FOR FORTY THOUSAND Col. "Dick" Thompson Sues tha Big New York Bankers, the Seligmans. INVOLVES A DEAL IN STOCKS •Which the Banker* Said TVoulil Be a Good Pi-rmuneiit Investment, but Which Wan No Good—The Jngrnm-Slaiichtor Feud mid K«ccnt Shooting — Mrs. Howurd Identifies the Wrong Mftn'n Kemaiu.s— Unusual Collision on the Kail. Terre Haute, Ind., Oct. 22.—R. W. Thomp.-un, former secretary of the navy, has entered, suit in the United States circuit court at New York to recover $40,000 damages from J. & "W. Seligman, bankers, of that city, for the alleged conversion of ?15,000 worth of stock to their own use to which he says he was the real subscriber. The suit was begun about two weeks ago and an answer is due on or before Nov. 4. In 1SS5 Thompson subscribed $15,000 to the flock ol' the Aztec i.and and Catili- company. The 1 L-: hare was made by the banking firm ir. behalf of the former secretary. A tfleprram from New York quotes Kerry Stligman as saying that the books of the firm showed that the stock is credited to Thompson acd that there was no attempt to deprive him of his just belongings. Colonel Ingersoll represents Thompson in the suit. The allegation is made by the former secreatry that the hanking firm simply tock the $15,000 from him and did not credit him with the purchase of the stock. Found That He Had Xo Certificate. In the complaint fUefl with the clerk of the United States circuit court a.t New York the story is recited that Jesse Seligman went to Colonel Thompson one day in 1SS4. and offered him a permanent Investment that would bring about good results. It was stock in the Azetc Land and Cattle company, which owned immense tracts of land in Arizona and numerous cattle. Thompson agreed to invest $15,000, and accordingly he claims that sum was deducted from his account book with the bank, and he supposed himself to be the owner of 150 shares of the company's stock. After a time Thompson removed from New York to his old home in Indiana. He heard nothing further of his investment, and suddenly awoke to a realization of the fact that he had no stock certificate to show that he had spent $15.000. Therefore he wrote to the Selig- mans. He then learned, so he claims, that all the stock stood In their name, and that, so far as the company's books were concerned, he was unknown. Stock Had >fo Commercial Value. In 1SU4 he wanted $15,000 badly and wrote the banking house that, as he had never had any dividends or any certificate of stock in the cattle company, he would like the money which had been deducted from his bank account. He failed to receive a reply that was satisfactory to him, but after further correspondence was told that, while the bank would not refund the money, it would have 150 shares made out in his name. Thompson unwillingly consented to this, taking the stock at par. Recently, he claims, he looked up the Aztec Land and Cattle company's affairs and discovered that while the company, the land, and the cattle really existed, the utock had no commercial value and was not listed. He communicated with Colonel Ingersoll. who consulted with the Seligmans, but they would make no other settlement than that already made.

English, Ind., Oct. 23.—Another attempt at wrecking a train was prevented late Thursday evening by the discovery of wedge-shaped nones placed on i:ie heavy gra'e west of town. . John Z J eonard, a farmer, who found and removed them, represents that the stones were placed one on each side, at a distance of ten or twelve feet apart.

Indianapolis, Oct. 23.—The Indianapolis and Vincennes had a. wrrrk that occurred in an unusal manner. Near Friendswood the cabin car and three other cars at the end of the first train broke loose and started down the hill. The grade was so steep that the cars -were running thirty miles an hour when they .struck the engine of the second train. The trainmen saw the cars coming and jumped. No one was hurt. Oil Tanks on the Sfonon Explode.. New Albany. Ind., Oct. 23.—Three oil tanks on a Monon freight train exploded near this city yesterday morning. The train was on a down grade and the cars behind the oil tanks were destroyed. The cars in front of the burning tanks were pulled Into New Albany. The cross ties were burned for 30u yards and the rails so warped that traffic was delayed ten hours. None of the trainmen wore hurt. Not Howard's Corpus Delicti. JeffersonvilJe. Ind., Oct. 23— \Vnile Mrs. Joseph Howard, of Washington county, was here preparing to take the supposed remains of her husband home fur interment a letter arrived from him saying that he was in Nashville.

Mr. Withemp is also secretary of the Hall association. The Rebekah branch shows an increase of 27,998 for the past yeaj, with a present membership of 281,041. The cost of maintaining the Odd Fellows' home of Vermont x l»st year was $9,522. As the home has but tiro inniaces, it would seem to be a very expensive way of taking care of their :iged and indigent brothers. Boston, the hub of the universe, is the place where the 1898 session of the sovereign grand lodge is to be held. The price of the official receipts now on hand has been reduced by the sovereign grand lodge to $1.50 per book of 100 receipts. A new Bebekah ritual, to be issued to lodges without coat, and a new official receipt at $1 per 100, is the way the sovereign grand lodge made amends for the work of a year ago. There are 41 lodges of Odd Fellows In Which the Ingraiii-SIansrhter Feud Cropped Out with l^iry. Bedford. Ind., Oct. 23.—The shooting affair in Boone township Thursday was a second outbreak of the Insram- Slaughter feud, which occupied several lays of the September term of court, in ivhieh Ingram claimed damages for a severe beatingr administered by Slaughter. The case was compromised by Slaughter paying Ingram $300 and costs of prosecution. The wounded men are George Slaughter and John Holsapple. The former married a step-daughter of Tile Ingram. Several years ago there was a falling out because of differences over division of property left by the mother of Slaughter's wife. The assault upon Ingram grew out of this trouble. Green Salughter is a half-nephew of George Slaughter, and in September last he married a daughter of Ingram by George Slaughter's mother-in-law, and since hia marriage he has lived with Ingram. Thursday Green Slaughter started on a hunting expedition, armed with his shotgun and revolver, and while pass- Ing through the woods he passed George Slaughter and Holsapple, who were putting up a wire fence. Green Slaughter ficcosted George concerning language understood to have been used with reference to Green's wife, and the men came together. Green claims that George drew Holsapple in front of him. and then struck at him with a hand- axe, wounding him on the back of his hand. Green then used his shotgun, firing at Holsapple. Part of th£ load struck Holsapple in the hips, and the rest took effect in the body and legs of George Slaughter. Both of the injured men fell to the ground, but afterward regained their foot and retreated as best they could, claiming as they did so that Green Slaughter fired five more shots in their direction, this time using his revolver- After the fight Green Slaughterreturned to Ir.gram's home and surrendered himself to the authorities. This is the third murderous affray within a week or ten days in Lawrence county. During the September term Judge Martin sentenced seven criminals to prison and the reformatory. Indulged in YTajf Dispute*. Greensburg-, Ind., Oct. 23.—John L«ogan has been placed under Jl.OOObonds, growing out of an assault on Henry Carter. an old soldier. Som« time ag-o, while Logan and Carter were standing together a colored man passed, whom Carter caluted with a pleasant remark. LoyaD testily commented on Cartel's friendliness for the colored man. finally saying "You are a negro •worshiper." Carter pleasantly replied that he voted that way, and he fought three yean for th« freedom of tilt negro, and he addrt: "I torney McEwen, ex-Judge Vincent and Attorney Phalen had an informal conference lasting- more than one hour in the judge's private chamber yesterday. No agreement aws reached at the conference. State's Attorney Deneen vigorously opposed the demand that the prisoner he released on bail, and the upshot of the argument was that no formal demand for the prisoner's admission to bail was made. Ex-Judge Vincent said he would let the matter rest for two or three days and then make formal application, When the application is made it will probably be by way of habeas corpus before another judge. As to a new trial, it is hardly possible to have it in this county, or any other county nearby. The papers have so fully printed the details of the evidence that it is almost impossible that any or,e who has read them can have failed to form an opinion and a very decided one. George Middletor., the manager of the museum, was in the criminal court building yesterday, and it was said he was ready to schedule $25,000 and to sign Luetgerfs bonds if the noted prisoner would place himself on exhibition at a salary of ?500 per week. Luetgert did not look on the proposition with favor at all. The Weatbor We May E.xpoct. •Washing-ton.

