The Lowdown On 1942 Cars
Exactly What Have War Conditions And Shortages Done To Your 1942 Car? Here’s Detroit’s Answer To The Challenge.
by Frederick C. Russell
CALL them the 1942 cars if you like, but the glittering dreams that are rolling off the Detroit assembly lines along with tanks, bomber engines and the exciting implements of this bewildering era are, in reality, the latest models of American ingenuity. In former years the new cars were taken for granted, but their appearance today has new meaning. Now we have definite assurance that nothing—not even war, restrictions or fear—can stifle progress.
There is no national automobile show this season but Detroit’s latest offerings are slowly but surely edging toward the limelight. It won’t be long before a million of them will be on the streets and highways serving the public with safer, more efficient transportation. Whether, with the drastic production cut now in effect, the second million will be reached depends on factors which would worry even a Philadelphia lawyer.
A hint of the impressive improvement in all makes for 1942 is seen in the obvious advance in styling, especially with regard to fender treatment, the flattering of the car body and new front-end designs to give each nameplate individuality. There is more trim than ever before, and a trend toward gaiety that was not supposed to be in the cards.
Don’t worry about substitution in materials. This has not yet appeared on the grand scale as best evidenced by the fact that plastics have made only a small gain in the number of applications. The real story in materials is the use of alternates, other materials long preferred by many engineers to more commonly used metals. This is particularly evident in the use of steel and iron alloys in place of aluminum for pistons. This change has been a boon to those companies which have believed all along that aluminum was not the material for such parts of the engine.
Power is still on the increase, proving again that engineers hold to the idea that a reserve of power is not wasteful.
You can take it for a fact that the 1942’s are not the 1941’s with a new coat of paint and a gadget or two.
This is best illustrated by the definite trend toward doing away with pedal clutching. Not only have the original Chrysler Fluid Drive and Olds Hydra-Matic been improved for 1942 use, but several new versions of power transmission have come into the picture. One of these is Liquamatic Drive offered as an extra cost option on 1942 Lincoln and Mercury cars. With this device the driver need not use shift lever or clutch for all-day normal driving once he has shifted into the forward driving range. Changes in gearing are made by positioning of the accelerator pedal. Merely by speeding up the engine he can hold the car on an upgrade, and compression braking can be used to keep down car speed on a downgrade.
This is made possible on Lincoln and Mercury with the aid of a fluid coupling and a special transmission which can be shifted manually to one of three positions; reverse, an emergency low and the normal forward driving range. Conventional use of a mechanical clutch is used for selection of one of these three gear positions.
In Lincoln cars for 1942 the Liquamatic Drive is combined with automatic overdrive which provides two extra speeds in the forward driving range. Top gear plus overdrive reduces engine speed, in its relation to road speed of the car, by approximately 30 per cent.
Studebaker has also joined the cars with fluid coupling. Its system is known as Turbo-matic Drive, consisting of a fluid coupling with an automatic overdrive transmission and an automatic clutch.
Dodge continues with the most simplified of all the Chrysler-engineered Fluid Drives. No automatic transmission or overdrive is used in this system, but by reason of a change in the gear ratios the car has faster getaway. Next comes De Soto with Fluid Drive and the Simplimatic transmission which provides four forward speeds with only two forward gearshift positions. Then we have Chrysler itself with the Vacamatic transmission in combination with Fluid Drive. Improvements have been made with a view to obtaining the best possible gear ratios for performance and economy, and the fluid coupling as used in the Sixes has been changed in detail to reduce slippage.
Before introducing the special controls used in Hudson and Packard just a word to emphasize the fact that the 1942 cars are not lacking in novelties. For example, headlights on the new De Soto disappear into the front fenders. When they pop out of their hiding place they are lighted and ready for business. Buick features what is known as a Step-On parking brake which bans the annoyance of leaning over to reach for the pistol grip of the conventional hand brake. The driver merely moves an easily reached control on the instrument panel and then steps on a new small pedal with his left foot. Cadillac features a special hand brake with a “T” handle. After the brake has been set you release it by twisting the handle. Another Cadillac touch this year is a three-way ignition switch which guards against accidental waste of current by the car’s accessories.
Packard cars for 1942 carry a protective device known as Ventalarm, an addition to the filler pipe of the gasoline tank which whistles when the tank is nearing the “full” mark. This saves fuel and prevents unsightly evidences of gas spilled over the rear of the car. On Nash you will find unique two-way roller steering for the “600” Ambassador. This is accomplished by reason of the fact that the steering mechanism rides up and down on fixed king pins which are mounted inside the coil springs. Steering and springing mechanisms thus act as a unit and do not fight each other. One of the most interesting of the details seen on the new models is the increase in capacity of the Pontiac oil cleaner which is located inside the crankcase. The oil outlet is now concentric with the cleaner so that all the oil will travel the same distance and at the same velocity. This eliminates oil current eddies which could disturb the settling dirt particles.
Pontiac has an unusual lighting switch.
When the switch is pulled out, the road and instrument panel lights come on, while rotating the knob permits control of intensity of the instrument panel and clock lights. On Plymouth the tonneau light operates when the front door opens, and on De Soto there are locks on both front doors so that a driver can gain entrance to the car on either side. Willys Americar uses 29 pounds of sound-deadening, vibration-absorbing compound on the front floor panel, transmission cover, cowl top and sides, radiator air deflector, rear wheel house panels, fenders and toe boards.
Back to clutches and transmissions for the complete picture of this significant trend toward simplicity in control. When you have added Olds Hydra-matic and the Cadillac version of Hydra-matic Drive you have the complete picture of those controls using fluid. Hudson’s Drive-Master is composed of simple, proven units yet provides new ease of control. The operator has three options. He can run the car manually, semi-automatically or automatically. Clutch operation can be entirely eliminated.
Packard is again featuring Electromatic Drive, a system of automatic clutching combined with automatic overdrive and controlled by a number of solenoids which iron out all the wrinkles. Some recent detailed improvements have been added.
One of the amazing things about the 1942 models is that what we called fanciful cars last year have become realities. The new Chryslers are a close approximation of the “Thunderbolt” job which has toured the country to excite the motoring populace. Buick’s famous “Dream Car” is actually here with fenders which, on some models, sweep from front to rear clear across the doors. The 1941 Cadillac Special introduced front fenders that extended into the front doors. Then came Packard’s Clipper with the fender idea brought down into the popular priced class. Now we find this treatment even in the 1942 Chevrolet. Not to be outclassed Cadillac has lengthened the wheelbase of its famous Sixty Special so that the rear fenders have become a part of the rear doors. You can thus see 1943 styling even as you survey the 1942 lines.
Ford for 1942 is offered in two versions with choice of either the well-known V-8 engine or the new Ford “6” powerplant. This year’s bodies have a flatter front with a radiator grille of extremely wide section made up of a number of thin vertical bars of rustless steel.
Mechanical improvements have to do with comfort and safety. The Mercury engine has been upped in power with the result that there is an increase in the ratio of power per pound of weight.
Lincoln’s front end differs somewhat from conventional styling because, in addition to the use of horizontal bars extending into the fenders, it is gracefully rounded and seems to be in two levels, with the lower skirt sloping forward. On the front of the hood nose is a coat – of – arms adapted from the crest once borne by the Lincolns of Old England. You have this same crest touch on the front of the 1942 Dodge.
But let us lift the hood and see what they have done to the engines. Plymouth’s power plant is up to 95 h.p. at 3,400 r.p.m., which is at a slower speed than used for rating most car engines. This is largely the result of increasing compression ratio to 6.80 to 1. Chrysler superfinishing is now extended to Plymouth motor parts. Used also is a heavier counterweight crankshaft equipped with a vibration damper. Plymouth pistons are now of lightweight cast iron with chilled iron ribs reinforcing the walls. Added economy is obtained through use of a lower rear axle ratio (3.9) so that the engine makes fewer revolutions per mile. It will surprise many motorists to learn that Packard is still using aluminium pistons. In Tact, the company assures purchasers that pistons of this metal will be used throughout the 1942 model year for the Super-Eight engine. All of the Packard power plants have been stepped up 5 h.p. through an increase to compression ratio of 6.85 to 1. When it becomes necessary Packard engineers will swing over to special cast-iron pistons. Only other change in Packard engines is adoption of heavy-duty, thin alloy bearings.
An improvement in the Willys Americar is re-design of the heat control mechanism on the manifold. This permits what is called “all-speed, all-temperature” peak power. An added advantage . is opportunity for more efficient adjustment for summer and winter fuel mixtures. Willys pistons are of molybdenum iron alloy, oval ground for elasticity and plated with tin.
Oldsmobile is offered in Sixes and Eights with, as in the case of Pontiac, only a small differential in price between engines. This year Hydra-matic Drive is being featured more than ever because it has been found to contribute much to engine efficiency.
Pontiac’s Torpedo is on a 119-inch wheelbase with choice of the 90 h.p. Six or the 103 h.p. Eight engine. Streamliner and Streamliner-Chieftain models are on a wheelbase of 122 inches with same choice of engines. After sixteen years of continuous use the electro-plated iron alloy pistons seem quite at home. Continued is the Scotch-mist manifold. Starting has been simplified by making the initial idling speed faster for cold starting. An ingenious feature is the use of a link between the float valve pin and the float valve lever of the carburetor so that the pin won’t stick when the float lowers. The link simply pulls the pin down. Pontiac’s engineers have also increased timing chain life by changing the pressure angle of the teeth from 17 to 22 degrees.
Special interest is shown in the Nash Ambassador “600” engine because it is designed to give from 25 to 30 miles to the gallon. Its Flying Scot engine develops 75 h.p., has fewer parts than conventional motors since the inlet manifolding is sealed within the engine block. Nash continues to have two larger cars in its 1942 line. Both the Six and the Eight are built on the same wheel-base, and powered by engines of valve-in-head design. These motors also have sealed-in manifolds. The Six develops 105 h.p., while the Eight develops 115 h.p. Steel strut aluminium pistons are used.
A feature of the Nash Ambassador “600,” like Oldsmobile and Buick, is use of coil springs for all four wheels. Nash continues with its air conditioning system controlled by a “Weather Eye.”
This brings into the picture the marked trend toward elimination of the cowl ventilator. In Cadillac and Buick this is supplanted by a new system of ventilation which is built into all models. In Pontiac the underseat heater picks up fresh air blown to it by a sirocco blower placed just below the left headlamp and back of the radiator grille. Absence of the cowl ventilator results in a longer sweep of the hood.
Back to engines again we find that the 1942 Buicks are built on six chassis varying in wheel-base from 118 inches to 139 inches. Two valve-in-head straight eight engines power the Buick line, power ranging from 110 to 165 h.p. The wide variation is due not merely to the two sizes in engines but to the use of compound carburetion as standard on all but the lowest rated engine. Pistons are of iron alloy with cam ground turbulator top providing high compression pressures without pinging. Main changes in the engine concern increased bearing life due to use of new materials, the new shot blast connecting rods and the oil-cushioned finish of the crank pin journals.
The eleven models in the Dodge line are powered by a new 105 h.p. engine, a rise from 91 h.p. of last year’s power plant. The extra power is obtained without increase in its r.p.m. speed. Torque has been increased from 170 foot pounds to 185 so that the increased performance is noticed through the normal driving range rather than at high speed.
Chrysler’s line consists of six models and a total of 31 body styles. First there is the Royal of 121-1/2 inch wheelbase. Then the Windsor of same wheelbase but with different trim and equipment, plus a six-passenger convertible club coupe. Third is the Saratoga on a 127-1/2 inch wheelbase. Fourth the New Yorker of same wheelbase as the Saratoga but with different equipment. Finally the Crown Imperial of 1451/2-inch wheelbase and the Town and County (a new name for station wagon) which is on the Windsor chassis with Fluid Drive and Vacamatic transmission standard. The Royal and Windsor models carry a still more powerful six-cylinder engine developing 120 h.p. with torque of 200 foot pounds. Horsepower of the eight is 140 with a compression ratio of 6.8 to 1. An important change in the Chrysler engine is use of larger exhaust piping and improved mufflers.
Buick is introducing the much-discussed wide base rims. One of the advantages of this type of rim is the greater stability of the tire and the car when rounding a curve. There is naturally less bulge to the tire.
Noteworthy is Plymouth’s convenience offered by having the car flooring flush with the running boards which, of course, are of the concealed type. There is nothing to trip over in getting into or out of the car, and it gives the car an added trim.
It must be apparent that the reason General Motors cars are making full use of fenders continued through the doors is to provide for wider concealed running boards.
Chevrolet is using hard alloy cast-iron pistons for the 1942 engines. Important changes have been made in Chevrolet bearings to take care of the switch from aluminium alloy to cast iron.
Cadillac’s 150 h.p. V-8 engine will run cooler this year because of a 10 per cent increase in the car’s frontal ventilation area. Functional design again to the fore! These cars are wider than they are high, measurements being 81 and 63 inches respectively.
In its lowest priced field Hudson offers a 116-inch wheelbase job with a 92 h.p. six-cylinder engine. There is also a still lower priced model known as the Hudson Six but with same power and wheelbase. Then comes the Super-Six with 121-inch wheelbase and a 102 h.p. motor. Then there are the Commodore Six and Eight models with 102 and 128 h.p. engines on 121-inch wheel-base, plus a Custom Eight on a wheelbase of 128 inches. Hudson continues to accent its feature of a mechanical braking system to back the hydraulic system, and its patented Auto-Poise front wheel control which helps keep the car to a straight course even in a heavy side wind.
Studebaker’s line starts with the Champion, a Six with 80 h.p. engine. Hill holder is available at slight extra cost. The car weighs around 2,500 pounds and has an overall length of 193 inches. It is also prepared at the factory for installation of Studebaker’s “Thermo-Control” Climatizer, an unusually complete car heating and ventilating system.
Commanders and Presidents complete the Studebaker offerings for 1942. Engine for the former deliver 94 h.p., while the motor for the latter is a 117 h.p. power plant. A new development is the use of light-weight Parco Lubrized iron alloy pistons. These do not scuff or score because of the thin protective coating.
Outstanding in 1942 car developments is the use of rear quarter windows for convertible coupes. This eliminates the blind spots which have been an objection to this type of car ever since the rumble seat was put inside under cover.
There is the picture. And what a picture of progress it is!


