I want to know how to become a webmaster. What tools should I use? What courses shoud I take? What experience can I get?
learn html, css, and javascript..these are the basic things a webmaster needs to know
Learn Adobe Dreamweaver and it will help u to
Thanks All of you, I appreciate your help.
Start a blog/website
I thought a Webmaster was someone that had their own website. You can farm out site development etc. to those with the required skills.
Jack cola has the perfect answer
start learning HTML5, CSS, Javascripipt, Jquery, PHP – that will get you started
learn html, css, php, mysql
get yourself a good knwledge on web hosting,netwrkng, domain names n related
learn to use photoshop , dreamweaver, illustrator, joomla, wordpress, facebook, cpanel.
for advnced sites, learn flash development
1) Get hosting space
2) Upload a page
3) Add Webmaster to your CV
A webmaster is the master/ruler/lord/emperor of a given web site. That's it. He/she doesn't even have to be the one making the content - just the administrator of the site, with full privileges including shell/ssh access.
For example, I am the webmaster of http://www.stone-d.net, http://jiks.stone-d.net, http://192.168.0.1/, and http://127.0.0.1/.
In fact, to highlight this even further, according to RFCs 2142 and 2068 all websites have an email address for this person: firstname.lastname@example.com. By default, all administrative correspondence related to the website goes there, whereas email related queries AND lost email goes to email@example.com.
Things get hazy when virtual hosting and resold hosting solutions come into play, or, even worse, blogs like MUO, but I'm sure you get the picture.
Goto http://www.w3schools.com n learn all the languages taught there and you may be a webmaster
Define "webmaster", because I don't really think that's a thing nowadays.
If you mean you want to be a web developer, then you need technical coding skills in PHP, HTML, CSS, MySQL, Javascript - that should cover you. And experience, of course. Make some of your own DB-driven sites to start with.
If you want to a web *designer*, then you need an eye for design. This isn't really something to be learned; you need to be born an artist.
If you want to manage a site, you'll need good people skills. You'll need to juggle your staff, make lists of features for them to develop, perhaps be on top of getting advertisers, and deal with users. This is from experience that I'm saying this.
Each is a distinct role in a reasonable size website. But best to ask yourself if you want to work for someone else for a secure income, or go it alone and try to built your own site from the ground up. The fact you've asked this question means you're probably not the latter type, so get some skills, then go work for someone.
It is not a one time task but requires continuous work. Use services like alexa.com, google Analytics, statcounter.com, etc to analyze your website and become a webmaster. Many browser addons are also available to help you optimize your website.
It really depends on what you want to do. Do you want to build sites from scratch, build data driven sites, blogs, design fancy sites, get code and design from others and fill in, or write scripts or build and host sites for others? What do you think a webmaster is?
Ahh, that fine institution of knowledge that is eHow.
Hmm, I did not find the article so inspiring. I think some eHow articles are good but most of them are to limiting on the amount of info they give. I thinks James' piece lower down was just as informative.
Being a webmaster isn't something you can become overnight, mainly because of the word "master" - you have to be good at it.
I suggest purchasing some hosting, a domain name and install WordPress, Joomla, Drupal (manually) and create a website that a lot of people visit that you have to run yourself. MakeUseOf.com is powered by WordPress.
I would also start learning HTML5, CSS, Javascripipt, Jquery, PHP - that will get you started
good, this is the correct idea, try to get exactly what you need not just collect certificates
You've said it all.

Blogging is a fast and fun way to increase your business or personal presence on the Internet. In our modern society, writing a blog can play a crucial role in increasing, maintaining, or even creating popularity for anyone who does it well. Surprisingly, many have yet to capitalize on writing a blog. If this media tool is of interest to you, keep reading for some valuable information on how to get started.
It is important that your blog uses search engine optimization. Search engine results are likely to be the main way people find your site, so a high ranking for the keywords you think your readers will use ensures that they get to your blog and not your competition. Choose appropriate keywords to use in your titles and posts to help boost the number of followers your blog has.
Look for other successful bloggers to guest write on your site. This will enhance your site's profile and improve its content. If they let their readers know that they're writing something for you, you should also see an influx of traffic. Use several bloggers to do this and create more rich content.
Always keep up with the feedback that your blog receives, and respond back when it is appropriate. Never let yourself get overly emotional about this process. You will find that people find a way to criticize posts about any topic. Constructive criticism is a great way to see where a blog is lacking. Post polite responses to any negative comments and put them behind you. This will demonstrate that you are a mature blogger, which will positively affect your readership.
So, you should be prepared to jump into the exciting world of blogs now. The possibilities truly are endless when creating a blog, so try anything that comes to mind. If you continue to seek out fresh new topics for your blog, you should be successful in no time.

The WIPCAD Midterm Conference invites researchers to submit proposals for papers that critically examine the dynamics between environments and organizational core activities. The conference theme focuses on how public organizations deal with changing conditions in terms of: (1) knowledge use and transfer; (2) coordination; and (3) strategy building. How do they react to and/or proactively seek to shape environmental conditions in order to gain legitimacy and maintain effective- ness?
First, organizations are increasingly required to apply scientific knowledge, which is at the same time often highly contested. Knowledge is being increasingly politicized by counter-expertise, non- knowledge, and scientific parameters of uncertainty. Assessing and selecting relevant data and infor- mation for policies and their implementation can become highly contested, affecting the allocation of organizational attention and shaping relations both internally and externally.
Second, cross-cutting issues such as migration, climate change, or demographic developments, go beyond the portfolio of individual ministries or public agencies. Coordination across depart- ments and with other organizations emerges as a core challenge for many public organizations, requir- ing the balancing of divergent organizational perceptions, priorities, and preferences.
Third, organizational problem-solving capacity becomes challenged by unclear, controversial, and conflicting problem interpretations hampering the development of joint problem definitions and solutions. These challenges raise concerns for intra-organizational strategy building and many organiza- tions often expand specialized capacities by establishing strategy units at the organizational apex.
We welcome both theoretical and empirical papers focusing on change in public organizations and its causes and effects in terms of coordination, knowledge, and strategy from different social science disciplines including, but not limited to, sociology and organizational studies, political science, public administration, and public management. Papers addressing varying levels or units of analysis, such as the international, transnational, national and subnational level, or those studying organizational fields are particularly invited. We are open to papers applying a wide range of methods and research designs, including quantitative and qualitative approaches, single-case studies, or comparative analyses.
Please send an abstract for a paper (max. 250 words) to email@example.com no later than 28 July 2014. Final Papers are due 15 November 2014.
For more information on the DFG-funded Research Training Group "WIPCAD – Wicked Problems, Contested Administrations: Knowledge, Coordination, Strategy" at the University of Potsdam / Germany, please see www.wipcad-potsdam.de or contact the Academic Coordinator of WIPCAD, Katja Lass-Lennecke (firstname.lastname@example.com).

