As a family of readers, we’ve shared hundreds of books together and collectively read hundreds more. We have varied tastes and find ourselves sharing a love of some books but also find there are others we just can’t agree on. With today’s post we want to share our individual top ten favorite books in the youth fiction category. Our family defines youth fiction as books which feature young protagonists, usually between ages eight or nine and thirteen to fourteen. Themes may be intense but the content – language, violence, sexuality, etc are appropriate for kids that same age. If these books were rated they’d be rated G or PG. Finally, we heartily agree with C.S. Lewis who said, “A children’s story that can only be enjoyed by children is not a good children’s story in the slightest.”
Books with a star following (*) indicate that it is part of a series.
Without further adieu then, here are each of our ten favorite books in the youth fiction category.

Who Are We?
Duvy Greenberg is the son of NAACP lawyer Jack Greenberg, the close friend of Thurgood Marshall. But that doesn’t matter. While Duvy cares about what he sees on TV and what he hears whispered from his parents’ bedroom, he is far more interested in not making a fool of himself in Football than Civil Rights. In Selma Alabama, Dorthy Milton wants to vote, but as a black woman living in the segregated south, this is easier said than done. When she fails the ridiculous test that racist voting officials make up for her, Dorthy is determined to see change. She is ready for action and lucky for her, the Doctor Reverend Martin Luther King Jr. is coming to Selma and she might just be able to help. An interesting blend of historical fiction and autobiography, this book alternates between the fictionalized childhood of the author, son of a prominent Civil Rights Lawyer, and the dramatized events that occurred in Selma Alabama, 1965.
The Tugging String is interesting because the author is the actual son of NAACP lawyer, Jack Greenberg. Using memories from his childhood and fictionalization of historical events, Greenberg weaves a masterful piece of historical fiction that brings to life the troubling events of the Selma Montgomery marches and American life in 1965. The book skips between Duvy and Dorthy’s perspectives and it is interesting because, unlike in most dual point of view (POV) books, the two main characters are completely different, both in their ages and their walk of life. On top of that, they never meet anytime during the story. The stories do not connect very much and while they are somewhat parallel, it’s a crooked kind of parallel. However, the dual POV sheds an interesting light on the riots in Selma, offering a close-up perspective with Dorthy while Duvy feels and sees the effects of the marches from afar. The book perfectly captures a national struggle with racism, fear and freedom. It brings to life a period of American history clearly and honestly. The book stays pretty close to history and is realistic in tone, yet the drama of the times is enough on its own to ensure a thrilling read. I would highly recommend The Tugging String by David Greenberg.

Johnny Tremain is an apprentice silversmith and his career has nowhere to go but up. Already the most valuable apprentice in his workshop, Johny even begins to rival his master in skill. However Johnny wants more, things in Boston are brewing and Johnny can feel it in the air. It’s 1773 and the Sons of Liberty and British regulars occupying the city are clashing at every opportunity, change is in the air, fresh and smelling of freedom. On top of that, new revelations and old secrets surrounding the mysterious origin of Johnny’s family begin to resurface and the young silversmith is willing to do anything to get to the bottom of it. All around him, Johnny sees people making choices, carrying secrets; everyone is somehow caught up in the tumultuous activities that are pulling not just Boston, but all of the American Colonies, closer and closer into conflict with King George. As Johnny gets pulled deeper into the conflict he must question everything, his trade, his family, and his identity.
Johnny Tremain can take its place without question on the list of best historical fictions ever written. It encapsulates the thrilling years leading up to the Boston Tea Party and Battle of Lexington, bringing historic figures like James Otis, John Hancock and John and Samuel Adams to life with perfect clarity. The setting and characters are realistic, compelling, and relatable and the plot is fascinating and full of twists. Without a doubt, it is the best historical fiction written about the American Revolution; not only does it bring to light the events and historical figures of the era as a main element of the plot, but it also has an independent and completely fascinating plot line that runs parallel to the historical events. The character of Johnny is particularly riveting. Although advertised as a “children’s classic” the book in content and volume is probably more of a young adult read, with complicated plots and, as an older book, language that might be difficult for beginning readers to grasp. I would highly recommend Johnny Tremain.

After an accident on his Wyoming farm that leaves twelve year old Johnny Littlehorn on crutches, his French mother decides to send him to France, where hopefully better Doctors and fresh air can cure him. Johnny is not happy to go to France and even less happy when he finds he must spend the summer with his Uncle in the sleepy little village of St. Charmant. However, once he gets there things soon begin to change. Johnny is fascinated by the “Automatic Airplane ” his Uncle is building, and begins to grow suspicious when mysterious strangers from Paris seem to have followed him to the village. With the help of his new friends, Johnny begins to uncover what might just be a Nazi plot, and learns how to overcome his injury and the impossibility of the French language. The Avion My Uncle Flew is a fun, fast paced story of spies, secrets and sabotage set in the French countryside in the years following the Second World War.
This was one of my favorite books through middle school. The story was exotic and fresh, yet captured my imagination with the same themes of boyish adventure that can be found in classics like Tom Sawyer or Treasure Island. The themes of overcoming adversity, friendship and discovery run thick through the pages of this book, and set against the backdrop of a serene Alpine village, the book creates a story world that is hard to get out of. I thought the characters were all exceptionally well developed and the plot, although breakneck and at times somewhat “coincidental”, was well woven and kept me at the edge of my seat. I found the elements where Johnny had to learn French particularly interesting. Along the way you might just pick up a few French phrases yourself. The parts of the book where Johnny is injured and must push through his pain towards recovery could be encouraging to those battling an injury of sickness. While the main plot is serious, the author maintains a strong thread of humor through the entire narrative. Overall this book had the makings of a classic – timeless characters, unique setting and a fascinating plot. I would highly recommend it.

It all started because Holling Hoodhood was a Presbyterian. On Wednesdays, a bus came from the Temple Beth El to take a load to Hebrew School and an hour later the bus from St. Alberts to take the rest of the class to Catechism and Holling was left alone with Mrs. Baker all day long. At first it was a struggle, having to clean the chalkboards and take out the trash but then Mrs. Baker decided that it was about time that Holling picked up Shakespeare. Through the book Holling Hoodhood must struggle with track, bullies, an annoying sister, unrealistic expectations from his family and of course Wednesdays with Mrs. Baker. Hilarious to the breaking point yet touching and heartfelt this book is a wonderful blend of humor and heartbreak, showing what it was like growing up in one of the most infamous decades of American History.
There are very few books that can be both flamboyantly hilarious, and deeply touching at the same time and this book is definitely one of them. When I read this book I can’t count the amount of times I laughed out loud, while other parts of the book brought me close to tears. The characters are exceptionally well developed, the voice of the protagonist, Holling, in particular is very defined (I swear I could pick Holling out in any book I read, even years later) and the themes are powerful and deep. The book is not very plot driven so don’t expect any shocking revelations or high speed car chases, but what the book does offer is a peek into the life of a boy living in the 1960’s, a school story, yet in some ways, much more. In that aspect it does not disappoint, the book feels genuine, as if the author spent hours carefully crafting every page and the humor is killer. I would recommend this books for all ages. It is a timeless piece that can be enjoyed by both children and adults.

