He also wants to know whether any public body was aware of “possible unlawful or criminal behavior involving Peverel”. The three Campaign against retirement leasehold exploitation whistleblowers – who include Susan Wood, Ken Kilmister and a third activist who prefers to remain nameless – contacted the OFT in January 2010, but the OFT is claiming that Peverel turned itself in the month before, in December 2009. In an email to Campaign against retirement leasehold exploitation yesterday afternoon Ms Yael Shine, the team leader of the OFT investigation, states: “I understand that you have approach Peverel to ask when Peverel first reported the matter to the OFT. I can confirm that Peverel reported this matter to the OFT in December 2009, prior to any complaint being received by the OFT.” This was immediately passed to Sir Peter Bottomley who replied in a statement to Campaign against retirement leasehold exploitation / LKP: “What matters is who lost, who knew and who dominated this disgrace. “It is vital to establish exactly when and in what circumstances the Serious Fraud Office, Trading Standards and the OFT first knew of allegations of possible unlawful or criminal behaviour involving Peverel. “Unless the SFO, Trading Standards and OFT were alerted by Peverel before any public organisation had any indication of wrong-doing, it cannot be right to offer four years later immunity from penalty or from prosecution. “I doubt whether the first Peverel confession does, in fact, pre-date the Campaign against retirement leasehold exploitation whistleblowers or others contacting the SFO, Trading Standards or the OFT. “Pensioners in retirement leasehold will be in despair if those who have cheated them for years are to be treated leniently. After such a protracted investigation, they have the right to expect restitution of defrauded funds and court action. “Peverel have been dominant in this field. Provisions that might be appropriate when a minnow blows the whistle on major collaborating competitors cannot be right when the whale asks for leniency.” The OFT’s fantasy that Peverel, out of an uncharacteristic sense of civic duty, turned itself in is debunked by media coverage of Campaign against retirement leasehold exploitation in late 2009. On September 26 2009, The Times journalist James Charles reported that the OFT had been swamped by complaints from pensioners living in retirement leasehold: “It [the OFT] is investigating the industry after being inundated with complaints from residents who are appalled at the way that they are treated.” On November 7 2009, The Times reported a meeting at the Commons of more than 100 Campaign against retirement leasehold exploitation supporters, hosted by Ed Davey, LibDem MP for Kingston and Surbiton and now the Energy Secretary. Davey is quoted in the article: “After meeting the Consensus Business Group [the Tchenguiz group that then owned Peverel] it seems to me that it knows that it is overcharging residents but it will not reduce the charges unless it is challenged. I find that approach outrageous.” He urged the “monopolistic” group to be broken up, and added in a specific reference to the OFT: “The OFT is considering a wider investigation into the residential home market and I believe that it should consider breaking up this cartel to increase competition.” Cirrus, the warden call and door entry provider at the centre of the price-fixing scandal, was mentioned extensively in the article. Nigel Bannister, the then chief executive of Peverel, rejected claims that the company awarded contracts to companies within the group. “People are reading a conspiracy into a problem that isn’t there. We use Cirrus because it is an excellent service,” Bannister is quoted as saying. Most damning of all to the OFT’s argument that Peverel turned itself in is the article of December 4 2009 in The Times. Briefed by Campaign against retirement leasehold exploitation, it addressed contracts awarded to Cirrus. “Campaign against retirement leasehold exploitation, the Campaign Against Retirement Leasehold Exploitation, has identified a number of developments where vulnerable residents were told of the need to upgrade their warden-call and door-entry systems but were given little choice over what the work would involve or who would do it.” It continues: “In Heather Court, in Chichester, Sussex, and Chislet Court, Herne Bay, and Roman Court, Edenbridge, both in Kent, only two companies produced a tender for the work: Cirrus and Glyn Jackson Communications.” Glyn Jackson Communications, which went into liquidation in June 2012 (its directors were Glyn Jackson and Jayne Michelle Jackson), is one of the three companies involved in sham tendering processes which always revealed Cirrus to be cheaper, according to the OFT. The Times reported the case of Gibson Court in Esher, Surrey where residents were told that they would have to pay about £39,000 for a new system. “Marina Golding [a Campaign against retirement leasehold exploitation activist], who owns a flat in the development that is used by her mother, was at a meeting in which residents were told of two quotes, one from Glyn Jackson for £41,000 and one from Cirrus for £38,973. “Mrs Golding was shocked at the huge bill quoted by Peverel and contacted another company to get an estimate for the work. Delta Communication Ltd carried out an onsite inspection and quoted her a price of £17,000 to upgrade the system in Gibson Court, more than £20,000 cheaper than the cost quoted by Cirrus.” Although the OFT states that Peverel owned up to price-fixing in December 2009, it was not co-operative with The Times. “Peverel refused to explain why Glyn Jackson was asked to quote in every case.” COMMENT The OFT’s argument that Peverel should be immune from the consequences of its fiddling because it may have contacted the OFT in December 2009 after a series of high-level exposures in the media is utterly contemptible. It needs to explain why it is airing this fiction and – equally important – why it has taken four years to deal with this inquiry. Questions need to be asked of the OFT at the highest level.

Painting and decorating anyone? Hauling away items of rubbish supposedly too big for the council? LHA July 12, 2013 at 2:25 pm As always expenditure is subject to section 19 and any leaseholder can challenge these expenses. Paul July 14, 2013 at 7:42 am LHA The problem, in reality, is the bigger trickster the managing agent/’freeholder is the worse it is for the leaseholder; I have seen for myself that some blocks of flats have been going to the LVT for over thirteen years— the freeholder will try one set of bogus accounts and fail at a cost of say£3,600, in accountant’s fees , which he would benefit by say £! 120, 000! However, he will then come back with a recycled version and try again, GROUNDHOG DAY. Even when the freeholder may have CCJs or a criminal record, he still carries on until leaseholders run out of monies. LHA July 15, 2013 at 10:18 am Paul if this is a case of a “war of fees”, leasholders can look at alternatives such as the right to manage or appointing a manager via the Tribunal. Paul July 15, 2013 at 11:22 am LHA In reality, a tricky freeholder is one step ahead— we spent £12000 putting a high profile manager from London in as two other LVT managers had failed with our freeholders non cooperation. Before our freeholder was replaced, he rushed into getting a roofing company, which cost was about £70,000 more than the quote we had sort. Where as there was £119,000 in the sinking funds we now have found he only handed over £ 17,000. He also set up the present building contractor before he left, who are doing the whole building, including, which is all the communal areas, we have noted this same contactor is also doing his eight flats. How do we know that we the minority leaseholders are not paying for this work? There is a major disadvantage for us to see any accounts at all, we spend most of our lives trying to keep up with this flawed system. LHA July 15, 2013 at 2:15 pm You keep saying “in reality” Paul I have been doing this “in reality since 1984 🙂 An injunction could have been sought against the freeholder and pre Daejan the LVT could have capped the expenses to £250, as well as consider under S19 the scope and cost of the works. If the lease does not provide for “accounts” exercise the statutory rights under S21 and 22 to have the certified. Karen July 21, 2013 at 6:47 pm Are we being asked to believe by the OFT that Peverel actually went to them with their hands up and Peverel confessed all voluntarily ! do they really, think that the British public are that stupid? I think the OFT could find themselvs under investigation if they are not careful. Why is it that everytime anyone tries to make dubious managing agents or landlords accountable for what they are doing, there is somebody/organisation somewhere down the line of which ever government is in power that tries to put up hurdles to shove it under the carpet…. Are they not listening to us? WE WILL NOT GO AWAY – WE WILL CARRY ON EXPOSING IRREGULARITIES AND CORRUPTION WITHIN THE LEASEHOLD PROPERTY WORLD……. Well done Campaign against retirement leasehold exploitation and LKP……… Michael Epstein July 21, 2013 at 9:33 pm Karen, Like a dictator that has not realised that his time is up, so those in authority such as the OFT or those that allow the continued abuse of leaseholders have not yet grasped that the pendulum has swung. Too many people are putting too much effort in to turn back now. Either the authorities who “tolerate” the excesses of freeholders and managing agents and do “convenient” deals with the freeholders and managing agents will have to take notice of the new situation or they too will be swept away by the tide of protest.

Chrisopigi monastery and rock bath on Sifnos. ISLANDS A-Z CRETE CYCLADES DODECANESE EASTERN AEGEAN IONIAN SARONIC SPORADES SEARCH ABOUT US Chrisopigi monastery on Sifnos Not far from Faros and Apokofto is Chrisopigi, which is the best bathing-place with rocks on Sifnos. I love to swim off the rocks, and this bathing-place with rocks belongs to my favourites in Greece, almost in the same class as Agia Anna on Amorgos. And it is not just because there is - like at Agia Anna - a monastery nearby. On both sides of the rock it is possible to sunbathe on, and dive from, perfectly shaped rock formations. One do not necessarily have to dive, there are small ledges from which one can walk or jump in. The monastery Chrisopigi and the rocks. Rocks at Chrisopigi. Apokofto beach can be seen on the other side of the bay. There is also a rock bath on this side of the monastery. If you like snorkeling, you will find it here. The water is crystal clear and perfect for snorkelling. There is a deep underwater ravine a few metres out in the water to the right of the monastery. When you snorkel over the ravine it tickles in your stomach and you feel almost like Jacques Cousteau. Nudism is strictly forbidden since the bathing-place is within the monastery area. Chrisopigi Monastery with surrounding rock baths. Chrisopigi monastery. The monastery is located on the rock that juts out into the sea, a small bridge connects the rock with the mainland. According to one legend - there are several - two young girls where on the rock when they were attacked by pirates. They prayed to the Virgin Mary for help and the rock was cut in two. The story do not tell if it helped. Here you can see the small bridge that connects the cliff with the mainland. The monastery is very beautifully located. Apokofto beach on the right in the picture. The baptismal font stands a bit outside the monastery. Stavros church to the left and the monastery Chrisopigi to the right. Rocks at the monastery Chrisopigi. Faros on the other side of the bay. If you stay in Faros, you see the rock and the monastery almost wherever you are. Most likely, you will be part of both weddings and baptisms if you stay in Faros a few days. It is not uncommon with several weddings and baptisms every week. Sometimes the bridal couples arrive by boat, and it is incredibly beautiful. Chrisopigi (see arrow) seen from Faros.

Religious Right radio host Sandy Rios told a caller today that conservatives perpetuating the lie that President Obama was born in Kenya was “not the same” as the real sexual assault allegations that women made against former Alabama Republican Senate candidate Roy Moore because it’s “not so far-fetched” to think Obama was not born in the U.S. Today’s episode of “Sandy Rios in the Morning” was dedicated to evaluating what went wrong in the push to elect Moore. Ken Cuccinelli, who heads the Senate Conservatives Fund, joined Rios and they agreed that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell was to blame because groups affiliated with McConnell spent millions trying to defeat Moore in the Republican primary. “I’m sure that people can’t even comprehend why Mitch McConnell would spend $30 million defeating Roy Moore and end up with a Democrat called Doug Jones,” Rios said. Cuccinelli elaborated, saying that he thought the election was “an unmitigated disaster for both conservatives and Republicans” and that “Mitch McConnell really, really screwed this one into the ground pretty good and he drove this plane into the dirt and we’re all, unfortunately, going to pay for that over the course of the next year. Mitch McConnell needs to go. He’s a terrible leader. He makes terrible decisions.” Rios was explaining to a caller later in the program that Christian conservatives do not campaign aggressively enough because “most of us get our values from Judeo-Christian ethics, so we don’t cheat and lie and try to make up stuff on people to destroy them, and that’s a weakness on our part. It makes us weak.” The caller responded by pointing to “the whole birther thing with Obama,” noting that “a lot of people who would call themselves Christian conservatives would insist that he was born in Kenya … and that’s just a lie.” “Look, so much of what we believe are lies and truth is because of what we hear,” Rios said before pausing for a few seconds to think. She went on to explain that she didn’t believe telling people that Obama was born in Kenya was comparable to the sexual assault allegations against Moore. “I would say that an allegation like that is not the same as getting women to come out and say that a man did things to them, or tried, sexually when they were 14 and he was in his early 30s. That’s really damning. I would say if you are entertaining the notion that a president may not have been born here when he has the kind of history that he has—you know, Hawaii and Indonesia and all of that—that’s not so far-fetched and that doesn’t strike a person’s character,” Rios said. She added, “I still think that maybe the truth about a lot of things regarding President Obama hasn’t come out yet.”

Charley Hull Captures CME Group Tour Championship For First Win on Tour | ISPS Handa News & Events About Ambassadors Connect Social Enquiries Charley Hull Captures CME Group Tour Championship For First Win on Tour November 21, 2016 Charley Hull Captures CME Group Tour Championship For First Win on Tour https://ispsgolf.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/E721ab1041f0bffb2fbabf3a436830d8c.jpg 900 600 ISPS Handa ISPS Handa //ispsgolf.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/ISPS-Handa-Logo_R.png November 21, 2016 November 27, 2019 Charley Hull is now a winner on the LPGA Tour. Sunday, the 2015 rookie captured her first title on Tour at the CME Group Tour Championship by holding off playing partner So Yeon Ryu to win by two-strokes. Hull carded a final round bogey-free, 66 to finish the week at 19-under par and set a new Tournament scoring record, previously set by Cristie Kerr at 17-under par in 2015. “Yeah, it’s pretty cool feeling.” Hull described to the media following her win. “Hasn’t quite sunk in yet, but I last won on the LET, the European Tour, like two years ago. Had that dry like patch for a few years. Feels good now to get a win.” Hull held a narrow 54-hole lead, one-stroke ahead of playing partners Brittany Lincicome and Ryu. She appeared nervous at the start, hitting her tee shot wayward to the right at the first hole followed by a wayward approach at the second. But as Hull began to steady herself she pulled ahead by as many as two-strokes. But Ryu kept pace, matching Hull at the par three, 16th hole to head into the final stretch tied at 18-under par. At the par 5, 17th hole Ryu’s approach rolled into the greenside bunker and up near the lip while Hull rolled hers up for an easy birdie. The two-shot swing left Ryu two-shots back heading to the final hole where she closed out her round of 67 to finish second at 17-under par for her 11th top-10 finish of 2016. “Sometime you just — well, good thing is when you decided to do something then when you are completely having a faith about it, then when you did it you cannot really complain about result,” Ryu said about her approach to the 17th hole. “Yeah, maybe 17 was only one my decision wasn’t really great. Maybe better to hit 3-wood or draw or something like that. But just sometimes I feel like just God make that happen. You know, God make that happen for make me a better player, make me a better person. So I just really don’t want to blame myself. I just take this one as just serendipity, you know.” The final title of the season was just one of many up for grabs at the season’s final event, where the Race to the CME Globe, Rolex Player of the Year, Vare Trophy and money title weren’t determined until Sunday’s final round. Looking poised to sweep the season ending awards following her second round 62, Lydia Ko walked away empty handed for the first time at the season’s final event where she won the $1 million dollar prize in its first two years. Instead, world No.2 Ariya Jutanugarn will take home the prize as well as Rolex Player of the Year honors and the money title. In Gee Chun locked up the Louise Suggs Rolex Rookie of the Year award before the season’s end with her major championship victory at the Evian Championship. She also added the Vare Trophy to her growing list of accomplishments, making a birdie at the 72nd hole to edge out Ko for the lowest scoring average of the season. She is the first player since Nancy Lopez in 1978 to win both awards in the same season. “It was big honor for me, because to have my name next to legends, and then I play with Lydia and Amy today. (Indiscernible), and I always play with them. I know she’s great, but Lydia is great player,” Chun told the media. “I learned from her a lot.” You might also like One of the following Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex, plays polo to raise funds for Sentebale in Aspen, USA Lawlor top of the world after ISPS HANDA World Disability triumph Lawlor ready to host the ISPS HANDA World Disability Invitational Recent Posts Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex, plays polo to raise funds for Sentebale in Aspen, USA August 25, 2022 Lawlor top of the world after ISPS HANDA World Disability triumph August 1, 2021 Lawlor ready to host the ISPS HANDA World Disability Invitational July 30, 2021 Win tickets to the ISPS Handa World Cup of Golf!

Istanbul, Turkey (CNN) -- A prominent Iranian human rights lawyer was under European diplomatic protection Friday after Turkish authorities released him from a detention center for illegal immigrants. Mohammad Mostafaei had barely made it to his hotel in Istanbul before diplomatic officials rushed to the scene and announced he was not safe. They swept him away in a car for his safety. "After six days [in detention], I'm so tired I just want to go to my hotel and take a shower," Mostafaei said to CNN. "I feel like I'm still in detention." He has had to make difficult, life-altering decisions in recent weeks. The lawyer has been a longtime defender of Iranian juveniles facing the death penalty. More recently, he campaigned to attract international attention to the case of Sakineh Ashtiani, the 43-year-old mother of two who was sentenced to death by stoning after she was convicted of adultery. On July 24, as activists around the world staged protests against Ashtiani's death sentence, Mostafaei was taken in by Iranian authorities for hours of interrogation. After they released him, he said, he went into hiding. Around the same time, he said, Iranian security forces detained his wife and brother-in-law. The brother-in-law has been released, but Mostafaei said his wife Fereshteh is still being held in solitary confinement without charge. "I am extremely worried about my wife and her safety," Mostafaei said in an earlier interview with CNN. "They [the Iranian authorities] told me if you don't turn yourself in, we will not let your family go," Mostafaei added. "I made a decision, after I saw that they were still going to arrest me and mistreat me, that I must leave Iran. It was a very hard decision." He added, "The truth is even when someone talks about Parmida and says her name, it's really hard for me to talk and I want to cry when that happens." Like many other Iranian dissidents, Mostafaei slipped across the border from Iran to the eastern Turkish border town of Van. He blames himself for his detention, which began after he landed at the Istanbul airport from Van. "It was my mistake. I went to the police officers inside the airport and declared myself as a refugee," he said on Friday. According to Turkish law, refugees requesting asylum must go through a registration process with the Turkish government and the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees. Normally it can take two years before a refugee is processed and granted asylum in another, typically Western country. But officials at the Turkish foreign ministry told CNN that in Mostafaei's case, he was likely to be granted asylum in a European country within days. According to the refugee agency's Ankara office, around 4,100 Iranian citizens currently are registered in Turkey and awaiting asylum in third-party countries. Metin Corabatir, the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees' representative in Ankara, estimates that "on a monthly basis there has been an increase of 25 to 50" Iranians requesting asylum, compared with before the Iranian government launched a crackdown on opposition activists following a controversial presidential election on June 12, 2009. Corabatir said 150 to 200 Iranians now request asylum in Turkey every month. In his conversation on Friday with CNN, Mostafaei expressed concern for the welfare of his imprisoned wife and his daughter, whom he left behind in Iran with her grandmother. He said he also worries about clients like Ashtiani. "Who else will do my work?" he asked. Ashtiani, a mother of two, is reportedly still being held in Tabriz prison. Iran's judiciary could reinstate her sentence of death by stoning, execute her by other means, or possibly even grant her a reprieve, according to human rights groups. CNN's Yesim Comert in Istanbul and Mitra Mobasherat in Atlanta contributed to this report

Google's business listings are the lifeblood of any online marketing campaign. They're also CRUCIAL for reputation management and visibility on the internet. Getting your Google My Business listing verified and optimized properly is a necessary step for proving to homeowners that you exist. Talk to Our GMB Expert Here's how to setup your Google My Business listing the right way plus a few bonuses that you might not be aware of! 01 Getting Verified First things first, if you don't already have a GMB listing for your company, you need to create one and get verified. Head to https://www.google.com/business/ to signup and claim your listing. You'll need to input your company name, address, and phone and submit for verification. Google will then send you a postcard to your office address with a pin number on it. We've typically seen this arrive in as quick as 3 days and sometimes up to a week. As soon as you do this you'll have access to your Google My Business dashboard. 02 Business Name Once you're logged into your Google My Business dashboard and your business is verified, take a look around. Head to the "Info" tab on the left and let's begin editing our Business information. You probably already did this when you verified your GMB listing, but make sure that your business name is the same as what is used across the internet. For SEO purposes, you want your business name to match what's across the internet on all of the other websites out there, e.g. BBB, HomeAdvisor, directory sites, local chamber of commerce, and all of those other sites where business names are displayed. If it doesn't match, it can cause issues for both customers who will be confused as well as search engine rankings down the road. 03 Category Selection This is probably the MOST important part of your GMB. If you don't have the proper primary category, you'll never be able to rank locally in Google Maps for any of the mortgage terms. It's that simple. Make sure that if your primary service is mortgage loans that your primary business category is "Mortgage Broker". There is no other selection for that! If you do refinance, loan applications, or any other loan types, list those options in the "Additional Categories" spaces. 04 Service Area & Radius This is another crucial area of the Google My Business dashboard that should be filled out properly. Make sure your office address is exactly as it should be across the internet. Or otherwise, use that address on all of your other internet profiles like Facebook, Yelp, HomeAdvisor or whereever your company is listed. **CRUCIAL STEP** Mark "Yes" in the "I deliver goods and services to my customers at their location" because if you're a mortgage broker, that's what you do. Set either cities you serve or set a radius. If you set a Radius, make sure it's a reasonable radius. Please don't do 100 miles. Set it to something like 20 miles out. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED: Even if your office address is a home, select that you serve customers at your business address. According to testing we've done, this will help your local SEO rankings for your mortgage company. If you hide your address, you are less likely to show up in searches. 05 Hours, Phone Number, & Website Make sure to list accurate hours for when you are open. This can be a headache for customers if it says you operate 24/7 and you actually close at 5pm. Make sure you get these right. Your phone number should be your main office line - this is going to be your number that gets syndicated across the internet again on all of your company profiles so make sure that you get it right! Make sure to put the homepage of your company website in the website box. Use www or don't use www depending on how your website is setup. We'd also recommend putting your contact us page or "Free Consultation" page in the appointment URL box so leads can easily reach you. Click Here to Get Started 06 Business Description The business description is your opportunity to tell prospective customers as well as Google what it is that you do. What are you known for? Why do customers prefer your services? Sell your company, but don't be spammy in the description. Trying to stuff keywords in because you think it will help you rank better with SEO doesn't help, guaranteed. People who are researching your company also will see this at the bottom of the knowledge panel, so it's a good opportunity to let them know who you are. 07 Business Photos Photos are crucial to your GMB listing. First of all, make sure your Logo, Profile Photos, and Cover Photos are filled in. This is the lifeblood of what shows up on your listing, so make sure this matches your branding. From there, you should upload as many photos as possible for interior/exterior of office, photos of jobs that you've done, team members, and more. Special Bonus: Name your photo file names before uploading about what they are. If you did a refinance in Chicago, use the file name as "refinance in chicago", etc. Does this help with Local Maps SEO? We've seen ups and downs, but it definitely can't hurt. 08 Reviews Although this step takes time to do, it is crucial that you build up a collection of Google reviews from customers that you've completed work for. Not only does it allow customers to trust you more, but Google will also display "Gold Stars" in search results for your company when people come across you in Google's search results. You can use Whitespark's Google Review Generator to get a link that you can send to customers via email. This link will take them directly to the leave a review page. Here's that link: https://whitespark.ca/google-review-link-generator/ Once you start getting reviews, make sure to reply to all of them. Yes, ALL of them! Even negative reviews. This shows prospects that you're active and that you care about all of your customers as well as shows Google you are active within your GMB dashboard. 09 Google Posts Another new feature from Google My Business. We've been using this with great success. It's an opportunity to stand out from the pack in search results. You should be using some sort of "Special Rates" to gain traction and get people to click over to your site. Create a new post with an Image or Video describing the offer (Videos work better). In the headline, describe the offer. In our example we used “Limited Time Special: Refinance and Save! Simple process. No lender fees. Apply Now!” as a summer special. Rotate offers and news in Google posts. When people find you in Google maps, those offers will stand out upon clicking, giving you a better chance of getting that call to learn about your services.

