As a dad of two young girls, I'm always wondering what they'll remember about me when they're older.Of course, our relationship will evolve and change a lot over the years, and hopefully I'll be around for a long time! But I wonder how much they'll recall from the early days. Will they remember the little games we used to play? Will they forever hold a grudge about the time I raised my voice? Will they even vaguely recall the vacations my wife and I meticulously planned?A heartwarming Reddit thread proves that people actually remember a lot about their parents from when they were young... and it's often the littlest memories that last the longest.User u/flirtyxfairy kicked off a great discussion with the prompt: What is something good that your parent(s) did for you that you will never forget?The thread racked up hundreds and hundreds of comments, but most of the incredible responses boiled down to just a small handful of impactful things.Showing love through food Photo by Annie Spratt on Unsplash Whether it's mom or dad cooking up some comfort food, or just the run-of-the-mill tastes of home, people had powerful and emotional memories of their parents' food."My mom waiting at home with a cup of tea and cookies everyday coming home from school. That’s how I’d describe “home” - natashamerczak"When I was struggling with my first breakup, my mom showed up with a tub of ice cream and a playlist of all my favorite sad songs. We had a mini dance party in the living room—moved from tears to laughter in no time. That little gesture made me feel like I could survive anything." - Ok-Ring-1710"My mom made the best pancakes every Sunday. like a legit pancake heaven." - blissnifty"When I was eight, my Mom would take me to TCBY( a frozen yogurt restaurant) every day after school. We would talk and get to know each other." - Elizabeth74G"Mom made me spaghetti for my birthday. We was on a really tight budget but she still provided me one of the best birthdays I've ever had." - AylenInspiresU"My parents always made sure we had family dinners every night. Looking back, those moments kept us connected even when life got busy, and it’s something I want to continue with my own family one day." - bimbocutieNurturing and encouragementEncouraging your kids to be who they are was a big hit with many users in the thread. When moms and dads just listened and offered support no matter what, their kids never forgot it."I remember when I was younger, I was really into art, but it wasn’t seen as a "practical" career choice. Instead of discouraging me, my parents enrolled me in art classes and bought me supplies. Their support made me believe in myself and gave me the confidence to follow my dreams. Even though I didn't end up choosing art as a career, that unconditional support taught me the value of following my heart, and I’ll always be grateful for that." - Trone1945"One thing my parents did for me that I’ll never forget was how they always supported my weird, nerdy interests without judgment. I went through a phase where I was super into collecting insects (yeah, jars of bugs everywhere), and instead of being grossed out or telling me to stop, they actually bought me books about entomology and helped me set up proper habitats." - WhiteDevilMagic Photo by Annie Spratt on Unsplash "I hated school. Few friends. I didn't want to be there. And I didn't enjoy reading. Which made school that much harder. Mom came home from hitting garage sales one Saturday with a grocery bag of sci-fi books. Which I devoured! I was reading one or two books a day over the summer. This helped me in school. While I didn't thrive. Life was much easier Without that boost, I can't guess how my life would have evolved." - krichard-21"My mom once told me I could be anything I wanted, so I told her I wanted to be a dinosaur. Instead of shutting me down, she spent a week helping me practice my roar. Not sure if that was good parenting or just her way of keeping me busy, but I'll never forget it!" - NewtHot620(I'll admit, that one is a personal favorite.)"One of the most memorable things my parents did for me was encouraging my passion for learning. They always supported my interests, whether it was signing me up for classes, taking me to museums, or just having long discussions about my favorite subjects. Their belief in my potential instilled a sense of confidence that has stayed with me throughout my life." - Sad_Educator_3978"my mom always made time to listen to me, no matter how busy she was. like, i’d come home stressed about school or life, and she’d sit with me and just let me vent without judgment. it’s something that stuck with me, and i’ll never forget how much that helped. made me feel like i wasn’t alone in dealing with stuff." - SnobbbyCatLife lessons & preparednessIt's not always the mushy, sentimental things that kids remember when they grow up. If anything, this thread was conclusive proof that one day your children WILL appreciate all those life-lessons they rolled their eyes at when they were young!"They made me pay rent when I got my first job and I hated it. On my 18th bday they gave me access to 'my' bank account. They saved it all up for me, so I could decorate my first apartment for free… i love them." - starks8253"Charged me rent from ages 16-18 and then gave it all back to me when I moved out into my first flat. It was honestly such a help…" - Spare-Cell1371"Encouraged me to study foreign languages well before it was required or even a common thing to do (yeah, grew up in the U.S. in the 80's). It opened all kinds of doors career-wise and I now live in a different country." - zoeyversustheraccoon"Strict with my education. I was allowed to do whatever I wanted (hobbies, extracurricular etc) but school always had to come first. Instilled a good work ethic in me from a young age." - thatsimsgirlDads setting a good exampleDads get a bad rap, and let's be real — sometimes they deserve it. But when dad steps up and shows up? It has