The Manitoba government and J.R. Simplot chose February 14, St. Valentine's Day, to bring heart-warming news to the province's potato growers. The international food processor plans to spend $460 million to increase its current facility near Portage la Prairie from 180,000 to 460,000 square feet. The extra capacity is expected to come onstream in fall 2019.
This expansion will more than double the plant's need for potatoes from regional growers. They currently harvest 65,000 acres. As recently as the 2017 harvest, average yield hit an all-time high of 348 cwt/acre.
"Manitoba delivers in so many ways that will help make this project a success," said Mark McKellar, food group president, Simplot. "It has access to quality potatoes, a strong grower community, availability of highly skilled employees and distribution routes that continue to expand our footprint. We are convinced Manitoba's business-friendly environment made this the right decision for the J.R. Simplot Company."
The investment package provided by the Manitoba government includes tax increment financing up to $6.31 million to assist with anticipated capital investments and road improvements. Manitoba will also provide up to $522,000 in employee training contributions, based on the number of new positions.
Manitoba Hydro will provide $1 million in PowerSmart program funding for electrical and natural gas efficiency projects, based on the plant meeting program guidelines.
As part of the expansion, Simplot will incorporate similar industry-leading energy and water efficiency processes which were first established at the company's plant in Caldwell, Idaho. It was recently awarded Food Processing Green Plant of the Year in 2017 by a leading industry publication.
Manitoba represents one-fifth of Canada's total potato crop, making the province the second-largest producer after Prince Edward Island.

Firefighters halt fast-moving fire
Early Wednesday afternoon, the dubbed "Sunset Fire" ignited nearly 800 acres in Roseville and the town of Pleasant Grove. The blaze was safely and successfully extinguished by firefighters before it could cause any damage to buildings or cause injury, according to CAL FIRE NEU (Nevada Yuba Placer) incident commander Jim Hudson.
The fire was located on the south end of Brewer Road, adjacent to Sunset Boulevard and Catlett Road in Roseville and Pleasant Grove.
"There was no structural damage in this fire," Hudson said. "There was also no civilian or firefighters injured in the fire."
Cattle in the area were safely removed to safe pastures until the fire was extinguished, according to Hudson.
The hashtag #Sunset fire was trending on Twitter around 1 p.m. Wednesday as fire season ramped up in California with more than 20 wildfires plaguing the state.
The vegetation fire started at approximately 1:02 p.m. Wednesday, as mostly flat pastures and barren fields were burned. The fire was successfully contained at 100 percent in five hours, Hudson said.
Agencies and fire departments involved in putting out the fire included Placer County CAL FIRE, Sac Metro, South Placer, Roseville, Rocklin, Lincoln and Wheatland.
The cause of the fire is under investigation, according to Hudson.

LP: Strange Relations - Centrism
"Centrism" is defined as a political position of moderate views or policies. Centrism is also the name of Strange Relations's new LP and there is nothing moderate about it, except perhaps the utter balance of restraint the records holds while also exercising strong emotions through every element of the music; in the melody, chorus, verse, percussion, harmony. Centrism evokes the types of feelings that come from walking by the lake late at night, setting off fireworks with your friends, driving down the highway with the sun rising, and running through downtown on the search for that hidden venue where that band you love is about to start playing. These are the types of feels I'm looking for when I'm listening to music, not something happy, or sad, but something beyond categorization. The way I feel at any given moment is an amalgamation of all my experiences.
The album begins with "Underage", a smokey song full of anticipation and the subtle power of anger before it morphs into something that makes you want to put on all black and stay out all night. It has the vibe akin to a Warpaint song, one that is constantly dark and building. It's the perfect start to the album when it fades out and leaves you wanting more. But just then, when you're grasping at the last stroke of reverberating guitar, "You Talk" comes on. It's upbeat in a bittersweet way, while Casey Sowa sings out the questions, "Are you happy? / Do you need me? / Do you need space? / Are you listening?" "Parallel" marks the middle of the album, which slowly builds into pounding drums and bass and a voice desperately singing into your ears above guitar riffs that are playing into passionate abandon. The lyrics are excruciatingly well composed, with lines like, "And when the building's far collapsed disintegrated on the cold air / And when the tunnels became flooded / Is it weird I thought of you?" "Uprooted" is full of soft underwater synth sounds and a bouncy, speeding bassline during the climax of the song. The album ends on an unexpected note that moves away from the high quality production of the album into the subdued, unpolished "Belong To". The lyrics match the simplicity and sweetness of the lullaby-esque finale, "I have always wanted / Your thoughts to belong to me / Only me." Centrism is a fucking gem. You can count on the fact that I'll probably be listening to it, somewhere out there while you're reading this, either in my room alone with Christmas lights twinkling over my bed or walking around with my headphones on while looking at the stars and feeling a bunch of different things. Sometimes albums just feel like they were written for you, so although it was certainly unintentional, thank you Strange Relations.
Listen to Strange Relations on bandcamp.
Drew Lucia is a very fresh freshman at Bennington College, far away from her hometown Los Angeles. She loves living in Vermont because it gives her a chance to wear very unflattering clothing all the time. She likes making movies, writing sad things, and listening to Portishead most of the time. She thinks email is still a valid form of communication, so if you want her to write you a sad poem, say hey. She feels weird writing about herself in third person, so that's it for now.

Michael Owen thinks he could miss out of the England squad to face France on March 26th.
Michael Owen – more of these are required from him
Owen told BBC Radio 5 Live today:
"When you are down it's hard to be listened to.â€
"Results are not going well and, when you are not playing well as a team and individually, then individuals will not get picked for the national team."
"The new manager has only had one game in charge and that was a friendly so we will see what develops,"
The 28-year-old striker has scored only 6 goals for Newcastle United this season.
But if Fabio Capello picks on club form, which he says he will do, we don't think Owen deserves to be in the squad.
Michael Owen has a great name in world football and has had a wonderful career, but this season he's been a pale shadow of his former self.
And it may be that the young new players breaking through like David Bentley, Ashley Young and Gabriel Agbonlahor and are leaving Michael behind.
Owen gets his big wages for scoring goals, and until he starts doing that again he'll not return to his former status. But we'd be very pleased if Michael proves us completely wrong.
What do you think?
Does Michael deserve to be in England's squad?
Let us know – comments welcome.
