… thirty seven

[ t h i r t y – s e v e n ]

Before 2019 ended, the idea that my life was about to change could be felt.

Changes were made that I’d known for a while needed to be happen…….. but after major conviction, taking inventory of the past, & processing my feelings and what I’d like for my/my family’s future to looked like helped me to truly see what I’d been missing before:

Nothing is better than Jesus in a very real way.

That sounds super Jesus freakish & you probably rolled your eyes, probably wondering as a Christian why I’m just getting that, but as much as I love/d Jesus, I couldn’t wrap my mind around the fact that he truly is everything that I need. I knew that, but never put everything down for him. This lightbulb… that came through a deeper, closer relationship with God, has completely changed behavior. Not rules, not someone saying “You should…” or “You can’t”, but being so close to God that anything that separated me from him hurt me.

A few things that I recognized…

Approval – his alone matters. periodt.

Acceptance – no matter what, when, or why he will forever search for me & welcome me, desire to be in relationship with me and be open to it even though I sin.

Comfort – He is the God of ALL comfort. Not cinnamon rolls, Chick-fil-a, wine or whiskey, or companionship. Just Jesus and once he is the first and only source of comfort, I won’t over prioritize, over value, or sacrifice who I am or standards to feel “better”.

Support – he gives wisdom in abundance if we ask, he leads us, he protects us, comforts, & is the safest, most intimate space we could ever ask for.

We truly need nothing else, but Him. And the most amazing thing is we often feel (or I quietly felt) that I’d be missing out on something if I truly gave everything up for him, if I truly lived sacrificially. I doubted and didn’t fully trust even though I knew that everything good comes from him, that there is no lack in him, that he withholds no good thing from us …… I was afraid that I’d be missing out on something. Ultimately something celebrated by culture (which likely contradicted The Word), something that would result in loneliness (which I was already feeling), or whatever I felt I needed. If everything I need is truly found in Him…… he is the ultimate source and then from trusting Him will come the very things I need except better. If I’m trying to fill a space based on my thoughts & feelings, I will lose every single time and still end up empty. Those choices will be fueled by fear, thoughts of lack, trauma, selfishness, sin, and cultural “goals” that will have me chasing after something that will never truly satisfy me.

I might be the only one whose lightbulb is just.now. clicking but I am so thankful it is. At nearly 40… feeling too late, too old, too weighted down with  life’s responsibilities… regardless of the feels, God is so so so good and nothing compares to Him.

2020 began with a whole new outlook on my Plexus business, relationship perspectives and goals, motherhood goals, career moves, & just how I wanted each day to look. The perspective I have is that everyday literally is going to create and lead to a week that turns into a month that turns into a year. If I.. when I focus on sacrificing and submitting day to day the life I want (which is the life the Lord has for me) will flow.

And one of the first things I knew I needed to change was the fact that I did nothing for myself in 2019. Nothing to very little for myself. Very little. I hardly hung out with my friends, didn’t go to any movies (which I love to do, until the end of the year), and was completely overwhelmed & growing resentful at what my days looked like. I couldn’t be the mama, friend, person, writer, speaker, provider, ministry partner, business builder I needed to be because I empty. Running on empty. fumes. and clawing to stay on my feet. It was exhausting and another year that way wouldn’t end well.

So, I committed to being more social – not for the sake of just being out, but truly pouring into, rebuilding, and establishing friendships and relationships that I’d neglected over the past few years….. and the last 26 days have been so much stinking fun. While I know exactly why I didn’t do it sooner, I’m wondering, ‘Why didn’t you do this sooner?’

I know the reasons I had were valid & real…… but they weren’t true. Tony Evans says that there’s a difference between truth and fact. I based decisions on facts, but not the truth. And we do it all of the time.

Mom: I can’t go, because the baby is too young.
Yea that’s a FACT, the baby is tiny….. but the truth is – you can go.
If you choose to…. choose to believe that we aren’t our kids end all and be all. Choose to believe that we can truly have a life outside of them and still be good mothers. Choose to believe that things will be fine if we aren’t losing ourselves to hold them and everyone and everything else together.

Y’all. I’m scared, no lie. Because I’m not sure. And, anyone who says walking with God in a way they’d never had before isn’t scary is.. lying. Hello, Moses, and everyone else who’d been pulled by the Lord and responded with a “Who me?” Then, you have those who came to the Lord for healing and you’ll see a few times he asked, “Do you want to be made whole?” umm.. of course, that’s why I’m here. Right? Like let’s not ask questions we already know the answer to. That’s annoying.

But, the truth is:
there are times we want something, but just not bad enough
to sacrifice and change our life for.

Not enough to truly be vulnerable for.
Not enough to stop being lazy for.
Not enough to stand up and be bold for.
Not enough to say “no” to everything else that isn’t that for.
Not enough to just do the things that need to be done for.

So…. again… do you want to be made whole?

So. It’s tough. And, scary.
Already 26 days in.
But, I believe deeply that while I have no idea what they heck is going to happen, I know that every day (a hundred times a day), I lay every fear that crops up, every desire, every choice, every opportunity, every move at the cross. And I trust that God heard me. Like the enslaved Israelites tears, fears, and desires – “…their cries rose up to God. God heard their groaning…” (Genesis 2:23-24) and because I am trusting the Lord and truly delighting myself in Him….. seriously enjoying worshipping, praying, reading the Word, talking throughout the day, I trust the promise of Psalm 21:2 that says the Lord will “give him his heart’s desire; you have withheld nothing he requested.”

And, my response before, during, and after is praise.
Not because I have what I asked for or even that it’s promised to me and I have the faith that I will receive it, but because I love God. And, God loves me and is worthy of my praise….. every other reason is extra.
cherries and whip cream and sprinkles on top.

Just like the children of Isreal were God’s special possession, I am, too.
Just as they needed him for deliverance, I do, too.
Just like they needed him for provision, I do, too.
Just like they messed up, I do, too.
And, he still heard them.
He still welcomed them back.
He didn’t stop being their God.
He didn’t stop being their provider.
He didn’t stop leading them.
He didn’t stop being who he was.

While the goal isn’t 40 years of learning while wandering….
I’m prayerfully grasping what they continued to miss:
 He is everything that we need.

And, if they had allowed him to be that everything all the time – even when they were afraid, even when they didn’t know, even when they felt alone – they would have experienced God in a way they never had before and would have seen what he promised and had stored up for them.

I posted on Instagram a few days ago that
we often trust that God will, but doubt that he is.
(At least I do… could be solo on that one.)
Doubt that in this situation right now, God is creating & establishing it.
Doubt that this situation right now is what we have been praying for.
Doubt that this could really be it.
Doubt that the first step in the plan, the steps we have to work hard to complete and sacrifice to accomplish, really will lead us there.

So we quit. We allow fear and “wisdom” and comforts of life and habits of our comfort zones to keep us from what God has for us.

Not this year.

