Is Trump About to Start a Trade War?Breaking News
tags: Trade, Trump, Trade War, Tariffs
The announcement that President Trump’s top economic adviser, Gary D. Cohn, plans to resign after apparently losing a battle over raising tariffs ratchets up concern that the White House is turning sharply toward protectionism. The deepest fear is that the planned steel and aluminum tariffs will echo the mistake of the infamous Smoot-Hawley tariffs of 1930, which provoked a global trade war and helped fuel the Great Depression.
The alarmists are getting a bit ahead of the story, however. Periods of deglobalization — when nations begin shuttering their borders to flows of trade, money and people — tended to be slow processes, not sudden events. They started with tectonic shifts — global wars and crises — not minor import levies. And they unfolded over decades, not years. The last era of deglobalization actually began when countries turned inward after World War I, more than a decade before Smoot-Hawley and the Great Depression.

Andy Gotts is a photographer from London. He is most noted for his black and white portraits of Hollywood actors. Andy is noted for his magnum opus ‘Degrees’. This was a coffee table book inspired by the game, the Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon. He wrote to 300 actors asking to take their pictures, and received permission from one, Joss Ackland. Ackland then suggested that Gotts photograph Greta Scacchi, with whom he had appeared in the film White Mischief. Gotts proceeded from there, asking each actor to refer him to one or more friends or colleagues.
Each actor Gotts photographed then suggested a best friend, or someone they really admired, as the next person. This gave a chain of ‘who knows who’. Dustin Hoffman suggested Brad Pitt, Brad suggested George Clooney, George suggested Julia Roberts, Julia suggested Susan Sarandon, Susan suggested Paul Newman, Paul suggested…etc. Two weeks before he died Sir Alan Bates wrote a text for Gotts’ Degrees – it was his last penned work – and is included as a foreword. Sir Alan had suggested Pierce Brosnan as his ‘connection’, and Pierce has written a tribute to him. As an afterword, Kevin Bacon himself plays the ‘six degrees’ game, linking himself back to Sir Alan Bates, by just using the actors photographed for the book.

Winner of "Best Documentary" ("meilleur film documentaire") at the 2009 César Awards.
A reflection on art, life and the movies, THE BEACHES OF AGNES is a magnificent film from the great Agnes Varda, director of CLEO FROM 5 TO 7, a richly cinematic self portrait that touches on everything from the feminist movement and the Black Panthers to the films of husband Jacques Demy (THE UMBRELLAS OF CHERBOURG) and the birth of the French New Wave.
Cast & Crew
Reviews(see the best reviews)
Truly enjoyable, and eccentric, reminiscence of times past and loves lost. Varda is enjoying herself in this tribute to her life in the movies and to her relationship to Demy. She is playful, never self-pitying, clever in her juxtaposition of images of the current with those of the past. What is more, she is never self-aggrandizing, as so many others are. And yet. And yet, she was one of the few women (the only one?) who dared take on the totally male-dominated French film industry in the Sixties and Seventies. She makes a light joke about la Nouvelle Vague, using her favorite decor, the sea coast, and talks about her friendship with the giants of that seminal period, from Resnais to Chabrol and Godard, but without a hint of irony about the misogyny of those auteurs.
Looking forward to the restoration of the Umbrellas of Cherbourg.
Cleo From 5 to 7 being one of my favorite films, I found this a wonderful view into the director, Agnes Varda. The film evolves, the telling of her story, her artistic vision, her childhood, it is intriguing to watch - particularly if you are aware of the French New Wave Cinema and artists of that time. It puts another piece of the puzzle together. Interesting also for elements of Jacques Demy. If you are someone who likes a movie to get to its point, wrap things up quickly and get on to the next thing - I would not recommend this movie for you. On the other hand, if you are someone who likes to linger and explore off the beaten path places and soak up what little treasures you find along the way - you will enjoy this film very much.
don`t bother watching it

Qatar’s Mutaz Essa Barshim and Nafissatou Thiam of Belgium have been named the male and female World Athletes of the Year at the IAAF Athletics Awards 2017, held at the Grimaldi Forum in Monaco on Friday (24).
Barshim, 26, was one of the most consistent and dominant athletes of the year. Starting with a 2.35m leap in Jeddah in April and ending with a 2.40m jump in Eberstadt in August, Barshim pieced together an undefeated season across 11 competitions.
He won the world title in impressive fashion, clearing all of his heights up to his winning mark of 2.35m on his first attempt. One week after his triumph in London, he jumped a world-leading 2.40m in Birmingham and followed it four days later with a winning jump of 2.36m in Zurich to secure the IAAF Diamond League title.
Barshim ended the 2017 season with nine of the best 11 jumps in the world this year, capped by his two 2.40m leaps. He is the first high jumper in history to leap 2.40m or higher in five successive years.
Thiam, the recipient of last year’s Female Rising Star Award after claiming the Olympic heptathlon title, began 2017 by winning the European indoor pentathlon title with a world-leading 4870 points.
Two months later, the 23-year-old climbed to third on the world heptathlon all-time list after winning at the IAAF Combined Events Challenge meeting in Gotzis with 7013 points, producing a series that included a 1.98m high jump and a 59.32m javelin throw.
At the World Championships in London, Thiam lived up to expectation in all seven disciplines and earned the title with a score of 6784.
IAAF President Sebastian Coe presented the trophy to Barshim, while International Athletics Foundation (IAF) Honorary President HSH Prince Albert II of Monaco presented the trophy to Thiam.
“Tonight is our time to celebrate,” Seb Coe said. “We have recognised the achievements and remarkable careers of some outstanding athletes, coaches and officials. With more than 50 champions, record breakers, ambassadors and coaches here tonight it’s impossible to individually honour everyone – I wish we could.
“We celebrate your amazing contributions to a phenomenal year of athletics. I’m particularly excited by the young generation of talent which so dramatically came of age on the world stage in 2017.
“Athletics looks forward to a strong and exciting future safe in your hands.”

Thirty old ages ago, China was a state largely closed to international commercialism. Today, it is the universe ‘s 3rd largest merchandising power. China ‘s outgrowth over this period as a major international participant has non merely redefined the planetary trading system, but besides has far-reaching economic and political impact on China, the US, East Asia and the universe.
China ‘s integrating into the planetary economic system and progressive embracing of market rules have been encouraged by more than 25 old ages of U.S. political and economic battle, pursued on a mostly bipartizan footing across disposals. These developments have helped broaden and intensify relationships between the US and China at all degrees, to the benefit of both states. In this context, a series of US-China trade and macroeconomic differences have emerged, taking to new emphasiss in US-China trade dealingss and worsening some bing points of clash.
This study will place the current trade clash between the US and China, every bit good as the nature, nucleus rules and implicit in causes of the difference. Besides, this study will concentrate on set uping a preferable policy response for both parties from the position of keeping a stable planetary concern environment.
Current trade between the US and China
US Trade With China
US-China trade rose quickly after the two states established diplomatic dealingss ( January 1979 ) , signed a bilateral trade understanding ( July 1979 ) , and provided common most-favored-nation ( MFN ) intervention get downing in 1980. In recent old ages, China has been one of the fastest turning U.S. export markets and the importance of this market is expected to turn even further as life criterions continue to better and a ample Chinese in-between category emerges.
The U.S. trade shortage with China has surged in recent old ages as imports from China have grown much faster than U.S. exports to China. That shortage rose from $ 30 billion in 1994 to $ 256 billion in 2007. The U.S. trade shortage with China is significantly larger than that with any other U.S. trading spouse. In 2007, it was more than twice every bit big as with OPEC, every bit good as the 27 states that make up the European Union, and three times larger than the trade shortage with Japan.

