Craig Hemke: Silver & Gold – DB Turns State's Evidence, The Flood Gates Are Now Open! - The Daily Coin
April 18, 2016
The tinfoil hatters have once again prevailed. What has been called theory turns to fact, once again. It seems the people, citizen journalist, market analyst and financial advisors, that actually do the necessary research and present an alternative view are being vindicated on an almost daily basis. All of the naysayers will now have to put down the kool-aid and take another look at what is being reported on the internet. While there are equal amounts of garbage to offset the truly great information, isn't it the same with mainstream media? Is there any difference in what we see on TeeVee or hear on the radio – equal parts garbage balanced with great information?
With the revelation of Duetsche Bank (DB) admitting, in a court of law, their bank has been manipulating both silver and gold markets for several years. This is one of the biggest stories of our life time and the mainstream media is completely mute on this subject. It goes right to the heart of the opening paragraph. Why would the mainstream media be completely silent on this topic?
Craig Hemke, TFMetals Report, has been following, analyzing and reporting on these rigged markets for close to a decade. His tireless efforts and painstaking determination has shown time and again the blatant criminality in the precious metals markets. While he has learned their movements, and put this information to work for himself, and the Turdites, to turn a handsome profit, it does not take away from the criminality.
Oh, and as you will hear, this was recorded on Friday April 15, 2016 Craig said the "flood gate of lawsuits was now open" for class-action lawsuits and on Saturday April 16, 2016 it was confirmed with not one, but two different lawsuits. You think these law firms have been waiting for this to happen or were they able to get everything together in less than 24 hours?
Billion Dollar Lawsuits Filed Following Deutsche Bank's Admission Of Gold, Silver Rigging
Overnight, two class action lawsuits seeking $1 billion in damages on behalf of Canadian gold and silver investors were launched in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice.
I spoke with Craig about the situation with DB and the implications for the markets and our world.

"Sold for Marriage" – MOTOGRAPHY – April 15, 1916 Lillian Gish
"Sold for Marriage" – MOTOGRAPHY – April 15, 1916
MOTOGRAPHY Vol. XV, No. 16. April 15, 1916.
"Sold for Marriage"
Triangle-Fine Arts Story of the Russian Peasantry.
Reviewed by Thomas C. Kennedy
LILLIAN GISH'S characterization of a Russian peasant girl and the atmosphere and pictorial beauty of the scenes are more impressive than the story which "Sold for Marriage" tells. It is a sympathetic romance in which the aunt and uncle of Marfa deem it their duty to sell their pretty charge at a good price. The play is carried by Miss Gish in the central role and the striking effects supplied by the director, William Christy Cabanne.
"Sold for Marriage" is a picture that will find favor generally. The story is thin but it serves as a vehicle for the featured player and the basis for the production of many beautiful pictures. The scenario is by William E. Wing, who has succeeded in making five reels out of a play that could in reality by depicted in much less footage. This is admirably, skilfully done, and "Sold for Marriage" holds the interest unflaggingly. The ending is commonplace, but it is the only thing which one can find fault so it can be forgiven.
Miss Gish's portrayal of Marfa wins her the sympathy of the audience, she assumes the role of a Russian peasant in a thoroughly convincing manner. Just why Miss Gish impresses one as an actress of great skill and little warmth is indeed a question, but the fact that her work seems to lack natural color and spirit remains. In fairness to her we must insist again that her characterization is technically beyond criticism, and it is not at all unlikely that others will experience the natural warmth and sincerity we missed.
Marfa's affection for Jan, a young Russian who has recently returned from America, makes her rebellious when her guardians try to sell her to an elderly man who is ready to pay them a good price for the pretty child in marriage. The bachelor marries a girl who is less independent and Marfa comes in for abuse at the hands of her uncle and aunt.
Marfa's actions toward the new governor who is attracted by her beauty make it necessary for the girl and her guardians to flee to America. On the boat they meet Jan; consequently Marfa's love grows stronger. But on arriving here the aunt and uncle contrive to separate the happy couple. Marfa is about to be forced into a marriage with an ugly Russian when Jan calls in the police, who have determined to put a stop to the sale of Russian girls for marriage. Frank Bennett is a very good type for his role as Jan, but Jan as played by him is not an especially manly man. A. D. Sears, Walter Long, Pearl Elmore, William E. Lowery and the other members of the cast are convincing in appearance. The snow scenes and those which show a severe storm in progress are highly successful in the effect they produce upon the spectator.

