New Delhi [India] Dec 21 (ANI): Former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Thursday said that the judgement on 2G spectrum allocation scam case speaks for itself.
His statement came after a special Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) court on Thursday morning acquitted all the accused, including former telecom minister A Raja and Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) MP Kanimozhi, in the case.
"We respect the court's verdict. The court's statement has to be respected and I am glad that the court has pronounced unambiguously that all this massive propaganda against the UPA (United Progressive Alliance) government was without any foundation. The judgement speaks for itself," Dr Singh told reporters here.
The alleged 2G scam was among the major corruption scandals that came to light during the second term of the UPA government headed by Dr Singh.
It relates to the granting of 2G spectrum licence allocations in 2007-08 which caused, according to a report by the Comptroller and Auditor General of India, a loss of Rs 1.76 lakh crore to the exchequer.(ANI)

I have a problem with the woo community, and trust me, I consider myself to be pretty freaking woo.
My problem is this: Most of the advice around manifestation is BS.
Let's talk about what actually works.
I know you've got big goals. Let's look at how to bring those visions of success alive.
We're getting up close and personal with what it means to act like you've already got what you want, and what that looks like, specifically, for you.
Because a vision with no action remains just a vision — something to look at and think nice things about, but nothing real to hold on to.
My brand of manifestation absolutely requires action and agency on your part to produce real results.
I see so many people get hung up on manifestation, as if believing in it releases them from having to do anything to make it happen!
And yes, for the record:
- I do believe in energetic attraction and vibrational matches.
- I do believe that whatever is in my highest and best will come to pass.
That does not, however, mean that I can just sit around and wait for it to happen!
Magic must be made, my friends! Not waited for.
So listen along as I mine the wisdom and expertise of my own 7-figure clients who are doing the work to bring their big visions into existence.
I can't wait to hear which one you'll try first!
How to Become a 7-Figure Business Owner Before You've Made the Money
Listen to Episode #4 and to hear my take on the following:
- [2:00] My fave thing about myself!
- [3:46] James Wedmore's "Be Do Have" concept (and how you can apply the "Be Do Have" concept to YOUR goals!
- [5:07] My go-to example of manifestation in action
- [5:45] The secret to set-it-and-forget-it goal creation 🙂
- [7:52] What I call a random-ass buzzword (and a little guidance in making it more meaningful to you…)
And then listen in for these things that all my 7-figure clients do:
- [8:27] They take action, quickly. They don't just talk about ideas, they have deadlines and put things into motion. All of my 7-figure clients do this (and now so do I!)
- [10:29] They ask for (the right kind of) help. They have well-chosen teams, they ask respected colleagues for advice, they seek out the support of powerful coaches. Not only do they ask for help, the help they seek is expert and qualified. Asking for help has required a big mindset-shift for me, and it might for you, too. But every single one of my 7 and 8-figure clients have learned to do it, and so do we!
- [13:29] They are always learning along their growth edge. Like my client Selena Soo, who is really introverted and used to be afraid of showing up on camera. She overcame her fear by continually challenging herself, and she's gone from avoiding live camera work at all costs to doing Facebook lives, video messages, and speaking at live events.
- [15:51] They are willing to set goals and launch. They set big goals, they do big promos, and they take all the risks that come with taking bold action. Like my friend Kate Northrup, who unintentionally illustrated her message to consistently take "imperfect action" in an Instagram post by giving the wrong link and then saying the wrong day in her Instagram Stories! It was hilarious and so, so inspiring.
- [18:17] My "accidental" coaching clients, the big expectations I have of them, and why I have to walk that talk, too
After you listen, I'd love to know…
- Who do you need to be — right now — to be the person who already has the goals you've set for yourself and your business?
- Which success habit will you adopt to help you be the person who already has what you want?
- Where have you been waxing poetic on an idea but not really taking the action needed to see it through?

