HEERENVEEN, the Netherlands – Jeremy Wotherspoon of Red Deer, Alta., won the gold medal in the men's 500-metres and clinched the season crown at the distance on Friday before a sellout crowd of 10,000 at the long track speed skating World Cup final.
Denny Morrison of Fort St. John, B.C., added a silver in the 1,500.
Wotherspoon clocked 34.82 seconds only 0.01 seconds off his track record set earlier this season. Joji Kato of Japan was second at 34.84 and Kyou-Hyuk Lee of South Korea third at 34.99.
''My race had a lot of strong points,'' said Wotherspoon the career leader for World Cup victories in men's competition at 66. ''It's a great way to start the weekend.''
Mike Ireland of Winnipeg was seventh, Vincent Labrie of St-Romuald, Que., 12th and Denny Morrison of Fort St. John, B.C., 17th.

''Overall it was definitely a good season for me in the 500,'' said Wotherspoon, who will pocket $14,000 U.S., as the World Cup champion. He has won an astounding 13 World Cup season titles in his career. ''I didn't know exactly how things would go after taking last season off. It feels good to come back and have things go this well. The key for me this season was very specific training which helped me to accelerate quickly and be comfortable at top speed.''
In the men's 1,500, Shani Davis of the U.S., won the gold and World Cup distance title clocking 1:45.25. Morrison was second in 1:45.51 and Enrico Fabris of Italy third in 1:45.53. Morrison faced a tough pair in crowd favourite and all around world champion Sven Kramer of the Netherlands. Kramer was fourth in 1:45.87.
''It was an incredible race for Denny,'' said Morrison's coach Marcel Lacroix. ''He wasn't bothered by the crowd and followed his race plan to a tee. It was really solid. Denny's been very consistent this season and that's something he's been striving for.''
Arne Dankers of Calgary was 11th and François-Olivier Roberge of St-Nicolas, Que., 21st.
In the women's 500, Jenny Wolf of Germany already had the World Cup season title locked up but still won for the 11th time in 13 races. Shannon Rempel of Winnipeg was 15th, Kerry Simpson of Melville, Sask., 16th and Tamara Oudenaarden of Edmonton 18th.
In the women's 3,000, Martina Sablikova of the Czech Republic was the victor in 4:03.75 and is the World Cup champion at the distance. Kristina Groves of Ottawa was seventh.
Competition continues through to Sunday.

The Necessary and Long Overdue Re-invention of 'Center Store'
By Mark Heckman / June 2017Insights
Most of us would agree that over the past twenty years the lion's share of the focus and creativity within the supermarket has occurred on the perimeter of store. This is true for a number of reasons. Retailers have deliberately placed their fresh foods departments on the perimeter to be close to prep rooms and refrigeration. In addition, the majority of the store's best deals reside on end cap displays on the back and front aisles of the store.
This all made a lot of sense until it was discovered that over time, fewer and fewer shoppers were entering the "center" area of the store and consequently, the categories and items found in this forgotten area were beginning to suffer from the resulting under exposure.
Understandably, for the past decade or more, retailers and their brand partners have frantically worked to devise new incentives to lure the shopper from their current behavior of remaining on the perimeter to venture down the long and arduous aisles of Center Store.
Some of their efforts have paid dividends, but despite new 'intrusive" signage, fixtures and fixture configurations, Center Store is still very much under siege. While gains in Dairy, Frozen and Salty Snacks are encouraging, the majority of the remaining Center Store categories have seen sharp decreases in unit sales and in some cases as much as three to five percent over the past five years*
Further, the driving forces behind Center Store decline are largely out of the control of bricks and mortar retailers. For example;
- Smaller household sizes yield fewer stock-up trips, meaning fewer trips down the center aisles of the store.
- New Competition, in the form of smaller specialty stores, sometimes called 'category killers' have diluted the sales of supermarket Center Stores over the past decade, with more of this type of competition to come.
- Finally, shoppers have found that buying those Center Store items consumed on a regular basis such as baby products, pet food, water and beverages, paper and detergent can be conveniently purchased on-line and scheduled for home delivery.
This downward trend of Center Store performance begs several questions, chief among them is "Can Center Store survive without radical changes?"
If you believe as many do that the answer is an emphatic "NO", then the next logical question must focus on what should and what can be done. The true transformation of Center Store should begin with an honest assessment of the controllable factors that are attributing to its diminished shopper relevance.
From the shopper's view, research and intuition tell us that today's Center Store presents a number of negative issues;
- Configuration: Long aisles within Center Store are uninviting to shoppers as they look down the aisle from the perimeter and quickly become visually overwhelmed.
- Item Count: Once down the aisle, there are too many items crowded into tight category sets that make it difficult to find items. Variety is good, but too much variety suppresses sales.
- Visual Clutter: Overuse of large signs, shelf tags and other point of sale materials clutter the shopper's view even more. In an attempt to make things better for the shopper, retailers are providing a busy shopper too much to read and absorb.
- Size: Many Center Stores simply occupy too much floor space and are counter-efficient, consuming too much of shopper's precious time in order to find what they are looking for. 'Bigger' has become an albatross, rather than the panacea retailers once regarded it to be.
From the shopper's perspective the entire physical concept of 'Center Store" is becoming 'unnatural' when compared to their experiences either on-line or in smaller specialty stores.
Most recent remedial solutions for Center Store deal with making ad hoc changes to category variety, new fixtures, additional signs and of late, new technology such as in-aisle digital engagement through mobile devices. Few if any however, deal with seriously re-thinking the entire concept of Center Store.
Re-categorize According to How Shoppers Buy
Any serious improvement to Center Store must involve the mitigating the four aforementioned negative attributes. A logical first step in that process involves a re-categorization of Center Store, from the contemporary shopper's perspective.
The adjacent chart depicts four quadrants of Center Store items that reflect current shopper behavior and options.
- Quadrant 1: Those Top Selling items that are consumed by most of the shoppers for everyday consumption comprise a very important list of categories and items. This group typically includes the retailer's list of top 300-500 selling items. Sometimes referred to as the 'Big Head' these are the items that the contemporary shopper must have easy access to, without searching and wandering thorough the Center Store to find. Top Sellers should be accessible in this quadrant, even if only through secondary display.
- Quadrant 2: The second category of items is a subset of the first. This group contains the permanent shelf placement of Top Selling items that lend themselves to scheduled consumption. Paper Towels, Bathroom Tissue, Bottled Water, Pet Food, Diapers and others are all conducive to having their in-store inventory and space they occupy reduced as shoppers are incentivized to schedule their delivery at home or for in-store pickup (BOPIS).
- Quadrant 3: This leaves the slower moving items, which unfortunately comprise the vast majority of Center Store inventory. As opposed to the 'Big Head', these items represent the 'Long Tail' and their presence in store should be reevaluated. Quadrant 3 contains those Infrequent Selling items that have High Affinity with Top Selling (Immediate Use) items, meaning that these items are often bought with Top Selling (Immediate Use) items. These sku's should be stocked in-store, but aggressively merchandised via secondary display with those fast-selling items with which they have affinity.
- Quadrant 4: This group contains items that most food retailers stock either because brand partners pay them to do so or retailers believe they must carry deep variety in a particular category. In today's shopper centric environment, these are the items that make viable candidates for removing from the in-store shelves, de-listing those that show little or no movement, but keeping others that have seasonal value or index higher among the retailer's best shoppers. In order to necessarily reduce item count, many of these slow moving 'keepers' would no longer be stocked in the store's showroom, rather be available via on-line or in-store kiosk purchase only.
Where to Put What
As monumental of an endeavor as the re-categorization of the Center Store will be for bricks and mortar retailers, dealing with the size and configuration of Center Store will even be a larger challenge. Of those leading bricks and mortar food retailers are designing and build smaller formats. Within these smaller stores, the process of re-thinking which items are kept and which is discarded is critical.
The adjacent graphic illustrates the beginning of the re-organization of Center Store. Notice that each of the four Center Store Quadrants are contained within this layout as well as multiple opportunities for shoppers to pre-order in-store for immediate consumption or simply pick up to take home.
What is also note worthy is the placement of Top Selling-Immediate Use items positioned where shoppers can more easily access them coupled with the placement of Top Selling-Scheduled Use items being available closer to the kiosks where they can also be ordered for regular delivery.
As opposed to long aisles with multiple categories, this approach compartmentalizes items according to their relevance to the shopper and how they would likely prioritize placing them into their shopping cart. With this approach there is no 'racetrack' around the store's perimeter, but rather a natural flow from one shopping 'priority' area to the next.
Perhaps the most critical aspect of this approach is the tangible merging of Center Store with On-line. While reducing inventory and clutter, the retailer offers the shopper an easy and practical means to access additional items via kiosks for either same trip pick up or delivery to the home or office.
Shopper Logic
Finally, this new configuration of Center Store categories also serves the needs of traditional types of shopping trips, Quick Trip, Fill-In, Stock Up. Contrary to most current supermarket layouts, this approach facilitates a quick trip when one is warranted, but also efficiently accommodates larger trip sizes when shopper's needs change.
Any approach to keeping Center Store categories viable within the bricks mortar store must be in context to the many options of convenient alternatives now available to shoppers. While very basic, this approach represents leveraging shopper behavior data to re-think and reconfigure a vital part of the supermarket that most would agree is in need of updating and in a way that actually makes sense for the shopper.

