The writing of critical history is greatly aided by the perspective that only the passing of time can bring. This was apparent in George Corner's bicentennial history of the School of Medicine of the University of Pennsylvania. Dr. Corner critically assessed this school's functions and faculty up to and through the first 40 years of this century, but then his account became largely noncommittal. Even the most confident and sage historian will hesitate to put to paper those judgments that are readily made by recent graduates and other interested parties but too often out of adoration, envy, or pique.

it's so cute! I've never been good at crochet. I've tried several times and I just suck at it. Oh well, at least I'm good at other things so I don't feel too bad that I can't crochet.

mhm I once had to crochet pot holders in primary school and made a right mess of them, think my mum finished them for me as I was so gutted, haven't done anything crochet since then – think I was traumatised 🙂 but do love your design & always admire people who are more dexterous with needles 🙂
Rosie DoalJanuary 14, 2019 at 6:38 pm

Laura - Autumn's MummyJanuary 14, 2019 at 2:32 pm
That's so cute! I am determined to learn to crochet at some point. I did have a box with a beginner's project in, but it didn't come with any instructions! #MixItUp

The scarf is adorable. Maybe I will have to get my crochet hooks out again and give it a try. Haven't crocheted in several years, but my grandson would love this – he loves anything with a hood. Thank you for sharing the instructions!

Ariana Grande's Powerful 'One Manchester Concert' Raises Over $10m for Victims
Ariana Grande successful all-star concert in Manchester held in honour of the victims of the May 22 bombing has been described as a powerful event.
The singer was joined by colleagues including Justin Bieber, who gave an important message of solidarity to the audience after this performance, Katy Perry, who encouraged audience members to hold each other and declare once for each other, and many other moving performances that drew tears to the eyes of the performers and the audience.
Ariana Grande closed out the 3-hour One Love Manchester benefit concert with "Somewhere Over the Rainbow", an emotional rendition for the 22 people who died, and near the end she couldn't go on but fans encouraged her.
According to the Red Cross UK, the concert raised over $9 million. "Well, the fantastic news is we've already raised around 7 million pounds [$9 million]," chief executive Mike Adamson told the Associated Press. "And we expect to raise another one and half million pounds from ticket sales tonight and then further funding from the TV rights and merchandising. So, we're really looking to appeal that's going to move towards 10 million pounds."
On social media, the singer is being applauded and Manchester remains a top trending conversation all over the world, with many people applauding the singer for her bravery and love for the fans who were hurt on that day in May.
I misjudged you, @ArianaGrande & I apologise.
You're an admirable young woman & this is a magnificent night.
Respect.👍#OneLoveManchester pic.twitter.com/r4v6NQMr97
— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) June 4, 2017
The show ended on a light note. Manchester remains strong and the unforgettable experience has earned the singer more respect.
Hopefully, Ariana Grande will resume her Dangerous Woman tour which she suspended after the May attack.

Source: The Saudi Gazette 2013
Saudi Arabia represents an "exceedingly" strong market for US companies, Export-Import Bank Chairman Fred Hochberg said.
"Part of that has been driven by… diversification of economies," Hochberg said in an interview yesterday in Riyadh. "We see a lot of opportunity here. US companies haven't been here sufficiently."
The Saudi government has announced investment plans of more than $500 billion as the Kingdom tries to diversify the economy away from oil, which accounts for 90 percent of government revenue, and expand airports and build roads and rail lines.
Saudi Arabia raised total spending in its budget by almost a fifth this year to $219 billion.
The Ex-Im Bank authorized in September a $5 billion loan to Sadara Chemical Co., a joint venture between Saudi Aramco and Dow Chemical Co. The credit for construction of the petrochemical complex in Jubail on the Gulf boosted total Ex-Im Bank loans to the world's largest exporter to $5.5 billion, or almost half of the $11.8 billion in loans authorized in 2012, according to the Washington-based bank's annual report.
Power, water, rail and solar provide "opportunities" in Saudi Arabia that match "real US strengths," Hochberg said.
Separately, the Saudi Arabian Monetary Agency (SAMA) announced that banks in the Kingdom posted a combined profit of $8.92 billion last year, higher by 8.4 percent from 2011.
SAMA said that the figure is the second highest since 2006, when profits hit a record $9.21 billion.
The increase was attributed to lower provisions for bad debt compared with the previous few years and a rise in lending.

Ready for some more Etsy marketing tips? Read on for advice on promoting your shop without getting overwhelmed by your to-do list.
As a creative business owner, you've got a lot on your plate. I know how it is — you're not only the president of your company, but also the production manager, the sales rep, and the entire customer-service department. And when you add promotion, advertising, and PR responsibilities to the mix, and it's no wonder you feel overwhelmed with marketing sometimes.
Throw in marketing and social media tasks, and well, it's a wonder your Day Runner doesn't explode.
You're not alone. All indie biz owners struggle with this — especially those with itty-bitty marketing budgets. Do any of these concerns ring true to you?
- Should I buy online/print advertising? Where? How do I create an ad?
- Should I set up my own e-commerce website? Should I redesign my existing website? Is anyone even visiting my website?
- Should I send out a newsletter? Spend my time writing a blog?
- Should I jump into social media? Which sites should I join? All of them?
- How long will it take before my marketing efforts start to pay off?
Business worries can keep a gal up at night!
Overcoming Etsy Marketing Overwhelm
Today, I just want to encourage you in the fact that being your own boss doesn't have to be fraught with chaos and overwhelm. You can do it — you have what it takes! You just need a solid plan.
A lot of our biz-related stress and procrastination comes from our tendency to flake out on the plans we make with ourselves. We say that we're going to do some marketing, but then other things get in the way, or we get discouraged, or we get distracted by videos of cute pugs on Youtube.
But when you commit to a list of smart, actionable goals you're much more likely to follow through and achieve real growth in your businesses.
1. Dedicate time to focus on Marketing
Marketing your shop is JUST as important to the success of your business as making the products themselves. Yes — I hear you — you need to spend time creating remarkable products — but you also need to prioritize time to attract customers who will buy your products. Make a marketing appointment with yourself, and commit to it. Carve out a small block of time to focus on one marketing task. Follow through.
2. Take it One Step at a Time
Maybe your marketing plan includes writing a blog, sending a weekly newsletter, building a solid presence on Twitter, and submitting your work to print magazines. Awesome. But you don't need to accomplish it all today.
Here's the practical solution: Break down your long-term business goals into smaller, more manageable steps. Make these "action tasks" as concrete as possible. Prioritize the tasks.
Then, for each "marketing appointment" you make, decide what one thing you're going to work on. Then, work on that one thing with focus. Give it your full attention, knowing that you can work on that other thing tomorrow.
3. Get a Helping Hand
If you don't like marketing — or if you're maxed out on time — there's no reason why you should have to do it all alone. Just because marketing is important, doesn't mean you have to do it yourself. Consider outsourcing marketing tasks to help your business grow. By hiring other folks to do the things that you are not interested in, you free up time to do the things you love.
The Secret to Success.
My biggest tip, though, is to actually DO something. You can read all of the marketing advice on the internet, but it won't help you if you don't implement it in your own life. The step you take today doesn't have to be earth-shatteringly huge, and it doesn't have to be right this minute, but plan to start taking some action in your marketing.

