text: We do not need an Upper House of 800 members. It's time for a moratorium on new Peers Lord Fowler 5 min read24 January 2020 We need the whole-hearted cooperation of the Government to reduce the size of the House of Lords, writes Lord Fowler Personally, I am in favour of the Government's proposal to have a Constitution Commission whose terms of reference will include reform of the House of Lords. Goodness knows there are enough issues to consider in this area. There is however one danger in establishing such a Commission; it could easily mean that issues that can be dealt with now are put off and postponed. You can almost hear ministers replying to probing questions with "I am sure that this very important matter can be considered by the Commission in due course". What will not be said is that implementation of the final report is likely to be two or three years down the road. So, let me set out two urgent issues where we do not have to wait. The first is the size of the House of Lords itself. My chief hope had been that the Prime Minister would follow the course of his predecessor, Mrs May, who pledged herself to "moderation" in new appointments and that he would adopt the formula set out by the committee I established under the expert chairmanship of Terry Burns. I fear that my hopes may soon be dashed. If the leaks are to be believed, then Labour have nominated eight new peers. But they are just the Labour-nominated peers and the Government will also have their own nominations which could well be double that of Labour. In addition, two new ministers have been introduced to the House. It could mean that in the few weeks since the general election there will have been around 25 new appointments and the total number members in the Lords will have been pushed up past 800 once again. This will have been in spite of the efforts made by the House itself, without the benefit of Government legislation, to curb this excess. My argument against new arrivals is in no way personal; I assume the list will include obvious candidates like Ken Clarke. My primary concern is one of numbers. Put simply, we do not need a House of 800. The target set by the report of the Lord Speaker's committee was 600 members, and there is an argument to be made for a House of 500. But to achieve either of these totals we would need the whole-hearted cooperation of the Government. It is both unsustainable and unfair for peers to retire, only to find that they are immediately replaced by a Prime Minister who appoints more than the number who have departed. The dissolution honours are now all but water under the bridge but after that, I would advocate an effective moratorium on new appointments until the commission has completed its work. There can be a few exceptions, such as front bench appointment, but the general approach should be one of reduction, not increase. The second substantial change that can be made now is in the process of appointments. Currently, the House of Lords Appointments Commission has the duty to check on the propriety of appointments on matters such as financial background. What they do not have (with the exception of a small number of so-called people's peers) is the duty to check whether prospective peers know what their work obligations will be when they enter the second House. This is not just a question of speaking in the chamber on major debates. It is also the often-unreported scrutiny work during the committee stage of bills. It is membership of select committees which is both time-consuming and important. It is the voting in divisions and carrying out the important roles which enable the House to function, like Deputy Speakers. It is demanding work but not always recognised by new peers on entering the House. I remember a new peer coming to see me only days after being introduced and confessing that he/she had no idea of what membership of the Lords actually involved or what hard work it was. In my experience, when you look at the record of members turning up to the House, most take their role seriously. However, in the 2017-19 session, there were over 100 members who took part in fewer than 10 percent of divisions. One newspaper took the issue further and claimed that one in nine peers did not participate in any House of Lords business whatsoever. Doubtless, some of the detail of such a survey could be challenged but what is difficult to dispute is that there is, unfortunately, a small minority of peers who take very little part in the work of the Lords. This is not a plea for full-time peers, but it is a plea for new members to understand the obligations they are taking on and the need to make some meaningful contribution. The obvious solution is for the powers of the Appointments Commission to be widened for all prospective peers; all candidates should be required to satisfy the Commission that they both know what is involved and that they intend to make a contribution. Frankly, that is the very least that can be expected for members of an appointed House which is part of the national legislature where members make laws and check the Government's legislative proposals – always remembering that it is the elected MPs who are the final arbiters.

By Bob Herman, Crain News Service
WASHINGTON (Dec. 29, 2014) — Health and Human Services (HHS) is looking to simplify health benefits information insurers provide to consumers in an effort to help people when they examine plans.
Under federal law, all group, individual and self-insured plans must include a summary of benefits and coverage for their members. These documents describe what the plans cover. They also explain cost-sharing functions, such as deductibles and copays, and special circumstances, such as whether a patient needs a referral to see a specialist.
Together, with the Departments of Labor and Treasury, HHS proposed rules Dec. 22 to make the summaries more concise and comprehensible for consumers. The new, proposed summaries of benefits and coverage would be only two-and-a-half pages, double-sided (or five pages total), compared with the current four-page double-sided (or eight pages) maximum.
The summaries would be shorter because they would not need to include information about annual limits for essential health benefits or exclusions for pre-existing conditions, since the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) eliminated those provisions.
The summaries also would include an extra coverage example, which the government said consumers find helpful when trying to understand their healthcare costs.
Federal law currently requires health plan benefits summaries to include two coverage examples: having a baby and managing type 2 diabetes. The examples show sample healthcare costs for hospital charges and prescription drugs. Under the proposed rules, health plan summaries would have a third example of a 'simple fracture,' or if someone had to go to the emergency room for a broken foot.
An updated federal glossary of healthcare terms also would accompany health plan policies. New terms like cost-sharing reductions would be included. Cost-sharing reductions are subsidies that help pay down deductibles and coinsurance for people who make between 100% and 250 percent of the federal poverty level and who choose a silver-level ACA exchange plan.
The federal government suggested several other policy changes, such as requiring health plans to disclose whether abortion services are covered and whether federal funding is included.
The goal of the proposed regulations is to help Americans "better understand their coverage options and make informed choices when shopping for a plan," CMS Administrator Marilyn Tavenner said in a release.
Comments on the proposed rules are due by the end of February.
This report appeared on the website of Crain's Modern Healthcare magazine, a Chicago-based sister publication of Tire Business.

