The Conclusive Guide To Vape Coil Wire Guide

Vape coils are made exclusively for use in your vape tank or rebuild able atomizer. A wrapped length of metal wire and a cotton wick make up the majority of coils. The wick absorbs e-liquid, which the coil heats to the point of vaporization. Because coil wire comes in a variety of shapes and sizes, it's crucial to know which ones are suitable for the vaping style you want. Because different metals have varied properties, only specific coil types are compatible with certain output modes. We'll explain the conclusive guide to vape coil wire guide.

Why Is The Type And Size Of Vapor Wire Matter?

The first topic we'll go over is vape wire. Because of three factors – flavor, vapor output, and ramp-up time – the wire type and size are quite important. Each wire variety (there are five) has a somewhat different flavor, as well as distinctive construction obstacles and opportunities. Knowing the many types of vape wires can assist you in selecting the best one for your vaping style and preferences.

Gauge Of The Wire

Vapers refer to the actual diameter of the wire when they speak of the wire size. Coils most popularly used as 32, 30, 28, 26, 24, and 22 – with these, most of the vapor coils can be made, including the most eccentric and used for excellent vapors.

Here I would remind you that the larger the numerical number of the gauge, the thinner the wire. 28g is more than 30g in diameter, but less than 26g. In addition, an increase in diameter will lead to a lower resistance, meaning that the wire is to be heated longer.

Which Wires Should You Use For Temperature And Wattage Control Vaping?

You're probably aware that there are two types of vaping modes: wattage mode and temperature control mode. Of course, it would be ideal if we could simply utilize any old vape wire type for both modes. Unfortunately, that is not the case. Here's why: certain wire types act differently at ambient temperature than they do when heated. For example, nickel wire can be 0.15-ohm at room temperature, but when you fire it in your mod, the resistance skyrockets, which can cause issues.

Temperature control vaping differs from pure wattage vaping in that the current provided to a coil is regulated by the Temperature Coefficient of Resistance (TCR) of a specific wire. To use the same example, nickel behaves consistently with regards to rise in temperature – the wire will always be a specific resistance at given temperatures. A TC mod will utilize that stable increase to calculate resistance as the coil heats up, decreasing the current temperature to keep the coil at a safe temperature.

Types Of Vape Wires

Kanthal, nichrome, Stainless Steel, Nickel, and Titanium are the most common types of vape wires.

Kanthal coil wire is the most popular type of coil wire used in e-cigarettes. The reason for this is that it is economical to obtain and simple to use, while also offering good flavor and cloud production. Tank coils and custom build coils for rebuild able atomizers both use Kanthal Coil Wire.

Kanthal wire comes in a variety of resistances and can be used for sub ohm vaping as well as mouth to lung vaping. Kanthal can only be used in Variable Wattage mode, but due to its adaptability, it is compatible with most vape equipment.

  • Frequent
  • Only the temperature control mode is available.
  • At higher temperatures, it performs admirably.
  • Produces a lot of clouds and has a strong flavor.
  • Building With Can Be Challenging

Nichrome coil wire, often known as Ni80, is similar to Kanthal in that it's inexpensive and can only be utilized in Variable Wattage Mode. This makes it suitable for a variety of vape kits and devices, and it's available in tank coils as well as prebuilt coils for rebuild able atomizers. Nichrome warms up more quickly than Kanthal, allowing for a quicker ramp-up and larger cloud generation.

  • Only the variable wattage mode is available.
  • Faster ascension than Kanthal
  • Suitable For Large-Scale Cloud Creation
  • Compatible with the Largest Number Of Vape Kits

Titanium coil wire, often known as Ti wire, is becoming more popular in the ever-growing vape market, despite its rarity. This wire can only be used in Temperature Control Mode, which is found on a variety of complex sub ohm vape mods. Titanium coil wire retains its shape at extreme temps, meaning its Ohm resistance remains stable, and it's simple to work with, making it perfect for cloud chasing.

  • Only the temperature control mode is available.
  • Simple To Assemble
  • Maintains its shape
  • At extreme temperatures, it performs admirably.

Mesh coils have become one of the most popular vaping options for both newcomers and seasoned veterans. These coils are often made of Stainless Steel or Kanthal materials and are now commonly available for most devices and rdas. Mesh coils replace the conventional wire heating element used in ordinary coils with metallic mesh, providing a rich source of flavor due to the larger surface area heated. When compared to traditional round wire coils, this results in faster firing, a longer lifespan, and improved overall power efficiency.

  • Popularity and Availability
  • A flavorful sauce
  • More Rapid Firing
  • Long Life Expectancy
  • Efficient use of energy

The Best Flavor Vape Coils

The flavor is something that is highly subjective. To one vaper, what tastes amazing to them may seem stale or overbearing to another. With that in mind, we went about selecting different coils for various flavours based on feedback from a variety of users on the forum.

Final Remarks

Because choosing and utilizing the perfect coil may make or break your vaping experience, it's critical to understand the advantages and properties of each type. We propose that you take this information as a starting point for your search and that you thoroughly investigate your coil before utilizing it. Before using your vape device, make sure it's compatible.

Make sure to contact us if you have any inquiries about the conclusive guide to vape coils or vaping in general.

Reba McEntire's history with the CMA Awards goes back for decades. She's hosting the show with Darius Rucker in 2020 — a gig she's held four times before — and is a favorite performer and presenter and a multi-time winner.

McEntire's very first CMA Awards nomination — her first two of 50 total — came in 1983, when she was nominated for both Female Vocalist of the Year and the Horizon Award (now New Artist of the Year). Her first win, in the former category, came one year later. McEntire won Female Vocalist of the Year four consecutive years, in fact, from 1984 through 1987; in 1986, she was also named Entertainer of the Year.

McEntire has also hosted the CMA Awards four times: with Randy Travis in 1990, solo in '91, with Vince Gill in '92 and with Dolly Parton and longtime CMA Awards co-host Carrie Underwood in 2019.

McEntire's CMA Awards fashion choices have flowed with the trends over the years, but she's almost always gone for long gowns (and even a pantsuit or two!). No matter the year, though, and even when she's busting a move onstage (just wait ...), she's looked classy and poised.

Concert Review

Forever Warped

This year marked the last Cross Country Vans Warped Tour, and you already know that The Saw was there in the middle of the madness. I got to see some of my favorite bands – Wage War, Chelsea Grin, and Kublai Khan. Although it rained the majority of the time, it didn’t stop us from moshing and crowd surfing to our favorite bands. There were people on their friend’s shoulders chicken fighting and another guy with a blow up guitar in the middle of the pit acting like he was playing the song (literally every band gave him a shout out because of this).

I got to meet Chelsea Grin and Kublai Khan after their sets and both bands are so sweet. The singer for Kublai Khan, Matt, wore a local Greensboro hardcore band (MESS) shirt during their set. It was super cool to see a big name, respected band give support to local acts.

Since this was the last Warped Tour, I thought it would be fun to write about my favorite Warped Tour memory of all-time. Let’s throw it back to Vans Warped Tour in 2015 when I went by myself. This was the first show that I was going to alone, and my first ever Warped Tour. I wanted to go because one of my favorite bands, Miss May I, was playing and I’ve never seen them before. I just got my license, and this would be the first road trip to Charlotte, alone. None of my friends liked metal and my parents didn’t want to go, so I only had one option: to go alone. Luckily for me, I have been to plenty of shows with my parents, brothers, and cousins to know what to expect at shows. I was nervous, but I knew that this was the only one that I could see Miss May I.

