The difficulties in hiring and retaining wildland firefighters which has resulted in one-third of the Forest Service firefighter positions in California being unfilled, may not be restricted to just those who directly battle the flames. The old axiom, “amateurs think strategy, generals think logistics,” does not only apply to the military. If firefighters can’t be supplied with food, water, vehicle maintenance, hose, tools, fuel, and communications they will not be successful in a long campaign.
The concept of firefighters ensuring that before they engage, they must have adequate Lookouts, Communications, Escape routes, and Safety zones (LCES) was developed by Paul Gleason. It is shorthand for combining a list of Standard Orders fire personnel must follow to protect themselves from fireline hazards such as being entrapped in the fire. According to a report on SAFENET, there was a four-day period from May 15 until May 19 when the Communications leg of LCES was not covered adequately on the Hermits Peak/Calf Canyon Fire in Northern New Mexico.
The National Situation report for May 15 shows that in the United States that day there were 10 large uncontained fires, with all of the fires in the country being staffed by a total of 4,708 personnel. When the fire season nears its peak this summer there could be five times that many people assigned to fires. But in the middle of May there was a shortage of radio technicians and radio operators which made it impossible to set up an adequate radio communications system when it was needed on the north zone of the fire following a reorganization.
I was told by mentors as I came up through the ranks that firefighting is not an emergency — not to firefighters. It’s what we do. So when the situation gets suddenly more complex and decisions must be made and executed quickly, think calmly, act decisively, and communicate clearly. At least one of these suddenly complex situations occurred on the fire. A person needed medical treatment and extraction by air. It is referred to in the SAFENET as an incident within an incident. They are usually managed separately by an offshoot organization, and they always require efficient, robust, dependable, instant communication.
The text below is taken word for word from the SAFENET. The only change we made was to translate the acronyms.
When Southwest Team 1 took command of the North Zone of the Hermits Peak/Calf Canyon Fire communications were unable to be linked with Incident Command Post (ICP). The zoning of the incident required the current radio communications system to be split. The North Zone remained on the current system with the South Zone moving to their own system. During this transition there were no radio techs to switch the repeater link for the North Zone and install the repeater to cover ICP. For a duration of 4 days, the link with communications at the ICP was ineffective. This was highlighted on 5/17 with a red medical that required extraction by air. During the Incident Within an Incident (IWI) communication were not able to function from ICP to the field and back. As the fire progressed, the repeater that was required for ICP was also needed to cover field personnel. Approximately, 300 personnel in the field had limited communications, with the only link established through a human repeater. During high fire behavior periods, several resources were forced to abandon tactics and leave the line because communications could not be established. The contributing factor, is the lack of radio techs available nationally. Orders were placed for radio techs days before transition and after transition. Orders for one week were returned unable to fill (UTF). Furthermore, radio operators were also unavailable. Orders were also placed for CAT personnel which was also UTF. The lack of communications personnel resulted in decrease support for the field and inability to coordinate IWI response and transport through ICP and the communications unit. About 1,200 firefighters were affected by the lack of communications with ICP.
The lack of communication personnel is limiting the “C” in “Lookouts, Communications, Escape Routes, Safety Zones” (LCES) and needs to be resolved at the national level. The trend of unable to fill communications personnel has progressively gotten worse over the last few years and will most likely result in incidents without communications in the future.
Immediate Action Taken
Field personnel had communications on the most fireline through the existing repeater system. Approximately, 25% of fireline personnel had no communications coverage which was unsatisfactorily resolved with a human repeater during the 4 days without a radio tech. Field Operations was utilized to coordinate response and transport for IWIs placing their self in a location with cell service and radio service. A radio tech was sent from the South Zone once their system was installed and working. That individual then moved to the North Zone on Day 4 to begin configuring the North Zone communication system. On 5/20, 4 days after transition, the North Zone communication system was operating providing coverage for ICP and the incident.
Other mitigations for correcting the problem took considerable time to no avail and included contacting commercial vendors, national guard and state compact agreements. The solutions did not pan out. Currently, land management agency fire organizations have no capacity for implementing a communications system on an incident without reliance on personnel outside of the fire organization.

Well, you ever wonder why Paypal is not coming to Pakistan or why still it has not been introduced in Pakistan. First of all, we should know that what is the benefit of Paypal, if you have Paypal account you pay for your online shopping with this account with full proof security, you can receive payments from all freelancers, you can receive money from Google add sense etc.
So there are lots of benefits if you have an account of PayPal but unfortunately, Paypal doesn’t operate in Pakistan. The reason behind for not operating in Pakistan is that it initially cost 40 Million Dollars to Paypal for installing the setup and as per their calculations Pakistan won’t be a profitable country to invest that much. They have already launched in India and as per their reports, they are still bearing the loss in India. So the authorities of Paypal are reluctant to invest in Pakistan due to their bad experience in India. On the other hand, it’s very confusing to know that how the countries like Madagascar and Ghana are giving profits to Paypal and huge countries like India and Pakistan are not or will not come up to their expectations.
They need paper proof or some solid evidence to invest in Pakistan. Well for the time being Pakistani E-commerce is having troubles in operating due to non-availability of PayPal and are using alternate sources which are a bit expensive and time taking.
A few days back the new finance minister of Pakistan has announced that Paypal or its alternate will be coming to Pakistan within few months. Let’s wait and see when is this going to happen.

The seasons and reasons of the Church calendar can shape our fasting intentions. As we travel through Epiphany-tide the themes of incarnation, light, the manifestation of Christ to the world , and the hope of Messiah’s coming kingdom. We may direct the focus of our yearnings and prayers to the fulfillment of all the words of the Prophets regarding righteousness (justice), peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit as we find them in the words of Zechariah (St, John the Baptist’s father), Mary, and Simeon.
And we may look to Anna for encouragement and inspiration:
36 And there was a prophetess, Anna, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was advanced in years, having lived with her husband seven years from when she was a virgin, 37 and then as a widow until she was eighty-four. She did not depart from the temple, worshiping with fasting and prayer night and day. 38 And coming up at that very hour she began to give thanks to God and to speak of him to all who were waiting for the redemption of Jerusalem.
The world still groans under the weight of sin and the bondage of death. May the Sun of Righteousness rise with healing in His wings.
May special blessing abide on all who exercise true fasting intentions this day.

