Some thoughts on Spurs’ 3-0 defeat to Man City:
“We’ve had a tough week of training hard, but the quality has to be better and we all know that. That’s why you play in pre-season. We don’t think ‘it’s pre-season, we don’t care’ – we do care. We now have two weeks to improve ourselves, to get to the level we were at last season and become even better. You don’t want to lose, of course, but we will learn and improve.” (Toby Alderweireld)
Last night saw Spurs play the final game of their US tour to fellow English club Manchester City, it was not the way Pochettino’s side would have wanted to end their tour, with the lilywhites being thrashed 3-1 by Pep Guardiola’s team. In a game which was dominated by the sky blues from the start, Spurs struggled to establish their authority on the game despite the fact that Pochettino had fielded such a strong starting 11. We came up against a city side who looked as if they were entering the middle of their season, they were sharp, intense and pacy and that was what really caught us out last night. Man City should have won by a greater goal margin, with John Stones, Raheem Sterling and Brahim Diaz getting their goals. Despite Spurs almost taking the lead through Dele Alli on two minutes, it was one traffic for the remainder of the game. City taking the lead through centre half John Stones inside 10 minutes, before going on to squander a whole host of chances. They exposed the lack of pace in our side, with former Spurs man Kyle Walker causing a lot of problems for Davies down the right. Guardiola’s side were fast and fluid, they passed the ball around so well and so quickly that we seemed to struggle to stop the fast attacking play of Gabriel Jesus and Raheem Sterling.
Man City’s other two goals were as the result of perfectly timed attacking runs which caught us out throughout the game. There were positives in the game, the performances of Vincent Janssen, Kyle Walker-Peters and Tashan Oakley-Boothe all good. Spurs were poor last night, but it really doesn’t worry me in the slightest, to their credit Man City were superb whilst we seemed tired/lethargic. I think the friendly against Juventus next Saturday will be a far more telling and important game as we look to adapt to playing at Wembley ahead of the new season. In youth related news, it was a memorable weekend for Wayne Burnett’s side who won the European under 21 tournament in France. Burnett’s side beat teams such a as PSG and FC Lorient en route to the final where they met Belgian side Standard Liege, with the game ending 2-2 courtesy of goals from Shayon Harrison and Shilow Tracey. Spurs won the game 5-4 on penalties with goalkeeper Jonathan De Bie making the winning save. It was a brilliant achievement from the talented squad, Spurs’ winger turned wingback Keanan Bennetts also won the player of the tournament for his performances. There was a poignant and touching tribute to Ugo Ehiogu by head coach Wayne Burnett after the game: “Justin Cochrane (Under-23 Assistant Coach) and I have been with them for the last month or so, but they’ve had a really excellent development programme before we got here, so a special mention should go to those two because they’ve been a big part of these players’ development, for sure. Everyone was mindful of that, we had a minute’s silence in memory of Ugo before the game and I think it’s fitting – the players will have been thinking of him, so it’s a nice moment to lift the trophy.”
Finally I noticed that former Spurs academy goalkeeper Tom McDermott (19) has found a new club following his departure in the summer. The goalkeeper who we signed from Warrenpoint in 2014, has joined League of Ireland club Derry City. McDermott is the second Spurs player to join Derry in recent seasons along with Aaron Mceneff who joined in 2015. COYS


Uses of the Heviwate Drill Pipe
Heviwate is a drill pipe that is one of the industry standards for the drill stem member of the intermediate weight. Hevi drill is available in the standard, spiral and non magnetic designs and is hence useful in a variety of applications. Wate is a drill that consists of drill pipe dimensions that make it easier to handle. This is a drill pipe that uses an excellent wear pad or center upset for contributing to the longevity of the tube, reducing the hole-drag and dealing with sticking problems.
Heviwate drill pipes have long tool joints for cutting the connections and increase the longevity of service. Hevi center upset protects the tube by keeping it away from the hole-drag and minimizing sticking. Wate drills have cold rolling for better connection and efficiency.

Cutcliffe tabbed Ben Loebner and John Russell as graduate assistant coaches on the offensive and defensive sides of the ball, respectfully. Loebner, a 2009 Duke graduate, has spent the last two seasons on the Blue Devil staff as a recruiting assistant while Russell joins the program after lettering four seasons as a defensive lineman at Wake Forest where he helped the Demon Deacons to a ledger of 33-19 along with the 2006 ACC Championship.
Kerry Johnson, who lettered as both a defensive back and wide receiver under Cutcliffe at Ole Miss, shifts from his role as an assistant on the strength and conditioning staff to an operations assistant position with the Duke offensive coaches. Leon Wright, an All-ACC cornerback during his playing days at Duke, serves as the defensive operations assistant.
Marcus Johnson, a former All-SEC offensive lineman at Ole Miss who spent five seasons in the NFL, replaces Kerry Johnson as an assistant in the strength and conditioning department.
Ethan Johnson, a staff member since 2006, becomes Duke's assistant director of football relations, replacing the departed Terrell Smith. Jomar Wright, who spent last year as a graduate assistant coach, moves into the role of recruiting assistant while former Blue Devil All-American defensive lineman Vince Oghobaase has been added as a staff assistant.
In the equipment room, Tommy Phillips has been promoted to assistant football equipment manager, replacing Todd McMinn, who left the program to become the director of football equipment operations at the University of Cincinnati. Ben Sherrill replaces Phillips as an equipment assistant.

The XM25 is the deadliest hand weapon in the army arsenal. Why? Because it can fire 25mm rounds that explode at any distance set by the soldier, killing people protected behind walls or trenches. Here it is in action.

Flux Core Welding is similar to that of MIG, as both processes use similar machines and wire feeds; they are both considered semi-automatic procedures, and produce a great rate. The difference between these two processes is the shielding of the electrode from the air; flux cored, has a flux wire in the middle which shields the electrode. Because the flux cored shields the electrode, we are able to weld outside, as you may recall, you are unable to weld outside if you’re using the MIG. A flux core machine can produce up to 25 pounds of weld per hour! The boating industry will see a lot of flux core welding because flux is able to weld ½” plates in a single pass through, and ships are made of very thick and heavy plates.
For more information about our Flux Core welding services please feel free to give Mike’s Welding a call at 781-286-7221.

Raised beds with Renew Café
We were excited to be able put the fantastic new raised beds into the community garden this afternoon- despite the rain and thunder!
We had a topsoil delivery too, so all of that had to be shifted off the roadside and into the beds.
A very soggy allotment dog was not happy with his shelter! But we did a great tidy up of the whole garden, and put some broad bean seeds in one of the beds. A great start!

GHGT-10: Assessing the integrity of fault- and top seals at CO2 storage sites
ter Heege, J.H.
Orlic, B. (editor)
ter Heege, J.H. (editor)
Induced stress changes due to CO2 injection into geological reservoirs can mechanically damage bounding fault- and top seals creating preferential pathways for CO2 migration from the containment or trigger existing faults causing seismic activity at storage sites. In this paper we present geomechanical simulations of the poro-mechanical effects, thermal and chemical effects of CO2 injection on the integrity of fault- and top seals. Simulation work was performed as part of recent feasibility studies for geological CO2 storage in a depleted gas field and a saline aquifer in the Netherlands. Poro-mechanical and thermal effects were investigated using site-specific finite element and finite difference models as well as (semi-)analytical methods. Long term chemical effects were investigated using generic discrete element models of a representative anhydrite caprock sample. The analysis show that (1) geomechanical numerical models can be used to define clear criteria for maximum admissible pressure build-up during CO2 injection to prevent caprock fracturing, shearing of pre-existing fractures and fault reactivation, (2) combined poro-elastic and thermal effects of CO2 injection may induce fracturing in the near-well area, (3) long term chemical reactions of anhydrite caprock with CO2-rich fluids may cause significant reduction in failure strength at timescales of ~50000 years.

