Everyone is talking about the current market cycle and when the next downturn will occur. Understanding how important cash flow is when it comes to making smart investment decisions is essential, no matter what the market is doing.
Having access to capital is critical. As the market shifts and the value of assets decline, the lack of cash flow from investors portfolios is, unfortunately, often what causes some to make the wrong decision.
"Everyone wants to invest in the stock market when things are great, but when the market goes down and the value of your portfolio declines, it's difficult to not sell and instead be willing to wait it out until the market recovers," says Don Wenner, CEO of DLP Capital Partners. "I believe the reason people struggle to wait it out is because of lack of cash flow."
Cash flow allows you to weather the difficult times.
When things aren't going well with your investments or your business, you'll be struggling, as well. Having cash flow consistently coming in will allow you to weather any market inconsistency. Having a significant portion of your portfolio invested in assets that will continue to produce great cash flow in all market conditions is critical.
Cash flow, when consistently earned, creates massive long term growth.
At some point you may have seen examples of a yield earned consistently each year and how much more money you will have over the course of time. Wenner says, "For example, during the stock market's last 30 year period, from about 1987 to 2017, the market grew at an average of 12.3%. But, if you took that same amount of money you invested at an 8% fixed return, you'd end up with 50% more money than at 12.3%, due to the ups and downs." Consistency is critical.
Cash flow is power.
It puts you in a position to be confident that you'll make the right decision, not a poor decision out of fear or an immediate need. Cash flow allows you to be confident to make new investments, even when things are more volatile. It's a feeling of power, something everyone wants but is more often hard to come by when you're in a recessionary environment. You have to plan for it today.
Some investors think of cash flow as taking a stock that produces great dividends but doesn't generate as high of a growth, in terms of the value of that stock. Typically, people consider cash flow assets as those that generate better cash flow, but ultimately, they will have to give up some future return in exchange for higher level consistency and safety.
"At DLP, we're willing to give up higher yields for less risk and more consistency in returns. We generate a good balance of great returns with consistency and safety," states Wenner. "We're confident that our investment strategies today and over the next several years, will continue to generate great cash flow."
Learn how DLP Capital Partners can help YOU generate consistent cash flow!
Watch our on-demand webinar to learn why cash flow is the foundation of how we invest and how we operate — and how you can generate consistent cash flow of your own.

My three favorite cities in the whole wide world are New Orleans, Montreal,Canada and the one and only Barcelona, Spain (not in any order). I could seriously see myself living in Barcelona. I love the people and their laid back attitude. I remember the hotel clerk telling us, on a Wednesday afternoon, that he was going to the beach after work. We were like, "the beach??? Who goes to the beach on a Wednesday?" The Catalan do!
So the next time (which I hope will be soon) that I go to Barcelona, I want to stay here - at the Hotel Arts Barcelona. The decor, the spa, and the view are all breathtaking. But of course it would be, it's a part of the Ritz-Carlton line of hotels. Which is right up my alley because I am a terrible hotel snob. So if you are going to Barcelona for your honeymoon, see more and make reservations here.

Below is a brief excerpt transcribed from today's edition of The Macro Show hosted by CEO Keith McCullough
Keith McCullough: The U.S. equity market rally started on a Chinese "non-retaliation" headline that the Macro tourists love because they do not have a process or any other choice. But then that was compounded by a very interesting, but not so shocking move in Italian risk. So one way to look at that is through the lens of Italian bond yields that you can see here.
McCullough: This is a real big move not only relative to itself, but relative to everything else as you can see here. This is what we call divergence.
When Germany was up 2 basis points and Italy was down 11, people read that there is less political risk as outgoing Italian Prime Minister Guiseppe Conte now has a mandate to form a new Italian government. That put free money or the FOMO back on the table due to Italian stocks racing to the upside, up 1.5% to 2% on the day.
That's why I'm looking to reshort certain European equities as they approach the top-end of the Hedgeye Risk Ranges this morning. Europe has been and remains in a bearish trend. So we are not going to chase that FOMO-fueled rabbit, but it does provide us an opportunity.
McCullough: We did not come into the day short SPYs, or anything in Europe for that matter including the currency. That provides us with yet another selling opportunity. Where else on the earth are you going to hear the words "selling opportunity"? Everybody on Wall Street loves talking about "buying opportunities," because they're biased and only go one way.
What could possibly go wrong?
Inclusive of yesterday's rally the Russell 2000 is still down -15.5% from where it was at last year's August peak.
What did the stocks actually do on their up day yesterday versus the prior day? Now you can see that it was an up day for stocks. Look at the volume though.
McCullough: The volume is down! Oh the FOMO! Clearly with volume down significantly versus the prior day, one month, three month and one year average, many investors don't believe this rally to lower highs.
So everyone on CNBC is saying "Buy stocks!" If you define stocks by the S&P 500, you'd know that in the last year, the S&P 500 has done nothing. But if you define stocks as the Russell, its down -15.5% in the past year. That's a disaster for stocks there!
Meanwhile, nobody wants to talk about Gold. Gold is up +25% in the past year. But nobody talks about that because we're the only ones that got the whole move right. We call this process #FullCycleInvesting. We're different and we are proud of that.

