LGBT ‘Conversion Therapy’ Reduces, Not Increases, Suicide Risk: Study
In a finding that turns conventional wisdom on its head, a researcher has found that so-called “conversion therapy” aimed at reducing unwanted homosexual or lesbian attraction makes people less likely to consider suicide than those who continue to live the unbridled LGBTQ lifestyle.
Although transgender activists have linked conversion therapy — which its advocates prefer to call “change-allowing talk therapy,” or “Sexual Orientation Change Efforts” (SOCE) — the studies have gotten the results backwards, because they counted suicide attempts or suicidal ideation patients had before receiving conversion therapy care.
“‘Conversion’ therapy actually reduces gay suicide,” said Rev. Dr. Paul Sullins, a Roman Catholic priest and former professor of sociology, at a press conference attended by The Washington Stand. Those who claim “conversion therapy” increased the likelihood of suicide “made the fundamental error of attributing an effect to a cause that happened before the event,” he said. “We’ve known since Aristotle that causes have to precede effects.”
“The problem with their study is that most of the suicide morbidity that the participants expressed happened before they went” through change-allowing talk therapy. Nearly two out of three people who experienced suicidal ideation and half of those who had planned, intended, or attempted suicide did so before receiving therapy aimed at reducing unwanted same-sex attraction, Sullins’s research found.
“By their backwards logic, lung cancer could cause habitual smoking,” Sullins wrote. “Imagine a study that found … most people using anti-depressant drugs also suffered depression and breathlessly argued we should ban anti-depressants, because people who are exposed to them have more depression. That kind of study would have the same kind of backwards logic” as studies that “attempt to show us the harm” of conversion therapy.
Researchers worked with the same survey that asked whether LGBTQ-identifying people who received conversion therapy care ever thought about committing suicide, made a plan to take their own lives, intended to carry it out, or actually attempted to commit suicide. But the professor and cleric corrected previous studies by taking into account post-SOCE survey respondents’ answer to one question: “About how old were you the last time you received treatment to change your sexual orientation?” By correlating their answer to the age of their suicidal depression, he could eliminate cases that predated the LGBTQ-identifying person’s experience with SOCE.
After controlling for pre-existing suicidal ideation, Sullins found:
- Before therapy, 36% of all people who had experienced suicidal ideation attempted suicide — but only 10% of those who had been through therapy;
- 43% of those who had made a suicide plan subsequently attempted suicide, compared with 10% of post-conversion therapy patients;
- 57% of those who intended to commit suicide attempted to take their own lives, compared to 12% of so-called conversion therapy patients; and
- 37% of those who had previously attempted suicide tried again, compared to 27% of those who had been through “conversion therapy.”
He later looked at the American Psychological Association and U.K.’s Government Equalities Office studies on the same topic and “found that all of them … had made the exact same mistake, or misbehavior.”
A separate researcher — Dr. Christopher Rosik, a clinical psychologist at Fresno Pacific University — reviewed all studies on the topic since 2009 and found none of the studies separated preexisting suicidal behavior from post-SOCE behavior.
The researchers also identified a second way studies skewed results against conversion therapy care: Dr. Rosik found nearly none of the studies included people who no longer identify as LGBTQ. “If you have a therapeutic effort … to change sexual orientation, and you only sample persons who have been through that effort who currently identify as LGBT, you’re systematically excluding from the sample anyone for whom that therapy may have been successful,” said Rev. Sullins.
Yet previous studies — and numerous stories, many later found to be invented — led 27 states to ban “conversion therapy” care/SOCE efforts. Among those who claimed to have experienced torture in the name of SOCE was Sam Brinton, who until recently worked for the Biden administration.
“Sam Brinton — a nonbinary, cross-dressing thief and liar — has ruined the lives of countless people,” said Dr. Jennifer Roback Morse, the president and founder of the Ruth Institute, which hosted the press conference. “He claimed that he was subjected to psychological and physical torture to overcome his homosexual tendencies” in testimony before the United Nations Committee Against Torture (CAT) in 2014.
“A specific ban on talk therapy would be unnecessary. Physical torture is already illegal,” said Dr. Morse. “Banning client-chosen, client-directed counseling is cruel.”
Some states banned the practice by claiming it is ineffective. Despite widespread belief that sexual preference is inborn, such secular and pro-LGBTQ groups as the American Psychological Association state there is no consensus on what factors influence sexual attraction. Studies show those molested more likely to identify as gay or lesbian.
The American Psychological Association’s “Handbook of Sexuality and Psychology” noted “research on sexual minorities has long documented that many recall having undergone notable shifts in their patterns of sexual attractions, behaviors, or identities over time.” The Ruth Institute points to numerous cases of people no longer feeling controlled by unwanted feelings of same-sex attraction, including Charlene Cothran, Paul Darrow, Elizabeth Woning, and Hudson Byblow.
The U.S. Supreme Court this month declined to hear a case brought by a licensed therapist that Washington state’s ban on so-called “conversion therapy” violates the First Amendment. The free speech case, brought by the Alliance Defending Freedom, had the support of 12 states and Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, and Brett Kavanaugh, who would have granted the petition but lacked a necessary fourth vote.
Others claimed SOCE/conversion therapy care proves too effective. These therapeutic practices “seek to eradicate same-sex sexual orientations and promote heterosexual orientations. This is already in and of itself a violation of both sexual rights and human rights,” wrote Jenna Marie Strizzi and Ezio Di Nucci. “The potential for these conclusions drawn by Sullins to be used nefariously in political and legislative debates can put sexual minority individuals in real danger if legislation allowing for these harmful practices is implemented or just debated.” (Emphasis added.)
“This is exactly how a dark curtain falls on the formerly bright light of science,” Sullins replied.
Whatever the facts, there is clearly widespread dissatisfaction with the LGBT lifestyle. The data fueling both studies found that 10% of people who identify as LGBTQ agreed with the statement, “If someone offered me the chance to be completely heterosexual, I would accept the chance.”
The Biden administration has linked LGBTQ-identification, and behavior, with poor mental health. “LGBQ+ students, and students who had any same-sex partners were more likely than their peers to experience poor mental health and suicidal thoughts and behaviors,” said a report released by the Biden administration’s Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in February.

Summit will reveal strengths of 'Community Wealth Building'
This article details some of the community wealth building work being done in Poughkeepsie, New York to democratize ownership and urge anchor institutions to source locally. Specifically, an event will convene some of the leaders of this movement:
The event will bring together over 150 representatives from regional and local organizations to discuss how other cities across the country have implemented collaborations among hospitals, colleges and local businesses. This model, known as community wealth-building, pulls together local talents, capacities and institutions to rebuild capital by creating and strengthening locally-owned family and community businesses.
Take for example, the Democracy Collaborative, an organization based in Cleveland, Ohio that recognized an opportunity for job creation after taking inventory of hospital spending patterns. Area hospitals were shipping laundry away to be washed. The result? A local industrial laundromat, co-owned by workers who earn a living wage… Read full article.

