GRTC Pilot Program
Virginia Commonwealth University has entered into a one-year service agreement with The Greater Richmond Transit Company (GRTC) to provide unlimited transportation access on the GRTC Pulse Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) and regular local and express fixed-route bus service for all VCU, VCU Health System, and Virginia Premier ID holders at no cost to the rider.
This transportation initiative, led by Vice President Meredith Weiss and her administration, was recommended in a recently completed campus wide parking and transportation study of the ONE VCU Master Plan and is managed through VCU Parking and Transportation.
The program will operate as a pilot for the upcoming academic year — Aug. 1, 2018 through July 31, 2019. The Campus Connector will continue to provide intracampus transportation service with existing stops through the end of the year. However, beginning in spring 2019, the service will transition to an 'express' route. Shuttles to the remote parking facilities (A, I, M, R lots) will continue to service these locations as normal.
For more details, please read the press release and check out the story on VCU News.
Effective Sunday, February 24, all students and employees will be required to utilize your issued VCU/GRTC GO Pass in addition to your VCU, VCU Health or Virginia Premier ID card to ride GRTC under the pilot program.

Initially, as a VCU, VCU Health System or Virginia Premier student or employee you will simply present your VCU-, VCU Health System- or Virginia Premier-issued ID card to the bus driver upon boarding. Beginning on Sunday, Feb. 24, students and employees will use a VCU/GRTC GO Pass in addition to your VCU, VCU Health or Virginia Premier ID card to ride GRTC under the pilot.
View instructions for using your new VCU/GRTC GO Pass by downloading How to use your GRTC/VCU GO Pass [PDF].
Please note, effective Feb. 24, a VCU, VCU Health System or Virginia Premier-issued ID card is required in addition to your GO Pass to ride GRTC under the pilot program.
Every student and employee will be issued one GO Pass. In the event your pass is lost or stolen, please contact the VCU Parking and Transportation customer service office immediately. A $10 fee will be assessed for a replacement pass. In the event your pass was stolen, a police report must be provided in order for this fee to be waived.
Any VCU, VCU Health System or Virginia Premier student or employee who has been issued a VCU, VCU Health System or Virginia Premier ID card and GO Pass can participate. For questions regarding your status, please contact your Human Resources department.
A valid ID card and VCU/GRTC GO Pass are required to ride GRTC as part of this pilot program. If you have lost/misplaced your ID card, please visit VCU Card for a replacement.
The Campus Connector will continue to provide intracampus transportation service throughout the 2018-19 academic year; however, beginning in spring 2019, the Connector service will be reduced to an 'express' route.
Shuttles to the remote parking facilities (A, I, M, R lots) will not be affected and will continue to service these locations as normal.

2018 Supporter Wristbands
Click here for Wristbands page
Entry to Pride Day is by donation and everyone will be asked for a £3 donation to fundraise for the event and our year-round activity and work as a charity. We do not get funding to make Pride happen. We could not continue without your support.
A great way to support Pride is to get one of our optional Supporter Wristbands. Wristbands offer a visible identifier of a donation towards Pride (so you don't keep being asked) and also offer fantastic rewards and discounts at Pride! in 2017 this included:
– Money off or free items from Pride Day food stalls
– Free bus travel on Pride Day with First Bus (Bristol Inner Zone)
– Discounted £1 journeys with Bristol Ferry Boats
– Those without a wristband will be charged an additional 50p for drinks at the bars.
Pride are also working with local businesses in Bristol to provide those with the supporter wristband even more discounts across Bristol. Day+Nightwristband includes main day benefits and discounts plus free entry to Pride afterparties: The official afterparty at the O2 Academy and The Queenshilling plus partner afterparties to be announced.
Pride costs a lot of money, before we even think about artists payments we have to raise the money to pay for the fees and licence to use the site and then for the stages, marquees, security, fencing, toilets, first aid and even tables and chairs!
Please note Pride Day+Night and Super Supporter tickets afterparties are for those over 18 years of age, to comply with the venue licence laws, and ID will be checked. We are hoping to work with some partners to create an event for under 18s.

Here's an MMO we haven't spoken about in a while. Gpotato's pet focused MMORPG Rappelz just announced its newest update, Epic VIII Part 3. At first glance it's difficult to determine just what the update is about. Naming it Epic VIII Part 3 certainly didn't help, but upon closer inspection we can see it involves new taming options, additional quest lines, and 4 revamped dungeons.
The update expands upon Rappelz taming options by allowing players to tame over 30 of the in-game bosses as their own personal bodyguard buddies. Gpotato says with the influx of boss buddies, each class will be able to acquire a pet that is more relevant to their class.
The four revamped dungeons were actually added in the previous Epic update, but apparently were in need of further revision to allow the dungeons to become more accessible. The revision will provide players with four different versions of the dungeons, each with their own level of difficulty and rewards.
Additional daily quests and a revamped player inventory are also on list of added feature in Part 3. There is currently no word as to when the update will go live for both NA and EU audiences. Rappelz is currently celebrating its 7th anniversary in the US with ingame raffles and free items. For more information regarding the update, you can check out the official preview here.

At one point in time when I was much more naive about MMORPGs I gave this a try. There was a whole lot wrong and very little right. You could say the grind is outrageous, quests are bland, world felt empty with long stretched of nothing. Monsters were uninspired. Hacks, gold spam, tons of griefers (this was before the creation of a PVE only server, before y'all jump at me).
But its biggest sin..the stamina system. Without the bonuses from the stamina system things slowed to a crawl; it was clearly designed with the stamina system in mind and to milk players for it who didn't want to spend forever to get anywhere.
I can respect XP boosters..I've seen it in tons of games. But those games usually had solid BASE experience and you'd get the XP boosters to go MORE quickly..instead of having bad base XP and having solid XP only when you have said bonuses. Rappelz is just god awful and I'm seriously surprised that this game is still alive. Prolly filled with masochists, those who think they're so bad by grinding their lives away, or just people who are clueless/too stubborn to open their eyes and see better options.
My two cents.
I spent less time playing this game, than I did downloading and installing it.
Quite the education on F2P and Euro/Asian games back then. Very eye opening I tells ya.
HAhah I love mmobomb for this. They outright hate this game. If you dig in the archives or were around when they covered this game, especially the last major update…such agrivated anger LOL! And well…they have reason to be. Horrible crap game with bad elements not fixed since launch combined with the shadiest of direction (MMobomb specifically no liking the way management went with hacks and poor content roll out).
These GMs are super shady as well. They are manipulating things (not in a good way) for pure theft and bad service… This game is mostly financed on the eastern side of this planet, and the west is the abused red head soulless ginger child.
Korean MMOs in a nutshell.
Shit Game. Asia Grind crap. Not worth to waste time on this game. Dont try it it will make you sick.
shut up , go awaay with your rage because you can't tame a blue pix ¬¬
Rappelz is awesome to play with friends , alone is hard
Wow I thought this game had died, there were so many hackers, and gold farmers.
when u on top u win :p

About a month ago I made this dip for a party and it was sooo good! My only problem was that I thought it was way too sweet. So, I adjusted the recipe a bit. The coco real is the culprit in the sweetness. One serving of that has 48 grams of sugar! I also have some ideas to improve further on this dip, but for now this is what I have come up with.
4oz Cream Cheese
1/2 Cup Coco Real
1 Cup Whipped Cream
In a small bowl whip the cream cheese to make it smooth. Then add the remaining ingredients and continue whipping until combined.
That's it! 😉
Serve with fruit. Grapes are my favorite.
Notes: Coco Real is an ingredient used to make pina coladas, so you will find it with other alcohol mixers.

