The anarchist effort, like any effort, is one focused on social organization, these organizations should be voluntary and cooperative, and it is through these groups that we will establish a better world. (From : HoldOffHunger.)
• "...the agelong oppression of the masses by a small privileged group has always been the result of the inability of the oppressed to agree among themselves to organize with others for production, for enjoyment and for the possible needs of defense against whoever might wish to exploit and oppress them. Anarchism exists to remedy this state of affairs..."
• "...we anarchists do not want to emancipate the people; we want the people to emancipate themselves. We do not believe in the good that comes from above and imposed by force; we want the new way of life to emerge from the body of the people and correspond to the state of their development and advance as they advance. It matters to us therefore that all interests and opinions should find their expression in a conscious organization and should influence communal life in proportion to their importance."
• "Workers will never be able to emancipate themselves so long as they do not find in union the moral, economic and physical strength that is needed to subdue the organized might of the oppressors."
What is most significant, it seems to me, is the earnest attention paid to the Children and Family as a subject, the desire of parents to be Informed and thereby do their best, rather than following their wit and impulse; or to say this another way, what is significant is the importance assigned in our society to Psychology itself? for Psychology is still by and large the family-psychology that Freud made it discussing the problems of jealousy, infantile dependency authority, submissiveness and rebelliousness, and sibling competition: and problems of spite, moral prejudice and other reaction-formations springing from instinctual deprivation. This interest in the Children is of course hopeful, for the increase of wisdom cannot fail to remedy... (From : http://www.tao.ca/~freedom/goodman.html.)
An Essay on the Approaching Revolution
I In Gospel language "the age" and "the end of the age" does not signify the end and beginning of a century, but the end of one view of life, of one faith, of one method of social intercourse between men, and the commencement of another view of life, another faith, another method of social intercourse. [...] Every revolution begins when Society has outgrown the view of life on which the existing forms of social life were founded, when the contradictions between life such as it is, and life as it should be, and might be, become so evident to the majority that they feel the impossibility of continuing existence under former conditions. The revolution begins in that nation wherein the majority of men become conscious of this contradiction. As ... (From : Anarchy Archives.)

In recent decades, both in the United States and abroad, the academy and a subculture of self-styled postmodernist intellectuals have nourished an entirely new ensemble of cultural conventions that stem from a corrosive social, political, and moral relativism.

Marx's famous address "The Civil War in France", written in the name of the General Council of the International Working Mens Association two days after the crushing of the Paris Commune, is an inspiring text for Libertarians.

Although overshadowed by Joe Biden's big party for his Copyright buddies, the good folks at the House Judiciary Committee staged their own holiday party for Hollywood. Since "p2p" is now passe, the Judiciary's Secret Santa brought Hollywood a whole new villain to attack in the name of piracy, streaming media. (Hey everyone, remember when 'streaming media' was the good way to get content online because it could be protected unlike that evil peer-2-peer stuff so Hollywood pretended they loved streaming media so they could outlaw peer-2-peer? Boy, we were so young back then . . .) For entertainment, they invited Justin.TV CEO Michael Sibel to take part in a little Xmass Pageant where he got to play the Christian Martyr while ESPN, MLB, and Ultimate Fighting Championship (the folks who have rights to Las Vegas fights) got to play the lions.
To avoid the appearance favoring big business interest, the Committee also heard from Professor Christopher Yoo of the University of Pennsylvania Law School. Yoo's testimony and responses to the Committee questions recommended things familiar to folks who follow the field, and his scholarship on this subject. The DMCA doesn't go far enough and should be reopened. We need to change the rules on "notice and take down" to make ISPs more responsive. Anyone accused of "piracy" ought to be subject to extraordinary rendition, etc.
But what caught my particular attention was the report in Communications Daily (no link). According to Comm Daily, Professor Yoo figured that while he was sitting on Santa's knee (for an interview, not at the Judiciary Committee), he should put in a plug for Hollywood's current favorite Xmass present, SOC.
Allowing a waiver of the FCC's selectable output control rules, would also help curb the problem, Yoo said in the interview. He told the committee that the analog component video ports on set-top boxes are typically the first step in distributing unauthorized live programming online. Analog copy protection systems are "generally relatively easy to evade," and digital content protection systems used in connection with HDMI and DVI ports are more effective, he said.
What makes this interesting is that whenever we at PK or the folks from the Consumers Electronic Association or anyone of the more than 2500 other indviduals, businesses, groups and trade associations opposed to granting the SOC waiver bring up this "slippery slope" argument, we get dismissed as whacko info-commies with all sorts of crazy conspiracy theories. The MPAA and the FCC staff keep repeating to us over and over that this is just a narrowly tailored waiver request so that stuff not on TV will get on TV earlier. No one would ever ask to extend it to something already on TV, and — of course — the good folks at the Media Bureau can't imagine that they would ever grant such a waiver.
Well, apparently we're not the only ones with whacky delusions about how powerful content providers might belly up to the bar to get a SOC waiver. And if the FCC accepts the current "piracy happens, so it makes sense it comes out of the analog outputs, so it makes sense for us to allow content providers to protect themselves by shutting off the analog outputs," I'm not sure what legal precedent they are suddenly going to rely on to deny ESPN or MLB when they file based on grant of the MPAA's SOC waiver.
That's the problem with making law by waiver by granting waivers that impact the entire industry — even if you don't see the harm. No matter how sincerely you think you can stop, it's damn difficult to refuse the next waiver, that pushes the bar down further. And a few years from now, we're standing around in the place you promised we'd never be, sighing helplessly that, well, really, you can't do anything about it because you granted all those waivers to other people so how do you turn the next one down?
Here's a clue. You avoid getting there by not starting down the slope in the first place. Take a lesson from Chris Yoo's unsolicited advice to grant a more extensive SOC waiver, look where this is going, and stop before it gets too late.

