Introduction: Settlers of Catan Support Board (For Under $10)
I will show you a cheap and easy way to create a playing surface to hold your tiles together and allow you to easily move your game.
Teacher Notes
Teachers! Did you use this instructable in your classroom?
Add a Teacher Note to share how you incorporated it into your lesson.
Step 1: Gather Your Supplies
I first looked at Wal-mart and the foam board they had was too small. I found the appropriate size at Meijer.
What you will need:
1. Pencil
2. Foam Board x 2 (22in. x 28in)
3.Settlers of Catan Tiles
4. X-acto Knife (Cutting Matt)
5. Ruler
6. Glue or other type of adhesive
7. Soda cans or something to use as weights
Step 2: Arrange the Tiles on the Foam Board.
Arrange 7 tiles in the center of the first piece of foam board. I arranged these length wise. I used a ruler to get the tiles equal distant from the edges of the foam board. In my example here, it was ~77mm and ~235 mm from the edges. I then applied the soda cans to keep the tiles in place. I then assembled the remaining tiles.
Step 3: Trace an Outline Around the Tiles
Once I centered the tiles on the board, I then used a pencil to trace an outline. The cans add weight and help the tiles to stay in place while you trace the outline.
Step 4: Finish Marking and Trimming Excess
I added additional lines to achieve an even border. I also drew sort of an oval to allow easy removal of the lid later. With all the marks made, I carefully used an X-acto knife to cut all the marks.
Step 5: After Making Your Cuts
Once all the cuts are complete, you should have two pieces. The center piece you can save for later if you would like a lid for your board. The lid maybe useful for storage and transport.
Step 6: Marking & Trimming the Bottom Board
I then centered the border piece on top of the second piece of foam board. Once in place, I marked the edges. I then trimmed off the excess from the second (bottom) piece.
Step 7: Glue the Pieces Together
I then glued the border piece onto the bottom piece together. I used multiple cans to add weight while the glue dried.
Step 8: Enjoy the Finished Product
Once finished you will have an inexpensive board to help keep your tiles in place while you play. Game on!

Damn, that's a cool way to store your game ! I'd love to see this decorate in the Catan graphics theme :)
Thanks so much! I made one and it works great.
Thanks, I followed your example and made a very similar board for my catan set. I made it for the 5-6 player expantsion.
My set was the newer one mentioned above but I don't like the solid border as the pieces still move. This is great and solid. The expansion came with port tiles so it works well.
I'm considering cutting it and adding small hinges so it can fold like similar boards but I haven't made the jump yet.
This is fantastic, but seems a bit unweildy for storage. Would there be a way to make one that could be rolled up or something?
simple, cheap and brilliant. Three things that make me say 5/5
It's nice but I see a lot of wastage, you could have done this with one sheet I think?
You could get by with just one sheet if you only wanted a border. Using two sheets is nice, because it allows you to lift and move the game if necessary.
I meant that the spare card from the big hexagon would provide enough material to make the border. You'd have to assemble the border from 6 separate pieces, but you'd only use one sheet of card.
The new version of Settlers of Catan comes with a solid border that you could use for this same purpose, but for those who have the older version of the game this is a great hack!
Good work!
that is a really neat solution, I really hate it when all the tiles start shifting when there is something placed at the board

ISU Blood Drive at the BBC
Event Description
The American Red Cross needs your help! We have a blood drive scheduled this Friday at the ISU Bowling and Billiards Activity Center from 11am-4pm and we are in need of additional donors! We have a collect target set at 71 pints and we must achieve that target in order to have the needed blood and blood products for our hospital customers!! We currently only have 20 donors signed up and need 98 donors signed up in order to achieve our collection target!
"Also due to the recent hurricanes it has forced the cancellation of nearly 100 American Red Cross blood drives in Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina, resulting in more than 2,700 uncollected blood donations." The Red Cross as a whole will see a significant loss of blood and blood products due to cancellations of many scheduled blood drives!! This will affect the available blood and blood products for our hospital customers and hospital patients!!! Blood needs to be available at all times no matter where you live! You can help by donating now! Your blood donation can help now more than ever!! Remember one unit of blood can help save up to three lives!! The need for blood is constant and only volunteer donors can fulfill that need for patients in our community. Nationwide, someone needs a unit of blood every 2 to 3 seconds and most of us will need blood in our lifetime.
This blood drive is sponsored by the Redbird Red Cross and Alpha Kappa Psi.
To schedule an appointment, please contact Michael Cisneros at firstname.lastname@example.com or Rebecca Vondnska at email@example.com or visit www.redcrossblood.org

Britt and Mauk Earn SEC Weekly Honors
BIRMINGHAM Ala.- The Missouri Tigers had some standout players in their rebounding win against the Tennessee Volunteers on Saturday that received conference awards for their play.
Senior offensive lineman Justin Britt aided in an all-around effort up front to prevent the Vols from recording a single sack on quarterback Maty Mauk. The 2014 Senior Bowl Watch List member also created space at the line of scrimmage for Mauk and the tailbacks to rush for 339 yards in the game, earning himself the honor of the Southeastern Conference's Offensive Line Player of the Week.
For the second time this season, Mauk was named the SEC Freshman of the Week by rushing for 114 yards and throwing for 163 yards. He became the first Mizzou quarterback to rush and pass for over 100 yards in a game since James Franklin accomplished the feat in 2011.
Missouri has now ammounted a total of nine SEC weekly awards this season, breaking its former record of eight set in 2007.
The Tigers will look to improve to 9-1 as they travel to Kentucky this Saturday for their first road test in four weeks.

That opens up our eyes
To the unexpected gifts in life—
Each day a sweet surprise.
For the people whom we know;
Like festive Christmas candles,
Each one has a special glow.
A dash of Christmas food,
(Amazing how a piece of pie
Improves our attitude!)
Wrap it up in love and peace,
Decorate with optimism, and
Our joy will never cease.
We know we will remember
To be in the Christmas spirit,
Even when it's not December.

