Justice and Loyalty — Searching for Fairness
All our political systems started out as searches for the best leaders, and fairness in apportionment of resources. The best hunt organizer would easily become the hunting band's leader, and his authority would undoubtedly prevail in the sharing of the spoils.
And similarly with leaders in other areas of expertise. Until one didn't share the profits equitably — then the cry of UNFAIR would be raised. Thus is born a political system: a method of balancing competing interests.
The search for fairness quickly overburdens the leader, generating a codification of conflict resolutions, a justice system. But these shortcut prescriptions for fairness aren't quite right often enough that a jury system is interposed on the laws.
And that's the best approximation of fairness we can do, but we keep trying other shortcut prescriptions, telling each other stories of loyalties which prevailed in some case or other.
So we get proposed (and imposed) loyalties to our own spouse, family, club, gang, company, department, sports team, military unit, city, state, country, religion, political party or other set of beliefs, in various unpalatable and unworkable orders. None of these shortcuts to fairness have the benefit of the situational wisdom of juries though, and so end up being more easily gamed in favor of one participant or another.
The election process is supposed to be the jury system for sorting loyalties, but it's not fine-grained enough to do the job. We need to redesign elections. Who's up for the task?
In the meantime, I propose being loyal only to oneself, and to the notion of fairness.

Turning My Insanity Into Something Productive! :)
It's turning my brain to muck
I'd rather have to endure getting my bikini line plucked.
I hate my job
The people I work with are shadier than the mob
My daily commute makes me want to sob
I'm getting a blow up doll so I can ride in the HOV Lanes, his name will be Bob.
Oh, if only I could support myself as a pet sitter
I would adopt a whole litter
With all the extra time I'd have to exercise I'd be fitter
Thus I'd have plenty of motivation to be less bitter.
I want to work part-time
So my sanity will require a lesser amount of tequila and lime
Perhaps I should look into becoming a mime
But don't be cheap- throw something larger at me than a dime
My opinion matters not
This has led to a massive brain rot
The tears are flowing a lot
Soon I may succumb to my desire to smoke pot
This is making me insane
Someone put me out of my misery and run me over with a train
Input ignored as if it's washed down a drain
Indignant thoughts fill my brain
The words I QUIT want to topple out but I restrain

December 16, nearly 10 cubic meters of successful "resurrection" activated carbon in Jilin Petrochemical Lianli company has been applied for a whole month, the effect is very satisfactory. This makes the Institute of Organic Catalysts Research Institute, Zhao Yin catalyst experts excited, because it is using the method he proposed only to make this nearly 10 cubic meters of activated carbon successfully "revived."
Mention "resurrection", may wish to start from scratch.
Kyrgyzstan Union Company to pay the station to pay gasoline recovery unit for the adsorption of volatile oil used in activated carbon has been to the end. In order to save costs, the factory on the recommendation of industry experts, the factory steam activated carbon in vivo regeneration. However, with two or three days, activated carbon adsorption becomes worse and worse, can not meet the production needs.
Zhao Yin is Jilin Petrochemical catalyst experts, the factory gallery has exhibited his deeds, so they are holding the idea of trying to find him to find a solution.
"Regeneration of steam does not work, probably because of low temperature, which needs to be unloaded to regenerate in vitro." Zhao Yin made a judgment after the site investigation.
First of all, to determine the regeneration temperature and time and other process conditions. Zhao Yin led his research team on the deactivated activated carbon did thermal gravimetric analysis experiments, through the image observed activated carbon adsorption of substances under what circumstances decomposition.
A few days later, with the air heating calcination method, under high temperature conditions for 4 hours of regeneration process conditions identified. Zhao Yin immediately made contact with the factory.
Device parking, nearly 10 cubic meters of activated carbon removed, according to the process conditions provided by him for regeneration. November 16, after the regeneration of activated carbon back. After a month of application assessment, after the regeneration of activated carbon adsorption are very satisfactory, fully meet the production needs.
A seemingly simple idea, but solved the big problem of the factory, this emboldened from his real accumulation. He "revived" the catalyst for foreign experts to "pronounce sentence to death".
In August this year, Jilin Petrochemical Organic Synthesis Plant styrene plant replacement catalyst, remove 13.2 tons of inactivated molecular sieve catalyst, these catalysts are synthetic ethylbenzene hydrocarbon and anti-hydrocarbon two catalysts. Because two years ago, Zhao Yin succeeded in regenerating a batch of deactivated catalyst at the factory, the factory once again found him.
"Theoretically, all zeolite catalysts can be regenerated. However, the anti-alkylation catalyst is different from the alkylation catalyst. It has a long life expectancy, foreign experts believe that the catalyst can not be regenerated. There are also factories do not believe, have tried to regenerate, but The results have failed.So, normally, the batch of catalyst as soon as it reaches the end of its life, it should be unloaded for burial. "Zhao Yin said.
However, Zhao Yin does not want to press "normal", he wants to challenge the foreign manufacturers, to make chemical production more economical and more environmentally friendly.
He led the research team devoted themselves to the test, step by step test. However, the results of the small-scale anti-alkylation catalyst are not ideal. This result did not discourage Zhao Yin. Foreign experts' testimony and the failure of some factories to regenerate prove that the general approach is irreproducible.
He started from the microstructure, from the mechanism to solve the problem. He consulted a lot of information, but also consulted some domestic industry experts, through a large number of experiments, and ultimately through a special method, the successful solution to the problem.
In order to ensure the success of industrial regeneration, he took 100 kg of hydrocarbon catalyst and anti-hydrocarbon catalyst from the factory for industrial tests. The result was satisfactory. Another batch of catalysts that were sentenced to death were finally reborn.
In this way, Zhao Yin and his research team on the one hand to carry out innovation, bear the role of research scientist, on the other hand, he is like a doctor for the factory to resolve incurable diseases, for a variety of catalysts, additives continue the life . In 2017, they optimized the process conditions for ethylene plants, and this alone led to a factory-creation efficiency of more than 100 million yuan.
Zhao Yin in the evaluation of anti-alkylation catalyst test, the evaluation of anti-hydrocarbon evaluation of the sample.

