PUTRAJAYA, Jun 15 – The newly constituted board of 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) will hold its inaugural meeting this Thursday. Treasury Secretary-General Tan Sri Dr Mohd Irwan Serigar Abdullah chairs the three-member board. The others are the Senior Private Secretary of the Chief Secretary to the Government, Datuk Norazman Ayob and Chief Operating Officer of Prokhas Sdn Bhd, Datuk Kamal Mohd Ali.
Mohd Irwan said 1MDB President and Group Executive Director Arul Kanda, would brief members on matters concerning the strategic investment fund. He said they will move on from there. He told this to reporters when asked about the latest developments on 1MDB after launching "The National Code Challenge" at the Finance Ministry here today.
The newly-appointed board was announced by the Finance Ministry last month, after its previous members officially resigned. Mohd Irwan said the meeting would discuss ideas for the implementation of 1MDB's rationalisation plan and the Public Accounts Committee's (PAC) recommendations. Elaborating on the rationalisation exercise, Mohd Irwan said the board was going to look at 1MDB's liabilities and assets as part of the process. — Bernama

Recruitment Tips
Show your P.A.D. pride! Send us your pictures, links, and any recruitment-related efforts for us to share with the P.A.D. network. If you need help with brainstorming any recruitment-related efforts, email Pre-Law Operations Coordinator Liz Dunlap at email@example.com or click here to submit them to our COVID-19 Suggestion Box.
One of the most effective things that members can do is hold virtual informational sessions and disseminate P.A.D. promotional/informational materials. Here a few resources and tips to help you do this.
Connect with Local P.A.D. Chapters
Talk to each other and don't hesitate to reach out to local P.A.D. chapters to cross-promote each other's virtual events and/or even team up on any recruitment efforts. You may be able to utilize another chapter's resources to enhance your recruitment. This can include content/events provided by local pre-law, law, and/or alumni chapters.
If you need a chapter membership roster or, list of contact information for officers of chapters that you would like to work with, please do not hesitate to contact the Executive Office.
Expand Your Recruitment Committee
If your chapter does not already have a dedicated recruitment chair or committee, consider establishing one. This can be done any time. With a dedicated team, you can have them focus on establishing methods to launch a creative and successful campaign to attract members to join your chapter.
Host a Recruitment-Based Webinar
Focus a single/series of webinars for all campus students to attend. Schedule these in advance and post links from your webinars across your chapter's social media platforms. Some topics can include:
If you need assistance with technical setup/access please don't hesitate to reach out to the Executive Office!
Social Media
BRANDING:This is the space where you can make recruitment your own. While you're marketing towards potential P.A.D. members you can create branded content unique to your chapter. As a chapter, you are encouraged to use Phi Alpha Delta's official crest, seal, Greek letters, and imagery to brand your chapter. You can download those images by clicking here.
Check out this recruitment example that utilizes social media and chapter branding from University of California-Berkeley Pre-Law Chapter by clicking here.
ENGAGEMENT:Follow and engage with your school's social media accounts, including the main school account, the admissions office, the SGA, etc. Engaging with them and tagging them increases your chapter's visibility to the larger student base.
INSTAGRAM:If your chapter uses Instagram, make a "Call to Action" button and display it prominently on your chapter's page and stories posts (i.e. – "Join Today"). To utilize this feature, you'll need to have an Instagram Business Account, or change your standard account to a business one.
Have your "Call to Action" button lead back to the national Join P.A.D page on the P.A.D. website. Make sure to use relevant hashtags such as #PhiAlphaDelta and #PADPride to promote your recruitment efforts.
Chapter Website
If your chapter doesn't already have a website, we encourage you to establish one. This helps potential members not only visualize what your chapter is all about, but to also more easily identify and contact you.
Your chapter can look into creating a simple Wordpress or Squarespace landing page with a contact form for interested members to request more information. Some great chapter website examples are:
Chapter Newsletter
While we do publish issues of P.A.D.'s quarterly magazine The Reporter, you can try your hand at creating your own chapter-specific newsletter to update your current chapter membership while providing content for potential members; this recruitment tool gives them a better idea of the benefits of joining P.A.D.
While social distancing, you can still find space to mention the benefits and value of joining Phi Alpha Delta to potential members. Ask permission to speak at the beginning or end of class to encourage members to join. When possible, keep detailed notes on who attends your classes and reach out to them.
P.A.D. Merchandise
What better way to show your purple and gold pride than by showing off your chapter's P.A.D. swag?
If you have a Marketing or Recruitment Chairperson have them put their skills to use and post any PSA's or bulletins about your chapter through online platforms such as:
Virtual Service Events
As an organization that prides itself on providing service to the community, we encourage chapters to consider how you can help communities in need. Consider a mask making drive and have your members make and donate masks, or host a local food drive for shelters in need (while still observing national, state, and local COVID-19 placed restrictions).
These service events show likeminded prospective students that your chapter provides service to the community, and will attract them to join P.A.D. These events can be publicized on your media outlets.
Virtual Career/Student Organization Fair
Web applications such as Brazen.com or CareerEco.com can be utilized to host a virtual career or student organization fair. If your school has already taken steps to organize a virtual one, make sure to arrive prepared to put your best professional foot forward.
For tips to prepare for a virtual career fair, look no further than this article put together by University of Colorado – Boulder.
Recruitment Pro-Tips
As with any recruitment event, a virtual career fair, informational session, or webinar, events will only be successful with promotion. You're probably already familiar with the Recruitment Tips Guide but you may be wondering, "What do we do now, with everything moving online?"

