Dishonest Attack On My Bond Conditions
UPDATE: This post has been updated to reflect that the Commonwealth's Attorney seems to have thought better about threatening my freedom against the Judge's orders, and I am once again free to move about my city of residence.
On March 27th I got a text from the guy who manages the GPS monitor I have around my ankle. My ankle cop, as I like to call him. He said that he got an email from the Commonwealth saying I am no longer able to move about my city of residence, and must not leave my apartment until further notice.
I of course complied with this demand, and notified my lawyer, Elmer Woodard.
Elmer looked into it, and it seems the Commonwealth's Attorney is operating as though I did not win my motion for enlargement.
That's exceedingly strange, since all the major media outlets in Charlottesville, none of which are particularly fond of me, reported on this at the time.
Higgins did grant a defense request to expand the conditions of Cantwell's bond, allowing him to travel around the undisclosed Virginia city in which he is living ahead of his trial.
However, she did grant a final motion to amend Cantwell's bond to allow him to go anywhere within the undisclosed Virginia city where he currently resides.
Higgins granted the motion to allow Cantwell — who is currently free on bond — to be able to move around the city limits of his residence in Virginia. It is unclear where Cantwell is currently residing.
The judge denied the motion to remove Albemarle County Commonwealth's Attorney Robert Tracci from the case, but approved the motion to allow Cantwell to move within city limits with his ankle monitor.
I don't know why you keep fuckin with my bond, Mr. Tracci. I ain't the one who skips the country every time new evidence comes to light!
You might recall we had filed a motion to have Robert Tracii removed and appoint a special prosecutor. This was on account of the fact that he is going to be called as a witness in both this criminal proceeding, and the civil suit against my accusers. When one reads the transcript of my preliminary hearing, you can see my accusers confess to altering their stories after meeting with Mr. Tracii. This is one of the reasons I have repeatedly accused them of perjury, and since Robert Tracii has already admitted he knows their sworn statements before and during the hearing were false, it is beginning to look like he suborned and continues to suborn perjury.
Robert Tracii already filed a motion to revoke my bond, and has yet to explain why. The court certainly hasn't granted that motion. Now that he lost to Jason Kessler, and I'm about to get the FBI involved, he seems to be getting really desperate and resorting to more dishonest tactics than usual. That is a high bar to set for someone as dishonest as Robert Tracii.
On March 28th I got another call from ankle cop. Apparently somehow Mr. Tracii figured out that restricting my freedom against the orders of a judge wasn't going to work out for him once we got into court. So I am once again free to move about my city of residence. Since he had no basis for doing so, and has shown no basis for his motion to revoke my bond, I'm beginning to suspect he's screwing with me in the hopes I'll jump bond and lamb it.
That ain't happening. You couldn't pay me to run away from this thing, because I'm not just going to beat it, I'm going to use it to profit and destroy my enemies in court.
Aside from busting Antifa for interstate travel to participate in a riot, public corruption is right up the FBI's alley. I can't wait to speak to them.
Charlottesville is going to end up being the best thing that ever happened to me and the Alt Right. Their assumption that they could prosecute us based on lies and political biases seems to be falling apart before their eyes. The next city that wants to call itself the "capital of the resistance" and start violating the Constitution and other federal laws, might want to see about seceding from the union first, because having a higher authority intervene always works out badly for corrupt political hacks.

How does it work?
This one takes a bit of explaining but read this section through a couple of times and you'll be ready. Here's a quick example, but we'll also take you through a real offer step-by-step in a minute:
How matched betting works
There's an offer to 'Bet £10, Get £30'. To get the £30 bet from the bookmaker, you have to stake £10 of your own money. This is known as the 'qualifying bet'.
Place a £10 'back bet' at the bookmaker on England to win a game.
With matched betting, you match this at the betting exchange by placing a 'lay bet'. In this example, a £10 bet that says that England won't win. This covers both a loss and a draw:
Now, because you've placed two bets which cover all possible outcomes, you won't win any money. The important thing is: you won't lose any either – the two bets cancel each other out. So where does the money come from, then? It comes from the £30 free bet, which you've unlocked by doing the qualifying bet.
How does matched betting work?
5 steps to making a profit from matched betting
In this section, we'll go through the bare bones of how matched betting works.
#1. Sign up with a bookmaker
Find one offering a welcome bonus and deposit some money into the new account. Check the T&Cs of the offer to make sure you're meeting the criteria.
#2. Open an account with a betting exchange
…and deposit some money. You'll need to put in more than you did in the bookmaker account to cover something called 'liability'.
The liability of a lay bet depends on the odds taken when you placed the bet. If you're into the maths side of things, this formula shows how to calculate your liability: Liability = (Decimal Odds -1) x Stake.
Here's a quick example: if you were to place a lay bet using £10 stake with decimal odds 6.5 your liability would be:
Liability = (6.5-1) x £10
= 5.5 x £10
= £55
#3. Use OddsMatcher to find an event to bet on
The original odds matching software sources and sorts the best odds for you. Use the filters to finds matched betting opportunities which fall within the T&Cs of the offer you're doing and use the built-in calculator to work out how much you'll need to back and lay, as well as how much money you'll make.
#4. Complete your qualifying bet
Find and place your back bet at the bookmaker and do the same for your lay bet at the betting exchange. Don't worry – we'll show you exactly how to do this. Sign up for Free now and get the guides for two sign up offers! Once the event you've bet on has taken place, the bookmaker will credit your account with the free bet. Depending on the bookmaker, this could take up to 48 hours.
#5. Complete your free bet
In matched betting, you're looking to keep around 75% and 80% of the free bet amount. For a £20 free bet, this is around £15 to £16. Using almost exactly the same method you've just completed the qualifying bet with, find and place the back and lay parts of your free bet. Again, we'll show you exactly how to do this with written and handy video guides.