Jewish groups in the UK and around the world extended their condolences and issued condemnations on Monday after a van plowed into a group of worshipers leaving a London mosque in the early hours of the day.
Following the incident, president of the Board of Deputies of British Jews Jonathan Arkush released a statement condemning the attack: “Our heartfelt sympathy, thoughts and prayers are with the victims.”
He mentioned that the Jewish community has spent the past weekend together with Muslims and others participating in The Great Get Together in memory of Jo Cox – a British Labor Party politician who was murdered last year by an alleged white supremacist in the lead-up to the Brexit referendum.

“All good people must stand together and join in rejecting hatred and violence from wherever it comes. The way forward is to strengthen the moderate majority and repudiate and marginalize extremism of every type,” Arkush stated. “Hatred of people because of their religion has no place in our society.”
Simon Johnson, chief executive of the Jewish Leadership Council also slammed the “vile, terrorist attack,” saying, “To target those at worship or observing their faith is a betrayal of our British values of tolerance, respect and kindness on which our society is built.”
The Jewish security organization Community Security Trust also condemned the attack and Rabbi Herschel Gluck, president of the ultra-Orthodox “neighborhood watch” Shomrim, attended a meeting at the targeted mosque together with British Prime Minister Theresa May and other faith leaders.
International Jewish umbrella organizations also expressed their shock and condemnation in public statements.
“This is an unconscionable attack on Muslim worshipers during their holy month of Ramadan,” European Jewish Congress President Dr. Moshe Kantor said. “We condemn this attack and its attempt to escalate tensions in the UK and we stand firmly besides our Muslim brothers and sisters in the aftermath of this attack.
An attack on one religion is an attack on all religions and all people and faiths must stand together against terror.”
Echoing this sentiment, World Jewish Congress president Ronald S. Lauder said: “Hatred and acts of violence are running rampant around the world, and we are living in a frightening reality in which none of us is immune to terror. We must stand together to defend the critical values of tolerance and freedom that make our society strong, and do everything in our power to fight this scourge of terrorism.
Our way of life is under attack, but we must not surrender to the intimidation of terror. We must not let these terrorists win.”

Up until very recently machines that automated the cannabis trimming process were awful.
They were not designed well, they produced cone-shaped buds and they would get gummed up with resin easily. The GreenBroz automated machine just works. It is quiet, fast and treats you buds extremely gently.

