We've must all, at times, have been in conversation with friends and acquaintances, when we have heard wrong-headed neo-liberal type remarks which have required some response, but not too much of a response. We need something quick, snappy, and easy to understand. After all, we probably do want to keep those friends. We'd like to encourage them to think about what they are saying but not bore them rigid with long-winded explanations.
I'm pleased they do. Otherwise, none of us would have any money. I work 40 hours a week to re-fill my bank account with government IOUs. I don't know about you, but I need that Government debt!
ALL money, except loose change, is either printed or created by keystroke. It would be much less convenient to have to carry around gold bullion to pay the grocery bills.
I don't have a currency printing press in my household! If I don't pay the mortgage it's my problem. If a government defaults on its debt it's everyone's problem. The government is an issuer not just a user of the currency. That is a key difference.
The government will have to default on its debts if it carries on spending like a drunken sailor.
Only if its printing presses break down or if the computers malfunction! Governments with sovereign currencies can create whatever they need to settle their bills. Government cheques need never bounce.
So you are advocating we copy the economic policies of Zimbabwe?
No I'm saying we learn from Goldilocks. The porridge should neither be too hot nor too cold. She liked it just right.
Workers emptying the bins, driving buses, teaching children, or whatever, don't become any more productive if they work for the private sector. In any case that's a secondary issue. Real inefficiency is having workers do nothing when they could be making a useful contribution to society.
People should save more to help the Government pay off its debts.
The private sector has had to tighten its belt since the GFC. It is only fair the government should do the same.
That's was the accepted conventional wisdom in the 1930's. The depression only really ended when governments were forced to tear up their neo-liberal text books when the war started. Do we have to have another war to re-learn the same lesson?
Who is going to pay for it all? We can't afford it.
It can actually be done at a profit. Higher employment levels means more taxation revenue and less spending on social benefits. In addition the streets could be cleaner, the parks tidier and the environment better for all. There would be less crime. Everyone would benefit from reduced economic inefficiency not just those who gained a job. It is not Utopianism. It has been done before and can be done again.
Another good posting. I especially like the first two and will use them.
Another one would be about the desirability of a achieving a government surplus. The reply should be to ask if they are also in favour of a private sector deficit?
What about "government spending will crowd out private investment"?
Good Point. Yes, Government spending "crowds in" Private Investment. Every dollar, pound, or Euro invested comes from Government spending.

Siershahn is an Ortsgemeinde – a community belonging to a Verbandsgemeinde – in the Westerwaldkreis in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany.

History
Clay finds from La Tène times have been unearthed here. In 1211, Siershahn had its first documentary mention as Sigarshagen.

Politics

The municipal council is made up of 21 council members, with the extraofficial mayor (Bürgermeister), who were elected in a municipal election on 7 June 2009.

Allocation of seats in the municipal council:

Economy and infrastructure
Siershahn's biggest firm, and the one richest in tradition is Cera Tech (formerly Keramchemie), still employing most of the villagers. Nearby, during the Second World War, was a prison camp.

Siershahn has several bypass roads so that heavy vehicles do not drive through the community as they once did.

Transport
The nearest Autobahn interchange is Mogendorf on the A 3 (Cologne–Frankfurt), some 2 km away. Siershahn was once an important railway hub between Limburg, Gießen and Cologne. All passenger services were closed over the years, except for the line to Limburg. The line to Au is used for freight and it is sometimes used for tourist services. The nearest InterCityExpress stop is Montabaur station on the Cologne-Frankfurt high-speed rail line.

"Game Of Thrones" Season 8 Clip Leaks Early, Reveals Heavy Spoiler
HBO sprung another leak.
Game Of Thrones can't seem to stop leaks from hitting the web. Two years ago, almost every single episode in season 7 of Game Of Thrones leaked early, many of them just hours before they premiered. The same issue has been plaguing the current season of the fantasy drama. Both episodes 1 and 2 leaked early, although the epic "Long Night" episode dropped as planned. Now, according to a report by ComicBook.com, Game Of Thrones season 8 episode 4 has hit social media in fragments. A video of about 30-seconds surfaced on Twitter and Youtube ahead of its premiere tonight, although it has been removed at almost every source. Mild spoilers below, beware.
The leak contained spoilers connected to a death, which is all that I will mention here. In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, Kit Harrington stated that episode 4 is his favorite of the season. "One of my favorite episodes is 4 because the characters have seemingly got what they needed," Harington stated. "The world is safe now. They're celebrating and saying goodbye to lost friends. But as an audience you're going, 'This is only episode 4, something's going to happen.' And that's the cool thing because I think the characters are aware of this as well. There's something twisted and uncomfortable about it. It's so Shakespearian." It looks like the worse is yet to come.

La Panthère Mosaics from New Ravenna
General / People / Products / May 17, 2019
Cean Irminger of New Ravenna Mosaics is channeling her inner Art Deco.
Now she's reinterpreting the work of Erté, the Russian-born artist who took Paris by storm in the early 20th century.
"He was known as the king of Art Deco when he started in the teens," she says. "He was working in a lot of stage decoration and fashion illustrations, so he did a lot of costumes for theater productions, and inspired a lot of opulence in period fashion."
Just 18 when he moved to Paris and changed his name from Romain de Tirtoff, he soon shifted from theater design to cover illustrations for Harper's Bazaar and Vogue magazines. The feminine form was his favorite.
Not to mention the panther. "They're everywhere in Art Deco," she says. "The Panthers are symbolic of independent female spirit – and grace and beauty."
Thus the name of New Ravenna's latest collection, La Panthère. They're three-feet-by-six-feet panels of jewel glass, each depicting women, panthers and trees in a neutral palette. "They're positive and negative tones, all laid in 24 carat glass," she says. "And they harken back to the original New Ravenna mosaics."
She's talking about the work of New Ravenna's founder, Sara Baldwin, who established the mosaics firm in the 1990s. It's been primarily a woman-inspired concern ever since, which makes the panther-as-icon even more significant.
"We are primarily a female work force – that's personally where our roots come from," Irminger says. "It's an underground symbolism for us – the feminist spirit of the company."
The La Panthère collection is also a way to demonstrate to the industry that mosaics can be as illustrative as Erté's paint or pencil. "Mosaics are a storytelling medium – if you want to tell a story, we can tell it," she says. "We're updating what Erté was doing but in our own style."
The big idea here is to invoke Art Deco, but to be strong, graceful – and feminine – for the 21st century.

