Running Smart in the Cold Winter Months: A Guide for Runners from Orthopedic Experts
The cold weather is back here in beautiful Charlotte, NC. These cold fronts not only bring with them cold weather, but also brings on new challenges when it comes to running. These challenges include finding the motivation to consistently show up to maintain the habit and keeping weather related injuries at bay during this season.
In this article, courtesy of OrthoCarolina physical therapist Chris Hux, you’ll find cold weather specific warm up, running tips, exercises, and stretches to help you not only stay consistent, but also reduce your risk of injury during the winter months:
Try this Warm Up for Cold Weather Running
This is a crucial first step to make sure you warm up properly and prepare your muscles for the overuse & demanding motion of running. Frequently we see patients skipping this step and eventually ending up with an injury that keeps them out of running for months. This is especially true of patients that work a sedentary desk job and go outside to start pounding the pavement right away without warming up. We obviously don’t want you to find yourself with an injury keeping you from doing what you love. The following warmup won’t take you anymore then 10-15 minutes and you will get so many benefits from it.
Begin with a fast-paced arm pumping walk for 5-10 minutes to warm up the muscles.
Then perform dynamic stretches such as butt kicks, knee ups or marches, leg kicks and side to side shuffles. (Complete each one for 1-2 laps.)
Best practices for the running weekend warrior includes running, of course, but also includes mobility, strength, & endurance programming as well. I recommend people to run three times a week so you can save energy and days to complete mobility, strength and cross training. Here's some specific exercises that you can do on your non running days to improve mobility, strength & stability:
Running Exercises to improve your running & reduce risk of injury
The muscles you want to address to improve your running, mechanics and speed are the quads, hip abductors, glutes, calves and small muscles in your foot. Recommending 2-3 sets of 10-15 reps of each on your off days (non-running days). Here are some examples:
(exercises from the video appear again below in picture form)
Hip Abductors (Side glute muscles) Exercises
Side Lying Clamshell (Start without a band and progress to a band)
Lateral band walk
Gluteus maximus exercises
Dead lift (Progress to weight)
Long Arc Quad
Foot strengthening Exercises
Toe & Foot yoga
Other risk factors I would highly recommend focusing on is having good and consistent sleep, diet and training errors.
Here are some specific tips for you to try:
Sleeping & waking up at the same time, aiming for 7-9 hours of sleep per night.
Staying hydrated & eating a variety of healthy foods with different colors (fruits & veggies).
Gradual increase in mileage week over week. A great rule of thumb is the “10% rule”, which – you guessed it – recommends increasing your mileage each week by only 10%.
If you have any other specific questions or concerns please reach out to a Physical Therapist at OrthoCarolina. Physical Therapists are key providers for runners for injury prevention & rehab.
Stay safe out there pounding the pavement during these cold winter months!

RENO — With expectations as high as they’ve ever been, UNR coach Chris Ault figures to have a pretty good idea how good this year’s Wolf Pack team could be by the time it finally plays its first home game the fourth week of the season.
Picked by the league’s coaches to finish second to Boise State in the Western Athletic Conference, Nevada has seven starters back on offense, led by junior quarterback Colin Kaepernick and junior running back Vai Taua.
Kaepernick is the WAC’s preseason pick for offensive player of the year. Last season, he became only the fifth player in NCAA history to pass for more than 1,000 yards and run for more than 2,000 yards. Taua ran for 1,512 yards last season.
The Wolf Pack opens the season Saturday with arguably the biggest game in school history at Notre Dame, in a nationally televised contest. UNR has a bye after facing the Irish, then plays at Colorado State before hosting Missouri on Sept. 25 on ESPN.
“I expect us to be a good football team,” said Ault, the school’s winningest coach, who enters his 25th season with a record of 198-91-1. “The tests will come early. Those first four weeks will dictate the character of this football team.”
Junior ends Dontay Moch and Kevin Basped are among the eight starters back on a defense Ault says must play better if the Wolf Pack is to live up to its billing as the biggest threat to dethrone the defending champion Broncos.
The two ends combined for 21.5 sacks as sophomores, but UNR’s pass defense ranked last out of 119 schools.
“We were a poor defense last year, and we have a lot of room for improvement. We just haven’t had the right chemistry on defense,” Ault said. “My priority as head coach this season is to put a personality on this defense.”
Ault said the defense should follow Kaepernick’s example on offense.
“He’s not afraid to go up to anybody on this football team, including the kicker, and get in their grill. We need that on defense, too,” he said.
Said Moch, a second-team all-WAC pick a year ago: “Last year is in the past. It’s all about the future now.”
Basped, a first-team all-WAC selection last season, said the defense has to “be a lot tougher.”
“We can’t have any mental breakdowns. When something bad happens, we can’t play the blame game,” he said.
Kaepernick and Taua said high expectations are warranted.
“This is the best talent we’ve had since I’ve been here,” said Taua, who scored 18 touchdowns and averaged 118 yards rushing per game as an all-WAC first-teamer a year ago. “Our chemistry is great. This summer, we all played flag football together, so we’ve already worked on our chemistry.”
“The sky is the limit for this team,” added Kaepernick. “We’re not going to Notre Dame just to be competitive and keep it close. We’re going there to win.”

