True or false? You decide. The truth is probably somewhere in the middle.
For the last ten days, infectious disease experts around the world have been warning that China is radically downplaying the true numbers of infections and deaths caused by the coronavirus pandemic. Now, evidence has emerged that appears to indicate China is keeping two sets of numbers when it comes to infections and deaths: A set of real numbers, and then a second set of “official” numbers which are far lower.
Zero Hedge reported this morning, “As Taiwan [News] reports in a report first spotted by user @TheHKGroup, over the weekend, Tencent “seems to have inadvertently released what is potentially the actual number of infections and deaths, which were astronomically higher than official figures”, and were far closer to the catastrophic epidemic projections made by Jonathan Read.”
That link to Taiwan News is found here. That publication reports, “Netizens also noticed that each time the screen with the large numbers appears, it shows a comparison with the previous day’s data which demonstrates a ‘reasonable’ incremental increase, much like comparisons of official numbers. This has led some netizens to speculate that Tencent has two sets of data, the real data and ‘processed’ data.”
According to official numbers from mainland China, which are updated daily at websites like QQ.com (see link), the current number of coronavirus infections is still under 25,000. Even then, it currently appears to be expanding at roughly 20% per 24-hour period, which represents a doubling of infections every 3.5 days (because the growth is compounded).
(The left column is infections, and the right column is deaths.)
However, observers have noted that the official numbers reported by the communist Chinese government recently slipped into the “real numbers,” suddenly showing far higher confirmed infections and deaths: 154,024 infections and 24,589 deaths.
Here’s screen shot that was captured before the numbers reverted back to the lower, “official” numbers:
The initial reaction from observers might be something along the lines of, “That was just a typo. So they corrected it.” However, there’s more to this story:
The higher numbers didn’t merely appear by themselves, out of context. Above each number is an “increase” factor that calculates how much larger today’s numbers are compared to yesterday’s numbers. For the 24,589 deaths, located at the lower right of this graphic, you’ll notice a number above it that states, “+1546.” The Chinese characters next to the numbers explain, “Compared to yesterday.”
This means there is an underlying database that’s tracking daily numbers and being used to calculate the day-to-day differences. Similarly, there’s a number above the infection count of 154,023 that explains, “+20979.” This indicates the day-over-day increase from the previous day.
These numbers are clearly being automatically calculated, because if human error were to blame for typing the wrong numbers representing infections and deaths, it would be extremely unlikely that two more typos would coincidentally appear above those numbers, accidentally showing day-to-day increases that are consistent with a second set of numbers that are obviously being stored in parallel.
This is very strong evidence that the Chinese government has two sets of numbers related to the coronavirus pandemic and is choosing to deceive the public by releasing numbers which are roughly 1/10th the actual number of infections and deaths that the Chinese government itself has secretly recorded.
As Taiwan News reports (link above):
Some are speculating that a coding problem could be causing the real “internal” data to accidentally appear. Others believe that someone behind the scenes is trying to leak the real numbers.
However, the “internal” data held by Beijing may not reflect the true extent of the epidemic. According to multiple sources in Wuhan, many coronavirus patients are unable to receive treatment and die outside of hospitals.
A severe shortage of test kits also leads to a lower number of diagnosed cases of infection and death. In addition, there have been many reports of doctors being ordered to list other forms of death instead of coronavirus to keep the death toll artificially low.
The WHO, not surprisingly, is praising China for its “transparency,” indicating just how many crooks or fools work at the WHO. Based on videos, reports, whistleblowers, doctors and independent journalists who are reporting from China, it seems rather apparent that China is radically downplaying the true number of infections and deaths associated with this pandemic.
This chart shows the daily increase in coronavirus infections. Note the parabolic shape of the curve:
Here’s a current map showing “official” numbers, which are increasing nearly 20% per day:

Every year, public health officials urge Americans to get a flu shot. And every year, millions of Americans come up with excuses not to do it.
I never get sick.
The vaccine isn’t 100 percent effective.
Because others are getting a shot, I’m protected so I don’t need it, too.
While not exactly wise, these excuses could fly in other years. But not this flu season.
North Carolina officials have said about 42 people have died thus far this year because of the flu. That includes a healthy 6-year-old who died of the flu in Cary just a couple days ago.
The flu is so deadly this year that it has claimed the lives of physically fit people all over the country.
So many people are so sick and so scared that hospitals in Southern California are running out of nurses and doctors to treat them. In the East Bay, the antiviral medication Tamiflu is in short supply. There’s also a growing shortage of beds and space for patients to wait and get medical care.
Some hospitals have had no choice but to put up tents in parking lots to create makeshift triage centers. Others have cleared out old storage rooms and turned them into emergency rooms. In Santa Cruz, one hospital has enacted visitor restrictions not seen since the days of the H1N1 “swine flu” pandemic in 2009.
Hospitals all across the country are preparing, including Alamance Regional Medical Center, which has banned children.
J. Douglas Kirk, the chief medical officer at UC Davis Medical Center in California said, “We have identified and are creating a space that is adjacent to our emergency department where we will create a flu treatment center.” The plan is to open it on Wednesday.
It’s important to remember that we still haven’t reached peak flu season, and so some public health officials believe the worst is yet to come. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that, for the first year in more than a decade, every state except for Hawaii is grappling with an outbreak.
Admittedly, this year’s vaccine is, at best, 30 percent effective. But even if it doesn’t stop you from getting the flu, it can lessen the severity and length of the illness.
So if you’re still waiting to get a flu shot, don’t. For everyone’s sake, including your own, go. No more excuses.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- Even after the state moves away from using Social Security numbers as identifiers for Medicaid recipients, those who also receive Medicare won't get new random identification numbers.
About 90,000 people will still be identified by their Social Security numbers even after the switch in October. About 900,000 will get a new random ID number.
State health officials say the numbers have to still be used to confer with the federal agency that runs Medicare.
Gov. Jim Doyle has told state agencies to stop using Social Security numbers whenever possible. The state Department of Administration has yet to compile a list of agencies still using the numbers.

