Initiated by Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman General Nathan Twining and Chief of Naval Operations Admiral Arleigh Burke, and then presided over by General Thomas Power, Director of the Joint Strategic Target Planning Staff (1960-1964), SIOP-62 mapped out a synchronized nuclear attack by the U.S. Air Force, Navy and Army combining strategic bombers, Polaris submarine-launched missiles and Atlas ICBMs in an ‘alert’ force of over 1,706 nuclear weapons and a ‘full’ force of over 3,240 nuclear weapons delivered to 1,060 targets in the Soviet Union, China and allied states. In this Plan there was little or no distinction made between Communist states that were at war with the United States and those that were not. Some sites (Designated Ground Zeroes – DGZs) would be struck by two or more weapons, and included both military installations and urban-industrial areas. The alert force would target 199 cities and the full force would target 295.2 The planners estimated that the total human deaths from such an attack would be 108 million in the Soviet Union and 104 million in the PRC as well as several million in satellite states,3 while Kaplan estimated that 175 million Russians and Chinese would be killed by the ‘alert’ force and 285 million would be killed by a ‘full’ force, and an additional 40 million more injured.4 To make such threats credible, the Departments of Defense (DoD) and Energy (DoE) and the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) conducted visible tests of new nuclear weapons in various atmospheric conditions in a twenty test series between 1946 and 1963. Even after the limited test ban treaty was adopted, they continued with underground tests.
General Thomas Power presided over the creation of SIOP-62 as Commander in Chief, Strategic Air Command (1957–1964) and Director, Joint Strategic Target Planning Staff (1960–1964).
As nuclear intimidation continued, and as other nations sought to gain ‘parity’, the global nuclear industry grew. It was clearly understood in these early decades that the dual-use of nuclear materials in nuclear energy generation and nuclear weapons served to establish and maintain national influence in the international arena. Since 1945, the supply and procurement of uranium together with coal (for steel production) has been a good indicator of a nation’s capacity to both rapidly increase its energy production with the potential to produce munitions and, for those states already with the capacity, to produce and enhance a nuclear weapons arsenal. High-energy power generation was an index of a nation’s war-making potential underlining the link between mining and militarisation.
In the following I seek to explain why and how the Australian government in 2014 has concluded a uranium trade deal with India that is in breach of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) by tracing the development of a nuclear nexus between India, Australia, Japan and the United States. Just as it was in the early cold war, this trade in nuclear materials is informed by interlocking and mutually reinforcing economic and geostrategic interests that have long undermined international disarmament initiatives. I argue that changing climatic conditions caused by emissions intensive energy production, however, demand a fundamental re-thinking of this paradigm.
Of the 67 reactors under construction globally as of July 2014, at least 49 were experiencing delays and eight had been under construction for 20 or more years. China too, having planned before 2011 to replace heavy carbon emitting coal-fired power stations with nuclear power stations, stalled and re-assessed its position after 3.11.8 For the most part, China (along with the US, India and Germany) has boosted its renewable electricity generating capacity so that by 2013, it produced through wind, solar and hydro power over 1000 terawatt hours – the equivalent of the total power generation of France and Germany.9 In Japan, nearly four years after the Fukushima Daiichi meltdowns, 46 other nuclear reactors remain shut down. The Nuclear Regulatory Authority (NRA) approved the restart of two reactors in Sendai, Kyushu on 10 September 2014 and Mayoral consent was secured in October.
Until 2014, along with China, Japan has also seen a boom in mostly solar and wind electricity generation. But this has been stalled by utilities who have refused to take an influx of renewable power into the grid or to reduce electricity prices.10 With fewer nuclear plants scheduled for construction around the world than for shutdown, however, the nuclear industry faces the likely prospect of contraction11 and replacement by rapidly advancing renewable energy options, including solar, wind, tidal, hydro and possibly geothermal power over the longer term.
New mining leases were approved in Western Australia, Queensland and New South Wales, and Queensland Premier Campbell Newman broke his electoral commitment not to permit uranium mining by inviting uranium mining companies to commence exploration operations. The new (Queensland) Mineral and Energy Resources (Common Provisions) Bill 2014, for example, passed on 9 September 2014 authorizes a Coordinator General to overrule community objection rights to ‘State significant projects’ including coal, bauxite and uranium mines, or to limit them to concerns unrelated to environmental protection.13 This Act gives virtual immunity to large companies exploring for uranium deposits in the Mitchell and Alice River basins in Cape York and the Gulf country. Encouraged by these positive signs, along with other Japanese, Chinese and Indian investors in uranium projects in Australia, the major French energy corporation Areva recently bought a 51 percent share in a joint venture with Australian uranium miner Toro Energy for exploration in the Wiso Basin in Northern Territory.14 In other words, federal and state governments in Australia have been approving exploration licenses and the opening of uranium mines at a time when the global nuclear and uranium industry was marked by decline and exit.
While some of the larger corporations chose to wait for uranium demand to rise, many in the Australian uranium mining industry scrambled to reprioritise, turning to the newly emerging market of nation-states tipped for rapid economic expansion. India attracted attention due to its high-growth economic potential, geostrategic positioning and nuclear ambitions. As then Prime Minister Howard had done in 2007, ‘energy starved’ India’s ‘power crisis’ is again being widely portrayed in desperate terms,15 while the solutions are presented as economic expansion and greater energy consumption by a growing middle class.16 In addition to coal exports, Australian politicians, in consultation with business representatives in the uranium and minerals sector, have framed the push for uranium trade with India as a ‘moral duty’ and ‘humanitarian responsibility’ to improve living standards of India’s impoverished people.
Over the nearly four years since the Fukushima disaster, the Japanese government and corporations have actively courted more than 20 countries for the purchase of Japan’s nuclear technologies. Agreements had been reached with Jordan, Vietnam, South Korea and Russia under the Kan and Noda Democratic Party Japan (DPJ) governments, and the export of nuclear technology remained central to the Abe government’s economic plans. Two more nuclear technology agreements with Turkey and the United Arab Emirates have since been reached,19 and six more are under consideration – with India, South Africa, Mexico, Brazil, Saudi Arabia and Bangladesh. Despite the continuing negative effects of ongoing radioactive contamination dispersal from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant, the Abe government remains intent both on nuclear startups in Japan and on promoting its exports of nuclear technology to other countries.
A similar initiative followed on 5 September 2014, when Abbott and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi signed the Australia-India Nuclear Cooperation Agreement in New Delhi. It was the culmination of the efforts initiated by the Howard government in 2006,22 carried forward by the Gillard government in 2011–2012.
After India’s ‘Smiling Buddha’ Pokhran-I nuclear tests in May 1974, when the Indian government declared that it intended to harness nuclear energy to manufacture nuclear weapons, the Australian government (and many other countries including the US) placed a ban on exporting uranium to it (France and Russia continued to sporadically export uranium under a safety clause). India had built its clandestine nuclear weapons program using imported Canadian reactors.
Since Nehru, India has justified its indigenous development of civil and military nuclear capacity and fuel and its refusal to ratify the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) by pointing to the nuclear weapons held by existing nuclear weapons states. It has argued that the NPT is a flawed agreement that reflects the hypocrisy of the nuclear weapons states in refusing to seriously engage in disarmament while expecting non-nuclear weapons states to abstain from possession. In 1975, partially in response to the Indian tests of the previous year, the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) initially comprising seven nations (United States, United Kingdom, Soviet Union, Japan, France, Canada, West Germany) was formed to prevent the diversion of nuclear materials used for commercial and peaceful purposes for the production of nuclear weapons. NSG members were obliged to cease trade with governments that did not submit to international inspection. India and Pakistan were included. Despite the bans, India went ahead to conduct its Pokhran II nuclear tests in May 1998. These were followed by Pakistan’s tests two weeks later. UN Security Council Resolution 1172 of June 199823 expressed grave concern and demanded that both countries foreswear further tests and abandon their nuclear weapon ambitions.
expressed grave concern and demanded that both countries foreswear further tests and abandon their nuclear weapon ambitions.
Despite the resolution’s unanimous adoption and threat of sanctions, the turning point was when the George W. Bush administration (2001-2009) chose to prioritize U.S. bilateral relations with India over any unified front to counter nuclear proliferation. The US–India energy agreement of July 2005 opened the way for other states, such as Australia, to engage bilaterally with India.
Meanwhile in October 2008, the Singh government overcame stiff opposition in parliament to secure national and international backing for the signing of the US–India ‘1-2-3’ Nuclear Cooperation Agreement.This Agreement stipulated that India would open its civilian nuclear facilities to inspection by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and delineate its civil and military facilities so as to ensure US-origin fuel would not be used for military purposes. In return the US would supply nuclear fuel and nuclear technologies (six reactors) and gain greater access to the Indian nuclear market.
As unanimous approval from the 48 states of the NSG was also required, the US and India lobbied hard and secured an unprecedented waiver of NSG export guidelines so as to permit nuclear commerce with India despite its non-NPT signatory status. Having granted the exception, several NSG members then negotiated bilateral nuclear accords with India (including France, United Kingdom, South Korea, Canada and Kazakhstan). In 2008 the Singh government purchased 300 MT of uranium ore concentrate from Areva of France, in 2009 2000 MT of uranium oxide pellets and 58 MT of enriched uranium dioxide from JSC Tvel/Russia, also in 2009 2100 MT of uranium dioxide concentrate from NAC/Kazakhstan and in 2013 2000 MT of uranium ore concentrate from NMMC Uzbekistan.27 While details are yet to be finalised, the deal with Australia in 2014 would secure for India a steady, reliable, high-grade uranium supply from the world’s largest known uranium deposits (its uranium resources are about 28 percent of the world total).
While details are yet to be finalised, the deal with Australia in 2014 would secure for India a steady, reliable, high-grade uranium supply from the world’s largest known uranium deposits (its uranium resources are about 28 percent of the world total).
In November 2010, in a joint statement signed by US President Obama and Indian PM Singh, it was agreed that negotiations would begin between Nuclear Power Corporation India Ltd (NPCIL) and US nuclear energy companies in return for implementing India’s full membership of the NSG in a ‘phased manner’. India agreed to accommodate the demands of General Electric and Westinghouse, which sought strict adherence to the CSC31 by diluting the CLNDA to reduce both suppliers’ liability and the time period for exercising right of recourse in the Civil Liability for Nuclear Damage Rules 2011.32 The US-India Business Council, PM Modi and industry executives from the Nuclear Power Company of India Ltd. (NPCIL) also devised an insurance package to indemnify the American suppliers in the event of a nuclear accident for the maximum liability amount stipulated in the CLNDA (INR 1500 Crore/$250 million).33 This was to encourage US/Japan companies (among others) to collaborate in building new nuclear reactors to allow India to ‘achieve its full blown potential’.34 In short, India would take as close to full liability for nuclear accidents as possible in return for receiving the benefits of NPT and NSG membership without the full obligations expected of its members. In doing so, the integrity of the NPT was further compromised.
Given that Australia’s uranium mining and export accounts for less than 1 percent of its hundred billion dollar mineral export business (iron ore, bauxite, coal, copper, nickel etc),36 however, these decisions by Australian leaders risked significant political capital over what has been a highly contentious issue in Australia’s recent political history.
the NPT non-nuclear-weapon states agree never to acquire nuclear weapons in exchange for which the NPT nuclear-weapon states agree to share the benefits of peaceful nuclear technology and to pursue nuclear disarmament aimed at the ultimate elimination of their nuclear arsenals.
Nuclear weapons states have had the primary responsibility to ensure disarmament of their own arsenals so as to prevent nuclear non-proliferation among other states. The export controls regime of the NSG and enhanced verification measures of IAEA (International Atomic Energy Association) Additional Protocols are ostensibly to end every possible means to acquire nuclear weapons. While Article Four of the NPT provides ‘inalienable rights to every non-nuclear weapon state’ to pursue nuclear energy for power generation, India is neither a member of the NPT nor a Non-Nuclear Weapon State and there is no provision in the NPT which permits for signatories to form nuclear cooperation agreements with Non-NPT states.
India quite rightly has pointed out the hypocritical approach of the nuclear weapons states in approaching the NPT regime. As the Indian External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee stated in 2007, India was not an NPT signatory because it considers the regime to be not one of ‘universal, non-discriminatory verification and treatment’.37 In the same statement, Minister Mukherjee also claimed that India had an ‘impeccable record on non-proliferation… [was] a leading advocate of the elimination of all nuclear weapons… [and was an adherent] to the values of peace and non-violence’. India’s ‘impeccable track-record on non-proliferation’ was a catch phrase coined by President Bush in 2005,38 and reiterated by both PM Modi and PM Abbott in 2014.
Treating India as an exceptional case and a de facto nuclear weapons state makes even more conspicuous the selective imposition of sanctions or favour upon other non-NPT signatory nuclear weapons states such as Pakistan and Israel, or NPT signatory non-nuclear weapons states such as Iran.39 But the self-interested and strategically motivated application of the NPT was not new, nor was it limited to the US and its allies. The Soviet Union supplied China with the necessary technologies and skills to develop its own nuclear weapons capabilities, as China then supplied Pakistan. In turn, Pakistan also supplied other states that aspire to obtain nuclear capabilities. All were in a chain reaction, however, to U.S. threats to China and ultimately to the Soviet Union, in the early decades of the Cold War. While it is debatable that uranium and nuclear technology supply to India by others might serve to deter contemporary Chinese or Pakistani nuclear aggression, it has not served to prevent Indian conflicts with either of those two nations in the past. In any case, the use of nuclear trade as a strategic instrument does not ensure greater security or stability of the international community broadly defined, and this sort of leverage is not a valid use of the NPT.
So despite PM Abbott’s assurances that ‘suitable safeguards’ were in place to guarantee that Australian uranium would be used for ‘peaceful purposes’ and for ‘civilian use only’, as the former Director General of the Australian Safeguards and Non-Proliferation Office John Carlson points out, the Agreement departs from two principles of Australia’s 1987 Safeguards Act (section 51):40 the acquirement of ‘consent to reprocessing’ from the Australian government prior to the separation of plutonium from spent fuel; and the ‘right of return’ of nuclear materials supplied in the event of a breach of the agreement.41 Instead, the Agreement defers to the US-India nuclear cooperation agreement in which India would reprocess in facilities built with the assistance of US companies, and leaves open the question of how separated plutonium would be used or how arbitration would apply to settle disputes.
Ten of India’s twenty nuclear facilities are beyond the regulatory authority of the IAEA and India only selectively recognises IAEA safeguards for specific foreign supplied reactors and facilities. India also refuses to submit to suppliers inventory reports and accounting processes for nuclear material flowing through the nuclear cycle. As the IAEA is not able to fully inspect India’s dual-purpose (civilian and military) indigenous reactors and facilities for reprocessing, enrichment, retransfers to third countries, research and development or the production of tritium (used as a trigger for weapons), India is not fully accountable to either the IAEA or the supplier nation with which it has a bilateral agreement with in-built IAEA norms.
So even if India adheres to Australia’s requirements that its uranium be used solely to supply civil nuclear reactors for electricity generation that may be inspected by IAEA as per the nuclear safeguards agreement, Australia’s (or any other NPT members’) uranium export to India effectively supplements or liberates limited supplies of Indian uranium for military uses.42 Nor could, in the unlikely discovery of the ‘misallocation’ of some Australian origin uranium toward military use, the IAEA force compliance. In fact, whether or not India accounts for the flows of Australian material in its nuclear fuel cycle, it is impossible to verify whether it has actually adhered to the safeguards.

As has been recommended by the United Nations (UN), World Health Organisation (WHO), International Energy Agency (IEA), Intergovernmental Panel for Climate Change (IPCC), and recognised by the World Bank and the European Investment Bank, the rapid phase out of coal-fired power stations is essential if the world is to meet the now seemingly optimistic carbon emissions reductions necessary to keep planetary warming below 2 percent of pre-industrialisation levels.46 While two hundred licenses for coal-fired power stations have been revoked by the Supreme Court of India recently, many Indian overseas coal projects are still underway.
There are a number of flaws underpinning the logic of this activity between political leaders and nuclear industry executives. PM Abbott insisted at the time of signing the nuclear deal with India that the Agreement would be safe. In fact, the Abbott government has committed to selling uranium to an ambitious nation that barely conceals its intentions to expand its nuclear weapons arsenal and has refused to become a full signatory to the NPT and, along with the US, China and Pakistan, has not ratified the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty (CTBT).
Prime Minister Modi is a pro-business politician and hardliner on Pakistan and Muslim populations in India and favours a security policy based on nuclear deterrence. The BJP holds a commanding majority in the lower house of Parliament. There is little reason to assume that Indian relations with Pakistan – or indeed with China – will soften by furnishing India with greater means to project its military power in the region. The surge of fundamentalist and jingoist forces in South Asia and rising military budgets and tensions between India and Pakistan on the one hand and China and the US, Japan and its allies on the other, aggravate the security situation in the region. Further, India has been waging an on-going long-term campaign against an insurgency within its borders, and it cannot guarantee against theft of nuclear-related materials.
Fourth, the option of nuclear power as the ‘clean’ alternative is nothing of the sort. Although the fission operation of nuclear power stations may be ‘cleaner’ than coal-fired power stations in terms of carbon emissions, and although the heat from fission may produce more energy and less waste per volume of uranium than coal, many problems remain unresolved. These include the safe storage of long-lived nuclear waste, long build time of reactors in proportion to rapidly accelerating effects of climate change, enormous financial costs, use and contamination of vital resources required across the nuclear cycle from mining to waste production (including water and fossil fuels),55centralised monopolisation of power management necessitated by nuclear power generation, excess heating of the atmosphere through the discharge of excess heat through water and air, danger to ecologies downwind or downstream from venting while refueling reactors, and increased potential for large-scale and long-term damage from accidents.
Given the advances of wind, solar, tidal and geothermal energy production which have become cheaper and more productive, as field-tested in China, Germany,56 Spain and other countries, and the abundance of these sources of energy in countries like Australia, the myth of base-load power is less sustainable than it was in the heady renaissance days. India’s pitch to rapidly increase economic growth has been embraced by the transnational nuclear industry as it represents an opportunity to expand the nuclear industry, and an opportunity to diversify from reliance on the Chinese market. But when typical cost-benefit analyses are extended to include the actual costs of the above-mentioned scenarios (nuclear weapons exchange, public health effects from industrial pollution from uranium mining and nuclear reactors, nuclear reactor disasters, nuclear waste storage, renewable energy alternatives), in an already fragile ecology in India, India’s nuclear energy plan reflects neither deep commitment to climate change mitigation nor serious concern for India’s impoverished populations.
Why does the Australian, Indian, the United States and Japanese governments (among others) and their affiliated transnational corporations, continue to accelerate nuclear related operations despite these significant obstacles?
It is unlikely that the Japan-India Nuclear Cooperation Agreement went unsigned because of any putative scruple Japan may have about selling nuclear technologies to India as a non-NPT nuclear weapons state. As the Modi and NPCIL accommodation of American supplier demands demonstrates, the liability clause can be flexible. It remains unlikely, however, that India will consent to opening all of its reactors for inspection.60 Rather, it is likely that Japan is awaiting an American executive decision on the liability issue and the possible inclusion of India into the NPT as a nuclear weapons state, since prior agreement would appear to abrogate Japan’s NPT obligations.
That PM Modi reasserted India’s customary ‘no first use’ policy does not mean that he does not intend to stockpile and bolster India’s nuclear arsenal. The Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) estimates that India possesses 90 to 110 nuclear weapons.61 In June 2014, the IHS (Information Handling Service) Jane’s military research group identified what they believe to be a new uranium hexafluoride (enrichment) facility at the Indian Rare Metals Plant near Mysore. As with its other military plants, this plant is not within IAEA safeguards. Estimated to be operational by mid-2015, it would produce roughly double the amount of enriched fuel (160 kilos a year enriched to 90 percent purity) required for India’s ballistic missile nuclear submarine fleet.62 The IHS analysts surmise that the surplus could be used for thermonuclear weapons (mixing enriched uranium and plutonium stockpiles).63 It could also be used to fuel nuclear submarines, space satellites, tactical and intermediate ballistic missiles, and multiple warhead Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles (Agni V ICBM MIRVs) with the ability to reach cities in China and Pakistan. India joins the US, Russia, UK, France and China in possessing the ICBM with MIRV, leaving Pakistan further behind in terms of weapons parity, particularly in navy, air and ground forces, and missile capabilities.64 As India seeks to rival China, it could further destabilize relations with Pakistan by intensifying the ongoing arms race between the two. Regional tensions could be further exacerbated by Pakistan’s border skirmishes with Afghanistan and Iran over its support of the Taliban in Afghanistan.65 Along with increasing tensions involving US-Japan-India and China, this is precisely the scenario that NPT members have tried to avoid by subscribing to IAEA safeguards.
Since the late 1950s, there have been elements in the Japanese government (led by Abe’s grandfather and former Prime Minister Kishi Nobusuke) who have advocated the procurement of tactical nuclear weapons as an entitlement under the nation’s right to self-defence as stipulated in the UN Charter. Although the US has long discouraged Japan’s nuclear weaponisation with assurances of extended nuclear deterrence, in 2003 US Vice-President Cheney stated that Japan’s possession of nuclear weapons could be tenable if it were aligned to US strategic deterrence policy.68 As an NPT signatory, Japan has accumulated the fourth largest stockpile of ‘civilian’ plutonium, the largest stockpile of any non-nuclear weapons state.69 Despite reprocessing programs having been closed down by many other countries, Japan claims that its significant nuclear reprocessing and fuel fabrication program is for ‘energy autonomy’ by which it means ‘closing the nuclear fuel cycle’. This relies upon the ability to separate plutonium from spent fuel and reprocess and fabricate it ‘upwards’ so as to produce more plutonium than is consumed, thereby facilitating an endless loop of fuel production and consumption. In this scenario, the Japanese government regards spent nuclear fuel and stockpiled plutonium as an ‘asset’ rather than a ‘debt’.
This ability should not be understood as solely for the reduction of reliance on foreign fuel imports or even of nuclear waste. In 2009, Ernest J. Moniz, an MIT professor and United States Secretary of Energy in 2014, admitted that uranium, once thought to be scarce, was now so abundant as to raise doubt over the necessity for nuclear fuel reprocessing.70 As of March 2011, despite the recommendations by the Japan Atomic Energy Commission and the Science Council of Japan of both direct disposal and limited surface storage of spent nuclear fuel in dry casks over fuel pool storage and reprocessing, the Japanese government would not rule out the reprocessing option. If the closed fuel cycle ever did eventuate, it would negate Japan’s dependence on the import of vital energy resources (uranium, oil, natural gas) so as to achieve ‘energy autonomy’. This would drastically reduce fuel costs and would also reduce vulnerability to sanctions should Japan breach the NPT (or other international agreements) in its decision to ‘go nuclear’.
Japan’s long-term investment in co-developing this high-level technical capability has made it the second most powerful missile power in the world, and the only nation outside the US with both low and upper-tier defences reputedly capable of intercepting missiles beyond the Earth’s atmosphere.72 Given this long-term commitment, it was not surprising that the Abe government in 2013 decided to declare the constitutional right to participate in ‘collective security’ operations with the US and other allies.
This technology, and Japan’s ambiguous intentions concerning nuclear and space weaponisation, means that the US and Japan, in collaboration with partners such as Australia and India (in sea-going operations in particular), could potentially integrate not only their BMD systems but also their nuclearized capabilities. As South Korea and Taiwan have also expressed interest in reprocessing their spent nuclear fuel (as have other states such as Saudi Arabia), these developments carry strong potential for proliferation.
One of the major implications of this distributed form of ‘self-defence’ is that US Pacific Command would further extend the pre-emptive strike capacity of its global nuclear strike force. With Japan’s recent release of space assets for military use (reconnaissance, communications, navigation, early warning) in collaboration with the US, this further augments the current period of US ‘nuclear primacy’ and a return to the conditions prior to 1963 when the Soviets had developed long-range bombers to deliver their nuclear payloads over US territory. Nuclear primacy transcends the concept of Mutually Assured Destruction in its ability to win a nuclear war, which the US is proposing to do by eliminating retaliatory capability with a single massive attack called ‘Prompt Global Strike’.
Under the Australia–India uranium trade agreement, India will use Australian yellow cake to diversify its nuclear program. If and when the Japan–India Nuclear Cooperation Agreement is concluded, it will supply the nuclear technology India requires to build its industrial capacity and indirectly enhance its nuclear arsenal. Negotiated almost simultaneously and in coordination, both of these Agreements, together with and following the US–India nuclear agreement, tacitly legitimise India’s nuclear status and assist in its ambitions for greater international influence. Australia and Japan, both NPT and NSG members, have become complicit in India’s nuclear weapons program and partially responsible for increasing the risk of nuclear accident in India, and for potentially aggravating nuclear rivalry in Asia.
India claims to need more electricity for domestic and industrial growth as well as to lift a significant population out of poverty. Yet there are many factors which create the conditions for the advance of India’s poor, just as there are many forms of alternative energy generation beyond nuclear and coal which would be safer, more reliable and powerful if given comparable investment and with smart power grid distribution networks.76 To the extent that governments and corporations continue to invest in nuclear power construction and reprocessing as a source of ‘renewable energy’, they diminish the potential to stem the destructive and exponentially increasing effects of climate change.77 China, Germany, the United States, India and even Japan are presently leading the world in investing in renewable energy technology. Yet, with the exception of Germany, this is being done in parallel with plans to expand nuclear power production.
The ongoing contamination from radiation dispersed from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant came, in part, from Australian uranium.78 When the benefits of uranium trade are weighed against the potential and actual costs and damages from uranium mining, the actual risks of nuclear reactor accidents and mismanagement, the decline in costs and advances in renewable technologies, potential nuclear weapons use (broadly defined) and proliferation, and the steady production of nuclear waste, it becomes clear that state-corporate policies to expand the industry are ill-conceived.
In 2014, as in 1945 and throughout the intervening decades, uranium mining, nuclear power generation and nuclear weapons remain ineluctably tied to the formation of a global power structure of nation-states and transnational corporations and instrumental in their overarching ambitions.