28 comments so far
No he doesn't deserve to be in the England starting XI but saying that he always plays well when he does play for England. He see us as a route into the England squad which is the wrong attitude to have.
On the subject of England do we think Kirkland should play because he been playing well since Steve Bruce arrived at Wigan. Next home game we should all wait for Smith to come out and take him hostage. Only way forward as KK won't drop the useless git. Harper should keep the place of Given and he might stand a chance of playing for England.
I agree with Capello and pick players on form.
This will mean he'll have to score some goals for us to get a place in the England team/squad.
I'd have hoped he'd say that there were more important things to concentrate on instead of the selfish I'll not get picked for England cos Newcastle are so crap!
Score some goals fgs and earn your place.
Actually, Obafan2, I'm fairly sure that Owen said almost exactly that. I listened to the whole interview and he answered the question posed about England, ending with "But right now my main priorities are with Newcastle". Funny how that bit always gets left out by the press (and apparently, by Ed as well).
That said — how many English strikers are scoring at the moment? Rooney, who's a certain pick any way, and Kitson? Agbonlahor and Crouch haven't scored yet this year (2008) — at least Owen's done that. I've seen Kitson, don't think he's international quality, tbh. Not a lot of options for England, so I expect to see Owen called up but not in the XI.
Owen and England have long been a potent combination (40 goals in 88 matches). I'd not drop him, if I were Cappello. There's no one else near as proven, and to be honest the lad isn't that old (only just 28 last December) — don't "banish" him just yet.
he's more proven, but the fact is that what used to scare defenses, his blistering pace, is no longer there. this was quite evident in the first half against Liverpool. there was a moment in the first half where Owen got a ball on the counter just into Liverpool's half. he ran w/ the ball and ended up getting a shot deflected and didn't look particularly threatening. nothing would have stood out about the sequence, except that was the exact type of play that he would have looked extremely dangerous on a couple years ago. that's how he made a name for himself in the first place.
Good players don't defy nature – they age and lose speed like the rest – what sets them apart over time is that they adapt – while the 'once were champions' fade away, they rewrite their careers – they add guile, where once pure pace was enough – they add guts and determination, where once they only had to look at the ball for it to go sailing past two or three opponents into the back of the net – they replace big wages with big responsibility… and help build the next generation of champions. Does this sound like Owen, to you ??? Newcastle, England, …even Owen needs it to be so… Some will wait and see – Others know already!
Owen wants a pay rise!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is this the biggest mickey take ever?
Get rid. 4.5 M should do it. He's a busted flush like so many of our mercenary has – beens. If KK won't play the likes of EDGAR and LUA, then he almost deserves to go down for the chummy attitude he has with the likes of Smith, Butt, Owen and Duff. None of our senior players would ever get a game for the top 6, let lone top 4 teams.
Owen shouldnt get his game for England. Its plain to see he is getting no service from midfield and thats not his fault but I just think after all his injuries he has lost all his pace, what his game was all about, now he has to adjust his game like Shearer had to but perhaps he doesnt have the strength that Shearer had to be as efffective with a different style of play?

According to the American Association of Dermatology, 85% of teenagers are likely to suffer teen acne at some point. It just sounds so unfair! When teenagers start to care about their appearance, this skin problem will just break down their self-esteem and confidence. For young people especially, the benefits of clear skin are undeniable. Unfortunately, acne is one of the trickiest skin problem to treat.
Instead of visit a dermatologist for treating teen acne, many teens just tried those so-called home remedies. Unfortunately, this method will never work on removing teen acne, but leaving more problems or creating acne scars. The only useful and real weapon for fighting teen acne is to understand what cause it. Thus, follow the article to find out all knowledge about teen acne.

Creating A Top-Notch Research Paper On Slang Language
Research papers are a common feature when studying in college or other higher levels. Considering that you will encounter a number of such papers, it helps to know how to complete one successfully and in the shortest time possible. The fact that you will be exploring slung language might cause you to be a bit relaxed. However, pay attention to the following ideas and you will be impressed by the paper you produce.
- Use Proper Language
- Adhere to Proper Formatting and Structure
- Use an Example
- Create an Outline
- Edit
Despite researching on slang language, you have an obligation to maintain the highest grammatical standards. It is the content of your paper that should signify slang but not the language used. Examples and quotations may be given and should in fact be given in slang if that will best present your idea. However, provide a formal translation of any language that is not proper English. This will avoid misleading your readers.
Supervisors and the department indicate the formatting style to be used whenever you are writing a paper. These instructions must be followed to the letter. Understand the requirements of APA or MLA and use the format consistently. This will shield your readers from confusion. There is a structure and presentation format for research papers in language. Ensure that the features that go into the introduction, body and conclusion are present.
Other students and academicians have written extensively on slang language. Borrow ideas from them through an example. An example or sample shows how to present ideas, format, illustrate, quote, etc. The quality of example you use will affect your final product. Choose an example that closely resembles what you are expected to produce. You may also use two or more examples to have a better understanding of what is expected.
An outline gives you an overview of all the ideas you have and how they will appear in your research paper. It allows you to evaluate the strength and weaknesses of each idea and thus merge or discard the weak to improve on the quality of your paper. It also helps you to organize your work in a logical manner.
Errors are a common feature of any written work. They could be related to typing or grammar as well as misrepresentation of facts. By reading through the paper, it is easy to spot these errors and correct them. You are allowed to engage third parties in editing.

Pumpkin Polishin'
The solstice is quickly approaching, and as this has historically been the best time to plant the magical seeds for Peyroux's pumpkin crop, the farm hands and I are busy at work preparing the fields.
Our first step will be to weed and soften up the soil itself. I have an earth elemental tasting various points now and making notes — add phosphorous here, plant a fast-growing variety of blaquewort mushrooms to balance the organic flow there, sprinkle chopped nightshade here-and-yonder. We are looking to predict the quality of the season's field and estimate what should grow where. We need enough medium pumps for everyone's home, some giant pumps for village decoration, and enough in between for stew pots, potions, and pies.
Next up is a trip to the Potion Maker's Authority. We need pumpkin polish and all manner of growth and protection elixirs. If you grow pumpkins too quickly, they split— but if you manage it right, they shine right up. The Authority will be on hand all season, helping us tweak watering in accordance with the weather (and helping us tweak the weather as necessary).