Methadone Clinics In My Area – Two friends go to a clinic in Hernando County to get a dose of methadone. They embark on this journey seven days a week to avoid a recurrence of the pill addiction that nearly destroyed their lives.
But it’s not an easy drive from their home in Citrus County, about 90 minutes north of Tampa. Health News Florida is not using Amy or Christy’s last name to protect their identities.
Methadone Clinics In My Area
“She drives from her house … all the way to my house … and we drive all the way here and back,” said Amy, 36, a mother of two grown children.
When Addiction Treatment Means Decades On Methadone
The women lived in one of Florida’s 41 counties that did not have a methadone treatment center. Although only 26 of Florida’s 67 counties have clinics, the Department of Children and Families has issued only two licenses for methadone clinics since 2014.
Floridians are dealing with an opioid crisis, which in 2016 nearly 2,800 Floridians have died, thousands of addicts do not have easy access to the gold standard of opioid addiction treatment.
“There’s no excuse,” said Joycelyn Woods, director of the Methadone Assisted Recovery National Alliance, one of the few patient advocacy groups.
Woods says most states have responded to the epidemic by facilitating more methadone programs. Nationally, opioid overdose deaths have been increasing annually for more than a decade, in 2017 alone. 50,000 people died.
Protect Our Kids’ Is Rallying Cry Saturday Against Lynnwood Methadone Clinic
“The state had to put in easements years before people could get licenses,” Woods said. “That’s exactly what they should have done.”
The most recent was in 2017, when the Department of Children and Families issued an emergency order to open 49 new methadone clinics — many in counties where none existed.
But under the state’s first-come, first-served licensing system, three companies were granted the right to open 47 of the 49 new clinics. The missing treatment providers argued the process was unfair, and the judge agreed.
Amy says the distance becomes an excuse not to get help for her friends who are still using.
Neighbours Oppose Potential Chinatown Methadone Clinic
“I can’t afford it. I can’t get there. There’s always a reason,” Amy said. “But they don’t realize there’s help.”
Not everyone agrees that methadone is the best opioid treatment. Critics say it replaces one opioid with another. However, statistics show that when a methadone clinic opens, overdose deaths go down, along with drug-related crimes.
The opioid overdose death rate in Citrus County is 32 percent higher than the state average, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. That was 35 percent more than in southern Hernando County, where the methadone clinic is located.
“I think I lost 8 to 10 people to drug addiction last year alone,” Amy said. “It’s bad. When you live in a small town, it hits home because you know these people, you went to school with these people, you hung out with these people, and they didn’t find a better way.”
The Cost Of Addiction Treatment Keeps Poor People Addicted
Last month, the Department of Children and Families again issued an emergency order to increase the number of methadone clinics in the state. The order suspended the requirement that the state first decide how many new clinics it wants. DCF officials did not say how many licenses would be issued or where the new clinics would go. She declined to be interviewed for this story.
John Esenberg works with Operation PAR, a counseling and treatment center serving drug addicts throughout the Tampa Bay area. Before the order was issued, he said his company was ready to open clinics in counties where needed.
“Citrus County, Hendry County, Charlotte County for sure,” Essenberg said. “We already have a satellite program in Charlotte.”
But even if permission is granted tomorrow, it will take two years for the new clinic to open, he said.
Are Simcoe’s Methadone Clinics A Poison Pill?
Or like Amy and Christy, the long journey. But having methadone is worth it, the women say
“When you start to heal and your life starts to get better, when you start to pick up everything that you’ll never get back, you have a light at the end of the tunnel,” Amy said. “You start moving forward and you know what? Maybe it’s possible. Maybe I’ll get my family back. Maybe I’ll get my kids back. You have some hope. “

Methadone Program Near Cincinnati, Ohio
At the treatment center, Elias downs methadone, a red liquid. In the US, it can only be dispensed under federally regulated opioid programs.
To escape the grip of addiction, Loretta Elias struggles to get to a small clinic in Boyle Heights every day, where a carefully measured cup of red liquid awaits her.
Methadone helped the 42-year-old avoid the malaise and cravings that come with trying to get off opioids. Elias admits to helping her stop using fentanyl, a powerful synthetic drug that has killed homeless people in Los Angeles.
Carrollton Township Methadone Clinic Combats Saginaw’s ‘high’ Population Of Heroin And Prescription Pill Abusers
But for Elias, who lives just off Skid Row in the Cecil Hotel, the Boyle Heights clinic is not an easy journey. She uses a walker and because of the hip repair it is painful for her to take the bus. So she relies on Soma, a nonprofit artist and activist who carries snake oil in her Jeep every day.
“The hardest part is getting there,” Elias said. “Soma – she has a lot to do, she wants to help a lot of people. But she is only one person.
Skid Row has long been a downtown area where Los Angeles has cut off services for its poorest. According to federal and local guidelines, when people like Elias are trying to break their opioid addiction, the closest options for daily doses of methadone can be miles away in Boyle Heights, Westlake and South Park. Veterans Affairs also has a clinic downtown that offers methadone treatment, but it only treats veterans who are eligible for care.
“It’s a real challenge for my patients,” said Dr. Emily Thomas said. What health officials have learned, she said, is that you really have to provide health services to homeless people who have been homeless before.
Methadone Clinics In Colorado Have Doubled In 3 Years
“This disparity is particularly troubling in an area that is our epicenter of overdoses in Los Angeles County,” Thomas said.
It’s true that Soma Snake Loretta Elias is taken to a methadone treatment program every day to help her stay off fentanyl.
Medications like methadone, which reduce addiction and withdrawal pain, are a critical way to help people overcome opioid addiction, a task that has become increasingly urgent as drug overdose deaths rise. More than 107,000 people are estimated to have died of drug overdoses in the United States last year, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Wednesday, based on preliminary data.
In 2020 According to the National Survey on Drug Use and Health, less than 12% of adolescents and adults with an opioid use disorder reported receiving medication to help stop opioid abuse in the past year.
Lepage Takes Aim At Methadone Clinics
Overdose deaths are on the rise in California, and doctors say addiction medicine has a lot of potential. Why aren’t more patients receiving this?
That’s “key to solving the opioid epidemic,” said Jason Kletter, president of the California Opioid Care Providers Group, which represents treatment providers statewide. “We know it works. We know that combining medication with counseling is truly the gold standard.
Methadone isn’t the only drug available to people trying to quit opioids: In Los Angeles, Thomas and others at Housing for Health sought easier access to Suboxone, which includes the prescription drug buprenorphine and is not as heavily restricted as methadone. The Department of Health Services fills monthly prescriptions for people living on the streets, an easier option for many Angelenos than coming to a clinic for methadone every day.
However, buprenorphine is not the best choice for everyone. For some fentanyl users, this can lead to a painful withdrawal experience. Elias said he tried Suboxone but experienced pain when providers had trouble measuring the right dose.

Pro Football Focus writer Ben Linsley ranks Mack his fourth-best interior offensive lineman entering the 2020 season. Mack has one year remaining on his current contract with the Falcons, so it’s unclear what the future holds for him in Atlanta, but he’s been incredibly solid since joining the organization since 2016 and figures to be once again this fall.
“It’s always interesting to hear who some of the best players in the NFL point out as their toughest individual matchups, and run-stuffing extraordinaire Damon ‘Snacks’ Harrison singled out Mack as one of his toughest matchups on PFF’s 2 for 1 Drafts podcast this offseason.
‘To me, Alex Mack was the best offensive lineman I ever played against,’ Harrison said when prompted on who some of his toughest NFL assignments were.

