A robot is a machine that is capable of autonomously completing tasks. Depending upon the robot, these tasks may be simple or complex and may require little human intervention or complete oversight.
In the Fallout universe, robots had been constructed for many purposes, and many examples survived long enough to be a factor in the Fallout world.
Some of the robots in the Fallout universe will attack on first glance but most of the robots will just aid you in battle and come across friendly.
Robots had been constructed by pre-War society to fill all niches and occupations. From general-purpose utility droids to full-fledged military battle machines, robots could be found in almost any environment and function.
At the time of the Great War, robots were just making their appearance in the average suburban household, but the military still had the largest number of active robots. The robots that are still running are found in isolated former military bases or ones that have been restored by settlements with the sophisticated technology needed to keep them running.[1]
Typically, robots are equipped with a basic programming structure that dictates behavior and priorities. In most cases, these rules are effectively set in stone, and there's little the player can do to influence them. However, robots can also develop personalities. Whether this is an intended feature present from manufacturing or the cumulative result of centuries of poorly-attended operation is unclear. Some robots, such as the Nuka-Cola shipping foreman appear to have rather harsh personalities present from their first days of activation, while others, such as the protectron series seem to have little personality at all. At times, this personality seems to operate at odds with the fundamental core programming of the robot.
Notable examples of this discontent include Cerberus, the Mister Gutsy robotic soldier that patrols Underworld. Despite programming to protect the ghouls of the city, Cerberus nevertheless admits quite freely that it detests the ghouls and, were it not for his combat inhibitor, would likely kill them all. Sawbones, resident medic at the Citadel, has an unhealthy interest in pain driven by his personality, while his programming states he is a medic. Many robobrains, when fighting will say things like "They could have programmed me to love, to forgive; but noooooo.", or "Please believe me when I say I'm not enjoying this.". Robots can even exhibit finicky personalities, one such Mister Gutsy Sergeant RL-3 will exhibit distaste in anyone without neutral Karma.
Even robotic butlers show contrary streaks, although these aberrations are less likely to cause grievous bodily injury. The butler present in the player's home in Fallout 3 is often overheard saying with a cheery voice "How can I serve you master?" while muttering, "Not that I really want to..." a little while after.
Robots are often pressed into emergency duty outside their normal menu of skills, although this meets with varying degrees of success. A general-maintenance Mister Handy will likely make a poor medic.
It may also be noted that without proper supervision, robots may handle situations rather extremely. Metro protectron will kill an unarmed person if they do not have a ticket, on top of this they do not accept red pass or blue passcards, meaning someone traveling on these lines may be attacked even with proper authorization. Another note is that the Factory protectron mentioned on a computer terminal in The Pitt killed all the workers when they refused to leave the mill and their jobs. Also, Milo the shipping foreman, a type II Mister Handy robot, had trapped a group of employees in a locked closet to die, and for very minor infractions (taking a longer lunch break, for example). With this in mind it can be safe to say that robots of the Fallout universe do not follow Asimov's three laws of robotics, or if they do very loosely. It would seem that east coast robots have a naturally adverse attitude towards humans, or animated things in general- living or robotic, as all the robots feature a combat "inhibitor" meaning that the robots all exhibit an uncontrollable urge to kill, without the inhibitor anyway.
Dealing with robots
While some robots in the Fallout universe are peaceful, most are following centuries-old programming—or newer programming—that classifies the player as a threat. To that end, effective anti-robot combat strategies are a must.
Most robots are highly resistant to damage from conventional weapons. Bullets do not generally affect robots as severely as they do their organic masters, and militarized robots can generally shrug off grenade shrapnel. However, like all electronics, robots are vulnerable to the effects of an EMP, making pulse weapons the ideal choice for disabling a robotic enemy.
Pulse grenades, pulse mines, and 12 gauge EMP shells are ideal for disabling a robot quickly, and though these munitions are typically expensive, they are much more efficient in a cost-for-effect frame of mind. Explosive weapons like missile launchers or miniature nuclear weapons are effective, but more costly to use against robots.
Players with sufficient Repair skills, or certain perks can disable inattentive robots, while players with sufficient Science skills can often find control terminals that can shut down or reconfigure patrolling mechanical guards.

Migrants are disproportionately affected by HIV and AIDS in high-income countries, says IOM as it marks World AIDS Day.
This year's UNAIDS Report on the global AIDS epidemic demonstrates that for the first time in the history of AIDS, an end to the epidemic is on the horizon and the rates of new infections in traditionally high-burden countries are going down. But many challenges remain. For example, in high-income countries in North America and Europe, the total number of people living with HIV has actually increased in the last ten years.
Migrants and mobile populations are at particularly high risk of HIV infection all over the world, as they frequently face marginalization, exclusion and various barriers to accessing health promotion and care. In addition, there is also a lack of awareness of migrants' vulnerability to HIV in high-income countries, where migrants – especially those originating from high endemic countries – are disproportionally affected by HIV compared to the general population.
On average in the European Union (EU) / European Economic Area (EEA), over one-third of all HIV infections acquired through heterosexual transmission are among people who migrated to the region from a country with a generalized HIV epidemic.

