Hampstead & Kilburn
2015 Result:
Conservative: 22839 (42.3%)
Labour: 23977 (44.4%)
Lib Dem: 3039 (5.6%)
Green: 2387 (4.4%)
Independent: 113 (0.2%)
Others: 77 (0.1%)
Category: Marginal Labour seat
Geography: Greater London. Parts of Camden and Brent council areas.
Main population centres: Hampstead, Kilburn, Kendal Rise.
Profile: Hampstead itself is stereotypically, but not entirely inaccurately, portrayed as the home of the chattering classes and the liberal intelligensia, although the extreme house prices mean it is increasingly the home to city financiers, celebrities and business entrepreneurs. The desirable location, Hampstead Heath and direct transport links into central London and to Canary Wharf mean the rest of the seat is rapidly gentrifying and house prices rocketing as young professionals move into the area. Kilburn is a more socially deprived area with a large proportion of social housing and large Irish and Caribbean communities. Gentrification is having its effect even here though and the large South Kilburn council estate is in the process of being redeveloped.
Politics: Hampstead and Kilburn was created for the 2010 election, a cross borough seat based on the old Hampstead and Highgate seat of Glenda Jackson and the Brent East seat of Sarah Teather, who opted to fight the Brent Central seat instead. In 2010 the result was an extremely tight three-way finish between Labour, Conservative and Liberal Democrat with Labour only winning by 42 votes. In 2015 the Liberal Democrat vote collapsed, but the battle between Labour and Conservative remained tight, with Tulip Siddiq winning by only two percent.