( $ in one million millions )
Major US Exports to China
U.S. ware exports to China in 2007 were $ 65.2 billion, up 18.1 % over the old twelvemonth. China overtook Japan to go the 3rd largest export market in 2007. U.S. exports to China in 2007 accounted for 5.6 % of entire U.S. exports. The top five U.S. exports to China in 2007 were aircraft and parts, semiconducting materials and electronic constituents, waste and bit, oil-rich seeds and grain, and rosins and man-made gum elastic and fibres. China is a important market for U.S. agricultural merchandises. It was the 4th largest finish for U.S. agricultural exports in 2007 at $ 8.3 billion. U.S. agricultural exports grew by 24 % in 2007 over the old twelvemonth. Over the past few old ages, China has been one of the fastest turning U.S. export market among major U.S. trading spouses, as can be seen in. U.S. exports to China rose by about 240 % from 2001 to 2007, which was significantly higher than that of any other top 10-trading spouse.

( $ in one million millions and % alteration )

( $ in one million millions and % alteration )
Many trade analysts argue that China could turn out to be a much more important market for U.S. exports in the hereafter. China ‘s end of overhauling its substructure and upgrading its industries is predicted to bring forth significant demand for foreign goods and services. China ‘s turning economic system and big population make it a potentially tremendous market. To exemplify: China presently has the universe ‘s largest Mobile phone web, and one of the fastest-growing markets, with an estimated 600 million cellular phone users ( as of June 2007 ) , compared to 87 million users in 2000.
However, some U.S. trade analysts contend that China continues to prosecute industrial policies aimed at advancing the development of industries that have been deemed by the authorities as critical for Chinese future economic development. They claim such policies seek to curtail imports of finished merchandises, therefore coercing foreign houses to put in China to derive entree to the domestic market. They note a important degree of U.S. exports to China is natural stuffs, parts, and constituents used to bring forth finished goods for export.
Major US Imports from China
China in 2007 became, for the first clip, the largest beginning of U.S. imports. In 2007, imports from China totaled $ 321.5 billion, accounting for 16.5 % of entire U.S. imports in 2007. The importance ( ranking ) of China as a beginning of U.S. imports has risen dramatically, from 8th largest in 1990, to foremost in 2007. The top five U.S. imports from China, in 2007, were computing machines and parts, assorted manufactured articles ( such as playthings, games, etc. ) , communications equipment, dress, and sound and picture equipment.
Figure: Top Five U.S. Imports from China 2003-2007
( $ in one million millions and % alteration )
Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, about all of U.S. imports from China were low-value, labour-intensive merchandises such as playthings and games, consumer electronic merchandises, footwear, and fabrics and dress. However, over the past few old ages, an increasing proportion of U.S. imports from China has comprised of more technologically advanced merchandises, such as computing machines. Many analysts contend that the crisp addition in U.S. imports from China is mostly the consequence of motion in production installations from other ( chiefly ) Asiatic states to China. That is, assorted merchandises that used to be made in Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, etc. , and so exported to the US are now being made in China ( in many instances, by foreign houses in China ) and exported to the US.