And, because I really want a lobster & bacon grilled cheese sandwich for dinner tonight…. I’m going to get up and go to the store for Havarti cheese. Yes, one item. Because I want it that badly.

scraps and finished products

Oh, it’s almost Wednesday, y’all. When I say I am so ready to get to Saturday, I’m not joking. Not even a little bit.

This week is going to be so big in so many ways. I believe that this day and the ones that follow are preparing me for some pretty interesting waters. And, as much as I enjoy & desire growth, I rarely ever like the process.

One thing I struggle deeply with is my faith, and I think this is the second time I’ve realized why. lol. It’s a tough lesson for me to learn and I know I’ve been at this exact same space before – knowing and understanding this truth – but when the rubber meets the road, I completely blank.

I tend to believe God for things instead of just believing HIM. I had faith that we would get pregnant, that our fertility treatments will be successful, that our (first…. and, second) adoption will go through, or that a situation will end in my favor. So, when these things DON’T happen, I end up frustrated at God. Then, those absolutes and negative thoughts start rolling in:
Good things NEVER happen for me…I should have known that this (failure) would happen… Why did I think this would work out???

All of these thoughts make me feel so horribly about myself, my situation, and frankly about my God. Because again, God…. I’m believing You for things and you aren’t showing up. Great things are happening for others and you have left me on the sidelines. Why should I put so much faith in this when it’s not going to work out anyway?!

Until, I realized that when I believe GOD and trust His will, what happens here on this Earth is secondary. When I believe God to give me good gifts as His child, I know that what hasn’t worked out wasn’t what was best for me at the moment. I know that when I get a door slammed in my face, things are moving slowly, or I’m mistreated, I BELIEVE God when he says that all things work together for good for those who love God & who are called according to His purpose.

WHEN I BELIEVE GOD for His BEST for ME, I am able to accept the ups and downs of life with a broader, more balanced perspective of life. A perspective that grows my faith and doesn’t leave me questioning my Creator.

Tonight, I made little invitation cards for the staff. NOTHING fancy whatsoever. And, I mean that with all of the truth in all the world. lol. As I was cutting the paper, God showed me a pretty amazing lesson.

No one cares about the scraps of paper that have been cut off of this final product.
As fancy as it is NOT, what isn’t needed doesn’t stay.

Just like cutting split ends or damaged hair. Yes, it sucks because we’re attached and our hair seemed longer, but without these dead ends, our hair is able to grow healthier, longer, and it looks ten billion times better! It tangles and sheds less.

The result is all around better because of what was removed.

I’m considering all the pruning God is doing to my character and person…. Only He knows what the final outcome will be. Only he knows what He has specifically created me to look like. Everything that is cut away and done away with is for my benefit.

It may seem as if I have less “hair” or less “paper”, but the product is much more beneficial.

Believe, beloved.

Believe that God’s best is waiting for you. Believe God because He is God.
Trust Him and His plans not because we’ve reviwed them and given the blueprint of our life our stamp of approval.
Believe Him because of who he is. HIs character. His promises. His ability & willingness.

God is always good…. even when we’re left out, mistreated, disappointed, and didn’t get what we want. God is working on our behalf. Working in areas we would never imagine to look, working with people we couldn’t network enough to meet.

God is doing good things for us. He is. THAT is what I choose to believe. That God is on my side. That I am His, and He is mine.

So, with that….. no matter what or how much is pruned, no matter how painful the process, no matter what – I believe in my God. Of course, I pray for the things I desire because he tells me to. But, I choose not to focus so much on that THING, that I lose sight of the Provider.

Enter wail emoji…… because the scariest part is that you never, ever know what will be taken away. But, the one thing I do know is that I’m not in a position to dictate what should be kept and what should be tossed aside.

btw, have you ever read God’s response to Job’s (understandable) questioning and depression? Read Job 38 here…. It’ll put so much into perspective! And, if you’re not too convicted keep going… I stopped at 40. I’ll repent and continue to read soon. It just stung too dern much.

.. here’s to trusting God in all things.

… 31 life lessons

A few days ago, I said I would post 31 things I’ve learned in all of my 31 years.

1. Don’t be afraid of anyone’s response.
Fear of rejection causes us to be afraid of being true to ourselves. Ya know what else? It robs us of the courage to boldly live & speak truths to others. We’re too afraid to challenge each other and be honest in relationships because of how we think others will respond or think of us. But, believing who you are in Christ & learning to speak gently & lovingly will ease the fear of rejection and conflict. Even if we are rejected, we will know we did all we could to communicate truthfully.

2. Always be prepared to bake a cupcake, open your home, or rearrange your schedule to support a friend!
The gift of hospitality dazzles me. I have genuinely good friends who are the most amazing entertainers. And, I love watching what they do & how they do in hopes that some of that gift rubs off on me! But, even though I’m not an I incredibly social – social butterfly, I’ve learned the importance of loving on your friends and those put in your path in a tangible way. I’ve also learned (and, desperately trying to consistently apply) that it’s important to use great wisdom when extending yourself to others!

3. Yes, making your space beautiful is always worth the time, energy, and money. No matter how long you’ll be there.
Whew! Comfortable, beautiful spaces make everything so much better. Promise! Make it yours, make it beautiful.

4. Learn the balance between working hard at something that’s beneficial and spinning your wheels.
I’m a perfectionist of sorts & I often want to do something until I get it right. But, I’ve learned that there are times in our relationships & tasks that just don’t work no matter how much effort we put into it. Asking for the wisdom to know when to say when and how much to invest is so important. Realizing you’ve cast your pearls amongst swine is heartbreaking.

5. Stay in your lane & mind your business. What others are doing/pursuing/like/etc shouldn’t sway you from doing the things you enjoy or doing what’s right.
Etc includes perceptions of you and the boxes you’re put in. These things don’t matter.

6. Learn to grow & maintain positive relationships with other God fearing women.
Building relationships with other women has been the hugest blessing of my life. Beneficial in so many ways. There’s nothing like knowing you’re in it with other women who are striving to be and do just like you, women who are supportive and gracious… Women who love you because of the love you share for Christ. It’s most genuine.

7. Believe with everything in you that nothing you can receive from the people around you will compare to the confidence, reward, & joy you can receive in Christ.
Nothing…. Acceptance, love, friendship, comfort, nothing. It’s all in Jesus. There is freedom in this lesson. You aren’t afraid to speak your truth or live boldly before The Lord. Another tough lesson to consistently apply!!

8. You are no victim.
Ugh. We all make choices and sometimes they’re the wrong ones. Sometimes we stick through things longer than necessary. There are times bad things just happen for seemingly no cause. But, the truth of the matter is, wallowing in our pains don’t make us better. Hiding behind a false strength isn’t helpful. Hurt, trust God, allow Him to heal you, & forgive. Then, move on.

9. Not everyone hates you. Not everyone loves you. Don’t worry about being who either of those groups want you to be.

10. Be genuinely polite.
Or, do your best to be at least cordial. We’re all people & all want to be on the receiving end of grace in every situation.

11. Care about your appearance. Even in sweats.
I don’t believe in being decked out all of the time. But, I also believe it’s important to present yourself well no matter what you’re wearing. Comfy can be cute, too!!

