What was supposed to be a procedural day of the trial – big question was if facts were to be read in court or not – and with the expected discussions about them as they became known, turned out to be quite an intense and interesting day because some just came to conclusions in a hasty manner.
Wednesday's activity was so frantic on both sides of the fence that it was like watching a crowd doing a standing ovation to an orchestra that was just tuning its instruments before a concert.
The concert was far from starting and the various critics were already acclaiming or criticising the orchestra's performance.
Fascinating how some people failed to understand the expression "more to follow" and came to definite conclusions even before that "more" arrived.
And even more fascinating was how on the sound of the first notes played – we repeat in tuning instruments only – some just hailed the magnificence of the entire evening.
To be clear, very clear, Wednesday, in terms of the actual McCann v Amaral trial no one has won and no one has lost.
However one cannot but note, as we will explain, that the sounds made by some instruments during the tuning do make things look good for Mr Amaral but it's never enough to stress again and again that only when the sentence is read can a definite conclusion be made about this trial.
The date of the concert is yet to be set. And it won't be for the next 40 days at least, it seems. Up to 30 for the WoC issue, to hand, we suppose by Correia Afonso, over the London Court's authorisation to have Madeleine McCann represented by her parents in this trial and the following 10 for the "allegations of law" from all parties.
The Portuguese justice system has made us be very wary, so until then we will refrain from making conclusions about it.
As we explained in our post "Losing v Winning", Mr Amaral cannot win this process. He can only not lose it.
But the fact that people are already stating that Mr Amaral will win, is very symptomatic.
That is done because there is indeed a sense of victory in case he doesn't lose and because there's a sense that if the McCanns don't win they will have suffered a heavy defeat.
But both sensations only exist due to the fragile situation in which the McCanns have been since 2011. In fact as of 2010 as we'll explain.
If all this took place in 2010, when Jim Gamble ran the show as we think he did, it's our opinion that if the McCanns didn't win we would simply get a repeat of what happened with the unnoticed overturning of the book's banning by the Appeal Court.
Only now, years later and with this trial, are people realising that the book hasn't been banned for years.
The Portuguese justice system would have been slandered, Portugal called an insensitive, cruel and fascist country and the McCanns would continue to be beatified in the UK.
But Jim Gamble was convinced to "relieve" himself of duties since 2010.
With their man removed from any official structure, the Swinging BH lost hold of the case and that control was then taken by the Government BH.
And it's in the interest of the Government BH that the McCanns fall and fall hard in this trial as we'll also explain.
For the Swinging BH, the McCanns matter only as much as they serve their interests. If there's the possibility of having them prosecuted without implicating anyone else besides their group of friends, then it's fine the McCanns and friends are taken away and locked up somewhere. That not being possible then the only other option acceptable is the whitewashing and that means that's in their interest the McCanns remain above the waterline.
For the Swinging BH closure it can only be one of these two options: T9 only or whitewashing. Any other isn't acceptable to them, and they will put up a fight.
Wednesday had the virtue to bring victories to both Government BH and GA. Both have won decisive victories. Independent of sentence.
All because the McCann ship as of Wednesday is beyond repair. It took a fatal blow to its hull. If the McCanns have always counted for little up to now, now they count for even less.
The Swinging BH side are now only worried about their own skin.
Let's rewind a bit and contextualise things.
In 2010, Government BH decided to get closure on this issue. Convinced by the Media, as in News International and more specifically NOTW, that prosecuting the McCanns would be a piece of cake, decided to reopen the case as soon as Kate wrote her self-damning book.
Along the way they retook control by making sure Jim Gamble no longer ran the show as we've said.
Not having anyone in the structure of command – Government had meanwhile changed from Labour to Conservative – is not to be in the loop and not to be in the loop is always fatal.
The reopening caught the swinging BH by surprise and prompted them to react.
And they quickly reminded the Government BH that UK was up to its neck in the mess and arresting McCanns implicating others would only pop open very inconvenient Pandora's Boxes.
Government BH quickly realised that they couldn't hasten things up and that the only solution to closure, as there simply is no scenario possible to incriminate only the McCanns and the T7 without involving external help, it would have to be with the Swinging BH on board.
To have them on board meant closure would have to be whitewashing. The only other one that served them.
But reality doesn't play games, and as we have explained, whitewashing was impossible from the start.
The closest they could get to such a solution would be the bungled burglary.
On the drawing board it looked good but as anyone could see from a mile away, the casting was completely impossible.
For a long time the case remained stalemate as we know. Until up to a certain point in time when Government BH decided to proceed for closure via the only viable solution: the partial truth.
Knowing this was unacceptable for the Swinging BH all had to be done without haste. And keeping the Swinging BH on board the longest time possible.
As whitewashing looked good on the drawing board, Government BH pursued it publicly and so appeased the Swinging BH, while discreetly, without haste, eroding without remedy the hoax their "allies" had created back in 2007 with the collaboration of the UK Government in power then.
Few noticed how the noose was slowly, slowly tightening around the Swinging BH necks. We kept telling people but many thought we were just seeing things.
One of the first things that needed to be done, was to stop all "business" the McCanns had in Portugal.
Team McCann was ordered to not win.
But not just not win – for that all they had to do was find a "humane" excuse to spare Mr Amaral of further distress and drop the case – but to not win in a vexatious manner.
This was in January 2013. When they offered Mr Amaral to settle out of court.
One could try and say "when prosecution offers defense a settlement outside court it's because they are certain they will not win" but one simply cannot do that because it's something completely unseen before the McCanns did it.
This was the first move to humiliate the McCanns.
It was obvious that Mr Amaral would not accept the offer. If anything, it gave him positive signs that things were going to go his way.
The trial was rigged from then on.
No, not even suggesting anything about the Portuguese courts or about the judge. The trial was rigged by the prosecution. When one of the contenders is determined in not winning then the whole thing is rigged.
From September 2013 up to now, we have been forced to watch this pathetic show with one side going through the motions with no conviction whatsoever.
In September 2014, may we remind you, the Swinging BH launched their major last offensive, the Hater Campaign, which was stopped by the disgraceful reporting done by Martin Brunt for Sky News, which led, in our opinion, to Brenda Leyland's death.
