Rodney Hand #sexist theheadofhousehold.com
7 Signs your girlfriend or wife is wearing the pants:
It has sadly become the status quo that most men have to ask their wives to have sex with them.
Men speak of "getting lucky" with their wives, or their girlfriends "putting out".
Every time I hear this, it disgusts me to the pit of my stomach as it should disgust you!
Modern men forget that they have natural common-law conjugal rights, that were only persecuted from the 1970s onwards. In fact marital rape was only established in English law from 1991.
The most insidious part of this status quo is that by asking for sex, men instantly eliminate the #1 component of erotic tension power.
What happens in a healthy relationship: you screw her at any time and place of your choosing, at your will. The very act of taking her against her will, makes her wet for you immediately.
2) You routinely cook dinner or do the washing up
Many otherwise healthy men routinely cook for their wives. They have been fooled into thinking "I enjoy cooking", as they attempt to self-rationalise their shameful femininised behaviour.
Think about it from a different perspective. What other, more enjoyable and masculine activities could you be doing whilst your wife is cooking for you? You could be spending the time working on your business and other entrepreneurial activities, earning money! You could be be fixing up those odd jobs around the house that need doing. You could be training martial arts, preparing to defend your family against attackers, or teaching your son the importance of integrity and accountability! Why would a masterful man waste his valuable time in the kitchen?
Take a close look at what your wife is doing whilst you are cooking for her. Is she perhaps watching television diluting her awareness of life in a sea of pitiful and malignant tripe or wallowing in a glib and vapid ocean of foolish jibber jabber on Facebook? Or let me guess she is at work, or doing something relating to her career. All whilst you fill the traditional female role of staying in the kitchen and cooking food!
Sure, I enjoy cooking from time to time I am an awesome chef. But I reserve my cooking skills for that rare occasion when I wish to demonstrate my mastery in that skill. My time on a routine basis provides a mu h more valuable return if invested elsewhere.
Don't fool yourself that you enjoy cooking so much that you sacrifice your valuable time and thus your potential opportunities in life to do it. If that's the case, become a professional chef. Professional chefs are the only exception to this rule.
What happens in a healthy relationship: the woman does all the cooking and cleaning and constantly looks for ways to improve her cooking to please you.
3) The world revolves around her career
This is a case guaranteed to be all too common!
If a couple has no children, there is no issue with the women having a job. However, this does not mean the entire world should resolve around her and her work!
If a couple have children, the women must put her career on ice until all the children are at school. Then, if she wishes, she can re-enter part time employment.
If the focus of her life is directed towards her job, what energy will she have left for you and the family?
Elevating her career' onto a special pedestal is the same as saying "I am more important than you". For a women to prioritise her job is self-serving and narcissistic. By investing all her time in this career', she is investing all her time in herself.
In the natural world, a woman sacrifices herself for the long-term benefit of her family. She deploys her natural nurturing and care-giving instincts, for the betterment of the bloodline.
What happens in a healthy relationship: if the women works, it is a distant last-place to the needs of the family. Her world revolves around you and she loves it.
4) She expects you to follow her orders
I see it day after day. When you remove the veil from your eyes and behold the truth, you will see it too.
Men walking in the supermarket, as if on leashes. Their wives walk them as if dogs.
Whilst you unwittingly entered the relationship placing your trust in the theory of "equal rights", the practice is far different. Women will rush to fill the power vacuum left in the absence of your natural male dominance and will literally begin to tell you what to do. It may start slowly, but it is a rapidly descending slope.
This may come in the form of direct orders, or dominantly phrased rhetoric questions, e.g., "Could you go and do this for me, honey?"
The reality is that women want to be told what to do and if you assert yourself as a good husband in this regard, she will be happier than ever before.
What happens in a healthy relationship: she does exactly as you tell her to do and if she needs something of you she requests it politely and respectfully.
5) She continually nags you
There is nothing more insidious in a women than nagging. This is exactly why men must spank their wives, to combat such emasculating and rude behaviour.
The media has steadily fed men the lie that "nagging" is somehow natural and expected. We have been programmed to believe that a wife is naturally a ball and chain' that will constantly nag' her foolish husband, who is deserving' of this derision. The implication is that the husband is weak and is being justly apprehended by his wife for this fact.
In fact, the complete opposite is true. A man takes the lead in providing for his family and his wife is there to offer her every assistance to him. A good wife is like her husband's Personal Assistant and should be continually thinking of ways she can help to drive forward the direction that the man has set for the family.
What happens in a healthy relationship: she continually supports your every effort with practical assistance where she can
6) She talks down to you
This can start so slowly that many men do not even realise it is happening.
What would be gasped at 50 years ago as unforgivable petulance and disrespect, is now routinely acknowledged as expected behaviour.
The situation is compounded by subliminal programming from the media, where men are portrayed as buffoons and women as heroes. I stopped listening to the radio or watching the TV a long time ago. Next time you are watching some ghastly shite via these mediums, pay close attention to the dynamic between male and female co-presenters. Chances are, the women openly mocks the man, deriding him and reducing him to an emasculated caricature of a true male.
Many men are so used to being on the receiving end of this disgusting behaviour, that it may come as a shock to them to find that a true woman does exactly the opposite. Rather than talking down to her man, she praises his leadership and valuable male characteristics. She looks upto him and regularly reminds him of what a great job he does providing for her and the family.
Can you imagine what you would be capable of with a women like this behind you?
This is still the norm in non-Westernised cultures such as Singapore and India.
What happens in a healthy relationship: she lovingly praises and supports you, like your own personal cheer leader.
7) She won't allow you to make decisions
One of a man's most fundamental roles in a relationship is as the decision maker. He is entrusted to consider the greater good of the family. He is entrusted to follow his instincts for the long-term prosperity and survival of his bloodline. Whilst a man may often seek his woman's input or guidance on major life decisions, ultimately the decision is his.
By claiming veto' rights on the basis of an equal relationship' where "everybody contributes the same", the sly women establishes an unhealthy power framework where she has eroded the man's most fundamental and valuable contribution to the relationship. A relationship is not a jury or a council committee, where votes are taken. A relationship is an exchange of power and resources, based on agreed terms.
Millions of modern men are living unhappy and emasculated lives, as they have naively forfeited one of the principal tenets of their masculinity: the ability to lead and direct a family.
The truth is that a good women wants to be lead by a good husband and will trust in him to make good decisions.
What happens in a healthy relationship: the man makes the decisions, based on his strategic direction for the family and in consultation with his women where he deems fit.

The salwar kameez has its origins from the Punjab region in India. The trousers are called salwar and the shirt is known as kameez. It is often sold with a long scarf or dupatta in matching or contrasting colours. The salwar kameez is worn regularly by Indian women in the UK. The only downside is that in the UK, we hardly find tailors to stitch our salwar kameez suits. And if we do happen to live near one, they charge too high which is why buying readymade salwar kameez seems like the perfect option.
Most online retailers charge a higher price for readymade salwar kameez but at Reeshma we are committed to offering our customers the best prices. We offer custom stitching options with home delivery service so you can order your favourite outfit from the comfort of your home. If you have a particular design in mind and can't find it on our website, please get in touch.

