Trump called him 'my African American.' Now he's left the GOP
Gregory Cheadle is the Redding resident who shot to national fame in 2016 when then-presidential candidate Donald Trump saw him at a campaign rally in the Sacramento Valley city and said, "Look at my African American over here. Look at him! Are you the greatest?"
"I wasn't offended," Cheadle said in an interview this week. After all, he was a Republican, a Trump supporter and a candidate for Congress. "At the time, it was funny. I did not think he had any ill intent."
Now, nearly three years into the Trump presidency, Cheadle is having second thoughts about Trump, his racially insensitive comments and the Republican Party. Last month, Cheadle left the party. He's running for the House — for a fifth time — as an independent.
"It's indisputable that he's got a problem," Cheadle said of Trump. "The problem is that he has a white superiority complex. He does not put the plight of black people on the same level as the plight of white people."
Cheadle, 62, didn't come to this revelation overnight. It started when Trump criticized former 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick two years ago for kneeling during the national anthem. Kaepernick intended the silent protest to draw attention to racial injustice and police use of excessive force.
Trump called it unpatriotic and said players who knelt during the anthem were "sons of bitches" who "should be fired."
Cheadle described himself as "furious" at Trump's reaction and said the president wouldn't use that language "to describe Kim Jong Un."
"Here's a man (Kaepernick) who is trying to bring awareness to the plight of black people, and he called him an SOB. That was too much for me," Cheadle said.
"It angered me even more that he would cloak his racism under the guise of patriotism. It gave people the opportunity to release their prejudices under the guise of patriotism."
Then came the white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Va., when a man fatally struck a counterprotester with his car and Trump said there had been "very fine people on both sides." And Trump's description of Haiti and some African nations as "s—hole countries," and his tweet that four U.S. citizens in the House who are women of color should "go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came."
Cheadle said Republicans' silence on such remarks shows "that they are of the same cloth. The white superiority complex runs so deep in our society that they want to pander to their constituents."
Why didn't Cheadle speak out earlier? He said he did on social media, but few reporters picked up on it. He acknowledged he had a hard enough time getting media attention when he was a House candidate.
He said he didn't join the Democratic Party because he disagrees with the party's stance on gun control and support of abortion rights.
"If I ran as a Democrat, I would have the same outcome now," Cheadle said. "Leaving."
Any way it's sliced, Cheadle will have a hard time beating GOP Rep. Doug LaMalfa in California's First Congressional District next year. In 2018, Cheadle finished fifth out of seven candidates in the primary with 6.1% of the vote.
He can't exactly ride the black vote to victory. "It's only 1%" African American, Cheadle said. "There are great people up in Redding, but it can be pretty lonely up here."
The oddest part of the whole episode with Trump is that it started as a joke — on Cheadle's part. At the rally, Trump was saying he had been talking to an African American friend. Cheadle, who was in the front row, raised his hand.
"I said, 'I'm here,' as a joke. Everybody around me starting saying, 'He's here,' and pointing to me.
"I was just having fun."

Say hello to the mamas
When the Four Mamas founded API together more than 20 years ago, they dreamed of creating high-quality, safe, life-changing study abroad programs they would feel good sending their own kids on. With dedication, hard work, and a lot of love, their dream became reality. Thousands and thousands of students have chosen API to support them on their own life-changing study abroad experiences, with the Four Mamas cheering them on every step of the way. No matter who you are or where you come from, API will support you on your journey.

High School
Study Abroad + Options
Gap Year
Housing for the internship program varies at each location and based on the time of year. Housing assignments may also be based on the individual location of the internship placement to keep commute times reasonable. Housing options are as follows:
Dublin, Edinburgh, London, Lisbon, and all Australia and New Zealand locations - housing will typically be in twin shared mixed-gender student apartments.
Barcelona, Madrid, Seville, Buenos Aires, and Santiago - participants have a choice of homestay (with meals) or shared mixed-gender student apartments.
30-60 minutes, though there can be slightly longer in some instances. Participants should also expect to take multiple modes of transportation - i.e. bus and subway, subway and ferry, etc. Public transportation costs are not included.
API can locate high-quality, customized internship placements in nearly all fields of study, with the exception of hands-on, clinical work.
Yes, API can find English-speaking internships in our non-English destinations. Applicants that are unable to speak the local language may need to be more flexible with their placement. English-speaking placements in Buenos Aires are limited; therefore a high-intermediate level of Spanish is typically required.
The average placement time is 4-8 weeks, though it can take longer for 'niche' fields.
Each applicant will receive an official internship offer with the details of their internship placement. This includes a description of the company and of the anticipated internship duties. The participant must officially accept the offer and make the next payment towards the program fees of $1,000 (unless their home university has a direct bill arrangement with API). Once the applicant has officially accepted their offer, API will assist them with the pre-departure process.
In the rare event that API cannot place an applicant, the applicant would receive a full refund on any application and confirmation payments made.
API customizes all placements based on the individual applicant's learning and career objectives. This means that we are continuously developing new internship placements for applicants. We find our placements through professional networks, industry connections, and research. Customization does not refer to company size or stature.
We can find placements in most industries or fields except hands-on clinical work. Most of our placements are with smaller to mid-sized local companies or organizations. We have found that these types of organizations tend to offer a better experience than large corporations. The larger the organization, often the more restrictive they are in what they will allow an intern to work on. Participants wanting an English-speaking placement in a foreign language destination will need to allow for flexibility in the type of placement we can find.
In most cases, the API participant will be the only intern at the internship site. Because most of our sites are smaller to mid-size organizations, they only have the resources to host 1-2 interns at a time.
API will locate a placement based on the information that the applicant provides us during the application process. API will focus on the desired learning outcomes in making an internship match, which takes priority over the size and the focus of the host organization. Therefore, API is confident that any internship offered will match the desired placement requested by the applicant to the best of our ability. Unless an applicant has valid reasons why the placement does not match their learning objectives, the expectation is that the applicant will accept the given offer.
More details are provided on the respective program pages, but in general, the following features are included:
Yes! All of the API internship locations are supported by API Resident Coordinators / Directors who will be available 24/7 to support and assist participants through the internship experience.
Each intern will have someone at the internship that is designated as their internship supervisor. The expectation is that the supervisor and intern will meet on a weekly basis.
Unless otherwise specified, the participants will intern 4 days a week for approximately 32 hours per week. Internship days are typically Monday - Thursday or Tuesday - Friday. However, there may be instances where the intern must work over the weekend and have days off during the work week. For example, hospitality-related organizations often are busiest during weekend hours where it is beneficial to have interns assist.
In order to meet contact hour requirements for credit through the participant's home institution, special arrangements can be made for a 5-day intern week.
No. All API internships are unpaid due to immigration restrictions and availability.