That’s www.cannainsider.com/careers. Now here’s your program.
As the cannabis industry grows cultivators are looking for better ways to automate harvest while still maintaining high quality premium plants. Today’s guest Cullen Raichart, co-founder of GreenBroz has created a machine that greatly reduces the time it takes to trim a cannabis plant. Welcome to CannaInsider Cullen.
Cullen: Matt, thank you so much for having me.
Matthew: Can you give us an idea of what GreenBroz is at a high level?
Cullen: GreenBroz is, we’re kind of an up and comer in this business, and we came across a different idea when we approached the trimming question and that is we decided to look at it as how can we do an excellent trim job more rapidly and efficiently than human beings. And that’s the impetus for our machine was. So we’re a complete manufacturing company. We make more than one product, but our flagship is definitely our trimmer.
Matthew: Okay. And where do you see other machines falling short? Because I wouldn’t get into that, but there’s a lot of sourness in the community from machines that tried in the past to help with trimming, but did a poor job on execution. And to be honest I was a little skeptical when I heard about GreenBroz, but then people started telling me how cool it was and how well it worked. I went out and saw it, and it’s really I’ve come around. But can you just describe what the other… the machines that doesn’t work optimally, why don’t they?
Cullen: Sure. Well there’s basically one other design of machine as far as dry trimmers go, and those machines are tumblers. They look like a dryer. They sit on their side, and you fill them full of product and they tumble, and your very delicate and expensive product tumbles over and over and breaks down and knocks off all the crystals and so forth. That’s basically the difference, the design of their machines. I think they really came at it differently. They looked at volume as being the problem, and while trimming volume is definitely something you need to address, again we looked at it differently.
We decided to approach it from the perspective of I mean how do you really automate detailed work. How do you automate that kind of attention to quality, and that’s what the impetus about the blade design, the whole design of the machine is about gentleness, the way that the material is put in, the way the material comes out, the amount of contact it has with the blade, the amount of time that the amount of the movement that the product has over the blade’s surface. All these things were considered because it is really about taking a very delicate product and valuable product and treating it as if you would… as you would treat it with your hand.
Matthew: Now I want to give a shout out to Dylan of Karing Kind a dispensary in Boulder. He was kind enough to let me in and show me how he used his two GreenBroz trimming machines. And I have a little video I took with my phone and some pictures that I will put on this post on the website of www.cannainsider.com. But I was amazed by a few things. One, you know, whenever an employee gets replaced by a machine it can be an uncomfortable thing, but I noticed the employees really enjoyed the machine. They don’t see it as a threat. They see it as something that helps them, and it really does help them. Two, it’s very quiet and fast. I didn’t realize that it was going to be so quiet and so fast. I was picturing something else. Now the cannabis cultivators in the past did not like how the machines made their buds cone shaped. They’d nurture this plant for 60 or 70 days, let’s say. They watch it grow these beautiful buds. They cut it and they cure it, and then they watch some machine take the bud and turn it into a cone shape in front of their eyes and it drives them crazy. What’s happening with these other machines that create the cone shaped buds, and how does GreenBroz avoid that?
Cullen: Well first thank you so much for calling out Dylan. Dylan has been just a great supporter. We really like those guys at Karing Kind. And I’m really glad you had the opportunity to go and see it. It’s such an important thing to see it. As you know, the industry and the machines have such a bad reputation that it really takes that moment, and when you see it it changes everything. It really changes your perspective on how the whole process is handled. And the reason that our machine doesn’t make consistent pine cone, as we call them, out of your product is quite simply there’s not a consistent form to the way that the product moves over the blade.
The blades are in a swept design so that… and the blade spacing is designed such that there’s not a lot of the product that gets into any one blade surface at a time. It’s like very small scissor cuts instead of if you look at the blade designs of the other machines, the tumbling machines, you’ll see that they’re very large openings and they’re very square, and square blades rolling around in a drum, make pine cones. So our blade designs gives the product the opportunity to hit every possible angle onto a blade surface and have the least removed. The distance between the top blade and the bottom blade is such that no bud material gets into that bottom blade surface.
And as far as people and, you know, automation its role in any business, the role of automation is to alleviate the tedious and time consuming task and make people more efficient. Give employers the opportunity to keep good employees on and give them better wages while getting productivity where they need to have it. Let’s face it, in this industry when you’re… if you’re not a producer who has a distribution point, your spending 10% to 20% of your final cost on trimming, and that’s just not a functional model. So what we’ve done with this machine is give you the opportunity to work inside the machine as it’s running, to work with the machine at whatever level you really want to.
So you can take a good quality employee and someone who cares about your business, cares about your product, and give them the opportunity to work on a machine and become a 1000 times more efficient. It’d take a single person in a day trimming and they trim, you know, a pound let’s say, which is probably pretty average, and then you put them on my machine, on the small machine and they can trim 16 to 30 pounds in that same timeframe and get the same quality. And that’s what’s really amazing about it is it gives you the opportunity to produce a very, very high quality product in a very short period of time. And we got lucky, to be honest with you, with the speed of the trimming on it because again we were focused on quality, it just happens to work really fast.
Matthew: Yeah. Now let’s walk through some scenarios here and some math for a dispensary owner or anybody that’s interested. So I’ve cured my plants for two to three weeks. They’re dry, and I’m ready to trim. Now you were saying that, you know, from a productivity point of view, let’s just say someone’s who’s trimming could do a pound and you’re saying with the machine they could do 16 pounds. Is that a pretty average or is that pretty normal what you see when someone purchases a machine?
Cullen: Yeah that’s right. That’s on the low end of the production scale for the small machine, but it’s very consistent, you know, that machine will consistently produce at that level. And one person can drive that machine all day long. Because of the, you know, trimming being so detailed and tedious, it’s very common that people while trimming trim very very well for the first couple of hours and then their productivity diminishes and their quality diminishes over time. The machine produces at a consistent rate from the beginning of the day to the end of the day. And you can use… a person can use a machine by letting the machine do all of the work or part of the work, or you know, any kind of amalgam there between those two things, you have a lot of freedom with it. The other machines on the market you don’t have the option to be inside it and look and see what’s going on. With this machine you’re right there. It’s right in front of you. You can stop the machine. You can unload it. You can reload it. You can do whatever you want to with it. It’s just very gentle and like you said, quiet. It’s unbelievably quiet.
Matthew: Yeah so there’s a couple benefits here to the automation in terms of you’re reducing theft risk by having less people as well because during the trim process is when a large amount of theft occurs, and I’m not saying, you know, some trimmers just don’t I guess have some integrity or whatever the situation is, but you know when you take down the number of trimmers you have you’re going to have less theft. Also I mean a trim job is typically greater than minimum wage. So this is a tremendous cost savings over time. What’s kind of the payback you typically see where they break even on the machine after they’ve invested in it?
Cullen: Well you know it’s probably dependent on how reliant the customer is on the machine. But if you look at, if you take for instance the average of about $200 per pound, and that’s a California kind of guessimation right there, but if you’re looking at $15 an hour and 8 hours a day, you’re looking at about yeah, $200 a day for that same pound. So say roughly $150 to $200 per pound for a human to trim cannabis. And then you use our machine, the machine does… if it runs at full capacity and gets its 30 pounds per day in that same timeframe, it’s paid for itself in an 8 hour shift. So you definitely have the potential to pay it off in the first day you own it, but most guys will have it definitely paid off within the first week or first full harvest that they run with the machine.