The Raiders were up by four early in the game, but the Vaqueros came back to win 6-4. Jerard O'Byrne, Channels Staff April 16, 2018 SBCC softball won 6-4 after battling out a tough game against Moorpark College at Pershing Park Thursday afternoon. City College trailed by three early in the game, but made a crucial stand in the third inning that turned the tide for the Vaqueros. “Sometimes you have to have a little bit of luck on your side to get the momentum going and then hen we definitely started hitting the ball more,” said head coach Justine Bosio. The Vaqueros got off to a slow start, finding themselves down 4-1 going into the third inning. Calista Wendell(No. 10) got the start for City College, but was pulled after the second for Isabella Gregson(No.5). Gregson came in and the first three batters got on base for the Raiders. With no outs and the bases loaded, Gregson dialed in as the Vaqueros made their stand. They were able to get three consecutive outs without allowing a single run in the process. “I kept the ball at the corners of the plate which helped a lot with grounders and pop ups,” Gregson said. “I took a deep breath before every pitch and I knew I had to keep it off the plate and did the best I could with that.” After the Vaqueros made their stand in the top of the third inning, the momentum shifted and they were able to wake up the bats and continue a wild third inning. The inning started slow for the Vaqueros with the first two batters getting out. The comeback started when first baseman Emily Brand(No. 21) hit a single to third, but the third baseman for Moorpark threw the ball off Emily’s helmet into right field which allowed Emily to score and make the score 4-2. The next batter, Sloane Greeley(No. 22), who normally plays left field, played catcher today hitting a triple to be brought in by a single from shortstop Brandi Almaraz(No. 9) Gregson was next up, and she doubled to right field allowing Almaraz to tie the game 4-4. Gregson would later score off a grounder to shortstop by second baseman Madison Foster (No. 3), taking the lead 5-4. The Vaqueros were led at the plate by Greeley who went 3-3 with a double, triple and two RBI’s. “I was just going to the plate calm and collective just doing my thing trying to score the runner and have fun with the game,” Gregson said. The Vaqueros would add another run to their lead in the fifth inning when Greeley hit a double to center field and drove in Brand to make the score 6-4. The Vaqueros’ defense was tested again in the sixth inning as Moorpark loaded the bases with two outs, but once again they were able to get out of it. Gregson would finish the game off in the top of the seventh to bring home the win. “When Isabella’s changeup is working it definitely keep hitters off and that is what we wanted to keep going with,” Bosio said. The Vaqueros improved their overall record to 12-15 and 4-6 in conference play. Their next game is Saturday against Santiago Canyon at Ventura College. Their next home game is next Tuesday against Santa Monica at Pershing Park at 2:30.

Political commentator Piers Morgan used his column Monday morning to slam “feminazis” like Madonna and the thousands of women who marched in the streets to protest Donald Trump’s election. Mr. Morgan, who predicted early that Mr. Trump would win the presidency, said Madonna “lifted the lid” on the ugly side of feminism with her inflammatory comments at the Women’s March on Washington, D.C., on Saturday. Madonna, who told the crowd that she’s “thought an awful lot about blowing up the White House,” has defended her expletive-laden speech and claimed it was taken “wildly out of context.” Mr. Morgan, the U.S. editor-at-large for Mail Online, called the 58-year-old singer’s remark a “bomb threat” that she will probably get away with. “In one short, disgraceful sentence, Madonna wrecked the Women’s March because she lifted the lid on the more repellent side of feminism: the vile, crude, man-hating, violent, nasty side,” the former CNN host wrote. “This, the March organizers constantly reminded us, was a PEACEFUL protest to prove that women don’t need VIOLENCE to make their point,” he continued. “Then came Madonna, once the fresh, exciting Material Girl, now the bitter, cynical, ageing Vinegar Girl who can always be relied upon to sour anything she touches. “I support all women’s rights and have proven this point many times as an employer and promoter of women in the workplace. But I can’t abide the feminazis, the radical, extreme feminists like Madonna. Nor can I abide the likes of Kim Kardashian and Emily Ratajkowski when they hijack feminism to justify posting stupid, offensive bird-flipping topless selfies,” he said. “Real feminism is not about murdering men you don’t like or stripping off to make money and pretending it’s about liberating women.” Mr. Morgan also criticized actress Ashley Judd, who at the march recited a poem by 19-year-old Nina Donovan, titled “I am a Nasty Woman,” which accuses Mr. Trump of lusting after his own daughter Ivanka. “Trump may deserve such ridicule for his inappropriate remarks about women,” Mr. Morgan wrote. “But where’s the feminism in mocking a hard-working, talented young mother-of-three in this way, just because [her] father became President. “No, this March wasn’t about women’s rights. At its core, it was about Trump-hating and resentment that he won and Hillary lost,” he continued. “This March turned from a defense of Women’s Rights into a celebration of Women’s Wrongs — a procession of high profile female celebrities just spewing bile. “This was nasty women being nasty, whipped into a man-hating frenzy by some very nasty women on a stage. Love was Trumped by hate and bomb threats. Ladies, I love you. But if you let the nasty women win, you lose,” he concluded. Members of Mr. Trump’s team have spoken out against Madonna’s remarks, including White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus and White House counselor Kellyanne Conway. “This is destructive,” Mrs. Conway said on ABC. “I read in an article or two that the Secret Service may be investigating that.” Copyright © 2019 The Washington Times, LLC.

This year, Hidden Valley has the perfect holiday gift for the person in your life who literally has everything except a five-liter keg of ranch dressing: Show friends and family how much you hate their diets this holiday season. Photo: Flavour Gallery It’s perfect because it is indeed a five-liter keg of ranch dressing. It’s one of two pages of Hidden Valley goodies ready to plague white-elephant gift exchanges next month that are being sold by the Flavour Gallery, a website with food-related merchandise ranging from 5 Napkin Burger paraphernalia to $30 Guy Fieri “Knuckle Sandwich” T-shirts. Hidden Valley’s mini-kegs are ten inches high by six inches wide, stackable, lined with a special FDA-approved coating that keeps contents fresh, and proudly adorned with a giant logo. They’ll also set you back $50 apiece, but don’t fret the price — each comes preloaded with “a year’s worth” of creamy dressing. That quantity is placed in quotes because who is Hidden Valley to presume to know 365 days of customers’ ranch-eating habits? If the recipient does haul this pressurized vessel home, money is on them being the type who’ll also stop by Costco to load up on ten-pound bags of baby carrots, and float that keg before they think about 2018 New Year’s resolutions.

Thin margins remain amid economic growth – AgriNews – CDMUG Publisher - Home Chicago illinois Chicago economy Chicago community Chicago tourism chicago tax Home Chicago economy Thin margins remain amid economic growth – AgriNews Chicago economy Thin margins remain amid economic growth – AgriNews By Alvin K. Hegg On Jun 18, 2022 Share CHICAGO — The trend of mild to moderate economic growth continues in the Federal Reserve Districts. Current economic temperature survey results were reported in the Beige Book released on June 1, based on information collected by May 23. This document summarizes comments received from contacts outside the Federal Reserve system and does not constitute commentary on the opinions of Federal Reserve officials. Each Federal Reserve Bank collects information about current economic conditions in its district through reports from bank and branch managers, as well as interviews and online questionnaires completed by businesses, community organizations, economists, market experts and other sources. Here are the agriculture-related comments from the corn belt districts. Chicago “Net farm income expectations for 2022 have changed little overall over the review period, with prices and costs increasing by similar amounts. Corn, soybean and wheat prices were all up, as were diesel and propane prices,” according to the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago. Cool, wet weather slowed spring planting of corn and soybeans. In addition, concerns remained about whether fertilizers would arrive on farms on time. Strong exports of dairy products have helped push up milk prices. Bird flu continued to ravage poultry farms, driving up the price of eggs. Hog prices fell, while cattle prices fell. As with farmers, herders have also faced higher input costs. Farmland prices continued to rise sharply. The Chicago District includes the northern two-thirds of Illinois and Indiana, all of Iowa, the southern two-thirds of Wisconsin, and the lower peninsula of Michigan. Saint Louis Agricultural conditions in the 8th Federal Reserve District have improved slightly since the previous report. Contacts reported low margins despite rising raw material prices due to rising input and labor costs, but remained optimistic due to continued strong demand. The contacts noted that rising energy prices have created an unprecedented opportunity for alternative energy products and other new technologies in the sector. The percentage of row crops planted has increased since the previous reporting period, but is down from this period in 2021. Progress in planted acres is down this year for every crop and every state in the district, reflecting production issues due to personnel and supply chain issues. The Federal Reserve District of St. Louis includes the southern parts of Illinois and Indiana and the eastern half of Missouri, as well as parts of Tennessee, Arkansas, Kentucky, and Mississippi. Minneapolis Agricultural conditions in the 9th Federal Reserve District remained strong. According to the first quarter survey of agricultural credit conditions, 87% of respondents said they had increased their agricultural income compared to the same period a year earlier. Farmland values ​​rose rapidly. However, due to an unusually cold and wet spring, planting and crop progress have lagged far behind in much of the district, with the exception of Montana and western portions of the Dakotas, where drought conditions were endemic. The Minneapolis-based district includes all of Minnesota, the Dakotas and Montana, the northern third of Wisconsin, and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Kansas City “Agricultural commodity prices remained at multi-year highs, providing continued tailwinds to the agricultural economy in the Federal Reserve’s 10th District. Market conditions remained favorable for prices of all major commodities in the region and prices for wheat, corn, soybeans, cotton and livestock increased slightly from the previous month,” reported the Beige Books. Farm income and credit conditions also improved further during the last survey period. However, contacts expected conditions to soften slightly in the coming months and many raised concerns about rising input costs, widespread inflationary pressures and severe drought. The western and southern parts of the region have been most exposed to drought, affecting wheat, hay and pasture conditions that could reduce profit opportunities for crop and livestock producers in these areas. The Kansas City District includes the western portion of Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Wyoming, Colorado, and northern New Mexico.

For Mountain Dew, quenching customers' desire for premium online content is just as important as satisfying their thirst. In late September, the beverage company brought a live-action, 3D, 360-degree Oculus VR video to its Dew Tour Brooklyn stop. Attendees were able to try on the virtual reality headset and spend two minutes skating right next to pro skateboader Paul Rodriguez and the all-star "Mtn Dew" skate team. "This is not an advertisement. This is an experience," Mountain Dew director of brand marketing Jamal Henderson said. The project, which was developed by agency Firstborn, marked Mountain Dew's first foray into creating content for the Oculus Rift device—but it's not going to be its last. The soft drink company has been carefully currating its image to align with the action-sports scene, through its Dew Tours, branded lifestyle website Green Label, and sponsorship of its Call of Duty and Halo franchises. Now, it wants to take its laid-back image and create a library of content for Oculus Rift users to download and consume, ideally in the comfort of their own homes. Henderson said relying on banners and other display advertisements just doesn't cut it these days: You need to engage your consumer if you want to leave a lasting impression. "When you think about the consumer—and it all starts with the consumer—they're consuming more media. In our feeds, we want to see more content. The more we can be a part of that editorial and a part of the feed and not disruptive pre-roll, I think that's the way for our brand to tell our story," he said. It's a strategy that many other marketers are employing. Red Bull and GoPro have cemented themselves as purveyors of premium lifestyle video content, while Marriott recently announced it's launching an in-house division dedicated to making original editorial and social media content. Betting on the virtual reality technology is a risky move. The latest Oculus Rift headset (Development Kit 2) costs $350—and it comes with the disclaimer that it's meant for developers. No official release date has been set for the consumer version, although it's rumored to be in 2015. So the number of people who actually own the headset is limited. In addition, Mountain Dew's skateboarding experience takes so much hard-drive space that to get consumers to try it, the company had to invite them to a place with a powerful computer. We're a long way from these immersive videos being one click away. Despite the risks, Mountain Dew hopes that by getting ahead of the curve as one of the only brands creating for this platform, it can score big. "Brands that target millennials are going to be in that 'lean-in experience' space," Henderson said. Oculus VR "is the next iteration of that. I 100 percent think that this is where brands are going. I just hope they don't do it as fast as we do."

A new campaign, touted as the “October surprise that will end Trump”, is seeking to mobilise a “secret swing state” of more than 8 million mostly unregistered “global citizens” and “progressive” Americans living abroad to vote in the U.S. election. The initiative was launched in London in the United Kingdom on Wednesday by ‘Avaaz’, a registered U.S. charity and one the world’s largest and most powerful activist groups linked to globalist billionaire George Soros. Campaigners toured from the University College London down to Parliament blasting Bruce Springsteen’s ‘Born in the USA’ while chanting “Don’t Vote Trump” from an open top bus. While illegal for registered U.S. charities to work with or for presidential candidates, a spokeswoman for Avaaz denied any connection to the Hillary campaign when quizzed. Campaigners with Avaaz however, were recorded shouting, “Vote for Hillary!” during the demonstration. A huge 88 per cent of Americans living abroad did not register to vote in the last presidential election, and Avaaz points out that “this massive untapped voting block” is much more likely to be “progressive” because “56 per cent of us [in the UK] have masters degrees” and overwhelmingly donated to Democratic candidates in the last three presidential primaries. In a press release, Avaaz references a new Oxford University study that found “America’s overseas voters… could decide the US presidency in 2016”. When combined, the potential 8 million voters around the world, “would make up the 13th largest state”, they say. Just 12 per cent of Americans abroad were registered to vote in 2012, and “the reason they don’t vote is that it’s a complicated process for them to register from abroad and many Americans miss the deadline”, Meredith Alexander, the Campaigns Director for Avaaz, told Breitbart London. Her charity, which has also campaigned for “refugee rights” and against Brexit, claims to have “enlisted over 30 million people around the world to share” a new “super easy” tool enabling left wing American expats to register to vote quickly en mass. The 8 million Americans abroad almost never vote. This dead easy tool can fix that but only if we make it famous: https://t.co/z4l7lekdub — Avaaz (@Avaaz) September 13, 2016 “Avaaz has created the world’s first, global, citizen’s get-out-the-vote drive”, Ms. Alexander added. “The more people that share it on Facebook, the more Americans abroad will see it, and the more we will be able to stop the global threat of Trump”. The group chose London for the launch as the UK has the “largest concentration of US expats outside of North America”, and at the event several Americans registered to vote before the media to prove how easy it is with Avaaz’s new tool. “For months, the world has sat on the sidelines, horrified by Trump’s hate. Now, global citizens have a way to fight back”, Emma Ruby-Sachs, Deputy Director of Avaaz added. The charity’s website encourages people to email potential U.S. voters in other countries, giving them a template that reads: “8 million Americans abroad could defeat Trump… if they vote! I wanted to make sure you saw this new overseas registration tool that makes voting dead-easy. It literally takes a few minutes :)”. The official campaign makes no mention of other presidential candidates, and is framed as simply anti-Trump. Banners on the bus today insisted the campaign it is “not authorised by any candidate or candidate office” and linked to Avaaz.org/VoteAbroad, an unintentionally close sound to ‘Voter Fraud’ – an issue which campaigners will be keen to avoid discussion of. “We are a charity in the United States, we are governed by American law, and we are not allowed to coordinate with any candidate”, Ms. Alexander explained to Breitbart London. “But, we are absolutely allowed to advocate for our position,” she added. “And our position is that Trump is a global threat”. Her argument was that Avaaz was not working for Hillary, which would be illegal, but was instead dedicated to issues like climate change and opposing nuclear weapons, and therefore must oppose Mr. Trump and his policies, which implicitly means backing Hillary. “Whether it’s banning Muslims or building walls, the man sows division wherever he goes, and that’s part of the reason Avaaz wanted to make sure everyone, everywhere can help stop Trump”, Ms. Alexander added. Avaaz launched in 2007 to agitate for various left-wing causes including animal rights and mass migration. They organised the biggest climate change march in the UK’s history and the Guardian has described them as “the globe’s largest and most powerful online activist network”. They claim to be “independent and accountable” and “wholly member-funded”. Yet, they were formed by the merger of several establishment groups including MoveOn.org – a group that received $1.46 million from George Soros during the 2004 election cycle – and Res Publica, which has received grants totalling $250,000 from the liberal billionaire’s Open Society group. Furthermore, Avaaz co-founder Ricken Patel has worked for – either directly or as a consultant – numerous globalist foundations and corporations such as the Rockefeller Foundation and the Gates Foundation. According to POLITICO, Mr. Soros has committed around $25 million to assisting Hillary Clinton and Democratic Party causes at this election cycle. Avaaz also campaigned against the UK leaving the European Union under the banner: “Choose Love, Vote Remain”. Meredith Alexander said, “Avaaz is just as strongly in support of trying to stop Brexit as we are of trying to stop Trump” and that it is “part of the same challenge” of suppressing populist, anti-globalist movements. “You have forces of division that are rising in a number of countries, whether it’s here with Brexit… the Austrian presidential election, or the American presidential election. The threats that we are facing right now tend to be threats that need global coordination,” she said, mentioning the “refugee crisis” and the “climate crisis”. Ms. Alexander also praised London’s Muslim Mayor, Sadiq Khan, for touring America to give his endorsement to Hillary Clinton. She said: “I absolutely hope that he has an effect”.

Will Bauer, who calls himself Lou Catelli, stood at the corner of Elm Avenue and West 36th Street late Wednesday morning showing off his handiwork from the night before. At the intersection were three freshly spray painted crosswalks and stop lines at the intersection Bauer painted himself. After Hampden residents and businesses grew tired of asking the city to repaint the street following repaving, Bauer decided to take matters into his own hands. At about 12:30 a.m. Wednesday, armed with some Sambuca, a striper and four cans of white spray paint bought from a local hardware store, Bauer went to work making the intersection safer. "It's for the children," Bauer said, only partially joking. Bauer described the intersection as "dangerous." Since the city has made it a four way stop, some drivers still don't realize they have to halt and just cruise through. A few minutes before, while standing at the intersection, a young woman in a black car drove through without even hitting her brakes. Bauer views his actions with a kind libertarian philosophy. He said Hampden has a diverse group of residents with a lot of talents that can be pulled together to help address the neighborhood's problems, even if it means forgoing the traditional methods of going through city government. "The more [the neighborhood] can take care of itself the more Baltimore City will leave us alone," Bauer said. Adrienne Barnes, a spokeswoman for the Baltimore City Department of Transportation, said the city agency took a dim view of the DIY street improvement. "This is not something we're very happy about," Barnes said. She said residents are not permitted to do work on city streets because of liability concerns. She said the department would have to investigate whether or not it would or could take civil or criminal action against those who participated in the painting. She said that the crosswalks are scheduled to be painted along with other lines along West 36th Street on Feb. 6, weather permitting. Catelli said that police stopped by three separate times during the painting because of calls about "malicious property destruction." Each time he said the officers laughed and just told him to finish the project. Benn Ray, president of the Hampden Village Merchants Association, said the Baltimore City Department of Transportation's lack of response to merchants and residents pleading for the crosswalks and yellow striped centerlines have forced actions such as Bauer's. "Since the city is letting us take the DIY (do it yourself) approach I think the next stop is to let the city let us start doing our own property (tax) assessments and issuing our own liquor and entertainment licenses," Ray said. "But if the city would like to help we still have three more intersections, a bike lane and a yellow center line (to be painted). So there's still opportunity to get involved." Councilwoman Mary Pat Clarke, who represents most of the area, said the crosswalks, centerlines and bike lanes on West 36th Street haven't been repainted because the contractor who repaved the street this summer has been unable to complete the job. She said getting crosswalks repainted should be a top priority because there are so many schools in the area. But she said she has been told by Director Kahlil Zaied the repainting couldn't be done in cold weather. Clarke also said she sent an email warning Zaied that residents have been threatening they would take action if the city didn't act soon. As for any repercussions for Bauer and his co-conspirators, Clarke said that was highly unlikely. "I can't imagine such a thing. We should be thanking them and apologizing for our contractors," Clarke said. Nick Mosby, who also represents parts of Hampden, said he's working with the department to get the street painting situation resolved. Mosby said the actions show the residents care about their community. "It's unfortunate. I know it's very frustrating for them," Mosby said. Follow North Baltimore Patch on Facebook and Twitter.

The moment I see someone I love and have missed, reflexively, I’m in their arms the next minute. Moreover, for me, a hug is the only remedy to make me laugh or cry. I guess most of us feel that way. When I was younger, my parents formed the habit of hugging one another when we see each other at the end of the day or when we leave out of town. The habit clung to me, and I can happily say I’ve passed it on to my husband too! In my experience, I’ve observed seven situations when you should hug your partner. Is There A Science To Hugging? Why yes! Apparently, the body releases oxytocin- the happy hormone- every time the human body receives physical contact. We’re also in an era where immunity matters for survival. The pandemic hit those with low immunities. Science apart, hug it out! Scientifically, hugging also improves one’s immunity. That seems like a fun, and non-expensive way to enhance our immunities, isn’t it? And then there is of course the most famous impact of hugs on slashing down stress levels. We’ve heard that one before, but, I for one, have also experienced it. That moment, when you get comfortable in your partner’s arms after a stressful day or event, sure makes one feel lighter and happier. But we’re not all about science, are we? We’re all about LOVE! So let’s get into why we’re really here- 7 times you should hug your partner, and I insist! (Lol) Might I add again that this comes straight from the heart and based on personal experience? Have you read this yet?? Book Review: One To Watch By Kate Stayman-London When to Hug Your Partner? Technically speaking, we don’t really need someone to tell us when we should hug our partners. But where I am really going with this is, when exactly you should never miss hugging them! There are times in our relationships when we do feel at a loss of reactions to certain situations. A hug is not a big deal, we do it all the time. But are we also doing it when our partner really needs it? I gathered some situations when I felt like a hug really did wonders for us. But then, it is also best to understand your partner’s love language before you decide to take my advice on one of all of these situations. 1. Into Sleep and Out of Sleep Sounds weird? I come from the school of thought where the first and last feeling I want at the end and start of the day is the comfort of my man. Most of us stay away from each other the entire day due to work. And then, life’s mundanity also takes away a lot of our time. In such situations, the bed, or your bedroom is one place that is just yours. If you follow the habit of going to bed together (which is really good, by the way), then make it a point to hug each other a long good night. Repeat the same next morning before you begin your day. The essence of having someone next to you while you end your day and when you see a new morning is blissful. Try it! Hug your partner away! 2. Melt down the anger Anger and fights have a very disturbing effect on our relationships. Earlier, I would also sulk until both of us felt better and then talk it out. But I also realized that if you hug your partner the moment the fight erupts, it helps soothe things much before you actually take it too far. Initially, there might be resistance to that hug. But then, gradually, you can talk it out and suggest that we hug each other every time we find situations going out of control. The point is, fights are inevitable. But hugging one another at that time is reassuring that you’re still together and that things will be okay. Even though the fight might require some time to resolve, at least the heart knows that neither of you is going away. 3. To celebrate achievements Ego kills every relationship. You should hug your partner to celebrate their achievements. Not that your hug is the validation of your success. It is more like telling your partner that you’re so proud of them. Don’t take even the smallest of things lightly. You know, like many of us have this habit that we say, “God bless you,” every time we hear someone sneeze? We’re conditioned to say it. Condition yourselves to celebrate even a new cabin, a small certificate, or even a pat on the back. A hug during the smallest of achievements also is very reassuring to your love that you are with them, and that what you do makes them happy! The Best homecoming – An Emotional War Story 4. When on their periods!!! Okay, so this one is a little biased towards the females, but someone had to say it. Thankfully, men have become more casual about their girls being on their periods. Trust me, she needs the hug whenever you can. The body and mind are already not in sync, and then not having anyone to feel protected or comforted in isn’t a very good feeling. It’s not possible to care for her throughout her cycle, but hugging her when you see her in pain or lying down exhausted will lift her spirits up for sure. And you might know already that it is hard to stay high-spirited during those days. 5. After a stressful day Some days at work are really bad. And we need all the help we can collect to get over them. Coming home to someone who will hug you and tell you it’s over and tomorrow will be better is indeed magical. Hug your partner when you see them return home all worked up. It is calming enough to forget half of what happened throughout the day. A friend of mine was having such a tough day at work that she almost typed her resignation letter. Her super-sweet husband drove to her workplace during lunch, called her down to the car, only to hug her. I remember her telling me that he said, “I hope this gives your strength.” There was nothing he could do for her at work, but there was everything he could do for her emotionally, and it did. The hug gave her everything she needed to last that day and smile when she felt angry. That sounds fab, doesn’t it? How many “Awws” did I get on this story? 6. No reason Wouldn’t it be amazing that you’re engrossed with some work, and your partner stops you for a hug? Hug your partner for no reason. Sometimes, no reason is the best reason.