It had been four months since Granny had passed. Not a day had gone by that I hadn't thought of her.
"I miss the old gal," I admitted to Mama one day.
"I do, too," she replied softly.
I didn't wallow in my sadness. Granny wasn't one for wallowing. She would sometimes have herself one good cry and then she was done. None of this sitting around, whining and telling everyone about what had her all "upsot" as she called it.
"You know what I miss the most?" Mama said one day.
"Her telling you what to do?" I asked.
"You should. I don't know how you and Bobby are managing."
My mother and uncle were now geriatric orphans. Granny loved to threaten them with her plans of one day finding her own place and leaving them to their own devices.
"And prove what?" I had asked her mid-rant. "To prove to them at 60 something years of age they can live on their own? Woo hoo – they will throw raves with prune juice Jell-O shots with Milk of Magnesia chasers. And everyone will have to head home by dark since they're scared to drive at night."
Granny did not appreciate my logic and told me I was a hateful old gal.
Mama interrupted my inner reverie.
"No, I miss the way she did things. She was far smarter than I ever gave her credit for. But she knew how to do things."
True, she did.
Granny was smart for someone who had maybe a ninth-grade education. She liked to remind us, especially me, that she had common sense.
"You got book smarts," she would say. "That's fine if you taking a test, but ain't so good otherwise."
I had asked her what was the dreaded otherwise. Granny said book smarts was just downright useless in a lot of situations – battling a possum in a chicken house, dealing with possible intruders, knowing how to properly clean a meat grinder. Things she didn't think I would ever figure out how to do and she didn't know what in the world would come of me.
"What is happening that Granny would know how to do?" I asked Mama. "Do you need me to take care of anything?"
Mama sighed a sigh that reverberated volumes. At just weeks shy of 70, how do you say you just need your mama to take care of things?
"No, I don't. I just miss … Granny knew how to deal with certain people and I feel bad if I do it like Granny would."
"Like what, Mama?"
Mama was quiet for a few moments before she began.
"OK, you know I don't judge anyone based on anything, right?"
"Right." Mama was so liberal sometimes she could make a Kennedy look conservative.
"My problem is not based on their religion. My problem is I don't like strangers coming to the house."
Ah. She didn't have to say anymore.
Bless her heart. I could see Mama having an inner conflict on this – she was torn between being plumb southern hospitable on one hand and not wanting someone to come up unannounced, unexpected and completely unknown to her front door.
This is a woman that tries to uphold some degree of proprietary, so to be rude to someone at your door was a horrible disgrace.
"Mama, you don't have to answer the door, you know."
"Yes, I do," she said, appalled at what she would deem disrespectful.
"No, you don't. If you don't know them, you don't."
Mama still thought this was rude.
It had been a while since I had to deal with people just arbitrarily showing up at my door. The main bonus of living in the boonies. But I remembered well how disruptive it was when we lived in town and had people randomly showing up. I had just gotten Cole settled for a nap when he was teething once, only to be woken less than an hour later by a politician campaigning. I think the expression on my face when I opened the door with a screaming baby in the background gave him a clue he wouldn't get my vote.
I suggested putting up a "No trespassing" sign but Mama worried someone may not come down the driveway if they had to call 911. And she thought that was tacky.
"You could always do what Granny would do," I began.
"What's that?"
"Granny would either tell them she would listen if they would listen to her tell them about Jesus." Granny actually did that once. Totally backfired on the old gal; she ended up with a new friend and sewing buddy.
I would hear her telling the lady, "Now, we will just a-stick to sewing and leave our beliefs out of the conversation and we will be fine. Besides, I'm right and we both know it, so no need to get into an uproar over it."
'"If you think putting a no trespassing sign up is rude, you will think the second one is definitely rude."
"What?" Mama insisted.
"Start going to the door with her shotgun in your hands. You don't have to even cock it, just have it in your hands. They'll leave and not come back."
She didn't have to. That was the simplest, easiest answer. And it's exactly what Granny would have done.

title: Karłowicz. 'Rebirth' Symphony. Violin Concerto
performer: Alena Baeva/Royal Philharmonic Orchestra/Grzegorz Nowak
number: NIFCCD 067
year of publication: 2019
format: audio

Elena Baeva, well known to Polish audience from, among others, the Festival Chopin and His Europe, interprets two outstanding compositions by Mieczysław Karłowicz.
One of them is connected with the figure of Polish violinist – Stanisław Barcewicz, for whom Karłowicz decided to compose his first composition for violin. The second one, the Symphony Rebirth, is traditionally seen in the patriotic and national context; it was the culmination of compositional studies of the artist in Berlin.
The album, released in the series Concerts frozen in time, is wholly devoted to Karłowicz's works for violin in the interpretation of Elena Baeva, playing the "Molitor" Stradivarius from 1697.

