Luke Bryan Premiers New Song on Facebook
"Kill The Lights" , Luke Bryan's latest album, hits stores tomorrow. Luke has been super busy promoting the album, touring and of course releasing a scented candle. Let that all set it.
Luke took some time to chat with his fans yesterday on Facebook. He posted videos, but one specifically caught my eye. Luke shared an acoustic version of an exclusive song off "Kill The Lights." It's called "To the Moon and Back" and Luke himself says that it could be a wedding song. After listening, and swooning a little bit, I would have to full heartily agree with him.
Just for y'all...an exclusive track off my new album Kill The Lights http://umgn.us/lbktl
Posted by Luke Bryan on Wednesday, August 5, 2015
What do you think of "To The Moon and Back" ? Also, you can stream Luke's NYC concert tomorrow on YahooLive.


Veteran caddie Joe LaCava started working with Tiger Woods back in 2011, and he revealed in a podcast interview with Golf Digest that he learned a very important lesson about Woods’ scheduling habits the first night they had dinner together.
LaCava recalled that Woods told him to arrive at a restaurant at 5:30 – but he didn’t really mean 5:30.
Via Golf Digest:
“The first time I went out to dinner with him, he says ‘alright, let’s meet here at 5:30.’
… And so I show up at 5:30, I go to the restaurant and they say ‘who are you here with?’ and I say ‘I’m here with Tiger,’ he’s in the back, no problem.
So I go in the back, it’s 5:30, he has now already eaten his salad, and he’s waiting for his steak to be delivered. We’re talking, and he really doesn’t even look up, he’s just eating. Really doesn’t even kind of look at me, but we’re talking. And so he literally ate his steak before I got my salad, and he finished his meal before I finished my salad, and he got up and left.
It wasn’t in a bad way, but come to find out 5:30 for him means like 5:15, which I found out later. And if you’re not there, he’s just going to order. He doesn’t even look at the menu. He wants the porterhouse, medium well, and he wants a salad and that’s it.”

