Chapter 717Chapter 716. She had never expected this
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“What… Is This? !”
Saint King puppet exclaimed. She wanted to check the abnormality in her body, but she couldn’t find any trace.
Chen Chen smiled strangely and said, “My devil seed is similar to your soul-seizing seed, but your soul-seizing seed controls cultivators, while my devil seed absorbs cultivation.”
After saying that, Chen Chen communicated with the devil seed in Saint Puppet King’s body. Soon, traces of cultivation power were transferred into his body.
Saint puppet king felt the changes in his body, and his face became abnormally ugly.
Chen Chen said at this time, “Saint Puppet King, many Saint Kings of the Abyss world have fallen and become slaves of the underworld god. They have lost the chance to ascend to the immortal world forever.
“If you return to the Abyss World, you will have the same ending.
“However, it is different with me. If you perform well, I will return your freedom. In the end, there is no deep hatred between us.”
Saint King demon puppet frowned when she heard that many Saint Kings had fallen and become slaves.
She obviously knew what Chen Chen was trying to say.
It was nothing more than hitting a sweet date with a stick. As a cultivator at the peak of the Mahayana realm, she had seen too many such tricks.
But… no matter what, it was better than falling.
Chen Chen glanced outside the Abyss sect’s array without leaving a trace, and then patted Saint King puppet’s shoulder.
“I don’t give you much time to think. Make good use of it.”
“Humph! Think about what? Do I still have a chance to choose?”
Saint King puppet stood up angrily and glared at Chen Chen.
Chen Chen laughed out loud. “That’s right. A wise man submits to circumstances. You will never regret your decision today!”
After saying that, Chen Chen took out the female immortal puppet from his storage ring and threw it in front of Saint King Puppet.
“T’ll return this to you for now.”
Upon seeing the female immortal puppet, Saint Demon Puppet King’s eyes lit up, and he hurriedly began to establish contact with the female immortal puppet.
This female immortal puppet was her greatest pillar of support, and now that she had lost it and regained it, one could imagine how happy she was. Even the depression she felt after surrendering had dissipated by
“Saint Demon Puppet King, how many people can your soul-seizing seed control at most?”
Chen Chen asked, but this time he changed it to voice transmission.
“I can produce unlimited soul-seizing seeds, but I can only control a thousand people at most.”
“It’s enough to produce unlimited soul-seizing seeds. I don’t expect you to control hundreds of thousands of cultivators at the same time.”
Chen Chen replied.
He planted the soul-seizing seed on hundreds of thousands of Abyss sect cultivators not to let demon puppet Saint King control them directly, but to put a shackle on this group of people and let them know that their
lives and deaths were in the hands of others.
Now, those who were not afraid of death had already died, and the remaining ones were all afraid of death. Through this method, they could grasp some power as quickly as possible.
“Planting the soul snatching seed on so many people, I need to borrow the power of the array formation.”
Sacred King Demon puppet said.
“Don’t worry. As long as I can do it, I will support you with all my strength.”
Not long after, sacred king demon puppet began to plant the soul snatching seed on the group of Abyss sect cultivators.
Hundreds of thousands of cultivators of the Abyss sect had no choice but to submit in order to survive.
Seeing this scene, Chen Chen felt relieved and came to the side of the Heavenly Demon City Lord.
“Master, the Abyss sect has accumulated a lot of strategic resources. We don’t have to be polite. Let’s keep them all.”
The Heavenly Demon City Lord looked at Chen Chen deeply and said, “Yes, but Chen Chen, what exactly did you experience in the Abyss world to increase your strength to such an extent?”
Chen Chen shook his head and said, “Master, now is not the time to talk about this. Just now, there were Mahayana cultivators from other sects spying on US outside the array formation. I think it won’t be long before
the people from the Cthulhu Hall and the immortal sects arrive.”
The Heavenly Demon City Lord’s expression tensed when he heard this and he ordered loudly, “Collect all the resources of the Abyss sect! Don’t leave a brick or a tile!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the Hundred Thousand Sky Demon City cultivators dispersed in a hubbub and began to demolish their homes.
Chen Chen silently went to the myriad spirit cauldron and took out the nine heavens mysterious tower.
“System, where is the most precious treasure within a radius of ten miles?”
“It’s in the host’s hands.”
Hearing this answer, Chen Chen kept the nine heavens mysterious tower.
This kind of great killing weapon only needed one. No matter how many it was, it wouldn’t be able to be used.
Since the Ten Thousand Spirit Cauldron’s level couldn’t compare to the nine heavens mysterious tower, he might as well give it to someone else. If it really came to a critical moment, it would be of great use.
At the same time, in the evil god Hall of the true spirit world, a black-clothed cultivator suddenly appeared from the void and landed in front of the evil god Hall Master.
“Hall Master! This is a huge change!”
The evil god Hall Master who was sitting in the hall opened his eyes and asked in a deep voice, “What’s wrong? Did those cultivators from Heavenly Devil City really attack the Abyss Abyss sect?”
To be honest, the Heavenly Devil City Master had asked him to bring people to the Abyss sect and said that the Abyss sect was now empty and that it was a great opportunity to break through in one fell swoop. In his
heart, he did not completely not believe it.
It was just that he had a big business and could not afford to take such a risk, so he refused.
Although he refused, he sent the cultivators with the best concealment skills from the evil god temple to the vicinity of the Abyss sect in advance to gather intelligence and prevent accidents from happening.
“Yes, Hall Master… Not only did they attack, but…”
“And what? Did they all die? Tell me quickly!”
The Hall Master of the evil God temple slammed the table and shouted.
“Not all of them died. It’s worse than being completely wiped out. They were all captured alive… but the ones who were captured alive were the cultivators of the Abyss sect. There were hundreds of thousands of
The black-clothed cultivator sorted out his emotions and finished speaking in one breath.
After he finished speaking, he didn’t believe it himself. His eyes were dazed, as if he was living in a dream.
The Hall Master of the Cthulhu Hall suddenly stood up. His eyes were full of astonishment, and he even forgot to control his aura. He directly shattered the throne that the previous hall master had passed down to him
“You… you weren’t affected by an illusion?”
“No… No, I saw it with my own eyes. I’m sure,”the black-robed cultivator replied.
The evil god temple master fell into complete silence. If it weren’t for the fact that he had lost his throne, he would definitely have fallen on it.
After all, all the cultivators of the true spirit world had been preparing for the war day and night for the sake of the war between the two worlds that might happen in a few years.
But now, his subordinate told him that the cultivators of Heavenly Devil City had directly attacked the Abyss sect and captured hundreds of thousands of Abyss sect cultivators. To be honest, even if he was dreaming,
he wouldn’t dare to have such a dream!
“Tell me in detail, what exactly happened?”
The evil god temple master asked anxiously.
“The main thing is that the little disciple of the Heavenly Devil City’s City Lord, who had gone missing for a few years and announced to the public that he was dead, has returned. Not only has he returned, his strength
has also become extremely terrifying. With a flip of his hand, he has suppressed more than 100,000 Abyss sect’s experts.
“Moreover, the Abyss sect is indeed empty. There is only one sacred king guarding it.”
“Is… is it that Chen Chen?”
The evil god Hall Master Thought for a while and finally remembered who the Heavenly Devil City Lord’s little disciple was. Wasn’t he the immortal body that won the battle against the Abyss sect back then?
However, he was only at the Mahayana realm back then. In his eyes, he was just a chess piece that performed extremely well. Then, he disappeared for a few years. Now, he had turned the tables and suppressed more
than 100,000 experts?
Could it be that he had gone to the immortal world for a few years?
“Chen Chen? What happened to Chen Chen? where is he? I knew he wasn’t dead! Master, I want to take revenge on him. With my current strength…”
Outside the main hall, You Ming, who had heard Chen Chen’s name, suddenly rushed into the main hall. His face was filled with fighting spirit.
The evil God temple master looked at his disciple with disdain and said angrily, “Scram! Scram as far as you can!”
After saying that, he waved his hand and threw the netherworld out.
“No, I still have to inform the other sects about this.”
After throwing the netherworld out, the evil god temple master paced around the hall twice and then took out a few communication tokens..

