This blog by Ousmane Aly DIALLO, is part of Wikiprogress Series on Personal Security. It resumes the recent Global Slavery Index from an Africa-centred perspective.
The Global Slavery Index is a new initiative by the Australia-based Walk Free Foundation, which ranks 160 countries of the world according to three factors: estimated prevalence of modern slavery by population, a measure of child marriage, and a measure of human trafficking in and out of a country. The aggregate measure is weighted in order to reflect the first dimension of the index: the estimated prevalence of modern slavery by population (95% weighting).

Slavery often appears as a phenomenon of the past, reminiscent of raids during the 18th century, the transatlantic trade and recently, as glamourized in Hollywood productions. But the reality is there, apparent and stark: nearly 30 million of the world populations are enslaved under different forms varying from debt bondage, forced begging to hereditary chattel slavery.
Of the 10 first countries of the ranking (which hosts the highest prevalence of slavery out of the 160 countries), 5 are in Africa: Mauritania (#1), Benin (#7), Côte d'Ivoire(#8), Gambia (#9) and Gabon (#10). 16.36% of the estimated total 29.8 million people in modern slavery are in Sub-Saharan Afric which is the likeliest place to risk enslavement in the world.
The report defines slavery the possession and control of a person in such a way as to significantly deprive that person of his or her individual liberty, with the intent of exploiting that person through their use, management, profit, transfer or disposal. Usually this exercise will be achieved through means such as violence or threats of violence, deception and/or coercion. It takes many forms in 2013 and may be known by many names. Human trafficking, forced labour, slavery-like situations (debt bondage, forced or servile marriage, sale or exploitation of children, including in armed conflitct), all these phenomenons falls into the operational definition.
Definition of modern day slavery by the Global Slavery Index
Trafficking Slavery
1 Recruitment, transportation, transfer, harboring or receipt of persons.
2 By means of threat or use of force or other forms of coercion, of abduction, of fraud, of deception, of the abuse of power or of a position of vulnerability or of the giving or receiving of payments or benefits to achieve the consent of a person having control over another person (these means are not required in the case of children).
3 With the intent of exploiting that person through:
(UN Trafficking Protocol, 2000)
The status or condition of a person over whom any or all of the powers attaching to the right of ownership are exercised.
Includes slavery-like practices: debt bondage, forced or servile marriage, sale or exploitation of children (including in armed conflict) and descent-based slavery.
(The Slavery Convention (1926) and Supplementary Slavery Convention (1956)
Forced Labour
All work or service which is exacted from any person under the menace of any penalty and for which the said person has not offered himself voluntarily.
(ILO Forced Labour Convention, 1930 (No. 29)
Mauritania, is ranked number 1 in the Index. Slavery is prevalent in this country and a large part of its population (abid and to a lesser extent the Haratine[1], populations of black ancestry but of Moorish-Berber culture) is deprived of basic rights due to this institution. The report estimates that between 140,000 – 160,000 people are enslaved in Mauritania, a country with a population of just 3.8 million. This ranking also reflects high levels of child marriage, and to a lesser extent, human trafficking. The phenomenon takes the form of chattel slavery, meaning that adults and children in slavery are the full property of their masters who exercise total ownership over them and their descendants.
The high prevalence measured for such countries as Mauritania reflect centuries-old patterns of enslavement, often based on colonial conflicts and injustice exacerbated by contemporary armed conflict.
Benin is the second worst performing African country. Informal domestic service- child labour in most cases- is its most prevalent form, as it is in the rest of West Africa. With the Vidomegon institution, girls as young as seven years old, are engaged as domestic workers in exchange for accommodation and subsistence. In a practice which runs parallel to the Trokosi system, Vudusi, or 'shrine slavery' affects young girls in Benin, who are offered as sacrifices to religious shrines, and subsequently forced to live in and care for the shrine, and often being habitually sexually abused
The report shows also that women and children are trafficked within Benin from rural areas to the cities, and children are trafficked into countries in the region like Togo, Nigeria, Ghana, Gabon, Côte d'Ivoire, Cameroon and Guinea. But the establishment of an ILO-backed agreement between Nigeria and Benin is a positive step towards the eradication of this form of exploitation.
At the 143rd place, Mauritius was the best performing country in Africa. The estimated enslaved population revolves around 510-560 for a population of 1,291,416 habitants. The Island is also performing very well on other government issues as apparent in the recent Ibrahim Index of African Governance, where it stands as the best performing country of the continent. Mauritius leads the region in stability and the protection of human and worker rights, but is eclipsed by South Africa and Gabon in terms of the extent of policies on modern slavery.
Laws and the persistence of slavery
Most of the African countries with a high prevalence of people under slavery has in their judicial system, a set of laws that makes slavery illegal. In Mauritania, slavery was first recognized in 1980 following the emergence of the Haratine movement "El Hor" ("The Free Man" in Hassanya) and further outlawed in 2007 by the first government of the post-Taya period. But criminal prosecution rarely occurs despite the extant laws. Since the implementation of the law in 2007, and though several victims had tried to take action against their masters, only one conviction has been handed down, according to the report.
The lack of a special law enforcement unit and solid data on slavery are among Mauritania's main obstacles to make these practices a negative reminiscence of the past.
Also in Benin, despite the existence of an enforcement unit against child labour and a legislature criminalizing this phenomenon, there has been little effect on this institution.
One of the reasons suggested is that the 126 Labour inspectors investigates only on the formal sector while the Vudusi system is present only on the informal sector. The creation of the Central Office for the Protection of Minors (OCPM) is part of the government's response to child labour but the lack of any long term plan for the care of these vulnerable children diminishes the positive reach of these measures.
Interesting trends are apparent in this Global Slavery Index. Slavery is mostly a cultural trait of these afflicted countries, and it may not be considered as such by the victims and the abusers.
Furthermore, women are the most affected by this practice. They are disproportionately represented in this population. One explanation is that they thrive more often in the domestic sphere of their masters which are likelier to be in remote areas, far from the reach on national justice systems.
Without access to education or alternative means of subsistence, many believe that it is God's wish for them to be slaves. In Mauritania, as most people in slavery are kept illiterate and uneducated, they are unaware of the fact that according to Islamic law, a Muslim cannot enslave a fellow Muslim. The lack of education is thus a means to perpetuate these practices.
Conflicts, extremes of poverty, high levels of corruption, and the impact of resource exploitation to feed global markets all increase the risk of enslavement in various African countries. Child and forced marriages are still tolerated in the context of informal or 'traditional' legal systems in many countries.
In many African countries, there are laws punishing slavery and slavery-like conditions. The perpetuation of the practice is mainly due to the lack of enforcement by the governments. Political will will be a critical factor in the eradication of these practices