The AMD Radeon Vega Frontier Edition is a powerful card with 16 GB of VRAM. It's meant for data scientists, immersion engineers and product designers - not for gamers.
Pro Decent general performance
Firestrike tests are used to measure the overall performance of a GPU. For these tests a setup with an i7-4790K CPU was used.
The AMD Radeon Vega Frontier Edition scored 17,152 in the Fire Strike test, 9,449 in the Fire Strike Extreme test and 5,216 in the Fire Strike Ultra test. For comparison, Geforce GTX Titan X scored 17,396, 7,989 and 3,862 accordingly.
The performance of the Vega FE card is decent. The soon to be released Vega consumer cards are very likely to outperform this Frontier Edition version in these tests.
Pro Decent game performance
At 4K resolution, the Vega FE runs Dirt Rally at 57 FPS, Fallout 4 at 42 FPS, Hitman at 50 FPS and The Witcher 3 at around 30 FPS.
The in-game performance is similar to GTX 1080 cards. Though, it's probably going to be improved by the consumer versions of this Vega card. They will be more optimized for gaming.
Con Not for gaming
The card is mostly meant for freelance content creators. If you're developing for example video games and want to test them on the same PC, while keeping the cost of the setup low, this card is for you. For very large and costly projects, where the price of the GPU doesn't make much of a difference, you should look at AMD FirePro cards or similar.
Though the AMD Radeon Vega Frontier Edition does come with gaming drivers, a regular gamer can run into a lot of issues. Unless you're a "digital pioneer", it's recommended to wait for the Vega RX series to be released later in 2017, since they are much better optimized for games.

Standard precautions did not require a private bedroom, with gloves, gowns, and apron needed for direct contact to body fluids or wounds only, and consistent hand hygiene. Contact precautions required a private bedroom and strict hand hygiene, with gloves, gowns, and aprons used for any patient contact. Study staff monitored compliance with these procedures monthly.
The primary outcome was the ESBL-E acquisition rate per 1,000 patient days. This was defined as a new ESBL-E detection after the patient had a prior negative screen. Dr. Maechler noted that by epidemiological definition, acquisition does not necessarily imply cross-transmission from other patients.
Adherence to the study protocols was good, she said. Adherence to both contact and standard precautions was about 85%, while adherence to hand hygiene was less at around 62%.
Admission ESBL-E screenings revealed that about 12% of the study population was colonized with the strain at admission. The proportion was nearly identical in the contact and standard precaution groups (11.6%, 12.2%).

