cael, does it eat at you every day that Trump won the election? Does it eat at you like a cancer that your girl Hillary lost?
Should I not be surprised the recount thing isn't really covered more?
1. Trump will be President.
2. I'm pretty sure not a SINGLE ONE of his transition team/future Cabinet is even remotely qualified for their prospective positions, in some cases almost the opposite of being qualified (there has to be a concise word for that...)
3. Continuously flip-flopping on issues he said during his campaign.
4. Literally no real words on the hate-crimes being committed in his name, if you want to count that one off-handed, evasive comment in the interview where he says "don't do that."
5. His ignorant insistence on finding ways to run his business AND the Presidency at the same time, to the point he would rather live in his Tower in NYC than the White House, costing NYC a good chunk of change.
6. A completely GOP domination of two of the three branches, which last I remembered happened just before the Great Depression.
I mean honestly, is the media really ignoring/suppressing all of this and simply want the public to "just accept it"? I mean **** I remember during one of Bush Jr's elections (cannot remember which one) there was a HUGE deal over recounts in three districts in FL. And if some experts are claiming there is reasonable possibility there were miscounts in three key states in which both parties were closely tied where's the coverage?
I think you are mistaking "Snout in trough, career politician worth about a bagful of ****" for "Qualified"
also - she lost. It's done, get over it. Build a bridge.
Feannag still buttmad about the Trumpening. Keep on being salty, commie.
What's not mentioned is the fact that these areas with the discrepancy were different sectors of voters, the discrepancy was between voters who lived in major cities vs. those that lived in suburban areas.
They had no proof to speak of, only a suspicion. They made an allegation, at best. The Hillary voters are desperate enough to seek a recount.
He's still drafting his team, and he's been on a media hiatus, for the most part, since he got elected as he's working around the clock to get all his pieces in place to start moving **** forward.
What's going on with the Clinton Foundation is another issue altogether. And the guy leading her campaign, Podesta, who's partaking in a child sex trafficking ring.
Trump's also done something I don't know if any president has done before, he set terms to when/if any member of his cabinet could partake in what the US Government loves to do, which is political bribery. Enacting a binding contract that any cabinet member that accepts money from a corporation, another government, or the like in order to garner political favor was strictly forbidden for no less than 5 years following his presidency.
That's a pretty bold move on his part. This kind of goes into "draining the swamp" that he was talking about.
The working class in the US has been ****ed so hard for so long that until Trump, they were starting to lose hope. When our own government has to lie about the employment rates to save face and give the impression that all is well.
It's easy to falsify employment numbers when you ignore the people who gave up looking for a job. Obama was touting unemployment rates around 5-8%. When you factor in the actual numbers, namely those who gave up looking for a job, you're looking at nearly a 20% unemployment rate.
And those who are left working have been forced into a debt hole that seems nearly impossible to reconcile. We've got ****ty trade deals with other countries that forces the US to pay absurd taxes on outbound goods, while we tax little to nothing from foreign countries. It's hard to sell American made goods, namely cars, when there's a $4500 tariff per car that's exported, and we aren't taxing inbound items.
We've needed someone in the Oval office who has a keen sense of business since before Bush was even in office. Someone who understands what the foreign markets are like, how to deal with trade negotiations that benefit our country, not hurt it.
The backlash is coming not because Trump hates gays, or Mexixcans, or Muslims, it's that he doesn't give a ****, they're a system problem when we don't have the means provide for more people pouring into this country when we can't provide jobs for 1/5 of the population that's already here.
He didn't run on a platform of social issues. He's not careening to an idealists utopia where everyone is free to enter the country as they please. Every other country has some kind of immigration policy, and so does the United States. It's the lack of enforcement that's been the real issue. He's not pushing new regulation, short of maybe the wall - which I firmly believe will become a thing, and should become a thing, but that we need to carry through on the laws we already have in place.
We shouldn't be harboring criminals, or giving criminals a free pass, which has been what's going on for the last 8 years. We have a system in place for those that want to come here legally, and to ensure that they are held responsible for paying their share of taxes when it comes to the social programs that they enjoy.
The US needs to strengthen the Dollar, create more jobs, balance out trade deals, start chipping away at this absurd black hole of debt that's been established by the last two idiots in the White House, start addressing absurd levels of immigration, encourage American manufacturing, and discourage exportation of jobs to third world countries. As well as do something with this cluster**** of a healthcare system that was forced on us that no one wanted. Not necessarily in that order.
We can't keep relying on the middle class to keep paying for all these stupid social programs that aren't yielding a return on investment. Welfare's great when you can use it to pick yourself up and get your **** back on track, but when it become's a country's lifeline and a way of life, it's no longer a solution, it's a problem.
A job should be able to provide a livable wage, and provide it's employees with some kind of healthcare, and a fiscally sound individual should be able to save enough money for retirement. If jobs aren't able to provide that, we should be examining as to why, and to what we need to change legislatively to address those issues.
Most of the crying seems to come from these leftist idealists that can only surmise that the only reason Hillary didn't get elected was because she has a vagina, and no other reason.
The rampant slandering of Trump has been comical to watch, but reeks of stunning desperation.
no man, it's all this "fake news" that's why that **** hillary didn't win.
I like how Feannag made up the notion that hate crimes are being committed in Trump's name.
The only time a recount is valid is if the difference is super close and possibly within in the margin of error. This isn't the case.
We all blasted Trump when he called the election system rigged and hinted that he wouldn't accept the results. Time for us to accept the results.
The incessant whining just plays into the Trump supporters stereotype of his opposition.
Lmao, Trump looked right into the camera multiple times and told people to stop being racist idiots, what else do you want? That's more than Obama ever does or has done. Has that guy even talked about North Dakota?
the blacks sabotage themselves and then blame whitey
make americans accountable again!
Republicans are just smarter about committing hate crimes. They always make sure that there's no corroborating third party witnesses, cameras, or microphones before committing the act, and remove any form of documentable evidence after the crime to ensure their anonymity.
I mean they certainly couldn't be false flags. What kind of overemotional monster would react in such a manner as to falsely claim a hate crime was committed just for the attention?
Every Trump voter commits thousands of hate crimes EVERY DAY. The media just isn't reporting it because our new MAGA in chief won't allow it.
15 Hate Hoaxes You Can Dispel This Thanksgiving
Stop listening to the MSM which was wrong about everything........
1. Correct
2. Using the same old people in every administration is what they are trying to get away from. Being 'qualified' to run the government the same way it's been ran for decades is not a plus.
3. Besides a couple issues he's moderated his position on, there's nothing that he's flip-flopped on. The media would like for you to believe that though.
4. Most of these 'hate crimes' have turned out to be hoaxes. Burn down a church and spray paint "Trump" on it and voila, it's Trump's fault! Even though the entire thing could have been faked by anti-Trump people.
5. He's going to live at the White House, he wanted to live part time at his house, which is in Trump tower, probably because his wife and kid are going to live there until Barron is done with this year at school. He'll put his business in a blind trust, or let his executives/kids run it.
6. Fear mongering drivel.
Feannag real dumb
What a bizarre person you are with an incredible level of distortion shaping your reality.
A Lesson in Cognitive Dissonance | Scott Adams' Blog
adams is ****ing right again, the media is doubling down on 'alright right racists' as if anyone knows what that means or has every met one rather than accepting the fact that donald trump, and his supporters are rationale beings, instead they continue to try and make monsters out of everyone. ****s hilarious
Feannaggers gonna nag
Feannag is exactly the type of person i was talking about in my quote below. These people have been living in an echo-chamber for so long and are so out of touch with reality and have no idea how to cope with the current situation.
Jill Stein filed for a recount in Wisconsin
she is so progressive
with enough money flooding in she will be as good of a representative for wall street and soros as elizabeth warren and bernie "lake house" sanders soon
i wonder if they will do a recount in Virginia after those 65k felons were last minute allowed to vote?
She could have saved a lot of trees with all that money. What a waste.
except the orgasms
I'd love for an actual recount with verification of citizenship.
she would lose 3 million popular votes instantly
and likely not even take California
that is why voter ID such an issue for the left
even to the point where their other sacred minority horses call them liars and racists over the topic
so this is true
that video is spot on..the only people with the issue are white libertards and crooked politicians knowing they can bus in people
and i doubt even the whitest of ****libs in that video believe in it
they just regurgitate whatever garbage their likely SJW (jewish) poli sci professor forces them to ....
letting our school system become flooded with self professed marxists has not only enslaved the future generations to student loans they will never be able to repay, don't even understand the concept behind, but has done several decades worth of irreparable indoctrination too