44 Comprising six open-cut pits and five underground mines, the Carmichael mine will cover an area seven times that of Sydney Harbour. Despite warnings from the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority and UNESCO that this will place it ‘in danger’, plans to dredge and dump about 3 million cubic metres of the Reef into a wetlands sanctuary to make way for port expansions for 480 additional ships to access 330 million tonnes of coal per year from this mega-mine will use 12 billion litres of fresh water per year and will affect the habitat of humpback whales, sea turtles and dugongs. With 130 million tonnes of carbon dioxide produced every year for ninety years, this will cancel out the Queensland Direct Action target of 131 million tonnes of carbon dioxide reduction. Adani Enterprises has a dubious track record including illegal large-scale exports of iron ore at its port and numerous cases of environmental pollution. It has also been a significant supporter of the Bharatiya Janta Party. Deutsche Bank, HSBC, Citi, Morgan Stanley and possible JP Morgan Chase and Goldman Sachs have refused to fund the project while the ‘big four’ Australian banks seem to be giving their approval. India is the third largest producer, consumer and importer of coal in the world and the fourth largest energy consumer in the world. See, Mary McCarthy, ‘Darwin and Adelaide likely export hubs for Queensland uranium’, ABC Rural; Ben Pearson, ‘ Carmichael coal mine impacts will be felt for generations,’ ABC Environment , 28Jul2014, William Rollo, ‘Carmichael Coal and Rail Project: Queensland mine gets Federal Government approval’, ABC News, 29 July 2014; Candace Dunn, ‘India falls back on imported fossil fuels’, Business Spectator, 15 August 2014.

46 In support of the claim for the rapid shift from fossil fuels to renewable energy and energy savings, the United Nations’ Secretary General Ban Ki-moon stated ‘We need to limit global temperature rise within 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. This is what the international community has recognised as the upper limit of safety. Beyond 2 degrees, the consequences will be unpredictable, highly dangerous and perhaps irreversible’. See, United Nations, ‘Secretary-General’s remarks at Climate Leaders Summit’, 11 April 2014. It is estimated that at least two thirds of proven fossil fuel reserves must stay in the ground and that carbon utilities and infrastructure must be developed beyond 2017 as 80 percent of cumulative emissions allowable between 2010 and 2035 are already locked into existing power plants, factories, buildings and services. In addition this will result in significant positive in health effects, job production, biodiversity conservation, energy independence and stronger sovereignty and resilience. Although several countries have moved to end public finance for coal and other fossil fuels, Australia has yet to do so in a significant manner. See WHO – 7 million premature deaths linked to air pollution and Climate Change – IPCC Response Strategies.

53 While there are conflicting reports, in contrast to studies based on dose estimates in accordance with institutional levels (such as the ICRP), an Indian Doctors for Peace and Development (IDPD) epidemiological study found in 2007 that living within 2.5kms of the mining operations increased rates of illness (2118 households) and was upheld by the Jharkhand High Court in 2007. This was supported by a study in 2004 by Koide Hiroaki who found the level to be 10mSv/y around the mine and over 1 mSv/y in the villages. The UCIL managers have used the As Low As Reasonably Achievable (ALARA) principle to set permissible radiation exposure limits and precautionary measures and have shown disregard for the conditions of indigenous peoples living in the area.

55 France, which until recently has drawn roughly three quarters of its energy supply from nuclear power stations, uses 40-50 percent of the nation’s mostly fresh water supply to cool its plants.
56 Germany, for example, prior to the Fukushima nuclear disaster in 2011 was heavily reliant on nuclear and fossil fuels. Over the past decade, however, its use of renewable energy mainly from solar and wind, has tripled. In 2013, however, renewable energy accounted for 24 percent of the nation’s total electricity supply.

62 Along with the P-5 states, India and Pakistan also continue to develop new systems capable of delivering nuclear weapons and are expanding their capacities to produce fissile material for military purposes. India conducted successful tests of the 5,000-km Agni-V, India’s first ICBM. Along with its shorter-range Prithvi missiles, India’s 2,000-km K-4 SLBM and its Agni-I (700-km), Agni-II (2,000-km) and Agni-III (3,000-km) missiles were tested under Strategic Forces Command in March 2014. It is still to test the 750-km K-15 SLBM in India’s first indigenous nuclear-powered submarine the INS Arihant in sea trials in late 2014.

64 Pakistan possesses roughly the equivalent nuclear weapons as India, which serves as a cheap deterrent in the face of India’s overwhelming conventional superiority. Nevertheless, Pakistan is developing shorter-range cruise missiles to evade ballistic missile defence and is planning a long-term build-up of its nuclear arsenal and delivery systems, including tactical short-range missiles, as a ‘full spectrum deterrent’. See for example, Tim Craig and Karen DeYoung, ‘Pakistan is eyeing sea-based and short-range nuclear missiles, analysts say’, Washington Post, 21 September 2014; Kyle Mizokami, ‘If Pakistan and India clash: 5 Pakistani weapons of war India should fear’, The National Interest, 24 August 2014; Kyle Mizokami, ‘If Pakistan and India went to war: 5 Indian weapons of war Pakistan should fear’, The National Interest, 16 August 2014; Amin Saikal, ‘Pakistan must de-escalate conflicts with three of its neighbours’, Canberra Times, 4 November 2014.

This is part 4 of the article series me and Elle started a few weeks ago. If I get good feedback from this article, I'll be posting more videos in the near future. Interstate CrossCheck is a serious problem and recently Kris Kobach, now a member of Trump "voter commission," requested detailed voter information from all states within the country. Nothing this man does should be taken lightly. He, Pence and the rest of the gang of charlatans are looking for a way to permanently rig the American voting process for some of the reasons I lay out in the video.
So watch this video, it isn't long, and tell me what you think about it. | 2019-04-21T00:25:09 | https://www.blackandintellectual.com/2017-6-30-voter-suppression-interstate-crosscheck-and-the-fall-of-american-democracy-part-4-of-4/ | [

I’m sorry, but I think you sent this message to the wrong person.
but if you didn’t, I’d like to thank you for your feedback and tell you that my blog isn’t intended to be a new Humans of New York telling stories about people’s lives.
My blog is focused on portraits and all I want to show is men’s beards and tell my visitors why those guys have beards or mustaches. That’s all.
I’ve never posted any videos on my blog and furthermore I don’t wish to transform my blog to an information heavy site. All I want is to entertain people with my pictures (that are not perfect, by the way) and short sentences. | 2019-04-19T15:12:55 | https://boysandbeards.com/2014/08/01/986/ | [

USR Sector 1 a publicat luni noi imagini cu stâlpii de susţinere ai Podului Constanţa, aflat pe Calea Griviţei din Capitală, care au fost acoperiţi cu ipsos, acuzând CFR, instituţia care ar trebui să se ocupe de reabilitarea podului, că "a mascat problemele structurale cu ipsos" şi "a spoit problemele grave" doar în urma presiunii publice. USR solicită publicarea expertizei tehnice realizată de Ministerul Transporturilor în luna februarie.
"(...) Singura instituţie abilitată de lege să execute lucrări de consolidare/reabilitare la acest obiectiv (Podul Constanţa, n.r.) este Compania Naţională de Cai Ferate CFR SA. Precizăm că singurul aviz solicitat în ultimii ani pentru Podul Constanţa a fost cel din 13 iulie 2017, când, la solicitarea Companiei Naţionale de Cai Ferate CFR SA, Primăria Municipiului Bucureşti a emis un aviz de intervenţie necesar executării unor "lucrări de îndepărtare a unor fragmente de beton care prin desprinderea lor pun în pericol participanţii la traficul rutier în zona Pod Constanţa (intersecţia Calea Griviţei cu sos. Chitilei - Bd Bucureştii Noi), lucrări ce urmau a fi executate de Compania Naţională de Cai Ferate CFR SA Bucureşti, sucursala regională Bucureşti - secţia L3 Bucureşti", a transmis săptămâna trecută PMB.

“We connect people. Period. That’s why all the work we do in growth is justified," an executive wrote in 2016.
A top Facebook executive wrote an internal memo in 2016 that defended the company’s growth as necessary and justified, even if the social network was used to bully someone to death or help plan a terrorist attack.
Bosworth acknowledged that he wrote the memo but said he no longer agrees with the post today and “didn’t agree with it even when I wrote it.” He is seen as an outspoken figure at Facebook, the outlet reported, known for being blunt.
The document showcases Facebook executives’ awareness of its power, both good and bad, years before the company was embroiled in controversy over the misuse of user data. Earlier this month, The New York Times reported that the data firm Cambridge Analytica misused the data of 50 million people, prompting calls for Facebook co-founder Mark Zuckerberg to testify before Congress.
Read the full memo at BuzzFeed News. | 2019-04-20T03:19:12 | https://www.huffpost.com/entry/facebook-memo-andrew-boz-bosworth_n_5abdace2e4b055e50acc8486 | [

I am only one individual American with no special position of government, political or financial power, but I represent a much broader power base that you may not understand or appreciate. While you may be receiving mixed signals from our current leaders, it is critical that you do not underestimate the American people, our commitment to individual liberty and our willingness to back up our convictions with whatever sacrifice is necessary. So, I am glad to have this opportunity to respond to your communication to me and my fellow Americans in your New York Times Op-Ed.
It is both ironic and fortuitous that you have chosen to exercise the most sacred right of all Americans, to communicate to us, the God given right to free speech. While we often take this and other critical rights, protecting individual freedom, for granted, it is the first example of why America is an exceptional country. We are exceptional because will fight just as hard for your right to free speech as we will for our own.
Unlike any other country in the world, America was founded on a set of ideals and laws permanently enshrined in our founding documents; the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution of the United States and The Bill of Rights. These laws spell out very clearly that “we the people” are in charge of our own destiny and they protect us from tyranny, even tyranny from our own government.
It is in this spirit of the first Amendment, that I welcome your explanation of your position on Syria, the United Nations, the prospect of America taking a military action against the Syrian government and even your lecture to us about the dangers of promoting American exceptionalism. I welcome this discussion, because in a free society a healthy open debate leads to better decisions and greater progress.
You obviously understand and respect the power of free speech, as you adroitly exercised it in your direct communication to the American public. It is a powerful force which is essential to democracy, but which can also be manipulated by the political masters of Machiavellian deception. Perhaps you can demonstrate your good intentions by having the courage and courtesy to extend my response to you, directly to the Russian public.
As you have witnessed, by the reaction of the American people to the prospect of another military intervention in the Middle East, Americans by nature are a peace loving people. But, please don’t make the mistake of interpreting our resistance to a poorly thought out plan, being promoted by our political leaders, as any indication of a lack of willingness to make whatever sacrifices that are necessary to protect against clear and present threats to the security interests of the United States and its allies.
You make a lot of very good points about why America should not make a military strike against Syria. Many of us, like you, do not believe that it makes sense for America to intervene in a foreign civil war where there are no clear objectives and where there is no clear and direct threat to the security interests of the US. It is not our role to be the policeman of the world, or to punish all the bad actors. However, it is our role to defend freedom and democracy whenever and wherever we can, without forcing it on people who are not ready for it, don’t understand it and don’t want it.
While our elected political leaders have not provided you, us or the many countries comprising the Mid-East region with a clear and unambiguous position, let me be very clear about the commitment of the American people. We will defend Israel as if it were Alaska. Any threats to Israel by Iran or any other country will be considered a direct threat to us and will be met with the full force and will of the American people.
There are many ways to advance the cause of freedom and military action should be a last consideration. We must be very careful with when and how we exercise the great power that we have. We prefer the Theodore Roosevelt foreign policy of “talk softly and carry a big stick”. In the meantime, we are committed to the policy of peace through strength, and we fully support building our military strength.
As the leader of the free world, America has an exceptional responsibility to protect and to advance the cause of individual freedom throughout the world. We remain the best hope in the world for the survival of individual freedom. We are an exceptional country not just because we are free but because we have demonstrated time after time over history, our willingness to sacrifice our own lives so that others throughout the world can enjoy the same freedoms that have made America a great country.
You make a good point about how America and Russia were once allies before we became cold war enemies. We need only to look at the historical relationship between the U.S. and Germany and the U.S. and Japan to recognize the immense potential of a positive relationship developing between Russia and America. It did not take very long for the bitterness of WWII’s arch enemies to give way to the rewards, success and friendship of free and open societies. The Marshall plan is a great example of how we might approach solving some of the great problems facing our world today, like a fair and peaceful solution to the Mid-East conflict. The evidence is overwhelming. Russia and the U.S. could be partners in progress. We have much more to unite us than we have to divide us. We face the same terrorist threats and the same concerns over nuclear proliferation. We have the same desire to advance our citizens with respect to their health, education and economic success. We all want to raise our families in peace and prosperity.
We also appreciate the founding purpose of the United Nations, but we have legitimate reasons to be skeptical of it, not the least of which, is the lack of its effectiveness, its socialistic leanings and the historical lack of cooperation between the U.S and Russia. It comes down to an issue of trust, and freedom, which goes to the heart of the American soul. We are fierce individualists. We believe that the power of government rests with the individual citizens who have a responsibility to exercise control over their government. The government is there to serve us, not to control us. Every time we, as individuals, give up power and personal responsibility to government entities we give up our individual liberties. The further away (local, state, national, and international) the governmental entity is, the worse the outcome and the harder it is to get the power back. Every time we give up our individual liberties we reduce progress for all humans.
We have had our own taste of socialism over the last few years under the leadership of President Obama, and it is a bitter and disappointing experience. Many of us view the United Nations as just another large bureaucratic, ineffective and unaccountable organization diluting the power of the American citizen and promoting anti-American sentiment throughout the world.
Speaking of accountability, America faces much larger challenges than Syria. Today, America is involved in a gigantic struggle for its own soul and its future. Will we embrace the concepts of maximum individual freedom, responsibility, independence and privacy like our founders envisioned or will we allow huge unaccountable bureaucracies to take our freedoms from us? Will we succumb to the bribery of low information voters with government handouts and the corruption of giant special interest lobbyists or will we stand up for truth and justice and our belief in self reliance and capitalism which are the core principles on which this great country was built?
Unfortunately our current President seems to agree with you about American Exceptionalism. He apologizes to the world for an America he should be proud of. Oh, he says the right words to us, but he acts just the opposite. He promises boldly what he knows he can’t deliver. He hides the truth and he supports the people who work for him, who lie in front of Congressional hearings. He does not respect the will of the American people and he disrespects the institutions that have been set up to protect us. He spends our grandchildren’s money with no sense of responsibility nor does he have any inkling of the horrendous impending consequences for America of his bad leadership. He attacks our energy independence, capitalism, free enterprise and the institutions that have made America great. He successfully divides America when he could easily be uniting it. Instead of celebrating the progress we have made on racial equality, he sows the seeds of discontent. He forces really bad laws (like Obamacare) on the public against their will. He is aided and abetted by a free press that has forgot and/or ignored their critical responsibilities to protect our democracy by demanding the truth wherever it leads. We have lost more freedoms to our internal enemies over the last five years than we have lost to our external enemies over the last 50 years.
So Mr. Putin, you see that we have a lot bigger problems that America needs to address instead of creating a new one by invading Syria. Fortunately, we are an exceptional country and the forces of freedom and responsibility will soon emerge with an even greater conviction to reestablish the rule of the people over our government. We are an exceptional country because we are protected by a Constitution and a Bill of Rights and a Declaration of Independence that very specifically limit the power of the federal government in favor of the individual and the States. We are an exceptional country because we recognize that our freedoms were given to us by our Creator and no government, religious organization or corporate bureaucracy has any right to take any of our freedoms away from us. Not even Prince Machiavelli himself. Be assured that we will put our own house in order and be the world leader that speaks clearly and unambiguously.
So please, don’t let the America you see today give you a false impression of weakness or lack of conviction. We are not happy with what has happened to America over the last five years. Democracy is imperfect and sometimes we vote with our hearts and not our heads. But America always gets it right in the long run and there is nothing more powerful than a united free people that finally figures out that they have been misled.
So now, President Putin, it’s time to, as we say in America, to “put your money where your mouth is”. The real world issues are nuclear proliferation, Iran, world-wide terrorism sponsored by Islamic terrorists, and world economic success. We need Russia to come together with America and guarantee that Iran will not get nuclear capability and that those countries that already have it will not allow it to be provided to others. Nuclear catastrophe remains the biggest threat to the world and you, President Putin, could become a world-wide hero by joining America and other peace loving countries to lead a grand plan to reduce the nuclear threat to humanity. I can only speak as an individual, but I believe a world wide effort led by Russia and America, starting with Iran, would be welcome by the American people. It is certainly a much better idea than spending trillions of dollars on future wars that will surely come if we don’t take aggressive action to solve this problem now. In the spirit of capitalism Russia and its people could benefit greatly by joining America as partners in peace. Given what happened to Japan and Germany, it’s really not that great of a leap to envision Russia and America coming together in peace and prosperity.
Finally, there may be a language misunderstanding with respect to “American exceptionalism.” We agree with you that as individuals we are all equal in the eyes of the Lord. None of us by nature are superior to the rest of us. We want the same things for our families as the people of any other country; security and the right to “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness”. These are natural rights of all humans and we have a responsibility to help all humans secure these rights. But this is not to be confused with socialism or communism which the vast majority of Americans do not believe in. While we believe in equal opportunity we do not believe in equal outcome. Every individual has the right to distinguish themselves (to become exceptional) through, hard work, education, perseverance, risk taking, individual choices and yes even luck. We believe in private property, capitalism, self-reliance and individual achievement and we encourage exceptionalism. Whether it’s academics, sports, business, music or community service, or our service to our country, we encourage and honor exceptionalism.
It is not dangerous to encourage people to see themselves as exceptional. It is only dangerous if they don’t earn it or deserve it. It’s like the Olympics. Every four years we get together to see, who the most exceptional athletes in the world compete. And every time we are amazed at how exceptional these athletes are. They are exceptional because they are talented, train hard and exercise discipline. This is a good thing to encourage and they deserve their gold metals, not to have them redistributed to those that were not exceptional. We do not encourage people to think of themselves as exceptional, because of their color or their political status, their connections or their ethnicity. To consider them exceptional they have to earn it.
America is exceptional for very different reasons. America is much more than a physical space with great natural resources. America is much more than a nation state with an exceptional history of fighting for the freedom of other nations thousands of miles away. America is an idea of individual liberty and personal responsibility that can help people throughout the world. America is a way of life, and a belief in the sovereignty of the individual. America is philosophy that is enshrined in our founding documents. America is exceptional because it is the best hope for freedom for the rest of the world. We are proud and exceptionally lucky to be Americans. We understand that our freedom is dependent on our ability to recognize and fulfill our responsibilities as individuals and as a country. We also understand that individual freedom can only be sustained to the degree that we exercise an equal level of responsibility as individuals and as a country.
Just as you say that “we must not forget that God created us equal” we must also remember that God gave to us as individuals the right to self-determination and there is no doubt that God did that with the expectation that we would use that right to become better human beings- perhaps even exceptional ones.

A Kanawha County Family Court judge is facing a battery charge following an incident at a Charleston hospital.
Charleston police arrested 61-year-old Mark Snyder on Monday night. He's accused of grabbing a nurse's arm and trying to drag her down a hallway at Charleston Area Medical General Hospital.
A criminal complaint says the nurse told police that Snyder was upset about the care of a patient he was visiting. The complaint says Snyder refused several requests to leave and was escorted out of the hospital by a security guard.
West Virginia's tax revenue slide is continuing as October's collections fell about $8 million below estimates.
Deputy revenue secretary Mark Muchow tells media outlets that collections of personal income, consumer sales and business and occupation taxes were all below estimates.
Personal income and consumer sales taxes are the state's biggest sources of tax revenue.
Natural gas production boosted severance tax collections above estimates. But Muchow says it wasn't enough to offset the declines.
The Mingo County Commission is expected to name a new county prosecutor and county commissioner this week.
Former prosecutor Michael Sparks and former Commissioner David Baisden resigned in October after they were charged in separate cases stemming from a corruption probe.
WSAZ-TV reports that the commission interviewed candidates to replace Sparks and Baisden on Monday. Commissioners plan to name a new prosecutor and magistrate at their meeting on Wednesday.
A judge called the inner workings of the Gene Spadaro Juvenile Center “concerning” after receiving a report from a court monitor for the Adjudicated Juvenile Rehabilitation Review Commission.
The Commission was established in June of 2011 to examine the operations and programs of the Division of Juvenile Services facilities across the state. Cindy Largent-Hill is a member of the commission and visited the Spadaro Juvenile Center in Fayette County Monday.
Judge Omar Aboulhosn heard what may be the last evidence in the case filed by Mountain State Justice against the Division of Juvenile Services.
Mountain State asked three juvenile residents to testify in an evidentiary hearing Tuesday in Kanawha County Circuit Court.
B.M., identified only by his initials for the court, is a juvenile resident of the Sam Perdue Juvenile Center in Princeton. He is one of the 25 residents relocated after Aboulhosn order the closure of the Harriet B. Jones Treatment Center in Salem over the summer.
In 1960, then-Senator and Presidential Candidate John F. Kennedy visited McDowell County, West Virginia and forged a bond with those living in the state's southern coalfields. It was a victory in West Virginia's Democratic primary that helped confirm his broad appeal to the rest of America. After winning the presidential election, Kennedy exposed the rest of the country to the perils of poverty that faced the region. In this article, USA Today reports on the way Kennedy's assassination has resonated with those living in southern West Virginia, the way things were then, and how they are now.
A hearing in Kanawha County Circuit Court will determine whether or not juvenile residents of state facilities will see a difference in the way grievances are handled and an increase in educational opportunities.
Mercer County Judge Omar Aboulhosn will be presented a proposed agreement between the Division of Juvenile Services and Mountain State Justice, a Charleston based public interest law firm whose lawsuit against the division resulted in the closure of the Salem Industrial Home for Youth and later the Harriet B. Jones Treatment Center.
Former Arkansas governor and Fox News host Mike Huckabee made a stop in West Virginia to help energize the state Republican Party during a fundraiser Friday night.
An evening that started with state GOP Chairman Conrad Lucas poking fun at an array of federal indictments coming from Mingo County, all against Democratic leaders, transitioned to focus on what Huckabee called the true message of the Republican party—valuing every life based on inherent worth given by God and not status.
The Washington Post breaks down West Virginia's transition from being a state that has traditionally favored Democrats to becoming more and more likely to vote Republican.
The West Virginia Public Service Commission got an earful from Eastern Panhandle electric customers unhappy with Potomac Edison’s billing practices during a public hearing Wednesday evening and Thursday morning in Shepherdstown, W.Va.
Customers are upset because last winter and spring they received estimated monthly bills that were much higher than normal. In some cases the electric company did estimated readings several months in a row. Delegate Stephen Skinner (D-Jefferson) was among those who spoke during the hearing.
Only days into the 2013 Legislative session, it became obvious to those eyeing the halls of the state Capitol it would be the year of Education Reform. With the passage of the governor’s bill, immediate steps were taken to improve student achievement, but some steps couldn’t be implemented so quickly. Legislators are still learning how they can help improve early childhood education in West Virginia.
How much do we know about drilling horizontal wells?
The Horizontal Well Control Act of 2011 required studies be conducted to gain a more profound understanding of all that's entailed in the natural gas drilling that's sweeping northern West Virginia. Those reports are coming due, and legislators are hearing from scientists who have been looking into the matter.
Two major reports are being discussed in Charleston this week. One looks at air and noise pollution, while another considers water use related to Horizontal Well drilling.
A company involved in the problematic federal health care exchange website has a contract to design a system to manage West Virginia state government accounts.
CGI Group subsidiary CGI Federal is the developer of the complex U.S. government website that's been hit by technical problems, resulting in long waits for Americans to sign up for health insurance under the Affordable Care Act.
Can the DOH take over the state turnpike?
The governor, the legislature, even a special commission on highways are all looking for ways to fund state roads. A select committee on Infrastructure is trying to find ways to save money and increase efficiencies by combining the Division of Highways and the governing authority of the state’s Turnpike, but simply combining the two would create serious legal implications for the state. | 2019-04-18T20:25:49 | https://www.wvpublic.org/term/government?page=188 | [

The use of certain common medications could delay the recovery of patients with a brain or spinal cord injury, says a research team at the University of East Anglia and other universities in the United Kingdom. The findings were published on August 9, 2015, in the journal Brain Injury.
Researchers examined medications with anticholinergic properties which are prescribed to up to one-half of older adults for conditions such as depression, insomnia, and bladder problems. Antocholinergics are known to have side effects such as dizziness, confusion, and temporary cognitive impairment, but researchers say this study was the first to look at the effects of antocholinergics on people with pre-existing brain and spinal injuries. Clinicians in neuro-rehabilitation units often prescribe medications with anti-cholinergic properties for a variety of symptoms from pain to urinary incontinence.
Researchers studied 52 patients who had acquired brain or spinal cord injuries at a neuro-rehabilitation unit. Patients who had higher levels of anticholinergic medications in their bodies had a longer average hospital stays.
The state of having higher levels of anticholinergic drugs in a body is known as the anticholinergic drug burden, or ACB. A higher ACB score in patients on discharge, when compared to levels on admission, were associated with longer hospital stays and patients with lower ACB scores had shorter hospital stays on average. The team cautioned, however, that the research was an observational study, which means that they cannot imply a cause-and-effect relationship between hospital stays and ACB scores.

some of you may know. And for those who do not I play several different instruments I play the Piano I can strum a feud turns on a guitar (not very good) can play the drums very well, but most of all I can play the Scottish Bagpipes.
I actually used to play in a bagpipe band for North Miami Beach Senior High, in full battlefield Scottish Kilt.
I am one third Irish, the last time I played the pipe and dressed and might kill was at my mom's funeral 11/21/2002 the song I piped out was "Amazing Grace" although I am not very religious as a matter of fact I do not believe in religion at all sorry that is my personal feeling, and after that I don't think I will ever played the pipes again.
The few days after her funeral I took my kilt and my pipes in a quiet ceremony by myself and burned them.
People wonder why I am so depressed through the holiday's,... I have buried too many friends and family and people that are very very close to me through the months of October and November.
all starting with my fiancé Durand Lewis, on the way to our wedding when I was 19 was hit by a drunk driver and lost her life in the accident.
But this is not only goes out to her, but also goes out to every individual all around the world who has laid down their life so we as humans can sleep in peace, I think all of the brave souls all of the firefighters, policemen and women, and soldiers who put their lives on the line for us every day so we can enjoy a our freedoms are holidays and our loved ones.
Words can't say what needs to be said, so in turn, please accept this tight warm hug. | 2019-04-25T18:26:10 | https://inkbunny.net/j/3315 | [

Can prednisone cause blurred vision and numbness in feet?
Been on 20ng per day prednisone for PMR for 5 months. Toes have started going numb and vision blurring. Can these be side affects of prednisone? When finally get weaned off prednisone, will these problems go away?
The only side effect that I got out of prednisone was getting very close to osteoporosis which my rheumatologist fixed with an injection twice a year of Prolia which is a bone reconstructive agent.
I was taking 55mgs of prednisone and 6 months had passed when I got bronchitis and asthma. I was hospitalized and I had a big pain on my side which I thought was because of the coughing. The doctor said it was 3 fractured ribs and they called my rheumatologist and she ordered a bone scan with urgency and it was the prednisone. Five years have passed and now I am taking 5mgs of prednisone daily. Ribs healed but I have been getting better with acupuncture for preventing stress. Stress aggravates polymyalgia.This was informed to me by Dr Ayala. He is my acupuncturist and he is a doctor MD too. Try to be calm and relaxed. I used to take tramadol too but now I don't.
The only thing I cannot leave is the prednisone. As soon as I try to quit I go into bad pain and immobility again so I keep up with it and take the injection. I did gain a lot of weight but I don't care about it anymore. I can move and I can do my things without help and I love that ;so who cares I am fat. On my first year with this illness I was almost an invalid. Had to cut my hair because I could not raise my arms very well to comb myself. My husband did not know how to do anything with my long hair. There is hope, do not despair. Looks bad in the beginning but you get better with time. The blurred vision and the numbness on your feet could be diabetes. Check with your doctor. My rheumatologist told me to go on a diet as soon as I started prednisone, she said that it can raise your sugar and cause diabetes if you don't eat well. I know my sugar went up in the coming years but still not enough to be diabetic.
I had blurry vision and a good deal of swelling to the face which included the eyes. I had neuropathy in my feet only. I asked to switch to methylprednisolone and everything changed for me. I have been on steroids for 4 1/2 years and am finally down to 0.5 mg. The trip down was tedious.
Finally almost there. I hope this helps you. I know, it’s tough. Best of luck.