I want to eat everything in "Everything I Want to Eat: Sqirl and the New California Cooking," the first cookbook from Jessica Koslow, the chef of Sqirl in Los Angeles. Here are the sorrel pesto rice bowl, the crispy fried sturgeon, the Malva pudding cakes, the brown rice horchata that get Angelenos to spend up to an hour waiting in the California sun to place an order at her tiny cafe.
Ms. Koslow's cooking defies easy categorization. The Venn diagram of Sqirl is the intersection of health food and diner food and Michelin-starred kitchens: sprouted grains, eggs for dinner, a few flashes of dazzling technique. The flavors are from all over the globe, and they feel true without being beholden to particular regions. If it sounds like too much, in Ms. Koslow's hands it all makes sense.
The Best Cookbooks of Fall 2016
Our reporters and editors review new releases from Alton Brown, Diana Henry and more.
Take the socca, a pancake-like flatbread made with chickpea flour, water, olive oil and salt. It's found in Nice in the South of France, where it's wrapped in paper and eaten on the street. Ms. Koslow's version is cooked with shredded carrots, zucchini or winter squash; seasoned with mint, oregano, cilantro and North African spices; then served with a peppery salad and a glop of labneh — a marketplace snack transformed into a meal. This is the kind of dish that will enter your repertoire, something you make when you want to impress your friends or when you forgot to shop and are forced to rummage through the fridge.
The book itself looks less like a cookbook than an exhibition catalog. The pages are tastefully spare, the images stark. There are full-page portraits of regular customers with the clothes and expressions that real people wear. It feels raw and direct, and it stands out at a time when some cookbooks can be overly precious or overly produced.
Some of the recipes are for the ambitious: the "beets on fish on beets on fish" calls for you to smoke whitefish, beet-cure salmon, dehydrate trout skin and turn pickled beets into powder.
But many are less involved. The sticky-toffee whole-wheat date cake is a showstopper that a baker with rudimentary skills could pull off. The topping is a toffee glaze made with brown sugar, agave, butter and sea salt; you pour half of it over the cake while still hot so that it saturates the cake, giving it a puddinglike consistency, then wait before using the rest as a high-gloss frosting you sprinkle with sea salt. Seemingly complicated, but surprisingly simple.

Marco Tirelli: Tutta la mia vita l'ho immaginata [I have imagined my entire life]
Cornell in Rome Fall 2018 Lecture Series
Marco Tirelli was born in 1956 in Rome, where he still lives and works. He began to exhibit in the second half of the 1970s, and his first participation at the Venice Biennale was in 1982, in the section Aperto 82 with a personal room. His collective exhibitions in Italy and abroad were numerous in the 80s, including, among others, the PAC in Milan and the XI Quadrennial in Rome in 1986; Dal ritorno all'ordine al richiamo alla pittura 1920-1987, a traveling exhibition hosted by the Kunsternes Hus in Oslo; the Anteniim Taideemusee in Helsinki; the Matildenhöhe in Darmstadt and the Kunsthalle in Bielefeld in 1987; the GAM Bologna in 1988; and Diptych, Aspects of Abstract and Figurative Art in Italy, a traveling exhibition between the Modern Art Gallery of Istanbul, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Ankara, and the Museum of Modern Art in Tel Aviv in 1989. The 90s began with an exhibition at the American Academy in Rome, which put into dialogue a series of his drawings with some Wall Drawings by Sol LeWitt, followed by his participation in the 1990 Venice Biennale with a personal room.
Among Tirelli's most noteworthy recent exhibitions are the Sydney biennial of 1990, the São Paolo biennial of 1991, Prospect '93 at the Kunsthalle in Frankfurt in 1993, and the XII Rome Quadrennial of 1996. In 2001 he presented a site-specific installation at the Fondazione Volume! in Rome, in which he engaged painting in an environmental dimension. In 2002 the Institut Mathildenhöhe in Darmstadt, Germany, dedicated an important anthological exhibition titled Das Universum der Geometrie, which was shown the following year at the Modern Art Gallery in Bologna. In 2004 Tirelli exhibited in a collective show at the National Gallery of Modern Art in Rome, in 2005 at MART in Rovereto, and in 2006 in the group exhibition San Lorenzo in Villa Medici, home of the French Academy in Rome. His recent exhibitions include Excelle. Around the silence, Gori Collection, Fattoria di Celle, Santomato (2009); Marco Tirelli, Museum of Palazzo Fortuny, Venice (2010); Marco Tirelli, MACRO, Rome (2012); a personal room in the exhibition Vice Versa, Italian Pavilion, 2013 Venice Biennale of Art; Soltanto un quadro al massimo, the German Academy of Villa Massimo, Rome, together with Bernd and Hilla Becher (2013); Marco Tirelli, Istituto Nazionale per la Grafica, Rome (2013); Osservatorio, Fondazione Pescheria, Centro Arti Visive, Pesaro (2014); and Proportio, Palazzo Fortuny, Venice (2015). Between 2016 and 2017, Tirelli exhibited at the Fondazione Cerere in Rome, in France at the Musée d'art moderne et contemporain of Saint-Etienne Métropole, and again in Italy in the Sala delle Pietre of the Palazzi Comunali of Todi. In 2018, Tirelli had exhibitions in Switzerland, Hong Kong, and Antwerp. His works are part of the collections of some of the most important international museums.

What won't toothpaste do? It restores old sneakers and does a number on mosquito bites. No wonder it's good friends with the endlessly versatile binder clip. Today toothpaste gets one more use: making your camera flash shine bright.This trick is pretty simple. The headline almost completely describes it. Basically, you take a soft cloth, apply a small amount of toothpaste to it, and use it to gently polish your flash in a circular motion (like you're buffing out a scratch). Just be sure not to get any toothpaste in the creases of your flash or you won't be able to get it out. Once you've polished the toothpaste into oblivion, your flash should be extra clean and bright.