Russia 0>
Wales 3 (Green 48,63, Harding 68)
Russia 0
Wales guaranteed themselves at least a top two place in their World Cup qualifying group after three second half goals gave them a comfortable victory over Russia at the Newport Stadium.
Tireless striker Kayleigh Green scored twice as Jayne Ludlow's side deservedly pushed aside a poor Russian team which barely threatened all game, to set up an encounter with England in August which will see the winners qualify for next year's tournament in France.
With Russia needing to win to stand any chance of making a play-off place, the importance of game was not lost on either side in the opening stages and there were a number of misplaced passes as the two teams settled down.
The first real opening of the game came on 18 minutes as a free kick into the area was not dealt with by the Russian defence and Helen Ward lifted her shot over from the edge of the area.
Rachel Rowe did well to dispossess Anna Belomyttseva just outside the area but elected to shoot first time at goal and, although well struck, her effort flew straight at Elvira Todua.
Another Wales attack saw Green break down the left and crossed for Ward whose effort was blocked by Alsu Abdullina, Green retrieved the ball and played it across goal for Natasha Harding who shot goalwards but Nadezhda Smirnova did well to block and clear the danger with her head.
Wales continued to have the better of possession, whilst Russia continued to make little impression at the other end, but the scoreline was goalless going into the interval.
In the opening minutes of the second half, a free kick was floated into the area and, after being half cleared, returned into the centre by Rowe and after Green and Ward both had attempts on goal, Green was on hand to fire in from close range and hand Wales the lead.
Ward nearly made it two shortly afterwards which an angled drive which was tipped away at full stretch by Todua.
In a rare Russian sortie forward, there was a brief scare for Wales as an Abdullina cross into the area was not held under pressure by Laura O'Sullivan but Loren Dykes did well to block the resulting shot from Margarita Chernomyrdina.
Moments later though, Wales were back on the attack and Green broke through from Ward's through ball to neatly lift the ball over the advancing Todua for her second goal.
There was an opportunity for a third as Jessica Fishlock intercepted a poor pass and carried the ball towards the Russian area but her own pass towards Ward was also misplaced.
Just two minutes later though, Green turned provider when she clipped a through ball into the path of Harding and although her initial shot was blocked by Todua, the rebound fell nicely for the midfielder to tuck her shot into the corner of the net.
Wales were dominating against a demoralised Russian side and looked dangerous every time when going forward, particularly through the middle with their pace against the visitors' defence.
At the other end, any Russian attacks were easily dealt with by O'Sullivan and her defence, especially Dykes who had an outstanding game in the centre.
Green drove a shot over as she looked for her hat-trick and the chance came in the dying minutes as she once again powered her way through on goal but this time she was denied by a fine save from Todua, who blocked with her legs.
Wales: Laura O'Sullivan, Loren Dykes, Sophie Ingle, Rhiannon Roberts, Natasha Harding, Angharad James, Kayleigh Green (sub Kylie Nolan 90mins), Jessica Fishlock, Rachel Rowe, Hayley Ladd, Helen Ward (sub Nadia Lawrence 85mins). Subs not used: Claire Skinner, Gemma Evans, Alice Griffiths, Elise Hughes, Hannah Miles.
Russia: Elvira Todua, Anastasiya Akimova (sub Alsu Abdullina 32mins), Anna Kozhnikova, Nadezhda Smirnova, Anna Belomyttseva, Elena Danilova, Lipa Yakupova, Elaterina Pantyukhina, Elvia Ziyastinova, Nelli Korovkina, Elena Morozova (sub Margarita Chernomyrdina 58mins).

Wyvern Lingo to play Spirit Store in Dundalk
Wyvern Lingo,
The talented trio is composed of Caoimhe Barry on vocals and drums, Karen Cowley on vocals, synth and bass and Saoirse Duane on vocals and guitar. The group recently appeared on The Late Late Show,
Their debut album 'Wyvern Lingo' is released on the 23rd of February, and was rated 8/10 by Golden Plec and 8/10 by Hot Press. The girls have toured internationally with James Vincent McMorrow and Hozier. Wyvern Lingo
The Bray natives say they have always been friends first, band second. Karen, who plays bass and synth as well as
The bass player also says that the band always wanted to take things further. "We had that dream, like every band," she says. "We always kept up Wyvern Lingo, even when we did different things after we left school like work and college."
"We saved up money and released our EP, which was a bit of a DIY job," Karen laughs. "Out of that, we got a manager, a publishing deal, then a record deal, all in the space of a year and a half," she continues. Karen says the band
Wyvern Lingo
Wyvern Lingo's self-titled debut album is a sincere and honest piece of work, according to Karen. "The album as a whole is a collection of lived, shared experiences, and writing the songs was cathartic for us," she claims.
The girls count Led Zepplin, Queen and Fleetwood Mac as major influences for their work. "We all listened to our parent's albums, whatever was in the house," Karen says. "But we are also very influenced by 90's American R&B, like Alicia Keys and Destiny's Child… our more contemporary influences would be Solange and A Tribe Called Quest," she adds. "Stevie Knicks would be a personal influence of mine."
Wyvern Lingo will be touring the UK, Germany and the Netherlands after they finish up gigging in Ireland. "We are really excited to headline our own shows in the UK, we have toured there before with Hozier," Karen says. "We also are looking forward to going back to Germany, Germans just have a completely different way of going to gigs and listening to music," the singer explains. "It is just the best being able to travel to different places, we can't wait!"
Karen laughs when I say that Wyvern Lingo is an unusual name, and reveals there is a funny story behind it. "Our music teacher from secondary school, who we are still in contact with because she was so supportive, said that we needed a band name for the leaflets for the school concert… so we looked in the dictionary and saw that 'wyvern' means dragon, and we thought that was cool, then Wyvern Lingo just stuck," Karen laughs. "Some people love it,
This isn't the first time Wyvern Lingo have played the Spirit Store. "It's a lovely venue and pub, beautiful stonework and it reminds me of our local in a way… we have a lot of love for the place," Karen concludes.
Wyvern Lingo's album can be found on iTunes and Spotify. To get your tickets for the gig, visit http://www.spiritstore.ie/tickets.php.

Stand Up To Cancer Summit
Leading Cancer Researchers Coming Together to Collaborate
Stand Up To Cancer (SU2C) hosted its 9th annual Scientific Summit in Santa Monica, CA where all of its funded researchers gather to provide updates, new grants are awarded and proposals are reviewed. It's a dynamic and inspiriting three days where more than 300 top scientists come together to discuss breakthroughs and updates in cancer research.
The Lustgarten Foundation is proud to be a part of this important meeting. Since 2012, we have built a robust and illustrious collaboration with SU2C, jointly funding 209 investigators across 31 leading research centers in both the United States and the United Kingdom, which is now the Pancreatic Cancer Collective.
The Collective scientists — comprised of 14 teams (three dream teams, nine research teams and two convergence teams) are investigating pancreatic cancer in the field of immunotherapy, early detection, interception and new therapies. Two invited speakers, Dr. Brian Wolpin, head of our dedicated research lab at Dana Farber, and Dr. David Ryan, medical oncologist at Mass General Hospital and leader of one of the research teams, shared their novel data about a model risk for pancreatic cancer and the first pancreatic cancer clinical trial enrolling patients to be treated at home.
Additionally, during the summit, the Collective grants review committee evaluated proposals for Computational Approaches to Identifying High-Risk Pancreatic Cancer Populations with the goal of awarding two new grants. The funding will help to develop tools to identify individuals in the general population who are at high risk for pancreatic cancer far earlier than they would otherwise be diagnosed, using information from existing health records.
One Team was selected to identify high risk cohorts through molecular and genetic data identifying new and accessible ways to identify high risk individuals and the other team will identify high risk cohorts through real world data. The winners of these important new grants will be announced in the spring of 2019.
In case you missed it, check out the Facebook live from the Summit that was hosted by our chief scientist Dr. David Tuveson,

Album of Pre-Raphaelite Images of Little Girls on Printed Silk
England Full Morocco Very Good
N.d., circa 1880. With twelve mounted plates of printed silk featuring pre-Raphaelite young girls. We see a girl creating bubbles, lolling on a sofa, sitting with a feathered fan under an orange tree, fussing with her hair, gazing at fish in a bowl, striking a pose under a lemon tree, fishing in a pool, nude with a shell to her ear, nude gazing perhaps at butterflies, and nude playing a flute. The imagery evokes the boudoir, perhaps a harem, and there is most definitely a light erotic aura being created. The artist is also making allusions to allegorical paintings and the depiction of the gods. Notwithstanding the frisson of sexuality, few would be offended by the images. The silk lends softness to the already mostly pale palette. The genre of printed silk, and the collection of the images as such, is extremely scarce. The black morocco binding is rubbed along the joints and worn especially in the top corners. Within the leaves, all of card, are sturdy, sound and clean.