I have often written here that Brian Lehrer, the popular talk show host at WNYC public radio, reflects a strongly pro-Israel position because he regards himself as representing the attitudes of the Jewish community in New York. Yesterday in a discussion of the Supreme Court, Lehrer openly embraced that bias, and took a shot at Noam Chomsky in doing so:
Brian Lehrer: Can I ask you, what is Clarence Thomas's legacy on the court on these racially charged cases? I always thought having Clarence Thomas as the only black person on the Supreme Court is like having Noam Chomsky as the only Jew at the U.N. You know– from the group, but opposed to the positions of probably 90 percent of the group on the salient issues. Do his votes this week on affirmative action and the Voting Rights Act and over his career bear that out?
Adam Liptak of New York Times: He has taken a very consistent and most people would say principled, hard line against racial classifications from the government whether for good or ill. He doesn't want the government's help. He thinks that black people can make it on their own. And in all of these cases, he takes a very hard line against any kind of he'd call it discrimination, whether it's benign or not, whether it means to help historically disadvantaged groups or not. And that's been his position since he was a very young man.
A couple of comments. I wonder how many of Noam Chomsky's statements decrying the brutal exercise of US power overseas or supporting human rights in Palestine would actually be objectionable to the liberal Jewish community? It is time we had that battle, and let Lehrer stand up for Iraq-war neoconservatives– whom he so often hosts on his show– and drones. And see where "the community" is.
But let's say Lehrer is right. He might be right. And by Chomsky he means cultural Zionists and anti-Zionists: so we are on the fringe in the Jewish community. Well then, here's a simple challenge to Lehrer. Where are we politically represented? Clarence Thomas has strong political support, inside the Republican Party. Adam Liptak speaks respectfully of Thomas's positions, above; and there are other black conservatives in public roles. Where's our home? I'm not talking about the synagogues– but in the press, on WNYC, the New York Times, and in the Congress and legislatures. Who thinks we have a point? And if we don't have a home, isn't that a bad thing?
This was first reported by the tireless Lisa Guido. Thanks to her and Adam Horowitz.

Best Bars in Glasgow City Centre 2017
Last Updated: 29th January 2017
Going out in Glasgow and need a few ideas? The following list is a handful of the best bars in Glasgow city centre and the surrounding areas. These are all bars we love here at Get Out Glasgow, as well as suggestions from our thousands of Twitter and Facebook followers. Glasgow has an excellent bar scene, and the compact nature of the city centre means most are just a short walk from each other. This guide covers the main "going out" areas of the city centre, including the heart of the city around Central and Queen Street train stations, 5 minutes walk north to Bath Street/Sauchiehall Street (two main thoroughfares which are lined with bars and clubs), and 10 minutes walk east to the Merchant City.
Click here to see the latest exclusive deals on food, drink and more in Glasgow.
Of course, we know the Glasgow bar scene fairly well, but we're far from infallible, so drop us a tweet with any of your own suggestions and we'll be sure to take a look! Enough chat though, check out the best bars in Glasgow below!
Bars around Central & Queen Street Stations
The Pot Still, 154 Hope Street, G2, £
A real local favourite, receiving more shout-outs from our followers than anywhere else. It's a small pub with a massive drink selection, particularly if you're in the mood for a whisky. The staff are credited with being both friendly and highly knowledgeable when it comes to choosing a tipple. Great selection of beers here too, and good solid pub food.
Stereo & The Old Hairdressers, Renfield Lane, G2, £
These are actually two separate bars, but they have the same vibe, same owner and are right next to each other. Both have a chilled out, stripped back aesthetic and well stocked bars. Stereo serves top-notch vegan food all day, whereas Old Hairdressers opens a bit later and is just a bar. Both places regularly host gigs and are a great drinking spot if you're drawn to the more casual environment. Full review of Old Hairdressers here.
Tabac, 10 Mitchell Lane, G1, ££
Stylish, quirky bar right next to the Lighthouse. Has a great selection of spirits and draught beers from around the world, served (unusually) by the schooner. Nice relaxed environment inside and always a good buzz of atmosphere.
Sloans, 62 Argyll Arcade, G2, ££
One of the oldest pubs in Glasgow (claims to be the oldest) brings a cosy, traditional Scottish atmosphere to the city centre pub scene. Very popular venue for weddings and receptions, and even hosts a monthly Macaroni Cheese appreciation club. Click here to read our full review.
The Lab, 26 Springfield Court, G1, ££
Buchanan Street may be "the style mile", but it can be hard to get a good pint. One of few decent bars off Buchanan Street, The Lab is the perfect after-work haunt for would be city slickers. Boasts a nice little inner-city beer garden which, inevitably, will be bursting at the seams the minute there's a hint of warmth in the air.
The Flying Duck, 142 Renfield Street, G2, £
Not *quite* in the Central/Queen Street Station area, but it's such a great bar we couldn't overlook it. At the top of Renfield Street (across from Cineworld) you'll find this basement bar/club. Recently refurbished and rearranged, it doesn't feel quite as cosy as it once did, but it still does the laid back, unpretentious bar thing really well.
Bars around Sauchiehall Street/Bath Street
Butterfly & Pig, 153 Bath Street, G2, ££
Popular with all age groups, this slightly old fashioned (probably deliberately) bar/restaurant, themselves describing it as a "welcoming, shabby chic, vintage country" interior, is a busy weekend haunt but also great for a few beers after work. Very reasonably priced, and great for a meal too if you're so inclined.
Nice N Sleazy, 421 Sauchiehall Street, G2, £
One of the longest standing independent pubs in the city. Great atmosphere, good drink selection at fantastic prices. The music can be hit or miss, and the service can be slow, but you'll always have a great night here. Dedicated gig venue downstairs too, rock club on the weekends. Click here to read our full review.
Broadcast, 427 Sauchiehall Street, G2, £
Right next door to Nice N Sleazy, Broadcast feels like its slightly less edgy cousin. Ultimately though, it's actually a much nicer bar with a big drink selection, decent (although not as good as it used to be) food and a cosy gig venue downstairs which pulls a lot of the big-but-not-that-big touring bands who hit Glasgow.
Saramago, CCA, 350 Sauchiehall Street, G2, £
Part of Glasgow's CCA so it's easy to miss if you don't know it's there, but Saramago is a great little cafe/bar in its own right, which also serves excellent veggie food.
Flat 0/1, 162 Bath Street, G2, £
Not quite as cool as it thinks it is, but if you you're in the mood for a "themed" bar/club (the theme being a run down flat from the 70s) then this might be up your street. It's cheap and cheerful, open 'til 3am Tuesday to Saturday and always has a good buzz about it – definitely not for everyone though.
Variety Bar, 401 Sauchiehall Street, G2, £
In the heart of Sauchiehall Street's maddest goings on, The Variety Bar offers a bit of respite with a huge selection of drinks, unique retro aesthetics and the introduction of its "Smoak" menu brings some wonderful food to the table as well. Well worth a look to escape the madding crowd and enjoy one of a great selection of beers.
Hummingbird, 186 Bath Street, G2, ££
A sprawling place with several rooms including multiple bars, a club and a restaurant. Nice for a chilled out meal/couple of drinks during the week but very much becomes a "going out" kind of place for the 18 to 20 year olds at the weekend.
Tiki Bar & Kitsch Inn, 214 Bath Street, G2, £
Nice chilled out bar and restaurant at the Charing Cross end of Bath Street. Good selection of drinks, including loads of tropical cocktails and a good pan-asian food menu.
Bars around Merchant City
Maggie Mays, 60 Trongate, G1, £
Right on the southern fringe of the Merchant City, Maggie Mays is without a doubt one of the most popular bars in the area. Busy basically all the time, it's nice for a chilled out meal or a couple of pints through the week, but almost approaches club levels of music and atmosphere on the weekend. Click here to read our full review
Beer Cafe, 78 Candleriggs, G1, ££
One of the best bottled beer selections you'll find anywhere in the city with an extensive menu, categorised by the many different countries from which they originate. Seating is mainly around the edges of the bar with lots of standing room and numerous tables out within Merchant Square itself. There are also a few outdoor seats on Candleriggs itself, but good luck getting one when the weather's good enough to want to!
Bar 91, 91 Candleriggs, G1, ££
Another bar which comes highly recommended by our Twitter followers, this cool bar on Candleriggs always pulls a crowd. Bustling atmosphere with a fantastic beer selection (bit of a trend in this part of town!) and solid food too. It ain't cheap, but it's not too bad either.
13th Note, 50-60 King Street, G1, £
One of the city centres best rock bars, as it doesn't smack you over the head with it like certain others. Laid back atmosphere, a really good beer selection including loads of locals and a dedicated gig venue downstairs, plus fantastic vegetarian food to boot. Can get rowdy on the weekends but you'll usually find a space. Click here to read our full review.
Blackfriars, 36 Bell Street, G1, £
A semi-traditional pub which always has a great selection of guest ales on the taps, at good prices. With a pub quiz every Monday and regular gigs throughout the week, there's always something going on. Quite a large bar, there's plenty of seating both inside and out. It really busies up with locals on the weekend.
WEST, Templeton Building, Glasgow Green, G40, ££
A bit of a walk further east (15 minutes or so) from the merchant city, but if you're in the area and want some quality local beer it's worth making the trip. Right on the edge of Glasgow Green, the old templeton carpet factory now houses this Glasgow institution – brewery, bar and restaurant all in one. A beautiful place to relax on a sunny day (and not a bad place to drown your sorrows on a rainy one too).
Mono, 12 King's Court, G1, £
A very laid back bar/vegan restaurant/record store (in the form of monorail music), good selection of drinks, reasonable prices and it's a pretty big place so it takes a lot to get it busy (although it does happen). Another one for fans of a stripped back, casual environment to drink in.
We hope you've found this guide useful and that you'll get out and try a few of these amazing Glasgow city centre pubs and bars. Don't hesitate to connect with us on Facebook or Twitter to let us know how you get on, or if you have your own favourites that didn't make the list.