Evaluation of S. Skvernelis' chances: by clashing with the media, he may have made a mistake
Prime Minister Saulius Skvernelis chose Rusnė as the location to announce his presidential bid. During his cabinet's term, financing was arranged for the Rusnė overpass. The prime minister stated he wishes for there to be "harmony between governments in the country," because at the moment he sees discord between the branches of government and journalists, who according to S. Skvernelis participate in politics, add further pressure. This was the discussion topic of Dienos Tema featuring VU TSPMI docent and KTU scientist Mažvydas Jastramskis and the chief editor of BNS news agency Vaidotas Beniušis, lrt.lt writes.
Saulius Skvernelis
While S. Skvernelis' decision to run for president was not wholly unexpected, the announcement was arranged as if it were. M. Jastramskis notes that the timing was well chosen because there isn't too much time left to the end of the campaign, but at the same time, he still has time to rally his electorate and gather the undecided voters. Furthermore, the narrative was chosen that S. Skvernelis is a candidate for the regions, the so-called second Lithuania, announcing his candidacy outside the large cities.
Indrė Makaraitytė. How many of our euros will S. Skvernelis' elections cost?
PM to run for president
V. Beniušis notes that the prime minister is aiming for his own electorate, which he already has, leading in the regions and rural areas, but being far behind in the cities. He echoes M. Jastramskis in that the announcement being in Rusnė presented S. Skvernelis as a representative o the regions. The BNS chief editor also points out that looking at the announcement, it was clearly not a spontaneous act, but a well thought out event.
M. Jastramskis finds that Lithuanian voters rarely remain loyal to a single candidate, however it is more likely that S. Skvernelis may siphon voters from G. Nausėda rather than Conservative party candidate I. Šimonytė because this party's electorate is more consistent. "I would not be surprised if the three leading candidates' ratings even evened out and we would have a sort of, say, three horse race," the political scientist said, adding that such a race is likely most suitable for I. Šimonytė because the overlaps S. Skvernelis and G. Nausėda have could launch her into first place. Furthermore, he notes, voters look to the top candidates and "no one will choose a candidate, who gathers two percent. They will choose from the first, second and third places."
Current surveys show that a significant number of "Farmer" voters are inclined to back G. Nausėda. Fewer than S. Skvernelis, but such voters exist. V. Beniušis finds this to be an interesting dynamic to monitor, how the interplay of S. Skvernelis and G. Nausėda's ratings will work.
"It will depend on how much G. Nausėda has managed to position himself in the regions, more traditional areas, which would vote for the "Farmers" and on the other hand, how much those people, who may have started to dislike S. Skvernelis over two years, but perhaps may have voted for him, how much they are inclined to change their minds because the largest challenge to S. Skvernelis is no doubt the growing number of negative ratings. If it is easier to win over the undecided, it is much harder to win over those with negative views. But I believe that S. Skvernelis is calculating that it is better for him to face I. Šimonytė in the second round because there would be greater polarisation. G. Nausėda's potential electorate is larger, while the Conservative party establishes a certain "ceiling,"" V. Beniušis said.
In terms of S. Skvernelis positioning himself as a non-establishment candidate despite him being in elected office for a number of terms now, M. Jastramskis points out that the prime minister being in office may be a negative for him and even if he tries to play the card of being a non-establishment figure, it would be an unproductive strategy because when it comes down to it, the average voter is not stupid and has in mind, who exactly is in government. V. Beniušis believes that the prime minister is fully employing this tactic, seeking to present himself as the only alternative to the existing system. The BNS chief editor points out that there was a statement against the news media, positioning them as part of the system, which needs to be combatted.
He also believes that over the next few years, politicians will surface in Lithuania, who are highly critical of the news media because the trend of the news media being "ascribed to some sort of elite by some politicians is visible in a number of countries in our region." He points out that this is also due to social media reducing the role of traditional news media, allowing politicians to be less concerned with relations with the media and at the same time, morphing the news media itself, with journalist behaviour sometimes nearing what critics view as political activism rather than unbiased journalism.
Conservative party leader Gabrielius Landsbergis has stated that this work trip being used to launch the prime minister's campaign is exploitation of official position, with there being a law prohibiting such acts. M. Jastramskis believes that this use of official position will level out with the cultivation of perceptions of S. Skvernelis being a non-establishment candidate, making little difference. The political scientist notes that questions arise over Skvernelis' overall position as prime minister because all his actions in office can be questioned as to whether they are or are not for publicity purposes.
"Returning briefly to the anti-establishment rhetoric trend, which is aimed against the news media, sometimes I think that we are absorbing certain American trends in the belief that they apply to Lithuania. Perhaps some politicians are starting to think so, but the situation is nevertheless a little different. If there are very clear layers of news media based on democratic and republican positioning, this is non-present in Lithuania and you cannot simply point a finger and have everyone believe you right away that this is Conservatives', Social Democrats' or Liberals' news media. In this regard, the prime minister could make a mistake by focusing on such accents. This is because, let me remind you, the news media is far more trusted in Lithuania than the cabinet or the Seimas," M. Jastramskis said.
V. Beniušis also adds that while the American example may not quite apply to Lithuania due to differences in political systems, the Polish example comes quite close, with the central news media, particularly based in the capital being strongly against J. Kaczynski's party and vice versa.
"I completely agree that the American political system is overly different from that of Lithuania and we probably shouldn't talk in those clichés about new "Trumps" in Lithuania, but Poland, as several decades of our history shows, we should follow closely because often those trends migrate to Lithuania," the BNS chief editor stated.