Matthew: Yeah those type of economics really are tough to argue with.
Cullen: It’s pretty astounding, Matt, when you think about it. I grew up in an industry where we bought a $750,000 piece of equipment to better our business, and you know that’s a lot of machine. That’s a lot of work you have to do to feed that machine, and then that machine has to produce above and beyond that so that you make profit. So when I looked at this machine, you know one of the biggest things about it was quality. You know, we have to have quality. We have to have reliability. You have to have consistency because a down machine, you know, ruins everything. And then the other thing is like return on investment because I watched my parents struggle with the cost of a big huge printing press, and I don’t want to put people in that situation. And we might be on the other side of that as far as return on investment, I don’t think you’ll find anything, any piece of equipment that produces at this level that returns that quickly. But, you know, it is what it is and we think the value point is right.
Matthew: Now what about cleaning the machine because as we know if you’re wearing rubber gloves for example and you are doing trimming by hand, you get the oil all over the gloves and the scissors and everything, the resin. So what do you do, how do you clean the machine? How often does it need to be cleaned? Does it get gummed up pretty regularly? How does that work?
Cullen: Well that’s another beautiful thing about trimming dry. You know once you’ve properly dried the product, it reduces that really tackiness to it. It still has, you know, the stickiness in the tricomes but you have to squeeze the bud a little bit to get that stickiness. So we’re not putting any real pressure on the bud so you don’t get a lot of stick into the machine itself. So we have guys that trim and they’ll trim all day and they’ll not clean the machine. And we have guys that will clean the machine once in the middle of the day and then we have one customer who doesn’t clean the machine. He’s had it for four months and he’s never cleaned it.
So yeah that’s kind of amazing to me, but that’s the nature of it. I mean you know, with a dry trimmer and the lack of… we don’t have a downward pressure. We don’t mash the products and we’re not really taking any of the, you know, we’re not putting any pressure onto the tricomes so we’re not causing any of that stickiness. So you will get some build up, and if your product isn’t properly dry, you can get some leaves that smash between the two blade surfaces and you get some streaking, and that’s when you have to you know, pull the machine apart and you just take the top blade out and put a little light coat of oil on it and scrape it with a razor blade, and then put it back together. The little machine takes about 5 to 10 minutes depending on how deep of clean you want to put on it, and then a large machine takes 10 to 15 minutes depending again how detailed you want to be.
Matthew: And how much do the different machines, different sizes cost for each machine?
Cullen: So the MSRP on the small machine is $5,250 and the large machine, I think, on the MSRP is at $10,500. I apologize. We just updated this year so I don’t have that off the top of my head.
Matthew: So how much thru-put can go through the small machine versus the large one?
Cullen: So the small machine is 16 to 30 pounds in a day. And then the large machine does 8 to 10 pounds in an hour or I should say 8 to 12 pounds in an hour. We’ve had that machine, it’s really dependent on product preparation. So if your product is properly dry it trims it so fast it’s kind of unbelievable how quick it operates, and then again so gentle. If you’re getting 10 pounds out of it, you’re getting 80 pounds a day, and if you’re getting 12, you’re getting 100 so it’s pretty good.
Matthew: And so all these precious leaves that now can be extracted into concentrates, there’s an easy way to get it. Either you just pull open a drawer at the bottom of the machine essentially and it’s all there.
Cullen: That’s right. So the small machine was designed actually with another product of ours in mind which is a dry/sift tumbler. That machine was designed to sit on top of that product, and it still does. What we found though was that people loved that machine and they do a lot of different things with their trim which is great. So we made that machine pretty much the right size. It can sit on its stand. It can sit on our tumbler. It can sit on a tote. It can sit on a trashcan with a trash liner, and basically all the trim just falls directly below it. There’s no vacuum. There’s no pressure. There’s no anything. It’s just a gravity feed as it falls right down into the next place where you can do whatever you want to with it.
Interesting note about that. We’re finding and actually doing some work with a couple of the big CO2 companies in regard to the actual size, the particle size. The trim is so fine and so perfect it makes really really good extraction trim if you will. So we’re looking at that and looking with some big partners to see if they’ll recommend it for that purpose alone.
Matthew: That’s a good idea. Now for people that are trying to visualize how big these machines are, can you give them some context there?
Cullen: Sure so the small machine is a desktop machine. If you figure a large… well they’re smaller now, but they used to be your scanner/copier/fax machine was a pretty good size piece of equipment, but it sat on your desk so it wasn’t huge. So you’re looking at about 16 inches wide and 20 inches deep. And so it’s pretty portable. It’s easy to carry. Easy one person lift. The larger machine, the commercial machine is 34X37 inches and comes on its own stand with wheels, and has locking casters on it so you can put it in a place and lock it down. The stand on the big machine has a couple of options with it. You can just put a 35 gallon bag up underneath it. It has a rail for the bag to attach where you can put a tote under it, whatever you want to do.
We’re always thinking about how to make it easy, you know, machines should be simple. And that’s what we tried to make is simple and easy and efficient. So we’re always looking at adding little bits of simplicity to help our customers work more efficiently.
Matthew: Now what would you say to the purists out there, you know, they only hand trim under moonlight with the classical music playing, and they can’t you know, even think about the idea of allowing their precious flower into a machine? How do you get them to think about this a different way?
Cullen: Well it’s an economic consideration right. I really appreciate first of all people who take that time, the diligence and the time to look at it from that perspective. And you’ll always have people who are artisans and an artisan can do a much better job on an individual basis, but that’s limited. Not very many people can trim at that level, and especially trim crews. They don’t perform at that level consistently throughout the day, but my machine does. And if you look at, we do have some lab results online, coming up online that show that our machine, actually the THC content for hand trim versus our machine comes out higher from our machine. So that’s been… that’s only a couple of lab tests, and it’s by and independent person who purchased one of our machines and decided to prove whether or not it was as gentle as hand trimming and he proved it twice with two different products. So it was pretty exciting for us to look at it and see an actual difference in our favor as far as you know, THC content after trim.
Matthew: Now Cullen in closing how can listeners see your machine in action and learn more about GreenBroz?
Cullen: Well you can always go to our website at www.greenbroz.com. It’s a great portal. We have some video coming up online and there’s information there of course. There’s some videos out there you can find on YouTube as well. We just finished up a great demo video that’s going to get posted here shortly. You know the real powerful moment is when you see it, and videos are great, but they don’t tell a story as well as being in person. So we do have representatives in Colorado, California, Washington, Oregon who can come out and do demos and show people how the machine works, specifically on their product and in their environment. So our model, our business model right now is a direct sale model with supporting our sales people in the different states, and then we also have some retail locations who carry our product.
Matthew: Okay. Well Cullen thanks so much for being on CannaInsider today and educating us. We really appreciate it.
Cullen: Well Matt thanks so much for having us and it’s just such a pleasure to actually see how big this business has become and then neat people like you that are out here spreading the word and then bringing companies like ours out to the forefront. So thank you so much.