This is a law-focused discussion of Deflategate legal FAQs based on recent questions I’ve received about a possible settlement between Patriots quarterback Tom Brady and the NFL. I will also discuss my proposed parameters for a NFL – Brady settlement based on stakeholder interests. I think the best result for all is a no suspension, with or without a fine. If you want to see my reasoning for that, please skip near the bottom of this post. Please read my previous post first, Answering Your Deflategate Legal Questions. It was written July 30, 2015 before Judge Richard Berman of the Southern District of New York communicated to the NFL and NFLPA lawyers. Think of this as the “Law & Order: NFL” – The Deflategate Judge Berman is the New Sheriff recap post. It makes more sense if you read the previous recap. Why did the NFL and NFLPA agree on an expedited schedule to go to court? Short answer? Because the judge wants it. Ignore what a federal court judge says to you at your extreme peril. They have a job for life if they choose, and they make things legally difficult for your client. Usually, the legal process goes slow. Many NFL and NFLPA lawyer battles have gone very slow in the past. Judge Berman, as a sentient human being, realizes that slow isn’t compatible to pretty much anyone’s true interests. (And he doesn’t care about your fantasy football team either because boring.) What does it mean that Judge Berman is encouraging settlement? Nothing. And everything. What most judges do is encourage the parties to come to an agreed resolution before trial. Why? The court system should be the last resort. We, the people, pay for it. If every single dispute went all the way to trial, you couldn’t build enough courthouses. Theoretically, the parties can often fashion a better outcome than one the judge decides. They know their own risks and interests better than an outsider judge. For situations where the parties need to continue to work together, a mutually agreed outcome can mend fences sometimes better than litigation. So, that the judge is encouraging settlement is not unusual, and no special meaning should come from him telling the parties to settle. That said, this case is a particularly good candidate for settlement because it is dumb. If you don’t think this is dumb, try explaining it to someone who knows nothing about football. The legal issues are interesting, but the underlying dispute is profoundly stupid and avoidable. Generally speaking, judges don’t like dumb controversies that the parties would be better off settling themselves. And this case the judge wants out of his court, given how much he is emphasizing settlement and a quick resolution. The best judges set clear expectations for the parties, and in some ways, put them in the adult version of time out. How did Judge Berman put the parties in time out? Judge Berman communicated this well in his first order to the NFL and Brady’s lawyers. The three main points he was making to the lawyers? 1. “Tone down their rhetoric.” – He also refers this to being “appropriate” and “helpful.” He reminds both parties of the rules in his particular court, and adds, “The earth is already sufficiently scorched, in the court’s view.” I don’t know this judge, but I already like him. High profile legal matters are brutalizing for the people involved in them. Court filings, leaks, barely-relevant-but-publicly-embarrassing information can be so damaging. And the parties involved, as they are litigating a case, can be very limited in what they can respond to publicly. Sometimes the parties need to step away from their anger, breathe, and work beyond that to see what is truly in their mutual interests. A time out. 2. Work on settlement “forthwith.” – Judge Berman put that in bold, to tell the parties he has his really serious face on about this. “Forthwith” is the fancier judge word for “do this now now now yesterday.” 3. Bring it on. – This is the unusual part of the order. Judge Berman isn’t oblivious to the public interest in this case or when the season starts. He has told the parties that he is prepared to take on this issue right now. Either through litigation or settlement between the parties. He’s probably like us, and would rather read and watch sports on TV than blurgle lawyer stuff (that likely makes his eyes roll around into the back of his head). So what did the NFLPA Jeff Kessler letter mean? Some people asked me whether the Kessler letter with the proposed schedule meant that the NFLPA’s position was weak. Nope. This is just due dates for different events that were agreed on by both parties. That’s it. Like with many cases, it just means that the parties listened to what the judge wanted them to do. Judges routinely want the parties to come up with a mutually acceptable timeline for key due dates. Because they listened to the judge, they made that timetable blisteringly fast compared to how normal legal cases go. Wait. The Kessler letter says no additional discovery is necessary. What’s up with that? Discovery can take some time. The judge is ready to hear things now. You don’t want to be seen by the judge as the side that is slowing things down. And as I mentioned in my previous Deflategate legal explainer, at this point in the litigation, the detailed facts become less relevant than how they relate to the legal standards that the judge needs to assess to see who wins. The judge isn’t deciding whether Tom Brady deflated footballs. He is deciding whether he should vacate Goodell’s arbitration ruling based on what his view of the law is on this matter. Both the NFL and Kessler seem to believe that they have enough of a factual record from the arbitration to argue the legal standards to the judge. So what does Judge Berman’s Order in response to this mean? Mike Florio at PFT already did a good explainer of the details in his post, “Judge Berman takes full control of Brady case.“ The short version? Hey, settlers, why don’t you settle down and settle this? Srsly. Settle this. Settlely yours, Judge Wanting You To Settle This. You know he is serious because of the quick time table, how relatively short the briefing limit is. And most importantly, making Roger Goodell and Tom Brady attend the status/settlement conferences in person. In front of Judge Berman, and not a magistrate judge. (This is sort of a big deal). Encouraging them repeatedly to settle before the conference, with Magistrate Judge James C. Francis IV. The dates that Berman gave need to be confirmed by the parties on Monday, August 3, 2015 at 3:00 PM. If the case goes to the judge for his decision, and Brady loses, then what? He would appeal. The issues to the NFLPA are too important. He could either serve the suspension immediately, though I think he would immediately try to get an injunction that would allow him to play. Don’t asking me which games because as I’ve said, once you are in the court system, you lose a lot of control. And if the NFL loses? Some depends on what the judge orders. Likely an appeal. It has become odd in the NFL’s appeal of the Adrian Peterson matter. I really hope this settles. So, what do you think the settlement between Tom Brady and the NFL should be? A minor note on my personal biases for people who skim long blog posts because life is short: I am a Texans fan, and a suspended Tom Brady is likely a good thing for my favorite team, not a good thing for my enjoyment of watching the best players play. That said, if all of us are looking for something that is good for the game, I need to do what some coaches do in training camp. Strip the names off the backs of the jerseys, and come up with a reasonable basis for settlement of both sides. The best settlement for everyone would be a zero game suspension, no admission of guilt, maybe a fine if Tom Brady feels like giving to charity to make this go away. NFL fines go to charity. In the Tagliabue Bountygate arbitration ruling, he ended up eliminating all the suspension, considered a fine but then rejected it. Why? In his words: “To be clear: this case should not be considered a precedent for whether similar behavior in the future merits player suspensions or fines; rather, I have decided not to issue fines this time for the reasons stated in this decision and the sake of the best interests of all involved in professional football.” OK. Not precedent. But very smart. Taglibue in this ruling strikes me as a person who is trying to put together a ruling based on reasoned principal versus anger. His main reasoning for deciding this was that players didn’t know that something that was normally fined was going to result in multi-year investigations (with reputation-tarnishing leaks that would later shown to be wrong) and suspensions. I like what is in the “best interest of all involved in professional football,” because I am part of that all. The key to coming to a settlement that both sides agree on is to start with areas of commonality, and evaluate what is drop dead essential to the relevant stakeholders. What are areas of likely agreement between NFL and Tom Brady for settlement purposes? 1. They dig football. 2. Deflategate hurts football. This controversy does not make the actual game of football better. 3. Suspensions in general do not make the game of football better. 4. This controversy has not reflected well on either the NFL or Brady. The process itself is part of their punishment. 5. Suspensions aren’t necessary for deterrence because though the NFL didn’t make this a big deal before at all, they do now, and everyone knows it. 6. Uncertainty of when the suspensions will take place are bad for the integrity of the game. (As it is, folks are trying to pin me down on what the parties will do so they can place bets. I don’t know, you degenerates). 7. They would like a do-over. Given what they know now of everything that went on, both of them would probably like a do-over of various actions since the AFC Championship. The NFL has already started some of that do-over by coming up with a protocol for dealing with game ball inflation. 8. As I said in my previous Deflategate legal answer post, I don’t know if Tom Brady did or did not maybe have general awareness of a scheme to deflate footballs. And unless you are Tom Brady, you don’t know either. He testified under oath at the arbitration that he didn’t. The NFL is saying IMO he did maybe have general awareness, so hammertime. I’ve seen the entirety of that debate, and it is tiresome. Think of this point 8 as being an agree to disagree. 9. They agree that the NFL is “required to give proper notification” of player discipline. How do we know that? Because Roger Goodell said so in just those words (pg. 18, pdf) in the Ray Rice discipline matter. 10. It is stupid that the federal courts of The United States of America are being asked to rule on what is essentially began an equipment violation that other sports leagues deal with as penalties and/or fines. Oh, and the NFL deals with this sort of stuff as fines too if you actually did the tampering, not if you generally knew about tampering. Unless you are Tom Brady. I mean, I get why the NFL lawyers filed in court pre-emptively to secure venue outside of Minnesota, but even the NFL, if they are getting real, has to concede this is dispute is a real dumb use of judicial resources. 11. If they go to trial, and not resolve it themselves, they lose a lot of control over the outcome and timing. This is bad for both the NFL and Brady and that risk is hard to evaluate. This list goes to 11. What are the parties key interests? You can’t determine what the parties are willing to give away without knowing their key interests. 1. Number of games suspended. Why the NFL cares about suspension length NFL cares because they like being tough on intregitude or something. I’ve looked at the arbitration ruling, and frankly, I don’t know how the NFL came up with four games versus two games versus eight games versus indefinite ban versus going through the spanking machine at NFL headquarters. The number of games that Brady is suspended really doesn’t matter to the NFL, other than making the NFL and Roger Goodell personally look weak by caving. Whoopdedoo. I hate ego-type issues over the greater good. Some think his outrageously tough punishment of the Patriots and Brady was partially in response to the scathing GQ Article that referred to Patriots’ owner Robert Kraft as “the assistant commissioner.“ When you go through a settlement process, a magistrate can help guide the discussions by making you articulate out loud your reasons for why something is important to you. I am not sure the NFL can do this regarding suspensions. They may say they want to suspend him to encourage players to cooperate with investigations, but even Ted Wells said that Tom Brady was very cooperative. The one thing he wasn’t cooperative with involved a rightful discovery dispute between lawyers. They don’t need to suspend him to prevent this from happening again because, everybody now knows that the NFL cares about football air pressure. Fans will never agree on suspend, don’t suspend, partial suspend, whatever nonsense people think is good. Whatever the settlement is, some contigent will be mad because sports causes feelz. What I know for certain is that ALL fans would prefer their favorite players not get suspensions for maybe being totally innocent or maybe having maybe general knowledge of rule violations usually punished by fines. Why Brady cares about suspension length Tom Brady obviously has a significantly higher personal stake about suspensions than the NFL does as an organization. Tom Brady cares because a NFL players career is uncertain. We don’t know how many games he has left in his career. Or even if he makes it through training camp without injury. Hate to add that point but flukey stuff happens. He knows better than anyone what can happen when the drafted quarterback finally gets an opportunity to play, and displaces the veteran. He knows not missing games is important to his coaches, teammates, fans. He doesn’t want this process to happen to other union members. Timing of suspension is important to him because he certainly doesn’t want to miss games at a crucial time in the season. It is uncertain how he values no suspension versus reduced suspension, though it would really be hard to swallow suspensions if you didn’t do squat. 2. Fines. Tom Brady is not a poor man. Compared to the NFL, he is a pauper. The NFL doesn’t get the money. It goes to charity. Brady might decide he is willing to offer some money as settlement just to avoid the legal risk of a bad result, and get back to playing football. Though Tagliabue was willing forgo fines and suspensions for the “best interest of all involved in professional football,” Goodell was reported not to have liked that result much. I’m not sure what getting a fine that goes to charity gets him, but he tends to like those. 3. Guilt admission. This is a sticking point. I can’t contemplate a settlement that involves any admission of guilt by Brady, if Brady maintains under oath that he didn’t do squat. NFL wants validation that it was right to go hard after him. Particularly since Goodell stuck it to the Patriots so hard. This again is something that has more value to Brady than the NFL. So what should the general structure of the settlement be? If you look at what the parties agreed view is, and how important different issues are to them, it would seem as though the principled approach would be this mutually agreed structure: 1. No admission of guilt by Tom Brady. (More important to Brady. Ego issue for NFL). 2. No fine. (Like a similar situation in Bountygate) or some fine but only as a way to make suit go away but no guilt admission. (The least important thing to Brady but easier for me to give away someone else’s money). 3. No suspension. (More important to Brady. Ego issue for NFL) 4. No use of anything in this dispute as evidence in future disputes. (More important to NFL). 5. Some blah blah about NFL and NFLPA working together to educate players about whatever rule blah blah. (Important to both. The NFL does a better job when it chooses to inform v. punish). Hey, why shouldn’t they reduce it to 1 or 2 games? Yes, 4 games suspension is worse than a 1 game suspension or a 2 game suspension. But the original 4 game suspension was just some big made up number out of thin air. No player has ever been suspended for this kinda ish. And Tom Brady isn’t going to want to be the first one. And he does have very good, viable claims he can make to the judge if settlement doesn’t occur. It is really hard to justify out loud why 4 games is the right amount and do it in a principled way. The legal pressure the NFL is putting on Brady is that arbitration hearings are hard to overturn. This is true. But at some point, settlement is not so much about the past, but what is in their current interests. And most of the interests of keeping the suspension at 4 are ego ones and not game improvement ones. Brady can say, “I know I have legal risk but I am not settling because I didn’t do anything. Or I am settling for a fine to make this go away but no admission of guilt.” The NFL can say, “I know I have legal risk but I am not settling because of um I need to Make This Right™…um er integritude… the doctrine of cheater cheater pumpkin eater??!?” Sometimes trying to settle things is really weird. Can Brady/Patriots file a this, that, or the other thing additional lawsuit because of reputational damage? Anyone can file a lawsuit. In this context, likely a loser. There’s really no point talking about this any because the judge at this point is signally the parties to chill, work hard at settling. More lawsuits are not chill. But if I hate the Patriots, and I think they are big cheaters, why should I be okay with no suspension and no guilt finding? Because this could easily happen to the players on your team. Various -gate players probably had no idea what they were doing (or not doing) was a Goodell-hammerable offense. This is explained well by Paul Tagliabue in his order vacating the Bountygate punishments. “In this context, confronted with the events here [Bounty allegations and obstruction], Commissioner Goodell correctly set out aggressively to address them. But when an effort to change a culture rests heavily on prohibitions, and discipline and sanctions that are seen as selective, ad hoc or inconsistent, then people in all industries are prone to react negatively — whether they be construction workers, police officers or football players. They will push back and challenge the discipline as unwarranted. As reflected in the record in the present appeals, they will deny, hide behind a code of silence, destroy evidence and obstruct. In other words, rightly or wrongly, a sharp change in sanctions or discipline can often be seen as arbitrary and as an impediment rather than an instrument of change.” Bountygate was similar to this one in that Goodell tried to do various suspensions of players of various lengths without really any principled reasoning as far as pretty much anyone could figure out. (As an aside, I’m pretty sure the players did not agree with the entirety of the Tagliabue factual record, but they agreed with the result.) But re-read that quote from Tagliabue. He was warning Goodell. Different controversies will keep happening because Goodell’s punishments are very reactive and unnecessarily confrontational. They beg for legal problems. That’s no way to run a business. __________________ Have any additional questions, comments? Put them below.

Des Moines Register: "Something Smells In the Democratic Party" Regarding Iowa Results They're suggesting, in so many words, that the Democratic Party has cooked the results to give a fake "win" to their Anointed Goat. They say the want all the data, all the votes, all the records of the coin flips -- full "transparency." They say the want all the data, all the votes, all the records of the coin flips -- full "transparency." Once again the world is laughing at Iowa. Late-night comedians and social media mavens are having a field day with jokes about missing caucusgoers and coin flips. That�s fine. We can take ribbing over our quirky process. But what we can't stomach is even the whiff of impropriety or error. What happened Monday night at the Democratic caucuses was a debacle, period. Democracy, particularly at the local party level, can be slow, messy and obscure. But the refusal to undergo scrutiny or allow for an appeal reeks of autocracy. The Iowa Democratic Party must act quickly to assure the accuracy of the caucus results, beyond a shadow of a doubt. First of all, the results were too close not to do a complete audit of results. Two-tenths of 1 percent separated Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton. A caucus should not be confused with an election, but it�s worth noting that much larger margins trigger automatic recounts in other states. The Sanders campaign is already attempting their own review, matching their notes of caucus votes against the officially claimed results. When asked to participate in this, the Democrat Party said, "Nope." The Sanders campaign is already attempting their own review, matching their notes of caucus votes against the officially claimed results. When asked to participate in this, the Democrat Party said, Dr. Andy McGuire, chairwoman of the Iowa Democratic Party, dug in her heels and said no.

NewsCulture of Life Note: An extensive interview with Joseph Sciambra is included below the story. NAPA, California, October 2, 2013 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Joseph Sciambra, 44, will be the first to tell you of his large-hearted and abiding love for gays. He will also be the first to tell you that despite its feel-good name, genuine happiness cannot be found in the “gay” lifestyle. The former gay porn actor has described his own journey into the darkest core of the gay underworld in the Castro District of San Francisco in the early 90’s as like being “Swallowed by Satan” – the title of his new book, in which he recounts his experiences. Joseph, who left the gay scene thirteen years ago after a dramatic reconversion to the Catholic faith, says his quest for love and acceptance through sex began with pornography. At the age of eight, he one day naively flipped through a porn magazine left out by an older brother. This was followed by more graphic porn magazines. Then came masturbation and the urge to act out with others what he saw in the magazines. Joseph says that what he craved to experience was a deep and satisfying sexual nirvana. He grasped for this by expanding his sexual escapades. New sexual experiences with new partners was the only stimuli that seemed to offer him the excitement, what he called the “happy-place,” that he was so desperately seeking. Brothels and prostitutes became part of his sexual routine. Becoming bored with female porn, Joseph moved onto gay porn. Then he realized that he must be with gay men if he was to gratify his ever-increasing sexual desires. Older gay men initiated 19-year-old Joseph through gay sex into the Castro gay scene. He began visiting bathhouses and adult video arcades for anonymous gay sex. In his quest for love and companionship Joseph immersed himself deeper into the gay scene. What he sought after so desperately constantly eluded him. So-called “glory-hole booths” (a place for anonymous oral sex) offered the next form of excitement. It was at one such place that Joseph says he delivered himself sexually over to Satan, who presented himself in the form of a gaping mouth with a foot-long forked tongue. From that point forward Joseph began hearing voices inside his head. Seeking new stimulant, Joseph became an amateur porn actor and escort. Joseph finally found himself traveling down into the darkened dungeons of sadomasochism. Here he inflicted and received sexualized pain and torture. This included horrendous practices too graphic to describe here. Most of this was filmed for the gay porn industry. Sexual nirvana for Joseph could now only be obtained along with violence, subjugation, and aggression. Now in his late twenties, Joseph says that all he experienced inside himself was hate: hate for other men, hate for his life, and hate for the world. By now he had experienced sex with as many as 1000 men. He embraced everything that was sexually gruesome and hideous. One diabolical orgy was so violent that it put Joseph into the hospital. There he had an experience of death and of his soul descending into an open and salivating mouth, which he says he knew was hell. But Joseph’s Catholic mother was at his bedside, praying earnestly. Fear seized Joseph’s heart. He did not want to enter the eternal mouth that had opened up to receive him because of his life of choosing sin. He says he begged for God’s help and deliverance. At that moment he felt himself being brought back into his body. Joseph went on to rediscover his Catholic faith that he had forsaken in his childhood. He experienced forgiveness from God for his years of sexual sin in the sacrament of confession. Demons were cast from him in an exorcism performed by a Catholic priest. He says he found strength to continue his faith journey by frequently receiving the Eucharist at Mass, and found help and consolation from Mary, the mother of God. Joseph admits that he still struggles with attraction to other men and with temptations to masturbate, but he says he has come to know that the love, acceptance, and peace he so ardently sought in sex with other men, Jesus now gives to him in abundance through a spiritual life. For Joseph, same-sex attraction is a cross that God has asked certain people to bear for the redemption of the world. Now running a Catholic religious shop in Napa, California, Joseph says that there is genuine joy in carrying the cross. By uniting his sufferings with those of the suffering Jesus, Joseph believes he is helping to save his gay friends from a devilish fate he barely escaped. According to Joseph, many gay men have come to him, telling him of their unhappiness and their own similar experiences in the gay lifestyle. Joseph says he will speak first of his love for them. Then he will speak of how his encounter with and acceptance of God’s love saved him from being “swallowed by Satan.” He will tell them that gay sexual ecstasy is momentary and delusional, but God’s love is enduring, satisfying, and as real as it gets. LifeSiteNews.com interview with Joseph Sciambra Joseph shared with LifeSiteNews.com (LSN) his experience in the gay lifestyle as it relates to today’s hot-button topics on homosexuality. LSN: In your book “Swallowed by Satan,” Playboy was your gateway to hell; pornography led you to homosexuality. What are your thoughts on the logic behind this progression? Joseph Sciambra: Children, especially boys, are naturally curious about the opposite sex and sex in general. Before I even saw a pornographic magazine, I had already been introduced to the idea of female sexuality through such popular shows of the time, including “Charlie’s Angels” and “Three’s Company.” When I had the opportunity to see naked women in a Playboy or Penthouse, of course, I took it. After all, many of my friends’ fathers collected Playboys, as did my older brother; so it was seen as a sort of male passage rite; looking at porn somehow made you a man. After that first introduction to porn, you are hooked. Then begins a desire for more pornography and variant forms of porn; i.e. different female models, more explicit material, then the inability to become excited by soft-core forms of porn. It’s a cycle of addiction that often mirrors drug and alcohol abuse. When this exposure to porn happens in childhood, the entire structure of desire within the mind becomes reliant on a constant flow of visual stimulus. Later on, in adulthood, the idea of being with just one woman often leaves the porn addict feeling underwhelmed. LSN: Your experience with homosexuality is absolutely terrifying, especially when you relate the kind of sexual acts that were forced upon you and that you forced upon others. What you related of your experience seems quite alien from anything having to do with the political push for gay “marriage”. From your experience on the gay scene for ten years in the 90’s, what do you think is really behind the push for gay “marriage”? Sciambra: At its core, I believe the push for gay marriage is a political ruse foisted upon the gay community by the Democrats and some within the elite liberal gay-lobby movement. Back in the early 1990s, when I was an out and proud gay man, I saw this same thing happen with DADT [Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell policy] in the military. It became a political rallying-cry in which the gay community could lock-step behind; even though this policy affected relatively very few gay men or women. Now, the concept of gay marriage has been successfully fused with that of homosexual equality. This creates a dynamic in which all gays feel obliged to support gay marriage — even if they have no interest in marriage for themselves — because it has to do with homosexual liberation. And, the point of homosexual liberation is to inevitably create some kind of relief within the gay mind, because every gay person, once they have embraced their homosexuality, comes to that end [of having no peace] after much suffering, persecution, and struggle. Going into the lifestyle is an attempt at peace and wholeness. But, it’s a deception. And the peace they long for never happens. LSN: Based on what you relate in your book about homosexual relationships, it seems that mainstream media has presented America with a sanitized version of the gay lifestyle, as can be seen in a movie like "Brokeback Mountain" which glorifies a homosexual relationship between two cowboys. What would you say to awaken people to the reality of what homosexuality is really about? How would you pull the wool away from people’s eyes? Sciambra: Because the mainstream media is collaborating with those in the gay elite, there has been a very skewed and untrue picture of the homosexual lifestyle painted for the American people. At one time, I bought into that as well, although the imagery was very different when I was a child. At that time, The Village People and The Castro in San Francisco were portrayed as one big party. By the time I entered the lifestyle, the mood had changed with the advent of AIDS. I had to watch as beautiful young men from all across the United States, who arrived in San Francisco seeking a safe harbor of acceptance, succumbed to disease. It was heartbreaking. But in the 90’s, things started to return to business as usual: gay pornography became a hot commodity and a new generation of boys were lured to their deaths by promises of pleasure with no risk. With my book, my intention was not to simply disgust people or gross them out, but to reveal a very significant side of the gay lifestyle that is rarely investigated. The last serious exploration was probably the much maligned film “Cruising” directed by William Friedkin. But that movie got it right. Because, although, gay men may one day settle down and attempt monogamy, the vast majority, beforehand, had to travel through a wasteland of perversity and promiscuity. Because, every young boy, who just enters the lifestyle, is quickly set upon by a troop of eager older men ready to exploit new recruits. It sets you up for a life of bitterness and disappointment. Some survive and move on, many do not. But, they all reemerge damaged and untrusting. You are very keen and astute to realize that the gay lifestyle has been “sanitized” by the media, and that was precisely what I wanted to fight against [by writing my book]; to show just how ugly, and yes dirty, the gay lifestyle is; but also how ultimately sad and tragic it seems to end for almost everyone involved. I especially wanted to reach modern parents who are so willing to offer their sons up to this horror – to explain what awaits their children, and to also give some dignity to those who fell into the life because of no fault of their own. LSN: Good Christians speaking out against homosexuality are accused of bigotry and homophobia. Such Christians will respond that they are not speaking against persons who identify themselves as gay per se, but against their actions which are harmful to everyone involved. Many Christians are simply motivated by love of neighbour to speak this way. (But of course, unfortunately, some are not.) As someone who has descended to the very depths of the homosexual lifestyle, what message do you think Christians should give to homosexuals that would help them the most? How should Christians deliver the message so that it’s effective and so that they avoid coming across as bigots? Sciambra: I have seen many unhappy and searching gay men and women turned off to Christianity because of an over-zealous Christian who showed them condemnation, but no love. As I discovered, when a gay person is contemplating leaving the lifestyle, they often just want a disinterested friend; i.e. someone that doesn’t want or demand something from them. This may be a matter of just listening, not really offering a lot of catechesis or dogma, but simply letting them know that you care. Once a relationship is established, you have to decide when and how the Truth of Jesus Christ’s plan for each one of us is to be delivered. Again, one must always remember that these are deeply wounded and suffering people: they need your sympathy, compassion, and prayers. LSN: You encountered the darkness of spiritual evil during your sexual downward spiral. Is there any connection between the homosexual movement and the spiritual forces of evil? Sciambra: I believe there is a connection between the homosexual movement and the forces of evil because the gay lifestyle is essentially a lie and a tool of deception. Those that advocate for it – promise much, but rarely deliver. Now, one of the main recruiting devices is porn. It gives a completely false view of gay relationships and gay sex. In porn, everyone is beautiful, happy and healthy. Its themes, often emphasizing supreme masculinity and sexualized father-son relationships aims at the very woundedness that sits at the center of every gay man’s malformed sense of masculinity. Porn preys upon their desires for healing. What you get, is a quick fix. That, later on, leaves you more damaged than before. I know heaven wept when I had to see so many young men buried because of disease and suicide. It was a waste. And, that was evil. LSN: There is a movement to crush those who offer therapy to persons struggling with unwanted same-sex attraction. What are your thoughts as to why there is such opposition to this kind of therapy? Sciambra: There is opposition to gay-reparative therapy because [born-this-way gay advocates] know deep-down that it works. Very good reparative therapy excavates the root causes which brought forth homosexual desires in the person. For the most part, these incidents are embedded in early-childhood traumas. When a therapist is able to dig down and reveal these traumas, they no longer have the same power over the person that they once did. At that point, relationships can be mended and new healthy friendships can be fostered. LSN: Porn led you down a slippery slope. What advice do you have to offer to someone struggling with pornography addiction? Sciambra: The advice I would give to someone struggling with pornography is that healing is possible, but that it takes time, perseverance, and being stout of heart. Most importantly, this is only possible by the Grace of God and our full cooperation in His Love for us. The person must spend much time in prayer, taking part in the Sacraments (daily Mass and weekly Confession) in order to understand why they have this need to view pornography. What empty space is it filling? A great part of this endeavor is having a very good confessor and or spiritual director. And, in this I discourage men from roaming about from confessor to confessor because they are embarrassed that they have become a habitual sinner. When you find a qualified spiritual director, stay with him. You have to start from this place of honesty: with yourself, others, and with God. LSN: Anyone would recoil at the thought of seeing someone go through what you experienced of homosexuality as described in your book. What advice do you have to someone struggling with — and tempted to act out on — same-sex attraction? Sciambra: To those struggling with same-sex attraction, I would encourage developing their prayer life; their relationship with God. They need to spend much time in prayer, going to daily Mass, and making a weekly Confession. They also need to have a very good confessor and/or spiritual director. Instead of acting out on those desires, whether that involves sexual activity with another person or by viewing pornography, they need to excavate their feelings and memories, in order to discover why they have these homosexual desires. This is a very difficult and painful process, but it must be accomplished. Here, they must completely strip themselves of their false pride and stand completely unashamed before the Lord. Because, without exception, every gay man and woman that I ever knew, reluctantly at times, could trace their homosexuality back to some childhood experience. LSN: People who see their loved ones being pulled into the gay lifestyle are often unprepared to say or do anything about it. They become silent. What advice do you have to someone who is concerned about someone they love who is toying with the gay lifestyle? Sciambra: When someone is concerned about a person that they know, who may be experimenting with homosexuality, they must first remember that God is Love. He is not shock, horror, or anger. Therefore, the way to approach such a person is not with worry or questions, but with reassurances of Love. Every person who delves into the gay lifestyle is a person who has been hurt. As a result, they can often be guarded, mistrusting, and overly-sensitive. This must be considered at all times. With that in mind, the best outreach is gentle, patient, and understanding. This does not mean to capitulate, on the contrary, you must have an inner strength grounded in the Truth of Christ, but you must also be guided and open to the workings of the Holy Spirit. You must guard against becoming emotional, because the Truth can only be relayed and accepted when it is offered in kindness and understanding. Joseph’s website is available here.