GUATEMALA CITY, April 19 (Reuters) - The genocide trial of
former Guatemalan dictator Efrain Rios Montt was mired in
uncertainty on Friday as judges squabbled over who should hear
the case following an order to annul nearly a year-and-a-half of
The trial was suspended on Thursday when Judge Patricia
Flores, who was originally assigned to the case, ruled all
actions taken since she was recused in November 2011 were void,
citing an order from the country's top courts.
But on Friday one of the presiding judges said that order
was illegal and requested the constitutional court resolve the
Rios Montt, 86, is facing charges of genocide and crimes
against humanity for a counterinsurgency plan conceived under
his 1982-83 rule that killed 1,771 members of the Ixil
indigenous group.
The trial took years to set in motion after Rios Montt's
lawyers repeatedly delayed efforts to make the retired general
face prosecution.
Flores' announcement sparked anger among victims of the
country's 1960-1996 civil war, who want the prosecution of Rios
Montt to bring justice. A former Army general, Rios Montt ruled
the country during one of the bloodiest phases of the war.
Yasmin Barrios, who has overseen Rios Montt's trial with two
other judges since it began last month, said Flores' order was
illegal, but suspended the hearings on Friday pending a ruling
by the Constitutional Court to settle the dispute.
"No public official or citizen is obliged to execute illegal
orders ... and this court will not do it," Barrios told the
court in Guatemala City where Rios Montt has been on trial.
More than 100 people applauded Barrios' decision and began
to chant 'justice, justice' as she left the court room.
Flores' intervention came just days before prosecutors had
hoped for a judgment in the trial, which has stirred up powerful
emotions in Guatemala and cast a harsh light on the actions of
the armed forces during the civil war.
More than a hundred victims have testified during the trial,
retelling stories of torture, rape and arson that they endured
during Rios Montt's 17-month rule.
One prosecution witness even implicated President Otto
Perez, himself a retired general, saying that soldiers under his
command carried out atrocities in the war.
The United Nations' human rights office voiced alarm on
Friday at the suspension of the trial, calling it a blow to
victims who have waited decades for justice.
Rights groups in Guatemala also expressed dismay.
"(Flores') decision is unimaginable," said Francisco
Dall'Anese, a prosecutor who heads the U.N.-backed Commission
Against Impunity in Guatemala.
"Guatemala's judicial code is very clear in stating that the
process cannot be rewound to a previous phase that has already
concluded in order to correct errors," he added.
Initially involved in the case, Flores was recused after a
lawyer representing another man then under investigation with
Rios Montt complained she would not be impartial.
She was not informed of the recusal until 2012, when she
stepped down. Prosecuting lawyers appealed that decision and a
court overturned her recusal last month. Defense lawyers then
argued she should have been kept on the case.

Feud: Bette And Joan Puts The Band Back Together For Cousin Charlotte
With Hollywood denying Bette and Joan anything but the trashiest roles, they decide to re-team with Bob Aldrich for a Southern gothic Baby Jane retread. What could go wrong?
With this eight-episode season of Feud structured the way it is -- Baby Jane having been completed, released, and feted by the end of Episode 5 -- we've got three hours' worth of what feels a bit like epilogue to deal with. Sure, the chapter surrounding the production of Whatever Happened To Cousin Charlotte? (which will become Hush...Hush, Sweet Charlotte) is a juicy one. If you've ever seen the film, you know Joan Crawford's participation in it isn't going to last. (And you should see the film, if only for Agnes Moorehead's Oscar-nominated bonkers-as-fuck performance.)
But if the timeline is starting to feel a bit wonky -- in real life, Joan Crawford's brother Hal LeSueur died in 1963, Strait-Jacket got released at the beginning of '64, Sweet Charlottle was released at the end of '64, and My Fair Lady didn't start winning awards for George Cukor until 1965; Feud just kind of squishes them all together -- the themes of the show are becoming more apparent. This week, that means the creeping shadow of mortality that's darkening our characters' doorways.
Everyone from Hedda Hopper to Jack Warner to Bob Aldrich to (of course) Bette and Joan themselves are feeling it: they're talking about legacies and last chances. "If you think it's twilight for us," says Warner, with his characteristic sneer, "it is midnight for them." "Them" is Bette and Joan, who both sign on to Whatever Happened To Cousin Charlotte? out of a sense of desperation that they won't get anything better. The episode is titled "Hagsploitation" not only because this was the trend Baby Jane kicked off, but also because the hag movies were what Bette and Joan (particularly Joan) had to cling to. At least What Ever Happened To Cousin Charlotte? had the chance to be good. So here we are, with two episodes to go: these women despise each other more than ever -- and Bette, for one, thinks the script is trash -- but it's what they've got to work with. For now.
- Hal LeSueur
Everybody please welcome Joan Crawford's blackmailing scumbag of a brother to the show. Don't worry, he won't be staying long. Hal's poor character is pretty easy to suss out, considering he's being played by Raymond J. Barry, best known as Raylan's dad from Justified. So it's no surprise to learn he's been peddling Joan's secrets to Louella Parsons, and will continue...unless Joan can make it worth his while. He also calls Joan "Billie," which was their stepfather's nickname for her when she was young -- the same stepfather who raped her when she was a child, so, yeah, Hal seems like a peach. Pity about that burst appendix.
- Jack Warner
"I'm the last goddamn dinosaur," Warner tells Aldrich, before demanding that he get to work on the next bit of "hagsploitation" they can use to make a quick buck. (It's funny how appalled Ryan Murphy seems to be at Warner for his cruel stoking of the fires of hagsploitation, considering that term seems to apply to pretty much every season of American Horror Story.) While it would be nice to see Warner brought low by either Bette or Joan, we can take small comfort in the fact that Aldrich screwed him over by shopping Charlotte over to Darryl Zanuck at Fox. Though it's tough not to appreciate Warner's choice line after Aldrich delivers a good bit of puffery about his talent and worth: "If the speeches in Charlotte are all as shitty as that one, Zanuck can have it."
- Hedda Hopper
In real life, Hedda Hopper died in 1966. Which would give her a solid two more years in the universe of the show. She'll probably spend all of it being Joan's best frenemy, praising her one minute and the next threatening to expose the supposed "stag film" Joan appeared in when she was younger.
- Joan Crawford
Much as with the success of Baby Jane, Joan can't seem to find a silver lining in her career renaissance in William Castle's horror/slasher pics. She certainly doesn't appreciate having to shlep across the country and back doing Castle's road show, where she would emerge in the aisles wielding an axe like her Strait-Jacket character. We'd feel worse about her getting power-played by Bette on that Charlotte set, but after Joan's weak-ass apology for the Oscar thing, she probably deserves it.
- Mamasita
Good for Mamasita, standing up for herself against a drunken outburst from Joan. "The next time you throw something at my head, I leave you" may sound like the rationale of a battered spouse, but is there any doubt that Mamasita is the one guiding that ship? Taking exception to one of Bette's jibes even made us fear for Bette's safety.
- Bob Aldrich
The bad news for Bob is that his marriage is over, his wife having grown tired of coming in a distant second to his career. The good news is that he manages to sell Joan and Bette on Charlotte AND hand Warner a good solid fuck-you after bringing the picture over to Zanuck. Taking up with Bette on the Baton Rouge Charlotte shoot is probably not going to end up being the greatest of ideas, though.
- William Castle
Holy glorious morning, Murphy went and cast JOHN freaking WATERS to play William Castle. In a lifetime of genius stuntcasting, this one takes the cake. The king of '60s horror schlock played by the king of tasteless indie trash. It's so perfect.
- Bette Davis
"I'm through getting pushed around," Bette tells Aldrich as she makes her demands for creative control on Charlotte. And though she once again presses Joan for a united front, neither actress can help herself. Bette can't resist making snide sideswipes at Joan's bad taste; Joan can't resist overreacting to every slight with a plan to go nuclear. Bette manages to get a few choice zingers in -- "You must have plans after this to accept another award, maybe the Nobel Prize on behalf of Dr. King" -- but at the end of the episode, when Joan catches her, over the phone, in Aldrich's hot tub, her moral authority pretty quickly drains away.

