Beer flavored beer. Sticking with traditional beer styles. That's Turtle Stack Brewery in La Crosse, WI.A small independent craft brewery and tasting room, Turtle Stack is located in historic downtown La Crosse, directly across from the La Crosse Center and Radisson Hotel. Turtle Stack produces high quality local beer for residents of La Crosse and surrounding communities as well as visitors to the upper Mississippi River Valley - the taproom is in fact just steps from the Mighty Mississippi and waterfront district. Owner and founder, Brent, joins Jonathan for this live show in the taproom during the Wisconsin Governor's Conference on Tourism! Sales Manager, Eric, also joins us to talk about where Turtle Stack beer is located outside of the taproom (hint: they do can some of their beers now so you can take them to-go from the taproom too!).Whether you're a local or visiting beautiful La Crosse - sometimes known as the Driftless Region - stop in to Turtle Stack, say hi and try some of Brent's beers!

MCALLEN, Texas - State Rep. Terry Canales, a three-term chairman of the House Committee on Transportation, is perhaps best known for securing millions of dollars for transportation in the Rio Grande Valley. However, he told the audience at a Rio Grande Valley Partnership event on Wednesday evening that henceforth his priority will be water. The event, held at the Radisson Hotel in McAllen, was titled “Rio Grande Valley Legislative Appreciation Reception.” Other legislators at the event were state Senators Juan Hinojosa and Morgan LaMantia, and state Representatives R.D. ‘Bobby' Guerra and Armando Martinez.“Today, you all bring us here to recognize our efforts and I'm very grateful. But I would be more grateful if everybody would join me in one cause from here until the foreseeable future. Everybody in this room,” Canales said.“Everybody in this room is a stakeholder. Everybody in this room is a mover and a shaker. You are here because you care, because you're involved. You know things work.”Canales continued: “Water. Water is our future. And the Rio Grande Valley is running out of it quick. If you don't think so you need to speak with the people that are in charge of water.Canales said the Legislature lost two of its biggest advocates for water due to retirement, Reps. Lyle Larson and Eddie Lucio, III. Because of this, Canales said, he took it upon himself to get informed on the issue and to educate his staff.“I asked the people involved in water, how does the Rio Grande Valley get water? The response was extreme weather events. That's code for luck. And if we're dependent on luck for the future water, we don't have a plan, ladies and gentlemen.”Canales said the Valley should be planning the future of water now. “And I will tell you that that should be our focus. It's nice to have great roads. It's nice to have infrastructure. But we don't have life if we don't have water.”Canales said his door will always be one to constituents and stakeholders to discuss whatever is important to them. “You can come to me with all your issues. You can come to me with everything that's important to you and we will focus on everything's important to you. But if you're not focused… if everybody in the Valley is not focused on the future of water, then you haven't prioritized life.”After Canales had finished his speech, RGV Partnership President Daniel Silva thanked him. "Thank you for that awareness and that challenge,” Silva said.Incidentally, last year, the RGV Partnership held a huge regional event at the Bert Ogden Arena in Edinburg that was attended by Gov. Greg Abbott. Elected officials, along with community and business leaders, were invited to discuss the future of the region. It was at this event that the Partnership adopted the motto, One Region, One Voice. There was no discussion of water at the event.To read the new stories and watch the news videos of the Rio Grande Guardian International News Service go to www.riograndeguardian.com.

