This spending is inevitably going to stoke demand. Inflation is already running at above 9pc in the US and showing little sign of coming under control. And, unlike in Europe, price rises are being driven by higher demand, not restricted supply.

While European prices have been jacked up by the Ukraine war, that is not true of the US. It is self-sufficient in oil and gas, and also in grain (it is actually a major exporter of wheat).The war has not made any difference to the US.

Instead, inflation was sparked by Biden and the Fed: the Presidents wild spending, doling out $2,000 cheques to everyone, and the Feds willingness to finance it with freshly printed money. If the government pours another $739bn of stimulus into an economy already at full employment and with inflation running rampant, the Fed wont have any choice but to raise interest rates more aggressively or else let prices run completely out of control.

The second problem is Bidens new plan imposes a huge new round of taxes on business. The new minimum tax is actually a disguised increase, since it will be imposed on companies regardless of standard deductions for investment, R&D or any other mainstream expenses or reliefs.

On top of that, Bidens plan imposes a new 1pc levy on share buybacks, a measure the American Left has for years campaigned for. You can argue for or against it in fact, with high corporate taxes, buybacks are an efficient way of returning money to shareholders but there is no question it will take more money off companies and cause huge damage to Wall Street, which relies on companies to put cash back into the market.

Add it all up, and the new Inflation Reduction Act imposes a huge increase in corporate taxes. The result? Investment will be damaged, the supply side of the economy will shrink, and that will make inflation even worse.

Finally, despite claiming to reduce the deficit, the plan will send debt soaring upwards. As Rishi Sunak would have discovered if he had remained as chancellor, increasing corporate taxes sounds easy but the money generally does not materialise. Companies work around them or go elsewhere.

Biden will unleash the spending, but the planned revenues will never turn up, and the deficit will rise and rise. The US debt-to-GDP ratio has already hit an alarming 137pc of GDP, and may start to get towards Italian levels (currently 148pc of GDP). With the worlds reserve currency, the US can probably get away with that. But there is no point in pretending it will control inflation that is not what debt does.

On taking office, President Biden inherited an economy that was already overheating from his predecessors wild spending, and was still struggling to cope with the supply crisis left over from the pandemic. His vast stimulus package has sparked the worst bout of inflation in four decades, as many economists warned it would at the time.

Now he plans to double down on that catastrophic mistake. His Inflation Reduction Act will do nothing to control prices but it will crash the global economy all over again.

Burns Hargis, Jay Helm and Stacy McMahan to be inducted into Spears Hall of Fame

(STILLWATER, Oklahoma, Aug. 9, 2022) Oklahoma State Universitys Spears School of Business will honor three alumni OSU President Emeritus Burns Hargis, Jay Helm and Stacy McMahan with their induction into the schools Hall of Fame on Nov. 11 at the ConocoPhillips OSU Alumni Center.

Hargis, Helm and McMahan will be honored as inductees into the Spears Schools Hall of Fame, the highest honor awarded by Spears Business.

Also, business school alums Alex Evers, Jimmie J Mays, Matt Scovil and Brittany Surine will be honored as Outstanding Young Alumni at the banquet.

This years Hall of Fame honorees have distinguished themselves in business and public service, said Dr. Ken Eastman, dean of Spears Business. It is our privilege to recognize them for their achievements and for the positive distinction they have brought Spears Business and OSU. Our four younger alums have already crafted exciting careers for themselves and we know that more great things lie ahead of them.

Hargis served as OSUs president from March 10, 2008 until retiring July 1, 2021, leading the university to unprecedented heights during his leadership. Transplanted to Oklahoma during his sophomore year of high school, Hargis enrolled at OSU in 1963. He took legendary department head Wilton T. Andersons basic introduction to accounting class and loved it, so much so that he became an accounting major. He graduated with a bachelors degree in accounting in 1967 and then went to graduate law school at the University of Oklahoma in 1970.

Hargis practiced law in Oklahoma City for 28 years, where he worked with the firm of McAfee & Taft. In 1997, Hargis joined the Bank of Oklahoma, where he rose to become the vice chairman. He was a president of the Oklahoma County Bar Association, former president of the Oklahoma Bar Foundation and is a Fellow of the American Bar Foundation. Hargis was also a candidate for the Republican nomination for Governor of Oklahoma in 1990.