a lifelong positive impact on kids, who will look up to their father's example for a lifetime. Photo by Caleb Jones on Unsplash "My periods were really severe when I was a teen. I am talking heavy bleeding full 7 days and a fever. Every month my dad would get me my duvet and pillow from upstairs, make a hot water bottle, get me my favourite movie from the video (rental) store, get some ice cream and chocolate as well. Settle me on the couch and pamper me for the first 2 days that were the heaviest." - Long_Taro_9529"My dad always apologized when he was wrong. I used to take it for granted until I grew up and realized a LOT of people had never gotten an apology from their parents before. This really helped me because I find it easy to own to my mistakes and make amends where necessary." - iusedtobepretty"My dad drove some horrendous commutes so we never had to move throughout my childhood. It wasn't until I started driving that I realized how bad Atlanta traffic was, and that man would drive 75 minutes each way so my brother and I could grow up in one house, not have to move schools/make new friends. Many people would have moved to the new area when they changed jobs, but my dad made this choice and I've told him since how much I appreciated the stability." - altocleftattooParents out there, take note. If you're like me and you spend a significant amount of time worrying about "screwing your kids up," this should make you feel optimistic — they do remember all the effort you put in. Even if they don't appreciate your cooking or your sage wisdom now, one day they'll be glad you kept it going anyway.

Hurricane Helene swept across five states leaving debris and devastation in its trail. The massive storm made landfall at a category 4 hammering, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina and Virginia leaving many stranded unable to get to loved ones. While most people are trying to find the safest way to get back to homes they were forced to abandon for safety, some had other reasons to travel. David Jones from South Carolina had a wedding to attend in Tennessee–his daughter's. Hurricane Helene almost made it impossible for the dedicated dad to be their for his daughter's big day but he refused to accept that he would miss walking his daughter down the aisle. The drive from where Jones lives in South Carolina to his daughter's wedding venue in Tennessee is only a two hour drive on a normal day. But it was anything but normal after a multi-state hurricane left roads impassable and others completely wiped off the map. Jones set out on what should've been a short road trip the night before his daughter's wedding, which was scheduled for 11 AM but detours on Interstate 26 extended his drive time. It took the man seven hours to reach the Tennessee border where a state trooper informed him that he couldn't drive any further due to the damage left by the storm.

Photo by Library of Congress on Unsplash Instead of giving up and turning around, Jones decided he would get there the best way he knew how, taking the Heel-Toe Express, party of one. He set off walking at 2 AM in complete darkness with nothing but his cell phone flashlight to guide him as he trekked 30 miles to make it to the wedding on time. Jones is no stranger to traveling long distances by foot. The devoted dad is a former marathoner so he felt prepared to cover the 30 miles to get the rest of the way to his daughter but the trek turns into more than he imagined. person standing in middle of concrete road near trees Photo by Nik Shuliahin ?? on Unsplash "It just… it’s awful. And I can tell you a lot about the mud and the debris fields where I have to climb six, seven-foot-tall piles of debris of old fences and huge trees and it was just a tangled mess and dead-end roads and all kinds of things,” Jones explains to WJHL 11.It was an adventure Jones hadn't planned to have. The man climbed and crawled over remnants left behind from the storm in the dark all alone and at one point became trapped in the mud up to his knees. It was then that he was almost hit with a backhoe by workers who were clearing debris off the roads who didn't see him stuck in the mud in the dark. After maneuvering around, barely missed by the man swinging the backhoe, Jones was able to free himself. Nothing was going to stop him from waking his daughter down the aisle. man in black suit hugging woman in white wedding dress Photo by Chip Vincent on Unsplash "I'd have to climb 6, 7 foot tall mounds of debris, old fences, huge trees and tangled...just tangled mess," Jones tells the station. Jones picked up a reflective stake along the way in hopes to help cars see him as he walked to the wedding in the dark. There was no stopping him and all of his determination paid off because he made it to his daughter's wedding in time. Jones cleaned up so well before seeing his daughter in her wedding dress that she had no clue that her dad walked for more than five hours in the middle of the night to be there. Parents will do just about anything for their children, especially if it involves showing up for a milestone event. While many who were affected by the hurricane are still trying to piece together remnants of their lives, the tale of a dad who wouldn't give up on his daughter's big day is a bright spot in the aftermath. Jones' daughter was moved by her father's actions once she found out what he went through to be there for her saying to the news station, "that's so emotionally moving that my dad loves me that much that he would come and go through all of that to get to my wedding." If his daughter ever doubts how much her father loves her, she doesn't need to look far for a reminder. Jones gifted his daughter and new son-in-law the reflective stake he held during his treacherous walk at the wedding reception. Of course the dad shares that he doesn't think he did anything heroic to get to the wedding but surely this is story that will be passed down for generations.

