Eugene McDaniels: “Jagger The Dagger” from Headless Heroes Of The Apocalypse (1971)
The constant for Gravediggaz’ “Nowhere To Run, Nowhere To Hide”. It’s the second cut featured from Headless Heroes..., a somewhat chilled-out cut from Eugene McDaniels and back-up vocalist Carla Cargill with trickling strings from Miroslav Vitous, Gary King, Alphonse Mouzon on drums, and Harry Whitaker on keys. Meanwhile, RZA and Prince Paul took much of the intro- and ran with it for a good three-and-a-half minutes, turning what was once relaxed into something that’s up to no good.

“ ... Alberta’s growing outbreaks follow in the wake of deadly events in the U.S. where meat-packing plants have become COVID-19 incubators. ...
... Two days before the Cargill shutdown, Alberta Agriculture Minister Devin Dreeshen tweeted to workers “their worksite is safe.” ...
... Meat-packing plants, which crowd workers into close quarters, now vie with nursing homes as places conducive to viral spread.
“Initially our concern was long-term care facilities,” said Gary Anthone, Nebraska’s chief medical officer, last week. “If there’s one thing that might keep me up at night, it’s the meat-processing plants and the manufacturing plants.”

Country music is honestly extremely underrated, and part of what makes it so great is the songwriting. Most people listen to music anymore just to have background noise— the focus is on having a good beat or catchy hook. But in country music, the focus has always been on the lyrics. It’s meant to make you really listen.
1. My favorite things are when common phrases take on a double meaning. “Cleanup on Aisle Five” by Mo Pitney. “On the Other Hand” by Randy Travis. “Bed of Roses” by the Statler Brothers, to name a few. You have to listen to these songs to hear what they’re saying.... to hear that little twist in meaning.
2. That being said, country songs are riddled with wordplay in general. It’s a staple.
“She’s acting single, I’m drinking doubles” - She’s Actin Single, by Gary Stewart
“She’s a good hearted woman in love with a good timin man” - Good Hearted Woman, by Waylon Jennings
“People sayin that I’ve hit rock bottom, just cuz I’m livin on the rocks” - Drinkin Problem, by Midland
3. Not to mention country music is known for its story telling. This list could go on forever. “Coat of Many Colors” by Dolly Parton. “He Stopped Loving Her Today” by George Jones. “The Master’s Call” by Marty Robbins. “More Than a Name on a Wall” by Statler Brothers. “Riding with Private Malone” by David Ball. “Two Story House” by George Jones and Tammy Wynette (this song also falls in the double meaning category). We could be here for ages on this one.
4. Country music has a way of blatantly saying what you are thinking, yet doing it in a respectful manner. Whether it be a damning commentary on society (Skip a Rope, by Henson Cargill) or a simple profession of faith and need (Why Me, by Kris Kristofferson). Whether it be an acknowledgement that things don’t always turn out how you wish they would (Here in the Real World, by Alan Jackson) or realizing that even though things didn’t go the way you planned, sometimes things turn out better than you even imagined in the first place (Unanswered Prayers, Garth Brooks). Hell, after 9/11, Alan Jackson came out at an awards show to sing—for the very first time— Where Were You When the World Stopped Turning. Country music is an outlet for people to say what they need to say... and do it in the most honest way possible without losing message.
#i know none of you care about this#but i do#and its a hill im willing to die on#country music is a huge part of american cultural history too#i refuse to let people brush it off as stupid and meaningless#country music

Talk to Me (Christmas Sermon)
Talk to Me
Christmas Sermon
by Gary Simpson
John 1:1-14 (KJV) In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe. He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.
That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. He came unto his own, and his own received him not. But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
Bible commentator MacGregor, who wrote the Moffatt Bible Commentary on the book of John comments, “No book in the New Testament has provoked conclusions more diverse than” John’s Gospel.(1) Because I like to search for meaningful applications, not controversy, there are parts of the Gospel of John that I like to avoid, because of the controversy that can come with them. The lectionary schedule, however, does not always let us run away from what is uncomfortable and I think that is generally a good thing. We need to get comfortable with what makes us uncomfortable. Perhaps, that is part of what Christmas means. We learn to be comfortable with family, friends and acquaintances, including those who make us uncomfortable.