RICHLAND — Andre Cook's family will not be allowed to bring him home for Thanksgiving as they expected.
Instead, the 27-year-old who was injured at the Coyote Ridge Corrections Center in Connell likely will be going back to prison, at least for awhile.
Cook has been in the hospital since he was assaulted Sept. 18. Video from the prison shows Anthony Turner, 42, and Cook talking, reportedly about a football game. Then Turner threw a single punch and Cook fell to the ground, according to the Washington State Department of Corrections.
Cook spent about a month on a respirator at Kadlec Regional Medical Center in Richland, according to his family. Doctors placed him in an induced coma because of severe head injuries, his family said.

More recently, he has been at a long-term care hospital -- a facility that can offer more care than a nursing home -- on the west side of the state.
Within the past week, he has begun walking and seems to be physically recovered, said his sister Courtney Cook.
But he still is suffering the effects of a brain injury, both his family and the Washington State Department of Corrections agree.
He can remember his family, but has limited or no memory of things that happened in the last year, his sister said. He does not remember that he was in Coyote Ridge or the name of his former girlfriend, she said.
He can have a conversation, but sometimes says things that make no sense, she said.
The family had expected him to need inpatient rehabilitation, but more recently learned that could be done on an outpatient basis.
The hospital is ready to release him and his family has met the conditions set by the state to prepare to bring him home, his sister said. That included getting private medical coverage for him. He will need someone with him 24 hours a day and his sister has agreed to do that.
"He has recovered so much more rapidly than expected," said Barb Curtis, the Department of Corrections utilization and nursing services administrator.
The state received his insurance coverage information from the family Monday and still is in the process of getting him approved for extraordinary medical placement, Curtis said.
Extraordinary medical placement is the state's version of compassionate release and must be approved by the state's secretary of corrections. If Cook is approved for it, he would be allowed to live in his father's home in Olympia and would be monitored by the state until his release date in January.
But without that approval yet, he is expected to be released from the hospital to the Monroe Correctional Complex. He would be placed in an inpatient unit, Curtis said.
The Connell Police Department is wrapping up its investigation of the incident that led to Cook's injury and will forward information to the Franklin County prosecutor.
The Department of Corrections also held a hearing and Turner lost 270 days of good time credit, the maximum penalty the department can assess.
Turner has had previous infractions for fighting, disruptive behavior, strong-arming and intimidating, according to Coyote Ridge officials. He has been in prison since November 2009 for a King County residential burglary and is due to be released in December 2013, said the state. He also was in prison from 1991 to 2001.
Cook began serving a term in May for violating a protection order and a burglary in Thurston County.

All Dead
All dead. Those guys in the photo there, they were great writers, guys who could make you laugh, and make you cry. All dead now, their last words? Hunter S Thompson left a note for his wife titled "Football Season Is Over " before he shot himself. Allen Ginsberg said "Toodle-oo!" according to Ken Keysey, who was there when he died; Keysey himself died of complications, medical in nature, but nothing specific. F. Scott Fitzgerald was asked if he wanted anything and, just before he died, he said Hershey bars would be good enough for him. Things you should be aware of: There are no new stories, only new writers. Those guys in the photo - Bukowski, Thompson, Kerouac, Roth, Ginsberg, Keysey, Salinger, Fitzgerald - they already knew that. So time for someone new, someone who can make you laugh, and make you cry.

Illness Management and Recovery (IMR) is a flexible intervention that helps individuals with a serious mental illness acquire information and skills to develop a greater sense of mastery over their mental health. Through a series of modules focused on specific topics, they learn to set meaningful goals and put themselves on a manageable path to recovery.
When IMR is employed effectively, individuals can make progress toward personal recovery. IMR has been shown to have a positive impact on individuals with schizophrenia and serious mood disorders.
MNCAMH training is interactive; this allows clinicians to practice the skills they need to teach individuals with severe mental illness how to manage their disorder in collaboration with professionals and significant others in order to achieve personal recovery goals.
IMR training includes:
- Workshop sessions on the foundational concepts and skills required to implement IMR
- Applied learning and consultation
- IMR Manual (digital and paper copy) and participant materials
- 12 hours of continuing education credits plus 12 additional credits if all consultation is completed
Also available:
- Practitioner evaluation
- Agency fidelity review
MNCAMH offers different levels of IMR training and certification, including four levels of certification that form a credentialing ladder. Read more about building your clinical skills with IMR.
The IMR Practitioner Guides and Handouts has been developed to guide your work with the IMR curriculum. This manual is available for download, though training is recommended for practitioners unfamiliar with IMR.

