Steel prices drive firms towards aluminium
There has been a definite swing from steel towards aluminium in major construction projects throughout the Gulf, according to industry experts.
There has been a definite swing from steel towards aluminium in major construction projects throughout the Gulf, according to industry experts.
This has come as a boon for foreign aluminium producers who supply the domestic markets in the region. Most of the aluminium produced in the area by Dubai Aluminium Co. (Dubal) and Alba, is very high grade and is exported out of the region for use in sophisticated industries like automobile production. Domestic demand for the construction industry is met largely by imports. "Prices of steel have been rising. Last year they shot up by 50%. We have seen a lot of substitution from steel to aluminium here," said Anil Gupta, a general manager with Hindalco, India's largest aluminium producer.
An obviously elated Gupta points out that his exports to the Gulf have risen by 60% year-on-year for the past couple of years. Previously, the company's yearly export growth was between 5-7 %. "There are a lot of projects in Dubai. We continue to project growth," Gupta said at the Big 5 Show that runs at the Dubai World Trade Centre complex until December 5.
He said unlike India, there is a large amount of usage of aluminium in building construction in the Gulf. "Here, the spend is high on facades. Most buildings are made of metal and glass. New ones that are coming up are purely aluminium. Then there is a stream of exhibitions like the Big 5 where almost all the stand work is done in aluminium.
"Also, aluminium provides some insulation from the heat by reflecting outward the heat and trapping the inside heat, thus saving on energy bills," Gupta said.
"In fact, the tower created outside the Dubai World Trade Centre to mark the International Monetary Fund and World Bank annual meetings, has been created out of Hindalco supplied aluminium," he proudly pointed out.
He, however, added that the Dubai market has matured and that it has reached sophistication where growth would be in value added products. And that is what the company is aiming at.
However, other regional markets continue to open up, Gupta said while pointing to the vast amounts of construction activity that is seen going around the area.
Like other exhibitors, Hindalco is looking at Dubai as a base to supply the demand in Iraq and Iran when the market opportunity arises.
"We plan to grow the market. We are exploring whether Dubai can be used as a base for Iraq and Iran. We would like to export for reconstruction in Iraq. We have not sold in Iraq. We began some supply to Iran recently out of India. But Dubai could be a springboard," Gupta said.
He said Hindalco has been exporting some 800 tonnes of aluminium sheets and coils annually to the region for several years. Seeing the growing sophistication of the market, it plans to now start supply value-added products such as stucco, corrugated and flooring sheets.
"Last year, we had thought of coming out here with some kind of facility in Dubai. But that did not work out too well. It is not critical for us to set up a factory here as we can supply this market within four days from our depot in Bombay," said the Hindalco GM.

From The Socialist newspaper, 11 November 2009
RMT conference on political representation
The RMT transport union hosted an open-to-all conference on the crisis in working class political representation on Saturday 7 November. This followed the overwhelming backing given at the RMT's annual general meeting in July to the union's participation in the 'No2EU, Yes to Democracy' European election coalition, and a decision at that meeting to continue the discussion on the lack of working class political representation.
Judy Beishon
During recent months the participants in No2EU have been discussing whether another left coalition can be put together to stand candidates against the main parties in next year's general election (see last week's The Socialist).
Some leading individuals in the RMT are involved in these discussions, including general secretary Bob Crow, but as they are participating in a personal capacity, Saturday's RMT-hosted conference was not designed to discuss any specific proposals.
However, those who have been discussing a new coalition distributed a short text, stating: "As a minimum, we intend to stand against as many current cabinet ministers as possible, together with other ministers and prominent ex-ministers who have been complicit in New Labour's anti-working class policies". This would be "as a federal coalition under a common name, with a steering committee of participating organisations and trade unionists that operates by consensus".
Platform speakers at the RMT-hosted conference included trade union leaders Brian Caton, Bob Crow and Matt Wrack; Dublin Socialist Party MEP Joe Higgins; Jeremy Corbyn MP; and Socialist Party councillor and secretary of the Campaign for New Workers' Party (CNWP) Dave Nellist.
Joe Higgins
Joe Higgins emphasised that it would be futile to look to any of the Labour or Social Democratic parties across Europe for political representation for working class people, so alternatives have to be built.
Bob Crow criticised the TUC for failing to counter government attacks on working people (including on the postal workers), and said the choice between the cuts programmes of the main parties is that of dying by being "knifed to death or stabbed to death". "I want my own political party that's going to go out there, roll its sleeves up and fight for the principles we stand for", he added. And he went on to say that he is supporting, in a personal capacity, a coalition to fight the general election.
There were a number of useful interventions from the floor, including from the North West No2EU candidate Roger Bannister, who explained why No2EU had been right to stand against the British National Party's Nick Griffin.
The conference was a welcome forum, and although no votes were taken, the attitude of most of the 350 people attending seemed to be firmly in favour of a new coalition along the lines already being discussed.
The following day, at the Socialist Party's Socialism 2009 event, there was a forum on political representation attended by 200 people, with invited speakers from the Green Party, Respect, the Labour Representation Committee, the RMT and the Alliance for Green Socialism.
Dave Nellist and other Socialist Party members spoke in the forum, as some of them had also done at the RMT conference the day before, arguing that as the key forces for building a new mass workers' party have not yet fully materialised, in the meantime a coalition of general election candidates standing in the interests of working class people would be an important step forward.
The Socialist Party recognises that many workers may vote Labour in the general election as the 'lesser evil' to the Tories, in the absence of an established left alternative. But this is not a reason to delay creating that alternative; on the contrary it is a reason to speed up the process of building it.
Although the Tories may be worse, another Labour government will also make severe cuts to the public sector and launch other attacks on workers' living standards.
At both events over the weekend, the issue came up of how a new coalition should relate to the few left-wing Labour Party MPs, including John McDonnell and Jeremy Corbyn. As a number of participants in the pre-coalition discussions oppose standing against such MPs, the coalition will not do so.
Unfortunately these left MPs have not used opportune moments in recent years to leave Labour, to help spearhead the development of a new workers' formation.
The Socialist Party is campaigning for the building of a mass workers' party which would, in fighting for a national profile, attempt to stand in every seat.
When such a party exists, or to help with the process of building it, some of the remaining left Labour MPs may leave Labour to participate in it, which would be welcome.
The question of exactly when they should break with Labour is a tactical question though, linked to gaining maximum support from workers, and clearly the months before a general election might not be the best time.
However the ground has to be prepared by the left generally for convulsive events after the election, when the need for a new formation will be even more sharply posed.
The make-up, policies, name and structure of a new coalition to stand general election candidates have still to be agreed; discussions are on-going to try to involve as many trade union representatives (even if in a personal capacity), anti-cuts campaigners, environmentalists etc as possible.
But with the general election at most just six months away, time is short, so the advice offered by Joe Higgins when he spoke, to allow the maximum time for establishing the new coalition, was very important.