LINCOLN, NEB. – The Nebraska Farm Bureau (NEFB) has released the findings and policy recommendations of its Cattle Markets Task Force. The task force was charged with examining current Farm Bureau policy, providing policy recommendations, and providing input on what NEFB's role should be in addressing concerns regarding cattle markets.
"Nebraska's cattle industry is the largest segment of Nebraska agriculture and it's critical to the economic well-being of our state. Listening to the concerns of our cattle producers regarding the challenges in the beef industry, we felt it was vital that we put together a group to do a deep dive on the issues surrounding cattle markets and develop a resource to aid our members in developing our organizational policy," said Steve Nelson, Nebraska Farm Bureau president.
Over the course of five months, the NEFB Cattle Markets Task Force met online and in person with agriculture economists, cattle organizations, auction barn owners, feedlot managers, restaurant owners, and consultants in order to gain a better understanding of the entire beef supply chain and to develop recommendations for consideration by members as part of Nebraska Farm Bureau's policy development process.
The group ultimately centered its work around six topics, including fed cattle markets, the Livestock Market Reporting Act, small and medium-sized packing facilities, beef packer market power, risk management and value-added programs, and mandatory country of origin labeling.
"The Nebraska Farm Bureau Cattle Markets Task Force members are to be commended for their work in giving careful and thoughtful consideration to many challenging issues facing the beef industry. We look forward to the delegate discussions on these issues during our annual meeting in December and subsequently the American Farm Bureau Annual Meeting in January where our official organizational policies will be determined," said Nelson.
The Nebraska Farm Bureau Cattle Markets Task Force report summarizing the group's findings and recommendations is available on the Nebraska Farm Bureau website at www.nefb.org.

Lincoln, Neb., Sept. 16, 2020— An upcoming Nebraska Extension webinar will feature Jay Rempe, senior economist with Nebraska Farm Bureau, discussing recent shocks in the cattle industry and producer response in the state.
"Troubles in the Cattle Markets: A Farm Organization's Response" will be presented on Sept. 24 at noon by the extension Farm and Ranch Management team in the Department of Agricultural Economics, as part of its weekly webinar series.
Events over the last year have driven to the surface long-standing questions concerning the cattle markets and market structure, which have resulted in numerous proposals being offered in Washington D.C. In response, the Nebraska Farm Bureau created a task force of cattle producers to study current markets and offer policy suggestions and recommendations. Rempe will discuss recent market events, responses by producers, the task force's work and what has been learned about Nebraska's cattle industry relative to the country.
A graduate of the Department of Agricultural Economics at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Rempe majored in agribusiness as an undergraduate and earned a Master of Science in Agricultural Economics in 1993. As the senior economist at Nebraska Farm Bureau, he his responsible for agricultural economic outlook, policy analysis, research and education programs. He previously served as vice president of governmental relations for Farm Bureau.
Registration for the webinar is free and can be completed at farm.unl.edu/webinars.