*There were boundary changes after 2005, name changed from Hampstead & Highgate
The lab activists seem confident they'll win but i don't think so. I think it's a very narrow con gain. Not 2000 though. Still doesn't feel like a tory seat
Why have the tories picked a leaver here?
I'm not sure Tories picking candidates who were notionally "leave" or "remain" makes too much difference, since all Tories (bar Ken Clarke) are leavers now in the sense that they accept that Brexit must happen.
Incidentally I have a nagging feeling that Labour will hold on here, possibly even with an increased majority. Labour's vote share is actually not too far where it was under Ed Miliband*, just one ortwo points down on the general election result, and yet you hear stories of mass Labour defections in the North, the Midlands and in Wales. That must mean that Labour are piling on votes in seats like this, surely? I've said it before, the most probable Conservative gain in London is Eltham, seats like this are not moving like the country is.
*Of course, we are comparing polls to an election result. If you compare Jeremy Corbyn's polls to Ed Miliband's there's a bigger gap, but it doesn't seem fair to do that when pollsters have changed their methodology.
What is key to this constituency is what happens to the Remain Conservative vote.
If the Remain Conservative vote remains loyal as many polls suggest the Conservatives will gain this seat. However, if a significant minority of the Remain Conservatives don't turn out to vote or vote for someone else Labour will hold on.
@Plopwellian Tory
Whilst all that is true it was all pre-Brexit. In most seats I think the Con Remainers will stay largely loyal, but in a seat as small-l liberal as this one the Tory vote could take quite a big hit. Labour might take a hit too (many Remainers I know aren't too happy with their stance either) but I don't think we'll see any big Lab>Con swing.
Turns out the tory candidate wasn't a leaver hahaha. Jo Johnson was here today. His not famous brother lives here. This is going to be really tight but it isn't trending Tory and JC isnt a liability here. As much as he can be.
Some interesting comments. Of course there doesn't have to be a "a big LAB>CON swing" for the seat to flip.
If we look at (what I have calculated) from the recent yougov London polls we see the following shifts:
Amongst CON/LAB: LAB>CON approx 0%. So LAB > CON say, 500
Amongst LAB/LD: LAB>LD approx 3%. So 500 LAB > LD
Amongst LD/CON: CON> LD approx 2%. So 400 CON > LD
Ignoring all the other switchers and assuming turnout is similar then we would see a result approx :
But Labour may get NET 700 or so from GREEN. Maybe negated by more Labour abstentions and slightly more UKIP> CON than UKIP>LAB.
So very close. TCTC. My own feeling is LABOUR HOLD. Maj < 300
You said this would be close back when the Tories had a 20 point lead, now that their lead has shrunk to single digits what makes you think they'll win?
Even on a universal swing most of the latest polling wouldn't have the Tories picking this up and most everyone (including you) have admitted at one point or another that the overwhelming Remain vote here will probably hamper the Tories somewhat.
LAB hold: majority 500
Tories are not going to be gaining London seats from Labour, they'll be losing them.
"if it did then Battersea would be in danger"
Battersea is in play on current polling IMO.
"I'm not entirely convinced the middle-class Tory Remain vote will abandon the party"
Now it's become a close race a fair few may do so. A hung parliament with either May or Corbyn dependent on the Lib Dems, Labour ultra Remainers and SNP is the best chance of forcing the government to row back on Brexit.
Although I am sceptical of Labour's current standing in the polls, I don't think they'll get anywhere near 38%, I am fairly confident that they will hang on here. Siddiq is going strong on her opposition to Brexit and I've seen very little campaigning or leaflets coming from the Lib Dems, which means she should hoover up most of the disgruntled Remain vote. This is not a seat where May and her 'getting on with Brexit' or socially conservative agenda will go down well and so I can see Labour holding this with a majority around the 500 mark.
In retrospect, the comments and predictions here are quite funny (as they are for many seats of course).
I do hope the GE results will cure UKPR of its bad case of 'the Plops'….. So much for this being a 1700 Tory majority, and Battersea not falling to Labour.
Oh dear, 'Remoaners'. Is that the best you can do?
And silly forecasts are worse than no forecasts.
Serves May and the Tories right for completely disregarding and ignoring Remain voters as if they don't exist at all.
Sturgeon is a much better leader than May.
Much as Plopwellian Tory appears to view May's landslip as merely a kickback from Remoaners, it's clear that the reality is much more problematic for the Tories. In short, the population has endured a decade of austerity and is fed up to the back teeth with it. There's no answer to this IMO that isn't going to end up with a populist left wing government taking power some time in the next 5 years….hopefully not for long.
"There's no answer to this IMO that isn't going to end up with a populist left wing government taking power some time in the next 5 years….hopefully not for long"
That led to an amusing thought, apparently Lab have had another membership surge and are now approaching almost 1 million members!!! Is it perhaps folks like yourself deciding "hey if you can't beat em join em" in the hope of electing a Blairite to replace Corbyn who won't upset the apple cart too much when Lab do win.
I'm joking of course but still kinda shows how quick things can change in politics, its for that reason why I'm not taking anything fro granted going forward.
'There will be a Labour government by 2022 I imagine.'
Unless an election is held before then. If that happened, it would depend on who leads the Tories and whether people feel like they can trust them after this shambolic mess.
HH is gonna disagree but a boris led Tory party will probably get a con majority
Quite possibly a lot sooner than that.
Whilst we've all been obsessing about Brexit, the public has been fretting about living standards and public services, much of it under the radar.
We've had a decade of right-wing reaction to the financial crisis of 2008 and people have grown disillusioned with it, now perhaps we'll try a period of left-wing reaction, hopefully not long enough to cause too much damage.
I'm not qualified to disagree with you Alex F. If Boris saves us from PM Corbyn then I'll put my dislike of him aside.
If you're not prepared to "take any lectures" despite achieving both ubiquity and a bizarre level of wrongness, might I suggest you at least have the humility to phrase things as 'most polls suggest Battersea will stay Tory', rather than the self-proclaiming and dogmatic 'Battersea is not going to fall to LAB' a week before it does indeed fall. it's not being wrong that is the core issue: it's being all over the site and wrong all over it, then saying you were just going on polls, when you kept presenting it as your personal oracular pronouncement.
Must admit I had to look up 'oracular'.
DW is right. It's silly giving seat totals several weeks before polling day and also projecting seat winners months /years out.
Boris being PM is a genuinely terrifying thought!
Can't find it but a poll in one of the Sundays is very favourable to Boris. But HST is brand Boris no longer there?
Most extraordinary evacuation of approximately 4,000 from an estate in Swiss Cottage following Grenfell Tower deaths. I'm sure that there'll be little electoral impact though.
"I'm sure that there'll be little electoral impact though."
Depends if the voters are rehoused in the ward/constituency. If they aren't it will probably help the Tories a lot in their efforts to hold the Swiss Cottage ward in the council elections next year.
I suspect, if the GE is anything to go by, the Cons are facing pretty much a wipe out on Camden regardless.
Agreed. They all ought to be back by May 2018.
The tenants I mean back in a safe building. What an absolute unbelievable cock up and another reminder how poor and w.c people are ignored/shunned/threatened by the ruling elites.
It's good to see some action taken
It's all gone a bit wrong for the Tories in Camden, and it's not hard to see why.
They have still only won outright once there (inevitably in 1968) and 2006 was the only other occasion when Labour has failed to win an overall majority, despite Tory dominance in Hampstead for so long.
I met the Tory candidate here canvassing & she was very confident; a bit bullish. She was pushing the CON manifesto as her side's biggest selling point & twice urged me to read it. As I said goodbye,I told her I thought she would lose – & she laughed.
Re: the evacuation. It is the biggest since WWII.
I forgot to add that the conversation took place while the Tories were 10%; 14% ahead in the polls.
Tulip Sadiq has been accused of threatening a pregnant journalist at the end of a very tetchy interview indeed.
The delights from her included:
"I'm a Member of Parliament. You better be very careful what you say."
"Are you calling me Bangladeshi?" and ended with:
"Hope you have a great birth, 'cos child labour is hard."
I've heard of small man syndrome (usually applied to Bercow), but hadn't realised this MP is yet another female MP to add the list of McVey, Soubry, Perry, Allen, Rudd et al who appear to 'kick off' almost without warning.
Your being a bit unfair Lancs, the journalist in question was asking a rather irritating question assuming that because Siddiq is related to the PM of Bangladesh she should have the leverage to get her to pardon political prisoners there. I agree Siddiq's response was a bit dramatic (thankfully she's apologised for it) but it was another pretty dismal avenue of questioning from a journalist in what was already a charged highly emotive rally.
"the journalist in question was asking a rather irritating question assuming that because Siddiq is related to the PM of Bangladesh she should have the leverage to get her to pardon political prisoners there."
She is a close relative and as such probably has as much leverage, if not more, than Boris Johnson has with the Iranian government.
As such, though undoubtedly she found the question "rather irritating", it is therefore a perfectly acceptable point to raise with her….why is she lambasting the government on this case without lifting so much as a finger on a case where her influence is likely to have much more effect? I'm afraid it's our old friends virtue signalling and faux outrage as usual. It will not have done Siddiq's name any good to have her links to the highly repressive regime in Bangladesh publicised, certainly not in this muesli belt constituency.
"It will not have done Siddiq's name any good to have her links to the highly repressive regime in Bangladesh publicised"
If she had been an adviser or something it might be different, but people don't choose their own families.
"why is she lambasting the government on this case without lifting so much as a finger on a case where her influence is likely to have much more effect?"
Cos Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe is a constituent of Siddiq's while the Bangladeshi journalist channel 4 was banging on about isn't even a British citizen. Essentially channel 4 are demanding why doesn't Siddiq comment on everything bad the Bangladeshi government ever does at which point you might as well just demand she becomes a Bangladeshi MP.
As you know, I yield to no-one in my dislike of Boris.
But "going on holiday to Iran" is a terminally stupid thing to do, especially for a joint citizen who presumably was well aware of the risks.
The role of the British foreign office is not and should not be to rescue people from their own stupidity, even if they are citizens. The FO indeed make this repeatedly clear to everyone arrested abroad, from drug mules to drunken yobs.
This is true.
Equally it is not the role of the foreign office to get British citizens into trouble with foreign governments because of its own stupidity. Which is what Boris has done.
"Equally it is not the role of the foreign office to get British citizens into trouble with foreign governments because of its own stupidity. Which is what Boris has done."
No surprise that Boris's diplomacy was and is awful.
Nevertheless it is obvious to anyone that there is much more to this story than meets the eye, a truth which Boris seems to have inadvertently let slip.
Speaking of BoJo did peeps see the story that apparently the foreign office has been telling foreign governments to completely ignore everything he says when he meets them. That's utterly tragic if true.
Tories still have 7 cllrs here , 3 each in Frognal (the only ward in this seat where the Tories won the popular vote last year), 3 in Hampstead Town and 1 in Belsize where the the LDs gained two.
Could have been worse.
Tulip Siddiq has delayed a Caesarian operation to vote tomorrow.
Sounds like pairing has completely broken down.
It does- especially for amendments.
It's pretty shameful that it's come to this. She must be very stressed and her hormones will be all over the place. Hope everything works out ok.
What happens if she goes into labour during the division?

