We live in a century revolved around Media. Where would we be if social media did not exist? Would we grow faster or slower? When we need answers, we turn directly to our technology. A world of technology may be a blessing and a curse. We have the world at our fingertips but not everyone can handle the convenience. Some people use the advantage and others take full advantage. The agenda setting theory was developed to help understand media and their influences. The spiral of silence theory relates to the agenda setting because it explains majority views. Majority is the audience associated with the media. Being in an advance technology century, the cultivation theory is used to shape majority beliefs. These beliefs are easily shaped because of human nature. The use and gratification theory describes human needs. It is a cycle the media also uses to keep control. The media has a lot of control of society and things may never end. The minority may not have the strength to overpower the way our world has become. The publics excessive use of technology should begin to stop if we want to keep control of our lives.
In life people love news. They love to share their outlook on stories and problems our world face daily. The problem is the media has the advantage of choosing what stories they feel should be spread to the public and become popular. The process of Agenda Setting theory was developed back in 1972. This particular theory is used to influence human thoughts based on what the media presents. There are three scholars associated with this theory. Media agenda, Public agenda and policy agenda. The media agenda affects the public agenda which trickles down and affects the policy agenda. The rules and restrictions of the agenda setting theory are known as the policy agenda. These theories persuade the public to believe what higher power wants them to believe. According to the reading “The Rules of virtual groups” by Walther & Bunz they state “Previous studies on face-to-face(FtF) groups, however, have shown a variety of “formal procedures” that groups may be in-duced to use that enhance their processes and outcomes (Sunwolf&Seibold,1999). Among these are “sets of rules or guidelines which specify how a group should organize its process “to enhance effectiveness and satisfaction.” The rules and restrictions help make it easier for the media agenda. Then the media agenda frame what they want the viewers to conclude. Public agenda plays the role of production. The more outlets displaying a story will create a bigger audience. People will pay attention to the story more because they have seen it several times. These theories are very affective and correlate properly with modern human nature. If a story has the potential to persuade a large audience, then the media will continue to display the same story as often as they can.
You know what they say, “majority always wins.” The spiral of silence theory controls social groups and their beliefs. According to “The end of mass communication” by Steven H “Mass communication as a set of media institutions. A common view of mass communication is as a set of media institutions—the organizations that’s end mediated messages through various channels.” The mass media will follow majority opinions to silence minority beliefs. The fear of isolation will persuade minority beliefs to second guess their opinion. Minority opinions are less likely to speak out which will continue to keep majority focused and encouraged. The medias influence is a primary scholar associated with this theory. Media has a strong ability to persuade the public to have majority beliefs. They may channel out important factors to help guide the publics view. The media will develop phases and create an unbelievable story. A good story will get the people talking. A limited view of reality is their most valuable skill needed to persuade the public. Minorities should not always follow the majority. The majority is usually shaped and not reality.
If there is one thing the media knows how to do, its shape the reality of the mass majority. The cultivation Theory assumes television is a main reliable source the media uses to persuade their audiences. According to “The media of mass communication” by John Vivian, “From its roots as a promotional tool, public relations has grown into a tool for advocacy. This includes lobbying in public-policy debates with government leaders and also mobilizing public opinion.” Making an opinion public can persuade the majority. If the opinion originates from a well-known celebrity, then their fans will most likely follow. With the media having the ability to have stories shown on most networks, they can maximize their audience. With people seeing news everywhere they are more likely to pay more attention to it. It is like an advertisement for news. It will eventually be embedded in a viewer’s subconscious mind. The primary scholars associated with this theory is the ice age analogy, mainstream and the mean world index. The ice age analogy will influence viewers. Heavy streaming will allow media to be mainstream and reach viewers that fall under the mean world index. The audience of the mean world index are the mass media. Our needs and beliefs are a natural part of life.
In life we desire to satisfy our needs. The uses and gratification theory explains how the media can contribute to peoples need for the media. There are five primary scholars associated with this theory. Cognitive needs, affective needs, personal integrative needs, social integrative needs, and tension release needs. Cognitive needs relate to someone’s desire to acquire knowledge. Affective needs are the need to satisfy one’s emotions. Personal needs relate to one’s self-esteem. They may need the media for credibility. The majority of people have social integrative needs. The need to socialize with friends or family. Social media plays a major part with human social integrative needs. Majority of people also practice tension release needs. A daily desire to relax and escape their mind. People may use music or tv to help satisfy their entertainment needs. As a Strategic communication professional, they are able to use this theory to organize media accounts. They are able to target their desired audience. According to “The media of mass communication” by john Vivian “Companies like Google make their money from search ads and cookie-derived placements with a click-through charge. Online click-through mechanisms are unlike print and broadcast media, which charge for the space or time regardless of how many people respond to a message. Internet companies, instead, charge for eyeballs that actually click on a link, which gives a higher level of assurance to whoever is sponsoring the message that it was seen by someone interested in the content.” Targeted audiences will only make it easier to produce specific information to keep their audience engaged. Personally, I was able to use this theory to coach individuals through life. Too much of anything can be bad for you. I had a client who let their social integrative needs slow down their growth. All though we have desires to go on social media, we can not let it take over our days. We have to have a set time. Family gatherings are different but spending hours on social media can be a big distraction. We have to have self-discipline and our days can become longer.
The media has a lot of control of society and things may never end. The minority may not have the strength to overpower the way our world has become. The publics excessive use of technology should begin to stop if we want control of our lives. One bad habit can contribute to a life suffering. The way technology is advancing the media is practically sitting in our rooms. Watching what we search. Watching our reactions. Every online gesture is monitored by the media. The cycle will continue and at a fast rate. The agenda setting theory will continue to influence our thoughts. Shape our beliefs, as we conversate in our daily lives. The spiral of silence theory will continue to scare the minority. Keep the minority silent to help persuade the majority beliefs. The cultivation theory will continue to lead through large platforms like the television. The mass media is easy to reach which makes it easy to persuade. As long as we search to fulfill our desires, the media will find a way to get into our minds. The use and gratification theory can keep us aware and help us monitor our intake. The media is in control of their data, but we are in control of our decisions.