Lovely place, facilities were clean and just right for us, we wanted a quiet place. Our 2 kids 6 and 8 loved the playground, climbing wall and playing field and made friends with others. St David's was beautiful and a great supermarket shop. Coastal path walks were beautiful.Rebecca French
Gem of a site in beautiful surroundings. The staff were amazing Di friendly and accommodating making sure that we had everything we needed.
Having taken over the site recently they are looking at some renovations and things they can add to the experience.
We will definitely be back. Thank you for a wonderful stay
We stayed for Easter weekend, and we had a lovely time. The kids were happy so we were happy! The Easter egg hunt put on for the kids was a lovely touch as well. The worst part of going in the caravan for me is having to go to use the shower, but the showers at Tretio were lovely and hot and they were spotless! We will definitely be going back.
We loved the campsite. It was very clean and tidy and the owners were lovely. We loved how quite is was and something we all need for a break. Would definitely go back and hope to sort out our next holiday soon.
what an excellent site, staff so friendly and welcoming, toilet and ea spotless
location wonderful
will stay there again
We had a lovely stay at Tretio. The wardens are very friendly, helpful and thoughtful. We will definitely go back there later in the year.
Tretio was fantastic. We stayed in a static van and It was clean as can be. The general park facilities were clean and the place is really well thought out. Nothing would be too much trouble for your hosts Jan and Will. The park is an ideal place if you're looking for a non commercial site.
We have been visiting St Davids area for over 50 years and return to the peace and wonderful coast as often as we are able. We now have a camper van which means we can roam when we are able' Tretio is one of the best sites we have stayed on and will continue to use it when ever we are in the area. Staff are friendly and the facilities are spotless.
Clean static caravan, nice location and area
We stayed two nights at tretio park, can't say anything bad, staff was overly helpful and facilities were super clean!
Fabulous weekend at Tretio. We were all made to feel very welcome, the wardens could not do enough for us. Jan came round every morning to say hello and check everything was ok. We will be back again next year.
We were warmly welcomed by Jan when we arrived. The pitch selection whilst booking online was brilliant and pitches were great, the site was clean and very friendly. our children played happily and made friends easily (it felt like something out of the famous five to be honest) an idyllic setting for one of our most favourite camping trips.
Lovely clean site , very helpful and friendly staff.deffinately stay here again . Close to whitesands blue flag beach and st David's. Had a Brilliant half day out with Celtic quest coasteering at abberiddi and blue lagoon whilst staying here
We had a lovely stay at Tretio. The wardens are very friendly, helpful and thoughtful. We will definitely go back there later in the year.
We were very happy with our experience at Tretio. The caretakers went above what was expected in regards to helping with bus details into town. We would definitely stay here again.
This is a quiet and safe site. Very child friendly and great for couples as well. Amazing walks around the area. Highly recommend it and we will definitely be going back
Small but tidy and friendly. Slight incline for campers. Staff very helpful when needed.
Great people very helpful and went over and above knowing we had a long way to come to get to them and made it possible to park up even after midnight .. overall fantastic place to stay and omg the showers are fantastic
Enjoyed every moment. Tretio is a lovely site with the added bonus of being dog friendly. Just one dog friendly static van available sadly as this is an ideal part of the world for dog owning folk to enjoy at any time of year. The welcome from the staff was fantastic and nothing was too much trouble, this made us feel comfortable and relaxed from the second we arrived. Everything was neat, bright and spotlessly clean. We enjoyed our stay and look forward to a return visit to see some more of what this area has to offer.
Couldn't get the stars to work on my phone but would have put 5s for everything. Beautiful well appointed site, immaculately maintained. Warden couldn't have been more helpful. We loved it and we'll be back.
Couldn't really fault anything, great location, great owners. Highly recommended
Love this site and its owners. Always made to feel very welcome.
This was our 4th visit to tretio in 6 years. Nothing has really changed except management which is still very good.
The addition of a visiting pizza oven van was nice.
Only negative is the 10am vacate time on departure day.
Even on a sunny day this is unrealistic. We are seasoned campers and very organised, and it was still nearer 12 leaving.
Would recommend and have in the past.
Great site, with clean facilities and friendly staff. Loved the music night. Can't fault the park at all. The only reason we wouldn't stay again is because it was quite remote. Due to the bad weather we had, we visited a lot of attractions I.e. folly farm to keep the children occupied as they couldn't play outside, and this meant an hours drive most days.
Lovely site nice friendly wardens who make you feel very welcome and are very helpful. We will be going back again next year for the third time.
All the basic facilities were available and alway in a ready to use state. Staff were really friendly and knowledgeable of the area. They pointed us a a number of good beaches which were child friendly.
Couldn't really fault anything, great location, great owners. Highly recommended
Clean well maintained, lovely views and the staff were really friendly
Site is located in an amazing part of Pembrokeshire with great beaches very near by, the superb small city of st David's is just a couple of miles down the road where there is plenty of shops, pubs, restaurants and boat trips etc. The staff on the campsite were absolutely brilliant very friendly and nothing was too much bother for them I would definitely recommend a stay here to anyone from young or elderly couples to family's
Lovely site good position to visit local highlights,staff excellent very helpful. Facilities basic but clean .
Brilliant campsite, superb location, friendly owners, great facilities - can't go wrong.
Excellent for kids (pitch and putt/climbing wall/football area and climbing frame and slide) and pets. Managers Jan and Will really friendly and very helpful with regards to the area. The site and facilities are very good, and the music entertainment was good too. The Blue Lagoon is 5 minutes away and coast-steering takes place there. The Sloop and The Shed are in a lovely setting.
Tretio campsite was wonderful! Jan & Will were so friendly and helpful, going above and beyond to assist us. The boys (11+16yrs) loved the pitch + putt, plus the open playing field for kites, football etc. Noise levels were zero after 11pm which was impressive! Free showers, and considering the number of people there, no queuing either. Nice size pitch and others camping there very welcoming too.
Lovely campsite, fantastic location with really nice, helpful staff
Felt safe and secure with the children as they had a separate field to play in that was enclosed.
Stayed here again for Borderfest 2018. Great location, staff go out of their way for you, super friendly site.
Amazing quality and amazing people around. Would definitely recommend!
Excellent stay at Tretio near St David's, site would benefit from addition water supply points and drainage in the fields for tourers, this would make it a 5 star site. Lovely location with extremely friendly and helpful staff.
We stayed for a weekend in June and we all very much enjoyed. The campsite was very clean and we stayed right by the shower block which was easy with children. The site was a little difficult to find as our satnav took us somewhere different.
In terms of the childrens park area,it does need updating, however children enjoye the climbing frame and football field.
The campsite was very quiet and with only three other tents on site.
Would come back and stay. Staff were friendly and very helpful x
We stayed at the campsite with our young children. We had a fabulous time, with great beaches in the surrounding area.
The on-site laundry, fridge and freezer and kettle were an unexpected bonus for our holiday and made such a difference!
Loved this site, looking forward to visiting again.
Good all round site. Good rules for noise in the evening. Good play park for up to about 12 yrs but not much for the older children. However, a good football/play pitch for children to play. Most children do mix so it can be reasonably sociable.
My partner and I were very happy with this campsite. While we were worried on the way out there about how isolated it seemed to be it was more than close enough to all the places we wanted to go and the campsite itself had lots of activities.
The facilities were all very clean and the staff were great. The atmosphere was really friendly too and we would definitely stay again!
Brilliant holiday, lovely site and immaculate static van
We stayed at Tretio for a week in 23 Moo Meadow. The caravan was spacious, very clean and staff welcoming. Everything you could possibly need was in the caravan and more. Very informative.
Had a lovely time camping at Tretio camp site where you don't feel over crowded by other campers. Very clean and good facilities which were not over run, hot water anytime of the day with good water pressure. Felt safe with the kids playing at the park and only a short drive to St Davids where you can get a great ice cream !
Would definitely come back here again !
This site was just perfect in every way and I can't recommend it enough. We absolutely loved the football field, pitch and putt and park area. The live entertainment was amazing. Jan and Will could not do enough for us, especially in the heavy winds. They are the most perfect park wardens.
The site was immaculately kept and we will certainly be back next year.
I stayed for a week with my family (partner + 2 children) and we had a lovely week. The caravan was immaculate and although the electricity tripped out regularly when we used the kettle, it was easy to resolve and wasn't a problem. The site is lovely and our children loved playing golf on the field. The weather wasn't kind to us but we used the veranda and BBQ when we could. The site owners were welcoming and helpful, present throughout our week at tretio.
Would highly recommend Tretio (and St. David's) to anyone!
We all noticed how friendly other campers were , people would be ready to chat about their stay , would smile in passing . The staff are extremely helpful and walk around asking if u had everything you needed . If not they were there to help .
Gem of a site in beautiful surroundings. The staff were amazing Di friendly and accommodating making sure that we had everything we needed.
Having taken over the site recently they are looking at some renovations and things they can add to the experience.
We will definitely be back. Thank you for a wonderful stay
Brilliant facilities, caravans and tents, playground, big pitches, playing field, golf area is a great fun!
Most importantly the friendliest and most helpful staff!
We have now decided to make this site our Pembrokeshire base.
We loved it so much we booked for next year before we left. Our nine year old loved playing with the other children on the campsite. This was helped by the great facilities for children onsite.
The campsite manager was lovely and very helpful.
The laundry room/kitchen was very useful. No queuing for showers or washing up.
All clean and cared for.
We are really glad we found this site.
I've visited many many sites in my time and was open minded about visiting Tretio. It had great Facebook reviews so I thought I'd take my touring caravan down to Pembrokeshire.
Well, what a find! Just a few miles outside the city of St David's lies one of the most tranquil places ivecever visited. The site managers Will & Jan were very welcoming and keen to point outvtye best of the local places to visit such as Porth Gain and lots of others.
I visited outside school holidays so there were no children around but the facilities available to them would keep them off their devices for hours.
The site is immaculate and plain to see that Will & Jan take pride in what they do. Top marks to them.
If you do need to stay in touch with the outside world the Wi-Fi provided excellent coverage.
The acid test ... would I go back. Yes of course and am already looking forward to 2019.
Great site convenient for walking the coast path and close to St David's. Lovely wardens, friendly welcome with lots of local information. Quiet when we stayed towards the end of the season (October) but would be quite busy in the summer. Good, adequate facilities but there are plans to refurbish them over the winter.