Directed by Arivazhagan, “Aarathu Sinam” is a Tamil crime thriller and is a remake of “Memories 2013”, a Malayalam movie by Jeethu Joseph. While N.Ramasamy has produced the film,
Thaman has composed the music. The production of the movie started in the month of November 2015 and was all set to be released today that is 26 February 2016.
The film is going to enjoy a good response since Memories stands in the list of top suspense thrillers ever created in Mollywood.
The story of “Aarathu Sinam” is entirely contemporary and revolves around issues of modern day. The film is specially dedicated to the youngsters.
The film stars Arulnithi along with Aishwarya Dutta in the lead female role. These days, Tamil film industry is dominated by thriller movies and so, this would face some tough competition with releases.
Watch trailer video:
After the official trailer, one can say that this film is quite different from other Malayalam movies. In this film, Arulnithi plays the role of a police officer who is an alcoholic. He has displayed all angles of perfection in this role.
Earlier we have already seen the actor play a cop in different movies, and so, this shouldn’t have been a terrible thing to do. Heroines don’t have many tasks to do in this film. The songs are pretty catchy and are sure to gain a lot of popularity once the film releases.
The plot of this movie!
The plot revolves around Sam Alex, a peace loving policeman whose wife and daughter get murdered right in front of him. Owing to this, he turns alcoholic and starts an investigation of another case wherein few girls go missing and are found to be kidnapped.
After many refusals, he finally accepts the case and finds a breakthrough. With the help of post-mortem reports, he finds some clues that the killer leaves on the chest of the victim. This story is a new experience in itself and mainly deals with modern day issues.

Today’s poetry picture book is based on a very familiar tune I remember quite well from childhood.
MONSTERS IN THE BRINY is written to follow the tune of “What do you do with a drunken sailor.” It isn’t mentioned anywhere in the book, only alluded to (even with the sheet music at the back). I remember singing that song in elementary school and years later wondering what the heck we were singing that song for! BUT here, it works like magic as a great backbone for a fantasy tale of incredible sea creatures. There are cranky krakens and many more incredibly fun critters and lyrics. What a great way to capitalize on the sea shanty craze! And what a great way to get your reader to hum all through the book. I show only one page so you get the idea of what to expect from this little gem.

Since I am not able to be at Coachella 2020 this weekend I thought I would try to re-live some of the 2019 moments on the blog this week and discuss the art installations from last year. One of my most fun experiences at the festival last year was during the second weekend. I had arrived early because I had heard a rumor that Kenny G was going to be a surprise guest in a tent, which seemed odd but turned out to be true. After shooting Kenny at Noon I was walking back to the press area and the grounds of the festival were empty. I saw someone sitting outside programming the H.i.P.O exhibit with a computer. This was the first year I had attended the festival when the Hippos were part of an exhibit and I was fascinated by it and I always walked by it several times a day on the first weekend to see what the Hippos were doing inside the spaceship.
My friend Chris Victorio and I decided to talk to him and maybe get a picture if he was the artist. It turned out he was Dave Slodki, the Hollywood lighting and controls designer for the exhibit helping the artists who created it. He was amazing and asked if Chris and I would be interested in going inside the space ship. Of course, we said yes and he took us inside. We met the artists who designed it and then they asked us if we wanted to suit up and go inside the windows with the Hippos! I couldn’t believe it and we immediately said yes. We had to suit up in actual safari clothes to blend with the exhibit and look like we were photographing the animals in their natural habitat. It was so much fun and produced some great unique images like the one above from the inside. It turned out to be a highlight for me of the whole festival.
H.i.P.O. (Hazardous Interstellar Professional Operations) was created by artist duo Vanessa Bonet and Derek Doublin, known as Dedo Vabo. The duo creates absurdist, magical-realist worlds through architecture, robotics, multimedia elements, and performers dressed as hippopotamuses.
“We kind of like to use the hippos as a way to hold up a distorted funhouse mirror to society and just human evolution in general,” Doublin has stated. The works are almost like a shadow box you can peer inside, where the people in the audience are “observers or scientists that are witnessing these really bizarre things happening.”
Bonet and Doublin worked on their third piece for Coachella, H.i.P.O.—a 75-foot-tall rocket and laboratory manned by hippos—for around 10 months before last year’s event. They consider the Coachella festival in Indio to be the most exciting venue for art, given how ambitious they can be and the massive audience they can reach. The piece was made up of six performance spaces, where the hippos, who are inexperienced in rocketry, attempt to launch the spaceship and engage in deep-space communications and experiments. Though their works often spark confusion or extreme reactions, they simply hope to make an impression.

Price of fun falls
July 07, 2000
In recent years, fun has become cheaper as the prices paid by consumers for toys and sporting goods have dropped.
Sporting goods prices have fallen for five years in a row, from 1995 to 1999. The latest drop was the largest of the five at 3.0 percent. Prices for sporting goods were 4.5 percent lower in 1999 than five years earlier.
Toy prices have declined for three years in a row—by 1.6 percent in 1997, 6.1 percent in 1998, and 8.0 percent in 1999. Toy prices in 1999 were 15 percent below their level of three years earlier.
These data are produced by the BLS Consumer Price Index program. More information on consumer price changes can be found in "Core consumer prices in 1999: low by historical standards," by Todd Wilson, Monthly Labor Review, April 2000. Annual percent changes are December-to-December changes.

The Military Orthopaedic Trauma Registry (MOTR) is a comprehensive joint service registry of military orthopaedic injuries. Conceived in 2006, MOTR is now operational for retrospective data entry and prospective data collection of extremity injuries sustained by U.S. service members serving in current Overseas Contingency Operations. Running in tandem with data from the United States Army Institute of Surgical Research's Joint Theater Trauma Registry (JTTR), MOTR augments the casualty data included in JTTR with additional orthopaedic specific data (i.e., the injury patterns, characteristics, treatment, and complications associated with extremity war injuries). Extremity war injuries are the major clinical burden of the current conflicts. However, the scope of the injuries in detail useful to the orthopaedic researcher has never been prospectively collected. MOTR is designed to fill that gap in extremity trauma research. As such, MOTR represents an evolutionary step in the refinement of data-driven disaster management.