Restraint/Crisis Intervention Techniques Committee
- What is the charge of the committee?
- How is 'restraint' defined by the committee?
- Are the coordinated standards intended for children only?
What is the charge of the Committee?
The Committee has a three-fold charge.
- To identify the most effective, least restrictive and safest techniques for the modification of a child's behavior in response to an actual or perceived threat by the child of harm or bodily injury to the child or others. This required the group to examine a number of behavior supports as well as focus on the most restrictive forms of crisis intervention.
- To review models of crisis prevention and intervention, including the use of physical restraints.
- To establish uniform and coordinated standards.
These standards are outlined in the report submitted to the Legislature September 2007.
How is 'restraint' defined by the Committee?
Restraint refers to physical restraints. Specifically, physical restraint is defined as the application of physical force by one or more individuals that immobilizes or reduces the ability of another individual to move his or her arms, legs, body or head freely, for the purpose of preventing harm to self or others. Physical restraint is used in emergency situations and does not include the use of touch for the purpose of calming or comforting the individual, or assistance or support of an individual for the purpose of permitting him or her to participate in activities of daily living (ADL), such as eating, dressing and educational activities or for the purpose of conditioning behavior. This is considered one of the most restrictive forms of crisis intervention.
Are the coordinated standards intended for children only?
The standards were developed for children but may be applicable to adults.