Can Food Change Your Life?
Yes, I can say without a shadow of a doubt that food has changed my life in many ways. Here is a story going back to my humble beginnings.
It was the summer of 1995, my friends and I decided we would spend the day in downtown (Chicago). This wasn't something new, we'd do this almost every weekend while on break from school. We'd usually go to the theatre to catch the matinee. Then we'd get lunch from the Rock N Roll McDonalds and just spend all day walking up and down Michigan Avenue. We wouldn't say much to each other aside from the random jokes and teasers but secretly, inside our own heads, we were day dreaming of what it would be like to actually be able to shop in these stores. One of the questions I asked myself would be "Man! I wonder what it would feel like to walk into the Salvatore Faragamo store and be welcomed instead of being told not to loiter"? As you can already tell, my friends and I are from very humble backgrounds. We'd walk by the Four Seasons and say things like "one day, the four of us should save up as much as we can and get a room there and just party like rich people". In other words, we dreamt and dreamt. And that's okay! Chicago is a beautiful city that inspires dreams and I believe that's what places like Michigan Avenue, Beverly Hill's Rodeo Drive and New York's 5th Avenue are designed to do.
But this particular July Saturday morning was different. We were walking down Chicago Avenue and passed by what I thought was the epitome of luxury, the ultimate perk of success, the single most incredible thing that would let myself as well as others know that I had finally made it! We had come across the Ralph Lauren Restaurant. Now I know what you're thinking? Ralph Lauren makes food? Grant it, I didn't know anything about the restaurant, nothing about its awards or chefs or rankings. As I gazed through that front window watching the people who were sitting down enjoying their lunch, I knew I had to experience that one day. With my hands and face pressed against the glass I looked all around, catching every detail from the mink coats hanging on the coat rack to the tuxedo the maître D' was wearing. I was in complete amazement. I can't tell you if I was there for only a few seconds, several minutes or an hour. I spent the rest of the day dreaming about what it would be like to finally come up.
Check out this brief 2-minute video clip on the Awesomeness of MadCook.com
The next day, my friends and I repeated our ritual. Raful, the leader of the group (by default because he was oldest) wanted to go by the lake. I insisted we needed to walk back by the Ralph Lauren restaurant. "What for? It's not like you're going in?" said Raful. I told the group that I would and that I had questions that needed answers. So we went. "Excuse me sir" I said to maître d' to which he replied "Welcome to the Ralph Lauren Restaurant, how can I serve you today sir?" I was shocked! He hadn't thrown me out, ignored me, or asked if I was lost –I didn't know what to say next. I began to stutter and mustered up what little courage I had and asked to see the menu. I couldn't tell you what it said because it could've been Hebrew to me. A brunch of French phrases and Italian names maybe… I was 12 –gimme a break. A server came by and asked if my friends and I would like something to drink at no charge while we looked at the menu to which we all jumped at the chance and gave a resounding "Yes please!" The prices were out of this world (or so it seemed like at the time). "$15 for dessert?!?" it must be made of gold is what I remember thinking. As I'm standing there, I noticed the servers passing by with their trays filled with food and it was hypnotic. Every time a server passed by, they had a new plate and the aromas instantly put me into a trance. The presentation was so perfect, I couldn't imagine eating it. This was completely different than the polish sausages we're used to getting from Maxwell Street. The smells and the appearance were so exquisite… I could only imagine what it tasted like. A manager came out and offered to show us around. Told us a bit about the history of the place and some of their policies like men must wear a jacket when dining. Little did I know it would be this experience that would propel me into the culinary world in the years to come. It was this moment that would help define the rest of my life and shape who I am today. The curiosity of what finer food was would drive almost every decision from this moment on. This is how food changed my life. The entire time I was there I had never felt so welcomed yet so out of place. I remember thinking, I don't belong here –these people are way above my class, yet, I felt so welcomed, more than any other place I had been to in my entire life. I didn't want to leave but we had to. Every day for the rest of that summer I kept saying to myself "I have to eat there! I'm going to eat there one day!" This would require more than just money to cover the tab. I'd have to invest in a suit and probably get a decent haircut.
That summer I didn't get to go but I swore to myself I would go the next summer but the money was never there. As I was going to through high school, one of my motivations for doing well in life was so that I could partake in restaurants like that. I knew and constantly told myself "I need to do well in high school! I need to get into a good college so that I could get a good job and be able to afford to eat at the Ralph Lauren Restaurant!" Summers passed by, got into a great university. Same message resonated in my head "I have to do well in college! I have to be able to get a great job so that I could afford to eat at the Ralph Lauren Restaurant." Years passed, landed a great job. Many more years passed by. I've since moved all over the country… far from Chicago and I have yet to step foot into the Ralph Lauren Restaurant.
It's now January 2019, that day in the summer of 1995 was the last time I had ever been inside that restaurant. I have no idea what the food is like or what the chairs feel like. Yet, that restaurant has made a greater impression on my life than any other place. I have cooked in some of the most incredible places in this country; I've had the privilege of being a chef and managing some awesome restaurants, but my unicorn will always be the Ralph Lauren Restaurant. That place was my muse, part of my inspiration to strive for something greater, to do better in school, to get out of the hood and make something of myself. I will always be eternally grateful to the people of that beautiful place. I do plan to go there one day, it's not a money issue now thank God. My first experience in this place would be such an emotional one that it's something I would want to share with my wife and my two daughters. So perhaps on our next visit to Chicago.Enjoying this so far? Check out our Exclusive Recipe Library, Incredible Blog and other Awesome Features by Signing Up – It's FREE!