When I got to the PNC Pavilion, I wasn’t really nervous, I was more excited than anything else to be going to Warped Tour. It was great being by myself because I didn’t have to meet up with anyone, I could go wherever I wanted whenever I wanted, and I could see the bands that I wanted to see. I loved the independence of it, and I think this is one of the main reasons why I am very independent today. I really wanted to try and meet Miss May I, so I went to their merch tent and found out when they were doing signings. I was actually going to meet one of my favorite bands. When I met them, they were really sweet, and I enjoyed talking to them (they signed my ticket and they put hearts near their names. Now they are my husbands). I was in the front for their set and I sang every song with them. Levi (the lead singer), pointed at me and gave me a hug during their set when they played “Hey Mister.” I met Levi again after their set and he said he remembered me and thanked me for jamming out.

I also heard a new metalcore band, that is now one of my favorites, at the Warped Tour of 2016: Wage War. I never heard of Wage War until I went to Warped Tour. They were playing their first song when I walked by the stage, and I ended up jamming out to their set. I also got to meet them after their set and they were such sweethearts. Since seeing them at Warped Tour, I have seen Wage War every chance I get when they come through North Carolina.

Because of Warped Tour, I have matured so much. It helped me become more independent and rely on myself. Now, I’m not afraid to go to shows by myself because I know I will make friends along the way. Every Warped Tour I’ve been to since then, I went by myself. The majority of the shows I go to now, I go alone.

Although Warped Tour might be coming to an end, it has given me memories and lessons that I will remember for a lifetime. Thank you, Warped Tour for the great memories.

You will be missed.

Stay Metal,

Goethe and the Evolution of Consciousness

A lecture given at Dornach, 19th August, 1921. From a shorthand report unrevised by the lecturer. All rights reserved by the Philosophisch-Anthroposophischer Verlag, Dornach, Switzerland. English translation published by permission of H. Collison, by whom all rights are reserved.

THE views which have to be developed in anthroposophical Spiritual Science in order to comprehend man and the world are more easily understood if we study the changes that have taken place in the mental outlook of man through the centuries. If we tell people to-day that in order really to know something about the nature of man, quite a different outlook is necessary from that to which they are accustomed, their first reaction will be one of astonishment and, for the moment, the shock will make them put aside all such knowledge. They feel that one thing at least remains constant, namely, man's spiritual or mental attitude to the things of the world. This is very evident in the outlook of many teachers of history at the present time. They declare that, so far as his mental attitude is concerned, man has not fundamentally changed throughout history and that if this were otherwise there could really be no history at all. They argue that in order to write history it is essential to take the present mental attitude as the starting-point; if one were obliged to look back to an age when human beings were quite differently constituted in their life of soul, it would be impossible to understand them. One would not understand how they spoke or what they did. Historical thought, therefore, could not comprise any such period. From this the modern historian infers that human beings must always have possessed fundamentally the same frame of mind, the same mental outlook as they possess to-day. — Otherwise there could be no history.

This is obviously a very convenient point of view. For if in the course of historic evolution man's life of soul has changed, we must make our ideas plastic and form quite a different conception of former epochs of history from that to which we are accustomed to-day.

There is a very significant example of a man who found it inwardly and spiritually impossible to share in the mental attitude of his contemporaries and who was forced to make such a change in his whole outlook. This significant example — and I mention his name to-day merely by way of example — is Goethe.

As a young man Goethe necessarily grew up in the outlook of his contemporaries and in the way in which they regarded the world and the affairs of human beings. But he really did not feel at home in this world of thought. There was something turbulent about the young Goethe, but it was a turbulence of a special kind. We need only look at the poems he composed in his youth and we shall find that there was always a kind of inner opposition to what his contemporaries were thinking about the world and about life.

But at the same time there is something else in Goethe — a kind of appeal to what lives in Nature, saying something more enduring and conveying much more than the opinions of those around him could convey. Goethe appeals to the revelations of Nature rather than to the revelations of the human mind. And this was the real temper of his soul even when he was still a child, when he was studying at Leipzig, Strassburg and Frankfurt, and for the first period of his life at Weimar.

Think of him as a child with all the religious convictions of his contemporaries around him. He himself relates — and I have often drawn attention to this beautiful episode in Goethe's early life — how as a boy of seven he built an altar by taking a music-stand and laying upon it specimens of minerals from his father's collection; how he placed a taper on the top, lighting it by using a burning-glass to catch the rays of the sun, in order, as he says later — for at seven years he would not, of course, have spoken in this way — to bring an offering to the great God of Nature.

We see him growing beyond what those around him have to say, coming into a closer union with Nature, in whose arms he first of all seeks refuge. Read the works written by Goethe in his youth and you will find that they reveal just this attitude of mind. Then a great longing to go to Italy seizes him and his whole outlook changes in a most remarkable way.

We shall never understand Goethe unless we bear in mind the overwhelming change that came upon him in Italy. In letters to friends at Weimar he speaks of the works of art which conjure up before his soul the whole way in which the Greeks worked. He says: “I suspect that the Greeks proceeded according to those laws by which Nature herself proceeds, and of which I am on the track.” — At last Goethe is satisfied with an environment, an artistic environment enfilled with ideas much closer to Nature than those around him in his youth. And we see how in the course of his Italian journey the idea of metamorphosis arises from this mood of soul, how in Italy Goethe begins to see the transformation of leaf into petal in such a way that the thought of metamorphosis in the whole of Nature flashes up within him.

It is only now that Goethe finds a world in which his soul really feels at home. And, if we study all that he produced after that time, both as a poet and a scientist, it is borne in upon us that he was now living in a world of thought not easily intelligible to his contemporaries, nor indeed to the man of to-day.

Those who embark upon a study of Goethe equipped with the modern scholarship acquired in every kind of educational institution from the Elementary School to the University, and with habitual thought and outlook, will never understand him. For an inner change of mental outlook is essential if we are to realise what Goethe really had in his mind when, in Italy, he re-wrote Iphigenia in Greek metre, after having first composed it in the mood of the Germanic North. Nor is it possible to understand Goethe's whole attitude to Faust until we realise the fundamental nature of the change that had taken place.

After he had been to Italy, Goethe really hated the first version of Faust which he had written earlier. After that journey he would never have been able to write the passage where Faust turns away from the

“... heavenly forces rising and descending,
Their golden urns reciprocally lending,”

where he turns his back upon the macrocosm, crying: “Thou, Spirit of the Earth art nearer to me.” After the year 1790 Goethe would never have written such words. After 1790, when he set to work again upon his drama, the Spirit of the Earth is no longer ‘nearer’ to him; he then describes the macrocosm, in the Prologue in Heaven, turning in the very direction from which, in his younger days he had turned away. When he speaks in suitable language of heavenly forces ascending and descending with their golden urns, he does not inwardly say: “Thou Spirit of the Earth art nearer,” but he says: Not until I rise above the earthly to the heavenly, not until I cease to cleave to the Spirit of the Earth can I understand Man. — And many other passages can be read in the same sense. Take, for instance, that wonderful treatise written in the year 1790, on the Metamorphosis of the Plants (Versuch, die Metamorphose der Pflanzen zu erkennen). We shall have to admit that before his journey to Italy Goethe could never have had at his command a language which seems to converse with the very growth and unfolding life of the plants. And this is an eloquent indication of the place of Goethe's soul in the whole sweep of evolution. Goethe felt a stranger to the thought of his time the moment he was obliged inwardly to ‘digest’ the result of contemporary scientific education. He was always striving for a different kind of thinking, a different way of approaching the world, and he found it when he felt that he had brought to life within him the attitude of the Greeks to Nature, to the World, to Man.

The modern physicist rejects Goethe because he lives in the very world which was so alien to Goethe in his youth. But, when all is said and done, it is more honest to reject than to express hollow agreement. Goethe could never fully find his way into the view of the world which had grown up since the fifteenth century. In his youth he was opposed to it, and after his Italian journey he let it pass, because he had gained something else from his intimacy with Greek culture.