POPULAR VENUE: People queue up at the entrance to the Spain Pavilion during the test run of the Expo site on April 23 (GUO XIAOYONG)
Shanghai, one of the most populated cities in the world's most populous nation, knew it had the largest ever World Exposition to prepare for more than two years prior to its opening, when a record number of countries and international organizations confirmed their participation.
A total of 246 countries and international organizations take part in World Expo 2010, far exceeding the record of 172 participants created by Expo 2000 in Hannover. The organizers of the Shanghai Expo had long expected the event to attract around 70 million visitors, or more than 400,000 per day, during its 184-day run.
The opportunities and challenges of Shanghai's grand, international fair have kept urban planners busy for years in the lead-up to the Expo, upgrading the city's amenities and traffic facilities to ensure the Expo is a success.
GUARDING THE WATERS: A patrolling boat is anchored at a dock on the Bund. The boat conducts security checks on ships traveling on the Huangpu River during the Expo (CHEN FEI)
The 2010 Expo site is located in the heartland of Shanghai, on the waterfront area between the Nanpu Bridge and Lupu Bridge, along both sides of the Huangpu River. Covering a total area of 5.28 square km, the site encompasses 3.93 square km on the east side of the river and 1.35 square km on the west side.
Since 2007, Shanghai has been engaged in a series of projects to improve its traffic infrastructure as part of preparation efforts.
Shanghai's airports, which will be able to handle 260,000 passengers per day, as well as the railway system and long-distance buses, are fully prepared to handle all Expo tourist flows from other parts of China and abroad, said Shen Xiaosu, Deputy Director of the Shanghai Urban Construction and Communications Commission, at a press conference on April 15.
A 360,000-square-meter new airport terminal in the Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport commenced operation on March 16, and will eventually handle more than 90 percent of all flights to the airport.
On the first day of its operation, a total of 11 domestic carriers moved their operations to the new terminal. The terminal is part of the 26-square-km Hongqiao traffic hub, which includes a railway station and a long-distance bus terminal.
The extension of Shanghai's subway Line 2, which connects to the new terminal, also commenced operation on March 16.
As Shanghai's 11th subway line started trial operation on April 10, the city had more than 420 km of metro routes in service, the longest among all Chinese cities. According to Shen, metro routes in Shanghai are expected to facilitate more than 6 million trips per day during the Expo, and more than half of Shanghai residents choose metro lines as their first choice of daily transportation.
Shen said the city now has 145 km of high-speed roads in its central districts—a 25-percent increase compared to 2008. Shanghai also has eight highways that link it to neighboring cities, with a total length of 776 km.

Dame Kelly Holmes at Henley Royal Regatta
Summing up this year’s Henley Royal Regatta, the event’s Chairman Mike Sweeney, said that 2010 had seen a fantastic level of entry for the Regatta and a great summer for rowing. He commented on the challenging conditions for the finals; after six months of a predominantly kinder following wind from the North, it had changed on Wednesday to the South West and a tough head wind, easing a little for the semi-finals on Saturday when the records broken were a testament to the quality of crews taking part.
The prizes were awarded to the winning crews by Dame Kelly Holmes who said this was the first rowing competition she had ever attended. “In my sport we’re not so used to tradition, but everyone looks stunning so don’t ever change! But some critical things are just the same, the passion, the pride and the physical ability of the athletes – and I also hated racing into the wind.”
With the Olympics in mind in 2012, Dame Kelly said “If we are able to put on events like this I know we will be able to stage the best Games in the world.” She thanked Sir Steve Redgrave for inviting her to take part and said she was delighted to hear that he was recovering from his recent accident. “This competition will go down in my books as one of my most memorable occasions.”
One of the great races of the day was saved for the very last when Nottingham & Union Rowing Club’s four, behind London Rowing Club until the Stewards’ Enclosure, raised their rate and stormed on to win the Wyfold trophy.

Most of us expected that with NBA 2K23, the community would finally grow by connecting players, allowing different platforms and console generations to play together seamlessly. However, that doesn’t seem to be the case this year either.
The game was released on the 9th of September for the PlayStation, Xbox, and PC with yet another unfortunate confirmation through the game’s website.
Does NBA 2K23 Support Cross-Platform Play?
No, NBA 2K23 was confirmed to not feature crossplay with different platforms. PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation (PS4 and PS5) and Xbox (Xbox One and Xbox Series X) players will have to compete with players that are using the same console. This was seemingly confirmed on the game’s FAQ:
“NBA 2K23 will feature MyTEAM Cross-Progression and a Shared VC Wallet within the same console family (PlayStation®4 <> PlayStation®5, Xbox One <> Xbox Series X|S). MyTEAM Cross-Progression enables all MyTEAM Points, Tokens, cards and progress to be shared across both versions of NBA 2K23 on generations of consoles in the same console family.”
To add insult to the injury, there will be no crossplay between different generations of consoles as well. PS4 players can’t play with PS5 players, and similarly Xbox One players can’t play with Xbox Series X players.
This is a letdown considering how FIFA was able to add crossplay between console generations and PC, making the game more accessible and fun to play regardless of which system you owned.
Ronnie 2K briefly discussed crossplay in NBA 2K23 in a Twitch livestream with Mobuckets, where he said that it’s not as easy as it would seem to put crossplay into the game. He further added that the community would be the first to know about any announcements regarding the feature.
Is there Cross-Progression in NBA 2K23?
There is cross-progression in NBA 2K23 but not in the way you think. Your progress does not carry over between different console families (progress sharing between Xbox, PlayStation and PC is not possible). However, consoles from different generations can share their progress within MyTEAM, allowing them to link their MyTEAM tokens, points, cards and VC between both versions of the game.
Any purchased VC on different generations, will be available to spend on both versions of the game (within the same console family). Also, if you happen to buy the NBA 2K23 Championship, Michael Jordan or Digital Deluxe Edition, you will be able to get the game for both versions of your respective console.
Can Next-Generation Players Hop On The Current-Gen Version?

The previous instalments in NBA 2K haven’t exactly had an inclination towards cross-platform play. So much so, that even consoles of different generations haven’t been able to play together. This has created a rift and a longing for a sense of a potentially much bigger community.
With 2K23, players were hoping that the game would finally introduce crossplay but to no avail. Let’s keep up the high hopes for next year. If all works out, we’ll see you in the court in 2K24!

The Legislature’s Labor and Workforce Development committee will be holding a brief legislative hearing on Paid Family and Medical Leave and a $15 Minimum Wage this week. The hearing will take place in the Massachusetts State House, Room B2, at 1:00 p.m. on Tuesday, January 30th.
Raise Up Massachusetts’ paid leave ballot question would create a Paid Family and Medical Leave Insurance Program for Massachusetts workers, providing up to 16 weeks of job-protected paid leave to care for a seriously ill or injured family member, to care for a new child, or to meet family needs arising from a family member’s active duty military service (family leave); and up to 26 weeks of job-protected paid leave to recover from a worker’s own serious illness or injury (medical leave), or to care for a seriously ill or injured service member.
Raise Up Massachusetts’ $15 minimum wage ballot question would raise the Massachusetts minimum wage, currently $11 an hour, by $1 each year over four years until it is $15 an hour in 2022. The minimum wage would then be adjusted each year to rise at the same rate as the cost of living.
This fall, the Raise Up Massachusetts coalition of community organizations, religious groups, and labor unions collected a total of 274,652 signatures, all without using paid signature gathering companies. The coalition collected 139,055 signatures for a $15 minimum wage and 135,597 for paid family and medical leave, well beyond the required 64,750 signatures for each petition.
Both measures are expected to be on November’s ballot.

A prototype for a reusable cup made from 72% used coffee grounds, 18% bioresin, a non-toxic glue made from a by-product of the widget industry, 9% ground rice husks, a waste product of the rice growing/processing industry, and 1% vegetable dye. Advertised as Carbon negative due to the high percentage of reclaimed material used in its manufacture. This sample cup was created by Cambond Ltd to demonstrate how technology can combine plastics with plant mass to form polymer composites, to explore the mechanical properties of coffee/polymer composites and to verify manufacturing technologies. The glue was developed by Cambond as a plant-based alternative to existing toxic options. At the same time as the company were developing their glue they were reading about the amount of coffee cups ending up in landfill. Cambond benefited from a the Design Council's Spark programme which was launched in 2014 and was a support and funding scheme created to help inventors and entrepreneurs turn ideas into commercially viable products. The deep ridges around the cup help to keep the hand away from the hot surface and therefore comfortable to hold. The cup was an entry for the Horners Award for Plastics Innovation & Design 2017.

