Hello pet lovers and welcome to Pet Lover Geek, powered by PetHub. I'm Lorien Clemens and today we're talking about anxiety. You've got sweet rescues who lived through all sorts of trauma before they even lived with you. We've got the new phenomenon of pandemic puppies who were adopted and then raised from a work-at-home situation and now they're having to deal with mommy and daddy going back to work, and then there's a wide range of other reasons that your pet may or may not have anxiety. So to get to the bottom and dig in, we are going to be talking with Kristen Levine, who's a great friend of mine and she's an expert on this topic because she started Pet Anxiety Awareness Month and she's going to be geeking out with us today; now Kristen if you don't know her already but you should. Kristen Levine is the founder of Pet Living. She's also a founder of Pet PR. She's in fact a member of the PetHub Board and just all around great knowledge source in the industry. So super excited to be geeking out with her about all of the challenges and the solutions of pet anxiety that she's learned along the way, so stick around with us, got a very short break, and then we're going to have our interview with this amazing woman... Kristin Levine.
Kristen, welcome to Pet Lover Geek.
01:34 Kristen Levine
Thank you Lorien! It's so great to be here.
I love having you on the show, I mean you've been on the show like what, four or five times. I don't even know anymore.
And it was funny. We were teasing about how this is going to get ruckus, but it's not, we are gonna stay nice and calm and professional.
It actually did get a little ruckus this during the intro -- I don't know if you could hear it, but my dogs were going crazy, howling and barking, because the UPS truck drove up.
Isn't that funny, that may actually be a source of anxiety for them, you never know. As you know I have a brand new puppy.
I actually hoisted my puppy off onto the other people in the house and I was like keep her quiet. She just goes crazy. So before we get too far afield, I'd love it if you could just kind of do a little quick history for our listeners, about you, what inspired you? And then what led to Pet Anxiety Awareness Month?
I'd be happy to, so I guess, where to begin? You know I've had pets as far back as I can remember. I think my mom said I was two when we got our first dog named Susie, little Beagle, and my first cat, I think I was six and his name was Tabby; and I just always as a kid just was crazy about -- and I mean -- a lot of kids are right, crazy about pets and just wanted to be a veterinarian and just knew somehow I was going to go into the pet field, and then when I moved to Florida to marry my husband, he introduced me to the SPCA here locally in the Bay Area, and I started working there as a volunteer while I was looking for a job and you know, try to you know settle in and make new friends and as I was job hunting a PR job opened up right there at the SPCA, so I ended up working it for 15 years promoting pet adoption, responsible pet care, and you're promoting spaying and neutering, and it was just an incredible experience and I loved it, and it was really fulfilling as you could imagine, you know helping pets get adopted and helping people overcome challenges. And then from there I went on to start my own agency where we worked exclusively with pet and animal health brands and did that for about 12-15 years. I'm still doing that, but somewhere along the way I really missed the direct connection with pet owners that I had back at the SPCA. So that's when I started blogging. That's where Pet Living came to life about six years ago now and it just it gives me an Ave to educate pet owners about how to help their pets have healthier, happier lives and how to find solutions to really common problems, and anxiety, unfortunately, is a really common problem for both dogs and cats.
I mean as you know, because you've known of my pets for what, 7/8/9 years that we've known each other that anxiety comes in so many different shapes and forms and I would love if you could kind of talk about -- you know, what was -- 'cause and I think you even have one of your peppers. Maybe even both of them if not I don't know the new one that well, has been struggling, with anxiety, so I'd love it if you could kind of talk about like what made you go like you know what -- darn it, we need to have an entire month about this, like we can really talk about.
Sure, it all started... This would have been about 12 or 13 years ago. I had a yellow lab mix that we adopted at the SPCA. His name was Buck. He was my, what I call my soul dog, like we were just so connected, and poor buck, he was a quirky dog, he had a lot of issues, and around age 4 we noticed that he was fearful when it would thunderstorm, which here in Florida it does all summer long. And he progressively each year would get more and more anxious and started out where he was just kind of trembling and following me around the house, and got to the point Lorien, where he was beside himself. He would try to climb in my lap. He couldn't get close enough to me, and if I were to leave, you know, God forbid, he would try to escape. So in his later years, and this is not very uncommon, but a lot of dogs that have noise aversion which is, you know, fear of loud noises. They also develop separation anxiety -- there more predisposed to develop separation anxiety in which, and unfortunately he did, and there was a period of two years where my husband and I did not travel anywhere together because someone always had to stay home with Buck. It was that bad, so it disrupted our lifestyle to such a degree that, you know, I knew that I had to use that experience to educate others. You know, the experience was a blessing in disguise because that's how I got introduced to veterinary behaviorists, which are veterinarians that you know they're board certified in animal behavior. So they go to school, you know extra years to focus on kind of being pet psychiatrists. Sort of, and that's when I learned that Buck was literally having a panic attack. And yeah, so that was really the impetus for starting Pet Anxiety Awareness Month. It took me awhile to get around to doing it, and I have to credit you for starting Lost Pet Prevention Month. You did that, I forget which year, it was like 20...
2014 yeah.
You inspired me to finally do something about it, so I have you and Buck to thank.
Well that's really special. I do remember that vaguely, and I think it is important that we have these times were really say like, let's focus on this for a little while, because it's one of those things that like Lost Pet Prevention. It's one of those things. Oh yeah, everybody knows is important, but we get so wrapped up in other things, or we'll hyper focus on one thing, like people do hyper focused, on the noise aversion thing, and particularly with thunderstorms and fireworks that we forget about all the other things that really actually add into all of this -- that really need to have a holistic discussion. So I'm glad you mentioned the veterinarian behaviorists, because that's of course, you know, Pet Lover Geek -- wanna dig into the science. I would love it if you could chat a little bit about you know what is that science behind the pet anxiety? This is neuroscience I assume, and you know, is it the same as humans that suffer from anxiety disorders? Or is it different? Or what makes up the science behind it all?
That's a really great question and I had a really great conversation with Doctor Lisa Radosta. I guess it was last year and I recorded it because it was so informative, and she explained that... getting back to the panic response, you know this is the emotional part of your pets brain. Not the rational part, but the emotional part that is releasing neurochemicals once it's triggered by whatever is causing their fear, whether it's a thunderstorm or fireworks or you leaving the home, and they are afraid of being away from you, their brain releases these neurochemicals that cause a cascade of events, it mixes with hormones in the body, and they just go into varying states of distress. You know, in milder cases they might just be panting or pacing or whining. For cats they might just be hiding, or maybe not eating, and then of course it can ramp up in more serious cases to becoming destructive. Or you know, full blown, you know what we would call a panic attack. The difference, glad you asked the difference between humans and pets, 'cause I'm sure there's a really great scientific explanation for this, but I can make it simple in that we have the ability to understand, you know, the rational reason. We know what the sound is caused by, and we're not afraid, but our dog or our cat. They don't understand where that sound is coming from. What that sound is, it's just frightening to them.