Last year Alyssa Bursott, then a junior at West Central High School in Hartford, SD, was awarded the Emperor Science Award. Sponsored in part by PBS LearningMedia, the award provides opportunities for 10th and 11th graders to work alongside a university-level mentoring scientist to explore careers in science and become part of the next generation of cancer researchers.
Alyssa lost her father to cancer and that experience looms large in her desire to become a neuroscientist. (See "Hartford, SD Student Awarded Opportunity to Study Cancer Research.")
SDPB, PBS LearningMedia, and Stand Up To Cancer (SU2C) are again calling for applications for the second year of The Emperor Science Award program in South Dakota. Entry is open to 10th and 11th grade students in South Dakota who have a strong scientific interest, especially in cancer research and care. Students from all socio-economic backgrounds are encouraged to apply. Entries will be accepted now through March 17, 2017, 11:59 pm ET. at The Emperor Science Award website.
SDPB followed up with Alyssa about her experience resulting from winning the Emperor Science Award. Finances prevented Alyssa from job-shadowing her mentor, Dr. Angela Ozburn a behavioral neuroscience researcher at the Portland, Oregon VA Health Care System, but Alyssa and Dr. Ozburn made it work virtually.
SDPB: What did your research entail?
Alyssa Bursott: "I researched the topics of circadian rhythms and alcohol use disorder and how AUDs affect circadian rhythms.
SDPB: What does that entail? Can you put it in "laypeople" terms?
Essentially, certain genes control your circadian rhythms, the 24-hour cycle that controls sleep/wake patterns and metabolism. Studies have shown that certain mutations of these genes are associated with alcohol abuse. Also, other studies have shown that chronic alcohol abuse affects circadian rhythms by throwing off the cycle, so to speak.
Since I was unable to work in a lab, I worked on a research paper regarding the topic. Dr. Ozburn and I felt that this would be the most beneficial way to spend my time because of the distance between us. I think this was a great choice because I learned what a research paper entails, and I learned a great deal about the topic. For the most part, I spent my time reading medical journals about the topics. I would then use the information I learned to piece together my paper.
We started in early January of 2016, and I was pretty busy at that time. Most of my project took place from April through June, but we were in contact often throughout the beginning of school this year. Dr. Ozburn has become my go-to person on anything career or college related. I emailed her a lot, and we were also able to use Google Hangouts to chat in a Skype-like setting. Honestly, it was hard to get used to, but the communication was still very beneficial."
SDPB: What was the experience like? What do you feel like you learned?
AB: "It was a unique experience, and I didn't like it at first. I didn't like not being able to work with Dr. Ozburn in person, but I think I got way more out of the experience by being uncomfortable. I learned how to communicate via email. Often times it's very hard to explain thoughts in a detailed message, but that was exactly what I learned to do. Obviously I learned how to research, but I learned a lot about other important work aspects, too: diligence, communication, work ethic, organization, and perseverance. There were times where I wanted to give up on the project because I didn't understand what I was doing, but I learned from that. I learned to push forward, and I got the result that I wanted. I wouldn't have been successful without Dr. Ozburn keeping me in line."
SDPB: How was the experience different from learning science in high school? Was it more real world?
AB: "This application of science in the real world allowed me to fully understand what I was talking about. I comprehend the subjects better. With high school coursework, even when I don't understand what I'm doing, I can still answer things correctly. With my research, I HAD to understand every aspect of what I was talking about.
Honestly, there isn't a single thing I can think of that was not amazing. Dr. Ozburn is the best mentor I have ever had. She was so patient with me in the beginning. I was pretty bull-headed with my ideas when I started, but Dr. Ozburn managed to retrain my way of thinking. She broadened my perspective on not just the medical research community, but also in my everyday life. Another thing I really appreciated was her commitment to her job. I have always been a driven person, but she really set the bar high for me. I think that teaching me how to be a professional while treating me with kindness and respect was the most important, and Dr. Ozburn accomplished this flawlessly."
SDPB: How has the Emperor Science Award impacted you in other ways?
AB: "This award blessed me with the opportunity to become exposed to medical research. As a result of this exposure, I have been able to earn an internship position at Sanford Research Center in Sioux Falls for this semester. Last semester, I was an intern at Avera McKennan Hospital. On the academic side of things, I was able to apply for numerous honors programs for college, some of which could lead to research opportunities in college. These opportunities are amazing because they involve everything that I've worked to achieve, and my experiences from the award have helped me tremendously. The exposure came from the project itself. Also, because I had the opportunity to participate in the award, I was able to get into a research internship at Sanford. I probably wouldn't have been able to do this without my experience with the Emperor Science Award."
SDPB: What are you currently interested in, science-wise? Do you still want to be a neuroscientist?
AB: "Currently, I plan to become either a surgeon or a forensic pathologist. I would love to do further research, especially in neuroscience, but I do not plan on making that my career."
SDPB: Have you solidified plans for college yet?
AB: "I have. I will be attending Creighton University in Omaha to major in Neuroscience and Pre-Medical Studies. After that, I hope to be accepted into Creighton's medical school and continue my education."
SDPB: Would you encourage other South Dakota high school students to apply for the Emperor Science Award?
AB: "I would encourage others to apply for this award because the opportunity is worth taking advantage of. Never in a million years did I plan on winning an award that would allow me to pursue my dreams, but it happened. Many people my age think that they are not good enough to earn great things. That is not true. If students seek out the opportunities that are knocking on their door, they will be successful beyond their wildest dreams."
SDPB: What more would you like to tell us about this experience?
AB: "I would like to thank my mom for helping me navigate the tricky paths involved with making college and career decisions. She is always there for me, and she has allowed me to make my own decisions. I would not be the person I am without her guidance. I would also like to thank my teachers and my friends who have encouraged me to follow my dreams. Finally, I owe my dad a great deal. His death could have destroyed me, but it built me into a person that I am proud to be."
Emperor Science Award
South Dakota students, teachers, guidance counselors, administrators and parents can visit The Emperor Science Award website (www.EmperorScienceAward.com) to learn more about the program and to apply. The webpage contains an overview of the program and associated resources for students and educators. To enter, students will be asked to complete an application and submit a 750 maximum word essay on the following topic:
"Cancer has been referred to as 'The Emperor of All Maladies' and millions of people around the world are looking for a cure. In America, more than 1,600 people die each day. Tell us why scientific research is so important in helping to find a cure for cancer. And if you could be a scientific researcher, what would you study and why?"
Essays will be judged on sincerity, creativity, clarity and persuasiveness.
Winning students will be connected with science mentors from a host of high-profile medical research centers, including more than 100 SU2C-affiliated institutions, universities and industry leaders in cancer diagnosis and treatment.