Next Stage of Cyber-War: 7 Iranian Ships Catch Fire in Port, 2 Attacks Targeting Israel Water System Thwarted
by Adam Eliyahu Berkowitz | Jul 17, 2020 | Middle East
But you, Have no fear, My servant Yaakov —declares Hashem— Be not dismayed, O Yisrael! I will deliver you from far away, Your folk from their land of captivity. And Yaakov shall again have calm And quiet with none to trouble him;	Jeremiah 30:10 (The Israel BibleTM)
Iran's Shahid Rajaee port (Illustrative photo from Jan. 28, 2020.) Credit: Wikimedia Commons.
At least seven Iranian ships caught fire in the port city of Bushehr on Wednesday as part of a continuation of mysterious explosions occurring throughout the country, according to state media. The port is just 12 miles away from Iran's only nuclear power station. No casualties were reported.
On Friday, The Israeli Water Authority confirmed a report that two cyber attacks were carried out against Israeli water infrastructure in recent weeks but no damage was inflicted. One attack targeted agricultural water pumps in the upper Galilee, while the other struck infrastructure in the center of the country.
"These were specific, small drainage installations in the agriculture sector that were immediately and independently repaired by the locals, causing no harm to serve or any real-world effects," the Water Authority said in a statement. The Water Authority did not speculate who was behind the attacks but it is known that in May, Iran launched an unsuccessful; cyberattack targeting Israel's water infrastructure, and poison the water by increasing chlorine levels in water flowing to residential areas. Israel responded by launching a cyberattack that shut down the Shahid Rajaee port—one of two major shipping terminals in the coastal city of Bandar Abbas in the Strait of Hormuz.
Iranian police said earlier in the week that they are investigating an explosion that started a fire at an industrial complex that contains gas-condensate storage tanks, Reuters reported on Monday.
According to the report based on Iranian news outlets, Javad Jahandoust, the fire chief at the Kavian Fariman industrial complex, said that six storage tanks were ablaze and one had exploded.
These were the most recent in a series of explosions that began on June 26 when a huge explosion rocked Parchin military and weapons development base about 20 miles southeast of the capital Tehran. Authorities initially claimed the explosion took place at a gas storage facility in a "public area" of Parchin rather than the military base. It was later revealed that the explosion was the result of a cyberattack, possibly carried out by Israel.
In July 2015, there were claims based on satellite imagery that there was activity in the Parchin military complex associated with nuclear weapons. UN and international inspectors were denied access to the site and Iran denied the claims saying the satellite photos were fabricated.
At about the same time as the explosion at the Parchin facility, a large explosion at the local power station left half of the city of Tehran without electricity.
Four days later, an explosion from a gas leak in the Sina Athar Medical Center in northern Tehran killed 19 people. Video posted online appeared to show more than one explosion
Ten days ago, a fire broke out at a ground-level building at Iran's underground Natanz facility which authorities said had caused significant damage. Natanz nuclear facility is generally recognized as Iran's central facility for uranium enrichment with over 19,000 gas centrifuges currently operational and nearly half of them being fed with uranium hexafluoride. Between 2007–2010 Natanz nuclear power plant was hit by a sophisticated cyberattack that was carried out by German, French, British, American, Dutch and Israeli intelligence organizations. The attack used a Stuxnet worm which hampered the operation of the plant's centrifuges and caused damage to them over time.
Last Tuesday, two people were killed in an explosion at a factory in the south of Tehran. The official IRNA news agency reported on Sunday that a, fire broke out at a facility belonging to the Shahid Tondgooyan Petrochemical Company in southwest Iran. The fire was quickly contained and did not lead to any casualties or financial damage. An oil leak was reportedly the cause of the fire.On Monday, Iranian media reported a fire broke out a fire in eight of the gas tanks at a gas condensate plant in the Kavian Fariman industrial zone in eastern Iran's Razavi Khorasan Province, causing an explosion. According to Iranian media, property damage from the explosion was significant, but there were no casualties. Firefighters prevented the fire from causing further explosions, according to the Iranian Labour News Agency (ILNA).
The local fire chief told ILNA that the explosion caused extensive damage to the company and to a neighboring company but did not cause casualties.
On Friday, a series of explosions in Tehran hit a missile facility/warehouse of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). An analyst told The New York Times there were underground military installations in the area.
On Saturday, a gas explosion shook a residential building in Iran's capital Tehran. A fire department spokesman told the semi-official ISNA news agency that several gas cylinders kept in a basement blew up, damaging the building and injuring a resident.
In an interview on Russian Today television on Saturday, former Iranian diplomat Amir Mousavi warned that Iran is prepared to retaliate against "the Zionist entity", the US, and an Arab nation he claims participated in the attacks. He claimed the reaction could be a cyberattack or a military attack.
Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz said earlier this month that the country is not behind every incident that occurs in Iran.

Prostate Surgery To Be Done With High-Intensity Ultrasound Device
Tony Berberabe
The FDA has announced clearance for a minimally invasive high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) prostate tissue ablation device called Sonablate 450, making HIFU available in the United States for the first time.
The FDA has announced ade novoclearance for a minimally invasive high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) prostate tissue ablation device called Sonablate 450. This clearance marks the first time HIFU technology will be used in the United States.
"It is anticipated that ablative urological surgeons in the US will quickly master and adapt this technology for their patients," said Herbert Lepor, MD, professor and Martin Spatz Chairman, Department of Urology, New York University School of Medicine, in a statement. "HIFU offers the opportunity for the precise delivery of ablative energy to the prostate. Thus, it can be adapted to whole gland or focal gland ablation."
Sonablate 450 is used on patients with low-to-high-risk prostate cancer with a PSA lower than 10 ng/mL who have progressed on external beam radiation therapy. The device utilizes a fully integrated probe with dual ablation transducer and focuses ultrasound energy at a targeted location in the prostate gland called the focal point, which is heated to nearly 195 degrees Fahrenheit (90 degrees Celsius). The tissue targeted at the focal point is destroyed, but tissue surrounding the targeted area remains unharmed.
Due to the Sonablate 450's usage of ultrasound energy, and not radiation, the procedure may be repeated. The device can be used to perform prostate ablations that urologists routinely perform on prostate glands up to 40cc without previously performing a TURP (transurethral resection of the prostate) procedure. Tissue analysis is conducted via radio frequency (RF). An RF signal is sent to a targeted ablation site prior to delivery of HIFU and then another signal is sent after delivery of HIFU to the same site. The device calculates the change that took place and displays it on the screen. Tissue changes are quantified based on a comparison of RF ultrasound pulse-echo signals at each ablation site.
"The FDA's decision on Sonablate is an important step in providing men with prostate conditions access to this less invasive approach," said Neal Kassell, MD, chairman of the Focused Ultrasound Foundation, in a statement. "We hope that focused ultrasound will eventually become a standard of care for treating the prostate."
In those treated with Sonablate 450 (n = 100), 50% obtained local control of the disease, which was defined as a PSA nadir of 0.5 ng/mL or lower along with a negative biopsy at 12 months (97.06% CI, 0.39-0.61;P= .0206). In those with biopsy results at 12 months (n = 78), the local control rate jumped to 64.1% (97.06% CI, 0.52-076; P= .0001), which passed the bar for significance, which was set at a local control rate of 40%.
Grade I adverse events (AEs) related to HIFU were seen in 67.2% of participants. Grade 2 AEs were experienced by 81% and grade 3 AEs were seen in 23.3% of patients. The most common all-grade AEs were urinary tract infection (49.1%), incontinence (44.8%), urinary retention (41.4%), and hematuria (40.5%).
The most common grade ≥3 AEs, at 5.2% each, were stricture, which included urethral stricture and bladder neck contracture, and urinary tract infection. Severe incontinence related to the device was experienced by 3.4% of patients.
The combined fistula rate was 6.6% and 3 patients experienced osteomyelitis. After retaining on proper management techniques, the fistula rate dropped to 1.7% and there were no cases of osteomyelitis.
Larger studies are attempting to validate the efficacy and safety of Sonablate. Additionally, another HIFU device, Ablatherm, which is marketed by EDAP TMS, is undergoing a phase III clinical trial. Patient recruitment and follow-up phases of the study are now completed, according to the company. The pre-market approval file is currently under review by the FDA.
The positive decision for Sonablate 450 was preceded by a negative vote from the FDA's Gastroenterology and Urology Devices Panel in October 2014. At this hearing, the panel expressed desires to review further data on the HIFU device. Data reviewed by the FDA and its advisory panel were from the first 100 patients in a 200 patients trial. The mean age of patients in the trial was 69.7 years and the mean pretreatment PSA was 4.9 ng/mL.
"I believe that we are at a pivotal point in prostate care," said Michael Koch, MD, who was a clinical trial investigator and is chairman of the Department of Urology at Indiana University, said in a statement. "Simultaneous advances in imaging, fusion technologies, and now more focused therapies are going to allow us to precisely diagnose prostate conditions, and ablate these targeted areas rather than perform whole gland prostate surgery, which carries a significant burden on quality of life. HIFU will become the work-horse of subtotal prostate therapy."