Reeshma proudly brings you exceptional salwar kameez offers for your Indian and Pakistani wardrobe. We source the best materials; creating exquisite and elegant designs in bold colour combinations. So that our clients can enjoy an excellent quality-price ratio.
Every season we bring you affordable salwar kameez offers on our kurtis, two-piece and three-piece collections. Our collection features pure lawn, cotton, raw silk, pure silk, satin and barkha lawn outfits. Our price range includes low priced, affordable suits for everyday wear, but we also cater to customers who are looking for something stunning and glamourous.
The best thing about salwar kameez is that you don't have to be a particular weight or body shape; this attire will suit women with all kinds of physique. Break the mold and set your own rules by wearing our designer salwar kameez to a wedding; you will surely make a fashion statement.
Salwar kameez suits have always been in trend in India and Pakistan and have never gone out of fashion. With time, it has evolved and become more attractive to women since it can now be customized to any shape and size. Reeshma is offering salwar kameez sale on a variety of hand stitched and machine-stitched outfits in all kinds of fabrics like cotton, lawn, khadi, silks, chiffon, etc.
The salwar kameez is made of three separate pieces of clothing – the salwar which is a loose trouser, the kameez or tunic that can be short or long according to your need and a long dupatta or a scarf. Mostly, women use the scarf as a stylish accessory and drape it around the neck on summer days, or over one shoulder for a chic look. During the winters it is worn over the head to cover from cold.
At Reeshma we make it easy for you to find salwar kameez on sale; you can use our filters to find the perfect outfit for you based on your budget, choice of material, size and colours. You can also customize each outfit to add stitching or details and the best is that you can get the outfit delivered right to your doorstep without stepping out of the house.

publish(path=None, dataset=None, to=None, since=None, missing='fail', force=False, transfer_data='auto', recursive=False, recursion_limit=None, git_opts=None, annex_opts=None, annex_copy_opts=None, jobs=None)¶
Publish a dataset to a known sibling.
This makes the last saved state of a dataset available to a sibling or special remote data store of a dataset. Any target sibling must already exist and be known to the dataset.
Optionally, it is possible to limit publication to change sets relative to a particular point in the version history of a dataset (e.g. a release tag). By default, the state of the local dataset is evaluated against the last known state of the target sibling. Actual publication is only attempted if there was a change compared to the reference state, in order to speed up processing of large collections of datasets. Evaluation with respect to a particular "historic" state is only supported in conjunction with a specified reference dataset. Change sets are also evaluated recursively, i.e. only those subdatasets are published where a change was recorded that is reflected in to current state of the top-level reference dataset. See "since" option for more information.
Only publication of saved changes is supported. Any unsaved changes in a dataset (hierarchy) have to be saved before publication.
Power-user info: This command uses git push, and git annex copy to publish a dataset. Publication targets are either configured remote Git repositories, or git-annex special remotes (if they support data upload).
The push command (new in 0.13.0) provides an alternative interface. Critical differences are that push transfers annexed data by default and does not handle sibling creation (i.e. it does not have a –missing option).
- path (sequence of str or None, optional) – path(s), that may point to file handle(s) to publish including their actual content or to subdataset(s) to be published. If a file handle is published with its data, this implicitly means to also publish the (sub)dataset it belongs to. '.' as a path is treated in a special way in the sense, that it is passed to subdatasets in case recursive is also given. [Default: None]
- dataset (Dataset or None, optional) – specify the (top-level) dataset to be published. If no dataset is given, the datasets are determined based on the input arguments. [Default: None]
- to (str or None, optional) – name of the target sibling. If no name is given an attempt is made to identify the target based on the dataset's configuration (i.e. a configured tracking branch, or a single sibling that is configured for publication). [Default: None]
- since (str or None, optional) – When publishing dataset(s), specifies commit (treeish, tag, etc) from which to look for changes to decide whether updated publishing is necessary for this and which children. If empty argument is provided, then we would take from the previously published to that remote/sibling state (for the current branch). [Default: None]
- missing ({'fail', 'inherit', 'skip'}, optional) – action to perform, if a sibling does not exist in a given dataset. By default it would fail the run ('fail' setting). With 'inherit' a 'create-sibling' with '–inherit-settings' will be used to create sibling on the remote. With 'skip' - it simply will be skipped. [Default: 'fail']
- force (bool, optional) – enforce doing publish activities (git push etc) regardless of the analysis if they seemed needed. [Default: False]
- transfer_data ({'auto', 'none', 'all'}, optional) – ADDME. [Default: 'auto']
- recursive (bool, optional) – if set, recurse into potential subdataset. [Default: False]
- recursion_limit (int or None, optional) – limit recursion into subdataset to the given number of levels. [Default: None]
- git_opts (str or None, optional) – option string to be passed to git calls. [Default: None]
- annex_opts (str or None, optional) – option string to be passed to git annex calls. [Default: None]
- annex_copy_opts (str or None, optional) – option string to be passed to git annex copy calls. [Default: None]
- jobs (int or None or {'auto'}, optional) – how many parallel jobs (where possible) to use. "auto" corresponds to the number defined by 'datalad.runtime.max-annex-jobs' configuration item. [Default: None]