While a wood slab floating vanity is unique and made from a natural wood slab. For example, this rustic vanity is made from a curly redwood live edge wood slab. Although other wood species such as Maple, juniper, and walnut are also options. This style of wood bathroom vanity is customizable for instance leaving the live edge or cutting clean lines. As well as adding a chain mounting system or a rustic mirror made from a live edge burl wood slab. Think about it we spend time each day in this space why not make it enjoyable. Indulge and let your hair down and design that perfect zen bathroom with a floating vanity.
Wood slab floating vanity
Along with the perfect zen bathroom why not add rustic style natural wood furniture made from ethically sourced wood. Such as natural wood coffee tables and live edge dining table the options are endless. Simply said the only limitation is the imagination.

Asia/Pacific August 15 - 31, 2019, SR1433
This trip is now closed. Please explore our other trip opportunities at www.ghotrips.org.
We welcome physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, physical therapists, and nurses on this trip.
This will be GHO's sixth trip to serve in this remote island in a spiritually strategic Asia-Pacific nation. God has greatly blessed our ministry and we trust that He is keeping this door of ministry open to accomplish His eternal purposes. We are very excited about returning to minister both medically and spiritually. A detailed Team Orientation Manual is available if interested (see email address below).
The GHO team will fly into an international city in this nation and overnight there before flying together to our destination (the domestic airfare for this additional flight is included in your trip fee). We partner with a local Christian hospital, as well as an indigenous mission, and Healthcare Christian Fellowship (HCF). HCF will select young Christian physicians, dentists and nurses from many different regions of this country to serve with us as our translators. The relationships that develop over the two week trip are rich and last a lifetime.
We will provide free clinics in various locations on this underserved island, all of which are prayerfully chosen by our National Partners. Such clinic sites include the local Christian hospital and more remote sites including health centers, schools and/or churches. We are privileged to work alongside a seasoned team of indigenous spiritual counselors. The Lord has shown our GHO team much favor on many levels in the past and we pray for His continued blessings. The results of our GHO ministry labors continue throughout the year with the efforts of our ministry partners.
We serve at the invitation of the regional governor and provincial health director. We will obtain socio-cultural visas and seek formal temporary licensure. After the clinic days are completed, the health officials have requested that some GHO participants stay and provide two days of training for the local physicians, dentists and nurses. This is optional. Details will be worked out as God builds His team for His glory.
The trip will be demanding physically, professionally and spiritually. This is a blessed opportunity to share the love of Christ, while growing more into the likeness of our Savior. The island is beautiful, our National Partners are extraordinary, the patients are receptive to the gospel, the weather is pleasant, and most importantly the harvest is plentiful! We have seen much fruit thus far, though the work is far from done.
Please prayerfully consider joining this team and serving the least, the last and the lost. If you are interested in obtaining more detailed information, please contact Dr. O'Callaghan by email at [email protected] or phone at 616-886-2817.

Let's see what I have written on my planner:
1. Do the BC Calc homework and study for the daily quiz.
2. Work on the AP Gov research paper, finish the AP Gov
3. Prepare for a lit in-class essay, read Hamlet.
4. Finish the AP Physics lab, finish the physics project.
5. Study for a AP Bio test, and start on Chapter 24 Reading
Guide Questions.
6. On top of that, finish writing and editing my Common
Application essay and perfect the supplements for the co
lege I'm applying to with Early Action.
7. Also, prepare for the SAT 2 Bio Subject Test in two
And let's not forget, I'm currently writing this journalism article 1 day late.
Things are going great!
I knew taking five AP classes wouldn't be a breeze, but school homework and college apps is just overwhelming.
To be honest, teachers actually don't give that much homework for each class; homework probably takes about 45 minutes to an hour per class.
But with extracurriculars like basketball, student council, work, and you know, hanging out with friends, I get about four to five hours of sleep every night.
Sleep deprivation makes the stress worse. But you can't possibly take a day off to catch up on sleep because missing school just means taking the quiz or in-class essay at a later date. It's a vicious cycle.
A lot of teachers are understanding in that on the first day of school, they all said something along the lines of, "If it's 10pm and you still haven't started the homework for this class, you should just go to sleep."
Thanks, but that's not really how it works. Maybe I'll get a couple extra hours of sleep that night, but the homework load just keeps getting bigger the longer I put it off.
So realistically, I'm just shaving off two hours of sleep from the next day. That doesn't solve my problem.
Only two teachers I've had have successfully addressed this issue. One of them, whom I had junior year, allowed students to take a nap during class when they really needed it. Nobody abused this privilege, surprisingly; I, myself, only used it once.
But the comfort of knowing that if I needed to, I could take a break during class, was a pretty big stress reliever.
Another teacher who I have this year has a "3 day grace period" system where you can turn in homework for full credit for up to three days late.
So far, I've turned in my homework on time, but again, the comfort of knowing that I can get an extension takes some of the weight off.
This has also affected the time I get to school. Up until last year, I wanted to get to school early (7:40ish) to see my friends and chill.
Now, I consider myself early when I get to school at 7:55. I've already gotten several blue tardy slips. Sorry I tried to get 10 extra minutes of sleep in the morning.
I know it's not the AP teachers' fault they have to cover so much material throughout the year, and I know it's not their fault we have so many other things going on in our lives.
But if they could be a little easier on the homework and the quizzes and tests over the next couple months, I promise I'll make an effort to show up to class next semester when senioritis kicks in!