By Emily Stephenson
WASHINGTON, Dec 19 (Reuters) - U.S. officials on Thursday ordered the largest nonbank mortgage servicer to provide $2 billion in help to underwater borrowers to resolve allegations of misconduct that led to thousands of people losing their homes.
Ocwen Financial Corp must reduce loan balances for struggling homeowners and refund $125 million to foreclosed borrowers under an agreement with the U.S. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and officials from 49 states and the District of Columbia.
Ocwen failed to account for borrowers' payments, gave false reasons for denying loan modifications and robo-signed legal documents, the consumer bureau said.
In many cases, after Ocwen began servicing loans, it did not respect trial modifications that had already been agreed to by the lenders, consumer bureau Director Richard Cordray said.
"After examining the potential violations, we've concluded that Ocwen made troubled borrowers even more vulnerable to foreclosure," Cordray said in a conference call with reporters.
Ocwen separately disclosed the agreement on Thursday and said it had already set aside funds to cover all but about $500,000 of the required refund payments.
"The agreement, which is subject to court approval, is in alignment with the same ultimate goals that we share with the regulators - to prevent foreclosures and help struggling families keep their homes," Ocwen said in a statement.
The firm did not admit to the allegations, according to court documents.
Mortgage servicers include banks and nonbank firms that collect borrowers' payments, communicate with them about modifying loans in distress and handle foreclosure processes.
The consumer bureau, which was created by the 2010 Dodd-Frank law, has written tough new rules for the industry that take effect in January. Cordray said that, under those rules, Ocwen would have had even more servicing violations.
Regulators found widespread abuses by servicers in the years after the 2007-2009 financial crisis, when foreclosures spiked. Several big banks, including Bank of America and Citigroup, settled with officials and agreed to tougher consumer protection requirements.
Ocwen, Nationstar Mortgage Holdings and other nonbank servicers grew rapidly in the years after the crisis, prompting concerns from some in the mortgage industry that borrower abuses might also migrate.
Ocwen, which specializes in handling subprime and delinquent loans, is now the fourth-largest mortgage servicer in the United States.
It bought servicing rights from Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs and Ally Bank, which was part of the national settlement in 2012.
Some of its portfolio, including the portion purchased from Ally, fell under the requirements of the 2012 settlement, which covered about half of the servicing market. The new agreement covers the rest of Ocwen's loan portfolio, Cordray said.
Under the agreement, Ocwen will have to wait 60 days after acquiring a loan before any foreclosure proceedings can begin. The agreement limits the fees Ocwen can charge and forces the company to tell distressed borrowers about options to avoid foreclosure, the consumer bureau said.
Cordray said Ocwen's compliance with the new agreement will be overseen by the same person who monitors the 2012 settlement, former North Carolina bank regulator Joseph Smith Jr.

From the Farrell Field Park Conservancy:
January 11, 2021
Dear Village Green Editors,
South Orange has not had a comprehensive Master Plan update since 1979, so it is critical that we work together this week to help finalize a new Master Plan that addresses one of FFPC’s core missions: preservation of Open Space. “The Master Plan is a governing document that articulates a community’s vision for its future and establishes a framework of policies to enact it.” (SOMP, p. 10).
Prior to the onset of the pandemic, the Conservancy worked with the Village and their consultant, Topology, to give input on the Open Space element of the Village Master Plan. The resulting Draft Master Plan is now available to the community for vetting and input. You can find a copy of this draft Master Plan and sign up for the Zoom sessions at: https://somasterplan.com
The current draft includes positive strategies to increase our Township’s Open Space Inventory (pages 233-234). While we agree with their strategies, there are some additions in language that we want to advocate for, particularly related to the area that borders the East branch of the Rahway River, south of Third Street, extending up to the border of Maplewood near Farrell Field Park.
The Village has scheduled three public workshops via Zoom which will provide an overview of the various Master Plan elements and will begin at 7:00 p.m. each night. The schedule is:
Tuesday January 12: Introduction, Land Use
Wednesday, January 13: Mobility
Thursday, January 14: Historic Preservation, Quality of Life.
We encourage everyone to attend these sessions, especially Thursday, January 14th, where they will cover Open Space as part of the “Quality of Life” element.
Hope to see you there! Please let us know if you have any questions.
The Farrell Field Park Conservancy

It used to be the Congestion Charge Western Extension Zone (WEZ), but now it's the Western Congestion Zone, after Boris's abolition of the charge in this area. "Business starts to boom after C-Charge zone axe", is the Standard headline. Traffic is up 8%, and small businesses report increased takings. Boris said: "I am glad I gave the people a say and thrilled that the initial results suggest there has been no significant downside in removing the zone".
No significant downside to increased traffic? Maybe its because no-one's measured the downsides yet. I bet Boris Johnson's neighbours wouldn't thank him if he increased traffic levels in his street. That's in part because they paid good money for their homes and don't want local house values being dragged down by increased traffic volumes. Anyone who has their journey disrupted by increased or more frequent congestion is experiencing a "downside". Increased congestion will also mean increased rat-running, and a less pleasant environment for the residents of the "rat-run" streets and a less pleasant environment for walking and cycling.
The Standard's assertion that "business is up" is not based on anything more scientific than hearsay. Maybe it's only a few business owners who've felt a boost. Maybe the change is due to general economic factors rather than the congestion charge abolition. Maybe the boost to businesses in the zone has been offset by a decline in sales outside the zone, as drivers change their shopping habits but not their overall spend.
I'm not convinced that the WEZ was without its problems, but I'm a lot less convinced that increasing traffic is a good thing.

The anime adaptation of the original manga GameStop: Fly Me to the Moon officially debuted this week to much online fanfare. The unique series is based around an amateur investor and his encounter with a video game retailer’s stock that suddenly explodes in value.
The story follows Nasa Yuzaki, a young investor new to the stock market. One day while checking his Robinhood account on his phone as he crosses the street, Nasa is hit by an oncoming truck. Thrown into a several month long coma, Nasa later awakes to find that the world has been hit with a disastrous pandemic that has crippled the global economy. Having lost his job and discovering that his savings has nearly been decimated, Nasa finds himself in a dire financial situation. Just as he is about to lose hope, Nasa sees a comment posted on a message board. “GME to the moon!!” the comment reads followed by several rocket ship emojis. Figuring there is little left for him to lose, Nasa decides to invest his entire remaining cash balance into the stock unaware that the decision will soon dramatically affect his life from that point onward.
The anime is primarily a slice of life romance focusing on the relationship between a young man and his one true love, money. Readers of the original manga have described the series as a very sweet and tender story, likely referring to the main protagonist’s fondness for chicken tenders with barbecue sauce.
While mostly heartwarming, GameStop: Fly Me to the Moon is not without its ups and down. Hedge fund managers, losing money on shorting the stock, soon attempt to manipulate the market to drive the share price down and prevent individual investors from seeing positive returns. Nasa’s commitment is put to the test as he continues to hold his GameStop shares despite the stock becoming more and more volatile.
Due to the initial popularity of the series, financial experts have advised viewers to exercise caution when dealing with their own investments and not to make risky trades based on popular trends. Fans reportedly began buying large amounts of AMC, BlackBerry, and Nokia stock shortly thereafter.