Barça News
Barcelona are 'pessimistic' about the renewal of Ousmane Dembele
FC Barcelona have kickstarted their efforts to tie down Ousmane Dembele to a new contract. The two parties were locked in negotiations back in January, but the attacker's exorbitant demands had left the board puzzled.
Since then, Dembele has enjoyed a swift turnaround, with the attacker being involved in nine goals in the last seven league matches.
He has played a critical role in Barcelona's renaissance under Xavi this year, with the forward even starring in the 4-0 win over Real Madrid, bagging two assists.
Dembele's form has compelled Barcelona to restart contract talks. The player himself is believed to be keen on prolonging his stay at Camp Nou and has a good relationship with Xavi.
However, according to a recent report from Onze TV3, Barcelona are not fully confident of their chances of tying Dembele down to a new contract, primarily due to the huge finances involved in the operation.
Although the Frenchman is keen on staying beyond the summer, he is still demanding a lucrative contract.
It has made the operation quite tricky, as Barça are currently experiencing a financial crisis and will be wary of spending lavishly on player wages, especially in light of their spending limit being reduced to a negative figure by La Liga.
Barcelona have struggled in the past by handing out lucrative contracts to players such as Philippe Coutinho and Antoine Griezmann. It has created a sense of pessimism within the camp when it comes to the renewal of Dembele.
Xavi has given his order of priority when it comes to player renewals, with Dembele topping the list. But as the attacker continues to hold out for a lucrative deal, a renewal might only be a distant dream for the Catalans.

23rd May, 2019, marked a auspicious day in the electoral history of India. The high mandate received by the NDA coalition gave a befitting reply to the opposition parties which had targeted BJP and PM Modi with unsubstantiated allegations. The BJP has won close to 47% of the total vote share achieving a higher mandate that what the party had received in 2014 general elections. Stunning the opposition with the landslide victory, BJP is sweeping away with votes and seats in major states like Uttar Pradesh where Mahagathbandhan existed to oust BJP from the state. BJP not only performed exceptionally well in the state, but took away more 50% of the seats in the state. The grand project of the opposition, mahagathbandhan, received even grander defeat at the hands of BJP.
The BJP was predicted to repeat its performance of 2014 in Uttarakhand as it was leading on all five seats in Uttarakhand. Even former chief minister Harish Rawat of the Congress was trailing by a margin of over one lakh votes in Nainital. Certain of clinching all the seven seats in the national capital, the BJP continued to dominate the trends with two of its candidates taking the lead by a margin of over 3.40 lakh votes. AAP since the beginning of the electoral campaigns was overconfident that it would secure a high mandate in Delhi and in this wake, even rejected the coalition with Congress party. The results were exactly opposite, even after the Atishi Marlena fiasco and strategies to garner sympathy votes, AAP trailed with 3 lakh votes on most seats.
BJP was not only fighting the political opposition but a slew of arm-chair activists and twitter warriors with delusions of grandeur. These twitter warriors who claimed to oppose BJP on ideological grounds, came out in support of some candidates with a really shady behaviour. One suc activist is Swara Bhasker, infamous for her 'placard' campaign against Hindus in the wake of Kathua rape case.
Swara Bhasker suddenly came out as "supporters" for many of these candidates who faced defeat in the elections. With her newfound political knowledge, she started making comments with no head or tail. The idea of being "out of the box" took a toll on the actress when most of the candidates she campaigned for, finally lost with big margins.
The supposed rising stars like Kahaiyan Kumar, experienced heavyweights like Digvijay Singh, and the knight in shining with hyped track record armors like Atishi, were among those that the actress had campaigned for, but they were seen biting the dust in their constituencies, trailing with a surprising margin of 4 lakhs and above votes. Sawara Bhasker has been a staunch critic of PM Modi and came out to support most of the members of the opposite parties. She became the flag bearer of liberal upsurge during the election process. Swara Bhasker campaigned for 5 candidates in all during these elections and every one of these candidates suffered defeat. One of the candidates, Swara Bhasker campaigned for received just 17,000 votes.
Efforts by the Congress, which also initially faced infighting, to woo voters with Bollywood glamour by fielding actress Urmila Matondkar and campaigns by actors such as Sanjay Dutt for his sister Priya Dutt do not seem to have impressed the voters much. Despite her star power, actress Urmila Matondkar was trailing by a massive 3.95 lakh votes against BJP MP Gopal Shetty in Mumbai North. Well, elections and movies have one thing in common, if you don't perform well, you go home.
At the end all of this, everything sums up in one single statement, India has discarded the India hating left liberals like Swara Bhasker who will now have to decide if politics is still a profession that most of them should pursue. Left is finally on the verge of being cleansed at the political front and soon from many other areas of people's interest. 2019 elections was a message to the entire liberal brigade that India chooses development and progress over corruption and bigotry.

We all headed to town on the bus around 9.30am. Some were ziplining or hiking, but I had plans with Alisha & James to go up to the peak of the mountain in the gondola. It was amazing views from up there!
Then we went on a chair lift to even further up to the top. It was freezing but pretty spectacular.
Then we did another gondola from 1 peak to the other, which is the longest spanned gondola in the world (no pillars). It even had a glass bottom!
In the afternoon we did a buggy ride through the mountains hoping to see a bear. We didn't but it was still an awesome ride! Fully kitted out in rain gear (coz it was starting to rain), helmet & goggles. Mad fun!
The group met at 7.30pm for dinner at the Spaghetti Factory.
We're having an early night as we have a 6.45am departure! I'm on a high after such an awesome day!!