Interesting story in the Canberra Times on Fiona Wright's woes as her restaurant and catering empire comes to an end.
Ms Wright says she feels humiliated, "like a spectacular failure".
"It's torture because it looks to me as if I'm the greatest liar in the world," she said.
Now living on Centrelink payments and sharing a house in Melbourne, she feels "gutted, absolutely gutted" for her former staff and suppliers caught up in the collapse of her catering business a year ago.
The catering company was run with her then business partner, former Wallabies and Brumbies player Jeremy Paul. He was last reported to be playing for the Terrigal Trojans rugby club on the Central Coast. The pair no longer speak.

Rev. Mysti-Michelle Pruett, B.Msc.
Mysti has earned her Bachelor of Metaphysical Science, B.Msc., from the University of Metaphysics.. She is also an ordained metaphysical minister, having received her ordination and practitioner diploma from the International Metaphysical Ministry University Seminary.
Mysti brings over 18 years of credentialed teaching experience along with a M.A. in Education to her practice as a Certified Metaphysical Practitioner and Ordained Metaphysical Minister who uses Spiritual Mind Counseling techniques along with her gifts of oration, writing, and poetry to provoke the potential of all souls in which she encounters.
Mysti is currently a candidate for a master's degree followed by a Doctor of Philosophy Ph.D., specializing in Transpersonal Counseling degree. She is serving to bring unconditional love and light to the students, families, and communities she serves. Mysti frequently travels to sacred sites, Sedona AZ being her most utilized place, where she establishes powerful healing vortex points for her clients, and she draws on such energetic coordinates during the lunar hour of power mediation.
Mysti considers herself to be a positive witness of the transformative power of the inner source of life. She serves the source of life through several expressions or careers such as teaching, counseling, lecturing, authoring, meditating, decreeing, and ceremonializing the everyday sacred spaces of life.
For the last eighteen years, she has served as a suburban / pre-inner-city high school teacher of courses in Language Arts and elective courses for College and Career Readiness as well as courses for Personal Growth. In the adult education sector, she has instructed meditation groups through a variety of modes using Somatic Therapy and Neuro Linguistic Programming. Mysti's greatest excitement is to facilitate souls through the psychological process of self-improvement as out pictured in alchemical symbolism of the cosmos and the individual systems of belief that are most influential to the client.
In 1999, Rev. Mysti began reading positive psychology, aspect psychology, and material from the New Thought movement back in her days of study at the University of California, Santa Barbara (1997-2001). Between 2006 and 2012, Mysti set foot upon a journey of self-discovery and a journey of investigating origins- human origins. This is when she learned about the indigenous prophesies that describe what many contemporaries refer to as The Divine Matrix and Mysti began to study under several scientific spiritualist and early multiverse theorist and other a New Thought cross over authors who began publishing works that incorporated the scientific field of theoretical quantum mechanics.
She then began to explore more deeply, the indigenous texts and began studying the Hopi, the Maya, the Aztecan, the Toltec teachings, the Quiero people of Peru, and many other ancient prophesies all of which juxtaposed her Baptist Christian upbringing. During those early years of discovery, Mysti visited sacred sites beginning in Sedona, AZ down to Chichen Itza, Mexico meditating and communing with the Gods of the ancients. She bathed in the sacred waters of the Cenote at Ik Kil, Mexico and she remembers emerging for breath after a 50 foot dive and feeling like she had truly taken a new, first breath.
She went on that year of 2012 to receive two very prestigious awards for her effective teaching: one award from the California League of High Schools and another Alumnus of the Year award from her graduate institution. Her career was at an apex of successful positive impact. As a teacher, she was working within the public educational sector and also had a hand in various higher education initiatives serving African American and Latino populations.
Simultaneous to writing her Master's Thesis and Doctoral Dissertation in Metaphysical Sciences and Transpersonal Learning Theory, Mysti is both editing and writing several novels, essays, and other texts with intent to begin publishing them in the upcoming year and decade of 2020 and beyond. Below are a list of upcoming titles.
Invisible Woman: An epic psychological thriller which employs themes of futurism and feminism in a format modeled after Ralph Ellison's novel Invisible Man.
See Chell's by Seashores: A collection of oral and written poetry recorded over the course of the author's lifetime.
The Intuitive Teacher: An instructional manual of teacher permission slips allowing teachers permission to tap inward and access inner power, authentic authority, and entrepreneurial freedom.
The Threefold Flame of Futurism: A metaphysical text of instruction in finding one's true multi-dimensional life purpose and quantum-life path.
Creating A Sacred Classroom: A threefold process of using local and distant environments to enhance creative capacity for teaching and learning.
The Frequency of Roses: A mystical view of an earthly mother's love and life journey interceding the Cosmic Mother force beyond the veil to alchemically sublimate crimes against the Divine Feminine Principle.
Is My Blackness Invisible To You?: A reflective memoir and scholarly examination of the racial dynamics of one perceived as "Ambiguous in Race."
Minding Black Minds: A contemporary review of African American student achievement in secondary schools nation-wide with a call for return to what W.E.B. Du Bois coined "The Souls of Black Folks" allowing for the veil of "double consciousness" to be pierced for progress. This publication includes Mysti's critical poetic work entitled, "Education, Unbox Me!"
The Subversive Pedagogue: An examination of liberation pedagogy: teaching to transgress using film and music from various genres, including Hip-Hop, to create a thought-road to freedom.
The Ancestral Obligations for Reparations: A litigation review of a decade long legal battle between Mysti's Grandfather Charles Johnson and the U.S. government for back payments to their Great-Great-Grandfather Emory Allen, of the 55th Brigade, who followed the 54th, the very first African American "Glory" soldiers of the Civil War. This historical narrative includes Mysti's family's founding and legacy to the Underground Railroad Society of Cass County, Michigan as well as the historical account of her Great Grandfather Charles Emory Allen who helped found the Detroit Michigan Chapter of the N.A.A.C.P.
"Dearest Strangers of THAT Bright Night" This Ode to the Victims of the Isla Vista Massacre who lost their lives in front of Mysti's college residence was written and orated by Mysti at Storke Tower on the campus of the University of California, Santa Barbara 2001 to commemorate the victims.
Mysti's metaphysical journey began when she was four years old during a dream encounter in which she was visited by an inexplicably loving yet otherworldly giant green orb that was floating about her dreaming consciousness and vibrating the highest form of unconditional love and light that she has ever encountered. That dream has stayed with Mysti for her entire life. She has searched to find that orb ever since and has discovered fractals of that great love among the many experiences she has had on this sacred earth.

