Argentine singer/songwriter Maria Volonte is a Latin Grammy nominee, Gardel Prize winner (Argentina's Grammy) and member of the Tango Hall of Fame who combines a love of her Argentine roots with an absolutely personal approach to making music – result of a life lived intensely as a woman and as an artist – that has fascinated critics and audiences around the world.
Maria returns to the US following her recent tours of Argentina and Europe bringing with her all the passion and sensuality of her native Buenos Aires. Her new music explores the fusion of tango with the blues – two musical traditions born on the margins of society, which went on to seduce the entire world.
In tonight's concert Maria will perform uniquely original compositions, deeply rooted in the Argentine tango with elements of blues and jazz. She will be accompanied by Kevin Footer on harmonica.
After an introductory dance lesson by award winning tango teacher Sonja Riket, the Milonga will feature a more traditional Live Tango music set for social dancing by Maria, Kevin and guest Darren Morgan on cajon. Come listen, watch the social Tango dancers or join in the dance!
More info about the artists:
MARIA VOLONTE (vocals & guitar):
Maria Volonte is an Argentine artist celebrated for the intense emotional universe that fires her music. Filling theaters and fascinating audiences and critics around the world, Maria turns each concert into a celebration of life, art and music.
Winner of the Gardel Prize (Argentina's Grammy award) and a Latin Grammy nominee, Maria is a singer, guitarist and songwriter who takes the music of Latin America to unexpected places by crossing musical boundaries and honing a deeply personal approach.
As the Los Angeles Times wrote, "Volonte is a good example of an artist who is respectful of her roots yet not afraid to go beyond musty old formulas… Her musical concept is refreshingly broad."
Jazz Perspectives wrote: Maria Volonte combines the earthiness of Edith Piaff with the sassiness of Eartha Kit.
Maria's love of the musical life and her passion for experimentation have lead to far-reaching projects, from an exploration of the sassy roots of tango to tango fusion to collaborations with revered icons of jazz such as Horacio Larumbe (a project which lead to her 2003 Latin Grammy nomination). She has performed the title role in the Astor Piazzolla opera "Maria of Buenos Aires", opened for jazz pianist Brad Mehldau, played at the famed jazz club Yoshi's in California and thrilled audiences at music festivals from Punto de l'Este to Helsinki.
Maria has released six albums. Her latest, "Sudestada" (2007) features four of Maria's own compositions and was produced by famed singer-songwriter Raul Carnota. "Yo soy Maria" (2006), explores the fusion of tango with jazz and bossa nova and was nominated for the 2007 Gardel Prize. "Tangos" (2004), brought together a classic collection of tangos from her repertoire and was nominated for the 2005 Gardel Prize. "Fuimos" (2003), a duo project with the legendary pianist Horacio Larumbe, won Maria the 2004 Gardel Prize and was nominated for a Latin Grammy. "Cornisas del Corazon" (1999), was recorded live at the historic Tortoni Cafe in Buenos Aires while her first, "Tango y Otras Pasiones" (1996) was chosen by the "La Nacion" newspaper as one of the "Top 100 Tango Recordings of All Time."
In 2007, Maria was inducted into the Tango Hall of Fame.
Maria says: "For me singing is a celebration of life itself. It is the ecstasy and pain at childbirth, the mystery of the long voyage, the thrill of chance encounters, the surrender in love and the slow revelation on one's true self. In singing I renew the force of life within me. I am never more myself than when I sing."

7x7 Magazine "Best Tango Teacher" Award winner and movement therapist Sonja Riket teaches dance and movement classes and organizes cultural-, social and fundraising events around critical issues of our time.

Friday November 21 we closed both Global Entrepreneurship Week and our Women in Business week with 3 spectacular final events: the Women in Business Challenge final, the Ondernemen Zonder Grenzen final and the international final of Get in the Ring: the Investment Battle. BiD Network played a major role in all finals, which were held in the beautiful Van Nelle Fabriek in Rotterdam.
Women in Business final
Our 9 Women in Business participants were on a business trip in the Netherlands this last week. The BiD Network team prepared a busy schedule full of B2B meetings, training sessions and networking moments for each of them. During the final event on Friday, the 5 finalists had to pitch their businesses for the jury and audience. The finalists were Yuli Torres from Peru with the business Sumaq Qara, Suzana Moreira from South Africa with her business moWoza, Ana Barrera from Colombia with her business Aflore, Claudia Esparza from Peru with her business Nasas y Amas, and Dora Karani from Burundi presenting her business Garden City.
The final event was opened by Hendrik van Gent, director of BiD Network, followed by a word of welcome from Leon Wijnands, Global Head of Sustainability at ING. The topics women entrepreneurship and financing were further in-depth discussed by Saskia Vossenberg, researcher at the Maastricht School of Management, and Zairah Khan, founder of VIVEinvest. After this it was time for the pitches of the finalists, followed by Q&A sessions with the audience. All 5 finalists gave impressive pitches, on which they had a lot of training and practice in the days before. Finally, it was time to announce the winner: it was a close call between Claudia Esparza (Nanas y Amas) and Suzana Moreira (moWoza), but based on the innovativeness and impact of the business the jury picked Suzana to be the winner of the 5th Women in Business Challenge. Suzana won € 5,000 to grow her businesses.
Huge congratulations to Suzana for winning this year's Challenge, and to the other finalists and participants for the impressive pitches and hard work and dedication they've put into the Women in Business week. We'd like to thank ING for being our partner in this business plan competition for already 5 years. Also thanks to Happy Gift for being our prize partner, the jury, guest speakers, volunteers of the Women in Business week and the team of BiD Network for all the hard work they've put into this competition.
Ondernemen Zonder Grenzen final
At the same time as the Women in Business final, the final event of Ondernemen Zonder Grenzen took place: the business plan competition for Dutch entrepreneurs with border-crossing business plans in Africa, Asia and/or Latin America. In several battle rounds the finalists competed against each other, hoping to become this year's winner. After 5 exciting battles it was time for the public voting and a Q&A session with investor and jury member Martijn Blom of De Investeerdersclub. Finally, the winners were announced: congratulations PectCof for winning the jury prize and Coral Gardening for winning the public prize! Besides the pitching battles there was a market place where successful previous participants and finalists of Ondernemen Zonder Grenzen showcased their businesses, such as African Clean Energy and Traced Good.
Get in the Ring: the International Final
In the evening it was time for the international final of Get in the Ring: the Olympics for startups and the biggest event of the day. As the regional host of this year's Get in the Ring Africa, BiD Network was supporting our African Champion Justin Coetzee from South Africa with his business GoMetro. Besides GoMetro, one of our other African finalists was lucky enough to be Get in the Ring's choice for the wild card in the international final: Mehdi Alaoui from Morocco with his business ScreenDy. In 5 exciting battle rounds that took place in the boxing ring, 10 promising startups from across the globe competed against each other in front of a champion jury and a big audience of investors, hosts and experts. GoMetro did an amazing job in the ring and won the battling round against Dutch startup Snappcar, thereby getting closer to becoming worldwide champion of this year's Get in the Ring. However, after the public voting and the jury's consultation it became clear who was going to be the final champion: Indonesian startup eFishery was the big winner of Get in the Ring 2014. Not to worry for BiD Network though, as we did not go home completely empty-handed: we won the Impact Award 2014 of Get in the Ring! We feel very honoured to have hosted this year's regional final of Get in the Ring Africa and would like to thank the Erasmus Centre for Entrepreneurship for giving us this opportunity and for winning the award, and of course we are very proud of our very own BiD team for making it happen and turning the event into one of the most exciting startup events in Africa this year.