Refugee is the story of three kids, Mahmud, Isabel and Joseph, separated by time but connected by a common experience. Mahmud, a boy who only wants peace, leaves a nightmare in his homeland Syria, to seek a better life in Europe. Isabel, an ambitious girl who dreams of playing the trumpet, flees Castro’s Cuba in a small raft, with the hope of reaching America. Joseph boards the ocean liner, St. Louis to leave the life of persecution in Nazi Germany to seek asylum in Cuba, and hopefully, put together the pieces of his broken family. Although each of their journeys is different, the common thread of the refugee experience weaves through them all, showing what it’s like to risk everything for a chance of a new life.
I personally thought Refugee was a great book. There are very few books that describe the refugee experience and this book did it masterfully. I found it slightly melodramatic at points, but in the context of the plot these scenes were not particularly disruptive. The characters were equally compelling and all three storylines equally interesting, something that is often lacking in books with multiple main characters. The book was riveting, the plot and the characters developing at about even rates. I also liked that although the three stories are separate, they all come together at the end, making the book feel more connected overall. The author does a wonderful job of capturing the cultural aspects of each of the stories. The diversity of the stories was also nice, helping break up the narrative. Mahmud’s journey was very much a modern refugee experience, Isabel’s more of a survival thread, as her family floats towards Florida on an overcrowded raft, and Joseph’s almost the opposite of a typical refugee tale, as his family travels from Germany to Cuba on a luxury liner. However the themes of fear, mistrust, confusion and loss echo through all three storylines. Overall, it was a wonderfully woven book. Although written at a middle grade level, it would also be a fascinating read for adults. Some thematic elements and intense scenes may not be appropriate for young or sensitive children.

General forum talking area for T/QT series TVs.
1 post • Page 1 of 1
I recently updated the firmware on my Samsung Q80T series TV and since then, I've been experiencing an audio syncing issue. The audio is consistently lagging behind the video, making it difficult to enjoy anything I'm watching. I've tried adjusting the audio sync settings in the TV's menu and even tried connecting through different HDMI ports, but nothing seems to fix the issue. I've also checked for any new firmware updates to see if it's a known issue and was resolved but there seems nothing available. It's extremely frustrating because the TV was working perfectly fine before the update. Has anyone else been experiencing this problem or found a solution? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

As Jerome and Kevin bide their time until Better Call Saul Season 6, they turn to a show that in some respects is a “reverse Breaking Bad.” HBO’s dark comedy “Barry” explores the life of a bored assassin whose lust for a “regular” life is sparked by a visit to Los Angeles, and (some very dark) hilarity ensues!
Jerome and Kevin discuss Bill Hader, how they discovered the show, and go through the first Season episode by episode. Throughout the discussion they sing the praises of Henry Winkler, Stephen Root, D’Arcy Carden and Anthony Carrigan, talk about how some of the more understated acting makes for the best moments, and the problematic nature of some character choices, especially with hindsight!
Jerome & Kevin have completed podcasts on Veronica Mars, Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul and Halt and Catch Fire. Individually Jerome is the co-host of The Superhero Pantheon and Pantheon Plus while Kevin has done shows on LOST and Adventure Time.
The Matt Signal, a Batman The Animated Series recap, continues each Saturday and Sunday. This weekend Nightwing flirts with Catwoman and Scarecrow robs Batman of his sense of fear.

Glorious sunshine and a lovely sandy beach met the Lark fleet as they arrived in Bridlington for their 2008 National Championships.
Saturday was spent boat bimbling and enjoying the sun before they all set sail for their practice race. Race Officer Bob (Arkie) Wainwright made the most of the fabulous conditions to give the fleet some gate start practice before holding a trapezium course race. Light wind specialists Julia and Stuart Allen lead from the start and were delighted to get their first nationals win.
The fleet again set sail on Sunday in beautiful sunny conditions. After the usual first race general recall, the fleet set off in 10knots of Easterly breeze. Jeremy Stephens and Ellie Bremner showed the fleet how it’s done with a magnificent port-end flier. The pair led from start to finish to secure their first bullet. Defending Champions Steve Cumley and Eluned Jones followed in second but were over-taken by Alan Krailing and Ed McArdle (2006 winners) only to get them back as the mist rolled in to reduce visibility to 5 boat lengths.
Meanwhile in the silver and bronze fleets, a lot of position changing took place as the fleet raced round the trapezium course. Dan Watson and Harrie Condie had a great day to finish 10th and first in the silver fleet. Bronze fleet winners were Jamie Mayhew and Tom Power with a 29th.
Two races were scheduled for Sunday but despite a tremendous effort from the race team, the shifty conditions meant only one race was sailed.
Tonight is the Crew’s Union and Board of Directors which guarantees a few sore heads on Monday morning.
1st 2347 Jeremy Stephens & Ellie Bremmer, Penzance SC

Tribal financial products are actually brief loans given by a loan provider determined tribal area that is held and operated because of the local American group. These financing options experience their own great amount of debate because some tribal creditors declare immunity from federal and state guidelines. They usually are given instead of cash loans. However, tribal lending cost pricey expenses and rates of interest which can be like payday and title personal loans.
This informative article produces a detailed guidebook on what tribal money get the job done and just how they rival some other loan providers. But the bottom line is that tribal lending tend to be a last-resort source of credit. Escape tribal financial products unless you are in a real emergency, and you have researched additional options, just like receiving the second tasks, attempting to sell goods you don’t have or borrowing because of your friends.

You could be surprised by the charge and terminology you get. It doesnt harmed your credit history, and yes it merely gets two mins to complete online loans Indiana. To illustrate, the lenders here will think about programs from borrowers with a poor credit score.
Defining tribal sovereign immunity?
Tribal sovereign immunity try a security that allows Indian people as well as their agencies to regulate their own personal considerations in a way that benefits the group. Just recently, some payday loan providers and various non-tribal financial institutions have created hyperlinks with people to profit from tribal immunity and sidestep county usury regulations.
Just how can tribal funding change from typical short-term debts? And what rewards can they offer? Let us take a closer look.
Understanding a tribal money?
Tribal lending products usually are advertised instead of payday advance loan for unexpected emergency cash loans. Like gambling casino built on tribal secure, tribal lenders work under tribal sovereignty compared to state guiidelines. This credit construction is much like the “rent-a-bank” set-up since closed by several federal regulators for the 2000s, that helped payday creditors to partner with out-of-state bankers to profit from your creditors’ ability to pertain percentage of interest that were legal in county but illegal under payday creditors state law.