Last week we inaugurated a regular feature recapping international highlights and lowlights in religion and LGBT advocacy. This week Russia and India are still in the news, along with Australia, Zambia, Ethiopia, the U.K. , and more.
This week's stories include more evidence that American LGBT rights advocates working overseas are finding their work made harder by anti-gay American religious activists encouraging other countries to resist moves toward equality.
Russia: Defiant Putin Cheered on By U.S. Conservatives
On December 12, Russian strongman Vladmir Putin spoke to a joint session of the Russian parliament and defended the country's anti-gay policies. He decried "top-down destruction of traditional values" and "so-called tolerance," which he described as "genderless and fruitless." Putin proclaimed Russia's role in "the defense of traditional values, which for ages have been a spiritual and moral basis of civilization and every nation: the traditional family values, true human life, including religious life…"
Putin's defiant homophobia continues to set a tone for others in the country. Moscow's largest gay club, which has been repeatedly attacked since the anti-gay propaganda law went into effect, was set upon by a group of people who dismantled its roof. A popular actor, Ivan Okhlobystin, who resumed his career after becoming an Orthodox priest, announced that he would like to burn all Russian gays alive:
"I myself would shove all live gays into furnace. This is Sodom and Gomorrah, I as a beliver in God can not treat this indifferently, this is a live threat to my kids!… I do not want my kids to think that faggots are normal. This is lavender fascism. If a person can not choose someone of an opposite sex for procreation – this is a overt sign of mental abnormality, so they should be denied of voting rights."
Okhlobystin also said promoting gay rights is a "betrayal of God" and serves the devil. "Plus the existence of official organizations which sodomites have in all their forms, from homosexuals to pedophiles – it is a direct insult to the feelings of believers in God, and therefore it should be prosecuted."
Putin received The Advocate magazine's "Phobie" Award for worst anti-gay person of the year.
In contrast, conservative American leaders continue to praise Putin. This week right-wing commentator Patrick Buchanan hailed Putin as a leader of traditionalists worldwide who are resisting "the militant secularism of a multicultural and transnational elite." Buchanan complains, "America was de-Christianized in the second half of the 20th century by court orders, over the vehement objections of a huge majority of a country that was overwhelmingly Christian." Says Buchanan of Putin, "The adversary he has identified is not the America we grew up in, but the America we live in, which Putin sees as pagan and wildly progressive."
Liberty Counsel's Matt Barber also praised Putin, writing, "How sad that the leader of an atheist government, in a country where tens of millions have died under Marxism – another of Obama's pet causes – could out-Christian our once-Christian nation." Barber complained that for the far-right WND that America "now looks less like Reagan's 'shining city on a hill' and more like the biblical Whore of Babylon."
America groans because the wicked rule.
Indeed, under this president, America's chief export has become immorality. Sexual deviancy, murder of the unborn, redistribution of wealth and other evils have been sanitized and propagandized as "basic human rights."
Thus, when this arrogant man stands before the U.N. and decries those nations that refuse to embrace his special brand of pagan relativism, we shouldn't be surprised if those nations push back.
And so they push back.
To be sure, in addition to triggering our own spike in angst, Obama's fevered push to "call evil good and good evil," is likewise responsible for America's snowballing marginalization across the globe.
For instance, there has been, of late, great weeping and gnashing of teeth among mainstream media – and other circles of intolerant "tolerance" – over successful efforts by several foreign governments to stem the tide of "LGBT" propaganda within their own sovereign borders.
Russia, India, Croatia, Peru, Jamaica and even Australia, for instance, along with other nations, are now moving to inoculate themselves from the fast-metastasizing cancer of sexual relativism.
Having witnessed, from afar, the poisonous results of such propaganda here in the U.S. (the hyper-sexualization of children, the deconstruction of natural marriage and family, the rampant spread of sexually transmitted disease, religious persecution and the like), there seems an emerging global recognition that the radical "LGBT" agenda – a pet cause of Obama's – is not about securing "human rights," but, rather, is about promulgating moral wrongs.
The world is finding that forcing others to "tolerate" – indeed, to celebrate – unfettered licentiousness, under penalty of law, is as harmful to society as is said licentiousness to those who practice it.
In response to the anti-gay wave in Russia, actors, musicians, and other entertainment industry figures have launched Uprising of Love, a campaign to raise funds for Russian equality activists. BuzzFeed's Lester Feder reports that money raised will go to The Russia Freedom Fund, a partnership between the Arcus Foundation, the Council for Global Equality, and the Open Society Institute.
This week the Obama administration announced that no members of the Obama or Biden families would attend the Olympics in Sochi. The U.S. delegation will include two out LGBT athletes, two out LGBT athletes — Billie Jean King and Caitlin Cahow.
United Kingdom: Marriage and Adoption Equality Advance
Months after Parliament passed a marriage equality bill, the government has announced that same-sex weddings will begin in England and Wales on March 29 of next year. That same month, same-sex couples who were married in other countries will be recognized in England and Wales as being married. (Marriage equality is expected to move forward in Scotland next year as well.) According to Gay Star News, the government is also working on plans that will allow married people wanting to change their legal gender, while remaining married, to do so. In contrast to last week's news from Croatia, the progress in the UK illustrates the growing divide between eastern and western Europe on LGBT issues that is documented in a new report from Pew.
A ban on adoption by gay couples in Northern Ireland has been lifted over objections from government officials after the United Kingdom's Supreme Court denied a request from Northern Ireland Health Minister Edwin Poots to appeal a June court ruling that the ban violated European rights law. Northern Ireland's Attorney General had also defended the ban. The Belfast Telegraph reports, "Adoption agencies – including agencies associated with church groups, which are opposed to gay adoption on doctrinal grounds – have been circulated by the department with advice on the new protocols which they must observe."
Australia: Marriage Equality Law Rejected by Supreme Court
On December 12, the Australia High Court ruled that a federal law that defines marriage as between a man and a woman trumps a marriage equality law passed two months ago by the Australian Capital Territory. According to the Canberra Times, the ruling nullifies at least 27 marriages conducted in the five days the law was in effect. The ruling puts marriage equality in the hands of the parliament, where equality advocates have vowed to push for a new law. It is not clear whether the government will allow its MPs to vote their own conscience. Prime Minister Tony Abbott opposes marriage equality even though he has a younger sister who is in a relationship with another woman.
India: Response to High Court Ruling Rages
As we reported in the last recap, the Supreme Court of India on December 11 reinstated a colonial-era law criminalizing homosexuality several years after the law had been struck down by the Delhi high court. Activists organized "Day of Rage" protests in India and around the globe.
In the U.S. leaders of the Hindu American Foundation criticized the ruling. "No law should interfere in a consensual relationship of two individuals behind closed doors," said Harsh Voruganti, Associate Director of Public Policy at HAF. "We had hoped that the Indian Supreme Court would have upheld the lower court's progressive decision." More from a press release:
"The essential core of Hindu teachings is that an individual's value is not based on his or her sexual orientation, but on one's ability to transcend the body, senses, and ego," said Swaminathan Venkataraman, HAF's Director of India Strategic Relations. "And unlike many interpretations of Abrahamic scripture, Hinduism does not provide a fundamental spiritual reason to reject or ostracize homosexuals," continued Venkataraman, also the primary author of the widely acclaimed article, "Hinduism and Homosexuality," which appeared in Trikone magazine in 2009.
Hindu teachings about mutual respect and dignity have informed HAF's public policy positions, noted Voruganti. "HAF has repeatedly taken a stand in support of equal rights for LGBT individuals in the United States, from joining an amicus brief asking the Supreme Court to strike down the Defense of Marriage Act to advocating for the passage of the Employment Non-Discrimination Act in the U.S. Senate."
In contrast, in the wake of the ruling, the leadership of the Sikh faith said they had directedmanagement committees of all its gudwaras (Sikh houses of worship) worldwide not to allow them to be used for same-sex weddings. The New Indian Express reported this week thatAkal Takht high priest Jathedar Gurbachan Singh declared "God has created men and women and same-sex relations are not allowed. Preachers should spread the message against same-sex marriages among the public. I agree with the Supreme Court verdict."
Baba Ramdev, an anti-gay spiritual leader know for promoting yoga, has backed the ruling and criticized politicians who haven't supported it, suggesting they must be gay. He says homosexuality is a sickness that can be cured by spending a few days at his Ashram.
And amidst controversy over the treatment of an Indian diplomat by law enforcement officials in New York, a senior leader of India's Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party has called for the arrest of gay American diplomats.
Chile: Pro-Equality Bachelet Returns as President
In a race that gave voters a choice between two women vying for the presidency, Chilean voters on December 15 overwhelmingly elected former President Michelle Bachelet, a supporter of marriage equality, stronger anti-discrimination and anti-hate crime laws, as well as laws important to transgender Chileans. Her opponent had cited the Bible in opposing marriage equality and adoption rights for same-sex couples.
Zambia: Justice Minister Criticizes Pro-Gay Churches
In Zambia, where homosexuality is already criminalized, some politicians are urging stronger laws against homosexuality and hope to rally churches to get involved in the process of rewriting the nation's Constitution. On Sunday, Minister of Justice Wynter Kabimba criticized churches that are advocating on behalf of LGBT equality. 'Why are some churches forming alliances with people that are championing causes that threaten our cultural norms and our Christian values?' According to the Zambia Daily Mail, he said "it is critical that Government and the Church continue to cultivate a harmonious relationship by creating opportunities for dialogue at all times."
Brazil: President Slows Anti-Discrimination Bill in Deference to Evangelicals
Last Friday, Brazilian lawmakers shelved a law that would have prohibited discrimination or inciting violence on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity, reports Dan Littauer at LGBTQ Nation. He reports that the country's minister of institutional relations instructed ruling party senators to hold the bill until after next year's presidential election. The bill was read last week in the Committee for Human Rights despite attempts by evangelicals to have senators boycott the meeting. "According to reports, Minister Salvatti acted under the instruction of President Dilma Rousseff to prevent this from happening." Evangelical leaders threatened to penalize supporters of the legislation:
"There's no point having coffee with [religious] ministers, visiting churches and after the elections, defend projects against the family, as conceived by God," said Senator and Baptist minister Magno Malta.
"We will position ourselves against politicians that defend this homosexual ideology. In the [previous] second presidential run-off all the country stood with Dilma, but now nobody will use me again," warned Malta.
Vatican: Francis Replaces Culture Warrior on Bishop-Selection Committee
Pope Francis continued to make news, replacing outspoken right-wing Cardinal (andflamboyant fashionista)Raymond Burke on the Congregation of Bishops, a position that gave him influence over the selection of new bishops in the U.S. and around the world. Burke's replacement, Washington D.C. Archbishop Donald Wuerl, is no liberal but he has publicly disagreed with Burke's advocacy for denying communion to pro-choice Catholic politicians. And, as the New York Times' Jim Hardley and Jason Horowitz report, some Catholics hope the change signals a future shift from recent appointments that disappointed many progressive Catholics, including the appointment of Salvatore J. Cordileone, an outspoken opponent of same-sex marriage, as archbishop of San Francisco and Leonard Blair, who played a major role in the Vatican investigation of American nuns, as the archbishop of Hartford.
Pope Francis was named Person of the Year by both TIME magazine and by the Advocate, the latter choice angering some gay-rights activists.
Ethopia: Newsweek Reports 'Cheered on by Americans, Ethiopia has Declared War on Gay Men"
A major story in Newsweek reports on the extraordinary legal and cultural hostility toward LGBT people in Ethiopia.
Seventy-six countries criminalize sexual activity by lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people, and 38 of them, including Ethiopia, are in Africa. According to the 2007 Pew Global Attitudes Project, 97 percent of Ethiopians think homosexuality should be outlawed. Unlike Mauritania, Sudan, and Northern Nigeria, Ethiopia doesn't mandate the death penalty for same-sex sexual acts, but thanks to draconian laws that forbid activism while allowing Western evangelicals to promote homophobia, Ethiopia is on track to join their ranks.
"In many countries, it's getting better for the LGBT community," says reporter Katie J.M. Baker. "In Ethiopia, it's getting worse."
She writes that anti-terrorism and anti-advocacy laws, both adopted in 2009, mean that "there are no health centers, charities, publications or even nightclubs that expressly serve Ethiopia's underground LGBT community – the few reputable organizations that once existed have been shuttered or forced to remove any mentions of human rights from their mandates." Ethiopia refuses to fund or permit any HIV prevention, treatment, or care that targets men who have sex with men.
Newsweek reports that anti-gay hostility is an interfaith affair:
Leaders of Ethiopian Muslims, heads of the Orthodox, Protestant and Catholic churches, government officials, members of the Ethiopian Parliament, leaders of political parties, and youth organizations routinely put their differences aside to attend conferences on the "gay problem" – one last year, entitled "Homosexuality and Its Associated Social Disastrous Consequences," was held in the African Union headquarters in Addis Ababa. "Ethiopians do not need their identity to be dictated for them from outside no matter how wealthy or powerful the forces applying the pressure," Abune Paulos, the former head of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, told conference goers last year.
But, while Ethiopia prohibits foreign LGBT-related activism, it welcomes international religious groups that preach homophobia. Thus, "religion is used as proxy for discrimination," explains Ty Cobb, director of Global Engagement at the Human Rights Campaign, by groups who "couch hateful rhetoric in faith-based terms."
Last year's anti-gay conference and others like it are organized and funded by United for Life, a Western Evangelical Christian organization that receives funding from the U.K. and U.S. In May 2013, United for Life hosted a workshop during which police told government officials, religious leaders and health professionals that "homosexual family members and neighbors" were likely to sexually abuse children. A representative from the Ethiopian Inter-Religious Council Against Homosexuality announced that the council was making "promising" progress in convincing the government to introduce the death penalty to punish "homosexual acts." United for Life's president, Seyoum Antonius, has made it clear that he won't quit anti-gay advocacy until Ethiopia adopts the death penalty. One of his rallying cries is, "Africa will become a graveyard for homosexuality!"
Ethiopia is a deeply religious country – the majority of its citizens are Orthodox Christian, then Muslim – but many church leaders are increasingly progressive when it comes to social issues like family planning. During a visit to the Holy Trinity Church, tour guide and longtime teacher Getenet Teshome said the church had relaxed its stance on contraception but that LGBT rights were "unthinkable" – even discussion was "highly condemned," since gay people would "bring doom to the whole earth." He added, with a smile, "I would kill them and expose them to the public, and I'm sure the public will never have mercy upon them."
The national campaign against sexual minorities has gained "extraordinary momentum" in the past five years, says Dagmawi Woubshet, a gay Ethiopian English professor at Cornell.
"There's complete silence around LGBT experiences because there's no forum for stories about the violence meted out by the state and family members on a day to day basis," he says. "My biggest fear is that these religious organizations are monopolizing the conversation and perpetuating a fear that's becoming impossible to combat."
U.S.: Anti-Gay Religious Right Activist Scott Lively Running for Governor in Massachusetts
Scott Lively, currently embroiled in a lawsuit over his fomenting of anti-gay persecution in Uganda, announced that he is running for governor in the state of Massachusetts. The Republican newspaper reports:
"The people of Massachusetts need a candidate who can clearly and unapologetically articulate Biblical values without fear or compromise," his campaign literature states. "They need a candidate who will tell the simple truth that abortion is murder, and homosexuality is condemned by God (but that Jesus forgives those who repent)."
He cites the greatest threat to the citizenry as the "Godless ideology of Cultural Marxism, better known as the 'progressive movement.'"

