Keeping minutes is one of the most cumbersome tasks in conducting business, especially given its administrative importance – the minutes offer a written record of meetings that can be reviewed at any time, act as important reminders and may even serve as valuable evidence. However, this is only true if they are well documented. So the question is, what makes a successful meeting minutes template?
A clear structure is key: meetings often run into several hours, and as time ticks away, the minutes may become increasingly long and unwieldy with the risk of confusion. Those who do not take their notes in a well-structured layout are sure to regret it later. For the minutes-taker, it makes sense to follow the agenda chronologically and add a heading to each discussion, which can be divided with additional sub-headings. Furthermore, the speakers should always be clearly noted – writing the names in front of the respective discussion topic should be sufficient. Visually, a different font colour for each speaker would also be helpful in following the minutes at a later time.
With just a bit of effort, meeting minutes can be transformed from an arbitrary account in the form of keywords into a useful document with a clear function: a memory aid. In essence, it should convey the overall picture, context and distribution of tasks. Minutes that fulfil these points are an accurate reflection of the meeting and a reliable reference when reconstructing what was said – and not said. In the end, the laborious task of taking the minutes should be worth the effort.
To make the process of taking minutes a bit easier in the future, we have gathered our thoughts and experiences into meeting minutes templates for you. But it's just one example of how we can simplify your daily work. With Sherpany as a partner, your executive management and board of directors meetings can become more effective – and you can do so safe in the knowledge that you're taking care of the environment, too.

Talk:Proposed features/Trail
The proposal is OK, but I wonder why it deprecates the other highways. A cycleway still is a dedicated way only for cycle use, most often found in cities. Having an extra highway tag for it keeps tagging and rendering straightforward. --SlowRider 09:59, 13 July 2007 (BST)
I would prefer highway=path, to be consistent with highway=track. Maybe route=trail or route=path could be used for long-distance paths whether they are on paths, tracks or roads. Also a pathtype tag could be proposed (similar to tracktype) 10:46, 13 July 2007 (BST)
In the UK, according to Section 329 of The Highways Act 1980:
- "footpath" means a highway...,
- "bridleway" means a highway..., and
- "cycle track" means a way constituting or comprised in a highway...
they are all highways, and they are all very different from a simple trail with particular rights of access. They are maintained by the appropriate Highway Authority to particular standards depending on which they are, and should be signed appropriately. The current mark-up is both correct and works with the current renders, therefore it does not need fixing. I might support a new tag for non-specified paths, and like Peter James, would prefer highway=path rather than a whole new key, but I will oppose this proposal while it depreciates correct and working usage.
I realise that appeal to UK law on an international project is not a full objection. I put this here to highlight that it is not universally wrong to include these tags in key:highway just because it might feel uncomfortable to some speakers who use a variant of English other than English English! In fact, if non-motor routes are removed from the main key for these things, then English English speakers might expect that tag to be labelled "carriageway", since that is the appropriate collective term for them in England (and other bits of the UK as well!) Socks 17:27, 13 July 2007 (BST)
- Perhaps, when tagging a map, tags should be representative of the way it is rendered and not be representative of a local legal term, so it could be more 'international', each country(including each flavor of english) could then give localized meaning to the tags ...--PhilippeP 12:26, 8 August 2007 (BST)
US vs UK
In the US a trail can be anything from a short overgrwon path, to a full blown gravelled forest track...

After years of progress, the world had lost focus on malaria. A child was dying every two minutes and countries were reporting significant increases in cases. The campaign group Malaria No More wanted to rebuild international momentum and identified the 2018 Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) in London as the opportunity. It needed to get the issue on the summit agenda.
An insular populist mood has made it difficult for organisations promoting international development. To succeed, this campaign had to create political space for government to choose to prioritise this issue. That meant finding stories that chimed with a mainstream domestic audience while making the policy case to the political world and winning international support.
Edelman assembled a team with expert knowledge of the political, health and science and general media. By securing a series of stories in top tier media we helped make it easier for the UK government to agree to co-host a one day Malaria Conference at CHOGM.
We worked with famous and not-so-famous Brits whose families had been struck by malaria to help build momentum. Activity ranged from placing op-eds to a press trip to a malaria affected country.
Closer to the summit, David Beckham agreed to be sealed in a glass box, surrounded by mosquitos, something covered widely by major media outlets including Sky, The Sun, The Mirror and The Express.
At the summit itself, we worked a range of political and cultural leaders to ensure the progress made on the day was recognised.
The campaign was a huge success. Edelman's work helped to generate:
• 78 stories with 4.98 million unique views
• Stories with 1.64 million print circulation
• Media that reached an audience of 159m people
At the summit, Commonwealth governments promised to halve malaria deaths by 2023, and an additional £2.9 billion was pledged to help hit that goal.

I write this article on behalf of there not being a good pricing valuation of art from new and upcoming artists from all over the world . this is my view on the matter.
i hope this will give buyers and artists a better understanding when selling or going out to buy a piece of art either as an investment interiour decoration or just as a collector.
the first thing to remember is that way back in history our OLD masters like REMBRANT , VAN GOFF, etc were not selling there paintings for vast sums of money like there selling for today in fact as you may know van goff only ever sold one of his paintings in his lifetime his art at the time was frowned upon because it didnt keep in with the regular style at that time , always remember that every artist has there own unique style like van goff had, not everyone will like what your style or subjects your painting but it will last the test of time and if not immiediate one day your art and style will come into its own, someone out there maybe not today maybe not tommorrow heck maybe not even in this centuary but one day someone will come across your art who sees what you see when your painting it and gets your style, the majority of artists all pass away poor making no money from there art , its when there passed that the art increases in value. rembrant went bankrupt and when his art went up for sale to pay his creditors his paintings went for pittance if he knew now that his art went for millions of pounds ime sure hed roll about the ground either laughing or crying.
its the same today in our modern times theres hundreds of Rembrants and van goffs out there not knowing that there art one day will be cherished and loved and bought by collectors from all over the world . every piece of art is worth some money value and i believe that every piece of art out there whatever someone pays for it has always got an increased value on what that person has payed for it.

Movies have a long history of taking heat for a little too much gore.
We know, we know, there are many of you out there who think there's no such thing as "too much gore," but sometimes a film that pushes the envelope on violence can attract some unwanted attention. Earlier this week we saw Jim Carrey bashing the extreme gun violence of Kick-Ass 2 before the flick's even out, and it got us thinking about all the other films that took a bit of a public beating for their more gruesome bits.
Sometimes the controversy is just a stir caused by critics or audiences who just couldn't handle it. Sometimes the government decides to get involved, and films can end up cut to pieces or banned for years on end. Whatever the case, have a look back at more than a dozen sci-fi, fantasy and horror flicks (sometimes all three at once) that were at the center of ultraviolent controversy.

