In the first half of this year, FPT corporation recorded revenue of VND19.82 trillion (US$862 million), bringing a profit before tax of VND3.637 billion ($158 million).
It is reported that the corporation’s business results maintained double-digit growth, with the main driving force coming from increasing demand in the technology segment, especially digital transformation services and change in the profit margin of the telecommunications segment.
The technology sector (Domestic IT services and Global IT services) has continued playing a key role, contributing 57 per cent of revenue and 45 per cent of the pre-tax profit of FPT Corporation.
Global IT Service revenue reached VND8.622 trillion, surging 29 per cent, while profit before tax reached VND1.36 trillion, up 28.4 per cent over the same period last year. Notably, revenue grew in all markets, especially in the US (up 48.4 per cent) and Asia - Pacific (up 55.5 per cent).
The Japanese market witnessed a rapid recovery, with the JPY-based revenue growth reaching 18 per cent. Digital transformation revenue reached VND3.484 trillion, an increase of 64.6 per cent over the same period, reflecting the constantly increasing demand in the market, affirming the ability to provide effective and comprehensive digital transformation services of the company.
Global IT Services recorded newly-signed revenue of VND11.6 trillion, up 40 per cent over the same period, creating a solid growth momentum for the second half of 2022. FPT also recorded 13 projects with a scale of over $5 million.
The domestic IT services segment achieved revenue and pre-tax profit of VND2.63 trillion and VND263 billion, respectively. Of which, products of the Made-by-FPT ecosystem brought in VND406 billion in revenue, up 51.6 per cent over the same period.
The made-by-FPT technology ecosystem is developed on core technology platforms including AI, Blockchain, Cloud, IoT and Lowcode, and has broad applicability in many vital fields such as e-government, transportation, healthcare, finance and banking, telecommunications, education and manufacturing. This is one of the important growth drivers for FPT in the long term.
The strong demand for education in the IT industry has also contributed to boosting FPT's Education revenue by 42 per cent in the first half of this year, compared to the same period last year, reaching VND1.935 trillion. — VNS

Fact-Check: Obama Waited Until 'Millions' Infected and 1000 Dead in U.S. Before Declaring H1N1 Emergency
BY VICTORIA TAFT | PJ Media
President Barack Obama laughs with aides aboard Air Force One en route to Singapore, Nov. 14, 2009. (Official White House Photo by Pete Souza)
"Let's call it Trumpvirus," urged a New York Times opinion writer conspiratorially. Nancy Pelosi groused that President Trump waited too long to attack the coronavirus (COVID-19) and then impetuously declared he couldn't have leftover and unspent Ebola virus money to fight it, while Senator Chuck Schumer looked down his nose and over his glasses to intone that it was the end of the world and the president hadn't spent enough money to stop the scourge. Joe Biden and Michael Bloomberg have both been called out for politicizing the virus.
By their lights, Trump's doing it all wrong. They won't be able to tell you why, but (stomps foot) they just know. They're praying for a pandemic filled with infected people and decimation of the stock market just to fix Trump's wagon in his re-election campaign, now that the whole Russian-secret-agent and peeing-hooker story went belly-up.
They just know that he's such a dummy that it wouldn't ever occur to him to stop air travel from an infected nation, increase screenings, involuntarily quarantine those infected with the virus when they were repatriated and seek a vaccine now.
Oh, wait, he has done all of those things and was called a racist for doing it.
We've had several creepy viruses emerge over the past two decades. There's been MRSA, SARS, and H1N1 (swine flu), to name a few. But it's been the H1N1 flu that has been most compared to this outbreak.
Surely, St. Barack of Obama would have dealt with this horrible pandemic better than Orange Man Bad, right? No-Drama-Obama had this whole thing under control, of course!
Well, let's compare and contrast.
The American Journal of Clinical Pathology reports that this coronavirus (COVID-19) was first seen in late December:
On December 30, 2019, scientists in China "a cluster of patients with pneumonia of unknown etiology was observed in Wuhan, China, and reported to the World Health Organization (WHO) China bureau in Beijing. A week later, January 7, 2020, a new coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) was isolated from these patients."
As we suspect, the Chinese government tried to keep the virus outbreak secret – for what reason we don't know. What we do know, however, is that by January 31, 2020, President Trump had declared a public health emergency and began restricting U.S. access to non-citizens from China. Flights filled with U.S. citizens who were in Wuhan were brought to America and those people were quarantined on U.S. military bases for two weeks.
Though he lamented being called a "racist" for doing so, Trump says if he hadn't hardened the U.S. borders at that point, the virus would have had gained a bigger foothold in the country.
Now, let's go to the Wayback Machine. In April of 2009, the H1N1 became a pandemic.
But it wasn't until six months later, October, that then-President Obama declared a public health emergency on what was already a pandemic. By that time, the disease had infected millions of Americans and more than 1,000 people had died in the U.S.
CNN reported at the time:
Since the H1N1 flu pandemic began in April, millions of people in the United States have been infected, at least 20,000 have been hospitalized and more than 1,000 have died, said Dr. Thomas Frieden, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. [emphasis added]
Furthermore, the CDC's Frieden fretted at the time that efforts to create a vaccine had stumbled:
"We are nowhere near where we thought we would be," Frieden said, acknowledging that manufacturing delays have contributed to less vaccine being available than expected. "As public health professionals, vaccination is our strongest tool. Not having enough is frustrating to all of us."
Frieden said that while the way vaccine is manufactured is "tried and true," it's not well-suited for ramping up production during a pandemic because it takes at least six months. The vaccine is produced by growing weakened virus in eggs.
But wait, there's more.
According to Virology Journal, the 2009 H1N1 came into the U.S. from Mexico:
The swine-origin influenza A (H1N1) virus that appeared in 2009 and was first found in human beings in Mexico, is a reassortant with at least three parents. Six of the genes are closest in sequence to those of H1N2 'triple-reassortant' influenza viruses isolated from pigs in North America around 1999-2000.
Now, about that "racist" wall ...
Every time the Left tries to make Trump look bad on this issue they're found to be frauds.
In fact, by 2015, Obama was back trying to counter a new H1N1 outbreak in the country.
Democrats have weaponized the virus stories to get Trump. Of course they have.
But for the sake of argument, can we all stipulate that it would be really nice if we could just get humans to stop sleeping with pigs, kissing birds, and eating live bats so we wouldn't have to deal with this?
Here's Obama telling everyone in 2009 to wash their hands after the H1N1 virus had already become a pandemic:

By CONRAD BLACK, Special to the Sun
The presidential election result is now down to five questions.
Can the President override the Democratic press’s thunderous campaign to terrorize the country over the coronavirus?
Can the president successfully connect Vice President Biden’s campaign to the hooligans, anti-white racists, and urban guerrillas who effectively are being encouraged by the corrupt Democratic mayors of many of the nation’s largest cities?
Will the economic recovery and the decline in the unemployment generated by the COVID-19 shutdown continue at its recent pace and strengthen the economy as a pro-Trump electoral argument?
Will the Republicans make adequately clear to the country the authoritarian and Marxist implications of the Biden-Sanders unity document?
Will special counsel John Durham indict senior members of the Obama Administration over their handling of the spurious allegation of collusion between Donald Trump and the Russian government in the 2016 election and Justice Department violations of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), and how will Mr. Biden himself come through it?
Apart from the Durham question, the president has it in his power to produce answers favorable to himself on the other four questions.
He has a defensible record in his handling of COVID-19, was prescient in restricting direct air travel from China and Europe to the United States (which the Democrats opposed), and cooperated even with governors who had been extremely antagonistic prior to the pandemic. He sought and accepted the guidance of leading epidemiologists in taking drastic measures to “flatten the curve,” and he showed evident executive ability in quickly developing world-leading coronavirus testing capacity and supplying essential equipment throughout the country.
Mr. Trump has been represented as cavalier about the virus itself — a perception problem that has arisen due to his efficient response and move to reopen the economy more quickly than the Democrats, who had hoped that they could prolong the shutdown until the election in order to blame the president for the resulting economic depression.
The president effectively declared victory and sponsored a back-to-work movement and the Democrats have responded by using their iron-fisted control of the national political press to portray the President as cruel and incompetent, while they espouse a completely fatuous policy of indefinite lockdown, colossal emergency income substitution from the treasury, mass testing and tracing of everyone that has been in recent contact with those who test positive and badgering them to self-quarantine.
It is absurd. The President moved on Tuesday to counter this campaign in his first coronavirus press meeting for many weeks. He was businesslike and effective. What is needed is a full-scale public relations campaign including news film of the president at key distribution sites and medical centers. Excessive staging and histrionics must be avoided, and the reduction in fatality rates, improvement in techniques for protecting the immunity-challenged, and administration of therapeutics should all be emphasized — it being understood that 90% of the national political press will go to extraordinary lengths to deny the president credit for anything. At some point, there should be a backlash in the President’s favor to this heavy press bias.
Urban violence, defunding police, and the balance between curbing police mistreatment of African Americans and doing everything reasonably responsible to discourage and punish crime, have now become a great chicken game.
The president has already begun to taint the Democratic Party by identification with notoriously corrupt and incompetent Democratic civic political machines. The Democrats have governed in Chicago for 89 years. Their ethics and competence have been in decline for decades and latterly in freefall, and the present mayor, Lori Lightfoot, is a racist and a seeming idiot. The Jussie Smollett case was a vivid depiction of the venality of the Chicago Democrats; they are so rotten it is a wonder that the roofs are still on the public buildings.
In New York City, the surrealistically inept mayor, Bill de Blasio, has squandered almost everything his distinguished predecessors Rudolph Giuliani and Michael Bloomberg accomplished. Eric Garcetti in Los Angeles, Ted Wheeler in Portland, and Jenny Durkan in Seattle are all hopeless and the last two, as well as Mayor Lightfoot of Chicago, effectively have sided with rioters and arsonists against their own police departments.
Parts of Chicago and New York are just 360-degree shooting galleries as the demoralized and defunded police essentially have given up, and murder rates have skyrocketed. The president will have to judge when it is better to exercise his constitutional duty to defend federal government property and ensure the enforcement of the nation’s laws than it is to allow the sanguinary spectacle of the disintegration of municipal government in some of the nations great cities to illuminate the depths of Democratic urban decay and hypocrisy.
As the country awaits the president’s timing in these matters, there is no reason to doubt that unemployment will continue to descend quickly. A huge amount of new demand has been injected into the system by relief measures and people prefer employment to unemployment, a preference further economic assistance measures should encourage.
The Democratic pantomime of posing as the chief enemies of the coronavirus rather than its political beneficiary, and as the authors of emergency job or replacement schemes more remunerative than work itself cannot last much longer.
There is no need until after Labor Day to paint too vividly the implications of the “progressive” unity agreement between presumptive Democratic nominee Biden and Vermont socialist Bernie Sanders. It should be a strong argument in September and October, especially the intended elimination of the oil, gas, and coal industries and their 7 million jobs, the destruction of the southern border wall the president has been building, the reopening of the United States to unlimited illegal entry, the enactment of a substantial part of Senator Elizabeth Warren’s infamous $52 trillion healthcare plan, sharp income tax increases and likely a wealth tax.
Important to note, too, is their intentional strangling of the American ethos of self-advancement through hard work and merit as well as their push for the destruction of independent schools in order to reinforce the monopoly of the strictly Democratic teachers’ unions. The hope of these Democrats is to impose more of the slothful philistinism and the largely anti-American current spirit of American schools and universities. Lazy and unpatriotic Americans tend to look toward Democrats for salvation.
Joe Biden is an implausible candidate; the Democratic Party has disgraced itself by its reliance on pestilence and racist mobs, and its platform consists of exploitation of public COVID-19 hysteria, the creation of lawless urban chaos while blaming it on Mr. Trump, a Marxist economic redistribution, and the embrace of unlimited undocumented immigration.
A Democratic Party victory would cripple the free market, strangle the American tradition of earned upward mobility, buy votes with unprecedented cynicism and extravagance, and entrench a regime of socialist wealth redistribution which has never attracted significant public support anywhere in the United States.
Only the dementia of fanatical Trump-haters and the almost airtight political bigotry of the national political media have permitted this levitation to continue as long as it has. It will not make it to Election Day.

