FROM LEFT TO RIGHT: Aquarius, Pisces, Salxco, Leo

With Kenro Industries now spanning three decades in business, we have developed great partnerships over the years with some of the most well-known pen manufacturers in the industry. In fact, it wouldn’t be hyperbole to say that Montegrappa’s excellence in the field has become part of our company’s DNA – providing Italian craftsmanship and luxury to all corners of North America.

Because of this, Ryan Sirignano, our resident Montegrappa expert, and company president, Joel Blumberg, jumped at the chance to visit the Montegrappa factory as soon as travel restrictions allowed for them to do so. In Bassano, Ryan and Joel met with Montegrappa president, Giuseppe Aquila, to see the vision of where the manufacturer is heading for 2022 and beyond.

It was while Joel and Ryan were at the Montegrappa factory that the opportunity to create four custom pens for Kenro came up. During their time, Ryan was able to develop four hand-blended Montegrappa Admirals, which we now have in stock at Kenro.

These pens show the marriage of partnership and the creativity that has acted as a ballast for our two brands for decades. The hand-blended colorways range from a soft pink to a fiery orange, giving individual expression and personal preference for each customer. They’re cast from the Admiral silhouette, so have a distinct handfeel, most notable for the curvature of the barrel. Each Admiral is complete with an 18-karat gold nib and the covetable ratcheted piston filler, making for a tactile experience, not unlike the winding of a manual watch.

What we have in these four designs is what Montegrappa and Kenro do right: create pens that elevate the writing experience while not detracting from the overall luxury of each individual pen. Because of the nature of this collection, we have only 25 pens available per color, making for one hundred in total. As a Kenro exclusive, email us for more information.

(NEXSTAR) — Have you ever wondered what the safest places in Texas are?

To determine the rankings, safety and security research outlet SafeWise used crime data from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, in addition to demographics and population information.

As part of the rankings, only cities with populations above 2,500 residents and below 300,000 were included. You can find the full methodology here. A September study by Smart Asset also used FBI data for its list of America’s 10 Safest Cities (though criteria for this were wider), determining at least two of SmartWise’s top 50 rank among the safest in the country — those are McKinney (No. 2) and Frisco (No. 1).

These are the 50 safest cities in Texas, according to SafeWise’s analysis. Asterisks indicate cities that are new to the rankings.

50. Coppell (Dallas County)

49. Cedar Park (Williamson, Travis counties)

48. Lakeway (Travis County)

47. McKinney (Collin County)

46. Whitehouse (Smith County)

SafeWise underlines that its use of “safe” and “dangerous” terms “refer explicitly to crime rates as calculated from FBI crime data — no other characterization of any community is implied or intended.”

The FBI also notes that rankings of its crime statistics are not a way of measuring law enforcement effectiveness in any given area.

Sunglasses Guide For Summer

a variety of sun glasses on a tableLong-term exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun increases your risk of developing eye conditions such as cataractsmacular degeneration and even eye cancer. So often people go to great lengths to protect their skin from the sun’s dangerous UVA and UVB rays, but they neglect to protect their eyes. Wearing sunglasses isn’t simply about comfort or to keep you from squinting – sunglasses can protect your eyes from damage from the sun’s UV rays that could lead to vision loss, and could prevent you from needing cataract surgery or other eye treatments later in life.

Protect your eyes and save your vision by wearing sunglasses any time you are outside. Not sure what to look for in sunglasses? Here are a check out our sunglasses guide:

  • Look for sunglasses that block at least 99 percent of ultraviolet rays. This is the most important factor to consider when buying sunglasses. If you don’t select sunglasses with UV Protection, you aren’t doing your eyes any good. Wraparound sunglasses are ideal, as they will also block rays from entering from the side. UV protection has nothing to do with how dark the tint of your sunglasses is.
  • Select sunglasses with impact-resistant lenses. While no lens is truly unbreakable, look for sunglasses with plastic or polycarbonate plastic lenses. These are more likely to resist shatter when hit. Polycarbonate plastic lenses are used in many sport sunglasses because they are the strongest lenses, but they also scratch easily. If you go with polycarbonate lenses, look for a pair with a scratch-resistant coating.
  • Check the optical quality of sunglasses. You want sunglasses to protect your eyes from the sun’s rays, but you also want to be able to see well when wearing your sunglasses. To test the optical quality of sunglasses, hold them at a comfortable distance from your eye and look through them at a tile floor. Move the sunglasses right to left and up and down. Do the lines of the tile pattern move? If so, choose another pair of sunglasses. If the lenses are of high optical quality, the lines of the tiles shouldn’t move.

Now that you know what to look for, here are a few reminders about wearing sunglasses:

  • Wear sunglasses, even on cloudy days. Though clouds may eliminate brightness from the sun, UV rays can still pass through the clouds and cause damage to your eyes.
  • Protect your eyes in all seasons. Don’t be fooled into thinking you should only wear sunglasses or a hat in the summer. The sun emits UV rays year round.
  • Pay attention to peak sun times. The sun’s UV rays are strongest between the hours of 10am and 2pm. It is best to avoid being outdoors during these hours. If you must be outside during peak sun hours, always wear proper protection.
  • Wear eye protection when skiing as well as when tanning in a tanning bed. UV rays are strongest at higher altitudes. Tanning beds also emit UV rays and proper eye protection should be worn when tanning and skiing as well.

The sun’s rays are very dangerous when we are overexposed to them, but minimal exposure to natural light is healthy. Some research suggests our eyes require some exposure to sunlight each day so that our bodies are able to maintain normal sleep-wake cycles. No matter what, always take your sunglasses with you when you go outside. Cataracts, macular degeneration, eye cancer and other conditions may result from overexposure to the sun. Any of these conditions can lead to vision loss.

When considering your eye care, be sure to stay up to date with the latest news and information about our life-changing services at Key-Whitman Eye Center. Follow us on Facebook and Twitter to stay connected!

What’s inside
by Diana Marshall

12"(30cm) x 14"(36cm)

‘What’s Inside’ – 12″(30cm) x 14″(36cm) – including the frame.

Diana Marshall’s still life paintings are a joy to behold. Her expert handling of detail, colour, light and shade make for extraordinary works. This painting of a cut apple makes for a beautiful piece of original art to have in your home or office. Although clearly an insentient thing in terms of living and breathing, a piece of fruit does however have the ability to change in front of our eyes; Marshall has captured this fruit at its best, fresh and ripe.

Irish Contemporary Art – Framed – Collectable artwork – Diana Marshall – Oil on Canvas

 Your Shipping Choices Explained

NOTE: Due to Covid 19 areas are experiencing delays and some restrictions on deliveries – please enquire directly with us if you are concerned.

We generally use the postal service here in Ireland, called An Post. It is very reliable and we take the utmost care in packing all our pieces professionally to ensure that have the very best chance of arriving safely in their destination.  This option would be at your own risk.