NAFSA money are usually better to obtain than typical signature loans and gives a whole lot more versatile amount packages. However, they even demand higher-than-average yearly percent prices (APRs).
Tribal loaning vs. pay day credit
Most mean NAFSA members’ Tribal debt people (TLEs) financing as payday loans. But this nomenclature is deceitful tribal loans are far more like installment lending products than cash loans. Even though they both posses higher than normal APRs of payday advance loans, their particular a lot more adaptable installment build means they are a safer option for borrowers.
As mentioned in Cottrell, tribal on line payment personal loans have actually certain importance over storefront pay day loans. Small-dollar installment finance is structurally very much like typical funding, which a portion of the main and curiosity include paid back each cycle.
This allows consumers a whole lot more convenience month to month, in place of one huge lump sum compensation attribute of payday loans.
Common small bucks payment financing range from $500-$2000 with compensation stretches between 6 months and two several years. Furthermore, unlike payday loans, installment money please do not increase their particular fees with rollover rates.

This morning Ashton and I pulled into the Dry Creek parking lot in Alpine at around 8:30 and began an awesome tour.
I grew up in Highland Utah where I have a perfect view of the South face of Box Elder, so naturally I’ve always wanted to ski it. There’s something about being able to see something from home, it makes you want to ski it.
There’s a gully on this south face that holds snow longer than the rest of the face, and farmers used to use it to determine if they would have enough water for the year. They say that if there is snow there on the 4th of July there will be enough water that year. I’m pretty sure we’ll have enough water this year.
To start the tour, we skinned up the Dry Creek hiking trail up towards horse-tail falls. This is a popular trail all times of the year, so we saw several hikers and sledders while we were out.
After passing the meadow a little over a mile up, we turned right through the trees and skinned up one of the shoulders that is fairly low angle. From there it’s pretty much a straight shot towards the west face of Box Elder. From there we wrapped around the South end, and then booted up the South ridge. The views from this area are incredible. You’re surrounded by some of the coolest looking mountains in the world: Mount Timpanogos and Lone Peak, as well as the valley below which is half filled with water, something I don’t think we appreciate enough. It makes it so much more beautiful in my opinion. And then you could also look East into Heber and American Fork Canyon. It didn’t matter which direction you looked, it was spectacular.
It was also while we were up here that I learned why the gully holds snow so much longer than the rest of the south face.
The ridge we were hiking up had no snow. NO SNOW! Considering this area has a base depth of around 200 inches it seems impossible that there could be straight rocks along an entire ridge. But because the wind blows so consistently from the east to the west over this ridge, the gully probably has 400 inches while the ridge has 0. Wild.
When we summited there was a group of three that had gotten to the top a few minutes before us. They approached by following the normal hiking trail all the way to the summit by following the North ridge, which is the more common approach. We talked to them for a few minutes before dropping into the South face.
The south face is all right around 30 degrees, and the views while coming down are amazing. Thankfully the snow had started softening up by the time we were coming down so although not great, the turns were reasonable as we descended the roughly 1000 significant feet.
From there we cut across the bottom before transitioning to go summit the Box Elder South Summit. It’s super low angle, and we popped over there just to check it out and check another one off the list. The views of North Timpanogos and American Fork Canyon from the South Summit were breathtaking! We mused over the idea of skiing all the way down to the American Fork Canyon road from here, through what we believe is called Tank Canyon. We might have to plan a day to attempt something like that. Might be super cool!
After getting our head out of the clouds we skied down and then back over to the base of Box Elder to summit again. This time we opted to skin up the face rather than boot the shoulder. It was maybe a little bit better, but neither option was excellent due to variable snow.
Once we were at the top again we transitioned and skied the North face. It was amazing. The snow had supririsngly stayed soft and consistent, despite the high temperatures and strong sun! That’s why North facing stuff is so great.
It was definitely one of the coolest lines I’ve skied this winter, and I’m really happy we nailed it on such a good day!
After the initial 2,000 feet or so, there was around 1500 feet that was tough! The snow was super mushy and hard to make turns in, but we eventually made it to the hiking trail where the final 2000 feet were pretty reasonable.
Check out our route here:
There is so much potential in this area, and we’ll definitely be back to ski more lines, and summit more peaks.

Making Great Tasting Cold Brew Coffee At Home
Posted on February 20, 2016
Almost all coffee lovers, particularly those of us who enjoy warm summers, or at least a quick holiday in the sun, have experienced a luxurious, sweet and delicious iced coffee. Cold brew coffee takes the cold coffee experience to a whole new level as we're no longer just pouring some coffee over ice, sweetening and adding cream.
All of those steps from altering the chemistry of the coffee through brewing it warm, which can extract more acid and bitter chemicals, as well as causing the resulting coffee to 'go off' if it is stored in the fridge for days, to changing the temperature rapidly through pouring it over ice, can result in a less smooth and refreshing cup of coffee. Cold brewing your coffee avoids many of these issues.
You can read more about the science behind cold brewing, and why many drinkers find that not only is cold-brewed coffee smoother and more delicious, but also easier on the stomach. For those of you who just want to get stuck into some delicious cold brew, let's press on to some instructions.

People Should Fight For What They Believe
Miranda always tried to pull me down and criticized my work in the office. When Bill and I sat for lunch one day I discovered that he was as agitated by Miranda’s behavior as I was. From there began a new friendship! We both checked each other’s work and gave honest opinions so that even when Miranda was criticizing our work we both could tell each other that it meant nothing! I was happy that I had found an honest friend and Bill was happy that there was someone to tell him that his work was good. I think this is what makes friendships strong…knowing that you have the same enemies!
I believe that people should fight for what they believe and only what they believe.

The smaller Berner weighs between 70 and 115 pounds, and he measures between 23 and 27 ½ inches tall. The Saint Bernard weighs much more, between 120 and 180 pounds, and he measures 26 to 30 inches tall. It is this size difference that often determines which dog breed they choose.
Do Bernese moutain dogs get along with other dogs?
- Most Bernese Mountain Dogs should get along well with other dogs both big and small. It shouldn’t be too hard as long as the other dog isn’t aggressive. But precautions should be made and it is important to give lots of exposure to other dogs to your Bernese from the moment they’re a puppy.