There’s no denying that U.S. housing data has been weak in recent months, as inventory shortage has started taking toll on sales’ pace and pushed average home prices higher nationwide. Additionally, the U.S. Government’s latest move of imposing tariff on imported steel and aluminum is also niggling investors.
Nonetheless, overlooking the sector will not be advisable, as the industry looks equally good for the balance of 2018 banking on strong fundamentals, signaling a profitable investment opportunity.Consistent job growth along with seemingly high homebuilders’ confidence is expected to show strong footing.
What Numbers Have to Say
After performing remarkably well in 2017, housing sales are trending down for both existing and new homes. Sales of new homes in the United States dropped 1.5% in April after gaining in March, per the latest report of the Commerce Department. In fact, new home sales faltered in three of the last four months this year. Housing starts and building permits also fell 3.7% and 1.8%, respectively, in the month.
Moreover, existing-home sales faltered in April on both a monthly and annualized basis, according to the National Association of Realtors, after moving upward for two straight months. Total existing-home sales decreased 2.5% in April from March. With this decline, sales are now 1.4% below a year ago and have fallen year-over-year for two straight months. (Read: Best Leveraged ETFs to Start June)
A tight labor market, limited land availability and a constrained mortgage environment are restricting homebuilders to respond to growing demand. Meanwhile, there are other factors that can deal a fresh blow to the housing industry. The U.S. Government’s recent move of imposing tariff on imported steel and aluminum has spurred concerns among investors about certain U.S. sectors, particularly construction.
The cost of goods used in construction increased 6.4% in April at the fastest year-over-year rate since 2011. Prices surged for a wide range of building materials, including many that are subject to proposed tariffs, which is expected to further push prices higher and cause scarcities, per the latest report by the Associated General Contractors of America of Labor Department. The report further revealed that the new data indicates many firms are already being squeezed by higher materials prices that they are unable to pass along to their customers.
This apart, there are concerns over chances of a series of interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve or Fed. The Fed last raised interest rates in March, by a quarter of a percentage point. The target range for benchmark short-term interest rate stands between 1.5% and 1.75%. This was the sixth-rate hike undertaken by the Fed since 2015. The Fed expects to increase interest rates two more times in 2018. Fed officials now project a median federal funds rate of 2.9% by the end of 2019, which indicates three rate hikes in 2019 against two predicted in the last Fed meeting in December 2017. They expect the rate to move up to 3.4% in 2020 from the previous expectation of 3.1%.
Mortgage rates, which loosely follow the yield on the 10-year Treasury, started the year at around 4% but began rising thereafter. Mortgage rates are surging in proportion to U.S. government bond yields in anticipation of higher rates of inflation and further monetary tightening by the Fed.
Additionally, to make up for rising labor costs, homebuilders are being compelled to raise home prices to maintain margins that is expected to deter entry-level homebuyers. April’s median sales price of existing homes grew 5.3% from the comparable period a year ago, marking the 74th straight month of year-over-year gains. In 2017, prices increased 5.8%, rising for the sixth straight year. Additionally, the median sales price of new homes sold in April was 0.4% higher than a year ago. Overall, rising prices may keep home buyers at bay with many postponing their search for the time being.
All is Not Lost
Although homebuilders acknowledge the rise in labor shortage and land/labor cost, they in general expect the housing market to continue to recover this year in tandem with steady economic growth. (Read: Mid-Cap ETFs to Shrug Off Trade, Fed & Overvaluation Woes)
Consistent job growth, growing interest from first-time homebuyers as well as seemingly high homebuilder confidence are adding to the momentum. Although Fed policymakers are looking at three rate hikes this year, setting the stage for an increase in mortgage rates, Americans are seeing wages growing at the quickest pace since the end of the last decade.
Despite the month-over-month hiccups, new home sales were up 11.6% year over year in April. Additionally, April housing starts were up 10.5% year over year on a 7.2% increase in single-family homes, and a 19.1% surge in apartments. Permits were 7.7% above the April 2017 rate of 1.26 million units prompted by a 7.9% surge in single-family homes and 6.4% growth in buildings with five units or more. (Read: Regional Bank ETFs—What Investors Need to Know)
Overall, solid builders’ confidence in the market along with robust economic growth and a consistent job market raise hopes for the U.S. housing market. Builders’ confidence increased two points to 70 in May from April. Importantly, the reading was above the 50 mark in the first five months of 2018, indicating a favorable outlook. Moreover, this is the fourth time in 2018 that the index has reached 70.
ETFs to Tap the Sector
We take a look at three construction ETFs that are poised to gain from the upswing in the housing market. (See all industrials ETFs here)
SPDR S&P Homebuilders ETF (XHB - Free Report)
The fund employs a replication strategy in seeking to track the performance of the S&P Homebuilders Select Industry Index, which is an equal-weighted index of the homebuilding segment of a U.S. total market composite index. The fund has an expense ratio – an annual fee – of 0.35%.
The top three industries are Homebuilding (32.7%), Building Products (31.7%) and Home-furnishing (10.7%). The top three holdings are Lowe's Companies Inc. (5.3%), Williams-Sonoma Inc. (5.2%) and Home Depot Inc. (5%). This fund holds 35 stocks with about 46.5% invested in the top 10 holdings.
iShares U.S. Home Construction ETF (ITB - Free Report)
ITB tracks the Dow Jones U.S. Select Home Construction Index, which measures the performance of the U.S. home construction sector.
The top three holdings are D.R. Horton Inc. (11.5%), Lennar Corp. (11.3%) and NVR Inc. (8.8%) with about 59.3% invested in the top 10 holdings. The fund is heavily exposed to the Homebuilding sector (64%), followed by Building Products (14.9%) and Home Improvement Retail (10.5%).
This fund holds 47 securities in its basket and has an expense ratio of 0.44%.
PowerShares Dynamic Building & Construction Fund (PKB - Free Report)
PKB seeks to match the performance of Dynamic Building & Construction IntellidexSM Index, which is composed of U.S. building and construction companies. The top three sector allocations are Industrials (42.8%), Consumer Discretionary (36.4%), and Materials (20.8%). Yet, the fund is more expensive than many other options in the space, charging 63 basis points in annual fees.
Among the 30 stocks in the basket, NVR, Martin Marietta Materials Inc. and Tractor Supply Co hold the top spots with 5.1%, 5.1% and 5%, respectively, of total net assets.
To Sum Up
Investors’ sentiments could be dampened by the possibility of an interest rate hike. Also, skilled labor shortage is a cause for concern as demand continues to rise. Rising materials, land and labor costs too are restricting margins as these limit homebuilders’ pricing power.
However, there are plenty of reasons to be optimistic about the broader housing sector over both the short and the long terms. In this context, the above-mentioned ETFs might be sound bets to play the sector.

A proposal to raise California’s minimum wage to $15 an hour by the year 2021 has qualified to be listed on the upcoming November ballot in the state, officials said on Tuesday.
The development comes as a wave of minimum wage increases at the state level sweeps the United States as the federal minimum wage has gone more than six years without an increase from $7.25 an hour.
The California Secretary of State’s office said supporters of the measure, pushed by Labor group coalition Lift Up California, had gathered more than the 400,000 signatures needed to have the Fair Wage Act of 2016 placed on the ballot.
“California has led the country on environmental, health and civil rights protections and it’s only appropriate that we would become the first state to enact a minimum wage that allows millions of families to live in dignity,” Los Angeles County Supervisor Sheila Kuehl said in a statement.
She added that the measure would build on the efforts of Los Angeles lawmakers, who last year passed a law hiking the city’s minimum wage to $15 by 2020.
The measure would boost the state’s minimum wage to $11 an hour in 2017, and increase it by a dollar an hour every year until reaching $15 an hour in 2021. After 2021, the minimum wage would be adjusted annually based on the rate of inflation.
The California Chamber of Commerce said earlier this month that it would oppose any state-wide ballot initiatives for a $15 minimum wage, arguing that it would create new costs for state and local governments as well as businesses.
A Field Poll published last August showed that about seven out of 10 respondents favored the measure, with nearly half saying they strongly favored it.
Fourteen states and several cities began the new year with increases to their minimum wage. California and Massachusetts saw some of the biggest hikes among the states, both increasing from $9 to $10 an hour, according to an analysis by the National Conference of State Legislatures.