Yeah, yeah and I think that's a key part of it too -- It's a little bit -- I mean, having a toddler in my home right now... it's a little bit like having a toddler -- like they haven't yet gotten to that point of having the logic of understanding like what is causing that, they just know it's happening, and much like a toddler they assume it's about them.
Exactly! Yes, their little worlds revolve around themselves, and I just want to mention we often talk about thunder and fireworks, but noise aversion specifically, I spoke to a woman whose dog would freak out and panic when her Facebook notification would go off. It could be the vacuum cleaner. It could be, you know the lawn mower outside. If you live in a city it could be you know traffic, that kind of thing. So it really can be pervasive. If you have a dog that has noise version.
Yeah, it could be avalanche bombs. That's what we had to deal with, because we used to live -- we just recently moved into town, but we're still living in the same area, but we used to live right below the base of a ski resort, and they start bombing around 4:30 or 5:00 o'clock in the morning if they've had a big snow the night before, and there were times that we would know, like, Okay, they're going to be bombing in the morning. We need to be prepared with this because Ruler is going to freak out. The other dog and the cats could care less, but ruler, oh my gosh, he freaked out, and it literally sometimes... the boom was so intense that would rattle our windows. So it's not that it was, it would be unnerving for us too if we didn't know what it was, but for him it's like exactly what you described with Buck, he would like to try to crawl into my skin just to get close enough to me. So it's a really severe thing. So I'd love it if you can kind of help talk too about -- because the anxiety can present itself in several different ways, and I think sometimes you may be looking at going, oh maybe my pets in pain, or they're angry about something, but there's key distinguishing things when you're looking at a pet and trying to figure out what's going on, whether it's a pain or it's a behavior thing, or whether or nope this is anxiety. So I'd love it if you could kind of talk about those behavioral clues that you're going to get from your animal to let you know that this is possibly anxiety.
Yeah, sure, and obviously it's going to vary from dog to dog and cat to cat, but generally speaking, some of the symptoms of fear, and I'm going to call it fear, stress, or anxiety because we tend to use the word anxiety as like the umbrella term, but it could be fear based as well and stress, it could be pacing, it could be whining, it could be inappropriate urination or defecation in the home, it could be barking or howling, like my little, my new little pandemic puppy howls when she is fearful, and which is really annoying. It's really a sharp high-pitched howl... chewing -- destroying things, digging, trembling, even dilated pupils, excessive licking, and some of the symptoms of pain may look the same, so excessive licking or trembling or avoiding you know interactions. So I think you your pet best and you probably could tell the difference if your pet is in pain versus in mental pain, but those are some really common dog symptoms, and then for cats it's a little bit more difficult because those kitties are tricky. They are so good at masking. You know medical issues, pain, stress, etc. Plus some of the anxiety symptoms in cats are also kind of things we expect from cats like hiding, social withdrawal, you know, pacing, clinginess things like that. Even aggression can be a sign of fear or anxiety. So a lot of these behaviors could represent different things but you as the pet parent are going to be likely to identify when it's a problem.
Yeah, well isn't it too about, at least from my experience, having had multiple animals that had some kind of anxiety, at some level, a lot of it for me was going like, huh? That always happens when X is happening.
And so then it became related to the trigger, and that's when I went, I wonder if this is fear. I wonder if this is anxiety.
Exactly. Yeah, exactly. You consider their environment, the surroundings and their personality to kind of figure -- if it's not obvious. You could figure it out using those tools.
Yeah, so there's clearly, there's a wide variety, this big menu to choose from. In terms of like you know, choose your challenge. So let's talk about the menu of solutions that are out there. What kinds of things can we be doing to help alleviate the fear and the stress and the anxiety?
Sure, best case scenario is that we start with our pets when they're young. If we're fortunate enough to be in a position to know what to look for and know what to do, then here's some tips for you. For example, like I said, I live in a very thunderstorm prone area, so, you can start to desensitize your puppy or your kitten when it storms. You have a party, you get treats, you get out and play. Maybe that's when you use for some basic obedience training time. Also they make thunderstorm sounds that you can play at a lower volume and slowly increase it, and then you know reward your pet. Have them associate that noise with positive things that happen. So just think about how you can desensitize your pet from certain things, or even going to the veterinarian can be very stressful for a lot of pets. So there are a lot of ways you can make that a more positive experience. I refer to fear free on our pet anxiety awareness page, which that's a whole other show. As you know.
Yeah totally.
We can do, but if your pets already an adult and oftentimes they are already adults. They don't necessarily -- they aren't always born with this fear, right? It develops overtime. So by the time that you know we're recognizing these symptoms, it's kind of too late to start the desensitization process.
Well or you might be getting them after they've already come with a bunch of baggage when you adopt them from the shelter.
Absolutely, you have no idea what their history is, but there you know there are a lot of natural ways and holistic things you can do to help them through this. So for example, it's always great to have a pet that's well exercised because a tired pet is going to be less anxious to begin with. Also, behavior modification, if you, let's talk about separation anxiety for a second, 'cause this is a really big popular topic right now with people starting to go back to previous routines and you know we spent maybe 24/7 a day with our pets and now maybe we're going back into the workplace and they're not liking it because they really like us hanging out at home all day.
so sometimes just merely putting on your shoes can be a sign for your pet, that oh my gosh, she's leaving, oh no she's leaving, or picking up the keys. You know they pick up on clues that we would never even imagine that they pick up on, so you can start preparing them for you leaving the home for extended periods of time by leaving for shorter periods of time, and then coming back, and when you come back in, let's say you start out with just may be leaving the house for 5 or 10 minutes, when you come back in, don't celebrate, don't you know, they are excited to see you but just kind of be very normal and nonchalant, and then you know, after they, you kind of have been in the home for a few minutes, then you can greet them and welcome them. You want to stop like making it a really big deal when you come home, because then they're going to really be stressed out when you leave.
That's interesting. I've never, it never occur to me that because that is one of the most joyful things is to come home to that exuberant, like and, it's just like easy to get wrapped up in that, but it never occurred to me that then, like the entire time I'm gone, she's waiting for me to come back so that she could have that toy, you know.
Yeah exactly, and it's as much fun for us as it is for them, because, you know, no human is ever that excited to see us.
Yeah no, totally.