This Black Hat September episode showed how Jim Gamble remained an influential element for the Swinging BH.
But, notwithstanding Brenda's death, the fact that SY stood its ground by standing behind their Crèche Dad against Bundleman during this crucial period showed that the Swinging BH were much less influential than they thought.
Plus, if the Black-Hat September was turbulent, it would have been much more if all had gone as planned: the SY questionings were supposed to have taken place during that month, which means it would have been in that period that the Robert Murat card – or the death of the whitewashing – would have been played by the Met.
Also it was supposed to have been during that month the final allegations of the McCann v Amaral were to have happened. When prosecution would bring such valid arguments as off-season rabbit hunting and Sunday Carnival.
With the software problem that afflicted it's justice system then, Portugal unwittingly "boycotted" 2/3 of the Government BH's moves for that month. Swinging BH had their path practically unhampered.
Thank goodness for the collective incompetence of the Gamble – Summers & Swan – Brunt trilogy who were able to implode themselves without any help.
The significant and humiliating defeat of this campaign allowed the Government BH to take advantage of the upper hand and anticipate a move: the forensics. Asking publicly for it before even sending the required rogatory letter-
The Swinging BH on a steep slope on their way down while the Government BH marched on.
SY questionings brought all groups into the spotlight: Swinging organising structure, Ocean Club, guests and ex-pats.
Final allegations was an absolute shame for the McCanns, as desired by Government BH.
So the expectation for Wednesday was great. Would, although all the efforts to the contrary, the Portuguese find proven facts that could provide the McCanns a victory?
The first report to come out, as far as we know, was this one from Lusa and published by Diário de Noticias Online:
This report was quickly translated by Joana Morais on twitter:
As it said "Court accepts as proven damages caused by Gonçalo Amaral's book to Kate and Gerry McCann" it disheartened many reading this.
Some despaired. Some, very unjustly, simply shot the messenger, Joana Morais. She simply translated a piece of news. Yes, it was bad news to our side of the cause but it was but a translation.
Why no UK reporters in situ?
What we found interesting was what happened next based solely on this little piece of information.
The UK Media, starting with Sky News and Martin Brunt, started to spin this without waiting any further confirmation.
The McCanns had won, it was announced.
There hadn't been any sort of sentence but the McCanns had won, that simple. That straighforward.
Based on a false assumption that the trial was under judicial secrecy the UK started to sell the story of victory. Swinging BH were boasting before confirming facts. They have so little to hold on to that anything will do.
Supposedly, they thought, the judicial secrecy would stop details of Proven/Not Proven facts to be publicly known much like we still don't know who was and who wasn't arguido in the SY Questionings.
The problem is that the SY Questionings are under judicial secrecy while the trial isn't.
Once those papers that were handed out by the judge were in the hands of the defense lawyers it was inevitable that the proven and unproven facts would quickly appear on the internet.
And when they appeared they completely contradicted what had just been spun.
Martin Brunt, having learned his lesson from the Brenda Leyland episode, did a 180º turn and started to tweet the truth. He has proven us wrong on one thing. We thought he was allergic to the truth but as far as we know, his fingers haven't fallen off his hands after he tweeted it.
So let's look at the facts as listed here:
These were the clearly NOT PROVED facts:
#03. Defendant Gonçalo Amaral has earned from the sale of the book "Maddie, A Verdade da Mentira" an amount that is not less than € 621.000,00? and #04. Defendant Gonçalo Amaral has earned from the sale of editions in foreign languages of the book an amount that is not less than € 498.750,00? [not proven as the estimated by prosecution (1,119,750€) is more than 3 times reality (342,112€)].
#05. The book was sold in Brazil by defendant "Guerra e Paz, Editores, S.A."
#07. Defendant Gonçalo Amaral has earned from the sale of the DVD an amount that is not less than € 112.500,00 [not proven as the estimated by prosecution (112,500€) is 2.8 times reality (40,000€)].
#09. Defendant "V.C. – Valentim de Carvalho – Filmes, Audiovisuais, S.A." has already made the DVD, in an English version, available for immediate delivery via internet order.
#11. Because of the statements made by defendant Gonçalo Amaral in the book, in the documentary and in the interview to Correio da Manhã, the Polícia Judiciária stopped collecting information and investigating the disappearance of Madeleine McCann.
#12. Because of the statements made by defendant Gonçalo Amaral in the book, in the documentary and in the interview to Correio da Manhã, authors Kate McCann and Gerald McCann are completely destroyed, from a moral, social, ethical, sentimental, family point of view, much beyond the pain that their daughter's absence causes them.
#16. Namely because of defendant Gonçalo Amaral's statements in the book, in the documentary and in the interview to Correio da Manhã, author Kate McCann is immerged in a deep and serious depression, which has already made her state publicly "I wish I was in a coma, to relieve the pain"
#21. The criminal inquiry was reopened due to the appearance of new evidence [we consider this "not proved" as a statement by the court claiming ignorance as to the reasons case was reopened rather than stating that the case was reopened just on "old" evidence"].
#22. The attention of the media and of people in general diminished when defendant Gonçalo Amaral's book was published.
#35b. The distribution for sale of book took place in conjunction with the distribution for sale of the newspaper Correio da Manhã's edition of April 24, 2009.
So, completely clear that it was NOT PROVED to the couurt that Mr Amaral caused moral, social or ethical damages on the McCanns.
Completely NOT PROVED that Mr Amaral didn't stop PJ from collecting information and investigating the disappearance of Madeleine McCann
These were the clearly PROVED facts::
#01. Gonçalo Amaral made the statements that are attributed to him under item Z - item Z is the Correio da Manhã interview
#02. The cover price of the book "Maddie, A Verdade da Mentira" in Portugal is € 13.80, including VAT [we consider irrelevant a 0.47€ difference (real price 13.33€)].
#06. The DVD has a cover price of € 6,00 [we consider irrelevant the difference of 0.95€ - real price 6.95€)].
#08. The DVD that is mentioned under AN) has been edited and the edited copies have been sold by defendant "V.C. – Valentim de Carvalho – Filmes, Audiovisuais, S.A."
