Science has now confirmed what I've known for years. Women are most attracted to the traits of psychopaths. On the surface, they appear confident and charming but underneath they are selfish and manipulative. I first realized this in my 20s when I noticed a pattern of women complaining about how guys used or mistreated them. In some cases, it would happen over and over until they no longer trusted men. Girls always seemed to go for the type of guys that don't actually have the traits women claim to want in a relationship. To this day, I still hear women complain about the exact same things. I recently went on a date with a beautiful 23 year old who told me that her fiancee cheated on her throughout their entire relationship and she now has trust issues. I tried explaining to her that she just went for the wrong type of guy but unfortunately the damage is done. Another study also shows that psychopaths have better reproductive success for the same reasons. Basically a strong desire to use women coupled with a willingness to lie and the ability to manipulate.
Now we can all stop wondering why the world is going to shit.

Monday 30 May: at last, Besançon, where 50 (yes, 50) years ago I spent the summer doing a course at the university. The city seems to have spread enormously since then, and I walked through the vast commercial outskirts in wind and rain.
But to backtrack a week or so. I was sad to leave Châlons,
where I had encountered nothing but kindness. The David Tennant lookalike physio went to Paris, and handed me over to his colleague, Eric the Brutal. Eric was kind if sadistic and we laughed and had coffee together as he manipulated my knee till I cried out. “This will hurt a lot for two or three days,” he said cheerfully as he inflicted more pain. I asked him if he thought I’d get to Rome. “I hope so”, he said, “But I don’t think so.”
But a combination of his ministrations, much prayer and many good wishes have worked the miracle, and I have walked on with not too much discomfort for more than a week now.
So Saturday 21 May saw me whizz over the 100km that I needed to make up in a little under two hours (including a change of train). Those who like me travel on the Norwich to London line will find the idea of a punctual, clean, and uncrowded train something of a novelty. The train took me to the pretty town of Bar sur Aube, with its half-timbered houses. I stayed with Josette Bonnevie, who welcomes pilgrims to her house, and who fed me the healthiest meal so far.
Alas, she said, “Je m’appelle Bonnevie, mais ma vie n’est pas bonne”.
She was recently widowed, and we talked of how difficult Sundays are when you live alone – and everyone else seems to be with family.
That Sunday my first day’s walk was a short stage in pouring rain along muddy rutted forest tracks to Clairvaux, where St Bernard founded his abbey in 1115. I had imagined a pretty valley with graceful remains of the 12th-century abbey buildings (think Rievaulx), even though I knew the abbey was now a high-security prison. I decided to take the tour that afternoon. It was a dismal prospect in the pitiless rain. Having surrendered my passport (security), I and about 20 others were escorted round the dilapidated 18th-century (nothing remains of the 12th-century) edifices, with crumbling masonry and broken windows. It was cold. It was uninviting. It was grim.
The guide was an expert on all things Cistercian, and a 75-minute tour doubled in length. As his enthusiasm mounted my blood sugar level descended. I wasn’t quite sure I’d survive the Cistercian word avalanche.
Back to the two lovely old nuns who offer hospitality to pilgrims and to those visiting prisoners. They soon brought my blood sugar level up with an enormous supper, and opened a bottle of Bordeaux just for me.
Next morning Soeur Pierrette, who had spent her life in Africa in leprosy missions, gave me a sprig of lily of the valley. “By the time this fades,” she said, “You’ll already be far away.” I cried again.
The region round Clairvaux is rapidly becoming an employment desert: industries and shops are closing, villages are dying, and the threatened closure of the prison will remove 250 local jobs. All through the following week I walked through dead villages and towns, where shops and businesses are for sale. I did indeed feel a “pilgrim in this barren land”.
The next day the rain forecast for mid morning held off till I arrived at Châteauvillain. As I walked, the cold wind riffling through the fields of barley made them look like newly unplaited hair. One of my favourite smells is the incense of young barley after rain. Châteauvillain would have been worth a good look, with its towers, fortifications, narrow alleys, and its ancient lavoir, but the sky turned black and the rain streamed through the streets. I stayed with an English couple who run a bar, restaurant and B and B. The cooking was good, but I was the sole occupant. These towns are suffering, possibly terminally.
Oh the interminable dripping forests of the next day! Dark, forbidding, evoking atavistic fears…on and on they stretched, the imagination giving rise to all sorts of evils. I lost my way, of course. If a guidebook says “Fork left on the third grassy track after the T-junction of tracks” there is some room for error. With error comes terror. Not a soul does one see, the only living beings the magnificently-antlered stags which occasionally cross one’s path. But…the guardian angel appeared on cue: a forester with two dogs, who accompanied me the kilometer or so back to where I should have been. And no-one else did I see all day.
After that a veritable crowd of pilgrims in one evening – two! Edith a Parisienne of 73, going to Lausanne, and Edward (74) a taciturn and monoglot Scot on his third Via Francigena. At 69 I am a mere babe.
On to Langres, perched high on its hill, with a monumental and icy cold cathedral. Langres is the birthplace of Diderot, the great figure of the French Enlightenment. Here I stayed in the presbytery, in a little flat for pilgrims with a shower and basic cooking facilities. By now the weather had turned very hot (there seems to be no in between). As I sat the next day in the shade of a church eating my crust a lady going to the cemetery asked me in for fruit juice and coffee. We talked at length about the economic depression of this area – and of the difficulties of widowhood, a theme which seems common to many of my exchanges.
The next day, heading to Champlitte (also on a hill, of course),
the weather became even hotter and more humid, with the promise of storms. I asked some people sitting eating a leisurely lunch outside their house for some water. I was made to sit down until I was cooler, given coffee as well. People seem surprised that anyone should think of going to Rome on foot, yet so many do. Again, the kindness gives me heart. That night I was lodged in a building belonging to a vigneron, in fact in the kitchen used by his two student workers. The shower was over the road in a garage – note to self: take clothes with you next time.
There was a storm that night. The next day humidity and temperature rose higher.
I walked along the banks of the broad and tranquil Saône to my lodging. This was the only time in all my walks that I felt it prudent to put a chair against my door. Why? Just a feeling that the owner of the gîte was slightly….weird. There was thunder and rain, and the weather broke.
And so, by easy stages via Gy and Cussey sur l’Ognon to Besançon, where I shall take it easy before the vertical challenges of the Jura and the Alps. Here the rain falls in torrents from a black sky, its swathes obscuring the surrounding mountains. There are other pilgrims around: Chris Jackson from Derbyshire crippled temporarily by blisters; Geoff Collier from Connecticut. Paths cross, briefly intertwine, separate again.
Who knows what will become of us, where we shall get to. I am aware of the tremendous support I am receiving from everyone. So far so good with the knee, and one day at a time. The next post will, as usual, depend on the availability of wifi. From where I cannot say.