Kraft Pumpkin Spice Macaroni & Cheese Is Real—Here's How to Score a Box
All macaroni and cheese is great in my book. Any kind of cheese. Any shape of pasta. Stovetop or oven-baked. Give me all of it! And yet, when asked to conjure macaroni and cheese in my mind, the first image is of slim tiny tubes with a bright orange hue: that supermarket staple, Kraft Macaroni & Cheese. With brand recognition like that, you'd think Kraft could just sit back and let the sales roll in, but recently, the marketing team behind the blue-boxed meal has been working overtime. Last month, Kraft grabbed headlines by cheekily rebranding their classic "dinner" as Kraft Mac & Cheese Breakfast. Now, another cheesy publicity stunt: Kraft is going seasonal and releasing the limited-edition Kraft Pumpkin Spice Macaroni & Cheese.
The concept kicked off earlier this week in Canada where "Kraft Dinner"—as the pasta dish is called up north—is even more of a cultural phenomenon. Kraft says that when they announced the release of Kraft Pumpkin Spice Macaroni & Cheese there, over 30,000 Canadians signed up for an online waitlist in the first 48 hours. Today, it's Americans' turn.
"Do you want to win a box of limited edition Pumpkin Spice Kraft Mac & Cheese?" the brand posted on its official Twitter page this morning. "Of course you do! Tag us in a tweet with #PumpkinSpiceKMC + #Sweepstakes for a chance to win."
From now until September 29, simply toss those hashtags in a tweet to @KraftMacNCheese and your account will be entered. Entries are limited to one per account, so no need to tweet over and over. Also, per the official rules, keep your tweet otherwise clean or you could be disqualified. Then, around September 30, 1,000 lucky winners will be randomly selected and notified on Twitter. That's it.
Of course, we've gotten a bit ahead of ourselves, glossing over the question of what exactly is Kraft Pumpkin Spice Macaroni & Cheese? Per the brand's description, it's "the same cheesy Mac & Cheese Americans know and love, now with added fall flavors: hints of cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice and ginger." Whether that's something you'd actually want to eat is another question entirely. But hey, if it's good enough for Canada, it's gotta be good enough for the ol' U.S. of A., too, right?
"After seeing the huge response Pumpkin Spice Mac & Cheese received north of the border, and even hearing some heated debates about it down here, we had to bring it to the U.S. for Americans to try," Martina Davis, brand manager for Kraft Macaroni and Cheese, said in the announcement. "Who knows? Maybe it could become a new North American fall favorite."
Skeptical? You're not alone. Yesterday, Kraft Macaroni & Cheese posted a Twitter poll asking who would give this limited-edition product a try. With over 15,000 votes counted, "Hm, I'd give it a shot" has captured over half the votes, beating out the more enthusiastic answers "Yaaaaasss!" and "Pumpkin Spice Everything" combined. Apparently even fans dedicated enough to follow the brand on Twitter have their doubts. But hey, as I said up top, all mac and cheese is good in my book. Pretty much.

If the EPA isn’t screwing up with mine clean ups and harassing property owners for artificial lakes, The US Forest Service screws Montana residents during fire season. The Missoulian reports that the Western US is in the midst of an equipment shortage and the Environmental Pollution Agency has seen it fit to ground five helicopters that could be used to fight fires on federal and private lands with forests. If he were real, I am sure Smokey the Bear would be embarrassed if not outright quit.
Apparently, the helicopters in question do not have the right size buckets as required by law. 324-gallon containers used to scoop and drop water from Vietnam-era Bell UH-1 Hueys were supposed to be reworked and customized as MT-205s. A US Forest Service representative states this was a policy change his agency notified Montana about during 2014 in which the helicopter tanks in question were supposed to carry 100 gallons of less water.
A Montana state forest representative named Bob Harrington responded stating the adjustments made to the helicopters have expanded their power to permit them to securely convey the larger containers. Changing to smaller buckets, he said would diminish the adequacy of the helicopters and add vulnerability to the employments of the pilots and aircraft managers. Harrington further accused the Forest Service as treating Montana as a subsidiary and not an equal partner. The bureau is trying to shoulder Montana with responsibilities alien to its ability to operate an efficient wild fire suppression program.
Recently, wildfires spread rapidly as helicopter pilots could do nothing except wait for approved aircraft to assist with fire suppression efforts. There have been other times when state aircraft were even told not to take action. In an angry letter fired off from Montana Governor Steve Bullock to US Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack, the Governor stating:
At a time where a cohesive response to wildland fire is more critical than ever, I continue to be frustrated by this unwarranted and artificial limitation on interagency use of our aircraft.
The first priority during a life threatening incident should be to prevent and halt threats to life. The US Forest Service recklessly imposed a requirement (most likely geared toward saving water) that Montana helicopter tanks be replaced with ones that carry less water and prevents the ones not fitted with new tanks from helping fight wildfires. As a result it could lead to massive property damage and loss of life but the bureaucrats will not relent and let the grounded helicopters operate. This whole incident makes a joke out of the notion that the US Forest Service exists to help protect and preserve forests held by the US government and its broader job of protecting life and property.

Government research contracts routinely contain suppression clauses. Have universities forgotten their role in promoting open enquiry?
In a 2006 survey of a random sample of public health academics in Australia (46% response fraction), 21% of the 302 respondents reported having personally experienced a funding-related suppression event in the preceding 5½ years; ie, a funder had invoked a clause in the funding contract “sanitising, delaying or prohibiting” the publication of research findings.1The study also showed that the incidence of sanitisation events had increased over time. According to the respondents, their work was targeted because it “… drew attention to failings in health services (48%), the health status of a vulnerable group (26%), or pointed to a harm in the environment (11%)”.1

MOSCOW — Preventing broke out on Thursday between Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan over management of an irrigation canal and an entry highway to an ethnic enclave, elevating the specter of instability in Central Asia as the US prepares to withdraw from Afghanistan.
The conflict escalated past the standard border skirmishes that escape frequently within the distant, mountainous area of southwestern Kyrgyzstan and are a legacy of the Soviet breakup. The international locations dispute water rights and territory.
Border guards and different safety forces exchanged small-arms fireplace, videos posted on-line confirmed, and mortars and artillery have been fired from the Tajik aspect, in keeping with Kyrgyz officers. The Kyrgyz authorities additionally reported that helicopters attacked a number of positions. Footage from the world confirmed a Kyrgyz border patrol submit on fireplace.
No less than three individuals died, together with a soldier and a civilian little one, in keeping with the Kyrgyz authorities. The Tajik authorities stated three civilians had died, Reuters reported. By the top of the day, Kyrgyz authorities had evacuated a number of villages.
Late Thursday, the 2 governments introduced a cease-fire and an settlement that troopers would return to their common positions, although it was unclear whether or not small areas of land that had modified arms can be returned, in keeping with a senior Kyrgyz official who was not approved to debate the settlement publicly.
In announcing the cease-fire, the Kyrgyz Ministry of Inside stated that it “doesn’t have designs on international territory and likewise has no plans to share its personal land with anyone.”
The preventing centered round Vorukh, a Tajik enclave inside Kyrgyzstan and a flash level within the battle over ethnic enclaves in and across the Ferghana Valley, a long-simmering safety downside that will get little consideration from the world at giant. The Soviet breakup left dozens of small pockets of ethnic minorities within the valley.
Vorukh, a mountain valley lush with water and identified for its apricot groves, is upstream from Kyrgyz villages that rely on it for irrigation.
Along with the water dispute, the Tajik authorities claims an entry hall to the district that’s contested by the Kyrgyz authorities. The preventing centered round this highway and a sluice controlling irrigation water.
Uncooked ethnic rigidity can be a backdrop to the preventing. The conflict was preceded by reports of locals hurling rocks at each other, and building staff and shepherds being kidnapped.
Although the world is much from the Afghan border and principal routes out of Afghanistan, the hostilities come at a fragile time for the US.
Within the early levels of the Afghan warfare, the US opened two bases in Central Asia to maneuver troops into Afghanistan, and transported all the pieces from gas to meals on an overland route by the area and into the warfare zone.
Central Asia at the moment gives an alternative choice to Pakistan as an overland route for transferring gear out of Afghanistan as the Biden administration has vowed a complete withdrawal by September.