Lessons on Journalism at the JFK Library
John Dickerson and Ann Compton talk politics in Boston
January 3, 2017
Each Sunday morning, millions of Americans around the country watch John Dickerson host Face the Nation, one of his many intrepid reporting efforts on CBS. His show has hosted President Obama, Senator McCain, and dozens of other high-profile politicians and government officials. He is a brilliant and accomplished reporter and historian, who recently brought his knowledge of electoral history, his wit, and his new book to the JFK Presidential Library, in Boston, Massachusetts.
To top off an already exciting event, Dickerson was interviewed by the living-legend Ann Compton, a decades-long White House Correspondent from ABC, who has worked with every President from Ford to Obama. Her great political mind produced a multitude of intriguing questions, spanning from riveting stories about administrations from the 20th century to contemporary assessments of the soon-to-be Trump administration.
Dickerson told an especially relevant story, considering the location of the interview, when he regaled Compton with the tale of Kennedy's efforts in the West Virginia primary in 1960. The story starts, according to Dickerson, with the Wisconsin Democratic primary a few weeks earlier. In this primary, Kennedy wins, largely due to Catholic turnout. The overwhelming narrative, then, is that Kennedy, a Catholic, can only win with Catholic voters. With the attention focused on West Virginia, a state that had a tiny percentage of Catholics among its residents, Kennedy was declared a sure loser. To combat this, Kennedy decided to forgo the traditional political advice, which was to avoid the issue, and instead embraced his Catholicism. Giving speeches across the state about his faith, Kennedy was able to convince the voters of West Virginia that he deserved their support and, turning his faith into a boon instead of a hindrance, easily won the state with 60% of the vote. Dickerson used this story as a starting point to provoke a discussion of media narratives and political decisions, and draws interesting parallels to the modern day in his book, Whistlestop: My Favorite Stories from Presidential Campaign History.
Their discussion was followed by a long question-and-answer session, during which members of the public were able to ask Dickerson and Compton questions. This gave the two a number of fascinating opportunities to expound upon the role of the media and polling in the 2016 election, and the job of journalists working in an era rife with fake news. After this, both Compton and Dickerson came and talked to a group of student journalists (including four from the Chieftain Press), and answered specific questions from the group about journalistic integrity, technology, and myriad other issues.
The chief lesson from these myriad discussions is about journalistic integrity. Through the stories told, both from the lives of these journalists and the lives of others, the explanations given, and the jokes cracked, a current of truth remained constant throughout. This fundamental truth was that journalists have a solemn responsibility to uphold a standard of truth and transparency in a world where liars and obfuscators run amok with wild abandon.
This was illustrated perfectly by Ann Compton's compelling narrative about a particularly memorable time when she was in the Press corp under President George W. Bush. Less than a year into his Presidency, Compton was one of the most senior correspondents at the White House at the time, and it happened to be her turn to fly on Air Force One on 9/11. When the President first got word of the attacks, he rushed to his plane to fly back to D.C. His staff then proceeded to throw all of the journalists off the plane, in order to maintain secrecy. However, Compton stood up for herself and told the President's staff that it was vital, at a time of crisis more than any other, that the American people have a clear and unrestricted view of the President's actions and decisions. Unlike every other member of the press, she was allowed to remain on the President's jet as it flew towards the White House.
This story demonstrates the paramount principle that journalists should not be entertainers. They serve a vital role in the proper function of democracy; our vaulted institutions fall apart without a free, factual press because politicians cannot otherwise be held accountable for what they say and do. It is only by ensuring that the production of the press is held to the highest standard that there can be a genuine relationship of trust with the citizenry. It is vital to ensuring that candidates and elected officials are fact-checked and that the truth is believed.
The final note that Compton left her student-listeners with was to take time. In a political climate rife with disinformation, coded language, and "fake news", it is vital that journalists do their due diligence and fact check information before publishing. Due to the economic pressures on news organizations, according to Compton, there has been a trend towards publishing stories first and checking them later, which only proliferate misinformation and frays the ties of trust between media and the public. Journalists have to be responsible for the information they publish, and so it is vital that they spend adequate time and care in writing and reporting stories.
For any who are interested, the full video recording of the interview and the question-and-answer segment was published by the JFK Presidential Library on their youtube channel. Pay attention to the JFK Library's website for upcoming events like this one! Every year they bring in dozens of brilliant speakers, and the live-stream of these events is readily available from the comfort of one's home.

Once known as Burma, Myanmar is located in South East Asia where it borders 5 different countries (China, Thailand, Laos, Bangladesh & India). If you love traveling to places that are rich in history and tradition, then this is the place for you.
I had the privilege of traveling here during the summer of 2014, and although this was 2 years ago, I thought it was worth mentioning on our blog. As an athletic training major, I went with a group that would be teaching basketball in the former capital city, Yangon. The country was astonishingly beautiful and filled with a ton of friendly people. My time there was fantastic and I cherished every minute! Ashley knows how eager I am to return one day because I never stop talking about it…even 2 years later. I hope you enjoy this post!
If you are leaving from America, traveling to Myanmar does take a bit of time since it is literally located on the other side of the world. The group that I traveled with departed from Atlanta and was flying with Korean Airlines. This was my first experience with this airline and I thought the service and in-flight entertainment was great. We were seated in the economy class and the seats gave us enough room to relax and they provided us with our own mini TV to enjoy, which made our 15 hour flight to Seoul, South Korea doable. Once we arrived for our short layover, we stretched our legs and grabbed some food before our 6.5 hour flight to Myanmar.
While in Myanmar we conveniently stayed in a hotel that was located in the downtown district within walking distance of several restaurants, a mall, and the basketball arena where we would be working. Thankfully, we didn't experience too much rain, but if you ever find yourself there during the rainy season or just don't want to walk, you can catch a cab for a small fee.
The weather in Myanmar varies depending on the month and which part of the country you are in. Since it was July, Yangon was in it's rainy season. For this reason, we didn't bump into many tourists. It rained on-and-off while we were there, but nothing too extreme.
Another name for Myanmar is The Land of Pure Gold, and you'll quickly realize why. In the city of Yangon, you can find the Shwedagon Pagoda, which is a temple that has been around for centuries and is covered in gold. I could walk around for hours just looking at all the detail and architecture. This is something I would never see in America!
Although this is a Buddhist temple, visitors are welcome. Make sure you take the time and walk around the entire temple to observe the multiple smaller temples because they're each so different. Out of respect, you are expected to take off your shoes and wear the appropriate attire.
You'll notice in some of the pictures that the men are wearing what looks like a skirt. This is called a Loongi, which is the traditional piece that Burmese men wear. It looks similar to a skirt but it is one piece of fabric that is tied in a secure knot at the waist. I could not pass up the opportunity to buy one, so enjoy the photos.
I loved putting my athletic training knowledge into practice while in another country. They even let me play a little basketball with them!
To celebrate the end of our basketball camp, we decided to hold a karaoke night in the gym! Karaoke is a very popular activity in Asia and everyone LOVES it. We all relaxed and had a great time getting to know one another a little better. I was laughing non-stop, so this will be an event I'll never forget.
To end our time in Myanmar, we drove around looking at the views!
This was my first time visiting Asia and I loved it because there was so much culture and history and the food was awesome! Until next time, Myanmar!