What’s the difference between a St. Bernard and Bernese?
Saint Bernard is considerably larger and heavier than Bernese mountain dogs. Bernese mountain dogs usually live longer than Saint Bernard dogs. Grooming is essential for Bernese mountain dogs but not for Saint Bernard. Saint Bernard and Bernese mountain dogs are cousins in origin but are originated in different places.
What dog looks like a Saint Bernard but smaller?
There are two sizes of Mini St. Bernards. The Micro is the smaller one and weighs about 25 pounds and the Nehi is the bigger one at about 50 pounds.
What is the smallest mountain dog?
The Entlebucher, or Entle for short, is a Swiss herding breed related to the Appenzeller, the Bernese Mountain Dog, and the Greater Swiss Mountain Dog; of the four, he’s the smallest.
Is there a smaller version of a Bernese mountain dog?
The Miniature Bernese Mountain Dog is a cross between a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and a Bernese Mountain Dog. Overall, they are versatile, sturdy dogs that are loving and affectionate companions. Due to its smaller size, a Mini Bernese Mountain Dog is a highly adaptable dog breed.
Is a St Bernard or Bernese Mountain Dog bigger?
The smaller Berner weighs between 70 and 115 pounds, and he measures between 23 and 27 ½ inches tall. The Saint Bernard weighs much more, between 120 and 180 pounds, and he measures 26 to 30 inches tall. The Berner is the only mountain dog to have a long and silky coat.
What size is a Bernese Mountain Dog?
Mini Saint Bernard Has Two Possible Sizes There are two sizes of the Mini Saint Bernard. The Micro Saint Bernard is 12-16 inches tall and weighs around 15-35 pounds. In contrast, the Nehi Saint Bernard is about 16-29 inches tall and weighs around 40-60 pounds. Still, they are usually at least 50% Saint Bernard.
How big is a mini St Berdoodle?
Mini Saint Berdoodle Size The “Mini” St. Berdoodle is a very ironic term since Saint Bernard is so giant, but generally speaking, a Mini St. Berdoodle will be a dog that is less than 40 pounds and stand around 20 or so inches tall.
Are there short haired St Bernards?
Saint Bernards can be found in two coat types: shorthaired and longhaired. The shorthaired coat is smooth but dense.

Top 10 Mountain Dog Breeds
- St. Bernard.
- Bernese Mountain Dog.
- Greater Swiss Mountain Dog.
- Siberian Husky.
- Icelandic Sheepdog.
- Entlebucher Sennenhund.
- Karakachan Bear Dog.
- Tibetan Mastiff.
Which dog is bigger Newfoundland or Bernese mountain dog?
The Newfoundland (or Newfie for short) is also a member of the working breed group. But he’s much larger than the Bernese Mountain Dog. Newfies were bred to work alongside Canadian fishermen on the rugged Atlantic coast.
What breed is similar to Bernese mountain dog?
The Greater Swiss mountain dog is not only majestic, but agile, even weighing in at over 100 pounds. Like the Bernese mountain dog, they have roots in Switzerland and love their tasks, originally bred to pull carts and corral cattle in the mountains.
What is a tiny Bernedoodle?
A Tiny Bernedoodle is a F1B Mini Bernedoodle. That means that a Tiny Bernedoodle is 25% Bernese mountain dog and 75% Mini Poodle. Some breeders use toy poodles to create Tiny Bernedoodles. Sometimes the Tiny Bernedoodle is referred to as the Micro Mini Bernedoodle.
How much is a miniature Bernedoodle?
How much does a mini Bernedoodle cost? A mini Bernedoodle (less than 35 pounds) typically will cost around $4,000. This assumes that the mini Bernedoodle isn’t a micro mini Bernedoodle (less than 20 pounds). The micro mini Bernedoodles are technically mini Bernedoodles, but they will cost more money.

CNN’s Chris Cuomo Uses Latest Fort Hood Shooting to Push Gun Control Agenda
CNN’s Chris Cuomo Uses Fort Hood Shooting To Push Gun Control Agenda (NewsBusters)
For the second time in five years, Fort Hood was the site of a shooting by a rogue member of the military. While the shooting, which occurred during the afternoon of Wednesday April 2, had fewer victims than the one five years ago, CNN predictably used the tragedy to push for greater gun control in America.
After Piers Morgan's Twitter tirade on Wednesday night, CNN’s Chris Cuomo wondered despite the shooter having mental health issues, why he was “Still able to walk into a private store and get this semi-automatic handgun that he winds up using, not a military issued weapon, his own. Don't you think that's something that needs to be addressed in terms of who's abled to get these conceal carry permits and weapons?”


When first asked to write this piece regarding the developments in marketing and advertising over recent decades, I thought it would be a jolly romp through the recent history of these two honourable professions sprinkled with a few lively anecdotes and ‘must hear’ stories but the more I pondered the possible content the more a darker side to all this emerged. So here goes with some darkness and hopefully some light relief as well.
When I started my career in this profession there seemed no end to the creative possibilities and endless stream of good ideas, from gluing a car on a poster, to monkeys selling tea; it was all a great adventure but with a purpose – to sell goods and services and to do it with some style and possibly some humour – and no expense was spared.
I can recall working for a leading London advertising agency who employed a ‘stylist’ to attend all of the international fashion shows in order that they would know what colours to dress their models in the ads for next years’ campaigns – what a job! Clients and agencies actively enjoyed the process of creating ads and campaigns and would even talk about this in the pub once all of the business had been done. I think, looking back, that everyone felt they were breaking new ground knowingly or unknowingly and were happy to be a part of it.
As times got tougher marketing departments were challenged to justify the spending on their campaigns and a hint of caution crept in as whilst everyone knew instinctively that a good campaign was working for the brand – proving it was quite a different matter. So, more cautious campaigns were developed and metrics and analytics introduced to attempt to prove the efficacy of each campaign. This was, of course, quite necessary but in the process, something of the creative spirit was crushed.
Now enters into this scene a new protagonist in the shape of digital media, initially websites but then a whole flood of social media sites, blogs, tweets, podcasts, eShots and the rest and suddenly there is measurability – great cries of success from the naysayers and budget holders who at last can take their marketing pound and see what it has done to increase sales, profit and ‘engagement’. This aimed a further body blow at the creatives and more direct selling messages appear along with the inevitable analytics.
Now there is absolutely nothing wrong with analysing your campaigns to make sure that they are effective but what seems to have got lost in the midst of all this is that quantitative measures have become all important whilst qualitative seems to have taken a back seat along with the creative risk taking we have seen in past campaigns. Obviously, there are exceptions to every rule and the brilliance on using meerkats to promote a comparison website has paid dividends.
So what of the future? Is there hope for creative commercial messages – yes as both the human spirit and the entrepreneurial instincts cry out for an initiative in the communications strategy which will stand out from the crowd and give a brand that elusive competitive advantage. So, let’s look forward to an increase in creative risk taking, bold clients who will give their agencies exciting briefs and the positive use of all that digital media can offer in todays’ brave new communication world.