[Faux Books] Japanese Lacquer Box made to look like two books sitting side by side
An usual double faux book. N.d., circa 1900. With a typical Japanese style lacquer design of flowers and geometric shapes rendered in a deep brown crimson. The sides are black with straight lines meant to suggest books, along with a few other features that help create the illusion. The box measures 17 by 12 cm, and is 5 cm high. The top lid opens up on each side, with two separate wells to house cards perhaps, or whatnots. The hinges for the lid are metal pieces in the center, and between these metal pieces is a small handle. A few chips on the edges, with trivial loss of lacquer. Other light wear.

[Faux Book] Box with Oval Cameo Bucolic River View, Elaborate Grecian Ornamental Border, and Gilt and Multi-Color Patterned Edges
Very Good
N.d., circa 1900. Measuring 198 by 160 by 33 mm. The oval color print on the top lid is 140 by 93 mm at the widest points. The bottom and edges are white, with a plastic sheen. The edges have a Medieval diaper type of decoration, with slightly raised detailing, and it seems the type of decoration that would have been applied to a candy box, but there is no brand ad on this box. The box is secured shut with a brass clasp, and within there is a doily edge trim, also suggestive of a prior use to house candy, or perhaps cookies. Light soiling to the edges, and other light to moderate wear. Still a very handsome, and distinctive, faux book box.

Bezruc, Petr.
Slezské Písne [Silesian songs]
Ekaterinburg Vydáno Osvetlím odborem O.C.S.N.R. [Odbocka Ceskoslovenské Národní Rady v Rusku] 1918 Cloth Very Good
2mo (13.5 x 11.5 cm). 128 pp. This rather elaborately printed edition of Petr Bezrucs popular Czech poetic cycle, Silesian Songs, is a relic of the publishing operations of the Czechosloak Legions during their famed Anabasis during the early phases of the Russian Civil War. The Czech Legion were fighting on behalf of the Entente (the U.K., France, Russia) and specifically Tsar during the First World War in the cause of Czech independence from Austria, which was one of the opposing Central Powers. They had proved a puissant combat force, but the Bolshevik Revolution and the subsequent Soviet treaty with the Central Powers threw everything up in the air. Soon the Czech Legion was taking sides in the Civil War which ensued, with the Legion aligning itself with the Whites, or the Counter-Revolutionary forces. Initially the Legion scored great success against the disorganized, ill-trained Soviet fighters, and by 1919 the Legion had complete control of the Trans Siberian Railroad. Unfortunately for them, the Soviet army got its act together and swiftly reversed the tide by mid-1919, at which point members of the Legion became suddenly homesick and scrambled as best they could to escape from Soviet territory. Most eventually did get out, after long delays and anxieties, and members of the Legion formed the core of the Czech army formed after the country achieved independence with the Treaty of Versailles. In any case, this publication is evidence of the roots the Czech Legion very quickly was able to put down in the land they controlled in Russia, and it is perhaps also surprising at how high the production values are of this trifle.

With twelve leaves of verse, written in a calligraphic hand, and floral and/or illuminated decoration. The first leaf is of armorial decoration and the mottos "Ich Dien" atop and "ung ic sepvepsg" below, both written on ribboned ornament. The leaves following feature fluent rhymed verse surrounded by exquisite Victorian Era floral decoration. The poems have a spiritual or religious overtone; the glory of the book is the decoration, adapted from Gothic sources, and the decorated letter figures. The visual uplift compensates for the often somber tone of the poetry. The verse is titled "Flowers", "The Reaper and the Flowers", and "Suspiria", while some of it appears untitled. As everything is clearly meant to cohere as a single work, arguably the verse is all of one piece, and a remarkable aspect of this album is that the author harbored such a larger ambition. The morocco binding has considerable wear and rubbing. Minor soiling to the leaves. Tissue guards also soiled, with some tears. The volume is folio-sized, measuring 15 by 12 inches, 38 by 30 cm.

Les Aventures merveilleuses du petit Floridor et de son chien Carabi Fait pendant ma captivite a Torgau-sur-Elbe pour mon fils Jean-Francois avril-decembre 1915
Brussels J. E. Goossens 1915 First Edition
Oblong, 24 by 35 cm. The theme of the story is a lost child's quest for home and his family, a theme that would have resonated for the author as a prisoner-of-war, both on his own account and also his son, who had not seen him for many months as a result of his service and then imprisonment. Along the way, Floridor and his pet dog have the kind of adventures that happen to little boys in such literature -- he is taken in by a group of acrobats, he escapes to sea, he is held hostage by a band of pirates, he escapes to shore where there are savages, etc. Through this the author imparts lessons about hard work and the like. The story takes place during the late eighteenth century, which must have also been see as a better time, notwithstanding the upheavals of the period. The illustrations are simple, with details not fussed over. A scarce title.

Riconda, Arturo, editor. Toppi, G., artist responsible for cover art. Translations into Italian by Amato Mori
L'Affascinatore nel Regno dell'Impossibile. La Realtà Romanzesca
Firenze Casa Editrice G. Nerbini
The complete run comprised of 21 installments, or fascicoli, of an extremely scarce Italian pulp magazine that anthologized supernatural fiction. 4to. 29.5 by 19 cm. No copies on OCLC, nor in other catalogues we checked (Bibliotheca Italiana, etc.) The magazine, although produced on the cheapest of pulp paper which ages terribly, did have striking cover artwork for each of its installments. The stories presented are all translations of works in English or French, with the original authors never credited. Casa Nerbini, founded in 1897, was until 1943 a major Italian publisher of fumetti, or Italian comic books. After Nerbini folded Mondadori published some of its more popular titles. Condition: the pages are heavily age toned, the paper brittle, and there have some some discrete archival repairs made on the cover pages. Soiling to the front cover. We would nonetheless grade the volume as being in very good condition, as the issues are ones that were inevitable given the paper stock used.

