certified Access Practitioner will touch one Bar on your head and it will begin to clear away the energy locked up in that area or aspect of your life just by touching it.
An adult session will take about an hour. Children's sessions take less time because they have not stored all of the limiting thoughts, ideas, attitudes, decisions, beliefs and definitions.
After a session, many people feel more aware, lighter and able to make better choices having released old limiting beliefs. The least you may feel is very relaxed like after a great massage.
As a designer and Master Seer, I was amazed at the intensity of color and depth of reality I saw as I drove through the countryside after my session. I also experienced several positive opportunities or synchronicities in the upcoming weeks.
Because of my experience, I chose to become a certified Access Bars® Practitioner in order to offer modality to my clients as another way of releasing limiting energy without reliving the initial event.
As a Practitioner, you can not only do sessions on yourself, family and friends, but also perform sessions as a business.
What Will I Learn In Access Bars Class?
You will learn how to perform the 32-point Bars session and give and receive two complete sessions in class. You will receive a comprehensive manual containing detailed explanations; processes and tools plus you will be certified as a Practitioner of Access Bars®. As a Practitioner, you can not only do sessions on yourself, family and friends, but also perform sessions as a business. Energy workers and Massage Therapists can earn CEU's as well as add a new tool to their toolbox.
Do I Need To Repeat Class?
No. The reduced Repeat Price is for Practitioners who want to become Facilitators and teach Access Bars to others. To become a Facilitator, you will need to take three Access Bars® classes.
Most people leave an Access class knowing that they have changed forever. A doorway to a new level of consciousness has been opened and they are eager to create a life of possibilities with the newfound sense of freedom. The level of change and difference they experience depends on how much they are willing to receive.
So I ask you, what else is waiting to unfold in your unique journey of life? Your possibilities truly are endless, take one of the upcoming Access Bars® classes at the Studio and find out!

Space propaganda is communication about achievements in space science and technology, used primarily to influence a targeted audience and further a particular political agenda. Space propaganda was heavily relied upon during the Cold War and its use continues to this day.

During the Cold War, both the United States and the Soviet Union were in an ideological battle, and used political warfare to convince "Third World" nations that each side was superior. This was considered most easily done through demonstrations of military and technological superiority. As former allies in World War II, both sides inherited German rocket technology, which they leveraged into intercontinental ballistic missile defenses and the beginning of development of spaceflight capability. These quick technological advances created a suitable environment for the development of space propaganda.

Examples
Many forms of space propaganda have been used by public and government officials to influence space policy. Due to the fact that very few people have been to space, propaganda often relied on artistic depictions and imagery to convey its messages.

Art
Space art, in its crudest form, has existed for thousands of years. One of the earliest forms of modern space art was from the Jules Verne novel From the Earth to the Moon. Over time, with new discoveries and accomplishments in space technology, space art has developed into its own genre of art. Jules Verne's novel and others like it captured the imagination of people.

One of the most famous space paintings was "First Look" by Mitchell Jamieson. This piece was commissioned by NASA, and it shows an astronaut's expression as he looks into space for the first time. Another famous painting by Jamieson was called "First Steps" and depicts astronaut Gordon Cooper leaving his Mercury capsule. These paintings, as well as others, aim to give viewers a representation of what the feeling of exploring outer space may be like and demonstrate the accomplishment and pride of the American space program.

Another piece commissioned by NASA was "The New Olympus" by Alden Wicks. This painting shows the Vehicle Assembly Building at Cape Canaveral Florida, which would be a "suitable temple for the new race of gods."

Posters
The Soviet Union and the United States issued several propaganda posters to promote their national space programs, and incite emotional reactions from the public.

Stamps
One of the ways in which national governments recognize influential figures is through commemorative postage stamps. Usually these stamps are issued for a limited time.  In the United Kingdom, stamps are also printed with Space achievements.