Prepare to Succeed on #GivingTuesday
By Bruce Mendelsohn
Bruce Mendelsohn
#GivingTuesday 2017, set for Nov. 28, means that now is the time for your nonprofit to set goals and prepare the tactics that will let your organization successfully use #GivingTuesday to raise funds, build awareness, and enhance its reputation.
Since it launched in 2012,
has been celebrated in the United States on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving and the ensuing Black Friday and Cyber Monday shopping events. #GivingTuesday is open to any official charity or for-profit business, school, religious, or community group interested in spearheading a project to benefit at least one registered charity or any type of 501(c) organization in the U.S.
Last year, #GivingTuesday campaigns raised $177 million, 58% more than the $112 million raised in 2015.
Because most Americans (62%) plan to donate more this holiday season over 2016, according to a PayPal study, #GivingTuesday can supercharge your end-of-year fundraising campaigns.
While some organizations have already started promoting their #GivingTuesday campaigns, a little sweat equity can get your organization on track for a successful campaign. Because #GivingTuesday is primarily an online fundraising initiative, direct your efforts to engage your online audiences: people on your email list and your social media followers.
The following three-phases will help you generate optimal results with minimal effort.
Phase I:
Actions to take during the four weeks leading up to #GivingTuesday
Set an Achievable Fundraising Goal
based on your organizations needs.
Determine the Stories
you will share in your #GivingTuesday campaign. Create an internal folder including relevant content (photos, videos, testimonials).
Create Hashtags
that reinforce your brand and highlight your #GivingTuesday goals.
Create a Donation Form on your Homepage
: Make the form prominent and easy to find on your homepage. Minimize fields on the form (keep it simple). Provide a range of suggested donation amounts (this can yield higher donations). Make the form easy to use for mobile users (on #GivingTuesday 2016, 45% of donations were made via mobile devices). Test the form before #GivingTuesday (mobile and desktop). Make the form live a week before #GivingTuesday (to coincide with your direct email campaignsee below)
Draft and Schedule Direct emails
: Prepare, finalize and schedule solicitation emails to be sent automatically a week before #GivingTuesday and 2X on November morning and evening (peak social media engagement times). Connect the emails to the stories youre sharing on your social media. Include link to donation form, hashtags, and relevant graphics
Communicate Externally
: Share your fundraising goal in advance with your Board, staff and current donors. Encourage them to donate immediately. Share your #GivingTuesday hashtags with your Board, staff and current donors
Communicate Internally
: Share with staff the fundraising goal, the communications tactics and timeline, and assign each a specific role. Staff should know: The stories your organization is sharing. Where to find relevant content. Who is operating which social media account. Who is responding to inquiries from curious donors
Phase II:
Actions to take on #GivingTuesday
Encourage staff, board members and donors to use their personal social media to promote your organizations #GivingTuesday campaign.
Stay active on social media throughout the day: Tweet to thank your latest donors, update followers on the amount raised, and share stories. Post photos on Facebook of donors (after you get their permission!) and share testimonials of why they donated.
Phase III:
Actions to take during the four weeks following #GivingTuesday
Follow Up with Donors
: Thank new donors in a personal letter, in a list on your website, on social media, and in follow-up direct emails.
Compile/Assess Results
: Collect analytics on new donors, funds raised, website visitation, social media engagement, email open and conversion rates, incoming call volume, etc. Share analytics with stakeholders (using pie charts, bar graphs, etc.)
Conduct Organizational Post Mortem
: Analyze your campaign success to learn how to run more effective campaigns in the future (whether for #GivingTuesday or others), and pinpoint strategies that do/dont work. Questions to consider:
Did you achieve your fundraising goal?
How many new donors did your organization get?
Which fundraising communications were most effective? (compare performance of image-
based posts and text-based posts, different email subject lines, etc.)
Which social channels had the most engagement?
How many hours did staff and volunteers invest in the campaign? What was the return on
that investment? Was it worth the effort?
Think about #GivingTuesday as you would other fundraising campaigns: Its not just a 24-hour event. Rather, its an opportunity for you to tell the stories that define your organization, cultivate donors who are interested and moved by those stories, and build awareness of your organizations mission, messages, programs, and priorities.

Whatsapp is very popular and therefore a familiar medium used across the world. It is available on mobile devices as well as desktop PC's.
WhatsApp is mainly known for its chat functionality, however it does also include video calling and document or media sharing.
This application can be used for the consultation part of your tele-medicine application to your practice. In conjunction with the remote desktop application you can conduct your testing for synchronous tele-audiology, or the test can be done with the patient during their scheduled appointment and once the health care practitioner has analysed the results, they can video call the patient to consult them and convey the information in a face-to-face forum.
"WhatsApp Business is an Android app which is free to download, and was built with the small business owner in mind. With the app, businesses can interact with customers easily by using tools to automate, sort, and quickly respond to messages. If you're a large business, learn more about the WhatsApp Business API."
"Business Profile - Create a business profile with helpful information for your customers like your address, business description, email address, and website."
"WhatsApp Voice and Video Calls: Speak Freely - With voice calls, you can talk to your friends and family for free*, even if they're in another country. And with free* video calls, you can have face-to-face conversations for when voice or text just isn't enough. WhatsApp voice and video calls use your phone's Internet connection, instead of your cell plan's voice minutes, so you don't have to worry about expensive calling charges."
"End-to-End Encryption: Security by Default - Some of your most personal moments are shared on WhatsApp, which is why we built end-to-end encryption into the latest versions of our app. When end-to-end encrypted, your messages and calls are secured so only you and the person you're communicating with can read or listen to them, and nobody in between, not even WhatsApp."
"Document Sharing Made Easy - Send PDFs, documents, spreadsheets, slideshows and more, without the hassle of email or file sharing apps. You can send documents up to 100 MB, so it's easy to get what you need over to who you want."

Bad news for everybody who enjoys to have a jaunt on Xbox Live as it will be down for 14 hours on the 27th March.
Between 8am and 10pm you won't be able to play against your friends over Xbox live.
However this downtime is not a sign that there will be a dashboard update as Major Nelson has stated on his blog that the reason for the downtime is so microsoft can do some "back end" work which was supposed to take place a few months ago.
Microsoft has said that there will be a big dashboard update sometime this spring however they have'nt stated when this will take place exactly.
Down time (especially as short as this) does not bug me. It just lets me know the XBL is being looked after and kept running smooth !!
All I've heard is that it will be available the week of the 26th.
Time to go out and smell the roses before, at 10pm, going back to chainsawing people on G.o.W.!
shivering was TUESDAY. Which is THAT DATE
Tho not botherd i aint payin 2400 points for it,itl use up all memory and take HOURS 2 download

