Hungary’s public media will show more than hundred films on Friday, celebrating the day the first Hungarian-directed film was screened 120 years ago in Budapest. “We’re celebrating the screening of the first film entitled A táncz (The Dance) on this day in the Urania Theatre in 1901,” Hungary’s film commissioner, Csaba Káel, said.
April 30 has been celebrated as the Day of Hungarian Film since 2018. Several films will be shown during the day on public service and commercial TV channels as well as on online platforms. Hungarian film streaming service Filmio will make several films accessible free of charge, he added. The National Film Institute has launched a website that shows images from the collection of its archives, including images from 120 full-length films as well as fragments. Hungary is celebrating the 120th anniversary throughout the year.

In a press release issued by MiYoHo, developers of the Genshin Impact open-world adventure game, the company announced that their next game Tears of Themis will launch this summer.
Pre-registrations are now live across iOS and Android with a free SR gatcha event already set to take place at launch.
What is Tears of Themis?
Tears of Themis isn't a new game from MiYoHo, but a title from their back catalog that's being localized and released in English for the first time this year.
Rather than a sprawling open-world title or intense action-RPG like their other games, Tears of Themis is a "romance detective" title that promised romance and suspense as you gather evidence from 3D crime scenes, interrogate suspects, and cross-examine potential criminals.
As you go about solving various crimes, you'll court one of the game's four 20-something male lead characters through video calls, romantic dates, and somehow even gunfights; from top attorney Artem Wing to Marius von Hagen, heir to the Pax Group throne.
The good people of the city of Stellis are going mad, violent, and volatile. With so many crimes racking up, it's up to you to solve those buried under the weight of the next.
In the end, you'll take your evidence to the courts to settle a variety of cases that all appear to be part of a larger narrative.
What Language Will Tears of Themis Be In?
Although the text in Tears of Themis will be in English, character voice-overs will be available in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean only.
When is the Tears of Themis Release Date?
Tears of Themis was previously announced for a 2021 release, but is now confirmed to arrive within the season. A Closed Beta was made available shortly after the previous announcement.
Pre-registrations are now live, suggesting a release is relatively close.


Hamburger SV has found a successor for the released head coach Tim Walter. The new coach was most recently on the sidelines in the Bundesliga.
Steffen Baumgart will be the new head coach at the Hamburg sports club. This is reported by “BILD” and already provides the first contract details.
According to the report, Baumgart will receive a contract until 2025 and will lead training for the first time on Tuesday. Beforehand there should be an introductory PK with the new coach.
Baumgart is taking over the job from Tim Walter, whom the Hanseatic League released on Rose Monday.
HSV is currently in 3rd place in the 2nd Bundesliga table. The last three home games were all lost. In Walter’s last game there was a 3-4 home defeat against Hannover 96 on February 9th. The responsible team, led by sports director Jonas Boldt, then pulled the ripcord and sent Tim Walter out the door. In the 2-2 draw in Rostock last weekend, Merlin Polzin was on the bench on an interim basis.
With Steffen Baumgart, one of the most sought-after coaches in German football is now coming to the Elbe. The 52-year-old worked at 1. FC Köln until last December and became a cult figure in the cathedral city. After things didn’t go well this season and the club was in acute danger of relegation in the Bundesliga, the amicable separation was announced shortly before Christmas.

Turn the ignition to “on” as well as fill up the car with a couple of inches of cold oil, making sure that the oil filter is effectively seated in the oil frying pan which there are no air bubbles within the oil filter. Before you put the car in park, turn the secret as well as start to fill up the storage tank. It is important to do this gradually to avoid blowing any air bubbles.
Fill up the tank regarding two-thirds complete as well as bear in mind to give a full stop at the exact same time. Do not start the vehicle till the electric motor is cool. The next oil adjustment service that you execute on your automobile should be set up at least every 3 months, although this depends upon how usually you drive your automobile.

Next off, locate the drain plug as well as fill up the oil totally. Transform the engine off and also wait on it to cool. After waiting for the engine to cool down, it is time to find a refuge to safely park the lorry overnight. When you are finished with this procedure, you will recognize when to arrange your following oil adjustment solution.

Late in the afternoon, we went to Custer State Park and drove about 20 miles through Needles Highway and the Wildlife Loop area. Some of the tunnels carved through the rock are 8 ½ feet wide. Tough going in a truck! The needles are true geological wonders but the sad part is the loss of the surrounding trees by the beetles. Huge sections of the forests have been cut down and stacked as firewood as a result of this devastation. These will be burned this winter when the snows come. A Ranger told us there is nothing to do but cut down the trees and wait 50 years….. Further into our drive through the rolling green plains, we saw deer (on vacation from NJ!!), prairie dogs, wild mules, pronghorns, and a magnificent herd of 50+ buffalo with calves grazing in a woodland area − worth the drive just to see them.
Tomorrow we head into Wyoming to Sheridan, WY.
See you down the road,
David & Judy

Elon Musk was interviewed by the BBC on Wednesday about social media rules in India. He said that he was not sure what happened when Twitter removed posts related to a documentary critical of Prime Minister Narendra Modi earlier this year. Musk also mentioned that some rules about social media content are strict in India.
In January, India blocked a BBC documentary that questioned Modi’s leadership during the 2002 Gujarat riots. The government ordered Twitter to block over 50 tweets that linked to the video. Even sharing clips of the documentary on social media was banned. Although the documentary was not shown in India, it was uploaded to some YouTube channels.
During the interview, Musk said that he was not aware of this particular situation and did not know what exactly had happened with some content situation in India. The documentary focused on Modi’s leadership as the chief minister of the western state of Gujarat during the 2002 riots. Over 1,000 people were killed during the riots, most of them Muslims.