Robert Lemos interviews Kevin Finisterre, founder of security startup Digital Munition, who created the three recent versions of the InqTana worm to raise awareness of security in Apple's OS X. Finisterre discusses his reasons for creating the worms, the problems with Mac OS X security, and why he does not fear prosecution.
Kevin Finisterre: I am 25 years old and a current resident of Columbus, Ohio. I have been publicly active in the computer security scene since around 1998. Most of my research was published through Secure Network Operations, where I served as the Head of Research and Development. Since SNOSoft has dissolved, I have been focusing my time on a project called Digital Munition. My educational background stops with your traditional high-school-level education. After feeling as if I were being spoon-fed at DeVry, I decided to just dive in head first into my career as a Unix sysadmin. My spare time is spent researching various aspects of computer security under a number of platforms.
How long have you been using Macs? How do you think the security model compares to Windows and Linux?
Finisterre: I got my first Mac in 2001. Most of InqTana was actually developed on my Dual USB 2001 iBook and an old G3 333Mhz iMac. I honestly love Mac hardware, but do not care too much for the OS. I have spent a great deal of time on Mac-based hardware developing shell code and learning the ins and outs of exploiting the PPC architecture.
Overall, I do like some of the features that OS X offers, however it is very difficult to compare the different operating systems. Obviously, because it is Unix-based, it is very similar to Linux. To put it simply, however, all three sets of OS developers do some dumb things--this is very unlikely to change in the near future. I really cannot say that which operating system is better than the other, but my personal preference is Mac hardware running the Linux OS.
Ninety percent of my time is spent on the Mac. I would take a PowerPC 4-byte assembly instruction over a single byte Intel instruction any time.
How did you find the original vulnerability in Bluetooth that this worm exploits?
Finisterre: Lots of caffeine and late nights. The real story is that OS X had recently added Bluetooth support and I just had got a new Mac Mini. That alone is the recipe for keeping me up late. My recent fetish with Bluetooth made it an easy and obvious target. I was already in the process of working on a number of other Bluetooth-related issues.
The funny thing is that it actually took some prodding to get Apple to consider this an issue. I originally reported to them that I thought it was a bad idea to share out Bluetooth in a completely open fashion. Shortly after, I discovered the directory transversal attacks which made the default setting that much more "fun." Once this developed, things were obviously taken more seriously.
In your paper, it sounds like both 10.4 and 10.3 were vulnerable, but aren't any longer. Is that right?
Finisterre: The Bluetooth bug that InqTana exploits has been patched for some time now. There was a short period of time that 10.3.x was patched, however, 10.4 silently sat vulnerable. Apple asked me to withhold information about 10.4 being vulnerable until they could get patches out. I happened to find the issue just as 10.4 was just pressed and shipped. Plenty of folks don't update their software, so under vanilla configurations of 10.3 and 10.4--read: no patches--you are vulnerable.
I would assume that if you went to the store right now and came home with a new Mac, it would have a vanilla version of 10.4 installed with Bluetooth enabled by default. [Editor's note: An Apple spokesperson has said that the Macs currently available at retail have had this problem fixed.]
Why did you decide to make a worm out of the vulnerability?
Finisterre: I have heard of so many folks touting that misconception that Macs can't get viruses that I thought it was about time to start a dialog with some of the AV (antivirus) companies and express some of my ideas. In the process of confirming my own concerns, this code was created. I am not one for talking about things in concept form - I like to actually implement and prove a concept.
The idea that Macs can't get viruses is simply absurd and I wanted to highlight that fact. It was pure coincidence that Leap.A had already (been created to) set out to prove that the old wives tale is false.
InqTana was more or less an exercise in proving folks wrong about the possibilities of Mac malware.
Just to be clear, you wrote all three variants of this worm, right?
Finisterre: This is correct. The code that was dubbed as InqTana.A by (researcher) Jarno (Niemelä) of F-Secure was originally completed on Valentine's Day. Once Leap.A was released and I did some reading I came up with InqTana.B by making a slight mod to the Leap technique. InqTana.C was the final demonstration of my concerns and will most likely be the last variant.
Each variant was created to illustrate a specific vector for implanting malware onto OS X. The detail of each one of these techniques was outlined in the paper titled InqTana through the eyes of Dr. Frankenstein.
Which of the three above methods do you think will be used by future worm and virus authors the most? Hopefully Apple will take note and address these areas of concern.
Finisterre: The InputManager technique seems to be very powerful. Using it to hook either
- init or for a MethodSwizzle will most
definitely be a popular thing to do. The primary reason I think it will be used often is due to the fact that it is portable across major versions of OS X. The launchd and dyld techniques are more specific to a particular version of OS X.