A Laughter Club That Rocks!
Let us begin with a story about the club that appeared in the Hindustan Times. Here it is:
By Amrita U Kadam, email@example.com
INDORE: For the last 104 weeks, the residents near Suniket park Saket have been looking forward to waking up early on Sundays for the laughter get- together. Neither rain nor cold or heat have interrupted these sessions as Suniket Laughter Club completed two years on October 17.
With the crème de- la crème of Indore opting for this lighter way of exercise, the club has become a close knit family with over 40 permanent members, including income tax officers, managers, builders, industrialists, businessmen, school principals and their kin.
Certified laughter yoga professors, assistant general manager (training), of SBI Jagat Singh Bisht and his wife Radhika Bisht started the club for the residents of the Suniket apartment.
Later, as the word spread, people started joining from the other areas as well. We now have people coming from all parts of the city. Nearly 30- 40 members come every Sunday. In fact the punctuality of this club is what makes it stand apart, says Jagat who has plans to cut the laughter cake on Sunday to mark the clubs birthday.
As the family grew, the members did not limit the meetings to laughter exercises only but also began sharing the happy moments. A few of our members have opened new businesses in the city. They invite the club members on such occasions. We visit their families during a fest, says Jagat. He adds that laughter yoga helps in relieving stress and the members have seen a change in their way of working, their take on their routine activities and now feel healthy, both physically and mentally.
This year, the club members would have a special laughter session during which they would celebrate with its members aged between 3 to 90 years.
We have members of all age groups. We have grandparents, grandchildren coming together and many working class people and housewives, says Jagat.
The female club members also have yoga sessions everyday with Radhika and then have a get together on the last Friday of every month.
Our club believes in spreading happiness. Most importantly these members have been attached with us for a long time for they have felt the benefits of laugher yoga and hence the number of members has been increasing ever since its inception, Jagat added.
(Courtesy: Hindustan Times, Indore, 21st October 2012)
This story is superbly done and almost covers what we would have wanted to share on this occasion. We are, however, tempted to share something more about our club:
We stick to the basics of Laughter Yoga, begin and finish sessions on time, and add a couple of new laughter exercises picked-up from all over the world every week to our repertoire. We include a lot of follow-the-leader and singing-dancing-playing and laughter. We devote time to create new laughter exercises from time to time.
The highlights of our club include:
- One week laughter meditation camp
- Personality Development Thru Fun workshop for children
- Celebration of World Laughter Day
- Visit of Laughter Leaders from Eltham Laughter Club, Australia under Laughter Yoga Exchange Programme
- Visit of Gulyora Shermatova, Certified Laughter Yoga Teacher from Tashkent under Laughter Yoga Exchange Programme
Celebration of birthday of club
- Yoga and Laughter Yoga for ladies (Monday-Friday)
- 3 certified laughter yoga teachers and more than a dozen certified laughter yoga leaders among our club members
On this occasion we would like to express our gratitude to Dr Madan Kataria, founder of laughter clubs movement, for encouraging us on a regular basis. Many laughter teachers and leaders from all over the world appreciate our efforts from time to time and inspire us by their brilliant work. Last but not the least, we thank all our members and laughter lovers of Indore who have contributed to the success story of our club.
Suniket Laughter Club rocks!

Isis Cyclists have run bike rides for women in Oxford since June 2008. Our aim is to encourage non-cyclists to get back on their bikes and commuters to enjoy leisure cycling – as a step towards health, having fun and meeting new people. Rides are led by experienced and knowledgeable members of Cycling UK and use the best of the city's cycle paths and quiet lanes, heading towards greenery wherever possible.
Rides of a variety of lengths — from 5 to 30 miles — take place each month, from a variety of start locations. In addition to our regular short, mid-length and long rides, we also run 'impromptus' – such as evening jaunts, mixed socials (when you can bring male friends and family along), picnics, charity rides and longer rides which link up with the Oxford City Cycling UK group.
The rides programme is posted on our website along with useful tips about riding in a group. You can also join our mailing list, ask questions about the group, or join our Facebook group. There is no charge and rides are taken at a gentle pace to maintain group cohesion. Any bike will do as long as it's roadworthy! Just pump up your tyres, and bring a drink and a spare inner tube (in case of a puncture which we can help to fix).