Malachi: The Sun of Righteousness Will Rise
"The Sun of Righteousness will rise with healing in his wings" (Malachi 4:2).
The Old Testament ends with one final picture of our Lord.
When he comes, he will "rise" as the sun rises in the sky.
When he comes, he will banish the darkness.
When he comes, his light will fill the world.
But his coming does more than bring light into the darkness. When he comes, he brings the light of God's righteousness with him. Here is good news for every weary sinner who feels the heavy weight of his own failures. Are you a sinner? If you are honest, you must answer yes. Have you fallen short of the glory of God? You must answer yes. Do you despair of ever pleasing God? Think before you answer! In one of her books, Ruth Graham, the late wife of Billy Graham, writes of a day when she felt overwhelmed by a sense of her own sinfulness:
"I am a weak, lazy, indifferent character; casual when I should be concerned, concerned when I should be carefree; self-indulgent, hypocritical, begging God to help me when I am hardly willing to lift a finger for myself; quarrelsome where I should be silent, silent where I should be outspoken; vacillating, easily distracted and sidetracked."
Who among us could not say the same thing, multiplied many times over? Then she adds these words:
"What would I do," wrote Chalmers, "if God did not justify the ungodly?" And "What would I do," said Thomas Boston of Scotland, "but for the imputed righteousness?" There it is. All that I am not, He is; all that I am and should not be, He forgives and covers (from It's My Turn, pp. 104-105).
In the final Old Testament picture of Christ, we meet a Savior who does for us what we could never do for ourselves. At Bethlehem a baby arrived from heaven "with healing in his wings."
Here is the doctrine of justification in one simple question: "What would I do if God did not justify the ungodly?" Ask yourself that question. What would you do? Where would you go? Where would you be if God were not willing to justify the ungodly?
But here is the good news of Christmas: Jesus came to save sinners. Are you a sinner? He came for you! Is your heart heavy today? He rises with healing in his wings.
Jesus is all you need for everything you will face today. He heals the brokenhearted, and he sets the captive free.
Lord Jesus, we come to you just as we are. We come broken and ask you to heal us. We come guilty and ask you to make us right with God. We do not come because we are worthy, but because you are the Sun of Righteousness. Heal us and help us and make us whole again. Amen.
Musical bonus: I hope you enjoy this rousing version of Hark! The Herald Angels Sing by Pentatonix.

Loads of high school nerds (us!) get into clothing because they are decidedly not into sports, but hey, its 2011, there's got to be some burgeoning overlap. Vogue asked their favorite New York Knick to teach cutie-pie Editor-at-Large Hamish Bowles how to play and an ensuing video is weird farce and maybe even a little tense because of the two contrasting performances of masculinity on display, Stoudemire an oversized vision of prowess, Bowles a tad bit nervous like it's sophomore gym class. Look at the difference in these two men's arms: one set spindly and precious, the other gigantic and covered in tattoos including, above the shoulder, a piece that reads "Black Jesus". Don't know which one of these guys we love more after watching this. They own two very different sides of our heart.
Watch Amar'e Stoudemire teach Vogue's Hamish Bowles how to shoot.

Famous Son Of Ireland: Entrepreneur & Founder Category:
Arthur Guinness:
Famous Irish Entrepreneur & Founder Of Guinness Brewery
Guinness Stout is world renowned and Arthur Guinness, the original founder, is a famous Son of The Emerald Isle. He was born in Leixlip, Co. Kildare in 1725 and his rise to fame started when his godfather left him a legacy of £100 in 1742 when Arthur was aged just seventeen.
His first business venture began in 1756 when he was thirty one years old. He opened a small brewery at Leixlip, Co. Kildare, and began brewing stout from a small country outhouse.
In 1759 he began to realise, that the large neighbouring and bustling city of Dublin, was the ideal location for greater
expansion. Access to the free flowing river Liffey would also be greatly beneficial to his plans.
He finally presented his three year old Leixlip brewery to a younger brother and then headed out for Dublin in search of greater pastures. St. James Gate brewery was then closed and in a total state of disrepair, but he also knew the district had a renowned brewing tradition. He bought the old brewery site and paid £100 deposit on 31st December 1759. He then secured a 900 year lease and four acres of prime land, close to the river Liffey, all for £45 annually.
The selected site was the ancient entrance to old Dublin from the south west regions. Arthur Guinness planned to revitalise the once thriving local economy and this was greeted with much anticipation by the authorities and also by the local community.
The new venture, despite some early problems, soon began to expand employing a large labour force from the local areas.
Recruitment of staff incorporated workers from vast areas of the capital city. The future for thousands of Dublin families, now lay in the hands of Arthur Guinness. The expansions of populations throughout the British Isles and especially the war with France, contributed greatly to major trade booms at St. James Gate.
By 1798 the brewery was now one of the major employers in Dublin, with an annual production of 12,000 barrels of beer, mainly for the Dublin market.
Prior to his death in 1803 Arthur Guinness had built and consolidated his brewery business all over Ireland, and Guinness stout was sold in every town and village in the land.
In the 18 th century the company began to blossom further and in 1920, Arthur Guinness became the world's largest brewery. Guinness Stout was now recognised worldwide as an Irish product and also as a symbol of the Emerald Isle. Guinness is now also an integral part of Ireland's heritage for over two centuries.
Widely regarded as a generous man, Arthur was a Protestant who campaigned for equal rights for Irish catholics, but like all successful businessmen, he also had many nationalist critics. Many nationalists had misgivings about his political allegiance to the crown and he was many times scorned by Ireland's freedom fighters who had their own concerns about Arthur Guinness.
When the brewery was making substantial progress, Arthur got involved in political and civic life. He became administrator and later Governor of Meath Hospital, and was also closely associated with St. Patrick's Cathedral, to which he always donated.
In 1789 and 1790 he built flour mills to foster greater employment and his deep sense of public duty was widely recognised.
Arthur Guinness died aged seventy eight years.