High schoolers have been studying Shakespeare plays for generations, grappling with the bard's language as they learn to appreciate his brilliance. The further we get away from Shakespearean English, though, the more challenging it is for young people to understand it, giving teachers the formidable task of helping their students relate to 400-year-old English. What better way to prep them for it than to translate Shakespeare's storylines into their language?That's what comedian Richard Franks did by summarizing "Romeo and Juliet" entirely in Gen Z slang, and teachers are praising him for it. Watch him leave no crumbs: See on Instagram From Juliet seeing Romeo as "an absolute snack" to the Capulets and the Montagues "beefing hard" to "it's giving bruh, just check your messages" when Romeo mistakenly believes Juliet's really dead, it's modern translation perfection. It's meant to be comedy, but it has real educational valueEnglish teachers in the comments were thrilled to find a fun, engaging way to introduce "Romeo and Juliet" to their students:"As an English teacher, this is going into my lesson on R&J with Year 9 next week. ?""I'm humiliating year 10 with this first thing Monday morning.""This is brilliant. I had a professor who would sit on the edge of his desk and tell us all about The Canterbury Tales. Just the major highlights, some interesting background and then say go read it. They are such hilarious raunchy tales that everyone went off, struggled through the Middle English and read it. I was an English teacher and this is how you keep them engaged. Amazing.""I have spent 40 years working with high school in college students, editing, papers, grading papers, and this honest goodness is the best explanation of Romeo and Juliet I have ever heard. I am laughing tears.??""As someone who has majored in Shakespeare, this is downright hilarious ?"via GIPHYA lesson in Shakespeare, but also a lesson in Gen Z slangPeople are also loving Franks' skit as much for the Gen Z slang lesson as the other way around:"This is beyond brilliant because it works two ways: kids can understand Shakespeare, and olds can understand kids. The level of your intelligence and comedic genius is off the charts!""You think you're teaching Gen Z Shakespeare. But really you're teaching Gen X modern slang. Thank you for your service.""As a 52 year young Olds, I actually finally understood some of the new young slang taken in the context of the play recap!""YAAASSS!!! ? My knowledge of Shakespeare was translating the Gen Z lingo for me ?""This is the best break down of Romeo and Juliet I've ever heard...And I'm Gen X ?."This is not Franks' first foray into translating Shakespeare into Gen Z. He also has a Macbeth breakdown that's equally brilliant: See on Instagram Arguably, that one's even more impressive as "Macbeth" is a harder plot to follow in many ways than "Romeo and Juliet."As one commenter wrote, "This is brilliant - and beyond the humor, it is a fascinating study of language. Shakespeare as written is not really anything close to any kind of modern English at all, and even many familiar words had different meanings or usages/connotations. But the story itself, if we can manage to understand it at its core, is tragic and brilliant. Language is constantly evolving—if he were alive today, I bet Shakespeare would get an enormous kick out of this.???"Shakespeare probably would have loved thisSeveral commenters shared that they thought Shakespeare would enjoy this, and considering the way he played with language, invented words and used slang himself in his writing, they may be right. Language is ever-evolving, but few people in history have had more of a direct impact on the English language than Shakespeare. As much as English has changed since the late 1500s, there are many words widely believed to be created or first used by Shakespeare that we use regularly today, including "lonely," "rant," "obscene," "gossip" and more.So Gen Z's distortion or invention of words to communicate is right up Shakespeare's alley. The famous poet and playwright didn't just invent words but created phrases we use today as well. "Breaking the ice" and "heart of gold" are Shakespeare's babies, so Gen Z phrases like "main character energy" are basically giving Shakespeare vibes. via GIPHYFrom an educational standpoint, Franks' videos are great for illustrating how ideas can be expressed in various ways, even when people speak the same language, in addition to helping hook young people into Shakespeare's stories by putting the plot into terms they relate to. What a fun jumping off point for a lesson on Shakespeare, all from the mind of a comedian. Shakespeare would surely be proud.You can follow Richard Franks on Instagram for more comedy.

