A consortium of tea partiers, patriot groups and other conservative activists gathered in a private dining room at a seafood restaurant in Kernersville on Thursday evening for a presentation on a supposed Muslim plot to conquer the United States.
The 20 or so people who attended the meeting at Captain Tom’s Seafood needed little convincing from presenter Tom Jones, who soldiered through frequent interruptions about supposed Muslim treachery paired with testimonials about preparedness for violent confrontation and even expressions of readiness to kill Muslims.
“Do you have any recommendations as to how we could stop this?” asked Frank del Valle, a Winston-Salem resident whose Facebook page identifies him as a retired federal employee and native of Cuba, near the end of the hourlong presentation. “Because my only recommendation is to start killing the hell out them.”
Del Valle’s outburst spurred a variety of responses from the group.
Robert Goodwdid not identify himself, said, “I want to start doing something instead of talking about it all the time.” He added, “I’m in a group. I’m not going to tell you what group I’m in.”
“Talking is going to start the conversation,” Jones insisted. “We all have to find a way to proceed. This is my way of contributing.”
Del Valle said his views on Islam have been shaped by his longstanding opposition to the Castro regime in Cuba.
“I’m the kind of guy — my country was lost to the communists,” he said. “For a long time I saw how they achieved that. And the Muslims are doing the exact same thing. So I am very aware of that. I have been talking about that for a long time.”

Goodwill continued to try to talk del Valle down, arguing that the tide is turning.
“Political correctness is being thrown away,” he said. “A lot of people are meeting like this. We’re making progress in the positive direction.” He argued for supporting reformers in the Muslim faith, adding, “We need to talk about how we can get things done peacefully. Be ready for the worst.”
“I am beyond that point,” del Valle replied. “I’m ready to start taking people out.”
“I can understand that,” Goodwill said. “But we’re not there yet.”
Earlier in the presentation, del Valle quipped, “Shed some blood, too,” in response to Jones’ call to “shed some light” on the Muslim Brotherhood.
Del Valle declined a request for an interview to clarify his comments late Friday.
A percussionist, del Valle is a founding member of West End Mambo, a renowned Latin jazz and dance group based in Winston-Salem, but is no longer listed as an official member of the group.
“I’ve known Frank for a long time, but it’s always about music,” said Cesar Oviedo, West End Mambo’s musical director and arranger. “I never engaged with him in any political conversations. I can see that he sympathizes with right-wing stuff on Facebook.”
Del Valle’s comments about “killing the hell” out of Muslims were preceded by a warning from Jones about that the true danger to the United States is not necessarily al-Qaida, ISIS and other outwardly extremist groups that carry out spectacular acts of violence that garner widespread media coverage. People should be more concerned about Muslims who appear to be moderate and integrated into American society, he said.
The focus of his presentation centered on the Muslim Brotherhood, a culturally conservative organization founded in Egypt in 1928 that has established branches throughout the Middle East and North Africa, with members also emigrating to Europe and the United States. One of the leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood’s international organization, known as the Tanzeem, an Egyptian named Youssef Nada, established a bank that was accused by the US Treasury Department of financing al-Qaida. The focal point of suspicion against the organization is the discovery during a 2001 police raid in Switzerland of a 1982 document known as “The Project,” which was the subject of 2012 documentary by the same name produced by conservative media personality Glenn Beck.
“Some commentators have portrayed this document as evidence of the Brotherhood’s sinister project to take over the Western world,” Alison Pargeter, an expert in North Africa and the Middle East, wrote in her book The Muslim Brotherhood: The Burden of Tradition.
The 12 points in the document include the pledges: “To use diverse and varied surveillance systems, in several places, to gather information and adopt a single effective warning system serving the worldwide Islamic movement, and “To reconcile international engagement with flexibility at the local level.”
Pargeter wrote, “In spite of the allegations, this document is a fairly mundane wish list and would appear to be largely an expression of intent that reflects the ambitions and optimism of the time.”
The author told Triad City Beat in an email: “For my part, this document has been completely overblown and the idea that the [Muslim Brotherhood] has some sort of plan to Islamicize and take over the West is ridiculous in the extreme.”
Reading from notes on a yellow legal pad in the dining hall at Captain Tom’s, Tom Jones outlined a set of charga in a very stealthy mode,” he said. “They’ve infiltrated the judiciary. They have judges that are elected to the bench. These judges are expected to make rulings from the bench here in America according to sharia law even though it’s not a sharia court. If you’ve got a Muslim judge he’s required to try you under sharia law. These people are in high positions of influence often behind the scenes in government, academia, medicine, the media. How many of you have been to a hospital and seen the doctors that are running around in the hospital?”
“Yeah,” one of the guests at Captain Tom’s Seafood replied. “They’re not American.”
“These people start Islamic organizations,” Jones continued. “They build mosques. They build Islamic schools. They work with the progressive left in this country to advance their own agenda. And the progressive left like Obama and Hillary Clinton and that ilk, they’re all tied into this Brotherhood stuff. The Brotherhood helps them and they help the Brotherhood.”
Midway through his talk about so-called “cultural jihad” or “stealth jihad,” Jones was interrupted by a cascade of commentary from the group.
“I don’t know if everyone knows this, but the person who organized the Women’s March is Muslim — believes in sharia law,” said Robert Watkins, a former North Carolina field director for the Koch brothers-backed Americans For Prosperity who is active with the evangelical voter mobilization group Faith and Freedom Coalition, according to his Facebook page. Linda Sarsour, one of the organizers of the Women’s March who is Muslim, spoke on the same night during a panel discussion at Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem.
“All those women who showed up in DC who appear to be mainstream and supported her, raved about how she’s so great don’t realize that she’s the same one who agrees with sharia law and will be person who stands beside ’em and also the same person who slices their neck,” Watkins said.
Watkins went on to mention US Rep. Keith Ellison, the first Muslim member of US Congress who is a candidate to lead the Democratic National Committee.
“He is trying to assimilate others to the culture,” Watkins said. “That’s what Keith Ellison is doing. That’s why he didn’t take an Arabic name.”
An unidentified man in the audience chimed in: “Just as an aside, Keith Ellison’s brother is the chair of the Forsyth County Democratic Party.”
“Wow!” another man exclaimed. “Are you serious?”
“It’s here,” Jones said. “It’s in this town.”
Eric Ellison, the local Democratic Party chair, said on Friday that he wasn’t surprised to learn there was a group in the local area that was so violently opposed to Islam.
“It’s a little bit scary that they speak of violence and committing murder in open forums,” he said. “I guess we realize that terrorists come in all forms and fashions.”
During his presentation, Tom Jones made assertions about “training centers” operated by the Muslim Brotherhood in the United States since the early 1980s digressed into a wide-ranging discussion about mosques in Winston-Salem and the surrounding area, including Annoor Islamic Center in Clemmons.
“They’re already operating a madrassah there,” Jones said. “That all happened under the radar. The way I understand that that mosque happened is they had an American guy, a white guy buy that property. It was supposed to be a church. Guessr guest, who is unidentified, noted that there is a mosque on Waughtown Street in Winston-Salem, referencing the Community Mosque of Winston-Salem.
“There’s mosques being built all over the place,” Jones said, attempting to get the presentation back on track. “We’ve got to keep our eye on them.”
While del Valle was the only person at the meeting who explicitly advocated violence, others emphasized preparedness.
Elizabeth Hawkins, who attended the meeting with her husband, Mike, said they don’t call themselves a “militia,” but rather “patriots” or “preppers.” The Hawkins and other members in Yadkin County had previously conducted firearms training twice a month, but are now down to one day a month. They also operate ham radios and are interested in learning to sew up wounds. Hawkins also said her group vets prospective members before allowing them to join.
“We continue to prepare ourselves,” Hawkins said. “Even though things have kind of smoothed out with Trump, I still think we’re headed for a big fallout with the money issue.”
Jones repeatedly chided the audience to get serious.
“I don’t know how you say ‘deep doo-doo’ in Arabic, but we’re in it,” Jones concluded. “We’re in deep doo-doo, ya’ll. This is serious stuff. This is not games. These people do not play. If I put a gun to your head and ask you what you believe, you may not be able to tell, but I guarantee you these people can tell you what they believe.”
Del Valle had a ready reply: “I’ll shoot ’em before they can ask me.”
UPDATE: Ibrahim Hooper, national communications director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, says the organization “will be issuing a call for a state and federal probe of the calls to violence.” (Saturday, Feb. 18, 10:21 a.m.)

You’re getting your mass shootings mixed up. The shooting in Atlanta was done by a white man at a black church. A white man was also responsible for the mass shooting in a movie theater in Colorado. A white man was responsible for the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary. A white man was responsible for the mass shooting involving Sen. Giffords in Arizona. A white man was responsible for blowing up a federal building in Oklahoma City. But yeah, those brown outsiders, that’s who we should be afraid of.

Correction….Orlando, not Atlanta. Yes it did happen.
James Homes….a mentally disturbed individual who had been obsessed with killing for over a decade…possibly suffering schizophrenia. Yeah, he was your Colorado theater killer. Yeah, he was white….and what does that have to do with it? He didn’t target blacks, so you can’t assume he was racially motivated.
Dylann Roof….mentally disturbed child of divorce who abused drugs….just an accident waiting to happen. Yes, he was white…and? Sure, he was an acknowledged racist, but his victims were also Christians, so he could have also harbored some anti-religious views as well.
Adam Lanza…..another mentally ill individual, possible sufferer of schizophrenia killed kids of all color…not racial motivated, even though he was white…..and?
Jared Loughner….Kathy Giffords shooter…..possibly mentally unstable atheist whose politics were radical hard left at the time of the shooting….yes, he was also white, but so was Giffords……so what?
Ok, these four mentally unstable guys killed 47 people….for a variety of their own, twisted personal reasonings.
Now, did you look a the list of deaths at the hands of radical islamists in America since 1972?
By my count: approx. 3016 dead
All motivated by a barbaric political/religious philosophy….radical Islam.
47 to 3016….but of course there is no foundation in fact for being concerned at all…..
By the way doofus, you are the one trying to interject race to strengthen your weak argument and make it about racism rather than a political/religious philosophy that directs its adherents to commit violent acts of murder.

Citing a triumph of Islamic scholarship as a source on the supposedly backward savagery of that same group is obtuse to the point of being both funny and sad.
Here’s an idea–read the whole thing and then do some research on this Islamic historian and his contributions in 1377 to the foundational ideas on which the study of history is word itself is a latinization of the man’s name) which is the first, basic theoretical concept on which the very machine I’m now typing functions.
And, finally, I recommend “Holy War, Martyrdom, and Terror: Christianity, Violence, and the West” by Phillipe Buc and published by the University of Pennsylvania Press for a little flavor of the sort of atrocities all the upright followers of “The Prince of Peace” seemed to think are no big deal.

The so called contributions of Islam were plundered from conquered people. They preserved Greek and Indian discoveries but burned the library at Alexandria.
Islam is all about the money: fei, ganimah and jizya. Open the fourth volume of Sahih Bukhari to page 108 and learn how Moe got his income. Be sure to read the footnote.
Open your Qur’an to Surah Al Anfal and read 8.1, 8.41 and 8.67. To whom do the spoils belong and what was Moe’s prime motivator? In Sahih Bukhari, read the book of Khumus. What was Moe’s worst fear?
If you still need a clue, read Moe’s letter to the rulers of Ayala, found in Ibn Sa’d. In that Letter, Moe explains his intention to conquer the city.

The Muslim destruction of the library was a story told 500 years after the fact, possibly as a way for Saladin to excuse his own plundering of conquered libraries. The only (near) contemporaneous accounts of sacking of the libraries in Alexandria were by Julius Caesar (accidentally) in 48 B.C. and the Emperor Aurelian in the late 3rd century AD. The job was possibly completed by Pope Theophilious to keep the pagans down. (Those Christians, they sure do prize learning.)
And yes, the only reason we even know anything about a lot of Classical sciences and philosophy was because it was preserved by the Muslims. Good thing too–medieval Christians were way to busy making up stories about their magical zombie and his father, the wizard form outer space to care about such useless book stuff. Algebra, as a symbolic general system for solving general problems is an Islamic development based on knowledge that was lost to Christians because it wasn’t Jesus-y enough. The first techniques for solving quadratic and cubic equations are definitely Islamic.

The only knowledge prized by Muslims is knowledge of the Islamic texts, primarily the Qur’an and hadith.
The fact remains that Moe contrived Islam for his personal emolument through conquest.
Moe knew what the Arabs wanted and promised it to them as a reward for Jihad, to be delivered after they got killed. Try reading Citizen Warrior’s “Terrifying Brilliance Of Islam”.

Instead of pontificating from the pillar of ignorance, you should learn about Islam from its canonical texts. As it stands, you know nothing about it that is true.
The Koran and Sahih Bukhari have been translated to English and uploaded to the internet archive along with many other texts. Read them and read “The Book Of Jihad” At Crusader’s Armory, you will find two embeded pdf files displaying important pages from Islamic law, read those, too and get a clue.

Islam is economic, not political. Moe got his living by his spear. He collected the top twenty percent of ganimah, all of the fei and all of the Jizya resulting from raids and terrorism before he died in 632.
Driven out of Mekkah, he migrated to Yathrib which he subverted and called Medina. There he built an army and began razia on camel caravans returning from Syria to Mekkah. H soon graduated to threatening and extorting neighboring Jewish settlements and regional kings.
See his “letter to the rulers of Aqaba” for a real eye opener!

Quit the opposite. Our liberal founding fathers knew the dangers of religion mixed with government since they witnessed first hand, the oppression of the church. Thus why they ensured that we have a wall of separation built into our Constitution.
>If by “freedom” you mean killing babies,
The only babies I know of that are dying are from christians. Did you know that many states estealing others’ money
Which is religions biggest scam. I wonder how much good they could do if they actually used all that money they take in from tax-payer subsidized offerings instead of building elaborate churches and littering our interstates with crosses and statues to Jebus.
>Christianity is a threat to phony “freedom.”
Christianity is no different then Islam when it comes to freedom. It has historically been the persecutors which is why our liberal founding fathers ensure we wouldn’t have to be enslaved to it.

And many you have not read, including this from J.Q. Adams: In the seventh century of the Christian era, a wandering Arab of the
lineage of Hagar [i.e., Muhammad], the Egyptian, combining the powers
of transcendent genius, with the preternatural energy of a fanatic, and
the fraudulent spirit of an impostor, proclaimed himself as a messenger
from Heaven, and spread desolation and delusion over an extensive
portion of the earth. Adopting from the sublime conception of the
Mosaic law, the doctrine of one omnipotent God; he connected
indissolubly with it, the audacious falsehood, that he was himself his
prophet and apostle. Adopting from the new Revelation of Jesus, the
faith and hope of immortal life, and of future retribution, he humbled
it to the dust by adapting all the rewards and sanctions of his religion
to the gratification of the sexual passion. He poisoned the sources of
human felicity at the fountain, by degrading the condition of the
female sex, and the allowance of polygamy; and he declared
undistinguishing and exterminating war, as a part of his religion,
against all the rest of mankind. THE ESSENCE OF HIS DOCTRINE WAS
VIOLENCE AND LUST: TO EXALT THE BRUTAL OVER THE SPIRITUAL PART OF HUMAN
NATURE [Adam’s capital letters]….Between these two religions, thus
contrasted in their characters, a war of twelve hundred years has
already raged. The war is yet flagrant…While the merciless and
dissolute dogmas of the false prophet shall furnish motives to human
action, there can never be peace upon earth, and good will towards men.[68]

“Kill them wherever you find them” & “fight those of the disbelievers nearest you” are commands, not suggestions.

I am not whining about Islam, I am exposing and cursing it. As a backslid Methodist, I condemn pedophilia, both Catholic and Islamic. Moe was thighing Aisha for three years before he consummated their marriage. She was six years old. Open the Koran to 65.4 and discover there is a waiting period for divorced Muslim wives not yet menstruating. In Book O of Reliance Of The Traveller you can learn that there is no minimum age.
Besides being carnal, Islam is violent, intrinsically, by design and incapable of reformation.
Toleration of a belief in divine mandate to kill non-believers is suicidal.

Why are you defending the world’s largest and oldest, ongoing extortion-racket CRIME gang at all, in stead of learning about it?
Could it be because most muslims are swarthy, and you’re a racist who presumes they are so mentally inferior and simple that they don’t actually know htat what they’re doing is a crime? Are you pretending that they need your help because they are so at the mercy of their animal instincts that they just can’t help themselves but become violent whenever a mentally superior white person confuses and oppresses them?

IN context, ALL the worst Bible verses (those calling for tribal genocides, death to homosexuals, etc) were limited in scope to the temporary: ONCE, NOW, HERE, and often only applying to the Jews them selves. Contrast them to islam’s Qur’an, which demands the same things, except that they must be applied ALWAYS, for all time, EVERYWHERE, and to all non-muslims, too!
Thus it’s easy to see that the Qur’an is literally INFINITELY WORSE than even the worst bits of the old testament.

I read Shakir’s translation and that of Hilali & Khan. I looked up the most important verses in Tafsir Ibn kathir, Tafsir al-Jlalayn and tafsir Ibn Abbas.
I read “The Sealed Nectar”, the first two volumes of Ibn Sa’d and many pages of “The Life Of Muhammad”. I read the Jihad books of the six Sittah and Mishkat ul-Misabih. I also read Craig Winn’s “The Prophet Of Doom” including the “In His Own Words” appendix. Add to that volume 8 of Tabari.
Add to that the parts of “Reliance Of The Traveller”, Hedaya and Risala relevant to Jihad.
In the matter of Prophets: Jesus Christ was long gone 500 years before Moe was born. Moe’s first wife had a cousin, Ibn Waraqa, who was a Gnostic Monk. Moe plagiarized Jewish & Christian scripture and pseudagraphia obtained from Ibn Waraqa into his false faith in hopes of making it appeal to Jews and Christians.
Moe was the first Muslim. Neither Abraham, Moses, Joseph, Jonah nor Jesus were Muslims. Isa is not Jesus! The Qur’an denies Christ’s paternity, deity, crucifixion, death and resurrection. Sahih ahadith depict Jesus as inferior to Moe and his paternal half brother. A hadith in the second volume of Hayat ul-Qulub has Moe telling Khadija, on her deathbed, to greet his wives in Jannah, one of whom is Mary, Mother of Jesus!!!

“Radicals” is an abominable lie! Muhammad, after the death of Khadija, made his living by his spear: plunder. Refer to page 108 of the fourth volume of Sahih Bukhari and page 31 the fourth volume of Ibn Kathir’s “The Life Of The Prophet Muhammad” . Then turn to the Qur’an and read Surah Al-Anfal 8.1, 41 & 67. If you need more evidence, search for and read “Islam’s Mercenmary Mission”. The Qur’an defines Believers in 9.111 & 49.15 as only those who fight in Allah’s cause, which is to make Islam dominate the world.

Dajjal, using that “logic” we should add white males to the terrorist list…after all it was a white male that committed the murders in Sandy Hook, it was a white male that committed the killings in Charleston, it was a white male who committed the murders at the Colorado Theater..shall I go on…All people do not fit in these neat little boxes that society tries to shove them in…all black people are not from the ghetto, all hispanics are not illegal immigrants from Mexico, all whites are not racists, and all muslims are not terrorists. We need to stop this type thinking and talking. If we cannot see that all people are not cut out of the same mold, how can we truly identify those who have a true desire to do us harm?

Argumentum Tu-Quoque is always a logical fallacy, a diversion, not a defense.
The actions of insane or drug addled killers of any race or religion subtract nothing from the absolute unmitigated evil of Islam.
Open Muquaddimah to page 199 and discover what Ibn Khaldun, a North African Arab driven from Spain to Tunisia, had to write about Arabs and how they made their living. Compare that, especially the sentence about their sutenance being where the shadow of their lances fell to what Moe said about his provision being under the shade of his spear in page 88 of the fourth volume of Sahih Bukhari. Can you get a clue? I sadly doubt it.

Prior to 633, Egypt, Iraq, Persia, Syria & Yemen had primarily Christian populations. Change came about through conquest. If Poland had not come to the rescue of Vienna in 1686, Western Europe would have fallen pery to Muslims as Spain, Greece, Romania and others did.
Hedaya is a two volume set of Islamic law that regulated India and the Ottoman Empire. Open the second volume to page 140 and read through page 216. Each of those pages holds a clue for you. War must be carried on at all times by some party of the Muslims and infidels may be attacked without provocation. You can learn that in the first two pages.

I live in Boston. I don’t need to be reminded of the bombing or 9/11. Radicals did that. If you want to make lists, the list of atrocities done by non-Muslims will be longer.
You’re versed in the Quaran. Congratulations. So you know, like the Bible, it started with the Torah. The 3 large monotheistic religions have a common source.
Muhammed is a false profit? Not going to argue, I’m not that religious, so they are all false to me. Who is your “real” profit(s)?
I don’t believe in pedophilia either, but it is still common in the Arab world. Muhammed would be a pedophile by today’s Western standards. The Virgin Mary was 14 when she gave birth to Jesus. Does that make the Holy Spirit a pedophile? If you don’t believe in the virgin birth, is the 30 year old Joseph a pedophile?
My neighbors of 30 years are Muslim. They are great people. As is the Muslim in LA who fosters terminally ill children. As are the people our soldiers have been fighting and dying beside for 15 years.
There are 1.6 billion Muslims in the world. Like everyone else, the vast majority just want to raise their family in peace.

No, the list of atrocities by non-muslims is not longer. If you bother to do any basic research, you will discover the facts:
Islam is really an actual threat to everyone because IT says it is, not because we misinterpreted it.
According to their own Eastern histories, islam has an official 1,400 year history of “holy” lies, extortions, robberies, tortures, arsons, kindappings, slaveries, rapes and 270 million murders: that’s OVER A QUARTER-BILLION INNOCENTS SACRIFICED TO ALLAH, so far!
For a detailed breakdown of historical islamic depredations by region and era, just Google for: “Tears of Jihad.”
Islam has a larger death-tally than that of EVERYONE ELSE, both secular and religious, COMBINED, and with an historical average of less than 1% of the global population to have committed it with, too!
Do the math: 270 million divided by 1,400 is almost 200,000 per year, or over 500 per day, or over 20 per hour or about one person every three minutes being murdered by Muslims ever since Islam was founded.
So, simply and precisely because of their “THOU SHALT KILL!” cultural indoctrination, MUSLIMS ARE STILL FROM BETWEEN FOUR AND SEVERAL HUNDRED TIMES MORE LIKELY TO ENGAGE IN MURDER (and all other crimes,) THAN EVERYONE ELSE IN THE WORLD!
According to Paris-based Iranian sociologist Farhad Khosrokhavar, “of France’s 64,000 prisoners, up to 60% are Muslim. (Muslims are thought to compose only 8% of the population.)”
Based on data from 2011, Pew Research Center estimated that Muslims made up 9% of the 1,598,780 state and federal prisoners in the United States. Pew also reported that as of 2010, about 0.8% of the U.S. population was Muslim, up from 0.6% in 1990. Data allegedly provided by the federal Bureau of Prisons reported that, as of 1997, Muslims made up 7.27% of the federal prison population.
In other words, Muslims are overrepresented in the French prison population by 7.5 times their percentage of the population. In the United States, although their overall percentage is smaller, Muslims are overrepresented in the prison population by 11.25 times their percentage of the population.
Here’s the most recent American prison-inmate-by-religion stats:
US Inmate population religious preferences
58% Christian
29% Muslim
13% Other (including Atheist)
Since muslims are at most 3% of the total population in America, it’s obvious they are TEN TIMES more likely than their numbers would indicate, to be in prison.
And I believe Americans in general poll at 80% Christian, so they are under-represented in prison, by at least 30% or one third less than one might have otherwise expected, based on population percentage alone.
But it’s not surprising, really:
ALL muslims are criminals: by their own rules, they must endorse in public every word in the Qur’an, which tells them that they are so “superior” to all non-muslims, that it’s not only their right, but also their holy duty to their god, to extort, enslave, and murder all the non-muslims in the world, simply for the “csus-them hate-crime book, endorsing a permanent might-makes-right death-threat.

There are nine ayat in the Qur’an which expressly forbid friendship, alliance & partnership with kuffar. One of them licences deception for self protection and promotion of Islam. Many Armenians had ‘Muslim friends’ until Pasha issued the order to kill them, then their blood flowed.
As Churchill wrote in The River War, individual Muslims may have splendid qualities but Islam in a man is more dangerous than rabies in a dog.

Innocence is an exclusive attribute ood demanding it of them,) kills someone else, even if they admit that, without such a god existing, killing people who had never done anything wrong to them first would indeed be the criminal act of murder, does their birth-indoctrination or adult ‘belief’ still give them the right to be found innocent or at least not guilty for their otherwise crimes?!
Hell, NO!

Exactly! No self-determined muslim believes in any sovereign national governments nor countries at all, ever!
Muslims are never patriots; they regard all national sovereignties as temporary, man-made false idols which must all be eventually destroyed and replaced with the one-world global muslim Ummah, to be ruled by their theocratic caliphate, and their duty is to wage offensive war to extort, enslave, and murder all the non-muslims.te of the American Constitution:
The Constitution is not a suicide pact. It does not require us to harbor enemy combatants and fifth columns.
Most basically: Since islam requires its muslim members to adhere to criminal principles which are in direct conflict with the US Constitution, and Article II, Section 1 of the Constitution requires the President elect to take the Oath or Affirmation to: “… preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States” the only sane and logical way to keep that oath, is to REQUIRE the crime-gang of islam be banned!
For instance:
Congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of religion or abridging the free exercise thereof.
Islam demands that it be the only recognized religion, that all others be suppressed.
That contravenes the Constitution.
The first amendment also provides congress shall make no law abridging freedom of speech and press. Islam demands the death penalty for reviling Allah, Moe or Islam.
Islam contravenes the Constitution.
Art. 6 proscribes religious test for office. Islamic law requires that all officers be Muslim, declaring that infidels have no right to authority even over infidels.
Islam contravenes the Constitution.
Can a good Muslim be a good American?
Theologically – no. Because his allegiance is to Allah, The moon god of Arabia .
Religiously – no.Because no other religion is accepted by His Allah except Islam.(Quran,2:256)(Koran)
Scripturally – no. Because his allegiance is to the five Pillars of Islam and the Quran.
Geographically – no.Because his allegiance is to Mecca , to which he turns in prayer five times a day.
Socially – no. Because his allegiance to Islam forbids him to make friends with Christians or Jews.
Politically – no. Because he must submit to the mullahs (spiritual leaders), who teach annihilation of Israel and destruction of America, the great Satan.
Domestically – no. Because he is instructed to marry four women and beat and scourge his wife when she disobeys him. (Quran 4:34 )
Intellectually – no. Because he cannot accept the American Constitution since it is based on Biblical principles and he believes the Bible to be corrupt.
Philosophically – no. Because Islam, Muhammad, and the Quran do not allow freedom of religion and expression. Democracy and Islam cannot co-exist. Every Muslim government is either dictatorial or autocratic.
Spiritually – no. Because when we declare ‘one nation under God,’The Christian’s God is loving and kind, while Allah is NEVER referred to as Heavenly father, nor is he ever called love in the Quran’s 99 excellent names. … but he is called The Great Deceiver.

According to their own Qur’an, YES, they are ALL required to murder all the non-muslims in the world – just not all at once.
That same Qur’an also divides muslims into two groups: real, devout muslims, and hypocrites who are basically infidels too.
Whatever Captain Khan did is now belied by his jihadi father.
Whatever motivated muslims to save American soldiers (most likely the thought of a monetary reward and help against their own tribal enemies, in other words, self-interest, not altruism) is only anecdotal and has nothing to do with islam’s core doctrines.
Finally, sura 2:62 and all other “moderate” ones were abrogated.

really? And just WHERE in the US constitution is that?
Oh, I forgot – you don’t have the INTELLIGENCE to know, do you?
The Citizenship Clause is the first sentence of Section 1 in the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, which states that “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.”
1st Amendment of the Constituton – Congress shall make NO LAW RESPECTING AN ESTABLISHMENT OF RELIGION, or PROHIBITING THE FREE EXERCISE thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
So, just WHERE does it EVER say in the US constitution that Muslims are NOT citizens?
btw – where in the LAW is RELIGION EVER a requirement for Citizenship?
Oh, I forgot – you don’t have the intelligence to understand the above do you?

So what? You’re describing relatively tiny battles within the war which was declared by Muhammad against all of humanity over 1,400 years ago. So sure, maybe Bush attacked Iraq first, in recent timees, but then again, Iraq is part of the muslim ummah which was conquered and invaded by islam and stolen from Greece Rome and Byzantium first.
Since islam is always in a state of perpetual offensive aggressive war against all that is not-islam in the world, forever, then it doesn’t really matter if and when we choose to by definition counter-attack them – they, by only their own rules, are ALWAYS guilty of the initial violent aggression, and so are also ALWAYS subject to our just, even if belated, defensive counter-attacking reprisals!

No, Unk. For the sake of clarity: Muslims are engaged in perpetual war against the rest of the human race. Our governments do not recognize that war and are not prosecuting it. For individuals and militias to attempt to prosecute that war, except when immediately under attack, entails criminal penalties.
Assault, battery, murder, arson and malicious destruction of property are violations of law regardless of the identity of the victim.
UncleVladdi says:
February 24, 2017 at 10:10 pm
If someone sneaks into your home, you’re allowed to use violent force (aka “assault” and “batter” them) to effect their removal. If they have been known to previously threaten you and yours with death, there is no legal duty on you to adhere to their time-table and wait for them to initiate any further violent force; they can be killed (not “murdered,” as you put it, since ‘murder’ involves unjustified killings of innocent others). And property destruction is also one’s right (just ask black mayors LOL) including by application of arson, if for instance someone else parks tn (ie ‘malice’) or none at all.
Government is supposed to be the servant of us individual citizens, (not our master) acting as the largest collectively-owned insurance company. is a great idea if and when it doesn’t compete with (muhat only it is qualified to regulate food growing everywhere, much less to restrict and deny private individuals from growing or stockpiling their own food.
Same goes for defending every other need: government can defend the country, but not restrict the citizens’ rights to also own and bear their own arms to defend them selves; government can and should enhance private defense, but never replace it!
Any “laws” to the contrary, are in fact merely ‘legal’ crimes!
Dajjal says:
February 24, 2017 at 11:52 pm
In home invasion cases, the doctrine of reasonable force applies. Shooting the burglar can get you in front of a judge.
The Muslim at large, not in your domicile, is not recognized by the government as an invader so an assault on him remains a criminal offense under the law.
Likewise the mosque is not recognized by the government as a rajab so burning it constitutes arson under the law.