Soil prepped, we dig small holes and drop in a few seeds. The cemeteries 'round Peyroux always help with some new top soil, typically about a century old to the year we are planting, and the smokesmith sends over various ashes.
All ready, we find ourselves at the hardest part of the process: patiently waiting, trying not to fuss too much, day dreaming about the harvest. Will report back when autumn settles in. 'Til then, I'm gettin' back to work.

Yes, the place where the Twilight series was filmed at. Let me just say there is nothing to do in Forks, nothing. If you are hiking nearby it's a good place to put at up from what I hear but that's about it. Here's a couple pics for your enjoyment. Next up: Thomas Motorsports Shoot.

Sweet Friend Gift Bag
I made a Box In A Bag...I know, it sounds funny but thats really what it's called. I found a tutorial HERE if you would like to make one yourself. I absolutely LOVE how this bag turned out! And I am VERY disappointed that my pictures do not show it's true colors! No matter what I did, it just wouldn't play nice when I was photographing it. LOL! It is alot pinker in person.
After I made the bag I added a punched border strip to the bottom and added brown crinkle ribbon over the top. The flourish was cut from Sweethearts. I didn't use the whole cut, just the flourish part. I used a Viva Decor pearl pen and added all the dots to the flourish. I also added pearl brads around it instead of the hearts. The sentiment tag was made using Fiskars punches and I also used the Viva pearl pen for the dots and on the hearts. The sentiment was stamped from Whimsical Designs Everyday Sentiments. To finish I added the handles which are wire edged ribbon and added bigger pearl brads.
I am going to enter this into the following challenges:
1. My Craft Spot's Monday challenge: Girly Girl Projects
2. RRRR- Pink and Brown with ribbon

This 47 YO Is The Most Shredded Guy In The World With An Amazing 4% Body Fat
There is this guy who lives in Austria whose body just consists of 4% body fat. He is so ripped that he looks like a walking anatomy of a human body. His name is Helmut Strebl. He has modeled and competed for 20 years in total. Now he gets called around the globe to give speeches and also to inspire crowds by sharing his experience of achieving his goal.
He has many inspiring quotes which are very driven in nature and undoubtedly inspires. Helmut's journey is about determination and devotion. He first started training at the age of 12. He used to get bullied and trained in order to protect himself. His first workout ever was with two filled bottles of water. At the age of 16, Strebl for the first time ever entered a gym, and never left. (haha!)
His diet consists of lean protein and sweet potatoes. In his offseason, his diet has brown rice in it. He has drastically kept away from carbs. In a whole day, his carb intake is kept to 150-200 grams.

The Internet has revolutionized the way people talk to each other. Blogs allow everyday people to express opinions on virtually any topic available and to build an approving audience in the process. Read this article to learn more about blogging and how you can use it to improve your life.
To garner more interest in your blog, a great idea is to comment on other blogs. If you decide to use Google Reader, it is wise to have another folder within it in order to follow other blogs. Comment on them on a regular basis whenever you want to say something.
Update as frequently as possible to keep your readers happy. Treat the time you spend on your blog like you would an appointment you've made with friends. Your readers expect that you will give them content they can use. If you feel like your blog is not something you want to continue with, think about all the people who follow you and how they will be disappointed.
Don't forget your life that is not blog related! It is easy to burn out if you spend all your time on the computer, so make sure you devote some time to other activities. Schedule in time to take a walk, see some friends or even just a 5 minute time out. Little breaks like these will keep you feeling fresh and ready to write.
Do not copy another person's work. The reputation that you make for yourself online carries over into every aspect of your life, including any day job and offline friendships. Plagiarism on your blog will have serious consequences in all aspects of your life. You don't need to be professional, simply passionate about a subject will garner a quality blog.
Include images with your posts. Have you ever heard of the quote, "A picture's worth a thousand words? That is definitely true in the area of blogging. An image can go a long way toward that goal. This is why you should include images as often as possible.
Include images with your posts. There is a reason that a picture is worth so many words. That is definitely true with a blog. Image are capable of conveying much more than mere words. So, try to use images as often as you can.
Post new content on your blog frequently in order to keep readers interested and coming back to your site on a regular basis. A quality blog has at least one post per day. If this seems like a hectic schedule to keep, create several weeks of pre-written content before making your blog visible to the Web. This helps to make posts for days that you have writer's block.
While you should reply to every comment on your blog, never let any of it hurt your feelings. Regardless of the topic or your thoughts, there is always someone who will see it differently. Use constructive criticism to help improve the quality of your blog. Any that don't offer something of value, you should reply to let them know you've read it and forget about it. You will appear to be the mature one, and that will only grow the number of readers of your blog.
Make certain that your blog is functioning well. Be sure to keep up with all of the necessary blog maintenance, and try to change small things on occassion. This will ensure that your blog functions properly and prevent your visitors from becoming bored with your site.
Don't shy away from using lists within blog posts. Lists are an important part of writing a blog, whether you are writing about the best animes of all time, or the most interesting celebrity hairstyles of 2011. Lists help to make important information front and center, so your readers can quickly find it.
Enable reader comments on your blog. Take the time to respond to comments, whenever possible. This will help you to bond with your readers. This is usually one of the most popular and active features of any blog. If your readers see that you reply to other people's comments, they will come back to check your response to their own comments.
One of the first things you should do when setting up a blog is to start a mailing list. The sooner you begin, the more time you will have to grow your list. You can use the list to help you make even more money later on. Creating a list of valid email addresses from your readers will help you avoid ignoring the opportunities you have to turn readers into customers.
Spread your writing across the Internet. The more places that people can find your content, the higher your reader numbers will be. Never place a limit on available outlets. Multiple posting locations will help you reach more readers for less work. Use every outlet in order to get the attention that you need.
Remain patient when you are attempting to grow your readership. Blog traffic builds slowly. Not everyone will be aware of your blog immediately. Additionally, since you are just starting out, there will not be much content available for people to see right away. The longer your blog is around, and the more you post content, the more your readership will increase.
By adding a greater number of posts that fit your topic, you raise the likelihood that your blog will pop up on search engine results. This is because the more posts you have, the more they will show up in the search engines, which in turn translates to more readers. Follow this article's advice to increase your readership for your blog.
It's important to select unique, non-competitive keywords for your site. Using the same common keywords used by other sites will just make your blog get lost in the shuffle. Be original in order to attract readers.
