SOURCE: Cytta Corp.
December 16, 2013 09:30 ET
LAS VEGAS, NV--(Marketwired - Dec 16, 2013) - Cytta Corp.'s (OTCQB: CYCA) CEO, Gary Campbell is pleased to share the following open letter to all shareholders. The letter provides an update on Cytta Corp. business operations and partnership activities in conjunction with future plans for making the Company a success in the last month of 2013, in 2014 and beyond.
Dear Cytta Corp. Shareholders and Supporters;
Let me take this opportunity to share with you the tremendous progress of Cytta this past year and the exciting enhancements to Cytta Connect our open source Mobile data distribution Platform. We have unlocked greater capabilities, created easier connectivity and generated global partnerships that are yielding a uniquely scalable platform with no competitor in sight!
The mobile healthcare market has evolved remarkably in the past two years, consistent with our strategic plan. Experience now shows the Cytta Connect platform as the only open data transmission platform with special unlocked benefits giving the consumer, industry and government unprecedented access to technological innovation through our smarter smartphones.
Our targeted healthcare solution is Cytta's signature development and affords government, healthcare providers, caregivers and patients' full control and access to their remotely generated health and wellness data. This system of unlocked connectivity will soon expand beyond our earthly cellular and WIFI mobile capability to include Satellite capability everywhere.
You will recall our President, Erik Stephansen, describing Cytta's technological capabilities as "Shooting for the Stars and delivering the Moon" to represent Cytta's can-do attitude. Truly, our initial agreement with Satellite partner, Home2Phone, LLC, an ORBCOMM (orbcomm.com) domestic and international partner, pairs Cytta's proprietary smartphone distribution platform with very sophisticated technologies from Space!
In addition, we are leading the pack to lower costs and create instant global access by conjoining a superior and disruptive data compression technology for a full, turnkey solution. Our new partner, CIFF Business Enterprises, is allowing Cytta to implement this brilliant compression technology and we are already exploring markets beyond healthcare for this technology.
Cytta's unlocked and open source, global data distribution network creates a first-of-its-kind solution that we will bring to the healthcare market in 2014, and expand it into other industry applications beyond 2014. We are also engaged in discussions with interested parties from Mining, Oil & Gas, and Logistics companies regarding pilot programs.
Cytta enjoyed a lot of new interest and attention from Government, Academia and the Health Industry during 2013. As a result, we gained support from new Advisors eager to help contribute to our programs. To that end, we are very pleased to congratulate William E. Casselman, II, J.D., on joining the Board of Advisors of the Company as Chairman. Mr. Casselman's leadership in International Trade, Law and Government is renowned. For Cytta, he is managing and expanding our Board of Advisors by attracting some of the brightest and relevant minds available today. We would also like to specifically acknowledge our Advisors Mr. Van Hipp Jr. J.D. (americandefense.net), Mr. Zvi Huber B.Sc., M.Sc. (home2phone.net), and Mr. Sunil K. Pai, CPA, CFA (proforza.net) for their personal efforts this year on Cytta's behalf. Please take a look at our updated website for a list of these exceptional people and their backgrounds. We are very proud that so many have joined together to pursue a common goal.
Beyond the several new agreements and partnerships that give Cytta its market advantage, we are also excited to recognize another year of successful integration by our very limited but highly capable technical team. They initiated and developed a specific consumer strategy and product suite that complements our Cytta Connect enterprise solution. Together, these two solutions capture all of today's healthcare requirements and they set the stage for Cytta's market dominance as our industry matures.
Investor Relations
And last but definitely not least, the Company is very excited that Nevada based, Constellation Asset Advisors, Inc. (constellationaa.com) has agreed to become Cytta's investor relations firm.
Constellation Asset Advisors, Inc. (CAA) is a multi-faceted equity markets consulting firm. The senior principals of CAA have been engaged in private equity since 1985 and together have over 50 years of experience in strategic planning and investor communications. CAA provides advisory services to dynamic small and mid-sized companies and has worked with clients in the energy, specialty chemicals, high-technology and health care sectors.
CAA seeks to bring its services and expertise to publicly traded entities as well as provide advisory services on acquisition and merger management, capital investment, turnarounds and a myriad of other business transactions. CAA brings further value by using its multi-market experience and top-level strategic alliances to bring together unique, undervalued assets with groups that can most efficiently capitalize on them. CAA focuses on established, long term partnerships and business arrangements with the best companies and partners in their respective markets.