What, then, is it that has permeated man's conception of the world and his view of life since the fifteenth century? It is, in reality, the thought of Galileo. This kind of thought tries to make the world and the things of the world comprehensible through measure, number and weight. And it simply was not in Goethe to build up a conception of the world based upon the principles of measure, number and weight.

That, however, is only one side of the picture. There is a certain correlative to what arises in man when he views the world according to measure, number and weight. It is the abstract concept — mere intellectualism. The whole process is quite evident: The application of the principles of measure, number and weight in the study of external Nature since about the middle of the fifteenth century runs parallel with the development of intellectualism — the bent towards abstract thinking, the tendency of thought to work chiefly in the element of reason. It is really only since the fifteenth century that our thinking has been so influenced by our partiality for mathematics, for geometry, for mechanics.

Goethe did not feel at home either with the principles of measure, number and weight as applied to the world, or with purely intellectualistic thought.

The world towards which he turned knew little, fundamentally speaking, of measure, number and weight. Students of Pythagorean thought will easily be misled into the belief that the world was viewed then just as we view it to-day. But the characteristic difference is that in Pythagorean thought, measure, number and weight are used as pictures — pictures which are applied to the cosmos and in close relation always with the being of man. They are not yet separated from man. And this very fact indicates that their application in Pythagorean thought was not at all the same as in the kind of thought that has developed since the middle of the fifteenth century. Anyone who really studies the writings of a man like John Scotus Erigena in the ninth century will find no trace of similarity with our method of constructing a world out of chemical and physical phenomena and theorising about the beginning and ending of the world on the basis of what we have learnt by measuring, counting and weighing. In the thought of John Scotus Erigena, the outer world is not so widely separate from man, nor man from the outer world. Man lives in closer union with the outer world and is less bent upon the search for objectivity than he is to-day. We can see quite clearly how all that unfolded in Greek culture since the age of Pythagoras manifested in later centuries and above all we can see it in a man like John Scotus Erigena. During this era the human soul lived in a world of absolutely different conceptions, and it was precisely for these conceptions that Goethe was driven to seek by a fundamental urge connected with the deeper foundations of his life of Soul.

We can have no clear idea of what this really means unless we consider another historical fact to which little attention is paid to-day. In my book Ratsel der Philosophie I have spoken of this historical fact in one setting and will approach it to-day from a different angle.

We men of modern times must learn to make a clear distinction between concept and word. Not to make this distinction between what lives in abstract reason and what lives in the word can only pervert our clarity of consciousness. Abstract reason is, after all, a universal principle, universal and human. The word lives in the several national tongues. It is not difficult to distinguish there between what lives in the idea or concept, and in the word.

We shall not succeed in understanding such historical records of Greek culture as still remain extant, if we imagine that the Greeks made the same distinction as we make between the concept and the word. The Greeks made no sharp distinction between concept or idea, and word. When they were speaking it seemed to them that the idea lived upon the wings of the words. They believed that the concept was carried into the word itself. And their thinking was not abstract and intellectualistic as our thinking is to-day. Something like the sound of the word — although it was inaudible — passed through their souls, sounding inaudibly within them. The word — not by any means the abstract concept — was imbued with life. Everything was different in an age when it would have been considered altogether unnatural to educate the minds of the young as we educate them to-day. It is characteristic of our civilisation — although we seldom give any thought to the matter — that a large majority of our boys and girls between the ages of ten and eighteen are engaged in absorbing Latin and Greek — dead languages. Can you imagine a young Greek being expected to learn the Egyptian or Chaldean languages in the same way? Such a thing is absolutely unthinkable! The Greek not only lived in his speech with his thinking, but to him speaking was thinking. Thinking was incarnate in speech itself. This may be said by some to have been a limitation, but it is a fact nevertheless. And a true understanding of the legacy that has come to us from Greece can only consist in a realisation of this intimate union between the concept or idea, and the word. The word lived in the soul of the Greek as an inward, inaudible sound.

When the human soul is constituted in this way, it is quite impossible to observe the world after the manner of Galileo, that is to say, in terms of measure, number and weight. Measure, number and weight simply are not there, they do not enter into the picture. As an external symptom only, it is significant that the physics, for example, taught to nearly every child to-day would have been regarded as miracle by the Greeks. Many of the experiments we explain to-day in terms of measure, number and weight would have been looked upon as pure magic in those days. Any history of physics tells us as much. The Greek did not enter into what we call ‘inorganic Nature’ in the way we do to-day. The very nature of his soul made this impossible because he did not pass on to abstract thoughts as we have done ever since the time of Galileo.

To live in the word as the Greeks lived in the word meant that instead of making calculations based on the results of experiments, they observed the changes and transformations taking place unceasingly in the life of Nature. Their attention was turned not to the world of minerals but chiefly to the world of the plants. Just as there is a certain affinity between abstract thought and the comprehension of the mineral world, so there is an affinity between the Greek attitude to the word and the comprehension of growth, of life, of constant change in living beings. When we conceive of a beginning and an ending of a mineral Earth to-day and build up our hypotheses, these hypotheses are an image of what we have measured, counted, weighed. We evolve a Kant-Laplace theory, or we conceive of the entropy of the Earth. All these things are abstractions, derived from what we have measured, counted and weighed.

And now, by way of contrast, look at the Greek cosmogonies. One feels that the ideas here are nourished and fed by the very way in which the vegetation shoots forth in spring, by the way it dies in autumn — growing up and then vanishing. Just as we construct a world-system out of our concepts and observations of the material world, so did the Greeks construct a world-system from observation of all that is revealed in vegetation. In short, it was from the world of the living that their myths and their cosmogonies originated.

The arrogant scientist of modern times will say: ‘Yes, but that was all childish. We are fortunate in having got beyond it. We have made such splendid progress.’ And he will look upon all that can be obtained by measuring, counting and weighing as something absolute. But those who are less prejudiced will say: Our way of viewing the world has developed out of the Greek way of looking at the world. The Greeks formed a picture of the world by contemplating the realm of the living. We have intellectualism — which is also a factor in the education of the human race — but out of our way of viewing the world, based as it is on the principles of measure, number and weight, another must unfold.

When Schiller had conquered his former dislike of Goethe and had become closely acquainted with him, he wrote a characteristic and significant letter in which he said: Had you been born as a Greek, or even only as an Italian, the world for which you are really seeking would have been about you from early youth. — I am not quoting literally but only according to the sense. Schiller perceived how strongly Goethe's soul longed for Greece. Goethe himself is an example of the change that can be wrought in a mind by entering into the spirit of Greece with understanding. Goethe's attitude to the thought of Greece was quite different from his attitude to the period since the fifteenth century, and this is the point in which we are more interested to-day. In our age, men live in the intellect and, their knowledge of the world is derived, for the most part, from the intellect; the phenomena of the world are measured, numbered and weighed. But this age of ours was preceded by another, when the intellect was far less such that the word was alive within him; he heard the word inwardly as ‘soundless’ tone. Just as an idea or a concept arises within our minds to-day, so, in those times, the word lived as inward sound. And because the content of the soul was itself living, men were able to understand the living world outside.