Think about what you want to achieve through your blog before you create it. Would you like to gain recognition as an expert and create a reputation for yourself? Or maybe you are just looking to produce a blog that makes money. Maybe you have more than one goal. You should understand what your goals are and make your blog accordingly.
Don't just write one paragraph after another off the top of your head when creating blog entries. Do research on your topic and create an article worth reading. If you write about topics that are wrong for your blog, or those in which you aren't interested, you probably won't enjoy much success. Remember, the content you create is the most crucial component of your blog and its success.
Encourage your readers to comment on your blog posts. This gives readers a sense of investment in what you post on your blog. Be sure to respond respectfully to comments – good and bad. Doing this will encourage your visitors to keep coming back, reading more, and continue to be an active part of the conversations about your topics.
Post your blog content all around the internet. This will allow you to reach a wider audience. Never put limits on your avenues to success. It's up to you to ensure that many people have access to your work. Use every outlet in order to get the attention that you need.
Your website should always include a contact page. This ensures that each reader can let you know if they find something that doesn't work, have a suggestion for content, or maybe they even want to offer you a lucrative deal. You don't know who is visiting the blog, and you may receive excellent feedback when they are allowed to contact you.
Whenever you are dealing with longer posts on your blog, proper construction of the article is crucial. Make good use of subheadings to organize your thoughts. Your blog will look much better, be easy for people to read and understand, and give a wider viewership. Breaking down your blogs will also make them easier to share.
Divide longer blogs up into smaller posts. The longer the post, the harder it is to read. Because of that, it is critical that you break your longer blogs into divisions which can be more easily read by anyone who reads your blog.
When blogging, don't just start doing one thing and never change. Use a businesslike approach to your blog and strive to keep learning and growing in the craft. Learn the techniques and strategies seasoned bloggers use to improve your writing a blog skills. Improving your skills and incorporating new running a blog ideas into your current project will keep you above your competition.
It has been shown that many web surfers are not interested in reading content; therefore, you highlight the information in your blog using several techniques. Titles which titillate will bring in readers from search engines, social media and other blogs which link to you. Another great attention grabber is bullet points.
Use a variety of social media and informative techniques, but don't overwhelm your visitors with too much. If everything you put on Twitter is linked to your blog, people will tend to ignore them. Surrounding your links with some interesting content will make you look like less of a spammer.
If you can afford it, see about attending blogging conventions and meetings. These conferences can provide you with a lot of valuable knowledge that will improve your blogging skills. Also, you will meet bloggers who have achieved success, which can only help your own good fortunes.
Having fun with your blog not only makes it feel less like work, but it's important to the way your blog is perceived. If your interest and passion for your topic starts to flag, the people reading your blog will soon notice – and they will not be happy. Find a topic that you enjoy writing about. If you are enjoying what you are running a blog about, your readers will sense it.
Try to upload blog posts regularly. Posting at predetermined times will have readers anticipating your blog posts. Readers always like seeing fresh new content, and will appreciate the consistency your blog offers. Avoid repetitive content to keep your blogs fresh, and try to post about diverse topics within the scope of interests that you write about.
Know what you're talking about before you post. You run the risk of including false or inaccurate information if you do not obtain a sufficient level of knowledge regarding the topic before you start writing. Having a firm understanding of your topics will also allow you to answer questions intelligently.
Don't overdo your keywords and phrases use. Quality in your choice of keywords is far more important to your success then quantity. Large search engines are evolving in order to more accurately assess online content. Blogs that contain too many keywords are flagged by search engines as being of low quality, and therefore undeserving of high rankings. This is why you should select precise keywords that have been proven to increase your amount of traffic.
If you have the time and money, attend a writing a blog conference. These conferences will help you to advance your blog posting skills and they will provide you with some invaluable nuggets of information. You will also find opportunities to network with successful bloggers, which might just motivate you to become one of them!
Make sure that any important information on your page is placed in an area that is easy to view on any computer screen. This will let you rest assured that your site will be easily navigated by your readers.
Your mind should now be informed about what blogging has to offer and you should be eager to get started. Remember that there is always more to learn about running a blog, so if you continue to educate yourself while you blog, you will be sure to enjoy success.
If you have popup windows on your blog, let all the content on your pages load first so that readers can see your content before they close out the popup windows. This will improve the user experience of your blog, and it improves your chances of drawing repeat visitors.

Phone was stuck at apple logo. Was set aside, now it turns on but...
A week ago, my iPhone got stuck at the Apple Logo when I tried to restart the phone. Before that, I was experiencing issues during a call, but I can not verify these problems as I was in an area prone to bad cell service.
Anyways, I tried everything from updating the phone to restoring the phone, and nothing worked. At one point, iTunes was able to detect the phone, battery level, storage information, etc. just like a regular phone, despite the phone still being stuck at the apple logo.
I left the phone alone for a week now, and today I decided to charge the phone. It did not get stuck at the apple logo this time and turned on. From there, I began testing the phone. At first, I listened to my missed voicemails from the week. A few minutes in, the voicemail voice started cutting out. I think this was happening both on speaker and receiver. Next, I tried voice memo to see if the mic was working, and it didn't (The app was lagging too, maybe because the phone was attempting to connect to the mic??). I tried a test call, and my voice went through for a few seconds, and now it doesn't even work. Then I tried testing my camera, and the app was very slow. Switching between the camera and video modes was laggy, and videos and slow-motion camera modes don't work (the two modes that use the mic).
I then tried playing a video on youtube, and it works. Audio plays fine.
Sometimes speaker, receiver, and mic works, other times it doesn't. I think it is the mic that is the problem here. Everything is working fine through a Bluetooth speaker. However, I believe that a piece of hardware on my phone is almost about to give. It works sometimes, and I was lucky that I turned on my phone today, when it was working.
I need help narrowing down the issue. Is it just the mic, audio ic, or is it something bigger?
Is dit een goede vraag?

Potential Energy vs. Kinetic Energy
By: Thomas Lee Abshier, ND
· This resistanceless flow of current that creates a B field is also seen in the supercooled, superconducting magnets of the MRI units.
· This phenomenon of resistanceless current flow is attributed to a resonant pairing between electrons in the superconducting coils.
· It is this B field that is the location of the stored momentum of the orbiting electron.
· Likewise, the field is a potential force against which other particles may act.