Wilko Johnson underwent an operation to remove a cancerous tumour after an initial diagnosis was proved to be inaccurate.
Yesterday (April 30th), a spokesman confirmed the former Dr. Feelgood guitarist had cancelled his live plans for the summer in order to have what was described as a ‘medical procedure’ relating to the pancreatic cancer he decided not to seek treatment for in 2012.
And in a new interview with GQ, Johnson has explained further that first reports from doctors which declared the tumour ‘inoperable’ were revised after ‘a friend became curious as to why he wasn’t dead’.
“I was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer at the end of 2012,” Johnson recalled. “I had ten months to live. Chemotherapy could perhaps stretch it to another couple of months. It was not difficult to decide I didn’t want this chemotherapy,”
“October was my deadline,” he continued. “If I can use that word, but October had come and gone and a friend of mine – who is both a photographer and a cancer doctor – became curious as to why I wasn’t dead. And why I wasn’t even sick.”
The tumour was found to be ‘neuroendocrine’, a less aggressive form than originally thought. “It’s unreal to me,” Johnson said. “I’m going to have to readjust my mind as well as my body.”

Here's a question that suddenly became a new worry for global markets: Do the British want to leave the EU?
Late Sunday evening, Mayor of London Boris Johnson revealed he would vote in favor of the "Brexit" (a British exit from the European Union) in Britain's EU membership referendum scheduled for June 23.
His comments sent the British pound tumbling down 1.85% on Monday – a seven-year low – against the U.S. dollar. It ended its plummet at $1.42 from $1.44. This kind of market reaction, reported Fortune yesterday, indicates that investors are spooked by the uncertainty surrounding a Brexit.
You see, despite the euro crisis playing out right now, the EU is the world's largest market. If the European economy is adversely affected, it will have substantial ripple effects on global markets.
This uncertainty is one reason British Prime Minister David Cameron has been pushing for Britain to stay in the EU…
He made a statement Monday afternoon in response to Johnson's declaration. Addressing the House of Commons – the lower house of Parliament – Cameron warned that leaving the European Union "could hurt working people for years to come," reported BBC News.
The "Brexit" argument (and subsequent referendum) centers on the idea that belonging to the European Union either undermines British "sovereignty" – or it doesn't. Those who want the Brexit hope that the UK would be better able to control immigration without EU bureaucracy interfering. Furthermore, pro-Brexiters believe the UK would be able to conduct its own trade negotiations, free from unnecessary EU regulations.
Those in favor of remaining in the EU argue that leaving would risk the UK's influence in world affairs – and result in trade barriers.
Johnson's and Cameron's public rift has created a split between members of the same conservative party.
That rift is just as apparent among the citizens of Great Britain…
According to a Feb. 20 IBTimes survey, the British public is almost evenly split on the issue of a Brexit of as well…
The Markets Will Crash Again: The cracks are already showing. But the impending collapse is also an opportunity. By understanding these five "Super Crash" inevitabilities and making key adjustments, investors can protect their portfolios from the downside while positioning for the upside.

Mesut Ozil has been named in Arsenal`s starting line-up against Liverpool in the Carabao Cup fourth round.
Liverpool vs Arsenal
October 30, 2019, 7:00pm
The Germany midfielder has not featured for the Gunners since the 5-0 win over Nottingham Forest on September 24 in the previous round, but he is one of 11 changes made to the side that drew 2-2 with Crystal Palace.
Ozil has been absent from Unai Emery`s squad for five weeks, but having travelled to Merseyside with the rest of the squad, the 31-year-old now has the opportunity to cement his place in the side with a good performance at Anfield.
There is no Granit Xhaka after he was left out of the squad by Emery after the Switzerland international was booed off the pitch by home supporters at the Emirates on Saturday as the Gunners squandered a two-goal lead.
Hector Bellerin captains the side in Xhaka`s absence, while Emery recalls several of the players who started in the 3-2 win over Vitoria in the Europa League last Thursday.
Goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez, Rob Holding, Shkodran Mustafi and Sead Kolasinac complete the defence.
Joe Willock, Bukayo Saka and Ainsley Maitland-Niles are given another chance in midfield alongside Ozil and Lucas Torreira, while Gabriel Martinelli starts up front.
Analysis: It will be good to see Ozil having an influence
Former Arsenal striker Alan Smith told Sky Sports:
There will be a lot of eyes on Arsenal, and a lot of eyes on Ozil and how he plays.
With the captaincy thing, there are five nominated in that dressing room, and he is clearly not within the circle of trust as it were in terms of the squad to attack the Premier League.
From Ozil`s point of view, he`s got to try to reach the standards that he can, and I`m not a fan of leaving him out of every matchday squad.
I`ve felt like he has always been worth having at least on the bench,even if the manager feels he doesn`t fit into the style of play that he wants.
He`s such a talented play so it`s good to see him in the squad and it would be good to see him having an influence on this match.
Can Ozil regain favour under Emery?
Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher:
I don`t think so to be honest. I don`t think the manger likes him purely due to certain bits about his game.
Emery has been there for 18 months and Ozil`s played a handful of games this season. I don`t think him coming here tonight and lighting up Anfield will make any difference.
It might bring him closer, and he is the most famous player on show tonight as a World Cup winner but I don`t think it will make much difference under this Arsenal manager.
Klopp makes wholesale changes
Jurgen Klopp has made 11 changes to the side that beat Tottenham 2-1 at Anfield last Sunday.
As expected, Caoimhin Kelleher returns in goal having played in the previous round against MK Dons.
Joe Gomez returns to the defence alongside Sepp van den Berg, who earns a first start for the club since joining in the summer.
Neco Williams makes his senior debut while Rhian Brewster and Harvey Elliott make up a youthful attack.
James Milner, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Adam Lallana and Divock Origi provide some experience for the hosts.
Liverpool: Kelleher; Williams, Gomez, Van den Berg, Milner; Lallana, Keita, Oxlade-Chamberlain; Elliott, Origi, Brewster.
Subs: Adrian, Jones, Kane, Larouci, Chirivella, Clarkson, Koumetio.
Arsenal: Martinez; Bellerin, Holding, Mustafi, Kolasinac; Torreira, Willock; Maitland-Niles, Ozil, Saka; Martinelli.
Subs: Macey, Sokratis, Tierney, Guendouzi, Ceballos, Pepe, Lacazette.
Follow the Carabao Cup across Sky Sports
On Wednesday, there will be two Carabao Cup games live on Sky Sports. Liverpool host Arsenal - live on Sky Sports Football from 7pm; kick-off 7.30pm - while Manchester United visit Chelsea - live on Sky Sports Main Event, also from 7pm; kick-off 8.05pm.