Coronavirus crisis - Finance appeal
The coronavirus crisis has laid bare the class character of society in numerous ways. It is making clear to many that it is the working class that keeps society running, not the CEOs of major corporations.
The results of austerity have been graphically demonstrated as public services strain to cope with the crisis.
The government has now ripped up its 'austerity' mantra and turned to policies that not long ago were denounced as socialist. But after the corona crisis, it will try to make the working class pay for it, by trying to claw back what has been given.
- The Socialist Party's material is more vital than ever, so we can continue to report from workers who are fighting for better health and safety measures, against layoffs, for adequate staffing levels, etc.
- Our 'fighting coronavirus workers' charter', outlines a programme to combat the virus and protect workers' living conditions.
- When the health crisis subsides, we must be ready for the stormy events ahead and the need to arm workers' movements with a socialist programme - one which puts the health and needs of humanity before the profits of a few.
Inevitably, during the crisis we have not been able to sell the Socialist and raise funds in the ways we normally would.
We therefore urgently appeal to all our viewers to donate to our special coronavirus appeal.

When your heart needs healing...
September 27, 2017
...find a quiet space and let it find its own rhythm again. If you give it time, it will remember.
...and if it needs reminding, sit by the ocean and feel the pulse of the life force around you, the one that runs through you, through us all. If you give it time, it will remember.
...and when the hurt persists, take it and make your own music. Broken hearts still sing.

The Satellite Teat Foamer is a foam applicator for foaming teat dips in dairy facilities. Up to 8 Satellite Teat Foamers can be used in conjunction with a Teat Foamer, depending on installation set-up and how many will be in use at the same time. The Teat Foamer is a pump-driven system that uses compressed air to power an AODD pump to draw and pressurize ready-to-use teat dip. The solution flows through the discharge hose to the foamer body where rich, clinging foam is created by injecting compressed air into the solution. A low volume of clinging foam is then applied using the heavy-duty machined polypropylene teat foam cup.

Written by Charles Soule
Artist: Tony S. Daniel
Pencils: Batt
Inks: Sandu Florea
Published by DC Comics
When we last left our heroes, they were dealing with a huge storm that by the end of issue #1 turned out to be caused by Doomsday. For anyone not familiar with Doomsday, he's Superman's physical equal, if not superior. At the beginning of issue #2, things definitely don't look good for DC's power couple. After Wonder Woman's battle with Doomsday, he just vanishes into thin air. Superman deduces that the links holding the Phantom Zone might be weakening and that's why Doomsday was able to escape in the first place. It's evident that they're going to need divine help to defeat Doomsday if he pops up again. Enter Hephaestus, the blacksmith of the Gods. After a short test of strength, Superman is deemed worthy of Hephaestus's work, but before the weapon is created, Apollo shows up at the forge to weigh in on Wonder Woman's new squeeze.
Charles Soule is making the absolute most out of his first chance to write Supes. In this issue we get a display of how powerful Superman can potentially be, and let me tell you, it's pretty damn impressive. I think my favorite thing about this book so far is the fact that it's more about a partnership between Superman and Wonder Woman, not their relationship. I've been pretty vocal about the pairing of the two as a couple, and Soule does a great job making sure that their relationship is a secondary storyline, not the thing the book focuses on. It's almost staggering how many characters from Supes and WW's mythos have already been brought into this series and he doesn't look to slow down any time soon. (The last page is a HUGE character and I can't wait to see what their presence in the book is going to stir up!)
Tony S. Daniel's art is absolutely beautiful. I love that Wonder Woman is actually wearing armor. Most of her costumes in recent memory almost look like swimming suits, not something you'd go to battle in. There are a few action sequences in this issue and he does a great job displaying the scale of power the characters in the issue are really operating on. These guys and girls are all SERIOUS heavy hitters! (The Supes & Apollo fight is INCREDIBLE!) Mr. Daniel also did the cover. I think it does a fantastic job displaying our heroes on a totally unified front. Props all around to Tony S. Daniel!
This is a book that I can't wait to read more of. It's only 2 issues in, but with Charles Soule writing it, it's already one of the first things I read when it comes out. (If the art stays on par with what we're being shown, it's going to keep crawling up the pile!) If you were on the fence about whether or not to read this book, because like me, you weren't so sure about the romance between Supes and WW, take my word for it; READ THIS BOOK. It's packed with action, humorous banter, and gorgeous art. At only 2 issues in what do you have to lose?

The Market
It was per chance I saw the sign for the Betty's Bay Arts and Crafts Market during my drive through the town yesterday – but what luck I did.
The market was filled with beautiful local crafts, pot plants, yummy homemade treats and even had a place to order some delicious bites to eat. I only had a coffee, but my friend Patrick ordered the hot-chocolate pancake special (one hot chocolate and two pancakes for R29). We were blown away. The hot chocolate had little pieces of Marshmallows floating on top, and rather than getting the instant coffee I had anticipated, I received a pot of traditionally made Moerkoffie. What a pity it was morning, else I would have definitely tried some of the other meals.
Stony Point Seabird Breeding Colony
I picked up a friend from the airport yesterday and when I heard he had never been to Cape Town before, I decided to take the coastal route to Gansbaai rather than driving the familiar route over the mountain.
When we got to Betty's Bay, I saw a sign to see penguins! Even though I grew up in Gansbaai, even I had never seen the Penguins at Stony Point in Betty's Bay and so we decided to go check it out.
Much to my surprise, the sightings were awesome! Not only is it possible to see a bunch of these incredible birds just off the parking bay, but (for only R10 per person) we were able to take a wonderful stroll down the wooden walkways and see loads more of these little guys, read about their habitat and life and see how they breed and interact! We even saw a couple of penguins moulting… hilarious how scruffy they looked.
I can't believe it took me so long to discover this little Overberg secret… my first, but definitely not my last time to see the penguins in Betty's Bay!