We can also offer you our own cargo insurance at a reasonable price – weight and piece dependent. Please enquire with us for this option. (This will also be packed by us and carried by An Post as above)

Taking into account the delicate nature and cost of your purchase, if you would prefer it travel in a specialized and insured Art Box with an outside Art Handler, then this can be arranged.  For paintings up to and including the size 120cm x 100 cm – prices with an insured professional courier, range from €75 – all the way up to €475 (size and location dependent) NOTE: This option will take considerably longer as we will have to outsource it and get quotes for you before we proceed.

For paintings or items falling outside of those largest dimensions then a further discussion is required – as it may need to have a bespoke crate to be built for it and a further cost will apply.

All shipping enquiries can be directed to kilbahagallery@gmail.com

Inspiration For The Soul

Aug. 23rd, 2014

     Another rainy day in the neighborhood! Oh! Well! No sense in complaining. It will not change the weather situation. What I can change is my attitude for the day! Instead of looking at the rain I am going to focus on rejoicing in the Lord always as the bible tells us too. That might seem corny to you but the truth of that is we can have joyful feelings because God loves us. We need to get out of ourselves and our negative feelings about the day. Stop! See that rain or shine you are very much loved by God. He wants you to have peace in the midst of storms. Can you see that? If you can not see that you are still looking at the clouds. Look at the SON! It shines very bright in the souls of those who let go of self and return the praise and honor He, Jesus, deserves as a King! Have a great day!

Aug., 24th, 2014

     I love Sundays! This is the day I get to sing praises to the Lord and preach! When you are in love with Jesus all you want to do is spend as much time as you can with Him! Church, when the people are filled with the Holy Spirit and are actualy praising the Lord. It is extremely uplifting! Your soul can enter into a spiritual realm that far exceeds this life. In other words you get so moved by the Spirit you can feel edified and refreshed. It is true when you let go of this life and enter into the Kingdom of God! It is real! The Kingdom of God is at hand just like Jesus told us! Find yourself a Spirit filled church and taste and see that the Lord is good! Don't stay alone in life when you can have fellowship with true believers.

Aug., 25th, 2014

     Good morning! Yesterday was great! Today I am looking forward to what God has in store for me. We have tp accept the will of God every day for our lives and then we will have peace! There is no way of accepting this life without it.  Life throws us some nasty curve balls and when they head in our direction we do not know which way it will end up. Do not look at the fly ball but look at the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords! Jesus Christ ,the Son of the Living God , who created the heavens and the earth and will return in the clouds with great glory! Get ready! Excitement in His return will motivate us and keep on doing the work of the Lord as it is edifying to do His will! Have a blessed day in the Lord!

Aug. 26th, 2014

      Let's see what would be inspiring for today? Fall and winter are coming. That can depress some people as going outside sort of ends and it gets darker earlier and we all feel put out by it. School is going to start and for some parents that's a relief from having to deal with the children and their boredom. Can we get excited about something this morning? Are you having any aches and pains that are distressing you? I have a great idea!  Let's think about Jesus and how loving He is. He did not create this messed up world so He is on our side when it comes to straitening it all out. Can we be a bit more patient while we wait for Him to come back and fix this mess? We don't really want to Lord but we know you are in control. The only way out for us is to think on Him and His unwavoring love for us. We really have to believe that with all of our heart and soul. We will not feel so pressured if we know there is a solution to our problems. Nothing is forever accept eternity. Whatever ails you today can possibly be gone tomorrow. Keep your head up and keep looking towards heaven as our redemption will come! Time is unimportant because God has it all figured out for us already. That is a relief. Jesus will, at the perfect time, take us home with Him to our real home. Get ready! That should keep us going for today! Keep your eyes on the Lord! He is amazing and loves you!

Aug., 27th,2014

     This will be a day to rejoice! Why is that you say when you have all kinds of troubles you are dealing with? Rejoice in the Lord always, again I say rejoice! That is what we are told to do. It is the way of the Christian! The Lord God has every thing under control and we are to believe that! If your life seems out of control it is not. You may have done things to spin it out of control or you may not have. The point is we are all under the umbrella of God as His children and He will make restitution for all the sorrows we have suffered because of the evil one. He will not escape the day of God's wrath. God will be justified and the enemy will be bound up. You might think, what does that have to do with me and my life? It has everything to do with us as the children of God. This whole world revolves around God and evil and we are all part of God's army. We will get caught up with the Lord as He returns or we will come back with Him from heaven in the clouds if we have already gone home. One way or the other we will be with Jesus. Life is all about Him. If we have not gotten to that point where our lives are involved with Jesus then we need to take a good look at this world and why we are here. We are not here for our own pleasure but for God's pleasure. He incorporates His will with our will when we connect to Him through the Holy Spirit. We become one and then we get it. We finally realize the truth and then we are set free! Rejoice in the Lord! It's the only way to go! Expect great things to happen for you!

Aug., 28th,2014

     I have to search deep in my soul this morning for inspiration! Not feeing too inspirational right now.  The Holy Spirit is always ready to set us on fire so I just let Him say what is on His mind each day and that is how you read all of these. Today I woke up with the word love and how we really do not even comprehend it. We take the word and put it in an explanation that we can understand as human beings and it actually takes away from the true meaning. Love goes way beyond our complete understanding. We are so caught up in self that love is what we decide to give rather than what it actually is suppoosed to be. You see love is not what we feel like giving to a person. It is what God calls unconditional. We love whether we feel it or not. We choose to love in other words. Jesus chose to love us while we were still sinners. He did not reject us because we were messed up. We pick and choose who we will love in life but it is really not that way. We are called to love one another not when we feel like it but all the time. Can we do that? We can if we stop pointing the finger and just realize we all have shortcomings that God is working on. We can then look beyond our emotions to want to judge and just love each other while we are getting changed into the image of Christ. That is what God is doing with His children. We are being taught and changed into being like Jesus, His son!  We too are the sons and daughters of God and will end up acting like our Father! How cool is that! Keep the faith as you move on in life and follow the Lord into His kingdom right here on earth. It is truth!