Three Humber region councils are to be given a share of an extra £9m being made available to ensure local areas and major ports are ready for Brexit, Local Government Secretary Robert Jenrick said this morning.
Hull City, East Riding of Yorkshire, and North East Lincolnshire are amongst almost 30 councils to share in £5m for having major air, land or sea ports, to ensure they will continue to operate efficiently when the UK leaves the EU on 31st October.
The remaining £4m will be shared out to local resilience forums , partnerships made up of representatives from local public services, across England to support them in their preparations.
The funding can be used by local areas to support the development of robust Brexit plans for their areas and for continued preparedness activities, including additional staffing costs.
The extra funding follows a £20m boost for councils announced in August to ramp-up preparations for leaving the EU by appointing a designated Brexit lead.
This brings the total funding allocated by the government to help local areas prepare for Brexit to £77m to date.
Mr Jenrick said: “From keeping our supply chains running and ensuring goods continue to flow into the country, to putting robust plans in place for every community, local government is playing a vital role in preparing the country to be fully ready to leave the EU.
“We have stepped up our preparedness significantly in recent weeks, including by asking every council to appoint a Brexit Lead Officer. Now we are releasing an additional £9 million of additional funding today to help local areas get ready for Brexit, whatever the circumstances.”

Pozyx CIR and range with LOS and NLOS
This dataset includes UWB range measurements performed with Pozyx devices. The measurements were collected between two tags placed at several distances and in two different conditions: with Line of Sight (LOS) and Non-Line of Sight (NLOS). The measurements include the range estimated by the Pozyx tag, the actual distance between devices, the timestamp of each measurement and the values corresponding to the samples of the Channel Impulse Response (CIR) after each transmission.
Dataset contains two zip files. One contains the raw rosbag records and the second one includes two matlab files (one for the LOS scenario, other for the NLOS) that include the final data once the actual distance is added and the CIR measurements are processed.
Rosbag files contain messages of type PozyxRangingWithCir. This type of message can be found in the next repository: https://github.com/valentinbarral/rosmsgs
Each of the matlab files contains an array of structs. Each struct has these fields:
- range: Pozyx estimation of distance.
- distance: Current distance between devices.
- rss: Estimation of received power.
- seq: A ranging sequence number, between 0 and 255.
- timestamp: Timestamp of the measure.

- Congress legislators from Bihar say ally Lalu Yadav is liability
- Rahul Gandhi hears them out, says alliance will continue
- Congress in Bihar precariously close to split
Mr Gandhi over the last two days has met with about 22 of the Congress party's 27 lawmakers from Bihar. They warned him that a squadron of corruption cases against Lalu Yadav make him a liability for the Congress at a time when its greatly diminished stature cannot afford more drawbacks. The legislators or MLAs also said that Lalu Yadav is no longer a reliable draw for non-Yadav backward castes, key to winning Bihar, and that his famous M-Y (Muslim-Yadav) combine has waned considerably.
Ajit Sharma, a legislator from Bhagalpur, told Rahul Gandhi, "We are doomed if we go with a scam-tainted Lalu Yadav as he goes to jail as we visit temples to prove our piety. Because of his (Lalu's) corruption cases, we lost the government in Bihar."
Nitish Kumar blamed a corruption case naming Lalu Yadav and his sons for blowing up of the Maha-Gathbandhan (his alliance with the Yadav family and the Congress). Congress chief Sonia Gandhi has publicly agreed with Lalu Yadav's assertion of innocence and his allegation that corruption cases are being used by Prime Minister Narendra Modi to frame opposition leaders. But as counselled by Congress leaders from Bihar, the Gandhis dodged a large rally called last month in Patna by Lalu Yadav. They had been alerted that sharing a stage with the 71 year-old Bihar leader would be too close for comfort.
Lalu Yadav has been among Sonia Gandhi's oldest and most reliable allies and they together formed a multi-party front to take on the BJP in 2019. But his relationship with her son has often been fringed with tension. In 2013, it was Rahul Gandhi who dramatically tore up an executive order that aimed to circumvent a Supreme Court ruling that called for convicted politicians to give up public office immediately. The order, cleared by the cabinet of the Congress-led national government, would have allowed Lalu Yadav to remain a member of parliament and run for election.
Ashok Choudhary told NDTV.com yesterday that even if he is removed as Bihar President, "I will remain loyal to Rahul-ji, to the Congress." The 18 legislators who back him say that if he ambles over to another party, they will not hesitate to follow. They are left with no choice but to assume that the Gandhis are ok with that.