Other marks record the year of manufacture as well as the manufacturer. In the USA words sterling when used by a reputable vendor is accepted as an enough assurance, and there are no set standards. Modern tableware is created in all the flatware centres of the globe. During the 20th century the processes utilized in its manufacture got to a high degree of mechanization.
These procedures entail the strictest control of metal behaviour and also right annealing to get rid of too much pressures. The strips are fed right into device presses that eliminated each spoon or fork in its harsh shape, one end going to initial nearly square for a spoon as well as rectangular for a fork. The ends of these "spaces" are rolled once more in a direction at right angles to the centre line, minimizing the density at this moment http://edition.cnn.com/search/?text=Luxury cutlery and tableware without changing the thickness of the handle.
After being trimmed, the blanks are marked in alloy-steel passes away that hollow the bowls and mark a pattern on the manages. In the case of forks, slots are reduced out to form the prongs, which are after that marked in passes away to the needed curvature, tapered, as well as aimed on abrasive belts.
Succeeding finishing processes vary according to the metal made use of. In the instance of silver, together finer phases of buffing prepare the surfaces for final sprucing up or satin finishing. In the instance of alloys that are to be electroplated, the posts, after being buffed, are wired individually on frames; amounts of 100 or even more can be submersed at the same time in the series of cleaning bathrooms and also layering barrels.
The Single Strategy To Use For Plates And Glasses
The thickness of the electroplated down payment is raised by some makers at the factors of maximum wear; as an example, on the centre of the convex surface area of spoon bowls. Although the electroplated down payment of silver is defined in grams or pennyweights per loads pieces as well as occasionally in real density in millimetres or thousandths of an inch, the more popular technique of indication is usage of the terms "thirty years," "25 years," or "twenty years" plate.
After the items have been electroplated, their surfaces are dull and also need sprucing up. Hand sprucing up is performed by holding the write-ups upon swiftly turning sponges clothed with a light weight aluminum compound or rouge. The least expensive layering process is "brilliant plating," in which a really slim finishing of silver or chromium is deposited intense, hence removing final polishing.
Stainless steel is harder to polish than silver, silver plate, or unplated nickel alloys. Techniques have actually been created for marking the cheaper selections of stainless-steel spoons and forks from prepolished sheet. In some countries stainless steel is brightened electrolytically.