12. Rest. But don’t be lazy.
There’s a big difference.

13. Set goals.
Give yourself something to work towards & dream big in every organization, at every task, and in every relationship. Stagnant isn’t cute. In anything. It all matters.

14. Don’t settle, but don’t set your standards so high that they’re unattainable. You can easily become shallow and hard hearted.
It’s no fun being around someone who is never satisfied and who wants to be understood but doesn’t want to understand. We aren’t matured and our relationships don’t develop or deepen this way.

15. Self evaluate and work to be the person you’d want to be with.
…… In any relationship, on any level.

16. Learn to truly forgive and be gracious.
Biggest blessing in life. Talk about freedom. Constantly seeing yourself a a sinner saved soley by grace and not your gifts, talents, or because you’re kind is huge. You’re never good enough to earn or deserve salvation.

17. Work out – take care of your body.
It’s therapeutic and you’ll feel much better about yourself. You’ll look great & be much healthier.

18. Anyone who sees that you’re worth their time will pursue yours.
Point blank, period. No need to chase or beg. Actions speak louder than words.

19. No one comes into the world able to do everything; but those humble enough to learn from others will be able to do anything.

20. Asking to be taught (vs asking for something to be done for you) & seeking knowledge and wisdom is a few of the most important skills you can learn.

21. Practice makes you better. At everything.
Be disciplined, sacrifice, and work hard. At it all. (Being gracious, kind, on working through hurts, communication when upset. Alllll of it.)

22. Learn to effectively communicate and hear.
It improves your relationships drastically. Working on this. See 21. Lol.

23. You really are greater than you think. And, worse than you realize. (Usually!) We tend to think our issues aren’t so bad and our gifts are immaculate. Even when we are really good, thinking this way will cause us to puff up and become unwilling to give what we want to receive.

24. Upkeep & your presentation are 1000% worth every nickel & moment. Always. & it’s fun.

25. Learn to be authentic, forgiving, & confident early. Remember that no one is a threat to you – you can either be your own biggest cheerleader or the sabotage behind your own demise.
You are worth so much and deserve the things you wish for. Believe it & live freely.

26. Going straight from HS to a baccalaureate program to Masters & beyond really is the easiest way.
Just do it. The time is going to pass anyway.

27. Follow your heart and open your mind. Dream with your entire imagination.
Believe in yourself.

28. You’re never too good to work hard or start from the bottom. Entitlement is a fantasy.

29. Do it. Who cares? Jump from a plane, get a piecing, go to concerts, make mistakes, take a chance – you’ll learn a lot, recover, have a great story to tell, & experience to recount & you’ll have had FUN while you can.

30. Learn who you are – what makes you happy, what you’re willing to accept, what you won’t tolerate and stand by it. Don’t be swayed by anything but wisdom in understanding the why’s behind the what’s.

31. Remember the spectacular, keep only what’s worth saving, & let go of the rest!!

My Vote For President Of The United States

President Barack Obama has been re-elected and won by a significant margin. Would my vote have mattered? Not at all. But for the sake of discussion, let’s discuss it. When it came down to my vote, there were a number of logical directions. Definitely out of the picture was President Obama himself, as well as Green candidate Jill Stein. As a Republican, perhaps the “lesser of two evils” argument could be convincing enough for Governor Mitt Romney. As a libertarian, the possibility of the 5% threshold could be convincing enough for former New Mexico Governor Gary Johnson. Or even as a Ron Paul supporter, the write-in space could be utilized for the Texas Congressman himself. It was a difficult decision.

For weeks, the thought process was endless. Voting for Romney very well could be worth it just for stopping President Obama, and for a while, it was a convincing thought within my own head. But the more I thought about it, the more my principles got in the way.

What’s the next logical step? Gary Johnson could work. The Libertarian Party of Maine is rebuilding after years of minimal activity, and has solid leadership under Chairman Jorge Maderal. The only problem is a number of conflicts with Johnson himself. Johnson is solid on fiscal matters, but on some views, there are some troubling points that got in the way.

Since long before opening day of the Republican primaries, myself and many others in the Ron Paul grassroots were hard at work. A grassroots structure was in place, coordinating efforts to promote through sign waves and other education methods, long before Ron Paul even began formally considering a bid. The Ron Paul state campaign, led by Ryan Flowers, would come to Maine and assist the grassroots in delegate recruitment and organization going into the caucuses. A hard, long fight would result in incredible gains.

This hard work was defeated in the end and that would have been fine, had the defeat been fair. But it was not. The Romney campaign had their reliable State chairman Peter Cianchette lead a delegation challenge alongside sore loser Jan Staples, which would divide the party at the launch of the general election. The lawyers for the campaign would then hijack the Republican Party at the National Convention, seizing control of the nomination process and ensuring nobody “think outside the box” anymore.

Inside the Republican Party, one thing has become clear: People are to shut up and tow the party line. Charlie Webster didn’t tolerate the legitimate questions of his failing operation after the February caucuses, which we a disaster. He slammed the concerned party members and attacked the new activists who had been wronged, calling them names such as “wing nuts.” What kind of leadership is this?

Now after this, and everything else discussed recently on my blog, the Republican Party has lost. They lost not by one vote, or two. They d didn’t even lose because everyone went third party. Even with the third party votes, the Republican Party, like in 2008, still would have gotten crush. It’s time for the leadership to stop hiding behind the third party excuse and admit there is a very serious problem within.

Tuesday afternoon, I approached the enclosed booth with my ballot in hand. A decision had to be made. Would I vote for Mitt Romney, a candidate I disagree with on a number of issues and was at heart, really just the status quo? Would I vote for Gary Johnson, a candidate who was not a pure libertarian at heart, but could lead the Libertarian Party to 5%? Would I write-in Ron Paul and help make a statement against the Republican Party establishment that discarded all the hard work myself and fellow supporters put in?

The decision I made would be…

Write-in Congressman Ron Paul.

How to Protect your Chimney from Raccoon Invasion

Even though raccoons may look like cute ant twitchy-nosed animals, they can actually jump on the roofs and cause a number of problems. But there are certain things that every owner can do, in order to protect his house or you can simply call raccoon removal Toronto. In fact, any long hollow area attracts raccoons, that’s why the love chimneys. The following are some major steps of how to protect your chimney from raccoon invasion.

Set Traps

Homeowners can set traps if they know that raccoons live in their chimneys. Especially female raccoons seek out these kind of areas, in order to create their nest. The best way for owners is to set up a special chimney trap, right at the top of the flu, in order to catch them as they are trying to get out. In case there are babies inside the chimney, homeowners can remove them by their hands safely. Or they can be a ground trap, at the bottom of the chimney.

Use Ammonia or Natural Repellent

Another option to get rid of raccons is to use a natural repellent, that can be bought from a farm supply store. Alternatively, they can use ammonia; they can put a cup of ammonia on a place directly below the damper and they have to leave it there for approximately 24 hours. This can make raccoons go away in about two or three days.