Call for entries for the CYNETart award 2006 international competition for computer-based art.
CYNETart has been showing new trends of cultural developments in the media arts since 1997. The consequences of the prevailing progress of civilisation and the introduction of new information technologies in all fields of social life lead to the disembodiment of perception triggering the examination of a new sensitivity for physical experience and for the perception of one&8217;s own body.
The international festival focuses on the changed perception of the body caused by new information technologies. At this, the performance of the new technologie is less important, it is rather about their cultural potential for mediation. This applies f.i. to linkages between existential questions of humankind and their perception.
It also applies to a more sensual approach to scientific methods of research and the interconnections between the arts.
CYNETart_06humane is devoted to the theme of Body-images – Image-body :: the bred, contstructed, staged, cultivated, homemade and self-designed human being.
The submitted project focuses on the integrated body and its medial “embodiment” in dance pieces, installations, computer games or performances. The transposition is using suitable interfaces and software (f.i. camera motion sensing-systems), which allow for the realtime linkage of physical movement with auditory/visual processes.
You may submit strategies or blueprints which understand the net as extended social interaction/cooperation; utopian drafts of societies with the inherent attempt to include them into active social life. How is technological and intellectual knowledge applied to the practice of an electronic culture of awareness?
audio processing, visual processing sound design :: Netzmusik :: audio-visual compositions :: vj-performances Digital processing, alteration, linkage or process generation are topical parts of the work.
You may submit sound compositions, audio-visual compositions, performance applications (f.i. in the field of vj-ing), or applications with an open structure.
Your work focuses on the presentation on a monitor or a screen. The category subsumes alternative streams of narration such as graphics, video pieces and DVD productions from the fields of internet, design and film, and also software tools which go beyond the daily use of standard menu applications. Transcategorial projects are welcome and can be submitted. However, please choose a category according to the main focus of the project. | 2019-04-19T15:19:05 | http://www.neme.org/blog/cynetart-festival | [

Amazingly, half of all Americans say they don’t care about government surveillance — and during a random sampling of people on the streets of New York City not one could identify Edward Snowden, or what he did.
That’s despite an Academy Award winning documentary on his release of classified documents about the spying activities of a National Security Agency called Citizenfour.
The government is collecting data from you all the time. From your phone, computer, tablet, credit cards, travel records and more. We know they are doing this because of former NSA contractor Edward Snowden.
John Oliver traveled to Moscow where Snowden, wanted by the U.S government, has asylum for the next three years. There he interviewed Snowden in an attempt to find out why more Americans don’t care about the government spying on their personal lives.
Based on Snowden’s explanation of the government’s spying activities, here are five basic questions every American should ask themselves about the NSA surveillance program.
1. Do you want the government to collect your data (including your naked pictures)?
According to Oliver, Pew Research found that 46 percent of Americans say they don’t care about government surveillance. Why? It’s too complicated and technical to try to trace the life cycle of a text message. Hilariously Oliver tries to put the issue into terms Americans will care about — whether or not the government has access to your naked pictures. Once everyday folks heard the argument in those terms, they got interested in the debate pretty fast.
“I did this [released secret NSA spying information] to give the American people the chance to decide for themselves what kind of government they want to have,” Snowden tells Oliver.
Do you want a government that hoards your most scandalous communications?
2. Why did the government lie about its spying activity?
On June 1, 2015, key provisions of the Patriot Act are set to expire, including the controversial Section 215 provision, which has been interpreted by a FISA Court to mean that the government has the authority to collect comprehensive data on its citizens.
Prior to the Snowden revelations about programs like PRISM, American government officials — including President Obama — said the government was collecting only basic phone and internet records, like when a call was made and to whom (metadata), rather than the actual content of the conversation. Snowden proved that’s just not true.
The Snowden documents showed that the government was collecting and storing the content of Americans’ communications too, like emails, phone calls, internet searches and text and chat messages, rather than just basic call record information.
Worse yet, it’s not just being looked at; it’s being stored in monster government data centers in Utah, in case it needs to be looked at in the future. So if you want to play a semantics game, they aren’t actively looking at it, just saving a copy in case they need to later. Does that make you feel any better about it?
3. Can you trust the government with this kind of power?
Mobile phone data provides an incredibly detailed account of your life — your location, who you call, emails, text messages, internet searches, online shopping habits. Combine that level of detailed data contained in your credit card records, home and work emails and internet searches, and that’s a pretty freaky accurate representation of who you are, where you’ve been, with whom and what you were doing. But not totally accurate.
Your phone data might put you in a mall food court at the same time as a terrorist, but does that mean you’re a terrorist too? What if you just both happen to love Orange Julius and soft pretzels?
Now, imagine in the future the government charges you with a crime. Any crime, really. Doesn’t matter which. For belonging to the wrong religion. For being too friendly with someone the government doesn’t like. Happens all the time around the world. Rather than the government having to collect evidence about your crime to prove your guilt, it’ll already have a pile of information on you it can use however it chooses. No warrant. Nada.
We might be cool with all of this surveillance capability being used against the terrorists, but what if it’s turned on Americans one day?
So do you trust them?
4. How do we balance privacy and safety?
The Patriot Act was conceived amidst the fear following the Sept. 11 attacks on the U.S. But even one of the primary authors of the Patriot Act, Wisconsin Congressman Jim Sensenbrenner, testified that the legislation was never intended to authorize the bulk collection and storage of the communications of U.S. citizens and that its powers should be reined in when the Patriot Act is reauthorized this summer.
Government officials argue that this kind of surveillance is critical for fighting terrorists and those who would do America and Americans harm. That sounds totally reasonable and fair. But with programs like PRISM and other surveillance activity Americans have no idea is going on, how can we have a debate and balance the idea of security against the idea of liberty?
How much privacy are we willing to give up for less security risk?
5. Are you on a watch list?
At the end of the interview, Snowden gives John Oliver a pretty ominous warning — that by interviewing him, Oliver is likely now on a very serious, very scary U.S. government watch list. The idea of a watch list is discussed in more frightening detail in the Academy Award-winning documentary about Snowden, Citizenfour.
Americans are put on watch lists all the time, which brings increased scrutiny of communications, increased surveillance and, when traveling out of the country, often problems getting your passport cleared across international borders without intense questioning. But how do you know if you’ve done something to raise the government’s suspicions about your activity? Am I on a watch list just for writing this article? Are you for reading it? How would we know? It’s a secret.
The principles of transparency and checks and balances the U.S. government is founded on demand that citizens be informed about these kinds of government activities. Whether you view Snowden as a hero or a traitor, as he says, now you know what your government is doing in our name. Do you care? Does it bother you? We should be allowed to have this debate and make an informed decision one way or the other.
In the meantime, John Oliver and his team of brillant writers have distilled the argument down to this: Do you want the government to have a picture of you naked? | 2019-04-26T14:04:05 | https://www.sheknows.com/living/articles/1080342/questions-john-oliver-edward-snowden-want-you-to-ask-yourself/ | [

不要按汉语虽然……但是……的表达习惯,在 although 后连用 but.如: 虽然天很冷,但我们还是去了那儿. 正:Although it was cold, we went there. 误:Although it was cold, but we went there.
◎他决定放弃这个计划. 误:He decided to abandon up the plan. 正:He decided to abandon the plan. 析:动词 abandon(放弃,抛弃,遗弃)通常不与副词 up 连用.比较:give up the plan(放弃计划).

asleep是表语形容词,所以一般不能单独放在名词前作定语: 正:The baby is asleep. 这婴儿是睡着的. 误:Look at the asleep baby. 正:Look at the sleeping baby. 瞧这个睡觉的婴儿. 【注】asleep 虽不能单独放在名词前作前位定语,但有时却可放在名词后作后置定语,另外若它本身受到状语修饰,则也可以放在名词前作定语.
maybe 副词,意为可能也许,通常用于句首,有时也放在句中或句末；may be 是情态动词may加动词be,意为可能是、可能在等.比较以下各组句子,含义相同,但结构不同: 你也许是对的.

◆在这次车祸中有五个人丧生. 误:Five people were killed in the car incident. 正:Five people were killed in the car accident. 析:incident 主要指普通的小事件, 也可指暴力性的政治事件；而 accident 则指偶然的不幸事件(即指事故).

A group called American Humane says a leaked video was “deliberately edited for the purpose of misleading the public and stoking outrage."
American Humane, the group responsible for overseeing animal safety on film sets, has cleared the movie “A Dog’s Purpose” of allegations of animal cruelty.
Controversy erupted after a behind-the-scenes clip, which appeared to show a German Shepherd forced into rushing water, leaked in January.
An independent, third-party investigation conducted by a respected animal cruelty expert into the treatment of animals in the filming of “A Dog’s Purpose” concluded that an edited video given to the gossip site TMZ mischaracterized the events on the set. The decisions by the individual or individuals who captured and deliberately edited the footage, and then waited longer than 15 months to release the manipulated video only days before the movie’s premiere, raise serious questions about their motives and ethics.
The video was “deliberately edited for the purpose of misleading the public and stoking outrage,” the company said, noting that the clip features two scenes that were filmed at different times.
The findings are consistent with what the film’s animal trainers said all along.
Despite the controversy (and some poor reviews) the film still managed to debut at No. 2 at the box office with $18.4 million in its opening weekend. | 2019-04-25T16:22:00 | https://www.huffpost.com/entry/no-animals-were-harmed-on-a-dogs-purpose-according-to-american-humane_n_58960850e4b0c1284f263eb3 | [

My wife would prefer I not go to a talk by someone who wrote so extensively about adultery.
If updike brought even a tenth of the genius to writing his lecture as he brought to the line ‘his hands were like wild birds’ we’d be in for a real treat.
Grease-gray and kind of coiled.
Also I think the whole Russell’s-paradox thing is getting old, and that keeping Updike in the game will make next round’s battle against Nietzsche more fun. And, one more thing: Updike’s got the basketball connection. Can you imagine Bertrand Russell playing hoops? I don’t think so.
Hey, how did Derrida even make it into the second round?? There must’ve been some mistake.
Derrida’s last victory was an aporia. It was also Derrida’s last victory. By which I mean it was a victory for his mechanical foot. But is it a vic(tory) or are we all vic(tims)? I could go on like this for another hour, which shows how masturbatory Derrida’s technique is. Not that I’m actually masturbating at the moment. Not that there would be anything wrong with that. Carlin, please.
Carlin. How many times as Derrida hosted Saturday Night Live?
When we read of Derrida’s death, my friends and I breathed a sigh of relief. When we heard of Carlin’s death four years later, we chatted about how he changed the way we thought about ourselves, each other, and the world. I suspect our reactions would be the same at the conclusion of each respective proposed seminar.
Andrew, salvage whoever you like from the previous eliminations. This round is irrelevant. | 2019-04-23T16:07:50 | https://statmodeling.stat.columbia.edu/2015/03/21/george-carlin-2-vs-jacques-derrida/ | [

Please select a ticket, but hope that it works.
AGGRIEVED passengers are emerging winners in challenges to fines handed out by Yarra Trams ticket inspectors.
The company withdrew almost a third of 10,609 fines contested by passengers in the year to February.
The Public Transport Users Association said yesterday many people never challenged fines because they felt they had little hope of winning.
"Who knows how many people never bothered to write in and contest a fine because they didn't think it was worth it," association president Daniel Bowen said.
When tram passengers are given an infringement notice by an inspector, it is ultimately passed to the Department of Infrastructure, which decides whether a fine will be imposed.
"The percentage of infringement notices contested by letter has fallen in recent years," a department spokesman said.
"The overwhelming majority of public transport patrons do the right thing and pay the appropriate fare for their journey."
Of 65,587 tickets issued to tram travellers in the year to February, 10,609 were con- tested, with 3382 ultimately withdrawn, most with a warning issued.
Only 213 travellers got off without even a warning notice.
Of all those fined on trams last year for not having a valid ticket, only 346 people went to court to fight.
The department would not say how many people who contested fines in court were successful, but sources in the department said that last year not one court challenge to a ticket had been successful.
Across the entire transport network, 162,733 fines were issued for ticket and behavioural offences in the year to February.
This was a substantial increase on recent years. In 2005, around 125,000 fines were issued for fare evasion.
"We know that fare evasion continues to be a major problem, so I'm not surprised there are so many fines across a year," Mr Bowen said.
Metlink head Bernie Carolan said the thousands of warnings sent out to those passengers that had challenged tickets did not mean that ticket inspectors had made a mistake.
"We hope that the recipients of such warnings still learn from the experience," Mr Carolan said. | 2019-04-20T00:21:43 | http://railbotforum.org/mbs/index.php?topic=706.0 | [

The Janadirya National Women Development Foundation had made us aware of the following two schools in the Hambantota district in Southern Sri Lanka. We met the principal and teachers of these two schools, and they introduced specifically those children to us, whose lives were changed forever by the tsunami.
Many of the breadwinners of families who live further inland had made the journey to the markets in the coastal cities on December 26, 2004, which was a Sunday and a holiday, and they were surprised and killed by the tsunami, leaving their broken families without income.
We decided to support these children and their families individually, as well as the needs of their schools, i.e. schoolbooks, school uniforms, water supply, since they were poor and under equipped already before the tsunami. | 2019-04-26T08:31:11 | https://www.realmedicinefoundation.org/our-work/countries/sri-lanka/initiatives/pallemalala-vidyalaya-school/ | [

Checking up on the hybrid front, I found that the Acura ILX hybrid for 2014 is finally on sale, as of Tuesday, and an Accord hybrid, which I didn’t even know about, goes on sale at the end of this month. Unfortunately, Honda’s main vehicle Web sites didn’t tell me that — I had to dig through press releases. (This underscores the incompetence of automaker management; can you think of a technology company that would put a product on sale before their Web site had any information about it?) Hyundai is still running behind on nearly their whole lineup, including the Sonata hybrid.
Meanwhile, I’m still thinking about that 370Z that I’m probably not going to buy. I wasted a couple of hours searching on Nissan’s (awful) Web site to see which dealers actually had the model I was interested in; there are four dealers that have them, all in red and black, none with autobox, so there’s no chance I’ll end up test-driving one (unless there’s someone in New Hampshire or Rhode Island that has one). I might go find the nearest 6MT, which is in Stoneham, just to see if I can even fit in the thing, and maybe talk to a salesperson about why they’re so limited around here. Note to automakers: don’t make me select each one of thirty different dealers to find out that they don’t have what I’m interested in, just tell me which f’ing dealer does, and how far away they are.

Erin Baldassari, writing for the Mercury News, reports that Jonathan Bernbaum was 34 when he died in the Ghost Ship fire. Jonathan’s father, Ed, is trying to do his part to answer the need for spaces for artists by starting an ambitious effort with neighbor Beth Jay and architect Tom Dolan. The nonprofit, named Vital Arts, will raise funds from the Bay Area’s tech sector to support safe living/work spaces for artists in Oakland—because, after all, it is largely the tech sector that has driven rents up so high that most local artists can no longer afford them.
The money will be used to purchase buildings for living and working in or provide safety enhancements to landlords that agree to maintain buildings as rental spaces for low- and moderate-income artists.
The wildly innovative and resourceful San Francisco-based Community Arts Stabilization Trust (CAST), which NPQ has previously covered, will act as a fiscal sponsor for Vital Arts. CAST has a remarkable track record in helping to retain and create arts facilities in combination with local established arts nonprofits but some of the groups in Oakland are a newish proposition.
CAST recently began working with the city of Oakland to develop a program to provide technical and financial assistance for arts and cultural organizations. Many of those organizations are informal art collectives that often operate as de facto nonprofits, Levin said, prompting CAST to become increasingly focused on supporting these sometimes amorphous groups.
There is no doubt that live/work spaces have been endangered since the fire. One collective of artists and performers, known as the Castle von Trapp, will imminently lose its West Oakland compound after the cost and logistical challenges of making a bid on the property proved too challenging for the collective. Still, the collective plans to move forward together.
Eventually, Dolan envisions a network of collectives that can share resources and knowledge, beginning in Oakland and spreading across the bay to San Francisco with Vital Arts ultimately serving as a model for collectives across the country.
Since 1969, the Painted Bride Art Center in Philadelphia has provided a home for groundbreaking artists of every stripe. But can it remain relevant in the city’s arts scene without a building to its name? | 2019-04-25T13:56:01 | https://nonprofitquarterly.org/2017/06/21/father-ghost-ship-fire-victim-makes-artist-livework-buildings-mission/ | [

After the media caught wind of the poll, it suspiciously disappeared from the group’s website.
New polling data from a Pro-Trump organization reveals that the Trump administration’s anti-marijuana policies are widely opposed by voters. Most, according to the data, believe that individual states should be given the freedom to determine their own marijuana policies.
This poll was conducted by America First Policies, a non-profit organization that openly exists to financially support Trump’s platform. The organization does this by taking advantage of a controversial Supreme Court ruling—widely referred to as “Citizens United“—which allows corporations to funnel massive amounts of money into politics.
America First Policies hired pollsters to examine policies that are popular and unpopular with both Democratic and Republican voters. These polls include everything from voters’ opinions on the Trump administration’s reaction to the controversial book “Fire and Fury” to support for building the President’s proposed border wall between Mexico and the U.S.
The existence of this recent polling memo was first uncovered by CNBC. After the news contacted America First Policies about it, the organization removed the results from their website. However, Marijuana Moment obtained the organization’s recent polling memo. The poll found that 53% of respondents oppose the Department of Justice instructing U.S. Attorneys to interfere with state-legal cannabusinesses. These results were based on the polling of 1,200 voters.
Supporters cheer as US President Donald Trump travels through West Palm Beach, Florida, on December 10, 2017.
“By nearly a 2-to-1 margin, voters believe states should be allowed to individually determine whether or not to legalize marijuana (60%), over the federal government determining the legality (31%),” the memo reportedly reads.
The America First Policies poll found bi-partisan support for individual states’ autonomy in deciding their own marijuana laws, with slightly higher support from Democrats than Republicans. A past survey from the same group found even more support for marijuana policies among voters.
If you combine the poll’s findings about the percentage of voters who believe “marijuana should be legal for medical or recreational purposes” (43%) and those who believe marijuana should be legal for medical purposes, but not recreational purposes (39%), the result is a whopping 82% of voters who believe in some form of legalization. By contrast, only 13% of respondents supported marijuana prohibition. | 2019-04-25T06:25:10 | https://herb.co/news/legalization/america-first-policies-poll-marijuana-legalization-sessions/ | [

The UN has declared that asylum is an inalienable human right, and most countries offer it. The principle is that nations should safeguard people who face persecution or danger when their countries can not or do not want to protect them. There have long been debates about who deserves the sanctuary, but today discord is going deeper. In the wake of violence in the Middle East and Afghanistan and parts of Africa and Central America, the number of asylum seekers has risen to record levels. While most of them are hosted by neighboring countries, a crackdown on refugees in the United States and Europe is raising doubts that support for the asylum concept can survive.
The total number of refugees has increased steadily since 2012, to 19.9 million by the middle of 2018, fueling the antipathy towards strangers in some host countries. Of the 1.9 million new refugee status applicants in 2017, the United States had the largest number – 332,000, with 43% coming from Central America, where gang violence has become widespread. US President Donald Trump has joined his offer to suppress immigration with an effort to radically remodel the nation's asylum system. It has banned entry to citizens of six countries, five of them mostly Muslims, and has reduced the number of refugees who can be admitted to the United States to 30,000, a historical minimum. His administration has excluded asylum for people fleeing domestic violence and gangs, and for those who have illegally crossed the US border with Mexico. It imposed a policy of detaining anyone who was illegally caught while crossing the border, including those seeking refugee status. The parents were separated from their children, causing a public protest that led Trump to back down. In October, Trump threatened to cut foreign aid to Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador in retaliation for a so-called caravan of migrants traveling through Mexico to the United States. In the European Union, the resentment for the influx of refugees has led leaders to consider creating holding centers, probably in Africa, to manage asylum seekers. Officials have discouraged groups from saving such people in the Mediterranean Sea. Hungary, led by populist Prime Minister Viktor Orban, has made it a crime to help migrants seek asylum.
The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees affirms that the concept of asylum is one of the "first distinctive signs of civilization", citing references to it in texts of 3,500 years. The word derives from the ancient Greek word for freedom from seizure. A 1951 UN Convention on the Status of Refugees and its 1967 Protocol are the modern legal framework for asylum, which defines refugees as persons who can prove to be persecuted at home on the basis of race, religion, nationality, political conviction or social group. Agreements in Europe, Africa and South America have broadened the definition by including those fleeing generalized violence. Among today's refugees, Syrians are the largest group. They are fleeing a civil war, like the Afghans and South Sudanese who make up the closest groups. Among the victims of the persecution there are Christians who escape forced conversion to Islam in the Arab countries and Rohingya, a Muslim ethnic group in Myanmar fleeing the abuse of their fellow countrymen. Asylum applications worldwide amounted to 1.9 million in 2017. The United States presented the largest number of new applicants, with 43% coming from Central America. In 2017, around 732,500 asylum applications were accepted, and a little more – 754,100 – were rejected globally. Asylum was used as a political tool, as when Americans welcomed Cubans and Vietnamese who sought refuge from communism. Requests for safe haven by gay, bisexual and transgender people have increased in recent years.
Attacks in Europe and the United States by assassins linked or inspired by foreign jihadist groups have generated the fear that future terrorists will hide among those who seek refuge. Critics of pro-asylum policies also fear that the hiring of refugees can lead to higher rates of crime and unemployment. Trump administration officials have claimed that the asylum system is abused by scammers. Other critics of the asylum assessments in the United States say that they are so arbitrary that they amount to "refugee roulette". This has promoted the development of a cottage-like industry to provide refuge seekers with compelling personal stories that may be exaggerated or false. Defenders of the control process say it is rigorous, even if no system is infallible. Asylum advocates stress the universal obligation to protect the vulnerable and observe that many of the people that nationalists like Trump would keep out were fleeing terrorism. The debate on asylum in the United States and Europe can overshadow the fact that the burden of hosting refugees around the world lies more with the poorer countries closer to major conflicts, such as Turkey, Pakistan and Uganda. . | 2019-04-23T10:56:35 | https://www.archynewsy.com/refugees-and-asylum-the-washington-post/ | [

When your young and at your first dance, and your sitting on a small gilt chair with your eyes lowered, terrified that you'll be a wall flower. Suddenly, you see two black shoes, a white waist coat, a face, it speaks.
-Anna (The King and I)- Shall we dance?
On a bright cloud of music shall we fly? Shall we dance?
The King and I is one of my favorite movies and while I love the remake starring Jodie Foster the original version starring Yul Brynner and Deborah Kerr remains my favorite version. The scene where he asks her to dance is one of my favorite. I have never donned a ball gown nor slipped my foot into a fancy dancing slipper but I always imagined those were my feet tripping across the floor to the lively tune of Shall We Dance. Having recently watched The King and I while sick I was inspired by the dance scene and imagined my own version of a dancing slipper that Anna might have worn to dance with her king.
This soft sculpted fabric collage shoe is my latest piece of artwork. I have begun working in a series exploring making sculpted fabric collage pieces. The demitasse cup and saucer from my last post was my first experiment and this dancing slipper, which is completely handmade, is my second. My daughter said if she had not seen me make it in stages she would have sworn it was a real shoe!
Thank you all so much for the sweet well wishes and prayers for my mother and myself. I am still battling a nasty cold and my mother, well, the situation is not good. We are trying to wade through the proper medical channels to get a correct diagnosis and if our suspicions are true we have some long and difficult days ahead. I so appreciate all your thoughts and prayers.
On a brighter note, speaking of new romance as in the song above, romance is afoot here at the Quill. The young man who comes to call on Darling Daughter asked her to be his bride and to dance through life at his side!!! We are beyond excited and wedding bells will be chiming in June!
I hope your day is a bright cloud of music upon which you too fly!
I hope you can get a diagnosis for your mom soon. And what exciting news a wedding. Beautiful shoe! and gorgeous pics.
I too hope you get a diagnosis soon for your Mom. Your collage pieces are simply stunning and they do look as if they are the "real" thing! Congrats on your daughter's upcoming wedding!! Have a wonderfully creative day.
I'm so sorry about your Mom. My mother is very frail and declining rapidly, so I understand your fears and worries.
And lastly, I love The King and I, as well. I've been in it twice, once playing Lady Thiang, and once playing Anna. This was many years ago!
Still, to the day, no matter what other roles I played in my many years as an actress, my father always said "You know I liked you best in The King and I." Makes me smile.
The shoe is absolutely gorgeous.
Sigh... I think I could be Cinderella with that shoe!
Sending sunshine your way, Sandy!
And congrats to the bride! A Wedding in June- oh joy!
Your shoe creation is beautiful.
I too hope you get a diagnosis soon for your mom. You both are in my prayers.
I cannot believe you made the slipper!! You have so much talent Sandy, you amaze me everytime. The slipper is just beautiful. I love that movie too (older version)but I have a soft spot for the older movies.
I am so sorry to hear that your Mother and you are ill.I am praying for you both, dear friend.
Thank you for sharing your precious slipper and other news with us. Please take care of yourself.
Many blessings of good health are being sent your way.
I've been through this with my mother and my in-laws. I know how difficult it is. My sympathies are with you. Your shoe collage is just beautiful. So delicate and lacey.
MY goodness, I would of thought your shoe was real. I love it so much, what a fantastic job.
Amazing, so lovely. And i remember the song from the king and I. I took my little brother and Sister to the movie. I loved the big skirts on the dresses she wore.
Life has such wide swings...concern for your mother on the one hand and great joy for your daughter. All the very best to the happy couple and I'm so excited, too, because I know that you'll document it all so very well.
Now I'm humming this song and John will probably wish to wring my neck. I'll blame you, of course. I love the original version, too.
Your blog always offers a beautiful visit. So wishing that things will go well for your Mother and I know there is much excitement in store for you and your daughter.
If i were cinderella I would prefer your shoe instead of the glass slipper.
You made it look fantasic like usual.
I hope you can get a diagnosis for your mom soon. I am sending happy thoughts your way!
Well the shoe certainly fits my taste! i love the lace, it is so very elegant..gorgeous...a wonderful creation!
I am your newest follower..and I just wanted to congratulate your Somerset 'exposure' for that is where i found you!
Come by and visit with me anytime.
I crochet and make tea cup sculptures too...we'll have a blast sharing our creative worlds!
So sorry to hear about you mom Sandy - I hope you get it all solved and soon get a diagnose.
Congrat with you daughter and the upcoming wedding - how wonderful.
Love you shoe project- it´s so pretty and wonderful.
Ok, this is beautiful and that's all there is to it. Love the colors and the textures in combination with the soft style of it. Great piece!
Just stunning! I'm beyond words. My hands would not allow me the nimbleness of working the threads as you do! Or maybe it's the brain behind the hands that I have trouble with! Ha!
But congratulations and the very warmest blessings to the engaged couple!
I am keeping your dear mother in prayer my friend.
I must say the original King and I all the way for me as well.
The slipper~ well it is fit for a princess.
Oh Sandy This Is Lovely! Truly a Slipper made for a Princess or Queen!I Love the King and I as well. A Wonderful Movie.
I hope this finds you Getting Well and You and Your Dear Mother will be in my Prayers.
congratulations with your daughter, may she live happily in her new (june) life.
As for your mother, it makes me very sorry for all of you, I hope they can soon start treating her, medically.
And you, dear friend,-you are a so amazingly creator, -this shoe is surely a fairytale shoe, and so beautifully made- and so wonderfull presented, Sandy.
Sandy, I haven't been reading blogs much this past week, have been so busy myself and am sorry to read that your mother's health may be worse than you thought. Please know that my heart is heavy for you.
And the shoes...truly...you made them? I thought they were purchased shoes you had decorated!
Making 3D items is NOT easy! Nor were the boxes! The boxes...fiddly work until the decorating of them begins! But the shoe in this post...oh my! Exquisite! Inspiring! If you sell them, they will fly! | 2019-04-23T16:13:26 | http://quillcottage.blogspot.com/2011/01/shall-we-dance.html | [