DISCLAIMER: There is massive (yes, really) debate about what constitutes an actual Manhattan neighborhood (i.e.- Does NoLita really count? What about NoHo?) and where they begin and end. This is a rough estimate, as you travel around you may completely disagree with this guide. Once you form your very strong-for-absolutely-no-reason opinion on what the neighborhoods are and where they are, check that off your “things to do before being an official New Yorker” list.
Upper West Side
Upper East Side
Union Square/Greenwich Village
East Village/Lower East Side
AKA Morningside Heights, Harlem, Washington Heights, and Inwood. Typically seen as running from 96th street and up on the East Side, and 110th Street on up on the West Side. Morningside Heights (it’s rumored that Columbia University invented this area so the Iivy Leaguers don’t have to say they go to school in Harlem) is generally thought to run from 110th street to 125th street on the West Side. Harlem on the West Side would then stretch from 125th until about 145-150th (or further, this is where it gets messy. The “official” Washington Heights subway stop is 168th street, but many will tell you that you are no longer in Harlem at around 160th street). Washington Heights then goes from about 145-150th up until around 180th street, where Inwood arguably begins. Got all that?
Upper Manhattan is generally seen as “off limits” by a lot of New NYers, because they hear horror stories of all the crime and terrible things happening. False. Although it’s never a good idea to wander around by yourself at night (here or anywhere in the city, or the world, for that matter) when there’s no one around, it’s not like you’ve stepped out of a scene of Gangs of New York. If you need a reason for it to be off limits, there’s not a whole lot up there in general. It’s pretty residential, and with the exception of a few good restaurants (and they do exist), it’s deserted compared to some other NY neighborhoods.
Reasons to Visit: The Cloister Museum, Red Rooster Restaurant, beautiful churches, Hamilton Heights Historic District
Reasons to Live Here: Rents are cheaper, apartments are bigger, less crowded and more residential than other neighborhoods
Reasons Not to Live Here: Trains are less reliable and tend to be less convenient, fewer restaurants/stores/etc., further from Midtown and other parts of Manhattan you may need to travel to frequently
Upper West Side
Made famous by You’ve Got Mail, it’s known for Central Park West, Zabar’s, and the Natural History Museum. It runs from 59th street (this is one neighborhood boundary that is generally not debatable), where Central Park starts, and goes up to either 96th street or 110th street depending on who you ask (For argument’s sake, we will say 110th). It runs from Central Park West to Riverside from east to west. It’s residential, and very family oriented. There are great restaurants all up and down Columbus, Amsterdam, and Broadway, as well as shopping. It’s thought of as one of the two traditionally residential sections of Manhattan (The Upper East being the other), but considered arguably the more affordable of the two.
Reasons to Visit: Natural History Museum, Central Park, Zabar’s, Riverside Park, the new Lincoln Center
Reasons to Live Here: Residential but still with tons of restaurants/stores, subways run along two avenues (1 train on Broadway, B/C on Central Park West), close to both Central Park and Riverside Park
Reasons Not to Live Here: Rents can be expensive, some buildings are older, family environment, smaller apartments for the price.
Upper East Side
The upscale, Madison Avenue, fancy 5th avenue apartment neighborhood. Well, mostly. The Upper East Side runs from 59th street to 96th street and from 5th avenue to 1st Avenue, York Ave, or East End Avenue depending on where you are. From 5th Avenue to Lexington Ave, you get the stereotypical Upper East Side vibe. Upscale stores and restaurants with apartments you can only dream about affording. From 3rd to 1st/York/East End (well, maybe not East End, but we’ll get to that in a second), you get a different feel. Cheaper for the size apartments, and streets lined with more affordable restaurants and college/post-college bars. East End avenue, which runs from 79th through 86th street, is the exception to this rule. Only apartments are found on this street, and it tends to be more expensive (probably because of the amazing river views).
Reasons to Visit: Museum Mile, the other side of Central Park, Madison Avenue shops, good restaurants (especially those east of Lex which are also affordable)
Reasons to Live Here: Super clean streets, residential but with lots of restaurants/stores, cheaper for the size apartments (east of Lexington), close to 2nd avenue bars, out of town friends may be impressed when you say you live on the Upper East Side
Reasons Not to Live Here: The more affordable apartments are east of Lexington, and the further east you go, the further the train is. The walk from York to Lexington to get the 6 train sucks if you do it every day (regardless of what anyone says). Stores and restaurants tend to be more expensive, 2nd avenue subway construction currently going on.
Generally thought of as an area for business (which it is), most of the neighborhood caters to the 9-5 weekday crowd. It runs from 59th street down to 33rd street (again, arguable) from 5th avenue to 1st avenue (or Sutton Place, depending on where you are). Apartments are generally more new and “upscale” than their uptown counterparts. Lots of good (and often cheap) restaurants and bars surround the area. It can get pretty quiet on the weekends or other holidays, though.
Reasons to Visit: Good and affordable restaurants, nearby bars, if you have never seen Grand Central Terminal or the UN, and you want to. MOMA also falls into this neighborhood, and it’s pretty awesome.
Reasons to Live Here: Closer to more trains than the Upper East Side, but can still be a far trek if you’re on the far east end, newer buildings, the eastern end has a neighborhood feel in the middle of Midtown (convenience and quiet, best of both worlds), close to businesses and other Midtown things without being in the middle of the tourist trap
Reasons Not to Live Here: Again, the commute to the subway can suck, can be pretty quiet during off-peak hours, newer buildings can be more expensive.
If you ever visited New York prior to becoming a resident, chances are, this is where you went. The unofficial tourist capital of Manhattan, Midtown West includes the Theater District, Times Square, and Penn Station area. It is generally overcrowded, but it is also convenient to everything. Midtown West goes from 6th Avenue (Avenue of the Americas) to 12th Avenue and from 30-34th street up to 59th street. From 6th-8th avenue, it is tourist/crowd central. From 9th-10th avenue, however, residents tend to take over and the crowds lessen, and restaurants and stores become more affordable (and better).
Reasons to Visit: If you need to check any tourist traps off your bucket list, good restaurants/bars along 9th and 10th avenue, if you have tickets to a Broadway show
Reasons to Live Here: It is literally close to everything. You can be at every major subway line within minutes (assuming you don’t live on 11th avenue), lots of restaurants and stores around, it is always buzzing with people (reducing the risk that you will come home at 3am, fall down, and no one will find you), apartments can be cheaper than the UWS or UES
Reasons Not to Live Here: TOURISTS EVERYWHERE 24/7, Potentially having to walk through Times Square to get to work, or anywhere else for that matter, buildings can be older with more maintenance issues, if you live west of 9th or 10th avenue the walk to the closest subway can be worse than the Upper East Side.
Midtown West’s neighbor to the south, and in the case of Flatiron, slightly to the east. Chelsea (arguably) runs from 30th street down to 14th between 6th and 12th ave. Flatiron would be right in the middle in the 20’s around Broadway/5th/Madison. This area can be considered “the local’s midtown” with a bunch of good restaurants, bars, and stores. It is almost always a busy area, but usually more New Yorkers than tourists, so it can be less annoying to walk around than in Midtown.
Reasons to Visit: Chelsea Piers (it’s worth seeing, even if it is absurdly expensive. Good views), Highline, FIT Museum (it’s free!), Chelsea Market, Madison Square Park (just don’t eat at that Shake Shack, the lines are way too long)
Reasons to Live Here: Close to everything you could possibly want without being overrun by tourists, close to major subway lines (on Broadway, 6th, 7th, and 8th)
Reasons Not to Live Here: Apartments can be expensive due to the high demand of the area, apartments can be on the small side, it is a busy area so depending on the block it may not have a very residential feel.
Midtown East’s neighbor to the south, Murray Hill (also known as Curry Hill, I will let you guess what type of food is super prevalent here). It runs from about 33rd street to around the Union Square area from Park Ave. to the FDR. It has a combined feel of both Chelsea and the Upper East Side, east of Lexington. Young professionals, lots of college/post-college bars, and good restaurants.
Reasons to Visit: If you like Indian food or cheap, fun bars.
Reasons to Live Here: Good combination of residential/city feel. Less going on generally than Chelsea, but still close to lots of restaurants, bars, and stores.
Reasons Not to Live Here: If you are over 30. Apartments can be expensive (due to high demand of the area for 20 something’s and newer buildings), can be far from the train depending on where you are (only line on the east side is the 6).
Union Square/Greenwich Village
Pronounced gren-itch, not green-witch, it is the soon to be the NYU controlled neighborhood. It gives a college town type feel in the middle of Manhattan. There are newer, more modern buildings popping up also, and it is a super convenient area to live in. A bunch of restaurants, stores, bars, and everything else surrounds the area, and due to it being further downtown, the avenues are closer together making it easier to get around. In the Village around Washington Square Park, you will see some of the most beautiful brownstones and older homes. Probably not somewhere you could afford to live, but still nice to look at.
Reasons to Visit: Union Square Greenmarket, Washington Square Park, lots of unique stores, beautiful real estate
Reasons to Live Here: Beautiful neighborhood, close to pretty much every train line you could think of, lots of restaurants/bars/stores
Reasons Not to Live Here: Apartments are expensive and it is a college area since NYU’s presence is definitely felt.
The trendy western neighbor of The Village, some people think that this isn’t even a separate neighborhood. I separate it because the closer you get to the river, it’s a very different feel. Closer to the NYU campus, you get great restaurants and stores. It’s a good mix of the NYU-Chelsea feel. Further west, it becomes more upscale stores and super expensive townhouses. One of the best NYC neighborhoods, hands down. Also close to the big NYC clubs, which can be a plus for some, and also includes the Meatpacking District.
Reasons to Visit: Great restaurants and shops, Hudson River Park, great neighborhood feel for walking around, the cobblestone streets around 14th street and 9th ave.
Reasons to Live Here: Infinite. Restaurants, shops, but also residential. It has a great “old New York” feel, and is super close to Hudson River Park which is one of the most amazing places in the city.
Reasons Not to Live Here: EXPENSIVE. That’s all I got.
East Village/Lower East Side
Another NYU-centric area (East Village), but with more of an edgy feel. It is historically was home to working class immigrants, but this is also where punk rock, bohemia, and grunge lived (still do?) in the city. Here you will find every kind of bar imaginable, and the trendy “run down” feel as if you’ve stepped right out of RENT. Alphabet City is thought to be the sub-neighborhood in this area, which includes Tompkins Square Park.
Reasons to Visit: Landmark clubs (CBGB/The Bowery), thrift store heaven, cheap restaurants, St. Mark’s Place, Tompkins Square Park, lots of bars
Reasons to Live Here: If you love the artsy-vibe, and don’t mind the small apartments. Everything down here is generally cheaper. If you love living near more bars than you could count.
Reasons Not to Live Here: The stereotypical NYC apartments where you go to look at it and you see holes in the floor and you must shower over the toilet are in this area. Rents can be expensive since it is becoming a pretty popular place to live. It can also be far from the subway.
SoHo = South of Houston (not pronounced like the city in Texas, don’t forget), which means this neighborhood starts south of Houston Street (New York is so logical), and includes things North of Canal Street. SoHo used to be home to starving artists, but now is home to celebrities in lofts and upscale stores. Broadway around Prince St. is shopper’s heaven, especially in the summer when you can shop inside AND outside. When the starving artists fled, they went to Tribeca (Triangle Beneath Canal Street), but now celebrities with lofts also live here. Tribeca is now home to some of the best restaurants in the city, and great nightlife spots.
Reasons to Visit: Shopping, art galleries, amazing restaurants
Reasons to Live Here: Why would you not want to be close to the things listed above? Very high chance of celebrity sightings, close to trains, also close to other neighborhoods since it’s right in the middle of the city.
Reasons Not to Live Here: Tribeca was recently named the most expensive zip code in the city so chances are you cannot afford rent, can be a tourist-y area, people out late/making noise due to all the places there are to go out around here.
These are grouped together since Chinatown has basically taken over Little Italy. Home to the best Chinese and Vietnamese food in the city. The Italian food in Little Italy, however, is hit or miss depending on where you go. Little outside vendors line the streets, as well as random delicious snacks. The marker of this area is generally Canal Street, and it fits right in between SoHo and Tribeca.
Reasons to Visit: Amazing Chinese food (Peking duck and soup dumplings), amazing Vietnamese food (Pho!), Italian feel of Mulberry Street, San Gennaro Festival
Reasons to Live Here: Close to trains, cheaper rents
Reasons Not to Live Here: Because it is a busy, tourist-y, mess. Because you may not speak Chinese.
Affectionately called FiDi, when people think of New Yorkers going to work, this is usually where they are. It is the southern most part of Manhattan and is home to the major headquarters of most businesses and financial institutions. It is generally thought to start at City Hall and include all areas south. The heart of the financial district is considered to be the corner of Wall and Broad Street.
Reasons to Visit: South Street Seaport (you have to go at least once), Battery Park, Century 21, WTC Memorial, Canyon of Heroes (only when one of our teams win!), Brooklyn Bridge
Reasons to Live Here: Close to trains, your apartment can have amazing river/bridge views, rents can be cheaper
Reasons Not to Live Here: Since it is mostly an industrial area, a lot of things are only open during general business hours. However, it is a growing area as far as full time residents.