Home Bancshares, Inc. (Conway, AR) (NASDAQ:HOMB) Q4 2019 Earnings Conference Call - Final Transcript
Jan 16, 2020 • 02:00 pm ET
Loading Event
Loading Transcript
Greetings, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to the Home BancShares Incorporated Fourth Quarter 2019 Earnings Call. The purpose of this call is to discuss the information and data provided in the quarterly earnings release issued this morning. The Company presenters will begin with prepared remarks, then entertain questions. [Operator Instructions]
The Company has asked me to remind everyone to refer to their cautionary note regarding forward-looking statements. You will find this note on Page 3 of their Form 10-K filed with the SEC in February 2019. At this time, all participants are in a listen-only mode and this conference is being recorded. [Operator Instructions]
It is now my pleasure to turn the call over to Donna Townsell, Director of Investor Relations.
Donna J. Townsell
Thank you, Allie. Welcome everyone to the Home BancShares 2019 fourth quarter earnings release and year-end conference call. I'm Donna Townsell, Director of Investor Relations and on behalf of the Home team, I would like to thank you for your continued support and interest in our Company.
Today you will hear from Brian Davis, our Chief Financial Officer; Chris Poulton, President of CCFG; John Marshall, President of Shore Premier Finance; Tracy French, our President and CEO of Centennial Bank; Stephen Tipton, our Chief Operating Officer of Centennial Bank and wrapping up the comments will be our Founder and Chairman, John Allison. Also with us today is Kevin Hester, our Chief Lending Officer and Jennifer Floyd.
Home BancShares' fourth quarter was the best of the year. It was the fourth consecutive quarter of earnings improvement for the year, a beat on both EPS and revenue. Coupled with the best-in-class asset quality, it resulted in $167.8 million in revenue, a 1.94% ROA and $0.44 EPS; what a great way to end the decade.
With that opening headline, I'd now like to turn the call over to Brian Davis to share some information with you about our NIM.
Brian S. Davis
Thanks, Donna. The fourth quarter was another solid quarter for our net interest income and net interest margin. On a tax equivalent basis we recorded net interest income of $141.1 million for Q4 2019, compared to $144.2 million for Q3 2019. The fourth quarter net interest margin was 4.24% compared to 4.32% for the third quarter.
Next I want to give you some color on the 8 basis point decline in margin. First, during 2019 the interest rate environment began to decline. This decline has increased the prepayment speeds on our investment security portfolio. As a result, during the fourth quarter we experienced an increase in investment premium amortization of $468,000 or a 1.4 basis point decline in margin from Q3.
Second, in the third quarter of 2019 we had several interest income events, primarily related to large payoffs. These events totaled $2.8 million of interest income and decreased the net interest margin by 8.4 basis points for the third quarter of 2019. During the fourth quarter, interest -- event interest income was $549,000 and increased the NIM by 1.7 basis points. The lower event interest

Where Schools Are Headed

Schools and teachers know all too well that students love to bring their mobile devices into the classroom. With advents in technology, however, more and more educational institutions are using this fact to their advantages.
This article in the Technology section of Newsday voices a paradigm shift in the world of education: America's schools, the perennial victims of budget cuts, want to immerse their students and faculty in the online-learning revolution, but don't necessarily have the money to buy every student a mobile device; many are starting to ask students to bring their own devices to school instead. This strategy, the article affirms, has proven to be engaging for the kids and not as cumbersome as some worried it might be.
The concept of mobile devices in the educational sphere raises myriad questions about appropriate use, safety, and security — that's where kajeet comes in! Kajeet School Guard™ is the first free online tool that allows Bring-Your-Own-Device institutions to manage Internet access in the classroom. Parents assign their kid's affordable kajeet device to a filtering group customized by their local educational system, which takes effect during school hours. Learn more here!
Liz Gumbinner of CoolMomPicks.com stopped by "The Today Show" to help parents develop affordable wishlists for the coolest and most kid-friendly gear this back-to-school season. She believes kajeet phones provide a gateway for kids and parents to communicate safely with sophisticated technology, as well as for kids to get cool, real-world smartphones for an out-of-this-world price!

Grandparents in the UK should be given the right to request unpaid leave so they can combine looking after their grandchildren with their jobs, according to the Trades Union Congress.
Although many working grandparents play a key role in the care of their grandchildren, they are currently only entitled to take short periods of unpaid leave in an emergency, explained the TUC.
The TUC, which commissioned a YouGov poll, argued that new right to unpaid leave enjoys considerable support from both grandparents (42%) and parents (50%).
The trade union said the government has an opportunity to introduce unpaid leave for grandparents as the Children and Families Bill reaches its report stage in the House of Lords.
"The informal childcare that millions of grandparents regularly provide is one of the most important and unheralded forms of care in Britain today," said Frances O'Grady, the general secretary of the TUC.
She added: "The childcare provided by grandparents allows mums and dads to work, saves them money on nursery and childminder fees, and creates a special bond across different generations in a family."
In addition, the research revealed nearly three in five (58%) grandparents provide regular childcare without the child's parent or parents present, equivalent to nearly seven million grandparents across Britain.
The most popular reason grandparents gave for looking after their grandchildren, cited by 50%, was to allow the child's parents to work.
The TUC said this was the reason also given by 45% of mums and dads with children under 16 who are looked after by their grandparents.
The polling also showed that working grandparents are more likely (63%) to look after their grandchildren than retired grandparents (55%).
The report argued while grandparents have always played an important role in looking after their grandchildren, the record number of people now working into their late 60s means that many are taking on childcare responsibilities for a second time while they are still working.
With the average weekly wage higher for people in their 30s (£468) than for those their 50s (£427.80) and 60s (£320.90), some families may feel it makes financial sense for a grandparent to reduce their hours and provide informal care, rather than or in addition to a parent in order to ease the pressure on childcare bills, according to the TUC.
"Family life is changing and it's time that government and employers caught up," said Sam Smethers, chief executive of campaign group Grandparents Plus.
He added: "Grandparents are picking up the strain that families are under and providing an increasing amount of childcare. But they are under pressure themselves, working longer and struggling to combine paid work with caring.
"We risk a childcare gap emerging – with parents paying the price – if grandparents cannot afford to reduce their hours or can't get the flexibility they need. The solution is a period of grandparental leave and an investment in formal childcare."

Many tropical plants have a long history of use in folk medicine, although modern medical science has yet to fully investigate and corroborate traditional claims. For example, the leaves and roots of anamu have potential for treating a variety of health problems, including infections, inflammatory disorders and even some types of cancer. As with any form of alternative medicine that incorporates herbs or relatively untested dietary supplements, consult with your doctor before using anamu to treat a health condition.
Anamu -- Petiveria alliacea -- is a small herbaceous shrub found primarily in the Amazon rain forest, Central America, the Caribbean and Africa. It is also called guinea henweed, mucura, tipi, guine and garlic weed. Indians have used anamu in ritualistic ceremonies and for healing purposes. For example, the leaves are chewed to prevent tooth decay. Grated roots are soaked in alcohol and the decoction used to treat rheumatism, snakebite, venereal disease and intestinal parasites. South and Central Americans commonly use anamu as a natural remedy to support the immune system for resistance to colds, flus and other respiratory infections.
Anamu contains a variety of sulfur-containing chemicals that are largely responsible for its garlic- or onionlike odor. Modern science has begun to study some of these compounds and furnished some evidence to support traditional claims for anamu for treating infections. The biologically active compounds are present at much higher concentrations in the roots than in the leaves. Extracts prepared from fresh macerated roots were found to inhibit growth of a variety of bacteria and fungi, including those causing food-borne illnesses, respiratory disorders and genital infections, according to a study published in a March 2006 issue of the "Journal of Ethnopharmacology."
The effects of oral dosing with a freeze-dried extract of anamu roots was examined in rats with pleurisy -- a painful infectious inflammation of membranes lining the lung cavities. In this preclinical study published in the April 2002 issue of "Phytomedicine," anamu treatment reduced the number of white blood cells traveling to the sites of inflammation and had a pain-killing effect. The anti-inflammatory and pain-reducing effects of a anamu tea called tipi was investigated in a small clinical study published in 1991 in "Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz." The research involved people with knee and hip arthritis. Study participants reported decreased pain of motion and pain at night, but people drinking a placebo tea also reported similar beneficial effects.
When used at relatively high doses, alcohol and water extracts of anamu have shown effectiveness in treating people with leukemia and breast cancer in South American countries. Although further testing in animals and in the clinic is needed, an alcohol extract of anamu leaves and stems incubated with human leukemia and skin cancer cells was found to inhibit their growth, according to a study published in a November 2008 issue of "BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine." A compound referred to as dibenzyl trisulfide is currently under investigation as one of the chemicals present in anamu that stops cancer cells from multiplying.

