Golf is a game of precision, and every shot matters. A push shot in golf is a common shot that can cause frustration and hinder a golfer’s performance. But what is a push shot exactly, and why is it so common in the game of golf?
A push shot in golf is a shot that starts the ball on a straight line or slightly right of the target, but continues on a path that moves further right, missing the target to the right. This shot is usually caused by an open clubface at impact or an out-to-in swing path.
- A push shot in golf is a common shot that causes the ball to miss the target to the right.
- It is usually caused by an open clubface at impact or an out-to-in swing path.
Causes of a Push in Golf
A push shot in golf is caused by several factors. Poor set up and alignment, an improper swing path, and grip issues are some of the primary reasons behind this shot.
One of the most significant factors that cause a push shot is the incorrect alignment of the golfer. When the shoulders, feet, and hips are not positioned correctly, it can result in a pushed shot.
Another common mistake that can lead to a push shot is an improper swing path. An out-to-in swing path can cause the clubface to open, pushing the ball to the right. Similarly, a closed clubface can also result in a push shot.
Grip issues can also contribute to a push shot in golf. If the grip is too tight, it can inhibit the clubface from closing at impact, causing the ball to push. On the other hand, a grip that is too weak can cause the clubface to open, resulting in a push shot.
Correcting Alignment to Avoid a Push Shot
To fix a push shot in golf, the first step is to correct alignment. Golfers must ensure that their feet, hips, and shoulders are aligned correctly. They must also align themselves parallel to their target line.
To check their alignment, golfers can use alignment sticks or an alignment rod. They can place the stick on the ground and make sure that their feet, hips, and shoulders are parallel to it.
Adjusting Swing Path to Prevent a Push Shot
If the incorrect swing path is causing a push shot, golfers must adjust their swing to prevent it. They must ensure that their clubface is square to the target at impact. One way to do this is to practice swinging with a square clubface and making sure it is aimed at the target.
Golfers should also focus on their swing path, making sure it is not too far to the right or left. An in-to-out swing path can help golfers avoid a push shot and promote a draw shot. To achieve this swing path, golfers must swing the club slightly from the inside, with the clubhead traveling to the right of the target line at impact.
Improving Grip Technique to Correct a Push Shot
The correct grip technique is vital to avoid a push shot in golf. Golfers should ensure that their grip pressure is neither too tight nor too weak. They must also position their hands correctly on the club.
To check their grip, golfers can use the Vardon grip or the interlock grip. The Vardon grip involves interlocking the pinkie finger of the right hand with the index finger of the left hand. The interlock grip involves hooking the pinkie finger of the right hand with the index finger of the left hand.
By addressing the common mistakes that cause a push shot in golf, golfers can improve their swing and achieve a desired ball flight.
How to Fix a Push in Golf
If you’re struggling with a push shot in golf, don’t worry – there are some simple fixes you can try to get back on track.
Firstly, check your alignment. A common mistake among golfers is aiming too far to the right (for right-handed golfers). This causes you to swing out-to-in, resulting in a push shot. Make sure your feet, hips, and shoulders are parallel to the target line.
Next, focus on your swing path. Ideally, you want to swing on an inside-to-out path. To achieve this, imagine hitting the ball towards the second baseman on a baseball field. This mental image should help you swing to the right of the target and avoid pushing the ball.
Another issue that can cause a push shot is a weak grip. Make sure your grip is strong enough to prevent the clubface from opening at impact. A good way to check this is to look at your knuckles on your left hand (for right-handed golfers) – you should see two or three knuckles.
Lastly, consider your weight transfer during the swing. If you’re transferring your weight too much to your back foot, you may be swinging out-to-in and pushing the ball. Practice shifting your weight to your left foot during the downswing to promote a proper inside-to-out swing path.
By focusing on these key areas, you should be able to correct your push shot and start hitting more accurate shots on the course.
Push Shot and Golf Swing
A push shot in golf is often caused by swing mechanics that result in an open clubface or out-to-in swing path. These factors can contribute to the ball being pushed to the right, which can significantly affect a golfer’s game.
To correct a push shot, it is essential to understand the root cause of the problem. For instance, an open clubface at impact can cause the ball to veer to the right. Therefore, it is crucial to ensure that the clubface is square at impact to reduce the chances of a push shot.
Another factor that can contribute to a push shot is an out-to-in swing path. This means that the clubhead travels outside the swing plane during the downswing, leading to the ball being pushed to the right. To rectify this, golfers must work on their swing path, ensuring that the clubhead travels straight down the target line during impact.
Finally, body positioning and weight transfer can also impact a golfer’s shot. If a golfer’s weight is predominantly on their back foot during impact, it can lead to a push shot. Therefore, it is critical to maintain balanced weight transfer throughout the swing to avoid a push shot.
In conclusion, a push shot in golf is a common ball flight that occurs when the golf ball travels to the right of the target (for a right-handed golfer). This type of shot can be caused by a variety of mistakes in a golfer’s swing and alignment.
To fix a push shot, golfers should focus on correcting their alignment, adjusting their swing path, and improving their grip. By implementing these changes, golfers can achieve greater accuracy and consistency in their shots.
It is important for golfers to understand the relationship between the push shot and the golf swing. Proper swing mechanics, body positioning, and weight transfer can all play a role in achieving the desired ball flight.
In summary, identifying and correcting a push shot is crucial for golfers looking to improve their game. By taking the time to understand and adjust their technique, golfers can overcome this common issue and reach their full potential on the golf course.