Hammerskjoeld Simwinga2007 Goldman Prize, Africa
Mr. Hammerskjoeld (Hammer) Simwinga
2007 Africa
Hammer was born November 17, 1964 in Isoka in the Northern Province of Zambia. He is the oldest in a family of six. He is married to Queen Kasonde Chilufya and they have four children and also have raised two AIDS orphans. Hammer's father was a medical practitioner at Christian rural clinic ministries. Hammer was named for the first Secretary General of the United Nations, Mr. Dag Hammerskjoeld who died in an airplane crash near Hammer's village near the time of Hammer's birth.
Between 1986 and 1988 Hammer attended the Zambia College of Agriculture earning a Certificate in General Agriculture.
From 1988 to 1991Hammer earned a Certificate in Tropical Agriculture from the City and Guilds of London Institute, Lusaka (Zambia).
He then worked as Assistant Farm Manager at the Lukomba Farms between 1992 and 1994.
Hammer Simwinga
Coming to North Luangwa
Hearing of the rampant poaching of wildlife and the devastating affects of poaching on the people of North Luangwa, Hammer approached Dr. Delia and Mark Owens in 1994 for a position with their North Luangwa Conservation Project (NLCP) based in Mpika, Zambia. Hammer's background in agriculture made him perfect for the position of Agriculture Development Director for NLCP. Working with American volunteer, Alston Watt, Hammer took the Owenses' rural agriculture program to new heights by convincing farmers to embrace improved agriculture techniques to expand their crop variety (including protein rich legumes, cereals and tubers) and to enrich the soil (through green composting, organic pest control and such) and to protect the soil from erosion. All of these efforts lead to improved nutrition and income for the people.
Thanks to the combined efforts of the Owenses' NLCP: Agriculture, Small Business Development, Rural Health, Conservation Education, Wildlife Research and Ecological Monitoring, support for Anti-poaching and Tourism Development, the local people had improved quality of life and no longer had to poach or cooperate with commercial poachers in order to survive. Elephant poaching went from 1,000 a year in North Luangwa National Park (more than 100,000 elephants were killed in the Luangwa Valley between 1975 and 1990) to none found dead in 1994. Poaching of all kinds remains controlled and black rhinos have been reintroduced into NLNP by the Frankfurt Zoological Society and other funding organizations.
Hammer continues the success
When Delia and Mark returned to the US to live and work in 1997, Hammer and his coworker at NLCP established their own non-governmental organization, the North Luangwa Wildlife Conservation and Community Development Programme (NLWCCDP) to continue the Owenses' work. From the ground up they developed their organization and attracted funding from the US based Owens Foundation for Wildlife Conservation, UK based Harvest Help and they have recently received a substantial grant from the European Union. They have expanded their work from the original 14 villages to 65 rural communities with 35,000 people that now have assistance with improved agriculture, small business development, clean water and reforestation programs and improved education. Some of the programs of Hammer's organization beyond agriculture include: building schools, installing fish farms, beekeepers, sunflower oil pressmen, mercantile shop keepers and developing chili pepper cultivation for resale and to locate adjacent to fields to prevent crop raiding by the recovering elephant population – and much more.
Recognition and honors
Hammer and his work were included in the September 2005 edition of National Geographic and as an outgrowth of that article, Hammer was brought to the US to speak before a capacity crowd at the National Geographic Society Headquarters in Washington, DC. He is also featured in the Encyclopedia Britannica, in TIME magazine, The New York Times the Zambian Economist, Wikipedia and others. In 2008 Hammer was honored by the National Geographic Society with their Emerging Explorer Award. He has been featured on the BBC, on US National Public Radio and is also featured in an up coming documentary by John Antonelli of the Mill Valley Film Group, "Unfair Game: The Politics of Poaching" which will be released in late 2013. Hammer has received numerous invitations to speak at conferences and meetings all over the world.
Hammer receives the Goldman PrizeHammer was honored as a recipient of The Goldman Environmental Prize for Africa in 2007 which recognized his successful work to save wildlife by helping local villagers achieve improved quality of life so that they do not have to poach wildlife in order to survive. The Goldman Prize is the world's most prestigious environmental prize which each year recognizes one grassroots environmentalist from each of the six inhabited continents with a substantial cash award and promotes their work worldwide. As an outgrowth of the Goldman Prize, Hammer established a new NGO, The Foundation for Wildlife and Habitat Conservation – Zambia (FWHC) based in Mpika, Zambia in order to continue wildlife centered rural development work in remote areas of Northern Zambia. You can watch the Goldman vodeo covering Hammer's work by clicking on the link to their site.
In addition to his work with conservation and rural development, Hammer participates in the following:
Chairman for Mpika District Street Children Committee .
Chairperson for Planned Parenthood Association of Mpika District
Board member for Mpika Credit Union and Savings Association

Japan’s Doan savours answering Germans’ jibes
Japan’s Ritsu Doan celebrates after scoring their opening goal in the World Cup Group E football match against Germany at the Khalifa International Stadium in Doha, Qatar on Wednesday. Japan won 2-1.
DOHA, Qatar (AP):
Just wait, thought Ritsu Doan. Just wait.
The Japan midfielder, who plays for German club Freiburg, had to grit his teeth when he heard people saying his team would be an easy opponent for Germany at the World Cup.
"I listened to their talks with a fake smile on my face and in my heart," the 24-year-old Doan said Thursday after sparking a remarkable comeback and arguably the biggest result in Japan's World Cup history the night before.
After entering in the 71st minute, Doan only needed four minutes to cancel Ilkay Gundogan's first-half penalty with the equaliser, then he watched as fellow substitute Takuma Asano bagged the winner in the 83rd for Japan's 2-1 win.
"I thought it was the coolest thing I could do as a man to shut them up by winning, so I'm glad I won and so could do that," Doan said.
The surprise win over the four-time champions set off wild celebrations from the sizeable contingent of Japanese fans at the Khalifa International Stadium and prompted outpourings of joy from fans watching the goals on large screens at home.
"I think that the whole of Japan was very excited," Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida said. "I was able to watch the game on TV and it was a great victory."
Kishida paid tribute to the "team power, individual power and the direction of the coach".
Japan forward Daizen Maeda said it was "the happiest moment I have ever had in my football career".
While Japan celebrated what coach Hajime Moriyasu called "a historic moment, a historic victory" immediately after the game, the former midfielder struck a more cautious note the next day as he attempted to refocus them for the next match against Costa Rica on Sunday.
"I keep saying that we should not be too happy or sad about the results," the coach said Thursday. "The result against Germany is already in the past, so we will do our best to prepare ourselves to win the next match. We will do what we have always been doing and be ready for the next game."
Costa Rica's campaign at the World Cup started with a 7-0 thrashing from Spain.
Japan can theoretically even book their place in the second round with a win on Sunday, depending on a favour from Spain against Germany.
Japan are playing in their seventh straight World Cup and Moriyasu previously said they aim to reach the quarterfinals for the first time.
Even Doan has toned down his excitement as he looks forward to the challenges ahead.
"We haven't changed history yet, but I think it was a historic match, so I celebrated with all my teammates yesterday," Doan said. "But from today, I really changed my mind and am preparing for the Costa Rica game, so I will be careful not to be big-headed."

Clockwork Angels Tour Cellist Adele Stein Interviewed by The Salina Journal
Adele Stein is one of the members of the string ensemble that are accompanying Rush on their current Clockwork Angels Tour. The Salina Journal has posted an interview with Adele who is a native of the Kansas town.
In the interview, Adele discusses aspects about the string ensemble and getting to know the band. From the article:
"It's really an incredible experience," she said. "We sit behind the band on a riser. People will be able to see us very clearly."
Stein, who lives in Phoenix, is not old enough to have been into Rush in high school, having graduated South High in 2005.
"Men in their 40s and 50s go nuts over these guys," she said. "They have fans who fly from all over the world to see their first shows when they are on tour."
Stein first met the band after she arrived in Toronto on Aug. 26 for pre-tour rehearsals. She said the string players did a rendition of "Happy Birthday" for Lifeson, whose birthday fell during the early days of rehearsals. Stein said she walked past Lifeson and wished him happy birthday, and he thanked her by name.
"Some people I've worked with who are famous, like, they don't take the time to get to know your name," she said. "They (Rush members) are so humble and do not act famous at all."
Adele is one of eight members on the Clockwork Angels String Ensemble which is comprised of eight violinists and two cellists. For a complete list of each member, please see the Clockwork Angels Tour Book.

I guess the question I have is why would Detroit trade their top scoring dman? I know they are bad but they aren't exactly loaded on defense either.
I don't mind the idea of Green as he would address a few needs like a right shooting, PP guy that can play in your top 4. At 6 mill his contract isn't horrible and with only 1 yr left, you aren't stuck with him in case it doesn't go well. I just see them trading for a guy like that though prior to the expansion draft. Then you'd have to protect him.
http://www.wingingitinmotown.com/2017/1/8/14164374/detroit-r ed-wings-trade-bait-mike-green
Nothing concrete here, but it seems like the Detroit media has at least thought of the possibility. Article is a month old however, so may not be relevant anymore.
I didn't catch that Green has a NTC too, that could make it more difficult.
As for the XD, protecting 4-4 means the Oilers likely lose Maroon, but if it's a case of having that top-4 RHD PP D-man that they need, I think I'm ok with that trade off.
I see the Oilers making a play for a dman like a Green after the expansion draft. I see losing a guy like Maroon who can play up and down your lines, produce and the fact he is cheap as a big time loss for the Oilers. I also see them trading one of Nuge or Eberle as they have McDavid and Draisaitl to pay and I think those 2 make way too much for what they bring.
I could maybe see a trade of Green for Nuge +. I don't think Nuge has enough value to get Green straight up. They lost Datsyk, Zetterberg is getting long in the tooth so they could probably use some center help.
One year of Green for 4 years of Nuge with the + going on the Nuge side? Salaries are even, but I'm not sure that's equal value. I think Nuge should be worth more in spite of his lackluster season. Hard to say though.