We use a feed-through fly control in our mineral, but I'm afraid we didn't start it early enough this season. The flies seem to have gotten ahead of us and stayed ahead of us. What is the best strategy for fly control you've seen, paired with a feed-through?
Every year is different, and weather patterns have a huge impact on fly control. I think we must have a realistic goal of control and not think of this as total elimination of flies.
Horn fly control is by far the most important because they can carry disease and can drain enough blood through biting to cause a severe economic drain on a cattle production operation. Face flies do not bite but feed on secretions around the eyes. They are a significant factor in pinkeye transmission.
Even if you had started the feed-through earlier, in most cases you would have needed other control methods over the course of a season. Effective fly control utilizes an integrated pest management (IPM) program. Selection of the right class and application method are where professional advice is most valuable. Talk to your herd veterinarian, local extension agent or other experts to help develop a customized program specific to your operation.
I believe some type of feed-through (larvacide or insect growth regulator) should be part of every IPM program. There is little documented resistance to these products. Feed-throughs should ideally be started before flies emerge in the spring, and their use should continue until about a month after the first killing frost.
Insecticides can be incorporated into your IPM by various methods of delivery. Ear tags have been a mainstay of fly control for many years, but since they lose effectiveness over time it's best not to apply them in the early spring. Rather, wait until horn fly numbers reach economic thresholds of about 50 flies per cow. Be sure to remove tags in the fall. Always follow label directions as to the number of tags to apply and whether calves also need to be tagged.
Pour-ons can also be effective in reducing fly numbers, but they require working cattle through a chute. Pour-on dewormers provide some fly control and can be part of an IPM program, but they should never be used strictly for fly control. Many experts feel repeated, indiscriminate use of generic ivermectin pour-on products, for example, have selected for resistance in intestinal parasites to this important class of dewormers.
Other options to manage flies include sprays, which may be less time consuming and less stressful than a pour-on because cattle only need to be penned to be treated. Some producers like the VetGun–I call it an insecticide paintball gun that delivers a dose of insecticide. Backrubs and dust bags are old standbys that can be quite effective, but cattle must be forced to walk under them to get to water or minerals, and they must be kept charged.
Lastly, parasitic wasps and fly traps are non-insecticidal concepts that may help in some operations. And don't forget, pasture rotation and manure management around heavy use areas can go a long way in reducing fly populations by limiting breeding areas for the pests.