Donald Trump Donald John TrumpHouse committee believes it has evidence Trump requested putting ally in charge of Cohen probe: report Vietnamese airline takes steps to open flights to US on sidelines of Trump-Kim summit Manafort's attorneys say he should get less than 10 years in prison MORE says Donna Brazile should be fired from the Democratic National Committee (DNC) for apparently giving a debate question to Hillary Clinton Hillary Diane Rodham ClintonSanders: 'I fully expect' fair treatment by DNC in 2020 after 'not quite even handed' 2016 primary Sanders: 'Damn right' I'll make the large corporations pay 'fair share of taxes' Former Sanders campaign spokesman: Clinton staff are 'biggest a--holes in American politics' MORE's campaign during the Democratic presidential primary. "I think she just got fired from the network. She should be fired from the DNC," Trump said Monday during a rally in Grand Rapids, Mich. ADVERTISEMENT In an email released Monday by WikiLeaks, Brazile appears to provide the Clinton campaign with a question the day before a CNN primary debate in Flint. Mich. She warned Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta and communications director Jennifer Palmieri, “One of the questions directed to HRC tomorrow is from a woman with a rash." “Her family has lead poison and she will ask what, if anything, will Hillary do as president to help the [people] of Flint,” Brazile wrote in the message, dated March 5, 2016. At the time of the email, Brazile was a contributor to CNN and the vice chairwoman of the DNC. Brazile has been serving as the interim chairwoman of the DNC since Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.) stepped down in July. Trump mused that if he had leaked a debate question, he would get the electric chair. "By the way, could you imagine if I did that?” Trump asked. “Bobby, what would happen to me if i did that? Electric chair, I think," Trump added, referring to former college basketball coach Bobby Knight, who was on hand at the rally. In a statement Monday, CNN said Brazile never had access to “any questions, prep material, attendee list, background information or meetings in advance of a town hall or debate." "We are completely uncomfortable with what we have learned about her interactions with the Clinton campaign while she was a CNN contributor." Brazile resigned from CNN on Oct. 14, according to the network.

MILWAUKEE (The Borowitz Report)—Arguing that the voters have tired of "gotcha questions," the Republican Presidential candidate Ben Carson said that he hoped Tuesday night’s debate would “focus on the real issues facing this country, like finding the lost city of Atlantis.” "The American people don't want to hear personal attacks," Carson told reporters. "They want to know which candidate has the best plan for locating Atlantis and recovering its storied treasures." Carson said that finding Atlantis was central to his plan for reviving the U.S. economy. "We could start paying down the national debt with one jewel-encrusted trident," he said. As part of his continuing campaign against the mainstream media, Carson said that he would resist all attempts by debate moderators to get him to disclose his actual name and occupation.

Updated story - 3:13 p.m.: Herndon Police say a bomb threat at a check cashing store in the 1100 block of Elden Street on Thursday was made by a woman after she attempted to rob the teller. Lt. Jim Moore said the Herndon Police were called to a check cashing store, Cambio de Cheque, at about 11 a.m. A woman had walked into the business and handed the teller a note that she wanted money and had a bomb. When the teller turned around, the woman who made the threat left the store with no money. Moore said she may have gotten scared. However, a package was left in the foyer of the building and the note had said there was a bomb outside as well. Herndon Police evacuated the building and called the Fairfax County Bomb Squad to come help investigate. Technicians used robots to remove the package from the building and inspect it outside. No bomb was found. Police are still searching for the woman. The woman is desribed as Hispanic or Latino with a dark complexion, 35 to 38 years old and she was last seen wearing a purple headband and a red hooded jacket. Police are still on the scene collecting evidence and will be looking at surveillance video. Those with information related to the incident are asked to contact the Herndon Police Department at 703-435-6846. --------------------------- Original story - 2:13 p.m.: Herndon Police evacuated buildings in the 1100 block of Elden Street on Thursday as they investigated a bomb threat.

The Fairfax County Bomb Squad is on scene assisting Herndon Police with the investigation. Patch will update this story as more information becomes available.

If carefree sophistication is the look you're going for the is the one for you. TIP for TEEN GIFT According to our teen daughters the 18 inch gold paperclip is the best. They gift it to all their friends and if they were to add a pendant it would be the initial pendant with or without the round birthstone pendant (picking the color they love most). 🙃 Our chains come with one LINK clasp so you can style endlessly.

Looks great with everything K Kala Haines Very Cute I loved the necklaces, they looks great together and they all mix and match together so well! M MP Love the versatility I love the concept and selection. Everything is classic and timeless but also on trend. I do wish the link was not also the clasp to hook the necklace together. The link that came with my necklace is fairly small so it's a little bit diffcult to remove and add charms and a little difficult to clasp the necklace together while holding charms in place so they don't slip off. I imagine other middle aged and older people whose eyes are not what they used to be may have the same issue. Also a clasp at the back rather than the link being the clasp would allow for easy variation of the length within an inch or two. I placed another order for a larger link to hopefully make it a little easier to clasp thenecklace and to add/remove charms. We're so happy to hear you love your jewelry! Thank you for ordering again! The circular clasp sometimes does take some practice. You'll be a linking expert in no time. Our double-lobster-clasp allows you to close your paperclip chain in the back, so you can use the circular clasp for pendant and charms in the front. You purchased the rosary chain with the double-lobster-clasp. Of course we'd love you to be able to wear your rosary chain and your paperclip chain at the same time, so we'll be sending you another double-lobster-clasp. Happy LINKing!

Landcare: Carbon Farming Intitiative Draft Regulation – opportunty for submissions | Mudgegonga News Mudgegonga News A wide range of news for our community Skip to content Home About Community Quilt Project Fire Brigade Landcare Group Background History of the Land Public Hall ← Landcare: FTLA Newsletter Community Info: Bush to Beach weekend → Landcare: Carbon Farming Intitiative Draft Regulation – opportunty for submissions Posted on September 14, 2011 by Julian Carroll The link below might be of interest in checking where the Carbon Farming Initiative is up to. There is an opportunity til the end of this week to make submissions on the draft Regulation which sets out positive and negative lists of the types of projects which will and wont be allowed to participate. http://www.climatechange.gov.au/government/submissions/draft-regulations-positive-negative-lists-for-cfi.aspx I wont attempt to summarise the list but simply to highlight one on the negative list which is of particular significance to our region. That is tree plantations in areas of greater than 600mm average annual rainfall. The reason for listing such projects is essentially their potential impact on water runoff and there are exceptions (e.g. if the plantation is an environmental planting, has a high security water entitlement or addresses dryland salinity issues). Notably, sequestration of increased carbon in soils is on the positive list although this is likely to have similar impact on water runoff through improved moisture holding capacity. I am also attaching some notes I prepared recently following attendance at Carbon Farming Initiative training in Melbourne. Please dont hesitate to contact me with any questions or discussion.

A Class 11 student on Saturday escaped from the clutches of her kidnappers who allegedly raped her in a farmhouse in Meerut district of Uttar Pradesh for over two weeks. The victim narrated her ordeal to the people residing close to the farmhouse after escaping. They reported the matter to the police and informed her family members in Modinagar. A joint team of Modinagar and Meerut police raided the farmhouse on Saturday night and arrested two people. However, the main accused is still at large. Reportedly, one Rahul and his aides had kidnapped the girl on April 24, when she was returning home after collecting her exam result from school. The girl’s father had lodged a complaint of kidnapping at Modinagar police station, naming Rahul of Kankerkhera locality in Meerut as the accused.Cops had been on his lookout since then but failed to nab him. Rahul and his aides held the girl captive at the Shakya farmhouse in Kankerkhera, and instructed two people to keep a watch on her. Despite the guards, she managed to slip out on Saturday night. Superintendent of police (Meerut city) Alok Priyadarshi said, “Modinagar police are investigating the case and have taken the girl and the arrested men along with them.” The girl will undergo a medical examination after which she will be presented in court to record her statement.

The Republican National Committee chairman denies that a plank regarding parents' control over therapy for their children is an endorsement of the discredited practice. Reince Priebus, chairman of the Republican National Committee, is denying his party is anti-LGBT, claiming its platform doesn't embrace "ex-gay" therapy and saying gay businessman Peter Thiel is welcome in the party. In an interview with the Associated Press leading up to the Republican convention, which opens Monday in Cleveland, Priebus claimed that a controversial plank in the draft platform, to be voted on at the convention, is an endorsement of "ex-gay" or "conversion" therapy, designed to turn LGBT people straight and cisgender. The plank, pushed by Family Research Council president and convention delegate Tony Perkins, reads, "We support the right of parents to determine the proper treatment or therapy, for their minor children." Several states and at least one city have barred licensed therapists from subjecting minors to "ex-gay" therapy, and the plank appears to be aimed at such bans. But Priebus contended the plank is not an endorsement of this type of therapy, which has been condemned by medical groups as ineffective and harmful. Priebus said the party also welcomes Thiel, who is set to speak at the convention. "I can't win this race if I tell people that they're not welcome in our party," he told the AP. "He's been a good help to our party and many candidates across the country. He's a good Republican. He's welcome in our party. Period." That doesn't change the fact, though, that opposition to marriage equality is still "one of the bedrock issues of our party," Priebus said. "We're still a party that believes that marriage is between one man and one woman, but it doesn't mean that we're going to kick people out," he added. The platform calls for reversing marriage equality through either a constitutional amendment or a new Supreme Court decision. It further opposes the Department of Education's recommendation that schools allow transgender students access to the locker rooms, restrooms, and other facilities that align with their gender identity. The platform has been condemned by the Log Cabin Republicans as the most anti-LGBT ever.

Moses Robinson-Carr is the latest recruit to commit to Oregon. Oregon's hot run in June continues Monday as the Ducks landed their eighth overall verbal commitment and their fifth in the month of June. This time, it was three-star tight end Moses Robinson-Carr out of Antelope Valley high school in California. "I am humbled and very appreciative for all of the colleges that has shown interest, recruited me, and most importantly offered me," Robinson-Carr said on Twitter. "I will now be committing to the University of Oregon and shift my concentration toward helping my teammates at Antelope Valley win a state championship." The 6-foot-5 tight end had offers from Tennessee, USC, Colorado State, Fresno State, Oregon State, Texas A&M, and Utah to go along with his offer from the Oregon Ducks.

Gentlemen, today we address skin care…for men. There is a stigma that men don’t need to use facial cleansers or lotions or follow a routine. And that’s just what it is – a stigma. Now with men skin care lines available in your local drugstore, online and even at the mall, there is no reason why men can’t have skin comparable to those of the stars. One of the biggest factors that results in clogged pores is gym time. The bacteria on equipment combined with sweating from physical activity results in a fast-acting formula for “bacne” or body acne. 95% of adults encounter pimples, pustules, blackheads and whiteheads. Of course it wouldn’t remain isolated to your youthful years. The reason? Clogged pores on your chest, back and face. Here is the breakdown of what you SHOULD do: Shower everyday especially after a workout, no matter the rigor. Change out your bed sheets on a weekly basis if possible. Or at least every two weeks. Dead skin cells, oil and sweat remain on your sheets allowing recontamination on your skin. This applies to your pillowcases too. Sanitize before you begin your sets. Use the sanitation wipes usually available at public gyms to prevent outbreaks. Be timely. If you notice that you are starting to breakout, treat the acne immediately. There are spot treatments available, body washes with salicylic acid, treatment creams and more As for what you should do in the restroom, it’s simple. Use a cleanser twice a day to wash your face. A mild cleanser is suggested even if you are prone to breakouts. You want to avoid any products that will overdry your skin. Moisturize. This rule isn’t just for women. Unless you’re a fan of dry, flaky skin, you will want to implement a moisturizer in your daily routine. For those of you that battle with razor burn and ingrown hairs (which can resemble pimples), try using a pre-shave oil. It will keep your skin moisturized and supple for shaving. If you are switching the direction you will shave in, reapply the pre-shave oil. ingrown hairs pre-shave oil. Try getting a facial. We are serious. Cleaning out your pores and relaxing at the same time will do great things for your skin health and mental/physical relaxation. Though we emphasized face and body acne, the above suggestions for skin care on your face and body will help maintain optimal skin health overall, not just a clear face. So men, share. Is there something you do every morning and/or every night for your skin and body? We want to know! Stay tuned for more posts in honor of Men’s Week at TheBeautyPlace.com!

Canada intends to make “a substantial investment” in its military because it can no longer rely on the United States for leadership in the face of threats posed by terrorist groups or countries like Russia and North Korea, the Canadian foreign minister said Tuesday. Echoing complaints made recently by German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Chrystia Freeland told Canada’s House of Commons that Washington is no longer committed to its position of world leadership, forcing Canada to invest in its own armed forces to defend liberal democracy. “The fact that our friend and ally has come to question the very worth of its mantle of global leadership, puts into sharper focus the need for the rest of us to set our own clear and sovereign course,” Freeland said, never mentioning President Trump by name. But she said many of the voters in last November’s U.S. presidential election cast ballots “animated in part by a desire to shrug off the burden of world leadership.” While setting out several areas where Canada has taken a different tack from Washington, Freeland conceded that Canada has not been pulling its weight in terms of its military spending. It’s a criticism that Trump has made of several NATO members, without singling out Canada. She promised that in the future Canada will do its “fair share.” In 2016, Canada spent just over 1 percent of its gross domestic product on its military, half of the 2 percent level that is the goal of the NATO alliance. In fact, Canada ranks 20th of 28 NATO members in military spending. The United States is No. 1 at 3.6 percent of GDP. (Reuters) “On the military front, Canada’s geography has meant that we have always been able to count on American self-interest to provide a protective umbrella beneath which we have found indirect shelter,” Freeland said. But she added that to depend totally on U.S. protection would make Canada a “client state.” “To put it plainly, Canadian diplomacy and development sometimes require the backing of hard power,” she said. “We will make the necessary investments in our military, to not only address years of neglect and underfunding, but also to place the Canadian armed forces on a new footing,” she added, without providing any figures. Freeland’s speech is to be followed Wednesday with an announcement of a new defense policy review. Although Freeland was careful to say that Canada was “grateful” for the “outsized role” that the United States has played in the world, there was an undertone of disappointment throughout the speech, something seldom heard recently in Canada-U.S. relations. The tone was in sharp contrast with the effusive mutual admiration evident in March 2016 when Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was hosted by President Barack Obama at a White House state dinner, just months after Trudeau was elected. The Canadian prime minister said at the time that Canada and the United States were “actually closer than friends” and “more like siblings” as the two leaders shared notes on how to broaden trade links and battle climate change, issues on which Ottawa and Washington no longer see eye to eye. Freeland said Tuesday that Canada remains “deeply disappointed” by the Trump administration’s recent decision to withdraw from the Paris agreement on climate change. Freeland noted that Canada will continue to back multilateral institutions like the United Nations and the World Trade Organization and would seek new trade agreements as well as a modernization of the North American Free Trade Agreement with the United States and Mexico. Laura Dawson, director of the Canada Institute at Washington’s Woodrow Wilson Center, said she saw the speech as less a “shot against the U.S.” as an effort by Canada to reassert its voice on the international stage while continuing to be seen as a helpful ally to Washington. She said she expects Trudeau’s government to invest significantly in new military equipment and boost defense spending but says the nation will probably not attain the 2 percent GDP threshold set by NATO. “I would be quite surprised to see a doubling of Canadian military spending,” she said. Despite the widespread public backing for Canada’s military intervention in Afghanistan, which ended several years ago, defense spending has seldom been a priority for Canadian governments, no matter their political stripe. At the same time, several large procurement programs for fighter jets and warships have been plagued by cost overruns and delays.

The only major demographic in the country that doesn't? People who don't know about it. Here at The Atlantic yesterday, Christine Fair, Karl Kaltenthaler, and William J. Miller argued a claim I'd never encountered about the CIA's drone campaign in Pakistan: "Yes, drone strikes are not very popular among a large section of Pakistani society," they admit. "But Pakistanis are not united in opposition to drone strikes. In fact, many Pakistanis support the drone strikes. This suggests that there is room for the United States to engage in a public diplomacy campaign to win over more Pakistanis to the idea that drone strikes are not the bringers of carnage that is so often portrayed in the Urdu-language media in Pakistan if the United States could be persuaded to bring this worst-kept secret out of the closet and into embassy briefings." At first, I was skeptical. Humans are typically averse to foreign spy agencies killing their countrymen. Could public diplomacy really rally Pakistanis in favor of drone strikes on their own soil? Could it really disabuse them of the notion that drones bring carnage, given that they do? Then I read the rest of the piece.

NEWARK, N.J. -- Facing the prospect of missing the playoffs for the first time since 1997, the New Jersey Devils fired rookie coach John MacLean on Thursday and brought back the firm hand of Jacques Lemaire to try to salvage the season. The Devils have been one of the most disappointing teams in the NHL this season. New Jersey is tied with the New York Islanders for the fewest points in the league with 20 in 33 games (9-22-2). Their 59 goals also are the fewest. The 65-year-old Lemaire is expected to coach the team Thursday night against the Islanders. "It's a decision that certainly is not one that's pleasant or we feel good about," Devils president and general manager Lou Lamoriello said. "But it's a decision that, in my opinion, had to be made." Lamoriello made the decision two days after the Devils dropped a 5-1 decision to Washington for their third straight loss and eighth in nine games this month. The Devils have been outscored 15-3 in the past three games. "I take responsibility for waiting and trying to get it to where it should have been," Lamoriello said. "Under no set of circumstances should all of this responsibility be placed on [MacLean]. The responsibility lies on the players and myself for what couldn't be done. Unfortunately, we just weren't getting it done." A perennial contender in the Eastern Conference, the Devils were expected to be among the leaders again this season after re-signing All-Star forward Ilya Kovalchuk to a 15-year, $100 million contract in the offseason.