North Korea's Crumbling Facade & Imploding China Relations
Posted by DavidDay on Jan 4, 2014 in Blog, China, Critical National / Regional Security Issues, Foreign Policy/Geopolitics, Korean Peninsula, Military, North Korea, North Korea, North Korea, North Korea, North Korea, Northeast Asia, Northeast Asia, Nuclear/uranium enrichment, Our Media, Regional Security/Flashpoints, Regional Security/Flashpoints, WMD/Chemical Weapons | 0 comments
The execution of the No. 2 leader in North Korea, Kim Jong Un's Uncle Jang Song Taek, was beyond brutal–savage by any account. At the time that this broadcast was made, it was believed that Jang's execution was by machine gunning him down while tied to a stake (this was the fate of Kim Jong Un's former girlfriend). Some hours after the show was taped, we learned of an even more savage execution from the Singapore Straits Times (http://www.straitstimes.com/the-big-story/asia-report/china/story/jangs-execution-bodes-ill-china-20131224 )
"According to the report, unlike previous executions of political prisoners which were carried out by firing squads with machine guns, Jang was stripped naked and thrown into a cage, along with his five closest aides. Then 120 hounds, starved for three days, were allowed to prey on them until they were completely eaten up. This is called "quan jue", or execution by dogs.
The report said the entire process lasted for an hour, with Mr Kim Jong Un, the supreme leader in North Korea, supervising it along with 300 senior officials.
The horrifying report vividly depicted the brutality of the young North Korean leader. The fact that it appeared in a Beijing- controlled newspaper showed that China no longer cares about its relations with the Kim regime."
It is hard to imagine such savagery which puts it on a scale rivaled perhaps only by Pol Pot's genocide, the Holocaust, and others of similar ilk. Whether or not the report is true, we shall have to wait and see but whether Jang was e executed by machine gun or by dogs, the result is the same–the former is less sensational.*
Jang's execution means what for North Korea? Was there, in reality, a coup d'état or an attemped one? Was the Jang execution a good or bad? Was it necessary?
The North Korea policy wonks and observers are all over the map as to why this has happened and what it means for the future of the Hermit Kingdom. We turned to the fascinating perspective of an American who has recently returned from yet another trip to North Korea to understand what is actually going on on the ground. Patrick Border is an American citizen diplomat and veteran Hawaii North Korea traveler. We had an unusual conversation with Mr. Border as to the real "why" behind recent events in North Korea (Kenneth Bae, Merrill Newman and Dennis Rodman's NBA exhibition game tryouts) and, in particular, Uncle Jang's execution and its future implications.
During this interview, Mr. Border discusses the armed conflict within North Korea between the respective factions of economic reformer Jang and the North Korean military, with officers of military being killed. He talks about the instability of the Regime, the "overreaching" that Jang's execution signals as well as the potential for steps towards a "People's Power" tipping point in North Korea. Mr. Border emphasizes that Jang was North Korea's point man for its relations with China and that relationship is now bitterly shattered and he reveals just what he has seen in Pyongyang that proves this. He left us with the ominous perspective that North Korean Regime is now isolated–even more than ever with its old mentor and protector, China, shut out–and that the shabby facade that the Regime holds up to the global community is crumbling, its dirty linen has been aired like never before, and there are now clear factions in North Korea with people forced to choose sides.

So what are China's next strategy moves in the Asia-Pacific Region? What does the PLA really think about the U.S. military and its capabilities? –a bizarre perception that encourages them to push harder now.
China has now been successful at establishing its Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ) in the South China Sea. In the process, we have seen a bizarre, almost schizophrenic, series of contradictory communications on the subject coming out of Washington that have enhanced China's successful roll-out.
Following the roll-out, China's lone aircraft carrier (sans aircraft) departed for the South China Sea for a "show the flag" cruise. Next, we witnessed a near collision by U.S. and Chinese naval ships in the South China Sea.
This program is Part 2 of the conversation between David Day and China-Hand Michael Sacharski. Mr. Sacharski has spent some 3+ decades in China, met and worked with various members of its leadership and has fascinating perspectives to share about China's ADIZ planning & gameplan, its unexpected success in the imposition of its new ADIZ in the East China Sea, and what strategic moves we can now expect China to make in the Asia-Pacific Region in the near term. Mr. Sacharski is the CEO of Pacific Enterprise Capital.
China's New ADIZ

Are there unusual crossovers of the new China ADIZ (Air Defense Identification Zone) with both Taiwan and South Korea? There are and the Taiwan piece is perhaps something that most people do not know. Is China's new ADIZ over the Senkaku islands a precursor to further ADIZs China may have in mind? What is this new Air Defense Zone that China has imposed in the East China Sea all about? How did we get here? What about the schizophrenic, wires-crossed responses coming out of the Pentagon and the State Department?
"Asia in Review" host David Day engages in a fascinating conversation with special guest Michael Sacharski. Mr. Sacharski has lived and worked in China as an American executive and entrepreneur for some 3+ decades and shares some interesting insights into the Chinese thinking behind this new strategy.

In this broadcast,"Asia-in- Review" Host Hong Jiang explores Russia's recent foreign policy and geopolitical shifts into Asia followed by its fascinating energy moves into the Region with international business lawyer & professor, David Day.
The program starts with the recent Russian foreign policy moves into the Middle East after the U.S. Syria debacle, followed by the new Russian military arms sales to Egypt, and some discussion of Russia's client nuclear state, Iran. The Russian geopolitical moves into Asia are next, as Hong Jiang discusses with Mr. Day, Putin's recent trip to Vietnam, along with Russia's (1) Kilo class submarine sales to Vietnam,(2) mutual defense pact, and then (3), new joint venture operations between Vietnam's PetroVietnam and Russian energy companies for joint oil & gas exploration efforts in both the South China ("East Sea" in Vietnam) and the Artic Seas.
Next, the conversation turns to the critical and fascinating energy "pivot" that Russia is now engaged in, shifting its focus from its former European gas and oil pipeline customers to new pipeline developments with Japan, South Korea, and yes, even North Korea.
Russia's foreign policy regarding The Korean Peninsula is also probed.Read More
American Eyes Inside North Korea's Nuclear Facilities and Others

Hosted by David Day, this television program aired statewide in Hawaii and features, as its special guest, Ms. Nicole Finneman, formerly with the Korea Economic Institute in Washington, D.C. Ms. Finneman, an American eyewitness inside North Korea's Yongbyon nuclear facility and other fascinating facilities and locations throughout the country, talks about those experiences.
The conversation turns from the Yongbyon visit to the potential business and commerce development in North Korea and references American firms now lining up to do business in North Korea in the future, including the Korean-American-owned, Pyongyang University of Science and Technology (a private university).
Ms. Finneman talks about her visits to various commercial enterprises, the Koryolink mobile phone explosion in the country, and the market/commercial developments within the country. (Koryolink, a joint venture between the Egyptian company Orascom Telecom Holdings and the state-owned Korea Post and Telecommunications Corporation, is North Korea's only 3G mobile operator.)
Nicole also discusses her visit to the digital libraries at Kim Il Sung University and their remarkable high tech facilities which many universities in the U.S. currently do not have…but only connected to an intranet–no internet.
Finally, Ms. Finneman and David Day talk about the infrastructure for commerce and foreign investment that is now being put into place in North Korea and her crystal-ball view of the potential for change in that country.Read More
The Korean War & Its Armistice: Unfinished Framework for a Future
Posted by DavidDay on Aug 11, 2013 in Critical National / Regional Security Issues, Disaster Prep & Humanitarian Aid, Foreign Policy/Geopolitics, Japan, Korean Peninsula, Military, North Korea, Nuclear, Our Media, Pacific Forum CSIS, PRC/China, South Korea | 0 comments
June 25, 1950 marked the beginning of the Korean War and in Hawaii, as well as in many other locations around the globe, ceremonies of commemoration were held. The ceremony in Hawaii is the starting point for this conversation that covers a brief overview of the Korean War, its decimation of South Korea, and the uneasy truce that punctuates the DMZ–all of which has served to create a framework for the unfinished future of Northeast Asia. Korean Consul Kim discusses the rise of South Korea, literally from ashes, to the global stage and credits that rise, in significant part, to the critical involvement of the United States in the war and its assistance to South Korea in the rebuilding process.
Seongho Kim, talks about the missing piece in the framework for Northeast Asia–North Korea. He also emphasizes that the Korean War Armistice froze the 2 Koreas in place, along the DMZ, and effectively blocked the Korean peninsula from developing economically to its full potential. Both Counsel Kim and Seongho drill down on the missing piece and the need to somehow get North Korea back to the bargaining table for not only nuclear talks but also the discussion of economic development (for North Korea) options.
Finally, the discussion between Consul Kim, Seongho Hong and Kerry Gershaneck looks at Mdme. President Park's current visit to Beijing and the interesting language issued in the Joint Communique between China and South Korea directed at North Korea.