The book of John is believed to be the last Gospel written.(2) By the time John was written, the young Christian church had second and third generation believers. John’s Gospel provides more information about Jesus, probably in an attempt to deal with apostasy.(3) The unifying purpose of the Gospel appears to be encouraging people to believe that Jesus is the Son, who came from God.(4)
The term word or logos had a special meaning to Jewish people and to Greeks. Plato considered logos to refer to the “divine mind.”(5) From about 400 to 500 years before Christ, a Greek Philosopher Heraclitus believed that the Logos of God dwelling in people is what gave people a sense of right and wrong. From his perspective, “The Logos was nothing less than the mind of God controlling the world and everyone in it.”(6) John’s message is that in Jesus the Logos, the “illuminating, controlling, sustaining mind of God”, came to earth.(7)
There is a meaning in Greek that gives a slightly different sense. In Greek, we are told, “‘The Word was born flesh.’”(8)
The incarnate word of God or the logos of God shows two insights into John’s theology:
• John believed Jesus was the culmination of the redemption of humanity.
• John thought Jesus was eternal and existed before creation.(9)
Anglican priest, Mund Thompson notes, “‘the word became flesh and pitched his tent among us’. In the Hebrew Scriptures, as the children of Israel were in the desert, “God travelled with them”.(10) As in the wilderness, “in Jesus God pitches his tent amidst our tents and travels with us as we journey through life. God gets involved in our mess.”(11) The old respected Bible commentator, Matthew Henry, comments that Jesus “did not dwell among us as in a palace, but as in a tent”, that Jesus dwelt with us in common circumstances, such as “shepherds that dwell in tents”.(12) I find it interesting that Matthew Henry said Christ dwelt with us like shepherds. A passage in Genesis tells us that the Egyptians considered shepherds to be an abomination.(13) The Egyptians viewed shepherds with contempt and disdain and basically ridiculed shepherds.(14) In many respects, the Messiah took upon Himself the contempt, disdain and hatred experienced by members of oppressed minority groups, because, in part, as a Jewish man, He was a member of a minority group in the Roman Empire.
In this section of John Chapter 1, we see some foreshadowing of what will take place in Jesus' ministry. To a person who was not familiar with Jesus, this is a hint that later in the Gospel people will reject Jesus' ministry, that Jesus will be rejected by His own people.
This sounds like a rather ugly verse to be considering at Christmas. Jesus is rejected by His family. We are supposed to be celebrating Jesus' birth, with the exciting expectation of peace and joy. And the Gospel of John comes along and throws ice cold water on our celebration by letting us know that the eternal Jesus, the creator of the world and the creator of life, will be well received by some people, but his very own people will reject Him.
Good news, life impacting messages do not need to be long dissertations. The core of the good news can be said in fifteen words. The Word became a human being and, full of grace and truth, lived among us (NLT). Those are fifteen words that changed lives and impacted the history of the world. Compare that with some of the famous and influential speeches given in the last two hundred years. My computer program gives me the following word counts:
Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address - about 270 words.
Martin Luther King, Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech - about 1,600 words.
Lyndon Johnson’s “The American Promise” speech - about 3,700 words.
Winston Churchill’s “This was Their Finest Hour” speech - about 4,400 words.
The Gospel of John summarizes social justice, human dreams, a promise and the hour of spiritual liberation in just 15 words.
Paul Decker tells an interesting story in a sermon that he gave. He says a man found a new physician for his 90 year-old mother, because her family doctor died. The physician examined his mother, turning to the son, he proceeded to discuss the mother’s health. I wish I was as brave as this 90 year-old lady. She interrupted the doctor, asking, “Doctor, do you do crossword puzzles?”
The physician responded, “Yes.”
She followed with a second question. “Do you do them with pencil or pen?”