Fred Nuamah and Martekor Quaye
Founder of Ghana Movie Awards (GMA), Fred Nuamah, is not only an outspoken person, but he's also very good at responding to issues and arguing his way out them.
However, he is interestingly not exhibiting these traits with recent reports that he has separated from his wife, Martekor Quaye.
According to earlier reports, the one-time fine actor and his wife are wide apart now, and he has since allegedly been caught in a romance with another woman in Dubai.
He refused to respond to the allegations when NEWS-ONE contacted him.
Fred Nuamah and Martekor tied the knot on Saturday, March 3, 2018, at a private ceremony which was attended by some of Ghana's biggest showbiz personalities in Accra.

Enhanced auditor reporting standards to improve transparency and audit insight of financial statements
The enhanced auditor reporting standards were issued by the Institute of Singapore Chartered Accountants (ISCA) on 30 July 2015. These standards, which are based on the new and revised auditor reporting International Standards on Auditing (ISAs) issued by the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (IAASB), stems from the IAASB project to enhance auditor communication in response to investors' call for the auditor's report to be more informative and relevant.
These standards will change the manner in which auditors communicate their work in the auditor's report and will inevitably impact other stakeholder groups, including the preparers of the financial statements (CFOs and their finance team), the directors, the investors and the regulators.
The most significant enhancement to the auditor's report is the new requirement for auditors of financial statements of listed entities to communicate "Key Audit Matters (KAM)" – those matters that the auditors judge to be of most significance in the current period audit, with an explanation of how they were addressed in the audit. There are also enhancements to the auditor's attention and communication on matters related to going concern in the auditor's report, applicable to audits of financial statements of all entities.
New and Revised Auditor Reporting Standards
- Singapore Standard on Auditing (SSA) 700 (Revised), Forming an Opinion and Reporting on Financial Statements
- New SSA 701, Communicating Key Audit Matters in the Independent Auditor's Report
- SSA 260 (Revised), Communication with Those Charged with Governance
- SSA 570 (Revised), Going Concern
- SSA 705 (Revised), Modifications to the Opinion in the Independent Auditor's Report
- SSA 706 (Revised), Emphasis of Matter Paragraphs and Other Matter paragraphs in the Independent Auditor's Report
Conforming Amendments
In addition, conforming amendments have been made to the following SSAs and locally developed pronouncements:
- SSA 200, Overall Objectives of the Independent Auditor and the Conduct of an Audit in Accordance with Singapore Standards on Auditing;
- SSA 210, Agreeing the Terms of Audit Engagements;
- SSA 220, Quality Control for an Audit of Financial Statements;
- SSA 230, Audit Documentation;
- SSA 510, Initial Audit Engagements - Opening Balances;
- SSA 540, Auditing Accounting Estimates, Including Fair Value Accounting Estimates, and Related Disclosures;
- SSA 580, Written Representations;
- SSA 600, Special Considerations - Audits of Group Financial Statements (Including the Work of Component Auditors);
- SSA 710, Comparative Information - Corresponding Figures and Comparative Financial Statements; Statement of Auditing Practice (SAP) 2 (Revised), Auditors and Public Offering Documents;
- Audit Guidance Statement (AGS) 5, Audits of Entities in Specific Industries, Professions or Vocations; and
- AGS 10, Joint Audits.
The new and revised auditor reporting standards and the conforming amendments are effective for audits of financial statements for periods ending on or after 15 December 2016. Early adoption is allowed.
Key Enhancements to the Auditor's Report
|Key Enhancements
|Key Audit Matters (KAM)
New section to communicate KAM. KAM are those matters that, in the auditor's judgment, were of most significance in the audit of the current period financial statements
The requirement to communicate KAM is mandatory for audits of complete sets of general purpose financial statements of listed entities
|Provides information of interest to users, enhances the value of the current binary auditor's opinion and increases the relevance of audit
Insights provided in KAMs enable investors to focus on key audit issues which generally correlate to the significant risk areas of the entity - helps deepen engagement between stakeholders, management, directors and auditors
|Going Concern (GC)
|Topic of GC is of significant interest in light of the global financial crisis. In the public interest for increased focus on GC matters by management and auditors
|Statement about the Auditor's Independence and Fulfilment of Relevant Ethical Responsibilities
Affirmative statement about the auditor's independence and fulfilment of relevant ethical responsibilities
|Emphasises the importance of complying with ethical requirements as a basis for the audit and increases the focus on auditor independence
|Disclosure of Name of Engagement Partner
Disclosure of the name of the engagement partner for audits of financial statements of listed entities, with a "harm's way" exemption, i.e. disclosure is necessary unless, in rare circumstances, such disclosure is reasonably expected to lead to a significant personal security threat
|Increases transparency and provides engagement partner with a greater sense of personal responsibility and accountability, which translates to improved audit quality
|Enhanced Description of the Responsibilities of the Auditor
Description of auditor's responsibilities for the audit and key features of the audit have been enhanced and expanded
|Provides greater transparency of the audit process and provides enhanced understanding of the role of auditor and the nature of audit work
|Ordering of Sections
"Opinion" section required to be presented first, followed by the "Basis for Opinion" section, unless law or regulation prescribe otherwise
|Recognises the importance of the auditor's opinion on the financial statements to users

Project: Master Bathroom
Challenge: Transform an old room into a modern oasis
Solution: This project is an example of a complete, master bathroom overhaul. The original room was extremely outdated and unappealing. The existing built-in tub was removed and replaced with a free-standing, pedestal tub that became a focal point in this space. The shower was completely redone, as well as the sink and vanity areas. To create a "spa" look, natural materials, travertine, split-face rock and travertine mosaics were used on the room's floor and walls. Although the design was challenging with the floor tile pattern and the split-face rock selected, the transformation is really spectacular and truly embodies a modern, spa retreat.
Installation: Exceed Floor & Home