We can, however, go still further back than this. Spiritual Science must come to our aid here, for ordinary history can tell us nothing. Any history written with psychological insight will bring home to our minds the radical difference between the mental attitude of the Greeks and our own, the nature of the human soul before, say, the eighth century B.C. outer history can tell us nothing. Such documents as exist are very scanty and are not really understood. Among these documents we have Iliad and the Odyssey but they, as a rule, are not considered from this point of view. In still earlier times the life of soul was of a nature of which certain men, here and there, have had some inkling. Herder was one who expressed his views on the subject very forcibly but he did not ever work them out scientifically. In short, the period when men lived in the word was preceded by another, when they lived in a world of pictures. In what sense can speech, for example, and the inner activity of soul revealed in speech, be said to live in a world of pictures? Man lives in pictures when the main factor is not so much the content of the sound, or the nature of the sound, but the rhythm, the shaping of the sound — in short the poetic element which we to-day regard as something quite independent of speech itself. The poet of modern times has to give language artistic form before true poetry can come into being. But there was an age in the remote past when it was perfectly natural to make speech poetic, when speech and the evolving of theory were not so widely separated as they were later on, and when a short syllable following a long, two short syllables following a long, or series of short syllables repeated one after the other, really meant something. World-mysteries were revealed in this poetic form of speech, mysteries which cannot be revealed in the same fulness when the content of the sound is the most important factor.

Even to-day there are still a few who feel that speech has proceeded from this origin and it is worthy of note that in spite of all the confusing elements born of modern scholarship such men have divined the existence of something which I am trying to explain to you in the light of Spiritual Science. Benedetto Croce was one who spoke in a most charming way of this poetic, artistic element of speech in pre-historic or practically pre-historic times, before speech assumed the character of prose.

Three epochs, therefore, stand out before us. — The epoch beginning with Galileo, in the fifteenth century is an age of inner intellectual activity and the world outside is viewed in terms of measure, number and weight. The second and earlier epoch is that for which Goethe longed and to which his whole inner life was directed, after his Italian journey. This was the age when word and concept were still one, when instead of intellectuality man unfolded an inwardly quickened life of soul, and in the outer world observed, all that lives in constant metamorphosis and change. And we also look further back to a third epoch when the soul of man lived in an element by which the sounds of speech themselves were formed and moulded. But a faculty of soul functioning with quickened instinct in a realm lying behind the sounds of speech perceives something else in the outer world. As I have already said, history can tell us little of these things and the historian can only surmise. But anthroposophical Spiritual Science can understand thoroughly what is meant, namely, the Imaginative element of speech, the instinctively Imaginative element which precedes the word. And when he possesses this faculty of instinctive Imagination man can perceive in outer Nature something higher than he can perceive through the medium of word or idea.

We know that even to-day, when it has become thoroughly decadent, oriental civilisation points to former conditions of life in its heyday. We realise this when, for example, we study the Vedas or the Vedanta philosophy. Moreover we know that this age, too, was preceded by others still more ancient. The soul of the oriental is still pervaded by something like an ethereal element, an element that is quite foreign to the Western mind and which, as soon as we attempt to express it in a word, is no longer quite the same. Something has remained which our word ‘compassion’ (Mitleid) can only very poorly express, however deeply Schopenhauer may have felt about it. This compassion, this love for and in all beings — in the form in which it still exists in the East — points to a past age when it was an experience of infinitely greater intensity, when it signified a pouring of the soul's life into the life of feeling of other sentient beings. There is every justification for saying that the oriental word for ‘compassion’ signifies a fundamental element in the life of soul as it was in the remote past, an element which expresses itself in an inward sharing in the experiences of another, having a life of its own, manifesting not only in a process of metamorphosis as in the plant, not only in a process of coming-into-being and passing away, but as an actual experience in the soul.

This inward sharing in the experiences of another is only possible when man rises beyond the idea, beyond the sound as such, beyond the meaning of the word, to the world where speech itself is shaped and moulded by Imagination. Man can have a living experience of the plant-world around him when the word is as full of life as it was among the Greeks. He shares in the life of feeling of other beings when he experiences not only the world of the living but the sentient life of other beings and when he is inwardly sensitive not only to speech but to the artistic element at work in the shaping of speech.

That is why it is so wonderful to find reference in certain mythological poems to this primeval phenomenon in the life of the soul. It is related in connection with Siegfried, for example, that there was a moment when he understood the voice of the birds — who do not utter words but only bring forth a consequence of sound. That which in the song of birds ripples along the surface like the bubbling of a spring of inner life, is also present in everything that has life. But it is precisely this element which imprisons the living in an interior chamber of the soul and in which we cannot share when we are merely listening to a word that is uttered. For when we listen to words, we are hearing merely what the head of another being is experiencing. But when we inwardly grasp what it is that flows on from syllable to syllable, from word to word, from sentence to sentence in the imaginative shaping of speech, we grasp that which actually lives in the heart and mind of another. As we listen to the words uttered by another human being, we can form an opinion about his capabilities and faculties; but if our ears are sensitive to the sound of his words, to the rhythm of his words, to the moulding of his words, then we are hearing an expression of his whole being. And in the same way, when we rise to a sphere where we understand the process wherein sound itself is moulded and shaped — although it is a process empty alike of concept and of word, unheard and simply experienced inwardly — we experience that from which feeling itself arises. When we thus begin to realise the nature of an entirely different life of soul in an age when audible speech was accompanied by living experience of rhythm, measure and melody, we are led to an epoch more ancient than that of Greece. It was an epoch when the mind of man was not only capable of grasping the process of metamorphosis in the world of the living, but of experiencing the sentient life connected with the animal creation and of beholding in direct vision the world of sentient being.

If we study the civilised people in the age which stretches back from the eighth century B.C. to about the beginning of the third millennium B.C., we find a life of soul filled with Imaginative instinct, prone by its very nature to experience the sentient life of all beings.

Modern scholarship, with its limited outlook, tells us that the ancients were wont to personify the phenomena of Nature. In other words, a highly intellectual element is attributed to the human soul in olden times and, the comparison often drawn is that a child who knocks himself against the corner of a table will strike the table because he personifies it, thinks of it as being alive.

Those who imagine that a child personifies the table as a living being which he then strikes, have never really gazed into the soul of a child. For a child sees the table just exactly as we see it, but he does not yet distinguish between the table and a living thing. Nor did the ancients personify the phenomena of Nature in this sense; they lived in the element by which speech is shaped and moulded and were thus able to experience the sentient life of other beings.

This, then, has been the way in which the souls of men have developed during the period beginning about the third millennium B.C. and lasting until our own time: from super-speech, through speech, to the age of intellectuality; from the period of experience of the life of feeling in other beings, through the age of sharing in the processes of growth and ‘becoming’ in the outer world, to the time when attention is concentrated on the principles of measure, number and weight. Only when we picture this process quite clearly shall we be able to realise that in order to penetrate into the nature of things in an age when we try to probe everything with the conscious mind, we must deliberately adjust ourselves to an entirely new way of viewing the world around us. Those who imagine that the constitution of the human soul has never fundamentally changed but has remained constant through the ages, regard it as something absolute, and think that man would lose himself irretrievably if the essential nature of his soul were in any way to undergo change. But those who perceive that changes in the constitution of the soul belong to the natural course of evolution will the more easily realise that it is necessary for us to transform our attitude of soul if we are to penetrate into the nature of things, into the being of man and into the nature of the relation of man to the world in a way fitted to the age in which we are living.

Tips for Improving Freestyle Kicks in Competitive Swimming

The freestyle stroke, or front crawl, is the fastest and most efficient of the strokes used in competitive swimming. However, in order for a swimmer to get the most out of it, their kick must be strong. While you may see more of a swimmer’s arms during freestyle swimming, it is a stroke that relies on both the arms and the legs doing their part. The speed that a swimmer will reach depends on the power of the kick propelling them through the water. Below are some tips for getting the most out of your freestyle swimming stroke.

Timing Your Kicks

There are two phases of the freestyle stroke. First, as your right hand is entering the water for the first part of the stroke, your left leg should be entering its kick. Conversely, as your left hand enters the water, your right leg should enter its kick. When done properly, the shoulders, hips, and torso should function as one unit, maintaining the proper degree of body rotation.

Proper Body Positioning

A strong freestyle kick relies on proper body positioning. In order to sustain momentum, your hips and legs should be in the correct position throughout your swimming kick sets.