In Summary
The Cytta Connect platform is a market ready solution for today's healthcare needs and we are positioning our systems to provide the healthcare industry a mechanism for cost, savings, patient outreach, and proactive care, with an exceptional new partner ready to help tell our story. Truly, our pilot studies confirm the financial and patient drivers for healthcare insurance providers (IPs) and hospitals to adopt our products and services. But two major forces are converging beyond those: (1) the need for IPs & hospitals to market to their patients, potential patients and to enlist caregivers in their region and (2) the transition to wellness and well care in a proactive, patient-centered healthcare system where patients and their employers take more responsibility in coordinating and directing their health and care.
Cytta's immediate results and longer-term strategy map are focused on these market drivers that will evolve from forces such as mobile connectivity to a transformed medical model. Patients, payers and employer groups will drive healthcare providers to change their reactive delivery model to a proactive, technology-enhanced solution. Cytta envisions its total array of customers to include these patients, health insurers, employer groups, and Government in transformative collaboration for optimal health and wellness, as well as better health care in America and, ultimately, internationally.
For us, the way forward for Cytta is clear. We are continuing to develop our unique data transmission platform that creates healthier outcomes and to demonstrate corporate value in intellectual property, collaborative partnerships, as well as fundamentals, revenue and profit. We are also continuing to seek channel distribution partners and options to augment our sales and marketing programs. And, we are exploring opportunities to quickly enter the rapidly emerging personalized health market by opening our platform to products that are based on technologies as compelling as our own. We continue to strive to build a sustainable emerging growth company that provides lasting value to our customers and to you, our shareholders.
Thank you for your ongoing support and we look forward to a successful New Year.

Hello People,
The weekend is here! What did you do with your election holiday? If you're like me, you're in bed (mentally) preparing to go out. If it's your birthday, Happy Birthday! If you're getting married, Happy Married Life! If you're just being you and celebrating how special you are, Happy Being You Day!
Oftentimes, I get enquiries about where I "shop online" and to be honest, I've cut down on my shopping in the past few months. However, there are some stores that break through my Alaroro barrier once in a while (read: almost everyday) and it takes strength to not buy from these stores.
Their things are quality and affordable! How can I say no? Well, here's my current list of affordable and alaroro friendly Instagram stores:
Hey You,
How's it going?
You know how it's getting closer to pay day and your mind starts wandering between Money Plans (a.k.a Budgets), Responsibilities and Wishlists? Yeah. Yeah. Well, I WANT WHAT I WANT!
Hallllooooo, fambam!
So you want to give gifts, but you're
broke or not that buoyant or rich In Jesus Name!
*sigh* Did anyone imagine that this year would get this bad? Well, when men say there's a casting down, we will say there's a lifting up! Right? Right???
Anyway, I believe gift giving is an art and everyone has the opportunity to be an artist. There is nothing more horrible than giving a thoughtless gift. Case in point: Office Secret Santa. Maaaan. What is the worst office Secret Santa gift you have ever seen/received?
Anyway, this is me helping you(r wallet) this Christmas…
Hey fambam!
TGIF takes a wonderful twist tomorrow, as the second best Friday of the year is barely 3 hours away. Happy Thanksgiving to my American readers! I say a big thank you on your behalf. Say a thank you prayer on behalf of the blog too.
So, here's the scoop on the Nigerian Brands having major sales tomorrow. The more I find, the more I update with! Also, share with us in the comments section – the abscence of a Dom account will not stop the shopaholics from battling tomorrow!
The Alaroro's Guide to shopping: Write your list and obey it with your life. If you pay 50% less for something you don't need, you just lost that money to the world. Be sad. 😒😒😒
Make sure you compare prices! I can't stress this enough.
- Sizelle Stores: Look, I really hope the site comes back up because you can't afford to miss this sale. I got a big tub of Eco Styler Gel for N840! UNfreakingbelievable!
- A Woman's Wants – This online fashion store has promised a huge discount tomorrow. You can also visit their store – it's on Murtala Mohammed Way (after MRS or TOTAL)
- YAKATA – As the name implies, Konga Online Shopping Mall promises that prices will fall Yakata tomorrow. Do you believe it?
- JUMIA Black Friday -Jumia isn't left behind either. More promises, but my experiences haven't been all so fabulous. So, try? They promised Free Delivery too.