The 4 big questions that the next Israeli government will decide
On Sept. 17, Israelis went to the polls for the second time in less than six months.
They were voting again because – for the first time in the country’s history – a coalition government could not be assembled after the last election took place on April 9. To everyone’s surprise, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu – long renowned for his political skills and deals – failed to form the right-wing governing coalition he wanted. He was one seat short of securing a majority in Israel’s parliament, the Knesset.
Trump taps Mike Pompeo lieutenant as new national security adviser
President Donald Trump has announced a new national security adviser.
The president abruptly fired John Bolton last week via tweet, and he tweeted out the announcement Wednesday morning of Robert O’Brien as a replacement.
"I am pleased to announce that I will name Robert C. O’Brien, currently serving as the very successful Special Presidential Envoy for Hostage Affairs at the State Department, as our new National Security Advisor," the president tweeted. "I have worked long & hard with Robert. He will do a great job!"
O'Brien has worked alongside Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who had been considered for a dual role leading the national security council.

B2B Industry Leaders Take the Stage at Mirakl’s 2020 Platform Pioneer Summit
2020 has brought the B2B digital opportunity – and its challenges – into sharp focus. In a digital-first economy, leaders in manufacturing, distribution, and group purchasing are all experiencing fast-growing pressure to dominate the digital sphere, staring down a critical question: how do you realize the full potential of your business in the digital age, while maintaining the competitive differentiation that has brought you to this point?
At the virtual Platform Pioneer Summit on September 9, five of Mirakl’s B2B Platform Pioneers – leaders in their respective industries – will join us to share how they’re leveraging the platform model to solve key B2B challenges and bring new levels of flexibility to their channels & ecosystems.
With just two weeks to go until the Summit on September 9, we’re taking a minute to share a sneak peek from some of the Platform Pioneers who will be sharing their marketplace journeys with attendees.
Premier: Creating the next generation of healthcare procurement online
As one of the largest group purchasing organizations in the United States, Premier handles $61 billion in annual spend from more than 200,000 members, with sales driven largely by person-to-person interactions and manual processes. While that traditional model has been the driver of Premier’s success, their customer research was signaling a change in the market. Their buyers were looking for more convenient online buying channels, and the market lacked a single, trusted channel to get supplies into the hands of these healthcare providers.
Premier seized the opportunity by launching stockd, a transparent online marketplace for the healthcare industry. The platform has given Premier’s customers a convenient, trustworthy purchasing platform, and allowed Premier to address critical PPE shortages at a time when healthcare supply chains have struggled to meet demand.
At the Platform Pioneer Summit John Sganga, SVP of Alternate Site Systems at Premier, will share his perspective on what it takes to build successful digital purchasing channels for large scale procurement organizations – and offer an inside look at the challenges and opportunities Premier has faced as they scale the stockd platform.
ABB Electrification: Developing and scaling a global B2B marketplace strategy
ABB began 2020 with the launch of its first marketplace in Brazil – but that was only the beginning for this global technology manufacturer. In August, ABB announced the next phase of its global marketplace strategy, launching ABB Electrification India’s eMart marketplace. ABB eMart offers a streamlined one-stop-shop online for both home and industrial buyers, with features and functionality customized to meet the specific needs of B2B and B2C buyers.
Samer Shehadeh, Global eCommerce & Innovation Director at ABB Electrification, and CP Vyas, President of ABB India's Electrification Business will take the virtual stage at the Platform Pioneer Summit, together exploring the ins and outs of developing and implementing a global marketplace strategy to meet diverse needs in different regions.
Toyota Material Handling USA: Partnering with dealers to power an online spare parts marketplace
B2B buyers have fast-growing expectations for the digital buying experience, leaving manufacturers and distributors grappling with the same question: how do we leverage our shared talents to deliver the best online customer experience possible?
Toyota Material Handling’s solution was to introduce MyToyota Store, bringing its dealer network on board as exclusive sellers. Toyota customers gain access to a trusted online channel – the marketplace is the only place to buy Toyota-certified OEM parts – and dealers have a new online channel, without having to build new competencies in eCommerce.
Launched in early 2019, the MyToyota Store is now in its second year of operation, and Toyota is entering the next phase of the digitization challenge: scale. Steve Tadd, Director of Marketing and Information Technology, and Nick Ostergaard, Manager II, Digital at Toyota Material Handling will share their learnings since launch, the unexpected discoveries they’ve made so far, and the strategies that Toyota is exploring for the next phase of growth.

Bus passengers help combat anti-social behaviour
Hundreds of passengers have taken advantage of an anonymous information hotline to help police and transport chiefs combat anti-social behaviour aboard the region’s buses.
Safer Travel, a partnership between West Midlands Police, the Safer Birmingham Partnership, National Express West Midlands and Centro, launched See Something Say Something in October last year. In the 12 months following the launch, a total of 1,747 calls were logged through the scheme’s internet, text and phone reporting system.
The information from passengers has helped the Safer Travel Partnership stage a series of operations which have helped deter nuisance behaviour and led to a number of arrests.
Inspector Catherine Webb-Jones, who leads the Safer Travel police team, said: “It’s been very encouraging to see a growing number of passengers using See Something Say Something in order to play their part in fighting back against anti-social behaviour.
“The useful intelligence forwarded by these passengers has helped us stage a number of successful operations targeting specific areas.
“It’s been a case of “you said it, we did it” and we are very grateful to all those people who have used the reporting system.”
Crime on the region’s buses has been cut by 43 per cent over the last two years and with bus crime now at its lowest level for four years, the main concern for many passengers is combating nuisance behaviour.
Figures for the first 12 months show that smoking on the bus has been the biggest anti-social issue amongst passengers with graffiti and the playing of loud music also highlighted.
The information submitted through See Something Say Something has helped the Partnership build a picture of hotspots and take appropriate action.
Bus operator National Express West Midlands has carried out more than 100 anti-smoking covert operations in the first year which has resulted in 70 offenders being taken to court and fined.
The Safer Travel team has also followed up reported incidents by studying CCTV footage, launching regular patrols along hot spot routes and mounting undercover, plain clothes operations.
Under the See Something Say Something scheme, passengers can give details about incidents of anti-social behaviour by logging on to www.safertravel.info
Alternatively they can text 07624 818332 or simply phone West Midlands Police on 0845 113 5000.
If a passenger witnesses a crime they should phone 999 as usual.

Michigan State football’s offseason may be put on hold, but that doesn’t change the fact that there are some position battles to sort out.
Everything is put on hold, spring practices and the scrimmage have been cancelled and even recruiting has taken a backseat because of these unforeseen circumstances.
Michigan State is in an interesting situation with a brand new coaching staff and no commits in the 2021 recruiting class. It’s been a quiet time for Michigan State football, but things will get back to normal soon enough (as long as people continue to socially distance).
Mel Tucker has some decisions to make regarding his depth chart heading into next season. He has some key positions to fill out as battles will start to truly take shape this summer when teams get back to campus after one heck of a long break.
Will he have the depth necessary to create competition at these key positions or will the roster be too thinned out?
Let’s take a look at three of the most heated position battles taking shape that would have been topics of conversation this spring but will be pushed into the summer and early-fall months.