Review: Cold Steel’s Aluminum Head Sword Cane
Pat Cascio 07.11.16
I’ve been intrigued by sword canes for as long as I can remember. Over the years, I’ve seen quite a few sword canes in novelty shops, and that’s all they were: a novelty. But I always thought they had some potential as a self-defense weapon of last resort and even as a survival tool.
I decided to try out the Cold Steel Aluminum Head Sword Cane to see how it works in that role. Truth be told, on some days I can be caught with a pretty good limp myself (osteoarthritis in my right hip and lower back) but I can get around without a cane. Still, the idea of using a cane as a walking aid as well as for self-defense isn’t a bad one. When I was actively teaching martial arts for 35 years, I taught stick fighting to my students, and the sword cane can be used for many stick fighting techniques.
A quick look at the Aluminum Head Sword Cane is in order:
- Blade: 25.75 inches, 1055 carbon steel
- Shaft: fiberglass carbon fiber composite
- Overall length: 37.625 inches (about right for use for most folks)
- Highly polished 6160 aluminum removable head
- Total weight: 25.3 ounces
Please keep in mind that this sword cane is meant for stabbing, not slashing.The actual sword is hidden inside a sturdy fiberglass carbon fiber shaft that’s virtually unbreakable. Believe me. I gave it my best shot, and it is still intact.