Recall that in the latest Wisconsin budget, not only was LIRC’s budget cut and its general counsel made a political appointee of the Governor, but the Labor and Industry Review Commission was also transferred from DWD to the Department of Administration for budgetary purposes.
The problem with this change is that administration of unemployment law is funded through a federal tax that employers pay. The funds are then channeled from the feds to the state agency responsible for unemployment law in the state, namely DWD in the case of Wisconsin. Since LIRC is now no longer part of DWD for budgetary purposes, LIRC faces the prospect of losing all of its federal unemployment funding (as well as some equal rights funding that also comes from the feds).
So, AB685 and SB560 create a mechanism for transferring federal funds from DWD to LIRC for its federally funded work.
As the LRB explains:
Under prior law, the Labor and Industry Review Commission (LIRC) was attached to the Department of Workforce Development (DWD) and moneys were appropriated to DWD for the activities of LIRC. 2015 Wisconsin Act 55 (the 2015-17 biennial budget act) attached LIRC to the Department of Administration and appropriated moneys directly to LIRC.
This bill provides for the transfer of federal moneys received by DWD to LIRC for unemployment administration and equal rights functions performed by LIRC and of other moneys transferred to LIRC for other purposes.
The mechanism for accomplishing this transfer of unemployment funds?
to transfer to the appropriation account under s. 20.427 (1) (k) an amount determined by the treasurer of the unemployment reserve fund. [emphasis supplied]
In other words, the treasurer of the unemployment reserve will now have the statutory authority to determine independently what LIRC’s funding from federal monies will be.

We already have a fair idea as to how the upcoming Galaxy Note 8 flagship is going to look like, thanks to a barrage of leaks and rumors in the past. Now, credible smartphone tipster Evan Blass aka @eveleaks has tweeted a photo, which apparently appears to be an official press render of the upcoming phablet from Samsung expected to go official on August 23.
The image shared by Blass reveals that the Galaxy Note 8 will have subtly curved edges and very slim bezels, just like the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+. Also, the image shows that the handset has no physical home button, which suggests that the Galaxy Note 8 will likely feature on-screen navigation buttons much like its S8 cousins.

Previous leaks have also claimed that the upcoming phablet will have its fingerprint sensor on the back just like the S8 series, though slightly repositioned towards the right. Finally, images shared by Blass also reveal that Note 7’s successor will be the first handset from Samsung to come with a dual-camera setup.

Samsung is expected to announce the Galaxy Note 8 in New York at its Unpacked Event on August 23. In terms of specs, the Galaxy Note 8 is said to get powered by Exynos 8895 chipset. Notably, the US variant of the Galaxy Note 8 will run the latest Snapdragon 835 processor.
As far as storage goes, the Galaxy Note 8 is said to feature 6GB of RAM and 64GB of built-in storage. On the front, the phablet is said to sport a massive 6.3-inch Infinity display, while juicing up the device is expected to be 3300mAh battery. Not to forget, the upcoming phablet is also said to feature improved S Pen capabilities.
The Galaxy Note 8 is also expected to offer higher optical zoom compared to the iPhone 7 Plus. Well-known analyst Ming Chi Kuo suggests that the phablet is expected to feature a 3x optical zoom, higher than the 2x optical zoom offered on the iPhone 7 Plus. In addition, Kuo also suggests that the phablet could feature an optical image stabilization (OIS) feature.


With so many injuries, Liverpool had struggled to get going until they hammered Bournemouth on Saturday. While they will hope to kickstart their season after that record-equalling win, things have already started to reverse elsewhere.
Perhaps no coincidence given that the midweek fixtures have now begun (for those teams without European football, last midweek, before the weekend's games, was a Carabao Cup round), injuries are starting to mount elsewhere, and at clubs with lesser squads.
Newcastle United have had a good start to the campaign and took two points off Manchester City a couple of games ago, but now before facing Liverpool, their team is starting to look significantly different.
READ MORE:Liverpool transfer for '£16m' midfielder makes sense and Sadio Mané and Bayern Munich know it

Bruno Guimarães is a doubt for their trip to Anfield ('I don't know for this game', said Howe). Callum Wilson, for all his quality, is injury-prone, and is facing another few weeks on the sidelines with his latest issue.
Allan Saint-Maximin picked up a hamstring issue over the weekend late on against Wolves and it would seem sensible not to rush back another player who has a tendency to pick up plenty of knocks.
Kieran Trippier, meanwhile, 'should be fine' but may not be risked or 100 per cent after a recent scare.
Aside from new signing Alexander Isak — who may or may not be available for this game depending on international clearance, which Howe explained could arrive as close as 75 minutes before kick-off — and possibly the reinvented Joelinton, now playing in midfield, those four players are arguably Newcastle's most important.

Jonjo Shelvey would have started the game but he has a calf injury. Dan Burn played at left-back on Sunday against Wolves.
Matt Targett could come in at full-back, but Mohamed Salah would be licking his lips at the prospect of facing Burn, with the 1.98m centre-back not the most mobile.
While Liverpool continue to get players back — Curtis Jones, Joël Matip and Calvin Ramsay trained on Monday and Diogo Jota will be back on Thursday — the other sides are starting to experience problems.
Starting against Newcastle, the Reds will now begin to see the benefits they have been prevented from having to this point in the campaign: now, it is them getting players back, while other sides start to see problems stack up.