Ontogenetic Constraints on Grice’s Theory of Communication
For a number of reasons Paul Grice’s account of the nature of intentional communication has often been supposed to be cognitively too complex to work as an account of the communicative interactions of pre-verbal children. Here I review a number of different formulations of this problem, and responses to this problem that others have developed. These include Relevance Theory (by Sperber and Wilson, Section 4.1.1), Pedagogy Theory (by Gergely and Csibra, Section 4.1.2), and recent work on Expressive Communication (by Green and Bar-On). I also discuss my own response to the challenge of Gricean communication (Section 4.2).

I’m just a man with 4 sons. Jonathan will be graduating on Friday and in a short time will be off making a new life. Morgen will be a Sophomore and still unsure of what he wants to do with life. Ethan and Caden will be in 4th grade. Although not in the same classes, Caden has autism, and they will be there for each other. I love them and they love me, but I’m not able to be the father they deserve. I’m not there 24/7 to help with everyday matters. So far I’ve missed 4 years of their childhood, only getting glimpses when they spend a day or two with me.
I don’t have friends anymore. I’ve decided that ship has sailed. They were never there for me and as I had 4 years of loneliness I’ve thought about the years they were “friends” of mine and I don’t think they ever were. Starting to think I have never had a friend. I was never close to my brothers and my sister has become less of a sister and more of just an aunt. Patty was my best friend and we all know what happened there. All the people we knew together all wrote me off, never once calling her out on her choices. She never struck me as a person who would just say shit to have people on her side of things, but apparently, you don’t really know someone after 20+ years, at least I don’t.
The few people who have told me they are here whenever I needed them must have changed their minds as soon as they said it.
This is who I am now. I always suspected I would be just this too. I am becoming the bitter old man in apartment 8. The shades are always drawn. When or if people see me it’s early in the morning or late at night. I don’t sit outside on the little pad in front of my door. I sit in my apartment and bitch about the neighbor’s dogs. I sit in the darkness of the afternoon crying about a past that was taken from me. I have never been the author of my story, and for you that says write a new one, it’s not easy when you are financially and emotionally anchored to a past that everyone got a fresh start from. I’ve made efforts to find a new friend or two and even a date and at most, it lasted 2 days and then absolutely nothing. I am still waiting for a reply from a lady I met on Stir who came after me. It’s been over 2 weeks.
When it all comes down to it, the darkness has won, and without the support that most people have, I honestly can not do it and well, I don’t care anymore.

Mary Jane and Black Cat are the last two people that were expected for a team-up. Yet, here we are, focused on the eye candy that is Peter Parker’s greatest loves and their respective butt-kicking abilities.
This five-issue limited connects directly with the Dark Web Spider-Man/X-Men/Venom crossover, where, after a series of individual adventures for the thief with a heart of living in the Meow—including the current Iron Cat limited run—Jed MacKay will see Felicia Hardy and Mary Jane Watson team up for a wild ride.
“I’ve kind of lost track of how many lives Felicia has left at this point, but she keeps coming back- and this time she’s brought a friend!” MacKay said in a statement from Marvel. “Getting back to Mary Jane and Black Cat after their one-shot last year has been a delight—and seeing how they’ve been catching up on all the drama that’s happened since then has been, well, catnip.”
MARY JANE & BLACK CAT #1 (OF 5)
Written by JED MACKAY
Art by VINCENZO CARRATÚ
Cover by J. SCOTT CAMPBELL
On Sale 12/21
Currently, Peter and MJ are separated after a big event caused Peter’s closest people to turn away from him. What Peter had done, we’re not entirely certain, though whatever the cause, it was so bad that it destroyed all of his relationships and nearly destroyed his body and mental health.
This reboot also saw MJ with a new love interest, a man named Paul, of whom she shares two step-children with in the current timeline. It’s also been noted that the team running Spider-Man seem to have no intention of having Spider-Man get married again.
MacKay will be partnering with up-and-coming artist Vincenzo Carratù, who will be making his official Marvel Comics debut. This series will also continue a bit of that chemistry we’d seen when MJ and Felicia last worked together to save Peter in MacKay’s popular limited-run one-shot: Mary Jane & Black Cat: Beyond #1.
In the current Amazing Spider-Man, things are about to get even more complicated regarding both women, as the twisted setting of the Dark Web will see Mary Jane and Felicia cross each other’s paths in the dimension of demonic Limbo. Yet, something’s changed. As both Felicia and MJ have some guilt they’ve been harboring and it’s messing with the pair’s plan to get out before all goes wrong.
Will things be okay? Check out the comic to find out!