To put New Zealand back on the map, New Zealand prime minister Jacinda Ardern and Rhys Darby, famous for New Zealand comedy smash 'Flight Of The Conchords' have teamed up in a 2.5-minute spoof video.
The tongue-in-cheek tourism campaign raises a serious point: that New Zealand is frequently missed off world maps.
As a consequence of this oversight, a subreddit, Maps-WithoutNZ, was created last year, where nearly 30,000 subscribers can submit their examples of the latest blunder.
Darby's investigations reveal that New Zealand is missing from maps in Getty's stock photo library, Starbucks cafes, Ikea, in-flight magazines and at New York's Central Park Zoo.
In the film, an alarmed Darby comes up with a number of conspiracy theories to explain the country's exclusion, including accusing Australia of "stealing" their tourists, England of "trying to get rid of the All Blacks once and for all" and France of being threatened by New Zealand's global wine industry.
The #getnzonthemap campaign is part of a drive to encourage more visitors to the country, known by Maoris as The Land of the Long White Cloud.

This Dominican Republic wedding in Punta Cana was just a dream. It was sunny and warm and everyone was happy. I don't think anyone hopes for anything other than those three things on their wedding day. Chessa and Chase chose the Dominican Republic for their wedding and had their closest family and friends fly down from Minnesota to watch them say I do at sunset on the beach. I love these intimate weddings because I really get to know the family and guests better than I do with larger weddings. One of Chessa's bridesmaids was also a bridesmaid in another wedding that I shot last year which is always fun to see familiar faces. And the speeches, oh, the speeches. The speeches at this wedding were cracking me up and I still smile when I think about them randomly.
I wish I could relive this Dominican Republic wedding day over and over again because it was that perfect. So excited to do more weddings down in the beautiful country- which gracious, lovely people- of the Dominican Republic. Such a wonderful job I get to have!

August 25, 1916: The National Park Service was created when President Woodrow Wilson signed legislation that mandated the agency "to conserve the scenery and the natural and historic objects and wildlife therein, and to provide for the enjoyment of the same in such manner and by such means as will leave them unimpaired for the enjoyment of future generations."
August 26, 1789: The Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen is approved by the National Constituent Assembly of France. The fundamental document of the French Revolution defined the individual and collective rights of all the estates of the realm as universal. Influenced by the doctrine of "natural right", the rights of man are held to be universal: valid at all times and in every place, pertaining to human nature itself.
August 27, 410 CE: The Sack of Rome which had begun on August 24, 410, came to an end. The city was attacked by the Visigoths, led by Alaric I. This was the first time in almost 800 years that Rome had fallen to an enemy. The previous sack of Rome had been accomplished by the Gauls under their leader Brennus in 387 BCE. The sacking of 410 is seen as a major landmark in the fall of the Western Roman Empire. St. Jerome, living in Bethlehem at the time, wrote that "The City which had taken the whole world was itself taken."
August 28, 1565: Pedro Menéndez de Avilés sighted land near St. Augustine, Florida and founds the oldest continuously occupied European-established city in what would become the continental United States.The Spanish crown had approached Menéndez to fit out an expedition to Florida on the condition that he explore and colonize the region as King Philip's adelantado, and eliminate the Huguenot French settlers, whom the Catholic Spanish considered to be dangerous heretics. Menéndez was in a race to reach Florida before the French captain Jean Ribault, who was on a mission to secure Fort Caroline, near present day Jacksonville. The two fleets met in a brief skirmish off the coast, but it was not decisive. On 28 August 1565, the feast day of St. Augustine of Hippo, Menéndez's crew finally sighted land. They landed shortly after to found the settlement they named St. Augustine.
August 29, 1949: The Soviet Union tested its first atomic bomb, known as First Lightning or Joe 1, at Semipalatinsk, Kazakhstan. The explosion yielded 22 kilotons of TNT, similar to the American Gadget and Fat Man bombs. In order to test the effects of the new weapon, workers constructed houses made of wood and bricks, along with a bridge, and a simulated metro in the vicinity of the test site. Armoured hardware and approximately 50 aircraft were also brought to the testing grounds, as well as over 1,500 animals to test the bomb's effects on life. The resulting data showed the explosion to be 50% more destructive than originally estimated by its engineers.
August 30, 1967: Thurgood Marshall was confirmed as the first African-American Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States. Before becoming a judge, Marshall was a lawyer who was best known for his high success rate in arguing before the Supreme Court and for the victory in Brown v. Board of Education, a decision that desegregated public schools. He served on the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit after being appointed by President John F. Kennedy and then served as the Solicitor General after being appointed by President Lyndon Johnson in 1965.
August 31, 1876: The Ottoman Sultan Murat V was deposed and succeeded by his brother Abd-ul-Hamid II, who would be the last Sultan to exert effective control over the Ottoman Empire. Abd-ul-Hamidd II oversaw a period of decline in the power and extent of the Empire, until he was deposed on 27 April 1909. During his tenure, he was responsible for both modernization of the Ottoman Empire, as well as exerting maximum control over its affairs. Changes included: rationalization of the bureaucracy; the ambitious Hijaz Railway project; the creation of a modern system of personnel records (1896); establishment of an elaborate system for population registration and control over the press; systematization of officials salaries (1880); first modern law school (1898).