- DealDey – My most successful Black Friday experiences have been on DealDey. I mean, what can a site that offers discounted deals give? HEAVIER DISCOUNTS!
- A little Birdie said that Shop Maju may be giving up to 80% off their stock tomorrow. *squeals* Birthday dinner dress? Here. I. Come!
- Hair and Beauty? Natural Hair and Beauty to be precise? Hairfilliation is giving 20% off and an Instagram Flash Sale tomorrow!
- Shoes and Bags at affordable prices? Shoepify is your place.
- Debra's Grace is giving a discount – 5% off 😫 However, it comes with Free Shipping, so yeah! Get in!
- Case Notes, owned by one of our faces, is letting you pre order dope cases at N2500. Get in!
- Hesey Designs is giving up to 30% off! Get it.
- Haute Signatures is giving up to 80% off! Get IN! Click the image below.
So, that's it for now… Share more if you have.
Let's go a-shopping!
Hello People,
We always say things like: "I don't have enough clothes. No, really. I don't". The question I'll ask you is this: How many clothing items do you own? Do you know? So, how do you know that you don't have enough clothes?
Now, we know that you do not know. What should you do?
First, we redefine your style. So, let's say the last time you went on a major clothing haul, you were in Uni and had no need for corporate wear (except, you went to CU, hi!).
What defines you now? Where do you spend most of your time? Do you have clothes to suit that activity? Case: You work 12 hours a day in a corporate environment, 6 days a week and you have more aso-ebi than work wear. Problem? Yes!
What next? Let's get to work on your closet!
- Pick a day. Preferably a work-free, commitment-free day. For a lot of us, this is not Saturday. I pick Sunday though. I'm back from church at 8:30am, so I have the time!
- Arm yourself! A Notebook. Pen. Music. Let's get to work.
- Bring out ALL your clothes – yes, even the ones in the laundry basket.
- Categorise your clothes! Tops, Bottoms, Accessories (Lingerie, Jewelry, Bags fall here) and Shoes. Yes guys, you can do this too!
- Start counting. Fill in each item under its respective category and you can tag with colour or style. For example, you can have under tops. 1 Ankara Halter Neck, 1 Black shirt.
- Would you buy any of your clothes now? If yes, how much? If you buy it, do you have something to pair it with? Answer all these questions for each item!
What's next? Do the needful:
- Give away or Keep. Amend/Adjust items that still suit your style and are useful for your current phase in life, but give away everything that does not suit you or you will not wear! Keep the absolute necessities. For the items that are definite NOs, find something useful to do with them! P.S ChristmasOnTheStreetZ is coming soon, so feel free to donate clothes!
- Hang your clothes. Lesson Learned. Hanging helps. It is easier to remember what you have when your clothes are hung. Folded clothes/clothes in boxes are very very easy to forget.
- You need as many basics or staples as you can afford. You need a black pencil skirt much more than you need that Sky Blue Bodycon Zip hip-serving Skirt. The Grey pumps are more important than the yellow ones right now. These basics give you room to create as many looks and styles as possible. Why? They go with everything. I'm not asking you to go all Shirley-esque with that sexy minimalist style, especially if that's not your style. Just make sure you know how to do 1+1 with your style, before you enter Almighty Formula.
- Do this regularly. It guides your spending habits and puts your whole life in order.
This Alaroro Shopaholic life ehn…
Half Hugs, Air Kisses and Discounts,
Read: The Thanksgiving Post
| on Entreneurship: Spotlight on my girl Dems!
| on Reading: Review of the Book: The Smart Money Woman
| on Beauty: Review of this mud mask I am loving.
Hello Everyone!
Guess who's been shopping? Well, not really. Anything I buy now must pertain to the Wedding or it is deemed irrelevant. Well lucky for me, I bought this the week before the question was asked. One month already? Well, we are already four years into forever… *huge grin*
What kind of Shopaholic would I be if I don't share my most recent haul with you?
Ho Ho Ho! Merrrrrrry Christmas! Not yet, but it is 3 months and 10 days to Christmas day! The best part of this season is sharing love and giving to others, because we received the best gift ever. See John 3:16 for further explanation. *huge grin*
Is it too early to start preparing for the holidays? No! In fact, it is best to prepare ahead. Money is expensive these days. Yes, I said that! So, to still be the loving giver that you are, you need to plan accordingly. To help you do this, I've got 5 tips and you know what we need: A notebook and a pen! Let's get started:
- List all recipients: Write a list of all your loved ones and the special people in your life. Family, Friends and don't forget your Colleagues – especially the ones that have been helpful to your career this year. I know some of us wish we were Santa Claus, but even Santa is selective in giving gifts: Remember, the naughty or nice clause?