The 14 Best Protein Bars For Men 2020
These bars will bulk you up without loading you down with sugar.
Protein bars seem like the miracle snack: They promise the protein you need to feed your muscles, while boasting flavors so delicious you'll want to sub them for dessert.
But the sad truth is, many of these protein bars are just candy bars in disguise. They're chock-full of sugar and empty calories, and they're actually shoddy sources of protein. Finding a bar out there that stands out from the gut-busting crowd can be difficult — and discovering one that tastes good while doing so can be even harder.
Aim for bars with at least 20 grams of protein from a dairy-based source (whey, casein, or a combination of both), 300 calories or fewer, 15 grams of fat or below, and around 5 grams of fiber. Although most will naturally look at the amount of protein first, Kris Sollid, R.D. and Senior Director at the International Food Information Council Foundation, says you shouldn't overlook fiber. "While most younger men tend to eat enough protein, fiber is a different story," she explains to MensHealth.com. "Men only eat about half of the fiber recommended each day, so it's important to incorporate it whenever possible."
Read on to find the best protein bars for men—and stash one or two in your gym bag for the next time hunger strikes.
"Having a straight-forward, simple ingredient bar like Rise in your back pocket makes it easy to avoid the impulse grab of junk food," says Christina Meyer-Jax, MS, RDN, a professor of nutrition at St. Catherine's University in St. Paul, Minnesota. "I like that they are a little higher in monounsaturated fats from the nuts, along with being high in protein. This is an ideal combo to help us feel fuller longer." The 280-calorie bar has 20 grams of protein and four grams of fiber.
Probar's plant-based BASE protein bar contains 20 grams of protein and all 9 essential amino acids, which is "helpful for post-workout recovery," Meyer-Jax says. The best part? There's no added sugar, but they still taste great.
This bar hits the 20 grams of protein and a whopping 15 grams of fiber. One drawback: The bar contains erythritol, a sweetener that some people report leads to gastric distress.
This 200-calorie bar gets the highest compliment you could hope for in a mint/chocolate combo: it's reminiscent of the famous Thin Mint Girl Scout cookie. Real peppermint oil gave the bar a refreshing feel that really pops from the rich, smooth chocolate taste. It houses 2o grams of protein and 16 grams of fiber, but there's that erythritol again.
High protein. High flavor. High marks all around.
Cookie dough is a stacked flavor category for protein bars, but the salted caramel adds an interesting jolt to regular old sweetness. You'll net 20 grams of protein and six grams of fiber for 230 calories. This is the protein bar for people who don't like the flavor of protein bars.
Most protein bars come in some variation of milk or dark chocolate and peanut butter. These Oatmega bars really stand out with its unique combination of tart raspberry and creamy white chocolate. Although they're a bit lower in protein–14 grams for one bar–they are also lower in sugar and calories, making it a good snack instead of meal replacement, says Jessica Bachman, R.D. and nutrition coach at Stronger U.
We're pretty sure Grandma wasn't blending whey protein into her legendary dessert, but whatever. One of these bright-tasting bars has 220 calories, 20 grams of protein, and 11 grams of fiber. "This has a solid amount of protein to really help boost intake post workout," says Elizabeth Shaw, R.D. However, she notes that some people may have trouble digesting chicory root and could have an upset stomach.
These are Bachman's go-to protein bar. "For those of you with higher protein needs or potentially even looking for a bar to replace a meal you can eat on the go, this bar is for you," she says. At 290 calories, they offer a whopping 30 grams of protein, "plus they are delicious," Bachman raves.
This bar is proof that a low calorie bar can legitimately satisfy your chocolate craving. "I'm actually a fan of this bar," says Shaw. " I like the taste (one of the most important things IMHO when choosing a bar). Plus, you'll get 16 grams of protein, 7 grams of fiber and only two grams of sugar for only 190 calories.
"With a decent amount of protein and fairly easy to read ingredient panel, the Perfect Bar has easily become a fan favorite," says Shaw. But it packs 330 calories, so it's better as a meal replacement for guys looking to bulk up, says Bachman.
Somehow, these bars are able to deliver a tasty cookies and cream flavor with only one gram of sugar. Factor in 20 grams of protein and 9 grams of fiber and you've got yourself a solid post workout snack.
This bar is another go-to for Bachman because it's high in protein, has zero sugar and only 230 calories. "It's an excellent snack for people wanting high protein intake during weight loss or to support muscle gain," she says.
These cookies are loaded with 18 grams of protein for only 200 calories. Plus, the chocolate chunks are a nice touch to make it seem like you're legitimately eating a cookie.

Philosophy quick links: Play ~ Relationships ~ Natural Environments ~ Community
We believe
- Play provides opportunities for children to learn as they discover, create improvise and imagine. When children play with other children they create social groups, test out ideas, challenge each other's thinking and build new understandings.
- Play provides a supportive environment where children can ask questions, solve problems and engage in critical thinking.
- Play can expand children's thinking and enhance their desire to know and learn. In these ways play can promote positive disposition to learning.
- Early childhood educators take on many roles in play with children and use a range of strategies to support learning. They engage in sustained shared conversations with children to extend their thinking. They provide a balance between child led, child initiated and educator supported learning. They create learning environments that encourage children to explore, solve problems, create and construct.
- Educators interact with babies and children to build attachment. They use routine and play experiences to do this. They also recognise spontaneous teachable moments as they occur, and use them to build on children's learning.
- Early childhood educators work with young children to promote and model positive ways to relate to others. They actively support the inclusion of all children in play, help children to recognise when play is unfair and offer constructive ways to build a caring, fair and inclusive learning community.
EYLF, p.15
Our Practices Reflect:
- Educators provide an interest based curriculum that is planned in response to children's interests and strengths, while providing a balanced range of developmentally appropriate activities and experiences.
- Educators provide a range of experiences that encourages foundational development in all learning areas including; language and literacy, mathematics, natural science, social and emotional, physical and creative development, as well as cognitive skills (how they learn). These are also guided by the Early Years Learning Framework Learning Outcomes.
- Educators seek to mould a love of learning and play by genuinely engaging themselves and following through on children's discoveries.
- Educators use a range of teaching strategies, underpinned by a sound knowledge of child development and effective teaching strategies.
- Educators encourage risk in play, through planning for, supporting and engaging in play with natural materials, such as tree climbing, working with tools and using sticks and rocks in construction activities. Each group's planning supports and enhances our Bush Place program.
- Educators provide choice and long blocks of uninterrupted play throughout the day. For example to encourage autonomy children have the choice to continue engaged play or join the planned experiences.
- Educators are positive role models for children, encouraging children to engage in sustained and shared play experiences. They encourage children to build an awareness of fair and unfair play.
- Educators encourage all children to experience the three levels of engagement throughout the week. These are; free play, small group or project work, and more instructional based group work (art studio and Library).
- Educators provide a learning environment and encourage play behaviours that support inclusive practices, including children of any culture and all additional needs children.
- Educators encourage a smooth transition to school through liaising with schools and supporting families and children.