( $ in one million millions and % alteration )
Besides, China is going a major provider of U.S. agricultural merchandises, including fish, veggies and fruit, tea and spices, feeding material for animate beings, and sugar merchandises.
Major US-China Trade Issues
Although China ‘s economic reforms and rapid economic growing have expanded U.S.-China commercial dealingss in recent old ages, tensenesss have arisen over a broad assortment of issues. Several measures have been introduced to react to several of these issues.
Health and Safety Concerns Over Certain Imports from China
Reports throughout 2007 of tainted or insecure nutrient and consumer merchandises ( including seafood, favored nutrient, plaything, and tyres ) from China raised concerns in the US over the wellness, safety, and quality of imports from China. Some analysts contend that China maintains a hapless regulative model for implementing its wellness and safety ordinances and criterions, and that this is turn outing to be a turning job for U.S. consumers.
In 2007 and early 2008, there were legion callbacks, warnings, and import limitations affecting Chinese merchandises. For illustration, The Consumer Product Safety Commission ( CPSC ) has issued qui vives and announced voluntary callbacks by U.S. companies on legion merchandises made in China. From January-December 2007, over four-fifths of CPSC callback notices have involved Chinese merchandises. Over this period, approximately 17.6 million playthings were recalled because of inordinate lead degrees. Recalls were besides issued on 9.5 million Chinese made playthings ( because of the danger of loose magnets ) , 4.2 million “ Aqua Dots ” plaything ( because beads contain a chemical that can turn toxic if ingested ) and 1 million plaything ovens ( due to possible finger entrapment and burn hazzards ) .
China ‘s Poor Regulatory System and Deductions
China is believed to hold a instead weak wellness and safety government for manufactured goods and agricultural merchandises. Problems include:
Weak consumer protection Torahs and ill enforced ordinances
Lack of reviews and uneffective punishments for codification lawbreakers, underfunded and short-handed regulative bureaus and hapless interagency cooperation
The proliferation of bogus goods
The being of legion unaccredited manufacturers
Falsified export paperss
Intense competition that frequently induces houses to cut corners
The comparative absence of consumer protection protagonism groups
Failure by Chinese companies to efficaciously supervise the quality of their providers ‘ merchandises
Restrictions on the media
Extensive authorities corruptness and deficiency of answerability
Particularly at the local authorities degree
Although China has criticized the US for its recent actions against insecure Chinese merchandises, it has pledged to better and beef up nutrient and drug safety supervising and criterions, beef up reviews, require safety certifications before some merchandises can be sold, and to check down on authorities corruptness. For illustration, On September 12, 2007, the NHTSA signed a Memorandum of Cooperation with its Chinese opposite number on enhanced cooperation and communicating on vehicles and automotive equipment safety.
China ‘s Currency Policy
Between 1994 and July 2005, China pegged its currency, the Renminbi ( RMB ) or Yuan, to the U.S. dollar at about 8.28 Yuans to the dollar. In order to keep a mark rate of exchange with the dollar, the authorities has maintained limitations and controls over capital minutess and has made large-scale purchases of U.S. dollars ( and dollar assets ) . Chinese functionaries view economic stableness every bit critical to prolonging political stableness ; they fear an apprehended currency could cut down occupations and lower rewards in several sectors and therefore do worker unrest.
U.S. critics of China ‘s currency policy contend that the low value of the Yuan has forced other East Asiatic economic systems to maintain the value of their currencies lower than the U.S. dollar in order to vie with Chinese merchandises. They further note that while China is still a underdeveloped state, it has been able to roll up monolithic foreign exchange militias ( estimated to hold reached about $ 1.5 trillion at the terminal of 2007 ) and therefore has the resources to keep the stableness of its currency if it were to the full exchangeable. They besides argue that appreciating the Yuan would greatly profit China by take downing the cost of imports and by equilibrating economic growing to include greater domestic ingestion. On the other manus, some analysts have indicated concern that forcing China to appreciate its currency could do it to diminish purchases of U.S. Treasury securities, which might ensue in higher U.S. involvement rates. China is the 2nd largest foreign buyer ( after Japan ) of U.S. Treasury securities, which totaled $ 406 billion at the terminal of 2007.
China and the World Trade Organization
Negotiations for China ‘s accession to the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade ( GATT ) and its replacement organisation, the WTO, began in 1986 and took over 15 old ages to finish. During the WTO dialogues, The US insisted that China could come in the WTO merely if it well liberalized its trade government. In the terminal, China ‘s WTO rank was officially approved at the WTO Ministerial Conference in Doha, Qatar on November 10, 2001, and on December 11, 2001, it officially joined the WTO.
China has made great paces in implementing cardinal facets of its WTO committednesss. For illustration, its mean overall duty has dropped to from 15.6 % in 2001 to 9.9 % in 2006 and a figure of non-tariff steps have been eliminated. However, there have been several countries where China ‘s execution is considered to be uncomplete, including:
Failure by the Chinese authorities to keep an effectual IPR enforcement government
Industrial policies that attempt to advance Chinese houses ( while know aparting against foreign houses )
Restrictions on trading and distribution rights ( particularly in respects to IPR merchandises )
Discriminatory and unpredictable wellness and safety regulations on imports ( agricultural merchandises )
Burdensome ordinances and limitations on services ( including inordinate capital demands )
Failure to supply equal transparence of trade Torahs and ordinances
When China joined the WTO, it agreed to supply a full description of all its subsidy plans, but to day of the month has failed to to the full make so. In add-on, China agreed to do its state-owned endeavors operate harmonizing to market rules ; yet such houses continue to have way and subsidies.
Misdemeanors of U.S. Intellectual Property Rights
U.S. houses contend that IPR buccaneering in China has worsened in recent old ages, despite Chinese authorities promises to beef up IPR enforcement by increasing condemnable prosecutions of IPR wrongdoers ( and toughening punishments ) , improve coordination among IPR enforcement functionaries, and do a long term concentrated attempt to stomp out major buccaneering centres. Nine out of 10 film DVDs are bogus, and 2005 losingss from buccaneering in China were estimated at $ 244 million. Pirated music, music picture, and films are besides widely distributed over the Internet in China. The Chinese authorities estimations that forgeries constitute between 15 % and 20 % of all merchandises made in China and are tantamount to approximately 8 % of China ‘s one-year GDP.
Opinions differ as to why the Chinese authorities has been unable make a important decrease in the degree of buccaneering in China. Some accounts put frontward by assorted analysts include:
China ‘s transmutation from a Soviet-style bid economic system ( in which the authorities owned and controlled about every facet of the economic life ) to one that is going more market-based is a really recent happening. IPR is a comparatively foreign or unfamiliar construct for most people in China to hold on ( as is the construct of private belongings rights ) and therefore it is hard for the authorities to convert the populace that buccaneering is incorrect.
Chinese leaders want to do China a major manufacturer of capital-intensive and high engineering merchandises and therefore they are tolerant of IPR buccaneering if its helps Chinese houses become more technologically advanced.
While the cardinal authorities may be to the full committed to protection of IPR, local authorities functionaries are frequently less enthusiastic to make so because production of pirated merchandises generates occupations and revenue enhancement gross, and some functionaries may be obtaining payoffs or other benefits which prompts them to digest buccaneering.
As a underdeveloped state, China ( like many other developing states ) lacks the resources and a sophisticated legal system to travel after and punish IPR lawbreakers, and that set uping an effectual enforcement government will take clip.
As a practical affair, IPR enforcement in China will ever be debatable until Chinese-owned companies begin to set force per unit area on the authorities to protect their ain trade names and other IPR-related merchandises.
Chinese trade barriers and regulative limitations on IPR-related merchandises and their distribution are so burdensome that they prevent legitimate merchandises from come ining the market, or raise costs so high that they are unaffordable to the mean single, therefore making a immense demand for low-priced pirated merchandises.
Using U.S. Countervailing Laws to China
Many critics of Chinese trade policies contend that the Chinese authorities provides a important degree of subsidies to many of its industries, such as discriminatory bank loans and grants, debt forgiveness, and revenue enhancement interruptions and discounts. In add-on, some analysts charge that China ‘s currency policy constitutes a signifier of authorities export subsidy. Such critics contend that U.S. offseting Torahs, which seek to turn to the negative impact foreign authorities subsidies on exported merchandises may hold on U.S. manufacturers in the US, should be applied to nonmarket economic systems such as China. Until really late, the Commerce Department contended that U.S. offseting Torahs could non be applied to a non-market economic system because of the premise that most production and monetary values in such an economic system are determined by the authorities, and therefore it would be impractical to find the degree of authorities subsidy that might be conveyed to assorted exported merchandises. However, in November 2006, the Commerce Department decided to prosecute a countervailing instance against certain imported Chinese coated free sheet paper merchandises. On March 30, 2007, the Commerce Department issued a preliminary opinion to enforce offseting responsibilities ( runing from 11 % to 20 % ) against the merchandises in inquiry.
Preferable policy response
To get the better of challenges, there are a figure of policies together with cardinal actions points, which are able to keep both states reasonably shared benefits and a stable planetary concern environment:
Increase Coordination with Other Trading Spouses: The US will work more closely with other merchandising spouses on China trade issues of common involvement, such as enforcement of rational belongings rights and China ‘s execution of its WTO duties.
Deepen and Strengthen Regional Engagement: The US will prosecute increased trade liberalisation and expanded trade dealingss with other Asiatic economic systems and within APEC. This increased battle will assist to keep and heighten U.S. commercial relationships with these economic systems, even as China besides strengthens its commercial relationships with them. All together, it should assist spur farther market entree and reform in China ‘s trade government, every bit good as addition impulse for many-sided trade liberalisation within the WTO.
Increase Focus on Regulatory Reform in China: The US will step-up attempts to advance regulative reform in China, in topographic point of subsidies and administrative steps and policies that distort resource allotment and trade flows, including:
Intensifying and spread outing the State Department ‘s high-ranking duologue with China ‘s economic contrivers sing structural reform.
Broadening and escalating appraisal of subsidies in China and go oning force per unit area on the Chinese authorities to follow with its subsidy-related duties under the WTO, including doing a full WTO subsidy presentment.
Expanding USDA-led enterprises to better China ‘s transparence and conformity with its SPS duties under the WTO.
Giving intensive attending to China ‘s development of criterions and of an anti-monopoly jurisprudence.
Increase Effectiveness of High-Level Meetings between the US and China ‘s Leaderships: should go on to keep one-year, elevated meetings prior to presidential-level meetings, where possible, and behavior periodic reappraisals of ends and advancement.
Strengthen and Expand Bilateral Dialogues on Numerous Current and Potential Problem Areas: Dialogue on Engagement in Global Institutions, Dialogue on Services, Dialogue on Subsidies and Structural Issues, Dialogue on Standards, Labor Dialogue, Dialogue on Environmental Protection, Dialogue on China ‘s Administration of Antidumping Laws.
Strengthen U.S. Government Interagency Coordination: The Trade Promotion Coordinating Committee ( TPCC ) will escalate its attempts to direct U.S. export publicity enterprises for China and guarantee that they are optimally effectual, and China trade and export publicity policies are complementary.
Strengthen the Executive-Congressional Partnership on China Trade: originate a plan of regular briefings for Congressional members and staff, to update them on advancement in prosecuting the aims outlined in this study and to guarantee that the Administration ‘s China trade policy is informed by Congressional precedences.
The economic and geopolitical landscape of the twenty-first century will be greatly influenced by the manner, in which the United States and China work together. That emerging future requires a distinguishable vision and effectual mechanisms to accomplish it. By set uping those policies, they will let both the United States and China to get down to compose the following chapter of our strategic economic relationship.
Whatever their geopolitical differences, both states portion an tremendous interest in furthering unfastened trade and investing. Both states risk immense losingss if their commercial dealingss are engulfed by a moving ridge of protection and recrimination. However, both can portion tremendous additions if their joint policies guarantee the continued enlargement of universe trade and investing.