The Asia-Pacific Region's Flashpoints: An Update
Posted by DavidDay on Aug 5, 2013 in All Southeast Asia, Blog, Burma/Myanmar, China, Foreign Policy/Geopolitics, Indonesia, Indonesia, Japan, Japan, Korean Peninsula, Military, Myanmar/Burma, North Korea, North Korea, Our Media, Pacific Forum CSIS, Philippines, PRC/China, Russia, South Korea, Taiwan, Vietnam, Vietnam | 0 comments
Pacific Forum CSIS's Executive Director, Brad Glosserman, reviews with David Day the key tense and potentially dangerous security Flashpoints that the Asia-Pacific Region now faces.
The conversation places these Flashpoints in the context of the rising economic dynamism of the Region, the re-focus of the "whole of government and business" into the Region and its need for stability and security. Potential border spillover Flashpoints are considered with (1) the ethnic violence in Myanmar,(2) the latest developments in the South China Sea disputes (including the possibility of China now dragging Malaysia into the fray, in addition to the Philippines and Vietnam), (3) China's dispute with Japan over the Senkakus, and (4) the current situation with the enhanced bellicose rhetoric coming out of North Korea.

Chalk Up Yet Another Successful Round for North Korea
Posted by DavidDay on Apr 14, 2013 in Articles, Blog, China, Korean Peninsula, Korean Peninsula, North Korea, North Korea, North Korea | 0 comments
North Korea has done it again, but this time at the helm of its new, young leader, Kim Jong Un. Meaning what? The current round of enflamed bellicosity has served North Korea well. It has been a 24/7 infomercial for the country's arms sales client states, including Iran and Syria, as well as other potential rogue countries and terrorist organizations. The infomercial continues to underscore the respect that the most developed nations in the world accord North Korean arms technology and weaponry. It also sends a strong message of encouragement for other would-be nuclear regimes to get into the nuclear club as quickly as possible (i.e. Syria and Iran) as a means of status, and more importantly, regime preservation.
The nuclear option, North Korea teaches, makes even the most outrageous conduct acceptable and immunizes a regime from attack. It is a powerful message and demonstration by Pyongyang that does not serve the interests of peace and stability well. Secretary Kerry's entreaty to North Korea that the U.S. is willing now to sit down and talk, provided Pyongyang will agree to give up the nuclear card is somewhere between silly and naive. Perhaps it is a good policy statement for the folks in Foggy Bottom, but it is just not going to happen.
Despite another successful dictator encouragement/arms sales PR round, Pyongyang still needs the final offramp to get off the current bellicosity highway. The threatened missile test is one option—but a dangerous one. The rhetoric is been cranked up so high that a missile test will have to be executed in a direction certain not to arouse confusion or mistake and a possible retaliatory strike. Even a short range missile test is a risky move for Pyongyang under the current atmosphere that it has created. What then is the offramp option? Prepare for a second nuclear test. This will allow Pyongyang to pull off a move not likely to generate a retaliatory strike– plus it has the added propaganda and PR advantage of North Korea thumbing its nose to the United Nations, China and the U.S. in the face of the recent sanctions imposed on it for the country's last nuclear test earlier this year.
So when is such a test likely to occur? The best propaganda move for Pyongyang would be to execute the test on or around April 15, when a large celebration is planned for the country. April 15th is a significant date for North Korea. It is the birthdate of the current leader's grandfather, Kim Il Sung. The deceased grandfather is known as North Korea's "Eternal President" or "President for life."
There is greater significance beyond just the office held between the former North Korean leader, Kim Il Sung, and their current leader Kim Jong Un. The link between the two comes by a rarely spoken of yet incredibly important female by name of Kim Kyong-hui.
Kim Kyong-hui is one of the last living "old guard" within North Korea's communist dynasty. She is Kim Jong Un's aunt and just so happens to be the daughter of North Korea's "Eternal President." Many intelligence analysts who focus on Asian affairs believe Kim Kyong-hui is the true leader in North Korea today as she is the one who specifically instructs Kim Jong Un on each decision he makes.
So how does all of this fit together? April 15, and the days around it, is the opportunity for Kim Jong Un to please his most important Aunt and mentor. He can do this with a major display of the country's military might. A show of strength works wonders to show her that her father's country is in strong, capable hands.
It all comes together in the coming hours and days. This round has been won and the offramps of a nuclear test and the more risky, missile test are in sight.