agree with a lot of your points.. The graphics are ok, but VERY blurry no matter what settings I use.. I feel this is a downgrade from BF1, hopefully with time they will make the game better, because after 1000 hours in BF1, I had enugh of that game too... we will see..
Just curious what gfx card and settings people are using where things are blurry?
Turned off all the random effects and it looks pretty clear to me.

5 Ways To Increase Your Hemoglobin Levels Immediately
At some point in time, most kidney disease sufferers will have a problem with their hemoglobin (haemoglobin) levels. This is mainly due to the decreased production of Erythropoietin (EPO) within the kidneys (Erythropoietin is a hormone secreted by the kidneys that stimulates production of red blood cells). Hemoglobin is the iron containing and oxygen carrying protein found within the red blood cells. This protein therefore delivers the most important nutrient to human life, oxygen. It also transports the toxic element carbon dioxide to the lungs for exhalation.
Today I thought I would cover something that I encountered today in clinic (in actual fact i was yesterday :-)) – A lady that I have now been seeing for just over a month brought in her latest test results and we went through them with glee. Overall her results were on the improve – sodium now in normal range, creatinine had dropped by 100 points, potassium now in normal range, liver enzymes improving, and most importantly, her eGFR (estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate) had gone from 12 to 17 in just a few short weeks. We high fived each other. Of course we have some way to go, but you have to celebrate the wins. This is crucial for a positive mindset and staying on course.
After going through the report there were two main things that we needed to focus our attention on. Her hyperparathyroidism was still out of control, and her hemoglobin levels were still too low. Hemoglobin should be sitting between 14-18 g/dL for males, and 12-16 g/dL for females. My client's hemoglobin levels were at 10 g/dL.
Low hemoglobin levels directly affect your energy levels by lowering the amount of oxygen being transported throughout your body. So you end up feeling even lousier than you already are. I am hoping that these quick tips you can start to feel normal again, and get your readings within normal limits without too much intervention.
Here Are The Top 5 Tips On How To Increase Hemoglobin Naturally
1. Chitosan
Did you know the humble shrimp could be your ticket to increased hemoglobin levels? Not only that, but clinical studies have proven "throwing another shrimp on the barbie" will lower urea and cholesterol levels, and help lose excess fat!
Chitosan is structurally similar to cellulose (a complex carbohydrate found in plants), which consists of glucose molecules connected to one another. This substance is mainly found within the exoskeleton of shrimp, crab, prawns and other shellfish, but is best taken as a supplement.
Asparagus, Green Bean, and Lemon Zest Salad
Kidney tonifying asparagus and beans, team up in this satisfying salad that's as delicious as it is healthy.
I came across this delicious recipe not too long ago and just had to share. Not only is it beneficial for your kidneys but is also really tasty. Both asparagus and green bean are renowned for their kidney healing benefits within Traditional Chinese Medicine. Check it out below. Serve it up for your next family meal, or when you are next entertaining guests. It really is that versatile.
Cooking & preparation time: 20mins
- 225g (½ pound) green (string) beans
- 340g (¾ pound) asparagus, trimmed off ends
- ½ an onion, preferably red
- 1 lemon, zested and juiced
- 1 cup parsley, flat-leaf parsley preferred
- 2 tomatoes thinly sliced lengthwise
- ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
- ½ cup basil
- ¼ cup grated hard cheese (e.g. Parmigiano-Reggiano/Parmesan)
- 1 clove garlic, removed from skin
- Salt and pepper to taste
Top 11 Superfoods List – To Supercharge Your Meals At Home
Wouldn't you love to access your fridge at home, like a mechanic accesses his toolbox, to heal yourself as he would 'heal' his car? Sounds impossible right? Well it's not.
Through today's research a lot of the old anecdotes are now confirmed if not exceeded in their validity. We all heard the sayings "Eat your vegetables they will make grow big and strong" or even "It'll put hair on your chest!" (Though that latter one I still have my doubts on).
Through scientific research they have confirmed certain foods are in fact higher, pound for pound, in their nutritional and phytochemical content, thus making them 'SuperFoods' (or foods that give you more bang for your buck).
What are phytochemicals? Phytochemicals are naturally occurring compounds that plants produce to protect themselves (against bacteria, viruses and fungi), improve their structure or even act as chemical messengers within the plant. Once eaten by humans however, they (phytochemicals) take on a new role turning into some of the most potent health enhancing substances known to man.
"Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food"
(Hippocrates –AKA: 'the father of medicine' 460BC – 370BC)
So where to start and what are the best Superfoods?
In the media there seems to be more and more foods being labelled 'SuperFoods' in a bid to cash in on this new catch term, unfortunately this is causing confusion within the public. So I have selected my best of the best, to get you kicked started quickly to optimum wellness. To begin your journey to optimum wellness it only takes one serve a day from the selection of SuperFoods below. Add more if you desire, though rotation is the key.
So here is my magnificent 11 superfoods list:
Gout and Kidney Disease – 17 Rapid Relief Tips to Reducing Your Gout Pain Now
One of the most common symptoms I see in clinic when treating clients with kidney disease, is the complaint of excruciating pain in one or many joints. They can even find it unbearable to the point that it immobilises them, and prevents from working. In the past this was was associated with kings and royalty, due to the excess consumption of certain foods and drinks. Now it is simply known as gout – and now it is very easy for all of us to over indulge. Gout and kidney disease unfortunately go hand in hand.
Gout can often seem, to begin with, a pretty innocuous condition; random joint pains lasting a few hours or days at best. But soon, very soon, the gout "attacks" seem to be unrelenting, causing joint specific inflammation, pain, heat, and decreased movement. But don't worry… I have a tool kit of natural medicines to help reverse this condition easily a little further down.
If you are currently suffering from joint pain but are unsure if it is gout or not, here is a good diagnostic checklist:
- Rapid onset, of classically one joint in the fingers or toes (most often the big toe – 50% of cases), occurring frequently at night
- Swelling, heat, stiffness of joint
- Shiny red or purple coloration of joint
- During attacks body temperature may rise to 39°C (102.2°F)
- Occurs commonly together with uric acid kidney stones
- Periods of being asymptomatic, followed by acute attacks
- Gout is a familial disease. A familial disease is hereditary, passed on from one generation to the next
- Monosodium urate monohydrate (a crystalline substance) builds up in and around the joints of extremities, causing gout
- Increased uric acid levels in the blood
- 95% of cases are males