You guys! I am smitten by this one. Blake + Bailey's day includes colorful florals, confetti + the cutest reception decor we've ever laid eyes on. To top it off, Bailey tells us how she knew Blake was t h e o n e + all about planning a brunch wedding! We love the intentional details these two put into their relationship + their wedding day! Scroll on + be ready to crave breakfast food.
How did you decide on May 26th?
"We decided on May 26th because I really wanted an outdoor ceremony. I was hoping it wouldn't be too hot by the end of May + while it could have been worse, it definitely wasn't a breezy 75 degrees. Also, I am finishing up pharmacy school, so we wanted the summer to get adjusted to married life!"
Tell us a little bit about your love story!
"Blake + I met the summer after we graduated high school. He had plans to go to K-State + I was headed to KU, so we weren't sure how things would work out. Despite the distance, we continued to date throughout college. All the trips to Manhattan, dates to the movies, ice cream runs + all the other small things meant so much more because we didn't get to see each other every day. After dating for three + a half years, Blake proposed at Overlook Point in Manhattan. After the proposal, he had planned an engagement party with our friends + family. It was a moment I will never forget!"
How did you + Blake meet?
"We met the summer after we graduated high school. We were both invited over to a friend's house to write thank you notes from a graduation party + the rest is history! But really, I noticed something different about him (in a good way) + we spent the summer getting to know each other more before he asked me out right before we left for college."
When did you know Blake was "the one"?
"I knew Blake was the one pretty soon after we started dating. He was the most humble, honest + caring guy I had ever met. He was intentional with our relationship + made time for us, despite the distance between us + the first semester of college being pledgeship for him. In addition to that, he could always make me laugh + bring me back down to earth when I tend to get stressed + worry about the future."
"Hands-down, my favorite moment from our wedding day was after I walked down the aisle with my dad. I stood beside Blake + the pastor had us turn to face all our wedding guests. He said something along the lines of 'look out at all the people who helped get you to where you are today... really look... make eye contact' + I was so emotional. I was standing next to the man I loved the most, seeing friends + family who had invested in me, in different seasons of my life. I am a people person, so what made my wedding day so special was getting to celebrate with loved ones."
"Bright, sorbet florals that were flowy + whimsical. We went for a boho feel. We decided on wooden + wire accents + kept it pretty simple. Our venue had beautiful exposed brick that really spoke for itself. We also had a brunch wedding (breakfast is my favorite), so the ceremony + reception were early in the day."
Where did you draw inspiration from while planning?
"A lot of my inspiration came from Pinterest. I had never seen anyone do a daytime, brunch wedding... so Pinterest really helped spark ideas."
"Have a budget in mind + don't try on dresses that are way out of that budget. That is something I loved about SWBB! At one point, I chose a dress that I liked without looking at the price + Paige didn't pull it + let me know that it was quite a bit out of my price range. I was super thankful for that!"
Wishing you all of the happiness in your newest adventure of marriage!

Horror Headlines: Friday December 21st, 2012
Anchor Bay has decided to thrust their revenge flick "Girls Against Boys" NYC and LA theaters on February 1st, 2013. The film stars Danielle Panabaker as a girl who finds herself being tormented by a number of different men before she finally snaps and goes on a killing spree. There's a time of the month joke here, right? I'll let you make your own.
I'm pretty sure at some point I mentioned the new flick "The Amityville Horror: The Lost Tapes" but in all honestly I huffed A TON of different things when I was in High School so some of the old brain beans are pretty fried at this point. Anyway the film, about a reporter who puts together a team to investigate the happenings in the famous house, has finally be slapped with a January 3rd, 2014 release date. I look forward to catching up with you again on this topic in 6 to 7 months.
"Texas Chainsaw 3D" doesn't hit theaters for a couple weeks but star Alexandra Daddario is already excited to get a sequel going. Not that one has been confirmed or anything. Apparently she just wanted to make sure everyone knew she doesn't die in this one. So um, spoiler alert or something.
Damon Lindelof has dropped word that he will not be returning to pen the script for "Prometheus 2". Apparently he's just too swamped right now with his other projects to dedicate what he expects to be 2 years worth of production to the sequel. Oh and he wasn't asked yet either. But ya know, he's got hand.
The Amityville Horror: The Lost Tapes
Snapshots: "Prometheus" is just messing with us at this point...