Diesel, Live breathe and wear fashion
1. Explain which of the promotional strategies used by Diesel are above- or below-the-line. Analyze the impact that each approach might have.
The strategies I think can be used are the impact of music, giving new artists the opportunity to use the diesel brand. Helping others to join this lifestyle
The strategy is stupid advocates putting aside the conservative mentality to get the stupid side in you. The brand has created for this a manifesto that incites to forget the rational with the aim of daring to play the fool.
Diesel calls for losing the fear of failure. "Remember. Only the stupid can be really brilliant. "
1. What type of promotion might Diesel:U:Music be regarded as and why?
Diesel U Music, it's easy to forget that it's essentially a smart scheme to sell jeans. The role of interesting and unconventional people, presenting music programs rich in content and personality. This promotion allows the company to engage with younger consumers in a deeper way than TV ads. What they do not want is bland corporate content. Great ideas sometimes scrabble around for years to find financing. The values of production of Diesel are good, but the presentation can be amateur, talkative. In other words, passionate about music. With this promotion, Diesel U Music, internal staff is paid, but the programs are created free of charge by taxpayers.
1. Explain the advantages and disadvantages of using premium pricing as a strategy.
In markets with high repeat business or multiple sales, prices create an advantage for companies that can sell products at prices lower than the competition. Having high initial sales usually results in a lower cost per unit, which allows an acceptable profit margin, holding the competition at bay. It creates that customers perceive that they are buying a product of high quality at a fair price.
If sales are up to the intended targets, the company could end up with a large inventory and costs higher than expected. In addition, sales could suffer if customers perceive the product as too cheap and the quality brand image can be damaged. Brands that are perceived as "cheap" may have problems competing with the highest price of competition. Another important risk is that competition will do the same, lowering its own prices and creating a war with them.
1. Considering the distribution strategies mentioned in the case study, what might be the outcome if Diesel adopted an intensive distribution method?
If I adopt an intensive method so much that I contribute much to the music of intensive form, selective or exclusive distribution. The goal is to offer a lifestyle and make it available in all types of retail outlets where consumers expect to find. For example, magazines are not only sold in kiosks, but also in supermarkets and pharmacies. With its selective distribution, it involves the sale of a product by a small number of stores selected for their image or other distinctive features. In the exclusive distribution, limited availability of the product to a single outlet.
1. To what extent do you think Diesel can rely on its brand alone for future growth? How far do you think Diesel's growth is directly linked to its organisational structure?
I think that within the advertising environment, the image of Diesel and its controversial campaigns have not gone unnoticed. Surely the whole agency that is dedicated to the brand as a customer, perhaps because it is one of the most risky when it comes to communicating and flutters in the air that fantasy that with Diesel can be carried out to the most Allocated ideas
High Tech Sport
1. What is meant by a brand?
It is one of the most important strategic variables of a company since day by day it acquires a greater protagonism. We must not forget that we currently live a stage under the prism of the marketing of perceptions and therefore highlights the brand versus the product. To be well positioned in the minds of consumers and opinion leaders, our company's brand must enjoy the highest and best recognition and positioning in its market and sector.
According to the American Marketing Association, brand is a name, a term, a sign, a symbol, a design, or a combination of any of them that identifies a company's products and services and differentiates them from competitors. But, the brand is not a mere name and a symbol, since, as I said before, it has become a strategic tool within the current economic environment. This is largely due to the shift from marketing products to selling sensations and solutions, which inevitably involves selling not only the final attributes of the product but also the intangible and emotional attributes of the product.
Each time products look more like each other and it is more difficult for consumers to distinguish their attributes. The brand is, besides the main identifier of the product, an endorsement that guarantees it placing it in a higher plane, when building a true identity and emotional relationship with the consumers.
1. Explain what is meant by a unique selling proposition.

Palm oil firm
14 Sep 2019
KUALA LUMPUR: Palm oil futures closed marginally higher on Friday but the market suffered its third straight weekly decline due to weak demand.
The benchmark palm oil contract on the Bursa Malaysia Derivatives Exchange finished 0.2 per cent higher at 2,193 ringgit ($526.78) per tonne.
"The demand is really slow in India and Pakistan," said one Singapore-based trader who sells the edible oil to buyers in South Asia.
"In India's physical market palm oil is selling below the import cost."
Exports of Malaysian palm oil products for Sept 1-10 fell 29pc to 337,570 tonnes from 475,555 tonnes shipped during Aug 1-10, cargo surveyor Societe Generale de Surveillance said on Wednesday.

I saw this movie tonight with a friend. He and I had never seen or heard of the original, and both really enjoyed it! As we talked about it in the car, we came to understand more and more of the plot details, and realized that all the characters, in the end, got either what they wanted, or what they needed. I cannot stress this enough -- this wasn't a "be careful what you wish for" story, in my eyes, but rather, a "what you wish for will reveal what you didn't even know you needed." For example (SPOILERS AHEAD), Brax and JD got independence from one another -- what JD wanted and needed, and what Brax suspected he needed; Gwen realized her true regrets and became a more selfless person in the process; Patrick was able to overcome the loss of his father; came to see him as a hero, and himself became a hero; Sloane confronted both her past misdeeds and the ugliest part of herself; and Melanie, in death, was reunited with her love, and was able to be with him in a world where he was free of pain and suffering. Even Mr. Roarke got what he wanted, the island and freedom from reliving his wife's passing over and over. When my friend I were done talking about this, we had a definitively higher opinion of the movie! If you're willing to think through the details, I think this movie was enjoyably psychological. Was it a great movie? No, but certainly very enjoyable in my opinion.