It has been a while my friends. It is tough to find WiFi in the North, no Tim Horton, no McDonald and no Starbucks.
We made our way along the Alaska Highway from Fort St. John to Whitehorse in three days. Friday we stayed at a lovely campsite at Summit lake (Stone Mountain Provincial Park). It was an open campsite right at the lake, elevation 1300 m and no mosquitos. And my prayers were heard. There was frost overnight and the bikes were covered in ice – take that you damn mosquitos.
After another gorgeous riding day we stayed at Watson Lake Campground near Watson Lake (The gateway to Yukon). Watson Lake is also famous for the Signpost Forest.
The Sign Post Forest is Watson Lake's most famous attraction. Travelers from around the world have been bringing signposts from their hometowns to the Sign Post Forest since 1942 and continue to do so today.
The tradition began during the Alaska Highway Project in 1942, when U.S. soldier Carl K. Lindley spent time in Watson Lake recovering from an injury. A commanding officer asked him to repair and erect the directional signposts, and while completing the job, he added a sign that indicated the direction and mileage to his hometown of Danville, Illinois. Others followed suit, and the trend caught on. In 1990, a couple from Ohio added the 10,000th sign in the Signpost Forest. Today, there are over 77,000 signs in the Forest, and the number grows each year as visitors contribute signs and continue the tradition. The Town of Watson Lake maintains the site, adding more sign posts as they fill up.
It was amazing to see that there are so many German signs. The whole of Yukon seems to be full of Germans – oh noooo. There is actually a direct flight from Frankfurt to Whitehorse – unbelievable. We met a lot of Germans on the road so far and they love it here. At the visitor centre in Watson Lake all staff members were fluent in German language as well. I always thought Yukon is part of Canada, but I think it might be a part of Germany :).
There was a stretch on the Alaska Highway where we saw a herd of Wood Bisons.
Nordquist Herd
Approximate Nordquist Herd Range along the Alaska Highway
- 1995 – 49 animals were transferred from Elk Island National Park, held in a temporary holding facility for two months, then released
- January 2007 – Population estimated at 100 individuals; almost all individuals were on the Alaska Highway or right of way at the time of the 2007 count
- February 2010 – roadside count yielded a maximum of 108 individuals
- Expected to coalesce with the Nahanni herd
It is the onlyherd of Wood Bisons in British Columbia. Back in 1800 there used to be over 150 thousands Wood Bisons in BC.
In general it has been very dry and warm up here this year and the whole West of Canada did not get a whole lot of snow, so it is going to be a challenge with forest fires.
Far more dangerous than the Bisons are the wild transport trucks on the Alaska Highway. Two days ago a truck swerved right into our lane and pulled back the last second. Maybe he was texting or falling asleep but that was pretty scary.
We arrived yesterday at Bill and Emily's place in Whitehorse. Bill is the son of one of my best friends: Curlie and Jan in St. Thomas. First time we meet them here and what a nice couple. Bill is a Highschool teacher here in Whitehorse and Emily is a social worker. Whitehorse seems to be a vibrant city – we will explore more of it today and tomorrow.