- Write 3 gift ideas per person: Tag each person with possible gift ideas i.e. If you had all the money in the world, what would you give this person. I'd like to buy my Mama a Lexus, but since that it's not possible yet, what can I give her? It is still early, so you can ask questions like: what do you want for Christmas? Ask what they need to.
- Money Plan: After tagging gifts, prepare a budget. How much will this cost me (lowest possible cost and highest possible cost)? Yes, this is going to guide you and your actions. Giving gifts is great, but you still have to eat, live and save. Total it up and weigh it against your regular expenses, will you be able to afford it? If not, can you start saving towards giving? How much do you have to set aside every month to give good gifts this year?
- Start saving up: Yes, don't waste any time. Readjust your budget to suit this plan and make sure you have not overdone it. You've got September, October, November and December (pay-day comes early in December abi?). Adjust your current Money Plan to suit your Christmas giving plan. For example: To give all the gifts she intends to, Adesuwa needs a total of N60,000. If she starts now, she has 4 months to save up without killing her current living expenses. This means she needs to find where to cut out at least N15,000 every month from her current money plan. This is at least 10% of her income every month for each of those months. Can she do it?
- Start buying the little things: Things like Christmas Cards and/or decor will start getting more expensive as the season draws close. You might one to get on those quickly! Or, you can gift your nice boss this cute tabletop Christmas tree, ahead of the holidays.
Remember the less-privileged: This is very key. Jesus is the reason for the season and he came to give us the greatest gift of all. In this same vein – 2 Corinthians 9:7 Each of you must give what you have decided in your heart, not with regret or under compulsion, since God loves a cheerful giver. Besides, God is able to make every blessing of yours overflow for you, so that in every situation you will always have all you need for any good work. To do this, look out for #ChristmasOnTheStreetZ discussions and follow Ada D Body! You can also start giving today with the AThousand1000 fam!
Over the next couple of weeks, we'll touch on possible gift ideas for all the wonderful people in your life, but for now: Start your list!

1. Tyler and I have both been a bit under the weather and staying at our friend Angela's place. Being 'under the weather' has led to the watching of entirely too much daytime television - specifically makeover shows. We get inspired to rearrange Angela's furniture for her and make things a little more cozy for when she will arrive home from her 'Snoop Dog' concert around 2 in the morning. We buzz about the house pulling accessories and furniture pieces from other rooms and in just under an hour we have completely transformed the living room making it look cozy and 'lived in'. Hopefully the 2am Angela will share our enthusiasm!
2. Tonight we head out to see an apartment at Tower Road and Victoria. Although it's one of the grungiest apartments I've seen (you'd think if you were trying to sublet an apartment you would at least drag a broom haphazardly across the floor in an effort to tidy up the stray brown plant leaves and cigarettes and bottle caps, but apparently that hadn't occured to this guy) I am inspired by a turret full of windows, a wood stove, and a wall of cedar siding which, with a fresh coat of paint on everything else, could actually conspire to make this a bright and 'Wallpapersih' little flat. Bedtime finds me, sketchbook and pencil in hand, coming up with furniture layouts for the prospective apartment (even though we're not even sure it has laundry - all I can think about is that sun-soaked turret).
3. With cold, flus, migraines (the first ever - I have a whole new appreciation for you migraine sufferers!) and general malaise - combined with the particular angst of being in a state of transiton between homes and not yet knowing where we will be living, I have been particularly cranky, yet somehow Tyler is able to see and encourage the good in me. This makes me think of my 'good puppy' revelation way back in the summer when we first got Zelig. We're all really just good puppies on the inside. Thanks Ty.

These Battlefield acupuncture Books are different than the book written by my friend Elie Goldschmidt. Our books are a clinical step-by-step manual on how to do the Battlefield Acupuncture Protocol and successfully incorporate it into your practice. These books are only intended for licensed acupuncturists who can practice acupuncture in their state by law.
Battlefield Acupuncture 3.0
$79.99 plus $15.00 shipping
Here are two pages from the Battlefield Acupuncture 3.0 Book.
