19-Year-old Construction Worker Uses Crane to Rescue Over a Dozen People From Apartment Fire
By Good News Network - May 10, 2019

*** begin quote ***

A 19-year-old Chinese construction worker is being hailed as a hero after he saved 14 people from a burning apartment building.

Lan Junze was working at a construction site in Fushun City, Liaoning Province when he heard screams and saw smoke coming from a nearby structure.

When he rushed over to investigate, he found that the apartment building had caught fire and there were over a dozen people trapped on the third floor.

Thanks to his skill with a crane, Lan was able to use his crane to save all 14 people from the fire.

*** end quote ***

Wow, a 19 year old saves 14 people.

That’s a lifetime achievement.

Very impressive.

JEMAIL: Toner, Mike (MC1972) spots a "black hole"

2019-Jun-23

Hi f. John,

After last week's JJ, I submitted some comments through the "submit items" link/form. I didn't see it referenced in this week's issue. You usually seem to be admirable in posting and commenting on submissions, even whe the commenter disagrees with your positions. This also happened one other time a few months ago.

Now, since JJ is solely your effort, I can easily understand that you might decide to "deep six" or "spike" some comments from an unabashed liberal. But this has not been your usual practice. So, I am writing to see if there might be some glitch in your receiving comments through the submission link/form.

I am pefectly comfortable if you exercised editorial judgement in not publishing my comments. Your call as editor and CIC. However I think you'd like to know if there is a problem with receiving input from your "reporters".

Thanks, as always, for your fine efforts with JJ.

[JR: Apparently there is some kind of Wordpress bug that is not notifying me of "feedback". I'm investigating it now. I see several "feedbacks" that are in the system but I've never seen. Thanks for the heads up. As you said, I usually "publish" everything.]

ADMINISTRIVIA: Wordpress and my spam filter seem to be conspiring to hide submissions

2019-Jun-25

I think it’s straightened out, but if you don’t see your submission in the weekly collection OR an email from me explaining why I didn’t use it, you may assume I didn’t see it.  I push anything that is remotely “jasper”; even my own opinions.

I’ll be pushing the missed material.  Sorry for the delay.

Apparently the “Report Items” failed (i.e., stopped emailing me items) a long time ago I never noticed it. Argh!  I’ll catch up but it’s really frustrating.

Gino commented on MNEWS: Ann Marie Flynn wants her original teaching job

2019-May-19 https://riverdalepress.com/stories/former-prof-sues-co
llege-claiming-she-was-pushed-out,68942
Former prof sues …

Dr. Flynn is a unique genius who was sadly mistreated by the administration. We all know department politics can be nasty, but a widely respected and revered, fully tenured professor should never be fired barring a crime or not showing up.

Dr. Flynn has had a profound impact on thousands of lives and has personally mentored anyone who wanted her help and wisdom. Her ideas, instincts, mentality, and worldview are amazing in so many ways. Some of the other professors there are frankly ignorant and embarrassing. Its high time to reinstate the great Dr. Flynn!

COMMENT: Toner, Mike (MC1972) makes three points

2019-Jun-16

Dear f. John, Three points of interest from the most recent JJ:

Your endnote - In trying to reduce meat consumption - it is indeed VERY difficult to see a carrot as a steak...

Opening positraction - a very heartening story but very randomly dependent on the story going "viral". This is why I continue to support programs like Medicaid, AFDC, Food Stamps, etc. I think we need well known, well publicized programs that can support larger numbers rather than a hit or miss "go fund me" project...

Your item about the Dutch girl who wanted to end her life... Were you saying that you were now OK that she starved herself to death, where you weren't OK with her being able to end her life with prescribed drugs and presumably less pain? Would this not be a distinction without a real difference. Not sure what you meant about protecting "right to life"?

Thanks as always, for all you do to keep us connected!!

[JR: (1) Well, the Impossible Burger® is very good.  And, you just have to reeducate your taste buds. I read and follow (badly) the “How Not To Die” doc, Michael Greger’s podcast.  Ethical considerations aside, the "Uganda versus St. Louis” data made a believer out of me.  And, this stuff has been “known” for long time.  But “eat your veggies” won’t make Big Pharma, Big Medicne, politicians, and bureaucrats rich. I’m personally appalled at these facts.  (2)  I am fundamentally opposed to ANY Gooferment program.  They are by definition immoral, ineffective, and inefficient. As well as untrustworthy. Private charity is much more effective and efficient. Stealing from others is wrong, regardless of what the robber does with the results of that theft. (3) I’m a pro-life little L libertarian.  When the story was first reported it was the Gooferment killing her.  The corrected story took that element out.  I think that everyone is free to make their choices.  I would hope that as a society these stories would be rare and certainly not “encouraged” by Gooferment politicians and bureaucrats to profit others (i.e., Planned Parenthood). Before someone is “given” the drugs to kill themself, I’d hope their was a lot PRIVATELY funded counseling. We shouldn’t make animals suffer needlessly.  Same for humans. But there has to be a lot of safeguards to minimize people making an irreversible mistake. That’s also why I oppose the “death penalty” in almost all cases (i.e., except when the risk to the guards is unacceptable like Hannibal Lecter).]