Janne Saario, 'the skating architect', is a full-time skatepark designer. This makes him an international rarity.
He designed his first park, Helsinki's Micropolis skatepark, when just 22 and has since created another 23: one in the Netherlands, three in Sweden, and the rest in Finland.
Skating since the age of six
When a six-year-old Saario got to try a skateboard his father had made from chipboard and a television stand's castor wheels, he caught a bad case of the skating bug. He's skated ever since.
He signed his first sponsorship agreement while still in high school and went professional before sitting his A Levels.
After a few years of travelling the world for competitions, he swapped a professional career for landscape architecture, then gradually moved on to full-time skatepark design.
On a roll, around the world
Saario has toured the globe for both work and skating. Whatever the purpose of the trip, he always sees the environment from a skater's point of view.
'Things like the captivating and timeless atmosphere of the Saihō-ji moss temple's park in Kyoto have left a mark on me,' he explains.
Of his own creations, Saario mentions the Luleå skating park in Sweden: 'In Luleå, landscape architecture and functionality fuse into a beautiful single entity.'
Old elements from a steel plant visible from the park have been incorporated into the park's structure – visitors can skate inside unusual pieces such as a huge old rusty casting vat.
Saario considers Helsinki Airport too a great environment.
He says: 'The Match Made in HEL skating event at the airport this October allowed me to get acquainted with both the outdoor and the indoor areas of the airport. With a film crew, we explored the airport landscape, looking for shapes and spaces suitable for skating. And found many!'
Saario reflects that the architecture of the airport buildings and the open landscape adapted to the scale of the planes come together to create a feeling that is downright poetic in all its rationality: 'We do have a great airport here in Finland!'
The more the merrier
As do most enthusiasts of this 'community individual sport', Saario likes to spend time with a bunch of friends, both in Finland and abroad.
'In the winter season, skaters often go somewhere warm, such as Spain. Barcelona is indeed a great destination: full of skatable plazas and interconnected lanes forming a huge skatepark maze,' he says.
But Finland too has many destinations worth visiting. One example, the Olari skatepark, in Espoo, has been created by combining concrete with natural rock formations. The result, says Saario, is shapes that are smooth, deep, and surprising. Likewise, the landscape architecture employed in many new urban open areas incorporates several smooth and stone-paved surfaces and unexpected, sculpted-feel shapes.