Shortly after we moved to Missouri in 2006, Chris started hauling cattle over-the-road. This meant that he would be gone for one or two weeks at a time. It was a huge adjustment for our family but as we settled in and we began to find ways to keep occupied and entertained. In the summer and on weekends when Chris was gone the kids and I would load up in the car and head out on an "adventure". We became frequent open house visitors and when we could no longer drag Jake to those we started finding more adventurous locations; hiking trails, parks and forts became our escape of choice.
These days, Amannda is living on her own and spottings of her are few and far between. Jake is long past pretending to hunt bad guys in the trees of the local arboretum but he's still up for a little adventure from time to time. Yes, it often includes a little bribe, like the promise of a stop at Quik Trip to grab a slushy but it's a small price for a little time away from devices, video games and TV. Today, due to some bad weather, Jake was dismissed from school early and I desperately wanted to take pictures of something other than my home office, so we decided a short drive through the beautiful snow was in order.
It's obvious that Iowa, or at least this part of Iowa, has not seen large snowfalls in the past few years and not surprisingly some drivers may have forgotten how to handle it and younger drivers simply have not had the privilege of the experience yet. We drove a couple miles behind a girl who was so scared she barely made it up to 10 miles an hour and nearly stopped my heart when she started driving on the wrong side of the road. Thankfully we didn't have to go far before we came across this barn surrounded by what I like to call it's friends and what others lovely refer to as junk. Just off the main highway, these untouched roads looked so serene covered in the light, white blanket of snow. Shifting into four-wheel drive we took our time and took it in, stopping long enough to capture just a few shots of this barn and it's neighbor, a really cool corn bin, on the same property (I'll share that one later).
It was only about an hour but it was the best hour of my day. Getting to photograph barns always lifts me up but spending time chatting with my kiddo, that is priceless.