Those who move in the online world in any capacity will have probably come across a new buzzword in recent months: metaverse. But while the concept itself isn’t actually new, businesses are now seeing it as something that could potentially revolutionize their respective industries.
So far, the metaverse has mostly been covered in the media as an exciting new way to do virtual office meetings, but the extent of possibilities for what it can become to have a real-world impact — particularly within healthcare — is truly quite staggering. So, how could this high-tech solution impact the world of health and wellness, and who is on board?
Healthcare Solutions in the Metaverse
MdDAO is a growing global community that is reimagining healthcare, with the goal to create the world’s first medical metaverse. Stephen Tang, MdDAO’s co-founder and pediatrician, says that the current US healthcare landscape offers plenty of reasons for medical professionals to want something better. Not only is the US healthcare system the most expensive in the world, but also fragmented and inefficient with financial incentives skewed towards the medical establishment, meaning the care offered isn’t always in the best interest of the patient.
“Familiarity with the current system and time constraints to adopting a new initiative, or opportunities to evaluate new initiatives, are additional headwinds for adoption,” Tang says. “Change is often difficult to accept as the rewards may not be immediately apparent.”
“One of the main reasons for starting MdDAO is to address these shortcomings,” Tang says, and to provide tools for the healthcare consumer to achieve health ownership, improved wellness, access to care, and a better insight into health. “I believe physicians and care providers will see a lot of value in the metaverse with a more immersive experience and the potential to become a platform where innovation, health ownership, and patient engagement will thrive,” Tang says. MdDAO is currently undergoing a “phase of exploration and insight” in a community-led process, with the end goal of creating a fully functioning and intuitive health and wellness metaverse.
The Metaverse Is Built For a Digital Generation
According to Tang, the younger generations currently growing up in the most deeply-digitized world we have ever seen, will likely embrace the functionality, accessibility and convenience of the medical metaverse. “They have been weaned on social media, TikTok, and Minecraft,” Tang says. “As these generations age and become healthcare consumers, the metaverse — and in particular, a more personalized iteration that promotes health ownership and engagement — may become a value-added proposition for this group of consumers.” He says that this is an under-the-radar trend that the medical community will soon recognize, with the goals of engaging a healthier population and guiding them towards evidence-based information.
As for older generations, Tang says the metaverse has the potential to be seen as an extension of in-person care with the rise of telemedicine and remote patient monitoring that we are already witnessing. “They may not be interested in visiting a meditation room or entertainment venue, or participating in the gamification of the health metaverse, but that is okay,” he explains, “as there will be optional, less-immersive interfaces for this population.”
Remote Patient Monitoring
The pandemic was devastating to us as a medical community and illustrated the limitations of physical medical offices as many patients, and in particular, patients with chronic diseases, avoided medical facilities and access to preventative care. Not only this, but with an aging population, the importance of designing a more personalized approach to chronic disease management will come to the forefront. This is where Tang says the metaverse could be game-changing in the field of remote patient monitoring. “With our partnership with Nouslogic, Inc., one of the premier innovators in the space, we will gain a better understanding of this particular arena and how to efficiently and effectively manage chronic illnesses in the at-home setting,” Tang says. As the healthcare community integrates RPM into the daily workflow, Tang anticipates efficiency in care with improved outcomes, engagement, and patient satisfaction.
“This will be an opportunity to off-load some of the care from hospitals and in-patient nursing staff,” Tang says. “Physicians will see this as an opportunity to improve clinical outcomes, compliance, as well as a tool to assist with population management and potentially improve patient engagement and health ownership.” Using a photo-realistic avatar interface could also improve workflow patterns and streamline the office experience, offering face-to-face interaction without having to physically go to a doctor’s office.
Improved Access to Care and Virtual Tools
“The metaverse represents the next evolution in immersive communication and will push the boundaries of how we deliver, receive and process information,” Tang mentions. Essentially, this means that the metaverse could potentially enhance patient experience and improve engagement and disease IQ. To further build upon this partnership, the intention is to integrate a rewards program that incentivizes healthy choices, preventative care and medical compliance. He adds that physicians need to be the primary drivers of this change from the standpoint of disease management, education, wellness education, preventive care, and mental health management and detection. “There is also an enormous opportunity to utilize this venue for medical and professional education and to reach out across physical barriers to gain access to other institutions.”
Health And Wellness Ownership
Above all else, Tang says the metaverse offers an unprecedented opportunity to improve overall wellbeing. “Within the metaverse, there are opportunities to create tools to approach health and wellness more holistically, with an emphasis on wellness, longevity, mental health issues, exercise, and healthy choices,” he says. “From an altruistic standpoint, this is why I chose to enter the medical field, and this is an exciting area to innovate and imagine how to integrate this concept in the marketplace and community.”
The community behind this movement strongly believe that the metaverse has the potential to create greater health ownership and foster a sense of health partnership within the medical field. However, this is something Tang says needs to be spearheaded by physicians and healthcare providers themselves. “This is the beauty of this space. We, as healthcare professionals, can create and imagine the future and how to improve upon and complement the current system.”

How to deal with the #BoycottNFL boycott
I’m not going to get into the arguments of what exactly it is that NFL players are boycotting because of #BoycottingNFL or what it means for the league or what its all about, but I will say that there are a few key points to keep in mind if you are considering a boycott.
If you are an active NFL player and believe that you are a victim of racism, then you need to keep this in mind.
You should also keep in a mindset that the NFL is not in the business of making profit for the owners.
If they were in business of creating jobs, then they would be boycotting the owners and making millions for them.
You can read my previous post here on the topic, where I discuss how to respond to a boycott and how to find other people who are supportive.
And lastly, if you see someone saying that boycotting is racist, you need not fear for your livelihood.
There are plenty of people out there who support the cause of the players who want nothing more than to be able to enjoy the game of football and be able earn a living without fear of being called a racist or racist slurs.
They are not going after anyone who supports the boycott.
This does not mean that you should go around making racist statements about players.
I’m sure that many people in the NFL have said that to a black player.
If that is the case, then it is also not a big deal because you do not actually hurt anyone.
But, if that is a concern, then that is one of the reasons why it is important to make sure that you have a healthy dialogue with those who are speaking up for you and for others who are trying to protect players from these kinds of slurs.
I’ve seen some people come to the defense of those who speak out against the boycott, but many people feel that the owners are just trying to use the NFL as a political tool and to create more animosity toward the black community.
You need to remember that the boycott is a political act and not a social justice act.
So, you can still make some points and say that the protests are a big misunderstanding.
But it should not be confused with what is actually happening in the world right now.
The protests are actually the result of the media trying to divide the country by creating more hate and more division.
They should not, and never will, have anything to do with a boycott because this is not about a boycott but a peaceful protest.
But you should also be aware of the potential for the backlash and potential for backlash to come your way if you continue to speak out about the issue of racial injustice.
You might find that you get called out as being a racist for being in favor of the boycott and you might find yourself on the receiving end of more criticism for it.
The reality is that it is very hard for you to change anyone else’s mind when you are just a guy who has a voice.
I don’t care what you are about, what you believe, what your beliefs are, if I hear that you believe that black people are inferior to white people, then I will not be your friend.
That is not a compliment and it does not make you any less of a person.
The same goes for those who oppose boycotting.
The issue of racism in the sports world is not really about anything else.
It is about keeping us from having fun and enjoying sports, and we should not allow the sports industry to have any influence over the way we feel about it.
If we want to continue to enjoy sports, we have to take our enjoyment from the fans and the teams, not from people who try to change the culture in the country and make it a more inclusive place.
But if we want sports to be about fun and fun, then we should start by making sure that we treat everyone equally.
So go out there and say what you feel.
Do not make fun of them or try to make them feel bad about what they are doing.
Do your best to respect them and show that you respect them for who they are.
Do everything in your power to make their lives easier.
Do what they need to do in order to be successful.
And if they make you uncomfortable or hurt you, then please go and do something about it because you deserve to be treated with respect and fairness.
I hope that this article has helped some of you understand the reasons behind why boycotts are not a good idea and that you can use this to support the NFL.
Please leave your thoughts in the comments section below and let me know if you have any other questions.
Thanks for reading!