I have a mind that refuses to be linear. My spasmodic thoughts love to jump around from past to future to present. I wanted to contribute to the blog on the most infectious songs of the year, but my head has recently been stuck in 2008. So, I shall share with the throng of NoCleanSinging readers some of my favorite, most infectious metal songs of that year. These pandemic tunes are sure to burrow themselves into your brain and inject slimy pulsating egg sacks which hatch a multitude of ravenous squirming larva that devour your mind from the inside out, eventually crawling out of your blood-soaked ears.
This is not an exhaustive list of contagious canticles, so stay tuned for more (as soon as my brain jumps to another year). And be sure to turn those speakers up. If the music isn’t knocking over skyscrapers, mountains, or deities, then it’s not loud enough.
Draconian has been churning out some optimal melodic doom metal (with a dash of goth) for almost twenty years. Their talent at expertly juxtaposing Anders Jacobsson’s caustic vocals alongside Lisa Johansson’s gossamer voice created more than a few shiny metal masterpieces. And with Lisa’s departure from the band, those songs are to live on only in the minds of the fans.
You’ll be rending your own nails along your own flesh, having never felt so great about being so depressed and hopeless.
I must admit I sorely miss Lars Eikind’s departure from Before the Dawn. Rise of the Phoenix certainly brings forth plenty of metal mayhem, but for me the album is missing a crucial ingredient. So, in keeping with the theme of juxtaposition, running Eikind’s clean vocals against Tuomas Saukkonen’s growls and guitar play cultivated a few endemic melodies destined to endure.
It’s melodic metal wielding a large medieval axe at your head, hacking away at your ears and your sanity.
If I had more then two thumbs they’d be all up for these choices. Draconian is easily in my top 5 of favorite bands for the past 10 years. This whole album is fantastic and Lisa’s vocals will be missed for sure. Before the Dawn is pretty good too…or was.
What did you think of their last album?
A Rose for the Apocalypse received my highest scoring grade of any album review up to that point. It was fantastic and ended up near the top on my year end list for 2011. Anders Jacobssen also is a great interviewee so when they release the next album with the new female lead I’d recommend trying to catch them for one.
Two of my favorite albums from 2008, no doubt about it. I always thought 2008 was a stellar year for metal.
And I totally agree on your analysis of Before the Dawn; even though their new album is really good, a certain kind of atmosphere has gone lost with the departure of Lars Eikind. | 2019-04-24T05:52:08 | https://www.nocleansinging.com/2013/02/04/infectious-songs-of-2008/ | [

We investigate whether mining affects local corruption in Africa. Several cross-country analyses report that natural resources have adverse effects on political institutions by increasing corruption, whereas other country-level studies show no evidence of such “political resource curses.” These studies face well-known endogeneity and other methodological issues, and employing micro-level data would allow for drawing stronger inferences. Hence, we connect 92,762 Afrobarometer survey respondents to spatial data on 496 industrial mines. Using a difference-in-differences strategy, we find that mining increases bribe payments, and this result is robust to using alternative models. Mines are initially located in less corrupt areas, but mining areas turn more corrupt after mines open. When exploring mechanisms, we find that local economic activity relates differently to corruption in mining and non-mining areas, suggesting that mining income incentivizes and enables local officials already present to require more bribes. | 2019-04-21T20:47:46 | https://www.frisch.uio.no/publikasjoner/?pubid=1349 | [

Still image of Lisa Sharon Harper from YouTube.
Pastors and lay leaders who represent minority and multiethnic communities and are appalled by the prospect of a Donald Trump presidency have a blunt message for the white evangelical majority that helped elect him: we’re disappointed in you, but not surprised.
For these evangelicals of color, Trump’s use of racially-charged language, his anti-immigrant rhetoric, negative remarks targeting Mexicans and Muslims, as well as the emergence of the “Access Hollywood” tape and his other divisive comments about women, were simply disqualifying.
While some prominent white evangelical leaders made their opposition to then-candidate Trump widely known (many signing a letter protesting his candidacy), the majority of white self-identified evangelicals (estimated to run as high as 81 percent), lined up behind him.
“Many of [Trump’s] critics fell silent or fell into line, while the group known as the ‘religious right’ continued to support him’ says Kathy Khang, a Christian writer and speaker based in the Chicago area.
For the past eight years, people of color, the LGBT community, and women have been given license to flourish, says Lisa Sharon Harper, author of The Very Good Gospel: How Everything Wrong Can Be Made Right and chief church engagement officer at Sojourners. “The white church demonstrated on November 8th that it is more white than Christian, and has a [greater] commitment to white supremacy than it does to Christ,” says Harper.
The fact that so many evangelicals didn’t see Trump’s controversial rhetoric as derogatory underlined the presence of a persistent and troubling racial divide in American Christianity that these leaders say is deeply rooted in American history.
Some are questioning the value of continued association with the white evangelical majority.
Despite their dismay over the prospect of a Trump presidency, those I spoke to appear to be more motivated and energized than daunted by the challenges that lie ahead.
“This has been a wakeup call to the progressive, moderate community that we have to stand up for what we believe in and communicate it in the public square,” DuBois concludes.
And Lisa Sharon Harper tells me that “a new Civil Rights movement is happening, and its locus is in people of color.” She sees evidence of it already in the “movement for black lives,” the witness of the so-called “Dreamers” (undocumented immigrants who arrived here as children), and the rising call for solidarity with the poor that mirrors the words of Jesus in Matthew 25. “Every word of Scripture was written by oppressed people,” she says.

Humanities teacher Micah Weiss believes in the power of respectful, open debate, and he’s fostering a spirit of lively discussion in his classroom.
Humanities teacher Micah Weiss wears many hats here at Oliverian. While he’s an English teacher by training, his American Studies classes at Oli focus on a holistic blend of American history and literature before, during, and after World War II. He’s also the chairman of the hiring committee, serves on the Oliverian Senior Project committee, and lives on campus with his wife, Betsy, and their three children.
This semester, Micah used Oli’s electives week to explore a particularly timely topic with his students: how to engage in productive civil discourse. We caught up with Micah to discuss his approach to the class, the students’ response, and what he learned along the way.
Q: What are some of the unique opportunities that Oli’s electives week offers?
A: As a teacher, having a three-and-a-half hour block of class time to work with is really interesting. You can do a lot with that. I did a film noir class last year, and before that, I used to lead a class that centered around a big World War II-themed board game that takes 17 hours to play. But for this year’s class, I was trying to get past some of the political polarization that we’re seeing around us and help the students listen to each other.
Q: Can you tell us a little bit about the class you taught?
A: I taught a class called “The Great Debates.” As the class went on, my original plan for the class changed based on the students and how engaged they became. At first, I had intended for it to be a class about watching and analyzing intellectual debates, because there are a lot of long form, debates between public intellectuals that you can watch for free.
But once we got started, the students themselves were so excited about the ideas and controversies that we were talking about that I shifted the class to focus more on their voices. They engaged in debates about whatever they wanted to talk about, and I acted as a moderator and tried to get everyone to listen to each other without the conversation becoming too polarized.
Q: What did your students think of the class?
A: I was very lucky to have a group of kids that were willing to talk and had a diverse set of opinions on different topics. At first, we were looking at logical fallacies and how to make good arguments versus bad arguments. But by the end of the week, we were discussing major issues and trying to come to a consensus — or at least disagree respectfully.
For example, our conversation about gun control was really interesting, because we had a couple of students from rural New York, where hunting and target shooting are a way of life. On the other end of the spectrum, we had a student from an urban environment who’s very passionately against any kind of legalized guns, and a student from Europe who wanted weapon control of all kinds. We had this wide array of views, but we had a really constructive and respectful discussion about it. It was great to give the students a chance to see that you can disagree with each other and not hate each other at the same time.
Q: Did you have any “aha!” moments where you felt like students were really learning to engage in this type of respectful dialogue?
A: I think the most constructive conversation we all had was the one around what racism is, who gets to decide what the definition is, and under what circumstances. So, you know, there’s the newer, left-wing definition of “bigotry plus power, equals racism.” There’s also the traditional definition in dictionaries, which is racial bigotry. So how has that changed, and how does that change the way we talk to each other about race in America?
At the very beginning of that conversation, it was very heated and very intense. There was a very quick jump to accusation. By the end, there was a much deeper understanding between the entire group that this is a very complicated issue and that words can change meaning over time, and that we have to listen to each other before we make accusations. By the end of that conversation, they were really listening to each other. It was beautiful.
Q: What do you think makes Oliverian unique?
A: I think that because we’re small and because our community is so immersive, we can eat dinner with students, or take them on long trips, or take them to the movies or Harvard Model Congress, or have an electives week where we go people-watch and write stories about the people we watch. This is real time that we’re spending together, these are real relationships that we’re building.
In my old job as a teacher in the Bronx, I would get my kids for one 45 minute class a day and maybe lunch for half an hour. At the end of the week, I’d go home and there was nothing I could do. Anything they were getting out of our relationship was really transitory. Here, I really get to create relationships with these kids that are meaningful and long-lasting. | 2019-04-21T02:47:35 | https://oliverianschool.org/faculty-spotlight-electives-week-recap-with-micah-weiss/ | [

7 Household Items With Major Home Remedy Power - The Co.
I’ve done it. Wrestled the kids, got them into the car or stroller, waited in line at the walk-in clinic because I couldn’t get in at the doctor’s. Found out there is a two-hour wait, returned home, unpacked the kids, only to return two hours later to be told my kids just need a bit of saline for their stuffy nose or honey to treat their cough. I would much rather treat common ailments with home remedies when medically advisable than take my kids out unnecessarily. I have since taken to the nurses line when it seems like a common cold and used natural remedies under their consult. Because I’ve had such success with the above mentioned natural remedies, when Meredith Hale, a favourite blogger of mine, announced she had written an A-Z Guide of Quick and Easy Natural Cures, I jumped at the chance to review it.
Having poured over the contents of the books several times now, I must say, the book is incredibly comprehensive, beautiful, informative, and pragmatic. Common ailments are listed from A-Z, each being given two-page coverage showcasing a handful of natural remedies and suggestions on when to see the doctor. The photos are bright accents to the recommended ingredients on each page; the home remedies are described in tangible terms; and the coloured boxes with additional facts, warnings, or considerations give the text more depth. The book is so thorough and so well thought out! As a result of my reading Home Remedies An A-Z Guide of Quick and Easy Natural Cures, I have compiled a list of 7 household items with major home remedy power.
Disclaimer: Home remedies should never take the place of consulting a doctor.
1. Apple Cider Vinegar: This particular vinegar is a natural anti-inflammatory. It also acts as an astringent. Uses: a toner to treat acne, help decrease the swelling of a bruise, help dry up excess oil in hair, treat psoriasis.
2. Hydrogen Peroxide: I love hydrogen peroxide as a household cleaner, but this natural ingredient also helps eliminate bacteria and decrease swelling. Uses: an under-arm deodorant, dislodge debris and reduce inflammation of an earache, reduce plaque on teeth, fight gingivitis.
3. Garlic: Garlic has natural antibiotic properties. Uses: on cuts to fight bacteria, help with nasal congestion, help decrease blood pressure.
4. Aloe: Meredith recommends using 100% natural aloe rather than bottled, store bought kind as it can also contain alcohol that can be drying. One of the main benefits of aloe? It may reduce pain and inflammation. Uses: moisturise dry, cracked skin, alleviate itch and burn of rashes, hives, chaffed skin, eczema, and/ or sunburn.
5. Honey: This one is one of my favourites because honey can seemingly do so much (NB organic honey is recommended in the book). It has antibacterial, antiviral, and anti-inflammatory properties. Uses: coat a sore throat, increase healing time for canker sores, relieve the pain of chickenpox, soothe and coat mucous membranes acting as a natural cough medicine, help metabolise alcohol helping to treat a hangover.
6. Baking Soda: Another favourite of mine for common ailments and cleaning, baking soda helps to kill bacteria and has anti-fungal, anti-inflammatory properties. It also exfoliates. Uses: relieve itching of chickenpox, hives, or from stings/bites, prevent the formation of plaque on teeth, treat diaper rash, or as a natural anti-acid.
7. Coconut Oil: It is anti-fungal, antibacterial, and rich in vitamin E. Uses: lip balm, treat diaper rash, razor burn, dry skin.

With so many “trusted” websites like Google and Facebook being accused of selling information to the highest buyers, many people have become skeptical of the web in general. Even those Facebook quizzes have people on edge regarding their security. Many people warn that taking the popular quizzes on Facebook gives the company access to sensitive information including your name. profile, friends, etc. Is any information safe?
We all know that general information is taken and used by advertisers as well as websites to learn more about the traffic coming in. It’s also used to allow advertisers to market themselves to potential buyers. As we discussed in the Google article, your searches are sold and used against you. For most people, this is mostly just an annoyance. You’ll see ads for products you searched for a couple of weeks before they go away and are replaced by new ads. In other words, it’s just an inconvenience.However what you might be unaware of, is that your health information could also be out there for the masses and that companies are selling it to third parties. And yes, this can also impact your credit score scarily enough.
So while it may seem both convenient and practical to use your smartphone to keep up with your medication as well as Google illness symptoms, these apps and websites might be sharing your personal information.
It’s sad that the world we live in where data is one of the hottest currencies available. Personal information is worth its weight in gold and companies are just as eager to hand it out for a few bucks as others are to get their hands on it. Every click you make online is heavily monitored and sometimes your moves are even tracked offline.
This information is then sold at market to the highest bidder; without your express knowledge or permission. And for many, it’s impossible to opt out of the sharing aspect of the apps and websites. We’ve come to accept the fact that this is true of our basic search and app habits. If you have the Urban Outfitters app downloaded for example and frequently search for their clothing online, you’ll see a lot more Urban Outfitters ads and related companies pop up. These ads will appear on social media as well as frequented websites that have space for advertising. However, you would never expect your health information to be used against you in the same manner.
Unfortunately, just like with the Urban Outfitters app, your health apps and Google searches are sharing your most personal, valuable data. Sure, you can easily not search for your symptoms online, but for those who have their medical data stored in apps or even on their doctor’s medical site, it’s not always an option to get out of sharing that information. This means that the most sensitive and personal parts of your life are available for third parties to craft advertisements based on or to sell it to fourth party companies who have little to nothing to do with the health industry.
In a recent study conducted using fake profiles on medical websites as well as information searched for through websites like WebMD, researchers discovered that a lot of third parties were privy to this information. That’s right, the last time you checked WebMD and it told you that you were dying of brain cancer instead of recommending you take medicine for your migraine, this info was handed out to interested parties.
According to the research, even health apps were selling the private information. You’d expect websites with built in search engines would collect and share some data, but you wouldn’t expect it from your personal health app. At least, we wouldn’t. However these apps, which often hold the most sensitive information regarding users, are selling the information and sharing it just as frequently as Google and Facebook share their data.
The research was conducted by a research team composed of members from Canada, the United States, and Australia according to Gizmodo. The researchers were curious whether or not these medical apps were selling information or actually keeping it to themselves as promised. The research team downloaded 24 of the most popular health apps on Android and started the process.
For each individual app, the researchers put together four fake profiles. They then used the programs 14 times. When they logged in for the 15th time, they changed up the information they gave to the apps just slightly. They then tracked whether or not the network traffic had changed. This allowed them to see whether or not the apps shared the change in data and where they shared it too.
The researchers discovered that a staggering 79 percent of these apps shared at least some of the collected data with third parties. This included popular apps like Drugs.com, Ada, Medscape, and more. Of course, some of the apps were using the data as a way of improving the functions of the app by maintaining the cloud where personal data is stored and dealing with errors, others were definitely using the information to allow other companies to create tailored advertisements based on that individual’s health profile.
In other words let’s say that you have anxiety. On your app, you store all of your information. The app is responsible for your medication (including what kind and how much you take), as well as managing your symptoms/concerns, doctor visits, etc. Because of your profile, third parties will begin marketing self-help books related to anxiety as well as other drugs, seminars, and just about anything else that will make a quick buck.
However, it doesn’t just stop there. According to the researchers, the third parties were bundling user data and sharing it with fourth party companies. Most of these companies were far removed from the health industry. And unfortunately many of these companies were credit-reporting agencies. In other words, your health could impact your credit score and actually lower it.
Many argue that this isn’t as big of a deal as people are making it. “Full names typically aren’t attached to these profiles, and if they are companies typically don’t include them when selling your data. Plus all they’re doing is collecting information you give to the app or using your search results. They’re data mining. Who cares? You still use Facebook, right and they’ve been collecting and selling your information for years.” That’s the basic sentiment that a lot of people have.
Not to mention, the more places your information travels and the more websites it’s available on, the easier and more likely it is for hackers to get ahold of your sensitive information.
While most of the data was shared in some level of capacity or another to third parties, the information was also handed out to a fourth party in many cases. The primary company that was privy to this data is probably the last one you’d want having ANY of your information: Equifax. The research team discovered that Equifax had an agreement with many of the apps’ third parties. This means that not only can your personal health information, something that should be between just you and your doctor, affect your ability to buy a home or care, but Equifax also had one of the largest hacks. Tons of data was stolen from their website and that’s still very, very fresh in everyone’s minds.
So while it’s bad enough that your health information, something you can’t control, is being used against you, it’s also at risk of being hacked and leaked to the world.
You’d expect this kind of data sharing to be illegal or in the very least heavily frowned upon, but it’s not. It’s how businesses and companies have been operating on the web for a long, long time now. And according to the researchers, they don’t see it changing anytime soon. They were also quick to say that these findings really aren’t all that surprising. After all, since data is such a hot currency, it makes sense that personal stuff such as your health would sell like hot cakes so to speak.
As for those that actually do read all of the fine print, the agreement is often poorly worded or “snuck in”. Using clever lingo, you might be unaware that you’re agreeing to the company’s desire to sell your personal data. And even if you are slick enough to catch it, none of the apps will allow you to opt out of the data sharing. So if you want to use their app (and in many cases, it’s a necessity), then you’ll have to allow the company to use your data as they see fit. And yes you read that right, according to the researchers ALL of the apps prevent you from opting out of the data share.
How can I protect my health information?
Unfortunately, this is one of those things where there’s no real solid answer. For starters users that take advantage of health programs online and apps need to be cautious with the ones they choose to use. And while it might seem impossible to protect your online data given the information in this article, it is possible.
Easier said than done of course, but heavily researching each individual app before putting even a drop of information into it is a start. Obviously they’re going to share your data regardless, but you can at least avoid those companies that are selling it for heinous reasons. Just like you accept the fact that Facebook is going to market advertisements to your profile, you’ll need to accept that your health app will do the same.
We also believe that there should be a heightened call that seeks to protect users from these predators. And informing the masses is the first and best way to begin. The more people that come to learn about the shady dealings of companies, the better they can prepare themselves. So please, share this article with your friends and family that might not be aware that their health data can have hard consequences on them.
We were shocked to learn just how far these apps were going to make a buck. We were even more shocked that NONE of them allowed you to opt out of having your information shared. We were always aware that they had to share some level of personal data in order to advertise to you, but we didn’t know that companies like Equifax had their hands in the pot. What do you think about the whole thing? Does it surprise you? Do you think you’ll be less willing to use these apps in the future? | 2019-04-26T12:20:25 | https://ishli.com/what-you-dont-know-about-your-health-data-will-make-you-physically-ill/ | [

Not to be confused with Subsidiary or subsidy.
This article is about the general principle of subsidiarity, with particular reference to European Union law. For the Catholic social teaching, see Subsidiarity (Catholicism).
Subsidiarity is perhaps presently best known as a general principle of European Union law.
The Oxford English Dictionary defines subsidiarity as "the principle that a central authority should have a subsidiary function, performing only those tasks which cannot be performed at a more local level". The concept is applicable in the fields of government, political science, neuropsychology, cybernetics, management and in military command (mission command). Subsidiarity is a general principle of European Union law. In the United States of America, the principle of States' Rights is enshrined in the constitution. Although the principle is older, its expression in the term "subsidiarity" was first coined in 1891 by the Roman Catholic Church for its social teaching.
The OED adds that the term "subsidiarity" in English follows the early German usage of "Subsidiarität". More distantly, it is derived from the Latin verb subsidio (to aid or help), and the related noun subsidium (aid or assistance). The concept as discussed here was first described formally in Catholic social teaching. Coupled with another Christian democratic principle, sphere sovereignty, subsidiarity is said to have led to the creation of corporatist welfare states throughout the world.
Alexis de Tocqueville's classic study, Democracy in America, may be viewed as an examination of the operation of the principle of subsidiarity in early 19th century America. De Tocqueville noted that the French Revolution began with "a push towards decentralization ... in the end, an extension of centralization". He wrote that "Decentralization has, not only an administrative value, but also a civic dimension, since it increases the opportunities for citizens to take interest in public affairs; it makes them get accustomed to using freedom. And from the accumulation of these local, active, persnickety freedoms, is born the most efficient counterweight against the claims of the central government, even if it were supported by an impersonal, collective will."
As Christian Democratic political parties were formed, they adopted the Catholic social teaching of subsidiarity, as well as the neo-Calvinist theological teaching of sphere sovereignty, with both Protestants and Roman Catholics agreeing "that the principles of sphere sovereignty and subsidiarity boiled down to the same thing".
Will the American people never learn that, as a principle, to expect swift response and efficiency from government is fatuous? Will we never heed the principle of subsidiarity (in which our fathers were bred), namely that no public agency should do what a private agency can do better, and that no higher-level public agency should attempt to do what a lower-level agency can do better – that to the degree the principle of subsidiarity is violated, first local government, the state government, and then federal government wax in inefficiency? Moreover, the more powers that are invested in government, and the more powers that are wielded by government, the less well does government discharge its primary responsibilities, which are (1) defence of the commonwealth, (2) protection of the rights of citizens, and (3) support of just order.
Decentralization, or decentralising governance, refers to the restructuring or reorganisation of authority so that there is a system of co-responsibility between institutions of governance at the central, regional and local levels according to the principle of subsidiarity, thus increasing the overall quality and effectiveness of the system of governance, while increasing the authority and capacities of sub-national levels.
Systemic failures of the type seen in the crash of 2007/08 can largely be avoided, since diverse solutions to common problems avoid common mode failure.
Individual and group initiative is given maximum scope to solve problems.
The systemic problem of moral hazard is largely avoided. In particular, the vexing problem of atrophied local initiative/responsibility is avoided.
When a genuine principle of liberty is recognised by a higher political entity but not all subsidiary entities, implementation of that principle can be delayed at the more local level.
When a genuinely efficacious economic principle is recognised by a higher political entity, but not all subsidiary entities, implementation of that principle can be delayed at the more local level.
In areas where the local use of common resources has a broad regional, or even global, impact (such as in the generation of pollutants), higher levels of authority may have a natural mandate to supersede local authority.
Subsidiarity is perhaps presently best known as a general principle of European Union law. According to this principle, the EU may only act (i.e. make laws) where action of individual countries is insufficient. The principle was established in the 1992 Treaty of Maastricht. However, at the local level it was already a key element of the European Charter of Local Self-Government, an instrument of the Council of Europe promulgated in 1985 (see Article 4, Paragraph 3 of the Charter) (which states that the exercise of public responsibilities should be decentralised). Subsidiarity is related in essence to, but should not be confused with, the concept of a margin of appreciation.
A more descriptive analysis of the principle can be found in Protocol 2 to the European Treaties.
The Court of Justice of the European Union in Luxembourg is the authority that has to decide whether a regulation falls within the exclusive competence[a] of the Union, as defined by the Treaty of European Union and its predecessors. As the concept of subsidiarity has a political as well as a legal dimension, the Court of Justice has a reserved attitude toward judging whether EU legislation is consistent with the concept. The Court will examine only marginally whether the principle is fulfilled. A detailed explanation of the legislation is not required; it is enough that the EU institutions explain why national legislation seems inadequate and that Union law has an added value.
Furthermore, in the fifth recital the Parliament and the Council stated that the action taken by the Member States in response to the Commission's Recommendation has not fully achieved the desired result. The Community legislature therefore found that the objective of its action could not be achieved sufficiently by the Member States.
Consequently, it is apparent that, on any view, the Parliament and the Council did explain why they considered that their action was in conformity with the principle of subsidiarity and, accordingly, that they complied with the obligation to give reasons as required under Article 190 of the Treaty. An express reference to that principle cannot be required.

All other matters remain as "national competences" (each member decides its own policy independently). International trade agreements are an example of the former, taxation is an example of the latter.

