Strickland zeroes in on 19th Senate District
By Pacific Coast Business Times Staff Friday, September 19th, 2008
When it comes to balancing a state budget, at least two things would be "off the table" for Simi Valley Republican Tony Strickland: raising taxes and releasing inmates early from California's crowded prisons.
"If we don't feel safe in our schools or our streets or our businesses, we're not going to have profitable businesses," Strickland said. "I think putting criminals behind bars is a good thing, not a bad thing," he added later.
Strickland represented the 37th Assembly District, which covers Camarillo and East Ventura County, for three terms, from 1998 to 2004. After an unsuccessful run for state controller in 2006, he is running for the 19th Senate district, which covers most of Santa Barbara County except Santa Maria, much of east and west Ventura County except Ventura, and parts of Los Angeles County.
Portions of the 19th Senate District such as Simi Valley have been GOP strongholds for two decades. Strickland is trying to keep the district in the Republican Party column amid a strong push by Democrats to take the seat, one of two seats the Democrats would need to achieve a veto-proof two-thirds Senate majority.
On policy, Strickland adheres to many of the Republican Party themes that brought him past electoral success: smaller government, leaner budgets, tighter tort laws, bigger tax incentives to attract and retain businesses, and a return to local control over education spending.
But on occasion, Strickland veers from party themes, particularly with regard to a renewed enthusiasm among national Republicans for off-shore oil drilling.
While he supports on-shore oil drilling in California as a means to end America's dependence on foreign energy, Strickland calls off-shore drilling "a Band-Aid solution. My focus will be in renewable energy and technology and doing whatever we can to bring in as much renewable energy as possible," Strickland said.
Strickland himself has invested $5,000 to become the vice president and co-owner of Thousand Oaks-based GreenWave Energy Solutions.
Founded last year by a small group of investors, the company has no operations, revenue or specific technology and has not begun raising capital. It is awaiting a green light from federal regulators.
While Strickland said there are "no easy answers" budget impasses such as this year's – which, at nearly 80 days, broke records – he supports a spending-growth cap that would limit the expansion of state funding using a formula that takes into account population growth and inflation. In boom years, any surplus cash would go into "rainy day" fund.
"We should be saving that for a rainy day, so we don't constantly get into this same cycle," Strickland said. "Every year, it's like 'Groundhog Day.'"
Strickland would push to offer bonuses to directors of public agencies who find ways to cut and streamline their departments. "As a whole, when you have more people working in the government than the private sector, you're going to have big problems going forward," Strickland said.
As California's population grows older and lives longer, Strickland would also trim the benefit and retirement packages that public employees receive. "But at the same time, we need to do whatever we can to lure people into public safety, fire and law enforcement," Strickland said.
Strickland also believes in doling out state education money as block grants to local districts, allowing boards to spend the money as they see fit. "It's easier to vote out your local school district than a bureaucracy in Sacramento or Washington, D.C.," Strickland said.
Strickland decries California's corporate tax rate. At 40.7 percent, California's statutory corporate tax rate – which reflects the letter of the law but not what corporations actually pay – ranks 11th highest in the nation, according to the Tax Foundation, an advocacy group.
Strickland would create tax incentives, modeled after those of other states, to attract and retain businesses. "What we're doing in the legislature is becoming an economic development agency for states like Arizona, Florida and Nevada," Strickland said.
But after his fiscal proposals, Strickland's policy specifics begin to fade. In the course of an hour-long interview, Strickland used the phrase "do whatever we can" seven times when asked about the details of his positions on energy, agriculture, public education and tort reform. He said he would listen to residents in areas outside his direct expertise.
Strickland conceded that with a heavy Democrat majority in both houses, it would be tough to pursue his policy goals in the legislature.
"Right now, it's just playing defense," Strickland said. "The reason the race I'm running for right now [is crucial] is because the Democrats in Sacramento are trying to get a two-thirds majority."


Want Feedback on Your Dovetail Joinery?
We have created our step-by-step courses to suit beginner woodworkers, they have visuals accompanying each step along with a written description breaking down the process. However, you might find that you've followed all the instructions but your joint still doesn't seem to turn out the way you had hoped.
There are several things that I came across when making my joints for the first time which, after talking to Paul, I found can easily be improved the next time with small adjustments to my technique. We understand that not everyone will run into the same problems, however if we can get a sample of the issues people are facing with their first attempts at joinery, then we will be better equipped to try to advise you on how to avoid these problems in the future.
We would like to invite you to send in one of your first woodworking joints. It may be that you can't get it to align, there might be gaps, or you may even have made each of the accompanying pieces the wrong sizes. Whatever hurdles you have run into, we would like to get a real life sample of your woodworking joints for Paul Sellers to analyse so we can offer a trouble shooting service which might help beginners with their first few attempts at joinery.
Please note that we will not be able to return anything that is sent to us. By sending us your joint, you are agreeing for us to photograph this and use it on our website and social channels. You will being paying all postage costs (to our UK address) so we advise sending in small joints, approximately 3″ (76mm) if you would like to minimise your costs. We also recommend taking the joint apart for easier postage. For this exercise we will only be accepting dovetail joints.
To see our dovetail joint course, click here.
Please provide us with your name in the format that you wish for it to be published.
Please provide a valid email address for us to send our joinery analysis to, this will not be published.
Beginner- Early on in their woodworking journey, has little or no experience using tools. May not have a workbench. Has built little or no projects.
Intermediate- Has experience using a small collection of tools (5-10), can make the 3 main woodworking joints (mortise and tenon, dovetail and housing dado). May have built a few small projects equivalent to the dovetail box and hanging wall shelf. May have a workbench.
What did you find difficult? How many dovetail joints have you made before? What project are you hoping to make which includes the dovetail joint?
This is great. When is the "due date"? I just got my saw, and piece of wood for the dovetail guide, but still need to make the dovetail guide, then plan on making the dovetail course.
There is no end date at the moment, however we will make it clear when we are no longer accepting dovetail joints in a few months time.
It would be great if some of this analysis was made into a video too. So the rest of us can learn as well.
We will be sharing our findings in the hope that we can eliminate some of the struggles beginners may face.

Q: Existence of numbers coprime within a certain limit Let $n=2^km$ be a positive integer with $m$ odd and $r$ the largest prime that divides $m$. Then are there at least $\frac{r-1}{2}$ numbers coprime to $n$ which are less than $r$?
I think yes, but am unable to clearly see it. There are $r-1$ numbers coprime to $r$ less than $r$. But does this translate to half of them being  coprime to $n$? What if I replace $r$ as the largest prime to the smallest prime that divides $n$? Any hints? Thanks beforehand.