A New England town has decided to reinstate a school mascot critics say is racist. This week on NEXT, the school board in Killingly, Conn., ditched the old “Redmen” mascot — then brought it back in what may be the first reversal of its kind. We also look at the impact of college football on the rise of two Massachusetts colleges. Plus, we talk to a mother about raising an adult son with severe autism.
Killingly, Conn., Ditched The Mascot … Then Brought It Back.
The town of Killingly, Conn., has reinstated a mascot that’s offensive to some Native Americans. Last year, the Killingly Board of Education had agreed to remove the “Redmen” high school mascot following a recommendation from the Nipmuc Nation Tribal Council. But this month, the board voted to restore the name in what may be the first reversal of its kind in the U.S. The move has brought national attention to eastern Connecticut.
“Naming a team a skin color in 2020 is just ridiculous, really,” said Barbi Gardiner, a Killingly High School alumna and member of the Chaubunagungamaug Band of Nipmuc Indians.
One College Adds Football, Another School Drops It. Both Thrive.
The college football season is officially over: Louisiana State University won the national championship on January 13. But for other colleges without big-time football programs, the impact of the sport can still be felt. Bill Pennington, a sports reporter for The New York Times, recently wrote an article about two New England colleges that exemplified the “dichotomy of thought about football’s place in higher education.” About a decade ago, Anna Maria College in central Massachusetts added a football program. The same year, Northeastern University in Boston eliminated theirs. Both schools got a boost.
Inventions For People With Severe Autism
In homes where a family member has severe autism, day-to-day tasks can be challenging. Darlene Borré knows this first-hand: Her 18-year-old son, Ben, has severe autism and is non-verbal. Borré is trying to solve some of those challenges by working with engineering students from the University of Connecticut. The students recently presented some of their ideas at a science fair.

Migraine & Tension Headache
Often described as a moderate or severe headache, with a throbbing pain on one side of the head, Migraine is a common condition affecting one in five women and around one in 15 men
The exact cause of migraines is unknown, however they are thought to be the result of changes in the chemicals and blood vessels in the brain. Some people have known triggers including stress, tiredness or certain foods and drinks.
Migraines & Tension Headaches
Although there is currently no known cure, there are a number of different medications available to help reduce the symptoms and prevent further migraine attacks. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, getting plenty of exercise, eating regular meals, staying hydrated and limiting your alcohol intake can all help to reduce the frequency of migraine attacks. Where stress or anxiety may be the cause, hypnotherapy, self hypnosis and mindfulness may be able help to reduce the number and frequency of migraines or tension headaches.
The most effective therapy for you depends on your individual situation. Some people find a combination of medication, hypnotherapy and regular self hypnosis practise can be helpful for reducing or managing the symptoms of migraines or tension headache. By using relaxation, visualisation and hypnosis to teach stress release and pain control techniques, hypnotherapy and mindfulness can help you to manage stress, increase confidence and regain some control over some of your migraine symptoms.
What to expect
Your initial consultation is an opportunity for us to meet and discuss your situation in more detail as well as answering any questions you may have and deciding on the best options for you. Many people find between 4 to 6 hypnotherapy sessions helpful for migraines or tension headaches, however everyone responds to therapy differently and so the number of sessions required will vary from person to person. Your motivation and participation play a key part in your therapy process too.
Migraines and other types of headaches can only be diagnosed by a medical professional. If you have any doubts or concerns about your symptoms, you must see your doctor. You will need a confirmed diagnosis of Migraine or Tension Headache from your doctor before starting any hypnotherapy sessions.

SCOUT Space Inc. has been selected as a subcontractor by Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity (IARPA), the R&D arm of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, in support of the SINTRA (Space Debris Identification and Tracking) program.
Through a competitive Broad Agency Announcement, IARPA’s SINTRA program was awarded to four teams, including one led by SRI International, an independent, nonprofit, research institute behind countless cutting-edge technological advances, as a prime contractor, with support from SCOUT and Leidos.
The SINTRA program aims to revolutionize our nation’s ability to detect, track, and characterize miniature orbital space debris, smaller than 10 cm, which are currently untrackable from the ground. Resulting technologies hold the potential to protect crewed spacecraft and other valuable space assets from these compact threats, which are difficult to detect and track and can cause significant damage. The SINTRA program is anticipated to be a four-year effort.
In July of this year, SCOUT announced the company had successfully completed an oversubscribed Seed round led by Decisive Point, with majority investment by Noblis Ventures, the corporate venture arm of Noblis.
SCOUT will support the SRI team by assessing the space debris environment and how to best achieve widespread space debris monitoring with hosted payloads, incorporating off-the-shelf and in-development sensors focused on detecting both direct and indirect phenomena. The team will conduct trade studies for deploying space-based sensors hosted on future space missions, and will conclude the SINTRA program by testing and delivering an integrated payload to IARPA.
“Space debris detection and tracking is a very hard problem, and characterization is sometimes an entirely different problem which compounds that. There isn’t one catch-all solution available today, so we are leveraging various sensing modalities and core competencies to synthesize a means to proliferate one. SCOUT’s expertise in on-orbit sensing and characterization uniquely positions us to integrate our partners’ RF (radio-frequency) sensing modalities with our own optical systems and enables us to support a framework of distributed on-orbit sensing to better understand space debris. We have assembled a team which shares an amazing spread of in-depth knowledge of this field, and I am proud of that. We are looking forward to working with SRI and Leidos to realize the concept of a ubiquitous space-based debris sensor.” — Sergio Gallucci, Co-founder and CTO, SCOUT, also leading the team’s space-based sensors mission area
“SRI is deeply invested in limiting the dramatic consequences that can occur from space debris collision, including damage to expensive equipment or loss of vital communications. Currently, there are more than 100 million objects larger than 1mm orbiting the Earth; however, less than 1 percent of mission-ending debris are currently tracked. With the objective to integrate sensor data into a robust tracking system, SRI and SCOUT will develop spaceborne sensors to more accurately characterize debris objects.” — Lin van Nieuwstadt, Sr. Research Engineer, SRI International
About SCOUT Space:
SCOUT Space was founded in 2019 with the mission to enable a new era of space safety and transparency. SCOUT’s in-space products and services, first launched in June 2021, allow spacecraft to see and understand things around them. The orbital distributed sensor network developed by SCOUT will significantly improve Space Domain Awareness (SDA) and ensure responsible use of the space environment. The company is a Techstars, MassChallenge, and venture-backed startup with ongoing government and commercial contracts. SCOUT holds the Established® 2021 Startup of the Year® title.