text: The Iranian Revolutionary Guard is believed to control as much as 40 per cent of Iran's economy, the bills passed by the US House of Representatives would impose sanctions on any individual or company that deals with them [EPA] Amid growing tensions in the Middle East, including speculation about a possible Israeli attack on Iran, a key US Congressional committee passed on Wednesday two bills that would impose sweeping new economic and diplomatic sanctions against Tehran. The legislation, which includes sanctions against Iran's Central Bank and strict curbs on official diplomatic contacts between Washington and Tehran, was approved unanimously by voice vote of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the House of Representatives. The Committee chairperson and major sponsor of the legislation, Florida Republican Representative Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, said she hoped the whole House and the Senate would act quickly on the two bills so that their enactment would "hand the Iranian regime a nice holiday present", presumably a reference to the Christmas holidays. But lobbyists on Capitol Hill predicted that the Democratic-led Senate would be unlikely to act until after the New Year and that, barring any major new crisis between Tehran and Washington, the legislation's more radical provisions would eventually be watered down. Still, the fact that such draconian legislation is making headway in Congress is likely to further stoke rising tensions in the region, particularly in the wake of US accusations last month that "elements" of Iran's government plotted to assassinate the Saudi ambassador here and simmering press speculation that the government of Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu is actively considering an attack on Tehran's nuclear facilities. Testing the terrain Indeed, Israel's test-firing Wednesday of a long-range ballistic missile - the first such test in more than three years - appeared designed to heighten the speculation. The fact that the test was overseen by Defence Minister Ehud Barak, who, along with Netanyahu, is reported to favour an attack, did nothing to dispel that notion, despite denials by the government. According to some observers here, the war talk in Jerusalem may be intended primarily to encourage lawmakers in the US to support the strongest possible sanctions legislation, which Netanyahu has repeatedly called for over the last several years. "My guess is that this sudden campaign on the part of the Israelis is intended to scare the US and the Europeans into a very strong diplomatic and economic response when the IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency) report providing additional information on Iran's weaponisation activities comes out next week," said Barry Blechman, a nuclear proliferation expert at the Stimson Centre. "The bluster on military strikes tends to coincide with periods in which new sanctions are considered," noted Trita Parsi, president of the National Iranian American Council, which opposed the legislation approved by the Foreign Affairs Committee. "The Israelis push this on the US and the EU (European Union) by arguing that, absent new strong sanctions, Israel will be 'forced' to do strikes, and the US then uses that argument to push sanctions on other states in and outside of the (UN Security Council). We've seen this pattern several times before," said Parsi, author of an award-winning 2007 book, Treacherous Alliance, on the history of secret dealings between the US, Israel and Iran since 1979. If that indeed was Israel's intent, it seems to have succeeded in the House Committee where Democrats joined Republicans in expressing the need to punish Tehran. The acts The first bill, the Iran, North Korea and Syria Nonproliferation Reform and Modernisation Act, would impose penalties against any individual or company - foreign as well as domestic - that has facilitated the transfer of equipment that could be used in Iran's nuclear programme. It also would bar access to the US of any vessels that have visited ports of any of the three countries in the last two years. The second bill, the Iran Threat Reduction Act, is more comprehensive. Among other provisions, it would sharply reduce the president's authority to waive existing sanctions against any individual, company or country doing business with Iran; expand existing sanctions against companies that sell Iran refined petroleum to include any barter transactions; and impose sanctions against any individual, company or country that conducts a transaction with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), which is believed to control as much as 40 per cent of the Iran's national economy. Three last-minute additions to the bill also attracted special notice. One provision would eliminate the president's authority to waive, for humanitarian reasons, sanctions against companies that sell spare parts or repair services to Iran's civilian aircraft industry, which has suffered more than 1,000 deaths in plane crashes over the past decade, in major part due to faulty or worn-out equipment. A second provision would ban any contact between any person employed by the US government and any Iranian official or agent unless the president certifies to Congress at least 15 days in advance that a failure to make such a contact "would pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to the vital national security interests of the United States". "If enacted, this legislation… would prevent any exploration of ways to resolve disagreement over that Iranian nuclear program that we are supposedly so intensely concerned about," wrote Paul Pillar, the US intelligence community's top Near East analyst from 2000 to 2005, on his blog on the nationalinterest.org website. "…And it would prevent any diplomacy to keep US-Iranian incidents or crises… from spinning out of control, unless the crisis conveniently stretched out beyond the fifteen-day notification period," he added, noting that the nuclear stand-off between the US and the Soviet Union during the October 1962 Cuban missile crisis lasted 13 days. "It is impossible to imagine any purpose being served by such a provision other than enabling politicians to express once again how much they hate Iran and how implacable they are willing to be toward Iran," noted Pillar, who now teaches at Georgetown University. The bank connection A third provision would require the president to determine within 30 days of the bill's enactment whether Iran's central bank is supporting the country's alleged biological, chemical, nuclear, missile, or advanced conventional weapons programmes, supporting the IRGC, or aiding international terrorism. If such a determination were made, the president would then be required to ban any foreign bank that does significant business with Iran's central bank from engaging in economic activity in the US. Even Washington's European allies are known to have serious reservations about such a far-reaching step, which, administration officials have quietly warned, would almost certainly be challenged by Russia, China, and other major emerging countries, as well as provoke a nationalist response in Iran that would strengthen more hard-line factions. "Today's actions by the House Foreign Affairs Committee to legislate even more draconian, extraterritorial and unilateral sanctions on Iran... fly in the face of facts on the ground, the demonstrable failure of previous sanctions to achieve their stated purpose, and the basic rules of diplomacy among nations," said Bill Reinsch, president of the National Foreign Trade Council, a business association representing the US and foreign multinational corporations here. "The Committee's approach would foreclose any constructive engagement by the administration and put the United States on a forced march to counter-productive confrontation," he added.

Window replacement can be a big job, whether you do it yourself or hire a contractor or company to do it. New windows are very energy-efficient, and they also can give your home a new look. Before starting your window replacement project, however, it's good to keep some principles in mind. The remainder of this article will give you information on which windows to choose, and how to save money as the job gets done. To make the replacing of windows worthwhile, they should save you money on your energy bills. You will be amazed at the warmth you will feel in the winter, and the coolness in the summer, after having your windows replaced with energy-efficient windows.
If you want to get the best possible type of insulation from your windows, you should go with triple pane windows, though these of course will also be more expensive. The cost of the windows you need will be determined, for the most part, by the climate where you live. When you do not need to be concerned about extreme heat, or extreme cold, the energy efficiency of the window is not the most important issue. Unless you have a good recommendation from a reliable person, you should get several estimates before choosing a company to do your work. Another concern that needs to be outlined, unless you are not replacing them, are the frames that surround your windows on your home. Although wood frames are very popular, they also require a great deal of maintenance over the years. The best choice that anyone can make, especially in regard to energy efficiency, is to choose vinyl over wood. If you are worried about how much this will cost, understand that it is priced in a nominal range. Most people do not use aluminum because it is not cost-efficient, especially in regard to your heating and cooling budget. Over time, the initial cost of investing in fiberglass frames will save you thousands of dollars in energy costs.
If you're planning to replace your windows yourself, you should shop around to find the best deal you can. You should make a few trips to local home improvement centers and find out if there are any specials going on right now.
This is a good time to look through local publications, and even online, to find out who may be offering a good discount on windows. Even when you are comparing exactly the same product, like windows, if they have different warranties, they have a different value. To get the energy-efficient windows that will make a difference, you will most likely have to spend more money.
Replacing all of your windows may be a difficult job, but it will be worth it in the long-run. Like painting your whole house, it's the kind of project that gives your home a feeling of newness. In these times of escalating fuel bills, it can also reduce your heating costs, which is one of the best reasons to do it. With the right information you will be able to make the best choice when it comes to window replacements.