A: This is easily seen to be false. Thanks to comment by @abc...  consider the number $n=210=2\cdot3\cdot5\cdot7$. Then $r$ is $7$ but there are not $3$ numbers that are coprime to $210$ less than $7$

Elbow arthroscopy surgery is a less invasive, more commonly used medical procedure used for treatment of elbow joint injuries. It involves uses of a small camera (about the size of a pencil) to examine the elbow, diagnose the issue, and then remove or repair the damaged tissues as needed.
Unlike a full joint operation, elbow arthroscopy is performed through a small incision into the joint. During this procedure, the orthopedic surgeon can fix several elbow-related problems, such as tennis elbow, removal of loose bodies (pieces of cartilage or bone), treatment of osteoarthritis, treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, and release of scar tissue to improve range of motion. It is almost always performed on an outpatient basis, and anesthesia can be local, regional, or general depending on the exact procedure being performed. Sometimes, a combination of both open incision and arthroscopic procedures can be performed together.
Completed an arthroscopy and joint replacement fellowship at Mercy Medical Center in Baltimore, MD and a complete shoulder rotation fellowship at Texas Orthopedic Hospital in Houston, TX.
Completed his medical training at St John's Medical College in Bangalore, India. Chief Orthopedic Surgeon and Joint Replacement Surgeon at Health City Cayman Islands.
Candidates have painful elbow conditions that do not respond to nonsurgical treatment such as rest, physical therapy, and medications or injections that reduce inflammation. Typically, injury, overuse and age-related wear and tear are responsible for most shoulder problems. Patients with certain conditions are candidates for elbow arthroscopy include: Elbow arthritis (either osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis), tennis elbow, or lateral epicondylitis, removal of loose bodies, release of scar tissue to improve range of motion, and osteochondritis dissecans (damage to humerus bone from certain sports).
Candidates who have not yet exhausted nonsurgical treatment options or who are suffering from an active elbow infection are generally not good candidates for elbow arthroscopy. For more severe shoulder conditions, an open shoulder surgery may be a better fit. Some surgeries to treat some elbow conditions are better performed using an open incision include treatment of golfer's elbow, replacement of the elbow joint, and decompression of the ulnar nerve.
Like other surgeries, elbow arthroscopy requires a complete physical examination with your primary care provider before surgery. You should inform your orthopedic surgeon of any medications or supplements you take, and comply with certain general surgery procedures such as preoperative blood testing and possible cessation of smoking or use of pain relievers and anti-inflammatory drugs one week prior. You will likely be asked to stop eating or drinking the night before the surgery.
You will be able to recover from elbow arthroscopy faster than you would for traditional joint surgery. Immediately after your procedure, your doctor will prescribe pain relief medication and possibly, a blood thinner (to lessen the risk of blood clots), and will go home the day of the surgery in most instances. In the first few days after surgery, keep your elbow elevated and apply ice to relieve swelling and prevent further inflammation. Ensure your incisions are kept clean and dry, and follow your surgeon's instructions in regards to bathing, changing the dressing, and follow-up visits.
You will be encouraged to move your fingers and wrist frequently to stimulate circulation and minimize swelling. Depending on what exact arthroscopic surgery has been performed, recovery time will vary.
As with any surgery, there are risks of complications related to bleeding, blood clots, infection or adverse reactions to anesthesia. Other known complications include nerve irritation/injury. Studies have shown that elbow arthroscopy has a slightly higher risk of infection and nerve injury in comparison to knee or shoulder arthroscopy.


Native San Diegan Ashley Tipton began sewing and designing clothes as a child, but got a recent shot at the spotlight through the Lifetime reality show "Project Runway." She competes in the current season, which premiered Aug. 6 and wraps up in early November.
Tipton, 23, was raised in Encanto and now lives in Chula Vista. She gravitated toward clothing design to fulfill her own fashion needs; as a plus-sized girl, she felt the offerings in her size range were too limited and ordinary. Craving statement pieces that expressed her personality, she sewed them herself.
Once she started, Tipton saw a niche in the plus-sized market that she aimed to fill. After graduating from University High School in San Diego, she earned a degree in fashion design and technology from Fashion Careers College in San Diego and then launched her own line. Her first collection focused on androgynous menswear-inspired styles. Her next collection, she said, will offer sexier, feminine lines.
Her work caught the attention of producers from "Project Runway," and this summer, she joined the show's 14th season. Wearing a lavender sequined dress of her own creation, she talked about her take on fashion.
Q: How did you decide to become a fashion designer?
A: I decided to become a fashion designer when I couldn't find clothing that was fashionable in my size when growing up. The lack of more fashionable and bold clothing for the plus-sized woman inspired me to create what was missing in the plus-size fashion industry.
Q: Your grandmother taught and inspired you as a seamstress. Please tell us about her influence on your career.
A: While growing up, my grandmother would always do arts and crafts with me. She also taught me how to sew when I was 7 years old. She taught me how to let go, be creative, and how to express myself through art.
Q: What are the unique features of plus-sized design?
A: Plus-size women want to stand out as individuals, and as a designer I would like to be known as body positive as well as creative.
Q: How would you characterize your style and vision as a designer?
A: My vision and style is: "Fun, Funky and Fat". I design clothing to make women feel confident and fashionable.
Q: What are the key qualities you seek in the clothes you create?
A: I love to work with fabric that has structure, especially upholstery fabric. And fabric that has fun prints and is unique. To make sure I get the right fit with the fabric, I make sure I make samples and have lots of fittings with my clients.
A: I received an email to apply for "Project Runway" in February. My grandmother had just passed away two days prior to me receiving the application. She was the one who taught me how to sew and I decided to take the chance and applied. I wanted to see how far I could go and here I am today! I'm so glad that I did, and I know that my grandmother would be proud!
Q: What was it like filming and competing in the series, particularly as a young contestant?
A: In some ways, it was intimidating but it was also a confidence booster. You have to think and create fast in order to complete the challenges. Dealing with unique personalities and critical judges helped me build a thick skin and become a stronger designer.
Q: What is the most valuable lesson you've learned from participating in "Project Runway"?
A: I learned to not take things personally, to believe in myself and to grow.
Q: Who are some of the designers who most inspire you?
A: Marc Jacobs and Isaac Mizrahi.
Q: What is the unique garment you've created?
A: I'm dyslexic, but I haven't let that stop me from following my dreams.
A: Enjoying brunch in Hillcrest, walking around the little shops with my friends and then going to Golden Hill Park and watching the sunset. Of course, we would then finish the night at Pizzeria Luigi!