… most effective way to tackle an epidemic of diabetes sweeping Asian developing countries like Nepal
The number of adults with diabetes worldwide has quadrupled in the past 35 years, according to a recent study, with most of the increase in Asian countries. Lifestyle changes, sugar-rich diets and genetic predisposition mean Nepal also faces an epidemic of the disease, researchers warn.
The study published last month in the journal The Lancet compared diabetes levels worldwide from 1980-2014 and found that low and middle-income countries had the biggest increase. The world average for diabetes prevalence is 9 per cent, and Nepal is nearly at the top of the list with incidence at 8.1 per cent.
“Rural to urban migration in Nepal has multiple impacts like decreased physical activity, shift to high energy diets leading to obesity and increasing the risk of diabetes,” explained Sanjib Sharma of the B P Koirala Institute of Health Sciences (BPKIHS) in Dharan, and a contributor to the study.
The number of people suffering from Type 2 diabetes in Nepal, particularly in urban areas, is growing alarmingly with more than ten times the prevalence rate in cities as in villages -- mainly due to sugar-rich diets and reduced exercise.
Genetics plays a role, and early life conditions can also determine whether a person will develop diabetes later in life, especially in countries with poor maternal and child healthcare.
“Inadequate nutrition during pregnancy and low birth weight of babies may increase diabetes prevalence in Nepal,” Sharma told Nepali Times by email. His research has shown that the prevalence of diabetes in Nepal is 8.1 per cent, with 1 per cent in rural areas and up to 14 per cent in cities. There are an estimated 2.5 million people with Type 2 diabetes in Nepal.
India and China currently have the highest numbers of diabetic patients, and also show the sharpest rise in total numbers with the disease. Studies suggest that South Asians are six times more likely to develop diabetes than the general population, with lifestyle and genetics the main factors.
Since South Asians are more genetically predisposed to diabetes, they also have to careful about other carbohydrate-rich foods. A recent Harvard School of Public Health study showed that a bowl of white rice packs as much sugar as two cans of soft drinks.
Another contributor to the study, Daniel Ho of the University of Hong Kong, said the main culprits were sugar-rich soft drinks and carbohydrate-rich diets. “Soft drinks have very high calories, and people aren’t even aware about the danger they pose,” he said.
All those extra calories coupled with generally declining physical activity are cited among the main reasons for the sharp increase in diabetes in Asia.
An average Nepali consumes 30g of sugar per day in their diet, with a much higher consumption in urban areas. The World Health Organisation (WHO) cites 25g/day as the threshold safe limit for sugar consumption.
Sharma said it is more prudent and cheaper to prevent the disease by behavioural changes rather than treating it once diagnosed in a patient. “The greatest gains in public health in countries like Nepal will be derived not from breakthroughs in biomedical research but from changes in behaviour. Public awareness is needed to convince people about more exercise and reducing sugar consumption.”
China, India and Nepal could also learn from government policies to reduce the consumption of sugar-rich soft drinks. Mexico, for instance, passed an excise tax on sugar-sweetened beverages after it was found 72 per cent of the population was overweight. Just two years later, there was up to 12 per cent decline in the consumption of sweetened beverages in Mexico and a 17 per cent drop among poorer households, according to a recent study published in the British Medical Journal.
““We can draw parallels to tobacco control. Like tax on cigarettes, we can do something similar for sugary drinks like Mexico did,” said Ho.
As Nepal’s disease burden moves from infections to a greater prevalence of non-communicable diseases like diabetes, experts say it could use the proven effectiveness of community health programs by mobilising Female Community Health Volunteers (FCHVs) to spread awareness about the dangers of energy-rich diets and a sedentary lifestyle.
“For diabetes, too, we need simple approach of empowering grassroots health care providers like FCHVs,” said Sharma. “This will help detect and treat diabetes earlier, helping to prevent more serious complications that drain the country’s resources.”
For the first time ever, there are more obese people in the world than underweight. China now has overtaken both the US and UK in diabetes prevalence, with 9.4 per cent of its population diabetic. Even its overweight population is increasing, and has crossed 35 per cent. Similarly in Hong Kong, one third of people in the city are now overweight.
“People are moving to cities, consuming fast food and soft drinks, with minimum physical activity,” explained Ho. “Any policy that can increase physical activity can be useful, anything we can do to reduce obesity will be useful to prevent diabetes.”

With the rise of social media, the lives of people have become more transparent in the public eye.
How many times do we covet what another woman has? With the click of an app, you can easily see what the next person is saying, wearing, or doing. It’s great until it begins to break into a woman’s haven of “rest.”
Today, I want to introduce the idea that you are blessed in your own “place of rest,” but you have to find it, and you have to know that you have rest through Jesus.
The problem is that some of us can’t see past the fog and cloudiness. Be careful what your eyes see because they are the lamp to the soul. Click below to listen to this podcast on “Finding Your Place of Rest.” Hope you are blessed by it.

/// Netflix Buys Exclusive Rights to Bletchley Circle From PBS
Just days after PBS' announcement that it was expanding its agreement with Amazon to include exclusive rights to Downton Abbey (along with non-exclusive rights to other shows), Netflix bought an exclusive window to several other shows on the public broadcaster, including WWII-period code-breaking saga The Bletchley Circle and preschool series Super Why. The network has been expanding its offerings on digital services in the last year; the agreements are bringing revenue to the nonprofit, and its mandate—television as a public service—gives it a little more latitude to expand its offerings without worrying about how it will look on a quarterly report to shareholders. Thus, Amazon, Netflix and Roku, among others, now have access to PBS's kids' programs (Arthur, Calliou, Wild Kratts) and the network's exclusives are spread out among providers anxious to gain a competitive edge by offering material unique to the network. PBS received $46 million in “undesignated video revenue” from agreements like the pacts with Netflix and Amazon last year.

Big G Creative debuts new games, Cluckle and Corner Crush
Big G Creative has launched two new games, Cluckle and Corner Crush.
Cluckle – invented by Big Ideas’ Simon Skelton and Ruth Elliott and Tricky’s Geoff House – is a fast-paced word game with a dice-popping chicken.
Players squeeze the chicken to pop out the die and race to flip egg tiles to see which letters they have to play with. Players then scramble their egg tiles to see who can make a word the fastest, then quickly grab the chicken to win the round.
Elsewhere Corner Crush, from inventors Christopher Nelson and Bill Ward, takes four in a row to a new level as players drop tokens into a rotating tower and play around the corners to score four in a row.
“With Corner Crush and Cluckle, we’ve taken popular, classic game play and elevated the fun factor,” said Steven Anne, Creative Director at Big G Creative.
“Kids will want to play these games over and over, and parents will enjoy them just as much.”