Hausmanis collects third straight All-State award
For the third straight season, Three Rivers’ Tirrell Hausmanis was named to the Associated Press’ Class B All State teams.
The senior was named to the honorable mention unit. He was also named to the Div. II All-State football team.
“Its such a great honor. It's my third straight year making all state,” Hausmanis said. “It's cool being able to make all state for both basketball and football. Not a lot people can say that. All The hard work is paying off.”
Hausmanis has been a three year starter for the Wildcats.
This season he scored 330 points, adding 225 rebounds and 66 assists.
Tirrell is one of those special players that I was able to coach for three year on varsity,” coach Brian Burg said. “Not only was he outstanding on the court, but was also a great student and leader off the court.
“His stats and acheivements say it all,” Burg added. “I’m so proud of hime and wish him the best in his next years.”
New Haven star Weems picked as AP Class B Player of the Year
Romeo Weems raised his game and profile this basketball season.
The New Haven standout spent the last weekend in March at the NCAA Final Four as a member of an all-junior USA Basketball squad that participated in exhibition games against teams organized by the NBA.
A week earlier, Weems led the Rockets into a second consecutive state semifinal game at the Breslin Center, capping a season in which he averaged career highs of 23.5 points and 10.8 rebounds per game.
New Haven was unable to defend its 2017 state championship, losing to Grand Rapids Catholic Central 69-53.
Weems, however, enhanced his stature as one of the state's premier 11th-graders as he helped New Haven to a 26-0 record and an overall winning streak of 52 games before the semifinal defeat. The target of an intense recruiting campaign, Weems was named The Associated Press Class B Player of the Year for the second consecutive season.
"Romeo had a great season for us," New Haven coach Tedaro France II said. "He has made tremendous strides in his game and he continues to get better every day.
"With him, it starts in the gym. His work ethic and leadership are second to none and are contagious to everyone in our program."
Weems, who missed two games in December with an arm injury, scored 590 points this season. That raised his career total to 1,497 and moved Weems to within 343 points of the New Haven record that has stood since 1971.
"I just take things one day at a time," the 6-foot-7 Weems said.
College coaches pursuing Weems saw a more consistent perimeter shooter this season.
"One of the biggest strides he made was his ability to shoot the 3-point shot," France said. "He could beat you in so many ways, but he struggled at being consistent behind the arc last season. This past off-season he was determined to improve his ability to shoot the ball, and he became one of the top shooters on our team."
He was 51-of-126 (40 percent) from 3-point range. As a sophomore, he made 31 percent (20-of-64) from behind the arc.
Weems, who has received offers from Michigan, Michigan State, Ohio State and Oregon, among others, gave some of his more memorable performances against the Rockets' better opponents.
He had 26 points and 12 rebounds in an 81-70 regular-season victory over Flint Beecher, which at the time was the defending state Class C champion.
Weems turned in a quadruple-double that included 19 points and 16 rebounds in a 92-74 victory over Detroit Country Day in a regional championship game.
Weems' backcourt steal and basket with less than two minutes to play gave the Rockets a 10-point lead after the Yellowjackets had cut a 22-point deficit to eight.
"I'm just playing hard at all times," Weems said, recalling the tide-turning steal. "I'm going to keep playing no matter what."
Weems played for the gold-medal-winning USA Basketball U16 team last summer. At New Haven, he has been part of three consecutive regional championship teams.
He was joined on the 10-player all-state first team by Carlos Johnson of state champion Benton Harbor, Mario Whitley of Frankenmuth, Bryce Drews of Hillsdale, Mark Watts of Detroit Old Redford, Trevion Williams of Detroit Henry Ford Academy, Cole Kleiver of Williamston, Marcus Bingham of Grand Rapids Catholic Central, Luke Tolliver of Paw Paw and Isaiah Jackson of Detroit Old Redford.
Corey Sterling of Benton Harbor was named AP Coach of the Year.
The team was selected by a panel of Michigan sportswriters.

You need to talk to BMW NA and push this issue. I had a 07 4.8 that was terrible. I ended up with a trade asist to a 10 35D. The SUV ended up being no cost to me. It is also perfect with zero flaws. For awhile I never wanted to drive another BMW now we are thinking of a second. In my case you do need to raise a stink and be the squeaking wheel.

Mr. Averill is going to Washington.
A musical adaptation of "The Emperor's New Clothes" by Lawrence playwright-composer Ric Averill will open Nov. 23 at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. Averill will leave Nov. 15 for the nation's capital for three weeks of rehearsals, school performances and "meet the composer-director" sessions.
The operatic adaptation of the popular Hans Christian Andersen story has been in the works for more than a year. Averill's libretto updates the classic tale with a love story and a funny ending.
"At the Kennedy Center in June 2000, the play was in development at the New Visions/New Voices (play development symposium) along with five other plays," said Averill, Kansas University alumnus and co-founder of the Seem-To-Be Players, a professional children's theater company based in Lawrence.
KU Opera did a workshop staging of "The Emperor's New Clothes" in January under the direction of Mark Ferrell, associate professor of music. A representative from the Kennedy Center attended the show and later notified Averill that the organization wanted to commission his work.
Although it is the first opera Averill has composed for the center, he previously has had two plays selected for the New Visions/New Voices symposium.
The opera has undergone several rewrites and will be directed in Washington by Graham Whitehead, director of Child's Play Theatre in Tempe, Ariz. Averill flew to Washington in June to help select the five-member cast.
"The singers are of operatic quality and have musical theater background," he said.
Averill and a 10-piece orchestra will record the music for the show Thursday at the Lied Center.
"The Emperor's New Clothes" will run through Dec. 23. School performances are planned during the week, with public performances on the weekend.
"They are tentatively planning to tour it in 2003-2004," Averill said, adding that he is hoping a partnership can be formed between the Lawrence Arts Center and the Lied Center to book the show in Lawrence.
"What's most exciting about this is it combines my original intention to become a composer with the career I fell into, that being a playwright," he said. "It's putting being a writer and composer together."
Averill has several other projects in the planning stage, including a new piece with a Southwest flavor and large puppets for the Santa Fe Opera and a children's opera with a New York opera company.