If you have an idea that could potentially help others but needs a little research and development (R&D) then you are a prime candidate for SBIR Contracts for NIH & CDC. These opportunities are fairly straightforward to apply to and offer regular dates for proposal submission. However, you do need to be aware of eligibility requirements and registration requirements before you consider submitting your proposal.
To receive SBIR funds, each awardee of an SBIR Phase I or Phase II award must qualify as a small business concern (SBC) at the time of award and at any other time set forth in SBA's regulations at 13 CFR 121.701-121.705. Each applicant must qualify as a small business for research or research and development purposes and certify to this on the Cover Sheet (Appendix A) of the proposal. Additionally, each awardee must submit a certification stating that it meets the size, ownership and other requirements of the SBIR Program at the time of award, and at any other time set forth in SBA's regulations at 13 CFR 121.701-705.
For Phase I, a minimum of two-thirds of the research or analytical effort must be performed by the awardee. For Phase II, a minimum of one-half of the research or analytical effort must be performed by the awardee. The percentage of work will be measured by total contract costs.
For both Phase I and II, the principal investigator must be primarily employed with the SBC. This means that more than one half (50%) of the employee's time is spent with the small business. Primary employment with the SBC precludes full-time employment at another organization.
For both Phase I and Phase II, all research or research and development work must be performed by the SBC and its subcontractors in the United States. Based on rare and unique circumstances, deviations from these performance requirements may occur. These must be approved in writing by the funding agreement office. This is only after consultation with the agency SBIR Program Manager/Coordinator.
Contracts Required Registrations
- Proposing firms must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) at https://www.sam.gov. The registration should reflect "Purpose of Registration: All Awards" and not "Purpose of Registration: Federal Assistance Awards Only". SAM allows firms to provide basic information on business capabilities and financial information. It is in the firm's interest to visit SAM and ensure that all the firm's data is up to date to avoid delay in the award.
- Confirmation of your company's Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number is necessary to verify your email address in SAM. For information on DUNS, see: https://fedgov.dnb.com/webform.
- Proposals do not need to include proof of SAM registration – however, proposals should note the company's DUNS number, so that the Government may verify active SAM registration at any time.
- SBA Company Registry – Required Prior to Proposal Submission (Include Proof of Registration in Business Proposal)
- Applicants to the SBIR and STTR programs are required to register at the SBA Company Registry prior to proposal submission and attach proof of registration. Completed registrations will receive a unique SBC Control ID and .pdf file.
- If applicants have previously registered, they are still required to attach proof of registration. The SBA Company Registry recommends verification with SAM (see above) although a SAM account is not required to complete the registration.
- In order to be verified with SAM, your email address must match one of the contacts in SAM. If you are unsure what is listed in SAM for your company, verify the information on the SAM site.
- Download and save your SBA registry PDF locally. The name will be in the format of SBC_123456789.pdf, where the 9-digit number reflects your firm's SBC Control ID.
- A copy of the completed SBA Company Registration for your organization must be submitted as part of your Business Proposal.
- Funding Agreement Certification & Life Cycle Certifications – Required Prior to Award and During Contract Life Cycle The SBA SBIR/STTR Policy Directive requires the collection of certain information from firms at time of award and during the award life cycle through use of the SBIR Funding Agreement Certification and the SBIR Life Cycle Certification, which can be viewed here: https://grants.nih.gov/grants/forms/manage_a_small_business_award.htm.

With the holiday season almost officially upon us, thoughts turn to dreaded holiday shopping. The Sony Playstation 3 and the Nintendo Wii are destined to find their way onto many shopping lists. Both of these videogame consoles were just released and the two could not be more different. The Playstation 3 is a black monolith filled to the brim with bleeding-edge components and has a price tag to match. The Nintendo Wii is a small white box that lacks stunning graphics but makes up for it in genuine innovation and a substantially lower price.

In case you hadn't already realized just how many of your friends at Dartmouth are from the Eastern seaboard (or, in particular, the New York metropolitan area), fall's first holiday vacation makes the geographic breakdown of the College's student body abundantly clear. At Dartmouth, Thanksgiving isn't about people coming together to share in a bountiful harvest; it's about the kids who have relatives within driving distance of Hanover visiting their families for home-cooked Rockwellian spreads, whilst the rest of the population tries to decide whether an outrageously expensive roundtrip plane ticket is worth it to avoid gnawing EBAs pizza crusts on the last Thursday of November.

As you may have noticed, I don't do a lot of college football columns. It isn't that I don't like college football; It's just that I spend most early Saturday afternoons curled up in the dark with an icepack, or wondering why I woke up on the floor curled around a dirty sweatshirt with a 30-pack as a pillow, or in the bathroom furiously scrubbing off the penis that somebody drew on my face in permanent marker. But with the Michigan-Ohio State football game coming up this Saturday, I thought I, like every other sports columnist in the known universe, ought to do a column on it. So, let's break this down, OSC-style.

To the Editor:
As a Haitian-American woman, a four-year member of the Dartmouth women's crew team and a passionate ally of the Native and Latino communities, my commitment to all three groups compels me to be that "vox clamantis in deserto."
In our Dartmouth community, which puts a very high premium on pluralism, we should also tolerate and seek to understand a diverse range of opinions on the nature of diversity. A point that too often gets lost in the larger debates about mascots, affirmative action and the like is that there is more than one conception of diversity, and not all of them are positive. In the quest to achieve an optimal learning environment, we sometimes counterproductively limit the meaning of diversity to certain racial groups and skin colors.