U.S.|Martin Death Spurs Group to Readjust Policy Focus
Martin Death Spurs Group to Readjust Policy Focus
By Eric Lichtblau
WASHINGTON — An influential conservative policy group that came under attack after the Trayvon Martin shooting for pushing Stand Your Ground gun laws nationwide said Tuesday that it was getting out of the law enforcement and social policy arenas and returning to its economic roots.
The group, the American Legislative Exchange Council, or ALEC, had suffered an exodus of big-name corporate supporters like McDonald's, Coca-Cola and Kraft Foods after recent attacks by liberal organizations.
While the group had already been discussing a narrowing of its work, the controversy generated by the Martin shooting "may have sped up the process," Chip Rogers, a Georgia state senator who is the group's treasurer, said in a telephone interview.
The group's legislative board voted unanimously to disband its committee that developed policies on public safety, elections and other noneconomic issues.
ALEC, which is made up of more than 2,000 state legislators, develops model bills and policy positions on hundreds of issues.
Critics of the group were galvanized by the Feb. 26 shooting of Mr. Martin, a 17-year-old, unarmed student, and the debate over Florida's Stand Your Ground law, said David Halperin, a senior fellow for United Republic, a liberal nonprofit group.
"The issue of a young man being killed and linked to this organization made it much harder for companies to say, 'Gee, this is a great organization that we want to support,' "Mr. Halperin said.
Since then, corporate supporters and philanthropic organizations, like the Gates Foundation, have withdrawn contributions to the organization that are believed to total hundreds of thousands of dollars. (It does not publicly list the amounts contributed by its members and donors.)
"We hate to see any members leave," said Kaitlyn Buss, a spokeswoman for the group, "and we hope to work with these companies that have had problems again in the future."

This Day in History (2-May-2011) – A night raid in Abbottabad, Pakistan by American special operations kills Osama bin Laden
In 2007, U.S. intelligence uncovered the name of one of bin Laden's most trusted couriers. By August 2010, they identified the Abbottabad compound in Pakistan as the home of the courier and his brother. In a months' time, the CIA informed President Barack Obama that bin Laden may be living in the Abbottabad compound. They based this on the size and price tag of the compound as well as the elaborate security. Satellites performed more than 387 "collects" of high-resolution and infrared images of the Abbottabad compound in the month before the raid. In March and April 2011, President Obama chaired the five National Security Council meetings to discuss an operation to raid bin Laden's compound. On 29th April morning, Obama gave the order to raid bin Laden's compound.
Operation Neptune was launched in full coordination with the Pakistani Air Force and ground forces. A group of 25 Navy Seals allegedly flew from the Jalalabad airbase in Afghanistan in the two 'modified' Black Hawk helicopters and landed in Bin Laden's Abbottabad compound some 90 minutes later in the early morning hours of 2nd May. The operation took 40 minutes total. U.S. Special Forces breached the outer walls of the compound before fighting their way through the ground floor of the three story building where bin Laden lived. The firefight then moved to the second and third floors where the bin Laden family lives. In the last 5-10 minutes of the firefight, bin Laden was killed by a gunshot wound to the head, above the left eye. Three men, including a son of bin Laden, were killed as well as one woman. Bin Laden's body was identified by one of his wives.
Eight hours after the raid, a forensic intelligence laboratory run by the Defense Intelligence Agency in Afghanistan analyzed DNA from bin Laden's corpse and "provided a conclusive match" confirming his identity. He was buried at sea off the deck of the USS Carl Vinson in the Arabian Sea, within 24 hours according to Islamic law. On 6th May, Al Qaeda confirmed bin Laden's death, in a statement on jihadist forums.

California's African Americans Far More Likely than Whites to Be Arrested on Felony Charges
(photo: Getty Images)
By Bob Egelko, San Francisco Chronicle via New York Times
SAN FRANCISCO -- Arrest rates have dropped for all racial groups in California over the last decade, but African Americans are still much more likely than whites to be arrested on felony charges, according to a report released Friday.
In 2015, blacks were 10 times as likely as whites to be arrested on robbery charges and three to five times as likely to be arrested on charges of burglary, theft or assault, according to the report from the state attorney general's office. For felonies involving narcotics, black men were six times as likely as white men to be arrested, and black women were 2.9 times as likely as white women, the report said.
The disparity was even larger for charges of prostitution, in which black women were 20 times as likely to be arrested as white women.
The differences were much less for Latinos, who were about twice as likely as non-Latino whites to be arrested for robbery and were arrested at about the same rate as whites for narcotics. The report also noted that the racial gap was much larger a decade ago, when African Americans in California were about 17 times as likely as whites to be arrested on narcotics charges.
Still, Attorney General Kamala Harris said in a statement, the data show ``pervasive inequalities in our criminal justice system. ... We must continue the national dialogue about criminal justice reform and promote the American idea that we are all equal under the law.''
The report noted the effect of Proposition 47, the 2014 initiative that reclassified drug possession and theft crimes under $950 as misdemeanors instead of felonies.
Felony arrests in California dropped by 29 percent in 2015, the report said, while misdemeanor arrests increased by 11 percent.
But arrests have also declined over a longer period, the report said: by 17.5 percent, or an average of 32,500 a year, since 2008.
The racial gap is disturbing but not surprising, said Rory Little, a law professor at the University of California at Hastings in San Francisco and a former federal prosecutor.
``The exact numbers change, but no matter what people do, there seems to be a persistent racial disparity,'' Little said.
In part, he said, it reflects differences in income, as police tend to patrol more in poorer neighborhoods, which also are more likely to be communities of color. Another reason, he said, is ``unconscious bias,'' which police share with the rest of society.
``If you (the officer) see a poorly dressed person walking down the street looking in car windows, you might follow the black person more than the white person,'' Little said. If asked for an explanation, the officer would probably say, ``He just looked suspicious to me.''