Horror Headlines: Friday June 10th, 2011
Damon Lidelof is the fella who penned "Lost" and the upcoming movie "Cowboys & Aliens" has been handed more money than I'll ever see in my life to write a new Sci-Fi silm for the fine people at Disney. No real details yet on what the movie will be about but word is the project will extent beyond the cinema. Which could really mean anything. TV show, action figure line or maybe in a few years I'll riding in a car shaped like Lindelof's head on the new "1952" ride at Disney World. It's going to be magical.
A romp of new images from the set of "Piranha 3DD" have hit the tubes and it looks like the blood action at the local water park is in full swing. For the second film a local Lake Havasu water park has been turned into "Big Wet Waterpark" and I assume after filming wraps they either have to detox the entire area or just burn the park to the ground and call it a day. And if you're wondering, a romp is what they call a group of otters. We learned something today!
Mexican actor Diego Luna is reportedly being courted for a role in up coming Neill Blomkamp alien flick titled "Elysium". the film is the follow up to Blomkamp's 2009 epic "District 9" and has already cast Matt Damon and Jodie Foster as earthlings who face an alien onslaught. Sounds like things are going to get caliente on the set my friends! Aye que rico, me pone loca!
John Hlavin who wrote the script for "Underworld 4: New Dawn" is in talks to develop a script for a big screen adaptation of the board game of global domination "Risk". This is just the latest board game to be added to the ever growing list of adaptations and I for one can't wait to see the giant CGI pop-o-matic bubble once someone decided to make "Trouble" a movie.

Ce n'è per tutti è un film italiano del 2009 diretto da Luciano Melchionna.

Trama
Roma. Un ragazzo di nome Gianluca sale sul Colosseo. Nello stesso momento si dipanano le vicende degli amici i quali,  venuti a sapere quanto sta accadendo, cercano di raggiungere il luogo. La situazione viene seguita anche dalla televisione, che specula miseramente sulla vicenda, coinvolgendo forzatamente i genitori di Gianluca. Attraverso alcuni flashback si intuisce quale può essere la motivazione di Gianluca , poeta dall'animo sensibile, che non riesce più a sopportare il dolore che sente ovunque intorno a sé. Nella solitudine trovata in alto, vedendo sotto di sé l'accalcarsi dei curiosi, il ragazzo dialoga con la nonna, l'unica che sembra provare compassione e sentimento per lui.

Distribuzione
È arrivato nelle sale cinematografiche il 20 novembre 2009.

MULTITUDES ARE RESPONDING FOR THE FIRST TIME TO THE INVITATION TO RECEIVE JESUS CHRIST AS THEIR LORD AND SAVIOR IN AFRICA, CHINA AND OTHER COUNTRIES, PRAISE GOD.
The Name of Jesus, takes the place of Jesus.
He is here to see that my prayer that I pray in the name of Jesus is heard and answered.
One mighty miracle in the name of Jesus is more than enough for all the sermons we hear in our churches, let us fervently seek for the manifestation of the power invested in the name of Jesus among us.
Friends , God wants to creat a master piece of our life,we are like the brush and the colour paints in the painter's hand, God can make us a master piece for His glory when we are yielded to Him and are under the guidance of the Holy Spirit and also surrounded by those who love the Lord, where we are able to learn from each other, receive correction from those who care about us in the Lord. To grow up spiritually, it is so important that we have fellowship with those who walk in God's way. God has shown us His way, let us do justly and show mercy and let us walk humbly in the sight of God.
YOU SHALL KNOW THE TRUTH AND THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE. JESUS SAID I AM THE WAY THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE, NO MAN COMETH TO THE FATHER EXCEPT TROUGH ME.
WPC, is a world wide prayer ministry to motivate Christians all over the world to pray the Lord's prayer daily. And also pray for the prayer requests posted on this website.
If God's thoughts towards us outnumber the grains of sand, it doesn't matter if our prayers are answered or not answered. Let us encourage our self and continue to love God, He is able to do more than we ask or think, let us not limit God through unbelieve.
What are looking for in life?, what ever you desire in life only will stay with you for a moment, seek the things that can give you eternal joy and happiness, only Jesus Christ can give you the eternal peace. come to Him. talk to Him, He is listening to your heart cry, He will never disappoint you.

Our God is a God of miracles, perhaps you feel one step away from the flame going out all together in your life, hold on, don't throw away your faith confidant in GOD, He will show up in the right time. wait for the Master's voice to guide you.
Prayer request was posted on the 15/05/12 to pray for a 2 month old baby boy with heart murmur. Our prayer team prayed also other believers prayed for this baby.
Praise God, received news on the 19/05/12, all test result for scan was clear...ed, there is no heart murmur. What can we say, when God manifest among us, we stand back, not hinder His work, and be a witness to His work of compassion, it is not about us, but it is all about Jesus. Thank you Lord for answering our .
A man of God once said "if you have a desire to be healed, then there is a God, who can heal you, He is our Lord, Saviour and Healer our Lord Jesus Christ"
There is something about believing in God which will cause Jesus to pass over a million people to walk into your room!. When the three men in the Bible was thrown into the fire for their stand not to worship the wicked king, a fourth man appeared in the fire, an angel, some says that it was Jesus Christ, travelled through time to the place where those three men were, and fire didn't burn the three men because of Jesus Christ. When we are praying if doubts and fear try to take control, remember our faith in God's word has the ability to breaks the strong holds of doubts and fear when we pray. Holy Spirit is with us when we pray to guide us and help to intercede, this is a time of visitation of and the favour of God towards His people, let us be ready to invite our mighty God among us. the King has come, the King has come, let us shout for joy, the King Jesus has come, hearing our great Kings voice through His word gives us confident in our time of prayer and supplication for our brothers and sisters in the Lord.
Is God's hand still on me?
-Patrick is married with three children, he is unemployed, he is willing to work, he sent in about 200 applications, there was no sign of any job offer., last week he was called for an interview, it lasted 2 hours, he felt he performed very well at the interview, today he received a letter from the company he attended the interview, no job offer, reason, he is too qualified!
-Mary is going out with Paul for two years, wants to get married settle down start a family. Gloria went for her yearly checkup last week, received doctor's report today, she can't have children!
Friends how do we cope with these situations?
If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God we serve is able to deliver(A) us from it, and he will deliver us from Your Majesty's hand. But even if he does not, we want you to know, Your Majesty, that we will not serve your gods or worship the image of gold you have set up."
I just wonder how much certain were these three men in making this statement.
They were so much in love with their creator, nothing else matters to them, their experience, and encounter with their God is so real, they're willing to even die for their believe.
We too can say, God can save us from any situation we are in, but even if we don't see any evidence that God is doing some thing, we will serve our living God anyway.
We too also can say, that God can heal my disease- but if not, I will keep on trusting God.
God will never let us down, He will pass millions of light-years to reach us in a moment of time. There is something about believing in the name of Jesus, which will cause Jesus to pass a million people to get to us.