1987 was a great year for the action movie. Arnie would solidify his action-star status with Predator; Paul Verhoeven would bring us to new levels of bleak satire and gore with Robocop; and Frank Langella would reach the nadir of his career as Skeletor in Masters of the Universe.
With a budget of $17 million that ballooned to $22 million, the He-Man movie had more money than Predator, Robocop, and Full Metal Jacket. Most of it seems to have been spent on an extended, boring chase sequence on hoverboards through alleys in the abandoned California town. The effects aren't bad, it's just horribly choreographed and directed. At one point when He-Man is supposed to be flipping over and coming back at a baddie flying after him, they just show Dolph Lundgren's head upside down. Great job. Darth Milk and I aren't good at the maths, but we figured out how you take a budget millions larger than 3 classics and get a crappy movie:
$17 million^greyskull = CRAP
For you non-mathnerds, that means that when you expound millions of dollars to the power of greyskull, which is an imaginary number signifying infinite cheesiness, you will get the steaming poo pile that is Masters of the Universe.
The movie should have been a great success; it was based on a wildly popular toy and cartoon series, which I remember watching and loving. It was simple: Prince Adam was the Clark Kent of Eternia. With his Pete Rose haircut and gentle nature, no one would suspect that when he drew his magical sword and uttered "By the power of Greyskull!" he would transform into He-Man, savior of the planet. He was the only man powerful enough to stand up to Skeletor, the skull-headed conqueror who wanted to enslave all living creatures. He had some buddies to round out your toybox, too. Man-at-Arms, who had a G.I. Joe helmet and a porn mustache; Teela, the spunky gal sidekick who could hold her own in a fight, and being a kid's cartoon, we needed an animal and an annoying whiny character, so we had Cringer the Tiger and Orko, the flying douchebag. The cartoon is an 80's classic, and He-Man would give a moral to the story at the end of each episode, to keep us buying toys instead of smoking crack and stabbing each other.
When Mattel approached the Cannon Group to make a movie about He-Man, their fate was sealed. Infamous for such productions as the Death Wish sequels and Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo, they made some of the most memorable cheesefests of the 80's, and Masters of the Universe is no exception. The cartoon sprang from toys originally made for the 80's classic Conan the Barbarian, which had a bounty of breasts, blood and beefcake, and was deemed unsuitable for children. (Little did they know we all watched it on HBO anyway). So what was Mattel to do with all those toy molds? Give them some spare laser guns from Star Wars ripoffs, come up with some goofy names, and blammo, kids get to play with musclebound swordsmen in furry red banana hammocks without being associated with one of the most brutal fantasy movies of all time.
The toys were a big hit and spawned the aforementioned cartoon, but by 1987 He-Man was sort of played out. I was a junior in high school sporting my fro-mullet and I can't recall what the kiddies were watching by then, but Darth Milk was probably watching Mario Brothers and jumping on mushrooms in his backyard. Kids were playing Nintendo, and didn't care for He-Man's moral condescension and proselytizing anymore.
First-time director Gary Goddard was handed the reins, and Dolph Lundgren got the starring role after Sly Stallone snubbed his nose at it. He had made Cobra for Cannon the year before, probably the most ridiculous of his films. Dolph just came off of playing Ivan Drago in Rocky IV, and rivaled Arnold Schwarzenegger in both size and speech impediment, but never had the charisma. I liked Dolph in Showdown in Little Tokyo, and he does have a Master's Degree in Chemical Engineering, but he's pretty dry, and a forgettable He-Man.
The rest of the cast isn't much better. Frank Langella dons some white makeup and becomes Skeletor, relishing the role, but most of the time he just gets to sit on the throne and look ugly. Max Von Sydow was the best part of Flash Gordon, but he wasn't covered in bumpy white latex. Billy Barty plays a little hairy dwarf troll named Gwildor, created for the movie as a replacement for Orko, the little floating wizard in a hajib and cape. While Orko is missed, mostly because I wanted to see how bad he'd look, Billy Barty is one of my favorite little people actors, and manages to craft a decent character out of the horrible dialogue he's given. He and Langella end up being the movie's only saving graces.
The movie also ends up being mostly set on Earth, for budgetary reasons. Now, I don't know how filming in abandoned Whittier, California was cheaper than finding some spot of desert to call Eternia. They begin out in the rocky wastes, where He-Man and friends are fighting with Skeletor's minions, who look like the Star Destroyer crew from Star Wars. They escape into Gwildor's little hobbit hole, where he shows them The Key, which looks like a medieval anal torture device. It's a musical key that opens portals to anywhere in the universe, and Skeletor has the other one already. So of course, they escape using the Key, and wind up behind a school in California.
This subplot seems aimed at getting teens to go see a kid movie; Courteney Cox and her musician boyfriend are making out in his convertible when Gwildor steals their bucket of fried chicken with a grappling hook. Eventually they meet up when Skeletor sends his bad guys- Beast Man, Blade, Saurod, and Karg- through the portal to create some shenanigans. They beat up a coach and trash the gym, which was decorated for the prom! How horrible. A local cop, the dependable jerk character actor James Tolkan, gets involved and does the usual stupid stuff to further a plot- arrest the good guy, play with the Key so the bad guys can find them, and otherwise be a pain in the ass.
The script by David Odell, who wrote the classic The Dark Crystal and the turd Supergirl, is definitely once again in the turdpile of the spectrum. He doesn't even have anyone say "By the power of Greyskull!" because He-Man never has to transform. If they had rented a tiger to be Battlecat, kept things in the desert- which can't be that expensive, since so many shitty B movies have been shot out there- this could have been much better. Moving it to Earth and giving us useless teenager characters confuses everything, and makes the battle scenes have to be in places like a music store. When Skeletor finally arrives, he rolls down Main Street like a float in the Thanksgiving Day parade, and they couldn't afford any extras, so California looks completely deserted except for a cop, two students, and the guy running the guitar shop.
I wanted to at least get some laughs, but it's monumentally boring and barely worth watching to laugh at. At 106 minutes long, it drags on forever, inserting plots about Courteney Cox's parents having died in a plane crash, which lets Skeletor's hench-babe Evil-Lyn trick her into giving up the Key. And her boyfriend's musical memory helps save them in the end. In the director's commentary, Goddard says that the original ending made preview audiences weep openly; all I can say is, it was probably over wasting 2 hours of their lives watching Dolph Lundgren try to enunciate in English.
The final battle between Skeletor and He-Man is decent, and he does get to yell "I… have… The POWER!!" as he draws his sword. You can see they spent a lot of money on effects, but mostly it's repetitive, unexciting battles between people with laser guns in suburbia. When He-Man is finally captured, Blade tortures him with a laser whip, and they didn't even bother syncing Lundgren's flinches with the animated whip. Flash Gordon of seven years prior looks and feels better, and is a lot more fun.
I will say that the costumes for the creatures, such as Saurod and Gwildor, are quite good. Cannon would go on to create more atrocious films like Captain America before their death knell was sounded in the early 90's. I will thank them from the bottom of my teenage heart for 1985's Lifeforce, with its abundance of boobies. The 80's wouldn't be the same without Golan-Globus and Cannon Group films, but sometimes that's not necessarily a good thing.

My high school boyfriend worked at his family's restaurant and I spent a fair amount of time there. One of my favorite dishes was this Greek lemon soup with orzo and up until now, I never attempted to recreate it. I don't know what I was waiting for. This soup is soothing and creamy and extremely flavorful without being heavy.