If you are using a Galaxy Nexus on Straight Talk with a AT&T provisioned SIM card and having issues with sending and receiving MMS, here are the APN settings that should work for you.
The Galaxy Nexus that I bought through Google Play had a Cingular APN already on it. Delete it. Or at least write down the settings just in case everything breaks on you. And then delete it.
Add a new APN with exactly these entries:
- Name: straight talk (or whatever you want it to be)
- APN: att.mvno
- Proxy: proxy.mvno.tracfone.com
- Port: 80
- Username: Not set

- APN protocol: IPv4
- APN enable/disable: APN enabled

That should be it.

A lot of links this morning.
- Hance to Retire | A birdie told me this about a month ago, so I guess I've been ready for this, but Hance told us himself that he'd retire once he hit $1 billion and he did do that a while back. I'm not sure what to do with this and I have stayed away from all of this mess because I can't deal with it. So, you take this news however you want. I don't know what to think other than I do think that in his hard of hearts Hance wishes he could do things differently and I think our conversation with Eddy Clinton maybe affirms that.
- Soccer | The soccer team is headed to Norman for a game tonight against Oklahoma and will then travel to Waco on Sunday to take on Baylor. The DT has more on their weekend. The soccer team will also be on the TV this weekend, so check out the link for details.
- Volleyball | The volleyball team will go to Ft. Worth and play TCU at 5:00 pm on Saturday night.
- Women's Basketball | The Big 12 preseason poll was released and the Lady Raiders are picked last. With all of the experience that left after last year and with Baker's injury, it is going to be a very young and inexperienced team. The DT has a good bit on HC Candace Whitaker trying to improve communication on the team.
- Men's Basketball | The same Big 12 preseason poll was released for the men and are picked 9th.
- Baseball | The baseball team will play in their Red & Black Series towards the end of the month.
- Attendance Stuff | I don't know why, but I feel like this attendance stuff if being generated or manufactured by the athletic department in some form or fashion. I'm fine with it if that is the case, but it still seems a bit strange. I mentioned earlier in the week, on Tuesday I think, that this is the second time that HC Kliff Kingsbury has been asked about the student attendance. And let me make it clear, I think it is fantastic that students are going to games. Seriously, this is one of the best things to happen to Texas Tech football, but Kingsbury answer isn't going to change. Q: What do you think of the student attendance? A: We love the support, it's great. Again, there's just not a lot of substance there, but I wonder why they needed those quotes during the weekly press conference. I'm probably making too big a deal of this, but we've got an article on the official site, an article from the LAJ, an article in the DT, a video from the official site and an ad from Kingsbury about the student attendance. Maybe this is just part of who I am and my spider-sense tends to go off when things get a bit coordinated.
- Bowl Eligible | The DT writes about how Texas Tech can become bowl eligible with a win, which is sorta crazy.
- Prediction | The DMN has a prediction and a preview of the game against Iowa St.
- Pleasant Surprise | CBS Sports' Bruce Feldman has the Texas Tech defense as one of the most pleasant surprises of 2013 and he also picks games this week.
- From ISU | Our good friends at Wide Right & Natty Lite have an excellent preview of the game. Must read for sure. The student paper, the Iowa St. Daily, also has a preview of the game and how the Cyclones are trying to re-create the magic from 2011.
- Mayor of Lubbock | The Desmoines Register has a bit about how Kingsbury is the Mayor of Lubbock.
The Wallerstedt video is terrific . . . again . . . and is football pron. The second video is the DT interviewing WR Bradley Marquez and he was a fan of Breaking Bad.
The third video is about the 1953 Texas Tech team and it makes me realize a couple of things: 1) How lucky we are to have Brandon Rawe work for Texas Tech (a UT alum, but you would never know it and that speaks to how good he is); 2) I always enjoy listening to that generation talk about the game; and 3) I think the red tops with the gray looks pretty good, or at least I think it is gray.
The final video is on K Ryan Bustin, who readily admits that if Texas Tech is kicking field goals, they're not scoring touchdowns.