By: Ronald Schmidt, Associate Professor of Political Science
I'm a political science professor, but lately, elections keep surprising me and others in my field. Last Tuesday, at least, was a pleasant surprise. Not because the Democratic Party had a good night; all stereotypes aside, there are plenty of Republican, Independent and generally conservative political scientists. The pleasant surprise had to do with turnout. More than 47 percent of the voting-eligible US population voted on Tuesday, Nov. 6. Yes, "not quite half of the people who could have voted did so," doesn't sound all that impressive, but I'm afraid that it really, really is.
The last time that a larger portion of the electorate voted in a year when no one was running for president was in 1966. And political science, as a discipline, is bullish about voting. At the very least, more voting means that more citizens view our political system as legitimate and frankly, democratic representation depends upon the idea that our politics are accepted as legitimate by a majority of Americans. As the political theorist Wendy Brown recently reminded us, the "desire for democracy is neither given nor incorruptible" and political participation, including voting, is one of the ways that we preserve that desire.
Aside from high voting participation, what else can we take away from this election?
The power of party. Mainers are strikingly averse to admitting to their partisanship. According to Maine's Secretary of State, almost 37 percent of Maine voters are not enrolled with any political party. That's a higher percentage of the vote than any party has in our state. But that doesn't mean that unenrolled voters don't actually have partisan sympathies. Nationwide, a little over a third of "independent" voters consistently vote Democratic and a little over a third consistently vote Republican.
Independent voters might not want to admit to partisan sympathies, but a big majority have them. Indeed, intense partisanship is the rule in our politics. Democratic incumbent senators with long careers in Republican states lost their bids for reelection, while a Democratic senator in a Democratic state suffering from a big ethical scandal won reelection easily; Republican incumbents with their own scandals – including one convicted of assaulting a reporter – won their races in GOP districts. In Nevada, a brothel owner who died well before last Tuesday won a statewide election thanks to voters who preferred voting for a dead man to casting a vote for a member of the other party.
The parties seemed to be running in different elections. Many Republican candidates followed President Trump's lead, running on the assertion that the United States was under attack by Central American refugees (and spies from the Middle East?) and a defense of Justice Brett Kavanaugh, in hopes that it would mobilize their party base. It seemed to have that effect on part of the GOP electorate, but another generally reliable part of that base – college-educated, wealthier suburban whites – appear to have been alienated by the president's rhetoric. Democrats focused their message around two poll-tested positions – health care (including Medicaid expansion and defending the ACA protection of coverage for people with pre-existing conditions) and providing "checks and balances" against Republicans in the Senate and the White House.
The Blue Wave was tidal. By the time we went to bed on election night, the Democratic message appeared relatively successful. In the vote counting since then, the Democratic lead has grown, including in our own Second Congressional District, where our experiment in Ranked Choice Voting (RCV) led to the first loss by an incumbent in that part of the state in decades. Representative Poliquin is arguing in court that RCV is unconstitutional and the president claims that huge numbers of people are committing voter fraud by changing their hats and voting again, but judging from the turnout last week, neither has convinced millions of Americans that democracy is illegitimate.

Black Edge: Inside Information, Dirty Money, And The Quest To Bring Down The Most Wanted Man On Wall Street
Stock information
General Fields
Special Fields
Nominated for the FT/McKinsey Business Book of the Year
Long-listed for Financial Times and McKinsey Business Book of the Year 2017 (UK).
"Fast-paced and filled with twists, Black Edge has the grip of a thriller. It is also an essential expose of our times-a work that reveals the deep rot in our financial system. Everyone should read this book." -- David Grann, New York Times bestselling author of THE LOST CITY OF Z "A tour de force of groundbreaking reporting and brilliant storytelling, a revealing inside account of how the Feds track a high-profile target-and, just as important, an unsettling portrayal of how Wall Street works today" -- Jeffrey Toobin, New York Times bestselling author of AMERICAN HEIRESS "Black Edge is a real-life thriller about the government's attempt to get the legendary trader Steve Cohen on insider trading charges-and the lengths to which he goes to elude them. Using deep reporting and top-notch storytelling, Sheelah Kolhatkar is able to shed new light on one of the least known and most fascinating characters on Wall Street." -- Bethany McLean, co-author of THE SMARTEST GUYS IN THE ROOM "Black Edge is not just a work of major importance, it is also addictively readable-and horrifyingly compelling. Sheelah Kolhatkar pulls back the curtain on the cheating, corruption, and skulduggery that underlie large swaths of the hedge fund industry and some of Wall Street's most fabled fortunes. This book is as hard to put down as it is to stomach." -- Jane Mayer, New York Times bestselling author of DARK MONEY "If you liked James B. Stewart's Den of Thieves, Sheelah Kolhatkar's thrilling Black Edge should be next on your reading list." * The Wall Street Journal *

"You can still do anything your friends can do. Missing a limb doesn't define who you are. Enjoy life and be the best you, you can be."
Amanda Heller has aspirations of becoming a chef—and she won't let anything get in the way of it, even if that means standing all day on a prosthesis.
She was born with VACTERL Association. VACTERL Association is a nonrandom association of birth defects. The name itself is an acronym that stands for vertebral defects, anal atresia, cardiac defects, trachea-esophageal fistula, renal anomalies, and limb abnormalities. If someone is diagnosed with VACTERL, they typically have at least three of these characteristic features. For Amanda, this means that her right foot is missing three toes and the other two are "stuck" together, her right hand is missing the middle finger, and her left leg is absent below the knee.
When Amanda was looking for a new prosthetist, she visited a few different places, but was not satisfied with what she originally found. Then, she met Matt at Bulow and immediately felt understood. Matt knew exactly what Amanda needed based on their conversation.
A year ago, Amanda graduated high school and went on to attend culinary school at Nashville State Community College. At first, she was nervous about standing for several hours at a time, but she didn't end up having any major issues with her prosthesis. Amanda was able to have an "amazing" year full of learning new skills and making new friends.
Even in her free time, Amanda doesn't let long hours of standing hold her back. She still spends time standing in the kitchen to cook and bake, and she loves to dance. According to her friends, Amanda is the life of the party.
With a lifetime of adversity already under her belt, Amanda encourages amputees to, "Never give up. Don't EVER be afraid to try new things. If you never try new things, then you will miss out on so many experiences and memories! You can still do anything your friends can do. Missing a limb doesn't define who you are. Enjoy life and be the best you, you can be."

