text: Davi Kopenawa Yanomami was born 34 years ago in Toototobi, Brazil, in the heart of the Yanomami territory called Kopenawa. Davi learned Portuguese with missionaries from the New Tribes Mission, who worked with recently contacted groups in the region. He witnessed the disappearance of a good part of this wife's family--victims of disease brought to the Yanomami territory by workers building the Perimetral Norte readway, which was started int early 1970's. He began working for FUNAI, the Brazilian government's Indian organization, 10 years ago at attraction posts for other Indians who were considered by FUNAI to be "uncontacted." He also worked in various Yanomami villages accompanying health workers. Now he is the head of the Indian post of FUNAI in Demii, in the center of Yanomami territory. He is the son-in-law of the traditional leader, with whom he apprenticed to be a shaman (a spiritual leader). Ever since the great rubber tapper invasion into Yanomami territory in 1987, Davi has set out to defend his people's land and to fight for the creation of the Yanomami Park and for the removal of the rubber tappers. He has received death threats fro the rubber tappers employers. In this context, he received an award from the United Nations Environmental Program in 1988, adding his name to a list of distinguished recipients such a Chico Mendes, the assassinated leader of the rubber tappers of Acre. -------------------------------------------------------------------- AN OPEN LETTER TO ALL PEOPLES OF THE EARTH from Davi Kopenawa Yanomami. " The government is not respecting us. He thinks of us a animals. We have the right to protest. People from the outside please help us... If we don't do something , they won't be able to help. If we send them a letter, they will put pressure on our government, stir things up. I am thinking of many things. I am Yanomami. We Yanomami thought that the white man was good to us. Now I am seeing that is is the last invasion of indigenous land--the rest has already been invaded. They came to take our land. They are taking it. Other people from the outside are teaching the Brazilian people how to destroy our land. The same thing happened to our brothers in North America and now it happens on our land. The government shouldn\t do this. He knows that we are the oldest Brazilians, that we were born here, that we are called Yanomami. Our name is known throughout the world. We know about money, shoes, clothes; (but) few Yanomami understand what is happening. The government took us by surprise. I am beginning to understand. The government doesn't know our customs or thoughts. We also don't know the customs and thoughts of the government. They only know money, and our thoughts are on the land. Our interest is to preserve the land, to not create disease for the Brazilian people, nor the Indians. Miners and squatters don't have land--that is why they invade Indian land. If they had their own land, they wouldn't invade our area. I also see white people suffering in the city, hunger, everthing is expensive, homelessness, lack of food, everyone is suffering. They are worried, but they don't have the courage to pressure our president [Jose Sarney, president of Brazil].He is also deceiving his people because Sarney is telling other nations that they are not destroying our land, making roads, mining our land. The government is also telling other rich men, when he asks for money from outside, the rich man gives money to mistreat our land. The rivers, the fish, the jungles are asking for help, but the government doesn't know how to listen. He says that we are going to die of hunger if we shut the mine. If they don't quit mining, then yes, we will die of hunger. But if they stop mining we can plant manioc, banana, sweet potatoes, papaya, cana, peach palm, and nobody will die of hunger. We Yanomami want our own land. We don't want to lose our customs. We have still not lost our language or the land. This is why we fight. This government (says it) is our chief, but it is not helping the Brazilian people to live in peace. We are united, all of the Indians of Brazil, we don't want to fight with other relations. They are already starting to deceive us, like what happened to the Macuxi and other Indians. They start by saying that the priest is not good, that he doesn\t give presents, that Davi is not good. They put brother against brother to weaken us. The other Yanomami chiefs who have never been here, that have never had contact with whites, don't know what is happening here. I know. They are trying to use me because I am well known, but I won't let them. So they use the weaker ones first, other chiefs that don't speak Portuguese--they think that the miners are their friends, and will always be their friends. The miner gives them food, and clothes, but time passes and the whites start to say that the Indian isn't good for anything, that he doesn\t work, only begs,and they will call us vultures, those who do not hunt anymore, don't fish, live off of scraps, the scraps from the plates of the whites. They no longer know how to work, to fish, they only ask. They forget how to pick fruit in the jungle, they forget their customs, they forget their language. I don't want to lose this; into my community I don't want to allow the miner to enter. I want to continue as it was before. I am very worried about our childern. They are going to suffer more now. I always remember the grand-children. They are going to suffer more than we if we dont fight to defend, to save the life of our peoples.The government says that the land is not ours. We can fish, make gardens, hunt,use the lake, river. He says that we are using government land, but the land is ours. We have known it (since time's beginning). The government is not good. We (give) but he does not give. This is why it is costing us the demarcation, this is why he doesn't want to demarcate