Place a cap on the Chimney

This has to be done after all the raccoons have evacuated the chimney. Home owners can understand that their chimney is free of these animals by shining a light, in order to be sure they are not still there. Afterwards, they just need to see the chimney flue from the top part of the roof to be certain that there are no animals present. When they are certain that their roof is free from the raccoons, they can place a chimney cap at the top of the chimney. They can make it by themselves or they can buy it from farm stores. Then they just have to follow the installation directions. This way they will prevent any future visits of raccoons or any other similar animals.

When owners try to get rid of these little creatures, they need to be very careful. For example, they must not use smoke, mothballs or naphtha flakes or anything similar. They need to remember that an adult raccoon can jump out of the chimney very easily, but their babies can not. All these vapors can cause a number of problems to raccoon babies and their mother can become very agitated, in order to try to escape from the vapors.

How to Control Urban Animals and Prevent Property Damage

Wherever you look that you can find human civilization, so too can you find some form of natural habitat that is coexisting alongside them. Along village outskirts, natural habitats divided by roadways, and densely populated urban ares you can see humans and wildlife interacting with one another each and every day. Urban and Suburban areas can be found to not only be populated by humans but by all sorts of wildlife as well, typically common animals. Squirrels, raccoons, rodents such as mice and rats, birds, and even bats have been known to find refuge in homeowners’ walls and attics.

With the inevitability of homeowners conflicting with animal wildlife we ask ourselves, “How to control urban animals and prevent property damage?” Typically wildlife and humans can live alongside one another peacefully, however, conflicts can arise in which a homeowner might find his or her property damaged, their gardens destroyed, or even an unwelcome guest such as a skunk residing beneath their porch, holding the homeowner captive. Homeowners may have been careless and inadvertently created conditions in which wildlife may thrive, or unknowingly attracted wildlife by the feeding of domesticated animals. In a lot of cases, these situations can be avoided or prevented in many ways such as keeping garbage and recycling containers cleaned, removing fallen fruit during the summer, cleaning and picking up old wood piles and keeping your yard tidy, maintaining fences, eliminating and limiting access to food sources, and the use of simple deterrents.

Many homeowners have found themselves in situations in which repellents have become a necessity in ridding themselves of unwelcome and furry visitors. Commercial repellents can be found online for most common animals and pests. Some techniques utilize the use of hot peppers such as Cayenne, Jalapeno, and yellow onions being blended together and boiled for 20 minutes in two quarts of water, allowing it cool afterwards, before straining the mixture, then using a spray bottle to apply to areas in which animal deterrence is wanted, however, it will only last for 3-5 days. Others may prefer the use of mechanical deterrents such as motion-activated sprinklers which are great for keeping animals out of yards and large areas. To keep animals such as raccoons from pilfering through a homeowner’s garbage, it has been suggested that they pour about one cup of ammonia in the trash can about once a week after it has been picked up, making sure that the garbage can has a lid that securely closes, keeping it inside of closets and sheds until they are ready to set it out, or sprinkling the surrounding area with granules or using the hot pepper spray.

All of these tactics and techniques have diverse rates of success dependent on many various factors, but as long as homeowners maintain diligence in preventing and deterring urban animals they will soon see a difference in the amount of property damage they incur.

Understanding Animal Control and Removal

What is defined as a pest is something that can interrupt regular daily activities. Pest control is a series of human activities that aim to limit the negative effects of pests. Animal control is a kind of pest control that specifically deals with small animals that can become either dangerous or nuisances to humans.

There are many similarities between pest control and animal control however there are differences as well. The similarities lie in the fact that are both activities performed to control a pest population. The differences have to do with the type of pest being controlled.

Even though many people confuse the two there are many differences between pest control and animal control. Since most homes are merely invaded by small creatures and insects, most homeowners call for a pest exterminator. However, when you speak about animal control and removal, this requires extensive knowledge on different mammals and reptiles from the animal kingdom. When we refer to animal control and removal, this may call for specific animal management skills, which are different from conventional pest control.

Insects as pests can easily be dealt with insecticides from chemical laboratories, whereas prohibiting a possum from rummaging through your trash bin cannot be done by a mere spray of a pesticide. As humans progress and evolve constantly throughout the years, animals also move in their own quick pace as they meddle with other environmental spaces inhabited by humans.

In answering the question, “What is animal control and removal,” this may reflect the presence of an animal that is living in urban habitats. Some widely known examples are pigeons and rats. In dumpsters, raccoons are often seen fumbling through trash in search for food, whereas smaller mammals such as squirrels live on trees to propagate their kind. However as science declares evolution, some mammals have also learned their way of living inside building establishments and human homes.

While inside, they are free to destroy furniture and other human possessions. These animals nibble on wood and make uncomfortable noises that make it hard for many people to sleep at night. Since most come from non-sanitized habitats, the chances of getting viruses and germs spread throughout the area present a high risk for humans. Although most animals come in different sizes, it is often the smallest ones who do the most damage in every home. It is always best that you know how to contact the nearest animal control and removal office in your town.

Most animal removal companies also obtain licenses prior to practicing their job. Ensuring that you are hiring a professional will not only make certain that you get quality service, but will also prevent such nuisances from reappearing in your personal establishments. Aside from wildlife trapping, these accredited companies also do additional services such as repairing damages done by animals and cleaning up trashed areas. Preventive measures are also taught and applied with homeowners for future use.

Removing Raccoons – Raccoon Animal Control Methods

Raccoons, also known as Procyon lotor is a common pest in the United States. They have a unique black mask on the face with a ringed tail. Raccoons mostly inhabit hollow trees and areas with water nearby such as lakes and streams. Raccoons can become a nuisance when they migrate looking for refuge and forage for food. They like constructing their dens in places such as beneath porches, chimneys, and outbuildings. The animal’s diet mostly consists of grains, berries, nuts, and fruits from the garden. They also feed on animals such as fish, frogs, snails, and crabs. Many home and business owners are forced into protective measures to prevent inconveniences that may be caused by raccoons such as refuse scatter and damage of properties.

Ways of preventing raccoon’s infestation

· Inspection

Inspection is the first step when it comes to getting rid of raccoons from your home. You need to confirm the presence of raccoons before taking any further action. Evidence of the animal’s presence include their fecal droppings, seeing them roaming around your home, and garbage containers overturned by the animals while feeding on its contents among many others.

· Trapping

Trapping raccoons can be your best bet for getting rid of them. However, some states do not allow trapping and relocation of these animals. You will be required to have a permit before relocating the animals. You can use the various foods eaten by these animals as bait. The most recommended food is canned cat food or canned tuna. You should be careful not to trap a wrong animal like your neighbor’s cat.

· Exclusion method

Exclusion is another reliable method that you can employ to keep these animals away from your home. Seal potential entry points that raccoons can use to gain access to your home. The vents in your roof should be heavy duty and animal proof. Cover the chimney and other roof vents using caps to prevent the animals from building their dens.

· Keep your yard clean and free from food leftovers

Raccoons won’t have a reason to invade your home if there is no food. The garbage containers should be kept clean, and all debris should be picked. The refuse containers should have tight fitting lids. Pet foods should not be left outside overnight. You may have to put up an electric fence around the garden to prevent the animals from invading the garden.