That's great. Not so good as sleeping on the floor is so much better as you ground. If you don't understand what is grounding look it up on Google you are correct however, I believe Dean Hodgkiss May be thinking about wind. Warm air will rise but that makes no difference if a cold wind is whistling through The wind could result in a cooler sleeping situation.
They're heavy af so not for backpacking but I've slept in a single on a 30 degree night and it was perfect. Needed this in Virginia Beach when a huge rain storm came through and everything got soaking wet!! Off the ground could mean so many less BUGS!!! All for it!

"…ye have not, because ye ask not." – James 4:2
There is a favorite praise chorus that opens with "I Love You LORD…". Today I release my pitiful dark cloud of loneliness and allow GOD to blow it away. My re-arrangement of my chorus goes, "Forgive me LORD, in my helpless state, my wallow here, now, I must negate. And with your help, I shall overcome. May I never, not again, to it succumb" What impact James 4:2 has on my life today. I am appalled at my weakness and total dependence on my futile attempt at moving the dark cloud in my own strength. Aren't we all a prime example of "DUHbness?" We meet an obstacle and dwell there. No road service can provide passage. It's not like a call to AAA for emergency service. We (I) stew and feel so very put-upon. I share my distress as if I were the only needy one. I've even quoted another of my most favorite songs, "Never Alone", and I still sit here in a quiver. "…ye have not, because ye ask not!" (the exclamation mark is my own) is quietly offered by a Mighty GOD and my dilemma is so loud, I can't hear HIM. "When Will I EVER Learn?" 'Tis a Puzzlement! Dear FATHER, forgive my moments of 'self' and look to YOU for a glimpse of the most important things." That's what i get from My Box of Chocolates. AMEN

Microsoft brings cosmetic changes, redesigns office icons
One of the most iconic and famous software product from Microsoft, Microsoft Office is getting an exciting design overhaul. The iconography of Office is being redesigned by Microsoft as part of a design overhaul to implement unique and fluent design language across all platforms. The new look replaces the flat-design for thicker 3D-like design. Previously, Microsoft refreshed the design of their icons fiver years ago in 2013, after which they focused more on their internet-connected cloud services. Recently they have been working on infusing Office with AI-powered search and suggestion features.
The head design for Microsoft Office, John Friedman, explained the design philosophy of Microsoft office by emphasizing the core focus of their design language which has always been strong colors, he further highlighted the Color differentiates apps and creates personality. He further mentioned that the company has chosen hues for the new icons which are bolder, lighter and friendlier to use. Friedman also mentioned that traditionally the letter occupied two-thirds of the icon while the symbol took one-third. The ratio has now been tweaked and the emphasis is more on the icon rather than the symbol as according to Office's design head, "the symbol speaks more to people's creations."
Ever since the death of Windows Phone, Microsoft has changed their goal and focus and have embraced other platforms in order to spread their ecosystem. The office suite can be found on iOS, MacOS, and Android and the exact purpose of this design overhaul is to have a common design language that transcends all platforms.
Following the latest software design trends which focus more on user experience, design cosmetics and simplicity, Microsoft with this new look has successfully updated itself as the new design definitely looks more modern, the new icons will start rolling out across the Office in the coming month and it will start with the mobile and web versions of the software. Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneDrive, Outlook and Skype will be the first to get the redesign via an update.

SLOW DOWN PONY!!! Can't you read? "This was my attempt", that means he tried his best or just doesn't fully know every single feature. Why do you have to be so rude? Great Job, SFGAzone!

Ya, there are a few flaws... but u even said "My attempt at Kraken" so whoever expects it to be perfect needs to hold their comments. And in my opinion, u did a pretty awesome job.