the Yanomami land. Within the Yanomami land there are many things that he wants to use, there are minerals, gold, tin ore, wood, (the land) can be used for planting. And he only speaks to us from hiding, from his office, he doesn\t call us to decide,to see if the Indian agrees. But I am not for myself in this fight, no , I am fighting to defend my people, the Yanomami. And not only my people, but also the Wapixana, Ingariko, Macuxi, and other relations. We are trying to help. We can give support to those who don't know how to defend themselves, explain what is happening to those who don\t understand. We Yanomami are dying of malaria gripe, dysentery, veneral disease, measles,chicken pox., and other diseases that the Indian as yet doesn\t know of, brought in from the outside by the miners. We are not able to cure the disease. The shamans can\t cure them. Disease of bullets, shamans can't cure. Diseases of Indian can be cured, but not of white people. I always ask FUNAI, but FUNAI doesn't take any recourses. I also asked the president, Jose Sarney, to remove the miners from Yanomami land. The president promised to remove the miners immediately, but he did nothing , only allowed them to continue invading ou land. We Yanomami think that he does not like to help the Indian people of Brazil. I know that he is against us. He does not want to demarcate our land. I received a lot of news from relations that live at the head of Catrimani River, from the Macujai River head of the Catrimani River, from the Macujai River and the Parmiu River, on the border of Venezuela. The relations told me thah there are four empty villages; everyone died--childern, adults, young people.In the Xideatheri, Ahuahipiktheri, and Pahaiatheri villatges, everyone died, and others continue to die because of lack of help. FUNAI knows that many Yanomami are dying, but it isn't doing anything. A few people in FUNAI want to work, but they dont have any support. In their communites on the Macujai River, my relations are hurt by the miners. They have learned to drink cachaca (cane alcohol) and are now sick and dont know what to do. And there is also a lot of venereal disease and malaria. On the Catrimani River and on the platueau of Lobo De Almada River, the miners are setting up their homes. They constructed road, made gardens and now they want to build a town, This is going to be very dangerous for the Yanomami people. I know that if they build a town there , it won't be good because the Yanomami will begin to get disease. The Opiktheri are being deceived by Zeca Diabo, a mining company that is trying to create conflict among the Indians. Zeca Diabo is the one that will help get food , give clothes teach us to work, make a rocado, plant and harvest, for the Yanomami to become accustomed to work, so that later they can work for Zeca Diabo, but I don\t think it is good for the whites to teach the Yanomani how to work. For many years we have known how to plant, clean, weave. Yanomami don't die of humger, they only die of disease; they have everthing to survive where there are no miners. My relatives are not asking for food from the whites, they only ask when the miners will be finished with everything. And we have domestic animals: tapir, wild pig, turkey, pecary. We plant bananas, we have everything in our forest. We dont need to learn how (for the white man) to work so that we can pick up the customs of white people. The custom of the white people is very complicated for us Yanomami. Our custom is better than that of whites, because we preserve the rivers, flood plains, lakes, mountains, the hunt , the fish, the fruits, acai, bacaba, inga, burit, Brazil nut, cocoa, what we have, what Omam created. I , Davi Kipenawa Yanomami, want to preserve all of this. The white man doesn\t have respect for nature, he does not know what is good, he has to learn with us. The government took our land and divided it into tiny pieces. The national forest is also ours. (The Brazilian government has divided it into the islands,) ... to fool the Indian, to leave him imprisoned like a pig in the pen. We Yanomami want an area that is ours forever. For our people, to be able to live in peace, without conflicts with the government, the military, the miners, with anyone. The Yanomami dont want to invade other peoples land. The Yanomami respect the land of the whites. On the Surucucus plateau two more Yanomami were killed in August. FUNAI did nothing. The police never captured these criminals. We Yanomami do not like--we are disgusted with--FUNAI and the government, because the government does not want to solve our problem., the problem of the Yanomami territory. Our land has many pleteaus. Within the plateaus live Xapori, Hekura,the spirits of nature. Within the mountains exist the paths of Xapori, nobody can see them, only the shaman knows the way. The plateaus are sacred places, places where the first Yanomami were born, where their ashes are buried. Our ancestors have left their spirits in these places. We Yanomami want these areas to be respected, we dont want them destroyed. We want these places preserved so we dont destroy our history and our spirit. We call the Kekura to cure our sick. For many years we have used them , they don't end. Omam left these spiritss to help the Yanomami people. Omam is very imprortant to Yanomami Indians, the Macuxi, the Wapixana, and all of the whites, all of the blacks, he gave origin to everyone, to the entire world; for this reason it is important to preserve the land where his spirit lives. I would like it if the whites know of this ancient history, that they respect it. We Yanomami want the whites on the side of the Indian to not invade our land. We want the whites to help defend--not endanger--our lives. I, Davi Kipenawa Yanomami, want to help the whites learn with us how to make the world a better place." ----Translated from Portuguese by Karen Beacham.