In the 5 days since Hurricane Helene made landfall on the southeastern coast of the U.S., over 120 people have died from the tremendous winds and flooding. Although the devastation has been tragic, there have also been beautiful acts of heroism to give us all a glimmer of hope in the wake of destruction.On Friday, September 27, FOX Weather Meteorologist Bob Van Dillen was broadcasting from Peach Tree Creek in Atlanta, Georgia. He and his crew heard a woman screaming while doing a live TV set up in the pre-dawn hours. She had driven into a flooded area and her car was rapidly filling with water. "I just put the microphone down and called 911," he told Fox Weather. "I know that those guys are swamped, so we waited about five minutes. She was getting panicked a little bit more because the water was coming up a little bit higher."After realizing the emergency services probably wouldn’t make it in time. He took matters into his own hands and waded into the chest-deep water to help the woman escape her car. "She was in there, she was still strapped into her car and the water was actually rising and getting up into the car itself, so she was about, almost neck deep submerged in her own car,” Van DIllen later told FOX News. - YouTube www.youtube.com "She would have drowned," host Janice Dean said."You know, I don’t know," Van Dillen humbly replied. "I told her, ‘OK, undo your seatbelt,’ she undid her seatbelt. I said, ‘Let me have your phone, let me have your bags,’ then put [her] on my back and we walked in… she’s fine, she was in shock," Van Dillen said. The 6-foot-1 weatherman then carried her back through the water to safety.When the woman reached safety, Van Dillen gave her a warm shirt and put her in a car while she waited for a firetruck and her husband to arrive. When the husband arrived at the rescue scene, he hugged Van Dillen, shook his hand and thanked him repeatedly. Van Dillen's crew caught the heroic deed on tape, but the weatherman didn’t want to be the center of attention, so he kept trying to refocus the story on the storm's devastation. "Her husband picked her up, and she's all good," Van Dillen said. "But the story now turns not on me, but it turns to how much flooding we've seen. I mean … amazing amounts coming in."He even downplayed the bravery of his rescue. "You know how it is. I was concerned that one, maybe there was a nice swift current, but the current really wasn’t that bad. But, the water temperature I was afraid of, too. The water temperature is probably about 80 [degrees]. So, all of those things were working pretty nicely, so, that being said, the water came up to about my chest," Van Dillen told Fox News. - YouTube www.youtube.com Initial reports showed that the first 3 days of the hurricane were the wettest in Atlanta in 104 years and a flash flood emergency warning was declared for the first time in the city’s history. George Governor Brian Kemp says that Helene’s damage will far exceed Hurricane Michael's in 2018. "It has been unlike any other storm I think we've ever faced because of the size of the wind field that this storm brought through and how it literally is affecting 159 counties, not just 20 or 30 counties in south Georgia," Kemp said according to Fox 5 Atlanta.