We use 100 pound semi-gloss paper. This is a heavy paper that will last for many, many years to come. This book is a clinical manual that shows you how to do the Battlefield Acupuncture Protocol the correct way. We use many clear and colorful pictures that show you an easy step-by-step method to perform the Battlefield Acupuncture Protocol.
Along with each book I have included a Clinical Pearl (Pearls in the advanced book). In the Basic Battlefield Acupuncture Book I have included a DVD of The Best Headache Protocol. You can watch the video on this website under Clinical Pearls. WHAT the DVD has is three large clear pages on where to find the "N" point and the three other points.
Advanced Battlefield Acupuncture
Beyond Battlefield Acupuncture
$79.99 plus $15.00 shipping
Here are two pages directly from the Advanced Battlefield Acupuncture Book.
Just like the basic book we use 100 pound semi-gloss paper. This step-by-step clinical manual will last for many years. You will not find this information in any other book! In the Advanced Battlefield Acupuncture Book we also use large clear and colorful pictures. It is obvious that the patient on page 39 has back pain (look at his right ear). His pain is due to a herniated disk at L2. These techniques and protocols are some of the strongest forms of pain reduction acupuncture you will ever find.
In the Advanced Battlefield Acupuncture Book I have included a CD with Clinical Pearls on the uses and treatment with a Piezo Pen. I have written and published all of these articles; you can find a few videos on Piezo Pen in the Clinical Pearls section on this website.

Lewisham Labour celebrates Black History month in October by participating in Lewisham wide events, including organising a Black History month Celebration event on 29th October. Labour Councillors attended the raising of a Black History Month flag at Lewisham Council's town hall tonight, 19th October, to celebrate the half way point.
Black History Month runs nationally every October, and in Lewisham it is being marked with a series of events that celebrate the culture, history and achievements of black and ethnic minority communities.
Cllr Janet Daby, Cabinet member for Community Safety, said: "Lewisham is a richly diverse borough and I am delighted that this year there are again so many interesting and varied events.
Black History Month's emphasis on celebrating community and culture feels like it has extra significance this year after the EU Referendum when we saw an increase in hate crime incidents reported across London. So this is an important opportunity to re-emphasise our determination to reject hate crime and commitment to treating everyone in our community equally and fairly."
Lewisham Labour BAME have organised an evening celebration, including dinner and quiz, on 29th October at 1 Aislibie Road, more information below.
Other events in Lewisham coming up to mark the month include a screening of Muhammad Ali and Me at The Albany Centre and Theatre in Deptford on Friday (oct21) from 7.30pm and a screening of Pressure Free at Deptford Cinema on Monday (Oct24) from 8pm.

REPOA has released findings from a survey on Citizens' perceptions and attitudes towards taxation, tax enforcement and tax officials.
One of the reasons why people do not want to pay tax includes the poor services they receive from the government. Also according to findings people seem not to trust tax officials.
Tax authorities have a challenge to preserve their integrity—be more forthright with tax payers, clean up ranks of corrupt officials, and enforce taxes justly.
A full presentation made by REPOA is attached below.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):
Q: What do I do during a Tornado Warning or Watch?!
A: Environment Canada has a website for this: http://www.getprepared.gc.ca/cnt/hzd/trnds-drng-eng.aspx – As well, stay tuned to our page and we'll do our best to track every storm in Saskatchewan and let you know as soon as Environment Canada Watches or Warnings are issued for your area.
Q: I read the website about preparing and I am still scared!
A: Please don't be afraid. The more you know about a situation, the better chance you have to be prepared and the less scary it becomes. We'll also do our best to answer your questions and walk you through the severe event until the watches and warnings have ended. =)
Q: What is the difference between a Watch and a Warning?
A: A Watch means there is potential for Severe weather or Tornadoes in the near future. A Warning means TAKE SHELTER NOW as weather moves quickly and by the time you receive the Warning, the storm or Tornado could be in your area and you may only have seconds or minutes to react.
Q: Why does Saskatchewan Tornado Watch post about Severe Thunderstorm Warnings/Watches? I thought this was a page about Tornadoes?
A: Severe Thunderstorms have the ability to produce Tornadoes. Most Tornado Warnings begin as a Severe Thunderstorm Watch, then a Warning, then a Tornado Warning. It is just as important to take shelter during a Severe Thunderstorm Warning as it is during a Tornado Warning. Sometimes a Tornado can touchdown before Environment Canada can issue a Warning in time. Please take any Watches or Warning seriously from Environment Canada. They do not issue them lightly.