Turris in the BOA will be like an ice cube in the Sahara.
I'd like to think Nuge is worth more too but is he? Take the fact that he was a #1 overall pick out because it doesn't matter anymore and judge the player on what he is now.
Nuge is a 6'0, 190lbs, soon to be 24 yr old center. He still struggles to win faceoffs, is at times decent defensively but I wouldn't call him great defensively. His career high is 56 pts. Last season in 55 games, he had 34 pts. That works out to be a 51 pt pace. This season in 55 games, he has 24 pts which is a 39 pt pace. I think this season is an especially bad season and ultimately, Nuge is a 50 pt player. But given his career numbers, I don't see a huge jump in points for Nuge much past 50.
So given all of that, he's ideally a second line center because I don't think he is big enough or scored enough to be a #1 center on a good team. Plus people need to understand that in a cap world, what a players contract is has value significant value. Gone are the days where teams like Detroit could spend whatever they wanted and could afford to have a guy making 1 or 2 mill than he should based on his position and what he brings. People freaked out about the Hall trade saying they didn't get enough asset wise. Well the secondary asset the Oilers got is they trimmed almost 2 mill off their cap and got a very good dman back who makes 4.2 mill. That's a cheap contract given what Larsson does and how good he is. As an example. Would anyone trade Petry for Larsson straight up today? Petry is having a good year this year offensively but he is typically real close to Larsson's numbers and Larsson gets zero PP time and Larsson is tougher, meaner and more physical. Petry makes 1.3 mill more than Larsson. I wouldn't trade Larsson for Petry ever.
The reality is, Nuge is probably making 1 mill too much for what he brings. The Wings have Frans Nielssen who's is similar to Nuge in being a 2 way, second line, 50 pt center. Nielsen is better on faceoffs and makes 750K less than Nuge and no way is Nuge a 750k better center.
McDavid97
I don't see us selling low on Eberle or Nuge. Nuge has been a lot better defensively playing against the top pairings of other teams.
This team needs RW's and if you are replacing Eberle you need at least 2 then.
As for Nuge, then which center is going up harder competition Mcdavid or Drai? Also it's nice have the two of them together with the chemistry. If we had a shut down center that came back okay but I still think we need to find another center as it is because if one of them goes down I don't want Letesu or Drake being the 2nd line center.

It's funny to see the asking prices for Landeskog and Duchene and then hear the rumors about the return for Nuge and Ebs. The Oilers for once should be playing hardball. Asset management hasn't been great even with Chiarelli but I can't complain seeing the standings.

Suspect it'd cost more than that. Likely our first rounder would need to be in play too. Maybe I undervalue Ebs, but I can't see him and Davidson getting it done. I know if I was Sakic there's no way in hell I trade my best player for Eberle and Davidson.
Mon, 13 February 2017 08:59
Are you guys doing trades on EA NHL17? I don't think Sakic is a very good GM but Eberle and Davidson for Duchene? I would wonder if Sakic is even able to say no or is he laughing too hard.
I don't want to come off as crapping on Eberle because I am not. My comment is based on how I see other GM's looking at Eberle as a player. When he's on, Eberle is a productive offensive winger. He's got a good hockey mind, creative, very accurate shot, capable of close to 30 goals and 60+ pts. In today's NHL, that's damn good. But he also can be a streaky offensive player who is suspect defensively, small, not hard to play against, at times his compete level isn't there and he makes 6 mill. If he's making 5 mill, you probably don't care as much but at 6 mill, you need him to show up more than he does. On top of that, Eberle is having a lousy year offensively. In Davidson. I like Davidson but he's currently a 5-6 dman who doesn't have a lot of experience, is a defensive dman and projects to be at best a #4.
Duchene typically puts up as many pts and goals as Eberle. He's a better skater than Eberle, he's a little more competitive than Eberle and he's a center. Maybe Nuge and Davidson as a starting point gets Sakic at least willing to talk for a few mins.

Lots of names to discuss, but all are guys vulnerable to being exposed to Vegas and/or pending UFAs... and all are guys who could potentially bolster and improve the Oilers given the right price point, cost, and position in the lineup.

I like to have a No 2 goaltender with experience I would look at what is the price for Ben Bishop and Brian Boyle 2 UFA.
I like Martin Hanzal but he has a history of being injured pretty often that is why I prefer Brian Boyle as 3C.
We need a RD no matter what and only 2 fits the bill and it will be either Cody Franson or Kevin Shattenkirk. Probably easier to get Franson, UFA at the end of the season, then depending on his performance you resign him or not but eventually we will need to find the PP/QB RD. What it bring us is a more balance core defensemen and you push Russell back on his natural left side.
RW well I would like to get Thomas Vanek, not too old and still producing at a very decent rate.
So I order to accomplish these trades you have: RNH, Davidson, extra picks and or guys in the minors. that would solidify the team for a nice playoff push.
rrathel716 wrote on Tue, 14 February 2017 09:22
I'm fine with most of your targets, but as for what you're willing to pay for them?
No. Simply, no. Not Nugent-Hopkins, and unlikely even Davidson. Not for rentals.
If you're gearing up for the playoffs, Nugent-Hopkins isn't your trade bait. Draft picks, prospects and guys at the fringe of your roster are what you deal when you are loading up to make a run...not key pieces of your team, and even at a lower offensive rate than what he's historically produced, Nugent-Hopkins is still a key piece.
You also don't deal key players for UFAs-to-be. The reason that the bulk of the people you mention are available is because their teams are faced with the possibility of losing the player for nothing in a short time - a very short time for those not in playoff positions. To give up an impact player with years left on their deal...well, no one does that. Not even the top rental players garner that kind of a return, so if the Oilers were to do it? It would be first class idiocy.
I wonder if the Oilers are going to target Lazar for some secondary scoring.
Dreger now says he's available and might make a trade request this weekend through the agent. He said the asking price is high, some speculating a 1st or 2nd. Some say less. So if we can get him for a 3rd rounder I would be all for it.
He does have a lack of points but he isn't being utilized there and that's why he's probably going to ask for a trade.

McDavid97 wrote on Wed, 15 February 2017 16:16
I don't doubt that Ottawa in a place where they want to move him, as he'll be vulnerable to the expansion draft (although unless they figure out a way to protect both Methot and Ceci, it seems likely one of those two will be the guy claimed from Ottawa).
What I do question is if he'll actually add any secondary scoring. To this point in his career, there's nothing to suggest that would be the case. 1 point in 29 games this year (his third). Previous point totals of 15 and 20.
In fact, I'm having a hard time thinking who he would be a significant upgrade on for the Oilers. Lander, sure. Pakarinen, likely. Hendricks, probably. I'm thinking that probably Caggiula and Slepyshev are better prospects at this point, and if he weren't an previous Oil King, there wouldn't even be much thought being entertained.
I actually think Lazar seems like an awesome kid, but as far as a guy who can help the Oilers in any way? I just don't see it.
All your Oil Kings are belong to us
The more I think about it, the more I am convinced that the defensive target for the Oilers should be Cody Franson. Right-handed, second-pairing defenseman who can play the PP, and has put up points in the past. In his prime. Expiring contract, meaning you don't have to protect him against Vegas, but he's yours to sign after expansion if you can't land a deal for another guy.
He makes Kris Russell completely expendable, and to be honest, I'd probably try and move Russell back as part of that deal. I wouldn't think that Franson will require a huge king's ransom, certainly not a Shattenkirk-bounty.
Another name that I think is worth considering: Ales Hemsky. I know, I know... he hasn't played all year (which is why he'll come cheap). But Ruff says to expect him back before the end of the year, and if Dallas doesn't look like they'll be in the playoff, they'll likely be shipping him for pennies on the dollar.
There will be an initial period of rust, but the Oilers are likely in a place where they won't be fighting for a playoff spot. If Hemsky could get his game back by the time the playoffs rolled around, he would provide some awful nice secondary scoring on the second or third line, and bump Kassian back to the fourth line (and Pakarinen or Hendricks to the PB). I think the price will be right on Hemmer, and the Oilers are back in a place where they could use him.

Cody Franson is not a top 4 dman. He is a 5-6 dman. He does not play those top 4 minutes in Buffalo, nor would he here if we traded for him. Yes he is a RD and would be a good target for the 3rd pairing & try his shot out on the PP, but not a top 4 at all.
As far as trading Kris Russell for him that is a terrible idea. We are heading to the playoffs most likely. You don't trade away players that play an important role on your team and upset the chemistry...you add pieces so you can build depth and withstand injuries better!!! Russell is our #4 dman right now. Like it or not he is and is playing well most nights. He has made Sekera better and helped make the D-Core a calmer one for sure.
We don't trade away current decent assets at the trade deadline unless it is a blockbuster type deal & those are rare at the deadline now because of the cap restraints.
Jakey wrote on Thu, 16 February 2017 07:25
I would be interested in Franson and Hemsky as deadline pick-ups, but no roster players or high level prospects would be going back. Would be talking 3rd round pick at best and/or B level prospects. Depth is never a bad thing. I'm not usually for the "feel good" type player moves, but it would be pretty cool if someone from the 06' team was here for the Oilers next playoff game.
jds308 wrote on Thu, 16 February 2017 14:51
I think it's important to remember the roster limit comes off after the trade deadline, so we can have a Kris Russell sitting if we don't have a roster spot for him. Not trading him means that if we're hit by a rash of injuries, it's not Dillon Simpson coming in to that spot.
That said, there may be situations where you need to move a roster player - remember, it was UFA-to-be Marty Reasoner that was moved for Sergei Samsonov in 2006. If someone insists on getting a body back, or there is a requirement to move money out, Russell isn't a player I'm fighting very hard to keep.
Adam wrote on Thu, 16 February 2017 13:54
But would you move Russell for Franson, knowing you're about to head into the playoffs? I mean I can't think of a reason why Buffalo would want Russell back in that deal, but for the sake of discussion I wouldn't do that trade. Not because I'm a Russell fan boy, it's more because I think Russell is the type of player you will be glad to have in the playoffs. If a roster player needs to move in that kind of a deal I would be looking at Pouliot (I know, unlikely) or Gryba, or a bubble guy like Khaira or Osterle.
Yes, I'd move Russell for Franson in a heartbeat. Franson brings a big shot and I believe he's a righty too. He can jump in to our power play and provide something we don't have. Russell - well, I'm not a believer. I think he's a good penalty killer and not much else.
Fair points about Franson, but I think you would be maybe filling a need while creating another. Russell blocks a metric ton of shots. In the playoffs that's even more valuable, and Russell is arguably one of the best in the biz. Franson, while he definitely has a skill we're short on I don't know if he's at the top of his craft to the same extent Russell is at his. Perhaps I'm putting far to much weight on shot blocking, it's very possible. I just get flashes of 2006 Horcoff blocking a shot with his face saving a sure goal.
I see Russell as creating a lot of opportunities for shot blocks. He can't make a pass, so he's constantly surrendering possession, and he surrenders the blue line like no one else. I think shot blocking is courageous and a good skill to have, but I think someone who's always blocking is usually doing it because the other team always has the puck.
Remember Grant Ledyard? That was always CONSTANTLY talked about with him, but in hindsight, maybe he wasn't good at advancing the puck or keeping it out of the hands of opposing shooters? Certainly, for all the talk about his flattened shin pads, this is my enduring memory of him:
Fri, 17 February 2017 11:16
Very true about Russell, and he provides no offense. So in evaluating Russell you could frame it in a way where he's not killing you, but not really winning any games when you factor in what he's giving up. More or less an even player. I haven't seen much of Franson recently, and I get that his offensive numbers are going to be down due to the crap team he plays on. I still wonder if the good he brings would out weight the bad? From what I understand his defensive play isn't great. Maybe he helps more than he hurts, or maybe it's a wash somewhat like Russell. If that's the case I think I stay with the devil I know.