'We Can't Recycle Our Way Out of This Problem': Ben & Jerry's Bans Single-Use Plastics
Ice cream maker Ben & Jerry's announced major efforts on Monday to quickly curb its use of single-use plastics. By April of this year, its 600-plus Scoop Shops around the world will only offer wooden spoons, rather than plastic ones. Paper straws will also only be available upon request.
All together, the move is expected to prevent 2.5 million plastic straws and 30 million plastic spoons from being handed out each year, Jenna Evans, Ben & Jerry's Global Sustainability Manager, said in a press release.
"We're not going to recycle our way out of this problem," she said. "We, and the rest of the world, need to get out of single-use plastic."
Evans explained that if all the plastic spoons used by Ben & Jerry's U.S. shops were placed end to end, they'd stretch from Burlington, Vermont to Jacksonville, Florida.
The Vermont-based company, which has a long track record of political and environmental activism, also announced today it will phase out clear plastic cups, plastic-lined cups and plastic lids by the end of 2020.
Although its tubs of ice cream have been made of Forest Stewardship Council Certified paperboard since 2009, they are coated with polyethylene to create a moisture barrier, making them difficult to recycle.
Evans said Ben & Jerry's is looking at biodegradable and compostable coating options that "meets our product quality requirements."
In response to the initiative, Greenpeace praised the brand for setting clear, short-term targets and for acknowledging that recycling alone is not enough to solve the world's mounting plastic problem.
"Ben & Jerry’s and forward-thinking companies around the world are starting to prioritize the reduction of plastics… https://t.co/MESPnfbbMQ— Greenpeace USA (@Greenpeace USA)1548686821.0
"Ben & Jerry's and forward-thinking companies around the world are starting to prioritize the reduction of plastics, rather than relying on additional recycling measures that keep the flow of plastics coming," Greenpeace USA Oceans Campaign Director John Hocevar said in an emailed press release.
We've all been taught that recycling is an important environmental responsibility, but of the 6.3 billion metric tons of plastic waste generated since the 1950s, only 9 percent has been recycled, according to one recent study. What's more, recycling plastics only perpetuates the use of fossil fuel-based polymers.
"In the short term, eliminating plastic straws and spoons is not going to save the world," Evans continued. "But it's a good start toward changing expectations. We're committed to exploring additional options to further reduce the use of disposable items. This transition is the first step for us on a more comprehensive journey to eliminate single-use, petroleum-based plastic in our supply chain, and we look forward to reporting on our progress."
"Thankfully, Ben & Jerry's has a baked-in solution to plastic waste: it's called our Waffle Cone," she added. "They're yummy, convenient, and waste-free!"

For centuries, the delicate silver dove has been a symbol of love and fidelity.
Biodiversity and Habitat Loss
Their near extinction is a symbol of the biodiversity crisis in the UK, largely driven by habitat destruction. Britain is now one of the countries with the most depleted nature in the world according to the World Wildlife Fund. Half its plant and animal species are in decline and more than 40 million birds have vanished in just half a century.

"[Turtle doves] are the canary in the [coal] mine because there are all these other species before it and after it," said Tree. "It's an umbrella for all the other species that are heading that way."

Turtle doves migrate south through Europe to sub-Saharan Africa between July and September, ending up in dry woodland and farmland areas of countries like Mali and Senegal for winter.

Droughts in West Africa and the Sahel region are believed to have contributed to the fall in turtle dove species recorded in northern Europe, with low rainfall reducing supplies of the seeds and insects the birds rely on for energy for the long journey home.

Conservation and Farming
Operation Turtle Dove, a partnership project of charities including the Essex Wildlife trust, works with landowners and farmers to actively build turtle dove habitat.

Outten works with Blue House Farm, a 660-acre nature reserve in the UK county of Essex, where they have replicated weedy fallow plots.

"We work on it every year to make sure it's in the condition it needs to be with plants such as clovers and black medic," Outten said. "These plants are native to the landscape and produce the seed the birds feed on."

The birds eat a wide range of seeds from various plants that would have been abundant 50 or 100 years ago, added Guy Anderson, program manager for species recovery with The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB).

"But it's simply true that with the gradual process of intensifying our agricultural production, the availability of those seeds has dropped and dropped," said Anderson.

Part of the project includes supplementary feeding — providing sources of food in the form of seed or grain. Under the Countryside Stewardship Scheme in England, farmers can receive financial support to create a turtle dove habitat.

Though they haven't recorded an increase in doves across the sites in the four years of working on the project, Outten said they are seeing improvements in how landowners and farmers manage habitat for the birds.

A Turtle Dove Haven
The 3,500-acre Knepp Estate in West Sussex is another project taking a different approach and one of the few places where turtle dove numbers are increasing.

Isabella Tree and her husband Charlie Burrell converted their intensively farmed land into a rewilding project almost 20 years ago. They have let the land return to nature.

Just one year after they'd finished rewilding the southern part of their property, they heard turtle doves for the first time. It's now a breeding hotspot for the birds with an estimated 19 pairs. Knepp is also home to 2% of the UK's population of nightingales.

Tree is critical of supplementary feeding schemes that, in her view, are short term. She questions the chances of turtle doves getting to feed on scattered seeds before other mammals eat them first.