The world’s a scary place. Wars, famines, corrupt politicians, terrorism, imploding economies — the list goes on. There are plenty of issues worth fearing, which is why a subset of the nation is preparing for what they see as impending calamity.
These individuals, dubbed “preppers,” are stocking up on food, guns, water and other items that they may need should the economy erupt or a massive natural disaster strike. With so many possibilities for problematic occurrences, these individuals want to ensure that they can live beyond any tragically defining moments.
Most preppers are fearful of the prospects of no governmental structure — something that some see as a possibility amidst economic woes and political strife. Back in 2009, a Newsweek report described this phenomenon:
In the late 1990s, Y2K fears brought survivalism to the mainstream, only to usher it back out again when disaster didn’t strike. (Suddenly, unused survival gear began showing up in classifieds and on eBay.) A decade later, “preppers” are what you might call survivalism’s Third Wave: regular people with jobs and homes whose are increasingly fearful about the future…
Watch some preppers discuss their lifestyle, below:
Reuters published a report this weekend, highlighting some of the preppers out there who are stockpiling and awaiting what they see as the inevitable. To begin, there’s Patty Tegeler, a 57-year-old who lives in Virginia’s Appalachian Mountains.
“In an instant, anything can happen,” she said. “And I firmly believe that you have to be prepared.” Tegeler’s home has essentially been prepared for whatever may come. She has a large generator, water tanks, portable heaters and enough freeze-dried food to lock herself inside and to keep nourished for two years.

Yes it is. This downs its special attack and raises it's speed. Abra and it's evolutions have two good natures: Modest and Timid. Modest raises it's special attack, but lowers it's attack stat. This isn't a problem since abra and it's evolutions are special sweepers and have a low attack stat already. Timid raises its speed but lowers it's attack stat. Again this isn't a problem since it doesn't lower it's awesome special attack but it's already embarrassing attack stat that would not even be used anyway. Keep in mind, never, ever use a jolly abra, kadabra or alakazam .
Hope this helped

Inspired by Greenthorn's werewolf love thread as seen here: http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=33697.0
How about a werewolf roleplay? I've played werewolves before and had a good time with it. Rather than have a specific idea going in, what I'd like is for a potential partner to go through the werewolf image thread above and select a picture that inspires them. We can try to hash out a roleplay based on that image.
As long as no two stories are too similar, I'd be willing to do multiple stories.
Feel free to drop me a PM or an IM with your ideas. Thanks.


SYDNEY (MarketWatch) -- Reserve Bank of Australia Governor Glenn Stevens said Monday the bulk of data on the Chinese economy was showing softness, which reflects Europe's woes and the country's own efforts to slow growth.
"There has been some data in China of a materially slower nature in recent times. It's always hard to know if that's persistent or of a temporary nature," he said in a question and answer session.
Recent manufacturing data from China suggests a slower pace of growth rather than outright contraction, he added.
"But there's no doubt the data in China in the past month or six weeks has been on the softer side and that's partly a flow on from weaker demand out of Europe and partly a reflection of the fact they have engendered a slow down," he said.
"All we can do is watch that and try to assess it as time goes by," Stevens added.
The RBA cut interest rates by 50 basis points at the start of May, taking its cash rate target down to 3.75% from 4.25%. Financial markets expect further cuts as domestic growth remains weak.


review 2017 Parktherme 24-hours-swimming
Length by length for a good cause
November 5, 2017, Bad Radkersburg.
At the Parktherme 24-hours swimming in Bad Radkersburg this year's swimming was again for a good cause. There were 450 swimmers from 8 nations, including numerous celebrities from sports, society and entertainment. With 130,000 floated lengths go together with a special funding of the sponsors € 10,000 to light in the dark. The victory was won for the third time in a row by the Styrian defending champion Claudia Müller with an incredible 70 kilometers and Mario Kainz with 67 kilometers. Professional and amateur swimmers have covered 83,750 kilometers since the beginning of the Parktherme 24-hours swimming in 2005. This corresponds to a donation of just under 120,000 euros for a good cause!