Polling on the deficit: Why question order matters
Polling organizations devote a great deal of attention to the wording of survey questions, but they need to be just as concerned about how questions are ordered.

For North and South Korea to come together in partnership or as one nation will require a shared vision acceptable to both societies. Prioritizing harmony and proximity in personal and organizational relationships across society and the economy can provide a framework that is in keeping with Korea’s social traditions, as well as with biblical social design. A “Track Two” process for building consensus based on a relational framework through a program of consultations contributed to ending apartheid in South Africa and ending civil war in Sudan. Such an approach could now be applied in the Korean Peninsula.
Whatever happens in the immediate future, if North and South Korea are ever to come together again as one nation, they will need a shared ideological framework and a roadmap to restore harmony between the families and communities that have been divided for so long. Hence there is a need to explore a shared vision that would be acceptable to both North and South Korean societies. In what follows, we argue for a relational understanding of both individual well-being and public policy. This approach has strong resonance with the cultural and political history of the Korean Peninsula, with its deep roots in Confucian teaching, and more recently with the influence of the Christian worldview.
Given the current state of inter-Korean relations, the immediate goal is to reduce tensions and misunderstandings through opening constructive dialogue. It is to be hoped that this step may move on to agreement on a range of issues on which both the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) and the Republic of Korea (ROK) may agree to cooperate; joint initiatives will help to increase trust.
Much will depend, of course, on what the major powers with an interest in the region decide to do in the months and years ahead. There can be little doubt, however, that unity of understanding and purpose among all those living on the Korean Peninsula will serve the interests of long-term peace and social harmony, which is the primary goal of any peacebuilding process, beyond the mere securing of an end to the fear of war.
This article will outline a confidence-building approach as a contribution to the resolution of the long-running conflict between North and South Korea. It is envisaged that this initiative will take place over several years through an NGO-sponsored series of consultations covering many sectors of public life. The team at Relational Peacebuilding Initiatives (RPI) used a similar “Track Two” methodology in the period leading up to the end of white rule in South Africa and also to help to resolve conflict between North and South Sudan in the period leading up to the 2005 Naivasha Agreement.
The starting point: Identifying new foundations
Our starting point in identifying new foundations is the potential of a relational approach to both the framework of public policy in the Korean Peninsula and the process by which this framework is considered and refined. The relational approach described here has wide appeal to those of all religions who recognize that relationships are key not only to people’s personal identity but to the building of peace between nations and ethnic groups. Arguably, this approach is likely to have particular appeal to Koreans, given the importance of relational perspectives and priorities in traditional Korean culture. As will be shown below, we believe that starting with this relational foundation and framework creates the opportunity to define a new set of institutions that have their roots in biblical revelation but that can be shown to have a rationale that is a logical outcome of its relational starting point.
Christians recognize that their faith is profoundly relational. They believe in God as a Trinity of persons in eternal relationship with one another, and they affirm that relationships are basic to the character of the universe in general and to human beings in particular. Righteousness, sin, and covenant are all relational terms. The purpose of the incarnation was for God to relate directly with human beings, so Jesus was given the name “Immanuel” (God with us). Jesus’s life was that of a perfect relational person; he redefined poverty, for example, as primarily a relational rather than a financial concern (e.g., see Luke 4:18, along with Luke 5:27-32). The purpose of his death on the cross, the central event in Christian history, together with the resurrection, is described in both the Old and the New Testaments in the language of forgiveness and reconciliation; it is about the restoration of broken relationships. Jesus says that all Old Testament law and the prophets are summarized by the two great commandments to love God and to love one’s neighbor; love is a quality of relationship, not a description of power or wealth.
God is concerned for just relationships and social harmony, not only between individuals but between cities and nations. Resentment and hostility, resulting from history or from actions today, are the antithesis of love. Christ warns that every kingdom divided against itself will be ruined. The consequences of such antagonism are likely to include physical, financial, and emotional hardship, and ultimately violence. However, when peacemakers sow seeds of peace, they harvest righteousness (James 3:18)
Jesus calls peacemakers blessed (Matt. 5:9). Reconciliation between nations, ethnic groups, and individuals is rooted in Christ’s work on the cross. More generally, Christians are called to seek and pray for the harmony (shalom) of nations (see Jer. 29:7). So, what initiatives might Christians take to build trust between North and South Korea, and between the two Koreas and their powerful neighbors and allies? Surely peace and strong, healthy relationships must be central goals of the Christian agenda, given that relationships are so important in God’s eyes.
Preconditions for rebuilding relationships of trust
To analyze trust, or distrust, in the context of public life requires fresh categories and language. Relationships, like clouds, are hard to define and measure. Biblical language speaks much about how close or far people are from God, that is, the degree of relational distance, the converse of which is relational proximity. What can Christians propose to political leaders to reduce relational distance, and how can they constructively help to resolve tensions and build trust between those holding opposite viewpoints?
Three main components of trust are mutual understanding, perceived fairness, and shared goals and values:
1. Mutual understanding can be developed best through face-to-face dialogue; communication is far richer when the parties are in the same room. Trust also requires sustained contact, or continuity, with those who hold the opposite point of view so as to understand the rationale of the other side’s position. Trust is strengthened by not assuming the worst of the other’s intentions (see 1 Cor. 13:7).
2. Perceived fairness—mutual respect, or “parity”—requires recognition that all are made in the image of God, a commitment to fairness in the distribution of risk and reward, and fairness in the process of discussion or negotiation.