The Reasons
At their February, 2015 meeting, Wyoming Catholic's Board of Directors unanimously decided to forgo participation in the Federal Student Loan and Grant Programs (known colloquially as Title IV). As a young institution, Wyoming Catholic College would surely have been able to use these funds to solidify its current financial position, and to help with additional educational projects and programs.
One of the key issues discussed by the Board's task force when measuring the risks of accepting Title IV funds involved concerns about the impact federal regulation might have on the College's hiring and admissions practices. As a faithful Catholic institution, the College wishes to preserve its institutional integrity in such practices—a stance that could be severely compromised by the regulatory power which accompanies the acceptance of federal funds.
The Consequences
The most immediate, most significant benefit to the College if we had decided to accept Title IV funding at this time would have come in the form of government-backed student loans. The challenge we face is that the government has created a false student loan market, providing loans at a much lower interest rate than can be matched by any private financial institution, bank, or credit union. So, in an attempt to make our education truly affordable to our students while simultaneously maintaining our institutional autonomy, we are providing them with loans ourselves, offering them a comparable interest rate to what they would receive from the federal government. While the College has been looking into other revenue streams from private sources (such as banks and credit unions) or from individuals who would loan the money directly to the students—solutions that would make those funds available to us without incurring ties to the federal government—none are viable alternatives at this time. And that's quite a heavy financial burden.
Where Does The College Go From Here?
While the College's Board and Administration are confident that they've made the right decision for this stage in Wyoming Catholic's development, they hold out hope that fasting from federal funds will not always be a necessity. In the meantime, the College is hard at work searching for ways to offset the loss of funding. The message heard most clearly when discussing this step with the College's various constituencies was one of solidarity: "If you chart this path, we will stand with you—with courage, with prayer, and with ongoing financial support." But on a practical level, this decision means that all of us at the College will have to work that much harder to accomplish our noble mission."
How You Can Help
Seeking to offer competitive financial aid despite abstaining from Title IV funding, Wyoming Catholic College established the Saint Thomas More Fund. St. Thomas More, who served as Chancellor of England under the infamous Henry VIII, is best remembered for his principled objection to the King's heretical views on marriage and his refusal to back Henry's attempts to separate from the Catholic Church over those views. This refusal eventually led to his death (by beheading), making him an exemplary example of courage and unwavering commitment to the Faith at all costs.

Solution Preview
Now, let us discuss the Generation X or Xers.
Generation X employees tend to be less motivated by promises of overtime pay and more motivated by personal satisfaction with their jobs. They want to grow in their jobs and learn new skills. They will change jobs often as they seek jobs that offer them both better benefits and more opportunity for professional growth as well as personal fulfillment. Therefore, organizations should strive to provide opportunities for personal growth and advancement, so that Xers remain happy, satisfied and loyal towards the organization.
Generation X employees want, and expect, their employers to hear what they have to say. They want to understand the "big picture" for the company and how this influences their employment and growth. They are creative thinkers, independent; results oriented and bring with them a healthy dose of skepticism.
Xers prefer informal atmospheres. Therefore, organizations should strive to provide casual, flexible work environments to such group to keep them motivated and happy. Organizations should encourage creativity and innovation at the workplace and allow Xers to unleash their creative potential.
Xers want freedom and autonomy. Further, they prioritize work life balance. ...

The Truth about Management's Lies
Most companies will use "union busting" propaganda to
misinform and mislead you into believing you don't need a union to represent
you in the workplace.
Some companies will even hire highly paid "union
busting" consultants (paid approximately $1,000 - $1,500 a day, plus
expenses) to convince you that you don't need a union. The truth is—most companies don't want to lose control—and they don't want you to have
a voice in determining your working conditions, including wages, benefits,
vacation seniority and overtime.
The following is a list of lies you can expect
to hear from management and their "union-busting" consultants when
you decide to form a union:
Management Lie:
We'll straighten out our mistakes.
The Truth: Management won't
right past wrongs on their own. Change will only come when you empower yourself
and form a union that will negotiate a contract that will hold management
Management Lie: We will have to close
The Truth: No company has
ever shut down because its employees formed a union. The majority of companies
that fail are non-union and they shut their doors because of mismanagement.
Unions want companies to prosper because it means higher salaries and better
benefits for their members.
Management Lie:
Unions are run by big union bosses.
The Truth: UPSEU Local 1222
is run by its members. With the guidance of seasoned union representatives,
your union will be responsible for electing your own Unit Stewards and
negotiating and approving your own contracts.
Management Lie: Unions can't promise you a contract.
The Truth: Under the law,
management is required to negotiate a contract with the union. UPSEU Local
1222's knowledgeable representatives will assist your negotiating team in
achieving the best contract possible. When this is accomplished, management's
verbal promises and evasive techniques will be a thing of the past.
Management Lie: The union will force you to go on strike.
The Truth: UPSEU Local 1222
never forces its members to go on strike. The decision to strike is made by a
majority vote by the unit's membership. Going on strike is the most drastic
weapon workers have, and it is only used as a last resort after careful
preparation and discussion. Over 99 percent of UPSEU Local 122 contracts are settled
without going on strike. There are many effective alternative ways to negotiate
a good contract.
Management Lie: All the union wants is
your dues money.The Truth: All UPSEU Local 1222 wants is to promote fairness, respect and
dignity in your workplace. Union dues are an investment in your professional
career. Your dues provide your unit with knowledgeable representatives and
skilled labor attorneys. Your dues also qualify you to receive numerous
member-only benefits that include home mortgages, scholarships, life insurance
and more.
Management Lie: We're one big happy
family.The Truth: Unfortunately, management's "family" doesn't include
rank and file employees. When workers threaten to form a union, management—for
the first time—suddenly adopts workers as "family." However, without
a contract, real change in your workplace, including improved working
conditions and being treated with dignity and respect, will never happen.
Management Lie: We run a very efficient business.
The Truth: The only thing
management does efficiently is mistreat its employees. Many companies spend
thousands of dollars retaining professional "union busters" to
threaten employees and discredit the union —rather than deal with their
employees in a respectful way. These "union busters" will use every trick available to
stop unions from organizing employees, so beware.
Management Lie: We treat our
employees with dignity.
The Truth: There is no
dignity in the workplace until a collective bargaining agreement is in place.
Without a union contract, workers are "at will" employees and can be
terminated at the boss' whim without "just case." With a union,
employees cannot be fired without just cause. They have job protection and are
treated with respect.
Management Lie: Signing a card
means you've joined.
The Truth: Signing a
"showing of interest" card does not obligate an employee to join the
union. Authorization cards are circulated among workers to demonstrate to the
National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) that there is enough interest in the
workplace to hold an election for union representation. Authorization cards are
kept confidential by the NLRB. They are not shared with the employer.
Management Lie: We can't afford
to pay you more.
The Truth: In most
companies, you'll find that top executives are well taken care of with huge
salaries, annual bonuses and stock options, while workers struggle to make ends
meet. The best way to get management to open up the cash drawer is through
collective bargaining and a union contract. Salary increases can be negotiated
to put an end to collective begging and ensure that employees get a fair share.
Management Lie: Unions can't
guarantee improved wages and benefits.
The Truth: While we can't
promise improved wages and benefits, we can promise you a voice in your
workplace and an opportunity to bargain collectively over all issues concerning
your employment. We can also tell you that every contract we've ever negotiated
on behalf of our members has resulted in improved wages and benefits.