Japanese V-Cinema (Vシネマ,Bui Shinema?) is the direct-to-video industry that appeared in Japan in the 1980s. The term is a trademark of Toei Company but is widely used in the West to describe any Japanese direct-to-video release. In Japan the term used is Original Video (オリジナルビデオ,Originaru Bideo?). Unlike its Western counterpart, this industry has a considerably better reputation, with directors sometimes making V-Cinema movies by choice, due to the creative freedom afforded by the less stringent censorship of the format, and the riskier content the producers will allow. The more common term OVA (Original Video Animation) is applied when the film in question is anime.

Welcome to Island Center's Recycling Office Recycling Program! We have designed this program for its ease of administration and participation.
The program outline is as follows:
Each desk-side trash container is an office waste paper recycling unit (notebook paper, brochures, envelopes, newspaper, receipts, message pads, even an occasional staple or paper clip is OK). Each break room area trash container is an “all other waste” non-recycling unit (food, Styrofoam, plastic, wood, and metal). An exception to this would be an aluminum can recycling unit within your break area. Each individual is urged to discard waste material in appropriate containers. If in doubt, throw it out in the “all other waste” container within your break area. Also, when eating at your desk, please remember to get up and discard the remains in the “all other waste” container (this includes Styrofoam cups). Empty cardboard boxes should be placed next to the “all other waste” container.
The advantages of participating in an office recycling program are 1) environmental issues e.g. reducing the destruction of paper producing trees and lessening dumpsite areas; 2) reduction of waste removal costs which savings are passed on to you, the
We appreciate your concern and participation in our program, and should you have further questions, please contact our office.

The United Nations is now developing a set of regulations for ocean waters beyond 200 miles from national boundaries, outside exclusive economic zones.
Although regulations exist against resource extraction on these waters, conservation rules and marine protected areas will be new if and when they become binding, a few years down the line.
A recent study published in Conservation Letters by Callum Roberts, Bethan O’Leary, and other researchers at York University found that marine conservation goals will not be met with the current United Nations commitments to protecting 10% of ocean habitats, especially without these proposed open sea protected areas.
Both fisheries and bioprospecting, looking for biological resources for pharmaceutical and other product development, put marine life at risk and are huge markets that are frequently discussed in marine conservation talks.
Although some argue that the marine protected areas may lead to further exploitation of resources beyond their protection, these designations will have an immediate effect in conservation in many parts of the ocean.
The study by York researchers backs up previous recommendations for 30% protection, and notes that only 6% of the ocean is set to be protected now.
The paper looks into 144 past studies done with various goals in mind and finds that the 30% protection mark best satisfies not only biodiversity and biogeographical concerns, like connectivity of the areas, but also the need to conserve economic production and consider all of the parties that will be affected by these changes.
The designated 6% of open seas have not yet been protected, so the 10% goal seems far away. However, trends in marine protection are very positive and the 30% goal can be reached.
Watch for updates in the current United Nations negotiations and the relationship between bioprospecting and intellectual property rights as protected by the Convention on Biological Diversity from the 1992 Rio Earth Summit over the course of the next few years.
Also expect extensive research to be published on marine conservation, fisheries, and bioprospecting and intellectual property rights in the meantime.

A new reports shows the number of home inspections has fallen for the third year in a row
Three local authorities are failing to meet targets on new home inspections.
The Irish Independent says Fingal, South Dublin and Tipperary county councils are not reaching the minimum threshold set by the Department of Environment.
The inspections are carried out to ensure buildings are of a high enough standard.
The Performance Indicators in Local Authorities report also reveals that the number of home inspections has fallen for the third year in a row.
Only 22% of all new buildings are inspected across the country - or 2,400 out of 11,000 completed homes.
However the report also found that the inspection rate increased in 11 counties - Carlow, Kerry, Kilkenny, Leitrim, Longford, Mayo, Meath, Monaghan, Roscommon, Sligo and Waterford.

Don Feltis is hoping that his greatest career achievement hasn’t happened yet.
After all, Mr Feltis was the man who convinced Phil Gould to return to Penrith and take on the biggest overhaul in the history of the Panthers.
He’s hoping it turns out to be a masterstroke and Gould leads the charge towards the club’s third rugby league title.
Success within the next few years or not, the contribution Mr Feltis – currently the Chairman of the Panthers’ Board – has made to rugby league and the Penrith district cannot be questioned.
Last Friday, Mr Feltis was honoured for that contribution when he was presented with the NSW Parliament’s Certificate of Commendation for Outstanding Community Service.
“My three children Suzanne, Neil and Mark and my wife Lynne were invited to Parliament House last Friday, where there was an official presentation of the certificate and it was a very satisfying occasion to share with my family who have been my strongest supporters over my long time in rugby league,” Mr Feltis said.
“I have been involved in rugby league for the past 65 years, first as a player at St Marys, Richmond, Penrith Waratahs, Wellington and Bourke, then a coach for nine years and the last 35 years as an administrator serving as Chief Executive of both Penrith Junior League and the Panthers District Club.”
Mr Feltis has always been the consummate professional, never hiding his commitment and dedication to the Panthers.
He is no ring-in: his passion for Penrith is real.
“I owe a significant part of any success I have had to rugby league, which has provided the platform for me to achieve what I have,” he said.
“With so many highlights over my time in rugby league it is difficult to have a preference, but the Panthers’ premiership wins in 1991 and 2003 rank highly and I want one more before I finish up and under the astute management of Phil Gould and Ivan Cleary, I am confident that will happen.”
In part, the certificate presented to Mr Feltis last Friday reads: “This house acknowledges the outstanding work of Mr Don Feltis in the community over the last 42 years and commends him for his continuing extraordinary service to rugby league and western Sydney.”