I am curious what you see in Franson that would have you make this trade "in a heartbeat"?
You mention his heavy shot. I dont remember hearing or seeing him have much more than your regular D man shot in the time I saw him play quite a bit for TO.
He is right handed so does have that going for him.
I also remember him being a nightmare in his own end. The opposite of puck moving.
His 16 points this year would put him behind Kelfbom and Sekera, 2 points ahead of Larsson, who's biggest knock was lack of offence. This puts him around 75th ish for defenceman.
I think he has 2 power play points this year one goal, one assist
I dont know anything about his advanced metrics and didnt look them up as that is not a strong suit of Russell's either but I just dont see what Franson brings that we dont already have.

Important to remember where he's playing. There's only one first unit powerplay option available on a team, and Franson plays on a team with Ristolainen - another right shooting defenceman who currently has 34 points this season. He's not a first unit guy on Buffalo.
Here's an article on his shot:
http://news.nationalpost.com/sports/nhl/explaining-leafs-def enceman-cody-fransons-superb-shot
Not a Weber bomb, but he gets it off quick and he's accurate. And as a right shot guy, he'd have a lot of opportunity here.
I'd rather have Ristolainen, but he's not getting traded. I'd prefer Shattenkirk too, but that might cost a lot more.
I think Nurse returning to the lineup can replace everything Russell brings and more, but Franson would offer something different to the team that it doesn't already have.
Good article about his shot. Thanks for that. I think I have mentioned in the past that my son is a Leafs fan so I watched him play a decent amount back then and cant say I ever noticed his shot as real good or real bad.
In another thread I said I guess it comes down to opinion and I cant say I know for a fact mine is right but I dont see a Russell for Franson trade as solving any problems. Adding to Russell would be needed and I dont think I would be willing to add a pick to hip that Franson would be good.
As far as the PP side of things you right, he isnt the first option there but he averages 18:50 in ice time with 1:35 of that being the average PP time. 2 points in roughly 75 mins of PP time this year is atrocious.
When he was in TO he was an average at best PP option as well and one of things talked about then was how they needed a RH PP option on the point as Franson wasnt getting it done. It is a bet that is impossible to measure but I would guess that if Franson was an Oiler at any point he would a favorite whipping boy here, in the media and anywhere else talking about the team very very quickly.
The idea is to explore and see if we can balance LD and RD before the playoffs. My 3rd pairing would be Darnell Nurse and Matt Benning. Gryba is no 7. Russell and is LD not RD and Sekera is a LD too. Look Russell has 5pts this year, yes he blocks shots but he is not overly big this is were Franson comes in, he is a RD with decent skating, has a nice shot from the point so could have some PP time to see, he is physical and make 3.3M and is UFA. The balance between LD and RD is very important, it is way easier for a natural RD to play RD that a LD to play RD.
If dealing Davidson and Russell bring you a more balance club than keeping them so be it and do it, this year is an anomaly cause of the expansion. If I am the Oilers I would prefer to expose Pouliot, Fayne, and short change to Las Vegas so they could get rid of us of Pouliot and 4M that will replace by Caggiula. That's the big picture save 10M with RNH and Pouliot and keep some of that money for McJesus then if Puljujarvi is ready next year then Eberle is gone for whatever we need of a package of prospect and picks. A PP/QB would be nice but what would be the price? Can we afford it?
Perhaps I should clarify my position on how I think the Oilers should approach the trade deadline this year. I think they need to position themselves to give the best chance in the playoffs, without sacrificing a lot of the future... this is after all, the beginning of a new era (figures crossed).
So to me, that means a few things:
1) There are areas of weakness: 2/3 RW, offensive RH defenseman, potentially 3C, backup goalie. The Oilers should be actively looking to improve those areas for the stretch.
2) You don't want to give up important pieces for the future to acquire those players. 1st overall picks end the discussion. I'd argue that Brandon Davidson also falls into this category, and shouldn't be moved without a very good reason. The window is just opening, so don't move pieces you will need in future years. You move mid-draft picks, and prospects you are unsure you'll sign at the end of their deal (Musil, Laleggia, Yakimov, Platzer, Chase, perhaps Rinehart in the right deal).
3) You don't want to take on term. Until June, you want expiring contracts and rentals.
4) You aren't necessarily looking for the homerun. I think Shattenkirk would probably be foolish, as he is going to cost a fortune. There's rumours the Coyotes want a first for Hanzal.. again, that doesn't make sense. You want to find the best bargain you can. A guy like Hemsky very likely will fit this criteria: cheap to acquire, makes the Oilers immediately better, not the flashiest name on the market.
5) Finally, you don't really want to take on cap. Even though the roster number is no longer an issue, the cap for next year is a real issue. The Oilers are going to exceed the cap once bonuses kick in, and that will be added to next year. I don't think that should prevent the Oilers from looking to acquire a guy - you're in the playoffs, and anything can happen... go for it! - but it MAY mean that they insist on sending out a guy in return to offset the salary. This makes sense IF the guy coming back is a better player or fill a more pressing need. The Oilers would be sending a 'real' asset back along with an expiring contract, and the team they are trading with would be trading for the 'real' asset. Of course, these trades only makes sense for players on expiring contracts who are expendable for better players... in other words, Hendricks, Russell, Gustavsson, and Gryba. Not players with term, like Pouliot or Fayne.
Example: Hemsky for Hendricks + Musil + 6th. Edmonton takes on less salary, trade becomes Hemsky for Musil + 6th.
Example: Franson for Russell + 3rd. Salaries wash out, trade basically becomes Franson for a third. Oilers get a RHD on an expiring contract and don't add to the cap penalty next year.
In the above examples, even though you are moving out a roster player, I think Hemsky + Franson improve the club more than Hendricks + Russell (though I know there will be some who believe in Russell over Franson. Fair enough). I'm not sure the Oilers are in a position cap-wise to be taking on 'depth' and NOT move an expiring contract out in these deals. It would just be making life harder for next year.
With Nurse coming back, I actually think the Oilers are deep at defense than any other position: Larsson, Klefbom, Sekera, Russell, Nurse, Benning, Davidson, Oesterle, Gryba. The big thing here is that only three of the nine are right shots, and none particularly look like the second unit PP defenseman.
Anyways, that's my thought process.
We clearly see differently on Franson, Russell and who is better but that's cool. I don't think either is great so we can agree to disagree there but what does your proposed trade have to do with the cap penalty next year? Russell is also on an expiring contract so whether we have him in the lineup or a different rental the effect on next years cap is the same I think
Right. I just meant if we traded for Franson and DIDN'T move anyone else, we're adding Franson's contract and pushing us higher in the bonus cushion cap overage (tacked on to next year). If we move someone out with Franson coming in (say, Russell since they're the same cap) , it's the same as if we didn't move anyone at all; we're in the same spot as standing still, flipping one for the other. What I was trying to get at is that is my reason for thinking while the Oilers should try to make moves to improve, they'll likely have to move out some current expiring deals if they do to make sure they don't go way over the cap limit and hamper themselves moving forward next year.
I think we're on the same page, but I probably just worded it poorly.

Ahh gotcha, it's about saving some space this year so we have less carry over. That makes total sense now.

It doesn't help on D, but was a good conversation with some fellow oilfans the other day:
Eberle for Halak (NYI eats salary), then trade for two of Boyle / Iggy / Sharp, and see what we have.
Ebs salary = German Gretzky's extension.
Talbot / Halak tandem for another season while Brossoit continues to develop
Two veterans to pepper into the lineup and get ready for a run.
Again, just conversation but it does make sense. I'm a big Ebs fan and know the deal isn't great player for player, but look at the Larsson deal, sometimes you also trade for cap space & need.

Think Nuge goes first if we're looking for cap space. Ebs at least has the potential to light the lamp when he's on his game. I think he will have a big bounce back season next year and we're missing out if we trade him. Nuge...keep getting the feeling we've seen the height of his abilities. He might be able to change to the wing to get more offensive pop out of him, but he's not gonna be a better winger than Eberle.
I would like to go 1 more year with Ebs and Nuge to really see what we have with them. Hope McLellan starts trying Nuge at wing so we do get the chance to see if he has any hope left to have a top end offensive game. Getting rid of Poo would open enough space to extend Drai, then we get into the tough situation opening space for McDavid after next season. Fortunately Fayne and the 1M for the Korpse buyout are off the books then.

The $3.5 mill or so we have as cap hit for Ference disappears after this season, so that will cover Draisaitl's cap hit. We only have to make space for McDavid's... Pouliot and Fayne either traded, bought out or expansion drafted takes care of most of that. We just need to cover Nurse's resigning (next year or year after?). So we're not in bad shape at all, I think.

I'm 97% sure Ference's cap hit is covered by being on the long term injured list.
CrusaderPi wrote on Sun, 19 February 2017 13:16
I don't think him being on LTIR actually helps us when we have bonuses to pay. You only actually use LTIR space if you're maxing out your cap and need to go over. But, if you're maxing out, that's a horrible situation to be in if you have bonuses to pay because you need free cap space at the end of the year to avoid overage penalties. We can't mess around being near the cap still next year because McDavid is going to get another ~3M of bonuses for sure, and Pulju might be looking at bonuses too if he can make the jump to the NHL. Gotta stay 4-5M under the cap if we want to avoid overage at the end of next season. Again, that's a situation where LTIR has no benefit. At the end of the year when the bonuses are known, they are added to all cap hits including Ference's to see if we exceeded the limit and have a penalty for the next season.
https://www.capfriendly.com/ltir-faq
When a player has an injury of which they are expected to miss 10 games and 24 days, the team can place them on long term injured reserve (LTIR) to receive cap relief.
When a player is placed on LTIR, their cap hit technically remains on the teams cap payroll and it continues to count as it always did. It also does not provide the club with additional cap-space savings that can be banked for future use while the team operates below the salary cap. Instead, LTIR provides relief if the club's averaged club salary, or payroll, begins to exceed the upper limit. The amount of relief that the club receives is calculated on the day the player is placed on LTIR. There are two formulas that are used to determine the LTIR relief, the first formula, the basic formula, can be used during the season and during the off-season. The second formula, the training-camp formula, can be used during the off-season.
Interesting. Thanks Kr, I stand corrected and retract my comment.