Then in 2008, he became the 18th president of OSU. As president, he created a campus culture of collaboration, innovation, wellness, mutual respect and success. During Hargis presidency, OSU set historic enrollment and fundraising records, with pledges and cash surpassing the Branding Success campaigns $1 billion goal, nearly two years ahead of schedule.

The funds have provided student scholarships, faculty endowments and funding support for much-needed facilities like the new building for Spears Business and other vital programs.

Other activities which Hargis was instrumental included his service as vice-chairman of the Oklahoma State Election Board, member of the Oklahoma Constitutional Revision Commission and as chairman of the Oklahoma Commission for Human Services. He is a former member of the Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools and was appointed to the OSU/A&M Board of Regents in 2002 but left the board in 2007 when the opportunity to become president of OSU presented itself.

Hargis also served as an OSU Board of Governor-Former and Board of Governor-Former Trustee. OSU honored him with several awards, including the 1991 OSU Distinguished Alumni, 2008 School of Accounting Distinguished Alumni, and the 2021 OSU-Tulsa Icon A Stately Affair honoree. Hargis was also the recipient of the Journal Records Legacy Award 2020. Hargis was inducted into the Oklahoma Hall of Fame in 2009.

Hargis and his wife, Ann, were active across campus, interacting regularly with OSUs diverse student body. As strong proponents of wellness, they led OSUs initiative as Americas Healthiest Campus andcreated Petes Pet Posse, a nationally unique pet therapy program, which led to the creation of the Ann Hargis OSU Center for Pet Therapy.

As members of OSUs Heritage Society and the Proud and Immortal $2.5 Million club, the Hargises are leaving a long-lasting legacy of scholarships and professorships from their Ann and Burns Hargis Endowed Professorship to their Rosalie Burns Hargis Family Fund to their University Leadership Scholarship.

Helm is chairman of American Residential Group, a commercial real estate firm engaged in the development and management of multifamily residential properties throughout the Sun Belt region with a focus in Oklahoma and Texas.

A native of Missouri, Helm moved to Tulsa with his family at 15 years old and graduated from Tulsa Edison High School. He chose to attend OSU, where his love for the Cowboys and the state of Oklahoma flourished. A member of the Sigma Chi fraternity, an experience that deepened his passion for OSU, he graduated in 1970 with a bachelors degree in business administration and immediately threw himself into supporting OSU as a football and basketball booster.

After graduation, Helm went to work for the Hardesty Company managing the home building division. After a few years, he made the move to Midland Mortgage, now known as MidFirst Bank. Prior to forming American Residential Group in 1997, he served as managing partner for Lincoln Property Company in the Oklahoma and Arkansas regions.

In 2001, Helms passion for broad and equal access to quality public higher education was recognized by Gov. Frank Keating and he was appointed to the OSU/A&M Board of Regents, serving twice as chairman. He served for 12 years until he was appointed to the State Regents for Higher Education in 2013 by Gov. Mary Fallin. He served the State Regents, including as chairman, until his retirement in 2022. He now serves as chairman of the Board of Trustees for OSU Medical Authority and chairman of the Board of Trustees for the OSU Medical Trust.

He has been honored several times by his alma mater. In 2009, he received the OSU-CHS Distinguished Public Service Award, and in 2014 he made the Spears School Tributes: 100 for 100 list. In 2017, he was selected as an OSU in Tulsa Icon for his contributions to the university.

He grew up in Waurika, Oklahoma, where his family has operated Bills Fish House, a catfish restaurant, since 1962. His childhood was spent in the kitchen and front of the house, learning all aspects of the business.

After graduating from OSU, Mays moved to Oklahoma City in 2008, opening Caf 7 Delicatessen & Pastaria with the help of one of his OSU professors, Paul Sorrentino. Soon after the opening of Caf 7, his fraternity brother, Chris Kana, joined him as a partner. In 2010, they opened a second Caf 7 in downtown Oklahoma City.

Word one: Life in Christ is realized through the sacraments of divine baptism, holy anointing and communion

36. Since before the Cross it was impossible to find forgiveness of sins and deliverance from punishment, what righteousness can be thought of at all? It is inconsistent, I think, that before they are reconciled, they should fall into the place of friends, and while still in fetters, should be proclaimed victors.[8] After all, if that lamb[9] had finished everything, what was the point of what happened next? Since those types and images [ ] were able to bring about the blessedness thus sought [], therefore already truth and works are in vain. However, until the enmity is destroyed by Christs death and the middle ground is overthrown [ ], and until peace and righteousness dawn in the Saviors times, and in general until all these things take place, what place will they have before that sacrifice, if not the place of Gods friends and righteous?