I started with a base of the very beautiful Orly - Royal Navy, then painted diagonal french tips using Orly - Luxe. I went over the 'seam' with a gold glitter striper polish, then using 3 sized dotting tools dotted Luxe on the base.
Quick and easy and as soon as the mr. seen it he said "aw, it reminds me of the Navy!" Mission accomplished!

The first blood test to diagnose major depression in adults has been developed by Northwestern Medicine scientists, a breakthrough approach that provides the first objective, scientific diagnosis for depression. The test identifies depression by measuring the levels of nine RNA blood markers. RNA molecules are the messengers that interpret the DNA genetic code and carry out its instructions.
The blood test also predicts who will benefit from cognitive behavioral therapy based on the behavior of some of the markers. This will provide the opportunity for more effective, individualized therapy for people with depression.
In addition, the test showed the biological effects of cognitive behavioral therapy, the first measurable, blood-based evidence of the therapy’s success. The levels of markers changed in patients who had the therapy for 18 weeks and were no longer depressed.
“This clearly indicates that you can have a blood-based laboratory test for depression, providing a scientific diagnosis in the same way someone is diagnosed with high blood pressure or high cholesterol,” said Dr. Eva Redei, who developed the test and is a professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. “This test brings mental health diagnosis into the twenty-first century and offers the first personalized medicine approach to people suffering from depression.”
Dr. Redei is co-lead author of the study, which was published September 16 in Translational Psychiatry.
Dr. Redei previously developed a blood test that diagnosed depression in adolescents. Most of the markers she identified in the adult depression panel are different from those in depressed adolescents.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
"We couldn't have found more appropriate invites for our poolside wedding! They were perfect and we couldn't have thought up a design which addressed our theme of our event better! We waited to the last minute to order, they arrived earlier than we could have imagined and really impressed our friends!"
"I chose this invitation because of the watercolour design which I find unique and original. I wasn't sure about the paper and envelope quality but when I received it, I was very impressed. The paper feels soft yet firm and durable. Many people found it original too. My only negative comment about this invitation is maybe i expected it to be able to fold in some sort of way, but then again, that added to the originality of the design."
"This card was the perfect choice to capture the spirit of our wedding, especially with text and color that I personalized for our event. The plum is a nice shade of warm purple (more red than blue). I was extremely pleased with the quality of both the paper and printing - thermography was beautiful and well applied (clean, crisp with no cracks, chips, skips, etc.). Even the William Arthur packaging was very high quality. The Wedding Paper Divas team was great, orders arrived before the date specified and even included a few overprints for free. Highly recommend this card and Wedding Paper Divas, overall. Great value, especially if you can take advantage of a promotion."
"The quality of the paper was what I was looking for. As soon as our guest received the invitations the calls started coming in. They "LOVE"d that the logo connected us to our wedding venue in Philadelphia which is known for its iconic LOVE statue in the center city area."
"I wanted to find a very specific green, to match my MOH's "Leaf Green" dress from Ann Taylor, and this fit the bill! The colors of green are BEAUTIFUL, as is the lace pattern. Ours arrived yesterday, and they're so beautiful! I just wish they had more "matching" products (like menus, programs, bridal shower invites)."

Don’t run out of coffee during the apocalypse. Stock up on delicious coffee that’s freeze-dried and sealed to keep it fresh for decades.
Americans’ faith in organized religion continues to trend down at an accelerated pace. A new poll from Gallup shows for the first time since the public opinion polling company began asking questions in 1937, the number of Americans who view themselves as members of a church, synagogue, or mosque has plunged below 50%. Keep in mind, in 1937, when Gallup first asked the question, 73% went to church, synagogue, or mosque.
Article from Zero Hedge.
America is losing its religion, and this trend of a more secular state has been accelerating since the Dot Com Bust (the early 2000s). The poll found 47% of Americans said they were a part of a church, synagogue, or mosque, down from 50% in 2018 and 70% in 1999.
The gradual decline of Americans losing their religion began in the 1950s and rapidly accelerated in the early 2000s. America’s unique combination of wealth (status quo power) and worship during the 20th century appears to be unraveling in the 21st century.
The obvious question that comes to mind is what the hell happened around the Dot Com Bust?
Perhaps, the shift away from organized religion is due to millennials. Polling data found membership at a house of worship correlations with age, with older Americans more likely to attend church, synagogue, or mosque than younger generations.
Since the early 2000s, the percentage of Americans who don’t associate themselves with religion has increased from 8% in 1998-2000 to 13% in 2008-2010 and 21% since 2017.
As millennials come to age and in the next couple of years will dominate the workforce, the loss of religion will undoubtedly continue, triggering a “religion crisis” for organized religious institutions.
Don’t wait until food shortages get REALLY bad before stocking up. Get a three-month’s supply now while it’s still available.
Indeed, as the society-wide shifts in ideals and beliefs occur as the millennial generation takes power, their taste for organized religion sours.
There are a couple of major trends driving the plunge in faith in organized religion – millennials with no religious preference are soaring above all other generations, and religious membership is plunging among the youth. In fact, membership continues to decline across all generations, but millennials are increasing faster.
America is losing its religion.
So the next question: Why are millennials losing faith faster than all other generations?
Well, maybe the American Dream of getting married, buying a home with a white picket fence, having kids, attending church or temple, and having a stable career is unattainable for the young generation as they’re bound by ball and chain to insurmountable student loans, credit card debt, auto loans, and crappy jobs.
As America’s youth slips away from organized religion and past traditions, maybe this is a symptom of a dying country.
The much larger question of the sudden loss of religion is the social ramifications this may have for the country as a secular state could be in the making.
Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our new GiveSendGo. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Truth Based Media
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.