Early Season Strategies - Part 7
I goofed yesterday. I trusted my computer far more than I should have. I use four
different computers, all connected to the same keyboard, mouse and monitor. I just
flip a switch to change from working on one to another and the one monitor keeps
me from having to move physical locations.
Yesterday, when I instructed my website to download, I swapped to another project I
have going. I never looked back to that computer until early this morning. It didn't
download, rather warned me I didn't do some things required for it to download. I
went all day without being aware of it. The next click on the mouse was almost as
bad. It erased the unsaved article. Sometimes you can out smart yourself with a
computer. You can do the same thing fishing.
Some of you probably think I went fishing. I wished I did. I would have been just
about as well off because everything I touched yesterday, didn't come out right. It
was just one of those days.
As I write this, I am reminded that's the way it goes sometimes with the fishing. You
cannot always expect things to turn out the way you expect or the way you desire
things to turn out, even when conditions seem perfect. In spite of all of the
technology and knowledge one can come up with, things don't always go as
planned. There is still a lot of luck involved with fishing. That is really what makes it
interesting and usually a lot of fun. Sometimes it isn't so much fun. Off the top of my
head, here are some times I remember that didn't go right for me.
1. The first two attempts to video a bottom fishing trip for snapper in 1980, when I
was the first person to do that for television, didn't turn out right. We caught about a
hundred pounds of red snapper each day. The cameramen, two different ones from
a local Pensacola TV station, got sea sick. I almost gave up. The third day I had a
2. The same year, I caught over a hundred largemouth bass in the Mobile Delta to
find the cameraman failed to record any audio, only video.
3. I better get off the TV stuff or I could write a book. So, I will mention one of
hundreds of tournaments I fished. That is another book or two.
I remember a SAA national championship tournament held at Ft. Lauderdale, I
worked all year to qualify for by points from six other saltwater tournaments. This
was in the mid 1990s. Only one fish of each species listed could be counted as
points in the championship tournament.
The sailfish were the most difficult. I got the sail the first hour of the first day. The
amberjack, snapper and grouper came before noon. I was on a roll to win. I knew
blue marlin were a long shot but thought I could get a yellowfin tuna by running to
the gulf stream because I had spotted some the day before in practice. Rick Carrie,
my mate and I, ran offshore and started trolling Softheads through some diving
birds. We hooked up and on 30 pound class standup tackle, I fought a fish for
almost two and a half hours of my eight hour day limit. Big yellowfin dive on light
tackle and are tough, tough. The problem was, It was a large 400 to 500 pound
hamerhead shark worth nothing. I went from first to tenth place.

SONGS OF THE EARTH: A Charlotte Premiere
Charlotte, NC – February 4, 2016 –
The Firebird Arts Alliance presents the CHARLOTTE PREMIERE of one of western art music's greatest compositions – Gustav Mahler's Das Lied von der Erde (The Song of the Earth), in Arnold Schönberg's brilliant orchestration for 15 players.
The piece includes some of the composer's most original and passionate music, music of overwhelming despair, longing, love and departure.
Why these pieces? "The Firebird Arts Alliance consistently picks music unique to Charlotte, pieces you may not have another opportunity to hear. Whether new or particularly complex, we strive to provide an experience that won't be duplicated in this region," says David Tang, Artistic Director.
To further bring the music to life, the performance will be accompanied by projected Chinese calligraphy by master Zhao Hong and fine art. David continues, "We broaden the understanding and impact of the musical pieces and visual arts by combining the two. It creates a powerful and emotional experience, perfect for the depth of this particular music."
The concert also features Arnold Schönberg's rarely-performed hymn to world peace – Friede auf Erden – one of the greatest works ever written for a cappella choir.
Featuring: the Firebird Arts Sinfonia; VOX; Daniel Shirley, Tenor; and Neal Sharpe, Bass-baritone. Co-sponsored by the Confucius Institute at Pfeiffer University.
Taking place on Saturday, March 5th at 7:30 p.m. at Sharon Presbyterian Church, 5201 Sharon Rd, Charlotte NC.
General admission is $15, students and seniors $10. Tickets at songsoftheearth.eventzilla.net.

I really like the Hainan chicken rice at this shop. It takes us 45 minutes to get here from our place but I find myself here every week. Love the chilli sauce and the ginger sauce the shop provides.
Authentic Malaysian Hainan chicken, had no issue. I'm Malaysian and can highly recommend this place to all my fellow Malaysians! Had both the roasted and steam chicken, both 5/5, can't fault the dish at all. Everyone was really friendly"
I was there with a 2 friends. We order noodles, half a roast chicken and a plate of rice for each person on the side. It was very good value for money with plenty of chicken for all 3 of us. The chicken was flavorful and reminiscent of the chicken rice from Singapore. The garlic and chilli sauce were excellent and complemented the chicken really well.

Have you been wanting to try "chalk paint"? You may have heard of its many good qualities, such as low to no prep required, low to no odor, quick drying, easy clean-up and more. But you may have also heard that it's expensive and hard to come by. I got to try Decoart Americana Chalky Finish Paint, available right here on blitsy.com and I think if you've been wanting to try it out, this is a great option! Here's an easy project for your Thanksgiving table or to keep out all Autumn long: my Chalk Painted Wood Table Runner. I was inspired by the fallen oak leaves from the tree in front of my girls' school. They were scattered everywhere and the sidewalk looked so pretty.
Chalk-Painted Wooden Fall Table Runner
Here's what you'll need:
- Decoart Americana Chalky Finish Paint in Rustic (dark brown), Legacy (blue), Heirloom (tan), Lace (off-white), Yesteryear (gray), and Treasure (teal)
- Decoart Americana Soft Touch Varnish
- Wood piece, cut to size
- Sand paper
- Leaf Stencils
- Paint brushes, stencil brushes, foam brush
Let's Get Crafty!
If necessary, sand your wood piece to remove any splinters. Otherwise, you do not need to do much prep when using chalky finish paint. This wood piece was left over from one of my husband's projects, but you can head to your hardware store and have them cut a piece for you to the size you like. My piece is 7x26 inches, good to sit in the middle of a table for six, or to stretch across a console table or coffee table.
I like to pour my chalky finish paint into a paper plate or bowl so I don't contaminate the rest of the paint in the jar. If you find that the paint is too thick, you may water it down with a spritz or two of water. Paint on the first coat, and allow to dry. Then paint another coat. Allow the 2nd coat to dry. It shouldn't take too long to dry, and it might dry a little bit lighter than when wet. It also dries to a soft matte finish.
I created my own leaf stencil. If you have an electronic cutter, you can save the image below to your computer and cut out the leaves onto vinyl. Or, you can trace the shapes onto vinyl and cut them out with a craft knife. You can also purchase a leaf stencil. You don't have to stick to oak leaves!
Position your stencil onto one end of the wood piece.
And gather your other pretty chalky finish paint colors!
Stencil the leaves randomly in the remaining paint colors. I did not have stencil brushes on hand, so I used some foam craft brushes instead, which is why I have some streaks in my stenciled leaves. Stencil brushes would have been much better. Painting on another coat helped get rid of the streaks in the end. Anyway, when you're finished with this first set of leaves, peel off the stencil and reposition it on an un-stenciled part, turning the stencil so the leaves look more random. Repeat until the entire surface is evenly covered with leaves. Or unevenly. Whatever look you're going for!
When the paint has completely dried, apply a coat of varnish with a foam brush to protect your new piece. Allow to dry completely. Varnish is very durable so you can place your decor on top without worry. The Soft Touch Varnish that I used left a sheen, but there are also finishes available to keep the more matte look if you like. All finished!
Decoart Americana Decor Chalky Finish Paint is an inexpensive but high-quality option if you've been wanting to try out chalk paint. It leaves a soft texture that you can distress for a more rustic look. You can also apply it to all kinds of surfaces, and top it with all kinds of finishes. Plus they come in so many colors, and you can purchase them easily on blitsy.com!