"Royal Mail celebrates Britain's contribution to space exploration with its latest set of commemorative stamps. Due to be issued on 16 October, the six stamps all feature images from European Space Agency missions. From skimming Saturn's rings to keeping a watchful eye on the sun, from visiting our neighboring worlds to flying by the "failed planet" of asteroid Lutetia, Britain now performs most of its space exploration through European Space Agency (ESA). This year marks the 50th anniversary of Britain's space exploration effort. On 26 April 1962, its first satellite, Ariel 1, was launched by NASA. It carried scientific experiments designed by British universities and turned Britain into the world's third space-faring nation, after Russia and America."

Books
Prior to the launch of Sputnik, many Russians were avid science fiction readers. Among them was the son of Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev, Dr. Sergei Khrushchev. "We were more perplexed that the satellite had not been launched sooner."

Radio
A radio show, the Space Show, offers "educational" information about topics dealing with aerospace, space policy, astrophysics and more. The program is broadcast from California and licensed by the One Giant Leap Foundation. The program is hosted by Dr. David M. Livingston, whom syndicated radio host, John Batchelor of the John Batchelor Program, refers to as "Dr. Space". The show is very careful not to be misunderstood or misrepresented and states on the website, "Remember, The Space Show does not endorse or support guest projects, ventures, or business plans. Listeners must rely upon their own judgment and discernment regarding guest comments. The Space Show is not responsible for guest or listener comments, their ventures, or projects. The Space Show is an educational program.
The Space Show now includes 60 second space science and news announcements from Earth and Sky. On archived programs, these announcements can be found at the end of the program. Soon, they will be part of the commercial breaks on the show."

Music
In 1973, the music group Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) dedicated one of its most popular songs "Don't Bring Me Down" to the U.S. space station Skylab.

Films
Films have been used to educate or indoctrinate citizens through informative or dramatic portrayals of ventures into space.

One of the most effective educational films about the space race was The Right Stuff. This film showed the history behind the Mercury Seven astronauts and it helped to give the public a better idea of who these men were and what it took to become an astronaut.

However, in 1986, the movie Space Camp was released. It did poorly in the box office, mainly because it was released five months after the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster, and was seen to be bad taste to continue with its release.

 In 1998 HBO released a television miniseries, From the Earth to the Moon. This was hosted by Tom Hanks whose role in the film Apollo 13 assisted in the success of the series. The series, as explained by Hanks, was to give the viewer an accurate as possible view to the many episodes of the space race.

In 2008 NASA worked with the Discovery Channel, and put together a documentary series entitled When We Left Earth. The documentary used footage of the space race along with interviews from the people who worked on the project. It was also narrated by Gary Sinese, who also played in the Apollo 13 film. The release also coincided with a Presidential campaign in which one of the topics was the next steps of the American space program.

Even though Star Wars was not created as a propaganda film and was created as a science fiction space opera, there are references to the Cold War within the film. At one point during the commentary for Return of the Jedi, George Lucas commented that he wanted the arrival of the Emperor to the Death Star to look intimidating and fearful, "...to look like May Day in Russia."

Several of the James Bond film series: Dr. No, You Only Live Twice, Moonraker, Diamonds Are Forever, GoldenEye, Tomorrow Never Dies, Die Another Day, and Quantum of Solace touch on themes of space exploration. According to John Cork, author of James Bond Legacy, "James Bond was the first hero of the space age.... The Mercury 7 astronauts were being trained right as Dr. No was coming out." The plot of the first Bond film, Dr. No, is about how the villain Dr. No attempts to disrupt the Mercury program. In the film You Only Live Twice, astronauts are held captive in an attempt to initiate World War III. The opening scene of the film depicts astronauts getting killed in space. Satellite weapons and Moon vehicles are depicted in Diamonds Are Forever. Bond becomes the astronaut himself in Moonraker. According to Cork, "They deal with the ideas of manipulation of satellites. They really are dealing with the way the space program works now: We're sending up incredible sophisticated satellites.... Ian Fleming was fascinated by rocketry and space. He even communicated with Arthur C. Clarke."

Public speeches

U.S. President John F. Kennedy
President John F. Kennedy gave a speech arguing for a United States space program. On September 12, 1962, President Kennedy said,

This speech is considered influential in the creation of the Apollo Program.