[1] Haratine designates the manumitted slaves. It's different from abid which is the hassanya term to designate slaves but in the common political discourse, the difference between the two terms has become blurred.

Thinking about the mayor's race in Kansas City and what my story about Mike Burke's father, Jim Burke, might say about it.
True, that story is 30 years old. But, it seems to me a man's relationship to his father never ages. My father was a union man. He was a Republican then the war in Vietnam made him a Democrat. He had a very strong view on loyalty. He also had strong views on Las Vegas and those who spent their money there. He had strong views on the Methodist church and who should sit in the front pew (us!). He couldn't sing a lick but he believed everybody should sing hymns loud as they could.
He had an incredibly strong view on responsibility. "Son, if you don't signal that turn, the guy behind you will slam on his brakes, the stupe behind him who is not paying attention will slam into the back of him and two kids in the backseat may die… all because you were two damned lazy to signal."
So, I hear his voice in my head all the time, even if I don't want to.
Now, I'm not trying to guess what Mike Burke, one of the candidates for mayor, hears in his head. But, if he hears his father's voice, and if my 30-year-old story was accurate in relaying his father's voice, then my guess is he is guided by some of these principles.
I might venture the notion that he is probably committed to development, the way his father apparently was. I see him as a person who considers development a key element in the health of a city. His father's work was mostly north of the river, where undeveloped land could be purchased – I would guess his focus might return north of the river as often as possible.
One thing we tend to see in politicians is they tend to be formed by their first political successes.
I think this old article might point to the idea that he is well connected. And, I don't mean connected to Tom Pendergast, as his father was. I just mean connected to the business and political establishment – as his father was. In that way, his roots run deep in the way things have been done in the city across decades. My guess is a vote for Mike Burke is a vote for political stability. It's up to you whether you consider that a good thing or a bad thing.
For me it's a bad thing. I'm willing to try almost anything in Kansas City as long as it isn't the same as what's been going on since Emanuel Cleaver left office.
On the other hand, I like what his father had to say about Pendergast. In the article, his father allowed that the Pendergast years, "were the greatest growth period in Kansa City history." Now, I'm not in favor of boss politics but I do think it is good for a mayor to keep in mind what made boss politics work – and it wasn't always muscle. Sometimes it was the fact that people worked which made boss politics work.
My guess is neither candidate has the background to suggest he will provide something new in the mayor's office. And if there is one thing the city needs, it's something new.
Because the old school ain't working.