But those are some of the things in terms of, like behavior modification that you can do. And then of course there are some natural supplements on the market, oh my gosh, there's so many CBD oils and chews and one of our sponsors this year for pet anxiety awareness is ThunderWorks, and that's the company that created the Thunder Shirt, and so you can use a pressure wrap, like a thunder shirt which is you know, provides a calming experience for the animal, they have Thunder Wonders that are really tasty chew treats that have L-theanine and melatonin in them. These are all things that, you know, are proven to help calm pets, it's just that every pet is different, so you might have to try different supplements and tools to figure out what works best for your pet, and oftentimes what works best is a layered approach, where you know, like. You know, Chili wears a Thunder Shirt and he gets melatonin, whereas you know Tulip is fine with just her Thunder Shirt on so. You have to do a little bit of experimenting, but let's see what else so pheromones, Oh my gosh, pheromones are fantastic. This is synthetic version of the hormone that female cats or dogs produce when they're nursing and you can buy them in a diffuser or in a spray and I think most, a couple of companies offer them in a collar too. Feel Away and Adapto are the two that come to mind. And this also has a very good calming effect on pets, especially for cats, that's a really great tool for cats, because sometimes it's harder to get cats to actually eat a supplement. It just depends on your kitty. And then I've recently started. Well, actually it's been about a year ago when I got my puppy Tulip during the pandemic. I started giving her this life stage supplement by Vetericyn. It's called All In and I bought it for her just because I wanted her to have all the nutrients that puppy should have, but when I was reading more about it, I learned that it also has, let me just see I wrote this down so I didn't get it wrong. It's got memo REM neuro complex which is supplemented with hydroxy tryptophan, valerian root extract, and ginkgo biloba to promote a restful sleep, reduce anxiety and improve memory in aging dogs, so you can get this formula in adult, puppy or senior, but this is the only supplement I've come across that has that mental health benefit, and it's not marketed as a calming supplement, but it does have that benefit.
I mean, you know me, I'm a scientist like ok, so what was with with or without? Like, could you see a difference when she's not on it? Or is it something she's been on it continually and you just know that she's doing well?
You know she's been on it continually since probably she was four months old, so I can't really tell how it's helped her, but I you know, I have spoken to -- I actually got to interview the scientists that helped vetericyn formulate this particular supplement, and it's really interesting you would love, you would geek out on this. This could be a different show, but they created this supplement to be absorbed 10 times better than any other supplement on the market, and obviously we spend a lot of money on supplements. They're not cheap, so you don't want them to just pass through your dog and end up on the grass outside, and so they have found a way through this special protein technology that helps your dog absorb more of the supplement itself, and more of the nutrition from the food that they're eating. So it does a lot of cool things, and it just so happens that this neuro complex is one of the benefits. And then this is one that I've been noticing marketed a lot lately, and I want to try it, but it's called the Calmer Canine SCC loop, are you familiar with that?
No, I'm not familiar with it at all, do tell.
This is another one I have to look at my notes because I will butcher it if I don't, okay, so the Calmer Canine device, it delivers targeted pulsed electromagnetic field signals to the area of the brain that are responsible for causing the symptoms of anxiety.
So it's like a biofeedback tool.
It's a biofeedback tool, yeah, exactly and I notice that Sleepy Pod, the company that makes those beautiful carriers and harness, they have actually incorporate -- I guess they licensed the technology, they have one of these devices in their carriers now. Yeah so pretty cool.
Yeah, that's actually something I definitely want to check out, they're a tremendous company too.
And I thought that there was another one out on the market, another like jacket kind of thing that also had some sort of...
Oh yes, it's called Calmz, C.A.L.M.Z. It's a Petmate product and it uses pulse therapy and it sits like right at the base of their neck, that one had some really good success stories I know and let's see what else, I mean music of course, music is a great one too and there are a lot of different companies that have devices or soundtracks, you know some pet acoustics, Icalm, Pet Tunes, and there's a new company, I'll give you a little teaser here. called Zounds. It was started by a music producer, and it hasn't been launched yet, but they're going to do something really, really unique and it will be available through an app, so I don't want to give away too much because, you know they're not launched yet, but music is really helpful. That's actually one of the things we used with Buck before he passed away. I would play Through a Dogs Ear music for him when I knew it was going to be storming, and that definitely had a calming effect on him.
Yeah, and we use Through a Dogs Ear stuff as well and found that worked really well. The Victoria Stilwell actually put us on to that one.
Yeah, exactly-exactly.
And I think the key thing there is that you mentioned, when you know that there's a storm coming. And that for us, I mean obviously some types of anxiety things you just can't predict.
But prevention is everything and being on top of it and knowing this is getting ready to happen but set this up for success. Now I think is key. 'cause it's harder to get them down off that ledge.
It is. Once they've ramped up and you know the neurochemicals have dumped and the hormones of dump, then it you know it's -- what do they say? The horse is out of the gate.
Yeah, yeah.
But yeah absolutely. Prevention is key and having -- knowing that that trigger is about to happen. Which if we're lucky enough for that to be the case, that's great and then of course you know about Dog TV?
Yeah, that's actually the one I was thinking. And there's one we have talk about like, yeah so talk a little bit about Dog TV who one of my favorite companies out there. I Love the product. Talk about it.
I do too. So yeah, Dog TV was -- I guess it's been around for probably six or seven years now, but it is a channel -- it's a streaming channel and available on a lot of satellite networks, cable networks... for dogs. It's television designed for dogs and it's visually and audibly, is that how you say it?
Auditorily.
Auditorily designed for dogs ears and for dogs eyes. So if you are watching this programming, it'll look a little strange. The colors look a little bit yellow or green, but that's because the dogs could see that better and it's really cool content like it's video of dogs walking through a park or playing in a park or its visuals of nature or the trees blowing in the wind and pleasant sounds, and I have to say I was skeptical at first, but Chile has been a longtime watcher of Dog TV. I leave it on during the day when I'm working up in my Home Office. I leave it on downstairs and they they love to watch it and even if they're not watching it, if they're sleeping while it's on, it's still very soothing and calming.
Yeah, and I got to tell you too. So cats and toddlers also respond very positively.
Oh good! That is awesome.
Yeah, it's funny because I had it playing in the background. You can get it on Roku too, which is fantastic. I was so excited when we got a new Roku. I was like, oh, that's awesome. But yeah, I had it on in the background while I was trying to do laundry and folding and whatnot and actually it was during one of their free periods where you can do it for free, which are great. They do them every so often. So if you're skeptical like Kristen says, check it out because it's really cool. But yeah, everybody in the room except for me was like riveted to the TV. The cats, the dog, and the toddler, and I was like going sweet, I can get some laundry done.