John Obi Mikel has put his injury woes behind him by making a successful return to first team action for Chinese club Tianjin Teda.
The Super Eagles midfielder played the full 90 minutes of Tianjin’s 2-0 loss at home to Hebei CFFC on Monday afternoon.
It was the 30-year-old’s first match for his club since scoring in a 2-0 win over Chongqing Dangdai Lifan back in early April.
With Nigeria manager Gernot Rohr set to reveal his squad for upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Cameroon, Mikel’s return could see him named in the German’s selection.
Tianjin will also be relieved to have the West African back in the action, having slipped into the Chinese Super League’s relegation zone.

The lower temperatures usually cause the building moisture to evaporate more slowly, so that your screed will take longer to dry than you may have anticipated. The addition of hot air blowers or electric or gas heaters, for example, will cause the temperature to quickly rise by a few degrees, so that your screed will dry out more quickly. Are you looking for professional heating for industry use? Buildingdryers.be is the right address!
Hot air blowers or heaters are also perfectly suited to get your large industrial hall at the ideal temperature for a major event. For the heating of industrial halls it is best to choose an electric heater from 3 kW to 18 kW or an indirect fired hot air blower from 50 kW to 250 kW. Feel free to contact Buildingdryers.be for advice on the various available options!
Do you have a large party tent that you want the heat? Here, too, you can install electric or gas heaters. Buildingdryers.be offers a wide range of heaters. For heating party tents, indirect fired hot air blowers are ideal because they are installed outside the space to be heated, so that smoke and combustion products are discharged to the atmosphere. The clean, odourless hot air is then blown into the tent. These indirect heaters run on oil or diesel.

Federal Minister for Human Rights, Senator Kamran Michael has taken notice of the incident of a Christian ice-cream vendor beaten for selling ice-creams to Muslims. PML-N’ Kamran Michael who hails from the Pakistani Christian community, says that the incident every citizen of Pakistan regardless of religion has equal rights.
“Pakistan’s Constitution guarantees equal rights for each and every citizen of Pakistan. State will not allow anyone to take vengeance on others based on religious, racial, ethnic grounds,” Senator Kamran Michael declared, who has recently taken charge as the Federal Minister of Human Rights.
While taking notice of news of the heinous incident published in Christians in Pakistan, he has directed the DPO of Kasur to compile and present an exclusive report over the incident in two days. Kamran Michael further directed DOP Kasur to take action against those found guilty or involved in the heinous torture of the Christian ice-cream vendor in Kot Imam Din village. Consequently, an FIR has been registered and police is set to make investigations into the incident.
As reported earlier, a 42-year-old, Christian ice-cream vendor Khaleel Masih who is resident of Changa Manga was bashed by a mob in Kot Imam Din, a village in District Kasur, on May 17. The mob tortured him for selling ice-creams to Muslims as they chanted, Christians are untouchables! They are not followers of our holy prophet. They are meant for cleaning our houses and therefore should not be allowed to sell anything edible to Muslims.”

Ellen could tell something about her body was… different. Is a “vague feeling of power” a sign of pregnancy? Here, she tells the story of what it was like to find out she was expecting her first child.
Even though it was still a few days before there was reason to pick one up, my husband insisted on running to the Walgreens around the block to get an at-home pregnancy test. He “had a feeling.”
I, on the other hand, had doubts. Still, I chugged water, and we both impatiently waited for my bladder to fill — a task that seemed to take curiously more time and liquid than usual.
For fear of getting my husband’s hopes up, I hadn’t mentioned that a few days earlier, I thought I felt — or something felt — different. I’d gone for a run around Lake Bde Maka Ska in Minneapolis and felt… fast. Strong. Powerful? Something. I had felt something. I felt at home in my bodiliness; somehow more rooted in my own embodied experience than ever. But as far as I knew, “a vague feeling of power” wasn’t a symptom of some new life forming inside me.
In fact, despite my best efforts against reading into small, inexplicable, and fleeting phenomena, for weeks I found myself constantly seeking some cosmic indication of what was going on inside my own body. A friend at work brings up babies in casual conversation? I’m certainly pregnant, emitting motherhood vibes without even knowing it. An email lands in my inbox for a new maternity line at my favorite store? I can almost picture my big belly now! I have a sensation of the great physical capacities of my body during a workout? The most incredible capacity must already be secretly underway.
I managed to find conflicting clues, too. Clues that I was barren, that it hadn’t worked, that my body was empty. I didn’t know what to believe, and to my great frustration, it was impossible to discern by sheer willpower alone.
It was a strange experience to look outside myself for clues and information about something fundamentally transpiring within myself. I inadvertently clung to the subtlest and the silliest. It was strange that I required some outside source to reveal an inside reality. Naturally, I couldn’t help but be on the lookout for any and all signs.
I don’t think I’m alone in this sudden urge to scavenge daily life for hints about something that falls into the category of knowable-but-yet-unknown. Will I get the job for which I just interviewed? Could this first date be the beginning of life together? Am I pregnant? There is an answer to these questions: it’s either yes or no. And even though we are integral participants, active agents in the circumstances, and implicated in every way by either answer, we are often nonetheless in position of waiting for the yes or the no to be revealed.
When it was finally time, I took the test. We set a timer to go look at the results, together, a few minutes later. After the count of three, we glanced down and a little line on a small piece of plastic told us we were pregnant. A modern-day revelation from on high.
Although it was more scientific than, say, the sensation of embodiment during my recent run, the presence or absence of this little line suddenly seemed an absurd way to discover whether a new human was forming inside me. It didn’t seem so qualitatively different than reading into a conversation at work or receiving a serendipitous email. Given the news, shouldn’t the heavens have opened? Jovial trumpets in the distance? Doesn’t the existence of a new soul warrant a better announcement than what a piece of drug store plastic can provide?
My husband pointed out that I seemed to expect an annunciation on par with Mary finding out she was pregnant with Jesus (a little presumptuous, I realize). The heavens didn’t open, and an angel didn’t descend with a message from God. I didn’t happen to have that in common with the Holy Mother of God. Fine. But I was struck, nonetheless, that even after 2,000 years of improvements in science and increased understandings of pregnancy, I could glimpse Mary’s experience of needing and waiting to be told by an outside revelation about this great event at work inside me.
In the charged stillness that followed, I wondered whether any clue, any announcement — angels descending from heaven included — could ever sufficiently communicate all the hope, fear, joy, and sorrow that this particular revelation admits. I suspect not — not even for Mary.