Concluding Remarks of the Conference


text:
Monday on Fox News Channel's "The Kelly File," while discussing new reports saying the officers acted reasonably in the death of Tamir Rice, the 12-year-old boy who was shot dead while holding a toy gun by a Cleveland police officer, Milwaukee Co., WI Sheriff David Clarke said.
Guest host Shannon Bream said, "Despite these reports, Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton is being an expert on this. Now today sending out a message of support to Tamir Rice's loved ones, saying, 'Too many black families are mourning the loss of a child.' Last week Clinton met with some Black Lives Matter activists. On Friday, she sent out a message saying this, quote, 'Racism is America's original sin.' And our good friend Mr. Greg Gutfeld over at The Five is now suggesting that positions like Mrs. Clinton's are only making things worse."
She continued, "We have two, now, outside investigations, one by a former FBI agent, I believe, another by a prosecutor saying that the officer, you know, lamenting the death of a 12-year-old but saying the officers acted in a reasonable manner. You gotta make split-second decisions. But still there are those who are casting doubt on the case. Sheriff?"
Clarke said, "Well, first of all, Mrs. Bill Clinton is showing that she is willing to prostitute herself to secure the black vote. Look, she knows that's her ace in the hole when it comes to Bernie Sanders, especially when they get into the primaries in the southern states. She knows better than that. That sort of pandering is unbecoming of someone who wants to become the next president of the United States. She's well aware, as an attorney, of the objective reasonableness standard in Graham v. Connor, that officers have to make split second decisions on how much force and when to use force, and you can't use 20/20 hindsight. She knows that, that it's the reasonable officer standard. Once you strip away the emotion, the hyperbole, and the rhetoric involved in this tragic case, all that's left are the facts and circumstances. And it's the rule of law standard that has to prevail."

Five Tips To Help You Ace Personal Finance 101
(NAPSI)—Managing money as a college student can be challenging—with juggling tuition, room and board, books and everyday expenses, costs can quickly add up. Money is often tight and income limited. What's more, for many, college is a time when they may be managing their money for the first time, not to mention with the added financial stress of looming student debt.
Managing Your Money
How can college students effectively manage their money and stay afloat? Here are five tips to help students navigate college and build a strong financial foundation:
• Make a budget and stick to it: Since college is all about planning for the future, money management skills should be part of that plan. Establish your monthly budget even before school begins. Determine how much you'll need for typical expenses such as transportation, clothes and entertainment, then include setting aside money for your savings account, even if it's small. More than anything else, stick to your budget.
• Pick the right savings account and add to it: Seek out accounts free from minimum deposit requirements and monthly maintenance fees, but that deliver competitive interest rates to earn cash on savings. Consider the convenience of online banking, which parents will appreciate for transferring funds through person-to-person services such as Zelle®, which Ally Bank, Member FDIC, offers, free.
• Use your college ID to your advantage: Ask restaurants and both local and national retailers if they offer a college ID discount when you make a purchase.
• Plan (and save) for the unexpected: Stash some cash to cover unpredictable costs so you don't have to use a credit card and risk building up potential debt.
• Get a part-time job: Earning $10 an hour, just a few days a week, could add up. It needn't be a large time commitment and the income can help your budgeting and saving for activities and items that you want rather than need.
You may also be glad to know that Ally Bank lets customers open a Money Market Account with no minimum deposit or monthly maintenance fee, with compounding interest daily, and that comes with a free debit card for quick access to cash. Ally customers can use any Allpoint® ATM in the U.S., free, and Ally reimburses up to $10 per statement cycle for fees charged at other ATMs.