Concepts lead to a direction which leads to instruction. What I do for clients of course varies, but one thing is certain I don't just take pictures! I'm just as known for saying NO as I'm known for having superbrands from Paris on the client list! To some, the word concept is different but we all know how important the story is! Every story is based on a concept or a theme.
Concepts come with a scope – and here I don't just talk about perception! At the end of the day, we need to generate business! Can photography generate business? It most certainly can – after the product itself, nothing can generate more business than photography! Perhaps you already read between the lines that I don't believe when people say that photography as we know it is a dead fish – it's quite the opposite!
Since the beginning of the Internet, photography has played an even bigger role than ever before. Although some don't understand or appreciate the value of photography hence belief that photography is a cheap fix. Well, that's why some are doing better than others.
I have gathered a variety of concepts just to partly showcase the backbone of the overall concept identity and hint a business scope on the projects.
You will notice that there are no fashion nor make-up concepts presented – this is only because these International companies/brands bought and reserved all rights to the material.
in your wet dreams!
Another pair of jeans…you might think! The concept had to present and promote a new line of commercial jeans – scope was to push towards a sustainable perception for the brand and build a new business in a segment where the only real competing factor is a lower price point.
Sustainable or not for sure using less water to rinse and wash the cotton is a positive factor. This linked to a 'one wash raw' message this concept delivered on newness, perception and business by being the fastest-selling product launch in the history of this big International brand.
In 2019 Antigua decided to aim towards a new market in the overarching tourist business. The concept was to disrupt the usual line of communication when promoting a bounty island-like Antiqua. By combining the fastest growing watersport (Stand Up Paddle) with adventure and luxury we managed to develop a concept with a strong impact on the target audience that initially was scoped. Bringing a new set of tourist to the beautiful island of Antigua.
We brought in to the concept Super yachting simply it's niche and in higher competition than one of many decades – desperate to find new elements to tease and lure in the very demanding customers. At the same time getting the most expensive brand in Stand up Paddleboard to separate and direct the communication away from the competition.
Abstract Observation is one of many personal projects turned into an exhibition concept to be launched in 2021.
The idea is to give each of the comment objects a brief respectful focus and by choice of lighting give each composition different interpretations during the light of day.
This fine art concept is also a necessity for taking photography away from just being a sharp composition where everything in the frame is in some kind of focus.
Forrest management is perhaps one of the most forgotten or uncherished functions of work. But if the world wants to understand nature and learn about natures toolbox of actions. When it comes to sustainability we might want to start right here. The concept of 'Life after Death' was an attempt to make us all understand. Because of the mysterious beauty of the Forrest and respect natures ability to re-energise and reuse.

Messaging platforms such as Telegram are key channels for the dissemination of misinformation and junk news. So far there are very few large-scale studies of how news and political content circulates on these platforms. We use a large open access dataset to analyze which English-language news sources are prevalent on public Telegram channels, the scale of their audience and how information spreads on the platform. Our key results are:
- Junk news sources received a third of all the views on Telegram for the most prominent twelve news sources we examined. Mainstream news sources receive a lot of attention, but two of the junk news sources received more views on Telegram than some well-known mainstream news outlets, including the Guardian or Daily Mail.
- There is a fairly large audience for junk news sources, but articles from these sources rarely circulated widely outside of channels dedicated to these sources.
- The audiences of junk news channels are on average significantly more engaged than the audiences of mainstream news channels. However, with a relatively small user base and no algorithmic timeline, these channels struggle to build a larger audience on Telegram.

Robotic feeder slashes labour costs
A new type of robotic feed pusher – the Joz Moov – has been launched into the UK to help farmers cut labour costs and keep their cows happy.
Developed by Dutch manufacturer Joz, the feeder's path is outlined by tiny transponders – similar in size to a rawl plug – which are installed below the surface so they aren't visible and can't be damaged by machinery.
These transponders guide the rotating Moov along the feed line to push rations up to the barrier so cows can feed whenever they please.

However, it's a steady process with travelling speeds of 6m per minute for 19 hours before a five-hour recharge is required.
Different routes can be set and where wi-fi is available, farmers can check the Moov's progress on their phone or tablet.
Using the Moov frees up a tractor and a person's time, while keeping feed in reach of cows can lead to increased milk yields and calmer cows, we're told.
Available from Stamford Agricultural Services, the Moov will set you back £12,950 (plus VAT) with set-up costs dependent on the farm, while grant funding may be available in some areas of the UK.