The Underground Railroad at its peak, the nation on the brink of war,
a Kentucky family split between North and South
Newlywed Haven Haywood looks forward to working alongside her abolitionist husband, Reverend Timothy Locker, to rescue fugitive slaves. Given that her Kentucky slaveholding pa remains unaware of Timothy's secret work with the Underground Railroad, Haven feels sheltered and secure. When an unexpected rescue mission brings the honeymoon bliss to a screeching halt, little does Haven know how much her commitment to helping Timothy will be tested.
Timothy is confident he did the right thing when he married Haven—until Frank Haywood discovers how deeply involved his daughter is in Timothy's illegal activity. How far will her pa go to make it clear how angry he is? As heartbreak and conflict follow, Timothy moves his bride from Kentucky to his family's farm in Ohio where he takes over as pastor of his home church in Greenville. But is that enough to shelter Haven from further heartbreak?
With a great civil war looming on the horizon, Haven's pa continues to fan the flames of dissension within his sharply divided household. Amidst the escalating drama, Haven must come to grips with the possibility that she may never see her Kentucky home again. Could Timothy's volunteer ministry to wounded soldiers following the Battle of Perryville hold the answer to healing for Haven's family? Or will the War Between the States seal the divide forever?

Protecting Power Plants Against Lightning
Lightning protection is usually associated mainly with distribution networks or transmission lines and substations. However, another area in the electricity supply paradigm where application of arresters needs to be considered are relatively small power stations, also known as distributed generation (DG) plants. These facilities, located in populated as well as remote locations, typically generate up to 100 MW and are either hydro and wind-powered or rely on a range of fuels from natural gas to methane to diesel.
This article, from 2013, contributed by Columnist and arrester specialist Jonathan Woodworth, reviewed two case histories involving lightning and switching surge protection of such power plants.
Diesel Power Generator
A 100 MW diesel power station, located on the southern coast of the Dominican Republic, supplies electricity to an inland mining facility some 50 miles (80 km) away.
This facility suffered a major failure that required the complete rebuild of one of its 10 MW generators due to a fault during operation. After initial investigation, it was determined that the likely cause was a lightning or switching surge. Then, within only months, a second generator also failed in a similar manner. Again, it appeared that the stator insulation had been compromised, since it is well known to have a low impulse withstand capability.
Each failure ended up costing more than US$ 200,000 in repairs. To make matters worse, the plant had to operate at lower capacity during the repair period, even as their prime customer was demanding ever more power.
The plant's maintenance scheme was good, with generators monitored routinely for partial discharges and balance issues. Moreover, there was no obvious indication or precursor to either failure. Given this, a first step towards understanding and resolving the problem involved surveying the generators, the internal switchgear and the generator step-up transformer (GSU) station.
Figure 1 is a simplified system schematic that shows that the surge arresters in the system are located downstream of the breaker and not on the generator side.
Identifying the Source of the Surge
There are a number of possible sources of surges that can damage a power generator or its associated equipment, including:
1. direct lightning strike;
2. lightning surge entering the station along a phase wire;
3. switching surge entering the station on the incoming line; or 4. switching surge generated within the station.
From Figure 1, it would appear that the generator is well protected from the external power system, with the GSU between the incoming transmission line and the generator. Indeed, running a system model confirmed that the GSU does in fact offer significant protection to the generator. Arr_0 is the only arrester placed in front of the 69/23 kV transformer and offers it protection.
Figure 2 provides the input and output of the GSU with a high current surge just outside the generator substation. With the GSU transformer configured as it was, a fast ringing surge with a maximum of 10 kV could make it onto the generator bus (i.e. the low side of GSU), although it is not likely that a 15 kVrms rated generator would be affected by such a surge.
Experience also suggests that a switching surge entering from the transmission line would be of lower magnitude and therefore also not a likely source of damage to the generator.
The only other possible source is from within the generator switchgear. Indeed, maintenance records revealed that a 15 kV vacuum switch had failed at the same time as the generator. Failure of this fast operating switch could mean that a fast or slow rising surge could have been generated at the switch situated directly in front of the generator. While the surge arrester at the breaker would limit the surge magnitude that travels toward the step-up transformer, it would have little effect on the generator side of the switch. As can be seen from Figure 2, the only component between the generator and breaker is 10 meters of underground cable.
Figure 4 shows a typical magnitude and waveshape of a surge that could be generated by the pre-strike of a vacuum switch. The green trace in the figure is the waveshape curve when it reaches the generator; which looks like an open circuit and causes the amplitude to double to close to 50 kV. The circuit impedance and short distance to the end of the circuit cause a ringing surge at that point. Because generator windings have among the lowest dielectric strength of all power equipment components, a 35 to 40 kV fast rising surge could cause damage due to a winding to case fault. This is what actually occurred.