NEW TAKE ON GRADUATION: Schools develop alternate plans for commencement ceremonies
Published 7:23 pm Wednesday, May 13, 2020
School boards around the state are scrambling as to how to best host graduation ceremonies without hastening the spread of COVID-19.
The time, the place and the procedure all come into play with the desire to make High School Graduation 2020 as meaningful and memorable as possible for both the students and their families.
Models from around the state have been looked at by Pike County schools and are being considered, including stadium sites, gymnasiums, cafeterias and undisclosed locations.
Each has its pros and cons, so the Pike County schools have looked at each model in making their decisions as to which or what is best for their graduates and their families.
Whenever and however, Eric Mackey, the state school superintendent, recommended that anyone attending a ceremony exercise personal responsibility by following the guidelines that include wearing facial coverings and washing hands frequently.
The Alabama Department of Public Health has discouraged large group gatherings. Ryan Easterling, a spokesman for the agency, said maintaining proper social distancing will still be required.
With those recommendations, Charles Henderson, Goshen, Pike County and Pike Liberal Arts high schools have set the dates and made plans for their 2020 High School Graduation ceremonies.
Graduation for the Pike County High School Class of 2020 has been set for May 18 and 19 at the PCHS auditorium.
Assistant Principal Hannah Clifford said the graduation ceremonies will be conducted for groups of three to four seniors and up to eight family members for each.
“The seniors will wear their caps and gowns and be presented their diplomas and a yard sign honoring their graduation,” Clifford said. “Then, they will go back to their cars and the next group will come in.”
Clifford said the individual ceremonies will be video-taped along with the addresses by the PCHS Class of 2020 Valedictorian and Salutatorian and remarks by the members of the administration.
“Each member of the PCHS Class of 2020 will receive a copy of the video that will be an edited to include the entire PCHS 2020 graduation ceremony with each graduate walking across the stage to accept his or her diploma.”
Goshen High School principal, Ken Britford said, because of the restrictions of COVID-19, the GHS seniors will graduate on May 20 and 21 in groups of 10 with a limited number of family members present.
“Each senior may have no more than eight family member present at the ceremony and that number is firm,” Britford said. “Each student has received a letter detailing the graduation ceremony so they are aware of the plans and the restrictions.”
Britford said a video will be made of the students receiving their diplomas and also with those in attendance.
The Goshen High School Class of 2020 valedictorian and salutatorian will give their speeches and they will also be recorded.
“The video of the GHS 2020 graduation will be recorded much like a television show is being made,” Britford said. “The video will be put together as if the Goshen High School graduation was one show. The video will include all class members and will be a keepsake for our GHS 2020 graduates.”
Pike Liberal Arts School will send its Class of 2020 out with graduation at 7 p.m. on June 4 at the PLAS football stadium.
Eric Burkett, PLAS headmaster, said the most important consideration for the PLAS Class of 2020 was to graduate together.
“We have 36 graduates and that makes it possible to space them six feet apart,” Burkett said. “Each graduate will have eight tickets to be given to family members to attend the graduation ceremony. The family members will have a designated area in the stands with each family spaced six feet apart.”
The parents of the graduates will be seated on the field facing the graduates and distantly spaced. Six tickets will remain for the other family members to sit in the stands.
The graduation program will include speeches by the valedictorian and salutatorian and the awarding of diplomas.
At the conclusion of the graduation ceremony, the guests will be ushered out, following all the guidelines for social distancing.
“We will follow and the guidelines that allow as many people as possible at the graduation ceremony,” Burkett said. “We are glad the governor loosened the guidelines that allow us to have the graduates together and with family members in attendance. Those two things were most important to our graduates. We were lucky it happened this way.”
Charles Henderson High School will hold their graduation ceremony on Thursday, May 21 beginning at 10 a.m. in Veterans Memorial Stadium on the campus of Troy University.
For people that can’t make the event, it will be live streamed by Troy Cable.
Each graduate will be given five guest tickets.
Troy City Schools Interim Superintendent Cynthia Thomas said the guest limit will be strictly enforced in an attempt to keep everybody safe. Charles Henderson High School will adhere to strict social distancing guidelines before, during, and after the graduation ceremony.

For local tech firm Springbuk Inc., growth has come quickly.
In just more than two years, the company has grown from 16 to 102 employees.
The health-analytics software firm, founded in January 2015, sells a human resources tool that lets employers track health care spending and outcomes. With the recent release of enhancements to its Health Intelligence platform, the company is anticipating another growth spurt.
Coming off a $20 million funding round completed in January 2018, Springbuk launched significant upgrades that can be added to its platform and that company officials say go beyond traditional health care analytics to “provide insights and actionable opportunities that help employers mitigate risk, decrease costs, and track improvement over time.”
Springbuk Chief Product Officer Jeremy Leventhal said the upgrades are “supercharging” the company’s growth expectations.
Additions to its software include the ability to:
• Identify members within a population that are at-risk of developing health conditions and get actionable information including appropriate treatment, disease management resources and risk mitigation strategies.
• Quickly and easily find answers to common questions, such as: What’s the average cost of a knee replacement? Also view related questions and topics with instant answers, search through trending topics, or browse the questions catalog.
“We really think these new features change the game of health care analytics to health intelligence,” Leventhal said. “So far, we’ve gotten a very strong response. We’ve heard [from customers] that they can’t live without it. We believe we do health care analytics better than anyone.”
The big aim of the most recent upgrade—called Insights Stream—is to streamline analytics and make it more intuitive, explained Springbuk’s vice president of health intelligence, Amy Brown, who came to the company from IBM two years ago.
“The whole key [for Springbuk customers] is what are my biggest opportunities and how do I act on that?” she said. “This is a forward looking solution-oriented tool.”
Brown added that the enhancements “solidify we’re a disrupter in the space, and that we’re doing something really different.”
While much of the company’s revenue growth will be coming from existing customers, Springbuk officials said they also expect the new features to be a significant tool in attracting new business. While Springbuk does sell its software directly to companies—usually sizable ones—much of its business comes from insurance brokers and wellness managers.
There are more than 2,500 employers using its platform, Springbuk officials said. Springbuk does not disclose revenue figures.
Springbuk officials said they’re not done improving their platform.
“We have a couple more tricks up our sleeve,” Leventhal said, adding that the company plans to roll out other new products later this year.

STOW — Sheetz, currently closed for a major remodel, is expected to reopen in mid-June.
Located at 950 E. Steels Corners Road, Sheetz No. 296 was razed shortly after it was closed Feb. 11.
The original store, which opened in late September 2000, was about 4,500 square feet in size with a car wash and gas pumps. Jennifer Donahoe, a spokeswoman for the convenience store and gas tsation, said the new store will be approximately 4,900 square feet and the car wash and gas pumps are going to be upgraded.
The new store will have a dining area with enough seating for approximately 30 people as well as two TVs, she said. The old store did not have indoor seating. The new store will also have a drive-thru, another feature the old store lacked.
In addition to building size, the new store will likely increase the number of people on its payroll.
“Prior to the remodel, there were nine full-time and 10 part-time employees as well as a manager,” Donahoe said. “The new store is estimated to have additional positions, [but] the total new positions open will depend if any of the part-time employees increase hours.”
Last summer, Brian Soyka, permits manager for Sheetz, told the city’s planning commission the company wants to bring the Steels Corners Road store in line with its current branding which emphasizes its food offerings.
“We want to get that store looking current to what our new stores look like, with more of a restaurant-style architecture and more emphasis on food rather than gas,” Soyka said.

Duran Duran has announced that it will release its studio album, Paper Gods, in the U.S. on September 18 via Warner Bros. The album was co-produced by dance music legend—and producer of 1986’s Notorious—Nile Rodgers, Kanye West/Jay-Z collaborator Mr. Hudson, and retro-funkmaster Mark Ronson, along with Grammy-nominated engineer Josh Blair. (The latter two also worked on Duran Duran’s last studio album, 2011’s All You Need Is Now.) Guest appearances on Paper Gods include Janelle Monáe (who’s on the forthcoming first single, “Pressure Off”), ex-Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist John Frusciante, electro upstart Kiesza, and actress/singer Lindsay Lohan.
As for what Paper Gods sounds like, fans of Duran Duran’s early-’80s post-punk/goth/synthfunk days seem to be in luck. “[The album] really goes back to that strange early Duran mix: the hard-edged pop coexisting with this dark, weird, experimental side,” bassist John Taylor says in a press release.
Duran Duran will be teaming up with Rodgers and his band Chic for a handful of live dates, including a September 20 stop at the Red Rocks Ampitheatre and an October 1 appearance at the Hollywood Bowl. The band is also performing at the inaugural edition of Rodgers’ FreakOut! Festival in Riverhead, New York; the two-day event features performances by Beck, Chaka Khan, Paloma Faith and Keith Urban, among others.