U.S. President George W. Bush
After the destruction of the Columbia Shuttle in 2003, the Bush Administration tried to reinvigorate NASA with the Constellation Program. The program aimed to build a heavy-lift rocket similar to the Saturn V and establish a Moon base to aid in future missions. President Bush stated, "Today I announce a new plan to explore space and extend a human presence across our solar system. We will begin the effort quickly, using existing programs and personnel. We'll make steady progress -- one mission, one voyage, one landing at a time." The plan called for a new rocket to be in place and usable in 2015, return to the Moon by 2017 and start a permanent lunar base by 2020.

U.S. President Barack Obama
"The bottom line is nobody is more committed to manned space flight, to human exploration of space than I am."

Private sector
The One Giant Leap Foundation is an organization that promotes the peaceful commercialization of space. Below is a direct quotation of its mission statement,

The Space Foundation also recognizes the history associated with space discoveries and advancements and emphasizes the peaceful use of space. Their website states,

Examples used during the Cold War
The successful launch of Sputnik in 1957 undermined the belief of American technological superiority. This event showed that the Soviets were ahead of the Americans. This Soviet achievement put pressure on U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower and was looked on by many as his greatest failure. According to McDougall, "The concomitant arrival of Sputnik and the Third World generalized the problem of the American image. The Soviet challenge and European colonial heritage made it vital for the United States to present and image of progressive anticolonialism."
In the Soviet Union, being the first to reach space was seen as a great victory. Yuri Gagarin's 1961 flight into space was seen by many as another Sputnik moment. Khrushchev stated that Gagarin's flight was the "...greatest triumph of the immortal Lenin's ideas." Egypt's President Nasser stated the "gigantic scientific capabilities of the Soviet people and had no doubt that the launching of man into space will turn upside down not only many scientific views, but also many political and military trends". American newspapers characterized Soviet advancement as: "a psychological victory of the first magnitude"; "new evidence of Soviet superiority"; "cost the nation heavily in prestige"; "marred the political and psychological image of the country abroad"; "Neutral nations may come to believe the wave of the future is Russian."

Gherman Titov's flight into space was seen as a major accomplishment not only for the Soviet Union as a whole but the Premier himself and was boasted about in Pravda which stated that the Premier, "directs the development of the major technical projects in the country, and determines the basic directions of planned growth in cosmic science and technology. In his able proposals there is evidence again and again of his great conviction in the triumph of Soviet rocket technology." Khrushchev felt pressure to put money into missiles and space technology but diverted much of it towards self-serving political objectives.
Another Soviet first was the flight of Valentina Tereshkova, the first woman in space. This was used as a major propaganda theme when she returned in time for the International Congress of Women. It was a symbol of the Soviet woman. Tereshkova went on a world tour as proof of the equality of the sexes in the Soviet Union and the "ever-growing superiority of the socialist order of society over capitalism altogether".
When the Soviet Union launched Voskhod 1, the first spacecraft to carry 3 people, Pravda's headline read, "Sorry Apollo!". The article continued by saying, "...the so-called system of free enterprise is turning out to be powerless in competition with socialism such a complex and modern area as space research."

"If the newspapers printed a despach that the Soviet Union planned sending the first man to Hell, our federal agencies would appear the next day, crying, "We can't let them beat us to it!" --- Hyman Rickover, 1959