Ayesha Curry: She'd Love Steph & Warriors To Win NBA Championship On Father's Day
Ayesha Curry wants her husband Steph's Golden State Warriors to win the 2017 NBA Championship so badly. We've got EXCLUSIVE details on why she doesn't mind if their series against the Cavs goes to game seven because it lands on Father's Day at home.
Things are looking good for the Golden State Warriors, as they completely crushed the Cleveland Cavaliers in their first two games of the NBA Finals. Team captain Steph Curry's wife Ayesha, 28, has been there cheering on her husband the entire time and thinks a Father's Day Championship win would be so sentimental. "Ayesha is very proud of her husband. His success in his NBA career and how much of a wonderful father he is and continues to become is something very special for her to witness. And as much as she would be happy at any point that the Warriors would win the NBA Championship, even in a sweep, she thinks it would be awesome if winning landed on Father's Day," a source close to the Warriors tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY.
"Having everything happen in one place, especially being home would be a real treat for her to be a part of, and she'd love Steph to have that moment with the entire family," our insider adds. Father's Day 2017 falls on Sunday June 18, and if the series with the Cavaliers goes to seven games, it would take place on that day inside Oakland' Oracle Arena, where the Warriors always dominate. Steph is such a family guy that to have daughters Riley, four, and Ryan, one, on hand to celebrate would be epic for the loving dad.
So far things are looking so bright for Steph, 29, and his team, who have been dominating on every level both offensively and defensively. Now the action moves to Cleveland for games three and four, and the Cavs definitely know a thing or two about epic comebacks. They were down 3-1 in the 2016 finals and came roaring back to end up winning the NBA title in seven games against the Warriors. If they get their mojo back and do the same thing this year, we'll could very well have that Father's Day showdown!
Steph and Riley Curry getting ready for Game 2.

HollywoodLifers, who are you rooting for to win the 2017 NBA Championship, the Warriors or the Cavaliers?

An increasing number of visitors are asking for the old knitting booklet publications to be made available as complete items rather than as separate patterns removed from the booklets.
Knitters who want to trace patterns that they used when they had their babies are now looking to knit some of those patterns again for that precious first grandchild and so they are searching for 'that' knitting booklet.
I've added just a few here as a starter, but over the coming weeks I will aim to add a good selection of complete vintage pattern booklets from all of those old favourite brands.
Some of the booklet files will be too large to send as email attachments so you will recieve a link to download your pattern direct.
I hope you will enjoy browsing and maybe taking a trip down memory lane. If there is a specific booklet you are looking for - please ask - I may have it.
Thank you for calling in to visit :)

"Yes please! I need MORE of this wickedly erotic world Ms. Chandler has woven! Bottom Line: This is Ms. Chandler's debut novel, but you'd never know it by the excellent writing and editing. ENOUGH is totally flawless…pick this one up STAT!!"
–The Romance Review, 5 Stars
"This was a book that I found hard to put down. ENOUGH is the debut title from Jade Chandler and I'd just like to say that I loved her writing style so much. Dare and Lila's story was red hot and had me hooked almost from the first page." –Night Owl Reviews, 4.5 Stars
"Enough by Jade Chandler had me thoroughly entranced from the beginning of the book until the very end. The more I read, the more I liked about Dare and Red's story."–-Love, Lust Erotic Romance Blog, 5 Stars
Back Cover Copy
She wanted nothing to do with me. Well, that's too f*cking bad.
My MC brothers call me Dare for a reason. I never back down from a challenge. And Lila was the sweetest challenge I ever faced.
From the moment she walked into my tattoo shop, she was going to end up in my bed. Tied up, moaning my name and begging for more.
Her past was a nightmare and I couldn't guarantee her a future. But I could promise her a good time.
I didn't know what we would turn into, let alone how hard it'd be to stay away after my selfish ass sent her packing.
Problem is, my girl is hot, so the same men I call brothers tried to claim her.
There's not enough bourbon in the world to help me forget the love we shared. But to get her back, to prove she's more to me then a quick lay, I'll have to tell her the secret I've been hiding from everyone.
Before she's gone forever.