You are using the fallacy “argument from Authority” by positing that only what a gang of self-interested politicians say is the real law. I am using logic: Who says one is under any obligation to someone who is attacking you, at all? Proportional force is nonsense! Only the victim is constrained by it: A mugger throws a punch, and you are limited to … what? Merely blocking it? *Maybe* even throwing one (but few shots at you with a gun, then runs off – why shouldn’t you shoot them in the back as they flee? You cannot know their intentions (that’d be mind-reading!) So for all you know, their gun jammed or they ran out of bullets, and fully intend to hide behind the nearest parked car to un-jam it or re-load, and then sneak around from behind you to resume shooting and finish you off!
The point here is: Once they have chosen to break the one and only real “social contract” aka the Golden Rule of Law, to Not Attack FIRST, that contract IS broken, and, having abdicated their responsibility to it, they have also thereby voided their own rights to be protected by it.
Remember: When someone takes a poke at you or shoots at you, their own chosen intent is what defines their actions as a crime! There is no false civil-law test of whether any damage actually occurred; even if and when someone shoots a gun at you but misses, it’s not a case of “No Harm/No Foul!” but it’s still ATTEMPTED MURDER. Evenly aren’t willing to talk it through with you first.
You therefore cannot any longer trust them – to either limit their physical attack to “mere” battery, or maybe kidnapping, etc – ALL you know is they are criminals intent on harming you!
Therefore, you cannot be held responsible to guessing the extent of their intentions beyond what they themselves have already demonstrated: they mean to injure you, cause you pain, and destroy your body.
You may therefore kill them – and it’s not “murder” it’s more along the lines of a just and moral execution, because like all state-sanctioned executions, it occurs after the fact of their having chosen to break the Rule and commit the crime.
Dajjal says:

The fleeing felon rule has sent some law enforcement officers to prison for using excessive force. In some jurisdictions you can shoot an armed hom invader inside the front door but not on the porch or in the yard.
Mohammad Camel, whether on the sidewalk, in the street, a park or the shopping mall is not the same as the armed robber breaking in your door to plunder your home. Making the first move on him or setting his mosque alight is a felony offense. Paranoia does not generate a self defense alibi.
Omar Mateeen, before he demonstrated hostile intent, was not fair game under the law. Once he drew his weapon and began firing, that status changed.
UncleVladdi says:
February 27, 2017 at 11:49 pm
Well, Muhammad’s islam and its sharia derivatives (notable the Hedaya) recognize “infidel lands” as foreign countries. As such, their clear intent is to make war on and withing them. Since war is criminal assault and attempted murder and mass-theft writ large, the laws regarding the criminal inside the front door apply to any and all “muslims” (hostile foreign combatants) already within your borders.

By their own rules, it is impossible to attack any muslims “first.”
Muslims believe God is jealous of his uniqueness and so will never choose to let us ascend to his level, to ‘become as gods’ as the Jews believe, or as His beloved sons, as Christians do.
Muslims believe God won’t (not that He can’t, but that He never will) improve us, only treat us as disposable toys.
Muslims thus slander their allegedly ‘perfect’ god, having no hope in a future in which anything will ever improve, and although they also declare Him to be unknown AND unknowable, they also hypocritically insist that they know He will never love them.
They thus choose to focus on the static idol of what is, refusing to even try to improve this world because to do so would be to offend their god as they try to do better than him, which will incur his jealous wrath and ‘force’ him to undermine their efforts, to further deceive them, and cast them into an even worse level of hell anyway.
Therefore in islam, their god IS the devil, and their version of a devil is the still quiet voice of false hope (God).
They don’t really believe in a future any better than this one; even their paradise is full of pain and violence and they are subject to reincarnation – which fearsome state Muhammad said in his false pride he desired, as in
“Screw you – I wanted to do that, too!”
Islam IS Muhammad’s hypocrisy, and his Qur’an is only evidence of his trying to pre-empt his inevitable doom by Submitting to it – islam is the embodiment of pretending to control Muhammad’s fears BY causing those very same, worst-case scenario problems (antagonizing everyone else into attacking him) which cause the pains he feared the most!
Therefore, by design, islam and its muslims ALWAYS attack first!

and just WHEN did any religion, regardless of what it is or whomever demands it, EVER become the law over that of the secular US Constitution in this country?
NO religion is the law over that of the US Constitution – not Christianity, not Islam, not Judaism – NONE.
All are equal – NONE above the rest, regardless of any demands from anyone at anytime.

Why are Americans constantly putting Ten Commands on Court Houses, and IGWT on government vehicles and keeping the Bable and prayers in public schools, and have tax free privileges. America is still controlled by the fools from the bronze age.
What is worse is that Islam has learned how to play the American game and will overpower the uneducated idiot Christians using the laws.
You all do realise that by continuing to demand special privileges for your religion, here Christians, that you keep the door open for the Islamists to do exactly the same; and if you have been paying attention they are demanding a whole hell of a lot more, especially with their Sharia, and we all will have no option but to submit as we still live under the present slanted position of Christian precedence and dominance.
It is highly suggested that we continue secularising our government and all public facilities, especially our schools.
Secularisation will give us a solid, sensible and logical platform instead of making it look like some sort of absurd religious crusade.
They will stomp all over us!!
By secularising, you put a stop to Islam spreading throughout our society. Islam spreads by changing all the laws and traditions, and by force of its clerics (same as the Salem examples of control and fear)
You would also have the added benefit of the non-religious stopping our continuing efforts to try to eliminate the absurd and unfair inequalities of religious privileges and special exceptions.
This will not affect your ‘freedom of religion’.

Hatred: wala wal bara: love and hate for the sake of Allah, part of the aquidah of Islam. Slavery: one of the purposes of Moe’s raids
Out of context: the Qur’anic imperatives to attack and conquer are not out of context; they are timeless and without geographic limits. They are confirmed in hadith and codified in shari’ah.
Name calling: the last resort of the ignornat bigot who has no facts or logic to support his prejudice. You stand exposed!

Jews & Christians are not raising Hell on a national, regional and global scale “in the name of religion” as Muslims are.
Christianity was co-opted by the Roman Empire and corrupted by venal clerics. It had a reformation.
Moe said he was sent with the sword before the hour to see that none be worshiped but Allah. He said his provision was under the shade of his spear. He said he who testifies saves his wealth and life from me.
Allah sanctifies, promises, commands and delivers terror. Moe bragged about winning with terror. Allah demands and Moe delivered genocide.

You need to sober up or obtain a brain, likely both. Nothing done at any time, in any place by anyone else subracts from the evil designed into Islam which can not be reformed.
Islam was created for the emolument of its founder through accrual of ganimah, fei & Jizya and perpetuated by his caliphs for their financial benefit.

While you apparently think preparing to defend one’s self and innocent others from murderous criminals’ perpetual death-threats IS some sort of a “crime!” Right, Sport?
You need to get a clue, so here’s a HINT for you:
Saying “I will kill you for my god!” is a criminal threat.
Saying “When you try, I will have to kill you!” is a warning.

False premise. He didn’t say “When you try, I will have to kill you.” He’s threatening an unprovoked attack on innocent people.
By your logic, IF saying “I will kill you for my god” is a criminal threat, then saying “my only recommendation is to start killing the hell out them,” and “I’m ready to start taking people out.” is a criminal threat as well.

No, that’s the “unnamed” person mentioned in the article.
Muslims (and islam itself) constantly threaten (criminally extort) all the non-muslim “infidels” in the world with being enslaved and murdered if we don’t convert.
And it’s VERY DELIBERATE.
Islamophobia is the official goal of islam itself. Islam openly endorses terrorism in order to foment a fear of muslims in all infidels. Their most official sharia manual, the Hedaya, openly proclaims that all muslims, even muslim toddlers, are to be regarded as “Objects of Fear!” by all infidels, to the extent that said infidels will all hurry to cross the street to avoid even said muslim toddlers!
The Qur’an is what you’d get if Hitler had written the bible.
The Qur’an is a clearly-written hate-crime expressing a permanent death-threat: it tells it’s muslim mind-slaves that they are in fact SO “superior” to all the non-members of their war and plunder cult, that it’s not only their right, but also their holy duty to their god, to extort, enslave, and murder all the non-muslims in the world, simply for the “crime” of not being muslims!
So “muslims” are nothing more than criminals, pedophile murderers who dress up in the robes and beards of religious men, waving fake bibles, yelling about “god” to cover up their criminal natures to get closer to their victims.
And they back up their constant criminal threats with constant murderous criminal actions, too.
The TV online and print media is constantly full of reports of muslim atrocity from everywhere on earth, every single day.
The Qur’an and islam itself should be banned, and all muslims resisted and exiled, because everything muslims pretend to believe is “holy” is already a crime!
The Qur’an is more than just another flawed book of confusing, contradictory superstitious nonsense, it’s evil.
It should never be allowed by backwards people to be considered “illegal” to accuse these criminals (muslims) of their crimes, allegedly because the painful truth might offend them or hurt their feelings, and so “make” them commit even more crimes!
No problem was ever solved by ignoring it, and we aren’t doing even any of these muslims (whose own ancestors were among Muhammad’s first victims) any favours by going along with any of their historic lies and alibi excuses for their crimes.
Pretending islam is just another religion like all the others, hijacked by some con-men, is wrong.
That’s only a parochial, Western-based and ethnocentrist approach to islam.
Islam is NOT only a real religion which can be and is sometimes only occasionally misunderstood and/or taken advantage of by a few evil persons.
It’s not also – as are all the other, “real” religions – only an opinion presented as a fact (i.e: only a simple case of delusive criminal fraud)!
Islam is really an actual threat to everyone because IT says it is, not because we misinterpreted it.
According to their own Eastern histories, islam has an official 1,400 year history of “holy” lies, extortions, robberies, tortures, arsons, kindappings, slaveries, rapes and 270 million murders: that’s OVER A QUARTER-BILLION INNOCENTS SACRIFICED TO ALLAH, so far!
For a detailed breakdown of historical islamic depredations by region and era, just Google for: “Tears of Jihad.”
Islam has a larger death-tally than that of EVERYONE ELSE, both secular and religious, COMBINED, and with an historical
average of less than 1% of the global population to have committed it with, too!
Do the math: 270 million divided by 1,400 is almost 200,000 per year, or over 500 per day, or over 20 per hour or about one person every three minutes being murdered by Muslims ever since Islam was founded.
So, simply and precisely because of their “THOU SHALT KILL!” cultural indoctrination, MUSLIMS ARE STILL FROM BETWEEN FOUR AND SEVERAL HUNDRED TIMES MORE LIKELY TO ENGAGE IN MURDER (and all other crimes,) THAN EVERYONE ELSE IN THE WORLD!
According to Paris-based Iranian sociologist Farhad Khosrokhavar, “of France’s 64,000 prisoners, up to 60% are Muslim.
(Muslims are thought to compose only 8% of the population.)”
Based on data from 2011, Pew Research Center estimated that Muslims made up 9% of the 1,598,780 state and federal prisoners in the United States. Pew also reported that as of 2010, about 0.8% of the U.S. population was Muslim, up from 0.6% in 1990. Data allegedly provided by the federal Bureau of Prisons reported that, as of 1997, Muslims made up
7.27% of the federal prison population.
In other words, Muslims are overrepresented in the French prison population by 7.5 times their percentage of the population. In the United States, although their overall percentage is smaller, Muslims are overrepresented in the prison population by 11.25 times their percentage of the population.
Here’s the most recent American prison-inmate-by-religion stats:
US Inmate population religious preferences
58% Christian
29% Muslim
13% Other (including Atheist)
Since muslims are at most 3% of the total population in America, it’s obvious they are TEN TIMES more likely than their numbers would indicate, to be in prison.
And I believe Americans in general poll at 80% Christian, so they are under-represented in prison, by at least 30% or one third less than one might have otherwise expected, based on population percentage alone.
But it’s not surprising, really:
ALL muslims are criminals: by their own rules, they must endorse in public every word in the Qur’an, which tells them that they are so “superior” to all non-muslims, that it’s not only their right, but also their holy duty to their god, to extort, enslave, and murder all the non-muslims in the world, simply for the “crime” of not being muslims:
“Slay the non-muslims wherever you find them,” (Qur’an 9:5), “Strike upon the necks and strike from them every fingertip,” (Qur’an 8:12) and “Fight them until there is no unbelief and the religion, all of it, is for Allah” (Qur’an 8:39).
And they have no choice – islam isn’t cafeteria catholicism, it’s all or nothing (sura 2:85) and so if they give evidence they aren’t toeing the line, the others must murder them for hypocrisy (4:86).

If you had enough ambition to read Surah At-Taubah, you could discover that to them, this world is but play and passtime, the real deal is in Jannah after they die. Admission to Jannah is the “supreme success” and the ticket price is being killed fighting in Allah’s cause.

Equality & freedom are for citizens and lawful resident aliens, not foreigners. Non-resident aliens have no constitutional advantage.
Islam is entirely incompatible with the constitution! It does not allow free speech, freedom of religion or gender equality. It considers the life and wealth of infidels to be forfeit to it.
I disrespectfully direct doubters, deniers & dissenters to “Reliance Of The Traveller And Tools Of The Worshiper”, Book O and versions were written down.
There were no grand central universities to organise the many various versions of these origin stories.
They were for entertainment and to answer the many mysteries of our universe since there was no science yet.
This is the old Testament.
The ‘new’ Testes is also hearsay since these letters, ‘gospels’ and stories were written by the loyal faithful, not by objective historians at that particular time, or by any contemporary writers, and written many years after the supposed events of this mythical Jesus. Thus, there is no verifiable evidence of a Jesus.

Ann Lui and Mimi Zeiger - Approaching Citizenship
Hello World?
05
JAN 2018
Why the talk is inspiring?
Co-curators of the U.S. Pavilion at the 2018 Venice Architecture Biennale, Ann Lui and Mimi Zeiger, will give insight into the curatorial practices and research leading into Dimensions of Citizenship. Interrogating the spatial conditions of design and citizenship, their exhibition will present works by architects, designers, artists, and thinkers who are responding to today’s shifting modes of citizenship, and putting forth visions of future ways of belonging.
The talk is a part of “The Swamp Pavilion” - Lithuanian representation in 16th International Architecture Exhibition - La Biennale di Venezia.
The talk will take take place on January 5th in the National Gallery of Art, Konstitucijos ave. 22, Vilnius.
The talk will start at 20:00 and will be in English. Event is free.
SPEAKER
Ann Lui and Mimi Zeiger

She holds a B.Arch from Cornell University and a SMArchS from MIT’s History, Theory and Criticism program, where her research focused on corporate architecture in the postwar period. Previously, Ann practiced at offices including SOM, Bureau Spectacular, and Morphosis Architects. She was Assistant Editor of OfficeUS Atlas (Lars Muller, 2015), co-edited MIT’s journal Thresholds (MIT SA+P, 2015), and is editing a forthcoming volume with Gediminas Urbonas on the role of architects and artists in the civic realm, titled Public Space? Lost and Found.
RECOMMENDS TO READ
Wendy Brown - Walled States, Waning Sovereignty, China Miéville - The City and the City
Why the book is worth reading?
One is political science, the other is a novel, but read in tandem Walled States, Waning Sovereignty and The City and the City unpack the paradoxes and impossibilities of hardened borders. Both books suggest complex territories of statehood and belonging. Brown’s concrete border walls are increasingly fortified even as global phenomena elude efforts to divide. In Mieville’s novel, fictional twin city states occupy the same geographic space. Citizens of each live separately, in fear of the “Breach” between peoples. Ingrained cultural norms produce a divide between self and other—a black mirror for contemporary conditions of citizenship.

How News Is Repeated. And Repeated. And …
An advanced class I teach at our college is full of bright future leaders – and none of them read a newspaper. As a public relations professional I actually find that heartening as I hope it means they look to multiple resources for news – almost all of them online. This next generation will be very different, but I believe they are on the right track too. The trick was for the public relations person to know the journalists and use that relationship to have credibility when

12 Predictions for 2012 – a dozen positive marketing trends for the new year
#1 – That’s Easy – a slogan popularized by Staples serves as a mantra for today’s consumer. “Make it easy on me and I will respond.” Think food trucks that come to neighborhoods, bank deposits scanned and deposited with a smart phone, voice activation and high tech jewelry that monitors our fitness levels thus compelling us to do. #2 – It’s all about location – and that doesn’t just mean real estate any more. Value in local-everything will grow. Don’t be surprised when fa

A virtual dialer is a communications tool used by customer service employees such as virtual receptionists, call center agents, or telemarketing service representatives which give them the ability to perform outbound telephone calls without entering a telephone number for each call. This electronic device can be programmed to call a telephone number by pressing a specific button. By using an automatic dialing system to automatically communicate between any two points in a telephone network, the customer service agent can wait until he/she hears a predetermined response before handling the telephone call.
A virtual dialer is commonly used by call center agents.
Virtual dialers can provide multiple software options such as understanding a live person, busy signals, and reaching a voice mail system. For instance, the dialer can be programmed to keep dialing a busy signal until a live person answers. Also, the telephone menus can provide the option to be placed on the "Do Not Call" list and avoid the possibility of a company receiving penalties. A schedule system can show the exact date and time a telephone call was placed and if the call was properly handled per company guidelines.
Customer service productivity is increased by using a virtual dialer.
Cost-effective advantages are obtained when using a virtual dialer. Productivity is increased since limited repetitive telephone calls are made by the customer service staff in a call center. The call center staff can be assigned to various client accounts during a scheduled work shift instead of a small number of clients. Automatic dialing software prices can range in cost and the length of service based on a company's particular needs.
Telemarketing services use virtual dialers to help increase productivity.
There are different uses for a virtual dialer. A prerecorded message can be played using a virtual dialer until a connection is established and a potential client can listen to a list of menu choices before responding. This is a common choice for sales leads such as insurance leads, mortgage leads, and real estate leads to allow a potential client the chance to learn more about a company's products and services. This would reduce a company's expenses since a targeted client list is established for future marketing campaigns.
Another option for a virtual dialer is a small business such as a flower shop, professional organizer, or restaurant who rents to a potential list of customers to increase holiday business. Multiple telephone numbers may be called at one time until a client picks up his/her telephone and a company representative explains any holiday discounts.
Using a virtual dialer saves an organization time and money which can allow it to streamline operations and invest in more staff and technology and compete effectively in a global marketplace.
Receptionists who must make a number of phone calls may utilize a virtual dialer.

“I met Bob after interviewing about about a dozen general contractors. They all give you the same pitch about “watch out for low-ball bids” and “the construction industry is crazy right now” blah blah blah. I was building a large custom home. It has an indoor sport court, secrete tunnels, etc. Needless to say, I needed someone who knew what they were doing. Bob is the reason I did not go crazy. I cannot think of a single instance on the entire project when Bob did not meet a deadline he said he would meet. There were things on my plans that looked great on paper but did not make sense once constructed. Bob readily pointed out concerns and treated the project as if he were building his own home. Even though he relied on sub contractors, he was at my house almost every single day checking in on his guys and making sure they were getting the job done right.
Let me tell you about Bob staying ON BUDGET. With only one exception, Bob’s final invoice came in at or below budget. The one exception was not Bob’s fault at all. My lot had had a ton of fill dirt and South Jordan City made me dig down a few extra feet and bring in gravel. Funny enough, before we even dug the hole, Bob told me that he was concerned the lot I bought had a ton of fill dirt and that it might be a problem. Bob would get several bids from different subs, and would negotiate down the price. Even though our contract was a cost plus, Bob went out of his way to get the price as low as he could.
The finished project is phenomenal. The intricate work Bob did turned out perfect. I do not have one single bad thing to say about my project.
I hope I never have to build a home again, but if I do, there is only one general contractor in Utah I would uses. Thanks Bob. We love our home.”

After United Nations’ official declaration in November, 2009, Mandela day is celebrated on July 18- marking the birth anniversary of first elected President of free South Africa and a human rights lawyer, Nelson Mandela. As an international peacemaker, he fought for social justice for 67 years.
Here are five lesser known facts about him:
Mandela’s birth name was Rolihlahla. In his Xhosa tribe, the name means a troublemaker. The name “Nelson” was given to him by his teacher on his first day of elementary school in 1920s when African children were given English names so colonial masters could pronounce them easily.
When Mandela was eluding authorities during his fight against apartheid, he disguised himself in various ways, including as a chauffeur. The press nicknamed him “the Black Pimpernel” because of his police evasion tactics. “I became a creature of the night. I would keep to my hideout during the day, and would emerge to do my work when it became dark,” he says in his biography, “Long Walk to Freedom.”
Besides politics, Mandela’s other passion was boxing. “I did not like the violence of boxing. I was more interested in the science of it – how you move your body to protect yourself, how you use a plan to attack and retreat, and how you pace yourself through a fight,” he says in his biography.
He studied law at the University of Witwatersrand in Johannesburg and opened the nation’s first Black law firm in the city in 1952.
Mandela wasn’t removed from the US terror watch list until 2008 – at the age of 89. He and other members of the African National Congress were placed on it because of their militant fight against apartheid.

; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind;
Neither as being lords over God’s heritage, but being ensamples to the flock. (I Peter 5:2-3)
INTRODUCTION
Another analogy or natural parallel illustrating leadership is that of a shepherd. In the natural world, a shepherd is one who cares for sheep. A "fold" is a group or flock of
sheep. In the spiritual world, people are compared to sheep. We are either sheep who have gone astray spiritually (Isaiah 53:6) or who have become part of the "fold" or
"flock" of the Lord.
Jesus referred to Himself as the "Good Shepherd" and explained in detail what
shepherding involves. This example is one of the greatest illustrations of spiritual
leadership (see John 10). To be an effective leader, you must not only know the Good Shepherd and be related to Him personally, you must also learn how to lead like a
shepherd.
Peter confirms that we are to lead like shepherds:
Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof… (I Peter 5:2)
PRINCIPLES OF SHEPHERDING
Since Jesus called Himself the "Good Shepherd,” then we must study His example of
ministry to understand principles of shepherding . Turn to John 10 in your Bible and use it to guide you as you study these basic principles of shepherding:
ONE FOLD, ONE SHEPHERD:
The first principle that must be understood is that there is only one fold and one shepherd. The "fold" is the Church which is composed of all born again believers. The "shepherd" is Jesus Christ. There is only one way into the fold, and that is through Jesus:
I am the door; by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. (John 10:9)
…and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd. (John 10:16)
In the natural world, human shepherds divide their flocks from other flocks because it is easier and more practical to care for them. They can only be responsible and care for so many. This is true also in spiritual leadership . But in reality, there is only one fold. It is made up of all true believers who belong to the Good Shepherd, Jesus Christ. As a leader or "shepherd,” you are actually an "under-shepherd.” You serve over part of His flock "under" the direction of the Good Shepherd .
Always remember that divisions of denomination, organization, and local church fellowships are made by man and exist only to permit personal care and practical organization . In reality , there is only one fold .
Do not try to separate "your flock" from other people in the flock of the Good Shepherd by denominationalism. Do not be concerned with building "your flock" of denomination or the local fellowship. Be concerned with building the flock of the Good Shepherd . Do not set rules and regulations of man to exclude some sheep. Jesus declares, "Whosoever will may come,” as long as they come through the door of the Lord Jesus Christ.
God’s fold is not exclusive. The door is open to all of His sheep:
And other sheep, I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice, and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd. (John 10:16)
SHEEP ARE GIVEN BY GOD:
Because there is only one fold, all sheep (followers) are given by God:
My Father, which gave them (the sheep) me, is greater than all… (John 10:29)
Followers are only entrusted to your care. In reality, they belong to God.
SOME SHEEP WILL NOT FOLLOW:
There is a sad fact of which you must be aware as a shepherd. Some who are called will refuse to follow. Jesus said:
But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep… (John 10:26)
There will be some who are called but will not follow. They will refuse to become part of
the fold . It is a sad fact, but true. Do not let this discourage you . Lead those who will
follow.
THE SHEPHERD KNOWS HIS SHEEP:
Jesus said:
I am the good shepherd and know my sheep, and am known of mine. (John 10:14)
In the time of Christ’s ministry, shepherds had a very personal relationship with their sheep. The shepherd was there at the birth of the sheep and he guided and cared for it throughout its lifetime . To be an effective leader, you must know the people entrusted to your care. You must develop a personal relationship with them. Jesus said the Good Shepherd "calleth His own sheep by name" (John 1 0:3).
THE SHEEP KNOW THE SHEPHERD:
Not only does the shepherd know his sheep, the sheep know the shepherd:
My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. (John 10:27)
Jesus said that the sheep know the voice of the shepherd. They listen and follow because they know and trust him .
As a leader, you must build relationships of love and trust with your followers. To do this, you must be with your sheep and be available to them, not separated from them. You
must conduct your own life so that the sheep can follow you as you follow Christ:
Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ. (I Corinthians 11:1)
People do not follow you merely because you are assigned as a leader. You must gain their trust in order to lead them . You do this by letting them get to know you.
THE SHEPHERD CARES FOR THE SHEEP:
Good shepherds care for their sheep. You must care for the souls of the sheep. You must see that their "souls are restored" to right relationship with God:
He restoreth my soul. (Psalms 23:3)
Caring for sheep includes comforting them in times of sorrow and need. The staff of the shepherd was used to reach out and catch sheep and draw them in close for comfort and examination (Psalms 23:4).
Caring involves directing people to the Good Shepherd who is able to provide all of their needs:
The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. (Psalms 23:1)
In speaking of the care of the Lord as his spiritual shepherd, David said:
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. (Psalm 23:2)
When sheep are well cared for, they will lie down and be content. Sheep in the natural world, as well as the spiritual world, will lie down only if they are:
Free From Fear: Fear of man or the enemy will scatter the sheep. You must teach the sheep that…
God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. (I Timothy 1:7)
Free From Friction With Other Sheep: Sheep who are fighting each other cannot rest or feed. They also do not reproduce spiritually. When sheep fought in the natural world in Bible times, the shepherd would put oil on their heads. This would make them slick with grease so they could not bump their heads together and fight. Teach the sheep to fight the
enemy, not each other. Smear the oil of the Holy Spirit on their heads!
Free Of Pests: In the natural world, there are different types of pests that infest the wool
of sheep and cause sickness and discomfort. There are certain flies that attack sheep and
leave eggs that hatch, then the baby flies crawl into the head and cause blindness and
death.
David said that the shepherd "anointed his head with oil" (Psalm 23:5). In the natural
world, shepherds used oil to cleanse the sheep of sickness, disease, and infections. In the spiritual world , pests can be compared to sin. Sin will cause spiritual blindness and death. The oil of the Holy Spirit must be applied to cleanse sheep from the pests of sin.
Free From Hunger And Thirst: If you want sheep to remain in the fold, you must feed
them spiritually. The leader must take the sheep to green pastures and feed them with the truth of God’s Word:
Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof… (I Peter 5:2 )
It is not enough to just lead people to green pastures. You must make them lie down and abide in them . You must prepare the table with the good things of God and set it before them (Psalms 23:5 ). You must lead the sheep to the everlasting waters (John 4 ) that will quench their thirst. Fill their spiritual cups to overflowing with the Word (Psalms 23 :5).
In the natural world, if sheep are thirsty they will set out in search of water. If they are not led to good water, they will drink bad water. The shepherd goes before them and checks for poisonous plants growing near streams and for bad water. As a shepherd, you must lead the sheep to good water. Jesus said:
If any man thirst, let him come unto me and drink… (John 7:37)
Jeremiah spoke of "cisterns that hold no water.” Emptiness cannot be filled except by the water of life (Jeremiah 2:13).
It is interesting to note in Psalms 23:2 that the shepherd leads to "still waters.” Still
waters means silent, but running water. Here the water is pure. It is not standing water which is corrupt and filthy . It is fresh. But it is not troubled , nor the rapidly rolling falls which can be dangerous. This speaks of stable doctrine which is not moved by shifting winds of experience or popular theology.
THE SHEPHERD DISCIPLINES THE SHEEP:
Caring for sheep involves discipline. The rod which shepherds carried was used to prod the sheep into the right way. It probably did not feel good to be poked in the side by the rod , but it was necessary .
The rod of the shepherd is a natural example of the rod of the authority of God’s Word which is carried by spiritual shepherds. The rod provides discipline. It does not always feel good, but it is necessary.
Leading involves discipline, reproof, and correction to keep sheep on the right path.
When a sheep strays, discipline and caring involves going after them and bringing them back to the fold (Luke 15). You must lead sheep from sin into righteousness:
…He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness… (Psalms 23:3)
In the natural world, sheep left to themselves turn to their own ways. They will graze the same area until it is ruined or they will scatter in all directions. The same is true of men
and women:
All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on Him the iniquity of us all. (Isaiah 53:6)RD HELPS CAST DOWN SHEEP:
In the natural world, a "cast down" sheep is one that has rolled over on its back and cannot get up by itself. It is an easy prey for animals and it is helpless. The shepherd must come along and prod it with the rod and motivate it to get back up on its feet.
Both sheep and believers become "cast down" when:
They Settle Down In Ease: In the natural world , sheep sometimes become cast down
when they get into nice green pasture area and are happy and contented. They roll over on their back, kick their legs in pleasure .. .and cannot get up again.
In the spiritual world, believers often settle down in material ease. They get involved with pleasures and riches of the world. They are unconcerned about God, His Kingdom, and lost souls . When this happens they become ineffective for God and easy prey for the enemy. To help such sheep, you must focus their attention on eternal values and
motivate them for the work of the Kingdom .
They Have Too Much Wool: When the woolly fur of sheep has grown too long, brambles
and thorns start clinging to it and the sheep become weighted down with these things,
becoming an easy prey for enemies. To help this "cast down" sheep, the shepherd cuts
off the trash entangled in the wool. While he is doing it the sheep howls, struggles, and
kicks.
In the spiritual world, believers become weighed down with "cares of this world" and the "sins that so easily beset us. ” These things must be cut off if they are to be effective for God. We may kick, struggle, and howl too, but it is necessary.
They Become Too Fat: Sheep who are too fat cannot right themselves again when they roll over on their backs. Some believers become too fat spiritually. They take in the things of God, but never give out. They do not minister to others, but just continue to grow spiritually fat themselves.
In the natural world, these fat sheep are not always the healthiest or most productive.
This is true also in the spiritual world. Spiritual shepherds must get these "fat" sheep up and on the move for God.
THE SHEPHERD LEADS THE SHEEP:
Jesus said:
And when he (the shepherd) putteth forth his own sheep, He goeth before them, and the sheep follow him… (John 10:4)
Leadership is just what the word implies : You must go ahead of the sheep and lead them . You do not just tell sheep where to go, you show them by moving out in front of them .
You do this by practicing what you preach and showing them by your lifestyle rather than only telling them . The shepherd sets the example as a leader, not as a "lord" who shows off. Peter said to serve…
Neither as being lords over God’s heritage, but being ensamples to the flock. (I Peter 5:3)
THE SHEPHERD SERVES WILLINGLY:
Peter said to …
… (I Peter 5:2)
You should not lead because you are asked, forced, or required to do so. You should lead
because you want to lead. Fulfill your calling willingly.
THE SHEPHERD GIVES HIS LIFE FOR THE SHEEP:
Jesus said:
I am the good shepherd: the good shephenkind. You cannot die for your sheep in this way. Few of us may ever die in behalf of others or even as martyrs.
But to be a leader, you will have to "give your life" in other ways. You must sacrifice your own desires and selfish ambitions for others. There are many inconveniences in caring for people. It takes time and it may interfere with your own personal plans.
Jesus made this clear in the parable of the lost sheep in Luke 15. All the sheep were
obedient and where they were supposed to be, but one was lost. It was not convenient to go out looking for him at night. It was not comfortable or desirable. It was even
dangerous. But the shepherd "laid down his life" and went to rescue the lost sheep.
THE SHEPHERD PROTECTS THE SHEEP:
The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy… (John 10:10)
But he that is an hireling and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth; and the wolf
catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep.
The hireling flees, because he is an hireling and careth not for the sheep. (John 10:12-13)
A good shepherd stays with the sheep and protects them , no matter what the cost.
Hirelings are leaders who use their leadership positions only for money, power, position, or honor. They are serving for "filthy lucre,” or their own benefit. Hirelings do not really care for the sheep, so they flee when the enemy attacks (I Peter 5:2).
WARNINGS TO SHEPHERDS
Read Ezekiel 34 in your Bible. This chapter contains warnings to bad shepherds who
ruled Israel. But the warnings in this passage concern all leaders who are bad shepherds.
God promises "woe" or judgment on shepherds who:
1. Do not feed the flock: Verse 2
2. Rob and take selfishly from the sheep: Verse 3
3. Take care of themselves, but not the sheep : Verses 2-3 , 8
4. Do not care for the needs of the flock: Verse 4
(They do not comfort those who are hurt, strengthen the sheep, care for the spiritually diseased and sick .)
5. Do not seek the lost sheep: Verses 4 and 6
6. Rule with force and cruelty: Verse 4
7. Scatter the sheep: Verses 5-6
8. Let the enemy destroy the sheep: Verse 8
9. Let the diseases of sin and disunity destroy the flock: Verse 21
A PROMISE TO SHEPHERDS
If you are following the Biblical principles of leading like a shepherd, you can claim this promise:
…When the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away. (I Peter 5:4)