I wonder how many people have true patience. And most importantly, what true patience feels like.
I feel like I'm confusing patience with fear sometimes — as in, "yeah, of course [insert thing you desire most] isn't going to happen just yet, I have patience" when in fact, what you really mean is "I'm so crazy scared that [insert thing you desire most] isn't going to happen, that I'm going to shield myself from the avalanche of pain by trying to want it less."
Sometimes I feel like I can be patient. But it's always with things that I don't hang my spiritual hat on. Because when it comes to things I most desire, I find it very hard to be patient. And that's why I wonder how many people truly know what patience is, and how many are just using the word patience to describe fear, laziness, cowardice, lack of focus, lack of passion, false wisdom…
Today I'm trying to be truly patient.
Adopt the pace of nature: her secret is patience. — Ralph Waldo Emerson
The keys to patience are acceptance and faith. Accept things as they are, and look realistically at the world around you. Have faith in yourself and in the direction you have chosen. — Ralph Marston
For anything worth having one must pay the price; and the price is always work, patience, love, self-sacrifice – no paper currency, no promises to pay, but the gold of real service. — John Burroughs
Abused patience turns to fury. — Thomas Fuller (or Francis Quarles?)
A man who is a master of patience is master of everything else. — George Savile
He that can have patience can have what he will. — Benjamin Franklin

Patience is the art of hoping. — Luc de Clapiers

In the main event, Philly bantamweight Christian Carto, 14-0, 11 KOs, pounded out an eight round unanimous decision over Detroit's James Smith, 12-2, 7 KOs, 1 NC. It was an active and grueling battle, and although Carto was in control, Smith came to fight and proved to be Christian's toughest opponent to date. Smith came out swinging, taking the first round on my card. But Carto fought back and took over, beginning in round two. Carto looked sharp and showed many facets to his game in the fight. It not only was Carto's most competitive bout, it was also the best performance of his young career.
In the all-Philly co-feature contest, Christopher Brooker, 13-5, 5 KOs, out-muscled Jamaal Davis, 16-13-1, 7 KOs, to win a comfortable decision in their super middleweight bout. There were many good exchanges in the fight, but Brooker remained in control throughout. He didn't try anything cute. Rather he applied constant pressure and used his considerable size advantage. The third round was probably the closest, but I still gave it to Brooker, for s clean sweep (80-72). Two of the three judges had the score 79-73, while the third judge saw it a rather close at 77-75.
Philly junior welterweight Tyrone Crawley Jr. was having his way in a scheduled eight rounder against Anthony Mercado of Puerto Rico. He won the first three rounds and even dropped Mercado toward the end of the second. However, as we waited for the fourth round to begin, suddenly the fight was stopped in Crawley's corner due to an apparently injured left hand. With the win, Mercado improves to 11-3, 10 KOs. Crawley, 7-1, lost for the first time. The time was 3:00 of the third. The referee was Benjy Esteves.
In a scheduled heavyweight four rounder, Ronny Hale of Alabama, 4-11, 4 KOs, swarmed debuting South Philadelphian Dominique Mayfield, 0-1, and knocked him down three times in the opening round. Referee Blair Talmadge ended the bout at the 1:40, as soon as Mayfield hit the canvas for the third time. One earlier trip to the canvas by Mayfield could also have been called a knockdown, but was not.
In a brief junior welterweight bout scheduled for eight rounds, Victor Vazquez, Yonkers, NY, 10-3, 4 KOs, made short work of Philly's David Gonzales, 8-3-2-1, 2 KOs. Vazquez dropped Gonzales with a left hook in the first round, and although David got up, referee Benjy Esteves stopped the fight at the 1:56 mark.
In the kick-off bout at Philadelphia's Sugar House Casino, junior bantamweights Jerrod Miner, Philadelphia, and Rondarrius Hunter, Atlanta, fought to a four round draw. Hunter, 1-2-1, 1 KO, appeared to have the edge in the first three rounds before Miner, 1-1-1, 1 KO, came on like gangbusters in the final three minutes. He scored two sloppy knockdowns, but could not put the winded Hunter away. One judge favored Miner 39-35, but the other two judges called it even, 37-37. Miner had a 38-36 edge on my scorecard.

According to an article on CNBC, it could become easier for people with student debt to file for bankruptcy.
Lawmakers have introduced a bill that would make it easier for student loan borrowers to cancel their debt in bankruptcy. This measure, supported by 14 Democrats, one Republican, and one independent, is dubbed the Student Borrower Bankruptcy Relief Act of 2019.
In addition to its congressional support, a number of advocacy groups have praised the bill. Some of these groups include Americans for Financial Reform, the National Consumer Law Center, and the Center of Responsible Lending.
Experts say that a large portion of student loan debt is unlikely to ever be repaid, with the nation's balance expected to swell to $2 trillion by 2022. This balance far surpasses credit card or auto debt. Student borrowers owe an average of $33,310.
Current laws are in place to allow people with federal or private loans to walk away from their debt in bankruptcy only if they can prove their loans pose an "undue hardship," but congress never spelled out what that term means. Lawyers and advocates say the uncertainty leads to unfairness in court.
According to the article, "Stanley Tate, a student loan lawyer in Missouri, said the ambiguous definition makes it almost impossible to advise student loan borrowers on whether it would be worthwhile for them to file for bankruptcy. "What one judge feels is an undue hardship may be a simple hardship to a judge across the country, or in the same circuit, or even in the same building," he said."
This Act draws speculation and concern that droves of student borrowers will seek to ditch their debt. Others say that lenders may be more willing to provide accommodations for struggling borrowers if bankruptcy charge was available.

