19 Aug 2005 Economic Growth Remains Strong and Widespread
On most every front, housing, manufacturing, jobs, consumer demand, jobs, and corporate profits, the economy looks strong. Growth should be sustainable for the foreseeable future, as long as the Fed doesn’t go too far with their rate increases. Unfortunately, recent inflation data is not sufficiently benign to suggest the Fed may slow their pace any time soon. On the positive side though, oil prices which topped $67.00 last Friday may have peaked.
As our friend Don Hays points out, the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve is only 244,000 barrels away from being filled to capacity. It has been a significant drain on the world’s oil supply oil since President Bush’s directive to fill the reserve in November of 2001. Just recently though, the American Petroleum Institute reported that U.S. oil demand fell 3% year over year in the month of July. This was the largest monthly year over year drop in three years. U.S. oil demand typically leads world oil demand. News reports fromGermanyandIndiaare also showing diminishing demand.
The National Association of Home builders reported that homebuilder optimism fell for the second month in August as rising mortgage rates threatens to erode the record pace of home sales. Mortgage rates have risen for six weeks. Housing was the workhorse of the economy during the early stages of recovery and has sustained its growth to present. A slowing is widely expected, but certainly not a collapse.
Manufacturing may now be moving into a position of leadership. The New York Fed reported that manufacturing in that state expanded more than expected. It represented the third month of expansion and reinforced expectations that manufacturing would add to economic growth this quarter as production builds up to replenish inventories that were drawn down from April to June.
International investors increased their holdings of U.S. assets in June by $71.2 billion, the most in four months. Corporate bonds were the big winners as yields on government debt declined to 3.9% during the period, the lowest in a year. The inflows were more than enough to cover the $59 billion trade deficit in June. Also supporting the dollar’s climb, the Congressional Budget Office said it expected the federal budget deficit to fall to $331 billion in the 2005 fiscal year on higher tax receipts, according to the Wall Street Journal.
Prices paid by consumers rose a half a percent in July, the most in three months, led by new record prices in fuel costs. Incentives on automobiles and cheaper apparel helped keep the overall number low. When food and energy are excluded, the index rose only .1%, smaller than expected.
But prices at the producer level didn’t fare so well in July, according to the government. The Producer Price Index rose 1% while the core rate, which excludes food and energy, rose .5%, the most since January. The effects on consumers will likely be muted though as competition in many industries is strong enough to limit the ability of companies to pass along higher costs to customers reducing their profitability. Notable exceptions include freight and express carriers which have been successful tacking on fuel surcharges.
Jobs data suggests that companies are adding workers as the economy grows. Until recently, productivity gains were sufficiently large to meet the rising demand on producers, but it can only go so far. It may be that companies must now add new people to meet rising production requirements.
With over 80% of companies reporting this quarter, corporate earnings are up an average of 24% over the same period last year. Leaders include Internet companies, Real Estate Holding and Development, Oil Equipment and Services, and Biotechnology. Among the losers are Automobiles, Recreational Products, Pharmaceuticals, Mortgage Finance, and Semiconductors.
Stocks are undervalued now relative to other investments such as corporate and government bonds. The real estate phenomenon is likely diminishing as well. There is a huge global glut of cash on the sidelines too. Among the S&P 500 alone, corporations are sitting on over $600 billion in cash; that’s almost 80% of the revenues they generated during the last four quarters. The fact that businesses don’t need to borrow money contributes to low corporate bond yields and makes stocks all the more attractive from a safety and growth standpoint. The combination of low inflation, growing global economies, and surplus cash could make stocks the most attractive choice for several years to come.

Climate-conscious teenagers have held a protest against global warming outside their school.
Pupils at St Christopher’s High School Academy, in Accrington, were inspired by the recent Extinction Rebellion protests and young activist Greta Thunberg.
They left registration last Friday morning, September 20 to bring the attention of the public and younger students to global issues, and had received the backing of teachers.
Wendy Litherland, science teacher and director of sustainability, said she was very proud of the action.
She said: “There have been two lots of protests - the first was wearing a piece of green.
“Over 50 per cent of staff have supported the children by wearing green to work, from teachers, support to dinner ladies.
“The children have managed to keep lessons and also show that they want action taken.
“We have had other children asking questions they wouldn’t normally ask.
“We have also had some assemblies for younger children to explain what it’s about.
“The teachers have compromised, and they’ve been very grown up about it.”
She said staff have tried to explain the importance of looking after their future, and they want to be able to have a future.
She added: “I am very proud of them. Teenagers are known to be apathetic, but well-informed children can make good judgements. They should be commended.”
Wendy added that the school does encourage their students to think about the climate change agenda.
She continued: “We are very supportive of our students’ endeavours for the environment and their understanding of the importance of the present issues.
“The fact that our students are knowledgeable enough to know about these present issues, often gives them the edge in gaining employment or places at universities.
"The fact they were mature enough to work alongside the school, is a real credit to the young people of today.”
Sixth form students took it upon themselves to contact LancsLive and other media outlets in person, to help raise awareness of their campaign.

The Atlanta Hawks were recently ranked #1 in NBA game experience.
If you’ve recently been to a game, you know the music plays a big part. To kick off International Women’s Month, we reached out to the person spinning the records, Chika Takai, who is an official DJ for the Hawks. Chika moved from her native Japan to Atlanta in 2014. She was a Hawks dancer and team captain before moving into a DJ position. She’s also a sought after DJ for corporate and community events in the U.S. and Japan.
When Chika isn’t entertaining the crowds, she supports The Study Abroad Foundation of the Arts (SAFA) nonprofit to create professionally, academically, and culturally enriching study-abroad experiences for those in various industries, including the arts.
Here are her Top 5 Favorite Songs by Atlanta artists.
1. “Welcome to Atlanta” (Jermaine Dupri) This is literally the first song that came to mind to start my list, and I’m sure it’s the same for a lot of others, too! How do you learn about Atlanta’s hip-hop scene from 6,856 miles away? In Japan, this song gave me the Atlanta hip-hop royalty version of the who, what, when, and where in Atlanta. Jermaine Dupri’s original version started a trend that other cities tried to emulate, but none quite accomplished the global reach of this classic.
2. “Good Time” (Niko Moon) Atlanta is a swirl of so many different musical vibes. It’s one of the reasons I love it here! These different vibes all represent a distinct aspect of Atlanta, and have their own special musical take. This song is so Atlanta too… Maybe more of a broader Georgia music scene than Atlanta, but nonetheless, this song represents an experience that every true Atlantan knows is right around the corner.
3. “Caught up” (Usher) When I think about dance in Atlanta, I think about Usher. His lyrics flowed from my bedroom window in Japan as I pressed play, then pause so many times trying to emulate dance moves from this video. I took bits and pieces of his dance style and tried to incorporate them into my own. The pop lockin, slides, and footwork that I try to inject into my DJ performances all come to mind every time I hear this song.
4. “Hey Ya!” (Outkast) The Outkast duo are global musical, fashion, and artistic icons, but most of all they are Atlanta. What they are, is also what Atlanta is… musical trendsetters, birthers of fashion styles, and masters of merging various styles together to create something new and fresh. This song represents musical genius that appeals across race and genre. This is, and always will be, my goal as an entertainer.
5. “Swag Surfin’” (Fast Life Yungstaz) If you have been to an Atlanta Hawks basketball game in the past few years, nothing has become more synonymous with Hawks basketball and crowd participation than “Swag Surfin’.” One of the highlights of being an official DJ with the Atlanta Hawks is “Swag Surfin’” with our fans. I love this so much that I have incorporated it into my performances from Buckhead to Tokyo!