37. The proof of this is this: then we were united to God by the law, and now by faith and grace, and if there is anything else connected with them. It is clear from this that then it was slavery, but now adoption and devotion achieve the communion of men with God, because the law is for slaves, and for friends and sons grace, faith and boldness.

38. From all this it became clear that the Savior is the firstborn from the dead [ ] and none of the dead can live to immortal life until He rises. Likewise, the sanctification and justification of men depended on Him alone. This, therefore, was also pointed out by Paul, writing: the forerunner for us entered the holy [ ] Christ[10] (Heb. 6:20).

39. For He entered into the holy place, offering Himself to the Father, and brought in those who wished, joining His tomb, not dying like Him, but at the holy table, anointed and fragrant, in an unspeakable way they announce Him Himself as having died and resurrected. And so, bringing them through these gates, He leads them to His Kingdom and to a coronation.

40. These gates are far more exalted and more perfect [] than the heavenly gates. They would not open to anyone who had not previously entered through those doors, and these are open even when those are closed. Those can bring out those who are inside, but these only bring in, they dont take anyone out. It is possible for them to be both locked and finally unlocked, and through these the curtain and the middle were completely destroyed and destroyed.

41. It is no longer possible to rebuild the fence and erect gates that would divide the worlds from each other by a wall. At this the door was not merely opened, but the heavens were also opened,[11] says the marvelous Mark, showing that there was no longer any door, nor walls, nor curtains of any kind left. For He Who reconciles, unites and reconciles the upper world with the lower [ ], by destroying the middle of the fence, cannot deny Himself, says the blessed Paul.[12] Because those doors that were opened because of Adam, when he didnt stay where he was supposed to stay, of course it was clear that they were going to close. They were precisely opened by Christ Himself, Who had not committed sin, nor could he sin, because His righteousness it is said abides forever. Whence it necessarily follows that they were to remain open and lead to life, and from life there should be no way out for anyone. For I have come, says the Savior, that they may have life (John 10:10).

42. This is precisely the life which the Lord brings: that those who come through these sacraments participate in His death and become partakers of His sufferings, and without this no one can escape death. For it is impossible for one who is not baptized with water and the Spirit to enter into life, neither can those who do not eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood have life in them. We will look at this further.

43. What is the reason why only the sacraments can put life in Christ in our souls. To live in God is impossible for those who have not died to their sins, and to kill sin they could only with Gods help. Men are bound to do this: after we have become righteous and voluntarily suffered defeat, it is utterly impossible and far from our ability to renew the struggle when we have become slaves to sin. How could we become stronger after being enslaved? Even if we become stronger, no slave is above his master. Since, therefore, he who was to reject this debt and retain this victory, being righteous, was a slave to those over whom he should have prevailed in the struggle, and God, who is mighty to do so, was under no obligation to anyone, therefore no one took up the fight, and sin lived, and the true life was impossible to shine upon us the victorious reward on the one hand is for him who has to pay the debt, and on the other it is for him who has the power therefore there had to be one, and the other to join together, so that they both have the same nature of the one who goes to the battle and of the one who can conquer.

44. So it happened. God appropriated the struggle for men by becoming man. Man overcomes sin, being clean from all sin because he was God. Thus nature is freed from shame and crowned with a victorious crown, for sin is broken.

45. Although of the people none had conquered and none had fought, yet they were freed from the fetters. This was done by the Savior Himself for those to whom He made it available, giving each person the power to kill sin and become partakers of His feat.

46. Since after that victory, instead of being crowned and triumphed, He suffered beatings, death, and the like to the end, as Paul says, for the joy that was set before Him He endured the cross, despising the shame (Heb. 12:2), what happened ?

47. He did no wrong, but received such a sentence. He committed no sin, and had nothing to call a slanderer too shameless. And wounds, suffering, and death were from the beginning designed for sin. How did the Bishop allow this, being philanthropic? It is not fitting, then, for goodness to console itself with ruin and death. Therefore, immediately after the fall, God allowed death and suffering not so much as a punishment for the sinner, but as a cure for the sick.

48. Since for what Christ had done no such punishment should have been awarded, and the Savior had not in Himself any trace of infirmity to be taken away in order to receive any medicine, the power of that cup is directed to us, for to put sin to death in us, and the wounds of the Innocent One become the punishment of those who have sinned in many things.