Zhuonai Lake is located at the center of Hoh Xil on the Tibet Plateau. It is a saltwater lake in the Zhiduo county, Yushu Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture of Qinghai Province, China. Zhuonai Lake, also named Hoton nol, means "Tibetan antelope" in Tibetan. The lake and its surrounding area is the most important area where the Tibetan antelope multiplies and produces children. The Lake's geo-location is 35°29′42″N - 35°37′15″N, 91°48′31″E - 92°2′8″E. It is tadpole in shape, with Wuxuefeng Peak (5577.3 m a.s.l.), Xueyue Mountain (5548.8 m a.s.l.), Daxue Mountain (5863.4 m a.s.l.) in the north, Haozharijiu Mountain (5404.4 m a.s.l.), Yueba Mountain (5386m a.s.l.) in the south. The area of the lake is 158.25 km², and the shoreline is 80.16 km. The Zhuonai lake is in the semiarid alpine climate with annual average temperature of -3 ℃, annual average precipitation of 160 mm. The water in the lake mainly depends on the surface runoff, ice and snow melting water, underground diving and precipitation. The Zhuonai River, which originated from the WuxueFeng Mountain, is the largest surface runoff that flows into the lake. In addition, some water from intermittent rivers flows into the lake during the flood season. The dataset is developed based on Google Earth images (2015) and related maps. The dataset is archived in .kmz and .shp data formats, it is consisted of 15 data files with data size of 1.24 MB (Compressed to two data files with data size of 491 KB).

The 'social' is no longer the diverse sector that is subject to the ineluctable logic of bureaucratic rationalization under the aegis of the welfare state. Rather, the social is reconfigured as a series of 'quasi-markets' in the provision of services and external to the state, and the forms of 'natural liberty' on which they depend, to one of constructing centres of agency and activity, of making them durable, and of implanting continuous relations of authority. These centres are then placed under the discrete and indirect surveillance of regulatory authorities in order to normalize, stability, and optimize activities, identities and power relations.

Week 24 of HDR Project: China Beach
August 23, 2011 3 Comments
Hello Internet! Sorry I've been MIA for a bit. Things were pretty hectic on my side. Recording, lots of running around, and my computer decided to die on me. So now I've got a new hard drive and more memory! Here's hoping it'll last for a looooong time.
Yes, I realized I'm a week behind on my HDR project, so I'm going to try and catch up soon. Anyways, last Saturday I drove my friend Jared and his friend to the trailhead of the West Coast Trail (Super jealous!!!!). After dropping them off, I had to drop by China Beach on the way back. I knew it was going to be a quick visit because I had to pick up some stuff at Long & McQuade before it closed and then do a recording job (which is when my computer decided to not boot up, booo!). But it's always great to just hang out at a beach for a bit and just breathe for a bit. I've forgotten how awesome this beach was because I usually hike out to Mystic Beach… But man, did this beach ever get popular! Anyways, here's the pics!
This is the trail that leads up to the beach
Well, there you have it… Hopefully I'll have some time to take another pic for this week! Keep posted!

The first regular flight into Finland from a Chinese carrier will commence from 10-Jan-2018 will be operated by an A330-200. The Finnish airport operator, has invested heavily in serving Chinese passengers and improving the customer experience at Helsinki Airport. "Having the first Chinese airline in Finland supports our goal to develop Helsinki Airport as an important air traffic hub between Europe and Asia", he said. Helsinki is already linked to Beijing, Shanghai, Xi'an, Chongqing, Guangzhou, Nanjing and Hong Kong by Finnair.