Sup! Welcome to my second match against Miracles in the February Legacy Challenge! This one takes a little longer, but I think it’s full of very valuable information about how games against Miracles tend to go. If you’re only gonna watch one of these games, definitely go ahead and watch game three, by far my favourite game of the tournament. Enjoy! Sideboarding vs. Miracles: -2 Hooting Mandrils -2 Dismember -4 Lightning Bolt -1 Life from the Loam +3 Winter Orb +1 Flusterstorm +3 Pyroblast +1 Spell Pierce +1 Surgical Extraction Notably, I’m bringing Sudden Demise instead of Surgical for game two this round, but the boarding plan above is better. As you will see, Sudden Demise is just rotting in my hand, whereas Surgical actually does things. Full Tournament Playlist Thanks for watching! J Advertisements

Get Some Acarajé from Sabor de Bahia Catering. What is acarajé? Street Gourmet LA called it "Brazilian falafel". Acarajé is deep fried fritters made from peeled black eyed peas, fried in dendê oil - the reddish palm oil stemming from Africa. Acarajé is typically found in Nigeria and in the state of Bahia in Brazil (think Salvador), where the African culture is strong. During our meal at Rio Brazil Cafe (review coming as soon as my Photobucket account is back up and running), Bill brought a special treat of acaraje from a mom-n-pop catering service called Sabor de Bahia. The acarajé is served with vatapá - a creamy paste made with shrimp, coconut milk, and more - tomato salad, and pimenta (melagueta pepper sauce). Here's how you eat it: Split the acarajé in two with a knife. Fill it with vatapá and tomato salad. Dash some pimenta to taste. There are so many bold flavors going on here but they all worked together so well. I can see why this is a staple street food in Bahia. The fritters are wonderfully moist inside but fried crispy, the vatapá is fragrant and flavorful. The tomato salad cuts all the grease and richness. The pimenta? I don't normally eat spicy but I couldn't do without the pimenta, it just completes everything. If you've never tried acarajé, you really need to.

The succulent lobster pieces were swimming in the buttery broth. Since the dish turned out to be pretty easy to make, Executive chef Brian Redzikowski has graciously shared his recipe for this Maine Lobster dish! The only thing to keep in mind is that it does take time to make preserved lemon (preserve for 6 months, see bottom of post).

With lush greenery and a live jazz band, Noir is promising to be one of the outdoor destination spots in Pasadena. An extensive wine list and a kitchen manned by Chef Claud Beltran, former executive chef of Madeleine's in Pasadena, certainly doesn't hurt either. Latin American influence has obviously found its way into Chef Beltran's menu with snacks like the Fried Cotija Cheese with chimichurri sauce ($8), which were a little too salty but very flavorful and addicting nonetheless. Dishes incorporating chayote sauce and specials with huitlacoche were also on the menu. The risotto with calamari that was on the special that night didn't fare so well. The combination fell on the bland side and the risotto made the fried calamari soggy faster. Grilled calamari or a more flavorful accompaniment would have been better. The rest of the meal was solid, from the lighter fares including the Fresh Burrata & Shaved Bosc Pears with walnut vinegarette & parsley coulis ($12) and the Heirloom Beet Salad with chives, roasted garlic vinaigrette & parmesan mousse ($7). The fresh burrata and pear slices make for a nice and light appetizer. The heirloom beets had a subtler flavor that I am used to but were refreshing with a lovely texture. Asian influences are similarly found in their well-prepared seafood and meat dishes. Grilled Australian Lamb Chops with Harissa sauce & wild mushrooms ($15) were quite tender and bone-lickingly flavorful. Seared Scallops with red curried squash purée, caramelized cauliflower & pomegranate seeds ($16) were generously sized fresh and juicy scallops, complemented very well with the spices. Service was a little slow for us who were in a hurry to catch a play, so desserts were boxed up to go. Desserts that night were unremarkable but given the several good dishes we've had that night I, for one, would certainly come back for another try. Pasadena is still lacking in its food scene and Noir's creative, globally infused small plates should spark things up a little. Not to mention the outdoor dining area is quite cozy for the romantics trying to avoid Old Town.

So, here are some cheerful statistics for you: According to RAINN, about 60% of rapes aren’t reported. In those cases, there’s about a 51% chance that the 40% of reported rapes will have an arrest made. There’s an 80% chance of prosecution. And, given various factors including conviction and sentencing, there’s only about a 16.3% chance that someone who commits rape will serve time for that rape. Meaning: If we factor in the rapes that go unreported, only 6% of rapists ever serve time. EVER. Gee, it sounds like making sure that rape accusations are taken seriously, and pursued to the full extent of the law, in all cases, is a pretty important issue, for progressives! Meanwhile, here are some facts: A man has been accused of rape by two separate women. He fled the country in which he was accused. He is fighting extradition, so that he won’t have to go back to that country and face charges — even though there are spectacularly low rates of conviction for accused rapists, he just doesn’t think that he should have to go through the system, for whatever reason. And you know who’s posting bail for him? Fucking progressives. That’s who. Including one man who has, for some years now, served as one of the most prominent and recognizable faces of the American left, filmmaker/rabble-rouser/all-around champion of the Truth and the Little Guy, Michael Moore. He’s put $20,000 hard, cashy dollars on the line, so that Julian Assange, white male left-wing darling, will be able to get out on bail despite posing a substantial and acknowledged flight risk, and despite the fact that he evidently is working to avoid facing the charges of his accusers. And why is that? Well, as per Michael Moore’s lengthy diatribe on the subject, which contains exactly one paragraph about the rape charges, his reasoning is as follows: For those of you who think it’s wrong to support Julian Assange because of the sexual assault allegations he’s being held for, all I ask is that you not be naive about how the government works when it decides to go after its prey. Please — never, ever believe the “official story.” And regardless of Assange’s guilt or innocence (see the strange nature of the allegations here), this man has the right to have bail posted and to defend himself. In other words: Never, ever believe the women who are accusing Assange of rape. Never, ever believe the allegations that he forcibly held a woman down and raped her, never, ever believe that he raped a woman while she was unconscious. “Regardless of his guilt or innocence” — and it’s clear that Moore has chosen to believe in his “innocence,” despite the fact that Assange’s working to avoid being tried for the crime — help him. Don’t believe anything you hear about the charges, don’t believe the official story, despite the fact that Assange’s people have been caught lying — it turns out there is no such crime as “sex by surprise” in Sweden as Assange’s lawyer Mark Stephens alleged, it is not worth a fine of $715 because it doesn’t exist, and there is also no Swedish law against having sex with a broken condom; what is against the law in Sweden, it turns out, is rape, which is what Assange has been charged with — and a reasonable person might assume that they are the ones it’s unsafe to believe. Don’t believe them. The allegations are “strange.” (They sure did seem that way, when they were being inaccurately reported all over the place, thanks in part to misinformation spread by Assange’s defense.) Believe Michael Moore. Believe Michael Moore when he tells you that giving $20,000 in bail is fair, because WikiLeaks is important, because the government keeps secrets, and for a lot of people, “secrets killed them.” Sorry, but you brought this upon yourself. No one can hide from the truth now. No one can plot the next Big Lie if they know that they might be exposed. Says Michael Moore. But hey, Michael, you know what exposes a Big Lie, a lot of the time? Rape allegations. You know who knows all about big lies? Women who have been raped. Raped, sometimes, by powerful men within our communities; raped by men who were beloved and supported by those communities; raped by our fellow progressives. And we didn’t report, because we knew no-one would believe us; because we knew we’d be shamed and smeared and lied about and harassed until we agreed to go away and let the Big Lie continue to exist. You want to employ the phrase “secrets killed them?” Women who have been raped know all about how secrets can kill people. And how, often, it’s telling the secret that gets you killed. Ask the women who are pressing these charges — their names have been so widely leaked, in one case by your fellow “progressive” media dudebro, Keith Olbermann, that it is possible to find their home addresses, their personal blogs and social media accounts, and to track their activities and personal lives. I’d imagine that they are very much in fear for their lives, due in large part to people like you, Michael Moore, who are insisting that they should not be believed. And you’re the face of the Left. You have the platform, you have the power, you have the cash and the fame and the name and face recognition: You claim to speak for us. And when you speak, you don’t stand against rape. So, who remembers the climactic scene of Roger and Me? Everybody, right? Poor little guy Michael Moore, standing up against The Man, standing outside the office of The Man, in fact, just because Roger has done something that has immeasurably harmed his community, and he wants to talk to the guy. He wants to hold him accountable. He wants Roger to look him in the face and tell him why he’s hurt all of these people. You know what immeasurably harms the progressive community, though, is rape and rape apologism. Is victim-blaming; is accuser-smearing; is the unwillingness of men in positions of power to consider rape a crucial issue that must be taken seriously. And the person who’s hurting our community, and refusing to take responsibility for that, right now, is Michael Moore. So thank God he’s on Twitter. He is @MMFlint, in fact! And here’s what we’re going to do: We’re going to use the #Mooreandme hashtag to tell him why what he has done and said is wrong. We’re going to talk to the man. We’re going to stand outside his window with a megaphone until he comes down and talks to us. And what we’re going to say — what I hope you’re going to say — is this: We are the progressive community. We are the left wing. We are women and men, we are from every sector of this community, and we believe that every rape accusation must be taken seriously, regardless of the accused rapist’s connections, power, influence, status, fame, or politics. We believe that rape is a crucial and central issue which affects us all, women disproportionately, and we are sick of being told that you should “never, ever believe” us. We believe that accuser-shaming, accuser-harassment, victim-blaming, and the suppression of rape cases all serve one distinct purpose, which is: TO MAKE IT EASIER FOR PEOPLE TO RAPE US AND GET AWAY WITH IT. To make us scared to report our rapes, even to the people we know. And we will not stand for it any more. We require — not ask, not prefer, absolutely require — progressive media and public figures to stand against rape in every case. Again, this is not negotiable. This is mandatory. This is a requirement: If you don’t stand against rape, and make that stand a crucial and central part of your platform, we do not accept you either as a real “progressive” or as someone who is in any way qualified for authority or a leadership position. We will not buy your merchandise; we will not support you; we will speak out against you. Because a progressive movement that doesn’t stand against rape isn’t a progressive movement. It’s just The Man, it’s just the oppressor, it’s just oppression, in a baseball hat, holding a camcorder. Please tweet @MMFlint, using the hashtag #Mooreandme, until we have an explanation from Michael Moore, and preferably an apology, and preferably $20,000, donated to an anti-sexual-assault organization of his choice. You told us the little guy had to stand up, Mr. Moore. You told us the authority had to be held accountable for harming communities. You told us that the Big Lies were worth exposing. But you’re promoting the Big Lie, you’re harming our community, and this time around, the little guy is us. We can be loud. We can be persistent. I hope you’re prepared.

Investigators months ago subpoenaed records from officials at the authority and Mr. Christie’s 2013 campaign regarding Jersey City, where Christie administration officials canceled a day’s worth of meetings that had been set up with the city’s new mayor after he told the campaign that he would endorse the governor’s opponent. Those records could be used to establish a pattern of punishing local officials. Investigators have also questioned potential witnesses about efforts by the Christie administration to cover up the political motives behind the lane closings, explaining them as a traffic study. Then there is the question of charges against David Samson, Mr. Christie’s longtime confidant and his handpicked chairman of the Port Authority board, whose law firm is among the most politically connected in the state. (On Tuesday, Mr. Samson announced that he would retire, saying it was “time for new leaders to transition the firm to the future.”) Image David Samson, the chairman of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, resigned in March 2014. Credit Julio Cortez/Associated Press Perhaps the most potent issue is whether Mr. Samson pressured United Airlines, as part of its negotiations regarding service at Newark Liberty International Airport, to reinstate a once-weekly flight to the airport closest to his weekend home in South Carolina. That flight was canceled after Mr. Samson resigned in March 2014; investigators have subpoenaed both the authority and the airline. Prosecutors have also been looking into allegations by the mayor of Hoboken that the Christie administration withheld relief money after Hurricane Sandy, to pressure her to approve a project by a developer represented by Mr. Samson’s firm. If indictments touch only the people Mr. Christie dismissed from his orbit because of the scandal, he is likely to argue that the federal inquiry affirms his version of the events, and that he made the necessary corrections. They would include Bridget Anne Kelly, the deputy chief of staff who sent the “traffic problems” email; and Bill Stepien, the governor’s campaign manager and his pick for chairman of the state’s Republican Party.

Important Facts About Slot Machines - Letstalknevada.com Skip to content Letstalknevada.com Menu Important Facts About Slot Machines Posted on August 29, 2022 by adminnevadda Before you start spinning the reels and winning big, you must understand a few important facts about slot machines. These include the type of games, Random number generators, Payout percentages, and variations. This information will make your experience more enjoyable and will also help you avoid the common mistakes that can turn a fun and relaxing game into a stressful one. Machines with spinning reels Machines with spinning reels are similar to traditional slot machines, but they have different characteristics. In addition to being easier to handle, spinning reels are more likely to produce winning combinations. Some have “open face” reels, which do not cover the fishing line spool. Because of this, they have a higher chance of bringing in a payout. Most machines with spinning reels use rotating mechanical discs to display symbols on a screen. The symbols on the reels are randomly arranged and the player expects to win a prize if the reels match a winning combination. These types of machines also have different features, such as bonus games, which can increase the chance of winning. Random number generators Random number generators for slot machines work by generating a series of random numbers. This process is repeated billions of times a second. The randomness of the number generator does not depend on how many players are playing, or whether the machine is hot or cold. Unlike other casino games, random number generators do not depend on the player’s luck. Random number generators are the brains of slot machines. They create a set of numbers based on the current payout ratio and hit frequency. The random numbers appear on the screen as combinations of different symbols. Payout percentages The payback percentage on slot machines varies greatly from machine to machine and casino to casino. In fact, there is no single formula for slot machine payouts. For example, a machine that has a 95% payback rate will pay out ninety-five percent of your wager, while a machine with a 5% payback rate will only pay out five percent. This makes sense, given the hundreds of possible outcomes from a single spin. Although the payout percentage is a good indicator of whether or not a slot machine will pay out, it doesn’t guarantee success. Slots are a great way to make money for the casino, but they also have their ups and downs. Variations There are several variations of slot games available in the market. These variations are designed to offer players more opportunities to win. They also add more excitement to the gameplay. Players can choose the type of game that matches their budget and bankroll. Nevertheless, some people find these games to be boring and their graphics are not as good as those in other casino games. The classic slot is one of the most popular casino games in the market. The three-reel slot can be found in any land-based or online casino. This version of the game was derived from the mechanical slot machines of the past. As such, it is a good choice for those who are new to online gambling. Besides being easier to play, classic slots can increase the chances of winning. Other varieties of slots include the video slot, which has five reels. The biggest difference between video slots and traditional slots is that there are no levers, instead, players simply need to click a button. Taking a picture of yourself on a slot machine It is not uncommon to see people taking pictures of themselves on a slot machine. This practice is frowned upon by most casinos. The main reason is that it infringes on other people’s privacy. Casinos are keen on ensuring that their guests’ privacy is protected.

We have finally arrived. After three years of anticipation since the last World Youth Day, hundreds of thousands of Catholic young people have descended upon Madrid for the festivities surrounding World Youth Day, which officially starts this evening with an opening Mass in the heart of downtown Madrid. Some have just flown to Spain yesterday or today, whereas many others have been spending time in pilgrimage in Spain or surrounding countries. I arrived with the group of college students I am leading to World Youth Day a week and a half ago to participate in the Jesuit-sponsored program called Magis. After meeting for a few days in Loyola, the home of the founder of the Society of Jesus (or 'the Jesuits'), nearly 3,000 young people from Jesuit universities and parishes from around the world were sent out into 99 different experience groups to participate in various service projects or walking pilgrimages. My particular experience encapsulates many of the joyful possibilities that are part of World Youth Day. For one week, 27 of us coming from the U.S., Spain, and Mauritius lived together and worked with African immigrants who labor in agriculture on the southern coast of Spain, in addition to coming together for daily faith sharing and Mass in at least three languages -- and three very distinct ways of sharing a sign of peace during our liturgy, as many from the U.S. soon learned when others approached them with a hug and kiss on both cheeks after the Americans had first offered a simple handshake. This is the first trip to Europe for many of the students I am accompanying and is certainly the most intimate encounter with people from other countries. While speaking different languages at times hindered communication, boundaries quickly broke down in sharing the common difficulty of trying to fall asleep while sharing a gym floor with snorers who were heard by all people, no matter the native tongue. On a deeper level, many expressed the significance of what it meant to be a part of something much larger than themselves, as was evident in sharing the same faith and holding the same convictions, whether praying to God, Dios, or Dieu. Many of those from the U.S. who spoke only English were humbled by the language abilities of their counterparts from other countries, who commonly could understand their new friends from the U.S. Many of the Spaniards, however, were not prepared for the name Ana, with which they were very familiar, to be pronounced with the heavily nasal-centered Wisconsin accent that these college students from Milwaukee used. Overly accenting the 'Great Lakes A' sound and pinching one's nose became the common form of saying this name throughout our week together. Many expressed their gratitude for having an experience that a very small percentage of people would ever get to enjoy and also expressed their hope for humanity in being able to overcome difference and come together as friends based on their time on the southern coast of Spain.

Tokyo insists it's "absolutely safe" as Fukushima's radiation levels surge The city isn't giving up on its Olympic bid Radiation readings around the water storage tanks at Fukushima have spiked by a fifth to their highest-ever levels, Japan's nuclear regulator said today. But 150 miles away in Tokyo, the city insists its own radiation levels are comparable to London, Paris and New York. Speaking to the International Olympic Committee today, Tokyo's bid chief attempted to assuage concerns about the contaminated water leaking from the disaster site. In a letter sent to the committee a few days back, he wrote: “Life here, for all 35 million residents, is completely normal and safe and we do not foresee any change to that. The city’s air and water are monitored daily and there remains no evidence at all of any issue, as confirmed by the Japanese government.” Advertisement: The Tokyo Metropolitan Institute of Public Health set up an English language website that maps radiation levels across the city and compares them to other cities: The levels most recently recorded at Fukushima are as high as 2,200 millisieverts -- enough, according to Reuters, to kill an unprotected person within hours. They're also about 2 million times greater than those being measured right now in Tokyo. For the record, here's where the damaged reactor is located, north of Japan's capital: It may nonetheless be difficult for people to dissociate Tokyo from the neighboring catastrophe. “The fear over the Japanese nuclear plant: I don’t think they will have time to get over that," a member of the International Olympic Committee told a Spanish newspaper. "It’s clear the people on the IOC have it in mind.” The hosting decision will be made on Sept. 7.

If they can make it there, they can make it anywhere. Zaarath and Christopher Prokop — and their two cats — live in the smallest apartment in the city, a 175-square-foot “microstudio” in Morningside Heights the couple bought three months ago for $150,000. At 14.9 feet long and 10 feet wide, it’s about as narrow as a subway car and as claustrophobic as a jail cell. But to the Prokops, it’s a castle. “When you first see it, the first thing you say is, ‘Holy crap, this place is small,’ ” said Zaarath, 37, an accountant for liquor company Remy Martin. “But when I saw it, all I could think of is, I can do something with this. This is perfect for us. We love it.” PHOTOS: See the Prokop’s studio The co-op is on the 16th floor of a doorman building on 110th Street, between Broadway and Amsterdam Avenue. But it’s only accessible by a staircase on the 15th floor. It has two small windows with views of upper Manhattan; hardwood floors; a tiny kitchen with a mini-fridge and hotplate; and a closet-sized bathroom with a shower, sink and toilet. “I’m amazed we can fit two people and two cats in there,” Zaarath said. “But it’s harmonious at this point. I have friends who say they could never live with their husbands in a place this small. It’s a good thing we like each other enough to live there.” The couple wakes up every morning in their queen-size bed, which takes up one-third of the living space. They then walk five feet toward the tiny kitchen, where they pull out their workout clothes, which are folded neatly in two cabinets above the sink. A third cabinet holds several containers of espresso for their only kitchen appliance, a cappuccino maker. They turn off their hotplate, and use the space on the counter as a feeding area for their cats, Esmeralda and Beauregard. “We don’t cook,” Zaarath said, adding that their fridge never has any food in it. “So when you don’t cook, you don’t need plates or pots or pans. So we use that space for our clothes.” Once in their running attire, the two change the cat litter box (stored under the sink) and start their small Rumba vacuum — which operates automatically while they’re out, picking up cat hair. They then jog to their jobs in Midtown, picking up along the way their work clothes, which are “strategically stashed at various dry cleaners.” Just in case the cleaners are closed, both have emergency clothes at their offices. “I have a closet at my office,” Zaarath said. “You don’t want to be standing outside a closed cleaners at 8:45 in your workout pants thinking, ‘Greeeeeat’ . . . It’s a great strategy. You always have fresh things to wear.” The only other furniture in the apartment is a 27-inch flat-screen TV attached to the wall; a brown leather storage bench at the foot of the bed that stores linens but also acts as a sofa; a cat climbing “tree,” and a shelf/wine rack system that holds a radio, cable box, and several bottles and glasses. One of the kitchen cabinets is full of champagne because Zaarath’s job allows them to order cases of it. They don’t have a trash can. The second something needs to be thrown out, they walk to the chute in the hallway. Their bathroom — about 3 by 9 feet — has a small pedestal sink with mirror, and a stand-alone shower. “Every bit of space is utilized,” said Christopher, 35, also an accountant, who beamed as he showed off the apartment. “We really have everything we need.” The Prokops, who met in Texas where they worked, lived in New Jersey before moving to the Big Apple. They started with a 1,600-square-foot apartment in Glen Ridge, then moved to a 900-square-foot place in Jersey City. Once they decided on Manhattan, they wanted to go even smaller. “We used to be kind of frivolous,” said Zaarath, a California native. “I used to collect vintage clothing, for example, and the cost of storing it and moving it was just not economically viable. So when we decided to move to Manhattan, we realized we’re not home that much because of our jobs. We don’t need that much space. We could go smaller. When I saw the ad in the paper, I knew I had to see it. And I knew it was right for us as soon as I saw it.” Real-estate broker Steven Goldschmidt, senior vice president of Warburg Realty, showed the Prokops the apartment, which used to be one of about nine maid’s quarters in the prewar building. “We converted eight of them into four apartments,” Goldschmidt said, with each apartment going for a little less than a half-million dollars. “But we could not configure that one room within any of the floor plans we were looking at without spending oodles of money. So I came up with the idea to just make it the smallest apartment and see how it goes. I know a number of the luxury buildings are selling servants quarters and they’re not this small.” He said he got “a lot of calls” from parents looking to find apartments for their Columbia students or business people looking for a pied-à-terre. “It was not on the market all that long,” he said. “And the Prokops made us a great offer, and that’s it.” The couple will pay off their mortgage in two years, when they plan to remodel some of the apartment, adding a Murphy bed and larger windows. They will then be saddled only with their maintenance fee, which is just over $700 a month. “It’s like having a rent-controlled apartment,” she said. “We’re going to own something in Manhattan in two years. How many people can say that? And we’re very happy doing more with less.” She added that because they save money on their home, they can spend money in “areas that make our lives better,” like restaurants and vacations. The two just got back from Beijing and have been to Japan and other countries. “We get to really experience life and enjoy ourselves,” she said. “We eat out all the time. On the weekends, we’re outside exploring the neighborhood. We’re at Riverside Park all the time. We’re not nesters. This apartment is perfect for someone active. If you want to stay home or entertain, this is just not the apartment for you.” She joked that the tiny apartment gets her out of hosting duties and dissuades long-term guests. “No one ever stays too long,” she said. “It’s too small.” She said Christopher’s parents stayed in the apartment while they were in China, and the two suitcases they brought was too much. “They were sort of fumbling over each other,” Zaarath said. With the holidays coming, the Prokops plan to hang a wreath and put up Christmas bushes — but in the hallway. “Maybe I’ll just get Christmas-tree pajamas and wear them around,” laughed Zaarath. “That’ll be good.” Live in a tiny New York apartment?