We can confirm Knicks sensation Jeremy Lin wasn't with Kobe shooting in the gym, either. Because some reporters asked Kobe—whose Lakers will play the Knicks tonight—what he thought of Linsanity, and he had no idea:
"What? No idea," Bryant said last night after the Lakers' 88-87 overtime win over the Celtics. "I know who he is but I don't really know what's going on too much with them."
Pressed further, Bryant said, "I don't even know what he's done. Like, I have no idea what you guys are talking about. I'll take a look at [the tape] tonight though."
It could be that the shortened NBA season is filled with so many games and so much travel that players don't have time to check up on their competition. Or it could be that Kobe Bryant is disrespecting Jeremy Lin.
All Bryant could do was laugh when asked if he would cover Lin if need be—"I appreciate the question, though," he said before walking off to the shower.
Yeah, it's disrespect.
Lin doesn't faze Kobe [New York Post]

Random battles are random.... so you get random players, random comps, and random maps. It shows skill to be able to adapt and change your playstyle to respond to the variances and how the battle develops.
Roflstomps are the result of losing a tank and not being able to pull back from it. It takes some skill to turn the tide around and pull out a win. Having 10 tanks means that a larger percentage of combat capability is lost when someone suicides, bots, or simply goes AFK, it would make it harder to pull back from a loss making it harder to prevent roflstomps.

And you notice I'm not crying about it like a baby, my wn8 is holding steady and in the long run it'll all wash out and I'll stay right around 53-54%, and you .... well, you got some work to put in.

Look at my 30 day stats Coco!!!
I love the new MatchMaker!!!!
Or, maybe I should thank my lucky stars and pad my stats by never clicking the "Battle' button again

You have always had lots of battles like that, because this is a single-death-per-battle game. If you didn't realize that you've always had a lot of them the only issue was that you weren't noticing how the game plays and now you are. There is nothing new or unusual about one-sided wins or losses, they are not cause by the MM, they are caused by this being a single-death-per-battle game, just like in every other SDPB game.

The recent change to the MM had nothing to do with anyone's Win Rate, not good players, not bad players, not anyone.
The change to the MM was about tier placement, and giving people a better proportion of battles in top/middle/bottom tier. No matter what tier you're in you still have to play the game and win the battle, the MM is not your babysitter.

Been on the wrong side of a number of blowouts since Friday night.
All worth while to be part of a end game of two arties VS a Bat-chat & two T67's on Paris. About fell out of my chair seeing that one game turn into a victory!
When the match maker seems to turn against you, all you can do is try to carry harder and enjoy the ride.

Losing is rough, but it kinda looks like you turned it around today.
I hate those 39% days or weeks. Sometimes you just can't get out of your own way. You do well the team deploys like crap and you lose, the team deploys well and plays well but you go Full Muppet. Ugh. Just gotta plow through it.

Lol Losing is tough but it has nothing to what I'm trying to say about myself. I don't give a sh#t about stats I just want to play at a higher tier's and be able to compete. I don't play with mod's anymore and need to see xvm values. I not that player that has to reroll and play lower tiers to show others they have a high win percentage on the screen. I played with Prostar in frontlines the other day, along with Trouble they both played a consistent great game. They were at the top of the players list at the end of the game. I mean within the top five most of the time. As you see and know their WR percentage doesn't show what they are really capable of doing in this game. I just want to be able to play in higher tier's without getting my azz handed to me by most other players. I guess I could go back down to lower tiers and stat pad my WR with better crews but that's not me. I do have great battles when my team lays a egg but how can you ever learn if every other battle you don't know if your heavy tanks are going to camp with arty. I really think the player base talent has gone down as mentioned from above. I'm sure like anything else unless your playing several hours a week your never going to keep up with the better players in the higher tiers. Looks like i'm going to get my BT-2 and matilda out for fun lol, hopefully I can put a six skilled crew in them.