Don't fear the free market, part 4: Intervention, central banks and planning
We can be so clueless when it comes to what governments are capable of. Never mind that the state has only token incentive to do what its constituents want. Regarding many of their demands, it simply cannot. Citizens want governments that create wealth (or prevent its destruction). How do they think wealth is created? Governments cannot fix the economy, as if it were a motorcycle. They cannot grow the economy, as if it were a garden. An economy is a complex mass of interactions that no one person, organisation or clique could oversee with any dependability. Attempts to intervene into the economy by a few technocrats is to presume they somehow know what is right (and will actually do what is right) better than the people peforming all those interactions.
Commentators who are slightly more realistic call governments "stewards" of the economy. When they praise the stewards of the economy, they usually mean that the government's policies have not wrecked the economy, or at least that their most deleterious effects have no yet struck enough people to give the press an obvious candidate for blame. Let us first examine inflation.
John Maynard Keynes once said "[t]he best way to destroy the capitalist system is to debauch the currency. By a continuing process of inflation, government can confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an important part of the wealth of their citizens." Since central banks have positioned themselves as the saviours of the economy, inflation has eaten away at savings with painful results.
Inflation is caused chiefly by an increase in the money supply. As the supply of money increases, demand for it falls and more money is needed to buy fewer goods. Central banks increase the money supply. Inflation is not automatic, nor is it inevitable. It is a response to a realisation that there is more money in circulation. So prices rise over time. But the people who get the money when it is first circulated will be able to spend or invest it before it trickles down and lowers the cost of money overall. In the US, because of the Federal Reserve system, the people who get the money first when the central bank prints more of it are bankers, those banks that make up the Fed. The Fed creates money but not value, which is the true measure of economic growth. Since its inception in 1913, the Federal Reserve's inflationary policy has left the US dollar at 2 cents of its previous value. (http://mises.org/daily/5269/The-Great-Myth-of-the-Inflation-Cure) And yet, its apologists claim that the Fed fights inflation. Printing money is always done in the name of "the greater good", that statist chimera, but really it benefits the banks who are the first recipients of the money before prices begin to rise and catch up to the money supply. When the state prints money, bankers win, and everyone else loses. (Read Murray Rothbard's The Case against the Fed for a fuller explanation.)
Others say that inflation is good policy because if the value of people's money is decreasing, they have an incentive to spend, which keeps the economy growing. Deflation can be a huge problem (though it is not necessarily) but a constant money supply means the value doesn't change (or at least would probably change only very gradually). That makes it easier for everyone to know what to expect. They can allocate their resources accordingly. Central banks cannot simply control inflation, saying that it will be exactly 2%. It might get out of control, and it sometimes does. A little government intervention goes a long way–almost always in the wrong direction. How could anyone advocate consumption over savings in these days of unsustainable retirement funds? People will need to learn how to save again if they want their standards of living to rise; but saving is meaningless if inflation will consume your nest egg. But the best argument against inflation is that the government has no wisdom or right to reduce the value of your savings or tell you what to do with your money and when.
Governments also like to plan. Many statists who consider the Soviet Union a foolish project that was bound to fail nonetheless advocate some form of economic planning. Economist James K. Galbraith wrote in Harper's a few years ago that the government needs once again to plan. "What the government needs most today is to regain an independent capacity to think. The government needs a way to imagine the future that is not dominated by lobbies or even by Congress so long as Congress is dominated by lobbies. Planning is a process: thinking, coordination, action. What is the long-term national interest? What specific targets must be met? What is the best way to do it, and who plays what role?" This argument contains several questionable premises. First, it makes the old assumption that government information and wisdom is superior to that of people on the ground, you know, the ones actually doing the work. But the performance of state-run businesses and strict regulations before the 1980s was a joke compared to that of the private sector after privatisation and deregulation. Prices fell, innovations rose, and the taxpayer was no longer on the hook for failed government corporations. We can only imagine how people's potential would be liberated in a free market.
Second, governments have no capacity to escape the clutches of lobbies. Not only do they provide the money politicians need to get elected, and are thus heavily rewarded after the election, but many lobbyists become politicians and vice versa. Lobbies are not just in bed with the government; they are the government. That means that any appearance of detachment from lobbies will be an illusion, until a revolution occurs.
Third, we need to get beyond this thinking about "the national interest". There is no national interest, because every nation is made up of people who disagree about the right policies, who will all be affected differently by them. All policies produce winners and losers, with special interests taking home most of the prizes. We do not need nations, or national economies, or national governments. These things are inventions that only benefit those who exploit nationalism for their own gain. All people have self interest, which could easily be at odds with national interest, that they are not allowed to pursue if their money and labour is going toward the national interest. The national interest is in fact a codeword for the national government's interest, which could easily be at odds with that of the people themselves. The people might want to spend their money on a wide array of electronic devices, the treatment of a variety of diseases, and their startup businesses. What if the government says we should be spending it on desktop PCs, AIDS and state-run monopolies? It will take away people's money to pay for those things, then take away their freedom to get what they really want. If you don't like the plan, you still have to follow and pay for it. How could that be right?
Planning is fine on a low level. We each have specific knowledge that we can use to make our lives richer. A free market permits prices to emerge from the sum of people's localised knowledge. Government does not have that knowledge, so it cannot take personal situations into account when planning. Planning thus sacrifices the individual on the altar of "progress" or "the public good". Many small plans work, and one big one does not. Trying to steer markets would only work if those on the bottom were not individuals with individual ideas and plans for their own lives. It would also be necessary to predict changes. That was hard enough during the Great Depression; now the pace of change and the number of black swans out there is unprecedented.
Families, kibbutzes and monasteries live according to "from him according to his abilities to each according to her needs". Many cooperatives do so to a lesser extent as well. Planning can work when it is done voluntarily. Forced equality, or coercive communism, like in the USSR, does not work. It is not the communal nature of things that fails but the coercive side. And all government is coercive.
Finally, government "investment", or deficit spending, is meant to kickstart a lethargic economy. Does it really work that way? Keynesians seem to believe that whatever enormous spending the government undertakes is investment, which is superior to consumption, at least if done strategically. But if the people have their own money, they can consume and invest, and consumption itself is buying from people who invest. Why is government investment better than private investment? Government spending is so terribly inefficient that I am surprised there are any Keynesians left in the world. One reason it is so inefficient is moral hazard: I don't care what happens to money that isn't mine. Private investors, on the other hand, are scrupulously careful with their money because it is theirs.
Paul Krugman is an interesting example of such thinking. I tend to agree with his analysis of the problems he discusses, but do not understand his prescriptions. They seem naïve, as if he is not listening to himself. For instance, when he argued in May that foolish and self-interested elites caused the economic problems we have with us now, he seems to believe that we need better elites on the ballot paper. How would that help? The new elites would have the same incentives and pressure groups because they would occupy the same seats. What we need is not new elites, or more people voting for them (I do not understand what difference that would make), but a complete overhaul of the system. If no one has coercive power over the entire economy, there will be no one to wreak havoc on it, only people working in their own spheres of influence, who generally help economies grow by acting in their self interest.
One problem with modern economies is that the people are so used to government intervention, to calling for help every time things go downhill, which of course can mean painful losses of jobs, savings, houses, and so on, they will call on the government to save them. The government persuades them that it is the economy itself that needs saving, which might mean bailing out banks and automakers; they know nothing about economics and take the bait. But government intervention into large, modern economies tends to enrich the already-rich by paying off special interest groups, and future generations are saddled with ever-more debt. When the time comes to wean the people off government life support, such as in economies experiencing hyperinflation or post-communist states, the most effective method is "shock therapy", the forcing of discipline on a government so that it cannot borrow or print more money. But people are impatient, and the immediate effects of shock therapy are painful. Such is the way, too, when someone living beyond his means finds out he cannot pay his credit cards.
If Keynesians had their way, the government would spend and spend until it created the next bubble, because "in the long term we are all dead". Unfortunately, there is no logic in this statement, as our children and their children will either benefit from our wisdom or pay for our mistakes. Bubbles have much to do with government manipulation of interest rates and printing money, and the boom bust cycle is nearly always exacerbated by government intervention.
What are some of these "public goods" that we need central planning and massive investment for? Do you think universities and libraries could not exist without government? Tell that to Andrew Carnegie, a private industrialist who, after single-handedly reducing the price of steel by nearly 90%, donated millions of dollars of his own money to universities and libraries. Tell it to John D. Rockefeller who, after reducing the price of heating oil by nearly 90%, established colleges in the American South for freed slaves, and donated money for public health, science and the arts. James J. Hill and Cornelius Vanderbilt not only built railroads all over the US but reduced fares considerably, and Henry Ford reduced the price of automobiles enormously. (These people all contributed to a period of deflationary expansion, which some uneducated anticapitalists will tell you is impossible.) These and many more such men are known today as the robber barons, while people who take your money without asking are called democratically-elected leaders. Look up the philanthropy of Bill Gates, Warren Buffett and the Waltons, too, and then tell me they are bad people.
But even so, why is it inconceivable that we should pay market prices for universities and libraries? We do for a lot of other government services, like recreational facilities, which by the way can and do operate for profit too. I mean, don't people understand that, if you get back the money in taxes you used to pay for these things, you can pay for them? And at least then we would have the choice. And sure, we are not completely rational actors, but free markets tend to provide us with enough choices that prices go down and quality goes up. If it is true of food, clothing, housing and other essentials, why is it inconceivable for health care, education and security?
We do not need government intervention into the economy. Freeing markets entirely of the encumbrances of laws designed either to help the poor or benefit interest groups will free the people's creative energies and their potential in ways we can only begin to imagine.