So what is the cause of this condition?
The CAUSE of Your Kidney Disease is the KEY to Your Healing
This may seem a blatantly obvious statement to make to many people, but I am surprised time and time again how often this overlooked when treating ones health. But then again, this maybe second nature to me as throughout my naturopathic studies I was always told, verbatim: "treat the person, not the disease, treat the cause, not the symptoms".
For example, this is most obvious when you slice your finger with a knife; you do not try and remedy the situation by increasing the strength of your skin so it can withstand knife penetrations do you? (I hope not, as that would be a little crazy!). No, you try and slice with more accuracy, because it was the handing of the knife that was the cause of the cut, not the skin being too weak.
The same can be said for let's say, using pain medication for a headache. Are you treating the 'headache'? Think about it. Or are you really inhibiting the 'pain'.
A good question to ask before you ever treat yourself is "what am I trying to achieve here?".
If you are trying to receive quick relief from the pain, then yes this is a VERY wise thing to consider, otherwise, if you are trying to heal, cure, or remedy the headache then you are entirely going about it the wrong way.
Though the solution to the cause of the headache maybe a tricky one to work out initially – as there are many possible causes: magnesium deficiency, spinal problems, estrogen dominance, high blood pressure, heavy metal toxicity, neurological disorders, just to name a few – it ALWAYS results in lifelong healing. Well worth the time and investigation, I believe.
…You see, when you realise the cause of YOUR kidney disease, you will be freed from its hold on you. And it won't stop just at your kidneys, your whole body & life will be transformed by the flow on effect.
"Ones' health displays the law of 'cause and effect' with perfection"
Take diabetes for example, the number one cause of kidney disease in the world, do you believe just treating the kidneys will be enough to heal them permanently if you leave your diabetes unchecked?

2016 was a year where so many people were leaving us. Many deaths occurred, especially celebrities, that by the end of the year we were posting and tweeting "Screw you 2016!"
Then here came 2017…
The year has not brought on many deaths but more questions. Two, very highly regarded and well loved musicians, made the ultimate and permanent decision of ending their life. Chris Cornell, lead singer of bands AudioSlave and Soundgarden, was found hung in his hotel room just after performing for thousands on May 17th. It was a shock through out the world, especially to his family, who strongly believe Chris didn't kill himself on purpose; and i agree.
Then almost two months to the day, Chris' dear and beloved friend, Chester Bennington, Lead singer of the hit and popular band Linkin Park, also died by hanging in his own home on July 20th; the day of Chris' birthday. As the world was still morning the loss of Chris, we had to endure the even greater shock of yet another taking his life when he had given so much and still had more to give. His family also believes it was not done on purpose; and i agree.
But Why? That is the biggest question everyone has when these two decided to leave us. Why would they end their own life? Many can't even comprehend because they had successful careers and loving families; why would these just throw that all away? The answer to that is pretty simple and usually forgotten: depression; Or in better words, mental illness. Mental Illness comes in many different forms and in different levels. Some just have mild depression or anxiety and others can go as high as bipolar or schizophrenia; but it is all the same. It is a mental condition in where some thoughts or actions are not in our control. Chester had always been open about his bouts of depression and shared his own personal hell through his music. He was also open about certain events in his life that made him who he is and why it was dangerous inside his own head. He once said in an interview:
"My head is like a bad neighborhood and you do not want me to go walking alone"
He struggled with drugs and alcohol but did overcome it after a while and in his music he was able to express to the world how he felt and how everyone else felt. Songs like Crawlin', My December, Leave out all the rest — he expressed his own personal hell to us through those songs. Now Chris suffered from Anxiety and being a performer, that is a tough disease to overcome when you need to perform in front of thousands and have the world look at everything you do. He also struggled with drugs and alcohol and also overcome that, but the anxiety was still there–Chester's depression was still there; and even though they sang with their unique and God given talent, It wasn't enough to put those demons away at night.
According to new reports, Chris' autopsy showed he had taken extra (not an overdose) of his anxiety medication, and one of the side effects of these meds are if taken to much, you are prone to commit suicide. Chris didn't want to die, but he did want to end the pain and sadly lost his life because of it. Chester's autopsy has not yet been released but some news outlets did mention that no drugs (medication or not) was found in his house but there were empty alcohol bottles in the room. If Chester was taking medications like Chris or for his bouts of depression, one of the worse things to do is drink alcohol, especially if he had a large quantity. That also causes changes in your mind where you do things drastically without thinking. Sadly, Chester was alone that night and, in my opinion, was drinking to kill the pain over the loss of Chris, as it was going to be Chris' birthday the next day. He didn't want to die, he just wanted to stop hurting.
There is a common theme here and as much of us still do not understand the full severity on what Chris and Chester was going through, we do know this; It is hard to comprehend that two individuals saved thousands through their music but the thousand was not enough to save them.
Now I was angry when Chester died. I have been a Linkin Park fan since the very beginning and their music saved me through such dark times in my life; even times where I just wanted to end it. I couldn't believe that Chester did that but also I was sad that he did. Chester knew he was loved and so did Chris, but sometimes that 10 second window of your mind playing tricks on you shows you are not loved and It hurts to know that they felt that kind of pain before they died. They left behind wives and children and band-mates who were like brothers to them, but fame and fortune can't erase the pain that someone feels; it is a disease like any other and people need to seek help for it. Chester and Chris did, we know that, but what we learned from their deaths is that you are never cured from it; it is something you have to live with and deal with everyday, but know you are not alone in this world and know that you have support around you. That i think is the gift Chris and Chester gave us; to know we are NOT alone.
Now I wanted to end this post with lyrics from Linkin Park's new album that came out just weeks before Chris' death and this particular song really hits you in the feels as Chester sings this with such passion; but so hard to know he ended up being that one more light…
Who cares if one more light goes out?
In a sky of a million stars
It flickers, flickers
Who cares when someone's time runs out?
If a moment is all we are
We're quicker, quicker
Who cares if one more light goes out?
Well I do