Transient modeling showed that if an arrester was installed at the generator (as in Figure 3), the surge magnitude would be reduced a few percentage points as shown by the blue trace in Figure 4. But it would still have significant magnitude. Therefore, in this case, arrester protection alone would likely not have been adequate. However, with a surge capacitor installed in front of the generator, along with the arrester, surge magnitude would be significantly reduced and made harmless to the generator (as per Figure 5).
Installation of surge packs at this generator resulted in no further failures for more than 3 years, even though vacuum switches have continued to be an issue.
Small Landfill Gas Generator in Central U.S.
A second example of how important good surge protection is at power plants also involves a smaller generator, this time located at a large landfill where collected methane is used to power 8 reciprocating engines and 8 x 1 MW generators. The power system in this case is a typical overhead 35 kV network with a well grounded four wire star system and the failures here were in the switchgear itself, not the generator.
Figure 6 is the simplified schematic for the system.
Since the generators are isolated from the 34.5 kV collector system, they are well protected from switching and incoming lightning surges. The switchgear, however, located in a common control room, was not well protected and failed.
Again, a transient study quickly demonstrated that, if a lightning event occurred within a few spans of the generator, it would travel to the riser pole – the power station's first line of defense. The arresters here would normally clamp the voltage to an acceptable level across the underground cable. But, with a 25 ohm ground on the pole, the voltage at the pole top actually soon increases to significant levels (as seen in Figure 7).
With no additional arresters or capacitors in place at this small 1 MW power plant, the riser pole arresters at the entrance of the station do not in themselves offer adequate protection in the event there is a strike near the incoming line. As per Figure 7 depicting an average strike of 31 kA near the station, voltage levels at the switchgear easily exceed its 171 kV BIL.
However, with an arrester installed at the plant's main breaker (PT1 on the schematic), switchgear voltage is reduced to 140 kV – offering a respectable margin compared to its 171 kV BIL. The addition of a capacitor in this case, would not have made much difference (see Fig. 8).
Once voltage levels are properly clamped at the switchgear, it is also important to look at the voltages at the end of the 'daisy-chained' generators. Figure 9 illustrates that if no arrester is mounted at the end of the underground line, the voltage will double and again exceed the system's BIL. To mitigate this, an elbow arrester can be mounted at the end point and the voltage level is then held to 80 kV (also shown in Figure 9.
One last consideration in such a case is how to increase the reliability of the riser pole where tariff metering is often found. The transient model shows that this can be accomplished by tying the riser pole ground to the station ground. Since station ground grids are generally below 1 ohm, this is the optimal means to manage riser pole reliability.
Given the increase in distributed generation throughout the world, great care must be taken to mitigate both internally and externallygenerated surges. As in these two examples, several 'rules of thumb' can be applied:
1. Install arrester-capacitor combinations in front of generator windings to offer protection to these especially vulnerable windings.
2. Tie the pole ground of the first pole (where the tariff metering is installed) to the station grid if possible. If not possible, ensure it has the lowest possible ground resistance possible.
3. Apply arresters to protect switchgear from outside surges that inevitably will come in on the export line.
4. Consider the end point on collector systems since the voltage will double and easily cause even a relatively low incoming surge to become one that leads to insulator failure. Apply end point arresters to avoid this.
5. If in doubt, adding an arrester is the most cost effective surge damage insurance.
6. Whenever necessary, conduct a study that will result in a detailed understanding of the transient environment for all types of surges.

Don Miguel Ruiz is the bestselling author of The Four Agreements (a New York Times bestseller for over a decade), The Mastery of Love, The Four Agreements Companion Book, The Voice of Knowledge, The Circle of Fire, and The Fifth Agreement. The teachings of Ruiz are best known for transforming complex human issues into simple common sense -- a talent that has earned him millions of fans, international acclaim, and a vote of approval from Oprah Winfrey.
Janet Mills is the founder and president of Amber-Allen Publishing. She is the co-author, with don Miguel Ruiz, of six books in The Toltec Wisdom Series, and the creator of "The Four Agreements for a Better Life" online course. Her life's mission is to publish books of enduring beauty, integrity, and wisdom, and to inspire others to fulfill their most cherished dreams.
Ruiz's explanations of Toltec-based cosmography got a major boost recently when publishing pooh-bah Oprah Winfrey mentioned his work on her TV show. Ruiz, whose workshop teachings are distilled here, was born into a Mexican family of traditional healers, became a surgeon in adulthood, then underwent a near-death experience that made him reexamine his life, his beliefs. Like the popular works of the late Carlos Castaneda, Ruiz's teachings focus on dreams and visions. "Dreaming," Ruiz argues, "is the main function of the mind." A series of four "agreements" are detailed, which make up a larger picture of unconditional human faith. Despite the New Age- sounding language, Ruiz is refreshingly clear in the presentation of his ideas. Reading aloud, actor Coyote sounds every bit the enthusiastic old hippie, genuinely excited by the concepts he is spinning. Based on the 1997 Amber-Allen edition. (Sept.)