Aug, 29th, 2014

     I looked out my window and the clouds were there and I felt gloomy as it seemed that the day was going to be rainy. I took another look though and went to check the weather for the day and it was just foggy this morning and the sun will come out. That is life. It may be cloudy or foggy as we wait for answeres to our prayers. We look from day to day at the weather of life and how it looks to us. When our relationship with God gets deeper we realize that it is not about the clouds it is only about the SON! We get our eyes off of the weather and know that it really does not matter what condition the weather is in. Whether we are ill or poor or just down right unhappy we can see that Jesus is alive and is coming to get us! The rest of the problems we deal with are really meaningless in the whole picture. Everything you are going through right now in your life is for His purpose and plan just for you! Yes, just for you on a personal level. He has allowed whatever you are dealing with just so you will come to the conclusion that Jesus is the Christ and He is the King of KIngs who will reign forever in His Kingdom and we will be with Him for eternity! This life is short and to the point! What point is that? Creating all of us into the image of Jesus! Wow! We are being transformed every day to be like Jesus. Why is that? We are God's children and we have been made in His image and likeness. The enemy has taken us away with lies and deceptions but the Holy Spirit is leading us all to the truth of who we really are! We are God's beautiful children who in our heart of hearts know that truth. It is a matter of recognizing it and then walking in it. Not everyone is a child of God as we were taught when we were kids. The enemy has his own army from when he took one third of God's angels and convinced them that he was going to be the leader. They listened and fell with him. People listen too and will fall with him. We who love the Lord will stand tall with Jesus and live in peace and harmony on this earth when Christ returns. Until then hold your head up high and keep looking at the Son, not the clouds in your life. The sun and the SON is always behind those clouds in your life. The clouds do go away! Rejoice! Today and always we are the children of the Most High God! For eternity!

Aug., 30th, 2014

     Be real to us Father! We try to believe with our heart and soul but at times it just seems we fail. Fear grips us as life dishes out some really hard trials. Being a warrior in your army can seem very trying at times. We ask for your mercy as we do our very best to please you every day. It is hard to understand why this world is so hurtful but it is so full of lies and sorrows that we really can have a hard time holding onto faith. We do need you Father to keep us walking on this path in your Kingdom.  Your Holy Spirit is so amazing to us and He really does lead us to all truth. I pray we all know Him for who He is and recognize Him when he speaks to us! While we learn who we truly are Father I do pray for your mercy to be with us all as we keep moving forward in our lives. You have the abilty as God to create in us new hearts that will follow you and love you,  just because you are the Most high God. Allow us to see you for who you are as our Father wihtout all these doubts that try to steal us away fo m you. Thank you so much for reaching out to every one of us with love and compassion as we struggle to keep our eyes on Jesus! We acknowledge you as Lord and we will do our best to follow you. Thank you for your patience with us. We love you Daddy and may we bring a smile to you this day!

Aug., 31st, 2014

     It is going to rain today but I don't care. Gloomy outside but my soul is shining ever so brightly on the inside. I love today because we gather together to worship the Lord! That might sound corny to some but if you are motivated by the Holy Spirit you will love to praise God! You can not help it when the Holy Spirit has control and keeps you inspired. Whether life is gloomy or bright there is always a spark or a flame that is moving the souls of the children of God. The fire of the Holy Spirit keeps us going. How much is your flame burning? If you feel like you just have a few sparks or even if you feel like the flame is not there ask the Father to ignite you and He will. You will become motivated to praise the Lord. I mean to stop and stand in the presence of God and worship Him, the Son and the Spirit! It will come fom your inner most being and you will feel all three as they become one with you. It is the same oneness that is supposed to happen when we marry. You get so close to each other you can finish each others sentences. As you join souls and become so involved with one another it seems natural to know what the other is feeling. Instead of looking at the rain in the sky let God pour down and shower you with the fire of His Spirit!  Ask and you shall receive! It is truth!

iPhone 13 successor may allow you to management the telephone by blowing into it

Our sights are set on the iPhone 13 and its anticipated launch within the coming months, however we’ve been seeing wild rumors for options that might come within the iPhone 14 or future Apple telephones – and the most recent suggests we may management an iPhone by blowing on it.

The function, which can additionally are available a future Apple Watch, is described in a brand new patent as tech that detects ‘blow occasions’ to change between completely different software program modes and probably navigate a person interface. The tech detects adjustments in stress past a sure threshold and, mixed with a movement sensor, ascertains whether or not a person is deliberately blowing on their machine (or if it’s simply unintentional wind from a person pumping their arms throughout a run, we presume).

The patent description suggests the function would assist customers of both iPhones or Apple Watches – given they’ve to carry or put on such Apple gadgets in or on one hand, blow controls may complement or probably exchange needing the opposite hand. In brief: this looks like a neat alternate approach to management your machine, but it surely additionally might be an accessibility function, too.

Evaluation: iPhone patents are a slew of recent concepts that will by no means come to cross

It wouldn’t be a shock if blow detection by no means makes it into an iPhone, simply by the character of patents and their uncertainty in making it into market fashions. It could be nice if, say, a future iPhone may detect cracks within the display screen and inform customers, or if the show may heal itself, as patents made public within the final 12 months recommend might be in retailer for future Apple telephones.

However we also needs to be mindful all of the concepts that haven’t gotten built-in into iPhones but, like telescopic cameras, or curved screens, or styluses – all from patents going again so far as 2014. These may nonetheless make their method into iPhones, but it surely’s extra probably that these had been merely concepts Apple tinkered with as potential choices that iPhone improvement may observe in the event that they handed the corporate’s notoriously rigorous (and arbitrary) threshold for function desirability. Provided that these options aren’t ubiquitous in telephones, it’s comprehensible why Apple wouldn’t spend money on them.

However Apple patents preserve popping up, giving us concepts at what may are available future iPhones, from the unbelievable to the extra attainable, like a MagSafe-esque magnetic breakaway charger or in-screen Face and Contact ID or the Apple Glasses. But when we’re holding out irrational hope for a class of Apple patents, it’s in all probability for the still-rumored foldable iPhone Flip.

This is a story of an ordinary man who dreams to study abroad.

Having taken IELTS test three times, eventually, I got an overall score of 6.5. I was very delighted with this result. By IELTS certificate, I had already had all required documents to apply for the master degree in Economics. I applied to several universities in the United Kingdom and received the letter of acceptance from them. Subsequently, I only needed a financial support through a full scholarship to finance my study.

I planned to apply for the scholarship which was provided by the Indonesian government. I had tried to apply for this scholarship before; unfortunately, I failed the interview test. Learning from that failure, I prepared better for the second attempt. I also believed that my English speaking skill was also better for the interview test.

Yet no one expected that one day after receiving the IELTS certificate, the Global Banking Officers (GBO) training program was opened. This was a training program for the selected employees as the preparation to work at the overseas branches. The criteria to join this program was the employee had to have good English skills, proved by English test certificate. Coincidentally, I just received the certificate one day ago. I enrolled it immediately.

There were several tests to join the GBO training program. During the selection of the GBO training program process, I also applied for the scholarship. At the beginning of 2015, I went to Jakarta to take the interview test for GBO training program and also the second interview test for the scholarship. Luckily, the interview test was not held on the same day, so I did not have a problem with the schedule.

After the scholarship interview test, I obtained information that I was selected to join the GBO training program. I was so delighted with the result. It was my first success. However, I still waited for the result of the scholarship interview test. If I failed with the scholarship interview test, I could not apply for the scholarship again because I had interview test twice. It implied that my dream to study in the United Kingdom would be buried deeply again.

What I was afraid of happened. I was not selected to receive the scholarship. Despite I was so sad about the scholarship outcome, I was slightly happy because I would join a prestigious training program at my office.