2017 a season of change at the Class A level
North Carolina, already one of the most well-represented states in all of Minor League Baseball, will have an even more significant presence in 2017 and beyond.
Minor League Baseball announced Monday that two teams will be added to the Class A Advanced Carolina League in 2017. In a related move, two franchises in the California League -- the Bakersfield Blaze and High Desert Mavericks -- will cease operations once this season ends. In the process, the Carolina League expands to 10 teams while the California League contracts to eight.
Of the two Carolina League additions, one is definite. The Texas Rangers will own a franchise based in Kinston, North Carolina; this team will operate out of Grainger Stadium and replaces the organization's current Class A Advanced club in High Desert. Grainger Stadium is owned by the city of Kinston, which has a 12-year lease agreement with the Rangers. A temporary website for the Kinston club launched Monday, featuring season-ticket information, merchandise and an opportunity to submit suggestions in a "Name the Team Contest." The Rangers and the city of Kinston will welcome the return of baseball at free public event Thursday, featuring representatives from both entities.
Grainger Stadium, built in 1949, last hosted Carolina League baseball in the form of the Kinston Indians. That team relocated to Zebulon, North Carolina, following the 2011 season and became the Carolina Mudcats. (In a corresponding move, the Double-A team existing in Zebulon at the time relocated to Pensacola, Florida.) Kinston, with a population of approximately 21,000, will be one of the smallest markets in full-season Minor League Baseball.
"The Texas Rangers are very happy to be bringing baseball back to the great City of Kinston," said Neil Leibman, chairman of the Texas Rangers Ownership Committee. "We want to thank Minor League Baseball and the Kinston leadership for helping us to make this a reality for 2017."
The second addition to the Carolina League is yet to be determined, with Fayetteville, North Carolina, the most likely possibility. Earlier this month, the Fayetteville City Council unanimously approved a memorandum of understanding regarding the construction of a ballpark. The Houston Astros, who currently have their Class A Advanced affiliate in Lancaster, California, have long expressed interest in having a team in Fayetteville. Astros president Reid Ryan, reached by phone last week, said Fayetteville "checks all the boxes" for the organization's fans and players but that this is still "very much a developing story" that is "happening in real time." If and when a new ballpark is ultimately approved, the team would have to find a temporary place to play for at least the next two seasons.
Fayetteville, like Kinston, has a long Minor League Baseball history. Professional baseball in the region dates back to the 1909 Highlanders of the Eastern Carolina League. From 1987 through 2000 the city hosted a South Atlantic League franchise, known as the Fayetteville Generals (1987-1996) and then the Cape Fear Crocs (1997-2000). That team played in J.P. Riddle Stadium, which is currently the home of the collegiate summer league Fayetteville Swampdogs.
"It's flattering that clubs are making a major commitment to become part of our league, enabling us to return Carolina League baseball to two outstanding communities where we have some memorable history," said Carolina League president John Hopkins.
For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
"As a league we worked diligently to explore alternatives to realignment, but the lack of alternatives combined with the importance of this project to address broader issues within Minor League Baseball led us to help facilitate this realignment," said California League President Charlie Blaney.
The California League's "lack of alternatives" included a lack of suitable future ballpark options for both Bakersfield and High Desert. Bakersfield's Sam Lynn Ballpark, which opened in 1941, possesses charm and eccentricity but lacks many of the basic amenities required of Minor League Baseball. Team ownership had tried for years to land a new ballpark -- most recently in Salinas, California -- but to no avail.
"Our official position is that we are devastated," the Blaze tweeted on Monday. "The sad emoji would also work. So much history...gone."
The High Desert Mavericks have played at Heritage Field at Stater Bros. Stadium since 1991 (when it opened as Mavericks Stadium). The facility, owned by the city of Adelanto, was acknowledged as one of Minor League Baseball's crown jewels when it debuted. (That year, the Mavericks became the first team in California League history to draw more than 200,000 fans.) Attendance plummeted this century, however, and before this season the team was involved in a public spat with the city over the current lease agreement. Mavericks owner Dave Heller acknowledged the acrimony Monday, remarking that "[T]he City of Adelanto's effort to lock us out a ballpark for which we have a binding legal contract creates too much uncertainty for next season and beyond."
Both Bakersfield and High Desert have one regular home stand remaining. High Desert clinched a postseason berth after winning the first-half South Division title, while Bakersfield is currently leading in the North Division. This situation led Mavericks general manager Ben Hemmen to envision what, for both teams, would be an ideal finale to their respective existences.

Hello everyone. Some of you might remember me posting lots of stuff in the now extinct M-rated content board in the ODB. I loved sharing my personal poetry and my "darker" stories that I didn't feel comfortable showing to anyone else. You guys offered valuable input on everything I wrote, and since that board went down I've had little inspiration to write much of anything. I returned to school recently, and for one reason or another being in the city and being around the group of people I live with down there really makes me want to express myself through writing.
Well, the thing is that my writing often tends to deal in the mature or obscene, often to the extent that censoring it and posting it here wouldn't really accomplish anything besides complicating what's acceptable under SSLF's rules. With that in mind, I decided to create a new Tumblr to focus exclusively on my writing. The site is called rorschachblotsoutthesun.tumblr.com
So what's this topic for, then? Well, I know just posting this stuff on Tumblr isn't going to get me any feedback, so I'd like to use this topic as a host for discussion and criticism. I'll post here whenever I update the blog, and if you fellas have anything to say you can put it here. Hopefully they're nice things.
My first piece, titled "According to Plan", can be found here. It's a short story about a couple of criminals trying to lay low after a successful heist. It's a decent length, at about eight pages in Word. I'm quite proud of it, having drawn it up in just two days. If you ever read my story "The Writhing South", you might see a bit of that in here.
Below is a list of links to all the writings I post. BE FOREWARNED - FOR THE SAKE OF YOUR OWN INNOCENCE, ASSUME ALL WRITINGS LINKED IN THIS TOPIC WILL CONTAIN MATURE CONTENT. Non-mature stories and poetry will probably be posted directly here instead.

Lord Carter NHS Ambulance Trusts report highlights a need for fleet management software
Investment in products such as FleetWave recommended within the blue light service
A recent report by Lord Carter titled "Operational productivity and performance in English NHS Ambulance Trusts" highlights a need for fleet management software. It recognises the benefits of specific software to enable the centralisation of vehicle and assets information to help improve efficiencies and minimise downtime.
Key findings of the report include:
A lack of common standard for recording and monitoring fleet information
The need for improvements to ambulance maintenance scheduling
A lack of ambulance specification standardisation.
It was highlighted that Trusts work independently from one another when purchasing ambulances, thereby by reducing purchasing power and increasing costs. Similarly, a lack of standardisation across Trusts when purchasing supplies could reap the benefits from a single, centralised procurement system. Fleet management software lends itself to such integrations.
Data capture was noted as being generally poor with older vehicles recognised as being more vulnerable to breakdowns. Such vehicles require careful monitoring and scheduling of preventative maintenance to minimise the risk of unscheduled downtime. The report takes into account the annual maintenance costs of older ambulances over 6 years as averaging £4,200 a year. These maintenance costs increase to an average of £6,900 once surpassing this age.
With older vehicles placing greater demand on workshops to minimise downtime, fleet management software has proven invaluable in scheduling maintenance tasks to minimise the possibility of unscheduled downtime which is detrimental to any emergency service.
Ambulance Trusts spend over £200 million on its fleet each year, excluding investment in new vehicles. With a combined fleet of over 5,000 vehicles, an effective fleet management system can challenge these costs by streamlining processes to create efficiencies.
We are pleased to be experiencing an increase in interest in FleetWave from Ambulance Trusts and other blue light services. Notable customer signings include the Wales, East Midlands and West Midlands Ambulance Services.
David Gladding, Global Sales and Marketing Director, Chevin Fleet Solutions, explains, "A need for improvement has been recognised which demonstrates a clear understanding of the benefits of systems such as FleetWave."
"Fleets produce a lot of data and managing such quantities of information can be a challenge. Data can often be misunderstood by the wider organisation in terms of strategic and tactical value. But those fleets who can measure and interpret data have seen significant reductions in administrative tasks and gained a clearer picture of fleet availability and specifications required during vehicle and associated asset procurement."
David continues, "Many of the trusts who approach us regarding our software reflect similar comments made in this report. Ambulance Trusts that we do work alongside have achieved notable process improvements and much-improved vehicle utilisation and availability. Cost savings have increased whilst downtime has been reduced due to the level of visibility such software provides."
He concludes, "We would certainly welcome more Trusts adopting FleetWave. Our proven strategies and best practices can be shared amongst other Trusts using the software, providing a more standardised approach that they would all benefit from."