text: Network-Marketing Did your mother ever warn you when you were a kid about the dangers of hanging out with the wrong crowd? She might not have used the same term, but what she was talking about is the power of association and it is one of the most important principles to think about when building your network marketing business. People will rise or fall to the level of their peer group. Here's a little test you can try. Take the 5 people that you spend the most time with. If you're married your spouse does not count. Now take the income of all five of these people and take an average. You don't have to know the exact number but you should be able to at least make a guess. Chances are that your income will be within 10% of this number. If you're not happy with this income, then one of the most powerful ways you change your personal income is to change the group of people you are spending the most time with. This principle is especially important in your network marketing business. Here are some tips that will help you to take advantage of this principle. 1. Get Around The Most Successful People Find out who the most successful people in your business are. If they are speaking at a meeting, make sure you get to that meeting. If they have written books or made audio cds then make sure to read and listen to them. If at all possible, meet these people. Ask them questions and try to get their advice. Most people at the top received a lot of help from others along the way and are more than happy to help other aspiring business people. 2. Friends This is one of the hardest things to confront for aspiring business owners. We all have friends that are near and dear to our heart, but they may not have the same business aspirations that we do. They will always be your friends, but you absolutely must be mindful of who you spend the most time with if you truly want to succeed in your network marketing business. 3. Family We can't choose our family. You have to love them no matter what. However, if there is a family reunion when there is a big meeting for your business sometimes you have to make a hard decision. If you are serious about making a sizable residual income then you have to realize that your family actually needs you to go to that meeting, even if they don't know it yet. 4. Co-workers Many of you are building your network marketing business on the side outside of your job. If that is your case then you have co-workers. Co-workers are notorious for stealing the dreams of those in this industry. Realize that you only have to work with them during the hours you are at your job and that their opinions mean nothing. Do they help you to pay your bills? No. So they have no say in how you support and plan for your family's financial future. All in all, make sure that you are spending time with people who are succeeding at the level which you want to attain if at all possible. It doesn't just have to be the amount of money. Look at the relationships they have, the company they keep, the talents they possess and the peace in their lives. Your life will tend to be just like theirs so make sure you choose carefully. Each one of these ideas is critical to your success. It's also a good idea to check out some of the other resources available at mlmachiever.com They have some good articles and resources that cover the basics of building a solid network marketing business.

Culture Shock
By Tara OGrady
So let's talk culture shock. Just like being homesick, it's come early. What really puts things into perspective is not when you are surrounded by people who all speak another language, because I was expecting this, but things like paying for water and not leaving a tip are not situations I expected. It's the little things that throw you for a loop. The fact that the cars drive wherever they please, that art is incorporated into the city's driving signs (if there are any), that ashtrays are still on tables at restaurants, that grocery stores make you pay for the bags, that washing machines run for over two hours with a load that's half the size of your weekly dirty laundry, that clothes air dry stiff and scratchy, that the emergency services all have a different phone numbers (the police have two), that tampons are made of cardboard, that alcohol can't be sold after nine in grocery stores, that some coffee places don't offer "take away," that thunder is louder than Marist fire alarms and lasts just as long, and finally, that Clorox wipes are nowhere to be found.
It's the unexpected things, like pigeons flying at your head out of the blue, which make you experience culture shock and feel a sense of homesickness for America. These adjustments are something that I'll most likely get used to, but I must say that the time difference from home will always blow my mind. Twice so far I've wished my mom good morning as she wishes me good night. Being six hours ahead will never not be freaky. The time difference baffles me like the chicken and the egg theory, and I say now that I'll never get over it, but I like to exaggerate. Though, it will probably take me a solid two months to stop comparing every hour what I would be doing in the U.S. at that moment. But, when all is said and done, the buildings, the views, the life, the beauty I've already experienced here in this first week make the adjustment completely worth it.

Muskies have been relating to points and islands with the best spots consisting of a mix of wood and weed cover. The Muskies on area lakes are in the deepest weeds you can find. Rubber baits like bull dawgs along with deep diving crank baits have been working the best to bring these fish up out of the weeds. Good Luck!!

MPs want to create an Arch cru Parliamentary committee to push for higher levels of compensation for investors.
The Financial Mail on Sunday reports that Conservative MPs Guy Opperman and Alun Cairns, Labour MP Tom Greatrex and Jim Shannon, from the Democratic Unionist Party, are calling for a cross-party Arch cru Parliamentary committee to be formed.
This follows last week's Westminster Hall debate, organised by Greatrex, which saw MPs raise concerns about the £54m compensation package the FSA has agreed with Capita, BNY Mellon and HSBC Bank. The package means that alongside distributions already made and remaining assets, investors should receive around 70 per cent of the value of their funds when the range was suspended in March 2009. Investors wanting to take their complaint against these firms to the Financial Ombudsman Service will have their potential payouts capped at the levels agreed through the package.
Responding to MPs' concerns last week, Treasury financial secretary Mark Hoban repeated the FSA's assertion that investors could take action against their IFA to recoup further assets. He also rejected calls for a Government inquiry into the debacle.
Speaking to the Financial Mail, Opperman says: "We need to assist our constituents to get the best outcome. This is an issue that is apolitical and there is a common interest in getting financial justice for Arch Cru investors, many of whom are pensioners and have lost a big slice of their retirement savings. An all-party select committee will assist this process."

How to Prevent and Treat Plantar Warts
A plantar wart is different then other warts and really needs to be treated different. This wart is caused by a virus and digs into the feet. This can become painful over time. There are ways to prevent and treat plantar warts. With a little work, you can keep yourself safe, and get rid of the plantar wart and the virus that causes it as quickly and painlessly as possible should you get a plantar wart.
Preventing Plantar Warts
- Don't share your shoes with other people. The virus that causes plantar warts can be spread and this is the easiest way for this to happen.
- Wear shower shoes when showering in public places. You can get plantar warts, as well as nail fungus and athletes foot from public showers, passed on by other people.
- If a family member has one that is uncovered, clean the shower with shower cleaner, bleach, or floor cleaner after he or she gets out.
While plantar warts can be spread, it is often the case that they appear after a person has caught the virus that causes them. This could be days, weeks, months, and even years after the person caught the virus. Additionally once you have had them once you can have them again at any time without warning.
The classic duck tape is a great item to have on hand for a million and one different uses. However, in addition to fixing all of those household problems and taping the car back together you can also use it to kill your plantar wart. All you need is a little Duck tape and you can become wart free!
Treatment for Plantar Warts
You have several options and some home remedies have a lot of steps and are a lot of work. However, you don't have to use these to get great results. It should be noted that you should never cut the wart out, dig it out, scrape it off, or any other such method. You can spread the wart by having the small pieces going all over, but in addition to that you can also get rid of it, but have it come back bigger, with a deeper root. It is much better to avoid doing this at all cost.
- Amazingly the best treatment option for plantar warts is duck (or duct) tape. You will want a good brand because it will need to be on for awhile. You will want a good sized piece to make sure it covers the wart and holds the tape in place. You will need to leave it there for ten days (if possible). After ten days slowly remove the tape. If the wart was small then you will see white skin pealing, and most likely sections of the wart pulling out of place. If the wart is all gone then you are done. If not, then you need to replace the tape and check it every five to ten days. How long it takes depends on the size of the wart. Many doctors will recommend this method for removing it, however no one really knows why it works. It may be that the wart needs air and the tape locks it out and kills it.
- Mediplast is another option. This one works a little faster, but is more painful and a lot more expensive. These come in small squares and are located behind the counter at the pharmacy so you will have to ask for them. You then cut the metiplast to fit the size of the wart and tape it on. You will check it every few days replacing the metaplast.
- Other products could work, though I have not tried them myself. Compound W is a newer one. Dr. Scholl's also has a product.
These at home methods are easy and effective. There is no need to go to the doctor, to have it frozen or burned off, or any other procedure at the doctor's office.
*For those struggling to keep sticky stuff on their feet you may want to consider an over the counter liquid or gel product that will allow you to use it twice a day, but not have to deal with keeping anything on your foot.
Dr. Scholl's has been known as "The foot doctor" and provides a ton of different products designed to keep your feet healthy and happy. The clear away wart remover uses small discs for plantar wart removing. They are sticky and stay on the wart and are flesh colored to help hide the wart.
Plantar warts are never fun to deal with. Should you get one it is important that you act quickly. Choose a method to get rid of them and get on it. The sooner it is caught the smaller and easier it will be to remove. Stick with the treatment at least six weeks. If you are still having trouble make an appointment to see the doctor. He or she may have some helpful advice or a solution. The reason I don't run to the doctor is that most of the time their methods are similar, time consuming, expensive, and or painful.
I have nothing against home remedies, but not certain it is always true that medical intervention might not be necessary in some cases. Plantar warts have deep roots and depending on how long you've had the wart or warts, your success in completely eliminating the roots may be questionable.
I cannot wait to tell my local podiatrist this Remedy!
i hav a plantar wart and atm i am trying nail polish...it works like duct tape..traps out the oxygen so the wart will die...i dun no if it works though (sigh)
Here here to duct tape--this is the second time I've seen it recommended for Plantar's warts. Great hub!
This was very informative! I may have a wart on my finger, so I wanted to see what my options were. Thanks for sharing!