1. In Spain
Since 2015, four investigation groups have decided to join efforts to study in a multidisciplinar project the protein Transportin 3, involved in the HIV infection and in a rare muscular disease (LGMD1F). The investigation project is called "Study of the Transportin 3 deficit. A common way in the treatment of LGMD1F muscular dystrophy and the infection by HIV"
The Alliance is leadered by Juan Jesús Vílchez Padilla, chief of the Neurology Service of La Fe Hospital of Valencia, Ramon Martí Seves, researcher of the neuromuscular and mitochondrial pathology Laboratory of the Vall d'Hebron Research Institute of Barcelona, Rubén Artero, researcher of the Translation Genomic Laboratory of the Sanitary Investigation Institute INCLIVA in the University of Valencia and José Alcamí chief of the AIDS Immunopathology Unit of the Health Institute Carlos III.
During 2017, Dr. Rafael Vázquez – Health Research Institute La Fe, Valencia, joined the team tp study the application of the CRISPR gene editing system to try to restore the function of the transportin 3.
The fact that the Transportin 3 gene (TNPO3), an importin involved in the transport of factors to the cell nucleus and in the infection by the AIDS virus, is the cause of the limb-girdle 1F type myopathy has opened this multidisciplinary investigation line that through the study of the molecular mechanisms by which this disease causes TNPO3 aims to open lines that allow both therapeutic treatment of myopathy LGMD1F and developing a new class of antiretroviral.
The groups of Vílchez and Martí evidenced that this disease is due to a microdeletion in the TNPO3 gene which generates an abnormal protein with a 15 amino acids extension. The pathophysiological mechanism by which this defect originates the myopathy is still unknown. In the laboratory of Alcamí it has been demonstrated not only the resistance to the infection in lymphocytes of patients with LGMD1F but also that the mutant protein is associated to the normal variant and blocks its function, which aggravates the impact of the defect which is produced in a single copy of the gene.
"It is a unique occasion" indicates Alcamí, because we are in front of the second genetic defect described – the first is the delta32 deletion in the CCR5 receptor of the HIV – that blocks the infection by HIV. By one side the cells of these patients allow us to study and understand an essential step in the infective cycle of the HIV which is bad known yet, and by the other side, we can use the HIV as a tool that allows us understand the molecular mechanism involved in the limb-girdle myopathy LGMD1F type".
2. In Italy
In this context, it has been added an Italian investigation group, that will work together with the Spanish one integrating the results of both studies, formed by the professor Giovanna Cenacchi, from the Pathology and Subcellular Diagnose Laboratory – Biomedical and Neuromotor Sciences Department, at Bologna University, and by the Prof. Corrado Angelini, from the Neurobiology Laboratory – San Camillo Hospital's Foundation, IRCCS, at Venecia Lido, with an investigation project entitled "Setting up of an in vitro cell culture system to investigate the role of troponin3 (TNPO3) in skeletal muscle."
The aims of the present study is creating a new in vitro cell culture model and an overall view given by all the experiments that will take place in this project, which may lead to identify some alterations in protein expression that could be directly linked to a TNPO3 absence or mutation, and that could help to clarify the role of TNPO3 in muscle and that could lead also to a better understanding of its role in LGDM1F pathogenesis.
The first step to be taken in order to have the opportunity of put in practice the results of these studies towards a possible treatment of this pathology is to identify the pathogenetic mechanism, beginning from the Transportin 3 mutation, considering that to this day it has been identified the mutation but not yet clarified the subsequent mechanisms which causes the disease. The mutated transportin seems like not being capable of act correctly with "cargo" proteins, blocking the regular intranuclear transport of proteins involved in the RNA splicing mechanism, basic step in order to have a correct translation of the messenger RNA in the prothein synthesis. To do so, in this project there will be studied expressions from different proteins related with the splicing and the degradation of the protein in experimental standard conditions in differenced cellular lines and also in silencing conditions of the transportin in order to reproduce in vitro the situation assimilable to the pathologic one. All this, to try to comprehend mechanism that leads to the morphological picture described in the muscular biopsies. Once hypothesized the steps of the molecular mechanism it will be possible to interfere more specifically in their critical phases.
Let's explain briefly which are the results acquired thanks to the investigation in the last few years.
In 2013 becomes discovered the gene which codifies wrongly our Transportin 3 protein, causes the Limb-girdle Muscular Dystrophy LGMD1F. Important conclusions of this investigation demonstrated that the same protein is involved in the AIDS virus transmission and that there are many similarities between this dystrophy and another rare muscular diseases. This means that the investigations about our muscular dystrophy helps, at the same time and in a world scale, on a research for a possible therapy against the AIDS and many other neuromuscular diseases which affect million people in all over the world.
As we said first, after discovering the gene it has been revealed that exists a mutation which affects the Transportin 3. It has been a surprise because the Transportin is as well known from years for being the key protein in the infection of the immunitary cells by the AIDS, but it had never been minded as a target to study in this kind of processes.
Basing on what is explained in the scientific articles published:
the trasportins acts as a taxi driver between the cell nucleus and the cytoplasm, one must remember that the nucleus is completely isolated from the rest of the cell and there is only one route in and out which are the nuclear pores. However, the molecules cannot pass freely through these, they must be accompanied and, in this case, these escorts are the trasportins.
Between other functions, the transportins are the responsible of carrying the RNA messengers from the nucleus to the cytoplasm where they get translated and, at the same time, they are responsible of reporting to the nucleus certain proteins as transcription factors.
By the other side they explain that:
The discovering of the mutation in our family has demonstrated that, although if the transportin mutates, exists cellular vitality and the proves have shown that the mutation of this protein in the immunitary cells slows the infection of the AIDS, so the key would be develop a treatment which targets the Transportin 3 but only on immunitary molecules to avoid the effects of the muscular dystrophy. This would allow, without any doubt, a good therapy in facing the AIDS, preventing from one side the disease and, from the other one, avoiding it to multiply in already affected people.
Something that is studied and research for years appeared in a natural and spontaneous way in our family, a mutation that does not affect cell viability (except in some muscle cells) and which provides immunity.
Continue this line of research depends mainly on the ability to receive the necessary funding, from there the importance of getting funds and, hence, the creation of this association as a tool to accomplish this. It is of vital importance for us to check that the funds obtained are used to finalize the research and to bring us to the treatment and care of the Limb-girdle Muscular Dystrophy collaborating also in the medical-scientific progress of the studies of other rare diseases and AIDS.
After several years of study, visits and exams in Spain, the first publications about our 1F Limb-girdle Muscular Dystrophy were from 2000, with the article "Autosomal dominant limb-girdle muscular dystrophy. A large kindred with evidence for anticipation" (J. Gámez; C. Navarro; A.L. Andreu; J.M. Fernandez; L. Palenzuela; S. Tejeira; R. Fernández–Hojas; S. Schwartz; C. Karadimas; S. DiMauro; M. Hirano; C. Cervera) where through 5 muscular biopsies and the study of 61 members of our family it was discovered that suffered from a unknown muscular dystrophy. From it, the authors of this study did a full genomic scan to identify the locus of the disease. In 2003 they published the study "A novel autosomal dominant limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD 1F) maps to7q32.1-32.2" (L.Palenzuela; A.L.Andreu ; J.Gámez; M.R.Vilà; T.Kumimatsu; A.Meseguer; C.Cervera; I.Fernández Cadenas; P.F.M. Van der Ven; T.G.Nygaard; E.Bonilla; and M. Hirano) with which it was discovered the locus of the disease and it was detected that there was no defect at the Filamin C or its protein product, genetical defect already known inside of this cromosomic region. With this study, it was clarified that we were in front of a new autosomic limb-girdle dominant dystrophy yet to be discovered and it was given to it the name of LGMD1F, following the classification adopted before for the other limb-girdle muscular diseases discovered, where the 1 number means that is dominant and the F that is the sixth variant discovered.
Until 2011 there were no other publications directly about LGMD1F and our family, when two Italian affected of LGMD1F, members of the same Spanish family, did a new biopsy and got published the results "LGMD 1(F) – A pathogenetic hypothesis based on histopathology and ultrastructure" (G. Cenacchi, E. Peterle, L. Tarantino, V. Papa, M. Fanin, C. Angelini) in where apart from being described the morphological and ultrastructural situation, there were also hypothesized other encoding proteins of the actin as possible responsibles of the LGMD1F pathogenic mechanism.
In 2012 it was published the study "Next generation sequencing applications are ready for genetic diagnosis of muscular dystrophies" (M. Savarese, A. Torella, M. Mutarelli, M. Dionisi, T. Giugliano, G. Di Fruscio, M. Iacomino, A. Garofalo, S. Aurino, F. Del Vecchio Blanco, G. Piluso, L. Politano, M. Fanin, C. Angelini 5, V. Nigro) where it was said that it had been identified the alteration of the Transportin 3 (TNPO3) in the LGMD1F affected patients.
It followed another study in 2012 entitled "Ultrastructural changes in LGMD1F" (G.Cenacchi, E. Peterle, M. Fanin, V.Papa, R. Salaroli, C. Angelini) where it got evidenced that the morphological and ultrastructural data suggested, in the LGMD1F studied cases, a phenotypic myopathy similar to those described by the Z-disk diseases, which leaded to the hypothesis that the mutant protein in LGMD1F can cause a decomposition of the cytoskeletal net related with desmin.
In 2013 there were published two more studies about the discovering of the genetical alteration which caused 1F Limb-girdle Muscular Dystrophy – LGMD1F.
One Spanish: "Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy 1F is caused by a microdeletion in the transportin
3 gene" (Maria J. Melià, Akatsuki Kubota, Saida Ortolano, Juan J. Vilchez, Josep Gámez,Kurenai Tanji, Eduardo Bonilla, Lluis Palenzuela, Israel Fernández-Cadenas, Anna Pristoupilová, Elena Garcia-Arumí, Antoni L. Andreu , Carmen Navarro,Michio Hirano, Ramón Martí) where it was proclaimed the identification of the 1F limb-girdle muscular dystrophy mutation's cause, in a single nucleotide heterozygote deletion (c.2771del) at the termination codon of the Transportin 3 (TNPO3) and which was not known for being a key factor in the HIV importation to nucleus process.
And an Italian one: "Next-Generation Sequencing Identifies Transportin 3 as the Causative Gene for
LGMD1F" (Annalaura Torella, Marina Fanin, Margherita Mutarelli, Enrico Peterle, Francesca Del Vecchio Blanco, Rossella Rispoli, Marco Savarese, Arcomaria Garofalo, Giulio Piluso, Lucia Morandi, Giulia Ricci, Gabriele Siciliano, Corrado Angelini, Vincenzo Nigro), where it was explained the identification of a shared variance in the LGMD1F affected apart from the heterozygote mutation on TNPO3 gene and that the mutant TNPO3 was located around the nucleus, but not inside. The genetic implication connected with the transport to the nucleus suggests a new pathologic mechanism which leads to the muscular dystrophy.
We have reactivated the investigation about LGMD1F!
We all affected from this dystrophy are already collaborating with these investigators since two years ago, providing them blood samples and all that is needed to help them.
In order to continue and develop this researches we need a continuous economical supply, given the great number of investigators and instrumentation needed, as is about the genetic mechanisms totally new that would open the door to the comprehension of many diseases and would achieve the application of new techniques of genetic therapy.
Our association has important function: besides of promoting the fund raising, it is in charge of channeling funds to the labs and coordinate these ongoing investigation lines, avoiding duplications in the studies that would carry to a useless waste of time and money. Specifically, in addition to put in contact the different investigators, we make easier the exchange of material for their investigations (like blood samples), so the several labs could always have the most updated information as possible.
We have direct contact with so much labs that are doing researches about us, in order to supervise the investments and the progress.
Our Association is constantly searching for funds and visibility with the aim of achieve the final objective which it was made for: to have the chance of continue these investigations and dispose a better future for millions of people.
The push for us to create this association was given to us when we saw that, thanks to the benevolence of some doctors and investigators, who in turn have stimulated and involved other labs and doctors that since now were not aware of our existence, advances are being done in the knowledge of our disease and for a possible future therapy. But due to the lack of funds, and regarding the historical moment that we are living, all this efforts could be done in vain.