Also, optical properties of transparent materials change a little bit with the wavelengths or colors of light, so there is some additional distortion, known as chromatic aberration. An example of this type of telescope is the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope. Aleck Loker. A larger image to start with will allow the eyepiece to produce a higher magnification. This is because they use a mirror as the main optic and not a more expensive lens. Further information: History of the telescope. Wide FOV eyepieces work best at low magnifications with large apertures, where the relative size of an object is viewed at higher comparative standards with minimal magnification giving an overall brighter image to begin with.
A telescope is an optical instrument that makes distant objects appear magnified by using an arrangement of lenses or curved mirrors and lenses.
Modern telescopes typically use CCDs instead of film for recording images. This is the sensor. The part of the telescope that gathers the light, called the objective, determines the type of telescope.
A refractor telescope uses a glass lens as.
The highest Barlow lens delivers x magnification, and the eyepieces are . Fortunately, most modern telescopes are sold as complete systems, which is.
In astronomical telescopes the rotated view is normally not corrected, since it does not affect how the telescope is used. The detection of very high energy gamma rays, with shorter wavelength and higher frequency than regular gamma rays, requires further specialization.
Magnification is often misleading as the optical power of the telescope, its characteristic is the most misunderstood term used to describe the observable world. The main specifications for a really useful first telescope should be: a minimum aperture of at least 90mm for a refractor or mm for a reflector and 1,mm focal length for each.
See adaptive opticsspeckle imaging and optical interferometry. However it does give beautiful views of the brighter planets and the Moon. Main article: History of the telescope.
Where Did the Modern Telescope Come From Universe Today
Kids learn about telescopes in the science of physics including lenses, mirrors, refracting, reflecting, the history, and the Hubble Space Telescope. But is it possible to use CCDs in place of a mirror or lens entirely? Even modern telescopes place a filter between the incoming light and the CCDs/ cameras to.
This telescope represents the ultimate first refracting scope for the beginner.

These are very easy to set up and simple to use. Knowing the true FOV of eyepieces is very useful since it can be used to compare what is seen through the eyepiece to printed or computerized star charts that help identify what is observed.
A different type of telescope uses a concave primary mirror as its main optical element.

|Telescope mirrors are coated with a shiny metal, usually silver, aluminum, or, occasionally, gold, to make them highly reflective.
If you think about it, it was just a matter of time before the first telescope was invented. The amount of light a telescope can collect increases with the size of the aperture.
Long focal lengths are most suitable for small objects and studying fine detail, for example on the Moon and the planets. Canada under the stars.
Manner Amateur Observational Sidewalk. Concave lenses make good eyepieces because they enable the eye to more closely inspect the virtual image cast by a convex lens.
Describe the three basic components of a modern system for measuring. Telescopes that collect visible radiation use a lens or mirror to gather the light.
He did this by combining several lenses together as a unit. Most manufacturers listed above have a similar range. The mount is a simple Alt azimuth with a turntable for rotation and a trunnion for up and down movement. Because the mirror is curved the light is focused into a point where an image is formed.

Convex lenses came out of glass ground in a way to correct far-sighted vision. Its light-gathering power is probably its most important feature. Chapter 3: Telescopes.
The limitation here is the pupil diameter; it's an unfortunate result and degrades with age.

Undeniably composed with the ear in mind, Manesiotis offers highly aestheticized poems that beg to be felt deeply, as she feels them, in the bone. Traversing themes of love and loss, the Greek homeland of her ancestors, religious ritual and death among the young, her subjects are explored with the precision of a lapidary.
A series of poems about her friend Costa, a dancer and choreographer, successfully balance the pathos of mourning with the fortitude of acceptance: “How strange that you appear, three years dead, whole/ and somehow, free, on the night we began/ dropping bombs on a country in the Middle east.” Here, lament and elegy serve as reconciliation for unexpected tragedy, taking to hand a task that is well suited to a poet determined to preserve experiences in text.
Elsewhere, the emotional content of her poems is less convincing, perhaps because her standards are set for beauty and sound, rather than the gritty or unruly plots of ordinary life. The result is artful language and a sense that the world is being interpreted through an overly sympathetic lens, perhaps as an escape from things that might not always invite obvious poetic association.
Admirably, Manesiotis is devoted to the finest details, laboring to recount obscure specifics as perceived through her sharp shooter’s eyes. Her training in the visual arts, primarily sculpture, is evidenced throughout this debut collection. At her best, movement and form, often of the body, contribute to a dynamic, 3-D quality in many of the poems: “smooth/ forearm, the white marble’s slow curve through the inner/ elbow. The forearm braceleted, a scar circling the young flesh.” This characteristic has the potential to distinguish her among poets in that she bows down at the altars of lyric and image, evoking multifaceted poetry through vision and intellect.
The liberal use of Greek words and references is colorful, though at times thwarting, leaving one to puzzle at pronunciation, flipping back and forth to the explanatory notes at the back of the book. Regardless, the sounds are enticing, and for best effect this volume should be read aloud beside a crumbling chapel, surrounded by white rocks and the Mediterranean sky.

Check out this six-minute trailer for THE SECRET LIFE OF WALTER MITTY!
Papa Vinyard here, now here's a little somethin' for ya...
A little less than a month before its official release, and we get this six-minute extended trailer for THE SECRET LIFE OF WALTER MITTY that mixes footage we've seen with some new stuff to give us our most extensive look at the film thus far. Unlike the previous trailers, which mostly highlighted Mitty's fantasies and the gorgeous photography by Stuard Dryburgh, this one makes more of a point of Walter's personal journey to add some verve into his life by going above and beyond the call of duty of his job. It's this personal focus of the character that really defines the film, and even if this "middle-aged working guy grabs the bull by the horns"-type premise has been done, it's Stiller's respect for Mitty and his spiritual growth that keeps the film from dovetailing into cliche and sentiment.
The trailer is still trying to sell the film's laughs, which are relatively few and far between, particularly in the latter half, and I can't imagine most moviegoers being satisfied when they realize that the Ben Stiller awkward comedy they bought tickets for is actually a warm, deeply life-affirming drama about self-actualization and finding your sense of bravery in the modern world. For those who can get over the lukewarm buzz on the film, which calls it a "Super Bowl commercial" with the dramatic weight of a minor ENTOURAGE episode," it should be a rewarding experience. I think the film is a cute, impeccably-produced story that escapes Stiller's comfort zone and shows his ability to create bizarre, unconventional moments and narratives using big-budget Hollywood talent and techniques.
Just don't be surprised if you realize that more than half its laughs were revealed in the marketing (which, thankfully, omitted a late cameo that my audience greeted like a close friend showing up late for dinner).
THE SECRET LIFE OF WALTER MITTY begins on Christmas Day.