Tamilnadu to benefit by Centre - state thaw
A dedicated Elevated Expressway from Chennai Port to Maduravoyal upto NH 4 was awarded in 2009 with a total project cost of Rs.1815 crore. The 19 km highway is to consist of an elevated section of 17.5 km -- from the Southern gate of the Chennai Port to Maduravoyal. It will run along the Cooum river banks and then run above the Poonamallee High Road at Maduravoyal on National Highway-4 (Bengaluru Highway). The Project was stalled in March 2012 during construction stage due to objections from the State Government on the alignment. The project work has been resumed after sustained efforts of Ministry of Shipping. The Govt. of Tamil Nadu which was earlier reluctant has now come on board and is actively supporting this significant project. The new thaw in Centre –state relations is viewed as an offshoot of the entry of AIADMK into the national NDA coalition recently. Politics apart, this bonhomie seems to have caught up with the state bureaucracy too. The Tirunelveli district Collector Shilpa Prabhakaran Sathish took to task VAOs against whom farmers had complained that the village officials failed to receive their applications for the Rs 6,000 per annum Kisan Samman Yojana of the PM. Earlier, Shilpa earned praise for admitting her daughter to a government Anganwadi, instead of a private playschool. She also won the hearts of people by paying a visit to an elderly woman who donated her son's organs. She also issued an order to grant her old age pension.
Attempts To Sever Tamilnadu From National Fervour
Sample how the Tamil mainstream media covered Pulwama terror attack: Channels vied with one another to telecast the pearls of wisdom by actor –politician kamal hasan who had the temerity to advise one and all on plebiscite – at this juncture - completely ignoring the fact that vacation of PoJK is the precondition for that. The fidayeen terrorist who exploded 200 kilos of RDX killing 40 CRPF jawans in Kashmir was reverentially mentioned as militant by carefully avoiding the word Jihadi, which he was. The behaviour of the Tamil MSM in covering Surgical Strike 2 by IAF destroying terror base camps of JeM was worse: A certain journalist Radhakrishnan, one of the panellists of a TV channel discussion, raised doubts whether any terrorist was eliminated in the raid. After Pulwama all terrorists were moved away from LoC and the camps were empty. It took hours for an average Tamil viewer to know the truth. All terrorists had been brought to Balakote, proving Indian intel inputs right.
Brutal Brainwashing of Police By, Who Else?
A police man was lynched by mob, for performing his duty in Vaniyambadi in Vellore District. It is a custom for TN Policemen to skip regular vehicle searches, helmet wearing checks to document checks ,if one is seen with Muslim attire. In this incident, as seen in the video, the policemen is surrounded by muslim mobs,grabbing his phone and arguing loudly. Sources say the policeman came in for a regular enquiry in the locality and knowing this locals gathered in large numbers hindering the government employee from performing his duty. It is worthy to remember Inspector Selvaraj who was lynched to death in Coimbatore Ukkadam (a Muslim majority area again) for levying fine on motorists who came in triplets in two wheeler in 1997. A couple of years back, Triplicane in Chennai witnessed a Muslim mob preventing arrest of a youth of their community who had stalked a Hindu girl. They laid siege to the police van. Most appalling is the Ambur episode wherein Muslims in thousands battled policemen on bandobast duty. Women police personnel had to flee to save their honour. Dozens of policemen had to be hospitalised. Instances can be multiplied. The malady is so deep that last week policemen removed the word ISLAMIC from a poster announcing a demonstration condemning Pulwama carnage by Jeish jihadis. It happened, where else, in Tamilnadu only.

Instead of creating a normal goal during this year as of resolution of I'm active to lose 10 books this year it can be an good idea to create smaller but completely various goals. Using easy-with-carry out the goals for each one the month when separate can help you to achieve your final objective during this year.
As example you could say to yourself?
For this month I'm going to cut the chocolate. A goal as this should be much easier to carry out and require less effort. To say your outward journey to lose 10 books in 3 months will require much effort in many sectors, exercise, ingestion of food. etc
When you strike each small goal which it can help to lead you to choose another new simple goal, for example: Each time I go to a restaurant I will choose flat more sain low content of fat contents.
Then for the next month it could take place?
I will reduce the quantity of bread which I eat each day and substitutes it for the breads crunching with low calories healthier of health makes shopping. Then perhaps. I will compose a fruit salad to place in the refrigerator and the test to eat a good part before a principal meal.
There are thousands of various, realizable goals which you could compose, of all concerning your own lifestyle and choice of food. But, because they all require less effort and are less invahissants with your lifestyle it should be easier the food with day laborer. As these small goals all the accumulation which it will lead to a certain decent weight lost during the future months. The weight also will be lost with there regular significance of step chance of SA better than it will remain with far.