Rosa, Salvatore
Satire di Salvatore Rosa Dedicate a Settano
Amsterdam Presso Severo Protomastix 1696 First Edition thus Full Vellum Near Fine
N.d. Circa 1690. 12mo. 160 pp. Woodcut ornament on title. (Brunet IV 1390. 12mo. Gamba 2071) Contemporary vellum. Front joint repaired. Slight separation of lower rear joint. Restoration to upper corner of leaf pp 93/4. P. 107 with awkwardly cut margin. Considerable toning especially around text, but overall fine other than issues mentioned. Rosa is best known as a landscape painter but he also in his lifetime has a considerable reputation as a poet. His eventful, picaresque, and now mythologized life centered at various times around Naples, Rome and Florence. As a champion of artistic freedom, Rosa rejected the then prevalent patronage system in the artworld. In the satires Rosa attacked aspects of the music and art scene, and the most famous of the satires, "La Babilonia", took daring swipes at the clergy, leading to its placement on the Vatican's Index of prohibited works.

hee hee !! Good morning! Just for the record I did not choose their numbers, they did. #3 was taken other wise 18 would of been 3 for Wilson, but I kinda like #18. :-) They are playing like Manning and Rodgers if you ask us!!!! We only have a few games left and thought I need to share at least one picture. Time gets away from me and I forget. They were already dressing down in this picture after the game, but I like their smiles. We made history in middle school football with this game and they earned it. What a game! Both sides of the ball were outstanding!
We play 8 man football and only have 10 players this year. Gasp! That means, yes they play both defense and offense and are on the field the entire game. This is not a bad thing as we get lots of playing time and experience on both sides of the ball. The teams we play, well they usually have a few more players and can sub in fresh players which makes for some interesting games. This team you see in the back we played last year and they totally creamed us and we thought it would be the same this year. They have about 25 players to our 10. However this year it was a TIE 19/19 game and what a game. Curtis scored 2 TD and Nathan scored 1 TD. They score extra points different in MS football and we only made 1 of the extra points hence the 19 score. The twins and only one other of the boys are returning players from last year so they are really excited that they tied this game.
The sportsmanship from these men is wonderful and I could not be more proud of them. The entire team to be honest is amazing. We really enjoy watching them play and just have fun! I am already talking to the HS coach and trying to find my place on the sidelines for next year. No way I am gonna be regulated to the stands... I get too excited running down the field side lines with them. hee hee Some of my videos are interesting as the camera is shaking as I run and you hear me screaming run run you got this. LOL Yes, I am that mom. Someone's gotta do it. ;-)
On another note we have been so busy reviving and making changes to the Booster Club as we are now president and secretary. Did I mentioned that here? Needless to say God gave us this passion and vision for where he wants the club to go for future and we are trying to put that into motion. Talk about blind faith!! God has been sending us confirmation after confirmation that this is what he wants us to do and yet at times are like " are you sure we can do that" ? Isn't it funny as man we still doubt at times if it can be done. It seems too big or out of reach. I am telling myself daily that it is the blind faith that will keep that doubt away. We changed over to this school 3 years ago and the first year was a rough transition. I look back now and think what an amazing time he helped us grow as we are now in another growing stage, yet different growth. This is more growth for John and myself and stretching us in areas we have been "comfortable" in I would say. For John to step up and be president you know it had to be God. ha ha We are very involved in a lot of the boys activities but president is one thing we never would of planned to do. All the ideas and vision we have brought to the school board and the athletic director have been the spark they have been needing. God is so good! As our pastor said last week, God knows the answers, before we even see the problem.
Being that it is World Card Making Day, not sure I am going to get any creating in today but I sure hope to try. Thanks for listening and sharing in my little piece of life today. Have a wonderful weekend!

Clarkston News Editor
After almost two years of renovation work, Clarkston United Methodist Church is ready for a renewed focus towards the community.
"The whole motivation to do this was to continue the tradition to be central to the larger Clarkston community," said Senior Pastor Rick Dake.
After celebrations and ribbon cuttings starting this weekend, they'll start a new outward focus by talking to teachers, administrators, social workers, and community and business leaders.
"We'll have two questions, what do you need, and how can we help," Dake said. "How can we build partnerships and work with others to change the trajectory of people's lives?"
The project included adding about 20 feet to the front of the church, new parkng lot with LED lighting, new gym, and renovations to the sanctuary, offices, and meeting rooms throughout the facility at 6600 Waldon Road.
"It was a long process," Dake said."We had great architects, contractors, and leadership of the congregation and church, and strong resiliency and adaptability. We've been continually blessed. We all rolled up our sleeves and got to work."
During renovation work to the sanctuary, they planned to use the gym for worship services for three Sundays, but ended up using it for five-and-a-half months.
"We rolled with it. It was a great time. It taught us a lot," he said.
"The plan was to keep the sanctuary as it was, but through the generosity of the congregation we were able to enhance it," Dake said. "They went above and beyond. We are so blessed."
They installed new video screens and sound system, as well as new carpeting in the main worship room of the church.
The state-of-the-art gym is fully equipped for basketball, volleyball, and pickleball, as well as banquets and other community events. Exercise programs for seniors will be offered with St. Joe's Health and Oakland County Health experts.
The new construction added to the front of the church includes an indoor gathering space in front of the sanctuary.
"It's a bridge to the community, a high hospitality area," Dake said.
It also includes a new coffee shop, Grand Hallway, and additional meeting rooms.
The church's offices, conference rooms, game room for senior high youth, and preschool classrooms were also renovated, with barrier free access throughout the building including ADA restrooms, elevator access to all levels, additional ramps, and wider hallways.
"Everything was designed for the population to be served," Dake said.
Their Client Choice Food Pantry was also expanded, offering fresh dairy, meat, produce, baby products, paper, and other items every fourth Monday, 10 a.m.-12 p.m., and 5:30-7 p.m.
"It's the best food pantry in town," said Joyce Bleim. "It's like a mini grocery store."
Contact the church to sign up.
The church is busy preparing for its Building Consecration and Ministry Celebration on Sunday, Sept. 16, at 9 a.m. and 11 a.m.
"We'll be announcing the Hugh Rose Scholarship for the community, for people who need to go back to school for additional training and education so they can make an impact on the community," Dake said.
Ribbon Cutting Ceremony with community leaders and members of the Chamber of Commerce will be on Friday, Sept. 21st at 9:30 a.m., with tours afterwards.