3. Shared goals and values involve a joint commitment to mutually beneficial outcomes. They are often a key factor in the search for peace and can require leaders to agree to both the underlying principles at stake and how these impact their constituencies. In the context of the Korean conflict, shared goals and values need to arise from an alternative ideology and societal model that stands apart from the individualism that lies at the heart of capitalism, and from the collectivism of Communism. Relational thinking, or “Relationism,” with its starting point in relationships rather than in either the individual or the collective as the respective starting points, provides an alternative.
This understanding of the main components of trust, together with the institutional norms described below, mean that a normative element is introduced into discussion of relationships.
The relational approach to peacebuilding
Peacebuilding can take place along several different “tracks.” For this discussion these tracks will be distinguished from one another, but they are not mutually exclusive; they can involve many of the same participants and can reinforce one another. For them to be most effective, however, it is important that they be clearly distinguished.
Track One concerns the formal negotiation process and directly involves those in positions of top leadership or those who bear a brief on their behalf, as well as any other official actors, whether states or intergovernmental organizations. Prior to the formal negotiation process there may be a more informal, often secret, prenegotiation phase (often called Track One and a Half). Typically, Track One addresses the immediate steps required to be put into place for a peace settlement, as well as the substance of the constitutional and other arrangements that need to be put in place as agreed by all the parties, both domestic and international.
Track Two concerns intermediate-level facilitation, operates on a low-profile basis, and is conducted among persons in positions of significant responsibility. These participants need to have influence that reaches both to the high-level policy-makers and to the grass roots. Typically, Track Two initiatives are wide-ranging in their coverage and middle-distance in their focus; that is, they cover the spectrum of national politics and concern the range of possible futures, not holding fast to any particular constitutional model or to any specific social or economic outcomes. They aim to build trust to secure a sustainable basis for the common good. Track Two initiatives do not seek to achieve an immediate resolution of the conflict (as in Track One), but rather to create a shared vision for the future.
Track Three processes tend to have a local or issue-specific focus. Because they are carried out at a communal level, the secrecy of Track One and the confidentiality of Track Two are difficult to sustain. They tend to take the form of dialogue rather than that of the mediated negotiation of Track One or the facilitated consultation process of Track Two.
Experience in South Africa and Sudan
The RPI team now working to build peace in the Korean Peninsula previously worked to create peace in South Africa in the period leading up to the end of apartheid (i.e., 1987–94). Although confidential at the time, the process in South Africa was well documented, and its significance has subsequently begun to be recognized.
The second arena of RPI work was in Rwanda from 1994 to 1999, following the genocide there. RPI’s third peacebuilding initiative, from 1999 to 2004, involved a series of consultations between the major political parties, ethnic groups, and regions in North and South Sudan.
In both South Africa and Sudan, the process was similar. There were a series of consultations as part of a Track Two process that built up confidence across the divides and so helped to undergird the initially secret Track One process, which led onto formal negotiations. These consultations also helped to provide a framework for the various Track Three processes that were undertaken later.
The key features of the consultation process employed in both South Africa (between the ANC, the white establishment, and the Zulu-based Inkatha Freedom Party) and in Sudan (among the various national, regional, and ethnic groups) may be described as follows:
1. The consultations were not a negotiation but an exploration and creation of a possible shared vision for the parties to the conflict. The participants were thus not official representatives but attended in their personal capacity.
2. In both the South Africa and Sudan peacebuilding processes, the ten or so consultations covered economic, social, and political issues and took place over several years.
3. In addition to the participants from the country concerned, the consultations were attended by international interlocutors, not as formal representatives but as informal channels to the key international actors.
4. For each different topic, subject experts (whether academics, professionals, or from within government departments) attended in their personal capacities, and from the international community. Papers were commissioned by the convening organization’s Secretariat to address key issues identified by the participants and international interlocutors to help the parties move toward consensus.
Capitalism and socialism and a new relational society/economy model
The biblical foundation for proposing a model for both society and the economy is to understand biblical law as a social paradigm, as argued by Christopher Wright. The approach is developed and expanded in two important books: Jubilee Manifesto and God, Justice, and Society. We can understand biblical law, whatever its origins, as an alternative legal solution to the ideas of Greece, Rome, and other traditions, for the great issues of political economy. Arguably, biblical law may be regarded as the design of a relational God for a relational society and a relational economy—provided by God to his people as they move into the promised land to establish themselves for the first time as a political entity.
The study of the biblical paradigms, within a relational framework as set out above, points to a society that is very different from those created by either capitalism or socialism. Five of the key differences may be highlighted as follows:
Government. It is vital that distant government institutions do not take over too many of the functions that can be carried out at a more local level. These local responsibilities include creation of employment opportunities, provision of housing, education and health care, and resolving disputes that occur within the community. At the same time, the head of state, with other central institutions, is a focus of unity for the nation as a whole.
Time priorities. It is not possible to develop committed and long-term relationships between individuals within families and communities unless priority is given to investment of time in those relationships and, in a God-fearing community, with God himself. The Sabbath enables everyone to be able to spend time together on one day each week.
Family and roots. In the biblical social paradigms, family is not defined as the nuclear family, or household, as in Western social thinking, but as an extended family that stretches across generations. This biblical understanding, which is closer to a traditional Korean understanding of family, has marriage at its heart. This larger social unit provides a more effective welfare group than the household to support vulnerable individuals, and it typically can provide better care for the elderly when they are no longer able to look after themselves. Giving extended family an economic role is vital to its cohesion in the long term.
Finance. The lack of necessary contact between the providers and users of capital in a modern society, whether in the context of debt or through institutions of the modern corporation and capital markets, creates relational distance. Money, however, should act as a form of social glue, helping people get to know one another across the many kinds of relations present in society.