State officials are asking Kansans with physical disabilities to contact them if they believe they were improperly dropped from a waiting list for support services through Medicaid.
Brandt Haehn, the state’s commissioner for home and community-based services within the Kansas Department for Aging and Disability Services, said the state is prepared to make service offers to those who step forward.
“If you think you are on the waiting list and have not received an offer, we want to hear from you,” Haehn said.
The state reported in August that the waiting list for physical disability support services provided under Medicaid had been eliminated.
But that announcement came after controversy over how the state culled the list since taking it over from Centers for Independent Living that serve Kansans with disabilities throughout the state.
Megan Buck, an official with the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, sent the state a letter last month saying the CMS regional office has received reports of Kansans with disabilities who were dropped from the list improperly — something the Centers for Independent Living had warned of for years.
Amy Hyten, an attorney and assistant director of the Topeka Independent Living Resource Center, said that after the state announced the elimination of the waiting list, she went back and located archived names of clients her organization added to the waiting list in 2011 and 2012.
“We circled back around and tried to make as much contact as possible with as many of them as possible,” Hyten said.
There were about 70 clients from those old lists, and attempts to contact most of them failed. But Hyten’s staff did track down seven of them.
“Almost every single one of them had not been offered services,” Hyten said. “When we brought that to the attention of KDADS, eventually they were given a rescreening and an offer of services.”
Kansans with physical disabilities who need Medicaid support services should email the Kansas Department for Aging and Disability Services.
The two waiting lists for Kansans with physical and developmental disabilities have been a source of conflict between the Centers for Independent Living and Gov. Sam Brownback’s administration since 2012, when the U.S. Department of Justice announced it was reviewing civil rights complaints about how long Kansans with physical disabilities had to wait to receive services.
Brownback said he had inherited lists that grew dramatically under his Democratic predecessors during the Great Recession. He also has cited elimination of the lists as a priority before the state considers expanding eligibility for Medicaid.
After the Justice Department announcement four years ago, the state hired a call center to try to contact the 3,462 people on the physical disability waiting list. The low response rate — about 11 percent — led then-KDADS Secretary Shawn Sullivan to question the integrity of the lists.
His agency gave the Centers for Independent Living one month to update them or risk having the lists turned over to the Kansas Attorney General’s Medicaid Fraud and Abuse Division.
KDADS then took over administration of the lists after the update. Over the next several years the state continued to pare the physical disabilities list by offering hundreds of people services paid for with KanCare savings.
State officials also removed from the list more than 1,000 people who could not be contacted or no longer wanted services.
Angela de Rocha, a spokeswoman for state agencies, said some of those removed from the list had moved out of state, some had rehabilitated to the point where they were no longer disabled, some had found other sources of support and some had died.
She said the state acted properly in culling the list.
“When we got both those lists, we realized there are some serious problems with them,” de Rocha said.
The state plans a similar review of the developmental disability waiting list, which still includes more than 3,400 Kansans.
Mike Oxford, executive director of the Topeka Independent Living Center, said the lists should have remained in local hands.
Care coordinators who work for the KanCare companies don’t check in with people on the list as often as the targeted case managers who worked for the Centers for Independent Living, Oxford said, which has made it even harder for the state to find people once they are able to offer them services.
“There’s nothing on the ground anymore to help keep up with people,” Oxford said.
Oxford said the Centers for Independent Living were criticized for having people on the waiting lists who could not be found, but after four years of administering the list the state has no better track record in that regard.
Haehn said he hoped that eliminating the physical disability list would erase that problem because there would be much less time between when clients are assessed for services and when they get offers — which means they’ll be less likely to have moved or changed phone numbers.
Meanwhile, Haehn said he wants to reset the state’s relationship with the Centers for Independent Living and partner with them to find any Kansans who were dropped from the physical disability list and still need services.
“If we work together, that’s the best way we’re going to be able to make sure people are getting the right services at the right time,” Haehn said.

Ok, if you’re going to seminary I am going to assume that you like to read. If you don’t… um, yeah, seminary is not going to be fun for you. So, here at goingtoseminary.com you’ll probably find lots of book recommendations. Today is no different.
While books can’t, in and of themselves, make your marriage better, there are certainly books that will help you to focus on Jesus a little more clearly and thus better understand how to be a better spouse. I was recently give a free copy of When Sinners Say I Do: Discovering the Power of the Gospel for Marriage, by Dave Harvey, thanks to the very kind folks at the Westminster Bookstore and want to say that it is really amazing.
Harvey dives into the often neglected fact that we are sinners (yes, saved by grace and made righteous in Christ… but sinner) and that this is ultimate reason for conflict in our marriages… Two sinners, together, till death. Thankfully, the very gospel that saves and transform our personal lives is the very gospel that will save and transform your marriage. Harvey is a great writer and this one is well worth the read.
Anyone else picked this one up? What did you think?