So, you know a single mom or two. There's no doubt in my mind. Look around your life. I bet you could name a couple off the top of your head, either from work or church or the neighborhood. But you're busy with your own life and family and responsibilities. Or you have no idea what you could actually offer them. Or you don't want to come across as high and mighty, as if single moms are a charity case.
I get it. Before I was a single mom, before I was divorced, I didn't know how to reach out to the women in my life who found themselves parenting solo. And because I didn't know how, I just didn't do it.
And then I became a single mom. And the loneliness set in. And the realization that every meal decision and preparation fell to me. And all grocery shopping was on me. And buying the clothes and gym shoes were my job. And afterschool homework time was now on my shoulders. In other words, I was the main grown-up. And it freaked me out and scared me and made me sad and left me feeling very, very isolated.
Being a single mom is hard. It's physically hard, emotionally hard, and spiritually hard. We battle loneliness, insecurities, doubts, exhaustion, and fear, and we do so, for the most part, all on our own. Single moms need your help.
We won't bite, I promise. We won't feel like we're being pitied. We'll be grateful. So very grateful. So, please reach out to us.
Here are ten ways you can reach out to the precious women in your life who are raising their children in a way that God never intended: on their own.
1. Pray for us. We might be processing a spouse's death or betrayal in the midst of our transition to solo-parenting. But regardless, we need your prayers to help us get through this time.
2. Handyman help, lawn care, or automotive repair. Without a partner to either do these tasks for us or the money to have someone else do it, we might be a bit lost at first.
3. Mentor and love our children. 'It takes a village' means so much more to us single moms. We are very aware that we can't be everything to our children. Please step in to fill the gaps.
4. Give us gift cards to grocery stores, gas stations, restaurants, Target, Walmart, Amazon, pretty much anywhere. Odds are, money is tight in a new way, and every little bit will help.
5. Invite us and our kids to be a part of your life. Have us over for dinner. Take us along when you do a family outing. No longer being a "complete" family, so to speak, can sting. This will help stave off the loneliness and stigma.
6. Offer to take care of our kids to give us a break. We're tired. Help!
7. Financial mentoring. For some of us, budgeting and living within tighter constraints is brand new, and we need wise counsel to help us transition.
8. Take us out for coffee or lunch. Without a partner in our daily lives, we can get lonely. An hour of adult conversation can go a long way.
9. Surprise us with a gift like a mani/pedi, massage, or drop off a home-cooked meal. For the most part, we're probably not being given gifts or extravagances these days. A little something special would brighten our day.
10. Simply check in to see how we're doing and what we might need. When you don't know how to help, just ask us. We'll tell you.
Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction (James 1:27a).

Throughout the Federal Criminal Code and Rules and the Federal Sentencing Guidelines there are numerous firearms violations. Chapter 44 USC 18 sections 921 through 931 contain most of the relevant provisions of law, however there are penalties attributed to firearms violations throughout the code. Federal law prohibits possession of firearms by certain people, and also the possession of certain types of weapons under specific situations, such as fully-automatic weapons and weapons equipped with silencing devices. the code further explains enhanced penalties for crimes when a firearm was possessed, brandished, used, or fired during the commission of other crimes. the federal laws contain mandatory minimum sentences for some classifications of people who possess firearms. Under certain circumstances, like possessing a firearm after being convicted of a felony offense or of the offense of domestic battery penalties can be severe. Do to the complicated application of the Federal Sentencing Guidelines, the only way to accurately describe the penalties applicable to a person charged with a weapons violation is to examine the entire case and relevant laws.

Modern Piano Boston
70 Fayette Street, Watertown, MA
What Makes A Piano Great?
May 9, 2016 Michael Wilson
Often I talk about piano and sound in good pianos or bad, but I often forget that most people don't have a wide frame of reference. Most pianos I visit belong to a family that has owned that instrument for decades. While I can't describe attributes of sound quality from when those pianos were new, I can describe that of a new piano. I tune between 800 and 1,000 pianos each year, and most of those are brand new from the factory. So what makes the best ones sound so great?
Describing sound is difficult, but can be achieved with practice. Try it. Describe the sound of the trains at Government Center in Boston. I can hear the shrill squeal of the steel as the wheels go around a bend. That sound is very sharp. It pierces and hurts your ears. Try to describe the sound of the ocean... It's sometimes calming, often bright, and carries on continuously. Now describe the sound that's made when you drop a large stone onto wet earth. It makes a dull thud as the ground absorbs the weight of the rock and the sound itself. These are pretty simple things commonly described in sound, so lets try something different. Describe your mothers voice.. It's not so easy, is it?
If that is too abstract for you, this is what musicians and piano technicians often deal with, describing the voice of something so abstract. We use keywords like "colorful," "bright," "warm," "dark," "dull," and so on. There are many factors that attribute to the sound of the piano, things we can easily change like the key height, the weight of the hammers and the distance they travel, the tuning. Then there are things that are not so easily changed; the shape of the cabinet, the length of the sounding part of the string, and even the strings themselves. We can control and reset many of the parts attributing to sound, but what makes a piano great is the voice that is coming from the parts we can not change and the energy in an instrument.
Piano construction has become a combination of science and experience, and I won't begin to state any opinions on shape and size and so on, so let's skip right to what I think makes the best piano sound. I'd like to use a real world example as my reference.
I tuned an asian made baby grand piano that measures 160cm. This is a fairly small piano, and short strings often result in poor sound quality. I like single notes that are very clear and ring like a bell. In the bass I listen for crisp power and sustain. In the tenor I listen to the clarity of the strings and their relationship with other notes in a chord. In the treble, the voice should be consistent with the rest of the keys, bright, and clear. Finally, when I play a chord, whether it's a simple power chord or a dominant seventh, when held out, they sustain for a long time. The sustain time on this piano was very long. Sustain over 30 seconds would be fair, but the sound in this piano rolled around forever, striking harmonics in the string scale and continued to beat between the cabinet, soundboard, harp, and whatever else it could find to energize it along. The energy inside an instrument is what makes a piano special. This is actually called stored mechanical energy or stored energy of position. Share or Like this if you found it helpful, and next time you are playing a piano, practice describing the voice. Maybe it's gentle and calm, like you're mom's when reading to you long ago. Happy Mothers Day!