I'll never forget a parenting moment I witnessed last year after finishing a morning of paddleboarding in the Marina.
As I was walking up to wash off my board, a woman walks up with her young daughter. She looked a bit younger than Isaac's (8-ish) and was visibly full of enthusiasm and curiosity. For whatever reason, there happened to be a 40 pound dumbbell sitting on the lawn next to the SUP rental desk–I'm guessing it's something the instructors play around with on their breaks.
In my experience, I've found that children are fascinated by exercise equipment, and this little girl was no exception. She ran excitedly over to the hunk of iron to see if she could pick it up. This is where it gets dicey.
"Honey, no–that's not for you it's for the boys. It's too heavy," the mother says.
It's for the boys. It's too heavy. It's not for you.
Now, to everyone's surprise but mine, the little girl proceeded to deadlift the dumbbell rather safely and easily. And because I wasn't surprised, I found myself angry instead. Would I suggest a child who's never lifted weights randomly pick up something heavy without instruction? Of course not. But would I discourage her by saying it's for the boys?
Now listen, I don't believe in judging other people's parenting styles–we are all doing our best and fighting our own battles. But as a strong women fighting against these stere0types, I can't help but wonder: was that warning counterproductive?
Could something more like,"be careful that could be dangerous" have been in order?. A child who's never been taught how to lift something that's probably pretty close to her bodyweight should be warned–it's a safety concern and a reasonable one at that. I'm very cognizant of my son when he plays around with weights and I pay extra attention to his safety.
But it's too heavy? It's not for you? What are we teaching our little girls?
I bit my tongue, of course, as was the right thing to do in the situation. I make it a habit not to judge others, so it's important to note that this insight isn't a criticism of the mother–it's an observation on how we can choose to empower girls.
So, instead of admonishing the mother I simply congratulated the child. It's not my place to tell other people how to parent their children, just as it's not their place to tell me how to raise my son. But I couldn't help the flush of frustration that came over my face, and the burning sensation in my heart to tell this girl that nothing is just for the boys.
I settled for an enthusiastic "Good job! You're so strong!" and took immense pleasure in the beaming pride this child exuded. She was inspired, of no ones urging, to see if she could hoist that weight–and that's not a light I'm interested in snuffing out.
Instead, I want to tell her that the force is strong with her. I want to encourage her to harness the force, use the force, be the force, and eventually share the force. I want her to have permission to be the strongest expression of herself that she can possibly be.
I want her to break barriers. I want her to know that there is no such thing as "for the boys."
Sometimes I think the reason I have such a passion for strength is because of how I was raised. My dad was a single father, and although he was born and raised in Iran-a country that often places woman second to men-he always raised me to be independent and empowered. He made me feel like there wasn't anything I couldn't do as long as I applied myself.
I suppose that's why he wasn't surprised when I took a liking to sports, or when I became a personal trainer at the age of 18. He always supported me and encouraged me. I never felt like anything was just for the boys.
I may not have known it at the time, but the burning desire to be strong was embedded within me.
And because I have a relentless passion for empowering women through strength, I want so much to see this seed planted and cultivated in the heart of every girl. I want women everywhere to know how good it feels to lift weights, run fast, jump high, and do challenging yoga poses.
I want women everywhere to know, in their heart of hearts, that strength is not just for the boys–it's for all of us.
My journey of strength
My journey of strength has taught me and brought me so many things–confidence, a sense of self-worth, physical and emotional strength, and the ability to adapt and endure just to name a few. But perhaps one of the most valuable gains from this journey is friendship.
I've met some incredibly strong and passionate women on this ride, some of whom have grown to be my sisters. One such woman is my business and training partner, Jill Coleman.
Jill is one of the most hardworking, compassionate, powerful people I know. She's a phenomenal mindset and business coach, a killer athlete, and an even better friend. With our mutual love of wine, salsa dancing, Crossfit, and mindset talk–it's no surprise that our friendship has grown to the point of sisterhood.
Over the years Jill has been my training partner, my business partner, my wine partner, my salsa partner, and my rock. She knows things about me that no one else does, and she's the kind of person I can be both absurdly silly and serious with. Our bond is solidified through our mutual love of fitness but it's evolved into far more.
She is my sister in strength, and she inspires me every single day to be the strongest version of myself.
In fact, we'll often text each other about our performance at Crossfit should one of us be absent, and we discuss our strategies for completing WODs. She cares about my strength, and I care about hers.
It's some sort of special juju that we spread as strong women, the kind that permeates race, age, privilege, and geographical location. It's more than pull-ups and push-ups, more than kettlebells, and more than the weight on the bar.
So much more.
When Jill and I get together to train, it's like a kind of magic. We sweat, smile, and laugh–and of course, I snort because that's what happens when I laugh heartily.
We've lifted at Crossfit Boxes in Sydney and Queenstown, and hit up hotel gyms in Bali, Auckland, and Melbourne. She tricks me into doing absurdly hard workouts and I entice her with yoga poses.
We push each other to explore our strengths and exist on the fringe of our comfort zones. She's always the fastest and strongest girl in our Crossfit class, and inspires me to keep up with her during workouts.
Here's the thing: I care about your strength.
I want you to harness it, to embody it, to feel so connected to it that you want to shout it to the world. I want you to know that the force is strong with you, and I want to help you make it stronger. That's why I'm here, afterall. That's why this blog exists.
In the spirit of strengthening your force and helping you harness it, as well as in support of sisterhood, I'm incredibly excited today to announce the much anticipated launch of Jill's new program, treadLIFT.
treadLIFT is a 36-workout program comprised of Build, Burn, and Boost workouts–all of which only a treadmill and pair of dumbbells are required. It's designed to help you find enjoyment, efficiency, and effectiveness through movement. What does that mean?
It means that when you do treadLIFT workouts, you'll get stronger, leaner, healthier, and happier–all while saving time and having fun doing it. You won't spend hours in the gym wasting your time and never seeing results. You won't get bored, and you'll constantly be amazed by the incredible things your body can do.
I believe in Jill Coleman and every single thing she brings to fitness table; treadLIFT is no exception.
Is Lift treadLIFT for YOU?
- Do you love to move your body in different ways while challenging yourself and seeing amazing results? Do you love lifting, sweating, and discovering abilities you never knew you had?
- Do you like ease and adaptability when it comes to your workouts?
- Are you interested in seeing serious results without spending hours in the gym?
- Do you want the force to be strong(er) with you?
- Do you want to be consistent with your workouts, no matter where in the world you travel?
- Do you want your training to be easy to follow and see incredible results?
If so, then yes, treadLIFT is for you. If burning fat WHILE building muscle and having a helluva good time sounds like your kind of workout, then treadLIFT is for you. If you're not thrilled with traditional cardio, are frustrated at a lack of results, or just want to ramp up your athleticism, treadLIFT is for you.
I hope that through your own journey of strength you come face to face with just how strong the force is with you. I hope that you never go a day without recognizing how powerful, radiant, and unique you are–and I hope that you then embrace those qualities wholeheartedly.
And most importantly, I hope that you then take that force and share it with the women in your life. Strength is contagious–pass it on.

Ingredients for Milky Way Cupcakes
For the Cupcakes:
3/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 C flour
3/4 tsp baking powder
3/4 tsp salt
2 eggs
3/4 tbsp unsalted sweet cream butter, softened
1 tsp vanilla

2 tsp caramel
12 Mini Milky Way candy bars
For the Frosting:
1 C unsalted
1/2 C cocoa
3 C powder sugar
1 tsp Caramel
5 TBS heavy whipping cream
Directions to Make Milky Way Cupcakes
For the Cupcakes:
1. Begin by preheating the oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Line a cupcake pan with liners and set aside.
3. In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt together and set aside.
4. Next, in a standing mixer, cream together the butter and sugar.

6. Next, add the vanilla and caramel.
7. Then add the flour and milk, making sure to alternate between the two.
8. Mix until fully combined.