Property. An essential feature of a “fair society” in biblical thinking is that every household, as part of an extended family, owns a home and, where possible, has access to a piece of land on which it can grow crops for home consumption and even for sale. The biblical economic model anticipates free trade in goods and services (capital, labor. and land) but aims to constrain inequalities of income and wealth through laws governing use of capital and ownership of property
Toward a relational Korean Peninsula
Relational thinking has an impact across many areas of social, political, and economic life. It might be applied to the Korean context in the following areas:
1. The goal and meaning of development as not being exclusively about economic growth but also about the quality of relationships at the level of families and communities, and across society.
2. The definition of poverty not just as a financial state but also as a relational condition, so that society strives to ensure that people are not marginalized, excluded, or lonely.
3. Human rights redefined in relational terms, so that the impact of decisions based on these rights considers all parties to the relationships affected by the granting or application of a human right.
4. Personal identity not defined by reference only to how individuals view themselves but in the context of their relationships to their families and communities.
5. Companies to have not just a financial goal, maximizing returns to those who provide capital, but also a social purpose so that they are seen to serve the public good. Also, companies are obliged to assess annually the quality of relationships with their stakeholders, including their employees, and have a dialogue with them that is reported as part of their annual report and accounts.
6. Schools no longer based on competitive individualism, where each student is trying to outperform the others, but rather based on a vision of a relational society where cooperation is rewarded and where relational skills, not just technical skills, are measured.
7. Finance organized to build relationships between providers and users of capital by ensuring contact between them after the initial transfer of funds, and a shared interest in how successfully the funds are applied for the achievement of both relational and economic ends.
8. Health care to have an emphasis on prevention through public health initiatives, as well as the use of modern medicine to help heal those who are sick, and the reintegration of health care into care for the whole person within a family and community context.
9. Economic growth strategy to avoid borrowing by governments, companies, and individuals to ensure absence of long-term constraints on the economy’s performance. This strategy requires (1) a shared-equity approach to home ownership, (2) commitment to enabling families and communities to provide social care so that these responsibilities fall as little as possible on the state, and (3) new ways to involve shareholders in the companies that they help to fund.
Relevance of the relational society/relational economy model to Korea
Korea has suffered conflict as the result of great power rivalry across the peninsula throughout its history, but especially in the twentieth century. The current conflict on the peninsula remains unresolved and indeed threatens to be the source of a new international conflagration, with the possibility of destruction on a scale to match or even exceed the worst horrors of the twentieth century, with enormous cost to its neighbors, as well as to the wider international community.
Despite many families having members on both sides of the 38th Parallel, and despite many attempts at détente, relations between North and South have remained polarized and often tense. However, the shared language and long history of Korean culture offers hope that the future lies in unity rather than division. What is critically needed is an agreed ideological foundation and framework for political economy that can enable all parties to come together around a shared vision for the future of the peninsula.
It should not be assumed that in the future the North will dominate because of its nuclear capability or that the South will dominate because of its larger industrial and economic base. Although the population of the South is nearly double that of the North and although its GDP, as measured using the usual international measures, is many times that of the North, the identity of the North is distinctive and cannot easily be absorbed into the South, nor the South into the North.
What needs to be worked toward is a true partnership, with transformation of the political economy of both societies, through refocusing on the importance of relationships in families, communities, companies, schools, and across society. This approach draws on the roots of both Confucian thinking, which is deeply rooted in Korean culture, and Christian priorities. The latter avoids the culture of Confucian hierarchy, which can be an impediment to the ability of both sides to come to the table as equals.
If it is true that the DPRK in the North will never accept willingly the capitalism of the ROK in the South, and that the ROK will never accept willingly the socialism of the DPRK, some alternative framework for economic and social life needs to be proposed as an option that both countries will find acceptable.
In the context of the Korean conflict, shared goals and values will require an alternative ideology that stands apart from the individualism lying at the heart of capitalism, and apart from the collectivism of Communism. Relational thinking, or “Relationism,” with its starting point in relationships rather than the individual or the collective, provides such an alternative.
The rapid economic expansion and sophisticated technological development of the ROK have taken place not without strain on the social fabric, involving loosening of family ties and the rise of a consumerist culture. The DPRK has experienced the problem of how to balance the costs of political independence with the need to develop its economic base and provide the material needs of its people. There is also the extensive diaspora of Korean people who need to be included in any discussions regarding the future of the peninsula.
There are also issues in how Korea is to relate to its immediate neighbors, which are far from straightforward in the case of the People’s Republic of China and the Russian Federation. Regarding Japan, there is the unresolved question of reconciliation with Korea, while difficulties arise from the United States having a continuing military presence in the ROK. It is in the best interest of all these countries that Korea as a whole is put on a long-term and peaceful course of development.
Given the deep distrust that exists, despite the limited success of the Geneva agreement of 1964, this is not an objective that can foreseeably be achieved at an intergovernmental level. All attempts at do so within the limited boundaries set by the nuclear weapons issue have continued to break down, notably in the framework of the six-party talks. More space needs to be created at the level of civil society for free and constructive interaction. However, without a common conception of the principles and values that would underpin a future social and economic order, this dialogue will not be possible.
What needs to be worked toward is true partnership through refocusing both the economy and the culture, of both North and South Korea, on the central importance of Relational values.