A virtual backpack journey in Europe through the 20th century. Let's go to the cold Norway and let's do two famous sports…. Let's see the Norwegian Winter!. Skiing as a sport has been a great success for more than 100 years.

Skiing as a sport has been a great success for more than 100 years.
In Norway, on the island of Roday, the explorers found a rock scratch portraying a ski-men.
So skiing came from Northern-Europe.
First of all, people used skiing for military aims, and then they used it in the every-day life.
In 1868 a Norwegian man, called Sondre Nordheim revolutionized skiing.
From this time on, skiing was considered to be a very popular sport…
In 1965 Sherman Poppen saw his daughter sliding down the hillside just as she was standing on a sledge, so he quickly made a board which is thought to be the "father of snowboard." It was a great success.
Later Jake Burton Carpenter revolutionized snowboarding in 1968, which was called "snurfer" then. In 1977 Jake established a factory.
On the ski-course the skimen were not happy to see the spreading of the snowboard. According to them the snowboard wasn't safe, that's why they quarrelled a lot. Borders then went to the courses and they were supposed to be "bustards".
Today they became calm and the skiers are skiing on the skicourses, while boarders are looking for the opportunity to do their sport in the pure snow or halfpipe…
After the cold winter of Norway, let's go to Germany and find out information about BMW, king of cars.
Although BMW's current fame and reputation as one of the greatest automobile manufacturers can be mostly linked to models produced in the last two decades, the history of the marque stretches back almost 90 years and contains numerous achievements that have established it as a benchmark.
The origins of BMW traces back to 1913 when Karl Friedrich Rapp, a Bavarian who had been a well-known engineer in a German aircraft company, formed Rapp Motoren Werke in a suburb of Munich. The company specialized in airplane engines however Rapp found that they were problematic and suffered from excessive vibration. Nearby, Gustav Otto, also an airplane specialist, set up his own shop, Gustav Flugmaschinefabrik, building small aircraft.
Because of the faulty engines, Rapp Motoren Werke secured a contract with Austro-Daimler, who was unable to meet its demands, to build V12 Aero engines under license. The company expanded too quickly, however, and by 1916 Rapp resigned from the company because of financial troubles. In his place Franz Josef Popp and Max Friz, two Austrians, took over the company. In March the same year, Rapp Motoren Werke merged with Gustav Flugmaschinefabrik to form Bayersiche Flugzeungwerke. Shortly afterwards they renamed Bayersiche Motoren Werke (Bavarian Motor Works), or BMW, forming the company we know today.
In 1917, BMW's first aircraft engine went into production, the 6 cylinder Type IIIa. In 1919, using an aircraft powered by its successor, the Type IV, Franz Zeno Diemer set an altitude record of 9,760 metres (32,013 ft). After the Treaty of Versailles was signed in the same year, prohibiting BMW from building aircraft engines, production switched to air brakes for railway cars. When BMW started once again to build aircraft engines in 1922, not fewer than 29 world records in aviation were set with them. The current BMW logo, introduced in 1920, was based on the circular design of an aircraft propeller.
The first BMW motorcycle, the R 32, went into production in 1923 at the newly constructed Eisenach factory next to the Munich airport of the day. The R 32 used a flat-twin engine transversely mounted in a double-tubular frame producing 8.5 horsepower at 3300 rpm. The 2-cylinder 494cc motorcycle could reach a top speed of 59 mph (95 km/h). BMW manufactured 3090 of them during its 3 year life span.
It was 1928 that made history in terms of the BMW car. Produced at the Eisenbach factory, the Dixi 3/15 PS marked the beginning of BMW automobile production. It was built under license from Austin and was essentially the same model as the US Bantam and the Japanese Datsun. The first Dixis used an open roof and were powered by a 743cc 4 cylinder engine producing 15 horsepower. Top speed was in the neighbourhood of 50 mph (80 km/h). In 1929 a new improved version was launched, the DA2, which
employed an all-steel body and 4-wheel brakes, and in 1930 the Dixi scored its first wins in motor racing. Total production: 18,976 units.
1932 was the year the BMW AM 4 (Ausfuhrung Munchen 4 Gange - Munich Version 4 Speeds) - a.k.a. BMW's first "real" car - went into production. The AM 4, also called the 3/20 PS, was the successor to the Dixi and the first production car to be built entirely in-house by BMW. The powerplant was a 782cc 4 cylinder unit which featured suspended valves and a double chain driving the camshafts, producing 20 horsepower at 3500 rpm and providing the saloon with a 50 mph top speed.
The next year mark ed the introduction of the 303 saloon and the first BMW inline-six cylinder power unit, a configuration that remains BMW's typical choice even in contemporary cars. The 303 was also the first BMW to use the twin-kidney shaped radiator grilles, another cur rent trademark. Using a welded tubular steel frame, independent front suspension and rack and pinion steering, the 303 was a benchmark in technological achievements. Its 1173cc engine provided 30 horsepower and a top speed of 56 mph (90 km/h).
3 years later, in 1936, the BMW 328 was introduced. It was the most popular and remains BMW's most famous pre-war sports car, the successor to the 315/1 (1934-36). The 328 was built mainly for motor sport, where it proved itself successful by winning the Mille Miglia in Italy in its class in 1938, but quickly became a popular road car as well. A curb weight of only 1830 lb was achieved through the use of an extra-light tubular spaceframe and light alloy parts for the hood, doors and tail end. Using a 1971cc inline-6 cylinder engine with three carburettors that produced a healthy 80 horsepower at 5000 rpm, the 328 could reach a maximum speed of 93 mph (150 km/h). 462 units of this classic were produced in total.
In 1935 BMW entered the record books once again, this time on two wheels. Riding a streamlined 500cc compressor machine developing 108 hp and an amazing power-to-weigh ratio (282 lb curb weight), Ernst Henne set a world speed record for motorcycles of 173.7 mph (279.5 km/h) in 1937. It stood for nearly two decades.
BMW's success was unfortunately short lived. After the Second World War, the company lay in ruins. Its factories had been destroyed or dismantled and a three-year ban on any production activities was imposed by the Allies in response to the production of aircraft engines and rockets by BMW during the War. The first post war model, the V8 equipped 501 luxury sedan produced in 1951 was a poor production choice for a country that was also devastated by the war. Demand was low and the 501 did not even com e close to meeting BMW's expectations.
It was a totally different approach that started to bring BMW back on its feet. In 1955, the Isetta 250 was launched and participated very successfully in the mini-car era of the 1950's. It was built under license from the Italian manufacturer Iso and used a motorcycle engine and a single door at the front. The engine was a single cylinder 245cc unit producing 12 horsepower at 5800
rpm and a top speed of 53 mph (85 km/h). During its 7 year production run a total of 161,728 Isettas were built.
A couple of years later, with BMW still having no secure financial foothold, one of the most memorable models in its history was introduced. Launched in 1956, the BMW 507 quickly became famous. The light-alloy 2-door bodyshell with a retractable soft top, designed by Alberecht Graf Foertz, has remained timeless as evidenced by the newly introduced Z8, which draws unmistakable clues and its overall shape from it. A large 3168cc V8 engine using dual downdraught carburettors powered the 507 and provided 150 horsepower at 5000rpm, enough for an impressive 124 mph top speed (200 km/h) but not enough to topple its main rival, the Mercedes 300SL. While only 252 examples of the instantly recognizable 507 were ever produced, it remains a symbol of BMW's struggles and ultimate triumphs during the fifties after the end of the War.