Ada Fisher: College education should not be on taxpayers' dime
Published 12:00 am Thursday, January 14, 2021
By Ada Fisher
Any plan to do national forgiveness of student loans is wrong unless those loans had a service or in-kind contract that such restitution would fulfill.
The U.S. student loan debt, per 2020 data, is $1.67 trillion — from which the 2018 college graduates each owe on average approximately $29,200.
According to Bartleby Research, student debt can be owed by an attending, formerly withdrawn or graduated student to a lending institution or financial institution. The lent amount, often referred to as a student loan or the debts for government loans, may be owed to the school if the student has dropped classes and withdrawn from the school or if the student has graduated but is underemployed. Withdrawing from a school with a failing grade could deprive the student of the ability to continue his/her enrollment by disqualifying the student of necessary financial aid.
Student loans come in many forms, including government, private, credit borrowing or surer-backed (such as parents). They also differ in many countries in the strict laws regulating renegotiating and bankruptcy. Due payments, including room and board, may be a retroactive penalty for services rendered by the school to the individual.
The government has thrown some unfortunate monkey wrenches into the student loan program.
No. 1: The Pell Grant program has allowed educational institutions to raise tuition every time grant amounts are raised, thereby not diminishing the prospects of any true savings on cost. These loans have no requirement that a course of study for an institution actually have the needed courses for a student to graduate within a normal period of time.
No. 2: Any and everything someone wants to study has been considered legitimate whether such degrees offer any hope of adequate economic educational compensation to recoup this investment. It is not the taxpayer's job to finance an education for its citizens beyond high school. These are choices which the individual makes and cost which he/she should bare.
No. 3: The program penalizes educational institutions who enroll students who don't graduate by causing them to seek out the students to get repayment as well as making them liable for student failure to repay as part of their accreditation requirement to be financially stable and limit borrowing by future students. This circumstance erroneously penalizes the schools for money borrowed without consulting them and for which calculations of additional aid for others may be crippled. This is particularly poignant for small private institutions and, particularly, the historically Black colleges and universities — many of whom have their accreditation questioned due in some measure to these debts. The schools do not make the loans; so why are they held liable for collecting on them? Why also does the student loan not get diminished if the schools have been liable?
No. 4: These loan repayments for service are shaky and non-reliable, particularly for the professions. Obtaining certification for allowed areas of need can be complicated and, once done, repayment is no guarantee. Hidden in the loan's fine print (and a major assumption) is the implied understanding that such depends on the appropriation of such monies by Congress.
No. 5: The interest rate on these loans are unfortunately variable, leaving borrowers subject to the economic foibles of prevailing markets. Some students had to pay back 18% on loans while the prime interest rate was only 10%. Such loans should be tied to the prime interest rate at the time of borrowing, as should most credit cards, if the goal is to help John Q Public get affordable assistance.
As one who took on over $57,000 in forgivable loans for my education only to find out these government loans would not be forgiven after years of doing service in areas of need, I was appalled to see my wages garnished at a minimum of $3,000 per month until $39,000 had been extracted from my check after I had served my time. I had done over seven years of service making below standard wages in required areas of need as contractually agreed upon. There were thousands of us in the Public Health Service's National Health Service Corps so penalized.
Before others have their loans forgiven, the federal government should be required to pay back monies to those who rendered their service obligations and did not have their loans forgiven as promised. I'm still finding myself hounded by weekly calls from agencies in reference to loans which were first repaid in service, then garnished from the flesh in wages wrongly taken. Now I'm hounded from some list as not having repaid these loans; lord help me because the government has not.
Government honor your word: Repay these loans before others are considered for forgiveness.

[ Sept.1996 ] At the beginning of the third week of our grand across China travel, we headed west for Hami from Dunhuang by bus.
The bus was as battered as the one to Xiahe.
The fare was 64.8 yuan ($1=8.28 yuan in those days).
The straight road in the vast desert was properly paved, but for some reason the bus bumped a lot and the speed was as slow as 40 km/h.
On top of that, on the way, the driver tied a broken minibus and pulled it.
And the rope came loose many times and each time the bus stopped for about 15 minutes to tie up again.
While our bus was struggling, the secondhand Japanese buses carrying tour groups overtook us.
I saw quite a few Sagawa Express (Japanese door to door delivery company) trucks, but I guessed that it was not that Sagawa expanded its business in China, but they gave their old trucks to China.
Not only them, but sometimes I saw luxurious cars such as Mercedes or good RVs overtook our beat-up bus.
Why do the buses for ordinary people have to be so rickety?
We stopped for the lunch break at the unknown place where only 4-5 shacks operating as restaurants were standing by the road in the desert.
Two women working on chili pepper spread on the ground and by them a woman was washing something using a washboard.
She was taking the water from a drum.
The water must be precious here.
After all, this bus journey took 10 hours.
It was very cold at first half and very hot at the second half and because I was holding it, it was a very hard journey for me.
On top of that, the view was so monotonous and boring.
At one point, I saw a white line far away which looked like clouds and gradually I realised that it was a mountain range with snow.
After that I slept for a while, but when I woke up, the view was the same and only the mountain range was nearer.
In the end, the bus passed the mountains seeing it on the right hand side.
That was the only 'event' I saw through the window and the rest was all desert.
We hear the expression 'Green Earth', but in fact, the main feature of the earth is this kind of tough desert.
Finally we arrived in Hami.
First, we bought the bus ticket for the next day.
We got stressed out because the local people cut in the queue without a trace of shame.
Up here, we see many signs written in both Chinese and Uighur languages and the people's face looked more Western.
Hami was a quite large city and we stayed one night in the 168 yuan room in Hami Hotel.
The room was shabby with the problematic bathroom as usual and the hotel restaurant was bleak like the one in the former Soviet Union, but the people working there were nice and friendly which was a saving grace.
Next morning, we got on a bus again.
This time, as soon as we got on it, I felt we entered the Uighur world.
The people sat in front of us were different from Han Chinese.
The short hair girl looked like a Japanese pop singer Hiromi Go and her grandmother looked similar to a Turkish woman I had met in Turkey.
The woman who came to see them off looked like a Japaneses actress Keiko Kishi and his son looked half Western.
The girl's grandfather had even blue eyes.
During this long journey, they gave us a bunch of grapes.
I ate them like they did, without peeling the skin, and got very surprised at the strong taste of them.
The view from the window on the day was a bit better than the day before with the slightly green ground stretched towards the reddish rocky mountains and behind them there were higher purple mountains.
After that, the unfriendly desert came back, but after the sign "68 km to Turpan", the view became more dramatic.
It was more like a scene in cowboy films.
Not only the mountains rose, but also beneath the road the earth was split.
Later I found out that it was not far from Besecurik Thousand Buddha Cave.
On the right hand side, we could see the famous Flaming Mountains, though they were not so red maybe because of the timing.
After 9 hours, at last we were in Turpan.