'My meeting with Hannah Goslar, Anne Frank's best friend'
Monserrat, left, with Hannah Goslar — Anne Frank's best friend.
By Ayleen Barbel Fattal
January 24, 2020 at 2:23am
The United Nations General Assembly designated January 27 as International Holocaust Remembrance Day to commemorate victims of the Holocaust. Six million Jews were murdered by Germany's Nazi regime, along with 5 million non-Jews who were killed during World War II. The anniversary, marked each year since 2005, falls on the anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp in Poland by the Russian army in 1945. Anne Frank — a German-Jewish teenager who went into hiding during the Holocaust and journaled her experiences in the renowned book "The Diary of Anne Frank" — spent a month in Auschwitz. She was later transported to Bergen-Belsen concentration camp where she died a few weeks before the liberation.
FIU mathematics professor Ada Monserrat frequently travels on semester breaks pursuing unique experiences. Below is her story about when she met Anne Frank's childhood friend.
By Ada Monserrat
Anne Frank wrote about her daily life while in hiding to avoid capture by the Nazi regime. Her writings were published after her death at the hands of the Nazis in The Diary of Anne Frank. It's a story that moved me beyond words.
I chose to travel to the "Secret Annex" in Holland where young Anne spent two years in hiding. I saw the bookcase leading to the entrance of the annex. I was in her room, saw the pictures she left up on her wall and even got an up close look at her famous diary. But I yearned for more. I wanted to learn about this brave young girl who during a time of deprivation of youth and freedom, found a way to turn a hopeless situation into one that would bring inspiration and make a mark in the history books.
So began my journey searching for one of the few living survivors that knew Anne Frank. After the 70th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, I ran into an article in the Jerusalem post on Holocaust survivors. Writing back and forth with the journalist about my interest, I was able to obtain information for Anne Frank's closest childhood friend, Hannah Goslar. I wrote to Hannah several times patiently waiting for a response and soon received the call I was waiting for.
Goslar and Monserrat at Goslar's home in Jerusalem.
On Jan. 5, 2016, I finally had the chance to sit down with Anne Frank's best friend. Over tea and pretzels at her Jerusalem residence, she shared some of her life story. She spoke about childhood memories with Anne. She talked about her outgoing personality and encounters during Anne Frank's last days through the fences of Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in Germany. Hannah graciously gifted me with an autographed copy of her memoirs for a keepsake. She is an advocate for peace giving lectures at different universities around the world to share her message and story.
This year marks the 75th anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp in Poland. As we honor International Holocaust Remembrance Day, I will never forget my meeting with Hannah Goslar. She reminded me of the importance of spirit and hope in the face of adversity, as well as aspiring for a world in which people can live together respectfully in freedom regardless of origin, faith or political belief.

First, second and compote: full menu of Belarusians top dishes
In Belarus, there is a classic phrase familiar to every child: "first, second and compote (fresh drink made of fruits or berries)". The thing is that Belarus is very fond of a tasty meal, even in schools, students get for lunch the first course (soup or borsch), the second course (main) and compote (or any other light drink). Today we offer you our own menu consisting of Belarusian dishes, which VETLIVA strongly advises you to try when you first visit the country.
Full Belarusian menu
Kholodnik
Zhur
Soured black bread
Draniki
Klezki
Verashchaka
Krambambula
Sbiten
Kulaga
Nalistniki
Kholodnik (=cold soup)
Holders are proud of traditional Belarusian cuisine. On hot summer days, this soup literally saves Belarusians from overheating and gives a lot of energy to continue working. The basic ingredient of the classic recipe is boiled and cooled beets. To it are added hard boiled eggs, chopped dill, cucumbers and radishes. All this is poured beetroot mixed with kvass and served with sour cream.
Zhur (=flour soup)
This is the oldest recipe of the Belarusian hot soup with a sour taste, which is prepared on soured flour. The name comes from the word "zhuraviny", which means "cranberry", as well as from the old Germanic root "saur-" (meaning "sour"). It was prepared on the basis of various flours: rye, oatmeal, wheat and even buckwheat — in a word, what they were rich with, it was used. First, the flour was diluted with water and left in a warm place for 1-3 days. Then the mixture was filtered and boiled until thick. After it was seasoned with toasted lard and onion and served with a boiled or baked potato.
What a soup without bread! Almost every foreign guest praises the bread of Belarus. In ancient times, it was baked in real ovens without the use of yeast. The dough was sour on "roshchyn" — a small portion of dough from the previous baking. The composition consisted of rye flour, salt and water, and literally kneaded it with his fists. Before going to the oven on the prepared piece of dough, they always painted a cross. A loaf is considered perfectly baked when the steam from it goes straight up. This bread you cannot try abroad!
VETLIVA advices: you can cook all the dishes that you see in this list by yourself or try it in one of the local restaurants: in our guides in the regional cities of Belarus — Minsk, Brest, Grodno, Gomel, Vitebsk — we told about such restaurants!
Draniki (=potato pancakes)
This is perhaps the most recognizable Belarusian dish. Fritters of grated potatoes with onions and sometimes eggs, despite the simplicity of preparation, have an amazing taste. There are many versions of this recipe in other countries, but Belarusians are the authors of the original. As a rule, pancakes are baked in clay pots or fried in a cast-iron pan and served with sour cream or butter.
Klezki (=dumplings)
Another dish that Belarusian cuisine is famous for is dumplings. To prepare them, first manually rub on the smallest grater (yes, Belarusians are hard-working people) onions and potatoes. Then the mixture is squeezed through cheesecloth and after it is added an egg, salt and some wheat flour. Further, balls of diameters of about 5-6 cm are formed from the dough and are boiled in salted water. In Belarus, dumplings are served with sour cream and sprinkled with chopped fresh herbs.
Verashchaka (=sause)
The cult dish of the national cuisine of Belarus is something of a meat sauce. It is rather a festive treat, which was previously based on homemade sausage and bread kvass, but served with pancakes or a side dish.
VETLIVA reminds: to arrange a full-fledged gastrotour, do not forget to stay in Belarus for a couple of days (visa-free regime!). So choose your best variant and take a rest!
Krambambula (=tincture)
Those who are not familiar with the peculiarities of the national Belarusian cuisine, this name brings affection. But in fact, this is the name of the hot drink, which is based on alcohol or vodka with the addition of honey and spices such as cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg, black and red hot peppers. The tincture is strong, but very fragrant. We recommend you to taste that classic!
Sbiten (=honey drink)
The famous Belarusian drink can be both cool and hot. The first was prepared to quench their thirst in the hot summer and after the bath, and the second — to warm themselves in the winter and also to get rid of a cold. In both cases, it consisted of honey, water, hot peppers, cloves, bay leaves and nutmeg.
VETLIVA tells: many dishes can be tasted as part of an excursion to real Belarusian towns and ancient cities! In Dudutki, for example, try whatever you want and relax with a national Belarusian flavor.
Kulaga (=berry jelly)
The dessert of the national cuisine of Belarus is prepared from fresh berries (blueberries, strawberries, cranberries, viburnum or mountain ash). They are boiled over the fire, honey is added and wheat flour diluted in water. And then boil to the consistency of jelly. Served with pancakes or white bread.
Nalistniki (=pancakes)
This is originally a Belarusian dish, someone mistakenly calls them pancakes. However, there is a significant distinctive detail: while pancakes are a separate dish, the nalistniki are designed specifically for "packing", as a rule, cottage cheese filling. The egg dough is bland and tasteless, and the nalistnik is thin, non-porous and elastic. In this case, the filling is placed exactly in the center and then tightly covered with edges.
10 best Belarusain dishes: help yourself!
Have you already drooling saliva? We have yes! After all, all these dishes are truly unique and beautiful, you want to try everything at once. Go to Belarus and try all these national dishes and take with you only the most delicious memories.