Some ideas for outdoor Halloween decorations are to make a "bonfire" out of pumpkins, porch pumpkins with Halloween quotes and light bright pumpkins. Another idea is to make skull lights with mason jars.
To make a bonfire out of pumpkins, carve flames into a bunch of pumpkins, and arrange them in a pile so that the candle light shows the flame designs. Instead of carving the usual images into pumpkins for the porch, paint them with chalkboard paint, and add spooky Halloween phrases with a stencil. However, these pumpkins need to be brought inside if it rains to avoid running paint.
To make light bright pumpkins for the porch, hollow out several pumpkins, and use a drill with a small bit to create patterns of holes in the pumpkins. Carve a large hole into the back, and insert a string of lights into each pumpkin, poking individual lights through the hole patterns. Use the hole in the back of the pumpkin to run the light cord into an outlet.
Mason jar skull lights are made by painting the jars a solid color and then painting or drawing a skull on them. Place a tea light candle in each jar, and line the walkway or porch steps with them.

|Winchester Crash Course by Brambleshadow [Reviews - 0]|
When thirteen-year-old Annabelle Harevenís family was killed in a wendigo attack, she didnít expect to be the only one to survive, nor that she would be saved by two hunters called Sam and Dean. It wasnít long before she joined the two brothers as they taught her everything they knew about the supernatural evils that live in the dark corners and back roads of America Ö and how to kill them. She also didnít expect to fall in love with another teenage hunter, or find out that she could play a crucial role in the war against heaven, hell, and everything in between.
What she definitely didnít count on was running away with a mysterious alien with a bigger-on-the-inside police box that could travel in both time and space: The Doctor, the Time Lord also known as the Oncoming Storm and the Bringer of Darkness.
There was a reason for those nicknames. She just didnít want to find out that reason so early on in their travels.

The ‘Promised Land’ star mingled with other Hollywood celebs on the red carpet at this year’s Environmental Media Association Awards.
Throughout Matt Damon’s two decades as a Hollywood leading man, he’s portrayed characters that run the gamut of verbosity—from the monologue-prone, savant janitor Will Hunting in Good Will Hunting to the mostly mute, speaks-with-his-fists amnesiac assassin Jason Bourne in the Bourne trilogy.
The around-the-clock rumble and hum of big rigs and cars funneling in and out of one of the world’s busiest port complexes have for years defined daily life in west Long Beach.
Streets of tidy homes, schools and playgrounds are boxed in by refineries, rail yards and truck routes to the harbor, including the gritty, four-mile Terminal Island Freeway.
Children are hospitalized for asthma at three times the rate of other Long Beach neighborhoods, and there are far fewer parks here.
But now city officials are considering a radical makeover of west Long Beach that would involve ripping out a one-mile section of one of the Southland’s first freeways, now mostly used by truckers, and replacing it with a long ribbon of green space.
In a series of videos calling for an end to fracking, celebrity environmental advocates demanded several elected officials explain “what the frack” they’re thinking by supporting the controversial gas- and oil-extracting process.
Celebrities including Marisa Tomei, Darren Criss, Lance Bass, Daryl Hannah, Amy Smart, Hayden Panettiere and Wilmer Valderrama star in the videos calling out President Obama and governors Jerry Brown of California, Andrew Cuomo of New York and John Hickenlooper of Colorado for not banning fracking.
Governor Brown recently signed into law California’s first fracking regulations, requiring oil companies to obtain fracking permits, alert neighbors, test groundwater, publicly disclose chemicals used and study the fracking’s environmental impact. But environmental activists say the practice needs to be banned outright.
Not only is this retro chicken coop a work of art from French artist Bendetto Burfalino, but it’s also a creative and sustainable way to convert a 1970′s police car into a natural habitat. Plus we bet those farm fresh eggs taste pretty spectacular too!
Several studies, including this one by Duke University, this one published in “Environmental Science and Technology” and this one by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency show injecting the fracking fluid, which contains thousands of pounds of chemicals per well, significantly elevates levels of toxins, including radiation, metals, brine, and volatile hydrocarbon gases like the carcinogen benzene in affected water. Most fracking fluid is left deep in the ground, which could migrate through pathways created by natural and man-made faults, endangering people over many generations.
All around the globe, record numbers of people from all walks of life are being thrown into jails because they are standing up to protect the most basic of human needs — uncontaminated water, unpolluted lands, and a livable climate free from the ramifications of extreme fossil fuel extraction. If the greed-driven fossil fuel extraction corporations — and the governments that do their bidding to assure sustained record profits — don’t stop endangering our critical and already-compromised life support systems, there is little doubt that the numbers of individuals standing up will grow exponentially.
SAN FRANCISCO – Nov 13 (Reuters) – California businesses covered by the state’s cap-and-trade program will soon be able to use forest conservation projects to offset the carbon emissions from their plants and factories after the state issued the first batch of credits on Wednesday.
The state issued 1.2 million offset credits to the 19,000-acre Willits Woods project, which was developed by Coastal Ridges LLC. The project is located in Mendocino County, about 150 miles north of San Francisco. Continue reading →

I grew up in a world full of adventure! And I read extensively, I can not remember ever learning to read, thanks to Mum’s hard work when I was so young. I lived on farms, and often visited family who lived on a sheep station. Getting thrown out of the shearing shed onto a big pile of sheep poo was more fun than you would think. On our family farm we had 2 cats, 2 dogs, 7 horses, a bunch of cows, heaps of wallabies, and loads of snakes – mostly deadly. One day I’ll write the story of how my city aunty shot our complete collection of gumboots full of holes in an attempt to take out a particularly deadly snake. Having so many non-human companions did wonders for my imagination, and many a story stemmed from being with the animals. Beach adventures, of which were too numerous to count, also inspired many a tale.
I dilly-dally’ed with various career options before I began working in the world of Children’s Literature full-time at the beginning of 2011. I love my work and all that it entails including imaginary worlds, quirky characters, great books, amazing people and working with/for children.
Many accomplished Children’s Book Writers are also gifted illustrators. I feel obliged to admit that I am to illustrating as a barbeque skewer is to a blow-up castle at a school fete, so I look forward to working with those who are far more capable than I am.

I grew up spoilt rotten in the food department. Everyone in my family can cook well, and love to do it as often as they can. Seeing as I mainly work from home I have easy access to my fridge and pantry. I have been known to take a ‘quick break’ from writing, and one and a half hours later my kitchen is covered with chocolate and almond biscotti (here’s the recipe – chocolate and almond biscotti). And when I have been writing for too long my home-made pizzas have been known to resemble book characters – it’s amazing what you can do with cut up vegetables!
My Dad let me take my first photo at the age of four. Since then I have invested heavily in my photography habit. I can lose hours and hours going through my collection, re-living moments that will never be lost to me. My walls are covered with photos of loved ones, and many of the places that I have travelled to, which brings me to my next hobby. . . .
I grew up in Australia, and it is a REALLY big country. So just going ‘down the road’ to visit the relatives was in fact a big journey. From my first road trips down the east coast of Australia playing “I spy with my little eye” to my numerous trips overseas, I have developed a deep love for packing a bag and going on adventures. Even now I still play “I spy with my little eye”.
I spent much of my first decade out of school getting an education. I was lucky to be an Exchange Student in Danmark for my first year out of school. I had a brilliant time, learned to speak Danish fluently, told many school groups about Australian life and our animals, and became an expert at crafting and throwing snowballs. After that I got a Degree in Business – Majoring in Advertising. Next on my list was a Post-Graduate Diploma in Film and Television Production. That was seriously fun, and I hope to use it one day in the Children’s TV arena. Finally I obtained a Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults through Cambridge.