Hips and Knees

One of the biggest mistakes a swimmer can make in the freestyle stroke is to bend their knees too much. This causes them to sink lower into the water than they should. Then, instead of putting all of their energy into their arm stroke, they are using it to keep themselves on the surface of the water. Instead, try to drive your freestyle kicks from your hips with your knees relaxed.

Plantar Flexion, or, Pointing Your Toes

The technical term for pointing your toes during the freestyle kick is “plantar flexion”. It is an important aspect of performing a proper kick. Unflexed toes increase the amount of water that your body has to push out of the way as you swim. This slows you down. Pointing your toes will reduce your drag in the water, giving you a better time.

Ankle Flexibility

Pointing your toes may seem like a laughably easy exercise. However, a competitive freestyle swimmer must point their toes sharply and for an extended period of time. Athletes like runners or cyclists are trained to stabilize their ankles as much as possible, but a swimmer must be both flexible and stable. Practicing yoga can help a swimmer learn to flex their ankles without undermining their stability.

With proper body positioning and practice, a swimmer can learn to deliver strong freestyle kicks and improve their stroke.

**** Recommended, for horror enthusiasts only though.

This was a straightforward but spectacularly EWWW horror short story. A couple of exterminators have to clean up a house that’s rumored to be haunted and discover more than they bargained for: it’s either going to be a retread or it’s going to be a classic, depending on the way it’s pulled off, right?  It’s a classic.  YUCK.  I hate bugs.

Yeah, someone should buy this and make a low-budget horror movie out of it, which I will not watch.

Aligators red eyes

These warning red lights in the night, are alligators eyes,and are not Photoshopped. Photographer Larry Lynch with the above image, was named photographer of the year in the UK Natural History Museum’s wildlife photograph competition.   Image credit: Larry Lynch

Larry Lynch explains how he caught the image:

“One evening, while walking along the riverbed of the Myakka River State Park in Sarasota, Florida, USA, one evening, Larry came across a group of alligators. It was the dry season, and they had been gorging on fish trapped in the pools left behind as the water receded from the river. One big alligator had clearly eaten its fill.

‘It wasn’t going anywhere in a hurry,’ says Larry. ‘So I set my tripod and camera up about seven metres in front of him and focused on his eyes.’

Just after sunset, Larry set his flash on the lowest setting to give just a tiny bit of light, enough to catch the eyeshine in the alligator’s eyes. Like cats, an alligator has a tapetum lucidum at the back of each eye – a structure that reflects light back into the photoreceptor cells to make the most of low light. The colour of eyeshine differs from species to species. In alligators, it glows red – one good way to locate alligators on a dark night. The greater the distance between its eyes, the longer the reptile, in this case, very long.”

The Truth About Lori Harvey’s Modeling Career

The Truth About Lori Harvey’s Modeling Career

Despite being the stepdaughter of game show legend Steve Harvey, up until 2021 Lori Harvey was carving out a reliably low-key life for herself. That all changed when she nabbed People’s Sexiest Man Alive himself, Michael B. Jordan (per ABC). As Bustle noted in a surprisingly frank profile, up until May of that year, nobody even knew what Harvey sounded like. For a celebrity kid, she’s been surprisingly shy about fame. As cultural critic Bolu Babolola memorably quipped on Twitter, “I actually love that Lori Harvey never talks to us. Why does she need to? She is rich and hot and dates the rich and hot. Why does she need to open up to the wretched PUBLIC for??”

As the lady herself put it, “I’m the type of person where I have to kind of feel you out and get to know you, and then I get comfortable and then my crazy kind of shows. But if it’s an environment I’m not familiar with, if it’s too many people, then I’m more quiet, reserved, to myself, and very observant.” Even the extended Harvey family acknowledged that she’s a tough nut to crack. It’s surprising, then, in a certain respect, to learn the celeb kid is an in-demand model — although, even a cursory look at her Instagram page solidifies just how she got into this particular career. Far from just being Jordan’s other half, Harvey is making waves in her own right too.

This stunning lady is proudly booked and busy

According to The Sun, Lori Harvey, who’s signed with high-profile firms LA Models, in America, and Select Models, in Europe, was discovered at the age of just three. During an appearance on the “Behind Closed Doors” podcast, Harvey revealed the gig was an ad for a local Memphis store, which was printed up in the newspaper and proudly displayed on her grandparents’ wall (via Oprah Daily). As Elle confirms, in the intervening years, the stunning lady walked for the likes of Dolce & Gabbana, and featured in campaigns for Chanel and Calvin Klein, alongside many others. Her Instagram following, meanwhile, is over three million strong at the time of writing and showcases Harvey’s impressive reach as an influencer, too.

Speaking to BET about the lack of representation in fashion, Harvey revealed, “I think I was one of five girls backstage at the show that was African-American.” The social media influencer argued, “it also shows girls that look like me that you can do this too, you can break into this industry and play a huge role in it. It’s very achievable.” Likewise, Harvey wants to break other boundaries too, noting, “Being that I’m not a traditional model, it’s kind of cool because I feel like it’s opening up a door for a new generation of models that look more like me versus being 5-foot-10 and super skinny [with a] super flat stomach and super skinny legs like everything looks so perfect.”

The Marist College campus remains closed as the school is reporting more COVID-19 cases.

Enter your number to get our free mobile app

Last week, Marist College officials learned of multiple positive COVID-19 cases among students as a result of an off-campus gathering held without proper precautions, including wearing masks and social distancing, officials say.

Days later, officials announced contact tracers tested close contacts of the students with COVID-19 and more positive cases were found among students. The college later announced over 1,000 students were tested and at least 29 positive cases were identified.

Most of the confirmed COVID-19 cases can be attributed to an off-campus event, officials say.

As of result, officials extended the temporary campus pause until at least Saturday.

Putting Marist College on pause includes the following temporary measures:

  • Classes will continue to be held remotely through Friday, October 16.
  • All students must remain on campus and avoid traveling unless directed by Marist health professionals or staff; even trips home must be avoided.
  • All official on- and off-campus in-person activities have been suspended.
  • All on- and off-campus gatherings, including parties, are prohibited.
  • All athletic team training sessions are suspended.
  • The James J. McCann Recreation Center is closed.
  • Campus is closed to all visitors, including parents and families.

"The actions of everyone in the Marist community have a direct impact on the College’s next steps; we urge you to be vigilant and recognize that COVID-19 still presents a serious threat to our campus and to the greater community. We must continue to follow our three health protocols: wearing a mask, maintaining social distance, and practicing good hygiene such as hand washing. In the majority of identified positive cases, individuals were not acting in compliance with our guidelines. Individual behavior will be a major determining factor in whether the pause is lifted on Saturday and in our ability to finish this semester in person," Marist College Executive Vice President Geoff Brackett, Vice President of Academic Affairs Thom Wermuth and Vice President of Student Affairs Deb DiCaprio said in a joint statement on the college's COVID-19 dashboard.

My Saturday was fantastic, it was the perfect start to the month of May. I was drinking margaritas and eating tasty Mexican food on the legendary Jenkinson's Boardwalk. The weather was great, the boardwalk was beautiful, and I felt a pep in everyone's step. You can tell the Jersey Shore is ready to have a tremendous summer. If this means anything, I literally watched my Mom drink a large strawberry margarita in ten minutes. It was truly impressive for someone who rarely drinks and weighs 95 lbs. Less than one month till Memorial Day Weekend and my mom is drinking afternoon margaritas... this is gearing up to be the greatest summer of all time!

Listen to Jimmy G nights on 94.3 The Point and download our free 94.3 The Point app.