· Limit the amount of water available

Raccoons love residing in places with water. Cover your fish pond with a wire mesh to prevent raccoons from gaining access. If you have a swimming pool, you may need to cover it overnight. Raccoon feces in the pool can be a source of an infection.

The ‘Anglophone’ Conflict in Cameroon: Causes, Consequences and Conflict Resolution?

James Kewir Kiven, University of Buea and African Leadership Centre, Kings College London,
Gordon Crawford, Coventry University and University of Freiburg

Short abstract:

The current ‘Anglophone’ conflict in Cameroon is an internationally neglected civil war, one having a devastating impact on civilian populations. This panel seeks to highlight the causes and consequences and possible means of conflict resolution, notably through the efforts of CSOs in a highly constrained environment.

Long abstract:

The ‘Anglophone’ conflict in bi-lingual Cameroon is an internationally neglected civil war, ongoing since 2016, between government security forces and separatist groups calling for an independent state in the Anglophone regions. The conflict continues to escalate and English-speaking civilians have suffered wide-ranging and brutal abuses, with over 200 villages burnt-down, thousands killed, over half a million internally displaced people, and
tens of thousands of external refugees (Norwegian Refugee Council, May 2019). Civil society organisations (CSOs) have been involved in various ways from the onset of the conflict, with lawyers’ groups and teachers’ associations involved in the initial protests that led to a government crackdown, as well as in national and international efforts to resolve the conflict. Yet CSOs face major constraints in a context where an autocratic central state is engaged in a counter-insurgency military campaign.

This panel will draw attention to this often overlooked and neglected conflict, despite its daily death toll and militarised nature. The panel welcomes a focus on various aspects of the conflict, including the following topics. It will explore the impact of the conflict on
civilian populations and the humanitarian consequences, including gendered aspects. It will examine the historical roots and longstanding issues that underpin the conflict from the post-World War I League of Nations mandate onwards, inclusive of more recent spatial and linguistic inequalities that gave rise to the current civil war.

The panel aims to focus in particular on the role of CSOs in conflict resolution, including women’s organisations, and the challenges faced in striving to achieve dialogue between warring factions that include the state itself. This focus could include the role of the media and its coverage of the conflict. It also wishes to draw on lessons from comparative cases on the role of CSOs in conflict resolution in other African countries.

Freekeh, feta and tomato salad

November 19, 2016

With the impending onset of summer, salads are once again set to grace the table on a regular basis. What’s great about a salad is you can throw it together in an instant, and that’s extremely important when the mere thought of cooking in hot weather makes you cringe. I love basing a salad around a grain – to my mind it gives it a more hearty vibe. I usually use varieties of couscous (Caponata with Pearl Couscous and Almonds or Lamb Fillet with Roast Vegetable Couscous) or rice but am more than happy to experiment with alternatives.

Which brings me freekeh. The other day I was standing in the queue at the local pharmacy waiting to pay for my purchases. Weirdly, they had a large stand of ‘health’ foods: nuts, seeds and a range of grains next to the registers forcing you to look and ponder as you waited for your turn. It certainly beats the chocolate bar stand at the supermarket. On a whim I grabbed a packet of freekeh. My ignorance of this supposedly ancient grain led me to research said ingredient. What I found out is that it’s wheat that is harvested when it is young and green. Not only that, it’s considered a superfood, being low in fat and high in protein and fibre. Indeed, a super food to rival quinoa!

I cooked the grain using an absorption method in accordance with the instructions on the packet. When it was cooked it had a really dirty flavour, which wasn’t very pleasant. So… I rinsed it. Now this may have washed all the goodness down the sink, but it tasted so much better. Cleaner. Edible. Rinsing and boiling it in a pot of water might be a better option.

Despite this minor setback, the end result was delicious. The grain is slightly chewy and has a nutty, slightly earthy flavour, which goes well with roasted capsicum and sun dried tomatoes. I cooked some lamb covered in Ras el hanout to go with it, but leave it out and it’s a great vegetarian feast. Enjoy!

freekeh feta and vegetable salad

freekeh feta and vegetable salad

Freekeh, feta and vegetable salad served with lamb fillet
Serves: 4
  • 250 g freekeh, rinsed
  • 60 g feta, crumbled
  • 1 small red onion, cut into wedges
  • 1 small lebanese cucumber, cut into thin strips
  • 1 red capsicum
  • a handful of cherry tomatoes, quartered
  • 6 sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • a handful of baby spinach leaves
  • 1 tablespoon roughly chopped mint leaves
  • juice of ½ lemon
  • 1 small clove garlic, crushed
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • salt and pepper
  1. Preheat the oven 200 degrees celsius.
  2. Cook the freekeh grains in a large pot of salted boiling water for approximately 40 minutes or until they are tender. Drain completely and set aside.
  3. Cut the capsicum in half and place cut side down, along with the onion wedges, on a baking tray. Drizzle over a little olive oil, and roast in the oven for 35 minutes, or until the capsicums are well softened. Remove from the oven and leave to cool.
  4. When cool enough to handle, peel the skin off the capsicum and slice into thin strips.
  5. In a large salad bowl, put the freekeh, spinach, capsicum, onion, cucumber, quartered tomatoes, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, crumbled feta and mint. Mix together.
  6. To make the dressing: in a small bowl or jar with a lid, add the garlic, pinch of salt, the juice of ½ a lemon, three tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil, and pepper. Mix or shake well to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning as required.
  7. Add dressing to the salad and gently stir through. I like to add a little dressing at a time so that I don't add too much. Nothing quite as bad as a soggy salad.

This podcast explores the many facets of the 9-11 attacks which contradict the governments official story, the massive cover-up which is currently underway, the failure of the mainstream media in America to ask real questions, and the aftermath of 9-11 including the un-Constitutional wars and the taking of liberty here at home. This broadcast examines the big picture of what is taking place in America today and how September 11th fits into the scheme of things. Forget "conspiracy theory"! The governments own story about what happened is itself a "conspiracy theory"! We want 9-11 Truth.

May 21, 2007

In this special broadcast of Visibility 9-11, Michael guest hosts the first of a series of interviews for the radio program Words of Freedom with George Flynn. Words of Freedom is aired on KRFC, 88.9 FM in Fort Collins, Colorado on Monday nights at 5:30 - 6:00 pm mountain time (no commercials).  This opportunity provides a valuable window to introduce 9-11 truth to an audience who rarely hear our message.  Many thanks to George for the honor of sitting in for him while he is away on business.

This episode introduces to the listeners of KRFC, Kevin Ryan, formerly of Underwriters Laboratories for a discussion on his termination from UL, the NIST Report, and his ongoing lawsuit against UL.

Kevin presently serves as Co-Editor at the Journal of 9-11 Studies and is a member of Scholars for 9-11 Truth and Justice.