Schedule and Activities
School Hours
|first bell; pupils line up
|second bell; classes begin
|morning recess
|primary lunch
|intermediate lunch
|afternoon classes end
Parents are requested not to call teachers and students during class time except in case of emergency. Please limit those phone calls to: before 8:40 a.m., 10:15 - 10:30 a.m., 12:00-12:30 p.m., 3:10 p.m. and thereafter.
During rain or extremely cold weather, pupils are allowed to come into the building as soon as they arrive at the school, but are expected to stay in their own classrooms.
Entrance and Exit
- Upon the first bell pupils are to line up immediately at their own classroom doors, and, upon the second bell they must be seated in the classroom seats.
- Upon entering pupils must remove their boots and/or shoes and place these neatly at the back of the room. It is advised that pupils wear indoor shoes or slippers.
- Pupils are to leave the school building directly after dismissal, unless they have permission to stay in.
- Pupils must refrain from excessive noise in the halls; they can be punished accordingly at the teacher's discretion.
Some Student Conduct Policies
- Pupils will wear clothing which is in tune with a Christian lifestyle. This is essentially the concern of the parents. However, if a pupil comes to school wearing clothes which we feel are imprudent, immoral, or unhealthful, the principal will contact the home in order to agree on clothes that are more suitable to the school environment.
- Pupils using the school bus are to conduct themselves in a safe and responsible manner according to the rules which have been set up. Some main points for bus passengers to keep in mind are:
- keep bus clean from litter
- nothing may be thrown out of the window
- pupils must not extend any part of the body out of the window
- emergency exits are to be used only in the event of an emergency
- pupils must sit on their seats; walking is not allowed while the bus is moving.
- excessive noise impairs a bus-driver.
- While these rules are general, the bus-driver may have other rules/reminders for passengers to adhere to. Serious or repetitive cases of misbehaviour may result in the suspension of bus privilege.
- Pupils are advised to have names or initials on all personal articles brought to school.
- Garbage cans are set up outside. Littering is prohibited, be it in the school or on the schoolyard.
- Pupils biking to school must park their bikes in the bicycle rack. Bicycle riding is a privilege which may be taken away if proper rules of safety and conduct are not maintained.
Requirements for Pupils
We believe that we have been created in the image of God, but that, through the fall into sin, we have lost all the excellent gifts. Yet we are accountable for our sins. But God, out of grace, has established His covenant with us through Christ's redemptive work. This applies to the pupils as well. We, as teachers must realize that they, too, are unique and prone to all manner of evil. Both teacher and pupil, acknowledging their sinful nature, may work together joyously in the knowledge that they are working for the coming of the Kingdom. Using the Bible as our guide, we may come to better understand our tasks and responsibilities as stewards of God's "garden". As we equip our pupils, we should also direct them in the use of that equipment.
This implies that we have regard for the individual differences of the pupils to assist them in the acquisition of skills and knowledge required to enable them to function as children of the covenant in today's society. We must promote the willingness and understanding within the pupils so that they come to the independent and conscious use of their talents, skills and knowledge, to the honour and glory of God and to the benefit of their neighbours.
Basic Requirements for Pupils
A pupil shall;
- be diligent in attempting to master such studies as are part of the program in which the pupil is enrolled,
- exercise self- discipline,
- accept such discipline as would be exercised by a kind, firm and judicious parent,
- attend classes punctually and regularly,
- be courteous to fellow pupils and obedient and courteous to teachers,
- be clean in person and habits,
- take such tests and examinations as are required by or under the Act or as may be directed by the Ministry; and
- show respect for school property.
Every pupil is responsible for his or her conduct to the principal,
- on the school premises
- on out-of-school activities that are part of the school program
Suspensions and Expulsions
Suspensions refer to the student being excluded from attendance at school, usually for a period of three days. The decision to suspend is made by the principal after consultation with the teacher and parent concerned. Suspension does not excuse a pupil from homework or assignments given during the period of suspension.
The principal may suspend a pupil because of:
- conduct injurious to the standards of the school
- conduct injurious to the physical or mental well-being of others in the school
- habitual neglect of duty
- willful destruction of school property
- use of profane or foul language
- persistent truancy
- persistent opposition to authority.
Expulsion is the permanent dismissal of a student by the action of the School Board, upon recommendation of the principal and the Education Committee.
In order to keep accurate records and to comply with provincial regulations, the following guidelines have been adopted.
Excused absences include:
- illness
- death in immediate family
- medical or dental appointment
Continual loss of school time through absence is a serious obstacle to academic progress. Parents are expected to encourage their children to attend school regularly and punctually.
Throughout the year cases of sickness arise at school or at home and children need a day or so to regain proper health. Often children are sent to school with a note requesting that they stay in at recess and/or noon hour because they still have a cold or are not feeling all that well. If you feel that your child is not well enough to play outside, please keep him/her home for an extra day or two until he/she can participate in all school activities and will not pass his/her cold or flu on to anyone else. Generally speaking, if a child is well enough to go to school it is well enough to go outside for recesses. Children need periods of fresh air and movement to ensure that they will be able to learn effectively.
Sometimes an injury or a sickness prohibits a pupil from participating in recess and/or physical education activities. If it is requested that a pupil be exempt from such activities for more than three days a medical certificate may be required.
On occasion pupils riding the bus will need to embark or disembark at a different location for varying reasons. Such pupils should forward to the bus-driver a dated and signed note (by parent) indicating the different location of embarking or disembarking. This rule would also apply to those pupils not normally riding the bus but on occasion visit elsewhere. parents of these children must check with the bus driver if there is enough seating capacity to take in extra children.
On occasion, and for varying reasons, a teacher may deem it necessary to keep a child after school. Reasons for detainment could vary:
- disciplinary
- extra-curricular
Once a child is on the school property, it is not to leave the school property without permission from the teacher or a written note from the parent. This is simply a means of protecting your child.
School Closings
On occasion it may happen that there will be no school due to inclement weather, etc. A radio announcement can be heard on CKNW 980 and Praise 106.5 FM. School closures are also posted on the school's website. When early dismissal is necessary, the school will ensure that someone is at home to receive the children. It is important that we have your telephone number, as well as an alternate number, that we can call should an emergency develop.
School Visitors
Visits to the school are welcome. However, visitors are requested, as a matter of courtesy, to obtain permission from the principal prior to visiting.
Change of Address
To avoid confusion and facilitate proper administration parents are requested to inform the School immediately when their address and/or phone number has been changed.
Christmas or Easter Program
is performed alternately each year. The Christmas Program is usually performed on the last day before the Christmas vacation begins, the Easter Program on the last day before the Spring Break. These evening performances are held in the Langley Canadian Reformed Church.
Fine Arts/Variety Night
are held alternately each year in early Spring. Such nights display student talents in various categories and the school community is invited to view and enjoy these talents.
Track and Field Days
are scheduled, locally, for early June, at which time students compete against others in their own age groups. This is a one-day event and spectators are welcome to encourage the competitors. Refreshments and baked goods are provided and volunteers are usually needed to aid in the monitoring of these events.
Intra and Inter-mural Sports
Intra-mural sports refer to those team-sports activities performed "within our own walls". During the winter season teams are organized to compete against each other in sports. Such games could be played 3 or 4 days per week at the noon-hour recess.
Inter-mural sports refers to those athletic activities "among other schools". For the past few years our grade 6 and 7 pupils have competed against other Christian Schools in Track and Field and sporting activities.
Class Trips
are scheduled for the grades 1 - 6 during the latter part of May or early June. Such trips may involve some distance driving and parents are requested to drop their children off at a pre-determined meeting-place. This is usually an all-day affair but still considered an instructional day as bus trips combine entertainment with education. Parental cooperation is vital if bus trips are to be successful. Notices are sent home well in advance of scheduled trips to inform parents of destination, purpose and requirements for trip. The grade 7 students travel to Victoria for a four day trip at the end of the school year.
Field Trips
On occasion a teacher may wish to take his/her pupils on a field trip to enrich their learning experience. The purpose of field trips is to relate the learning that takes place in school to places and things in the community. Some children learn more efficiently than others, but all children will learn more effectively when book learning is closely related to real experiences, such as are provided by field trips and by having people into the school to share experiences with the students. Some field trips may necessitate signed permission notices from parents. These notices may also request parents to inform the teacher of certain medical problems that child may have that should be watched when on the field trip. Supervision on field trips can be a problem because often it is expected to provide one adult supervisor for every 10 students. If you can volunteer your services to help with an excursion, we would appreciate it.
Hot Dog Days/Soup Days
Under the capable administration of the grade seven students school children may enjoy hot dog days / soup days once every other month. These are occasions for the 'senior' students to be of service to their school community and to raise funds for their year-end trip to Victoria.
Graduation Night
is usually scheduled on the evening of the last day of the school year. Graduation exercises are held in the same church building.
There are many school-related activities in which parent volunteers are essential. Such cooperation is known to have positive effect on the tone of the school. We appreciate the fine effort which many volunteers make. Some activities for which parents volunteers are required:
School Nurse
The Central Fraser Valley Health Unit (Langley) provides us with the services of a school nurse. Via her services the Health Unit keeps a medical record on every student, does periodic checks on hearing, vision, and general physical condition. Immunization records are also kept. Parents must provide proof of immunization against six vaccine-preventable diseases: diphtheria, tetanus, polio, measles, mumps, and rubella (German Measles).
On occasion a child may get ill to such an extent that it would be better for him/her to be brought home. Sometimes it may happen that a child has an injury that needs immediate medical attention. In both cases, the school will notify the child's parents to pick the child up. If, however, it is impossible for the parents to pick up the child, the school will make every effort that the child receives the medical attention as soon possible.
Child Abuse
Family and Child Services Act, Section 7 requires teachers to report Child abuse cases to the Ministry of Family and Child Services. CCES has in place a policy and order of procedure as pertaining recognition of abuse, duty to report, and reporting procedures for teachers.
Communicable Diseases
Under the Health Protection and Promotion Act. 1983 it is the principal's responsibility to report children suspected of having a communicable disease to the Health Nurse. If the Health Nurse is not available, the Principal should exclude the child from school and request the child's parents to the have child examined by the family medical doctor or the Health Unit personnel.
Re-admission to school, ideally, should be by certificate of the family physician. For practical reasons this may not always be possible, in which case the principal will use his discretion.