An unintended consequence of MiFIR
A side effect of the MiFID2/MiFIR regulation is that major investment research houses have been given an unwelcome reality check. It appears that their research is essentially worthless.
Pre-MiFID2/MiFIR large financial institutions drove market participants toward their market operations by offering them the following deal: You trade with us, we add a bit to the trading commissions and you get access to our valuable investment research that you can use when making your own investment decisions or advice to your clients.
With the MiFID2/MiFIR regulation this kind of underhand deals have been put to the test.
From 3 January 2018 this “bundling” of services was simply outlawed. For two reasons: the pricing was totally intransparent. And worse, the research services of big banks were widely assumed to be subject to pressure to serve not only the trading desk, but also the treasury desk. Let me explain.
What research services really do
Banks are allowed to take some risks on their own books and this is typically handled by the “treasury” department or desk. Since the banks are now allowed to carry much less risk than a decade ago, it is more important that the returns on such holdings are top-notch.
Now assume that the research department signals that they are about to publish an analysis likely to stimulate investor interest and drive up stock prices. Obviously, the treasury department may ahead of such publication build up a holding of stock in that precise company. The trading desk may just happen to do the same.
If the publication of an analysis has the expected impact and customers line up to buy the stock, the bank will earn on the trading and on its own book. But this would be insider trading or market abuse???
To calm such suspicions banks have sworn that there were “chinese walls” between the research department and all other departments. A multitude of stories have of course demonstrated that the walls were not Chinese but more likely Japanese paper walls.
In comes MiFIR and the demand to unbundle the research services. This means that the trading commissions would only cover the transaction costs.
The incredibly shrinking price tag
As a result, larger banks were forced to sell their research services separately. It did not go well as they would now have to put a price tag on their services.
The first offers were that “full access” would cost upwards of 1 mEUR per year. Then it fell to 500 kEUR and then further to 250 kEUR and in the end the price fell to zero, in the sense that access would be given to anyone trading more than x mEUR per year but at commissions comparable directly to commissions charged by trading operations without research services.
Some banks have closed their research departments. Others have scaled them down dramatically, redeploying analysts to the far more profitable private equity trade. Some banks have spun their research off into a separate company.
But the conclusion is clear. MiFID2/MiFIR threw a spotlight on one of the cozier arrangements in the world of securities trading.
Subject to the spotlight of MiFID2/MIFIR spotlight, research departments wilted and disappeared. At the end of the day, the research was in most cases shown to be sophisticated marketing tools without real value – except for the banks themselves.
We bet that at the end of the day, not one single retail investor will have suffered losses because of the downfall of the equity research department.

Basement & Radon Solutions installed a Sub-Slab/Sub-Membrane radon mitigation system. The radon suction line proposed was installed in the unfinished basement slab. After diagnostics for system performance, a 5″ diameter hole was drilled through the concrete slab to the earth below. This is where the suction pit was created. A 4″ schedule 40 PVC suction line was installed in the slab and sealed. The suction line was then extended to the crawl space. A radon suction line was installed on the ground in the crawl space, our radon 9 mil vapor barrier covers the suction line and the earth in the crawl space. The suction line was connected to the basement suction line and then extended to the right exterior of the home. The radon fan was mounted on the right exterior of the home with the vent pipe extending to above the roofline to expel the radon gas safely. Then, a manometer gauge (homeowner radon fan monitoring vacuum gauge) was installed on the suction line pipe in the basement for easy viewing. Varmint and rain guard PVC exhaust caps are installed on all Basement & Radon Solutions exterior radon systems that prevent rain, debris, small animals and birds from entering the vent pipe, guarding and extending the life of your radon system. If desired the exterior system can be painted in the future for added aesthetics. Radon System Alarms are now required on all new residential radon systems. This unit is a vacuum monitoring device utilizing piezo resistive pressure sensor (PPS) technology. This alarm will provide an audible and visual indication to alert the homeowner when the radon system is not moving sufficient air in the event of a power loss to the system. Lastly, we preformed a post radon test that came back at 3.4 pCi/l!
It was a pleasure helping Elizabeth make her home happy, healthy & safe again!

The three European all-star’s who are free to sign pre-contract agreements in January
In the world of football, there is nothing better than your club finding a bargain.
With teams across Europe and their managers already planning on bolstering their squads in January, there is no doubt that sides will be mapping out their Christmas wishlist.
Thanks to the long overdue decision to shorten the transfer windows, the need to get business completed in a timely manner is quickly becoming a priority for most clubs.
So, with the market fast approaching, who are the three European all-star’s who are running down their contracts and could be available on a cut-price deal in January?
Aaron Ramsey – Arsenal
While Unai Emery’s revolution at Arsenal may have made plenty of headlines, the future of Aaron Ramsey has also been a huge talking point in North London.
Spending a decade at the Emirates, many believed that the 27-year-old was the leading contender to take permanent possession of Arsenal’s armband.
However, with the arrival of the former PSG boss, Ramsey’s improved deal was taken off the table and the midfielder has been told he can leave on a free next summer.
A man who is certainly in demand, while Ramsey has indicated that he would prefer to stay in the Premier League, some of Europe’s most prestigious sides are still trying to get the Welshman’s signature.
A moment of magic 🧙
Despite reported interest from Manchester United, Chelsea, and Liverpool, Serie A powerhouses Juventus now appear to be in pole position.
Looking to hijack Bayern Munch’s move, The Old Lady are lining up a £200,000-a-week deal to lure Ramsey to Turin. The defending Serie A champions will also have no problem in handing the central midfielder a four-year deal.
During his time with Arsenal, the 57-cap Wales international has helped the Gunners to three FA Cup titles and was also named their Player of the Season last year.
Per his current contract, Ramsey will be free to sign a pre-contract agreement with any foreign side as of January 1st.
Adrien Rabiot – PSG
Much like Ramsey, their is another midfielder who will be topping many sides January wishlist.
That man will be PSG’s talented 23-year-old Adrien Rabiot.
Regarded to be one of the most talented young players across Europe, it appears that the Frenchman’s tenure at the Parc des Princes is quickly drawing to an end.
Despite PSG’s numerous attempts to offer Rabiot a new and improved contract in Paris, the four-time Ligue 1 champion has his heart set on a move to Spain.
Free to sign a pre-contract as of January, Barcelona are reportedly preparing a €10 million-per-year deal for the midfielder.
With Arturo Vidal struggling to make any kind of impact in Catalonia following his summer switch, the defending La Liga champions are looking to strengthen their midfield options.
While there might have been some controversy surrounding his absence from France’s World Cup winning squad, Rabiot has once again played a crucial role in PSG’s start to the season.
Most passes in Europe's top five leagues this season:

With the defending champions already racking up a 13 point advantage at the top of the Ligue 1 table, Rabiot has featured in 12 of PSG’s 13 league matches.
Club president Nasser Al-Khelaifi is also understood to now be personally involved in negotiations in an attempt to try and tie Rabiot down to a new deal.
Although Barcelona have accepted that they will not be able to rival PSG financially, the La Liga giants hope Rabiot’s desire to move to the Nou Camp will outway Les Parisiens lucrative extension.
Diego Godin – Atletico Madrid
With still much confusion surrounding his long-term future at Atletico Madrid, Diego Godin could be a man in extremely high demand come January.
Almost universally regarded to be one of the best central defenders across Europe, the 32-year-old has under 12-months left on his current contract and has a release clause of just £22.5million.
Cue Manchester United.
Despite Godin briefly flirting with a move to the Premier League on deadline day, his flirting with The Red Devils was seen to be nothing more than a negotiation tactic to leverage an improved deal from Los Colchoneros.
However, despite it appearing that a new contract was close to being agreed, Godin is yet to put pen to paper on a new deal and clubs across Europe will be on red alert.
Captain Courageous! 💪
— LALIGA English (@LaLigaEN) November 10, 2018
Although it might have been a sluggish start for Diego Simeone’s men, Atletico sit just one point adrift of Barcelona and their defensive record has once again caught the eye.
Spearheaded by their iconic captain, the Madrid based side have now kept six clean sheets in La Liga this season, the best defensive record in the whole of Spain’s top-tier.
While Mourinho and certainly Ed Woodward will be cautious about being burnt by Godin for the second time, there is no doubt that the Uruguay captain would be a much-needed addition to a struggling United defence.

SMALLWOOD FAMILY HISTORY
THE COAL MERCHANTS FROM HEANOR (TREE 13)
This substantial family (around 410 members have been documented in the period from 1765 to the present day) had its origins in Worthington in Leicestershire, where Thomas Smallwood baptised children in the 1760's. His son George settled in Heanor in Derbyshire, where his descendants flourished. One branch were prominent coal merchants, settling in Islington in North London, while another line settled in Coleorton near Coalville in Leicestershire. An outline of the tree has been published (originally in 1999, updated in 2004, 2005 and 2006) by David Smallwood of Worcestershire, and copies are available direct from him or in the library of the Society of Genealogists. David's tree draws partly on the earlier research of Major John St. Clair Smallwood (a descendant of this line), and for the Coleorton branch on the work of Ron Gibson (below).
The athlete Paula Radcliffe is descended from this part of the
Smallwood family via a line in Nottinghamshire and South Yorkshire.

Dressed for TV success
COSTUME designer Sammy Sheldon is having to think about her own outfit - she's been nominated for a Bafta award after creating the strapless scarlet wedding dress worn by actress Julie Walters in the BBC's adaptation of Chaucer's The Wife of Bath.
Sammy, from Middleton, created the strapless scarlet wedding dress worn by actress Julie Walters in the BBC's adaptation of Chaucer's The Wife of Bath.
It has helped earn her a nomination for a coveted British Academy Television Craft Award - the Bafta awards for TV's behind-the-scenes staff.
Sammy created all the costumes on The Wife of Bath, which featured Julie Walters alongside former EastEnders star Paul Nicholls, from Bolton.
The BBC received so many enquiries about the red wedding dress worn by Walters that they organised a competition for a viewer to win it.
Sammy has also created costumes for Johnny Lee Miller, Orlando Bloom and Al Pacino.
She said: "I'm absolutely gobsmacked. Julie's dress has been described as the iconic image of the entire series. It's very pleasing."
Sammy attended Rochdale College before moving on to the Royal Exchange Theatre then Wimbledon School of Art. She is now a freelance designer based in London.