Sex, drugs and rock'n'roll: these are some of the things that viewers found in the Department of Theater and Dance's production of Hair, which ran for the first weekend of May in Memorial Auditorium. The play has become infamous over the years for its atypical narrative structure, its professions of free love and, of course, its nude scene at the end of Act I. I have to admit that the rumor of live nudity was one of the things that attracted me to the show, but after I watched the production, I found out that Hair was so much more than I was expecting. It was an extravaganza of music and emotion and flower-power atmosphere. The production was truly groovy and one of the most fun shows I have ever been to.
The best part of Hair was the energy of the show. Even before the production started, a cast-member was seated on stage "criss-cross applesauce," shirtless, wearing a Native American headdress while psychedelic changing lights were projected onto the walls of the theater. From that point on, the cast kept the energy of the '60s constantly flowing. Though the show lacked a standard narrative structure for a musical and was much more focused on the music rather than dialogue between the actors, the music was so great and passionate that I felt engaged for the entire time, even when I was unsure of where the plot was going or if there was a plot at all.
One of the interesting aspects of the show for me as well was the social critique of the hippie movement present in it. The show did embrace the sex-and-drug infused cultural moment of peace with songs about protest, getting high and making love. However, much of the dialogue brought into question whether hippie communes were as utopian as tradition makes them out to be. Even though hippie culture was all about free love and non-violence, Sheila and Berger's romance criticized the effectiveness of polyamory and showed that even those who claim that they are pacifists can become violent.
The major narrative arc focuses on Claude's crisis: to "grow up" and respond to his draft call, going to Vietnam, or to live his loose and free life in New York. This plot turned out to be thought-provoking and it was especially aided by props like the massive American flag that was suspended center-stage before the end of the play and the fall of snow during the production's last moments of the play.
In terms of performance, it was an overall on-point production. I loved the inclusion of a live and costumed band on stage, which gave the vibe that the hippies were making not only their own community, but providing their own music. The cast's interactions with the audience were also a special addition and helped to create the psychedelic vibe of the show. Berger both ran out into the audience at the beginning and then swung out into the audience on a rope; the cast often walked back and forth from the stage through the aisles, sometimes even on the armrests of the audience's seats. It was a really interactive performance, especially at the end when the characters invited viewers to sing and dance to "Let the Sunshine In" on stage after curtain call. That was one of my best theater memories and I'm sure others feel the same as well.
I have very few critiques for the performance. When I saw it on May 1 at 7:30 p.m. , the first song of the second act "Electric Blues" was unpleasant because of the intense strobe lights that were used. They hurt my eyes and distracted me from the quality of the actors' singing. Additionally, the actors who played Sheila and Claude could have been a bit stronger. Claude was sometimes hard to hear because he seemed more soft-spoken than those who played Berger and Woof, so sometimes his songs and lines fell a little flat because they were hard to hear. Sheila was good overall, but at times, her solos could have been stronger.
I came to Hair to get in on the experience that I heard so much about and I was not disappointed. From start to finish, it was not only a solid performance in music and acting, but a great performance in energy from every single member of the cast. Here's to long, beautiful, shining, gleaming, streaming, flaxen, waxen Hair!

Art and Practice as Anxiety
Anxiety . Even the word itself can throw some people into panic mode. As artists, we are used to living on the edge where anxiety also lives. But we have a choice, a choice to invite anxiety in, or to let it go. I was recently reading something from a musician who was hired for a big time gig alongside many musicians they had always looked up to. Their first thought was not, "This is great," but, "What am I doing here?" This is a typical response when we let anxiety take over. What am I doing here? It's so easy to get hung up on this. But the important thing to look at is that someone thought you belonged there and hired you. Now you have a choice: to accept that you belong there, or not. Everyone belongs somewhere, so why not here, why not in this particular situation? Everyone has something unique to offer. Why can't your uniqueness be enough? Ah, but anxiety taps you on the shoulder and whispers in your ear, "You don't belong here." The first thing to le

Even for the general observer, it is one of Lucian Freud's most tender paintings, depicting his teenage lover pregnant with his unborn child.
For his daughter, Bella Freud, the portrait of Bernadine Coverley is even more poignant, capturing the moment her mother was cherished by "the love of her life" for all the world to see.
The remarkable painting, Pregnant Girl, one of Freud's most famous from the period, is to be sold at auction for the first time, set to fetch up to £10 million at Sotheby's more than half a century after it was created.
And with it comes more details of a little-known moment in the artist's life, after he fell in love in his late 30s with a former convent schoolgirl and teenage runaway who would end up as mother to two of his children.
Bernadine Coverley went on to move with her daughters, Bella and Esther, to Morocco, with her later life captured for posterity by Kate Winslet in the film Hideous Kinky.
Little has been known about the true nature of her relationship with Freud, described now by Bella as "a very happy time" in her mother's life.
While Freud was well known for leaving women in his wake, he and Coverley remained friends for life. She died from cancer just four days after him in 2011.
Bella Freud, now an internationally famous fashion designer, said her mother had been proud of the portrait, which captures a happy time in her life.
"My mother and father separated when I was about two years old and I have no memory or image of them together," she said. "I like that my mother was so clearly in my father's thoughts and gaze, that at this time she was really important to him.
"She didn't talk about the painting but she was proud of it, I could tell by the tone of her voice when she first told me that it was of her pregnant with me in that picture.
"It must have been a very happy time in her life, being pregnant with the man she loved and him wanting her to be there and paint her. I like thinking of her feeling cherished, there wasn't a lot of that in her childhood."
Coverley had been sent to a convent boarding school at the age of 4, trying to run away twice. She was 17 when Freud painted her, reclining on a green sofa in his studio in Delamere Terrace, West London.
When asked about her parents' relationship, Bella Freud added: "My mother was very young, about 15 or 16 when they met.
"She used to go to Soho with a friend and she met my father in one of the bars or pubs, probably the French pub.
"I don't remember them together when I was little but when I was 11 and we lived in Sussex my father used to visit occasionally and they got on really well.
"It was great seeing them like that and my mother clearly finding him very amusing and interesting still.
"I believe they got on incredibly well at first, my father was really keen on my mother but he still had relationships with other women.
"I think he was undoubtedly the love of her life even though she did things that he disapproved of like taking us to live in Morocco."
The painting, created in 1960-1, was never owned by the family, but passed from Freud to his Marlborough Gallery in the 1960s, where it was sold to a private collector.
Its current owners, who acquired it in 1983, will now offer it for sale at Sotheby's; the first time it has been available to the public to buy.
Experts have estimated it will sell for between £7m and £10m, proclaiming "there is arguably no other portrait by Freud that is more gripping, more tender, and more laden with such emotional depth".
Oliver Barker, Sotheby's deputy chairman in Europe, said: "This astonishingly beautiful painting embodies the profound bond between Lucian and Bernadine that lasted a lifetime."
The painting captures Coverley while she was pregnant with Bella, now a 54-year-old fashion designer with a son of her own.
Shortly after this painting, Freud also captured her as a newborn in a similarly-famous portrait Baby on a Green Sofa.
The portrait now due to be sold, Pregnant Girl, is described by Sotheby's as "a defining work in Freud's oeuvre", previously exhibited in "every major point of Freud's exhibition history" including at the Hayward Gallery in 1974, Tate in 2003 and the National Portrait Gallery in 2012.
Mr Barker said it was "very rare" for such an important portrait by Freud to emerge for sale, adding he believed it would have "universal appeal" to buyers around the world.
The painting will be sold at Sotheby's, London, on February 10.