Obesity is a medical condition of excess body fat accumulated overtime, while overweight is a condition of excess body weight relatively to the height. According to the Body Mass Index(BMI), a BMI between 25 to 29.9 is considered over weight, while a BMI of over 30 is an indication of obesity. According to the statistic, 68% of American population are either overweight or obese.
You can calculate your BMI index BMI= weight (kg)/ height (m2)
The association of obesity with Sleep Disorder
1. In the study of "Sleep apnea: a proinflammatory disorder that coaggregates with obesity" by Mehra R, Redline S., posted in PubMed, researchers found that this article elucidates mechanistic associations among obesity, sleep apnea, and systemic inflammation; highlights interrelationships between these factors with cardiopulmonary disease; and identifies specific areas for future research directions.
2. According to the abstract of the study of "Postoperative considerations for patients with obesity and sleep apnea" by Bell RL, Rosenbaum SH., posted inPubMed, researchers stated that p apnea and obesity are prevalent and often coexisting conditions that challenge medical, anesthetic, and surgical treatment. It is essential to possess knowledge of the magnitude of the sleep disorder as well as concomitant medical comorbidities. Management of obese patients requires a thorough preoperative evaluation and appraisal of anesthetic and operative risks. Postoperatively, these patients can present an additional challenge.
3. In a study of "Obstructive sleep apnea in the adult obese patient: implications for airway management" by Benumof JL., posted in PubMed, researchers found that Obstructive sleep apnea in the adult obese patient may be due, in part, to an increased amount of pharyngeal tissue. Therefore, there is an increased risk of intubation and extubation difficulties and pain management can be expected to be complicated by opioid/sedative-induced pharyngeal collapse.
4. In the abstract of the study of "The relationship between obesity and craniofacial structure in obstructive sleep apnea" by Ferguson KA, Ono T, Lowe AA, Ryan CF, Fleetham JA., posted in PubMed, researchers that there is a spectrum of upper airway soft-tissue and craniofacial abnormalities among OSA patients: obese patients with increased upper airway soft-tissue structures, nonobese patients with abnormal craniofacial structure, and an intermediate group of patients with abnormalities in both craniofacial structure and upper airway soft-tissue structures.
5. According to the study of "Cephalometric abnormalities in non-obese and obese patients with obstructive sleep apnoea" by Sakakibara H, Tong M, Matsushita K, Hirata M, Konishi Y, Suetsugu S., posted in PubMed, researchers indicated that Japanese obstructive sleep apnoea patients have a series of cephalometric abnormalities similar to those described in Caucasian patients, and that the aetiology of obstructive sleep apnoea in obese patients may be different from that in non-obese patients. In obese patients, upper airway soft tissue enlargement may play a more important role in the development of obstructivesleep apnoea, whereas in non-obese patients, bony structure discrepancies may be the dominant contributing factors for obstructive sleep apnoea.
6. In a study of "Dentofacial characteristics as indicator of obstructive sleepapnoea-hypopnoea syndrome in patients with severe obesity" by Maciel Santos ME, Laureano Filho JR, Campos JM, Ferraz EM., posted in PubMed, researchers found that the most prevalent modified Mallampati index score was between 3 and 4, while grade 1 was the most prevalent tonsillar hypertrophy index score (46%). Cephalometry revealed angular and linear measurements with normally acceptable values for the hard tissues. Obese patients seem to have a normal craniofacial structure and the risk of developing OSAHS is especially related to obesity.
Treatments of Obesity induced Sleep Disorder
1. According to the study of "Quantification of sleep behavior and of its impact on the cross-talk between the brain and peripheral metabolism" by Hanlon EC, Van Cauter E., posted in PubMed, researchers indicated that... Simultaneously, average sleep times have progressively decreased. Recently, evidence from both laboratory and epidemiologic studies has suggested that insufficient sleep may stimulate overeating and thus play a role in the currentepidemic of obesity and diabetes,.... The findings provide evidence that sleeprestriction does indeed impair glucose metabolism and alters the cross-talk between the periphery and the brain, favoring excessive food intake. A better understanding of the adverse effects of sleep restriction on the CNS control of hunger and appetite may have important implications for public health.
2. In a study of "Sleep apnea and obesity" by Yu JC, Berger P 3rd., posted inPubMed, researchers wrote that Perhaps, the strongest observational evidence to support a link between sleep apnea and obesity is the similarity in age distribution of symptomatic sleep apnea and metabolic syndrome. The putative causal links between sleep apnea and each individual component of the metabolic syndrome have been extensively evaluated and have implicated bidirectional causality in certain metabolic conditions, such as obesity and sleep apnea, sleep apnea and diabetes mellitus, and obesity and diabetes mellitus. These studies collectively suggest that even modest weight loss improves OSA, and positively affects both metabolic and cardiovascular risk profiles.
3. in the abstract of the study of "Pharmacological treatment of obstructivesleep apnea", by Abad VC, Guilleminault C., posted in PubMed, researchers wrote that Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a growing public health hazard fueled by the obesity epidemic and an aging population. Untreated sleep apnea can result in significant consequences both in the short-term and long-term. We need to educate the public to recognize the symptoms of sleep apnea and to publicize that effective treatments are available. Positive airway pressure therapy remains the gold standard currently in treating OSA. Alternative treatments include an oral appliance or surgical options. This paper discusses the pharmacologic treatment of sleep apnea: goals include medications to address the ventilatory control of breathing, treat co-morbid diseases, treat associated health problems/complaints, address special issues, such as anesthetic precautions, and propose future targets.

Homeopathy and Minerals
In order to understand the central theme of the Phosphoricums, it is best to start with Phosphorus itself. Vithoulkas (1991c, page 155) calls the essence of Phosphorus 'diffusion'. The boundaries of Phosphorus are so vague that anything can go in or out, virtually without restriction. Hence the open character of Phosphorus, the sympathetic disposition.
The concept 'communication' is very applicable to Phosphorus and the Phosphoricums. The communication channels in Phosphorus are so strong and open that he doesn’t know which are his own thoughts and feelings, and which are those of the other person. The essence is the exchange of thoughts and feelings.
They have a strong desire for company. They want to talk and exchange ideas. They usually talk a lot and very openly, they communicate freely about the thoughts that live inside them. But they don’t hold monologues, like Lachesis, they are not loquacious as such. At a later stage the company might also become too much for them. That is when they develop an aversion to company and conversation. They might become completely indifferent, even to their family.
Because of the open communication, Phosphorus is very sympathetic. They quickly take on other people's thoughts and feelings. It is as if they resonate with other people, who appreciate this acknowledgement of their own feelings. The sympathy of Phosphorus does not necessarily last very long. As soon as they meet someone else their sympathy will turn to that person.
We see the same phenomenon with their fears. They are easily frightened of any disease they happen to hear about. It is as if they take over the complaints as soon as they read or hear about them. They get afraid that they might have the same disease. But they are just as easily reassured again. If the doctor sets their mind at ease that these complaints are not serious they accept his reassurance and their complaints disappear. But as soon as they hear about another disease, this reassurance can disappear again as quickly as it came.
Phosphorus is also listed in the repertory as sympathetic.
Friends, acquaintances, neighbours, brothers
Phosphorus and the Phosphoricums have a problem with respect to friends, acquaintances and relations. They have many friends and consider someone to be a friend even when they have only just met them. The classic picture of Phosphorus, for instance, is the patient whom you feel you know so well after the first consultation that you would like him to be your friend. Brothers and sisters are in the same category. It is easy to feel relaxed in their company, communication flows naturally with them.
Phos has homesickness as a typical symptom. It is a keynote for Phos-ac. But the other Phosphoricums suffer from it too. In Calcium phosphoricum and Phosphorus it is already known. I have also met it in Ferr-p and Kali-p. The homesickness stems from a loss of contact. They miss the usual contact with neighbours and friends, so they feel homesick.
Love disappointments are also felt in a similar way: the most important aspect is that they miss the contact. Passion plays a much smaller part.
Language and learning
Another aspect of communication is the use of language, in all its facets, such as talking and listening, reading and writing. Connected to this is the aspect of thinking and learning. Thinking and learning is done for a large part through language. The Phosphoricums usually like talking, much and often.
We often see problems at school with the Phosphoricums. The headache of school-children is well known in Calcium phosphoricum and Phos-ac. Kali-p has exhaustion from too much study. Mag-p can get very sleepy from studying. Mental exertion can become a big problem. They can become completely exhausted and confused from studying. Eventually they might become apathetic and dazed, even have blackouts.
These learning problems might occur especially during puberty. In addition to their studies the growth of their bones also takes a lot of energy.
Curiosity and travel
Connected to learning we also see curiosity. They display a great desire to expe-rience new things, to explore and discover. They need variety, and travel fulfils this need. When travelling one can continuously experience a variety of surroun-dings, culture and people. and all these people provide an opportunity for new contacts. Their interest goes out to new cultures and their general knowledge can be of a high and refined standard. The other side of the coin is that they are quickly bored if there is no promise of new and interesting events.
Restlessness and fears
Another characteristic is the nervousness and restlessness. This is also expressed in the travelling. The continual need for new things brings with it a general dissa-tisfaction with the ordinary. They restlessly search for new things, new contacts and discussions. There is a particular restlessness in their thoughts. Their thoughts are usually going very fast, with great imagination and fantasies.
This great imagination also makes it easy to think of all the things that could go wrong. Hence the many fears, particularly of disease and death. They are easily startled, also in their sleep. The restlessness can also take the form of compulsive movements.