· Thus, kinetic energy is stored in the magnetic field of a particle.
· The Kinetic energy given to the universe during its repulsive Big Bang expansion phase, plus the total amount of repulsive and attractive force present between all the particles of the universe is the total energy present in the universe.
· All movement and collision is simply an exchange of energy to different places, and to different forms.
· W= F∆x
· To create movement, the force of action must be greater than the force of the resistance.
· The electron creates an Electric field that exerts a force on the external world.
· If movement is done against that force, or if that force acts on a mass and accelerates it, then work has been done. Potential energy has been converted into kinetic energy.
· Atomic orbitals can bond with other atoms and do work. Usually a repulsive barrier must be overcome by a collision, and then an orbital that is weakly bound to an atom will find itself able to dwell in a shared orbital with two atoms. Such a covalent bonding moves two atoms closer together, and work is done in the process.
· Likewise, kinetic collisions between atoms result in the rebound of colliding fields. The force applied by an incoming atom may repel an atom struck by its incoming momentum. The repulsive forces of the outer electrons, and the EM field transferring energy to the second atom is an example of an atom doing work by kinetic collision.

Schiller Institute NYC Webcast with Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity's (VIPS) William Binney and Ray McGovern/
Why 2018 Promises the Total Unraveling of the Anglo-American Deep State Coup vs. Trump:
Grassley and Graham Call for Criminal Indictment Against 'Ex' Agent MI6 Christopher Steele
U.S. District Court Judge Richard Leon, who interestingly enough previously struck down some NSA bulk collection surveillance as unconstitutional in 2015, ruled last week against Fusion GPS withholding their bank records from U.S. House investigators. A whining op-ed by Fusion GPS principals in The New York Times defending their work that an FBI Deputy Director refused to authenticate any significant portion of under oath did them no good, as Rep. Devin Nunes' (R-CA) House and Grassley's Senate committees continue to dig into the 'private intelligence firm's corrupt links to Democrat partisan hacks inside Jim Comey and Andrew McCabe's FBI and conspiring for then director John Brennan to politicize intelligence at the CIA. Fusion GPS payoffs to major news outlet journalists who pushed its stories on behalf of the Democratic Party deep state is also under investigation.
The now public letter from Sens. Grassley and Graham to Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein makes it clear why, in a leak timed for New Year's Eve, defenders of McCabe and Comey sought to claim that the Russia investigation began in July 2016 after a tip from an Australian government official about then low level campaign aide George Papadopoulos. Once again, the so-called '5Eyes' alliance of the British and Aussies are seen meddling in a U.S. election under the guise of passing on helpful intelligence tips about Russian efforts to infiltrate the Trump camp or offer it emails the SVR/GRU hacked from Hillary Clinton's illegal classified data containing bathroom server.
5Eyes British Meddling in American Politics and the Absence of NSA/GCHQ Proof of 'Russians Hacking the DNC'
It should be noted here that even if Papadopoulos repeating gossip over drinks justified the FBI opening an inquiry, that the NYT account deliberately conflates the missing and presumed deleted (and then widely discussed across anti-Clintons alt-media) 33,000 server emails with those that were leaked later from the DNC. It's certainly possible, and we now know the FBI considered it likely until Comey and his pro-Hillary counterintelligence chief Peter Strzok shut the line of inquiry down, that Russia and other foreign powers security services did hack alongside the now imprisoned Romanian known as Guccifer into Hillary's server and steal highly classified data the then Secretary of State recklessly left at the easily uncovered Clinton mail domain. Nonetheless, the evidence of 'Russians hacking the DNC' relies on the NATO G-NGO Atlantic Council linked and debunked research of Crowdstrike. As we heard this week, the Justice Department has reopened their investigation into pay for play corruption while Hillary was Secretary of State at the Clinton Foundation, which 'coincided' with a fire on the grounds of the Clintons residence in Chappaqua, New York.
As Harley Schlanger wrote here at RogueMoney in October 2017, there is strong circumstantial evidence Papadopoulos, who is now cooperating with Mueller after lying about his contacts to the FBI, was a British intelligence plant all along. There are certainly signs the young Greek American was living beyond his means while traveling the world with his gorgeously telegenic Italian girlfriend who has given interviews defending her man to the media since his cooperation with Mueller was reported. What the Comey/McCabe loyalists left in the Bureau and Democrats are desperately trying to do is deflect from the core issue multiple allies of the President on Capitol Hill are pursuing (along with reports Comey leaked classified information for which he could be prosecuted): was the partisan hot garbage dossier used as the basis for obtaining FISA warrants to spy on the Trump campaign? If so, that would be an abuse of intelligence resources by the Obama Administration against its political opponents worse than anything President Richard Nixon was impeached for in the 1970s. And how much did the FBI under Comey/McCabe agree to pay its author while Fusion GPS pals promoted it across the intelligence community, ultimately with the aid of Brennan and then ODNI James Clapper?
It has been reported by The Wall Street Journal's Kimberly Strassel, who has also pointed out the Democrats are citing 'Russian descent' to mark Americans for suspicion of 'collusion', that Clapper recently told CNN he had no recollection of Papadopoulos name. Clapper made this denial on the RussiaGate hyping fake news network that pays him as a consultant despite, as DNI, him having the authority to request the unmasking of Papadopoulos or any other 'incidentally collected' by NSA American citizen's name. We know Clapper in his high position could have easily done so, because so many other Obama Administration officials with far less 'need to know' ranging from Susan Rice to Samantha Power improperly unmasked Trump campaign associates while looking for useful Russia-related dirt for the Democrats. Just as he perjured himself regarding NSA mass surveillance in Senate questions he knew were coming, the arrogant deep state poster boy Clapper is either lying to the American people again, or the whole Papadopoulos story is a CYA concoction.
Binney Exposes the Lies Then and Now of former NSA Director/DNI James Clapper
As former NSA technical director turned whistle blower William Binney has repeatedly stated in public, the same Agency he once served that easily traced Chinese government hacking operations to specific People's Liberation Army personnel based in a Shanghai office building ought to have no problems revealing how it tracked the alleged Russian hackers behind the DNC dump. The fact that NSA under now retiring Admiral Mike Rogers has declined to present any evidence supporting the Comey/Clapper/Brennan rigged January 2017 'assessment', and its British counterparts at GCHQ have presented zero evidence showing a custody chain from Russian hackers to Wikileaks Julian Assange monitored by HMG 24/7 inside the Ecuadorian Embassy in London, reveals the fraudulence of the entire case.