In this Article, I will try as much as possible to reveal how to cook Noodles in a way it counters the potential health hazard it might poss to the body.
Long before now, it has been generally accepted that noodles are healthy, till recent discoveries start taking place to ascertain the health implication of its major Ingredients, and how to cook noodles in the best possible healthy way.
Before I show you how to cook Noodles, let's talk about some hidden truth you might not know about noodles.
Noodles: The truth behind the mask
Something in December 2016, we were at the verge of rounding up 30 days live practical we started with rats for my dietetics degree project.
I was working on a different topic with Garlic while a colleague of mine was working on White Magic (Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) popularly know as AJI-NO-MOTO).
We were the two that took up a rat study under our supervisors.
So it's was obvious we both understood our different project.
During these times, I have come to understand that the primary main ingredient used in the preparation of the spice used for cooking noodle (aside from the wheat flour used as the primary main ingredients for the whole) is this Monosodium Glutamate my colleagues were working on.
So while I invested time in my own research, I invested my time in hers too.
I even had to do her statically analysis for Free because I wanted to be sure people won't manipulate values for us.
Now! Here is the thing.
We feed about 28 rats, but they were grouped into four.
??The First (control group) Group was feed, their normal feed…
??The second group was administered only their normal feed and Monosodium glutamate (MSG).
??The third had only their normal feed, Monosodium glutamate (MSG) and countered with Vit C
??While the Last was feed with both their normal feed, Monosodium glutamate (MSG) together with Vit C and E
With these different groups, We were meant to do a histological lesion (carcass analysis) on both the liver and the kidney. (Just forgive my big grammar) and also on the kidney and liver functions.
At the end of the 30 days, we dissected the rats, took the blood samples and also the kidney and liver of all rats of each group.
Here is what happened that shocked me.
When we compared the control group with the rats that were feed with ONLY MSG, there was a significant INCREASE in the weight of the rat and the liver weight.
Not only that, the different SENSITIVE MARKERS for both the kidney and liver (e.g Serum Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT)) increased significantly.
We went further to view the lesion on the tissues of both the liver and kidney, and it was ridiculous.
The same ingredient we eat on a daily basis in the name of eating noodles!
Going further to see what happened when Vit C and E was used as a protective agent to counter this effect. It was noticed that Both Vitamins significantly countered the oxidative stress induced by MSG.
I wouldn't like to bore you with sermons here…
The fact that I literally saw what happened to the liver cells and kidney cells of these rats disposed me to start looking at the different nutritional contents of Noodles…
I was shocked to my bone marrow.
I came to understand why a brand here in Nigeria (tummy-tummy noodles) had to incorporate a little bit of vegetable as their ingredient (this is not in any way endorsing Tummy Tummy Noodles).
Maybe Because, if we look further, a Nutritionist-Dietitian was involved in their recipe development.
No doubts Noodles is one of the food that you can literally cook within a few minutes.
That is exactly why a good population indulge in eating it (which am not an exception, lol).
The fact remains that we can't keep substituting health with convenience, which is why we must find an alternative around it.
Now, here is the alternative.
A lot of folks reading this are mostly entrepreneur (or parents who their kids can't just do without eating noodles), which most times predisposes us to tight schedules and little attention to our eating habit, But for the sole purpose of still being health, Here is how best to prepare those noddles.
Healthy Indomie Recipe: How to Cook Noodles {In a healthy Manner}
Noodle its self is very low in;
??Dietary Fibre
??Vitamins and minerals…(these ingredients are lost during wheat flour refinement which is also among the primary ingredients used )
??But very high in Carbohydrate.
From the story Injected here, you can notice that the combination of vitamin C and E became a protective agent.
So to best counter the effect of this MSG, and the presence of oxalate in the noodles (which further inhibit the absorption of iron).
Here is how to cook noodles using healthy Noodles Recipe.
You must make sure you have, tomatoes, green beans/pumpkin leaf, garlic/onion and crayfish at your disposal; As these foods contain to a great extent the good amount of the two vitamins needed to counter the effect of the monosodium glutamate and other anti-nutrients, and also boost your immune system.
- Then Get your pot.
- Pour A little amount of water depending on the number of noodles being prepared.
- Allow the water to boil for at least 5 minutes.
- Pour the ingredient provided by noodles.
- Allow boiling for 1 minute.
- Add your noodles and cover your pot.
- Allow it to dry a bit, pour every other ingredient you want to use for your noodles, and pour a good quantity of water that is likely to get the quantity of the noodles you are cooking done.
- Allow to dry and put down.
You are good to go with your healthy noodles.
Knowing how to cook noodles in a very healthy way should be paramount to every folk that enjoys the sweetness of noodles. In as much as we love tasty foods, our health should be at the top of the list.
Also, when cooking your noodles, The fact that you use crayfish shouldn't make you leave out egg if you love egg too much. But Never try frying egg together with your noodle. If must us use egg, make sure you boil it.

If you've met me at a cocktail party, or know me from the neighborhood, you know that I'm kind of an opinionated broad. And, while I'm happy to chat about ALMOST anything over wine, I usually have a sober second thought before putting these opinions in print. Where they'll never go away. And could, possibly, become fodder for one of those angry Twitter strings.