[JR: Thanks for the comment.  A link to Doc Michael Greger’s book and podcast is below.]

*** begin quote ***

Maybe, the Africans were just dying early of other diseases, and so, never lived long enough to get heart disease? No; here’s age-matched heart attack rates in Uganda versus St. Louis. Out of 632 autopsies in Uganda, one myocardial infarction. Out of 632 Missourians—same age and gender distribution—136 myocardial infarctions. More than a hundred times the rate of our #1 killer. In fact, they were so blown away they did another 800 autopsies in Uganda, and still, just that one small healed infarct (meaning it wasn’t even the cause of death) out of 1,427 patients. Less than one in a thousand, whereas in the U.S., it’s an epidemic.

How do the doctors even know what to look for over there, then? Though practically unheard of among the native population, the physicians are quite familiar with heart disease, because of all the folks that immigrate to the countries in Africa.

COMMENT: Insull, Bob (MC1963) doesn't remember means tests on the Works of Mercy

2019-Apr-01

RE: ENDNOTE: Green's are dumb; "we" fat old white guy injineers need to innovate more

Comment on this week's Endnote: I don't recall there being a means test attached to either the Beatitudes or the Works of Mercy.

Insull, Bob (MC1963)

[JR: “We” may be called by whatever meme we follow (i.e., Christianity; Buddhism; Humanitarianism; Compassion; Empathy) to PERSONALLY help others.  BUT, (and there is always a BIG butt), using the Gooferment to steal from our fellow human to perform “charity” is just wrong.  Americans are extremely charitable despite what the Gooferment loots from them.  Imagine how much more “charity” would be done and how much more effective it would be if we didn’t have our wealth stolen for ineffective and inefficient Gooferment “programs”?]

JOBIT: Maloney, James M. [MC1970 RIP] 2019-Jun-23

2019-Jun-25

Good Evening All,

Terry Gaffney has shared the very sad news of the passing of a very good friend of his and many in the Manhattan Alumni Community and The College. 

James M. Maloney '70 BS was called home on June 23, 2019. He went to bed and never woke up. His death was peaceful but so sad.

As Terry says, we lost a keeper, A family man, a dear Friend, a man who was always ready to give and help out. A man who never asked anything for himself. A man who left smiles and laughter wherever he went. A man with a smile that said, please come in, you are always welcome. A Eucharistic Minister, a Life Active Member for over 40 years of Company # 1 of the Tarrytown Fire Department. At Manhattan and by many of his Friends he was called Elmira because of where he grew up. Jim was a member of the Friendly Sons of St. Patrick in New York City and Westchester. He was a presence pretty much wherever he went but he never set out to be a presence. His open heart, his spirit, love, ethics, charity, beliefs and more contributed to that presence. He will be missed by all who knew him.

We pray for the repose of his soul. We pray for his Wife of almost 40 years, Susan, and their Daughter Clare, his Brothers and Sisters and the Family as the Family mourn the loss of their loved one.


                   Visitation will be at:   Coffey Funeral Home
                                                          Tarrytown, NY
                                                          Wednesday, June 26, 2019

JFOUND: Kaelber, Henry V. [MC1981] tax and accounting practice

2019-Jun-25

https://kaelbercpa.com/


Henry V. Kaelber, CPA, CFP®
Accounting, Tax Preparation and Business Consulting Services

After graduating from Manhattan College in January of 1981, Henry began his career as a tax associate at a CPA firm on Madison Avenue in New York City. Henry worked closely with the managing partner at that firm, someone from his home town, and focused on state tax compliance by finishing up completed federal returns handed over to him. He knew then that, of all the types of accounting careers there were, taxation held a special interest. Yet, he also noticed that many of the firm’s clients worked on Wall Street and were compensated well.

After a year, Henry then left to work for a Wall Street proxy solicitation firm as their Assistant Controller. He also began to moonlight as a tax preparer to his friends, family and former college acquaintances. After a few years, Henry moved on to work at a handful of brokerage companies learning sales, operations and brokerage accounting. Then, in the summer of 1987, Henry got an opportunity to work as a bond trading accountant with a major New York investment bank. After several internal promotions, Henry rose to be an investment banker overseeing more than a dozen investment funds in the firm’s asset management division. During all this time, Henry maintained his modest tax practice. While at the investment bank, his colleagues would always ask, “why do you keep doing tax work?” And Henry would always reply, “because, this is what I plan to do after Wall Street and into retirement!”