The weekly uranium spot market price, as published by UxC, started the year at $35.25 and ended it $1 lower at $34.25 per lb U3O8. In between, it hovered in the $35 to $39 corridor for most of the time. So, it stayed at about half of the value required for many of the currently proposed new uranium mine projects to become feasible. Consequently, there was no incentive for the uranium industry to end its current hibernation mode.
After last year's failure, one of our most reliable indicators of the actual state of affairs in the uranium industry - the number of companies adding/removing the term "uranium" to/from their name - returned to normal function again, with two companies actually removing the term and one other company announcing so.
Last year's anticyclical exception, a company changing its name to "NX Uranium, Inc." apparently did not evolve into a high-flier, as it produced no news at all - thus confirming our then suspicion that the name must be correctly read as "Nix Uranium, Inc." This year almost produced another exception, as "Berkeley Resources Ltd." - the developer of the Salamanca uranium mine project in Spain - felt it was time to replace the term "Resources" with something more sexy, but they lost heart halfway, choosing the term "Energy" rather than "Uranium".
This year, the "Mind-blowing Company News of the Year Award" goes to struggling Australian uranium explorer Capital Mining for its announcement to switch business and grow cannabis in Canada.
Uranium exploration projects
Moratoria/Bans:
The report of a public inquiry commission looking into the impacts of proposed uranium mining in Québec (Canada) concluded that uranium mining should not start in the province right now. The Québec government has not announced a decision yet, and a temporary moratorium is still in effect.
In connection with the moratorium, Strateco Resources Inc. filed for bankruptcy protection on losses with its Matoush uranium mine project.
A lawsuit seeking to overturn Virginia's state ban on uranium mining was dismissed by a U.S. federal judge. The lawsuit was filed by Virginia Uranium Inc., the company that wants to mine the Coles Hill uranium deposit.
Legislation for a permanent protection of the Grand Canyon area from uranium mining was introduced in U.S. Congress. In 2012, the Department of Interior (DOI) had imposed a temporary ban for 20 years.
In Tanzania, activists climbed Mount Kilimanjaro in July in an endeavour to call African governments to ban uranium mining and nuclear weapons.
The newly elected Queensland Government (Australia) announced plans to reinstate the state's uranium mining ban that had been overturned by the previous government in 2012.
Exploration issues:
The Czech Ministry of Environment rejected an appeal against the denial of the establishment of an exploration area at Osečná-Kotel (Northern Bohemia), as requested by Urania Mining s.r.o.
The Slovak Ministry of Environment denied a license renewal for the exploration of the Kurišková uranium deposit. The Ministry also denied a request for an exploration licence for Rare Earth Elements rather than uranium at the site.
Australian explorer Forte Energy filed court proceedings seeking compensation for the denial of the license renewal and terminated its involvement in the Kurišková and Novoveská Huta uranium mine projects in Slovakia.
After the repeal of the uranium exploration ban in New South Wales (Australia), only one of the six companies invited by the State Government to apply for a uranium exploration license has done so - uranium mining still remains prohibited by State law.
Positive preliminary economic assessments:
In spite of the depressed market, there are still a number of companies carrying on their projects - to be prepared once the hoped-for big upturn of the uranium market actually happens.
Positive preliminary economic assessments, preliminary feasibility studies, or scoping studies were announced for the following uranium mine projects - however, all of them assuming uranium sales prices way above current market prices:
Patterson Lake South uranium mine project (Saskatchewan)
Ur-Energy Inc.'s Shirley Basin Uranium Project (Wyoming)
Dewey Burdock in situ leach uranium project (South Dakota)
Roca Honda uranium mine (New Mexico)
Salamanca uranium mine project (Spain)
Kvanefjeld rare earth - uranium project (Greenland)
Temrezli in situ leach uranium mine project (Turkey)
Mulga Rock uranium mine project (Western Australia)
Uranium mine development projects
License applications for new uranium mines were actually filed for the following projects:
Madaouéla uranium mine project (Niger)
Letlhakane uranium mine (Botswana) - in spite of shaky economics
Karoo uranium and molybdenum mine projects (South Africa)
Uranium mining/milling licenses were issued for:
Sheep Mountain Uranium Project (Wyoming)
Ross in-situ leach uranium project (Wyoming)
Kintyre uranium mine project (Western Australia)
Dulaan Uul and Zoovch Ovoo uranium deposits (Mongolia)
In addition, a Czech company obtained a mining license for an unnamed uranium deposit in Mongolia.
The following uranium mine development project was temporarily suspended due to the unfavourable market situation (in addition to those already suspended in previous years):
Eco Ridge rare earth and uranium mine project (Ontario).
A mining license was denied for:
seabed-mining of uranium-containing phosphate nodules off New Zealand.
Projects currently under development, or being prepared for development:
In Canada:
In May, the Nunavut review board said No to Areva's Kiggavik uranium mine project for the lack of a definite start date (Areva wanted to keep it open in view of the volatile market situation). Areva then asked the federal government to reject the review board's vote. The government's decision is still pending.
After years of delays, Cameco finally announced the achievement of commercial production at its Cigar Lake high-grade uranium mine in Saskatchewan.
In the USA:
An Expert's testimony identified a plethora of problems making it very unlikely that the Dewey-Burdock uranium deposit in South Dakota can be safely mined by in situ leaching. The testimony was only made public after an NRC Board ruled so at the request of intervenors. In the end, the Board dismissed most of the groundwater-related contentions and ruled in favor solely on the cultural issues raised by the Oglala Sioux Tribe.
The Reno Creek in situ leach uranium mine project in Wyoming received a draft NRC licence, various state permits, and an EPA approval required for the project.
The Nichols Ranch (Wyoming) and Burke Hollow (Texas) uranium in situ leach mine projects also received some of their necessary approvals.
In Africa:
Uranium mining at Tanzania's first uranium mine, the Mkuju River Project located in an area cut out from the Selous Game Reserve, is expected to start in April 2016.
Workers at the Chinese-owned Husab uranium mine project in Namibia demonstrated in January to denounce unfair conditions of employment. Mining was to start in May. In December, a fire destroyed part of the milling plant under construction at the site.
For the Norasa Uranium Project in Namibia, a Feasibility Study was released, assuming a uranium price 66% higher than the current one.
At the Etango uranium mine project in Namibia, a heap leach pilot plant was opened in March.
The uranium recovery plant at the Stilfontein tailings reprocessing project in South Africa started operation.
In Europe:
The permitting phase for the Kvanefjeld rare earth - uranium mine project in Greenland began in November. Environmental groups had criticized the planned lake disposal for the tailings.
The permitting process for Berkeley Energy's Retortillo uranium mine in Spain (part of the Salamanca uranium mine project) continued, resulting in the authorization for preliminary infrastructure works, among others. The year had started less promising with Berkeley being fined 8,000 Euros for drilling without a permit. Opponents to the mine organized several demonstrations, also including a road blockade. The Spanish Cabinet nevertheless denied the municipality the right to hold a local referendum on the proposed mine.
In October, Berkeley oddly enough announced to train residents in the use of explosives...
In Hungary, liquidation proceedings were initiated against the company that had intended to develop the Mecsek Hills uranium mine project.
In Romania, an environmental approval was issued for the new uranium mill "Uzina TG", meant to replace the existing "Uzina R".
In Asia:
Jordan announced to start studies on the water, power and infrastructure needs for a uranium mine project in the central region.
The International arbitration tribunal awarded Khan Resources Inc. US$ 100 million for the expropriation of the Dornod uranium deposit in Mongolia. Mongolia, however, did not abide by the tribunal order and filed to annul the arbitration award.
In the meantime, the Chinese-owned Gurvanbulag uranium project in Mongolia is awaiting government approval of its environmental report.
In Russia, a hearing was held on a heap leaching pilot-scale plant at the Berezovoye deposit in Trans-Baikal.
In China, Tibetans protested against the start of uranium mining at the Drakzong sacred mountain in north-eastern Tibet.
China National Nuclear Corp announced plans to build four new uranium mines in China: in Guangdong, Jiangxi, Xinjiang and Inner Mongolia.
India decided to abandon plans for a uranium mine project at Kylleng-Pyndeng-Sohiong in the north-eastern state of Meghalaya.
Satellite images suggest that North Korea is expanding the capacity of the Pyongsan uranium mill.
In Australia:
In Western Australia, the licensing process for the Millipede and Lake Maitland extensions of the Wiluna uranium mine project continued with the release of the Public Environmental Review. The start for the Wiluna uranium mine project itself, however, was pushed back due to the depressed market.
The Public Environmental Reviews for the Mulga Rock and Yeelirrie uranium mine projects were also released for public comment.
Alternate uranium recovery projects
By-product recovery of uranium from mining primarily for other ores:
A positive Pre-Feasibility Study was announced for the PhosEnergy process for uranium by-product extraction from phosphate fertiliser production in Florida.
The troubled Talvivaara Sotkamo nickel-zinc mine in Finland, where by-product recovery of uranium is (was?) planned, continued to produce bad news: in connection with the 2012 gypsum pond leak, four executives are on trial for environmental offences; and, again, due to an increase in rainfall and melting snow, the mine leaked another 750,000 cubic metres of mine water. At long last, the Finnish government purchased the doomed mine.
Issues at operating uranium mines
Suspended mine expansion projects:
Cameco suspended the license application for the North Trend Expansion Area of its Crow Butte uranium in situ leach mine in Nebraska.
Energy Resources of Australia put the expansion project for its Ranger uranium mine in Australia's Northern Territory on hold. Parent company Rio Tinto completely withdrew support for any expansion of ERA's Ranger uranium mine, and Traditional owners rejected an extension of the Ranger uranium mining lease beyond 2021.
Planned expansion of existing uranium mines and mills, with licensing processes at various stages:
Cameco requested a 50% increase in flowrate at its North Butte in situ leach uranium mine in Wyoming.
The U.S. Bureau of Land Mangement (BLM) issued a Notice of Intent To Prepare an Environmental Impact Statement for the expansion of the Lost Creek uranium in situ leach project in Wyoming.
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) announced an opportunity to request a hearing and to petition for leave to intervene on the Jane Dough extension of the Nichols Ranch ISL uranium mine in Wyoming.
A construction license was issued for the new Engenho open pit mine at the Caetité uranium mine in Bahia, Brazil; site preparation works commenced in September.
Paladin plans for another production increase at its Langer Heinrich uranium mine in Namibia.
Russia announced to start the construction of mine No. 6 at Krasnokamensk in February 2016. A new tailings deposit is also under construction at Krasnokamensk.
The Vitimsky ISL mine in Russia is gradually increasing production; development of additional ore deposits commenced also.
Natural forces affecting operating uranium mines and mills:
In July, Cameco suspended uranium shipments from its Saskatchewan mines due to forest fires.
In January, storm damage caused a spill at Paladin's mothballed Kayelekera uranium mine in Malawi.
Environmental issues at operating uranium mines and mills:
Two leaks of uranium ore concentrate occured within the building of the Key Lake mill in Saskatchewan in January and February.
The uranium loads in lake sediments near Cameco's Rabbit Lake mine in Saskatchewan are on the increase again - in spite of mine effluent treatment now operating for seven years already.
A dramatic increase of radium concentrations in the tailings impoundments of the White Mesa uranium mill in Utah suggests radon emissions way beyond standards.
A leaking deep disposal well at Cameco's Smith Ranch in situ leach mine in Wyoming was shut in only after a 20-month delay.
A release of Yellow Cake occured at the Lost Creek uranium in situ leach mine in Wyoming.
Energy Fuels Inc. announced to restart mining at the Canyon mine in Arizona, and a judge upheld the operation plan for the mine against claims from environmentalists.
However, in December, the renewal process for the air-pollution permit of three Grand Canyon mines (including the Canyon, EZ, and Pinenut mines in Arizona) was suspended, when a fourfold increased uranium level was found in soil near the Pinenut mine.
The independent laboratory CRIIRAD released a report on radiation monitoring performed at the Caetité uranium mine in Bahia, Brazil.
Rössing Uranium released several papers in reply to a 2012 CRIIRAD report on radiation monitoring results near the Rössing uranium mine site in Namibia.
Another CRIIRAD report presented independent radiation monitoring results gathered during active operation of Paladin's Kayelekera uranium mine in Malawi, indicating the failure of Paladin's zero-discharge policy. This year, the now mothballed mine discharged treated waste water into public rivers - to the dismay of local communities.
The tailings pipeline from the Jaduguda uranium mill in Jharkhand, India, burst once again.
A weed control fire escaped the Ranger uranium mine site in Australia and threatened important rock art sites in Kakadu National Park.
Australia's Department of Enviroment decided that the proposed increase of the wall height of tailings dam TSF4 at the Olympic Dam mine in South Australia requires no enviromental approval, although opponents feared that the increase would probably cause more leakage.
Industrial action at operating uranium mines and mills:
Workers held a three-day strike at Areva's Akouta mine in Niger in April.
Contract workers handed over a petition to the management of Rössing Uranium in October, complaining about working conditions at the Rössing uranium mine in Namibia.
Namibian contract workers downed tools at the Chinese-owned Husab uranium mine project in Namibia in June. In November, the Namibian High Court declared the strike illegal.
Over 300 miners at the Crucea uranium mine in Romania protested by staying underground in March.
Miners' health issues at operating uranium mines and mills:
At Paladin's Langer Heinrich uranium mine in Namibia, workers protested against unsafe working conditions. Later, a report by the office of the Prime Minister confirmed a lack of safety at the mine.
At the Olympic Dam copper/uranium underground mine in South Australia, a worker died in a rock fall accident.
Supplies issues at operating uranium mines and mills:
A truck carrying hydrochloric acid to Cameco's Crow Butte uranium in situ leach mine Nebraska overturned.
An environmental permit was denied for Rössing's plan to construct a desalination plant of its own in Namibia. The government expects Rössing to buy its water from the existing Wlotzkasbaken desalination plant - at costs that the company considers prohibitive.
A train carrying sulfuric acid for the Rössing uranium mine derailed in Namibia.
Shutdown, downsizing, etc. of operating mines and mills due to poor economics:
Operations at the Chinese-owned Azelik mine in Niger were suspended in February, due to poor economics.
The Beverley and Beverley North in situ leach uranium mines in South Australia were on care and maintenance as of March.
Other issues at operating uranium mines and mills:
Rockfall halted operation of the Eagle Point uranium mine at Cameco's Rabbit Lake site in Saskatchewan in December.
Construction of an on-site elution plant started at Energy Fuels' Nichols Ranch in situ leach uranium mine in Wyoming. So far, loaded resins have been shipped to other nearby third party-owned facilities for final yellowcake stripping, drying and packaging.
Western Uranium announced plans to restart mining at the Sunday Mine complex in Colorado in 2016. The state regulator CDPHE halted trials with an experimental ablation unit for ore pre-concentration at the site until completion of a regulatory evaluation.
After accusation of tax evasion by Canada's government in 2013, Cameco now also is involved in a tax dispute with the United States.
A restart of uranium mining at the Caetité mine in Bahia, Brazil, is planned for 2016.
Paladin finally allowed civil society organizations a long-denied site visit to its mothballed Kayelekera mine in Malawi; however, details of the agreement with the Malawi government are still withheld.
A fire broke out in the final product recovery of the Rössing uranium mine in Namibia in February. In June, Rössing annonced to continue uranium production beyond 2032.
Mintails Ltd seeked bankruptcy protection for its South African subsidiaries in October, as "the operational performance [...] has again fallen below expectations". The company is involved in the re-mining of tailings deposits for residual gold and uranium.
The Dalmatovkoye in situ leach uranium mine in Russia added a drying system for yellow cake output and launched a pilot unit for scandium extraction.
Mining operations at the Jaduguda uranium mine in Jharkhand, India, remained suspended, as the lease renewal is still pending.
Energy Resources of Australia (ERA) confirmed it would like to mine at Ranger beyond its current permit expiry in 2021, but Traditional Owners challenged the federal government to guarantee that no future mining will occur at Ranger and Jabiluka.
Meanwhile, tailings disposal (from processing of stockpiled ore) started in the former Pit 3 open pit of the Ranger mine.
A mill breakdown reduced the copper/uranium production capacity at the Olympic Dam mine in South Australia for four months.
Abandoned mines issues
Canada's regulator CNSC removed a hold point pertaining to the remediation of the Gunnar legacy tailings deposits in Saskatchewan. It remains, however, unclear, who will pay for it, as the Federal Government fails to contribute its share in additional reclamation cost. The cost is now expected to exceed CDN$ 250 million, that is 10 times the estimate.
Wildfires were burning near the abandoned Midnite uranium mine in Washington in August.
Investigations demonstrated the need for cleanup of abandoned uranium mines in the Tachee/Blue Gap and Black Mesa Chapters of the Navajo Nation, Arizona. Contaminants in abandoned uranium mine waste can be released rapidly, presenting a hazard to residents.
The U.S. government announced to pay the cleanup evaluation (not the cleanup itself!) of 16 abandoned uranium mines on Navajo land.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) settled with El Paso Natural Gas for some cleanup costs at abandoned uranium mines on the Navajo Nation, near Cameron, Arizona.
The U.S. EPA cleaned up 8 vicinity properties in the Grants Mineral Belt in New Mexico - what a phenomenal achievement after 25 years!
Bankrupt Energy Future Holdings would pay less than 10% of the US$ 23 million cleanup cost of four abandoned uranium mines in McKinley County in New Mexico under a settlement plan filed in December. Those familiar with uranium mines say even the US$ 23 million estimate appeared surprisingly low.
The Utah state regulator stopped inspections at the abandoned Dunn uranium mine - in spite of remaining mine openings and missing reclamation. On the other hand, the state closed openings of several abandoned mines near Moab.
In Texas, the reclamation of the abandoned Brown uranium mine was completed.
Residents near the former Aldama uranium mill in Mexico are still exposed to excessive radionuclide concentrations in dust, a study found.
The cause of the mysterious sleeping sickness that plagued residents of two villages in Kazakhstan was identified as carbon monoxide exhalation from the former Krasnogorsk uranium mine. The local authorities decided to move both villages to a safer location.
The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) set up a new fund for remediation of the legacy of Soviet-era uranium mining and processing in the Kyrgyz Republic, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan.
In Kyrgyzstan, a project was launched, supported by the European Union, to assess environmental impact of former uranium production facilities at Shekaftar and Min-Kush.
Australia's Environment Protection Authority ordered the state of New South Wales to clean up contaminated homes at the former Hunters Hill uranium mill site. However, the cleanup was delayed for another four years, as the cost has almost doubled.
Decommissioning issues
In the USA:
groundwater cleanup problems at U.S. uranium mill tailings sites:
In addition to Radium-226 and Radium-228, now also selenium exceeds the alternate concentration limits in groundwater at the Shirley Basin South uranium mill tailings disposal site in Wyoming. The selenium concentrations have been following a general upward trend since 2010.
After the failure of the natural flushing strategy at the Gunnison uranium mill tailings site in Colorado, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) now evaluates other options for groundwater restoration.
The U.S. NRC approved United Nuclear's requests for relaxed groundwater protection standards at the Church Rock uranium mill and tailings site in New Mexico.
A sharp increase of groundwater contaminants was observed in a monitoring well at the Ambrosia Lake Title I uranium mill tailings site in New Mexico.
Residual contamination exceeded limits at the Section 4 Ponds area of Quivira Mining's former Ambrosia Lake Mill Facility in New Mexico.
An environmental group filed an objection against the increased groundwater abstraction for the remediation of the groundwater contaminant plume at Homestake's Grants uranium mill tailings site in New Mexico.
At the former Monticello uranium mill tailings site in Utah, the natural attenuation groundwater remediation scheme remained ineffective, confirming the need for active groundwater remediation.
other USA decommissioning issues:
The remaining US$ 16 million reclamation costs for the ANC Gas Hills uranium mill tailings site in Wyoming are not covered by the reclamation bond that the company forfeited to the state in 1994.
In the matter of the decommissioning of the Split Rock uranium mill tailings site in Wyoming, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) seems to be absolutely determined to make a fool of itself: In a striking move, the NRC said in January that "it does not appear" that it ever approved Western Nuclear's plan to prohibit groundwater use from private wells adjacent to the tailings site, once the contaminant plume will have reached those in the future. With this plan, the company intended to avoid any tedious groundwater cleanup. And, in September, due to various levels of "confusion", the NRC refrained from issuing enforcement actions over two violations: the failure to obtain approval for the indirect transfer of control to Freeport-McMoRan in beforehand, and exceedences of groundwater protection standards.
A New Mexico state court jury ruled in an unprecedented verdict that an insurer must pay United Nuclear Corp. US$ 9.6 million for the cleanup of the Northeast Church Rock uranium mine in New Mexico.
The Moab uranium mill tailings relocation project in Utah has slowed slightly after a rockslide happened in November 2014.
The U.S. Justice Department announced that it has awarded more than US$ 2 billion in compassionate compensation to eligible claimants under the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act (RECA). These claimants include former uranium miners, among others.
In Central/South America:
Argentina's Auditor General's Office denounced the lack of progress in the management of the environmental liabilities at the Sierra Pintada uranium mine in Mendoza.
Residents complained about the lack of progress with the reclamation of the Los Gigantes uranium mine in Córdoba, Argentina - 25 years after mining ceased.
In Africa:
Residents of an informal settlement at the radioactive mine waste dump in Krugersdorp in South Africa after years are still waiting for their relocation.
In Europe:
In Germany, the reclamation of the former Wismut uranium mining operations is nearing completion, but a number of tasks remain to be done, in particular at legacy sites not covered by the federal cleanup programme:
The legacy mixed waste rock pile Collmberghalde in Dresden, Germany, is to be reclaimed from 2016.
Wismut starts the partial reclamation of the Freital No. 4 legacy tailings pond near Dresden, Germany.
The cover of Wismut's waste rock pile No. 366 near Aue, Germany, slumped again, after a similar event had occured at the same place 7 years earlier.
Seepage from Wismut's Helmsdorf uranium tailings deposit in Germany is decreasing, as the construction of the cover is nearing completion.
In a shocking revelation, Wismut announced that the long-term management of the legacy of uranium mining in Germany requires another EUR 2.1 billion - in addition to the EUR 6.5 million for the federal cleanup programme and the millions spent for a number of legacy sites not included in the federal programme.
other European decommissioning issues:
The Czech government allocated another US$ 190 million in the next three years for the groundwater cleanup at the former Stráž uranium in situ leach site in Northern Bohemia.
Dismantling of the surface facilities at the former Hamr uranium mine in Northern Bohemia, Czech Republic, continued with the demolition of the landmark pit-head frame.
Plans for processing of the largest uranium waste rock pile at Příbram in Western Bohemia, Czech Republic, into building material were stopped after local protests.
In Bulgaria, uranium concentrations in stream water and sediment still show a three-fold increase downstream former uranium mining sites.
In Australia:
Energy Resources of Australia (ERA) seeks funding from its parent company Rio Tinto for the rehabilitation of the Ranger uranium mine, as ERA has set insufficient funds aside.
Health impacts: science issues
An international cohort study found an association between protracted low-dose radiation exposure and leukemia among nuclear workers, and it moreover confirmed the Linear No-Threshold model for low dose rates.
After scientists had first raised serious concerns in 2013 over the latest increase of WHO's drinking-water guideline for uranium to 30 micrograms per litre, criticism continued this year by exposing the inconsistency of WHO's chemical and radiological guidelines for uranium in drinking water. Scientists now even called their peers and governments to establish independent recommendations.
Legal and regulatory issues
In Canada:
Canada issued an exemption from its foreign ownership policy for Paladin Energy's Michelin project in Newfoundland and Labrador.
In the USA:
The U.S. EPA issued a proposed rule on groundwater protection standards for uranium in situ leach mining for comment. The NGO Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) welcomed the long-sought safeguards for in situ leach uranium mining, but called for improvements.
In response to a petition for rulemaking, the U.S. NRC invited comment on a request to replace the Linear No-Threshold model for radiation effects by radiation hormesis (= radiation is good for you) model (!)
The U.S. NRC also invited comment on a proposed reassessment of its Dollar per person-rem conversion factor policy.
The U.S. NRC issued a final Interim Staff Guidance to relax standards for acute intake of uranium by workers in accident scenarios.
The Sage Grouse, a bird that habitates areas used for uranium mining in the Western U.S., was denied Endangered Species status.
In South/Central America:
Bolivia's government has ruled out pursuing uranium production and decided to focus instead on the industrial development of its vast lithium reserves.
In Africa:
As the opening of Tanzania's first uranium mine comes closer, an IAEA mission urged Tanzania to establish an independent regulatory body for radiation safety.
In Europe:
The independent radiation laboratory CRIIRAD opposed French government plans to issue a decree that would allow radon concentrations up to 300 Bq/m3 in homes that are impacted from former uranium mines. Such concentrations would cause doses of 10 - 20 mSv/a to inhabitants, 10 - 20 times the applicable 1 mSv/a standard.
Uranium trade and foreign investment issues
Uranium trade and transport
In Germany, protests against uranium transports on Hapag Lloyd ships were held in ten cities. The Bonn City Council adopted a resolution against uranium transports across the city.
In France, a protest was held in Narbonne against the rail transport of uranium ore concentrate to the Malvési conversion plant.
Proliferation issues
An Australian parliament committee put tough condition on the planned uranium sale to India and demanded to defer it, but the Australian Government dismissed the committee recommendation. After finalizing the nuclear cooperation agreements in November, Australian uranium exports to India and the United Arab Emirates can start immediately.
The first Canadian uranium shipment was to arrive in India in December.
Kazakhstan announced to supply India with 5,000 tonnes of uranium.
Foreign exploration and mining investment and cooperation
Russia:
Exploration tenements near the Honeymoon mine in South Australia were awarded to a Russian state-owned company, in spite of the current uranium export ban to Russia.
The Armenian-Russian uranium joint venture was liquidated.
Sudan said Russian firms will have priority in uranium extraction contracts.
China:
A Chinese company showed interest in "processing" of abandoned Kyrgyz uranium mill tailings and more.
Areva opened the possibility of a minority stake buy by Chinese-government owned China National Nuclear Corp. (CNNC).
China General Nuclear Power Corp (CGN) signed an agreement with Kazatomprom on a uranium mining joint venture in Kazakhstan.
China's CGN Mining Co Ltd bought an interest in the developer of the Patterson Lake South uranium deposit in Saskatchewan.
This and that
In Western Australia, the state Minister for Mines and Petroleum allowed uranium exploration in the backyard of reluctant mining tycoon Andrew Forrest, overturning a Mining Warden's decision. Subsequently, Forrest filed more mineral exploration applications near his backyard - to protect it from other miners?
In France, an Appeals Court dismissed Areva's legal action against an anti-nuclear activist. In 2014, a Paris court had condemned the NGO Observatoire du nucléaire to pay penalties of several thousand Euros for "defamation" of Areva in a 2012 press release titled "Nuclear/corruption: AREVA offers a plane to the President of Niger...". So, in the end, the Appeals Court apparently shared the surprise we expressed in last year's review: "how can it ever be possible to defame a company that has 181 entries in its Hall of Infamy on the WISE Uranium website?"
But meanwhile, even Areva appears to be annoyed at its ever growing Hall of Infamy: in September, Areva invited contributions to the Responsible Development Report 2015 on its mining activities!
In these confusing times, it even seems reasonable that Cameco, the uranium mining company that is accused of tax evasion, now offers an Ethics Hotline...

Best Christmas Tree Storage
The festive season is nearly upon us. At this time of year, millions of Americans gather with friends and family to chat and enjoy each other’s company. When Christmas day rolls around, the kids are up at 5 am trying to guess their gifts around the tree.
After a great day with the family, we all look forward to Boxing day and the leftovers from Christmas lunch. When news years day arrives, and 2021 kicks off the next 12-months, it’s time to start planning for the year.
The Twelve Days of Christmas ends on January 5th, and it’s custom to take don your decorations on this day. Doing it a day early or late is bad luck for the year. Taking down your Christmas decorations always seems like more of a hassle than putting them up.
The kids love helping you decorate the inside and outside of the house, but you’ll never find them when its time to help you take down the decorations.
The Christmas tree is the central piece of any Christmas theme. Many Americans choose to get a real tree and dress it up for the holidays. However, cleaning up dead pine needles and throwing out the tree at the end of the holiday is a pain.
Real trees also create biological waste, and we think everyone would rather see trees in the ground than chopped and displayed in our living rooms. It’s for this reason that plastic faux Christmas trees are now the new standard for your Christmas display.
A faux plastic tree never expires, and you can keep using it year after year. To keep your Christmas tree in tip-top condition, you’ll need to store it properly till next year. This review looks at the best Christmas tree storage options for the end of the festive season.