Alyssa Wethington has not had her hair cut or colored in over three months. How can this be? Her older sister, Lauren, is a designer at One Salon. Well, Alyssa has a legitimate excuse. She was off the grid. No, really, I mean literally OFF the grid. Alyssa has spent the last three months in the Costa Rican rain forest doing a research internship. “I think she was living in a tree house in the jungle or something,” laughs Lauren. “She had no internet, no cable, no cell phone service and definitely no hair salons.”
Alyssa was at the Campanario Biological Station which lies in the humid tropical Pacific lowlands of the Osa Peninsula in Costa Rica and stretches nearly 170 acres inland, with elevations from sea level to 155 meters above.
Campanario supports many diverse habitats including: 139 mammal species, 117 reptile and amphibian species, 350 bird species, 120 tree species, and thousands of plant and insect species. Many of these species are endangered, including: the Tapir, white-faced monkey, tayra, jaguar, puma, white-lipped peccary, pilot whale, hump-back whale, scarlet macaw, black cheeked ant tanager and the chestnut-mandibled toucan.
Campanario also features trails through the primary and secondary forests, lush vegetation and three permanent streams. The beautiful coastline includes four beaches, clear warm surf and several rocky points.
However, a visit to Campanario’s tropical rain forest is not for everyone. Campanario is a remote reserve. It is accessible by boat only. Transportation around the reserve is by foot and climate control is a nice breeze. There are no TVs, telephones or a maid service. The average daily temperature at the Field Station is 75-77 F and the average year sees 4-5 meters of rainfall, making Campanario one of the wettest areas in Costa Rica and the world.
“It was an amazing experience, one I will never forget,” says Alyssa. “It was so beautiful, remote and peaceful. It is definitely taking me a while to assimilate back into the technological world.”

To make the Therminal Engineered Arm Warmers, we used a special cylindrical knitting machine that allows us to engineer areas of stretch, compression, and articulation while creating a seamless design. Lighter weight than our standard Therminal Warmer collection, this seamless version is perfect to stash in a jersey pocket when you need a little extra protection on a fast descent or for a long climb in the shadows. We use a yarn that offers good loft for trapping body heat and adding a good sense of durability, while a knit construction allows for excellent air permeability and breathability. This technique and design also comes with the added benefit of aligning with your elbow joint, so the warmers will stay put with just the right amount of compression at the arm and wrist cuffs. - Therminal fabrics feature a brushed fleece interior that insulates while remaining highly breathable and effective at managing moisture. - Engineered construction minimizes edges and stitching, creating a smooth, compressive feel against your skin. - Knitted articulation and openings keep the warmers in place for the perfect fit. - Deflect UV 50+ protects your skin from harmful ultraviolet rays.

Good ventilation is key when keeping crickets. without it the small will build up and kill the crickets which in turn kills more. I use repashy bug burger to feed them but a variety of fresh greens and fruits that are safe are good to feed.
Make use of trimmings, scraps of human foods you prepare such as leafy salad greens, fresh fruit and veggie trimmings (not spinach or broccoli...they bind up calcium), plus fortified cereal grains. Some ingredients you may end up buying specifically (bee pollen or spirulina) to balance the nutrients over time. Sure there are great commercial gutloads offered by forums sponsors and the advantage is convenience, standardized recipes, and producing mixes in a form that keeps longer (shelf life).

It’s important to learn how to grow one book at a time. Reading changes you for the better, yes, but it takes time and effort; it’s not something that suddenly blooms.
In a world that’s saturated with digital noise, flickering screens, and fleeting attention spans, a book seems almost quaint. Yet, within paper pages, there’s a doorway to immense personal growth and development. Books are not simply stores of information; they are testaments to human experience, wisdom, and inspiration, with the potential to unlock our own untapped potential.
How Reading Changes You for the Better
One of the most potent ways books contribute to our growth is by expanding our horizons. Through its pages, we are allowed to travel beyond the confines of our immediate world. With books, we immerse ourselves in diverse cultures, historical periods, and scientific discoveries. Each book exposes us to new perspectives that challenge our biased ideas of the world and ourselves. This intellectual expansion leads to greater empathy, tolerance, and a deeper appreciation for the diversity of the human experience.
Reading is not just a passive act; it’s also a mental workout. As we decipher sentences, navigate plots, and grapple with complex concepts, our brains are firing on all cylinders. This constant engagement strengthens cognitive skills like memory, critical thinking, and problem-solving. Studies have shown that regular reading changes you by boosting vocabulary, improving concentration, and even delaying the onset of age-related cognitive decline. Books are a lot like gyms for the mind, keeping it agile, flexible, and ready to tackle any intellectual challenge.
Looking Beyond What We See
Reading changes you for the better by placing you into the shoes of others. Through the lens of fiction, we experience triumphs and tragedies, grapple with moral dilemmas, and navigate the complexities of human relationships. By stepping into the lives of fictional characters, we develop our capacity for empathy, learning to see the world through different eyes and understand perspectives unlike our own. This enhanced emotional intelligence translates into real-world benefits, improving our communication skills, strengthening relationships, and fostering a sense of global citizenship.
Understanding Your Mind for the Better
The human mind is inherently creative, and books are a very powerful method of unlocking that potential. Engaging narratives stimulate our imaginations and expose us to new ideas, innovative problem-solving techniques, and diverse artistic expressions. Whether it’s the lyrical prose of a poet, the intricate world-building of a fantasy novel, or the groundbreaking solutions presented in a scientific treatise, each book furthers our potential.
One of the most profound ways reading changes you for the better is by offering guidance and inspiration. Whether it’s a self-help manual providing practical tools for personal development, a historical biography showcasing resilience in the face of adversity, or a philosophical treatise contemplating the meaning of life, books can show us the path ahead. Reading empowers us to overcome challenges, set goals, and navigate life’s inevitable uncertainties. Through their words, authors share their experiences, struggles, and triumphs, offering us wisdom and encouragement along our own journeys.
A Book in Time
Perhaps the most valuable lesson imparted by books is the importance of lifelong learning. The world is a vast and ever-evolving canvas, and reading equips us with the tools to keep exploring, adapting, and growing. By embracing a reading habit, we cultivate a mindset of curiosity, openness, and continuous learning. This commitment to personal growth ensures that we never stagnate, never stop evolving, and remain forever young at heart.
Learn more about reading and tips on how to develop a mindset for personal and professional growth in Jill Fandrich’s A Book in Time blog.