Are you looking for a way to invest your hard-earned money in something with tangible value? Physical gold and silver may be the answer. Investing in these precious metals has been around for centuries and is still a popular option today.
Not only does it provide security, but it also offers freedom from volatile markets and government control. In this article, we’ll take an in-depth look at why investing in physical gold and silver could be a smart financial move for those seeking increased autonomy over their wealth.
Whether you’re just starting out or already have some investments under your belt, understanding the ins and outs of investing in physical gold and silver can help maximize returns while safeguarding against uncertainty. With its low risk profile, potential growth prospects, and ability to protect capital during economic turmoil, there are many advantages to making physical gold and silver part of your portfolio.
We’ll discuss all that – as well as address any drawbacks associated with investing in these precious metals – so you can make an informed decision about whether they’re right for you.
Advantages Of Investing In Physical Gold And Silver
Investing in physical gold and silver is a wise financial decision for many reasons.
Long term security is one of the primary advantages, as these precious metals have held their value over thousands of years and will continue to do so into the future.
They are also an effective inflation hedging tool due to their inherent store of value – by investing in them now, you can protect your money from uncertain economic times ahead.
Furthermore, owning physical gold or silver has distinct emotional benefits that should not be underestimated; they give investors peace of mind knowing that they hold something tangible and valuable which offers stability during volatile markets.
Investing in such assets allows people to take control of their finances without relying on traditional investments like stocks or bonds.
To sum up, physical gold and silver offer a unique blend of long-term security and freedom, making it an attractive investment option for those looking for reliable protection against fluctuating economies.
With this knowledge in mind, let us consider some key considerations when investing in precious metals.
Considerations When Investing In Precious Metals
When considering investing in physical gold and silver, there are several considerations to take into account beyond just the advantages. Here are four key factors to consider:
Investigate the buying process – Purchasing precious metals involves more than visiting a dealer or searching online. It’s important to understand what you’re getting and how it will be delivered.
Storage solutions – Once acquired, physical gold and silver must be securely stored until you decide to sell them or use them as currency. Consider diversifying your storage options between home safes, bank deposit boxes, and other secure locations.
Assessing risk and reward – As with any investment, it’s wise to research past performance trends for both gold and silver before making an investment decision. This information can help determine when is the best time to buy these investments based on their historical cycles of price fluctuation versus fiat currencies like the U.S dollar (USD).
Tax implications – Before investing in physical gold or silver, it’s also important to become aware of applicable taxes within your jurisdiction that could impact gains from selling precious metals at a later date.
The above considerations should all factor into any investor’s decision-making process around whether physical gold or silver is right for them as part of their overall portfolio strategy. When assessing risk and reward potential, investors should keep in mind not only recent market conditions but also future projections regarding inflationary pressures which may drive prices higher over time if they remain unchecked by central banks across the world.
Assessing Risk And Reward
Measuring risk involves assessing the potential downside of an investment – its volatility, liquidity, and any potential losses.
Determining potential reward involves researching its current market value, evaluating potential appreciation, and estimating future income.
With physical gold and silver, risks include storage costs, insurance costs, and the potential for theft.
On the other hand, rewards include capital gains, diversification of investments, and hedging against inflation.
When it comes to investing in physical gold and silver, assessing risk and reward is key.
When determining the level of risk associated with a given investment, measuring time horizon and diversification strategies are two essential elements.
Having a long-term outlook can help mitigate short term fluctuations that may occur due to market volatility or external factors beyond one’s control.
Additionally, investors should consider implementing an effective diversification strategy when allocating funds towards precious metals investments as this will reduce overall portfolio risk while potentially increasing returns over differing time horizons.
Ultimately, it’s important for any investor to understand their own individual goals prior to executing trades as every investor’s requirements differ; such knowledge enables investors to make informed decisions about their desired levels of risk and return potential.
Determining Potential Reward
When assessing the potential reward of investing in physical gold and silver, it is essential to consider holding costs and inflationary effects. These elements often play a role when determining overall returns on investment over time as they can offset any gains made through price appreciation or other sources of income.
For example, if an investor fails to account for rising storage fees associated with their holdings, it could eat into their total profits from the sale of said asset. Similarly, investors should also take care to understand how inflation may affect the value of their investments over time; by doing so, they are better able to anticipate any changes that may occur due to changing economic conditions and market dynamics.
All things considered, investors must have an intimate understanding of both risk and reward prior to entering into such transactions in order to maximize long-term success.
The Role Of Government Policy
Like a shimmering beacon of hope in the murky depths of economic uncertainty, physical gold and silver have long been seen as reliable investments. Yet many investors remain uncertain about how government policy factors into this equation – what role does taxation play? How might currency fluctuations affect its value?
Fortunately, it’s not all doom and gloom; there are options available that can protect your investments from any changes in policy or monetary issues. For example, through careful research and planning, you can explore alternative investment options that offer shelter from such risks while still providing potential gains.
With the right combination of knowledge and caution, investing in physical gold and silver can be an excellent way to ensure financial security for the future.
Alternative Investment Options
While physical gold and silver have been considered a safe haven for investors looking to protect their wealth from economic downturns, there are many other options available for those interested in diversifying their portfolio. Alternative investment strategies can provide more stability and greater returns than just precious metals alone.
When considering alternative investments, it is important to consider the factors that drive your decision-making process; inflation hedging, diversification strategies, and risk management should all be taken into account when evaluating potential opportunities.
Here we will explore some of these options:
Private Equity: Private equity can offer an investor access to lucrative deals with high growth potential that would otherwise be unavailable on the public market. This type of investing also provides excellent tax benefits, as capital gains taxes may not apply until the funds are withdrawn.
Real Estate Investing: Buying real estate has long been seen as one of the most reliable ways to invest money and generate passive income over time. There is a wide range of property types and locations available, so doing research on local markets is essential before making any decisions.
Commodity Trading: Commodities such as oil, natural gas, wheat or corn can provide attractive returns if properly managed due to their volatility. Of course, commodities trading does come with associated risks since prices can fluctuate dramatically at times so careful analysis must take place before committing any capital.
Investors who want more control over their portfolios should look into alternative investment options beyond just physical gold and silver in order to maximize profits while still mitigating risk levels appropriately. By having an understanding of different asset classes and how they interact with each other within a portfolio structure, you can create a truly unique strategy tailored specifically to your goals.
Investing in physical gold and silver has the potential to yield significant rewards, but it is a decision that should not be taken lightly.
I encourage my clients to fully understand both the risks and rewards before investing any capital into precious metals.
By assessing their individual risk tolerance and needs, investors can make an informed decision about whether or not adding these assets to their portfolio is right for them.
Just like any other investment, there are no guarantees when it comes to gold and silver – however, if done wisely they can be a solid foundation on which to build your financial future.