The first appointment for animals typically takes one hour including the first treatment. During this visit we will speak at length about your pet's health concerns and address any questions you may have about acupuncture and the healing process. We will also discuss your pet's health and personal history in detail, followed by a physical examination and the first treatment.
Ideally your animal will be seen in weekly one-half hour sessions for 4-5 visits. On rare occasions, twice a week may be necessary. During this time, significant signs of progress will likely appear. As patients experience improvement in their condition and enjoy a greater sense of ease in life, treatments may be extended to every other week, every three weeks, monthly and then possibly seasonally depending on the condition. For example, a short term lameness on a young dog may only need 6 treatments total. However, an older animal with arthritis may need ongoing treatments twice a month to stay comfortable.
We know whether acupuncture will work for your animal by the fourth treatment. More will likely be needed but by then we will be seeing changes that show it is working.
Horses generally take about an hour. The first appointment may take longer, depending on how long a history the horse has. We will discuss any physical and emotional concerns the horse has. We also do a physical to help pinpoint the body parts most affected. On rare occasions, we may have you ride. We usually do bodywork first and then finish with acupuncture treatment, though it depends on the individual horse's needs.
Follow up treatments vary. Some horses just need one to two treatments and then the owner can follow up as needed. Severe cases may need weekly treatment for several weeks.
Preventative work is performed from monthly to every three months, depending on the horse. The level of work the horse is in, type of work, confirmation, and level of "accident prone" are all factors for how often we see each horse.
Treatments for humans are very similar but there are a few differences. First, it takes longer to treat people than animals. The first visit with a treatment is closer to two hours and follow up visits an hour to an hour and a half. People also tend to take longer to shift than animals; 5-6 weekly visits, sometimes more, is likely before extending treatment over longer periods. If someone is in a lot of pain, twice weekly treatments for the first two weeks may be needed to get relief as fast as possible.
New people patients have a health questionnaire to fill out. It is very thorough. We go over it at your first appointment as well as go over any other issues that need to be addressed.

*This content is brought to you by American Dream
Don't miss out on living the American dream at the reduced threshold before 30 June 2021.
The sought-after EB-5 Investor Programme has become more accessible for a limited time only. As announced on 22 June 2021, by the US federal court. Immigrants can now diversify their investment portfolios for a lower fee of $500,000 (as opposed to the previous rate of $900,000) to secure green cards, for a limited period only – until 30 June 2021.
This window of opportunity is a result of the success of a lawsuit that aimed to challenge USCIS (United States Citizenship and Immigration Services) regulations which violated the Administrative Procedures Act (APA) signed by the former Secretary of Homeland Security in November 2019. This was based on the fact that the former Secretary wasn't serving his position lawfully, he signed the Final Rule in July 2019.
As a result, the Court has set aside the Final EB-5 Rule and has remanded the matter back to the Department of Homeland Security. This case was decided by US Magistrate Judge, Jacqueline Scott Corley, who abandoned the rule that increased the investment amount from $500,000 to $900,000. Which means that under the Federal Vacancies Reform Act of 1998, the rule is void.
Stuart Ferguson, CEO of American Dream reveals, "This accessible opportunity couldn't come at a better time – since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic we've observed a rise in immigration from South Africa to other countries with America being one of the most desirable locations from an investment perspective as well as lifestyle, education and opportunities."
American Dream was created to offer a streamlined and trusted route for EB-5 investors. Through their comprehensive knowledge, partnerships with industry experts, American Dream is able to assist you in practically every phase of your relocation to the USA, from consultation to education and advice. With this new ruling, American Dream encourages potential investors to act now – contact them today.