Rangeland Energy Begins Construction of Crude Oil and Frac Sand Terminal in the Delaware Basin
Rangeland Energy
Sugar Land, TX – May 13, 2014 - Rangeland Energy announced today that the company has started construction of the Rangeland Integrated Oil System (RIO System) in the Delaware Basin region of Southeast New Mexico and West Texas. The multipart system is designed to transport the Basin's crude oil and condensate production to multiple downstream markets across the U.S. via outbound rail and pipeline. Construction of the system's rail facility is underway. The rail facility will provide services for outbound crude oil and condensate and inbound frac sand.
Transload Service to Begin in October
Known as the RIO Hub, the 300-acre rail terminal is located near Loving, New Mexico, in the center of the basin's drilling and production activity. The RIO Hub will serve the Delaware Basin by providing storage, blending and rail loading facilities for outbound crude oil and condensate. Fee-for-service customers include crude oil marketers, refiners and producers. Truck-to-rail transload operations are expected to begin in October 2014 with an initial capacity of 10,000 barrels per day. As customer demand increases, Rangeland will build high-speed unit train loading facilities at the RIO Hub which will bring capacity to more than 100,000 barrels per day.
Rangeland's RIO Hub will also provide frac sand suppliers with unloading, storage and truck loading facilities for moving product into the Delaware Basin by rail. Initial rail-to-truck transload service will accommodate more than 500,000 tons of frac sand per year. When unit train service becomes available and as demand increases, Rangeland will expand the frac sand infrastructure at the RIO Hub to accommodate more than 1 million tons of frac sand per year. The RIO Hub will be served by the BNSF Railway.
CEO Perspective
"We are very excited to kick off construction of the RIO System. The Delaware Basin is one of the fastest growing production areas in the Permian. These facilities will give our customers the ability to effectively manage their crude oil supply by providing points of liquidity and connectivity to multiple downstream markets," said Christopher Keene, Rangeland Energy's president and CEO. "We saw the power of creating optionality for customers when we developed the COLT System in the Bakken Shale. The market response was outstanding. The RIO System is similar and a direct result of our success in the Bakken. We think the RIO System is well positioned to stay ahead of drilling and production schedules in the Delaware Basin and will provide our customers with the flexibility they need to maximize the value of their products."
Comments from New Mexico's Governor
"New Mexico welcomes Rangeland Energy's investment in our state," said Governor Susana Martinez. "The services Rangeland will provide will further increase New Mexico's ability to develop its energy sources, grow our economy and continue to provide very well-paying jobs for New Mexico families."
RIO Pipeline to Connect RIO Hub to Midland
Rangeland is also pursuing its RIO Pipeline project which will connect the RIO Hub at Loving, New Mexico, to market centers in Midland, Texas, and beyond. The first 30-mile leg of the RIO Pipeline will connect the RIO Hub to the RIO State Line Terminal, a gathering hub at the Texas-New Mexico border where Rangeland will provide tankage and truck unloading facilities. An additional 104 miles of pipeline will connect the RIO State Line Terminal to the RIO Midland Terminal, which will provide connections to various terminals and interstate pipelines to Cushing and Gulf Coast markets.
Rangeland has secured the Midland Terminal site and is developing terminal opportunities for crude oil customers in the Midland market. Rangeland has also completed routing and environmental surveys for the RIO Pipeline. The company is working with potential customers to obtain the volume support required to begin construction.

A lot of women have lumpy fat deposit on their stomach, thighs and buttocks. Therefore, this seems like a never ending affair for most of the women out there. 98 percent of women in the world face the problem of cellulite in their everyday life.
But the appearance of cellulite on the abdomen area is also linked to obesity. A lot of researchers have found that body mass, smoking, genetics, stress, lack of movement, eating fatty food are all causes that are related to this condition. There are a lot of different remedies given below for the treatment of cellulite. But you will only be able to win this battle if you play along a multi-tiered method. This is a condition which progress in five complete stages in the human body.
8 Ways To Get Rid Of Cellulite Fast
This is the first and a major step that you will have to take if you want to shed the cellulite from the body. You will have to begin making healthy choices in your life and it starts with what you eat. You will have to reduce fat, calories and carbohydrates from your diet. You must cut down on the red meat and eat it as sparingly as possible. Try to eat chicken and fish, as they contain less fat. Use less of vegetable oil, margarine and butter in your everyday cooking. You can always try the fat free alternatives in your food and dressing for salad. Reduce your everyday cheese intake too.
Worth Buying
Now, this does not mean that you will have to cut all fat from the main diet. This is strictly not possible as our body needs healthy fat to give energy and fuel our body for daily life. You will only have to avoid eating those food items that contains saturated fat. Try and add polyunsaturated fatty acids like sunflower seeds, soy, avocado, and nuts. Eat food that has a good content of omega-3 fatty acids, like cod liver oil, salmon, tuna etc. Avoid eating junk food prepared outside your home.
You will have to stick to exercising every day. This is the best natural way to fight the cellulite of your body. Start toning the lower part of your body with special exercises. Do leg lifts and side leg raises to tone your thigh muscles. Always try and do ten repetitions of all the exercises that you perform at the beginning and then later try to exceed the resistance level.
If you want to tone down the arms then you can perform bicep curls and overhead extensions using small weights. Start with small repetitions and increase your way up the ladder. Lunges, squats and other such exercises tone the muscles of the buttocks. You can add weight on your ankles for a better and high energy workout. Start your level with ten repetitions and three sets of each exercise. You will definitely feel the difference within a week of starting to exercise and diet.
Body Rub
To make a body rub at home you will have to grind ¼ cup of coffee beans very finely. Then add ¼ teaspoon of cayenne pepper and same amount of cinnamon. Mix this scrub really well. You will have to understand that the caffeine content of coffee helps to tighten the skin and the spices will help in stimulating the blood circulation in the affected area.
To this mixture you can add olive, apricot, or sesame oil and a tablespoonful of honey. Honey is a powerful antiseptic and also a great moisturizer. Take a good shower and after that rub this scrub on the affected area. Rub vigorously for some time and then wash it off.
Over The Counter Options
There are other treatments that can be used with diet and exercise for easily getting rid of cellulite. You can easily maintain the skin of the body by applying topical creams. You must look for creams that have retinol, green tea extract or vitamin C as an ingredient. These will not only work on removing the cellulite but will also hydrate the skin.
Body Brushing
You must brush your body once every day with firm strokes of hand. This will actually encourage the lymphatic drainage and the cellulite will disappear slowly. Brushing your body increases the lymph and blood flow. It removes the dead cells and promotes the growth of new cell on the body. The skin can be wet or dry and the bristles must be natural. Start at the feet and then work upwards.
Psyllium Husks
Psyllium husk is a natural fibre that can be eaten or swallowed with water to clean the digestive system completely. If you feel bloated or you can see cellulite appearing then you must remember that cleaning the digestive system properly is very important. Psyllium husk is natural and very safe. You can do this for two weeks, in every two months. You will just have to follow the directions written on the pack.
Drink Water
Water is a saviour of life. This saying is true and there is another thing that is true. Water eliminates toxins from the body preventing and curing human body from most of the diseases.
Disease and aging is defined by the water loss from the human body. If you are dehydrated then your body will retain water, this is the reason for many illnesses. Your body will only function properly if you remain hydrated. Water helps in flushing out the excess fat from the human body.
Seaweed Wraps
Seaweed wrap will shed the excess water from your body and will make it appear firmer. This is a temporary medication and the results only last for a couple of days. However, this is a great saviour if you are looking for improving the appearance of your body for a special party. You will have to mix 8 ounces of powderedseaweed and mix enough water to form a paste. You will need a fresh plastic sheet and towel blanket.
Place the towel blanket at the bottom of the bath tub and a plastic sheet over it. Sit on this sheet and then cover the whole body with the seaweed paste and then wrap the plastic sheet followed by the towel blanket. Close your eyes and relax in the same position for 20 minutes. Unwrap yourself and remove the sheets from the bathtub. Fill the tub with warm water and relax for 10 minutes. Then you can shower normally and pat dry the skin gently.