JP currently serves in the US Army and has been disclosing covert missions he has participated in with the approval of more senior officers in secret space programs. Contrary to his recent SSP missions, he was taken this time by Nordic-looking extraterrestrials in one of their spacecraft that was part of a convoy to two of Jupiter’s moons: Ganymede and Europa. The spacecraft’s crew involved three Nordics that he met back in 2008 during his first contact experience in Brazil.
JP is currently serving with the US Army and on May 20, 2022, completed his 3rd covert mission to a space ark submerged at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean. In this Exopolitics Today interview JP discusses what he and other members from a mixed team of 20 military and scientific personnel encountered in the space ark located somewhere in the Bermuda triangle region.
In early 2022, Tony Rodrigues published his book, Ceres Colony Cavalier, in which he described in detail his “20 and back” experiences as a slave, both on Mars as a military auxiliary fighting against indigenous insectoids and then serving with a German-led Dark Fleet. Rodrigues’ book came to the attention of Dr. Courtney Brown, who subsequently organized a remote viewing project to investigate two of the book’s core claims. The results greatly surprised Dr. Brown who concluded Rodrigues’ testimony was accurate and carried much significance for full disclosure.
COVID has sparked a massive shift in consciousness, especially when it comes to trusting governments. Censoring scientists, doctors, journalists and scientific evidence that called into question the measures governments have taken, and are taking to supposedly combat COVID has become the norm.
Jean Charles Rousseau and David Rousseau both served as children and adults in a joint US French secret space program since 1981/1982. The both completed ’20 and back’ programs where they remember meeting and becoming friends on the Franco-US flagship — the Solaris.
On January 10, 2022, my US Army insider, JP, revealed that he participated in a classified mission to an extraterrestrial space ark located under the Atlantic Ocean off the Florida coast in the vicinity of Bermuda. This was the second space ark that he has encountered in covert military missions – the first involved a space ark found on the Moon, as reported in an earlier article.
JP described how the mission began with an official briefing he received at the military base where he is currently serving. Then he was taken by Osprey helicopters to a large donut-shaped platform in the Atlantic, which was placed directly over a submerged space ark. JP estimated to be at least a mile long ovoid-shaped.
What follows are extracts from our skype call where he described different aspects of the mission. Here is the first extract where he describes being taken to some kind of large platform suspended over the space ark:

On January 4, 2022, I received an important update about ancient space arks being discovered on the Moon, Mars, Antarctica, and other locations in our solar system. According to Thor Han Eredyon, a Galactic Federation pilot, whose messages are relayed through a former professional French archeologist, Elena Danaan, these huge space arks are activating due to the recent arrival of a large fleet of spacecraft belonging to an Intergalactic Confederation—parked in the vicinity of Jupiter and its moon, Ganymede.

According to JP, a pseudonym for my longtime source who currently serves with the US Army, China’s space force (the People’s Liberation Army Strategy Support Force) and US Space Command have recently begun joint missions to explore the object, and that he participated in one of the first missions.
In this Exopolitics Today interview, Jean Charles Moyen discusses extraterrestrial contact experiences that culminated in him being identified by French officials as a potential candidate for France’s Secret Space Program (SSP).

Centrally located, with large areas, the plots of the former factories attracted the investors, though some of them are still not exploited. Some of them were sold in pieces to retailers, which launced a real expansion strategy in the last years.
On some of the platforms, the real estate developers are obliged to invest, such as Electroaparataj, Laromet, Inox, Dacia Textile, Ventilatorul, Electronica or Frigocom.
In the country, Brasov is the city with the largest number of investments: Immochan develops a mall on the former platform Tractorul, Echo Investment has a similar plan for the former Fartec, while Cora is looking for a partner for a mall on the plot of former Hidromecanica. The developers paid over EUR 250 million for lands now being prepared for new capital infusions.
AFI Europe paid EUR 77.5 million for the 15.5 ha of the Laromet factory in Bucureştii Noi, the biggest amount paid for a land on the real estate market in Romania. The crises obliged the company to adjust their ambitious plans for this plot: EUR 700 million for a mall, a residential project and offices. Moreover, the developer sold 3 ha to the retailer Dedeman for EUR 16 million.
AFI Europe has the construction permit for the mall in Bucureştii Noi, the general manager declaring that the works could be started in 2013 or beginning of 2014.
The company also owns the plot of the former Inox factory, also in Bucharest, bought for EUR 17 million, Before the crises, the plans provided the construction of a luxury residential complex of EUR 100 million. The situation changed, AFI is planning now an office project on 60,000 sq. m.
Broadhurst sold in 2007 for EUR 60 million the plot of the former Electroaparataj factory in Bucharest district Pantelimon. The buyer is the Austrian company Real4You, which had announced EUR 400 million investments in Mega Mall. The constructions on the plot were demolished after two years from the acquisition, the company only getting the construction permit after another two year. Currently, the Austrians realized they would not be able to end the construction plan, so they sold this summer 70% of the company owning the land to NEPI, which already started to prepare the land for the construction.
The former textiles factory Dacia will be replaced by Victoria City Center mall, to begin construction works in two-three months, as soon as the construction permit will be issued. The developers, Benevo and CD Capital Partners, paid approx. EUR 40 million for this 5 ha land. Construction preparing works are being carried at present and some of the future tenants of the mall were announced: H&M, Cora, C&A, Inditex group. The mall is scheduled for completion in the first part of 2015, despite the announcement made by the developers in 2010, which announced the delivery of the project in 2013.
Immofinanz, one of the biggest investors on the real estate market, bought in 2007 for EUR 200 million the land portfolio owned by Longbridge, a company controlled by Israeli investors. The package included the former Ventilatorul platform, with an area of 5.3 ha.
The developer started the endeavors to obtain the construction permit for a residential project with 100 units in the first phase, also including office component, but the works are estimated to start in two-three years.
An office project will also be developed on the land of another former factory, now in Immofinanz’s portfolio, the Electronica plot in Bucharest. „If the market is prepared we’ll start the construction, which could be in 2013 only if the market conditions are good. For us, conditions mean enough new office requests ", has declared last autumn Daniel Riedl, COO Immofinanz.
Spain’s Gran Via was one of the Spanish investors to bet on Romanian real estate and bought for EUR 100 million three former factories, a total of 30 ha in Bucharest: Frigocom, Tricodava and Electrotehnica. But facing their homeland economic crises, the Romanian subsidiary was also affected.
Towards the end of 2010, Gran Via sold to Lidl almost 5,200 sq. m of the 21,000 sq. m Frigocom plot. On the rest of the plot, the company started the construction works for a residential project. The land was bought in 2007 for EUR 17.5 million. The other lands of the company are for sale, Gran Via also announcing this autumn the sale to Lidl of a 6,500 sq. m plot, part of the four hectares Electrotehnica platform had. The company also owns half of the Tricodava plot.
Two big international retailers, Cora and Auchan, intend to develop malls in Braşov. The projects are ambitious, especially for Cora, whose first tentative for a mall failed in Constanţa, where the commercial area and the investments were cut down.
Immochan started the construction of the mall on Tractorul platform, bought last year for EUR 25 million. Cora bought in 2010 the former factory Hidromecanica plot, where the construction works for a new mall have begun. The retailer is looking for a new partner.
Also in Braşov, another mall is intended to be built by the Poland’s Echo Investment, which bought in 2007 the plot of the former Fartec factory for EUR 24 million. (source: economica.net)