#10. At least two million and two hundred thousand people have watched the programme that was broadcast on 13.4.2009
#15. Authors Kate McCann and Gerald McCann live under enormous daily pressure due to the need to keep their younger children away from the knowledge of defendant Gonçalo Amaral's opinions about their moral integrity
#18. 63.369 copies of the DVD were not sold, having been destroyed afterwards
#19. Defendant Gonçalo Amaral has gone into retirement from the Polícia Judiciária on 1.6.2008 [we consider irrelevant the difference of one month (1,7,2008), as either dates are before archiving of process and book's publication].
#20. On 22.6.2008, the Attorney General's Office published a note for the media, announcing the archiving of the inquiry, awaiting better evidence [we will disregard that as on June 22, 2008, there was no decision about the conditions in which case would be reopened, but consider a note with that content was issued on July 21, 2008. Besides this the note also prompted relevant diligences].
#23. The sale of the books was made on consignment, being subject to devolution for various reasons, like handling, manufacturing defects or their non-transaction [we consider irrelevant "partly sold on consignment, and partly firmly sold with a right to return for various motives"].
#24. The so-called "Maddie Case" has been profoundly treated within the Portuguese and foreign society, whether by the media, or through books, like those authored by Paulo Pereira Cristóvão, Manuel Catarino and Hernâni Carvalho.
#25. The so-called "Maddie Case" was commented upon by Dr. Francisco Moita Flores, former inspector, writer, criminalist and commentator, in various media.
#29. The social capital of defendant "V.C. – Valentim de Carvalho – Filmes, Audiovisuais, S.A." is held, in 60%, by the firm "Estúdios Valentim de Carvalho, Gravações e Audiovisuais, S.A." and, in 40%, by the Fundo de Investimento para o Cinema e o Audiovisual.
#30. Has defendant "V.C. – Valentim de Carvalho – Filmes, Audiovisuais, S.A." ceded the rights to sell, distribute, exhibit and broadcast all of the cinematographic and audiovisual work that it creates, develops and produces to the firm "Valentim de Carvalho Multimédia, S.A." [we consider irrelevant the fact that these rights were only sold for a period of 5 years].
#31. Until today, has the documentary been reproduced only once to be edited, published and sold in Portugal under video format, in this case a DVD.
#32. The reproduction and edition of the documentary in video format have been authorised by "Valentim de Carvalho Multimédia, S.A." to firm "Presslivre, Imprensa Livre, S.A.", the owner of the Correio da Manhã newspaper, according to a contract between both.
#33. Under which [contract], the DVD, its covers and packages would be, as they were, manufactured on behalf of, under order of and under the responsibility of Presslivre, in order to be distributed and sold together with newspaper Correio da Manhã.
#34. And the entire process of registering and classifying the video edition (DVD) of the documentary with ICAG would be, as it was, developed by Valentim de Carvalho Multimédia, a process whose cost would be carried by Presslivre, as it did.
#35a. The distribution for sale of documentary took place in conjunction with the distribution for sale of the newspaper Correio da Manhã's edition of April 24, 2009.
#36. The documentary was reproduced, and even subtitled in the English language, by third parties that published it on the internet, without permission and against the will of the defendant "V.C. – Valentim de Carvalho – Filmes, Audiovisuais, S.A."
#37. That illicit diffusion damages not only the rights that are held by defendant "V.C. – Valentim de Carvalho – Filmes, Audiovisuais, S.A." over the documentary, but also its commercial exploration, because any citizen can watch the documentary, also only one "click" away.
Clearly PROVEN that there were many more than the defendants that spoke publicly about the case in terms not favourable to the McCanns
These were the facts that are of UNCLEAR proof:
#17. Sean and Amelie McCann will soon become aware of the conclusions that are mentioned in J), because they will go to school. It was affirmed that it was proved that Sean and Amelie started school in August of 2010 and have not learned about Mr Amaral's thesis yet, but that doesn't clarify when does the court think the twins will be aware of conclusions of book.
#26. Authors Kate McCann and Gerald McCann have hired communication firms and spokespeople through the Madeleine Fund – for unknown reasons, the judge does not mention this item at all.
This leaves us with the following facts:
"13. Because of the statements made by defendant Gonçalo Amaral in the book, in the documentary and in the interview to Correio da Manhã, authors Kate McCann and Gerald McCann suffer permanent anguish, insomnia, lack of appetite, anxiety and irritability, preoccupation and indefinable fear?
Proved. The judge adds that this psychological state is pre-existent to the book, the documentary and the interview and was not caused by the book. Nonetheless, it cannot be reasonable to believe that the book, the documentary and the interview had no effect on the couple, i.e. It had an effect but that is perfectly normal."
The PROVED fact that spawned all the haste. However, the court by stating on the same paragraph that the effect caused is "perfectly normal" it emptied out completely any possible claim for provoked distress.
"14. Authors Kate McCann and Gerald McCann feel a deep shame and an indescribable ill-being because they are considered, by most people who know the theories of defendant Gonçalo Amaral, as having responsibility in the death of their daughter, being so cowardly that they have hidden her cadaver, simulating abduction, all of this to avoid criminal accusations?
Proved that the couple felt badly about being considered responsible over the hiding of their daughter's body and simulating her abduction by those who believe in Mr Amaral's thesis.
The judge states that it is not possible to determine what most people who have read or seen Mr Amaral's thesis actually think.
She adds that the plaintiffs failed to prove shame, even with Kate stating it was not shame that she felt.
The judge once more believes it is expected that the plaintiffs would feel badly about being considered responsible for hiding the body and staging an abduction - not, the judge stresses, about being responsible for their daughter's death, as is commonly, and mistakenly, believed."
Not only the plaintiffs weren't able to prove shame as the court finds obvious, or proved, that it was expected for them to feel bad in case they were considered responsible for hiding the body and staging an abduction.
The court is not considering them responsible for either. And uses very wisely the expression "as is commonly, and mistakenly, believed".
To believe they are responsible for hiding the body and staging an abduction is as wrong, legally, as to believe they aren't. The process has been archived and reopened. No one has been accused or declared innocent to this day by the ongoing investigations.
The judge says only it was expected they felt bad because they were accused of doing something they denied, in present case, hiding the body and staging an abduction.