When you think about what is important in your life, what comes to mind? Take a close look at the choices you have been, the people you surround yourself with, and what you consider to be right and wrong.
These things are all connected to your set of personal values.
Upon first thought, you may figure that defining your values is easy. However, when you truly sit down and think it through, it may surprise you how challenging it can be not only to define but stick to your personal values.
It’s an important task that each and every one of us should take the time to complete. Having a personal values list of your own has several benefits, and the simple act of intentionally defining them will affect your whole life.
With this guide, we are going to take an in-depth look at what it means to have personal values, why they are important, and how we can discover our own.
What Does it Mean to Have Personal Values?
The short and sweet answer to this question is that personal values are a “code of ethics and belief system of an individual.” That’s easy enough to read and say, but what does that mean for our individual lives?
It all comes down to what’s important to you. Personal values come in the form of character traits and behaviors that stem from these traits. Think about how you go about your daily life. What sticks out to you as important? And no, I don’t mean things like how important it is for you to have your morning cup of coffee.
Think more along these lines: is it important for you to kiss your spouse and say, “I love you,” before you walk out the door for work? Do you take the time to hold the door for the stranger behind you as you enter the coffee shop? Would you stop to pick up a piece of trash you see on the ground that wasn’t yours? Can you be honest with your boss about why your project isn’t complete yet?
The answer to these questions can help you discover values that you may not have even known you held. The thing about personal values is that many of them come naturally to us, while others require a little more effort.
Of course, some of us can become confused and a little lost in terms of our values. This is what happens when we don’t define them. Consistency is key in terms of personal values. Consider some of these situations: you saw someone do something that you felt was wrong, but you stayed quiet and didn’t speak up – and later you regretted not saying anything.
Or, you’re constantly letting people down. You make commitments and back out, or you’re always late on projects and promises. You recognize this about yourself, but you keep failing.
Finally, all you care about is pleasing everyone else. Because of this, you don’t even know what your personal values are – you’ve only ever focused on the values of others’ and making sure you live up.
If any of these situations apply to you, you’re in the right place. We’re going to talk more about how you can define your personal values – and we’ll even give you a long list to choose from.
Why Are Personal Values Important?
Your personal values impact every area of your life. They are the driving force for everything you do, think, and say. Because they are so connected throughout our lives, it is crucial that we all take the time to think through and define our own.
It’s one thing just to say owning your personal values is important, but we can actually go through a list of benefits that come from making these items clear in your life.
Personal Values Help You Find Purpose
Human beings are creatures of constant evolution and discovery. While many of us tend to view our early years as our developmental stages, we are constantly growing, learning, and changing. In a world that is filled with so many ideas, personalities, and moral compasses, it’s important that we know our own personal values to maintain our own purpose.
We may not always know what we want to do or get out of this life – people switch careers and outgrow relationships all the time – but when we have a set of personal values in place, we can at least know the kinds of situations we feel comfortable in and always have a general direction for our life.
Perhaps you are someone who genuinely values honesty and integrity. Holding true to this value can direct you through your career and your relationships. You wouldn’t enter a relationship with someone who is constantly lying, and you wouldn’t work for a boss who has no integrity.
Through your values, you can discover your purpose in this life and what it is you want. Knowing what’s important to you and sticking to that will help you find your purpose.
Personal Values are Guiding Principles
Your values set you apart from others and give you a roadmap to how you should act and what you should (or shouldn’t) say. Our values are where we get our morals, and our morals help us decide what is right and wrong.
Acting as guiding principles, your values can help you in all kinds of situations. Without a strong value system, people are more likely to react without thinking, possibly hurting someone or themselves. Your values allow you to think clearly and concisely; you already know the right decision because you’ve thought through your personal definition of right and wrong.
In all situations, you can draw on your values to make a decision. Think to yourself: As someone who values kindness, what is the right response to this situation? As a person who finds honesty super important, what should I do here?
Your personal values eliminate confusion and guessing games that often come alongside difficult decisions and tough situations. Use your values to guide you through life – don’t just go along with what someone else tells you or what the crowd is doing.
They Help You Eliminate Clutter
Someone with no values has the potential to get involved with some pretty racy stuff. With no values, you have no reason to say no to anything.
Defining your values lets you clear out everything that doesn’t align with what’s important to you. This can mean activities, physical items, or even people.
Maybe you have sat down and really thought through your values to come to realize that there are people in your life who just don’t fit into the mix of your life and what you stand for anymore. It may be tough to do, but it’s okay to eliminate relationships that cause you to falter on what you believe in.
In the same way, perhaps you’ve been participating in actions that simply don’t sit right in your mind. As someone who values clean language and meaningful relationships, you may find that the bar scene just isn’t for you anymore.
Having personal values can completely change your life. Define yours, and you’ll see your world do a 180 right before your eyes.
They Increase Confidence and Character
Having personal values creates a sense of stability in your life. Those who are unsure are a bit shaky, and someone who is shaky on their values doesn’t have a leg to stand on when it comes to speaking out or standing up.
When you are certain and secure in what you believe in, it’s easier to take a stand and do what’s right. Your personal values add to your confidence and allow you to stick to your gut, regardless of what other people might think or say.
And, having personal values significantly heightens your character. People admire a person who stays true to their beliefs and owns them, rather than someone who is flaky and jumps ship whenever it’s convenient for them.
Personal Values Improve Happiness
Let’s face it: when you know what you want and what is important, you’re just happier! Have you ever talked to someone who’s just lost? People without personal values walk this world aimlessly, not knowing where they’re going or what they’re going to do next. It’s easy for others to take advantage of people like this, and they don’t have any reason to say no.
With more confidence, truer relationships, and the ability to make sound and clear decisions, you will find your life is much easier and happier with personal values in place. You don’t need to compromise for anyone or anything, and that’s a great feeling.
How to Define Your Personal Values
Now that we all know how important and beneficial having set personal values is for everyone, we need to take a look at how we can go about doing that. It’s one thing to say you have values, but it’s another to go through the process of choosing what’s important in your own life.
Your personal values can be sectioned off into four main categories: individual, relationship, organizational, and societal. This is important to note because it can help you better organize your thoughts as you tackle each category one at a time, rather than trying to define the whole scope of your being at once.
Your individual values are just what they sound like: they are all yours and have to do with only you and the life you want to make for yourself. They have to do with your personality and character, along with your unique traits.
Your individual values encompass your specific needs and principles that you hold true to. They involve your self-interest and impact how you think and feel.
A few examples of individual values are enthusiasm, humility, personal fulfillment, and creativity.
Your relationship values impact the way you view other people and how you interact with them. Relationship values include family dynamics, romantic relationships, friendships, business relationships, and acquaintances. In fact, this area can even impact how you treat a stranger.
Every individual has specific traits that they value within a relationship. Think back to when we talked about clearing out the clutter in our lives by defining our values. We mentioned people and our relationships, and how sometimes defining what we find important in life can cause us to eliminate certain relationships.
That’s because if we do not find value in a relationship, it’s not beneficial to anyone. That’s not to say that you should only be in a relationship if you get something out of it, but rather it should hold substance and be good for both parties rather than being detrimental to our emotions and morals.
Some things that people may value in a relationship are honesty, passion, trust, generosity, caring, love, openness, compassion, and consideration.
For many people, if you lack the things they value in a relationship, then it’s not worth their time. We set standards for a reason. Relationships that don’t align with our values can tear us down and cause us to slip outside of the boundaries that we set for ourselves.
Organizational values most often have to do with areas of corporate and business. Thought this may not seem like a personal value set, many people take pride in their work and do have a set of standards that they apply to their career.
When you set these kinds of values, you can better decide what kind of company you want to work it, and the type of work environment in which you perform at your best. Just as we pick our personal values, companies set their own core standards and values. Not only do you want to work for someone who shares important views as you, but your company wants to hire someone who aligns with their values and can represent their company well.
Some organizational or professional values that people tend to hold are integrity, productivity, hard work, teamwork, growth, financial responsibility, leadership, and dedication.
Finally, we all hold a set of societal values, whether we realize it yet or not. These values have to do with your relation and view on society as a whole. What do you value about the world and the communities around you?
This one may be a little tougher to grasp, so we’ll jump right into a few examples.
One of your societal values may be environmental awareness. You value the environment, nature, and animals and feel that it is important that we as a race do whatever we can to sustain and protect our world. While others are okay with ignoring pollution and global warming, you think we should do something about it. That is a societal value.
Another example of this is the future of the people – the next generations. There are lots of people who believe it is crucial that we invest in the generations that come after us, whether it be financially, educationally, or emotionally. Somehow, we should focus on making them better and paving the way for their success.
Maybe human rights is a value that you hold strong to. You are very passionate about the fact that all humans deserve certain basic rights – that is a value that is meaningful and important to you.
There are many social issues that you can take on as a societal value. Even small things such as being kind to the homeless or paying it forward by taking care of someone’s coffee bill can be small societal values.
Steps You Can Take
You can now see that the first step to defining your personal values is to focus on each of the four categories above, one at a time, to define the areas of your life. Now, within all of those headings, you can use these steps to figure out what you find important in each of those areas.
Step 1: Relax
Life is hectic – we all know that. We have also already discovered that identifying your personal values can be a confusing and complex process. That’s why it is important for you to relax and center yourself before you dive it.
You should have a clear mind and plenty of time to yourself to think when you’re defining your values. So, it’s probably not a good idea to whip out a piece of paper while you’re drinking at the bar with your buddies on a Friday night.
Instead, aim for a quiet time of the day when you have nothing else going on. Perhaps this is after work when the kids have gone to bed, and your wife is upstairs reading. Maybe you can sit in a quiet coffee shop during your lunch break. Whatever it is, make sure you’re comfortable, and your mind is cleared of your to-do lists, family issues, and after-work plans.
Step 2: Analyze Your Background… And Your Future
Many of the values that we hold have been passed down from our parents, who may have gotten at least some of those values from their parents, and so on. Your family and your culture can say a lot about what you hold near and dear, so a good step to take it to think about what you were raised to view as important and examine what your family finds important.
Likewise, think about the kind of values that you would like to see in your future. If you have kids, how would you like to see them grow up? And if you don’t have kids yet, what kind of future do you envision for them?
What kinds of values are going to get you and your family where you want them to be?
At the same time, make sure to weigh the strengths and weaknesses of these values. You may find that some of the things your parents valued are no longer important to you. You’re allowed to redefine your family’s values and create your own, too.
Now is the perfect time to make a change in your family and break a chain of poor values as well. Perhaps you come from a long history of poverty and family members who didn’t value hard work. You can decide right now that your family will value financial responsibility, hard work, and integrity, regardless of your family’s past.
Step 3: Who Do You Look Up To?
There is great truth behind those who you have chosen as your heroes in this life. You admire them for a reason, so in defining your own values, you should examine the values that your role models hold dear.
Most of us can name at least one person who has had a strong influence on our lives. Maybe it was your mother. Perhaps she valued kindness, strength, and dignity, and in examining her characteristics, you can discover that you value those things too.
Or perhaps you look up to a celebrity who does large amounts of charity work, donating, and volunteering. You can look to them and find that you value generosity, giving back, and kindness to strangers.
Values drive actions, so look at your hero and analyze their actions. By doing so, you’ll be able to see what they value in this life and find out whether you feel the same way.
Step 4: Review Your Choices
Take a moment to think about the choices you have made in your life up to this point. Depending on your age, this may take a little while.
Think about who your friends are and how your relationships have evolved. People tend to choose friends who hold the same values as them, so if you’re not sure what you believe in, you may be able to find your answers in your closest companions.
Examine how you have responded to various situations in your life and the decisions you have made – large and small. While doing so, take note of how you have grown. After all, we have all made some questionable decisions at one point or another – especially in our teen years.
Consider how you treat people. Are you someone who likes to be kind to everyone? Do you like to make people laugh? Do you prefer to form just a few deep relationships, or do you like to have lots of friends? Are you someone that people come to for advice?
All of these questions matter in defining your personal values, and they reveal much more than you might think.
Step 5: Think!
There’s very little that a good, strong brainstorming session can’t fix. Make sure you have something to keep track of your thoughts. You can use the notepad on your phone, but I’ve always found that a pen and paper work best for this step.
Based on the previous four steps, write down your thoughts and ideas. Start making a list – if you haven’t already by this step – of values you think may apply to you. Don’t be afraid to get messy. Write, cross things out, rewrite.
Come up with a list of possible values. It’s okay if it’s super long. It’s possible that they all apply, but you can also go through that list and pair it down.
Be thoughtful, critical, and picky during this step. But most important, be honest with yourself. Don’t write things down because you think you should, write things down that are true. And write things down that you aspire to be – but only if you want to be that.
Before you know it, you’ll have a list in front of you that looks pretty darn good. All you have to do now is live it out.
Personal Values List
When all else fails, and you’ve run out of ideas, you can always go ahead a look at a literal list of personal values. You may find some traits that you didn’t think of or forgot about that resonate with you, so take a look:
- Financial Responsibility
- Hard Work
There are so many other values that we could go through today, but for now, we’ll leave you with this guide to spur some thought.
Defining your personal values list isn’t something that you should stress about, but it is something that you should take seriously and put into action. Your personal values really drive who you are, how you act, and where you are headed in this crazy life.
Ground yourself by knowing what’s important to you. Make your decisions based off of your own personal truths, and don’t compromise those values for anything. As we grow and learn, we can feed off of the discovery of what we value most to strengthen our inner selves, our relationships, our businesses, and our societies.