Word History: From an etymological perspective, book and beech are branches of the same tree. The Germanic root of both words is *bōk-, ultimately from an Indo-European root meaning "beech tree." The Old English form of book is bōc, from Germanic *bōk-ō, "written document, book." The Old English form of beech is bēce, from Germanic *bōk-jōn, "beech tree," because the early Germanic peoples used strips of beech wood to write on. A similar semantic development occurred in Latin. The Latin word for book is liber, whence library. Liber, however, originally meant "bark"—that is, the smooth inner bark of a tree, which the early Romans likewise used to write on.

New doors and windows a warning
2nd May 2015 - 0 Comments
So you've found a company to replace your windows and doors. The price is great, so affordable and you like the way they look in the brochure. Time now to sit back and let the proffessionals take over. Nothing to worry about - right?
Finding a company to replace your windows and doors is by no means a straight forward approach. There's the hard sell that spme companies will use like starting off with a very high price and then taking off 50%. This is just a sales ploy to grab your attention and bait you into buying. There's the companies that will say free quotes, 12 month to think it over. Again so what. Most companies will provide free estimates and time to mull it over. Then there's the brochure. Looks nice in the catalogue but hands on is always best. We advise giving companies a wide berth unless you can actually feel the product. A good door or window should feel weighty. Taking into account the amount of glass in the unit or door. A good test is moving it from side to side. If its light its shite.
What about fitting?
Now in our experience the fitting of the units is where most of the companies including some of the big boys that advertise on the TV fall over. In our experience as repair specialists the majority of our clients have issues with their doors or windows that have been fitted poorly. These fitters sub contract from one company to another and it is almost a lottery to get a team of fitters that will take on a job and carry it out to the highest standards it deserves.
A top tip is to find a company that employ their own dedicated fitters.
Their guarantee
When you have windows and doors fitted the job usually comes with a 10 year guarantee, but in our experience it is very rarely hel up. Here are some examples that some of our customers have been told by their installers.
- Its wear and tear.
- Have you maintained it? Yes, not supposed to use that lubricant. No, signed on completion that you would maintain it.
- Just bought the house, sorry the guarantee was with the previous owner.
- We can come out but there will be a £75 + vat call out fee to look at the door.
- The guarantee doesn't cover that.
- They have already attended twice so that's it.
- We can't do anything its due to settling {sorry poor fitting}. Example a customer was told that the sill in his french doors was bowed up due to moisture in his foundations. We put a straight edge on the sill and it was level. The problem was that the internal shootbolt was fitted in the wrong place causing the door to stick.
Just some examples but true.
Our advise is to find a company that has been recommended. We know of only 2 companies in the Glasgow area that we would trust to replace our windows and doors.

FLIR Partners with Providence Photonics for Gas Leak Quantification
FLIR Systems, Inc. is proud to partner with Providence Photonics on the announcement of new Quantitative Optical Gas Imaging (qOGI) technology, which is designed to work solely with FLIR GF-Series cameras.
By using Providence Photonics' QL320™ in conjunction with a FLIR GFx320 or FLIR GF320 camera, surveyors can measure mass leak rates (lb/h or g/h) or volumetric leak rates (cc/min or L/min) for most hydrocarbons. The QL320 can be used at a variety of distances, so operators can monitor hard to reach areas and storage tanks as well as survey massive leaks from a safe location.
Additionally, the QL320 offers built-in Delta Temperature screening tools that enable the user to assess thermal contrast during leak inspections. This technique ensures inspections are performed with optimal temperature difference between the gas leak and the background, which is directly in line with requirements laid out in the EPA's latest methane regulation (OOOOa).
Download QL320 Datasheet
Gas Quantified with Immediate Results
The QL320 is portable, easy to use, and provides results in the field within seconds. These videos are just some examples of how Providence Photonics quantifies leaks – based on pounds of gas released per hour. The QL320 can also provide an archive of measurements for reporting and analysis purposes.

Response Factor Calculations
Quantitative OGI represents a critical step forward in the world of optical gas imaging because it eliminates the need for secondary sampling devices to quantify gas emissions. How well the system is able to quantify a specific gas is a function of the FLIR camera, which may be more sensitive to one compound than another. This can be measured relative to a reference compound, with the resulting value called Response Factor (RF).
For example, say an RF value for benzene is 0.75 in reference to propane. This means the FLIR GF320 camera detects benzene nearly as well as it detects propane – in fact, the image of benzene is 75% as strong as the image of propane. An RF value below one would signify a potentially weaker image, while an RF value over one signifies a stronger image (e.g. an RF of 1.75 means the image is 75% stronger).
Providence Photonics provides a free RF calculator for determining how well FLIR OGI cameras can see specific gases. It already offers RF calculations for the FLIR GF320, and will offer more FLIR GF cameras soon.