A man was trapped after a car ploughed into a garage wall in Harlow this morning.
At around 9.45am this morning (Wednesday, May 20) two fire crews from Harlow rushed to Woodwards after receiving reports of a collision.
Firefighters arrived and found the rear of the silver car sticking out of a garage wall, which had been left structurally unsafe by the impact.
Crews worked for around 45 minutes trying to free a man trapped inside the vehicle.
Take part in our Great Big Business Survey
Calling all business owners and business leaders - we want to hear from you.
The coronavirus crisis has changed the way we do business virtually every night and we want to know exactly what it has meant for you and your business.
The Government has been forced to launch an unprecedented programme of support for businesses, worth hundreds of billions of pounds.
But other businesses have found new opportunities, from supporting the NHS with equipment supplies to switching to home delivery services.
The survey will only take a few minutes to fill in and we're running this survey on dozens of different news sites across our parent company, Reach PLC.
You can help us get a true national picture of what's happening to businesses, to entrepreneurs, to managers and to workers across the country.
Please take part in the Great Big Business Survey by clicking here.
At 10.23am the man was freed from the vehicle and despite appearing uninjured was left in the care of the ambulance service.
Watch Manager Steve Harrison said: "The car had reversed through the garage and into the back wall, trapping the driver.
"The hatchback car was actually holding the wall up so we couldn't remove it. Instead, we were able to remove the rear seats and pull the casualty out."