Showcase 2013 is April 25
by Thomas Wilson
Posted on 4/16/2013
Time for Goodbye!
Its’ the end of the school year, Iowa Central Performing Arts has wound down to their final concert. What a journey! What an adventure! For many students stepping out on the stage at the annual spring concert, SHOWCASE 2013, will mark the end of their academics at Iowa Central and the end of their performance time with us.
Showcase 2013 will be held Thursday, April 25th at 1:00 PM and at 7:00 PM, and on Friday, April 26th at 7:00 PM in the Decker Auditorium on the Iowa Central campus. Doors will open 30 minutes before show time and admission is FREE.
Iowa Central has a long tradition of providing audiences with an amazing music from the instrumental and vocal arenas. The ensembles have worked very hard this past semester in order to bring another great experience to the Fort Dodge community. Showcase will bring together both the instrumental and vocal students in a concert that you will not want to miss.
Our concert will open with the Iowa Central Concert Band under the direction of Paul Bloomquist. In his sixth year as the band director, Paul has brought such a positive and energetic style to the concert band. He will be directing Hymn and Celebration by Timothy Mahr, Abram’s Pursuit by David Holsinger, and a march entitled The Spinning Baton March by Marlan Bloomquist. Paul’s father wrote the melody for piano and it published when he was a sophomore in high school back in 1962, he then arranged that melody for band in 1974 when he was at Lytton. To date The Spinning Baton March has only been played five times.
Under the direction of Kathleen Schreier, accompanied by Mary Heimbruch, the Iowa Central Concert Choir will continue your concert experience with some arrangements of some well-known secular and sacred pieces. Starting their set you will be able to hear the sweet soft voices in Abide With Me. You will want to tap your foot along and raise your arms in praise when the concert choir offers their songs of I’m Gonna Sing ‘Til the Spirit Moves in My Heart and Worthy to Be Praised. Two very new pieces to the choirs’ repertoire that Kathleen was excited about working on include, Hark, I Hear the Harps Eternal and Choose Something Lie a Star.
The second half of the concert will kick off with the upbeat music on Encore Singers as Martin Wise hits us with his best shot on the solo in Hit Me with Your Best Shot/ One Way or Another. Daniel Peet will be soloing in a tune to really get people dancing in Boogie Shoes. The Encore Singers will divide their talents as the men take stage for Mr. Pinstripe Suit and the women become the survivors of the night with I Will Survive/ Survivor. The audience will find some love for Kaluba Namoonde and Emily Garst as they solo in Faithfully before we end their set with the GLEE version of Somebody to Love, with soloists Jefferson Fosbender and Anna Wuldkuhler. The Encore Singers choreography is by Dance Coach Cassidy Vermeer and assisted by Jamie Johnston. They will be accompanied by Mary Heimbruch and the Encore Choir Pit.
Jazz Band will conclude our show with selected tunes from Spain arranged by Paul Jennings, Lullaby by Bob Curnow, Thaditude by Steve Weist, In Memory of Bix arragned by Tom Kubis, Moanin’ arranged by Sy Johnson, and Well You Needn’t arranged Dave Mills.
Throughout the night we will weave in our additional ensembles to perform. Vocal Jazz will be offering their vocal rendition of Organ Fugue BWV578 and a sweet version of What a Wonderful World, while the brass ensemble brings a touch of Gaga to us with Bad Romance by Lady Gaga. These are sure to be hits with our audience members.
In 2010 the Performing Arts faculty and staff have recognized the graduates of the Iowa Central Performing Arts. And this year we are excited to once again give special recognition to the students who have worked hard day after day for the past year or two in order for our concerts and shows to take place. This is our way of saying thank you, and to give them all the love as we say goodbye.
Showcase 2013 marks the end of time at Iowa Central for so many talented students. It is our time to say goodbye to the students that have touched our lives and shared their many wonders with us. Join us April 25th and 26th as we bid our students farewell!
What: Showcase 2013
When: April 25th @ 1:00 and 7:00 PM, and April 26th @ 7:00 PM
Where: Decker Auditorium

The 365 project. A year of Archibald Photography in photographs.
February 6. Hannah and Moomoo. When I was in Hong Kong a few years ago and was really missing Donna and the kids, I stumbled across a Moomin shop . Inside, I found Moomoo. He came back with me on the plane to Scotland and has been Hannah’s bestest pal ever since. It was nice to have him along on our walk today.


The Central Statistics Office National Travel Survey 2019 found that 29% of car journeys are under 2km. As the population of South Dublin grows, emissions from transport will also grow.
In urban areas like South Dublin, Active Travel offers real alternatives to driving. A number of actions in our Climate Change Action Plan will deliver safer cycle lanes and walking routes making them a realistic and integral part of how people move around the county.
Cycle South Dublin is an ambitious programme of work that reflects the increasing importance of making cycling a leading means of how people move around the County. It proposes a set of 45 routes (65 projects) that would deliver over 260KM of new and improved cycle lanes over the next ten years.
The new routes will be safe, well-connected and designed for people of all ages and abilities.
SDCC’s vision is for South Dublin to become one of Ireland’s most cycle friendly counties.
The projects are broken into four Council led phases and include improvements to the existing network plus new schemes to be progressed in the following timescales: EXISTING (increased cycle safety and maintenance upgrades of existing cycle lanes and streets), NOW (within 2 years), SOON (within 5 years) and LATER (within 8 eight years). There would also be a fifth and separate phase of works to be delivered by the NTA via Bus Connects.
Recently completed projects include:
- Belgard North Link Road
- Celbridge Link Road
- Dodder Greenway Phases 1-3
- Fortunestown Lane Light Segregation Scheme
- Grange Road
- Monastery Road
- N81 Jobstown Junction cycling and walking track
For more information and latest Active Travel news please visit the SDCC Active Travel website.
The site also contains an interactive map showing current cycle routes, future schemes, and bike parking.

CLOVIS, N.M. (KRQE) – The teen who threatened to shoot up Clovis High School on Snapchat has taken a plea agreement.
The 16-year-old posted the messages last month.
She was released on house arrest and ordered to not have access to any electronic devices.
The next day, however, she found herself in trouble again when she posted from her brothers Snapchat account.
Her trial was scheduled for November, but according to the Eastern New Mexico News, she recently reached a plea agreement.
As part of the agreement, the girl will spend two years on supervised probation and will not be allowed to use social media.
She will also be required to complete at least 50 hours of community service and issue a public apology.