9/11 changed my life.
No, I didn't lose a relative in the horrible building collapses. And no, I didn't have any close friends who were first-responders to the scene.
I watched it all happen from the safety of my corporate job in West Michigan. A large TV on a distant wall had the news playing, and like prairie dogs we all stood up in our cubicals to watch.
I remember watching the second plane flying into the tower. I remember seeing people leaping from the burning towers. And I remember seeing the towers collapse.
I remember feeling numb.
And not knowing what to do.
The numbness melded into mourning. And eventually, the mourning ebbed away as life picked up again.
But it wasn't the same life.
People were scared. Scared people don't move the same way. Decisions that could be delayed were. Projects that could be canceled were.
The Dow-Jones dropped 700 points. An existing recession got deeper.
The company I worked for began to slow down. A round of layoffs took some co-workers. I felt bad for them, but was relieved to still have my job.
Six weeks later came another round of layoffs. I said goodbye to more co-workers, feeling bad for them but also resenting the additional workload their absence would mean.
Another six or eight weeks passed.
Then one morning my boss appeared at my desk. He asked me to accompany him to the conference room. Sitting inside were two men I didn't recognize. My boss stammered out some kind of apology and left.
The two men laid out my termination package. Then a security guard stood by while I packed my desk into a cardboard box, then walked me to the door.
I remember MsBoyink saying "What are you doing home so early?"
We were a single income family. MsBoyink was at home full time with our two young children.
9/11 was a successful act of terrorism. Lives were lost. Great physical damage was caused. Millions of people – like me – were indirectly impacted.
But, like after a forest fire, new growth returned. And what grew wasn't what burned.
I looked for a new job. I got offers for projects instead. I started a business to take on those projects. Those projects led to others.
My income became location-independent.
Which, a few years later, gave us the ability to travel by RV full-time.
So on that day, when we rolled into a South Carolina rest area, and saw a semi trailer carrying steel salvaged from the World Trade Towers, it gave me pause.
9/11 had indeed changed our live.
For the better.
I'm not always comfortable with that thought. So many people lost their lives that day.
So we dedicate our travels – and these re-tellings of them – to the Americans that made the ultimate sacrifice on 9/11.
And hope that they would join us in being thankful that, in one small way, the terrorists didn't win.

Topic: Putting things into Perspective
Posted: 23 Apr 2020 at 8:04pm
After reading the last few threads under the topic of "Urgent Petitions to keep RV Campgrounds Open" and seeing a lot of figures and numbers presented I wish to add this to keep it all in proper perspective. I was able to speak at length with my doctor today and she gave me the following information:
10,670,908 deaths from abortion
2,807,866 deaths from starvation
2,061,853 deaths from cancer
1,254,997 deaths from smoking
422,032 deaths from HIV/AIDS
338,886 deaths from traffic fatalities
269,209 deaths from suicide
246,250 deaths from malaria
211,416 deaths from unclean drinking water
122,062 deaths from influenza (flu)
46,491 deaths from coronavirus
Praying and hoping we can work together as a team to curb all these unfortunate deaths.

Jato, I don't think you have your numbers quite right, The number of death in the US alone is almost 60000
If you want something done right, do it yourself.

If anyone has any doubts about the power of a virus to kill, there are a number of videos about the history of the 1918-19 flu epidemic. These things go on for a couple of years or more before they fade into the less lethal background diseases. It infected 500,000,000 (a third of the world's population) people and killed about 50,000,000 and some say as many as 100,000,000 people (there is no clear number because no one really knows).
Successful defeat of a pathogen like SARS-CoV-2 requires drastic steps or we will find ourselves with another pandemic of staggering proportions. For those who like to gamble with their own life, I really don't care, but when you gamble with your neighbors lives and mine, then stay, as the song says, stay the F. at home. You may have your own rights to do what you want, but you don't have the right to kill your neighbors. Like the 1918-19 pandemic, this virus is a sneaker spreading to others long before the infected person knows s/he's infected. And with an Ro of about 2.6, this thing can spread exponentially. No sane person would attend group functions unless he simply doesn't care about his fellow man.