In 1996, Henry relocated his family to Central Virginia and two years later he was offered an opportunity to become the CFO and a Director of the University of Virginia Investment Management Company – the entity responsible for managing the University of Virginia’s endowment. In 2003, Henry left UVIMCO, began to focus on expanding the tax and accounting practice he started in the early 1980’s.

Henry is a licensed Certified Public Accountant in Virginia and his firm is licensed as well. He earned the Certified Financial Planner® and the Chartered Global Management Accountant designations and has passed Level I of the Chartered Financial Analyst examination.

Work in a Workout: Tips for a Busy Post-Graduate

After I graduated from Manhattan College in 2012, I found that the best way to handle all the changes that come after graduation, was to focus on my health and fitness. As I cheerleader, I have always been active, but now that I was no longer part of a team and back home and not working out, it challenged me to find a way incorporate fitness back into my life.

I signed up at the local YMCA and began going to the gym a few days a week. It was productive, but the routine was predictable and I was not used to working out by myself. For years, I worked out with teammates and small groups and found this worked best for me. Around the time, I found myself in this rut, I ran into one of my friends from high school who was on the same cheerleading team as me. Although we lost touch in college, our interest in fitness was an easy way to pick back up our friendship. She shared her same struggle of not being motivated at the gym and we decided to look for group classes that could keep us motivated.

Zumba classes have always been a favorite of ours! It is an hour that we are just able to dance and have fun without even thinking that we were working out. My friend recently became a certified Zumba instructor, so it was a great opportunity for me to support her as well. I recommend Zumba to anyone looking to change up their routine while having a lot of fun.

I started doing yoga about two years ago after an injury, and it is one of the best decisions I could have made for myself. I go to yoga twice a week at a yoga studio and the YMCA and take Vinyasa classes. This is a beginner level class but you will see progress as you continue to go to class. Not only is this my time to unwind from the day, it has increased my flexibility and taught me techniques to calm down after a long day. Everyone can benefit from yoga, especially anyone with any back injuries.

If you are really looking for a challenge, I recommend KettleBell Kickboxing! You can search for a Certified Trainer in your area through a quick Google search. I found a gym in my hometown called Trinity Training. The staff is great and I felt very comfortable trying this class! This high intensity class is usually an hour and includes 1 minute intervals of various workouts incorporating kettle bells. You will feel the workout immediately after the class. I was sore as soon as I got home, but it was definitely worth it!

Even with all these workouts, nutrition is key in keeping up with this healthy lifestyle! Tone It Up has great nutrition plans and workouts that are easy to follow. They also have a Tone It Up Community,where you can meet girls in your area who have an interest in health and fitness.

I’m so glad that I have incorporated these classes into my regular workout because it has motivated me to keep up with this healthy lifestyle. It is also a great way to make new friends who share the same interests, which is sometimes hard to do after college. These classes are easy to find, and have great discount rates for students. Some gyms even offer free classes for first time customers.

When Hermanson returns to the Lilac City this week, he’ll be playing in his first Hoopfest, but in a different capacity than most of the 6,000-plus teams registered for the world’s biggest 3-on-3 tournament.

He and former Santa Clara guard Henry Caruso are teamed up in the eight-team Spokane Hoops 3x3 World Invitational at Nike Center Court, featuring FIBA rules and a $5,000 grand prize.

FIBA games are 10 minutes long but are continuously moving, featuring a 12-second shot clock with no breaks between buckets.

The tournament, which includes a championship berth to the Edmonton 3x3 Challenger in September, begins Friday at noon.

“With (FIBA 3x3) being in the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo next year, and us being one of the bigger 3-on-3 tournaments in the world, we thought it would be a great opportunity to showcase it at Hoopfest,” Hoopfest projects and events manager Connor Walsh said.

*** and ***

NY Harlem: The 10th-ranked 3x3 team in the world doesn’t feature a player from a major college basketball program, but that hasn’t seemed to matter.

Dominique Jones, a former member of the Harlem Globetrotters, Kidani Brutus (D-I Manhattan College), Marcel Esonwune (D-III York College) and Antoinne Morgano are aiming for cash and an even higher ranking.

Charles H. Johnston
Obituary

Charles H. Johnston of Warminster, Pa. passed away peacefully and surrounded by family in Warminster on Tuesday, June 25, 2019. He was 90.