When John F. Kennedy became President of the United States there was a question about how to catch up with the Soviet Union. Kennedy did not want to "... place safety about the desire to gain some additional prestige". However, there pressure was there from Congress when Overton Brooks, who was the Chairman of the House Space Committee said, "any step-up in the space program must be designed to accelerate a civilian program of peaceful space exploration and use....This very important from the standpoint of international relations." James E. Webb had a meeting with President Kennedy to help convince him the need to spend resources in the area of space. In this meeting he stated, "...it will be possible through new technology to bring about a whole new areas of international cooperation in meteorology and communications...The extent to which we are leaders in space science and technology will in large measure determine the extent to which we, as a nation, pioneering on a new frontier, will be in a position to develop the emerging world forces and make it the basis for new concepts and application in education, communications, and transportation, looking towards more viable political, social, and economic systems for nations willing to work with us in the years ahead." President Kennedy saw the benefits of the space program as both domestic and international. Kennedy had had a string a failures from Laos to the Congo, the Bay of Pigs Invasion and Gagarin. Vice President Lyndon Johnson was put in charge of America's objectives in space. In a report to President Kennedy he stated, "The Soviets led the United States in prestige; the United States had failed to marshal its superior technological resources; the United States should recognize that countries tend to line up with the country they believe to be the leader; if the United States did not act, the Soviet "margin of control" would get beyond our ability to catch up; even in areas where the Soviets led, the United States had to make aggressive efforts; manned exploration of the Moon was a great propaganda value but was essential whether or not the United States was first." Further on in the meeting Johnson stated, "One can predict with confidence that failure to master space means being second best in the crucial arena of our Cold War world. In the eyes of the world, first in space means first period; second in space is second in everything."

On July 20, 1969 the United States landed on the Moon. This was seen as an American victory in space. The plaque that was left on the base of the lander states that "We came in peace for all mankind".

Yuri Gagarin

Yuri Gagarin was the first man in space. This was a monumental event not only in Soviet history but also world history. It was therefore only natural that a cult of personality developed around the man who was the first in space. His achievement made him and instant celebrity and international hero. The story of Yuri Gagarin made his hero status even more deserving. He was from a common background. His wife recalled a story about a time he was thrown out of a house and had to live in a dugout of a garden for three years during the German occupation of the Soviet Union.  Gagarin had a thirst for knowledge which inspired people to study hard. Also Gagarin was known to have a warm and charming personality with a wonderful sense of humor. As his popularity soared, it also became threatening. President Kennedy did not let Yuri Gagarin tour the United States because he was so popular. The end of his life was seen as such a tragedy that it only added to his popularity. Yuri Gagarin's story was told to millions of people throughout the world. Books, magazines, TV shows, movies have all been created to honor this man. Posters and stamps were issued with Yuri's face on it. April 12 is known as the Day of Space in Russia to commemorate Yuri Gagarin's flight.

John Glenn

In the United States, John Glenn is held in high honors. Being the first American to orbit the Earth was seen as a great American accomplishment. It was an important step to catching up with the Soviet Union during the Space Race. Glenn, in addition to becoming a successful astronaut, also became a successful politician. He successfully ran for the United States Senate. Later on, NASA honored his flight into space with a website that takes the viewer through John Glenn's Mission of Freedom 7. The United States Post Office issued a commemorative stamp. There are also schools named after John Glenn.

Valentina Tereshkova

The USSR launched the first woman (also the first civilian), Valentina Tereshkova, into space on Vostok 6; this was a propaganda stunt rather than a good faith step for women's equality, and possibly a medical experiment. Prior to flying on Vostok 6, Tereshkova worked in a textile factory and was an amateur parachutist. After Gagarin's flight, Nikolai Kamanin, director of cosmonaut training, read in American media about the "Mercury 13", female pilots trying to become astronauts. Although this article noted that the women passed the same medical qualification tests as the male candidates, it must not have mentioned that they were not accepted or trained as astronauts by NASA, and thus had absolutely no chance of being accepted into the all-male test pilot-astronaut community. In his diary, Kamanin wrote, "We cannot allow that the first woman in space will be American. This would be an insult to the patriotic feelings of Soviet women." He got permission to choose a small corps of female cosmonauts; Tereshkova was the only one of five women amateur parachutists to fly.

Although she had to join the Soviet Air Forces to become a cosmonaut, Soviet male test pilots of the 1960s were no more accepting of women in their ranks than their American counterparts, though the Soviet Air Force had three segregated all-women combat air regiments in World War II. On November 3, 1963, Tereshkova married Vostok 3 cosmonaut Andriyan Nikolayev, and they had a daughter, Elena Andrianovna Nikolaeva-Tereshkova, the first person with both a mother and father who had traveled into space.