Early in 2015 our granddaughter Megan gave us a plaque she made herself, which has pride of place on our kitchen wall: “I never stop thanking God for you – Ephesians 1:16”. It’s deeply touching and a brilliantly selected gift from a grandchild to her grandparents.
However, little Megan had no idea just how much of a comfort it has been to me during the past tumultuous year.
The economic chaos in Greece – the cradle of civilisation – and the unseemly scramble by the EU to bail it out; heartbreaking images of desperate journeys made by families fleeing the Middle East and North Africa; the random one-on-one stabbings of Israelis on the streets of Jerusalem; endless suicide bombers scattering blood and gore; unhinged young Americans assembling arsenals of weapons and mowing down schoolgoers; terrifyingly well-organised Muslim extremists maiming and killing residents in Paris, Brussels, Mali and Lagos; and closer to home, the steep decline in the value of the rand, the drought and the mindless determination of the formerly great ANC to self-destruct and take the country with it.
I’ve looked at that plaque every day since we received it, and during the mayhem of last year I thought: “Never stop thanking God I live in South Africa and that I am a farmer!”
The grass isn’t greener…
Now, don’t get me wrong, I don’t want to make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear. But when you take a look around the world, where would you rather be, and what would you rather be doing? When you feel a sense of despair, depression and, perhaps even fear coming over you – as I did when the Zuma/Nene/Van Rooyen/Gordhan debacle hit the news – give the emotion time to drain away and then dose yourself with perspective, and watch the international news channels.
Today, as I write this, all Los Angeles schools are closed due to a terror threat. An update on the FIFA corruption scandal points to a Swiss leader purloining its coffers. Do a quick African scan and update on civil wars in Burundi, the Central African Republic and South Sudan, and read about the latest throat cuttings by Boko Haram in Nigeria and beheadings by Al Shabaab in Kenya. That settles it. Here I stay and here I shall die – hopefully of natural causes!
There’s good in the bad
It has been a great year for Lowveld farmers. Export market prices of fruit and nuts have been excellent, with the weak rand the cherry on top. While the South African sugar crop is way down, the blame does not fall on the Lowveld, which has been spared the ravages of drought, unlike KwaZulu-Natal. Low sugar production has led to good prices, as there has been no need to export to a very depressed world market.
What is more, the heat wave during spring – the critical flowering and fruit set stage – seems to have done little damage. So far the water has held up, and recent good rains have set us on our way to see the summer through.
The deciduous fruit industry has also had a good year, with harvesting currently in full swing. The sector will certainly benefit greatly from the recent Zuma-induced step-down in the value of the rand.
However, while our farmers in the subtropics and temperate zones can bask in the relative success of the past year and the outlook for 2016, our central plateau-based grain and livestock farmers have not been as lucky. Perversely, as South Africa is a net importer of all grain products, the ever-weakening rand will drive the prices of all these products up, to the great benefit of local producers. The sting in the tail will, of course, be the rise in the price of inputs such as fertiliser and the like. But these will take time to filter through.
Livestock farmers are probably in for the roughest ride. When I think of them, I look at Megan’s plaque and silently say to myself: “Never stop thanking God for His guidance in leading me to choose a job that produces food”. Even in the worst times possible there is no escape. People have to eat and we, the producers, are the true kings in our own country.
So relax. As long as you run a well-managed competitive business, you, like me, will remain in South Africa until the end of your days.

The Suez Canal is an important maritime route connecting the Red Sea and the Mediterranean Sea. It is a major shipping lane for both commercial and military vessels, and it is estimated that over 12 percent of the world’s trade passes through the canal. Unfortunately, the Suez Canal has also been the cause of some significant blockages which have had detrimental impacts on global trade and the environment. In this article, we will explore the causes and impacts of Suez Canal blockages.
Causes of Suez Canal Blockages
The Suez Canal has been blocked multiple times due to a variety of causes. The most common cause of blockages is when ships become grounded or run aground. This can be caused by strong winds, poor navigation, or a combination of both. In addition, ships can become blocked by sand or mud deposits, or by collisions with other ships. Finally, accidents, such as the recent Ever Given incident, can also cause blockages.
Impacts of Suez Canal Blockages
The impacts of Suez Canal blockages can be far-reaching. Firstly, it can cause delays in global trade as ships are unable to pass through the canal. This can lead to increased costs for companies, as well as decreased profits. Secondly, it can also lead to environmental damage as ships are forced to take longer, more fuel-intensive routes to reach their destination. Finally, it can cause a disruption in the global supply chain, as goods and services are delayed due to the blockage.
In conclusion, the Suez Canal has been subject to multiple blockages due to a variety of causes. These blockages have had a significant impact on global trade, the environment, and the global supply chain. As such, it is important to ensure that measures are taken to reduce the risk of blockages and to mitigate their impacts in the event of a blockage.

The Philippines has recorded a record nearly 4,000 new cases of coronavirus in a single day, increasing the total number of people infected to over 89,000, the Ministry of Health reported on Thursday.
3,954 new cases and 23 further deaths have been registered in the last 24 hours, increasing the COVID-19 balance in the Philippines to 89,374 infected and 1,983 deaths.
Of the total, 22,327 cases are still active – 88 percent of which are mild – while another 65,064 people have recovered, according to the Filipino newspaper “The Phil Star”.
Therefore, President Rodrigo Duterte is expected to announce a new prison sentence in the next few hours. In March, the Philippine President declared quarantine on the island of Luzon, the most populous in the country where Manila is located. De-escalation began in June.


So far-reaching are the effects of COVID-19 that it has harried drug regulatory authorities, usually the most risk-averse within the bureaucracy. ‘Do no harm’ is the driving principle of drug regulation and this is reflected in the thicket of documents and permissions that stand before the average novel drug or vaccine, for a chance at making it to the market. However, SARS-CoV-2, while mostly non-lethal, kills across demography and age-groups to confound sophisticated care systems. This has sent a signal to drug companies, biomedical firms and governments to scramble for anything with even the slightest chance of success. It is in this context that regulators, used to long timelines of testing new vaccines or drugs, are now under pressure to facilitate a solution rather than stick to weighing and dwelling on evidence of efficacy and safety. India’s drug regulatory authority as well as the Department of Biotechnology, which also funds vaccine development and drug research, now collaborate on fast-tracking. For instance, if an Indian company has partnered with a foreign one in developing a vaccine, then any trials already conducted by the foreign unit would be considered in allowing Indian companies to avoid repeating them in India. For drugs, those that have been proven to be safe for treating one disease may skip a fresh, large human trial, or a phase-3 trial. Potential vaccines too are now allowed to combine stages of trials — normally, regulators must approve results of each stage — to permit those testing the drug to move to the next stage. The rush to compress timelines, in itself, is no guarantee that a workable vaccine or reliable drug will emerge any faster. Drugs and vaccine-development have historically been expensive because immunology is a complex, eternal struggle with disease, and with high failures.
There have been instances when disease mortality is so high that not offering even a half-baked drug or a vaccine would be unethical. That is a call regulators have to constantly take. But not all emergencies are the same. There is now a situation, as in the case of itolizumab, a psoriasis drug repurposed for COVID-19, where the drug regulator has approved it for emergency use but the COVID-19 task force has expressed its reservations . Such dissonance among experts is unacceptable especially when they all have access to the same evidence. There is a tendency to view COVID-19 vaccine development or a new drug as a ‘race’ in which only the first vaccine to be out matters. Historically, vaccines, even those targeting the same disease, only get better over time. Will COVID-19 continuously linger as an endemic disease or will it mutate into oblivion? If it is the former, scientists can continue to work on better drugs or improved vaccines. Haste does not aid science.