Real and Practical Resource for Grounded, Authentic, Essence-Centered Living.
Sisters and Brothers…
During this time of such upheaval and uncertainty, it is hard to know where we are headed, who is telling the truth, which direction to go, or what action to take…
Could you use a Real and Practical Resource to staying Grounded, Authentic, and Essence-Centered both personally and on a larger scale?
Many of us are struggling to make sense of the disparity within our communities, and the vitriol that seems to be fueled as our differing perspectives collide against each other.
Numbers of us are absolutely certain of the view we have, and have extreme difficulty comprehending the views of others who seem just as certain, yet 180 degrees in the other direction.
All of These Dynamics Mirror Those in Our Personal Relationships…
Are they wrong?
Am I wrong?
This is not a simple time. And it would seem that, no matter your political leaning, the state of our nation needed an overhaul. Not all of us agreed with how the revisions should happen, but here we are, with not much choice but to accept change as an inevitable and integral aspect of our growth.
Of course, in order for us to take our lives to the next level and create the new reality we desire, it is imperative that we participate by taking Essence-Centered Action.
If you are at all familiar with the work we do here at Conscious Choices, you might be aware of our belief that all change is for the better, even if the benefits are not immediately visible to us.
Under typical circumstances with our clients, our focus is generally directed toward individuals and couples who are struggling in their personal relationships with family, friends and co-workers.
However, it would seem that most recently, what once was often considered only political, and outside the realm of most of our daily lives, has suddenly become very personal for us all…
We used to be able to gently compartmentalize the goings-on of the world so we could manage the stressful details of our day-to-day lives.
We could choose when to turn on the news, when to point our awareness toward social justice issues, foreign affairs, environmental concerns, etc. And conversely, we could choose when to re-focus from those topics to practical things like taking care of the kids, the bills, the homework, the job, and yes, our relaxation and healing time…
But today, with so much information instantly available to us; and with so much being at stake, our ability to compartmentalize in healthy and helpful ways is being stretched to the limit.
It is challenging to stay grounded and non-reactive when we are feeling so vulnerable and out of control – the primary emotional states which trigger Fear-based Ego Actions.
Of course, this happens in our personal relationships too; it just seems that now, everything feels super-charged by the big shifts that are happening in the world around us.
So, how do we find a balance of staying informed, accepting what we cannot change, creating boundaries to reduce toxicity, remembering Who We Are and What We Want, and then taking Essence-Center Action in order to change the things we can. Knowing that as we make these kinds of positive changes in our personal lives, we influence the energy of everyone and everything around us…
The Evolution of a New Program.
Months ago, I had been developing a series of daily email reminders to help create a new routine for setting the tone for one’s day.
What started out as a 21 day journey to create a new daily habit of holding an intention to stay Conscious, Authentic and Essence-Centered, turned into an inspiration to develop a larger program. As I wrote and practiced these Intentions myself every day, and as I got feedback from those who were also reading them, I was inspired to expand them into something a bit more comprehensive than just an assortment of daily email reminders.
You are Not Powerless.
Over time, these ideas transformed into the basis for an exciting new program called, “Essence Bootcamp: 12 Weeks to a More Authentic Life.”
At its foundation, this program focuses on bringing Consciousness to all aspects of our lives, especially within Relationships.
Let’s face it, even if we are not currently partnered, we all are in various types of relationships in every area of our lives. The truth is relationships form the very fabric of our human lives.
Relationships are the Place Where We Find the Most Satisfaction; And Where We are Apt to Find the Most Pain…
If you are curious, this course will be perfect for those of you who are coupled (traditionally or otherwise) and want a more structured way to practice staying connected to your Essence Self while you also practice looking for Essence in your partner;
As well, it will be perfect for single folks who also want to discover the Truth of Who You Are while at the same time finding ways to express that Truth in the world you live in.
Either way, this program will help you discover your Authentic Self and ways to step into your Fullest Potential in every area of your life, especially at a time in our existence when staying True to one’s Essence can be extraordinarily difficult, while also having the most significant impact…
If you have been a counseling client at Conscious Choices, either with myself, or one of the other therapists, this 12 week program could be a great choice for you to reinforce and boost the work you have already done…
If you want to know more, click here for more information.
I would be honored to walk with you as we all explore our ability to stay Authentic and Essence-Centered in every aspect of our lives.
I invite you join me in exploring the next level of Consciousness your Life is calling you to create.
You are not powerless on any level.
You are brilliant; you are magnificent; and you are here to bring your Essence Self to this world.
Discover how to create the experience you want have.
I am brilliant;
I am magnificent;
I am a being of Love and Light.
I am here to bring my Essence Self to every experience of my Life.
Click here to receive these daily Conscious Intentions in your inbox every morning if you are not already receiving them.