A recap of an NFL season that began with all eyes on Patriots backup quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo — Tom Brady's replacement in the wake of the Deflategate suspension a federal judge overturned — and ended with Peyton Manning awkwardly shilling for a beer company that once kept its worldwide headquarters in St. Louis.
Can you think of anything else that used to be based in St. Louis?
OK, on to the highlights and lowlights.
▪ Best Seahawks Game: The Week 12 shootout against Pittsburgh produced more offensive artistry during any four given minutes than Super Bowl 50 produced over four hours. Opponents fighting for their playoff lives exchanged the lead eight times, with Russell Wilson's five touchdown passes trumping the 456 yards Steelers' quarterback Ben Roethlisberger amassed in a 39-30 Seattle victory.
▪ Worst Seahawks Game: After surviving a 10-9 wild-card thriller remembered for the sub-zero temperatures at Minnesota, the defending NFC champions traveled to Carolina and found no juice in their batteries. Although they managed to make the score appear respectable, it speaks volumes when a team puts up 24 unanswered points in the second half and still loses by a touchdown.
▪ Best Evidence of Marshawn Lynch's Animosity Toward The NFL: By "announcing" his retirement during the fourth quarter of the league's signature event, the running back made what amounted to an obscene gesture toward commissioner Roger Goodell — the same commissioner who fined Lynch $20,000 for displaying a different kind of obscene gesture.
Aside from the arrogance of presuming his career plans to be more important than the Super Bowl, the cleats-hanging-on-the-line Twitter message was pretty cool, and suggested Lynch will be as much of a force as an entrepreneur as he was on the field.
▪ Worst Fall From Grace: After turning Philadelphia into a playoff contender with a pair of 10-6 finishes, head coach Chip Kelly used his influence as Grand Poobah of the Eagles Lodge and overhauled the roster. Behind new quarterback Sam Bradford, things looked promising during the preseason.
Kelly didn't make it through December.
▪ Best Opportunity To Dust Off An Old Joke: Bengals cornerback Pacman Jones and Broncos cornerback Aqib Talib get into a knock-down, drag-out fight after consuming several beverages more volatile than the beer endorsed by Peyton Manning. This didn't happen, by the way. I'm merely using this very conceivable premise to set up the punch line.
Anyway, in a brawl between Jones and Talib, who wins?
▪ Worst TV Commercial Prior To A Super Bowl That Aired Ads For Products Providing Relief From Toe Fungus And Constipation: The "Football Is Family" spot featuring Eric Dickerson's reflections on mourning the late Walter Payton. Not a good idea for the NFL to bring up the death of a legendary iron man whose reported reliance on pain medication likely contributed to the liver disease that killed him.
Payton didn't just devote himself to a violent sport. He gave his life to it.
▪ Best Rivalry: Forget the Bears-Packers, Steelers-Ravens and Cowboys-Redskins. The NFL's best rivalry is Eli Manning versus older brother Peyton. Upon scoring the late touchdown that sealed the Broncos' victory Sunday, the Manning family was seen celebrating in its private suite. Well, most of the Manning family celebrated. Eli wore a hangdog expression that asked: Why is this happening to me?
Eli's claim to fame was the two Super Bowl rings he won with the Giants, compared to the one ring Peyton won with the Colts. The realization that big brother also would own two clearly despaired Eli, who seemed oblivious to the NFL's ad campaign.
Hello, Eli? Anybody home? Football is family!
▪ Worst Recycling Of A Vince Lombardi Quote: When Carolina quarterback Cam Newton was clearing out his locker after returning to the Panthers' practice facility, he defended his sullen behavior on the sidelines and in the postgame interview area, where most questions were answered with answers that ranged from one to seven words.
"Show me a good loser," Newton said Tuesday, "and I'll show you a loser."
Lombardi lost 35 times as an NFL coach, and not once did he pout like a high school teenager denied the keys to the family car on Friday night.
▪ Best Headline Regarding Newton's Act: Props to the folks at Yahoo Sports are in order for this gem: "Cam Newton goes from Superman to Incredible Sulk in poor postgame showing."
▪ Worst Crisis Awaiting Seahawks Fans Already Restless To Kick Off The 2016 Season: Salary-cap issues are paramount, which is to say it will be a challenge, once again, for Pete Carroll and John Schneider to keep a powerhouse team together for a third Super Bowl appearance in four years.
But, hey, it's a challenge more appealing than solving toe fungus while you're constipated.

Mr. Conductor is out in the woods talking with a squirrel friend of his. The squirrel wants to hear about Toby and Daisy's encounter with a bull on the Island of Sodor. Mr. Conductor reaches into his pocket for his whistle, but it's not there. He becomes very distraught as he looks around the forest path, declaring he can't tell his stories with out his whistle. Finally, Mr. Conductor puts two fingers to his mouth and whistles to begin the story, "Bulls Eyes."
Afterward, Mr. Conductor is back in Shining Time Station rummaging through the Lost & Found box for his whistle. Searching through the box reminds him of how a group of cricket players had to search for their missing ball when Stepney the Bluebell Engine carried it off with his train. Finding a discarded party horn in a box, Mr. Conductor blows it to start the story, "Train Stops Play."
With the story finished, Mr. Conductor is now in the Arcade talking to his goldfish about his missing whistle. He says that whistles don't just disappear, unless perhaps a ghost took it. Mr. Conductor quickly dismisses that idea however, nothing that even Thomas the Tank Engine doesn't believe in ghosts anymore, and he puckers his lips to whistle just loudly enough to begin the story of how Percy played a ghostly trick on Thomas.
Mr. Conductor is now pacing around at the station entrance, saying the missing whistle is a mystery that must be solved. He continues that some find mysteries scary, such as Percy did when he encountered a dragon.
Finally, Mr. Conductor calls out the station window to Mrs. Bird and appeals to her honesty, asking if she's "borrowed" any shiny metal objects. He declares that a conductor without a whistle is like a frog without a lily pad, a hula without a hoop, or Peter Sam without his special funnel. To illustrate that last example, Mr. Conductor asks Mrs. Bird to whistle so the story can begin.
After the story, Mr. Conductor is thanking Mrs. Bird for delivering a package to him. He tells his goldfish how he'd forgotten he'd given his whistle to Thomas to give to Sir Topham Hatt so it could be polished. He shows the fish the whistle, good as new. Declaring that Thomas always comes through, Mr. Conductor blows his whistle to begin a song about how Thomas is a really useful engine to close out the episode.