The EntreProgrammers Episode 33 Seneca’s Letters
The EntreProgrammers analyze different aspects that make-up a great entrepreneur; things get started with diet, after John explains an uneventful 10 hours of flight to get home.
Diet, of course, is extremely important to the success of an entrepreneurial effort. Yes, you are what you eat which includes making business choices based on diet – your diet. Derick goes into detail what all of this could mean in a day of having to make many choices.
If possible, make your decisions when you feel good; avoid making important decision when you don’t feel good. The greatest asset of an entrepreneur is to “know thyself.”
Josh talks about how focused he is – “laser focus.” He gets into detail concerning his choice to better himself as a copywriter. He and Derick drop a few copywriters’ names for those of you interested.
An analysis of book sales dropping for both Josh and Derick takes place as they hammer-out resolutions and new directions for their entrepreneurial efforts. John is focused on tying-up loose ends of what he has already created.
John unites the 3 to work together on projects. This could turn-out to be quite interesting as The EntreProgrammers will focus on one project at a time over a 3 day period. Stay tuned for this one.
Derick details the main frame scheduling system that he is creating; he will own the rights and is fast considering promoting and marketing this system. You don’t want to miss this.
At the end of their discussion, John recommends a book that he is reading, titled, Seneca’s Letters. “…best wisdom writing that I’ve ever read.” An excellent place to get this book to read for free as well as other information is the Internet Archive: https://archive.org/details/Seneca

More information about the church may be found at www.fbccheyenne.com. That evening, the Bisonettes will perform at 6 p.m. at First Baptist Church of Okarche, located at 101 E. Stroh Avenue. The church’s website is www.okarchebaptist.com.

Two concerts on April 23 close the traveling season for the Bisonettes. The group will sing during the 8:30 a.m. and 11 a.m. services at First Baptist Church of Ardmore, located at 221 1st Avenue SW. More information about this church may be found at www.fbcardmore.org. The group will then travel north to perform a 6 p.m. concert at First Baptist Church of Pauls Valley, located at 213 N. Ash.

The Bisonettes will then celebrate 63 years of singing at their OBU campus spring concert, Saturday May 6, at 7:30 p.m. in Yarborough Auditorium in Raley Chapel.
All performances are free and open to the public.
The Bisonettes were founded in 1954 by Warren M. Angell, former dean of the College of Fine Arts. Membership in the group is by annual audition. This year’s membership includes students from Oklahoma, Texas, Arkansas, Alaska, Arizona, Colorado, Missouri, Nevada, West Virginia, Haiti and Spain. While music majors comprise a large number of the singers, the group is represented by a wide range of non-music majors, including nursing, art, graphic design, biblical languages, psychology, biology and English.
The group performs at a wide range of campus events and off-campus concerts, including an annual tour of churches and schools. The Bisonettes’ repertoire represents a wide range of compositional styles in both sacred and secular musical formats, and showcases choral standards, traditional numbers and contemporary compositions.
Serving in his 7th year as musical director, the Bisonette Glee Club is conducted by Dr. James Vernon, professor of music. For 27 years, Vernon has served OBU as an instructor in music theory, composition, and fine arts, and for 10 years served as chair of the Division of Music. His compositions have been performed throughout the United States and in Europe. His first opera, A Porcelain Doll, was premiered on the OBU campus earlier this month.

Missouri Academy Of Family Physicians Endorses Medicaid Expansion Campaign
The Missouri Academy of Family Physicians has endorsed the Medicaid expansion campaign in Missouri.
The group joins 170 other organizations who want to put Medicaid expansion on the ballot this November, according to Healthcare for Missouri.
The Missouri Academy of Family Physicians is a non-profit medical society with more than 2,500 members of doctors, residents, and medical students in Missouri.
Kathy Pabst, executive director, said in a release that family doctors see more underserved individuals than any other medical group in the state.
They're also concerned about rural hospitals closing, due in part to the number of uninsured patients they serve, she said.
See our earlier reporting about the medicaid expansion issue and Missouri's rural uninsured population by clicking here.
Medicaid is the government health insurance program for the lower-income and disabled populations. Most states have expanded their programs to include more people under the Affordable Care Act, but Missouri has not.

The Paul Laurence Dunbar House Historic Site — the final home of one of the first nationally known African-American writers — will reopen Friday, June 18.
Dunbar purchased the two-story brick house at 219 N. Summit St. in Dayton in 1904 for his mother, Matilda.
The home, a National Historic Landmark, seems frozen in time as if the writer has just stepped out.
The desk in his study is covered with mementos from his travels. In fact, the Remington Standard typewriter he used to compose poems, letters and newspaper editorials sits on a small table in his bedroom.
Dunbar, who was chronically ill and had tuberculosis, spent his final years at the house and died in 1906 at age 33.
Matilda continued to live in the house until her death in 1934. In 1936, the home became the first state memorial to honor an African-American.
Dunbar was a prolific writer from an early age. At age 6, he wrote his first poem, “An Easter Ode.”
He attended the Tenth Street Elementary School and went on to attend Central High School, where he edited the “Dayton Tattler,” an African-American newspaper published by his classmate Orville Wright.
After high school he found work as an elevator operator in the Callahan Building in downtown Dayton, where he scribbled down bits of poetry between calls and studied the dialects of the riders. That work eventually led to his first self-published book, “Oak and Ivy,” which he sold for $1 to the people who rode his elevator.
Dunbar produced more than 400 works including 12 books of poetry, four novels, four books of short stories and the lyrics to many popular songs during his short career, according to the National Park Service.
The historic home will be open Friday through Monday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Admission is free.
The tours will be held once an hour, on the half hour, beginning at 10:30 a.m. The last tour of the day will begin at 3:30 p.m.
Reservations are encouraged. To schedule a tour, e-mail Brad Sauls at: firstname.lastname@example.org.
More information about the historic site can be found here.