Hanging on to Ebs hoping for more is a fools game, he's 27 in 3 short months and is well on the wrong side of where an offensive player peaks. We should move him if we can get a reasonable return that helps the team in an area of need.
Renaissance 2015
Not sure Ebs goes first. What is easier to find a 3C or a 1RW.
My bet would go on RNH to go first let's say that you can get Brian Boyle at 2M and get rid of RNH at 6M so you save 4M that you can add for Draisaitl new contract so that should equals what you need salary wise to resign your player without sacrificing the team structure and get a decent 3C cheap for a little while until some of your own picks could replace him. The year after you use Eberle to do the same thing with McDavid but you replace him internally with Puljujarvi on ELS so you save lots of monay to reinvest in your star player. The return on Eberle is prospect and picks.

WW2 Japanese Bicycle Infantry
Average Height 23.5 mm (= 1.7 m)
Whilst all armies have to contend with the problems of transportation when on campaign, those facing the Japanese in World War II were particularly daunting. In China the issue was the vast area of combat with often difficult terrain, while in the Pacific War the troops were scattered over numerous countries and islands, frequently thickly covered with vegetation that also made transport very difficult. Coupled with a severe shortage of transportation, the Japanese were particularly known for their use of bicycles (generally stolen from the local population) of which the campaign in Malaya in 1942 is perhaps the best example. However in the jungle the use of bicycles could have many advantages, moving much quicker than mechanical transport, and bicycle troops were often in the vanguard of attacks.
The set invokes images of jungle warfare in particular because all the men wear tropical uniform, which is to say a shirt (but no tunic), trousers and puttees. Two of the men wear the peaked field cap, one of which has a very peculiar sort of part neck shield which is two very long strips that don't even meet at the back and is nothing like the actual item. The remaining two men wear what could either be helmets or sun hats - both are authentic. All have waist belts with a single ammunition pouch on the front and the reserve pouch in the small of the back. They also have haversacks, canteens and possibly some other item - the sculpting is not nearly precise enough to make any certain identification. Apart from the odd neck curtain, however, all the uniform and kit here is accurate.
Troops moved rapidly on bicycles but of course did not actually fight on them, so all the poses are simply on the move (i.e. no one has a foot down). There is really not much variety you could bring to such poses, and here we have men holding one or both handlebars and either looking to the front or to one side. Having a stopped pose might have been worthwhile, or perhaps one walking with his cycle, but although there are just four poses they pretty much deliver most of what you could want from such figures. The variety lies in the clothing as already mentioned, and in the weapons, in that three have rifles on their back and the fourth is carrying a Type 96 light machine gun, although strangely this has a magazine actually inserted, making it heavier and more awkward than necessary.
Perhaps the weakness of this set is that it is made in quite a soft and malleable plastic, yet requires a good deal of assembly. Many of the men’s arms are separate, as are the handlebars of the bikes, and we found it quite a challenge to put everything together such that it all matched up correctly. It can be done, but the soft plastic makes it a difficult task. The general sculpting is pretty good although the detail is not particularly sharp, but the proportions are fine and there is no flash.
As we have said, the bikes could come from any source and the Japanese were famously little concerned about neat appearance, so the mix of panniers and kit attached to the bikes is pleasing. One curiosity is that all the bikes have their drivetrains on the left side rather than the more usual right. These are decent figures, and an interesting element of the Imperial Japanese Army not previously modelled in plastic, but the nature of the poses has meant they have to be multi-part, so be prepared for some very fiddly assembly before they can cycle off to the front.

U.S.A.: Hillary Clinton’s Race Problem
Posted on Thursday, May 19 @ 13:36:38 UTC by admin
By Eric Draitser
May 19, 2016 - stopimperialism.org
When Hillary Clinton was endorsed by Will Quigg, a grand dragon of the Ku Klux Klan in California, many observers were skeptical that the statement of support for the presumptive Democratic nominee was genuine. Indeed, some went so far as to argue that the very public backing of Clinton by a white supremacist of Quigg’s standing was a diversionary tactic designed to either smear Clinton or distract attention from former grand wizard David Duke’s endorsement of Donald Trump, which the presumptive Republican nominee failed to disavow. Regardless of whether the support of Clinton was genuine or not, the fact of the matter is that Clinton policies have indeed been unconscionably destructive for Black Americans, and other people of color.
Hillary Clinton was a vocal advocate of her husband’s infamous 1994 Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act (aka the “Crime Bill”) which disproportionately targeted people of color and led to the rise of the phenomenon that has come to be known as mass incarceration or, as Michelle Alexander famously dubbed it, “The New Jim Crow.” As Alexander noted in The Nation in February 2016, the Clintons and their odious Crime Bill are responsible for:
the largest increase in federal and state prison inmates of any president in American history
the 100-to-1 sentencing disparity for crack versus powder cocaine, which produced staggering racial injustice in sentencing and boosted funding for drug-law enforcement.
the idea of a federal “three strikes” law
a $30 billion crime bill that created dozens of new federal capital crimes,
the mandating of life sentences for some three-time offenders
authorizing more than $16 billion for state prison grants and the expansion of police forces
African Americans constituting 80 to 90 percent of all drug offenders sent to prison, even though they’re no more likely than whites to use or sell illegal drugs.
A 50% increase in African American incarceration by the year 2000
At the time, Hillary was traveling the country lauding the new bill as a critical piece of legislation to combat the “crime epidemic” and make America safe for middle class whites. In a blatant display of the sort of racism and white supremacy that could certainly endear her to klansmen like Quigg, Clinton referred to young black males targeted by the Crime Bill as “superpredators,” at once dehumanizing a segment of the population disproportionately impacted by Clinton’s crime policies while also justifying the obviously racist nature of the bill itself.
And while Hillary Clinton can whitewash her record (and that of her husband) when it comes to issues of race and injustice, the inescapable fact is that the “liberal” Clinton presided over the expansion of the for-profit prison industry, the construction of the mass incarceration state, the explosion of life sentences for drug offenders, the expansion of the death penalty, and countless other socially destructive phenomena that continue to ravage Black America to this day.
But beyond the viciously racist crime policies of the Clinton era, Hillary has also scapegoated Black America and other minorities, as well as the working class in general, for the economic crisis precipitated by Wall Street greed. Who could forget Hillary all but of wrongdoing by blaming homeowners “getting in over their heads” when it came to the subprime mortgage market?
It is a well-known fact, documented by mountains of research, that lending practices by Wall Street banks – the same banks who paid Hillary Clinton massive speaking fees – were often racist in nature, and deliberately targeted Black and Latino Americans in a variety of ways. As the New York Times noted in a penetrating 2009 exposé about racist lending practices in New York and the devastating impacts on minority communities, the authors explained that, “Black buyers often enter a separate lending universe: A dozen banks and mortgage companies, almost all of which turned big profits making subprime loans, accounted for half the loans given to the region’s black middle-income borrowers in 2005 and 2006…The N.A.A.C.P. has filed a class-action suit against many of the nation’s largest banks, charging that such lending practices amount to reverse redlining.”
And who was the senator in New York at the time? Mrs. Clinton. And who was taking massive campaign donations and speaking fees from the very same institutions? Mrs. Clinton. One senses a pattern.
And of course who could forget the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) which devastated the once vibrant and productive Mexican agriculture sector, forcing Mexican small farmers off their land and into the United States in search of work just to feed their families? The scourge of “free trade,” proselytized by the Wall Street darling Hillary Clinton, is the central factor driving the migration to the United States, and all the attendant white supremacy and nativism spawned by it.
The narrative of this presidential campaign is being written in the media and on the streets, with Donald Trump being portrayed as a bigot for his overtly racist rhetoric on a number of key issues, particularly immigration. Even Hillary Clinton has gotten in on the act by implying Trump is a racist on numerous occasions. And while that may be true, Clinton is herself perhaps one of the most politically successful racists in American politics in the last half century. Perhaps then it makes sense that Hillary Clinton was a “Goldwater Girl” – a backer of 1964 presidential candidate Barry Goldwater who stood in firm opposition to Martin Luther King and the Civil Rights Act.
Indeed, Hillary’s racism might be more coded than Trump’s. It might sound softer and be veiled in politically palatable language. But it is perhaps even more vicious because, unlike Trump, Clinton might just be able to get away with it.