The next step in BMW's evolution and the predecessor to the cars we know today was launched in 1962. The 1500, which had been developed during the crisis of the '50s, was another of BMW's saviors. The excellent suspension and striking design for its time, employing a low waistline with a low-slung engine compartment and rear lid characterized the 1500. A 1499cc 4-cylinder engine producing 80 horsepower at 5700 rpm and providing a top speed of 92 mph (148 km/h) powered it. During its two year production run sales amounted to only 23,807 units; however between all of the models in its range (1500,1600,1800,2000) production totaled 334,165 cars. Based on these cars, the first generation 5 series, the E12, was launched 10 years later in 1972. The 3 series was introduced 3 years later and the 7 series 2 years after that, in 1977.
In 1990 BMW re-entered the aircraft engine manufacturing business after forming BMW Rolls-Royce GmbH jointly with Rolls Royce. In 1998, after extended talks concerning the sale of Rolls Royce, BMW officially bought the rights to the Rolls Royce name and logo from Volkswagen, with the transition expected to take place in 2003. 1994 brought about another purchase, as BMW acquired the Rover Group PLC. After heavy losses, the company was finally sold in 2000, with Rover being split up from Land Rover which was purchased by Ford. BMW held the rights to the new Mini and the hot-hatch goes on sale in early 2002.
Today, the Z3, Z8 and all of the 3, 5, 7 and Motorsport series models continue the BMW tradition of building excellent automobiles with a special emphasis on performance, style and technological advancements. 1992 was another year-to-be-remembered for BMW when it, for the first time, outsold Mercedes in Europe. Hopefully in the future the rivalry between these and other makes will persist and companies such as BMW will continue to build great cars.
This is BMW.
Now let's go back to the past, to Austria in 1955 and look for information about the International Treaty.
…at that time.
Fifty years have elapsed since the end of National Socialism and the Second World War. In 1945, Austria was liberated and occupied by Allied troops - Americans, Englishmen, Frenchmen and Soviets. A round-numbered anniversary such as this motivates us to reflect upon these historic events, and provides both a tangible and impelling opportunity to once again bring together those who first confronted each other in 1945 as "liberators and liberated," "victors and vanquished," "occupiers and the occupied."
On May 15, 1955, the foreign ministers of Austria, France, the United Kingdom, the United States, and the U.S.S.R. signed a State Treaty which restored the Austrian Federal Republic as an independent and sovereign state. Austria had been merged with Germany by Hitler who occupied the country in...
The Occupied Austria, 1945-1955
In 1945, Austria was treated as a defeated nation, like Germany partitioned into 4 zones of occupation, as was the capital city of Vienna (which coincidentally, as in the case of Berlin, was completely surrounded by the Soviet zone of occupation). Austria had been regarded as the first victim of Nazi aggression, but Austrians had contributed to the Nazi atrocities; Austrians such as ERNST KALTENBRUNNER and ARTHUR SEYSS-INQUART were among the defendants in the Nuremberg War Crimes Trials. In theory, Austria was to be jointly administrated by the 4 Allied powers; relations between the Soviets and the western allies soon turned sour. It was only in 1955 that a STAATSVERTRAG was negotiated, according to which the Allies withdrew from Austria, granting independence, under the (Soviet) condition of political neutrality.
Despite the partition in 4 zones of occupation, Austria was treated as one political unit (a state to be); a democratic constitution (1945) laid the foundation for the reemergence of political parties etc. Austrians were given the right to administrate their own affairs, as long as they got approval from the Allies (i.e. the approval from every one of the 4 Allies) for their measures. Under the circumstances - there was a considerable refugee problem, the economy had to be set on a peacetime footing again, many men had fallen in the war or were still P.O.W.s, others were suddenly returning - political infights took second stage and a GRAND COALITION was formed to asministrate political affairs, consisting of two large parties - the ÖVP (Peoples Party), the SPOe (social democrats) and one smaller party, the communists. The independents (liberals) would form an opposition. The constitution of 1920 (with 1929 amendments) was readopted. In 1946-1947 a policy of DENAZIFICATION was pursued to eliminate ex-Nazis from administration and the economy. From 1948 onward, Austria benefitted from MARSHALL AID, which was very instrumental in overcoming the severe economic crisis. After difficult negotiations, in 1955 Austria was released into independence; the STAATSVERTRAG contained the condition that Austria had to pursue a policy of neutrality.
Born on 28th October 1963 at Cinecittà, Rome, "where it is easier to dream than face reality", Eros spent much of his boyhood working as an extra in the movies and dreaming about a fantastic career as a singer, encouraged by his father Rodolfo, a housepainter who had also recorded some songs. When he had finished secondary school, Eros tried to get into the Conservatory but failed the entrance exam, and chose to study accountancy. But all he could think about was music, and he dropped out after two years.
Eros Luciano Walter Ramazzotti Molina (later Eros Ramazotti) was bornon 28th, October, 1963, in Rome's San Giovanni Hospital, Italy. The son of Rodolfo Ramazzotti y Raffaella Molina,was raised in the Cinecittà neighborhood. Since his teens showed a natural passion for music, Eros tried to be admitted in the Music Conservatory, but he failed the previous evaluation.
In 1982 his first 45 rpm single, 'Ad un Amico', was introduced. In 1984, Eros participated for the first time in the San Remo Festival and won that contest with his song 'Terra Promessa'. In 1985 he participated once again and placed sixth. The following year, a third participation in the same event gave Eros the victory in the principal category with 'Adesso Tu'. Then, his second album 'Nuovi Eroi' was launched. In 1987, the third one came as 'In Certi Momenti', which raised him to the top in Europe. 'Musica È', his fourth album came in 1988. Two years later 'In Ogni Senso' with its song 'Cantico' was launched. Eros would made a tour almost all over the world.
In 1993, his new album 'Tutte Storie' was introduced. Eros quit from DDD records and founded his own record company, 'Radiorama'. On May 1996 he launched his first production 'Dove C'è Musica', completely from his inspiration. Some month later, his wife, Swiss model Michelle Hunziker, gave birth to their daughter in Lugano, Suiza.
Other 3 works would become to markets: Eros, Eros Live (both in 1998) and Stile Libero (2000). Eros Ramazzotti' success not only in Italian audiences, but in Spanish ones, too. Proof of that is his Spanish versions of 'Tutte Storie', 'Dove C'è Musica', 'Eros and 'Stile Libero'; besides his appereances and recordings with American singers such as Tina Turner and Cher.
As a Latin-pop singer, Eros Ramazzotti became especially popular in Germany, Mexico and Argentina (as well as in Italy) during the '90s, and he has sold over 20 million records worldwide, though his success in America has been limited.
Italian singer and actress Anna Oxa, aka "la Voce e il Cuore" (the Voice and the Heart), debuted with a song called "Fiorellin del Prato" at the age of 15. Two years later, the promising singer came in second place after participating in the prestigious San Remo's Festival with "Una Emozione da Poco." In the local film industry, Anna Oxa had the opportunity to play a main role for the first time in the movie Machio, Femina, Fiore, Frutto directed by Ruggero Miti.
After issuing her debut album, called Oxanna, the young Italian pop artist recorded Anna Oxa, including a successful version of Patti Smith's "Because the Night." In 1982, Anna Oxa left RCA and signed up with CBS before releasing her breakthrough album, Per Sognare, Per Cantare, Per Ballare, featuring the hit single "Senza di Me" (What About Me). ~ Drago Bonacich, All Music Guide