The physician answered, “With a pencil.”
She responded, “I do mine with a pen, so you can talk to me.”(15)
I am going to take Paul Decerk’s story in a direction that he did not take.
After Moses leads the children of Israel out of slavery in Egypt, the law is given to the children of Israel at Sinai. According to the narrative in Deuteronomy, God engraved, with God’s finger, the commandments on stone.(16) The Word was made stone and we got the law. Those stone tablets, containing the 10 commandments, are meaningful, but for many the words on stone were hard and cold and did not adequately show the love of God. At Bethlehem, the Word was made flesh and we got grace. In John’s Christmas story, the Word was made flesh, was made into a warm human body in Jesus. In the Christmas story, God is not aloof. The incarnate God does not talk to another, while ignoring us. Christ walked with humanity, lived with humanity, worked with humanity and talked to humanity.
At Bethlehem, the Word was made flesh and grace abounded. For many people, we are the only Bible they will read. To them, we are the Word of God surrounded by human flesh, the Word made warm, compassionate and caring. The Christmas story challenges us to, in a small way, be like the living Word. We do that when we empower family, friends, colleagues, and the oppressed and impoverished by walking with them and talking with them, instead of just talking about them. So in the spirit of a 90 year-old lady and in the Spirit of God, respect, honor, love and empower people - talk to people.

At around ten o'clock in the evening of July 6th 1988 the Piper Alpha oil platform in the North Sea was rocked by a huge explosion.
The 30th anniversary of the disaster will be remembered at a special memorial service tonight in Aberdeen at the Piper Alpha Memorial Garden in Hazlehead Park. The names of all 167 men who lost their lives on July 6 1988 will be read out during the ceremony to be attended by their relatives, friends and representatives from the oil and gas sector.
The vast human tragedy of that day sent shockwaves around the world and forced the industry to take a painstaking look at its practices. On that night, there were more than 220 men on board Piper Alpha, with most in the accommodation section and more than 60 working on the night shift.
After a gas leak on the North Sea platform a series of explosions followed and, minutes later, it was engulfed in a fireball. By the time the rescue helicopters arrived, flames were reaching 300ft and could be seen from 70 miles away. The smoke and fire made evacuation by helicopter or lifeboat impossible, and many people gathered in the accommodation area. Remaining there meant certain death. With the platform ablaze and exploding, some men jumped off from 175ft above the North Sea. Others plunged from lower levels or clambered down ropes and hoses before plummeting into the water. Poundland to stop selling kitchen blades because of rise in knife crime
There were only 62 survivors that night in what remains the world’s worst offshore disaster. An inquiry led by Lord Cullen opened in Aberdeen in January 1989, ended in February the following year, and published its report of several hundred pages nine months after that. It led to North Sea safety being shifted from the Department of Energy to the Health and Safety Executive, and meant that automatic shut-down valves were made mandatory on rigs to starve a fire of fuel.
It's not often I would name all those that perished, but on the 3oth anniversary I think it is only fitting to do so, RIP to the 167......

Patients of a Vermont Hospital Are Left ‘in the Dark’ After a Cyberattack
The F.B.I. estimated that the cybercriminals, who use ransomware called “Ryuk,” took in more than $61 million in ransom over a period of 21 months in 2018 and 2019, a record. What would you do if you were a hospital administrator and hackers attacked your computer systems which made it unable to serve only about one in four of your normal chemotherapy patients: (1) pay a multi-million ransom, or (2) refuse to pay? Why? What are the ethics underlying your decision?
At lunchtime on Oct. 28, Colleen Cargill was in the cancer center at the University of Vermont Medical Center, preparing patients for their chemotherapy infusions. A new patient will sometimes be teary and frightened, but the nurses try to make it welcoming, offering trail mix and a warm blanket, a seat with a view of a garden.
Then they work with extreme precision: checking platelet and white blood cell counts, measuring each dosage to a milligram per square foot of body area, before settling the person into a port and hooking them up to an IV.