A MOTORCYCLIST who died after a crash near Wychbold has been named as new dad Nigel Tillett.
The 46-year-old, a health support worker in Worcester, was on his way home from work at 8.05am on Saturday when his Honda motorbike was involved in a head-on collision with a Jaguar car on the A48, north of Wychbold.
His wife, Allison, said he was returning to their home in Burrish Street, Droitwich, to look after their 15-month-old son, Alexander, so she could go to work.
"Nigel was a caring dad. He was fantastic with our son," she said.
"We are grateful that Alexander is too young to grieve for his father."
She said friends are going to be asked to contribute memories of Nigel to a scrapbook which Alexander can have when he is older.
And she said her husband, who worked at Stuart House in Worcester, which provides specialist care to help people with mental health needs and learning disabilities, showed the same caring attitutde at work as he did at home.
"Nigel was very good at his job, and was a very thoughtful person, who was always willing to help people, not in the way that was easiest but in the way that would benefit them most in the long term," she said.
"He knew a lot of different people, and loved motorbikes, mountain bikes and walking, especially in Wales, where he grew up."
After the crash, Mr Tillett was taken to Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham but later died of his injuries.
The Jaguar driver, a 69-year-old man from the Wychbold area, was arrested on suspicion of causing death by careless driving and has been released on police bail until December 9 pending further inquiries.
West Mercia Police have spoken to a number of witnesses at the scene but are appealing for anyone who has not already spoken to officers to contact them.
They would also like to hear from anyone who saw either vehicle in the moments leading up to the collision.
Anyone with information should contact Sergeant Steve Hastie through the non-emergency police number 101, quoting incident 171-s-191013, or through Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

West Coast Forest Dispute to Court
The Government's decision to end beech tree logging on the West Coast is heading for Court.
Last Friday lawyers acting for mill owners issued court proceedings against Forestry Minister, Pete Hodgson, Finance Minister, Michael Cullen and SOE Timberlands Ltd over the cancellation of beech forest contracts.
The four West Coast Council's have filed affidavits in support of the action. The case is scheduled for a first hearing on 2 February.
The millers say they had no choice but to take legal action because millions of dollars are involved. It is understood the matter is now subjudice.

Never sign your title over before you get paid
Do not accept any offer that wasn't the one you agreed on. Many competitors will use this marketing tactic and they will try to lower your offer and expect you to accept that new offer since you've already invested so much time and need the car gone.
Never give your car away for free! Even if its junk or scrapped it has some value left to it

The AWS CLI allows input values to be read in from file:// for ascii input and fileb:// for binary input. This is especially useful for parameters that you would not want echoed to the screen. This also has a useful side-effect of not having to escape JSON strings at the command line.
Many of us redirect our screen outputs to files due to the large amount of information that we need to parse. Some of us are also susceptible to shoulder-surfing attacks when typing in commands. In these situations the AWS CLI input parameters may be observed by others.
Parameter values can be placed into a file, locked down with operating-system permissions and then specified via a file:// input on the command line.
(NOTE: if you are dealing with very sensitive parameters, such as passwords, then a better solution may be EC2 Parameter Store which allows Secure String parameter values to be encrypted with a KMS key)
Simple Example:
Create a file that contains a CLI parameter (this example placed an API Gateway usage plan key, aka api-key in a file named "apigwy-usage-plan-key.txt" which has an api-key value of "I-AM-A-MOCK-USAGE-PLAN-KEY")
Specify the file when calling an API via the CLI:
aws apigateway create-api-key –name 'Dev API Key' –description 'Used for development' –value file://apigwy-usage-plan-key.txt

Holts Summit to sign agreement with drug task force
HOLTS SUMMIT - The Holts Summit police chief will sign an agreement at Monday night's Board of Alderman meeting making the police department an associate member of the MUSTANG Drug Task Force.
The MUSTANG Drug Task Force has five full members that provide the majority of the force's personnel and equipment: Boone County Sheriff's Department, Callaway County Sheriff's Department, Cole County Sheriff's Department, Jefferson City Police Department and Fulton Police Department.
The Holts Summit Police Department will be an associate member of MUSTANG Drug Task Force, meaning that the department's personnel and equipment will be available for drug-related crimes in the area.
The MUSTANG Drug Task Force already operates in Holts Summit, according to Chief Kyle McIntyre.
"This agreement is just so they can use our resources," McIntyre said. "Just standard business practice."
McIntyre said, while there is a drug problem in Holts Summit, he doesn't think it's greater than anywhere else.