Irish Water is to invest over 1.3 million euro in Dublin’s north Docklands to upgrade the sewer network.
The works will address the structural defects of sewers, and ensure the infrastructure is maintained. It will take place in the Sheriff Street, New Wapping Street and North Wall Quay area in the coming weeks.
In a statement, Hugh Kennedy, the Irish Water Capital Programme Coordinator, announced, “These sewer network upgrades, when completed, will benefit the local community by reducing the risk of sewer collapses and blockages, and improve the performance level of the sewer network.”
“Every effort will be made to minimise the disruption and impact on the local community during the works. For example, we’re using non-dig technology where we can to minimise the footprint of works.”

WARNING THIS ENTIRE ARTICLE IS ONE GIANT SPOILER, WATCH EPISODE 9 OF VALVERAVE THE LIBERATOR BEFORE READING!
Valvrave the Liberator Episode 9 was very satisfying to watch. In the previous episode a student Aiana Nubo, a character that fits the “shy girl” trope, died senselessly. Episode 9 opens with the characters paying tribute to her and posting RIP on the equivalent of Twitter. The students of module 77 are so moved by her loss that decide to willingly accept L-Elf’s leadership (something I considered a bit of a stretch), and engage in military training to help defend module77.
This episode marks a turning point between L-Elf and Haruto, as the latter finally decides that trusting L-Elf will ensure the best chance of everyone’s survival. Inzuka and Thunder are particularly effected in this episode and compelled to want to avenge Aina using the Valvrave’s. Both are equally committed in their own ways and prove it throughout the episode despite being told they are in over their heads and can’t use the machines.
We find out that Inzuka was in love with Aina and wanted to confess to her and that he has a strong will to fight now because of her loss. Both Inzuka and Thunder end up piloting Valverave and protect the module from attack.
Valvrave is a great anime in and of itself, but it seems to be partly owed to borrowing a lot from other successful series, mostly: Gundam, Evangellion and Robotech/Macross. In this episode we see a fairly blatant copy of the “Pinpoint Barrier System” used in Robotech. We see a multi-armed Valverave with similar qualities to the Seraphim Gundam from Gundam 00, and we also get more in site to Module 77 essentially being ORB from Gundam Seed. The setup for all the students in the school to be compatible with giant robots, and teachers that are actually soldiers or scientist, not to mention the robots seem to be powered by human souls reeks of Evangellion. The birthing chamber for the Valvrave even looks just like the cloning chamber for Rei in Eva, and so does the holding area for the Valvraves.
Valvrave episode 9 delivers on intense emotionally conflict as do most of its episodes, but balances it with stunning action sequences and visuals we’ve come to expect from the series.
The music in this episode was a treat, and I can’t wait for the release of the soundtrack for this show. The stunning visuals will also make for great posters and if they ever make a game franchise I will be buying. I’ve made some complaints about the show and how much it borrows from other shows, but I will say that what it borrows it makes its own and executes more effectively.
For example I think the show accomplishes many things Eva fails to. It doesn’t take too long in dragging out some of its mysterious and in doing so it is much less far fetched and confusing. The decisions and conclusions the characters make are more realistic given their situation and they accept the weight of the outcomes, which was exactly what was lacking in Eva.
Unlike Gundam Valvrave is not a story of “us vs them” or the “other”, its about a group of people caught in the middle and going to extremes to maintain their freedoms rather than become victims of their circumstances. I think that is one the strongest appeals of the show.
Episode 9 of Valvare gets a 9/10 for delivering a balance of strong action and character performances while moving the plot along and delivering on its standard of beautiful battle sequences and artwork.
SIDE NOTE: Valvrave vs Gundam
There has been some debate as the whether or not the overpowered Valverave’s would stand up against Gundams. In my opinion this episode answers that very well. The Valverave’s are just to OVER POWERED, the only Gundam that would stand much of a chance is the Gundam 00 Raiser with Setsuna in his full Innovator state.

You are now entering the Jewish Currents archive.
The Virginia Declaration of Rights, written principally by George Mason, was ratified by the Fifth Virginia Convention at Williamsburg, Virginia on this date in 1776. Its sixteenth article declared that “religion, or the duty which we owe to our Creator, and the manner of discharging it, can be directed only by reason and conviction, not by force or violence; and therefore all men are equally entitled to the free exercise of religion, according to the dictates of conscience . . .” This was an early articulation of the right to freedom of religion that have, from the founding of the United States, empowered Jews to be full citizens without conversionary pressures. However, after the document’s adoption, the Church of England remained the state church in Virginia, supported by taxes and controlling a number of governmental functions, including oversight of the poor and of orphans. Virginia law also discriminated in favor of Anglicans, and dissenters such as Presbyterians and Baptists experienced active persecution. In 1777, Thomas Jefferson drafted “An Act for the Establishment of Religious Freedom,” arguing that the inalienable right of freedom of conscience was limited by the establishment of any religion. This engendered a battle over disestablishment in Virginia that went on for ten years, right through the Revolutionary War, until 1786, when the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom enshrined principles of separation of church and state and freedom of religion.
“Virginia did not develop a significant Jewish community during the colonial era. The reason was primarily economic as Virginia did not have a thriving port city like Charleston, Philadelphia, and New York, which all attracted small but thriving Jewish communities. . . . In 1786, Thomas Jefferson wrote Virginia’s Statute for Religious Freedom which finally granted religious liberty to Jews in the state. With this new freedom, and the rise of mercantile centers in Richmond and Norfolk, the state’s Jewish population began to grow slowly. . . . Jews lived in Richmond by the 1760s, and established the state’s first Jewish congregation in 1789, only the sixth to be founded in the United States.”--Goldring/Wolburg Institute of Southern Jewish Life

Promiscuity In most American dating cultures, promiscuity is the social norm. Women feel increasing pressure to carry on intimate relationships with men they do not intend to marry, and these relationships, though not highly prized, are socially acceptable.
In East Indian dating cultures, promiscuity is extremely taboo and even limited encounters between males and females is strictly reserved for marriage. Most Indians maintain their chastity until they are married or face ostracism by the community as well as parents.