Today's Photograph . . . . It's Usually That We Have Walked Away From Him (Dave W)
Bible Study Verse
Joshua 1:5
No one will be able to stand against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you. (NIV)
I purchased my first trail cam this fall, and I've loved the results of having it on my food plots. I've been able to see deer at all times of the day.
I've got some twins who come in just about the same time every afternoon; I've got a spike that frequently comes in during the morning; and I've got some nice bucks that frequent the food plots at about 3:00am.
The part that I've enjoyed most though is being able to see the bucks that come in the middle of the night. I've got some bruisers coming in that I never even knew were in the area.
The knowledge of their presence has increased my motivation to continue to hunt. There are some mornings where I just don't feel like getting out of bed, but the fact that I've discovered that they are there propels me to get up and out there.
(Dave M)

God says that He is always with us. We can never go to a place that He is not. I can hike out in the bush, and He is there. I can venture off into the middle of nowhere fishing, and He is still there. I can hunt in the most remote area, and He is right by my side.
What a comfort it is to know that God is always with me. There are times in our lives that are dark, and there are times where we wait on God for what seems like an eternity, but have faith. He is right there. He never has left your side, nor will He ever.
Usually, the issue is not that he has left us; it's usually that we have walked away from Him. Turn back; He's there!

Hey gang! I just wrapped up a session at the Sportsational Training Facility batting cages. I love to do anything involving baseball whenever I can. I also know that working on my baseball game helps me become a better baseball player.
When you practice a particular sport or activity it means you perform aspects of that sport or activity over and over again. When you do something, like take batting practice for example, on a repetitive basis it helps you become more successful at it.
Practice also helps you work on the areas of an activity or a sport that you struggle in. Take my baseball game for instance. I am pretty good at catching and throwing a baseball, but I am not as good at hitting a baseball. Since batting is an area of the game that I need to work on I spend a lot of my time practicing my swing in the batting cages.
I still have to work on my throwing and catching skills because you are never too good to practice, but since I have the most difficulties in the batter's box that is what I work on the most.
Practice is also a terrific and fun way to get some exercise doing something you love. So remember to practice kids. It's helpful, healthy and fun!
Your baseball buddy,

Many people who are applying for Social Security Disability Insurance are also unemployed. In fact, due to the fact that the economy has gotten so poor over the past few years, there have been more applications for both Social Security Disability Insurance and Supplemental Security Income than ever before.
The short answer is "it depends." The longer answer is that it depends on the state in which you live. There are certain states that allow you to collect both Social Security Disability Insurance/Supplemental Security Income and unemployment, and there are others that will only allow you to collect one or the other. There are also some states that require you to "pay back" unemployment benefits for any month in which the individual in question received SSDI benefits.
It is important to be aware of the laws in your specific state regarding SSDI and unemployment before you apply for both. It can be a costly mistake to make if you apply for too many forms of benefits in your state – and can result in fines or costly legal transactions. If you have any question weather or not you are eligible for Social Security Disability Insurance/Supplemental Security Income and unemployment in your state, be sure to look up the answer online, or if you are unsure how to do this, you can always discuss the prospect with a disability lawyer.

TitreThe Narrowing-Down of the OEEC/OECD Migration Functions, 1947–1986
Directeur de l'ouvrageMatthieu Leimgruber, Matthias Schmelzer
Titre de l'ouvrageThe OECD and the International Political Economy Since 1948
Ville d'éditionLondon
Maison d'éditionPalgrave Macmillan
This chapter explains how Western European states determined the migration functions of the organisation. In the early years of the Cold War, the United States attempted to use the OEEC to open up the migration regime in Western Europe. However the OEEC included too many poor emigration countries to develop an open migration regime. Given immigration states' reluctance to more ambitious projects, the organisation served mainly as a forum of weak coordination of immigration practices. In the late 1960s and early 1970s, the shift from liberal to restrictive migration policies appeared to open a window of opportunity for the OECD. Emigration countries, supported by the OECD Secretariat, tried to develop cooperation so as to redistribute the costs of those policies. However, disagreements within its heterogeneous membership and competition from other international organisations undermined the OECD's position. The organisation found itself in the mid-1980s assuming migration functions only at the level of information.

Tickets are $30. with 85% of the proceeds benefitting the charity.
A couple years ago, I connected with Bravepup. I was flying home to NJ and wanted to bring back an East Coast pup who would otherwise have been at-risk for euthanasia. If you're unacquainted with the shelter systems outside of the PNW, it's heart-breaking. HOWEVER, through transfers and many dedicated volunteers it's getting better!
This is Shadow, the pup from that trip:

|Harley Quinn thinks that this article looks kinda boring, eh? Why not put some categories there to spice it up?
Help by adding new categories to the article!
|No! Anvil say STOP!
|~ Anvil, to Mark Hollander.
Anvil is a minor villain in the BBC TV series and video game Ace Lightning. He is one of Lord Fear's minions and serves the purpose of a pet, of sorts, and a muscle-guy.
He is voiced by Howard Jerome.
Appearing as an anthropomorphic upright rhinoceros dressed in medieval-style clothing (hinting him as being the oldest character in the show), with a wooden barrel and trash-can lid strapped to one of his shoulders and an iron anvil in place of his right arm (hence his name), Anvil is Lord Fear's muscle and semi-pet. He is very stupid and suffers from both a severely short temper and a severe phobia of the dark.
Anvil has super strength, rivaling both Ace Lightning and Random Virus, his rival. He also transforms into the Kent Bros. Carnival's strength-testing game, when his powers are depleted. He also grows very strong as the series progresses.
As with many Ace Lightning villains, not a great deal is known about Anvil's past, although it's known that Anvil was imprisoned with Lord Fear, by Ace, in energy vats in the Sixth Dimension. When Fear escaped, Anvil followed him. He then became Ace's recurring rival, with his increasing strength in season 1, up until episode 26, when Mark Hollander broke the Amulet of Zoar. Anvil returned in season 2, albeit with even more strength, but with less patience and stubbornness. Anvil was defeated in episode 13 (the final episode of season 2) by Lord Fear, who'd temporarily allied himself with Ace in order to destroy all his enemies in one go.