First of all, let's take a look at the impact FIRST has had on girls. According to the FIRST Impact study for 2020, 46 percent of the participants were girls. This is amazing, especially considering that, according to the US census, only 27 percent of workers in STEM careers are female. While it's true that not all the students in FIRST robotics will move on to partake in these areas, it does show that participation offers a welcoming and equitable community for both genders.
Next, let's look at the impact these girls have gone on to make. Through FIRST, many of these girls are getting the opportunity to make a splash in big ways. Dolphin Droids, an all-girl FIRST Tech Challenge Team (FTC), made the news some weeks ago for winning third place in the Connect award. The Missfits, a girls' FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) team, caught the attention of a journalist, and a documentary was made on their 2019-2020 season. The Afghan Girls Robotics Team, another all-girls FIRST Team, took the pandemic as an opportunity to save lives, designing a low-cost ventilator. This team faced many hurdles on its path to success to boot: They were not even allowed to compete in the U.S. initially, and had to fight for the right to participate. Now if that's not girl power, I don't know what is!
That ONE Team 4967, the FIRST Team I am part of, has always recognized the importance of girls in FIRST. In fact, we wouldn't exist without one! Founded by Tami Hartley, or, as we all like to call her, Mrs. Coach, That ONE Team is currently led by two female student co-captains, and it has been one of the best resume-building experiences of my life. It was through FRC that I first met another girl who shared my interest in aerospace engineering, and it was through my time participating that I got hands-on experience in embedded controls programming and leadership within STEM fields. Although I have only participated during 2020 and 2021, my team, like countless other FIRST teams around the world, did not let the pandemic stop them from achieving their objectives, and kept busy when last year's competition was cancelled by making PPE for essential workers.
What does all this demonstrate? FIRST has the potential to make a serious difference when it comes to women in STEM fields. The statistics clearly show that, afforded the opportunity, resources, and information, girls are just as willing and capable as boys at participating in engineering and other STEM matters. And yet, despite this, if we look at the field of aviation alone, women constitute only 18 percent of aerospace engineers, and a mere 5 percent of pilots. This is not from a lack of skill, either; women are equally well-performing in these fields. The issue, or at least from what I've seen as an informal math tutor at my school, is a combination of confidence and exposure. By providing girls with a safe, open environment to test the waters of engineering, FIRST Robotics could be a real force for change within the workforce, helping girls realize their dreams one robot at a time.

It is with profound grief and sadness that we announce the passing of retired Corporal Margaret "Peggy" Ann Smolarsky, of the St. Mary's County Sheriff's Office, who passed away on July 20, 2021 after a hard-fought battle against cancer.
Peggy was born in March of 1958, in Cheverly, Maryland and grew up in Prince George's County.
Peggy began her career with the St. Mary's County Sheriff's Office in April of 1999 as a deputy and retired in November of 2016 after more than 17 years of service, to move with her husband of 38 years to South Carolina, as was always their dream. Prior to joining the St. Mary's Sheriff's Office, she served as a U.S. Capitol Police Officer for four years.
Peggy had a distinguished career and served in several capacities while at the Sheriff's Office. She served as a patrol officer for three years and was transferred to the Criminal Investigations Division in 2002. Peggy was a detective for three years, and during that time investigated and closed 275 criminal cases. In 2009, she became the Leonardtown Community Police Officer, and served in that capacity until her retirement.
During her time at the Sheriff's Office, she received numerous awards and accolades to include the CALEA Gold Standard Accreditation Award, and two Sheriff's Commendations in May of 2005 for bringing 10 burglary cases to a successful conclusion and a Lifesaving Award in 2006. Peggy was also a member of the Critical Incident Negotiations Team.
Peggy believed in service to her community and to others as evidenced by her numerous selfless deeds and constant involvement in her church. She and her husband Ed went on many missions with their church in service to others and she was the first person to offer her assistance or a kind word to others. Peggy continually exhibited love for others and put other's wishes above her own. In April of 2021, Peggy travelled back to Maryland and walked a former coworker down the aisle for her wedding.
"Peggy was a good soul and we were very fortunate to have her working alongside with us for so many years," Sheriff Tim Cameron said. "She will be missed by all those who were lucky enough to know her."
Peggy is survived by her husband Ed and her three children, Stephanie, Jeremy, and Sarah and 10 grandchildren. She is proceeded in death by one granddaughter.

Purpose ' This paper seeks to explore self-employment through home-based business ownership as a potential solution to the inter-role conflict experienced by women attempting to balance dual work and family roles. Design/methodology/approach ' Home-based businesses (n?=?626) were surveyed in Western Australia as part of a larger national study. Data were collected on operator and business characteristics, and specific home-based business issues (e.g. reasons for preferring a home-base, management and planning, growth facilitators and barriers). Four-way comparisons investigating the dynamics of home-based business ownership between male and female operators and operators with and without dependants were made. Findings ' The attraction of home-based business ownership is driven predominantly by the flexibility afforded to lifestyle and the ability to balance work and family. While these advantages were more salient for women than for men, gender per se was not a determining factor in why operators started a home-based business. The more significant determining factor was the issue of dependants. Practical implications ' Self-employment, particularly through home-based business ownership, may well solve some women's necessity to balance work and family. However, it may not be a viable solution for all women, particularly those seeking high financial and career rewards. Originality/value ' This paper contributes empirical findings regarding home-based businesses which, as a distinct form of small business and self-employment alternative, still remain very much under-researched. The paper also addresses the issue of home-based businesses being emancipatory vehicles for women juggling to manage work and family, and provides findings which question this increasingly populist notion.

Homily (Reflection) for Monday of the Fourth Week of Lent (7th March, 2016) on the Gospel
Is 65:17-21;Ps 29:2.4-6.11-13 (R.v.2);
Jn 4:43-54.
Topic: Believe the word.
Jesus returned to Galilee in today's gospel after spending two days with the Samaritans, cf. Jn 4:39-40. They welcomed Him because they had seen all He did in Jerusalem during the festival. When a royal official whose son lay ill in Capernaum heard about Jesus, he came and begged Him to come down and heal his son. The gospel reads,
Then Jesus said to him, 'Unless you see signs and wonders you will not believe.' The official said to him, 'Sir, come down before my little boy dies.' Jesus said to him, 'Go; your son will live.' The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him and started on his way (Jn 4:48-50).
While the official was still on his way he received the news that his son recovered the very moment Jesus told him that his son would live. The official and his whole family believed.
That question Jesus asked the official is very crucial today because it looks as if many today are waiting for signs and wonders to be convinced. Although many today would take Jesus to their house after telling them to go just to be sure but immediately Jesus told the official to go home he believed Him without hesitation.
We ought to accept and keep the word of God. It opens the door for God to come in and to dwell in us, cf. Jn 14:23. One needs faith to be able to do this, cf. Heb 11:6. Looking for signs and wonders could lead one farther away from God. One must be very careful of what he/she is after.
Bible Reading: Lk 18:1-8.
Thought for today: God's word seeks our faith.
Let us pray: Our Father and Lord help us keep our faith in you to the end – Amen.
Sharing is caring. You are free to share our daily reflections with your friends and loved ones. They need them.