Last week during a routine business trip, I stayed at a Marriott hotel and noticed that they left me a door hanger. This wouldn't typically be unusual, but what made me look twice was the offer attached to it. It explained that if I passed on having housekeeping clean my room that night, I would automatically earn 500 Marriott points. Considering that it usually takes at least 25,000 points to earn a free stay at even the most basic Marriott, this offer wasn't surprising for its payoff, but it did force me to consider how loyalty programs need to evolve in sports the same way they have with other major brands.
Loyalty is a sticky concept that a lot of sports teams can take advantage of. A lot of organizations are focused on selling the season ticket, but they can't forget the passionate community that's much broader than just those people who can afford to give up the time and money to see the games in person. I used to love going to live football games, but now that I'm older I can't afford to give up the time needed to watch them play every weekend (not to mention I live hundreds of miles away from my team). That doesn't mean my loyalty for the team has diminished. Loyalty programs are a way to engage with people without forcing them into the typical—and misrepresented—pinnacle of buying a season ticket, and if done right these programs allow you to learn more about your fans.
Real Time Data Influences Decision Making
Think about Marriott. What happens when I hang their sign on my door? Immediately they're able to say "we've got 24 hangers, so we can cut the hard cost of one housekeeper that night." They win. I win. All good. But then you have to ask if they're recording that information in a database to know that I'm the type of person who would take them up on this offer. Now my customer profile says that not only am I someone who is interested in growing how many points I have, but also that I'm willing to compromise a little bit on my hotel experience. Maybe this means that next time I check into a Marriott, I get two towels instead of three. Or maybe they'll suggest that I take a room with two twin sized beds instead of a single king sized bed, knowing that I'll take advantage in the hopes of racking up another 500 points. All of these small moves add up to a big operational savings for Marriott. More importantly, however, does Marriott start to build a more robust view of who I am as a member, just because I'm hanging something on my door?
There's No Hard Cost In Creating Value With Data
When you think about building the right CRM profile, there's a lot of ways you can do it: You can ask for data, you can trade for data, you can buy that data. What would it mean for your sports organization to have data about my favorite sport, the ages and names of my kids, my shirt size, or my annual household income? Would it be worth giving up a midweek ticket to a non-conference basketball game that you're not going to sell anyway? By giving up nothing in exchange for data that will help you build a profile of your customer, you can then market to them more appropriately. Now that you know I have two kids aged 7 and 4, you're going to understand that selling me a season ticket isn't realistic since I'm not in the life stage to be spending 8 Saturdays every fall watching a game live, but you can market things to me that are more appropriate for the customer profile you've built.
Look For Data Beyond Your Arena
How you build this profile by offering rewards is up to each individual organization. It could be as simple as having someone engage with your team on social media or giving up information to get points in return. That's the environment that sports teams have already created: Give up to get. In a lot of ways, that's how fundraising works in college athletics. You give up money, you get to sit closer, you get to buy away game tickets first. But data itself can start to serve as a currency. You're starting to see sports teams do it, but I would caution that you should look outside of just your venue because you're leaving out 90% of your fans. Expanding your view on when to engage with fans and how to engage with them will ultimately result in generating revenue.
Want some advice? Start looking at these successful loyalty schemes run by big brands and watch how they are evolving their programs. Companies like Nike, Starbucks, and Frank + Oak have been at the forefront of taking advantage of customer loyalty to build robust profiles of their clients. While decreasing hard costs is definitely a great outcome, using loyalty to build a more robust customer profile is an effective way for your team to sell smarter in the long run. I'm sure I'll learn that the next time I check into a Marriott.
Just like all organizations are different, so is everyone's taste in coffee! Let us treat you to your favorite drink and join us for a 20-minute conversation. We'll learn more about you and you'll learn more about us and what we can do for your venue.

No matter how bad I feel for Alphie, this cat is stupid. He was rushed to the emergency room after eating a TV aerial antenna. This is what happened, according to the owner Vanessa Waite:
One night I heard a loud bang and went upstairs to investigate but I assumed Alphie had fallen off the window sill. He seemed okay and was just hiding under the bed. However, during the night he was being sick so the next morning I took him to the PDSA. It wasn't until later that I realised that one of the aerial antennas was missing from my TV.
Fortunately for him, the antenna got in on its smooth, rounded end, not the sharp broken one. Otherwise it would have been fatal, puncturing his internal organs. The veterinary believes that "the kitten had been playing with the antenna and inadvertently swallowed it". Alphie is happily recovering now. Six lives left, you dumbass! [Yahoo UK]

Charlotte Street Foundation identifies the needs and fuels the evolution of an ever-changing multidisciplinary arts ecosystem, acting as its primary provocateur. We cultivate the contemporary, the exceptional, and the unexpected in the practice of artists working in and engaging with the Kansas City Art Community
I was recently published in a literary collection called Desolate Country: We the Poets, United, Against Trump. It was a fast response to the immediate feelings of the (at the time) impending Trump presidency. It's doing quite well on Amazon charts and I hope people continue to buy it as any extra money made from it goes to Planned Parenthood.
My addition to it started my wheels turning over a subject that had been ticking in my brain for a while: that of the power of art/stories as means to social transformation.
If you've spent a little time on art people social media, you've no doubt come across the likes of Neil Gaiman or some equally famous cultural icon saying something about how stories or the arts are "powerful." How they have these powers to reach across a chasm of understanding. How they can join us through a shared understanding.
Frankly, as an artist, I've always disagreed with this opinion. I feel it obscures the real impact of art, while simultaneously flattering the speaker of the idea. It says to the listener, "I one of the important people, am helping you. This is the way I aid the world." At it's worst this idea is cynicism cloaked in aspirational romance, and at best, it is irresponsible naivete'. The power of stories never seems to challenge the current order it reshuffles. The power of art never quite seems to deliver a solid blow to the structures it reflects. Does it?
As far as I can gather -and to be clear, I am no one special. Just some schmo in Kansas City that has lucked his way into a platform- the most powerful reaches of a piece of art is its consumption as a shared experience. At it's most powerful is an ability to unlock an emotional response from a group of people: To inspire a momentary lapse of a singular self. Think of a concert, a good concert has less to do with the performance of the artist after a certain threshold of audience buy-in. When crowds of hundreds or thousands are all singing the same words, the context of that original piece of art transforms to something more potent. There is potency, maybe even a political poignancy, but this isn't power.
At its root, when we speak of art we are speaking of the consumption of a media commodity. No matter how high-minded my ideals when writing a poem, at the end of the day they are something being consumed. In fact, that consumption can even be argued to be the final element of a piece of art within our current context. The viewer or consumer, adds the final pieces of our works real world continuing story. Going to a museum or gallery isn't just the paintings, it's a day spent invested in an evolving narrative element beyond the artist. And while this a series of involved events or emotional responses which may be potent it is not power in a political sense.
Power is simple, we often conflate power with the method of it's wielding. Power, in this context, is the ability one to impose your will. Power is not it's historical significance or precedent, nor is it the emblem of an office. It's force. The imposition of will is always force. Whether it's imposing sanctions on Iran, or striking for a higher wage, it is force.
Art has no force. It has no will. Art is a reflection filtered through the self: an expressed figment. Our shadows leave no footprints and snap no twigs, they have no impact, in fact, they are easily rendered to no definition when something larger of more complex dimensions looms above.
To be clear, this is not a value judgment. Art isn't "bad now" or useless. Especially, not art that attempts to achieve power or more closely, mimics power's wielding. There are limitations. If we are to give our art, our reflection a place to cast itself besides this eroding soil, then we have to couple ourselves to the construction of power. If we are to give our work, these reflections, a place in power, then we must tie our real selves to a vision beyond the current order. Cultural output can be coopted. Che Guevara is a t-shirt and social realism can sell liquor. Paul Ryan's favorite band is Rage Against The Machine. Something of deep meaning can become poison very quickly.
If our current art is a reflection, a shadow within the shadow of those above, then what would the projection of a core humanity look like? What would we craft in the sun? What vision of beauty that is worthy of the physical work that it would entail? Truthfully, I don't know. I don't think any of us do. Which, is why we must be a part of these structures, why we have to be a part of the future, beyond our reflections and filters. We do ourselves no justice reflecting, but I do believe that we can achieve the justice of projection, by bringing ourselves to this fight. There are some things that cannot be achieved with a pen or brush. However, there is much that can be achieved with linked arms and purpose.