Inside Outside
There are always those of us who need help….
More or less so
Some, raging lunatics
Some fuming suffragettes
Some with no impulse control
Some ready to weep
Some running marathons
Some marching in streets
Some planting gardens
Some tending sheep
Watching films
Making music
Sleeping it off.
Most, sickly with reason
Or poets casting seeds about
Empty church spires.
Tired and alone
Inside libraries
Where no animals are allowed
We share the single heart of
A rabbit or wren
Hopping toward safety.
About Sights Unseen
The mysterious paintings made in 2013 came from my waking dreams over many years. As I worked, I found myself in strange territory and felt I needed a deeper understanding of the recorded history of the slave trade, the middle passage, slave narratives, Jim Crow, and the ongoing civil rights struggle. I read as much as I could, including the incredible novels of Richard Wright, Toni Morrison and Zora Neale Hurston. I also found the writings of historian, Craig Stevens Wilder; Detroit activist, Grace Lee Boggs; social justice and human rights professor of law, Bryan Stevenson, and many more thinkers and writers, too many to count, who brought insight to the intuitive narrative I had begun. Most of the reading was hard to bear.
Still, I don't pretend to know very much of the written history and I know nothing at all of the experience. But because I'm interested in the attempt to make things better, I aim for empathy and perhaps the possible healing that goes with it.

Yes, well, a proper metadata database of the DDP contents, really. Is the DDP CVS area accessible to the webml cvs on the WWW master site?

George Lavenia, author of What You Think is What You Get, shares his philosophy with a quote attributed to the Buddha, "We are what we think. With our thoughts we make the world. Your worst enemy cannot harm you as much as your own thoughts."
Most of us do not guess or are not told of our true potential, so we grow up and take on the conditioned thoughts around us, believing that there is no other way. When you start to realize how you created this reality, this worldview, it opens up an opportunity to create life in a way of your choosing, in a new worldview. Corinne Edwards interviews George Lavenia, author of What You Think is What You Get, on the power of thoughts in your life.

Prince plans 'unconventional' memoir
Sunday March 20 2016
Prince, one of the most influential but elusive figures in music, on Friday announced a memoir and, in less of a surprise, his publisher said it would be "unconventional."
The 57-year-old "Kid from Minneapolis" will release his first book, whose title has not been revealed, in late 2017, publisher Spiegel and Grau said.
The Random House imprint said that Prince's book would be "an unconventional and poetic journey" through the life and music of the Purple One.
"Prince is a towering figure in global culture and his music has been the soundtrack for untold numbers of people — including me — for more than a generation; his creative genius has provided the musical landscape of our lives," executive editor Christopher Jackson said in a statement.
"Millions of words have been written about Prince — books and articles, essays and criticism — but we're thrilled to be publishing Prince's powerful reflections on his own life in his own incandescently vivid, witty and poetic voice," he said.
Jackson is best known for editing "Between the World and Me" by Ta-Nehisi Coates, a personal reflection on the history of racism in the United States that won the National Book Award.
Prince became an international sensation in the 1980s as he popularized the Minneapolis Sound of danceable funk, with 1984's "Purple Rain" often described as one of the greatest albums of all time.
"Purple Rain" was accompanied by a semi-autobiographical film but Prince has been famously private when discussing himself, insisting that any reporters he meets not only put away recorders but also notebooks.
The artist, who was born as Prince Nelson, continues to live in the outskirts of Minneapolis, where he throws parties and preserves master vaults at his Paisley Park studio.
He remains prolific and has recently embraced streaming, believing that online technology will give him greater artistic freedom.
Prince in the 1990s changed his name to an unpronounceable "love symbol" and wrote "slave" on his cheek to protest contractual conditions by his label Warner.
Best known as a guitarist, singer and dancer, Prince recently put on concerts at Paisley Park and in Australia in which he performed alone with a piano, saying he wanted a new artistic challenge.

On Monday, East Horizon Airlines launched flights to Badakhshan, a remote province in the northeast of Afghanistan. This makes it the first time a private airline has offered flights to the remote region in three years, ever since Ariana Airlines, Pamir, and Kam Air pulled their operations from the region for reasons left unexplained. However, during these three years, reports indicate that only military and UN aircraft flew in the airspace.
There were 44 passengers on the first East Horizon flight to Badakhshan and the flights are welcome by the people and officials of Afghanistan, who say they can now travel easily between Kabul and Badakhshan. Provincial governor Shahwaliullah Adeeb has praised the flights, but is also urging the airline to reconsider the fares for the flights. The airline is currently using two aircraft to service the route and will purchase two more in the near future.
The above article is a summary. Please see the source article at Google News.