West Ham fans showed their frustration at Jesse Lingard by throwing fake cash on the pitch.
Instead of joining back up with the Hammers, the playmaker signed for Premier League newcomers Nottingham Forest over the summer.
As the two clubs faced off at the City Ground for what was a 1-0 win to Forest, a section of West Ham supporters decided to hurl fake money at the midfielder.
The reaction to the incident has been mixed. Online one fan wrote: "They offered him 200k a week, he chose NFFC for 150k a week…" Another said: "If you're going to Forest, it's not for the money. It's for game time.

A third one replied: "@BrentfordFC yesterday booing Eriksen now @WestHam. fans crying over a loan player, I just don't get it they were with you 6 months."
A last one said: "These guys want the player to do what they won't do themselves. Telling they would chose a lesser paying job over a higher paying job."
Lingard left Manchester United on a free transfer at the end of last season and had plenty of options from across the Premier League and even in the MLS, by some accounts.
What do you think of Lingard's choice? Let us know in the comments section below
It was thought he would be heading to West Ham as he had a brilliant loan spell there in the second half of last season. For David Moyes' men, Lingard bagged nine Premier League goals in just 16 games, with the side earning a Europa League place.
But in the end, out of nowhere, he opted to join newly-promoted Nottingham Forest. Some have felt the reason the player made the move was for money – but this has been denied by the player.
Forest fans were heard chanting: "Jesse Lingard, he left because you're s***" at the match on Sunday.
But there was no animosity from David Moyes, who said: "He has moved on. Jesse was brilliant for us. Jesse got us into Europe with his goals, he gave us a huge lift when he joined the club and played a huge part of getting us into Europe.
"We acknowledge that and thank him greatly for that, the club made him a really good offer to come and we just couldn't quite get him. He's someone we could have liked, but obviously he chose Nottingham Forest."

A study with an intent-to-treat prospective design was published in 1998 by a team from the Johns Hopkins Hospital and followed-up by a report published in 2001. As with most studies of the ketogenic diet, no control group (patients who did not receive the treatment) was used. The study enrolled 150 children. After three months, 83% of them were still on the diet, 26% had experienced a good reduction in seizures, 31% had had an excellent reduction, and 3% were seizure-free.[Note 7] At 12 months, 55% were still on the diet, 23% had a good response, 20% had an excellent response, and 7% were seizure-free. Those who had discontinued the diet by this stage did so because it was ineffective, too restrictive, or due to illness, and most of those who remained were benefiting from it. The percentage of those still on the diet at two, three, and four years was 39%, 20%, and 12%, respectively. During this period, the most common reason for discontinuing the diet was because the children had become seizure-free or significantly better. At four years, 16% of the original 150 children had a good reduction in seizure frequency, 14% had an excellent reduction, and 13% were seizure-free, though these figures include many who were no longer on the diet. Those remaining on the diet after this duration were typically not seizure-free, but had had an excellent response.
Hi Mel, Assuming that your ranch dressing doesn’t have sugar added, you don’t need to worry too much about limiting it, but within reason. This is my homemade ranch dressing recipe, which has 0.9g net carbs per 2-tbsp serving. It would be hard to find a store bought one with much less than that, even though some round anything less than 1g down to 0g, which isn’t truly accurate. Also, keep in mind that if weight loss is your goal, some people find that too much dairy can cause a stall. Finally, make sure you aren’t using all your “available” carbs on ranch dressing – have it with some low carb veggies!
Children who discontinue the diet after achieving seizure freedom have about a 20% risk of seizures returning. The length of time until recurrence is highly variable, but averages two years. This risk of recurrence compares with 10% for resective surgery (where part of the brain is removed) and 30–50% for anticonvulsant therapy. Of those who have a recurrence, just over half can regain freedom from seizures either with anticonvulsants or by returning to the ketogenic diet. Recurrence is more likely if, despite seizure freedom, an electroencephalogram shows epileptiform spikes, which indicate epileptic activity in the brain but are below the level that will cause a seizure. Recurrence is also likely if an MRI scan shows focal abnormalities (for example, as in children with tuberous sclerosis). Such children may remain on the diet longer than average, and children with tuberous sclerosis who achieve seizure freedom could remain on the ketogenic diet indefinitely.
The first signs of ketosis are known as the “keto flu” where headaches, brain fogginess, fatigue, and the like can really rile your body up. Make sure that you’re drinking plenty of waterand eating plenty of salt. The ketogenic diet is a natural diuretic and you’ll be peeing more than normal. Take into account that you’re peeing out electrolytes, and you can guess that you’ll be having a thumping headache in no time. Keeping your salt intake and water intake high enough is very important, allowing your body to re-hydrate and re-supply your electrolytes. Doing this will help with the headaches, if not get rid of them completely.
Ketosis takes some time to get into – about two weeks of low carb eating is required for the initial adaptation. During this time there will be bouts of sluggishness, fatigue, headaches, and some gastrointestinal issues as you adapt, often referred to as “keto flu“. Proper electrolyte intake will correct most of these issues. In addition, the “diet” aspect of this ketogenic diet plan – that is, the caloric restriction – shouldn’t be worried about. Weight loss will come as your body regulates appetite as it the addiction to sugar and processed food lessens, so restricting calories during the initial two weeks isn’t recommended.
Another difference between older and newer studies is that the type of patients treated with the ketogenic diet has changed over time. When first developed and used, the ketogenic diet was not a treatment of last resort; in contrast, the children in modern studies have already tried and failed a number of anticonvulsant drugs, so may be assumed to have more difficult-to-treat epilepsy. Early and modern studies also differ because the treatment protocol has changed. In older protocols, the diet was initiated with a prolonged fast, designed to lose 5–10% body weight, and heavily restricted the calorie intake. Concerns over child health and growth led to a relaxation of the diet's restrictions. Fluid restriction was once a feature of the diet, but this led to increased risk of constipation and kidney stones, and is no longer considered beneficial.
On a ketogenic diet, you’re generally eating a diet that’s high in fat (roughly 70 percent of your total calories come from fat), moderate in protein (about 20 percent of your calories), and low in carbohydrate (about 5 percent of calories). By limiting carbohydrates (to usually less than 45 grams for the average person), your body lacks the glucose (from carbs) that it normally uses for energy, so it eventually switches over to burning fat as its primary fuel source instead; through a metabolic process called ketosis, the liver converts the fat into fragments of fatty acids called ketones, which power the brain and other organs and tissues.
People claiming huge benefits of these supplements – despite the lack of solid scientific support – may sometimes have a financial reason to believe in the supplements. Some of these products are sold under a multi-level marketing arrangement, where sales people are paid based on commission. For example, the company Prüvit sells drinkable ketones, called KETO//OS with a multi-level marketing structure.
In many developing countries, the ketogenic diet is expensive because dairy fats and meat are more expensive than grain, fruit and vegetables. The modified Atkins diet has been proposed as a lower-cost alternative for those countries; the slightly more expensive food bill can be offset by a reduction in pharmaceutical costs if the diet is successful. The modified Atkins diet is less complex to explain and prepare and requires less support from a dietitian.