Group Homes for Troubled Teens from Arkansas
In most cases, sending their child to a distant program for an extended amount of time is perhaps one of the toughest choices a parent from Arkansas will ever have to make. However, when it is absolutely necessary, the choice to do so is a critical one that must be made for the child's sake. Failure to do so could result in tragic, even lifelong consequences.
When met with this choice, parents often look to programs that they have heard of or are most familiar with. One of the most popularly sought after programs is group homes for troubled teens.
Group homes for troubled teens are a popular choice among parents from Arkansas whose teen struggles with mental and behavioral health-related issues - namely, issues related to substance abuse/addiction and mental illness.
Alternatively, some group homes are used as a transitional program where teens who have recently been released from a psychiatric hospital or juvenile detention center can be placed before they return home.
The length of time a troubled teen is required to stay in a group home greatly varies and depends on several factors, including the group home itself as well as the severity of the child particular issues - Generally speaking, this ranges from a few months to a year, and in extreme cases, even longer.
What Kind of Issues Does a Group Home for Troubled Teens in Arkansas Treat?
Similar to that of most programs that are self-described as facilities for troubled youth, group homes for troubled teens from Arkansas are well versed in treating a myriad of mental and behavioral health related issues, including:
- Mental illnesses eg. Depression, Bipolar Disorder, OCD, ADHD
- Substance abuse/addiction rehabilitation
- Dangerous, self-destructive behaviors eg. self-harm, eating disorders, anger management, and other compulsivity-related issues
What Parents from Arkansas Need to Know About Group Homes for Troubled Teens
Before parents from Arkansas seeking the services of this particular type of treatment facility get their hopes up, however, they should first be made aware of a few things.
For instance, while they are one of the most well known and sought after, group homes for troubled teens are often the most difficult programs for parents from Arkansas to place their child.
There are several reasons for this, the foremost being, most group homes are not, in actuality, designed to treat troubled teen-related issues. Rather, the overwhelming majority of group homes are live-in homes for severely disabled or injured peoples. While group homes for troubled teens, do, in fact, exist, they are far outnumbered by group homes that cater to the disabled.
However, in recent years, there has been a meteoric rise in alternative programs that offer similarly specialized treatment to troubled teens for parents from Arkansas to consider. Among them are specialized residential treatment centers that, similar to a group home, treat a limited number of teenage clients - so as to ensure the most individualized and clinically intensive treatment for each student is met.
Group Therapy at Family First Adolescent Services
At Family First, one of our foundational treatments is that of group therapy.
Through years of our own personal experience in interacting with troubled teens from Arkansas and beyond, we at Family First have come to find that when a teen interacts and confides in those who face similar issues to their own, they are more able and willing to open up therapeutically.
This shared experience, when combined with the comfort of a structured environment, allows previously guarded teens to explore and engage in new ways including developing new behavioral strategies, therapeutic role-playing, and one-on-one, intimate interactions with a psychiatrist or that of a positive peer-influence. dd
Unlike individual sessions, group therapy allows participants to interact with others who have mutually struggled with similar afflictions such as:
- Illicit Substance Use
- Alcohol Use
- Depression
- Anxiety Disorders
- Gaming Disorders
Group therapy is particularly helpful once participating members begin to develop trust in one another. It is this mutual bonding experience that enables members to speak freely and express difficult feelings.
Additionally, by participating in group therapy sessions the client learns to interact with others in a healthy and productive manner.
Looking for Immediate Assistance? Family First Here To Provide Help!
Family First Adolescent Services is here to provide help and ongoing support.
Above all else, we believe in early intervention: treating the mental and behavioral issues of a troubled teen early on in order to greatly improve their chances of achieving full recovery through treatment. In other words, our adolescent program focuses on treating the underlying traumas that often lead to substance use before said issues become long-lasting (or life-long) problems.
For further information or assistance regarding how we can serve you today, please call us now at (833) 241-7746.
We help families create a roadmap towards sustainable healing with ongoing continuing care support for up to a year or more after a teen completes residential treatment. Call (800) 881-9945
Arkansas Mental Health Resources for At-risk Youth
Many families from Arkansas who are looking for help, have made Family First Adolescent Services their first choice for their at-risk child who may be going through opiate abuse/addiction, oppositional defiant disorder, or bipolar disorder related dilemmas. Here at Family First AS, our practitioners understand the common issues that at-risk adolescents from Arkansas are faced with every day; and we provide help to our clients, so they can recognize and deal with their social-related problems in a way that is both healthy and productive. Our robust outdoor recreation and adventure therapy programs rely on connection, trust, and respect; thus inspiring an internally motivated change that lasts a lifetime.
Because working with highly resistant teen boys is challenging, most programs rely on level systems, punishments, and other behavioral techniques to manage the adolescent's behavior. However, Family First AS recognizes that the personal circumstances of one at-risk child doesn't always apply to all of our clients. Because of this, Family First AS' expert practitioners are devoted to the management of each teens requirements; and they do this with professionalism and sympathy. At Family First Adolescent Services, we involve the entire family (especially the parents) in the teen's therapy, change, and help. Family First AS has served numerous at-risk adolescents over the years. Our track record has proven to cause life changing results for our clients and their families.
Because we specialize in a variety of relevant residential treatment strategies (equine, life training, behavioral therapy) and offer outdoor recreation and adventure therapy, at-risk teen boys can grow to be healthy adults, and Family First' clients can emerge as strong people who are motivated to succeed. Family First AS recognizes that the entire family needs the guidance that our skilled practitioners provide; so that your child can be rehabilitated and whole. Family First AS' intake counselors can be reached immediately at (833) 241-7746.