Q: Who is Saskatchewan Tornado Watch?
A: Saskatchewan Tornado Watch is made up of several Meteorologists, CANWARN trained storm spotters and highly trained, experienced storm chasers.
Q: Are you a Government organization or part of Environment Canada?
A: We are an independent group of passionate weather enthusiasts that want to help raise awareness about the real potential threat of Tornadoes and severe weather in the Province of Saskatchewan. We are not a division of Environment Canada but we do post many of their Watches and Warnings as they are the authority on the matter. Many times in the past we have spotted a potential Tornado on radar or in the field and have brought this to their attention. In most cases, they issue a Watch or Warning with the information that we or our community of weather enthusiasts have provided them.
Q: How can you forecast so far in advance compared to other weather sources?
A: We don't only use Environment Canada's forecasts, we also use many forecasting tools from the Storm Prediction Center (SPC) in Norman, Oklahoma. The SPC is authority on Tornado forecasting as the US has an average of 1,000 Tornadoes per year. When they issue a potentially severe day reaching into Canada, we have no problem bringing this to your attention ahead of time. A lot of other media and weather agencies seem to wait until the day before or the day of to issue these forecasts to the public due to their own agendas. Not us. We'll let you know if there is any potential for a very severe weather event as many days in advance as possible with the help of the very accurate and proven tools of the SPC. We also compare these forecasts to Environment Canada's and provide you with all the available information at our disposal. This will hopefully give you enough time to adjust your plans so that you're not travelling on a day where there is potential Tornadoes. We hope instead, you'll be prepared to spend a day in the basement playing games or watching movies with your friends and family.
Q: Can I help Saskatchewan Tornado Watch?
A: Yes of course! If you see any threatening weather, please post it on our wall or message us directly! We need everyone in the community to help with severe weather reports as radar can only show us part of the picture. As well, power outages can potentially disable our ability or Environment Canada's ability to issue Watches or Warnings in time. If this is ever the case, Facebook will stand tall and everyone has the ability to use their phones to post on this page. This will definitely help get the message out during a potential Tornado Outbreak when many of us will be without power.
Q: Can I post my photos or videos?
A: Yes! If you record video or take a photo, we encourage you to post it or send it directly to us as it will help us analyze the storm in your area and could potentially shed light on the legitimate danger of the situation.
Q: How do I post a photo?
A: Click on the camera looking button when you post on our page and add the photo from your computer or smart phone.
Q: How do I post a video?
A: Posting a video is done the same way as posting a photo. When you select the camera button, you just choose the video instead of a photo.
Q: I still don't understand how to post a video/photo???
A: Message us directly and we'll gladly walk you through the steps. =)
Q: When I asked "can I help", I meant I am a passionate weather enthusiast who is an experienced storm chaser, CANWARN trained storm spotter or have a degree in Meteorology and I'd like to help track these storms and post about them. Is this possible?
A: We are always on the lookout for passionate admins for Saskatchewan Tornado Watch. Please send us an email at email@example.com telling us about your self and your history in weather and I'm sure we can find a way for you to help us keep the Province of Saskatchewan safe!
Q: Are you on Twitter?
A: Just created @SaskatchTornado – It'll be up and running soon!
Q: Are you on Instagram?
A: Soon! Just about to create an account.
Q: Are you on the 50 other social media sites?
A: We'll get there. For now Facebook is head-quarters. =)
Q: Your question list does not contain my question. Is my question not a frequently asked question? Am I that unique?
A: Yes, you are unique and special. This is a good thing! We are willing to answer any questions you may have so please contact us directly on Facebook or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com
Thank you from all of us here at Saskatchewan Tornado Watch and please share this page with your friends and family! This will help us keep everyone informed and continue to raise awareness about the real potential threat of Tornadoes in Saskatchewan.

Good morning. On behalf of The Sacramento Bee's editorial board, welcome to The Take, your opinion-politics newsletter. Please sign up for it here.
We can't help but think about the heat as the West bakes and the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation releases more water from behind Shasta Dam. That could make farmers less angry about what they call the "government-created dust bowl," but it might steam Sacramento River fish.
Holy takes
The Dalai Lama imparted his wisdom on guns, education and the environment to the California Legislature on Monday, while the U.S. Senate bowed to the almighty NRA and again failed to pass gun control legislation.