A consumer has filed a putative class action alleging that Mott's Applesauce and Apple Juice products are mislabeled as "natural" because they contain traces of an insecticide. Yu v. Dr Pepper Snapple Grp. Inc., No. 18-6664 (N.D. Cal., San Jose Div., filed November 1, 2018). The plaintiff alleges that reasonable consumers would not expect to find acetamiprid, a synthetic chemical, in a product labeled as "natural." The complaint echoes a similar lawsuit filed by Beyond Pesticides in May 2017; an amended complaint in that lawsuit was filed in October 2018.
A consumer has filed a putative class action alleging that Florida’s Natural Orange Juice is not “natural” because it is “highly processed” and contains pesticide residues. Axon v. Citrus World Inc., No. 18-4162 (E.D.N.Y., filed July 20, 2018). The complaint alleges that Citrus Inc. markets Florida’s Natural with illustrations on the packaging of “green leaves and orange blossoms as well as fresh-sliced oranges with juice visibly dripping from the fruit,” which conveys to consumers that “the juice is in fact natural and similar in result if consumers had squeezed the oranges themselves.” For alleged violations of New York’s consumer-protection statutes, the plaintiff seeks class certification, damages, restitution and attorney’s fees.
The U.K. Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) has upheld a complaint that a “100% Natural Ingredients” claim was misleading because the processing of the snack bar's ingredients did not comply with the Food Standards Agency’s (FSA's) criteria for use of the term “natural.” United Biscuits submitted a list of ingredients for its “Go Ahead Goodness” snack bars and asserted that all ingredients were made in a traditional manner. After ASA referred to FSA guidance, it determined that the refining of sunflower oil involves the use of chemical solvents and the process of creating reduced-fat cocoa powder involves the addition of potassium carbonate. Because the FSA guidance says neither the solvent extraction process nor the use of acid or alkali solutions is “in line with consumer expectations of ‘natural,’” ASA ruled that consumers would not consider the ingredients natural and that the advertisement was misleading. | 2019-04-24T20:44:05 | https://foodbeveragelitigationupdate.com/tag/natural/ | [

Interestingly, considering yesterdays post, there are some issues of policy where the consequences of 'mere' inefficiency are so grievous that they can elicit a visceral response. One of those is health care.
I'm not going to write a great deal on that right now but I will over the next little while. However, I will point out that although I approach the problem from a very different point of view to Tony Abbott, a man with whom I share almost no ideological common ground, I actually think he might be on to something here when he suggests getting the government out of the health services business. | 2019-04-25T23:49:42 | http://mindthemineshaftgap.blogspot.com/2009/08/australian-medical-system-ok-but-could.html | [

ATHENS, Ohio – An early-morning fire Sunday sent at least one resident and three firefighters to the hospital and damaged several buildings on West Union Street in the Uptown area. The injured, including one resident, three firefighters and three police officer, were transported to O’Bleness Memorial Hospital.
Several businesses, including housing Jackie O's Public House, The Union Bar, Smoke Zone, the Campus Sundry and Jack Neal Floral were destroyed or heavily damaged.
At least thirty residents were displaced by the fire.
The fire reportedly started around 4:10 a.m. and units from Athens City, Richland Area, Nelsonville and The Plains and Waterloo Township fire departments responded. At 9 a.m., water from two ladder trucks still deluged the buildings which appeared to suffer severe damage.
Electrical power is out in what Athens City Safety Director Ron Lucas described as a significant part of the Uptown area. Lucas reported that four residents were injured but three refused treatment. One resident was treated and released. A hospital spokesperson said the four first responders remain in an observation status but no serious injuries were reported.
West Union Street between Congress and Court streets remain closed. Court Street was closed from President to Washington streets. It is unknown when the streets will reopen. The Rome Township Volunteer Fire Department is providing fire coverage for while city units work to extinguish the fire, clear the structures and assess damage.
Owner of The Union Bar, Eric Gunn, said he received a call around 5:45 a.m. Sunday. “The bar is a total loss,” Gunn said.
Lucas said the cause of the fire is unknown. A spokeswomen for State Fire Marshall's office said investigators have been on scene all day and the fire is still under investigation.
In a social 4:45 p.m. media release, Lucas said Union Street will remain closed through the evening between Jackie-O's and the Uptown Dog. Businesses on the south side of Union are accessible by sidewalk and businesses west of Jackie-O's and east of The Uptown Dog are accessible on the north side.
Fire crews will remain on scene throughout the rest of the day and tonight to make sure fires do not flare up. The scene will be assessed in the morning before opening Union St. up to vehicular traffic.
Court St. and Congress St. have been reopened to vehicular traffic.
Three firefighters and three police officers were treated for minor exhaustion and smoke inhalation symptoms. One of the three officers also sustained a knee injury.
Power to 31 S. Court St. is expected to be restored sometime this afternoon.
Approximately 40 Ohio University students are known to have been displaced by the fire, with many of those students being temporarily housed in local hotels.
For those interested in assisting affected students, a donation station has been set up on the fourth floor of Baker University Center. According to OHIO officials, the affected students are in need of toiletries and warm clothing. | 2019-04-21T20:17:19 | http://www.cleverpeasants.com/2014/11/four-injured-buildings-damaged-in.html | [

Book Club Readers: I would like to know if you have done any of the devotions in Songs in the Key of Solomon and how it went. You can let me know anonymously by clicking here. Thanks!
In 1985 I should have been the happiest woman on the planet. I had a sweet, funny, romantic husband who had just bought me a brand new house in a great neighborhood. I worked for a great Christian woman and did interesting work. I attended one of those “mega-churches” filled with lots of opportunities to serve and learn more about God. I was part of a wonderful Bible study group that caused my faith to grow by leaps and bounds.
The hubby and I were trying to get preggers and nothing was happening on that front at all. While other friends our age were getting pregnant right and left, we were jealous and as Christians, we felt bad about feeling jealous! In my head I was thinking, “A good Christian would rejoice with her friends when they rejoice. A child is a blessing.” But, I was just sad that it wasn’t me who was getting to have a baby shower.
My head was also thinking, “It makes sense that God is not giving you a baby.” Why? When I babysat children as a teenager, they often drove me nuts. I had very little patience with them, honestly. This propensity made sense. I was the youngest in my family and thus, never really learned to tolerate the boisterous nature of younger children.
I also grew up in a minister’s family where quiet weekends were very normal because Dad was either preparing his sermon and needing the quiet or because he had just finished preaching and ministering on Sunday mornings and needed the rest. Thus, loudness, commotion and silliness were not my favorite cup of tea. I preferred to read, listen to music through my voluminous headphones (It was the 70s–everything was big.) and watching old movies. I liked solitude and solitude is not exactly synonymous with children!
And I had a knack for overreacting and saying the wrong things. How was that going to translate into good motherhood??? And yet, there was this burning ache to have a child.
Weeks turned into months and months turned into years. Finally, we consulted an ObGyn for help. If you’ve never been through this process, it’s pretty embarrassing. You have to expose the most intimate details of your relationship with your husband to strangers and let your private parts be open “for inspection.” Okay, so it feels like an inspection.
In 1985 in vitro fertilization (IVF) and surrogate pregnancies were just coming to the forefront of the infertility field of medicine. So, the hubby and I had to discuss exactly how far we wanted to go down the “fertility treatment road.” We finally agreed that if the baby wasn’t totally ours genetically, then we would stop treatments and procedures and start working on adopting a child.
Few realize that if a couple chooses to adopt, they basically have to have some time to grieve. Yes, grieve. Why? Because an infertile couple has to say goodbye to the notion of ever having their own child genetically. If a couple doesn’t do that, in my humble opinion, the consequences could be really unfortunate for the child they eventually adopt. To grieve this “loss” can take years. While adopting would have been great, going down the grief road wasn’t my idea of fun.
To boot most procedures (including adoption) costs thousands of dollars not covered by insurance. This generally hits couples when they’re hoping to pay off college loans and have a mortgage. There isn’t exactly a plethora of disposable income at their fingertips during this era of their lives! This was true of us as well.
We were both tested for possible infertility causes to determine the course of treatment. I was the culprit. Now, no matter how many times I, as well as the hubby and the doctors, said I shouldn’t blame myself, I still did. How do you not do that when you find out you’re not ovulating regularly and that you have endometriosis??? Again, it seemed to be confirmation from on high that I was not the right kind of person to be a mom. I felt pretty worthless.
We tried fertility drugs to no avail. Soon, it seemed prudent to do exploratory surgery on me to see what could be done about my endometriosis and to make sure other things were not hindering my ability to conceive. The surgery was going to be thousands of dollars.
We made the decision to tell our Bible study group, because they would wonder why I was in the hospital anyway. I will never forget what happened next–a first-time experience for me. They laid their hands on me and just prayed that that expense would not be necessary!
A mere month later, I was telling them I was pregnant. The Bible study group members literally jumped up and down at the news. Surgery averted. Prenatal vitamins started! Miracle granted!
Nine traumaless months later the oldest son was born. Four years later, with the help of fewer fertility drugs, our daughter arrived. And without any medical science at all, another son arrived four years after that. (I still refer to him as “the immaculate conception.”) Guess God thought this selfish, quiet-seeking person should be a mom after all.
I’d love to tell you that I was a great mom from the beginning. I was anything but. It took a loooonnnnggg time for God to work on all that selfishness and huge desire to crawl in a big hole when things got too chaotic for me. And I wasn’t all that great an aunt to several of my nieces and nephews (Again, there’s a reason why this blog is called what it is.) But over time and with a lot of instruction from the Lord and other great moms, I learned how to be a decent mom.
But, God didn’t stop there. He chose to give me “the adopteds.” Most of them are friends and acquaintances of my kids and a few I picked up along the way as I worked at our local university. I’m privileged to say that a few are also from the extended family. I would die for any one of them just as I would for my own children. Just the other day at the local grocery store, I heard a happy voice call out, “Momma A!” And I knew that happy voice was hailing me! Sure enough, an adopted was waiting to hug and greet me.
Today I marvel at how God answered the sad, desperate prayers of a woman who felt so unworthy of motherhood in 1985. Motherhood, in any of its forms, is such a privilege! And when the next generation becomes the people they’re meant to become, I am so proud of each and every one of them and how they, themselves, are triumphing over the sadness and obstacles in their own lives. They are a marvel, as well.
Perhaps now you understand why I find myself stalking “Mommy blogs” right and left, even though my active years of parenting are well behind me. And why, I have chosen to put the “Top Mommy Blog button” in the right-hand column of my blog. It still stuns me that I can offer suggestions, tips and encouragement when being a parent is really trying! And it may stun you to know that MIP is currently # 25 in the most popular “Everything Else” Mommy Blog category and # 565 overall, despite just being approved for mention on their site a few short days ago.
So, do me a favor: When you read a post here, please click on the Top Mommy Blog button before you leave. That will help other moms find my blog. I am so hoping that something I say here will resonate with that hard-working group of people and that I can be a blessing in their lives as they have been in mine. If you’re a mom, clicking on the button may help you find some much-needed resources and other blogs to help you with that big job of yours. And if you have a few minutes, please leave a rating and a few words about what MIP means to you. Thanks in advance–it means more than you will ever know.
Point to Ponder 1: If you’re going through infertility right now, what’s the most important thing you can do today to help your situation, either mentally, physically or emotionally? Pray? Confide in a good friend or relative? Tell me about it here? Consult a fertility specialist? Whatever it is, take the first step today to make that happen. You need allies in this fight!
Point to Ponder 2: Do you have a friend or relative going through infertility right now? If you’re a mom, may I gently suggest that you do your “mommy venting” with friends who already have kids and just pray for your friend and relative and let them know that you care about what they’re going through? Tell them that you probably don’t understand their situation, but you would love to know how you could help them best.
Point to Ponder 3: Do you have a wonderful mother figure in your life? Let her know today how much you appreciate her efforts and influence on your life! We never know when that gesture or kind word of appreciation is the last time we may get to let her know that!
Point to Ponder 4: Having a rough day “at the office” with your kids? Been there, done that. Let an older mom know that. She often has suggestions on how to get through those rough times. My suggestion? Throw out all of those parenting books and just trust your gut. God gave you those kids because he thought you were the best person to parent them. Submit a comment below if you need more encouragement. I’m happy to tell you what this imperfect mom learned as she was “in the trenches.” And veteran Moms? What suggestions do you have for newer moms who are struggling to succeed at raising the next generation? Submit away below!

I love this post. Thank you. Dealing with multiple miscarriages was the hardest thing Andrew and I have ever been through. It is such a lonely feeling. I treasure my sweet Riley Paige everyday and am so thankful God allowed us to be her parents. Fortunately, those rough times made us much stronger as a couple and in our relationship with God. Thank you again for such an honest and inspiring post!
Thanks, Chelsea, for sharing a little bit of your journey down the “infertility road” here. I can’t even imagine what that must be like to endure. But, I hope God uses it to bless other women with similar situations so they know they are not alone and that there IS hope. God is so good! | 2019-04-23T10:48:33 | https://maryanninprogress.com/an-unlikely-mom/ | [

“Fiona opens her mind and soul to take us on a roller-coaster tide through the physical and emotional battles that most of us will mercifully never have to experience. I kept asking myself how she could suffer so many setbacks yet keep coming back for more – either crazy or stubborn or both, but either way she tells quite a tale. Fiona’s ability to pull herself up time again speaks to the spirit so commonly seen in people with Multiple Sclerosis. The compassion and understanding of her support network reminds us that for every bad disease there are even good people ready to help fight it.
“Fiona’s Fight is an inspiring breath of fresh air. A strong reminder to us all that you should never give up, no matter what life throws at you or how hopeless everything may seem. Fiona’s heartfelt story will resonate in some way with anyone who reads it.
If you have been disappointed, let down, made a poor judgmental decision or if you have ever had those you though we closest to you suddenly turn their backs on you when you have needed them most, you need to read this book.
Working for the MS Society of Canada, and living with Multiple Sclerosis myself I can honestly say that in so many ways this story resonates beyond words. Experiencing Multiple Sclerosis from numerous perspectives I am here to tell you there is one common thread between Fiona’s Fight and every single other personal fight we all experience throughout our lifetimes. That common thread is HOPE, the one thing we all cling to when we are at what seems to be our worst, our “Rock Bottom”.
Fiona’s Fight reminds me every day that although it will never be fast enough, The MS Society of Canada and MS researchers across Canada are enhancing the quality of life for everyone affected by MS while making incredible progress in treating and one day finally Ending Multiple Sclerosis.
Fiona’s Fight is an honest look at the challenges faced by an amazing woman. The book shares the incredible story of Fiona and the numerous challenges she faced in her life. It is not only an inspirational story of Fiona surviving a rare form of MS and the Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant needed to save her life but also a book that shares with us her humor, honesty and courage in the face of numerous calamities. Fiona’s Fight is the story of a survivor. It is not only inspirational because of all challenges that Fiona has faced but also because of how she honestly shares with us her private struggles, and humanity. Reading this book, you cannot help but root for Fiona and have a greater insight into recovery from alcoholism and from serious illness. This is an important book because as Fiona herself puts it: “It’s important to have someone who can empathize and relate to you on a personal level”. This book carries a message of identification and hope for those who have shared in Fiona’s struggles and is a reminder that we are never alone.
This was a book I could not put down. As a fighter of my own Autoimmune Disease, CIDP, which is much like MS, I felt bonded to Fiona and her fight. This is real life in the raw. I too have had HSCT to halt my own disease and was right there beside her while reading this book. Events are true and miraculous. This book gives you the insight on what really happens while affected by an autoimmune disease and the misery they cause. HSCT is not for everyone, but this book gives you the inspiration to want to find out more about it to halt the disease that kills so many people. This book is very inspiring, motivating and heartfelt. GO FIONA.
I received this book yesterday and couldn’t put it down. Fiona has written the story of her fight with herself and her battles with MS with an amazing clarity. After having read this book I feel like I’ve gotten to know an amazing person. I would recommend this book especially to anyone fighting the disease of MS but also to anyone searching for clarity in their life.
Fiona’s Fight is an amazing book about one woman’s life and struggle with not only addiction but a very rare and deadly form of MS (multiple sclerosis). It was impossible to put down and I would highly recommend it to anyone, but especially to those who are affected by or have someone close who is affected by a serious disease.
This is an awesome book. Feels like you are sitting with her having coffee and she is telling you the story. Loved it!!!!!! She is an amazing person and is surrounded by exceptional people!
Enthralling true story of Fiona’s life.
Not many face similar challenges,struggles,cumulative obstacles,that in her case could well have taken her life or changed the sparkle and fight in her..
She’s lived more life in her years,than many lived in their lifetimes.
She had many experiences,some that could well shatter others for the remainder of their lives.
I enjoyed her describe the work she did in a field many considered a man’s job.
I loved that she did it with gusto,challenges at times,sheer will,joy,and pride.
As she relays the onset of her medical condition,it’s symptoms that can take down the best of us,she kept picking herself up through the most trying of times.
While Fiona could be close to my daughter’s age,I saw her as a friend in this struggle with multiple sclerosis and life’s inherent obstacles and triumphs.
Her medical condition escalated to a grave variant of multiple sclerosis that few live to tell about.
I couldn’t put the book down,I was captivated.
This is a story of triumph and perseverance and the power of something greater,with the essence of humanity,humility and the power of forgiveness and great will in the mix.
Such Grace,I was humbled by her strength,and all those who made a difference in keeping her alive.
This story needed to be told,and shared,it was such a pleasure to read.
Inspiring,and that is an understatement.
Truly a must read for anyone,it is also a coming of age story as she tells about her teens,the heartbreak of betrayal and shame and working her way through to finding herself again.
Delightful read,so glad I purchased this,it’s become one of the treasures I have in my collection.
So inspirational, Fiona what a wonderful writer you are!! You have been through hell and back on many occasions, I admre your strength and courage. Someday we’ll meet, I look forward to that day!!!! | 2019-04-23T15:03:49 | https://fionasfight.com/book_reviews/ | [

Did not check vehicles at other access points.
Seaweed clumps were being deposited on the beach by the incoming tide.
4 adult common murres, 1 sooty shearwater, and 1 large immature gull.
We were told by a couple walking on the beach that there was a dead shark further up the beach. We did not see it, so it may have washed out, or it may have not been on our mile.
No significant changes since last report.
Pleasant sunny day on beach. 5 people and 2 dogs walking in the hard sand. Usual stuff in the wrack line. There was some seaweed washing onto shore with the incoming tide. Did not see evidence of significant physical changes since my last quarterly report. No actions taken. | 2019-04-19T13:11:54 | https://oregonshores.org/mile-254-kiwanda-beach-neskowin-crest-august-23-2012 | [

I feel so lucky. The man i am with is so amazing to me. My last relationship fucked me up so bad emotionally and mentally that i have trust issues, insecurities, I question things.. My ex chrated on me off n on for 2 yrs and was narcasistic and manipulative. He secluded me to make me feel like i couldnt rely on anyone but him. And my man now is helping me through all of these issues. I never feel like i have to beg him for attention and to love me. I dont feel so alone all the time. Yesterday I had a bad moment and he told me im not gonna scare him away. And I didnt realize how much tension I had had all day until he said that.
Ladies, I am strong. Everyone has moments or days where they arent though and you just need someone to be there for you. I am so lucky that i have him. Im currently in washington for a wedding and he's in phx but every morning he messages me good morning and that he misses me and hopes i have a good day because he works all day long and cant get to his phone most of the time and is exhausted once he gets home so he usually falls asleep immediately. But he takes the time in the morning to show me he cares about me. And it honeestly means so much to me. | 2019-04-20T03:12:23 | http://sevgilisikim.net/276/i-feel-so-special-and-lucky-to-have-him-in-my-life | [

On Jan. 15, nine of 12 members of the National Park System Advisory Board sent a letter to Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke announcing their resignation, effectively dissolving the board.
It was an act of protest against an administration with little appetite for the methodical approach the board has brought to national park management for decades. And it leaves the National Park Service without a means to establish new historic or natural landmarks, since federal law requires the advisory board to sign off on such designations. More significantly, perhaps, it’s another crack in the foundation of the Interior Department, which manages 500 million acres of public land and is already rattled by the prospect of some 4,000 job cuts.
Since 1935, the nonpartisan experts on the National Park System Advisory Board have consulted with the Park Service on its policies and recommended new park units. Lady Bird Johnson served on the board, as did Western writer Wallace Stegner and numerous anthropologists, archaeologists, biologists, architects and social scientists. In recent years, the board has taken a special interest in protecting sites that are of value to Asian-American, African-American, Latino and LGBT communities, and it’s advised the Park Service on management strategies to deal with the impacts of climate change.
When Zinke took office last spring, board members hoped to talk with him about these efforts. But the secretary seemed uninterested—perhaps not surprising, given that a leaked document outlining his department’s priorities scrubbed all mentions of climate change and diversity. In May, Zinke suspended the advisory board, along with some 200 other independent committees that offered management expertise to individual parks or regions. With few options to make their voices heard, advisory board members decided to resign en masse.
Interior Department spokeswoman Heather Swift did not respond to a request for comment, but told the conservative Washington Examiner that the department “welcomes” the resignations of members who she claims ignored sexual harassment issues in the Park Service.
Former Alaska governor and advisory board chairman Tony Knowles says sexual harassment didn’t fall under the board’s purview. He also talked with High Country News about why he quit and what the board’s dissolution means for the national park system. The following has been edited for length and clarity.
HCN: Did you get the sense that until this year, the recommendations of the board were heeded, or at least heard?
Tony Knowles: Yes, absolutely. Over the past 7 years, we really made a difference in the direction of the National Park Service. There was a great sense of collaboration. Our board members worked with more than 160 outside experts to come up with recommendations, including to approve 130 new historical landmarks. We went over recommendations carefully with former superintendent Jon Jarvis, and often they became part of Park Service policy.
HCN: How did that change in the past year?
TK: At the beginning, we were told that all of the advisory boards were suspended and we’d be notified when it would become part of the agenda to reinstate them. So we waited one, two, three, four months. There was no contract (to allow us to continue our work), no understanding of when a Park Service director would be appointed. In early October, I wrote a letter to Secretary Zinke explaining how the board wanted to meet to inform the new administration of what we envisioned to build a better park system in the 21st century, and to hear what their vision was. We got no answer. I pestered and pestered, and in mid-November got a one-sentence email from someone saying the secretary was very busy. That’s when we realized they were just running out the clock until our terms expired in May.
HCN: Why did you decide to resign rather than try to influence the direction of the agency from within?
TK: When you’re on permanent hold, at some time you’ve gotta hang up. There’s no one to talk to but yourselves. By nine of us resigning, we felt we’d be able to get the microphone briefly to at least talk to the American people about climate change, about preserving the natural diversity of wildlife, about making sure underrepresented minorities not only come to the parks but are employees there. All these things we think are important. We may be disappointed with the Department of the Interior, but we are not discouraged. Every single one of us will continue the fight to promote and protect our public lands.
HCN: Given that your action is part of a larger pattern of resignations and layoffs at the Park Service, are you concerned about the agency’s future?
TK: Of course we’re concerned. The secretary proposed a 13 percent budget reduction, which would all come out of personnel, then claimed he’s going to rebuild infrastructure by raising park entry fees. If we’re trying to increase the number of people from lower-income groups who want to come to our parks, that’s counter-productive. I also get worried when I think about the unprecedented reduction of Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante national monuments in Utah. We think those could be a preview of coming attractions for the National Park Service. | 2019-04-23T16:16:39 | https://www.motherjones.com/environment/2018/01/exclusive-interview-with-guy-who-just-emerged-from-wreckage-of-trump-park-service/ | [

Boston Marathon Bombing Suspect Enters Not Guilty Pleas In 1st Public Court HearingFor the first plea, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev leaned toward a microphone and said, "Not guilty,'' in a Russian accent. He then said not guilty repeatedly about a half-dozen more times.
Mayors Against Illegal Guns Apologizes For Calling Boston Bombing Suspect Victim Of Gun Violence The event is part of the gun-control group's 25-state "No More Names" tour, which is part of its campaign to build support for legislation to expand background checks for gun buyers.
CBS News: Attack At Boston Marathon Was Supposed To Happen On July 4The official also said that Tsarnaev revealed that the bombs were constructed at his older brother Tamerlan's residence and that Tamerlan had brought Dzhokhar into the plot a couple of months before. | 2019-04-22T18:05:31 | https://newyork.cbslocal.com/tag/tamerlan-tsarnaev/ | [

Recently i had a commercial property for sale. A “potential” Buyer walked in off the street and spoke with my Seller directly. Subsequently i was able to secure an Agreement to Purchase. During the process the Buyer seemed a bit off! Difficult to reach, calling me from cell phones borrowed from shoppers in the mall (apparently the Buyer’s cell had been lost having left same on the roof of the car a week prior) and having a room in a hovel of a motel in the west end of the city. After a week of negotiations, i had to obtain a certified deposit cheque for the agreement. The Buyer had represented a solid financial portfolio to me, so imagine my surprise when the Buyer could not come up with the total amount of the deposit on the offer. I was provided with “most” by bank draft with the balance to follow the next Monday. The Buyer then fell off the face of the earth for two weeks. The deal was voided as i found out that the Buyer had been re-admitted to the hospital.
OMG, you were dealing with a poor person who must have been in a state of mental confusion.
next day, other agents told me the man was not mentally stable.
Shook me up just a little bit. You meet all kinds. | 2019-04-18T17:15:08 | http://www.realtydrama.com/dont-judge-a-book-by-its-cover/ | [