Miguel Castro wins a Rockies bullpen spot; Jon Gray back on the mound; four-man rotation
Scottsdale, Ariz. — Miguel Castro, a 21-year-old wunderkind and the Rockies' tallest player, will be on the opening opening-day roster when the team faces the Diamondbacks in Phoenix on Monday. Weiss told him the news Thursday.
"He had a big smile on his face," Weiss said.
The Rockies acquired the 6-foot-5 power pitcher as part of the Troy Tulowitzki trade with Toronto last summer. And Castro made his Colorado debut with a late-late season call-up.
But he started spring a week late after a bout of pneumonia and lost 11 pounds pounds, down to 190. He rallied with enough impressive outings to earn a place on the roster.
"I've come a long way," Castro said. "I have to keep working hard."
Right-hander Jon Gray, who will start the season on the disabled list with an abdominal strain, threw a 40-pitch bullpen session Thursday. He next will throw a simulated game, then get one rehab start before returning to the Rockies, he said, likely in Albuquerque next week. "I still have a lot of stuff to do," he said.
The Rockies will start the season with a four-man pitching rotation, Weiss confirmed. They will use days off to spell the pitchers until April 14 or 16, when a fifth starter is needed. That fifth starter will be either Gray, if he's ready, or long-reliever Christian Bergman.
**Left-hander Jason Gurka remains in play for a bullpen job, Weiss said, along with right-hander Scott Oberg. Those two and Brandon Barnes are battling for the final two roster spots.

JACKSON, MS (WLBT) - Lieutenant Governor Tate Reeves thanked legislators Tuesday for helping to strengthen Mississippi's abortion laws.
The state Senate sent legislation to Governor Phil Bryant that would prohibit abortion in cases where a fetal heartbeat is detected.
"Mississippians value the sanctity of life and expect their elected leaders to fight for those beliefs," said Lieutenant Governor Reeves. "A beating heart clearly means life has begun and should be protected. I appreciate the work of both senators and representatives for getting this legislation to Governor Bryant's desk."
Planned Parenthood Southeast Advocates released a statement after finding out that the bill is expected to be on the Governor's desk soon.
"SB 2116 bans abortion at six weeks - before most women even know they're pregnant. So in effect, the Mississippi Legislature just outlawed abortion for most Mississippians. We expect this to be on the Governor's desk as early as this week and it could wind up in litigation almost immediately," said Felicia Brown-Williams, Mississippi State Director for Planned Parenthood Southeast Advocates. "This is absolutely devastating for the people of this state. People die every day in Mississippi because they lack access to health care. Not only will this bill serve as a death sentence for even more people, but it will now be the subject of an expensive legal battle, funded by Mississippi taxpayers, that will divert even more resources away from critical infrastructure and health care we need."
Senate Bill 2116 provides an exemption for cases of medical emergencies.

A U.S. service member was killed in northern Syria on Thursday.
Etienne J. Murphy, 22, was an infantryman assigned to Bravo Company, 1st Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment at Hunter Army Airfield, Georgia.
Officials said he was on his first deployment.
He was born in May 1995 in Boston and enlisted in the U.S. Army from his hometown of Snellville, Georgia in June 2013.
The Army said Murphy's awards and decorations include the Parachutist Badge, Army Achievement Medal with 3 OLC, Army Good Conduct Medal, National Defense Service Medal, Global War on Terrorism Service Medal, Army Service Ribbon, NATO Medal, and Operation Inherent Resolve Campaign Medal with Campaign Star.
Murphy was posthumously awarded the Army Commendation Medal.
The United States has slightly more than 900 military personnel in Syria to advise and assist Kurdish and Arab rebel forces fighting ISIS.
Two other American service members have died in Syria since U.S. troops arrived there in early 2016.
Navy Senior Chief Petty Officer Scott C. Dayton, 42, was killed by an improvised explosive device in northern Syria on Nov. 24, 2016.
U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Austin L. Bieren, 25, died from suspected natural causes while deployed to northern Syria on March 28.

It has been suggested for a while now that the PS4 is a higher performing next-gen console than the Xbox One. That has been countered by certain respected individuals who say they are basically the same, but it looks likely that even if they are very close in terms of performance, the PS4 is proving easier to work with.
Call of Duty: Ghosts is a good example of this. Preview videos of the game are taken from the PS4 version, not Xbox One. Typically developers will show off the best version of their game pre-launch, and it is thought that the PS4 version runs at 1080p. The Xbox One version is only 720p.
That is just a rumor, however, but one given credit by the fact Microsoft is evading confirming or denying Ghosts will be a 720p game on Xbox One. Sony on the other hand has already confirmed a native 1080p resolution for the game.
In fact, it looks likely several launch games may be 720p on Xbox One, including Titanfall. Eurogamer has also done extensive testing using a pre-release copy of Battlefield 4 on next-gen consoles. The Xbox One version runs at 1280 x 720, where as the PS4 manages 1600 x 900. That game also uses some artificial detail boosting to try and increase the overall quality of the graphics with varying success on the Xbox One. Still, that's very hard to see on a compressed YouTube video:
It is important to stress that we are talking about launch games here. Remember when the PS3 and Xbox 360 launched? PS3 games looked terrible next to the 360 versions, but developers working with Sony's hardware did eventually catch up. The same is likely to be true this generation, but the roles are reversed. Sony seems to have an early advantage in terms of hardware performance and/or easy optimization and library maturity.
Chances are, if you pick up either console and a few multiplatform games you'd be impressed with the visuals. But inevitably gaming review websites will do the comparisons, produce the videos, and ultimately show us where each console excels or falls down. For launch games it is sounding like Microsoft may be the one to suffer most.
Now read: Call of Duty: Ghosts needs 50GB of hard drive space, blame 4K gaming