Social media marketing is among the fastest-growing and best-loved methods of expanding your business. Social media presents a world of opportunities to build a customer base and increase consumer awareness about your products and services. This article will provide you with a few suggestions on how you can do just that.
Use Twitter to help promote your company. If you study how to use Twitter and what it can do for you, you can get hundreds of thousands of people to see your products. Take the time required to learn about using keywords, hashtags, and everything else there is to know about Twitter.
Customer Base
Commit yourself to building a strong relationship with your customer base, if that is the type of relationship you want. Keep your advertising ploys simple by using social channels. If you actually want to build a loyal customer base who repeatedly comes back and buys from you, you'll have to begin the conversation with them by introducing yourself. Your clients will take the lead and let you know how to proceed.
Frequently update your information and posts on your social networking website. Most social network users expect updates as often as possible, and if you do not provide them with it, you could give yourself a bad name and lose many customers. Dedicate a few days out of the week for updates.
Social Media
Before starting a social media campaign, you should research a variety of different advertising available on various social media sites. Don't waste your time. Learn about different social networking sites so that you can use them effectively. For example, you may find that some sites vastly outperform others. Don't rest on your laurels here. Hone in on what works.
Attract more customers to your products or your store by using your profile on social media sites. Use your social networking profile page to advertise special deals, or even announce a new location. You could also offer the option to print out valuable coupons; another option is to grant access to special editions or limited-time offers. People are much more likely to friend you on Facebook if they feel there is something in it for them.
When you receive a comment on Facebook, you must make sure that you reply to it. This applies to negative comments and positive comments alike. People will perceive your company as being more caring if you go out of your way to response to people's comments. Respond promptly, as well.
A great thing to remember before starting your social campaign is that things can get nasty on social media sites from time to time. Be prepared to brave a storm of negativity. Of course, you want your followers to post positive comments about you, but this isn't going to always happen. You must be prepared to handle the negative ones as well. Don't avoid it; confront it and try to help people who are not happy with you.
You need to talk one-on-one with customers over social media. Let them know their input matters to you. Customers want the ability to speak to a person directly.
Social Networking
Social networking should never be exclusively about advertising your products. You can learn a lot about your customers via social media. They might even interact with you directly and provide you with feedback about your brand. You will, of course, have the opportunity to talk about your products, but it's better to think about social networking as a form of customer relations.
If you haven't mastered social media in a few weeks, continue to press forward and learn. Once you have a loyal group of followers, your traffic and number of followers will gradually increase. Give yourself about a year before you expect a decent following that will provide you with all of the benefits of a really good social media marketing campaign.
As you can see, there are many methods of incorporating social media into your business. It is incredible how much social media can help you gain an online presence and find new customers. Use the information learned here to come up with a plan to utilize social media and start growing your business today.

There was a campaign recently during which a couple tried to eat on $1 a day (well, $2 for both of them). I can't imagine how anyone could manage. Even a bag of cheese doodles runs you more than that.
I just heard Robin Roberts announce that the couple would be on GMA later today. I couldn't wait – I had to know how they did it. I went to their website to get more information. Sounds like they ate a lot of free catsup and syrup from IHOP. Check out their photo – they look healthy – certainly no weight issues.
Here's a sample of one day's menu for the wife, Kerry:
Breakfast: 3 pancakes – $0.15, maple syrup- FREE (From fast food restaurants)
Lunch: Spaghetti – $0.32 ( noodles-$0.15, Sauce-$0.17 {canned pureed tomatoes 1/2 cup $ 0.15, spices $0.02})
Snack: Jolly Rancher Lollypop- FREE (foraged from Tattoo shop)
Dinner: Homemade Pizza with onions and roasted garlic- $0.32
Dessert: 1TBSP Peanut butter – $0.05
Total: $0.84
Kerry and her husband Christopher Greenslate chronicled their experience on a blog to illustrate the hardship faced by so many poor people. They wanted to see exactly what they could eat on so little money. It turns out, not much: oatmeal, homemade bread and tortillas, rice, beans. Note the lack of fresh vegetables, fruits and proteins.

Mayer Brown has experience in many specific matters. Search the entire list.
Mayer Brown has more than 250 lawyers ranked by Chambers worldwide and more than 150 Peer Review Rated lawyers in Martindale Hubbell.
3 February 2009 – The Arlington Immigration Court granted political asylum to our client, Mr. A, a former Ethiopian diplomat who was represented pro bono by Gabrielle Butcher, an associate in our Washington office.
Mr. A was subjected to years of harassment, intimidation and retaliation in his employment as a result of his refusal to join the repressive regime of the Ethiopian People's Revolutionary Democratic Front (EPRDF), his opposition to the discriminatory policies of the ruling party and his imputed affiliation with Ethiopia's primary opposition party, the Coalition for Unity and Democracy. He was also frequently threatened and accused of supporting the opposition party by his supervisor at the Ethiopian Consulate in the Netherlands, a former guerilla fighter. Ultimately, the Ethiopian government terminated our client's diplomatic post, and ordered him to return to the Ethiopia, after he published a series of articles criticizing the EPRDF's violent response to public demonstrations over the May 2005 Ethiopian election results. Fearing for his safety if he were to return, Mr. A fled to the United States and requested asylum.
At the close of the merits hearing, the Immigration Court ruled that Mr. A's credible testimony, his pre-hearing memorandum and the "phonebook" of documentary evidence submitted in the case established a well-founded fear of future persecution by the Ethiopian government. The evidence included affidavits from several other former Ethiopian diplomats who had obtained asylum in the United States, as well as Prof. Timothy Carmichael's expert report detailing the human rights abuses in Ethiopia.
The Department of Homeland Security waived appeal in the case, rendering the grant of asylum final.

Here are fresh news from Salvatore Ferragamo, as label's creative director Massimiliano Giornetti showcased new spring-summer collection's runway show, which was focused mainly on feminine essentials. Models appeared on the catwalk wearing deconstructed suits, strong-shouldered pinstripe jackets, cutoff blazers, lean trousers, roomy parkas, military silhouette flight jackets, field jackets and bombers, open-toe boots and sandals. Of course, the main focus was centered on jackets, as models appeared in cropped bombers, double-breasted suit jackets, trenches made of snakeskin, calfskin. I personally felt in lvoe with those painted python jackets and coats, as well as in that glossy black trench-coat which closed the show.

We are happy to report that we rounded Cape San Augustine this morning at 0845 and we are officially in Philippine waters.
The marina we are headed for (Holiday Ocean View in Samal, near Davao) is too far away to reach in one day, so we needed to find a stopping place overnight. You don't sail at night in coastal waters in the Philippines--too many FADs, fishermen, nets, etc.
With S-SW winds, none of the anchorages we had marked along the west coast of the SE peninsula in Mindenao were looking very good. We picked out one--at Sigaboy Island--that looked like it might work, but the wind was too far south. The only spot where there were anchoring depths was not behind the island with the south-ish winds we had. And about the time we were looking, the winds had picked up and were howling through the area, with a bit of a venturi effect near the island. So we moved on.
A few miles north, Dave picked out a decent anchorage in a big cove, I think called something like Baksal Cove. We anchored at 06-40.6N / 126-04.9E, in about 25 feet of water, off a fishing village. "Off a fishing village" is an interesting term in the Philippines, as pretty much every bay we went by on our 25 miles up the coast, had a fishing village. Basically a row of shacks along the beach with 20-40 motorized outrigger canoes pulled up on the beach.
The Filipinos are incredible. It's hard to convey their fishing-ness. Several hundred miles off the coast of Mindanao, in very deep water, our friends on Carina passed a "FAD" with a medium-sized (say, 30-40') fishing boat accompanied by a number of outrigger canoes. And we saw them in all shapes and sizes today...anything from a one-man canoe to a giant community-sized fishing or transport vessel. Here they are called "bancas" (bong-kas)...outlandish looking trimaran things with motorized propulsion (pictures to follow).
We are getting up at the crack of dawn tomorrow (even Dave!) to make the last 40 miles to the marina.
At 08/04/2014 12:40 PM (utc) our position was 06°40.60'N 126°04.90'E