With that, I am thrilled to be writing about Cantina, a brand new Mexican restaurant on Jenkinson's Boardwalk. As we know, the boardwalk has pizza, ice cream, and many other classic boardwalk foods, but now we can celebrate a fun beach day with tacos and margaritas! It's a unique but awesome idea. After having a tremendous Cantina meal, I think this place will be a beachgoer favorite. The margaritas were refreshing and the food was perfect. Just think about it, on a hot summer day, you want to find some shade, what's better than drinking a frozen margarita?!

Before checking out the inside, the Cantina is located downstairs of the Boardwalk Bar and Grill. Also, if you are looking at Joey Tomato's it's a few steps to the left. The Cantina is definitely a place worth checking out, it could be perfect for your Cinco de Mayo celebration! For more details, go to the Jenkinson's Boardwalk website. In addition, stay tuned for details about a brand new innovative ice cream shop that is also on Jenkinson's Boardwalk! You can check out the Cantina below:

The Wednesday Ritual

Ari Bussel

Yitzchak (Isaac) and Talia Emes, 47 and 45 year old, recently celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary with their six children, the oldest 24, the youngest 5. The family was looking forward to a golden anniversary in 25 years.

They studied together in the former Soviet Union, emigrated to Israel and built a home. Many of their friends are Russian-speaking. Despite economic difficulties, they did not complain but focused instead on building and giving. Every Wednesday, Yitzchak came to the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, his area of expertise, a love and focus of his activities. He was part of a group of friends for whom saving the Temple Mount and restoring Jewish worship there was a way of life. This week he changed his weekly practice and traveled to Jerusalem on Tuesday instead.

On Wednesday afternoon he returned to Mount Olives overlooking the Temple Mount, the Eastern Wall of the Temple Mount and the sealed Gate of Mercy in its center. The Gate was sealed half a millennium ago by an Ottoman ruler who wanted to prevent the coming of the Messiah, for it is believed the Messiah will arrive via this gate.

Yitzchak and his wife Talia were blessed with many friends and a close-knit community. More than a thousand people gathered around them to ensure they would not be alone as they traveled their last journey together.

Still together in death as they were in life, Yitzchak and Talia, may the Almighty avenge their blood, were brought to their final resting place on Mount Olives in Jerusalem. In Israel one is buried covered in shrouds, unlike the USA where one is buried in a coffin. Their 19-year-old daughter spoke, her voice breaking down into a cry several times, promising that her brothers and sisters would not be without a mother and a father.

I am certain, her parents were watching from the Third Temple in the heavens and were proud. Not because of the reporters and cameras, looking for a sound bite and a photo-op, but the true essence of life emanating from far below.

Talia and Yitzchak drove with two other people: 24 year old Avishai Shindler, married just a year ago, and 37-year-old Kochava Even Haim (Stone of Life) who had just concluded a meeting with the parents of her kindergarten class as it was the night before the start of the school year.

The four, Yitzchak and Talia, Avishai and Kochava were driving home when a car accelerated and passed them, shooting at chest and head level. More than 38 bullets were fired at them. The four were pronounced dead at the scene.

Kochava’s husband is a volunteer at ZAKA, the search and rescue organization that rapidly responds to any terror attack, accident or disaster and is known for collecting body parts in these events to bring them to proper burial. He responded to the call and found his wife among those executed.

Hamas terror organization, the democratically elected, true leader of the Palestinian people in their struggle to rid the Middle East of Jewish presence, immediately took credit and celebrated the terror attack. They stated this murder would be followed by a stream of similar attacks throughout Judea and Samaria and would clearly demonstrate their influence and control have extended beyond Gaza, despite “efforts” by the Palestinian Authority.

The Israeli defense and intelligence establishment was caught off guard. There was no information that may have indicated a terror attack was being planned or about the one that would follow less than 24 hours later in much the same manner.

Four people were just executed. The usual condemnations followed, from France, the USA and even the Palestinian Authority (PA). You see, these executions are disturbing not because of the actual senseless act of taking lives, but because it is a simple matter of inconvenience for the PA.

It is also somewhat damaging to the PA’s pretense as a “moderate” element. It shows Hamas as the true Messenger and representative of the Palestinian people. Much like Hizbollah is the savior and protector of the Lebanese people, and only it can properly execute whatever is necessary to help the people of Lebanon against the Jewish aggressor, so here, Hamas wields the power, the clarity of vision and the determination to win at all costs.

Such condemnation stops short of being anything but lip service. It is void of any true meaning since it is uttered to only Western ears and aims to refocus the attention toward the true goal: increasing the international pressure on Israel to make further concessions, specifically the right of return for millions of Palestinians and the recognition of Jerusalem as Muslim Palestine’s eternal capital.

While Israel is losing ground and seems to be shrinking in size with each new concession, the Palestinians are gaining legitimacy at an ever-increasing pace. Soon they will declare, to the cheers of the world, the formation of Palestine among the member-nations.

Do Israelis care? Were droves of Israelis at the four funerals yesterday? Are Israelis listening to the Hamas message whose delivery system involved four dead young people? What is the focus of discourse in Israel 36 hours after this horrific event?

As the second day of the new school year starts and parents walk their children to school this morning, the only indication is the headlines in the major print papers. These will be read and then the paper put aside for recycling. So will the news for it is neither new nor unusual. At the funerals, other than reporters and politicians, heads were covered by knitted yarmulkes, while mainstream Israelis were noticeably absent. This absence spoke volumes.

Why the lack of interest? Is the blood of the slain not calling to us all from Mother Earth where it was spilled or from the heavens to where the four executed victims ascended? Is no one listening, seeing or realizing what is happening?

The world is immersed in a “new” peace process that has been going on for almost twenty years. Over this period, it has become clear that the Palestinian leaders do not want peace. Neither in word nor in action do they show any interest in peace or even the slightest effort to move in this direction. They are engaged in a war to destroy the Jewish State and will stop at nothing short of achieving this goal. In the meantime, they continue to gain progress.

The Palestinians reap the world’s sympathy as Israelis pay in blood. While the Palestinians murder, Jews argue among themselves. Surprisingly, most Israelis no longer care and even justify what has occurred, since these are “Occupied Territories.”

Such blood of “Settlers” is permissible, in fact—punishment is in order and justified. Even Israel’s more outspoken defenders, like Prof. Alan Dershowitz of Harvard, do not consider this a terror attack in their compilation of statistics of acts against the Jewish State since it occurred in “Occupied Territories.”

I stood amidst a thousand mourners, glancing every once in a while toward the sealed Gate of Mercy on the mountain. This House of God that has turned into a center of Terror and Hatred, the Al Aqsa Mosque on Temple Mount. A celebration of life turned into a culture of death, with the world a willing participant.

The Turkish Sultan 500 years ago did not have to worry or take steps to prevent or delay the arrival of the Messiah. The Messiah will certainly not arrive any time soon while Jews and Israelis themselves become willing participants in the battle against the Jewish State in the Land of Israel.

You ask what you can do? Pray for the lives and safety of the 320,000 Jewish men, women and children in Judea and Samaria, the heartland of Israel. A place where God and Country intermingle, where values like family, mutual responsibility, giving, taking care of others’ needs as a community, respecting elders, education and seeking to live life as a good and decent human beings meld together.

May the four slain innocent souls so abruptly departed from among us now guide our steps as we battle to save the Jewish State along with the Western World and the rest of humanity as well.

The series “Postcards from America—Postcards from Israel” by Ari Bussel and Norma Zager is a compilation of articles capturing the essence of life in America and Israel during the first two decades of the 21st Century.

The writers invite readers to view and experience an Israel and her politics through their eyes, Israel visitors rarely discover.

This point—and often—counter-point presentation is sprinkled with humor and sadness and attempts to tackle serious and relevant issues of the day. The series began in 2008, appears both in print in the USA and on numerous websites and is followed regularly by readership from around the world.