Naoto wanted to take me to conveyor belt sushi during our stay in Japan. Conveniently, Sushi Daidokoya was just a block away from our hotel. (Seriously…it was the best hotel location.)
Conveyor belt sushi restaurants are kind of “fast-food” sushi, without the mystery meats and paper wrappings. They are just quick and cheap places for sushi. The restaurants have rotating conveyor belts of different offerings. The sushi chef is usually in the center of the belt slicing up different cuts of fish and making the sushi. He puts each serving on a little plate (about the size of a saucer) and then the customer chooses which kind of sushi she wants from the belt.
When we walked in, we were greeted by all of the restaurant staff (much like the izakaya experience, and really all dining establishments in Japan). We took our seats at the communal table surrounding the conveyor belt and Naoto filled up our tea mugs. There were hot water spigots at each seat, making it easy to help ourselves. A woman handed us a hot towel and then we were on our own to pick out what we wanted from the conveyor belt as delicious sushi offerings glided by.
We chose several things directly off of the belt. It was lunchtime so everything was freshly made and snagged up quickly. We didn’t see my favorite roll–the tekka roll (tuna and wasabi wrapped in rice and seaweed)–so Naoto special ordered it and the sushi chef passed it over the belt to me.
Here’s a little video of the view from our seat. Things move around pretty quickly so you have to be on your toes and know what you want!

It’s no secret that Gigi Hadid is enjoying plenty of success in the fashion industry right now—look no further than her very first stateside Vogue cover as proof. So what has helped her skyrocket to the tippy top of the industry? In a new interview on Vogue’s podcast, Hadid credits her respectfulness, likability, and work ethic with her career success.
“My mom always taught me to respect everyone on set,” she said on the podcast. “I do have a motto: I always say be kind, work hard, and make a friend. If I can be sure about one thing that has brought me to this place in my career, it’s that I’ve always worked my hardest to be someone people like to be on set with, be someone who people want to push for the next day when they go into a meeting. I think that leads to more opportunity than people realize.” Who could possibly argue with that?
Scroll down to see our favorite Instagrams that exhibit Gigi Hadid’s graciousness in the fashion industry!
An ultimate dream come true, I am beyond humbled. Shooting my first American @voguemagazine cover, in my hometown, was so surreal. And to be able to share it with Olympic Gold Medalist and my new friend #AshtonEaton is such an honor. I couldn't think of a cover I'd rather be on than the one celebrating athletics. Being an athlete has brought so much pride and joy to my life and has instilled the work ethic that still drives me every day. To Anna, @mariotestino, @tonnegood & everyone at Vogue- thank you from the bottom of my heart for believing in me, teaching me, showing me the world, and being such a pleasure to work with. ❤ To @luizmattos1906 and my @imgmodels family, I don't thank you guys enough- I appreciate you so much. We did it!!!!!!! This one's dedicated to my biggest inspirations to work hard, my family, to all my coaches throughout my life ???????? and of course to the fans that have stuck by me from the start!!!