That day, though, Ms. Cargill did a double-take: When she tried to log in to her work station, it booted her out. Then it happened again. She turned to the system of pneumatic tubes used to transport lab work. What she saw there was a red caution symbol, a circle with a cross. She walked to the backup computer. It was down, too.
“I wasn’t panicky,” she said, “and then I noticed my cordless phone didn’t work.” That was, she said, the beginning of the worst 10 days of her career.
Cyberattacks on America’s health systems have become their own kind of pandemic over the past year as Russian cybercriminals have shut down clinical trials and treatment studies for the coronavirus vaccine and cut off hospitals’ access to patient records, demanding multimillion-dollar ransoms for their return.
Complicating the response, President Trump last week fired Christopher Krebs, the director of CISA, the cybersecurity agency responsible for defending critical systems, including hospitals and elections, against cyberattacks, after Mr. Krebs disputed Mr. Trump’s baseless claims of voter fraud.
The attacks have largely unfolded in private, as hospitals scramble to restore their systems — or to quietly pay the ransom — without releasing information that could compromise an F.B.I. investigation.
But they have had a devastating and long-lasting effect, particularly on cancer patients, said workers and patients from Vermont’s largest medical system. Its electronic medical record system was restored on Sunday, nearly a month after the cyberattack.
In the interim, clinicians were forced to send away hundreds of cancer patients, said Olivia Thompson, a nurse at the cancer center.
The staff fell back on written notes and faxes, leafing through masses of paper to access vital information. They tried to reconstruct complex chemotherapy protocols from memory.
And while the hospital has taken pains to reassure patients that most care could proceed, some staff members worry that the full damage of the October attack is not well understood.
“To recover from something like this is going to take months and months and months,” Ms. Thompson said. “It feels like we are all alone and no one understands how dire this is.”
Elise Legere, a nurse at the cancer center, said she could compare the past weeks to only one experience — working in a burn unit after the Boston Marathon bombing — and has often found herself wondering about the motivation behind the cyberattack.
“It’s like asking what’s the point of putting a bomb in an elementary school, what is the point?” she said. “There is a lot of evil in the world. Whoever did orchestrate this attack knows a lot about how devastating it is.”
‘We expect panic’
The latest wave of attacks, which hit about a dozen hospitals in the United States, was believed to have been conducted by a particularly powerful group of Russian-speaking hackers that deployed ransomware via TrickBot, a vast network of infected computers used for cyberattacks, according to security researchers who are tracking the attacks.
The hackers typically work for profit. The F.B.I. estimated that the cybercriminals, who use ransomware called “Ryuk,” took in more than $61 million in ransom over a period of 21 months in 2018 and 2019, a record.
The attacks slowed last spring, when cybercriminals agreed among themselves to avoid hacking hospitals amid the pandemic, security researchers said. But just ahead of the presidential election, the groups resumed.
“In the past, they targeted organizations all over the world, but this time they were very specifically aiming for hospitals in the United States,” said Alex Holden, the chief executive of Hold Security, a Milwaukee firm.
The F.B.I. says it will not comment on the attacks, citing ongoing investigations.
Mr. Holden and other cybersecurity experts say that the targets and the timing — just weeks after the United States targeted TrickBot — suggest that one possible motivation could be retaliation.
In late September and October, fearing that cybercriminals could use ransomware to disrupt the election, the Pentagon’s Cyber Command started hacking TrickBot’s systems. Microsoft pursued the systems in federal court, successfully dismantling 94 percent of TrickBot’s servers.
The takedowns relegated TrickBot’s operators to “a wounded animal lashing out,” Mr. Holden said. His firm captured online messages sent among the group, including a list of 400 American hospitals they planned to target, and informed law enforcement.
“We expect panic,” one hacker wrote, in Russian.
U.S. officials warned hospitals about a “credible threat” of attacks on Oct. 23, and then an unusual cluster of attacks on hospitals took place. Several hospital networks — including The University of Vermont Health Network and the St. Lawrence County health system in New York — have said they received no ransom note.