Last but not least, for us the most the fundamental facts listed:
"27. Are the facts that are reported by defendant Gonçalo Amaral in the book and in the aforementioned interviews, like he himself writes and said, facts that were established during the inquiry?
28. Does the documentary only contain facts that are also in the inquiry files?
(Both articles) It is proved that the facts in the book and in the documentary, concerning the investigation, are mostly facts that took place in the investigation and are documented as such.
The judge does note that some of the facts in the book are not complete, and some facts that are in the book are not in the case files, including Jane Tanner's "informal" recognition of Robert Murat."
The judge took the book and PJ Files as consolidated pieces of evidence and read them herself. For that reason didn't allow any discussion about them in the court-room.
The court has now officially considered "proved that the facts in the book and in the documentary, concerning the investigation, are mostly facts that took place in the investigation and are documented as such.
It's in writing in an official document produced by the legitimate Portuguese Court.
For Mr Amaral it's a victory, independent of sentence the court has considered proven that what Mr Amaral says, or better, concludes in the book is based on facts documented in the investigation.
If he happens to lose, which we see as highly unlikely but will repeat that the Portuguese system has surprised us more times than we would care for, then he has a very powerful argument to use in the appeal.
If he happens to not lose, then he has the exact same argument to use when and how he decides to act against the McCanns in the future.
Ironically, the only fact listed as not being in the files, the "Jane Tanner's "informal" recognition of Robert Murat" is pretty much well detailed in Kate's book, so, certainly, NOT something they can say Mr Amaral has lied about.
We think Mr Amaral has every reason to feel satisfied at this point in time.
To those questioning why we say the Government BH has linked the pouncing on the McCanns with the Lisbon trial, here is the answer.
They needed an official ruling connecting the McCanns to whatever happened to Maddie and her body.
As we have said, the trial was rigged for the McCanns to lose. Rigged by the Government BH by ordering the McCanns to take the fall.
The court, caught in all this would have to justify why the McCanns didn't win. It would have to declare why Mr Amaral didn't have to pay a single cent to the McCanns.
And the only reason for that could only be because Mr Amaral didn't cause any damage to the McCanns with what he wrote in his book.
They got more than they bargained for. What Amaral wrote IS NOW A PROVED FACT that it is documented in the investigation.
It couldn't get any clearer. Or more damning for the McCanns.
The McCann ship is beyond repair. Impossible to recover. Impossible to whitewash.
Everyone is happy.
Oh, except some people, of course.

A gust of opportunity is blowing in New Delhi where political winds seldom remain still. In the final year of his term, as prime minister Narendra Modi and his ruling band begin the exercise of scripting a return, the beleaguered opposition has sensed a comeback.
Modi tore apart – or into - the Congress in two scathing oratorical outbursts delivered within a span of few hours in both houses of Parliament on Wednesday.
His intervention in the discussion on the presidential address was seen as a tone-setting event for the general elections due in 2019, but could be called anytime if the government chooses to exploit favourable winds.
Centred on the Modi-pole, the country's polity lies bitterly divided today.
The sardonic tone of the prime minister against the principal opposition has not just raised political temperatures, but also has given an indication about the most-likely collapse of civilities among political opponents.
Barring a few setbacks, Modi has won most of electoral gauntlets thrown at him after coming to power with a historic mandate four years ago.
But just when he looked unbeatable, the prime minister stumbled in his home turf and pocket borough Gujarat. The BJP won the elections, but with a much reduced mandate.
The Gujarat elections had two critical takeaways. First, the truism that if Modi could be contained in his own fort, he could also be contained in other parts of the country. Second, the Gujarat elections for the first time showed Rahul Gandhi as a real contender for the 2019 Lok Sabha election and not a fly-by-night politician.
The Gujarat verdict also forced the BJP to change tactics after it read in the results the obvious writing on the wall: Modi's development rath had not reached the villages.
The biggest opportunity to bring the rural voters back into the BJP fold was the Union budget 2018-19, the last before the general elections. Addressing rural distress even at the cost of annoying BJP's core support base of middle class was the party's response to the wake-up call.
The Gujarat elections also showed that Modi's development mantra had lost its sheen. The famous Gujarat model of development that helped in building Brand Modi, appeared to have lost a lot of its edge.
In his last few public appearances from Davos to Delhi, the PM has been handing out his four-year report card, dishing out dazzling statistics to prove that India under him was running like a rabbit leaving behind the tortoise pace set in by a scam-ridden 10-year Congress-led rule.
The economic numbers, however, are not adding up. This was exploited by the opposition. Rahul Gandhi, now leading the Congress, for once, did his home work right. The grand old party countered Modi reminding people about the long list of unfulfilled promises. The Gandhi scion hit where it hurts the most. Realising that the Modi government has failed to generate employment as promised, he has started taking pot shots at the government for its failure to provide jobs.
The party has also tapped widespread resentment among the traders against the implementation of the goods and services tax (GST).
The industry was still reeling under the impact of demonetisation and the GST proved to be another headache, ruining businesses. The Congress coined Gabbar Singh Tax – a sobriquet for GST - which found resonance among the people in Gujarat.
While the right noises have been made, it remains to be seen if the Modi rath can be halted.
Despite the slump in the economy, the fact remains that Modi continues to enjoy mass public support. Despite the warts, he remains the most popular political leader in the country today.
There is an argument that assembly elections cannot become a test of Modi's popularity. The dynamics will change when the people vote to elect a prime minister. Even those unhappy with the BJP government would not like to see an alternative.
A cursory look at Modi's opponents shows that there is a big vacuum in terms of alternatives. The Congress has shown some signs of revival, but to come into a position of forming the government from its current Lok Sabha strength of 44 looks an uphill task.
The party will need the support of allies to put up a united fight. But the opposition is so bitterly divided that any harmony among them looks a distant dream at the moment. Even if a pre-poll alliance is reached, Modi versus the rest scenario will suit the prime minister. Past experiences have shown that he has emerged victorious every time he is pushed to the wall.
Even in his Parliament speech, Modi asked the opposition to keep throwing muck at him, saying sarcastically that the lotus will only shine in this dirt.