July 28, 1932: President Herbert Hoover orders the United States Army to forcibly evict the "Bonus Army" of World War I veterans gathered in Washington, D.C. The veterans had assembled to demand cash-payment redemption of their service certificates promised with the passage of the World War Adjusted Compensation Act of 1924. Although not redeemable until 1945, each service certificate issued to a qualified veteran soldier, bore a face value equal to the soldier's promised payment plus compound interest. The principal demand of the Bonus Army was the immediate cash payment of their certificates.
July 29, 1907: Sir Robert Baden-Powell set up the Brownsea Island Scout camp in Poole Harbour on the south coast of England. The camp ran from August 1 to August 9, 1907, and is regarded as the foundation of the Scouting movement.
July 30, 1619: In Jamestown, Virginia, the first representative assembly in the Americas, the House of Burgesses, convened for the first time. The House was established by the Virginia Company, who created the body as part of an effort to encourage English craftsmen to settle in North America and to make conditions in the colony more agreeable for its current inhabitants. The House's first session accomplished little, as it was cut short by an outbreak of malaria.
July 31, 1703: Daniel Defoe is placed in a pillory for the crime of seditious libel after publishing a politically satirical pamphlet entitled The Shortest-Way with the Dissenters; Or, Proposals for the Establishment of the Church. In it he ruthlessly satirized both the High church Tories and those Dissenters who hypocritically practiced so-called "occasional conformity." Though it was published anonymously, the true authorship was quickly discovered and Defoe was arrested and charged with seditious libel. Defoe was found guilty. He was fined, sentenced to public humiliation in a pillory, and to an indeterminate length of imprisonment which would only end upon the discharge of the punitive fine. According to legend, the publication of his poem Hymn to the Pillory caused his audience at the pillory to throw flowers instead of the customary harmful and noxious objects and to drink to his health.
August 1, 1960: Dahomey declared independence from France under the presidency of Hubert Maga. For the next twelve years, ethnic strife contributed to a period of turbulence, as there were several coups and regime changes. On October 26, 1972, Lt. Col. Mathieu Kérékou overthrew the ruling triumvirate to become president and stated that the country would not "burden itself by copying foreign ideology, and wants neither Capitalism, Communism, nor Socialism". Later he announced that the country was officially Marxist, nationalized the petroleum industry and banks, and renamed the country to the People's Republic of Benin.
August 2, 1923: Warren G, Harding died unexpectedly in San Francisco, California, and Vice President, Calvin Coolidge was sworn in as the 30th President of the United States. Doctors issued a release stating that the cause of Harding's death was "some brain evolvement, probably an apoplexy." Mrs. Harding refused to allow an autopsy. In retrospect, scholars speculate that Harding had shown physical signs of cardiac insufficiency with congestive heart failure in the preceding weeks. Naval medical consultants who examined the president in San Francisco concluded he had suffered a heart attack. Dr. Wilbur included in his memoirs a letter from Dr. Charles Miner Cooper in support of their cerebral apoplexy diagnosis, based on Harding's last observed condition, while acknowledging that no final determination could be made.
August 3, 1678: Robert LaSalle completed construction of the Le Griffon, the first known ship built on the Great Lakes. The explorer sought a Northwest Passage to China and Japan in order to extend France's trade. Creating a fur trade monopoly with the Native Americans would finance his quest and building Le Griffon was an "essential link in the scheme."