Three years ago I began to experiment with WordPress due to Yahoo buying Tumblr where I had been a long-time blogger. What began as a trial here turned into me moving my whole blogging to WordPress. I have been grateful for all who have followed, commented and checked out my blog over these past three years. As I said in this post I started getting ready for the future and from where I stand my blogging life is so much better here. I have bought into this service in more ways than one. Once again, thanks! (This was my first post from way back then).
I am not a doomsday sort of guy but with Yahoo making significant changes to Tumblr I want to be ready for the future. My "shadow" blog will be at WordPress where there seems to be a creative, connected community already in place. They seem to have a solid platform there too. Once again I will be blogging as usual at Tumblr, I am not going anywhere my friends.

World After World
We were made, once. My twin, Pearl, and me. Or, to be precise, Pearl was formed and I split from her. She embossed herself on the womb; I copied her signature. For eight months we were afloat in amniotic snowfall, two rosy mittens resting on the lining of our mother. I couldn't imagine anything grander than the womb we shared, but after the scaffolds of our brains were ivoried and our spleens were complete, Pearl wanted to see the world beyond us. And so, with newborn pluck, she spat herself out of our mother. Though premature, Pearl was a sophisticated prankster. I assured myself that it was just one of her tricks; she'd be back to laugh at me. But when Pearl failed to return, I lost my breath. Have you ever had to live with the best part of yourself adrift, stationed at some unknowable distance? If so, I am sure you are aware of the dangers of this condition. After my breath left me, my heart followed suit, and my brain ran with an unthinkable fever. In my fetal pinkness, I faced this truth: without her, I would become a split and unworthy thing, a human incapable of love.
That is why I followed my sister's lead and allowed the doctor's hands to tear me out and smack me and hold me to the light. Let us note that I never cried during the ruptures of this unwanted transition. Not even when our parents ignored my wish to be named Pearl too.
I became Stasha instead. And with the chore of birth complete, we entered the world of family and piano and book, of days that baffled by in beauty. We were so alikewe were always dropping marbles from the window onto the paving stones and watching them descend the hill with our binoculars, just to see how far their little lives would take them.
That world, teeming with awe, ended too. Most worlds do. But I must tell you: There was another world we knew. Some say it was the world that made us the most. I want to say that they are wrong, but for now, let me tell you that our entry into this world began in our twelfth year of life, when we were huddled side by side in the back of a cattle car.
During that journey of four days and four nights, we cheated our way into survival under Mama's and Zayde's instruction. For sustenance, we passed an onion back and forth and licked its yellow hide. For entertainment, we played the game Zayde made for us, a game called the Classification of Living Things. In this form of charades, you had to portray a living thing, and the players had to name the species, the genus, the family, and so on, all the way to the encompassing brilliance of a kingdom.
The four of us passed through so many living things in the cattle car; we postured from bear to snail and backit was important, Zayde emphasized in his thirst-cracked voice, that we organize the universe to the best of our too-human abilityand when the cattle car finally came to a stop I stopped my charade too. The way I remember it, I was in the middle of trying to convince Mama that I was an amoeba. It's possible that I was portraying some other living thing and that I am remembering it as an amoeba now only because I felt so small in that moment, so translucent and fragile. I cannot be sure.
Just as I was about to admit defeat, the door to the cattle car rolled open.
And the incoming light was so startling that we dropped our onion on the floor, and it rolled down the ramp, a smelly and halfeaten moon that landed at the feet of a guard. I imagine that his face was full of disgust, but I couldn't see ithe held a kerchief over his nostrils while issuing a series of sneezes, and he stopped sneezing only to hover his boot above our onion and cast an eclipsing shadow over the tiny globe. We watched the onion weep as he crushed it, its tears a bitter pulp. He then resumed his approach, and we scrambled to hide in the shelter of Zayde's voluminous coat. Though we had outgrown Zayde as a hiding place long ago, fear made us smaller, and we contorted within the coat folds beside his dwindled body, leaving our grandfather a lumpy, many-legged figure. In this shelter, we blinked. Then we heard a sounda stomp, a shufflethe guard's boots were immediately before us. "What kind of insect are you?" he asked Zayde, rapping each of the girlish legs that emerged beneath the coat with a walking stick. Our knees smarted. Then the guard struck Zayde's legs too. "Six legs? You are a spider?"