Michael Avenatti, whose reputation as a defender of the vulnerable was recently marred by allegations of domestic violence, announced in a Tuesday statement that he will not run for president in 2020 despite making the apparent preparations to do so.
Please see my statement below regarding 2020. pic.twitter.com/ztCfZUY6hA
— Michael Avenatti (@MichaelAvenatti) December 4, 2018
Avenatti rose to prominence earlier this year representing porn star Stormy Daniels in her lawsuit against President Trump, but quickly pivoted to broader political commentary and began to tease a presidential run during near-nightly appearances on cable-news programs.
After establishing a super PAC — which he dubbed "Fight PAC" to reflect his insistence that Democrats nominate a "fighter" to oppose Trump — and delivering speeches in key presidential-primary states, Avenatti found his ambitions derailed by a public spat with Daniels and a number of financial and legal travails.
The Los Angeles Police Department arrested Avenatti in late November on suspicion of domestic violence after his girlfriend accused him of dragging her across his apartment during a dispute.
Shortly thereafter, Daniels accused Avenatti of filing the defamation suit against Trump, which catapulted him to national prominence, in defiance of her wishes. She further Avenatti, whose law firm was recently evicted from its offices for failure to pay rent, of refusing to share with her the proceeds of a crowd-funding campaign he established in her name — though she suggested that her relationship with Avenatti had been repaired in a Monday tweet.
"Pleased that Michael and I have sorted sh** out and we know the accounting is on the up and up. We are going to kick a** together on two coasts tomorrow," Daniels wrote on Twitter.
While Avenatti and Daniels have publicly ended their feud, he still faces possible misdemeanor-domestic-violence charges in Los Angeles, and the Department of Justice is also investigating him for allegedly making false statements to Congress while representing discredited Brett Kavanaugh accuser Julie Swetnick.
The announcement comes just days after Avenatti told Politico that he believed his political stock was on the rise.
"I think the field is shaping up to be even more advantageous for someone like me, not less," Avenatti said Sunday. "I think my chances have only gone up, not gone down."

Since Hollywood's elite first began to visit Puerto Vallarta back in the 1950's,the city's status as one of the world's most popular destinations – for tourists,retirees and ex-pats alike – has grown by leaps and bounds. Today,Puerto Vallarta is well known among savvy international travelers and so far in 2013 this Pacific coast gem has attracted a wide variety of positive publicity for its affordable real estate,long list of amenities,natural beauty and safety.
In July the Huffington Post named Puerto Vallarta real estate the best option for retirees who are looking for all the comforts of home after doing an in-depth comparison with other nearby options in the region,including Costa Rica,Nicaragua,Panama and Ecuador.
"My top recommendation,specifically,is Puerto Vallarta,Mexico," writes the Huffington Post. "This stretch of Mexico's Pacific coastline has already been developed to a high level."
Specifically,Puerto Vallarta is very affordable compared to the cost of living elsewhere along the Pacific coast in the U.S.,providing a well-appointed lifestyle that is both comfortable and reasonably priced. With infrastructure that easily meets modern day international standards,top-notch services and all the amenities ex-pats are used to enjoying at home in the U.S.,Canada or Europe,it's easy to see why Puerto Vallarta continues to make headlines.
"This is a lifestyle that is available only on a limited basis worldwide,a lifestyle that is truly comparable to the best you could enjoy in southern California... If you could afford it."
Hotwire also recognized Puerto Vallarta this July,naming it number two out of the top five destinations on its 2013 Where to Go Now & How Guide. This coveted list leverages the website's considerable research,data and inside knowledge of the travel industry to determine which destinations offer the best overall experience and value,including entertainment options,cultural experiences,weather and tourist traffic.
In other news this summer,the BBC named Puerto Vallarta's Botanical Gardens on its most recent list of Ten North American Gardens Worth Visiting,which is the first time one of Mexico's gardens has received this honor. Situated just 25 kilometers south of the city,the garden includes an orchid conservatory,as well as desert and rainforest gardens that are home to a wide variety of local birds.
In addition,Forbes Mexico named Puerto Vallarta one of the top ten destinations for business travelers this summer,thanks to its ready accessibility through the local international airport to all of the world's major cities,flourishing real estate market and world-class infrastructure. Cancun,the Riviera Maya and Cabo San Lucas also made the list in 2013.
"Business tourism is on the rise in Mexico,currently contributing around six billion dollars,while generating an average of 150,000 jobs," writes the Puerto Vallarta Convention and Visitors Bureau.
The city of Puerto Vallarta has also been working hard to continue improving its many offerings,most recently launching a variety of new initiatives to assist the more than 13,000 disabled travelers who visit each year,including four first aid kiosks located throughout the city's main tourist area,as well as wheelchair rentals,canes and crutches. In addition,the local government will provide free handicap parking permits and has increased the number of handicap parking spaces throughout town.

Minister of the
Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine Olexandr Saienko outlined the key priorities of the Government for
2018. According to him, among the topmost objectives will be prolonging reforms
in decentralization, health care, education, agro-industrial complex,
infrastructure, energy efficiency, public service. He stated this during a
meeting with representatives of regional outlets that took place at the
Government House on February 2.
"Having the
State Budget adopted, the Government clearly identified several key priorities we
offer for 2018," said Olexandr Saienko.
In particular, those
include the implementation of a health care reform. "I personally deal
with issues of proper communication, coordination of central government with
local authorities and hospitals, so that to provide clear understanding of how
this reform is being introduced, what effect bylaws produce."
He told that in the
State Budget for 2018 there had been planned a resource worth UAH 1 billion for
the Available Medicine program. On
the commission of the Prime Minister, a mechanism is being developed to adjust
this program to rural areas (now it is only in effect in regional and district
centers). In
parallel, we are facing a challenge to establish a network of cardiologic
centers with the sum worth UAH 150 million to be allotted in 2018 for these
In addition, not
less important issue, according to the Ministers of the Cabinet of Minister, is
raising awareness among citizens of the need for vaccination. It
is planned to provide hospitals with necessary medications with the resource of
UAH 5 billion planned for that.
With regard to
education in 2018, as Olexandr Saienko
informed, the Government devised to expand a network of preschool educational
institutions, an a particular financial resource was
intended for these purposes. Also,
according to the Minister, for the first time ever in 2018 the Government initiates
a program of support for 'first grades' with a sum worth UAH 1 billion to
ensure the implementation of it, "the first-graders would be provided with
modern equipment, textbooks, and everything necessary." "That
is, we want the first impression of the first-graders about the school be
positive," the Minister emphasized.
According to him,
for vocational education in 2018, there have been planned UAH 16.5 billion of
additional subsidy for all regional budgets. A
resource worth UAH 120 million is intended for the specialties of the state demand
and UAH 100 million - for the development of infrastructure of vocational
At the same time,
the Minister noted that the Government cares about raising wages and employment
issues. This year about UAH 6 billion was planned to raise the salaries of
educators in the budget and UAH 4 billion for physicians.
According to Oleksandr Saienko, among other
priorities for the Government in 2018, there are agrarian programs included in the
state budget with a UAH 7.3 billion resource, in
particular, it concerns the development of livestock breeding.
In addition, the
Government engages in the development of the road infrastructure. For these
purposes there was planned for this year UAH 46.7 billion, plus an additional UAH
11.5 billion to be directed to local roads, adding economic effect is viewed as
primary, because it would facilitate the opening of new plants, additional labor
This year, the
Government continues to introduce energy efficiency, in particular, to
modernize the energy infrastructure to reduce gas demand. "In
2018, the Government budgeted UAH 2 billion for the
functioning of the Energy Efficiency Fund. In
addition, we also expect from our European colleagues a co-financing of up to EUR
50 million to be directed to fill the EEF."
Oleksandr Saienko emphasized that continuing the decentralization reform, the state will devolve more powers to the regions.
So, in 2018, an additional UAH 38 billion resource will be transferred to the ground.