Toronto’s the Sadies must have been in an especially Canadian mood when they were writing and recording their tenth studio album, 2017’s Northern Passages. The group has always had a knack for creating a powerful atmosphere in the studio, but many of the best moments on Northern Passages suggest they’ve been channeling the golden days of ’70s Can-Con radio. Echoes of the beautiful but moody sounds of Gordon Lightfoot, the Poppy Family, and the Bells float through these songs. They’re most audible on low-key tunes like “Riverview Fog” and “The Good Years,” but even when the band cranks up the amps on “Another Season Again” and “There Are No Words,” the pins-and-needles feel of the wind across the prairies is somewhere in the background. Brothers Dallas and Travis Good are the multi-instrumental powerhouses in the Sadies (and bassist Sean Dean and drummer Mike Belitsky certainly do their fair share of the heavy lifting), but while the siblings have chops galore, their focus has always been on creating an evocative sound and feel. It’s not hard to be impressed with the carefully arranged layers of guitar on “It’s Easy (Like Walking)” and “The Noise Museum,” where they shape their picking into something truly remarkable. (“It’s Easy” also includes a vocal cameo from Kurt Vile.) As usual, the songwriting on Northern Passages is up to the level of the Sadies‘ instrumental skills, and Dallas Good‘s production adds just the right balance of mystery and force to the performances. Just like the Aurora Borealis on the front cover, Northern Passages is something mysterious, dark, and beautiful, and it’s a further reminder that the Sadies are one of the truly great, original bands of their day.

He reiterates that we need to focus on the issues. He recognizes that people are hurting in this country and Trump at least superficially appeals to them because of his bombastic rhetoric. But when we look behind Oz’s curtain we see a man who doesn’t acknowledge climate change. In terms of jobs, he either sends his work overseas of for job in the US he uses foreign workers with low pay and no benefits. In terms of causes for our economic situation, it’s those foreigners who are the problem. On tax policy he wants to give further tax breaks to the rich and corporations, a proven failed policy. He wants to eliminate Obamacare, throwing millions off insurance again and letting the insurance companies return to their greedy ways.
When compared with Clinton’s proposals, which will actually address people’s pain like: raising the minimum wage, debt-free college, creating a more equitable tax code that makes everyone pay their fair share, expanding on Obamacare and social security, and putting reasonable regulations on the big banks and corporations, there really is no comparison.

I mentioned in the previous post that my family is on a muffin kick right now. I think it is a great way to incorporate some fruit or veggies into a meal that used to consist of mainly cold cereal on our busy mornings. These banana muffins have been a popular addition to our breakfast routine.
I know the chocolate and peanut butter chips probably aren’t healthy, but I do use King Arthur’s Whole Wheat flour, and less sugar than the recipe originally called for. That’s got to count for something, right?
So, start with two bowls. One for dry ingredients, and one for the wet ingredients.
I like to mash my bananas with just a fork. I think it works great.
Since school is out, I am blessed with 4 extra little helpers in the kitchen.
Once the muffins come out of the oven, I take them out of the muffin tin and let them cool on a cooling rack. That is if we don’t eat them before they cool.
- 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour (can substitute white all-purpose flour)
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 -1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 egg
- 3 ripe bananas (mashed)
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup oil
- 1/4- 1/3 cup chocolate chips
- 1/4- 1/3 cup peanut butter chips
- (any type or combination of chips can be substituted)
- Preheat oven to 350 degree, then grease a 12 cavity muffin tin.
- In a medium mixing bowl combine all the dry ingredients: flour, baking soda, baking powder, and cinnamon. Stir those together and make a well in the middle.
- In a separate mixing bowl mash the bananas, add the sugar, oil, and egg. Stir to combine.
- Pour banana mixture into the dry mixture, add chips, and stir to combine everything. Only mix until all the dry ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Divide batter among the 12 muffins holes. Bake at 350 degrees for 16-19 minutes. Muffins are done when you can lightly push on the top and they do not sink in. The tops should be fairly firm.
This recipe was adapted from the Better Homes and Gardens cookbook, recipe for banana bread.

A precedent-setting legal challenge that could affect harm reduction efforts across Canada
(Photo credit: Peter Kim | Pivot Legal drug policy lawyer Caitlin Shane and Monique Pongracic-Speier, QC, Ethos Law Group LLP at Federal Court of Canada | December 10, 2018)
Edmonton, AB – Today Caitlin Shane, Pivot Legal Society’s drug policy lawyer, and Monique Pongracic-Speier, QC, of Ethos Law Group LLP, argued on behalf of the Canadian Drug Policy Coalition (CDPC) to protect public health and the Charter rights (Section 7 right to life, liberty, and security of the person) of people who require supervised consumption services.
In October, Edmonton’s Chinatown and Area Business Association brought forward a legal challenge (judicial review) to Health Canada’s approval of supervised consumption services in downtown Edmonton, arguing it was not adequately consulted in the decision. If the challenge is successful, the decision could impact how supervised consumption sites across Canada are approved; namely, by adding unacceptable delays to the provision of life-saving health services.
Using the law as a catalyst for positive social change, Pivot Legal Society works to improve the lives of marginalized communities.
Pivot, acting on behalf of the CDPC (an intervener), argued that allowing community groups extraordinary consultation privileges will create new barriers to supervised consumption services that could infringe upon the Charter rights (right to security of the person) of people who use drugs.
“At a time when ten people a day are dying in Canada because of a toxic drug supply, we cannot afford additional barriers to life-saving harm reduction,” said Caitlin Shane, Pivot’s drug policy lawyer.
If third parties like the Chinatown and Area Business Association were allowed the rights they argue for, public health and the Charter rights of people who use drugs could be seriously threatened.”
In this case, the lives of people who use drugs are being measured against the interests of property owners and businesses. The former, along with the Constitutionally-protected right to health services, should always take precedence over the latter, and the approval of vital supervised consumption services should remain first and foremost a public health decision.