Taskmaster has been popping up as a foil for Marvel Comics heroes since 1980, but we still don’t know much about him — how he got into the mercernary/supervillain training business, his real name, or when he first developed a fondness for hoods and spooky skull masks. At least some of those questions look to be answered in Taskmaster, a four-issue miniseries debuting this Wednesday, Sept. 1, from writer Fred Van Lente (The Incredible Hercules) and artist Jefte Palo (Brother Voodoo). After a stint as a trainer in Avengers: The Initiative, Taskmaster is back on the merc market, but he’s finding that even his memory has a limit — the very same ability that allows him to mimic anyone’s fighting skills has caused him to forget pretty much every basic personal detail of his life. And that’s just the start of his problems.Newsarama caught up with Van Lente over e-mail to talk the writer’s own history with the character, what other characters will pop up in the series, and the pressing issue of whether it’s “the Taskmaster” or just “Taskmaster.” Newsarama: You’re a fan of a lot of Marvel Comics from around when Taskmaster debuted in Avengers #185, and since you're writing this, I'm guessing you're a fan of Taskmaster specifically. What are some of your personal favorite stories or moments with the character? Fred Van Lente: One of the first comics I first remember buying with my own money (for a whopping fifty cents) was the Marvel Team-Up where Spidey and Scott (Ant-Man) Lang fought him. But actually I wasn't a huge fan of the character when editor Lauren Sankovitch asked me if I wanted to do something with him. Sometimes to figure out what makes a character appealing you need to break him down to his essentials, and it occurred to me that Taskmaster was basically a guy with a super-memory. The more I thought about that, the more I realized I could build a really compelling story around a character with that kind of a hook. Nrama: It’s a fun concept, Taskmaster forgetting details of his personal life due to his very nature. When did you come up with that take? It seems like the kind of idea that you might have had kicking around in your head for a while, waiting for a chance to get a crack at the character. Van Lente: Not really. It came to me later that night after Lauren brought Tasky to me. Like an earwig, it just kept gnawing into my brain! I realized it'd be interesting if Taskmaster's brain was like a hardrive, and the "big files" of all the different superhero fighting skills he's memorized were overwriting what he knew about his actual past. Nrama: It’s also a good impetus for exploring the character's origin, something readers haven’t known much about in the past. What makes Taskmaster's origin an important story to tell? Van Lente: Yes, it's the quintessential "secret origin" -- so secret we don't even know what it is! How we got where we are now is important to all of us, I think. Nrama: That said, it doesn't look like this will strictly be an origin story, since there's also the present day issue with a gaggle of supervillains looking to collect the bounty on Taskmaster's head. Obviously the two stories are intertwined with each other, but is the book’s about a 50/50 split? Or is the present day story more of a backdrop to tell Taskmaster's origin? Van Lente: We learn that Taskmaster has secret patrons, "The Org," the super villain underground that connects organizations like Hydra, AIM and The Hand together. We've never heard of this group before but it's existed behind the scenes in the Marvel Universe since World War Two. The Org has acted as Taskmaster's surrogate memory, his banker, and his handler for his entire career. When the rumor starts that he's turned traitor and now works for Steve Rogers, thus explaining his escape from the Siege of Asgard, the Org turns on him and puts a billion-dollar bounty on his head. Taskmaster has to find the Org to get the bounty redacted — but he doesn't remember who or where they are, so he's go backtrack through his entire past to find them again. And that requires him to kill a lot of people. Nrama: And in exploring his origin, is this also perhaps an opportunity to humanize the character a bit? Have him remember some key moments that led him to what he is today? Van Lente: Right. When you're done with this mini, you'll look at him a completely different way. You'll know how he got his powers, why he trains villains for a living, and learn what he had to give up to do that — and that will give him a tragic depth that I think guarantees no one will look at him the same way after. Nrama: Given that billion-dollar bounty, what recognizable characters might show up to try and colelct? Seems like an opportunity to get lots of folks in there. Van Lente: Every villain team in the Marvel U is after him, basically anyone Taskmaster ever trained. So we're going to see Hydra, AIM, Ultimatum, Sons of the Serpent, Lords of the Living Lightning, the Secret Empire, the Cyber-Ninja … as well as a couple groups I made up. As for guest stars, how about Steve Rogers and Captain America? Nick Fury? And the Secret Avengers — I hear they're kind of popular right now. But there are some great new villains introduced too, including the Don of the Dead (your new favorite Marvel character of 2010, I predict), the Town Where Everyone Is Hitler, and the mysterious Redshirt. Nrama: You've said that this story is kind of a spy/espionage one, which coming from The Incredible Hercules and the upcoming Chaos War stuff seems to be a little bit of a different milieu for you. What kind of books/comics/TV shows/movies/etc. inspired you along the way? Van Lente: This is right in my wheelhouse. I started out at Marvel with revamping the Scorpion as a super-espionage agent in the pages of Amazing Fantasy. I've always been a huge spy fan, from the novels of Ian Fleming to The Avengers TV show. Nrama: How do you personally see Taskmaster as a character? He's nearly exclusively fought on the wrong side, but it's always as a mercenary instead of just being strictly “evil.” He also showed signs of having at least some semblance of nobility in Siege — though, that may just have been relative in comparison to, say, Norman Osborn. Van Lente: And who knows, since he's trying to beat the bad guys this time, and all the people he's trained are trying to killed him, while trying to save the life of the woman who's inadvertently been pulled into this plot against him, maybe after this we'll actually see … gasp … a heroic Taskmaster in the MU? Don't get me wrong, he'll still be a complete bastard. But maybe he'll be a complete bastard on our side. Nrama: And since villains are traditionally a hard sell in solo stories, what makes Taskmaster a character that works in his own book? Van Lente: Sometimes the hardest sells are the most rewarding. We have a guy trying to reclaim his past here — that's a motivation anyone can relate to. And he also can fight like Spider-Man. And Iron Fist. And Captain America. And 20 other super heroes you've never heard of. That makes for a killer combination of a story. Nrama: How has working again with Jefte Palo been — someone you collaborated with over on Web of Spider-Man? Van Lente: A blast! He's turned his best work thus far, and I think it'll really turn some heads. Jean-Francois is doing great on colors too. Nrama: Bonus question — it's just "Taskmaster," right? I've seen "the Taskmaster," but that never looks quite right. Van Lente: Agreed. We'll leave articles to The Goddamn Batman. What are your predictions for TASKMASTER's past?

