One interesting development that came out of COP27 is that there was movement on making an Article 6 international carbon market a reality. Reuters reported there was meaningful progress but
“… talks to establish carbon offset markets to allow countries to buy credits to partly achieve their climate pledges are set to drag on beyond the COP27 summit and into next year, according to observers and a negotiator in the U.N. talks. It might still be years before countries can offset their emissions with credits based on greenhouse gas-reducing projects elsewhere…”
Even so, there was an important practical development as well according to Carboncredits.com:
“Ghana and Switzerland, along with Vanuatu, have approved at COP27 the first-ever voluntary cooperation under Article 6.2 of the Paris Agreement called the Internationally Transferred Mitigation Outcome (ITMO).”
Under this deal
“… Switzerland will reduce its GHG emissions by using ITMOs. Doing so will help the implementation of projects with development benefits. The project in Ghana will help thousands of rice farmers practice sustainable agriculture to cut methane emissions. These farmers cover about 80% of Ghana’s rice production. Via the ITMO deal, those farmers will also get extra income with carbon revenues for increased resilience and more efficient water use.”
If offset trading between countries becomes a reality, that would likely be a huge boost to the carbon markets – more fully legitimizing them and hopefully increasing the validation/quality of those offsets. Maybe those big investments in offsets will eventually pay off.

Lionel Gougelot (in Vendin-le-Vieil) / Photo credit: Frederick FLORIN / AFP 10:28 am, June 02, 2023In mid-May, 13-year-old Lindsay killed herself because of the bullying she was experiencing in middle school. And despite the death of the teenager, the harassment continues on social networks. A complaint has been filed against Facebook.
A "collective failure". These are the words of the Minister of National Education, Pap Ndiaye, after the suicide of the young Lindsay, a 13-year-old schoolgirl bullied at school. The family of the teenager announced Thursday the filing of four complaints against the management of the college, the Academy of Lille and the police officers in charge of the investigation. The social network Facebook is also targeted, as hate messages continued to rain down after the announcement of Lindsay's tragic disappearance.
Responsibility of social networks
A third-year student in Lindsay's middle school, Océane is also regularly the target of mockery and vexation. But when she saw on social media the hate messages still addressed to her comrade after her suicide, she felt nauseous. "There are messages where they say they were waiting for this, for her to commit suicide, there are others who said they were going to piss on her grave. I find it unacceptable that after his death we can still insult him. His memory is being sullied and that is unacceptable."

Social networks such as Instagram or TikTok are co-responsible for Lindsay's death, according to Pierre de Buisson, the lawyer for the teenager's family. For him, they are unable to moderate or suppress insults and threats. "It's inconceivable that there wouldn't be an implementation of computer bots with extremely simple algorithms that could remove words like 'that whore', 'that bitch,' 'she's finally dead' in seconds," he said.
"We hope for a reaction from justice"
"So there is no control and it is a total violation of the provisions that are imposed on these social networks. Through these complaints, we hope that there will finally be a reaction from the justice system that for the moment has been below everything," adds Pierre de Buisson.
Moreover, Lindsay had foreseen it: "Despite all that has happened, they will always wish me harm," she wrote in a letter announcing her suicide. In this case, four minors are indicted for harassment leading to suicide.