FREMONT -- Jill Walters and her teammates were a bit down on themselves after Mansfield St. Peter's beat them by 27 points in their season opener Nov. 16.
But look what St. Joseph Central Catholic's girls basketball team has done since: The Crimson Streaks have won four straight games -- all on the road -- and they've proved they can win without the guard trio of Megan Boukissen, Sondra Beaschler and Molly Wise that led them to 19 victories last season.
"We're really happy," SJCC post Jill Walters said. "I know we lost the first game by quite a bit, but we beat Cardinal Stritch, and they were supposed to win their conference."
The way the Crimson Streaks (4-1) have played so far, they very well could win the Midland Athletic League. They've already defeated Tiffin Calvert and North Baltimore, and their next three games -- two conference -- are at home.
Play continues Friday night against MAL rival Mohawk.
"The next four games will really tell where we're at with Mohawk and New Riegel," SJCC coach Gary Geller said.
Anything is, however, better than continuing to play on the road like SJCC did to start this season. The team's closest game was at Clyde, which the Crimson Streaks beat 53-45, while the rest have required rather long drives.
The Crimson Streaks only have one road game -- at Mansfield Christian -- this month, so they certainly have a chance to take control of their league and improve their record with five December home games.
"I know we're a lot happier about playing at home," Walters said. "The first five away games weren't too great. They all seemed far away and we didn't have a lot of friends come."
Home or away, the Crimson Streaks are playing winning basketball. Senior post Hannah Nagy and Walter, another senior, have accounted for much of SJCC's scoring, and forward Alyse Gonya had her best game of the season, an 18-point effort, in the Crimson Streaks' last win over North Baltimore.
The key to success, Geller said, is for two of those three players to score often.
If only one or none of those players is on, the team will probably struggle like it did against St. Peter's.
"If they shut all of them down, we could be in big trouble," Geller said. "That's what happened against St. Pete's. We struggled getting the ball up the floor and they were pressing so much that our girls didn't play their normal game.
"Since that game, Jill and Hannah have been very consistent."
Extremely consistent. Walters, who finished with 10 points and seven rebounds against St. Peter's, has averaged 13.2 points per game. And she's grabbed at least seven rebounds in four of the five games.
Nagy, meanwhile, scored a season-high 26 points against Stritch, and she's averaged 15.6 points in SJCC's four victories.
Walters and Nagy have also helped the Crimson Streaks bring the ball up the floor, because guards Kelsie Bowling and Kristy Chestnutt are somewhat new to full-time varsity roles.
"I think Hannah and Jill have taken on a leadership role," Geller said. "I see them trying to control things on the floor, even though it's hard to control from a post position. I think they're trying to help the guards feel a little more comfortable."
The guards will feel more comfortable with time, Walters said. In the meantime, the entire lineup will have to help break opposing teams' presses.
Another SJCC player who's seen ample minutes this season is Gonya, a junior who combined for just 12 points in her first four games. But she had her coming out party against North Baltimore, giving the Crimson Streaks a much-needed scoring weapon from outside.
"I think she really just needed the boost of confidence," Walters said of Gonya. "Hopefully, we'll start seeing this more and more from Alyse. We really do need her against teams like New Riegel and Mohawk."

Cleveland, Ohio (June 29, 2018) – Halie Loren made a From the Wild Sky Summer Tour 2018 stop at the Nighttown in Cleveland, OH tonight.Sweet. Sultry. Soulful. These three simple words encapsulate the essence of singer/songwriter Halie Loren and her music.
In the interest of full disclosure, I must admit that I wasn’t familiar with this prodigious young artist until very recently. But after listening to all of her songs on Apple Music and watching several of her videos on YouTube, I was both intrigued and excited to attend her performance and see what she is all about.
During the last 10 years, Halie has earned an international following among jazz aficionados and music enthusiasts. Fueled in part by her facility to sing in multiple languages, Halie’s popularity in Asia and Europe is particularly notable. Her music is best described as being a jazz–pop fusion. No matter whether she’s singing standards from the great American Songbook or her own compositions, however, her music is distinctly her own.
The Alaska native is an outstanding performer who has an amazing ability to connect with a crowd. From her first song to the last, Halie displayed her remarkable talent, her authenticity and vulnerability, and her sheer joy of performing on stage. And the crowd at Nighttown responded accordingly. While they might not have fully known what to expect this night, they were quickly won over. Strangers became fast friends and fans of this amazing artist.
Backed by a terrific trio that included Ariel Pocock (piano and backup vocals), Tim Lekan (bass) and Donnie Patterson (drums), Halie mesmerized the audience as she wove a rich tapestry of sound and emotion that moved every person in the room. On stage, Halie wears her heart on her sleeve, and the Nighttown audience soaked it all up like sponges. It was magical!
During her 20-song set, Halie masterfully blended a compelling mix of jazz and pop standards with original songs from her newly released album, From The Wild Sky. Every standard, while familiar, was also unique. Halie infuses these songs with a freshness that makes the old seem new. In particular, her rendition of the Bobbie Gentry classic, “Ode To Billie Joe“, was, in this writer’s opinion at least, even better than the original. Halie is just that good!
Among her original songs, Halie’s performance of “Noah” bared her soul, as it was just she and the piano in the spotlight for this most personal and moving number. That singular moment in time stands apart as being unforgettable.
Halie Loren is a gifted and passionate talent who deserves a listen. Even for those who may not consider themselves fans of jazz, Halie’s music transcends genres and will undoubtedly make a deep and lasting connection with the listener. And if you have the good fortune to catch her live on tour, soak up every second of the experience like a sponge! She really is that good!!!
Rising Vocal Star and her group make Cleveland debut live at Nighttown! CD Release Event!!
Authenticity and connection have been essential roots of the artistic growth of Halie Loren. Whether injecting the American Songbook with old-school soul or finding a familiar thread of nostalgia in newly-penned originals, the Alaskan-born, award-winning singer/songwriter continues to find new ways to bridge cultures and musical genres.
Halie Loren is truly an international artist. Like her multi-lingual recordings that transcend cultural borders, her art transcends musical genres via a common thread that weaves a rich tapestry. That tapestry connects her original works with pop-smart jazz, flowing into blues, soul and contemporary compositions that are universal, yet deeply personal.
“For the past few years, I have felt more and more drawn to the idea of putting my songwriter self out there in a much bigger way, as a 100% personal form of expression,” explains Loren. “When I write, it’s all about the story and the feelings behind it, but never about the particular style in which it takes shape.”
The result is art in an eclectic form, with soulful compositions reflecting wounded defiance, stubborn love, and hard-earned hopefulness. Her voice connects to the soul of her songwriting, reminding us that there is always beauty to be found, even in the most painful experiences. That powerful personal connection is the driving force behind From the Wild Sky, Halie’s latest and most ambitious album to date. Set for release in April 2018, the album, produced by Troy Miller, features 10 original compositions, as well as a stunning rendition of Roberto Livi’s ‘A Mi Manera’.
“The songs on the album speak to some very meaningful, transformational moments in my life, some of which were inspired from experiencing new discoveries, love and deep loss,” Halie says. “It feels like the most risk-taking and honest art that I’ve ever created, reflecting my spirit and my personal story in a very revealing way.”
The participation of producer Troy Miller (Jamie Cullum, Gregory Porter, Amy Winehouse) was a dream come true for Halie.
“Halie’s songs are some of the most pleasing and melodically beautiful I’ve heard,” says Miller. “So much thought and love has gone into crafting them, and I know that any listener will be left nourished in a very profound way.”
From the Wild Sky promises to weave Halie Loren’s faithful fans into her evolving tapestry, while crossing musical boundaries to forge bonds with diverse audiences worldwide as she has throughout her illustrious career. Her jazz/pop debut in 2008, They Oughta Write a Song, earned Halie an award for ‘best vocal jazz album’ in the JPF Music Awards (2009’s largest independent music awards in the world, with over 42,000 album entries from 160 countries). Her songs have placed at the top in competitions including Billboard World Song Contest, John Lennon Songwriting Contest, and myriad others.
Halie’s powerful connection with her fans has grown through relentless touring in the U.S., Canada, Asia, and Europe. Her music has also dazzled prestigious concert halls, including performances with the Jazz Orchestra of Sicily, the Britt Festival Orchestra in Oregon and the Monroe Symphony in Louisiana