Yolima Vargas Garzón blogs [1] [es] on Conspiring for a better world that she invited the candidates in Colombian presidential elections [2] to answer two questions related to environment, and not all of them answered. One of the questions:
Are you willing to change country's history by putting the environmental component as the backbone of your plan, above other economic priorities and, naturally, the exploitation of natural resources?
Read more answers from the candidates who submitted them on her post [1] [es].

What is the first place that pops up in your mind when we ask you about the location of the Amazon?
You most likely answered: Brazil!
And you aren't completely wrong since 60% of this great jungle is located in Brazil.
So…what happened to the remaining 40%? Looks like you need a geography lesson!
The Amazon basin covers not just Brazil but eight other South American countries. This is why if you want to cruise through the tropical exotic rainforests but are low on budget then Peru and Bolivia may just be the places or you.
This is because in comparison to Brazil:
- They are less crowded
- Kind to your budget
- Just as rich in biodiversity
In short, they have the potential to be the practical, cost-effective Amazonian adventure you dreamed of.
Without further ado, let's mark the great must-go places you must visit in these underappreciated basins:
Peru is known for the ancient ruins of Machu Picchu. However, after this list, you'll know that it is more than ruins and relics. In fact, the region is alive with the sounds of the jungle and its exotic creatures.
This is probably the smallest nature reserve in Peru. However, it remains one of the popular destinations for nature enthusiasts. It is in close proximity to the magnificent Manu. Hence they have similar flora and fauna dotting the lands.
Furthermore, the advantage of visiting this site is that it is not as commercialized as the other regions. This means that the jungle remains pure and untouched.
Other places to visit:
- Pucallpa
- Puzuzo
National Reserve of Pacaya-Samiria
This bustling city is proof that man and nature can live in harmony. Approximately, 42,000 inhabitants reside in the area with everyday encounters with the wildlife of the Amazon.
More than the earthbound creatures the reserve is known or its marine life. You can befriend many aquatic animals like pink dolphins and manatees on your visit to Pacaya-Samiria.
Bolivia is equivalent to the Amazon jungle of Brazil. The land is sprawling with wildlife and dense forests for you to explore.
This is the gateway to the land of swamps. The small jungle is home to the alligators, crocodiles and other scaly creatures that sluggishly crawl on the fertile lands.
Río Mamoré
The winding river offers you an opportunity to delve deep into the jungles on water. You will be able to see the animals basking under the sun on the swampy shores bordering the torrent waters. This is a great place to fish, raft and kayak.
Other places to visit:
- Chalalán Ecolodge
- San Ignacio de Moxos
We assure you that you will not regret a visit to either of these Amazonian regions. They are teeming with outlandish and unusual creatures that roam around the glorious green-land.
Are you willing to embark on Peru and Bolivia: The Amazon Experience?