Trust Pharmacy – Can You Really Trust An Online Pharmacy?
Medications have become one of many artificially created substances that human beings use every day. However, unlike things like plastic products and other materials that we use commercially, medications must be taken into the body, which means that scientists, researchers, and ultimately the companies producing them must ensure the populace that the medications are safe to consume. Thankfully, medications must go through a rigorous process to be accepted as a treatment for conditions. But, what about pharmacies, especially the ones online? Is there a way to assure that we can trust them?
The pharmacy has plenty of features that are geared towards making the experience more enjoyable for their customers. For example, they offer plenty of special offers right on their homepage, offering some of the lowest prices for meds, especially bestsellers like Viagra and Cialis. They offer to present the site in a number of languages and different currencies that suit the user’s needs. They have even provided US and UK numbers that you can use to contact the customer service with if you are experiencing any trouble. Finally, they have guaranteed customers that delivery will be prompt and on time.
However, despite all of these amazing claims on the site, there is still reason to shed suspicion on sites like these. One of the main problems that online pharmacies face is establishing a sense of reliability and trustworthiness with their clients and the public in general. This is due to the fact that thousands of prior customers have been able to share their experiences of getting scammed out of their money by a seemingly legitimate online pharmacy. Canadian pharmacies, for example, have made quite a name for themselves online due to the lowered prices compared to other Western countries and the exceptional service that Canadian healthcare is known for. However, it seems that many websites claiming to be based in Canada are not, which spreads the doubt about which sites to trust.
For Canadian pharmacies, there is an association called CIPA that is composed of approved and licensed pharmaceutical vendors. They have dedicated their time and efforts to find out which Canadian sites are the real deal and which are not. They have also conveniently set up a list of sites that are approved or otherwise. CIPA members are known not to send spam to customers of their services, nor do they sell any substances without someone presenting their prescription. Unfortunately, it seems that trust Pharmacy has been included in the rogue pharmacy list, which means that it cannot be trusted despite its name.
Trust Pharmacy has definitely set itself up in the online world with a widespread name and reputation. This can be seen in the fact that there are several hundreds of people ordering their drugs from the site every day. The same can be said of others of the same vein, it seems, as there is another pharmacy that is located in the UK at Nottingham, which shares the same name as the Trust Pharmacy predecessor from Canada.
Many of the customers that have used this service have given an excellent rating to the website and declared that the pharmacists on site were professional, and that service was efficient and friendly. Aside from being helpful, the professionals helping customers also displayed compassion and dedication to their field. One person gave an account of leaving behind their medication, to which the pharmacy helped them recover it. Also, some had said that they had been able to receive their drugs promptly upon arrival.
In the same vein as Trust Pharmacy, it can be easy to be misled by the little markers you can find on a website, such as the security guarantees and the free shipping fees, but it is ultimately up to the client to look into the validity of a site or face the possibility of getting scammed.
When it comes to any business, trust is an important aspect that lets customers put their faith in you and has them coming back for more service. Online pharmacies need to overcome the hurdle that comes with internet business stigma. Unfortunately, many websites are not helping their case at all. Trust Pharmacy, while having the look and feel of a genuine online pharmacy that will help you get the meds you need, the site has actually been flagged as a site that is not reliable and that should not be engaged with by the CIPA.
Other pharmacies of similar names such as the Trust Pharmacy operating in the UK and World Trust Pharmacy need more digging for you to really determine if they are good websites to be using. One of the many ways to do this is to consult review websites and organizations that accredit online pharmacies. Finally, you can take a look at the approved online pharmacies we’ve got recommended for readers here. | 2019-04-24T20:35:59 | https://phcnonline.com/category/trust-pharmacy/ | [

For today’s demographic note we present the chipper consensus viewpoint of the UK government and the mainstream media, followed by a realistic perspective from Mark Steyn.
Karen Dunnell, the National Statistician, will bring together a wide range of evidence on the growing number of older people, and examine the changes this will bring to society and the economy.
It is the first time the National Statistician has focused on the issue in her “annual article”, which offers an in-depth examination of a particular aspect of Britain’s population figures.
At the same time, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) will publish figures showing that the UK’s birth rate surged last year to a 30-year high, driven by a baby boom among immigrant families. Among all babies born in the UK, 23 per cent had mothers who were born abroad. Whereas British-born women have only 1.7 children each on average, the figure is 3.9 for Bangladeshi-born women in Britain, and almost five for Pakistani-born women.
The conventional solution of homo economicus to the lack of homegrown young people is to import them. The remorseless aging of Britain suggests that no society in serious demographic decline can have an immigration rate high enough to compensate for it.
… By the way, that British-born 1.7 is only kept that high by the significantly higher birth rates of British-born women of Pakistani and Bangladeshi descent who now account for the main demographic energy in most English cities. Britain’s future will be more Muslim. The only question is how much more. But, at some point, those fertility rates put a question mark over the social compact. In 20 or 30 years’ time, will a young, demographically healthy Muslim working population with vast extended families be willing to pay confiscatory tax rates for the shuffleboard years of an aged, childless, fast shriveling Anglo-Celtic population? All welfare societies presuppose a commonality of interest that in the Britain of 2025 will no longer be there.
The burden of the ‘oldest old’ on the health care system (pp 21-22 in the report)raises the question if medical research should be shifted from prolonging human lifespan by curing illnesses/postponing death onto drugs which improve old peoples ability of fending for themselves even if it reduces lifespan.
Given that the people in schools today WILL be among the survivors who live to retire in 60 years or so, the demographics are a LOT more certain than climate change ever will be.
Just like us Social Security is bankrupt/ unsustainable.
Whether changing from Anglo-Celt to more Pakistani Muslim is a problem worth using gov’t force to try to fix or not is one issue; what the gov’t should do is a further issue (more gov’t tax reductions on those with kids — so that having two kids allows more consumption than having none?).
Japan’s demographics should be followed closely since they’re aging even faster, but without immigrant substitution.
If current trends in UK continue , those young working Pakistani Muslims in 2050 will be indistinguishable from the Phoenician Celtic Viking Mongol Saxon Dutch Jamacian Ugandan Polish Kosovan elderly they will be supporting.
Fabius Maximus replies: Do you have data on intermarriage rates to support this? From what I have seen in the general media (no studies), their intermarriage rates were quite low. Palistani in the UK typically either marry within their community or to spouses from Pakistan.
Pakistani women’s high birth rate will indeed produce the result Steyn predicts (along with a substantial mixed comunity with little Pakistani imput).
Those who have big families are subsidised by mainly white taxpayers at the moment through welfare benefits, you don’t think they will be grateful when they are in the majority?
Fabius Maximus replies: Thank you for the link to this interesting conference!
British Pakistani men will send home for first cousin wives, many wives. On the dole, with children, and an attitude. Not an attitude of gratitude toward taxpayers, no. Decapitate all those who offend Islam, is more the style.
Only one British marriage in fifty is of mixed race? 2%? Bloody hell, that’s nothing. Cohabitation is probably more common among mixed race couples.
Illegitimacy is quite high in mixed race relationships of cohabitation. Pregnancy is unlikely to lead to marriage, so the mixed race child often grows up without a father, or with a succession of “fathers.” Instead of leading to a happy population of mixed race peoples, a growing criminal and delinquent underclass is likely. Youth gangs of varying self-identification competing to make names for themselves as most to be feared.
I’m not a social scientist in any way .
But I dont think ethnicity or religion are as important as the way a society evolves and takes everyone with it , like different streams joining a river .
Maybe we will all work till we drop , live in extended families , refuse or be refused expensive grey healthcare , as society evolves in a different direction .
Are not state pensions , a giant Ponzi scheme ?
“birth rates of British-born women of Pakistani and Bangladeshi” are statistically insignificant, because of their small percentage and because their fertility rates is nearer to the national average than the foreign-born average. The 1.70 might be 1.68 if we take all second-generation immigrants out, thus both round to 1.7.
The problem is not one of immigrants–be they Muslim or not–overwhelming a “fast shriveling Anglo-Celtic population” that is only a distraction of the real problem in UK society, one that you have presented in a very nice graph sometime ago, namely the unequal distribution of wealth!!
The 1.7 does not represent five children on average for every three randomly selected women, because children are also unequally distributed in the UK society. A minority of wealthy housewives–husbands working in finance for example–have 3 to 4 children each; on the other side poor single-mothers on welfare have 3 to 4 children each. This leaves those in the middle with 0 to 1 child each. I think that is a much more relevant issue than the fertility of foreign-born women.
Looking back at the last 500 years Europeans have demographically overwhelmed large parts of the world: First ethnically cleansing Muslims out of what is now considered “Christian” Europe, then they immigrated to the Americas, Southern Africa, Australia, et cetera. They even tried to settle in Muslim lands like Algeria and Libya, even today Polish settlers in Palestine are well entrenched. Russians maybe now declining, but one has to remember that they went out of Muscovy and overwhelmed Muslims for centuries.
The solution for demographic decline is VERY easy: bar women with less than two children from higher education and employment and encourage early marriage!! This of course will have to be accompanied by a set of social-regulation unacceptable to the most conservative, e.g. anti-adulatory laws, family-friendly public domain, gender-separated schools, et cetera. You can’t have Victorian demographics without Victorian morals!
Fabius Maximus replies: Do you have any links to support your data? Esp the following?
You might be right. These seem incorrect to me, but this is not a field in which I have any expert knowledge. More important — as you can see even on this brief thread — this subject seems to attract folks making confident but unsupport assertions.
“The next largest group were the 8.7 per cent who were recorded as Asian – of whom Pakistanis formed the biggest section with 3.7 per cent…Bangladeshi 8,241 (1.3 per cent)”.
“The Muslim population in the United Kingdom may now number as many as 2 million, the home secretary, Jacqui Smith, disclosed yesterday during an official visit to Pakistan…/… The 400,000 increase in the size of the Muslim community in less than seven years demonstrates its position as the fastest growing faith community in Britain, and also reflects the age structure of the community, with more than one-third under the age of 16 at the time of the 2001 census. Outside London, Pakistani Muslims make up more than 43% of the community, with Bangladeshis accounting for 17%, and those from India at 9%. In London, the Muslim community is more evenly split between Pakistani and Bangladeshi Muslims”.
What if the British welfare system doesnt survive ? Its good , but its not that good now . If you own your home , have savings , OR are self employed , OR are illiterate and inarticulate ( complex forms to fill in ) you are likely to be left out in the welfare cold .
There are proably other ideas / models to be explored .
The extended family model is one that stands the test of time and geography . You pay in through help and care , rather than money , while you can ; and hope that the family in which you were born , or into which you slid yourself , will care for you in turn .
If your extended family are true Muslims or Christians , your chances are even better . | 2019-04-24T02:30:39 | https://fabiusmaximus.com/2008/12/20/demographics/ | [

We blatherumskites rarely get to rattle on about Irish ABCs (Alien Big Cats… not saucer-of-milk endowed extraterrestrials, but rather reports of large felines running loose in the Irish countryside), at least not to the extent that the phenomenon is said to take place in England, Scotland or Wales. Back in July 1997 *BBC Wildlife* magazine came under attack from Blather for its hyperbolic claims concerning the *Beasts of Dublin — Craze for macho pets lets loose wild animals on the streets* (See *The SAS, Aliens and Big Cats*), which claimed that one had to be careful navigating one’s way about the nation’s capital due to the proliferation of crazed syringe-waving lynx-owners.
Let it be known, apart from the odd procurement of maltreated caged pets by the Irish Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, the eagle-eared spies of Blather Inc. are so far blissfully inexperienced in the fine art of Urban Big Cat Avoidance.
However, this is not to say that we are totally bereft of *rural* reports. Tony ‘Doc’ Shiels reported claims of a lynx in Co. Cork in Fortean Times 34:20, and FT101:24 showed a picture of an African caracal lynx shot by the Royal Ulster Constabulary (RUC) in Fintona, Co. Tyrone on February 17th 1997. Other sightings are listed below. And while more ungulate than feline, that damned Wexford antelope is worth a mention.
On January 4th, 1999, the Belfast Telegraph (Or *The Belly Telly* as we have heard it referred to) told us that the ‘big cat is a dog’, and that according to the RUC, sightings of a ‘large puma-like cat in Tyrone over the weekend are probably shaggy dog stories’.
Apparently ‘the 5ft long, 3ft wide green eyed “feline” seen prowling fields and outhouses in the county is most likely a large St. Bernard dog reported missing from its home in Beragh’. The dog had strayed several days before the RUC announcement, but had only been reported as missing on January 3rd. Blather’s resident expert in canine optometry is currently enjoying his sabbatical in a Tipperary drying-out kennel, and we have no wish to disturb him, but we do wonder about green-eyed St. Bernards (and the small matter of witness testimony – they got close enough to determine eye colour, but not even a vague taxonomy?).
“As he wasn’t wearing the customary keg of brandy round his neck we can understand how there may have been mistaken identity”.
The hoors. Plans are now underway to rear St. Bernard-eating servals on Blather set-aside farmland. An application for grant aid from the European Community has been submitted.
Last week, Blather gave way to a footnote, ‘explaining’ the origin of the word *kibosh* by quoting from *Slanguage – a Dictionary of Slang and Colloquial English in Ireland*; ‘…derivative disputed but possibly from Irish *caipÃn báis*, cap of death, or pitch cap, as employed by British forces against 1798 insurgents; verbal usage other origin and not general Hiberno-English’. Without seeking to turn Blather into a vessel of linguistic lessons, we take the liberty of expanding and expounding on this matter.
A Bob Richardson was in touch to inform us of an article called *Putting the Kibosh On It – An unEnglish expression?*, which expands on the Hebrew explanations, and adds that Webster’s New World Dictionary ‘apparently derives it from Middle High German kiebe, meaning “carrion”‘. | 2019-04-23T10:40:12 | http://www.blather.net/theblather/1999/01/furry_cat_stories/ | [

Melchizedek himself overlights this R.E.T. through the I AM presence of any individual that is worked upon. The R.E.T. itself speaks for itself: the Golden Rod acts as an axis similar as that which supports the Earth, “axis” meaning holographic “rod line” about which a body rotates. The central column of any symmetrical body is the anchoring Golden Rod on the Cosmic level of that body; as the Earth is anchored by its axis, so too does an individual’s Spinal Rod align cosmically with the higher grids of light.
A rotation method is used during this process in which the higher mind of the individual is anchored into the immediate Grid in alignment with the higher chakras. All major and minor meridians will experience a greater flow of “cosmic law” enabling a higher purpose and alignment of true self to serve the personality. This is designed in preparation for the Cosmic Tree of Life R.E.T. sessions (to be revealed at a later date).
The grid of the Omniverse flows through this axiational alignment towards the session’s end, pushing one ever so gently once more to a new limit or paradigm experience in the now, creating an expanded future of the higher Heart Mind.
This is all I am prepared to say at this stage regarding this R.E.T. technique, though I will finish by adding that the Rod itself holds”Cosmic Encodings”. | 2019-04-24T08:13:12 | http://www.pyramidoflight.com/golden-spinal-rod-infusion-order-melchizedek/ | [

DW’s new English news channel was created for people all over the world who are looking for news and information that supports and inspires them to shape their communities. During the past few months, DW has searched for these local heroes, and at every point we have found and celebrated people who are doing remarkable things and making a difference.
Most recently in Ghana, DW and local broadcaster Joy News organized a “Heromobile”, which is travelling around the capital city Accra with local musicians and went looking for people who stand out, make a difference or work hard for change. DW and Joy News collected and shared their stories taking pictures of the participants and created an atmosphere of celebration.
Earlier this summer in Kenya, DW organized The Local Heroes Journalism Competition, which encouraged young journalists to create a journalism project profiling local heroes making a difference in their communities. The competition drew a lot of interest and promoted quality journalism while giving Kenyan local heroes the recognition they deserve.
In Pakistan last month, speaking engagements in cooperation with local broadcasting partners honored local heroes and let them tell their story. Highlights from Pakistan included Samar Minallah Khan, documentary filmmaker and women’s rights activist who helped make the practice of forced marriage in Pakistan illegal. In Bangladesh, DW has honored Infoladies, who bike hundreds of miles to bring advice and medicine to thousands in remote, impoverished villages. There are currently around 70 Infoladies working mainly with women and girls as well as with disabled and elderly people, connecting them to the rest of the community.
In an online call to action over the summer, DW asked people from anywhere in the world to submit the story of their local hero. Facebook posts on both DW News and 12 websites from DW’s various Asia and Africa departments combined to help draw attention to the new channel and encouraged people to share interesting stories of their local heroes with DW. The campaign was received with a lot of enthusiasm by online users. The various local hero stories complied by the participating DW editorial departments generated over 1 million reactions. The language groups that showed the most interaction with online posts were Dari, English and Bengali.
DW has shown that local heroes come from everywhere and anyone who has a vision and passion can make a difference in their communities – and there are always more stories to tell.
Across Africa from Kenya to Nigeria, a new media-savvy generation is emerging along with a new demand for opportunity, development and quality journalism. By reaching out to individuals, creating new partnerships and actively encouraging media development, DW has created a foundation for success in different African markets, while at the same time giving value back.
By adding value to partnerships and cooperating with local media in different regions, DW can help improve people’s lives with information and help set examples of transparency, legitimacy and professionalism in media.
DW’s international media development organization, DW Akademie, is very active in Africa and has been for over 50 years. DW Akademie’s first international project was a radio training program in Rwanda. Their newest initiative is a recently-signed partnership with Aga Khan University Graduate School of Media and Communications (AKU-GSMC) in Nairobi, Kenya.
The university is focused on developing media professionals for the Kenyan media market. DW is there to help guide and educate them with world-class standards of journalistic practice. In return, DW will gain valuable insight into the nuances of the local media landscape. The six-year agreement centers on the development of professional education and training standards for communications experts in East Africa. Through exchanging experience, competences and ideas, both sides will benefit. DW gains visibilty in an important media market and the courses at AKU-GSMC can improve and develop with the expertise and experience provided by DW Akademie.
Kenya is one of the quickest growing media markets in Africa and there is a burgeoning interest in media education amongst young Kenyans. The market is growing more competitive and innovative.
DW recently produced a journalism competition for young journalists in Kenya. They were asked to create a journalism project that profiled a local hero in their region. Local heroes are people who make a difference in their communities and help those around them. The competition was organized in cooperation with The Standard Group, which is the largest media company in Kenya. The competition showed how through cooperating with partners, DW can affect the lives of people in African target audiences while gaining valuable partners and a positive local image.
Nigeria is another important market for DW in Africa. DW has been expanding its presence in the region after adding two foreign correspondents last year in Lagos and recently signing a deal with Channels TV, the largest news broadcaster in Nigeria. The deal includes direct DW reports from the Frankfurt Stock Exchange produced exclusively for audiences in Nigeria. This example of coproducing and sharing technical capacity is a model for the future of how DW will provide international quality journalism to local audiences.
Programs like Focus on Africa and Crossroads Generation emphasize individuals who help to set examples and serve as role models. They provide examples that turn away from the image of the continent as only being beset by turmoil and focus on positive actions from a younger generation.
DW will succeed in African markets by working with partners, reaching people where they are, educating media professionals and promoting journalism education. These are all very positive steps with the consistent goal to improve the overall media landscape in African countries.
Smartphones are fast becoming the standard tool for consuming news and information, but for many people in developing and emerging countries, this technology is still out of reach. It is estimated that out of the total 5 billion mobile users worldwide, only 1 billion are using smartphones. The remaining number represents a majority of people in emerging and developing countries who are using 2G or “feature phones” for mobile Internet access.
DW works hard to provide top-quality news and information to people in hard to reach places. In emerging markets such as in Africa, expensive Internet and mobile technology makes smartphones a luxury that few can afford. Most people try to use their feature phones to access valuable social networks and online news which usually demands a higher level of data processing than these devices can provide – but there are some solutions.
A innovative platform called biNu is providing a way for feature phones to efficiently navigate the web. And since June, DW has been cooperating with biNu to provide feature phone users in Africa with easy access to DW’s high-quality online news content.
The biNu app provides high-end functionality by turning feature phones with a basic Internet connection into “virtual smartphones.” It achieves this by using cloud networks to process and compress data from websites allowing the end result to be easily used via a feature phone. The result of using a cloud platform to streamline data is a service that is 10 times faster than a standard mobile browser while requiring 10 times less bandwidth. The displays are simplified and optimized for a feature phone and the most important elements of the website are passed on to the user.
The service already has more than 900,000 users in Africa, mostly located in fast-growing media markets like Nigeria, Kenya, South Africa and Ghana but also in countries like Zimbabwe and Ethiopia where, because of the difficult political climate, are harder for international media to access.
Even as infrastructure improves, the low cost of feature phones and continually expensive network and Internet access means that many people in these developing countries will continue to use their mobile phones as the primary device for going online. Providing them with easily accessible news, information and social networks is a hugely important task. Through cooperating with biNu, DW can overcome the disparity in international technological standards and provide information that people need on the device that they prefer. | 2019-04-25T19:43:31 | http://blogs.dw.com/insider/tag/kenya/ | [

This research, involving 77 young people, examines young people¿s experiences of bullying- not just those who are bullied, but also young people who bully and young people who witness bullying in day to day life.
It specifically looks at racist bullying and identity related bullying and outlines how young people get bullied by adults as well as other young people within school and within the community. It makes concrete recommendations about how to reduce and combat identity related bullying and how to tackle bullying that takes place within the community. | 2019-04-18T20:43:59 | http://www.barnardos.org.uk/what_we_do/policy_research_unit/research_and_publications/young-peoples-experiences-of-and-solutions-to-identity-related-bullying-research-report/publication-view.jsp?pid=PUB-1430 | [

I posted this before but it still makes me laugh.
Your best round of golf will be followed almost immediately by your worst round ever. The probability of the latter increases with the number of people you tell about the former.
Brand new golf balls are water-magnetic. Though this cannot be proven in the lab, it is a known fact that the more expensive the golf ball, the greater its attraction to water. Expensive clubs have been known to be partly made with this most unusual natural alloy.
Golf balls never bounce off of trees back into play. If one does, the tree is breaking a law of the universe and should be cut down.
The higher a golfer's handicap, the more qualified he deems himself as an instructor.
A golfer hitting into your group will always be bigger than anyone in your group. Likewise, a group you accidentally hit into will consist of a football player, a professional wrestler, a convicted murderer and an IRS agent -- or some similar combination.
All 3-woods are demon-possessed. Your Mother in Law does not come close.
Golf balls from the same "sleeve" tend to follow one another, particularly out of bounds or into the water. See LAW 3.
The last three holes of a round will automatically adjust your score to what it really should be.
Golf should be given up at least twice per month.
All vows taken on a golf course shall be valid only until the sunset.
Since bad shots come in groups of three, your fourth consecutive bad shot is really the beginning of the next group of three.
If it isn't broke, try changing your grip.
It's surprisingly easy to hole a 50-foot putt when you lie 8.
It's not a gimme if you're still 4 feet away.
Every time a golfer makes a birdie, he must subsequently make a double or triple bogey to restore the fundamental equilibrium of the universe.
If you want to hit a 7-iron as far as Tiger Woods does, simply try to use it to lay up just short of a water hazard.
25. Tossing grass into the air only proves your a ****.
Mrs. Pelz's Mother is the exception that proves rule 7.
You lost me at %&$*!-ier.
I guess the new forum budget was spent on bright white and not a profanity censor.
you're correct.. hahaha. I think throwing grass kinda defeats the point.
This should be carved in stone on the first tee.
Funny stuff! So true on 22!
The easiest way to guarantee a bogie is to have a par opportunity. | 2019-04-22T14:55:11 | https://forums.golfwrx.com/discussion/1758808/24-laws-of-golf | [

Whistleblowers often have a tough time taking on their employer. Even those that take on a former employer can still face an uphill battle. It is often a true David versus Goliath fight, one in which a single employee tries to take on huge and powerful corporations.
To encourage whistleblowers to file suits and help stop greed and fraud, the law allows whistleblowers to receive a cash award of up to 30% of what the government collects. Million dollar awards are common.
In addition to the awards, the law also protects whistleblowers from retaliation. The court can award double damages to an aggrieved employee.
Finally, the False Claims Act provides that the whistleblowers’ legal counsel can be awarded fees and costs. This is especially important when the lawyers must prosecute the case privately or spend years prosecuting retaliation claims.
Recently the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals decided a case involving these counsel fees. For those not familiar, the 6th Circuit is the top federal appeals court covering Ohio, Kentucky, Michigan and Tennessee. Those of us who primarily represent whistleblowers don’t always consider it the friendliest court but an opinion this month certainly shows that the court still appreciates whistleblowers and the need for counsel fees.
In 2014, Community Health Systems (CHS) agreed to pay $97 million to settle claims that the company engaged in medically unnecessary emergency admissions, illegally paid kickbacks to physicians who referred patients to the company’s Laredo Medical Center and improperly billed for inpatient procedures. The case was actually the consolidation of several cases filed by whistleblowers.
Because all the alleged wrongdoing involved Medicare, the cases were brought under the federal False Claims Act. After the case settled, a dispute arose over the nearly 7,000 hours of billable time expended by the several law firms that were involved in the case.
“I write separately to address the purposes and goals of the False Claims Act, which set the perspective through which the courts (and the government) should view all FCA litigation.
“Health care fraud is rampant in the United States. Some estimate that fraud costs Medicare and Medicaid between $30 billion and $98 billion annually. In one way or another, we all pay for this fraud through higher health insurance premiums, copayments, and taxes.
“The FCA is one of the Government’s most effective tools for combatting health care fraud. ‘To date, the FCA has helped the government recover more fraudulently spent Medicare dollars than any other mechanism within the federal government.’ (Joshua A. Levy, Lessons from the Private Enforcement of Health Care Fraud). In 2014, for instance, while the Government recovered only $454 million through the Department of Health and Human Services’ fraud prevention system, it recovered $2.3 billion from health care FCA cases. In addition, evidence provided by FCA whistleblowers has resulted in dozens of criminal convictions and administrative exclusions that otherwise may not have occurred.
“Without a doubt, relators and their attorneys play a vital role in rooting out health care fraud and obtaining recovery of the public monies that were intended to be spent for providing health care to veterans and poor, elderly, and disabled citizens. Fostering such recoveries under the FCA must include recognition that theseactions are not without economic risks and other dangers to relators and their counsel. A relator takes very real risks in coming forward to report fraud—an action that often includes obtaining and providing evidence against his/her employer that involves substantial sums of money and potential criminal liability. And providing that evidence is just the beginning. Attorneys then must undertake the substantial investigative work and expense of putting together a case for their relators then present it to government officials to determine if the government is willing to proceed with the litigation. Counsel routinely undertake this work without knowing whether other qui tam complaints have been filed under seal elsewhere. If the government decides that the information provided would be useful to it in vindicating society’s interests, it may share information about other qui tam cases and create a group of counsel to do the work that is necessary to prosecute the case. This work often takes years during which the government runs the sealed case, including assigning tasks to various counsel and approaching the defendant about the claims and monetary settlement. To consummate any settlement it negotiates, the government intervenes in and unseals the qui tam complaints filed by relators on its behalf. Though the government’s bargain sets the basic terms of the settlement agreement, the timetable, and resolves payment to the relators; counsel are often left to negotiate the terms governing payment of attorney fees—even for the considerable work accomplished by counsel at the government’s behest. Much is at stake because these negotiations may determine whether a defendant—which took public money through health care fraud—must pay a relator’s counsel for their work in forcing the return of that money. There are practical reasons for this framework but it also entails practical problems: negotiations are often rushed, counsel for the various relators may have differing opportunity to draft agreement terms, and they do not have the leverage that the government has.
The case is United States ex rel. Doghramji, (6th Cir. Nov. 22, 2016).
It is refreshing to see that courts truly appreciate the value that whistleblowers and their lawyers contribute to society and particularly the hardships that whistleblowers must endure when taking on a powerful company.
We are honored to represent whistleblowers and frequently humbled by the sacrifices they make to put a stop to greed, fraud and corruption. If you have inside information about such wrongdoing, you too may be entitled to an award.
To determine whether you may have a claim, give us a call. All inquiries are confidential and without obligation. Even if you never hire us, what you tell us is protected by the attorney – client privilege. Our experienced whistleblower lawyers’ can help evaluate your case, investigate and file your claim and protect you against illegal whistleblower retaliation claims. In the last five years, we have helped our clients collect over $100 million in awards. | 2019-04-21T17:09:37 | https://www.mahanyertl.com/2016/federal-appeals-court-win-whistleblowers/ | [