It's exactly what happened to Juan Fabian at his Rocky Mount restaurant La Perla Tapatia.
"I complained several times throughout the years, and the answer was always the same," Fabian said.
He said the representative with the utility company told him they checked the meter and nothing was wrong. Juan said he didn't buy it as he showed us his bills showing how the restaurant's power bill used to be about $1,200 and shot up to more than $3,000 a month at the beginning of 2012.
"Something is wrong here, but they sent someone here, and after a couple of days they said everything is right," Fabian said.
Some of the bills were so high and too tough to pay that the restaurant's power was disconnected when he couldn't pay the high bills.
Out of the blue, in July of 2017, Fabian got a letter from the city alerting him that during a site visit and review of his account, it was determined the restaurant had been overbilled for electricity.
The city posted a credit of $26,169.53 for two years of being overbilled.
While it's a big chunk of change, Fabian was not happy.
"Why can I only can get two years back when I complained since 2012, 2013, and that much money that was taken why I can't get that money back?" he asked.
The city said it would only reimburse Fabian for 24 months because it's city policy.
Fabian reached out to me, and I reached out to the City of Rocky Mount and their representatives did look into the problem.
Good news for Fabian as the city agreed to go back to the start of the problem, which Juan said was in December 2011.
After my involvement, the city agreed to reimburse for an additional three years of overpayments which equaled a refund to Juan of $43,900.
When you add that amount to the $26,169.53 the city already paid to Fabian, he was refunded more than $70,000 by the City of Rocky Mount because of overbilling on the restaurant's electric bill.
"Now it's fixed, I'm so happy with your involvement," Fabian said. "I never expected it to happen. Thank you so much for all of your support, and I'm really happy the problem was resolved."
With the money, Fabian said he and his brother will be making improvements to La Perla Tapatia.
The City of Rocky Mount provided this statement into how the overbilling went on for five years, and how they resolved it:
The city became aware of the issue with La Perla Tapatia restaurant on Dec. 15, 2016, during an electric meter site scan performed by the city. Site scans are performed periodically to test electric meters for accuracy and to validate the results with information in our billing system. The scan revealed that the electric metering was incorrect and recording twice the actual consumption. This was due to the failure to record in the billing system the earlier replacement of the existing electric metering current transformer with a current transformer with a multiplier that indicated twice the consumption. (The electric current usage by large commercial customers is often too large to be registered by a residential type electric meter, so current transformers and the associated proper multiplier is used to record actual consumption).
The failure to update the proper multiplier in the billing system was the result of a breakdown in communication between the crew who performed the work and the electric meter shop responsible for updating the billing system. The city has reimbursed the customer the over-billed amount for two years in accordance with our policy. The multiplier was an isolated issue affecting this business only.
This matter is now being handled by the city attorney and the customer's attorney, with both parties working on a settlement. It is the city's intention to reimburse the customer for any additional amounts billed in error.
The city of Rocky Mount values our customers and strives to do what is right for Mr. Fabian and for all of our customers. Therefore, we will work to streamline the process of resolving any future issues such as these and make sure measures are in place to prevent this from happening again.

.. stood that his name would not appear in the program credits or advertising. For twenty weeks, the Mahalia Jackson Show ran on television for a half-hour each episode. Beginning in September 1954, the show did not last very long. Mahalias show featured her singing traditional gospels and spirituals with a few miscellaneous songs but the show was missing a major component.
(2) The show was in need of a sponsor and began to go out of business. The show went from thirty minutes airtime to ten minutes and eventually ended in February 1955. This was not the end of Mahalia's television appearances however. The TV station, WBBM-TV of Chicago asked Mahalia to be a guest on their program, "In Town Tonight". This pleased her very much because until that point, neither she nor any other black entertainers had been sought after by networks.