It depends on the direction of the wind where it snows. Closer to the volcano it rather feels and sounds like rain. The Palmeros are all wearing masks, no matter if it rains or snows or because Covid19 is still an issue. I get the feeling that nobody really knows any longer. The policemen in El Paso, the closest mid sized town to the volcano even wear gas masks as if they were standing right in a zone of mustard gas. The precariousness of the situation is physically perceptible. It is the constant shaking of the earth and the explosions in the background that make locals deeply nervous. 1200 houses have been covered in lava, many more might be buried underneath it when the flow changes its direction. A tenth of the island's population was made homeless by the volcano. The residents have been staying with friends or family for weeks and will have to for nobody knows how much longer."

Ben Berg, the restaurateur who revitalized Houston institutions like Turner's and the Annie Café & Bar, is partnering with the Bastion Collection to reimagine and divide Post Oak's French restaurant, La Table, into two new establishments.
Bastion Collection's international portfolio includes fine-dining heavy hitters like Le Jardinier in Houston's Museum of Fine Arts and the Michelin-starred L'Atelier de Joël Robuchon in Miami. Berg says his restaurant group, Berg Hospitality, will close La Table's current 9,000-square-foot two-story restaurant on July 2 and reconstruct it over the next year into a second-floor restaurant with a revamped menu and look, including new lighting, furniture, and an outdoor terrace.
The goal, says Berg, is to make La Table more approachable and distinct in terms of French cuisine, while "also pushing the fun." This means remodeling the dining room's traditional formal European decor. "We want more hints of what you'd expect out of a French brasserie but to keep it sophisticated and subtle," says Berg. He added that La Table's general manager Valerio Lombardozzi will stay on board.
"He's the best service manager in the whole of Houston," he says.
The second restaurant Tavola, the Italian word for "table," will take the downstairs space, serving Italian fare with a lively brasserie-style bar and decor that incorporates touches of Roman influences and Berg's hometown of New York City.
"It'll be a bistro, but louder — with music and a fun atmosphere," Berg says.
Though operating as two separate restaurants, "we think we'll work really well together," says Berg, noting that the French and Italian restaurants will be friendly competitors and contribute to the ongoing debate about which European country does food and wine best.
Construction for both establishments will begin in fall 2022, with the openings slated for spring 2023, bringing even more options to restaurant-packed Post Oak.

They Were Warned
Big Marijuana and its foolish proponents easily convinced Illinois state lawmakers that legalization would decrease black market trade and ease the burden on our criminal justice system. IFI warned them that this naive notion was contradicted by the facts, and we shared ample evidence from states that had already approved "recreational" marijuana. The evidence is clear: the black market had been thriving because of legalization.
Now we read that the California cannabis industry is in big trouble and want lawmakers to do something about it. What's their problem? The black market is doing 73 percent of California's marijuana business – …