England prevailed in the most dramatic of circumstances to lift the World Cup for the first time, beating New Zealand by virtue of having scored more boundaries in the final at Lord's.
As the dust settles on an electric and unforgettable conclusion to a tournament that spanned six and a half weeks, England's moment in the sun means they are well represented in PA's team of the tournament.
Rohit Sharma (India) – 648 runs at an average of 81
The leading run-scorer and the first man to hit five centuries in a single World Cup, India were heavily reliant on their opener's contributions. At one stage he seemed destined to eclipse Sachin Tendulkar's benchmark for most runs in one edition (673), only to fall short after a rare failure in the semi-final against New Zealand.
Jason Roy (England) – 443 runs at 63.28
A monstrous 153 against Bangladesh was followed by a hamstring tear, with England lacking vigour at the top of the order in his three-game absence. He amassed three half-centuries on his return and galvanised Jonny Bairstow. The pair have registered 11 century stands in 33 innings together at the top of the order, averaging 68.21.
Kane Williamson (New Zealand) – 578 runs at 82.57
Named man of the tournament, Williamson's bashful response after apparently being told of the honour went viral and spoke volumes about the man. Not only did he break the record for most runs at a tournament for a captain, his grace and eloquence in the immediate aftermath of a heartbreaking final defeat earned him a legion of new admirers.
Joe Root (England) – 556 runs at 61.77. Two wickets at 27.5
Despite finishing as England's leading run-scorer, it was a rather understated tournament for the Test captain, who was overshadowed by those around him. Nevertheless, England's glue regularly contributed in a way only he can, pushing the field and regularly rotating the strike, allowing his more flashy colleagues to take the plaudits.
Shakib Al Hasan (Bangladesh) – 606 runs at 86.57. 11 wickets at 36.27
The only member of the XI who did not reach the knockout stages, but it was not for the lack of trying. The only player in the history of the tournament to amass more than 600 runs and take 11 wickets, statistically no one else comes close to matching these figures. Can count himself unlucky not to scoop the player of the tournament gong.
Ben Stokes (England) – 465 runs at 66.42. Seven wickets at 35.14
Stokes' heroics in the final would have been enough to seal his entry here, but England's all-rounder has consistently delivered, primarily in a more nuanced role with the bat. A three-figure score may not have been forthcoming but there were five instrumental fifties, his 84 against New Zealand at Lord's the best of the lot.
Alex Carey (Australia) – 375 runs at 62.5. 18 catches and two stumpings
A stellar 71 against New Zealand, counter-attacking brilliantly after a top-order collapse, was the highlight for Carey, who also made half-centuries in losing causes against India and South Africa. It may be that the genial Carey is one place too low here and in Australia's line-up. He kept tidily enough, too.
Mitchell Starc (Australia) – 27 wickets at 18.59
Setting a new record for most wickets at a single World Cup, relegating Glenn McGrath's haul of 26 scalps in 2007, tells its own story. The left-arm paceman is well on his way to greatness and his in-swinging yorker to castle Stokes at Lord's was probably ball of the tournament and one of its standout moments.
Jofra Archer (England) – 20 wickets at 23.05
It is a little more than two months since the Barbados-born youngster made his international bow, but the wiry speedster became the first England bowler to take 20 wickets at a World Cup. Despite his rookie status, he was trusted with bowling during the Super Over shoot-out against New Zealand, ultimately holding his nerve at the death.
Lockie Ferguson (New Zealand) – 21 wickets at 19.47
There were many tipping the paceman as one to watch in England and Wales, and Ferguson certainly did not disappoint. Only Starc took more wickets than a bowler whose blend of venomous short balls and toe-crushing yorkers, as well as a succinct slower ball, accounted for many a batsman.
Jasprit Bumrah (India) – 18 wickets at 20.61
Given Bumrah typically bowls at the start and the end of the innings – when batsmen are looking to accelerate – his economy rate of 4.41 is extraordinary. India's pace spearhead was able to bamboozle many batsmen with his subtle changes of pace, while he very rarely seems to miss his length with his yorkers.

The chambray shirt is a true classic, described by GQ as "timelessly American." It's the original blue collar shirt, its fabric associated with the hard working Americans on whose backs this country was built.
Like many timeless classics, the chambray shirt's origin is military. Through the Second World War, it was standard issue for U.S. sailors. After the war, college students on the G.I. Bill pressed their chambray shirts into civilian service–just as their army counterparts did with their khaki trousers.
A trip last weekend to Manready Mercantile brought a chambray shirt into my orbit. Remembering that I was fond of Flint and Tinder's products, they showed me some of the company's recent arrivals, which included chambray shirts in blue and gray.
As someone who hasn't purchased a long sleeved shirt off-the-rack in more than a decade, I was skeptical. Despite my preference for custom shirts from Houston's Hamilton Shirts, I've tried in vain to find off the rack button downs that fit. But the results have always been less than satisfying: sleeves too long and body too voluminous for my 5'11" frame, even in a size medium.
But the Flint and Tinder chambray shirt–made in Philadelphia–was none of those. It was slim enough to avoid looking tent-like in proportion but with enough room for movement. The sleeves met the shoulders at precisely the right point. And the lightweight fabric promised use throughout our Southeast Texas summers.