Arrest Made After 'Housewives' Star Kandi Burruss' Fiance Killed in Club Brawl
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that an employee of the club, Fredrick Richardson, was arrested in connection with the death.
Richardson was taken on Friday night to Grady Memorial Hospital. A police spokesman says he will be taken to Fulton County Jail as soon as doctors discharge him.
Fans of the show got to know Jewell, who appeared several times on the popular Bravo program. Burruss would often argue with her mother about her relationship with Jewell, who has children.
A police spokesman says detectives were still "trying to figure out [what happened]. We had a pretty good number of witnesses that are being cooperative," says James Polite.
But the cause of the fight in the parking lot of the club was still not known Saturday, Polite said.Burruss, also an R&B singer who fronted the '90s group Xscape, is understandably devastated by the news.
"I could never in a million years imagine this happening," she said on Twitter. "Please pray for AJ's children. That's who I'm the most concerned 4."
In a recent interview, Burruss said the pair were taking a break from their relationship to work out some issues.

The South African hotel sector looks to be emerging from its post-Soccer World Cup slump based on occupancy and room-rate figures from last year.
Analysts and chief executives in the sector have said companies have turned a corner‚ after a difficult period during which over-supply as a result of development for the 2010 Soccer World Cup led to low occupation rates.
Hotels had struggled to pay back bank funding used during that period. But last year‚ hotels managed to raise room rates without putting downward pressure on occupancy rates growth.
The chief executive for Hospitality and Real Estate Consulting at HTI Consulting‚ Wayne Troughton‚ says a key metric last year was the increase in average daily rates for hotel rooms. "Last year cemented a strong recovery for hotels.
"The fact that across the board we saw increases in the average daily rate for rooms‚ across all stars‚ suggests hotel owners and managers are confident that demand is high."
The average daily rates for rooms in the country increased 10.2% last year‚ according to industry data company STR Global. The company says the main driver was a demand for rooms‚ which allowed companies to raise the rates.
All regions‚ with the exception of the Northern Cape‚ and all classes of hotels grew in terms of both rates and occupancy last year‚ indicating that growth was not solely a result of international leisure tourist arrivals and the weak rand.
"This is a clear indication that growth has occurred in all types of demand: leisure‚ business‚ international and domestic‚" Troughton says. "We predict occupancies for the country will achieve 65% by end-2014‚ with Cape Town achieving in excess of 68%‚ indicating stable recovery to healthy occupancy levels."
The figures show occupancy rates rose 3.6% last year in SA's hotel industry.
Troughton says the five-star market was the hardest hit after the 2010 Soccer World Cup‚ because of the high proportion of supply growth in this segment but added that it had shown the strongest recovery.
Cape Town five-star hotels have recorded impressive growth of 22.9% in 2013‚ according to STR Global‚ which continued and accelerated in January.
"This is extremely positive and is set to continue. Reasons for this are the continued growth of overseas travellers‚ the weak rand and the lower base from which growth occurred."
The chief executive of JSE-listed Hospitality Property Fund‚ Andrew Rogers‚ says he has been surprised by the extent of demand for business conferencing. "Off the bat‚ Cape Town and some other provinces have had incredible tourism seasons over the summer. I am really impressed by demand for conferencing," he said.
The attraction of the weak rand for foreign businesses has not worked itself into hotel numbers yet. "The business traveller started coming here towards the end of last year and has continued this year‚" Rogers says.
"Many of the contracts related to this work would have been drawn up months ago‚ before the rand weakened. We should see a further rand effect with even more conferencing. We have not even seen pre-national election conferencing yet."
Rogers says that volume tracks rates‚ and since rates rose substantially last year‚ occupancy growth should pick up and ease the discrepancy between rates and occupancy growth.
"The key is that revenue per available room is rising‚ which suggests hotels are set for a very good 2014," he adds.
Growth in revenue per available room takes into account occupancy growth and average room rate growth. This key measure grew 14.7% for the hotel industry overall in the second six months of last year.
Even though last year showed a recovery for hotels‚ Clifford Ross‚ the chief executive of The City Lodge Group‚ says some factors may have skewed the sector's performance.
"While there were certain areas or regions that performed better last year than in 2012‚ this was not all over the country‚" Ross says.
"Areas where international tourists visit‚ like Cape Town‚ did better than in the prior year‚ but this was only in the second half of 2013.
"The early part of last year was also skewed by the African Cup of Nations soccer tournament‚ hosted by South Africa‚ which boosted occupancy in areas like the Eastern Cape and Mpumalanga and that won't happen again for some time.
He believes business travel last year was affected by slow economic growth‚ labour unrest in the mining industry and manufacturing industries.
"December was naturally not a normal month and was very skewed in the Gauteng region as a result of the passing of Nelson Mandela‚" Ross says. "This will not happen again‚ so should be discounted."
"In fact‚ uncertainty in South Africa this year could damage the hotel sector‚" Ross said.
"The hotel and hospitality industry is subject to the vagaries of the business travel and tourism markets‚ and these are in an uncertain space at the moment‚" he says.
"What with strikes‚ civil protests‚ electioneering and upcoming elections‚ interest rate increases‚ petrol price hikes and unusually wet weather‚ business confidence is likely to remain subdued in the lead-up to May's election.
"Beyond that‚ we believe occupancies will improve because of a lack of new accommodation capacity coming on stream and improved demand‚" he says.
Rogers says that very few new hotels are under construction in South Africa‚ which will favour owners of existing ones.
"There will be deals to build new hotels over the next three years or so‚ but as it stands we have demand which is outstripping supply‚ so those companies that already own hotels are set to benefit.
"Banks are also being more careful in funding hotel businesses and I think there is now a slim chance of sudden supply coming to market," he added.