3 Benefits of Using a Charcoal Sponge

As many people know, I am a research “hacker”.  I find things that make my life easier and I share it with you.  In all things natural, this is my calling.  So some time ago, I told all my clients about my new discovery…which was on something that has been around for a while. Activated charcoal means the carbon is infused with oxygen and is prepared for human ingestion (in the case of poisoning or detox) and skincare products. This oxygenation creates a super porous surface, increasing its ability to absorb matter and toxins. Possibly the most absorbent cosmetic ingredient out there, activated charcoal is said to have the ability to absorb thousands of times its own weight.

Say what???  Get out of town you neat thing you.  What does it do though?

3 Benefits of Using a Charcoal Sponge:

  1. It removes impurities from your skin and improves the overall feeling and texture.  I love the way my charcoal sponge feels and it was weird at first…but I was so impressed with my skin texture.  It seemed so odd that it helped that fast!!
  2. It can aid in detoxing your body…which was why I looked it up in the first place.  I wanted to remove any build up of soap off my skin before using my products.  I like to put a wrap on fresh clean skin and this was the way to do it.
  3. It’s said to be anti-aging.  So activated charcoal is said to tighten pores and smooth the skin. It also reduces inflammation, which is significant in preventing premature aging.  All things i needed in my life.  So that was good enough for me to try a few of the products with charcoal.

Here are a few things you can try and let me know what you think!

The Sponge I used is this one:

Apparently, this is The BEST Dead Sea Mask:

And I want to try this face sponge as well:

Lastly, everyone knows I am a nut for some tea tree oil as well so oohh-ahh:

What a year of elections means for Latin America's economies

Economic growth
Politics and Economy

This article was previously published in the World Economic Forum Blog on January 10, 2018, and is part of the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting.

Latin American political systems have evolved in a major way this century. Most countries in the region are established democracies, with regular and fair votes, a free and investigative media, and independence among the different branches of government.

In 2018, Latin America will hold several elections, notably for the presidencies of Colombia (May-June), Mexico (July), and Brazil (October). In addition to the presidential seats, these countries will renew their Congresses and several state governments. The outcome of the presidential races, accompanied by Congressional elections, will help shape economic policies in the region over the next decade.

The elections will take place amid a mild upswing across the region. In principle, this should benefit the incumbent parties. Specifically, GDP growth is likely to increase from 1.6% to 2.5% in Colombia, to remain unchanged at slightly over 2% in Mexico, and to accelerate from 1% to 3% in Brazil. Inflationary pressures will probably remain contained in these countries, between 3-4%, close to the targets pursued by the three central banks.

Absent major shocks, the Brazilian real and Colombian peso should depreciate modestly, thanks to continuing monetary tightening in the US. The fate of the Mexican Peso seems more uncertain. The currency seems undervalued, and therefore is a candidate for appreciation, unless the outcome of ongoing NAFTA negotiations is too adverse. Against this background, monetary policy is likely to be eased further in Colombia, by some 50-75bps, and Brazil (50bps). It may be tightened some more in Mexico (25-50bps), as its central bank shadows, to some extent, the US Federal Reserve.

Important though these elections will be, one should not overestimate their impact. This is because these economies face challenges that limit the scope for any action, and focus the attention and energy of whoever prevails in the respective races.

In the case of Colombia, the challenge is to complete the peace process and face the inherent fiscal costs without endangering the country’s important investment grade status. This is a problem evidenced by the recent sovereign rating downgrade. While Colombia’s debt to GDP ratio is not that high compared with some other countries in the region, the primary result has fallen substantially since 2012, as oil-related revenues dwindled.

The authorities, irrespective of political affiliation, will need to increase revenues in order to bring the surplus back towards the 1%-of-GDP threshold. Colombia also faces having to cope with a wave of refugees from neighbouring Venezuela. In some scenarios, this might imply a fiscal impact close to 0.5% of GDP.

Mexico’s challenges are more connected to the external environment than to fiscal issues, although the latter should not be overlooked (we estimate gross public sector debt rose by 12 percentage points of GDP between 2012 and 2017). The key challenge facing the new administration will be dealing with the aftermath of the NAFTA negotiations. To the extent that a new North American trade arrangement hinders the free flow of goods across the three economies in the region, currencies will need to adjust.

The MXN will be the key mechanism by which Mexico copes with the new situation. A weaker peso would have inflationary implications that would impinge on short-term economic policy decisions, especially regarding interest rates. One would hope that the outcome of NAFTA negotiations does not lead Mexico to abandon its trade and outward-looking development strategy, again irrespective of the outcome of the vote.

As for Brazil, the fiscal predicament should be the incoming administration’s first priority, irrespective of the election result. Gross public sector debt rose from some 54% of GDP to close to 75% between 2012 and 2017. To stabilize the debt, Brazil needs to implement fiscal adjustment of some 5 percentage points of GDP. With that in mind, the authorities introduced a constitutional ceiling on expenditure growth, to adjust the fiscal stance gradually, but its resilience is as yet unproven. Some factors should help the fiscal accounts in the near-term, such as an economic recovery and the effects of historically low interest rates.

Image: IMF for Mexico, Colombia, Peru; Brazilian Central Bank (2012) and Itaú (2017F) for Brazil

However, without further reforms, debt dynamics are likely to worsen again in the near-term, which would prevent any sustainable recovery of economic activity. With trade accounting for just 18% of GDP - one of the lowest ratios within the G20 - and European Union-Mercosur trade negotiations reaching a critical point, incoming Brazilian authorities will need to reflect whether to persist on the country’s longstanding protectionist stance, or to integrate more decisively in global trade.

All three countries also face mounting challenges regarding digital inclusion. This is likely to be a key source of competitive advantage (or disadvantage) in this century. Brazil, Colombia, and Mexico stood at 55th, 65th, and 71st in the World Economic Forum’s 2017-18 Global Competitiveness Report, a 137-country ranking. Luxembourg, Switzerland, and Holland came top. The US came 6th.

It is hard to envisage Latin American economies gaining ground in competitiveness and per capita income rankings without also gaining ground in their technological readiness. This is a challenge that will be relevant for some time to come, regardless of the outcome of the elections.

The 2018 Latam vote marathon may add some volatility to asset prices from time to time. It will certainly concentrate the attention of investors and corporate leaders. But its relevance to long-term issues should not be overestimated. Fiscal, trade and technological challenges remain paramount.

A Combination of Thoughts

I’d like to start by complimenting USAWrestling and for some that might mean breaking out the smelling salts. It’s something I’ve wanted to do for a while now given I don’t hesitate to call their leadership out when their priorities get out of whack.

So to begin, I’d like to recognize their staff and every one of their volunteers who work tirelessly not only for the sport but the children in their care. I can’t begin to tell you how much I respect what they do, why they do it and believe their unselfish sacrifices shouldn’t go unnoticed. Wrestling has always been a solid family unit and they’re all part of what’s good about the sport.

In a nutshell, USAWrestling is simply one of the best NGB’s that the USOC has in their stable. They are to wrestling what Secretariat or Sea Biscuit was to thoroughbred racing. Even its leadership is functioning close to Triple Crown levels when it comes to administering the organization.