For a while (I will not say how long, to not incriminate myself) our backyard hose faucet has been leaking. Not dripping but leaking. I've replaced the gaskets inside of it, but last night, I decided that I should replace the hose bib.
I did my research online. I found videos on how to replace them, articles on how to troubleshoot whats wrong with them. I even found the manufacturer's website of my very own frost free hose bib. I took a trip to Home Depot to see what they looked like and what type of replacements they had.
This was supposed to be a simple, unscrew the hose bib and screw a new one on, exercise. If it were that, do you think I'd be blogging about it?
Thus prepared, at about 4pm on Saturday afternoon, I shut the water off, affixed a wrench to my faucet and gave it a turn. It turned alright, but it wasn't unscrewing. Someplace, inside the wall one pipe was turning inside another. Not exactly what I wanted.
I checked with one of my rather handy neighbors, Dave, and he indicated that he had not done any work on that particular faucet, but warned me about the CPVC piping our builder used and how its starting to get brittle.
At this point, I was starting to feel chicken and ready to call a plumber. My wife convinced me that they would start by cutting a hole in the wall and that I should do that too (which was also Dave's recommendation). I hemmed and hawed for a while, because I wasn't sure what I'd find on the other side of the wall board. Underneath the kitchen sink. Behind a mess of supply pipes for the sink and an electrical outlet. My super handy wife remembered that we we had a set of architectural drawings of the house (why, I do not know) and she pulled them out and we pored over them, and then I started cutting.
With my luck, I cut a hole that was almost centered on a 2x4 in the wall. While that will make it easy to replace that piece of wallboard, it made it really hard to get my arm through there, but I did it. And I found the male fitting that the hose bib was connected to. I held it steady while Heather "lefty looseied" it outside, until there was a snap. And the faucet was off. With a small, torsional sheared portion of CPVC pipe. However, the female end of the faucet was too big to fit through the hole in the siding, so we were not really better off.
It came to me that the old faucet was garbage anyways, so I cut it in half. Then I could see the problem. The builder's plumber (insert all kinds of curse words here), used a plumbing cement to secure the threaded fixture. No wonder it wouldn't budge. And they weren't supposed to do that, either.
With some tool assistance from Dave and his neighbor I started to couple a fresh end to my broken pipe. I'd done PVC work before, but outside irrigation, where you can be a little sloppy. The standards are higher when you're inside your house. All was good and we affixed the new faucet to the threaded end. This was a challenge in itself, relaying messages through a child, coupled with the fact that it was really hard to screw it on. [To those experienced with plumbing, do you see the warning signs of cross-threading? I wasn't that experienced, then.]
We turned on the water, which resulted in me frantically telling Heather to turn it off, when I discovered the leak, spraying water inside the wall. She responded that she didn't know how. I don't think I got my 6'2" frame out of the kitchen cabinet that quickly any other time...
We re-tightened things and still there was a leak. We tried loosening it and there was a cracking sound. No broken pipe this time, but a sloppy glue job (remember what I said about irrigation) failed and the male end broke free of my rebuilt pipe. It was late and I was getting tired and we're not really any closer to having the water fixed.
Heather convinced me to call it a night, but I cut a larger hole in the wall and could see evidence that the faucet was cross-threaded. Which also explained why it wasn't perpendicular to the wall, either when we tightened it once before.
So, all night long, I'm visualizing how I'm going to fix it in the morning. Needless to say, I didn't sleep well. Plumbing doesn't make for sweet dreams. I really needed the water back on, because I needed to wash clothes for my first day at my new job!
Home Depot opened at 7 am and with a little assistance from Heather (I did wake her up), we got the cross-threaded end off and I went to buy a new one. I got a little wiser this time and bought enough connectors to do the whole job over again (if I hadn't done it enough already).
Bim, bam boom, it was all put together again.
And there was a tiny drop of water forming at the end of the threads. But why? I used the teflon tape, like the guy at Home Depot said... I called my Dad for some plumbing advice and when he didn't answer at home, I called him on his cell phone. Still no answer. I called home again and realized that they weren't there, its their anniversary weekend! My first messages were about plumbing, not anniversary wishes, so I rectified that. I kept hoping the water would stop dripping and dry up and headed to my kids' swim team audit.
Five hours later, I stopped at Home Depot and Roger in the plumbing section asked if I used teflon tape and sealant. As you already know, I did not and we had a great chat about it and I was on my home again (trip #4) with sealant.
Bim, bam, boom. Faucet off, re-taped, threads glopped up with sealant. Faucet screwed 2-1/2 rotations on (1 more rotation, because we needed it closer to the wall) and there are no more drops forming.
I've got some ultra-sensitive water test paper (read: toilet paper) around the fitting and I've checked it a few times and so far we're good.
Because of Heather (and some good support from neighbors and Home Depot employees), we saved the cost of a plumbers visit, but I still hate plumbing!!!

We are joined this week by Robert Martin, also known as The Beme. You might recognize him from The Men of Magic interviews. On this episode, we're covering all the Dark Ascension previews that had been shown when we recorded. And let me tell you, there are some doozies this week. And not just Sorin, either.
Interspersed throughout the card discussions are a variety of tangents. We'll talk about expensive Magic merchandise, jerks on forums, jerks playing Commander, dragons on Innistrad, money gouging and crooks, the Magic Twitter community, and a certain professional player that I had to interact with later that night. He's not a bad guy it turns out, I just severely disagree with one of his opinions. But still…screw him.