Guzman, now 19, grew up in New York City and moved to Newark when he was 15. He dropped out of high school and was trying to decide what to do with the rest of his life, he said, when he saw a recruitment brochure from the National Guard.
"I wanted to have a feeling of belonging, to feel like I am needed," Guzman said one day early this summer.
So he signed up. He spent last summer in basic training at Fort Benning, Ga., and became a private in the New Jersey Army National Guard.
It did not take long for the Guard to let him know how much he was needed. He was notified last year that he would be deployed to Iraq as a member of the 50th Infantry Brigade Combat Team.
"It was a surprise to me," he said one day as he was helping load the truck that would take his unit's gear from the armory in Newark to Fort Bliss, Texas. "I didn't really think I would be deployed so soon."
He had a lot to do to get ready.
Guzman was working at PNY Technologies Inc., a manufacturer of computer components in Parsippany. He gave his two weeks' notice before he reported for duty, he said.
He left his car with his mom and said goodbye to his friends.
"It felt like there was so much to do in such a little time," he said. "I had to get everything lined up for me being away for a whole year, and I had to get my mind right."
Guzman said he hopes to put his military experience to use some day. He plans to go back to school and become a police officer.
But first there is a job to do.
He has been training with his unit at Fort Bliss since June. The unit is scheduled to leave within days for Kuwait. From Kuwait, it will head into Iraq.
Guzman barely gave Iraq a thought when he made the decision to join the military, he said.
But his unit is shipping out, and his battle buddies need him with them. For that, he said, he is happy.