Warthog is a five piece band from NYC who formed in 2012. Chris Hansell used to be the lead screamer in the ever-evolving New York scum-rock band the Men, and now he fronts Warthog.
They play a killer style of blistering and ferocious hardcore/punk. Musicallty, Warthog can be loosely compared to bands such as Rash, Gay Kiss, S.H.I.T., Omegas, and other like-minded bands. Since forming in 2012, Warthog have released a self-titled demo in May of 2012, a three song 7″ titled Exterminate Me in January of 2014, a four song 7″ titled Prison in April of 2014, and a self-titled four song 7″ in September of 2016. This is the band's latest 7″, which was released via Static Shock and Toxic State records on October 26th, 2018. On their latest 7″, Warthog offer up four songs of raging and venomous hardcore/punk. Overall, Warthog's latest 7″ makes for an awesome listen and definitely should not be missed. Highly recommended! Enjoy!

When a pet owner has made the very difficult decision to help his or her pet die, many questions arise regarding the actual process of euthanasia. What exactly occurs when a pet is euthanatized? Is the animal aware of what is happening? Is he in pain during the euthanasia process? What does the veterinarian use to help the pet die?
The term euthanasia is derived from the Greek terms "eu" meaning good and "thanatos" meaning death. A "good death" would be one that occurs without pain or distress. Euthanasia is the act of producing a humane death in an animal. In order to produce a humane death, the techniques employed should result in rapid unconsciousness followed by cardiac or respiratory arrest. Also, the technique should minimize any stress and anxiety experienced by the animal prior to unconsciousness.
If the animal appears anxious or distressed when presented for euthanasia, most veterinarians will administer a tranquilizer or sedative prior to the actual euthanasia injection. This ensures that the animal is restful and peaceful prior to the euthanasia. The tranquilizer may be given with a needle under the skin or in the muscle, or with pills which are taken orally. Generally it takes approximately 15 minutes for a tranquilizer to help the pet relax.
Most veterinarians use an injectable drug, most commonly pentobarbital, which is given in a vein. This barbiturate depresses the central nervous system beginning with the cerebral cortex, the part of the brain that determines awareness. The pet will lapse into unconsciousness, and then progress to anesthesia (the absence of pain). With an overdose of pentobarbital, deep anesthesia is followed by the stopping of breathing and then by cardiac arrest.
The advantages of using a barbiturate are the speed of action and the very minimal discomfort to the animal (the only pain being associated with the needle puncture).
To inject the euthanasia solution, a vein is first prepared by painlessly clipping away the hair. A needle may be inserted directly into the vein and the euthanasia solution slowly injected, or a catheter (a small plastic tube) may be inserted in the vein and the injection given through it.
Most animals die quickly, within ten seconds. Their eyes remain open and some animals urinate and defecate following death. Some animals gasp after they have died and may even twitch. These normal, mechanical responses can be very disconcerting to pet owners who stay with their pets during euthanasia if the owners are not prepared in advance.
The decision for euthanasia is a difficult one, but the actual process is painless and very quick, granting our beloved pets a peaceful ending to their lives. Pet owners should feel free to discuss all questions concerning the euthanasia process with their veterinarians, so that they may be as comfortable as possible with their decisions.

Qantas Tour of South Africa
Paine to be Australia's 46th Test captain
Tasmanian wicketkeeper-batsman completes remarkable rise, replacing suspended Smith for fourth Test
Louis Cameron
28 March 2018, 01:07 AM AEST
@LouisDBCameron
Tim Paine will become Australia's 46th Test captain on Friday following Cricket Australia's decision to strip Steve Smith of the captaincy for his involvement in the Cape Town ball-tampering scandal.
QUICK SINGLE
Trio suspended by Cricket Australia
Paine acted as interim captain on the fourth and final day of the third Test at Newlands after Smith stood down from the leadership before the start of play.
Smith was suspended for one match by the International Cricket Council for "conduct contrary to the spirit of the game" and has been sent home by Cricket Australia alongside David Warner and Cameron Bancroft, leaving Paine to pick up the pieces as Australia attempt to maintain their unbeaten post-Apartheid record in South Africa when the fourth Test begins in Johannesburg on Friday.
Players past and present react to tampering saga
Paine is Tasmania's second Test captain after Ricky Ponting, the first from Hobart, and the first wicketkeeper to take on the role since Adam Gilchrist filled in for Steve Waugh and Ponting on six occasions between 2000 and 2004.
Pride has not been a word remotely associated with Australian Test cricket in recent days but Paine's remarkable elevation to the Test captaincy has drawn a quiet sense of fulfilment for many in Tasmanian cricket.
Three new faces in Aussie Test squad
While none hoped for or foresaw the set of circumstances that saw Paine lead a shell-shocked team on the final day at Newlands, the fact he was doing it at all was an acknowledgment of his understated role since his sensational recall.
Tigers coach Adam Griffith, who incredibly had to help convince Paine to remain in Tasmania at the start of the summer rather than taking up a job offer in Melbourne, endorsed the wicketkeeper as a worthy skipper.
"He'd be a good captain," said Griffith, who oversaw a dramatic turnaround for Tasmania – from sixth to runners-up – in this year's JLT Sheffield Shield.
"He's very forthright, he's very good tactically, which for me is one of the most important things to win games of cricket.
'Desperation' behind Aussie actions: Gibson
"He's also a really good communicator. If he was to get the job he'd do a fantastic job."
Paine apologised to cricket fans following Australia's 322-run third-Test defeat in Cape Town, admitting it was "strange" to find himself making the calls on the game's final day.
"It's been a horrible 24 hours … the reality and the enormity of what's happened is starting to sink in," said the 33-year-old.
"I don't think we all would have expected this to be as big as it has been and particularly the fallout that we have seen from back home.
Bizarre, strange, horrible 24 hours: Paine
"The one positive that may come of it is guys are going to get an opportunity to play for their country.
"The whole opportunity for us going forward now is something we can learn from and something we can try to control (is) how we are seen going forward by our Australian public, and become the team that we want to become and they want us to be seen as."
Griffith also touched on the litany of finger injuries Paine suffered before embedding himself as Australia's wicketkeeper in all three formats of the game.
The gloveman first damaged his right index finger during an exhibition game in 2010 at the age of 25, having made his Test debut only months earlier – ironically alongside Smith – and suffered a series of setbacks in the ensuing years that put him on the brink of retirement.