Christmas Tree Storage Buyer’s Guide
After reading through our reviews of the best Christmas tree storage bags, it’s time to settle on your ideal model.
We understand it’s challenging to choose between so many good products in this review. We decided to make it easier for you by introducing the buyer’s guide.
In this section, we’ll unpack everything you need to know about choosing the right storage option for your Christmas tree this festive season.
Features of Christmas Tree Storage Bags
When choosing your ideal Christmas tree bag, you need to look for a couple of features in a prospective model. Let’s break down the elements of a good storage bag for your Christmas tree.
Material
The first thing to look at in a prospective Christmas bag is the material. You need to prevent water and moisture from getting at the tree in storage. If the interior of the bag gets wet, mold will start to grow. When you open the bag at Christmas, you spread spores throughout the room, infesting your home.
You need a water-resistant and dust-proof material to keep your tree dry and clean in storage. We recommend looking for bags that feature synthetic materials, as these offer the best water-resistant, and they wipe dry.
Convenient Handles
Your Christmas tree storage bag need handles to help you move it around. Check the stitching to see if the bag can support weight – the last thing you need is the handles ripping off while you’re carrying it to the garage.
Check for double-stitching – that’s the gold standard for handles. Some models feature design and construction with handles that loop under the bag, ensuring they don’t tear away while providing plenty of support when carrying the bag.
Casters or Wheels
If you’re planning on going on Christmas vacation -take your tree with you! There are options for Christmas tree storage bags featuring casters on the bottom. These casters provide the bag with a rolling action, and you can take them with you to the hotel room with your other luggage.
These bags typically feature premium design and come with an expensive price tag. However, they offer you convenience and a valid storage option if you’re taking your Christmas tree on the road this festive season.
Upright or Flat Storage
When choosing your Christmas tree storage bag, think about the type of storage you need. Will you be storing the tree in a vertical position or flat? Choose the storage bag that suits your needs, and make sure the zip is accessible when you put the tree away for the year.
Bag Size
Faux plastic Christmas trees are a popular choice for the festive season. With a -plastic tree, you don’t have to worry about pine needles falling on the garnet, bugs crawling out of the tree, or trashing it at the end of the season.
A plastic tree is a more economical option, and it lasts for years with the right care. Typically, plastic trees come in a range of sizes, from a few feet high to upwards of 20-feet, depending on your requirements.
However, your average home Christmas tree measure between 7-feet to 9-feet. 9-foot trees are the best option for families, giving you plenty of room to set up your Christmas display and splash out the presents for Christmas morning.
Price
The price of your bag makes a difference in the model you choose for your tree. If you’re looking for a premium model, expect to pay upwards of $30.
Most Christmas tree bags are between $7 and $20, depending on the size and the brand. Choose the model that makes sense for the size of your Christmas tree and your budget.
Label Window
Check your Christmas tree bag to see if it comes with a label window. Label windows are handy, allowing you to label the bag for next year.
You might want to send one of the kids out to grab the tree when setting up your display next year. They won’t have to rummage through bags if they know where to look.
Advantages of Using a Christmas Tree Storage Bag
Why would you want to use a Christmas tree bag in the first place? Here are a few reasons why you need one for your tree this festive season.
Protect Your Tree
The first reason you need a Christmas tree bag is for protecting your tree. If water or moisture penetrates the bag during storage, it leads to mold growth. Mold will ruin your tree and your Christmas, forcing you to buy a new tree and a new bag.
Many people mistake wrapping up the tree in garbage bags, storing in the garage rafters till next year. However, during the year, the dust gets on the bags and finds its way into the tree. When you set up the tree the following year, there’s dust blowing all over the room.
A Christmas tree bag protects your tree from water and dust, and it also provides damage protection. A bag prevents other objects from falling on the tree, damaging it beyond repair.
Stop Sun Fading
When storing your tree away for the year, a bag keeps it away from heat and sunlight that might fade or damage the tree.
Easy Access Next Christmas
With a label window, you keep your tree readily available for next Christmas. There’s no need to search through tons of bags in your storage to find the right one. With a label, you can grab the bag and go.
How Do I Store My Christmas Tree?
When the 12 Days of Christmas end on January 5th, it’s time to take down your decorations and the tree. With a faux plastic tree, there’s less cleaning up, but you’ll need to store the bag somewhere until the next festive season.
We have a few tips for you when taking down your Christmas decorations this year.
Use Dedicated Storage
When storing your Christmas decorations, keep everything in separate boxes. We recommend taking down the lights first, winding them around some cardboard to prevent them from tangling.
Remove the handing decorations and tinsel next, and store everything in separate boxes. Next, pack up your Christmas tree and store it in a dedicated bag. Some Christmas tree bags come with extra space for storing your decorations as well.
Be Careful with the Disassembly
Make sure you’re careful when taking down your decorations and tree. Ornaments can break easily, and trees can snap if you accidentally bend them. Start with each section of the tree, and work your way to the top. We recommend taking down the lights last.
Clean the Tree Before Putting It Away
If you want your tree to look as good as new next season, we recommend cleaning it before you put it away. Use a light synthetic duster to remove dust from the tree before putting in the bag and storing it away till next Christmas.
Find the Right Storage Location
Where are you planning to store your Christmas tree? Make sure you keep your tree in a cool, dark environment, away from any moisture. Most homeowners choose to hand the tree in the garage rafters.
However, if you don’t have space, make sure you get a weatherproof bag. With a water-resistant Christmas tree bag, you can store your tree in any convenient location around your home.
Where Can I Buy a Christmas Tree Storage Bag?
We recommend picking up your Christmas tree bag from Amazon, the world’s largest online retailer. Why take the risk of going out with the crowds to shop this winter.
Amazon has everything you need online, including your ideal Christmas tree bag. Amazon has the best selection of decorations and bags, with the best prices online. If you have any issues, Amazon covers your order with buyer protection, and Prime members get fast free shipping.
If your Christmas tree bag comes with any manufacturing defects, Amazon offers a hassle-free returns process.
Christmas Tree Storage FAQs
How long do artificial Christmas trees last?
You need to store your Christmas tree properly to ensure it doesn’t get wet or covered in dust. If you keep it in a Christmas tree bag, you can expect it to last for 10-years or more. The type of tree and build quality make a tremendous difference in its service life. Make sure you buy a tree from a reputable manufacturer.
What type of artificial Christmas tree is the easiest to set up?
The faux tree with the easiest setup is the flip-up design. Flip-up trees come in two or three parts, allowing for easy connection and setup. Most flip trees vary between 7-feet and 9-feet in height. To put up a flip tree, you snap the pieces together and then fold it away for compact storage. You can choose a smaller Christmas tree bag with a folding model when storing it away for the year.
Which US President banned Christmas trees?
There are some documents around the internet, suggesting that President Franklin D. Roosevelt banned Christmas trees during his administration.
The President took this unpopular approach in a stance against environmental damage. However, the story goes that one of his sons disobeyed his rules, bringing a Christmas tree into the White House in protest. As a result, he changed his father’s mind on the ban.
Did people ever put real candles on Christmas trees?
Yes. The Germans started this tradition back in the 16th Century. Devout Cristian worshippers would bring trees into their homes and decorate them to celebrate the birth of Christ. According to Wikipedia, Martin Luther was the first protestant reformer to light candles on a Christmas tree, and the rest is history.
Conclusion
By now, you should have a good idea of the best Christmas tree storage bags. There are options in this review to suit any size tree, from 7-feet to 9-feet in height.
Choose the bag to match your faux Christmas tree, and store it away in the garage or attic for next Christmas. When you pull the tree out for the following festive season, it will be in perfect shape.

Clique Petit befriends ‘Heaps of Ghosts’ in latest track

Producer and songwriter, clique petit, poetically rambles in an illuminatingly stunning track, Heaps of Ghosts.
Clique petit – the artist that looks at darkness and befriends it. In an electrically raw and nerve-tingling single, petit illuminates the shadows and skeletons we hide in the cupboard.
The track, Heaps of Ghosts, ironically seeps with the golden elixir of life – shining a light on the thorniest corners of human nature.
Kiwi born and Sydney-based creator, Dil Harré, describes the tune as; “one of those songs written and recorded in a single breath” – and there is not a doubt in my mind that this is true.
The lyrics send a shiver down the spine as they echo; “its a chemical, tangled up, strange, silver thread/that runs right from my back and into the past, I love all these knots/they keep me in check” – does music get better than that?
View this post on Instagram
A post shared by dil harre (@cliquepetit)
The intent of Heaps of Ghosts is downright hard-hitting, slipping you into a wonderland of dreamy electric guitar riffs; “check out the skeletons in your closet, befriend them even, find your favourite one, and let them possess you – because they are probably fucking cool”, Harré explains.
As the riff carries through like a throbbing heartbeat in the track, you become consumed by what the self-producer, mixer and magician is painting in the clouds – that your shadows and ghosts are a thing of beauty in all its scribbled mess.
Heaps of Ghosts is a credit to Clique petit’s universally magnetic music style – he is a heat-seeking missile of warmth in a swirly blend of genres. In lockdown fashion, Harré will be celebrating the track’s release via a live stream on October 8 alongside friend and fellow artist, Orion Jennings, ahead of their debut EP release.

'HotnCheesy' (hosted on github) was a computer game that I was involved in developing during the Global Game Jam at the BristolGames Hub. This was where, over the course of a weekend (25-26 Jan 2014), teams made a computer game around the theme of "We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are." with the added challenge of making this accessable. We, a team of Matt Kingston, David Spooner, Matt Thompson and myself, made the game "hot'n'cheesy". It is a 2D space shooter, made using the phaser framework, with the twist of a dense fog of war, implented using webgl shaders. With no real accessability features and only a very loose connection with the theme, the game was no tremndous success but it was a great fun, lots of learning and an exhausting but inspring weekend. The game can sometimes be found here although a suspected memory leak means it is often offline.
As is tradition in the old Cambridge Univeristy colleges, Jesus College hosts a Mayball each year (in June). In my first year at Cambridge I joined the committee as webmaster and helped with the 2014 mayball themed 'Into the Woods'. I had to make a front page to advertise the event and provide navigation to several forms and other pages. The code is now available on github and I host a copy of the page here. Of course, most of the links are now broken.
While doing my undergraduate I developed a student roll system to register attendance at Aikido classes. It was developed in python using the Django framework. I will move the files to github once I have established version compatibility.
As I am a proper zombie in the morning with minimal will power, I developed a simple web application that provides a timed workout thus taking an element of will power out of the equation. The code (javascript/html/css) is on github and is hosted here.

For this written assignment, you will explore your own personality by taking two *free* internet personality tests.
Overview of the Jung Typology Test
The first personality test is called the Jung Typology Test. This test measures four trait domains:
How we interact with our world (the continuum with introversion on one side and extroversion on the other).
How we process information (the continuum with sensing on one end and intuitive on the other). Sensors are data driven and those that “intuit” tend to see the “big picture.”
How we make decisions (the continuum of thinking on one side and feeling on the other).
How we plan our day (the continuum of judging on one side and perceiving on the other). Judging in this context means planned and structured, and perceiving in this context means free-flowing and flexible.x
Write a thoughtful one or two paragraph essay that addresses the following:
Briefly summarize your personality test results. Do not the ways in which you agree or disagree with the results. Next, think of someone that knows you well. Explain the ways in which he or she would agree or disagree with your results.
Overview of the Five-Factor Module of Personality, also called the “Big Five”
First, watch the following Ted Talk:xes often give inventories when hiring, like a personality analysis based on the Five-Factor Model of Personality, commonly known as “Big-Five, which measures five core trait domains.
Openness to experience/intellect: Are you eager to try new experiences and ideas, or are you more comfortable having experiences stay the same most of the time?
Conscientiousness: How organized of a person are you? Are you a reliable person, or are you generally careless with your actions?
Extraversion: Are you a social person who feels “recharged” when interacting with other people, or are you a quiet, more reserved person who prefers solitude?
Agreeableness: Would you say you are a compassionate, forgiving, and understanding person, or do you tend to be more critical and blunt to people?
Are you someone who is nervous, anxious, and worries about the future, or are you calm and hard to fluster?
Stx
Write a thoughtful one or two paragraph essay that addresses the following:
Summarize your results from the “Big Five.” Do not copy/paste the results from the personality test; instead, summarize your results in your own words.
From the perspective o successful employee.
Based on your results, identify one area you might like to improve. Explain what strategies you might use to implement the improvement?
Step 3: Review the grading rubric (webpage, opens in new tab), which explains the expectations for your writing assignment.
Step 4: Put your essay from the Jung Typology Test and your essay from the “Big Five” inventory into one Word document. If you do not use Word, please save your document as a PDF or RTF file. Submit your document to the drop box.

For the fifth consecutive year, Craig Thompson summoned all of SRT Husqvarna's riders for the Team SRT Challenge. It was held in Central California this year, though the early spring conditions made the two-day event feel very un-California-like. With guys like Cory Graffunder, Trystan Hart, and Kyle Redmond on the squad, SRT definitely has some heavy hitters, but it's "Wild" Wally Palmer who makes the show doubly entertaining.
While Thompson uses the event to ostensibly gather everyone together for team photos, the Challenge is the main focus. Over the two days, everyone ran through seven “special tests.” Day one included five laps of a circle-rut track, a lap of a motocross-type track, a lap on a European grass-track-style “grand prix” course, and a man-on-man elimination-style drag race. Day two featured two point-to-point enduro tests followed by an observed trials section on mountain trails not far from Yosemite National Park. After that, it was time to just ride until snow made the trail impassable, followed by an awards presentation at a local pizza joint.
It was hard to believe you were in California when you pulled up to the gate of the private compound SRT had secured for the first day.Mark Kariya
This type of grass track is normally only seen in Europe. You wouldn’t expect to find it near Fresno!Mark Kariya
Canadian Joe Bartziokas heads from the pits to the riders’ meeting. He’ll have to wait for the third “challenge” to have a go at the grass track.Mark Kariya

When all the times/scores were added, Graffunder got to hoist the Team SRT Challenge trophy for the third time since the “competition” began in 2014.Mark Kariya

The Activity Register is open to all dogs, both pedigree and crossbreed to allow them to exhibit in Kennel Club licensed events for disciplines such as agility, flyball etc.
Not registered dogs can be viewed if they are related to a Kennel Club registered dog and may themselves be registered elsewhere with another club or society.
Health profile
The results and calculated health information below are from information received and recorded by The Kennel Club, and may not include all health screening undertaken by the dog's owners.
You can find more information on what these results mean/breeding advice and also on what health screening is relevant to your breed.
Inbreeding coefficient
Coefficient of Inbreeding (CoI) Inbreeding coefficient for GUESTWICK CORAL NYMPH is 21.7% 17 generations available of which 5 are complete Breed average CoI 8.6% COI Description
The degree of inbreeding can be measured using a calculation called the coefficient of inbreeding (CoI), or inbreeding coefficient. The lower the degree of inbreeding, the lower the inbreeding coefficient.
What do these results mean?
Our inbreeding calculators give you a percentage score. The lower the percentage, the lower the degree of inbreeding.
To put your result into perspective:
0% = a dog with two apparently unrelated parents (based on all available pedigree information)
12.5% = the genetic equivalent of a dog produced from a grandfather to granddaughter mating, or the mating of a half-brother/sister
25% = the genetic equivalent of a dog produced from a father to daughter mating, or the mating of full-brother/sister
More than 25% = inbreeding is accumulative, so if it has occurred to a significant degree over several generations, the inbreeding coefficient may be greater than 25%
Understanding this result
In general the lower the result, the lower the risk of this dog having health issues. It's important to remember that these results are a measure of risk, rather than a direct measure of health.
Always check the number of generations
Always check to see how many generations have been used for the calculation. If only three generations are fully complete, you may wish to use these results with care. If additional pedigree information or inbreeding resources are available to you, you may wish to consult these.
For dogs that have been imported, we may only have a three-generation pedigree, so it may be difficult for us to calculate an informative COI.
Breeding advice
An individual's result should not be taken into consideration when selecting a dog for mating, instead it's the mating inbreeding coefficient that should be used, as this looks at how related two potential mates are.
You find the inbreeding calculation for hypothetical matings on our health test results finder service.
Where can I find out more about inbreeding, inbreeding calculators or breeding advice?
Read more about inbreeding.
How is the breed average calculated?
The breed average is calculated each June using dogs registered with The Kennel Club born in the UK between January and December of the previous year. Using this data is a more effective means of monitoring yearly change than by using the average of all living dogs in that breed.
In smaller breeds, if no dogs have been born in that year, the breed average will default to the last year in which a calculation could be performed. In breeds where there is no available breed average data for the past five years, the annual breed average will display as N/A. This may include breeds where no dogs have been born in the UK for five years or more, or some newly recognised breeds.

There’s some stunning green work being featured on Dwell right now as a result of the "How Green Are You?" competition. The basic idea of the competition, co-sponsored by Dwell and the AIA, is to find inspiring entries assessed on their sustainability, functionality, originality, cost effectiveness, and design. Entrants can provide up to four images and a simple, 250-word description of the project — about all you need to find some incredible designs. I understand 100kHouse (pictured above) just entered their project, but I didn’t see it on Dwell yet. Below are a few of my favorite entries so far.

Are you planning to up sticks and move? Unfortunately, it can take more than a general vacuum, a spray of air freshener and a quick tidy up to get your home market-ready. To get maximum value for your property, you may want to consider the following tips.
From freshening up the walls to enhancing your property’s storage, follow these steps to make your house really stand out from the crowd! Need some help achieving property perfection?
Kitchen comes first
Modern kitchen – stock image
Before focusing your attention on the rest of the house, check out your kitchen. It’s probably no surprise that when it comes to buying and selling, this is the most important room in a house—so if your kitchen is sporting a rather outdated design, it’s probably worth renovating. It may seem like a big investment at the time, however this decision could really make the difference between browsing and buying.
Enhance the storage
Enhance storage – stock image
Storage is something that every potential buyer will consider when viewing a house. There’s nothing worse than browsing though a property’s storage only to see clutter bursting at the seams. To avoid this unpleasant image, make sure your cupboards and closets are neatly organised and clutter-free before a viewing.
Paint it fresh
Fresh walls – stock image
A fresh coat of paint never hurt anyone—especially when it comes down to selling. By giving your walls, doors, cupboards and other surfaces some TLC, you’ll instantly freshen up the space, making it feel like new! Top tip: by choosing lighter colours you’ll create a more diverse and appealing space for future buyers.
Make it bright

Does your home lack natural light? Don’t let this be a weakness! Attract buyers into thinking your home is bright by taking down any draping and unnecessary curtains to let more natural light in, as well as adding sparkles of artificial light throughout the property. Remember, warming tones are more appealing, so be sure to pick the right bulbs!
Maximise curb appeal
Curb appeal – stock image
The outside of your property is what every buyer will see first—so don’t go skimping on your curb appeal! By making sure your front yard looks inviting, you’ll instantly entice people through the front door. Freshly mowed lawns, well-kept fences and even unique mailboxes can add to your curb appeal.

A protester outside the Supreme Court in 2019, when justices said that law banning sex discrimination in employment also applied to gay and transgender workers. That ruling might apply in the case of a transgender Arizona teen challenging the state’s refusal to pay for his sex reassignment surgery, a court said, but it stopped short of ordering the state to do so. (File photo by Amy-Xiaoshi DePaola/Cronkite News)
WASHINGTON – A federal appeals court has refused to order Arizona’s Medicaid program to pay for the transition surgery of a transgender teen who claimed the state’s failure to do so amounted to sex discrimination.
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruling upheld a lower court that said the 15-year-old had not shown that male chest reconstruction surgery was “medically necessary,” and noting that the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System does pay for gender dysphoria counseling and hormone therapy.
But the appeals court did not rule on whether the AHCCCS policy violates the civil rights of the teen, identified as John Doe, giving advocates hope that the district court will uphold Doe’s constitutional right to federal health care when the case returns to the lower court.
“There’s a large, significant body of research that demonstrates that transgender youth who received gender-affirming health care … have shown decreased anxiety, depression, suicidal behavior and psychological distress,” said D. Ojeda, a senior national organizer for the National Center for Transgender Equity.
Ojeda called it a “slap in the face” for the court to say the procedure is not medically necessary, saying opponents continue “to harp on science when they’re not even looking at the science.”
But Vernadette Broyles, an attorney for the Child and Parental Rights Campaign, which filed a friend of the court brief in support of AHCCCS, said it is important to consider the effects of gender-affirming treatments on kids who are still developing.
“We have never done the kind of rigorous clinical study that is needed to know … without a doubt that they are safe and effective,” Broyles said. “It is not unreasonable for states to want to step in and protect their children.”

13 bills that could affect transgender youth winding through Arizona Legislature
Attorneys for AHCCCS did not respond to requests for comment Monday. Doe’s attorney, Asaf Orr, said that although the court denied the request for immediate coverage of the surgery, he is “pleased” that the judges rejected the district court’s application of two civil rights laws.
The ruling comes as bills aimed at transgender kids are moving through the Arizona Legislature, including a bill that would prohibit gender-confirmation treatments for minors.
The Doe case began when AHCCCS refused to cover a male chest reconstructive surgery for Doe and another teen, identified as D.H., who were assigned female at birth, according to court documents. State law excludes such surgeries from Medicaid coverage.
The teens sued in August 2020. They claimed the exclusion discriminated against them under the Affordable Care Act, which prohibits denial of care based on sex, and under a 2020 Supreme Court case, known as Bostock, that extended laws against sex discrimination in employment to include gay and transgender workers.
In their suit, the teens asked the court to order the state to pay for the surgery they said they “urgently need … to alleviate their gender dysphoria,” citing “broad consensus … that the surgery is a safe, effective, and medically necessary treatment” for many, including adolescents.
But the district court disagreed, noting the gender dysphoria care AHCCCS can pay for and saying the teens had not proved they would be irreparably harmed if it did not order the state to cover the surgery immediately.
District Judge Scott H. Rash also rejected the teen’s claim that the ruling in Bostock applies. He said the Supreme Court limited the scope of Bostock to employment discrimination under Title VII, not a “state Medicaid plan exclusion for surgical treatment of gender dysphoria in minors.”
The appeals court upheld the ruling, agreeing with Rash that the teens had not made their case. But the opinion by Circuit Judge Consuelo M. Callahan also said the lower court’s application of Bostock was too narrow.
While Bostock dealt with Title VII discrimination, its definition of “discrimination because of sex” also applies to Title IX and the ACA and protects people from being denied access to any taxpayer-funded “‘health program or activity,’” including Medicaid, Callahan wrote.
Broyles said she thinks the appellate court’s interpretation of Title VII is inconsistent with the Supreme Court’s intention.
“Justice (Neil) Gorsuch stated … ‘We are not considering other rights … we are strictly confining our decision to Title VII,’” Broyles said. “So I think that’s just going to have to be briefed some more and looked at again.”
But Ojeda thinks the government should stay out of the health care decisions between providers, parents and transgender kids, and expressed confidence that federal law like the ACA and Title VII will protect those rights.
“The federal government is definitely on the side of trans kids and trans people overall, who need access to gender-affirming care,” Ojeda said. “The law eventually is going to protect trans youth.”

It invokes the freshness of the cenotes and the sweetness of the jungle flowers, but most importantly it nudges towards limestone ruins hidden in overgrown trees and an animalic quality which is quintessentially D.S. & DURGA. One sniff of this and you’ll instantly feel the humidity on your skin and hear insects buzzing around your head. It holds its own in the heat and will be your companion all day long

27 87 PERFUMES
HAMACA
3. 27 87 Perfume’s Hamaca is an understated salty scent ideal for those of you who want to unapologetically lounge on the sand all day. This one is for breathing in deeply and letting go. The marine accords are cool and fresh but grounded by the Tonka bean and coconut notes. This scent is for being present in the moment, and for forging memories of mindfulness as the warm breeze plays on your skin. The no-fuss minimalist in you will no doubt appreciate the waft of Hamaca every now and again, as you turn over on your towel

TOM DAXON
LACONIA
4. If you’re a citrus lover, Tom Daxon’s Laconia will hit the spot. Inspired by fresh lemonade, this scent transports you to Grecian groves hanging heavy with plump lemons, waxy skins warm from the sun. A vibrant sea breeze of a citrus scent, there’s also hints of water mint and violet leaf which give the citrus an aquatic edge, alongside an elegant base of vetiver and, unusually, cardamom for a little hint of spice. This is THE scent for wandering ancient, cobbled streets for the day. Even in the heat, it has surprising longevity

CARTHUSIA
ARIA DI CAPRI
5. Our last pick is Carthusia’s Aria di Capri. Carthusia’s perfumes are full to bursting with the smells and invocations of Capri Island, but for us this scent captures something truly special for wearing on your skin in warmer weather. Subtle yet imposing at the same time, this scent smells like sea breeze, blue skies and fresh Mediterranean flowers. It’s for spritzing first thing in the morning while your skin is still cool, before heading out into the sun to soak up all that stunning island life can offer

I'm not sure how or why but it started just today. Launcher takes forever to verify there's no new updates and then it's frozen for like a minute when i press play. Game itself though loads just fine as it did before. I've got a decent ssd and not sure why the problem even appeared.

How does music affect your heart rate?
First, studies suggest that compared to silence, music tends to increase heart rate and speed up breathing. Faster music also speeds up heart rate and breathing more than slower music. One study found that unpleasant music is associated with a decrease in heart rate compared to pleasant music.
Does music affect mood science project? They also noted that no negative side effects were reported in any of the trials, making music a low-risk treatment.
Does music affect blood pressure experiment?
Due to tense music, 100% of ting music had the opposite effect. 68% experienced a decrease in diastolic pressure and 100% experienced a decrease in systolic pressure due to soothing music.

Do loud noises affect heart rate experiment?
In the study of 110 adults equipped with portable heart monitors, researchers found that people’s heart rate tended to climb as their noise exposure increased — even when the noise remained below 65 decibels. That’s about as loud as a normal conversation or laughter.
Can music lower heart rate?
Sound processing begins in the brainstem, which also controls the rate of your heartbeat and respiration. This connection could explain why relaxing music may lower heart rate, breathing rate, and blood pressure — and also seems to ease pain, stress, and anxiety.
Can loud noises cause heart palpitations?
Loud noises often trigger a startle response with heart palpitations, perspiration, an increase in blood pressure and a dry mouth. In addition, increased neck tension can lead to headaches or earaches.
Does music affect your emotions?
All of this is, of course, backed by research that shows that music can affect our emotions in different ways. Happy, upbeat music causes our brains to produce chemicals like dopamine and serotonin, which evokes feelings of joy, whereas calming music relaxes the mind and the body.
How music affect your life?
Music affects our emotions. When we listen to sad songs, we tend to feel a decline in mood. When we listen to happy songs, we feel happier. Upbeat songs with energetic riffs and fast-paced rhythms (such as those we hear at sporting events) tend to make us excited and pumped up.
Does music help you study?
Music can improve your mood and help you feel more motivated to tackle important tasks, but it doesn’t always work as a study tool. Even people who love music might find it less than helpful when trying to concentrate. Music moves brain to pay attention, Stanford study finds.

Does music reduce BP?
“We know that the calming effect of music can help lower blood pressure. This study unsurprisingly found that patients who listened to classical music benefitted from a small decrease in blood pressure while listening, which would ease the work rate of the heart.
What music is good for the heart?
Music therapy was shown to help the heart to contract and push blood throughout the body, classical and rock music makes your arteries more supple, and listening to music during surgery helps to lower the heart rate to a more calming pace.
What type of music lowers blood pressure?
Classical music is most often used during therapy. One study at Marien Hospital Herne Üniversitätsklinikum in Germany has revealed that alongside music from Bach, Strauss and Mozart – heavy metal can also lower blood pressure.
Why does my heart sound so loud?
The familiar ‘lub-dub’ sound of the heartbeat is caused by the rhythmic closing of the heart valves as blood is pumped in and out of the chambers. A heart murmur is a whooshing, humming or rasping sound between the heartbeat sounds. This is caused by noisy blood flow within the heart.
What are the symptoms of hyperacusis?
Symptoms of hyperacusis
very quiet sounds are comfortable, but ordinary sounds (like voices at conversational volume) are too loud or distorted.
your own voice seems too loud or distorted.
low intensity sounds, such as the noise of a refrigerator, seem too loud.
sudden, loud noise can cause discomfort and pain.
Can loud noise increase blood pressure?
Loud noise (95 dBA or 100 dBA) caused an increase in blood-pressure in healthy normotensive subjects as well as in patients with essential hypertension.

Does it seem like breast cancer is in the news a lot lately? Need helping sorting out the facts? Well, it’s true that breast cancer is one of the most common types of cancer among American women. And, unfortunately, some risks for this disease cannot be changed.
For one thing, you’re more likely to develop it as you get older. In fact, women ages 50 and older make up most breast cancer cases. Those whose mothers, sisters, or daughters have had breast cancer also face a higher risk. Race and ethnicity play a role, too. For example, breast cancer develops more often in white women than in Black, Hispanic, Asian, or American Indian women.
Take action
There are other risk factors you can change, however. Follow these smart lifestyle strategies:
Scale back. Women who are overweight or obese after menopause have a higher risk for breast cancer than those at a healthy weight.
Stay on the move. Physical activity can help lower your chances of getting breast cancer.
Don’t tip your glass too often. The more you drink, the more you’re at risk. One alcoholic beverage a day can add up to a 10% increase in risk; 2 to 3 a day bumps it to 20%.
Clear the smoke away. According to the CDC, there’s evidence smoking may increase breast cancer risk.
Think produce. Some studies suggest that a diet high in fruits, vegetables, and calcium-rich dairy—but low in red and processed meats—might help lower the risk for breast cancer.
Schedule your screening
When breast cancer does strike, it’s very important to catch it in its early stages, when it’s most treatable. Mammograms are the best way to find breast cancer early. Experts have different recommendations for this screening:
The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommends screening every 2 years for women ages 50 to 74.
The American Cancer Society recommends a mammogram yearly for all women ages 45 to 54. Women ages 55 and older can continue with the same schedule or switch to getting a mammogram every other year.
Mammogram benefits and limitations vary based on factors like age and personal risk. Talk with your healthcare provider about your personal risk level before making a decision about when to start mammograms or how often to get them.

As per Section 2 (14) (ii) and (ix) of Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015 (JJ Act), a child who is found working in contravention of labour laws for the time being in force or is found begging, or living on the street and who is found vulnerable and is likely to be inducted into drug abuse or trafficking is included as a “child in need of care and protection”, among others.
The JJ Act, 2015 mandates a security net of service delivery structures to provide Institutional and non-Institutional care to these children. The primary responsibility of execution of the Act, as such, lies with the State/UTs. Ministry of Women and Child Development is implementing “Child Protection Services” (CPS) (erstwhile Integrated Child Protection Scheme), for care, protection, rehabilitation and reintegration of children in difficult circumstances. Under CPS, financial assistance is provided to State Governments/UT Administrations, for, inter-alia, undertaking a situational analysis of children in difficult circumstances, for setting up and maintenance of various types of Child Care Institutions (CCIs) for providing various rehabilitative services through institutional and non-institutional care.
The Ministry of Women and Child Development and Ministry of Railways have jointly taken up an initiative to ensure the care and protection, security and well being of run away, unaccompanied and trafficked children who may come in contact with Railway. The scheme supports 24x7 outreach helpline service for children in distress. This service is available through a dedicated toll free number, 1098 which can be accessed by children in crisis or by adults on their behalf from any place in the geographical location of India.
As per Ministry of Labour & Employment, Government of India has amended the Child Labour (Prohibition & Regulation) Act, 1986 and enacted Child Labour (Prohibition & Regulation) Amendment Act, 2016 which inter-alia covers complete prohibition on employment or work of children below 14 years of age in all occupations and processes; linking the age of prohibition of employment with the age for free and compulsory education under Right to Education Act, 2009; prohibition on employment of adolescents (14 to 18 years of age) in hazardous occupations or processes and making stricter punishment for the employers contravening the provisions of the Act. The amendment provides for stricter punishment for employers for violation of the Act and the employment of children or adolescents in contravention of the provisions of the Act has now been made a cognizable offence.
The Government of India is implementing the National Child Labour Project (NCLP) Scheme since 1988 for rehabilitation of child labour. Under the NCLP Scheme, children in the age group of 9-14 years are rescued/withdrawn from work and enrolled in the NCLP Special Training Centres, where they are provided with bridge education, vocational training, mid-day meal, stipend and health care, before being mainstreamed into the formal education system. Children in the age group of 5-8 years are directly linked to the formal education system through close coordination with the SarvaShikshaAbhiyan (SSA).
To ensure effective enforcement of the provisions of the Child Labour Act and smooth implementation of the National Child Labour Project (NCLP) Scheme a separate online portal PENCIL (Platform for Effective Enforcement for No Child Labour) has been developed. One of the components of PENCIL portal is the Child Tracking System which functions to monitor and track the rehabilitation of rescued children so that they do not fall in this vicious cycle of child labour.
As per latest data provided by National Crime Bureau (NCRB), State-wise and Gender-wise case registered, children missing during the year and total children missing during 2016 is given below:

I didn’t realize when I agreed to take care of my boss’s dog that his pet was Cerberus. That’s right, Cerberus. The three-headed giant beast with a serpent tail that guards Hell. Feeding him was difficult, to say the least (don’t be tardy with his food I learned after he took three sizeable chunks out of my arm) and walking him daily was a true nightmare.
Although after our initial stroll around the block, no dogs dare barked at him (those that were left), and cats simply vanished. None of the neighborhood gangs bothered us, so that was good.