Have you ever thought about your identity?
Who are you and what makes up your identity?
Did you have an identity crisis when you became a mother?
When I was pregnant I researched pregnancy, birth, breastfeeding just like all newly pregnant first time moms. Family, friends, even strangers were giving words of advice and making obvious statements like “your whole world is going to change” or “you will never sleep again”. These things made sense to me and I felt prepared when they later occurred.
What I was NOT prepared for was completely losing myself in the first year of motherhood.
I was overjoyed to finally be a mother but I didn’t recognize myself. I thought being a good mom meant giving everything to my baby. I thought I had to “do it all” but I never expected it to be this hard or confusing. And then I went back to work… and these feelings increased 10-fold. Every day I would question if I made the right decision to return to work. Should I be here? Should I be home with my baby? If I stayed home would it grow on me; would I like it more than working? Should I start a business and work for myself?
Being back at work wasn’t as fulfilling as it was before I had my baby. It was actually stressful; trying to pump several times a day, trying to focus when I just left my baby with strangers at daycare, trying to remember things with the fog of new mom brain. I wasn’t the employee I was before. I thought I liked working but now that it was hard and taking time away from my baby I didn’t know where that left me. Then I heard the term “identity shift”. This changed everything for me. I had my “ah-ha” moment of motherhood. I was fighting my identity as new mom, especially my identity as working mom.
In fact, I hadn’t even thought about my identity before I had a baby. No wonder I was so lost.
I worked for the same organization for 10 years before I had my son. I worked hard, I received promotions, I completed projects, and I built a solid reputation for myself at a company I enjoyed working for. For the first time, I realized that even before I had my son I was a career woman. I worked a full 8 hour day before going into labor – of course my career is a huge part of who I am. Then overnight, I had a baby and I was removed from the world I had known. I returned to my workplace with a different identity – a career mom. I had seen countless working moms do it; they work until they give birth, they are gone for leave, they come back and continue on as if nothing had happened. No one talks about having to redefine yourself and your career goals once you have a child. I felt so alone while I sat at my desk questioning my entire existence in the workforce; feeling like I’m neither a good mother nor a good employee. I spent several months reflecting on my identity. Who was I before I had my son? Who am I now? What kind of mother do I want to be? I was intentional about defining my own version of my new identity.
Here is what helped me:
- Embrace your career identity. I was first a career woman. Now, I am a career mom. My career
goals look a little different than before I had my son, but I still have a desire to pursue a career in
a large organization while working full-time. Once I embraced my new identity, I found that a lot
of my guilt lifted. I was wasting so much mental energy overthinking my work situation. I
stopped questioning why I was going to work every day. I knew why – because it is part of who I
- Stop the comparison game. Who are you comparing yourself to? When I asked this question to
myself I was surprised that it was my pre-baby self I was constantly thinking of. Pre-baby Jenny
could clean the house, pre-baby Jenny woke up at early to get a workout in, pre-baby Jenny ate
healthy, pre-baby Jenny killed it at work. Well obviously, pre-baby Jenny didn’t have an f***ing
baby. Comparison looks different for everyone. Are you comparing yourself to friends with
older children, to your mother, to the perfect insta-moms? Comparison results in unrealistic
expectations we try to live up to. Identify where your comparison is, give yourself grace, and roll
back those expectations.
- This is totally normal! Losing yourself in motherhood is normal. Not recognizing yourself is
normal. Missing your old self is normal. Struggling with the transition back to work is normal.
After I had a term, “identity shift” to define what I was feeling I started having conversations
with other women about the topic. Everyone had experienced something similar, especially my
working mom friends.
- Motherhood is a time of conflicting emotions. You can feel confident in your work and unsure of
yourself as a mother one day. The next you can feel like a confident mom and a bad employee.
Not every emotion requires action. You don’t need to quit your job because the transition back
is hard. You don’t need to be a stay at home mom because you had a bad day. Some days are
just hard. We can’t “fix” the conflicting emotions of a working mom. They will always be there.
- An identity shift is not a bad thing. It is complicated to sort through and it takes time. There will
be pieces of you that you may let go of, but instead of going back to your old self you are
becoming a better version of you. Becoming a mother brings so many positive changes to our
identity. Embrace them and move forward with intention about how you are going to define this
Who are you going to be when your kids grow up? Don’t lose sight of her. She is important and she deserves your time too. Our identities are ever-changing. Each time another major milestone comes along we may find ourselves redefining our identity again, but at least this time I hope you are prepared for it.
You can find Jenny at the following spaces in the social media world:

Yes! I feel like you become a mom and you have to loose yourself to find yourself again. Great article.

- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe’s MP has called on the Government to pay a £400 million debt it owes to the Iranian government to secure her release.
Tulip Siddiq told MPs she was becoming “increasingly frustrated” with the Government as they “ignored the elephant in the room” that the debt had become linked to Ms Zaghari-Ratcliffe’s detention in Iran, and needed to be paid to secure her release.
During a packed Westminster Hall debate which saw MPs of all parties vying for space in the room, Ms Siddiq also read out a letter from Ms Zaghari-Ratcliffe’s husband Richard, in which he revealed the Prime Minister passed him “one day” during his 21-day hunger strike outside the Foreign Office.
Hampstead and Kilburn MP Ms Siddiq said: “In six years of dealing with our Government I am getting increasingly frustrated with the fact that when I deal with ministers from Government they ignore the elephant in the room which is the fact that this case is now linked to the £400 million that we as a country owe Iran.”
She added: “We have seen that it is not a coincidence that any time there is movement on the IMS (International Military Services) court hearing, we see some movement on Nazanin’s case. When the IMS court hearing was delayed earlier this year, Nazanin received a call to say ‘Come to court because we need to speak to you’.”
Conservative former minister Sir Iain Duncan-Smith said other countries had managed to secure the release of their citizens from Iran, asking: “How is it the United States, Australia, France and Germany have all successfully now negotiated their citizens arbitrarily detained in Iran and yet we have made no progress?”
Liberal Democrat Foreign affairs spokesperson Layla Moran said the UK should “call the bluff” of the Iranians, adding: “If the Iranian Government said the debt removes the barrier and then if they still do not release these hostages we show the Iranian Government for the wicked regime it is. I do not see the downside.”
Foreign Office minister James Cleverly told MPs that the Government shared the frustration they felt about the detention of Ms Zaghari-Ratcliffe and other British nationals in Iran.
He added: “A number of members have raised the issue of the International Military Services debt. As I have said to the House of a number of occasions the UK Government recognises we have a duty legally to repay this debt and we continue to explore all legal options to resolve this 40-year-old case.
“But we have always been clear that we do not accept British dual nationals being used as diplomatic leverage.”
Concluding the debate, Ms Siddiq read out a letter from Richard Ratcliffe, which said: “Today marks day 2,054 of Nazanin’s detention. We are approaching our sixth Christmas apart. A little girl has been without her mother for five and a half years now. It did not have to be like this.”
The letter added: “The Prime Minister did not visit me on hunger strike, though he did pass me one day without coming over. His Government continues to put British citizens in harm’s way, Nazanin’s story shames this country.”
The link between the £400 million debt to Iran and Ms Zaghari-Ratcliffe’s detention has not been officially recognised.
MPs were reportedly expecting to be told not to mention the debt during the debate, for fear it could jeopardise an ongoing court case between the UK Government’s arms trading subsidiary International Military Services, and the Iranian defence ministry.
However, at the beginning of the debate, chairman Sir Charles Walker waived rules usually in place to allow discussion of the issue.