Andy Farrell was delighted with the attitude and commitment of the club's senior players after a convincing 2-0 victory over Preston on Tuesday.
After a brace from Rouwen Hennings - one assisted by the returning Ashley Barnes - Farrell had nothing but praise for those gaining valuable game time.
Professional Development Phase Coach Farrell, standing in for Michael Jolley, said: "The whole group had an excellent attitude, a good work ethic, and they played very well.
"I thought we were the much better team in the first half, mainly down to our professionalism and work ethic, and we probably could have had another couple."
"Rouwen held the ball up the well, his touch was good today and brought the midfield players up well, he did everything you want from him."
With Barnes and Dean Marney both returning from injury, managing 45 and 60 minutes respectively, Farrell also complimented their contributions to the side.
Farrell added: "It was great to have Ash back on the pitch.
"He's a great character and influence on and off the pitch and for the 10 minutes after he came off, the team's performance dipped slightly.
"Dean was solid in the middle with Freddy (Ulvestad). They were very neat and tidy and they didn't give much away which didn't offer Preston a lot of space to play."
Development squad talents George Green and Christian Hill both came off the bench to play alongside the experienced first team players; another positive in the eyes of Farrell ahead of the next Development Squad game at Fleetwood on Friday.
He added: "This was a great opportunity for them, fighting to get on the pitch with the first-team players and a few of the younger lads are definitely capable of holding their own."

Ha – La – Li
(LoveSuicide for A-Dong)
'And over Li Chiang, the snow range is turquoise
Rock's world that he saved us for memory
a thin trace in high air…' – Ezra Pound
Cold fingers sketch the mist,
your outline
through dawn's paper napkin.
I follow you under rose-boughs
this cobble-road –
a sleeping scar in our giant's backbone
that feathers ghosts
snow-peached skin.
I cup your hands at the crest,
cradling them to me
before leaping
and our eyes
into the air.

Familiarly known as the Chinese New Year in the West, Koreans call this special day, "설." Pronounced as Seol, it is one of the most celebrated holidays in Korea as families come together from afar, engage in festivities, and prepare deicious foods to celebrate the first day of a new lunar calendar. Yet, behind all the festivities, there is a deeper meaning associated with this holiday: it is a time of prayer and reflection as we hope together that the New Year will be full of blessings and happiness.
This meaning of blessings can be found in many of the activities performed during 설. Foremost, the name "설" is derived from the word "섧다" meaning "sorrow" and "restrained." Thus, during "설," people refrain from going out, and families gather together to pray that the New Year will be safe, peaceful and more prosperous than the last.
As families gather together, they greet each other with "덕담," – words of blessings wishing one another a promising New Year. An interesting aspect of "덕담" is that it is said in the past tense, as if the blessings had already happened: "Did you have a good year? I heard a new baby was born this year?" This kind of tradition has been passed down for generations, and it is rooted in the belief that if the first words you hear in the New Year are a blessing, that year will hold promises of good things to come.
Lastly, during "설," people put up special paintings, objects, and ornaments in their house to expel evil spirits and to bring in blessings and happiness. "세화," a special painting that is put up inside a room, is believed to push away evil spirits from entering the house. The painting below on the far right shows a rising sun breaking through a sea of clouds whose emergence is met by a rooster's morning call. In addition to paintings, objects with pockets at the end, such as the one below on the far left, are hung above the bedroom doors in the early morning hours of the New Year's day. These objects are called "복조리," and like Christmas stockings, people hope that these will be filled with blessings in the coming New Year. Finally, on the front doors, people attach "부적,"a form of talisman, to prevent evil spirits from entering the house. Although rarely practiced today, it was believed that these kinds of talisman would scare away evil spirits and stop them from ruining the start of a New Year.
Thus, as we celebrate the arrival of the Year of the Snake, let us hope that it will be full of blessings and happiness!

"When in Rome, do as the Romans do!"
"What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas."
In Colorado…
We spent Labor Day weekend traveling around Colorado. The mountains were calling! We went to Gourmet on Gore, food festival and wine tasting, in Vail Village for our first stop. Everything smelled so delicious!
We walked around sipping Arnold Palmers, checking out all the food and enjoying the glorious weather! Everyone was either walking or riding bikes. Chris bought some of the most delicious organic plums. I swear they were so sweet and fragrant I felt like I was eating a flower!
I love the mountain air, though I did have mild altitude sickness and had to suck on a can of oxygen the first night. That's what I get for being hardheaded and walking two miles, while the rest of my crew took the shuttle to dinner!
Since this was a road trip, we decided to travel through the mountains to Aspen for a night and loop back to Denver via Independence Pass. We stayed at the Aspen Meadows Resort, home of the Aspen Institute.
The grounds are BEAUTIFUL, though the buildings look a bit like the Dharma Initiative in Lost! The rooms were really nice inside though, and the flowers were blooming everywhere!
We left the windows open all night (the rooms don't have air conditioning) and the low night temp was 40 degrees! Loverly!
My family tried to kill me…We rented bikes to ride into town. It's been years since I've gone bike riding. Chris was leading and I was the caboose. I was leisurely pedaling and just enjoying the mountain view. I should have known better when I saw the giant mirror on the curve. No lie, the road sloped down 60 degrees and I cruised right down it! Luckily, there was road construction, so no traffic, BUT we had to climb back up to get back on the main riding path. Honestly, I haven't had that much fun in a LONG time!
We walked all over downtown Aspen. Is that background gorgeous or what?!
Ahem…I wanted to check out a dispensary, so I walked into The Green Dragon. Unfortunately, I didn't have my ID and was politely asked to leave! (Insert howling laughter) Flashback to 1987! I haven't been asked for my ID since high school! This is all I got, a pic of the t-shirts in the waiting area!
I don't do heights, but I did Independence Pass! The drive was breathtakingly beautiful, but scary! At one point we inched past a USDWF work truck and had a hairs width between us. Yikes! I got tickled when we were walking to the summit of the pass. We passed two young children with their grandparents. The little boy kept saying he was tired and the grandfather said, "You're not tired, it's just the altitude!" 12,095 ft up on the Continental Divide…I had a little trouble myself! My boys LOVED it!
We finally made it to Twin Lakes, (big sigh from me!) and it is gorgeous!
I had a fantastic vacation with my sweet family. I didn't want to come home, even though they pushed me to my limits BUT we took the scenic route!
Do more of what makes you happy!