Characterizing the nature of the dark energy that dominates the matter density of the universe is a profound challenge for observational cosmology. Several approaches to investigate dark energy are in progress, or have been proposed; these include include traditional ground and space-based supernovae surveys, weak lensing surveys, characterization of the galaxy power spectrum on large angular scales and at high redshifts, characterization of galaxy clusters at high redshift, as well as the ongoing role of cosmic microwave background investigations.
The workshop will focus sharply on how the diverse approaches to characterizing dark energy may be best deployed to make progress over the next decade. A portion of the discussion will be concerned with the near term prospects of programs now or soon likely to be underway, followed by an examination of how more long-ranged space probes or large ground-based telescopes may best build on this work.

I always wonder how Americans can make such incredible amounts of money, yet actually spend more than they make. Recently, the US savings rate was -0.5%, meaning that people spent more money than they made. While obviously some of this is attributable to the housing boom, some of it is caused directly by complete waste.
Recently I was shocked to discover that a number of people I know are paying more than $100 a month for cable TV - even up to $150 a month. That's $5 a day just for the service. Now I suppose that doesn't seem like a lot of money if you're making $100,000+ a year. But it certainly adds up, especially considering there are so many more enjoyable healthier hobbies with a cost of $0 per month.
Let's look at the long term financial impact of spending your cash on fancy TVs and expensive cable service.
10 year timespan:
Total daily cost: $11.54
20 year timespan:
Total daily cost: $18.22
30 year timespan:
Total daily cost: $31.41
As you can see, if you take into account the gain you would have had if you had invested the money instead of wasting it on television, you can see that over the long term it's a TREMENDOUSLY expensive hobby.
You can apply the same logic to just about any long term recurring expense. Cell phone contracts, gym memberships, magazine subscriptions, etc. Obviously, there's more to life than saving and investing - but you can't have a negative savings rate forever!