Classic. It’s a word that is, too often, used prematurely, by critics and fans alike. To be a classic, it isn’t enough for a song to stand the test of time. A classic is also flexible: it speaks as clearly to future generations as it does to the generation that first heard it. A classic can be infinitely reinterpreted, and updated, and dressed up in different styles, and it’ll still shine. Most bands are lucky if they make a single record that attains classic status. But the extraordinary Foreigner has given rock fans classic after classic – songs that inscribe themselves on the great world playlist and never budge. We don’t have to list them, because you know them all: you can sing the choruses and you’ll never forget those adamantine riffs and hooks. They’re as undeniable today as they were when they were released, and as long as rock music is played, they’ll continue to be heard.
We can give you the numbers – ten multi-platinum albums, sixteen Top 30 hits, seventy-five million albums sold – but we know that statistics can’t capture the bond a great band has with its fanbase. Foreigner’s songs are living things, and they continue to change and grow as the group evolves. And remarkably for a classic rock act, Foreigner keeps breaking new ground. Foreigner With The 21st Century Orchestra & Chorus is a collaboration between guitarist and founding member Mick Jones and symphonic arrangers Dave Eggar and Chuck Palmer. They’ve applied the color and dynamics of a symphony orchestra to Foreigner’s catalog, and teased out every ounce of grandeur from songs that were already dramatic.
Foreigner With The 21st Century Orchestra & Chorus was recorded in Luzern, Switzerland in front of an ecstatic audience and captured on video, and since everything about Foreigner is maximalist, we couldn’t be satisfied by sending you a single clip. Instead, we’re sending two. The videos on this reel span Foreigner’s career: early smash “Double Vision” from the searing 1978 album of the same name and the taut “Urgent” from the 1981 landmark set 4. Naturally, these videos capture the members of Foreigner performing with the passion that’s helped to make them famous – but what you might not expect is how captivated by the music the orchestral players and choral singers are. They can’t suppress their smiles. You won’t be able to, either.
Here at HIP, it’s always a profound pleasure championing a world famous, legendary rock band like Foreigner, and we hope you embrace the clips for “Double Vision” and “Urgent” as much as we have. If you can add them to your cherished programming in a timely fashion, it would truly make our day! Rest assured we’ll have plenty of Foreigner merch available to set up online / on-air contests and giveaways throughout the campaign so please don’t hesitate to get in touch. For more information, please contact Andy Gesner and the HIP Video Promo team at (732)-613-1779 or email us at email@example.com.

Show Me Center expects at least 4,000 for Make a Difference Tour event
With an all-star lineup of contemporary Christian artists and one of the nation's most popular authors speaking, Sunday evening's performance of the Make a Difference Tour would figure to be a hot ticket.
Show Me Center marketing director Shannon Buford said word-of-mouth advertising will also be at work in boosting attendance.
"The folks that enjoy the music and what they do, they go out and tell every single one of their friends," said Buford, who is projecting attendance to top 4,000.
Christian music stars Michael W. Smith, Third Day and TobyMac headline the event, which will also have inspirational messages from author Max Lucado.
"You've got three Grammy Award-winning artists," Buford said about the trio of headliners. "Each of those individual artists could easily headline their own show. Whenever you get three artists of this caliber, it's a show that once people are aware of it, they want to come and see it."
Proceeds from the event benefit World Vision, a Christian relief, development and advocacy organization dedicated to helping children, families and communities in more than 100 countries overcome poverty and injustice.
The name of the tour comes from Lucado's newest book, "Outlive Your Life: You Were Made to Make a Difference." The book, released in September, challenges readers to use their lives to change the world for the better.
"Outlive Your Life" is the most recent of more than 60 titles penned by Lucado over the past 25 years. His books have sold more than 65 million copies.
The artists performing on the Make a Difference Tour represent the spectrum of genres within contemporary Christian music.
Smith, with career sales of more than 15 million albums, represents mainstream Christian music. Of his 21 albums released over a career spanning 27 years, 16 have gone gold and five platinum. Smith has won three Grammy Awards and was inducted into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame in 2009.
Third Day's Christian rock music has produced album sales of more than 6 million to go along with 27 No. 1 singles. A longtime partner of World Vision, their efforts have resulted in the sponsorship of more than 22,000 children.
TobyMac won the Gospel Music Association Dove Awards Artist of the Year for 2008. He has won five Grammy Awards -- one four his solo work and four as a part of the group dcTalk. His music has strong elements of rap and rhythm and blues.
In addition to the established stars of the show, the Make a Difference Tour has also added a relative newcomer, Jason Gray, to the lineup. His album "Everything Sad is Coming Untrue" made CCM Magazine's list of top 10 faith-based albums for 2009.
The Cape Girardeau concert will be the fourth stop on the Make a Difference Tour, which began Thursday night in Youngstown, Ohio. Twenty dates have been scheduled through October.
1333 N. Sprigg St., Cape Girardeau, MO


The Movement for the Survival of the Ogoni People (MOSOP) has described the current military operations in parts of Ogoniland, Rivers State, as a step in the right direction.
The military operation is to weed out criminals, vandals and cultists who MOSOP said has turned the area into a blood river.
A statement on Sunday by its President, Legborsi Pyagbara, said an end must come to criminal activities in Ogoniland.
The statement reads: “While we hail the deployment of military personnel in Ogoniland, we urge that the operations be carried out within the ambit of the law and respect for the rights of innocent citizens so that unnecessary collateral damage will not be experienced.
“We urge the people to remain peaceful, law abiding and support the legitimate operations. We assure the people that we are monitoring the process to ensure that innocent lives are not lost. We will promptly take actions against any of such operations that lead to any unnecessary attack on innocent individuals.”
MOSOP added that any breach of professional rule of engagement observed during the military operations should be reported to the appropriate military authorities and to the office of the umbrella organisation of Ogoni people.

An audit is being launched on how much overseas patients and short-term residents cost the health service, as Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt is due to announce a "crackdown" on abuse of public health services next week.
According to Department of Health research:
- The NHS bill for treating tourists is estimated to be up to £200 million.
- Expats, who currently face paying for care if they live permanently overseas, are set to be given guaranteed access to free NHS healthcare, but only once they have paid 10 years of national insurance contributions.
- Around £33 million went on the treatment of foreign nationals in hospitals in 2011/12, of which around £12 million was written off.
- Less than half of overseas visitors using hospitals are identified and only half of their costs are recovered.

Crews have started clearing trees and pushing dirt for a new Love’s Travel Stop & Country Store location going up on nearly 17 acres of land at the intersection of U.S. Hwy. 280 and Summerville Road in Smiths Station, just north of Phenix City.
Oklahoma City-based Love’s, which committed to the Alabama city last summer, will soon begin vertical construction on its 8,600-square-foot country store, with an expected opening this fall.
The business is expected to include a Godfather’s Pizza restaurant and a 24-hour Chester’s chicken eatery for motorists and over-the-road truckers stopping there, as well as area residents needing to top off their tummies with a meal. Both of those large chains have no current presence in the area.
“There will be 51 truck parking spaces and an RV dump planned for this site. We look forward to becoming part of the Smiths Station area and serving customers in a new part of the state,” the company said.
Love’s also is expected to have a solid economic impact on the city, employing about 40 people full-time and pumping sales tax revenue of more than $3 million into the community’s coffers.
The icing on the project’s cake will be the $3 million in road improvements at the intersection of Summerville Road and U.S. Hwy. 280. That is to include the widening of some portions of the intersection and longer acceleration and deceleration lanes, which will be needed for additional traffic at the site, to include a steady flow of large tractor-trailer rigs.
Love’s also is footing the cost of running a sewage line to their site, which should help spur further commercial development in and around the area, Smiths Station Mayor F.L. “Bubba” Copeland has said of the new business.
“By having the first company to invest and bring the huge gas main and the huge sewage and the huge water main to the site, that will be the fuse that lights economic growth in that area,” Copeland said.
Smiths Station, which gets its name from the railroad track that has long run through it, was incorporated in 2001 and has a population within its city limits of just under 5,400 people, according to a 2016 U.S. Census estimate. However, a broader area was designated a “census-designated place” in 2000, with a population of nearly 22,000.
Founded in 1964 in Watonga, Okla., privately owned Love’s has grown through the years to 460 retail locations in 41 states. It has 22,000 employees on its payroll.