Indiana State Police investigating after electronic device found in SBFD women’s locker room
SOUTH BEND, Ind. (WNDU) - Indiana State Police confirm they are investigating after an electronic device, possibly a surveillance device, was discovered at a South Bend fire station.
Police say the device was found in a locker room used by women.
They do not specify which station is being investigated.
“I am deeply by the discovery of this device and the SBFD is fully cooperating with the Indiana State Police investigation as it proceeds. Additional inquiries on the progress of the investigation will be handled by the Indiana State Police,” says Fire Chief Carl Buchanon in a written statement.
South Bend Mayor James Mueller also released a written statement, saying, “This discovery is deeply disturbing and requires a full investigation. I am confident that the Indiana State Police will thoroughly investigate this matter, and the City will do everything we can to assist in getting to the bottom of this. We will take appropriate action based on the findings of the investigation.”

Ann Garvin, author of ON MAGGIE’S WATCH and THE DOG YEAR and founder of the Tall Poppy Writers, shares some tips on how to support the books you love. Her third novel, I LIKE YOU JUST FINE WHEN YOU’RE NOT AROUND, comes out in June 2016.
Everything is falling apart in psychologist, Tig Monahan’s life. Her mother’s dementia is wearing her out, her boyfriend takes off for Hawaii without her, and her sister inexplicably disappears leaving her newborn behind.
When a therapy session goes horribly wrong, Tig finds herself unemployed and part of the sandwich generation trying to take care of everyone and failing miserably. Just when she thinks she can redefine herself on the radio, as an arbiter of fairness, she discovers a family secret that nobody saw coming.
It will take everything plus a sense of humor to see her way clear to a better life, but none of that will happen if she can’t let go of her past.
Ann shares some ways you can support authors and books you love.
- Talk about the books you love. Not just the big famous ones.
- Leave a review on Amazon or BN.com or Goodreads or all of the above.
- “Like” the book on Amazon, or “Like” the author’s Facebook Fan page, then invite your friends to “Like” because authors need people that don’t know them.
- Spread news of the book through your social media channels.
- Buy books. Pre-order is best before the book comes out.
- Buy books as gifts.
- Carry the book around so people can see it.
- Reserve a copy at the library.
- Attend the book release party (if there is one) and bring a warm body or two.
- Request books at bookstores.
- Turn books face out at bookstores.
- Alert the media (if you know any).
Share this page. Go ahead, you know you love books, talk about them so you can keep reading.

- Soybeans reversed from resistance level 1080.00
- Likely to correct to 1050.00
Soybeans falling strongly today – which follows the earlier sharp downward reversal from the long-term resistance level 1080.00 (which has been steadily reversing the price from the start of 2017, as can be seen from the weekly Soybeans chart below), intersecting with the weekly and the daily upper Bollinger Bands – which further strengthened this resistance level. The downward reversal from 1080.00 created the daily Japanese candlesticks reversal pattern Shooting Star.
With the weekly Stochastic showing overbought reading and the weekly RSI recently forming bearish divergence Soybeans is expected to remain heavily sold in the coming trading sessions – with the next support at 1050.00 seen as the likely target for this decline.

In an effort to alleviate the struggles of families burdened with job loss, reduced hours, and tight financial situations, Agnes Lynch founded, oversees and continues to develop the Braintree Community Food Pantry.
As someone who has struggled through difficult economic times of her own life, Agnes can identify with those who continue to struggle to provide for their families. For the past 17 years, Agnes has overseen the food pantry and in one month’s time, is able to meet the needs of 150 individuals who are struggling. The pantry provides not only food, but gifts during the holiday season. She is determined to help those struggling to meet the needs of their families not only by providing them with food and basic needs, but also by offering them encouragement through their times of struggle.
Agnes is dedicated to helping those in her community overcome hard economic times as she and other community members have done in the past. Her faith and enthusiasm has motivated other community members to rally around her to help meet the goals of the Braintree Community Food Pantry. This is why Agnes is a Daily Point of Light.


An earlier post noted the hot political trend of convincing the upper middle class and the wealthy that they are financially vulnerable and in need of government assistance.
From loan subsidies for McMansions to blue-blood public works, from the doling out of market power and financial support to businessmen, to the offering of government money and tax breaks to (usually well-to-do) people who consume in a government-approved manner, politicians of Red stripes and Blue are all about helping the down-and-out in the (gated) community.
Such welfare-for-the-wealthy is the subtext of Sunday’s NYT story about the Children’s Health Insurance Program. CHIP was once intended to help children in families that are low-income but that do not qualify for Medicaid; now Congress is pushing for the state-operated/federally supported program to use its money to cover families up to four times the poverty level (e.g., a family of four earning $82,600 a year) — that is, nearly all families in the second-highest income quintile, aka the upper middle class.
The NYT article includes a provocative figure about the effects of CHIP. When the program was first implemented, the percentage of families with income between the poverty level and 200% of the poverty level (i.e., the families whom the program was intended to help) with uninsured children began to decline, falling from 20% in 1998 to about 12% by 2002. However, the percentage of those lower-income families with privately insured children also began to fall over that time, from about 55% to about 45%. Since 2002, the percentage of uninsured children in that income range has roughly plateaued while the percentage of children with private insurance has continued to fall, to about 35 percent by 2006. This suggests (though, by itself, does not prove) that, by 2002, CHIP had gone about as far as it could go in reducing the percentage of uninsured children in poor families; since then, CHIP has simply displaced private insurance — a dubious policy goal.
Given that, it’s no wonder politicians want to mission-creep CHIP into wealthier income brackets. But one must wonder what the next welfare-for-the-wealthy program will be. Perhaps a chicken in every pot and a Lexus in every garage?

Rotator Cuff Tear Treated with Stem Cells
Ruth is like many of our patients. She’s a health care professional who has had the RIGHT rotator cuff treated twice with traditional surgery. The 3-4 month recovery was difficult, the blue pillow immobilization meant that she couldn’t work as an ER nurse. Because of the muscle atrophy she likely experienced with the first RIGHT sided rotator cuff surgery, she had a retear of the same rotator cuff a few years later. The second time she was again off work for several months and loosing income. Based on her results with her first and second surgeries on the RIGHT, when the LEFT rotator cuff tore while she was transferring a patient, she went searching to see if newer non-surgical alternatives were available. We treated the LEFT by using her MRI to plan our x-ray guided injections of her own stem cells into the tear. It’s notable that this time, she remained working and fully active during the procedures. She has had three injections with excellent relief of pain and return of full range of motion. Rather than the doctor continuing to tell what happened (this is Dr. Centeno), best to let the patient tell her own story:
This patient was treated with the Regenexx-C (cultured stem cell injections).Learn about Regenexx procedures for shoulder conditions.