Business News of Thursday, 20 July 2017
Source: thefinderonline.com
WHOLLY-OWNED Ghanaian bank, The Royal Bank (TRB), was honoured at the 16th Ghana Banking Awards held in Accra last Saturday.
The bank placed second for its efforts at promoting cashless banking in the country and aggressive retail banking.
The rationale behind the 'Cashless Banking Award' was to look for the bank that provided and played a leading role in non-cash services, including Automated Clearing House (ACH), Hybrid point of sales, E-commerce and Ghana Instant Pay (GIP).
The Retail Banking Award was also judged on the grounds of the bank that received the highest weighted aggregated scores for all of the categories assessed by households.
TRB grabbed the Best Growing Bank Award in 2013 and 2014 and also won the Best Bank in Retail Banking in 2014. The Bank also picked the Best Bank in Advisory Services in 2014.
Head of Finance and Strategy, Mr David Okyere Nyakoh, explained to this paper that the awards are a recognition of the strides the bank has achieved in the period under review.
The bank, he indicated, had increased its branch network to 26 nationwide, Tudu branch in Accra being the latest to be added.
According to Mr Nyakoh, the bank is well spread out and aggressive in the retail banking proposition.
The essence of opening more branches was to get closer to the customer and provide the kinds of services that make the bank stand out among its peers, he pointed out.
To make services easily accessible to retail customers, the bank has invested heavily in electronic and mobile banking.
"TRB is one of the most active promoters of the e-zwich service," Mr Nyakoh said.
He admitted that the bank's financial performance was, like other banks, impacted by the harsh economic conditions in the country, culminating in some losses, however "we recorded significant growth in total assets, interest income, fees and commissions and deposits".

In this series, Adventures In Mapping, we dig through historic Sanborn fire maps of the city — drawn between 1886 and 1922 — to uncover secrets behind some of Atlanta's most prominent places. Comparing relatively ancient maps to those of today, we'll see just how much neighborhoods have changed and trace the rise and demise of buildings and streets as we go. Along the way, we'll point out quirky aspects of the city's evolution and highlight not only what we've lost through the years, but what we've managed to save and gain. In honor of the 19th anniversary of the Olympics in Atlanta, let's have a look back at the area now known as Centennial Olympic Park.
Today, Centennial Olympic Park is unrivaled as the cultural tourist hub of the city. Surrounded by the World of Coca-Cola, Georgia Aquarium, College Football Hall of Fame, National Center for Civil and Human Rights, the Atlanta Children's Museum, the Tabernacle, SkyView Atlanta and the CNN Center, it's a magnet for visitors seeking some of the city's biggest attractions.
And it's not just tourists, as locals come out to participate in ice skating in the winter, concerts on the lawn and other civic-scaled events throughout the year. Not to mention all that splashing around.
While we prepare to abandon the Olympic Stadium next year, and other venues are but a distant memory, Centennial Olympic Park stands as the most successful souvenir of the city's Olympic Games. Not only has it survived, it's been central to the rejuvenation of a large swath of downtown. And with a planned expansion in the pipeline (maybe), the park could see a dramatic renewal in coming years.
But for those new to the city, or those too young to remember, it's probably surprising to think that 20 years ago, none of what we know as the park was there. And likely never would have been if it weren't for the Olympics ...
Way back in the 1850s, when Atlanta was no more than a railroad town of a few thousand people, the land that would become Centennial Olympic Park sat at the outskirts of the city. While the roads had been platted — with the distinctive crashing-grids caused by the railroad lines — the outlying location of the future park, almost 3/4-miles from the train sheds at the heart of Atlanta, meant there wasn't too much going on in this part of town.
Just 20 years after the Civil War, Atlanta was booming. With a population around 50,000, construction on the State Capitol was under way. The city had yet to build its first skyscraper — the Equitable Building — but growth had crept westward along the railway to the area of Centennial Olympic Park. In 1886, the year of Henry Grady's "The New South" Speech, Coca-Cola was invented and the park looked something like this...
By 1892, Atlanta's low-slung downtown had begun to grow both up and out. The Equitable Building was constructed and industrial development had grown substantially along Marietta Street, stretching all the way to the area that would become Centennial Olympic Park. The map shows wooden residences filling the southern blocks of what would become the park, and an aerial view drawn in the same year shows houses reaching out in every direction from the heart of the city.
Nearing the turn of the century, the first complete Sanborn Map of the park area appears. Between 1892 and 1899, Atlanta's profile rose as it played host to the Cotton States Exposition in 1895. With the spike in notoriety and commerce, the population exploded, nearing 90,000 in the city and 420,000 in the metro area. At the park site, homes had filled every available lot northward to Baker Street, while the industrial warehouses loomed large over the southern tip of the site.
On the final Sanborn Map produced of the area in 1911, the northern portion of the site is still dominated by residential. But as Atlanta became the powerhouse of industry in the region, warehouses and other industrial spaces ate into the neighborhood. In true Atlanta fashion, by this time, West Harris Street is reincarnated with three names within three blocks, starting as Foundry Street at the railroad tracks, becoming Tabernacle Place in the block next to a Baptist Tabernacle (but not the Tabernacle) and finally becoming Harris after crossing Luckie Street. So it's nice to know we've come by the whole illogical street-names thing honestly.
Following World War I, things began to quickly change in the neighborhood. Urban density crept across the city, with the blocks south of Cain Street — part of present-day Andrew Young International Boulevard — filling in with buildings. Sometime after the 1911 map, Orme Street became Techwood Drive, in homage to Georgia Tech — then known as the Georgia School of Technology — just up the road. An aerial photo from 1933 shows the divide along Cain Street.
Like other American cities, post-World War Atlanta experienced a population shift. With the rise of cars and affordable suburban housing, many Atlantans abandoned intown neighborhoods. A photo from 1969 shows that parking lots and industrial spaces finally spread northward to Baker Street, swallowing most of the residential neighborhood that had persisted for more than 60 years.
The 1970s were particularly cruel to this side of town. While high-rises like the Westin grew along Peachtree Street, and the Georgia World Congress Center and CNN Center were built south of Marietta Street, seas of parking lots had taken over the area to the east of present-day Centennial Olympic Park.
Within the bounds of the park, things weren't going a whole lot better either ...
The 1980s brought what can earnestly be called rock bottom. In a recent article, Maria Saporta described the area as "one of the least attractive spots in downtown Atlanta." Even still, some visionaries began to see that the area had potential — or that cheap land was too good of a value to pass up. In 1985, the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce set up shop in a building in the heart of the industrial wasteland. Surrounded by parking lots and abandoned buildings, the Olympic fervor had yet to reach the site by 1993 ...
As the Olympics drew closer, head of the Atlanta Committee for the Olympic Games Billy Payne recommended that the city create a large gathering space in downtown that would serve as a central gathering space during the games and leave a lasting legacy for Atlantans to enjoy. In 1994, it was decided that the derelict, abandoned industrial neighborhood just north of the railroad tracks would serve as the perfect place for a park; after all, there wasn't much there to miss. And so the fate was sealed. San Francisco-based design firm EDAW took on the challenge, transforming expanses of pavement and rundown buildings into a gathering place for the world.
The success of the park — as a vestige of the global gathering that changed the city — is visible in the neighborhood that has grown up around it today. As the city prepares to celebrate the anniversary of the event that put the transformation in motion, it's nice to look back and gauge how far this pocket of downtown has come.