Others reported ransom demands “in eight figures, which is just not something that regional health care systems can do,” said Allan Liska, an analyst with Recorded Future, a cybersecurity firm. These unusual demands, combined with the coordination of the attacks, make “it seem that it was meant to be a disruptive attack” rather than a profit-seeking one, he said.
Mr. Holden said many of the health systems opted to negotiate with their extortionists, even as ransoms jump into the millions.
“A great number of victims are dealing with these attacks on their own,” he said.
The view from inside
In Vermont, the damage radiated out through a sprawling network, hitting especially hard in the cancer center.
“My really good friends are I.C.U. nurses, and they’re like, no big deal, all we have to do is paper charting,” Ms. Cargill, the charge nurse, said. But the cancer center was badly set back for weeks, able to serve only about one in four of its normal chemotherapy patients.
Ms. Cargill spent the rest of the day turning away patients, an experience she cannot relate without beginning to cry, nearly a month later.
“To look someone in the eye, and tell them they cannot have their life-extending or lifesaving treatment, it was horrible, and totally heart-wrenching,” she said. The very first person she turned away, a young woman, burst into tears.
“She said, ‘I have to get chemo, I am the mother of two young kids,’” Ms. Cargill said. “She was so fearful, and the fear was tangible.”
In the days that followed, clinicians attempted to prioritize patients and recreate chemotherapy protocols from memory, gradually aided by backup chart information, said Ms. Legere, a nurse navigator in the unit.
“They were trying to remember everything they knew about a patient, but none of that is accurate,” she said. “Our brains are not designed to be electronic medical records. That’s not safe, and we all know it.”
Patients, she said, “feel very in the dark about when they will get treated,” and many cancer patients who live in rural areas do not have the resources to drive four hours to Boston for treatment.
“Vermont feels intentional, it feels scouted in the sense that it would cause a ton of panic,” she said. “The federal and statewide response is where I’m feeling very deserted. Maybe there’s stuff I don’t see.”
Lawmakers have also accused the Trump administration of marring the federal response.
In an email to The New York Times, Senator Gary Peters, a Democrat of Michigan and member of the Homeland Security Committee, called the president’s firing of Mr. Krebs unacceptable, adding that it caused instability at his agency as it tried to mitigate the hospital attacks amid a surging pandemic.
Administrators at the University of Vermont Health Network acknowledge that restoring services proved far more challenging than they expected.
“If you look at what some other hospitals have gone through, it was days, not weeks,” said Al Gobeille, the system’s executive vice president for operations. “We thought that was what this would be. And we were wrong.”
He said a large number of professionals on information technology — 300 hospital employees, plus 10 members of the National Guard — were deployed to rebuild and clean 1,300 servers and 5,000 laptops and desktop computers. A team of seven F.B.I. investigators was on site for two days after the shutdown, he said, but has had little to no contact with administrators since then.
With the restoration of the electronic patient record system, he said, the hospital’s systems are 75 to 80 percent recovered.
The motivation behind the attack remains unclear. At a news conference last month, Dr. Stephen Leffler, the president of the medical center, said he had received no request for ransom. Since then, though, at the request of the F.B.I., administrators have carefully avoided discussing the matter of ransom, or confirming Dr. Leffler’s statement.
Dr. Leffler, he said, “was saying what he knew at the time,” Mr. Gobeille said.
“The F.B.I. has asked us not to talk about that part of the investigation, and I haven’t said either way,” he said. “I’m a pretty transparent person, so it’s odd to say the F.B.I. has asked me not to talk about it. It’s not who we are. But in this case, I understand why.”
Some patients have complained that they were left dangling, uncertain when their treatment would resume.
Sean McCaffrey, 37, who was scheduled to see a cardiologist on the afternoon of the cyberattack — he had been suffering from chest pains — said he had never been contacted to reschedule the appointment.
“It’s really troublesome because I have lost some faith in my local hospital,” he said. “I was told I’d get a call. It’s been three weeks, and I have no idea what to do.”