(JAMAICA GLEANER) — Police investigators in New York in the United States have charged a Jamaican man they believe stabbed his elderly mother to death before burning her body and stuffing it in a closet.
According to the New York Daily News, Jason Reeves, 32, has been charged with murder in the brutal death of his 67-year-old mother Paulette Reeves and appeared in Brooklyn Supreme Court last Friday.
He was ordered held without bail.
Officials say Paulette Reeves' body had stab wounds to the chest, face and eyes and was found up-side-down in a closet inside the Brooklyn home she shared with her son.
It's reported that there was charring on the bathroom ceiling and tub as well as blood smears in the tub and elsewhere in the apartment.
The police reportedly went to the home to make a wellness check after the devout Christian and middle school lunch aide did not show up for work for several days and her colleagues became concerned.
Jason Reeves allegedly told police his mother was away in Florida.
He was interviewed by detectives from the 77th Precinct in Brooklyn and later charged.
According to neighbours, Paulette Reeves had a premonition her son would kill her.
"I don't know what to do anymore. I think that boy's going to kill me," the New York Daily News quoted one neighbour as saying.
Another neighbour said Paulette Reeves tried to help her son, who they believe have a drug habit and mental issue.
"She sent him back home to Jamaica to get him help. He was in a car accident and he had a stroke. He came back crazy," the neighbour said.

The weather has been (uncharacteristically) sunny and so last weekend we decided to break the routine of chilling out on the PS4, and hit up something cultural like a museum.
The plan was a simple one. Tube into central, try to stay in the sun (it was the first chance we had to wear shorts this year) and maybe discover new places to visit. It started off well as London was full of all sorts of people enjoying the sun. We jumped off at Marble Arch and snaked down the side of Hyde Park before deciding to dip into the backstreet of the 'posh bit' as my partner described it.
We passed the US embassy and then Claridges. We were close to our goal and after a bit of a search down winding streets we found the entrance.
… What happened next was not what we had planned …
We had opted to check out the Handel and Hendrix museum – two homes that appeared next to each other – mostly because we like composers and to us Hendrix was someone else to learn about. A double win we thought.
Inside the entrance a cheery assistant held down the fort. We paid and were given leaflets and a map to get us around. "Take the lift and head to the top, then work your way down. Should take you about an hour" she said. Readying ourselves we headed into the lift. What happened next was not what we had planned.
So the exhibition is set over two old houses, Handel in one and Hendrix in his real life flat. However we found that this was not an hours worth of content. Unfortunately there was not enough to really justify paying the £10 admission fee. I guess that if you were an ecstatic Hendrix fan then the couple of rooms might be of interest, but it was overly disappointing to us.
Handel's house had some harpsichords in it which were pleasant enough, but the overall tour was something perhaps better suited to a YouTube video.
Feeling deflated we headed to the exit where a group of German school children were swarming into the building. And it was here that we found the one aspect that made the trip worthwhile. A brown Labrador (obviously an assistants pet) casually greeted us with a wagging tail and wet nose. Being a dog lover I later joked that every room should have had a dog. Because honestly I would have enjoyed the experience more.
On reflection it wasn't terrible, but definitely isn't worth the price of admission. Next time we'll just stick with the PS4.

Police make all officers 'uniform-ready' in Brexit planning and fears of fall-out from fuel shortages
Archant © 2018
Detectives within Norfolk Police have been warned to be 'uniform ready' to potentially assist front-line policing duties in the event of a fall-out from a no deal Brexit, in particular fears of fuel shortages.
Making all officers within the force 'uniform-ready' to bolster the front line when needed has been discussed within Norfolk Constabulary since US president Donald Trump's visit to the UK in July last year.
At the time officers from across East Anglia were seconded to help with policing the London visit, which also clashed with Latitude Festival in Suffolk and the World Cup Final.
However, we understand that all levels of officer have been told to remain uniform-ready in the event of a no-deal Brexit, while a police spokeswoman said the force has "contingency plans in place for a number of eventualities"
A source told us: "Detectives who have not had to get their uniforms ready for years are dusting them down. There appears to be particular concern over the possible impact of any fuel shortages."
Norfolk Police Federation, which represents rank and file officers, said the policy has been discussed for some time and enables the force to put "all hands to the pump".
"Going forward plain clothes officers will have the ability to deploy in uniform with equipment if required," said a spokesman. "That is the plan.
"We have a greater demand on our officers than they can meet without the assistance of all parts of the constabulary when it comes to large-scale or unplanned events - it is all hands to the pump.
"What can happen is we could have a local derby football match at the same time as a Royal visit. Those are unknowns. They could each be dealt with on an individual basis but when they come together we can utilise staff we would not normally call upon.
"That would only be emergency situations really.
"We are all police officers and the public would expect everyone to be available if needed in uniform showing a presence."
A spokeswoman for Norfolk Constabulary said: "We have contingency plans in place for a number of eventualities.
"As part of this planning and in recognition of the need to maintain frontline resourcing levels, we've made sure that officers in plain-clothed units have access to uniforms, which many already have as a result of their previous roles."
The Norfolk Resilience Forum (NRF), which brings together councils, Norfolk Fire and Rescue, Norfolk police and others, has been co-ordinating planning for different Brexit outcomes, including a no-deal, to cut the impact of any disruption.
Stuart Ruff, the forum's chair, said: "As part of the risk planning process, all partners have, and continue to, review its critical activities and assess the risk to all areas we serve."

Rej the developer of Caustic wrote this on the forum for Caustic and it could be interesting if you need as low latency as possible.
I just finished finished the rather long process of flashing the Google Play edition ROM onto my stock HTC One (GSM version aka M7) and it made a noticeable difference on latency. I haven't taken any measurements, but it's probably somewhere around what the second-gen Nexus7 is getting. (and probably on par with the Blackberry Z10)
Yay! makes it worth the hour I spent..Go Google!
This when using the OpenSLES sound API, which is only in Caustic 3
(and many other audio apps on Android), but not in Caustic 2.
Oh, and also I stress that this is after flashing Google's vanilla AOSP ROM.
Yes of course I know about rooting the phone but did not think or have been aware that you can change the Operating System of your phone to what different manufacturers use. If you did not know this I think it can be interesting to be aware of the possibility. What it means is that even if you have An Android version like for example Jellybean or whatever every company has it's own proprietary system on top of that.
Well as a Samsung phone would come preloaded with certain applications and their own versions of things.
Almost all manufacturers do not care too much about lowering the latency but Google is trying and working on it so now the lowest latency you can get is with Google's own Android version that comes with their devices. So if your phone has the same Android version as on a Google device you can switch to the same preloaded version of Android...As Rej did. Meaning that your phone would as in the case above turn into a Google Nexus device.
Have been thinking about doing this but have not had the need to lower the latency on my device yet...
Feeling tempted as there is a coming more and more midi enables synthesizers but as I am not much of a keyboard player and being a little bit afraid of doing something wrong...
If I understand it, it is not exactly like rooting your phone... but kind of fucked up an earlier phone trying to root it so if I do not get suddenly very good at keyboards probably will keep my device as it is and hopefully make some money soon so I can buy a Nexus 7 instead with lower latency already.