Kamanin wanted to fly more women on the last two Voskhod flights, but the cancellation of these flights in 1965 put an end to this. The USSR didn't again open its cosmonaut corps to women until 1980, two years after the United States opened its astronaut corps to women.

The term "space race"
Politicians and journalists will use the phrase space race to stimulate controversy, interest, or competition. The term was used during the Cold War to describe the competition between the US and the USSR. Today the phrase is used by journalists frequently to draw attention to competing countries developing technology and access to space. As Time Magazine states, "Space exploration is a powerful rallying point for national pride… The contest may not be accompanied by the blaring cold-war overtones of the last great space race between the U.S. and the Soviet Union. China's space program is conducted largely in secret, and Japan's modest achievements don't make headlines. But plenty is at stake. Over the past few years, a centuries-old rivalry between China and Japan has flared anew. While the two countries are increasingly interdependent economically, relations remain uncomfortably strained as fast-growing China begins to challenge Japan as the preeminent East Asian power. This spring, for example, anti-Japan riots erupted in a number of Chinese cities, and diplomatic disputes over natural-gas-field rights in the East China Sea continue to rage.

Furthermore, journalists also describe how the race can lead to other fearful races. As Kyle Niemeyer discusses in his article Asia's Space Race Could Turn into an Arms Race, "The major Asian nations, including China, Japan, India, and South Korea, are all expanding their space programs with little-to-no cooperation. These efforts are driven by national prestige and geopolitical rivalries, similar to the US-Soviet space race of the 1960s. Like that period, this space race is stimulating technological advances, but competing agendas are leading to duplication of work and mistrust—in other words, a waste of resources. Even worse, this competition is undermining recent cooperation between the US, Russia, and Europe."

Another Time magazine article titled "Sino-Japanese Space Race", states, "With Asia's biggest powers set to launch their first unmanned lunar missions — possibly as early as next month — the countdown has begun in the hottest space race since the United States beat the Soviet Union to the Moon nearly four decades ago."

Examples used in Europe
Europeans are also proud of their contributions to space. As Brid-Aine Parnell points out in her piece for The A Register, "The government is fond of bandying about the idea that the UK space sector already generates £9bn a year, but in fact this is a completely made-up figure concocted by counting Sky TV and a few other "downstream space" companies as though they were satellite makers or something. Chancellor George Osborne said that the increased spending on ESA would bring substantial benefits to the UK adding that the private sector had already identified projects worth up to £1bn that "will flow" from the investment. Clearly, the expectation is that more contracts will come Britain's way if it ups its investment in ESA at a time when other European countries are finding the spare change to fund their existing obligations."

Examples used by the People's Republic of China
The People's Republic of China have also used their accomplishment in space as a form of internal and external propaganda. The word rocket itself means firing arrow. The concept of rocketry was first developed in China during the 3rd century A.D. Modern Chinese advancement are given credit to Tsien Hsue Shen. In 2012 China released a film honoring the 100th anniversary of his birthday. Chinese Communist Party general secretary Hu Jintao opened a library commemorating his birth.
The Cultural Revolution in China affected the space program and there were competing for attention. "Subsequent histories recorded that the revolutionaries spread the slogan that "when the satellite goes up, the red flag goes down' and urged concentration on the political rather than the scientific. However once the Chinese had accomplished a successful satellite launch the official announcement was, "We did it through our own unaided efforts" despite the fact that several Russian scientist had assisted with the program up until the Sino-Soviet split. The Chinese treated the successful launch as one of the greatest events of the century, which included nationwide parades and celebrations. The satellite itself broadcast "the east is Red"

Even though the United States landed on the Moon in 1969, there is no more space race, and the Soviet Union no longer exists, there are still forms of space propaganda. The most widely used of which can be found in the People's Republic of China. The Chinese space program began in the 1960s but it was not internationally recognized until the launching of Shenzhou V, which put China's first astronaut into space. The Chinese had successfully launched a satellite in the 1970s. There was a pause in the Chinese program for a couple decades, but was picked up again and restarted as a way for the party to instill confidence and patriotism. With the rise of its space program it is now considered a modern country that can stand with the west. Col. Yang Liwei became an instant celebrity in China. Millions of stamps were issued with his face on them to show this great accomplishment.