Friday July 13, 2018
A Somali woman from canton Neuchâtel has been sentenced to eight months’ prison over the genital mutilation of her two daughters, in the first Swiss case of its kind after a law change.The judgement was based on a relatively new article in Swiss law which aims to prevent Swiss-based families from having their daughters circumcised, whether in Switzerland or abroad.
The girls were six and a half and seven when the procedure was carried out between 2013-2015 in Somalia and Ethiopia.
The mother, who now lives in Neuchâtel in the French-speaking part of Switzerland, did not deny the charges. She was reported to the authorities by her estranged husband, who is also from Somalia.
“I do not take it upon myself to be able to change things. But perhaps this judgement will contribute to eliminating the suffering of millions of girls,” said Nathalie Kocherhans, the judge at the regional court in Boudry, on Thursday.
The fact that the woman did not live in Switzerland at the time of the genital mutilation was not a reason for acquittal, the judge added.
The court did however recognise that the Somali woman had been living in difficult circumstances. The woman, who is illiterate, has been under immense social pressure in her home country for the girls to undergo the procedure.
This is why the sentence is mainly of a symbolic nature, the judge explained. But given the gravity of the offence, a short prison sentence was still necessary, she said.


text: Hello! I'm Crystal from the scorching hot desert that is Arizona. I recently moved in with my boyfriend and his chickens. I'm so in love with them! It's been about a week so far. We have about 20 older chickens of various breeds (Jersey Giant, Silkies, Marans, Minorcas, D'Uccle, etc.), 25 four month old Silkies and 1 porcelain D'Uccle that thinks it's a Silkie, and recently 4 what I believe are Production Reds that are about a week old today. The baby Silkies have grown quite fond of me. I love being followed around by my little puff balls while I do my morning chores. They are such a joy! I grew up on a cattle ranch in Texas, although we didn't have chickens (my German Shepards would have eaten them!). I have two daughters that are looking forward to a little bit of country life. I love refurbishing furniture and painting! Everything looks better with a new coat of paint lol. Can't wait to build my first coop! Long post but I just get so excited talking about my new babies! PS- here is a pic of my fluffy butts. They are in need of a good bath soon lol.

Since the Winchester Community Center was inaugurated last summer, with funding from the Legacy Foundation of Southeast Arizona, and contributions from many partners, the community’s transformation has been remarkable. A fenced playground, a soccer field, a sturdy, bright blue building in the center of the neighborhood, have become a magnet and generator of civic and social activity. Once known for its lack of infrastructure and services, Winchester Heights now hosts a wide variety of activities at the new community center.
To learn more about the success of the Winchester Heights Community Center construction project, SEAHEC conducted a survey of Winchester Heights residents and community partners. We looked at how the facility has been used in its first year of operation. We looked at who is using the facility and what types of services and activities are available there. We also tried to determine the extent to which these services and activities were unavailable or difficult to access before the facility opened.
What We Learned
From our survey, SEAHEC found that the community center has made a significant improvement in the quality of life for Winchester Heights residents.
Access to a central location for community gatherings has been a “game changer” for residents, as one community partner described it. The level of engagement has surpassed our bravest hopes. Community residents have come together to continue the property’s development, adding a soccer field that is constantly in use, planting trees, a garden and raising funds to pay the bills. In addition, having access to the center for service delivery has made community outreach more efficient, convenient and cost-effective for agencies.
A Community Health Worker Driven Model for Rural Border Community Development
Since we launched Cochise County’s first farm-based community health worker team in 2013, the residents of Winchester Heights have made more progress in realizing their dream of a safe, healthy and prosperous community than they made in the previous 20 years. But the past two years have seen the most dramatic change. The community center is both critical infrastructure and an indelible symbol of hope for this community and others like it. Our strategy for rural health delivery is unique and scalable. Community health worker driven advocacy leverages public health issues to develop infrastructure needed to jump-start economic development in rural communities.

Early french couture copies
In 1948 a number of French designers sued for unfair competition and took steps to stop American manufacturers from copying their dress designs which were selling in American markets at extraordinarily low prices-and lacking in Parisienne French couture standards.
In the New York lawsuit, Wolfs & Greenbaum, Inc used the label names of Christian Dior, Pierre Balmain, Jacques Fath, Jeanne Landin, Molyneux and Jean Patou on its cotton manufactured dresses; selling them for $8.95.
The designers, members of the Chamber Syndicate de la Couture Parisienne, stated the company was able to make the copies by flying to Paris with a selection of American cotton goods and commissioned them to interpret the fabrics in their latest design ideas.
The manufacturer then produced a million copies of the dresses and sold them in 12,000 American stores, each dress carrying a replica of the French designer’s distinctive label.
W&G agreed to cease manufacturing the dresses, to remove the unauthorized labels from the existing stocks, and to never use the name of a French designer on any of its designs without written authorization.
New vogue sewing patterns
In 1956 Vogue Pattern Company made changes to its pattern construction. Beginning March 1 of that year, every new Vogue pattern design became “printed and Perforated”.
During that time, it was the only pattern containing both easy-to-follow features-that being “printed” and “perforated”.
Vogue called it a “blueprint to perfection”.
On each Vogue pattern was clearly marked with a pattern number, the number of pattern pieces, the pattern size and the outlines of the pattern were printed with long broken lines around the edges; making it easier to mark darts and seam lines.
Perforations (cut out of circles, squares and triangles) made pinning “tailor tacking” and adding chalk marks easier.
Each pattern piece was exactly the size that the fabric should be cut; eliminating the guesswork on how much to leave for “margins” (seam allowances).
A sewing guide with simplified, enlarged diagrams also pointed the right way to go and pattern included a sheet giving instructions on alterations, fabric preparation, cutting, marking, pressing, fitting and finishing tips.
Every new pattern envelope, with all these features bore a symbol with the legend “Vogues New Printed and Perfoated Pattern.
Early making of sewing patterns
Behind the scenes of old time pattern making.
Before the collection showing, the designer’s inspiration began with a fashion sketch of each design that would go in the line.
After the sketches, the designer made a miniature pattern of each design in muslin, fitting it on a half or quarter scale form.
After changes were made on the scale a full-size muslin copy was made.
Each pattern piece was checked against the pattern “staple,” one of a series of heavily glazed paper pattern parts, to ensure absolute accuracy.
The muslin was then made up in every version shown on the pattern envelope, for example, with short sleeves, long sleeve, full skirt, circle skirt and ect.
The muslin was then fitted on a live model to check ease and movement. After any and all adjustments were mad and the muslin re-fitted on a model (as often as necessary to achieve perfection), the designer okayed the muslin….

Self-control is not discussed much when it comes to teaching children life skills but learning proper self-control allows children to grow up to be adults who know how to regulate themselves emotionally in a healthy way. When children don’t learn self-control, it can lead to problems in adulthood, such as risk-taking behaviours.
Children can be taught self-control in several ways, most of which focus on teaching emotional regulation and rewarding positive behavior that displays self-control. Children can also learn to improve their self-control or self-disciple through games that focus on self-control, attention, and memory skills.
Teaching self-control doesn’t just involve teaching a child tools for learning how to direct their behavior—it also involves giving them the tools to control their emotions. Keep reading to learn more about how to teach your child self-control.
Environmental Control Reinforces Self-Control
When it comes to teaching self-disciple to younger children, it’s important to remember that toddlers have a much more rudimentary sense of self-control than older children. Children don’t begin to develop a sense of self-control and what it means until they are around three and a half to four and a half years old. (Source: Zero to Three)
Because it’s hard for children younger than this age range to control their impulses and emotions, it’s much easier for everyone involved if parents make some efforts to reduce environmental stimuli, which can trigger lapses in self-control.
4 Environmental Control Strategies that Reinforce Self-Control:
1. Laying out options for clothing.
Toddlers often want to make decisions for themselves and fight for their independence but may need help to avoid becoming overwhelmed. Giving toddlers two outfits to choose between, for example, can help you avoid tantrums over getting dressed. If the child is given some degree of control, this makes the action a positive one.
2. Keeping candy and junk food out of the house.
You won’t find yourself arguing over whether your child can have a piece of candy or not—and you won’t have to deal with the subsequent meltdown—if you don’t bring those kinds of things into the house. Leaving children with a healthy variety of snacks instead can keep them from making poor choices when they aren’t old enough to have the self-disciple to think through their choices yet.
3. Limiting screen time.
As people of all ages have shown, without self-control, hours can be lost in front of a television or smart device such as an iPad. Screen time is fine, but limits should be put into place and consistently reinforced to teach children to limit their time spent watching a screen during the day.
4. Knowing your child’s triggers.
As you spend more time around your toddler, you will quickly learn what scenarios can cause your child to lose self-control. Some children may be prone to throwing tantrums when they’re tired or overstimulated; others might have a meltdown if they feel they have been unjustly corrected over something. Knowing triggers can help you avoid them.
Until toddlers get old enough to have a conversation about good choices and practicing self-control, keeping temptations out of sight and out of mind can help you avoid a lot of unnecessary breakdowns in self-control.