The week in dysfunctional woke school boards
And another insane school board detected by our woke radar
Woke Watch Canada Newsletter is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support our work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.
I am trying to accomplish a number of things through this ongoing series examining dysfunctional Canadian school boards, and new ideas are always emerging. Each day the Woke Watch Canada school board investigation takes new shape as I learn new things and broaden my perspective on the possibilities. One very important message I wish to communicate is that school board trustees, administrators, and directors of education will not be permitted to continue operating in the shadows where for too long they have not been held accountable for their actions.
We are watching and scrutinizing them. We are analyzing the presentations they give at board meetings, examining their conduct toward parents, exposing their mis-use of procedure and policy to silence dissent (which occurs often from parents and some rogue “disagreeable” trustees), and documenting their brazen disregard of liberal and democratic norms.
When a school board is colonized, that is, becomes hegemonically woke, it ceases to be a democratic organization. School boards are particularly susceptible to illiberal and undemocratic subversion by political radicals because trustee elections are not on the radar of far too many Canadians. Our education system is in shambles because radicals who disregard the wishes of parents are able to gain entrance to board positions through an electoral process. An electoral process that most Canadians without children in K-12 school don’t even realize they can vote in.
The radicals are not always successful, but often enough they are. Behind the scenes they organize to ensure that woke candidates run, and are supported on popular and innocuous sounding platforms involving social justice sloganeering. They conspire to bring about a majority of woke trustees. Once the board is hegemonic, they work to bring woke policies into schools at every level, and push out any non-woke trustees who challenge them. During the process, parents who question them are disregarded, bullied, or otherwise silenced.
Woke policies are enshrouded in nice sounding terms. Here are a few of those terms: Social Justice. Equity, Diversity, Inclusion. Social Emotional Learning. Anti-racism. Culturally Responsive and Relevant Pedagogy. Critical Race Theory. Sustainable Development Goals (UN).
These are but a few to look out for, there are many more, and new ones are always cropping up. But make no mistake, they all hold the central and signature character of wokeism, and as nice as things may appear on the outside, do not be fooled. These are the policies that result in the teaching of anti-science gender nonsense, or age-inappropriate sexualized graphic novels being made available in school libraries, or students being expelled from school for stating known facts, or boys being welcomed into girls' change rooms, or in a teacher who wears vulgar oversized prosthetic breasts being welcomed into a shop class.
These radical ideas explain why students aren’t being appropriately disciplined for bad, even violent, behaviour, and why we can’t have police in schools in the form of trained School Resource Officers (SRO) - in spite of the fact that a district like the Toronto District School Board is experiencing unprecedented levels of violence at school. This includes shootings and stabbings (some resulting in deaths), and a wide spectrum of violent incidents involving fights with students and teachers. I’ve heard stories of kids being pushed down stairwells or swarmed by mobs of violent bullies.I’ve also heard stories of kids committing suicide at school - but because of laws protecting children and families, many of these things are not reported in the media. There is no way for Canadians to know the full scope of the crisis in Canadian education, and this series aims to remedy that.
Over the last couple of weeks, Woke Watch Canada (WWC) published a number of articles which detailed some of the appalling treatment by woke school board trustees toward concerned parents and non-woke trustees. Because of the generous donations from parents and concerned citizens, I have now taken up this work full time (more on this below).
A review of the week
First, regular WWC contributor, Igor Stravinsky (an anonymous Canadian high school teacher), wrote three essays analyzing the Peel District School Board’s (PDSB) Supervisor’s Final Report - a report that Igor found to be “a historically revisionist and purely political document which attempts to justify devastating ideologically-based actions taken by the board over the last 2-and-a-half years and presents these actions as what was in the best interests of students, parents, and the tax-paying public.” You can read Igor’s three great articles here, here, and here.
On February 2nd, I co-wrote an article about the Greater Essex County District School Board (GECDSB), with concerned parent Elton Robinson. Elton is also an organizer of Parents For Parents Rights, one of many concerned parent groups organizing to hold woke school boards accountable. In our article we examine a disturbing instance at a school board meeting in Windsor where a parent (who has a disability), as she stood at the podium delivering a delegation, was bullied and treated with condescension by trustees.
On February 8th, another anonymous Canadian teacher, and regular WWC contributor, Not Woke Teacher, wrote an alarming analysis about the woke propaganda posters (under the brand name “unlearn),” displayed in the halls and classrooms of Canadian schools. The mixed and confusing messages of these posters is pure identity politics and has no place in K-12 education.
On February 13th, I wrote an essay about the Ontario Public School Boards Association’s (OPSBA) first post-pandemic Public Education Symposium. This article focused on the obsession with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which are not taught objectively. Students are told to be global citizens, and that they must support and promote the UN’s SDGs in order to do so.
On February 15th, I wrote about Josh Alexander, a 16-year old Catholic school student who was “suspended then officially excluded from school. Bullied by other students - told to go ‘kill himself,’ arrested by the police for trying to return to class - effectively ostracized. The same woke movement that inspires bullies across Canadian cancel culture is ultimately responsible for this travesty.”
“If you are a trustee, and you ask about the number of genders teachers are required to know, or about the term “white supremacy,”- like Trustee Linda Stone did when she explained to an Ontario school board that it was derogatory - you will be accused of denying the “right to exist” of historically marginalized communities.”
I also wrote about Linda Stone’s situation on February 17th in a piece called The term "White Supremacy" is a derogatory reference to Canada's majority population. In this piece I examine the Motte & Bailey aspects of comments made by DDSB Trustee Shailene Panylo during the board meeting where it was undemocratically decided by woke trustees to remove Linda Stone (who is an elected representative) from board meetings for the remainder of the year. From that piece:
“The Motte is what they tell you, but the Bailey is what they really mean. They go to great lengths to hide the fact that they speak (and operate) with hidden meanings and agendas. But they do. And it does not take much to identify exactly how they do it.”
On February 16th, I wrote about the previous night's much anticipated Halton District School Board (HDSB) meeting. This is the board that made international headlines because it allowed, and continues to allow, a trans-identifying male teacher to wear vulgar oversized prosthetic breasts while teaching shop class to teenagers. Discussed in that piece is a promising parents group called Students First Ontario. Rishi Bandhu is the lawyer for the group. He gave an excellent delegation where he covered in-depth rules around the school council (parents council), explaining to the board that the school council acts as a “check and balance” for the HDSB. The board didn’t seem to accept or appreciate Rishi’s message. In typical fashion, they deferred responsibility for their improper conduct.
Plans for the week
This coming week I will be looking at several other situations involving woke school boards, and what parents are doing, or should start doing, to hold them accountable. One board that has come on my radar is in Chilliwack, B.C. I will have more to say about them this week so stay tuned. In the meantime I will leave you with a video edited together by another parents group called Action4Canada. This video is a montage of the appalling treatment that parents were subjected to by Chair, Willow Reichelt during a February 7th board meeting.
Below is a description from Action4Canada of the February 7th meeting, and here is a link to the montage video on Rumble (WARNING, it may make you furious):
“At a School Board meeting on Feb. 7, 2023, in Chilliwack BC, the Chair, Willow Reichelt, rudely censored, demeaned and bullied parents, concerned citizens and fellow board members, who were attempting to present information on legitimate matters of great concern. Trustee Reichelt is in breach of her duties according to the Robert’s Rules of Order, the Chilliwack’s SD Policy 130 Trustee Code of Conduct, and the professional standards set for Trustees by the BCSTA. Please contact the School Board and the Superintendent and demand she step down or be removed.”
All of this investigative journalism is made possible by the generous donations of WWC readers. I thank everyone who has contributed so far, either by upgrading to a paid WWC subscription or by donating through our Donor Box which was set up as a Canadian School Board Investigation Fund. The financial support WWC is receiving from donors is a vitally important aspect of this vitally important work. Please do consider making a contribution to Woke Watch Canada (details below).
Thanks for reading. For more school board analysis from this author, read The Peel District School Board and White Supremacy.
There are now two ways to support Woke Watch Canada through donations:
1) By subscribing to the paid version of the Woke Watch Canada Newsletter for - $5/month or $50/year
2) By donating to the Canadian School Board Investigation fund, which is raising money to expand Woke Watch Canada’s research and investigation into dysfunctional Canadian school boards.