This is a rush transcript from "Special Report," January 3, 2014. This copy may not be in its final form and may be updated.
BRET BAIER, ANCHOR: Each week we ask you to vote in our online poll for your favorite panel topic for the Friday Lightning Round this week we decided to let you choose and Charles' pick won. It's a popular choice.
CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER, SYNDICATED COLUMNIST: Question is, what parts of ObamaCare will be gone by the end of this year? And the correct answer is by midyear the individual mandate will be gone and probably the parts that allow the administration to bail out the insurers if they are in financial trouble.
BAIER: Elise?
ELISE VIEBECK, THE HILL: I don't know if the individual mandate will be gone, but I think it will be weakened because the administration will grant a kind of immunity to people who had trouble signing up on healthcare.gov or on their state exchanges as well as people who would have been eligible for the Medicaid expansion in states that chose not to take it. I also think insurance companies will actually see greater financial revenues from the federal government in order to shore up the weak risk pools that we could see a result of the website's problem.
BAIER: Big vote out in Washington, union solidarity in Everett, Washington kind of shaken a bit as this vote about Boeing, whether they are going to vote to stay there or they are going to move out to South Carolina. Steve, what about this and that what does it say about unions?
STEVE HAYES, SENIOR WRITER, THE WEEKLY STANDARD: Well, I think the kinds of fights that you are seeing both here and across the country are surely a signal of the last gasp of a dying set of worker protections that unions have provided in the past. I think the most interesting thing about this particular fight is the very different views of younger workers and older workers. Now, part of that is obviously explained because older workers can see the pensions that they've worked for right in front of they want to fight hard to keep them, and younger workers obviously aren't going to be affected as immediately.
But I think there is something bigger at play as well. I think younger workers generally, not just union members, understand that the era of, you know, huge pensions, big giveaways, deferred compensation, that's just coming to an end, whether you are working government, whether you are protected by unions, whether you work in the private sector.
BAIER: 12,000 high paying jobs on the line out there. We will watch it, the votes tonight.
Winners and losers this week, Steve?
HAYES: Well, the obviously winner is Aaron Rodgers – that's the right answer, there is no other answer despite what they might say. He threw three fourth down completions to win a game to go to the playoffs against his chief rival in the Chicago Bears, and the Packers are headed to a very cold playoff game at Lambeau Field this weekend.
The loser is the New York Times. The Times published a huge piece last weekend that was designed to change the narrative on Benghazi and made an allegation that there was no Al Qaeda involvement whatsoever and that no one in the government, the author said, believed that there was Al Qaeda involvement. There are plenty of people who believed that there was Al Qaeda involvement, involvement of the affiliates, involvement of associated terrorists, who said so in public and who have said so after the report was published. So I think the report backfired.
BAIER: Elise?
VIEBECK: My winner is well, related to the storm we are experiencing here in the Northeast. In fact there are many retailers who didn't have a great Christmas who are now selling out all of their inventory to people who are scared to leave their home because of the storm. So for those retailers, happy New Year.
And the loser is all of the millions of users on Snap Chat and Skype who were hacked this week. Not so happy new year for them. It's very interesting the rise of these hacktivist groups. We're probably going to see similar attacks in the New Year.
BAIER: OK, Charles.
KRAUTHAMMER: Winner are the Antarctic penguins whose life has returned to normal after the evacuation and the rescue of global warming research passengers who were polluting their pristine environment and disturbing their mating habits.
The winner of the week -- oh, actually, the loser of the week is the Justice Department for taking on, regardless of the merits of the case and how it turns out, the optics of the government taking on the Little Sisters of the Poor. It isn't even the big sisters of the poor. It's the Little Sisters of the Poor. It isn't the Little Sisters of the Middle Class. It's of the poor. If you want to take on somebody and you are the Department of Justice, take on the Packers, not the Little Sisters of the Poor.
BAIER: You had to throw that in at the end, didn't you?
HAYES: I was with you until the end.
BAIER: Until the end you had Steve.
Alright, thank you. Elise, thank you for being here. I would love to have you back.
VIEBECK: Thank you.
BAIER: That's it for the panel, but stay tuned for a superstar in the making. Plus, the SR Bing Pulse highlights.