Amazon – October 29
There wasn't another woman because flesh couldn't seduce John Richards. He lusted after alliances and information. Preferred to watch, take mental notes and remember. Coercion came later. Leverage to use against people. A sickness with one degree of separation from extortion. Cultivated connections to more wealth through blackmail. – CITIZEN KATE (excerpt)
A PSYCHIC PROFILER, Dr. Kate Winter's specialty is paranoid psychopathic narcissists.
Kate and her tight team have a new client, the United States of America. It will take all of their energies to fight the forces in power.
The way her psychic connection works, however, requires she cordon off her human emotions.
They interfered with answers she received before she'd dare ask the questions. When she gripped reality to control an outcome, her instincts were strangled. She trusted them to point her in the right direction. – CITIZEN KATE (excerpt)
Open channels of communication are required to ignite instincts that are separate from our desires. True instinctual nudges are meant to guide each of us in the best direction. It doesn't mean the direction we're guided toward is easier to make or free from conflict.
Steps on the path to the answer of a question may not be immediately satisfying.
Trust is required to take the full ride because one instinctual tug can lead you to another clue on the way to manifest your purpose.
But we live in the tradition world White men built.
So, a woman with psychic abilities and flawless instincts, which traditionalists contend negate her advanced degrees, is respected less in the halls of government, Congress and the wider world.
"My connections are deep and global. Kate's connections are universal." – Clay Zach in CITIZEN KATE (excerpt)
If you want to change the world and you're a woman of vision. You'd be smart to partner with people who bridge the gap between traditional societal expectations and the mercurial world of spirituality, metaphysics, and the law of attraction.
Kate's team work together to unravel President John Jefferson Richards' plans.
She had a premonition about the new president long ago. Had her partner Clay Zach begin the investigation. Turns out, she was right about the president.
How do you stop the president of the United States whose reach is worldwide and whose greed and treachery threaten the country?
"What I'm about to say is extra-constitutional. There is no crime because the target is a traitor..." CITIZEN KATE (excerpt)
The lure of savage power meets the determination of CITIZEN KATE.

STEPHEN HUNT is hoping to sign a new contract in January which will keep him at Reading beyond this season.
The former Brentford winger only penned a 12-month deal when he arrived from Griffin Park on a free transfer in the summer.
Although Hunt has so far been unable to nail down a regular first-team spot at Madejski Stadium, he has proved to be a valuable member of the squad this season.
The 25-year-old told the Evening Post: "I only signed for a year when I came and I would like to get something longer sorted out in January because I would like to stay. I think I have justified a longer contract.
"Nicky Hammond has spoken to my agent and hopefully there won't be any problems. I'm not one of the top earners here, but I have recently bought a house in Reading and would like some security."
Hunt has been regularly used as a substitute, replacing Bobby Convey down the left wing. Of the 22 matches he has featured in, 17 of them have been from the bench.
But he has shown his versatility by also playing at left-back and on Saturday he came on up front and capped a lively display by scoring his first goal for the club in the 5-1 demolition of Brighton.
Hunt said: "I think I have contributed to the team.
"I must have been the most used substitute in the division, but I think I have done well when I've come on – although there is much more to come if I can get a run in the side," added the Port Laoise-born player.
"I think I am putting pressure on Bobby and that might be half the reason he is playing so well. I'm not moaning that I'm not in the team because the boys are doing so well.
"I will just keep working hard and hopefully get a chance to have a run in the side."

What is Home Education?
In England & Wales, Home Education is when a child is educated at home, receiving all their education from parents, carers or tutors.
In 2016 it was estimated that around 43,000 under 16s were home educated in the UK, and that this is increasing by 60-80% annually.
Why choose Home Education?
Time to be children
Children in England and Wales enter the schooling system at 4-5 years of age. Many other countries start schooling at 6-7 years of age. The happiest 5 Global Nations, according to the UN 2017 World Happiness Report, have had school entry ages of 6-7 years.
Home education can allow more time with family and the opportunity to acquire a wider variety of experiences, which can help children become more resilient and confident.
At Fledge we believe the school system in England and Wales becomes too academic, too early.
Stress-free emotional wellbeing
School can be stressful in many ways for children and parents. Many have removed their children from school after bullying, or unhappiness at the rigours and pressures of school. Often parents of children with Special Educational Needs have felt school is unable to appropriately meet their children's needs.
Home Education allows for more balanced and less stressed children and parents, who can enjoy each others company at the best moments of the day.
More outdoor time and physical exercise.
Most children in school receive only 2 hours of PE a week. Home educating allows children much more time for exercise, healthier lifestyle and outdoor play.
Play-based and child-led learning
Many parents feel that modern primary schooling is too prescriptive, especially with more schools becoming academies.
Research shows play is crucial to cognitive, social and emotional development. Dr Whitbread, University of Cambridge, 2012, says, 'Playfulness is strongly related to cognitive development and emotional well-being.'
In our current school system, past reception age (4-5yrs), there is little or no chance for play-based learning. At Fledge we believe children learn best when they initiate learning, choose topics and have control over their own experiences, which Home Education allows.
One to one attention
At school children can be lost in large, and growing, classes. Their individual needs, interests and misconceptions are easily overlooked by teachers who are stretched across class sizes that could be up to 40. At home children can have focussed support and attention at crucial moments in their learning.
With increasing pressures on schools to ensure academic attainment for league tables the curriculum has become restrictively narrow. Schools are loosing the ability to teach creativity and teachers are denied the opportunity to teach creatively. Home Education allows complete creative freedom.