In addition to the full two and a half hour recording from Friday, we're reposting the transcript of Harley Schlanger's most recent interview with Schiller Institute President Helga Zepp LaRouche regardng the alleged Steve Bannon White House 'tell all' Fire and Fury book. Harley also discuss Lyndon LaRouche's four economic laws, the failure of British/City of London driven divide and conquer geopolitics far beyond their failed coup against Trump, and China's One Belt One Road (OBOR) megaprojects gaining momentum.
End Geopolitics, Adopt LaRouche's Four Laws
LaRouchePAC webcast January 4, 2018
HARLEY SCHLANGER: Hello, I'm Harley Schlanger from the Schiller Institute, welcome to this week's Schiller Institute international webcast, featuring our President and founder Helga Zepp-LaRouche.
Helga, in your New Year's greeting, you stated that this year there is reason for optimism because solutions do exist. What's necessary is to make sure these solutions are implemented. As we will discuss today, there have been very significant developments on a broad range of fronts, including the new exposures that promise the possibility of ending the Mueller investigation. There's the new opening between North and South Korea, as a channel of communications was opened, that's certainly promising; and continuing developments with the Belt and Road Initiative from China.
But let's begin with the situation in the United States: Among the developments around the so-called Russia-gate, there's a new book that came out called Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House, which just has the typical stink of a British smear-job. But it's opened the door an interesting backlash. What do you make of this book, and the developments around Russia-gate?
HELGA ZEPP-LAROUCHE: I think this book is full of inaccuracies, lies and it had actually a very positive effect, because it quotes Bannon who had come out in the recent period very strongly anti-China, anti-Russia, and so then these things which were said by Bannon, Trump took to send out a White House message distancing himself from Bannon completely, and that has caused a complete storm. So all the media are full of the book, that the book is supposedly a big revelation about what's going on in the White House, that Trump has missed Bannon in this way.
But these are really side shows. Something much, much more important is going on and in the beginning I would like all our viewers and listeners to absolutely make sure that you switch on your livestream connection to larouchepac.com at 7 p.m. tomorrow, because there will be a truly important meeting conducting by the whistleblowers from the Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity, the VIPS representatives William Binney and Ray McGovern, and also Barbara Boyd who is famous for having written the dossier on Robert Mueller. And they will reveal why all of these lies are very dangerous and would potentially lead to war with Russia; but this meeting of three, probably the best experts on the subject you can imagine, is coming in the context of the whole Russia-gate falling apart.
So while the mainstream media are still trying to change the subject by focussing on this book and on the Bannon story, the real important story instead is what happened yesterday, where, you remember that on Dec. 28, Congressman Devin Nunes who is the head of the House Intelligence Committee had put an ultimatum to the FBI and the Department of Justice to release all documents in relation to the activities involving the DOJ and the FBI in respect to the dossier of Christopher Steele, the so-called "former" MI6 agent, whose dossier was the ground on which this Russia-gate story was founded.
Now, this story is falling apart. And there was another absolutely desperate effort by the head and founder of the Fusion GPS firm Glenn Simpson, which is the firm that hired Christopher Steele in the first place, with an op-ed in the New York Times trying to defuse the whole story, saying what a heroic job they did in protecting the United States from a terrible Russian onslaught in the campaign, and — anyway, so this is all not working, because the truth is coming out. And what happened yesterday is that the head of the FBI Wray, and the Deputy Attorney General Rosenstein, went to see House Speaker Paul Ryan and they discussed with him, obviously, the Nunes the request, because shortly afterwards, Nunes released a story that he had an agreement in hand that in the next in the couple of days all the documents would be released pertaining to this story.
Now, I'll only believe it when I actually see that these documents are really there, but he is now very confident that all the documents will be released, and this is a breaking story, because I'm absolutely certain that once these documents are in the hands of the House Intelligence Committee, or the Senate Judiciary Committee, because Senator Grassley is involved in a similar investigation, then this can boomerang! The real story here is not that Russia was colluding with the Trump campaign, the real scandal, which all these question marks lead to, if it turns out that the Obama administration colluded with British intelligence and the Hillary Clinton campaign and the DNC, in order to conspire against an opponent candidate and after he won the election, against an elected President, that is a scandal which could totally dwarf the Watergate scandal and this is now the breaking story.
So don't be confused by what the mainstream media are trying to sell you as the key story, because the true story is around Nunes and around Senator Grassley and around what they are now pursuing.
SCHLANGER: You made the point that there was a desperate attempt to cover this up by the two founders of Fusion GPS. In their statement, they essentially said that the work that they did "proved" that there was Russia intervention, and they spoke in the op-ed as if there was actual proof that had been presented. But, as Bill Binney and Ray McGovern and Barbara Boyd will present in their presentation, there's no proof that's been presented, and this why the whole story is falling apart.
Also, Helga, I think it's important that Paul Manafort, who was one of the people who was targetted by Mueller, has filed a civil action to have his case dropped, because it's outside of the range of the Special Counsel's mandate.
Now, in the midst of all this, you have the upcoming State of the Union address, we have new warnings of a financial crisis, how does this play out, what's the potential, if Trump could be freed from this operation, what's the potential with the coming weeks on the economy?
ZEPP-LAROUCHE: The warnings of Roger Stone that the cabal which is trying to get rid of Trump will not give up has to be taken very seriously. Just now, I think 56 congressmen filed, or said they want to form a committee to see if they can pursue the 25th Amendment against Trump, and they're trotting out all kinds of psychiatrists who try to interpret the tweets of Trump and find some reasons that he's not fit for President. I mean, it looks quite different: If Trump is freed of the Russia-gate scandal, which is about to happen; if Trump is freed of the populist, whole scenario which Bannon was associated with, and in his message he said: I was elected by the forgotten men and women, and I'm going to answer to them, not Bannon.