Emma Wever asks whether Van Gogh was left or right-handed. Read the answer.
Van Gogh was right-handed. We are almost certain of this, because in two self-portraits, he's pictured with the pallet in his right hand. But because he painted himself using a mirror, you need to flip that image. Vincent is therefore actually holding the pallet with his left hand, and his brush in his right.

The United States have been my second home for a long time. As a teenager I was an exchange student, in the following years I visited friends in Florida and California many times, and later I attended Graduate school in Hawaii.
But times have changed. Now I am not the only European who is cautious about traveling to the United States - a feeling of insecurity prevails. This insecurity is not related to crime or potential terrorist threats but to the policies of the Federal Government which more and more seems to move along a totalitarian pathway. I do not feel safe in a country that only talks about war and security and at the same time is engaged in a systematic dismantlement of civil rights. Travelers and legal aliens have been arrested and kept in custody without charge for extended periods. Security forces already have been granted rights normally only common in dictatorships.
More disturbing still is that the traditionally humanistic values of the US now have been replaced by an almost religiously founded imperial paradigm that allows the relentless pursuit of US economic and political interests against international law and against the interest of global - and even national - civil society, no to mention humanitarian considerations.
I shall quote my grandmother who is 82 and lived through the horrors of WW II, experiencing the fate of a refuge in Poland who lost everything. She observes the development in the US with horror and said last week: "This is exactly how it all began under Hitler". Perhaps she is right. And perhaps it is true that Europeans have a more sensitive historical awareness than the people of the United States. Those who dare may go about and compare the speeches, events, actions and pictures from the Third Reich and our current time. The similarities indeed are astonishing. And our German Head of State is lambasted by the US Government because he obeys the very German constitution the United States once had helped to create. It states that under no circumstances whatsoever must Germany participate in or support an attack on another country without formal decision of the United Nations. Our Chancellor currently is charged with violation of the constitution because US forces are granted the right to operate in German air space in preparation of the war against Iraq. This is a direct violation of the constitution that - I say it again - was created with the support of an enlightened US Government. Of course the US Government apparently discarded its own constitution, so I assume the constitutions of other democratic nations will not be considered overly relevant.
Last but not least I must say that I am hesitant to send this E-mail. Will I be refused the right to enter the United States because I expressed my free opinion? Will I have to face any consequences in the future? Will I be arrested for making objectively verifiable historical comparisons? Will someone even come and assassinate me? Are such fears merely signs of paranoia? Not so long ago I had considered to permanently move to the United States. It seemed a free and tolerant country to live, and peaceful, qualified and hard working people appeared to be welcome. Now the country lacks these two key aspects that would make me and my family want to live there: freedom and tolerance.
Yours very concerned,
Stefan Thiesen

Important information and updates on COVID-19 for Arizona Visitors. ⟶
Tsaile Lake, one of the larger Navajo Reservation lakes, is abundant with trout and catfish, and is particularly good for fly-fishing. So pull on those water waders, tie on your best lure, and cast away.
Behind Diné College, at the intersection of Navajo Route 7 and the Lukachukai-Window Rock road, Tsaile Lake was constructed as a flood control dam at the head of Canyon Del Muerto. It now also serves as a fishing spot and is teeming with trout and catfish.
If you have a fishing pole and tackle box, then you're all set for this lake. Be aware that heavy weeds may impede shore fishing, so fly fishing is more feasible. You'll find cut-throat, rainbow, and brook trout, along with a few catfish tugging at your line throughout the lake.
Camping is allowed by permit along the shore of this 270-acre lake. However, no facilities or improved campsites are available, so come prepared. Especially remember to bring your own firewood.
For hours, please, visit the website.
Navajo Nation fishing license is required, prices vary.