DHP Family presents Loupe
- Buy Tickets
Amsterdam indie rock quartet Loupe has the odd gift of sounding thrilling and alarming within the same instant.
The band’s singer and lyricist Julia (vocals/keys – she/her) explores themes of young adulthood, life in the big city and human relationships over a weave of rousing harmonies, free-flowing rhythms and expressive vocals. Besides Julia, the band consists of Jasmine (guitar – they/them, Lana (bass – she/her) and Annemarie (drums – she/her).
Everything immediately fell into place with the critically acclaimed first single “Leave Me There”, which sparked the band’s initial notoriety. Over the past two years, Loupe has steadily risen to new heights with the EPs Older (2021) and Spring ’19 (2022).
This earned the band a growing reputation as a stage act with memorable shows at various marquee showcase festivals. Loupe also performed support shows for indie favorites such as Porridge Radio and Moss.
The band’s forthcoming debut Do You Ever Wonder What Comes Next? was recorded with producer Arne van Petegem (Moss, Styrofoam) and mixed by Beau Sorenson (Death Cab For Cutie, Sparklehorse).


This talk will provide an introduction to global climate as well as factors that impact it including the global water, carbon, and energy system. Cutting edge technology will be presented showcasing our abilities to remotely measure current conditions and predict future conditions.

S.C. asks from Saint Johns, FL on July 14, 2009
since our move to our home some of our landscape flowers have withered away. so the front of our house is lacking color and pizazz. i don't want to spend money on someone to do my landscaping which is only about a 2 foot x 20 foot area that really needs to be planted. does anyone have any experience with knockout roses or gardenias?
or maybe you can suggest a good nursery that could offer a lot of information since i don't have a great green thumb!!
hope to hear from you soon!
C.G. answers from Boca Raton on July 15, 2009
I want to second the idea for getting Pamela Crawford's books. Her books are geared for the South Florida region but I can't imagine St. johns area is that much different. Her books give suggestions on very very low maintenance gardens and tips on the successful care of each plant.

We went to Brandon Garden Center (I think that's the name) on Bloomingdale. We took a picture of our house and my hubby drew a picture of the layout. Then we took it to them and they designed our landscape. It was free of charge then we ordered the plants we wanted that they suggested. We had them deliver the plants, it was free since we are local. They placed them where they needed to be planted and my husband and I did that part to save money. Not sure but in this economy you might get a great deal. Good luck!
V.W. answers from Jacksonville on July 14, 2009
What is your space like? We have some mini/dwarf gardenias in our front bed. They bloom about 2x a year and smell wonderful (there are a few odd blooms on them right now). They prefer a bit of shade, but not shade only. Knock-out roses are roses, so they need lots of sun. I've never had any in my own yard, but they are in the front of our neighborhood, and they look decent year round. But again, they are roses, so they won't be in bloom in the winter months, and when they are not in bloom, I don't think the foliage is all that attractive - just my opinion of course. I think they tend to run about $16-25 a plant at Lowe's or Home Depot.
Have you considered Indian Hawthorne? They bloom and have dark colored berries, are sun and drought resistant and also deer resistant. We had some at our first house, and they were great.
C.S. answers from Sarasota on July 15, 2009
Great that a mom is willing to give free advice on landscaping. That's terrific! Libraries are also a great resource. I have combed the Manatee County libraries for hours looking for ideas. HGTV is also a good source to see how things look. Sending digital pics. of the areas helps with planning with your friend. Indian Hawthorne was a good suggestion. If you like color Crotens (spelling?) are good. I just love Pentas! We have a gardenia bush in the back and when it blooms it's nice. Be careful of things that just take off. The long growing season is a killer for us (trimming). Know nothing about roses but my neighbor in Virginia grows roses under her pine trees and they do very well, much to the confusion of the entire neighborhood! The Southern Living Garden Book is a good resource. Also Wyman's Gardening Encyclopedia has everything but the kitchen sink in it. Don't buy it (library). Mine was mother's and I looked inside and it was 65.00 when she bought it which had to be 8 or 9 years ago when she was still mobile. Good luck. Let us know how it goes and include pics. You will have fun! I just love to garden! Hate the Florida heat however!
B.A. answers from Tampa on July 15, 2009
You really can't go wrong with Knock Out Roses as long as they get direct sunlight. I have tons of them in my front yard and I plan on replacing all of my dead plants with them too. They are beautiful, bloom year round and require little to no care. I used to get them at Kirby's Nursery in Brandon/Seffner, but since money is tight these days I get them from Wal-Mart and they are just as hardy.
Gardenia's are great too. They smell wonderful, but I think they tend to prefer less sun.
S.W. answers from Miami on July 15, 2009
Home Deot and Lowes have great varieties and also a return policy if the plants don't make it.
They also have employees who can give you advice as far as where the plants will be located, irrigation needs and nutrients to sustain them.
Thank god you have a wonderful husband...

Hi S.! I highly recommend Living Color on Griffin Rd. in Dania. The place is huge and has a wide variety of landscaping plants and flowers that will do well in your yard. Our home is certified by the National Wildlife Foundation and I get a lot of our butterfly plants there. Their people are usually very knowledgeable & helpful. Their address is 3691 Griffin Road and they can be reached at ###-###-####. Good luck!
R.W. answers from Tampa on July 15, 2009
Honestly in this heat there really isn't much of anything growing well. Roses take a lot of time and care. If you are ready to fertilize, keep them pruned roses are ok. Gardenias take a lot of care too. It all depends on how much you want to spend on what you do. I know a lot of people just buy the real pretty fake flowers in the dollar store and put them in the flower bed along with some green plants. They actually look really good. I myself love four o'clocks. They start blooming early spring and bloom until late fall. You just mow them down and they come back up and you have beautiful flowers in the winter too. They bloom early morning until it gets hot out and then again in the evening
Sun flowers are very pretty and don't take any care at all. You actually have seeds for the birds later on. Go to a nursery and talk to the person in charge. They are great at working with what would be best for you and it's free advice.