All those losses, wow. Sounds like literally everybody loses every game.
Makes me wonder what happened to the 50% of people that win all those games...

Stay informed about WYSE Family online & offline events!
See our recent family gatherings
WYSE Family HistoryRecorded as Wise, Wyse, Wisdom, Wiseman, Wisman, and no doubt others, this is an English surname. It is of pre 7th century Anglo-Saxon origin, and derives from a byname applied to a "learned person". Such a person would have been regarded with mingled fear and respect in medieval days, and would have been regularly consulted on legal and other matters. It was occasionally applied to someone acquainted with the occult arts. The word "wise" derives from the Olde English pre 7th Century "wis", meaning "knowing".

Eidos Montreal To Make Thief 4?
Okay, this is an interesting one. A couple of days ago Eidos Montreal lobbed up a notice they were now recruiting staff to work on their new game. To quote the statement from their site: "Eidos-Montréal is proud to announce the recruitment for our 2nd "AAA" project. … A hint! The title begins with the letter " T"." Which doesn't mean much until you notice – as a forumite of theirs did – the previously existing line on their site here: "The first two games we develop will revive successful franchises." With the Montreal Studio already at work on Deus Ex 3, it's an easy leap to the further adventures of Mr Stealy rather than the further adventures of the-also-Eidos-Owned-Terracide. Or, less facetiously, they could be Tomb Raider… but that franchise doesn't need reviving. Let's be honest: It's almost certainly Thief. They wouldn't have said the teasing "T" otherwise.
[Thanks to Comrade Larington for the heads up]

The Smashing Pumpkins' Billy Corgan performed in Los Angeles last night, playing four new songs.
Not one of the new songs had a title, reports NME.com; Corgan appeared unsettled at the show, at the Hotel Cafe, and repeatedly retuned his guitar.
Other performers on the evening included E from Eels, The Who's Pete Townshend, and Minnie Driver.
Organiser Rachel Fuller remarked that Corgan was nervous, adding that he'd not played live for a long time. He's also bald, and has been that way since '1979'.

This is the second of a four-part series on cold calling. In my September article, I went in depth on why you have to qualify for interest first. I also covered how to close for an appointment. And I made a very special offer, which I now repeat: If you email me a copy of your best script, I will send you a copy of the best scripts I receive—but only if you send me one. Email your scripts to [email protected].
I am also collecting information on the "state of the art in cold calling." If you take my survey, I will send you a compilation of my Research articles on cold calling, updated with new material. You can take the survey here: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/ ColdCalling2012.
Finally, in 2009, I did a similar script harvest resulting in "16 best cold calling scripts 2009." Along with other valuable (and free) information, it is posted at www.billgood.com/coldcalling.
The biggest problem in cold calling, of course, is picking up the phone. This is abundantly clear from early respondents to my survey.
The second biggest problem is doing it right. What people tend to do is get a bad idea and stick to it.
The third biggest problem is having a great second call.
If you get over the hurdles of just doing it and then doing it right, you can still blow it with a poor second call. Here's why this is a problem.
One valid approach to cold calling is to offer people information. I have called this "cherry picking." Instead of trying to sell something or even set an appointment, you offer investment literature and then qualify. Obviously you have to call these leads back.
Another valid approach is to try to set appointments on a first call. I have personally tested this. It works. But it also generates about five times as many call back leads (cherries) as appointments.
So in both cases, you need a second call script.
A Failed Approach
When I am talking to someone who is having trouble cold calling, I always ask, "What do you say on the second call?"
A huge percentage of struggling FAs give me a version of the following. (This little script is right out of my book Hot Prospects, so I'll just quote myself.)
FRED: Jackie, it's Fred Smithers over here at Acme. How are you?
JACKIE: Fine.
FRED:I sent you that information last week. Did you get it?
JACKIE: Doesn't ring a bell.
FRED:Remember the big package? Brown envelope?
JACKIE: Oh, yes. I've got it. Haven't had time to look at it yet. It's about number six down from the top.
FRED:When do you think you'll get to look at it?
JACKIE: Try me next week some time.
What a waste of time!
Second Call Objective
We have one primary objective of the second call: determine if this person is in fact qualified and interested enough to set an appointment.
If not, is he or she is qualified? If so, keep the conversation going to give us time to increase the interest level enough for the prospect to set an appointment. Failing that, find out when an investment decision could be made.
You can accomplish all this in less than five minutes—if you can get five minutes. To get the time, we have to get the prospect to lower their guard and mentally open the door. And to do that we have to get around the problem of "Nope. Didn't get it. Can you send it again?"
Solving the Problem
We have a two-stage process for solution.
First: Send the requested information in such a way the prospect at least has to look at your name several times. Here is an adaptation from a few pages in my book.
Take your business card, flip it around, upside down and backward, and write on the back, "Here's the information I promised." And sign only your first name. Then, using a paper clip, attach the card to the upper right-hand corner of the material.
When the information arrives, your prospect will open the envelope, see your first name on the back of the card, won't have a clue who you are, will then have to take the card off and read it. This forces your prospect to get physically involved with your business card. She has to decide what to do with the card. This earned you several "impressions." Repetition. Repetition. Repetition.
Of course you lose this step when you send information electronically.
Second: When you get the prospect to the phone for your second contact, don't ask "Did you get it/did you read it?"
Instead say, "I sent you that material last week, but before I recommend you get involved, there are two or three questions I would like to check with you. Do you have a moment or two?" I call this "the bypass principle." Just bypass whether they got it. Assume they did.
One problem. Two solutions. Do they work?
In late August, I had several conversations with a client of mine who is prospecting "the good way." He is currently opening about five new client relationships a month. He's down from about 10 per month. Why is he down? He has lots of clients to take care of. In the last five years, he has built a $650,000 book. His clients came from cold calling or from referrals from clients who were initially cold called. He's 35 years old.
When I asked him about the "bypass principle," it was like asking him if gravity still works. "Of course," he said. "That's the only way to start a second call."
The Self-Introduction
With the bypass principle, you buy 15 seconds of prospect time. Use it to demonstrate good manners and establish credibility. I call this section a "self-introduction."
Again, I am quoting from my book.
"Since we've never met, I'd like to tell you a little about myself and the kind of work I do. My name, again, is Bob Loblaw. I specialize in (INFO SENT), tax-advantaged investments and retirement planning. I'll answer any questions you have and stay in touch with new ideas and needed information. But I recognize that you're probably busy, and I'll respect that by keeping my calls brief and to the point. Does that sound fair enough to you, Mr./Ms. _____?"
It's really hard for the prospect to say, "No, that's not fair." The prospect has opened the door a smidgen. Now let's see if we can at least get him out on the front porch.
Bridge to Profile
This next little section, which I call "Bridge to Profile," can alone disqualify. That's a good thing. The biggest threat to your survival is spending your selling time with unqualified people who just want to talk. So some people will bail right after the "Bridge to Profile." In many cases, it will buy you 5-10 minutes.
"For me to do a good job for you over time, I'll really need to know more about where you are financially, how you got that way, but most important, where you want to be in the future. We can do that one of two ways. We can set up a time to get together, or I can run some questions by you right now. How would you like to proceed?"
That's a classic forced choice closing question, isn't it?
If the person doesn't have the time right now, we of course respect that. Best bet: set a telephone appointment. This question will often also flush out people who just can't make a decision right now or do not have the funds available right now. These are our classic "green cherries." They go in the pipeline.
Next Steps
Doggone it. I've run out of space. There are two next steps: (1) Mini-Profile and (2) Appointment Close. So what I will do for you is post a copy of my "Second Call Script" over at billgood.com/coldcalling. I will put it in Microsoft Word so you can make such changes as you require.