Prison for the most "active" group against the police at the Hasél protests
The court accuses them of attempted murder for the burned van of the City police
Barcelona / Canet de Mar / MataróThe Barcelona police court has ordered provisional detention without bail for eight of those arrested in Saturday's riots in Barcelona. They are part of the group that is linked to the anarchist movement and the riots in the Catalan capital that left the image of a van of the Guardia Urbana burning, according to the General Commissariat of Information of the Mossos d'Esquadra, dedicated to the fight against terrorism. They are being investigated for the crimes of belonging to a criminal group, attempted murder - due to burning the van whilst a police agent was inside of it -, attack on law enforcement officers, demonstration or unlawful assembly, public disorder and damage. The detainees appeared Tuesday before the court of instruction number 17 of Barcelona and only answered the questions of their defense.
According to the Mossos, the eight people who are part of the group - five men and three women of legal age - acted on Saturday "with a very high degree of violence". They are six Italians - five men and one woman -, a Frenchwoman, and a Catalan. Apart from burning the van, the police link them with the damage made to banks, looting in shops, and damage to street furniture. That night the worst riots took place since the protests against the imprisonment of Pablo Hasél began. 14 people were arrested for the riots in Barcelona, but the focus is on about half of those who were arrested.
The action of spraying the police vehicle with flammable liquid was made by the Italian woman of the group, although the Mossos believe that the eight detainees intervened "together". The agent who was driving it went out through the passenger door. The police explain that in previous mobilizations had already detected "a very active group with a high level of organization" that acted against the agents. According to the force, they covered each other to avoid arrests, taking advantage of the bulk of people attending the demonstrations. The Mossos say that on Saturday they acted with the aim of "neutralizing" this group: first they arrested seven members, and later the eighth.
"We do not want to talk"
The police also went this Monday with the detainees to two squat houses of Canet de Mar and Mataró, where they reside. The agents searched the warehouses, and on this Tuesday those who still live there did not want to talk. "Out! You won't get anything out of here", a young woman with an Italian accent shouted through the window of the Mataró building. "Things are very firey, we still do not know very well what this is all about", responded in a much friendlier manner and in Spanish - with a Galician accent - a man in his 40s at the door of the old factory Can Jover de Canet, a modernist building designed by Puig and Cadafalch that closed in 2011 after 126 years dedicated to textiles.
The mayor of Canet, Blanca Arbell, says that the municipal police already controlled the squatters who lived in this old factory and that this has facilitated the interventions. Duna, a neighbour who lives in front of the building, places the number of people who have moved in and out of the building since it was occupied at around ten.
Duna guarantees to have seen how a man who manages to the house from the beginning, an Italian of about 50 years of age, according to her, "beat" another one that tried to make damages to the warehouse. "During the day sometimes vans arrived with furniture, but when they came at night you could see that they wanted to hide whatever they brought", explains again Duna, who describes the Italian as the "leader" of the house. They hung a sign on the front of the house saying "The real virus is capitalism".
Parties and illegal concerts
In Mataró, Estrella, a neighbor of the building squatted for about three years, also notes that there was "a leader" of about 35 or 40 years, older than the rest of the young people living in the house. According to Maria José, who also owns the bar in front of the building, there are about ten people who speak "Spanish, Catalan, Italian and French", who have never created any problems with the neighbours apart from the illegal parties and concerts, which they all agree there have been three, two of them during the pandemic.
"Once I went to a concert and the music was so loud that you couldn't even hear the singer's voice"; says Héctor, who lives next to the building and has not had any contact with the squatters since then. Curiously, he was one of the founders of the Office of Occupation of Barcelona and ended up dissociating himself from the movement, because of disagreements with the most radical wing and the lack of strategy. "They voted in assembly whether to break my legs. Luckily they said no. The most individualistic anarchism is being imposed, that of destroying everything even if nothing is achieved", he says.

PHOTOS: Marriage Equality, One Year Later, Marked at NYC Pride
BY Julie Bolcer
June 25 2012 8:39 AM ET
The theme of the march was “Share The Love,” a nod to the momentum generated in New York and an acknowledgement of the bracing agenda that remains. Four states will vote on marriage equality in referendums this November, and by this time next year, the Supreme Court could rule on the issue, with cases on DOMA and California’s Proposition 8 on track for consideration.
Governor Andrew Cuomo, who signed the Marriage Equality Act into law, marched with his girlfriend Sandra Lee and three teenage daughters, surrounded by same-sex couples that have married in the state. Gannett estimates that at least 8,100 licenses have been issued since the law took effect in July.
“Marriage equality meant so much to so many people, and you can still feel it resonating,” said Cuomo after the march. “It was a great accomplishment for the state of New York, and it was an accomplishment that resonated all across the nation.”

“Farewell Party” is a song by lyricist Lawton Williams. Lawton, originally, made the very first recording of the track in 1960. After a year (1961), Little Jimmy Dickens covered the same tune. Apart from the aforementioned artists, American country musicians Johnny Bush and Gene Watson made their own versions. The last was Alan Jackson who put “Farewell Party” on his Under the Influence album.
You’ll be free at the end of my farewell party
But I’ll go away loving you
In February 1979, Capitol released Gene Watson’s cover as the second single from the album Reflections. The song occupied the 5th spot on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart. Even though it was not able to make it to the top of the charts, “Farewell Party”, as many consider, is Watsons’ signature song. In addition, it is the most popular version. Funny enough, he even named his band Farewell Party Band.
Every Gene’s major hit is in his collection, his signature song “Farewell Party” was not left out. One time, Gene Watson said that he had been singing the song in clubs for several years. He did this before he finally recorded it. To his belief, everybody really liked the song.
He admitted that he got this impression that nobody wanted him to record the song. For the reason that they thought the track was too sad. However, it was a song he had in his mind that he had to record.
Mr. Watson knew how people reacted to it, and it was simply phenomenal. Most people, no matter how happy they try to act or appear, have this kind of loneliness. That is one of the spices of life. According to Gene, the song just seemed to have the power to get inside people’s hearts and just tear at them. He saw that when he performed it. “Farewell Party” had all the qualities to dig deep into the people’s heart and soul—something they can never forget.
Shockingly, Watson’s classic tune may not have been a hit if he had not had some extra time left in the recording studio. Gene Watson vividly remembered that they had 20 minutes left at the end of the session. Then, he thought that he would give the song a run. On the original recording, we can say that it was the first cut. In addition, he revealed that it was just one of the magical things that happened.
In 2002, Gene Watson became an inductee into the Texas Country Music Hall of Fame. Also, he was inducted into the inaugural class of the Houston Music Hall of Fame in August 2013.
farewell party, Gene Watson

“Kyrsten Sinema sold us all out.”
“Kyrsten Sinema facilitates fascism!”
“Parents: make sure to give your children all the attention they need, so they don’t grow up to be Kyrsten Sinema.”
What did the maverick Arizona Democrat do to prompt this unhinged outrage? Simply take a stand for the filibuster, part of our system of checks and balances that keeps us free, a position that until quite recently was uncontroversial even among Democrats.
“The danger of eliminating the 60-vote threshold is that the Senate becomes the House,” Sinema said at an event earlier in the week. “And I remind everyone, I left the House and ran for the Senate for a reason.”
The senator made a compelling case for maintaining the Senate filibuster, which requires 60-votes to pass legislation instead of a bare majority, 50 votes.
“When Republicans are in control, they pass a little bit of crazy legislation,” she argued. “When Democrats are in control, they pass a little bit of crazy legislation. And the job of the Senate is to cool that passion.”
Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) says she's not only against abolishing the filibuster, she's for strengthening it: "The best thing you can do for your child is to not give them everything they want… We should restore the 60-vote threshold for areas in which it has been eliminated." pic.twitter.com/OR53ymuE4x
— Heartland Signal (@HeartlandSignal) September 26, 2022
“There’s a saying, the House is the cup of hot tea,” Sinema continued, “and the Senate is the saucer in which you cool that tea. The Senate was designed to be a place that moves slowly, to cool down those passions, to think more strategically and long-term.”
“The best thing you can do for your child is to not give them everything they want, right?” she asked. “And that’s important to the United States Senate as well. We shouldn’t get everything we want in the moment.”
Sinema even took it one step further. She went on to argue that not only should we preserve the Senate filibuster, we should restore it for the narrow areas where it has already been eroded, such as budget legislation and judicial nominations.
Suffice it to say these compelling, principled arguments did not go over well on the Left. They desperately want partisan priorities like abortion legislation, election overhauls, and gun control forced through Congress, and the filibuster is a barrier to those short-term objectives.
LMFAOOO, a new poll has found that Kyrsten Sinema is despised by Democrats, Independents, and Republicans all equally.
Finally, some unity. 😜