This is an excellent piece of investigative work showing conclusively that piroplasmosis of the dog in India is transmitted by Rhipicephalus sanguinis (Latreille), whereas in South Africa it is transmitted by Hœmaphysalis lœchi (Audouin), as determined by Lounsbury. The infection is hereditary in the tick, the fact being noted that only the nymphs and adults from an infected female are infective, the larvæ not being able to produce the disease. The probable methods of evolution of the parasite in the blood are discussed, the author being of the opinion that a quotidian evolution occurs, in many cases. at least. The course of infection and the evolution of the parasite in the tick was also studied. In the gut it soon assumes the club-shaped form. This form infiltrates the body generally, including the salivary glands, and in the meantime has been changed into the spherical "zygotes," which commonly are intracellular. The

Here are 28 of the best-loved children's stories from around the world. Included are:
© and (P)1987 JimCin Recordings
"Well done"
Nice range of stories - some single voice and some dramatized but all well done.
"Good Selection"
Yes...my kids love the stories.
Reading brought the stories alive!
Had to raise the treble a bit in car to cut through road noise.
"Good stuff but..."
My grand kids and I loved the stories, both single voice and multiple. Great stories and very good readers.
Too many to count.
The one problem is that this recording is a bit old..not digital quality. In the car it was a bit hard to hear clearly at first but...once I upped the treble...they were fine. Looking forward to getting more of these Volumes.
"poor recording"
sometimes to quiet to hear, others too loud. was not impressed by performances, reading style.
"poor audio quality"
The stories are great. But sorry, this book is really hard to listen to, especially in the car. Sounds like an old gramophone recording. The "strange" thing is that the listening sample is the only story that has acceptable sound.
We purchased this for a long trip, thinking it would entertain our younger children however, although we were looking forward to the many stories, the very poor sound quality and pure obscurity of some of the texts meant that we eventually gave up on it.
"Highly Disappointing"
Poor quality and many stories difficult to hear. This was very disappointing and would not recommend this book to anyone. Have given up on this well before the end.
"What a mistake!!!!"
I bought this to keep a 5 year old entertained on long journey.
What a mistake. Some of the stories we being read like a robot and I had to skip them before I went mad.
Some of them had strange story lines.
I didn't realise that the princess and frog required the frogs head to be chopped off. Also didn't realised that goldy locks was in fact a grumpy old woman. This was just a few....
RUBBISH. This has made the rethink about the subscription !!!
"Outstanding title"
I don't know what the previous reviewer is on about. This is an outstanding collection of stories read by a variety of richly evocative narrators. It is spellbinding. Do yourself a favour and buy it!

Spring is a time of balance. On March 20th in North America, there are nearly equal amounts of daylight and darkness. After a long winter (still continuing in some places), the urge to take a nap in the sun is irresistible along with a competing notion to scribble a to-do list as long as a shovel handle. Why not do both? There's a lot to do in this season of renewed growth, and a good nap might be just what you need to work through that to-do list. What are you leaning into this spring? What new adventures await? The sun is gathering strength, shining bright with energy and possibility. Let spring be a fresh start to eat more plant-based foods. Check out the Daiya Difference. Grow forth!

Very Good

Customer service
Food quality
Room quality
Poor quality breakfast
I have used this hotel on a number of occasions as I always feel it is good value for 3 star and well located.
Unfortunately I saw a deterioration this visit. The food served in the bar in the evening was the quality I expect from Village hotels yet the breakfast was really poor. Not much selection of cereals, 3 in fact, cornflakes, Branflakes and Coco Pops, no fresh fruit and the cooked option looked as if it been sitting there since the morning before. Very disappointing and will make me think twice about returning.

Unplanned Visit
Very friendly reception staff, lovely room with free Wi-Fi which was appreciated when with a 6yr old.
All facilities really good, the bar onsite was lovely and relaxed for food, again the staff very helpful and pleasant. We didn't order the breakfast but it was nice to have a Starbucks on site which clearly opened early, so a good coffee (hot chocolate for the small shape) and fruit toast was appreciated.

amazing customer service
Rwally nice stay
Very pleased with stay, hotel staff welcoming and room was clean, modern and food was good
Mixed experience
Check in was straightforward, though lift not operational, so had to take stairs to room.
Room itself was basic, and in need of attention. Wooden surround panel to TV casing was broken. Mould / decay on wall behind curtain. Ipod dock for connecting mp3 player to TV did not work.
No welcome information in room for new guest. Free wifi available, but no information about wifi password. Had to phone reception and wait for response. View of roof of leisure centre blocked view entirely. But bed comfortable. Heating warmed room well
Hotel quiet during night
Did not use hotel catering, but on-site Starbucks was convenient, if marked up in price.

Migraine disease is a genetic neurological disease. It can often be a disabling and chronic condition, and in addition is an invisible illness. Monday, September, 13 2010, starts National Invisible Chronic Awareness Week. Migraine, along with, Sjogren's syndrome, fibromyalgia, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis and diabetes (just to name a few) are chronic, invisible illness's. Just because we don't look sick, doesn't mean we're not.
This year, I'd like to take a different view on National Invisible Chronic Awareness Week - a thankful, positive approach. Let's talk about the people who make it possible for us to live our lives with their help. They may be family, friends, caregivers, neighbors, teachers, mentors or just a friendly acquaintance. Whoever they are, they probably don't get enough thanks from us.
My family is the most important thing in my life; my children, parents and siblings have made the last few unbearable years, living with chronic Migraines and a divorce, somewhat tolerable. Their nonstop support, love and compassion have held me together. My children are the joy of my life - without their care, love and empathy, I'm not sure how I'd get through some days.
My dear friends (Ann, Gisele, Jenn, Kathy, Linda, and Sue too - alpha order ladies!!) are the total support package. Letting me cry in your ear, telling me things I'd never thought I'd hear, but needed to, and just being there at a moment's notice are what makes these women the best. Whether by phone, text or in person, I know they are always there for me with kind, loving understanding that someone with chronic health issues needs.
Teri Robert, my mentor and dear friend, has been with me through most of my chronic illness journey so far. Without her, I certainly wouldn't have one-quarter of the knowledge I do regarding Migraine disease, patient education and advocacy. Her unending supporting and patience is truly remarkable. Thank you for being such a huge part of my life.
A very trusted professional continues to guide me through the sometimes long and often very painful process of accepting my life with chronic invisible illness. As my coping skills wax and wane, she is there to keep me on track. Handling my life without her would be simply hellish. My unending gratitude goes out to you.
At InvisibleIllness.com they are doing something amazing this year. Lisa Copen, founder of National Chronic Invisible Awareness Week, is encouraging anyone who has an invisible illness or knows someone who does, to "pay it forward." She suggests we do this by leaving upbeat, positive messages on post-it notes in random public places. Something like - "I'm in chronic pain too, but together we'll get through it," and put the website at the bottom of the post-it. Isn't that a fabulous idea? You can read more about this great idea on their website; National Chronic Invisible Illness Awareness Week.
Living with chronic invisible illness makes life difficult. If leaving a little note to brighten someone's day will benefit another person, I'm all for it.