Reward and Praise Examples of Self-Control
Once children are old enough to practice self-control and you can discuss it with them, it’s time to start rewarding and praising self-control. Children will often surprise you with their generosity or insight into what’s best for them (for example, children who put themselves to bed when they’re tired). Whenever this kind of behavior crops up, it should be heavily praised and rewarded when possible.
By rewarding and praising actions that display self-disciple, you are not only encouraging your children to repeat these actions in the future; you’re also teaching them to consider their actions ahead of time in terms of short-term versus long-term rewards.
Here are some actions that a child might display that would serve as an example of self-control:
- Voluntarily sharing a toy
- Accepting a punishment without a fuss
- Going to bed without being told twice
- Performing tasks such as brushing their teeth or making their bed without being asked
By consistently rewarding and praising examples of self-disciple, parents can establish an environment where self-control is a value. (Source: Ministry of Education Guyana) It can help to teach a child’s self discipline and temperance as they grow older and enter adolescence.
It is important that physical rewards are not always used to reward self-control; otherwise, this teaches the child that they will always receive something for doing what they should already be doing, to begin with. Instead, alternate between offering praise and small rewards so that self-control becomes a reward in and of itself.
Encourage Games That Practice Self-Control
A fun way to encourage self-disciple in younger children is to teach children games that help them practice self-control. Here are a few examples of games that can help children learn to control themselves (Source: Your Therapy Source):
- Simon Says: Simon Says is a classic children’s game where one child (or adult) orders a group of children to perform simple commands, such as stand on one foot or rub their stomach. The caveat is that children must listen for the person in charge (Simon) to say the phrase “Simon Says” as part of their command. If they move without hearing the correct command, they’re out of the game.
- Red Light Green Light: Red Light Green Light is another fun children’s game where the person who is it alternates between saying “red light” and “green light.” The object of the game is to touch the person who is it without being called out. Players are disqualified for moving if the person who is it says, “red light,” and can only move after being told “green light.”
- Jenga: Jenga is a game of balance and patience and teaches children to carefully move wooden blocks out of the towering stack without knocking it over. Jenga is a good game for teaching both emotional regulation and physical self-control. It can teach children how to move carefully and be aware of their effect on objects in their environment.
These games and games like them can teach children self-control without them even realizing that they’re learning anything!
Make Sure That Children Get Easy Transitions to Reinforce Self-Control
One way to get better at teaching children self-control is to be aware of what periods during the day children are most likely to lose their self-control. Here are a few reasons that children lose self-control or the ability to regulate emotionally:
- Hunger (either in the morning before breakfast or in the afternoon before lunch or supper)
- The transition from sleeping to getting ready for school
- Exposure to overwhelming sensory stimuli such as loud noises, bright lights, or strong smells
- Exhaustion from a long day, a strenuous social activity, or activities on vacation
- Separation from an object that is known for triggering strong emotions, such as a comfort object
Sometimes it is the suddenness of having to transition from one activity to another that sets a child off, and sometimes it is physical discomfort such as hunger or thirst. Remember that children may not even realize that they’re hungry until they’re so irritable they’re having a tantrum over nothing. Reinforcing self-control in small children is a lot easier when you’re aware of what things may set them off.
Here are a few other ways you can make transitions easier on children and help reinforce their self-control (Source: The Chaos and the Clutter):
- Use large visual schedules such as calendars and to-do lists. It is easier for children to accept the transition into a new activity when given a visual cue that helps them remember that the new activity will be coming up. Keeping children on a steady routine also helps reinforce their sense of security and makes them less likely to act out during transitions.
- Leave plenty of time for transitioning. That means not waiting until the last minute to herd kids into the car for school or packing activities so close together that you can barely catch a breath from one to the next. This can cause children to become stressed and agitated. Streamline your routine by doing things like laying out clothes the night before so that transition periods like mornings before school are less chaotic. To teach self-control, you need to practice it, too.
Transitions can be one of the most trying times when breaking down a child’s self-control, so making these periods easier on children is a good way to prevent them from being exposed to triggers that strain their self-control when it isn’t fully developed yet.
Motivate Children to Develop Self-Control
When teaching children self-control, it’s important to keep the experience as motivating and positive as you can. Criticising children when they do the wrong thing doesn’t help children to control themselves, and it can cause even more emotional dysregulation that leads to worse self-control issues in adolescence and adulthood.
Instead, parents should focus on ways to motivate children to develop self-control.
Here are a few techniques you can try (Source: Very Well Parents):
- Turn routines into positive habits. The reason that routines, consistency, and structure are always encouraged in parenting classes is that these are the building blocks of positive habits. Children taught from an early age to make their bed will often carry the habit forward with them for the rest of their life. Likewise, children that are taught water is a drink for meals, and Coca-Cola is only a treat may have more success regulating their diets as adults.
- Make sure children understand the reason behind the rules. Nothing is more infuriating to a child than “because I said so” (or an adult, for that matter). And the reason is clear—it’s a condescending answer. Instead, take the time to gently explain the reasons behind the rules you set in the house. This can make them make much more sense to your child.
- Take baby steps when teaching self-control. It’s a good idea to get children into a consistent morning routine, but there’s no need to be a tyrant about it. Instead of getting your child to perform their routine perfectly without being reminded, focus on making sure they do one thing consistently each day, such as brushing their teeth. As they master that task, you can slowly build on the habit until a full routine is established.
- Teach children to be patient. As parents I know, we’re always in a hurry, and I know it can be difficult to teach patience when the opportunity doesn’t present itself naturally. But even using phrases like “we’ll get there when we get there” or “it won’t be long now” are helpful in increasing your child’s consciousness around being patient.
- Make self-control fun. Self-control can be difficult for children to manage, but it doesn’t need to be strictly hard work. Fun activities like baking with your kids or just spending time together can also serve as a good reminder to children that self-control is important.
- Leave opportunities for kids to exercise their own judgment. Letting your child have some say about what happens in your house teaches them how to think critically, make decisions, and use self-control without getting upset or out of control.
A little patience goes a long way in keeping children motivated to practice self-control. Remember not to tackle too much at once, and don’t be too hard on kids if they have an occasional lapse in judgment or self-control. Keep in mind that they’re still actively learning the skill and should be expected to drop the ball every once in a while.
Work with Children on Attention and Memory to Improve Self-Control
Self-control, attention, and mental flexibility are all interrelated aspects of executive function. When children are young, their skills in executive function are still developing. The good news is that by developing focus and memory skills, you also reinforce the same parts of the brain that regulate self-control.
Here are ways to improve a child’s ability to pay attention (Source: Edutopia):
- Make sure that any lessons are broken up into small, easily digestible chunks. The younger the child, the shorter the lesson should be.
- Ensure any activity that takes a high degree of focus is balanced out with frequent breaks for physical activity. When children appear to grow wriggly and lose focus, it’s usually a good sign you need to take five and regroup.
- Make sure visual distractions are reduced to a minimum. This can include sensory distractions, such as music or ambient noises.
A child’s memory can be improved through deduction games and flashcards. Many games depend on a child’s memory, such as I-Spy or clapping games.
Once children are a little older, another activity that can greatly increase their ability to self-regulate their emotions, focus, and mental clarity is mindfulness meditation. While you might think of meditation as an adult activity, meditation can provide positive mental and emotional health benefits for all ages.