Donald Trump and Ben Carson plan to meet with evangelical Christians in a closed-door meeting today. The question: Will they support a candidate who has been married multiple times, boasts about infidelities, praises Planned Parenthood and suggests shunning people based on their religious beliefs?
Earlier in the campaign, Trump insisted he was loyal to his loyalists, especially Corey Lewandowski. That was then. This is now.
Huffington Post reporter Michelle Fields, who accused Lewandowski of assaulting her in March and quit Breitbart News because she didn't feel supported, responded to his firing: "Hey @CLewandowski_ I hear @BreitbartNews is hiring."
Take a number: $2,000
We like Frank Fat's steak and onions a lot, although not $2,000 worth. Even so, there's something quaint about Sen. Ted Gaines' luncheon fundraiser at Fat's today. It's $4,200 for a sponsor and $2,000 for an individual.
More often these days, legislators sweeten fundraisers by holding them at concerts, games and theme parks. Assemblywoman Cristina Garcia hosted donors at Britney Spears and Mariah Carey concerts Friday and Saturday in Las Vegas. It was $4,200 for both shows, $2,500 for one.
Assemblyman Adrin Nazarian is offering a VIP tour of Universal Studios this Friday, at $2,500 for two ducats, or $4,200 for four, plus a hotel. Donors and lobbyists can ingratiate themselves with politicians while using their expense accounts to catch shows or score points with the family by bringing them along.
It's only other people's money.
Our take
Editorial: Prepare for another summer apocalypse, and be careful out there.
Foon Rhee: Will Mike Wiley's golden parachute sink Regional Transit?
Erika D. Smith: Grit over grace, that's #Believeland.
Dan Walters: California cap-and-trade emission auctions could face bleak future.
Sara Radcliffe's Soapbox: Sen. Ed Hernandez's legislation, SB 1010, won't lower drug prices.
Soapbox: Governor, Legislature can't forget about crumbling highways.
Their take
The San Francisco Chronicle: Gov. Jerry Brown shouldn't hesitate to approve a $5 million line item pushed by Sen. Lois Wolk to create a new gun research institute at the University of California. We agree.
The Orange County Register: Sen. John Moorlach is right to warn that California is mortgaging its future. And about that high-speed rail boondoggle, Shafter is a long way from Santa Ana.
David French in The National Review: Evangelicals should not bend their knees to Trump.
The Miami Herald: Venezuela President Nicolás Maduro has dodged and bullied his way out of holding any vote on his future, so the United States must be prepared to play hardball.
The Seattle Times: End the corrupted EB-5 visa program.
Syndicates' take
Paul Krugman: A tale of two parties, as reflected by Hillary Clinton and Trump.
Trudy Rubin: European counties looked away as religious radicalism took root.
Michael Gerson: It's time for GOP establishment to disown Trump.
Eugene Robinson: Trump's attacks on freedom of religion.
Unfinished business
The Legislature approved the budget last week but left several items undone, including whether to fund rebates for Californians who purchase electric and plug-in vehicles. The California Air Resources Board, which oversees the rebate program, responded by posting this notice:
"Important Information from the State of California
"Funding is currently exhausted. All applications submitted after June 10, 2016 will be placed on a rebate wait list."

Savage Beach
(1989, 95 min.)
Starring Dona Speir, Hope Marie Carlton, John Apnea, Bruce Penhall, Rodrigo Obregón, Michael Mikasa, Lisa London, Teri Weigel, Michael J. Shane, Dann Seki, Al Leong, Eric Chen, Paul Cody, Patty Dufek.
Written and directed by Andy Sidaris.
Donna and Taryn (Speir and Carlton, both former Playmates as was once de rigueur with a Sidaris production) reprising their roles from Hard Ticket to Hawaii and Picasso Trigger) are slightly non-descript federal agents. They identify themselves as being from the 'Drug Enforcement Division.' Did Sidaris really think the DEA would object to the real name being used? Could putting forth the idea that women who look like this work for the agency do anything but increase enrollment? The opening scene has them taking down some drug runners in a surprisingly violent sequence that also involves two other agents, Pattycakes (Duffek) and Rocky (T&A staple London). As dictated by federal policy regarding incidents involving automatic weapons fire, the four women then retire to a topless Jacuzzi session.