Production Weekly has confirmed the working title of Diego Luna’s upcoming Star Wars series centered on Cassian Andor.
Lucasfilm’s plans for the Star Wars franchise include a Disney Plus series centered on Cassian Andor, the Rebel Alliance intelligence officer who led the unit that stole the Death Star Plan in Rogue One. Set before the events of Rogue One, the Cassian Andor series will see Diego Luna reprise his role from the film.
Last year, a rumor claimed the working title for the Cassian Andor series was going to be “White Snake.” Now, Production Weekly has confirmed the working title to be true in a listing posted yesterday.
Joining Diego Luna in the Disney Plus series is Alan Tudyk, who reprises his Rogue One role as K-2SO. The Americans producer Stephen Schiff serves as showrunner on the Cassian Andor series, which is expected to begin filming this year.
Here is the official synopsis for Rogue One:
From Lucasfilm comes the first of the Star Wars standalone films, “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story,” an all-new epic adventure. In a time of conflict, a group of unlikely heroes band together on a mission to steal the plans to the Death Star, the Empire’s ultimate weapon of destruction. This key event in the Star Wars timeline brings together ordinary people who choose to do extraordinary things, and in doing so, become part of something greater than themselves.
Directed by Gareth Edwards from a screenplay co-written by Chris Weitz and Tony Gilroy based on a story by John Knoll and Gary Whitta, Rogue One stars Felicity Jones, Diego Luna, Ben Mendelsohn, Donnie Yen, Mads Mikkelsen, Alan Tudyk, Riz Ahmed, with Jiang Wen and Forest Whitaker.
Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is now available on Digital HD, Blu-Ray, and DVD while Diego Luna’s Cassian Andor prequel series is expected to be released on Disney Plus in 2021.

Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros are set to release their new, self-titled, album on August 26th.
Capable of crafting gloriously well-hewn pieces of acoustic songsmithery, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros have somehow avoided the glare of public acclaim.
Something which could well change, given their recent endorsement. Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros have become the first band to sign to Mumford & Sons' label Gentlemen of the Road, and are in fact the only band besides the globe-trotting troupe to sit on the roster.
Quite a boost, the new comes as the group sign off session on their second album. Self-titled, the new long player will be released on August 26th, and will be preceded by new single 'Better Days'.
Joyous without being cheesy, classic without seeming cliched, 'Better Days' is a fantastic introduction to an oft overlooked group.
Out on August 26th, listen to it HERE.
Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros will release their new album on August 26th. Tracklisting:
1. Better Days
2. Let’s Get High
5. Country Calling

10. In the Summer

Well the Kurds are hopefully able to stand their ground and they have allegedly taken over Kirkuk now which they can use as a bargain tool - to be allowed to annex the city if they help the Iraqi government when they try to retake Mosul and eventually drive ISIS out of the Nineveh province if that happens to be at all feasible.For the Assyrians:
The government of Mosul, Iraq’s second largest city, fell overnight to the jihadist Islamic State of Iraq and Levant, also called the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS). Mosul’s panic-stricken Christians, along with many others, are now fleeing en masse to the rural Nineveh Plain, according to the Vatican publication Fides. The border crossings into Kurdistan, too, are jammed with the cars of the estimated 150,000 desperate escapees.
The population, particularly its Christian community, has much to fear. The ruthlessness of ISIS, an offshoot of al-Qaeda, has been legendary. Its beheadings, crucifixions, and other atrocities against Christians and everyone else who fails to conform to its vision of a caliphate have been on full display earlier this year, in Syria.
As Corner readers will remember, in February, it was the militants of this rebel group that, in the northern Syrian state of Raqqa, compelled Christian leaders to sign a 7th-century dhimmi contract. The document sets forth specific terms denying the Christians the basic civil rights of equality and religious freedom and committing them to pay protection money in exchange for their lives and the ability to keep their Christian identity.
Many Nineveh residents fled to Kurdish-controlled northern Iraq on Tuesday.
Since 2003, Iraq’s Christian community has suffered intense religious persecution on top of the effects of the conflict and, as a result, it’s shrunk by well over 50 percent. Mosul, the site of ancient Nineveh of the Assyrians, who converted to Christianity in the first century, has become the home of many Christians who remained. Considered by Christians the place of last resort inside Iraq, Mosul and the surrounding Nineveh Plain has been home to many Christian refugees driven out of Baghdad and Basra. Mosul has the only university, the best hospitals, and the largest markets serving the Christian towns and villages of the Nineveh Plain. The plain, itself, is now at grave risk of direct jihadi attacks and the possibility of being cut off from an essential city.
Once upon a time, some of the Mosul Christians might have fled to Syria, but they now have few options. More will give up on the region altogether and join their relatives and former neighbors in Michigan, California, Sweden, and elsewhere in the West. The fall of Mosul is a serious blow for the Iraqi state, and the implications for Iraq’s Christian community are devastating.
ISIS now controls the area surrounding Mosul’s Catholic Chaldean cathedral. Fides reports that Chaldean bishop Amel Shamon Nona and the other bishops of Mosul launched an appeal yesterday to keep churches and mosques there open to pray for peace. Their perseverance in the face of such peril is heartbreaking. ISIS will not listen, of course. They are not men of peace and they kill those who are, as they did Father Paolo Dall’Oglio in Raqqa last year. These bishops and their flocks should load up their cars and head for the Kurdish border without delay.
President Maliki is vowing that Iraq’s army will regain control, but this may take time. ISIS has controlled parts of Ramadi, the capital of Sunni Muslim Anbar province, and much of Fallujah for the past six months. When the army does eventually succeed in reversing jihadi control in Mosul, it may be too late for the Christians. Once Middle Eastern Christians flee to the West, they don’t return.
In other words, the religious cleansing of Christians from Iraq is entering the end game.
This is a profound development for the Christian church, of course, which has had a two-thousand-year-old presence there. But it will have long-term national-security implications for the West. American political leaders have so far failed to distinguish the religious cleansing from its surrounding context of terror and conflict. They overlook the fact that religious pluralism and diversity are among today’s casualties. As one Chaldean bishop lamented, “This is very sad and very dangerous for the church, for Iraq and even for Muslim people, because it means the end of an old experience of living together.”


Oliver’s debut album Novemberism was released on November 15 and has been hailed as a “melancholic masterpiece”, in the Sunday Times Culture Magazine, by acclaimed critic, Lisa Verrico.
She wrote, “This newcomer from Brighton equates November with deep-seated sadness, and his debut is a melancholic masterpiece that captures the confusion of a break-up. Spectral vocals set to strings, synth pop and sparse piano bring to mind James Blake and the Blue Nile. Golden, a wintry spine-chiller, and Xanax, a 1980s-indebted beauty, should be among the songs of the year.”
Glide called it a “soulful chamber pop composition” showcasing a “staggeringly beautiful voice.”