You will LOVE this Pumpkin Pie Granola!
Fall is here and that means two HUGE things for our family. 1. pumpkin everything and 2. lots of birthdays, holidays, and visits from guests are on their way. We have three boys and all of them have a fall birthday. All three boys are in sports and having recently moved further away from family, I anticipate more overnight stays, if we are lucky, from family members and friends. Both of these things are exciting to me because I LOVE the fall, I love pumpkins and pumpkin spice everything, and I LOVE having company. The thing about having company, however, is that sometimes we have different preferences in coffee and even coffee makers. My dad is a decaf drinker, my mom drinks cappuccino or nothing at all, and then other members of the family have their preferences, too.
Sometimes we all need to be out the door by 8 for a early morning soccer game and a single serve coffee machine is only so fast. I like to brew a pot of coffee for all the caffeinated coffee drinkers, but where does that leave those who prefer decaf or another variety of hot drink? The Keurig® K-Duo Essentials Single Serve & Carafe Coffee Maker is THE perfect solution for this issue. Make a pot of coffee on the left side, and that leaves the single serve option available for anyone who needs to use it. And on days when it is just the hubby and I drinking coffee, we each can have our favorite blend in a single serve mug and we are good to go. I love that the carafe coffee maker is always readily available and there is ONE Keurig for all of our coffee and hot drink needs!
What goes best with coffee? Well, I think it’s a nice bowl of Pumpkin Pie Granola! I made a batch of this delicious stuff and it’s been so good to have with almond milk, on top of yogurt, or just by itself. It has a home by my Keurig for those busy mornings, too! (Scroll to the bottom for this yummy recipe!) If you are more of a dessert person, try this recipe for Pumpkin Bars.
I love how not only convenient the Keurig K-Duo Essentials Coffee Maker is, but they budget-friendly cost is impressive, too!
The K-Duo Essentials Coffee Maker comes with a 12 cup glass carafe, along with a heating plate, to keep your coffee warm. If you love hot coffee throughout the day, this is a great option for you! It also features a Pause & Pour feature, which allows the coffee maker to be paused for 20 seconds mid brew, so you can pour your coffee right away and not have to wait!
The huge 60 oz. single reservoir is shared between single serve and carafe brewing and makes refilling easy. The Keurig can also adapt to travel mugs and can brew multiple sizes, such as 8, 10, or 12 cup carafe and an 8, 10, or 12 oz cup.
Coffee + pumpkin pie granola = a perfect fall morning for anyone!

Friday people across the world witnessed the largest ransomware attack on Intenet. Our country is also under its threat. Therefore as a preventive measure government closed all the ATM machines. Atm machine are vulnerable to it as all the ATMs run on Microsoft.
Image Source: Dailymirror
After this the apex bank: RBI directed all banks to restart ATM machines only after they are upadated. Directive was passed in response to Wannacry ransomeware which took down many computers across the world.
You are listening to ransomeware everyone. But do you know exactly what it is. No worries. Today we will tell you what it is and how can you prevent your computer system from its attack.
Image Source: ABS-CBN
What is Ransomware?
It is not a random program or virus. Ransomware is a malware that locks up your computer and ask for ransom to log in into your own system.
However, experts say that even after paying ransom, there is no guarantee that you will get access to your data.
Image Source: CNNmoney
How a computer gets infected by it?
It usually enters a system through links or attachment in malicious messages. It is usually hidden in links that are sent through emails.
Image Source: Indiatoday
How to protect your system from Ransomware attacks?
1. Open only those attachments that are sent from a trusted source.
2. Normally people don’t update thir system which makes it vulnerable to such attacks. So to keep your computer and data secure update your computer.
3. Apply patches to the system that are recommended by the Microsoft Security Bulletin MS17-010.

4. If you are a user of Windows XP, Vista, Server 2008, and Server 2003 then you should get a new version.
5. Keep a backup of all your important data. Moreover, try to regularly update an offline database system.
6. Organisations which connect to the Internet through Enterprise Edge or perimeter network devices should disable SMBv1 or block their SMB ports.

Control and ultra-short pulse generation in stimulated Raman backscattering
AuthorsŠkorić, Miloš M.
MetadataShow full item record
A stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) is a great concern for laser fusion, causing an energy and symmetry loss and target preheating. In particular, for dominating backward SRS (BRS), a complexity of nonlinear saturation was revealed. Recently, to develop lasers at multi-exawatts and beyond, relevant to high-energy physics, a proposed Raman amplification based on BRS met a restrictive operation window. Here, we stress BRS generics that due to a nonlinear frequency shift (relativistic/trapping effect), it nonlinearly saturates with intermittent pulsations. A break up of Manley-Rowe invariants explains a non-steady saturation. Further, a coherent pulsation BRS regime is proposed for femto-sec pulse generation in a thin exploding foil plasma, with parameter scalings investigated by analytics and particle simulations.

According to the Guild of American Violin Makers, a luthier is a guitar maker and with their art they bring wood to life to create beautiful music.
Tyler MacDonald, a local luthier, creates handcrafted electric guitars from exotic woods from sustainably grown trees around the world. By owning a Tyler guitar, you get something unique, that lasts a lifetime, and that will make an impact on someone. According to Tyler, “If someone takes one of my guitars and falls in love with it, I’ve done my job.”
Tyler grew up listening to classic rock, and Led Zeppelin was the first band he “fit” into as a child. He also likes the style of their guitarist Jimmy Page. Another influence has been the legendary Jimmy Hendrix with his unique style and sound. Tyler admires the way Hendrix seems to effortlessly become one with the guitar, something Tyler strives to achieve as an artist.
He grew up on Marco and attended Tommie Barfield Elementary School and Marco Island Charter Middle School. He loved to explore the outdoors and fondly remembers snook fishing under the Jolley Bridge when there was a catwalk below.
As an artist, Tyler is widely known for his photography. He started his photography business at the age of 14, exhibiting at local and national art exhibitions. A key moment for him came at the age of 12. Tyler had his first show at the Esplanade Left Bank Art Fest and it’s pretty much sold out!
Receiving a plastic recorder in second grade was another key moment where music became a part of Tyler’s life. In third grade he started playing the saxophone, and this continued throughout his years at Lely High School, performing with the marching band, jazz band and orchestra from across the county.
For Tyler, among all art forms, music was very important to him but as his photography took off he put the music on hiatus. But now the music is making a comeback with its guitars.
Tyler was drawn to the guitar the same way he was drawn to photography: curiosity. For over a year he studied the process; he took guitars apart to see how the pieces fit together and why they worked.
After a recharging trip to Colorado, Tyler appeared with the belief that he wanted to build guitars. He also attended a metal concert and felt comfortable sharing similar music and art with people who weren’t afraid to be themselves.
According to Tyler, wood affects sound – denser wood creates a heavier guitar and will sound different than a lighter guitar. It can use four to five different types of wood; some are good for the body and some types are good for the neck.
According to Tyler, his guitars are “very enjoyable to play; very smooth and you can move your hand quickly and easily. With a fine natural finish, you have a connection with the wood and feel the guitar vibrate.
When is a guitar finished? Two key moments, according to Tyler. Once he signs Tyler at the head of his guitar and when he plays it and hears the guitar come to life. It turned from rough pieces of wood into a magical musical instrument.
Tyler was set to show off his guitars last March at the 2020 Naples National Art Fair, but that was canceled.
Finally, at the Naples Downtown Art Show last weekend, Tyler unveiled his guitar collection and it sold out! According to Tyler, buyers were looking for something fresh and new to fill a space on their wall. Half of the buyers were drawn to the beauty of Tyler’s guitars. The others have never played a guitar; some were retired and if they don’t learn to play they will display it as a work of art.
Save this date: March 20-21, 2021 at the Downtown Naples Art Festival. Tyler will feature his beautifully handcrafted guitars that make great music, which you can pass on to someone else to make music more beautiful.