Sub:- Furnishing of information regarding transfer, retirement, voluntary retirement, resignation, missing, long leave (with medical certificate and without medical certificate) and death of Government officials, who have been allottees of General Pool Residential Accommodation (GPRA) and disciplinary action taken against the delinquent allottees of GPRA to the Directorate of Estates.
I am directed to refer to this Directorate O.M. of even number dated 25.1.2002 on the subject mentioned above requesting all Ministries/Departments of the Government of India to furnish a monthly information in respect of transfer of allottees of General Pool Residential Accommodation to ineligible office/outstation posting/voluntary retirement / resignation / death to this Directorate immediately on occurrence of such events along with details of general pool residential accommodation occupied by such allottees in order to take timely follow up action.

text: Don't let that extra day of February fool you, it's already March! A new month means yet another new edition of Selected Sounds put together by our team. We've rounded up our most anticipated upcoming concerts for you, from local acts like Sun Young, Dead Elect, and American Symphony of Soul to popular touring acts such as Leon Bridges and Beach House. These are some shows you'll want to clear out your calendar for! Tuesday, March 1st, 2016 Sun Young, Dead Elect & more at Out of the Blue Too Art Gallery – Selected by Anna All proceeds from the show are being split between Bernie's campaign and Out Of The Blue– what better way to spend your Super Tuesday than supporting a candidate? Accompanying the release of a Boston for Bernie compilation featuring songs from myriad local artists, the show is accepting donations as admission and is in a space surrounded by art. Other band's include Puppy Problems, Community College, and Saccharine. Wednesday, March 2nd, 2016 American Symphony of Soul with Bad and Blue at Wonder Bar – Selected by Knar These two local acts will be bringing some explosive energy to Wonder Bar– expect big brass sounds, soulful vocals and fortified funk. Read what Jon learned about the latest album by A.S.S. and be prepared to electrify your evening. Saturday, March 5th, 2016 Leon Bridges at The Wang Theater – Selected by Jon Last time I saw Leon Bridges perform was at tiny Cafe 939's Red Room. Since then, he's made some moves. This weekend, he's playing the Wang, a theater roughly 17 times the capacity. It's a good thing soul music knows no size. Friday, March 11th, 2016 Brian Fallon & The Crowes at Royale – Selected by Josh G. With the Gaslight Anthem on hiatus, Brian Fallon's gone solo. Eschewing his band's loud rock, Fallon's turned to folk music, one of his original inspirations. From the preview tracks, the move seems cathartic for Fallon, as his confessional and conversational lyrics fit nicely over quieter, more intimate arrangements. The Royale show will also act as a de facto album release party; Fallon's Painkillers drops on the same day. Beach House at House of Blues – Selected by Matt J. Put on your best pair of headphones. Listen to any album by Beach House front to back. Cry that you can't get tickets to the intimate "installation" show on the 12th. Get tickets to the show at House of Blues like everyone else.

text: Shane Watson grabbed the wicket of Joe Root as the DRS controversy surfaced once again [Reuters]Australia wrested control of the third Test back from England for the second day in a row, reducing the tourists to 180 for four at stumps and taking another step towards reclaiming the Ashes. Ian Bell, who had made nine not out, and Ben Stokes, unbeaten on 14, will resume on day three on Sunday with England trailing Australia's first-innings tally of 385 by 205 runs. The tourists need at least a draw to keep the series alive and had built a solid platform when Alastair Cook and Michael Carberry put together the highest opening partnership in eight tests against Australia this year. Second day scorecard Australia first innings 385 England first innings A Cook c Warner b Lyon 72M Carberry b Harris 43J Root c Haddin b Watson 4K Pietersen c Johnson b Siddle 19I Bell not out 9B Stokes not out 14Extras: 19Total: (4 wickets; 68 overs) 180 Australia's bowlers, though, are charged with confidence after dominating the English batsmen in the first two Tests in Brisbane and Adelaide and defied energy-sapping temperatures in excess of 40C to strike back. Carberry and Joe Root, controversially, fell in the half an hour before tea and Cook and Kevin Pietersen were dismissed in the final session - all without the standout bowler of the first two tests, Mitchell Johnson, taking a single wicket. "Everyone's chipping in, bowling tightly, bowling good lines and more importantly swinging the old ball," Australia bowling coach Craig McDermott said. "We've got 12 overs until the new ball tomorrow, so a wicket early would be ideal and we can get stuck into them with the new ball." England dealt with the first new ball reasonably well but Carberry had already survived a couple of scares when he played on a Ryan Harris delivery from around the wicket for 43 half an hour before tea with 85 runs on the board. The tourists would probably have been happy to get to tea with just one wicket down only for Root to follow Carberry to the dressing room for four some 20 minutes later. DRS controversy Shane Watson's delivery beat his bat and umpire Marais Erasmus raised his finger in the midst of a frenzied appeal from the Australians, who thought they had heard a nick. Root immediately sought a review but departed shaking his head as the TV umpire and the battery of technology available to him did not find sufficient evidence to overturn the decision. "It was obviously a disappointing dismissal for us, and a key dismissal for us," Carberry said. "He obviously felt he didn't hit the ball, so he reviewed it. "Obviously we're bitterly disappointed." With Cook gone for 72, Pietersen seemed to lose interest in the conservative gameplan and, after becoming the fifth England player to score 8,000 Test runs, fell victim to Siddle for the 10th time in his career. Attempting to punish a short ball from the Victorian, Pietersen did not really get hold of his shot and Johnson leaped to take a superb catch at mid on and send him packing for 19. "I just thought it was fantastic piece of athleticism really, great catch and a really important wicket for us," McDermott added. "The two wickets in that last session were very crucial to our day. And the last three hours of bowling and fielding were superb." Johnson's was the first wicket to fall in a day which started when England removed the last four Australian batsmen at a cost of an additional 59 runs to their overnight tally of 326. The England attack, though, will rue not driving home their advantage when they had Australia floundering at 143-5 on the opening day of the match. "Ideally we'd have liked to have lost a few less wickets," Carberry added. "But having said that Australia, credit to them, bowled very well. "We're still in the hunt. We're 200 behind so we have to get through the new ball tomorrow and get up near the Australians' total." SOURCE: Reuters Sport Cricket