So you come up with a new plan.
And the new plan ends up being amazing.
After I’d said a lot of bad words, ransacked my kitchen and slammed a dozen cabinet doors, I accepted the fact that my Hurst’s chili beans were just gone. GONE. To where? I don’t know. One of the kids probably got bored and glued them to cardboard when I wasn’t looking.
But lucky for me, my pals at Hurst’s keep me supplied with an arsenal of dried bean goodness so I inspected my stash. I kept eying the confetti lentils because lentils are my new obsession. Seriously, why lentils never made it big in the South is beyond me because they remind me so much of all my favorite peas (crowders, especially) and they are so easy to work with. Plus they’re super high in protein and fiber so they’re crazy healthy. See also my Italian Lentil Soup with Sausage
I knew I had to use that beautiful hunk of beef so I googled “beef and lentils” and found out that beef and lentil stew is a thing! I was going to make it a thing anyway but it was comforting to know I wasn’t the only one out there who thought this would be a good combination!
If you love beef stew and you love any Southern pea, you will LOVE this stew! It’s hearty and warm and delicious! Because I’m addicted to it, I ended up making a pot of rice and served the stew over rice. I LOVELOVELOVELOVE eating peas over rice with some fresh sliced tomatoes and that’s exactly what it reminded me of!
If you can’t find Hurst’s Confetti Lentil Soupreme in your local grocery store, ask for it! My grocery store now carries all sorts of products they didn’t have before simply because I asked for them. Just ask the cashier who to talk to to request a product and s/he will point you in the right direction. My store has a list at the Customer Service desk where they notate products their customers' request.
2 pounds London broil, sirloin or chuck roast
Salt & pepper
3-4 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, diced
1 cup diced carrots
4-5 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup dry red wine
4 cups beef broth
3 ½ cups water
1 14.5-oz can petite diced tomatoes
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt (or more to taste)
1 bag Hurst’s Confetti Lentil Soupreme (see notes)
Cut beef into 1-inch pieces. Season liberally with salt and pepper. Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil over medium-high heat in a Dutch oven or soup pot. Add half of beef to hot oil and sear on all sides. Remove beef from pot, set aside in a bowl (to catch all the juices), then repeat with remaining beef, setting it all aside for a bit.
Add onions and carrots to the now empty pot. Season with salt and pepper. Add 1 additional tablespoon of olive oil if necessary then sauté veggies for five minutes. Add minced garlic and continue cooking for 2 minutes.
Add red wine then stir to deglaze the pan. Let wine reduce for 3-4 minutes. Add beef broth, water, tomatoes (undrained), Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt and reserved beef then heat until simmering. Once simmering (not boiling – never let meat boil or it will get tough), reduce heat to medium-low, cover and simmer for 30-45 minutes.
Add lentils with included beef seasoning packet. Increase heat until pot is simmering again, then reduce heat, cover and continue simmering for 45 minutes. Remove from heat and let rest, covered, for 20 minutes then serve. Serve with crusty bread or, if you’re a die-hard, rice-eating southerner like me, serve over rice. Garnish with chopped green onions if desired.
Recipe makes approximately 10 servings.
- If you can’t find Hurst’s Confetti Lentil Soupreme in your market, please ask your grocer for them. Until then, you can order them online or use 2 cups mixed dried lentils, substitute water with additional beef broth and add 2-4 beef bouillon cubes (to taste – not all beef broths are created equal so you may need more bullion for flavor).
- You don’t have to use wine (though I highly recommend it). Substitute with water or broth.
- Feel free to add other veggies to the stew. If I’d had celery laying around, I prolly would have thrown some in there.
The development of this recipe was sponsored by Hurst's Beans. As always, all opinions are my own.