Health Care Cuts in Schwarzenegger Budget Proposal Draw Criticism
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's (R) budget proposal for fiscal year 2008-2009 is drawing criticism from Democratic lawmakers and interest groups, including stakeholders who maintain that billions of dollars in cuts to health care services are shortsighted, the Los Angeles Times reports (Rau/Halper, Los Angeles Times, 1/12).
According to the San Francisco Chronicle, addressing public health and welfare spending can be challenging for lawmakers because the cost of such programs is closely related to enrollment. Reining in costs often requires lawmakers to reduce benefits or services (Chorneau, San Francisco Chronicle, 1/13).
In the proposal, the governor advocates cutting about $1.1 billion in state funds from Medi-Cal, California's Medicaid program, partly by cutting reimbursements to health care providers by 10%. The proposal also would eliminate Medi-Cal coverage of:
- Dental care for adults;
- Podiatry; and
- Vision and hearing services.
The governor's budget projects that ending dental benefits for adult Medi-Cal beneficiaries would save the state about $115 million.
However, Samuel Gruenbaum -- CEO of Western Dental Services, California's largest Denti-Cal provider -- said the cut would push many beneficiaries to seek dental care in hospital emergency departments.
Schwarzenegger's budget also seeks to cut about $11 million from programs for people with HIV/AIDS, eliminating coverage of some medications (Fernandez, San Francisco Chronicle, 1/12).
The Community Care Licensing Division, the state agency that inspects adult residential care facilities and child care facilities, would see a budget cut of about $4.7 million through mid-2009. The loss of funds would force the division to inspect facilities less often, aiming to visit facilities once every seven years instead of once every five years, the current standard.
Under the governor's budget proposal, programs aimed at monitoring communicable diseases and providing vaccinations would lose about $6.6 million.
Funding for efforts to diagnose and treat chronic diseases would be cut by $3.5 million.
In addition, Schwarzenegger proposed closing one hearing office of the Occupational Safety and Health Standards Board, the agency that enforces California laws on workplace health and safety.
The move would reduce the number of complaints the board processes by about 1,000. The board currently is experiencing a backlog of 3,000 cases (Los Angeles Times, 1/12).
Legislative Analyst Elizabeth Hill will release her review of the governor's budget proposal today, and the Senate and Assembly budget committees will hold hearings Thursday.
Assembly Budget Committee Chair John Laird (D-Santa Cruz) said he expects lawmakers to hold a series of meetings statewide to collect public input on the proposals (Lawrence, AP/San Francisco Chronicle, 1/13).
The budget is expected to dominate the legislative session this year, and Assembly Speaker Fabian Núñez (D-Los Angeles) said health care reform might be the only other major legislative effort undertaken this year.
Nonetheless, both Democrats and Republicans are intent on pursuing other legislation. Within the health care realm, Democrats want to increase state oversight of health insurers, while Republicans want to raise Medi-Cal payments for health care providers (Vogel/McGreevy, Los Angeles Times, 1/13).
On Friday, KPCC's "Air Talk" included a discussion of the governor's budget proposal. The segment includes comments from:
- Elizabeth Goldstein, president of the California State Parks Foundation;
- Jack O'Connell, state superintendent of Public Instruction for California;
- Kent Scheidegger of the Criminal Justice Foundation; and
- Anthony Wright, executive director of Health Access California (Mantle, "Air Talk," KPCC, 1/12).

The release of growth hormone (GH) and cAMP was studied in superfused rat pituitary cells by infusing growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) at different doses or a combination of GHRH and somatostatin 14 (SS-14). Three- minute pulses of GHRH caused a dose-dependent GH and cAMP release (effective concentration of 50% of the maximal biological effect is 0.21 nM and 52.5 nM, respectively). The lowest effective doses of GHRH in the superfusion system were 0.03 nM for GH release and 0.3 nM for cAMP discharge when 3-min pulses were applied. The amount of cAMP liberated from the cells was not proportional to GH release: cAMP responses to low doses of GHRH were disproportionally small, and the gradual increase in the release of cAMP after high doses of GHRH was not followed by a parallel rise in GH release. The desensitization induced by repeated pulses or prolonged infusion of GHRH resulted in a greater reduction in GH release than in cAMP liberation. A simultaneous infusion of SS-14 completely blocked GH release stimulated by GHRH but did not inhibit the immediate release of cAMP caused by GHRH. An abrupt decrease in GHRH-stimulated GH release induced by SS-14 was followed by only a minimal reduction in cAMP liberation 9 min later. Our findings indicate that a discharge of cAMP is stimulated after a GHRH pulse, but this effect alone cannot maintain the release of GH. Other steps of the signal transduction mechanisms that are independent of the cAMP route may participate in the process of GH release. The nature of the mechanisms involved in the mediation of GH release may vary with the doses of GHRH used.

Yesterday, while watching the news, I was on the verge of tears. I saw many hundreds of Iranian students, chanting out loud with passion and vigor: “Release our country!” in sacred protestation against their country’s oppressive and vile regime. This supreme act of civil disobedience was perpetrated in broad daylight, and in open defiance of the despotic regime.
As the students marched and chanted, they also took care to avoid stepping on the large American and Israei flags, which were placed on the ground for people to trample upon.
In our Torah portion this week, we read about the first recorded act of civil disobedience in Jewish consciousness – the refusal of the two Jewish midwives, Shifra and Puah, to pursue the genocidal policies of the Pharaoh. The midwives in the Torah, like the demonstrating students in Teheran this week, heeded that which philosopher Martin Heidegger called: “The call of conscience.”
Throughout the millennia and the tumultuous vicissitudes of human history, from the ancient days of Pharaoh’s Egypt, to the brave students in Khamenei’s Iran today, people who courageously rise up against tyranny and oppression, place their very physical existence in peril.
As we watch and observe the sacrifice and ideological endurance of these students on our screens, sheltered by an oceanic buffer thousands of miles away, let us express our admiration for them, and also – let us articulate our moral and spiritual solidarity and support for them.
This Shabbat, as in every Shabbat, consider praying also for the safety and success of these brave men and women, who echo with their bravery from across the centuries, the timeless words of the poet Hafiz: “We have not come here to take prisoners, but to surrender ever more deeply to freedom and to joy.”
Their eventual political success would not only usher in a novel era of liberty and freedom to their beloved homeland, but also – it would make the world entire, a more secure and stable geo-political environment for all of us to inhabit.
May Hashem protect these protestors and safeguard their souls, as they further pursue their worthy endeavor, of ridding their country of the yoke of tyranny and of the sin of despotism, and may we all live to see, bezrat Hashem and speedily in our time, the political emancipation of their great nation.
In the words of the Passover Haggadah, may we all behold very soon, and with our very eyes, the entire nation of Iran and its distinguished Persian civilization, transformed and liberated, “from slavery to freedom, and from darkness – to a great and luminous light.”