Born in Newburg, N.Y., he was the son of the late Charles and Helen Johnston. A beloved husband for 57 years, he now joins his wife Joan Johnston (May 25, 2019) in everlasting peace.

He will be forever remembered by his surviving children, Lorie Ford Ratajczak, Kimberly Johnston, Jennifer Johnston, Ken Johnston, and son-in-law, Michael Ratajczak.

He left a lasting and loving impression on his four surviving grandchildren: Elijah Ford, Kate and Jack Bryan, and Mckenna Johnston. He is also survived by his niece, Kathleen Disher (Charles), and his nephew, Michael Yates (Kristine).

He was preceded in death by his wife, Joan, his sister, Ann E. Yates, and his parents, Charles and Helen Johnston.

Following graduation in 1950 from Manhattan College in New York, Charles served his country honorably as a Sergeant in the United States Army during the Korean War. After more than 65 years, Charles twice retired from the Social Security Administration. He was a faithful member of St. Robert Bellarmine Roman Catholic Church.

Charlie was soft spoken with a quick, dry sense of humor. The things that gave him the greatest joy in life included spending time with his family, ancestry research, horse racing, coin collecting, sports, birding, and painting. Charlie was a history buff and an avid reader.

The visitation and Mass will be celebrated Monday, July 1, at St. Robert Bellarmine Church, 856 Euclid Ave., Warrington, PA 18976. Relatives and friends may call from 9:30 a.m. until Mass at 10:30 a.m. with Msgr. Beisel conducting. Burial will follow Mass at St. John Neumann Cemetery, 3797 County Line Rd., Chalfont, PA 18914.

In lieu of flowers, donations to St. Robert Bellarmine Church would be appreciated.

Becoming a parent is a major transition in one’s life. Like all major life changes, the arrival of a baby can be stressful. For some mothers and fathers this normal stress reaction can turn into anxiety and depression, but it doesn’t have to. With the right guidance and preparation, postpartum anxiety and depression can be prevented. Over the past 15 years I’ve developed strategies that are practical and immediately usable. The skills I teach to expecting and new parents target the patterns that allow depression and anxiety to take over. These strategies can be taught to anyone looking to learn how to prevent and overcome anxiety.

Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) of Union County welcomed former Westfield Mayor Andy Skibitsky and Chris Ryan, also of Westfield, to its board of trustees.

CASA of Union County is a nonprofit organization that recruits, trains, supervises and supports community volunteers to advocate for abused, neglected and abandoned Union County children removed from home and placed in foster care or residential facilities. There are more than 500 Union County children in foster care, and the organization currently serves just over half. Its mission is to be able to provide an advocate for every youth in care.

Ryan, an adjunct professor at Seton Hall University, teaches international marketing to business school students. Prior to academia, Ryan spent more than two decades with international wine importer Dreyfus, Ashby & Co., ultimately serving as president and chief executive officer.

Of his appointment to the board, Ryan noted, “At the end of the day it is all about our children — each and every one deserves the opportunity to be happy and content.

ENDNOTE: The nuclear family is the foundation of America's greatness

Venker: The Future Of Men & Marriage Is Bleak
Sun, 06/16/2019 - 19:30
Authored by Suzanne Venker, op-ed via The Washington Examiner

*** begin quote ***

With Father's Day upon us, the time has come to address as a nation what Heather Mac Donald noted earlier this year is "the greatest social catastrophe of our time": fatherlessness. Fatherlessness is the No. 1 cause of nearly all social ills we face. We can't afford to ignore it any longer.

To be clear, father absence is the more accurate term, since fatherlessness implies that men have become "deadbeat dads" — nothing could be further from the truth. Sure, this faction exists, as do "deadbeat moms." But the two most significant threats to a father's presence in the home are divorce and out-of-wedlock births.

*** and ***

That's really what we're up against this Father's Day: a lost generation of men. But it will be our loss in the end. We can't afford for men to retreat any further than they have. The nuclear family is the foundation of America's greatness; and a dearth of productive men invariably means, as Tucker Carlson noted in January, the subsequent disintegration of marriage.

*** end quote ***

I agree that “family” is the bedrock of any society.  The “launching pad” for a good posterity and even individual “greatness” — however you define it.  We might even tinker around the edges of the definition of family.  Since I come from a single mother home, my family was all my aunts, uncles, and grandparents that made sure I had more than enough.  Throw in a few good Nuns and Christian Brothers, and maybe a few “crazy ones” too.  I certainly had my start in the right direction.

I feel for those who didn’t have it as “easy” as I did.  But “lemons and lemonade”.  Even the silver spoon children have their own unique set of challenges.

But we as a society should recognize that “family” is critical to the USA’s “greatness”.  Hopefully to come and not behind our generation.