Dear Annie: I'm a 38-year-old woman and was widowed a year ago. I have two children, ages 8 and 5. I was happily married to the most wonderful man, but my husband died from complications following surgery. He was 44 and a terrific father and a loving husband.
Dear Annie: I'm a 38-year-old woman and was widowed a year ago. I have two children, ages 8 and 5. I was happily married to the most wonderful man, but my husband died from complications following surgery. He was 44 and a terrific father and a loving husband.
Since my husband's death, my children and I feel robbed of having such a loving person in our lives. I work full time, teach catechism once a week and take care of the children. Every day is such a struggle for me. I'm extremely tired. I have thyroid disease and don't get enough rest. I do get some help from my family — without them, I would be lost. I also take the children to a local grief support program called SandCastles (www.aboutsandcastles.org).
Even though I try to stay strong, especially for the kids, I'm getting burned out. I'm very lonely. My husband was my soul mate. People have tried to tell me to get counseling, but why bother? It won't change anything. It's hard knowing I'm still young and will have to live the rest of my life without my loving companion.
Please tell me there is something to look forward to in life, because right now, I'm really hurting.
— Robbed in Michigan
Dear Michigan: We know the pain seems insurmountable and unending, but life is not static, and things do change and can even get better over time. If grief support is helping your children, why can't it help you? Talking can facilitate healing, especially within a group that understands your loss. Your children deserve a mother who is emotionally whole, so we hope you will make every effort to get the help you need. Please talk to someone at your church about a referral.
Dear Annie: I work in retail. Please tell your readers that it is not OK to lick their fingers and count out money. I've seen both men and women do this.
Why would they think someone would want to touch money that has their spit on it? Is there a polite way to bring up this nasty habit? Or should I just refuse the money?
— I Don't Want It in Kentucky
Dear Kentucky: We don't recommend telling people you don't want their money. They might assume their purchases are free. But we certainly understand why you don't want to handle currency that has someone's saliva on it. Keep a damp sponge handy, and offer it to any customer who starts licking his or her fingers in preparation for touching their cash. And for those customers who think this is the best way to separate your money, please think again.
Dear Annie: As a public school teacher, I regularly encounter families like the neighbors in the letter from "Bullied in the 'Burbs." While you correctly suggested the family contact the police, it's not enough.
With each demonstration of crude harassment, the family needs to smile, wave and document, document, document! If possible, they should have a video of every instance of the neighbors behaving poorly. A written log detailing the time and place of the harassment alongside photographs and video will provide documentation that will stand up in court.
In the meantime, that young family being bullied has to be extremely careful not to provide an opening for the harassment. They should go about their daily business as usual, making sure to be extremely polite to the neighbors at all times while going for the legal jugular.
— Western Teacher
Dear Teacher: Thanks for the excellent suggestions. Documenting instances of harassment can be very useful when you need to take legal action, and the ubiquitousness of video and cell phone cameras makes it easier to do.
Please e-mail your questions for Annie to email@example.com, or write to: Annie's Mailbox, P.O. Box 118190, Chicago, IL 60611.

Idea: Warm up new audiences (cold leads) using content in your Facebook ads before you attempt to sell them.
Details: Often, the reason marketers target cold leads with straightforward sales offers is that they simply don't have enough warm leads to target. There's a huge unfilled gap between the cold leads and warm leads. You can fill this gap by using the combination of content marketing and Facebook ads.
Instead of jumping in with a salesy offer right away, start slowly and share valuable content with your Facebook target audiences. For example, Moz plays the long game and publishes 10x content about the latest SEO tactics. Slowly but surely, cold leads start to perceive them as a leading expert in the field of SEO, turning new leads into customers.
According to an article on Facebook blog promotions on Content Marketing Institute, here's the best publishing plan for promoting blog content on Facebook:
Tip: You can use a single Facebook page post across multiple ad campaigns, so that all the social proof (likes and shares) will show under a single ad.

Experts weigh-in on future of media, impact of mobile devices
Chris Hogg
Aug 18, 2010 in
- Twitter, Facebook and real-time apps have changed how news outlets cover today's stories. Next in line to revamp media are mobile platforms. Will the smartphone become the next-gen newspaper?
According to market analysts Gartner, smartphones
now make up
nearly 20 percent of all phones sold.
The marketplace is also changing, with Google and Apple emerging as dominant players in the smartphone industry.
On the whole, sales of mobile phones rose 13.8 percent to 326 million units in the second quarter, Reuters
. Sales of smartphones rose by 50 percent.
With such major growth in mobile, news organizations now find themselves with a big opportunity to reach readers in new places. According to industry experts, mobile handsets also provide media organizations with the opportunity to engage audiences in new ways.
Kunal Gupta, CEO, Polar Mobile