Tag: Bone Chillers
Frankenturkey (Betsy Haynes)
Betsy Haynes | November 1, 1994 | 134 pages
Ah, the mid ’90s. Goosebumps was king — just ask any kid on the playground back then. Pretty soon you had clones appearing left and right. Whether it was J.R. Black’s Shadow Zone or Tom B. Stone’s Graveyard School series, everyone wanted a piece of the pie. Although I enjoyed those series, I always had a thing for Betsy Haynes’ Bone Chillers. I found them to be well written and fun. The first one I ever read was #4 in the series: Frankenturkey. Now, with a cheesy name like that, akin to something you might find on a trashy horror VHS box back in the ’80s, how can you not instantly be intrigued? Seeing as how I am writing this just after midnight on Thanksgiving morning, there’s no better time than now to revisit this relic.
I love all the cheesy captions and blurbs
Kyle and Annie Duggan are uprooted from Florida as their family relocates to Massachusetts. Kyle had it made in Florida. He resented the move but what could he do? As was often times the case with these middle grade horror books, it begins with the main character relocating to a new town. And that’s when trouble stirs…
WHO’S THE COPYCATBIRD NOW?
Even without the internet (readily available) back in 1994, we all knew that Bone Chillers was yet another in a long line of Goosebumps knockoffs. Now that doesn’t automatically mean it’s not any good — Bone Chillers was actually quite a fun series — but there’s no denying where the inspiration came from. However, as that old saying goes, “what’s good for the goose is good for the gander.” R.L. Stine might have drawn some inspiration from Frankenturkey when Chicken Chicken was published in March of 1997. But whereas Frankenturkey is one of the highlights of the Bone Chillers series, Chicken Chicken is, quite frankly, chicken shit. Easily one of the bottom 10 Goosebumps stories. Go figure. But I digress.
GOBBLE GOBBLE
Not only did the Duggans move to a new house, but it’s a farmhouse. Already we’ve established a good setting with lots of creepy potential. By the way, I’ve always been a big fan of the font that this series used.
Back in the ’90s, many parents in middle grade fiction were written to be a bit dopey, especially for middle grade horror. And Mr. and Mrs. Duggan are the epitome of such. Not only do they want their kids to raise a turkey (fattening it up before killing and eating it for Thanksgiving dinner), but they want the turkey to be the star in their school play, which Mrs. Duggan directs. And they genuinely believe all this to be good ideas. Oh dear…
“C’mon tough guy! HOOOO!”
Annie was a cute little sister. Her line of “You mean he’s from Florida?” after Kyle says “Maybe he’s like us” gave me a good grin. Spoken just like a kid! I also like how Kyle made a connection with the turkey he wanted to purchase. It shows the reader that he’s compassionate and empathetic.
The line to end this particular chapter actually gave me a bit of the willies. “The little turkey was pressed against the chicken wire, and he was staring longingly back at Kyle.” Not bad, Ms. Betsy Haynes. Not bad at all. You know at some point the turkey is going to go bonkers. It’s just a matter of when and how…
Jeez, Mr. Duggan. Lay off the theatrics a bit, will ya? But it does make for some good visual scenes!
We didn’t read middle grade horror back in the mid ’90s for their expertly crafted prose, but DAMN if every once in a while there wasn’t a solid gem produced here and there. The above paragraph is one example of such. I can picture it super vividly and there’s something satisfying about the way it was worded.
The last line there is so impactful! You can’t help but like Kyle and feel for him as he’s caught in quite the pickle.
What a perfectly dramatic way to conclude this chapter and introduce the terror that is… FRANKENTURKEY! So we come to find out, the kids grow so attached to their turkey that they decided to fashion a crude bogus replacement, using a frozen whole turkey purchased from their local grocery store, some coat wires and Kyle’s Halloween mask from last month. Lightning strikes the abomination and the rest is history. What befalls the poor Duggans next you’ll just have to read to find out!
Apparently, it was so popular that it received a sequel the following year. And of the 23 Bone Chillers books, Frankenturkey was the only entry to receive a sequel. We’ll have to examine part II next Thanksgiving, won’t we?
Bone Chillers has a special place in my heart. It was just so incredibly ’90s. The embossed cover, the alternating color schemes used from month to month, and that sinister entity tearing up the page of each cover to reveal the monster of the month — all gloriously embossed in classic ’90s fashion. I haven’t read as many of the 23 entries as I’d like, but so far Frankenturkey definitely ranks right up there as one of my BC favorites. The book has held up pretty well. Sure it’s cheesy as all hell and there are tropes a-plenty, but this is comfort food 101. Reading it brings me back to a simpler time when life was all about hanging out with your best bud playing video games and reading the latest monthly monster mashup. Those were some damn good times. And this is one fun relic I will definitely be passing on to my future kid!

Hey, Play That Sad Walking Away Music From The Incredible Hulk…
“I would not live forever, because we should not live forever, because if we were supposed to live forever, then we would live forever, but we cannot live forever, which is why I would not live forever.”
Miss Alabama, Miss USA Contest, 1994
Which I think is a pretty silly way to say that I’m off. I couldn’t go on, even if I wanted to. And I’m pretty sure I don’t. I’ve been privy to well over a million words in this magazine in 2006 – some of them pure gold, and some of them a little bit more bronze-like. It’s now been over 120 issues since I contributed my very first review to the music pages of Salient in 2002. It will feel a lot stranger to walk out of this office for the last time than it did to graduate. It’s time to leave. I’ve worked all the 60-hour weeks, and eaten all the different varieties of cup noodles I think I can handle for the time being. The office is a tip. I’m exhausted.
It’s been awesome. We had no big injunction this year. No general election. We still managed to force our way into the news for being poor race-relations models, and sexist swine. The Union pulled lawyers on us. VUWSA got upset at us. Pat Walsh sought to ‘distance’ himself from us. More students voted in this week’s final of Academic Idol than the VUWSA election. Crazed students yelled at VUWSA. Crazed VUWSA exec members yelled back. Crazed students sued the library for kidnapping. We covered issues in depth such as antidepressants, the housing situation, NCEA, crime, the body, creationism, the ethics of commerce students, the University and VUWSA, an anti-Americanism (and a whole pile more). We spoke to Duncan Sarkies, Charlotte Yates, Marion Hobbs, the Living End, Michael Smither, DJ Spooky, WCW wrestlers, Robert Fisk, Carl Shuker, Dylan Moran, So So Modern, Morningwood, Ben Crellin, Rhys Darby, Deja Voodoo, Alain De Botton, John Key, Imon Starr, Alick Shaw, Russell Norman, Dylan Horrocks, Mia Blake, Dimmer, The Mint Chicks, Taika Cohen, The Black Seeds, and Wayne Mapp.
All of this made the million or so words we brought to you as interesting to make as I hope it was to read. And with a million words produced comes about as many thank-yous.
Salient, like any good NBA team (the Scorpions maybe? Nah. Too naff) centres around the starting squad.
Ben Fraser, our designer took the utmost precision and care in everything this year. Achingly precise, there were many hours of painstaking care taken over things that you didn’t really notice. Who really saw that the cover model of issue 8’s heels reflect onto the black background to make it appear three-dimensional? No-one, I’d imagine. But I noticed, and it was the sort of care and dedication that bought the magazine up several notches of class each week. We also managed to spend a sickening amount of hours together each week for a whole year, no mean feat when you didn’t know each other at the start. Ben’s success as a designer and as an awesome human being provided a cornerstone for the magazine that we couldn’t have done without.
Nicola Kean was the other member of the 6am Friday Club, and the only woman who worked out of the office, which she would have probably regretted often as midnight rolled around on Thursdays and pizza began to be digested. She gave us a lot of material to rib her with, but gave as good as she got. Which is a lot, considering her penchant for public vomiting. She did a great job, hell, screw that, an amazing one. No matter how long she had to wait, she’d always be here to see news laid up, and always managed to laugh when things got tiring. Her team of volunteers – Laura McQuillan, Matt Jones (the most put upon volunteer in student media), Claire McEntee, and Seonah Choi (among others) helped Nicola keep ‘the man’ honest and all did a fantastic job. I’ll cherish all of the three times we managed to make Matt smile.
Nicholas Holm and Brannavan Gnanalingam gave this magazine a backbone week in, week out. Both tutored, and studied on top of putting in well above their weekly allocation of paid hours at Salient, and somehow had girlfriends at the same time. Nick arrived in the mail from Chaff and was always willing for us to make him feel like the token office fascist. He soon honed the ability to piss off both sides of every story with an ornate ability to sit square on the fence, but then when called upon to rant, boy could he do so. The funniest man in student media, and that’s a proven fact.
Brannavan has a name that is hard to spell at 4am, but despite the curious guesswork of the Listener, it is not a pseudonym. Brannavan helped crank out a funny-as-hell top 5 each week, (with the help of Geoff “when-oh-when will he die?” Brischke) and managed to keep the pranks coming thick and fast with Bran- Power. Bran and Nick unflinchingly sat at their desks each week and belted out thousands of words at a time. Brannavan even played the part of resident office “dish”, and often the “celebrity”. I will never forget being bailed-up by a drunk first year on the balcony of the Loaded Hog at the Law Ball for them to enquire, “what’s Brannavan like?”
Props must also go to Tania Mead, Andrew Feltoe, and Simon Sweetman who all proved themselves to be more than able super-subs that could come off the bench at a moments notice and light up the magazine with their verbal wizardry.
The last member of the starting roster, Marianna Kennedy showed up every week to proofread whatever purile filth we’d spilled forth during the week. Marianna’s been a great friend over the years to me, and she ever so graciously signed on despite being an in demand Master of Linguistics. You rule Muz. Thanks must go also to Julie Thompson, Matthew Proctor and anyone else who picked up the green folder and a red pen over the year. Subbing may not be the sexiest thing, but you all are hot as hell.
Jon “MC” McQueen made sure the machine was well oiled and financed, and sold his ass off making sure we had enough ads in the magazine to keep the VUWSA monkey off our back.
Casting the net wider, the depth in the Salient squad gave us a bench-strength that gave me comfort in the knowledge that we could turn out quality magazines consistently. Michael Oliver, Ryan Vaughan, and Andrea Molloy all turned in interesting and original articles each week. Marty Mc.B, Robbie Nielson, Critical Critic, Mark Taylor, and Jonny Funtime gave the magazine an edge, moving in personality by the bucketload, and making sure that even if people didn’t agree with you, they at least talked about you. All of you provided moments I will remember for a while. Robbie’s naked Wellington somehow taking the cake. And Marty Mc.B took out the award for pseudonym most people wanted to ‘do’ sight unseen.
The arts editors can’t be given enough kudos either. We were so lucky this year to have such an intelligent and witty bunch, all of whom probably could have had better things to do. Thomasin actually got people reading the Visual Arts pages, which was a feat that I didn’t think possible. Amy Brown and her erstwhile hubby/helper Sam Bradford kept spewing out brilliant reviews while both doing Master’s degrees, which is brilliant, if a little sick. Bea and Hateful Chris, who managed to put up with more than a bit of interference from an ex-music editor, often went beyond the call of duty to write features as well. You both rock. Yosan was probably the newest member of our team, but her enthusiasm for film and willingness to learn made sure that it was never obvious. And to Jules, who came back on for a second year and didn’t let the love drop, thank you.
To everyone at VUWSA who was choice this year, and helped me out with either admin or a friendly face to bitch to or just procrastinate with. Spike fixed our computers often, and usually just by showing up. Nikki and Sandra are about the friendliest people in the world. Brent, Dusty, and Caroline, weren’t that bad either. And all helped out with content during the year.
To Sarah Barnett, Emily Braunstein and Jeremy Greenbrook, thank you for all the professional support and advice this year, and for being living examples that people make it out of this building alive. And to my two predecessors, thank you for the guidance and mentoring over the years that turned me into someone who could make it through a year as editor in one piece.
Even when it sucks around these parts, it’s the friendship that gets you through. And a thank you to everyone I’ve ever worked alongside in this office over the years that I can now call a friend.
And lastly, thank you to my Mum, Dad and sisters (especially Katy… and Simon), you provided invaluable support and advice. To all the friends I’ve been slack with, sorry, and to the friends who were somehow always around to advise and listen to me whine (Ollie, CJ, Jon – I’m looking at chu), thank you. I look forward to having my life back. And to my girlfriend, Nat, who often had to bring dinner to work to catch an hour with me, you get my last thank you. You will be sick of me soon, and that’s a guarantee.
To Steve Nicoll and whoever comprises the Salient team in 2007, all the best. I’m sure you’ll be awesome. This is a great job, and despite what anyone may say, the satisfaction of watching from afar as students pore over the magazine each week isn’t quantified by a paycheck.
Now where’s that piano. Play me out.