20-year old Everett woman murdered
EVERETT – Authorities are continuing to investigate the slaying of a 20-year-old woman from Everett, according to a joint press release from Middlesex County District Attorney Gerry Leone and the Everett Police Department.
Officers responded to a call on Pearl Street at 6:44PM on Tuesday to find Jessica Cormier, 20, suffering from stab wounds in the hallway of the triple-decker where she lived with her parents and sister. She was taken to Massachusetts General Hospital where she was pronounced dead.
Police and the DA’s office have declined to comment on possible suspects or a potential motive for the violent crime, but have stated that it does not appear to be a random act.
Screams alerted neighbors who were then drawn to the scene, but no one was seen entering or leaving the victim’s home before police arrived.

After Fiction Story, I am trying poem, I used to write small poems or quotes since school days. But, they were all kept closed in a keepsake. Trying to get them some light, fresh air 🙂
We all know there are many benefits of carrying babies, and we all do so as long as we can, from being loved, feeling secured to being a confident child.
Have you ever thought why do kids do what they do. I do think, mostly after my little monsters (my sons-RJs) are fast asleep, in fact may be they are halfway on their rides to a beautiful dream, where they can fight with each other without my interruption. 🙂
Here I have tried to express the emotions of a child for his/her mother, why do babies want to be carried, why do Kids want to be with their Mothers always, in a few lines. I hope you like it.
Mai aaya is duniya me tab se
Tune hai mujhe apnaya jab se
Mai yaha kisi ko jaanta nahi
Bus tu hai ek jise mai pehchanta hun
Sabse pehle tumhe hai jaana
Sabko maine tumse hi pehchana
Tu paas nahi to mai adhura sa hun
Teri God me hi to mai poora hun
Tu paas nahi baithi to khilone se bhi Mann nahi behelta
Tu paas baithe to hai har cheez khilona lagta
Khud khaun to khane me koi swaad nahi aata
Wahi jo tu khilade to khane ka swaad hai badh jaata
Koi shaitani kar kisi kone me chip jaun
Jab to aankh dikhaye to daud ke tujhse hi lipat jaun
To kahe soja par mai jagta hi rahun
Raat bhar sahi teri raah takta rahun
Jaise hi tu paas aake let jaye
Ek sukoon sa dil me mere lehraye
Apni Surili awaj me tu gungunaye
Meri ankhiyon me neend bhar aaye
Phir aankh khule tere thapthapaane se
Chehre pe mere badi si muskurahat aaye
Jab tu hanse to lage saari duniya gulabi
Aur jab tu udaas ho to sab kuch hi lage bikhri hui
Dil chupke se kahe- kuch sharaarat to kar
Daant lagane Maa bhaagi bhaagi paas aa jaye….

U.S. healthcare policy is literally a matter of life and death.
Economists have developed a macabre but necessary count of both the benefits of the Affordable Care Act’s expansion of Medicaid and the costs—often, the ultimate price—of Republican state politicians’ efforts to curtail insurance coverage in opposition to federal policy.
Medicaid expansion mandated through the passage of Obamacare has saved at least 19,000 lives of adults age 55 to 64 between 2014 and 2017, according to a new study from the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, a nonpartisan think tank in Washington.
“The lifesaving impacts of Medicaid expansion are large: an estimated 39% to 64% reduction in annual mortality rates for older adults gaining coverage,” write the report’s authors, Matt Broaddus and Aviva Aron-Dine.
Some 15,600 older adults died prematurely because of state decisions not to expand Medicaid, according to the study.
Medicaid expansion ranks among other major public health initiatives in lifesaving potential, the authors write.
“If all states had expanded Medicaid, the number of lives saved just among older adults in 2017 would roughly equal the number of lives that seat belts saved among the full population, based on estimates from the National Highway Traffic Safety Commission.”
The study also provides state-level estimates of lives saved and lost depending on state officials’ decisions to accept federal funds or reject them. There are 14 Republican-controlled states that have still not yet adopted or implemented expansion, including Texas, North Carolina and Wisconsin.
“This clear evidence of the lives that are at stake provides yet another reason—on top of the already well-documented improvements in access to care, health outcomes, financial security and state and hospital finances—for these states to take up expansion without delay,” the authors argue.

Greene County is planning its first Veterans Expo at the fairgrounds next week.
According to Kathy Cipcic, director of the Greene County Veterans Affairs office, the county is partnering with Aetna Health Insurance to sponsor the event from 2 to 6 p.m. March 26.
“It is a great opportunity for Greene County to come together showcasing services and benefits for our military community,” Kelly Boyle, director of Community Outreach for Aetna Medicare, said in a news release.
Cipcic said there will be about 28 vendors with information and tips on benefits, social networking, jobs, housing, finances and mental and physical health. Due to the pandemic, not every vendor will be staffed, and instead will simply offer brochures. There will also be prizes, entertainment and refreshments.
“I just hope it is a success,” Cipcic said. “We’re just trying to get our veterans more help. We want them to know we work for them. We want them to get what they deserve.”
Cipcic said her office assists roughly 3,000 people, which includes local veterans, their spouses and children. The expo is open to all veterans, not just Greene County residents, she said.
“At some of our veterans council meetings, there have been veterans that made comments previously about getting some things taken care of,” Cipcic said. “With Aetna, we thought, ‘Let’s try something and see where it goes from there.’”
County Commissioner Mike Belding said that as a veteran, he hopes others will take advantage of the expo.
“I think the characteristics of veterans are that they’re generally selfless people,” he said. “I think they often take care of others before themselves. There’s this attitude among veterans that they don’t want free help – they’ll take care of themselves. They’re very self-sufficient and don’t often reach out for help. These are the benefits that individuals have earned. And if it wasn’t earned it wouldn’t be available to you.”
Belding said his message has always been that veterans have earned those benefits.
“Whether they’re looking for age care or assistance with home heating or medical assistance, this gives them an opportunity,” Belding said. “And the timing probably couldn’t be better.”
Belding said that with the number of COVID-19 cases dropping and the number vaccinations increasing, people may be more comfortable attending the event, especially since it will be in a wide open space.
“A lot of the reports we hear now are talking about the effects of isolation,” Belding said. “That cycle of a year-long of isolation and loneliness has had an effect on veterans, especially older vets who might not be on the internet. I’m sure there’s a group of these folks who will finally feel comfortable going out.”

