The Federal Reserve’s greatest resource is its credibility. People have to believe the central bank will get inflation under control — or else inflationary psychology becomes entrenched and causes years of pain. Likewise, people need to trust that Fed leaders will prioritize what’s best for the nation over any personal gain — otherwise the central bank won’t survive.
NEW YORK (AP) — When Sadie Sink joined the cast of “Stranger Things” in its second season, the then 14-year-old was already a fan of Netflix’s megahit show. But with the series turning many of the teen stars into household names overnight, attempting to carve out her own lane wasn’t easy. “I kind of knew what I was stepping in to, but I didn’t really know until I was in it,” said Sink. “Being the new kid, I think it really gave me a perspective on everything. So, I kind of liked coming in a little bit later, even though I definitely had like the biggest imposter syndrome, like, ever.” Sink is far from an imposter. Her “Stranger Things” character, Max, was more integral to the storyline last season, and her performance when she freed herself from the evil trance of the monster Vecna while listening to Kate Bush’s “Running Up That Hill” became a huge cultural moment for both the song, which roared back onto the charts, and Sink.
Sherman Jessie Naoma Pearce, age 104, died at her home in Sherman, Texas, on Thursday, December 22, 2022. She was born in Abilene, Texas on September 17, 1918, to parents Jesse Willard Huffman and Naoma (Grounds) Huffman, of Sadler, TX. She lived from the horse and buggy age to the space age, and from the 1918 Spanish Flu pandemic to the current Covid pandemic, avoiding both illnesses. Jessie experienced many challenges in her life, but she was a survivor, and considered her life to be a very happy one, always surrounded by a loving family, and strengthened by her Christian faith, instilled in her through the Methodist tradition. She grew up during the Great Depression; her father was in the army in France when she was born, and didn’t see her until she was 6 months old; her mother died when she was two years old, and she and her sister, Chlorie, went to live with her grandparents, Daniel Webster and Sarah Grounds and her two aunts, Mattie and Ruth; when she was about six years old, she jumped off a high ladder, hurting her back, and was paralyzed. Doctors gave her little chance of walking again, until finally, her grandfather took her to a chiropractor. The two men pulled on her legs and upper body, stretching her back, restoring her ability to move and giving her a long life with no back problems. After her father remarried, Jessie and Chlorie went to live with him and ‘Miss Edith’ in Sadler, TX until her father died when Jessie was 14. In order to complete her teaching certification, Miss Edith took the family (now four children) to Denton for the summer - along with their milk cow. When she finished her courses, Jessie and Chlorie stayed in Denton to finish high school and attend what is now the University of North Texas. Jessie met her future husband, Richard Pearce, at a Halloween party at the first Methodist Church in Denton, and they married on September 25, 1938 at her grandfather’s house in Talpa TX. He officiated at the wedding, being a part-time