US company defends mobile phone `cockroach backpack` app
London: A US-based company has defended itself against cruelty claims over their device called "electronic backpack" which controls the movements of cockroaches.
The Backyard Brains company, which has developed the device which fits onto a cockroach allowing its movements to be controlled by a mobile phone app , said that the device is intended to get children to be interested in neuroscience, the BBC reported.
Critics have slammed their stance as "disingenuous" as the procedure to attach the device on the cockroach involves several cruel and painful steps.

Downard Will Not Run For Mayor
Republican Louisville Metro Councilman Kelly Downard says he will not seek the Metro Mayor's office next year.Downard lost to current Mayor Jerry Abramson in the 2006 mayor's race. Now that Abramson is not running for re-election in order to pursue the lieutenant governor's post, Downard says he's been encouraged to run again, but he would rather focus on his work in the council."I am almost tired of people questioning everything I do as, 'He's running for mayor,'" Downard says. "Now I'm not running for mayor and now when I do things they'll have to say I'm doing them because I think that's what's right. There's no ulterior motives and no agendas."Downard says he is not basing his decision on whom he expects or would like to run for mayor, but on his desire to remain a leader in the Metro Council. So far, only Democrat Greg Fischer has declared his candidacy for mayor.

1. Make it a priority.
When you sleep, energy is restored, tissue growth and repair occurs, and certain hormones are released. Don't take it for granted. Understand that sleep is what will help you get through the day. Without it, you won’t be able to function properly.
2. Know your sleep patterns.
If you’ve been having a hard time drifting off to dreamland the past few days, be aware of any changes in your sleeping habits. Instances of snoring and constant alertness through the night could be a sign of something more serious like sleep apnea or insomnia.
3. Create an ideal sleep environment.
According to the Center for Chronobiology in Switzerland, setting your room temperature low can help you get a good night’s sleep. "A drop in your core temperature triggers your body’s 'let’s hit the sack' systems." Another way to help your mind and body snooze is to fill your room with relaxing fragrances like lavender and chamomile.
4. Get enough sleep.
While the National Sleep Foundation suggests young adults get about seven to nine hours of sleep, it’s really up to you to determine how many hours of sleep is actually perfect for you since other people need more sleep than others.
5. Stop scrolling through social media before bedtime.
Some people have a habit of checking their Instagram or Facebook feed before bedtime, and if you’re one of them, it’s time to stop ASAP. Research shows that the blue light emitted from screens can affect the quality of your sleep.
6. Have a consistent bedtime.
Catching up on sleep on a weekend after a night of partying won’t do you much good. If you keep on hitting the sack at different times, it can throw off your internal body clock and make it more difficult for you to fall asleep–this is called social jetlag.
7. Avoid alcohol before bed.
If you think that consuming booze can lull you to sleep, you’re wrong. According to research, alcohol can cause disrupted sleep consistency. Irshaad Ebrahim, director of the London Sleep Center, says that it can also worsen insomnia. "The effect of consolidating sleep in the first half of the night is offset by having more disrupted sleep in the second half of the night."
8. Reserve your bed for sleep.
Try to avoid doing work or anything else besides sleep and sex on your bed. The Division of Sleep Medicine at Harvard Medical School says that if you continue to make your bed a work station or study table, your brain would start associating your bed with those activities which can weaken "the mental association between your bedroom and sleep."
9. Take note of your afternoon habits.
Avoid taking long naps and coffee in the late afternoon. If you’re feeling really sleepy, drink caffeine in moderation and keep your naps between 20 to 30 minutes long.
10. Stop tossing and turning in bed.
If you’re having a hard time getting some shut-eye at night, don’t toss and turn in bed–get up and walk. Steve Orma, a clinical psychologist and author of Stop Worrying and Go to Sleep: How to Put Insomnia to Bed for Good says that if you stay put in bed, your brain "could begin to associate your sleep haven with not sleeping." Try going to a different room or take a stroll outside to get some fresh air.

Double tap the picture if you know what anxiety is.
Anxiety is a future focused worry, concern, or fear that you can’t control. Have you ever found yourself anxious about something that hasn’t even happened yet, but you are already running though your mind “as if” it will happen?
I heard a quote today on a podcast, and I’m not sure who said it, but it goes a little like this, “Don’t worry, nothings under control!” It’s totally true! We have no control, and for all you type A personalities, that sends your anxiety through the roof. Am I right?!?
If you find yourself playing the “what if…” game, and running through your mind “as if” something has happened, I want you to imagine me standing in front of you asking, “What if it does?” Then answer my question. Instead or focusing on what if it does happen, plan for how you will respond to it.
If you are ever feeling anxious, I challenge you to tune into the moment and take a deep belly breath. Presence in the here-and-now is the biggest antidote to fear. Surrender to the moment and do the best you can!

Both Rep. Edward Markey and Gabriel Gomez need to break stereotypes in Wednesday's debate. But with Gomez behind, he has more work to do to win the Massachusetts Senate seat.
As the candidates in the special election to fill John Kerry’s Senate seat in Massachusetts go head-to-head in their first televised debate Wednesday night, both will be looking to keep the reputations they’ve developed in their early weeks on the campaign trail from fossilizing in voters’ minds.
For Rep. Edward Markey, a stiff and slightly awkward 18-term congressman, that will mean showing that he’s not just a stock character Massachusetts Democrat who expects to sweep to victory on the strength of the party’s massive demographic advantage. Instead, he’ll try to prove to voters that he wants this seat, and perhaps more importantly, that he’s earned it.
On the other hand, for Republican Gabriel Gomez, a charming businessman and former Navy SEAL but political novice, the goal will be to make himself look senatorial: informed, articulate, and confrontation-ready.
And there’s an added challenge. The two men will have to do all this on a sunny June evening – hardly prime political season in Massachusetts – with home games by both the Red Sox and the Bruins only a channel flip away.