Entertainment on the eve of the opening of the Tai Chi Center
Excerpts from the Diary:
Last night when we got back to the little hotel (just across the street from the new Tai Chi center) they had some spotlights in the street and an electronic musical keyboard.† About 200 people were standing around the carpeted area they had set up and standing on bicycles and trucks placed around the circle and there was extremely loud music and I thought they were doing karaoke.
Stephan wanted to stay but I went into the hotel room (I donít like crowds and such) but after about 20 minutes I thought I should really force myself to go out and experience this Chinese event.† I went out and after a short time of trying to find Stephan I HEARD where he was!† I heard the soft, familiar Chinese spoken over the microphone and it was Stephan!† He started singing a song, and the guy on the keyboard picked it up and accompanied.† I hadnít realized Stephan has a beautiful singing voice!† It was a haunting song, and I thought it was lovely.
I decided maybe to stay to see what else happened, and am so glad I did! They had entire families there, the inner circle was filled with little children.† They would occasionally ask people to come forward and perform and a few people did, including two charming young girls who stepped forward after Stephan sang.† They invited him to stay in the circle with them while they spoke in English, sweetly thanking their teacher for teaching them our language, and then sang a song in English.† There were also several performers who I think were professional entertainers Ė several women dressed in costumes dancing to Chinese rock and roll, and two guys who did comedy and skits and acrobatics with a variety of costumes (including a farmerís outfit, a Japanese soldier who was shot in the butt and groin to the delight of the audience, a woman, and a Red Army soldier). [Master Sun told us later that these performers came from out of town, so I believe they were part of the package of entertainment that came with the master of ceremonies / keyboard player.]
performers were fun to watch, but even more fun to watch was the audience.
Every performer dreams about having such a receptive audience!† There was a middle-aged man across from me
who had a big grin through most of the performance, and the kids were almost
rolling on the floor with laughter.† One
thing was interesting, though Ė there was good music with a rocking beat that
was hard to resist bouncing to but, except for the performing dancers, I was
the only one swinging to the beat.† I
Stephan sings a song;† crowds perch on the bed of a truck to get a view over the people surrounding the performers.
Music was provided by a keyboard in the back -- the keyboard player was the master of ceremonies and sometimes also sang.
Stephan and Master Sun enjoy the entertainment.†††††††††††††††††
The children sitting on the ground in front of me
could not contain their delight and amusement.
Two men danced, sang, did acrobatics and comedy skits in various costumes.

OK. So in the words of that political scientist in Peter's piece, wealthy donors like Tom Steyer are putting a pistol to someone's head, forcing their pet issues on candidates. Steyer himself sees things very differently. He quit his hedge fund with $1.5 billion and now in his view he's fighting as hard as he can with money and passion to do something very noble - save the planet. When he sat down to speak with us he said his goal is to use his money to limit carbon emissions.
This is MORNING EDITION from NPR News. Good morning. I'm David Greene.
RENEE MONTAGNE, HOST:
And I'm Renee Montagne. Some of America's richest political activists are pouring money into new SuperPACs as they seek to influence the issues in upcoming Senate and House races. Billionaires including Sheldon Adelson, the Koch Brothers, and Fred Eychaner used SuperPACs to support their favored presidential candidates in 2012.
I don't know about you but if I make it to the age of 100, I plan on spending my time in some beach town with a lot of friends and family, a pile of books and the occasional highball. In other words, I would plan to relax. Joe Newman is not that kind of centenarian. The resident of Sarasota, Florida is running for Congress at the age of 101. Candidate Joe Newman joins me from his campaign headquarters. Thanks so much for being here, Mr. Newman.
This is WEEKEND EDITION from NPR News. I'm Scott Simon. The dying and suffering in Syria gets worse every week, even as turmoil in other areas demands coverage, too. Last September 10th, President Obama seemed to make the case for U.S. involvement following Bashar al-Assad's use of chemical weapons against civilians. This is not a world we should accept, said the president. It is in the national security interests of the United States to respond to the Assad regime's use of chemical weapons through a targeted military strike.
Critics told Federal Communications Commission Chairman Tom Wheeler his agency's proposed news media study would threaten press freedom.

It may not be in full retreat, but the Federal Communications Commission certainly seemed to be in a major strategic withdrawal from a plan that has caused a political firestorm: a study that would have asked journalists and media owners how they decide what is and isn't news.

I have a Coship 2500E with S6.4.1 firmware. However, this firmware does not allow me to change the "TV Mode" setting. It is permanently set to PAL but the manual says I should be able to toggle the setting from PAL to AUTO or NTSC.
I want to change this setting to AUTO or NTSC as I have a dish set on Intelsat 701 C-Band to receive Nasa TV, which is an NTSC signal. With my Coship permanently set to PAL, the signal is not converted well and the picture glitches every few seconds.
Can someone tell me if there is other firmware which I can install in my Coship to allow me to change the "TV Mode" setting from PAL to NTSC? Thank you in advance for helping.

The perfect family home. It’s a dream many have and a reality obsessively hunted over weeks, months and years.
But what if you had the chance to design your own?
That’s what happened to Scenario Architecture directors Maya Carni and Ran Ankory, partners in work and life, when they found a house in Alconbury Road, Stoke Newington.
The architects took on the challenge and with the help of sons Romi (eight) and Leo (five) and created Scenario House, showcasing their skills in the process.
Maya said she enjoyed the chance to become her own client.
“At Scenario, we base our design on how people will want to use their space,” she said. “Here we had an opportunity to practice what we preach.
“We have been looking for a house for a while and we knew it was going to be a big project. You never find somewhere that is 100% what you’re looking for but we knew this would be the place.”
The immediate challenge was finding a way to connect the front part of the house, originally two separate Victorian reception rooms, with the basement.
Their response was a “split-level open double reception” with a lowered the floor in the middle of the living room to link it to the stairs down to the lower floor.
Beyond problem solving, the couple derive most satisfaction from the children’s bedroom, with Romi and Leo taking a central role in its conception.
Because the boys loved to scale door frames at their previous home, their parents decided to include a climbing wall leading up to a secret space with a fireman’s pole for the return journey.
Maya said: “This is really what we are all about, it’s about understanding how people will want to use the space in the house.
“It was a really nice experience. It’s not our first house but it’s our first major project for ourselves and it was really fun.
“We felt like our own clients and we really felt the stress. As a professional you do everything you can to make it as close to perfect as possible.
“But at the end of the day, both financially and emotionally, it’s the client’s burden and when it becomes your burden you start to understand your clients more and how they feel.”
Scenario Architecture offers a range of property services from full design to renovations and extensions.