Its a figure of speech that is used time and time again, but in rare instances, you have someone who truly steps up to the figurative plate and leads by example. This past weekend the boxing world and some of it's most successful practitioners were given the respect respect and admiration they so richly deserve, as New Rochelle's own Rob Garris presented "FIGHTERS HELPING FIGHTERS" charity event.  It was a spectacular afternoon of family, friends, memories and memorabilia in the main ballroom of the Radisson Hotel, and the boxing community showed up in full force to celebrate some of the greatest boxing champions of all time.    The setting was the main ballroom of the Radisson Hotel in New Rochelle, NY, and with over 20 former World Boxing Champions in attendance, the boxing community's focal point was Westchester, NY, as Philanthropist and Boxing Legend Rob Garris brought a renown list of fighters out to be celebrated and appreciated for their contributions to the sport of professional boxing. Luminaries included former Unified World Light Heavyweight and IBF World Heavyweight champion Michael Spinks, IBF and WBA former World Heavyweight Champion Tim Witherspoon, former NABF Welterweight Champion Larry Barnes, former 3-division WBC, IBF, and WBA World Champion Iran Barkley, former WBC Light Heavyweight Champion Montell Griffin, former world-ranked Light Heavyweight contender, ESPN Classic Analyst and top trainer "Iceman" Scully, former Heavyweight contender Mitch Green, Michael Nunn, and many more.  The stars were indeed out in full force in New Rochelle on this day.   Hubbard Wrestling Weekly© Combat sports had an opportunity to speak with some of the guests of this event live at the Radisson Hotel in New Rochelle, NY their view on their boxing legacies, how they are doing now, and a personal outlook on this wonderful event Rob Garris put together: Event Interviews: Former World Heavyweight Champion Michael Spinks: http://hubbardwrestlingweekly.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/HubbardWW-Michael-Spinks.mp3 Former 2-time World Heavyweight Champion Tim Witherspoon: http://hubbardwrestlingweekly.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/HubbardWW-Tim-Witherspoon.mp3 Former World-Ranked Boxer and ESPN Analyst John Scully: http://hubbardwrestlingweekly.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/HubbardWW-Iceman-Skully.mp3 Former 3-Division World Champion Iran Barkley: http://hubbardwrestlingweekly.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/HubbardWW-Iran-Barkley.mp3 Former NABF Welterweight Champion Larry Barnes: http://hubbardwrestlingweekly.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/HubbardWW-Larry-Barnes.mp3 Former Light Heavyweight Champion of the World Montell Griffin: http://hubbardwrestlingweekly.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/HubbardWW-Montell-Griffin.mp3 Former Golden Gloves fighter Richard Adamson, Jr.: http://hubbardwrestlingweekly.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/HubbardWW-RichardJr-.mp3 Retrospective/Recap Interview: HubbardWrestlingWeekly© Executive Vice-President Cindy Bailey-Hubbard: http://hubbardwrestlingweekly.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/HubbardWW-Mom.mp3     ((This article and all interviews are the exclusive and original property of Hubbard Wrestling Weekly© Combat sports media))

GAMBLING NEWS | CASINO SHOOTING, BITCOIN NEWS & PROGRESSIVE JACKPOT WINNERS | Recently, the biggest winner on the Las Vegas Strip came all the way from Alaska. A $2.1 million jackpot at The Cosmopolitan made it well worth the trip. With just $40 invested, that lucky slot player hit it big on a Monopoly Millionaire progressive slot. The downtown area of Las Vegas was hot as well. One player walked away with a $1.2 million jackpot playing a Buffalo Grand progressive slot at D Las Vegas. Over at Circa Las Vegas, another player took home $99,656 after winning the jackpot on a Dollar Storm slot machine. All three wins closed out the month of April. The expansion of nightlife in the metaverse continues. Virtual experiences are becoming the “new norm.” One of those experiences involves virtual casino games. Decentral Games has recently entered that space with its Atari-branded casino. Land is purchased in virtual worlds which allow digital businesses the space to operate. To help celebrate the opening of the Atari casino, DJ Dillon Francis did a live set. This reached more than 3500 attendees worldwide. Another new release is a digital replica of the iconic Amnesia Club. Decentral Games had previously built a number of games for Decentraland on a white label basis. A gunman opened fire on restaurant workers at Duck Creek Kitchen & Bar on Saturday, May 1. Two of the workers died at the scene while a third victim was “seriously wounded.” That person was transported to a Milwaukee hospital for treatment. Police on the scene then shot and killed the suspect. It was also reported that the gunman was targeting someone that was not present at the restaurant. It was unclear as to why he shot the other victims. The restaurant is part of the Radisson Hotel & Conference Center outside of Green Bay. It is connected to the Oneida Casino. Binance has established itself as the biggest exchange in the world for cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin. Its next move involves the opening of a marketplace to create, buy and sell NFTs. This is short for nonfungible tokens which are a form of the digital asset. The new market covers everything from virtual works of art to collectables for sports memorabilia such as player cards. Part of the new marketplace would handle high-value auctions and exhibitions. The other part covers day-to-day trading. Current company plans call for a June launch of this new NFT marketplace project. A landing page is up and running for potential partnerships.