Solar Sector: Analysts See More Trouble Ahead
- Order Reprints
- Print Article
The remarkable swoon of the solar sector continues unabated.
While there remains widespread anticipation that an Obama Administration will push for an expansion of the use of alternative energy generally and solar in particular, those hopes have been overwhelmed by collapsing fundamentals in the industry. Several companies this week - including Canadian Solar (CSIQ), Suntech (STP) and Trina Solar (TSL) provided distressing guidance for the fourth quarter. The industry is being plagued by a combination of slowing demand in Europe, tight credit, collapsing prices and the strengthening dollar. Will the world eventually adopt solar power as a major source of electricity? Indeed it might. But in the short-run, the focus on the Street is on mundane issues like the near-term trend in revenue, profits and margins. And the indications are not good.
A number of analysts weighed in this morning on the solar stocks; here's a rundown: Oppenheimer's Sam Dubinsky today cut his ratings on Suntech, Canadian Solar and JA Solar (JASO) to Perform from Outperform. While conceding that his rating changes are "late," given the "considerable pessimism" already priced into the stocks, he adds that "fundamentals for the sector remain murky, given a volatile Euro, tight credit markets and sub-$50 oil." He says the long-term prospects remain promising, but that "a quick recoveyr in 2009 is predcated on too many moving parts to warrant a positive near-term stance." Deutsche Bank's Michael Chou this morning cut his rating on ReneSola (SOL) to Hold from Buy, lowering his target to $2.60 from $6. His 2009 EPS estimate falls to 37 cents, from 86 cents, to reflect more sluggish demand. He says that due to the global credit crunch, demand is "much weaker" than he had expected. Kaufman Bros. analyst Theodore O'Neill today cut his 2009 EPS estimate for First Solar (FSLR) to $4.89, from $5.74, noting that the company "will receive collateral damage from the panel pricing and raw material declines affecting the silicon-based panel makers and the credit issues affecting everyone." He sees cuts in silicon panels pressuring margins and sales for FSLR. He also says that declining tax revenues worldwide will limit growth in government subsidies. He maintains a Hold rating on the stock, and cut his target to $98, from $140. Merrill Lynch analyst Mark Heller today downgraded First Solar to Neutral from Buy, while cutting Sunpower (SPWRA) to Underperform from Neutral. He also repeated his Underperform rating on Evergreen Solar (ESLR). Writes Heller: "Though we remain positive on the long-term outlook for solar, it's increasingly clear that the industry is headed for a period of rationalization primarily driven by credit market problems and weakening macro economic trends." He contends that "things could get worse before they get better."
Heller calls First Solar "the best house in a bad neighborhood," but notes that "the neighborhood is getting worse by the day with increasing news flow surrounding order push outs, pricing pressure and lack of financing." He notes that spot polysilicon pricing is down 50% over the past few months and could fall further still, erasing FSLR's pricing advantage over silicon-based options. He cut his FSLR target to $100 from $200. His SPWRA target drops to $16, from $30. Mehdi Hosseini, solar analyst at Friedman Billings Ramsey, says the financial crisis is amplifying the structural problems in the industry. He says reports by JA Solar, Trina and Suntech over the past two weeks "have all indicated that the solar manufacturing industry is finally going through the changes are we believe are required to make it a viable manufacturing industry." But he adds that it is still concerning that most execs are blaming their woes on the financial crisis "and not on the exuberant expectations that have been put together over the past few years." Concludes Hosseini: "Until the industry...looks deep into the issues and problems, and until it starts to treat the industry as a commodity, where ASPs are on a secular slide, the (painful) learning curve, in our opinion, will continue."

The mind sees change
as a boggle of chaos
a messy business
an inconvenient interruption
of a life we hold dear.
Our expectations
with the dependability
to which we've grown
attached and accustomed
are no longer met.
But the Soul recognizes chaos
as pieces of a puzzle
finding their way
into a new creation
that supersedes the mind.
Consciousness is expanding
the more easily we flow
with the evolution of life
the more gracious and illustrious
our new creations become.
Our evolving world asks us to
relax into the chaos
allow the messiness
and celebrate the interruptions
as a gift of Creation.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Redskins with a quadriceps injury. He did not travel to Washington with the team.
Beckham appeared on the team's injury report Friday with a bruised quadricep and practiced on a limited basis. He was downgraded to out on Saturday.
Beckham threw one touchdown pass and caught another last week in the Giants' 30-27 overtime victory over the Chicago Bears.
The Giants have won three of their past four games to get to 4-8. The Redskins are 6-6.

PARIS, October 4, 2008 (AFP) – European leaders were set to try to cobble together a response to the global financial crisis at a mini-summit on Saturday despite disagreements that killed off talk of a Europe-wide bailout package.
French President Nicolas Sarkozy spent Friday laying the groundwork for the Paris meeting with leaders of Britain, Italy and Germany.
European leaders are hoping to forge a common position on how to tackle the financial storm sparked by the US banking crisis ahead of the Group of Eight meeting of finance ministers in Washington next week.
But summit preparations exposed sharp divisions when Germany flatly rejected an idea floated by France for a 300-billion-euro (416-billion-dollar) European fund to shore up troubled banks.
Both Germany and Britain have been reluctant to commit their taxpayers' money to a Europe-managed fund and instead advocate a case-by-case approach to rescuing financial institutions.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel and British Prime Minister Gordon Brown only confirmed they would attend after France made clear it would not push for a fund mirroring the 700-billion-dollar US bailout plan.
The Paris mini-summit will be held against the backdrop of mounting

(UPDATE: August 1, 2018)
By: Ezra Levant
Tommy Robinson has won his appeal. He has been set free.
So, I've paid the last of Tommy's legal fees — thank you to everyone who donated.
Any surplus will go to Tommy's family. We will now shut down the crowdfunding project to pay for those costs.
If you feel like helping me cover the costs of my journalistic trip to London — that's a separate fund — then please click here. It's not much — the cost of my hotel and flight, and some cab fare, but I'd appreciate it.
Click here to help with that, if you like my news reports.
Tommy Robinson wins his appeal! Tommy is coming home today!
HUGE NEWS: Tommy Robinson wins his appeal! He will be home today! His contempt conviction in Leeds is thrown out; that matter will be re-heard. Attending that new hearing is his only condition of bail. #FreeTommy— Ezra Levant 🇨🇦 (@ezralevant) August 1, 2018