Highlight the Problem with IntelliRed™
Providence Photonics and FLIR also provide an autonomous remote gas detection system that makes catching leaks even easier. IntelliRed™ pairs FLIR's G300a optical gas imaging camera with technology that highlights gas plumes in real-time, with multi-stage leak confirmations and protocols that filter out people, vehicles, and other objects that could interfere with the image.
This system is ideal for oil platforms, tank farms, loading terminals, and anywhere hydrocarbon gases could leak. It can detect gas from up to 500 feet away and can alarm for proactive leak detection.

Amsterdam, Holland
Without a doubt, Amsterdam is the world's cycling capital as 50% of all traffic in the city takes places on bicycles. Everybody cycles, businessmen, moms with kids, old people, tourists – it is just a perfect way to get around and enjoy the city's many canals, bridges, the port and the beaches as well as the museum quarter. A lot of streets are narrow, one-way or pedestrian, but you can cycle mostly anywhere.
People just ride in the streets, there are more bikes than cars in central Amsterdam streets anyways, but there is also an extensive network of safe and fast bicycle routes. You can lock your bike pretty much anywhere in the street, just be sure you have a couple of good locks. There is a huge Bike Ramp at the Central Station where you can park your bike if you are commuting, there are underground sheds as well, and it is easy to rent a bike in the city. Be careful though, they are fast riders.
New York, USA
Yes, you've read it well, New York, actually, Manhattan. We have all heard of Manhattan's terrible traffic and frankly, cycling is probably the easiest way to get around. It is flat, the streets are parallel, and ringed by rivers and a bike trail. You can easily cycle the entire length of the island, along the Hudson River, under the George Washington Bridge, past the United Nations, into Battery Park City, where you can see the Statue of Liberty. Brooklyn Bridge is also reachable on bike and Central Park is a treat. You will certainly enjoy New York more than people stuck in yellow cabs and the metro.
Menorca, Spain
Menorca is an island in Spain, the small neighbor of Majorca and the calmest of the three Balearic Islands, measuring only 54 kilometers diagonally. It is very rural with only two mid sized cities but the nature is well preserved and the whole island is a natural biosphere reserve. The main means of transport on the island used to be horses (they still are to some degree), so the island has a network of dirt roads and is ringed by a so called "Horse road" the entire length of the island enabling you to reach any out of 50 pristine turquoise beaches by bike. Inland villages are just a few kilometers apart and everything is in cycling distance, including many archaeological sites, historical museums, horse farms and untouched nature.
Novi Sad, Serbia
If you are heading to Europe for the summer festival season, Exit festival, proclaimed the best music festival in the world by MTV and the Guardian, takes place in the second largest city in Serbia, Novi Sad. Being completely flat with wide streets and bike paths in most all of the city, Novi Sad is extremely bicycle friendly and easy to get around. You can rent bikes for less than 1 euro a day and park them safely anywhere in the city. You can cycle by the Danube, reach a historic fortress town just over the bridge, visit surrounding villages or the national park of Fruska Gora situated just 10km outside the city and do some mountain biking.
Palisade, Colorado, USA
The small town of Palisade is the heart of Colorado wine country and is a perfect getaway for an active outdoors vacation, known for its peach orchards and vineyards. Cyclists can ride the scenic roads through more than 50 farms, orchards and vineyards as well as visit the sandstone cliffs of Grand Mesa, the largest flat-topped mountain in the entire world. You can easily mount your bicycle on a bike rack to transport it to this mountainous region. There is a well marked 40 km bike loop as well as shorter routes, but whichever one you chose to take, you are sure to get wonderful views and plenty of fresh air.

At Lunch Now: The Jamaican Dutchy is Back!
After a one month "process" of securing a new license for their cart, The Jamaican Dutchy has returned to 51st St. & 7th Ave. And not a moment too soon (it's getting freaking cold). A new line of hot soups, potato pudding and a complete breakfast menu has been added to the old standby lunchtime favorites, like jerk chicken, sweet and sour chicken, oxtails, and curry goat.
It's a two year license, so they won't be going anywhere for awhile. And for all you weekend warriors, having the Dutchy open on Saturday is in the works…
Posted by Zach Brooks at 11:45 am, November 30th, 2007 under 51st btw. 6+7th, Jamaican.

i am sooooo excited! we have a direct view of that corner from my office building, and every day for the past month i've retained hope of their return. the curry chicken and beef patties today were off tha chain. can't wait to hit up the breakfast line for some plantain porridge next week!!
Cant think of anything better than sitting in a near-by park and eating goat curry with a plastic fork.'Tis what shopping NY is all about.
That and the friendly locals.