"Media organizations know mobile platforms are inherently social platforms that are used for consumption but also for contribution and re-syndication of their content," Kunal Gupta, CEO of
Polar Mobile
said in an interview with DigitalJournal.com. "This is a good thing. It means media companies are paying close attention to what happens after their stories are published and to how people consume and share their content. They recognize that publishing is only the first step in the lifeline of a story."
As the head of Polar Mobile, Gupta is plugged into the mobile world, especially where it intersects with media. He leads a growing business that develops applications for news organizations to grow audiences and open new revenue streams.
"In the most recent years, news organizations have recognized the growing trend in mobile news consumption and have seen these results in the quickly growing proportion of visits to their digital destinations from mobile devices," said Gupta. "However, as we are still in the early phase of mobile, the profits to be made from mobile do not yet seriously rival the profits from their primary website and so most organizations are not paying attention to the opportunities that a mobile presence can offer."
As a mobile expert, Gupta is often invited to speak at conferences and consult businesses on mobile strategies. His next big appearance will fall on Sept. 8 in Toronto: Gupta is one of five industry leaders invited to speak at the
Future of Media
. The free event, hosted by
Digital Journal
, invites leading companies to take to the stage to discuss and debate the future of media as part of a panel and Q&A session with audience members. Now in its second year, the
Future of Media
event is widely attended by media executives, entrepreneurs, mobile and social media experts, as well as journalists, PR reps and bloggers.
The mobile handset industry has perhaps had its biggest impact on social media; with Internet-enabled devices that can be carried everywhere, more people are turning to their social networks to engage and create content.
According to comScore
, almost 75 percent of global Web users access social media sites every month.
The world's largest social network, Facebook, has seen its numbers climb dramatically. The site
it has more than 500 million members, half of whom log in daily.
In 2010 Facebook launched a site called "Facebook Stories"

"There will always be certain domains of news media that will be long-form, deliberate and out of reach of the publishing masses," said Gupta. "However, even for these news stories, discovery and distribution will count on social networks where people trust their connections to surface content worth seeing."
From a mobile standpoint, Facebook has more than 150 million active users who use the site on a mobile device. Mobile users are also twice as active on Facebook than non-mobile users.
"Social media and news media have effectively merged into one continuum," said Gupta. "In a world where the likes of Twitter, Facebook, email and mobile messaging services such as SMS connect people in real-time, most people can't imagine having to wait more than a day or so to receive their updates. The advent of social media broke the monopoly news media held on story-telling and has turned every consumer into a potential publisher offering much more timely access to certain types of stories."
Twitter has also had a tremendous impact on media. According to
, 93 million Web users went to
from work or home computers in June and the company's Latin American user base grew by 305 percent to 15.4 million users. That doesn't include the millions of people who access Twitter through third-party software such as Tweetdeck or mobile apps.

"Twitter has probably had the biggest impact on the news because it has made it easy for anyone to not become a reporter but do it quickly and in real-time," marketing and social media strategist Mark Evans said in an interview with DigitalJournal.com. " This has changed the dynamic of news reporting, and the definition of the content of news given Twitter 'reports' are 140 characters or less."
Evans is an award-winning journalist who went on to found three Internet start-ups and a digital marketing, communications and social media consulting firm called
ME Consulting
. He's also a co-founder of the
MESH conference
"It's important to explore the intersection of social media and traditional media because because of the major structural changes that have happened over the past five years," said Evans. "Social media has democratized the creation and distribution of news, destroying the tight grip that traditional media had for decades. At the same time, social media has hammered the financial underpinnings of traditional media, forcing the major players to restructure to compete and remain viable."
A familiar face at all start-up, digital media and Web conferences, Evans will also be speaking at the
Future of Media
in Toronto on Sept. 8.
"It has taken time but news organizations are finally embracing social media rather than fighting it," said Evans. "Many reporters are now using social media tool to report and gather information, and news organizations are using Twitter, blogs and video to publish and distribute content."
Evans says the biggest challenge facing news organizations in using social media is how the tone and approach is different compared to traditional workflow. He says social media is "fast, furious and not as formal or objective as traditional news."
When it comes to harnessing the power of mobile platforms and social news, Gupta offers this advice: "No single organization has the secret code to dominating the mobile market, but publishers need to make their content available to mobile users cross-platform. So far, the best experiences are delivered by native applications, but with each generation of innovation, entirely new opportunities will present themselves to create value for content consumers.

I love the photos of Tristan and your family. Thank you so much for sharing with us all.
Hi. I admire your strength and I hope I can be as strong as you. My baby is due may 27 th and he has a similar problem. Will I ever be prepared for this? By the way Tristan is so beautiful.
I stumbled upon your post as I search aortic atresia from time to time. about 4 month before your angel went to heaven, mine did as well. Maddox was here for 10 hours yet he spent most of it in the icu and on a plane being lifeflighted to atlanta ( where he died)…as his defect was not detected until he was born and he immediatly turned blue and stopped breathing….
You are very strong.. I am coming up on Maddox's one year.. June 28th…it still hurts but its a different kind of hurt now. Feel free to write me if you need to chat. I live in Savannah, Georgia and I am a entertainment reporter and news anchor for FOX and ABC so my story was pretty public here.. stay strong ! =-)
I found your blog while searching for clues on how to get through a pregnancy. My daughter was diagnosed at 20 weeks with aortic atresia. I am now only 24 weeks along and the journey is so heartbreaking. I still break down at least once a day. How did you survive the pregnancy? I would appreciate any advice you have.

Unlock in Confidence with doctorSIM | Excellent Trust Pilot Rating | No hidden fees | Full Money back Guarantee
Precisely what is Plum Geo phone unlocking ?
The majority of carriers lock their phones to their network, preventing you from using your phone on any other networks. Essentially , they want to retain your business as the phone is only going to work solely on their Network. Phone unlocking is a method of taking out the Network lock from the phone.

Note: An un-locked 2G phone will never accept a 3G simcard. However an unlocked 3G phone will accept and work with a 2G handset. 3G handsets have reverse compatibility which allows them to recognize and operate with a 2G simcard However, an unlocked 2G handset is not able to recognise the more modern 3G/4G sim card technology.
Is Plum Geo unlocking illegal?
In great britain unlocking your Plum Geo phone is perfectly legal but unblocking a Plum Geo phone which was reported lost or stolen is illegal. In America as outlined by a ruling on the 28th October 2012 , means that it is illegal to unlock phones bought 90 days after this date without the carrier's approval.