The GBO training program was held in March 2015 in Jakarta. One of the courses in the GBO training program was English. I thought I was lucky because I could join the English course for free. In August 2015, I went to Hong Kong branch to have an internship for one month. I used this opportunity to practice my English skills with the local staff. During the GBO training program, I kept trying to apply for the scholarship to study in Australia and other countries. Unfortunately, I did not get the scholarship; even I did not pass the initial test.

Of this stage in my life, I could take the precious lesson that there was no useless work. Of our hard work, probably we will get the failure, yet we might be achieving another success that we have never thought before. Keep upgrading ourselves and trying to make the dream come true in order to make our dream come true.

The Hardest Part Of TXT’s “Good Boy Gone Bad,” According To Beomgyu

Beomgyu nailed this part even though it was difficult!

All the TXT members absolutely nailed the bad boy concept for their new title track “Good Boy Gone Bad!

TXT | TXT/Weverse

Although the members all did an excellent job with their new title track, Beomgyu revealed that he struggled a bit during the recording sessions for “Good Boy Gone Bad.”

Beomgyu | TXT/Weverse

Beomgyu recently did an interview with Weverse Magazine, and he explained that he struggled with his first few lines in “Good Boy Gone Bad.”

| TXT/Weverse

The song “Good Boy Gone Bad” opened up with a fast, rap-like melody, and Beomgyu has never had to sing so quickly. In his interview, he said he struggled to keep up with the tempo.

That was hard. I felt like, ‘There’s no way Choi Beomgyu can follow along at this tempo with his low blood pressure.’  It felt like I was lagging behind the beat no matter how I tried to sing it. It took a long time to record it. But over time, as my blood pressure rose back up, I rescued the recording.

— Beomgyu

Of course, Beomgyu ended up nailing his lines!

BTS J-Hope’s Childhood Friend Unveils Videos Of His Dancing Skills Before He Become A Trainee

Here’s little 12-year-old J-Hope’s dance skills!

BTS‘s J-Hope is a God of Dance as his dancing skills have been acknowledged on a global level. But was he just born a fantastic dancer or did he work his butt off to get to where he is today?

A childhood friend of J-Hope who went to the same dance academy as he did decided to unveil some never-before-seen videos of J-Hope’s dance skill before he even became a trainee!

The first video shows a young J-Hope, around age 12, auditioning at a dance academy. Despite his young age, he had mastered the art of popping!

The next video showed J-Hope a few years later, where his dance skills had clearly leveled up! He showcased a cleaner dance line and more eccentric moves.

And the final video appeared to be a short time later, but he had leveled up even more! J-Hope was able to use more space and his expressions through movement was deeper than before.

So was J-Hope a born dancer or someone who worked tirelessly to hone his skills? Clearly both!

His childhood friend who had attended the same dance academy as he confirmed that J-Hope was always good at dancing but he never stopped practicing to improve his skills!

He was always practicing hard, so I remember him as a cool oppa.

— Hayoon

And through all the blood, sweat, and tears, J-Hope eventually joined BigHit and became the heart of BTS’s dance line!

Is A Placebo A Sham, If You Know It's A Fake And It Still Works?

Placebos are commonly thought of as fake treatments that people think are real. But they may be helpful even if you know they're fake.
Tim Robberts Getty Images
Placebos are commonly thought of as fake treatments that people think are real. But they may be helpful even if you know they're fake.

Placebos can't cure diseases, but research suggests that they seem to bring some people relief from subjective symptoms, such as pain, nausea, anxiety and fatigue.

But there's a reason your doctor isn't giving you a sugar pill and telling you it's a new wonder drug. The thinking has been that you need to actually believe that you're taking a real drug in order to see any benefits. And a doctor intentionally deceiving a patient is an ethical no-no.

So placebos have pretty much been tossed in the "garbage pail" of clinical practice, says Ted Kaptchuk, director of the Program for Placebo Studies and the Therapeutic Encounter at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. In an attempt to make them more useful, he's been studying whether people might see a benefit from a placebo even if they knew it was a placebo, with no active ingredients. An earlier study found that so-called "open-label" or "honest" placebos improved symptoms among people with irritable bowel syndrome.

And Kaptchuk and his colleagues found the same effect among people with garden-variety lower back pain, the most common kind of pain reported by American adults.

The study included 83 people in Portugal, all of whom had back pain that wasn't caused by cancer, fractures, infections or other serious conditions. All the participants were told that the placebo was an inactive substance containing no medication. They were told that the body can automatically respond to placebos, that a positive attitude can help but isn't necessary and that it was important to take the pills twice a day for the full three weeks.

Then half the group was assigned to simply continue their usual treatment regimens, which included things like non-opioid painkillers, rest and alternative or complementary remedies. (They were also given the opportunity to use the placebo pills at the end of the study, if they chose.) The other half were assigned to continue with their usual treatment, but to also take the placebo.

Participants rated their pain levels and their difficulty in performing daily activities, like getting dressed or climbing stairs, at the beginning and the end of the three-week study. And researchers found that people who received the placebo saw their scores for both usual and maximum pain levels drop by 30 percent, compared to 9 percent and 16 percent declines for the control group. The placebo group also reported a 29 percent reduction in their score for difficulty in performing daily activities, while the control group saw no change. (A higher score on that test indicated more difficulties.)

That translates to a tangible reduction in pain, says Kaptchuk, who is also a professor at Harvard Medical School. "Patients would feel the difference and physicians would notice it," he says.

The study was published earlier this month in the journal Pain.

"These kinds of studies show that a package of care that includes an ethical placebo can have a benefit," says Jeremy Howick, a senior researcher in the University of Oxford's Nuffield Department of Primary Health Care Sciences who researches placebos but wasn't involved in this study. "You might not need to deceive patients to get an effect."

The idea of actually telling people they are getting a placebo is a relatively new line of research. The vast majority of studies that have tested placebos have compared people getting no treatment to people getting a placebo that they thought was a real treatment. A 2010 Cochrane Review of that sort of randomized trial across a variety of conditions found no major clinical effects, generally, though the authors said there was a modest effect in outcomes reported by patients.

In other words, placebos can make people feel better. In a 2011 study by Kaptchuk and colleagues, placebo treatments used in asthma patients produced almost no change in an objective measure of lung function, while the group taking the active drug, albuterol. saw an improvement. But patients said their asthma symptoms improved when they took albuterol, a placebo inhaler or a fake acupuncture treatment, and the reported improvements were better than in patients given no treatment at all.

There's also the question of what, exactly, a placebo is. It's usually defined as a substance that has no therapeutic effect for a given condition. But there's no question that people also benefit from the entire interaction with a physician. "It's absolutely not the pill," Kaptchuk says. "It's what surrounds the pill," he says. That includes a trusting relationship between the doctor and patient. In that situation, if you think the treatment might possibly work — even if you have been told the pill is inactive, as in the back pain study — the brain can fill in the picture and improve symptoms, he says.