So, if these two chokepoints are removed from Trump, then the field is totally open, and there are now various conservative news blogs and others who demand that all of this idea that you create jobs with the tax reform and so forth, this all doesn't work, you need Glass-Steagall; so if even from the conservative Republican circles is coming now the demand for Glass-Steagall, this is very important. And our colleagues in the United States, the colleagues from LaRouche PAC, they are involved in a major campaign to distribute the Four Laws of Lyndon LaRouche — the first law being Glass-Steagall; and then go to a Hamiltonian credit system, and then the United States should join the New Silk Road — this is the campaign about which we're saying there are solutions; because it would be very easy, once you have a clear perspective going for a massive infrastructure program, and the big battel right now, as far as I can see, is in the Republican Party, where the neo-cons and the people close to Wall Street want to prevent that from happening, and instead go with the idea of cutting entitlements and things like that.
So the crucial battle is really in the remaining, I think three weeks up to the State of the Union address occurs. So all people who are concerned should really see, on the other side, you have this tremendous momentum of the New Silk Road. Even people who have been distant and warning against the New Silk Road, they're now saying, "forget all reservations, this is the big game in town, it's the only show, it's the largest infrastructure program on the planet," and it is obvious that any country which does not work with the New Silk Road will be sidelined.
There are tremendous strategic realignments going on right now, and as one former German ambassador to China just wrote in a long article in a German economic newspaper, that the people who are saying that the relationship of Europe to the United States or China would be a zero-sum game are completely wrong, because you can have both a very good relationship with the United States and with China, and those who have reservations obviously only project their own hegemonic intentions from the previous century onto China. And this guy, Schaefer, is then saying he knows Xi Jinping personally from previous years and he is a totally calm, person with long vision, having an idea of a harmonious development, and people should just join.
And there are more and more voices of even bankers, who now say, no, this is the new game in town. So if the United States can be brought to join this New Silk Road, and Chinese investments in infrastructure in the United States can take place, — I mean, China is a champion on this! They have now already 25,000 km fast train; they're planning to have 38,000 km by the year 2030; they will connect every major city in China through a fast train system. And why can't that be done in the United States? The United States is in bitter demand of a total renewal of infrastructure. The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette a couple of days ago had a very good article saying that the fact that the Atlanta Airport, which is the largest hub for air traffic, closed down for 11 hours because the electricity had a blackout because of old age, and that that is the condition of most of the electrical grid in the United States, because the infrastructure in the United States is aging, it's 50, 60, 100 years old — bridges, roads, all of this needs to be repaired.
This cannot be repaired, or cannot be financed, if you stay within the rules of Wall Street, and therefore, the big battle is how can we get President Trump to stick to his election promise, — Glass-Steagall, he talked about the American System of economy, he talked about Lincoln and Carey, Alexander Hamilton, — that is what we have to hopefully get on the agenda, and then all the problems can be solved.
SCHLANGER: On that note, Helga, there's also this whole question of Lyndon LaRouche's Four Laws as the basis for this versus this fake economics from Wall Street. The President is I think mistakenly talking about the stock market as an indicator of the economy. You were talking earlier about the warnings coming out internationally, with debt bubbles and financial crisis. It would seem that this would be the incentive, given this danger of a crash, to go back to these campaign promises wouldn't it?
ZEPP-LAROUCHE: Yes. As the year is just starting, a lot of analysts from around the world, including from China, are warning of new black swans in the financial system. Also Nomi Prins and many other analysts, bankers from many countries are warning that there is 100% certain that this system will crash. It's very difficult to say exactly when it will crash, at the beginning of this year, or a little bit later, but the parameters are all much, much worse than 2008: The corporate debt bubble is much bigger, the indebtedness of the states, student loans, car loans, the real estate situation, all the parameters, and naturally the derivatives exposure, are about one-third to one-half larger than in 2008; with the difference is that all the secret instruments of the central banks have been used up, and the only thing which is left is money pumping. And despite the fact that inflation was not so visible, except in the stock market, the hyperinflation is an absolute possibility, and the stock market — it's a bubble. People should not think that that is an indicator of the health of the economy. If you look at the jobs, how many people are now calculated in labor statistics, the suicide rates, the drug epidemic, all of these are factors affecting the real economy, and that has not yet been addressed.
So the big pressure is really to go for a real, Roosevelt-style infrastructure project with the Four Laws of LaRouche, which involves a lot of physical science. It involves a crash program for fusion power, for space technology, and we need a real discussion about these matters very urgently in the next two to three weeks.
SCHLANGER: And this, of course, is something that the listeners can do something about, by working to ensure that these issues are discussed, that we're not trapped in the fake economic reporting of the mainstream media.
The other significant development on the strategic side of things, was the opening of communications between North Korea and South Korea. This is something that promises the possibility of moving out of this threat of nuclear confrontation. What do you know about this, Helga?
ZEPP-LAROUCHE: I think it is a promising development, because the dialogue has been started. It's not entirely clear on what level it will be actually be conducted, but rumors are also that South Korea and the United States have suspended military training and drills during the time of the Olympics taking place in South Korea, and it is a promising thing. Because if the two Koreas talk to each other, the ice is broken. And I think [D.P.R.K. Chairman] Kim Jong-un is doing it from a position of strength, because he says, North Korea is now a full-fledged nuclear power so nobody can attack us without paying a terrible price for it. And this is because he looked at Saddam Hussein, at Qaddafi, and what was attempted against Assad, and that is why he pursued this way.
So I think if we get away from that kind of immediate danger of confrontation, and South Korea is resuming the Sunshine Policy of Kim Dae-jung, and that, in the context of the New Silk Road, with the promises of Putin to help in the development of North Korea, if they are willing to denuclearized; China offering the Silk Road cooperation, I think we are entering a period where that problem can be brought under control, and I think this is very promises.
And I think the views of [U.S. Ambassador to the UN] Nikki Haley, who says she doesn't care about the two Koreas talking, is just completely wrong! It's a completely arrogant view, because after all, it's the Korean Peninsula which is at stake and the people living there. So, I think it's a very good and promising development.
SCHLANGER: And of course, Nikki Haley is tied to people like John Bolton and the same neo-cons who were responsible for the Iraq War and the chaos in the Middle East.
At the same time, we're seeing a potentially disturbing trend, coming not so much out of Iran, but commentary about Iran, that this may be a regime change under way. What do you know about this situation in Iran, right now?
ZEPP-LAROUCHE: Well — It's a little bit too early to make a definite judgment. What seems to be clear is that the unrest erupted because some mullahs were caught in speculation, where people lost some investments in hedge funds, and then quickly that protest turned from being furious about having lost their savings into demanding a total change of the mullahs. And now basically there is a claim that the MEK was involved in it, pushed by Saudi Arabia.