Iran is bulldozing the mass grave from the mullahs' 1988 massacre
Since its foundation, by Ayatollah Rouhollah Khomeini, the regime of Iran has succeeded in maintaining its absolute power through the massive use of torture and executions of its citizens. They are now trying to cover up their crimes.
The ugly reality is that thousands of Iranians were sent to the gallows and torture chambers for absurd and preposterous charges of "enmity against God" or "spying for external powers." In the 1980s, thousands of educated youth of Iran, who had been sympathetic to the opposition groups, were executed by the mullahs. In summer of 1988 alone, based on the decree of Khomeini, 30,000 political prisoners, most of whom were members or supporters of the Mujahedin (PMOI or MeK), were executed.
Four decades of savage suppression by the mullahs has frustrated Iran's people who now look for any opportunity to show their abhorrence for the government. Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, President Hassan Rouhani and other Iranian officials are, more than ever, frightened of another mass uprising. According to the report from the National Council of Resistance in Iran (NCRI), Amnesty International has launched a campaign on Monday calling on the authorities of the Iranian regime to "urgently stop the destruction of a mass grave in the southern city of Ahvaz."
At least "a dozen political prisoners killed during a wave of mass extrajudicial executions in August and September 1988 are buried" in the mass grave.
Film footage obtained by Amnesty International "shows the site is gradually being buried beneath piles of construction waste" after a construction near the area began earlier this year.
"Bulldozing the mass grave at Ahvaz will destroy crucial forensic evidence that could be used to bring those responsible for the 1988 mass extrajudicial executions to justice. It would also deprive families of victims of their rights to truth, justice and reparation, including the right to bury their loved ones in dignity. By joining Amnesty International's campaign, people can help to press Iran's authorities to stop the imminent destruction of the site," said Philip Luther, Amnesty International's Research and Advocacy Director for the Middle East and North Africa.
He added: "Instead of desecrating the mass grave with piles of rubbish and waste and further tormenting families, who face repression for their efforts to protect the memory of their loved ones, the authorities should be upholding their duty to preserve all Iran's mass grave sites so that investigations can be carried out into the 1988 extrajudicial executions and other mass killings."
Amnesty International is calling on people to join the campaign by promoting the hashtag #MassGraves88 on social media.
The Iranian regime executed more than 30,000 political prisoners, the overwhelming majority of whom were activists of the People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK), upon a direct fatwa by Khomeini in July 1988.
The victims were buried in secret mass graves. The 1988 massacre was described as the worst crime in the history of the Islamic Republic by the late Hossein-Ali Montazeri, the heir apparent of Khomeini, the founder of the regime, at the time.
Many perpetuators of this crime currently hold high positions within the regime.
Hassan Rouhani, the president of the Iranian regime and many of his cabinet's principal figures held positions of influence in the summer of 1988 and were well aware of the massacre. Some were prominent participants in it, and indeed Rouhani's first-term Justice Minister, Mostafa Pour-Mohammadi, was one of four members of the Tehran death commission.
Last month Pour-Mohammadi was replaced by Alireza Avaie. He filled a similar role on the death commission in Khuzestan Province, the same province in which a mass grave is being destroyed.
A few days after the replacement, upon an order by Ali Khamenei, Pour-Mohammadi was appointed as an advisor to head of the Iranian regime's judiciary Sadegh Larijani.
Hassan Mahmoudi is a human rights advocate, specializing in political and economic issues relating to Iran and the Middle East. @hassan_mahmou1

Starlin Castro, Professional Hitter and Professional Shortstop
While I don't think Starlin Castro is lacking for praise this season, his incredible start to the season may have been overshadowed by the hulking presence of guys like Kris Bryant and Jorge Soler and Addison Russell, as well as the Cubs' overall performance.
On the year, Castro is hitting .352/.375/.481 with a .376 wOBA and a 140 wRC+. Moreover, he's been doing that as the team's shortstop – and he's been playing really well defensively.
From Castro's manager to his teammates to the man, himself, everyone sees that Castro is doing great things defensively, which is well-timed given the emergence of Addison Russell, and the Cubs' needs at second base. Castro has the talent to be at least an average defensive shortstop, if not better. And, at 25, there's still room for growth.
Combine that with his scorching hot offensive start, and I'd argue that, to the extent you can make such pronouncements through 13 games, Castro has been giving an MVP-type performance (on a team full of 'em).
Here's hoping Castro keeps up the defensive work, even as some of the offensive numbers are likely to come down just a bit (though not necessarily a ton if he keeps making contact with 94.9(!) percent of the pitches he sees in the zone).
And now a couple Castro defensive highlights from the last few days:

Pinterest is expanding its influence into the app world, with the service set to allow users the ability to highlight their favourite pieces of mobile software – when it comes to Apple's ecosystem, anyway.
Yes, app pins have been introduced for iOS, so iPhone and iPad users can pin apps which impress them to boards, and other users can simply click to download the app right from within Pinterest.
Given the sprawling size of Apple's App Store, some extra direction from Pinterest users certainly won't go amiss when it comes to sorting the wheat from the chaff.
App pins will only be visible to those using the Pinterest app on an Apple tablet or phone – so sadly Android users won't even be able to view recommended apps to see if they're also present on the Play store. Pinterest could possibly expand the concept to include Android apps in the future, but for now, reports are saying this is an iOS exclusive.
Pinterest has already got the ball rolling with its own employees picking out their top apps on the Staff Picks board. The App Store also has its own fresh profile, providing a good starting point for those who want to explore the new concept.