SBA Achieves Historic Small Business Lending for Fiscal Year 2020 with More Than $1.4 Billion in SBA Alaska District
Carranza: Nearly 9 million loans worth $750 billion stabilized small business sector, put it on the road to recovery
ANCHORAGE, Alaska – The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) Alaska District announces FY20 summary loan data of the financial assistance provided through traditional loan program lending as well as aid provided via the CARES Act.
Loans guaranteed through traditional SBA lending programs – which guarantee loans to small businesses that would otherwise not have had access to capital – remained strong and increased in several areas. Additionally, the enactment of the CARES Act dramatically increased loan volume provided by the SBA.
The following is a summary of local and national loan totals:
SBA Loan Summary FY20
National and SBA Alaska District Loan Numbers and Volume
|SBA Alaska District||National|
|Loan Numbers||Loan Volume||Loan Numbers||Loan Volume|
|7(a) Loans||73||$30.3 million||42,000||$22.5 billion|
|504 Loans||9||$5.6 million||7,000||$5.8 billion|
|Total Traditional Lending||82||$35.9 million||54,800||$28 billion|
|PPP Loans (CARES Act)||12,082||$1.3 billion||5.2 million||$525 billion|
|EIDL (COVID-19)||7,588||$451.1 million||3.6 million||$191 billion|
|EIDL Advance (CARES Act)||10,389||$32.7 million||5.7 million||$20 billion|
|Total COVID-19 Relief Loans||30,059||$1.38 billion||14.5 million||$736 billion|
|Total FY 2020 Financing||30,141||$1.4 billion||14.5 million||$764 billion|
“The SBA channeled more than $32 billion to Pacific Northwest small businesses during the Fiscal Year 2020, a capital infusion, unlike our region, has ever seen before,” SBA Pacific Northwest Regional Administrator Jeremy Field said. “By working together with SBA lending and resource partners, the SBA has delivered on its promise to our region’s entrepreneurs to empower them at every stage of their business lifecycle, including recovery. Backed by the strength and stability of the federal government, our team will continue to connect small businesses with the financing they need to fuel the economy.”
The SBA’s flagship 7(a) Loan Program – which can be used for working capital, lines of credit and many other business purposes – had similar loan volume in FY20 compared to the previous fiscal year.
The 504 Loan Program – which helps small businesses acquire fixed assets to promote economic development in the form of long-term fixed-rate financing for fixed assets on reasonable terms up to $5.5 million – had another year of increased performance growing 17.5% from the previous fiscal year.
The Microloan Program – which specifically helps businesses in underserved communities with loans ranging from $500 to $50,000 – achieved a second straight record year performance and increased 4.3% from the previous fiscal year. Additionally, 34% of microloans made in FY20 went to Black-owned small businesses.
The Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) is a forgivable loan program created by the CARES Act and implemented by the SBA and Treasury to primarily finance payroll for small businesses impacted by the Coronavirus pandemic. Highlights from the PPP include:
- 27% of PPP loan volume was in low-and moderate-income communities, which is in proportion to the percentage of population in these areas.
- More than $133 billion, or 25%, of PPP loans were approved for small businesses in Historically Underutilized Business Zones (HUBZones).
- More than $80 billion, or 15%, of total PPP dollars were approved to small businesses in rural communities.
The Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) – which provides low-interest loans to businesses impacted by a disaster – and EIDL Advance – an up to $10,000 loan advance established through the CARES Act – had a historic year approving and disbursing more than three times as many funds for the COVID-19 EIDL program ($211 billion total) as the agency has for all disasters combined in the SBA’s 67-year history ($67 billion). This was also the first time in SBA history that the agency had the statutory authority to declare a pandemic and make disaster loans.
Lending to underserved populations posted another strong year. Lenders reported that minority business owners received $7.5 billion in combined 7(a) and 504 lending, or 27% of the SBA loan portfolio.
Further reported data shows SBA 7(a) lending to women-owned businesses was nearly $2.7 billion in FY20 while lending from the 504 loan program to women-owned businesses was more than $522 million. Additionally, loans to veterans totaled nearly $835 million for the 7(a) and 504 programs.
“In response to the unprecedented challenges faced by small businesses this year, the Trump Administration provided more than three-quarters of a trillion dollars in financial assistance to support impacted small businesses. SBA lending data further reflects the extraordinary commitment this Administration has made to supporting entrepreneurs in underserved communities,” SBA Administrator Jovita Carranza said.
Also of note was the SBA Office of Investment and Innovation, which licensed 26 Small Business Investment Companies (SBICs) with $2.1 billion in private capital during FY20. This was a 44% increase in the number of new licensees and a 72% increase in private capital from new licensees compared to FY19.
The improvement was due in large degree to eliminating procedural delays and unnecessary (duplicative) clearances. The combined private capital and SBA-backed funds now totals $32 billion, the highest in the history of the SBIC Debenture Program. One additional highlight of the SBIC program’s success was the awarding of the first license in nearly two decades to a majority-minority owned and minority operated SBIC in Puerto Rico.

2011 Samsung Mobile 500 Betting Odds Breakdown – Who to Bet On and How to Win Money on NASCAR Betting this week: Racing at Texas Motor Speedway is all about high speeds. The 1.5-mile track has just enough banking and a wide enough surface to allow drivers to barrel off into the corners and accelerate back to the straightaways. Handling and horsepower are both important for success at the track, and past races have shown that driver that can dial in their car at the right time can sneak up and win.
Kurt Busch is one of those drivers that have come out of nowhere to win at Texas, stealing a win from his younger brother Kyle in the closing laps of a 2009 event. Despite the victory, he is only getting 20/1 odds to win Sunday. Granted, he hasn’t been dominant in 2011, but he is sitting inside the top 10 in points. More importantly, he has three top-10s in his last four starts at Texas, including top-five finishes in two of his last three. Bettors should consider throwing a speculative bet his way because it could pay off.
The fact that Mark Martin is getting 22/1 odds to win this weekend is a travesty. The former Texas winner has been on fire at the track lately. He has finished 12th or better in six straight starts at the track, and he has finished sixth or better in his last four. Martin was in contention for the win throughout the fall event last season, eventually winning third. He should be considered one of the favorites, and bettors should be thrilled to see his current odds.
The 2011 season has been a rough one for Jeff Burton, and it has a lot to do with his 30/1 odds this weekend. However, he has actually been pretty stout at the 1.5-mile track. In addition to his win at Texas in 2007, he has finished in the top-15 in seven of his last eight starts. Burton has five top-10s during that stretch, and if he is able to end his current slump, it could end in Victory Lane.
While Burton is among the drivers being disrespected by the oddsmakers, Dale Earnhardt Jr. is getting a little too much credit. At his current 18/1 odds, it is clear that his resurgence in 2011 is starting to win some people over. However, Junior hasn’t run all that well at Texas for several years. He hasn’t had a top-five finish at the track since 2004, and he has just one top-10 finish in his last eight starts. Don’t buy the hype.
He won at the track in 2009, but 12/1 odds for Jeff Gordon are a bit overzealous. He has finished outside the top-10 in three straight starts at Texas, including two straight finishes outside the top-30. At best, Gordon has been a boom or bust driver at Texas, and the odds are not favorable for such a risky pick.
It’s tough to knock Denny Hamlin because he should definitely be one of the favorites for this weekend’s race. After all, he won both races at the track last season and finished second in the start prior. However, there are a lot of outside factors going on with the No. 11 team that should be considered, and making him the overall favorite at 6/1 odds is a bit risky. Hamlin has had three engines issues already in 2011, and he has had fuel mileage problems dating back to last season. He is still winless this year, and he isn’t exactly a sure thing this weekend.