Comedian Chris Rock spilled the beans on behind-the-scenes festivities at Dave Chappelle’s recent comedy shows, telling Ellen DeGeneres that the parties have included “way more weed than anyone should ever have” as well as “a lot of mushrooms.”
“Mushrooms, like hallucinogenic mushrooms?” DeGeneres asked in an interview that aired on Thursday.
“Yeah, I was trying to be nice because your show’s on in the daytime, but we do lots of drugs,” Rock replied.
Lucky for the comics, the local sheriff thinks they’re only joking.
For the past several weeks, Chappelle has been hosting a series of socially distanced comedy shows at an outdoor pavilion in the small village of Yellow Springs, Ohio. The show, “Dave Chappelle & Friends – An Intimate Socially Distanced Affair,” has featured comics from across the country—including Rock, Michelle Wolf, Kevin Hart, Sarah Silverman, David Letterman and others—and drawn a cadre of other celebrity entertainers.
“A bunch of comedians fly in every weekend, we get COVID tested and we kinda put on a show,” Rock said, describing a buttoned-down atmosphere of friends. “It’s a bunch of us just having fun, being comics,” he explained.
Asked by DeGeneres about rumors of mushroom tea being served, Rock confirmed that certain drugs were common at the events. “Dave’s got, like, a weed–mushroom chef that prepares amazing meals with weed and mushrooms,” he said.
He emphasized that “no hard stuff,” such as cocaine, was provided.
View this post on Instagram
Literally THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH. A legendary 4+ hour show. @davechappelle @kevinhart4real @wilfredburr @questlove @tobenwigwe @realmoamer @ciphasounds @michelleisawolf @djtrauma @tonywoodz @wilsylvince @donnellrawlings @ardiefuqua @stanlathan #LeicaSL2 #ChappelleSummerCamp #CovidTested
To be clear, both marijuana and psilocybin mushrooms are illegal in Ohio, although possession of up to 100 grams of marijuana carries no jail time and a maximum penalty of $150. The limit is higher in the village of Yellow Springs, where officials last month decriminalized possession of up to 200 grams.
The state Senate voted in July to double the statewide cannabis possession decriminalization limit to 200 grams as well, but the bill has not been enacted into law. Meanwhile, four additional cities will be voting on marijuana reform ballot measures next month.
Possessing psilocybin, classified by the state as Schedule I controlled substance, is a criminal offense.
Greene County Sheriff Gene Fischer, however, doesn’t seem too worried about what’s going on at Chappelle’s events. Fischer told local media outlet WHIO that he thought Rock’s comments were probably meant in jest.
“Chris Rock’s a comedian. Chris Rock is probably looking for jokes,” the sheriff said. “People have been making jokes about marijuana and drugs for years. Hopefully that’s what he’s talking about.”
While attendees have reported the smell of marijuana at the events, Fischer added, his department has not received any drug-related complaints about the shows. “To me these are just comments right now, unless we prove otherwise,” Fischer said. “It’s not raised to the level that we would go out en masse and try to make arrests.”
Whether or not the Ohio stories were all comedy, Chappelle’s fondness for psychedelics is well documented. When he was awarded the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor, Chappelle proposed to fellow comedian Aziz Ansari that they trip on psilocybin mushrooms to celebrate. Ansari accepted, dedicating the dose to Twain himself.
Earlier this summer on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, comedian Tiffany Haddish said that she drank mushroom tea at a Chapelle event despite not normally doing drugs. “I went to Dave Chappelle’s to do some comedy,” Haddish said. “I got peer pressured into drinking the tea.”
What followed was a psychedelic trip, Haddish said, in which everyone around her—including actor Jon Hamm—began to resemble actress Phylicia Rashād.
— The Tonight Show (@FallonTonight) August 18, 2020
In his interview with DeGeneres, Rock claimed that drinking the shroom-infused tea is what led Haddish to shave her head. “Tiffany Haddish drank the mushroom tea and cut her hair the next day,” Rock said. “I know she likes to act like, ‘Ooh, Common told me he loved me with no hair.’ No no, it was the mushroom tea talking.”
On a podcast in 2019, Joe Rogan claimed Chapelle once rented out a movie theater for a private film screening and took mushrooms given to him by a stranger. “We have this private screening of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, at one o’clock in the morning,” Rogan said. “Dave is eating mushrooms that some fucking guy gave him in the crowd.”
Beyond laughs, Chappelle’s openness about substance use has also made a serious impact on the drug policy reform debate. Former NAACP head and Maryland gubernatorial candidate Ben Jealous, for example, said it was Chappelle who first convinced him that marijuana should be legal.
In her interview this week with Rock, DeGeneres said she’d be wary of tripping. “I think I would be freaked out,” she said. “Everyone that goes there drinks the mushroom tea?”
“Yeah, man!” Rock said. “We’re in a cornfield in a pandemic. What have you got to lose?”
For now, the comedy celebrations are on hold. Last week, organizers canceled six remaining shows due to coronavirus concerns after what organizers described as “a possible exposure within our inner circle.”

Regulatory Reform Fact Sheet
Senate Bill Provides Narrow Relief while Regulators Contemplate Critical Capital and Liquidity Rule Implementation
Last updated: August 7, 2018
- Senate Bill (S. 2155) Summary: The Senate bill trumpeted for its impressive bipartisan origins went through nearly a year of development, negotiations, and Congressional intrigue before passage. While targeted primarily toward giving relief to community banks (less than $10 billion), the headline policy of the bill would raise the Systemically Important Financial Institution (SIFI) threshold from $50 billion to $250 billion. It also included HVCRE relief for all adherents and limited HMDA relief for small banks and credit unions. Please see “Additional Background & History” section below for more detail on these provisions.
- Who Now Owns Regulatory Reform? The Fed, OCC, FDIC, and other regulators have broad authority to interpret and implement S. 2155, but they also remain bound by Dodd-Frank, Basel and other pre- existing parameters.
- Presidential Support: Deregulation is a key issue for President Trump. The Treasury Department has released three reports on regulatory reform for financial services, which include proposed legislative and regulatory suggestions. Somewhat surprisingly, the proposals are more measured than prior regulatory rollback efforts.
- Zeitgeist at the Agencies: Even before President Trump, regulators were expressing interest in reviewing regulations and targeted reform. That attitude has been reiterated by new agency leaders, but the appetite appears to be limited to the Volcker Rule (expected rule revisions are imminent) and community bank relief.
- Treatment of CRE: Regulators have already proposed a new regulation to partially address concerns with HVCRE. As stated above, there is also general support for Volcker Rule revisions, which could help support CMBS secondary market liquidity. Reforms on capital and liquidity could ease punitive treatment of CMBS and otherwise free up bank capital for lending in depository institutions, though new regulatory leaders have not signaled an inclination for broader revisions to the Basel framework (no matter the asset class).