About Lucky MaverickAbout Jonathan BalesIf you want to break the rules of grammar, first learn the rules of grammar.- Kurt VonnegutI used to play this iPhone game called “Fun Run.” It's sort of like Mario Kart in that you race and there are question mark things you can get that have weapons to kill your opponents (lightning, a bear trap thing, a sword, etc).When I first started playing, I tried to move as fast as possible and finish the race with the quickest time I could. Seems logical…faster is better in any race, right? Maybe, maybe not. You need to perform well to win a race, but the goal isn't to have the fastest time you can; it's to have a faster time than everyone else. Those are similar ideas, but not exactly the same.Once I started playing Fun Run more and more, I did the most psychopathic s**t you can imagine and began charting all of the details of the game in Excel—my time, the course, kills, deaths, etc. I was doing this to see which courses were my best because players got to vote on one of two before the race, so I thought that optimal selection would slightly improve my win rate and also I wasn't a virgin at this time if you can believe that. As I tracked the data, I noticed that while my win probability improved, my times barely got better. Why? It was due to the recognition that, while fast times and wins are correlated, the former is really just an effect of the latter, not always a cause of it. There are many times it benefited me to reduce my expected time to increase the odds of winning, such as going out of my way to obtain an additional question mark, using a super low-variance strategy late in the race if I'm winning, taking more risks when I'm losing, and so on.In all games, you work within the confines of the rules to find edges and increase your chances of winning. Sometimes, though, specifically as you become well-versed in a game and begin competing at the highest level, you realize world-class performance requires a completely different way of thinking. Why is it that in so many areas—from poker to business to video games to chess—the greats seem to be playing a fundamentally different game than their opponents?The path to greatness starts with learning the rules of the game and figuring out how to play within the rules to win. But it eventually transforms into breaking all those rules, approaching problems from a distinct viewpoint to play a game—one I'll call the “hidden” game—that's fundamentally different from others.SpeedrunningThis article was inspired by an email I received about something called “speedrunning.”Hi Bales,When reading Lucky Maverick articles, I find one area that continuously applies these concepts: speedrunning. If you're unfamiliar with speedrunning, it is a community of gamers that attempt to beat video games as fast as possible. For example, the current world record to beat Super Mario Bros on the NES is 4:55.314. Speedrunners are fighting over frames and fractions of seconds to secure world records, which is why they have to apply some of the tenets of the Lucky Maverick posts.The two main strategies that are applicable in speedrunning are taking ideas to their logical extreme and playing the game by different, hidden rules. A great example of this is in the speedrun for Wii Sports Resort Golf. The main strategy that runners realized after thousands of attempts was that they were able to manipulate both wind and cup position by intentionally failing the first hole. This is counterintuitive to conventional thinking of “the fastest way to play Wii Golf is to just get the ball in the cup as quickly as possible.” By finding these hidden mechanics of the game, and taking them to their absolute extreme, these runners were able to take the world record down multiple minutes from the early days of running.I really enjoy your newsletter and would be happy to discuss speedrunning further if you'd like. Feel free to reach out/or use this as a topic if you are interested.Best,ChrisA few notes:I love when you guys send me emails with awesome stuff you're reading, watching, or otherwise learning about. I can't always give super-long responses—and sometimes the emails suck ass, no offense—but for the most part, they're really great. I imagine the average Lucky Maverick reader is either a super-sharp worldly scholar or a degenerate gambler who responds to his grandmother's innocent claim that it takes less than 10 minutes to drive into town with “Oh yeah, how much would you bet? I'll give you 2-to-1.” Anyway, keep sending me sweet content that you're enjoying.In this particular case, I've gotten deep into the lab on speedrunning. Even if you're not that into video games, the way in which the top players go about solving each game is this absolutely beautiful combination of efficiency and innovation—shaving fractions of a second off of their times with small optimizations while also making giant leaps through completely outside-the-box tactics.I'd say I've played an average amount of video games in my life—maybe a bit less—but like everything I've done, rather than a healthy and balanced approach, I've become completely obsessed with just a handful of games. As an example, I was the No.2-ranked player in NCAA Football on Xbox for a two-year period in high school. I played all day long, every day, and I'd have my little brother put on the headset and talk smack to my opponents so they'd tilt their faces off thinking they're getting whooped by a six-year old. I played like 15 hours a day, which tells you that no matter what you do in life, there's always someone out there, somewhere, who is a bigger loser than you.This article is going to be about how to truly think differently, using speedrunning as a foundation for the main points. It's not required, but I'd check out this video and others from the same name—Summoning Salt—on YouTube.Let your curiosity—and not the need to win—guide you.Not all who wander are lost.