The term "federal" or "federal government" refers to the U.S. federal government, and "state and local" or "state and local government" refers to U.S. state and local governments and the governments of U.S. territories. The following discussion and analysis is intended to help the reader understand our business, financial condition, results of operations, and liquidity and capital resources. You should read this discussion in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes contained elsewhere in this Quarterly Report and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 filed with the SEC on February 26, 2021 (our "Annual Report").
OVERVIEW AND OUTLOOK
We provide professional services and technology-based solutions to government and commercial clients, including management, marketing, technology, and policy consulting and implementation services. We help our clients conceive, develop, implement, and improve solutions that address complex business, natural resource, social, technological, and public safety issues. Our services primarily support clients that operate in four key markets:
Energy, Environment, and Infrastructure;
Health, Education, and Social Programs;
Safety and Security; and
Consumer and Financial Services.
We provide services to our diverse client base that deliver value throughout the entire life cycle of a policy, program, project, or initiative. Our primary services include:
Program Implementation Services;
Digital Services; and
Our clients utilize our services because we combine diverse institutional knowledge and experience with the deep subject matter expertise of our highly educated staff, which we deploy in multi-disciplinary teams. We believe that our domain expertise and the program knowledge developed from our research and analytic, and assessment and advisory engagements further position us to provide a full suite of services.
We report operating results and financial data as a single segment based on the consolidated information used by our chief operating decision-maker in evaluating the financial performance of our business and allocating resources. Our single segment represents our core business - professional services for government and commercial clients. Although we describe our multiple service offerings to clients that operate in four markets to provide a better understanding of the scope and scale of our business, we do not manage our business or allocate our resources based on those service offerings or client markets. Rather, on a project-by-project basis, we assemble the best team from throughout the enterprise to deliver highly customized solutions that are tailored to meet the needs of each client. Notwithstanding the impact of COVID-19 we believe that, in the long-term, demand for our services will continue to grow as government, industry, and other stakeholders seek to address critical long-term societal and natural resource issues due to heightened concerns about clean energy and energy efficiency; health promotion, treatment, and cost control; natural disaster relief and rebuild efforts; and ongoing homeland security threats. In the wake of the major hurricanes (Harvey, Irma, Maria, Laura and Michael) that devastated communities in Texas, Florida, North Carolina, Louisiana, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico, the affected areas remain in various stages of relief and recovery efforts. We believe our prior and current experience with disaster relief and rebuild efforts, including those from Hurricanes Katrina and Rita and Superstorm Sandy, put us in a favorable position to continue to provide recovery assistance, housing, and environmental and infrastructure solutions on behalf of federal departments and agencies, state, territorial and local governments, and regional agencies.
We also see significant opportunity to further leverage our digital and client engagement capabilities across our commercial and government client base. Our future results will depend on the success of our strategy to enhance our client relationships and seek larger engagements spanning all aspects of the program life cycle, as well as completely and successfully integrating strategic acquisitions. We will continue to focus on building scale in vertical and horizontal domain expertise, developing business with both our government and commercial clients, and replicating our business model in selective geographies. In doing so, we will continue to evaluate strategic acquisition opportunities, such as our acquisition of Incentive Technology Group, LLC ("ITG"), that enhance our subject matter knowledge, broaden our service offerings, and/or provide scale in specific geographies.
Although we continue to see favorable long-term market opportunities, there are certain business challenges facing all government service providers. Administrative and legislative actions by the federal government to address changing priorities or in response to the budget deficit could have a negative impact on our business, which may result in a reduction to our revenue and profit and adversely affect cash flow. Similarly, the very nature of opportunities arising out of disaster recovery mean they can involve unusual challenges. Factors such as the overall stress on communities and people affected by disaster recovery situations, political complexities and challenges among involved government agencies, and a higher-than-normal risk of audits and investigations, may result in a reduction to our revenue and profit and adversely affect cash flow. However, we believe we are well positioned to provide a broad range of services in support of initiatives that will continue to be priorities to the federal government, as well as to state and local and international governments and commercial clients.
Impacts of the COVID-19 Pandemic
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization characterized the novel strain of coronavirus disease COVID-19 as a global pandemic. There continues to be significant uncertainty as to the effects of this pandemic on the global economy, which may impact, among other things, our operations, balance sheet, results of operations or cash flows. Adverse events such as health-related concerns about working in our offices, the inability to travel, the potential impact on our employees, clients, subcontractors and other suppliers and business partners, a slow-down in customer decision-making that affects procurement cycles, a reprioritization of client spending, and other matters affecting the general work and business environment have harmed, and could continue to harm, our business and delay the implementation of our business strategy. We cannot fully anticipate all the ways in which the current global health crisis, economic slowdown and financial market conditions could adversely impact our business in the future. The longer the duration of the pandemic, the advent of new strains of the virus and challenges faced in the rollout of vaccines, the more likely it is that it could have an adverse effect on our business, financial position, results of operations and/or cash flows. We are primarily a service business, and our staffing, and that of our subcontractors, has been maintained, substantially on a work from home basis, fortunately with little COVID-19 illness among our staff.
To date we have experienced continuity in the majority of our work for our government clients, which accounted for approximately 71.4 percent of our revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2021. There have been postponements of events and challenges around project work requiring travel and personal contact to perform services under the contracts, but overall, our government clients have continued to require our services. There has also been additional demand from federal agencies such as the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, the Department of Health and Human Services, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency, as well as state and local and international government agencies.
Of the remaining 28.6 percent of our total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2021, the majority was generated from commercial energy markets and commercial marketing services. In commercial energy, where we work primarily for utility clients, we have experienced trends similar to those with our government clients, although some aspects of energy efficiency programs have been put on hold as they involve direct interaction with consumers. The commercial marketing services includes public event management and marketing technology, which was impacted based on the deferral or cancellation of marketing events. Some of our commercial clients perform work in travel-related markets and have been severely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and the restriction upon travel worldwide. As a result, we continue to monitor that business area closely. These elements of commercial marketing services represented less than 9.6 percent of our total Company-wide revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2021.
We are monitoring the evolving situation related to the COVID-19 pandemic and we continue to work with our stakeholders to assess further possible implications to our business and to take actions in an effort to mitigate adverse consequences. To protect employee health and safety while COVID-19 remains a threat, we plan to continue to deliver a majority of our services to clients remotely for the foreseeable future and continue to evaluate our return to office plans. Based on the continued level of new cases and the estimated timing for widespread access to vaccines, we now expect to begin our phased return to in-person operations at ICF office locations no earlier than September 2021. While the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security ("CARES") Act contains a provision that allows federal contractors to seek specified reimbursement for certain employees who are unable to perform their contract requirements due to government restrictions, we believe we have limited claims under the CARES Act, and reimbursements are also subject to limitations and did not extend past December 31, 2020. Additionally, we deferred payment of approximately $20.9 million of employer Social Security taxes during the twelve months ended December 31, 2020. We did not defer any additional Social Security taxes in 2021.
As part of management actions to counter the impact of COVID-19, we have aligned our costs with anticipated revenues. In the U.S. and in our international operations, we had used staff reductions, furloughs, and other temporary wage reduction programs in response to the pandemic during 2020. However, during the three months ended March 31, 2021 we were able to reduce the staff and program reductions as a result of Covid-19. We also previously participated in three international government subsidy programs whose objective is to encourage eligible companies to keep employees on the payroll during the COVID-19 pandemic, which we still minimally participate in two subsidy programs as of March 31, 2021.
Employees and Offices:
We have nearly 7,500 full and part-time employees around the globe, including many recognized as thought leaders in their respective fields. We serve clients globally from our headquarters in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area, our more than 56 regional offices throughout the U.S. and more than 22 offices in key regions outside the U.S., including offices in the United Kingdom, Belgium, China, India and Canada.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
Our discussion of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP"). The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make certain estimates, assumptions, and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses and our application of critical accounting policies, including revenue recognition, impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets, income taxes, and stock-based compensation. If any of these estimates, assumptions or judgments prove to be incorrect, our reported results could be materially affected. Actual results may differ significantly from our estimates under different assumptions or conditions. See "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and "Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" in our Annual Report and "Note 1-Basis of Presentation and Nature of Operations-Recent Accounting Pronouncements" in the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" in this Quarterly Report for further discussions of our significant accounting policies and estimates.
We periodically evaluate our critical accounting policies and estimates based on changes in U.S. GAAP and the current environment that may have an effect on our financial statements.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Recent accounting standards are discussed in "Note 1-Basis of Presentation and Nature of Operations-Recent Accounting Pronouncements" in the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" in this Quarterly Report.
SELECTED KEY METRICS
In order to evaluate operations, we track revenue by key metrics that provide useful information about the nature of our operations. Client markets provide insight into the breadth of our expertise. Client type is an indicator of the diversity of our client base. Revenue by contract mix provides insight in terms of the degree of performance risk that we have assumed. Significant variances in the key metrics are discussed under the revenue section of the results of operations. For further discussion see "Note 7-Revenue Recognition" in the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" in this Quarterly Report.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 The table below sets forth certain items from our unaudited consolidated statements of comprehensive income, the percentage of revenue for such items in the periods provided, and the period-over-period rate of change and percentage of revenue for the periods indicated. Year-to-Year Change Three Months Ended March 31, Three Months Ended Dollars Percentages March 31, 2020 and 2021 (dollars in thousands) 2021 2020 2021 2020 Dollars Percent Revenue $ 378,478 $ 358,238 100.0% 100.0 % $ 20,240 5.6% Direct Costs 232,082 230,616 61.3% 64.4 % 1,466 0.6% Operating Costs and Expenses: Indirect and selling expenses 109,982 103,271 29.1% 28.8 % 6,711 6.5% Depreciation and amortization 5,270 5,179 1.4% 1.4 % 91 1.8% Amortization of intangible assets 3,015 2,853 0.8% 0.8 % 162 5.7% Total Operating Costs and Expenses 118,267 111,303 31.3% 31.0 % 6,964 6.3% Operating Income 28,129 16,319 7.4% 4.6 % 11,810 72.4% Interest expense (2,683 ) (3,525 ) (0.7%) (1.0 %) 842 (23.9%) Other (expense) income (417 ) 190 - - (607 ) (319.5%) Income before Income Taxes 25,029 12,984 6.7% 3.6 % 12,045 92.8% Provision for Income Taxes 6,678 2,372 1.8% 0.7 % 4,306 181.5% Net Income $ 18,351 $ 10,612 4.9% 2.9 % $ 7,739 72.9%
Revenue. Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $378.5 million, compared to $358.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, representing an increase of $20.2 million or 5.6%. The increase in revenue was attributable to an increase in governmental revenue of $30.8 million, or 12.9%, offset by a decrease in commercial revenue of $10.6 million, or 8.9%, compared to the prior year. See "Note 7-Revenue Recognition" in the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements." The changes in government revenue by client type were driven by the increase in federal government revenue primarily health, education and social program clients and energy, environmental and infrastructure clients, both benefitting from an additional month of revenue from the clients of the ITG acquisition for the three months ended March 3, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020, and an increase in international government clients, primarily in the energy, environmental and infrastructure clients, partially offset by a decrease in
state and local government revenue, from our disaster recovery clients. The decrease in our commercial revenue by client market was driven by decreases in our health, education, and social program clients and to our consumer and financial clients, primarily our marketing services clients which have been impacted by COVID-19 when compared to the prior year, partially offset by an increase in revenue from energy, environmental and infrastructure clients. The governmental and commercial revenues as a percent of total revenue were 71% and 29%, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared with 67% and 33%, respectively, for the same period in 2020.
Direct Costs. Direct costs for the three months ended March 31, 2021 were $232.1 million compared to $230.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, an increase of $1.5 million or 0.6%. The increase in direct costs and associated fringe benefits costs was attributable to an increase of $5.4 million in direct labor and associated fringe benefits costs offset by a $3.9 million decrease in subcontractor and other direct costs. Direct labor and fringe benefits for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was 57.4% of direct costs compared to 55.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The increase in direct labor and fringe benefits is primarily due to our federal government work, including an additional month of activity for the acquisition of ITG and energy, environmental and infrastructure clients, partially offset by a decline in direct labor and fringe benefit costs from our state and local government contracts and our commercial clients. Subcontractor and other direct costs for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was 42.6% of direct costs compared to 44.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The decrease in subcontractor and other direct costs is due to the decline in other direct costs of $9.6 million, primarily a decrease in media buys and travel related costs, offset by a $5.7 million increase in subcontractor costs. Direct costs as a percent of revenue was 61.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to 64.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The reduction of direct cost as a percent of revenue in the three months ended March 31, 2021 when compared to the prior year is partially due to the increase in revenue on fixed price contract awards with relatively lower direct costs, the recording of incentive fees on certain contracts that do not have direct costs, and the decline in other direct costs, which generally yield a lower margin. Fringe costs were also proportionately lower year over year with higher utilization of direct staff.
Indirect and selling expenses. Indirect and selling expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $110.0 million compared to $103.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, an increase of $6.7 million or 6.5%. The increase in indirect and selling expenses was primarily due to an increase in indirect labor, associated fringe costs, and other compensation costs of $6.6 million and an increase in general and administrative costs of $0.1 million. The general and administrative costs included an increase in the provision for credit losses of $4.9 million and $0.5 million of expenses related to the termination, abandonment, and impairment of several operating leases associated with our efforts to reduce our operating lease commitments, partially offset by decreases in travel, costs associated with acquisitions and other general administrative costs of $4.8 million. Indirect and selling expenses as a percent of revenue increase to 29.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to 28.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2020.
Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization was $5.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to $5.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The increase in depreciation and amortization is the result of the depreciation of leasehold improvements related to certain operating leases.
Amortization of intangible assets. Amortization of intangible assets for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $3.0 million compared to $2.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The $0.1 million increase was primarily due to an additional month of amortization of the $47.3 million of intangible assets from the ITG acquisition, partially offset by reduced levels of amortization of intangible assets associated with prior acquisitions.
Operating Income. Operating income was $28.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to $16.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, an increase of $11.8 million or 72.4%. The increase in operating income was largely due to favorable gross margin from the increase in revenues on fixed price contract awards with relatively lower direct costs, the recording of incentive fees on certain contracts that do not have direct costs and the decline in other direct costs, which generally yield a lower margin. Fringe costs were also proportionately lower year over year with higher utilization of direct staff. Operating income as a percentage of revenue was 7.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to 4.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2020.
Interest expense. For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, interest expense was $2.7 million and $3.5 million resulting in a decrease of $0.8 million, or 23.9%. The decrease in interest expense was due to lower average debt balances and a lower weighted average interest rate for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2020.
Other (expense) income. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, other expense was $0.4 million compared to other income of $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020.
Provision for Income Taxes. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, income tax expense was $6.7 million compared to $2.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, an increase of $4.3 million. The effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 was 26.7% and 18.3%, respectively. The change in effective tax rate was caused by windfall tax benefits for employee share-based compensation, increases in state tax credits, and the release of reserves for uncertain tax positions partially offset by non-deductible items resulting from executive compensation in the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020.