KUBUS was founded in 1986 and is distinguished by having developed the first commercially available long term and high protection boar semen extender, MRA®, thus revolutionizing the practice of artificial insemination (AI) in pigs, which until then was in its infancy. Since KUBUS' origins in 80's, the company has been characterized by being heir to the great work carried out by the distinguished researcher and KUBUS' its founder, Dr Santiago Martin Rillo. In addition to developing the technology for the conservation of semen, he carried out the essential task of disseminating knowledge and know-how of assisted reproduction techniques and reproductive management in pig farms. With this, he greatly contributed to the standardization and globalization of swine AI techniques at an international level.
MR-A® greatly improves fertility and prolificacy results from the first day of preservation, compared to, more economical, short and medium-term extenders. It allows boar semen preservation for up to 7 days. MR-A® is also well known for the presence of high-quality buffers in its formula, exerting extraordinary control on pH oscillations during semen dose preservation time. It reduces precipitation of proteins, favoring cellular metabolism balance, and greatly reduces agglutination (or clumping) of sperm cells.
The extender optimally controls bacterial growth during semen preservation, by the presence of broad-spectrum antimicrobial substances. MR-A® is the trusted semen extender for thousands of farmers!
MR-A® is manufactured under GMP quality certification, as well as ISO 9001 standards. it starts from high-quality raw materials and very strict controls which guarantee its efficiency, stability, and safety.
Wireless scanner with excellent image
Containing the most advanced wireless and image technology, the W3 sectorial probe allows gestational diagnostics to be performed at 19 days post insemination, dorsal fat measurements, pubescent or non-pubescent gilt diagnostics, as well as reproductive afflictions such as cysts and vaginal discharges. The system, therefore, reduces non-productive days on farm through the possibilities previously described. The W3 probe is user-friendly, lightweight, and compatible with android devices such as tablets and smartphones. The software allows image and video storage, as well as Excel and PDF reports generation. Conventional probes need to connect to a viewing system via cables. The W3 probe is equipped with the latest data transfer and imaging technology, not requiring cables for it to function. Tablets, mobile phones, or any Android device can therefore connect to the W3 probe wireless