In Plotch v. Citibank, decided on May 10, 2016, the Court of Appeals clarified issues of lien priority between a consolidated mortgage and a condominium's common charge lien pursuant to RPL §399-z. Specifically, the court addressed whether the exception to a common charge lien's priority for "all sums unpaid on a first mortgage of record," as set forth in RPL §399-z, applies to a consolidated mortgage recorded prior to the recordation of such common charge lien. The court held that a consolidated mortgage constitutes only one first mortgage of record for purposes of lien priority under the Condominium Act. However, the court limited its holding by emphasizing that the consolidated mortgage was recorded prior to the common charge lien, and therefore the court expounded that "[t]he consolidation agreement […] did not interfere with any rights of the condominium board." In such, it is envisioned that a subsequently recorded consolidation agreement to a common charge lien will not be given first lien priority pursuant to RPL §399-z.

I have been living in a miracle-filled life ever since February when I started doing the gazes with Braco (pronounced Brahtz-so). The light that comes through him has drawn forth and expanded the light within me – the same light that is within all of us. I have had miraculous physical healings, and my life has flowed with greater grace, ease, and joy than ever before. My poetry and creativity have returned, along with the desire to finish projects, website, etc., and to get back to writing. Life is amazing. And most joyous of all, one of my dearest and most heartfelt prayers has been answered. Lately, sometimes when the energy turns itself on, the miraculous has been happening through me.
A few weeks ago a dear long-time client messaged me on facebook. She had injured herself and wanted to know if I could help. As I started to write back that I would intend that healing energy be sent her way, I felt a heat like fire go through me. I didn't know what it was doing, so I just hit "send." I was dumbfounded when she wrote back that as she read the message, the heat flamed through her and the pain just disappeared. I cried tears of intense gratitude.
It happened with another dear client who came with a migraine she had suffered with for months. I felt as if a giant vacuum was placed on my head and something sucked up and out of her, through my heart and out my head. Suddenly the lights came on in her eyes. She smiled. Her migraine disappeared. I can't control this. I am not sure I completely understand the mechanics of it (although being a former engineer I'd love to!!), and yet it has put me in an entirely different realm of beliefs about what is possible. I've always believed intellectually in miracles and instant healing, but to start seeing it more often has challenged me to look at myself when I get in a tough spot and ask why I would hold onto anything less than wonderful in my life. I am challenging myself to stretch my beliefs and to step into an even larger reality. Why not? All dimensions exist at once. We can choose the one we focus on. I've had many miracles in my own life as a result.
Miracles seem to happen when we both thirst for them with our entire being, and when we are willing to let go of our attachment and obsession with the problem. They involve a willingness to either receive the miracle or to be open to anything else that might be in our highest good. If we detach from the outcome, we actually let go of the problem, the solution, and everything in between and we open ourselves up to all possibilities. God will give us what is truly best for our soul. Sometimes that means getting what you want. Sometimes that means not getting what you want, but learning so you can have far more than you want.
For example, I am pre-menopausal, and while this might be too much information, sometimes we women bleed a lot during this phase. A few months ago that was happening and so I put in a Braco DVD and simply said, "OK God, if you can work through this to help me please do, but if I need to go through this, then give me the strength." I focused on feeling good, adopted an attitude of "what is perfect for me will be," and watched a favorite segment of the DVD. Suddenly heat shot like lightning into my abdomen and within seconds the bleeding stopped and my energy returned. Another time I got my stomach all knotted up because I stuffed some feelings, and when I prayed for my miracle healing, instead of having an instant fix, the emotions I had repressed came out in a flood of tears and then my entire body relaxed. We don't always get what we want instantly, but we do get what we need!
So when you want your miracles, try this prayer… "Dear God please (whatever you want), or if I have to go through this give me the strength." "Whatever is perfect for me will be!" Then let go and trust that what is best in the big picture will happen. You'll either get your miracle or something better through the current experience than you might have anticipated!
Have a miraculous week!
I love you all,