TV commercials in China since 2003 have shown an astronaut walking on the Moon demonstrating the ultimate goal of the Chinese program. Space images in China have been used as a manner of inspiration, but also to bring people under control. It is believed that in the near term China will start using female astronauts to demonstrate further successes with the space program.

China is also using space based missile technology as propaganda. China has developed and tested an anti-satellite weapon. Despite the fact that China has pledged to ban space based weapons, this demonstration to the world proved that they have developed them and could use them if need be.

Nice buildings! maybe you could gather them into a large Georgia skycrapers set.
Thanks for the encouragement vilvoh, I was hoping to paint era specific skyscrapers to make the game a little more realistic..
In any case, I re-painted the State of Georgia building.. I am not completely satisfied with the end result, however it still seems to be an improvement over the initial version (see attached).
Wow, as someone originally from Georgia this is cool as heck.
The Skyscrapers look good out i gedeg in my liberty!

Kagyu Droden Kunchab, St. Louis (KDK STL) is a non-profit Buddhist educational and religious organization under the direction of Lama Lodu Rinpoche. Our mission is to study, practice, and propagate the Buddha Dharma for the benefit of all sentient beings.
The Karmapa described Lama as, "a Lama who has highly developed his inner practice."
Lama Lodu Rinpoche was appointed resident lama of Kagyu Droden Kunchab in San Francisco in 1976 by His Holiness the Gyalwa Karmapa and His Eminence Kalu Rinpoche.
He was born in Sikkim in 1942 into a Tibetan family. His grandfather, Lama Wongten, was held in very high esteem throughout the region as a yogi and general practitioner of the Dharma. Lama Lodu completed his preliminary training and education at the monasteries of His Holiness the Karmapa and His Eminence Kalu Rinpoche. He also studied and trained under the great yogi Drupon Tenzin Rinpoche and His Eminence Thrangu Rinpoche. Lama completed the traditional three-year retreat under H.E. Kalu Rinpoche, and then spent a period of time leading isolated retreats. He then went to Kalu Rinpoche's monastery in Sonada and served for seven years as puja master. Lama taught for two years at various European centers before coming to KDK. His Holiness, the Gyalwa Karmapa during one of his visits to San Francisco, emphasized that those who are interested in the teachings of the Buddha are very fortunate to be involved with KDK and should take advantage of the precious opportunity to study and practice the Dharma with Lama Lodu Rinpoche.
Lama Lodu's teachings are very clear, unique, and profound. They touch the heart of everyone who listens. For example, during an initiation ceremony, Lama will explain every detail. This makes a definite difference in the students understanding of the method and makes it easier to experience the simplicity of the nature of mind.
For every initiation Lama provides a translated sadhana, daily practice text, which previously were not available or had not been translated into English. The translated texts make it easier to understand and practice. Lama is very accommodating to anyone who wants to seriously practice meditation. Along with the text, he provides a full explanation of the specific meditation practice, the lineage of the practice, and answers questions to clarify the students doubts and confusion. Lama will also demonstrate a practice so that one can practice at home, and Lama has taped many of these practices as an additional study aid. Lama Lodu Rinpoche's teachings benefit many people of all ages and levels of experience. His direct insight and simplicity as well as his humor and kindness make these teachings appear as transparent and brightly radiating five colored light, powerfully illuminating the truth. He teaches us to cultivate virtue and avoid wrong actions, stressing the value of true compassion as the key for liberation and supreme knowledge.
In this era of disease, famine, war, and untimely death, we the students of this excellent Lama pray for his good health and long life. We rejoice in his guidance and pray that all may learn loving kindness for each other, and share his limitless profound realization until we reach Enlightenment.
Under Lama's direction, students have completed the three year traditional Karma and Shangpa Kagyu retreat in 1989 and 2009. Fulfilling Kalu Rinpoche's wishes, Lama supervised the acquisition of retreat land in Mendocino, a new three year retreat facility, a week-end retreat facility, and the building of a stupa.
Lama also fulfilled Rinpoche's wishes by rebuilding Kalu Rinpoche's homeland monastery (Ridak) and stupa in Tibet. Lama has supervised the translation of numerous practice texts (sadhana) and has written several books: Bardo Teachings (available through Snow Lion Publications) and The Quintessence of the Animate and Inanimate, Attaining Enlightenment, Maintaining the Bodhisattva Vow, and Homage to Kalu Rinpoche (available from KDK Publications).
Out of the wellspring of his compassion, in the 1990's, Lama Lodu established the Sikkim Children's Educational Fund, a charitable organization which provides room, board, personal care, and a competitive education at the St. Joseph's Convent School in Martam, East Sikkim, his home town in India. Numerous students have graduated from this program to fulfill their dreams of a better life in this impoverished Himalayan region. Please consider lending your support to Rinpoche's mission!