Exactly. Yeah, if you go to their website you can sign up for their newsletter and you're right, they do those free periods quite frequently so you can find out when the next one -- actually they, I know they're going to be having a separation anxiety event on Dog TV on I think it's on June 12th and that's a free event, even if you don't have Dog TV. So yeah, they are our supporter and then I have to talk about veterinary solutions too because there are times, like in Buck's case, where unfortunately, I wasn't educated when I started to see those symptoms, so it took us a while to kind of figure out what to do, and by then you know he had kind of this neural pattern in place already. It was very difficult, if not impossible to reverse. So when you notice that the symptoms are getting increasingly worse or whatever you're doing, or using doesn't seem to be working anymore, that's when you want to talk to your veterinarian, and unfortunately you know fear and anxiety in pets is not often diagnosed because people don't think to always talk to their vet about it. You know, especially if you're going in for pets annual exam, you get the shots. You know you're just getting the overall physical exam and you might not think about it. 'cause it's not top of mind, but these are medical conditions, specifically noise aversion and separation anxiety that can be treated through a combination of behavior modification and medication when necessary, and Sileo is a an FDA approved medication for noise aversion. That is a big supporter of pet anxiety awareness and Chile has unfortunately, his noise aversion had progressed to the point where he needed, you know, some medical help for the really loud, nasty, scary thunderstorms, and always for fireworks, so we give him Sileo and that is one that you do have to kind of know it's coming up so you have to be watching the weather, or you know, on the 4th of July, usually around 4:00 or 5:00 o'clock in the afternoon is when we start to give it to him, but it's very safe and we had terrific results with it and he's much calmer.
We actually have discussed doing kitty Prozac because we have a cat who because it's it's. It's one of those things. Although we did and you mentioned Feel Away earlier so give nice shout out to them. I will say that since we started using the Feel Away, didn't see immediate results, but without making any other changes over 3 or 4 days, the behavior kind of stopped. In our case of having to change environments to deal with a senior cat. It made the younger cat freak out a little bit about this is not the way it's supposed to be guys, because we had to change bathroom accommodations and everything is better and I do. I think it raised his anxiety about a lot of things that he would seem very on. You know, whenever somebody would come near where the bathroom was and everything like that and it led to some bathroom behavior issues that were not acceptable for us.
Yeah and for cats, just minor changes in the household can cause them anxiety. It doesn't always take very much. They like to be in control of their environment and a lot of those negative behaviors and those symptoms pop up when either a new pet enters the home or or you -- did that happen when you moved?
No, actually funny thing it didn't happen when we moved, when it happened was we had the senior cat, who you know, we finally decided we have to lock her up at night. We have to make it so that she can't have free roam the house 'cause otherwise we wake up to little presents all over the house because of her intestinal issues that she has, and she does seem to do better if she's staying in one place, and so basically to save that stress for us. We said okay at night. She's going to be in the cat room by herself, and so we had at first tried to put both cats in the cat room at night while Tormund our younger cat was like I don't think so dudes, he literally like figured out how to open up this big heavy door to actually, comedy of errors, just trying to keep that door locked and then we decided, well, let's give him a separate place so he could have free roam. Let's create a separate bathroom space for him. We already had two bathroom spaces already, but they both tended to be the closed up part. So we created another free bathroom space for him and he did a little bit better, but he still clearly was freaking out. You know, like this is not the way it's supposed to be guys and you know when we had moved, he didn't even really have a blip. We kind of kept, you know status quo, we just basically took the same situation we had the old house and we put it in the new house and they had a cat room where he had all the toys and you know things like that, but anyway, the Feel Away -- I was kind of skeptical about it, but the vet suggested it, and I think three or four days after using it was when the behavior stopped and we haven't any, knock on wood, haven't had any issues since, so you know.
It can take some time. Yeah were you using the diffusers?
Yeah, the diffusers and you know and I can't smell it but I will say this like, he every now and then will go up against it like rub up against one of the plug in things you know, and I'm like... so he knows what's going on.
He's like I know your secret.
He seems fine with it so, and the biggest thing is that the behavior was modified with that, like he stopped. He stopped basically peeing in places that he shouldn't, but yeah, we only have a couple minutes left. I want to make sure that folks know where to go to get all this information. I mean, they're probably, you know, furiously taking notes, but where can I go to find all this stuff at my fingertips?
Sure, you can just go to petanxietyawareness.com, if you can't remember that. Just Google Pet Living and you can find it. It'll be on the home page. You can click through to it, and we've got tons of resources there. Video interviews with expert veterinarians, behaviorists, articles, books and I have to thank you Lorien and PetHub for being one of our industry partners this year, for helping us to share the word about this because really, the goal is to just educate pet owners about how to recognize the signs and the symptoms so that you can get your pet the help that they need, so that it doesn't progress to become a really chronic issue. We're kind of positioning it specifically towards separation anxiety this year just because so many folks are already experiencing those types of symptoms or will be, and so I'm excited that Reconcile has joined our partnership this year. They are a FDA approved drug for separation anxiety.
Oh nice, how timely, yeah and as far as us working with you, we consider it a natural fit for what we are trying to do with not only helping people raise their pets in the best way possible, but also as far as a lost pet prevention tool. Pet anxiety leads to pets going missing every year, so it's a big part of preventing pets from going missing, is keeping them safe and happy at home. So yeah, we are very happy and feel honored to be part of the whole thing. So thank you so much for joining us today Kristen, always a pleasure.
It's always my pleasure. I look forward to whatever are next interviews about.

Henry Carlton Newton (1896-1981)
Born on July 7, 1896 in Rankin, Illinois, Henry Carlton Newton studied architecture at Los Angeles Polytechnic. He served during World War I as a second lieutenant in the field artillery before returning home to teach architecture at The University of California. In addition to his lectures, he accepted a commission in the 160th Infantry Regiment, National Guard of California which continued for the next two decades. A devout Catholic, he designed a number of churches in Los Angeles, most notably the Precious Blood Catholic Church. He was elected to the American Institute of Architects (AIA) in 1932 and named a Fellow in 1943.
In 1940 the 160th was called into active service. Newton was transferred to the armored branch at Fort Knox, Kentucky, where he commanded the Armored Officers' School affectionately nicknamed "Newton's College" by the school's students and graduates. He served as Deputy Commanding General of the 12th Armored Division in Camp Barkeley, Texas, which eventually deployed to the European Theater as part of General Patton's U.S. Third Army.