Less than a day after my last Article where I asked if UKIP were racist homophobes UKIP Councillor & MEP candidate Janice Atkins has made the news when she became infuriated by anti-UKIP protesters while on the campaign trail.
Ms Atkinson who describes herself as Nigel Farage’s number two is reported to have hurled abuse as a group of Green Party Members who were holding a peaceful protest. One Green Party Member who was part of the protest also said that she faced comments about her size, Ms Atkinson defended her actions by saying that the group were harassing the public & comments made about UKIP Members.
Last week Ms Atkins made the headlines by saying that parts of Kent are “no-go-areas” due to gangs of Eastern European immigrants. This just proves that UKIP are racist homophobes that act childish when anyone doesn’t like them.
Thank god that UKIP are only a minor party when it comes to the General Election otherwise we’d end up living in a racist homophobic Dictatorship that would take away our free speech.
Ms Atkinson is the second choice candidate behind Nigel Farage for the South East. This means that she’ll be Elected MEP if she wins two or more seats.

The initial task for John Negroponte as the country's first director of national intelligence will be to show he's boss. Unless this former U.S. ambassador to Iraq and the United Nations asserts control over the country's 15 sprawling intelligence agencies within six months, he'll lose the clout he needs to do his job: Turf battles and bureaucratic inertia will effectively stop him in his tracks. It's imperative that he win his first battles -- even if they're over the color of the table napkins.
For the intelligence chief to succeed, President Bush must throw his full support behind Negroponte and his capable deputy, Gen. Michael Hayden. If Negroponte does not quickly make full use of the legal and budgetary authorities in the intelligence-reform law, passed in December with the goal of creating a unified structure within the intelligence community, the agencies under his control will see his office as a paper tiger. To ensure this does not happen, he needs to take four steps immediately:

BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse - Alamo Ranch
The four of us were celebrating mine and my granddaughter's birthday. We had a ball. Our server Kaitlyn was courteous, professional and attentive. The food and the drinks were excellent. It was a dining experience. BJ's, keep Kaitlyn and keep up the good work.
Great night. Our server Christina was awesome and attentive. Very helpful and knowledgeable with the beers on tap. And of course helped keep the drinks flowing. Food was prepared perfect and tasted delicious. Overall a very nice evening.
Nice, fast, friendly ambiance. Prices are fair, very clean and family friendly
I had my two Best friends Birthday celebrations. The social distance was perfect our server Chris was Awesome! Our food and desert were exceptional all around!
I really enjoyed the BJ experience the food is always great people are friendly. I will continue going back.
We made a reservation online earlier in the day. We arrived 10 minutes early. We only had to wait 5 mins for the table to be cleaned. We were treated promptly and the waiter worked with the bartender to ensure we had drinks we both would be satisfied with. Food ordering was a breeze and meal tasted good.
Everything was perfect
With the craziness of the pandemic, the staff handled everything well and professional. Seating was spaced out, saw lots of cleaning, staff wore masks, yet still were very attentive and friendly.
It was as normal as could be.
It was very easy to secure a reservation through open table. Upon arrival, the table was ready. The food was good, but the highlight would have to be the server. She was excellent both in skill and personality. We will going this route again in the near future.
Great food and great service
The food was awful.
*Easy online reservation for Six
*Great server, very attentive
*Food took long but it was good!
Front greeter cold and unwelcoming
Just so you know this is not a reservation, it is basically a call ahead. They were not even sure why they were still listed on Open Table. Wait wasn’t to bad but still not a RESERVATION.
Very elegant and nice place so comfortable and very good service
Our meal was absolutely delicious and the service was excellent... can’t wait to go back!
Great food and service. Double bone in pork chop the best ever!
To say they could only have a percentage eating inside restaurant, with such low numbers, food was cold on arrival. All 4 meals came lukewarm with my greenbeans being overcooked to begin with so when they took my meal back, tri-tip and shrimp with greenbeans and mashed potatoes, they seemed to warm in a microwave making the greenbeans worse and steak over-done. The shrimp, they didn't even bother to redo or warm up they just brought those back as they were so I didn't eat them. Last few times of pick up orders and this last dine in have been really disappointing overall. Orders wrong and food not as tasty
Great food and drinks
Great food and service! Great dining experience!!
We are going through a transition time and BJ's is transitioning. The service was not up to what we expect. Our waiter explained the restaurant was busier than expected. They wanted us to use our smartphones to access the menu. Our smart phones would not load the menu and the menu is too difficult to read on a smart phone. We were given paper menus which was a blessing. The food lived up to our expectations. Two of us had the whole rack of ribs special and it was great. Thanks for the go box! We will be back to one of our favorite resaurants
Good food and drinks. Server wasn’t so good, but everything is a little off with the reopening efforts. I’ll definitely return.
Food came out quick, was pretty good. Beer was warmer than I prefer.
The food is good with a large selection. The server was not a good representative of what BJ's represents. She was short in her tone, hard to get her attention, and slow to respond.
My steak was under cooked and the broccoli had no flavor whatsoever. The steak had a great flavor and I was OK eating a little undercooked. The drinks were awesome. The waiter was kind and attentive. I loved using the open table app because there was not wait.
Had a really easy time getting in getting seated even though I was late they were very accommodating and nice would do it again in a heartbeat actually been recommending to everybody at this point.
First time out after social distancing restrictions eased!
We went with family for our daughters 3rd birthday while on vacation on a Friday night. We needed a place that had something for everyone and BJ’s fits the criteria.
Really glad we made the reservation because it was a 1.5 hour wait and we were able to just walk right in to our table. Our server was great, our kiddo had a birthday pizookie and all was great.
My bestie just flew in from California so it helped to use open table and surpass everyone. My waiter was adorable and help celebrate my birthday
Had a great waiter that made perfect food recommendations and would check on us at appropriate times, not too many and not too few. That’s important to me.
We love BJ’s, great atmosphere, good beer, and good food!
Was OK. Server was attentive but food did not come out as requested. Not an unpleasant experience but not exceptional either
Good food and service and everything went smoothly!
Worst experience ever.
Our server was wonderful, took great care of us, went over and above!!
Black and Blue Burger -only one small piece of blue cheese.
1st contact with server for drink order was extremely slow.
Location was very difficult to find.
Cool - great place for dining
Customer should be warned that they only have five minutes to respond to a text; as I was in the bathroom I did not get back in five minutes and was told we would have to wait longer. Unacceptable. After I vehemently complained we were finally seated, but it shouldn’t have to come to that. He was Everything else was very good.