Mystery over death of Alaska Airlines pilot found off 5 Freeway
Alaska Airlines released a statement Wednesday saying the company was "deeply saddened" by the death of a 55-year-old veteran pilot who was found dead along an off-ramp of the 5 Freeway in Burbank.
The man, Lee Clifford Morris of Richland, Wash., was a 26-year, highly respected pilot for the airline, Gary Beck, vice president of flight operations for Alaska, said in the statement.
Morris landed at Bob Hope Airport on Monday and was scheduled to fly out Tuesday morning 7, but didn't report to work, Alaska Airlines spokesman Paul McElroy said.
"That's very unusual," he said. "That's why we immediately contacted the hotel, then later, had to reach out to law enforcement."
Morris' body was discovered that evening along the Scott Road off-ramp of the southbound I-5.
"We are deeply saddened by the loss of Capt. Morris," Beck said. "Our thoughts and prayers go out to Lee's fiancee and other loved ones. He will be greatly missed by fellow pilots and all employees of Alaska."
Morris was pronounced dead at the scene after paramedics responded at 5:55 p.m. He had been staying at a hotel near the airport, police said.
There were no obvious signs of injury — no gunshot or stab wounds, and no evidence Morris had been struck by a car. His wallet and identification were also with him, indicating that robbery was probably not a motive, according to police.
"But due to the location, we're treating it as a suspicious death," Burbank Police Sgt. Darin Ryburn said.
All Alaska Airlines captains undergo a physical exam twice a year, McElroy said.
"They're not allowed to fly if they don't pass that medical," he said. "As far as we know he was in good health. Again, we just don't know what the cause of death was and aren't speculating."
Burbank police are in the process of interviewing Morris' crew members and co-workers.
Meanwhile, an autopsy by Los Angeles County coroner's officials was likely to be completed on Thursday, Ryburn said.
Morris had been engaged to be married at the time of this death.
"They're pretty shaken as you can imagine," McElroy said of his family.
Police urged anyone who may have been driving through the area Monday or Tuesday to call detectives at (818) 238-3210.

#Official Commentary of Vladimir Bidyovka on Hillary Clinton's ties with terrorists
Perhaps never before in US history, a candidate for the highest state post has been accused of treason, but times change, and the presidential candidates are changing along with them. Once everything happens for the first time. Elections of 2016 will forever enter American history, because for the first time the most likely winner of the presidential race was charged with treason during them. And not by any journalists or marginal politics, but by current US Congressman.
The Chairman of the House Committee on Homeland Security Michael McCaul accused Hillary Clinton, the presidential candidate from the Democratic Party, – neither more nor less, – of treason. Referring to the FBI director James Comey, who assumed that the enemies of the United States got access to classified information through Clinton's personal server, the Congressman said: "She exposed it to our enemies, and now… our adversaries have this very sensitive information that not only jeopardizes her and national security at home, but the men and women serving overseas. In my opinion, quite frankly, it's treason."
Treason is a serious charge for America, where usually the voters change their preferences, depending on the libido of the presidential candidate. Trump's statements about women, spoken by him a long time ago in a narrow circle of men, almost destroyed his positive image in the eyes of ordinary Americans. But even that didn't manage to overshadow the accusations of treason.
However, if all of that and stop there. Treason is not the only thing that Hillary Clinton is charged with. She is even accused of having connections with terrorists. This is also serious for America, which 15 years ago survived the horrific terrorist attacks in New York and Washington. Clinton is accused of having links with the Al-Qaeda itself, which organized air attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.
Huma Abedin, the right hand of the Democratic candidate, has served as a link between Hillary Clinton and the Al-Qaeda. But the accusation of having links with terrorists began in quite American way. Huma Abedin's husband Anthony Weiner got burned out on a sex scandal – piquant communications with 15-year-old girl. Soon it was not him who became the object of attention, but his wife Huma – the second person in the campaign headquarters of Hillary, and a little earlier – the second person among her aides at the State Department, and even earlier – the second person in the state of Senator Clinton.
Huma was born in America, which automatically makes her a citizen of the United States, but at an early age her parents took her away to Saudi Arabia, where she received the appropriate education. "The first," writes a political commentator Dmitry Kosyrev, "Huma's father was the head of the Institute for Religious Minorities, established by the Saudi Government, mother was his father's assistant, Huma herself, again, was the second assistant. The formal purpose of the institute is to disseminate around Islamic world a certain ideology and principles of behaviour of a Muslim, wherever he is. Second, a board member of the Institute – Abdullah Omar Nassif, founder of the "Rabita Trust", known by the fact that it directly financed Bin Laden and "Al Qaeda" just before the attack on America on September 11, 2001."
The resumption of the FBI investigation into the case on the use of Clinton's personal server for official correspondence caused a bombshell just five days before the election. Besides, counterintelligence took under special control the case concerning Clinton family's fund, and it is likely that Hillary could face prosecution.
But not only 650 thousand emails from the personal server spoil the life of the candidate from the Democrats. The way they were found causes a lot of questions as well. They were found in the computer Huma Abedin's horny husband, but she denied the very existence of this computer, denied under oath, and this is a serious offense.
"When the FBI demanded all the information about the e-mail Hillary Clinton, they interviewed this woman, Huma Abedin. And she said: "I have had such devices, such tablets, such phones, such computers." This computer she did not mention. Therefore, Clinton's campaign cannot blame the FBI that they have been hiding something from someone. It is, on the contrary, the assistant of Hillary Clinton hid this information from the FBI," president of The Center for the National Interest Dimitri Simes said.
Trail of Hillary Clinton's cooperation with terrorists stretches from "Al Qaeda" to "Islamic state". Chief Editor of WikiLeaks Julian Assange said that Saudi Arabia is directly sponsoring the IS. "Here's an early 2014 email," Assange says, "from Hillary Clinton, so not so long after she left Secretary of State, to her campaign manager John Podesta. That email, it states that ISIL, ISIS is funded by Saudi Arabia and Qatar – the governments of Saudi Arabia and Qatar. Now, this is a… I actually think this is the most significant email in the whole collection…"
Let me remind you that the Gulf monarchies made major contributions to the fund, controlled by the family of Clinton, and at a time when Hillary headed the Foreign Ministry of the USA, the biggest deal for the sale of American weapons to the Saudis in excess of $80 billion was signed. It says only one thing: ISIS was created on the money of the people who sponsor the Clinton fund, respectively, Hillary is closely connected with the main sponsors of international terrorism.
Treason and liaison with the terrorists – this is something new in the United States presidential race. Another presidential candidate, Republican Donald Trump, in his characteristic manner quipped: "Well, what a fuss! Since the days of Watergate, there was no such a scandal! The FBI is now investigation the entire Hillary's inner circle and its activities for many years. If she is elected to be president, the government wouldn't be able work, because she will spend her entire term in office dragged through the courts, and then she'll be sentenced and imprisoned."
By the way, according to Barack Obama, Trump was removed from the conduct of his page on Twitter for "Republican temperament." And at the same time, questions for Trump for an interview with CNN were consistent with the Democratic Party. This proves once again how stained this presidential race is.
We shall see how it goes in reality. There's little time to wait now. But the one thing is clear now: everything happens for the first time at some point, even accusations of treason and ties with terrorists, and even in America.
Vladimir Bidyovka, the DPR People's Council deputy