Formal attire for dogs has been a hot item at boutiques as more people include Fido in their weddings, the Chicago Tribune says.
Male dogs have been showing up at nuptials as ring bearers in formal black tuxedoes, and female dogs have been spotted in white mini-gowns and colorful bridesmaid dresses.
Wedding shop owners say more single people feel adding their pet to the service is acceptable.
"Couples don't have children, but they do have a dog, so it only makes sense that they would stand up in their wedding," Sheila Spitza, co-owner of the Wet Nose Pet Spa, in Geneva, Ill., told the newspaper.
There have even been formal ceremonies for canines tying the knot as bride and groom.
"Who's to say what's right or wrong? Everyone has their own level of eccentricity," Spitza said.
An apparel designer in San Antonio says his wedding clothing for dogs has really taken off, with one of two inquiries a week.

Minecraft has always been a hub of creativity for people across the world. The freedom to build whatever you like means that people have attempted to recreate some of the world’s most recognized fantasy worlds to the best of their ability. Some of these have been small and some have been of a gargantuan 1:1 scale. We’ve already looked at some of the most awe-inspiring original fantasy creations. In this feature, we will be exploring 5 of some of the most amazing recreations of recognizable fantasy worlds.
5. Minas Tirith (Lord of the Rings)
Arguably one of the most impressive structures ever conceived by filmmakers, the cinematic version of Tolkien’s mythical Minas Tirith – the white city that sits comfortably around Ered Nimrais (part of the White Mountains) and its outcrop – was rebuilt by EpicQuestz with an impressive amount of detail. The build is made up of seven distinct layers which include the top layer containing the famed White Tree of Gondor as well as the Citadel and the other layers that get smaller the higher up you go, each equipped with their very own gate.
Not only this, the build includes ten catapults on the towers that are dotted around the map as well as a plethora of unique buildings, each with their own interiors which range from mansions to taverns and even sewers. It’s at times like these where you realize that anything is possible to build in Minecraft, so long as you put your mind to it. This recreation of Minas Tirith epitomises what detail is all about especially when recreating a structure from a world that already exists.
4. The Planet Hoth (Star Wars)
Hypixel is renowned for its Minecraft map-making and the Star Wars-themed adventure map based on the planet of Hoth is by no means one of their smallest projects. What sets this recreation apart from his other work though is the sheer level of interactivity. The creators have made the map playable by choosing one of two classes: Jedi or Trooper. The Jedi, equipped with a lightsaber, provides support for close combat whereas the Trooper relies on guns to shoot from a distance.
What really makes the map fantastic is the design. It boasts stunningly accurate models of the gigantic quadraped AT-AT walkers and accompanying bupedial AT-STs, as well as the rebel base – just how we like it to be. The custom texture pack provided alongside the map means that you can be even more fully immersed into the Star Wars universe by fighting actual Stormtroopers and shooting actual lasers from your Trooper’s gun.
The recreation of Hoth is a constant reminder of how interactivity combined with a pre-existing world will always equate to fun in Minecraft. Being able to walk through and play the map despite not being in an actual Star Wars game is truly extraordinary.
3. Kanto Region (Pokémon)
One of the most celebrated and exemplified gaming series’ in the world has not only been adapted to Minecraft in the form of the Pixelmon mod, but one of its many regions has been entirely recreated in Minecraft. Project Kanto, led by gmng24, is a full rendition of the Kanto region from Pokémon Red & Green which includes every Route, every unique building (Mt. Moon, Victory Road and Indigo Plateau to name a few) and every town from the original.
Thanks to the standard rectangular shapes of the routes and areas within the original game, recreating it in the block-based engine of Minecraft isn’t as difficult as one would have thought, especially with such simple color schemes due to the dated pixel graphics of the original game. It’s genuinely incredible to walk through the entire map and to spot out different places you remember fighting Pokémons in from your childhood. Even the Pokemarts and Pokemon Centers are fully furnished and almost perfectly resemble the originals. It’s great to see some real classics being put into play in Minecraft, especially one as legendary as Pokémon.
2. Westeros (Game of Thrones)
Arguably one of the most famous of all recreations in Minecraft, the server WesterosCraft has dedicated absolutely staggering amounts of time and money into creating one of the most detailed and diverse environments ever seen in Minecraft, all based around the TV adaptation of George R. R. Martin’s Game of Thrones universe of Westeros. The server relies on builder applications for users to come on and contribute to the ever-expanding world that they are recreating.
You can walk around the entire world by just connecting to their server, or you can simply sit there in awe at the amazing 3D renders they have made of the world. It features everything from everywhere including King’s Landing, the Wall and Castle Black, Harrenhal, Dragonstone, Lannisport and much much more. What makes this recreation even more diverse is the constant need from the organizers to update it and improve it by systematically providing them with projects to complete.
With the visual aid of the TV series and the descriptive talents of George R.R. Martin’s book series, they have every asset possible at their disposal in recreating the wonderfully varied universe that we all know and love.
1. Hyrule (The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time)
Last but by no means the least, this formidable work of art strikes deep into everyone’s memories and is a true masterpiece. Kezsonaj has managed to single-handedly recreate the Zelda: Ocarina of Time inside Minecraft, a project which took him just over 6 months to complete, working single-handedly.
This project is so mighty that ZeldaUniverse.net conducted an interview with the creator asking him about his process and what drew him into recreating one of the most recognizable worlds in the gaming industry. The only way to fully appreciate this outstanding map is to watch the trailer below or to just gaze in awe at the renders Kezsonaj has made.
Kezsonaj, we applaud you for having gone to such great lengths to truly define the meaning of a fantasy world recreation in Minecraft.