A new series, "Things I Remember About," prompted a Facebook page and get-togethers for East Bloomfield/Holcomb folks
Kevin Cotter's 1973 graduating class from Bloomfield Central School had 113 students, but within days of creating a Facebook page Aug. 7 for people to share memories — "Things I remember about East Bloomfield/Holcomb" — dozens of posts began flooding the site.
And in less than two weeks, there were nearly 1,000 posts from people all over recounting and sharing everything from school antics to first loves. Memories of landmarks like the Holcomb Agway; of Cheap Charlie's, started when Cotter's dad, Charles R. Cotter, turned an old blacksmith shop into a restaurant; of the bar at the old tuberculosis hospital on Oakmount Avenue — they all evoked stories and anecdotes. Sentimental thoughts, too.
"I remember the sound of Perry Hawkins' tractor, with the discs behind, driving down Michigan Street to start plowing everyone's garden," posted Linda Hamlin. "It was a sure sign of summer approaching and school ending. When he returned to 'drag' the plowed patch, we all rode on the contraption to weight it down and it took days to get the dust out of our hair. Allowed today? I think not."
Chrisann Philipson, Bloomfield class of '76, asked people to share their 'secret crush.'
"Everybody was willing to say," said Philipson, who is savoring old photos of prom nights and school clubs and memories of teachers and classes and chatting about how communication used to be: Party lines. "They were big then and you could eavesdrop."
"I am enjoying the memories. One memory spurs five or six things you have forgotten for decades," said Kendall Keyes, Bloomfield class of '74. When Philipson saw an old photo that Keyes had posted of himself, she noted a striking resemblance to the Ed Grimley character played by Martin Short. So she posted a photo of the comic, pointing out the fact. Then somebody in the Facebook group placed the Ed Grimley/Kendall Keyes photos side by side.
"I laughed harder than I have in a long time," said Philipson, who lives in Bristol.
So did Keyes, who added he has never been to a high school reunion and thinks this is even better. He has chatted with grads from the 1960s right up to grads from the past decade, he said. For those you knew back then, "it gives you a chance to let people know they meant something to you, to express your admiration," said Keyes, who lives in Bloomfield and grew up in West Bloomfield.
"I've connected with old friends I haven't seen in 30 years," said Cotter, pastor at Cheshire Community Church on Route 21.
On Aug. 17, members of the Facebook group had a spontaneous gathering at the Sand Bar at Inn on the Lake in Canandaigua. Another gathering is planned for Sept. 11.
Philipson said there are people from her graduating class she could walk by on the street and "not know who they are." But as soon as she hopped on the memory page, saw their pictures and began sharing, it was like no time had passed.
Along with plenty of humor, the page has also evoked some serious discussions, as well as sharing and logging information about those who have died, said Cotter. People have been candid in expressing opinions, he said, while also showing compassion.
"Everyone has been really kind," he said.

A baby has been innate in China to a broker mom 4 years after his relatives died in a automobile crash, Chinese media reported.
The couple, who died in 2013, had solidified several embryos anticipating to have a child by IVF.
After a accident, their relatives fought a prolonged authorised conflict to be authorised to use a embryos.
The child was innate in Dec to a broker from Laos and The Beijing News initial reported a box this week.
The journal explained how a miss of fashion for a box of this kind had forced a defunct couple's relatives by a authorised minefield before a surrogacy could proceed.
No precedent
At a time of a accident, a embryos were stored safely in a Nanjing hospital, solidified during reduction 196 degrees in a glass nitrogen tank.
A justice conflict gave a 4 grandparents-to-be a right over a fertilised eggs.
There was no fashion as to either they could get their children's solidified embryos, according to reports.
They were eventually postulated a embryos, yet it wasn't prolonged until a subsequent problem occurred. The embryos could usually be taken from a Nanjing sanatorium if there was explanation that another sanatorium would store them.
But given a authorised doubt around untransplanted embryos, it was tough to find another medical establishment in China peaceful to get involved.
And with surrogacy bootleg in China, a usually picturesque choice was to demeanour over a country's borders.
Proving paternity and nationality
Eventually, a destiny grandparents worked with a surrogacy group and motionless on Laos, where blurb surrogacy was legal.
As no airline was peaceful to accept a thermos-sized bottle of glass nitrogen, a changed load had to be ecstatic by car.
In Laos, a bud was ingrained into a womb of a broker mom and in Dec 2017 a child was born.
Citizenship of a child, named Tiantian, was another problem yet and so he was innate not in Laos yet in China – with a broker travelling there on a elementary traveller visa.
With no relatives left to infer paternity, all 4 grandparents had to give blood and take DNA tests to settle that a baby was indeed their grandson and that both relatives had been Chinese nationals.