Rachel was great. Lots of pictures and texts to keep us up to date. She left the house in perfect order, I could not even tell she was there. She took our dog on walks and watched a brand new puppy. Great experience.
Rachel has always had any animals best interest at heart. She has rescued several animals throughout her life, and has many stories to tell. She will no doubt put an animals well being, safety, and happiness before her own, but doing those things for animals makes her so happy.
Dog CPR Cert. & behavior study
I aspire to dedicate my life to animals. I have basic certificates in dog CPR and general first aid for if a dog was choking/drowning. Your dog will always be safe with me! I am also taking a course on dog behavior as well as my prior knowledge throughout the years. I currently walk dogs at the shelter as well as through another company. I have worked with high energy dogs as well as ...
What Rachel would like to know about your dog
I would like to know the dogs temperament and habits. Whether it is a shy or hyper active dog. Anything they do on walks like whether they will try to chase squirrels or pull alot. Whether they are dog friendly or dog selective. Tell me what you know about your dog so I can be prepared and know exactly how to handle them. I love all breeds! Big dogs don't scare me in fact I love them, but would prefer them to be on a pull resistant harness. I would love to know what your dog likes best whether that be belly scratches, a tennis ball, cuddles, etc.

The American Library Association has signed up for battle in the War on Terrorism; unfortunately, it has signed up to fight the Bush Administration and the USA PATRIOT Act. Siding with civil libertarians against public safety is just the ALA's most recent leftist act of political defiance. However, this is their most corrosive stance for the well-being of all Americans, undermining and sabotaging public efforts to stave off terrorism.
Part of the war on terror is learning how America's enemies work. It was found that terrorists like to use computer terminals in our libraries to communicate and do research. Soon after the attack on September 11, 2001, the Houston Chronicle reported, "Visitors and library employees in Delray Beach and Hollywood remember seeing some of the men who are suspected of carrying out the attacks." As a result, "FBI agents have subpoenaed library records in south Florida as they attempted to piece together where the suspects went and whom they communicated with in the months leading up [to] the assaults on the World Trade Center and Pentagon."
With this in mind, the elected representatives are paid to protect us added Section 215 to the USA PATRIOT Act.
Section 215 merely reworks Title V of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978, and states that if the FBI believes terrorist activity is going on, it may make an application to a judge who can grant an order for the production of a patron's records.
The idea is simple; terrorists use things like airliners against us. Now, we make it harder for them to do that by federalizing airline checkers, and putting marshals on planes and beefing up airline security in general. The Feds want to do the same for terrorists that use our libraries.
While the people at the airlines and airports, flight attendants and pilots have chosen not to protest and fight the increased security where they work, the librarians have decided to take a stand against American security in the name of "freedom" - for terrorists. The librarians say they will not break the "sacred" trust between a patron and a librarian. The American Library Association seems to view this bond as literally sacred. In the ALA's policy manual, Section 52.4 states:
"52.4 Confidentiality of Library Records
"The ethical responsibilities of librarians, as well as statutes in most states and the District of Columbia, protect the privacy of library users. Confidentiality extends to 'information sought or received, and materials consulted, borrowed, acquired,' and includes database search records, reference interviews, circulation records, interlibrary loan records, and other personally identifiable uses of library materials, facilities, or services."
The ALA then recommends libraries state that "records shall not be made available to any agency of state, federal, or local government except pursuant to such process, order, or subpoena as may be authorized under the authority of, and pursuant to, federal, state, or local law relating to civil, criminal, or administrative discovery procedures or legislative investigatory power. Resist the issuance or enforcement of any such process, order, or subpoena until such time as a proper showing of good cause has been made in a court of competent jurisdiction."
About 225 libraries across the country have chosen not to cooperate with the American government in their quest to thwart terrorists before they strike again. On April 4, 2003, the New York Times ran an article explaining the position of a number of libraries. For instance, the "patriots" at the Santa Cruz, California, library have chosen to shred all records of their patrons book use on a daily basis. Anne M. Turner, director of the library system explained, "The basic strategy now is to keep as little historical information as possible."
She did not explain that the law which allows the government to know what she knows and everyone else at the library knows about their patrons, limits the sharing of that knowledge and prohibits the government from doing anything that would infringe on an individual's First Amendment right. She didn't explain that when you take a book out of the library, you are giving up any right to privacy. The employees at Santa Cruz know what their people check out but will not allow our government to know the same - the same government which needs that information to protect the folks in Santa Cruz, the librarians and all Americans, from the terrorists who would grant them no rights.
The Patriot Act also requires that no one at the library tell anyone if the FBI has obtained a patron's library record. To get around that, the 10 branches of the Santa Cruz libraries have posted signs giving visitors a: "WARNING: Although the Santa Cruz Library makes every effort to protect your privacy, under the federal USA PATRIOT Act (Public Law 107-56), records of the books and other materials you borrow from this library may be obtained by federal agents. That federal law prohibits library workers from informing you if federal agents have obtained records about you. Questions about this policy should be directed to Attorney General John Ashcroft, Department of Justice, Washington, D.C. 20530." The librarians conveniently forgot to mention under what circumstances the Feds could obtain the requested information and that only "for an investigation to protect against international terrorism or clandestine intelligence activities, provided that such investigation of a United States person is not conducted solely upon the basis of activities protected by the first amendment to the Constitution." It seems the librarians would like you to believe it is the government that is to be feared, and not the terrorists.
Then the folks at Santa Cruz went a step further.
The San Francisco Chronicle reports that "chief librarian Anne Turner found a way to get around the Act's prohibition of telling anyone that the FBI requested records from her library, 'At each board meeting I tell them we have not been served by any (search warrants).'" She cleverly pointed out, "In any months that I don't tell them that, they'll know."
The librarians in northern California are taking their cues from the ALA. On the American Library Association website is a prominent display of lawsuits filed against the Federal government in an effort to thwart the implementation of the USA PATRIOT Act. This documents the role of the Freedom to Read Foundation. The ALA proudly displays the virtues of the Foundation, which serves "to support the right of libraries to include in their collections and make available any work which they may legally acquire" - including pornography.
Unlike our Founding Fathers, the ALA gives First Amendment Rights to "all individuals," presumably including non-citizen terrorists. For the ALA, terrorists have a right to read, research and prepare their activities in the peace and comfort of a library free from interference by the Feds.
The San Francisco Chronicle reported on March 10, 2003, "the leaders of the 64,000-member American Library Association passed a resolution in January calling the Patriot Act provisions 'a present danger to the constitutional rights and privacy rights of library users.'"
ALA president Mitch (Maurice) Freedman spun the Act as a vast right-wing conspiracy. "Looking for terrorists in a public library is just part of an overall strategy to diminish the civil liberties of American citizens," he averred. To Freedman, the slaughter of Americans by terrorists on American soil is simply not sufficient to warrant implementation of the Patriot Act.
This is only the most recent act in the ALA's long history of "extracurricular" activity. In 1953, at the height of the Cold War and America's determination to stand up to totalitarian regimes, the ALA issued their "Freedom to Read" statement, resisting federal calls to loyalty.
In 1981, the librarians adopted a resolution breathlessly condemning the federal government for withdrawing some OSHA pamphlets as "blatant censorship, and unconstitutional, and an unconscionable violate [sic] of the people's right to know and be informed."
In 1984, the ALA passed a resolution condemning the United States for withdrawing from UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization). "The ALA deeply regrets the decision of the President of the United States, on recommendation of the Secretary of State, to issue notice of the intention of the United States to withdraw from membership in UNESCO effective December 31, 1984."
The United States according to the Heritage Foundation, withdrew its support from UNESCO, "to protest the organization's growing politicization and anti-Western bias, rampant budgetary mismanagement, and advocacy of policies that undermine freedom of the press and free markets. A particularly divisive issue was UNESCO's advocacy of a "new world information order" (NWIO) to counter an alleged pro-Western bias in global news agencies; specifically, the organization sought the licensing of journalists, the creation of an international code of press ethics, and increasing government control over the media." The librarians on the other hand, believe they are "qualified to evaluate the UNESCO program," and "affirmed on December 16, 1983, that continued U.S. membership in UNESCO is in the national interest."