Poco has unveiled its new device in India i.e. the Poco X2. The brand has been teasing the device for a long period and finally, they have launched the device. Basically, it’s a Redmi K30 4G rebranded as Poco X2. Since the launch of Poco F1 in 2018, Poco didn’t launch any other device. There were many rumors of the device for along. The second generation of Poco F1 i.e. Poco F2 will be launching when the Redmi K30 Pro gets announced in India. The new device comes with a glass sandwich design and also has a 27W charger in the box. This is pretty much more for the price which they offer the same.
Here in this article, we will share with you the Xiaomi Poco X2 Firmware Flash File Collections with a complete step-by-step guide to install the firmware manually.
Google’s Android is open-source software and easily customizable due to its open-source nature. It’s worth mentioning that the OS runs on the Linux platform. Therefore, most of the advanced users and developers can easily build any Custom ROM, mod files, root, tweaks, etc. Meanwhile, if you’ve flashed or tweaked your device previously, you may face some lag, boot loop, or soft brick issue. Mostly the Custom ROMs offer better visual treat and customizations but lack stability or security. This can be easily bypassed by flashing the Stock Firmware on your Poco X2 again depends on the model number.

Xiaomi Poco X2 Firmware Flash File:
Most of the Xiaomi devices run on MIUI custom skin over Android versions. The MIUI is a popular and widely used custom skin by users and developers globally. It’s well polished and fully featured UI just like OxygenOS and EMUI. Some of the other device models are also compatible with the custom MIUI ROM built by third-party developers. With each and every update, Xiaomi has improved the apps loading time, touch response time, system stability over customizations and new features. Most of the core Android features are available on the latest MIUI 10 for all the Xiaomi devices. Therefore, you don’t have to wait for the official Android version update.
Mostly the Stock ROM comes pre-installed on the device by smartphone OEMs but it doesn’t offer that much of customizations like any Custom ROM. Smartphone OEMs also provides locked device bootloader so that users get official update easily and maintain the device privacy. The company offers limited but fully functional and stable official stock firmware which can be used as a daily driver easily. While you really can’t use a custom firmware as your daily driver due to instability and bugs. Installing Stock firmware on your Xiaomi Poco X2 will get rid of any software-related issue or bug easily. Here is the Xiaomi Poco X2 stock firmware collection which you can download and flash on your device.

By sub been made recently about stand up paddle boarding. Along with wild swimming, it's perhaps one of the most popular outdoor activity trends of lockdown. And wed in popularity only by those death-trap motorised scooters that the students seem to have replaced walking with, but that is a separate issue.
I will admit that I was not immediately sold on SUPing. Not to show off, but I first tried it well before it hit the mainstream, in an organised session in Bristol Harbour. While I'm assured that it's really cleaner than you'd imagine, one look at the murky water, with its occasional floating crisp packet or plastic beer cup, and it was more than enough motivation to master this new skill as quickly as possible. There was no way I was taking a dip.
More recently, I've been testing out products for T3's best paddle boards for beginners guide. I was lucky enough to be loaned a Ride MSL paddle board package from Red Paddle Co – amongst the top paddle board brands – as well as a cheap and cheerful M.Y Pointbreak paddle board. For these, I headed to a stretch of river in the nearby countryside.

None of these trips exactly blew my socks off. My original issue with stand-up paddle boarding was that, providing you have an okay board and a passable sense of balance, it's really quite easy to do. (That's not necessarily true for everyone – taller people with broad shoulders, I've noticed, tend to struggle to stay stable. Probably something to do with your centre of gravity.) Either way, most people can achieve it without falling in even once.
That in itself is not a bad thing. It means lots of people can try it, and you don't need to be super fit or agile to take it up as a hobby. But it's also really quite slow. For a beginner, I'd say probably around walking pace. On all of these early trips I was fighting the feeling that I could be having a similar experience by simply walking along the bank, or harbourside, a couple of metres to my left. Which I'd be annoyed about if I'd paid for the paddle board.
SUPing in narrow rivers: not that exciting
(Image credit: Future)
That brings me to my big change of heart, and here's the crux of it: you need to take the board somewhere where you can't just walk. I went on an outdoor retreat for work (Thera-Sea (opens in new tab), if you're interested) that included stand-up paddle boarding in the River Fal in Southern Cornwall. It was a whole different experience. While still a river, the bay we set off from was tidal and saltwater, and a much bigger and wider expanse of water than I'd been exploring on previous SUP excursions.
In a location like this, the higher viewpoint really comes into its own. You get a completely unobstructed view of the whole area, and once you're in your SUPing stride, you can really take time to appreciate it. There are other benefits to this standing viewpoint too: it means you can see upcoming obstacles nice and early, and if the water is clear you might even be able to spot sealife too.
Over a longer period of time, and on slightly less calm waters, I reckon it's a pretty good workout too. You're using your core and legs to balance and constantly adjusting your positioning to stay upright, while your arms, shoulders and stomach get a decent workout pulling you along. As you get better you can also start to build up speed and improve your technique.
I've thought about it for a while and come to the conclusion that this is hands-down the best way to travel by water. Sure kayaking is fine, but you're all hunched up and quite often staring at the back of someone's head.
If you're worried about storage, don't be: pretty much all paddle boards come with a elasticated straps where you can attach a dry bag of valuables and essentials. One of the instructors on the Cornwall trip told us that she and her friends strap a tent to their paddle boards and take them on multi-day trips down the Cornish coast, pulling in on beaches when they get tired and wild camping at night. Right now, I'm struggling to think of a better way to travel.

January 5, 2021 Jim Lewis Founding Fathers Common Sense, Founders, New Year’s Day, Quotes, Thomas Paine
By: Michael Boldin
In the Appendix to Common Sense, first published on January 10, 1776 – Thomas Paine wrote about the “birthday of a new world,” with this timeless reminder that fits today – and every single day of the year:
“We have it in our power to begin the world over again.”
With that reminder as our foundation today – I wanted to share with you 9 more of my favorite quotes from leading founders that set the stage for how we’re approaching things in 2021, and beyond. I present them without comment – the words speak for themselves.
9. Richard Henry Lee – Elective Despotism
I suppose my dear Sir, that the good people of the U. States in their late generous contest, contended for free government in the fullest, clearest, and strongest sense. That they had no idea of being brought under despotic rule under the notion of “Strong government,” or in form of elective despotism: Chains being still Chains, whether made of gold or iron.
-Letter to Samuel Adams (5 Oct 1787)
Podcast episode on this topic here
8. James Otis, Jr. – Prudence
“When our rights are invaded, it is high time to throw aside prudence, and believe me my countrymen, he is not worthy your suffrages who on such an occasion wou’d prudently resign them for the sake of peace. He that is afraid to speak his mind, and is for suffering injury, injustice or oppression, rather than disturb public tranquility or more properly dangerous security, is not to be confided in; for it is always safer to oppose any the least infraction of our happy constitution, than prudently to acquiesce for the preservation of peace.”
Writing as “Freeborn American” (27 Apr 1767)
7. George Washington – Usurpation
“Let there be no change by usurpation; for though this, in one instance, may be the instrument of good, it is the customary weapon by which free governments are destroyed. The precedent must always greatly overbalance in permanent evil any partial or transient benefit, which the use can at any time yield.”
-Farewell Address (19 Sept 1796)
Video and Podcast: George Washington’s Warnings
6. Theophilus Parsons – Justified in Resistance
“The people themselves have it in their power effectually to resist usurpation, without being driven to an appeal to arms. An act of usurpation is not obligatory; it is not law; and any man may be justified in his resistance.”
-Speech in the Mass. Ratifying Convention (23 Jan 1788)
Video and Podcast: How to Deal with Unconstitutional Acts
5. James Iredell – Inherent right of the People
“Abuse may happen in any government. The only resource against usurpation is the inherent right of the people to prevent its exercise. This is the case in all free governments in the world. The people will resist if the government usurp powers not delegated to it.”
-Speech in the N.C. Ratifying Convention (29 Jul 1788)
4. Patrick Henry – Trust
“Show me that age and country where the rights and liberties of the people were placed on the sole chance of their rulers being good men, without a consequent loss of liberty! I say that the loss of that dearest privilege has ever followed, with absolute certainty, every such mad attempt.”
-Speech in the Virginia Ratifying Convention (5 Jun 1788)
3. Samuel Adams – Defending Freedom
“The truth is, all might be free if they valued freedom, and defended it as they ought.”
-Essay in the Boston Gazette (14 Oct 1771)
Video and Podcast: American Independence
2. James Madison – Refuse to Cooperate
“Should an unwarrantable measure of the federal government be unpopular in particular States, which would seldom fail to be the case, or even a warrantable measure be so, which may sometimes be the case, the means of opposition to it are powerful and at hand. The disquietude of the people; their repugnance and, perhaps refusal to cooperate with officers of the Union, the frowns of the executive magistracy of the State; the embarrassment created by legislative devices, which would often be added on such occasions, would oppose, in any State, very serious impediments; and were the sentiments of several adjoining States happen to be in Union, would present obstructions which the federal government would hardly be willing to encounter.”
-Federalist No. 46 (29 Jan 1788)
Video and Podcast: How to Stop Federal Programs
1. Thomas Jefferson – Free People
“A fee people claiming their rights, as derived from the laws of nature, and not as the gift of their chief magistrate”
-A Summary View of the Rights of British America (1774)
Video and Podcast: Thomas Jefferson’s Vision
As we kick off the New Year, we’re rolling up our sleeves every single day to take a stand for the Constitution and liberty against the largest and most powerful government in the history of the world.
Getting the job done won’t be easy, but no matter what the odds, it’s essential to do what’s right. And for us at the TAC, that’s the Constitution: Every issue, every time. No exceptions, no excuses.
Together with your help, we’ll continue setting the foundation for liberty in 2021 and beyond. Thank you for being here with us!

The maps below show an industrial area in the town of Norbiton, and planned future development of the sitewo illustrations are provided showing the manufacturing quarter of a town called Norbiton at present and the future layout. Overall, this area will be completely transformed into a residential area.
At present, the area is located east of the town with a river running from the west to the east in the north, north of which is farmland. In the middle, there is a roundabout with two exits, one of which links to the main road in the south and the other is oriented towards the east, and some factories are scattered on both sides of it as well as around the roundabout.
In the future, two new exits will be added to the roundabout. One heading northwest and the other north, which will cross a newly added bridge allowing access to new housing, leaving only the countryside in the northeast. A small roundabout will be constructed on the main road, linking to the large roundabout. The factories will be replaced with housing and facilities such as shops and a medical center. A school will be built in the east with a new park located nearby.

Sample Essay Band 8
Ac like getting higher job positions and improving skills but it has some drawbacks which will be discussed in this essay.
First, working in higher positions involves higher pressure and accepting higher uncertainty. As a result, if people want to have higher occupations and so higher salaries, they should take uncertainty. For example, a manager has a higher salary rather than a normal employee. Moreover, when people take risks, they provide circumstances which push them to improve their skills in the long term. In other words, people improve themselves, when they create a new situation and accept its uncertainty. For instance, a man who has no experience as a leader but accepts to be a leader; For a long period of time, his leadership skill will be improved.
On the other hand, taking risks has some drawbacks like getting failure and losing family. The obvious disadvantage of taking risks is getting failed. Consequently, people, who make a high-risk decision, might get failed more than others. Another point is that taking risks in personal lives increases the probability of losing family members. For example, for parents who do not save an amount of money for a critical situation, their kids may get sick and die because parents do not have enough money.
In conclusion, taking risks have some benefits and drawbacks, but I think the advantages of it outweigh the disadvantages.

The table and charts below give information on the police budget for 2017 and 2018 in one area of Britain. The table shows where the money came from and the charts show how it was distributedhe table details the sources of funding for the police and the pie charts show the distribution of this budget. Looking from an overall perspective, it is readily apparent that the contributions of all sources increased, though local taxes displayed the greatest funding growth. In terms of spending, thehe vast majority of the budget.
In 2017, the national government contributed 175.5 million pounds, slightly below the number for the following year (177.8m). Local taxes, in contrast, were lower overall in both years but grew considerably from £91.2 million to £102.3 million. Other sources, such as grants, were largely unchanged, rising slightly from 38 to 38.5 million. The total figure grew by 13.9m to 318.6m.

Sample Essay Band 8
Currently, there are many children who spend more time on their smartphones. The main reasons for such behavior are wanting to find distractions and escaping from reality. In my opinion, such an action cultivates negative habits in them.
As technology develops drastically, it has become much easier for children to have access to phones and get drawn into them. They feel that the online world has ways to sosuch as cartoons or playing games with others instead of trying to solve the problem. For these reasons, some children tend to spend more time on their phones rather than doing other activities.
Even though mobile phones can entertain children in various aspects, it does reinforce negative trend in them. When children spend a long while on their phones, they start to lose touch in face-to-face interaction and that can hinder their communication skills. For example, kids who interact with people of different ages through actual verbal conversation can develop eloquence and express themselves better compared to those who don’t. Furthermore, it can deteriorate the relationship between parents and children as there is a lack of communication. There is no doubt why it brings more setbacks than benefits.
In conclusion, some children like to spend more while on their smartphones compared to others. Although it can bring them entertainment and serve as a gateway from reality; meanwhile, it does implement adverse effects including lack of interaction with parents, unable to overcome challenges and lower verbal communication.
Writing Task 3 Test 1
You should spend about 20 minutes on this task.
The chart below gives information about how families in one country spent their weekly income in 1968 and in 2018he bar chart details average spending per week for families in a given country in the years 1968 and 2018. Looking from an overall perspective, it is readily apparent that while spending on food, fuel and power, clothing and footwear, and personal goods declined, the inverse was true for the remaining categories, with only household goods unchanged. Although spending on food was by far the most common in 1968, by 2018 leisure occupied the majority of the family budget, followed closely by housing.
In 1968, families spent on average 35% of their weekly income on food, greatly outstripping other budgetary concerns, each of which represented between 5% and 10%. Among these, fuel and power were the lowest at 6%.
By 2018, spending patterns diverged more widely. Food represented a still s Fuel and power, clothing and footwear, and personal goods all fell to 4%, 5%, and 4%, respectively. Household goods were the only expense to remain fixed, at 7%.

Some people believe that professionals, such as doctors and engineers, should be required to work in the country where they did their training. Others believe they should be free to work in another country if they wish.

Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.
Write at least 250 words.
Sample Essay Band 8
It has never been easier for a highly-trained individual to decide where to practice than now. However, people hold conflicting opinions about it. While some believe it is unfair to leave the region where one receives the training, others consider it a personal choice which should not be restricted.
Some reasons can support the idea why competent people, like doctors and engineers, should practice in their home country. Firstly, it usually costs a lot to train an eligible candidate into a professional regarding money and time, all of which will be a waste for the government if they decide to serve in another country. Secondly, the general trend of the talent movement is always from developing countries to developed ones, which, undoubtedly, will aggravate the disparity. For example, the United States and the United Kingdom absorb thousands of doctors annually worldwide, mostly from Asian and African countries, for higher salaries and more opportunessionals should consider the best interest of their country and stay.
Nonetheless, advocates, including myself, always believe that one has the freedom to migrate as one wishes. Although government sponsors the training, doctors and engineers are working and creating value for the government at the same time. Moreover, individuals are not responsible for invigorating a country. It is reasonable for them to make decisions based on personal interests, either for better career prospects or work-life balance. In addition, they can pay back to their home country by learning experiences from advanced areas and bringing them back home.
In conclusion, I think that it is a blessing for people from all over the world to move freely and one should always be allowed to choose their workplace if they can.
Writing Task 4 Test 1
You should spend about 20 minutes on this task.
The graph below shows the number of shops that closed and the number of new shops that opened in one country between 2011 and 2018he line chart details shop closures and openings in a given nation between 2011 and 2018. Looking from an overall perspective, it is readily apparent that both figures were in decline, though most noticeably the number of openings. After erratic trends for both categories, by the end of the period closures had become more common.
In 2011, there were approximately 8,500 openings in the country, significantly higher than the 6,200 closures. Over the next several years, openings dropped to a low of 4,000 and then partly recovered to 6,100 in 2014. Openings were more stable and rose to a peak of 7,100 in 2013 before reaching nearly the same level as closures in 2014.
After this point, closures fell dramatically to just 600 in 2015 before returning to slightly depressed levels and finishing the time surveyed at 5,100. In contrast, openings declined less substantially to around 4,000 between 2015 and 2017 and dipped to end at 3,000 precisely in 2018.
Writing Task 2 Test 4
You should spend about 40 minutes on this task. Write about the following topic:
Nowadays, a growing number of people with health problems are trying alternative medicines and treatments instead of visiting their usual doctor.
Do you think this is a positive or negative deurrently, a number of citizens who suffer from health issues are trying to find alternative remedies and treatment rather than visiting their physicians. While such solutions can alleviate the pain but they are not being cured completely and properly. This essay will discuss why eventually such a trend can significantly exacerbate the problem instead of solving it.
More people are now trying to find a cure for their health problems rather than going to experts to get treated. Many find that visiting their doctors to get checked up is time-consuming and costly. For instance, going to public hospitals can be cost-efficient but it can take up a whole day before they can get diagnosed. On another hand, private hospitals can provide assistance faster but that comes with excessive fees. Those who earn a low income, cannot afford it. As a result, they choose to find alternative medicines and treatments rather than seeing their usual doctors.
Although an increasing number of citizens are trying to find home remedies and treatments, it can crucially worsen the condition. Many of the alternative medicines and cures are not scientifically proven. When used wrongly, it may seem to stop the irritation or ache for a period of time but it can trigger the conditions to deteriorate in the future. For example, they might be using painkillers to lessen discomfor it. Hence, patients should visit their physicians instead of trying to find cures blindly by themselves.
In conclusion, the number of people finding other medicines and cures is increasing and avoiding seeing their doctors. For many, they see it as a solution that can save time and expense; while, ignoring the fact that it could cause more harm than good. In my opinion, such behavior is a negative development that can cost them their lives.

In He-Man and the MOTU #8 we witness the continuing journey to Mount Zoar! This will be a SPOILER FREE Review!
A BOLD NEW ADVENTURE continues here! I’m getting used to reading Dan Abnett’s style in continuing on with Keith Giffen’s story origins here. I just wish the cover for #8 was something a little more eye popping.
Writing:
This story is a narrative piece. It’s a informational piece, with very little action. OK in the beginning there is some action, but the way Abnett writes the story, it feels like scene from Law & Order where the criminal has no time to talk to the cops, so they walk and talk. The interesting thing within this part of the story is which awesome character shows up! I dunno since the issue has been out for a week if that has been spoiled elsewhere, but I’m not gonna Spoil it here! Let me just say it’s interesting to see this character outside of the cartoons. Keep in mind that before the 2012 mini series by Giffen, I have not read any other MOTU comics.
So What Lies Within Part 2 is the journey of our heroes Randor, Adam, Teela, and Battle Cat as they make their way to Mount Zoar. It was revealed in issue #7 that King Randor wants to resurrect The Sorceress, and they must get to the mountain to beg the goddess Zoar of Eternia to do this. I do have to admit that I very much enjoyed the storytelling from Randor’s point of view, in that he is telling the stories of why he believes in this magic. I have to say this BOLD NEW ADVENTURE is reading faster than I thought it would. I wasn’t too keene on issue #7, maybe because of the creative team change-up. However now I’m ready to see how Dan Abnett pays all this off.
Art:
Rafael Kayanan is the NEW artist on board with Dan Abnett. Mr. Kayanan continues to impress me with the backgrounds and character designs that he is using. Again I’m still not a fan of He-Man’s unsder armor, because it looks like something Tony Stark would make as an Iron Man suit. However other then that the art in issue #8 is great! I love how Rafael uses other colors that are suited to that character to distinguish their speeh bubbles. I think that is a very interesting little piece of attention that adds to the understanding of who is talking. Especiall as you read the book, it might get confusing sometimes when speech bubbles are all white background with black text.
Love the way the NEW character looks in this. The one I said I wasn’t gonna spoil who it is. The full page spread above is a very awesome way to show off a battle, and I very much like how the artists did that. The colors in this issue pop more than I thought they even could. It’s a middle ground between eye blinding bright colors, and very dark tones. I think it was pulled off nicely.
Final Thoughts:
I’m gonna give this one a “Perfect” rating, because I’m much more into what this creative team is doing now. The reasoning for the perfect is that everything about the issue is very interesting, and it hooked me into seeing how it plays out. It’s very mysterious in the writing, and I can’t wait to see what happens.
Final Rating:

Eureka lemon produces a good quantity of fruit in season through the end of winter, and also produces lesser quantities throughout the year.

PUBLISHED: March 14, 2017 at 12:00 a.m. | UPDATED: September 11, 2018 at 12:00 a.m.
Fresh lemon — including the juice and the peel — is one of my all-time favorite ingredients, in part because it’s just so versatile. It can be the star of the show (as in this recipe) or a brilliant supporting actor (as in so many of my everyday dishes). It’s indispensable in fish dishes and pairs beautifully with all sorts of vegetables, raw and cooked. I also reach for it regularly to brighten up soups, stews and sautes.
The great thing about lemon peel, also known as the zest, is that it adds intense lemon flavor to a recipe without all the acid that is found in the juice. I use grated lemon zest in scrambled eggs and creamy pasta dishes and combine it with chopped herbs as a finishing touch for braised meats.
Whichever parts you use, it’s important to start with the best possible lemons. The winning candidates will boast a bright yellow color and a thin skin. A thin skin signals more juice and less pith (the bitter-tasting white layer between the peel and the fruit itself). When grating the peel, you want to stop short of the pith. How do you know a given specimen has a thin skin? It will give a little when you squeeze it.
Once home with your lemons, scrub each one lightly under water to remove the edible wax with which it was covered to protect the fruit on its journey to the market. If your recipe calls for zest and juice, grate the zest before you juice the lemon. But don’t grate the zest until just before you’re ready to add it to the recipe. Zest quickly dries out and loses its oomph if it sits around for very long.
My favorite tool for grating zest is a wand-style grater. Once upon a time, the tool of choice was the fine side of a four-sided grater. Unfortunately, this gadget often grabbed too much of the pith — not to mention the tips of your fingers — in the process. I do my grating over a piece of kitchen parchment, which allows me to pick up and measure the zest easily. The yield is roughly 1 tablespoon of zest per large lemon. If your recipe calls for zest but not juice, wrap the unused lemon in plastic wrap when you’re done and do your best to use it up within a few days. A lemon stripped of its protective layer of zest dries out pretty quickly.
There are several ways to make sure you squeeze the maximum amount of juice from your lemon. First, soften up the fruit by rolling it on the counter and pressing down as you do. Second, heat it, either by microwaving it for 20 seconds or so or by stashing it in the oven at 350 F for 10 to 12 minutes. Finally, cut the lemon in half crosswise and juice it.
I like to juice using an old-fashioned and brightly colored Mexican hand press. But there’s also a more unorthodox, if equally effective, way to do it. Place the cut lemon half in between the two arms of a set of tongs, right at the top where the arms are joined. Then squeeze the bottom ends together. I learned this little trick from Ming Tsai, who picked it up from Jasper White, two of my favorite chefs. One large lemon will give up about 1/4 cup of juice.
These muffins are quite rich, better suited to dessert than breakfast (though they would indeed be a delightful morning splurge on a special occasion). Made with juice and zest, their deep lemon flavor is complemented by the raspberries.
Lemon Raspberry Pound Cake Muffins
Start to finish: 45 minutes (15 minutes active)
Servings: 8
Ingredients
1 cup (4 1/2 ounces) cake flour (not self-rising)
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon table salt
1/4 cup grated lemon zest
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons plus 1 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice, divided
1 pint raspberries
1/4 cup plus 2 teaspoons powdered sugar
Directions
Heat the oven to 325 F. Line a cupcake tin with 8 paper cupcake liners.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt and lemon zest. In a large bowl with an electric mixer, beat together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition, then beat in the vanilla. Add half the flour mixture and mix just until combined. Beat in the cream and 2 tablespoons of the lemon juice. Add the remaining flour mixture, beating just until combined.
Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling them halfway. Press 4 raspberries gently into the center of the batter in each cup, then top with more batter, filling the cups just up to the tops of the liners. Bake the cupcakes on the oven’s center shelf until golden on top and a toothpick inserted at the center comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Transfer the cakes to a wire rack and let cool completely.
While the cupcakes are baking, make the glaze. In a small bowl whisk together the powdered sugar and remaining lemon juice until smooth. When the cupcakes are cooled, drizzle the glaze over each cake.

Her family will receive friends on Saturday, February 19, 2022 from 1:00-3:00 PM at the First Church of God in Owosso, MI. The funeral service will begin at 3:00 PM with Pastor April Crump officiating. Burial will follow at Pine Tree Cemetery in Corunna, MI.
Margie was born September 20, 1954 in Topeka, Kansas to the late James and Jeanette (Johnson) Mayall.
Margie was a lifelong Shiawassee County resident who was an active member of the Lions Club and the First Church of God in Owosso. She loved to sew, do DIY projects, and spend time with family and friends.

Umpire and captain KL Rahul intervened in between these players
— Addicric (@addicric) January 6, 2022
Heating argument between Mohammad Siraj and South African captain Dean Elgar starts in the 65th over of South Africa’s innings.
After heavy rain on the fourth day of the Johannesburg Test, when the game started in the last session,
Team India hoped that their bowlers would take advantage of this condition and put pressure on South Africa. But the South African batsmen did not give any chance.

Dean Elgar took on Mohammad Siraj in the 65th over of the innings. And hit four fours in his over.
After this, Siraj became very angry and clashed with Elgar on the middle ground. In view of the growing dispute between the two players, captain KL Rahul and the umpire had to come to the rescue.
Mohammad Siraj and Dean Elgar arguments
This is South Africa’s first win against Team India in Johannesburg. Earlier these two teams had clashed 5 times on this ground. In which Team India won 2 matches.
The remaining 3 matches were drawn. This time too no one thought that the South African team would be able to successfully chase such a big score.
The pitch was also difficult to bat, but the South African batsmen batted brilliantly. But Captain Elgar led the team from the front and gave a spectacular victory.
The Indian bowlers looked completely helpless. Team India’s fast bowler Mohammad Siraj could not tolerate this helplessness and he clashed with the South African captain.
In next match we are expecting that Virat Kohli came on ground and hold his responsibility of captaincy.

Palestinian Arabs have long argued that they have been indigenous to the area for generations- indeed some claim from time immemorial. This may be true for a segment of the population living in the hill country but in the remainder of Palestine, the reality is otherwise: there were considerable Egyptian and other Arab population movements into and out of Palestine taking place.
The indigenous population of the plains, such as it was, was migratory in character. In addition to the insecurity created by marauders, the environmental, physical economic conditions of the area were hard. Fellahin would come, settle for a short time and move on when living conditions became intolerable. In particular, other than in the hills, rural settlement was threatened by Turkoman devastation. However the Arab population increased beyond its natural birth rate due to significant migration into Palestine from Egypt fleeing from compulsory military service 1839 – 1849 or forced labour on the Suez Canal construction 1858-1869.
a. Inward Arab Settlement of Palestine pre 1918
Inward migratory settlement came from both Ottoman (Turkish) and Egyptian sources:
i. Ottoman Grant of Asylum to Muslim Refugees
The Ottomans granted asylum to Moslem refugees fleeing from their homelands for political and religious reasons:
After the French conquest of Algeria in 1830, many Algerians settled in Lower and Upper Galilee. This region also attracted other immigrant Moslem Arabs from Damascus, and Kurds from Syria;
In 1878, the Ottomans permitted Circassian refugees fleeing from Christian-Russian rule in the Caucasus to settle in cis- and trans-Jordan;
Turkoman tribes from the mountains of Iraq were allowed ultimately to settle on the slopes of Mount Carmel;
In 1908, Arabs from Yemen settled in Jaffa.
ii. Egyptian Émigrés
One of the most important Arab migrations into Palestine came from Egypt during the early and min-nineteenth century.
Egyptian Army Conscription
Muhammad Ali, (aka Mehemet Ali) the Ottoman viceroy of Egypt between 1805-1849, instituted a number of administrative reforms within his territory. Most significantly he established a standing army by means of conscription in 1829. As a consequence, many Egyptian peasants fled to Palestine to avoid such service. This was to be of little avail, because Ali’s son, Ibrahim Pasha, invaded and occupied Palestine between 1831-1841 and they again came under his control. During this period he ‘imported’ more Egyptian labourers into Palestine in addition to those who were already there.
Ultimately, Ottoman forces supported by the European powers – especially Britain – forced Ibrahim Pasha to withdraw. In the process, however, his army suffered considerable desertion from its ranks, and those who escaped remained in Palestine, hiding in small settlements. British intelligence estimated that the number of troops reaching Cairo in the withdrawal approximated some 33,000, compared with 125,000 before the retreat, leaving 92,000 unaccounted for.
In the 1860’s over 1.5 million Egyptian labourers were conscripted for the construction of the Suez Canal, of whom 120,000 died in the process. This, too, may also have created an impetus to flee Egypt and to settle in Palestine. (Arieh L. Avneri, The Claim of Dispossession Jewish Land- Settlement and the Arabs 1878-1948, Yad Tabenkin, Efal, Israel, Herzl Press, New York 1982 (hereinafter ‘Avneri’); Interview Prof. David Grossman 28.07.08)
Employment Opportunities on Public Works Projects
Inward migration to Palestine was also stimulated by new employment opportunities. The Ottoman government commenced railway, road and port construction projects in Palestine, most of which was financed from Europe. These works created increased commercial traffic through the ports of Jaffa and Haifa and the general economic boom that attracted Arab labour from Egypt, Syria and Trans-Jordan, as well as the indigenous Palestinian fellah.
Egyptian settlers particularly were scattered among many urban and rural points, appropriating large tracts of land and lending variety and numbers to the existing population. The Ghawarna and Arab ez-Zubeid Bedouin tribes and other Egyptian immigrants settled in the Hula (near the Sea of Galilee) and Beit-Sheaan Valleys; members of the Arab el-Ufi and ed-Damair tribes settled respectively in Wadi Hawarith (near Tulkarm) and in the vicinity of Hadera; while other Egyptian migrants settled in and around Jaffa.
The assimilation of the Egyptians with the indigenous Arab population was a drawn-out process. After his visit to Palestine in 1917, Philip Baldensperger relates that the existing population of Jaffa, although essentially Arab, contained at least twenty five different nationalities, most of them Palestinian and Egyptian Arabs (Avneri p.14).
b. Outward Arab Migration Caused by Personal and Property Insecurity Within Palestine
Although Arab migration into Palestine increased, the total Arab population in the nineteenth century rose only slightly, because of internecine strife leading to internal instability which caused significant emigration:
i. numerous and incessant village and factional internal wars:
between “Quais” and the “Yaman” villages located near Jerusalem (see Ruth Kark and Michal Oren-Nordheim, Jerusalem and its Environs, Quarters Neighbourhoods Villages , 1800 -1948, Wayne State University Press, 2001, pp 232-234)
in Nablus, between the pro-Egyptian Abd el-Hadi faction and pro-Turkish Tuqan faction;
along the ridge of Mount Carmel seventeen Druse villages were destroyed in the chaos which followed in the wake of the Egyptian retreat from Palestine;
during the late 1830’s, 1860’s and 1870’s, Bedouins ousted fellahin from the Jordan Valley, the Sharon Plain, Beit Shean and the Jezreel Valley, leaving the land desolate and uncultivated; (Avneri, pp 20-22)
in the Hebron region during the late 1890’s, between the Bedouin ed-Dulam and fellahin of Yatta village.
ii. Marauding Bedouins uprooted settled fellahin, stimulating their emigration.
The nature and extent of Bedouin attacks have been discussed earlier and they were a prime factor in creating outward migration
iii Arab emigration to North and South America
Palestine experienced significant Arab emigration by those who perceived a better life in the New World. Avneri quotes Arthur Ruppin, a contemporary sociologist, as stating:
There is emigration from the Christian districts, such as Bethlehem, Beit-Jala and Ramallah to North and South America, even though in smaller numbers than in Lebanon…. The American Consul in Jerusalem (Daily Consular Trade Reports 6-6-14) estimates the emigration from the Jerusalem District at 3000 annually, of whom 30% are Christians, 35% Moslems and 35% Jews. Thus from the Jerusalem District alone, 2000 Arabs emigrated annually (pp. 25-26)
A similar population exodus occurred from the north of Palestine in the area of Safed.
iv. Escapees from Turkish Army Conscription
During World War I many young Arab men fled from Palestine in order to evade Turkish military conscription.
In addition to those fleeing from conscription, the Ottoman central military authorities concluded that the presence of Arabs and Jews in coastal plains constituted a security threat. However the regional military commander applied a discriminatory policy of expulsion. Arabs were left undisturbed. Jews on the other hand were expelled from the port areas of Jaffa and Haifa. But for the intervention of the German government, they would also have been expelled from the coastal lands which they had developed agriculturally.
(see Isaiah Friedman, Germany, Turkey and Zionism 1897-1918, Clarendon Press, Oxford, 1977,pp.—)
Thus, in summary and contrary to contemporary Palestinian claims, a very large percentage of Arab settlers in Palestine were neither indigenous nor had they worked the land from time immemorial. Like the Jews, they too, were immigrants who settled only a generation or two prior to the start of significant Jewish immigration.