The point of the post is obviously purely political: to say that abortions kill more than everything else put together. But, yeah, I don't know what any of the real numbers are but I'd find them more credible if they were rounded to the nearest thousand. I doubt any knows exactly how many people died from any of these causes. All that is aside from the ongoing debate about Choice.

Charlie, you are correct. Please note the figures given were through the end of March, in other words the first three months of 2020. Yes CV-19 deaths have risen dramatically in the past 3 weeks, and I would suppose the death rates of the other categories have risen as well.
Good news from Newser this morning stating that no new CV-19 cases for 6 days in the Province of Newfoundland, hopefully, we will be seeing other good news about this deadly virus in the days ahead.

I concur. To include abortions on a list of human death statistics is in itself an expression of a religious and/or a political opinion and has no place on this forum in my opinion. There is probably no single issue more divisive.
Here are the most recent US annual disease fatality rates from the CDC website:
Of the accidents, 38K were auto accidents
Then we have:
Opioids: 47K
Homicide: 20K
Covid is at 50K and rising, so it is already at or ahead of opioids, HIV, homicide, suicide, auto accidents, influenza, and will end up ahead of all but heart disease, cancer, stroke, alzheimer's, lower respiratory disease, and maybe diabetes.
But heart disease, cancer, stroke, alzheimer's, COPD, and diabetes are not contagious diseases, and that is a huge difference in terms of response. Public health organizations, quarantines and contact tracing used to be a very important and accepted function of government, but that has withered since the advent of all the vaccines and treatments which have made the contagious diseases the oldest of us recall from our childhoods mostly obsolete.
So now we need to rebuild that government infrastructure, and sadly, like seemingly everything else in America these days, management of a global pandemic has been politicized, and thereby rendered inefficient at best and ineffective at worst. Look at the last contagious disease public health crisis of significance, HIV, and recall how politicized that got. Covid is way more contagious.

Going to leave this open.. but.. be careful where you go with it..
All the numbers change daily.. heck, by the minute. So remember when reading this in a few days, it was as close to correct at the moment..
The covid 19 numbers cause a skewing of other numbers though (IMHO) because many of the underlying health issues of the deceased were going to kill them anyways and many of them are on that list separately. C-19 just hurried it along and put them in a lump.
Trust me when I say it's a rough ride. Some of you may have noticed a month long absence from here, by me, (maybe, maybe not, I do try to be as unobtrusive as possible, LOL) but guess why I wasn't online??
I also think C-19 will peter out here in a bit, just like the flu does every year, giving all them other death tolls time to catch up.
Go wash your hands.

+ 1 to offgrid.
Arguing that in the first few months of a pandemic the death rates are not all that high is disingenuous. It's like arguing about the final score of a baseball game after the top half of the first inning. As one of my favorite philosophers once said: "It ain't over 'til it's over."
The death rate from the flu pandemic of 1918-19 wasn't all that high in its first few months either. Two years later, it had infected a full third of the world's population. Here's a 40 minute review of that disaster: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDY5COg2P2c
We are a very long way from this pandemic being over and really should be thinking about how to manage the next one that comes along, which it inevitably will. Life as we know it will not return to "normal." .... and no, injecting a disinfectant into one's body will not cure SARS-CoV-2 any more than shoving a UVC light rod down one's throat.

If the argument is that some of the deaths shouldn't count because those folks were gonna die anyway and Covid just hurried things along, I don't agree. We don't get to choose the time of someone else's death, that is not our decision to make. I for one don't choose to put my elderly dad on the chopping block so someone can go camping, or my wife (who is pneumonia prone) on a death list so some rich guy can make a killing in the stock market.
I expect my government to do a good job protecting us and our families, that is after all its fundamental purpose. Certainly having a functional economy is part of that, and there is absolutely a valid debate to be had there, but arguing that those sick ppl would have died anyway should not be a part of that discussion (IMHO), it will just foment more division.
There are several examples of east Asian democracies which have successfully controlled this with very low fatality rates, without lockdowns and maintained most of their economic activity while doing so, so its not like we really need to reinvent the wheel here. We would need to adjust our expectations of personal privacy for awhile. Those east Asia democracies decided to do that after SARs in 2003 so were prepared. Small price to pay IMHO compared to what's going on now.