Home > News & Media > News > Abnormal Mammogram? Get follow-up testing, but don't panic
Published on June 11, 2014
SIOUX FALLS (June 1, 2014) The vast majority of women can button up their blouses after an annual screening mammogram, knowing they're "done" for another year. Yet there are those few who get that call recommending follow-up testing.
If that happens to you, don't panic. "According to the American Cancer Society, only about 10 percent of those who are called back need a biopsy, and of those biopsies, 70 percent are not cancer," said Josie Alpers, MD, with Avera Medical Group Radiology Sioux Falls.
Patients can be quick to jump to conclusions, but there are many reasons why results of a screening mammogram need to be investigated further. "It could be overlapping, dense tissue. It could be a cyst or a fluid-filled pocket. If it is a mass or tumor, there are far more benign tumors than cancerous tumors," Dr. Alpers said.
The first follow-up test will likely be a diagnostic mammogram, which involves additional images of the breast. Diagnostic mammograms are also ordered when a woman or her physician feels a lump, or there is localized pain in the breast.
A breast ultrasound is often conducted at the same visit as the diagnostic mammogram. "The ultrasound often will clearly indicate if the lump is a benign cyst or solid tumor," Dr. Alpers said. If it is a benign cyst, no further testing is needed.
Contrast enhanced spectrum mammography, or CESM, is another imaging tool that may help evaluate whether the condition is benign or malignant.
For this test, patients have an injection of contrast prior to the mammogram. Through a combination of low- and high-energy X-rays, the contrast agent highlights areas where there is increased blood flow – a sign that's associated with cancer.
If CESM indicates an area of suspicion, a biopsy is the next step. Most biopsies are performed using ultrasound as a guide. "We start with a 30-gauge needle, which is smaller than a flu shot," Dr. Alpers said. The area is numbed locally.
If the area of suspicion is not visible on the ultrasound or involves calcifications, another option is a stereotactic breast biopsy. This test also involves a local anesthetic. The patient lies on her abdomen, while the breast goes through an opening on the table and is gently compressed between two plates to hold the breast in position. X-rays are used to produce stereo images – images of the same area from different angles – to determine the exact location of the biopsy.
Whenever a breast biopsy is performed, the physician will leave a clip, marking the area to indicate that it has already been biopsied, so it is not flagged on future mammograms. "The vast majority are benign – not cancerous," Dr. Alpers said.
The more regularly a woman gets screening mammograms, the less likely she is to be called back, because radiologists compare past mammograms to present images, looking for changes. Women with dense breast tissue also tend to get called back more often. That tends to lessen with age, as the denser tissue is gradually replaced with fat.
"If you are called back for more testing, come back realizing that it's probably nothing," Dr. Alpers suggested. It's not worth "borrowing trouble," and becoming overly anxious. Even if you are one of the very few who is diagnosed with breast cancer, the disease is very treatable, and according to the American Cancer Society, five-year survival for localized disease is 99 percent.

NEW YORK, Jan. 14 (UPI) -- The latest political polls show Martin O'Malley still hanging on in the Democratic presidential race and Donald Trump increasing his GOP lead nationally.
The former Maryland governor's poll numbers continue to struggle in single digits, but it's just enough to keep him on the stage for the fourth Democratic debate Sunday. Meanwhile, GOP front-runner Donald Trump has doubled his lead nationally over his nearest rival, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz.
The new NBC News/Wall Street Journal/Marist poll found O'Malley with 5 percent support in Iowa, a distant third behind Hillary Clinton and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders with 48 percent and 45 percent, respectively. O'Malley needed to have at least 5 percent support to remain on the debate stage.
The fourth Democratic debate will be held in Charleston, S.C., at 9 p.m. Eastern Sunday on NBC.
Trump's lead among national Republican primary voters ballooned over Cruz 33 percent to 20 percent, his highest percentage so far. Third is Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, followed by Ben Carson at 12 percent. No other GOP candidate has support in the double-digits.
Just last month Trump only held a five-point lead over Cruz, 27 percent to 22 percent.

!! History Commons Alert, Exciting News
Conservative author Jonathan Kay covers the National Tea Party Convention in Nashville, Tennessee (see February 4-6, 2010), and publishes a column that states: "[I]t has become clear to me that the movement is dominated by people whose vision of the government is conspiratorial and dangerously detached from reality. It's more John Birch than John Adams." Kay, who is writing a book on alternative theories about the 9/11 attacks, is astonished at the breadth and depth of the conspiracy theories that many tea parties, and tea party organizations, seem to embrace. The "villain list," as Kay calls it, includes banks; bailed-out corporations; Republican Party leaders such as RNC chairman Michael Steele, whom they feel ignore the tea parties; colleges and universities; CNN's Anderson Cooper; Fox News pundits like Bill O'Reilly who scorn them; "big media" outlets such as the Washington Post; and even moviemakers like James Cameron, who make movies that they feel contain "hidden messages" to fool Americans into supporting gay rights, cuts in military spending, and the like. The central figure in their net of conspiracy theories, Kay writes, is Barack Obama (see May 7, 2010). The convention is opened by anti-environmentalist Steve Malloy, who accuses Obama and his administration of working to control every aspect of Americans' lives, from the colors of their cars to the temperatures to which they set their home heating units, all to comply with what Malloy says is the United Nations's greenhouse gas-reduction program. According to Malloy: "Obama isn't a US socialist. He's an international socialist. He envisions a one-world government." Kay is particularly concerned that, based on what he hears at the convention, the tea parties are affiliating themselves with far-right, white supremacist ideology such as that espoused by the John Birch Society (see March 10, 1961 and December 2011). They seem particularly enamored of the "New World Order" conspiracy (see September 11, 1990, November 5, 2008, March 17, 2009, March 18, 2009, March 24, 2009, March 24, 2009, and April 6, 2009). A convention speaker, former judge Roy Moore, tells his listeners that Obama intends to station "a UN guard in every house[hold]." Radio host Alex Jones is a favorite among tea partiers, Kay writes; Jones claims that Obama's presidency is a plot by the leaders of the New World Order to "con the Amercican people into accepting global slavery." One conventioneer tells Kay that Washington liberals "engineered the financial crash so they could destroy the value of the US dollar, pay off America's debts with worthless paper, and then create a new currency called the Amero that would be used in a newly created 'North American Currency Union' with Canada and Mexico." Shortly thereafter, the convention shows a "documentary" entitled Generation Zero that makes similar claims. The claims that Obama is a Kenyan who is ineligible to be president is a favorite theory, Kay writes; WorldNetDaily publisher Joseph Farah (see August 1, 2008 and After, December 5, 2008, May 28, 2009, July 21, 2009, and August 1-4, 2009) tells the crowd that the circumstances of Obama's birth are more mysterious than the birth of Jesus Christ, and says, "My dream is that if Barack Obama seeks reelection in 2012 that he won't be able to go to any city, any city, any town in America without seeing signs that ask, 'Where's the birth certificate?'" (see May 18, 2009). Kay concludes: "Perhaps the most distressing part of all is that few media observers bothered to catalog these bizarre, conspiracist outbursts, and instead fixated on Sarah Palin's Saturday night keynote address. It is as if, in the current overheated political atmosphere, we all simply have come to expect that radicalized conservatives will behave like unhinged paranoiacs when they collect in the same room. That doesn't say much for the state of the right in America. The tea partiers' tricornered hat is supposed to be a symbol of patriotism and constitutional first principles. But when you take a closer look, all you find is a helmet made of tin foil." [National Tea Party Convention, 2/2010; Newsweek, 2/8/2010]