Conservative supporters of Republican Chris McDaniel were up in arms Tuesday night after McDaniel lost in Mississippi's Republican Senate primary runoff election. These conservatives were particularly furious that incumbent U.S. Sen. Thad Cochran had sought Democratic votes to push him over the top.
McDaniel led the charge, in a speech that quickly became anything but a concession late Tuesday night. He pointedly refused to concede or even mention Cochran's name in the speech but charged his opponent and supporters had decided the primary through "the help of liberal Democrats."
"There’s something strange about a Republican primary that’s decided by liberal Democrats," McDaniel said, after he was introduced by a supporter as "the Republican nominee" for Senate.
The conservative groups and others supporting McDaniel did not go as far as their preferred candidate, however. They acknowledged Cochran had come out on top, but they charged he did so at the expense of the party as a whole. Some threatened to leave the party. Others said establishment Republicans had lost support from their conservative base.
"This race was establishment versus Tea Party and when the GOP has to turn to Democrats to retain power, they have no principles," Amy Kremer, the former chair of the Tea Party Express and a supporter of McDaniel, told Business Insider. "If Cochran wins this race, the GOP establishment won, not with the support of the base, but by teaming up with Democrats. That means they have more in common with Dems than conservatives.
"Conservatives have principles and are tired of the GOP ruling class elite that tax and spend like Democrats. The GOP cannot win on their own, so what will they do in the general when they don't have the base and are running against Democrats? That is a losing ticket. Seems they didn't learn anything in 2012."
The old-school Cochran employed an unusual strategy in the runoff, courting black voters — the vast majority of whom are Democrats — and Democratic voters in general, who feared McDaniel would do damage if he emerged victorious in November.
It appears the strategy worked. In the 10 counties where Cochran's vote total improved most, blacks make up 69% or more of the population, according to FiveThirtyEight's Harry Enten.
FreedomWorks, one of the conservative groups backing McDaniel, called Cochran's runoff strategy "disgraceful."
"If the only way the K Street wing of the GOP establishment can win is by courting Democrats to vote in GOP primaries, then we've already won," FreedomWorks President Matt Kibbe said in a statement. "Tonight is proof that the K Street establishment is intellectually bankrupt, and we are going to have to clean it up."

Also on Wednesday afternoon, Mallory's former roommate and Swilling friend Alysha Zephyr forwarded a statement to "Outside the Lines" that called Mallory's claims against Swilling a "lie." She said Mallory acknowledged having sex with Swilling to her and another roommate. Zephyr, whom "Outside the Lines" contacted several months ago but who would not talk on the record, said in the statement she believed Mallory's claims were a "desperate effort to get her fiancee to take her back and mend her reputation."
Swilling's attorney said "the allegations in the recent lawsuit that Patrick sexually assaulted other women are unsubstantiated and false. The lawsuit appears to be an attempt to further damage Patrick's reputation. ... "
Swilling had been waiting to be cleared academically by the NCAA so he can play football for Tulsa this fall, but he announced on Twitter this week that the NCAA denied his waiver.
Tulsa officials declined an interview request from "Outside the Lines" to discuss Swilling's case.
Details of how college officials at Missouri, Southern Idaho and Tulsa handled the assault allegations by students are prime examples of what the U.S. Department of Education wants to see stop, said the department's Lhamon.
"We have colleges and institutions that are not responding quickly," she said. "So they get a complaint, but they sit on it. And they don't investigate. And they let the facts grow stale. That can take too long to get relief for the student community. It can take too long to make sure that kids are safe."
In 2011, the department sent a 19-page letter to colleges and universities re-emphasizing their obligations under Title IX and stressing the importance of investigating reports of violence. After that letter received national media attention, Lhamon said, her office saw an 88 percent increase in the complaints about how institutions were addressing such reports. She also said she believes the increase could also be the result of an increase in campus sexual assaults overall.
Making clear to schools that they "shouldn't take a backseat to the criminal justice process" is important, Lhamon said, because Title IX -- a law with roots in civil rights and gender equity -- addresses questions that go beyond law enforcement.
"Should a student stay in the same course schedule? Should a student stay in the same dormitory? Can a student feel safe going to the library or not?" she said.
This year, President Barack Obama established a White House task force to address sexual assaults among college students, and several weeks ago members of the U.S. House and Senate introduced bipartisan bills designed to crack down on colleges that fail to act.
The bills would improve support services for survivors, instill mandatory training for campus personnel and improve coordination with law enforcement. They also would prevent athletic departments from being the sole arbiter of cases involving student-athletes. If schools don't follow Title IX provisions, they face a penalty of up to 1 percent of their operating budget.


Developers of office buildings and shopping centres will have to build them to zero-carbon standards by 2019. Financial Times
The move marks a stepping up of the pressure on property companies, which are already compelled to produce entirely green homes by 2016.
The industry has been targeted by the government because it is responsible for about half of emissions in the UK.
But the new regulations on commercial buildings are likely to come with a heavy price for companies, given that it typically costs an extra 10% or more to make a building carbon neutral.
With commercial property values in freefall – they have dropped by more than 10% in the past year – the extra burden on developers could have a big impact on projects.
The government estimates that the initiative could save up to 75m tonnes of carbon dioxide over the next 30 years. All new public buildings would have to be zero carbon a year earlier than private buildings – from 2018 rather than 2019.
The British Property Federation said the move was 'both workable and viable' and said it supported the government’s decision.

The much awaited fat Indian wedding is round the corner. The Ambani family is all set for celebration of Akash Ambani's and Shloka Mehta’s engagement. Earlier this year, Akash Ambani proposed his childhood friend Shloka Mehta, daughter of the diamantaire, Russel Mehta.
The engagement ceremony will take place in the Antilla- the Ambani’s Altamount Road Residence on 30th June. The official save the date invitation is out and is going viral over the internet. The invitation is being sent by the parents, Neeta Ambani and Mukesh Ambani, and siblings Isha Ambani and Anant Ambani.
With the ‘Shubhaarambh’ song from the movie ‘Kai po che’, playing in the background, the invitation is exactly what we expected it to be. The video is designed with traditional motifs. Take a look at the video :
The proposal was followed by a grand engagement bash in Mumbai. The party was totally star studded. While there has been no confirmation on the wedding date yet, rumours are that the eldest Ambani son will tie the knot in December.

Download Beautiful Terrible Ruins Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Once the manufacturing powerhouse of the nation, Detroit has become emblematic of failing cities everywhere—the paradigmatic city of ruins—and the epicenter of an explosive growth in images of urban decay. In Beautiful Terrible Ruins, art historian Dora Apel explores a wide array of these images, ranging from photography, advertising, and television, to documentaries, video games, and zombie and disaster films. Apel shows how Detroit has become pivotal to an expanding network of ruin imagery, imagery ultimately driven by a pervasive and growing cultural pessimism, a loss of faith in progress, and a deepening fear that worse times are coming. The images of Detroit’s decay speak to the overarching anxieties of our era: increasing poverty, declining wages and social services, inadequate health care, unemployment, homelessness, and ecological disaster—in short, the failure of capitalism. Apel reveals how, through the aesthetic distancing of representation, the haunted beauty and fascination of ruin imagery, embodied by Detroit’s abandoned downtown skyscrapers, empty urban spaces, decaying factories, and derelict neighborhoods help us to cope with our fears. But Apel warns that these images, while pleasurable, have little explanatory power, lulling us into seeing Detroit’s deterioration as either inevitable or the city’s own fault, and absolving the real agents of decline—corporate disinvestment and globalization. Beautiful Terrible Ruins helps us understand the ways that the pleasure and the horror of urban decay hold us in thrall.