We had a human skeleton in our biology class in high school. I remember thinking it was shorter than I expected, but I didn't know how, exactly, it ended up in our classroom. I suppose I assumed grave robbers, which lent a adventurous air to our teacher. But in fact, there are much more legitimate ways for a classroom or other teaching institution to obtain a human skeleton. What if you want to make sure your alma mater, or your best friend, gets your skeleton after you die? There are a few ways you can make sure your skeleton carries on having adventures when you're no longer using it. Take a look at how to donate your skeleton! Advertisement I had a friend, growing up, whose mother had a human skull. They named it Yorick, and for the most part it sat on its shelf minding its own business. Occasionally, though, it peered out at me with eye sockets that I thought were disturbingly bright and cheery. When I asked where she got it, she mentioned a loose association with a medical institution. Where, though, did that medical institution get it? And where did my high school get a whole human skeleton? For that matter, where does one go if one wants to either sit on a shelf or hang in a high school biology closet after death? There are two likely institutions to those who want to donate their skeletons. One is the famous Body Farm, at the University of Tennessee. The facility studies the different conditions under which human bodies decay. By watching bodies disintegrate under specific conditions, they're able to provide data that forensic experts can reference when they find the bodies of murder victims or campers that have died of exposure and have been left in open areas. Once the remains are done decomposing, the skeletons are cleaned and sent the Bass Donated Skeleton Collection. All bodies are assigned an identification number, and though loved ones are banned from the body farm itself, they can visit the remains at the Bass Collection, which is carefully curated. Advertisement Those loved ones have to be informed, though, since the center makes it very clear that they will not go to court to wrangle a body from the next of kin. They will also not accept a body that has HIV, hepatatitus, tuberculosis, or MRSA, unless it is cremated. Their FAQ is worth browsing through, especially since it includes questions like, "I have always wanted to be left out in the woods to decompose naturally. Do you honor any special requests for the placement of my body? Or any kind of special request regarding the use of my body?" The answer is yes, they'll do their best to honor requests, including negative requests like not being buried or left in water. But while that is a way to donate a skeleton, it's no way to actually give your skeleton to a particular institution or a loved one. The other body center, the Laboratory of Human Osteology in New Mexico, is similarly unhelpful. While the Knoxville center is looking, more or less, for average individuals, the Osteology Lab is looking for a wide range of individuals, from many different backgrounds, with different medical conditions. After people sign up (the signing requires two witnesses), forms are sent out yearly, so you can let the center know if they break a bone. Although the institution does loan out remains for nondestructive research projects and does allow family members to see the remains, it doesn't allow donation to private institutions. So where can you go when you really want to donate your skeleton to someone specific? This is where the private sector comes in. Skulls Unlimited is a private cleaning and mounting service for animal skulls, but it has a page with human skulls for sale as well. The website stresses that the skulls are only available to research institutions. They're not cheap, ranging from fifteen hundred to over two thousand dollars. Where did they get theirs? A representative from the company tells io9 that they got theirs from University Labs that didn't need them, or other research facilities. And that source gives a clue as to why these skulls are only available to other research institutions. Advertisement At last, though, we come to a place that allows people to donate their bodies to whomever they choose. When I asked the representative if I could, for example, have my body cleaned by them and then turn it over to an institution of my choosing, she asked calmly, "Your whole body or just the skull?" I told her, well, you know, either. And she said that they did that kind of thing all the time — although she couldn't quote me an exact price, since it would depend on things like dealing with the funeral home, the distance of the body from their facilities, and the hassle of transporting human remains across state lines. Still, it's good to know that one can gift one's skeleton to whoever or whatever one chooses. I just know that if I do it, I'm not going to be as cheerful as Yorick was. Sitting Skeleton: Flickr

Barcelona, October 16, 2017 Dear Prime Minister Rajoy: The situation in which we find ourselves at the moment is of such importance that only answers and political solutions of the highest level will suffice. My letter hopes to reach that level, as it is expected by the majority of our society and expected in Europe, which doesn’t contemplate any other way of resolving conflicts other than dialogue, negotiation and accord. With this in mind, I was surprised by your written text of last October 11 announcing the intention of your government to put into effect Article 155 of the Constitution in order to suspend Catalan self-government. When, on October 10, attending to the request of numerous international, Spanish and Catalan figures and institutions, I presented to you a sincere offer of dialogue, I did not do so as a demonstration of weakness but rather as an honest proposal in order to find a solution to the relationship between the Spanish State and Catalonia, which has been in a state of deadlock for many years. On Sunday October 1, in the middle of violent police action denounced by the most prestigious international organisms, more than two million Catalans entrusted to the Parliament the democratic mandate to declare independence. One must also add to the result of this referendum the result of the most recent elections to the Parliament of Catalonia, where a clear majority of 47.7% voted for independence parties, as against the 39.1% who voted for parties explicitly against independence. It is also necessary to remember that 80% of citizens have repeatedly expressed their intention to decide their future by way of an agreed referendum. Accepting reality is the way to resolve problems. The priority of my government is always to seek solutions by way of dialogue. We want to talk, as well-established democracies do, about a problem placed before us by the majority of the Catalan people, who wish to undertake a journey as an independent country within the framework of Europe. The suspension of the political mandate resulting from the poll of October 1st demonstrates our firm intention to find the solution rather than generate confrontation. We would like to do this by way of agreement both in the objectives sought and in the way we find them. Our proposal of dialogue is sincere and honest. Because of this, over the coming two months our main objective is to appeal to you to dialogue, and that all of those international, Spanish and Catalan figures and institutions who have expressed their disposition to taking part in negotiation may have the opportunity to explore such an option. This will show the commitment of all sides to finding an agreed solution. In light of everything I say, I ask of you two things: The first is to reverse the repression against the people and government of Catalonia. This very Monday, two leaders of Catalan civil society, who have been organising the peaceful demonstrations by millions of demonstrators since the year 2010, are to appear, charged, in court. Also charged is the chief of the Catalan police (Mossos d’Esquadra), one of the most respected police forces in Europe, which faithfully and rigorously fulfills its duty. In this episode of repression, we have also seen, among of things, the violation of fundamental rights; the intervention with and freezing of bank accounts which prevents us from fulfilling our obligations to people who most need them; internet and media censorship; interference in private post; detention of public servants; brutal police violence against a peaceful population on October 1. Our proposal of dialogue is sincere, in spite of all that has occurred, but logically it is not compatible with the current climate of threats and rising tension. The second request is that we organise a meeting, as soon as possible, which will allow us to explore initial agreement. Let’s not allow this situation to deteriorate more. In good faith, recognising and facing the problem head on, I am sure we can find a way towards a solution. Yours sincerely, Carles Puigdemont i Casamajó Premier of the Generalitat of Catalonia

Our Team Our Mission Useful Links What We Do How It Works Resources Blog Market Perspectives Retirement Estate Investment Insurance Tax Money Lifestyle Glossary Tax Resources Seminars Contact Client Login Lifestyle Read Time: 3 min Avoiding Cognitive Decline Of those aged 65 and older, 15 to 20 percent have mild cognitive impairment. People living with mild cognitive impairment are more likely to develop Alzheimers, and almost two-thirds of people currently living with Alzheimers are women.1 There are three basic forms of cognitive decline associated with aging:2 Age-related changes in memory, which are a natural consequence of aging. Mild Cognitive Impairment, which involves mild memory loss such as forgetting important events or appointments, or an inability or difficulty with finding the right word in a conversation. Dementia, which includes Alzheimer’s disease, is a chronic, progressive, irreversible and comprehensive cognitive impairment that may affect daily functioning. There are a range of risk factors that can lead to cognitive decline, including:3 Increased age Genetic predisposition Smoking Excessive use of alcohol Physical and mental inactivity Chronic stress Medical conditions, such as diabetes, depression, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol Low social involvement Strategies to Help Manage Cognitive Decline Intellectual Stimulation Reading, learning a musical instrument, and playing cards or board games are all activities that stimulate the brain and may reduce cognitive decline. Exercise Staying physically active can improve your mood, reduce stress, and help eliminate some of the medical conditions that are risk factors. Low-Fat Diet A nutritious diet, low in fat, may help reduce contributory risks such as high blood pressure, diabetes, and high cholesterol.3 A Sound Night’s Sleep It’s normal for sleeping difficulties to emerge with age, but insufficient sleep can impair memory and learning. Going to bed and waking up at the same time can help. However, if you have a sleep disorder, consider seeking qualified assistance. Stay Social Staying engaged with friends and family stimulates the brain. If you live alone or have limited social ties, look to build up contact with neighbors and social groups. Talk to Your Doctor It’s best not to self-diagnose or treat yourself if you think you are suffering from cognitive impairment. Visit your doctor to explain your symptoms and let him or her assess your condition and recommend the necessary treatment and counseling. 1. Alzheimer's Association, 2020 2.

Stephanie LaMotta | Janet's Good News Good news from a left-wing perspective Home About Featured charities Featured readers Recommended reading Blog posts Petitions Contact Home About Featured charities Featured readers Recommended reading Blog posts Petitions Contact Home » Featured reader » Stephanie LaMotta Stephanie LaMotta Sep 30, 2018 by Janet Maker Stephanie LaMotta is the founder of Death Row Dogs Rescue. Her first rescue was in 1984, and it was a horse. Then she noticed a stray dog hanging around the stable and trying to go home with her, and that became her first dog rescue. After that, stray dogs kept finding her, and Stephanie began contacting friends and placing ads to find foster and adoptive homes. When she saw dogs in dangerous situations, she called Animal Control for help, and that was how she became aware of the number of homeless dogs being euthanized. She started rescuing them from “death row,” and Death Row Dogs Rescue got its name. . For the first 20-plus years, DRDR was entirely self-financed. Stephanie is the daughter of boxer Jake LaMotta, and she earned a comfortable living teaching boxing. After basic living expenses, all her income went to saving animals. In addition to dogs, Stephanie has rescued cats, fish, birds, pigs, horses, goats, sheep, and chickens. To date, she has rescued about 3000 animals. In approximately 2009, DRDR became a 501(c)(3) charity, so the organization could accept donations. Stephanie made contact with animal rescue organizations and participated in adoption events for many years. However, she has multiple sclerosis, and as her disease progressed and she became confined to a wheelchair, she could no longer attend. DRDR depends on people willing to foster or adopt. When they run out of foster homes, they have to rely on boarding kennels, which are expensive and not ideal for the animals.

Serotonin Deficiency - Symptoms, Test, Treatment, Effects, Causes Skip to content HealthJunta.com – We are Junta of Health & Medical Home Diseases & Conditions Medical Contact Us Sitemap Serotonin Deficiency November 1, 2017 admin Diseases & Conditions What is Serotonin Deficiency? Contents What is Serotonin Deficiency? Benefits of Serotonin Causes of Serotonin Deficiency Effects of Serotonin Deficiency It blocks digestive system It affects blood flow It lowers the ability of blood to clot It may cause constipation How To Increase Serotonin Levels? Medications Nutrient therapies Diet Exercise Get enough sunlight Serotonin is a chemical substance found in the brain which conveys signals between brain cells or neurons as well as controlling their power. Serotonin is produced in your brain and intestines and it assists in keeping good moods1. Insufficient serotonin levels leads to a condition known as serotonin deficiency. Low levels of serotonin impair your body’s psychological and physiological functions. Benefits of Serotonin Serotonin offers tremendous health benefits to you such as2, 5: It promotes the health of your heart: Serotonin assists in lowering heart complications such as heart attack and stroke. It helps in brain development: Serotonin supports your brain cells to mature properly. It boosts the health of your skin: Serotonin helps reduce depression, anxiety and makes you relax. By minimizing factors that contributes to unhealthy skin, serotonin makes your skin glow thus enhancing its health. It provides relief from headaches and migraines. It enhances your moods and help lower anxiety and depression. Causes of Serotonin Deficiency Low serotonin deficiency can be caused by many factors such as3, 4: Stress: Leading a stressful life can decrease serotonin levels in your body. Poor diet: Proteins are used to make neurotransmitters in your body. Minerals and vitamins are also needed in this process. Eating a diet without sufficient vitamins, minerals and proteins affect the making of neurotransmitters in your body. For instance, Vitamin B 6 is used to manufacture serotonin from tryptophan. Low levels of Vitamin B 6 affect the synthesis of serotonin leading to a drop in its level. Similarly, tryptophan is an amino acid that makes serotonin. It is obtained from foods such as poultry, meat and nuts. Eating foods with low levels of tryptophan affect the synthesis of serotonin. This lowers the level of serotonin, a type of neurotransmitter in your body leading to serotonin deficiency. In addition, a diet low in carbohydrates but rich in proteins affect production of serotonin. This kind of diet lowers tryptophan and other amino acids in the body which causes a decrease in serotonin levels. Toxic substances: Harmful substances can decrease serotonin levels in your body. Toxic substances such as mercury, lead and chemicals like pesticide can destroy nerve cells that produce serotonin in your body. This leads to a drop in the serotonin produced in the body. Drugs: Certain drugs can lower serotonin level in your body. For instance, nicotine, alcohol, caffeine, antidepressants and certain drugs that lower cholesterol can reduce the level of serotonin in your body. Hormonal changes: Fluctuations in your hormones has a negative impact on the level of neurotransmitters. These hormonal changes cause the level of serotonin and other neurotransmitters to drop. Effects of Serotonin Deficiency Low serotonin levels in your body can cause many undesirable side effects that may make you lead unproductive life. These effects include1, 5: It blocks digestive system Normally, digestive system muscles contract to move food and liquid along it. Sufficient serotonin enhances gut muscle performance. In case the level of serotonin drops, it lowers the quantity of calcium released from the cells which is needed for strong muscles. This impairs contraction of gut muscles which causes blockage in your digestive system as a result of food not moving properly. It affects blood flow Flow of blood around your body need muscles to contract properly. In case serotonin levels are low in your body, your muscles won’t contract properly as a result flow of blood around the body is disrupted. This can lead to many serious health complications such as cardiovascular problems and stroke. It lowers the ability of blood to clot Serotonin helps in clotting process. Hence, a major drop in serotonin levels impairs the clotting process which can make you bleed a lot from an injury. It may cause constipation Most of serotonin is made and kept in the digestive system. A drop in serotonin levels has a major negative impact on your digestive system function. It makes gut muscles weak to contract which cause constipation as well as make it difficult to pass bowel or stool. Other negative health effects of low serotonin levels include: It causes memory loss; you will not be able to remember or recall things when serotonin levels drops in your body. It causes anxiety and depression It causes severe headaches called migraines. It leads to more aggressive behavior in people. It makes an individual have fear or phobia to socialize. It causes sleeping problems in people. How To Increase Serotonin Levels? There are several ways through which an individual can increase serotonin levels and enhance his/her overall health: They include3, 6: Medications There are certain drugs that can be prescribed to raise the level of serotonin in your body. Serotonin reuptake inhibitors have been used to boost circulation of serotonin in your brain. Examples of Serotonin reuptake inhibitors are Lexapro, Zoloft and Paxil. These drugs should not be used for a long period of time since they can worsen your serotonin deficiency. Nutrient therapies Use of certain nutrient therapies can elevate your level of serotonin in the body. For example, your doctor can suggest use of targeted amino acid therapy to boost your serotonin levels. An example of such therapy is Tryptophan which can be used alone or with other medications. Diet Eat a healthy diet to raise your serotonin levels. Eat food rich in proteins, vitamins and carbohydrates. You can eat brown rice which is rich in carbohydrates. Eat food rich in tryptophan with a healthy carbohydrate diet can improve neurotransmitters level in your body. Avoid foods such as white rice, white bread, cake, cookies, sugar, etc. Also stop caffeine and alcohol because they can worsen your anxiety, sleeping problems and depression. Exercise Regular exercise boosts your energy levels and reduces psychological problems such as depression and anxiety. You can walk, run, stretch or do yoga exercises to keep yourself active. Get enough sunlight Sunlight is vital in alleviating anxiety and depression. Get outside and expose yourself to the sun to obtain Vitamin D. This vitamin is good because it helps lessen depression and improve your moods.

William Gheen, the leader of an anti-illegal immigration group, has received considerable attention after asking Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) to admit he’s gay — an unsubstantiated allegation — before liberals can use it against him. Comedy Central’s Stephen Colbert slammed Gheen Thursday and quipped, “Lindsey Graham, save your good name by releasing a sex tape!” “Nine times out of ten I’m on the side of whoever is calling somebody gay,” Colbert said. “But the person being accused here is a senator from my home state, an I’m not going to let someone slander his good name.” Graham, who has been the target of rumors about his sexuality for years, says he’s not gay. In this case, he was arguably targeting by Gheen because he is one of a few Republican senators willing to negotiate with Democrats for immigration reform. “I hope this secret isn’t being used as leverage over Senator Graham, so today I think Senator Graham, you need to come forward and tell people about your alternative lifestyle and your homosexuality,” Gheen told a Crowd of Tea Partiers in South Carolina last weekend. The remarks went viral after they were posted on YouTube by his group, Americans for Legal Immigration PAC (ALIPAC). At one point, the video was marked with the tags “queer” and “fag.” ALIPAC claimed that their video page had been hacked and the tags were soon removed. “I have to admit, that was very brave of Mr. Gheen. Outing someone usually takes the kind of courage only displayed by male prostitutes paid by tabloid magazines,” quipped Colbert in his “The Word” segment Thursday. Colbert looked to an old “Sex and the City” episode for ways the senator can clear this up permanently. In season six, Kim Catrall’s character is determined to quash rumors that her male model boyfriend is gay, and decides that only by making a sex tape can her man prove he’s straight. “Sir, it will save your career,” Colbert said. “Because any kind of straight sex seems to be okay with the GOP. I mean, just look at Governor Mark Sanford, Senator John Ensign or Senator David Vitter, who is still in office despite being named as a client by the D.C. madam three years ago and dogged by rumors that he allegedly likes prostitutes to dress him up in diapers.” “So just rent the equipment. Hell, rent the girl. Just put it in there and get it out there,” Colbert suggested. At that, Colbert turned his attention to Gheem. “He’s a big opponent of illegal immigration, and the immigration reform bill is the next big piece of legislation in Obama’s pipeline. Now, Gheen knows the Republicans only have 41 seats in the Senate. To block legislation, they have to march in unison. So the real threat is not the fact that Lindsey Graham is gay, which he isn’t, it’s that he’s bi, which he is, bi-partisan,” the comedian said. Gheen has suggested Graham may be getting blackmailed into bipartisanship, but the activist hasn’t targeted other Republican senators — such as Sens. Olympia Snowe (ME), Susan Collins (ME) and Scott Brown (MA) — who have voted with President Obama on initiatives. Even Gheen seems to swing both ways. “I just found out that he worked with the Democratic party in the 1990s. That sounds pretty bipartisan,” Colbert said. Based on that fact, Colbert turned the tables in Gheen. “I’ve got to at least consider the possibility that someone found out he gets off by going to the ballpark on weekends and laying in a trough in the men’s room like a human urinal cake. I have got nothing to back that up. I just need to know that that’s not true,” he concluded. This video is from Comedy Central’s The Colbert Report, broadcast April 22, 2010. Part 1 Part 2

Just after 7pm, Republican veteran and former prisoner Pat Sheehan was declared elected as a member of the Stormont Assembly. He was surrounded by Sinn Féin representatives and supporters. But very unusually for Sinn Féin – a party that is a stickler for protocol – pride of place in the photograph was given to a guy dressed in a crocodile suit. There were many words that could have described that moment. One senior Sinn Féin strategist put it best. “The word is schadenfreude,” he said. For those not following the campaign too closely, the crocodile has become a kind of motif of these Assembly elections. It all stems from an unfortunate slight on Sinn Féin made by DUP leader Arlene Foster in early February. “If you feed a crocodile it will keep coming back for more,” she said. The “crocodile” became a politically-charged “meme” for Sinn Féin in the campaign, and gave rise to a minicraze of activists parading around in green suits featuring predatory teeth and swishy tails. The outcome of these elections, which took place just 10 months after the last, had a clear message: Beware of a crocodile’s bite. This was a huge victory for Sinn Féin. The election might have been fought on a novel platform – an issue over governance and “clean” politics – but it clearly became a battle between the largest of the cold-blooded animals in the electoral swamp. And Sinn Féin almost pipped the DUP, taking 27.9 per cent of the vote to the DUP’s 28.1 per cent. Small gap The Sinn Féin election machine and vote-management was ruthless, ultra-organised and really impressive. There was lots of collateral damage: the upstarts from People Before Profit had a halt put to their gallop; the SDLP went backwards, and the Ulster Unionists also shipped huge damage. The DUP didn’t exactly lose, but it didn’t exactly win either. The only exception was the Alliance, which did exceptionally well, with its best electoral performance in 30 years. But to show how little influence the very real serious issue of “cash for ash” had on the unionist side, the former DUP minister who first blew the whistle on it, Jonathan Bell, got nowhere in Strangford, where he was eliminated early. Another high-profile loser was Alex Attwood. In the echoey cavernous Titanic Exhibition Centre – as the rain just sheeted outside – he sounded rueful if philosophical. In a memorable phrase he said of the election: “In big part it was about bogeymen and who was top dog . . . “Really the primary issue is that two big parties have dug in. And in digging in they have put in jeopardy devolution itself.” His SDLP colleague Nichola Mallon, who fought the campaign while heavily pregnant, was one of the few who bolstered her seat. She argued strongly for a centre ground politics. Mania “Once we have the mania of today over, we will see that many people chose that option.” But most didn’t. The transfer arrangement between the SDLP and the UUP backfired. It did not persuade people to cross the sectarian divide. Instead, many opted for the Alliance, who took votes from both parties. Its leader Naomi Long ran herself into exhaustion with a constant round of interviews. Sinn Féin president Gerry Adams cut a serene figure, and his mood suggested accommodation rather than triumphalism, but not without a sting or two in the tail. “I have talked to the DUP many times,” he told The Irish Times. “They are the same as the rest of us. They are decent enough people. They want good for their kids and so on. “But they lost the run of themselves. You are living now in a totally different atmosphere. They got themselves in a little bubble. That bubble has been punctured by Martin McGuinness and by others. I don’t want to sound preachy. We should be reflective about this. “If you are the DUP, you have to realise that you are only going to get limited chances to deal with this . . . “We are not looking for top dog [status] or looking for any unfair advantage.” But there are winners and there are losers. The DUP will be smarting from its close encounter with the crocodile. As for the UUP, and its unfortunate leader Mike Nesbitt, who announced he is to resign, it didn’t even take such an encounter to fell it. Like the dinosaurs some just go into danger of extinction for no exact reason, other than loss of habitat.

Two men riding a motorcycle attacked a group of 15 girls with an acid-filled water pistol in the southern city of Kandahar, leaving six needing hospital treatment, three of them for serious injuries. A government official said the attackers ripped off the girls' headscarves before the attack and another report said those wearing the full-length burqa to cover themselves had been left untouched. It is not known who carried out the attack but girls were banned from going to school under the Taliban regime between 1996 and 2001. One 16-year-old victim, who gave her name as Atifa, said: "We were on the way to school when two men on motorbikes stopped next to us. "One of them threw acid on my sister's face. I tried to help her and then they threw acid on me too. "We were shouting and people came to see what was going on, then the two men escaped." A government statement condemned the attack as "un-Islamic", adding the attackers "cannot prevent six million children going to school." Hours later, six people were killed and 42 wounded when a fuel tanker carryi exploded outside the office of the provincial council in the city. Wali Karzai, brother of President Hamid Karzai and head of the council, was in the building but was unharmed. Officials said the dead included an intelligence employee, two intelligence guards and three passers-by. Taliban insurgents later claimed responsibility for the bombing.