The opposition is not united on projecting a credible face. Rahul Gandhi is not acceptable to Mamata Banerjee, who also lacks charisma outside Bengal. The Samajwadi Party and Bahujan Samaj Party cannot sit in the same room. The Left is going through an existential crisis. Leaders from Mayawati to Lalu Prasad Yadav are discredited. There is no fresh blood in the opposition. Young guns like Rahul Gandhi and Akhilesh Yadav have yet not expanded their mass base. So while the ammunition is available against the government, the key question is who will deliver the ordnance.
The BJP on the other hand is confident that its mascot Modi will spin the magic again. But the party is justifiably worried that dividends might not be same in the Hindi heartland states of Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Uttar Pradesh.
The party had already reached saturation point in these states from where it can either sustain or worse, go down. The by-polls in Rajasthan indicated that people's mood is against the party. Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh will go to polls at the end of this year, less than six months before the general election.
To offset the negative mood among the people, the BJP might postpone assembly elections in these states. There is also talk of imposing President's Rule and hold state polls will general elections next year.
This may help the BJP tide over anti-incumbency in these states. The party leadership has ruled out holding general elections ahead of schedule, considering the past experience when Atal Behari Vajpayee pre-poned the polls and lost in 2004.
Apart from Modi's magic and the discredited opposition, the BJP is hoping that the economic hiccups can be overcome through engineering social issues.
The Supreme Court is hearing the Ayodhya Ram Temple case. If a favourable verdict comes this year ahead of the general elections, it will give the BJP a head start over its rivals.
The party has intensified efforts to reach an out of court settlement with Muslim bodies. If the Modi government makes some headway in building the Ram Temple in Ayodhya, it will be fulfilment of one of BJP's main and long-time election promises and overshadow all other negative sentiments circling the government at the moment.
In addition, the prime minister has the knack of springing shock surprises on his opponents. There might not be room for any fresh bombshells on the economic front, but the government can make some dramatic moves to strengthen Modi's image as a strong leader. This could be in the form of military adventurism on the Line of Control (LoC) and beyond or polarising the voters, a time-tested strategy that never fails to pay dividends.
As the BJP goes about consolidating its position, it is pretty much facing a revolt from its NDA partners. Though the party got a majority on his own in 2014, the NDA had remained intact. The situation has changed now with the Shiv Sena walking out saying it will contest alone in 2019.
Chandrababu Naidu of TDP is also unhappy with the BJP. Both the partners feel that the senior partner is out to finish them in their territories. The rebellion within the NDA ranks may throw up new political equations. Eyebrows were raised, for instance, when West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee met Shiv Sena chief Udhav Thackeray in Mumbai.
Naidu too dialled Thackeray to share his grievances with the BJP. Voices of dissent are also emanating from Punjab where Akalis are unhappy with the BJP. Even Nitish Kumar in Bihar is reportedly not too excited about its partner.
There will be a challenge from irritants like the emerging Dalit leader Jignesh Mevani and pro-reservation activist Hardik Patel. It is clear that the Hardik Patel factor had worked against the BJP in the assembly elections. If it is repeated in the Lok Sabha elections, the BJP will be in trouble.
Jignesh Mevani, who is an MLA in Gujarat, is already going outside the state with his anti-Modi tirade. His presence in Maharashtra in the middle of the Dalit unrest made the BJP positively uncomfortable.
The 2019 Lok Sabha battle is expected to be close unlike 2014 where the Modi factor prevailed over everything else. Every seat will count for the BJP, which will start as the favourite.
It will have to look for new catchment areas to compensate for losses in traditional bastions. The party is looking at expansion in the east. The north east and Bihar will be major hunting grounds for the BJP in 2019.
The prime minister has already began building a narrative against the opposition. He has attacked the Congress hard and reminds people that three former chief ministers – Lalu Prasad Yadav, Madhu Koda and Om Prakash Chautala - are behind bars for corruption. Ominously, he has warned of more meeting the same fate. The Sword of Damocles is dangling on former Himachal Pradesh chief minister Virbhadra Singh.
The move is aimed at painting a bleak picture of his opponents. Even those disenchanted with the BJP would like to give Modi another chance; the prime minister has set himself Vision 2020, signalling he is certain about getting a second term.
Before the next elections, even the RSS – BJP's parent body - will undergo organisational changes. The term of Suresh Rao Joshi, or Bhaiiyaji Joshi, as general secretary is coming to an end in March. He is the key functionary, next only to the RSS chief. One of the four joint secretaries – Suresh Soni, Krishna Gopal, V Bhagaiah and Dattatreya Hosabale – is expected to be elevated. The organisational re-jig will be held by next month.
The RSS is satisfied with the Modi government's performance as the core agenda is being followed. It has praised the Modi government's handling of the border situation with China and Pakistan. It will see progress on its long pending stand of removing Article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir and building the Ram Temple in Ayodhya.
The opposition's challenge, as compared to Modi however, is bigger. The chinks in Modi's armour are visible but it remains to be seen if the opposition is strong and smart enough to grab the opportunity. Knowing that Modi is a tricky customer, 2019 is headed for a keen contest.
Going by the current tempo, the battle is going to be bitter, noisy and tough. Skeletons will tumble out of the cupboards. In the end, it is anybody's game, where all options have an even chance of playing out.