"At the start of the season he was thinking about giving it away," Griffith added. "That's been an unbelievable move (to stay) for him. He's now playing all three formats at international level.
"I'm really pleased for him because he's done a lot of hard work to get there. The history has been well documented with his fingers – he was on the verge of perhaps being that (Australia) 'keeper for 10 years anyway.
"I'm just really proud of him and the work he's done and that he's back into that team and doing really well.
"He's not just in that team, he's performing really, really well."
Surreal 24 hours for departing Renshaw
Paine's ascendancy to the captaincy completes a remarkable tale; his recall for the first Test of the summer's Ashes series was considered one of the more astonishing selections in recent Australian cricket history, given his lack of form at first-class level and the fact that he was not even considered first-choice wicketkeeper in the Tigers' Shield squad.
"I couldn't get a run," Paine reflected earlier this month. "I think I just had some mental demons, really. I came back from a finger injury probably thinking that it was going to be a bit easier than it was.
"And then when it didn't happen I probably started to panic a little bit, to be honest. Cricket is a massive confidence game and I just completely lost my confidence.
"I couldn't score a run in club cricket three years ago."
The best of Tim Paine's Ashes glovework
As he has consistently done since his recall to the Test XI, Paine stood tall at Newlands with the bat while the team collapsed around him, finishing unbeaten in both innings (making 34no and 9no) and enhancing his leadership credentials in the process.
And while Paine has emerged as a natural leader within the group, his performances in his dual disciplines were identified by former wicketkeeper turned fielding coach Brad Haddin as being as impressive as ever in the build-up to the third Test.
"I think his keeping has gotten better since the Ashes," Haddin said last week. "I think the dismissal he got up to the stumps off Mitchell Marsh (at a vital stage of the first Test at Durban) was as hard as you get.
Waugh 'deeply troubled' by saga
"That just goes to the work he's done, and he's been faultless behind the stumps, I think.
"He's also our link between the middle (order) and the tail, and he's really changed the momentum of the game.
"He understands how to play with the tail, whether he needs to push the game forward or shelter the tail a little bit.
"So from his batting point of view as well, and that was brought up before he was picked (for the Magellan Ashes series), he's really understood his role and made a difference there."

Full Brushwood with Chain Mail as chest.
The build mainly focuses on maximizing damage in the Knight Sword with what can be a devastating Great Axe.
Notice that the build is for 2 handed wielders only.
These stats give the knight sword a 502 damage enchanted. Well enough to break someones second chance or kill them with the right combo. The great axe comes to 637 enchanted. Making it a great knockout weapon or blue phantom destroyer.
I mainly use this build for invading and red eye dropping, cause of its versatility. There is really no other build out there you cant compete with. Some weapons might have an advantage over the knight sword but not the great axe also.
In an invasion your best friend is the great axe. When faced with a host with one maybe two blue phantoms first objective is to take out the weakest blue. Which is the great axes specialty. Landing a couple rolling attacks is a good way to loosen things up. I find myself taking out most blue phantoms in 2 to 3 hits which will leave the host stunned. Never take your knight sword out when faced with three enemies, you will get back stabbed in the middle of every combo attempt.
Note taking on three at one time is not very hard, taking advantage of the levels environment is highly recommended. This means running past them in the level and teaming with there unfinished enemies, drawing them into narrow corridors or just running back and forth through the level until you single one out.
When taking on two at once i do find myself successfully pulling of a knight sword finish but you need to be careful. First never give up your back, if there both in front of you that's good. Pull off a couple running attacks or a short combo and retreat. If you find yourself wounding but not finishing try quickly pulling out the great axe for the KO blow (still has 394 attack unenchanted).
Now the 1 v 1 part of the invasion. First know your opponents weapon and have the experience to know which one you will then use. Some opposing weapons can go either way thou. In that case i like to find out its strength and the users skill then decide which weapon to first enchant.

Plagues of Egypt Videoslot Review
Although gruesome, this Plagues of Egypt slot game has jackpots, a re-spin feature and a wild icon that help make it rather rewarding at the same time!
Plagues of Egypt Slot Theme
Players will be taken to a backdrop of Egypt when they play this Plagues of Egypt online video slot game from Fugaso, with things looking a little daunting for those Las Vegas Casino bettors who decide to give it a spin.
The game features some exceptional imagery and animations, with Moses being visible to the side of the playing grid, however, there are some rather concerning symbols that are available on the paytable. But, a huge pro about this is that they represent the awful plagues that have impacted the region.
The icons available include things such as water that has been turned into blood, lots of frogs, flies, biting insects, animal diseases, skin boils, bolts of fire striking down, swarms of locusts, a symbol to represent the turning of day to night for 3 days, and the death of their firstborn child.
The Pharaoh also appears, whilst the game's wild icon is represented by a pyramid that features the word 'Wild' on it.
Videoslot Gameplay
This Plagues of Egypt online video slot game will provide players with a playing grid that consists of 5 reels and 4 rows, as well as a total of 40 fixed paylines.
There are a number of different customisable options available for players to be able to enhance their overall gameplay experience, though, such as utilising the 'autoplay' feature or by being able to place the 'maximum bet' in an instant.
Plagues of Egypt Bonus Features
This Plagues of Egypt online slot game has a number of different bonus features that are available to be triggered, with each of them providing players with the potential to increase their winnings in a seriously good way.
The first of the Plagues of Egypt bonuses available is via the game's wild icon. The pyramid symbol has the power to be able to substitute for all regular icons that are available on the paytable and help to complete any possible winning combinations that may be formed. It should be noted, though, that this icon can only appear on reels 2 and 4; nonetheless, it can still be rather rewarding when it lands!
Another great Plagues of Egypt bonus available to Las Vegas Casino players who spin the reels of this game is the 'Re-Spin' feature that can be triggered.
This feature will be triggered on each winning spin and will provide players with the opportunity to win further rewards as the winning icons will be locked in place whilst the other icons will be respun!
There are 3 progressive jackpots that can also be won when playing this game!
Plagues of Egypt Slot Game RTP
A minimum bet of €/£/$0.40 is required in order to play this Plagues of Egypt online video slot game, whilst Fugaso has provided bettors with the chance to place a maximum bet of €/£/$20 on each spin taken.
The return to player (RTP) rate for this game stands at 95.8%, whilst the volatility level is of a medium rate.
Plagues of Egypt Videoslot Verdict by Las Vegas Casino
Although the plagues that hit the region were rather devastating, Las Vegas Casino players will find that they can be rather rewarding for them when they achieve a successful spin.
The respin feature is arguably one of the best bonuses this game has as it means bigger wins can potentially be provided, although the 3 progressive jackpots on offer isn't a bad thing, either!