Four regional trade organizations (RTO), as they’re called, recently filed an amicus brief, also known as a friend of the court brief, in support of a multi-state lawsuit against the EPA over the rule. The EPA released the rules in April. They require coal-fired power plants that will be operating past 2039 to begin implementing carbon-capture technologies in just eight years. New gas-fired power plants will also need to add the technologies, with those operating 40% of their annual capacity or more to add carbon capture starting in 2032. Isaac Orr and Mitch Rolling, co-founder and researchers with Always On Energy Research, performed an analysis on behalf of the North Dakota Transmission Authority on the impacts the rules would have on the Midcontinent Independent Systems Operator (MISO), an RTO that covers a swath of the center of the U.S. The researchers say they found a number of problems. The EPA grossly overestimated the ability of intermittent wind and solar to deliver reliable electricity during peak demand periods, according to the analysis, and it also found the agency didn’t perform any reliability analysis on the rules. The result would be blackouts lasting days in some cases. “So they don’t say things out in the open, that maybe they should,” Rolling said. The 2019 blackouts in California, the deadly Texas blackouts in the 2021 Winter Storm Uri, and the Christmas 2022 blackouts in the Southeast, Rolling said, should have been a wakeup call for the country that there are growing risks to our electricity grid. So far, they haven’t deterred the net-zero by 2050 advocates from their agenda. Source: justhenews.com Kamala releases economic ‘plan’ that copies Bidenomics point by point   Vice President Kamala Harris released an 82-page document explaining her vision for the economy on Wednesday, but the plan shares much in common with President Joe Biden’s economic agenda. The plan, titled “A New Way Forward For The Middle Class,” proposes to build upon Biden initiatives like student loan debt cancellation, industrial policy, huge subsidies for green energy and going after corporations for alleged price gouging. Prior to quitting the presidential race under immense political pressure, voters were largely dissatisfied with Biden’s economy, which had come to be defined by 40-year high inflation. “Harris isn’t going to stray very far from current Biden policies,”  Harris aims to “[make] corporations and the wealthiest Americans pay their fair share in taxes,” something she plans to do by essentially replicating the $5 trillion tax hike that Biden’s fiscal year 2024 budget request called for. Some of Harris’ “common sense” reforms that would fuel this tax hike include a 25% unrealized capital gains tax for high-earning Americans and a top capital gains tax rate of 33%, an aggressive-but-less-ambitious alternative to the 44.6% rate that Biden has proposed. Harris’ plan also calls for a $25,000 subsidy for qualifying first-time homebuyers. This would actually end up raising home prices, in large part because “the best way to reduce housing prices is to build more housing, not to subsidize existing housing,” according to Young.

Example: Within the network of essential goods, refined fuel is a critical component.  I am not sure how the Port of Tampa and Port of Everglades would be impacted, but most fuel deliveries into Florida come from these two ports. I would consider fuel a vital and essential product.  Stop the offloading of fuel and things can get sketchy quickly for the Florida economy. On a global scale, stopping the export of USA generated Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) could be a potential problem for Europe. The EU is now dependent on non-Russian energy stores, the USA exports are a component of those needs.  The U.S. Maritime Alliance, or USMX, an organization bargaining on behalf of the dockworkers’ employers, claims that only 25,000 workers will be impacted by the likely work stoppage. I don’t think we quite know which sectors would be most affected. On the agricultural side, deliveries of perishable imports like bananas would likely lead to almost immediate price increases if those products were stopped.   One angle is predictable.  If there are shortages of goods that create problems for those in politics, hurricane Helene will likely be used as an excuse for supply chain disruption.  It will be difficult to gauge the accuracy of any deflective claim.  The ability to deflect this scenario, it’s not the ports – it’s the bridges and roads, can be exploited by the Biden administration. The Wall Street corporations have a narrative to push, represented by ABC News:   “If you start having a very extended strike you’ll be looking at temporary layoffs because plants can’t get their parts,” Miller said.   the last time East and Gulf Coast workers went on strike, in 1977, the work stoppage lasted seven weeks. “  Source: theconservativetreehouse.com pic.twitter.com/wk99m9yaRl — HOTROD (@RubenRodInSa) September 28, 2024 JUST IN: Ohio State Senator Niraj Antani introduces bill to require Ohio to accept #Bitcoin for taxes. pic.twitter.com/2DZTVQBmSO — Bitcoin Magazine (@BitcoinMagazine) September 30, 2024   Political/Rights Blank paper.