Protocols 3Max
For all the faults previously attributed to whites, they have been able at times to build functioning societies when their leadership has acted as the Aryan does; that is, when they have thought of the whole before the part. During such epochs they have sought, like the Han people of China, internal harmony within the boundaries of these societies. For a civilised society to work properly there must be divisions within that society. If not protected these divisions leave seams or cracks that may be exploited to the advantage of other groups, in particular sojourning groups.
The European Jew, being a white with an ideology, racially blends into white societies. He is eager to live off of the resources this society procures, but also eager to take advantage of the natural cracks in this model of stability in order that the whites never unite against his presence if that presence proves deleterious, as it always does. For the most part white societies have been very accommodating to him. Many of his worthiest cultural tools were tested and refined in the social environment of prosperity and relative tolerance brought about by the innovation and diligence of both Aryan and white. It must be recognised that the white Ashkenazi was created within the boundaries of our ancestral lands. As it is often said, if it were not for the tolerance of Europeans, the Jew would never exist. But the Jew does exist, to the misfortune of billions, and this is due in part to his ability to blend into surrounding white environs. The Chinese have not had to suffer this phenomenon of a nation within a nation, an alien group that constantly undermines the foundations of society and saws away at the beams that uphold order. In this the Han have been blessed.
The Jew, per his cultural technique and per his very biological imperative, has no other option but to destroy. Any time there is a threat of whites coalescing and forming solid in-group and out-group boundaries, any time whites threaten to become a cladistically higher organism, any time whites shed whiteness to become Aryan, the Jew must attack. This is normal. The Jew must live, and for him to live he must thwart the formation of host-society individuals into a group possessing group interests or, if his rivals are already a group, he must do what he can to divide them. One finds the Jew busily splintering in this way during the early Christian era, during the Scholastic movement, during the Renaissance, during Christian reform movements and Christian counter-reform movements, during the French Revolution, during the European Revolutions of '48, during the period after the terrible World War, and during many other times where social schisms were exploited and broadened for his biological benefit.
The goal of the Aryan has previously been to negate the possibility of Jewish exploitation by transforming these always-vulnerable whites. We endeavored to give them consciousness and protection, to inculcate them with a sense of who they were and what they could be, and to raise them from the status of beasts. We shared ethnic and cultural traits with them, though not always moral ones. On the other hand, among the various peoples that have taken the Jewish strategy, it is the more important moral traits that are shared with each other, though not necessarily cultural or ethnic ones. This is clear from any visit to the homeland they have successfully managed to carve out for themselves, where one can witness all manner of races, ethnicities, and traditions roughly coexisting for now. Although this mosaic population of Israel is ruled by the white Ashkenazi for his own benefit, the shared group evolutionary strategy of Judaism allows a common morality to be drawn on by all groups. To the Jew, as to the Aryan, morals mean simply using the tools of culture appropriately throughout one's life in order to increase the fitness and prosperity of one's own people. To the Aryan, the act of following these rules and using these tools properly is called "honour".
Whites are different from both the Aryan and the Jew. To whites morals mean obeying the orders of whomever has power, no matter the ultimate outcome for themselves. That is why, once power is gained by a group, they will adhere to the rules laid down by that group. They followed us when we took control of our ancestral lands in Europe during the 1930s, and today they follow the Ashkenazi now that he controls these lands. They will always believe what they are told to believe by those who rule them.
When no one had power over them, whites generally constructed some form of law for themselves to proscribe certain behaviours. Rarely did their laws last for any length of time, for evolution constantly presented new challenges to their beliefs and social constructs. But when incorporated with the rigid and unbending nation-states they created, whites' laws eventually proved deadly to their descendants. In contrast, the laws of the Jew, written by those who understood eternal flux, had and have as their basis the imperative to survive at all costs, and therefore are adaptable to shifting circumstances.
The laws of the whites are objective, not subjective, as befits their particular psychological makeup and as one would expect from a sedentary, science-creating culture rooted in territorial possession and the legal concept of the nation-state. When interlopers take over the government of the white state, de facto or de jure, they take the objective laws set up by the whites and use them subjectively against the whites. Whites become docile handlickers to the new masters, following the reinterpreted and redirected laws even unto the gallows. From this trait alone it is clear to the Aryan that whites lack honour.
The Aryan, when united under various ideologies, has always built impressive civilisations, taking culturally incremental steps toward total group cohesion through numerous religious and national stages of development. Through our intelligence, industriousness, and perseverance, we have brought forth marvels in all spheres. A visit to any of the libraries we have built, in any city of the New World or Old, will reveal the amazing qualities of our people. These unsurpassed collections are a tribute to our capabilities in everything that can be imagined under the sun. We are proven masters of science, art, industry, and all things.
We mention our Aryan achievements here among ourselves only because the Ashkenazi now brags of these achievements as his own. He proclaims our accomplishments as having been impossible to achieve without his involvement, just as his cultural forebears did when meeting the superior Greeks more than two thousand years ago, claiming all ingenuity as their own. This pompous boasting and lying about the nature of his accomplishments is currently allowed him, per the power he has gained over the whites and the Aryan. In today's society the Jew can afford to boast and to lie for he cannot be openly contradicted. Among ourselves we know that the limited cultural accomplishments of the Ashkenazi have only ever been a corollary to our own massive achievements, but it is not for us to say so at this time. The struggle of evolution is eternal and we are currently more concentrated on using the tools of survival to reach safer ground than crowing about our previous achievements or openly complaining that these achievements are being wrongfully attributed to others. The Ashkenazi is powerful, and the powerful are able to boast. The enslaved cannot. This has always been the way. Indeed, we even prefer that the Ashkenazi boasts today, and we encourage it.
It must be remembered that the Ashkenazi despises both whites and Aryans equally, even though these latter two are enormously different from each other, and even though most whites do not consider themselves enemies of the Ashkenazi. Many whites actually worship him, due to the power he wields, and would do all they could to allow him his life on this earth, content in their servitude to him. Far more whites actually hate the white Aryan than hate the white Jew, for the Aryan has little power. Yet beyond matters of tactical calculations this difference between the two groups matters not to the Jew. In his heart he views all peoples other than himself as an enemy, as his cultural technology demands he must. The trait that enables him to look at that upon which his very livelihood is based as something to be feared and hated is engraved on his constitution. Imagine if whites were to suddenly begin to despise the soil their sustenance springs from and you can see the insanity that has been brought about by generations of Ashkenazi hatred.
The Ashkenazi cruelly mocks the whites for being ignorant. He mocks them for having nothing sacred in their low culture and for having no guide through life, as exemplified by the Slavic peasants of Eastern Europe or by the Anglo-Saxon dullards of the United States or England or Canada or Australia. He is correct in this assessment. Yet when these same whites culturally recreate themselves, subsequently consolidating themselves evolutionarily and eradicating the frivolous and useless from their culture, giving meaning and dignity to those same elements of a lived life that the Ashkenazi does with his own life, the Ashkenazi knows that soon there will no longer be room for him among them, for their society is becoming an Aryan society. Oftentimes, as evolution would dictate, this Aryan society has come about solely due to the presence of the Jew himself. Though he hates the Aryan as much as he hates the formless and base whites, it is he himself who has, over the centuries, been integral in creating the Aryan.
Why does the Jew openly scorn the whites for their lack of true religiosity, if by doing so he increases the probability of whites becoming Aryan, who will then actively oppose rather than facilitate his spread? He does this not consciously, but in order to favourably contrast himself against those he lives among. This is a natural tactic of a people in exile. Per the instructions needed to operate his cultural tool, the Jew must constantly afirm his superiority in order that boundaries between the two groups be firmly set. However, it should be clear that it is the white state of consciousness that the Jew always prefers his host to be in. No matter which society or civilisation the Jew is in the process of penetrating, from Europe to India to China, he prefers individualism or class or caste division in the population to a unity based on national, cultural, or ethnic grounds.