Southwest of Salem: The Story of the San Antonio Four
Documentary filmmaker, radio producer, and journalist Deborah S. Esquenazi has produced several short documentaries in which justice and identity play prominent roles. In her first feature documentary, Southwest of Salem: The Story of the San Antonio Four—a centerpiece film at this June's Frameline, the San Francisco International LGBTQ Film Festival—those themes are again central issues. But behind the scenes, they have been matters of more personal importance for Esquenazi, who, as a result of making the film, has come to publicly acknowledge her own identity.
"Part of the challenge is that I wasn't able to tell my own story, and I felt that I was losing as someone who was interested in intersectional themes of race, gender, and economics," Esquenazi now says. "Around the same time, I was really getting interested in radio, and what I really like about radio and film is the ability to record people's voices, record them telling their story. So I went to school in 2008 and took a radio production class, and I was shockingly good at it, whereas when I was a writer and journalist, I found that I was having a tough time finding my voice. What radio and film were doing for me was that I was able to hear people's voices, and then I was filling the space with whatever creativity I had…. What I was doing as a radio person translated so well for me, in terms of film."
Equenazi's viewing of the French film Murder on a Sunday Morning, which won the 2002 Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature and was about a defense team building a case for the innocence of a black teen in Florida who was wrongly accused of murder, was a critical moment in her turn toward filmmaking in 2008. It was also a film whose publicist would ultimately join Esquenazi to produce and promote her first feature documentary.
"The anguish I had from watching Murder on a Sunday Morning was the kind of thing that I was missing from radio," Esquenazi says. "I was missing the part where when you are watching, you are agonizing over the injustice of it, and I feel like I started to learn that as a filmmaker. I started to grasp that moment of when you are watching something, you want to cry—and to help other people."
A class in film editing and production followed in early 2009. "That was enough to get me started, and at the same time, because I know that the language of the artistry has to be as important as the anguish you are going to experience, I spent a lot of time teaching myself Photoshop and InDesign, which were very important to the visualization of the scenes that I would be working on," Esquenazi recounts.
By 2010, Esquenazi had hit her stride as a filmmaker and was making short documentaries, a process that for her typically involves doing a lot of research, conducting interviews, taking photographs, and then organizing those elements in an effective way. "I start shooting a lot of photos, and I start planning the design of what this is going to look like, so I take the files into After Effects," she explains. "So at the same time that I am doing research on the themes we're going to cover, I also do the visuals and design of what this is going to look like. That is all complete by the time we start shooting the film."
It was also in 2010 that Debbie Nathan, a mentor and colleague from Esquenazi's days as a journalist—who had written a book about hysteria over alleged satanic ritual-driven sexual molestation cases in the 1980s and 1990s, a hysteria largely fueled by now-debunked "junk science"—brought a haunting tape to her attention. The tape chronicled the stories of the San Antonio Four, four Latina lesbians falsely accused in 1994 of having sexually abused two young girls. The women were subsequently convicted, in a case that, today, legal experts and journalists agree was irredeemably marred by homophobia, false evidence, and coercion. (The women were sentenced from 15 to 37 years, but all four have been out on appeal since 2013, after one of the now-adult accusers recanted her story in 2012.)
Nathan encouraged Esquenazi to make a film about the case and sent her documents from the trial that made it clear to Esquenazi that the charges against the women were highly questionable. She initially resisted Nathan's suggestion to make a film, partly because she was reluctant to acknowledge her own identity as a lesbian, and partly because she was not sure she was up to dealing with the touchy subject of child abuse. But she ultimately relented.
"I can clearly remember watching the VHS tape, and the crescendo for me was when someone in the film, as the women are being taken away to prison, repeatedly says, 'We know you're innocent,' and I just lost it. Suddenly, I had this crushing material in my hands and realized, 'This is bigger than I thought.' Finally, I went to see the women in prison to interview them, and I felt almost morally implicated if I didn't do something."
Once Esquenazi decided to make the film, producing it unfolded as a meticulous labor of sifting through the sizable cache of transcripts from the trial and selecting compelling passages that would have to be visualized, a task that film co-editor Liz Perlman handled.
"Because this story is so complicated and spans over 20 years, we needed to incorporate additional visual elements to help clarify certain details," Perlman says. We had barely any archival footage from two trials, but thankfully had access to hundreds of pages of trial transcripts that were edited down using Photoshop and After Effects."
Perlman goes on to explain how important the trial documents were in describing the homophobia and prejudice that were so present in the two trials. "I was able to crop out certain parts of a document in Photoshop and then use basic animating techniques in After Effects to highlight harrowing words such as sacrificial lamb, she says. "Whenever the lawyers referred to complicated legal jargon regarding junk science, we referred back to documents to add clarification and move the narrative forward. For example, when defense attorneys Keith Hampton and Mike Ware are fighting for their case and trying to convince [prosecution expert witness] Dr. Nancy Kellogg to sign an affidavit letter in the film, we cut to documents highlighting her findings, which we discovered were incorrect years later."
The moral imperative of making a feature documentary about the San Antonio Four and the miscarriage of justice and discrimination they endured helped unleash Esquenazi's pent up feelings about herself and aversion to talk about them.
"I actually remember a soulful moment when one of my executive producers asked me why I needed to direct this film," Esquenazi says. "And I remember saying that it was because I needed to deal with my own fear of coming out as a lesbian."
Southwest of Salem: The Story of the San Antonio Four will be featured at the 40th annual Frameline, the San Francisco International LGBTQ Film Festival. It will be screened on June 20 and June 23, 2016

The determination of insulin in plasma and urine

We have tried to determine insulin in urine and plasma by means of aminoguanidine sulfate solution. The urine and plasma are cleared with Somogyi reagent. The filtrate is then diluted with water to the range of the aminoguanidine sulfate reagent. Our only difficulty lies in the compliance of the curves to Beer's law. The curves tend to give less color in the higher concentrations and more color in the lower concentrations thus the curves do not pass through or near the origin. It is our fond hope that if the Beer's law plots were straightened out the determination would be successful. By running determinations simultaneously at two different temperatures, it would then be possible to determine insulin and only insulin.