The Washington Post's Robin Givhan is rather disappointed in Judge Sonia Sotomayor's latest sartorial decisions, deeming her choice of professional attire at last week's historic confirmation hearings not nearly feminine enough. What?
Givhan's analysis stems from the fact that the fashion industry has deemed sheath dresses (which are oh-so-flattering on every shape) equally authoritative as business suits and suggested that all women eschew stockings in the summer. And instead of complying with the fashion industry's advice — or, at a minimum, wearing a wrap dress — Sotomayor did what any sensible judicial nominee ought: she dressed both for her audience and the event, i.e. the Senate and a confirmation hearing. And thus she earns Givhan's opprobrium for not being feminine enough.
Her wardrobe, as she sat for her daily grilling by the Senate Judiciary Committee, did not reflect the fashion industry's constant refrain. In fact, it did not even appear to have been influenced by the 21st century. Instead, Sotomayor's clothes evoked authority in the manner of a 1980s lady power broker.
And while a wing of the fashion industry has been enraptured by the styles of the 1980s, its focus has been more on embellished military jackets, harem pants and jersey dresses that look as though they might spontaneously combust on a particularly hot day. That is not the part of 1980s fashion history Sotomayor was channeling. She embraced that period in fashion when femininity had no place in the executive suite.
Um, what? Either Robin Givhan and I experienced two different decades, or two different hearings. Sotomayor's suits, above, had hardly the big shoulderpads nor the boxy jackets of that (thankfully) bygone era, and I'm certain her skirts were either A-lines or flared, unlike the 80s ubiquitous pencil skirts. They weren't paired with high-necked silk shells, floppy bows of any kind or even button-down shirts. In short, they looked nothing like this.
In fact, by my count, Sotomayor wore a pink suit as well as a pink shell under her black suit; cuts that were flattering for her figure; exposed her collar bones and — for the first day — even wore a suit with a styled color and an asymmetrical line. But despite the skirts, the deliberately feminine color choices (pink, red, bright blue and a wide black pinstripe paired with a pink shell), the three-quarter sleeves and the stockings Givhan derides as being unfashionable (though a smart choice in what I guarantee was a frigid hearing room), Givhan says Sotomayor wasn't feminine.
Her single notable accessory was a slim bangle on her right wrist. Her neck, so exposed by her jewel collars, was bare.
Aside from her decision to emphasize skirts instead of trousers and the shoulder-length dark curls framing her face, there was nothing in Sotomayor's style that acknowledged her femininity in a significant way.
She, in Givhan's words, left her gender at the door.

The issue will be in the limelight Tuesday when the Senate Law and Justice Committee holds a hearing on a bill known as the Compassionate Use of Medical Cannabis Act. This measure would allow the use of medical marijuana by patients with a recommendation from an attending physician. Sen. Daylin Leach, D-17, King of Prussia, a bill cosponsor, has launched a social media campaign called Meet the Kids (#MeetThePAKids) that highlights the cases of children who could benefit from prescribed use of marijuana. Leach features photos and stories of children with epilepsy and seizure disorders on his website. He said children with these illnesses can benefit from the medicinal qualities of marijuana. Leach urged Gov. TomCorbett to meet with some of the families. The governor opposes the legalization of marijuana for medicinal and recreational uses, Corbett spokesman Jay Pagni said Friday. However, Corbett has said he's interested in seeing the results of any trials by the federal Food and Drug Administration on the effects of cannabidiol, a non-hallucinogenic compound in cannabis, added Pagni. The bill's other sponsor, Sen. Mike Folmer, R-48, Lebanon, brings a personal perspective to the matter. "As a cancer survivor, I believe under the guidance of a medical professional, patients should have every opportunity to combat their illness and have the liberty and ability to use cannabis as a weapon in their arsenal of treatment," said Folmer. He suggested that medical marijuana can offer an alternative to addictive prescription drugs. The bill drew support last week from the Pennsylvania State Nurses Association, which represents registered nurses. "SB 1182 both protects patients from prosecution when seeking the use of medicinal marijuana and protects health care providers who suggest medical marijuana to relieve intractable medical conditions or symptoms," said an association statement. The senators carefully note their bill is the first to be introduced in the Senate with bipartisan support. But medical marijuana bills have been introduced in previous sessions without seeing much headway. A House committee held a hearing in 2009 on a Philadelphia Democratic lawmaker's bill to provide for state licensing and inspection of "compassion" centers where marijuana could be used with a doctor's recommendation by patients suffering from HIV, AIDS, cancer and other illnesses. That hearing drew testimony from supporters who argued that medical marijuana is a way to ease pain and suffering and opponents who voiced concerns the bill would weaken existing drug laws and make a controlled substance more available. - --- MAP posted-by: Matt

Hi everybody,
It's a pleasure to join Day of Archaeology 2016. Today I wish to share our project in Murcia (Spain), the Archaeodrome. This is a project based on the excavation of a site with teens, kids and people of the local communities, in order to engage young people in Archaeology labours. Also it is useful for us, young archaeologists without jobs, to be archaeologists but through being teachers.
We do this every summer, in July, in collaboration with the Murcia City Council, Cepaim foundation, and La Estación communitarian center, and also with our association Arqueología de Guardia.
This year 2016 an amount of 15 young people participated in the Archaeodrome excavation, as you can see in the pics. Further, it helps me to develop creative practices in the context of an archaeological excavation, thinking theoretical and practically in Creative Archaeology and the blurring of the frontiers between Art and Archaeology.
See you!
Best regards,
José A. Mármol