Groups lacking true religiosity, meaning those lacking effective, self-governing, biological group laws promoting unity, are easily splintered and dominated. Because of this they are susceptible to having their resources redirected to the Jew. Christendom, a substantial group competitor of the Jew's at one point, approached at times the heights of Aryanism, but was originally built on an ideology resting on shaky universal ground. This meant that once dissension began within its ranks it could be divided into smaller and more exploitable groups of Catholics and Protestants by those who wielded the Jewish tool. Once the initial division was made these groups could be, and were, divided and separated still further. Any movement away from a larger group, whether initiated by the Jew or not, will be supported by him in some way, for he must constantly pare his competitors down into more easily exploitable units. From feminism to individualism, from youth movements to class struggles, one will find the Jew.
In the same way that the strategy of Judaism is not limited to use by a single ethnic group, the splintering of seemingly cohesive cultural groups by those wielding the Jewish tool is not confined only to white target societies. Wherever a group calling itself Jewish arrives in a territory to procure resources, the same technique is used to lessen the bonds between whichever group is now his competitor. Diverse racial ethnicities, all going by the name "Jew", have exploited and caused rifts between the Mohammedans, between the tribes of Central Asia, and between the peoples of Eastern Asia, not just between the whites. Currently we see the Ashkenazi Jew doing this today with the peoples of China, Persia, and various Arabic Mohammedan lands, attempting to fragment their respective societies in myriad ways through the actions of the governments of the white societies he safely rules. Again, understand, he must do this.
If the members of a previously separated group manage to reunite in a self-defensive collective, raising the status of the individual only if he acts in the interest of the group, the adherents to the Jewish ideology recognise the possible coming loss of resources, and therefore life, for themselves. They know this reunification must be thwarted. When true religiosity awakens in a competitor people and they begin to wield the tool of collectivity as it is meant to be wielded, the Jew will try to stop this by various means. Failing to achieve his goal he always turns to the next logical solution, which is mass murder.
Many of the most terrible slaughters in the West are due to the Jew's propensity for butchering his evolutionary competitors. This is axiomatic. If the Jew cannot successfully divide a people or keep them from unifying, he will always choose to murder at a certain point when he has amassed enough power. We see this not just in the ancient world, where he massacred communities of Greeks, Romans, Arabs, and others whenever given a chance, but also in modern Turkey, Hungary, Rumania, Poland, Russia, Irak and elsewhere. Most markedly and tragically we see it in his destruction of the burgeoning Aryan state in Germany, which had been slowly forming for millennia. How did this happen to Germany? It is no secret. After the horrible European slaughter the Ashkenazi elite helped foment, the Great War, he found himself with enormous power, and he rightly used the power to eliminate or bring to heel his rivals. His appearance in the aftermath of mass slaughter is normal, and is a situation that has repeated itself the world over and throughout the course of history, wherever one looks. Enormous numbers of native elites die in battle, and with their disappearance whatever culture previously existed in their territory is unable to be adequately defended against those who would alter that culture to obtain the resources of that territory for themselves. With the elimination of elites, no matter the cause, an exploitable situation arises for others.
Those possessing a powerful culture will always gain the upper hand when placed in proximity to those with a weaker culture. The Germans' culture, though fertile enough for whites to grow into Aryans, was decade after decade being forcibly changed by the stronger culture of the Ashkenazi. The pressure applied by this alien culture drastically increased after the deaths of those millions of young men and families across Europe in the Great War. Desperate to survive, the choking Aryan of Germany fought back. He brought his enemy into the open, loudly calling attention to the divide between himself and the Jew, which is the very divide the Ashkenazi himself proclaims and lives by. The Jew wants to be a nation apart. His laws are based on the dialectic of unceasing opposition to other nations. He constantly trumpets that he is not like other men. To his fellow Jew he mocks all the other peoples of the world as slaves meant only to be owned by him. He derides them as impure and filthy beasts. His holy books are filled with insults of and slanders against all the human beings on this earth. The Aryan German finally treated the Jew as the Jew treated him, as an outsider. We believed him when he said that he was not like other men, so we acted toward him as if he were not like other men. This was the key. His tool of ethnic unity and insulting descriptions of outsiders was turned against him, and the results were as expected. He began to be forced from positions of power. The native inhabitants were protected from further economic exploitation. Prosperity returned to the homeland. Resources were kept within the cultural boundaries of the indigenous people of Germany.
In contrast to the continental German people, the Anglo-Saxons living on the island next to Europe failed to create an abiding culture that would protect them from open alien subjugation. Riven by class and industrial malaise, they fell to the Jew with nary an open fight in their own land and in every land they had previously colonised. They were a folk that had grown sterile, profligate, and hollow, putty in the hand of capital, therefore putty in the hand of the Jew.
The mighty Aryan Slavs of Russia fought the growing power of the Jew as fiercely as the German did, until they too were bled dry, then murdered and enslaved. The feral remainder of their population was finally directed against the people of Germany and elsewhere.
It was in the heart of Europe that a strongman arose to unite the German nation, a phenomenon which often happens during times of chaos. Alexander of Macedon, Gaius Julius Caesar, Mohammed, Genghis Khan, Napoleon Bonaparte, and the leader of Germany all realised that, in order to preserve their people and their culture, hostile elements within the national body had to first be defeated. With this internecine conflict resolved, the newly united nation had to direct its energy outward to neutralise the external forces that threatened from the perimeter. This cemented the unity of the recently divided nation.
Of all of these mentioned men, and the many others like them, only Mohammed in any way compares to the leader who gained power in Germany, a social and religious reformer the likes of which the world has never seen. He is not to be compared to mere political powermongers, either to his bellicose contemporaries entrenched in the corrupt democracies of his time or to those wretched whores that walk the halls of our European capitals today, doing the bidding of alien bankers. To those whites unable to see the difference between politics and religion, to those that ignorantly believe the fables spun about this man by his enemies, we can but shrug our shoulders. Only the uneducated, only the indoctrinated, only the blind, only those who deserve slavery, only the lazy, only the exploiters, and only the oppressors fail to understand the reality of his and our movement in Europe. People who either cannot or do not want to recognise what our military loss meant to the world are not worthy of being taught, and no time is ever to be wasted on them, for what care we for the thoughts of men who have no power nor any understanding of how to gain power? These deracinated whites who see no line from Arjuna to Brunnhilde to every anonymous soldier slaughtered at Stalingrad are of no worth to us. Only among ourselves, and among most of the non-white peoples of the world, is it clear that the Aryans of Germany drove the Jew out of our lands in order to live.
We suffered for our failure, and we suffer still. The Jew's reaction to those striving to be free of his slavery, or even to those whose lands he is only in the process of initially infiltrating, is always hatred. The Jew hates these goyim because, if they wish to no longer be slaves, he is in danger of losing resources or, if they do not wish to be made slaves, he is being denied access to resources that he needs to grow his organism. It is this murderous hatred, the most powerful hatred the world has ever known and an evolutionary and cultural quality the Jew can never shed, which we have utilised most fully for our own benefit. As one would a team of horses, we have harnessed this hatred alongside another quality of the Jewish collective character, the desire and the will to inevitably transform any civilisation into which he is allowed. With these harnessed traits of his we have ridden roughshod over the whites who stand in our way and who denied us our freedom from the Jew.
It is the Ashkenazi that has allowed us our revenge against the whites. As the destructiveness of the Mongol once reshaped the world, letting new cultures and tribes arise where they previously pillaged and conquered, so too does the destructiveness of the Jew today tear down what must be torn down in order that we might rebuild. Leashing these twin traits of the Jew has allowed us to steadily purge the globe of many former enemies, from the whites of England to the whites of France to the whites of the Christian church. With the point of a finger and a single word he attacks for us. This we will discuss later. But let us at this time briefly continue our crude outlines of the multi-racial, multi-ethnic group known as the Jews, and their relationship with civilisation, for it is the relationship of these two entities that lie at the heart of our campaign and strategy. We speak now of Judaism as a whole but as always our emphasis is on those white Ashkenazim that have taken their tool from the Sephardim and used it to subjugate and murder us and many other peoples.