She once again asked that her friend Terkel be employed as writer of the TV show when she appeared. They agreed to her requests but once again declared that Terkel would have to remain anonymous. While with Columbia, George Avakian was assigned to be Mahalias artist and repertoire man. (5) When Mahalia performed time was a key element to her. She wanted to make sure she had enough time to leave the audience with her intended message.
Mahalia became annoyed with the television and radio broadcasters because she claimed that the first thing they wanted to do was to rush her and start warning her of her time limits. "Before you knew it, theyd start cutting you off", she claimed. To her, real gospel singing was more then just entertainment. She stressed her desire to get a message in peoples heads and did not want to be rushed. She was starting to make good money and felt that people show respect her and listen to her requests.
These were her five years of her ascendancy into the white music market. (1) In between concerts and broadcasts, Mahalia could be found with Mildred and her cousin John Stevens, who drove the ladies around in Mahalias purple Cadillac. Mahalia remembers the difficulties they went through as they traveled and they harsh prejudices they faced. She can recall a time when they couldnt find a single place to eat or sleep along the major highways. People refused to serve them because of their skin color. Some gasoline stations even refused to sell them gas, making their journeys very difficult.
In the pre-civil war days, black-touring companies were in fierce competition. It was a tradition for them to request their payments in cash at the conclusion of the program. They musicians and performers were forced to guard their earnings with their dear life. They often their money in their shoes or undergarments. Living conditions during Mahalias time were difficult and due to the circumstances listed above, she often found herself sleeping in her car alongside the road. Police rarely ever showed respect towards anyone of color.
Racism flew like mad. (1) In 1955, Rosa Parks, a seamstress from Montgomery, Alabama, boarded the bus as usual but proceeded to take the first available seat in the front section, which by law was reserved for whites. When asked to, Rosa refused to give up her seat and she was arrested and briefly jailed. In 1956 Mahalia was visited by Reverend Ralph Abernathy, a colleague of Martin Luther Kings. Reverend Abernathy explained that the St.
John A.M.E. Church in Montgomery was planning on honoring Ms. Parks and they wanted Mahalia to participate by playing a bracing musical interlude. She agreed and was a huge success. In 1957, Mahalia had saved enough money to purchase of home of her very own.
She bought a single level house with a small garage in Indiana Avenue, which was mostly a white neighborhood in the South Side of Chicago. Unfortunately with her choice of locations, Mahalia faced severe discrimination once again. An unidentified person fired air-rifle pellets into her front window. This was only once incident in the rising tide of racism. (1) Once again, another opportunity opened up for Mahalia to go on television. Dinah Shore, a top TV personality of the day, insisted that her network, CBS enter into a contract with Mahalia, having her appear on the "Dinah Shore Show".
Mahalia agreed and was quite pleased with her wide reception. This TV appearance brought along with it numerous opportunities for Mahalia. Columbia offered new recording dates, numerous TV guests shots, and various nightclubs offers. (2) In 1958, Douglas Sirk directed the film Imitation of Life, and asked Mahalia to be a part of this movie. Mahalia agreed and played the part of Louise Beaver, a happy "colored" servant.
After this films release, Mahalia made a guest appearance on TV with Bing Crosby and Dean Martin. She was in the business big time and was making big money. The fame and success she had always dreamed of was becoming a reality. (4) The call and response gospel style was Mahalias signature and Mildred never lost her way with that style. Without Mildreds blues chords, triplets and four-four bouncing, Mahalias art would have been much weaker.
Mildred have Mahalia the latitude she needed along with the freedom to adlib new lyrics, break time and alter the melodies in the heat of building the meaning of the song. Unfortunately, the conditions under which Mildred worked for Mahalia were poor. (1) Mahalia tended to be cautious with her money and severely underpaid Mildred considering all she did for her. When Mildred got up the nerve to ask for a raise so she could afford to live in a motel and eat out, Mahalia fired her. When Mahalia had money, no one could talk to her and she would close out anything and everything that she didnt want to get involved with.
(1) Good news came for Mahalia when George Avakian and his wife asked her to participate in a New York concert that would be performed in the Town Hall. Gospel songs and spirituals were considered serious and sacred music for the black church congregation. The "blues" were often considered sinful since they were secular with origins from the streets, alleys and barrelhouses. Brother John Sellers grew up in the Mississippi River towns and was exposed to gospel, blues, and eventually jazz. He loved these aspects of music and decided to cut his dependency with Mahalia Jackson.
(2) In 1953, John Hammond was making a name for himself and was drafted by Maynard and Seymour Solomon, the producers of Vanguard Records. Before John took off, playing in concerts in Canada and Europe, John recorded two albums with them. Big Bill gave John an open invitation to when the time came for him to separate from Mahalia. By 1958, John took Bill up on his offer and joined him willingly. By 1955, Big Bill had achieved celebrity status in England; he introduced Mahalia to the audiences in the Albert Hall.
Mahalia joined Bill on his program of blues and jazz. Londons first response to Mahalias gospel music was cold and bitter due to the fact that they were a stiff-baked audience and her performance was filled with melancholy. Mahalia, not accepting rejection well, left England and went to Scandinavia where the audience widely received her talents. (1) Brother John returned to New York where he helped launch a new nightclub called Gerdes Folk City. Students everywhere found enjoyment in hanging out in nightclubs where drinks and entertainment was cheap and they could enjoy the roots of music in jazz, folk and blues. Brother John performed regularly at the nightclub, Folk City, for a few seasons.
The blues music was popular but Mahalia refused to perform it herself, sticking to her gospel music. (3) Mahalia had gained an acquaintance, Martin Luther King, from when she supported the efforts in Montgomery. Mahalia loved to listen to what King had to say and saw her voice as a weapon for change. In May 1957, Mahalia sang at the Christian Leadership Conference held at Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C. The time for compromise was over. In May 1954, the Supreme Court decided to act on the case known as Brown et al.
V. United States, dealing with the reconsideration of the Fourteenth Amendment. For the first time in history, segregation was declared unequal, unfair and undemocratic. The community would no longer face "separate but equal" facilities. Progression was underway, or so it seemed.
Race relations collapsed in Birmingham. The three principal black leaders, King, Shuttlesworth, and Abernathy began the morning of April 12, 1963 in leading a protest march. These three leaders were arrested and jailed as a result. Disruptions continued as four little black girls were killed and fourteen others were wounded as the children attended a bible class in Birmingham. In mid-June, three college youths, 2 white students and one black, were found, executed Klan style.
It was following this incident in 1988 that Alan Parker produced the film, Mississippi Burning, in which Mahalia Jackson recording of "Take My Hand, Precious Lord" was the opening theme for the soundtrack and was under the main credit for the film. The trouble continued. On February 21, 1965, Malcolm X, a Black Nationalist, was shot point blank by three men in his audience. As you can see, Mahalia moved through an illicit world of race, politics and commerce. Mahalia believed that too many people were dragging their feet and she was filled with anxiety.