Would be ace if they insisted that SmackDowm had to go live and RAW cut to two hours. Basically force WWE to return to a brand split.
NBC will pony up the money. It's a small price to pay to keep two of the top-rated cable shows week-in and week-out under their umbrella, particularly when you consider they give you fifty weeks of new programming per year each, whereas the best non-wrestling shows on cable give you around twenty weeks of new programming each year. And that's not even taking advertising revenues into account. wk
$140 million seems like a bargain to keep those 2 shows on their networks...even if WWE wants $250 million it would be a deal... I wonder why NBC is delaying... I would think ad revenues alone would get them their money back easily and probably a little profit.
I have a sneaking feeling it might have something to do with WWEN and the rights to air just-past episodes of Raw and Smackdown. Currently, Raw and Smackdown are aired on Saturday afternoon/evening in a Spanish language broadcast on NBC/Universal Spanish-language television (actually, the broadcasts aren't as Spanish-language as you might think they are). I wonder if, considering WWE has suggested that episodes of Raw and Smackdown would be available immediately after the conclusions of their first-run broadcasts, this has become a sticking point. Currently, you either have to wait for those Spanish-language broadcasts or watch it on Hulu Plus (which is partially owned by NBC/Universal), WWEN subscribers getting it might cut into a chunk of NBC/Universal's profits. Having said that, I think the endgame for WWE is to sign one or two more broadcast contracts, but to eventually have Raw, Smackdown, etc., broadcast exclusively on WWEN, but they don't yet know if that will be as profitable as the current arrangement. wk
That could definitely be an issue for NBC... why would they pay more if they are losing revenue in other avenues... it does make sense... but WWE could literally go to almost any other network on cable television and get the money they are asking so NBC either ponies up the money or loses out. As far as the RAW and Smackdown ever being exclusive to the WWE Network, I highly doubt it.. broadcast TV is a cash cow that I think WWE will continue milking for a very long time to come.
I would both laugh and be extremely pissed off if they didn't come to an agreement and those shows were exclusively on the WWEN. I can't see NBCUniversal just letting it go like that.. A little over 2 weeks ago they were mulling ideas on building a physical HoF for the WWE, if they had those types of plans I would think they had plans for this negotiation.
The question isn't could they go to any other cable network and sell their rights. The question is could any other network offer them what NBC/Universal can in terms of money and exposure. The only possibility I could see that is comparable to NBCU would be Fox. As to them ever leaving broadcast television, I don't see it as realistic. I just think that's what they're hoping can happen if WWEN proves as profitable as they think it can be. wk
Agreed and Agreed... I think ABC/Disney could be another but God forbid WWE is ever boadcasts on anything owned by Disney lol
I don't think Disney Company would ever invest in anything MMA/Wrestling related. Fox I can see doing it, but as far as I know they are strapped for cash as well after that UFC deal so I can't really see them doing business. There's just no reason to believe NBCUniversal is going to give up the rights.
I'm just gonna sit here and pray for this. Brand split would make my life a lot fucking easier if the night after 'Mania they were like. STING IS THE NEW GM OF RAW AND BRAD MADDOX IS THE NEW GM OF SMACKDOWN. They can keep the titles unified til like Daniel Bryan takes the WWE one and Batista takes the WHC one. No midcard unification. I honestly would also like to see the Tag Team titles split back into the WWE Tag Team Titles & The World Tag Team titles. They just need to focus on storylines for the PPVs. They also need to use the Pre-Show to their advantage. You could fit like 3 Ten minute matches on there.