Meditation will increase a child’s self-control
Meditation is a fantastic way for children to improve their self-control. But should be done in short intervals to keep kids from becoming bored. Teaching children to slow down and pay attention to their breath can help them learn self-regulation and emotional regulation.
It can also make them less anxious and calmer in general. Children may also benefit from yoga, which incorporates stretching and engaging exercise with meditation. It is always best to do meditation and mindfulness activities with your child rather than getting them to complete the activity alone.
There are many ways to meditate with your child, including breathing meditation exercises and visualization exercises.
Teach Children to Plan for Self-Control
Teaching self-control with younger children often means planning out the child’s itinerary and teaching them how to follow it. But with older children, it’s important to teach them to plan, for a few reasons:
- Teaching a child to plan teaches foresight. Using foresight prevents a person from giving into short-term impulses that sabotage long-term goals. It also teaches children proactive problem solving by teaching them to identify things they’ll have to act on in the future.
- Teaching a child to plan helps reinforce a daily routine. Following a daily routine helps reinforce self-control and self discipline behavior. It also gives children a much-needed sense of security. In a chaotic world, it’s always nice to know what the rules are.
- Teaching a child to plan gives them useful life skills for the future. People who are planners tend to be more successful than aimless people, so encouraging your child to plan early on can help them approach obstacles in life more effectively.
- Teaching a child to plan teaches them to strategise, translating to more effective work in reading, math, writing, and even science. In essence, planning is a slowed-down version of problem-solving and is a good way to train the brain to tackle obstacles positively.
Children can be taught to plan in similar ways to adults. A daily planner is one way for children to start thinking ahead to their responsibilities for the following day. For example, children who understand that they have to get up early for an activity may be more likely to go to bed without a fuss if they already have the activity planned.
As with adults, planning activities are best done in the evening when the child is relaxed and other chores have already been completed. A daily review of the planner is a good activity for after dinner or right before bed. You can also set aside time with a child once or twice a week to discuss larger activity goals or get a sense of how they are doing with their schedule.
This might seem pretty regimented for a child, but you’d be surprised how much enjoyment and security children can get from knowing ahead of time what will happen next. Controllable situations help kids learn self control. This is also very good for their sense of self-control and self-discipline, too. Goal setting has been shown by psychologists to be a major factor in developing self-control. (Source: Psychology Today)
The Key to Self-Control in Children is Emotional Regulation
One of the biggest issues in developing self-control in children is that their self-control is intricately linked to their emotional regulation. Emotional regulation is the child’s ability to both identify and positively process their emotions. Here are signs in children that their emotional regulation is still developing:
- Tantrums: Tantrums (when a child is overwhelmed by negative emotions and begins crying inconsolably or screaming in anger) is when a child’s emotions completely take over their sense of rational thought. Most childhood tantrums pass in a matter of minutes, but tantrums lack emotional regulation.
- Crying for no reason: Children are prone to burst into tears for little or no reason. This is usually the result of them being unable to articulate their emotions on a particular subject. While frequent crying for no reason is a sign of concern, an occasional irrational bout of tears is normal for both children and adults.
- No filter: Many young children may not have a good filter between their brain and their mouth, and this can lead to their emotions driving them to say inappropriate things (such as saying they don’t like a gift and pouting over it rather than simply thanking the gift-giver and accepting it). Children must be taught to regulate their own emotions. They should also be taught to consider others’ emotions and put themselves in another person’s place and feelings.
- Physical violence: Hitting other children, biting, or throwing things may seem like extreme actions in a child, but they’re pretty commonplace in certain age groups (especially toddlers) because these children haven’t developed the emotional regulation yet to handle their negative emotions in less impulsive ways. Let’s explore a poor self control example: a child who has developed proper emotional regulation will tell an adult about a conflict rather than strike another child.
While the above issues might seem stressful and may make some parents worry about their child’s emotional development, there is no reason to be fearful. For many children, these bouts of intense emotion are just a part of calibrating their emotional regulation but parents can view this as poor self control. They will taper off as the children grow older and gain more self-regulation just through their neurological development.
To help them along, here are a few ways that adults can reinforce children in their development of emotional control (Source: Parent with Confidence):
- Act as a good role model for emotional regulation. If your child grows up seeing you fly off the handle with road rage in the car or talk down to cashiers left and right at the store, they will not learn to develop limits (or tact) in negative emotional expression. In other words, if you want to teach your children not to have tantrums, you’re going to have to work on your own.
- Help children become aware of their triggers, stress, and emotions. It can be more difficult for some children than others to identify what emotion they’re feeling at any given time. Teaching children to slow down and pay attention to their emotions can help prevent them from becoming overwhelmed, reducing impulsive behavior that lacks self regulation skills.
- Teach children to put themselves in time out. If a child is in an emotionally triggering situation, a time out can be a good idea not as a punishment but as a way for the child to gain some distance from the situation that is bothering them. Teaching children to walk away from conflict and collect themselves is a useful tool that can follow them into adulthood.
- Teach children that occasionally becoming emotionally overwhelmed is normal. Rather than shaming children for tantrums or harshly punishing them, talk to children when they’ve calmed down, explore the reasons behind their tantrums, explain why tantrums happen and how a child can help to calm themselves when they feel their emotions welling up and overwhelming their common sense.
- Teach children about emotional regulation. There are plenty of great kid-friendly videos and resources available that help explain to children what emotional regulation is and how to practice self regulation skills with their urges and emotions in a fun way. Here is a list of resources you can use, including worksheets and videos.
- Figure out ways for children to cope with becoming emotionally overwhelmed. Some children may do best if allowed to brood alone after becoming upset, while others prefer to throw themselves into a new activity to “shift gears” in their brains. Drinking a glass of water can also help act as a trigger to emotionally deescalate.
- Encourage children to journal their feelings, especially when upset. Encouraging children in the activity of journaling can help train them on how to identify their own emotions. In the process of discovering why they’re upset, many children (and adults) can emotionally wind down and gain detachment from the upsetting situation.
- Be patient as children learn self-control and emotional regulation. It’s easy to expect too much out of children when they’re emotionally overwhelmed, especially if they have a tantrum in public. But understanding that children have limited control over emotional surges on a neurological level can help parents be more empathetic in coping with tantrums.
Teaching children to think ahead helps reduce impulsivity in children, which can reinforce a sense of self-direction and composure. Reinforcing this kind of calm behavior early on in childhood development can lead to a much happier and steadfast adult in the future and helps kids learn self control.
Self-Control Is an Important Trait for Children to Learn
Teaching self-regulation skills to children makes them easier to handle and more pleasant to be around. It is also a crucial part of their formative development. Successfully teaching children self-regulation skills and emotional regulation in childhood can lead to much higher emotional security and mental fortitude in the child when they transition into adolescence and adulthood.
By teaching foresight, emotional regulation, and positive self-control coping mechanisms to your child when they’re young, you can help them resist temptations such as risky or other impulsive behavior when they’re older. This could save them from making a reactive decision that could damage their reputation or even risk their lives.