Mother Jones columnist Kevin Drum compares the "tea party" movement to earlier organizations, each formed, he writes, to oppose Democratic presidencies. "[T]oo many observers mistakenly react to the tea party as if it's brand new, an organic and spontaneous response to something unique in the current political climate," he writes. "But it's not. It's not a response to the recession or to health care reform or to some kind of spectacular new liberal overreach. It's what happens whenever a Democrat takes over the White House. When FDR was in office in the 1930s, conservative zealotry coalesced in the Liberty League (see August 23, 1934 and After). When JFK won the presidency in the '60s, the John Birch Society flourished (see November 1963). When Bill Clinton ended the Reagan Revolution in the '90s, talk radio erupted with the conspiracy theories of the Arkansas Project. And today, with Barack Obama in the Oval Office, it's the tea party's turn." While differences between the various groups are substantive, Drum writes, the similarities are overwhelming. Drum notes that industrialist Fred Koch, an early backer of the Birchers (see 1940 and After), gave way to his sons, David and Charles Koch, who helped launch the organization that would become FreedomWorks and Americans for Prosperity, both of which are major funders and organizers of the tea party movement (see 1979-1980 and 1984 and After). Tea partiers rely on a 50-year-old radical reinterpretation of the Constitution, W. Cleon Skousen's The 5000 Year Leap; Skousen's anti-Communist polemics were popular with the Birchers. And Robert Welch, the founder of the John Birch Society (JBS—see March 10, 1961 and December 2011), believed that the 17th Amendment, which affirms the direct election of US senators, was what Drum calls "a poisonous concentration of power in the federal government." Tea partiers and Fox News hosts hawk this same theory today (see October 16, 2009, April 8, 2010, and June 11, 2010). Drum writes that, far from being motivated by personal economic hardship (tea party supporters tend to be more affluent and less affected by the economic downturn than the average American—see April 14, 2010) or even because of a dislike of President Obama because of his race, the tea party exists because "[e]ver since the 1930s, something very much like the tea party movement has fluoresced every time a Democrat wins the presidency, and the nature of the fluorescence always follows many of the same broad contours: a reverence for the Constitution, a supposedly spontaneous uprising of formerly nonpolitical middle-class activists, a preoccupation with socialism and the expanding tyranny of big government, a bitterness toward an underclass viewed as unwilling to work, and a weakness for outlandish conspiracy theories." Constitutional 'Purity' - One similarity is the focus of each group on what they term the "purity" or "sanctity" of the US Constitution, even as they apply their sometimes-radical reinterpretations of constitutional mandates. "The Liberty Leaguers… spoke of it with 'worshipful intensity,'" Drum writes. "The John Birch Society—which is enjoying a renaissance of sorts today (see July 22, 2007, August 4, 2008, October 10, 2008, April 13, 2009, April 19, 2010, and August 24, 2010)—says of itself, 'From its earliest days the John Birch Society has emphasized the importance of the Constitution for securing our freedom.' And… study groups dedicated to the Constitution have mushroomed among tea partiers" (see May 2010). Fear of 'Creeping Socialism' and Tyranny - Drum writes: "Other shared tropes include a fear of 'losing the country we grew up in,' an obsession with 'parasites' who are leeching off of hardworking Americans, and—even though they've always received copious assistance from business interests and political operatives—a myth that the movement is composed entirely of fed-up grassroots amateurs" (see 1984 and After, Late 2004, January 2009 and After, February 17, 2009, February 19, 2009 and After, March 13, 2009 and After, April 14, 2009, April 15, 2009, May 29, 2009, July 27, 2009, August 4, 2009, August 5, 2009, July 3-4, 2010, and August 30, 2010). Above all, though, is the recurring theme of "creeping socialism and a federal government that's destroying our freedoms." The American Liberty League fought to stop the Roosevelt administration from establishing Social Security, the Works Progress Administration (WPA), and what Drum calls an "alphabet soup of new regulatory agencies." In the 1960s, the John Birch Society (JBS) felt the government was being overrun by Communism and "collectivism." Drum notes that JBS founder Robert Welch's mantra, "Less government and more responsibility," echoes central tenets of tea party beliefs. In the 1990s, then-Representative Newt Gingrich (R-GA) became House Speaker in large part because of his opposition to the Clinton administration and his leadership in the right's battle to defund federal social-net programs. Today, tea partiers echo the JBS in their insistence that Obama is a closet Marxist or socialist, and echo fears from earlier groups that Obama, the Democrat, intends to turn American democracy into a tyranny. Conspiracy Theories - Drum echoes conservative writer Jonathan Kay by noting the tea partiers' "insatiable appetite for conspiracy theories" (see February 4-8, 2010). Welch argued that the federal government was bowing to Communist manipulation by fluoridating the water supply (see 1945 and After), but more importantly, promoted the idea that a mysterious group of "insiders" had been running the world since at least 1776, when the Illuminati took over most European governments. The "insiders" continued their influence, Welch avowed, through the years, taking over France after the French Revolution, Russia and other nations after the advent of Communism, and continued to exercise control through such organs as the United Nations, the Council on Foreign Relations, and the Trilateral Commission. The same groups are at the center of many conspiracy theories embraced by numerous tea partiers. Drum points out the fondness of the "anti-Clinton zealots" for their "colorful and ever-growing bestiary of shadowy plots," most surrounding their belief that Clinton was a rapist, a murderer, and a drug peddler. Similar conspiracy theories were promulgated by the JBS about John Kennedy. "Today's conspiracy theories are different in detail but no less wacky—and no less widespread," Drum writes. The "birther" conspiracy theory, which holds that Obama is not a natural-born citizen, is quite popular with tea party supporters, and many more believe that Obama intends to place conservatives such as themselves in internment camps, a theory peddled by the JBS in the early 1960s. And many believe that ACORN (the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now), the now-defunct community service organization, somehow took control of the Democratic Party, destroyed banks by forcing them to make loans to indigent minorities, crashed the economy, and installed Obama into power. Effectiveness Improving over Time - Drum writes that each iteration of this right-wing phenomenon is more successful than the last. The Liberty League made no impact whatsoever on President Roosevelt's 1936 re-election attempt. In 1964, the JBS succeeded in helping right-wing libertarian candidate Barry Goldwater (R-AZ) win the Republican presidential nomination. In the 1990s, Gingrich rode the wave of far-right activism to become speaker of the House, and the activism culminated in the impeachment of President Clinton and the election of President George W. Bush. Drum predicts that the latest wave, the tea party movement, will for all intents and purposes take over the Republican Party. In each iteration, moderate Republicans resisted the wave of right-wing change, but, Drum believes, not enough moderate Republicans exist in any position of power to resist the tea party transformation. The GOP has been shifting ever rightward since the 1970s, Drum notes, and the tea party movement has profited from a transformed media environment, where it can present its ideology almost nonstop on Fox News and rely on social media such as Facebook to connect with new recruits. Drum calls the paradigm shift "the mainstreaming of extremism." In 1961, Time magazine disparaged the JBS as "tiresome" (see March 10, 1961); in 2009, it hailed Fox News personality Glenn Beck as "gifted." Moderates have virtually no chance in today's environment of pushing back against the tea party's rightward surge. "Unlike the Birchers, or even the Clinton conspiracy theorists, the tea partiers aren't a fringe part of the conservative movement," Drum writes. "They are the conservative movement." Drum believes that even with all the tea party's current success, it will eventually burn itself out, "while its broader identity becomes subsumed by a Republican Party that's been headed down the path of ever less-tolerant conservatism for decades. In that sense, the tea party movement is merely an unusually flamboyant symptom of an illness that's been breeding for a long time." [Mother Jones, 9/2010]