No Ibrahim Prize for Achievement in African Leadership Awarded
For the fourth time in five years , the London-based Mo Ibrahim Foundation has decided not to award its annually considered prize for excellence in African leadership.
Created by Sudan-born billionaire Mo Ibrahim, the Ibrahim Prize for Achievement in African Leadership recognizes a democratically elected African head of state who has left office within the last three years, has served his/her mandated term, and has demonstrated leadership in office, helping to lift people out of poverty and paving the way for sustainable and equitable prosperity. Recipients of the prize receive $5 million over ten years and $200,000 annually thereafter. The foundation did not elaborate on its reasons for withholding the award this year, which has been awarded three times since its creation in 2007 — most recently in 2011.
"This prize honors former heads of state or government, who, during their mandate, have demonstrated excellence in leading their country, and by doing so, serve as role models for the next generation," Salim Ahmed Salim, former secretary-general of the Organisation of African Unity, a former prime minister of Tanzania, and chair of the prize committee, said in a statement. "After careful consideration, the prize committee has determined not to award the 2013 Prize for Excellence in Leadership."
In releasing the 2013 Ibrahim Index of African Governance (summary, 44 pages, PDF) earlier this week, the foundation confirmed that while "overall governance continues to improve at the continental level," aspects of life in Africa such as personal safety and the rule of law had "declined worryingly." The foundation also noted "a widening span in performance between the best and worst governed countries" — a divergence that "may sound a warning signal, with the new century seeing fewer regional conflicts but increased domestic social unrest."

The Crossroads of Should and Must — Find and Follow Your Passion is one of those books that really doesn't fall into a clear-cut category: it's a blend of memoir, self-improvement tome, and adult picture book. At less than 160 pages, many of which were filled with drawings and large words, it was an easy read. The author's self-reflections will resonate with you, and she had some great yet very simple exercises people could do with really nothing more than paper and pen to help them figure out their passion, their next [reinvented] move. Exercises like if you're struggling to figure out what you really love, try calling your mother and asking her what you used to wish for for your future when you grew up.
"The Crossroads of Should and Must" is a highly recommended read for anyone even remotely considering reinventing.

Global Statistics Representing Electric Utility Vehicle Market Scenario
Electric utility vehicles are primarily an alternative for utility terrain vehicles that are powered with internal combustion engines. Utility vehicles find application in wineries, parks, floriculture, large estates, farms, logistics, recreational activities, and last-mile deliveries, among others. Electric utility vehicle technology assists in attaining the goal of reducing carbon emission by contributing towards minimizing the impact of global warming.
According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), a typical passenger vehicle emits about 4.6 metric tons of carbon dioxide per year. Automobile manufacturers are relying on innovative technologies to reduce their carbon footprint and improve business efficiency and profitability. Transportation electrification presents greater opportunities for utilities to improve better customer engagement. Thus, rising focus of automobile manufacturers towards curbing growing carbon emissions is projected to drive the demand for electric utility vehicles during the forecast period.
The global electric utility vehicle market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.1% during the forecast period, 2019–2026.
Intended Audience
Segmental Insights
The global electric utility vehicle market can be segmented by type, application, and region.
By type, the global electric utility vehicle market can be segmented by battery acid lead, gel lead, and lithium. The lithium segment is expected to drive the global electric utility vehicle market as batteries using combinations of lithium-ion and its variations are gaining widespread acceptance due to their superior efficiency, reduced weight, lower charging time, better power output, longer lifetime, and reduced environmental implications from battery disposal.
By application, the global electric utility vehicle market can be segmented into the logistics & delivery industry, public sector, recreation & tourism, agriculture, and others. On account of the growth of supply chain logistics and last mile delivery services, the electric utility vehicle market is expected to witness significant growth in the logistics & delivery industry segment.
Regional Insights
Geographically, the global automotive alloy wheel market has been segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Latin America and the Middle East and Africa (LAMEA).
North America is expected to witness dynamic growth in the electric utility vehicle market on account of the early adoption of technological advancements such as modernization of transportation with advancements and innovation targeting a fuel-efficient economy and the adoption of electric vehicles over conventional vehicles for greener transportation. For instance, the Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois is on a mission to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 30% till 2030 with the use of a fleet of 10 Polaris GEM electric vehicles to traverse the university campus.
Europe is expected to witness significant growth in the electric utility vehicle market during the forecast period, backed by the widespread presence of established automobile manufacturers and their growing investments in innovation and electric mobility to attain a collective goal of green and fuel-efficient transportation. For instance, Volkswagen invested USD 10.31 billion in electric mobility to reduce the CO2 emission of its vehicle fleet to zero by 2050. Volvo, a leading automobile manufacturer based in Sweden, aims for 50% of its sales to be fully electric by 2025. Thus, established manufacturers have an opportunity to invest in electric utility vehicles for application in agriculture, tourism, industry & commerce, and the public sector, among others.
Asia Pacific is pegged to be the fastest growing economy in the electric utility vehicle market with countries such as China, Japan, and India adopting incentive programs or actions to end ICE vehicle sales in the future. For instance, in September 2017, China announced plans to end the production and sales of ICE vehicles by 2040, whereas in the same year, the Indian government announced its ambitious goal of ensuring that all new vehicles after 2030 are electric, which will essentially translate to a ban on the sale of ICE vehicles post 2030. These factors are expected to drive the demand for electric utility vehicles in the region during the coming years.
Latin America is expected to witness healthy growth in the electric utility vehicle market with countries across the region striving to reduce carbon emissions in the transportation sector and improve environmental conditions. Infrastructure development has not only let industrial verticals grow and adapt to new technologies, but also lowered carbon emissions in the region. For instance, according to the European Union Institute for Security Studies (EUISS), Latin American countries account for nearly 9.5% of global GHG emissions with Brazil and Mexico as the region's largest emitters. This scenario is expected to offer several untapped markets for electric utility vehicles in the region.
The MEA region is expected to witness substantial growth in the electric utility vehicle market with regional governments and agencies taking initiatives towards sustainable development. For instance, the UAE government has introduced national initiatives such as the National Climate Change Plan for 2017–2050 to ensure sustainable development while preserving the environment. Such measures are expected to accelerate the adoption of electric utility vehicles in the region.
Key Players
Some of the major players in the global electric utility vehicle market are Addax Motors, Alke, Club Car (Ingersoll Rand Inc.), EsagonoGastone (ESAGONO ENERGIA S.R.L), E-Z-GO (Textron Specialized Vehicles Inc.), Garia Utility, GoupilIndustrie, Inc., Guangdong Lvtong, Ligier Group, Marshell Green Power, Melex Ltd., Polaris Industries, Inc., and Star EV (JH Global Services, Inc.).