49. Since the punishment was wonderful and far greater than the equivalent of human evils, this punishment not only freed from the accusation, but provided such an abundance of goods that it led to an ascent to heaven itself and communion with the Kingdom of God there. It includes those of the earth, the hostile, the chained, the enslaved, the vanquished. That death was dear, therefore, and it is impossible for men to fathom how much, although, on the Saviours assumption, it was bought by the murderers for too little to cover His poverty and dishonor.

50. Suffering what belongs to slaves, to be sold, he earns dishonor, because the gain honored dishonor upon us [ ], and that for so little means that he accepted to die gratuitously and for nothing. for the world; willingly died without committing any injustice, neither against life nor against any state, preparing for His murderers also gifts far greater than desires and hopes.

50. But why do I say this? God died. Gods blood was shed on the Cross. What could be dearer than this death? Whats more shocking? What did human nature so sin that it was awarded such a ransom? What could this wound be that needed the power of such a medicine to cure it?

51. It is clear, therefore, that sin is atoned for by some punishment, and that of those who have sinned against God, those who suffer a worthy punishment will be freed from condemnation. The subject of punishment, however, could not be called upon for that for which he deserves a sentence. There is no man who, being perfectly pure, would himself suffer for others, so that no one could bear the corresponding punishment either for himself or for the whole human race, even if it were possible for him to die a thousandfold. For what does this most shameless slave deserve to suffer, who has ruined the kings countenance, and shown such audacity against his majesty?

52. That is why the sinless Lord, having suffered much, died. He bears the wound by taking upon Himself the protection of men, being human. He frees the human race from punishments and gives freedom to those who are chained, because He Himself does not need it, being God and Lord. And why true life enters us through the death of the Saviour, that is what we are about to say.

53. On the one hand, the way in which we draw him into our souls is this: initiation into the sacraments [ ], washing, anointing, enjoying the holy table. In those who do this, Christ indwells and dwells, unites, joins [] and banishes sin from us, invests His life and nobility [] and makes us partakers of His victory. Goodness of goodness! Those who wash are girded and those who partake of the dinner glorify.

54. Why does Christ crown those who wash, those who are anointed with oil and those who participate in the supper. Why and for what reason are the victory and the crown at the font, the ointment and the table, which are the fruit of labor and sweat? For though we do not fight or toil, in doing these things we glorify that feat, admire the victory, and bow down before the trophy of victory, and for that decisive feat [ ] we show unspeakable gratitude []. Those wounds and paint and death we appropriate for ourselves, and as far as possible we draw them to ourselves by tasting of the very flesh of the Dead and Risen One. Because of this, of course, we also enjoy those goods that correspond to death and exploits.

55. If anyone, surrounding a captured and awaiting punishment tyrant, praises and crowns him, honors tyranny and himself prefers to die after his fall, speaks against the laws and complains against justice, does this without shame and without hiding his malice, but speaks boldly, testifies and proves it, what judgment shall we pass on such a one? Shall we not render him the same as the tyrant? It is absolutely certain.

56. Contrary to all this, if one admires the noble, rejoices in the victor and weaves wreaths for him, raises shouts of victory and shakes the theater, faints with pleasure before the triumphant, gently embraces his head, kisses his right hand, and thus greatly exults from the general, and from the victory he has brought, that as if he himself should have crowned his head, will he not receive a share of the victors rewards, judged by prudent judges, as he I think will join in the punishment of the tyrant? If we reserve to the bad what is due, by exacting punishment for their intent and thoughts, it is not quite right to deprive the good of what they deserve.

57. If we add to this that he who won that victory does not himself need the gifts of victory, but rather prefers to see the splendor of the theater around his supporter, and considers it the reward of his struggle that his friend should be crowned, how is it not is it fair and not acceptable that he should adorn himself with a wreath, though he has not shed the sweat and endured the hardships of war?

58. This is exactly what the baptismal font, the supper, and the judicious enjoyment of the ointment can do for us. Consecrating ourselves [], therefore, we punish the tyrant, despise him, and deny him, and the victor we praise, admire, worship him, and love him with all our souls, so that with the love that surrounds us like bread we are satisfied , like ointment we anoint ourselves and like water we pour ourselves over.

59. It is evident that if he entered into this war for our sake, and that we might conquer, Sam suffered death, so that there is nothing inconsistent and nothing disagreeable about the crowns of victory being reached by these sacraments. For we show the possible disposition [ ], and hearing of this water, that it has the power of Christs death and burial, we strongly believe, willingly come forward, and immerse ourselves. He because he does not give little and what he honors us with is not little welcomes those who come after death and burial, not giving a crown, not by giving glory, but with the Victor Himself, with Himself crowned.