But notice I chose the word close to describe their efforts. They certainly should receive a great deal of kudos for growing their organization but I guess I have to ask, at what cost to others and are they fulfilling their role as National Governing Body?

For the answer to the second part I went to the USOC website. I wanted to see how they defined the responsibility of being a National Governing Body. Here’s what I found; USAWrestling has two basic obligations:

  • To generate resources in support of its mission statement to help American athletes achieve sustained competitive excellence.
  • To ensure that their resources are used both wisely and effectively to that end.

When I began above, my praise of USAWrestling was reflective of their capabilities to generate a level of resources that are the envy of most, if not all the NGB’s in Colorado Springs, even given the USOC’s reduction in performance funding due to a decline in medal production. But relative to measuring their “sustained competitive excellence” they’re falling woefully short and regarding “wise and effective” use of resources that I’ll cover later in the blog.

To be an NGB, sustained international performances are half of the equation.

It’s not the number of memberships an organization sells or the quality of USAWrestling’s monthly magazine which is amazing by the way or the robustness of their website. But rather or not are they developing competitive excellence, do our singlets evoke a sense of global respect like Iowa’s did on a national basis during Gable’s tenure?

This should be easy to answer; it’s a yes or no question. Are we or are we not being successful internationally? If the answer is yes, all’s good. If it’s a no, before pointing fingers we should ask two questions; are we close and are our programs moving in the right direction?

Unfortunately the answers are no and no. We’re not competitive and if I can say anything positive here it’s we’re not headed in the wrong direction. We’re just remaining constant.

Were you aware, out of the Top 72 ranked freestyle wrestlers in the world; America only has 2 of them; Burroughs and Snyder. That means the United States; a country that is #1 in the world in every support category imaginable only has 2.7% of the planets best freestylers. Yes that’s correct, less than 3% of the world’s studs are American.

And unfortunately we’re only half that successful in Greco with 1 wrestler in the Top 72 and he’s ranked 5th in the world. That means America is dominating 1.3% of the Greco field.

On the women’s side we do a little better with 3 of our ladies ranked in the Top 72 or 4.1% of the field.

How is any of this possible? With everything we have going for us in the Land of the Free and Plenty; these numbers are beyond excusable. And it’s NOT the fault of our athletes. They are every bit as resilient, talented and amazing as anything the Europeans can put on the mat; but the two groups as a whole are vastly different.

The developmental years for the Eastern Europeans is far more physically challenging than what we have to go through here in the states. As children they have to fight for their next meal and the word bullying doesn’t exist in their cultures; nor is politically correct something they understand. The result is their physical builds and mentalities tend to mirror the immoveable object in relationship to the irresistible force of the Americans. We tend to be more creative, stubborn and proud than our counterparts. These differences and the way we don’t train to take advantage of our skillsets should be a blog by itself.

Our system is broken and leadership refuses to bite the bullet and do what is politically uncomfortable to fulfill their obligation as wrestling’s NGB. To find out why not you have to ask the President and Executive Director, they control the organizations direction and narrative from their offices on Lehman Drive.

Continuing comparisons, in men’s freestyle Iran, a country that is 20% the size of America in terms of population, has every member of their starting lineup ranked in the Top 10. As for depth, Russia with a population that’s less than half that of the United States has 8 times more ranked freestylers in the Top 10 than we do; 8 times.

As a breakdown, they have 3 of the top 4 ranked wrestlers in the world at 97kg and they have the #1 and #2 guys at 89kg. At 65 kg they have a World Champion and a formerly ranked #1 in the world. At 61kg they have stabled a World Champion, a formally ranked #1 and an Olympic Champion all battling it out to make the trip to Rio. To give you even a better idea of their depth; the worst guy on their team is ranked 3rd in the world and rumor has it he’s being sent to Siberia to mine for that which has eluded him on the mats.

At last year’s World Championships in Las Vegas, with home field advantage we finished a disappointing 7th as a team; not a memorable effort. And for those of you who are statistic junkies, the combined population of all six countries who finished ahead of us is 10 million less than what we have in the United States.

Let me reiterate once again; USAWrestling is a wonderful organization and it’s important for everyone to know how I feel because it’s so easy to think the opposite given the number of times I write unenthusiastic things about our NGB.

I hate losing as much as I’m sure you do . . . that need for dominance is what makes America great and I suspect why you’re reading this just as it’s why I write. God knows it’s not that I’m looking for a job, applause or some political appointment; I just want our athletes to be the best they can be.

With that being said I work particularly hard at double checking my facts and being as open-minded as I can with regard to how I portray individuals, events and happenings. Being factual, fair and balanced is always my goal.

But like beauty being in the eye of the beholder, what’s fair isn’t always seen as being balanced and what’s balanced isn‘t always seen as being fair. Way too often those whose ox is being gored turn to the weakest 2% of any article and spend 98% of their time challenging the perceived inaccuracy of the point that was trying to be made. But that’s fine; you can identify who those individuals are by reading the responses they post.

But the reason for this particular blog is not to appear displeased by the actions of USAWrestling’s leaders but to point out their deficiencies because I will never give up on the American athlete.

As to the other 50% of being an NGB, using resources wisely and effectively, USAWrestling is not doing well there either.

Given that over half of the events they sanction are in folkstyle where they spend resources promoting and at times producing, one must question how that assists their athletes in the quest for international dominance; especially when Colorado Springs continually uses the excuse that folkstyle undermines their ability to be competitive internationally. Certainly developing folkstyle helps increase membership numbers which can’t be a bad thing. However that also has to divide their staff’s attention between the various wrestling styles and place a strain on budgetary resources. That’s not what an NGB is supposed to do and for those who might not know, the real reason why they got into folkstyle in the first place was to obstruct the operation and development of Nuway, the AAU and all the other independent event operators. To say otherwise would be misleading.

Regarding the latter, if it’s true that the more milk a dairy farm produces, the more cream they have available to sell, then I’m confused why USAWrestling is trying to kill all the cows in the country other than their own? Remember an NGB is supposed to be responsible for the health, safety and development of the sport they oversee which logic dictates would lead to sustained competitive excellence overseas. So given that fact relies on how much cream they have to work with, why are they purposely trying to put all the other dairy farms in America out of business? It sure doesn’t sound like USAWrestling is a National Governing Body if we use the USOC’s definition of what constitutes one.

On the subject of the recent events surrounding Frank Molinaro, I’m very happy for the young man and so looking forward to watching him compete in Rio. I think “the Tank” will roll because 1) He’s motivated and 2) He understands a great opportunity when he sees one.

In closing were you aware that USAWrestling recently spent somewhere in the neighborhood of $175,000.00 to try and punch the tickets of those athletes that hadn’t qualified for Rio. And out of that expenditure we weren’t very successful. Only 2 more athletes qualified which has to be a huge ouch to the budget. Good thing is doesn’t take $87,500.00 to qualify each of the 18 weight classes.

As much as I appreciate USAWrestling’s willingness to do whatever it takes to put Americans on the Olympic team, why weren’t those weights qualified earlier? Almost a fifth of a million dollars is a heck of a hit to take for leadership boo-boos. But then again, when it’s not personal money being spent, I guess that’s okay.