Read my previous post: Sovryn, Babelfish, & RSK Network... oh my! [#GetInMyDeLorean]
A heuristic can be a valuable tool for assessing complex information and taking decisive action. However, a flawed heuristic is often simply a shortcut to failure. I've recently begun to consider market capitalization as the defining metric for analyzing potential growth. I developed the #DeLoreanMethod as a heuristic for exploring short-term future growth potential based on market cap alone. I've written about it in, "Key Observations of Meta Market Cap. What is the DeLorean Method?" And I've also begun a post series demonstrating how I've been applying the #DeLoreanMethod:
> The "Secret Sauce" for identifying deep value in Low-Cap cryptocurrencies is not so secret #FluxCapacitorHyperGrowth (Part I of III)
> Actually Applying the "Secret Sauce" to find deep value in micro-cap coins #FluxCapacitorHyperGrowth (Part II of III)
> Part III of III is still being written... I'll have to remember to come back and link it here once it's been published
The #DeLoreanMethod has thus far been a helpful heuristic (even if overly simplistic) for evaluating value based on market capitalization. Using the #DeLoreanMethod has led me to some excellent value coins, although I have overlooked some critical components of market capitalization in my heuristic and projections. I have since realized that, by virtue of their respective definitions, the most fundamental aspects of price also apply to market capitalization. I'll try to elaborate, but these concepts are fairly complex and I'm not sure that I can convey them adequately. So, please consider this post to be exploratory rather than instructional.
If I were a high level investment wizard I would probably have a lot more money to show for it. But if I can properly understand the illusive nuances of market capitalization, price, and supply... I may have a chance of continuing to outperform Bitcoin (which is what I've managed to do in my Robinhood portfolio over the past 3 years). Otherwise, what's the point of all this? Why not just buy BTC and sleep better at night? It's a legitimate question for me even now, because I can't really attribute my past success to my new #DeLoreanMethod system or my own wisdom or investment philosophy. My next post is going to be about how I grew $600 into $25,000 in 3 years trading crypto and stocks in my Robinhood account. I'm excited to finish writing it because I'm not even sure exactly how it happened and I certainly wasn't thinking much at all about market cap during that time.
So hopefully, now that I'm thinking in more nuanced terms about #MetaMarketCap, I can do better than 4,160% over the next 3 years. 40x is really nice, but I would love to see 100x and 1,000x returns in my portfolio over the next 3 years. With the capital I have already accrued, that kind of return could really change my life. If you follow my blog, hopefully you'll see it happen and maybe we'll even ride some of the same bulls. Alright, let's review the relationship between market cap, price, and supply so that we can get on towards a more nuanced understanding of market capitalization.
Market Cap, Price, & Supply
Definitions of Market Cap (MC), Price (P), & Supply (S):
Market Cap (MC) = Price (P) x Supply (S)
Price (P) = Market Cap (MC) / Supply (S)
Supply (S) = Market Cap (MC) / Price (P)
Studying these simple definitions has given me key insights but I need to revisit their interconnected relationships in order to reach a more nuanced understanding of market capitalization. Let's use a hypothetical Block 2 The Future coin ($B2TF) with a market cap of $100 Mil, a price of $100, and a supply of 1,000,000.
Hypothetical B2TF Coin (MC, P, & S):
$100 Mil (MC) = $100 (P) x 1,000,000 (S)
$100 (P) = $100 Mil (MC) / 1,000,000 (S)
1,000,000 (S) = $100 Mil (MC) / $100 (P)
We can more readily observe the interdependent relationship between market cap, price, and supply by plugging in hypothetical values into these equations. From here we're able to make the transition to thinking of value in terms of market capitalization, as opposed to simply thinking of value in terms of price. Defining value only in terms of price leads us to the cheapest coins with the highest supply.
If we define value in terms of price alone, we would see the most value in the coins at the very bottom of Coinmarketcap.com (with the lowest market capitalization) and generally the smallest price and highest supply. Of course, we know these are mostly failed projects and "shit coins", so there's not a lot of value there and we can generally see that pretty quickly. However, defining value solely in terms of price, also leads to another potentially more subtle folly.
Does Price = Value
If we think of value only in terms of price, we neglect to perceive the value of a higher price supported by a lower supply. So we may overlook low market cap gems with a low supply because the price seems too high. This is why it's important to stop seeing value only in terms of price. Price is an important metric, but only when we control for the variable of supply. In this way, we may come to view market cap as a sort of expression of price which controls for supply. The fundamental difference between conceptualizing of value in terms of market cap, as opposed to price, is the consideration of supply.
If supply and price determine market cap, and every coin has a different supply and price, then how can we conduct an "apples to apples" evaluation of coins? This is what led us to develop the #DeLoreanMethod and the concept of GC[x] or Growth Ceiling Multipliers. GC[x] is a simple construct for estimating a coin's maximum short-term price multiplier based on a comparison between its present market cap and a projected maximum future market cap relative to top performing coins in the same market sector over the short-term.
Recall our hypothetical $B2TF coin and imagine a hypothetical competing blog coin called, Successful Blog Coin ($SBC). $SBC has a market cap of $1 Bil compared to my hypothetical $B2TF coin, with a market cap of just $100 Mil. If I project that my $B2TF coin has the potential to grow to at least equal the market cap of $SBC (with a market cap of $1 Bil), then the GC[x] (Growth Ceiling Multiplier) for $B2TF is 10x. So the price of $B2TF could grow from $100 to $1,000 if $B2TF catches up with the market cap of the $SBC.
At the simplest level, this is what we're doing with the #DeLoreanMethod. However, we base our market cap projections on understanding of key elements of Meta Market Cap. We're not simply conducting a 1:1 comparison of coins. We're defining a projected future market cap of a coin, based on our knowledge of the greater cryptocurrency market cap as well as the stock market and fiat market caps.
Fundamentals of Price = Fundamentals of Market Cap
We often see technical chart analysis and speculative discussions of price. Everyone is trying to guess whether the price will go up or down based on past performance. We can use moving-average based trading indicators like a Relative Strength Index or Bollinger Bands to evaluate price. And we can draw trend lines to extrapolate possible future price targets for support and resistance. We see cup and handle patterns in the charts and angry breakout squeezes and so-forth. But all of this discussion is seeking to anticipate the future price that the market will agree to pay.
That's the critical part we often overlook in all of the complexity and evaluation. The market sets the price when two parties agree to a transaction. This is the simple beauty of truly free markets. I won't go off on a tangent now about how the criticisms of corporate crony markets calling themselves free don't apply to pure capitalism which allows the market to define prices. But then I'd have to give a defense of pure capitalism in the face of price gauging and monopolies and I'm not prepared to get into that here.
The point is that as consumer level investors, we don't often contemplate how price is established. When we go to a market and see a present price, we can either decide to buy or sell at or around that price with a market order, or we can place a limit order to buy or sell at a specified price. So when our orders are filled, we set the price. Some exchanges report the price as the last transaction price and others report the price as the average between the highest bid and the lowest ask. So we can begin to conceive of the price of a given commodity, security, asset, service, or good as the price the market is willing to pay at that moment.
In some cases there are overhead costs or material value which define a minimum market price for a commodity, service, or good. However, with "paper investments" like stocks, and perhaps even more so with cryptocurrencies, the price can be almost entirely speculative. I won't go into a whole rant about how utility tokens shouldn't be defined as securities and how people really shouldn't be trading utility tokens like securities or on platforms which regulate them as securities. We can save that conversation for another day, although I did write about it in my post, Chuck E Cheese's sells unregistered securities & LBRY sells utility tokens.
Suffice it to say cryptocurrencies do not represent any ownership in a corporation or claim to its material property in the event of a liquidation. For this reason, most cryptocurrencies should not be defined as securities. Moreover, the absence of a claim to ownership of property in the event of insolvency, is another factor which makes cryptocurrency an inherently more volatile and speculative market. Therefore, if the price or a cryptocurrency can be almost entirely speculative, and the market cap is defined by the price and supply, then the market cap will move in tandem with the speculative fluctuation of the price.
There is a Hard Cap on Fiat Market Cap, But We Can Still Raise The Roof in Speculative Markets!
With highly speculative markets, at a certain point the only resistance against infinite price increase is the opportunity to buy other things of value. So people begin to look around and say, "hey I can buy a house with all of this Bitcoin". Then they do that and the price gradually corrects as those earliest to the market begin to discover all of the things they would rather have instead of paper stocks or digital coins representing money. Then a new cycle of investors enter and the process starts all over again.
Meanwhile, the HODLer resists the temptation to sell for flashy things in the real world, as he watches the market repeatedly churning out new cycles of investors as the price support steadily rises with each cycle. However, since price is subject to the whims of the speculative market, and market cap is defined by price and supply, then fluctuations in price don't just have a direct impact on the market cap, they reflexively define the market cap.
Of course, we should all be aware of this information already. It's self-evident. However, revisiting the definitions of price and market cap have helped me attain a greater comprehension of the principles of #MetaMarketCap. For example, it is apparent to me now that the market cap of fiat currencies is a relatively static inflationary figure which we can express as having a value of ~$120 Trillion USD (even though there are only ~$20 Trillion fiat US Dollars in existence).
The market cap of all fiat currencies defines the total amount of fiat currency in the world, but it does not define the total amount of value in the world. We can express the value of stocks and cryptocurrencies in terms of dollars and we often do. However, when we do this, we observe that the market capitalization of all stocks can be expressed as ~$90 Trillion USD, even though there are only ~$20 Trillion fiat US Dollars in existence.
The market cap of all fiat currencies defines the total amount of fiat currency in the world, but it does not define the total amount of value in the world.