In early 1944 Newton was selected by the Roberts Commission to coordinate the work of the MFAA in the European Theater of Operations (ETO). The highest ranking member of the AIA in the Armed Forces at the time, Newton was highly regarded by his peers for his knowledge of the inner workings of the military and his keen organizational abilities. His detailed plan, "Tentative Program for the American Commission for the Protection and Salvage of Artistic and Historic Monuments in Europe" served as the basic framework for the work of the MFAA for years to come.
During the course of his service with the MFAA, Newton served in several positions, including War Department Representative of the MFAA to SHAEF (May to September 1944), field inspector and advisor to the MFAA in Italy (September to November 1944), Deputy Chief of the MFAA (December 1944 to February 1945), Chief of the MFAA branch, Reparation, Deliveries and Restitution (RD&R) Division (March to May 1945), and Chief of Ministerial Archives (May to October 1945). While Newton left the MFAA in October 1945, he volunteered to remain in Europe as Assistant Commandant of the newly formed U.S. Constabulary School in Sonthofen, Bavaria. In 1948 he was transferred to the U.S. Army's Kitzingen Training Center in the Franconian region of Bavaria, the largest school and training command in Europe. Upon returning to the United States in 1950, he was assigned as Assistant Commandant at the U.S. Army Intelligence School at Ft. Holabird, Maryland, and later served as Director of Instruction and Assistant Commandant at the Armored School at Ft. Knox. For his devoted service to his country, he was awarded the Bronze Star and the Legion of Merit with Oak Leaf Cluster.
In July 1956, Newton retired from the U.S. Army after a remarkable military career that spanned almost forty years of service and two World Wars. Settling down in the Washington, D.C. area, he became a founding member of the Board of Regents of Marymount University in Arlington, Virginia. Over the next decade, he served as Chairman of the college's building committee, Chairman of the Board of Trustees, and was awarded the university's President's Award in 1969. In later years, he served as a consultant to the U.S. Secretary of Defense, where he conducted major staff studies designed to improve the U.S. Army School System.
Henry Newton died on November 20, 1981 in Washington D.C. He is buried at Arlington National Cemetery.*

The first two asset protection trust states were Alaska and Delaware (1997). Two years later (1999) Rhode Island and Nevada followed suit with their domestic asset protection trusts (DAPT) statutes. There are 12 other states that now (as of this writing) have DAPT laws on their books. These are: Utah (2003), Oklahoma (2004), Missouri (2005), South Dakota (2005), Tennessee (2007), Wyoming (2007), New Hampshire (2009), Hawaii (2010), Virginia (2012), Ohio (2013), Mississippi (2014), and West Virginia (2016). The four most populous states, California, Texas, Florida and New York have not adopted these statutes.
Each jurisdiction clearly defines the regulations that DAPT settlors have to follow in order for their trust to be valid. It's interesting to note that no existing DAPT has been tested all the way through the US court system. Industry experts surmise this is because nearly every concerned party believes that DAPTs will hold up in court. If they bring a debtor to court at all, creditors are more likely to settle for much less when they find out that the assets they hope to access are protected by a DAPT. An out-of-court settlement is considered a win for a debtor/trust settlor. The amount is often significantly less than a creditor/plaintiff's original figure. Additionally, the debtor is spared from having to shoulder the cost a protracted court battle, which can be prohibitive.
The big problem we have seen with domestic trusts is that they are subject to domestic judges. Many judges issue results-oriented rulings with more regard to their ultimate motive than with regard to the law. Many attorneys we make this comment to spout, "Yes, that's the story of my life." This is the reason we have two types of law. "Statutory law," which is written in the law books. Then we have "case law," which is how these laws play out in the courtroom. We have seen domestic trusts breached repeatedly by such members of the local judiciary. Moreover, they often do not hold up unless you live in that state. For example we have repeatedly seen California asset protection trust case law where judge's rule based on local statutes and ignore the out-of-state trust legislation. For example, the judge says to the Nevada trustee, in essence, "Nevada has asset protection trust state laws. California doesn't. Your client lives in California, so turn over the money." We have seen the same results in federal court. Therefore, if you want asset protection that works, the bottom line is this: set up an offshore asset protection trust. The main reason is that offshore trustees are not subject to U.S. court orders.
To significantly increase protection, one should hold assets in an offshore asset protection trusts (OAPT). In fact, foreign jurisdictions were the first to offer asset protection trusts. In the beginning, OAPTs were strictly for extremely wealthy individuals. No longer. Professionals in fields with a high risk for litigation have turned to OAPTs to help protect their hard-earned assets. This includes physicians, executives, lawyers, and successful business owners. This is not just from North America, but from other regions as well.
The preeminent offshore asset protection trust jurisdictions are Cook Islands, Nevis and Belize, in that order. The statute of limitations on fraudulent conveyance timelines in these jurisdictions are short. That is, once a period of time has elapsed, their courts will refuse to entertain challenges to the transfer of assets into the trust.
OAPTs have a number of advantages over DAPTs. They are governed by countries with laws that tend to favor trust settlors rather than their challengers. For instance, their regulations on fraudulent conveyance are more liberal compared to the regulations in the United States. Very briefly, transfers to a trust may be deemed fraudulent for one main reason. That is, if they are judged by a court to have been transferred with the intent to keep them away from a creditor's legitimate claim. With few exceptions (Nevada and Ohio, for example), most DAPTs have look-back windows of four years. This means, assets transferred to DAPTs, in states other than Nevada and Ohio, are deemed safe and non-fraudulent if they have been transferred longer than four years from the date the lawsuit was filed. By comparison, many OAPTs have a much shorter statute of limitations on fraudulent conveyance. Typically, this is only two years. Belizean courts will not even entertain a claim of fraudulent transfer, for certain claims, against any trust that has been properly established under its law.
There are several other differences between offshore and domestic asset protection trusts, often ending up with offshore jurisdictions handily beating their domestic counterparts. So, why even consider setting up a DAPT when international locations give asset owners so much more? Some uneducated asset owners are simply not comfortable housing their assets in such far-flung locations. Others are wary entrusting their assets to foreign trustees who are not governed by U.S. laws. And some Americans simply prefer to fly under the radar at the current time when a nation-wide climate of distrust seems to label any foreign connection as suspicious. So, we offer a hybrid option called a Trigger Trust TM that is a domestic trust initially, that turns into an offshore one when the need arises. With so many options, it is best to sit down with an asset protection expert to help you make this decision.