Others say they are still waiting to gain access to critical scans. Two days before the shutdown, Damian Mooney, 47, had received a radiologist’s notes on an M.R.I. of his shoulder, which suggested that an aggressive bone cancer may have returned.
The scans have been unavailable since the cyberattack, so no doctor has been able to say whether the radiologist was correct, said his wife, Kat.
“For 26 days, we’ve been sitting here going, ’We don’t know whether this recurred or not,’” she said.
It will be difficult, both for patients and staff members, to regain their sense of security, said Jennifer Long, an outpatient nurse at the medical center.
She and her colleagues, she said, sometimes wonder aloud what allowed the hackers to get into the system: “Is it the kid down the street? Is it someone in another country? Was it an email I sent? Was it the last page I opened?”
“You’re left with that feeling — it’s kind of sickening, it’s very impersonal — knowing that this was a deliberate attack, without any regard for the consequences, and the potential for harm,” she said. “It really stings. It’s really hard to sit with it.”

Meet The Richest Person In Every State 2018
Lauren Gensler ,
FORBES STAFF
I write about the world's most successful entrepreneurs.
(Design by Nick DeSantis, FORBES staff)
For the fourth year in a row, Forbes has scoured the country from sea to shining sea to find the richest person in every single state. The centimillionaires and billionaires we found have made (or inherited) fortunes in a sprawling range of industries -- from hotels to hedge funds to coal.
In all, Forbes located 53 captains of industry (three states had ties) with fortunes that add up to $832 billion, up from $747 billion last year and $682 billion the year before. The average fortune for this year's list stands at $16.6 billion, up from $14.4 billion in 2017.
The most popular way to make a fortune that is unrivaled by anyone else in your state is to go into finance and investing, where a full 10 people on our list have made a name for themselves. Fashion and retail comes next, and with eight people on our list, followed by the food and beverage sector (five people) and the service industry (with another five people).
The Richest Person In Every State 2018

The surging price of Amazon stock has made Jeff Bezos the richest person in his adopted home state of Washington for the first time (as well as the wealthiest person in the world); his fortune skyrocketed from $83 billion last year to a current $132 billion. Amazon's stock roared 66% higher in the 12 months through mid-May as investors cheered the company's reshaping of the retail world, plus its ability to grab market share in places like the cloud, and post a stretch of profits, to boot. Bezos now easily outranks Microsoft cofounder Bill Gates, who qualified as Washington's richest last year with 88.9 b$

Digital trading pioneer Thomas Peterffy also had a blockbuster year and solidified his position as the richest person in Florida. His fortune basically doubled to $25.7 billion thanks to a dizzying 104% rise in shares of his company, Interactive Brokers. That makes him the largest gainer, in terms of sheer dollars as well as percentage growth, compared to last year's list. He is now leaps and bounds ahead of fellow Florida resident and hedge fund manager David Tepper, who is the state's second-richest with a fortune of $11 billion.
California's wealthiest resident, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, managed to increase his fortune by $11.6 billion in the past year to a recent $74 billion. This is despite an outcry over the way his social media empire handles user data and its alleged role in spreading misinformation during the last presidential election. Zuckerberg remains the third-richest person in the nation.
Investors were not so kind to Charles Ergen, who lost his place as the richest person in Colorado as shares of Dish Network were beaten down by almost 50% in the 12 months through mid-May. His net worth was knocked down to $10 billion, a far cry from the $18.8 billion he clocked last year. Taking his place as the state's richest is Philip Anschutz, with a net worth of $12.7 billion, which stems from a bevy of endeavors including oil, railroads, real estate and entertainment.
In some states, there is little competition when it comes to wearing the crown of the state's richest person. Take Warren Buffett in Nebraska. The legendary investor is the fourth-wealthiest person on the entire planet with a net worth of $85 billion. The next-richest person in his beloved home state is his longtime friend Walter Scott Jr., whose fortune also comes from Berkshire Hathaway (namely, its utilities subsidiary), but is decidedly smaller at $4.2 billion.