Housing affordability - extended policy
The Veterans Party believes Negative gearing is an issue that has an enormous impact on housing affordability and needs a wider understanding of what happens.
The Veterans Party understand that negative gearing itself is an issue but not one that has the impact that people think it has. Property portfolios actually take some pressure off government to supply services when people are secure in their ability to supply suitable income for themselves by investing in Property. The benefit of negative gearing is that it supplies many jobs to building companies and trades people associated with the building industry. However there is room in the market to supply relief to first home buyers by way of applying a moratorium on property under the median house price (say 10%) that is already had its first owner. For example the median house price in Brisbane in 2015 was approaching $500000 ($498000) for a normal house in and standard suburb. Applying the 10% makes the price range $450000-550000. Therefore the government (ATO) could withdraw the provisions of negative gearing for houses in that range or lower. It doesn't stop people from buying as an investment but makes them think about, how do I afford this property without the tax concessions?
Sean Macnamara from The Veterans Party explains; The issue of capital gains tax is an issue an old friend and industry associate John Symonds have discussed 2 decades ago. John is correct but from a very misunderstood position. Many wealth creators use their home. For example the first –ve gearing purchase is done using equity. In say 5 years as prices rise along with wages the investor could purchase a second property for investment. This could be repeated every 3-5 years. An investor could own 4-5 properties including their home and have 1-3 still on mortgages. In planning for retirement they may sell their old home and move to one of the latest investment properties and sell another to discharge all mortgage debt. This in effect could negate the capital gains as much as 100%. There needs to be some research done at the ATO on this. However the plan had and still is being promoted widely by accountants and planners. The median house pricing approach also nips this in the bud.
The ALP policy possibly wouldn't work given a number of issues… one is the renovation industry which in itself generates a massive tax and revenue pool and employs any number of trades people and other associated industries such as legal, real estate agents and so on. Also the Parliamentary budget office hasn't accounted for affordability and overseas buyer impacts.
Sean Macnamara says with current mortgage rates being at historical low's you would think anyone can afford to buy a home. It simply isn't the case. Buying a home in Sydney can cost $1m in many suburbs. In that price range you will require a minimum $50000 deposit, Lenders mortgage insurance in the range of $40000 and fees and cost of $15000 odd. That's if you can take on a mortgage of $950000. On a government assessed medium wage of $80000 and your partner earing $40000 and using 30% of gross income. You have $36000 to pay toward your mortgage not including any other debt you may have… it simply doesn't work, even on current low mortgage rates.
Lenders factor in an additional 2% for forward and future risk. Using a standard 1-2 year IO loan reverting to P&I over 20 years, the example above might only afford a loan of $600000-650000. That is if they have the deposit and costs and fees. So pricing is the problem as is savings… not mortgages!
There has been much analysis on the cost of developing new land and also on the GST impact (on the way through) for new homes. I don't believe this is still a direct issue as it has its impact on new property and not on older property. However rises in valuations does have some impact and should not be dismissed without some consideration, says Sean Macnamara.
He also states. Young Australians have been priced out of the Australian market by buyers from overseas. The reason is that overseas buyers come here cashed up and have no problem buying at our median prices… if they really want a property they will buy above value because they do not require finance to settle. I believe FIRB can be used here… many international buyers do so for student family or as investments for future plans or as a fall back scenario to exit their own country. However they often remain attached to their own country. International purchases of this nature can be both means and in the best interest of the nation tested. In many other countries such tests exit as well as the need to have an interest in that country such as a company that employs a local director and shareholder. In many of these cases the local owns at least 51% of the company.
Other background information:
There are over 900000 Australian claiming negative gearing deductions.
There are no statistics on exactly how many properties are negatively geared.
Negative gearing applies to other asset classes such as shares, bonds and negotiable instruments. Even plantation timbers have been negatively geared, mostly using equity. This paper only deals with real property as a negative gearing proposition.
In the last 3-5 years FIRB has approved in excess of 5-6000 overseas property purchases each year. The amount has risen from $17.5B to $25B in 2-3 years to EOFY 2014.

In its capacity as local authority for the 'Square Mile', there are regulations at a European, national and local level which the City of London must follow when procuring goods, services and works and when establishing approved tender lists.
The City of London, in its role as local authority is subject to EU Directives governing Tender procedures. The European Union (EU) Procurement Directives, and the Regulations that implement them in the UK, set out the law on public procurement. Their purpose is to open up the public procurement market and to ensure the free movement of goods and services within the EU.
The rules apply to purchases by public bodies and certain utilities which are above set monetary thresholds. They cover all EU Member States and, because of international agreements, their benefits extend to a number of other countries worldwide.
Where the Regulations apply, contracts must be advertised in the Official Journal of the EU (OJEU) and there are other detailed rules that must be followed. The rules are enforced through Member States' courts, and the European Court of Justice (ECJ).
Further information about the EC Procurement Directives can be viewed at the SIMAP website
The City of London's Procurement processes are regulated by the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 which implement in England and Wales the EU Directive 2014/24/EU on public procurement.
The City of London also has a duty under Best Value legislation (introduced in April 2000) as laid down by Part 1 of the Local Government Act 1999 to fundamentally review its services and make arrangements to ensure continuous improvement having regard to economy, efficiency and effectiveness. Performance indicators and targets for improvement are set and published in an annual Best Value Performance Plan. The City of London recognises that effective procurement is at the heart of Best Value and that the Best Value review process will help deliver its commitment to provide the best possible services for the people of the 'Square Mile'.
Further information about Best Value is available on the Department of Communities and Local Government website. The City of London must also have regard to Part ll of the Local Government Act 1988 which prohibits "non commercial considerations" being taken into account when awarding contracts.
Procurement activities must also comply with the City of London's Standing Orders and Financial Regulations. These are the City of London's own internal rules that govern its operations.
City Procurement also has in place a Procurement Code (319KB) which integrates these local rules with those issued by the EU/UK e.g. Public Contracts Regulations 2015. Any procurement undertaken by the City must follow the City of London Procurement code.
An extract from the Procurement Code detailing the procurement procedures to be followed for the various thresholds is provided below:
Except where there is a contract already in place, the Local Procurement Directive requires officers to invite a local supplier from one of the Local Procurement target boroughs to quote for all supplies, service and consultancy contracts valued between £10,000 and £100,000 and for works contracts valued between £10,000 and £400,000, where possible.
The Local Procurement target boroughs are:
In order to be awarded the contract, the local supplier will have to provide a competitive quote or tender, which offers the best value for money to the City.

One Crazy Stamper! My niece has a birthday coming right up....and this image is perfect!
This adorable image called Hello by Stampavie inspired my pink, black, grey and white color scheme.
I colored my image with the following Copic Markers: 110, T4, T2, N3, RV10, E42. I used a pink Sharpie permanent marker for my phone details and used a Signo white gel pen to add the detailing on the phone back in after coloring it black. I also highlighted kitty's eyes with the white gel pen. Finally, I distressed the image with Tim Holtz Pumice Stone Distress Ink.
I used a simple designer paper and some stickers to add my sentiment. Sometimes clean and simple just strikes me, and in this case I wanted the image to shine!

Go Away Closer: Strange Intimacies and the Poetics and Politics of Person in Contemporary Minority, U.S. Ethnic, and Postcolonial Writings (Delphine Munos)
The alleged 'new openness' of our globalized era can be underpinned by universalizing impulses that reintroduce old forms of Euro-American centrism. My hypothesis is that contemporary literary texts by 'minority' and postcolonial authors have much to offer when it comes to creating new discursive spaces through which the homogenizing thrust of globalization and its commodification of difference are not only exposed but also kept in check.
My project looks at the ways in which the multiplication of 'impossible' and non-conversational kinds of telling in minority writing are geared towards expressing the 'exclusion-by-inclusion paradox' faced by minority groups in Western multicultural societies. Specifically, I wish to analyze how the "strategies of referential indeterminacy" (Monika Fludernik) at play in texts written in the second person ("you texts") and the first-person plural ("we texts") dislodge readers from a position of power and privilege and create new perspectives.
With the help of interdisciplinary incursions into the domains of globalization theory, postcolonial studies, literary theory, memory studies, and narratology, this project aims to show that 'impossible' or non-conversational forms of telling participate in myriad ways in Doris Sommer's "particularist strategies," because their poetics and politics of selective individualization, shifting referentiality and/or excessive permeability have a tremendous potential for problematizing the evacuation of otherness in our globalized era.