An asset protection trust is a vehicle that holds and safeguards an individual's possessions from creditors, judgements, and lawsuits. A trust has its own legal identity that is separate from its settlor. It can own property as well as stocks and bonds, maintain bank accounts, engage in business, and enter into contracts. It is the trustee who engages in these activities on behalf of the trust. It is this clear distinction between a trust settlor and the trust assets that protects the assets. When a settlor is sued and ordered to pay restitution, the creditor/plaintiff cannot touch the assets held in a trust since, legally speaking, they no longer belong to the settlor. The wall that exists between settlor and trust is an effective armor of protection that is not easily breached.
An asset protection trust is a versatile and potent instrument. It can stand alone or (ideally) be an integral part of an estate planning scheme. It can be paired with a limited liability company (LLC) to provide added layers of protection. Plus, when you hold an LLC inside of your trust, you now have a company you can manage to control trust assets while the waters are calm. When legal bullets fly, you simply have the trustee step in as LLC manager. The role and prominence that an asset protection trust plays in defending and preserving wealth largely depends on an individual's circumstances. In setting up an asset protection trust, it is important to keep in mind that there is no such thing as an asset protection template. Every person's needs, plans, and circumstances differ. So, consult a seasoned asset protection planner who knows from experience which legal tools work in which circumstances. There is no one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to trusts. Beware of an asset protection professional who maintains otherwise.
As its name suggests, an asset protection trust shields and preserves an individual's possessions and resources. There has been an increase in the number of jurisdictions that allow for the establishment of asset protection trusts. As we have covered, in addition to U.S. states that offer domestic trusts, individuals also have the option to set up offshore asset protection trusts. There are advantages and disadvantages connected with each option. The challenge for asset owners is to decide which asset protection instrument offers the best shield for their assets. No matter which asset protection trust you select, it is crucial to act decisively. Unprotected assets are tantalizingly attractive to predatory plaintiffs. The sooner you have your assets fortified by an instrument such as an asset protection trust, the safer they will be.
The strength of an asset protection trust lies partially in its irrevocability. Once a settlor or grantor transfers an asset to the trust, he or she separates himself or herself from the asset. It now belongs to the trust, which is under the control of a trustee. This way, should a creditor attempt to attack the settlor's assets held in the trust he faces a tremendous barrier. This is because the settlor no longer owns them. However, in a handful of jurisdictions, a settlor can continue to derive benefits from the assets according to the terms of the trust that were set forth when it was established.
In order for a trust to further protect assets, it must be a spendthrift trust. This means a beneficiary cannot assign his or her interest in the trust to a third party, such as a creditor who has won a case against them in court. If a benefit has already been disbursed to the settlor/debtor, it becomes fair game for the triumphant creditor. However, the trust can withhold the disbursement of the benefit, thereby preventing a creditor from laying claim to them. For this reason, a trust grantor cannot also act as the trustee. Otherwise, the court can simply order the trustee (who has lost a case in court) to pay restitution to the creditor, exposing the assets in the trust which he controls.
For added protection, trusts established in the United States should ideally be administered in the state where it has been established. Some trust administration can take place outside the state, such as administration of real estate property outside state lines. But as a rule, it is best if most of the trust administration activity takes place in the trust's home state. It is prudent to establish a strong connection to the state where the trust is domiciled. This link can play a pivotal role in court when the legitimacy of a trust set up in a non-resident state is challenged. As indicated above, a settlor may have to reside in the state where the trust is setup in order to enjoy its protection.
Asset protection is no longer a concern solely for ultra-rich individuals. Nowadays, it seems almost everyone has a reason to sue just about everyone else. Successful professionals working in fields with a high risk of litigation need to be more proactive in protecting their assets. An asset protection trust is an effective vehicle that offers several benefits. It may seem ironic, but sometimes the best way to protect your assets is to surrender control over them. This is precisely what asset owners do when they establish an asset protection trust. By erecting a wall between them and their assets, it legitimately places their assets beyond the reach of creditors. It can also act as a deterrent because creditors know they have to work harder to get at your assets held in a trust.
Asset protection trusts can be established domestically (in 16 states) or in offshore locations. There are pros and cons attached to both. They key to making this decision lies in your individual goals, needs, and current and future plans. Only when you have secured your assets can you kick back and live the life you want, knowing that the assets you have worked hard for are safe. Seek out an asset protection professional who recognizes that every asset protection plan must be tailored to a client's specific circumstances. Anyone else who holds a contrary view will be doing you a disservice.

Updated: March 6, 2018, 9:46 p.m.
The public was split on the new and more strict regulations of vacation rental homes being considered by the Hall County Board of Commissioners on Tuesday.
Deep changes to how the county controls vacation rentals — including new limits on the number of people and parked cars allowed at a home at one time and a ban on vacation rentals in the Residential-I zone, where they're currently allowed — are working their way through the public approval process this month.
The first hearing took place at the commission's Tuesday voting meeting, and the final vote is set for March 22.
The ordinance not only tightens restrictions on vacation rentals in the county but empowers the Hall County Marshal's Office to troll online rental sites like VRBO and AirBnb to make contact with people renting their homes without a license. Violating the code can carry a fine of up to $1,000 for repeat offenders in a single year.
Even in existing code, renters are required to get a business license and collect hotel taxes for the county, but almost no one cooperates with the regulations; there are only eight existing vacation rental licenses in the county while dozens and dozens of properties are available online.
New regulations have enjoyed support from many permanent residents around Lake Lanier, but the issue has also irritated homeowners who see their property rights being eroded.
On Tuesday, county commissioners softened the proposed rules to allow vacation rentals in the vacation cottage zone without the approval of the Hall County Planning Commission or the Board of Commissioners. In a unanimous vote, commissioners also moved to allow owners of large homes that sleep 16 or more people and accommodate seven or more vehicles to apply for variances with the Hall County Planning Department.
"We're trying to find a balance," said Commission Chairman Richard Higgins, who offered the changes to the new rules.
The previous version of the regulations put hard caps on numbers of people allowed in homes and parked vehicles, requiring any property over the threshold to meet commercial building code and ADA rules — rules that would require hugely expensive construction, equipment and inspections in homes.
No more than seven vehicles can be parked at a vacation rental property without a variance.
Each bedroom, adjoining hallway and common area must have a working smoke detector.
Vacation rentals with an approved occupancy of 16 or more people are considered "non-regular residences" and would require an onsite inspection and compliance with commercial building codes. This limit is up from the original six people.
If a business license for a vacation rental is secured, the owner of the rental is required to pay for the county to send letters to all neighbors within 500 feet alerting them to the license.
In the first public hearing on Tuesday, the public was split on the issue.
Amanda Swafford, who lives near Flowery Branch, said she and a group of about 10 girlfriends — a group of married women with children — get together for trips each year and often rely on vacation rentals.