– J.R.R. TolkienI've been playing racquetball with my friend Adam Levitan for a few years. I sucked when we started. I never played a racquet sport and my cardio was total s**t, whereas Levitan was in decent shape and had played tennis for years.My only hope was to hit the ball up into the ceiling so it would bounce high off the front wall and slowly drop in the back, hopefully bouncing weirdly in the corner. I wasn't good enough with my racquet to consistently hit winners and if the game became too fast-paced, I basically looked like a fish out of water, flopping around, completely unable to breathe.But I became curious about racquetball and began watching pros on YouTube. It turns out that Kane Waselenchuk and Rocky Carson and all our heroes on the court didn't play like me, if you can believe it. Sometimes they hit flop shots, but I realized that it would be impossible to win long-term against a great player without hitting very low, accurate winners into the corners.Another thing I noticed my friends Kane and Rocky didn't do was continually smash their racquet into the court when they lost.I watched hours of play, and they literally never repeatedly banged their racquet into the ground until it was demolished, then immediately order a new one on Amazon. Not once! I blame Amazon Prime and their uber-fast and reliable shipping. I'd have much better sportsmanship if it weren't for that f*****g Bezos.Smashing my racquet into pieces was a reflection of my hatred of losing, but here's what that racquetball experience taught me and what I believe is the most important trait in those who think differently to achieve greatness: your path toward perfection must be governed not by a need to win, but rather a natural curiosity and passion for what you're doing.I really believe this is the primary key to being contrarian, non-consensus, non-conformist…whatever you want to call it. A pure, child-like curiosity will take you off the beaten path to identify the best long-term strategies, not because you're trying to be different, but because children at play have no choice but to wander.Make no mistake about it: a will to win is absolutely vital. I'm as competitive as anyone I know, hence why my racquets have a shorter lifespan than a gastrotrich. It's a marine microorganism that lives three days. Now you don't have to look it up.However, in choosing to win at all costs, what you're really doing is sacrificing the war to win a battle. If I never attempted to hit more winners in racquetball—which temporarily lowered my win rate—then I never would have improved enough to consistently win.So the need to win is still an essential trait, but it can't be over a short time horizon. It's sort of like Amazon continually delaying profits. They're a company designed to make money, yet have chosen to push back short-term net income in favor of a long-term view.If you extend this idea to its logical extreme, the optimal time horizon for greatness is “forever,” meaning you should let your passions and curiosities dictate your direction. Doing so has compounding advantages over optimizing for the present moment, and those advantages can be “cashed in” for wins at a later date.Just as Amazon and other great companies invest in innovation, you can achieve long-term greatness by investing time in following your curiosities—by “wandering.”Don't stop at local maxima.Wandering in business is not efficient…but it's also not random. It's guided…and powered by a deep conviction that the prize is big enough that it's worth it to be a little messy and tangential to find your way there. Wandering is an essential counter-balance to efficiency. The outsized discoveries—the non-linear ones—are highly likely to require wandering.  - Jeff BezosWhen you don't let yourself wander, you'll inevitably accept “good enough.” Say an alien is beamed down to our world and asked to find our tallest building. Let's just forget for a minute how incredibly advanced this alien civilization would have to be just to get here, and let's instead assume it's just some regular old dumb alien with human-level intelligence. We'll call him Joe.Joe is dropped onto Earth. He walks around a bit, learns how to hail a taxi, and starts exploring. Eventually, he spots a very tall building and finds his way to the top. He looks out in every direction as far as his single alien eye can see and nothing is taller.“I did it! I found the tallest building on this planet!” Joe exclaims, in English somehow. Happy with his accomplishment, Joe sends word back to his home planet.“I already found it, guys. Didn't take long at all. If you need me, I'll be here on top of the Radisson Hotel in Fargo. It's over 200 feet high!”This is one of the dumbest analogies I think I've ever had. I mean this is really f*****g stupid, but I wrote too much and I'm not deleting it now. Moving on…Joe is at a local maximum—the highest point in a given range or a larger set.Just like Joe on top of the Radisson, when you're at a local maximum, you usually can't see that there are much higher points that can be reached. Joe might have taken the stairs and it might have been very difficult and he could have felt a great sense of achievement once he reached the top…but he's still on top of a hotel in North Dakota.And the only way to improve is to explore, to wander, to seek out what might be uncomfortable out of pure curiosity. This means being below more recent highs almost all of the time. If your goal is to be good or even great, your quest for new maxima need not be strenuous.But if your aim is to be the best—if it's the equivalent of Joe making his way