The world championship debutant, who had beaten compatriot Martin Schindler in round one, forced a deciding leg in the opening set and a third 180 then helped secure an 11-dart finish.
Van Den Bergh - forced to miss last month's Grand Slam of Darts after contracting COVID-19 - regrouped and swiftly reeled off three straight legs to level with a nerveless 142 checkout.
After losing the opening leg, Hempel stopped the rot to turn around the third set and continued his momentum into the fourth - taking it 3-0 with a cool 64 finish to pull off the biggest upset of the tournament so far.
"I met one of the best players in the world, but tonight it was my game and I felt comfortable," Hempel, who has only been playing for four years, said on Sky Sports.
"It has been amazing to get here and now I am in the third round. This tournament is the biggest in the world, but I felt comfortable on the stage and I love it here."
There was no such drama for former world championship runner-up Michael Smith, who landed six maximums as he coasted to an impressive 3-0 win over Ron Meulenkamp.
Dutch left-hander Meulenkamp had beaten Lisa Ashton in the opening round, but was swept aside following a blistering display by the ninth seed.
'Bully Boy' Smith - beaten by Michael Van Gerwen in the 2019 final - gave up only one leg in the match, during which he averaged just over 106 and returned a 75 per cent checkout rate.
Tuesday's late match saw Australian qualifier Raymond Smith end the hopes of South Africa's Devon Petersen, beating the 28th seed 3-0 to set up a third-round match against Hempel.
Vincent Van Der Voort earlier produced a 3-0 victory over Adam Hunt, who had hit five maximums and boasted the higher match average at 92.01. The Dutchman will next meet fourth seed James Wade for a place in the last 16.
In Tuesday's afternoon session at Alexandra Palace, Mervyn King battled through to the third round with a 3-2 comeback win over Ryan Joyce, reeling off nine consecutive legs and a 110 checkout on match darts.
World number 14 Dave Chisnall, a semi-finalist last year, saw off Belgian Mike De Decker 3-0, firing in back-to-back 12-dart legs.
Welsh 19-year-old Lewy Williams marked his world championship debut with a 3-0 win over Toyokazu Shibata in their first-round match.
Jason Lowe also did not drop a set as he coasted through against Daniel Larsson and will go on to play seventh seed Jose De Sousa.

Family says thanks to Clay City community
To the editor:
The faculty, staff, students and parents at Clay City Elementary deserve a huge thank you!
Recently our daughter, Morgan, was diagnosed with Leukemia. The outpouring of support by the school, churches, families and community has been unbelievable. They have covered our family in prayers, brought food, given money and gifts, sent cards, and given an abundant amount of encouragement, and continue to do so.
People that we have never met have stepped in to offer any support that we need. There are people that we may never meet that are giving support in ways we will never know about. There is no possible way I can send a thank you to everyone that has helped our family in some way or another (though I have tried when I know who they are).
Clay City Elementary faculty, staff, students, parents and community, please know that we appreciate everything.
This journey that started in December has been very hard on our family, but with the support of loving friends, and God watching over us, we are making it through this difficult time. Again, thank you so much for everything you have been doing. Keep the prayers coming!
God Bless you,

Some highlights of the article:
Wary of food quality in China following recent incidents of tainted products and reports of the heavy use of drugs and insecticides in food production, the USOC is planning to transport tons of meats and other foods to a training camp at Beijing Normal University.
"I feel it's a pity that they [Americans] decided to take their own food," Kang Yi, the head of the Food Division for the Beijing organizing committee, said Thursday. She added the U.S. had not officially notified her department of the plan.
The U.S. delegation will number more than 600, and many will eat their daily meals at the training camp, rather than the Athletes Village. The Village will house about 17,000 athletes and officials during the Aug. 8-24 Games and will be capable of serving 6,000 meals simultaneously.
The New York Times reported earlier that the U.S. will ship 25,000 pounds of lean meat to China.
"We have made lots of preparations to ensure that they [athletes] can get together at the Olympic Games," Kang added, speaking at a news conference Thursday on food safety. "If the American delegation is not at that gathering, it's a pity."
The safety of food in China has become a major issue for the Olympics, where athletes will face extensive drug testing. Security officials are aware that a positive drug test triggered by contaminated food could ruin an athlete's career and generate a public-relations disaster for China, which is intent on showing itself as a modern, sophisticated country.
Finally, the US - even if it's just our Olympic committee - is willing to stand up and, in a very public way, proclaim, 'WE DON'T TRUST YOU, CHINA'. How can we trust anything our own companies in China, or the Chinese themselves, produce, after all the recent stories about lead paint potentially poisoning children, among other horrific products coming from China?
This nation does NOT need food or anything else from China, which has years to go before it catches up to safety standards expected of producers in the USj. Unfortunately, in our decaying society, economics and the bottom line rule all. As such, we're going to keep doing business with China and take the diplomatic course, no matter how poisoned their goods are, instead of saying, "no thanks".

NOTES OF THE TURF FROM OTHER LANDS. This years Irish Grand National was won by Pay Only, an aged mare by Walmsgate. She carried 163 pounds and, ridden by an amateur, W. F. Sankey, started at 6 to 4 in a field of. fourteen. In England women are not missing many of the opportunities the war has created for them. A London paper of April 21 mentions that on the previous day a woman was fined 50 for street betting. In South Africa recently Sir Abe Bailey purchased LAiglon for 1,000, which is stated to be a record price in that country for a two--old gelding.-Titan, also a gelding, was sold at that age in Australia for 23,250. The English trainer Tom Cannon, was 71 years, old April 23 last. One of the first big winners ridden by Cannon was the Marquis of Hastings Repulse, in the 1860 One Thousand Guineas. His only Derby success was on Shotover in 1881. Otto Madden, after being a trainer for many years, applied for and received n license as a jockey in England this year. Among the big races won by Madden when he was previously riding was the Derby on Jeddah, the Oaks on Mush, the St. Leger on Challacombe and the Two Thousand Guineas, on Mr. Belmonts Norman II.