Yankees manager Billy Martin, had noticed a large amount of pine tar on Brett's bat and requested that the umpires inspect his bat. The umpires ruled that the amount of pine tar on the bat exceeded the amount allowed by rule, nullified Brett's home run, and called him out. As Brett was the third out in the ninth inning with the home team in the lead, the game ended with a Yankees win.
July 25, 1894: The First Sino-Japanese War began when the Battle of Pungdo took place offshore of Asan, Chungcheongnam-do Korea between cruisers of the Imperial Japanese Navy of Meiji Japan and components of the Beiyang Fleet of the Empire of China.

July 26, 1948: President Harry S. Truman signed Executive Order 9981 desegregating the military of the United States. The order also established a committee to investigate and make recommendations to the civilian leadership of the military to implement the policy.

The last of the all-black units in the United States military would not finally be abolished until September 1954.
July 27, 1794: Maximilien Robespierre was arrested after encouraging the execution of more than 17,000 "enemies of the Revolution." His goal had been to use the guillotine to create what he called a "republic of virtue." Robespierre argued, "Terror is nothing more than speedy, severe and inflexible justice; it is thus an emanation of virtue; it is less a principle in itself, than a consequence of the general principle of democracy, applied to the most pressing needs of the patrie." Terror was thus a tool to accomplish his overarching goals for democracy.

This is Sana Khan sharing another exciting day of my life where I finally learned how to use chopsticks (Check the entire experience in the video placed at the end).
After having a burger at Cafe 2.0, we hopped to Hershey's bakery which was jam-packed, there was a queue in which we had to wait approx. for 10-15 minutes before placing the order. I was amazed to see a place in Bandra that does not accept cards. Yes, you need to pay them in cash but considering the number of people and price it was understood why swiping cards would be difficult.
As you can see in the video below there is no sitting area available, thanks to my "Dilo ka shooter" – my scooter played a role of my dining table where I placed my Chicken Fried rice, spring roll, paneer wrap and chicken burger for just Rs. 380 which is damn good.
I later got cheesecake which is priced Rs. 110, which is not bad at all! After having such a heavy meal my diet conscious body needed some Black Coffee which made me hop into the next place Coffee Culture.
Watch the video below to experience the food with us!
If you want me to visit your favorite restaurant or check out a place, all you need to do is to share the details in the comments section below! OR if you want to accompany me and my team then message me on my Facebook page – WittyScoop.com

Tesla late Wednesday announced that Robyn Denholm would take over as the chair of the company's board, effective immediately.
Denholm presently serves as the CFO and Head of Strategy at Australia's largest telecommunications company, Telstra, according to a news release. She will replace the company's CEO, Elon Musk.
"I believe in this company, I believe in its mission and I look forward to helping Elon and the Tesla team achieve sustainable profitability and drive long-term shareholder value," Denholm said in a statement.
Musk gave up the chairman's role earlier this year under a settlement with the Securites and Exchange Commisison, but remains CEO of the company.
Tesla said Denholm will temporarily step down as the chair of Tesla's audit committee as well, until she exits Telstra. She has been on the company's board as an independent director since 2014, Tesla said.
"Robyn has extensive experience in both the tech and auto industries, and she has made significant contributions as a Tesla Board member over the past four years in helping us become a profitable company," Musk said in a statement. "I look forward to working even more closely with Robyn as we continue accelerating the advent of sustainable energy."
Besides a new chair, Tesla was also ordered to appoint two new, independent members to its board. The settlement stemmed from a lawsuit the SEC filed charging Musk with misleading investors in August with a tweet that said he had "funding secured" for taking the company private.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Reminder to the 'Civility Police': Reagan Savaged Carter and the Democrats With the Truth

Iconic Stylist Vidal Sassoon Dies.
- by Corrie Shenigo
- posted at 6:44 pm
- May 9, 2012
RIP. The L.A. Times is reporting that iconic hairstylist and entrepreneur Vidal Sassoon has passed away at the age of 84. Sassoon enjoyed a reign as arguably the most famous hairstylist in history, credited with inventing the modern, angular, low-maintenance cut of the swinging 60′s, giving Mia Farrow that famous crop cut for the 1967 film Rosemary's Baby, and popularizing the asymmetrical bob. We can all thank Sassoon for encouraging the end of that time consuming process of "setting your hair" into shape, in favor of shiney, natural hair that actually moves.
Sassoon started as a shampoo boy at the age of 14 and by 26 had opened his first London salon, achieving international success in the 60′s and 70′s. After penning the book A Year of Beauty and Health with his then-wife Beverly Sassoon the pair moved to the states, with the hair guru eventually selling his name to Procter & Gamble to use in market his hair-care products, using the now iconic slogan "If you don't look good, we don't look good." Then in 2003, Sassoon sued Procter & Gamble for cheapening his products in favor of their other hair-care brands, settling out of court pre-trial and later cutting ties with his eponymous brand.
Stylists everywhere owe a pretty big thank you to Sassoon for putting the celebrity stylist in the spotlight, and encouraging the trend of cross marketing and entrepreneurial success in the industry. For more on Sassoon's career, check out the 2012 feature-length documentary titled "Vidal Sassoon: The Movie."