5. External Responses to Ottoman Internal Changes
Thursday, September 25th, 2008
One of the most significant changes in Ottoman internal policy which impacted on foreign interests generally and sectarian concerns in particular (both Christian and Jewish), related to the acquisition of land in Eretz Yisrael- Palestine.
As explained earlier the sale of land to Christians and Jews under 1858 Ottoman land reformation legislation was generated not by a new liberalism per se. On the contrary, the internal economic exigencies associated with the costs of the Ottoman centralisation of its public administration and discharging its foreign indebtedness made the Porte more vulnerable to foreign influence, brought to bear by respective foreign consuls.
a. Christian Land Acquisitions.
Events in Europe in the latter half of the nineteenth century and first two decades of the twentieth brought a degree of Christian interest in developing their holy sites. The objective of these acquisitions was to gain and maintain control over distinctive and separate Christian holy places in Palestine and to establish religious institutions.
For the Christians, these purchases were motivated by missionary, humanitarian, philanthropic, social and political objectives. Other, private, individual investors were also encouraged by the Ottoman government to acquire and develop land, especially if they surrendered their European citizenship and assumed that of the Ottomans.
France gave its support to the Roman Catholic acquisition in Nazareth (and to the Maronite Christians), Russia supported the Eastern Church in Jerusalem and Germany supported the Templar settlements in Jerusalem and Haifa. Britain extended its protection to the Anglicans and also to the Jews.
According to Professor Kark, the churches and the missions were the most active land purchasers among the Christians in the second half of the nineteenth century. Prominent among them were the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate, Roman Catholics, Armenians, Anglicans, German Evangelist Community and smaller churches, including Ethiopians, Copts, and Greek Catholics. In the aggregate, the Christian Churches acquired both directly and indirectly through Ottoman nominees extensive urban property interests in and around Jerusalem, Bethlehem, Nazareth, Haifa, Beit Jalla, Acre and large rural holdings in areas that were sparsely populated, such as the Coastal Plain, Jezreel Valley, Galilee, Beit Shaan, and Jordan Valley. This activity provided a purchasable (fluid) inventory of relatively empty and inexpensive lands. (Kark p. 362).
Kark also makes particular reference to The Temple Society founded in Germany during the mid-nineteenth century, whose members believed in the importance of settling in Palestine. It established centres in Haifa, Jaffa and Jerusalem, as well as a number of small villages. On the eve of World War I, the Society’s population in the cities amounted to some 1,400 persons, in addition to 624 persons in the villages (Kark p.365)
Initiatives by private investors in land development were also forthcoming from European entrepreneurs, amongst whom were Emil Bergheim, a banker who established a farm near Tel Gezer managed on European principles and equipped with modern machinery, Swiss-born Johannes Frutinger – both of whom were German subjects, and British-born Lawrence Oliphant.
In addition to establishing their own religious institutions, a number of influential Christians writers, notably Alexander Keith of the Church of Scotland, writing in 1843, English social reformer, Lord Shaftsbury, in his 1853 correspondence with Foreign Minister, Lord Palmerston, and William Eugene Blackstone, an American Christian, writing in 1881 on his return to the United States after a visit to the area, saw for themselves the extent of human habitation in Palestine or, more accurately, the relative absence of it, and advocated the restoration of a Jewish population to Palestine as an essential part of their respective belief systems.
b. Religious Jewish Land Acquisition
i. Expansion of Existing Urban Settlement.
Religiously motivated Jewish migration from Europe (and also from Yemen) in anticipation of the coming of the messianic millennium succeeded in encouraging only a very limited Jewish migration to Palestine.
The faith of religious Jews in Palestine was sorely tested by political-sectarian violence and by natural and human disasters.
Politically, between 1831-1841, Muslim authorities and the local Arab population encouraged Arab fellahin to rebel against the rule of Egyptian Muhammed Ali’s son, Ibrahim Pasha, during his occupation of Palestine. In the process, they rampaged against the Jews of Safed and other towns, looting their property; destroying their homes; desecrating their synagogues and study-houses; raping, beating and, in many cases, killing Jews.
In 1837 an earthquake killed more than two thousand Jews in the Galilee; the Messiah failed to appear in 1840, contrary to the predictions of the Kabalists; and plagues raged throughout the region.
Despite these setbacks, Jewish religiously motivated urban migration continued to grow but at a low rate. It must be borne in mind that the religious Jewish urban communities were not self-sustaining. Their male population did not engage in agriculture, manufacturing or commerce, but were, in the main, committed to the performance of religious precepts, the study of Jewish religious texts and the philosophic evolution of religious thought (including Kabbalah). It was the Jewish woman who, in addition to caring for their husbands and households, engaged in ‘trade’ and marketing. The communities relied upon the distribution (‘halukah’) of financial donations sent voluntarily by Jewish communities in the diaspora or collected by Jewish emissaries sent from Palestine for that purpose.
(see Andrew G. Bostom, Under Turkish Rule, FrontPage magazine July 27, 2007 (Part I) and Part II August 3, 2007
In 1855, English missionary W.H. Bartlett records in his book, ‘Jerusalem Revisited,’ that the Jewish community in Jerusalem numbered over 11,000. James Finn, the second British consul in Jerusalem, confirms this fact in his book Stirring Times, published in 1878. Other writers, notably, Mary Elisa, Andrew Bonar and W.F. Lynch, confirm in their respective books and reports during the 1840-1860’s an increased Jewish immigration and active Jewish communities and institutions in Haifa, Nablus and Jaffa, respectively. (see Behat)
Notwithstanding the danger to life and limb from Bedouin raids, pillage and general banditry in the region, Jewish residents of the Old City of Jerusalem were compelled, by reasons of overcrowding and insanitary conditions prevailing there, to seek the aid of Sir Moses Montefiore in establishing Jewish urban settlement outside the walls of the City.
Montefiore had already received a firman from the Sultan allowing for the reconstruction of a synagogue in the Old City. In the process he took the opportunity of purchasing a tract of land to the west of the city as the site for almshouses, Mishkenot Sha’ananim, for Jerusalem’s Jewish population overflow. In 1859, however, implementation of the project was suspended under orders of the local Ottoman authorities, who were no longer willing to classify it as a business or trade or even to consider it as philanthropy (which would have been permissible). It took a year of considerable effort to persuade Fuad Pasha, the Ottoman Foreign Minister, to grant Sir Moses an ‘exceptional permission’ to proceed with the construction of housing (which without the special permission would have been prohibited) for twenty families. The project was completed and dedicated in 1861. (Friedman, 1977, p. 36)
The continuing growth of the Jewish urban population in Eretz Yisrael put pressure on the community to create a second urban settlement outside Jerusalem’s walls. In 1880, Mea Shearim was established by a building society comprising 100 shareholders, who pooled their resources to acquire a tract of land a little farther away from Mishkenot Sha’ananim. Constructed by both Jewish and non-Jewish workers, 100 apartments were ready for occupancy by October 1880. Development continued, such that, by the turn of the century, the suburb had 300 houses, a flour mill and a bakery.
However, the existing Jewish population could barely sustain itself – let alone expand – being downtrodden, poverty stricken and lacking local resources. Support – financial, human and spiritual – had to come from the European Jewish Diaspora. But even this was not achieved without difficulty.
Indeed one of the main fears lying in the hearts of the existing Jewish urban settlements was that the haluka on which they relied would be reduced if demands for other purposes were made on Jewish philanthropists in the Diaspora. It was this fear that led a number religious Jews to oppose the settlement in Eretz Yisrael of poverty stricken Jewish migrants fleeing from East-European anti-Semitism.
It must also be remembered that, in general, the Ottoman authorities were opposed to any settlement in Palestine by persons who claimed foreign consular protection. Even individual Jews who were born in the Empire and inherited property but claimed to be under foreign jurisdiction were told that unless they renounced their consular protection their title deeds would be invalidated.
ii. Early Attempts at Establishing Jewish Agricultural Settlement
During the second half of the nineteenth century, there were also attempts at establishing a Jewish agricultural settlement. In 1859 a Baghdadi Jew, Shaul Yehuda, with the aid of British Consul James Finn, purchased farmland on the outskirts of Jerusalem in Motza, from the nearby Arab village of Colonia, for agricultural and industrial purposes (a tile factory). Unfortunately, legal complications prevented the construction of the settlement for some considerable time, although a travellers’ inn was established at the site in 1871.
While rural settlement close to Jerusalem may have been blocked for the time being, as was earlier noted in Chapter the Jewish messianic impetus to bring about a Jewish return to agricultural work still continued.(see Arie Morgenstern, Dispersion and Longing for Zion 1240-1840 in Azure, 2002, Winter Issue, Shalem Center, Jerusalem, (hereinafter ‘Morgenstern’ )
Although the Jewish migration to Palestine grew out of the messianic dream, it was an obscure orthodox Sephardi rabbi, Rabbi Judah Alkelai from Belgrade, who began to promote the necessity for establishing Jewish agricultural settlements in Palestine as a prelude to the Redemption. By the 1870’s he succeeded in attracting only a small group of followers to settle together with him in Palestine, before his death in 1878, but his extensive writing stirred others to consider doing likewise.
Contemporaneously, other rabbinical figures in Poland with substantial followings, such as Rabbis Zvi Hirsh Kalischer and Eliyahu Guttmacher, believed that the Jewish people would be redeemed only after they first returned to the land of Israel, worked the land and observed the commandments relating to the land. Instead of waiting passively for the Messiah, redemption could be achieved by natural means – self help. Jews should purchase land in Palestine, establish agricultural settlements and send poor Jews from Europe to be farmers, so as to colonize Palestine without delay.
Only when many pious and learned Jews volunteered to live in Jerusalem, Kalischer explained, would the Creator hearken to their prayers and speed the Day of Redemption. Prayers would not suffice. Kalischer urged the formation of a society of rich Jews to undertake the colonization of Zion; settlement by Jews of all backgrounds on the soil of the Holy Land; the training of young Jews in self-defence; and the establishment of an agricultural school in the Land of Israel where Jews might learn farming and other practical subjects. Far from undermining the study of the Torah (the first five books of the Bible), “the policy we propose will add dignity to the Torah …. ”
(Howard M. Sachar A History of Israel From the Rise of Zionism to Our Time, Alfred A. Knopf, 2nd ed. New York 2003 (Sachar- History ) pp.7-8
To implement their ideas, Guttmacher and Kalischer made appeals to European Jewry to raise money for Jewish settlement in Palestine and participated in a conference in Thorn (Torun, Western Poland) in 1860. This laid the groundwork for the establishment of the Society for the Settlement of the Land of Israel.
However, Jewish religious efforts to return to Eretz Yisrael in significant numbers had to await the occurrence of East European (Rumanian and Russian) Anti-Semitic Violence and the failure of Western European secular ‘Haskala’ (Enlightenment) movements to eliminate Anti-Semitism in order to produce a combined Jewish religious and secular response expressed in practical, cultural and political Zionism.

A bit of Background on why Navajo Veterans are Marching AGAIN to the Navajo Council, Navajo President Jonathan Nez, and Vice President Myron Lizer regarding their annual budget, which is under the Navajo Nation VA. Navajo veterans have repeatedly Informed the Council, Nez and Lizer about the Disrespectful behavior of James Zweirlei since 2020. Nez&lizer appointed Zweirlein as Navajo Nation VA director and approved a six-year contract with Zweirlein. The Navajo veterans & Navajo Council have repeatedly asked nez&lizer for a copy of Zweirlein’s six-year contract. A copy of Zweirlein’s six-year contract was provided to the Navajo Council, but before a Council Delegate can see Zweirlein’s contract, he or she has to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement, which means they are legally bound not to talk about Zweirlein’s six-year contract. And that Reeks of Censorship by nez&lizer, who from now on should never say that Navajo Veterans Fought & Died for our Freedom. Censorship is NOT Freedom.
The following is an email that was sent to Nez&lizer Chief of Staff Paulsen Chaco on Sept. 8, 2020, from Northern Agency Veterans’ Organization Commander Vern Lee and copied to other Navajo Veterans’ Organizations and veterans:
“Mr Chaco,
Northern Agency Veterans organization, Crownpoint Agency Veterans organization, Ft Defiance Veterans organization and Chinle Veterans organization are opposing legislation 0173-20. Veterans Act with President Nez signature on that law says, that NVA Director will enter into agreement with veterans organization. This did not occur and we have been telling you about NVA behavior and disrespectful attitude towards Navajo veterans and culture. You were present at a meeting when we (NNVAC) at the time express our concerns to Zweirlein. You know our concerns sir. With you and Zweirlein lobbying the delegates on Navajo money, resourses and time is throwing Navajo Veterans under the bus. Please work with the local veterans and we are willing to talk to President Nez. He does not give us the time to talk but we are asking because we voters put him in office.
Thank you sir”
On Sept. 27, 2021, Nez&lizer issues a press release regarding Nez’s signing of Navajo Council’s approval of the Navajo Nation’s Fiscal 2022 operating budget and the following statement that he approved funding for veterans in each of the five agencies to help provide direct services and assistance. (The Council approved the funding. Nez just signs or vetos.)
Nez also stated in his press release that “he is open to working with veterans and Council members to improve funding policies and procedures that hinder benefits. I am very thankful to our Navajo veterans, our warriors, for bringing forth their concerns to leadership last week. We sign this funding into law and we will continue meeting with veterans to work toward more solutions to address concerns. The Veterans Housing Program received approval last week from the Health, Education, and Human Services Committee to move the program forward to begin building homes for veterans. If there are any concerns with the budgets, we will sit down and talk through those issues with our veterans and Council members.”
It’s July 15, 2022, and the Navajo Veterans are Marching again because Nez&lizer seem to always Lose their Hearing when Navajo veterans speak.

TypoPolo
29.04 – 20.07.2014
"TypoPolo” is a notion which describes an aesthetic phenomenon, namely, the amateur designs of advertisements, signboards or informative inscriptions made for small businesses and crafts, which came into being in the Polish public sphere of the 1990s.
The style constitutes a visual reflection of economic and political transformations in Poland and a symbol of the romantic turning point, in which “everyone could be who they wanted to be and where everything was possible”. “TypoPolo” is perceived in the circles of professional graphic artists mainly as a sign of the ineptitude and bad taste of amateur designers. Much less frequently it is seen as a form of the visual language of a certain social group or the evidence of the changing aesthetics. It combines what is worst and what is best in Polish applied graphics – being the manifestation of kitsch, amateurishness and crudeness on the one hand and incorporating authenticity, guilelessness and straightforwardness on the other.
Today, due to the professionalization of the market of printing and advertising services and the changed aesthetic standards, the style of "TypoPolo" is quickly disappearing. And although the professional ”Helvetica” dominated the signboards and inscriptions in Polish cities, “TypoPolo” cannot be erased. It will remain forever a non-recognized and embarrassing part of the Polish visual identity.
This crowding out makes us face numerous important questions connected with designing and visual culture: about the carelessly lost post-war lettering tradition, about the long-forgotten ethos of a craftsman – designer, about the factual usefulness of designers to the local community and about whose visual language and aesthetic taste rules in the public sphere.
The “TypoPolo” exhibition constitutes an attempt to grasp and describe visual actions connected with vernacular graphics, accidental typography and bottom-up designing. The exposition consists of examples: of signboards, lettering and inscriptions displayed in shop windows in the form of original objects and photographic documentation. Part two is made up of typographic and graphic designs realized by professional designers who seek inspiration in the “TypoPolo”. The exposition is concluded by a set of undertakings examining the issue of visual identity and designing for local businesses and crafts.
The accompanying programme of the exhibition will include a one-day symposium, held on May 24th at the Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw, devoted to vernacular typography, attended, among others, by: Marian Misiak, Hokobo, members of the Stowarzyszenie Miastodwa association and the Dizajn-BWA gallery.
The exhibition was organized in cooperation with the Dizajn-BWA gallery in Wrocław. The second part of the exhibition will be shown in Wrocław, in September 2014.

LIPMAN PIKE
AMERICA'S FIRST HOME RUN KING
by Richard Michelson & illustrated by Zachary Pullen ‧ RELEASE DATE: March 1, 2011
Lipman Pike played “Base” every chance he could get in his Brooklyn neighborhood. His parents were not sure it was the right thing for a Jewish boy to be doing, but they also want him to fit in with his peers. This was post–Civil War America, and the game was still in its infancy, at least in terms of organized play. The first leagues were loosely formed and were for amateurs, although several players were secretly paid. When Lip grew up, he was fast and strong and could hit for distance. He played variously for teams in Philadelphia, New Jersey, New York City and Troy, N.Y. He often faced anti-Semitism and distrust, but he won over his teammates and the “cranks” with his outstanding play. He led his league in home runs and even proved he could outrun a racehorse. Michelson adeptly employs fictional conversations interwoven with factual details as he reconstructs a long-forgotten time, managing to bring Pike’s story out of obscurity and relate it to modern young readers. Pullen’s lively, large-scale, brightly colored illustrations vividly capture the action and the time period. Text pages are augmented with sepia drawings of 19th-century newspapers, baseball scenes and equipment. An insight into baseball and America that is at once historical and timeless.

THE AMAZING AGE OF JOHN ROY LYNCH
by Chris Barton ; illustrated by Don Tate ‧ RELEASE DATE: April 1, 2015
An honestly told biography of an important politician whose name every American should know.
Published while the United States has its first African-American president, this story of John Roy Lynch, the first African-American speaker of the Mississippi House of Representatives, lays bare the long and arduous path black Americans have walked to obtain equality. The title’s first three words—“The Amazing Age”—emphasize how many more freedoms African-Americans had during Reconstruction than for decades afterward. Barton and Tate do not shy away from honest depictions of slavery, floggings, the Ku Klux Klan, Jim Crow laws, or the various means of intimidation that whites employed to prevent blacks from voting and living lives equal to those of whites. Like President Barack Obama, Lynch was of biracial descent; born to an enslaved mother and an Irish father, he did not know hard labor until his slave mistress asked him a question that he answered honestly. Freed by the Emancipation Proclamation, Lynch had a long and varied career that points to his resilience and perseverance. Tate’s bright watercolor illustrations often belie the harshness of what takes place within them; though this sometimes creates a visual conflict, it may also make the book more palatable for young readers unaware of the violence African-Americans have suffered than fully graphic images would. A historical note, timeline, author’s and illustrator’s notes, bibliography and map are appended.
A picture book worth reading about a historical figure worth remembering. (Picture book biography. 7-10)

HOW TO MAKE A BOOK (ABOUT MY DOG)

Deliberately inspirational and tiPatricia Polacco ; illustrated by Patricia Polacco ‧ RELEASE DATE: Oct. 6, 2020
Veteran picture-book creator Polacco tells another story from her childhood that celebrates the importance of staying true to one’s own interests and values.
After years of spending summers with her father and grandmother, narrator Trisha is excited to be spending the school year in Michigan with them. Unexpectedly abandoned by her summertime friends, Trisha quickly connects with fellow outsiders Thom and Ravanne, who may be familiar to readers from Polacco’s The Junkyard Wonders (2010). Throughout the school year, the three enjoy activities together and do their best to avoid school bully Billy. While a physical confrontation between Thom (aka “Sissy Boy”) and Billy does come, so does an opportunity for Thom to defy convention and share his talent with the community. Loosely sketched watercolor illustrations place the story in the middle of the last century, with somewhat old-fashioned clothing and an apparently all-White community. Trisha and her classmates appear to be what today would be called middle schoolers; a reference to something Trisha and her mom did when she was “only eight” suggests that several years have passed since that time. As usual, the lengthy first-person narrative is cozily conversational but includes some challenging vocabulary (textiles, lackeys, foretold). The author’s note provides a brief update about her friends’ careers and encourages readers to embrace their own differences. (This book was reviewed digitally with 11-by-18-inch double-page spreads viewed at actual size.)
Deliberately inspirational and tinged with nostalgia, this will please fans but may strike others as overly idealistic. (Picture book. 7-10)

Accessibility Statement
9 August 2022
Compliance status
We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability. To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more. This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs. Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments. If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email
Screen-reader and keyboard navigation
Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers som such as JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, and TalkBack. A screen-reader is software for blind users that is installed on a computer and smartphone, and websites must be compatible with it.
Keyboard Navigation Profile (Motor-Impaired): this profile enables motor-impaired persons to operate the website using the keyboard Tab, Shift+Tab, and the Enter keys. Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.

Animations – epileptic users can stop all running animations with the click of a button. Animations controlled by the interface include videos, GIFs, and CSS flashing transitions.
Content highlighting – users can choose to emphasize important elements such as links and titles. They can also choose to highlight focused or hovered elements only.
Audio muting – users with hearing devices may experience headaches or other issues due to automatic audio playing. This option lets users mute the entire website instantly.
Cognitive disorders – we utilize a search engine that is linked to Wikipedia and Wiktionary, allowing people with cognitive disorders to decipher meanings of phrases, initials, slang, and others.
Additional functions – we provide users the option to change cursor color and size, use a printing mode, enable a virtual keyboard, and many other functions.
Browser and assistive technology compatibility
We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers), both for Windows and for MAC users.
Notes, comments, and feedback
Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs, there may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to

Readers all have at least one: the work of genius that has been praised to the skies by everyone, has been taught in high schools and colleges forever and is acknowledged as one of the greatest achievements in the history of putting words on paper. Acknowledged, that is, by everyone except you. You don’t get it. Too wordy, too abstract, how is this all the whale’s fault?
We asked a few local bibliophiles for their stories about the stories they just could not love.
Crime and Punishment
by Fyodor Dostoyevsky
Being forced to read Crime and Punishment really should be the punishment for a very serious crime. I had to read Dostoyevsky’s “great novel” for my AP English class my senior year of high school. The entire year’s curriculum was focused solely on existentialism, so by the time we got to Crime and Punishment, I was firmly rooted in the mindset that life is pointless and nothing matters—especially the Dostoyevsky unit. I trudged through this dismal, anxiety-inducing, poorly translated piece of utter rubbish with all the enthusiasm of one who is headed to the dentist for a root canal, and my grades reflected that. In the end, I found myself wishing that Rodin Raskolnikov (the main character) would have axe-murdered me along with the pawnbroker to save me from reading 600 pages of his torturous internal angst.
Katie Wagner – Senior Editor/Online Editor, Mt. Lebanon Magazine
Ulysses
by James Joyce
Years ago, while still under the influence of a tremendous one-man show about James Joyce, I made the mistake of checking Ulysses out of the Wilkinsburg Library. The librarian was delighted with my selection, and we had quite a fizzy conversation about the author, about Ireland—the previous year I had spent a week there and thus considered myself practically a native son—and about the towering, undisputed genius of the work.
Every time I came into the library after that, he would seek me out, ask where I was in the book, how I was enjoying it—you know they’re having a Bloomsday reading at the Harp and Fiddle this year—then I would go home, open up Ulysses again and once more I would look at Joyce’s prose the way a monkey looks at a chemistry set.
My increasingly vague responses—“Um, yeah, that part was really … really something”—did not stop the librarian’s attempts to spark a discussion. Eventually I had to move.
Merle Jantz – Managing Editor, Mt. Lebanon Magazine
Beowulf
Author unknown
Read it first in a high school literature class (guided by a teacher who said his Book That Scarred Him For Life was Paradise Lost.) That same teacher insisted we memorize the first 11 lines of the epic poem in Old English and write it on command for a test grade. I was typically a compliant student, but I couldn’t see the point and refused to do it. I kept coming up with excuses why I had to leave class on days when it was due. As if that weren’t bad enough, it surfaced again in a college literature class and AGAIN in a college course on medieval studies. Of course, all THREE instructors had completely different interpretations of what I was supposed to get out of reading it. I hope I never have to read it again.
Laura Pace Lilley – Editor in chief, Mt. Lebanon Magazine
The Road
by Cormac McCarthy
I knew nothing about the novel and thought it was a buddy road trip adventure, only to be plunged into a story about a father and son traversing a cold and bleak post-apocalyptic world in fear for their lives from survivors who have become cannibalistic predators. Some of the book’s chilling scenes caused me to have nightmares, and I considered tossing it aside but decided to tough it out because I really wanted to find out what happened to the man and his son. The book is filled with death, destruction, loss and loneliness, but at its core is the bond of love between father and son. And the ending, well, you’ll just have to tough it out on your own.
Diane Cyphers – Mt. Lebanon Magazine Advertising Manager
Jane Eyre
by Charlotte Bronte
I know it’s a classic, but I found Jane Eyre to be an exhausting read in seventh grade. The only thing slower than its pacing was my teacher’s unbelievably dry exposition. Day after day, it just seemed to drag on. I literally felt that time stopped in between each word of its text, and I struggled to keep my eyes open so much that it turned me off of reading anything beyond a comic book for years. I know I missed out on this one, and I am sure I am more wrong than right, but it still stands out to me as my most regretful read.
State Rep. Dan Miller
Moby-Dick
by Herman Melville
“Call me Ishmael.” Right off the bat—the first sentence in this 700-page novel features a footnote. This is not an encouraging sign. Water, water, everywhere … Throughout college I avoided all classes that might involve reading this great American novel. But Jackson Pollock tripped me up. Under the influence of Melville’s vast expansive sea, Pollock painted his drippy, swirly massive canvases. I guess it’s culturally literate to know that the Starbucks name comes from Melville’s musings.
Elaine Wertheim – Mt. Lebanon Magazine contributing writer
Little Women
by Louisa May Alcott
I know what you’re thinking: What sort of self-respecting writer, English writing major and mother of two daughters would ever admit to never reading Little Women? Passing on this classic of Civil War era women, their lives, hopes and dreams, and the gender-bending character Jo, who liked wearing men’s clothing, and wanted to be a writer?
Was it because everyone else had read/was reading/or was getting ready to read it? Probably. I reflexively went against current tastes in my book choices. For instance, I liked reading my brother’s Boy Scout manual describing how to make a box oven, or how to tie a sheepshank.
Maybe it was the title. “The very title summons up preconceptions of treacly do-gooders in a smarmy children’s story,” said film critic Roger Ebert. I have to agree.
Little Women sounded vaguely condescending to me. I can see now that I was thumbing my nose at this story of 19th century American womanhood. I was coming of age in the era of Ms. magazine and Gloria Steinem, wasn’t I?
Still, I am embarrassed at my wrongheadedness, and have promised myself to spend a weekend this winter reading it, wearing trousers and a bow tie in penance.

A Nairobi based health facility is looking for young women below the age of 25 years who are ready to donate their eggs for amounts ranging between Sh30,000 and Sh50,000.
La Femme Healthcare Clinic says that the women should be fit and must prove that they are educated up to secondary level.
In addition, the willing donors must not be breastfeeding or have had a baby in the last nine months.
Once one approaches the facility, their details will be profiled as voluntary donors and kept in a database.
It is from the database that people seeking donors will anonymously pick any donor who suits their wish list.
NUMBER OF FACTORS
“It is true that we have patients who do not have eggs reserves, a condition that is caused by a number of factors, these are the kind of customers we are targeting,” Dr Martha Kuruga said.
Once the egg is donated, a woman can carry the pregnancy if at all they are healthy.
The facility said that the total cost of the whole process is Sh500,000 and it is the role of those looking donors to incur the costs of treatment for those who donate.
Dr Kuruga said that younger women are given first priority because they also have to deal with genetic issues that come with age.
According healthline, women are most fertile and have best chance of getting pregnant in their 20s making them the best candidates to donate eggs.
“This is the time when you have the highest number of good quality eggs available and your pregnancy risks are lowest. At the age of 25, your odds of conceiving after 3 months of trying are just under 20 percent,” read an article from Heathline website.

Important Considerations for Choosing a Financial Advisor in Washington, DC

When people in the Washington, DC area need a financial advisor, they are often concerned about how to choose the best one for their particular financial situation. Unfortunately, almost anyone can call themselves a financial advisor. It is important to be diligent in checking out a financial advisor in Washington DC before making a commitment.
Considerations
Choosing the best financial advisor depends almost entirely on the goals of the client. If a person is trying to figure out how to maximize their retirement savings, they will have a totally different goal from someone trying to manage a large inheritance for their children. So the first consideration in choosing a financial advisor is for the client to decide on their end goal.
A second consideration is to determine if the client really needs an advisor. Many times clients have more resources than they realize. If a client is able to educate themselves they might not need an advisor. If a client is already an accountant or has a banking background or works in a financial field, they may be able to make the decisions on their own. There are hundreds of books available to help people make up their own minds about how to handle their money.
Once a client decides they want outside help with their money, they need to choose which kind of financial advisor in Washington, DC that they might need. There are many different kinds of financial advisors. If tax issues are the only problems people need help with, sometimes an ordinary CPA is all that is needed.
In complicated situations, a client might need to seek out a CFP professional. This is a financial certification program that tells clients that the planner has experience in the field, has particular educational credentials, and has passed a demanding exam.
If the client is mostly interested in what happens to their money after their death, then they will want to turn to an estate planning lawyer for their financial advice. The lawyer can draw up the legal documents to carry out the client’s estate plan. They can also help set up plans to make sure the client’s wishes are carried out if the client is no longer able to take care of things on their own.
Perhaps a client only wants a financial planner to help out during a divorce. There are financial planners who have earned a designation as a CDFA – a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst.
Once a client decides what kind of financial advisor they need, there are a few more things to consider. Mainly, people should think about how much they can afford to spend on advice. This is a more important consideration than people may realize.
When a type of advisor has been chosen, and the budget has been worked out, the client needs to verify the credentials of the advisors they are considering. Lastly, the client should schedule interviews with a few people. It is important to have someone that the client feels comfortable talking with.

The 2017 Shriners Children's Hospital Benefit Hunt was held in Hartford, KY on September 16 & 17, which was hosted by the Bull Run Beagle Club. Several members of the local Edmonson County Beagle Club took part in the hunt and took home awards in the charity event that raised $1300.
A total of 117 entries were counted in six different classes. Once the hunt gained over 100 entries, it was considered a hunt with "state status," which meant that winners would receive hall of fame points.
Local beaglers Jeremy Garmon and Steve Gipson, along with Sammy Garmon, make up Run & Gun Kennels. They won the Grand Champion Class with R & G's "Lacey." Another local beagler, John Doan, won the Champion Class with "Little Holly's Sambo." Gibson's "Blue Star" took home Best Puppy honors.
Sammy & Jeremy Garmon's "Lacey," winner of Grand Champion Class.
Steve Gipson's "Blue Star," winner of Best Puppy.
John Doan's "Little Holly's Sambo," winner of Champion Class.
Run & Gun also placed several other dogs in the hunt:
Gipson's Misty Blue- 5th in the Open Class
G & G's Suzy Moon- 6th in the Open Class and Best Female
R & G's Halfway Hurricane Hunter- 9th in the Grand Champion Class
Each dog that placed recieved dog food and prizes from PURINA. The winners of each class won a one year subscription to the Rabbit Hunter magazine.
BRBC President/ARHA Executive Board Josh Wright was the Master of Hounds and the organizer of the hunt.
"Proceeds from this hunt are going to local chapters of the Shriners to help with the cost of transportation of children to and from the Shriners Hospital," said Wright. "I am very proud of the fact that some fellow beaglers can come together for such a great cause."
The Edmonson County Beagle Club meets at the old Capitol Hill School house in the Pig Community, John Meredith, President.