The Rock, Dwayne Johnson, is known for the phrase: Do you know what the rock is cookin'?
As a matter of faact, if some how he was shrunk to a short Filipino, you'd think I was his clone. =) Call me mini-rock!
Alright then, let's rock-n-roll and finish up Chapter 3.
Act 3:12 – So when Peter saw [it], he responded to the people: "Men of Israel, why do you marvel at this? Or why look so intently at us, as though by our own power or godliness we had made this man walk?
Peter wasn't going to take credit for the healing or become some christian celeb. Many ministers and musicians are idolized for their abilities. They fall into a trap of deception, truly believing that have been endowed with power, special favor from God, and/or reached some high degree of spirituality. If they're going to steal God's thunder, they're in for a shocker when God sends down the thunderbolt and drops them dead.
Act 3:13 – "The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our fathers, glorified His Servant Jesus, whom you delivered up and denied in the presence of Pilate, when he was determined to let [Him] go.
Act 3:14 – "But you denied the Holy One and the Just, and asked for a murderer to be granted to you,
Act 3:15 – "and killed the Prince of life, whom God raised from the dead, of which we are witnesses.
Act 3:16 – "And His name, through faith in His name, has made this man strong, whom you see and know. Yes, the faith which [comes] through Him has given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.
Act 3:17 – "Yet now, brethren, I know that you did [it] in ignorance, as [did] also your rulers.
Act 3:18 – "But those things which God foretold by the mouth of all His prophets, that the Christ would suffer, He has thus fulfilled.
Act 3:19 – "Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord,
This is what I call no-hold barred preaching. Who would you feel if someone accused you of murder or something you didn't do? We all know that familiar feeling of someone throwing you under a bus. But instead of laying a big guilt trip on them, Peter said they did it in ignorance and God wasn't mad at them for it. I can't help but hear the words of Jesus on the cross, "Father, forgive them; for they do not know what they are doing." (Luke 23:24)
Act 3:20 – "and that He may send Jesus Christ, who was preached to you before,
Act 3:21 – "whom heaven must receive until the times of restoration of all things, which God has spoken by the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began.
Act 3:22 – "For Moses truly said to the fathers, 'The LORD your God will raise up for you a Prophet like me from your brethren. Him you shall hear in all things, whatever He says to you.
Act 3:23 – 'And it shall be [that] every soul who will not hear that Prophet shall be utterly destroyed from among the people.'
Act 3:24 – "Yes, and all the prophets, from Samuel and those who follow, as many as have spoken, have also foretold these days.
The audience was familiar with the prophecies of the coming Messiah, the Prince of Life, but were hoping for a political Messiah, instead. Peter was simply reminding and clarifying what they already knew. Peter is like a Hibachi master-chef who has put all the right ingredients together and you see him cook it in front of you. Do you smell what the rock is cookin'? =)
Act 3:25 – "You are sons of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying to Abraham, 'And in your seed all the families of the earth shall be blessed.'
Act 3:26 – "To you first, God, having raised up His Servant Jesus, sent Him to bless you, in turning away every one [of you] from your iniquities."
Friends, God is inviting us to be part of His Family. Our sins can be blotted out if we come to Jesus for the permanent solution. But the only way to receive it is to repent and if you do, God will refresh you and make you whole and complete. What is repent? You're going the wrong direction and God wants you to turn around. He's waiting with open arms right now…and He's not mad at you, but rather madly in love with you.
I know this decision can be difficult for many. You may not be ready yet and that is okay. I believe God has already been speaking to you in your thoughts and maybe through your circumstances.
Just like the sick man that was looking for money but got something much better than just the next meal. He was physically restored but most importantly (by receiving the Good News), he was made brand-new in Christ.
That finishes up Chapter 3 …Good job if you made it this far in the study.

Inside the mall,madam asked that will I like to drink anything.I said no its fine.She said dont be shy,then she paused and said in a low voice that "yesterday you destroyed all my shyness,so today how can I allow seeing you shy."My jaws dropped by such kinds of words from madam's mouth.We went to a clod drinks shop,and madam ordered for only one bottle of pepsi.I asked will you not have madam.She said ofcoarse,I'll share it with you.I was dumbstruck.She took the bottle,threw the straw away and started drinking directly from her mouth,after she had drank some gulps,she gave the bottle to me.I with a pause started drinking with my mouth.Just by thought that my madam had drank by touching mouth on the bottle and I was also drinking from the same place gave me a feeling that I was smooching her and I was getting hardon.I also after some gulps,gave the bottle to madam,and she drank it with lusts in her eyes.Like this we shared the bottle.
Then we entered a shoe store as madam needed to get some sandals. As madam sat down,I found her huge busts bulging out and dangling.So I kept standing infront of her to enjoy the good view. As madam tried on a couple of pairs my eyes widened by watching her fahion of sitting.She was sitting with both her legs apart.Her pillars like fat thighs were a view to look at even from above her saree,which was thin and a clear impression of her crotch was visible to me.She was trying each sandals and as she was bending down her milky busts would bulge out.My dick hardened by looking at this fucking tease.
Then we went to a dipartmental store,where ladies and gents undergarments were being sold.My dick was pulsating as I was standing inbetween undergarments and half nude dolls with madam.Madam said to me 'driver please choose a bra and panty for me'.My dick became tight.I asked what size,Madam said with a shy smile, 38D.I surfed through few and selected one very revealing pair.Madam said wow they are great.While giving it to madam,I caught her soft palms and said that I wanted to see them how it fitted.Madam didnt reply me anything,and shyly took the garments from my hand and went towards the trial room by sexily swaying her hips.I waited infront of the trial room with my heart beat speeding up.Withing three two four minutes,I heard madam opened the lock of the door and called me in.I went in and OH MY GOD!! Madam was only in that skimpy bra and thong like panty and her saree and entire dresses were on floor.Madam was fairer than milk and on it tight black coloured bra and panty were actually making her look like sex goddess.
The way she looked at me,made my dick fly,she was biting her lips and she was full with shyness and tried to avoid my eye contact.The room was a very small trial room,so we were standing so close to eachother that her nipples of her huge busts were almost touching my chest.I said 'madam,you are a very hot item.'
She smiled by looking down and said am I that much beautiful,my husband always says that i am fat.I replied Oh madam you look like goddess to me,you are not fat,you are sexy,hot sexy,and such sexy figures must not be wasted with wimp like husbands,it must be put to good use,it must be manhandled by animals like me,I must use this body like a dustbin and make you dirty.Be my slave for one night and it will be a life long memory for you madam.' As I kept on saying these i found madam was getting very aroused as her breathing was becoming heavy.
Madam inturrupted me and said 'stop!!'………….She then said in a low shy voice by looking down "Driver,I surrender to you.Driver,please quench the thirst in my body that you have created,please..Please do whatever you want,i am your's." I said 'you bitch,then why did you teas me all these days and showed all those dramas of a loyal housewife.I knew you were a easy lay." Madam said "No,no..still today no one other than my husband has ever touched me.But from the day you had seen me in the bathroom,the way you see my body,your touches have set fire in me,and its unbearable for me now.You scroundel driver,you have destroyed my married life."(Driver plz tum mere jism ki aggg mita do.Main tumhain mala mal kardungi mujhe)
I said 'then madam,when do you want,and how will it be possible as Boss is around?'Madam said by looking at me sexily "for business purpose your boss is going out of India tonight for seven days." I went closer to madam,her busts pressed against my chest and I hugged her and caught her bums tightly.Ohhh what I feeling,indeed two huge jel bags,they were softttttttttttt!!She also hugged me.Then she said that there is a small problem.I asked what.She said though boss is going out,but at night madam's daughter would be staying at house.I said,no problem,we have to arrange outside your house.She smiled.I went out of the trial room,and after three minutes she dressed back in saree and came out.
Probably as we both were too much excited so we didnt talk to each other much.We went to the parking and I opened the door for madam and as madam was getting in the car,I slapped tight on one of her soft bums,with my big rough palms.Madam yelled in pain "Oooooo" and sat in the seat.When she looked at me,I gave a wicked smile,then madam also shyly smiled me back.I started driving and left the mall.All the while driving we didnt talk to eachother but kept on looking at each other's eyes frequently through the rear view mirror.I dropped her at her house and went to office to take boss.
Untill night my exitment knew know limit,I couldnt believe that my long dreamt madam,my sex goddess is going to be fucked by me.I can use her as I like.She is mine.I went to chemist's shop and took high doses of viagra.I was impatiently waiting for the night to come,in our servant's quator.Just then boss called me up and said to bring the car and be ready to drop me in the airport.It was night 10.30pm when I was waiting with the car,and boss and madam both were ready and they both were approaching the car when I first saw madam.Ohh!!my dick started dropping precums just by looking at her sexy outfit and by the thought of getting her tonight.