Bozo people who live along Niger river, are related to Bamana. Known as people of the fish they make their living by fishing. Bozo masks are of vivid colors, often decorated with contrasting dots.
The guide who located these small masks for us comes from the family of a well known collector and dealer of Bozo art in Mali.
This leopard mask brings to mind an African proverb:
"After dark all cats are leopards."

text: folderol and 0 Report post Posted December 9, 2006 I have a few small things to say: I'm glad to see the fansite up and all the thoughts and ideas that are being put into it. Seems like it's going to be great. I'd be happy to contribute to the website occasionally (news, lyrics, timeline) if any help is needed. Just a little, mostly unrelated complaint: I don't like the new fabricated songtitles i.e. "Stop Right Now" and "Defintion of a Crazy Person". I've always known these songs as "the clocks were asleep" and "I cut off my hair". Since when were these new titles the accepted ones? Regina never confirmed the titles to these songs (among others) anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How to get the media's attention for another environmental summit
As governments struggle to agree what to use next year's Rio+20 meeting for, it is encouraging to see that Secretary General Sha Zukang has this pithy quote at the ready for the world's disinterested news desks.
"The environment is getting worse day by day. The resources are depleting very quickly day by day and the population is increasing day by day." (Source)
Promising. Very promising.

What You Should And Shouldn't Do In A Hit-and-run Case – The Legal Approach
It doesn't matter how many times you hear not to drive when you're not clearly able to drive a vehicle since you're drunk, there always will be people who commits the same mistake. If you ever have seen how people react to these sort of incidents, to which you also may have joined, how unreasonable and irresponsible the driver must have been.
But like someone wise once said, 'everything is philosophical until it is your problem'.
In a background like this, understanding the bigger picture is essential at all times. In fact, knowing where you stand as the offender or the victim is where you should start everything off at. Hence, even if you're going through read right after an incident, it still will help you to safeguard yourself as everything unveils.
- As the offender
As long as the victim is alive, you have a perfectly solid chance of getting away by the law, in the proper way. But what if it was told that even if the victim was not alive, you had a chance of making yourself innocent? This is not about the perspective but putting together the facts that need to be in the picture that you want the court officials to see.
Let us take an example; what if the victim was heavily drugged or drunk when he/she suddenly came out of nowhere and hit the vehicle? Whose fault is it to be precise? This is probably where the role of the narcotic and drug lawyers Penrith who specialize in the hit-and-run cases will be useful. That way, if you could prove that as long as you were under the speed limits, there was no way that you could have altered this fate, and then you will be innocent by all means. Likewise, you should know who should be hire and what must be prioritized.
- As the victim
If you're just another citizen who was perfectly sane and following the road rules a regulations when you got hit by a careless driver, you have the right to speak for your justice. In doing so, traffic and drink driving lawyers Parramatta will be your voice in the court. By the law, you should understand that there would always be a natural tendency for the court to see the offender to be convicted just like that. But what you should not forget is that they also will be hiring lawyers to speak up for them.
Since their primary objective is to get out of the case as the innocent, you must make that you have hire the right professionals for the job. As long as that happens, there is no way that the court treats you any less fair than the usual.
Dentistry Implants 101 – 4 Debunked Myths
Myths are confronted by archaic people who fear change and intend on living whatever the living conditions they live in. In a world where you can change your gender, it is about time we open our minds to the reality and improve our lifestyles. Your mouth and its components play a very significant role in helping you leading a healthy lifestyle and helping you to become a more attractive and confident person. However, there are some whispers about dentistry implants that keeps a lot of us away from using them. It is about time you know the truth.Here are 4 debunked myths about dentistry implants. They develop septic conditions in the gum with timeThis would have been perfectly true if the metal used for the implants was a metal that has the rusting characteristics. But titanium metal does not rust. It's location in the activity series subjects it to least reactivity with all the major vitamins and whatnot. Hence, there is absolutely no special probability of developing septic conditions as long as you maintain your general oral hygiene. They are too expensiveAs shallow as it sounds, dental care is probably the cheapest way of treatments in par with OPD medication. The thing is that, if you came across a clinic that seemed to a little more expensive than the general occasion, it could be due to the brand quality of the clinic. If you're planning on getting veneers Chatswood applied to your teeth, make sure that the place is reliable in all the other ways. There are a lot of cheap places where the practitioners won't even remove the layers on teeth before application just because it needs proper equipment and careful practice. Although it isn't supposed to be expensive, do not settle down for cheap solutions, period.The solutions are generally not good for childrenThis is a false belief that puts the lives of countless children worldwide at stake. Thinks about it, the childhood is the best time to amend alignment issues, replacement of teeth and whatnot simply since the mouth is not permanently fixed. If you waiting until the issue to resolve itself, your child will only be facing even more severe conditions as an adult.
On the top of that, you must ensure to hire a trusted childrens dentist chatswood to make sure that your child gets a more personalized service. This is due to the fact that the approaches practiced by child healthcare professionals are quite specialized.The effectiveness isn't guaranteedOf course it's guaranteed! In fact, you will be able to visibly see the results at the end of the treatment. The reason why a minority of people believe is that, their version of treatments that involve with implants aren't quite long term. As long as you prioritize quality, there will be no such issue, period.

February is Pet Dental Health Month, and TJ has a few tips to keep their teeth healthy and clean. While brushing is best, the act of chewing something that rubs against the tooth's surface can be helpful in removing or preventing tartar buildup.
A healthy, chewy treat that you can make at home is a dehydrated slice of sweet potato! They're a great source of vitamin A, as well as antioxidants, fiber, potassium, and other vitamins and minerals.
Simply cut up a sweet potato into about 1/4" slices, and bake at 250* for 3 hours, turning halfway through. If you have a food dehydrator, drying for about 6-8 hours should yield a chewy consistency.
*Avoid gastrointestinal upset by giving small sweet potato chews in moderation.
For more great tips, check out TJ's other blog articles.