Kaptchuk describes this latest study as a proof of principle, and says it has to be replicated among larger groups of people over longer periods of time. But if it pans out, he says he thinks open-label placebos could be a helpful "watch and wait" strategy for people who are considering taking medications for common conditions where urgency isn't a problem. Meantime, he's part of a study at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute looking to see if open-label placebos can reduce fatigue in cancer survivors.

But for placebos to have a place in everyday care, he says, will take a shift in medicine. "It will take patients demanding it," he says.

CEOs Becoming More Active On Political Issues, Including Abortion

Tyler Haney, CEO of Outdoor Voices, is one of more than 180 business leaders who signed a letter opposing restrictive abortion laws.
Rick Kern Getty Images for Inc
Tyler Haney, CEO of Outdoor Voices, is one of more than 180 business leaders who signed a letter opposing restrictive abortion laws.

CEOs have become increasingly outspoken on a variety of political issues — from race relations to LGBTQ rights to higher age restrictions on gun and tobacco sales.

The latest example of this corporate activism came this week, when the leaders of more than 180 businesses — including MAC Cosmetics, electronic payments company Square and clothing-maker Eileen Fisher — signed a letter opposing restrictive abortion laws enacted recently in several states.

The letter, featured in a full-page ad in The New York Times, said that "restricting access to comprehensive reproductive care, including abortion, threatens the health, independence and economic stability of our employees and customers."

Among those signing the letter was Tyler Haney, CEO of Outdoor Voices, who says her recreational-clothing company normally stays out of politics. The company's nine stores aren't in states where restrictive abortion laws were recently enacted, but Haney says she felt she needed to take a stand.

"We believe every person should be empowered to make the right choices for them," she says. The company's mission, Haney says, "is all about access and our commitment to that" and recently enacted state laws were inconsistent with the company's values.

This public rebuke comes on the heels of threats by media companies — including Disney, Netflix and WarnerMedia — to stop filming in Georgia, which has offered tax incentives to encourage media production. That state last month enacted a law, set to take effect in January, banning abortions after a doctor can detect a heartbeat, which can be as early as six weeks into pregnancy. Missouriand Alabamaalso recently enacted restrictive laws, and other states are considering measures.

Historically, leaders spoke out only on issues directly related to their business or that affected their bottom line. Now leaders are taking public stands on issues as controversial as abortion, says Aaron "Ronnie" Chatterji, a business professor at Duke University. (Chatterji has announced he intends to run for North Carolina state treasurer in 2020.)

"I think the definition of what relates to your business and your bottom line is changing," Chatterji says. What matters to workers matters to their leaders, he says. "For many of them, the power, the innovation in those companies is human capital," he says.

The letter is part of a broader campaign called Don't Ban Equality, sponsored by the American Civil Liberties Union, Planned Parenthood, NARAL Pro-Choice America and the Center for Reproductive Rights. Organizers say the letter marks the first step in engaging corporate supporters as the fight over abortion escalates.

About Me

I became a licensed esthetician in 2007, then acquired my CIDESCO Diploma, which is the world’s most prestigious certificate of skin care therapy. I worked at a few medical spas around the bay area before starting at Kaiser Permanente. My approach to skin care is customizing your treatment and skin care routine to fit your skin’s own needs. I like to use aromatherapy in my treatments and make it as relaxing as possible, yet effective as possible.

I think there is a misconception that one treatment will be enough to change your skin and that’s not the case. It takes time to reverse years of damage already done and it takes maintenance treatments and good products to maintain healthy skin, so it’s all about working together to have the best skin you can.

My motto is, “control your skin, don’t let it control you”, and I can help you do that. I’m available for facial treatments and for consultations.

Control of massive blaze expected in September

Posted at 8:54 AM, Aug 08, 2018
and last updated 2018-08-08 11:54:32-04

LAKEPORT, Calif. (AP) – The Latest on California wildfires (all times local):

7:15 a.m.

California fire officials say they expect to gain control of the biggest blaze in state history in September.

The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection said Wednesday the blaze burning near Clear Lake in Northern California has destroyed 116 homes since it started on July 27. It is threatening another 10,000.

The agency also says two firefighters were injured but provided no details.

Experts say California is seeing earlier, longer and more destructive wildfire seasons because of drought, warmer weather attributed to climate change and home construction deeper into the forests.

The massive Mendocino Complex fire of twin blazes burning side-by-side expanded even more overnight to nearly 470 square miles (1,217 square kilometers).

More than 4,000 firefighters battling the blaze have contained 47 percent of it.

This version corrects that firefighters have contained 47 percent of the twin blazes, not one third.

12:00 a.m.

California could be facing the toughest wildfire season ever as some 18 gigantic blazes ravage the state – and the historically worst months are still to come.

Some 14,000 firefighters are battling fires that have destroyed more than 1,000 homes and claimed six lives thanks to wind-whipped flames that have caused an explosive spread through vegetation left tinder-dry by years of drought.

Mark Hartwig of the California Fire Chiefs Association says fires are burning more intensely and quickly than before.

California’s largest recorded blaze – the side-by-side fires dubbed the Mendocino Complex – needed just 11 days to blacken an area nearly the size of Los Angeles.

A deadly fire that destroyed more than 1,000 homes in the Redding area of Northern California is less than 50 percent contained.

Florida boy competing for 'Best Mullet in America'

Mullet kid
Posted at 7:33 PM, Oct 08, 2021
and last updated 2021-10-11 12:00:42-04

NEW PORT RICHEY, FLA. (WFTS) — There are hairstyles, and then there is the mullet. Over the years it’s become a part of pop culture.

For 9-year-old Kayden Manning of New Port Richey, Florida, it's business in the front, party in the back.

“When I went to school on the first day all my friends were saying, ‘I like the haircut’ and some were saying, ‘what happened to your head,'” said nine-year-old Kayden. “Not a lot of kids in my whole school have mullets.”

Kayden got the idea to grow the neck warmer from his own step-dad, Chris, who is in a mullet chat group with some of his friends.

“We hear nice mullet, sweet mullet, whether we are at the baseball field, or out at the beach, anywhere, everybody loves the mullet,” said Chris Brotherton.

Kayden’s family never thought their son’s Tennessee top hat would make him famous, until they discovered the website,

“And I said, ‘wow those are some pretty good mullets I want mine to be like that,’” said Kayden.

Out of 500 entries in the kids' category, Kayden, with his signature American Flag look, found himself in the top 25. Now it’s up to the public to vote for the winner. The first prize receives $2,500.

“He’s such a sweet kid he said, ‘I’ll give you some,’ and I said, ‘no that’s your haircut, your mullet, that’s going right into your bank account,’” said Brotherton.

However, maintaining a championship mane isn’t all glitz and glamour.

“Sometimes my hair gets stuck to my neck but I’m fine with it, it doesn’t bother me,” said Kayden.