According to a just-released study by UC Berkeley researchers, based primarily on airport cloudbank measurements, fog in summer is less prevalent in Northern California over the last hundred years, down by about a third, which could threaten the beautiful, iconic redwoods of the northern California Coast.
A couple of qualifications; first, as the new study by James Johnstone and Todd Dawson notes, this does not match results from all the previous research. Work by Robert Bornstein's team at San Jose State found more wind and fog in the summer along the California coast in the last thirty years. Their argument is that more anthropogenic heat in the hotter interior regions of the state leads to a bigger thermal low, thus pulling more ocean air and more wind and fog across the coastal mountains.
Johnstone and Dawson. by contrast, link the decline in fog to the Pacific Decadal Oscillation.
Second, the trend looks alarming over the last century, but over the last fifty years it's not so evident, and (unlike, for instance, the decline in arctic ice). Interestingly, the fog levels look today not so different from those of the l950's, when the PDO was also negative, as it is now.
Nonetheless, for those of us who love redwoods, this is troubling news.
Redwoods are to fog as fish are to the sea…

Xquisite Force began as what happens when an audiovisual thread is woven from collaborator to collaborator, exquisite corpse style. The resulting images and music have produced a stunning, futuristic compilation – and a benefit for Beirut.
Let’s begin with the premiere – one short but stunning link in the audiovisual chain, from artists Bonebrokk and Soyun Park.
Also coverage of the project and benefit in Arabic:
A Beirut benefit, a different approach to construction
There’s something both incongruous and perhaps hopeful about saying that something with a Beirut benefit is futuristic. Everyone I talk to who is connected to the Lebanese capital has expressed utter anguish and frustration at aftermath of the explosion and a country breaking under the weight of corruption and negligence. The future seems the furthest topic from the discussion. Some residents are simply looking to get out and leave the city or leave Lebanon. In doing so, they would follow a tradition that over recent generations has left 6-9 million people of Lebanese descent outside the country, compared to about 4 million inside. (To some of which I say, thanks for doing something that’s the reason I was born.)
But I would defend the notion of compilations as taking on public benefit. It’s easy to see this as a kind of trend, but it has in the past months recast music-making as something that includes awareness of others, and made connections between producers and scenes. Even if that’s a symbolic gesture, it’s one that can help overcome some feelings of aloneness or powerlessness in complex times. (This approach also obviously solves the otherwise messy issues of dividing up revenue from compilations, which often slices up revenue so many times as to matter little anyway. It has the practical benefit of drawing those resources together and then passing on their value.)
In the case of Xquisite Force, a project of the AV platform SFX helmed by Zoë Mc Pherson with visualist Alessandra Leone, there’s a collective model both for input and output. (The dynamic duo have helped make this project so rich – in this case Zoë on curation, Ale on design.)
On the output side, proceeds have gone to Haven for Artists and Beit El Baraka. The latter of those is still running, building on its existing mission of providing self-sufficiency to families denied it by Lebanon’s non-functioning government (“criminal” is the word that comes up a lot). That work began before the explosion, in a country where basic rights were stripped by negligence, a crisis in itself. As SFX describe it:
All proceeds from sales of the compilation will go directly to two organisations in Beirut: Haven for Artists -who focus on supporting migrants, women and LGBTQI people- and Beit El Baraka. In the wake of the explosion on August 4th, which has compounded already-dire social and economic problems in the city, these two organisations are providing food and shelter and financial, medical and psychological assistance to those who need it most.
But the input model bears mentioning, too. Here it’s just about opening creative involvement, but the results are dazzling, and it shows how people can work together on a compilation in a way that goes beyond just “hey, send me a WAV file at -6 dB.”
Exquisite corpse, but it’s AV
The basic idea of an exquisite corpse aka cadavre exquis is pretty fundamental – you start some writing, pass it on to someone else who continues, and so on collaboratively through a group. No one sees the whole picture, just the connecting bits. Apparently the Surrealists are the ones who gave it its macabre current term, from a phrase they generated with the game – “Le cadavre exquis boira le vin nouveau.” (“The exquisite corpse shall drink the new wine”). (Thanks, Wikipedia / source!) But this business of working together on parts without seeing the whole until the end I have no doubt came before the Surrealists.
The compilation has grown out of that process – with a terrific, diverse mix of producers from multiple continents, as Aho Ssan, Bonebrokk, Ciarra Black, Désir d’enfant, ELLLL, Flore, Forces, Glass, Gramrcy, Holy Similaun, Hulubalang, John Object, Katie Gately, Klahrk & Ship Sket, KMRU, Luke Lund, Simon Grab & Zoë Mc Pherson feat. Dali de Saint Paul and ZULI all contribute tracks.
The results are somewhere between organic and synthetic, colliding surfaces and rapid-fire stretched digital textures, squishy bubbling percussion and dizzying harmonies. This is frenetic production virtuosity from hyperactive, detail-obsessed creators – matching the eye-popping visuals.
But it’s just one outcome – the packed alien life that has spawned just this generation. The results of Xquisite Force continue growing, a thread without any particular end. The project is sequential, but otherwise blind as artists past from one to another – spawning releases like this first compilation as they go.
As it’s going, you can open each node and learn about the artist and their ideas. There’s a sequence – insight from the artist, input to the next artist. It’s an exquisite corpse, but also a way of passing impulses from one artist to another – passed notes, or trigger signals like connected control voltage. (They call them “Added Inputs.”)
Meet the artists
Soyun, aka RGBdog, and Mario Naris, aka Bonebrokk, premiere their segment here on CDM at top. Let’s say hello (virtually, so really no chance of catching anything):
Soyun Park is an interdisciplinary artist, designer and founder of an audio-visual community studio RGBdog. She grew up in South Korea, now based in The Hague, The Netherlands.
How is technology affecting and changing human discourses — from the very individual level — body movement, relationships, way of living to architecture, communities and politics?
She is interested in how reality is reflecting the digital era and how the influenced virtual space and culture reflect back to reality. In her practice with audio-visuals, she often films spontaneously and bring it to digital software such as TouchDesigner. With this process, most of the time the captured reality in films develops its shape with computational inspiration and experimentation in the virtual space, concluded with, again, the depiction of reality.
And from Greece, the sounds:
Bonebrokk is the personal project of Marios Naris, a sound artist based in Athens, Greece.
He is the founder of the label/club night/platform Trial & Error, which originally started as home for his own productions.
Having spent the last couple of years meticulously crafting his personal sound, 2020 finds him in top form with 2 EPs scheduled for release within the year and a brand new live show based on current and future material.
Definitely pick up the release. As for Beirut, you can also still support Beit El Baraka directly. I have some updates on how these efforts are going from some of the various organizations working in relief.