Are you new to growing cannabis and about to embark on your first harvest? It’s an exciting time but also nerve-wracking as you finally feel and see the final product of all your hard work.
Let us help with our ultimate guide to harvesting cannabis, which will take you through the preparation stages to final storage solutions!
Before Harvesting Cannabis
The first step in our ultimate guide to harvesting cannabis is the pre-harvesting process. Before cutting down and trimming the plant, you should complete the following steps to ensure a safe and quality crop harvest.
Inspect for Faults & Contaminants
Before harvesting, take some time to go through the crops to look for impurities and potential contaminants. These could include fungi, pests, and anything else you don’t want to see in your harvested buds.
Discard any damaged parts of the crop and use this time to gauge the size and color of your plants to determine if they’re ripe for harvesting.
Cut Fan Leaves
Fan leaves are the large primary leaves on the cannabis plant that everyone would recognize—even if they’ve never used cannabis before. If the fan leaves on your crops look big and healthy, that’s a good sign!
Before harvesting, you’ll want to prune and remove the fan leaves so they’re out of the way. While fan leaves don’t contain the cannabinoids and trichomes of the buds, they can still be useful. Many harvesters use the fan leaves to create topical skin creams, oils, or baked edibles.
Flush Crops (Optional)
Before harvesting, you’ll want to decide if you’ll flush your crops or not. Flushing the crops means removing the remaining minerals from the plant, so the crop uses the nutrients already in its tissue.
Some say flushing makes the cannabis plant more potent and smoother for inhalation, while others say the difference is negligible. All you have to do is water the plants like usual, wait about 20 minutes, then water again to flush out the minerals—but be wary of yellow leaves and overwatering.
You’ll want to flush cannabis crops around the final stages of bloom—which can be three days or two weeks before harvest, depending on the plant.
How To Know When It’s Time To Harvest
One of the most common mistakes among growers is mistiming the harvest—usually doing it too soon and winding up with an inferior cannabis crop. There are two accurate ways to judge when the crops are ready for harvest—examining the trichome or stigmas.
Trichomes are the preferred method for many growers as it’s a reliable signifier of plant maturity. To correctly inspect trichomes, you’ll need some visual enhancement—magnifying lens, microscope, or a jeweler’s loupe.
Take a close look at the cannabis flower and the crystals covering it—those are the trichomes. A mature cannabis crop features cloudy or milky white trichomes that cover nearly half the plant. The plant isn’t mature enough if the trichomes appear transparent and translucent.
Trichomes, as they mature, turn a brownish-orangish amber color. A little color is good, but too much is a sign the plant is getting old, and the THC is degrading.
There’s also the stigma method for examining crop maturity. Stigmas are the little hairs that sprout from the bud’s calyxes and are the plant’s pollen catchers.
At first, stigmas sprout white, but as they mature, they turn a darker color—typically orange, red, or brown. When about half of the stigmas on the cannabis plant are darkened, they’re ready for harvesting.
How To Harvest Cannabis
Finally, we can get into the actual harvesting procedures and methods of the cannabis plant!
Equipment You’ll Need
Before you can harvest, you’ll need some cannabis harvesting equipment, assuming you’re trimming by hand. Essential tools for harvesting include:
- Sharp scissors
- Rubbing alcohol
- Trimming tray (to place buds in)
- Gloves (disposable)
Or you can always invest in an automated hand trimmer to take care of the grunt work of harvesting and get the process done quickly and more consistently.
Whole vs. Sectional Harvesting
Cannabis growers can do whole or sectional harvesting—also called ripe bud harvesting. Either method produces quality buds, but for bigger plants, sectional is typically best for more consistent quality.
Sectional harvesting means harvesting just the buds on the upper branches, as they typically ripen first, and letting buds on the lower branches take some more time to mature. It’s more time-consuming, but if consistent quality is your goal, it’s the better option.
Dry Trimming vs. Wet Trimming
After cutting down the stalks of your plants, it’s time to trim. There are two methods for trimming—dry or wet. Each has its advantages and is commonly used by growers.
Dry trimming entails hanging up the plants after cutting them down so they can dry a while before trimming. This drying technique allows the THC in the plant time to better convert to its psychoactive state and increase potency.
Usually, this process takes about five to seven days for a plant in a temperature controlled (approximately 70 degrees), dark room with mild humidity (45-55 percent). After the plants are dry, use the scissors to remove the sugar leaves—wiping and dabbing the scissors with alcohol to prevent stickiness.
Wet trimming skips the weeklong drying process and goes straight to the trimming. The process is faster and easier and prevents the potential of mold forming during the drying process.
Some growers say the result isn’t as quality a crop as wet trimming, but that’ll be up to you to decide. Trim the crop the same way with dry trimming—removing the sugar leaves and stems by cutting the flower and base with scissors and alcohol.
Once you’ve got your cannabis crops harvested and trimmed, it’s time to cure the buds. Curing concentrates the flavor and potency of the plant by allowing the remaining moisture to evaporate.
Pack the buds loosely in an opaque glass container or mason jar, seal it tightly, and place it in a dark room. You’ll want to let the cannabis buds sit and cure for about two months.
Burping Your Buds While Curing
While curing, you’ll want to release moisture and condensation from the containers with burping. Open the containers briefly—about a minute—to release trapped moisture and condensation and allow fresh air to circulate into the jar.
Burp every container once a day for the first two weeks, every other day for the next two weeks, and once every five or seven days for the last month.
Once they’re cured, you’ll want to keep the buds and containers in long-term storage. You can use new containers or the ones you cured the buds in.
Keep them in a dark place away from the light and tightly sealed, and the buds can last in the proper storage conditions for up to a year.

Diphenhydramine hydrochloride is an antihistamine with anticholinergic (drying) and sedative effects. Antihistamines appear to compete with histamine for cell receptor sites on effector cells. Ammonium chloride is used as an expectorant in cough medicine. Its expectorant action is caused by irritative action on the bronchial mucosa. This causes the production of excess respiratory tract fluid which presumably is easier to cough up. Bromhexine is a mucolytic agent used in the treatment of respiratory disorders associated with viscid or excessive mucus. In addition, bromhexine has antioxidant properties.

It’s tough because if there is a big drop that doesn’t rebound as quickly as March 2020 (itself very unusual) it will be very psychologically damaging. Others have been pushed by low interest rates into stocks, mortgages, and home equity loans. Stagflation would be a nice cherry on top. Even those who are diversified may be on shorter timelines.
I absolutely agree the lack of reciprocal cooperation on the debt ceiling is partisan economics of the worst kind. And while I think Trump’s personally motivated pressure on the Fed (and its capitulation) was so, so stupid, it was also a late-innings error in a game well underway.Exactly been having this debate online for weeks now the concern here is not just the debt limit the concern is because of Trump there is no safety net. Trump took interest rates down low when we were in a good economy, and then lower when Covid took the markets down. If the debt ceiling doesn't get suspended and the markets tank, it's MUCH harder to stop because we can't just open up a safety net they're gone thanks to Trump.
The whole thing is so incredibly bad 27.5% of the TOTAL debt today is from Donald Trump but the GOP is trying to take the economy and the markets down so they can blame it on Biden. From what I'm hearing now what really started today down was Yellen essentially saying if they don't up the debt ceiling it could be disastrous. And she's right.
I knew Trump was messing with Biden with the eviction moratorium he left that in place against GOP interest, and the extended unemployment because he knew Biden would have to end both and be the bad guy. But if those happen in the same month to 6 weeks the debt ceiling happens MILLIONS of Americans are going to get slammed financially all because the GOP is trying to make Biden fail.
I saw an article in Apple News from Forbes where they think the market is just now starting a correction.