to Dubai to find the Burj Khalifa—then you have no choice but to explore. That means passing on other local maxima—giving up future “wins”—by becoming a kid again.Long-term greatness requires exposing yourself to short-term hurdles; if you're truly exploring, most of the time you're not going to be at a peak, but rather at a much lower point looking for something better.Side note: I can't find the article, but I saw a really cool breakdown with a formula of the “optimal” number of people you should date before getting married. If you consider the average amount of time it takes you to get to know someone, how quickly you can meet new potential partners, and when you'd like to get married/have children, there's actually a formula you can employ to maximize your chances of finding the best possible person for you. The interesting thing is that, mathematically speaking, you should continue to meet, date, and then break up with people, no matter what, until a certain point. I remember putting in my numbers and the calculator said it would be suitable to date 17 people, leave all of them, and then continue to date people until I came across the first one who's better than the best from that group of 17.This approach is forgoing local maxima in effort to optimize the odds of finding a true maximum given your time constraints. If you think about it, this happens naturally so much more than it used to. Whereas older generations would frequently date and marry people from their hometowns, the ease of travel and, specifically, the internet and dating apps has made it much, much easier to find suitable partners—to traverse the topological map of dating—to forgo the local maxima.At some point, though, you need to make a choice. If you settle too soon, you're very likely to end up at a local maximum, but if you are always searching for something better, that doesn't seem like a great recipe for happiness either. Maybe I'll find it and write about it, I just thought the concept was really cool, and it can be applied to everything from job-seeking to esports to buying a house. Wander, then optimize. And for all the straight men out there, if there's one thing I know about women, it's that they get super wet when you treat them as a variable in a formula.Find the hidden rules.In gameplay, it's what you know that others don't that really matters. - Me, later in this sectionThe first article of this newsletter was called How to Win Games: Find the Hidden Rules. What I call “hidden rules” are basically the unstated mechanics of gameplay that dictate success. Sometimes, you can reverse-engineer these by thinking about what “winning” means, then working backwards from success to eliminate actions that don't increase your win probability.A simple example is that underdogs should increase variance, while favorites should minimize it. An NFL team down 14 points with 10 minutes to play needs things to get chaotic, whereas the favorite wants no volatility. If you're an underdog in a video game with an opponent, it might make sense to choose an unusual character with which your opponent isn't familiar, even if you're new to using that character.A big mistake I see is making assumptions about what increases win probability, then extending those throughout the entirety of the game. For example, winning a football game is almost always one of point-maximization, but not always; one of the weakest areas of in-game strategy right now is end-of-half clock management, with teams seemingly too focused on scoring points and not enough on point differential, i.e. don't give your opponent another possession with meaningful time on the clock.In DFS, the big “hidden rule” I discovered was that the game actually isn't about scoring as many points as possible, but rather winning with as few points as possible, i.e. where can I unlock points others aren't and benefit when they're doing poorly as a whole?In the game of Wii Sports Resort Golf, it's easy to make the assumption that the fastest time always equates to the fewest strokes, but that's not the case. As Chris mentioned in his email, players learned they could tank the first hole to gain a more favorable setup for subsequent holes, which more than made up for the initial time lost.On one of the later holes, there's a lake right next to the tee box. One of the top players eventually figured out if you drive the ball straight into the lake and keep hitting it directly into the water, you'd hit the max strokes faster than if you just played the hole normally.In both cases, astute players found new solutions by asking “What are ways I can lower my time by actually taking more strokes?”The reason this works—the foundation for hidden rules—is that you're not going to benefit from something if everyone else is doing it. Few players are specifically trying to search for areas in which more strokes is better, and so if you're the first to uncover one of these hidden edges, the rewards are yours alone.Lots of times, this means identifying temporary “losses” that act as a slingshot to higher future win probability, like tanking the first hole, going out of the way in Fun Run, or trying for winners in racquetball when you're not yet super-skilled.The key is to decipher what it is you're actually optimizing for, then look for the few times that the conventional approach has faulty assumptions that makes it sub-optimal. In gameplay, it's what you know that others don't that really matters.Question everything.A contrarian isn't one who always objects. That's a conformist of a different sort. A contrarian reasons independently, from the ground up, and resists pressure to conform. – NavalOne thing I find interesting in watching the speedrunning videos is that even though it seems like the new records are