And I love to make vinaigrettes in a jar because there is no need to worry about whisking the oil in drop by drop.

Swiss psychologist Carl Jung (1875 - 1961) was a leader in the study of visualization and the unconscious. Jung was a colleague of Sigmund Freud, and was fascinated by elements of Tibetan Buddhism. These influences led him to believe in a "collective unconscious" shared by all humans.i According to an online "Mystical Experience Registry," Jung "cultivated the ability to have visions from deep imagination."ii While recovering from a heart attack, Jung had several visions, which have been recorded in a book titled Memories, Dreams, Reflections.
Elijah and Salome
New Age Psychologist Carl Jung. Watch our ADtv video on The New Age Agenda....
In one experience, he uses visualization to descend into his imagination, where he finds a "cosmic abyss." According to Memories, Dreams, Reflections, "he sees something like a moon crater and then he has the feeling that he is in the land of the dead. Near the steep slope of a rock he catches the sight of two people, one an old man and the other, a beautiful young girl...The old man turns out to be the biblical figure Elijah and the girl, Salome. 'What a strange couple,' he muses. But Elijah tells Jung that he and Salome belong together for all eternity. Along with the two is a third, a large black snake. Jung sticks close to Elijah and keeps his distance from Salome."iii
In a later fantasy, "he then sees Elijah on a rocky ridge, a ring of boulders, which he interprets as a 'Druidic sacred place.' Inside, the old man climbs up on a mounded Druidic altar, and then both Elijah and the altar begin to shrink in size while the walls get larger. He sees a tiny woman, 'like a doll,' who turns out to be Salome. A miniature snake and a house are also seen. Jung then realizes, as the walls keep growing, 'I was in the underworld.' When they reach bottom Elijah smiled at him and says, 'Why, it is just the same, above or below.'"iv
Throughout Jung's visions and teachings, one key element is the fusion of white and black, good and evil, yin and yang. Salome, the daughter of Herodias in the Bible, is portrayed as the epitome of evil. The prophet Elijah, on the other hand, is seen as good. But in Jung's visions, we see that the two characters "had been together since eternity."v These are occult Masonic philosophies.
One Jungian thinker says this:
Jung elicited the principles of Logos (yang, masculine, foresight, legislation, ordering, willful) and Eros (yin, feminine, receptive, related, moving, dissolving) out of his visionary meeting with Elijah and Salome.vi
Philemon and Ka
Jung continues to talk to Elijah in his vision. Elijah eventually changes into another elderly man, Philemon:
Philemon teaches Jung about the nature of human consciousness. Jung begins to see how autonomous inner figures can act. It is the inner figure that seems to hold this knowledge, not Jung (p.183). Again, Jung's inner figure changes. This time it alters to take on the form of the Egyptian notion of spirit, Ka.vii
The Egyptian concept of ka distinguished a live person from a dead one. According to Egyptian mythology, the goddess of childbirth created everyone's ka. She would breathe it into each child as they were born.
However, the ka concept is more complicated than our notion of breath, soul, or spirit. Ka represented a sustained life power, something supernatural inside humans that provided youthfulness and even reproductive potency. According to Alan Winston, ka was related to almost every element of Egyptian life:
The ka could be thought by the ancient Egyptians to designate individual human traits such as character, nature, temperament or disposition. And since one's character has so much to do with one's life, ka could also refer to destiny or providence. Yet, considering the ka as a kind of universal vital force is too abstract.viii
Philemon, Jung's "spirit guide," was in fact a demon in disguise. Jung was being led into darkness—not truth—during his subconscious explorations. Jung writes that Philemon was an external force that had power over his mind:
Philemon represented a force which was not myself...it was he who taught me psychic objectivity, the reality of the psyche...there is something in me which can say things that I do not know and do not intend.ix
Jungian Teachings Today
In 2008, Dr. Anthony Moore of Georgetown University offered a workshop called "Carl Jung and the Spiritual Exercises of Ignatius Loyola." Moore's teachings are great example of just how deeply mysticism and the occult are embedded into Catholic culture:
[The workshop] will begin with an overview of the structure of the psyche according to Jung. The Jungian framework will then be applied to the Spiritual Exercises. Some of the themes covered will be: the archetypal imagery in Ignatius' account of his conversion experience at Loyola; discernment of spirits and the movement of the Self toward wholeness; the Principle and Foundation and the desires of the authentic Self; connecting to unconscious psychic energy and hearing the Call of the King; the practice of Jungian active imagination and Ignatian contemplation (emphasis added).x
This workshop is another example of how true faith is being squeezed out of Christianity. Instead of trusting God at His Word, we are being called to trust experiences such as "connecting to unconscious psychic energy." These mystical attempts at spirituality will never help us grow in a right relationship with God. Read more about visualization and hypnosis

The National Football League is not for the faint of heart. A 16-game season is filled with violent, bone-jarring collisions that can leave players in a lot of pain. The grind of preparing and producing every single week can be mentally draining. The perfect remedy for players is often the sight of their children who visit them at training camp, practice, before and after games. The bond they share can warm their heart and soothe most of their aches and pain. It's one thing to be an NFL player, it's quite another to be an NFL Dad. The average career only lasts about three-and-a-half years, but being a father is forever. The pictures above are ones that capture the emotion, human spirit, and the unbreakable bond between NFL Dad and their kids.