The dog days of summer are behind us, and September is ushering in the unofficial start of fall. Shoppers are recovering from their spending on summer travel and back-to-school shopping, but that doesn't mean there aren't other reasons to shop! Think: tailgating parties, Halloween and the holidays.
Labor Day weekend kicked off a month of opportunities for shoppers to save in a variety of areas. The long weekend brought the end of summer, so seasonal items will be at or near their lowest prices. Shoppers can also look for savings this month on big-ticket items like appliances, mattresses, airfare and Apple products.
Jet Set for Less
Airline tickets are commonly discounted in early fall. Travelers can find the best deals on flights approximately eight weeks before the intended departure date, making Labor Day the perfect time to schedule flights for December. Pro tip: Set up fare alerts, so you can make sure you are getting the best price.
- Frontier: up to 50% off your bookings
- Alaska Airlines: Up to 35% off
Sleep Sweet This September
According to the Better Sleep Council, it is best to replace a mattress every seven to eight years. Labor Day is the time to make it happen. Shoppers like to take their time before making such a large investment, and the three-day weekend gives them the opportunity to look around and test-drive different options. Shoppers who are in the market for a new bed can expect to see Labor Day savings as deep as 60% off, with some sales continuing longer.
- Mattress Firm: RetailMeNot Exclusive of 11% off your order and 8% cash back
- Wayfair: Up to 75% off mattresses
Big Savings on Big-Ticket Items
Labor Day will also kick off sales on appliances. Throughout the month, look for savings on refrigerators, stoves and washers and dryers. Even smaller appliances and kitchen gadgets will have prices slashed. Luckily, trends don't come and go as frequently in this category, so older models are just as functional. A word to the wise, though: If you aren't in a rush to purchase smaller household appliances, like vacuums and kitchen items, hold off until November because Black Friday and Cyber Monday will have discounts worth the wait.
- Home Depot: Labor Day Savings! Up to 40% Off Appliance special buys
- Best Buy: Appliance Labor Day Sale! Up to 40% Off regular Appliance Top Deals
Apple Pickin'
While the tech press has predicted the new Apple iPhone 11 will be available in September this is still a good time to find discounts on older models. Those who don't mind missing out on the latest features and updates can save big money on prior years' models. This month is a great time to snag a new mobile phone, computer or iPad, but most other electronics will be discounted in November as part of the Black Friday shopping celebration.
- Apple: Up to $200 off Macs with Apple Student pricing
- Best Buy: Up to $300 off during the Apple sale event
A Stylish September
Retailers typically discount apparel items after they've been in the stores for about two months. Back-to-school staples were released at the end of June and early July, so Labor Day weekend will be a great time to stock up on things you may not have purchased yet for your back-to-school haul. Pro tip: Hold off on buying outerwear and denim, as the best prices will come down just as the temperature does.

Flame retardants may come in handy in terms of reducing the risk of accidental fires but at what cost? A new study found that chemicals found in flame retardants may be harmful to women, affecting fertility by causing hormone disruptions in females.
Although Department of Environment Health at Harvard Chan School research fellow Courtney Carignan said although exposure to these chemicals increases the risk of infertility in women, there are many contributors that affect a woman's fertility.
That said, she advises the general public to be careful in an effort to reduce exposure to these chemicals. Unfortunately, these chemicals are everywhere including in the air we breathe.
Flame retardant chemicals found to interfere with women's fertility
(Natural News) A study done at the Fertility Clinic at Massachusetts General Hospital concluded that organophosphate flame retardants (PFRs), which are utilized in the manufacture of such products as upholstered furniture, gym mats, baby products, and yoga mats, negatively impacted women's reproductive health.
Flame-retardant materials are popular because manufacturers wish to accommodate consumer demand for products that burn easily. However, what we don't know is that the chemicals that make these products flame-resistant could possibly leach into our bodies and affect our ability to procreate. Unfortunately, we can't hide from these chemicals because they're everywhere: in building materials, in clothing, in electronics. Even the very air that we breathe might contain some of these chemicals.
According to Department of Environment Health at Harvard Chan School research fellow Courtney Carignan, "These findings suggest that exposure to PFRs may be one of many risk factors for lower reproductive success. They also add to the body of evidence indicating a need to reduce the use of these flame retardants and identify safer alternatives."
For his part, Professor Russ Hauser, Carignan's colleague at Harvard University's school of public health, said, "Couples undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF) and trying to improve their chances of success by reducing their exposure to environmental chemicals may want to opt for products that are flame-retardant free." (Related: Infertility Linked to Common Household Chemicals.)
The flame retardant pentabromodiphenyl ether (PentaBDE), which was used in polyurethane foam, was phased out over 10 years ago after it was found to cause ill effects to health in animal and epidemiological studies. PFRs were found to be safer; the only caveat was that they caused hormone disruption in women.
The study specifically found that these flame retardant chemicals inhibited the production of thyroid and sex hormones in animals, and jeopardized embryo development.
The researchers studied urine samples from 211 women who were undergoing IVF at the Massachusetts General Hospital Fertility Center from 2005 to 2015. The study resulted in findings that showed that the urinary metabolites of three PFRs – tris( 1,3-dichloro-2-propyl)phosphate (TDCIPP), triphenyl phosphate (TPHP), and mono-ITP – were identified in more than 80 percent of the participants.