STANFORD, Calif. - Sophomore Ashley Morgan won three events, but the day belonged to senior Danielle Ikoma, who captured her first-ever all-around victory while competing in her final home gymnastics meet.
No. 2 Stanford’s 196.825-192.375 victory over Arizona State at Maples Pavilion on Sunday extended its' best-ever start to 15-0 and came during the team's Senior Day and home finale. Stanford won every event and its gymnasts earned eight collegiate career-best marks.
Morgan, the daughter of baseball Hall of Famer Joe Morgan, set or tied career bests in all three events. She scored 9.925's on vault - a Stanford season high in that event -- and floor exercise. She also scored 9.00 on the balance beam. Morgan, tied for the No. 1 ranking in the country on floor, extended her winning streak in that event to seven while scoring 9.925 for the fourth time this season.
“It’s just exciting to go out and do these great routines that (coach) Kristen (Smyth) choreographed for us and have your teammates behind you,” Morgan said. “I don’t have scores on the back of my mind, it’s more of just doing my routine.”
Nicole Pechanec took the honors in the uneven bars with a 9.90, helping Stanford to its second-best team score of the season.
It was a full day for Stanford’s non-seniors, who arrived at Maples Pavilion at 10 a.m. – four hours before the meet – and decorated the locker room with a Las Vegas casino theme, complete with huge playing cards and cash adorned with photos of seniors Ikoma, Shelley Alexander and Allyse Ishino.
This year’s theme was: CaSenior Royale. The reason: Because Stanford hit the jackpot when it landed these three gymnasts.
Asked to describe the locker-room scene, Morgan said: “A lot of gold and glitter.”
Ikoma, for one, was golden. She captured the all-around for her first career all-around victory. A regular in the lineup in various events for three years, Ikoma had never competed in all-around until this season, but now has done so in six of the Cardinal's eight meets. Her score of 39.275 was her best-ever and edged Alexander, who was second at 39.175.
For Ikoma, the victory was an appropriate reward.
“For four years, she tried to get into the lineup,” Smyth said. “She is the toughest, hardest working kid you’ll ever meet.”
Ishino, who owns Stanford's highest all-around score of the season, did not compete because of an ankle sprain suffered last week. But her presence, as well as Alexander’s and Ikoma’s, have been vital to Stanford’s rise, which made Smyth’s heart-felt narration during the post-meet Senior Day video tribute especially emotional.
“The athletes … they inspire you,” Smyth said. “Those three have given so much. Shelley and Dani have exceeded all expectations, and Allyse has always been one those great athletes. They certainly deserve to go out in style.”
They’ll have that chance. The Cardinal now is within reach of its first undefeated dual-meet season if it can win the March 6 quadrangular meet at Cal, involving the Golden Bears, Oregon State and Denver. After that, Stanford heads to the Pac-10 Championships March 19 at UCLA and then NCAA competition.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Japanese automaker Subaru Corp 7270.T said Tuesday it will extend a shutdown of its Indiana assembly plant through May 8 because of declining market demand and supply chain issues related to the coronavirus outbreak.
The company said it plans to resume production on May 11. Many large automakers have said they hope to resume U.S. production on May 4, but some auto executives think the restart may be pushed to mid-May and will begin gradually.

A Christian girl arrested in Pakistan for defaming Islam was granted bail on Friday, a judge said, days after police detained a Muslim cleric on suspicion of planting evidence to frame her.
It was not clear when the girl, Rimsha Masih, would be released.
If bail payment is met, Masih, who is believed to be 14, will be reunited with her family at a location that is being kept secret for security reasons, said Robinson Asghar, an aide to the minister for national harmony.
There were no plans to send Masih abroad, he told Reuters.
Masih was accused by Muslim neighbours of burning Islamic religious texts and arrested, but police recently said a cleric had been taken into custody after witnesses reported he had torn pages from a Koran and planted them in Masih's bag beside burned papers.