Japanese attribute weather as the single biggest reason for their whisky being so amazing.
They always say that it`s all about the weather. Summer brings in sweet fragrances, green leaves, a grassy touch, winter brings in the warmth inside the distillery have a “good feel” impact on the whisky, spring brings in flowers and autumn offers leaves and a calming effect on the whisky. The climate and centuries old tradition for whisky making resulting in several distilleries and common support infrastructure. In Japan, they respect the traditional ways but at the same time are constantly innovating and challenging themselves to make a unique whisky which is a global icon.
Two of the most influential figures in the history of Japanese whisky are Shinjiro Torii and Masataka Taketsuru. Torii was a pharmaceutical wholesaler and the founder of Kotobukiya (later to become Suntory). Shinjiro foresaw a future for western style spirits in Japan. Japan was emerging on the world stage at the time, and he wanted to produce a Japanese-made whisky that the country could be proud of. To start with, the whisky needed to appeal to the Japanese palate and be enjoyed throughout the world.
The whisky needed to appeal to the Japanese palate, and be enjoyed throughout the world. Whisky production in Japan began around 1870, but the first commercial production was in 1924, when the country’s first distillery—Yamazaki opened. Japan is the second largest producer of Single Malt whisky in the world.
In 2009, The Taj Mahal Hotel, New Delhi successfully launched contemporary Japanese cuisine restaurant – Wasabi by Morimoto, and then took the connoisseur’s to the next level of food and Whisky from Japan symbolizes the harmony between Japanese nature & its people.
Mostly non peated malt and wooden & stainless steel wash backs are used in production.
The whisky is a fine confluence of the vagaries of nature and art of its artisans, who craft this magnificent spirit. Japanese whisky enjoys all four seasons during maturation capturing the best that each has to offer; in fact they feel that they have 24 seasons. The style of Japanese whisky is more similar to that of Scotch whisky than Bourbon whiskey, and thus the spelling typically follows the Scotch convention (omitting the letter “e”). A suitable environment, mild climate with 4 seasons, pure water preserved in greens and producing a variety of Whiskies at 1 distillery are key to the Japanese nectar. The taste is well Balanced, Mild, Delicate and Sweet Elegant influenced by Japanese Oak.
There are several companies producing whisky in Japan. The two most well-known are Suntory and Nikka. Both of these produce blended as well as single malt whiskies. There are currently around ten whisky distilleries in Japan.
Leading brand Yamazaki is owned by Suntory, located between Osaka and Kyoto. Suntory can produce over 100 different types of Whisky (Yamazaki can produce 60 types.)
Yoichi is owned by Nikka, located on the Northern island of Hokkaidō. Nikka is a part of Asahi Breweries.
Miyagikyo – also Nikka, is located to the North of the main island, near the city of Sendai.
Some of Suntory whiskies are enjoyed for their subtle taste & rich aroma and are well matched to the Indian palate, since the oriental spice is welcome “food note” in India. These whiskies carry woody & spicy notes, are an assuring gold colour and have raisins, cranberry, chocolate, rich fruit cake, almond and zesty orange taste.
The Japanese have always enjoyed food and drink in harmony, the whisky bars of Osaka are a witness to the same. As such, whiskies are subtle & pair well with food. The Japanese emphasize on the taste of the whisky as well, not just the nose of the whisky.

Pakistan wants ICC to take action against India for donning camouflaged caps in Ranchi
The caps were distributed to the players by the veteran MS Dhoni.
Updated - Mar 10, 2019 10:17 am
The Indian cricket team took a heartfelt step of wearing camouflaged caps in the third ODI of their ongoing five-match ODI series against Australia at the JSCA Stadium in Ranchi. The caps were distributed by the evergreen MS Dhoni, the hometown boy in yesterday’s gave, before the match. The idea was mooted by the veteran, who’s a Lieutenant General in the Indian Army.
Thereafter, Virat Kohli, the Indian captain, also mentioned that they would be donating the match fees to the National Defence Fund (NDF). The step was taken in order to pay tribute to the CRPF personnel, who were martyred following a horrendous terror attack in the Pulwama district of Jammu and Kashmir, carried out by Pakistan-based terrorist organization Jaish-e-Mohammad.
“It’s just not Cricket”
In the meantime, the Indian team, donning the caps didn’t go down well with Pakistan by any stretch of the imagination. Pakistan Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi mentioned that the International Cricket Council (ICC) should take action against India.
“The world saw that the Indian cricket team wore military caps instead of their own, did ICC not see this? We think that it is the ICC’s responsibility to take notice of this without the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) bringing it up,” Qureshi was quoted as saying to the Pakistan media.
Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry also expressed concerns, putting up a tweet that read: “It’s just not Cricket. And if the Indian team will not be stopped, Pak cricket team should wear black bands to remind The World about Indian atrocities in Kashmir.”
India and Pakistan have been at loggerheads with each other over quite some time and the Pulwama incident has worsened their relationship to a large extent. The situation has deteriorated to such an extent that many people now want Pakistan to be boycotted in the upcoming World Cup where the arch-rivals are set to lock horns on Sunday, June 16 at the Old Trafford in Manchester.

In early 2015 I was searching for a second income, an extra wage to help pay the bills. I’d had a go at MLM but found all the extra work time consuming. I started looking into binary options and in doing some research I came across a BOTS review. Straight away I was impressed but wanted to do some more research and over the next couple of weeks I found myself drawn to the site on a few occasions and in May 2015 I decided to give it a go.

I found this class by accident. I was already doing some forex and binary when I found MT’s site. Getting texts when to buy and when to sell from the other service I was using was a complete joke. I couldn’t stand the waiting and wondering if we were getting a text or not. It always made me wonder where they are getting the signals. How did they know this and why wasn't it more consistent. One thing for sure they did put a lot of hype to get you to join.
Then I found a video of MT’s session. Read more...

Obama’s 23 Executive Orders, Don’t be Fooled
January 18, 2013 in Guns
After weeks of threats and esoteric statements about the Obama administration’s Gun Control Committee, the president finally revealed what exactly he plans to do. As promised, Obama issued 23 sweeping executive actions everything from mental health to “gun safety” (which by the way is a term that will be inserted wherever it’s beneficial to the government). Not surprisingly, are the glaring absence of assault weapons and high-capacity magazine bans.
Were all the pro-gun lobbyists wrong? No. In fact, the Obama administration plans to push legislation through Congress. It doesn’t seem that Obama is quite as bold on this issue as he has been on health care and illegal immigration. This is the same president that said in 2010, “So I’ll order an Executive Order, that will allow us to go forward. Because I refuse to pass this problem to another generation of Americans.” Another statement of his in 2011, “I know some people want me to bypass Congress and change the laws on my own. Believe me, right now dealing with Congress the idea… But believe me the idea of doing things on my own is very tempting.”
The above quotes from the president are very telling. Everything from his body language and facial expressions indicate that if he could get away with it, he would and indeed he did on other issues. The latter quote, in the middle of his statement he pauses, while the crowd of sycophants chant, “Yes we can”. Obviously our public school system has failed to transmit to the citizenry what exactly are the functions of the Executive branch. However, what is even more pathetic is the lack of care or knowledge concerning what historically an Executive Order is for. Clearly these actions put forth by the early presidents were only to help in the administration of the Executive branch and not a way to bypass the Legislative or Judicial branches…