Carter improved dramatically in 1991, helping the Blue Jays win the division title. In 1992, he helped the Jays win their first World Series championship, the first ever won by a Canadian-based team. Carter himself hit two home runs and made the final out of the Series.
In 1993, the Blue Jays again reached the World Series, facing the Philadelphia Phillies. In Game Six, with the Blue Jays leading three games to two, Carter came to bat in the bottom of the ninth inning with the Blue Jays losing 6-5 and Rickey Henderson and Paul Molitor on base. On a 2-2 count, Carter hit a three-run home run off Phillies pitcher Mitch Williams to win the World Series, one of only two times a World Series has ended with a home run (the other being in 1960, when Bill Mazeroski did it), and the only time the home run has been hit by a player whose team was losing.
Carter was named to five All-Star teams. In his career he hit 396 home runs and drove in 1,445 RBI. He drove in 100 runs in a season ten times.
Joe Carter is highly regarded for his dedication to his religion.
On Honoring Jesus:
"I am thankful and I give honor to God and to my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. And I say that because you see a lot of athletes nowadays on TV say, 'I want to thank God for the game that I had and thank God for what he's done for me.' But what God are they really talking about? I found myself listening to that and said, 'I want to be different, because I want to leave no doubt as to who I am talking about and who I'm serving and that is my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.' I want to really emphasize that because He is the true leader of my life and that's the way I want to be remembered."

Sourcing an insurance provider
Like with any other insurance product, tax investigation insurance starts with you searching for a credible provider in the market. Due to its nature, this form of insurance is not offered by all insurance companies. In fact, most general insurance companies do not provide it in most cases. Being a highly specialized insurance product, it is only offered by certain firms that mostly deal with accounting insurance and tax related risks. You can search online for a provider or you can make inquiries from tax and accounting firms/organizations.
Securing a cover
There are two ways to acquire a tax investigation insurance cover. One, you can seek a direct over where your company gets insured against the risk. In case you need to tax investigative services, the insurer will compensate you for incurred costs or pay the affiliated company directly. Alternatively, you can get the same benefits by working with a tax accounting firm that has the same form of insurance cover. You don't get to pay any premiums and instead, you enjoy the cover taken up by the firm you're seeking services from. That is, their insurer pays them for your costs.
Claiming your cover
Once you have secured a tax investigation insurance cover you can redeem it any time you are engrossed in a tax audit, a tax investigation, and accounting enquiry or even a tax filing. As a business, all you have to do is make a claim and your insurer will make the agreed payment percentage on your behalf. For accounting services providers, they get paid any time they provide the service to their clients; that is as opposed to their clients paying them directly.
Benefits of tax investigative insurance
If you are mulling whether to take up tax investigation insurance or not, this part of the article will explain to you exactly why you should.
- Avoid payment conflicts with clients
For companies that provide tax accounting services to others, this type of cover allows them to receive payment promptly and directly from the insurance company. This sort of arrangement conveniently eliminates payment conflicts between the company and its clients.
- Save on audit costs
For client companies that are seeking the tax audit services, this type of insurance cover helps them to save on costs. Tax audits and tax investigations can cost a lot of money. However, with this cover in place, such companies can get full compensation by just paying thy agreed upon premiums.
- Secure the best accountancy possible during investigation
Lastly, a tax investigation insurance policy allows client companies to enjoy the best professional tax/accounting services in the industry without having to worry about the cost factor.