I recently attended an investment seminar for fellow investment professionals. One of the speakers asked the group what the return of the best performing equity mutual fund was during 2000 – 2009. Many guesses were made but the correct answer was 18.2% per annum. The follow up question from the speaker was "what was the average return of investors in this same fund"? Again, many guesses were made but the astonishing correct answer was -11%! Why could a fund with such a great return give investors, on average, such a poor experience? As long-term investors, we know the answer to this. Investor behavior drove investment into the fund as it was posting great returns. As markets fell, the fund returns didn't match up to the previous short-term performance and investors liquidated and got out. The average investor did exactly what the average investor always has been shown to do…buy high and sell low. Had they simply remained invested through this 10-year period, they would have had a great experience and been much wealthier today. A similar phenomenon is happening right now. We are all aware that gold, as an asset class, has had a great 5-year run topping out recently at $1,900 per ounce. At one point in August 2011, the largest Exchange Traded Fund of gold (ETF GLD) was larger in asset size than the largest ETF of the S&P 500 (ETF SPY)*. Are investors really so sure that owning gold is a better investment than owning a share of the largest 500 companies in America? It seems to us that the gold bubble will eventually pop, as bubbles seem to do, and we expect the average investor will have a similar experience as the mutual fund investors had in the previous paragraph. "You could take all the gold that's ever been mined, and it would fill a cube 67 feet in each direction. For what that's worth at current gold prices, you could buy all—not some—all of the farmland in the United States. Plus, you could buy 10 Exxon Mobils, plus have $1 trillion of walking-around money. Or you could have a big cube of metal. Which would you take? Which is going to produce more value?" —Warren Buffett

What is Standard? a shop perspective…
We feel sorry for you, all you want to do is fix, update or buy a new bike but you're faced with "Standards" what axle width are you running? What is your inside rim diameter? What year is your group set? Is it long cage or short cage? What freehub is fitted? Is your headset internal, semi integrated, integrated or mixed? What bottom bracket are you running, cartridge, external, press fit, BB90, BB30, GXP, ISIS, square-taper? The list goes on and on…
Sometimes we know the visit to your local bike shop can be frustrating, all of the shops try to keep their knowledge up to date but diagnosing a "Standard" part quickly can be tricky. To be frank, the industry doesn't help itself either. A lot of brand websites FAQ or Tech sections are of little help and if your local store doesn't sell your brand of bike they don't always have access to accurate dealer websites or tech helplines. We can get around the problems with an investigation in the stand but during peak season there is often a week or two wait to get it in the mechanic's stand, no good if you're wanting to get out there and ride that evening or weekend. We try and keep a good relationship with our peers, we help them out if they need proprietary parts for a Trek bike they may have in their workshop and it goes vice versa.
What can you do in a doomsday prepper style to make sure you're ready for the worst? Forums? YouTube? Mates? The good news is that the internet has a lot of accurate information but equally a lot of poor advice too. When you buy your new bike, ask for the full spec. we love questions like that and are more than happy to give you a list of the critical spares Bottom Bracket, Headset, Hub, Freehub, bearing kit (full suspension), rear mech hangers from the off, it's all part of the service and in our opinion every bike shop should do this for you too. The likelihood is in our mind is that you will still need to visit your local workshop due to you not having some specialist tools and techniques to hand, modern bikes are engineering marvels and the boundaries are getting wider.
Since the advent of GCN, GMBN and the long running Bike Radar YouTube channels you can find accurate advice and techniques to help remedy your bicycle maladies, though the risk is on you. Sometimes the tools required are quite expensive, spending £200 or more on a tool that you likely to use at most once a year has to be questioned. So what tools do we think you should have at home? Simple.
- A decent set of allen/hex keys. Preferably a separates set with a ball end for hard to reach areas, but not putting the final torque in though.
- A chain wear checker. The most important tool in your stash for saving money.
- Decent flat head and Philips screw drivers in multiple sizes.
- Pliers and snipe nose pliers
- A set of snips and a high quality cable cutter.
- A chain tool with the correct size pin for the speed chain you use.
- A chain whip and locking ring tool.
- the correct bottom bracket tool for either cartridge or external. Press fit bottom brackets require specialist tools and a careful technique, so we do not advocate you do this yourself unless you have a high level of competency.
- A torque setting tool. Remember you do not have to go to the maximum stipulated on the part.
- Chain oil, bearing grease and fiber grip gel for carbon parts.
- A small soft rubber mallet.
- Bike friendly cleaning products from degreasers to disc brake cleaners and brushes.
- A track pump with a gauge.
- Plenty of rags!
All of these tools, with practice will help you maintain your bike enough so you only have to see us for specialist jobs, wheel build and complete overhauls. Bearing in mind that all these tools add up to around £300, its still quite an investment but it's worthwhile knowing your bike better.
Overall though keep a good relationship with your local bike shop, it's not about selling you kit; it's about keeping you rolling safely. We are always happy to advise, though as mentioned not always able to wave the magic wand to get you rolling straight away.

It's a far cry from the heights of the World Cup to England's second tier, and the gap must seem especially huge to poor old Leeds United at the moment, after players have been told to bring their own lunch to training and wash their own kit.
The former Champions League semi-finalists have hit tough times in recent years, as they dropped from being one of Europe's elite to League One.
And it doesn't appear things are about to get much better, despite coming under new ownership this year.
In fact, things have reportedly become so bad at Elland Road, the kitchen at the club's training ground has been shut with players told they must bring their own packed lunch, and also take their own training kit home to wash.
It's more reminiscent of Sunday league than a professional outfit, but at least Leeds have offered to wash the matchday kit – as long as the players pay for the privilege.

A Total Cleanse for the Colon, Liver, Gallbladder, and Kidneys
Clearstart 30 Cleanse & Detox program
Most people focus on improving what they bring in - like the nutritional quality of their food and the cleanliness of their air and water. But it is equally important to assist your body in getting rid of what it does not need.
Over time, toxification from environmental pollutants and an imbalanced diet can lead to uneliminated wastes, turning toxic in the system and accumulating on the intestinal walls. This accumulation blocks your body's ability to absorb needed nutrients from food passing through the system and slows the passage of food, allowing for even more putrefaction. This debilating cycle begins to poison vital bodily organs at the source, limiting their ability to self cleanse.
Cleanse your way back to Optimal Health
A toxic body experiences symptoms such as weight gain, mood swings, headaches, poor circulation, cellulite, low immunity, sugar cravings, anxiety, body odour, bad breath, bloating, poor digestion, confusion, memory loss, premature aging, lethargy and stiff joints.
Internal cleansing allows you to experience immediate results, often leading to better overall health, vitality and a stronger sense of wellbeing than you have ever experienced.
Clearstart 30-day cleansing program
The Clearstart 30 is scientifically proven, nutrition sound and effective to deliver sustainable long-term, life-changing results. This 3 -step system will scrub your intestinal walls to remove toxins and debris, neutralise unwanted organisms and flush them out., to revitalise your body.
Clearstart contains LiFiber, Nature's Tea and Paraway Plus. Used together, these 3 products provide an intensive 30-day digestive cleansing program, which is recommended every 6 months.