MOSCOW, August 11 (RIA Novosti) — The death of Robin Williams, one of the most celebrated comics and actors in modern history, has drawn the society's attention the stigma of depression as a serious mental illness that has raised suicide rates in developed countries, the US media outlets report.
"Robin Williams was beloved by America, and yet he felt deeply alone. His apparent suicide was likely the culmination of a brutal daily battle with severe depression that he shared with millions," writes Dr. Anand Veeravagu, MD, an American neurosurgeon in his article "Robin Williams' Deadly Depression," published in the Daily Beast.
About 350 million people all over the globe are suffering from depression, according to the World Health Organization, and the rates of the mental illness are rising steadily. The US National Institute of Mental Health states that around 38,000 people commit suicide each year in the United States, and those suffering from mental disorders and depression are at a higher risk.
The symptoms of depression vary from a sad mood, loss of interest, fatigue and apathy to an inappropriate guilt and obsessive thoughts of death. Scientists argue, however, that more factors cause suicide than the depression alone.
"The severity of mood disorders, past suicide attempts and substance abuse are all thought to increase the risk," the Scientific American reports. Experts point to the fact that Robin Williams suffered from substance abuse, struggling with cocaine and alcohol addiction with multiple attempts of rehabilitation. Dr. Anand Veeravagu suggests that Williams' substance abuse could be a clinical display of a deepening mental illness.
"This coincidence of depression and substance abuse is not uncommon," the neurosurgeon notes. According to Dr. Veeravagu, depression is often accompanied by smoking and alcohol use, physical inactivity and sleep disorder. However, alcohol or tobacco addiction should not be considered as the main cause of the mental illness, experts claim.
The exact causes of depression still remain unclear. Scientists claim that the mental illness could be the result of "interacting social, biological and environmental factors." Some experts emphasize socioeconomic causes, such as an economic recession, job loss, growing poverty and inequality, not only in developing but also in flourishing developed countries. Others highlight globalization, growing threat of terrorism and stresses caused by media coverage of global affairs.
However, Jeffrey Borenstein, the president of the Brain and Behavior Research Foundation in New York, claims that depression can hit individuals regardless of whether "they are rich or poor, any ethnic group, any religion."
"We often think of depression in the context of some difficult life event, and sometimes that does happen, but often depression happens without a clear-cut reason," he stated, as cited by the AFP.
Low level of neurotransmitter serotonin – the alleged trigger of depression – can be modified and normalized by the use of an "arsenal of drugs," remarks Dr. Veeravagu. Although the prescribed medicines could efficiently alleviate the symptoms, a patient may face bouts of depression again and again, specialists note.
The neurosurgeon admits that depression is still "one of the most complicated disease processes to date," and that "mental health remains a black box that science and society is only now beginning to expose."
Dr. Veeravagu says that no advanced scanner can show the depth of pain a person suffers, so if anybody you know is struggling with depression, be patient and show compassion to those who carry the heavy burden of this serious mental disease.

The unpopularity of automatic cars is a thing of past. Today, automatic transmissions are as popular as the manual ones. In India the revolution was brought about by automated manual transmission (AMT) cars. What made the AMT popular is its maintenance costs that are similar to the manual transmissions and high fuel efficiency. Most car manufacturers these days use AMT gearboxes. Here are a few details that you need to take care if you are using AMT cars:
What is AMT?
The AMT is not the conventional automatic gearbox; it doesn't work like a CVT or a DSG gearbox. Though technically they are automatic, the AMT system uses the same mechanism of a manual transmission gearbox. Here, only the functioning of the clutch and the gear is automatic. Usually, when the clutch is depressed, the engine is disconnected from the gearbox, thus enabling gear shift. However, in the AMT, the gear is changed according to the RPM; when the RPM climbs to a certain level, the ECU automatically controls the actuators to operate both the clutch and gearbox in synchronisation. So, AMTs do not have a clutch pedal. Compared to automatic transmissions, the AMT has lower production costs and offers better fuel efficiency. Besides, since there is not much of a difference from manual variants, the popularity of AMTs is on the rise.
Take your foot off accelerator
In manual transmission cars, one needs to take the foot off the accelerator to change gear. The same theory can be tried in AMT cars. If the gear needs to be changed (when the gear indication cluster glows), take your foot off the accelerator and the transmission control unit will shift the gear. If you want to downshift, press the brake slightly. This system will result in less energy loss and improve fuel efficiency.
Use hand brake
Usually budget cars are equipped with AMTs. Hence, they may not feature hill hold control and hill descend control systems. Because of this, the car could roll back or forward on hill starts. So, when you start the car after stopping on an incline or a descent, use the hand brake to stop roll back or forward. Of late, several new generation AMT cars come with technologies like hill hold control and hill descent control.
No accelerator in traffic blocks
New generation AMT cars have advanced features compared to their predecessors. For example, the 'creep function' helps the car move at a slow speed in heavy traffic. Take your foot off the brake and the car creeps forward (similar to releasing the clutch). So, in heavy traffic, you just need to take your foot off the brake. This function is a boon in slow-moving traffic.
Be careful while overtaking
It is better to avoid sudden overtaking in AMT cars. That is because, the AMT cars need time to respond and you may not get enough speed to complete the manoeuvre. It is best advised to perform such moves in manual mode.
Best suitable for city
AMT cars are best suited for city commute. While those using the car in flat regions may find it convenient, those living in hilly areas may not.

My first celeb sighting in London. I might not ever top this.We were in Soho tonight because I forced everyone to go there for no other reason then I have only been there once before. As we are leaving the pub, who walks past us with a very cute blonde woman. Steven Merchant. I was psyched. I think I have to listen to the Ricky Gervais podcast again.
Get it here if you haven't heard it the first time. It will not disappoint. Truly one of the funniest things I have ever heard.

How to Use Twitter for Conference, Workshop or Other Meeting
To have the attendees of your meeting live-tweet updates on what's happening at it (thereby marketing the conference or workshop itself), you want to pay attention to 3 things:
1. Infrastructure — Ensure one is set up prior to the event. This means having an account dedicated specifically to the event, a hashtag everyone recognizes + a Twubwouldn't hurt either.
2. Encouragement — Encourage people to tweet (and certainly live-blog) about the event through contests, viral ideas, and simply by setting an example and live-tweetingupdates from the conference and even key points of individual presentations.
3. Rewards — And, finally, you want to reward people for tweeting about your event. These rewards will range from displaying their hashtagged tweets on big screens set up around conference rooms (Affiliate Summits are doing this well) to more tangible prizes (e.g.: tickets to parties, free passes to next conference, etc).
Affilite Summits are generally quite exemplary in the utilization of all three above-quoted points. How is your conference/workshop doing on these?

Laboratory and field testing of various squeeze cementing techniques andmaterials revealed that many improvements could be made in squeeze cementingoperations. The use of a slow-pumping squeeze cementing procedure permitted thecontrol of the quantity of cement displaced into a formation and aided inobtaining a high final squeeze pressure. Field testing indicated thedesirability of obtaining high final squeeze pressures, the need for improvedformation breakdown fluids, and the necessity of controlling the pressuredifferential during testing after a squeeze job.
During the past few years, squeeze cementing operations have beeninvestigated, both from the theoretical as well as the practical point of view,in an effort to arrive at some solution to the many and varied problems thatarise with this type of operation. A review of well files indicated that inmany instances, wells were being squeeze cemented four and five times before asatisfactory pressure buildup was obtained. There seemed to be considerablevariation in opinion as to the proper method of squeeze cementing, as well asdisagreement as to the proper breakdown agent, the quantity of cement thatshould be used, type retainer and length of WOC time that was necessary.Consequently, it was deemed advisable to approach this problem theoretically,field testing each idea developed in hopes of eventually arriving at a squeezecementing procedure that would give reasonable assurance of a successful jobafter one squeeze cementing operation. This investigation was, therefore,divided into two broad headings: (1) Preliminary studies, which include boththeoretical and laboratory studies, and (2) Field investigations to determinethe proper squeeze cementing methods.
Preliminary Studies
Overburden Pressure Studies
Squeeze cementing problems are so intimately related to the earth'soverburden pressure that solutions to them are very difficult, if notimpossible, without an understanding of the nature and magnitude of theoverburden pressures encountered at the depths of producing wells. It was thusfelt that the first approach to research on squeeze cementing should be madethrough a study of these pressures.