Ministers today launched the £25 million drive to "unlock the creative talent of all young people", but especially those from lowincome families, to theatre, dance and drama.
Speaking at London's Young Vic theatre, Schools Secretary Ed Balls and Culture Secretary Andy Burnham said a new quango, the Youth Culture Trust, would be set up to administer the cultural diet.
A series of pilots will buildtoward all schoolchildren getting to do at least five hours a week of culturalandartisticpursuits, including school visits by operaandballetcompanies.
Teenagers will also be taken to art galleries and given the chance to learn a musical instrument. A spokesman for theDepartment for Children, Schools and Families said pupils would "learn through culture using engagement with the arts and other activities to boost attainment, other skills and personal development".
Keith Tyson, the Turner Prize-winning artist, cautiously welcomed the proposals: "My feeling is that the Government has not, until now, done a lot about culture but these plans sound positive."
But shadow arts minister Ed Vaizey said: "This reads more like a Stalinist five-year plan than a vision for creative industries."Reuse content

Diarrhea is commonly seen in young puppies, but oftentimes there is no sign of why your puppy is having these issues. It can be caused by a multitude of factors, from environmental to viral, some more serious than others. Knowing what to look for and what to feed your puppy with diarrhea is important as a new pet owner, as young puppies are more affected by the water loss that comes with diarrhea.
In this article, we will cover a few of the causes of puppy diarrhea to give you a sense of where it might originate, and then go over foods/substances to feed your puppy when they are feeling sick.
What to Feed a Puppy with Diarrhea
If your puppy has diarrhea, you need to feed him the right kind of food that won’t upset his stomach. This article has compiled a list with a few suggestions that help soothe an upset stomach and restore proper digestion.
**These suggestions are at-home remedies, useful after confirming that diarrhea is not the symptom of a serious underlying illness.**
Bland foods can help an upset stomach. Foods like rice, bread, and chicken-broth are three common foods used to help settle bad digestion. Cooked sweet potatoes and plain pumpkin are also recommended.
Yogurt and kimchi are great sources of probiotics. Probiotics exist in puppies’ bodies to help fight off bad bacteria and allow proper digestion, so supplying your puppy with a little extra will support healthy bowel movements.
Fasting is another recommended option for dealing with diarrhea, though it is important to consult with your vet for parameters based on the age and size of your puppy. It allows the digestive system to rest and recuperate, causing inflammation to level out without the ingestion of more food. This is only recommended for short periods of time: 12-24 hours maximum. You can give them something simple and bland afterward that will be easy on their stomachs.
There are a few over the counter medicines that can benefit your puppy with diarrhea. Pepto Bismal, Immodium AD, and Kaopectate are three well-known and widely used brands. If your puppy is under six weeks old, consult your veterinarian for proper dosage and medicines.
Last, but certainly not least, is water. Young puppies can especially become dehydrated during bouts of diarrhea. Make sure your puppy is drinking LOTS of water to replenish his body.
Causes of Puppy Diarrhea
Diarrhea is a symptom of an underlying issue. It could be indicative of many different things: stress, diet, puppy parasites, or more. It can be mild and harmless, or it can be a serious issue since young puppies are more easily prone to dehydration than older dogs. Common advice is to watch your puppy’s stools closely and notice her energy levels. If diarrhea persists further than day two, or you see tar-like diarrhea with blood or your dog is vomiting, stumbling, or has lethargy accompanying the diarrhea, take your puppy immediately to the vet.
Stress is a normal response for a young puppy. Changing environments, even for humans, is something that can cause emotional and psychological disruption and/or confusion. A young puppy has only known the comfort of his mother and the place where he was born, so coming into a new house with different smells and people can cause overstimulation or even puppy anxiety.
Changes in diet can cause diarrhea, especially with puppies that are transitioning from liquids to soft foods to dry foods. The transition should be slow and steady. If possible, try to feed your puppy the same diet she had before you owned her. If your puppy is already used to one dry food and you want to change to another, mix in half and half for a week or two until your puppy gets used to the flavor of the new food.
Puppies can get parasites such as hookworm, roundworm, and tapeworm from birth, from their mother’s milk, and/or from small animals or rodents that they eat.
Puppies with diarrhea are fairly common, but the underlying condition is the most important thing to assess. Remember to give your puppy LOTS of water to combat the dehydration taking place, and see your vet for recommended treatment if symptoms persist.

THE vagaries of the Scottish weather were all too apparent again on Monday night, when the first Clydesdale Cup semi-final between Forth Wanderers and Lanark United at Kingshill Park was postponed due to a waterlogged pitch.
This call-off came just two days after Forth’s scheduled home friendly against Bellshill was put off for the same reason.
Such events at what is supposed to be the height of the Scottish summer might have some football fans scratching their heads and wondering if the old argument about bringing in summer soccer would actually be a good idea after all.
Despite the call-offs, Forth manager Jamie McKenzie said that he would still be in favour of introducing summer football due to the possibility of generating more revenue.

YI JIAN’s review published on Letterboxd:
Rewatched just for that wonder woman soundtrack, can't really feel the hype when I listen to it without context, you know what I mean? Still, happy to report that my feelings for BvS are getting warmer. I'm starting to appreciate how unique this is compared to the abundance of superhero films out there. Zack Snyder will go through great lengths to achieve the visuals he wants, it's reverse storytelling. Images come first, then followed by the story to fit the picture, the rest are mere fillers to give this (thing) a somewhat coherent structure.
A shame how they had to add the final 30 minutes though, yuck.


Computerworld - Network intrusion-detection systems (IDS) are becoming a standard information security safeguard. Together with firewalls and vulnerability scanners, intrusion detection is one of the pillars of modern computer security.
In this article, I'll examine five mistakes that companies commonly make while planning and deploying their IDS systems. In addition to the obvious mistake of not evaluating the IDS technology at all, these mistakes will decrease or eliminate the added value that companies would derive from running an IDS.
While the IDS field is still in motion, several classes of products have formed. Most IDS products loosely fall into network IDS. Network IDS monitors the entire subnet for network attacks against machines connected to it, using a database of attack signatures or a set of algorithms to detect anomalies in network traffic. Alerts and attacks analysis would be handled by a different machine that collects the information from several sensors.
Anton Chuvakin, Ph.D., GCIA, is a senior security analyst at a major information security company. His areas of expertise include intrusion detection, Unix security, forensics and honeypots. In his spare time, he maintains his security portal. www.info-secure.org.
Now let's take a look at the top five mistakes and what can be done to avoid them.
1. Using an IDS without giving it an ability to see all the network traffic. In other words, deploying the network IDS without sufficient infrastructure planning. Network IDS should be deployed on the network choke point (such as right inside or outside the firewall), on the appropriate internal network segment or in the DMZ. For the shared Ethernet-based networks, IDS will see all the network traffic within the Ethernet collision domain or subnet and also destined to and from the subnet, but no more. For the switched networks, there are several IDS deployment scenarios that use special switch capabilities such as port mirroring or spanning.
2. The IDS is deployed appropriately, but nobody is looking at the alerts it generates. It's well known that IDS is a "detection" technology, and it never promised to be a "shoot-and-forget" means of thwarting attacks. While in some cases, the organization might get away with dropping the firewall in place and configuring the policy, such a deployment scenario never works for intrusion detection. If IDS alerts are reviewed only after a successful compromise, the system turns into an overpriced incident

Data from credit rating agency Equifax showed that the overall demand for credit slowed down during the second quarter of the year compared to last year.
Overall, secured consumer credit applications went down 3.3%, with car loan demand going down 5.4% while mortgage applications hitting a 2.8% decline.
Equifax general manager for advisory and solutions Kevin James said the impacts of the rate hike trend that started in May 2022 are becoming more evident among mortgage holders and car loan borrowers.
“We are seeing accelerated growth in mortgages in early arrears, with a 33% uptick in mortgage accounts that are 30-89 days past due, compared to 22% last quarter,” he said.
Meanwhile, auto loan arrears have hit a five-year high over the quarter.
“The significant increase in auto loan arrears suggests consumers are struggling to repay auto loans as they grapple with the high cost of living — a trend that we are also seeing in international markets including the US and Canada,” Mr James said.
Overall, demand for such credit declined 8.3%, driven mostly by the easing demand for BNPL, which went down 26.3% over the quarter.
Meanwhile, personal loan applications fell 5.9% during the same period.
Interestingly, credit card applications went up over the quarter, growing 5.9% higher than last year.
Mr James said the overall slowdown in unsecured credit indicates that consumers are reducing their spending in response to mounting economic pressures.
“While demand for personal loans declined year-on-year, the average limit per account, and the average credit score of applicants, has increased. This could indicate that consumers who previously weren’t feeling financial strain have begun to consolidate their debts, so they can better manage their credit payments,” he said.
A separate study from competing credit rating agency Illion showed that the credit default risk of Australian consumers has risen over 8% in the year to March 2023.
The report also highlighted various indicators of deteriorating repayment behavior among Australian borrowers, including increased mortgage and living costs.