The ALA does oppose "militarism," though. Section 52.5.3 of the ALA's policy manual requires libraries to have "a full range of alternatives for those young persons who are facing the prospect of conscription."
The ALA also believes in overriding pesky federal authorities In 1993, the ALA adopted the Godort (Government Documents Round Table) Resolution regarding the classification of U.S. government information. The ALA urged then-president Clinton:
reduce drastically the scope of secrecy within the Federal government,
review all forms of security classification in the agencies of the government,
institute a systematic declassification system to ensure future public access, and
prohibit restrictions on public use of government information solely on the basis that it is sensitive but unclassified. . . .
The ALA further demanded that the government "establish mechanisms to ensure outside independent review of agency classification decisions." The ALA it appears is demanding the overseeing of the governmental decision making process when it comes to classified materials.
ALA librarians are not the quiet, unassuming stereotypes you see on TV and in the movies. For example, in 1998, the ALA voiced their opposition to the bombing of Iraq. The Social Responsibilities Round Table (SRRT) is the self-proclaimed "conscience of the ALA." The SRRT "is a unit within the American Library Association. It works to make ALA more democratic and to establish progressive priorities not only for the Association, but also for the entire profession. Concern for human and economic rights was an important element in the founding of SRRT and remains an urgent concern today. SRRT believes that libraries and librarians must recognize and help solve social problems and inequities in order to carry out their mandate to work for the common good and bolster democracy." ALA executive director Mary Ghikas stated "The Action Council of the Social Responsibilities Round Table of the American Library Association voices its opposition to the planned US-led attacks on the nation of Iraq." The librarians seemed unconcerned that the Iraqi government under Saddam Hussein had made inspections of Iraqi weapons of mass destruction sites impossible, or that Iraq had been obligated t9o do so under the cease-fire agreement following the first Gulf War.
In June of 2002, the ALA under the auspices of their SRRT section, took sides in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, condemning Israel. The ALA demanded that the United States and other nations do all they can to "prevent further destruction of libraries and cultural resources" in Palestinian territories by Israel. The December 2002 SRRT newsletter condemned, "the destruction of the facilities in the universities and colleges of the West Bank." When confronted with the fact that any destruction at the time took place during a war (the so-called intifada by the Palestinians against Israel) the ALA's President Mitch Freedman responded by saying, "ALA policy does not differentiate between deliberate or unintentional destruction. Whether it is intentional or unintentional, justified or unjustified, the destruction of libraries, library collections, and property [is deplored by the ALA]." No condemnation of terrorists was made by the ALA, just a condemnation of Israel's defensive measures. To underscore his amti-Israeli views, President Freedman screened a documentary about Noam Chomsky and a speech by Amy Goodman, the far-left hostess of the Democracy Now radio show, at this January's Midwinter meeting in Philadelphia.
On March 5, 2003, the ALA argued before the Supreme Court of the United States that the Children's Internet Protection Act (CIPA) was a very bad idea. So far, as of March 2003, our librarians have spent 1.7 million dollars in fighting the implementation of CIPA in the courts. CIPA mere states that libraries should filter internet access to eliminate " visual depictions that are obscene, contain child pornography or are harmful to minors." The librarians feel that shielding children from obscenity is a breach of their commitment to our country's youth. How many parents are aware that our librarians, instead of wanting to protect our children from obscenity, choose to fight against that protection?
The ALA's left-wing agenda presents itself more clearly on its website. The site provides links to "Alternative Resources on the U.S. 'War Against Terrorism.'" These links include Antiwar.com, MichaelMoore.com, StopTheWar.com, WarResistersLeague.com, and to a series of petitions opposing America's response to terrorism and denouncing the real threat to liberty: Jerry Falwell.
Browsing the SRRT website from within ALA's, you are directed to links that explore "Cuban Library tours and Conferences." To show their solidarity, "this year's Libraries tour ... (will visit) with librarians, staff and Library Directors from public, academic, special and school libraries. Speak with the staff and experience what their working situations are like... find out for yourself the real Cuba." No mention of the possibility that Cubans, in Cuba have much to fear if they were to tell any outsider about "the real Cuba." Other attractions include "optional opportunities for music, dance and theatre"; evidently the tour of the island's gulags is not on the agenda, although such a stop would give these timid librarians an unforgettable glimpse of "the real Cuba."
There are also links to "Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual & Transgendered Round Table," among others, most notably are links all beginning with the word ""progressive."
In the war against Iraq, the librarians were beside themselves, "The American Library Association grieves for and deplores the catastrophic losses to Iraq's cultural heritage that have already occurred with the destruction of the National Library Archives and the Islamic library. Cultural heritage is as important as oil. Libraries are a cornerstone of democracy and are vital resources in the re-establishment of a civil society. We urge the administration to ensure that in the future the necessary resources will be made available to prevent further catastrophes," said ALA President Maurice J. (Mitch) Freedman.
The ALA declared on their website, "The National Library and Archives of Iraq and the principal Islamic library were destroyed last week by looters and arsonists. Reports indicated that the libraries were unguarded at the time of their destruction." For the librarians, not risking American lives to protect Iraq's libraries during the war was unconscionable.
All this has taken place despite the ALA's tax-exempt 501(c)3 status.
One wonders if the ALA's corporate sponsors and members are fully aware of the goings on at the Association's annual meetings. The ALA website describes the 2002 Annual Conference's "strong lineup of speakers. At the Opening General Session, art critic Robert Hughes delivered a scathing denunciation of the 'patriotic correctness' unleashed in the United States by the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, and a call to librarians to 'guard your liberties!' Said Hughes: "To confine the contents of a library in any way is to commit a kind of vandalism."
Recent Academy Award winner and political activist and author Michael Moore "thanked librarians for rescuing his latest book, Stupid White Men (Harper Collins), which the publisher had slated for cancellation in the face of the patriotic zeal set off by September 11. An onslaught of e-mails from members of the library profession convinced the publisher to release it, and the book went on to top the bestseller lists," also from the ALA website, "Moore appeared in support of incoming ALA President Maurice Freedman's Campaign for America's Librarians presidential initiative and the work under way by his Special Presidential Task Force on Better Salaries and Pay Equity for All Library Workers."
Another prominently placed link and excerpt on the ALA's website is entitled, "FBI in Your Library," and it quotes a public service announcement by the Ad Council stating, "A man approaches a librarian to ask for help finding a text. 'These books are no longer available,' she replies, in a pinched, Peter Lorre-like voice. 'May I have your name please?' A couple of suited thugs take the library patron away." The ad is scheduled to run on Independence Day, July 4, 2003, and is intended to expose the ominous ramifications inherent in a law, which by definition targets only terrorists. The ALA link then takes you to an article in the "Village Voice" from September 2002, entitled, "Things we lost in the fire," depicting America's transformation into a fascist state. However the article does correctly state that "there aren't yet any goons stalking the stacks," nevertheless, Emily Sheketoff, executive director of the Washington office of the American Library Association adds, "But under the USA Patriot Act, law enforcement officials can force librarians (and booksellers) to hand over records of who checked out what books, and what Web sites they visited." In other words, the ALA is drawing its swords against windmills, not reality. Then again, the ALA spokesperson views the FBI as "goons," but declines to use such euphemisms for the terrorists who are in fact "stalking the stacks" in our libraries.
Vermont congressman Bernie Sanders is according to his own biography, "a Socialist elected as an independent since 1990 but treated as a Democrat in the House." Sanders has introduced a bill, known as the Freedom to Read Protection Act, which would exempt libraries and booksellers from Section 215 of the Patriot Act. The ALA heartily endorses the new bill which was introduced on March 6, 2003.
The hatred, the mistrust by some Americans for our government has led some of the "progressives," to behave in a manner that undermines America's Homeland Security. While the ALA ostensibly wants to protect the First Amendment rights of all people to read what they want, they themselves seem to have not read the USA PATRIOT Act and its guarantees to protect First Amendment Rights.
The ALA under the guise of protecting freedom jeopardizes all of our freedoms, even our lives.