Boy, I really hate such posts, as if you'd take it up the buttocks if that was you; if so, don't bother buying new. Of course OP was silly to take the car 'as is' even though there's an obvious scratch, but, cmon, it's a freaky new car, s/he should expect it to be virtually 'perfect'. The dealership's basically slimy for trying to 'get away' w/ it.
+1, and for those posts that say it's a Mazda and not a Ferrari; not everyone can afford a Ferrari. I don't care if it cost $2, $200, $2000 or whatever. If I buy a new car, I expect it to be perfect.
Virtually perfect from stealerships. Not happening.
Write a letter to Mazda Canada. If the scratch can't be fixed. I would demand a new hood. Make sure you write in there that the dealership acknowledges it's at fault and agrees to fix it until they refused. Mazda Canada may reimburse the dealership so they be willing to get you a new hood. Otherwise, use your skills and sue them.
damn good work. I need some of your negotiation skills. Need to find that woman that destroyed my car last week and demand a new car. Anyways, enjoy the new ride.
You need to dump your car into a lake, so you can upgrade to a F type.
FYI I just got a call from the dealership and they are going to replace the complete hood of the car.
Your a little late to the party. Post #26 above op got the dealership to replace the hood.
this wasn't exactly cheap, 35,000$ pretty much.
luckily I didn't have to raise a stink for this issue, the hood is being replaced next week, hopefully all is good after that.
Make sure you look over the new hood good. Have they told you where the new hood is coming from?
I would of simply negotiated a further discount, or let them repaint. | 2019-04-23T16:02:20 | http://forums.redflagdeals.com/new-car-scratch-1826989/5/ | [

A persistent sore throat combined with shortness of breath, problems in swallowing or an ear ache is an indication of laryngeal cancer rather than hoarseness alone, a new study warns.
"This research matters - when NICE guidance for cancer investigation was published there was no evidence from GP to guide this - nor to inform GPs. Crucially, hoarseness serious enough to be reported to GPs does warrant investigation," said Willie Hamilton, Professor at the University of Exeter in Britain.
"Furthermore, our research has shown the potential severity of some symptom combinations previously thought to be low-risk.
"There's still some way to go and the results of this study really highlight the need to improve the current recommendations for all of the head and neck cancers - which are either incomplete or absent," said lead author Elizabeth Shephard from the varsity. | 2019-04-18T18:40:36 | https://fit.thequint.com/cancer/persistent-sore-throat-could-indicate-laryngeal-cancer | [

Viewers will not want to miss Friday’s episode of General Hospital. Spoilers tease that everybody will see lots of juicy scenes revolving around the Lulu and Ryan storyline and the January 25 show will seemingly set fans up for a big surprise next week, too.
As Friday’s show begins, General Hospital spoilers indicate that Lulu will remain unconscious after the attack and her emergency surgery. The sneak peek shared via Twitter details that Laura will be by her daughter’s bedside, begging her to wake up. In addition, Lulu’s father-in-law, Sonny, will pay a visit to her as well.
While it sounds as if Lulu will face a lengthy, difficult recovery, General Hospital spoilers suggest that she might peek her eyes open during Friday’s show. Even if she does start to regain consciousness, viewers should be prepared to learn that she won’t be able to share any bombshells about her attacker at this point.
Elsewhere in General Hospital, spoilers suggest that Ryan will be finding out whether his sight has been restored. SheKnows Soaps notes that Ava will be by Ryan’s side — and it sounds as if he probably will be able to see again. Next week, it’s said that he’ll try to finish the job he started with Lulu.
Across town, General Hospital spoilers reveal that Jordan will talk with Anna about the case. Jordan had wanted to grill Peter about where he was prior to the attack on Lulu, and naturally, Anna was quite concerned about this. It looks as if Jordan will share some in-depth information with Anna about what they know about the attacks so far — and Anna will be getting some answers about something.
During Thursday’s episode, Jason and Sam finally made love again. As the Inquisitr previously detailed, Jason and Sam will be fully together going forward, although they will try to keep this development under the radar for the most part. During Friday’s show, however, it seems that Sam will voice some anxiety about what happens when Jason leaves her place.
Jason will promise Sam that things are different now. He was patient in waiting for her to decide what she wanted — and when she was ready to move forward — but he’s all-in when it comes to being reunited with his love. While Sam might feel anxious, he’ll promise that he’s coming back.
Fans always love to see Tristan Rogers pop up as Robert, and they’re in for a treat heading into the February sweeps. Rogers is back beginning with Friday’s show — and General Hospital spoilers hint that soon Robert and Finn will be working together to figure out how Anna was infected with the virus.
Franco and Elizabeth will further discuss the situation with Aiden, and the possibility that he’s gay. All signs point toward the couple reaching out and doing their best to support the little boy during this journey. The next show will also have some scenes involving Maxie and Peter as a relationship continues to slowly evolve between the two.
There are a lot of questions remaining regarding what happens next with Ryan and this case. General Hospital spoilers hint that there may be at least one more victim before he’s caught and he’ll seemingly go to great lengths to avoid detection. Don’t miss any of the drama coming up with Friday’s show, and stay tuned for additional teasers regarding what’s coming next. | 2019-04-21T22:05:26 | https://www.inquisitr.com/5266344/general-hospital-spoilers-january-25-2019-fridayl/ | [

A bit earlier with my bets this weekend and plenty to get stuck into, including another bet for my Ante-post portfolio on Wigan to go down at evens. They travel to West Ham in what promises to be a dire game, full of strikers who couldn’t hit a pigs backside with a banjo, and should they lose this evens price will shrink further. This bet on the pie-eaters to go down compliments a number of my existing ante-post selections and they are a poor team, have only scored 10 goals all year and will be lucky to stay up in my opinion.
As for this weekend, well it finally seems that everyone else has finally caught on to how good Bolton have been of late. They have been racking up the goals and I don’t think Blackpool will be able to stop their bandwagon so fancy the trotters to overcome a -1 handicap at 2.07. With Matt Gilks out, the Tangerines are considerably weaker and I am hopeful that Elmander and Davies can rattle a few more in this Lancashire derby. Gilks replacement – Kingston, is never far from dropping a clanger, let’s hope it’s this weekend.
Call me a fool but I am also going to stick with Fulham to win this weekend, even after their pasting by City last Sunday. I wonder if there has been an over-reaction to Fulham odds wise this week as the Cottagers haven’t been that bad this season (Sunday apart!). They have had a tough start, playing 5 of the top 7 already and I feel they are in a false position. Last year they won 11 out of 18 at the Cottage and Brum lost 12 out of 18 on the road. Thus the odds of 2.1 on a home win indicate a 47.6% chance, whereas I make it 50%+.
Similarly Wolves are a very big price to beat Sunderland this weekend, no doubt influenced by their woeful run of late and the Black Cats recent 3-0 mauling at Chelsea. Facts are though that the win at Stamford Bridge was Sunderland’s first away from home this season and Wolves have had the toughest run of games imaginable. I am going to take the 0 Asian Handicap on Wolves at 1.94 with SBObet.
My final main bet is on Spurs to see off Liverpool as they have a very strong home record and the odds of 2.15 look far too big. They won 14 out of 19 home games last year and Liverpool have lost their last 6 away games at the league’s top teams in recent times (Spurs, UtdX2, Chelsea, Arsenal , City). I make Spurs more of a 50% chance at least so anything over evens is value.
Two shortlist bets as well as Arsenal at 2.26 look well placed to see off a young Villa team, although the loss of Fabregas is a blow. Everton and West Brom have been shot shy recently and can easily see this finishing 1-0 or 1-1 so the 2.02 on under 2.5 goals appeals.
Liverpool are a team with a famous home record and despite Stevie G’s latest injury and the frightening prospect of Christian Poulsen replacing him, they look under-rated to beat West Ham this weekend. Avram Grant may look like a funeral director and he is certainly giving off the air of a dead-man walking as he looks not long for the Upton Park hotseat. After watching the Hammers last week their strikers would struggle to finish their tea and they have a woeful away record in recent times. Roy Hodgson often has a very good home record with his teams and Liverpool to overcome a -1 Asian Handicap at 2.12 with SBObet looks a quality bet to me.
Mark Hughes will be the focus of attention on Sunday as his new charges Fulham host Man City, in a game you just know he will have his team fired up for. Fulham have a very good home record and only lost to Spurs at the Cottage recently thanks to a dodgy referee decision. The 1.91 from SBObet on the home team with a +0.25 Asian Handicap means a decent profit even if they draw and I am backing them here.
Bolton is famous for a few things in my eyes – Phoenix Nights, Big Sam’s double chin and of course the fact they have been criminally under-rated by the bookies this season. After watching the likes of Johan Elmander look more like Johan Cruyff last weekend, with his amazing goal against Wolves, you would think more people would be backing them. They remain a very well drilled Premier league outfit and I fancy them at 2.20 to beat an inconsistent Newcastle.
Elsewhere I am backing another team with a strong home record as I feel Blackburn will provide Aston Villa’s youngsters with a very tough physical challenge and may well have too much for them. As impressive as they were against a depleted United side last week, an away-day battering at Ewood Park may represent a totally different experience for Houllier’s youthful team and I am siding with Big Sam’s outfit to overcome a -0.25 Handicap at 1.98 with Ladbrokes.
Finally a couple of under and over 2.5 goals bets, firstly at West Brom, who host a Stoke team shot-shy on the road. Last season Stoke went unders in 74% of all away games and West Brom have been under in 67% of games this season. Neither team look particularly potent up front and the 1.85 on under 2.5 goals with Expekt rates this as a 54% chance. I think it’s more of a 60% chance and so am having a bet.
One shortlist bet is Everton away at Sunderland, where the over 2.5 goals looks too big at 2.42, which is a 41% chance. Everton went overs in 58% of all away games and Sunderland in 47% of all homes games last season. Neither team has been banging them in this year as yet but that will change and I think the likely % chance is closer to 50%, so we have value there.
Blackpool have been a breath of fresh air this season, not least for the crazy bumpkin manager Ian Holloway but for their at time kamikaze gung-ho attacking play. The tangerines travel down this weekend to face leaky West Ham in a game that has goals written all over it in 10 foot tall neon letters. The Hammers have gone overs in around 65% of all home games, whereas Blackpool have been overs in 10 out of 12 games this season. Neither team can defend to save their lives and with the home team having to win this game, expect an attacking outlook. The bookies have it pegged at a 2.14 for over 3 goals (basically we lose if 2 or less goals, draw if 3 goals and win if 4 goals or more) and I am having a piece of that!
My perennial fave team this year Bolton, continue to look under-rated by the bookies and look value once again as they travel to Molineux to face Wolves. Bolton have been beaten only twice this season by Arsenal and Liverpool despite a very tricky set of games so far. I make the chance of a draw or Bolton win to be around 55 to 60%, which equates to odds of about 1.74. The bookies are offering me 1.91 with Stan James on them with a +0.25 Asian Handicap so there is clear value there.
Elsewhere I also fancy 3 teams who are strong at home in the form of Everton, Stoke and Aston Villa to win for me this weekend.
Villa have been beaten only once at home by a top 8 team and conversely United have won only 3 games away against the top 8 since the 09/10 season. A United away win I rate at between 30 – 40% chance here and considering the likes of Scholes, Rooney & Giggs are out they may struggle to break Villa down. I’m taking the +0.5 Asian Handicap on Villa at 2.14 with 12Bet as I make the true odds of this to be around 2.0.
Everton have been playing well with little reward lately as they can’t find the back of the net but stats show their dominance in matches. Historically under David Moyes, Everton have a formidable home record and Arsenal will do well to win here so the +0.5 on Everton at 1.78 from 188bet appeals.
Finally Stoke have endured a very tough run of games, not helped by some very dodgy referees decisions and they host a tired looking Liverpool who look to be feeling the effects of having such a small squad. Stoke are notoriously difficult to break down and only lost at home to the top 4 teams last season. I am taking the +0.5 Asian Handicap again on the home outfit at 1.88 with Stan James. | 2019-04-22T04:35:57 | https://smartbettingclub.com/blog/2010/11/ | [

New album "Green" August 3rd on Practical Records.
Anna Luisa Petrisko is a visual artist and musician. Whether it is experimental opera, multimedia installation, or a tropical new age pop album, her work is otherworldly spectacle that explores future and ancient ideas, invested as much in the sacred as in technological speculation. Anna Luisa's trademark hand-painted bodysuits are re-indigenized alien skin, an embodied research project and reconception of pre-colonial tattooing practices of Pacific Ocean Peoples.
She recently received the MAP Fund Award for her forthcoming opera & installation which will premiere at LACE Gallery in November 2019. | 2019-04-22T07:01:45 | https://annaluisapetrisko.com/ | [

Wow! This was big news! Shocking! Gilgamesh turns out to be more than fiction or myth, contrary to what academia has been pushing for a century. Gilgamesh was a real person and they found his tomb, just as it was said in the epic, built under the course of the Euphrates River! It only got a little mention in the BBC (in One Minute World News) where Uruk – the origin of eponymous Iraq!
NOTE how the BBC says “believed found!” If it was “Lucy’s” bones found over a couple square kilometers, they’d say, “definite proof of humanoid primate!” See, it all depends on what they want you to believe.
In this case the find of Gilgamesh tomb ought to be called the find of the decade or of the 21st century, as yet another ancient literary source (2300 BC) turns out to be historical and less “mythological” than widely assumed. Uruk was the first city? Responsible for most first inventions, like writing, law, education, taxes, love songs, ethics, justice, agriculture, medicine, love and family? Wow, that early?
But inspite of all these proven first inventions, mainstream historians don’t trust Sumer’s own historical writings and denounce them as fictitious mythology without any core of truth. After all they were the immdiate descendents of stupid cavemen and hunter gatherers! And Euhemerism is ‘a bad bad method of doing history!’ For sure!!
Turkish archaeologists claim a historical discovery as they believe they have found pieces of the Trojan Horse.
According to a report by newsit.gr, Turkish archaeologists excavating on the site of the historical city of Troy on the hills of Hisarlik, have unearthed a large wooden structure. Historians and archaeologists presume that the pieces are remains of the legendary Trojan Horse.
Excavations brought to light dozens of fir planks and beams up to 15 meters long, assembled in a strange form. The wooden assembly was inside the walls of the ancient city of Troy. Fir planks were used for building seafaring ships, archaeologists say.
The Trojan Horse is considered to be a mythical structure. Described as a horse in Homer’s Odyssey, historians suggest that the writer was making an analogy for a war machine, or a natural disaster.
The structure found fits the description by Homer, Virgil, Augustus and Quintus Smyrnaeus. So, archaeologists tend to believe that the finding is indeed the remains of the subterfuge Greeks used to conquer ancient Troy.
Another discovery that supports the archaeologists’ claims is a damaged bronze plate with the inscription “For their return home, the Greeks dedicate this offering to Athena.” Quintus Smyrnaeus refers to the particular plate in his epic poem “Posthomerica” and the plate was also found on the site.
The two archaeologists leading the excavation, Boston University professors Christine Morris and Chris Wilson, say that they have a “high level of confidence” that the structure is indeed linked to the legendary horse. They say that all the tests performed up to now have only confirmed their theory. | 2019-04-18T17:15:57 | https://ancientpatriarchs.wordpress.com/tag/euhemerism/ | [

CAGUAS, Puerto Rico – At least 4,645 people died as a result of Hurricane Maria and its devastation across Puerto Rico last year, according to a new Harvard study released Tuesday, an estimate that far exceeds the official government death toll, which stands at 64.
The official death estimates have drawn sharp criticism from experts and local residents, and the new study criticized Puerto Rico’s methods for counting the dead – and its lack of transparency in sharing information – as detrimental to planning for future natural disasters. The authors called for patients, communities and doctors to develop contingency plans for natural disasters.
More than eight months after Hurricane Maria devastated Puerto Rico, the island’s slow recovery has been marked by a persistent lack of water, a faltering power grid and a lack of essential services – all of which have imperiled the lives of many residents who have been struggling to get back on their feet, especially the infirm and those in remote areas, some of which were the hardest hit in September.
The official toll included a variety of people from across Puerto Rico, such as those who suffered injuries, were swept away in floodwaters, or were unable to reach hospitals while facing severe medical conditions. No. 56 was a person from the city of Carolina who was bleeding from the mouth but could not reach a hospital in the days after the storm. Once arrived, the patient was diagnosed with pneumonia and died of kidney failure. No. 43, from Juncos, suffered from respiratory ailments and went to the hospital – only to be released because of the coming storm. That person later returned, dead.
Gov. Ricardo Rossells’s administration did not immediately release mortality data nor did officials provide much information publicly about the process officials were using to count the dead. But officials and physicians acknowledged privately that there were probably many, many more deaths and bodies piling up in morgues across the island.
After pressure from Congress and statistical analyses from news organizations that put the death toll at higher than 1,000, Rossells enlisted the help of George Washington University experts to review the government’s death certification process. He promised that “regardless of what the death certificate says,” each death would be inspected closely to ensure a correct tally.
“This is about more than numbers, these are lives: real people, leaving behind loved ones and families,” Rossells said at a news conference in late February.

When you take a close look at the situation with drug abuse and addiction in our society, you will begin to understand how much damage this degenerative, chronic disease has inflicted on innocent human beings around the world. However, one of the most dangerous illnesses infecting our world (in a cruel and ironic twist) also happens to be one of the easiest problems we can prevent. After all, it should be easy to hold up your hand and “just say no,” right? If only it was that easy all the time.
Unfortunately, due to the flow of prescription opioids (potentially addictive and dangerous drugs) and other dangerous drugs, addiction has continued to plague countries across the globe. Besides obvious health risks like lung cancer or nerve cell damage, though, addictive substances can also contribute to the transmission of deadly infections and viruses (some of which cannot be cured). Sometimes, a drug addict will use an infected needle or unclean equipment. In another case, these individuals (already high on drugs) will engage in risky behavior that may include unprotected intimate acts with an infected individual. As a result, as we have seen in many cases around the world, these victims will contract one of the deadliest viruses known today: HIV.
Sadly, HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) is a very tragic and very real aspect of our world and, through many circumstances, is transmitted through risky drug activity or sexual acts. Unlike other viruses or infections that affect our bodies, HIV does not have a cure and ultimately strikes with a vengeance. Over time, victims of this sickness will begin to break down physically and mentally, with no promise of management for their dual-illness (HIV and addiction). So how do we help them?
Fortunately, one doctor and his research team at the Ohio State University (Columbus, Ohio) may have discovered a potentially life-saving series of treatment programs for drug addicts suffering from HIV/AIDS. While he might not have found a cure, this physician has found a way to help addicts live longer. Let’s take a closer look and find out more information.
Scientifically identified as the human immunodeficiency virus, HIV is a deadly illness that can be contracted through sexual activity, fluid exchange (transfusion), or dirty/infected equipment (in the case of drug addicts/abusers). Simply put, this virus directly assaults the immune system and specifically targets CD4 cells (T cells), a powerful “defense force” that defends our bodies from infections. Left untreated, HIV will eventually destroy so many CD4 cells that victims’ bodies can no longer protect them from foreign elements, allowing additional viruses or diseases like cancer to develop much easier than before.
Fortunately, victims of HIV can prevent the onset of Stage 2 through antiretroviral therapy (ART), an immensely beneficial medication (a miracle drug, of sorts) that can ensure a victim’s lifespan is equivalent to a person who is not suffering from HIV.
However, one question remains- how do you ensure drug addicts stay clean and endure this valuable treatment?
Addicts who inject potent drugs and simultaneously suffer from HIV can often experience a dangerously high death rate and will have to break through many tough barriers (in comparison to an addict who is not suffering from AIDS). However, Dr. William Miller, a member of the Ohio State University (in Columbus, Ohio) may have found a way to help these people cope with HIV and break away from addictive substances.
For the study, Dr. Miller gathered an international team of researchers (partnered with the HIV Prevention Trials Network) studied participants from three countries that suffer from the highest rates of addiction and HIV (comorbid rates). In total, Miller and his team recruited 502 people (men and women) who injected addictive drugs and also suffered from HIV in Ukraine, Indonesia, and Vietnam. So what were the results of this experiment?
After 1 year of performance, 72% of people who took part in the integrated intervention therapy were completing antiretroviral therapy (ART). Even more fascinating, 41% of the subjects had no trace of the virus in their bloodstreams, in contrast to individuals who completed standard care (43% to 24%). Likewise, the test subjects of Miller’s study were more likely to partake in medication-assisted therapy for their drug addiction. Ultimately, only 7% of the subjects died, in contrast to the 15% rate among standard-care patients.
What could be better news than that? According to Miller and his team, after the year-long study had been finished, no new outbursts of HIV had occurred among the 187 patients they had studied.
At The Recover, we fully understand how difficult the treatment process can be for addicts through our daily work to help these individuals overcome this terrible, painful disease. Although many people believe they can overcome their problems without help, residential drug treatment programs are still an essential step on the road to recovery. Although the path to health and happiness might not be an easy one to take, you can finally enter the threshold to freedom with the help of a loving, supporting team. Additional aspects like counseling and psychological care can ensure you address underlying psychological issues that ultimately led you to become an addict. From here, you can build an infrastructure that will help you live your life with entering relapse, all with the help of a solid residential drug treatment program. | 2019-04-21T04:37:57 | https://www.therecover.com/osu-team-confirms-integrated-intervention-program-is-beneficial-to-drug-addicts-with-hiv-aids/ | [

I didn’t notice, but I’ve been told George W, Bush delivered his latest speech smoothly, more so than most of his speeches. He has certainly practiced the stay-the-course storyline.
How many times have we suffered White House fanfare for a presidential speech that will finally solve the mystery of our foreign policy? How many times have we listened, only to reluctantly conclude that George W. Bush is indeed a broken record, and worse for wear?
George waved the bloody shirt at Fort Bragg, recalling 9-11 and global terrorists. He again brought forth the well-used and amazingly stupid idea that we will somehow take the war to the terrorists. And yes, he was talking about Iraq.
Those of us living in the reality-based world must be ever so tiresome to our nifty commander in chief.
In the real world, Mr. Bush, young Americans die, are maimed and morally devastated by wars in Iraq and in Afghanistan, both conducted without legal or moral justification, and hence without hope. In the real world, Americans, Iraqis and Afghans all suffer a conflict dreamed up by finely fed and well-dressed neoconservatives in air-conditioned Washington suites.
At leisurely lunches and late night planning sessions they designed a boutique war to be fought by tin soldiers. I imagine the work, and the finger food, was positively delicious.
As he has since his 9-11 raison d’tre, Bush emphasized this week that we shall prevail by taking the war to the "terrorists." This must sound great echoing off the peach and lavender rooms of the administration’s unreality-based world.
On the other hand, many great thinkers on military affairs have extensively studied the reality-based world, and thus might be helpful. Sun Tzu, for example. The ancient strategist wrote, "The spot where we intend to fight must not be made known; for then the enemy will have to prepare against a possible attack at several different points; and his forces being thus distributed in many directions, the numbers we shall have to face at any given point will be proportionately few."
Transfixed by the light of their own brilliance reflecting from pastel-sheened walls and bulletproof windows, the Bush administration hears him not.
Karl von Clausewitz wrote, "No one starts a war — or rather, no one in his senses ought to do so — without first being clear in his mind what he intends to achieve by that war and how he intends to conduct it."
Hear, hear! But it seems that the neoconservatives who long envisioned the toppling of the Ba’ath Party, and the emplacement of an administration-friendly Prime Minister in Baghdad as a Do-it-Yourself weekend project, were deafened once again by their own self-congratulatory cheers.
Clausewitz, always trying to help innocent politicians, wryly noted, "In war the will is directed at an animate object that reacts."
Sir Basil Liddell-Hart, in the mid-1900s, not so long ago, expanded upon Clausewitz in this regard. The old Brit noted, "Natural hazards, however formidable, are inherently less dangerous and less uncertain than fighting hazards. All conditions are more calculable, all obstacles more surmountable than those of human resistance."
As President, George W. Bush is a public example of a life spent failing to learn from either his betters or his mistakes, refusing to develop empathy when revenge felt better, and avoiding the hard work and self-doubt of personal accountability. He vows to stay the course and exercise his will because without that, he is left alone with his fears of inconsequentiality and too many vengeful ghosts. It’s enough to drive a man to drink, to swear, to cry and crumble.
The audience at Bragg was politically controlled and generally pro-Bush, yet the only applause-based interruption of Bush’s speech was apparently the result of a Bush aide’s signaling.
American service members and their families — now in the third year of a three-week war driven by a secret Washington establishment geostrategy and fueled by blatant repetitive lies — have seen their friends and lovers and children in wheelchairs and in coffins. They have intimately witnessed the disturbing moral fractures and personality changes that are inevitable in war — whether Congress declares one or not. Unlike George W. Bush, they are challenged by this. Unlike their confident and willful President, they pray every day for their faith to be sustained, and to be delivered from evil.
That they might need to be prompted to cheer this particular President is no surprise.
Sir Basil also noted that "No man can exactly calculate the capacity of human genius and stupidity, nor the incapacity of will."
The history of George W. Bush and his long-desired and endless war in Iraq may disprove Liddell-Hart on this count. | 2019-04-25T15:24:15 | https://www.lewrockwell.com/2005/06/karen-kwiatkowski/three-wise-men-and-an-idiot/ | [

Billy Graham impacted the world during his six-plus decades of ministry, but neither a stage nor a well-known name is vital to sharing the love of God.
This question has stirred much debate. Historically, Christians have voted for candidates of different faiths, including Mormons, based on how they live their lives and how deeply committed they are to upholding the U.S. Constitution. Remember, God ordained government, and we are not electing a pastor-in-chief, we are electing a commander-in-chief. | 2019-04-24T02:37:54 | https://billygraham.org/decision-magazine/october-2012/can-an-evangelical-christian-vote-for-a-mormon/ | [

If you have accepted Christ into your life, your past is forgiven. There is nothing left for you to do but leave it there – in the past. I want to be clear that this does not mean that you will not have to endure the consequences of your choices, but instead, mean that your past does not possess the power to rule your life. Let me give you an example of what I mean. I grew up in church, but when I got older, I decided to do my own thing. As a result, I was a single mother making $12,000 a year. I was at an all time low, and there was only one person who could help me out of the hole I created. Jesus forgave me of my sin, but I still had to be a mother. I still had to endure making huge sacrifices for my child to be okay. I had to go from thinking about what to wear out on a Friday night with my friends, to staying up all night with my sick, asthmatic baby.
My sins were forgiven, but the consequences were mine. There were days harder than others, but I had the confidence of knowing Christ was with me. Some days were extremely hard but I never truly felt alone. I had made some huge mistakes and suffered at the hands of others, but none of that determined my future. Soon I met and married a wonderful man who loved both my daughter and I. There are still times in my life where I am reminded of whom I used to be, the people I hurt out of my selfishness and the pain I endured because of someone else’s selfishness. If allowed some days have the power to pull me into a dark place.
But today, once again, I was reminded that “It is finished,” and my debt has been “paid in full.” I am healed of the abuse of others. I am left only with the scars that remind me of God’s power.
Hold your head up Grace Girl! Yes you made poor decisions, or maybe horrible things have been done to you, but no matter what, you are so much more than those mistakes or hurts forced on you without your permission. You have been given the gift of grace. If you take the time to unwrap this undeserved gift, you will discover the strength you need to move forward on your journey. You see, grace was not created so you cannot buy it; it is not a merit so you cannot earn it; and it is not conditional so you cannot lose it. It is a gift from God!
That you will find the strength to let your past go.
That your faith will increase to trust the ONE who paid your debt.
That you will bask in the magnitude of Christ’s love for you.
You receive the strength it takes to forgive and move forward.
And finally, that you will truly come to understand what it means to be Remade by Grace! | 2019-04-18T14:40:33 | http://www.fbcggracegirls.com/blog/2016/3/25/it-is-finished | [

Kyle Schwarber may be out for the season, but the home run ball he hit during the Cubs-Cardinals National League Division Series has been returned to the top of Wrigley Field's right field video board.
On Monday morning's "Mully and Hanley" show on WSCR-AM 670, Cubs president of business operations Crane Kenney said the ball is back to where it originally landed after it was taken down after the 2015 season.
Kenney said the ball was taken down in part to prevent anyone from getting the idea of climbing up the board and stealing it.
Meanwhile, the metal detectors are all in place and finishing touches were being put on the outside walls of Wrigley Field in anticipation of tonight’s home opener. Fans are being asked to arrive early since it will be the first game with the metal detectors at entrances, a security measure mandated by Major League Baseball.
After landing from Phoenix last night, the Cubs took a bus to Wrigley Field to sneak a look at their new, 30,000-square-foot clubhouse.
The brick pavers that were removed during construction have been moved to the sidewalks on Waveland and Sheffield Avenues, with each section surrounding the name of a former Cubs player or employee, ranging from Sammy Sosa to former clubhouse man Yosh Kawano.
The Cubs players arrived at Wrigley from their opening road trip before midnight on Sunday and got a tour of the new, expanded clubhouse. The Cubs denied all media requests to photograph or videotape the clubhouse because president Theo Epstein wanted his team to be the first ones to see it.
One fan was already camped out at the bleacher entrance at 7 a.m., waiting for the gates to open this afternoon. Veteran bleacher bum Ron Hayden said he arrived early to make sure he got his customary seat in left field.
A sign outside the bleachers lists prohibited items, which includes laser pointers, noise makers and unmanned aerial vehicles, or drones. Cleveland pitcher Trevor Bauer flew a drone at U.S. Cellular Field over the weekend and crashed it in front of the new video board.
Photos from Wrigley Field for the Cubs home opener on April 11, 2016.
Cubs fans in the left field bleachers celebrate the 5-3 win over the Reds in the Cubs' home opener on Monday, April 11, 2016, at Wrigley Field.