Tips for creating great books
Topic and title
There are almost no limits when creating books from Wikipedia content. A good book focuses on a certain topic and covers it as well as possible. A meaningful title helps other users to have the correct expectation regarding the content of a book.
Books should have a reasonable number of articles. One article is not enough, but books that result in PDFs with more than 500 pages are probably too big, and may even cause problems on older computers.
Be bold
If your book has a clear focus, meaningful title and is a reasonable size, consider adding it to the list of community books. You can either save it directly to Book:Title, or move it there from your userspace.
Step-by-step guide
This page shows you how to create a book from Wikipedia articles in four easy steps. Books can be created in PDF or OpenDocument formats, or ordered for printing on the PediaPress website. It is possible to create books through editing as well.
Step 1: Enable the "Book Creator" tool
Step 2: Collect articles
If you open a category page, the "Add this page to your book" will change to "Add this category to your book". Clicking on "Add this category to your book" will add all articles in that category.
After selecting a few articles, you can click on "Suggest pages" and you will be presented with a list of articles related to your selection. This helps you to create a more complete book if you run out of ideas, or just want to make sure you haven't forgotten anything.
Step 3: Review Your Book
Step 4: Download or order a printed book
Saving and sharing your book with others
To save your book, you must be a registered Wikipedia user (see Why create an account? for a detailed explanation).
You can save your book on the "Book" page, which can be reached by clicking the "Show book" link in the menu on the left hand side or in the toolbar. In the "Save and share your book" section you have to choose whether you want to save your book
- in your User pages or
- in the "community-maintained" Books namespace.
The second option is only available if your user account is autoconfirmed (usually meaning at least four days old and 10 edits).
Finally, you have to provide a title for your book collection and click the "Save book" button.
Linking to a book
You can add the booklink template to any page. This will add a sidebox with a link to your book. There is no agreed guideline, but it is suggested that you add it at the top of the See also section.
Revising your book
If you visit a previously saved book, the banner at the top of the page includes an option to re-open the book in the "Book Creator".
Books you have worked on will be listed in your contributions list, which you can access through the "Contributions" link at the top right of every page whenever you are logged in.
Printed books from PediaPress
By clicking the "Preview with PediaPress" button, your collection of wiki articles will be uploaded to PediaPress, a service that prints books based on wiki content. Further information about printed books can be found on the FAQ page, and at the Printed books help page, including cost and format details.
In 2007, the Wikimedia Foundation and PediaPress agreed upon a long-term partnership aimed to improve the availability of Wikipedia and other wiki-based project content in the form of high-quality print products or text documents in the OpenDocument format.

How do you get hipsters to stop smoking? Well, you throw them a party.
That's the philosophy behind Commune, a program organized by a marketing-science agency called Rescue that employs the same social branding strategies used by cigarette makers.
With more than $5 million in funding from the National Institutes of Health and other groups, Rescue hosts bar and club nights for hipsters in Minnesota, and recently wrapped up its efforts in San Francisco and San Diego.
A typical night out might involve an art show or pop-up shop, and some live music where ambassadors for the anti-smoking often include designers, bartenders, or artists. The messaging is subtle, rather than overt: Artists, for instance, might showcase posters or other works to highlight issues that hipsters care about, like how smoking leads to deforestation.
"The most important thing we want is for people to think our events are cool," says Jeff Jordan, executive director of Rescue.
Of course, those who attend the events would never be referred to as "hipster youth" to their faces. But internally, Rescue has a profile of the type of person it's hoping to reach: 18-to-24 years-olds who tend to prefer live music and smaller neighborhood bars over bustling clubs. They value self-expression and independence, are anti-mainstream, and take pride in not being materialistic.
"We think about hipsters as taking a job they love rather than one that pays a lot of money," says Pamela Ling, professor of medicine at the University of California San Francisco, who has worked closely with Rescue and spent the past few years researching the effectiveness of bar-based interventions.
This approach represents a sea change in public health from the traditional approach of reaching young people with blanket messaging (think bullet-point lists of the deleterious health effects of smoking) to new strategies that incorporate ideas drawn from industries like marketing and advertising.
Teens and young adults are a critical audience to reach on both sides: National data shows that 95% of adult smokers started before they were 21. The prevalence of smoking among 18-to-24-year-olds is 16.7%, according to the CDC. The most at-risk groups include members of the LGBT community, who smoke at far higher rates than their peers, and also those active in the bar and club scene.
"Health departments and researchers reach populations based on census variables, or demographic variables, because that is the tradition," says Joe Smyser, an adjunct professor at Columbia University and the CEO of the Public Good Projects, a nonprofit group of experts in media, marketing, and public health. "Layering psychographic variables on top of that, (by) serving people information that speaks to them based on their beliefs, values, their identity, is far more effective."
That's precisely what Big Tobacco companies do. These companies have the most "creative marketing strategies of any industry," explains Smyser. That was born from necessity, given the restrictions on most forms of digital and traditional advertising. Tobacco ad budgets have now shifted to more indirect forms of messaging in convenience and retail stores where young people tend to congregate, emphasizing menthol cigarettes and slapping terms like "organic" and "natural" on their packaging.
The industry has also doubled down on targeting identities associated with tobacco products.
"If you like alternative rock, or country music, or hip-hop, I can guess with a great deal of certainty what brand of cigarette you smoke," says Smyser.
For instance, Kool cigarettes are heavily targeted to fans of rap music and the African-American community; Camel to fans of alternative and indie rock; and Marlboro to country fans.
In recent decades, Rescue has encouraged public health departments to take a page right out of Big Tobacco's social branding playbook. Much of the available funding for programs comes from user fees on Big Tobacco, the Affordable Care Act, and The Master Settlement Agreement in the late 1990s.
Rescue's campaigns have targeted hipsters, gay and lesbian youth, country fans, electronica partiers, and other groups.
"We're now thinking about values, aspirations, and peer crowds," says UCSF's Ling, who recently published a paper demonstrating the effectiveness of Commune's approach in the American Journal of Public Health.
The researchers reported a decrease in daily smoking from 22.0% to 14.8%. When looking at any smoking (including both daily and nondaily), smoking decreased from 55.6% to 48.1%.
Despite these promising results, not all public health departments are on board. Some are uncomfortable with the idea of segmenting at all, according to Smyser, in part because it might suggest that some groups are more important than others.
This whole approach might seem counterintuitive to some. Many smokers will associate cigarette smoking with alcohol use and nights out. "If you're in the bar, some public health departments fear that it's a tacit endorsement of alcohol use and other risky behaviors," says Ling.
Jordan says that criticism has been far stronger in the past, especially in cities where law enforcement has deliberately targeted African-American communities. Back in 2003, when Rescue was commissioned by the Southern Nevada Health District public health department for a campaign to reach young hip-hop fans, the local police department showed up claiming someone had called them about a fight. "There was no fight," says Jordan. "Next thing we knew, police helicopters were circling the scene and officers were arresting people." Little did they know that the event had been sponsored by the local public health department.
Other pushback, according to LGBT public expert known simply as Dr. Scout, has centered around some of the brand ambassadors used in previous campaigns. "They (Rescue) were using the prettiest people," Dr. Scout recalls, but that has changed and the agency is now showing a range of body types and perspectives. Dr. Scout suggests that some of the campaigns have been too targeted, such as another Nevada program that focused on gay men and not women.
Earlier this year, Rescue's approach got a nod of approval from a somewhat unexpected source. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced a campaign targeted to hip-hop youth called "Fresh Empire" featuring videos of rappers and beat-boxers.
These ads, including one called BAE Goals, made the rounds online and a few aired nationally at the BET Hip-Hop Awards. Some found the campaign cheesy and forced, but for public health researchers like Ling it was an important step forward. "That was a real endorsement."