As you may know, you are the first person we as humans turn to when we are feeling down. If our children are born we celebrate the birth of a child with you in mind. You seem to be in all of our thoughts these days.
You have the ability to take away my pain temporarily or you can create a spirit in me that will allow me to administer some pain if need be. And that is what I would like to talk to you about today. Once I was in a store that sold wine and spirits and I overheard a child say to another child that they can't wait to grow up and be able to buy some Crystal and some weed.
I was shocked because the child just happens to be my 12-year old niece who is a gifted child and has never had any one of her parents partake of alcohol or drugs.
Then I thought to myself what would life be like if I was a child who'd seen a liquor store on every corner next to many great religious institutions. How would I separate my realities from that of grown folks? And I came to the conclusion that you can't do it.
Then I figured out in an instant that stores in the hood now-a-days don't have any advertisements in the window for eggs, milk or water. Everything reflects getting high off on something or trying to make a baby through some sort of male enhancement stimulate. Or a new brand of male contraceptives on the counter along with the full view of gloves, ski mask, and handcuffs to aid and abet you to a free ticket to Pelican Bay.
How do children intake this type of mess? They don't is the answer, because as you well know children are easy to influence while they are under-exposed. There are no words to describe to you Mr. Liquor Store, the pain we feel as a community that you have sent our people off to prison because of the effects that over exposure to alcoholic beverages has on poor people. I had a friend from Orange County come over one day go to the liquor store to buy some Jack Daniels booze. He passed out cold after drinking it and when he woke up, he stated to me that the maker of the drink he has been consuming for years was ten times more powerful in the hood liquor store.
So many times before has this happened, in which a brother will knock down a few Old English 40 ounces and never see daylight again. So leave the drunk homie at home and teach your kids that most visits to the liquor store can often times turn into a tragedy. In any case, keep your children away from the local grown folks' watering holes of sin and strange sprits. They are not of God or our true spirit as a people.

The 18th century colonial-style museum houses the largest and most impressive ceramic collection in the world, with about 55,000 pre-Colombian clay pots on display. The collection concentrates on the refined ceramics of the Moche Dynasty, the people who lived along the northern coast of Peru between 200 and 700 AD. The Moche culture is recognized as accomplishing one of the greatest imaginative languages of ancient Peru through the use of creative pottery, providing clues to all aspects of their civilization without the use of the written word. One can learn about their religion, agriculture, transport, dance and music through their ceramic designs and shapes. The Moche are also renowned for their fascinating erotic pottery and the famous collection is on display in the separate 'Erotic Hall', depicting sexual practices of several Peruvian cultures in a lifelike, explicit and often humorous way.

LSE's most recent Nobel Laureate, Professor Christopher Pissarides, spoke in July as part of the LSE Distinguished Speakers Series. His lecture on the Eurozone crisis focused on the impact on Southern European economies such as Italy and Greece.
Kenneth Lai, Chair of the LSE Alumni Chapter in Hong Kong and LSE Enterprise's Senior Adviser in the region, describes the evening.
'We had over 80 guests at the Club Lusitano. Most were LSE alumni, but MIT alumni also took a table and there were alumni from Oxford, Columbia, Chicago, Harvard and Stanford too, as well as various alumni leaders and Hong Kong Government officials. Mr Paul Lynch, the British Deputy Consul General and himself an LSE alumnus, introduced Professor Pissarides. Another LSE graduate, the economist Dr Kui Wai Li, led the subsequent Q&A session, after which I gave the vote of thanks. The event was enjoyed by the many guests and was a great success before the start of the summer break.'

01 August 2016, Cape Town — Output at South Africa's oil refineries has continued despite an indefinite wage strike by workers, the petroleum association said on Monday, while fuel retailers urged motorists not to panic as union leaders consider expanding the strike action.
Around 15,000 members affiliated to Chemical, Energy, Paper, Printing, Wood and Allied Workers union began the strike on Thursday, demanding a nine percent wage hike and one year deal, while employers were offering less.
On Friday, around 8,000 CEPPWAWU workers started a similar strike in South Africa's pharmaceutical sector, joining colleagues in the mining and manufacturing sectors seeking higher-than-inflation wage increases flagged by policymakers as a danger to an already weak economy.
"Refineries continue to produce," South African Petroleum Industry Association executive director Avhapfani Tshifularo said.
Some parts of Gauteng province, the country's commercial hub, which includes Johannesburg and the capital Pretoria, had faced some delivery delays, he said.
Drivers ferrying fuel from depots to service stations were being threatened, he said, but did not give details.
"There is no way forward as yet and the strike is still continuing," said Clement Chitja, head of collective bargaining at the union.
He said other sectors, particularly the industrial chemicals, had certificates allowing for strike action and union leaders were meeting on Tuesday to agree a way forward.
Chitja said should an agreement be reached, a 48-hours notice will be issued and the strike could start by Friday at the earliest.
"The one in particular that may help bring changes into the petroleum sector is the industrial chemicals sector," he told Reuters.
This would mean another 5,000 to 10,000 workers downing tools, affecting fertilizer firms and chemical companies such as Sasol, he said.
Reggie Sibiya, chief executive officer at the Fuel Retailers Association, said mainly poorer areas were being affected by fuel delivery delays and disputed the claims of violence against the drivers.
"Oil companies don't want to go deliver there and are using safety as an excuse. It's not because there is no product," he told Reuters.
Africa's most industrialized economy, which holds local elections on Wednesday, is a net importer of refined petroleum products. The government said previously that fuel shortages could cost the economy around 1 billion Rand ($72 million) a day.
A similar wage strike in 2011 that lasted almost three weeks saw petrol pumps run dry as panicked motorists filled up their vehicles. Sibiya urged motorists not to panic.
"There is no need for panicked buying. There is no crisis," Sibiya said.
Chevron said on Monday operations at its 110,000 barrels a day Cape Town plant were continuing and measures were in place to minimize the strike's impact.
At some service stations certain types of fuel were not available due to delivery problems, a Reuters witness said.