8 thoughts on “A Combination of Thoughts

  1. It seems to me that until we can change our wrestling culture to freestyle and Greco, we will always be at some disadvantage against international competition. Where would we be if our kid wrestling, grade school, high school and college competition were no longer based on folk style?

    • Probably better off but given that isn’t going to happen anytime soon, we need to get USAWrestling firing on all cylinders. And it’s not that the engine is broken, those who control the car want to do it their way more than they want to win.

  2. I loved that you used to data to support your claim. But I would like to see specific solutions to these claims–beyond a vague reference to policies and procedures being administered by the NGB. If you were given the keys to the car, specifically where would you take it? Last, as an English teacher (and fan) I would ask that you pump the brakes on the semi-colons and fix your first “they’re” (“…they’re priorities get out of whack…”)

    • Mike . . . thanks for the head’s up on “they’re”. I missed that, oops.

      If you had a chance to read some of my previous blogs I do mention what I feel needs attention how and why.

      I guess I have to ask, is your interest in specific solutions to edify or a political interest where one asks for solutions so they can mire the detractor in the minutia of nit-picking? I think I have always been pretty straight forward in mentioning problems along with solutions. The fine points of which I can’t provide until I become privy to the behind the scenes issues. So typically I only provide maybe 70% of a solution to any shortcoming given what I don’t know all the facts.

      I did enjoy your reference to being vague . . . I can’t remember the last time anyone accused me of being vague. I guess that reference qualifies for an Executive Director position.

      If you want one thing I’d absolutely do is I’d have all the athletes in one location training with one another and immediately discontinue Regional Training Centers. (See the previous blog) Will that cause some hardships, yes. But we’re in this war together, which is defined as being the best we can be. Something we’re clearly not.

      But the main thrust of my USAWrestling blogs are to make people take a hard look at our performances given all we have going for us here in America. Then come to the same conclusion that I have, something is very wrong.

  3. Aaron . . . good point, reasonable questions. But the United States is disliked by pretty much everyone. There’s nothing they like more than to see us stumble or better yet be humiliated. So nothing we propose in respect to the rules will the Europeans ever support. This is one thing that isn’t our leaderships fault, we only have but one vote so we have to forget that suggestion as being an option and focus on those things that will make a performance difference.

    Don’t know what scoring changes you’re referring to that helped us? Reducing the match time from 9 minutes to 5 and then to 6 and if you win the first 2 minute periods you win the match – they don’t help up. Americans have always been conditioning freaks and many times we beat those with better skill sets by running them out of gas. Shorter matches help everyone but us. The issue is USAWrestling couldn’t stop those changes from being instituted.

    As to the scoring changes, yes, they made changes but what’s the difference? A takedown is a takedown, whether it’s 1 point or 2, as long as it’s the same for both athletes, all’s fair and nothing has changed except the scores are doubled and the same athlete still wins.

    When they also voted to eliminate stalling calls that cost the offender a point, that hurt us as well. We must always assume that the rest of the world will change rules whenever they can to put us at a disadvantage. So we must concentrate on that which doesn’t/won’t hurt us, by having athletes that are better on their feet than any other country does. A takedown will always be a takedown and king.

    Thanks for taking the time to respond.

    Warm Regards, Wade

  4. Wade, you might also want to mention all the points brought up here by Brock Hite: http://www.flowrestling.org/article/41876-post-soviet-states-taking-medals-at-unprecedented-rate

    Russians/Former Soviets in abundance, Iran working with South America, Cubans defecting, fewer weight classes. Not to mention that the last MFS championships won (93 and 95) coincided with the immediate collapse of the Soviet Union, so all those countries were not on their feet yet, and the worlds those years were in Canada and USA.

    I want America to be #1 and win 18 golds just like you do, but you are not providing context with your numbers. As well as doing a lot of top down blaming, when we could certainly be doing a better job at the grassroots level to root out coaches who only make kids wrestle folk and make kids cut weight.

    • In any organization the person or person’s who decide direction and supply the leadership to achieve goals is at the top. You make a good point about grassroots but the person or person’s who have to address the problem is at the top. Top down is the only way things change.

      I have no idea what you mean by context, I dug through the statistics to show where we are woefully inadequate in relation to other countries and then placed them in the article.

      If you missed my point, we could be doing a lot better and we’re not; and it’s directly due to the policies and procedures created and administered by the top.

  5. Doesn’t it make sense for USAWrestling to spend a significant amount of time to lobby the international organization for rules changes that favor our athletes and bring the freestyle rules closer to american folkstyle wrestling (as opposed to the other way around)? It seems like the last set of freestyle scoring changes did this – I’d like to know if USAWrestling had a hand in that and what they’re doing for our wrestlers at the level of the governing body.

Today's science and technology, data science

2019-04-09 Technology No comment

Today’s technology…

Recently, the consumption and innovation of information technology in the world has surged. Everyone, from a child to an 80-year-old man, uses the facilities that technology provides for us. At the same time, population growth has also played an important role in the tremendous growth of information technology. Now, with hundreds of millions of people using this technology, the amount of data must also be large. Ordinary database software like Oracle and SQL is not enough to handle so much data. Therefore, the terms “big data” and “data science” were created. Big data has had a considerable impact on the world, and data science has recently become one of the hottest topics. How are these two related now?

What is data science?

The scientific field combines different scientific methods and methods to study information technology. In a layman language, it is technically the science of studying data. This special field has developed rapidly over the years, and almost every university has professors and students studying and exploring this field.

Why is it so popular?

People always need to record the data people do, which will help predict the future and help to study the evolution of people’s lifestyles. It plays an important role in recording, managing and retrieving this data. There is a need to manage a large number of admitted patients, cars manufactured every day, and predict the weather conditions and future conditions in future years.

What else do you need to know?

From the examples given above, you must be aware that technology is everywhere. Do you know how Netflix knows movies and shows you might like? Well, this is entirely due to data science. It uses machine learning algorithms and methods to understand your requirements and help you stay one step ahead. The languages used in this field are Python, Java, SQL, etc. Before entering the world of data science, it is important that you master a large amount of math and computer science knowledge and these languages. Both can be considered as the basic requirements of the subject.

The demand for data science as a university course has increased, but unfortunately, since this is a very common field, there are no specific courses to follow in this area. Interestingly, data science has been confused with data analysis many times. If you face the same problem, you should know that the basic difference between these two areas is that in data analysis, people study the past of data. In data science, you not only have to study the past, but also study the present and the future. data. Data science is said to be the foundation of artificial learning, and everyone knows how artificial intelligence can bring dramatic entry into our lives.

What smart reversal, although it was difficult to monetize this move as it already opened gap up, and in such situation it becomes extremely tricky to initiate position.

Anyways, recent setup is indicating that bullish momentum will continue in days to come. But, we have to see how Nifty reacts near 6200 levels, above which Nifty will attempt to retest the swing highs, but whether it succeeds or fail is a big question.