So what does mom think about all this?

“They both tried to convince me to cut my hair into a mullet, I’m not that far yet, but I like it on them,” said Brittany Hundertmark.

Kayden said he plans to rock the mullet for the rest of his life.

To vote for Kayden go to and click on his picture. Voting ends October 11.

“Vote for me Tampa Bay I got the winning mullet,” said Kayden.

Famous Business Rivalries

Competition is good for everyone – individuals, companies, education institutes, states and societies. It encourages one to excel in their chosen field, drives innovation and keeps everyone on their toes. The only thing to watch out here – competition should remain healthy. Classic example is the rapid strides made in the space exploration programme in the 1980’s when the USA and USSR were locked in a race to be the first one to send a man on the moon – many often lament that the progress in the space programmes has become slow after the disintegration of the USSR as there is no competition to the USA. It is also true that competition can bring out the worst in us, if the aim is to win at any cost.
Similarly monopolies are bad for the society, especially in business. Notice how most of the monopolies are run by the government - public transport, water and electricity supply, law and order, waste management. Monopolies emerge in the absence of competition eventually get misused as the people have no other choice but to pay the price that the monopolist demands.
Let us now look at some famous business rivalries that have spurred entrepreneurs and benefited customers over the years -
Ferrari vs Lamborghini
Enzo Ferrari founded the company in 1947 that bears his name and is famous for making mean racing machines. Ferrucchio Lamborghini was a tractor engineer who began purchasing Ferraris for personal use in the late 1950s and believed the car could become better with some modifications – suggestions that were promptly brushed off by Mr Ferrari. This led to the birth Lamborghini that competes with Ferrari in making racing cars and has benefited racing fan across the world.
Coke vs Pepsi
The oldest and the most followed rivalries in business history. Coke was launched in 1886 and Pepsi was born 12 years later. Since then they have been in serious competition with one another across the world and have spurred product innovations and many interesting ad campaigns in the process.
Microsoft vs Apple vs Google
Microsoft virtually monopolised the PC market with Windows and was way ahead of Apple till the launch of the IPOD, IPAD and the IPHONE – the founders of both the companies had opposite ideas on how the computing industry should evolve – both the founders were famous dropouts and it did not help that that windows was not suited to run on Apple computers. Microsoft totally missed the move from PC to smart phones and Google capitalised with its famous Android operating system for phones. The rivalry has now shifted to Apple vs Google with Microsoft a distant third in the smart phone OS market. While the verdict is still not out, the loss of Steve Jobs may prove to be a major disadvantage for Apple in this battle.
Ford vs General Motors
Ford was founded in 1908 and General Motors 5 years later. The founders of both the companies and their successors took different paths to build the company but the rivalry still continues a century later.
Visa vs Mastercard
Both Visa and Mastercard are global payment gateways. Financial institutions issuing debit or credit cards tie up with them and issue cards that carry their logo with one of the above. The competition between that has ensured that the transaction charges remain low and the list of the outlets accepting card payments keeps going up and the transactions become secure with each passing day.
So keep the competitive juices flowing and supporting your favourite company. After all, it is for us consumers for whom these business rivalries have been on for centuries and will continue well into the future.
The title for the next weeks blog is being kept a secret and will be unveiled soon (next week, actually).

Turkey's Claims For Drilling Rights In Mediterranean Sea Lead To Threats From Greece

All right, let's head overseas now and talk about all the saber-rattling lately over who controls the Mediterranean Sea. Turkey has staked new claims for drilling rights, upsetting countries around that corner of the sea from Egypt and Israel to Cyprus and Greece. It's led to threats and to international pleas for calm. NPR's Peter Kenyon reports from Istanbul.

PETER KENYON, BYLINE: Greece and Turkey have been neighbors and rivals for a long time. But in early June when Greek Defense Minister Nikos Panagiotopoulos spoke to Greece's Star Television about his latest problem with Turkey, he warned that this time, Athens was prepared to do, quote, "whatever it takes" to defend its interests, even if it meant going to war.

NIKOS PANAGIOTOPOULOS: (Non-English language spoken).

KENYON: Turkey's behavior lately is quite aggressive, he said, adding that besides exhausting diplomatic channels, Greece urgently needed to, quote, "increase the deterrent powers of the armed forces." A poll conducted for a Greek TV station found a majority of Greeks would support military action against Turkey if its maritime borders were violated. When Turkey's defense minister, Hulusi Akar, was asked about his Greek counterpart's comment, he quickly said, it must have been a slip of the tongue.

HULUSI AKAR: (Non-English language spoken).

KENYON: Akar told a Turkish TV interviewer that he was sure the Greek defense minister must have misspoken because he could state, quote, "with mathematical certainty" that the Greeks would not want to stage a war with Turkey. These rising tensions are not about the usual sticking point between them, the divided island of Cyprus, which Turkey invaded in 1974. This dispute is over potentially lucrative natural gas deposits off the Cypriot coast, and Ankara hasn't been shy about making its intentions clear. Earlier this year, Turkish warships blocked an Italian drilling ship attempting to explore under a license from Cyprus. Then Turkey sent two of its own drilling ships to the area, along with support from the Turkish Navy.

Both the U.S. and EU expressed deep concern about the Turkish moves. But after a phone conversation with President Trump, Turkish leader Recep Tayyip Erdogan heaped scorn on Greece's threats.

PRESIDENT RECEP TAYYIP ERDOGAN: (Non-English language spoken).

KENYON: Erdogan compared Greece to a donkey in a lion's skin, and told Athens to, quote, "come to your senses, know your place," or face a harsh response from Turkey. At the heart of this dispute are two very different pictures of the eastern Mediterranean. One involves a maritime border agreement and a pipeline deal involving Greece, Cyprus and Israel. That appears to put these gas resources within the Cypriot exclusive economic zone. The other involves a much more recent deal between Libya and Turkey, which has been backing the Tripoli government in Libya's ongoing civil war. Ankara says that deal gives Turkey undersea exploration rights. So which interpretation is right?

TAREK MEGERISI: I mean, they're both dubious. This is almost kind of like schoolyard antics in international law.

KENYON: Mid-East and North Africa analyst Tarek Megerisi at the European Council on Foreign Relations says both claims are stretching the law.

MEGERISI: So both sides are kind of really pushing the envelope of what's reasonable and logical to try to make a legal claim that will just support them for long enough to create facts on the water.

KENYON: What's needed, Megerisi says, is for an international power to step in and oversee a reconciliation effort that both sides can live with. But since the United States seems less and less interested in doing that these days, he says it remains to be seen who, if anyone, might be willing and able to take on that role.

The Zisa Machine says developers don't pay taxes.
"That's BULLS#@&!"
CHECK THE FACTS: Hackensack is Getting $10 Million A Year!