How to Replace a Charger Port on a Mobile Phoneby Ezekiel James
Your mobile phone's charging port is the connector on the bottom of your device where your battery charger connects. In some mobile phones, the charger port also doubles as the data port, which lets you transfer data to and from a personal computer. Repeated connecting and disconnecting of your charger can cause your charging port to wear out. In many cases this results in a poor or faulty connection to your phone's charger. Replacing the charging port requires that you completely dismantle the phone.
Step 1
Turn off your phone and place it face down on a flat surface. Remove the back battery cover, then remove the battery from its compartment inside the phone.
Step 2
Remove all screws from the phone's back casing. Most mobile phones are held together with Torx screws, but many phones also use Phillips-head screws. Insert a credit card or similar tool into the gap along the outside edge of the phone's housing. Use the credit card to pry the back housing from the phone.
Step 3
Unplug the ribbon cable extending from the bottom of the phone to the main circuit board. Use the credit card to pry off the charging port's plastic cover.
Step 4
Loosen the screws fastening the charging port in place. Slide the port assembly out of its compartment in the bottom of the phone.
Reverse this procedure to install the new port.

It's important to have a seamless process when you receive a great deal. Great deals don't last long on the market so it's important to know exactly what to do when the right deal hits your inbox.
Read in detail as our team gets a great deal under contract step by step.
Our team is always on the hunt, building relationships with new realtors and wholesalers in the Pittsburgh market. Thanks to our reputation of closing deals, realtors are excited to send us over the best opportunities, because they know we can close quickly, and ultimately get them their commission check.The Counter Offer
This 5-unit building was sent to us by one of the newest realtors on our team. The property was originally listed for 140k when sent it over to our MAP Team. Once entered in our deal analyzer, the numbers made perfect sense at this price, but it's good practice to always negotiate the original listing price. We sent our agent the below counter offer in our Letter of Intent (LOI).
Key items in the counter offer:
- Purchase Price: $120,000
- Earnest Money: $2,000
- Seller Financing: $12,000 (10% of the Purchase Price)
We always attempt to negotiate seller financing. Our goal is to negotiate 10% seller financing on the down payment to avoid our clients bringing the full 20% down most lenders require. This will cut the amount in half that our clients are required to bring to the table to close, which is a big deal.
Once we sent the counter offer to our realtor, she quickly called us and expressed that she was unfamiliar with what seller financing was. It's not uncommon to run into a realtor who does not understand what seller financing is and how it works. Remember, your realtor is representing you when talking to other agents and sellers, so it's important that they are sold on seller financing to increase the likelihood of them securing it. We fully on-boarded our agent on what seller financing is and how it will benefit them! Remember, when persuading an agent or anyone else on what you want them to do, make sure you include how this will benefit them.
After 72 hours, we received the counter offer from the seller. The seller countered with the following:
- Purchase Price: $125,000
- Seller Financing: $0
Run the Numbers
It's important to always check the numbers in a deal analyzer prior to accepting any offers, and that's exactly what we did. Before moving forward with any deal, we always examine 3 key performance metrics: Cash-on-Cash Return, Cash Flow and Built-in Equity. After running the numbers, here is what we came up with in regards to those 3 metrics:
- Cashflow: $520.08
- Cash-on-Cash Return: 15%
- Built-in Equity: 11.7%
Once we verified that the deal was in line with our metrics, we quickly gave our realtor the thumbs up to draft the Purchase and Sale Agreement to lock the deal under contract. The biggest mistake new investors make is to over think the deal. Don't worry about the property condition or other things that you will inspect in your due diligence. Remember, TRUST then verify is what you should live by. We trust the numbers, but in our due diligence period, we will always verify the property is what they say it is. A realtor likes to work with a decisive investor who knows what he or she wants, not the investor who asks 1,000 questions before he or she finally feels comfortable.
Based on the Cash Flow Cycle, we know that there are 4-steps to closing a deal:
1. Find the Money
2. Find the Deal
3. Due Diligence
4. Acquisition and Property Management
The next step to perform on this deal is due diligence, where we will dig deeper into the financial and physical analysis. If everything checks out, we will have another deal in the books.