(1) In August 1963, the White House lawn was covered with swarms of people who had taken the day off from being mean to each other. It was a nation of people marching together. Mahalia joined Martin Luther King for his speech as she sang "I Been Buked and I Been Scorned". For King, this song gave meaning and explanation behind why so many blacks had made such a great personal sacrifice. When Mahalia worked with King, she saw herself playing a role in changing America.
King enriched Mahalia and encouraged her to become more politically involved and make her voice be heard. She acquired responsibility beyond her image as a gospel singer. She definitely lived a very full life.(2) On November 22, 1963, the nation watched in amazement, as one or more sharpshooters gunned down the President. Mahalia felt it was her duty to perform on TV for this sad occasion and sang "Nearer My God to Thee". At this point, Mahalia was fifty-one and her health began to be undermined. Mahalia traveled abroad from Europe to the Middle East, Egypt, Lebanon, Syria and finally Israel, the Holy Land.
Some of her final trips included India, Japan and Europe once more. When she returned home, Columbia records began to worry about her health and scheduled multiple recording sessions figuring the day was nearing when she would become too sick to continue recording. The world was changing along with many peoples views. Martin Luther King called upon Mahalia when he was in need of help. He knew that Mahalia had a strong alliance with Chicago City Hall and Mayor Daley and he wished to make an appearance with the help of Mahalias connections in Chicago. This event was set for May 27.
By 1968, President Johnsons "Great Society" was falling apart. The thoughts that ran through Kings head at this time would make one consider him a dangerous man. 1968 was a double nightmare with the double political assignation. On April 3rd, Dr. King spoke to his audience at the pulpit in Memphis at the Mason Temple. The night that followed, King was speaking to his followers on the balcony of the Lorraine motel when he was gunned down by a rifle shot from the building across the street.
The assassin was a thirty nine-year-old man who succeeded in killing King. On the day of Kings death, Mahalia was working with a friend, Jean Childers, on planning their chicken franchise business. Shocked and saddened, people were left wondering, what next? This was not the end. On June 4th, 1968, Senator Robert Kennedy was the next victim of being gunned down by an assassins bullet. The country feared that an organized conspiracy existed.
Mahalia pulled herself together and once again went on broadcast on CBS television in memorial of Robert Kennedy. (1) Mahalia realized her lonesomeness and had a healthy appreciation for the male sex. She needed a companion and that was going to be her next project. While singing for the church in Gary, Indiana, Mahalia met the Galloway family and immediately set her eye on the husband, Sigmund. Although he had a wife and daughter at the time, his wife died a few years later and his daughter left to live with an aunt. In 1964, Mahalia and Sigmund were married in Mahalias living room. Again, this marriage did not last and Sigmund claimed that Mahalia was too demanding, controlling and commanding and no man would ever be able to please her! Mahalia moved out to a small place on Lake Shore and the divorce was finalized in 1967.
Mahalia got whatever she wanted. In the year that followed the divorce, Mahalias excitement came when she received an invitation to perform in New Yorks Lincoln Center in a concert called "Salute to Black Women." (1) Mahalia first became acquainted with Benjamin L. Hooks, as he was her preacher. Benjamin recalls that Mahalia was battered and mistreated and she was so used to it that she had come to expect it. Many times she had been deceived, tricked and duped out of money that she worked hard to earn. She began to mistrust people and got to the point where she would demand payments before the second half of the programs. He demanded only cash, due in her hand. (2) Back to Mahalias plans with Jean Childer, they started the Mahalia Jackson Chicken System in 1967.
During this time, there were no franchise companies in the south that supported the idea of doing business with a black person. When Mahalia accepted their plan, the Hooker brothers agreed to work with Ben Hooks and Watts on this project. At this point, Mahalia was among the best known names in the black society. Six months later, the firm opened its first store in Memphis and Mahalia made a triumph appearance. Hooks and Watts added another company to their subsidiary, calling it the "Mahalia Jackson Food System". This company produced over twenty-five varieties of foods, ranging from peas to beans and corn. Working with the A Canning Company, millions of labels on cans of vegetable and fruits were changed to bear Mahalias name and her picture on the front.
A year after Mahalia's death, the company went bankrupt but had had many years of great success. (1) Although no one was ever able to duplicate Mahalias style exactly, many certainly tried. She held onto the notes for a longtime and changed the voice to a falsetto. Its been done before and certainly copied a number of times but none were as successful as Mahalia. Mahalia would forever have lifetime identification with the old-time Sanctified Baptist Church services. Mahalia still refused to go into the secular world but there was no need since she was making all of the money she needed.
Mahalia never lowered her standards in terms of what she believed in. People say that formal voice training could have ruined Mahalia since she had such a unique style of her own. (5) By 1967, Mahalia had moved out of her small home to a double condo where she lived with Brother John. She fired her life long black law firm in Chicago and shocked everyone, informing them that she wanted all of her business transferred over to Eugene Shapiro, a young Chicago lawyer. This was the same year the Mahalia began to fight depression and her health began to be jeopardized.
The stress of her busy schedule was beginning to take its toll on her physically. (1) Mahalias life long dream was to become a preacher in her own temple. When she arrived on the South Side of Chicago, she immediately idolized Elder Lucy Smith. Although Smith could not read or write, she had an incredible gift of persuasion. Mahalia loved Smiths dynamic presumptions and the public work she did for the poorer communities.
As Mahalia aged, she overcame her shyness and nothing held her back from approaching people, both black and white for whatever she wanted. Although Mahalia saw success during her lifetime and much fame and fortune came her way, but she never saw all of the fruit of her hard work. Mahalia had temple plans of her own and she would not be settled until they were complete. She made a donation to have her plans become a reality and thats just what happened. She wanted to create a monument to her brothers and sisters who had come both before her and would proceed her.
They, like herself had journeyed to the Promised Land. (5) On January 27, 1972, Mahalia Jackson died of a heart seizure at the age of sixty. She had worked too hard and had burned her heart out. Her death marked the eclipse of the gospels golden age. Mahalias works possessed a magical elixir that most of her competitors had been denied.
Funeral services were held at the Arie Crown Theater. The coffin was then transported back to her home in New Orleans. Following the traditional funeral services, the procession reformed at the grave and then the joy began. Bands roared tones of gospel music. For them, they saw Mahalias death as a step toward her long journey up the glory road. (4) Mahalias life had been run by money.
She had agreed that money changes people. Her friend, Brother John warned her that she was living too high and must come down but her fortune was much too important to her. Mahalia believed that people had the money she demanded and if they didnt, they would find it if they wanted to enjoy her services. She was wrestling with the two Mahalias inside herself. The powerful, public one had fits of anger, ruthlessness and times of unthinking. The other was extremely lonely and spending hours on the phone with her ex husband.
Inside she was a scared woman who was seeking a close companion. (3) In June 1975, a film entitled "Kinfolks" documented the life and music of Mahalia Jackson. Her art was her work; her work was her art. (1) Bibliography Encarta Encyclopedia, 1999.