(UPDATE: July 3, 2018)
by: Ezra Levant
Moments ago I received a shocking message from Tommy Robinson's family.
Tommy's legal appeal, scheduled for next week in London's Royal Courts of Justice, has been cancelled.
The excuse? The government's lawyers say they're not ready.
That's a damnable lie, of course.
Tommy has been languishing in prison since May 25th. The Crown Prosecution Service — what could be called the UK's largest law firm — has had a month and a half to prepare. They have every legal expert at their disposal. They have unlimited resources.
But they simply want Tommy to rot in jail longer.
Every day for Tommy in prison is like a week — because he's in solitary confinement, for his own safety from Muslim prison gangs who would kill him if they could.
*Tommy is ready for his appeal.
*Tommy's lawyers are ready — and his new team have only been working on the appeal for two weeks.
*The judge his ready — Lord Justice Brian Leveson, the most senior criminal judge in the UK.
But someone — somewhere — in the government wants Tommy to stay in jail just a little bit longer.
This is a "stitch-up", as Tommy would say.
So much for the land of the Magna Carta. So much for the rule of law.
I will continue to send you news as I receive it from Tommy's family or his lawyers.
P.S. To contribute to the crowdfunding campaign authorized by Tommy and his family, please donate at the bottom of this page.
(UPDATE: June 29, 2018)
by Ezra Levant
The Right Honourable Lord Justice Leveson, the most senior criminal judge in the United Kingdom, will hear Tommy Robinson's appeal.
Justice Leveson is the president of the Queen's Bench Division and the Head of Criminal Justice.
In addition to being the UK's most senior criminal judge, Justice Leveson is known for chairing the inquiry into the UK phone hacking scandal. He is familiar with the media, which is relevant to Tommy's case.
He will hear the appeal that was filed by Tommy's new lawyers last week.
The hearing will be held at the Royal Courts of Justice, in London, on July 10th at 10 a.m.
We have a top UK legal team working on the appeal, and we have the top judge in the UK hearing the appeal.
Now all we need is you.
Tommy is not independently wealthy. He and his family have asked me to crowdfund the massive legal bills this appeal.
- *100% of the proceeds will go to Tommy's legal bills.
- *If, after all the bills are paid, there is a surplus, 100% of any surplus will go to Tommy's family.
- *Tommy's family have a full, ongoing financial accounting of the funds.
Will you do your part for Tommy?
Please donate at the bottom of the page and spread the word to everyone!
(UPDATE: June 22, 2018)
by Ezra Levant
I have a small update on Tommy Robinson's case:
On Friday, June 22. I received an e-mail from John Carson, the new lawyer retained by Tommy to fight for his freedom.
Mr. Carson obviously is a professional, and is careful about what he says to the public. His goal is to do the best work possible for Tommy in the court of law, not the court of public opinion. So he is properly tight-lipped about his exact strategy. But I asked him for a statement that I could pass on to Tommy's supporters around the world, and he sent me this:
"We can confirm that those representing Stephen Lennon have lodged an appeal against sentence, together with an application for bail pending appeal. We are working towards a court hearing at the earliest possible date, and hope for a listing imminently."
What does all that mean?
Well, first of all, Stephen Lennon is Tommy's legal name — just in case you were confused. Mr. Carson is part of a larger legal team working for Tommy.
They have lodged an appeal against the sentence. That means: they are challenging the judge's 13-month prison term.
The second part of Mr. Carson's note indicates that he is asking for bail for Tommy, until the appeal is heard.
One of the craziest parts of this whole thing was that Tommy went from being scooped up on the street by seven cops, to prison, in a matter of a few hours. That's absurd — he didn't even have time to properly instruct a lawyer of his own choosing. Getting Tommy out on bail will not only allow him to visit his family and friends, but it will allow him to have proper meetings with his lawyers.
And the third point is self-explanatory — they're looking to have this hearing as soon as possible in the court's schedule.
So, in short:
The appeal has been lodged. It's an appeal of the sentence. It's an application for bail. And it's a request to have the hearing as soon as possible.
When Tommy's lawyers feel it is appropriate to tell more, they will — and I'll be sure to let you know. But I agree with their decision: their public communications in the media must not interfere at all with Tommy's chances in court.
But the message here is clear: Finally, a month after Tommy was jailed, he's finally fighting back.
Tommy Robinson is fighting back. And it's time for us to help him.
After private conversations with his family, I'm delighted to announce a way that we can all help, that has been authorized and approved by Tommy, and his family, including Tommy's wife and his mother.
Tommy has switched lawyers. He now has a top law firm that is filing an appeal.
They are giving Tommy the world-class representation that he needs.
Finally, someone is addressing everything from Tommy's treatment in prison, to the hasty manner in which Tommy was tried and convicted, and of course the shocking 13-month sentence.
With the approval and authorization of the family, I have undertaken to cover all of the fees of Tommy's new legal team.
I want to maintain the confidentiality of my conversations with the family, but I will tell you how the crowdfunded money will be handled, as agreed to by the family. 100% of all proceeds will be used to cover Tommy's legal costs.
We anticipate this will be tens of thousands of pounds. But that's fine — this is the most important legal case in the United Kingdom. I truly believe Tommy Robinson is a kind of political prisoner, and this case touches on freedom of the press, and the increasing police restrictions on ordinary Brits talking about public issues, like Muslim rape gangs and mass immigration.
If we raise more than is required to pay the legal fees, we will give 100% of the surplus to Tommy's family.
In my view, this family fund is very important.
* If Tommy is released, it can be used as a future legal defence fund for him.
* If Tommy is not released, his family can use it to pay their bills while Tommy is in prison.
* And — God forbid, I hate to even mention it, but it is a possibility — if something happens to Tommy while he's in prison, or on another occasion, these funds can assure that Tommy's family is taken care of in the future.
Tommy's family will have complete access to the financial accounts. All surplus funds will be transferred to Tommy's wife and she will have complete discretion over them.
Today is the day we fight back, in a manner that Tommy and his family have approved.
There are other things we can all do — and I salute everyone else who has been doing important things, like rallying, both in the UK and around the world, and even just speaking in social media.
This crowdfunding project is our speciality at The Rebel, and we've done it before for Tommy, when he worked with us.
Let's do it for Tommy again — and for his family.