Based in Lithgow and formed in 1984, the Central Tablelands Mountain Bike Club was one of, if not the first stand-alone mountain bike clubs in Australia. Our members were actively involved in the formation of our sports first governing body, AMBA, and have been vocal in the sports development ever since.
After some major races throughout the late 1990s culminating in a National XC round in 1999, NSWs first 6hr in 2000 and the Oceania DH Championships in 2001 the club began to wan and was eventually put on hiatus. In 2004 the club was revived and has since gone on to bigger and better things.
The Revival
In 2004 as small group, Craig Flynn, Brett Egan, Matt and Gary Walker and Luke Mouatt, got together and decided to revive the club. In March of that year, along with BOP's Stu Plant, we hosted the inaugural round of the Bright Orange Promotions Working Week Series. A new format of team based 8hr races. That race attracted 198 riders, becoming the biggest mountain bike race seen in our region that far. Since then over 3000 individuals have taken part on the 5 annual 8hr races held throughout the state. Our 2006 round attracted 350 riders including members of the Belgium road team, who were using the event for secret training.
Also in 2004 we worked with the State Mine Heritage Park and Railway to create a new Down hill Track at their great venue. This was used to host a NSW State round, which was acclaimed aa a huge success. So successful in fact that we were then asked to take over a National round from CCOMBC who were experiencing difficulty with land access.
Despite still having only 5 active members we rose to the challenge and in January 2005 we put on a fantastic event witht he help of The Humphreys from WSMTB, the Grundies form CCOMTB and The Prohms of WMTB. The race attracted some of the best riders in the world from as far away a France, Canada and Japan. The podium was made up 3 of former Junior World Champions lead by former World Cup series winner, Nathan Rennie and the U19 winner, Amiel Cavileer went on to become 2005 Junior world Champion.
We then went on to host the 2005 State Championships. With the popularity of the venue and our reputation for providing quality events spreading we were looking forward to increased rider numbers for 2006 NSW DH Round #2 but nothing had prepared us for the sheer number of riders that registered for the Event.
The 250 Down Hill entrants made it the biggest NSW state race in history and a further 20 Observed Trials entrants took the total up to 270 entrants.
The DH #1 of 2006-2007 National series held on the 28th and 29th of October 2006 had 320 riders, making it the biggests non chairlifted round and dispite a disappointing end, where a acciedent casue delays onthe track and evenutaly the cancelation of final runs, the event was well recieved..<.p>
Junior Development
We have always shown keen interest in the development of our younger riders, helping develop the skills and confidence to proceed in our sport. This has lead to our races enjoying a far higher percentage of junior competitors and initiatives such as our easier short course races have seen riders as young as 8 participating in Down Hill
The 2005 state championships saw 3 Lithgow kids, Cody "Disco" Strickland, Kallan Boyd and Jarrad Boyd standing on the podium in the junior hard tail class.
In 2006 we helped 4 of our young members, Brad Morris, Max Mckinny and Kallan and Jarrad Boyd achieve their goal of competing in the Australian interschools competition held in Thredbo. Despite the school failing to give them official endorsement the boys proudly represented Lithgow high and we aided them financially by paying their entry fee.
The Future
As well as continuing to bid for major events we are currently negotiating with relevant land managers to provide a greater network of quality trails to help promote our region as a mountain biking destination. For 2007 we are hoping to concentrate of club racing and provide a more regular local racing scene.
Promoting our Area
Since 2004 we have had almost 2000 race entrants. The vast majority of these have been non-locals (The club still has less than 50 local members). As the bigger events are staged over 2 days most of these stay over night, some have stayed up to a week prior to the event to practice on our trails. These riders bring friends and family members to act as support crew and on average we have one spectator per rider. That's a lot of people to our local area and that only includes race weekends.
Many come back bringing non-racing friends, on any given weekend car loads of mountain bikers make the trip up from Sydney and further afield to ride the State Mine track.
Cycle tourism is a rapidly growing niche market. No longer are bikes thrown in as an after thought, more and more people are planning their holiday around their riding opportunities. In the UK, Forest Wales has been hugely successful in tapping into the market with the diverse, maintained trail network.
In each of the last 5 years in Australia bicycle sales have outstripped car sales. In 2005 Australians purchased over 1 million bikes.
We believe with our fantastic natural terrain, the growing popularity of our trails and close proximity of Australia's major population base, Sydney, we have the potential for Lithgow to become the Mounting biking Mecca of Australia.
Our long term goal is to make available a network of signed trails in our surrounds that will appeal to the broad range of off road riding experiences.
TV and the Media
Along with word of mouth and our own web page we have been successful in attracting media attention. All of our major races have been covered by Local News crews and each of our Endurance, State and National level races have been covered in magazines such as Revolution, AMB, Sticks and CLICT.
There were segments dedicated to our 2005 and 2006 National races in professional DVDs such as Clict video magazine and Drift 3, both sold internationaly.
We were also successful in getting that race covered by SBS's Cycling Central. The CC crew shot three other stories whilst in the area so we had riding in our local area highlighted on national TV for 4 weeks in a row. This saw a surge in the interest in our casual riding opportunities.
With the help of MTBA media co ordinator the The 2006 race was favoured with wide spread mainstream media coverage.
Continuing on our 2007 State race was attended to Ralph TV, unfortunitely this seems to have pulled off air before our segment went to air.