6 weeks until the midterms, and Kyrsten Sinema is at an event with Mitch McConnell bragging about her ‘friendship’ with him.
Are you f*cking kidding me?
— Jo 🌻 (@JoJoFromJerz) September 26, 2022
Kyrsten Sinema is uniting this country. We can all agree she’s a dogshit Senator.
— Tim Hannan (@TimHannan) September 25, 2022
This social media hatestorm is completely unwarranted and utterly misguided.
For one, Sinema is right on the merits. The Senate filibuster is a crucial part of our system of checks and balances that prevents us from wildly see-sawing on major destabilizing policies every two years. It forces compromise, careful consideration, and bipartisanship before major overhauls do occur. And for many, many years, everyone from Barack Obama to Joe Biden could see this, and defended the filibuster robustly.
The senator deserves credit, not condemnation, for sticking to her guns on the issue.
The backlash is always just extremely short-sighted. If Democrats were to scrap the filibuster, they would very quickly live to regret it. In just a few years, when Republicans inevitably retake control, they would be able to usher in a nationwide abortion ban, universal gun rights legislation, huge cuts to social programs, or any number of other progressive nightmares. By undermining a check on the system in pursuit of short-term goals, Democrats would hamper not just the good of the country, but also their own interests in the long run.
We don’t have to ponder this as some hypothetical: it’s already happened.
Remember that Democrats were the ones to initially remove the filibuster for judicial nominations, in 2013 under Harry Reid. They soon lived to regret it.
“Back in 2013, frustrated by Senate Republicans’ blockade of then-President Barack Obama’s judicial nominees, Reid changed the filibuster rules to not apply to federal judgeships below the Supreme Court level,” CNN reports. “In the near term, the change allowed him (and Obama) to get a bunch of judges confirmed.”
“But, after Republicans took over the Senate, new leader Mitch McConnell announced he was getting rid of the filibuster on judges at the Supreme Court level too,” CNN continues. “Which, in turn, led to President Donald Trump nominating – and the Republican-led Senate confirming – three new Supreme Court justices over the past four years, judges who almost certainly would not have been able to make the previous 60-vote hurdle.”
The appointment of those judges is what ultimately culminated in the 2022 decision overturning Roe v. Wade.
It’s impossible to know for sure what would’ve happened in an alternate universe where the judicial filibuster had remained intact. But it seems quite likely that President Trump would’ve been forced to nominate more moderate justices who would not have gone on to entirely overturn Roe.
Yet Democrats just refuse to learn their lesson. So, they continue with their senseless campaign against the filibuster, and rail viciously against those few among them, like Kyrsten Sinema, who dare dissent. But if Democrats do ultimately erode the filibuster, history will vindicate Sinema’s position.


3-5-13 Atlantic Records – Japanese CD’s
Happy birthday, Lucio Battisti! (Born 1943). On 3/5/66, the LP “Going Places” by Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass charts at No. 1 in the US. Also on 3/5/66 the Lou Christie 45 “Lightning Strikes” charts at No. 11 in England. Also on 3/5/66 the Hollies 45 “I Can’t let Go” charts at No. 2 in England. John Belushi croaks, 1982. Happy birthday, Mark E. Smith (of The Fall), born 1957.
I recently read about a series of CD’s being issued in Japan by Atlantic Records for a very low price, 1,000 yen. When I looked at the list, there seemed to be lots of titles that had never seen the light of day on CD before (that I was aware of, anyway).
I ordered and received these titles:
McPHATTER, CLYDE / THE DRIFTERS – ROCK & ROLL, ATLANTIC JPN CD mono
TURNER, JOE – ROCK & ROLL, ATLANTIC JPN CD mono
MAR–KEYS, THE – DO THE POPEYE WITH…, ATLANTIC JPN CD mono
BAKER, MICKEY – WILDEST GUITAR, ATLANTIC JPN CD stereo
RUSH, OTIS – MOURNING IN THE MORNING, ATLANTIC JPN CD stereo
KING, FREDDIE – MY FEELING FOR THE BLUES, ATLANTIC JPN CD stereo
V.A. – SATURDAY NIGHT AT THE UPTOWN, ATLANTIC JPN CD stereo
Wow, some amazing stuff! I was always a big fan of “Lover Please” by Clyde McPhatter, so it was a treat to hear his work with The Drifters. I can’t imagine how many people heard this astonishing Big Joe Turner album – Elvis Presley, The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan etc. The Mar-Keys are basically Booker T. & The MG’s with a horn section, but in 1962. Great instrumental groove! Mickey Baker is a guitarist and is wonderful – great 1959 stereo, too! The albums by Otis Rush and Freddie King are late 60’s / early 70’s electric blues albums – just fabulous! And – finally – “Saturday Night At The Uptown” is a stereo 1964 live recording of The Drifters, Patty & The Emblems, The Vibrations, Wilson Pickett, Patti LaBelle & Her Bluebells, The Carltons and Barbara Lynn!
It is seldom that you ever see any of these titles on LP. I’ve never seen a Mar-Keys LP! I definitely collect sampler LP’s on Atlantic, and I’ve never seen the “Saturday Night At The Uptown” LP! I will go out on a limb and suggest that I never saw the Mickey Baker LP because stores would probably have a problem about where to file the LP – R&B or jazz?
It made me pretty happy to listen to these albums on CD! Makes me want to find more Mar-Keys titles on vinyl or CD! Where’s my copy of the Mickey Baker LP lurking?

A GRANDMOTHER repeatedly hit her husband over the head after making unkind comments about his ‘dying dad’, a court heard.
Burnley magistrates were told Anita Lea Stott, 44, struck Brian Stott twice during a drinking session at home and then hit him again, leaving him bleeding from a cut.
Stott, of Parliament Street, Burnley, admitted assault by beating on February 24 and was given a 12-month conditional discharge. She must pay a £15 victim surcharge.
Alex Mann, prosecuting, said Mr Stott, her husband of 22 years, did not support the prosecution.
The couple, who had a relatively happy marriage, had been ‘happily drinking’ in the evening with a friend.
The defendant suddenly made unkind comments about her husband’s father, telling him: ‘Your dad’s dying. So what ?’ The victim called her a name and Stott stood in front of him and hit him on the head.
Stott then knocked a glass off a table, causing it to smash, the friend started clean up and calm the situation and the defendant struck her husband a third time.
Mr Stott called the police to prevent further assault. The defendant had no previous convictions.
Mark Williams, for Stott, said her arrest, being held in the cells and appearing in court had been a harrowing experience for her.

Who guitarist reveals diverse inspirations
Pete Townshend has revealed that very diverse circumstances and conditions can inspire him to come up with a new song.
The Who guitarist described his way of approaching songwriting as "strange", as items such as a piece of computer software that makes "funky" drum sounds can trigger an idea.
He said a new guitar or experimenting with alternative tunings can also get his creative juices flowing, along with experimenting in the studio.
"The modern recording studio is as much a hobby for me as a train set or a boat," Townshend commented.
"There is a lot of childlike play in all this."
He said he also still enjoys playing electric guitar with The Who and gets a lot of fulfillment from playing to new audiences across the globe.
Townshend has written the vast majority of songs in the band's back catalogue, including My Generation, Won't Get Fooled Again, Baba O'Reilly and Substitute.Posted on 17 Jun 2009 14:46 to category : Band / Celebrity News