The idea of "Manifest Destiny" is something taught in American schools to children learning about the history of the country. But when this idea is presented to children, there are usually essential concepts left out, which leaves the student with an incomplete picture of what was going on. Manifest Destiny started almost immediately after the end of the war of 1812 and continued to be referenced to this day. It has been expanded upon by American presidents from Abraham Lincoln to George W. Bush and has been used as an example of the best, and worst that America has to offer. To understand Manifest Destiny, it is essential to understand the people who settled the United States and the era in which the country was born.

Manifest Destiny is the idea that American ideals and institutions should be installed into the areas around the world that are perceived to need them. The initial push created by Manifest Destiny was the push for American settlers to head out west and claim the land for their own. But the United States also uses portions of the Manifest Destiny idea when it acquires territories such as Puerto Rico and installs the "American way of life" in these areas.
The United States was founded by people with strong religious beliefs. Those settlers created a country that they felt offered the most comprehensive and helpful institutions, virtues, and political ideals. When the British army was finally defeated at the end of the War of 1812, the idea that American virtues needed to be spread to the western territories grew in strength. Many political leaders who believe in Manifest Destiny felt that it should be applied to the entire world and not just North America. The influence of the British Empire and the manner in which Britain imposed its will on the rest of the world had a strong influence on the way that many of the Manifest Destiny politicians presented their information.
The idea of Manifest Destiny was never put into official political policy, and it never became a mandated directive from the federal government. One of the reasons that many American politicians opposed Manifest Destiny was slavery. Politicians such as John Quincy Adams did not support Manifest Destiny because, at that time, spreading American institutions meant expanding slavery to other parts of the world. It was the potential expansion of slavery that caused some powerful American politicians, such as President Abraham Lincoln, to loudly oppose the idea of Manifest Destiny.
The people who did execute policies of Manifest Destiny did so in a variety of ways. The more notable instances of Manifest Destiny at work include:
- War of 1812 – The American government was threatening to annex British land in Canada before 1812, and that was one of the reasons for the War of 1812. Once the war ended, Manifest Destiny caught on quickly throughout the new country.
- Louisiana Purchase of 1803 – Before opposing Manifest Destiny, John Quincy Adams firmly believed in a concept known as "Continentalism." This was the idea that the entire North American continent not only needed America to expand, but all of the continent's inhabitants wanted America to expand. To further his goal, Adams helped Thomas Jefferson to negotiate the Louisiana Purchase of 1803, which pushed the country even further westward.
- The Treaty of 1818 – One of Adams' last acts as a believer in Manifest Destiny was the Treaty of 1818 with Britain and Ireland. The Treaty of 1818 established the border between Canada and the United States, and it pushed the United States' territory all the way out to the Pacific Ocean. The state of Oregon was originally a territory that was co-owned by Britain and the United States.
- The Texas Revolution – In 1835, settlers who had been living on the Mexican-owned territories of Texas declared that they wanted independence from Mexico so that Texas could become an American state. The Republic of Texas was established in 1836 and recognized as an American territory by the United States government. But it took the Mexican-American War of 1846 to finally make Texas an American state.
- Homestead Act of 1862 – With the Homestead Act of 1862, the American government gave settlers free land in the western territories. The only compensation the government wanted was that the land was to be developed and turned into viable settlements. Nearly 600,000 settlers took the government up on its offer, and the New West was open for business.
When the United States annexed Hawaii in 1898, President William McKinley called the process "Manifest Destiny." While the American settlers were benefiting from the westward expansion, Native Americans had their worlds altered forever. Part of Manifest Destiny was that all of the inhabitants of the territories the United States occupied had to "act like Americans." This meant that the American government expected the Native Americans to start taking on more European customs. When most Native Americans refused, the government took swift and often violent action.
Manifest Destiny is often referred to when American troops are sent overseas to fight in defense of democracy. Many historians point to Manifest Destiny as the rationale used by the American government in introducing democracy to Japan after World War II. The conflicts in Vietnam, Korea, and some of the Middle Eastern conflicts of the 21st Century all seem to have some measure of Manifest Destiny involved in their planning. It is a concept that created the westward push in the continental United States, and it seems to still influence the newest policies of the American government.

According to the Delta Gamma organization, it is a female fraternal organization committed to service, friendship and leadership development, and ITB is a slogan of the sorority standing for "in the bond." "ITB Delta Gamma" shows sisterhood in the sorority.
The ITB slogan first developed as a statement of solidarity in fraternities and stood for "in the brotherhood." Sororities borrowed the initials choosing "in the bond" as a more feminist interpretation for their all-female membership. Delta Gamma members place "ITB Gamma Delta" following their signatures when sending emails or letters to other Delta Gamma members. This is seen as a private communication of sisterhood.

f Elevation of Serum B-Cell Activating Factor Levels During Visceral Leishmaniasis
Elevation of serum B-cell activating factor (BAFF) is one of the characteristics of immunological disorders, including autoimmunity, but the levels of BAFF in infectious diseases have not been studied well. Here, we showed the elevation of serum BAFF in patients with visceral leishmaniasis (VL). The mean serum BAFF value in VL patients (4.65 ng/mL) was 4.3 times higher than that of healthy controls (1.08 ng/mL), and 90% of VL patients showed serum BAFF above the cutoff that was calculated as the mean + 3 SDs of the controls. This report is the first on elevation of serum BAFF during VL.

I don't consider any champions really cancerous per say, but damn a Koa that can consistently land his hooks on you is really, REALLY hard to play against, even with counters.
Torvald isn't on this list?

Considering the others on this list (some of them really made me chuckle) I consider myself surprised Torvald WASN'T on the OP's list.
@Borvik sorry but i NEVER saw a torvald that could kill / hurt me
I know where i can dodge torvald life sucker.
Never get angry at him.
He's a good Thanos
@Radioxyss Yeah Torvald really isn't supposed to hurt you lol
@Borvik I know but i mean that he never did something bad to me
He only was able to cancel my abilities
but even that sometimes helps me -_-
@Radioxyss The point is that he's a bubble bot who gives damage amps
@Borvik its not that strong to make torvald cancer champion d:
@Radioxyss Then you haven't played against enough Torvalds.