Aussies Vs Yanks in motorcycle stats
MotorbikeWriter on the "wrong" side of the road
· 21st February, 2014 ·1 Comment·1 min read
Americans bought almost as many new motorcycles last year as Australia has registered bikes on the road! Yet Australia has a higher proportion of bike ownership. There were 744,732 registered bikes in Australia last year for a population of just over 23m which means 31.39 people per bike. In the US it's about 8m bikes for 317m people which works out to 39.69 people per bike.
Aussie riders
Australia has experienced an explosion of motorcycle ownership in the past five years, up 31.2% which is the biggest increase in any automotive sector. Western Australia and Queensland experienced the biggest growth, mainly through cashed-up miners buying "toys". In the past five years Queensland has outstripped Victoria in registrations. WA has the highest proportion of bike ownership at 21.5 people per bike, followed by the ACT at 25.3, Tasmania at 25.62 – and who'd blame them with those great riding roads – with Queensland closely behind on 25.78. South Australia has 33.24, Victoria 33.4 and New South Wales has the lowest state proportion of registered bike ownership at 38.6, but the Northern territory as the least with 476.38.
Yank riders
In the US, is it any wonder that South Dakota has the highest proportion of bike ownership when the state plays host to the world's largest motorcycle rally at Sturgis. Each year it attracts more than 400,000 riders for the rally and is expected to reach 1m next year for the 75th anniversary. The northern state has 69,284 bikes registered for a population of 816,598 which is 12 people per bike. Good riding roads in the New England state of New Hampshire probably account for coming in second with 79,266 motorcycles, a population of 1.3m which is one bike for every 17 people. Also not surprising is that Iowa (where Indian is made) and Wisconsin (where Harleys are built) have the third and fourth highest bike ownership.
The state with the lowest motorcycle ownership is where they make the rules … the District of Columbia where it is 172 people per bike. Surprisingly, bike ownership is higher in the northern states where the weather is coldest than in southern and western states where you can ride all year round. Even snowed-in Alaska comes in at number 10 while California is a lowly 43rd.

That is interesting – you see far more bikes on US roads than you do you here and for the most part the drivers seem to see bikes much better than Australian Drivers do. At least that has been my experience over 15 months or so of travel there.
It would interesting to know what breakdown between 'road bikes' and 'dirt bikes' are between the US and here – I suspect that there are many more road bikes per capita in the US than here.

You can stop by and try on the glasses and see the impact for yourself. 80% of people with a red-green CVD will see an improvement in their colour perception while wearing Enchroma glasses. The effect can be instantaneous for some people while for others the impact will be more subtle and take a week or two to become noticeable. We encourage everyone to take the colour vision test on the Enchroma website which will help pre-determine your candidacy. It is important to note that Enchroma lenses do not cure colour blindness or allow wearers to pass standardized colour vision tests. If you do decide to come by our practice to try on the Enchroma glasses, please call ahead and arrange a time so we can help optimize your experience with theses lenses.
It is important to note that 20% of CVD patients who try Encrhoma lenses have a "wow" moment and for 20% of patients there is no impact. The 60% in the middle will have a range of experiences.