EB-5 Visa update
Congress fails to pass EB-5 Reform and Integrity bill thereby leaving a small window to file EB-5 investment green cards at $500,000 under Behring Regional CentreLLC V. Chad Wolf
Historically, the EB-5 Programme was always going to expire after a certain period of time where Congress was going to re-evaluate how the programme is working and what improvements can be made, and whether or not it should in fact go forward. This has historically been the case and today remains the fact where the EB-5 Programme will expire on June 30th.
In 2019 the Department of Homeland Security engaged into rule making following certain protocols in order to change some of the regulations around the EB-5 Programme which included raising of the minimum investment amount from $500,000 to $900,000 under the EB-5 Modernisation Final Rule. In 2019 those rules took effect and since then, filings have been occurring at the $900,000-mark under this EB-5 Modernisation Final Rule.
However, this was challenged by a regional centre (Behring Regional Centre LLC) in federal court. On June 22, 2021, in Behring Regional Centre LLC V. Chad Wolf, et al., the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California ruled that Former Acting Homeland Security Secretary, Kevin McAleenan, was not properly serving in his position under the Federal Vacancies Reform Act when he promulgated the EB-5 Modernisation Final Rule, and accordingly ruled that, the new regulations which took effect on November 21, 2019, must be "set aside."
US Magistrate Judge Jacqueline Scott Corley also ruled that the ratification of the EB-5 Modernisation Final Rule by current Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas in March of 2021 did not cure the defect arising from McAleenan's improper appointment. Find copy of this decision above – this is public information.
The new and current law on EB-5 Programme is therefore the same as it was prior to the failed EB-5 Modernisation Final Rule thereby allowing filings at a reduced investment of $500,000 with a regional centre.
The only body who can change this is Congress.
However, efforts to extend the EB-5 Regional Centre program by Congress were shot down on June 24, 2021, in the Senate when Senator Lindsay Graham (R-South Carolina) objected to unanimous consent. Senators Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) established that bipartisan EB-5 Reform and Integrity bill to pass into law before June 30, 2021.
This leaves us with an EB-5 programme that currently is interpreted under the Behring Regional Centre LLC case until the EB-5 Programme expires June 30, 2021.
We expect the EB-5 Programme to be reauthorised when Congress reconvenes, and we expect the bipartisan EB-5 Reform and Integrity bill to pass then. The new law will supersede the Behring Regional Centre LLC case.
Those who considered EB-5 Green Card as an immigration option need to act before June 30, 2021, as this "discounted" investment amount will increase when Congress takes up the EB-5 Reform and Integrity bill.
We are preparing a slew of applications this weekend for filing on Monday and Tuesday. Reach out to us at [email protected] if you are interested to pursue this option.

Reading in Literary Studies
Solid reading skills are invaluable in Literary Studies. Learn to skim when researching. There is so much information to read that you cannot read it all thoroughly. Skimming will help you eliminate information not useful to your project and locate texts that are promising. Once you've found the latter, read carefully and repeatedly. Mark passages you want to revisit. As you read, keep notes that capture why you think certain sections might be useful to you. Remember, literary scholars value details like why someone chose one word rather than its synonym, so they often write with that same attention to detail. When reading primary texts, again, read repeatedly, mark passages, and take notes.
There are any number of suggestions for effective reading of literature/film on the Internet and in textbooks. Be sure to find a list from a credible source and one that reinforces what you already know but also provides new perspectives or strategies that seem promising. Another resource that I think is more helpful but requires more work is writing in the field. If you find an article in the field you find enlightening and clearly written, pay attention to how it carries out its argument. What kind of introduction does it use? How does the author transition to their thesis? What is the significance of that thesis? Is it important only to literary scholars, or could it be applied to other arenas as well? What kind of evidence, from both primary and secondary sources, is provided? What kind of commentary/analysis follows that evidence?

Sen. Robert Menendez (D-NJ) has long faced accusations of inappropriate relationships with the businesses that got him elected. Now the accusations is likely leading to corruption charges from Barack Obama's Justice Department. This is how some of the media has treated the story:
From CBS News:
CNN: Menendez Promises He's Not "Going Anywhere"
The Justice Department is preparing to bring criminal corruption charges against Sen. Robert Menendez, a New Jersey Democrat, alleging he used his Senate office to push the business interests of a Democratic donor and friend in exchange for gifts.
People briefed on the case say Attorney General Eric Holder has signed off on prosecutors' request to proceed with charges, CNN first reported. An announcement could come within weeks. Prosecutors are under pressure in part because of the statute of limitation on some of the allegations.
Menendez told reporters Friday night he has "always conducted myself appropriately and in accordance with the law."
He added: "And I am not going anywhere."
Menendez said that because of an ongoing investigation he…(read more)
National Review Online: Menendez 4th Senator from NJ in Generation to Face Corruption Charges
The news doesn't surprise anyone who knows ethically challenged New Jersey's politics. Menendez is now the fourth Democratic U.S. Senator from New Jersey to wind up in legal hot water in just over a generation.
Here's the rap sheet, er, rundown: Jon Corzine, a former chairman of Goldman Sachs, served as a New Jersey senator from 2001 to 2006, when he was elected governor for a single term. After being defeated by Chris Christie, an anti-corruption prosecutor, Corzine reentered the business world as head of MF Global, a derivatives trader. But within 18 months, some $1.6 billion went missing from customer accounts after the firm improperly used them to try to plug liquidity gaps. The government sued Corzine in 2013 for his role in MF Global's collapse. Corzine denied any wrongdoing. The bankrupt company eventually had to pay $1.3 billion in fines. Corzine surfaced last summer co-hosting a Hamptons fundraiser with David Brock, the founder of Media Matters.
Robert Torricelli served a single term in the U.S. Senate from 1997 to 2003, during which he was best known for being the single vote that defeated a balanced-budget amendment to the Constitution — an amendment he had previously supported and campaigned on. In 2000, he headed the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee and proved to be an aggressive fundraiser. But his fundraising ties became his undoing in 2002, when it was revealed he had taken illegal contributions from a businessman connected to North Korea. He was admonished by the Senate Ethics Committee for accepting gifts ranging from a television to earrings, and was forced out of his re-election race in October 2002 after the deadline for ballot changes had passed. The New Jersey supreme court nonetheless ruled that former senator Frank Lautenberg could replace Torricelli, thus saving Democrats the seat.
Harrison Williams, a U.S. Senator from 1958 to 1982, was convicted of bribery and conspiracy charges in the Abscam scandal (immortalized in the recent movie American Hustle). After the Senate Ethics Committee recommended he be expelled, Williams resigned in 1982 and served two years in federal prison. Apparently, his political juice then dried up because he was unsuccessful in his efforts to later secure a pardon from President Bill Clinton. He died in 2001… (read more)