The 20th anniversary of the worst airline disaster on U.S. soil is coming up at the end of this month. On May 25, 1979, the Friday of Memorial Day weekend, American Airlines Flight 191 took off from O'Hare International Airport bound for Los Angeles. Shortly after takeoff the plane crashed in a field on the edge of Des Plaines, killing all 271 on board and two people on the ground.
Despite the significance and magnitude of this tragedy, two decades later there is still no marker or memorial at the site. Heavy traffic on Touhy Avenue races by oblivious to the importance of the site. The federal, state and local indifference is a disgrace and an insult to the memory of those who perished.

The thermal spraying processes are specialized, yet have a wide ranging utilization in both manufacturing and maintenance. The nature of the processes is truly synergistic. That is, there are many components and variables involved, which, when working together and properly applied, produce an effect far greater than indicated when they are considered individually. Yet each component and variable must be understood to permit the proper selection and operation of a particular process. With this background, the user is then in a position to tailor the process to a particular application.

United will complete a world-record deal to sign Hugo Lloris but fail in their attempts to lure Harry Kane to Old Trafford, according to former Tottenham defender Paul Miller.
"I do believe that Lloris will be at United because with the 'keeper [De Gea] leaving to go to Real Madrid," he told Sky Sports.
"I think he is definitely going to go because United need to go and sign a top goalie.
"Nowadays when you've got clubs like United, Barcelona, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich, when they knock on your door the player is going to go, so get as much money as you can. I think it will definitely break the goalkeeping world record, which is £32m."

Linux Magazine’s Top 20 Companies to Watch in 2007
We pick the companies that are defining the future of Information Technology and will have the most impact on the Open Enterprises of 2007. It's the inaugural edition of our 20 Companies to Watch list and we guarantee that every company here will challenge how you think about Linux and Open Source before the year is out.
IT types, start your computing engines. In November, Intel kicked off the multi-core PC era with the introduction of two quad-core processor families, boasting that the products deliver increased speed and responsiveness for servers, workstations, digital media creation, high-end gaming, and just about any hardware that feels the need for speed.
The announcement wasn’t exactly a surprise. Intel first began crowing about the transition to multi-core nearly four years ago, but has only recently made its plans into reality. In 2005, it began by trotting out the industry’s initial dual-core processor, and then more recently, refreshed its entire product line by debuting over 30 desktop and server processors based on the Intel Core micro-architecture.
Just in time for the holiday buying spree, Dell, IBM, and HP have all noted that they’ll begin rolling out products jiffy quick that use Intel’s new chips, and there’s high expectation that the processors will land in many more products in the months to come. Pundits have predicted that the new Xeon 5300 and Core 2 Extreme QX6700 should make an immediate impact on both high-end workstations and specialty PCs like gamer machines.
Also notable in 2006 was Intel’s partnership with Red Hat to create a global training and support program that helps customers speed up and optimize their Linux deployments. The Red Hat and Intel Solution Acceleration Program could make an impact in the coming year for enterprises looking to take advantage of the new Intel platforms that will be hitting the market in the year ahead.

Those of us with a bit of belly fat may take comfort in the fact that our excess weight is confined to our gut.
That can’t be as bad as being fat all over, can it?
Yes, actually it can.
Researchers have found that having the proverbial “pot belly” while being thin elsewhere is worse for your health than being fat everywhere.
Scientists at the Mayo Clinic followed the health of 1,700 people for 16 years. The subjects were all over 45.
Specifically, the scientists looked at how the location of participants’ fat affected their health. The study compared people with belly fat who had a normal weight to those whose total weight made them obese.
It turns out that belly fat is far worse than overall obesity when it comes to heart health. People with belly fat were 79% more likely to suffer a heart attack or stroke.i
Time for a Gut Check
Dr. Jose Medina-Inojosa is a researcher with the Mayo Clinic’s division of preventive cardiology. He is one of the authors of the study. “People with a normal weight but a fat belly have more chance of heart problems than people without a fat belly, even if they are obese,” he said.ii
Although many Americans are obsessed with weight loss, Dr. Medina Inojosa says that “waist loss” is more important.
His study was presented at the European Society of Cardiology Congress.
Belly Fat Is the Root Cause of Many Diseases
Doctors often call belly fat “visceral” fat. It is different than subcutaneous fat, which is what you have when you are fat all over.
Visceral fat surrounds and presses on your internal organs. This decreases the ability of the organs to function properly.
Researchers say that visceral fat can cause “lipotoxicity.” It releases more fatty acids than subcutaneous fat does. These fatty acids can lead to dangerous fat deposits in the liver, heart, and pancreas. This increases the risk of liver disease, heart disease, and type 2 diabetes.
And once you have belly fat, you can get caught in a vicious cycle. It diminishes your ability to exercise. That means you’ll put on even more belly fat.iii
Take the Belly Fat Test
Are you at risk from a bulging belly? You can find out with this simple at-home test.
Measure your waist circumference at your navel with your belly relaxed. Then measure the circumference of your hips at the widest point. If your waist is bigger than your hips, you have too much belly fat.iv
Two Supplements to Beat Belly Fat
A healthy diet and exercise can reduce belly fat. But two supplements can help, too.
Vitamin D. Researchers in Holland found that a vitamin D deficiency has a “strong relationship with increasing amounts of abdominal fat.” Their study of over 6,000 people concluded that “individuals with larger waistlines should consider having their vitamin D levels checked.”v
At your next physical, ask your doctor to check your vitamin D. It’s a simple blood draw that can be done along with your other tests.
If your vitamin D level is less than 20 ng/mL, you are deficient. Spending 15 minutes in the sun each day with your arms and legs exposed can help increase your levels.
If that’s not possible, take a 5,000 mg vitamin D supplement every day. Make sure you buy the D3 form, not D2. D3 will increase your levels of vitamin D more than twice as much as D2 will.
Black pepper. In a study published in the journal Bioscience, Biotechnology, and Biochemistry, scientists found that black pepper reduces visceral fat.vi
Black pepper contains the compound piperine. It gives pepper its pungent flavor. It also helps make you thinner.
Not only does pepper reduce belly fat, but it keeps new fat cells from forming. And it boosts your metabolism, helping you burn more calories.
You can’t get a therapeutic dose of piperine from using black pepper as a spice. Instead, take a black pepper or piperine supplement. They are widely available at health stores and online.
When it comes to health, many people focus on losing weight. The fact is, reducing belly fat is far more important.
Editor’s Note: Have you gained weight during the pandemic? You’re not alone. Americans have packed on an average of two pounds a month during the coronavirus crisis, according to a recently study.
Read our monthly journal Independent Healing to discover a way to lose the weight…and keep it off for good. Go HERE to find out more.