John Rogers, a local businessman, took a similar stance.
Meanwhile, lake residents Mandy Harris and Joyce Millwood laid out their horrible experiences with inconsiderate and even frightening people who rented out a neighboring home for a weekend.
Before the end of the meeting, commission members invited feedback and said they were trying to find middle ground for property owners.
The final vote and public hearing on the changes is set for March 22.

Madden NFL 19 returns to PC for the first time in more than a decade
NFL football is back
By Shawn Knight on June 11, 2018 9
Why it matters: With NCAA Football no longer in production, Madden continues its reign as the premiere American football franchise. Fans have enjoyed annual releases since the early 90s and 2018 looks to be no exception.
Madden NFL is heading back to the PC. At its EA Play press conference this weekend ahead of the official start of E3 2018, EA announced that Madden NFL 19 will launch on August 10 for Windows PC in addition to its previously announced plans for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
The last game in the franchise compatible with PC was Madden NFL 08 in the summer of 2007.
Notably missing from the supported platform list is the Nintendo Switch. Producer Ben Haumiller told GameSpot that they always think about every platform out there, adding that it's really a decision of what's best for Madden, the team at EA and where they are going.
Madden also skipped the Switch in 2017, making this the second year in a row that the popular football franchise won't be available on Nintendo's hybrid console.
Haumiller said they would never rule out bringing a game to fans but they simply don't have any current plans right now.
Like last year's offering, Madden NFL 19 will be powered by the Frostbite gaming engine.
John Madden Football was recently inducted into the World Video Game Hall of Fame alongside other favorites like Tomb Raider, Final Fantasy VII and Spacewar!
EA is planning at least two editions of the game – the standard edition and the Hall of Fame edition. Wide receiver Terrell Owens will grace the cover of the HOF edition, we're told. No word yet on who gets the assignment for the standard edition.

WA--Seattle-area predator preacher accused; Victims respond
For immediate release: Wednesday, July 20, 2016
Statement by Barbara Dorris of St. Louis, Outreach Director of SNAP, the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests (314 503 0003 cell, bdorris@SNAPnetwork.org)
A Bellingham pastor is accused of sexually abusing a girl for two years. Now, his current and former church colleagues and members must aggressively reach out to others who may have information or suspicions about his alleged crimes or possible church cover ups.
http://www.bellinghamherald.com/news/local/crime/article90671007.html
Christopher L. Trent of the Orleans Street Baptist Church will soon face formal charges. But we strongly suspect he has abused others – either in Washington or Oklahoma. It's not enough for his supervisors and colleagues to claim they're "cooperating" with law enforcement. They must use their resources – church websites, bulletins, mailing lists and pulpit announcements – to seek out victims, witnesses and whistleblowers and beg them to call secular authorities.
Josh Carter, the top pastor at Bellingham Baptist, must lead the way with courage and compassion. But this duty - to reach out to the lost, wounded sheep – falls on every person who is or was associated with this congregation.
No matter what prosecutors, judges or church officials do or don't do, we urge every single person who saw, suspected or suffered child sex crimes and cover ups in Baptist churches or institutions to protect kids by calling police, get help by calling therapists, expose wrongdoers by calling law enforcement, get justice by calling attorneys, and be comforted by calling support groups like ours. This is how kids will be safer, adults will recover, criminals will be prosecuted, cover ups will be deterred and the truth will surface.
Finally, no one should call this "a relationship." That's inaccurate and hurtful. A child cannot consent to any kind of sex involving an adult. So calling child sex crimes "relationships" gives the false impression of equality where there can be none and ignores or minimizes the devastating exploitation, deceit and manipulation by shrewd predators.
If I rob a bank, or steal from one through embezzle from one, my actions are correctly labelled "a crime," not "a relationship" with the bank.
(SNAP, the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, is the world's oldest and largest support group for clergy abuse victims. SNAP was founded in 1988 and has more than 20,000 members. Despite the word "priest" in our title, we have members who were molested by religious figures of all denominations, including nuns, rabbis, bishops, and Protestant ministers. Our website is SNAPnetwork.org)

Ex-youth pastor at Bellingham church accused of raping girl
Christopher L. Trent, 37, served as a youth pastor at Bellingham Baptist Church
He is accused of sexually abusing a girl who went to his church
Trent moved from Oklahoma to Bellingham three years ago
BY CALEB HUTTON, chutton@bhamherald.com
A former youth pastor at Bellingham Baptist Church has been arrested on suspicion of sexually abusing a teenage girl over the course of two years.
Christopher L. Trent, 37, a pastor at the Orleans Street church for the past three years, rubbed his face with his hands and wiped away tears with the collar of a green inmate uniform, as a deputy prosecutor read from a Bellingham detective's report in courtTuesday afternoon, July 19.
The alleged victim reported she was under the age of 14 when the relationship turned inappropriate.
About two years ago, Trent started driving the girl home from church, said Deputy Prosecutor Christopher Quinn. Sometimes he showed her physical affection by giving a "side hug," she reported, and over time they . . .

This past weekend in Santa Monica, California, Adidas held the Los Angeles Recode Running Festival, which is a way to celebrate the urban running culture. Urban running is a community-driven lifestyle that is empowered by the creative spirit to go out and run along the streets of your city. Across the country, runners are coming together in their very own cities to build a foundation of active runners to support and achieve their goals.
The Recode Festival was a three-day event where runners can enlighten their minds and bodies, as well as express their creative and artistic personalities with the new Adidas Ultraboost 19. The festival was open to the public, albeit, you had to register to attend some of the events that they had. Some of these events included a 5K run, Nutrition Group sessions, Ultraboost MakerLab customization, Group Mindfulness session, and others.
During the festival, we attended the Ultraboost MakerLab customization event. This small event was open to the attendees who had their own pair of Ultraboost 19s and gave them a chance to add a little flair and personality to their shoe. Shoe customization is an increasing trend that gives sneakerheads a chance to stand out from the rest and express the things that interest them. Numerous tables were laid out with countless paints, glues, and stencils, all of which were available at the ready for attendees to start crafting. For those who didn't have their own pair of Ultraboost 19s, they still had a chance to craft their own shoe by using a miniaturized version of the Ultraboost.
A part of the Recode Festival was the premiere of the short film "Go Together." This short film highlighted a group of people in the Los Angeles and New York area that have formed their own urban running groups. These congregation of runners wanted to show that going out and running doesn't always have to be a solo act and that these groups are more than just people running together. It's about forming a bond with others, regardless of their skin color, race, gender, or sexual orientation, and share a common interest that helps motivate and uplift them to go out and take on the everyday aspects of their lives. Some of the runners that were featured in the short film shared their own stories of how joining a runners group changed their lives. How this newfound family and friendship assisted them in approaching their lives in a different and positive way.