The Vice President of India, Shri M. Venkaiah Naidu has advised the Foreign Correspondents to not to depend on what appears in our hyper critical English media and form opinions. He was addressing the gathering at the 60th anniversary of The Foreign Correspondents' Club of South Asia, here today.
The Vice President said that Foreign Correspondents must be well acquainted with that particular country's culture, history, ethos, traditions and the ways of living of its people, before covering developments or any events in a country. He further said that the entire country cannot be described as intolerant on the basis of some stray incidents of communal violence. If a handful of religious fundamentalists indulge in violence, the entire country cannot be described as intolerant and that majoritarianism is being imposed, he added.
The Vice President said that understanding a flourishing and vibrant Parliamentary democracy like India, with free press and complete religious freedom to its people is a bit challenging for outsiders. He has asked external media agencies working in India to understand India by Travelling in the region and meeting people. One should not depend on what appears in our hyper critical English media and form opinions, he added.
Following is the text of Vice President's address:
"I am extremely delighted to be with you on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of The Foreign Correspondents' Club of South Asia.
I am told that this organization was established in 1958 by a handful of foreign correspondents based in India. Today, it has grown into an active and vibrant club of more than 700 foreign and Indian journalists covering South Asia. The fact that the membership has grown from a handful to 700 underscores the important role India is playing in South Asia and in world affairs.
As you all are aware, ours is one of the oldest multi-cultural, multi-religious, multi-linguistic societies with a rich tradition of accepting and assimilating every culture and custom. Today, India is a melting pot of different cultures, religions and languages with people from diverse backgrounds co-existing Peacefully.
As foreign correspondents, each of you has an onerous task on your hands. Firstly, before covering developments or any events in a country, you must be well acquainted with that particular country's culture, history, ethos, traditions and the ways of living of its people. You might face quite a few culture shocks during your stint as you process events and experiences around you.
Truth and objectivity will become casualties if you cover any happening or development from a purely subjective perspective rather than looking at it from a broader cultural, historical, social and economic context in which it is taking place. I am not in any manner suggesting that as seasoned professionals you are not aware of this basic journalistic tenet. But many a time for a variety of reasons, including paucity of time, all the elements that fully connect a story might be missing.
Contextualization becomes all the more important when a journalist from a developed nation is reporting on the affairs of a developing country. Your 'text' will be richer if you can get the 'context' right.
For instance, the stride made by India's space programme is something spectacular, given the constraints of resources and Technology when compared to a developed nation. India sent a rover to Mars at almost one-ninth the cost of a similar mission of an advanced nation. Though it received coverage abroad, a reputed foreign daily published a cartoon lampooning the success. It had to apologize after readers expressed their outrage at the cartoon.
Another aspect that is of relevance to all and needs a wider debate is about the variation in the reportage on terrorist violence. A terrorist is a terrorist irrespective of whether he kills innocents in Kashmir or Kentucky. But surprisingly some media organizations describe those indulging in terrorism in Kashmir as separatists or militants, while any similar incident in the West is immediately dubbed as a terror attack and the perpetrators as terrorists.
Generally, the charge of people from many Developing Countries, including India is that the foreign media projects only the negative news and deliberately ignores anything positive. I have already cited the example of Indian space programme. Well you might say good news is no news, but it cannot be bad news all the time either. As you are well aware, it is always better to avoid the pitfalls of stereotyping and magnifying only the negative realities.
Of course everyone carries his own baggage of perceptions and views. "What we see and report can never be fully objective but it is always good to be mindful of our limitations. One will gain credibility if distortions are avoided and different voices are captured in a balanced manner.
In a vast country like India, some stray incidents of communal violence might occur. At Best, those are aberrations. If a handful of religious fundamentalists indulge in violence, the entire country cannot be described as intolerant and that majoritarianism is being imposed. Nothing is farther from the truth. India is a flourishing and vibrant Parliamentary democracy with a free press and complete religious freedom to its people.
Today, India is on the move. India has been the world's fastest growing large Economy for several years now. We hope to maintain and improve on our growth rate in coming years to improve the quality of life for our 1.35 billion people and eradicate poverty. It is, no doubt, a challenging task in a country like India, where people speak 122 languages and 1,599 dialects, and where every fifth person is illiterate.
What is fascinating, however, is that while newspapers are shutting down elsewhere, they are doing quite well in India. We have a vibrant press. There are over 1,14,000 publications in India today, and their circulation is a staggering 488 million!
And the World's Largest circulated English language newspaper happens to be an Indian daily. With literacy increasing year after year, more and more new newspapers are being published. Last year alone, 4,000 new publications were born.
Over a billion Indians now have mobile phones. Five hundred million Indians are using the internet. There are 1,600 satellite channels; more than 400 of them are news channels. And India makes some 1,500 Films every year in 30 languages. Indian films are becoming increasingly popular abroad, not just in countries where South Asian diaspora is substantial, but even in countries like China. Films like Dangal and Bahubali have made more money in China than in India itself!
FCC members represent the world's leading newspapers, news agencies, magazines, radio and television networks. Based in New Delhi, you Travel all over India and South Asia and report to the world what is happening in this part of the globe. And it is on the basis of what you write and broadcast that millions of your readers, listeners and viewers form their opinions about India and its neighborhood. In other words, you are the world's eyes and ears, and the world depends on you to know what is happening in South Asia.
So, I am sure you must be finding it a bit of a challenge to understand a vast country like India and explain it to your readers, listeners and viewers across the globe. Quite a few of you make an effort to understand India and South Asia by Travelling in the region and meeting people, while many of you tend to depend on what appears in our hyper critical English media and form opinions.
In this Digital Era when one can get to know what is happening around the globe with a click of the mouse, it is all the more important for foreign correspondents to provide nuanced, balanced and objective coverage.
I would urge you, and encourage you to go around our region, meet people, see things for yourselves and present a true picture of India and South Asia to the world.
Ancient Indian writer, Mammata had explained the purpose underlying his writings. He had said that he writes to earn fame, make a living but more importantly to reduce the negative trends in society that impede progress. May be this can serve as an inspiration to all of us who are in the business of using the media to change the world. Let us try to mirror the world to change it for better.
We are proud that several hundred leading media organisations have set up their regional headquarters here in India. Whatever is published or broadcast about India and South Asia globally will have been put out by one of you!
Last October, the BBC launched its services in four more Indian languages. Today, the BBC broadcasts in eight Indian languages, and its bureau in New Delhi is the biggest outside its home country, the UK.
I am also happy to know that your club has been hosting press conferences with dignitaries from India and abroad, conducting discussions on latest books, and arranging cultural events to promote a better understanding of India and our neighbors.
On this happy occasion of the FCC's 60th anniversary, my greetings to you all.
Jai Hind!"

The Presidente flowed as Chef John Critchley laid the culinary smackdown on Giancarla Bodoni for the 2009 Iron Fork title. Critchley is on a winning streak, with his seafood-celebrating Area 31 having been recently named one of Esquire magazine's best new restaurants this year.
Our focus, however, was the side show -- edible offerings of 40 South Florida restaurants through which crowds mowed. Here are some highlights:
- Whisk's fall-off-the-bone pork with golden honey cider barbecue sauce on a bed of slaw with cornbread cube was a balanced bite. Rumor has it brother-sister owners, Brendan and Kristin Connor, are scouting for bigger digs, still in Coral Gables. We approve, as long as they find a way to maintain the restaurant's intimate charm.
- Urbanite Bistro's bite of deer was upstaged by its tuna, masago, and
seaweed salad on crisp, asymmetrical wonton shards, both in presentation and flavor. This seconds-worthy bite was enough to encourage us to plan a visit to its Wynwood home.
- It was a pleasure to catch up with chef Sean Brasel, who manned his Meat Market booth with class and panache, serving up tender slices of perfectly cooked skirt steak on a bed of frisée. Brasel will joing chefs Clay Conley, Michael Bloise, and Michael Schwartz at the January 10 Dinner in Paradise at Paradise Farms in Homestead.
- Managing the sweetness of tropical fruit-based sauces is no easy feat, so we were impressed by MiMo's Le Café and its nuggets of a halibut-style fish lightly dressed in mango.
- Gimme some more goat! South Beach Haitian mainstay Tap Tap might have scored our favorite dish of the night with its spicy goat, served with a smile by general manager Gary Sanon-Jules. Its finger-licking bone-on bites left lips tingling from a habanero-laced vinegar sauce.
- Gordon Biersch showed up on its best behavior, labeling its Kobe burgers "American." What a difference some newsprint makes.