THESE BROKEN STARS – Amie Kaufman & Meagan Spooner (Honest Review)

Book one in the Starbound Trilogy.

StarboundGenre: Young Adult – Science Fiction
Target Audience: 13+ (contains violent scenes)
Goodreads Rating: 2/5 stars

Goodreads description:
Luxury spaceliner Icarus suddenly plummets from hyperspace into the nearest planet. Lilac LaRoux and Tarver Merendsen survive – alone. Lilac is the daughter of the richest man in the universe. Tarver comes from nothing, a cynical war hero. Both journey across the eerie deserted terrain for help. Everything changes when they uncover the truth.
The Starbound Trilogy: Three worlds. Three love stories. One enemy.

So this wasn’t my favourite thing ever. I wish it was!! But it definitely, was not. This was one of my To Be Readathon reads (more details on the To Be Readathon here) and it wasn’t that awful that I had to put it down, but it was bad enough that I found myself skimming and just getting bored. Maybe my expectations were too high?

I came from reading Unearthed, to this one and I absolutely loved that book! (Review here.) It was such a fun adventure, and maybe I was hoping that this one would be too, but it wasn’t. I mean, it was an adventure, sure but it was pretty repetitive. I felt that this book could have been half the size it was, like the authors wanted to stretch the length of the book in hopes to make it more appealing and that just makes me sad.

The characterisation was alright, not the best from these wonderful authors, but it was decent. They stuck to who they were and even evolved and shifted throughout the book, which is always good! I love character development. However, this story did feel a little cliche. A little far-fetched, if you will. It felt like some elements had been done before, including the attitudes of the characters. It felt very, overused. Other elements in this story seemed strange, or just a little out of place and somewhat creepy? I can’t really state much without revealing some of the plot, but I will say, that I know the strangeness is in regards to the shaping of the plot and I know it’s supposed to be a little strange, but it felt too strange for me. Maybe a little over the top, but that’s just me.

I honestly don’t have much to say about this book, because I don’t feel it gave me enough to work with. The story remained similar, if not the same, most of the book. Some things did occur, but not enough to peak my interest. I can’t say that it felt predictable, but when things happened I felt myself becoming annoyed. Like, really? Out of all the things you could’ve picked, that’s what you chose?

*sigh* Serves me right for having high expectations. High expectations are no good to anyone. Anyways, it’s like I said, it was by no mean a terrible book. There just happens to be more negatives to mention than positives, and unfortunately the negatives add up. I hope, that as the second book is about different characters, that it will be better, but here’s to hoping!

The break down of my rating:
Plot: 4/10
Characterisation: 6/10
Style & Tone: 6/10
Enjoyment Factor: 3/10

Post 283: Whonville

Just a short drive from Sparkyville is a little town called Whonville. All the houses have two floors. The people on the bottom floors are all knitters. The people on the top floors are grouchie.

It’s kind of like Hogwarts. You get sorted into upstairs or downstairs. Not many people move to Whonville.

Free 3 bags of misc yarn – first come first have

Am spring cleaning in fall.

Free to whonever comes by first to retrieve outside my downstairs basement door (behind house) as shown in photos.

Please advise if you pickup this so I can delete the ad while running errands today.

First come first get.

All the best

Ps please dont bother the upstairs people they are grouchy.

Whons don’t know that it’s bad luck to do spring cleaning in the fall. Now the upstairs people are bound to be bothered and grouchy. Thanks, NinjaChow, for this amazing glimpse into Whon life.

  1. The yarn is bait. I’m not surprised the upstairs people are grouchy with all the commotion:

    Just got home from Illinois lock the front door oh boy!
    Got to sit down take a rest on the porch.
    Imagination sets in pretty soon I’m singin’

    Doo doo doo lookin’ out my back door.

    There’s a giant doing cartwheels, a statue wearin’ high heels.
    Look at all the happy creatures dancing on the lawn.
    A dinosaur Victrola list’ning to Buck Owens.

    Doo doo doo lookin’ out my back door.

    Tambourines and elephants are playing in the band.
    Won’t you take a ride on the flyin’ spoon?
    Doo doo doo.
    Wond’rous apparition provided by magician.

    Doo doo doo lookin’ out my back door.

Nikki Bella opens up about her struggle with postpartum depression

Rodin Eckenroth/Getty Images

(LOS ANGELES) — Nikki Bella welcomed a little boy alongside fiancé Artem Chigvintsev of Dancing with the Stars fame two months ago.  While Matteo brought so much joy to the couple, the Total Bellas star revealed that she struggled with postpartum depression.

On the new The Bellas Podcast episode that aired Wednesday, she and sister Brie Bella discussed the “baby blues” that moms experience after birth.

When Nikki’s fiancé started filming Dancing with the Stars, the stress of packing up her house in Phoenix while filming Total Bellas led to a “massive breakdown.”

“I’ve always prided myself that I can fight a lot of things mentally. I’m very strong in that way,” the former pro wrestler confessed to her twin.  “Postpartum has knocked me on my [butt.] This is something that is way different.”

Bella, 36, admitted her breakdown was made worse by her refusing to ask for help, noting that her sister was the “first person who asked me in weeks ‘How are you doing?'”

“I was about to say, ‘Fine,’ and my lips started shaking and I burst into alligator tears. Like, I broke down,” Bella continued. “I wasn’t doing okay.”

She then explained that, after seeing her doctor, she was told new moms can become depressed seven weeks after childbirth, adding that her postpartum depression was a “dark, deep hole” that made her “feel invisible.”

Nikki confided to her fiancé shortly after, to which Chigvintsev told her how devastated he was that she “was feeling all these things” and didn’t tell him.

Bella says their heart to heart led to them improving their communication and making sure they were on the same page when caring for their son.

The Total Bellas stars then advocated for mothers grappling with postpartum depression to reach out and ask for help.

High-End Escorts Expect Big Business During the RNC

RNC blkwhite.jpg

Fifty-thousand people are expected to pour into Tampa for the Republican National Convention.

By day, they’re expected to attend meetings, patronize shops, and fill restaurants.

By night, high-end escorts hope some convention goers will be spending their time with them.

"Mary" is a professional escort in Tampa, but she specializes in selling more than just sex. She sells "experiences."

And she expects that the RNC will bring her big business.

“They're out there. They're looking for me,” she says of potential clients. “If I can just be there and be ready, then that's what it is.”

She's just redone her website in preparation for the RNC. It now talks about “creating an experience” and “escaping the pressures and limitations of reality.”

She says she carefully chose the language to appeal to a political audience.

“Think about what type of people are coming. Who are republicans? Where do they go? How do they speak?” Mary asks.

“I kind of immerse myself in stuff like that," she said, "because you start using language like that and those type of people understand.”

The type that can afford to drop $500 an hour -- some sessions last several hours or even days.

“Creating experiences with someone, talking about how the real world is so draining sometimes and you just need a time and space to relax,” Mary says.

“When you say that to a workaholic, type of person, business, high power type person, they understand that language."

The Girlfriend Experience

An escort who calls herself "Susan" speaks that same language. She offers what she calls "the girlfriend experience."

“A girlfriend experience is basically allowing somebody to be exactly who they are when they are with you,” she says.

“You’re there to comfort them and allow them to release the stress from their day.”

Unlike Mary, Susan isn't doing anything special to advertise for the RNC. She prefers to stick to clients she already knows.

She gets most of her work from a secret invitation-only web site and her clients are always pre-screened. She's willing to miss out on some quick cash to avoid legal trouble.

"I really don't want the exposure," she said. "I'd like to stay in my comfort zone, because when you do get greedy is when you increase your chances of being arrested."

Besides, the competition is supposed to be fierce.

“I know that ladies will be flying in from across the country to visit Tampa, it’s going to be insane," Susan says.