UCLA head coach Jim Mora says linebacker Myles Jack will continue to be used on offense this fall.
"He's gonna touch the ball on offense," Mora said Monday. "Don't know how many times, but he'll touch it."
Jack became a bit of a household name for many college football fans last season more because of his production and contributions on offense rather than his defense. Jack was fourth on the team in rushing with 267 yards on 38 rushing attempts, but he muscled in seven touchdowns on the ground, second only to quarterback Brett Hundley's 11 touchdown runs. Despite being a freshman, Jack was among the leaders on defense as well. By the end of the 2013 season Jack racked up 76 tackles, 10 more than one of the Pac-12′s best linebackers,UCLA's Anthony Barr.

WATCH: RNC Benghazi Attack Ad That Never Ran
Great ad. No clue why this didn't air.
Check it out:
ABC News has uncovered a hard-hitting 2012 Republican National Committee (RNC) television ad attacking President Barack Obama for failed leadership on Benghazi that never ran after the Romney campaign objected over concerns the spot would detract from Romney's focus on the economy.
The ad, which is based on Hillary Clinton's famous "3 a.m. phone call" from her failed 2008 presidential run, features a ringing phone that goes unanswered as images of the flaming U.S. consulate in Libya appear on the screen.
"The Call Came…On September 12, 2012," reads the screen. "Security Requests Denied. Four Americans Dead. And an Administration whose story is still changing. The Call Came."

Foundation Rhinoplasty
Foundation rhinoplasty is a method that was originally designed for patients with nasal deviation due to facial asymmetry (where the two sides are different). It allows for straightening of the external and internal nose without requiring significant nasal restructuring through an open Rhinoplasty approach. It is also used in cases where both deviation correction and cosmetic improvements are desired. The straight and even foundation that is created allows for more predictability in the final cosmetic result.

The Graduate
Sunday, May 23, 2010Barb and I were not able to go to Spring Quilt Market.....and pictured above is the reason why! My youngest graduated from college. Look at his joyous face! Congratulations Greg!
Barb and I are very sorry we missed seeing everyone at market. Thank goodness Edie McGinnis, our editor, presented our newest book, Country Inn during schoolhouse at market. It should be in shops very soon.
I finished the new Anniversary of the Heart pattern while riding in the car. (A bit hard to keep the threads counted right...but great time to work as Dave drove us to the graduation.) It was stitched in memory of my grandfather. I was surprised how much I enjoyed thinking about him as I stitched this piece. Usually I pick a grandmother to remember in my samplers....but as I stitched the year of his birth and his initials into the linen I was so glad that I had chosen him. During the quiet stitching moments I thought of him and our time spent together. It felt so right. This pattern should be in shops in about 2 1/2 weeks. (And....we will include the first bonus pattern with next month's pattern. My son after reading the blog told me, "You have to fill the space.")
The above picture showcases our final Loose Feather project for the years 2009/2010. This is the front of the project bag....the reverse side is stitched with another design. It too should be in the shops in about 2 1/2 weeks. This was stitched on 20ct Straw linen by Weeks Dye Works. It was an easy fun stitch. I had Barb's mom, Leona put the button holes in for me. I just couldn't take a chance of doing them wrong. After all of the stitching!!! I'm a whimp.
Until later!

What a very special reason for missing market. How proud you must be. Your son has a very nice face and smile. What a wonderful weekend with your son and also thoughts of your grand father.
Congratulations all around! Louise - AnonymousMay 23, 2010 at 7:28 PM
Congratulations to all! What a great accomplishment. I love the snippet of the new Anniversaries of the heart and the last installment of the loose feathers. I simply cannot wait to get either. Just love all of your designs. I received my Country Inn quilt book in the mail yesterday. Love it!
ReplyDelete Congrats to your DS and you and Barb on these new releases. I COMPLETELY understand about being too timid to "rip" in a buttonhole after all of that careful stitching I know a lot of people who just balk at finishing even though they have more than enough skill. That's me, too, even though I'm not sure I earn the "more than enough skill" designation.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to your son! What an exciting time. And speaking of excitement, I went to the mailbox this afternoon.....and I found your new book, Country Inn, waiting for me and well, what can I say.....when can I check in? It is absolutely beautiful! Alma, you and Barb have certainly created a book to inspire us. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteAt the risk of sounding like a stalker (or, confirming your suspicions...), I was worried when I didn't see pics of the Blackbird booth at Market. I am so glad that it was for a happy reason. Congratulations to Greg!! Best of luck to him. Love the new designs--my mind is whirling with what to do on both.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to your son -- that's a great accomplishment, and the new designs, as always, look fabulous. Can't wait to get both in my hands. And thanks for giving us the bonus early. I can't wait to see you and Barb at Old Mill in June! I'm also signed up for Silver Needle in July. It will be a fun, stitching summer for me.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to Greg on his Graduation! I can understand not going, as graduating from College is a big deal!
I've been surfing all of the blogs to catch a glimps of your quilts in KCS booth. My book shipped out today and I am so anxious to see what the quilts look like. The new cross stitch charts look so wonderful! I can't wait til they arrive. It's so fun to see progress pics of the Anniversary Series too. Now if the mail man would get them here yesterday! *S* Yes, I think I'm a Blackbird Designs Addict.