You read about the stars and how their prenup is going to impact the latest high dollar divorce. But, what about the average couple. Is a prenup right for them? Here are 3 pros and 3 cons.
When a Prenuptial Agreement Might be a Good Idea
1. There Is A Big Difference In The Financial Status Of You And Your Partner. A prenuptial agreement can protect you both. For the person who has the most assets, it can define who has the rights to property owned prior to marriage and, in some states, it can limit the amount of alimony that can be awarded. On the other hand, it can protect the partner who may be much weaker financially by ensuring some financial aid is in place.
2. It's Your Second Time Around. A second marriage is a whole different animal from a first marriage. It may involve children and child support, spousal support and a whole new set of considerations too make a blended family work. It also may involve considerable assets. A prenuptial agreement can give each spouse the right to define various assets. It also insures that your wishes will be followed in the event of your death and both your new and old families will inherit according to your wishes.
3. It Protects Your Business. If you are a business owner or a partner in a business, a prenuptial agreement can protect your business in the event of divorce. You don't want your ex to become an unwanted partner if you separate and divorce. Spell it out so that a share of your business is not in jeopardy during a divorce.
Why a Prenuptial Agreement Might Not be a Good Idea
1. Until Death (Or Divorce) Do You Part. Marriage is a commitment and planning for it to end before it even starts may weaken the commitment you need to see you through the hard times. If you're starting out together and a prenup isn't needed to protect certain assets, you might get a stronger start – and a stronger marriage — by skipping it.
2. It Can Keep You In A Bad Marriage. This is the opposite of what it is supposed to do. But, if a prenuptial agreement is very one-sided, the partner that has the most to lose may decide to stick it out even when it would be more sensible to throw in the towel.
3. It Can Backfire. Things change and you may think that the prenup is keeping your assets safe, but if those assets rapidly decline in value, you could end up with less than your partner if the partner's worth has grown while yours was shrinking. An entirely different distribution may be more equitable if you divorce after a number of years, but the prenup may have everything locked in place.
A prenup doesn't cover everything. Your state laws will take precedence so, if, for example, you put who would be the custodial parent of unborn children in a prenup that probably will not hold up in court. It also assumes honesty so if there's something you didn't disclose, that asset will not be covered by the prenup. If you think you need or want a prenup, be up front with your significant other. Then, talk to a family law attorney and get expert advice. That lawyer can advise you on the necessity of a prenuptial agreement and then draw up an agreement that will hold up if you ever need it. A good family law attorney can make all the difference.

The Bitcoin is the Cryptocurrency and also called as future digital currency.

Erbanna Is the Line of Bags That Weed Smokers Don't Even Know How Badly They Need
Having an organized and stylish place to keep your weed that you can leave out in plain sight is an option any adult deserves.
Alexander Wang Fabiana Sandal $495, Shopbop
When it comes to shoe accessories these days, the field looks pretty bleak. Gone are the days of multiple multi-color shoe laces and those little thingies that you put on them so that they wouldn't come untied.
Nobody really wears spats anymore, although some fashion-y kids have been trying to make it happen for a bit, and shoe clips are a thing of the past, too.
Our shoes roam the world naked and sans accessories, totally heartbroken.
Well, not if Alexander Wang has anything to do with it! For his fall collection he took the superwoman vibez that permeated his collection and brought the world of shoe accessories back to life by fabricating tiny leather capes that attach via an ankle strap to his barely-there strappy sandals.
"What a useless addition to a shoe!" you think, but you are wrong! These contraptions serve to protect the back of your feet from disgusting puddle water, wayward loogies and the occasional pee-splash from when you squat down in a hidden corner somewhere cause the line to the bathroom is like an hour long. (When you gotta go, you gotta go.)
But mostly, they are a ridiculously fun addition to your wardrobe and the best way to showcase your hidden superpowers without having to wear a slutty Wonder Woman costume on Halloween. And that's something we can all strive for.

Big dogs meet the puppies ....
Hailey is still very protective of her babies - not to us human folk - but she doesn't much like the bigger dogs around them, so we have kept them outside. Last night we let Huntley, the dad in to see his babies. He could have cared less! He was more interested in checking out other things in the pole barn. We did get him to go over and say high for a quick picture though:
Then we brought in B'Nellie and she is very interested in them - probably because technically, she is still a puppy herself:
We had more visitors last night with their little kids. They took several pictures which I hope to get copies of and post here later on. My camera battery died unfortunatley.
Have a great weekend!