The truth comes from balancing opposing forces such as full and empty, long and short, high and low, front and back. One's actions must be based on natural selflessness (Wu Wei). This is how the universe operates. When one follows the selfless way of Tao, he/she will be as eternal.
Practically speaking, a life that is vowed to simplicity, gratitude, unstinting work and play, and lots of walking, brings us close to the actually existing world and its wholeness.
While Linda and I were in Hawaii we were surrounded daily by the natural beauty of tropical flowers, fruit trees and the ocean surf. One of my favorite flowers was the bird of paradise which is pictured above. Its vivid colors and unique bird-like shape captured my imagination and the flower almost seemed to be perched and waiting to fly away at any moment! It didn't appear to be trying very hard to be itself. It just was. It was an effortless expression of its own beauty as a flower residing in an island paradise.
This is a botanical example of the Taoist concept "wu-wei." When something or someone is expressing its/their natural state of beingness, wu-wei is happening. The translation is literally, "activity arising from out of the source." When a person is operating from this inner core, their actions are natural, effortless and selfless. They are like a bird in paradise just doing their thing. As we begin our new theme for the year of "right relationship", we will take a closer look at what's involved in this type of lifestyle and how hard it is to be natural and effortless while we're trying to maintain our balance. Right relationship implies an aware relationship with everything and everyone. That should give us plenty to talk about this year!
Live every moment. Aloha! Dave
FROM THE MODERATOR - Bill White
In anticipation of our theme for church services this coming year - Right Relationships - I have been thinking about skills required to produce locally grown food for local distribution. That type of farming activity worked well when I was growing up but one wonders how well it may work in Aroostook County in 2010.
One special summer treat is to buy ice cream at the Houlton Farms Dairy Stop. Each time this activity is a delight and just think how the major ingredient, cream, comes from LOCAL cows grazing on the hills in Smyrna. I think back to when I was ten and learned where local milk and cream came from. I want to honor the skill used to produce local milk, so, put down your cell phone, Blackberry, TV remote, or I-Pod and take a trip way-down a lane of memory with me. My grandfather and father taught me how to milk a cow and the number one rule was you had to milk a cow at the same time every twelve hours. From age seven to nine it was the job for my dog "Lucky" and myself to go-get-the-cows from the pasture (later we trained our dog to do that on command.)
I was taught to milk from the same side (the right) of the cow each time and feed the cow just a bit of hay so she was calm. My grandfather had a three-legged stool so I could sit down beside the cow facing the tail with my head leaning gently on her flank. I washed the udder and teats thoroughly with warm soapy water to keep mud or manure from falling into the milk pail. I started with just one teat because my hand got tired and I had to switch to the other hand from time-to-time. I pushed my hand up slightly against the udder and squeezed at the top of the teat gently and firmly with my thumb and forefinger. I closed my other fingers one at a time around the teat just like the sucking action of a calf. Grandfatherly advice was available, "Be sure not to pull the teat!" I released my grip and allowed the teat to refill with milk from the udder. I continued milking until the flow reduced to a trickle and the udder was empty-it was time to switch to another teat. This routine continued until I was done and usually at that time my muscles could barely close my fingers into a fist. It was the praise from my grandfather that allowed me to finish the job.
All our modern gadgets and gizmos have helped isolate me from those vital skills that were commonplace for my ancestors and handed down through countless generations. These skills provide a link to my past and the bridge to my future. I admit this expertise is all but forgotten now.
At the beginning of last century, most food was grown and distributed locally. For me (in the 1940's and 1950's) this translated into eating meals produced on our farm and of course we purchased some items from local sources. Our meals consisted mostly of meat, potatoes, and gravy (so the "county" saying goes.) Variety was added from all the canning my mother did each year. More exotic foods from outside Aroostook County were infrequent. For contrast, in 2000 just 20 multinational corporations dominated the food trade business. Next time you go to the grocery store cruise up and down the aisles with your grocery cart and carefully note the origin of the food. This will convince you that food is no longer locally grown.
In spite of the current domination of multinational food distribution-well over half the population in poor countries is still in farming families. That means even today the most effective way to feed the majority of the world's poor is to ensure that small farmers have good access to thriving local markets, and that these farmers are not forced off the land by multinational farming corporations. It is rather sad to know the expertise required to produce locally grown food is now all but forgotten. Count yourself a keeper of "old knowledge" if you have your own vegetable plot (even if is one tomato plant) growing in your backyard or with the flowers at the front. The most productive land today is the vegetable garden of an enthusiast who feeds the family and gives or sells to neighbors. You can use your vegetable plot for a great variety of produce and maintain its fertility often with just kitchen waste. Give yourself a "GREEN STAR" for keeping old skills alive.
I wish you a fruitful church year of searching and offer a poem of praise from Hildegard of Bingen (1098-1179.)
I …the fiery light of divine wisdom.
As part of our year long theme exploring "right relationship" Keith Helmuth will be leading a 5 part book discussion group on "Right Relationship; Building a Whole Earth Economy." The group will meet on Monday Evenings from 6-8PM. Please check the calendar for details. Books will be available for purchase. ( $17US or $20CDN)
Right Relationship: Building a Whole Earth Economy
Right Relationship offers a new way of thinking about the economy. It starts from first principles about what makes a good life and a good Earth. It starts from the reality that the human economy is a part of Earth's larger economy and must operate within the limits of Earth's ecosystem.
Our current economic system - which assumes endless growth - flies in the face of the fact that Earth's resources are finite. The result is increasing destruction of the natural world and growing, sometimes lethal, tension between rich and poor, global north and south. We need a comprehensive new vision of an economy that can serve people and the entire commonwealth life.
This new book advances the core principle of "right relationship" as the foundation for a new economic model. Based on Aldo Leopold's land ethic, "right relationship" is defined as follows: A thing is right when it tends to preserve the integrity, resilience, and beauty of the commonwealth of life. It is wrong when it tends otherwise. Right Relationship poses five basic questions: What is the economy for? How does it work? How big should it be, or how big is too big? What's fair? How should the economy be governed?
Right Relationship first lays out the antiquated, shortsighted, and dangerous assumptions that underlie our current answers to these questions, as well as the shortcomings of many reform efforts. It proposes new answers that combine an acute awareness of ecological limits with a fundamental focus on fairness and concern for the spiritual as well as the material well-being of the human race.
Right Relationship is an integration of science, economics, ethics, and religious and cultural traditions, leading to a new understanding of how economies should develop and be governed. It concludes with a social movement action plan for bringing the economy in line with Earth's ecology in a way that will serve the well being of all life.
Building a whole Earth economy means moving from unlimited growth to producing only as much wealth as is needed for secure and dignified living. It means learning to live from the continuously renewed abundance of Earth. A whole earth economy is keyed to the resources of local and regional ecosystems, and to the shared abundance of Earth's ecosystem as a whole. This vision of a whole earth economy does not see a depression of economic activity, but rather a radical change that will advance all the productive, provisioning, service, and trading activities that create and support the integrity, resilience, and beauty of life's commonwealth.
Right Relationship is a publication of the Moral Economy Project of Quaker Institute for the Future.

Greetings! I have been missing your gifts through the summer and welcome the eagerly anticipated autumn infusion of funds. If you have any checks to send before the first service in September, please mail to Sue Glick, Treasurer, 652 Back Ridge Rd., Littleton, ME 04730
In February of 2008 our social action group decided to loan $25 of our pishka funds to some entrepreneur via the Kiva microfinance website. The Kaksija li Group was chosen as the first recipient. It is a group of women in Guatemala engaged in weaving and traditional artisan crafts. http://www.kiva.org/app.php?page=businesses&action=about&id=38059. The loan was recently repaid in full and our $25 was free to lend again.
Our newly chosen recipient is La Reina 3 Group which consists of 5 women in the Dominican Republic who sell used clothing. http://www.kiva.org/app.php?page=businesses&action=about&id=132380 They will begin to make payments in November.
Right at the end of our church year, a queen size quilt, made by Leigh Griffith and quilted by Lois Morin, was given to the church to use as a fund raiser. In late June we began selling raffle tickets with the intent of choosing the winner at the end of next year's Fourth of July celebration.
So far, the raffle has brought in $395.61. The reason for the odd numbers is that in addition to buying tickets in person, folks can also buy raffle tickets online using Paypal. ( Go to http://burbank.mfx.net/~griffith/Leigh/church.htm ) Paypal takes a small percentage (thus the odd numbers), but makes it possible to reach people who might never come to Houlton! So far, the most distant purchaser of raffle tickets is from Tasmania!
The tickets are $1.00 each or a book of 6 for $5.00. Online they are only available by the book. If you would like to buy some tickets before ingathering, you can use the US Mail and send a check to the church, made out to the Unitarian Society of Houlton. You can also go online and purchase your tickets with your PayPal account. http://burbank.mfx.net/~griffith/Leigh/church.htm
To add interest to the activity, we have a challenge from Ann Rhinelander to see how many will match the number of tickets she has purchased so far! She spent $100 on tickets (receiving 120 chances of winning)! She really wants that quilt! Like Ann, you can increase your chances of winning by buying more tickets. We are also offering the "Book of the Month Club" in which, from now until July, 2010, you can purchase one or more books of tickets each month!
Join in the fun! Help the church! The winner will be kept extra specially warm when winter comes in 2010! See you at ingathering!