So if you want to stop the danger of death, then you have to understand what is that Absolute Truth. Just like I have given already the example of sunshine. If you come to the sunshine, there is no darkness. But if you keep yourself within closed door, do not like to see the sunshine, that is your own choice. So everyone should try to come to the light. That is Vedic injunction, tamaso mā jyotir gamaya, means "Do not remain in darkness, come to the light." Light means knowledge, and darkness means ignorance. So every one of us now in the ignorance that we do not know "What I am." Everyone is in darkness in the concept of body. Ask anyone what you are. He will say, "I am this body. I am Mr. Such and such." "I am Indian." "I am American." This is all bodily description. And we have already discussed. This body is temporary, but I, the spirit soul, I am permanent. I have already experienced that I had my childhood body, I had my babyhood body, I had my boyhood body, youthhood body, I know it, but the bodies are no more existing, but I am existing. So therefore I am permanent, and the body is nonpermanent. Therefore it is said, nāsato vidyate bhāvaḥ: "Permanency is not there in the body." Nābhāvo vidyate sataḥ: "And there is no annihilation of the permanent or the eternal."
So this is... Kṛṣṇa, although He is the authority, still, He says that ubhayor api dṛṣṭaḥ antaḥ tu anayos tattva-darśibhiḥ. He says, "All the tattva-darśī, the knower of the Absolute Truth, they know it very well, and they have decided like that." The purpose is that we have to accept the experience of the tattva-darśī, of the seer of the Absolute Truth. That is knowledge. Our knowledge is imperfect because our senses are imperfect. Therefore we do not come to the right knowledge by exercising our senses. The idea is that we should accept the statement of Kṛṣṇa and the śāstra that we or I or you, we are spirit soul; we are permanent. And the body is not permanent. But we should be intelligent enough—how we can get the condition of permanence. That is possible when you or I, we come to the platform of eternity. That is explained in another place of Śrīmad Bhagavad-gītā, bahavo jñāna-tapasā pūtā mad-bhāvam āgatāḥ, like that. Means that "Many persons, by cultivating knowledge and tapasya, jñāna-tapasā, pūtāḥ, became purified. They have got the same status like Me." The same status means God is eternal, God is full of knowledge and God is full of bliss.

EPA grant beefs up air monitoring at School 21 Benzene causes leukemia and problems of the central nervous system, so people take it seriously. Air monitoring shows that benzene levels on the playground of Indianapolis Public School 21, at 2815 English Avenue, are nearly twice as high as anywhere else in town. On some days, benzene concentrations outside School 21 "approach levels that may cause acute health effects," according to a grant application written by Mike Brooks, section chief in the office of Air Quality at Indiana"s Department of Environmental Management.
Air monitoring shows that benzene levels on the playground of Indianapolis Public School 21, at 2815 English Avenue, are nearly twice as high as anywhere else in town.
Brooks" data impressed the Environmental Protection Agency, which recently granted IDEM $80,000 to buy sophisticated tools for measuring both air pollution and meteorological conditions near School 21. An hourly monitor will replace a two-year-old rooftop canister that has been grabbing 24-hour composite air samples at School 21. "Benzene levels are of enough concern to warrant further assessment," according to IDEM"s grant. Dozens of other hazardous air toxins will also be monitored. The grant and the monitoring that preceded it emerged from a remarkable display of responsive government: Two years ago IDEM and the Indianapolis Office of Environmental Services collaborated to sample the air outside School 21 after NUVO raised concerns. ("How Hot is the Heat?" June 1-8, 2000) Since that story broke, the EPA created a "Tools for Schools" program to study air quality at schools and beefed up its attention to "environmental justice," meaning that hazardous pollutants in poor neighborhoods like those surrounding School 21 are on EPA"s radar. Those federal initiatives, along with provocative results from air sampling at School 21, convinced IDEM that now was the time to apply for funds. The EPA warns that, at 22 parts per billion, benzene negatively affects the central nervous system. Along with several other air toxins, benzene exposure is associated with asthma and other respiratory problems, headache, dizziness, vomiting and worse. There"s no telling if the 24-hour reading of16 ppb detected on Oct. 13, 2001, near School 21 held steady all day and night, or if benzene levels spiked beyond 16 ppb from time to time. Likewise on Jan. 14 of this year, when 24-hour readings showed benzene concentrations of 14.25 ppb. If similar concentrations occur again, hourly monitors will indicate whether 400 students are being exposed to dangerous levels of air toxins. Data from air monitors is posted on IDEM"s ToxWatch web page, where citizens can search by site, by pollutant, and by date. By next month, an automatic gas chromatograph (AGC) will be installed outside of School 21 to take hourly measurements of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), including benzene. Near the AGC will be a meteorological monitor, indicating wind conditions. Data from both monitors is expected to show whether benzene levels are dangerous, whether other air toxins are worrisome, and who is likely responsible. Existing data suggests that, while vehicles, gas stations and industrial plants produce benzene, most of what"s being measured might come from Citizens Gas & Coke at 2950 Prospect St., a stone"s throw from School 21"s playground. There, coal is "coked" in huge ovens to produce high-grade fuel that"s sold to various foundries. Byproduct gases are captured and sold to Indianapolis Power & Light, which uses them to operate the second-largest steam system in the nation for heating and air-conditioning downtown buildings. Although most benzene is recaptured, some amount escapes whenever doors to coking ovens are opened, and these "fugitive" gases either blow with the wind or stay put, depending on the weather. "Oftentimes, you get stagnant conditions in valleys, and that leads to higher concentrations because you don"t have wind dispersing the pollutant," noted EPA"s Randy Robinson in Chicago, who provides meteorological support for the grant project. Benzene levels at School 21 are highest when the wind blows from south to north in a direct path from Citizens Gas to the school. Every time a 24-hour monitor showed benzene concentrations above10 parts per billion, the wind had been blowing from the south. Such correlation convinced eight "stakeholder" groups, including the gas utility, to collaborate in the upcoming study. "I know it"s not fair that we"re judging Citizens Gas against coke plants in the middle of nowhere," admitted Dick Van Frank, a stakeholder representing the Audubon Society. On the other hand, a coke plant in the middle of the city warrants close inspection because of potential health risks. "The lag time for leukemia is five or 10 years," Van Frank said, and benzene exposure could also contribute to asthma and liver or kidney problems. As coke plants go, Citizens Gas is held in high regard. Pollution readings "are well below any EPA or recognized number," said Wade Kohlmann, the gas company"s director of environmental affairs. To comply with Clean Air Act laws of the 1980s, Citizens Gas invested millions in vacuum systems and cut benzene emissions by 95 percent. The air wafting from Citizens Gas is cleaner than it"s ever been. Principal Carole Ervin-Browne noted that asthma at School 21 was much more pronounced 15-plus years ago. "If indeed [benzene] is causing a problem, I hope something is done about it. I don"t want anyone to get sick." But in her 31 years at the school, both air quality and health concerns have improved, not gotten worse. As corporate citizens go, the gas company also gets rave reviews from Rachel Cooper, president of South East Umbrella Organization, the neighborhood association. If neighbors "smell something that we"re not used to smelling," they know to call the guard shack on Prospect Street to learn what"s going on, she said. Having lived near the coking plant for most of her life, Cooper knows how dramatic the improvement in air quality has been. "It"s not near as bad as it used to be." Yet, given what today"s scientists know about air pollution, and given advances in monitoring equipment, is it good enough? "From a cancer viewpoint, the numbers here [in Indianapolis] are way over the limits, as they are in the nation as a whole due to gas stations," said IKE"s Tom Neltner. "It looked to me that, on some days, there could be acute health effects." If alarming levels of benzene can indeed be traced to Citizens Gas, the next step could involve fixing or permanently shutting down the oldest coke ovens, Neltner said. In addition to monitoring the air outside School 21, the grant promises to look inside, too, in case molds or other "sick building" fumes are affecting student health. By year end, students at School 21 will be filling out short, anonymous forms whenever they complain about headaches, burning eyes or throats, coughing, upset stomachs or asthma symptoms. Coordinating these reports will be Pam Thevenow, an administrator at the Marion County Board of Health, and Patricia Keirgan, IPS Supervisor of Nursing Services. Regardless of what the AGC and meteorological monitors discover, this EPA grant presents an unprecedented opportunity, suggested John Chavez, administrator for the Indianapolis Office of Environmental Services. Never before has the city gathered so many parties (Citizens Gas, IKE, the Audubon Society, IPS, Marion County Health Department, and IDEM) to study air quality so specifically. "We"ve put together a very complex group of stakeholders, and we got them all on the same page," noted Chavez. Whatever the School 21 readings show, this will be a model for future air studies. "If we see increases in emissions, we can see if they match with increases in health problems," Thevenow said. "I read a lot, and I know that children in New York City use their inhalers more when ozone is above a certain level. Maybe the two sets of [local] data won"t match at all. But it"s a step," she said. "It"s an attempt to figure out what we know and what we don"t know." NOTE TO READER:So you don"t think we occupy a parallel universe (though there are times we wish we did, but that"s another story), we went to press with this week"s paper before the election returns. -Editors