Tribute Wall
Obituary
Heather Dawn Stephens, 45, passed into Heaven on Sunday, February 20, 2022, at home peacefully in her sleep. She was born Friday, November 26, 1976, in Gillette, Wyoming to Knute and Linda (Lass) Johnson. Heather was a very fun-loving, happy child who befriended everyone. In junior high, Heather saw a young man with long flowing hair. She told her friend “One day, I am going to marry that guy,” and her dream came true. On July 11, 1998, she married John Eric Stephens, the love of her life in Gillette, Wyoming. John and Heather’s relationship was always fun, playful, and full of laughter. Their relationship defined “marrying your best friend.” Heather and John were together for 24 wonderful, loving years up until the moment of her passing. They had a strong bond with a deep-rooted love for each other. Together they had four children, Natasha, Natalie, Nathaniel, and Natayla.
They moved to Sheridan, Wyoming in 2006, where Heather cared for her grandmother for three years. Afterward, in 2009 they moved to Dayton, Wyoming where she continued to raise her children and began her involvement in rescuing parrots. Heather always held a strong passion for animals, and this led to her fostering over 60 birds and adopting several into her own family. She moved to Douglas in 2021 with her husband. Heather always had a special gift with animals, never leaving an animal behind. She had a very healing nature. She also always offered a warm heart and was there for anyone who needed it. She would have given away everything she owned to take care of someone else. She was selfless, caring, and generous, always putting others before herself. She had a great sense of humor and could make anyone laugh. She was a bright soul, lighting up every room she ever walked into.
She is survived by her parents, Knute and Linda Johnson; husband, John Stephens; mothers-in-law, Gina Stephens and Carol Stephens; father-in-law, Loyd Stephens; children, Natasha (Luke) Stephens of Billings, Montana, Natalie (Noah) Stephens of Albuquerque, New Mexico, Nathaniel Stephens of Derby, New York; sisters, Stormy (Meral) Van Natta, Amy Johnson, Stacy (Frank) Gruber; brother, Michael (Marnie) Johnson; and several nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her daughter, Natayla Grace and grandparents, Holger and Emogene Johnson and Elmer and Adele Lass.
The service will be held at Gillette Foursquare Church on Friday, February 25, 2022, at 10:00 A.M. The viewing will be an hour prior at 9:00 A.M. The service will be performed by a long-time family friend Clint Pickrel. Interment will be in the Mount Pisgah Cemetery in Gillette.

Cornelia Betsch is professor of health communication at the University of Erfurt, Germany. She is a trained psychologist. Her work aims at understanding principles of health behavior by applying a judgment and decision-making and strategic-interaction perspective to infectious disease control – especially with regard to the vaccination decision, emerging infections and prudent use of antibiotics. Her team, the Psychology and infectious Diseases Lab, develops techniques and tools to improve an unbiased vaccination decision, for example by debunking vaccination myths or countering vocal vaccine deniers. Cornelia’s credo is that research should aim at high understanding of the issue and, at the same time, high usability of the results. Therefore, she works with national and international health organizations to transfer research into practice and to foster evidence-based, behavioural insights-related decisions. Her research is funded by independent bodies.

The slot machine is the world’s most popular casino recreation, and it comes with many various styles, themes, rules, and names. The slot machine usually entails someone inputting payments or coins that are then transformed into slot credit that can be used to guess on the slot machine. All of the popular slot machine games could be found there, beginning from the basic 3 reel video games up to modern video slot machines the place you possibly can choose 50 paylines. That way, a slot recreation supplier with an RTP of 95% will get a profit of 5% for each wager that the slot player has misplaced. The reels will ultimately cease, creating a mix of symbols throughout the paylines.
A slot machine is a traditional, coin-operated casino game with several reels which have a variety of symbols on them. Liberty Bell is the first mechanical slot machine, invented in 1895 by Charles Fey, an automotive mechanic who lived in San Francisco. As soon as the player has sufficient credit to satisfy the bet minimal for that slot machine, they will activate the reels by urgent a button or pulling a lever. Usually, RTP is pragmatic demo written as a percentage; for instance, a slot with an RTP of 95% means that the slot will return the player $ ninety-five for each $a hundred lost or entered into the slot game. This might be the essential benchmark for each provider in getting the benefits of each slot game they offer.
Atlantic City is home to 9 casinos, with many names you will be acquainted with. However, many people are pledging to adhere to what’s recognized as the “100-mile weight loss plan” to eat only recent foods from within a 100-mile radius of your home. Slot machines are identical all over the place. So it would help if you weren’t afraid that you’ll lose money when playing this recreation. That is seen from the RTP issue, which is normally a part of the factor that enables gamers to have different potential to win. However, RTP shouldn’t be every part. What is a good RTP for slots? All of these advisable slots principally have a fairly excessive chance of winning.

President Xi Jinping ordered the military on Monday to further strengthen its training and exercises this year so as to hone its operational capability and combat preparedness.
Xi, who is also general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and chairman of the Central Military Commission, signed the commission's first order for 2021, which listed priorities in the training of the People's Liberation Army and the People's Armed Police Force.
The order instructed the armed forces to stick to Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era as their guiding principle and uphold Xi Jinping Thought on Strengthening the Military as well as military strategies in the new era.
It said the Party will enhance its guidance over the military's training, urging the armed forces to focus on improving their combat readiness and continuing to reform their training system.
The military must train their officers and soldiers in realistic combat scenarios, place more attention on research about war and military operations, increase the intensity of exercises, conduct more emergency-response drills, and remain on high alert to ensure the troops are always ready for any possible military engagement, the order said.
Training and exercises for joint operations must be priorities, it said, adding that the military must intensify interservice training to foster integrated joint combat capability.
Commanders are required to introduce more scientific and technological factors into training and boost their units' ability to use high-tech hardware and methods.
The order also stipulated that military authorities must conduct strict evaluation and supervision of training and also improve their management and planning.
All members of the armed forces must strengthen their fighting spirit and hone their skills and capabilities to fulfill the missions given them by the Party and the people and produce new achievements to celebrate the coming 100th anniversary of the founding of the CPC, according to the order.
The year 2021 is the fourth consecutive year that Xi has issued a training order to the military as the year's first directive from the Central Military Commission.
The first such order was issued in January 2018, when Xi oversaw and addressed a massive training and commencement ceremony at a shooting range in northern China.
Xi has repeatedly stressed the importance of combat readiness training and joint operations to the armed forces since he became commander in chief in late 2012.

Dr. Ramanathan discovered the greenhouse effect of halocarbons, particularly, CFCs in 1975. Along with R. Madden, predicted in 1980 that global warming would be detected by 2000. In 1985, he led the first international NASA/WMO/UNEP assessment on the climate effects of non-CO2 greenhouse gases and concluded that they are as important as CO2 to global climate change. He was among a team of four which developed the first version of the US community climate model in the 1980s. In 1989, he led a NASA study that used satellite radiation budget instruments to conclude that clouds had a large global cooling effect. He led an international field experiment in the 1990s, with Paul Crutzen, that discovered the widespread Atmospheric Brown Clouds (ABCs) over S. Asia, which have devastating health and climate impacts. He developed light weight unmanned aerial vehicles to track pollution plumes from S. Asia, E. Asia and N. America. His recent finding is that mitigation of short lived climate pollutants (black carbon, methane, ozone and HFCs) will slow down global warming significantly during this century. This proposal has now been adopted by the United Nations and 30 countries including USA and a new coalition, called as the, Climate and Clean Air Coalition is implementing mitigation actions for short lived climate pollutants. He now leads Project Surya which is mitigating black carbon and other climate warming emissions from solid biomass cooking in S. Asia and Kenya and is documenting their effects on public health and environment. Teaming up with California Air Resources Board and R. K Pachauri, he has initiated a World Bank sponsored project to reduce soot emissions from the transportation sector in India.

He has won numerous prestigious awards including the Tyler prize. the top environment prize given in the US; the Volvo Prize; the Rossby Prize and the Zayed prize. In 2013, he was awarded the top environment prize from the United the Champions of Earth for Science and Innovation. He has been elected to the US National Academy of Sciences, American Philosophical Society, the Pontifical Academy by Pope John Paul II and the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.

He is now serving in Pope Francis’ Council for the Pontifical Academy of Sciences; and UNESCO awarded the Climate and Policy professorship at TERI Deemed- University in New Delhi, India.

FanGraphs joined the slew of websites releasing their Top-100 prospects in baseball and the Blue Jays landed four players on the list, one more than had been charted by Baseball America and
Leading the pack, as expected was Nate Pearson, coming in at #8. Fangraphs put a 60-grade on his future value and their quick summary states that “Pearson averaged 97.5 mph with the fastball last year and, through a healthy year of starts, showed his secondary stuff is also electric.”
Pearson’s future grades include an 80 for his fastball, a 60 for his slider, a 55 for his curveball and 60 for his changeup while his command is a future 50 value. Eric Longenhagen noted that a source told him that “Pearson also remade his body and has gotten a little leaner.”
Bodes well for the future.
Changing up the position, Simeon Woods Richardson was the Blue Jays second-ranked prospect, coming in at #76.
Longenhagen’s summary suggests, “He’s not nearly as projectable as most teenage arms, but Woods Richardson already throws hard and his second stuff is tough to identify out of his hand.”
Let’s unpack that a bit. When he says that Woods Richardson is “not nearly as projectable,” he means that SWR has mostly filled out his body at 6-foot-3 and 210 pounds and that he’s not likely to add much velocity, noting that he’s sitting 92-94 mph and topping out at 97. As we can see, Longenhagen rates his fastball as a 55 grade, which puts it as above major league average (which is a 50 grade). His curve, change, cutter and command all get 55 grades for future value and that’s pretty darn good, to have a 19 year old who projects to have four above-average pitches to potentially above-average command.
Longenhagen is concerned about Woods Richardson’s ability to move his fastball inside and outside but his ability to throw his changeups and breaking balls at this stage is pretty well-developed.
Coming in at #80 for Longenhagen is shortstop Jordan Groshans, noting that “Groshans looked good while he was healthy last year but the severity of his injury concerns some teams.“
Longenhagen writes that scouts had put a Josh Donaldson comparison on Groshans coming out of high school and rates his tools as 50 potential for hitting, 65 for raw power, 55 for game power, 50 for running, 50 for fielding and 60 for throwing. That said, I think the current 30 value that Longenhagen puts on his hit tool is a little low from what I’ve seen from the 20-year-old infielder. He also suggests, like many have, that his best position might be third base.
Finally, the fourth Blue Jays name on Longhenhagen’s list is 18-year-old Orelvis Martinez. Playing in his debut in the GCL as a 17 year old, Martinez gets some high praise. Longenhagen wrote, “Were Martinez a little more physically projectable, he’d be higher on this list. He has plus bat speed and should stay at shortstop.“
Now 18 and coming into his second professional season, Longenhagen has concerns about his contact skills, which he grades as a 20 now and a 45 for his future value. He writes that the concerns remain “due to wild variation in the way Martinez’s lower half works during his swing. His footwork is all over the place and he takes a lot of ugly hacks.” They project him for a 60 grade on raw power, 50 grade for game power, a 40 grade for running, 45 for fielding and 55 for throwing.
Those grades don’t really suggest he’ll stay at shortstop, assuming that Longenhagen’s 45-grade is fringe-average as a shortstop. That, combined with a 45-grade for contact (which, in my opinion, is the most important tool for a position player) really doesn’t suggest that Martinez should even be on this list, except for his raw power.
What do you think of the names on Fangraphs’s list?

More trouble, yet again: Rising coal prices and costs of compliance with air pollution norms could render 70% of global coal plants uneconomical by 2040. | Image credit: Grist.org
Fossil Fuels
Report: Drastic fall in number of coal plants in past 3 years, globally
By Editorial Team / April 3, 2019
Is coal going to be a thing of the past sooner than expected? It may just be if you go by the latest Boom and Bust report by Global Energy Monitor, which says there has been a drastic fall in the number of new coal plants over the past three years.
The report stated that since 2015, there has been an 84% drop in the number of new coal plants, 39% in 2018 alone. News reports are calling it a visible “peak coal”. In India, specifically, the report says the coal project pipeline has shrunk by 37GW – from 131.35GW in 2017 to 94GW in 2018. But the report’s authors warned that even emissions from existing coal plants were enough to breach the 2°C global warming limit.
China’s coal surge may spoil global climate targets
Can China single-handedly spoil the global coal-collapse momentum? Latest demands by China’s industry can. The country’s biggest power producers have asked Chinese government to allow them to develop between 300-500 new coal plants by 2030. This could mean China “could add a large coal power plant every 2 weeks for the next 12 years” reported Unearthed.
China is yet to adopt the industry’s proposal. According to the Global Energy Monitor report, China, last year, revived construction on several coal plants that it had previously shelved. Satellite images showed that China resumed construction on over 50 gigawatts (GW) of coal plants that had been put on hold in 2018, “ bucking a global shift away” from fossil fuels, reported Reuters.
The same survey also pointed out that India had given approval to three major new coal plants ahead of the general elections next month. However, the report also stated that the capacity of coal projects in the pipeline declined by 37.4 GW. .
Report: Oil giants pumped a billion dollars in ads to undermine climate action
The five biggest oil giants – BP, Shell ExxonMobil, Chevron and Total – are spending around $200 million annually to block policies to tackle climate change, a new study has revealed. The five largest companies are using social media to oppose climate action. The study revealed that last year, ahead of of the US mid-term elections, the global oil giants spent $2 million on Facebook and Instagram ads to extol “benefits of increased fossil fuel production” The Guardian reported.
A $13-million campaign by BP and Chevron successfully blocked a carbon tax in Washington state, the research said, adding that a million dollars were spent on social media ads alone. The report’s author, Edward Collins, told The Guardian: “Oil majors’ climate branding sounds increasingly hollow and their credibility is on the line. They publicly support climate action while lobbying against binding policy.” Since the countries signed the 2015 Paris deal, the oil and gas majors spent $1 billion on “misleading branding and lobbying.”
Study: Fossil fuel now pricier than solar or wind in US, coal to get out of race by 2025
According to a new study, around 75% of coal production in the US is more expensive than renewables to generate power for households. The study says the falling costs of solar and wind energy was enough to retire coal much faster than any policy change could. The study calculated the costs of coal power and compared it with that of renewables based on financial filings and data from the Energy Information Agency (EIA). The researchers found that 211GW of current US coal capacity (74% coal fleet), is providing electricity that’s more expensive than wind or solar. The study says by 2025, wind and solar would have “out-competed” the coal costs.
Carbon capture: Tata Steel, Shell, BP, and Drax join £1-million UK advisory group
The UK’s biggest greenhouse gas emitters Tata Steel, Shell, BP, Drax and Nation Grid have joined the country’s carbon capture and usage and storage group (CCUS) backed by £1 million of government funding. The CCUS technology is designed to capture CO2 emissions from the steel, cement and coal industry, before they are released in the atmosphere. Britain will also provide £170 million to develop “the world’s first net zero cluster of heavy industrial plants by 2040”. If implemented the plan is expected to cut out greenhouse gases from power plants and factories by the mid-2020s, reports says.
Czech utility CEZ to shut down 3 coal energy units mid-2020
Czech utility firm CEZ will shut down three coal energy units with over 1GW capacity in mid-2020 in order to phase out coal power plants in favour of zero-emission energy. Reuters reported: “The units account for around 5% of CEZ’s total annual capacity,”
Japan ministry vows to reject new coal plants after international criticism
Following criticism that Japan was not serious about curbing emissions and global warming, the country’s environment ministry said it will not approve construction of new coal-fired power plants to keep intact its international pledge of climate action.
Asahi Shimbun reported that since the triple meltdown at the Fukushima nuclear plant, which resulted in the loss of nuclear plants, power companies mostly drew up projects to construct coal-burning plants to secure stable electricity supplies. This “faster-than-anticipated” transition by the Japan, which buys 39% of Australian-mined thermal coal, would affect future volumes and the viability of some new mines, The Guardian reported.

Rob Kardashian places a significant value on maintaining his privacy even now. According to Page Six’s sources, the former reality star picked Italy over the United States for his sister’s wedding to Travis Barker, which took place on Sunday. Kourtney, who is 43 years old, was encircled by family members, including her mother, Kris Jenner, and her sisters, Kim Kardashian, Khloé Kardashian, and Kendall Jenner, and Kylie Jenner.
Why Rob Kardashian Missed Kourtney And Travis’ Wedding?
Rob, 35, isn’t a major fan of public events or traveling. Still, according to a second insider who shared this information, he is looking forward to celebrating with the newlyweds when they return to California after their honeymoon in Hawaii. Rob isn’t a huge fan of public events or traveling. The pair is presently taking a vacation in Portofino, Italy, where it was reported that they were seen jumping from a super-yacht on Monday.
In anticipation of her upcoming marriage, the star of “Kardashians” has already modified her Instagram handle to read “Kourtney Kardashian Barker.” On the other hand, Kourtney’s ex-boyfriend Scott Disick has frequented a strip club in New York City while on vacation with Kourtney’s family. Kourtney’s family is currently in New York.
According to the allegations, Disick was joined at Sapphire by a roughly equal number of male and female friends on Monday morning at a reasonably early hour. Before finally departing, he waited for an additional hour and conversed with a solitary woman.
The previous evening, the founder of Talentless, 38 years old, provided a preview of his stay at the Casa Cipriani in New York City. He took a selfie of his room service setup and posted it on his Instagram Story, along with the message, “Little movie night. It is unclear whether he had any company with whom he could have shared the food.
Kourtney and Disick’s three children, Mason, 12 years old, Penelope, nine years old, and Reign, seven years old, were all present in Italy for their mother’s special day. Because he has been keeping a low profile for many years, it did not surprise us when we learned that Rob Kardashian would not be attending his sister Kourtney’s lavish Italian wedding to Travis Barker.
On the other hand, it would appear that we now have a better understanding of why he decided to stay at home rather than travel with his family. According to a source close to the Kardashians, Rob decided to stay away from Kourtney and Travis’s wedding since it turned into a media spectacle. It is also difficult to disagree with what he has shown us up to this point.)
“Rob is a very private person,” the insider shared their insight. The fact that the wedding would be aired worldwide was not lost on him. Even so, the newlyweds will be able to celebrate his success alongside him. According to a source who spoke on anonymity, Travis Barker’s father, Randy, and Kourtney Kardashian’s grandmother, MJ, could not join the couple on their trip to Italy.

A post shared by travisbarker (@travisbarker)
The source spoke on the condition that they not be identified. A source close to the situation revealed that “Kourtney’s grandma is extremely important to her, as is Travis’ dad, Randy Barker.” They could not attend, but they were witnesses during the licensing ceremony held in Los Angeles.
Rob seems more comfortable working behind the camera, even though he does share photographs of his daughter, Dream, on Instagram from time to time. On the other hand, it would appear that he will not be participating in the upcoming show The Kardashians, produced by Hulu and starring the Kardashian family.

One of the great founding principles of the United States is the right of equal opportunity. This means that no one is born with political advantages; for example, in a monarchic society, someone who is born into the nobility has political rights and protections from the law that “commoners” don’t have. Therefore, people outside the nobility do not have equal opportunity to succeed in their society.
In the U.S., equal opportunity has been popularly enshrined in the notion of every American having the chance to live the “American dream”: everyone has equal opportunity to work, vote, succeed, own a home, go to school, and more. Ideally, no American is barred from these things because of their social class, income, color, or anything else.
We of course fight a constant good fight to make sure this is true in America. There are always some people who want to set up barriers to equal opportunity. But we can never let this happen, for, as Alexis de Tocqueville, visiting America in the 1830s, later wrote in Democracy in America, equality of opportunity is the thing that truly sets America apart, the jewel of our democracy.
de Tocqueville was bothered, therefore, by one commonplace in the American system that he felt was a slap in the face to equality of opportunity. Was it slavery? Unequal wealth? City slums? No. While he saw those things were aberrations in our democracy, one thing he chose to comment on in particular was posting bail.
This seems like a very small thing. If you’re arrested, you can post bail to stay out of jail until your trial. That seems fair.
But it’s not fair, because it gives those who have money an advantage over those who don’t. If you’re not poor you can post bail; if you’re poor, you can’t. So poor people go to jail, while others don’t.
And if you are accused of a horrendous crime, like murder or child sexual assault, you have to post a much larger bail, maybe tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars. This only guarantees that wealthy people will not be imprisoned while awaiting trial no matter what they are accused of.
Currently, this inequality of opportunity has come up in the context of immigration. If you are accused of being an illegal immigrant, you are most likely poor. Therefore, you can never post bail when you are arrested. And so you sit in jail until you are deported. Or, worse, you don’t even sit in jail, but are immediately put on a bus or a plane back to your native country.
This means your loved ones have no idea where you are. If you are never in a police station, you can’t make a phone call home to tell them. At least if you’re sitting in jail, your family knows what has happened. But illegal immigrants cannot post bail, and legal authorities know this, and so the whole process is skipped.
Even if an illegal immigrant is given a chance to post bail, everyone knows s/he will not be able to pay. Therefore, there is no real chance to protect oneself from immediate repatriation, no chance of having a trial.
One might argue that since illegal immigrants are not U.S. citizens, they cannot complain about not receiving due process. And one might feel that the problems of illegal immigrants are worlds away; U.S. citizens will never face this problem.
But you might. No one is guaranteed that they will never be arrested. Anything can happen. And if it does, will your wealth qualify you for justice, or will you sit in jail?

Emini bull flag in buy climax after FOMC Fed rate hike
Intraday market update: June 19, 2017
June 19, 2017 By Al Brooks, MD
Emini bull flag in buy climax after FOMC Fed rate hike
Updated 6:56 a.m.
The Emini gapped up on the open to within 4 points of the all-time high. Yet, it formed a small bear doji bar. This one bar is enough to increase the odds of a lot of trading range price action today. The Emini gapped up to just below a major magnet, but lacked enthusiasm.
The Emini had bad follow-through after other bull bars as well. While it is Always In Long, this increases the chances that this early rally will either reverse or become a bull leg in a trading range. Despite the gap up and early rally, the odds are against a strong bull trend day. Furthermore, the alternating bull and bear bars increase the chances of a trading range open.
The odds are that the Emini will be sideways for the 1st hour or two. Furthermore, it looks like it will be mostly a trading range day. If there is instead a strong breakout up or down, today could still become a strong trend day. At the moment, that is not likely.
Pre-Open market analysis
The Emini is in a bull trend on all higher time frames. Furthermore, Thursday was a strong bull trend bar on the daily chart that reversed up from the daily moving average. In addition, it was a double bottom with the low from the week earlier. It is therefore a buy signal bar in a bull trend.
Yet, because the weekly chart is so exceptionally overbought, the odds are against a big breakout above the all-time high. In addition, there is a nested wedge top on the daily chart. Hence, the Emini will probably begin to trade down to the March low soon. That will probably become the bottom of a trading range that lasts for several months. However, there is no top yet. In addition, the Emini might make one more new high before reversing down.
Overnight Emini Globex trading
The Emini is up 8 points in the Globex market. Today will therefore probably gap up. The reversal up from the daily moving average on Thursday was strong. Furthermore, the momentum up in May was strong. The all-time high is only a few points above the current price. Consequently, the Emini will probably test and break above the all-time high today or tomorrow.
Yet, because the weekly chart is so unusually overbought, the bull breakout will probably fail. The June trading range will therefore likely be the final bull flag.
If there is a reversal down from a new high, the 1st target is the bottom of the final flag, which is the June 9 low. Since the March – April trading range will probably be a larger final flag, the next target would be the March 27 bottom of that trading range.
Friday’s setups
Here are several reasonable stop entry setups from Friday. The Emini reversed down strongly from a test of Thursday’s high. It then rallied from a wedge bottom to form a reversal day.
EURUSD Forex market trading strategies
The 240 minute EURUSD chart is still in a trading range. The bulls see a 5 week bull flag. The bears see a wedge top and now a lower high major trend reversal. Since the market has inertia, sideways is most likely for at least a few more days.
The EURUSD daily chart stopped just 4 pips below the November 9 lower high. The bears therefore want a big double top. The bears also want a small double top bear flag with the June 15 top of the sell climax.
The bulls see a pullback from a test of the major resistance of the November 9 major lower high. The momentum up in May was strong. In addition, the weekly chart has been in a trading range for 2 years. Furthermore, legs in trading ranges often go above resistance before reversing Consequently, the odds still favor a break above the November high within a few weeks.
Trading ranges resist change
Yet, the odds are that the 2 year trading range will continue. Hence, the bull breakout will probably just be part of the 6 month bull leg in the 2 year trading range. Therefore the odds are against the start of a bull trend on the daily or weekly charts.
If the bears break strongly below the May 30 bottom of the trading range, then the odds would favor a test down below lower support. That includes the breakout point above the March 31 top of the 5 month trading range.
Since markets have inertia, the odds are that they will continue to do what they have been doing. The daily chart has been going sideways for 5 weeks. It has reversed every couple of days. Therefore, the odds are for at least several more sideways days.
Overnight EURUSD Forex trading
The EURUSD chart has been in a 30 pip range for 6 hours. The odds favor at least one more leg down after last week’s strong reversal down from a test of the November 9 major lower high. Yet, the minimum target is only the bottom of the 1st leg down. That is only about 50 pips from here.
In addition, there is still room up to the top of Thursday’s sell climax. That is always a magnet. As is always the case, there are always reasonable arguments for both bulls and bears when a market is in a trading range. The result is that whenever the market goes downs, bulls buy more and the bears take profits. When it goes up, the bears sell more and the bulls take profits. With everyone buying low, selling high, and scalping, trading ranges can last a long time.
Because the moves have been small overnight and the market is in the middle of its 4 week range, day traders will mostly scalp.
The odds favor a test down to the bottom of the 4 week trading range over the next few days. However, the bulls will probably get a bounce there. They will try to create a double bottom bull flag on the daily chart with the May 30 low.
Summary of today’s S&P Emini futures price action and what to expect tomorrow
The Emini gapped up and had a trend from the open bull trend to a new all-time high. After a parabolic wedge top, it became a broad bull channel.
The Emini gapped up and broke to a new all-time high above the 3 week trading range. While the daily chart is bullish, the weekly chart is historically climactic. The odds are that the Emini will begin trading down within the next few weeks. The selloff will probably last for a few months and test the May and possibly March low.

Risk Disclosure
Futures and forex trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing ones’ financial security or life style. Only risk capital should be used for trading and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.
The trading room is for educational purposes only and opinions expressed are those of the presenter only. All trades presented should be considered hypothetical and should not be expected to be replicated in a live trading account.
Hypothetical Performance Disclosure
Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program.
One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk of actual trading. For example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all which can adversely affect trading results.

With silage season fast approaching, we thought it’d be a good idea to put together some information on creating silage clamps and the best precast concrete products to use.
Making sure you are prepared for silage can save thousands of pounds in potential loss, so it’s important to select the right product in order to create an efficient silage clamp.
For the creation of silage clamp walls, we recommend using our Modular Retaining Wall units. With fast installation times of up to 100m per day, panels can be put in place in no time, saving you a considerable amount on installation costs.
Our modular retaining walls are available in three different profiles: L, T and U, offering you a wide range of retaining wall options and flexibility with the design of your silage clamp.
Benefits of Modular Retaining Walls
Excellent concrete strength and finish using self-compacting C60/C75 concrete.
Top of units are rounded to avoid catching on silage sheeting.
Chamfered edges ensure excellent alignment between units.
We understand that your requirements can vary considerably, therefore we offer a number of different products that can be used to create silage clamps quickly, easily and cost-effectively.
Other suitable precast products include:
Prestressed Concrete Panels
Vertical Concrete Panels
Earth Bank Silage Walls
If you are unsure which product might be best for you, contact us and we can discuss possible options.
Delivery and Installation
Delivery times vary depending on the size and quantity of items required. We often have items in stock enabling fast turnaround on orders. We aim to deliver to you as soon as we are able to, so you can be sure your products will be with you in the quickest time possible.
Modular retaining walls do not require fixing when in position, allowing installation to be carried out quickly, saving you valuable time and money on installation costs. The units are positioned using our lorry mounted crane and benefit from a unique joining system which allows you to join and seal the units as they are installed.
For more information on any of our products or services, give us a call on 01158 220 282.