The Moonchild of Yesod by Karl Stone
Very rarely does a genuinely original occult book appear: this work, “The Moonchild of Yesod” (subtitled “A Grimoire of Occult Hyperchemistry, or Typhonian Sex Magick”), is just such a book. With an extraordinary use of language, the author builds on the work of Mme. Blavatsky, Aleister Crowley, and Kenneth Grant to construct a Magickal Mirror that opens a genuine Gateway to Beyond. Covering both practical and theoretical aspects, the eleven chapters are titled Hierophantism,The Mystical Veil, The Outer Garment of the Mind, Elemental Invocation, The Key of Tarot Dynamics, The Metaphysic of the Tarot Keys and the 93 Current, Occult Anatomy, The 50 Gates of Understanding, Hierogamy, The Sexual Ritual of the Sepher Yetzirah and A Sabbatic Sexual Working.
“For the use of the practising occultist and hyperchemist, giving in a compendious form a full description of obscure rites and practices, and a complete explanation of metaphysical matters, hallucinatory vortices, tentacled antheridial gateways toother worlds, the dislocation of the mind, and the deep penetrative insight that arises from these territories, arranged in an entirely novel and interesting manner.”
From the cover:
“Oracular gnosis, is the hypostatic precipitation of phantasma within the non-spatial stellar dimensions of the initiate. Traffick with praeter-human intelligences are received as a concussion of ‘shadow signatures’ which colour (Kalas) the magickal mirror experientially as a Somatonoësis.
Magickally, the crystallisation of this phantasma is a Lunar sexual operation. It occurs within the oneiric womb of Yesod, which receives the praeter-human spermatozoon via the lens of Daäth (The gateway to the ‘Outer Ones’). Within this siderialised amnion, the spectral tinctures undergo a form of hyper-chemistry, whereby the colours (Kalas) out of space arouse a convolvulus within the ‘Astral Light’, manifesting an antheridial embryonate, the Moonchild (Homunculus), which consolidates it’s prescience upon the substrate of the terrestrial sphere. The Moonchild is the vehicle of the Magickal Will i.e. making the word, flesh.
This grimoire is both a Theoretical and Practical exegesis of initiation, sexual magick, qabalah and sorcery. It elucidates the tangential and oblique method, whereby contact with the subtle occult forces are amplified from the deep soundless recesses of non-spatial stellar loci as a physicality (Somatonoësis). Such transmissions are approached indirectly and inferred by the magickal engine of the qabalah, whereby their gateways are represented as tauroid gestalts (Sephira) to the ‘Outer Ones’. Such traffick can be used for mystical or magickal operations depending upon how the practitioner utilises these subtle intrusions (Kalas) of phantasma inspissated within the alembic of the adepts occult anatomy as a Somatonoësis.”
On the Outer, Karl Stone is a discordian episkopos, Bone Setter, Tibetan medical practitioner, occult mycologist, and hyperchemist of the Trans-Himalayan system. He serves as a Hyadean emissary of The Cult of The Yellow Sign. The adepts of this Order are always masked and hidden in plain sight. They receive transmissions from the Hyades, which coalesce through the planes somatonoëtically into that Star Stone, the immortalised star crystal of the astral light, otherwise known as theLapis Exellis (Stone of Lucifer).

Tucker Carlson dropped the hammer on the “permanent Deep State” yesterday, charging that the CIA was actually behind Richard Nixon’s ouster over Watergate by a former intel operative named Bob Woodward who “came directly from the classified areas of the federal government.”
Tucker Carlson on Fox News:
“If you really want to understand how the American government actually works at the highest levels, and if you want to know why they don’t teach history anymore, one thing you should know is that the most popular president in American history was Richard Nixon. Richard Nixon. Yet somehow, without a single vote being cast by a single American voter, Richard Nixon was kicked out of office and replaced by the only unelected president in American history. So, we went for the most popular president to a president nobody voted for. Wait a minute, you may ask, why didn’t I know that? Wasn’t Richard Nixon a criminal?
Wasn’t he despised by all decent people? No, he wasn’t. In fact, if any president could claim to be the people’s choice, it was Richard Nixon. Richard Nixon was re-elected in 1972 by the largest margin of the popular vote ever recorded before or since. Nixon got 17 million more votes than his opponent. Less than two years later, he was gone. He was forced to resign and in his place, an obedient servant of the federal agencies called Gerald Ford took over the White House.
How did that happen? Well, it’s a long story, but here are the highlights and they tell you a lot. Richard Nixon believes that elements in the federal bureaucracy were working to undermine the American system of government and had been doing that for a long time. He often said that. He was absolutely right. On June 23, 1972, Nixon met with the then–CIA director, Richard Helms, at the White House. During the conversation, which thankfully was tape-recorded, Nixon suggested he knew “who shot John,” meaning President John F. Kennedy. Nixon further implied that the CIA was directly involved in Kennedy’s assassination, which we now know it was. Helms’s telling response? Total silence, but for Nixon, it didn’t matter because it was already over. Four days before, on June 19, The Washington Post had published the first of many stories about a break-in at the Watergate office building.
Unbeknownst to Nixon and unreported by The Washington Post, four of the five burglars worked for the CIA. The first of many dishonest Watergate stories was written by a 29-year-old metro reporter called Bob Woodward. Who exactly was Bob Woodward? Well, he wasn’t a journalist. Bob Woodward had no background whatsoever in the news business. Instead, Bob Woodward came directly from the classified areas of the federal government. Shortly before Watergate, Woodward was a naval officer at the Pentagon.
He had a top-secret clearance. He worked regularly with the intel agencies. At times, Woodward was even detailed to the Nixon White House, where he interacted with Richard Nixon’s top aides. Soon after leaving the Navy, for reasons that have never been clear, Woodward was hired by the most powerful news outlet in Washington and assigned the biggest story in the country. Just to make it crystal clear what was actually happening, Woodward’s main source for his Watergate series was the deputy director of the FBI, Mark Felt, and Mark Felt ran — and we’re not making this up — the FBI’s COINTELPRO program, which was designed to secretly discredit political actors, the federal agencies wanted to destroy — people like Richard Nixon. And at the same time, those same agencies were also working to take down Nixon’s elected vice president, Spiro Agnew. In the fall of 1973, Agnew was indicted for tax evasion and forced to resign. His replacement was a colorless congressman from Grand Rapids called Gerald Ford.
What was Ford’s qualification for the job? Well, he had served on the Warren Commission, which absolved the CIA of responsibility for President Kennedy’s murder. Nixon was strong-armed into accepting Gerald Ford by Democrats in Congress. “We gave Nixon no choice but Ford,” Speaker of the House Carl Albert later boasted. Eight months later, Gerald Ford of the Warren Commission was the president of the United States. See how that works? So those are the facts, not speculation. All of that actually happened. None of it’s secret. Most of it actually is on Wikipedia, but no mainstream news organization has ever told that story. It’s so obvious, yet it’s intentionally ignored and as a result, permanent Washington remains in charge of our political system.
Unelected lifers in federal agencies make the biggest decisions in American government and crush anyone who tries to rein them in and in the process, our democracy becomes a joke. Now, you may have noticed that the very first person in the Trump administration the agencies went after was Gen. Michael Flynn. Why Flynn? Because Mike Flynn was a career Army intel officer who ran the Defense Intelligence Agency. In other words, Mike Flynn knew exactly how the system worked, and as a result, he was capable of fighting back. Four days after Donald Trump’s inauguration, the FBI lured Mike Flynn into a meeting without his lawyer, concocted a series of fake crimes and forced him to resign.
So, that’s how things actually work in Washington. Let’s stop lying about it. Joe Biden, meanwhile, whooped like a hyena when the Justice Department destroyed Mike Flynn. So, there is, we have to say, a certain perverse justice in watching something very similar happen to Joe Biden himself six years later. Joe Biden does not deserve our sympathy. He’s being shafted, but don’t weep for him, and yet, the rest of us do deserve a better system, an actual democracy. When people nobody voted for run everything, you are not living in a free country.”

Kathleen Dautel grew up in Oregon in a creative family. She always had artistic influences in my life, particularly her father who was a printmaker, painter and art professor.
While studying Art History and Fine Arts at the University of Oregon, I took my first metalsmithing class in 1990 and love it. After graduating in 1991, I continued my education and received a BFA in Metalsmithing in 1993.
Inspired by the buildings and environment in Portland, Kathleen decided to pursue a career in architecture, which brought her to Raleigh, NC. In 1999 Kathleen graduated from the NCSU Master of Architecture program and worked as a project designer for several great architecture firms in the area. Winning several design awards for many of the projects, Kathleen found her passion for metalsmithing never waned.
In the fall of 2009 Kathleen launched her own jewelry and metalsmithing line, Spark Metal Studio in Raleigh. Each design is original, laser cut stainless steel that is hand finished and hand colored with epoxy resin. The forms are both architecturally based and drawn from nature with a linear graphic quality.