Good day, Writers,
I hope you've been following along with The Hero's Journey, for we have reached that point in your story where the hero receives his reward, which is the purpose of his entire ordeal. The Reward is also known as Seizing the Sword. I'll bet you can guess why.
Your hero has triumphed and survived his Supreme Ordeal and now attains that item for which he has worked so diligently. Compensation for all his hard work is finally granted him. He has slayed the Great Beast, what or whoever that was, and your hero deserves his just rewards. In fact, your readers expect him to receive something wonderful for all his efforts.
What is it your hero receives? Well, it could be most anything. Maybe it is the ring which contains ultimate power or even the destruction of that ring as with our famous hobbits. It might be the mighty sword of righteousness as with the young King Arthur in The Sword in the Stone. It could even be true love as we see in almost any boy-meets-girl-boy-loses-girl-boy-gets-girl story. Whatever it is, your hero must realize or receive something of great value as a reward for his torment and success.
As in our example of Luke Skywalker in A New Hope, can you identify his reward? After all, he didn't get the gold or the girl, for that matter, as did Han Solo. What great prize did Luke receive? He found his father and succeeded in turning him from the dark side. For, if you remember, it is Darth Vader who flings The Emperor to his death.
Your protagonist has outsmarted sure destruction at least once, and with the granting of the great reward, your hero has earned the right to celebrate. Were there any celebrations after The Emperor's death? Yeah, boy! You'll see these festivities in story after story and they bring your reader an important and welcome sense of release after so much action and mayhem of the Supreme Ordeal.
Your hero has become whole once again and when the celebrations are over it's time to return to his Ordinary World, isn't it? (Remember way back then?) However, it's often a good thing for the hero to face another, unexpected trial. (Oh no! Not again!) How often has the monster seemingly risen from death only to strike once more before he truly dies? (Remember in Alien when Sigourney Weaver finds the creature in the escape pod?) How exciting can this final surprise attack be to your hero and your readers? What if he almost loses his hard-won gains? (Oh, the drama!) Though it is not necessary, another quick scene of unexpected action can work wonders for your audience. (Go on! Toy with their emotions! You're allowed.) Don't forget, however, the hero must win in the end.
Now, with the reward in hand and with the drunken celebratory revelers once more asleep in their warm, cozy beds, your hero must ready his return to home.
And what does that lead to? It leads to the Road Back, the next step in The Hero's Journey, of course. That is the subject of my next posting relative to The Hero's Journey.
Until then, good writing.

Zendaya Used Fashion to Distance Herself from Disney
Throughout the years, there have been plenty of successful celebrities that come from a Disney background. The mouse house has a penchant for picking performers with star power. However, few have achieved more mainstream success in recent years than Zendaya. After starring in a number of TV shows and movies on the Disney Channel, Zendaya has made a name for herself in Hollywood. In addition to headlining her hit HBO show, Euphoria, she has starred in huge blockbusters like Dune and Spider-Man: No Way Home.
Rather than peaking in adolescence, the "Replay" singer has found even more success in adulthood. In 2020, she even made history, becoming the youngest woman to win an Emmy award for best actress in a drama series. But how did Zendaya manage to break the Disney mold? Part of her success can be attributed to the kind of roles that she takes on. Once her tenure at Disney was complete, she took her time before committing to ther next project.
Zendaya was strategic about which TV shows and movies she chose post-Disney Channel
"I had to hone in on what Zendaya wanted and drive straight toward that," Zendaya told Marie Claire when speaking about the trajectory of her career. "There's something liberating about making decisions for yourself. A huge part of it was to take my time." In the aforementioned interview, Zendaya also spoke of the importance of trusting her own gut.
How fashion helped the 'Euphoria' star create her own persona
Of course, timing and good instincts weren't the only ways that Zendaya shed her Disney skin. The Malcolm & Marie star also credits fashion as something that helped her create distance between herself and her Disney persona. "I wanted to create who I was as a person outside of my Disney character," Zendaya shared. "Fashion helped with that. My stylist, Law Roach, and I created a world beyond what I was known as through clothes."
Zendaya smartly built up her reputation as a fashion icon
In a conversation with Issa Rae, Zendaya elaborated more on how fashion influenced her career. "Another thing that I feel like helped me create an avenue in a lane of my own that was outside of Disney Channel was fashion," Zendaya shared. "Yeah, I would show up to s*** I had no business being at just so I can get the look. You know what I'm saying?"
Continuing on, Zendaya shared how she made statements with her fashion choices despite critique. "I was called for years like a seat filler," she shared. "'She just shows up to everything.' You know what I'm saying. I was like 'Yeah, but I look good though, so how about that. Still on the best dressed list.' Umm so that kind of became my thing to like get out of people seeing me in a certain way was I would just dress very well at things I didn't need to be at. And then my thing was like now I have to prove that I need to be here and I deserve to be here. So that's when it gets fun."
Clearly, Zendaya's choice to break out of her Disney person with fashion worked well for her. We're sure her fans can't wait to see more of her work. Furthermore, as she's become a fashion icon, fans are always eager to see what she'll be wearing also.