InfoWorld has a great anonymous column "Off the record" and one entry, Working on the railroad caught my attention.
Now this kind of story is sadly all too common, both in enormously complex "customization" projects for packaged or acquired software and in "build to suit" software. Massive overruns, hard to make it meet requirements, poorly defined requirements, massive enhancement projects after the implementation is "done" and, probably, an ongoing maintenance nightmare.
Now I am not going to propose for a second that any technology choice could solve the myriad problems that show up in this story and hundreds like it. However I would like to address how business rules might have helped.
If I acquired an application, packaged or from another company, that had been architected with a business rules management system at its heart, how might my experience be different?
- Well key decisions would be configurable by me so I could change the way the software behaved to better serve my needs.
- The rules being implemented would be clear and unambiguous and stored in a central location making it easier to find them, understand them and change them.
- The structure of a rules repository is typically driven by the lines of business supported or some other equally robust segmentation of the business problem. This would have made clear which lines of business were included and what the rules were for each.
- Those rules specific to each line of business could have been exposed directly to the users who understand them. Thus the folks who knew the rules about grain transportation would have had an interface through which they could have managed them directly, without going through the medium of IT.
Would this be perfect? No. Would it be better? I think so.
Now if I was going to be building a system for myself I could avoid some of the parallel problems by using a rules management approach.
- I could clearly delineate the parts of the system that were highly volatile and, instead of trying to nail down the requirements at some arbitrary point in time, I could define the kinds of rules required and let the business manage the actual rules they need at any given time.
- I could structure a rules repository to let me have core or shared rules as well as rules specific to a line of business or state or whatever.
- I could reduce the confusion between IT and the business by using a more approachable, declarative business rules syntax.
And so on.
Food for thought.

It occurred to me, as it often does while I let my mind meander, that the world really is beholden to a few nations and a few people within those nations. a while back, I did ponder the question who is financing western economies given that they are essentially bankrupt after real jobs went east?
Take for instance America, supposed bastion of freedom. Their ecomony is bankrolled to an extortionate amount by the Saudis, so it stands to reason therefore that the Saudis have quite a lot of influence in America. Its a delicious irony that gas-guzzling-truck-driving-good'ole-American patriots are actually contributing to the downfall of their country and the rise of Islam by pouring their dollars into their fuel tanks and directly to Saudi Arabia or some other Islamic country. They have yet to realise that even if a miniscule fraction of Islamic Oil wealth ends up in the hands of extremists, a miniscule amout of several billions is still more than enough to wage a worldwide campaign for as long as the oil keeps pumping. Kill the need for oil and you kill off the funding for the extremists.
The same goes for China, who thank Americans for buying their cheap DVD players as it bankrolls their worldwide resource-grabbing operations and allows them to buy American debt. Debt which is used to buy infinately more DVD players and huge TVs. Who gets the profit on this circuitous money-go-round? Well, it certainly isn't the ordinary citizens of America.
If they, the ordinary citizens of America realised how they had been conned into giving away their country one purchase at a time and did something about it, maybe the world would be a better place.
Here in Britain things are no better. Our economy is built on a fragile house of cards, with no real money changing hands. Instead of making things and selling them, our economy is based on moving money around in complex ways; a smoke and mirrors economy, where the moment the smoke begins to clear, our government leap in and pour more banknotes onto the fire in order to obfuscate the obvious fact: we are bankrupt. Anything of substance has been sold off to the highest foreign bidder. Napoleon called us a nation of shopkeepers and thats exactly what we are: the only major UK-owned businesses are in shopping or services. Our heavy manufacturing like steel is foreign-owned, our utilities are foreign-owned and the majority of our railway companies are also foreign-owned. The government are determined to sell-off, or if that doesn't work completely destroy one of the last bastions of UK-ownership, the Post Office. Why does no-one ask the simple question: why? Why would they do their utmost to conspire to sell it into foreign ownership?
In the wider scheme of Europe, our political elite are conspiring to ensnare us so that when we do eventually come to our senses, find out the whole bloody thing is a Stalinist sham and start to rebel, they have such overbearing draconian powers that we may never be able to escape the trap set for us.
Africa is constantly fed arms from China in exchange for mineral rights. China knows where the future is and its not in oil, but the control of the raw materials necessary to make things. As China is the worlds biggest manufacturer, claiming control of mineral rights for itself via "partnerships" is a sensible, self-preservation policy.
The world policy on Africa seems to be give it enough guns to be unstable, because if it ever became organised, it would be a force to be reckoned with.
I just hope for our childrens sakes that eventually, in the not-too-distant future, the majority of ordinary people will see what is going on and demand change. Freedom from being held to ransom by the finances of despotic regimes, freedom from a political elite that would sell their own mother to line their pockets, freedom from a lifetime of tyrrany and slavery.