Rust Plaid Brushed Cotton Shirt - Rodney
Sold Out
Product Details
Guess what I found during the big move? I unearthed a box of Rodney's that went 'missing' last year. Well, he is here now and I am offering him at a great price because I can't take it all with my as I move!
I live for making shirts & I am a real fanatic about it. So much detail & care has been put into the making of each Blade + Blue piece. I want this to be your new favorite shirt.
What Makes a Blade + Blue Shirt So Special?
- MADE IN USA: Blade + Blue shirts are made in limited runs here in the USA. I work with master craftsmen whose family has been making shirts since the 1950's.
- TOP OF THE LINE FABRIC: Blade + Blue sources premium Japanese fabrics from some of the finest textile mills in the world.
- A GREAT FIT: I set out to create a shirt that was both comfortable & flattering. No more feeling like you are stuffed into a super-skinny fit or feeling frumpy in a big, boxy fit. The Blade + Blue cut was designed to provide room for comfort in key areas like the chest & shoulders but is then slightly nipped at the waist to give you a most flattering shape. You will also notice that the lengths of Blade + Blue shirts are designed to make you to look great tucked in or out. Please take a look at our FIT GUIDE for more specific measurement information.
- 'NITTY-GRITTY' GOOD STUFF: Let me share a few more details that make the Blade + Blue extra cool:
- Collar Shape: Nothing is worse than seeing an otherwise handsome shirt ruined by a big, floppy collar. The wrong collar shape can instantly ruin your look. I have slightly trimmed the height on Blade + Blue collars, then created a semi-spread shape for a very sharp & modern effect.
- Interior Cuff Trim: You guys have told me that your favorite surprise is the navy herringbone tape tucked just inside the sleeve cuffs. Guys are always rolling up their sleeves to be comfortable and this subtle detail allows them to be relaxed but still look polished at the same time.
- Placket Construction: The slimmer center placket shape of the Blade + Blue shirt is sewn in with a stitch right at the edge of the placket. This technique creates a more streamlined look and eliminates the distracting, 'rumpled' effect that occurs with most other shirts.
THE RODNEY SHIRT: This fall, it was all about experimenting with interesting tones of neutrals. Around the site you'll see shades of whiskey, copper & olive, but it was this shade of reddish rust that really surprised me when it was done. It is so handsome against denim or navy or black. And the best thing is, there is nothing in my closet just like it! 100% cotton, trimmed with charcoal marbled buttons and navy herringbone tape.

SME 2018: A Mineral Processing Perspective
EIRICH Machines participated in the Annual Meeting of the Society for Mining, Metallurgy and Exploration (SME) February 25th – 28th which was held in Minneapolis, MN for the first time. We brought our TowerMill Vertical Media Mill model to give attendees a visual perspective and discussion on its uses for ultrafine grinding in the mineral processing industry. Below is a link to the blog posted by Barry Wills from MEI, a world leader in the dissemination of mineral processing information, which included a visit to our booth.
Many mineral processing companies are also missing from the exhibition this year, apart from in the comminution field, the area of mineral processing which has developed most rapidly in recent years. Stirred mills, for example, were little heard of in mining a few decades ago, but are now increasingly incorporated into flowsheets where ultrafine grinding is necessary. Eirich's TowerMill is one such machine, and Mark Oles and Christopher Clark, of Eirich Machines, USA, were demonstrating a model of the mill to delegates from Colorado School of Mines. The Eirich Group is headquartered in Germany and has subsidiaries worldwide. Nippon Eirich, the Japanese sister company, will be represented at Comminution '18, and Sam Palaniandy will be presenting work on developments for the further refinement of ultrafine grinding. Link to MEI Blog.
Eirich Machines Introduces SmartClean™ Wall Scraper
EIRICH Machines, Inc. (www.eirichusa.com), a global leader in bulk solids handling and processing, today announced its SmartClean™ Wall Scraper. The newest option to the family of vertical and inclined high intensity mixers, the SmartClean™ Wall Scraper is ideal for applications requiring high consistency and/or those with high product variation batch-to-batch.
The SmartClean™ Wall Scraper is an excellent cost-effective alternative for blending and mixing product and overcomes the limitations of established fixed wall scraper technologies. The SmartClean™ Wall Scraper's unique design allows the operator to pivot the wall scraper inward and away from the pan wall and floor providing easier access to clean and maintenance which can improve product quality, reduce operating costs and increase machine utilization.
Meet the OptimaBlend Lab Size Fluidizing Mixer!
We are excited to introduce the FPB-1P5 sanitary lab mixer, the newest addition to the OptimaBlend™ Fluidizing Blender family of horizontal batch mixing systems. The new 1.5 ft³ sanitary lab mixer, from Eirich Machines American Process Systems (APS) product line, features the same fluidizing mixing technology as their larger production mixers. This versatile lab mixer is ideal for lab work, R&D and small scale production.
The FPB-1P5's superior mixing performance provides an excellent cost-effective alternative for blending and mixing ingredients, and overcomes the limitations of established ribbon and v-blender technologies. The OptimaBlend™ Fluidizing Blender mechanically fluidizes the product ensuring an efficient and gentle mixing process regardless of density, shape or size. It enables Eirich to achieve coefficient of variance targets on complex applications that conventional mixing equipment cannot maintain.

A park means so much more to a neighborhood than just providing playground equipment. It becomes a central gathering place where memories are made within the community. That's why the Town is now asking for the public's help picking the next neighborhood park location.
Join the Parks and Recreation Department for one of two informational presentations - 6 to 7 p.m. Monday, Aug. 21 and Wednesday, Aug. 30 at the Millhouse at Philip S. Miller Park.
The informational meetings will be an opportunity for residents to learn more about the research and analysis data for each potential park location. A formal presentation on each site will begin at 6 p.m., followed by a question and answer period. Light refreshments will also be provided.
Feedback forms will be available at each meeting, as well as online at CRgov.com/FutureParks. Parks and Recreation staff will include the public's feedback into a final recommendation for Town Council.
The department anticipates spending about $2 million to develop five to eight acres of parkland. It's important to note that the funding source for new parks is different than the funding sources for renovation and maintenance of existing parks and recreational facilities. Funding for the new neighborhood park was generated by park impact fees, which by state statue can only be used for new development of parks and recreation services as demanded by growth.
The five sites under consideration are:
Can't make the meeting, but still hoping to share your opinion? Fill out a feedback form online at CRgov.com/FutureParks. Please take the time to look through the research on each site before making your selection and filling out the feedback form. The online form will be available through Sunday, Sept. 10.

Summary and Keywords
Throughout the 1980s, Central America was wracked by conflict. El Salvador faced a guerrilla insurgency, Guatemala's long conflict festered, and Nicaragua faced a continually escalating U.S.-led proxy war that used fighters, loosely referred to as the Contras, to wage war on the Nicaraguan government through cross-border raids that implicated Costa Rica and Honduras in persistent violations of sovereignty. The Treaty of Esquipulas, spearheaded by Costa Rican President Oscar Arias Sanchez, ended these conflicts and brought stability to the region.
The Treaty of Esquipulas stands as one of the most significant and understudied peace agreements of the late Cold War. These accords ran counter to the will of the more powerful United States, which throughout the 1980s had sought to use military force as the key to achieving regime change in Nicaragua. The United States policy of supporting guerrillas that waged a war of regime change in Nicaragua fanned the flames of conflict and destabilized the region. Esquipulas undermined this destructive policy. For the first time, the small nations of Central America, so long considered the imperial servants of the United States, thwarted an aggressive U.S. military policy. Through intense diplomatic meetings, and in the wake of the controversy that developed from the Iran–Contra scandal, President Arias of Costa Rica succeeded in creating a peace agreement for Central Americans and authored by Central Americans. The Esquipulas accords were a blanket repudiation of the near decade-long Contra war policy of the United States. Central America created diplomatic unity and facilitated a successful opposition to the military policy of its more powerful neighbor. This agreement was a great triumph of peace and diplomacy created in the face of what seemed like overwhelming odds.
Keywords: Treaty of Esquipulas, Oscar Arias, the Contras, Daniel Ortega, Ronald Reagan, Contadora, Philip Habib