Bare Science Overview
“Naked Science: An Unconventional Guide to alternate vitality,” by Michael Shellenberger is an entertaining book that gives a speedy and quick explanation of the power is generated, exactly what it really is and the way that it functions out.
Mcdougal lays bare all the urban myths surrounding energy, and therefore that you don’t have to become a scientist to grasp how this particular works. He clarifies why alternative-energy will not produce as much pollution as conventional energy, but it can produce carbon dioxide in relation to traditional electricity sources.
“Naked Science,” from Michael Shellenberger, is a speedy and straightforward explanation of how electricity is produced, exactly what it really is and how it worksout. The author puts bare each of the myths surrounding alternative energy, and therefore that you don’t need to become a scientist to even understand how it works.
He explains why alternative-energy doesn’t produce the maximum amount of contamination as conventional energy, however it does produce carbon dioxide dioxide in relation to normal energy sources. He describes why alternative-energy will not produce the maximum amount of contamination as traditional energy,” however why it can produce carbon dioxide dioxide than conventional power resources.
“Naked Science: A Unconventional Guide to Alternative Energy” additionally comprises a range of other interesting reasons for electricity, like the benefits of solar energy, atomic power along with different ways of producing energy without using fossil fuels. He explains how renewable power is established in character, such as the wind capacity inside the atmosphere, and also how it is used today. He goes as far as to describe the different kinds of energy, such as geothermal, water and wind, in addition to energy out of sunlight. It’s genuinely interesting things, and also the author really does a wonderful job detailing everything he writes.
I particularly enjoyed the part oil rates and oil spills. As I’ve discussed https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/jackabramsX1 elsewhere, the united states of america includes a very poor background https://www.epdmcoatings.com/qa/user/jaboo01518 once it has to do with oil spills. Michael Shellenberger describes the way the amount of oil affects countries, and also by what method the price of petroleum has an effect on the American economy.
The publication also takes about the many political issues http://sciencemission.com/forum/index.php?page=topicview&id=website-comment-topics%2Fwriting-company_2&post_id=9392&redirected=1 surrounding different energy and the way http://www.asafeplace.co.uk/isoracingv2/messageboard/teemz.cgi?board=_master&action=opentopic&forum=Manufacturers_Info&topic=50 in which they influence the maturation of different energy. He also clarifies how politics may influence technology development. In a few cases, he describes why technological innovation in some specific areas could be controlled by governments, as opposed to by the public sector.
The book will appeal to a vast array of subscribers, but that I really did find that it isn’t entirely straightforward. And that the author doesn’t fully deal with simple fact alternative energy doesn’t produce the exact very same volume of contamination as conventional energy.
Overall,”Nude Science: A Integral Guide to Alternative Energy” can be just a fantastic book that enters a number of the topics surrounding alternative energy. It provides a quick and quick explanation for why alternate electricity isn’t always as bad as folks make it out to become. The publication is absolutely a fantastic read, and you will feel prompted to get started researching alternative energy more once you finish reading . You are able to purchase the book online for quite a reasonable value, also you won’t regret it.
This publication might not be for everybody. It isn’t the type of book that is going to modify your own life. But if you’re looking for a superb introduction to alternative energy as well as the various uses of this this publication is well worth a browse.
The author has done a lot to improve his preceding book,”The Energy magic formula.” This one is much more up to date and insightful article. He provides a synopsis of the means by which the planet operates, the foundation of energy, and how the world works now. The author also offers tips https://portingteam.com/frontpage/_/news/103-best-native-mac-games-link-r58 for protecting power.
This book is absolutely some thing that’s worth reading. It’s well crafted, well researched, and also will interest anybody interested in energy.
I gave the book a good rating because it had been enjoyable to read, and that I expect the reader’s critique is going to be enjoyable to you also. Best of luck with your hunt.