It is increasingly important for organizational leaders to clear the ground and level the playing field for women of color in nonprofit organizations. In order to create environments where women in leadership thrive, nonprofit leaders across the gender spectrum need to understand commonly held gender stereotypes that result in women of color holding outsized responsibilities without the commensurate resources, recognition or room for reflection needed to succeed.
Below, I'll discuss some of the different gender expectations related to organizational citizenship behaviors and sponsorship. Executives who understand the impact of these and other gender expectations can better help black, Latinx and other women of color truly succeed.
The Helping Penalty
Has it ever occurred to you that men and women are differentially affected by "good citizenship" behaviors in the workplace? For example, when there is food at a meeting and plates need to be picked up, it’s very normal to see the women in the room picking them up. When men step in and do it, everyone notices. This is what is meant by organizational good citizenship behaviors.
Research by Heilman and Chen from 2005 shows the difference between how men and women are perceived when they choose to help or not to help. Despite the fact that the research was conducted 15 years ago, my guess is it is still relevant today.
The research describes a situation in which an employee is in a panic over a last-minute copy job. Everyone left the office, but the employee needs help. The experiment is set up so that the employee reaches out to two different people -- one named Kevin and the other named Kathy (names usually associated with male and female gender identities). Both Kevin and Kathy are instructed to help in one scenario and not help in the other scenario.
The research found that employees who assessed the situation didn't rate Kevin with lower reviews when he chose not to help. But when Kathy chose not to help with the copy job, she was reviewed much more negatively than Kevin. Female survey participants rated Kathy with much lower reviews when she didn't help. This shows that both men and women share the perception that women should help when faced with organizational citizenship behaviors.
The way this plays out in my life is when I change my grandbaby’s diaper, it’s expected. But when my husband changes her diaper, people throw a party for him! When the male employee (Kevin) was perceived to have helped, he received similar recognition for his effort among men and women. But when Kathy chose not to help, she was rated significantly lower by both male and female respondents.
These are tricky waters for women to navigate. It’s important for executives and emerging leaders alike to understand these biases that impact the flight path for women.
Finally, I’d like to reflect on the importance of sponsorship. A recent Harvard Business Review article defines a sponsor as "a person who has power and will use it for you." You may have supporters who have power, but won't use it for you when it counts. Or you may have supporters who don't have the power to help you advance. If you are not offered opportunities for growth or given work that is high-profile, you can end up behind the scenes doing work that nobody sees.
Recently, I faced a big promotion opportunity that I didn't get. Today, I am grateful that the person who did get the job has made it a point to encourage me to show up as the fullest and best version of me. He gives me hard feedback when I need it. And he gives me high-profile assignments with plenty of freedom to create and run. Together, we have revamped my position so it maximizes my leadership, plays to my strengths and advances the public image of our organization.
Through this process, I have realized how important it is to have a sponsor within the organization who will cheer you on, encourage you to shine, advocate for you and help guide you through the thickets. As women, we need to make sure we have powerful sponsors within organizations or systems. We must also help sponsor other emerging women and men of color and help them navigate the system. That’s what clearing the ground looks like.
In this three-part series of articles, we have covered the varying expectations for women and men on issues like cooperation, authority, self-confidence, modesty, career negotiations, organizational citizenship behaviors and sponsorship. In all of these areas, leaders across the gender spectrum need to learn about these dynamics and how they impact women of color.
Nonprofit executives are at their best when they develop structures and policies that center on the leadership of women of color, prime for gender biases and eliminate their negative impacts. Only then will we be able to benefit from the full creativity and passion of some of our best and brightest leaders.

This one-of-a-kind screensaver takes a capitalistic slant by endlessly dropping piles of bucks across your screen. 100 Happy Money Screensaver displays a few underwater scenes showing various types of currency (such as American dollars, British pounds, and Swiss francs) floating and drifting around. In terms of design, there’s not much to complain about; the currency looks realistic, and the rays of light filtering through the water add an excellent touch. We also appreciated the sound effects that accompany the rising bubbles, but you can turn them off or enable a wave sound instead. This screensaver’s feature set should satisfy most users. For instance, you can change the type of bills that appear, switch among a dozen background, enable several motion effects, and adjust the appearance of the small clock in the application’s lower-right corner. However, we were a bit miffed that the program places an additional shortcut on your desktop without your permission. Nevertheless, if you need a daily reminder about the power of the almighty dollar, you can bank on this program to deliver it.