The only "cancer" are players who don't understand that this is a team based game and if we want more consistant wins we must know our roles, communicate more, strategize and learn to work together in spite of our differing play styles and language barriers.
We can have the most powerful characters in the game, but that may not help us when we face teams with the qualities listed above.
@Borvik that's right!
@Conrad_Max yep, but i have to admit that in this weeks i had such a good team mates, that talks in chat etc.
saying gg
picking tanks, healers in quick plays
This is the best paladins year ^^

Recently I had three consecutive Siege games where our team did all of the above (that I had mentioned). The first two games were very good and which we had won. With the third game, we were against a team that quite obviously were playing as a fully cohesive team. That game went on a long time with both teams attacking and countering equally. I don't remember which team eventually won, but it didn't really matter. That game was more than just good. It was a very challenging and fun match. Whether we won or lost it was a great battle and was very enjoyable. One of the best in my Paladins career.
A match can be great when both teams are good no matter the outcome.
@Borvik said in Cancer champions:

He's a creeper.
You never remember how annoying Field Study is until you're staring down the barrel of a Talus running up on you with a 2k shield and a ridiculous buff.
@Conrad_Max today enemy and my team had 3 healers so
on quick play
healers are popular today
im happy

The real cancer isn't in the champions.
The cancer is the player themselves as @Conrad_Max said
@a_a by cancer champions players mean very low skill champions.
1 lvl moji can defeat 57 lvl meave.
- lvls without using gold.
But yeah, he's right
- lvls without using gold.
cancer champs? Lian, cause kneeeeeeel!
willo cause, ya can't kill me I can 1v1 anyone
Torv cause shield slave
koa cause dat hook going through walls is bullshit
strix for obvious reasons
Tyra cause you can't do shit about it
maeve cause it's a tryharder champ but she's fun to play tho I like her
khan for other obvious reasons
jenos cause he's a damn bot lifting you up to die so you can't kill him
but the most cancer of em all is....atlas, shield you can't do shit about, 2 lives, spend his time rewinding you, his ult is you can't do shit for 4sec, and his weapon is bullshit already
everything about atlas is cancer

I don't have a big problem with low skilled players, the real problem is with who is skilled but selfish.
I mean the players who don't think about their team, for example:
supports 99% from their job is to heal frontlines right? But many players (don't know why but specially flanks) frequently says "need healing" every time they die putting their mistake in the supports.
a frontline champion who plays his role as damage while the objective/payload is empty of players.

The Women's Vote: 96 Years Later Voting Rights Fights Remain
HARTFORD, Conn. - Women have only been able to legally vote for less than 100 years, and an observance today commemorates efforts to achieve equal rights as well as the continued need to protect democracy. Women's Equality Day marks the certification of the 19th Amendment, which gave women the right to vote.
The president of the National Organization for Women, Terry O'Neill, noted that it took some time for all women to have a voice, because voter suppression laws prevented some women of color from voting.
"It's only been since the 1960s, since passage of the Voting Rights Act combined with the 1920s ratification of the women's right to vote," she said. "It's really since the mid-1960s that we have begun to truly exercise our voice."
She said there is now a new generation in the fight for voting rights, with restrictions on identification and registration among the current debates around the country. The U.S. Constitution prohibits restricting voting based on race, gender and age, but it does not provide the explicit right to vote.
O'Neill pointed out that despite advances, the fight for equal rights for women is far from over. In the workplace, women earn about 77 cents for every dollar men are paid. She said that and other issues such as reproductive rights are examples of why women have to keep up the fight.
"Some 300 laws have been put on the books, actually passed and signed by governors at the state level, restricting in one fashion or another women's access to reproductive health care, whether it's through defunding family-planning clinics, or outright banning abortion care," she added.
She also noted a lack of parity in business and political leadership.
"Only 20 percent of the United States Congress, counting both houses, are women," she said. "And the Republican Party has far fewer women in the House of Representatives and the Senate than the Democrats do. So Democrats are doing quite a bit better, but it's only 20 percent across the board. That's atrocious."
Another issue for women, adds O'Neill, is the lack of paid family medical leave in the U.S. She explained it's a huge hurdle for a lot of women in the workforce, in leadership positions, and just in general, to be able to have time to take care of their families.

Bernie Sanders is a Freemason & Communist
February 27, 2019
Direct Link to Latest News
February 27, 2019
CM said (February 27, 2019):
Let me break this to y'all:
Bernie Sanders is and always has been a complete FRAUD.
He has never worked a real job in his entire feckless, freeloading lifetime, always living off of WE the TAXPAYERS without lifting a finger.
Words are cheap, meaningless and totally worthless, as Sanders and his many stupid cohorts within this detestable and criminal government so clearly demonstrate over and over, again and again. Wake up America.
SEE Sanders' ACTUAL VOTING RECORD!!!
Sanders voted for the ACA, which is bankrupting everyone in this godforsaken country!! What does THAT tell you people?
SANDERS supports CLINTON!! What on earth does THAT say?
SANDERS has ALWAYS, again and again, voted for U.S. WARS of AGGRESSION.
Bernie Sanders is and always has been a POLITICIAN, no different than any other.
JUST BECAUSE HE SAYS "Civil Rights" blah, blah, blah, BLEH.
Look where his lifelong career has gotten US!!!
QUI BONO??? Who benefits from this "system???" YOU??
Well, Sanders certainly benefits!! After all, HE gets lifelong FREE health care ON OUR BACKS, as they DENY WE the TAXPAYERS the SAME...And Sanders now has THREE HOMES!!
Albert said (February 27, 2019):
Henry, I normally enjoy your website and its message.
However, the article by Paul Sperry about Bernie Sanders is rubbish. You and I both know that education in the US (as well as Canada) is not a Federal responsibility. There is no way that the Federal government can dictate free tuition to the States regarding state (much less private) universities. To put it in a Canadian context, imagine the uproar in Quebec if the Federal government tried to dictate that high school must go to grade 12 and that it was illegal to make junior college manadatory pre-university.
And what is so bad about universal medicare which we have albeit imperfectly in Canada? (If the provinces uped the funding and taxation for medicare to 40% of what Americans paid we would have a Cadillac system.)
In general, unlike Canada, the US Constitution is designed to ensure that domestically and fiscally notthing new happens. It is very difficult to pass any program even when the President's party controls both houses of the US Congress. So, I can safely say that none of Bernie Sanders' radical program would ever be enacted.It is designed to get out the leftist vote and nothing more.
So, on what grounds can Bernie Sanders be legitimately criticized? Since, either the Korean War or 1980 or so, depending on how one counts, the US Congress has abandoned its responsibility to declare war and manage invasion policy to the President. Based on his voting, Bernie Sanders would be more of the same and that is a genuine criticism. He is a supporter of the MIC and the Deep State.
Dan said (February 11, 2016):
We should start calling Bernie's supporters SANDER-NISTAS. They would probably think it flattery. It's a great way to get people to show their true colors in front of a larger audience without them actually realizing it.
I was brainwashed college liberal for many years. I know what these people talk about when they're at 'safe' private dinners and parties where they speak freely. Bernie's for Soros' "Black LIves Matter". But his voting record shows he's always been an aggressive advocate of State sponsored gratuitous abortion. ie., black genocide. I know what Bernie's socialist left coterie gets up to. I was one of them back in the 70's, 80's, and 90's. You know what Bernie's pals call "Pro Choice" among themselves at private dinners and parties?
"Crime Prevention". That's right.
Bernie also aggressively supports Euthanasia. While we were distracted by the 'gay marriage' issue, a number of states have quietly legalized 'State Assisted Suicide'. That's real Socialism. They solve the problem of poverty and catastrophic medical costs by killing the elderly, the poor, and the patient.
And Bernie also aggressively pushes Euthanasia of the elderly, the sick, the mentally disturbed, the lonely broke folks. He thinks the State put them out of their misery.