Financial Performance of UK Golf Courses
Golf / April 21, 2022 by Publishing Editor
A survey of all 2,500 courses in the UK. Ten year trend data shows what's happening with all golf prices. With 862 proprietary courses this market is now highly commercial. Golf chains continue to grow purchasing financial weak courses built in the 650 new course boom of the 90's
There have been two major development phases. The first at the turn of the century when most of the private clubs were built, and the second over the past twenty years during which most of the proprietary clubs have been built.
100 years ago, with land, construction and financial costs very cheap, it was relatively simple to get say 200 individuals together to each put up a small amount of money to build a golf course. This is why so many private member courses were built then.
Nowadays, it is almost logistically impossible to find, organise and persuade say 400 individuals to each part with £5,000 to generate the £2 million required to build a golf course. Practically, a course can only be built by a single developer or company, using one or two financial sources. Naturally he will want to be rewarded for the personal risks he has taken, and so he will require the course to make a profit. This is why virtually all the recent courses have been proprietary.
603 new golf facilities have opened since 1990. As some facilities are only 9 hole, this equates to 572 18 hole equivalent courses. 253 existing facilities have added new holes. As the majority of these are 9 hole, this equates to 155 new 18 hole equivalent courses. Thus the total new 18 hole equivalent courses built since 1990 is 727.
Much of the development was initiated by a report in April 1989 entitled "The Demand For Golf" by The Royal & Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews which concluded that 691 new 18 hole courses were required to be built between then and the year 2000 just to meet demand. We have now surpassed that estimate by 36 eighteen hole equivalent courses.
This represents an increase in supply of facilities of 32%. The report correctly identified that the greatest need was for pay and play courses in urban areas that were clearly under-supplied. However, much of the development was built in rural regions and aimed at the high priced membership market. Poor location and high construction costs thus doomed the many new developments, many of which have now changed hands.
The boom of the early nineties has now subsided to a small number of openings each year. It is now very difficult to obtain banking finance for new projects as the financial institutions learnt their lessons in the nineties and are now very reluctant to loan on golf. Finance is now typically sought through private.
A New Proprietary course is one that first opened in 1990 or after. All Established Proprietary courses were built before then.
Note that the table above shows the number of UK Golf Facilities – hence St. Andrews is included as one facility (and not as 5 separate courses). Note too that 18 hole courses less that 4,000 yards and 9 hole courses less than 2,000 are not included.

RE: Genghis Khan
Genghis Khan: Could satellites help find his tomb?
For Shay Har-Noy it was an 800-year-old puzzle about the burial place of Mongolian ruler Genghis Khan that sparked a very 21st Century business.
Mr Har-Noy was on an expedition to locate the lost tomb of the Mongol Empire founder, when satellite imagery firm DigitalGlobe donated some photos of potential areas for his team to scrutinise.
A bronze sculpture of the Mongolian warrior Genghis Khan has been unveiled in central London.

Researcher Hopes to Find Hidden Tomb of Genghis Khan Using Non-Invasive Technologies
According to legend, Genghis Khan lies buried somewhere beneath the dusty steppe of Northeastern Mongolia, entombed in a spot so secretive that anyone who made the mistake of encountering his funeral procession was executed on the spot. Once he was below ground, his men brought in horses to trample evidence of his grave, and just to be absolutely sure he would never be found, they diverted a river to flow over their leader's final resting place.

Genghis Khan is making a comeback in Mongolia. His name is on streets, schools, a brand of vodka and many a newborn baby -- a sea change from the era when the Communists, who ruled the country until 1991, made even mentioning his name taboo since it was considered the epitome of imperialism. But with the 800th anniversary of the Mongolian Empire in 1206, the Khan is back with a vengeance. In March, the Mongolian government renamed Ulan Bator airport "Chinggis Khaan International Airport in Ulaanbaatar."