Actor Arjun Kapoor says linking up with co-stars are the part and parcel of an actor's life and he is not the only one who is targeted with such reports.
The actor is rumoured to be dating his Tevar co-star Sonakshi Sinha but he has a different story to tell.
"These things (link-up reports) are part and parcel of an actor's life. I am not the first actor to be linked with his co-star and I am definitely not going to be the last," said the actor.
"We both (Sonakshi and Arjun) are not influenced by these rumours. As long as it's not below the belt, I am fine with it," he added.
Arjun, who was previously linked with his 2 States fame actress Alia Bhatt, says he is very much single.
"I have been saying this from last two years but nobody believes me. Everybody wants me to find a girlfriend and when I hangout with my co-stars, I am linked to them," he said.
Directed by Amit Sharma, Tevar also features Manoj Bajpayee amongst others. It will release Jan 9.

Brew espresso. In a coffee mug, place 1 teaspoon of unsweetened powdered cocoa, then cover a teaspoon with honey and drizzle it into the cup. Stir while the coffee brews, this is the fun part. The cocoa seems to coat the honey without mixing, so you get a dusty, sticky mass that looks as though it will never mix. Then all at once, presto! It looks like dark chocolate sauce. Pour hot espresso over the honey, stirring to dissolve. Serve with cream.

Fitted sheets are sheets with elastic at the mitered corners, allowing them to fit over the mattress and eliminate balled up, untucked and wrinkled sheets. While an ingenious invention, telling the top of the sheet from the sides is a tricky task. Determining which way a fitted sheet goes on the mattress is usually a method of trial and error; however, there are a few clues to look for to make the job a little easier.
Check the sheet's pattern. Provided the sheet is patterned with a floral or geometric design, this is the simplest way to put the sheet on right the first time. The top of the pattern will indicate where the top of the bed should be. Plain sheets, stripes or plaids are not helped by this method.
Video of the Day
Lay the fitted sheet on the bed without securing the corners.
Eye or measure the length of two adjoining sides. With some sheets, the difference between the short and long sides is apparent, but with larger mattresses, such as king-size, a tape measure comes in handy. The top of the fitted sheet measures or appears shorter than the sides.
You may always start by putting the sheet on the bed; if it does not fit, turn it a half turn on the bed and it will fit.
Once you have found the top of the fitted sheet, mark it with a bit of colored thread to make it easier to find in the future.