Candidates backed by the Zisa Machine keep repeating the same “Developers don’t pay any taxes” lie over and over again. This is absolutely false. The truth is that the City is gaining over $10 Million a Year in additional tax revenue as these projects are completed. And that’s just from developers  -- it doesn’t include millions more in additional tax revenue from the dozens of businesses that are opening on and around Main Street.

The Zisa candidates believe that if they keep repeating the same “Big Lie” over and over that people will be fooled. Unfortunately in some cases this is true. So it’s up to us to set the record straight and tell you the truth so you can share it with your friends and family.

The tax revenue Hackensack is getting from development is paying for terrific improvements to our city. The new and expanded M&M Recreation Center is finished. An indoor Sports Dome for residents is being built at Johnson Park. There’s a new Atlantic Street Park and every city park is being improved. Hundreds of streets are being repaved and a major sewer construction project that is underway will tackle severe flooding problems. Our Police Officers are among the first in Bergen County to be equipped with body cameras. Our City’s future has never been brighter!

It’s also true that City Government Taxes (not including school or county taxes) are almost $1.5 million lower today than 2018 -- and that’s the best record on cutting taxes in Bergen County and one of the best in the entire state.  You can prove this for yourself by checking the facts at labrosseteam.com/taxes.

When Jack and Ken Zisa controlled Hackensack, our Downtown looked like a Ghost Town. That’s because their corrupt political machine mismanaged city government and had no vision for our future. All they ever cared about was loading up the city and school payrolls with friends and relatives. Today the Zisa Boys want to run Hackensack again so they can take control of hundreds of millions of dollars in construction projects going on all over the city. You know why! Don’t let it happen.

Climate change focus of B.C. budget after floods, wildfires and heat waves

Human and infrastructure damage of the past year will be a major focus

The challenges of climate change facing British Columbia are expected to be the main focus of the budget Finance Minister Selina Robinson tables today.

Robinson says ensuring communities have the resources they need to address climate change will form a large part of the New Democrat government’s budget for the 2022-23 fiscal year.

Robinson told a pre-budget news conference on Monday that the realities of climate change hit the province over the past year with deadly heat waves, wildfires and storms that caused major flooding and infrastructure damage across southern B.C.

She says the budget will include details about the government’s plans to introduce a year-round B.C. Wildfire Service dedicated to full-time fire prevention, preparedness, response and recovery.

But Robinson was saying little about the financial accounting of the damage caused by last fall’s floods and mudslides that hit agricultural operations in the Fraser Valley, left communities evacuated and brought vital transportation links to a standstill.

In November, Robinson forecast a budget deficit of $1.7 billion for the 2021-22 fiscal year, down from the original projection of $9.7 billion last February.

Kyle Rittenhouse, 17, of Antioch, (left – Twitter, right – Facebook).

A Lake County judge has granted an extradition request to have 17-year-old Kyle Rittenhouse sent to Wisconsin to face murder charges.

Lake County Judge Paul Novak issued the ruling Friday afternoon.

Rittenhouse’s lawyer, John M. Pierce, previously argued that sending Rittenhouse to Wisconsin would violate his 14th Amendment due process right because he would be endangered if put into an adult jail.

Pierce, who planned on calling Rittenhouse’s mother, Wendy, said he had changed plans and would not call her.

During the Friday hearing, Pierce accused both Wisconsin and Illinois authorities of not following legal technicalities in the extradition process.

Pierce said that the issues included a typographical mistake and a missing signature on an Illinois arrest citation. “This Illinois child must go free,” Pierce said to Novak during the hearing.

Lake County Sheriff Spokesman Sgt. Christopher Covelli told Lake and McHenry County Scanner that Rittenhouse has since been transported by the sheriff’s office to the Kenosha County Jail.

Rittenhouse, 17, of Antioch, is facing charges in Wisconsin of first-degree intentional homicide, two counts of first-degree recklessly endangering safety, first-degree reckless homicide, attempted first-degree intentional homicide and possession of a dangerous weapon by a person under 18.

Gov. J.B. Pritzker signed a warrant to return Rittenhouse to Wisconsin after a request from Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers, according to the Associated Press.

Prosecutors also said that the defense’s arguments about what happened in Kenosha have no place in the extradition hearing.

The Lake County State’s Attorney’s Office has said that the gun Rittenhouse used in the Kenosha shootings was purchased, stored and used in Wisconsin. No crimes were committed in Lake County.

Prosecutors said there is no evidence the gun was ever physically possessed by Rittenhouse in Illinois.

Rittenhouse is accused of shooting and killing Joseph Rosenbaum, 36, and Anthony Huber, 26, on August 25 near 63rd Street and Sheridan Road in Kenosha.

The following is a probable cause statement written by prosecutors based on information received from several police detectives with the Kenosha Police Department:

“On August 25th at approximately 11:45 pm a shooting occurred at Car Source which is located at the northwest corner of 63rd St. and Sheridan Road in the City and County of Kenosha, State of Wisconsin. The man who was shot at this location was identified as Joseph Rosenbaum. Rosenbaum was transported to a local hospital where a doctor declared him to be deceased on August 26, 2020 at 12:47 am.”

“In the course of investigating this incident, law enforcement reviewed and shared with your complainant [prosecutors] multiple videos that appeared to be recorded on cell phones. In the first video, a male who was later identified to be Kyle H. Rittenhouse, DOB: 01/03/03 (hereinafter “the defendant”), is running southwest across the eastern portion of the Car Source parking lot. The defendant is a resident of Antioch, IL.”

“The defendant can clearly be seen holding a long gun, which was later recovered by law enforcement and identified as a Smith & Wesson AR-15 style .223 rifle. The recovered magazine for this rifle holds 30 rounds of ammunition. Following the defendant is Rosenbaum and trailing behind the defendant and Rosenbaum is a male who was later identified as Richard McGinnis, a reporter.”

“The video shows that as they cross the parking lot, Rosenbaum appears to throw an object at the defendant. The object does not hit the defendant and a second video shows, based on where the object landed, that it was a plastic bag. Rosenbaum appears to be unarmed for the duration of this video.”

“A review of the second video shows that the defendant and Rosenbaum continue to move across the parking lot and approach the front of a black car parked in the lot. A loud bang is heard on the video, then a male shouts, “F–k you!”, then Rosenbaum appears to continue to approach the defendant and gets in near proximity to the defendant when 4 more loud bangs are heard. Rosenbaum then falls to the ground.”

“The defendant then circles behind the black car and approaches Rosenbaum. Rosenbaum remains on the ground. McGinnis also approaches, removes his shirt, and attempts to render aid to Rosenbaum. The defendant appears to get on his cell phone and place a call.”

“Another male approaches, and the defendant turns and begins to run away from the scene. As the defendant is running away, he can be heard saying on the phone, “I just killed somebody.”

“Detective Cepress interviewed McGinnis and indicates the following: Before the shooting, McGinnis was interviewing the defendant. The defendant told McGinnis that he was a trained medic. McGinnis stated that he (McGinnis) has handled many ARs and that the defendant was not handling the weapon very well.”