Every organization is full of people who can help the organization improve. Every day, from the edges of the organization to the c-suite, people are noticing ways that the organization could work better. Unfortunately, most of this potential for positive change gets trapped in bureaucracy, hierarchy, and an outdated operating system designed for a world that no longer exists.
Today, technology enables groups of people to sense, understand, and act in coordinated ways, at a scale that was unimaginable 50 years ago. While on the surface, this technological revolution feels obvious and pervasive, most organizations have barely begun to realize its full impact.
We believe that enabling everyone inside organizations to play a role in changing the systems, structures, and processes that determine how the organization works represents one of the largest opportunities for competitive advantage and sustained success in an increasingly uncertain market landscape.
"Levers" are perhaps an overused metaphor when talking about change. But, the idea of a simple tool that can help us have a big impact with relatively small effort is an apt way to think about this opportunity.
All across an organization are people with first-hand insight into the day-to-day needs of customers, users, and internal collaborators. According to a recent survey we conducted of employees at organizations with 10,000 or more employees, the average employee can think of 4 ideas, without any prompting or assistance, for how to improve their company. That means that, at any given time, an organization of 25,000 employees is sitting on 100,000 untapped ideas. An organization of 250,000 employees has 1,000,000 untapped ideas.
Each untapped idea is a lever with the power to accelerate positive change.
Unfortunately, individuals rarely consider, or can even see the potential power they possess. And the dominant operating models of most organizations inhibit this collective wisdom instead of enabling it.
At August, we believe that fundamental adjustments to the operating model are needed to enable individuals to turn their insights into meaningful change. What's more, we believe the wisdom and capacity to pull the levers of change should be distributed across an organization, rather than having it be exclusive to any centralized group of leaders or a specialized function. Lasting transformation comes from grassroots engagement.
The key to unlocking this potential comes from lighting up the relationships between individuals. Turning ideas into action depends on identifying connections between how different people view the same problem. It depends on sharing ideas in a place where they are easy for others to find. It depends on whether or not people feel able to speak up and share their ideas without fear. And it depends on understanding how your work aligns with a larger strategic direction.
The best leverage comes from the team understanding that it's not just what we work on, but also the way we work that changes the game.
Here are four different mechanisms that help teams cultivate the capacity to change the systems and accelerate their work.
Retrospective: The Team Retrospective is an impactful and simple kind of team discussion. During a retrospective, a team comes together to consider three simple questions: What's working? Where are we getting stuck? What might we do differently? This seemingly simple practice serves two important functions: 1) it builds shared awareness of the range of things that impact the work, and 2) it pulls together the different perspectives and 'sensing' of each team member into a clearer picture of where they can make the most effective change.
Change Backlog: Often there are different tensions and opportunities for improvement that we surface but can't tackle immediately. These can be significant changes to critical systems, like our hiring or rewards systems, or small tweaks to daily processes that slow us down. A change backlog is a list of potential structural changes, policy changes, projects or actions we might undertake to improve our organization in big or small ways. By capturing our numerous ideas for change in a shared place, we can come together to discuss and prioritize our change initiatives more wisely.
Psychological Safety: Underlying the different processes and structures that can be changed is the fundamental need for a culture where team members feel permission to take risks, fail often, and learn fast. It's essential to build a climate in which each team member feels full permission to point out what's not working, engage dissent creatively, and test out each other's ideas productively. Psychological safety is cultivated by building trust and connection within the team, offering explicit permission to share candidly in service of getting better together, and modeling vulnerability as a leader.
Explicit Direction: The purpose, key priorities, roles, and decision domains on a team are all key levers that often remain implicit. Purpose and priorities are often communicated verbally by leaders, sometimes with great clarity, sometimes without. Role clarity is often designated to job descriptions that become out of date relatively quickly. The fact is, the purpose and priorities we're moving toward as a team, and the roles required to achieve them, fluctuate with the context and pressures facing our work. Teams become more responsive to the fluctuations by coming together at a cadence to make explicit (actually write down!) the purpose and key priorities for a phase of work, what roles and accountabilities are required, and the decision domains of the work. When these mechanisms are made explicit, it gives permission for the full team to contribute to and evolve them to fit the demands of the work.
Everyone—managers, employees, and leaders alike—lack real-time data on the issues that matter to productivity and creativity.
Most organizations have rich data, with large sample sizes, about the effectiveness of the organization and the engagement of its people. We track sales and revenue data. We conduct org health and engagement surveys. Leaders know when outcomes are being achieved. HR folks know with a reasonable level of certainty when there are retention issues. But leaders don't have a critical piece of the story at their fingertips: a clear articulation of the issues that, if unblocked, would lead to positive transformation.
The data we do surface takes too long to gather, so we do it infrequently. The gathering process distracts teams from their day-to-day work, so people are reticent to participate. And because HR leaders want a reliable, standardized dashboard for engagement, the questions we ask are generic.
What if we also surfaced data from the tools and technologies that teams use to do their day-to-day work, and capture issues in the moment, rather than relying on unreliable memories to build an accurate picture of what's going on? This data could flow directly to the people that can make decisions about how the organization's structure can and should change, instead of being filtered through consultants or simply never surfaced.
We lack professional-grade tools to capture the design of the organization in ways that promote the use of the organization design in day-to-day work.
Most of the organization's levers for change are built and stored in Microsoft PowerPoint, and that is where the levers typically go to die—or, at least, to remain unused.
Organizations, teams and individual workers are informed of the new designs every few years. The designs are comprehensively annotated, with process maps, meeting charters, decision matrices, and role descriptions. Each of these changes could be a lever for positive change, but they are too static to make an impact. They don't adapt to the real-life experiences and needs of employees.
Local tweaks and adjustments at the edges of the organization, aren't reflected or integrated back into the system. This is partly due to the lack of direct, data-driven linkages between the documents that describe and govern the organization. Dependencies and interlinked processes break. Budget rules are lost to errant keystrokes. Responsibilities can be changed by a disgruntled employee. This happens at every level of the organization, not just at the frontlines.
Additionally, the language used in the documents requires specialized knowledge to understand and to interact with.
Given these problems, organizations ask employees to avoid adjusting the organization design, and instead leave that work to the "experts".
Visualizing the organizational form—matrixed or not—is a nearly impossible design task, given the incredible complexity of most organizations today. Each formal structure can be represented in several different ways, conveying different relationships between parts. Often, these designs convey the wrong message, and fall far short of clarifying how work will actually get done. The people impacted by the change treat these charts as vague references, rather than as tools for helping them in their work.
These shortcomings of the typical organization design approach rob our organizations of the continual fine-tuning that they require, and force everyone to accept big swings of the controls every once in a while. It's no wonder our organizations have a hard time learning.
There's an alternative, though. New tools could be devised that connect the day-to-day work, and all of the insights about how to improve the organization, directly to the organization design work. Issues can be surfaced in real-time, and flow quickly to the parts of the organization where they can make the most impact. Retrospectives and Change Backlogs can live in software to surface emerging problems as they happen. The explicit direction provided to teams can be adjusted monthly—using data—instead of waiting for the next big shift.
The third enabler of responsive systems change are the people in positions to take action and create opportunities for action by others.
As useful data begins to flow more easily across the organization, the onus falls on people in leadership positions – formal and informal – to respond to that data. The challenge will be for leaders to develop their capacity to sense and respond to a much broader amount of information; deciphering the patterns; and framing smart change experiments.
For many leaders, this will be a new skill to develop. Traditionally, leaders only pay attention to a small fraction of all the information that's coming into the organization. Leaders turn to "experts" or a limited number of close advisors to filter the information. And when leaders do take action, it often comes in the form of big ideas and big initiatives. Because of the size (and cost) of these big moves, leaders create pressure and expectations that the solutions are a silver bullet.
We know, however, that in a complex and uncertain environment, silver bullets are hard to come by. Instead, leaders should seed their big ideas inside small experiments. Leaders should take the radical intent of the long-term change they hope to create and ask themselves and their teams, "What is something we could definitely try within the next 4-8 weeks that would tell us if this larger vision is worth further pursuit?
There are endless levers for positive change waiting to be pulled across an organization. The key to unlocking that potential is recognizing the full range of things that affect our work, and the full range of people who can help us notice and take action. Leaders can engage the broader organization in the quest of responding and transforming by communicating the challenges they're addressing. By building the culture and the tools for asking better questions and surfacing collective wisdom, it is possible to enable the full organization to consciously and strategically evolve the operating model.
Remember, sustainable change doesn't happen in big leaps. Often it's the accumulation of small shifts that create the biggest impact. When small shifts occur constantly, in lots of places, when every team in an organization is actively sensing and responding to the evolving context they're faced with, you start to build a truly agile and responsive organization.