America operates under elite-serving constructs and institutions (academia, courts, media). Issues (deficit, economy, health care, etc.) and personalities (Obama, Palin, etc.) play within elite-serving constructs and institutions. Americans and America lose.
On this planet only substance works over time. The one and only solution to America's problems is find out what substance is, get on substance, and stay on substance.
In elite-operated America substance (nature's political organization) is the great unknown. Nature's political organization is no different from engineering principles; they both come from immutable realities and play out according to immutable realities. Adults understand through observing and living—the same way they understand engineering principles. Nature's political organization (governance) is explained through fact situations that confront Americans and Americans can readily understand at http://www.frankcorey.com. The vehicle is real estate zoning in a suburb outside of Chicago. Governance Forever More!

Do not alter your general social routines. If you feel depressed, you might feel like you do not want to do some things. It is still crucial to do them, though. Maintain your normal daily activities. When you neglect what you should normally be doing, you can sometimes get discouraged and more depressed.
Look for support where you can get it. It's really helpful to find others who have successfully beaten depression so that you can get advice and knowledge that you can use for your own struggles.
Eliminate the words "depression" and "depressive" from your vocabulary. These words are very real, but they have many negative connotations attached and can worsen any feelings of hopelessness. The next time you begin to feel blue, look at it like a temporary mood instead. You will find that focusing on improving your mood is easier than approaching the issue as a battle.
Surround yourself with the people you love, which will help your mood and reduce your stress level. Just getting out and doing something can really improve your mood.
You need to seek help from a professional if you are suffering from clinical depression or even routine sadness. You will get an accurate diagnosis from a professional. They can also prescribe medication if needed. You will find out what kind of depression you have.

Fresh Flowers
It may be a cliche, but fresh flowers can help lift you up mentally. The bright colors and the soothing smells of the arrangements have evolved to make all living beings attracted to them. Use this to your advantage; surround yourself with fresh flowers.
It is important to take depression medication seriously by choosing the same time to take them each day. If you stick to a schedule, you will better be able to remember to take your medicine. In addition, when you take medication in the morning, you will be able to perform your daily activities.
Beating depression can be hard work. One thing that will help is to be thankful for what you have. When you are depressed, it is not easy to feel gratitude, but remembering the good things in life can help negativity fade away. It will help you cope much more effectively.

While the victim's identity couldn't be independently verified, BJP President Amit Shah posted a tweet claiming that the victim's name was "Trilochan Mahato," and that he was a BJP karyakarta.In his tweets, Shah said the life of young BJP worker, Trilochan Mahato, was "taken under the state's patronage" because his ideology was different from that of "state-sponsored goons".The 18-year-old's body was allegedly found with a note that read, "Associating with the BJP from the age of 18 is the reason for your death. I wanted to do this (kill you) since the elections, but I failed. Today, your life ends."The youth had gone to a place barely three km from his village last evening and did not return home. He had called up his brother in the night and said that he was kidnapped and urged to be rescued, he said."We were informed by his family (about it) but despite searches throughout the night we could not spot him," a senior district police officer said.Shah, however, alleged that the Trinamool Congress government in West Bengal was behind the death, stating that the TMC had "surpassed the violent legacy of the communist rule," as he lamented the death of the suspected BJP worker.The West Bengal BJP's state unit also tweeted about the 18-year-old's death, stating that "West Bengal is converted into cremation ground"BJP general secretary Kailash Vijayvargiya claimed that 18 party workers have been killed in the state and alleged that it was at the behest of the state government.The party's national secretary Rahul Sinha told reporters in Kolkata that the youth was associated with the party and asked, "Is it democracy where a young man is being killed just because he was associated with the BJP?"Training his gun at the TMC, he said BJP cadre are being attacked and killed as the saffron party fared well in Purulia in the recent panchayat election in the state."The TMC wants to eliminate all signs of opposition from the areas where BJP has won (in the rural poll)", Sinha said.TMC Denies AllegationsThe Trinamool Congress termed the allegations as baseless and concocted."The allegations against TMC are completely baseless," a senior district TMC leader said.In Purulia, the TMC and the BJP had a close fight in the gram panchayats winning 839 and 645 seats respectively. Out of the 38 Zilla Parishad seats, TMC had won 26 seats and BJP nine seats. We'll get through this!