LiFiber is a psyllium-based powder drink mix that provides 8 times more soluble fiber than oat bran.
Studies indicate the soluble fiber may help reduce blood cholesterol, while insoluble fiber helps clear the colon of toxins and other wastes. LiFiber is the scrub for your digestive system.
Nature's Tea
Nature's Tea improves regularity and colon functions. Constipation becomes a problem when transit time is slowed. Many people love the taste and the slim belly effect as it clears out the accumulated waste from the colon.
Paraway Plus
Paraway Plus puts Black Walnut Hulls to work, killing many kinds of intestinal worms, especially tapeworms. The active ingredient juglone, exerts antifungal, antiparasite, antiviral and antibacterial effects. Also included is Pumpkin seed, that paralyses rather than kills the parasites.
Physiological Adjustment Response
The process of ridding your body of accumulated toxins and debris with the Clearstart 30, may cause some minor discomfort. As your body adjusts to the cleansing, these uncomfortable symptoms will diminish.
Blemishes - During a herbal cleanse, your body releases toxins through the skin pores, which causes blemishes for some.
Constipation - If you have never taken a fiber supplement before, start gradually and drink 1 to 2 additional glasses of water daily, to prevent constipation.
Cramping - Increasing your water intake will help prevent cramping by softening your stools.
Diarrhea / gas / bloating - Herbal cleanins products prompt healthy changes in the natural flora of your gastrointestinal tract, which in some people cause these temporary discomforts.
Nausea - As cleansing herbs help waste move faster through your gastrointestinal tract, it is natural to feel a little nausea at the start.
Stool and urine changes - Changes in urine or stool colour, smell, quantiy and consistency may result.
Unwanted organisms - You may see some passed out in your stools.
Recommended Usage
Take 2 Paraway capsules daily before breakfast for the first 10 days and increase to 5 capsules for the next 20 days.
Take LiFiber as directed 30 mins after the Paraway Plus.
Dink 8-10 glasses of purified water daily
Steep a sachet of Natures Tea as directed, 8 hours before you wake up in the morning.
For as low as RM287.00+RM8 courier within West Malaysia you can enjoy the process with Clearstart 30 and regain back your health and vitality!!!

The Farside of the Moon
From Universe Today. For full article click here.
You're looking at a brand new view of the lunar farside, as never seen before. The team from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter has released the first version of a topographic map of nearly the entire Moon, from data from the Wide Angle Camera (WAC) on the spacecraft.
"This amazing map shows you the ups and downs over nearly the entire Moon, at a scale of 100 meters across the surface, and 20 meters or better vertically," said principal investigator Mark Robinson, writing on the LROC website. "Despite the diminutive size of the WAC (it fits in the palm of one's hand), it images nearly the entire Moon every month."

A shoufa is a scarf worn by the Aiel, usually the color of sand or rock. Normally, the scarf-like garment is wrapped around the head and neck, leaving only the face bare.[1] Some time during the Breaking of the World, the Da'shain Aiel added black dust-veils to the garments in response to the harsh conditions they experienced in their travels. The first Da'shain to violate the Way of the Leaf were admonished to hide their faces behind their veils as the rest of the Da'shain did not wish to see the faces of their loved ones on killers. When a modern Aiel pulls the attached veil over his or her mouth, it means that he or she is prepared to kill and is the basis for the derogatory phrase "black-veiled Aiel."
In Rand's visions of the past, a shoufa is mentioned as part of the work clothes of the Aiel working in the fields before the Breaking.

|Where the magic happens. Yes those are Battle Beasts.
Friday, April 1, 2016
Where I work...
Well here it is. This is where the magic happens. On the right I have my trusty computer. Dual screens so I can watch a movie and still see what I'm painting on the other screen. Yes those are Battle Beasts at the bottom of my monitor. Some of my most prized positions. The coffee cup fits perfectly under my Nespresso machine. Custom made by a buddy at work. Skratch cookie mix for those midnight cravings. The wood box was made by my son and on loan to me. Legos were what was left over from some totes I'd brought home one day. Super glue cause it fixes everything. Canon printer get's used every once and awhile. And last but not least my 2012 Oktoberfest mug for all my pens and brushes.

My homage to Scandanavian couture: I used Burda 9595.
Back in January, I said it made my brain hurt.
But I coped.
Burda does details.
Love it. Nice job! I love the cuffs and the curved neckline.
Such a pretty dress. And I LOVE those boots!
It turned out beautifully! If I had the patience to get through the pattern I'd be looking for a copy of it myself!
I am trying to muster up the courage to try the farbenmix pattern called feliz. I bought the pattern, but I'm too intimidated at this point.
That turned out darling! I have that pattern image saved on my desktop - now it has a name! I love your version. Very cute.
your choice of fabrics is so creative! I love the necklace and overall happy vibe (could be the cute model?!!)
I love Burda kid patterns! I like the red buttons a lot?

In one corner we have Nemesis, a biological weapon created by the Umbrella Corporation during their white hot "Let's Fuck Up Everything" marketing campaign. In the other corner, we have Doctor Strange, the Sorcerer Supreme, which just means he's a regular sorcerer with tomatoes and sour cream.

The following information is provided as a guide to assist in discovering, researching and selecting a surgeon. After you have narrowed down your search, it is your responsibility to double check the information and ask them any questions that you may have. If you discover any updated or incorrect information, please email firstname.lastname@example.com so that it can be corrected. Thank you.
Doctor Chettawut Tulayapanich M.D. is a board certified plastic surgeon in Bangkok, Thailand. He specializes in gender reassignment surgery and has performed over 1,000 SRS and FFS procedures.
His facility has staff available 24 hours a day and uses the latest technology. A body temperature management system will help to keep you warm and is used in both the operating room and recovery room. They also provide an inflatable, alternating pressure mattress to prevent pressure sores.
Dr. Chettawut is able to create a vaginal depth of 6-7 inches (15.2-17.8 centimeters) for most of his patients. This will depend on your individual anatomy.