The Canadian Foundation for Healthcare Improvement and the Canadian Patient Safety Institute are now amalgamated as a new organization, Healthcare Excellence Canada.CFHI and CPSI are now amalgamated as a new organization, Healthcare Excellence Canada.
From webinars and workshops to fellowships, leadership development and shared learning programs, we offer a range of ways you can learn by doing. Here are the current programs, events, webinars and employment opportunities. Join us to make change happen.
We are a core group of dedicated staff, coaches, faculty and partners spread across the country, on a mission to collaborate with you to improve healthcare. We believe in our collective power for change.
At our respective Annual General Meetings, members of the Canadian Patient Safety Institute (CPSI) and the Canadian Foundation for Healthcare Improvement (CFHI) voted to move forward with an amalgamation. Both votes bring CPSI and CFHI another step closer to creating a single quality and safety organization with an expanded capacity to improve healthcare for everyone in Canada. In the coming weeks, we will engage with key stakeholders and complete the final preparations. We are committed to our existing partnerships and agreements and to expanding these critical relationships to ensure diverse and inclusive perspectives in all that we do.
"The need to improve health systems is even more relevant today than when CPSI was first formed seventeen years ago. The amalgamation with CFHI into a new organization will harness the strengths of both organizations to drive a shared vision of safe healthcare for all," Ronald Guse, CPSI Board Chair.
"The pandemic has highlighted the importance of health systems with a strong focus on quality and safety improvement. Forming this new organization, we have a tremendous opportunity to achieve safer, higher quality and more coordinated patient-partnered healthcare." Lynn Stevenson, CFHI Board Chair.
In preparing to launch the new organization, CPSI and CFHI have begun to engage with stakeholders across the country to explore their priorities and how the amalgamated organization could support them. Some common areas of focus emerged from these discussions, including:
Over the next year, the new organization will continue this engagement with all stakeholders, across the country, as we develop the new strategy and chart a course for the new organization.
We are excited to combine our efforts towards better care, working with and for more people across Canada.

So – did you enjoy the day? It was a big thing in Belfast but an even bigger thing in Dublin, judging by the RTÉ coverage. Virtually every member of the state's armed forces was involved in parading O'Connell Street or flying overhead or trundling past in tanks. The crowds watching on a chilly day looked enormous – the biggest there's been in the state's history, someone suggested. And it was more 'nuanced' than that in 1966 (I think that means they had the British Ambassador lay a wreath). All in all it was a good show.
But a show with a hole in the middle. Had you been a Martian watching, or even someone from a country which knows nothing of Ireland's political situation, you might have assumed that this was a country which had achieved the goals set for it in the Easter Proclamation.
For example, the right of the people of Ireland to the ownership of Ireland. Look at the high street of any town in Ireland and you'll be hard put to distinguish it from the high street of any town in Britain: Boots, M & S, Tesco Express, Body Shop. How that squares with the Irish people owning Ireland I'm not sure. And of course there's tax-paying (but not too much) Google and Facebook and Apple, whose presence the Irish people have been taught to applaud. But you'd never have guessed there was some question mark over who owned Ireland by listening to any of the speeches.
As to cherishing all the children of the nation equally: tell that to families stuck in a single hotel room because their home has been repossessed; or to people lying on trolleys in hospital corridors, while those with money are spirited upstairs to a soothing en suite room with TV and armchairs and quiet. Or to Dublin's many beggars, crouched with bowed heads and paper cups.
And did I mention that the state's debt is such that every man, woman and child owes some €16,000?
Clearly the parades of gratitude to the brave men and women of 1916 suggest that what they died for in 1916 has been realized a hundred years later. In their hearts, every parading soldier in Dublin yesterday knows how far short of the Proclamation the state has fallen. If anything, it is running counter to the ideals stated there. But for God's sake don't mention that, speak not of rural or urban poverty, or bank debt that ordinary citizens must shoulder, or homeless people dying within a hundred yards of the Dail…And the list goes on.
Did I say one black hole? Make that a colander. And the biggest hole in the colander was and is the thing that no one must mention and no one did mention or even hint at: the fact that the six north-eastern counties of the country called Ireland remain under British jurisdiction, just as the entire island lay under British jurisdiction until those heroic men seized the GPO a hundred years ago. But the Irish people of the south, and a considerable number in the north, don't want to think of that, for a whole range of reasons. They are being trained to think of 'Ireland' as the part that's south of the border, with the north-east no more than a troublesome and noisy neighbour with whom they have little in common.
In some ways, contemporary Irish thinking isn't a million miles from that which prevailed in 1911, when a royal visit to Ireland by George V and Queen Mary brought enthusiastic, flag-waving subjects to choke the streets in greeting. Just five years later a group of desperate men seized the GPO and turned Irish history on its head.
What would it take today, I wonder, to awaken the Irish people from the deep and deceptive sleep into which they've been encouraged to fall? Yesterday in Dublin was a colourful day, but it was built on more than one major lie.

After the Ask--Three Things They Could Say
After the Ask: Three Things They Could Say -- and How You Should Respond
April 4, 2006
By Abny Santicola, editor, FundRaising Success Advisor
In the session "Major Gifts: I Asked ... Now What?" Monday at the 43rd AFP International Conference on Fundraising in Atlanta, Laura Fredricks, vice president for philanthropy at Pace University in New York, addressed the issue of what steps fundraisers should take after the ask, sharing techniques to ensure consistent communication with each solicited prospect.
The first step, Fredricks said, is laying out a three-part test to any response that you, as a fundraiser, might encounter. The three parts are:
1) What are the issues for the person being asked (why can't they decide now)?
2) What are your response options?
3) What are your next steps? Some combination of strategies: calls/meetings/mailings/e-mails from a variety of people, e.g., CEO, fundraiser, beneficiary or other donors.
Fredricks advised laying out in advance some potential responses or issues prospects might come back at you with, format responses to these issues, and lay out a reasonable next step, e.g., set the next date to meet, involve other decision makers, etc.
Below are some sample issues and the responses and next steps that fit well.
- Issue: "I can't decide right now."
"Important decisions take time."
"Have we given you enough information?"
"How can we help you while you are making this important decision?"
Next Steps: Next date? Send materials? Anyone else who should see this prospect? Invitation to any events?
- Issue: "I don't have the assets right now."
"We understand perfectly, but what is most important now is that we keep the conversation open about your gift."
"We are confident that we can work with you during this transition period so that you can achieve all your goals and philanthropic aspirations."