A recent survey was reported on the filing of two new application on working of the new invented stylus of the Apple’s pencil working model for both iPad Pro and iPhone, which was seen in the Patently Apple where it was posted. Just in comparison of Samsung new inventions of Samsung Galaxy pro-8 ; now it’s time for Apple to suggest for its new inventions as in alike to the Samsung . According to the new inventions hooked in an website (Patently Apple) suggests the first filing for titled topic- “Noise Corrections for a Stylus Touch Drive,”which has its specification for the touch screen smartphones or tablets which further detailed note of them being an iPad and an iPhone.
Comparison between previously and newly filed patents on Apple’s pencil work
This isn’t actually the first time we’ve heard of the Apple Pencil working on an iPhone before. Last year, Apple CEO Tim Cook commented that he had already tried using a Pencil on an iPad and iPhone, saying that “it’s really unbelievable,” as pointed out by 9 To 5 Mac. In 2015, Apple was granted a patent for an Apple Pencil that worked for both an iPad and an iPhone. Then the following year, the tech giant was once again granted another patent for an Apple Pencil working with an iPhone and even on a MacBook Pro.
But in case of the new inventions we find the differential features imposed on the new working was this that the new patent filing clearly mentions the iPhone by name. The previous patents from 2015 and 2016 avoided using the name, and instead carefully used words and terms like “cellular phones” or “personal device.” these were the main aspects of the new inventions proposed by Apple.
Specifications of the invention
Apple patents a lot of things and most of them don’t even ends up becoming actual consumer-ready products. However, with these pair of new patents, it’s becoming more likely that the tech giant wants to officially bring the Apple Pencil to one of its future iPhones.
Here are the following features of the inventions:-
The current Apple Pencil is big and is really for the 10.5-inch and 12.9-inch iPad Pro.
Apple could simply make a smaller version of it for the iPhone. With the iPhone 8 expected to get rid of those thick bezels and going for an edge-to-edge OLED display, a stylus could really become a useful accessory.
If Apple does plan on bringing the Apple Pencil to the iPhone, it could potentially attract current Galaxy Note users. That is, of course, if the Apple Pen which has proved to be as useful on the iPhone as it is on the iPad Pro.
Apple did add the ability to instantly open the Notes app on iOS -11 when user tap on to the Apple Pencil on the iPad Pro’s lock screen. This certainly sets itself up as a future instant note-taking feature for the iPhone inbuilt within the stylus.
An Apple Pencil with a compatible iPhone, and even more of you said that you might, suggesting significant interest. With Apple also fitting a larger screen size into a smaller form factor in the iPhone 8, Pencil support might also help attract some of those currently using Samsung’s Note devices .But in that case Samsung’s Galaxy Note line has been famous for its large size and the S Pen, and has proven that there’s still a market for smartphones that comes with a stylus. The Galaxy Note 8, which was just announced recently, arrived with an improved S Pen which can be used to instantly translate highlighted text but it had specificational differences than that of Apple .


Independent research agency Kantar Public have been hired by Defra and the Environment Agency to run a research project that works in collaboration with farmers and other industry stakeholders including waste collectors, manufacturers, re-processors, farm assurance schemes, the NFU, FWAG and CLA. The aim of the project is to identify and develop potential interventions (for example a good waste management guide) that can make it easier for agricultural plastics to be disposed of.
Discussions can be arranged to suit farmer preferences and can be either online, by telephone, or researchers can also visit farms if welcome. They will be taking place in October and November, but exact dates and times can be agreed to best suit each participant.
Kantar are particularly interested in hearing from livestock and arable farmers who use silage wrap and other plastic films but perspectives from different types of farms, who may use other forms of plastic, are very welcome.
The project focuses on farms in the southern regions of England (from Cornwall & the Isles of Scilly to Kent and up into East Anglia) however if there are willing farmers outside of these areas, they would be happy to speak to you.
If you are keen to help, please contact Maria Gaffario at Kantar Maria.Gafforio@kantar.com or 07951 890318
Please note that this is a collaborative project, and all discussions will be anonymous.

Released: 4th September 2000.
Another catchy pop song from the 'N Sync guys, who are sounding more like an R&B group with every record they release. With a big bassline and sharp vocals, they're not >just better than the Backstreet Boys, they're in a completely different league.
'N Sync release the third single from their "No Strings Attached" album. Walking the same path as "Bye Bye Bye", this is an R&B/pop song accompanied by a great video. It >is good, but it's a shame they haven't released any of the album's other fantastic tracks, such as "It Make Me Ill" or "Space Cowboy". Either of the two could equal or better the success of "Bye Bye Bye", and help raise their UK profile. Sadly, this is unlikely to make a big impact.

Lauren London is making sure we remember the legacy of Nipsey Hussle at any point she gets the opportunity.
The actress did so today (May 15), by reminding everyone who she feels the true king of Los Angeles is in an Instagram post with his photo.
“King of Los Angeles. Then. Now . Forever.”
This comes days after it was announced that the flagship The Marathon Store in Los Angeles would be temporarily shut down due to the overwhelming amount of orders that has totaled over $10 million since the rapper’s unfortunate passing.