Dr. Chettawut requires letters of recommendation for surgery from a psychiatrist or licensed psychologist two months before your surgery date. If you are unable to get letters, you might be able to get a letter from a psychiatrist in Thailand for an additional cost. Patients who can provide only one letter of recommendation for SRS may be required to consult with a Psychiatrist in Thailand for a second opinion. This is due to new regulations in Thailand. The original letter will be kept by Dr. Chettawut.(List of online gender therapists that provide surgery letters)
If you have any health problems you should inform Dr. Chettawut at your first consultation. He might require medical records from your doctors. You shouldn't be afraid to disclose any health issues, this is for your own safety so that they can make sure the surgery goes as planned.
Dr. Chettawut doesn't require hair removal, he will remove most of the hairs during surgery. However, if you have perineal hair then you might want to remove it before SRS. Electrolysis is preferred, but laser or IPL will take less time. If you are embarrassed to get professional services, then the Tria Laser and Silk'n can be used from home for removing dark hairs.
You also may be able to do some of your own electrolysis from home with the One Touch system. The cheapest place to buy it is on Ebay, it usually costs about $10 USD. Make sure to also get replacement tips though, they bend easily.
I have found Tend Skin to work very well to reduce redness and bumps after electrolysis.
You must send all test results by email attached in jpg format within two weeks prior to your travel date. The original documents and x-ray films must be presented on your consultation day.
If you have HIV you must be healthy and have a current CD4 level of over 600. Surgery will cost 50% more to make up for the extra expense of disposable equipment. You will still be able to stay in the same rooms and hotel as any other patient.
You should expect to remain in Thailand for 3 weeks for SRS or FFS. If you plan on getting both SRS and FFS expect to stay 30 days. For breast implants or a tummy tuck the stay will be about 10-14 days.
Dr. Chettawut takes great care to preserve nerves and feeling. Most of his patients are able to achieve orgasm within a year of surgery.

Dr. Chettawut will not allow you to schedule an appointment for longer than a year in advance.
There is a 20% non-refundable deposit. You can pay this with an international money wire. After sending the deposit, you should fax Dr. Chettawut the bank reciept so that you can schedule your appointment. The deposit does not hold the price, if you don't want to risk a cost increase then make sure to pay in full.
If you reschedule your surgery date more than two months in advance there is no fee. If you reschedule with less than 2 months notice there is a 5% fee, and if you reschedule less than a month before it is 10%.
You can cancel your appointment 6 months ahead of time without a penalty. Between 6 and 3 months the fee is 10%. Cancelation with 3 to 1 month notice is 15%. If you cancel less than a month prior to your surgery date you will lose 20% of the money.
You can see a picture of Dr. Chettawut's SRS results at this link. Link contains nudity.
After SRS, you will need to use a vaginal dilator for the rest of your life. This is to retain the depth. Each surgeon has slightly different methods of dilation, you will need to follow your surgeon's instructions.
You should make sure to check the cost of traveling when calculating the price of surgery. You can use www.skyscanner.net and www.priceline.com to find the most affordable flights.

A new study has found that hydrogen sulfide gas levels in hog barns often reach levels that are dangerous to the health of workers, according to a report from the Prairie Swine Centre in Saskatchewan, Canada.
Researcher Stephane Lemay evaluated worker exposure to the potentially deadly gas while performing normal tasks such as pulling plugs to manure pits or power washing rooms.
She took measurements over two seasons in all parts of the barns. In many cases, the gas levels recorded were well above recommended maximum levels.
"We have measured from 50 to 200 parts per million (ppm) of hydrogen sulfide and in some cases we have exceeded the limit of the monitors," says Lemay. Monitors are able to monitor up to 1,000 ppm.
She advises the use of hydrogen sulfide monitors in hog buildings to apprise workers of the levels present when manure is handled.

JetBlue's new unlimited travel pass is actually anything but.
The low-cost carrier announced today that it would offer three months of travel for fliers who purchase a promotional BluePass. For $1,299 to $1,999, depending on the package, pass-holders can travel as many times as they like from either Boston or Long Beach, Calif., to select cities on the carrier's routes. Fliers can book flights starting Aug. 15 for travel between Aug. 22 and Nov. 22.
The business-traveler-targeted offer is a markedly different from the All You Can Jet passes of 2009 and 2010, which gave fliers nationwide the ability to book coach seats on any JetBlue route as often as they wanted during the month-long promotion. (2010 price: $499 to $699.) Those passes sold out in a matter of hours, but this year's could prove a tougher sell, says Rick Seaney, chief executive of pricing site FareCompare.com. A JetBlue spokesman says the offer is a response to customer feedback from its previous unlimited passes, and focuses on cities where it has seen growth in business travel.
Buying the pass is almost certainly a good deal for business travelers in Boston or Long Beach, but those in other cities will need to weigh the additional time and money costs of making a stop in either of those hubs en route somewhere else, Seaney says. Passes require round-trip bookings between the same two-city pairing, too, so there's no say, flying from Boston to Tampa, driving to Orlando and then flying back from Orlando. And while the All You Can Jet passes had included taxes, BluePass does not, adding a potential $22 round-trip to your tab, he says.
Pass policies are extremely lenient, however, which may counterbalance some of the hub and route limitations. Travelers can book as little as 90 minutes before a flight leaves, and there's no fee to change or cancel a flight. (Regularly, you'd pay $100, and the all you Can Jet passes had a $50 fee for cancelling within three days of the flight.) Fail to show for two flights in a seven-day period, however, and your reservations will be suspended until you pay a $100 fine.
Leisure travelers are likely to find the offer too expensive. "You're talking about four times the money, here, of last year's All You Can Jet pass," Seaney says. "Just saying the word 'thousand' for a traveler gives them the heebie-jeebies." Leisure travel slows in the fall as the school year begins, which means plenty of fare sales for those more occasional fliers. Buying a pass just doesn't make sense if you'd struggle to travel enough to justify its price, he says. (JetBlue says that based on its average fares, a leisure traveler would be better off with the pass if he makes five or more round-trip flights.)
The one possible leisure traveler exception: consumers looking to spend a few weekends in the Caribbean this fall. JetBlue's $1,999 BluePass from Boston includes several Caribbean routes, where a round-trip ticket routinely goes for $400 to $600. Yes, it's hurricane season, but that's where the pass leniency on last-minute booking and cancellations comes in handy, Seaney says: "You can do a little hurricane dodging."