Starring Jodie Foster & Kate Winslet, Directed by Roman Polanski
Based on the acclaimed play 'God of Carnage' by Yasmina Reza, following a playground scuffle between their 11-year old children, the parents of the "victim" have invited the parents of the "bully" to their apartment to sort it out. Cordial banter gradually develops a razor-sharp edge as all four of the well-heeled American parents reveal their laughable contradictions and grotesque prejudices.
I didn't know quite what to expect after the years of controversy surrounding Roman Polanski's latest film (not to mention his personal life), but I needn't have worried. He's lost none of his worthy acclaim and this film is stunning. Short, yes, but brilliant performances from everyone, great direction and searing embarrassment and cutting humour make this a must see film.
Verdict: Watch this little puppy! Blinding on all levels. *****

Advocate Today, Ethiopia: 5-Year Old, "Lillyana"
We have been advocating for "Lillyana" for a while and wanted to share this sweet update on her from a recent Storyteller mission team member:
"What a pleasure it was to spend time with God's precious Lilyana in Ethiopia. She is beautiful and her smile is contagious. I had the opportunity to feed her and carry her outside. She loved being outside and looking around at all of the colors and listening to the sounds of other children and animals. She loves music and follows the sounds and wiggles her body in response. She also coos when she is happy. We had the privilege to feed her her lunch while we were there and she was so content getting her tummy full. We were rewarded with a beautiful smile which was just wonderful. Loud noises seem to startle her for just a moment bu then she is back to being her bubbly self. She is so full of life and looking into her eyes, you can see what a precious and sweet girl she is."
Will you share her story?
Though "Lillyana" has a seizure disorder, her seizures have been well controlled on medication for several years. Its is also noted that she has Spastic Quadriparesis though she does have some movement of her limbs.
Any family who would like more information about "Lillyana" and/or how to begin the process to adopt her into your family should contact our Ethiopia staff at email@example.com or call 800-429-3369. We would love to share more!

|St. Bernard
|Basic info
|Item number
The St. Bernard is a Webkinz was released in May 2005. It's retired, wasn't Pet of the Month and has a Lil'Kinz version. Its special food is a Bacon Bone and special item is a Ski Lodge Fireplace. The St. Bernard was retired at Aug. 18, 2007, but the Lil'Kinz is still available.
The St. Bernard is more hairy on the back than on the front like many other Webkinz pets.
Faithful to a fault, the St. Bernard would brave snow blizzards and rainstorms to be by your side. That is unless there's a Bacon Bone anywhere nearby - because that's its all-time favorite food! Regardless of who or what this pooch is braving the elements for, they make an all-time favorite pet.
- The St. Bernard has many characters named after it, including Fluffington and Goober (scientist).
- The St. Bernard is the only Webkinz pet to have "puffy" eye-brows above its eyes. They are black.
- St. Bernards appear in three Arcade games, Goober's Atomicolicious, Goober's Lab and Goober's Atomic Adventure. All of them feature Goober.

As a longtime firearms licensee in the commonwealth of Massachusetts, I am moved to comment on the debate about the Second Amendment which has been rightly stimulated in the media by the recent shootings in Arizona.
As a longtime firearms licensee in the commonwealth of Massachusetts, I am moved to comment on the debate about the Second Amendment which has been rightly stimulated in the media by the recent shootings in Arizona.
The Second Amendment reads, "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed."
The amendment provides for the security of a sovereign state in its ability to protect itself through the application of military force by citizen soldiers. The amendment does not reference hunting, target shooting or personal self-defense.
The right to keep and bear arms is afforded to the people for the purpose of defense of their sovereign state. In this sense, fast forwarded from 1776 to 2011, it could be reasonable to consider the National Guard as the "well regulated Militia." The Guard meets the criteria for a "well regulated Militia" of citizen soldiers unconscripted by the state who report to the governor and not to the president of the United States, unless released by the governor to do so in time of war.
The Supreme Court has determined that Second Amendment rights are afforded to individuals. However, as soon as we license something it stops being a right and becomes a privilege. Driving a car is not a right. Neither is carrying a firearm (at least in Massachusetts). It is a privilege. A right is a franchise by the government given to its people without license. Every right (and privilege) bears with it responsibility.
In 2011, individual regulation of firearms is a matter of public health and safety. This is as true for firearms as it is for other dangerous mechanisms such as automobiles. No one would suggest that individuals should drive automobiles untrained and unregulated. That would pose a risk to the public safety. Similarly, gun ownership outside of service in the "well regulated Militia" might be equally so considered.
Those who maintain gun ownership for individual purposes outside of military defense of the state require some form of screening and training which is designed to protect the public safety by reducing the potential for harm. What the extent of such screens and training should be are matters beyond the scope of this article. The fact that such should exist relevant to forms of firearms licenser is reasonable in a large non-agrarian society far unlike the society in which Jefferson, Madison, and Washington lived.
When it comes to dangerous weapons, any urban-centered society which relies on such for its corporate defense rather than its citizens' sustenance is faced with the need for protection of the public. We have found ways to effectively regulate dangerous weapons called motor vehicles. Surely we can find ways to protect the public in the use of firearms while still preserving the intent of the Second Amendment. That amendment was formed for our mutual protection, not to afford us opportunities to harm each other.