The 2013 government shutdown was a disaster for the GOP. It began with Republican congressional leaders being humiliated by the Ted Cruz wing of the Republican Party, and ended with Republicans setting a new record for unpopularity in Gallup's polls. This was predictable, and it was predicted. Republican Party leaders knew the shutdown was a stupid idea going in, but, as often happens, they lost control of their conference. But after surviving the shutdown and then being saved by Obamacare's disastrous rollout, they were determined not to repeat their mistake again. "There's no education in the second kick of a mule," Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell told reporters. But sometimes you forget the first kick. In a new interview with Politico, McConnell threatens more shutdown-based tactics if Republicans retake the Senate. Obama "needs to be challenged, and the best way to do that is through the spending process," McConnell says. Specifically, he promises that Republicans will "pass spending bills, and they're going to have a lot of restrictions on the activities of the bureaucracy." The way this might work is that a bill to fund the government will come with a rider that the Environmental Protection Agency back off its efforts to regulate carbon emissions from power plants. If Obama vetoes the bill the government shuts down. Or maybe it comes with a rider that Obama repeal his executive action helping DREAMers. If Obama vetoes the bill the government shuts down. Republican Party leaders knew the shutdown was a stupid idea, but they lost control of their conference Jonathan Bernstein notes that McConnell never actually says the word "shutdown" in the Politico interview. He could intend to stop well before the government actually shuts down. He could simply "force vetoes", and then, after Obama vetoes his spending bills, he could strip out the offending language and pass a version of the bill Obama can accept. But does anyone actually believe that his party's conservative wing will let him do that? McConnell and Boehner don't have the kind of precise control over their party necessary to ensure brinksmanship never ends up pushing them over the brink. Perhaps McConnell does intend to score symbolic points and then back down in the face of presidential vetoes. But does Sen. Ted Cruz? Does Rep. Steve King? Does Fox News? (In a telling moment, the Politico article quotes Cruz waffling over whether McConnell is fit to be Senate Majority Leader.) There are two reasons to think that it will be even harder for Majority Leader McConnell to back down than it was for Minority Leader McConnell. The first is simply that the majority is a more powerful position. Senate Republicans currently have the excuse that they're in the minority and can't force Obama to do anything. But once they win the majority they'll have to prove they're good for something. If conservatives don't want to hear that a Republican Senate minority can't win its confrontations with Obama, they surely don't want to hear that a Republican Senate majority can't win its confrontations with Obama. Compounding that problem, McConnell's Senate will be particularly scared to cross the conservative base. The 2016 election will put the Republican wave of 2010 in the crosshairs. As of now, it looks like 24 Republican-held Senate seats will be up for reelection in 2016. That means 24 possible Republican primaries. That means at least 24 Senate Republicans who won't want to back down before Obama's vetoes. And this is coming after a cycle in which House Majority Leader Eric Cantor lost a primary challenge. No Senate Republican will feel safe being seen as a sell-out. So McConnell intends to unleash a tactic that will almost inevitably end with shutdowns — whether he wants them or not. This might make sense if Barack Obama were running for reelection in 2016: the shutdown hurt his popularity, too, and perhaps it would make sense for congressional Republicans to mount a kamikaze mission against his third term. McConnell intends to unleash a tactic that will almost inevitably end with shutdowns But Obama isn't up for reelection in 2016. These shutdowns will be a disaster for the Republican Party that will help elect Hillary Clinton — and help Harry Reid retake the Senate. Republicans will end up backing controversial positions with wildly unpopular tactics and the Democrats will take full advantage when they face the friendlier presidential electorate. For that reason, winning the Senate in 2014 will be a double-edged sword for Republicans. All else equal, it's of course better to hold more seats than fewer. But all else isn't equal. The internal pressures of the Republican Party are such that if Republicans win the Senate in 2014 they'll probably chart a course that makes it likelier they'll lose both the Senate and the White House in 2016.

Things had also grown tense in Elizabeth's marriage to Philip (Matt Smith), while the 1955 resignation of Winston Churchill signaled the beginning of a tumultuous period in British politics. So what's coming in Season 2? Here's everything we know so far. 1) Season 2 will cover another decade. Much like the first season, Season 2 will cover roughly 10 years, and will pick up soon after the finale left off. That suggests it'll go from roughly 1955 to 1964. Given how lit London was during the swinging '60s, this is exciting news on several fronts, though there's still no confirmation on whether The Beatles—of whom the teenage Prince Charles was a huge fan—will be making an appearance. More From ELLE "In this new world of the 1960s with sex and drugs and rock 'n’ roll...that’s not what you really associate with 'the royal family,'" Foy told The Hollywood Reporter. 2) Philip and his backstory will be front and center. Throughout Season 1, Philip was a relatively undeveloped character, serving mostly as a foil to Elizabeth as she grappled with her new responsibilities. This season, though, he's central—as is his relationship to a young Prince Charles. "We meet [Prince Philip] when he's young and we learn about his history," Smith told THR. "I think it’s actually really tragic what he went through as a child and I think that will shock some people. It wasn’t easy, he didn’t have an easy life.” Netflix 3) Things will get worse for Philip and Elizabeth before they get better. Last season saw Philip struggling to accept his wife's new role on the throne—and specifically his own subservience as a result—while media attention put even more strain on the couple's marriage. "The rumors haven't gone away," Elizabeth says in the Season 2 trailer, presumably in reference to the whispers about Philip's infidelities which did, indeed, abound for years in the British press. "This is a story of a marriage very much in the second series, and how they navigate that," Foy told THR. "They've been together for ten years, they've had two children and it's about assessing the situation. It's not going to be a rose-tinted view of marriage." Smith warned Variety, "It gets a bit hairier," in the coming season, while Foy added “In Season 2, there are scenes I would never want to relive." Eek. Of Elizabeth, Foy told Entertainment Weekly "she starts to realize she needs to pay more attention to her personal life. She just keeps having to go from one crisis to another to another, and at some point, it’s about five crises at the same time and you have no idea how she manages to get up in the morning." Judging from the first photographs released from Season 2, which show the couple sharing a quiet, tender moment while Elizabeth is pregnant with her third child, Prince Andrew, the tension doesn't last all season. (For timeline reference, Andrew was born in 1960.) Netflix 4) 10 Downing Street is going to need a revolving door. A lot of prime ministers came and went during this ten-year period. Anthony Eden (Jeremy Northam) took over from Churchill in the Season 1 finale, and while those were always going to be big shoes to fill, Eden's tenure would end up being a lot shorter and more unceremonious than anyone predicted. Showrunner Peter Morgan confirmed Season 2 picks up with the Suez Crisis, which was the final straw in Eden's already rocky period as PM. This disastrous decision came in October of 1956, following the invasion of Egypt by Israel. Britain and France invaded Egypt with the goal of regaining Western control of the Suez Canal—which connects the Mediterranean to the Red Sea—and overthrowing the Egyptian President. The United States, the Soviet Union, and the United Nations all heavily criticized the invasion, and under their pressure the invading force was withdrawn. The incident was generally regarded as an embarrassment for both Britain and France, and diminished the UK's status as a world power. Eden resigned at the beginning of 1957, and was succeeded by fellow conservative Macmillan, who was in turn succeeded by Douglas-Home seven years later (but we probably won't get to that in Season 2). 5) Margaret will meet her future husband. Though she's undoubtedly still broken up over letting her beloved Peter Townsend go, Margaret's new love interest Lord Snowdon is played by Matthew Goode—as consolation prizes go, not terrible. A fêted society photographer, Snowdon became engaged to Margaret in 1960, and they remained married for sixteen tempestuous years before their divorce in 1978, despite a series of semi-public scandals. In retrospect, sticking with the divorcé would have caused a lot less drama. Netflix 6) JFK and Jackie Kennedy are coming. America was barely a footnote in the last season of The Crown, but now the transatlantic intrigue is picking up steam with the introduction of the 35th president and his wife. Michael C. Hall's JFK is described as "most at home in front of a crowd—a natural leader and excellent public speaker who does not take kindly to being upstaged by anyone, especially his wife." He feels undermined by his wife's popularity, and "in public, he seeks revenge by flaunting his many infidelities and, behind closed doors, his jealousy surfaces in the form of anger and manipulation." Jodi Balfour's Jackie, meanwhile, is described as "a shy woman who loathes public life" but hides her reticence behind a charming and confident exterior. Netflix 7) Season 2 is our last season with this cast. While The Crown itself has a six-season plan in place, its cast is not continuing the journey. Last last year, Foy dropped the bombshell that the show will be completely re-cast after Season 2 in order to allow the characters to age convincingly into their forties and beyond. So, assuming aging prosthetics haven't evolved dramatically by the time Season 2 starts pre-production (please?), you should savor every second of Foy, Smith and their colleagues while you can.

Created out of militants who invaded Aleppo, the Western-funded White Helmets is a terrorist support group fraudulently masquerading as a humanitarian organization to undermine Syrian government, says independent researcher and journalist Vanessa Beeley. The propaganda from the rebel-held eastern Aleppo is produced by a number of organizations and individuals who are sponsored by the West, with the White Helmets being the largest among them, Beeley told RT. But the White Helmets are not the heroes that the mainstream media is trying to make of them. “This organization is a fraudulent shadow-state construct created by NATO to simply propagate the propaganda that will demonize Assad’s government and also demonize Russian legal intervention in Syria,” said the journalist, who recently returned from Syria. READ MORE: West, Arab states ‘protecting terrorists’ who will never win in Syria – Mother Agnes to RT “From all the information that we’ve received they are acting as terrorist support group,” she added, “in the sense of bringing equipment, arms, even funding, into Syria.” “They claim to be an impartial, neutral NGO. They are, in fact, multi-million funded by the US, the UK Foreign Office, by Japan, Denmark, Germany, Holland and France,” added Beeley. In his interview with RT last week, the chief liaison officer of the White Helmets Abdulrahman Al Mawwas personally confirmed that the group was sponsored by the Western governments. Read more Beeley emphasized that the White Helmets were “formed by a British [consultant] James Le Mesurier, in 2013. They are trained by him. He has a background in private security work, including connection back to Blackwater, which is one of the best known private security firms that was used by the CIA… as an outreach assassination organization.” “They’re not trained in Syria,” she added. “They’re trained in Gaziantep in Turkey; and then they’re implanted into areas like east Aleppo, areas that are under heavy conflict.” An emergency worker with the legitimate Syrian Civil Defense told Beeley that the White Helmets “grew out of the militant factions that invaded Aleppo in 2012.” “I spoke to the real Syrian Civil Defense, inside West Aleppo, that has been in existence since 1953. It’s the only Syria civil defense organization, which is registered with ICDO – International Civil Defense Organization – which has affiliations with the UN, WHO, Red Crescent and Red Cross. They told us that in 2012, when various militant factions infiltrated East Aleppo, they drove out the real Syria Civil Defense crew – they massacred many, they kidnapped others, they stole equipment, including all of the ambulances and three to five fire engines.” Read more The White Helmets do no humanitarian work, Beeley’s Syrian source said. “They’re very poorly trained in paramedic work,” Beeley, stressed. “He claimed that they drive around with guns in the back of their car, like every other terrorist there. They carry out and facilitate criminal activities in Eastern Aleppo.” The White Helmets has been produced as a construct to “eradicate the Syrian state institutions,” Beeley reiterated. “In other words it’s fraudulently masquerading as the Syria Civil Defense, because there’s an existing Syria Civil Defense, that is operating in both terrorist- and government-held areas, rescuing people from every sort of attack that’s going on inside Syria,” she explained. “This organization is fraudulent shadow state construct, created by NATO to simply propagate the propaganda that will demonize Assad’s government and also demonize Russian legal intervention in Syria.”

AEG, the owner of the Staples Center, had a huge sales day from Monday's jersey retirement of former Los Angeles Lakers guard Kobe Bryant. The company sold $824,000 in Kobe merchandise at its four locations that day, according to Sean Ryan, AEG's vice president of merchandise. "You couldn't make that number up," Ryan said, referring to the fact that the final sales tally had both an 8 and 24 in it, the two numbers the Lakers retired. The ceremony retiring Kobe Bryant's Nos. 8 and 24 earned Staples Center parent company AEG a fitting $824,000 Jovan Buha/ESPN The sales number included $616,000 at the Staples Center, $147,000 in sales online, $39,000 at a New Era hat store and $22,000 at the Lakers Store in El Segundo, California. Kobe jerseys made for the event sold for $524 each, while hats sold for $38.24. Eight limited-edition hats with an ostrich brim were offered for $5,824.08 each, but there were no takers earlier in the week. While the merchandise sold on Monday made up one of the highest single-day revenues for the company, it didn't come close to matching the amount of gear sold for Bryant's last game in April 2016. That day, AEG sold about $1.9 million worth of Bryant gear at its locations. Bryant's 8 and 24 became the 10th and 11th numbers retired by the Lakers.

Razer, the San Diego-based high-end gaming tech company, is on a roll. In the wake of the latest models of its thin Blade gaming laptops, a partnership with Tencent in China, and preparing for the sale of a new wearable, it has recently closed a round of funding with Intel on at least a $1 billion valuation. The details come by way of a leaked internal memo to staff that was passed to TechCrunch by an anonymous source. “We’re already one of the billion dollar unicorns in the tech start-up world and now, we’ve got more resources than ever to allow us to focus on designing and developing the best experiences for gamers worldwide,” the memo notes. The company and Intel are not commenting on the memo’s contents to TechCrunch; sources have indirectly confirmed it as correct. Intel has backed a number of gaming companies by way of Intel Capital and directly. Related investments include Swrve, Hungama, Gaikai (acquired by Sony) and more. It’s also been an active investor in wearables and adjacent technology. This may be the first round raised by Razer in years. The last round reported by the company was a $50 million raise in 2011 from IDG and Accel, from their joint China fund. In the years since then, Razer has grown in popularity on the back of its range of products from high-end gaming peripherals like mice and keyboards; full systems (like the Blade); and wearables like its Nabu smartband, which has yet to launch officially but should be coming “in weeks.” Razer also offers a range of software to run on different platforms. The memo notes that the company now has over 10 million users of its software, with over 2 million logged on daily. While Razer — whose slogan is “For Gamers. By Gamers” — has raised its profile among the gaming community through sponsorships of professional gamers through Team Razer, the company is also making a push to bring its products and gaming in general to a more mainstream audience. That’s where the Nabu smartband will come into play — literally speaking. Razer’s deals with companies like Tencent will integrate into the Nabu services like WeChat, as well as gamification elements — your activity while wearing the Nabu will translate into points on Tencent games. “We expect to see the Razer Nabu convert more non-gamers to gamers in the months to come,” the memo reads. There are other interesting details in the memo, including the appointment of three new board members for the San Diego, CA-based company — a prominent investor and two others based in Silicon Valley — which will be officially announced in the near future.

Answer: A. Radel, a tea party favorite in Florida, was sworn in to Congress in January. | M.Scott Mahaskey/POLITICO Rep. Trey Radel faces cocaine charge Rep. Trey Radel, a Florida Republican elected in 2012, will be in court Wednesday on charges that he possessed cocaine. Radel, 37, was charged with misdemeanor possession of cocaine in D.C. Superior Court on Tuesday. Story Continued Below He faces a maximum of 180 days in jail, as well as a fine of up to $1,000. Several sources with direct knowledge say it was the FBI and Drug Enforcement Administration who were involved in the charges. ( Also on POLITICO: 10 things to know about Trey Radel) Radel has missed all four votes in the House this week. Radel, in a statement released by his office, made no mention of resigning from the House. He said he struggles “with the disease of alcoholism, and this led to an extremely irresponsible choice. As the father of a young son and a husband to a loving wife, I need to get help so I can be a better man for both of them.” A spokesman for Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) said, “Members of Congress should be held to the highest standards, and the alleged crime will be handled by the courts. Beyond that, this is between Rep. Radel, his family, and his constituents.” ( PHOTOS: Top congressional scandals) The U.S. Attorney’s office for the District of Columbia declined to comment on Radel’s arrest and case. The Associated Press, citing an unnamed DEA official, said Radel allegedly bought cocaine from a dealer in the Dupont Circle area who had been previously arrested as part of a federal probe. “Later that night, federal authorities went to his apartment and informed him that he would be facing criminal charges related to his purchase of cocaine,” the AP said. The Florida Republican, who holds a district on the western coast of Florida that includes the tony Marco Island, is a former journalist, TV anchor and radio talk-show host. He never held elective office before winning his House seat last November. His district was vacated by former Rep. Connie Mack (R-Fla.), who ran for the Senate. ( Earlier on POLITICO: New members of Congress in 2013) In the statement, Radel said he realizes “the disappointment my family, friends and constituents must feel. Believe me, I am disappointed in myself, and I stand ready to face the consequences of my actions.” The arrest, he said, has a “positive side.” “It offers me an opportunity to seek treatment and counseling,” he said. “I know I have a problem and will do whatever is necessary to overcome it, hopefully setting an example for others struggling with this disease.” This article tagged under: Florida Republicans Trey Radel

The 2013 World Junior Evaluation Camp continued with two games today, and a pair of Montreal Canadiens draft picks grabbed the spotlight. Sweden took on USA Blue this afternoon, and thanks to a two goal and one assist performance by Sebastien Collberg, Sweden came away with a 4-3 victory. Collberg scored two nearly identical power play goals in the first period, one timing a pair of pucks behind USA goaltender Thatcher Demko. A great effort by Collberg early in the second period led to a turnover, and linemate Gustav Possler capitalized on Collberg’s determination, and gave the Swede’s a 3-0 lead. The Canadiens second round pick in 2012, would eventually leave the game late in the second period with a knee injury. He fell awkwardly, twisted his knee and was unable to return for the third period. The severity of the injury is unknown at this point. Brady Vail, Montreal’s fourth round selection in 2012, added an assist for the Americans. Jacob De La Rose suited up for Sweden, but was held scoreless. The second American squad, Team White, took to the ice in the afternoon, and defeated Finland 5-2. Michael McCarron, the first round pick of the Canadiens in 2013, led USA with a goal and an assist in the victory. Artturi Lehkonen, who had a three goal and one assist effort one day ago for Finland, was held scoreless against McCarron’s squad. The tournament continues on Wednesday, with Team Canada coming to town and taking on Finland. USA will cut their two teams down to one roster and face Sweden Wednesday evening. We will learn tomorrow if Vail and McCarron make the compacted version of Team USA, after the cuts are announced by the American coaching staff.

As for the conditions for use of force, Cruz appears ready to deploy the U.S. military, but not in a nation-building or occupation capacity, a position his team likely calculates as a poll winner, considering Americans’ dissatisfaction with unsuccessful efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan. “If and when military action is called for, it should be A) with a clearly defined military objective, B) executed with overwhelming force, and C) when we’re done we should get the heck out,” he said. “I don’t think it’s the job of our military to engage in nation-building. It is the job of our military to protect America and to hunt down and kill those who would threaten to murder Americans. It is not the job of our military to occupy countries across the globe and try to turn them into Democratic utopias.” While Cruz predictably saves his strongest criticism for Obama and Clinton—tying them together by repeatedly tagging the current White House approach as an “Obama-Clinton foreign policy”—he spends considerable time contrasting his positions with those of his likely rivals. In fact, Cruz’s desire to exploit Paul’s perceived weakness on foreign policy has in large part driven the Texas senator’s brand-building strategy thus far. It’s certainly what has led Cruz to focus early and often on establishing friends in the pro-Israel community of voters and donors, which remains wary of the libertarian from Kentucky.

In a close vote, the House of Representatives Friday afternoon passed a financial reform bill intended to re-regulate Wall Street and increase protections for Main Street. The bill, passed in a 223-202 vote, calls for the creation of a new federal agency dedicated to protecting consumers that would police consumer credit products like mortgages and credit cards. It also establishes new rules for the trading of derivatives and increases the transparency of the credit-rating process -- two previously under-regulated parts of the economy that played a large role in last year's economic collapse. Not a single Republican voted for the bill. Twenty-seven Democrats broke with the rest of their party to vote against it. The measure includes language, introduced in committee by Reps. Ron Paul (R-Texas) and Alan Grayson (D-Fla.), that would authorize an expansive audit of the Federal Reserve, a landmark achievement for critics of the central bank's secretive operations. The bill also requires systemically important banks to pay into a fund that would be used to break them up and sell them off if they go bankrupt. Republicans bitterly and inaccurately referred to it as a "bailout fund," telegraphing a critique that will undoubtedly re-emerge during the 2010 midterm elections. "Today is an important milestone in reversing the decades-long stranglehold Wall Street and big banks have had over our economy. But it is just the first step," said Service Employees International Union Secretary-Treasurer Anna Burger. "Despite the millions Wall Street and the Chamber of Commerce spent fighting the demands of the American people and the dozens of visits by big bank CEOs to strong-arm members of Congress, our leaders found the political will and courage to pass the most historic financial reform legislation in nearly 80 years." The fight to fundamentally reform financial regulations began soon after President Barack Obama took office. Public zeal, though, was tempered on Capitol Hill by bankers and other Wall Street titans, who united to fight against the kind of reform advocated by consumers, union groups, and academics. The bill disappointed some consumer groups, who pledged to work to make it stronger as it moves to the Senate. "The bill does very little to address industry structure," the consumer advocacy group Public Citizen said in a statement. "The biggest banks are now bigger than they were before the crisis." Michael Calhoun, president of the Center for Responsible Lending, hailed the bill's creation of the Consumer Financial Protection Agency, but worried it goes too far in allowing federal regulators to preempt their state compatriots. "The bill would provide consumers with significant protections from the industry practices that dismantled our economy and those of countries around the world," he said. "We commend the House for this vote to protect families and small business from unfair, unsafe financial practices. However, we remain concerned that the bill allows the same federal banking regulators whose inaction led to the current crisis to continue to ignore state law. That must be fixed as the legislation moves forward." Despite the advocacy by financial luminaries like former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker, the bill does nothing to break up big banks or address the mixing of commercial and investment banking by giant firms like JPMorgan Chase and Goldman Sachs. Barbara Roper, director of investor protection at the Consumer Federation of America, praised the part of the bill dealing with credit rating agencies -- with a caveat, though. "If you accept the whole business model as a given, the rest of it is strong," she said, referring to the fact that the agencies are paid by bond issuers to rate their products, creating an inherent conflict of interest. Specifically, the bill subjects the credit rating agencies to increased liability, allowing for aggrieved investors to sue. Also, thanks to Rep. Brad Sherman (D-Calif.), a provision was added mandating that the agencies owe a duty of care to investors, rather than just to the bond issuers that pay them, she said. The bill takes a stab at regulating derivatives, but key reforms were either ignored or voted down. An amendment by Bart Stupak (D-Mich.) calling for increased transparency in trading, which was backed by a coalition of pro-reform advocates, was voted down 330-98. Financial Services Committee Chairman Barney Frank offered another amendment regarding derivatives that would have beefed up the powers of federal regulators, who have long lacked critical authority to initiate meaningful regulation. That, too, died. A third amendment would have banned those derivatives that are, in essence, used by big financial firms to place bets upon bets upon bets, like the kind pioneered by AIG that helped crash the financial system last year. It also was voted down. "Basically, the financial houses and the big banks are working [these amendments] real hard," Stupak said. "Wall Street's been working hard. We've been tripping over them all week. They've won this round." Public Citizen offered this explanation: It's no mystery why this legislation is not stronger. Wall Street spent $5 billion in political investments in the decade before the financial crisis to obtain deregulation and non-enforcement of existing rules. Despite Wall Street having crashed the economy, nothing has changed on Capitol Hill. Wall Street continues to invest heavily in politics and wield enormous influence. More than 900 former federal employees, including 70 former members of Congress, are working as lobbyists for the financial services sector this year. Wall Street has spent more than $40 million on campaign contributions since November 2008. "It was the single most important they needed to get right if they wanted to protect the system from future crises, and I don't think they got it right," Roper said. The bill also addressed investor protection, increasing it in some areas but weakening it in others. Shareholders will now be able to hold non-binding votes on executive compensation -- a big win for investor groups. But the bill also includes a provision that changes current law by exempting about half of all publicly-traded companies from having to get audits of their internal controls. Fraud will be harder to catch, investor groups argue. The House also voted to kill what many experts, consumer advocates and economists believe to be the best -- and perhaps the only -- way to stem the rising tide of foreclosures: a provision that would have allowed judges to cut the principal for struggling homeowners in bankruptcy. Belying their expressions of outrage towards banks and sympathy for struggling homeowners, enough Democrats joined Republicans to kill the amendment offered by Democrats John Conyers of Michigan and Jim Marshall of Georgia, by a 241-188 vote. Bankruptcy courts may reduce several forms of debt for distressed borrowers, but not the mortgage on a primary residence. Judges can, however, alter loan terms on vacation homes and cars, for example. In March, the House passed a bill that was "substantively identical" to today's amendment, according to a summary of the amendment provided by the chamber's Rules Committee. The Senate, however, voted it down, leading Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), a longtime advocate for homeowners, to conclude that banks "frankly own the place." "The financial industry has so much invested in political influence, in lobbying, in campaign contributions, into having a local network through the local banks and the credit unions," said Rep. Brad Miller (D-N.C.). "It's just very hard to go up against that based upon a strong public policy objective." Backers of the measure thought it had a reasonable chance of passage, since, after all, it had already passed, and the foreclosure crisis has only gotten worse. About one in seven homeowners with a mortgage are either delinquent or in foreclosure. The passage of time, however, gave banks a chance to work the halls. "We got a vote for it earlier this year, but it took a huge effort. There was none of that effort this time. I think that leadership has been working other issues in the bill, but not that one. And there's enormous opposition to it," said Miller. One in four homeowners with a mortgage are "underwater," meaning they owe more on the home than it's worth. The administration's $75 billion foreclosure-prevention effort does virtually nothing to help those homeowners, consumer advocates and economists argue. Furthermore, since the program's launch in March, less than 32,000 troubled homeowners have received permanent relief through the government's mortgage modification plan. It's supposed to help three to four million homeowners avoid foreclosure. "You would think that would be a strong argument for doing something about it," Miller said. "And with the continued foreclosure rate and the effect that's having on home values and the effect they're having on each other, being such a downward force on our economy. But there's just a united front of opposition by the financial industry. If some members are playing it by thinking, well, I'll give them this vote but then I'll vote for the CFPA, I guess I can see that calculation." Marshall pinned some of the blame on Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner, who had been cool to the idea last spring. "The leadership here in the House is a big friend to this bill. The White House, well, the Treasury Secretary made some comments earlier this year that I thought were unfortunate. Other than Geithner's comments, I haven't really heard anything else from the White House. Obviously it's not on their priority list, among the many things they don't have much of an opinion about. Though Geithner did say something, and I wish I could recall, he said something earlier this year that was chilling. Not that he said it was a bad idea, but it certainly wasn't an endorsement," said Marshall. Candidate Obama supported the idea of allowing judges to modify mortgages in bankruptcy en route to the White House. He even expressed public support in February when outlining his plan to stem foreclosures. But it wasn't in his detailed plan released the next month. Since then, the White House has largely been silent. President Obama cheered the House action Friday. "This legislation brings us another important step closer to necessary, comprehensive financial reform that will create clear rules of the road, consistent and systematic enforcement of those rules, and a stronger, more stable financial system with better protections for consumers and investors," he said in a statement. But the loopholes in the bill and the reforms that were voted down revealed something else to Roper -- an apparent deep-seated hostility to government regulation. Time and time again, Roper noticed various reform proposals killed on the specious claim that they would kill jobs. Looking beyond today's vote, there are deep, structural roadblocks to fundamental reform, she said. "Even as they're trying to cure the regulatory failures that led to the current crisis, they're setting us up for future crises," she said. "It's a philosophy and attitude to regulation that suggests that as soon as the spotlight is off they will be back to attacking regulation as too costly." The vote, she said, reveals "that the attitude, the underlying problem, has not changed, and will come back to haunt us in the future." "It's hard to be all that enthusiastic when you know that nothing has changed," she said.