unbreakable, they continually get lower and lower over time. Even though the differences in time might seem small, the strategies used by the end are often fundamentally different than those in the beginning.Super Mario Bros. 2 is a good example of this progression.There's one level in one of the games in which everyone previously used Luigi because there's a crucial point at which you can save a lot of time by quickly jumping up. In an ideal world, the players would use Toad, who runs the fastest when he's holding an item over his head. However, it was accepted that Toad was not useful in this level because he couldn't jump high enough to save time over Luigi, until someone came along and figured out a unique way to bounce off of a goomba (edit: idk if it's actually a goomba? someone told me it isn't and they aren't in mario bros 2, but google says they're in level 4-1. you'd think i'd just change it rather than add this long explanation inside of parentheses. and why am i not capitalizing anything here?) and trick the game into thinking it was still on a flat service, allowing the user to jump again mid-air. This user went on to set a world record by thinking about the ideal scenario—that he could use Toad—and questioning if it were really true that Toad can't jump as high as Luigi.Another example of this idea of questioning even basic beliefs comes in Mario Kart—a game with many glitches that allow players to skip large portions of the track.Two of those basic assumptions you might not ever think to question: you have to go forward to win the race and you should try to stay on the track. There are actually a bunch of situations in which you can go out of bounds strategically to have yourself set back in a more favorable location, and even some in which going backwards at the start of the race—or even at the end of laps—can give you huge edge via securing better items or even tricking the game into thinking you've completed a lap you haven't.By the way, I've never tried any of these, but how sick would it be to sit down with your friends to play Mario Kart and win a race in like 30 seconds?One way to effectively question your most basic beliefs is to take them to their logical end. I wrote about this in My Extreme Theory of Learning.Be an outsider.Whenever possible, I think crosspollinating ideas from other contexts is far, far better than attempting to solve our problems as if no one has ever faced anything similar. – Sam HinkieI'm currently reading a book about psychology and self-image called Psycho-Cybernetics. What's interesting is that this widely renowned work was written by a plastic surgeon—not a psychologist—after he noticed how patients' self-respect changed after cosmetic surgeries.It seems many discoveries, inventions, and insights come from “outsiders,” but why? I think there are two primary reasons. First, “outsiders” don't have tunnel-vision about the way things “should be.” Everyone views the world through various lenses, and when you get deeply involved in something, it's very difficult to step back and think about things from a fresh perspective. You inevitably forget the original questions you asked and can have laser-focus that's perhaps great for small improvements but misses out on the advantages of a beginner's mindset.The second reason outsiders can find unique success is that some of the greatest ideas come at the intersection of two seemingly different concepts—what some call “cross-pollination.” I studied philosophy in college, concentrating on Taoism, and was amazed at how many parallels there seemed to be between Eastern philosophy and another passion of mine: theoretical physics. I truly believe an understanding of physics made my reading of Taoism much richer, and vice versa. This isn't a new concept; if you're one of the maybe two people reading this sitting at the Eastern philosophy and theoretical physics intersection of interests, check out The Tao of Physics.To attain a fresh perspective into something familiar, use cross-pollination. Take something else you know or like—anything—and combine it with something else. I used to basically eat, sleep, and breathe DFS, and anything I learned—even if it had nothing to do with sports—I translated into DFS terms. Reading Taleb and applying antifragility to tournaments was the greatest leap of my career. Whether it was playing chess or reading a book about markets or thinking back to psychology classes, I tried to apply lessons I learned or lenses through which one might view the world to something totally unrelated in an effort to generate unique insights. Even when watching speedrunning videos, I find myself taking certain principles or ideas and trying to apply them to my world. When you're cross-pollinating ideas—especially those on opposite sides of the brain, like math and art—you're connecting parts of your mind that normally don't interact. There's a lot of really interesting research right now on something that enhances that process—psychedelic drugs—but that's for another post.Don't try to be contrarian.The most contrarian thing of all is not to oppose the crowd, but to think for yourself. – Peter ThielIf there's one thing to take from this article, it's that you shouldn't be afraid to play. Be a kid again. The more unique insights don't come from following the rules; they come from trying new s**t because trying new s**t is fun.When you're truly child-like in spirit, doing things for the sake of satisfying your curiosities and for no other reason, you'll naturally find your own way. You'll be contrarian in the best way possible, rejecting certain widely held beliefs not because they're widely held, but because they're false.Being contrarian shouldn't be the aim; it should be a byproduct of thinking independently.