The crowdfunding campaign to launch a legal challenge of the UK government's lockdown policy has raised over £100,000 – some of it the result of a huge spike in donations during Prime Minister Boris Johnson's lacklustre Sunday night address to the nation.
Simon Dolan, the multi-millionaire businessman and Le Mans racing champion behind the campaign, says that the British people have been 'completely manipulated' and that it's no good removing the lockdown in stages as Boris announced on Sunday.
"It's time for us to lift the lockdown now," he tells me.
Since launching his Crowdjustice campaign last month, Dolan claims to have received hate mail, including death threats, from people apparently so terrified of Chinese coronavirus that they want the lockdown to continue indefinitely.
But he fears the economic fallout of Boris's lockdown policy is going to do far more damage than the coronavirus.
At the moment, he says, lots of people think:
"This furlough thing is fantastic because though I haven't got my job now because of this invisible silent killer from China… so my wages are guaranteed and it's lovely."
But this will change in 12 months' time when reality bites and businesses need to find some way to pay back a mountain of accumulated debt — the worst since the Second World War — and people realise their job losses are permanent.
Dolan's concern is that the British have been steered to disaster on a false prospectus.
His Judicial Review will ask:
- Whether the lockdown is unlawful
- Whether the tests for lifting it are too narrow, failing to take into account its economic and social impacts
- Whether it contravenes the European Convention of Human rights, which cover the right to liberty, family life, education and property
He anticipates a tough battle which he believes is more likely to be "won in the media than the courtroom."
Indeed, he argues, its benefits are already being felt as the government is pressured into disclosing the rationales behind its decision making.

WASHINGTON — The Memphis-area former police officer arrested Sunday near the White House with a cache of weapons after claiming to have an appointment with top administration officials was ordered held until Thursday when he'll appear before a judge for a preliminary hearing.
Timothy Bates, 37, of Collierville, Tennessee, made a brief appearance Monday afternoon in the D.C. Superior Court after he was charged with a felony offense of illegally carrying a rifle.
Bates is a retired police officer who was involuntarily committed twice this year for mental health reasons, according to court documents filed by the U.S. Attorney's Office in D.C.
Bates was arrested Sunday morning shortly after 7 a.m. Sunday after uniformed Secret Service officers observed him appearing to relieve himself outside the Renwick Gallery at the corner of Pennsylvania Avenue and 17th Street, near the White House.
Bates told officers and agents he was headed to the White House, and wanted to meet with National Security Agency Director Admiral Mike Rogers and Defense Secretary James Mattis "for advice on missing paychecks and how to get the dog chip out of my head," according to the incident report.
Police said Bates told the Secret Service he had weapons in his vehicle — a 2009 silver Nissan with Fraternal Order of Police tags — and he consented to a search.
Police located a total of nine firearms, including a Bushmaster assault rifle, a Tec-9 pistol with a silencer, a Vulcan machine gun and an AK-47, according to court documents. In addition, police said Bates had brass knuckles, a black jack and three knives in his car.
At the scene, Bates told authorities that he is in the "MK Ultra" project purportedly managed by the CIA and had chips implanted in his head that caused headaches, shaking and convulsions according to charging documents.
The charging documents said Bates was medically retired from his police officer job in 2013 and was involuntarily committed for mental health reasons in Tennessee in February 2017. The documents also cited a second incident in July 2017 when Bates was observed behaving erratically by law enforcement.
Johnny Crumby, president of the Tennessee State Lodge of the Fraternal Order Of Police, told WTOP earlier Bates joined the FOP in 2011, as a member of Lodge 35. When contacted by WTOP, a spokesperson for Lodge 35 said "no comment."
NBC Washington reported Bates left the Memphis Police Department in 2013 after 13 years on the force.
After he was arrested Sunday, Bates was taken to a D.C. facility "for mental observation."

We're now just days away from crowning the latest winner of 'Big Brother', and one of the six remaining housemates will be taking home the prize money of over £102,100, knocked down from £150,000 as part of this week's Cash Bomb themed twist.
During Thursday night's live final, Emma Willis will announce that either Chloe Wilburn, Cristian MJC, Danny Wisker, Jack McDermott, Joel Williams or Nick Henderson is the champion of this year's series - and who wins is entirely up to us.
Over the past nine weeks we've seen the original 16 housemates whittled down to just six, with a whole lot of 'Time Bomb' twists thrown in for good measure. We've had arguments, romance and the shock return of last year's controversial victor, Helen Wood.
This year's 'BB' finalists
But who should be Helen's successor to the 'BB' throne this Thursday? Let us know in the poll below…
While Chloe has been named the bookies' current favourite, days before the final, the only thing that's certain is that Jack won't be leaving the house empty-handed, after scooping a substantial amount of money in the Cash Bomb twist.
Jack had previously been voted the public's "winner" in one of the first 'Time Bomb' twists of the series, just days after entering the house. He was offered the chance to take home a luxury sports car by Big Brother, in return for his place in the house, but doing so would result in the eventual winner leaving with nothing, so he chose to stay.