Are You Ready?
How was the weekend then, readers? Mighty fine here in good old England, it was. We've waited a long time for this glorious weather and so we're darned sure we're going to make the most if it. Thanks so much for your well wishes for the fair. The footfall was definitely down but who can blame folks for making the most of the sunshine outdoors? I had a good natter with my fellow stall holders and made the odd essential vintage purchase.
It can't have escaped your notice, in particular those of us from Blighty, that this weekend sees the Jubilee Celebrations for our wonderful Queen. So the question is: are you ready?
What are you planning to get up to over the four-day holiday weekend. I'm looking anxiously at the weather forecast and hoping it shall stay fine to allow for a little outdoor partying.
Most importantly, I'm having fun thinking of everything "red, white and blue" and digging out treasures to decorate for the weekend.
Today, it is absolutely glorious here so I loaded up my basket and off out into the sunshine I went.
Time for a little Jubilee-style shoot. Gorgeous, fragrant red roses which are so abundant in our front garden at the moment have found a home in the vintage Sadler jug I bought a few weeks ago. Oh how I have been waiting for that moment, to snip those blooms and place them in that rescued rosy red and stripy blue jug.
Out too went the Union Jack cushions I made last week. I can't say I'd mind keeping them but that would be a tad greedy (I do already have one for keeps). So I took some snaps then regrettably headed back indoors for a good while to load up the photos into Etsy; the little downside of this sewing business!
Indoors, I took the opportunity to snap lots of other goodies, too. Our home was built in the 1870s and has good thick brick walls and huge sash windows meaning it actually keeps beautifully cool in this weather so it's nice to retreat indoors for a breather.
So there are lovely lampshades, brilliant bunting, beautiful bags and pretty pins. Yes, I've swallowed the alliterative dictionary!
Just what you need for a Jubilee-themed celebration and all Summer long, in fact. I never manage to take my bunting down all Summer once it's up and why the hecky thump should I?
Not everything was red, white and blue themed, promise!
There has to be pretty pastels, especially a bit of Cath K and Liberty Tana Lawn.
Oh dear, another one sneaked in there!
Phew, that was a marathon of snapping and listing! If you fancy any goodies to give your celebrations a bit of handmade homespun pzazz or your home (or indeed you) wants a little love, please find all these additions in my Etsy shop. I've offered free postage on some items and special deals when buying more than one item.
Me? I'm back off outside with something tall and cool (no, not Mr HenHouse, he's not back from work, yet)!

Made in England
Well it's time to get packing after an industrious week. Tomorrow the boys and I are off to Chipping Sodbury for what promises to be another super Vintage and Handmade Fair. I seem not to have taken a photo of my mock up stall in its entirety, oops. I blame the heat (or the rose wine I've had to drink to keep hydrated, you know how it is).
One of the Fair's organisers, Jayne, has written up a nice piece about the Fair and the town of Chipping Sodbury. We hope to see lots of familiar faces and welcome new ones, too.
So now I can relax, well once the car is packed up, but I'll leave that in the capable hands of Mr HH once he gets home later. Coming with us is a large collection of entirely handmade brooches, I love to make these and was sewing a few up on the train yesterday to and from the Chelsea Flower Show which drew many enquiring glances! My latest creation are these, in honour of the Jubilee next weekend but let's be honest, the Union Jack is fabulous all the time.
More Union Jack fever in the form of these lavender-filled hearts, fashioned from vintage blue floral fabric.
It's officially the season of wonderful Summer weddings and garden parties. Every well-turned out lady needs a unique bag made with yummy 1950's fabrics to be the belle of the ball.
A few patchworked book covers have been run up, some with Cath K ditsy florals and others with Liberty Tana lawn, which I think are particularly gorgeous (if you don't mind me saying so, but then it's hard to go wrong with LTN).
Cushions, well I don't know about the good folks of Chipping Sodbury and beyond, but I can never get enough of them. Here the Union Jack has a new twist with a central panel of lovely vintage embroidered linen.
It wouldn't be Summer without some bunting flapping in the breeze. Here's some that will be perfect all Summer long, not least next weekend's Jubilee celebrations. I've used pretty fabrics in red, white and blue: florals, polka dots and vintage stripes.
Lest I forget, some more vintage embroidered linen with a gorgeous butterfly motif was begging me to be combined with my precious "buttercup" fabric range. Ooooh pretty!
Finally, thank you for the lampshade love in my last post. I've indulged my continuing obsession by running up a few for the Fair.
The HenHouse gang hope to see you between 10am and 4pm in Chipping Sodbury tomorrow and otherwise, wish you all a super weekend whatever you may get up to. Long may the sunshine last!