Mike said (February 11, 2016):
What the author (and the folks making the comments) does not get is that any vote for any of our so-called leaders, no matter which way the vote lands, is just another vote for same-old, same-old. My parents still vote in order to choose "the lesser of the two evils" -- whereas I no longer vote because I don't want to choose ANY of the evils. In addition, the vote itself is fraudulent (especially through the electronic voting booths) because the winner has already been determined. Even if Sanders is "surging" ahead of Hitlery, er, Hillary Clinton, at the moment she seems to be the system's favorite, so even if nobody showed up to vote (not one single person) she would still win in all likelihood.
People have to wake up and understand that we, the "proletariat," don't actually pick the candidates -- we just "vote" for one of the establishment's clones. In reality, I don't think any fair(ish) minded person would ask any one of those crooks (Trump included) to run for President. Of course, I can not speak for everyone, just myself.
Al Thompson said (February 11, 2016):
This was an excellent article. The whole government of the "United States" is communist-socialist-fascist. It is a complete mess and I don't know if Donald Trump can fix it.
What the "elites" should be noticing is the disgust of the voting public with the usual candidates. Those who are in the military should think twice because they are not "fighting for our freedom." They are fighting for the psycho-bankers and they are being used by the communists in the government.
Bernie Sanders would raise the income tax rate to the 90% level as it was during JFK. Communism doesn't work and it destroys everything in its path.
The candidates should be thinking about how they are going to strip all of the communist-socialist-fascist principles out of this de facto government.
They could start with the communist-Jew tax which is taxes upon income. This is a communist-Jew slave tax. A forced income tax is stealing and it violates God's commandments and the natural law. Whoever works for the money has the right to keep it.
Bernie Sanders is a bad joke and he speaks like a typical socialist pervert. I don't think this guy is going to be elected. It's Trump's to lose.
I'd love to see Trump completely remove the income tax and if the commie Jews don't like it, they can go back to Israel. I recently saw an article about how a group of Hasidic Jews were kicked out of Guatemala. The reason was that they caused trouble and were generally a big pain-in-the-ass. If the Jews want to practice their socialism, they should leave the country
MacLeod said (February 10, 2016):
I grew up in Stamford, Connecticut, the state with the fifth largest percentage of Jewish population of the 50 states. There were many, many prosperous, intellectual and highly accomplished Jews in my hometown. I used to buy bubble gum at a candy store owned by Sen. Joe Lieberman's parents and I graduated from Stamford High School, same as Joe. My father's law partner was Jewish, as was the first love of my life.
By no stretch of the imagination were all of these Jewish people Marxists, or even Russo-sympathizers, except by virtue of many of their ancestors having come from Russia. I had one Jewish 6th-grade classmate who spent a teen-age summer in the USSR and I'm pretty sure he's a CIA asset now, undercover very high up in the NYC publishing world.
(Another 6th-grade classmate of mine -- non-Jewish to my knowledge -- headed the post-9/11 CIA Iraq weapons inspection team and in October 2004 he made a speech broadcast worldwide on CNN suggesting that Saddam had WMD's, giving Bush his needed re-election boost against Gore-Lieberman... My hometown of Stamford, home of William F. Buckley Jr., was a hotbed recruiting ground for CIA in the 1960s when I was in high school.)
Anyway, your contributor's background as a Joseph Farah-sponsored ultra right-wing CIA mouthpiece notwithstanding, I think it's important to weigh the relative virtues and vices of the leading candidates for US President.
Cruz -- wife is a Goldman Sachs VP. 'Nuff said.
Hillary -- another Goldman Sachs prostitute
Rubio -- completely owned by the Cuban exile Mafia in Miami, which is closely allied with CIA
Bush -- 100% CIA
That leaves Sanders and Trump. Trump's mother was an immigrant from Scotland, just like my mother. I grew up 35 miles from where Trump grew up.
Trump will obviously get the GOP nod. Someone has to run against Trump as a Democrat.
So right now the battle is Hillary vs. Sanders.
Here in the States we don't have the luxury of being observers of this race, as do you Canadians. We have to actually vote for one of these people.
A Sanders vs. Trump matchup would give the country a clear choice between two men who are not on the take from the corporatocracy, Bernie's history of backing defense pork contracts for his home state notwithstanding.
Trump vs. Sanders would give us the most vigorous, polarized presidential contest of my lifetime, at a time when the USA desperately needs to have such a debate.
Another point worth noting: Since it's the young people in the USA who are getting screwed the worst by the political and social sins of the Baby Boomers, maybe it's time for the boomers to step aside and let the youngsters pick who they want to lead the country. We have f**cked things up but good for these kids. I'm not even a Sanders supporter per se, but it crossed my mind to start an "Over 50? Stay home!" campaign urging the older folks to let the under-40s have their say for a change. We have screwed them out a future and maybe it's not too late to save it.
We could start by forgiving the millennial generation's obscene $1.2 trillion college loan debt, something that only stands a whiff of a chance of happening under one candidate -- Sanders.
JG said (February 10, 2016):
This present surge of Bernie Sanders is really bad news for Hillary Clinton.
She now has lost the northeastern liberal voting bloc and everything that goes with it. Hillary can only play the "communist wannabe" once again.
She has now been upstaged again by another fellow communist within the ranks. She can try for the corporate establishment wing of the Democratic Party and the so called "minorities" but it won't be enough to put her over.
Americans today on the whole don't have a clue when it comes to choosing their leaders and fall easy prey for whomever the MSM packages the best.
Mcleod said (February 10, 2016):
Mr. Paul Sperry's pro-Contra, anti-Sandinista ramblings carry the odeur of the Reagan era. They fail to take into account the still-mounting cost of the crack cocaine epidemic, invented by the CIA to raise money for the Contras and to marginalize black communities across America. I would take my chances with the senator from Vermont over the CIA apologists of the Hoover Institution. There's a reason why Contra-era CIA chief Bill Casey's papers are on file at the Hoover Institution.