Wärtsilä and Vantaa Energy have signed a collaboration agreement for the pre-engineering and development of a Vantaa Energy Power-to-Gas (P2G) project.
The plant, which is set to open in 2025, will be the largest in Finland and the first to manufacture carbon-neutral, synthetic methane on a commercial scale. It will have a fuel capacity of 10 MW. Synthetic methane is created by capturing carbon dioxide and producing hydrogen with renewable energy. The parties signed a collaboration agreement in May 2020 to conduct a concept study on the economics of the Power-to-Gas plant in conjunction with the Vantaa Energy waste-to-energy project. The choice to continue the research is based on the outcome, which supports the study’s ongoing planning and development.
The EU has set an unified goal of achieving climate neutrality by 2050, and has recently increased its emissions reduction target to 55% by 2030. Finland intends to achieve carbon neutrality by 2035. The plant will be a critical milestone in Vantaa Energy’s goal of becoming fossil-free by 2026. Using adaptable technologies to phase out the usage of fossil fuels is a critical enabler for carbon-neutral Vantaa Energy in 2030. The Power-to-Gas plant will enable Vantaa Energy to begin using renewable electricity to reduce CO2 emissions in district heating, other gas-consuming applications, and transportation. The initiative demonstrates the sector linkage of heat, energy, and transportation, which opens up entirely new business potential for Vantaa Energy.
Wärtsilä will lead the pre-engineering phase of the project. Once completed, the project will produce synthetic methane from renewable electricity sources by extracting hydrogen from water, as well as extract CO2 out of emissions from an existing waste to energy plant. The resultant methane will be sufficient for use in up to 200 trucks per day, and replace conventional, fossil natural gas in district heating during heating peaks in winter.
“The unique and excellent location of the plant has many advantages. We have access to clean water and renewable electricity using wind energy, and the waste heat produced in the process can be utilised for district heating. The location also enables connections between the electricity, heating, and transport sectors. The energy sector plays a significant role in climate change mitigation, and we are in the vanguard of contributing to a speedy transition to clean energy production.”Jukka Toivonen, CEO, Vantaa Energy.
“The clock is ticking and we need to accelerate the move towards decarbonisation before it’s too late. This project showcases our vision of working towards a 100% renewable energy future, in which sector coupling and future fuels will play a decisive role. By cooperating with Vantaa Energy in this state-of-the-art project with us leading the pre-engineering, we are developing our Power-to-X technology and integration competences to meet future market needs. Collaboration with customers and other stakeholders supports our vision.”Saara Kujala, General Manager, Business Development, Wärtsilä Energy.
Wärtsilä’s pre-engineering work is expected to be completed by the end of 2022, and the project is scheduled for completion in early 2025.