Lights, Camera, Action!
The last few weeks have been incredibly busy here at the HenHouse. The building works are now in their third month and I am pretty cheesed off with the whole business, to be honest. I'm used to the luxury of having a lovely peaceful house to myself most days so the constant presence of smoking, singing builders is unsettling to say the least. I've found it hard to settle down and get on with many sewing projects but that's not to say there hasn't been a fair amount of making over going on.
But first, it wouldn't be right (nor British) not to talk about the weather. It's a little dull here at 7am but there are exciting promises of sunshine later! AND this coincides with the week of Chelsea Flower Show, oh happy days. Most thrillingly, I have been able to pick my first peonies from the garden and also, the first roses. And they just happen to be seriously divine.
I can't tell you what variety they are as this rose was already here when we moved in. To look at it, you would now think it is a climber but I'm unsure whether it was always a climber or has just gone slightly mad in recent years! It vies for first place as my favourite rose in the garden and has a heavenly scent, too.
It's been a delight to snip off a few blooms and bring them indoors, to arrange them in my new (old) china rose jug and arrange them on the table on the landing just outside my Den.
You may recall that this is the site of the "Bagpuss Table". Whilst making yet another run to drop off things at the charity shop last week, I ended up coming home not empty handed. This bamboo table called to me, all £5.50 of it.
And did you spot my new lamp? I have become quite giddily obsessed with lamps, dear reader. This one was spotted at the Shepton Mallet Flea Market, £8 for a bargainous 1930s/'40s oak barley twist lamp base and a shockingly dreadful 1980's shade! No problem: a spot of new braided flex courtesy of Mr HenHouse later, and a lampshade with delicious vintage fabric from yours truly et voila. What a team!
What to put on those handy shelves under the table top? It had to be piles of delicious vintage fabric. These are generally of a heavier weight, so those I would use for cushions and lampshades, rather than patchwork. This delightful sight greets me every time I go upstairs.
What of the original Bagpuss Table? Fear ye not, that has simply moved to the next landing and had a little makeover of its own.
I recently came to be in possession of this brown lamp. It's very un-me, don't you think? But none the less, it had indeed sat in the spare bedroom for a few years but was liberated last week when I turned that bedroom into a full scale quilting den, getting rid of the bed and so on (more of that another time, oooh it's exciting!)
This lamp did look nice in the environs of the chic calamine pink and mink bedroom but had no home elsewhere in the HenHouse.
But it is a tale with a happy ending. One can of pink spray paint and a recovered lampshade later and the Bagpuss Table has a new lamp.
More lampy stuff has been going on downstairs. This time, I bought the 1940's oak lampbase on eBay and recovered a charity shop shade with some gorgeous French red rosebud fabric which came from Lizzie (The Washerwoman). Yes, I am quite quite potty about these fabric lampshades.
We bought the little 1940's glazed cabinet at the Shepton Mallet Flea and I made a little door curtain using that same yummy fabric.
Finally, (are you all lamped out yet?), our beloved Bridport yielded a rather lovely Globe Wernicke bookcase. I have wanted one of these for ages and imagine our joy when we got it home to find that an original CC41 plaque is attached to the back. We somehow managed to find a spot for it up on the top floor landing, an area which is largely the Munchkin's domain (the top floor, not just the landing!) and before I knew it, he had claimed the bookcase as his own. He has selected items he owns and made a fabulous little display, all on his own.
Yes, there atop the bookcase is yet another lamp. The base came from Bridport's vintage area for a few pounds, the lampshade was 50p from a charity shop and it was a simple job to cover it with some groovy retro Spitfire fabric and finally, a very Jubilee-esque trim.
Hmm, surely there must be more surfaces here in need of lamps? I feel my love affair with making over lamps is not yet over. I urge you to get making over lamps yourself, a very satisfying and thrifty affair indeed. One thing's for sure, no one else is going to have a lampshade like yours!

1940 on The Bluebell Line
Well, how lucky were we on Saturday when the day dawned bright and sunny. Off we set for the rolling Sussex countryside for a little trip by steam train. All aboard!
The Bluebell Line is a very picturesque heritage railway. It is literally in the middle of the countryside, thank goodness some clever folks thought to preserve it as it makes a fantastic destination for a wholesome day out. The stations are particularly fine with many original artefacts. They are often used for films and tv, indeed The Railway Children was filmed here.
Back we go to the 1940s. Mr HenHouse purchases our tickets (of the proper cardboard variety). Off we go.
Signs alert us to the fact that there could be an air raid at any time so it's important to know where the shelter is.
Looks like we've been beaten to it!
Choo, choo. What better way is there to travel than by steam?
Perhaps we'll just treat ourselves to a cuppa and a home-baked cake before we set off.
Maybe a newspaper for the journey?
There are interesting displays of wartime ephemera.
Opportunities for retail therapy of the vintage kind!
It's time to hop on board. I quite fancy this carriage!
I enjoy seeing the fields of bluebells through the window but the Munchkin cannot be distracted from his latest book.
The sunshine holds and we decide it's time for our picnic lunch. Ah, splendid. We've had far too few opportunities to indulge in this sort of thing given the recent weather. Cheers!
Mr HenHouse treats us to some superb tunes on the gramophone. Wow, what an atmosphere that creates! Time for a little jive perchance?
Phew, I think I'll catch up on my reading, so important to make do and mend, after all.
All too soon, it's time to leave.
Goodbye, Bluebell. Until the next time...

Dinners at home: None but Labor Day, which is a bit sad considering my husband Steve was at Burning Man for the past week and didn't return until the day after Labor Day. We caught up on Sunday morning, and also squeezed in a dinner at home on Thursday with Maxwell on the eve of his return to college, before the Sunnyside Neighborhood Association meeting.
Family notes: Maxwell the Younger Son returned to college in NJ on 9/11; daughter Ali went back to Willamette University on Labor Day; Luke the Older Son started his tutoring job at Marshall High School when all Portland area public school students returned the day after Labor Day. I've enjoyed spending time with my family over the summer.

EDITORIAL: Unless violence ends now, cut aid to Egypt
Egypt is roiling from a brutal crackdown by its interim military government last week and from continuing violence since, as the Muslim Brotherhood and other Muslim Egyptians protest last week's slaughter. Hundreds have died and thousands lie in makeshift hospitals, the toll sure to increase.
The most populous country in the Arab world and, at least until now, a key stabilizing force in the Middle East teeters on the brink of a disastrous civil war that would have worldwide implications.
The military's brutality against the people prompted President Barack Obama on Thursday to cancel joint military exercises set for September, a good first step. He did not revoke the $1.3 billion in aid the U.S. has committed to Egypt, but he did say, "Our traditional cooperation cannot continue as usual."
It's time for an ultimatum. The president should set clear standards for Gen. Abdul-Fattah el-Sisi's military government to meet in the coming weeks to avoid a cutoff of aid. If U.S. demands go ignored, then Obama has to make good on the threat. Milder diplomacy has not been effective.
Obama has moved slowly until now in hope that the military's deposing of elected President Mohamed Morsi last month was a detour on the path to democracy rather than a U-turn to brutal dictatorship in the model of ousted former President Hosni Mubarak, who had ruled for decades.
But Egypt's path now appears to lead over a cliff to civil war. This would be catastrophic not only for its people but for the prospect of broader peace in the Middle East, where Egypt's stable relationship with Israel has been a saving grace.
Morsi was the first elected president in the wake of Egypt's Arab Spring, but he was no George Washington. The darling of the religious conservative Muslim Brotherhood, Morsi was lukewarm at best to the principles of democratic reform and less than tolerant of differing viewpoints, which had cost him substantial support. Many Egyptians were relieved when the military took him out in July.
But Brotherhood protests against the takeover grew. And since last week's violence, large numbers of Egyptians not politically aligned with the Brotherhood are joining them in the streets, outraged by the military's brutality. Many are turning their wrath on Coptic Christians, a small minority who lead a fragile existence in the best of times and now are vilified as military sympathizers.
Government bloodletting on the scale of Syria's would be especially tragic for Egypt in the wake of what had seemed to be a peaceful democratic revolution.
The military government can step back and avoid pushing the people over the brink to civil war. The United States, Europe and the rest of the world need to pile on incentives and hope they find a way to influence a government beholden to no one -- least of all, apparently, its people.