First, they went on a fun Disneyland date together … then they sneaked off to go hiking together … this weekend, Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes got caught making out in a car together. Now, it’s still unclear what, exactly, the status is of the couple’s romance (or dalliance, if you will) but one thing’s for sure … they really do seem to enjoy spending time together. Click below to SEE what Eva and Ryan got up to this weekend.
To be fair, we can’t actually see that Ryan and Eva kissed … but it SURE does look like they did. The couple did get smoochy at Disneyland so I think it’s very safe to assume that they’ve continued to share sweet kisses ever since. Eva’s dog deffo laid a big one on Ryan so, yeah, there was a lot of smoochin’ going on in that car. These two sure have been spending a lot of time together. Serious or not, they make a cute couple … don’tcha think?

Leak Investigations Triple Under Trump, Sessions Says
Leak Investigations Triple Under Trump, Sessions Says The Trump administration has been bedeviled by leaks large and small that have brought to light information ranging from White House infighting and the president’s rancorous phone conversations with foreign leaders to what surveillance showed about contacts by Mr. Trump’s associates with Russia — and even what Mr. Trump said to Russian visitors in the Oval Office about his firing of James B. Comey, the former F. B.I. WASHINGTON — Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced on Friday that the Justice Department is pursuing about three times as many leak investigations as were open at the end of the Obama era, a significant devotion of resources to hunt down disclosures that have plagued the Trump administration. Mr. Trump has continued to periodically demand a crackdown, including criticizing Mr. On July 25, for example, the president tweeted, “Attorney General Jeff Sessions has taken a VERY weak position on Hillary Clinton crimes (where are E-mails & DNC server) & Intel leakers!” In May, Mr. Trump himself disclosed sensitive intelligence to visiting Russian officials about an Islamic State plot, blurting out details that had been shared by Israel — a disclosure that some intelligence officials worried might have exposed an important Israeli government source. In 2013, after a backlash in Congress and the news media over aggressive tactics to go after reporters’ information in leak investigations, Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. decided to revise those rules to further tighten limits on when the government is allowed to subpoena telephone companies for logs of a reporter’s phone calls, which could reveal their confidential sources. Speaking to reporters in a subsequent briefing, Mr. Sessions’s deputy, Rod J. Rosenstein, demurred when asked whether the administration would prosecute reporters in relation to leaks, saying he would not “comment on hypotheticals.” He also said the review of the leak investigation guidelines had just begun and it was not clear what, if anything, would be changed about them.

- Starting in London, the roadshow will visit 8 locations across the UK to host panels discussions and networking drinks to bring the SME community together
- The announcement comes as UK FinTech Week begins, showcasing innovation in the financial services sector
- Over half of business leaders (51%) believe in the importance of networking, yet a third (33%) of the UK’s SME leaders have never spoken to other business leaders to seek advice and share experiences
- The Roadshow forms part of Klarna’s SME Support Package launched in July to get SMEs back on their feet after a tough few years
London, 31st March 2022: Klarna, a leading global retail bank, payments, and shopping service that helps consumers save time and money, and be informed and in control, has launched its nationwide SME Roadshow to host panel discussions, networking events and drinks to bring small and medium retailers together. The roadshow’s announcement coincides with UK FinTech Week, one of the world's leading FinTech events which showcases innovation in the financial service sector.
Klarna commissioned research found that while 51% of SME leaders know the importance of having a network of like-minded business leaders, a third (33%) have never spoken to another like-minded business to either seek advice or discuss experiences. The roadshow will provide a forum where SME owners and leaders can be open about the challenges, experiences and successes. Stopping off in London, Dublin, Edinburgh, Manchester, Cardiff, Birmingham, Newcastle and Belfast, the roadshow will host multiple events ranging from panel discussions to networking drinks for the 100 recipients of Klarna’s SME Support Package.
Launching in London, Klarna will host a panel moderated by Christian Howes, presenter and social media expert. Other panelists will include Alex Marsh, Head of Klarna UK, Emma Jones, Founder of Enterprise Nation and Matt Kennedy, Founder of Fussy (one of the support fund winners and recent Dragon’s Den alumni). Following the panel, guests will have the evening to network with like-minded SME’s and business leaders to share experiences and advice, all while enjoying a DJ set by Charlotte De Carle.
The roadshow is part of Klarna’s SME Support Package, its £3m support package created to boost SMEs as they recover from the pandemic. The winning 100 SMEs received a specialist support package including complimentary use of Klarna’s Pay later products for one year, WeWork All Access passes for three months and £15,000 worth of Klarna media services including in-app advertising, social media and promotional support on the Klarna app.
Alex Marsh, Head of UK at Klarna said, “SMEs are an integral part of our economy, and it’s so important that we give them as much support as possible to help them thrive. We hope that alongside the Support Package we’ve curated, that by bringing these leaders together, we can form a strong and powerful SME community built on support and knowledge sharing. I’m very much looking forward to meeting all the different leaders across the country.”

Let’s just get this out of the way, shall we? Rep. Michael Grimm (R-NY) offered a response to the State of the Union speech to NY-1, which sounds like business as usual — except that a probe has begun into Grimm’s campaign finances, which so far is both unresolved and not directly connected to Grimm himself. Under those circumstances, though, NY-1 thought it would be a good time to not just provide Grimm with a platform for his response, but also to ask him about the investigation.
Grimm disagreed … emphatically. And in one of the biggest boneheaded moves in politics in recent memory, he disagreed emphatically by threatening the reporter with violence while the camera was still rolling:
“So Congressman Michael Grimm does not want to talk about some of the allegations concerning his campaign finances,” Scotto said before tossing back to the station. But as the camera continued to roll, Grimm walked back up to Scotto and began speaking to him in a low voice.
“What?” Scotto responded. “I just wanted to ask you…”
Grimm: “Let me be clear to you, you ever do that to me again I’ll throw you off this f—–g balcony.”
Scotto: “Why? I just wanted to ask you…”
Grimm: “If you ever do that to me again…”
Scotto: “Why? Why? It’s a valid question.”
Grimm: “No, no, you’re not man enough, you’re not man enough. I’ll break you in half. Like a boy.”
Needless to say, NY-1 wants an apology, but Grimm so far thinks he was entirely justified:
Grimm later issued a statement saying he was “extremely annoyed” with Scotto and doubted he was the “first member of Congress to tell off a reporter.”
NY1 political director Bob Hardt demanded a “full apology” from Grimm.
Is that how it works? You find someone “extremely annoying,” and that means you can threaten to throw them off balconies and break them in half “like a boy”? (Where did Grimm get that metric, anyway?) That might work really well in professional wrestling, where Grimm might see his career path leading after this incident, but in politics it’s usually considered bad form. And uttering these threats into a live microphone while the reporter’s camera is broadcasting back to the studio is nothing short of idiotic.
Next year, let’s just have one Republican response, please.