Antoine-Labelle RCM to provide the region with a new shared economic development vision to promote growth
Apr 28, 2017, 15:30 ET
Government of Canada provides financial assistance for the Laurentides organization
MONT-LAURIER, QC, April 28, 2017 /CNW Telbec/ - Canada Economic Development for Quebec Regions (CED)
Communities need to build on innovation to diversify themselves strategically and develop lasting regional competitive advantages. As such, support for community transition and diversification is a priority for the Government of Canada.
Acting on behalf of the Honourable Navdeep Bains, Minister of Innovation, Science and Economic Development and Minister responsible for CED, David Graham, Member of Parliament for Laurentides–Labelle, announced that the Antoine-Labelle regional county municipality (RCM) has been granted $50,525 in financial assistance, in the form of a non-repayable contribution, to develop a strategic plan based on the six priority issues identified by local stakeholders in order to consolidate and create jobs in the area.
Created in 1983, the Antoine-Labelle RCM (website in French only) is made up of 17 municipalities and a vast unincorporated area and administers local services for its residents, overseeing the development of the region's economic potential. The funding granted through CED's Quebec Economic Development Program (QEDP) will ultimately help in the development of existing businesses, the start-up of new ones, the implementation of innovative practices and investment in the region.
CED is one of six regional development agencies under the responsibility of the Honourable Navdeep Bains, Minister of Innovation, Science and Economic Development.
"I am pleased about the federal partnership for the economic development of the Antoine-Labelle RCM. It makes me very proud. The assistance from Canada Economic Development that was announced today is part of a new Government of Canada regional economic development partnership vision for our region. Together, we can make an impact on the prosperity of the Hautes-Laurentides, protect and create jobs, keep and attract new families and improve quality of life."
David Graham, Member of Parliament for Laurentides–Labelle
"As the Minister of Innovation, Science and Economic Development, I want to help businesses grow, innovate and export so that they can create good-quality jobs and wealth for Canadians. That is why we support regional economic development partners like the Antoine-Labelle RCM."
The Honourable Navdeep Bains, Minister responsible for CED
"The Antoine-Labelle RCM is proud to receive support from Canada Economic Development for the development of a strategic plan for the economic growth of the Antoine-Labelle RCM. We thank the Government of Canada for the financial support it has granted to help us achieve our strategic objectives of wealth and job creation."

On Monday, hundreds of General Dynamics Information Technology (GDIT) workers who have been organizing to gain a voice in their workplace with CWA rallied outside their call center in Hattiesburg, Miss., against poverty level wages, calling for fair pay and a union. They were joined by State Representative Jeramey Anderson, Hattiesburg City Councilor Deborah Delgado, and other local elected officials, as well as members of CWA Local 3509.
On the same day, Georgetown University's Kalmanovitz Initiative for Labor and the Working Poor released a new report showing that better pay at the Hattiesburg call center would inject millions of dollars into the local economy and help create hundreds of new jobs in the region.
About 2,000 federally contracted customer service professionals work at the Hattiesburg call center. Most handle inquiries from Americans across the country about Medicare and the Affordable Care Act's Federal Insurance Marketplace. Despite the vital services they provide helping Americans get access to health care, most GDIT customer service professionals in Hattiesburg make only $10.35 per hour.
"We deserve better than the poverty wages we are paid. Every day it's a choice about what types of sacrifices we have to make," said Anna Flemmings, a Tier 1 Medicare agent at the call center. "And it breaks my heart to constantly have to tell my son 'no' when he asks for something because we can't afford anything but the bare necessities."
Due to these poverty level wages, many employees at the call center are forced to rely on public assistance and still struggle to scrape by.
"No one working full-time providing essential services to Americans and doing complex and critical work for a federal contractor should be living in poverty," said Tracy Wolverton, a trainer at the call center. "Higher pay at the Hattiesburg call center would also mean more funding for our schools, more spending at local businesses, and economic growth in our communities."
Earlier this month, GDIT announced that it is selling its call center operations, including its Hattiesburg call center, to Maximus, Inc. Maximus has informed the Hattiesburg call center workers that it intends to continue paying them the same poverty level wages as GDIT.
On Monday, hundreds of General Dynamics Information Technology (GDIT) workers who have been organizing to gain a voice in their workplace with CWA rallied outside their call center in Hattiesburg, Miss., against poverty level wages, calling for fair pay and a union.


LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- Newly released surveillance videos taken inside Los Angeles County jails show violent use-of-force toward inmates.
The videos were unsealed by a federal judge as part of a long running lawsuit filed by the American Civil Liberties Union against the L.A. County Sheriff's Department.
"They're not following their own policies, and they're really putting people are at risk of serious injury, or even death with some of these techniques they're using," said Corene Kendrick, deputy director of the ACLU's National Prison Project.
One incident shows an inmate on the ground and deputies applying what is known as the WRAP.
In an interview earlier this year, sheriff's Cmdr. Larry Alva described the WRAP as a restraint device for "short transportation following a use-of-force incident when somebody is not complying."
Kendrick described the restraint as something similar to a straitjacket.
In this case, the inmate is on the ground bleeding for several minutes. The ACLU says deputies also put on what is called a spit mask.
"Oftentimes over the person's face because they say, 'Well, the person might spit at the officers.' In this case, the man wasn't spitting. He was bleeding profusely because he had been struck in the head," Kendrick said about the inmate in the video.
The department sent out a statement saying the videos represent just six of the millions of interactions that occurred over a two and a half year period, between October 2019 and July 2022. They say there have been policy changes since that time.
"The incidents depicted in these six videos do not reflect the measures now in place to hold deputies accountable when they violate the Department's stringent use of force policies. Every one of the uses of force incidents depicted in these videos took place during a prior sheriff's administration," the statement said.
The statement adds that with the policy changes, force incidents dropped 17% in 2022 and dropped another 20% so far this year. The ACLU says it sometimes takes years to get videos released, so they don't know if those numbers are accurate.
"The department keeps saying that everything is much better now under the new sheriff, but we haven't seen that because they haven't provided those videos to the courts' experts or to us," Kendrick said.