Joe Hoeffel on the Issues
As a public servant of over 25 years, I have the experience and the grit to help advance an agenda that reflects the progressive values we so dearly need in our country today. When I get back to Congress these issues are the ones that I find most pressing and the ones I will be fervently fighting to address.
Gun Violence
There has been an average of one mass shooting a week since the beginning of 2018. This is simply unacceptable in our society. The massive continuing threat of gun violence must be addressed immediately by our Congress. When I last served in Congress the assault weapons ban was still in effect. Since the ban was lifted we have seen a 37% increase in mass shootings. I will work to address this issue by fighting for the following policy changes:
- Immediately reinstating the assault weapons ban and expanding it to include more dangerous weapons
- Close the gun show loophole which allows buyers on the secondary market to avoid background checks
- Empower Federal Courts to temporarily seize weapons owned by those making threats of violence, with a due process hearing to follow to determine if the weapons should be returned.
Social and Economic Justice
The election of Donald Trump has seen a stark increase in divisiveness and marginalization. The Trump administration's insistence on targeting those with the least power must be stopped and Congress has the power to fight back against these inhumane acts. Along with this, we must address the ever-increasing economic inequality that plagues our country and disproportionately impacts people, and especially women, of color.
- Put an end to implementing mandatory minimums for non-violent drug offenders, these guidelines are racially biased and do irreparable harm to communities of color
- Institute a minimum wage of $15.00 and make sure that the minimum raise will rise with inflation over time
- Pass The DREAM Act immediately and work to create a path to citizenship for military veterans, and young people who have known no home other than this country
The Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare, was one of the great legislative achievements of the Obama Administration. Destroying it, as our current President and his Congressional minions want to do, would be a giant step back for our country. I will fight to preserve the ACA and will help lead the charge to improve our nation's healthcare system further by:
- Pass Medicare for All: Opening up Medicare to all citizens is the surest path to insure that nobody suffers needlessly because they are unable to afford healthcare.
- Pass legislation that requires pharmaceutical companies to negotiate prices with Medicare, just as they do with the VA. This will lower costs for our seniors and for those most in need.
Everybody knows that in today's economy a first-rate education is required to progress in life. We do not do enough to prepare young people for the world they will inherit and, worse, we saddle those that do go to college with exorbitantly high amounts of debt that take a lifetime to pay off. We can, and must, do better if our country is going to continue to be the beacon of hope and opportunity it has been for so many.
- Pass tuition-free community colleges and trade schools for all students
- Fight for fairly funded public schools; kids should have the same opportunity and the same high quality of education no matter where they grow up
- Institute interest-free student loans for college students and a debt forgiveness program that forgives all debt for those who work in public service after five years.
Reproductive Rights
Throughout his career in public service, Joe Hoeffel has fought for reproductive rights for women and he will continue to do so. He believes firmly that it's their body and their choice and will stand against any attempts to limit those rights.
- FIght to make emergency contraception available in the ER
- Fight against attempts to deny women access to birth control or other necessary medical treatment due to the religious beliefs of employers or service providers
Keeping us Safe
Tensions and danger in the international community are nothing new and our country has always strived to face these challenges in a way that keeps us safe and respects the global community. In the age of Trump diplomacy has taken a backseat to insults and twitter rants from our President. We need a Congress that is ready to face these issues and work to restore our place in the global community. Joe Hoeffel's years of service on what is now the Foreign Affairs committee prepares him for this work. On day one he will fight to
- Restore full funding and staffing levels to The State Department
- Craft policy that will restore our place in the global community
- Work towards a lasting peace between Israel and her neighbors that guarantee the security and recognized borders of that great ally and the independence of the Palestinian people.
Economic Security
The reckless tax plan that Trump and the Republicans in Congress have passed is going to be disastrous to our economic stability and our federal budget. Joe knows from experience that our country's budget and economy work best when taxes and government spending are more in line with our needs and that a better balance is struck between military and domestic spending. Simply put, to fund the progressive programs our country needs most we must reorder our policies for both taxation and spending. Joe will fight to:
- Repeal the Trump Tax Plan that was a $1.5 trillion dollar give away to corporations and the wealthiest 1%.
- Decrease military spending to more reasonable levels. Spending three times more than China and nine times more than Russia annually is simply too great an expenditure that leaves a hole in our domestic budget
- Make sure the wealthy and corporations pay their fair share so that the spending we need in education and healthcare become possible.
The Environment & Climate Change
No matter what else we do addressing the issue of climate change and protecting our environment is an absolute necessity both for now and future generations. We simply must put greater emphasis on the world we are passing on to our grandchildren and the generations beyond. At every level of government Joe Hoeffel has fought to protect our environment through protecting open spaces, fighting for clean air and water, and for the reduction of greenhouse gases. Joe will continue this battle in Congress by:
- Fighting to make sure the EPA has the resources and leadership necessary to protect the environment rather than corporate greed.
- Fighting for renewable energy sources and greater emphasis on modern infrastructure which will reduce our carbon footprint.
- Protect our coastline and other areas from dangerous and disruptive drilling that only furthers our dependence on fossil fuels.