Good morning, folks, and welcome to the tenth issue of Bright Morning. We say this quite often, but it's hard to believe that we are ten weeks into this project. Before we kick off, we would like to offer some words of appreciation and reflection. This project kicked off with an idea: would we be interested in starting a newsletter? Neither one of us even really liked reading newsletters, and after we talked about it for a bit, we quickly realized why: we had not found anything interesting to read. Obviously our sample was not representative, but based on what we had seen, we thought that newsletters only offered small snapshots of stories without any probes for thought. As well, a lot of newsletters out there only offered cookie-cutter, boring, and faux-progressive talking points. And out of this realization, we found an opportunity. What if we could try to do it better? What if we could talk about the big stories of the week through the lens of our own conservative and classical liberal values? Is there an audience out there who would be receptive to this ambition? It turns out that there was. And so, ten weeks into the development of Bright Morning, we believe that we have landed on something that works. We have learned a lot in the past ten weeks, and we look forward to continuing to learn. We hope that while we are satisfying our need to write about what is important to us, we are also meeting your need for honest and authentic analysis. We really are thankful for your continued support of our project.Having said that, let us now turn our heads to some of the stand-out absurdities from the week, shall we?| CULTUREJordan Peterson returns, and so do the hit-pieces The Nitty GrittyOutrageously famous Canadian psychologist, Dr. Jordan Peterson, appears to be back in action after a long hiatus from the public eyeNow that he's back, so are the critiques

Żyję i od pewnego czasu jestem z tego dumna, co opisuję na swoim blogu Kasia Tłumaczy. Uwielbiam gotowanie, fotografie i podróże. Ukończyłam filologię polską na Uniwersytecie Szczecińskim. Zostałam też laureatką konkursu literackiego Lokomotywy „Co w sercu, to na papierze" realizowanym w ramach projektu Przystanek Horyniec 2019. O książce: Co odkrywamy, patrząc w oczy własnej historii? Odkrywamy siebie, nasze marzenia, fascynacje, lęki, niepokoje i dramaty. Kasia Krawiecka, czytając wspomnienia Babci Janki, znalazła coś więcej, znalazła swój kraj, Ojczyznę, tragiczną, a zarazem dumną kresową ziemię, w którą wrosły korzenie jej rodu. Odkryła kawałek wspólnych dziejów. To bardzo osobista historia, a zarazem uniwersalna. Losy jednostek wpisane w los narodu. Szczególną rysą tej książki jest pasja odkrywania prawdy. Kasia Krawiecka zanurza się w wiele światów, by w każdym z nich znaleźć coś własnego, swoistego, ważnego i cennego. To książka o poszukiwaniu miłości do życia, do poświęceń i do wiary. Książka mądra i ciekawa.