Homeless Programs Office Monthly Newsletter | December 2022
The Homeless Programs Office (HPO) newsletter contains news and information about VA’s ongoing effort to prevent and end homelessness among Veterans.
Executive Director’s Message | Around HPO
Health Update | Staff Spotlight | Fact of the Month
Veterans who are homeless or at imminent risk of homelessness are strongly encouraged to contact the National Call Center for Homeless Veterans at
(877) 4AID-VET (877-424-3838) for assistance.
Message From Monica Diaz, Executive Director, VHA Homeless Programs Office
“Strange, isn’t it? Each man’s life touches so many other lives. And when he isn’t around, he leaves an awful hole, doesn’t he?”
If you’ve seen the film It’s a Wonderful Life, you know the power of Clarence’s message. If you have not seen it, I recommend taking a few hours this holiday season to enjoy the timeless story.
Army Air Corps and Air Force Veteran Jimmy Stewart plays George Bailey, a man consumed by his commitment to helping others. When Bailey becomes too overwhelmed by the pressures he faces, Clarence the angel appears.
With Clarence’s help, Bailey can see the world from a new perspective. He learns that his life and acts of kindness, no matter how small, have impacted—and even saved—more people than he ever realized.
If we had the chance to see our lives from the same vantage point as George Bailey, I have no doubt that we would have a similar experience.
When we help a Veteran exit or avoid homelessness, we do not only help this Veteran; we help the exponential number of individuals whose paths they cross.
Read Monica’s full message.
Around HPO
Homeless Persons Memorial Day
On the first day of winter and longest night of each year, we recognize Homeless Persons Memorial Day to honor the people who faced tragically avoidable deaths due to homelessness. While we remember those who we lost this year, we must look forward to the progress we can make to end Veteran homelessness and ensure every Veteran has a place to call home.
If you or a loved one are a Veteran in need of housing assistance, click here for information on resources that can help. For urgent assistance, make the call to the National Call Center for Homeless Veterans at 1-877-4AID VET (877-424-3838), which has trained counselors ready to talk 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Ending Veteran Homelessness Podcast: 2022 Year in Review with Executive Director Monica Diaz
This year, VHA’s homeless programs were able to positively impact Veterans experiencing homelessness and housing instability in many ways. On the Ending Veteran Homelessness podcast, we chat with Homeless Programs Office Executive Director Monica Diaz about the major initiatives VA implemented this year, and her thoughts on how relentlessness is critical to the work we do. Listen to the full episode.
Former Homeless Veteran Billy Truesdell’s True Colors Shine Through
When Navy Veteran Billy Truesdell realized his alcoholism was out of control after being charged with driving under the influence, he committed to participating in a Veteran’s Treatment Court. These don’t seek to determine whether a defendant is guilty of an offense but rather to ensure that Veterans receive treatment to address unmet clinical needs, such as addiction. What began as a consequence of his DUI turned out to be an important step toward changing his life. Read Billy’s story.
Online Medical Debt Relief Application Now Available
For many Veterans, medical debt can be overwhelming and can contribute to financial instability that leads to homelessness. However, it is now easier than ever for Veterans to apply for and receive medical debt relief. If you are concerned about your medical copayment debt and want to seek relief, you can now apply online at VA’s new online debt access page.
Bombas, Veterans United Increase Number of Socks Donated to Homeless Veterans
Last year, VA joined forces with Bombas and Veterans United Home Loans to donate 50,000 pairs of socks to Veterans experiencing homelessness across the country. This year, the collaboration was even more successful, distributing nearly 146,000 pairs of socks to those who need them most. Read the full story.
Innovative Practices: Montgomery County Veterans Response Team
The VA Coatesville Health Care System in Montgomery County, PA has been using an innovative practice involving collaboration with community partners to develop a Veterans Response Team aimed at connecting justice-involved Veterans to voluntary treatment and other supports before being arrested or involuntarily committed. This approach enables Veterans to resolve clinical and other issues without exposure to traumatizing criminal justice processing and incarceration, or the loss of civil liberties. Read the white paper.
If you will be traveling over the holidays, it’s important to keep your health and safety top of mind. For people aged 2 years or older, CDC recommends properly wearing a high-quality mask or respirator over the nose and mouth in indoor areas of public transportation (such as airplanes, trains, buses, ferries) and transportation hubs (such as airports, stations, and seaports).
Along with staying up to date with your COVID-19 vaccine, avoiding crowds, and hand-washing, wearing a high-quality mask or respirator is one of multiple prevention steps you can take to protect yourself and others.
HPO Staff Spotlight: Michael Boyd, LCSW
Michael Boyd serves as a regional coordinator for VA’s Supportive Services for Veterans Families (SSVF) program, which provides funding to nonprofit community agencies that work to rapidly rehouse homeless Veterans. These critical services are life-changing for Veterans, and Boyd’s role allows him to participate in both micro and macro social work to help communities find faster, more successful approaches to housing Veterans.
Read Boyd’s full spotlight to learn more about the work he does, the accomplishments he is most proud of, and his “why” for his work.
HPO Fact of the Month
Of the 33,136 Veterans experiencing homelessness on a single night in January 2022, 13,564 of those Veterans were unsheltered, meaning they live in places not meant for human habitation, such as cars, parks, sidewalks, abandoned buildings, and literally on the street.
Free, confidential help is available through VA for any Veteran experiencing homelessness. Contact the National Call Center for Homeless Veterans at 1-877-4AID VET (877-424-3838), find your nearest VA medical center, or visit our National Resource Directory for more resources.

'Siberia's navigable rivers are more than long enough to encircle the globe'
Tourists saw for themselves flames and smoke from the territory of the Lena Pillars Nature Park, a World Heritage site famed for unique ancient rock formations and pristine flora and fauna.
Wildfires on permafrost are ravaging Yakutia - or the Sakha Republic, the largest and coldest entity of the Russian Federation. The scale is mesmerising.
There are some separate 300 fires, now covering 12,140 square kilometres - but only around half of these are being tackled, because they pose a threat to people.
The rest are burning unchecked, with some of the world’s most remote wilderness destroyed by uncontrolled fires.
The savage summer fire season has seen major outbreaks around the Road of Bones, an arterial highway built by victims of repression in the Soviet era between Yakutsk - the regional capital and coldest city in the world - and the port of Magadan.
Video filmed on the "Road of Bones" - an arterial highway between Yakutsk and the port of Magadan.
A powerful video taken from a cruise boat on the region’s largest river, the Lena, highlighted the frightening scale of the fires.
Here, as in other areas of Yakutia, artificial rain was triggered by an Antonov-26 cloud-spiking plane.
Using technology developed in Soviet times, clouds are laced with a chemical cocktail of weather-changing silver iodide, liquid nitrogen and dry ice.
This caused rain which gave the exhausted firefighters a chance to hold back the carnage amid swampy and mountainous terrain.
Across Yakutia on 12 July, some 2,701 people and 323 pieces of equipment were involved in extinguishing the wildfires.

Ksenia Sobchak - a television presenter and former presidential election candidate, whose father Anatoly Sobchak was mentor to Vladimir Putin, spoke of her distress at the fires in this region of Siberia.
‘People are suffocating, birds and animals are dying,’ she posted.
‘It is impossible not to cry seeing the videos I receive.’
She asked: ‘Cannot this problem of wildfires be solved in the 21st century?
‘Is it harder than exploring space?
‘It is awful to watch what’s happening in Yakutia.’
People from the region are also seeking to focus world attention on an area almost the same size as India.
Blogger and activist Roza Dyachkovskaya along with many Yakutians reached actor and environmentalist Leo DiCaprio who told her: 'I have heard you.
‘I and my management will look into it then we will talk with the authorities in charge to see how we can be of help.’
She had told him: ‘Siberia is dying now. All Siberia hopes for your help.
‘Can you post on your official page about the fires in Siberia please.’
Blogger and activist Roza Dyachkovskaya showed the message exchange between her and Leonardo DiCaprio. Picture: @rozali_bangkok
Many locals say that only by attracting worldwide attention will Russian officials devote full resources to tackling the wildfires which threaten both settlements and the Siberian wildlife.
There was anger last week, for example, when a Russian BE-200 amphibious aircraft was sent to Turkey rather than Yakutia to extinguish the flames.
An Antonov plane was used to spike the clouds and ‘make rain’ in the Lena Pillars Nature Park, acknowledged the sanctuary’s director Arkady Semyonov.
‘We were certainly helped by the rain caused by the operation of the spiking aircraft,’ he said.
‘However, the amount of work done by the (firefighters) at the burning edge was simply enormous.
‘All edging work on all the fires was done by hand and is very valuable.
‘I am sure we will soon defeat this natural element.’
An Antonov plane was used to spike the clouds and ‘make rain’ in the Lena Pillars Nature Park.
He said this year’s summer fire season was worse than 2020.
‘There were fires in the park in previous years, but now the situation is more complicated,’ he said when the burning was at full scale.
‘Even 200 people is not enough to tackle it.
‘This year, there has been unprecedented heat and drought, with almost all fires caused by thunderstorms.
‘And this is the situation practically throughout (Yakutia).’
In Yakutsk, the city has faced choking smoke pollution this month, as have many settlements in the region.
Firefighters from the federal reserve including paratroopers have been flown in from the regions of Irkutsk, Khabarovsk and Trans-Baikal, as well as the republic of Tyva.

Experts say that overall the fires in Yakutia are less destructive than a year ago: however, they are further south, nearer the main areas of population.
Evgeny Ponomarev, associate professor at the Siberian Federal University, and senior researcher at the Sukachev Institute of Forest , said: ’Most of the areas of fires in 2021 fall in the zone of 60–65° N.
’In 2020, the greatest damage was recorded in the zone of 65–70° N. So the extreme movement of fires to the north of the region has not yet been repeated.
‘In 2020, almost 69% of all areas covered by fires accounted for the zone north of 65° N. In 2020, almost 30% of all fires in Yakutia were recorded north of the Arctic Circle (67 ° N). ’In 2021 - about 9%, and the area of fires in the circumpolar regions today is almost 10 times lower than it was in 2020.’

Yet some roasting temperatures have been recorded in the Arctic, as high as 39C, more like Dubai, and wildfires have been a significant problem.
This is in a region where winter temperatures can drop below minus 60C.
Russia’s average June temperature this year was 3C hotter than normal, according to the St. Petersburg-based Voeikov Main Geophysical Observatory.
Yakutia faced the hottest June in its recorded history, with temperatures up to 4.5C warmer than expected.
However, the pattern was not uniform across the region.
Russia is reported to be warming 2.5 times faster than the planet as a whole, a particular danger in Yakutia where greenhouse gases locked in permafrost are now escaping as the soil thaws due to heat - and wildfires.
Currently Russia has a total of 550 wildfires, meaning that more than half are in one region - Yakutia.