60. Coming out of the water, we carry the Savior Himself in our souls, in the head, in the eyes, in the very entrails, in all the members, pure from transgression, freed from all corruption, as he rose, as he appeared to his disciples, and as he ascended , as he will come again, demanding this treasure back.

61. Thus, after we are born and sealed with Christ, He himself guards the entrances of life, lest we bring in any foreign species. By means of that by which, by taking in air and food, we maintain the life of the body, by this He penetrates into our souls and joins to Himself these two doors: the one as myrrh and fragrance, and the other as food. Because we inhale Him at the same time, but He also becomes food for us. And so, mixing and combining himself fully with us in every way, He makes us His body, and becomes to us what the head is to the other members. Therefore and through Him we participate in all good things, because He is the head, and from the head they necessarily go to the body.

62. This is precisely what we should admire, because we do not share with Him either in the wounds or in the death, but He Himself took them, but then, at the crowning, then He makes us His partakers.

63. This, therefore, is indeed a work of unspoken philanthropy, which is not far from reason and expediency [ ]. Because after the Cross we are united with Christ. Until He suffered, we had nothing to do with Him. Because He is Son and Beloved, and we are defiled, and slaves, and enemies in consciousness [ ]. After he died and the ransom was given to us, and the devils prison was destroyed, we entered into such liberty and adoption, and became members of that blessed Head. Hence, whatever belongs to the Head belongs to us.

64. Now, therefore, through this water we become sinless, we join His gifts through the ointment, and through this table we live one and the same life with Him. In the future we shall be gods with God [ ], heirs of the same with Him, we shall reign with Him in the same kingdom, if only we do not voluntarily blind ourselves and tear the kings tunic in this life. We must only strive for this in this life, so that we preserve the gifts [ ], preserve the charisms [ ] and not tear down the crown that God has woven for us with much sweat and labor.

65. This is the life in Christ which is contained in the sacraments. It seems to me that it is clear what human zeal can do for him. Therefore, he who wishes to speak about this should first consider each of the sacraments separately, and then it would be consistent to consider each action according to virtue [ ].

Oho said the old soldier. Whence hadst thou that song, despiser of this world?

Now, you see, said the fisherman, I can look back and remember all that--and Cambremer, too, he added, after a pause. By the time Jacques Cambremer was fifteen or sixteen years of age he had come to be--what shall I say?--a shark. He amused himself at Guerande, and was after the girls at Savenay. Then he wanted money. He robbed his mother, who didn,

Nothing more since the privateersman was run in, said Captain Acton.

Johns face grew thoughtful. It would kill him to do it.

Again, those terribly dull evenings in some unknown town Do you know anything more wretched than the approach of dusk on such an occasion? One goes about as if almost in a dream, looking at faces that one never has seen before and never will see againlistening to people talking about matters which are quite indifferent to you in a language that perhaps you do not understand. You have a terrible feeling, almost as if you were lost, and you continue to walk on so as not to be obliged to return to the hotel, where you would feel more lost still because you are at home, in a home which belongs to anyone who can pay for itand at last you sink into a chair of some well-lighted cafe, whose gilding and lights oppress you a thousand times more than the shadows in the streets. Then you feel so abominably lonely sitting in front of the glass of flat bock beer that a kind of madness seizes you, the longing to go somewhere or other, no matter where, as long as you need not remain in front of that marble table amid those dazzling lights.

It is needless, of course, to say that this searching walk was in vain. Whatever lay white in his road he rushed at, and in his gizzard he cursed the vast number of pieces of white paper which did somehow, as though distributed by innumerable malicious Greyquills, attract his eye and retard his progress whilst he turned them over.

Good heavens cried Monsieur de Bourbonne, interrupting his nephew, surely you have not been such a fool as to tell that woman about your father,

Such were the singular circumstances in connection with the Resident Patient and the Brook Street Doctor. From that night nothing has been seen of the three murderers by the police, and it is surmised at Scotland Yard that they were among the passengers of the ill-fated steamer Norah Creina, which was lost some years ago with all hands upon the Portuguese coast, some leagues to the north of Oporto. The proceedings against the page broke down for want of evidence, and the Brook Street Mystery, as it was called, has never until now been fully dealt with in any public print.