Jaya Bachchan Birthday: Times The Veteran Star Proved That She Is Fierce And Opinionated
On Jaya Bachchan’s 73rd birthday, here’s taking a look at some instances where the actress proved that she’s an artist with opinions. From parliament to media, here’s how she stunned everyone with her blunt comebacks!
Jaya Bachchan is one of the most charismatic actresses the Indian film industry has ever witnessed. Right from her debut film Guddi, the veteran star has proved her range as an actress by playing diverse roles. However, the one thing that sets Jaya apart from the other contemporary stars is her real-life bold and fierce nature. Apart from her on-screen elegance, Jaya Bachchan is quite famous for voicing out her true political and social opinions. She also serves as a member of the Parliament representing the Samajwadi Party.
From her blunt replies to journalists to rocking the parliament with epic comebacks, Jaya Bachchan often makes headlines. Albeit, fans love her regal personality and admire her for being an artist with strong opinions. The actress who celebrates her 73rd birthday today (April 9) has been an inspiration to many women in the film industry.
While she has taught everyone to ‘be the change’, today on her 73rd birthday let’s take a look at times when she schooled journalists with her blunt words.
‘Aish’ And Aishwarya Controversy
Jaya Bachchan’s verbal spat with shutterbugs during Subhash Ghai’s birthday party is still fresh among the netizens. In 2013, at Ghai’s birthday bash, the paps gathered around Jaya and her daughter-in-law and actor Aishwarya Rai to click their pictures. However, many of the camera persons were addressing Aishwarya as ‘Aish’ which made Jaya Bachchan furious.
She lashed out at the photographer saying, “What’s Aish? Is she your classmate?”. While Jaya received massive hatred for her behaviour, her son Abhishek explained that paps were calling Aishwarya as ‘Aish’. He said, “Nobody calls her Aish, her name is Aishwarya”.
The ‘Permission’ Banter
Another Jaya Bachchan controversy that became the talk of the internet was when the veteran star got angry at a man who clicked her picture without permission. It was during Hiroo Johar’s birthday party when the shutterbugs were waiting near the exit to click the stars present. When Jaya Bachchan left the party, the paps started clicking her pictures.
However, the actress singled out a man who was taking pictures with his mobile. Jaya was captured on camera scolding the man for clicking pictures without permission.
‘The Conspiracy’ To Defame Film Industry
Jaya Bachchan delivered a remarkable speech in the parliament, talking about the conspiracy to defame Bollywood. For which, the actress was lauded by many Bollywood stars and fans. She boldly hit back at Ravi Kishan and Kangana Ranaut’s statements about the film industry. “People who have made a name in this industry have called it a gutter. I completely disagree and I really disassociate,” she was quoted saying.
‘Not The Spokesperson’ Of The Bachchans
During a press conference, Jaya Bachchan was questioned about Amitabh Bachchan. Addressing the journalist, the actress told him to attend Mr Bachchan’s press conference to get his answer. Jaya added that she’s not a spokesperson for the rest of her family. She answered, “What is my name? You can ask Bachchan sir about him. His press conference is going on elsewhere, you can go there and ask.”
Unapologetic Political Opinion
Being a member of parliament, Jaya Bachchan is among the few Bollywood stars who have strong views on the country’s politics. She never misses a chance to criticize the wrong moves of the government. In one such instance, Bachchan took a dig at Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi calling him a ‘chaos maker. “The responsibility of safeguarders is extremely crucial. Right now, the atmosphere in the country… The one who is responsible for protecting the nation is the one creating chaos,” she was quoted saying.
A Lesson On ‘Mannerism’
After the death of Manish Malhotra’s father, many Bollywood celebrities visited him offering their condolences. The paparazzi too gathered around Malhotra’s residence to click the celebs present there. During this, Jaya Bachchan once again got into a banter with the shutterbugs as she taught them a lesson on mannerism. “You don’t have any manners na? You don’t think about what the situation is. When such an incident (death) will take place in your houses, then I want to see how you react to it,” she lashed out on the reporters.
Calling The Paps Jungli
During the 2014 elections when the Bachchan family stepped out to cast their votes, a mob of shutterbugs was waiting to click the stars. Seeing the media frenzy, Jaya Bacchan slammed the paps calling them “jungli”. Later, Abhishek Bachchan had to calm her down. She was heard saying, “Why are you behaving like junglis (animals)!”
Well, that was all about Jaya Bachchan’s bold and fierce real-life persona which proves that she’s as real as it gets.
If Bachchan’s real-life action is not enough for you, catch her elegant and extraordinary performances in films like Kora Kagaz and Parichay. In the film Kora Kagaz, Jaya Bachchan plays the author-backed role of Archana which became the soul of the story. And going the contrary way in Parichay, the actor takes up an entertaining side as she plays a naive character, Rama. Catch these films exclusively on ZEE5.