The women all have "straight" jobs as cover. Rocky's is running a restaurant, a fact that seems to exist primarily for a bad joke. Describing a bread-making machine, she says, "You just put the dough in and it rises automatically." "I've never heard of such a thing." "Then you didn't know my ex-boyfriend." Sure it doesn't really make any sense, but you got that it was an erection joke, right? Good. That's all the film really expects of you anyway.
Donna and Taryn's cover job is running an aerial charter business. A call comes in from Shane Abilene (Shane, and it's a running joke that every one of these movies has a character named Abilene) that an isolated island is badly in need of medical supplies, and the women have to take them there immediately. When they pick up the supplies, Abilene also gives them some hardware to take along. Why do they need to be so heavily armed on a little mission of mercy? Well, for starters, the ensuing plot will necessitate it, although there's no reason they should know that at this point. Much more importantly, if there's anything that Warren Beatty has taught me, it's that in the movies gun=dick. And so we are subjected to a conversation between Donna and Shane entirely constructed of more bad cock jokes. Quite a bit of the dialogue between men and women in the movie is like this. It's fun to imagine that this is the way Andy and wife/producer Arlene converse with each other.
Meanwhile, a Navy Captain Andreas (Aprea) and Martinez (Obregón), a representative of the government of the Philippines, are in the process of trying to locate some missing Filipino gold that was stolen by Japanese soldiers during the war, all of whom disappeared somewhere in the Pacific. In the first of several hints of Reagan-era politics, the Captain berates Martinez as a "bleeding heart liberal" who is putting the rest of the world in danger for his own gains. See, the Captain has diverted radar technology away from the Star Wars program, the country's "first defense" against attack as he calls it, to try and locate the missing Japanese vessel. First of all, if the Captain doesn't believe that Martinez holds a sincere intention to do right by the Filipino people (he doesn't, exactly, but that actually just shores up the point), why the hell is he helping him, especially if it involves such serious security issues? The only other explanation is that he's hoping to get a piece of the pie, which is not the most noble of reasons, and yet we're supposed to see him as one of the good guys. Secondly, our first defense? C'mon, this was '89, for Christ's sake. I'm betting even ol' Rappin' Ronnie had begun to suspect that Star Wars was a joke by then. Regardless of all of that crap, they manage to calculate where the Japanese soldiers likely ended up, on a remote island.
Donna and Taryn, having delivered the supplies, discover that their window of opportunity for safe flight was smaller than they thought it was going to be. They become lost in a storm and end up having to make an emergency landing on the same remote island, only to eventually find themselves face to face with the treasure hunters, as well as a mysterious presence creeping through the jungle.
As I've made perfectly clear in other places on the site, effort counts for a lot with me. T&A films may exist primarily for titillation, but there's really no reason why we can't have a good story along the way as well. And while I would never accuse Sidaris of being a good writer (the sexual banter, as noted, is embarrassing, and this is the kind of movie where when one character tells another to have a blast, you know the latter will be blown to smithereens soon afterwards), he did always try to keep things lively, at least for a while. This is an early, semi-unofficial entry in his L.E.T.H.A.L. Ladies series, and watching him attempt to construct a story that will hold interest of its own independent of the nudity makes it all the more depressing to consider some of the later films, such as Return to Savage Beach, by which time he seemed to have abandoned the idea of any sort of actual plot all the better to fit in more footage of Julie K. Smith wrapping her breasts around a runway pole.
Surprisingly though, we seem to have a case of the exact opposite here. If anything there's too much story, with all sorts of double-dealings in play, and while there are plenty of breasts on display, they're mostly shot in oddly perfunctory ways. The usual leering quality of this kind of fare is in short supply. Whether this is a good or a bad thing depends on your tastes. And it's hard to complain in any case when two of the main sets of breasts belong to Speir and Carlton, who manage to come off not completely unbelievable as professional women (I damn them with faint, grammatically awkward praise). And, not to take anything away from Speir, Carlton is just so damn cute, possibly one of the most adorable models ever to pose for the man in the silk pajamas.
You pretty much always know what you're going to get with a Sidaris movie: a 'splodey, smarmy production that looks like it stepped out of a 1980s action TV series and picked up some naked babes along the way. (Or to put it in terms cultists will appreciate, they're kind of like Cheri Caffaro movies minus the nastiness.) If you're interested in some plot, choose his earlier work. Otherwise, Julie K. Smith and her runway pole await you.