Due to Cellucor’s Cor-Performance Whey winning last year’s Protein Wars, and claiming that People’s Protein title. We went ahead and purchased a few tubs of the supplement to put together a review of what we believe to be the best of the protein’s original six flavors. For those that know the product, it’s first wave selection does feature one taste that stands out above the rest. While cinnamon swirl and molten chocolate do sound attractive, peanut butter marshmallow is the one that screams delicious. So it is no surprise that after trying almost all of Cor-Whey’s six options it launched with, we decided to review the one of a kind.
Most of the time peanut butter variants pair themselves with either chocolate, or go it alone in a solo peanut butter performance. Cellucor’s effort as it’s title states, mixes it up with marshmallow, which does give a good indication of what is involved. That being said when you actually give it a taste, it proves to be just, if not more unique than it’s extremely seductive name. The peanut butter is of course the dominating flavor of the two in the taste, something you will notice right from the first sniff. As for the marshmallow it is very faint, but definitely noticeable. The best way to describe the experience, is peanut butter with a delicate sprinkle of sugary marshmallow. The dominating flavor does stay strong right from sip to swallow, the marshmallow however appears almost like a sweetener. Adding a light lolly highlight as the shake goes down, resulting in a taste kind of like a sugar infused peanut butter. We will point out that you may need to lower your usual amount of water or whatever you choose to mix your protein powder with. As we found Cor-Whey’s full peanut butter marshmallow flavor lost it’s presence quite easily when not mixed with substantially less water.
The main reason we find it quite hard to describe the one of a kind Cellucor taste is purely because we don’t have anything to compare it to. We could probably go on for a while trying to convert our experience to words. However you really need to try it for yourself to know what we are talking about. Lolly like, marshmallow sweetened, peanut bubblegum, no matter how we explain it. The idea we are trying to get across is that it is different, and not like anything else you have tried. For those wondering if we will be giving any of Cor-Whey’s other flavors a go, be on the look out for a red velvet review in the coming weeks. As we recently grabbed a tub of the exclusive from Bodybuilding.com the day after it launched.

A payment dispute at an Arkansas McDonald’s Tuesday morning left a man recovering from a gunshot wound, police said.
The customer placed an order at the drive-thru, police said, and entered the Little Rock restaurant around 3:30 a.m. after saying he didn’t get the change after paying, KARK reported.
A worker and the client argued before another worker escorted the client outside, according to THV.
The client told police he and the worker started fighting before the worker pulled out a gun and shot him in the right index finger, The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reported.
When police arrived, they found a bullet hole in the restaurant’s front window along with a shell casing, THV reported.
The client was taken to a hospital where he was treated for his injuries, according to KARK.
The restaurant manager told police the worker was sent home “because he shot someone,” the Democrat Gazette reported.
No arrests have been made, according to KARK.
The incident is under investigation.

I am starting reloading for .45 ACP. I have some Berry's plated .45 projectiles on the way. I think I have settled on using W-231 powder. Hodgdon lists 4.2-5.3 grains as the load range for this powder and bullet. I have read elsewhere that some guys like 5.5 grains, but this is over max listed. Obviously I will work the load up, but was wondering what you guys use. Thanks for any and all suggestions. By the way I love reading all the reloading section of GT. Very informative. I don't post much but read lots.

Where you get so lost in the scene that you cease to type words, and instead write down the movie that’s happening in your head? If someone tries to talk to you, you can’t hear them, because you’re hearing whatever is going on in that movie? You’re no longer playing God, directing your characters, but just a medium through which they tell their own stories?
This happened to me yesterday, and it is perhaps the most magical moment that can happen as a writer.
It doesn’t happen all the time: sometimes I have to drag the words out of myself to create a horrid three sentence paragraph that can take an hour to write. There’s the self discipline needed to write every day, and that’s something I learned during April’s Camp NaNo. Writing isn’t always easy: that’s the sad truth. It isn’t always fun, but then there are these special, rare moments.
Last night, there was this moment where I finished the chapter, ending at 1500 words more than I had expected or even outlined: they just appeared. It was like stumbling across this present that maybe wasn’t meant for me, but I was given it anyway. Sometimes I think, “This isn’t my story. There is no way I could create this. This character broke through the crack in space and time and is whispering in my ear.” But then, there is no crack in space and time (that’s what they tell us, anyway. Lies, I say), and what I type is straight from my head.
It’s this realization that makes everything worth it. The wanting to throw my laptop out the window because I’ve stared at a blinking cursor for the last hour and a half, the procrastinating on tumblr and chat rooms, complaining with other writers but doing nothing to fix it, watching an entire tv series and kicking myself because how can I create something that will cause thousands of people to be such rapid and incredible fans. It all goes away when I write those 2K words, the ones that change the direction of the entire novel, or a character that reveals their truth self in just a few paragraphs.
That’s why I keep writing, no matter how discouraged or frustrated I get: those magical moments. The desire to see something more, because every day I surprise myself with what comes out, and I want to see what else is tucked away.

But yes, you read it right, a one day return trip to the US? Why ? To use a Covid voucher of course!
Genesis of the itinerary
The past period has been one of great disruption to the airline industry. Cancellations, border closures, all means are good (and especially the most demagogic) to stop this cursed virus!
As a result, the plans we had with Kristof in July 2021 had to be cancelled, and these plans included intra-US segments booked on AA through the American Express agency.
And that’s been our problem… As the industry recovers, this recovery is quite heterogeneous and each geographic area will recover at a different pace. The US will recover faster than others… And their airlines will revert to less flexible ticketing options sooner.
So, no voucher, but an open ticket to be rebooked at a later date… Except that the IATA validity of the ticket remains one year!
We had to rebook our domestic flight (of considerable value) before May 17, 2022. This was done, and to close the loop, we add a few bonus tickets in Y and W one-way, and everything is ok.
Here is the itinerary finally followed:

The board for the new flood-control zone district today approved a countywide property tax of 10 cents per $1,000 of assessed value starting next year to pay for flood projects.
The Board of Supervisors, made up of the seven Pierce County Council members, adopted the tax by a vote of 5 to 2. Board members Dan Roach and Dick Muri voted no.
Board and council chairwoman Joyce McDonald said the tax is “just fair and right” because all property owners in Pierce County will pay for flood control, not just those in unincorporated areas.
“It’s the right thing to do and it’s the right time to do it” before a flood disaster happens, said McDonald, R-Puyallup.
Roach, R-Bonney Lake, contended money for flood control could come from the surface water management and general funds without a new tax.
Roach said the amount of the 10-cent tax is “completely arbitrary.” He called it “very, very irresponsible” to go forward with the tax increase without a list of budget and list of projects.
“I think it’s a big mistake,” Roach said.
Board member Roger Bush said the county is under a “grave threat” of flooding with miles of uncertified levies.
“We’ve seen it get close to total disaster in recent flood years,” said Bush, R-Frederickson. “We cannot take the risk any longer.”
He cautioned the tax doesn’t guarantee there won’t be a flood disaster because it will take years to rebuild levees.
“Not taking action is an even greater disaster in my view,” Bush said. “There are times when it makes sense to raise money for the common good. This is one of those times.”
The County Council voted in April to create a countywide taxing district to pay for flood control.
The flood district’s advisory committee last month recommended a tax of 10 cents per $1,000 of assessed property value. The average homeowner would pay around $25 per year.
At 10 cents per $1,000 of assessed valuation, the tax would provide about $6.89 million a year for flood projects – from rebuilding levees to buying up flood-prone properties.
Property owners countywide will see the new tax on their property tax bills next year.
Brian Ziegler, public works and utilities director, said the county will start work on projects in 2013 from the new tax revenue. The advisory committee will work on a list of projects in the first quarter of next year that it will recommend to the supervisors.
The County Council created the flood control district in April by a vote of 5-2. Council members Stan Flemming, R-University Place, and Roach voted no.
It recommended limiting the tax to 10 cents per $1,000 of assessed valued. Under state law, the district could collect up to 50 cents per $1,000 of assessed valuation.
The council also advised that 10 percent of the tax money raised go back to cities and unincorporated areas for their stormwater and flood projects through the so-called opportunity fund.
After today’s meeting, Muri said he voted no because his constituents oppose the tax. He said residents of Steilacoom, DuPont and Lakewood don’t want or need the 10-percent opportunity fund for local flood and stormwater projects. Muri, R-Steilacoom, also cited the inability to levy a variable tax based on how much a an area would benefit.
Flemming said the County Council’s reduction in the surface water management fee and fund Tuesday cut potential duplication in taxes. About $2.5 million from the surface water management annually pays for flood control.
“I believe that we are now moving in the right direction,” Flemming said.
Board member Rick Talbert, D-Tacoma, disagreed with Roach’s assertion the general fund can pay for flood control.
“This is a $300 (million) to $400 million problem at least, ” Talbert said. “It’s not something we can tackle in the general fund.”
“The reality is we have a huge problem,” Talbert said.
McDonald said county residents as a whole will benefit by flood projects protecting sewage treatment plants along the Puyallup River.
“I think it’s our responsibility to work for the good of the county as a whole,” McDonald said. If a flood disaster strikes in the future, McDonald said the board members don’t want to be left asking, “Wow, why didn’t we do something back then?”
“I feel very comfortable that this is absolutely the right thing to do for all of the people of Pierce County,” McDonald said.
Board member Tim Farrell, D-Tacoma, said council members are trying to make surface water management and the flood district work hand in hand to solve flooding problems.
“I think that this proposal is good,” Farrell said of the tax. “It is certainly far from perfect.”
Some nonflood-prone communities, such as Gig Harbor and Milton, have opposed a tax, saying they would get little or no benefit and shouldn’t have to pay the same as cities in the Puyallup River Valley.
But flood-district supporters have said all county taxpayers have a stake in protecting at-risk public infrastructure such a Interstate 5 and the Port of Tacoma.
Adopting the flood-control tax required at least five yes votes. In July, the seven council members acting as the Board of Supervisors voted to require a supermajority of five votes to approve the tax, instead of simple majority of four.
Officials say a major flood could do up to $725 million in damage, shutting down I-5 and other roadways, disrupting the Port of Tacoma and damaging sewage treatment plants along the Puyallup River. County residents were reminded of that risk between 2006 and 2009, when the county sustained three of the 15 largest floods of the last 100 years.


After a January 2023 Moneyval report citing “needs improvement” landed on desks in Monaco, the Principality has been making big strides to heighten standards in the fights against money laundering and related crimes.
It is called Bill No.1.077 and is Monaco’s 130-point draft bill to ensure that the Principality is internationally accepted as adhering to the best standards in the fight against money-laundering, terrorism financing and funding of illegal weapons.
On 29th June, the National Council voted unanimously in favour of the bill, which represents the first part of several other forms of legislation that will help to make the Monegasque system as watertight as possible against these types of crimes.
Established and reviewed in a rather short timeframe, the bill is a response to the Moneyval Committee’s January 2023 recommendations and shows the continued commitment the Principality has on this issue.
One of the most significant provisions on Bill No. 1.077 is the creation of an independent administrative authority to be called the Monegasque Financial Security Authority. This will replace the current entity, Financial Circuits Information and Control Service (SICCFIN), which has been on the case thus far.
This new organisation will be “endowed with appropriate resources and means, [and] will have three branches: financial intelligence, investigations, and the imposition of sanctions”.
More bills will be coming up for a vote in the National Council in the not-too-distant future, including Bill No. 1.078. This is a refined extension of the current measures to stop any financing of terrorists and illegal weapons within Monaco’s borders.

PSG will be looking to follow up their 3-0 victory against AC Milan in the Champions League with another positive result on Sunday lunchtime as they travel to the Stade Francis Le Blé to face Brest. A win will take Les Parisiens one point behind Nice at the top of the table.
L’Équipe reports that Luis Enrique is set to make some changes from his side’s successful outing in European competition during midweek. The most notable change being the first start of the season for French right back Nordi Mukiele. This will see Achraf Hakimi switch flanks to left back in replacement of Lucas Hernández.
Danilo Pereira getting a start will also spell change in central defence with Marquinhos unavailable due to injury. The Brazilian’s absence should see Kylian Mbappé captain the side and be partnered in attack by Gonçalo Ramos in place of Randal Kolo Muani. The midfield duo of Manuel Ugarté and Warren Zaïre-Emery should keep their starting berths. However, Vitinha is expected to drop to the bench with Bradley Barcola handed a start.
PSG likely XI vs Brest:
Gianluigi Donnarumma – Nordi Mukiele, Danilo Pereira, Milan Škriniar, Achraf Hakimi – Ousmane Dembélé, Manuel Ugarté, Warren Zaïre-Emery, Bradley Barcola – Kylian Mbappé, Gonçalo Ramos

Factor 55 FlatLink XTV Shackle w/D-ring for UTV's
Foldable Shackle/D-ring mount for UTV and ATV winch lines
The FlatLink XTV allows UTV and ATV winch owners to replace the conventional winch hook with a safer and stronger shackle/D-Ring. Winch hooks can cut and fray recovery straps and often allow strap ends to escape during typical loose/tight cycles of a winching recovery. Screw pin shackles do not allow strap loops to escape due to the secure screw pin attachment. The FlatLink XTV does not require splicing and is compatible with steel cables or synthetic ropes up to 5/16 inches. The cable eye is retained in the FlatLink XTV by a 7/16 inch diameter titanium double shear pin and internal snap ring. It is easily installed in minutes. The EPDM Rubber Guards protects alloy fairleads and is securely attached to the FlatLink XTV with 4 barbed tips.
The FlatLink XTV stows neatly against either roller or Hawse type fairleads and is designed to be used with common standard ½ – 5/8 inch shackles. MADE IN THE USA, the FlatLink XTV is constructed of 6000 series billet aluminum and 6Al-4V titanium and is anodized/powder coated in 5 different colors. The FlatLink XTV has a max load rating of 8000 pounds and an ultimate failure of 28,000+ pounds.