Great Recipe. I changed it to a sweeter version by adding cool whip and no lemon. Everyone loved it. I also added some grapes.
Dec 30, 2016
Delicious! I exchanged the raisins for seedless grapes (halved) and toasted the walnuts first.
Apr 11, 2016
Had a strong Mayo taste. Would Miracle Whip work?
Nov 6, 2015
I have made this exact same recipe with 2 Granny Smith and 2 McIntosh apples many many times but the addition of cinnamon takes it to the next level. I added a tiny bit of sugar also. I will always use cinnamon from now on!
Apr 20, 2015
This was pretty good.. I made 1 1/2 times the amount for 20 people, and I got about a quarter of it back. I think Waldorf Salad is a love it or hate it kind of recipe. I added a little bit of honey to the mayonnaise.
Jan 14, 2014
This sounds good, however it is a lot of calories for the serving size. Im going to try it with Low fat/fat free vanilla yogurt. Omit the raisins and add halved grapes! maybe add fresh broccoli florets.

Waldorf Salad is just a part of the holidays at our house. Believe it or not I used Cinnamon-flavored Cool Whip instead of the mayonnaise and it came out great! The cinnamon added a nice holiday touch. You can add a few tablespoons of mayonnaise for a creamier texture and to add some tartness. Either way it was a hit!
Sep 21, 2013
Easy to make and delicious! Will definitely make this again.
May 30, 2013
Made this for my family and it was a hit.

What a easy, great tasting salad - good change from the summer salads great for winter.

But fear not - there is plenty to explore...Shop all Blizzard Shop sale Blizzard
The most unique shape in the business and some of the best graphics of the year are totally appropriate for the Blizzard Spur Skis. More compliant in chop and easier to turn at moderate speeds, the new Spur is an entirely different breed of animal than its predecessor and features an asymmetrical tip and tail shape with a 26 meter turn radius along one edge and a 30 meter radius on the other. Creative freeriders (see Jackie Paaso) are already choosing a sidecut to match conditions, but we'll leave the experimentation to you. Don't be scared off by the 192 cm length of these bad rides; we've seen riders from 130 lbs. to 220 lbs. rock these with ease while sporting huge smiles. Stop merely dreaming about next season's epic pow and kick some rump with the new Blizzard Spur.
Rocker Flat Rocker – Ski profile with noticeable rocker at the tip and tail, flat in the middle. The noticeable curvature of the tip and tail favors optimal flotation in backcountry terrain. The flat profile in the middle guarantees stability on harder snow.
Asymmetrical Sidecut – 30 meters on the "long" side, 26 meters on the "short" side - take your pick.
Unique Asymmetrical Shape – Don't take our word for it, check out the pictures.
ISO Paulownia Balsa Poplar Beech Woodcore
Carbon Flipcore D.R.T. – Blizzard's Dynamic Release Technology, shared by the Spur, Rustler and Sheeva series, utilizes a specially shaped Titanal component that is full width under the boot but tapers toward the tip and tail of the ski, to increase the ski's playfulness without the weight penalty and without sacrificing stability. Combined with unidirectional carbon fiber in the tip and tail, longitudinal stability is retained while torsional rigidity is lessened for a more playful and less hooky feel.
Sandwich Compound Sidewall – All Blizzard skis with the exception of some junior skis are built with ABS or Phenol sidewalls for superior performance (stability, power transmission, handling) and durability.
Sintered Graphite Base
We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width.

Okay, so it ain't exactly a hard line distinction, but you gotta wonder why the media isn't jumping all over this. That Atlanta lawyer has multi-drug resistant TB…not extensive drug resistant TB.
Dr. Charles Daley, with the National Jewish Medical and Research Center, told reporters that multiple tests indicate Andrew Speaker suffers from multidrug-resistant tuberculosis, which is still serious and resistant to most of the common drugs used to treat tuberculosis.
However, it can be more easily treated with antibiotics.
The explanation for the two different diagnoses is that different tests were performed in Atlanta and Denver, according to a CDC source.
Daley and Dr. Mitch Cohen, with the CDC, explained that more than one strain of the bacteria can exist in a patient at the same time, and although XDR-TB bacteria were present in Speaker's lung tissue, the primary bacteria he has appears to be the less drug-resistant type.