The Orange County International Auto Show in Anaheim, Calif., was where the 2012 Honda CR-V Concept debuted. It previews the styling direction for the all-new, fourth-generation CR-V. Set to start selling in the U.S. by the end of 2011, this new CR-V is expected to debut at the Los Angeles Auto Show this November.
The CR-V Concept uses a unique and aggressive styling direction for the best-selling SUV in the U.S. The concept model has a more aggressive stance with deeper sculpting of the body lines and a bolder front fascia when compared to the existing CR-V.
The smooth-flowing lines on the front bumper are emphasized by a horizontal three-bar grille and deeply set multi-reflector headlights. The lower front bumper wraps upward. It has a generous approach angle. Meanwhile, aerodynamics is improved as the lower front bumper design blends more smoothly with the fascia.
The CR-V's signature vertical rear taillights are kept for 2012 and come with a more three-dimensional style that wraps further into the design. The strength and capability of the CR-V Concept are emphasized with its large 5-spoke machined alloy wheels and bold fender flares.
The improvements to the all-new 2012 CR-V include the use of a more fuel-efficient engine and a lower body weight. Aside from the new exterior styling, the 2012 CR-V features an all-new interior with a design that's more accommodating and roomier. P.S. Also check the 2012 Honda CR-V Patent Images!
The third-generation Honda CR-V was considered a great success; topping the SUV sales market from 2007 to 2010. This is mainly thanks to its size and proportion, as well as its styling elements like its multi-reflector halogen headlights, long full-body taillights, and an array of exterior detailing. The latest generation CR-V tries to build on that success by sporting a more aggressive appearance and a more aerodynamic stance – thanks to its bolder front end and more sculpted bodylines.
For instance, the front end is marked by a front bumper with smooth-flowing lines and a horizontal three-bar grille flanked by multi-reflector headlights. The front bumper's lower section wraps upward to highlight the CR-V's SUV capability, while its lower section now integrates seamlessly with the front fascia to further enhance its aerodynamics. The 2012 Honda CR-V still features the SUV's signature vertical rear brake lights that were first seen on the 1997 model.
However, this element now features 3D styling that further augments the CR-V's design and aerodynamics. In addition, the new Honda CR-V features large wheels and fender flares. A number of design elements on the 2012 Honda CR-V were meant to enhance its aerodynamic efficiency, like its longer roofline and integrated rear spoiler that contributes to its lower coefficient of drag.
The EX-L version of the CR-V is specified with silver roof rails that begin at the A-pillars and then sweep along the roofline toward the SUV's rear end. These fully functional silver roof rails -- available as an accessory on CR-V LX and EX – serve as an attachment point for an accessory rack and feature three anchor points on each side.

When Democrats oppose Donald Trump on his fantasy of a wall/barrier/fence/whatever on the border with Mexico, they often bury the easiest, clearest reason to oppose it. Sure, yeah, it's racist, since, you know, none of the wall-humpers are talking about the extraordinarily porous border with Canada. Sure, Nancy Pelosi is right that the wall is "immoral, expensive, and unwise."
But the easiest way to explain why Democrats have refused to fund it is that it's all a goddamn lie. That's it. That's all you have to say. No other explanation is needed: "The President is lying when he says that a border wall is needed. We may as well build a castle for his unicorn."
There is no criminal crisis caused by undocumented immigrants coming through the southern border. According to Customs and Border Protection's own numbers, the Border Patrol arrested about 6300 "criminal aliens" (people who were convicted of previous crimes) in most of fiscal year 2018 (final numbers aren't in because, well, government shutdown). Over half were convicted of previously entering the country illegally. You can cut almost 2000 more for either driving under the influence or drug possession.
The actual number of violent criminals who make it into the country is incredibly small, and even conservatives like the Cato Institute know that undocumented immigrants commit far fewer crimes (other than being in the country undocumented) than Americans because, well, it's pretty fuckin' obvious why. The lowest rate for crimes is among documented immigrants, even lower than among Americans. So, by the logic of crime prevention, we should be letting more immigrants in. That would legitimately make the nation safer. And, yeah, it's fucked up whenever anyone is murdered, whether it's by an immigrant or an American-born asshole. But that's a law enforcement issue that a fuckin' wall ain't gonna do shit to solve.
Besides, how many children need to die or be kept in cages just so a bunch of paranoid racists can delude themselves into believing they're safer? I don't find that a fair trade-off.
As for the huge amount of drugs that get into the U.S. through the southern border, put aside that most of it comes in hidden in trucks and trains and cars and boats and planes that cross completely legally. Put aside the use of tunnels that are already dug under places where there isn't even a wall. Put aside all the things that our deranged cockmite of a president said at his lunatic press conference on Friday. Instead, focus on this: If you talk about stopping drug abuse in the United States and you don't support a comprehensive national health plan that includes help for addicts, you aren't serious about stopping drug abuse in the United States. You are bullshitting and preening for the cameras. You don't actually give a shit about addiction.
There are lies upon lies. The wall ain't gonna happen. How fucking long do you think cases are going to work their way through courts when the federal government attempts to seize private property through eminent domain? How fucking long do you think any cases dealing with water rights and access will take to get decided? How fucking long do you think cases that deal with the environmental impact of a goddamn barrier in the middle of migratory routes and feeding grounds are gonna take? How about cases involving lands that are sacred to indigenous people? How much money is all that costing? How much time? Gimme a fuckin' break.
Trump likes to pretend that he knew that going to war in Iraq in 2003 was a mistake and that he knew that the whole case for war was based on lies. But what he's doing here is a mirror of the propaganda prior to the invasion of Iraq: a hyped crisis that is based on readily disputed information. He likes to pretend that he is saving the nation money by getting us out of Syria (even if he really isn't) or Afghanistan (which, if he does, that's actually a good thing). Meanwhile, he's willing to just piss away billions upon untold billions of dollars on this lie. The big difference now is that there are many on the left and right who aren't getting fooled this time.
Tomorrow night Trump's going to give some kind of rambling, incoherent, belligerent speech about the "Humanitarian and National Security crisis on our Southern Border," as he tweeted in his over-capitalizing way today. The only humanitarian crisis is the one that the United States has created by its cruel policies, made even crueler by this administration in violating laws and treaties on refugees and those seeking amnesty. The only national security crisis is in the greedy, diseased brains of those who need someone to demonize in order to maintain power (and probably get some sweet contracts to donors, like, say, the steel industry).
And those who oppose this nonsense have to take a stand for facts, for truth, for reality. Too many of us have given in too many times to the dangerous whims of our leaders, with many believing that the liars were acting in good faith. It has always led, at the very least, to distracting from solving real problems or, at worst, to disaster.
The wall is a lie. Everything about it is a lie. Everyone who wants to build it is a liar. That should be the message.
(Note: Nothing in here should be construed to mean that I don't want any border security. That's fuckin' stupid and only fuckin' stupid people would get that from this post.)