Freedom from monthly menstrual periods has historically been something of a source of pride for many female athletes. That is, until they experience infertility when they do want to get pregnant. Amenorrhea—the loss of menses—is never a reason to celebrate. Unfortunately, that message does not always make it to high school girls. Despite popular belief, amenorrhea does not happen because a woman is training hard or has low body fat. Many female athletes are very lean, train hard, and do have regular periods. Athletes with amenorrhea fail to eat enough to support both exercise and menses. Add stress and perhaps other contributing factors, and one’s ability to become pregnant is halted. So what to do? Simply advising them to eat more to correct the energy imbalance is easier said than done, with amenorrhea commonly wrapped up in disordered eating patterns. As far as what to eat, it’s recommended that a healthy female athlete consume at least 13.5 calories per pound of lean body weight that is not burned off with purposeful exercise. For a woman who weighs 120 pounds and has 18 percent body fat, that’s about 1,400 calories. A sports dietitian can help correct this imbalance, as well as help female athletes find peace with food.

Coaching college football is hard enough without having to figure out how to be a father at the same time. But that is exactly the challenge that Kansas University offensive line coach Zach Yenser has faced during his two seasons at KU.
The father of two young boys, including one who was born at Lawrence Memorial Hospital on April 21, 2015, four months after he was hired by KU coach David Beaty, Yenser has worked hard to juggle the difficult dual role of rebuilding a football program and raising a family at the same time.
In many ways, there exists a strong correlation between the two. Like Kansas football, which after six dismal seasons is learning how to walk again, Yenser’s sons, Graham (4) and Max (1) are developing every day and keeping their football-coaching father on his toes at home, too.
Although a good chunk of Yenser’s year is spent more with KU’s offensive linemen than his own family, the KU assistant said the example set by other coaches around him throughout his career helped him learn how to combine both of his passions.
“I’ve been incredibly fortunate to be around a bunch of guys who have shown me it is possible to be a coach and a dad,” said Yenser, crediting Beaty as well as KU offensive coordinator Rob Likens for some of the lessons. “The last two head coaches I’ve worked for, with Sonny Dykes (at Cal and Louisiana Tech) and now Beaty, were phenomenal with that family-first mentality.”
In fact, Yenser said one of the most enforced rules among the coaching staff had to do with family.
“We don’t have many rules on staff,” Yenser said. “But one we do have is take your kids to school every day.”
Whether it’s during the dog days of summer or in the middle of a game week, with preparation and practice dominating more than half of the day, that rule remains a point of emphasis and Beaty rarely deviates from it.
Earlier this month, with the Jayhawks kicking off their summer camp schedule at Memorial Stadium, Yenser approached Beaty and asked if he could start camp and then cut out quickly to take Graham to a sports camp of his own before returning to work. Beaty’s answer?
“He told me, ‘If you don’t, you’re fired,’” Yenser said.
The whole idea of putting an emphasis on family goes beyond making sure Beaty and his coaching staff get the time they need at home with their wives and children. It also serves as yet another opportunity to show the 100 or so members of the KU roster real-life examples of the husbands and fathers they’re trying to shape.
“Beaty tells the whole team, ‘You guys are helping us raise our kids. When you’re around, they watch you guys,’” Yenser said. “They’re helping coach Likens raise Cutter, they’re helping Beaty raise his two girls and me and my boys, and they’re helping us all raise coach (Kenny) Perry. We’re still trying to get him raised up.”
As has been the case with Yenser, the importance of family in college football came to Beaty through examples set by coaches for whom he previously worked. Rice coach David Bailiff, whose scary experience with premature twin boys inspired him to emphasize family more than he had earlier in his career, made a big impact on Beaty. And his own encounter with his then-8-year-old daughter, Averie, who, one night, was more than a little shy around her own father because he had been in the football complex more than the family’s home, made an even bigger impact.
“I decided right then and there that if I ever became a head coach I was gonna make sure family came first,” Beaty said. “It’s a simple philosophy. You’re not going to get that time back. So I make sure it’s built in to what we do and I make sure our guys get the time they need with their families.”
Another recent example of Beaty putting the philosophy into practice came a little more than a week ago, when first-year special teams coach Joe DeForest was going to skip his son-in-law’s NCAA Regional baseball game with Oklahoma State because of a KU football camp. Beaty wouldn’t allow it. Instead of demanding that DeForest stick around for camp, Beaty insisted that he fly to Clemson to watch his son-in-law play ball and put him on a plane.
Things worked out well for DeForest, who watched his son-in-law win the Regional and later a Super Regional to advance to the College World Series in Omaha.
“And he was about to miss it over a two-hour camp that we could get done without him,” Beaty said.
It’s moments like those that make Yenser and the rest of the KU coaching staff feel fortunate to be working for a coach who prioritizes time for fatherhood. Even with that, though, the demands of the job on a day-to-day basis can be intense and overwhelming and throw the whole cycle out of whack.
Yenser said the culture Beaty has created at KU helps prevent such slumps and added that he thought the working environment around Kansas football was one that made being a father seem like a privilege and not a burden.
“It can be done,” Yenser said. “You can be successful in this business and still be the dad you want to be. You’ll put in time for what’s important to you. Bottom line.”
Added Beaty: “I tell ’em all the time, your home team is the No. 1 team. That’s just how we do it.”