Irving Berlin knew it: Anything You Can Do I Can Do Better! True, he may have meant Annie Oakley, but why be picky? No doubt Berlin, himself a record-holder (for White Christmas, yet), would agree that We Jews love a challenge. Whether we're talking music, sports, debate, or "finding the cure," you'll find us striving to be the best among the best -- or at least "better." Einstein, Freud, Salk, Spitz, Phelps, Streisand, to name a few, have earned a place in the world record books, and on the world stage. But not every title-holding MOT is a household name. Some are surprising, some unsung. And some, aren't even people, but rather the "stuff" of records, from the serious to the humorous. Today, more and more Jewish organizations are using world records, no matter how strange, to promote community, culture, and tzedakah. So grab a few landsleit and next year, you too, instead of merely enjoying a sampling, may join the ranks of inspired MOTs at the top of the heap!
We Jews strive to be the best of the best.
Nes Gadol Haya Sham! "A Great Miracle Happened There."
On November 30, 2010, two Yeshiva University students brought together 616 other Y.U. students, alumni, faculty, staff, neighbors and friends, and broke the Guinness World Record for most dreidels spun simultaneously. The previous record was 541, set in 2005. The event, termed "DreidelPalooza," was organized to raise scholarship gelt.
In Tel Aviv, after almost 19 hours, Alik Gershon, 30, set a Guinness World record on October 22, 2010, by taking on 523 simultaneous chess opponents, and winning 86% of the games played! His victory trumped the Iranian record, set in 2009. The event was sponsored to mark the 20th anniversary of the mass aliyah from the former Soviet Union. Gershon himself is a native of Dnepropetrovsk, Ukraine, who immigrated to Israel in 1990.
You Call This a Matzah Ball?
November, 2010 saw a record-breaking mega-matzah ball, the brainchild of Chef Jon Wirtis of Shlomo and Vito's restaurant in Tucson. The feat required 125 pounds of matzah meal, 25 pounds of schmaltz, over 1,000 eggs, and a six-foot high, six-foot wide pot, to create the mega matzah ball, which at 488 pounds, is a new World Record, solidly beating the old one of 267 pounds set a year earlier by Noah's Ark Deli in New York City.
It's the Pravda!
Dateline: Moscow, December 13 2009. Jews from Russia and around the world gathered in a Moscow club, Zona, to celebrate Hanukkah by setting a new world record: lighting the most number of candles simultaneously. With each of the over 400 participants lighting four candles, they handily beat the previous record of 250 participants. The fiery feat, organized by Hillel Russia, also delivered the message of safety. During the event not only were fire laws scrupulously followed, tzedakah was collected for children whose parents perished in a club fire in Perm.
Hold the Pickle!
On February 11, 2009 in New York City, deli mavin David Sax, performed what no other Jew before him had managed to accomplish: He named 30 delis in just one minute, a new universal record.
During the nail-biting event, held by the World Record Appreciation Society, Sax maintained his concentration despite a heckler who kept yelling, "Carnegie! Carnegie!" His list of world-class Jewish eateries also included Katz's, Second Avenue Deli, Ben's, and Zabar's. But then, is Zabar's, with its sterling grocery "element" a "kosher" contender? Then again, they have chairs. (Or do they? And if you sit and don't nosh – ) Oy ... and you thought deciding between corned beef and brisket was a problem.
A Banner Year!
It was a "banner" year for Israel in 2007! On November 25, the giant flag of the State of Israel, the size of two football stadiums, was hoisted and recognized by Guinness World Records as the largest in the world. But there's more. On December 23, the 15-ton 777 Yahveh's Banner, made up of the gi-normous Isreali flag, plus those of The Philippines, and North and South Korea, was unfurled at Masada Airfield, thus becoming the largest banner ever created! It took the nimble (and persistent) fingers of a 400 person Filipino sewing team in Masada to stitch the behemothic banner, the brainchild of Filipino visionary, Grace Galindez-Gupana, who wished to commemorate the 40th anniversary of Israel's victory in the Six Day War, and the 50th anniversary of diplomatic ties between the Philippines and Israel (1957–2007). The organizers plan to hoist the Yahveh's Banner every December 25 to commemorate the Halleluyah Feast Global Celebration, and spread its "hugantic" message: peace in Jerusalem! Long and wide may she wave! (And don't ask about the flagpole!)
Shofar "Blows" Old World Record
In 2006, the Robert I. Lappin Charitable Foundation (Swampscott, MA.) "blew" the old world record for simultaneous shofar blowing by the greatest number of people! The old record, established in 2005 by the Jewish community of Philadelphia with a mere 400 shofar-blowers, was handily beaten by the 789 participants at Phillips Beach. The sound, described as elephants stampeding, continued for seven minutes and 56 seconds. Not all were blown by Jews. Many from Latin American churches also participated. Turning toward Israel, Jews and Gentiles blasted their way into the new World Record on September 17, 2006!
West to East:-The Flying Kosher Pizza
Our story started at the famed Broadway's Jerusalem 2 in 1998. Then-owners, Eddie Fishbaum and his brother Ari, received a fax from one Eiji Bando, with the plea, "I'm hungry! Please deliver No.1 pizza ...!" To Japan! True to their vow to "deliver anywhere," valiant Eddie, yarmulke in place, delivered and earned a place in Guinness World Records 2001, traveling 6914 miles to hand over the kosher pizza to Bando, a sports and media star, in 1998, a feat that cost $7,000 and was shown on Japanese TV.
Galloping Ida Mintz
Ida had always liked a brisk walk. Unusual? No. Then, she decided to run in Marathons in her home town of Chicago (and elsewhere). Unusual? No. Oh, but did I mentioned, she ran her first at age 73?! (And her last at 85?) When most of us are looking to "lie down," Ida got up and sprinted in 10 races, making her not only the record-holder for the oldest marathoner, but anointing her the "Galloping Great-Grandmother!"
Said her daughter-in-law, Yocheved Mintz of Las Vegas, "She exercised in the closet, a habit no doubt started because as a child, hidden in the attic in Poland, she wasn't allowed to run." Ida, born on October 15, 1905, ran her last marathon in 1990. She died in 1991, leaving a vast legacy to her family, and her fellow Jews!