The expansion includes 15, six-story-tall fermenters that each hold approximately 1,500 gallons of beer. They were lowered in through the roof. Courtesy Founders Brewing Co.
Despite growing to be the 17th largest craft brewery — No. 23 overall — in the country last year, Founders Brewing Co. is about to embark on a scale that is new to the company.
Founders CEO Mike Stevens said the brewery plans to break in its new $40 million expansion with its first brew next month. The latest expansion for the brewery will increase its annual capacity to approximately 900,000 barrels, which would put the brewery among the top five breweries in the nation if using current production numbers.
Five years ago, Founders didn't even crack the top 50; it first popped onto the charts in 2011 at No. 42, according to Brewers Association data.
Stevens attributes Founders' extraordinary growth to the liquid in the bottle.
The 300-barrel brewhouse is nearly double the size of the company's last expansion completed less than two years ago and combines two 85-barrel systems into a 170-barrel brewhouse. Additionally, the expansion includes 15, six-story tall fermenters that each hold approximately 1,500 barrels of beer. A barrel is 31 gallons.
"The scale of this facility is something we've never been a part of," Stevens said. "It's really exciting to watch. Eighteen years ago, I could touch the top of our fermenters and I'm a pretty short guy."
Also included in the expansion are new packaging lines.
"Of that $40 million, a lot went into machinery and process equipment that's needed to scale up a brewery to that magnitude," Stevens said.
Pioneer Construction spearheaded the eight-month project.
Without the quality of its product, including many now world-renowned beers, Founders never would have gotten to this point — or past its near bankruptcy more than a decade ago.
"We wrote a mission statement 12 years ago, and the first sentence is: 'We're a product-driven company with quality and innovation first,'" Stevens said. "I've always said that profits are a byproduct of making great beer, and that's it."
One beer that paved the way for this massive expansion wasn't even in Founders' product line a few years ago: All Day IPA.
"Most breweries have led with a flagship, and for 18 years of selling beer, the first 15 we didn't have All Day," Stevens said. "We've never had a brand that represented more than 27 percent of our portfolio up to about three years ago."
All Day IPA has been embraced by many in the craft beer industry as the standard for session IPAs, a relatively new beer category. That's largely because when Founders began the development of All Day IPA, session IPA wasn't a definition, and the brewery spent nearly four years developing the beer.
As it was finalized and released, it coincided with the growing trend of session IPAs, but with much more thought having gone into it than many of the other entries.
"We wanted a beer under 5 percent alcohol that tasted like a Founders beer," Stevens said. "We got a little lucky, I guess, but that's something we talk a lot about here — pioneering is a big thing to us. We want to create fads, not follow fads."
He pointed back to the late 1990s, when Founders and several other breweries across the nation led an "extreme beer movement," which helped define what the craft beer industry is today.
With a category-defining beer such as All Day IPA, Founders is now getting calls from chain buyers across the country. The request for All Day IPA is often accompanied by requests for auxiliary brands such as Dirty Bastard, Centennial IPA, Porter or seasonal beers.
"Typically, in a grocery-store setting, they don't just want one brand, and it allows us to backfill," he said. "We look at it as a big success opportunity to grow our whole portfolio, knowing that we're doing it on the successes of All Day, and that's OK.
"It's how a lot of breweries have done it in the past, and we're doing it 18 years later."
All Day IPA will make up a large portion of the beer brewed in the new expansion, but Founders also will make Dirty Bastard, Centennial and Porter using the new system. Seasonal and specialty beers will be made on the 170-barrel combined system, and new research and development beers will now be brewed on the company's original 30-barrel brew system.
With the craft beer segment continuing to grow and take market share away from large domestic lager producers nationally — most recent numbers show a 12 percent share — Founders has used the window of opportunity to grow quickly.
Stevens said he hasn't added up the production volume of the top 100 brewers in the nation, but he'd wager they make up 80 percent of the craft beer volume. Before long, it will only be the established breweries at the top gobbling up the market share.
"That window is present and open now, so we've elected to take the opportunity to invest a lot of capital back into the business and see if we can't continue to grow this and fulfill the demands of our consumers, which we really have yet to do," Stevens said.
Although there's a large push for local products and a movement away from commoditization in food and beverage, Stevens said technological advancements have made it easier to balance the art of brewing with mass production.
He also said brand trust will help keep larger brewers from faltering. He said during a recent grocery store run, he bought a six-pack from another brewery and two 15-packs of All Day IPA.
"The nature of the drinker is they love to experiment and jump around, but maybe 50 percent of the time, you go to the brands you truly respect and trust," he said.
"An All Day IPA could be the next domestic premium light beer. I really do believe there are technological advancements in brewing science that allow us to make a truly great beer at scale."

Middle-aged, overweight men aren't the only ones who should be worried about heart attacks. In fact, women under 55 are equally (or more!) likely to suffer from heart disease, according to a study published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology. Despite the risks, a 2016 statement issued by the American Heart Association (AHA) has revealed that women are often undertreated for this deadly condition. The reason? Most fail to recognize the silent signs of a heart attack that apply exclusively to females.
While chest pain or pressure is one of the most common signs of a heart attack, there's a more surprising symptom you should recognize. Women are more likely to experience jaw pain, too, according to Laxmi Mehta, MD, clinical director of the Women's Cardiovascular Health Program at Ohio State University's Wexner Medical Center and lead author of the AHA's statement. Other female-specific symptoms include upper back pain, arm pain, intense fatigue, heartburn, or "just not feeling right," Mehta told Prevention.
Poor circulation from the heart can cause pain in a woman's jaw, neck, or back, the AHA reports. However, doctors have yet to find a scientific reason why jaw pain and upper body discomfort affect women and not men. Here are the physical and emotional ways heart disease is different for women, too.
If you experience any of these symptoms, visit a doctor right away. Research shows that women tend to wait longer to seek the treatment they need; however, doing so could lead to irreversible consequences. "Women tend to develop cardiogenic shock," which occurs when your heart suddenly can't pump enough blood, Mehta said. And the most aggressive treatments may no longer be effective if you wait for too long. Bottom line: It's always better to be safe than sorry. Keep an eye out for the most common heart conditions in women, and learn how to prevent heart disease.