Suicide Prevention Week Begins with UConn Forest Bathing

By Daniela Doncel
STORRS – The University of Connecticut Counseling and Mental Health Services began Suicide Prevention Week with its first ever Forest Bathing event partnered with the Asian American Cultural Center this past Sunday afternoon.
According to Holly Zhen, one of the event organizers, forest bathing is a Japanese practice of going into the forest for relaxation.
"To me, forest bathing is the practice of going into the woods or forest and just letting that natural setting relax you and let it become a meditative space for you," Zhen says.
Amanda Waters, an event organizer from the Asian American Cultural Center, says it also has many health benefits.
"It lowers cortisol levels and it has a lots of different physical health benefits that we can actually measure which is cool, and the fact that we have a forest right here on UConn's campus is amazing, and it's a cool part of Suicide Prevention Week which I'm excited about," Waters says.

About 30 students participated in the event which consisted of a hike through a trail and a guided meditation session.
"Take a couple of deep breaths. Notice how your body feels and notice what's going on in your mind. Just be present with whatever's going on," Waters says.
Professor Thomas Worthley of UConn's Department of Natural Resources and the Environment guides the group through the forest, occasionally stopping to comment on forest life.
Worthley works for UConn Forest, an area of 2,100 acres of woodland owned by UConn that holds multiple trails and areas for research.
"What I hope that you get a chance to do today is [to] pause and listen to some of the sounds, reach out and touch things you don't get a chance to touch every day," Worthley says.

Matthew Wan, a freshman MCB (Molecular and Cell Biology) major, says he was curious about the event.
"I don't know if it's any different from just a walk in the woods, but, you know, I'm here with my friends so that's going to be nice," Wan says.
Alex Houdeshell, a freshman English major, says she thought the event went well.
"There was a little more hiking than I thought there was going to be, but I really liked the meditation part. That part was just really relaxing," Houdeshell says.
UConn Forest Bathing is part of a week-long campaign called Suicide Prevention Week that is meant to raise awareness around suicide among college students, according to Erin Cox, Director of CMHS (Counseling & Mental Health Services) Outreach Services.
"A lot of our purpose is around the idea of connecting students to this larger community. When people feel connected to their community, to the natural world around them, they're less likely to feel that kind of distress. We're also more likely to recognize if somebody's struggling when we're feeling connected," Cox says.
According to Cox, about 1100 college students die by suicide every year nationally.

Cox also says suicide prevention week is a part of September as National Suicide Prevention Month.
"Why do we do more than just one single day of events? Well, because, they have more of an impact, right? The more events that we're doing, the more opportunities we have to reach students, to reach different communities on campus, and to raise awareness," Cox says.
Alexandra Garcia attended UConn Forest Bathing as a sisterhood event with her sorority of Kappa Phi Lambda. She says it's important for UConn to host these kinds of events.
"It's really important for our university to advertise self-care and to remind students that you should take care of yourself first before anything and to remind them that there's always people around to listen to them and be with them in times of need," Garcia says.
"Just let it be an experience without meaning and without reference to any other experience. Just allow yourself to be. Focus on your breath and this present moment," Waters says.

Holiday Gift Guide- Original Christmas Classics and DreamWorks Holiday Collection and RECIPE round-up!
I received the DreamWorks Holiday Collection and Original Christmas Classics DVD Sets for Review. All opinions are my own.
I love family Holiday Movies. In our home, we keep up all of our Fall decorations until the day after Thanksgiving, but we start listening to Christmas music and watching Christmas movies as a family starting November 1st. I think the reason I love holiday movies so much, is because it is a tradition that we do as a family. We sit down as a family, we make a treat or cook up some pizza and we enjoy these classic together. So often, they watch their other movies with their siblings, but holiday movies, we watch as a family. I have so many memories snuggled up with my kids watching these movies, that they just make me smile.
This collection is full of laughter, adventure and surprise that will keep your kids attention, build memories and be watched over and over again. I have added this collection to my Holiday Gift Guide, but I feel that is is more of a pre-holiday gift that you will want to purchase now to enjoy during the Christmas season.
The world's most famous snowman and ambassador of winter fun! When a special silk hat is placed upon his head, Frosty magically comes to life — transforming into a singing, dancing, good-natured pal who spreads happiness wherever he goes.
The most famous reindeer of all, Rudolph is born with something very unique — a bright red nose that glows! But then, one cloudy Christmas Eve, Rudolph uses his nose to guide Santa's sleigh through the fog, saving the day and proving that our differences are what make us special.
Santa Claus is Comin' to Town follows the adventures of toymaker Kris Kringle as he sets outs on a journey to bring toys to the children of Sombertown, and in time, becomes Santa Claus — explaining how many favorite Christmas traditions came to be and demonstrating the importance of sharing joy with others.
As with the DreamWorks collection, I have featured the Original Christmas Collection in my Holiday Gift Guide. I would recommend purchasing it now, so it can be enjoyed all season long.
The Original Christmas Classics Gift Set and Dreamworks Holiday Collection can be purchased on Amazon, or in a retail store near you.
For your enjoyment, here is a round up of Original Christmas Classics and DreamWorks Holiday Collection Holiday recipes!!


Atlanta, GA; In a world full of grandiose attitudes and feelings of entitlement, there are still a few rare people whom work and deserve all the good that come their way. OG Bigga Rankin, the South's number 1 DJ and one of the biggest record breakers in the country is one of those people.
Bigga Rankin is one of the few DJs that will take a chance on new artists because of his ear and most importantly his heart. Artists such as, but not limited to Plies, Yo Gotti, 2 Chainz, Gucci Mane, T.I., Young Dolph, and most recently YFN Lucci have all gotten a start with the streets A&R himself.
I could go on with many more titles and names, yet all this information is simply a google search away. The accolades and awards have reached amazing numbers, although Bigga does not take this as a signal to slow down. Today, we bring his record "I Deserve It All" because if anyone deserves it all, it is truly him. Bringing in hitters Ball Greezy, YFN Lucci, Derez De'shon, and Major Nine to this Nikki Beats produced anthem...we are proud to say "it's long overdue", presented by Team Bigga Rankin and Empire Distribution, we dedicate this to anyone that has ever come to a concert, copped a mixtape, or supported the hardest working and most humble record breaker of the all...OG BIGGA RANKIN.
Press Play, add to your playlists, and share this record. All support is truly appreciated and as we've already said DESERVED!