The Only Time Maxine Waters Cares About Borders
The Only Time Maxine Waters Cares About Borders
By Michael Shannon
If you'd told me last week there were two California politicians who believed in borders, proving residency and preventing identity theft I would have thought you were auditioning for an anchor chair on CNN.
Even one actually happening would not have seemed even remotely possible, yet all three were witnessed by credible observers.
Let's start with Rep. Maxine Waters. Maxine is the Alex Jones of the left. She shows up spouting conspiracy theories that no one outside an "antifa" seance could possibly believe. But instead of being sidelined by major media outlets, Maxine is the face of "The Resistance" in the Opposition Media because her crackpot theories usually involve President Trump.
Since the networks are desperate to find an officeholder that will say aloud what reporters are thinking, they overlook the stench of corruption that has followed Waters throughout her political career.
Maxine is a stanch open borders advocate with a zero rating from both the Federation for American Immigration Reform and US Border Control. She supports amnesty and opposes making English the official language.
Maxine isn't bothered by the fact illegals take the jobs her black constituency formerly filled. She's also unconcerned about importing Juarez wage levels since her $174,000 salary courtesy of the taxpayer is unaffected.
That all changed just prior to a recent town hall meeting in Gardena, CA. Waters decided to join the Border Patrol when she got word that a small group of invaders was poised to jump the boundary and make their way into her district.
Waters' staff asked for identification from everyone who pre----registered to attend. Frankly Waters' is one of the last offices where I'd expect to hear a demand for "papers, please." Democrats assure us asking for photo ID before voting is an unconstitutional imposition on a citizen's rights, but requiring a complete document workup before entering a Waters' town hall is...well in this case it was attendance suppression.
Pre----registered attendees that didn't live in her district were given yellow wristbands - somehow they overlooked including a Star of David - then when the meeting began everyone with a yellow band was barred from entering.
That meant approximately 50 Trump supporters were kept outside. If only the Trumpistas had followed the example of future Democrats from Central America and claimed to be Trump refugees. Once inside they could have turned on Waters and demonstrated outraged ingratitude - just like real refugees.
This whole "Maxine Joins the Migra" was particularly ironic since the LA Times points out Waters doesn't even live in her district.
Congressman Rod Blum (R----Iowa), who does live in his district, was pilloried in May when his staff prescreened attendees to make sure they were residents. An ignorant local TV news poodle ambushed Blum and demanded to know why his staff was asking for proof of residency when "you represent all Iowans...shouldn't all Iowans have a voice at the table or at least have the option to?"
Evidently the OpMedia thinks asking for ID in Iowa is Nazi----like, but is fine with Waters only representing district residents and OneUnited bank.
The only surprising element in Waters new documentation regime was the absence of recent legal documentation convert Attorney General Xavier Becerra.
Becerra's new crackdown on false driver's licenses flies in the face of the state's official policy on identity theft.
I'm sure you've heard of so----called victimless crimes where breaking the law allegedly hurts no one? Offenses like dope smoking, 'ho poking and conservative stroking? California has gone one better, identity theft is now a perpetrator----less crime, where the law is broken but no one is guilty.
State Senate President Pro Tem Kevin De Leon wants no enforcement of identity theft because "half my family would be eligible for deportation."
Becerra has decided that there are exceptions to the De Leon rule. Particularly if you're an Anglo and you've embarrassed Planned Parenthood. Xavier indicted David Daleiden on 14 felony counts in connection with his undercover expose of Planned Parenthood's sale of baby body parts. One of the counts included applying for a fake driver's license using a fictitious name.
We know this is serious because Daleiden wasn't even in possession of the license during a DUI arrest and Becerra still threw the libro at him.
Many would label these examples of selective rule enforcement and law enforcement as a double standard. While accurate, that only scratches the surface. What Waters, Becerra and California politics exemplify is Venezuela on the installment plan.
The power of government is used to curry favor with approved ethnic groups and reward correct political thinking. This continues until the money for handouts is gone or the punished rise up. Then Waters, Becerra and left will learn reality eventually resides in every district.

Your Full Planets in Houses Analysis is the core in understanding yourself through astrology.
Why some happy events just happen when we least expect them? Why we struggle and struggle in some life matters but cannot succeed? Why we repeat the same mistakes over and over? Why we perceive ourselves and the world around us like we do and it's hard to change the way?
The point is that the planetary positions during the time of your birth create a stereotypical pattern which your life tends to follow.
Every astrological house rules certain matters of our lives, and so the presence of a planet in that house can show us a lot about how we perceive those matters, what actions we do, as well as how our surroundings and reality affect them. Each planet brings forth different types of energy, whether positive or negative which has an effect on our whole life.
For example, natal placement of Jupiter in the Second House guarantees your luck in financial issues, like in the charts of Bill Gates and Donald Trump. Natal Sun in the 9th House grants extremely high possibility of traveling and even moving for permanent living to some foreign country. Pluto location in the 5thhouse indicates a very intense love life that can even be full of obsessions, etc and etc!

On our site you can get acquainted with the dogs in and around our house.
Our dogs have a friendly nature, and our aim is therefore to keep it that way.
Breeding in character is an important element and that should not be forgotten.
After all, you would like tobring your dog with you anywhere and
the animal should be reliable for humans and other animals.
You will undoubtedly have questions about the breed and its characteristics.
Ask us via our email and we will do our best to find the right answer.
Since 1982 we are breeders of this wonderful breed and can rely on great experience. We are linebreeding breeders. Connoisseurs will notice this. We have a large pack and that has its advantages, especially since we always keep some puppies. This makes and keeps the dog steady. That is our goal
Because we are the largest breeder of this breed in the world we are somtimes watched wits Argus-eyes. We are quickly labeled as commercial 'breeder' However, the one who says this, is someone who has absolutely no knowledge of the breed itself. We would even go so far as to claim that this kind of people only only do this to provoke and to damage. Let them take a closer look at the qualities of our dogs! In behavioral / shows / hunting. You will see many of our dogs and relatives are rewarded with prices.
In fact … they usually do not even breed! Often they are ignorant in breeding. The so-called "backyard breeders" have very many different breeds of dogs in poor conditions and are not performing pedigree and health visits. Do notgo to shows and meetings etc. etc. These people only think about their wallet and not aboute preservation of the breed and health of the dogs.
Such people do no good to our breed!
Do not be fooled into thinking that there are 2 types of Drenthe, namely small and larger type! That is not correct. There is only one standard and that is that the breed association! They should not try to hide a mistake that way.
We breed according to the rules of the association and have nothing to hide. On the contrary. We help many breeders starting their kennel and help in showing the dogs, and also in choosing the stud dog for their bitch.
Visit the website of the association to see how many people we work with. That pleases us. Working together is the beginning of understanding and the preservation of the breed. Beware with what is written on the various forums and ads that circulate on the Internet. It is better to direct the association to call and ask for puppy info. That gives you an honest address.
Our dogs are bred for character and type. We pay very good attention on the health of a dog. If the dog is not suitable for breeding then this does not happen. Many of our dogs are house dogs and sociabile. The Drent is indeed a great friend of man and loves children.
In addition, a number of Drenthe also used for hunting (we hunt ourselfs) and as dogs accompanying disabled. Touching to see.
Then there is the dog Loki Fan't Suydevelt '. Trained and used as rescue dog, searching for victims in the rubble in an earthquake.
A great achievement of the owners Horenberg Frank and Anne-Fleur van der Molen from Groningen. Loki, got the Debris-A diploma in Germany! A very difficult task under difficult circumstances!