Recent trends in children's elbow dislocation with or without a concomitant fracture
BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders volume 20, Article number: 294 (2019)
The elbow is the joint that most usually dislocates in children. In contrast to the widely known recent increase in the incidence of upper-extremity fractures and their operative treatment in children, potential trends in elbow dislocation are not clear. In this study we aimed to clarify the recent epidemiology of childhood elbow dislocation, in particular the potential change in incidence and treatment.
A population-based study was performed to evaluate the annual incidence and the characteristics of injury, patients and treatment. All children < 16 years of age with an elbow dislocation in 1996–2014 in the Oulu University Hospital District, Finland, were included. Elbow dislocations with and without an associated fracture were included. The mean number of children in the population at risk was 85,600, according Statistics Finland.
There were 104 patients with a mean age of 11.3 years (SD 2.6). The annual incidence was 6.4 (mean) per 100,000 children in 1996–2014 and no changing trend in incidence during the study period was found. Trampoline jumping was the most usual reason for the dislocations (N = 15, 14.4%). The majority (N = 73/104, 70.2%) were treated non-operatively by reduction and casting. There was no change in surgical treatment during the study time.
In contrast to increasing incidence of upper-extremity fractures in children, there has not been a change in the incidence of elbow dislocation in children. There was no change in surgical treatment in 1996–2014.
The elbow is a complex joint, composed of three bones which all articulate, allowing it to move in three planes. Ulno-humeral joint dislocation can occur in posterior, anterior, medial or lateral directions [1, 2]. The posterior direction is the most common [3]. The trauma mechanism leading to elbow dislocation is usually similar to that of elbow fractures: a fall on an outstretched hand [4]. Dislocation is often accompanied by bone fracture, while avulsion of the medial epicondyle is the most common concomitant injury [1]. Other bone fractures associated with the dislocation are at lateral humeral condyle, radial head, olecranon and coronoid process of the ulna [5]. Prompt reduction and external splint immobilization of a simple elbow dislocation are associated with good results [2, 5,6,7,8]. A displaced fracture, however, may indicate surgical fixation to hold the joint congruent [3, 5, 9].
Of all joints, the elbow is the most common in children to become dislocated [5]. The annual rate of elbow dislocation is 3–6% of all elbow injuries in children [10]. Nevertheless, epidemiological studies concerning childhood elbow dislocation are extremely sparse: to our knowledge the only research on the annual incidence in an unselected population is by Josefsson and Nilsson, who reported 178 dislocations in adults and children in 1971–1982 in Malmö, Sweden [11]. The childhood fracture pattern has changed during the last 40 years. There is no understanding of the recent incidence and potential change in incidence of elbow dislocation in children. In contrast, many other paediatric injuries in the upper extremities have been found to have increased in recent years [12, 13]. For example, forearm shaft fractures have increased fourfold in the last decade and supracondylar humeral fractures by 30% at the same time [12, 14, 15].
This study was performed to analyse the incidence and potential changing trends in elbow dislocation in children. Associative fractures, particularly in the medial epicondyle, were to be analysed. We hypothesized that elbow dislocation in children has increased in recent years, similarly to many upper-extremity fractures.
Study design
A population-based study was performed and all acute traumatic elbow dislocations diagnosed in children < 16 years of age in the geographic district of Oulu University Hospital, Finland, between 1996 and 2014 were included. This is the only hospital in this region treating paediatric fractures and dislocations. Patients treated primarily at primary health-care level were also included because their follow-up visits occurred at the study institution. Hospital records were reviewed by the first author (HH), who was not involved in the original treatment of the patients. All patients had standard radiographs (anteroposterior (AP) and lateral views) obtained on the day of hospital admission. The radiographs were re-evaluated to confirm the diagnosis. There was a total of 104 patients. The injury mechanism, the side of the injury, gender, direction of the dislocation in radiographs, treatment method and operative details were noted. The initial displacement of the potential fracture was determined as the greatest perpendicular distance of the fragments in AP or lateral views.
Primary and secondary outcomes
The incidence and the potential change in annual incidence was the primarily outcome variable, assessed by using the annual population at risk in the study area according to Statistics Finland. In our study the child population varied from 83,800 to 88,100 during the study time. In order to determine the potential change in the annual incidence between the beginning and the end of the study period, the annual incidence was determined for every single study year. The purpose was to find out if there is any increasing or decreasing trend in elbow dislocation. Possible re-dislocation during the follow-up time was taken as a complication rather than a new dislocation.
As to the secondary outcomes, the characteristics of the patients and injuries were evaluated in details. The results were based on the situation at the last follow-up visit at the paediatric trauma unit and determined by the treating surgeon. Flynn's criteria provides a summary of both short-term functional (elbow range of motion, ROM) and cosmetic (carrying angle) results. Loss of movement and loss of carrying angle were evaluated separately by normal manner, first by visual evaluation and thereafter, if found to be abnormal, by using a goniometer. Change of motion range and/or carrying angle were classified in four groups: excellent referred to 0–5° of loss of carrying angle or ROM, good 5–10°, fair 10–15° and poor > 15° degrees [16]. Satisfactory comprised excellent and good, while unsatisfactory comprised moderate or poor. Any complications other than slight temporary sequelae at the last follow-up visit (erythema, dryness or unevenness of the skin, tingling) were taken as unsatisfactory overall outcomes.
Statistical analysis
The annual incidence was reported in terms of 100,000 children at risk. Year by year differences in incidence were analysed by using StatsDirect software (SND test for independent variables). The injury mechanism was known for all 104 patients as well as the side of the body, gender, direction of the dislocation, treatment method and operative details regarding the number of K-wires used in fixation. The Chi-square test is a statistical test used in analyzing the categorical variables. In this study, the Chi-square test was used to analyze if there was a difference in a categorical variable concerning the outcome of the injury (satisfactory vs. unsatisfactory) between operatively vs. non-operatively treated patients among the cases who suffered from medial epicondyle fracture. The analyses for short-term outcome were performed by using Chi-square test and Fischer's exact test for small groups (< 5 cases). The threshold of statistical difference was set at P < 0.05 (5%). The data were analysed by using StatsDirect Statistical Software, version 3.1.20 and IBM SPSS software, version 23.
Incidence of elbow dislocation
The mean annual incidence of elbow dislocation was 6.4 per 100,000 children in 1996–2014. There was no trend in incidence during the study period. The incidence rate of 10.3 in the first 2 years (1996–1997) did not differ significantly from that of 9.1 in the last 2 years (2013–2014) (P = 0.791) (Table 1).
Patients and injury mechanism