It’s not terribly unusual, Mary says. She’s done it.

"Oh yeah, we travel all the time. We follow different conventions around, sporting events, whatever it is. Political events, people will fly in and travel," Mary says.

The Prostitution Study

But really, how big is the demand for prostitutes surrounding political conventions?

Two researchers made it their mission to find out. In 2011, they released a study called Men- in- Transit and Prostitution: Using Political Conventions as a Natural Experiment.

Scott Cunningham is an economics assistant professor at Baylor University. He and his co-author Todd Kendall studied prostitution surrounding political conventions.

Cunningham and Kendall monitored ads on the now-defunct Craigslist erotic services page during the 2008 Democratic and Republican national conventions.

“We’re looking at Denver on the day of the conventions as opposed to Denver when there is no conventions, we sort of are able to isolate the unique effect the conventions have on prostitution advertisements,” he said.

Depending on the city, there was a 29-77 percent increase in prostitution advertisements during the convention.

But does increased advertising during the convention mean there was more prostitution? Cunningham says that's tough to measure.

“What we don’t find, or what we don’t look at, we don’t have data on prostitution transactions,” Cunningham says.

Mary says she doesn't need any data. She's confident she will see an increase in "transactions" during the RNC.

So confident, she's taking some special steps to prepare.

“I'm redoing my breasts and I timed my surgery around it because I wanted to make sure I wasn't going to be recovering during that time”

And instead, focus on the mental aspect of the job.

“I think in order to be prepared, to embrace people like they are and hold space for them. I have to really go within myself and I have to take care of myself,” she says.

“So I can be there and hold that space for other people.”

She won’t know how much space until the Republican National Convention actually arrives in Tampa.

  • MO’ BLUE MONEY: Off-price Internet retailer Bluefly Inc. raised $5 million in gross proceeds from a group of funds led by Redwood Grove Capital Management LLC, a California-based private equity firm. Ken Seiff, Bluefly chief executive, said the money would be used to grow the business and strengthen the brand through a variety of means including acquiring more customers, improving the merchandise, and filling two new executive positions: a vice president of technology and a chief marketing officer. Under terms of the deal, Bluefly issued 1.5 shares of common stock at $3.24 per share, which was 90 percent of the trailing five-day average of Bluefly’s volume-weighted stock price as of Dec. 29, 2003, the date that a preliminary agreement was reached. Bluefly also issued the new investors warrants to purchase 385,803 shares of common stock at any time during the next five years at an exercise price equal to $3.96 a share. Assuming all outstanding equity securities, stock options and warrants of the company were converted, the common stock and warrants issued in this deal would equal approximately 2.8 percent of Bluefly’s?equity. To date, the Soros Private Equity Partner has invested about $55 million in the online retailer.

LAHORE, Pakistan — As the focus shifted to the violent demonstrations by Islamic student groups taking place in Karachi Sunday and Monday, condemning the video allegedly defaming the prophet Muhammad, the deadly factory fire in a jeans plant in Karachi last week got relegated to the background.

Pakistan’s Interior Minister Rehman Malik said Sunday that terrorism may be responsible for the fire.

The factory was not even registered under the 1934 Factories Act, according to the Sindh Ministry of Labour report, so how could it even have been inspected, government officials questioned. Earlier, Sindh Minister of Labour Ameer Nawab, who resigned last week, said Sindh chief minister Qaim Ali Shah himself had stopped him from inspecting factories violating labor rules.

RELATED STORY: Owners of Plant in Deadly Pakistan Blaze Turn Up >>

Okay Men stonewashed jeans, a German brand, were being made in the factory the day of the fire, as the jeans were found strewn about in the carnage.

In addition to fire safety regulations that were broken in the factory, it has been reported by The New York Times that many of those who died were under 18, worked 12-hour shifts and earned $58 a month, only a third of the minimum wage here. Upon visits from foreign buyers or their auditors, the workers were asked to lie to them about working conditions, according to reports.

Ali Enterprises was heavily underinsured by two small insurance companies, Reliance Insurance and Premier Insurance, and, at most, can receive only $85,000 for destruction of the plant and machinery. The insurance coverage did not include employees, sabotage or terrorism. Since the company took out bank loans, the banks will receive the insurance money first if it is released. Deceased employees’ families will only receive $2,100 from the company, under Pakistan labor laws.

Big Update On WWE Crown Jewel PPV’s Status After Even More Pressure To Cancel It

Shawn Michaels WWE Crown Jewel PPV Saudi Arabia

• Old School Wrestling Veteran Celebrates His Birthday

Old School Wrestling Veteran Jeff Gaylord celebrates his 60th birthday today.

Jeff wrestled for various different territories during the 80s & 90s, such as Mid-South Wrestling, World Class Championship Wrestling, USWA (Memphis), as well as the American Wrestling Federation.

Even those of you, who never heard of him, will probably remember him from his only World Wrestling Federation appearance, which was him wrestling at the Survivor Series 1993 PPV as The Black Knight, one of Shawn Michaels’ 3 masked knights, who faced the Hart Family team.

• Big Update On WWE Crown Jewel PPV’s Status After Even More Pressure To Cancel It

WWE is having a tough time right now as there’s a lot of controversy going on regarding Saudi Arabia and journalist Jamal Khashoggi gone missing (allegedly killed by the Saudi government).

WWE has a 10 year deal with Saudi Arabia and this deal involves big time money. The money offer is so big that WWE made more money from their Greatest Royal Rumble event in Saudi Arabia earlier this year than what they make from WrestleMania.

Independent Journal Review’s Willaim Steakin discussed WWE & Saudi Arabia’s partnership with members of Congress.

Connecticut Senator Chris Murphy said the following:

“I’d hope that WWE would be rethinking their relationship with the kingdom especially with respect to events coming up in the next weeks.”

New Jersey Senator Bob Menendez said the following:

“Private enterprise is private enterprise, different than a government entity. But because Linda McMahon is part of the president’s cabinet, it falls into the grey area where the administration really should give it some thought and maybe even prevail upon them not doing it.”

To add even more pressure, Senator Richard Blumenthal (Democrat from Connecticut) joined WCBS News Radio 820 and talked about how WWE should reconsider their business relationship with Saudi Arabia:

“All major private interests should review and relook their relationship with the Saudi Kingdom in light of its continuing pattern of abuse of civil rights and civil liberties, contempt for the rule of law, and bombing in Yemen using the United States military equipment and possible intelligence.

I would hope that WWE will recognize on its own a conscience and conviction if there is proof that Saudi officials approved and ordered this kind of killing, and I would lean first on the United States government to do its duty so that it can lead private interests like WWE, and the first place to look is to the United States of America.”

At first, WWE pulled the WWE Crown Jewel PPV from its events calendar on their website (although the PPV was still under shows section), but WWE has added it back again.

Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer is now reporting that the WWE Crown Jewel PPV is still on:

June 26 - September 19

Alexander Calder and Pablo Picasso are two of the foremost figures in the history of twentieth-century art. This touring exhibition, which debuted in 2019 at the Musée national Picasso-Paris and is coming to the High this summer, presents more than one hundred paintings, sculptures, and works on paper spanning Calder’s and Picasso’s careers that reveal the radical innovation and enduring influence of their art.

Conceived by the artists’ grandsons, Bernard Ruiz-Picasso and Alexander S. C. Rower, and organized by the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, the exhibition focuses on the artists’ exploration of the void, or absence of space, which both defined from the figure through to abstraction.

Calder’s wire figures, paintings, drawings, and revolutionary nonobjective mobiles, stabiles, and standing mobiles are integrated throughout the exhibition with profoundly inventive works by Picasso in every media. The juxtapositions are insightful, surprising, and challenging, demonstrating the striking innovations these great artists introduced through their ceaseless reexamination of form, line, and space.