Adidas Running has a long history of supporting those who go out every day, place their feet on the pavement, and run. It's no secret that living an active lifestyle can have a favorable effect on your body and mind. But Adidas Running shows that running can also have a positive effect on culture, communities, and creativity.

How much horror can the world cope with?
The news of the execution of photojournalist James Foley was shocking in the extreme.
To learn that someone had tweeted links to the horrific footage of his death was breathtakingly appalling.
How could anyone do that?
And how could anyone be so obsessed with being allowed to say just what they like – whenever they feel like it – that they take to the web and criticise Twitter for removing all links to these gruesome images?
Yet James Ball has done just that in the Guardian.
Claiming that Twitter – once lauded as "the free speech wing of the free speech party" – has gone too far, he berates it for making an editorial decision that's out of line with its role as "a platform" with no curatorial powers over its users' messages and thus its content.
What nonsense!
If no one exercises any control over what appears on Twitter, Facebook, Google or any other "free speech" platform, who knows what we could see next.
In any event, the tweeting of these grotesque images has done nothing for any sensitive being. All is has done is fuel the publicity surrounding the evil acts perpetrated by the Islamic State's jihadists.
Which is, no doubt, what they wanted.
But is it what the rest of the world wants, or can cope with?

Falling out of love with freedom
The publication of the Leveson report into the conduct of the British press has set a million tongues wagging and gazillions of fingers tapping, including mine. And this is what they're saying.
They're telling me that I'm worried about the way Leveson has divided people over one of its most important issues: the freedom of the press.
Don't get me wrong. I love newspapers.
I was seduced by them when I was a teenager in the 1950s, and I've gone on loving them across the decades that I've been writing advertising on the back of editorial.
Despite the fact that some are good and some are bad – that some sell millions and others handfuls – our newspapers' freedom of speech never ceases to remind me of the wonderfully multi-faceted nature of our society.
Now, for one reason or another, some people are saying that freedom is likely to be undermined – even eroded – by obligations set out by Leveson and underpinned by law.
And this really worries them.
I have to say, it's what worries them that really worries me.
Freedom feeds on responsibility
No matter how you look at it, freedom is a wonderful thing.
It's definitely worth fighting for. Some even die for it. Others, like Kris Kristopherson, take a more sanguine view, saying it's "just another word for nothing left to lose".
For me it's a vital ingredient in any civilised society.
But all freedoms have to be treated with respect.
We have to recognise that, if we are to embrace any kind of freedom, we have to acknowledge the responsibilities that come with it.
The people who worry about their loss of freedom due to obligations underpinned by statutory laws or regulatory bodies seem to be calling for a society in which anything – including some wicked activities that fall outside the law – will be accepted.
If that's the kind of freedom people want, it's not for me.
While I want a free press with the freedom to seek justice, defend the oppressed, champion the underprivileged and expose the wicked, I want to read newspapers that respect the responsibilities their freedom imposes.
If that respect dies, it won't be long before my love of newspapers dies with it.
And I'll find myself falling out of love with freedom.

It is not holistic vision.
Arrange the Earth your personal responsibility sum.
It's the smell of roses at your door.
You still want a heart that's free?
It's almost impossible to get that idea across.
Allow a vague definition to seep in.
Have to get past its dark interior.
Some long journey for some.
Where the vision takes shape.
Know this for a beginning.
See if he wants to.
There's his see all rewards.
Getting them in his hand?
In the natural movement of things.
Read me as you arrive.
I'm afraid this makes you level with all people.
You don't look that way.
And there are people that want it dim.
You think I'm talking conspirators.
The world will shrink from light.
Like I didn't know that.
Eight o'clock by the looks of it.
I'll let the universe finish.
For the larger than universe wear.
Where we walk as the lighting of a star.
Out past all known points.
And see all this poetry?
The cheerleaders and the band.
Daddy this is your seating in the cushion.
Open a can of milk buy.
Can you see the world from here?
It's in my living room.
I gave her the key.
Dude, this is a world.
Boy I agree that things have to move.
We won't a world a regular outcome.
This is on the timeline.
Where did yah get there her evolutionaries?
I didn't go after the money formula.
I went for it dawn.
There came from man a higher type.
General bill like growling and light.
I have a phone rapture for you.
Can you give me this code?
To get them on up out of their movie.
You don't normally catch this.
I was just there to hear.
Thanks but we don't need to use.
That's where you mess up.
You have no burning necessity.
No one demands of you change.
If we can pull ourselves away from all our disease.
You're hearin' my calling card.
I doubt it would roll over.
For a moment out of your movie.
You in for where you're to arrive?
What the moment's here to get.
To where that moment needs to take you.
That would be a moment up.

Kingsman: The Golden Circle Trailer
By Reggie's Take on April 25, 2017
20th Century Fox and director Matthew Vaughn have released the trailer to there highly anticipated sequel, Kingsman: The Golden Circle.
The first trailer for the Kingsman sequel reveals nothing of the plot and it is all set to the Frank Sinatra song "My Way". Finding themselves in a quandary after the destruction of their headquarters they make the journey to the United States where they team up with their American counterparts to defeat a common enemy.
The first Kingsman movie in 2014 took the idea of James Bond and turned it on its ear. Taron Egerton returns as Eggsy, everyone's favorite British spy who will have to deal with all new characters. Joining Egerton this time around will be Channing Tatum, Pedro Pascal, Halle Berry, and Jeff Bridges.
Returning from the first Kingsman is Mark Strong as Eggsy's mentor Merlin and fellow Kingsman agents Sophie Cookson, Edward Holcroft, not to mention Colin Firth's Harry Hart, who's death from the first movie and apparent recovery will need to be explained.
Cast: Taron Egerton, Channing Tatum, Colin Firth, Julianne Moore, Mark Strong, Halle Berry, Sir Elton John, Jeff Bridges
Official Synopsis for Kingsman: The Golden Circle:
"Kingsman: The Secret Service" introduced the world to Kingsman – an independent, international intelligence agency operating at the highest level of discretion, whose ultimate goal is to keep the world safe. In "Kingsman: The Golden Circle," our heroes face a new challenge. When their headquarters are destroyed and the world is held hostage, their journey leads them to the discovery of an allied spy organization in the US called Statesman, dating back to the day they were both founded. In a new adventure that tests their agents' strength and wits to the limit, these two elite secret organizations band together to defeat a ruthless common enemy, in order to save the world, something that's becoming a bit of a habit for Eggsy…