The man has a good track record of signaling market tops....or being in the range of doing so.
Its always said that the mainstream never warns investors beforehand of these moves...very contrary to that belief, I've seen alot of warning from the media and major banks for this one. Whatever may come of it.. it's at least a step in a positive direction that we get retail investors more information that they can decipher from.I saw an article in Apple News from Forbes where they think the market is just now starting a correction.
I believe something big is coming....but how big is "big"… ? No idea. The Evergrande deal isn't great...but I think the whole debt market is extremely vulnerable right now. So it could only take one domino to set others in motion...ala GFCImpact of Evergaurd Group mess in China?
Some dude on Yahoo is saying we are 3 weeks out from the biggest collapse ever.
For sure. I saw the big spike at the end and was like oh yeah.I think his point is to show how it just gradually keeps going up perpetually since the 70's.. Trump/Biden just kept it rolling. But yes, post-Covid really was the gas pedal to the ground.
It's a great question. My answers always require a healthy dose of "conspiracy theory".For sure. I saw the big spike at the end and was like oh yeah.
There is a piece on Andrew yang about running for pres I read last night. About the physiologic toll, how you are the product to sell, not actually ceo, etc. Super interesting. President will never be the difference maker when the system is so well oiled and decided already.

By Gene Phelps/NEMS Daily Journal
JACKSON – In her own words, Belmont’s Kelsie Montgomery was “0-for-a lot” shooting in the first 29 minutes of Thursday’s 3A State Tournament championship game against Ripley.
The final 3 minutes told a different story … one that ended with an MVP plaque and a gold ball in 5-foot-11 senior’s hands.
Montgomery, her team trailing by 10 points with 4 minutes, 40 seconds remaining, sank two 3-pointers and had a game-clinching steal to lift the Lady Cardinals to a thrilling 39-38 win at the Mississippi Coliseum.
“I was really down on myself, but coach kept telling me that my shots were going to fall,” said Montgomery, who was 0-of-10 from the field before sinking a 3-pointer at the 3:13 mark to kickstart Belmont’s rally. “I was dribbling and looking at the clock. I knew we had to keep shooting.
“We weren’t going to let them win.”
Montgomery’s 3-pointer with 1:46 left cut Ripley’s lead to 38-35. She later missed a field goal attempt, but teammate Leslie Robinson stepped up and ended her shooting woes down the stretch as well, scoring 7 of her 9 points in the final 2:11.
The Lady Cardinals’ senior point guard cut Ripley’s lead to 38-37 with a steal and layup at the 30-second mark.
Robinson scored the eventual game-winner on a layup with 15 ticks remaining.
“I struggled in both games down here,” said Robinson, who was a combined 5 of 26 from the field in the semifinals and finals. “I waited to the end of the game tonight to shoot my way out of it.”
The Lady Cardinals turned the ball over under Ripley’s goal on an inbounds play with 3.4 seconds left.
On Ripley’s inbounds attempt, an alert Montgomery got the steal to seal the win.
Belmont (32-4) avenged its 3-point loss to Ripley (28-5) in the North state title game, to capture its second state championship in three seasons and the program’s 10th overall.
Ripley took an 8-0 lead in the first quarter before a stunned Belmont rallied to cut the Tigers’ lead to 17-13 at halftime.
“Give Ripley credit,” Belmont coach Chris Higginbottom said. “They were the best defensive team we’ve played. It was also like the goal had a lid on it.”
The Lady Cardinals struggled all night, connecting on just 14 of 59 field goal attempts. Angelia Allen led Belmont with a 14-point game.
Jayla Chills and Becca Ruckes scored 13 points apiece to pace Ripley.
“It came down to execution and we didn’t execute,” Ripley coach Katie Bates said. “They executed late in the game and made their run.”

Danny reflects on West Ham win
23 November 2015|Tottenham Hotspur
Danny Rose underlined how the players were full of confidence against West Ham – even before kick-off.
A fine team performance saw us breeze past the Hammers 4-1 at White Hart Lane, with a Harry Kane brace and goals from Toby Alderweireld and Kyle Walker accounting for our side of the scoreline.
Manuel Lanzini netted a late consolation for the Hammers, which left-back Danny admitted was a disappointing lapse in an otherwise blistering display, but overall the 25-year-old felt the result was just reward for a good week in training following the international break.
“It’s a great result, everyone’s over the moon – it’s just a shame that we couldn’t keep a clean sheet,” he said.
“Nevertheless, we showed great confidence. We’ve seen some teams come back from the international break and not manage to pick up wins this weekend – the likes of Arsenal and Manchester City – but we did very well.
“We’ve had a great week in training where the Head Coach has given us the best platform to be ready for the game and we’ve shown that out on the pitch.
“We created a lot of chances, we looked solid and we’ve given ourselves a great platform leading into the Chelsea game next weekend, as well as Qarabag on Thursday night.”

The old part broke (the big orange bit) when someone pulled too hard to open the door, rather than pulling to the left and out.
This is a little bit tricky to fit - mainly about getting all the parts in the right order and the right way round, but once fitted works well.
This is the second time I have replaced this part - it is more of a design failing rather than a problem with the spare part, and the part is cheap.

Author: Veronica Roth
Genre: YA, dystopian
Release date: May 3, 2011
Publisher: Katherine Tegen Books (HarperCollins imprint)
Series: #1 in Divergent Trilogy
Source: Won in giveaway
Beatrice "Tris" Prior has reached the fateful age of sixteen, the stage at which teenagers in Veronica Roth's dystopian Chicago must select which of five factions to join for life. Each faction represents a virtue: Candor, Abnegation, Dauntless, Amity, and Erudite. To the surprise of herself and her selfless Abnegation family, she chooses Dauntless, the path of courage. Her choice exposes her to the demanding, violent initiation rites of this group, but it also threatens to expose a personal secret that could place in mortal danger. Veronica Roth's young adult Divergent trilogy launches with a captivating adventure about love and loyalty playing out under most extreme circumstances.
I'm mind-blown. Completely.
When I first saw this book, I made the mistake of judging a book by it's cover. I thought this looked like another Hunger Games wannabe, but wow, was I wrong. This book goes above and beyond every expectation I had.
I was drawn into this book, the whole plot is just so unique. I know every book is, but who comes up with stuff like this? Oh yeah, Veronica Roth did and she blew me away with it.
I love Tris. You can sense her Abnegation origin through the whole book and she's such a different character than I've ever read. She's so strong and she makes me feel like I want to be Dauntless. This book was just as intense as it was unique. There was action, romance, suspense, it was everything mixed into 487 pages. I felt the loss, happiness, love, bravery, just everything that Roth wanted every reader to feel. This book is recommended to anyone and everyone.
The plot had so many twists and turns and the characters are so amazing. Veronica put this put together perfectly, and added some fire to the puzzle. I want to go on, but I'd end up giving away spoilers because I just want to keep rambling on about this book. So overall review, READ IT.