Raising Issues – Forklifts and Flooring
At PSR Flooring, you won’t be surprised to learn that industrial flooring is our speciality, and we offer a pretty comprehensive service that deals with the installation and repair of such floor surfaces. We reckon that maintaining your floor is an essential practice, especially when you’re dealing with pretty common industrial equipment like forklift trucks. Want to know more? Read on…
Forklift Truck Health and Safety
Forklift trucks have a lot of health and safety laws surrounding them. For example, you need to…
- Have drivers that wear the correct safety equipment and possess full qualifications.
- Properly maintain forklift trucks and equipment using regular inspections.
- Drive a forklift truck at a safe speed at all times.
- Make sure there is always enough space around the forklift.
- Maintain visibility whenever the forklift is in use.
- Only use a forklift if the load is both stable and evenly distributed.
Floor-Related Forklift Hazards
However, one of the biggest accidents-waiting-to-happen is the need to avoid potential hazards. Bumps and potholes in an expanse of flooring are definitely worth giving a wide berth to, as you don’t want your forklift becoming damaged, as that compromises its safety. Driving over debris is also a no-go for the same reason. Forklift trucks can become worse for wear very easily, and your flooring type is a major component in the strategy to keep them functioning.
If your flooring is damaged or unsuitable, your forklift is going to take a battering, and so is the person at the wheel. Potholes can also cause issues with stability, which is another major concern. Don’t make the mistake of thinking that it’s just about having the right kind of flooring installed either, as even the right sort of surface can become a hazard if you don’t keep a close eye on maintenance. No material is indestructible, and even the most hard-wearing substance degrades over time. That’s why you need to keep on top of maintenance and not rest on your laurels.
Expansion Joints and Maintenance
Take something like an expansion joint. These features are almost mandatory in concrete floors, as they prevent heat-induced expansion and contraction, which you definitely don’t want in your floors. They also combat vibration and the like, so all told, if you want to keep your floor in tip-top condition, they’re a must-have. However, many forklift drivers hate them, so why is this?
The catch with expansion joints is not that they cause problems in of themselves; as we’ve just stated, they prevent them. However, they stop being all that helpful when they start to soak up the wear and tear. When they begin to be damaged under heavy use, the natural gaps in expansion joints turn into potholes. Remember that thing we said didn’t mix well with forklifts? Yep, that’s right, potholes. Because of their solid tyres, forklift trucks have very little suspension to count on, so any impact from a pothole really jolts the person in the back, which isn’t something you want.
Contact PSR for Industrial Floor Repairs
As you can see, keeping your flooring ‘forklift-friendly’ is not entirely about installing the right features; it’s also just as much about keeping your flooring in great condition. That’s where we come in, as we can also carry out high quality floor repairs. This means that we can look after your needs at any stage of the flooring process. From start to finish, we guarantee that we can help you.
If you’d like to take advantage of our proven service for industrial flooring installation and repairs, be sure to contact our team today by calling 01226 382864 and we’ll be happy to assist you.

About This Work
A felt sense of safety, spontaneity and presence in the here and now is the goal. Through kind and attuned deep listening, reflection and coaching, I help folks establish easeful attentional control and openness to healthy human pleasure and enjoyment. This impacts every part of life, from our general state to our behaviors and relationships.
For so many of us these days, it is attention itself that is hijacked. We are unable to focus on one thing at a time, find it difficult to settle down, and find ourselves chronically feeling and thinking about what is wrong, scary or upsetting. From a nervous system perspective, we understand this to be a physiological experience, and one we can work with. The human nervous system is "self-reinforcing", which means that our symptoms, addictive behaviors and somatic (body-based) experiences have the primary goal of ensuring our survival and stability, even if that stability keeps us feeling stagnant, or suffering. For folks with a history of physically or emotionally unsafe environments and relationships, this stability was a necessity, but we are grown now, and we want to keep growing! How do we support the systemic change we're looking for? This is where good support, knowledge of the nervous system and a positive reinforcement paradigm comes in.
When we see the world through the lens of our overwhelming and negative experiences, it deeply affects how we are able to live our lives and the possibilities we sense for the future. Not only is the world we live in actually challenging and stressful, but we are dealing with a backlog. The first thing we can do is normalize this and give each other permission to let go of the deep shame associated with not feeling good. The second thing we can do is get caring support that opens the brainstem to new and more positive experiences. A foundational practice in this process is called orienting, which means connecting to the environment through the senses. Connecting to the environment through the senses may sound simple, but you'd be surprised how impactful this practice is.
In the Organic Intelligence model we track the guidance and resources that come from the body. And, we take care to become reacquainted with our bodies and sensations in a way that is routed through simple human pleasure and a reconnection to what feels good! We know that positive reinforcement is most effective, so we reinforce what is working already: what is empowering, what is resourcing and integrating. In this model there is no need to "push through resistance" or force change.
Orientation and expanding our capacity for pleasure lay the groundwork for processing safe waves or "thresholds" of activation in the nervous system, which is our backlog of self-protective energy from past experiences. This has the dual purpose of thawing the freeze response and growing a greater flexibility in response to the circumstances of life. This is the kind of resiliency we're after- that of an "auto-organizing" nervous system that requires little to no effort to manage or control. Can you imagine just being able to "be"?
Many people find it is difficult to feel much at all, and a dullness, emptiness or lack of energy dominates their life. This is a function of the freeze response. In this case we use the same principles, with further work with the physiological states that underlie shut down. Please know that this experience is not your fault.
My practice includes work with the self-protective responses of fight, flight, fawn and freeze. These responses are designed to be short-lived, not to last forever and run the show from under the surface, interfering with a healthy, happy life.
There are many experiences that point to stress and disregulation in the nervous system. Some of these are strong emotional triggers, feeling unable to come down from stress on one's own, a pronounced startle response or general jumpiness, depression, social anxiety, fear, feeling manic, intrusive imagery, sensations or thoughts, hypervigilence, outbursts, addictive behavior, chronic physical illness, digestive issues and insomnia. I offer somatic coaching based in principles from the Somatic Experiencing and Organic Intelligence clinical protocols combined with my own professional background in bodywork, meditation and facilitation. This is not the same nor a replacement for work with a psychotherapist, and I refer clients and contacts to other professionals when appropriate.
What is it like to work together?
Please visit the Schedule page to set up a free consultation for us to connect and get to know each other. I work with folks both longterm who are looking to receive deep ongoing support, and I work with folks who would like more short term and/or sporadic support. Many clients choose a recurring weekly or biweekly appointment, while others find the most freedom in autonomy and schedule sessions one or two at a time.
My sessions are based in what we call "a free association conversation", where we talk, connect and explore sensations, emotions, imagery and sensory mindfulness. This free association conversation is sometimes totally organic and other times may include guided practice and/or suggestions for practices and resources outside of sessions. Some folks have a wealth of things to share right off the bat, and there is plenty of time and space to do so. Others feel best when there is a bit more structure and guidance. The benefit of the work is equal for both totally spontaneous sessions as well as sessions based in more shaping and guidance, because everyone is different and the foundational principles and skills I use are the same across the board.
My practice is rooted in an orientation toward justice, cultural humility and a reverence for the study of complex systems. I am proud to be part of a new culture in the healing arts that acknowledges how deeply we are shaped by systems, both positive and violent/oppressive, from our family systems, cultural systems, political and ecological systems, all the way down to the systems inside our own bodies.