“McGinnis said that as they were walking south another armed male who appeared to be in his 30s joined them and said he was there to protect the defendant. McGinnis stated that before the defendant reached the parking lot and ran across it, the defendant had moved from the middle of Sheridan Road to the sidewalk and that is when McGinnis saw a male (Rosenbaum) initially try to engage the defendant.”

“McGinnis stated that as the defendant was walking Rosenbaum was trying to get closer to the defendant. When Rosenbaum advanced, the defendant did a “juke” move and started running. McGinnis stated that there were other people that were moving very quickly.”

“McGinnis stated that they were moving towards the defendant. McGinnis said that according to what he saw the defendant was trying to evade these individuals.”

“McGinnis described the point where the defendant had reached the car. McGinnis described that the defendant had the gun in a low ready position. Meaning that he had the gun raised but pointed downward. The butt of the gun would have been at an angle downwards from the shoulder.”

[Suggested Article]  Man arrested for allegedly threatening shooting in Highland Park, prompting SWAT response

“McGinnis stated that the defendant brought the gun up. McGinnis stated that he stepped back and he thinks the defendant fired 3 rounds in rapid succession.”

“McGinnis said when the first round went off, he thought it hit the pavement. McGinnis felt something on his leg and his first thought was wondering whether he had gotten shot. McGinnis was behind and slightly to the right of Rosenbaum, in the line of fire, when the defendant shot.”

“McGinnis stated that the first round went into the ground and when the second shot went off, the defendant actually had the gun aimed at Rosenbaum. McGinnis stated he did not hear the two exchange any words. McGinnis said that the unarmed guy (Rosenbaum) was trying to get the defendant’s gun.”

“McGinnis demonstrated by extending both of his hands in a quick grabbing motion and did that as a visual on how Rosenbaum tried to reach for the defendant’s gun.”

“Detective Cepress indicates that he asked McGinnis if Rosenbaum had his hands on the gun when the defendant shot. McGinnis said that he definitely made a motion that he was trying to grab the barrel of the gun. McGinnis stated that the defendant pulled it away and then raised it. McGinnis stated that right as they came together, the defendant fired. McGinnis said that when Rosenbaum was shot, he had leaned in (towards the defendant).”

“McGinnis stated that after the defendant shot he ran back towards the hospital towards the middle of the road. McGinnis stayed and turned his attention to Rosenbaum. McGinnis stated that he then heard other shots really soon after.”

“The third video that your complainant [prosecutors] reviewed shows the defendant running northbound on Sheridan Road after he had shot Rosenbaum. The street and the sidewalk are full of people. A group of several people begin running northbound on Sheridan Road behind the defendant. A person can be heard yelling what sounds like, “Beat him up!” Another person can be heard yelling what sounds like, “Hey, he shot him!”

“Your complainant [prosecutors] reviewed a fourth video that showed a different angle of the defendant running northbound. In this video a person can be heard yelling, “Get him! Get that dude!” Then a male in a light-colored top runs towards the defendant and appears to swing at the defendant with his right arm. This swing makes contact with the defendant, knocking his hat off.”

“The defendant continues to run northbound. On the video a male can be heard saying something to the effect of, “What’d he do?” Another male can be heard responding something to the effect of, “Just shot someone.” Then a male can be heard yelling, “Get his a–!” The defendant then trips and falls to the ground.”

“As the defendant is on the ground, an unidentified male wearing a dark-colored top and light-colored pants jumps at and over the defendant. Based on the sounds of gunshots on the video and the positioning of the defendant’s gun, it appears that he fires two shots in quick succession at this person.”

[Suggested Article]  17-year-old boy killed, second teenager hospitalized after shooting in Zion

“It appears that that person was not hit as he then runs away from the defendant. A second person who was later identified as Anthony Huber approaches the defendant who is still on the ground, on his back.”

“Huber has a skateboard in his right hand. When Huber reaches the defendant it appears that he is reaching for the defendant’s gun with his left hand as the skateboard makes contact with the defendant’s left shoulder. Huber appears to be trying to pull the gun away from the defendant.”

“The defendant rolls towards his left side and as Huber appears to be trying to grab the gun the gun is pointed at Huber’s body. The defendant then fires one round which can be heard on the video. Huber staggers away, taking several steps, then collapses to the ground. Huber subsequently died from this gunshot wound.”

“After shooting Huber, the defendant moves to a seated position and points his gun at a third male, later identified as Gaige Grosskreutz, who had begun to approach the defendant.”

“When the defendant shot Huber, Grosskreutz freezes and ducks and takes a step back. Grosskreutz puts his hands in the air. Grosskreutz then moves towards the defendant who aims his gun at Grosskreutz and shoots him, firing 1 shot.”

“Grosskreutz was shot in the right arm. Grosskreutz appears to be holding a handgun in his right hand when he was shot. Grosskreutz then runs southbound away from the defendant screaming for a medic and the defendant gets up and starts walking northbound.”

“The defendant turns around facing southbound while walking backwards northbound with his firearm in a ready position, pointed towards the people in the roadway.”

“Dr. Kelley of the Milwaukee Medical Examiner’s Office conducted an autopsy on Joseph Rosenbaum. Dr. Kelley indicated that Rosenbaum had a gunshot wound to the right groin which fractured his pelvis, a gunshot wound to the back which perforated his right lung and liver, a gunshot wound to the left hand, a superficial gunshot wound to his lateral left thigh, and a graze gunshot wound to the right side of his forehead.”

“Dr. Kelley also conducted an autopsy on Anthony Huber. Dr. Kelley indicated that Huber had a gunshot wound to his chest that perforated his heart, aorta, pulmonary artery, and right lung.”

“Detective Antaramian spoke with Dominic Black on August 26, 2020. Dominic stated that he received a phone call from his friend Kyle Rittenhouse, the defendant, at 11:46 pm in which the defendant stated that he shot someone. Detective Antaramian saw the defendant in person at the Antioch, IL Police Department and identified the defendant as the shooter in the various videos.”

“Intent is the new demographic,” said Kathy Bloomgarden, Ruder Finn co-CEO. “Delving deeper into the underlying motivations of online behavior is critical to developing proactive strategies.”

Overall, Ruder Finn divided online activities into six categories, listed from most common to least:

  • Learn
  • Have fun
  • Socialize
  • Express oneself
  • Advocate
  • Do business
  • Shop

Men were more likely than women to go online for business, entertainment and to keep informed on news and current events.

Women, in turn, were more likely to use the Internet to advocate for a cause or issue, express themselves and socialize.

More than two-thirds (69%) of young adults ages 18 to 29 posted comments on social networking sites, 55% played games and 50% went online “specifically to rage against a person or organization.”

Seniors were nearly twice as likely as young people to manage their finances, and 65% of seniors went online to be part of a community.