Ideas & Debate
Kenya must act fast to reverse deforestationMonday August 12 2019
According to the World Bank data, in 2015 Kenya's forest area was 44,130 km2 or 4,413,000 hectares. Currently, we are losing 50,000 hectares of forest each year through deforestation primarily due to the emergence of an expanding affluent society that wants to dine on steak, drive cars, recline on comfortable seats, live in elegant houses and consume fresh fruits and vegetables. To meet this demand, commercial agriculture for products such as livestock, horticulture, timber and rubber are increasingly encroaching on forest lands.
This translates to a loss of 1.13 percent forest cover annually and amounts to a loss of Sh 1.9 billion every year (Kenya Forestry Services(KFS) – Kenya Open Portal Data). If all factors hold constant, and if we do nothing to reverse it, Kenya shall be a complete desert in 113 years.
Why should we care about a declining forest cover?
One tree can supply oxygen for up to four people on earth per day and absorb more than 21 kg of carbon dioxide per year. Trees serve as natural sponges, collecting rainfall and filtering sediments and other pollutants from the water in the soil before it reaches a water source. It then releases it slowly into streams and rivers.
Global projections indicate that the demand for water will increase by 2050, and more than 55 percent will be towards manufacturing, electricity generation and domestic use. This will leave 240 million people without access to fresh drinking water, and another 1.4 billion people without access to sanitation.
Seventy-five percent of the world's crops producing fruits and seeds for human consumption depend on pollinators for sustained production, yield and quality. The decline of forests and subsequently that of bees will lead to low food production and food diversity, thus an increase in food costs, malnutrition and other non-communicable diseases. This is against a projected demand of 70 percent more food needed to feed the world population by 2050. So if bees cease to exist, so will humankind.
How do we advance from this morbid reality?
We need to take the shortest path to reforestation if we are to reverse the looming desertification. One innovative way we could do this is through tax incentives. For instance, landowners would be encouraged to plant and nurture trees on their private or communal farms and get a direct deduction on their income taxes once the trees mature up to a certain agreed amount. The tax incentive includes free technical advice for the stewardship of private or communal forest lands. This innovation can be borrowed from the Federal State of Columbus, Ohio.
Secondly, to further strengthen the tax incentives, insurance companies could design forest insurance covers to insure the trees themselves against wind and fire damage, liability cover if the fire spreads to adjoining property or directly insure the forestry equipment. This has been a successful practice in New Zealand.
Thirdly, we could adapt China's technology that is able to transform desert lands into arable soil. The University of Jiaotong has developed a paste made of a substance found in plant cell walls that, when mixed with soil, is able to retain water, nutrients, and air. Within six months, more than 200 hectares has been turned into plantations yielding maize, tomatoes, sorghum and sunflowers. The result is that 2,400 square kilometres desert land is being reclaimed annually.
Fourthly, we could mirror Brazil's muvuca strategy. This is a tree planting technique where a lot of seeds are planted in a very small place. The strategy follows the Darwinian theory of natural selection hence several will germinate, compete between themselves for nutrients and sunlight, and ultimately only the strongest eventually become big trees. According to a 2014 FAO and Bioversity International study, more than 90 percent of native tree species planted using the muvuca strategy germinate, are especially resilient, and are able to survive drought conditions for up to six months without irrigation.
Fifthly, carbon trading. The rationale behind carbon trading is that, since it is irrelevant on a global scale where air is polluted, emissions can be saved in places where it is the cheapest to do so. This essentially means that pollution could be emitted in industrialised countries, whereas emissions are saved in developing countries.
Businesses whose emissions exceed a defined threshold, or who operate in specific sectors such as fossil fuel-fired plants, obtain an allowance, or credit for each tonne of carbon dioxide equivalent to that they emit annually. World leaders agreed upon emissions trading in 1997 in Koto, Japan as one of the main elements of the United Nations Kyoto Protoco,l which is a legally binding global agreement to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Massive opportunities lie in wait for Kenyans to tap into the $118 million newly launched Livelihoods Carbon Fund. This impact investment fund aims to invest in ecosystem restoration, agroforestry and renewable energy, which will avoid or sequester up to 25 million tonnes of carbon dioxide cover over the next 20 years. The carbon credits offered through this fund are certified by Gold Standard, established by the World Wildlife Foundation to guarantee and benchmark the climate impact of a project and its contribution towards improving the daily lives of local communities and their economy.

The 2020 U.S. Open is proving a formidable task for golfers at the Winged Foot Golf Club in Mamaroneck, N.Y.
At the start of Round 2 competition on Friday, only 10 golfers had a score better than par, while only nine achieved par. And the conditions stood to get harder for golfers as the tournament progressed and the greens got faster.
Of course, there have already been plenty of highlight-reel shots, including long putts, beautiful approaches, eagles and even a hole in one. That looked to continue in Friday's Round 2 and on into weekend play.