Copper is an element required for cell proliferation and angiogenesis. Human prostate cancer xenografts with increased 64Cu radioactivity were visualized previously by PET using 64CuCl2 as a radiotracer (64CuCl2 PET). This study aimed to determine whether the increased tumor 64Cu radioactivity was due to increased cellular uptake of 64Cu mediated by human copper transporter 1 (hCtr1) or simply due to nonspecific binding of ionic 64CuCl2 to tumor tissue. In addition, the functional role of hCtr1 in proliferation of prostate cancer cells and tumor growth was also assessed. Methods: A lentiviral vector encoding short-hairpin RNA specific for hCtr1 (Lenti-hCtr1- shRNA) was constructed for RNA interference-mediated knockdown of hCtr1 expression in prostate cancer cells. The degree of hCtr1 knockdown was determined by Western blot, and the effect of hCtr1 knockdown on copper uptake and proliferation were examined in vitro by cellular 64Cu uptake and cell proliferation assays. The effects of hCtr1 knockdown on tumor uptake of 64Cu were determined by PET quantification and tissue radioactivity assay. The effects of hCtr1 knockdown on tumor growth were assessed by PET/CT and tumor size measurement with a caliper. Results: RNA interference-mediated knockdown of hCtr1 was associated with the reduced cellular uptake of 64Cu and the suppression of prostate cancer cell proliferation in vitro. At 24 h after intravenous injection of the tracer 64CuCl2, the 64Cu uptake by the tumors with knockdown of hCtr1 (4.02 ± 0.31 percentage injected dose per gram [%ID/g] in Lenti-hCtr1-shRNA-PC-3 and 2.30 ± 0.59 %ID/g in Lenti-hCtr1-shRNA-DU- 145) was significantly lower than the 64Cu uptake by the control tumors without knockdown of hCtr1 (7.21 ± 1.48 %ID/g in Lenti-SCR-shRNA-PC-3 and 5.57 ± 1.20 % ID/g in Lenti-SCR-shRNA-DU-145, P , 0.001) by PET quantification. Moreover, the volumes of prostate cancer xenograft tumors with knockdown of hCtr1 (179 ± 111 mm3 for Lenti-hCtr1-shRNAPC- 3 or 39 ± 22 mm3 for Lenti-hCtr1-shRNA-DU-145) were significantly smaller than those without knockdown of hCtr1 (536 ± 191 mm3 for Lenti- SCR-shRNA-PC-3 or 208 ± 104 mm3 for Lenti-SCR-shRNA-DU- 145, P > 0.01). Conclusion: Overall, data indicated that hCtr1 is a promising theranostic target, which can be further developed for metabolic imaging of prostate cancer using 64CuCl2 PET/CT and personalized cancer therapy targeting copper metabolism.

When people hear the word “abuse,” oftentimes what comes to mind is physical abuse because it leaves physical evidence. And oftentimes, the narrative of physical abuse is portrayed between people in a relationship or a young child being hit by a bigger, stronger parent.
What is not talked about is the abuse between an parent and their older, adult child, especially when it’s emotional and psychological abuse. Emotional abuse is recognized by Utah’s courts under the general definition of abuse, but by nature, it’s difficult to identify since it will never leave a physical mark.
Instead, it will leave mental scars in the forms of gaslighting, threats, breaking items in front of the victim, humiliation, belittling and deflecting the blame for the abuse onto the victim. This subtlety can make it hard to identify it until the victim is past the age of 18 and is therefore no longer a child in the eyes of the courts.
I didn’t recognize it until I was 21, and my father burst into my room. I didn’t recognize it until he grabbed my dog by the collar and hurled him across the room, knocking over my chair I used to store laundry. I didn’t recognize it until I drove to school in tears, holding it together until a complete stranger asked me, “Are you okay?” and then breaking down because I was not okay.
It was only at the point where I talked to someone and asked the question, “Is my dad abusive?” that reality started to fall into place because, “You already know the answer.”
And indeed, I already knew the answer. I remembered being quiet when my dad was angry. I remembered trying to be happy when he was stressed so he wouldn’t turn his anger on me.
I remembered being 17 and trying to be helpful, only to make a mistake and hear him say, “For someone so smart, you are so f**king stupid.”
I remembered feeling like I could open up to him, only to be given a week to move everything out of his house, find insurance and a phone plan. All I wanted to do was to tell him how I felt, to reconcile, and I was kicked from my home.
My father never hit me, but my heart still raced when he loomed over me, his face red and voice raised, saying I needed to shape up or else.
“Or else.” It’s such a subtle threat. If I didn’t listen, what else would he have done? Would he strike me? Or would it be a reasonable punishment, like grounding? Ultimately, it didn’t matter. I thought that so long as I was a good daughter and did my work, I didn’t have to be scared.
When he “disciplined” my brothers, I stayed in my room, ignoring the angry voice of my father yelling at my silent brothers who could only sit there and take it. It didn’t matter; it wasn’t me. I did well in school, making the honor roll, and I worked hard so there wouldn’t be a reason to yell at me.
I thought I did everything right, yet when I mentioned how anxious I was to come home or leave home to do something, he told me to leave. He said that there was nothing keeping me there. He said I was the abuser for taking everything he had done for me and throwing it in his face. And then he left, leaving me alone to my thoughts.
Despite everything he said, I felt relief. Ultimately, I had made the decision to leave. I would live with my mom, leaving behind my dog, my brothers, and my step-siblings to be, not to mention the feeling of a home I had lived in for six years, the things keeping me there.
But I would also be leaving behind the anxiety that kept me up until 11, that caused me to grind my teeth at night so badly they ached in the morning, that stopped all my vivid and colorful dreams at night. I would be leaving behind the anxiety that I didn’t do enough before I left the house and he would be angry when I returned.
There are some things I learned about emotional abuse, such as the duality of the person doing the abuse. He said he did it out of love. And I believe him. For 21 years, he’s been a good father, giving me advice, letting me cry into his chest and helping me with my car. And he wasn’t angry all the time, just sometimes, and during those times, my brothers and I learned to stay away.
For a long time, those good moments overwhelmed the bad. We had adventures together, we hung out together as just the two of us, and we bonded over video games together. I definitely know he loves me and I love him.
Therein lies the thing about emotional abuse. A person can love you, and they will still hurt you. A person can love you, and they will make you feel worthless. A person can love you, and they will still abuse you. You may not have a single physical mark on you, but the words they said will burn into mind, twisting your perceptions of yourself and making you doubt who you are.
And because of all of that, when you, the victim of their abuse, learns this, you’re left with this problem of reconciling your idea of the person and who they can be and the horrible reality of what they did to you. You will be so confused, especially at the beginning. You will have no idea what to do, what to think.
There will be triggers. When someone raises their voice, you will flinch, fight or flight will kick in, and you will have to remind yourself that you are safe.
But know that you’re not alone.
Others may not be in the exact same situation as you, but they will be in similar ones. For me, it was a father; for you, a mother; for someone else, a spouse, but it doesn’t matter. What matters is that relationships should not be based on fear. You should not have to feel afraid to speak your mind, to leave the house, to make mistakes, to be a human being in all your flawed glory.
You don’t have to leave if you don’t want to or if you can’t, but there are people who can help. The National Domestic Abuse Hotline will help, online or over the phone. Weber State University give its students free counseling sessions with therapists who will listen to you and help you feel like a person again.
Ultimately though, how you recover is up to you. If therapy doesn’t work for you, you don’t have to go. But it’s important to realize that you are a person, not an object of abuse or an outlet of frustration, anger and pain. You, as a person, matter, and you don’t have to live in fear.
Editor’s note: This article was edited to clarify the type of abuse for context.