Former Mexican President Vicente Fox gestures while speaking during an interview with AFP at the Fox Center in San Francisco del Rincon, Guanajuato state, Mexico on March 8. | Getty Vicente Fox apologizes to Trump for wall outburst More than two months after his expletive-laden outburst over Donald Trump's plan for a massive border wall, former Mexican President Vicente Fox is apologizing to Trump and has invited the presumptive Republican presidential nominee to Mexico. Mexican leaders have insisted that the country’s government will not pay for Trump’s wall, despite his consistent claim that as president he will build a wall along the southern border and have Mexico fund it. Speaking to Fusion’s Jorge Ramos in February, Fox said, “I’m not going to pay for that f-----g wall” — a statement that prompted Trump to call for an apology. “If I offended you, I’m sorry,” Fox said, referring to Trump in an interview with Breitbart on Wednesday. “But what about the other way around?” In his speech last June announcing his presidential campaign, Trump said Mexicans were crossing the border, bringing drugs and crime. “They’re rapists,” he said. “And some, I assume, are good people.” Fox added later on Fox News’ “The O’Reilly Factor,” “I think it’s very important to invite Donald Trump to come to Mexico and to learn about the real Mexico.”

Fox News host and legal analyst Jeanine Pirro dropped a bombshell this morning when she made reference to Bill Clinton’s friendship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Pirro was on Fox and Friends to discuss Clinton’s controversial meeting with Attorney General Loretta Lynch, but she made reference to an even bigger potential scandal. The former prosecutor said that the reason Clinton met with Lynch was “because he could,” suggesting that Clinton was too arrogant to even care about how it would be perceived. “Look he flew around with Jeffrey Epstein the pedophile 26 times with all of these bimbos on the plane and he thinks that, you know, he’s free,” said Pirro, before also drawing attention to Clinton raising money for foreign governments under the auspices of the Clinton Foundation while Hillary was Secretary of State. “Classic pay to play,” she concluded. Epstein, a former financier who worked at Bear Stearns, served 13 months of an 18 month sentence after admitting to soliciting prostitution from girls as young as 14. Epstein also reportedly placed cameras around his Palm Beach property to catch prominent people having sex with underage girls so he could use the footage for criminal blackmail. Earlier this year, Fox News reported how, “Clinton was a much more frequent flyer on a registered sex offender’s infamous jet than previously reported, with flight logs showing the former president taking at least 26 trips aboard the “Lolita Express” — even apparently ditching his Secret Service detail for at least five of the flights.” According to Conchita Sarnoff, of the Washington, D.C. based non-profit Alliance to Rescue Victims of Trafficking, Clinton chose to associate with Epstein even though everyone in Epstein’s inner circle knew that he was a pedophile. Although logs do not show Clinton visited “Orgy Island,” the 72-acre plot in the U.S. Virgin Islands where girls as young as 12 were pimped out to service Epstein’s friends, Virginia Roberts, who claims she was pimped out by Epstein at the age of 15, claims that she saw Clinton on the island. During her appearance on the show, Pirro also demolished the notion that Loretta Lynch will now not be involved in any decision on whether Hillary Clinton is indicted after Lynch said earlier today that she would, “accept whatever recommendation career prosecutors and the F.B.I. director make about whether to bring charges related to Hillary Clinton’s personal email server.” Asked by Tucker Carlson, “You’re saying that if the FBI were to recommend to the Justice Department an indictment of Hillary Clinton under the standard that the Attorney General just set down, she could still refuse to indict?” “This happens every day,” said Pirro, before going on to explain that Hillary won’t be indicted because it would make Barack Obama complicit because he knew about Hillary’s private email server. “They will not allow a constitutional crisis where the President of the United States knew about the risking of security,” said Pirro.

The following essay investigates moral questions we must answer in the advent of social technology. First, we will take a philosophical look at social media and identify what role humans actually play in a digital world. Next, we will see if the freedom awarded by social media challenges our ability to achieve aesthetics. Finally, we will question if the liberty social media awards us is in conflict with the freedom of our minds. Social Media’s Existential Crisis Social Media isn’t a platform. It’s creationism. It’s our chance to play god and write an origin story. With this power in our hands, it is wise to understand exactly what we create. Sartrean Existentialism Existentialism aims to answer what it means to be human, and French Philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre’s work gives us an interesting look at creating identities: Existence precedes essence — There is no design to our individuality like there is for a car or a desk. When we are born, we are a blank canvas. Our values will mold the essence of our individuality. Every action we take further defines our values and world view. Inversely, only our actions define our worldview. Basically, there is no divine being that shapes who we are. Note: if you’re nonsecular, don’t get hung up on this point. The rest of this essay will still apply to you. Humans are responsible for all humans — With no ethical rulebook to precede human existence, humans must forge their own values with respect to all humans. Therefore, the actions you take define the values you want to contribute to “the greater good.” Humans are condemned to be free — We don’t choose to be born, so we are condemned to the freedom we receive at birth. This means we must choose virtue or vice in every situation, and whatever we choose will be displayed through our actions. With complete freedom and complete responsibility, the most virtuous choices are the ones that pursue aesthetics through the designer’s medium. If we look at Sartre’s model of existentialism, it should look a lot like our relationship with social media platforms: Humans create an avatar and it is up to them to design the character through its actions. The avatar’s actions contribute to the platform’s global values. In our socials, humans have complete freedom and complete responsibility to embody the values they give their avatars. So we’ve established that participating in social media means we are given a blank canvas to work with, but does this mean that an avatar has the same values as its human designer? Your Avatar Is Its Own Moral Agent Social existentialism doesn’t go very far if you still believe that you are your social media avatars. At best, they are a greatest hits album. Sure, we aggregate characteristics out of our personality purse, but consider this: have you ever befriended someone URL, and when you meet them IRL, they were unbearably underwhelming? Video Games give us an interesting look into the difference between human values vs. avatar values. If an avatar murders an innocent person in a video game, does the player value murder? Of course not. The player only instructed the avatar, but it was the avatar that committed murder in its digital world. Inversely, the avatar does value murder. give us an interesting look into the difference between human values vs. avatar values. If an avatar murders an innocent person in a video game, does the player value murder? Of course not. The player only instructed the avatar, but it was the avatar that committed murder in its digital world. Inversely, the avatar does value murder. Your avatars continue to interact with other avatars through archived posts even when you sleep. So how could you possibly be your avatar? You aren’t. We are the mere designers of another being with it’s own life, it’s own relationships and it’s own reputation. As the social “world” gets built out by new platforms, avatars are obtaining more liberties that are only limited by the internet’s imagination. Therefore, the “complete freedom” given to us in human life is no where near as great as the “complete freedom” given to an avatar. So how big is the “great responsibility?” Social Media Marketing Ethics We need to be progressive about deciding what our and our avatar’s ethics will be before social media gets too big to handle. When using social media to display an avatar’s personality and the human’s work, the account has crossed over into the world of digital marketing. At what point does the documentation of an avatar’s personality distract from the aesthetics of the human’s work? If an avatar gains a following documenting their human’s art as a chef but then pivots to cute puppy pictures because they perform better, is the avatar oppressing the human’s art? In brand deals, is an avatar responsible for notifying the audience that the human was paid to endorse a product? If avatars are their own moral agents and a social media manager randomly uploads content that conflicts with the avatar’s established ethics, who made the ethical slip up? The avatar or the manager? With the audience’s interest in mind, at what point does it become advantageous to have one avatar dedicated to marketing and one for the human’s personal design? Tribes and Defending Values Does digitally marketing an avatar’s personality tip the scales of inequality if you have a charismatic personality? Of course. But, assuming acting isn’t the human’s medium, what does the avatar’s charisma have to do with the aesthetic of the human’s work? It’s safe to say that optimizing social media marketing is just the competitive nature of business. But if socials give us the complete freedom to create an avatar for business, than there must be complete responsibility to not get carried away. This choice is broken down into two schools of thought: The Teleological position can be distilled down to “the right choice is the one that does the greatest amount of good for the greatest amount of people.” It emphasizes the notion that values must consider how they contribute happiness to everyone affected by those actions. can be distilled down to “the right choice is the one that does the greatest amount of good for the greatest amount of people.” It emphasizes the notion that values must consider how they contribute happiness to everyone affected by those actions. The Deontological position states that it is our duty to act on our values regardless of the good or evil that presents itself in the outcome. Is it ethical to hurt one person for the happiness of five avatars? What about hurting one avatar for the happiness of five humans? Does sticking to our “duty” prevent us from accepting factual evidence that challenges our accepted duty? -isms Also Have Moral Agency When the avatar decides on its values, it likely aligns with several tribal “-isms” (e.g. activism, post-modernism, Judaism etc.) The human must decide which ethical code will allow the avatar to remain loyal to the -ism and still achieve aesthetics in it’s platforms. This pursuit is immediately more complicated when you toss in the fact that we currently live in a society plagued by -isms of vice and oppression. Oppressive-isms are born out of vice — primarily judgement. But does that mean progressive-isms are inherently virtuous? (Progressive)Equality-isms act differently because, by nature of their doctrine, each member is equal and free to express their freedom how they see fit. This means that each member must choose to express their freedom through virtue or vice. At what point in liberty are you also opening the door for an avatar’s vice to derail the virtue of the human’s message? At what point does that vice start to affect members of the avatar’s or human’s tribes? The Equality Paradox We can use the Law of Syllogism to figure out if loyalty to an equality-ism is inherently virtuous, and it will give us an idea of what to expect out of our reliance on social media. For the sake of this hypothetical: we’ll define vice as the line in which liberty inadvertently oppresses a member of the -ism. However, this is a line that each equality-ism needs to decide for itself. If (P)Vice is (Q)Unvirtuous And (Q)Unvirtuousness is (R)Oppressive Then (P)Vice is (R)Oppressive✓ Things get more complicated when we add an -ism If (P)Equality-isms permit (Q)Vice And (Q)Vice permits (R)Oppression Then (P)Equality-isms permit (Q)Oppression — ✓ — *sorta *In order to to validate the conclusion, we need to look at American philosopher Thomas Nagel’s “Moral Luck.” Moral Luck states that conditions that are out of a moral agent’s control will allow us to appear virtuous or vicious; however, we do not deserve praise or reprimand for a contextual variable. For a quick example, consider two scenarios: Nazi A is in 1942 Germany and values oppression. Nazi A oppresses jews under the rule of the Third Reich. is in 1942 Germany and values oppression. Nazi A oppresses jews under the rule of the Third Reich. Nazi B is in 2042 Boca Raton, FL and values oppression. Nazi B isn’t enabled by the Third Reich and doesn’t oppress anyone. Was Nazi A less moral than Nazi B? Moral Luck says no. In both situations the constant was valuing oppression. The conditions of the time they lived in enabled Nazi A to oppress, but those conditions were a variable that were out of the nazi’s control. Nazi B chose not to act on its value of oppression because it wasn’t enabled by the time it lived in. However, it still valued oppression all the same. This means the core values of each moral agent are constant despite the outcome of their moral luck. One of the values of complete freedom is the option to give in to vice. If we know vice to be oppressive than our model becomes more fine tuned: If (P)Equality-isms value (Q)Vices And (Q)Vices value (R)Oppression Then (P)Equality-isms value (R)Oppression And then: If (P)Equality-isms are (Q)Oppressive And (Q)Oppression is (R)Inequality Then (P)Equality-ism are (R)Inequality ✓ — A moral paradox In Conclusion The uninhibited freedom embodied by equality-isms shows us that one can not expect virtue or aesthetics when the moral agent separates freedom from responsibility. It is absolutely possible, but it is a complete gamble. The same applies to your social media avatar. The human must choose where complete responsibility lies according to what the avatar’s virtues will be. However, forgoing responsibility for the sake of liberal activism leaves your avatar’s chances of achieving aesthetics up to luck. Therefore, The logical path to virtue and aesthetics is to tether freedom and responsibility. Parting Favors:

The Great War in Books: The Case Against War in France – MEMO FROM LA–LA LAND MEMO FROM LA–LA LAND if I were an artist this would be my sketchbook Menu Skip to content Montague Kobbé Search for: The Great War in Books: The Case Against War in France November 8, 2018 November 8, 2018 • memofromlalaland When Henri Barbusse enlisted in the French army he was 41 years old, he had worked as a civil servant first, before turning to journalism, had already published four books, including two novels, and had developed strong socialist views against militarism. But this was the autumn of 1914 and a whirlwind of patriotic nationalism swept the country into such an irresistible frenzy that even a middle-aged pacifist was caught up in the swell. He wasn’t the only one either: almost two decades later Louis Ferdinand Céline would describe with characteristic facetiousness in his notorious novel Journey to the End of the Night (1932) the episode in which his protagonist (and alter ego) Ferdinand Bardamu joined the ranks. Bardamu discusses abstract political concepts with his friend Arthur when “who should come marching past the café where we’re sitting but a regiment with the colonel up front on his horse looking nice and friendly, a fine figure of a man! Enthusiasm lifted me to my feet […] and off I go to enlist, on the double.” To go by Barbusse’s reaction once he found himself in the trenches, his decision to join the front might not have been as whimsical as Bardamu’s. As a committed socialist—he would join the communist party in 1923—he might well (and I’m speculating here) have intended to gauge the mood of the troops and even influence their political consciousness, but as a writer he certainly intended to document everything he saw from the first moment he got there. Barbusse completed 18 months of active service starting from December 1914, and he made scrupulous note of his experiences in a war diary throughout 1915, before he was removed from the Western Front due to serious illness. During his time in hospital Barbusse began drafting his account of life in the trenches—more a novelized rendition than a journalistic reportage—which he was able to publish by installments in the radical socialist daily L’Oevre, under the somewhat misleading title The Story of a Squad. First published in book format in December 1916, Under Fire: The Story of a Squad merited Barbusse the prestigious Goncourt prize in 1916 and became an instant sensation—not only because it introduced a dissenting voice (despite censorship) right in the middle of the conflict but, perhaps more importantly, because it altered the public’s romanticized perception of what it was like to live and die for the country in the trenches. Focusing on the day-to-day penuries of a squad stationed in the Pas-des-Calais area in northern France, the narrative is singular in its unfiltered portrayal of hardship. Its gritty realism would have shocked contemporary readers, anaesthetized as they were by official propaganda and a deeply rooted desire (the sort of desire that engenders conviction) to believe that things weren’t, really, so bad. In Barbusse’s account things aren’t just that bad, they’re worse—but the accomplished craft of a writer with two decades’ experience behind his back allows him to find a balance between gory realism and lyrical recollection, entwining beautiful images with torrid violence, touching moments of contemplation with sequences of frenetic action in a balancing act that is meant to persuade readers to keep reading, almost despite themselves. The problem with reading Under Fire 100 years after the end of the First World War, though, is that the modern reader will have become familiar with so many horrors, unthinkable just a century ago, that Barbusse’s catalogue becomes predictable rather than shocking. In this respect Céline’s strategy is more effective, perhaps because unwittingly it foreshadows the direction postmodern literature would take. Only about one fourth of Journey to the End of the Night is concerned with Bardamu’s involvement in the First World War, but crucially it’s the opening section of the book, the one that sets its tone and internal structure. Famously misanthropic, Journey to the End of the Night is hard to process precisely because of its negative stance towards just about everything society holds dear. But while Céline’s (or Bardamu’s) misogyny seems visceral and his racist portrayal of the fictional French African colony of Bambola-Bragamance is desperately flat, he is able to inject nuanced depth in his anti-nationalist views (Céline is simply anti-everything) by equipping Bardamu with a coherent yet antagonistic moral code that revolves around cowardice. The result is a devastating and surprisingly amusing representation of the folly of 1914–1918. Céline’s audacity is perfectly complemented by his caustic wit although perhaps it helps that in hindsight (and by 1932 he would have partaken in some of this hindsight already) the idiocy and ineptitude of those at the helm of the warring powers was so all-encompassing it left little room for anything other than ridicule—and grief. Comparing Under Fire with Journey to the End of the Night is like comparing hibiscus with hyenas, not least due to the very hindsight that informs the latter, but from a superficial perspective the reading experience of both novels is symmetrically opposite. Céline’s begins with an explosion of sarcasm and dynamism that is progressively diluted by his untenable ideology and his excessive bile. Meanwhile, Barbusse’s burns slowly, almost tediously, towards its climax in the heat of the battle. BArbusse in uniform. Source: larousse.fr Though it comprises 24 chapters, Under Fire really comes to its own in the final two, which nonetheless take up more than 100 pages (roughly a third of the novel). Whether genuine or fictionalized, Barbusse’s depiction of the scene as the squad is mobilized to charge the German trench is quite simply heart-rending—even by today’s standards. The anxiety experienced by his characters as they seek (and fail) to take their positions in the darkest darkness of night, the revulsion they endure as they are forced to crawl through the trench sewage, the excitement that keeps them going as they step into almost certain death—No-Man’s-Land—the murdering instincts that lead them to kill, sometimes in man-to-man combat, fellow human beings they hadn’t even seen before in their lives, the astonishment they feel when they find night turned to day by the incessant explosion of shells aimed at them, the paralyzing fear and the horrifying recognition of death as it stares them in the eye, as it claims their comrades, as it envelops them and everything around them is overwhelming on the one hand, but it’s also humbling and edifying. Beyond the ideological message that pervades the final pages of the novel, beyond the controversy over whether or not Barbusse was faithful to his experience, this ability to transport us to a distant time—so very different to ours—this ability in fact to produce empathy in the reader makes Under Fire an essential book not just to understand the Great War in particular but human nature in general.

Ralph Peters, a "strategic analyst" speaking on Fox Business Monday morning, said Obama "is such a total pu---" on live TV. (Video here) Stacey Dash, an actress who starred in "Clueless" who is a Fox contributor, said the president "doesn't give a sh--" during a lunchtime broadcast of "Outnumbered," according to CNN. (Video here.) Dash's comment was partially bleeped, unlike the first. "Earlier today, Fox contributors Lt. Col. Ralph Peters and Stacey Dash made comments on different programs that were completely inappropriate and unacceptable for our air," Fox senior executive vice president Bill Shine said in a statement to CNN. "Fox Business Network and Fox News Channel do not condone the use of such language, and have suspended both Peters and Dash for two weeks." In response to the suspension, Dash tweeted: "Consequences. Some of us have to pay them. Gladly." [email protected] Twitter: @KoltenParker

BARACK OBAMA: “Similarly, with respect to the rights of gays and lesbians, I’ve been consistent all across Africa on this. I believe in the principle of treating people equally under the law, and that they are deserving of equal protection under the law and that the state should not discriminate against people based on their sexual orientation. And I say that, recognizing that there may be people who have different religious or cultural beliefs. But the issue is how does the state operate relative to people. “If you look at the history of countries around the world, when you start treating people differently -- not because of any harm they’re doing anybody, but because they’re different -- that’s the path whereby freedoms begin to erode and bad things happen. And when a government gets in the habit of treating people differently, those habits can spread. “And as an African-American in the United States, I am painfully aware of the history of what happens when people are treated differently, under the law, and there were all sorts of rationalizations that were provided by the power structure for decades in the United States for segregation and Jim Crow and slavery, and they were wrong. “So I’m unequivocal on this. If somebody is a law-abiding citizen who is going about their business, and working in a job, an obeying the traffic signs -- (laughter) -- and doing all the other things that good citizens are supposed to do, and not harming anybody -- the idea that they are going to be treated differently or abused because of who they love is wrong. Full stop. And the state does not need to weigh in on religious doctrine. The state just has to say we’re going to treat everybody equally under the law. And then everybody else can have their own opinions. All right?”

On Wednesday’s broadcast of Fox News Channel’s “Hannity,” conservative talker Mark Levin said John Boehner should be deposed as speaker of the House. “I wouldn’t be sitting in a room with John Boehner — I’d be sitting a room with conservatives figuring out how to replace John Boehner,” Levin said. “I hate to tell you, that’s my view. John Boehner, you know sir. … This country is bigger than the government. Our lives are bigger than the government. We’ll be able to eat, we’ll be able to clothe ourselves, we’ll be able to go to the movies. If the EPA isn’t down our throats and in our face, we’ll still live our lives perfectly fine. The Republicans need to accept this.” “Boehner is repeating what Obama says,” he added. “The bottom line is this: The debt is the interest on the debt that is due. We bring in far more money than is required to pay the interest on the debt to cover Social Security and Medicare, to cover the military and the vets. And what he’s talking about — and Boehner is doing — is paying for all the rest of the stuff.” Follow Jeff on Twitter