Jesus answered, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the greatest and first commandment. And a second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself." - Matthew 22:37-39
...to love God with all our heart, mind, soul, and strength and to love our neighbor as ourselves.
United in Spirit and inspired by God's grace, we welcome all, love all, and seek justice for all.
United in Christ's love, a just world for all.
The church that is now called St. Peter's United Church of Christ began in the nineteenth century as the German Protestant Church. After some years, there were mergers with the Evangelical and Reformed Lutheran churches and, later, with the United Church of Christ and the Congregational Christian Church.
Spring Branch is in the Memorial Villages area of the western edge of Houston in west central Harris County. It began as a religious community settled by German farmers, many of whom owned dairies. The earliest settler was Karl Kolbe, who arrived from Germany in 1830 and settled on the banks of Spring Branch where it joined Buffalo Bayou, nine miles from Houston. In 1848 farmers cleared the surrounding forestland for farms and built St. Peter's United (Lutheran) Church with lumber set aside from one of three local sawmills on a site donated by the Bauer family, who owned the mill. The Spring Branch school district began with the Spring Branch School Society, sponsored by St. Peter's Church in 1856.
Nelda Reynolds, a sixth-generation Kolbe, provided the following historical information in an interview with the Houston Chronicle on October 10, 2002. Spring Branch began as a German community when founder Karl Kolbe sailed from Gotha, Germany, to Galveston. As many German immigrants did, Reynolds said, Kolbe fled the oppressive laws of the German Confederation, a conglomerate of 35 states, each ruled by a prince. Seeking the right of self-determination and opportunity, Germans ventured to Texas, known to many in the 1800s as the "land of milk and honey," Reynolds said. In Texas, Kolbe and the Ahrenbeck, Schroeder and Hillendahl families, all German pioneers, settled on a tributary of Buffalo Bayou, now known as Spring Branch. Church member Karen Herridge said Kolbe named the town Spring Branch after the branches that covered the creek, believed to be supplied by natural springs. Soon, other German families made their home in Spring Branch, including the Rummels, Bauers, and Beinhorns. Reynolds said the families met in the Bauer home for church services for six years as the Spring Branch community continued to grow. Hoping to fill the needs of the thriving community, the Rummels donated land for a church in 1849. Part of the grounds was immediately used as a cemetery in 1850. With the families' combined resources, the German Protestant church was built in 1854.
The families named the new church St. Peter's Church, after one of the 12 disciples in the Bible. "Most Protestant scholars believe Peter led the early Christian community," Reynolds said. "The German families were starting in a new place, and the name was symbolic of a new beginning and their faith in God." In its early days, the church was Spring Branch's town center. "It was their gathering place," Reynolds said. "They always had big barbecues and picnics. It was a gathering place for all their social, recreational and spiritual events. All these farms were spread out, and you went on horse and buggy, so it's not like you went a lot of places." The church also served as Spring Branch's first school, which opened in 1856 and closed in 1889, when the first public school was erected at the corner of Campbell and Long Point.
In 1864, church and school operations were interrupted when a fire damaged the building. The same year, the families built a new-frame church with 12-inch pine logs, perhaps one secret of the structure's longevity, Reynolds said. The church served the congregation for nearly a century until a new larger sanctuary was added in 1961. In 1968, the old chapel was renovated, and a historical marker was posted. "The chapel has all the original pews," Reynolds said. "We put it back into its original state. We also have numerous pictures of the people in the area, historic pictures. "Through the years, the changing faces of the church have accompanied changing denominations."
On January 1, 2019, Cathedral of Hope Houston united with St. Peter United Church of Christ in ministry. We will continue our journey together carrying forth the rich history and legacy of both churches. While our legal name remains St. Peter United Church of Christ, many refer to us as St. Peter United indicating the merged identity of both churches.

If you’ve never picked up a calendar by Papaya, you’re missing out. Most of them feature their iconic floral designs, made even more beautiful with gilded accents. Just looking at my calendar makes me happy, and each year I found myself a little sad whenever it was time to toss the old one and put up a new one. I wanted to be able to keep my favorite designs and put them on display, but having the dates so prominent was a bit of a hindrance. Then I remembered my trusty friend gesso, and knew exactly what I wanted to do.
There was a period of time where I put a messy coat of gesso on just about everything. Plain notebooks and folded note cards were never safe from it. I realized I could cover the date up with gesso and turn the calendar page into a background or frame of sorts. Just a couple coats were all that was needed to obscure the date. I had some dried lavender left over from a different project that I wanted to display somewhere, and realized how perfectly it went with the calendar page I chose. I used washi tape to adhere the lavender to the page, which means it will very easy to remove the lavender whenever I want.
This is one of those quick and easy projects that gives instant gratification, which is something most of us crafters live for. One coworker suggested that the calendar portion could be cut from the page using a craft knife, and the leftover page be used as a matte for a photograph or beautifully penned quote. I think I’ll try that next!

Senior Political Analyst, John Locke Foundation
On Monday, as senators and House impeachment managers prepared for the opening of President Trump’s impeachment trial Tuesday, Democrats and their courtiers in the mainstream press decided to ratchet up the their rhetoric to the point of delusional hysteria.
The House managers—led by Reps. Adam Schiff and Jerrold Nadler—issued a statement that essentially accused Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of a coverup, saying his proposed rules for the trial are “rigged,” nothing more than an “effort to prevent the full truth of the President’s misconduct from coming to light.”
That wasn’t all. Schiff and the impeachment managers also called on Trump’s lead impeachment lawyer, Pat A. Cipollone, to disclose what he knows about the president’s alleged behavior underlying the two articles of impeachment, saying Cipollone is a “material fact witness,” and that, “The ethical rules generally preclude a lawyer from acting as an advocate at a trial in which he is likely also a necessary witness.”
Funny they should mention that. As my colleague Mollie Hemingway pointed out on Twitter, Schiff is himself a material fact witness to this entire impeachment imbroglio, beginning with his office’s coordination with the whistleblower.
As for McConnell’s rules being some kind of coverup, compare them to the House impeachment inquiry, which turned up no evidence of a crime despite Schiff stacking the deck in Democrats’ favor by not allowing GOP members to call witnesses or ask substantive questions.

Another day, another outrageously good looking celebrity couple bites the dust.
E! Online is reporting that Zayn Malik and Gigi Hadid have put their seven-month relationship on ice, formally ending that steamy romance enshrined in the "Pillow Talk" video. Cosplay and teenage love will never be the same.
Speaking with E!, a source familiar with the situation said that while the couple has indeed broken up for now, "they can likely get back together tomorrow." The source went on:
"Zayn and Gigi did break up, but they can likely get back together tomorrow. It's all very unclear what's going on between them now. They been having some issues lately that involved communication and getting along."
The source also said: "Gigi is really sad about this, though, and in a way would like to work it out," adding that she craves "constant contact" with the Mind of Mine singer. The Malik-Hadid episode is an unfortunate bit of celebrity gossip that rubs up against the recent break up of Calvin Harris and Taylor Swift, which was made public Wednesday (June 1). Harris eloquently addressed the break up on Thursday night, although there's been no word from the Swift camp as of yet.

School of Rock, a performance-based music academy, will celebrate its grand opening in Strongsville with an open house from noon to 4 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 22.
The school, which teaches kids and adults to be rock stars, is at 16888 Pearl Road, next to A Taste of Excellence.
Shelley Norehad, who owns two other School of Rock franchises, said the business offers private instrument and vocal lessons, and also assigns students to a band that rehearses together every week.
She said the company also runs a popular "grad school" where people of all ages -- she said most are in their 30s, 40s and 50s -- live out their rock and roll dreams.
Norehad operates School of Rock franchises in Rocky River and Highland Heights. She said she chose Strongsville for the next location because she wanted to expand into the south suburbs.