JERUSALEM — Over the
decades, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has cultivated an image as a
tough-talking leader in the global struggle against terrorism. That reputation
could be put to the test this month in a landmark court case that could force
him to choose between supporting victims of Palestinian violence and risking a
diplomatic rift with China.
Netanyahu's government must decide whether to allow a former
Israeli security official to testify as a star witness who could tip the scales
in the case, filed by families of victims of suicide bombers who accuse the
Bank of China of facilitating terrorist funding via accounts in the US.
Critics say that after initially encouraging the claims
against the bank, Israel is now having second thoughts, fearing it could
jeopardize valuable trade ties with China if it allows the former official, who
is sworn to secrecy, to testify.
"Israel has to decide whether they are fighting terrorism
and continuing the struggle which they initiated … or collapsing to the
pressure of China and abandoning the terror victims," said Nitsana
Darshan-Leitner, an Israeli lawyer involved in the case.
Darshan-Leitner is representing 22 families of people who
were killed in Palestinian suicide bombings.
The families accuse the government-owned Bank of China,
through its US branches, of serving as a key conduit in transfers of money to
Hamas and Islamic Jihad, Palestinian groups that have killed hundreds of
The family of Daniel Wultz, a 16-year-old American who was
killed in a 2006 suicide bombing in Tel Aviv carried out by Islamic Jihad, is
pursuing a separate but related case against the bank.
The families are seeking hundreds of millions of dollars in
damages in US courts. With claims based in part on US anti-terrorism laws, a
verdict against the bank could also potentially affect its ability to do
business in the United States.
While these cases are legally separate, they all depend
heavily on the testimony of a former Israeli official named Uzi Shaya. The
ex-counterterrorism agent has emerged as a key witness in determining how much
the Bank of China knew about the financial transfers.
According to court documents, Shaya was part of a delegation
of Israeli counterterrorism officials who met with Chinese officials in April
2005, warning them that Hamas and Islamic Jihad were transferring large sums of
money to their militants through the Bank of China. At that meeting, the
Israelis asked Chinese officials to "take action" to prevent further transfers.
Shaya is scheduled to appear for questioning in New York on
November 25. But the Israeli government has not yet said whether it will allow
him to go.
US District Court Judge Shira Scheindlin, who is hearing the
case, said at a July hearing that Israel's position could be a "make-or-break
decision" for the case.
"This may be the only person who really has the knowledge as
to what transpired at the meeting," according to a transcript.
In an August 29 letter to lawyers for the victims, Shaya
said he wanted to testify but did not yet have permission to do so.
"In light of my moral and national obligation and my
commitment to the war on terror, I am inclined to give a deposition," he wrote.
"However, thus far, the State of Israel has not yet formulated its final
position on the matter."
Darshan-Leitner said she is hopeful Shaya will appear, only
because she hasn't heard otherwise. "The assumption is that he's coming," she
said, but acknowledged that nothing was certain.
Netanyahu's office and the Israeli Justice Ministry declined
comment on the case. Dani Arditi, director of the counterterrorism bureau at
the time of the meetings with the Chinese, and Shaya also refused to comment.
Netanyahu has fashioned himself as an expert on fighting
terrorism for his entire political career. And signs of official Israeli
involvement in the case are everywhere.
The claims against the bank include detailed listings of
account numbers, dates and precise sums of money that were transferred over
several years— information that would almost certainly require professional
intelligence work to obtain.
In addition, another former Israeli security official in the
prime minister's office, Shlomo Matalon, submitted a sworn statement in 2009
outlining some of the transfers and attesting that the Israelis had warned
Chinese officials about the transactions. Despite such warnings, he said the
bank continued to carry out transfers for Islamic Jihad and Hamas.
"The Israeli government asked us through our lawyers to
bring this case and provided relevant evidence," Wultz's father, Yekutiel, who
was wounded in the 2006 bombing, said in a statement.
"We believe it is critically important to stop the flow of
money to terrorists to prevent attacks like the one that killed Daniel and are
grateful for the support we have received from many people in Israel, the
United States and around the world who all want to see commitments honored,
justice done and a safer, more peaceful world," said Wultz, who lives in
Adding to the high profile of the case, Wultz's mother,
Sheryl, is a cousin of US House Majority Leader Eric Cantor. The Virginian
Republican's office said he is "not involved" in the case.
Darshan-Leitner, the lawyer representing the other families,
said she plans to subpoena Stuart Levey, a former US Treasury official, as a
witness who could help the case, especially if Shaya doesn't testify.
She said she believes Levey, who monitored the financial
dealings of terrorist groups, has evidence showing Bank of China accounts were
used by Hamas to channel funds to operatives in Gaza. Levey's current employer,
HSBC Holdings PLC, declined comment and would not make him available for an
The Bank of China declined comment. But in Beijing, Chinese
Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei said China opposes "all forms of terrorism"
and takes a "proactive role in global counterterrorism cooperation." He said
China also takes safeguards "to prevent any financial institutions from
supporting terrorist activities."
China has never labeled Hamas or Islamic Jihad terrorist
Israeli media reports have said Netanyahu began to have
misgivings about the case last spring, shortly before leading a trade
delegation to China. The Yediot Ahronot daily has said the Chinese threatened
to cancel the visit if Netanyahu allowed Shaya to testify.
China has a history of using its considerable economic might
to voice displeasure with other countries. For three years, Beijing has frozen
relations with Norway since a committee appointed by the Norwegian parliament
awarded the 2010 Nobel Peace Prize to an imprisoned Chinese dissident.
Diplomatic ties have been gutted, meetings canceled and economic ties
Israeli businessman Amos Yudan, one of the members of
Netanyahu's delegation, said he was not privy to any of the political
discussions that took place during the trip. But he said China is a major
target for Israeli businesses. China is especially interested in Israeli
technology in agriculture and medical equipment.
"Generally speaking, Israel today is doing a lot of efforts
to try to increase commercial activities," Yudan said. "I think the visit of the
prime minister was important because they laid out basic agreements."
Last week, Netanyahu hosted Meng Jianzhu, a senior Chinese
official, in Jerusalem. His office said the visit "was a sign of the rapidly
improving relations" between Israel and China. "The prime minister added that
there were very many areas in which the two countries could cooperate and noted
that Israel would be very pleased to do so," it said.