Today, a judge put off a decision on whether to bar Los Angeles from enforcing its new medical marijuana ordinance against four collectives, leaving the scores of dispensaries that have filed suit in limbo more than three weeks after the law became effective.
Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Anthony J. Mohr said that he believed the city’s ordinance was imperfect, but also said he was not certain the defects violated the rights of collectives forced to shut down by June 7, when the law went into effect.
“It looks to me as if this statute’s got some shortcomings,” he said.
But Mohr appeared to tilt slightly toward the city’s argument, saying the City Council’s efforts to regain control over public safety issue -- the explosive increase in the number of dispensaries -- may be valid even if flawed.
“The city is very clearly trying to get control of the situation,” he said.
A decision to grant preliminary injunctions could bring a halt to the city’s efforts to close about 400 dispensaries and might force the City Council to revise the law. Although the injunctions would apply to four dispensaries, scores more would probably seek similar orders.
The stores seeking the injunction are Green Horizon Collective in Chatsworth, 420 Caregivers in Hollywood, 420 Collective in Mar Vista and Organic Healing Center in Eagle Rock.
David Welch, who represents 44 dispensaries in two lawsuits, said the impact of the delay was huge. He has advised his clients to keep their dispensaries closed until there is a decision.
“We’re going to fight until it’s done,” he told about 30 dispensary operators in the hall after the hearing.
Several declined to give their names when asked to comment, fearful of retribution from the city and cognizant of Welch’s advice to be careful when talking to the media. “The doors are closed, but the meter is running,” said one operator who is still paying rent and hoping to reopen.
William W. Carter, the chief deputy city attorney, argued that Los Angeles had a rational basis for limiting the number of dispensaries, noting that they have drawn armed robbers and created nuisances in some neighborhoods.
“The ordinance is attempting to restrict or minimize the number of targets,” he said.
After hours of questioning, Mohr concluded the pivotal issue is whether the City Council can restrict the dispensaries to those that registered with the city in 2007. Welch argued that the provision violates the due process and equal protection rights of collectives that did not register because it was based on an expired moratorium.
Under a moratorium on new outlets that became effective Sept. 14, 2007, all existing dispensaries were required to register by Nov. 13, 2007. But a Los Angeles County Superior Court judge said in an earlier decision that the council failed to follow proper procedures when it extended the ban beyond 45 days, making it invalid at the time of the registration deadline.
Mohr appeared to agree. “I will tell you it’s an imperfect basis,” he said to Carter.
“But it’s still a rational basis,” Carter responded. “It’s based on the lay of the land at a certain date.”
The city’s attorneys argued that if the council had made a mistake, it was simply procedural, could have been easily remedied and should not invalidate the ordinance.
Mohr asked both sides to submit additional briefs by July 23, and he will rule after that.
The judge also rejected several other arguments the dispensaries made against the ordinance. He said it did not matter that they may not have known about the requirement to register.
“Ignorance of the law is no excuse. That’s fundamental,” he said. And he said that the city’s decision to give business tax certificates to dispensaries did not confer a vested property right.
“I’m very much on the city’s side on that,” he said.