Andy’s Airplanes is a childrens series that follows Andy and his best friend Yaygrr, the ferret, on adventures to all corners of the globe to meet new friends, learn about different cultures and, of course, do the one thing Andy loves best… fly airplanes.
Andy’s adventures most often start in his bedroom, where he invites us on his next great adventure. He shows us where we are going on the big map and then wastes no time getting started. Some might think that Andy’s adventures are all imagined and that he never actually leaves his room, but Andy always returns from an adventure with a souvenir from the places he’s been.
The characters that Andy meets from different places are always passionate about their culture and are willing to show Andy and Yeager all about their part of the world. One of the most important characters in each episode is the airplane. Each plane has a large screen presence and an almost Iconic stature.
Andy’s Airplanes is a fully 3D animated series and we are involved in all stages of the production, but enjoy our part as character animators most. Among other things Monika Bress is also involved in setting up characters and environments for animation, doing tech support and preparing the finished animations for rendering. Then we help getting the rendered material through the grading process to derive the final image.

"Address funding issue for varsities"
The ASUU President, Prof Biodun Ogunyemi made the call on Wednesday while answering questions from newsmen.
The ASUU President, Prof Biodun Ogunyemi made the call on Wednesday while answering questions from newsmen after the inauguration of a new secretariat constructed by the ASUU chapter of Kano State University of Science and Technology, Wudil.
NAN reports that the new ASUU secretariat was named after Nasir Hussein, a founding member of the union in the university.
Ogunyemi said the union was not happy with the allocations to the sector in the last three years and said that the National Assembly must change the narrative.
“In this year’s budget 6.1 per cent was allocated, last year it was eight per cent and we rejected it and the year before was 11 per cent.
“So the allocation to the education sector has been on the decline and what we are saying is that we will no longer take it.
“We went to the National Assembly during the budget defence and argued our case,” the ASUU president said.
He expressed hope that the lawmakers would do something urgently to address the issue, to enable Nigerian universities have the necessary facilities for uninterrupted academic activities and be able to compete with other universities across the world.
“We hope the National Assembly will address the issue of funding and address other problems bedeviling the universities in the country.
“We have always been engaging government on what they need to do to make our universities globally competitive to attract and retain the best academics.”
According to him, the union is also working to promote policies that would address the welfare of its members as well as improve the quality of lives of Nigerians.
Ogunyemi also commented on salary shortfalls in some universities, saying that the union would no longer tolerate such.
“We have written to the government. We met at Yola last week and we put it on the table that as from the end of March, we will no longer accept any reduction in what is due to our members as their entitlements.”
He added that ASUU would continue to concsientise Nigerians to identify people with the capacity to provide the best leadership in the country.

Nearly two months after the train derailment disaster in East Palestine, Ohio, Norfolk Southern CEO Alan Shaw has issued an apology to the residents of the small town.
According to Fox News, the Norfolk Southern CEO apologized to the residents of East Palestine, Ohio about the train derailment and vowed to make the situation right during testimony before a Pennsylvania Senate committee on Monday (March 20th). Shaw said the company will also “make good on its promise” to clean the site safely and thoroughly. He then stated Norfolk Southern already has given $7.5 million to support a community relief fund as well.
“I want to begin today by expressing how deeply sorry I am for the impact this derailment has had on the citizens of East Palestine and the communities in western Pennsylvania,” Shaw told the Pennsylvania Senate committee.
Shaw also said that he’s been to East Palestine as well as Pennsylvania many times over the past six weeks while Norfolk Southern continues to clean up the derailment site. “I’ve talked with community leaders, business owners, school officials, faith-based leaders, and others throughout the community. They’ve shared their stories and their concerns about the health of their families, their businesses, and the future of the community they love. I am determined to make this right.”
The train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio occurred on February 3rd when nearly 50 cars of a Norfolk Southern train derailed and spilled toxic chemicals into the air, soil, and nearby creeks. Following the disaster, officials conducted a chemical release and burned toxic vinyl chloride. Shaw pointed out that environmental tests showed that the air in East Palestine was safe to breathe after the derailment, during the controlled burn of the toxic chemicals, and after the burn was completed.
Ohio Attorney General Sues Norfolk Southern Over ‘Epic Disaster’ Train Derailment
Shaw’s apology comes one week after Ohio Attorney General, Dave Yost, announced that the state will be filing a lawsuit against Norfolk Southern over the train derailment. At the time of the announcement, Yost stated that the derailment could have been entirely avoidable. “I’m concerned that Norfolk Southern may be putting profits for their own company above the health and safety of the cities and communities that they operate in,” he stated.
Yost’s lawsuit is to make sure that Norfolk Southern is keeping its word to the people of East Palestine and the entire state of Ohio. He then said that the incident as being an “epic disaster” and the cleanup will be extensive.
Some of the East Palestine residents are also suing Norfolk Southern in a class action lawsuit of their own. Yost says that the Ohio lawsuit differs from the East Palestine residents’ lawsuit. He says the Ohio suit is seeking damages to the “state of Ohio, to its environment, to its economy, as well as the broader damage to the people.”

Amidst the hustle and bustle of the Christmas season and the flurry of Black Friday and Cyber Monday, Giving Tuesday allows you to get back to the true joy of the Christmas season.
It is a day to think about Christmas giving in a different way – to reflect on the significance of the gifts of the magi to their King. Giving Tuesday allows you to refocus your Christmas-list strategy and to give a gift that really matters – a gift that could count for eternity.
Your gift to Alliance Defending Freedom today is a gift that will keep on giving.
We defend life from conception to natural death, work to restore a strong culture of marriage and family, and advocate for religious freedom. It’s our goal to keep the door open for the gospel.
A Gift to ADF is a Gift to Defend Life.
When the Bracy Family’s insurance provider cancelled their plan, they were forced to purchase insurance from the Connecticut Obamacare exchange, but every plan included a mandatory abortion surcharge – a fee that would require them to pay for other people to kill babies in the womb.
As a result of a lawsuit we brought on behalf of the Bracy Family, two weeks ago the Federal Government and Connecticut added new coverage plans that do not fund abortion. Now pro-life people in Connecticut can take care of their own family’s healthcare without paying to destroy unborn lives.
A Gift to ADF is a Gift to Build Strong Marriages and Families.
Our attorneys have been tirelessly advocating to the courts for the right of the people to affirm marriage as the union of one man and one woman. God’s design for marriage is the future, the foundation on which strong families and a strong society can be built.
We were thrilled with the Sixth Circuit’s recent decision affirming that states are not constitutionally required to fundamentally alter the meaning of marriage. People of good will may disagree on whether redefining marriage is good or bad policy, but the Constitution doesn’t answer the question, and it certainly doesn’t require that policy decisions be taken out the hands of the people. And children should have the opportunity to grow up with both a mom and a dad.
A Gift to ADF is a Gift to Restore Religious Freedom.
When 5th grader Katie Ayers was told by school administrators that she couldn’t give her friends invitations to a church Christmas party during non-instructional time at school, Alliance Defending Freedom defended her religious freedom in court. We won a victory that secured greater freedom for school children in three states. Since that time, Katie has been able to invite her school friends to church – one of those friends came to church with Katie and accepted Jesus as her savior.
Your gift will immediately be used to help people like Katie, the Bracy Family, and others who are brave enough to stand up for their faith.
Thank you for your generous gift to defend life, build strong marriages and families, and restore religious freedom!