Embers Movement is a bounty mission in Tom Clancy’s The Division 2.
This bounty is unlocked after completing the Constitution Hall project.
Here’s a walkthrough of Embers Movement in The Division 2.
Your main objective is to find the bounty and the other Outcasts.
Get to the location shown in the map below, marked as the bounty symbol.
As you get there, you will see a pretty obvious entrance. Some guards will walk out of the place.
Secure the area first by killing them.
Now, get inside the compound. Go upstairs and towards the door in the image below.
Inside the room, you should find this window and climb over it.
Keep going and you’ll have to pass through a corridor filled with mannequins.
Keep going until you reach this outdoor space filled with Outcast’s hostiles.
Kill all of them until the bounty The Match shows up.
These hostiles mostly rely on fire, i.e. flamethrowers and molotov.
You have to be wary of the flames or it will kill you quickly.
After killing the boss ‘The Match’, you have to secure the area to complete the bounty.
You should get some E-Credits for completing this bounty. | 2019-04-22T05:04:02 | https://www.ordinaryreviews.com/2019/04/05/embers-movement-bounty-the-division-2/ | [

Seven-Year-Old Florida Boy Swallows Grill!
This 7-year-old boy became the latest victim of hip-hop culture – as he was rushed to the hospital after swallowing his grill! ‘Grills’ are a type of decorative dental jewelry often worn by rap artists such as OutKast, Nelly, Lil John and Ludacris. Hip-hop fan Bobby Tedesco, 7, from Sanford, Florida, was delighted when his mum brought home a £5 ($10) grill for him from a local car-boot sale. Tedesco placed the grill over his teeth and proudly showed it off in photos. Tedesco’s expression, however, soon changed when the grill fell out off his teeth and he started choking on it. His mother, Dawn Tedesco, attempted to clear his throat, but he swallowed the grill. He was raced to hospital but doctors said there was little they could do, adding there was only one way out for the metal device.
And we all know where that “one way” exit is! Someone’s gonna have a pretty painful bowel movement LMAO. My question is, what the hell was he doing with a grill? And a cheap one at that! And it was obviously too big for his mouth it fell out so easily. I’m just glad he didn’t die. Anyhow, I’ll be glad when that so-called “fad” dies… I’ve never been a fan those damn things. Not like I could get one anyhow since I’m a brace face LOL. | 2019-04-26T08:48:02 | http://gossiponthis.com/2007/07/30/seven-year-old-florida-boy-swallows-grill/ | [

Investment Scam: Or is this a 419 Scam?
Many investment scams are in fact, another type of 419 scams in disguise.
There is the carrot – $7 million USD of “investment money”. It is a sum that you will never get to see, before you lose a fortune yourself. Scammers are exploiting your greed in a scam.
And ofcourse, who would trust someone who claims that he owns millions but has to make do with a free gmail account. Using free email addresses and offering money, is definitely a scam. | 2019-04-24T12:14:18 | http://www.hotscams.com/articles/investment-scam-or-is-this-a-419-scam.html | [

A thriving, integrated and inclusive multi-cultural community in Richmond upon Thames and surrounding boroughs.
Our mission is to be the leading charity working to secure racial equality and inclusion in, and celebrate and strengthen the multi-cultural nature of, the Richmond upon Thames community and communities in surrounding boroughs.
More than 26,000 people living in Richmond come from minority ethnic groups. At EMAG we hear daily about people facing disadvantage because of their racial background. Often this arises from a lack of understanding and difficulties in communicating. There are also frequent instances of racial intolerance and racial harassment.
We therefore carry out work and activities to help improve race relations and to help ethnic monitory groups to settle into the areas where they live. Living in a new country is not easy as there are many barriers. Getting used to a new language and local customs are not easy in addition to facing discrimination. We also work with local bodies such as the Police, Richmond Council and the Citizens Advisory Bureau in an advisory and practical capacity.
We work with Ethnic Minority Communities and encourage them to set up self-help groups. We empower them to access their rights and the services available which meet the needs of a diverse community.
We support people who face racial disadvantage.
We give free advice and support to people from minority ethnic groups.
We support victims of racial harassment.
We promote equality of opportunity and good relations between people of different racial groups.
We promote and support the development of self-help groups.
We work in partnership with statutory and other organisations to eliminate unlawful discrimination.
We identify community needs and persuade service providers to meet them.
We recruit and train volunteers.
We manage a lunch club for minority ethnic elders.
Promote equality of opportunity and good relations between persons of different racial groups.
At EMAG we are committed to successful multi-racial communities and we aim to help people who experience racism and to support people who are new to life in Britain.
We work with a range of people and they include all ethnic minorities including Eastern Europeans of all ages.
Our partners play an important role in our work from funding, supporting and helping us deliver services to our users. | 2019-04-25T13:56:59 | http://www.emaguk.org/what-we-do/ | [

Rule 5 Fine Looking Country Girl!
Heartless Conservative Bothers Innocent Whales!
You wouldn't think it, but heartless conservatives really do have a place in the Green world.
Take, for example, whale watching.
Now face it, any hippie can go bobbing around on the ocean staring at a bunch of wet mammals, but if you don't have a couple of heartless conservatives on hand to run the try-works, all that oil and baleen would go to waste on the off-chance the doughty crew of the good ship Paisely actually managed to catch one.
In fact, it turns out I had an unexpected genetic predisposition to the job; one of the many things I learned about my father on his passing was that he had actually done a hitch on the whale-chasers out of Reykjavik after his tour in Greenland/Iceland with the Army.
So when Deborah Leigh decided we should go whale watching out of Dana Point, I jumped at the chance. I'd seen some whales, at a distance, a pod of greys surging out of the fog along the California kelp as they moved north, an eerie and impressing sight. Surely the voyage would have good use for my skills and inclinations.
But as we boarded the catamaran Manute'a, operated by Captain Dave's Dolphin Safari and Whale Watching out of Dana Point, CA (1-949-488-2828), I was obliged to make a quick trip back to the car when I saw the "No Flensing Irons" sign on the gangplank. I caught up with Deborah again just before sailing, and the big catamaran moved out of the harbor.
As it rode easily over the long swells we moved steadily down the coast under auxiliary power. We passed a small pod of dolphins and the captain gave us a choice: stop and play with the dolphins, or trust his hunch that he knew where he could find us blue whales busy feeding on the abundant krill. The passengers were unanimous in their cry for whales.
And the captain delivered. First one, then another, and then we were in the middle of nine blue whales at various distances, rolling smoothly to the surface to spout and breathe, then sliding back underwater. You'd watch the long roll of their backs coming up out of the ocean in a curve that went on longer than you thought possible, with the percussive hiss of their venting, and then they'd be gone again. The nearest group of three included a young juvenile just 30 or so feet long. For the most part the whales appeared to ignore us, going about their business.
Then we encountered another three-pod, and the captain got excited. He recognized two of the whales, "Spike" and "Bubbles", a pair who demonstrated a previously unknown tendency towards long-term bonding. The majority of blue whales, to hear the captain tell it, were a parcel of sluts and horndogs who put the hump in humpback, but Spike and Bubbles had been traveling together for several years now.
Then an adolescent traveling with them, some fifty feet long or so, approached Manute'a, and in a display the captain said he'd seen maybe five times in twelve years proceeded to circle and dive under the boat over and over again.
That was when we learned why they're called "blue" whales. Something about their skin and the sunlight filtering through the seawater causes them to glow a beautiful cool neon blue, so this huge spectral shape was just flying under us over and over again, surfacing to spout and breathe, and then diving and coming back in. Deborah thought it was simply being entertained by the sound of the passengers stampeding back and forth across the deck above it as it circled. Once it surfaced so close to Manute'a that the mist from its spout drifted over us. I could wax eloquent about the irridescence of the sunlight on the scattering water vapor but, being the heartless conservative that I am, what I did instead was shout, "WHALE SNOT!" and wig out all the little kids on board.
Finally, the adolescent decided to move on with his companions, and gave us a perfect Hollywood parting dive. It was a remarkable experience and I almost completely forgot to regret the loss of the chance to run the try-works. It's a trip worth taking if you can. | 2019-04-23T20:44:10 | http://threebeerslater.blogspot.com/2012_08_19_archive.html | [

One of the most popular series of posts, along with the Empaths & Sensitive Series, are my posts on the Black Madonna, Sophia, and the Mysteries of the deep, re-emerging Feminine.
Many of the posts at Sophia’s Children arise out of my Persephone-and-Inanna-like initiation journeys — the Via Feminina — and remembering and re-embodying the Sacred Feminine, and all that that entails and creates.
But there is also a collection of posts where I’ve written specifically about the Black Madonna, Sophia, Lilith, Magdalene, and others.
So here’s a new index to many (if not all) of these posts on my experience (so far) in being called into deep remembering and re-embodying of the deep Feminine Mysteries, Sophia, and the Black Madonna.
You’ll find a couple of short excerpts from Black Madonna & Great She posts, and then you’ll see a whole list of posts if you’re really looking to stir your remembrance!
Mentor-Coaching and Wise Guides Apprentices also receive select audio programs from my Feminine Mojo Mystery School archive.
If you have questions or would benefit in your own journey of awakening to have a ‘been there’ journey guide and mentor, just let me know (send along an email to info ‘at’ sophias-children ‘dot’ com).

Funny that I was looking around the web into ‘deep estorics’, and I came across a photo I loved. when I clicked on it, it sent me to your blog.
Of all the blogs in all the world, yours happens to speak to me!! as it always does.
I love your organization! You’ve inspired me to organize my postings better!
Oh yes, yes, yes and it’s taken many situations to keep throwing me off so I catch onto the lesson 😉 I HAVE to make this a daily ritual. If not.. I cannot function and I’m very confused. Affected. Sick. All sorts of stuff!
I’m glad you’re enjoying Sophia’s Children, Trina. It seems a ‘sync’ for sure (having read some of your posts as well!). Your posts did come through, by the way (I’ll email that to you as well, just so you know).
You’re right about the daily rituals, lest we get really thrown off by the unhelpful energy. Those symptoms … ill-feeling, confused (foggy, spacey), etc. are often also symptoms of energy or psychic attach (witting or unwitting) and just not-so-good energy. And we’re empath-sensitives ‘in the world’ as they say, so it’s good to have the roster of practices to help with that.
Re your ‘education’ in dealing with Narcissists, you’ll see a couple of good posts here (in the Empath Series List), including one called “5 ways a narcissist gets in your head” (shared from a sister blog) … you’ll recognize the ‘tactics’. And it really is an education. I found it the same way.
But I realized that there was also something ‘too familiar’ about it, and I realized I’d grown up with it and it had just become ‘normal’ … until I realized while it may have been ‘normal’ it wasn’t healthy. And off we go to uncondition and shift into healthier, more self-respecting relating.
Thanks again for adding your voice and story to the conversation here!
Hello Jamie 💓 Yes, when I feel spacey lately I say, “I release all of which isn’t mine and return it to the source of its origin. I return it to the divine light of all that is. So it is, so it is, so it is.” Also, I envision my feet on grass or earthy ground, and I saw “I am coming fully into my body. I am fully present.” Sometimes I’m not fully anchored in my body. I tend to travel alot in my sleep!
Yes I did see the articles on narcissists by the lady 🙂 and all the behaviors is correct, I noticed them with my ex years ago and with the one in Philly. I had NO idea this was narcissism. I just quickly realized there was emotional abuse going on with the Philly guy. And alot of protection. And denial. I always thought narcissism meant vanity, like she said. So it was interesting to educate myself! And yes! Codependents tend to be empaths, or empaths tend to be Codependents and we learn it from childhood – wanting to please everyone and make everything better. It’s part of our nature to want to help everyone. But it stems from a parent who is narcissistic and/or the other parent being the codependent. Yes, my parents played the dance. Thank you for sharing your story with me too 💜 Are you on Facebook or Google+? Any other way to share info and inspirations? You can find me if you’d like – Trina Otero on Facebook, Google+.. Cheers!

The Movement for Democratic Change today called on Finance Minister Mthuli Ncube to resign for implementing a tax regime which it said was totalitarian, draconian and fascist.
Ncube announced a two cents per dollar transaction tax on 1 October but it was only gazetted yesterday and came into effect today.
The tax, which is aimed at largely roping in the informal sector, is for transactions of $10 and above but there is a cap of $10 000 for transaction of above $500 000.
The tax was strongly opposed by the nation but President Emmerson Mnangagwa stood behind his Finance Minister.
Prices rocketed, fuel ran out and the exchange rate ran amok.
Exchange rates, however, started falling when Afreximbank guaranteed the exchange rate of the bond note at par with the United States dollar and the Confederation of Zimbabwe Industries changed its mind to welcome the tax yesterday and exchange.
The MDC, however, said the statutory instrument that Ncube used to regularise the tax was unconstitutional in two ways.
“Firstly Parliament’s primary law making power cannot be delegated and secondly a statutory instrument cannot repeal an act of parliament neither can it be in opposition of an enabling act,” the MDC said.
“Fundamentally, the creation of a robber state which pick pockets the poor is an evil of the highest order.
“Forcing the suffering masses living in abject poverty to fund lives of the political elites who are the sole reason of economic decay is unbelievable.
That Mthuli resigns forthwith for causing economic chaos.
The new taxes must be reversed unconditionally.
Supply side solutions be employed – that is the sane way to expand fiscal leg room.
National dialogue be initiated in line with President Chamisa’s 5 point plan.
An Emergency Economic Recovery program must be adopted and stop the unpalatable suffering of the Zimbabwean people.
Let the sleeping dogs (MDC) lie!!! | 2019-04-18T22:56:23 | http://www.insiderzim.com/mdc-calls-on-mthuli-ncube-to-resign-immediately/ | [

15-Year-Old Gunman Charged With First Degree Attempted Murder In Maryland First Day Of School Shooting!
15-year-old Bobby Gladden brought a bottle of vodka with him on his first day of school this year. He also brought a disassembled shotgun and 21 rounds of ammo.
If you haven’t heard already, Gladden is the teen being held responsible for the school shooting near Baltimore Monday that left a classmate fighting for his life.
Police have charged Robert Wayne Gladden Jr., 15, with attempted first-degree murder and assault in connection with Monday’s shooting at Perry Hall High School in Baltimore County.
Gladden has been charged as an adult, police said. He is being held without bail at the Baltimore County Detention Center. Police will hold a news conference Tuesday morning to discuss the case.
Daniel Borowy was shot in his back shortly before 11 a.m. in the school’s cafeteria, court documents said. Eyewitnesses described hearing a sound like a bag of chips popping before realizing that someone was shooting.
Bowery, 17, remains in critical condition.
With heightened security and trauma counselors on hand, Perry Hall restarted its school year Tuesday, the day after a student shot in the cafeteria was left in critical condition and another student was taken into custody as the suspected gunman.
The shooting took place on the first day of classes Monday as several hundred students were in the cafeteria, where the sound of gunfire initially seemed like just another piece of the aural landscape.
Instead, it was gunfire, striking Bowery, who was airlifted to Maryland Shock Trauma Center as classmates and strangers offered prayers for him at impromptu gatherings and across social media. Police said they do not believe the victim was targeted by the shooter.
Witnesses said a school counselor quickly grabbed the shooter and pinned him up against a vending machine. The suspect was taken into custody shortly after the shooting.
Students described a day that suddenly turned chaotic during an early lunch break in the cafeteria of the school, the county’s largest with nearly 2,200 students. Rather than the festive atmosphere of a school community returning after summer break, police helicopters whirred overhead, students dove under cafeteria tables and, as the news spread quickly, distraught parents tried to reach their children, in person or by phone or text message.
Throughout the day, a sense of disbelief pervaded.
Jeremy Knavel, 16, said he couldn’t believe his eyes when he saw a student emerge from a bathroom Monday morning, taking a gun out from under his shirt.
Sophomore Nick DiPaula, 15, said he and a friend were talking in the cafeteria when they heard a loud bang and turned to see what it was.
“We just see him with the gun, and he’s aiming it at my table,” DiPaula said.
A school counselor he identified as Jesse Wasmer ran over and tackled the gunman as he and other students hit the floor and another teacher started yelling, “Get out of the building, get out of the building!” DiPaula said.
Wasmer was hailed as a hero by colleagues and across the Internet, where a “Thanks Mr. Wasmer” Facebook page was created. He could not be reached to comment, and school officials declined to discuss details of the incident.
The actions of Wasmer and other teachers in the cafeteria who intervened “were really beyond what anyone can be expected to do,” and “made that situation the best it could have been in such a horrible time,” said Matt Smoot, a science teacher in his fifth year at the school.
Dance said Perry Hall High would be open Tuesday with additional security at the school. The Police Department’s Critical Incident Stress Debriefing team will provide support for students and faculty, Armacost said.
Junior Ryan Brady, 15, said he was several feet away from the shooting victim and saw blood on his shirt. As the counselor was tackling the shooter, his gun went off again, the bullet hitting the ceiling, said Brady, who got under a table to hide.
Police officers were already at the school, standard procedure for the first day of classes. County Executive Kevin Kamenetz said police and school officials responded in “terrific fashion” to the shooting.
Students were escorted to the nearby Perry Hall Shopping Center at the corner of Ebenezer and Belair roads, where parents were instructed to meet them, police said. Hundreds of visibly shaken parents and others gathered at the shopping center as police helicopters hovered overhead.
Thank God that guidance counselor moved so quickly!
* He goes by the nickname SuicidalSmile on Facebook.
* Many of his profile pictures show Gladden taking photos of himself while his long hair covers his face. Gladden also claims to like musicians Marilyn Manson and Slipknot and references notorious mass murderer Charles Manson.
* Gladden’s Facebook page first caused concern yesterday when parents of students at the school noticed Gladden’s last status update read “First day of school, last day of my life. t(~_~t), fu*k the world.” .
* Gladden’s classmates confirmed Tuesday to The Associated Press that the page belonged to the suspected gunman.
* Police told The Associated Press that Gladden came to school armed with a disassembled shotgun and 21 rounds of ammunition. He also reportedly had a bottle of vodka.
* Gladden’s father confirmed his son had been bullied prior to the shooting. However, police have not officially released a motive.
* However, a student identified by the name -dazzleme- said Gladden “isn’t a psycho, or a monster or anything that you may think he is,” adding Gladden didn’t mean to shoot Borowy. “I know Bobby and he isn’t the type of kid to just go and randomly shoot people. He’s the kid that makes you laugh. He was bullied often and I believe that he just could not take it anymore,” -dazzleme- wrote on the Tumblr feed.
Sad, the kid sounds deeply troubled. Our prayers are with Daniel Borowy and his family. We pray he will fully recover. | 2019-04-23T00:10:26 | https://bossip.com/635527/15-year-old-gunman-charged-with-first-degree-attempted-murder-in-maryland-first-day-of-school-shooting/ | [

Only former Israeli President Shimon Peres could pull off something like organizing a friendly football (soccer) match between Israeli and Palestinian children just a week after the latest Gaza war.
And only the Palestinian Authority could be so callous as to condemn such a demonstration of peaceful coexistence.
The game organized by Peres wasn’t between just any groups of Israeli and Palestinian kids. The Israelis came from the rocket-battered town of Sderot, and the Palestinians from Hebron, near to where earlier this summer Hamas terrorists abducted and executed three Jewish teens.
The game marked the start of the current year of the “School of Football and Peace,” a campaign by the Peres Center for Peace that brings together dozens of Israeli and Palestinian children for sports and other extracurricular learning activities.
Israel’s “peace partners” in the Palestinian Authority, however, didn’t seem to feel the same.
“Any activity of normalization in sports with the Zionist enemy is a crime against humanity,” insisted Jibril Rajoub, a senior member of the ruling Fatah faction and head of the Palestinian Supreme Council for Sports and Youth Affairs.
In a post to his Facebook page (which was translated by Palestinian Media Watch), Rajoub said it was official policy to oppose and prevent joint sporting events between Israeli and Palestinian children.
A local Fatah spokesman vowed that the party would “settle the account with these reckless people,” meaning the coach and other organizers who had dared to let Palestinian children commit the heinous crime of playing soccer with Israeli Jews. | 2019-04-18T10:58:53 | http://www.israeltoday.co.il/NewsItem/tabid/178/nid/24918/Default.aspx?article=related_stories | [

A Louisiana Taxotere hair loss lawsuit may be an option for chemotherapy patients who took Taxotere and suffered permanent hair loss. Taxotere, a chemotherapy drug used to treat breast, prostate, non-small cell lung cancer, stomach, and head and neck cancers, has been linked to permanent, disfiguring hair loss. Affected patients and their families may be eligible to file a Louisiana Taxotere lawsuit and seek compensation for damages.
Taxotere is a kind of chemotherapy treatment most commonly used to treat breast cancer, head and neck cancer, stomach cancer, prostate cancer, and lung cancer. The medication may be used on its own or together with other chemotherapeutic drugs to treat specific types and stages of cancer. Taxotere belongs to a class of drugs known as taxanes, chemical compounds originally extracted from the needles of the Pacific yew tree.
Taxotere stops cancer cells from dividing and multiplying, blocking the growth of certain kinds of cancers. Since chemotherapy treatments target all rapidly-forming cells, patients will experience a loss of healthy cells as well as cancerous ones.
In 2015, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued updated safety information noting that cases of permanent hair loss related to the use of Taxotere have been reported.
Loss of hair due to chemotherapy is typically reversible with complete hair regrowth, however, there is increased evidence that certain chemotherapy regimens can cause dose-dependent permanent alopecia (hair loss), according to a study conducted by researchers at the University of Miami, Florida. In addition to the Department of Dermatology and Cutaneous Surgery’s findings, research presented at the National Cancer Research Institute Conference noted significant hair loss reported by patients who responded to a questionnaire regarding Taxotere and its connection with patient hair loss.
Many patients, particularly women treated for breast cancer, who have allegedly experienced the effects of permanent hair loss after being treated for cancer with Taxotere may find it difficult to cope with their condition.
Taxotere hair loss lawsuits filed in early 2016 allege that drug maker Sanofi S.A. made claims of Taxotere’s superior efficacy, when post market surveillance has shown that Taxotere does not offer increased efficacy or benefits over other similar medications. The lawsuit further alleges that as a result of the drug maker’s claims, thousands of individuals were exposed to more severe side effects, including permanent alopecia (hair loss).
A warning letter sent by the FDA to drug maker Sanofi-Aventis in 2009 requested that the drug maker immediately stop the dissemination of misleading assertions suggesting the efficacy of Taxotere compared to other cancer drugs in its class.
Likewise, lawsuits allege that although the drug maker published information in other countries to patients and regulatory agencies related to the possible connection between Taxotere and permanent hair loss, those warnings do not appear on any information published by the drug maker in the United States. As a result, the lawsuit claims that thousands of individuals were unable to make an informed decision as to whether the benefits of Taxotere over other treatment options was justified.
Although chemotherapy treatment schedules are relatively short, long-term issues may arise, according to the Cancer Network. For some younger breast cancer patients, fertility issues may occur after certain chemotherapy treatments. Additionally, taxane-based chemotherapy treatments such as Taxotere may lead to neuropathy, potentially leading to poor balance and other complications.
Patients who have suffered severe side effects, including permanent hair loss, after taking Taxotere, as well as the families of those who have died as a result of complications with the drug, are encouraged to seek the advice of a Louisiana Taxotere hair loss lawsuit attorney to learn more about their rights and remedies. | 2019-04-25T22:21:17 | https://attorneygroup.com/louisiana/lawsuits/bad-drugs/louisiana-taxotere-hair-loss-lawsuit/ | [