He tells us that the outside wall is very damp this summer and notes that the paint has run some. Members should drop in and see all his hard work. He is approaching a second coat and hopes to have all the painting done on the walls by the time David gets back--maybe the ceilings too. Thanks, Ray, for all your time and talent!

Back in August I posted in Nickel Shorts Breathing Hard! that Nickel seven months ago traded up through $29,000 a metric ton. I was shocked to see at Bloomberg that Nickel is trading over $45,000 a metric ton!
Nickel Base Metals Gold Mover Mike
Will the same price explosion occur in Gold? I'm betting it will because "the seven big TOCOM gold shorts increased their net short position by 1,090 contracts to 113,717 contracts."
Gold on 3/30/07 $663.

FBO Rating:
Other than their humerous nature, Paddy Power is the undisputed king of special offers. From money back specials to guaranteed prices and early payouts they are unrivalled by any of the other major bookies. They have been well known to payout on results before they have been confirmed such as Manchester United to win the domestic treble in February of the 2008/09 season, and also offer bets on some obscure events in order to gain publicity. The Irish firm famously odds of 16/1 on US President Barack Obama not to finish his term in office (which was widely interpreted as a bet on him being assassinated).
What's it all about Paddy?
Paddy Power formed in 1988 when three existing Irish high street bookmakers merged together. They are now Ireland's most successful bookmaker and continue to operate both in store and online, allowing them to become one of the most instantly recognisable brands in the industry.
The sportsbook is now a part of a larger Paddy Power family which includes casino, poker, bingo, virtuals, lotteries and financial trading branches.
What sports do they offer?
FBO Rating:
The focus is undoubtedly on the lucrative English Premier League and many money back specials can be found on a weekly basis. All other sports are covered to a high standard with a good range of markets and competitive odds across the board. And of course they also have their speciality, the novelty markets, but you often have to be quick with these because they habitually don't stay on site long, especially if there are some juicy odds to be had.

Devout Christian Marie Jean Pierre recently won a $21.5 million verdict, ending a religious freedom lawsuit she filed against her employer, Conrad Miami Hotel.
Marie Jean Pierre, a devout Christian woman, is resting easy after winning a $21.5 million verdict, ending a complaint she and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission filed against her employer, Conrad Miami Hotel. The complaint was originally filed when she was "fired for not showing up for her six Sunday shifts."
According to the complaint, Pierre worked for the hotel as a dishwasher for nearly a decade before being terminated. On Sundays, she spent her time at church, something her employer was aware of. However, in 2015, her manager, George Colon, "began scheduling her on Sundays." For a while, she was able to trade shifts with co-workers. Unfortunately, Colon began demanding "that she herself report for work on Sundays." She refused, which resulted in her termination in March 2016.
In an interview regarding the matter, she said, "I love God, no work on Sunday, because Sunday I honor God."
In response to being fired, Pierre filed a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, arguing that her termination was a "violation of her civil rights and religious beliefs." She also charged her employer with "creating a hostile work environment," and filed a lawsuit in Mary 2017 in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida."
In an statement, her attorney, Marc Brumer, said:
"They accommodated her for seven years, and they easily could have accommodated her, but instead of doing that, they set her up for absenteeism and threw her out. She's a soldier of Christ. She was doing this for all the other workers who are being discriminated against."
It's important to note, however, that the $21.5 million in damages is pretty symbolic "due to caps on punitive damages in federal court." Because of these caps, it's estimated that Pierre will only walk away with about $500,000. Nonetheless, both Pierre and her attorney insist the case was more about standing up for religious freedom than money.
When commenting on the verdict, Bruner said:
"This was not about money. This was about sending a message to other corporations whether big or small. Whatever size you are, if you're going to take the blood and sweat of your workers, you better accommodate them or let them at least believe in their religious beliefs. Not a preference but a belief."
The hotel, however, intends to appeal the court's decision. It issued the following statement:
"We were very disappointed by the jury's verdict, and don't believe that it is supported by the facts of this case or the law," a statement from the hotel chain reads. "During Ms. Pierre's 10 years with the hotel, multiple concessions were made to accommodate her personal and religious commitments. We intend to appeal, and demonstrate that the Conrad Miami was and remains a welcoming place for all guests and employees."

Researchers at the University of Washington, in Seattle, carried out a small randomised controlled trial with 40 people with Alzheimer's disease and 64 with amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI) – memory problems that do not interfere with everyday life. A third of the group received daily doses of 20 IU (international units) of insulin in a nasal spray for four months, while a third received 40 IU doses and a third were given a placebo. None of the participants had diabetes.
They found those who were given 20 IU of insulin performed better on memory tests than those who had the placebo, while those who were given the higher dose of insulin showed no improvement. Scores on the Dementia Severity Rating Scale were preserved in those who took insulin, while scores for the placebo group worsened.
The researchers, whose findings are published online in Archives of Neurology, now want to see longer trials to test the treatment.
Dr Simon Ridley, Head of Research at Alzheimer's Research UK, said:
"It's long been known that diabetes and Alzheimer's are linked, but we still need to know much more about the role of insulin in Alzheimer's disease. This is an encouraging small study, but we would need to see larger, long-term trials before we can draw any firm conclusions on whether this treatment could be helpful in Alzheimer's."
"Current drugs for Alzheimer's only treat some of the symptoms, and we still desperately need to find a treatment that can halt the disease in its tracks. With 820,000 people affected by dementia in the UK today, we need to see many more treatments being trialled if we are to offer the best hope for the future."

In the aftermath of heartbreak the poet scribes …. emotions shaped with master craftsmanship from chipping away at resolve.
I feel like I help women heal – not for me, but for the next one.
I feel like they use my comfort as a stepping stone,
Rising above their pain to triumph,
And then, move on.
I feel like I'm being discarded, left right where I fall…
When they have successfully
Navigated their labyrinth of pain –
feel whole again –
Just when I think they'll stay and grow… they let go….and,
I fall into the hands of another ….
"Brother" …
I always am "Friend" to them
I always am here for them
And I'm the one left holding the short end of the stick
The shortest straw…
The problem is
The luck of the draw is that the house always wins
And I, a gambler at love's roulette
Keep spinning, looking in vain
For the jackpot.