Here's hoping the U.S. and the world will have dodged a bullet, when Trump loses the election.
We're not out of the woods yet though.
We're now being threatened by the alt-right, or what used to be the Republican Party. There's an alt-right way of thinking and writing that is unmistakable; word salad run-on sentences and comically snarky terms, like "shitlib."
Their scary, foaming-at-the-mouth, rabid hatred for a country "they'll make great again," starts at the ballot box. It's not their bad ideas keeping them out of office, it's voter fraud.
right now: Between the laughably unbelievable polls showing Sick Hillary leading Trump, despite the fact that she can barely fill a high school gymnasium while he draws thousands to every rally, and the extreme hubris and arrogance of the cuckservative/shitlib globalist coalition, it's safe to assume they have one last fail safe trick at the ready to prevent a Trump presidency. My best guess is election fraud
These people are not acting like hopeful candidates with something to lose–they're acting like smug managerialists who know they already have it in the bag, whatever the American voter decides in November
If the anti-White globohomo bezosian ruling class and their media shills are so stupid to heft clit lickin' clinton first across the finish line by resorting to the dirtiest of tricks — outright election fraud — then there will be war.
Not the op-ed rhetorical war favored by pansy liberals.
Real war.
Dead bodies.
My advice to the leftoid equalism hate machine and the cowardly traitorous GOPe cucks: think twice about this road you're going down. It doesn't end well for you.
Sigma K: I have told family and friends that if they vote for thecunt (whether it wins or not) I will no longer make myself available to them in anyway except to go to there funerals and have a long piss in the casket.
I have some idiots in the family that voted gay mulatto (white guilt…) and every year I pay my health care liberty tax I berate them and shame them. I warned them back in 2008 I would give them hell for there poor judgment every time homomuzzie does something to harm my business or my person and I have stuck to my promise.

Gregory Backpack: Comfort for Hiking
Gregory backpacks are one of the best backpacks on the market nowadays, they are quality products, rugged, durable and well designed packs. However, it is fit and comfort the characteristics that make these packs really stand out. So if you are thinking about buying a comfortable backpack to carry heavy loads and tough enough to last for a long time, then you can't go wrong choosing a Gregory backpack.
If you are looking to buy a Gregory backpack online and want a great price, Amazon is a great place for you to shop. Following the links will take you to a page with all the backpack sizes to choose the most appropriate for you. Besides, a thing that I really like about Amazon is that they usually has several reviews of real costumers to help us to make the right decision before buying.
Gregory Baltoro 70 Backpacking Pack
If you are looking for an extremely comfortable and versatile pack, roomy enough to carry all your things for a long hike or backpacking trip, then the Baltoro 70 is one of the best choices you can do. Because, despite of not being the most lightweight pack, it weights 2.5kg the medium size, it is not so heavy either. But think that this weight translates in a very roughed backpack able to carry heavy loads comfortably while walking. As usual with Gregory backpacks the Baltoro 70 comes in three sizes, small, medium and large. When buying one make sure that the torso size is the correct one for you, I put a table bellow with the backpack specifications to help you to choose the right for you.

Gregory Palisade 80 Backpack
If you are looking for a pack a little larger than the Baltoro, but with the same quality and versatility, then the Gregory Palisade with a capacity of 80lts. is a great choice to consider.

Besides, the backpack is tough and durable. It comes with a water bladder storage and a two nifty belt pouches which
are well designed and durable. A good choice for a roomy backpack without reaching expedition size.

Gregory Z65 Backpacking Backpack
The Gregory Z65 is a good choice, if you are looking for a lightweight backpack. It only weights 1.9kg. the medium size, that is 600g. less than the Baltoro for only a little less capacity. Of course with a lightweight backpack you can not carry as much weight as with a heavier one like the Baltoro comfortably. However if you can keep your gear weighting less than 20kg then the Z65 could be as comfortable, if no more, as the Baltoro.