Illinois Supreme Court Reaffirms Tendering Full Relief Moots Claims of Plaintiff and Class
November 16, 2015
Share

At least since Wheatley v. Board of Education, 99 Ill. 2d 481, 485 (1984), the Illinois Supreme Court has approved of defendants’ practice of mooting putative class actions by tendering full relief to the named plaintiff, as long as the tender was made before the plaintiff filed a motion for class certification. This practice has come under increased scrutiny in federal courts, but the Illinois Supreme Court recently reaffirmed the practice in Ballard RN Center, Inc. v. Kohll’s Pharmacy & Homecare, Inc., 2015 IL 118644. The Court also held that a plaintiff could avoid mootness in some circumstances by filing a class certification motion before the defendant’s tender of relief even if that motion would fail on the merits. Id. at ¶39. In so holding, the Court preserved a useful tool to put an early end to class action litigation, but also provided plaintiffs with a potential counter to it.
This alert addresses the Illinois Supreme Court jurisprudence leading to Ballard, the Ballard holding itself, and how Illinois law differs from the latest Seventh Circuit opinion on this subject.
Wheatley, the earliest Illinois Supreme Court case on mooting putative class actions, illustrates the value of the strategy. There, teachers who were dismissed by their school board, brought a class action seeking a writ of mandamus and a declaratory judgment that the board violated the School Code by dismissing them without first holding a hearing. Because the named plaintiffs were reinstated before they filed a motion for class certification, and no representative was substituted in their place, the Court held that the case was moot. 99 Ill. 2d. at 485-86. Presumably lengthy litigation was avoided and the putative class members were apparently satisfied, as no one else stepped forward to file a new action.
As class action defendants followed the teachings of Wheatley by tendering full relief to named plaintiffs early in the case—a strategy pejoratively labeled by the plaintiffs’ bar as a “pick off” strategy—some courts developed a “pick off exception.” These courts held that a defendant could not moot the claim until the plaintiff had a “reasonable opportunity” to move for class certification.
The Illinois Supreme Court rejected this “pick off exception” in Barber v. American Airlines, 241 Ill. 2d 450, 458 (2011). In Barber, a plaintiff brought a class action against the airline because he was charged a baggage fee even though his flight was cancelled. Id. at 452. Before plaintiff moved for class certification, the defendant contacted her counsel and offered to refund the fee. Id. at 453. Although plaintiff declined the offer, the defendant issued a refund to plaintiff’s credit card three weeks later. Id. Because the defendant tendered the requested relief before plaintiff moved for class certification, the Court upheld the dismissal on the basis of mootness. Id. at 459.
The plaintiffs’ bar soon responded to this tactic by filing a class certification motion, often with little or no support, with the original complaint. That’s what happened in Ballard. The plaintiff filed a class action complaint concurrently with a pro forma motion for class certification. Ballard, at ¶8. The motion identified the putative classes, and cited case law, but included no supporting evidence or memorandum of law. Id. at ¶¶8-9. Thereafter, the defendant tendered three “unconditional offer[s] of payment exceeding the total recoverable [statutory] damages,” for one of the three counts of the complaint. Id. at ¶10. The offers were rejected. Id. at ¶11. The defendant then moved to dismiss based on mootness.
The defendant argued that the motion for class certification was so insufficient that it “could not operate to preclude a finding of mootness under Barber.” Id. at ¶26. The appellate court agreed, holding that the motion for class certification was a “shell” or “placeholder” motion containing insufficient factual allegations to bring the interests of the class before the trial court for purposes of Barber. Id. at ¶37. Otherwise, the court held, allowing such motions to preclude findings of mootness would “effectively eviscerate the Barber decision.” Id.
The Illinois Supreme Court reversed. While agreeing “in principle . . . that a contentless shell motion, or otherwise frivolous pleading, would be insufficient to preclude a mootness finding under Barber,” the Court held that plaintiff’s motion was sufficient because it “contain[ed] a general outline of plaintiff’s class membership, class action allegations, and effectively communicate[d] the fundamental nature of the putative class action.” Id. at ¶38 (internal quotations omitted). The Court explained that even if the motion for class certification was not sufficient to support class certification, the focus was not on the adequacy of the motion but when it was filed. Id. at ¶40.
The Illinois Supreme Court has thus preserved the validity of the “pick off” strategy and the sanctity of Article III standing requirements, but also provided plaintiffs with a potential counter to it—the filing of a class certification motion early in the case that meets the criteria outlined in the opinion. Although one might lament that the pick-off strategy is less likely to succeed because plaintiffs’ counsel will file an early class certification motion, that is not always the case. Inexperienced or out-of-state plaintiffs’ lawyers may not be aware of the law in Illinois with respect to mooting class claims.
Illinois’s approach differs from the approach of the Seventh Circuit. Damasco v. Clearwire Corp., 662 F.3d 891 (7th Cir. 2011), one of the leading cases supporting the mootness strategy, was recently overruled in Chapman v. First Index, Inc., 796 F.3d 783, 787 (7th Cir. 2015), “to the extent that [it] hold[s] that a defendant’s offer of full compensation moots the litigation or otherwise ends the Article III case or controversy.” Id. In other words, in the Seventh Circuit the so-called “pick off” strategy has been eliminated.
The Seventh Circuit relied on Justice Kagan’s dissent in Genesis Healthcare Corp. v. Symcyzk, 133 S. Ct. 1523 (2013), where she wrote that an unaccepted offer of full relief does not moot a named plaintiff’s claim. As she explained:
“A case becomes moot only when it is impossible for a court to grant any effectual relief whatever to the prevailing party. By those measures, an unaccepted offer of judgment cannot moot a case. When a plaintiff rejects such an offer—however good the terms—her interest in the lawsuit remains just what it was before. And so does the court’s ability to grant her relief. An unaccepted settlement offer—like any unaccepted contract offer—is a legal nullity, with no operative effect.”
Genesis Healthcare, 133 S. Ct. at 1533. Because of the procedural posture of Genesis Healthcare, we do not yet know the views of a majority of the Court on this important question.
But soon we may. The Court granted certiorari in Campbell-Ewald Co. v. Gomez, No. 14-857, on this very question in the context of a class action, and heard oral argument on October 14, 2015.
Ballard serves as a reminder to class action defendants that they should pay attention to the “pick off” rules in each relevant jurisdiction. The Illinois Supreme Court must know that the Seventh Circuit has overruled Damasco and yet specifically chose to maintain the Barber rule. This means that while an unaccepted offer of full relief may not moot a class action in federal court, it can in Illinois state court.

Friends for nearly a decade, there aren’t a lot of adventures we haven’t been on. We’ve ridden roller coasters, drank wine stashed in thermoses in the park, soaked in the Banff hot springs in matching bikinis, eaten most likely litres of Island Farms ice cream, talked under the stars, clung to each other during horror films and consumed our combined weight in Cupcakes. Ashley has even been a motherly hand to hold at the dentist’s office when I got an abscess on vacation.
What I love most about my “sister” – besides our uncanny knack to dress alike without even planning on it – is her unconditional love. No matter how different our viewpoints or opinions or thoughts are, she’s always there to love and respect me. Ashley is one of the few people I can be my true self with because she does not judge.
Ashley, I wish you a joyous, beautiful, sunshiny and fun-filled day. And by fun-filled, I actually mean ice cream-filled. Have a very, very happy birthday! xo

With current sequencing technologies, it is feasible to generate a lot of reads for a given genome. However, the assembly usually ends up in a set of contigs with gaps between them. If the sequences of one (or several) related genome(s) are already known, this information can be used to estimate the order and orientation of the contigs towards each other. This helps in the finishing phase of a sequencing project since it eases the design of specific primer sequences to fill the gaps.
Description
This is a toolsuite for ordering and orienting contigs in a comparative genomic fashion. Currently two programs are included:
r2cat, the related reference based contig arrangement tool can be used to order a set of contigs with respect to a single reference genome. This is done by mapping the contigs onto the reference using a q-gram filter. The mapping is visualized in a synteny plot.
treecat - phylogenetic tree based contig arrangement tool takes several genomes and their relationships in a phylogenetic tree into account to estimate a possible ordering of the contigs.
Sign on to this mailinglist if you want to be up to date about bugfixes and latest developments for r2cat and treecat.
Starting the application
It is easy to start the programs of this toolsuite. All that is needed is Java WebStart. To try out an application select a r2cat or treecat in navigation above.

Gravity Falls is one of Disney’s best shows, if not the best. It is a kid-friendly comedy, but also a mystery with coming-of-age themes. It mixes a carefree feeling with supernatural elements and heartfelt moments between characters. The whole show has a really cool design for all its creatures and a unique animation style for its characters. It has gotten good reviews from a lot of different places, including 100% on Rotten Tomatoes and 4.9 stars on Google. Having come out in 2012 and getting a 2nd season in 2014, it is not expected to have more seasons.
Gravity Falls follows 2 twelve-year-old siblings named Mabel and Dipper that go to live with their great uncle Stan, who owns a store called the Mystery Shack in Gravity Falls. Gravity Falls is a town plagued by weird creatures and magic, and this is the main part of the show. The shack is a tourist attraction store that is mostly a scam. Mabel and Dipper are very friendly towards each other in general, but throughout the show they don’t always get along great. Mabel is a very happy and enthusiastic girl, while Dipper is an awkward and nerdy boy who is obsessed with the mystery of Gravity Falls. The whole town is filled with magic and crazy creatures. During the summer, they meet 2 employees at the shack named Wendy and Soos. Soos is a lovable 22 year old man and Wendy is a 15 year old girl, they all become friends. Dipper quickly develops a crush on Wendy, but eventually realizes it won’t work and they just stay friends. Season 1 is more about getting to know the characters, learning about the town by the adventures they go on, and setting the events of the second season into motion.
Throughout the story, Grunkle Stan (Dipper and Mabel’s great uncle) is more of a side character and isn’t involved much in the story of the siblings, but at the start of the second season, he reveals he had a secret brother that had been stuck in a different dimension for 30 years. After he is freed, they learn about Stan’s backstory and learn about his brother (who is also named Stan). Dipper gets pretty close with the second Stan and they have some cool adventures. As the season progresses, Stan #2 offers Dipper to stay in Gravity Falls with him to learn more about it. This would mean leaving Mabel. This leads them to have one last conflict, ending in the Bill Cipher being released. Bill Cipher is the ultimate enemy in the show and was hinted at throughout the show, and he is (in my opinion) the best character. He triggers an apocalypse, and the episodes it’s in are the best of the series, in my opinion. They’re really weird, but in a good way. In the end, they free Mabel from a prison and destroy the Bill. They eventually bid the people they met goodbye and go home, it ends on a really satisfying note.
I need to give some praise to Alex Hirsch. He wrote, directed, made the art for, and produced the show, in addition to voicing Stan, Soos, Bill Cipher, and many more small characters. Without him, the show would be nothing.
Usually I don’t watch kids shows, but this is definitely an exception. Part of it is the fact the jokes aren’t just for kids, they’re funny for everyone. This show also has some pretty intense stuff in it. Like when animal heads mounted on the wall start pouring blood from their mouth and eyes, or when someone’s ears, eyes, and mouth swap places. The plot is also very compelling and interesting. This all comes together for a great show for all ages. I give it 95/100 raisins.

« For it is all the wealth that he hath left, to be known a reasonable creature ... | Main | Fragments of Parallax »
May 09, 2006
The Parallax View - Now, with extra zombies (for all we know)!
Please note that a new comment policy is in effect. See sidebar. Now. To work. I'm supposed to review the new Zizek book, The Parallax View (short circuits) , for The Common Review. (Adam K. groans. Hey, what can I say? They asked, I said yes.) Zizek is now writing about David Chalmers (who has a wonderful home page and even one of those new-fangled blogs.)
One of my colleagues looks over my shoulder, as I remark Zizek's foray into analytic philosophy. "He knows about Chalmers?" Can you imagine my response? But my question for you, dubbleyou, concerns Zizek on Heidegger:
So when David Chalmers proposes that the basis of consciousness will have to be found in a new, additional, fundamental - primordial and irreducible - force of nature, like gravity or electromagnetism, something like an elementary (self)-sentience or awareness, does he not thereby provide a new proof of how idealism coincides with vulgar materialism? Does he not precisely miss the pure ideality of (self)-awareness? This is where the topic of finitude in the strict Heideggerian sense should be mobilized: if we try to conceive of consciousness within an ontologically fully realized field of reality, it can only appear as an additional positive moment; but what about linking consciousness to the very finitude, ontological incompleteness, of the human being, to its being originally out-of-joint, thrown-into, exposed to, an overwhelming constellation? (p. 168)
Yes, yes I know - Chalmers stuff already messed up six ways to Sunday. Chalmers nothing like a vulgar materialist. More like a Spinozist, if you ask me. (People said Spinoza was a vulgar materialist, too, come to think of it. But there is just no dragging some people to philosophy. Also, I think it is rather sloppy form of Zizek to footnote only Chalmers' whole bloody book, The Conscious Mind, rather than - say - a section, page, or even chapter, so that the inquiring reader might inquire after the alleged vulgarity in moderately efficient fashion.) Ok, ok, I'll include a footnote about the Chalmers. You twisted my arm.
But first, what's with the Heidegger stuff? I want to make sure I'm not missing anything here. "Mobilizing the topic of finitude"? That means: talking about death, right? For Heidegger, 'finitude' is 'being towards death'. Right? We may not understand what Heidegger means, but whatever he means by 'finitude' is the same as whatever he means by the other thing. I'm just trying to be sure that there isn't some completely other, important topic of 'finitude' in Heidegger. So Zizek is trying to make some point about how, if consciousness is finite, i.e. mortal, then Chalmers cannot possibly be right with his gestures towards panpsychism. (And it looks to me as though the argument is: your conclusion is wrong, because Heidegger's conclusion is right, so your argument must be wrong.)
What about "ontologically fully realized field of reality"? This is not ringing any Heideggerian bells in my belfry. 'Fully-realized reality'? Sounds like - I dunno - Plotinus. Plenitude and emanations and degrees of reality. More Platonic than Heideggerian. It doesn't sound like Heideggerese, but please correct me if I'm wrong. It sounds as though what Zizek is getting at, anyway, is a sort of Berkeleyan argument that you cannot conceive of a consciousnessless reality. For tree falling in the forest-type reasons, basically. If a reality exists, and no one is there for it to disclose itself to, is it? Suggested answer: no. Yet the point isn't that, then, we subjects are the world-subject, in any transcendental way. Rather, we are still "thrown into, exposed to". I think I can sort of grok what we are supposed to be agreeing to here, though I certainly don't , but the phrase nags: "ontologically fully realized field of reality"? Why put it that way?
[Oh, wait, there's more stuff about Heidegger on finitude on pp. 273-4. I'll get back to you, but I still want to know aboout 'fully realized reality'.]
I must say I am sincerely disappointed that there is no discussion of Pakula's The Parallax View [Amazon] - on sale for only $6.99! It turns out that the DVD version is probably much better than the old VHS version, the only way I've ever seen it. Pakula goes for the flat, long-lens, middle-distance look - in Klute, or example. Very chilly. Composed. Good. I never thought Parallax looked as good as Klute, however. Now (from reader Amazon comments, admittedly an unreliable source) I learn that's probably because the VHS version messed it all up in some misbegotten attempt to fit my TV screen with pan-and-scan. Tagline: "He saw too much". Alas, I fear we did not see enough!
Zizek's book is in this new 'short circuits' series he's gotten MIT to give him. "'Short circuits' intends to revive a practice of reading which confronts a classic text, author, or notion with its own hidden presuppositions, and thus reveals its disavowed truth." Eh. 'Revive'? Isn't that rather presumptuous? Like the man sang, "Well, you know/We're all doing what we can." I notice that Short Circuit is only $5.99 (marked down 40%). It's got a loooong way to go. Still. It's relevant. Is not the event which number 5 undergoes some sort of important metaphor of 'thrown-ness'? As the summary puts it. "He develops self-awareness, consciousness, and a fear of the reprogramming that awaits him back at the factory. With the help of a young woman, Number 5 tries to evade capture and convince his creator that he has truly become alive."
Why is it these sentimental SF productions are always hung up about life being the issue? A carrot is alive. (Still, I do like the moment in The Fifth Element when the big turtle-y alien passes Luke Perry the key through the gap: 'time does not matter, only life matters.' I get all verklempt, if not entworfen.)
But say what you will about Republican 'incompetence'. At least they repealed the law that said every movie had to have Steve Guttenberg in it. (You see what I mean?)
My subconscious is telling me I stole that joke from someone, but now I can't remember. Maybe I've just used it before.
Now, Chalmers. If you don't believe me about Chalmers being sort of a Spinozist-y sort of fellow, read something like his "Consciousness and its Place in Nature" piece. The view that Zizek seems to be mistaking for 'vulgar' materialism - i.e. materialism that does not consider other possible views, hence has its face rocked by coincidence with idealism - is what Chalmers calls Type-F Monism. (He thinks that since C.D. Broad's day, the range of potentially defensible types of view of the place of consciousness/mind in nature has winnowed from 17 to 6 - A - F.) The view Chalmers' is tempted by (but doesn't decisively stump for, because there are other possibilities) which Zizek appears to be talking about in the passage is Type-F Monism. I report, you decide:
At the same time, there is another metaphysical problem: how can phenomenal properties be integrated with the physical world? Phenomenal properties seem to be intrinsic properties that are hard to fit in with the structural/dynamic character of physical theory; and arguably, they are the only intrinsic properties that we have direct knowledge of. Russell's insight was that we might solve both these problems at once. Perhaps the intrinsic properties of the physical world are themselves phenomenal properties. Or perhaps the intrinsic properties of the physical world are not phenomenal properties, but nevertheless constitute phenomenal properties: that is, perhaps they are protophenomenal properties. If so, then consciousness and physical reality are deeply intertwined.
This view holds the promise of integrating phenomenal and physical properties very tightly in the natural world. Here, nature consists of entities with intrinsic (proto)phenomenal qualities standing in causal relations within a spacetime manifold. Physics as we know it emerges from the relations between these entities, whereas consciousness as we know it emerges from their intrinsic nature. As a bonus, this view is perfectly compatible with the causal closure of the microphysical, and indeed with existing physical laws. The view can retain the structure of physical theory as it already exists; it simply supplements this structure with an intrinsic nature. And the view acknowledges a clear causal role for consciousness in the physical world: (proto)phenomenal properties serve as the ultimate categorical basis of all physical causation.
This view has elements in common with both materialism and dualism. From one perspective, it can be seen as a sort of materialism. If one holds that physical terms refer not to dispositional properties but the underlying intrinsic properties, then the protophenomenal properties can be seen as physical properties, thus preserving a sort of materialism. From another perspective, it can be seen as a sort of dualism. The view acknowledges phenomenal or protophenomenal properties as ontologically fundamental, and it retains an underlying duality between structural-dispositional properties (those directly characterized in physical theory) and intrinsic protophenomenal properties (those responsible for consciousness). One might suggest that while the view arguably fits the letter of materialism, it shares the spirit of antimaterialism.
In its protophenomenal form, the view can be seen as a sort of neutral monism: there are underlying neutral properties X (the protophenomenal properties), such that the X properties are simultaneously responsible for constituting the physical domain (by their relations) and the phenomenal domain (by their collective intrinsic nature). In its phenomenal form, can be seen as a sort of idealism, such that mental properties constitute physical properties, although these need not be mental properties in the mind of an observer, and they may need to be supplemented by causal and spatiotemporal properties in addition. One could also characterize this form of the view as a sort of panpsychism, with phenomenal properties ubiquitous at the fundamental level. One could give the view in its most general form the name panprotopsychism, with either protophenomenal or phenomenal properties underlying all of physical reality.
Then he starts in with the zombies. So I'll stop.

You know that Stevie Nicks song on Tusk that goes something like "sister of the mooon!" Sometimes people describe that as hyper-romantic.
I think we need a different term. "Kitsch" isn't it.

You will be interested to know that my iPod indicates that I have listened to the previously unreleased version of "Sisters of the Moon" 6 times, since I purchased the CD version [see sidebar] that has a lot of extra tracks. All the Lindsey Buckingham tracks are just tremendous. A sort of toy piano version of "That's All For Everything". It's my new favorite album. There are three new versions of "I know I'm not wrong", which I have listened to - together with the original - a total of 44 times since I purchased the disk. There's a version of "Honey Hi" with a beautiful Shuggie Otis keyboard thing.

Of course this thread already contains, like, 304 versions of "I Know I'm not Wrong", so yeah, I should have seen that one coming.
Posted by: jholbo | May 23, 2006 at 11:51 PM
The term rather neutrally - albeit vaguely - picks out a subject, and then people disagree about it. We got a lot of resistance to the very use of 'theory' during the event, but that's like neocons telling people that there are no neocons. It's just a way to prevent criticism.
Hm...
Wow, John. Honestly, one just has to suspect you know this isn't true, if you are to be given any credit.
One could pull up the appropriate links, I suppose. After all, having myself often qualified, rather explicitly, the "resistance" in question to be directed against your manner of deployment of this popular word, i.e., your supporting arguments, and the limits or inaccuracies of your framing, etc. But maybe Rich will oblige. (Or I suppose one could just google "Theory's Empire.")
It's too bad the Spinoza question was lost, as this might have been an interesting discussion yet.
(As an aside, hon any case, this strikes me as a rather transparent straw-manning of your occasional blog critics. Perhaps the neocon and Horowitz analogies are likewise meant to insult them, or bait people into "being rude," and so further sink these threads into distraction.
The analogies don't work for a simple reason. Nobody has ever denied the existence of the colophon "Theory."
Your position, however, insists on making it into more than a colophon.
So it's unfortunate you haven't taken the opportunity, offered above by Doctor Slack, to admit any change of heart in this regard.
Yes, one could justify this "neutral" use in various ways, of course. One could say, for instance, that "Theory" is also that which is championed by "Theorists" themselves, whole-heartedly, and without a whiff of irony, qualification or polemic directed toward those who have, increasingly during the last two decades, deployed it as lazy, anti-intellectual pejorative. (One would still be mostly wrong, but one certainly could.)
Once again, the poor reputation within academia may indeed be earned - since the beginning of this debate I've often called most of Theory "atrocious" - but that doesn't make the pejorative, invoked by itself, any less a pejorative. One can criticize an academic taste culture by itself, of course (and there are perhaps more productive ways of doing so), but unless one is engaging with the ideas themselves, this critique will remain limited, polemical and popular.
One might look at it this way: the taste culture is philistine, so also your critique of it, as long as it refrains from more substantial and patient engagement with ideas, or demonstrating a deeper knoweldge of the tradition, will likely be so.
Now, both you and Scott have engaged also with ideas, at times. The things you eventually say are sometimes debated without these polemical stakes over Theory muddling matters. More often they are not. People tend to point out where your reading of various thinkers is flawed. But because rather than discussing (continental) philosophy, the stakes are always brought back to Theory, one cannot help suspect this is mostly a waste of your critics' time.)
I suppose it has to do with your intended audience, John, which I take to be someone like Brian Leiter, i.e., an academic already sympathetic to your aims. Or a broader public, composed of people looking for yet another reason not to read Derrida. Not being a continental philosopher yourself, and judging from everything you have eventually said in the way of supporting argument, yours will be a very popular (and quite dismissive) "history of Theory." I take this to be a fairly obvious point. (After all, you begin with some relatively obscure and outdated piece of Terry Eagleton from twenty years ago.)
I guess it really comes down to: what are you LOOKING for?
Indeed, so it would seem.

Posted by: Mike | May 24, 2006 at 03:22 AM
Okay. Back from the long weekend for one last go at this thread.
Since I've opened multiple cans of worms at once, my answer is necessarily going to be long. Again. In fact, believe it or not, this here is the short version.
(I see Matt has anticipated a bit of this, but never mind...)
1. To be more clear about what I'm still confused about re: "Theory" -- well, the "analogy" that confused you was an attempt to reproduce certain points you've previously used to characterize "Theory," transposed into a discussion of "Philosophy." So a distinct field to have started around that time, I don't understand why; do Russian Formalism and the New Criticism not qualify as theory, for instance? If not, why not?
I understand you to have contended, and presumably still to contend, that the term "Theory" picks out a style as well as a period, and that style is meant as both an aesthetic and intellectual term. I'm puzzled by what this means, particularly since what seems to me the definingightenment and related Romantic traditions, which is a curious and tantalizing claim that I have no way of assessing at present. (I tend to wonder how true it is that theorists (they are out there) who claim to be tilting against "the Enlightenment" are really doing so.)
As for the "Patai & Corral" type of complaint about theory, forget about it. Unless I'm told otherwise, I will understand you not to be saying any such thing.
Does that help?
2. "Definition": my general puzzlement about John's proclaimed hostility to definition ties into a broader issue than my own confusions about the usages of "Theory" or "Higher Eclecticism." This digression actually isn't very interesting, but I feel compelled to try to clarify.
John says: I guess I feel that my writing on the subject has contained enough examples that I sort of figured you were looking, instead, for a definition that would not only be clear but capable of a significant level of self-defense.
"Self-defense" is not really the role of definition, as I think you know; its role is more as a starting point for discussion and (hopefully) as a time-saving mechanism, a way of ruling out some of the more common misconceptions about how a term is used, or at least spelling out some of the possible ambiguities that parties to the debate might be working with.
Since definition helps to frame or provide a starting point for debate, I don't see how refusing to engage in it because it might lead to error is useful, given that error is just as easy to come by in working without it. This is particularly true in an environment like the debate over theory or over specific theorists, where past critics of "Theory" have often rather queered the pitch for you with disproportionate amounts of incurious and intellectually lazy engagement.
I was adducing the Spivak thread Rich quoted as an example of the kind of misreading that definition might help to ameloriate (and not by way of making excuses for psychoanalytic gamesmanship); basically, in the absence of a defined starting point, what happened there was people trying loosely to figure out what your "tone poem" criticism was driving at -- and it seemed a mixed bag, with rather superficial criticisms like "dramatic miersion of the "Bad Writing" critique. I suspect that just such a mistake prompted the casting about for "what's really going on" in the post Rich linked to.
Now, people are always going to make mistakes and misread you from time to time. But could the frustrations you experienced in that and other contexts have been ameliorated if your approach had been to briefly and contingently define "the Higher Eclecticism" instead of directing readers to this or that thread because you're sick of talking about it? I think maybe so. That's all I'm saying.
Posted by: Doctor Slack | May 24, 2006 at 04:08 AM
Slack writes: "To be more clear about what I'm still confused about re: "Theory" -- well, the "analogy" that confused you was an attempt to reproduce certain points you've previously used to characterize "Theory," transposed into a discussion of "Philosophy." So, I'm confused as to why you took that to be an occasion to talk about the "T-to-t fallacy," first off."
I was puzzled by the analogy because I myself made the same analogy in my T-t discussion, and so I was unclear how you thought it cut AGAINST my point. (I'm still not seeing it, but perhaps it isn't important.)
Slack continues:
'I understand the scope of your subject matter to be a "Theory" which you contend begins, proper, in the 1960s. If in fact you believe "Theory" as a distinct field to have started around that time, I don't understand why; do Russian Formalism and the New Criticism not qualify as theory, for instance? If not, why not?"'
For the same reason that Descartes isn't an 'analytic' philosopher even though he plausibly analyzed a few things in his time. 'Analytic' is name for a school/movement/style. Likewise, 'Theory' is a name for a school/movement/style - on Theory. I usually say that Theory is an Anglophone repetition of a French repetition of German Romanticism. But that's oversimple in a lot of ways (because I'm often writing in comment boxes.) Russian formalism is one of the main roots of Theory. In attacking Theory, I suppose it might seem that I am trying to denigrate Russian formalism by association, which I don't really mean to do. (It's that refuting continental philosophy on the cheap concern rearing its head again.) What I want to do is understand the lineage - a piece of intellectual history. And I want to critiqne already. The reason I never defined Higher Eclecticism was that it wasn't a starting point for me. It was an afterthought - a comment box sort of shorthand for 'what Holbo said'. It was for use by people who already knew what Holbo said, roughly, so it didn't seem needful to define it. I didn't invent the term. Scott K. did. I took it up, and others took it up, because it seemed rather apt. I'm not opposed to defining it, although I suspect the definitions will mainly function as fodder for strawtisfactory definitions have in fact been offered by now, although they weren't initially.
As to why in the Spivak debate I decided just to link to some old posts and threads rather than discussing 'Higher Eclecticism' again. Reason: those old posts and threads seem to me pretty clear. So I felt I had said my piece. On the other hand, I had been justly criticized for not doing enough close reading of Theorists. So I chose to do some close reading of Spivak, which I think ended up being a pretty ok illustration of the Higher Eclecticism in action.
Also, I had a plane to catch. (Yes, I could have asked them to reschedule the event for some time when I wouldn't be flying, but there were so many people involved ...)
One quick response to Matt, who complains about me saying that 'Theory' is a 'neutral' term, rather than an inherently pejorative label: "how a term ever "neutrally" picks out a subject in anything but the most limited, idealized fashion, before it accrues meaning through repetition, use and context (some of which, needless ring the surly bonds of context and use - I apologize for confuse caused. I have indeed heard tell of these things you call 'context' and 'use', and would be properly shocked at the very thought that they and 'Theory' were twain.
In short, when someone is obvously idealizing in a very limited fashion (like myself), complaining that their iealization will only function in a limited fashion seems doubtfully helpful, as a critique.
Posted by: jholbo | May 24, 2006 at 12:23 PM
Instead of Theory or aesthetic ideology, or continental philosophy, truth claims. That is what analytical philosophy is about, mainly. Chalmers offers a truth claim. Is it true or false? Are the arguments convincing? Is there sufficient data for the claim? A sort of "truth claim" criteria would eliminate not just entire journals of hyper-conceptualized, unverifiable "Theory", but the endless literary speculations and "politics via aesthetics". A decent analytically-inspired truth criteria applied at state level would do wonders in terms of eliminating bureaucratic pseudo-research and speculation (indicate on line 19C: are you making a synthetic or analytical claim? If A posteriori, move to next line; if a priori, STOP. your idea/claim/hypothesis is wrong). Such a criteria would also save the state millions of dollars (no more public funding of state university literature, arts, or theology departments)

Posted by: jholbo | May 24, 2006 at 10:03 PM
John says: 'Theory' is a name for a school/movement/style - one which was largely in opposition to the New Criticism. The fact that many New Critics were highly theory-minded (Wimsatt and Beardsley) d style. (I also think the New Critics became an example of why that would in fact be a bad thing, but that's an argument for another day.) It seems very weird to me to rule them out of Theory when most introductory treatments of the subject start with them as the inception of "modern" systematized thinking about literature.
Beyond that, I suspect a pretty reasonable case could be made that aspects of the New Criticism have continued to be influential despite the end of their dominance of the field. Ruling Wimsatt and Beardsley irrelevant -- when they contributed a major component to the operating principles of contemporary theory -- strikes me as rather begging the question.
As for theory post-Sixties: well, I can see the case, in a specific time period, for a loose shared sense of "movement" (long since dissipated, as some have lamented, by a much looser sense of shared professionalism). But I fail to see the sense in which Fredric Jameson, Stephen Greenblatt, Paul de Man, Tzvetan Todorov, Paul Gilroy and Judith Butler could be usefully called members of anything close to the same "school" or "style." Each of those six figures represents a fairly major influence on literary theory (or some sector thereof), and their intellectual and stylistic approaches are so different from one another that adherents frequently have difficulty communicating.
I'm one of these "can't we all just get along, or at least understand each other" types, so the calling Theory a school, movement or style doesn't just seem inaccurate to me. It seems to actually tend in the opposite direction from addressing the real problems in the field.

Ahem. Well, at least when it comes to theory...
Posted by: Doctor Slack | May 26, 2006 at 02:09 AM
I'm happy to get along doctor. I suggest that the way to do it is to accept all the things you write, above, and sort of think of them as the very reasons foat 08:48 PM
Regarding the comments policy, do the laws of Singapore prescribe caning for trolls?
Posted by: John Emerson | May 29, 2006 at 03:12 AM
John says: Do you see how I can see them all as supporting what I do?
To a certain extent, sure. I think the "Theory as a school" thing is the biggest sticking point for me... but even there I'm not saying I think it's absolutely impossible to make the case, just that I have a hard time seeing it.
Cheers.

While it doesn't seem that strange that a massive argument was fought above about whether JH is a continental philosopher I have diffculty imagining an argument with X claiming that he is an analytic philosopher and a group of analytic philosophers saying that he is not. Why is this so?

I’d prefer reading in my native language, because my knowledge of your languange is no so well. But it was interesting!

IfS support to Palestine refugees
IfS support to Palestine refugees
The Instrument for Stability collaborates with the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) to support Palestine refugees retaining their livelihoods in the midst of the Syrian crisis.
The conflict in Syria has affected the weak and vulnerable disproportionately, among them women, children and also many Palestine refugees. Prior to the conflict Syria offered a relatively hospitable environment to the almost 519,000 registered Palestine refugees, most of whom lived in the greater Damascus area. Their situation has deteriorated significantly and rapidly.
Aware of their precarious status, most Palestine refugees have avoided positioning themselves in the conflict, but this has not protected them from becoming caught up between the warring parties. Fighting has been taking place in the vicinity of camps and has also entered them - especially in Yarmouk camp in Damascus city. By November 2013, more than half of the Palestine refugees in Syria have been displaced inside Syria or fled to the neighbouring countries and 80% are in need of assistance (UN figures).
The Instrument for Stability collaborates with UNRWA to provide critical assistance, helping ordinary Palestine refugees and Syrians retain their livelihoods, and continue their education. Increased safety and security measures allow UNRWA staff (mainly Palestine refugees) to remain operational despite the on-going conflict. Those who need to flee Syria, mainly to Lebanon, are helped with accommodation.
Alternative learning modules are developed through this project: 400 lessons based on the Syrian curriculum in the topics of Maths, Arabic, English and Science are being produced and broadcast via satellite TV so that Palestine refugee and Syrian children can follow lessons even when the on-going conflict prevents them from physically going to school.

"I got another oil pan, I got another engine... I got another car if we need it!" — when you're this prepared, why not go four-wheeling in an Audi S8?

What cracks me up about this video isn't that this guy went on a trip through the woods in a big Audi. It's that he went in the longest, lowest big Audi possible.

I mean, if you're going to go offroad, why not do it in a V10 luxury car?
And the car kind of holds up! I wouldn't recommend this if you didn't have the arsenal of spares this mystery man has at his disposal, but it seems to have worked out.