Linda McShannock, objects curator, recently brought to the Acquisitions Committee a Redwork embroidered bed cover which was subsequently added to the Society's Collection. Redwork is an embroidery style prominent in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and is currently experiencing a resurgence of interest.
This is a signature spread made by the "Busy Bees" of Shevlin, Minnesota in 1908. Each block was individually made and contains a different motif surrounded by family names. The designs are a sampling of embroidery motifs readily available and often used for tea towels, aprons or dresser scarves. Before acquiring this spread, the Collection contained only a small sample of Redwork, mostly towels; this is unusual and exciting because of its size and provenance. The quilt came from the Olaf Olson family of Shevlin. Often signature quilts were made for a fundraising purpose within the community, we may not know why the "Busy Bees" made this spread, but their embroidery preserves a moment in Shevlin's history.


text: There is poetry unheard, a life song never sung a beautiful music without benefit of words. Nothing written only whispered by the Muse who lives within. Do not hurry through the days nor let the world of noise drown out that gentle voice. Do not slumber in the night devoid the dreams where visions fear to dwell. Stop! I pray you…… Listen to the whispers and record for no other time exists but now. In the solitude of one in where the Poet in us thrives where the rhyrhm of this Heart beat counts the cadence of what life song yet unsung. Close Your eyes and You will see the Beauty that resides whithin the soul of the Poet unresolved. Can You heard it? It is the Poetry of Love,unheard come from words whitin the Heart of such as You and I.

Malcolm Mitchell
On Thursday, the New England Patriots officially extended the contract of wide receiver Julian Edelman. The nine-year veteran received a two-year, $11 million dollar deal with $9 million in guarantees, per Mike Garafolo of NFL Network. This season was the last of his current contract. Edelman would've been a free agent next offseason and possibly could have been able to earn more money on the open market.
Deal. Done.
The @Patriots and @Edelman11 agree to a multi-year contract. More from @MikeGarafolo. pic.twitter.com/QwAUNEcrC2
— NFL Network (@nflnetwork) June 8, 2017
Adding to @RapSheet on Edelman: $5m signing bonus and $4m in reachable incentives. So two years, $15m max.
— Mike Garafolo (@MikeGarafolo) June 8, 2017
The Patriots are loading up at wide receiver for another Super Bowl run. Add Edelman, 31, to new addition Brandin Cooks, Malcolm Mitchell, Chris Hogan and Danny Amendola and Tom Brady will have no shortage of playmakers out wide. By the way, Rob Gronkowski is fully healthy and participating in all team workouts.
The Evil Empire of the NFL is only getting better….
The Greg One
Dane Brugler, NFLDraftScout.com Senior Analyst, is one of my favorite draft prognosticators in the business. He does a solid job of analyzing prospects, giving his full opinion regardless of what those around him believe to be to the contrary.
On Monday, Brugler released a full seven-round mock draft.
You can find the article here.
When looking at his selections for the Chargers, one can get excited at the prospect of adding such quality players.
Below you'll find Brugler's draft choices for the Bolts, and his thoughts on their first three selections.
1 (3) – Laremy Tunsil, OT, Ole Miss
2 (35) – Ryan Kelly, OC, Alabama
3 (66) – Darian Thompson, S, Boise State
4 (102) – Nick Vannett, TE, Ohio State
5 (175) – Malcolm Mitchell, WR, Georgia
6 (179) – Vincent Valentine, DT, Nebraska
6 (198) – Eric Striker, LB, Oklahoma
7 (224) – LeShaun Sims, CB, Southern Utah
3. San Diego Chargers
|Laremy Tunsil, OT, Ole Miss: With Tunsil available, the Chargers have a choice to either help stabilize their offensive line or go after a stud on defense. With Philip Rivers in the final years of his career, San Diego needs to protect him at all costs.
35. San Diego Chargers
|Ryan Kelly, OC, Alabama: A glaring hole on the roster, Kelly would be a day one starter capable to opening run lanes inside.
66. San Diego Chargers
|Darian Thompson, S, Boise State: With Eric Weddle in Baltimore, San Diego needs to add depth at safety and develop a future starter.
The additions of Tunsil and Kelly in the first and second rounds, respectively, would show that the Chargers are done messing around with the revolving door that has become the team's offensive line. Both players are considered to be the best at their positions, and Tunsil is said to be the best prospect in the entire draft class by many evaluators.
The third-round selection of Thompson would do just as Brugler suggests, providing depth at safety and giving the team an option for a future starter at safety.
After the Bolts watched Ladarius Green leave for Pittsburgh via free agency, the tight end group is a bit of an unknown. Though the team has All-World tight end Antonio Gates, the former undrafted free agent is not getting any younger. The signing of veteran Jeff Cumberland to the position group is clearly not a long-term solution.
With the selection of tight end Nick Vannett, formerly of Ohio State, the Chargers could add their tight end of the future. Vannett has good size and was underused in college. Although his not overly physical as a blocker, he does provide the ability to become a solid pass-catching tight end in the San Diego offense.
Rounding out his draft on behalf of the Bolts, Brugler gives the team four players that can give the team depth and special teams players.
Malcolm Mitchell would come in as an unheralded wideout worthy of attention. He was a five-star recruit coming out of high school, but multiple knee injuries derailed his collegiate career, to a degree. On a positive note, Mitchell can flat-out fly, running in the 4.4s in the 40-yard dash.
Striker of Oklahoma is listed as an outside linebacker, but teams have been working him out as a safety in addition to 'backer drills. He would become a special teamer as a rookie, working toward getting playing time on defense further down the road in his career.
Overall, I love the idea of beefing up the offensive line via the additions of Tunsil and Kelly. That being said, in Brugler's mock, defensive back Jalen Ramsey was available for the taking at the No. 3 spot (Any of you who visit this site know of the "draft crush" I have on Ramsey).
Should the draft for the Chargers play out the way that Brugler suggests it will, Bolts fans should be very happy with their draft haul.
Thanks a lot for reading.