We wanted a beautiful wedding, but we were on a tight budget. As we researched, \"DIY Brides\" was a regular web search for us. On many wedding blogs, we saw FiftyFlowers referred to with high praise. My daughter and I decided on the look we wanted by emailing photos back and forth. I know I spent what felt like weeks online researching every wedding website possible. We settled on a design and made a prototype using silk flowers from Michaels. This enabled us to know how many flowers we needed to order. We ordered about 4 weeks before the wedding with our hearts in our throats. This was honestly the most stressful part of the wedding just wondering if we could pull it off. Two days before the wedding the flowers arrived exactly as we were told. We followed FiftyFlowers directions to a tee. I had bought 14 buckets from Lowe\'s to use to hydrate the flowers. The next day all the bridesmaids, aunts, friends, and grandmothers assembled at our house. I had all the vases prepped with oasis, tools handy, and all other floral design necessities at hand. Being organized, it went fairly fast. We worked from 10-3 with a sumptuous lunch break which was brought in so we could keep working. We had a great time! We made 7 bridesmaid\'s bouquets, the Bridal bouquet, 9 bouts, 20 centerpieces and three other large arrangements for tables. A friend came and got all the leftover flowers and had enough to fashion three beautiful arrangements, in oasis cages, for the arbor at the wedding sight. Before I went to bed, I watered all the vases again to make sure the flowers stayed hydrated. We transported the flowers the next day to the venue where they made a stunning sight. We would do this again in a heartbeat. It was fun and much easier because of all the help we had. I have one more daughter to marry off, so I will be ordering again!

Not just a show...more like a relationship. Extraordinary! Review by Kate Copstick for The Scotsman
Ever since a fairly well known performer turned round and said to me "I identify as a lesbian who sleeps with men," I have worried about labels. Ultimately labels are for people who aren't interested enough to find out for themselves. So whether you ultimately decide Stevie Jay is a comic or a poet or a philosopher or a complete wanker is up to you. What I will tell you is that I had a really great experience making that decision for myself.
This is not just a show. It is more like a relationship. For a couple of hours in a room above a pub in Earl's Court, you simply feel as if you have just found a new best friend who is the funniest, warmest, nicest, and most fascinating man you have ever met.
He is American—which, of course means he tells you things in the first five minutes that you could celebrate a Ruby Anniversary with an Englishman and not know about him. He is barefoot. He is wired. And it seems he is really talking to you, personally—to the extent that I found myself with an almost overwhelming urge to talk back to him. Thankfully, for the rest of the audience, I quelled my urge. No other performer has ever had so personal an effect on me. Extraordinary!
He calls the evening Life Love Sex Death....and other works in progress and it is all of that and more. He quotes Erich Fromm's 'The Art of Loving', he does abdominal crunches to an appallingly funny dance mix dub of Schindler's List, he talks about dogs and life and sex and chakras. What he does on the floor with a pine barstool will make you see the possibilities of an afternoon in Ikea in a whole new light. And when his guardian angel materialises, he is called Neal. His material is un-Englishly confessional, even occasionally confrontational, but his comedic skills mean it is never California-cloyingly so.
Prepare to laugh, care, and help Neal get Stevie back into his body.

Hydrological extremes (droughts and floods), have major impacts on society and ecosystems and are expected to increase in frequency and severity with climate change. An extreme case of systems experiencing both extremes are intermittent rivers, which range from near-perennial rivers with infrequent, short periods of zero flow to rivers experiencing flow only episodically following large rainfall events. Although floods and droughts are at the extreme end of the hydrological spectrum, they are governed by different processes, which means that they operate on different spatial and temporal scales and that different analysis methods and indices are needed to characterise them. But there are also many similarities and links between the two extremes that are increasingly being studied.
This general session on hydrological extremes aims to bring together the two communities in order to learn from the similarities and differences between flood and drought research. We aim to increase the understanding of the governing processes of both hydrological extremes, find robust ways of modelling and analysing floods and droughts, assess the influence of global change (including climate change, land use change, and other anthropogenic influences) on floods and droughts, and study the socio-economic and environmental impacts of hydrological extremes. There is a clear need to study the hydrology of natural intermittent and ephemeral streams to characterize their flow regimes, to understand the main origins of intermittency and how it shapes their biodiversity and ecosystem processes and to assess the consequences of altered flow intermittency (both increased and decreased) in river systems.
This session is jointly organised by the Panta Rhei Working Groups "Understanding Flood Changes", "Changes in Flood Risk", and "Drought in the Anthropocene" and will further stimulate scientific discussion on change detection and attribution of hydrological extremes and the feedbacks between hydrological extremes and society. The session is linked to the European Low Flow and Drought Group of UNESCO´s IHP-VIII FRIEND-Water Program, which aims to promote international drought research, and the SMIRES (Science and Management of Intermittent Rivers & Ephemeral streams) COST Action that focuses on better understand intermittent and ephemeral streams.
Public information: | Our keynote speakers are Julia Hall (Vienna University of Technology, Austria) on European floods and Henny Van Lanen (Wageningen University, NL) on international drought research. The presentations of Catherine Sefton and Benedikt Heudorfer are classified as solicited talks, as a "label of excellence" for early-career researchers. |