Skateboard knee pads serve only one purpose – to protect your knees from injury while you are out there skating. This amazing safety gear has been designed in such a way that you no longer have to worry about your knees getting injured if you happen to fall during skating.
So, if you are searching for the best knee pads for skateboarding, consider following the guidelines laid out in this article to select the one that suits your needs the most.
I usually tell folks around me, and you can ignore every other thing when you participate in sports activities, safety gear such as knee braces is not one of them.
The reason is that it doesn't take much to fall while you are out there skateboarding. Trust me; even the professionals do fall occasionally. And when that happens, only a knee brace can keep your knees safe from either minor or severe injuries.
Who needs skateboarding knee brace?
From the brief explanation I just gave above, it wouldn't take much for us to answer the question "who needs skateboarding knee brace?"
If you are skateboarding on a ramp or downhill, you will agree with me that you falling now and then is not an uncommon thing. Especially when attempting a new trick.
It doesn't even matter if you have gained some level of stability on your board or if you are starting to learn skateboarding; having a knee brace that you can easily use is a necessity. I will tell you why in a jiffy.
So, do not just dismiss it as something for rookies, newbies or beginners as you may like to put it. It is a piece of equipment you must never do without skateboarding.
Recommended: Top Kickflip skateboard
Importance of wearing the best knee brace for skateboarding
Is it necessary I wear the best knee brace while I'm out there skateboarding? Why can't I wear anyone at all I can place in my hands-on?
Well, you must wear top quality braces for your knees during skateboarding. Below are just a few reasons you must never overlook them:
- According to stats, knee injuries are the most common injuries in skateboarding, and It is so common due to loss of balance, failed trick attempts, or any other reason at all.
- Even with a knee brace, you can still hurt your knees bad if the brace is just some random low-quality stuff that you can easily find around.
- Not only will a top-quality brace keep your knees safe wearing one will also guarantee you some level of comfort while you try to bend your knees during skateboarding
- There are some braces out there you buy, and you can't quickly move or bend your knees with them. Getting the best for yourself is a sure way to worry less about comfort.
Recommended: Life jacket for skateboarding
Factors to consider when choosing skateboarding knee pads
Knee braces are not just something you can pick from anywhere anyhow. They require you to put some certain things into consideration when choosing them.
Doing this will help you secure the very best to help you stay safe while skateboarding. Unless you want to become a regular patient at one hospital or the other, you must put in some efforts into selecting the best pads for your knees.
I have heard stories of professional skateboarders who didn't last long in the game due to knee injuries. Maybe you have too. You don't want that to be your story.
What are these factors one needs to consider when choosing some skateboard knee braces? You will find the answers below, beginning from the least to the most essential element.
How easy is it to wear and remove the braces? You might not consider this to be very important, but it is, depending on how you go about skateboarding.
If you are someone like me who doesn't like to waste much time wearing or removing my equipment so I can go ahead with other things, you might want to test how easy it is for you to put them on or off before buying.
This is one of the most critical factors you must pay some real attention to. You don't want to wear something that will end up hurting your knees due to the materials it is made of.
A right skateboard pad for your knee's protection should be made of materials like foam, fabric, Polyurethane, Kevlar, VPD, etc.
It should have both the interior and the exterior properly built with stretchy materials that can absorb imparts to ensure your knees unharmed during a fall.
The Thickness
For a beginner, you will need a quite thick-knee brace. The thicker, the better.
If it is too light, then your knees can quickly receive some impacts when you fall either due to a failed attempt to do the trick or for any other reason.
While going for these thicker knee pads, ensure you test them to be sure they feel comfortable before putting your money down for one.
The reason is that though the thickness is a plus, if it is too thick you may find them a little bit uncomfortable and so skating with them will be an issue.
This is the most essential feature you need to consider before putting your money down for a skateboarding knee brace.
The size of the brace must match the size of your knee well. Not too tight and not also lose. Usually, the shop where you want to buy it from will have a measuring tape that you can easily use to check if the one you have interest in buying is precisely your size.
In Summary
The desire to get the best knee pads for skateboarding is familiar with every skateboarder out there who values his health and want to stay safe while he is riding on his board.
Unfortunately, not everyone ends up getting the exact kind he or she desires. That is mostly because not everyone knows how to choose the best out of so many brands out there.
However, if you follow the guidelines laid out in this post before going to buy one for yourself, you will not just get the right kind for yourself, you will come home with the very best.
I hope you find this article useful.

Interesting review of the surly ECR as a bikepacking rig
Above: An off-color Surly ECR on the AZT near the town of Pine. The ECR continues in the tradition of Surly's adventure touring bikes, including the Troll and Ogre, each of which fulfill some of the promise of early mountain bikes, once clad with useful features since forgotten on many modern machines. This frame is a different shade than those being released this week, also shown with 29×3.0″ Knard tires mounted to 'skinny' rims, a temporary situation.
Introducing the Surly ECR
The Surly ECR is an off-the-beaten-path touring bike designed for 29×3.0″ tires, dubbed 29+, a platform first released on the Surly Krampus last year. The frame features attachment points for racks, fenders, water bottles, and lights. The geometry is characterized by a low bottom bracket and long chainstays, for a supremely stable ride, with or without a load. A short top tube affords a comfortable upright position for long…