Sounds like cold water solenoid is not opening all the way, its easy to replace, and is found inside the wash machine where the hose connects
Posted on Apr 25, 2009
If you lay the drain hose down into a bucket does water come out fairly quickly?
If so then it is not a blockage
You may have a coin or other small object in the pump which stops the impeller turning so no pumping action
Only solution is to check if the pump is free to turn either via the filter opening or taking the back panel off (Remove power before doing so ) and turning the pump by hand (there will be a fan blade on the end which is connected directly to the impeller.
If that will not turn very easily then you need to take off the hoses and check what is happening with the pump unit

Cultural appropriation rears its ugly head during Halloween season. Addressing cultural appropriation during the Halloween season is an issue discussed every year, yet it seems the message is never taken seriously.
The common justification for an individual’s participation in cultural appropriation is that it is appreciation. But there is a fine line between the two, and it is unfailingly crossed each year.
Cultural appropriation refers to the use of objects or elements of a non-dominant culture in a way that doesn’t respect their original meaning, does not give credit to their source, reinforces stereotypes or contributes to the cycle of oppression. On the other hand, cultural appreciation refers to an individual’s honor and respect for another’s traditions. Appreciation requires one to listen and seek education that will help one understand more clearly the aspects of a culture. Cultural appropriation is the complete opposite — instead of an eagerness to educate oneself, it highlights the ignorance that an individual has.
Cultural appropriation is rooted in colonialism, as colonial culture required indigenous or foreign cultures to assimilate into colonial life. This resulted in people borrowing certain aspects of one’s culture that are often rooted in underlying pain of a marginalized group without realizing where the linkage comes from. When we fail to acknowledge that different cultures have experienced different histories, we open ourselves up to a blissful and detrimental ignorance that could be solved/fixed/addressed with education.
For example, non-Native American children dressing as Pocahontas is problematic for a number of reasons. Pocahontas was not just a character that Disney created, but a Native American woman whose kidnapping and rape has been romanticized. Unfortunately, she represents what happened to many Native American women during colonial times. Romanticizing her story only allows for the suppression of the truth surrounding this narrative to continue. The point is that the Native American experience is more than a cheap buckskin dress, plastic beads and faux feathers.
Native American culture is not a costume and the tragedy of Pocahontas should not be claimed or celebrated.
And if you are thinking of doing blackface, do not.
Blackface is the practice of deliberately using dark makeup to imitate the appearance of a Black person. It has become a major issue on college campuses during Halloween and other campus events as well. The origins of blackface can be traced back to minstrel shows. The first minstrel shows were performed in New York in the 1830s by white performers who used burnt cork or shoe polish to blacken their faces and wore tattered clothing to mimic enslaved Africans on Southern plantations. These performances characterized Blacks as lazy, ignorant, superstitious, hypersexual and prone to thievery and cowardice.
So not only is blackface rooted in racism, but it is offensive because we cannot wipe our skin off at the end of the day. We are born Black and will die Black, and the injustices that come with having darker skin are not to be taken lightly.
Additionally, there is something unsettling about demons, ghosts and zombies standing next to people dressed as geishas, ninjas and those in hula skirts during Halloween, as associating cultural wear with these fictional characters can perpetrate the idea those part of these cultures are scary, violent and beastly.
So, to those planning to partake in Halloween festivities, understand that there are ways to appreciate a culture without turning them into costumes. Taking the initiative to research your costume and making sure it is appropriate is a great place to start combatting this issue.
We need to recognize the harmful stereotypes cultural appropriation perpetuates and avoid taking part in it. Unfortunately, the responsibility to call out offensive actions often falls on the shoulders of the offended party, which is why allyship requires more than not doing something — it is action based as well. Helping to call out cultural appropriation and help educate the public on why cultural appropriation is wrong will help make a difference as well.

Some eyebrows were raised late last week on word that a senior Republican on the Senate Appropriations Committee had told people of a curiously early agreement involving an add-on to the expected Spring Continuing Resolution funding the government for the rest of FY 2011. That is, inclusion of Sen. Jay Rockefeller’s two-year delay of the Obama EPA’s devastating set of ‘global warming’ regulations. These rules that just took effect January 2, described by the regulated community simply as “the train wreck”, are the administration’s main ‘other way to skin the cat’ of the failed cap-and-trade legislation.
If this pact supposedly struck by this senator from the Tennessee Valley is true, by begging a legislative deal to replace cap-and-trade as opposed to killing the regulatory enterprise, this would stitch-up a win for the Democrats, taking the wind out of the sails of an effort by House Republicans to return the Clean Air Act to the way it was interpreted for 35 years before a 5-4 Supreme Court unleashed the current regulatory crisis (on April Fool’s Day, 2007). That opinion in Mass. v. EPA said that EPA can regulate anything as an air pollutant under the Clean Air Act, including pure oxygen. This will disappoint many House Republicans and Tea Partiers.