I heard about your paper on the John Batchlor podcast. I am distressed to see the damage being inflicted on your country by fire. I will pass on this web site to some of my friends, as well as, check your paper from time to time myself. What can we do to help?
By the way, I am an amateur radio operator and talk to people all over the world by radio. While I have talked to Russia before, I have never talked to easter Russia. I guess there are few operators.
Craig, Tyler, Texas USA
Here we go again and still nothing done! Where are the "powers that be"?
And with the permafrost melting could old bugs & diseases return to haunt mankind?
Guys, get on the job & put this tragedy at the top of the list.
Greetings from Jaker, since I was here last survived Covid 19 and being in a car crash.
& remember, if your time ain't up, it ain't up.

Jelly Roll Morton may have born in New Orleans in 1890, or maybe earlier in 1885 according to some sources. He early played piano in brothels and « sporting houses » of the city and learned a lot from great musicians like King Oliver and Tony Jackson. Then he led a life of traveling musician throughout the United States, spending most of his time between the piano and gaming tables. When he settles in Chicago in the early 1920's, he is an arrogant and big-time gambler man who claims he is the inventor of Jazz. Such excesses were not welcomed by the people who crossed his path, even if his piano playing, his prodigious memory and his virtuosity inspired respect from other musicians. During the 1920's, he recorded a great number of tunes, as a soloist and also with his orchestra Jelly Roll Morton & His Red Hot Pepper which was a major jazz band of the decade. Some of these recordings are now part of jazz history.
Jelly Roll Morton Red Hot Peppers - Black Bottom Stomp (1926)
After the Great Depression in 1929, he retired at Washington and slowly left in oblivion. With the arrival of stride and swing pianists in the forefront, he became and old-fashioned musician and made very little recordings during the 1930's. However in 1938, he was invited by Alan Lomax to record an interview for the Washington Library of Congress where Jelly Roll speaks about his life in New Orleans, and also plays pianos solo. This document is a great historical value and Jelly Roll Morton plays piano wonderfully. He died at Los Angeles in 1941.
Jelly Roll Morton's very particular way to play piano came directly from ragtime but his inspirations were very disparate : blues, spanish music, opera... He also was an original piano composer, and an great orchestra conductor. Even if he wasn't the only inventor of Jazz, Jelly Roll Morton remains one of the finest musician of this period and a great figure in Jazz history.

Freedom From Despair - 88 minute tour de force
Written by Derek Horne
Brenda Brkusic has been traveling to Croatia alot lately, not to enjoy
the revived tourism industry, but to screen her political feature film
documentary Freedom from Despair. The 88 minute tour de force has news
reel footage from Croatia's tormented past, interviews with various
family members, historians, and political activists and dramatic
recreations of their escapes from the country. All of this is
accompanied by a haunting score by award-winning composer Nenad Bach and
narrated by actors Michael York, John Savage, and Beata Pozniak.
In order to add authenticity to the dramatizations as well as conduct
some crucial interviews, Brenda traveled to Croatia last summer to film
on location in Hvar (her father's hometown), Otok Murter (her mother's
hometown), and various other historical sites.
"I knew that I was going to be interviewing Marko Dizdar (President of
"Political Prisoners under Communism") while in Croatia," said Brenda.
"Marko is a Croatian who was persecuted by the Communist Yugoslav
government for speaking his beliefs. He spent 11 years in Lepoglava
Prison and was named an Amnesty International Prisoner of Conscience. I
went to Amnesty to see if they could provide any documents for the film
regarding Marko's case, and they did." Brenda took Marko Dizdar back to
Lepoglava Prison to re-visit his old solitary confinement cell and to
have him play himself in the narrative recreations inside the prison.
Freedom from Despair had its world premiere in May at the Amnesty
International Film Festival at the Director's Guild in Hollywood. "In
making the film, I strove to represent issues of war and peace, human
rights and justice, culture and tolerance," she said. "I was proud that
an organization such as Amnesty International not only felt that I
represented those issues well and were willing to program the film under
their name, but also that they recognized the artistic value of the film
and accepted it to screen in a program with professional documentaries."
Freedom from Despair was the only student film chosen for the festival.
In attendance for the screening were actor Michael York and his wife
Patricia York, actress Beata Pozniak, and the Croatian Consulate General
of Los Angeles. Also in attendance was Academy Award-Winner David Ward,
who served as a mentor to Brenda during his tenure at Chapman as
Filmmaker-in-Residence.
"Receiving the Marion Knott Scholarship and getting to work with David
Ward was an invaluable experience for me," said Brenda. "I had to mix
interviews, stock footage, and narrative recreations that I shot in
Croatia into a coherent and captivating historical piece. Every week I
would bring David new edits of the film until finally I had a 95 minute
film. David would watch each shot very carefully and help me to perfect
that mixture. He also gave me great advice about staying true to my
belief and standing my ground when trying to accomplish what I want."
Brenda also appreciated the experience of getting to work with actors
Michael York, John Savage and Beata Pozniak on the film. "They all
really believed in me and knowing that I was a student they helped me
out of their own generosity," she said. "Each of them had a different
way of approaching the recording session and their individual
characters."
Brenda had a long-distance working relationship with Nenad Bach who was
composing the score in New York. "One day he called me to play a sample
of the score to me on the piano," she said. "As soon as he played the
first few notes, I started to cry - it was that beautiful. It was at
that moment that I realized, 'My God, this person created this beautiful
piece of music to help me translate my emotions in the film and that is
so special to me! I realized that the film also meant a lot to Nenad."
Freedom from Despair had its Croatian premiere at the Dubrovnik Film
Festival in May. Brenda's film includes footage of the Serb forces
bombing the ancient city of Dubrovnik which is now protected by UNESCO
as a world heritage site. "I felt it an important event to screen the
film in Dubrovnik last May because it gave the people an opportunity to
see that someone has documented the injustice that occurred in their
city, in turn bringing them the only justice they may ever know," said
Brenda, whose own extended family came from all over Croatia to see the
film. During the closing ceremony a juror from the festival got on stage
and gave the film a special recognition saying "In a time when there are
a lot of films made about nothing, Freedom from Despair is a film about
something very important. It is a film that reminds us that there are
still things in this world worthy of our tears. Some films feel as if
they have to be made, and this is one."
Brenda was invited back to Croatia in July for the Pula Film Festival
where it screened alongside such high profile documentaries as Farenheit
911, Capturing the Friedmans, and The Revolution Will Not Be Televised!
While there, Brenda was interviewed by four television stations, spoke
to Branko Lustig (producer of Schindler's List and Gladiator) and met
with the President of Croatia. Croatian Television has expressed
interest in airing the documentary as well as PBS.
Recently Brenda was able to gain fiscal sponsorship from a non-profit
charitable organization called the Croatian National Foundation. This
will allow people the opportunity to give tax deductible contributions
to the film. To make a donation or to read more about the film, visit

Trust the Wolf
Title: Trust the Wolf
Author: Zoe Ashwood
Genre: Paranormal Shapeshifter Romance
Release Date: January 24, 2019 Cover Design: Natasha Snow Designs
You never forget your first wolf.
Emilia’s first encounter with Jason is memorable: it’s not every day you see a stranger change into a wolf. Her attraction to him is undeniable, but the secret he shares shakes the foundations of her life.
Jason’s need for Emilia unnerves him. It’s his job to report shifters without proper ID, yet he can’t make himself do it this time. The decision bites him in the tail when he discovers exactly who she is. He must keep his distance—or there will be hell to pay.
Their fates entwine when rogue shifters learn of Emilia’s identity and will stop at nothing to get to her. Emilia and Jason will have to fight together or risk losing everything.
But most of all? Emilia must learn to trust the wolf.
Jason’s world narrowed down to the hot feel of Emilia’s mouth on his, the warmth of her body pressed up against his. He hadn’t expected her to take control, especially after her embarrassment over the condom thing, but he let her have it, reveling in the sensation. The part of his brain that shouted that this was a bad idea because of his work was silenced by the voice shouting Finally!
He twined his tongue with hers, exploring, judging her reactions. With a sexy moan, she deepened the kiss, tugging him closer, insistent and impatient. Jason huffed out a groaning laugh, breaking the kiss. They stared at each other, foreheads touching, and Jason had to remind himself where they were and why it was a bad idea to lift her onto the bar stool, get comfortable between her legs, and see if they were as compatible as the kiss suggested.
Emilia’s arms were still wrapped around his neck, so he explored the warm expanse of her back. Thanking whatever impulse possessed her to put on that magnificent dress tonight, he caressed her skin, and goose bumps rose in his palms’ wake.
“Would you like to dance?” He hadn’t been going to make that suggestion earlier but now he wanted an excuse to keep his hands on her a while longer.
Nodding, she tugged him onto the dance floor, their drinks forgotten at the bar. The music throbbed, the beat different from the ear-splitting noise of human clubs. Here, the rhythm was primal, the low tones worming their way into his bones.
Emilia followed him through the crowd, her hand gripping his as she bobbed to the music. At first, she stared around, awe and fear mingling in her expression; the shifters pressing in around them were a multicolored, sweaty mass of creatures. He tried seeing them through her eyes, taking in the sheer diversity of species and the variety of scents.
He saw the moment she noticed a pair of shifters against the wall of mirrors, one man leaning on the glass with his head thrown back, eyes closed, while the other man knelt in front of him. Her grip on Jason’s arm tightened, nails digging into the fabric of his shirt. A spike in her breathing was all the warning he had before the gut-punch smell of her desire hit him like a ton of bricks. He let himself feel the music, and she caught his rhythm. They swayed together, hands finding skin, lips meeting lips until he no longer knew where his body ended and hers began. She snuck her fingers under the hem of his shirt, and Jason hissed in a breath at her palms resting on his back. Pulling her closer, hands on her ass, he ground his hips into hers.
Emilia arched her back and offered him her neck, surrendering without knowing it was the ultimate move of submission for a wolf. There was nothing submissive about Emilia—she took as good as she gave in every touch, every kiss, and yet she gave him this trust. Jason would have howled in triumph if he’d been a wolf just then, and he slid one hand to cup the back of her head as he bit her neck lightly. She moaned, frantic, and the sound sent bolts of lust running down his spine. He was as hard as a rock and moments from lifting her up, spreading her legs and sheathing himself inside her heat.
The smell of her arousal was driving him insane, even more so because he knew others could sense it, too. Only an idiot would try to come between a wolf shifter and his mate—his mate. Was this why she was so irresistible for him? How could he be so sure of her after spending so little time together?
He hissed, refusing to think about that now that he had her in his arms, and bit down harder on her neck; she gasped and clawed at his shirt with increasing urgency. All Jason wanted was to take her against the cool mirrors that would reflect their passion back to the—fuck. Back to the dozens of shifters in this goddamn club.
He drew back from the kiss, Emilia protesting with a moan and trying to chase his lips with hers. Smirking, he caught her hands in his.
“Em, let’s get out of here.”