And while the outside of the house is getting a makeover, I've been a busy bee here at Salmon Alley. (Love the bees buzzing around the redbud.)
Can't get over this warm spring.
Still only March!
Here's what I've been making:
Banners for babies or weddings.
I've designed several styles. Some that hang and others that drape.
I've also made a Christmas one "tis the season" which feels really out of place right now.
|Close up detail with vintage buttons
Birthday Banners! I combined this with a paint chip banner for some really festive birthday celebrations.
|100% cotton banner- very festive
And lampshades! Some sweet shades for some sweet girls.
A small lamp shade with just enough room for an initial... perfect!
Another small shade, this one goes with the Amy Butler ottoman/puff shown below.
I made this cute puff for a client with her Amy Butler Pattern... so cute!
A perfect size for the nursery.
Took a quick trip for work... gorgeous skies!
Here's Mungo traipsing over the new pavers. He's pretty happy. It's been warm and sunny. The hydrangeas are coming up and a dandelion is already to seed.
If you've got a smart phone check out Retro Camera.
I just love how images look.
These were taken by a 5 year old with my iphone.
You just can't go wrong!
Love my scarf! It's been my favorite accessory this year.
Perfect weight. From the Gap.
Ok, I've got several lampshades and other projects in the works and
I hope to get back on track with the blogging really soon. Really!
Enjoy the beautiful spring!

"If you don't get your grades, you won't be able to push on in your career". It's a sentence that many students will have heard for a number of years.
We've all been there; anxious, nervous, stressed. Just a few of the feelings that students will have faced not only on results day, but during the exam period too. These feelings can completely change your mind set going into an exam, and ultimately leave you in a state of confusion around certain questions, resulting in exam results that you weren't hoping for.
Do not worry!
You are better than a grade
Life is so much more than just an exam. Believe me, many successful professionals don't have GCSEs or A Levels. In my line of work, I see some of the most intelligent graduates struggle to get jobs because of a lack of experience, not a lack of grades.
Throughout your life you will have been educated in forms that you didn't realise. Have you played football, attended dancing, done boxing or karate? All of these are examples of additional education that you might have undertaken without realising and are key examples of discipline, teamwork and creativity.
Employer perspective
As a professional services employer, a grade looks great on paper. But with no demonstrable experience or examples of the above key personality traits which often are the difference between a good performer and top performers, I'd be more inclined to hire somebody who has those skills, with average results.
What to remember
Once you have secured you first role, nobody really cares about your grades. Experience is what counts. Experience is what will set you apart from the rest. I'm 20, I've gained experience running a £m company, managing staff, speaking at conferences and writing articles.
My non-existent English, Business or Maths A-Levels haven't stopped me. Don't let your exam results stop you.