Gavin Newsom   signed a bill into law that reverses measures supported by Vice President Kamala Harris that prosecuted parents for truancy. While serving as the state’s attorney general, Harris praised the law and even used it against parents of children who were not showing up to school, an issue that has been highlighted as the 2024 presidential campaign continues. SB-691, authored by State Sen. Anthony Portantino, modifies how school districts notify parents or guardians when their child has been classified as a truant. It also implements changes focused on improving attendance through supportive measures rather than targeting parents for prosecution. The new law removes language related to legal penalties, including potential prosecution, and suggests that parents attend class with their children. Under the legislation, districts sending information to parents about their child’s truancy will also include information about available mental health and supportive services for both the student and their family. The law reinforces parents’ right to meet with school officials to discuss remedies for their children’s truancy. It also mandates that truancy notifications include information on how missing school can negatively impact a student’s academic success. Portantino, who submitted the bill, argued that issuing threats to prosecute parents is not the best way to make sure their children attend class. “When we actually provide pertinent information and don’t try to criminalize parents, we actually get more kids in seats,” he told the San Francisco Chronicle. This is in direct contradiction to Harris’ approach when she was California’s attorney general.   Source: redstate.com   Potential Ports Shutdown, Sex Trafficking & Diddy!

Children are thrown in these containers often naked, drugged and with no food or water for days. They arrive at their destination famished, covered in urine, blood and feces and many don’t survive. They’re transported in these horrific conditions by design to intentionally traumatize them. They become so broken from the journey alone which enables traffickers and their pedophile clients to manage them more easily. The kids are then auctioned off at another location or at the port sites and the buyers often pick up the child sex slaves in unmarked cars. Ports may shut down in Boston, New York/New Jersey, Philadelphia, Wilmington, North Carolina, Baltimore, Norfolk, Virginia, Charleston, South Carolina, Savannah, Georgia, Jacksonville, Florida, Tampa, Florida, Miami, New Orleans, Mobile, Alabama, and Houston.

Anna Paulina Luna’s Primary Opponent Charged With Threatening to Assassinate Her With Russian-Ukrainian Hit Squad   A Republican who ran against Florida Rep. Anna Paulina Luna has been charged with threatening to assassinate her with a Russian-Ukrainian hit squad. William Braddock, who ran against Luna in the primary election for Florida’s 13th Congressional District, was arrested in the Philippines after fleeing the country in a bid to evade justice. The Department of Justice said in a press release: According to the indictment, William Robert Braddock III, 41, of St. Petersburg, and Victim 1 were candidates in the primary election to represent the 13th Congressional District of Florida in the U.S. House of Representatives. Victim 2 was a private citizen and acquaintance of Victim 1. On June 8, 2021, Braddock made several threats to injure and kill Victim 1 and Victim 2 during a telephone call with Victim 2. Specifically, Braddock threatened, in part, to “call up my Russian-Ukrainian hit squad” and make Victim 1 disappear.

What emerged from the ten states (AZ, GA, MI, MN, NC, NM, NV, PA, VA, and WI) was fascinating.   Most amazingly, voters in all states, often by significant majorities, love Trump; they just don’t know it. I’ve appended below a chart showing my analysis of the ten-state poll data. Here’s a link to a bigger version of the chart.     Most obviously, the chart is a sea of red. In a sane world, anchored to reality, the 2024 election should be a Trump blow-out.   The number one issue is the economy, and the most common number two issue is the border. Abortion is the next most common issue. (There were other issues in the poll, but these were almost invariably the top three.) The economy is a red issue because Kamala is the incumbent. If voters are concerned about the economy, it means that they think the current situation is lousy, favoring the opponent (Trump). The same rationale applies to the border. Abortion, of course, is a blue issue because it’s the only thing Kamala can campaign on. Block three reflects people’s responses when asked what they want the new president to address first. People across all but the bluest of blue states are concerned about immigration and the economy—which means they want a change from the status quo. Kamala is the status quo, so this favors Trump.  In every state, voters agree by huge margins that they are not better off, that they feel hopeless about their children, and that the world is less safe than it was four years ago. This is as profound an indictment as you will ever see of the current administration. People agreed that the biggest threats, both foreign and domestic are either China or the Democrat party. Most worry about the Republican party, too, although a bit less, so that’s a win. The most interesting metric is that when it comes to threats from evil actors overseas, voters overwhelmingly feel that Trump is more capable of handling those potentially existential threats. Only in New Mexico are voters split on whether Trump or Kamala is the better candidate.  the red chart shows that Trump must make a play for moderate Democrats and Independents. Again, he will not convince them to vote for him, but he needs to remind them that (a) they’re suffering terribly from Harris-Biden policies and (b) that they know he can make their lives better. That’s a winning message that needs to be shouted from the treetops.