Gary Walker is one of the Countries top Commisaires
Mat Walker and Mick Stains are Tenical Deligates
and Craig Flynn is an guiding member of the newly formed NSWMTB

Excerpt HERE
Release Date: October 30, 2012
Purchase: Amazon | Barnes & Noble | Book Depository
The year is 1 AWC—After the Wall Crash. The Fae are free and hunting us. It's a war zone out there, and no two days are alike. I'm Dani O'Malley, the chaos-filled streets of Dublin are my home, and there's no place I'd rather be.
Dani "Mega" O'Malley plays by her own set of rules—and in a world overrun by Dark Fae, her biggest rule is: Do what it takes to survive. Possessing rare talents and the all-powerful Sword of Light, Dani is more than equipped for the task. In fact, she's one of the rare humans who can defend themselves against the Unseelie. But now, amid the pandemonium, her greatest gifts have turned into serious liabilities.
Dani's ex–best friend, MacKayla Lane, wants her dead, the terrifying Unseelie princes have put a price on her head, and Inspector Jayne, the head of the police force, is after her sword and will stop at nothing to get it. What's more, people are being mysteriously frozen to death all over the city, encased on the spot in sub-zero, icy tableaux.
When Dublin's most seductive nightclub gets blanketed in hoarfrost, Dani finds herself at the mercy of Ryodan, the club's ruthless, immortal owner. He needs her quick wit and exceptional skill to figure out what's freezing Fae and humans dead in their tracks—and Ryodan will do anything to ensure her compliance.
Dodging bullets, fangs, and fists, Dani must strike treacherous bargains and make desperate alliances to save her beloved Dublin—before everything and everyone in it gets iced.
"Jericho Barrons is an animal. Pure lawless beast. Not so Ryodan. Dude's a machine."
"Barrons breaks heads. Ryodan turns them inside out. Barrons f*cks you up. Ryodan makes you f*ck yourself up. He pushes buttons and rearranges things according to his own private, coolly sociopathic plan."

Union Properties set to raise capital through an initial public offering of ServeU, its facilities management subsidiary
Union Properties has announced its intention to raise capital through an initial public offering (IPO) of the shares of ServeU, its facilities management subsidiary, in the second half of 2018.
The company said it will list the ServeU shares on Dubai Financial Market (DFM) and invest the proceeds from the IPO to enhance Union Properties' operations and develop its investment portfolio.
Established in 1985, ServeU's services include property maintenance, general maintenance, security, cleaning, waste transportation and landscaping.
The move comes as part of Union Properties' recently adopted strategy, which focuses on enhancing its investments, diversifying revenue sources and expanding into new markets.
Ahmed Yousef Khouri, group CEO of Union Properties, said: "2018 marks a new phase of development and growth for Union Properties. After the Group's extensive changes in management, structure and strategy in 2017, the company now has a unique position that will help it continue to strengthen its portfolio, diversify its revenue streams and enter new markets in the Middle East and beyond."
He added: "ServeU is one of Union Properties' leading companies and it occupies a very prominent position in the facilities management sector. Over the past three decades, ServeU has proven its ability to provide professional, reliable and efficient services. We believe that ServeU is ready to be publicly listed at a time when Union Properties is heading towards a new era of growth and expansion."
Union Properties also established two fully-owned subsidiary companies in the third quarter of 2017 - Union Malls, which offers retail and leisure options in Union Properties developments, and Al Etihad Hotel Management, which develops and manages luxury hotels and furnished residences in Dubai.
In October, Union Properties also announced the formation of a new investment arm, UPP Capital Investment. The new entity specialises in direct and indirect property investments, and provides in-house expertise to support Union Properties' long-term growth strategy.

It's bad enough having to call your real estate litigator. But it's worse when he or she tells you that your lease is missing some critical provision that would help you in your current dispute. Every commercial lease is different, but there are provisions that most leases do or should have. Here are 10 provisions your litigator wants to see in your lease.
1. Everything in writing. If the lease isn't in writing, the parties may have bigger problems than missing provisions. Get it in writing and make sure the lease requires that all amendments are in writing and must be signed by the landlord and the tenant.
2. You'll get paid – I guaranty it. This one is for landlords. When possible, get a guaranty. If the tenant defaults on rent, there's a good chance it's because the business is in trouble, which means it will be tough to collect unpaid rent. A guarantor helps mitigate that risk. If the guarantor is an individual, try and get a guaranty from his or her spouse too. Of course, large commercial tenants generally do not provide guaranties, often leaving the landlord as a creditor in a bankruptcy. Just ask Sports Authority's landlords.
3. This is what it looked like when I got here. Specify in what condition the tenant must return the space to the landlord at the end of the term or on termination of the lease.
4. What can the tenant do with the space? Commercial leases typically state how the tenant can use the space. Landlords and tenants should consider whether to designate the tenant's particular use as required (i.e., limit the tenant to a specified use) or permissive (typically giving the tenant some discretion as to its use of the space). It can make a difference.
5. How is that a breach? Some defaults, like failing to pay rent, are obvious. But there are many other obligations that the landlord or tenant may deem to be material or significant. The lease should be unequivocal about what constitutes an event of default by each party, and whether there is a cure period, and if so, what that is.
6. Pass through costs. Commercial leases typically provide that costs relating to common areas be passed through to tenants, usually pro rata (proportionately) based on the percentage of the overall property that the tenant occupies. This includes common area maintenance (often called "CAM"), and real estate taxes. A landlord can pass through only what the lease allows, so a lease should be specific on this point.
7. It's not you; it's me. Landlords typically want to maintain control over the tenant's right to assign the lease or sublease the space. A lease should specify the landlord and tenant's rights with respect to assignments and subleases.
8. I need a remedy. What happens when the landlord or tenant defaults? The remedies section for both parties needs to be specific. In many instances, Florida law will fill in the gaps where the lease does not.
9. Where will an eventual lawsuit be? Don't leave any doubt as to where you can sue the other party or where you can be sued. Agree on jurisdiction (usually the state where the property is) and venue (usually the county where the property is).
10. I won, now pay my fees. By default, each party pays its own attorneys' fees, regardless of outcome. The exceptions are when a statute or contract provides otherwise. A commercial lease should provide that the prevailing party in litigation can recoup its attorneys' fees and litigation costs from the losing party.