Time is the most important thing you have to invest in your property in order to sell it at a high price. Not only do you need the time to do a bit of work on your property, you also need some in order to research the real estate trade. It is people who have learned about real estate that tend to sell their properties for the highest amount. The following hints and tips have been developed by real estate professionals who have shown that they help you to sell your home quickly and for a high price.
The first thing you need to do is figure out why you are selling. You need to know your motivation, as it will also help you to determine what your available resources (effort, money and time) are. For instance, wanting a quick sale and wanting a huge profit are two incredibly different things.
Next, you have to make sure that your motivation is a private affair. If you tell what your motivation is, buyers could use it against you, particularly if they are working with a good realtor. If people really want to know why you are selling, try to be obtuse about it. A great answer is to say that your needs have shifted to something else. This answer is so vague that it could mean anything. They will likely hear exactly what they want to hear, and usually in a positive light. One example is that they believe you came into money and are looking to upgrade. Or they may think your kids have left the home and you are looking to downsize. The important thing is that your buyer won't think that you are simply selling for the money.
The final thing is that you must be ready to start cleaning. Scrub like you have never scrubbed before. The elbow grease really has to come out now and you may as well start to get rid of clutter as well, since you will have to do that before you move anyway. Your goal is to ensure your home is a true show home. Hence, you have to check the outside of the home, too. You have to make sure that your yard is clean and tidy, that your lawn is mowed and free from weeds and that your trees and bushes are pruned properly. Remember that the outside of your home is what will create the first impression. You only get one opportunity to create a first impression. All being well, the above tips will help you to make a sale quickly and for a great price.

Fire 'catastrophe' destroys hundreds of fuel tankers on Afghanistan-Iran border
Hundreds of oil and gas tankers have been destroyed by fire in a "catastrophe" at Afghanistan's biggest trade crossing with Iran, causing millions of dollars of losses, officials said Sunday.
The huge blaze, which broke out Saturday afternoon at Islam Qala port 120 kilometres (75 miles) from the western city of Herat, has been contained and an investigation launched into its cause.
"We were told that 100 or 200 tankers have been destroyed, but this number could be higher," Jailani Farhad, spokesman for the governor of Herat province, said after visiting the scene.
Younus Qazi Zada, the head of the Herat Chamber of Commerce, said 500 tankers had been engulfed by flames.
"Around $50 million of damage has been caused by the fire, but a more accurate figure will be available in the coming days," he added.
"The catastrophe was much bigger than imagined," he said.
Around 20 people were injured in the fire, according to Herat health officials.
Videos posted on social media on Saturday night showed the towering fire and huge clouds of thick black smoke billowing into the sky.
During the blaze looters descended on the site, stealing goods that were being imported and exported across the border.
Security forces on Sunday opened fire on a vehicle, killing one man, after the driver failed to stop at a checkpost that had been hastily set up to prevent suspected looters from entering what was left of the customs office compound.
An AFP photographer said hundreds of people had gathered at the site, trying to get access to the trucks.
The finance ministry said early findings suggested the blaze started in a tanker before quickly spreading and causing "heavy financial losses" -- including fuel, tankers and customs facilities.
Damage to power lines from the incident left large parts of Herat province without power on Sunday.
- Trucks fled over the border -
Islam Qala is one of the major ports in Afghanistan, through which most official trade with Iran is conducted.
Kabul has waivers from Washington allowing it to import oil and gas from Iran despite US sanctions.
Iranian foreign ministry spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh said the border "was held open for trucks, cars and people running from the fire".
Afghanistan's vice president Amrullah Saleh said hundreds of trucks were allowed to enter Iran to escape.
Traders have been asked to use alternative border crossings.
The Taliban has regularly attacked fuel tankers they suspect of supplying foreign troops in the country.
In 2014, the hardline group destroyed more than 200 fuel trucks on Kabul's outskirts in an attack.
There was no indication that militants were behind Saturday's blaze.
However, insurgents assaulted a nearby security post shortly after the blaze broke out, taking advantage of the situation, the spokesman for the governor of Herat province said Saturday.
Security forces have been deployed around the port area.
Afghanistan has been hit by a surge in violence despite ongoing peace talks between the Taliban and the Afghan government, which have so far failed to achieve a breakthrough.
The rise in violence has led US President Joe Biden's administration to launch a review of a deal signed between Washington and the terror group last year that paved the way for the withdrawal of all American troops in the coming months.