Now, the MEK [Mujahideen-e-Khalq, aka MKO, PMOI] was on the terrorist list until 2012, until Hillary Clinton took them off, but it was an organization regarded as being a terrorist organization, and it's very clear that whether they were the originators, or if they only jumped on the bandwagon, in any case, now the British, Saudi Arabia, and unfortunately a large part of the Trump administration, including Trump himself, have encouraged this unrest.
I think this is very dangerous, because if you have, for example, civil war in Iran, or just a destabilization — another Syria in Iran — I mean, nobody can want that, because on the other side, if the New Silk Road is extended from China to Iran, which is already under way, then it can be extended to Iraq, to Syria, to Egypt, to Turkey, to Europe, to Africa. It's really the question — and [Iranian President] Rouhani received President Xi Jinping almost three years ago and they agreed that the New Silk Road/Belt and Road Initiative should be extended to Iran and beyond. So, I think that this is a very dangerous development, because if you have a destabilization, the whole Iran deal could go out of the window, you'll be back in the question of building nuclear weapons, and this is really the most dangerous spot in my view right now.
So people should really not fan the flames, because this is just a continuation of the previous British/Saudi policies. When it was clear that ISIS was defeated in Syria and in Iraq, and there are offers now to extend the Silk Road into Afghanistan [via Iran] — it's really the question, can the development be peaceful, that these countries be reconstructed, or are there geopolitical forces at work to try to prevent exactly that?
And I think that people should really help to reconstruct the Middle East, because these people have suffered so much from wars which were based on lies. Just think how many millions of people have lost their lives, how much misery has been created. Look at what's happening in Yemen right now: the worst genocide, 7 million people are in acute danger of losing their lives! The world communist must become adult and stop these games and that is why I said in my New Year's greetings, that of all the many things which have to be straightened out, geopolitics must stop! Geopolitics in the time of thermonuclear weapons cannot be a way to conduct policy. And Xi Jinping has established a new paradigm, with the idea of new, shared community for the shared future of mankind, a community of destiny, and by doing that, he has established a higher level of relations among countries which is not based on geopolitics.
And I think people have to think that through, because people in the West are so accustomed to think that policy is a zero-sum game, if one wins, the other loses, that we cannot have a world where everybody cooperates to the benefit of all, but that is exactly the debate which we have to have. And since the New Silk Road is such a strong dynamic, I think it can be realized: It just needs to be discussed, we have to have a political discourse about these questions, and show a willingness to move to new era of civilization.
SCHLANGER: One of the areas where we see as a bright spot for this "win-win" policy is Africa, where some of these projects are now coming online. You told me earlier that there's now an agreement for Japan to work with China in Africa. What's your perspective on what we can expect in the next period with this cooperation in Africa?
ZEPP-LAROUCHE: I think this is one of the most interesting things, because Japan has not only expressed an absolute willingness to cooperate with the Belt and Road Initiative, with the AIIB in a bilateral relation between China and Japan, but Japan has really offered, for the first time, to cooperate with China in the development of four major projects in Africa. Now, this is exactly what the New Silk Road Spirit can bring about: That you not just have bilateral relations in a "win-win" cooperation, but that countries which have major industrial capacities like China and Japan, that they can unite for the benefit of third countries, or in that case even a continent, and help to overcome the underdevelopment.
And that is what the United States should join in, and we are appealing to the Europeans that they should also. Right now there are many countries in Europe which are getting onboard, but some others are not. Very interesting in this context will be the visit of Macron to China on Jan. 8th; the French Economic Minister Le Maire just gave an interview in which he said the intention of Macron is to build an economic backbone from Paris to Moscow to Beijing, and if that would be the outcome of Macron's visit, then you have Eastern Europe, Central Europe, the Balkans, South Europe, and France moving in this direction and that would make the position of Brussels and the non-existing in Berlin very isolated. And I have been saying the whole time, whoever is not getting onboard with this new paradigm, will be sidelined by history and at a great peril for their respective populations.
As I said, the solutions are so much in sight, and therefore there is tremendous reason to be optimistic that this year 2018 can become a very, very positive change in the history of mankind, where we leave these geopolitical confrontations behind us, and have a concert of nations working for the common good.
I know many people think this is completely idealistic and not realistic, but look what China is doing: China is going global. There is a new spirit, which was expressed at the Belt and Road Forum last May, by Xi Jinping and others, it was reiterated at the 19th National Congress of the CPC in October, it was expressed by Xi Jinping, and Wang Yi and others at the New Year's speeches; and China is now moving with an incredible speed to go global. And it's happening on all levels and there's no reason to feel threatened by it, because if countries like Germany or the United States would go back to their best traditions, like the United States going back to the Kennedy Apollo idea, or going back to the New Deal of Roosevelt, there is nothing which the United States and China cannot do together; or Germany and China, and other countries working together.
People have to change their thinking! It's not a zero-sum game. It's the idea, can we define goals for humanity, can we do what was discussed in the Federalist Papers already in the young America? Can find a self-rule which is for the long-term survivability of our society? And I think we can. I think the human species is capable of reason, I think we are even capable of love — and people think love has nothing to do with politics, but that's not true! The outcome of the Thirty Years' War was a terrible destruction in Europe but out of that came the Peace of Westphalia. And if you look at the principles of the Peace of Westphalia, the two most important features were for the sake of peace, forget every evil which was done by the one or the other side, and concentrate on joint development; and the second principle was, for the sake of peace, foreign policy from now on has to be based on "the interest of the other in love."
And I think that that is what China is doing: It's consistent with the idea of a harmonious development of all nations, and that was the policy of John Quincy Adams, so it's not alien to American history. It was also associated with humanism in Europe, with the idea of Leibniz, of Cusa, of many other great people who were thinking in terms of development as the goal of history.
So we are at a crucial change of the era, where we have to leave the era of geopolitics behind us and move to a completely new phase in the history of civilization.
SCHLANGER: Helga, I think you just summarized very beautifully why we can be optimistic as we approach this year. But! optimism alone won't do it: We have to be active. And I call on all of our listeners and supporters to make sure that this is the year you become members of the Schiller Institute and become active with us, so that we can ensure that these policy solutions will be implemented.
So Helga, until next week, thank you very much, and we'll see you then.
ZEPP-LAROUCHE: OK, bye.