The mean age of the patients was 11.3 years (range 3.5–15.9, standard deviation (SD) 2.6). There were 70 males (67.3%) and 34 females (32.7%). All dislocations were unilateral. Half (N = 54, 51.9%) of the patients had the injury on the left side. Trampoline jumping was the most frequent cause of elbow dislocation, but down-hill skiing, snowboarding and playground activities were other common causes (Table 2).
Injury type and treatment
Posterior dislocation was the most common type of injury (N = 65, 62.5%). Other dislocation types were posterolateral (N = 23, 22.1%), posteromedial (N = 11, 10.6%), lateral (N = 2, 1.9%), medial (N = 1, 1.0%) and anterior (N = 2, 1.9%). No open dislocations were found. A slight majority (N = 58, 55.8%) of the patients had pure elbow dislocation and 46 (44.2%) patients suffered from an associated fracture. It was most commonly the medial epicondyle that was fractured (N = 30/46, 65.2%). The lateral epicondyle was fractured in five, proximal head of the radius in six patients, olecranon in two, forearm shaft in one and coronoid process of the ulna in one patient. One patient had a fracture in both the medial epicondyle and radius head and another one had both olecranon and radius head fractures. The initial displacement of the fragment ranged from 0 mm to 35 mm (mean 13.3 mm, SD 11.6 mm). There was no ulnar nerve incarceration or injury in this study population. The median follow-up time was 4 weeks and the mean follow-up time was 15 weeks (range 1 to 109 weeks).
There were two types of treatment after successful reduction of the elbow dislocation: non-operative or operative. All but one of the patients were treated by closed reduction (N = 103/104, 99.0%) and one was treated by open reduction. Most patients were treated on the day of the injury (N = 97, 93.3%) but primary treatment was delayed in six cases (5.8%) because closed reduction did not succee after the out-hospital visit. K-wires were used as an operative treatment method for all patients who underwent surgery (N = 31). There were 46 patients with an elbow dislocation and an associated fracture: 31 of them were operated and 15 were non-operatively treated. Thus, the majority of the all patients (N = 73/104, 70.2%) were treated non-operatively. Most dislocations (N = 95, 91.3%) were immobilized by means of an above-the-elbow cast, but nine (8.7%) were treated by means of collar and cuff immobilization after reduction.
Paracetamol and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (naproxen) were usually used analgetics in the study institution, in connection with elbow dislocation.
Outcomes of associated medial epicondyle fractures
A medial epicondyle fracture (N = 30/46, 65.2%) was the most common associated fracture, most usually requiring surgical treatment: 22 of them (73.3%) were operatively fixed. A majority (81.8%, N = 18/22) of the operatively treated patients had a satisfactory outcome while 62.5% (N = 5/8) of the non-operatively treated patients had a satisfactory outcome (P = 0.345) (Fig. 1).
There was no difference in outcomes between the injury types, even in case where trampoline jumping was compared to other recreational background factors (P = 0.104). The association between the injury type and outcomes was separately studied among the patients with or without a concomitant fracture, nevertheless, no statistically significant difference in outcomes was found between these groups.
The mean incidence of elbow dislocation was 6.4 per 100,000 children during the long study period (1996–2014). There was no change in the incidence. The findings are important because the previous understanding of the epidemiology of childhood elbow dislocation is markedly limited and based on the epidemiological findings four decades ago. However, our findings are surprising, keeping in mind that upper-extremity fractures rather than lower-extremity fractures have increased in children recently. For example, forearm fractures (distal, middle and proximal) increased by 31% and upper-arm fractures by 39% over 22-year period (1983–2005) in Helsinki, Finland [13]. The injury mechanism of elbow dislocation is mostly the same as that of forearm or elbow fractures: a fall on the arm. Therefore, it remains unclear why fractures in the elbow region have increased steadily but the same trend is not seen with elbow dislocations. There may be not only environmental reasons, for example changed recreational activities, but also biological reasons behind this finding: biological changes may have affected bone structure rather than ligaments and may have resulted in an increasing incidence of fractures in children. Childhood bone fractures tend to be multifactorial in nature and both external and internal factors may exist. Bone characteristics like bone mineral content and bone size are lower in children and adolescents who suffer from fractures. It has been found out that low bone mineral density predicts new fractures [17, 18]. Maternal smoking is associated with increased risk of childhood fractures [19]. Similarly, we suppose that there are both external and internal causes resulting in joint dislocations, too, in children patients.
An associated fracture was found in 44% of the patients, which is less than previously reported: Carlioz and Abols reported associative fractures in 64% [20] and Rasool in 75% [1] of patients. Di Gennaro et al. reported a bone fracture in connection with dislocation in 67.5% of cases [7]. However, we utilized a population-based study setting and radiographs were available for all; our results are certain. A medial epicondyle fracture was the most usual associative fracture, which is in accordance with reports in the literature [1, 7]. We therefore analysed medial epicondyle fractures (N = 30) separately, revealing satisfactory outcomes in 82% of surgically treated patients. In turn, 63% of non-operatively treated patients had satisfactory short-term outcomes. The difference did not reach statistical significance and the groups were small. However, this trend is in line with reports in current literature [21]. Operative fixation has been found to be superior to non-operative treatment in cases of medial epicondyle fracture among patients with elbow dislocation according to a recent study of 498 patients [22]. Regardless of fracture union rate, clinical or functional disabilities seem to be minimal after non-operative treatment of medial epicondyle fracture with or without associated elbow dislocation [8]. In general, the aim of operative treatment in cases of elbow dislocation with an associated fracture is to maximize an early return to daily mobilization and high-level activity [22].
There are some limitations in this study. Only short-term outcomes of medial epicondyle fracture could be determined, although, long-term outcomes would be important as regards childhood trauma, justifying further research with longer follow-up periods [23, 24]. Despite the population-based study setting, there may have been a few isolated cases that were treated elsewhere, for example during a holiday trip, and were therefore not enrolled. As another weakness, the fractures were diagnosed by radiographs, possibly resulting in the fact that not all osteochondral fractures were found. Magnetic resonance imaging was not performed in the cohort [25] due to practical reasons [8]. As a strength, this is the only study concerning the incidence and recent trend in childhood elbow dislocation in a normal child population since the 1980s, to best of our knowledge. The patients were children and adolescents of < 16 years of age in a particular geographical study area comprising both rural and urban regions. An appropriate population-at-risk size was determined by using official statistics and the incidence numbers are precise. The follow-up time was not long but sufficient to demonstrate the immediate results and complications, in particular the need of reoperation. The original radiographs of all patients were re-reviewed for the purpose of the study.
The mean incidence of elbow dislocation was 6.0 per 100,000 in children and showed no changes in trend in 1996–2014, in contrast to paediatric fractures in that area. Trampoline jumping was the most usual reason for elbow dislocation, which was not benign injury in nature in all cases.