After the website update is completed, the group will also launch the Radisson Blu Hotel Group APP at the end of July 2019. Radisson stated that 'this online development milestone marks the Group's move to digital leadership in the industry.' which I found very self-serving to start with, but their old website and app is more like something from the last decade, so it's refreshing to see them catching up in this regard. Guests and members can browse the Group's more than 1,100 hotels worldwide on the updated RadissonHotels.com website and make it easy to book. The RadissonHotels.com website and the Radisson Hotel Group app will bring a customized digital experience to the new and old members of the Rewards Club. The interactive design of the interface between the website and the app is very user-friendly and will be the central platform for earning points, viewing and redeeming points. In addition, users can view all member benefits of Rewards through the platform. Eric De Neef, Executive Vice President and Global Chief Commercial Officer of Radisson Hotel Group, said: "The launch of RadissonHotels.com is an important milestone for us to become an industry leader. All brands can be reached through this integrated platform, which will greatly improve user experience and enhance the value of search engine optimization. RadissonHotels.com is one of the core business initiatives of our five-year plan, which will drive our business transformation and make Radisson Hotel a priority for guests, owners and talent." The upgraded website will integrate past single-brand websites to provide users with a comprehensive and friendly integrated platform experience. The website will cover all seven distinctive brands of the Radisson Hotel Group: Radisson Blu, Radisson, Radisson Collection, Radisson Red, Park Plaza, Park Inn, and Country Inn & Suites. In addition, it will also include the art'otel brand of their strategic partner PPHE Hotels Group. The site will be fully online in English, Arabic, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Simplified Chinese, Spanish and Swedish. Other language support will also be updated gradually. We want to make as many guests and members as possible accessible to RadissonHotels.com in their native language. In the new booking experience, Radisson encourages guests to quickly join the Rewards program and enjoy the membership price. Once you become a member, guests will have the opportunity to save up to 10% on their stay. The best online price is available through member discounts.

In 1986, a group of Northeast Ohio jazz fans led by Jean and Paul Huling formed a club called EARLYJAS (The Earlville Association of Ragtime Lovers Yearning for Jazz Advancement and Socialization). For well over 20 years, EARLYJAS presented a very successful and popular Fall Dixieland Jazz Festival in Strongsville, Ohio. Unfortunately, due to a lack of volunteers and the potential for major financial losses, their Board of Trustees voted to discontinue the Fall Festival after 2011. EARLYJAS accomplished a great deal in the cause of presenting traditional Dixieland jazz over the previous 25 years, and made considerable contributions to the Summit County Kidney Foundation. Today the club is financially stronger than ever, and they continue to host monthly meetings, concerts, and jam sessions. But after 25 years, they decided to no longer produce the Strongsville festival. Learning of this decision, “Ragtime Rick” Grafing, piano player with the Cakewalkin’ Jass Band and leader of The Chefs of Dixieland, agreed to produce a new festival to replace the one in Strongsville, to be held in Toledo. It is known as the GRUGELFEST, a tribute and memorial to EARLYJAS member Ralph Grugel, leader of the Eagle Jazz Band, who died in 2005. Ralph Grugel was a major force in Cleveland’s Dixieland Jazz community. GRUGELFEST features 5 great bands over 3 days in 2 venues for each session, plus additional performances by world-class piano players, small groups, and jam sessions. From 2012 to 2016 it was held at the Park Inn by Radisson Hotel in downtown Toledo; in 2017 the festival moved to the Holiday Inn French Quarter in Perrysburg. Special room rates are offered for the weekend.

Did you know that in the early 1980s, The Church of the SubGenius was taken over by women? It was not a peaceful usurpation of power, but involved blackmail, bloodshed, and "Bob." This is a heavily edited report on the Second World SubCon, held Sept 9 1982 weekend in Chicago at the Radisson Hotel. Puxzzling Evidence provided live radio commentary over Stang's live recordings. Everything was recorded on cassettes. The founding Doktors were young and savage then and their wives were even worse. The early Doktors on the ancient crumbling tape include Dr. Philo Drummond, Rev. Ivan Stang, Puzzling Evidence, Dr. G. Gordon Gordon, Rev. Bleepo Abernathy, Bob Nelson, Glassmadness, Pope Sternodox, Snavely Eklund, Janor Hypercleats, Doktors 4 Wotan, Drs. 4 "Bob," Pope Michael Flores, and ALL OUR WIVES at that time (someone else, Autumn G. Gordon, Dottie Keckhaver, Pam Smith, Faye Hansen). Former Rev. Buck Naked is also heard. These were the days when The Bleeding Head of Arnold Palmer Launchers Society held sway over much of the Church -- little did we realize it could all be subverted by a feminist conspiracy within the Hierarchy itself! For as you shall hear, at one point The Bleeding Head Itself was endangered!