O where is wisdom when by this o'erpower'd ? The state is censured, and the maid deflower'd ? And wilt thou still, 0 Squire, brew ale so
strong ? Hear then the dictates of prophetic song.
Methinks I see him in his hall appear, Where the long table floats in clammy beer, 'Midst mugs and glasses shatter'd o'er the floor, Dead drunk, his servile crew supinely snore; Triumphant, o'er the prostrate brutes he stands, The mighty bumper trembles in his hands ; Boldly he drinks, and, like his glorious sires, In copious gulps of potent ale expires.
THROUGH winter streets to steer your course
aright, How to walk clean by day, and safe by night; How jostling crowds with prudence to decline, When to assert the wall, and when resign, I sing; thou, Trivia, goddess, aid my song, Through spacious streets conduct thy bard along ; By thee transported, I securely stray Where winding alleys lead the doubtful way, The silent court and opening square explore, And long perplexing lanes untrod before. To pave thy realm, and smooth the broken ways, Earth from her womb a flinty tribute pays ; For thee the sturdy pavior thumps the ground, Whilst every stroke his labouring lungs resound;
For thee the scavenger bids kennels glide
When the black youth at chosen stands rejoice, And "clean your shoes" resounds from every
voice; When late their miry sides stage-coaches show, And their stiff horses through the town move slow; When all the Mall in leafy ruin lies, And damsels first renew their oyster-cries : Then let the prudent walker shoes provide, Not of the Spanish or Morocco hide ; The wooden heel may raise the dancer's bound, And with the scallop'd top his step be crown'd: Let firm, well-hammer'd soles protect thy feet Thro' freezing snows, and rains, and soaking sleet. Should the big last extend the shoe too wide, Each stone will wrench th' unwary step aside ; The sudden turn may stretch the swelling vein, Thy cracking joint unhinge, or ankle sprain ; And, when too short the modish shoes are worn, You'll judge the seasons by your shooting corn.
Nor should it prove thy less important care, To choose a proper coat for winter's wear. Now in thy trunk thy D'Oily habit fold, The silken drugget ill can fence the cold ; The frieze's spongy nap is soak'd with rain, And showers soon drench the camblet's cockled
grain ;
True Witney (a) broad-cloth, with its shag un
shorn, Unpierced is in the lasting tempest worn : Be this the horseman's fence, for who would wear Amid the town the spoils of Russia's bear ? Within the roquelaure's clasp thy hands are pent, Hands, that, stretch'd forth, invading harms pre
vent. Let the loop'd bavaroy the fop embrace, Or his deep cloak bespatter'd o'er with lace. That garment best the winter's rage defends, Whose ample form without one plait depends ; By various names (6) in various counties known, Yet held in all the true surtout alone; Be thine of kersey firm, though small the cost, Then brave unwet the rain, unchill'd the frost.
If the strong cane support thy walking hand, Chairmen no longer shall the wall command ; Even sturdy carmen shall thy nod obey, . And rattling coaches stop to make thee way : This shall direct thy cautious tread aright, Though not one glaring lamp enliven night. Let beaux their canes, with amber tipt, produce ; Be theirs for empty show, but thine for use. In gilded chariots while they loll at ease, And lazily ensure a life's disease ; While softer chairs the tawdry load convey
To court, to White's(c), assemblies, or the play ; Rosy-complexion'd Health thy steps attends, And exercise thy lasting youth defends.
(a) A town in Oxfordshire.
Imprudent men Heaven's choicest gifts profane :
SONG. SWEET woman is like the fair flower in its lustre,
Which in the garden enamels the ground; Near it the bees, in play, flutter and cluster,
And gaudy butterflies frolic around;
But when once pluck'd, 'tis no longer alluring,
To Covent-Garden 'tis sent (as yet sweet), There fades, and shrinks, and grows past all en
during, Rots, stinks, and dies, and is trod under feet.
SHENSTONE was born at the place his fine taste has since made so celebrated, the Leasowes in Hales-Owen. His first instructress was an old dame, the prototype of his village schoolmistress. Shenstone discovered an early taste for reading, and while at Oxford published a small
poetical miscellany. His father died while he was still very young; and on quitting college, and coming to his small patrimony, instead of engaging in any active profession, he led a sauntering life of elegant poetic indolence, going about from one fashionable watering-place to another, composing elegies and celebrating Phillis, whom he liked better to praise than marry; as, Johnson says, he might have obtained the lady if he had chosen. In this manner life glided away, and satiety and ennui crept on the solitary poetical dreamer. Shenstone's ruling passion was the embellishment of his estate, to which, by involying his fortune, he sacrificed his domestic comfort and ease of mind. It is not a little curious to see how the rural poetical bachelor is estimated by another of the same species, whose life was chiefly spent in collegesthe poet Gray. " Poor man!" says Gray, " he was always wishing for money, for fame, and other distinctions ; and his whole philosophy consisted in living against his will in retirement, and in a place which his taste had adorned, but which he only enjoyed when people of note came to commend it : his correspondence is about nothing else but this place and his own writings, with two or three neighbouring clergymen, who wrote
verses too." His lyrics are generally pleasing; his ballad of Jemmy Daw.
son is an agreeable imitation of the old ballad of Gilderoy, and some of his strains even reach true natural pathos. Every young reader has been delighted with the pastoral ballad. The Schoolmistress is a beautiful unique.

Israeli man seriously wounded in Berlin terror attack
An Israeli was seriously injured in the Berlin terror attack in which a truck drove into a crowd of people at a Christmas market killing 12 and wounding 48.
The wounded man's family reported that he underwent two surgeries to his hip and legs and his life is now out of danger.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Emmanuel Nachshon reported that Consul Liora Givon is on her way to the hospital.
Keren Sharoni, an Israeli living in Berlin, was 10 minutes away from the site when the attack took place. In an interview with Ynet, Sharoni recalls the attack saying, "I was in a store near the market when it happened. I started to hear a lot of ambulances and police cars and on the way back, I wanted to go through the market on my bike, but I saw police had closed the area. I asked what happened and an officer told me a truck drove into the market and ran people over. It was very frightening."
Sharoni added, "After the terror attack in Munich a few months ago, something was in the air. What happened yesterday was a surprise. My friends were really frightened and a lot of people told me they feel less safe now. Security in certain places is very high, so I don't know if that will change, but I guess I'm afraid to be in crowded areas now."

Adult Care Blog:
Group living inhibits social inclusion for people with learning disabilities says David Williams, chief executive of Ability Housing Association. How can we explain away the fact that a woman with learning disabilities developed a vocabulary of just 40 words in the first 50 years of her life in group living environments, yet increased her vocabulary to over 1400 words within 18 months of moving into her own, fully self-contained, home?
Conventional wisdom has it that people with learning disabilities will inevitably become lonely and socially isolated unless they share their homes with others similarly placed by adult social care authorities. Evidence to the contrary is mounting daily. The woman above is Jo, a tenant of Ability Housing Association since 2009. Ability is committed to providing all of its supported living tenancies in fully self-contained dwellings only. Is Jo socially isolated? Not a bit of it. Her social life revolves around her family – who can now visit and stay with her, in absolute privacy – and her local community. Jo was never short of human contact in her group home.
But then they say you're never so lonely as in a crowd. In the UK, according to the Department of Health, most adults with a learning disability live with their families. A further 33% live in residential care. Only 15% hold a tenancy; of these many live in group homes or other supported living environments with communal facilities.
Only a small minority enjoy a home they can truly call their own. Superior outcomes It's time for this to change and not just for reasons of equality and human rights. Self-contained homes deliver far superior outcomes in terms of personal growth, development of independent living skills and social inclusion. It is widely accepted that the physical environment is a major determinant of social behaviour.
Environments that offer minimal private space and more public space result in competition for control and supremacy. In staffed supported living environments this competition is invariably won by support workers. Communal rooms become gathering places for operational convenience, shared care activities, or worse, social venues for staff. A genuine tenancy agreement that offers exclusive possession of the whole home changes that dynamic radically and irreversibly.