flash player works in google chrome but not ie9. adobe recommends to uninstall/reinstall flash player. but flash player is not in the control panel add/remove programs. doing a search yields no results. where would the file(s) be? why isn't it shown as a program in the the control panel? it must still be on the computer if google chrome can still show youtube videos. signed dazed and confused
Google chrome may be more like Firefox and treats flash player as an add-on to the browser rather than as an installed program that is integrated with your browser like with Internet Explorer. If it is, then just download it while in Internet Explorer to get the right version and install it. You can look in your add-ons options in chrome and you will probably see it there, but you will need a different version for each browser type you use.
You have to be a little bit crazy to keep you from going insane.
Thanks for your comments. I was not accurate in my post. You are correct in that Flash is embedded in google chrome and does not uninstall when using adobes uninstall flash program. I didn't realize that when I posted my problem. So that is why I can't find the adobe flash file after removing it (beause it's not there!).
So the problem I have is that with ie8 or ie9 I cannot watch videos at youtube (or any other websites). I have seen various solutions on the web to uninstall/install the latest flash program. I have done that several times with no luck (the flash program is in the the correct location when I install it ( C:\WINDOWS\systemWoW64\Macromed folder). I have seen various solutions to disable Mcafee, check firewall settings etc. I have tried some of these things also with no luck. I personally don't believe McAfee or the firewall settings is the problem since flash works in google chrome. I have also ensured that I am using the 32 bit internet explorer.
I think this all could be a registry problem. I have ran the Malware Anti-Malware program.
The thing I really don't understand is that in the Internet Explorer manage add- ons section, the flash program isn't there at all (so that I could enable it!). Like I said the flash program is in the C:\WINDOWS\systemWoW64\Macromed folder. Why wouldn't it be in the Manage add-ons section?
Internet Explorer does not use it as an add-on the same way that Chrome and Firefox does, it is an associated program that is installed on your system. If the Flash is in the '64' folder, then it is a version for the 64bit version of internet explorer and the 64bit version is known to have problems with many websites, especially those having inbedded video. Definitely use the 32bit version of internet explorer and download the flash player and install it while in the 32bit version of Internet Explorer 8 (I have not tried IE9 yet) and see if that helps. Also try Firefox and get flash player for that through add-ons and see how that works for you. Maybe SP1 will help, many have upgraded, many are waiting a few weeks first (I installed on 2 computers without problems but had a failed install on a third (older install of W7) but no adverse problems, even on that one)
You have to be a little bit crazy to keep you from going insane.
Thank you for taking the time to reply. I am using the 32 bit Internet explorer. I made sure of that when I was troubleshooting my problem before I did my first post (after reading about it on the internet at various places). Windows 7 is my 64 bit operating system. So that is why the flash program resides in the '64' folder. Or am I wrong? I have read up on this and that is the way I understand it.
I previously tried IE8 and had the same problem. So I upgraded to IE9 to see if the problem went away. I do have a browser that works with flash (google chrome) so it's not the end of the world. I just would like to fix this problem if I can (for the wife who prefers Internet Explorer because it has the drop-down list for web addresses).
I still am of the mind that this is a registry problem. I have ran Malware Anti-Malware and maybe will try an other soon. Anyway, thanks again. Looking forward to your possible reply.

Children testify as parents face prison in abuse case
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Some of the children of a California couple convicted of torturing them for years spoke in a packed courtroom Friday for their parents' sentencing, marking the first time they've been heard from publicly since being freed from their filthy home.
The children have the right to address the court to say how they've been impacted by the abuse by their parents, David and Louise Turpin, who are expected to be sentenced to at least 25 years in prison as part of a plea agreement. None of the children were being publicly identified.
One of the Turpins' adult children walked into court already in tears just after the hearing began, holding hands with a prosecutor.
A daughter said, "Life may have been bad but it made me strong. I fought to become the person that I am. I saw my dad change my mom. They almost changed me, but I realized what was happening. ... I'm a fighter, I'm strong and I'm shooting through life like a rocket."
Some of the other children said they still love their parents. One asked for a lighter sentence because "they believed everything they did was to protect us."
Judge Bernard Schwartz said the children were not allowed to be filmed or photographed by assembled members of the media in the court.
The Turpins pleaded guilty in February to torture and other abuse that was uncovered when their 17-year-old daughter jumped out a window and called 911. Authorities say the abuse and neglect was so severe it stunted their children's growth, led to muscle wasting and left two girls unable to bear children.
Most of the 13 children — who ranged in age from 2 to 29 — were severely underweight and hadn't bathed for months.
The desperate cry for help from the 17-year-old came after a lifetime of living in such isolation, the girl didn't know her address, the month of the year or what the word "medication" meant.
But she knew enough to punch the digits 9-1-1 into a barely workable cellphone and then began describing years of horrific abuse to a police dispatcher.
Before the 17-year-old escaped from the home in a middle-class section of the city of Perris, about 60 miles (96 kilometers) southeast of Los Angeles, the Turpins had lived largely out of view.
David Turpin, 57, had been an engineer for Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman. Louise Turpin, 50, was listed as a housewife in a 2011 bankruptcy filing.
Their home was neatly kept and neighbors rarely saw the kids outside the home.
When deputies arrived, they were shocked by what they discovered. A 22-year-old son was chained to a bed and two girls had just been set free from their shackles. The house was covered in filth and the stench of human waste was overwhelming.
Deputies testified that the children said they were only allowed to shower once a year. They were mainly kept in their rooms except for meals, which had been reduced from three to one per day, a combination of lunch and dinner. The 17-year-old complained that she could no longer stomach peanut butter sandwiches — they made her gag.
The Turpin offspring weren't allowed to play like normal children. Other than an occasional family trip to Las Vegas or Disneyland, they rarely left the home. They slept during the day and were active a few hours at night.
Although the couple filed paperwork with the state to homeschool their children, learning was limited. The oldest daughter only completed third grade.
"We don't really do school. I haven't finished first grade," the 17-year-old said, according to Deputy Manuel Campos.
The children said they were beaten, caged and shackled to beds if they didn't obey their parents.
Investigators found that the toddler had not been abused, but all of the children were hospitalized after they were discovered.
The seven adult children were living together and attending school in February when their parents pleaded guilty. Attorney Jack Osborn, who represents them, declined to comment on them Thursday.
It's not clear if any children will attend the sentencing, but they will be offered a chance to speak or can offer written statements to be read in court.
Defense attorneys would not say if their clients will address the court.
The couple pleaded guilty to 14 criminal charges. Prosecutors said the deal would likely keep them in prison for the rest of their lives and spare the children from testifying.
"The defendants ruined lives, so I think it's just and fair that the sentence be equivalent to first-degree murder," District Attorney Mike Hestrin said at the time of the plea.
