|Women’s Kia Super League 2019|
|Dates: 6 August – 1 September|
Western Storm maintained their 100% record in the Kia Super League with a big win against Yorkshire Diamonds.
Storm romped to a nine-wicket win at York as opening pair Rachel Priest (72) and Smriti Mandhana (70) put on 133 in their chase of 152.
Southern Vipers and Lancashire Thunder finished in a thrilling tie at Hove as both sides made 132 in their 20 overs.
Elsewhere, Surrey Stars fell to a first defeat as Loughborough Lightning beat them by seven wickets at Guildford.
At the halfway point of the group stage, 2017 champions Western Storm already have a strong chance of finishing top and qualifying automatically for the final at Hove on Sunday 1 September.
Their latest win came with 31 balls to spare as they made light work of Yorkshire’s 151-9 in which Hollie Armitage top-scored with 59 off 56 balls.
New Zealand wicketkeeper Priest registered a second successive half-century while India’s Mandhana made her highest score of the competition this season.
Southern Vipers made Sussex rather than Hampshire their “home” for the night and the visit of winless Lancashire Thunder to Hove.
It looked like being a happy trip to the seaside for Thunder when they reduced Vipers to 24-4 in their defence of 132-7.
But Stafanie Taylor (51) and Maia Bouchier (40) put on 94 for the fourth wicket to bring the equation down to 15 needed off 11 balls.
Taylor fell first to England slow left-armer Sophie Ecclestone before Bouchier was run out by the same player five balls later with Vipers needing 12 off the last over.
Amanda-Jade Wellington then hit Emma Lamb for successive fours off the first two balls before she was stumped with four still needed off three.
Tash Farrant scrambled a couple more but was then bowled by Lamb off the penultimate ball.
That left wicketkeeper Carla Rudd needing to hit two off the last delivery, but she and Fi Morris could only scramble a single and the points were shared.
Vipers sit second after that epic finish, nine points behind the leaders Storm while Lancashire stay bottom.
Surrey lost their grip on second place as they stuttered to 120-7 having been put in by Loughborough. Despite reducing the visitors to 31-3, 121 was never going to be enough of a target to defend.
Mignon du Preez (70 not out) and Georgia Adams (34 not out) put on an unbeaten 92 for the fourth wicket.
Loughborough sit a point behind Surrey in fourth with two wins from their five games.

SPECIAL TO THE TIMES
Thanks to the generosity of Times readers, local companies, organizations and charitable foundations, The Times 2010 Holiday Appeal has raised a total of $92,247 in support of the Rescue Mission of Trenton.
“The Times is grateful for the overwhelming support of this Holiday Appeal,” said Brian Malone, publisher and editor of The Times. “It’s a reflection on the great work being done day in and day out by the dedicated folks at the Rescue Mission. And it’s also a reflection on the generosity of our readers who came through in very difficult economic times.”
“The community’s response to this year’s Times Holiday Appeal has exceeded our most optimistic expectations,” said Mary Gay Abbott-Young, CEO of Rescue Mission of Trenton. “We recognize that these continue to be very difficult times for many in our community, and for this reason, we especially appreciate the generosity shown to the Mission by individuals, area companies and area foundations,” she said.
“We would also like to express our heartfelt appreciation to Hutchinson Industries for its continued support of the Mission and its most generous $25,000 upfront challenge grant,” continued Abbott-Young. “We have no doubt that this jump-started the campaign and contributed to its overall success,” she said.
“On behalf of the Mission staff and clients, I want to especially thank the dozens of individuals who took the time to make wonderful comments about the programs and services offered by the Mission,” she said. “Their kind words meant a great deal to all of us.
“Last, but not least, we want to thank The Times and its compassionate publisher/editor, Brian Malone, for being a wonderful neighbor for so many years and for selecting the Mission as this year’s Holiday Appeal recipient. We wish Brian the best as he embarks on the next pages of his life. We will miss him. We also want to thank Laurie Pellichero, Times promotions manager, for the many stories she wrote and her help in shepherding the campaign.

The NBA will announce the starters for the 2013 All-Star Game on Thursday, January 17 on TNT, and there will surely be some controversy over who got snubbed. Between fan voting and coach selections, worthy players are certain to fall through the cracks.
So, when predicting the game, it's important to remember that life isn't always fair. A player in a big market often gets the nod over a guy in a small city. A player who's been famous for a long time is chosen over a newcomer.
This year, we're lucky in that so many fan selections are lining up with guys who actually deserve to go, a reality that couldn't have happened without fan favorites Carmelo Anthony and Kobe Bryant playing some of the best basketball of their careers.
Ahead, you'll also find some speculation as to whom the coaches will select as reserves when the time comes.

(Oct. 29, 2021) A series of policy statements on crypto assets activities by banks is forthcoming from federal banking regulators, the chairman of the FDIC Board said this week, as the agencies coordinate policies on how banks can engage in the developing technology.
FDIC Board Chairman Jelena McWilliams said her agency has been engaged with the Federal Reserve and the OCC and that a series of policy statements on crypto assets will be issued “in the upcoming months,” she said, focusing mostly on stablecoins.
“In order to realize the potential benefits stablecoins have to offer, while accounting for potential risks, stablecoins should be subject to well-tailored government oversight,” McWilliams said. “That oversight should rest on the foundation that stablecoins issued from outside the banking sector are truly backed 1:1 by safe, highly liquid assets.”
The FDIC Board chairman said her objective is to provide clear guidance to the public on how the agencies’ existing rules and policies apply to crypto assets, what types of activities are permissible for banks to engage in, and what supervisory expectations the agencies have for banks that do engage in such activities.
She used stablecoins as an example of a crypto asset that needs particular attention, especially in the wake of what she called “a dramatic increase” in the use of the assets, primarily to facilitate converting crypto assets into fiat currency.
She said if stablecoin issuers claim to have reserves available on demand to satisfy withdrawal requests, “regulators should have authority to ensure the funds are there, specifically if such issuers are large enough that a stablecoin ‘run’ could result in financial instability.”
“There are other potential risks we must be cognizant of, such as ensuring operational resilience and preventing money laundering,” she said. “Establishing clear regulatory expectations will be paramount to give this market an opportunity to grow and mature in a responsible manner.”

Pavel Seviarynets works for two at a warehouse
10:29, — Politics
People with an active civic stand consider their duty to monthly visit Pavel, who is serving a term in a special commandant’s office number 7 in a village of Kuplin in the Pruzhany district.
They consider it little but very important for the political prisoner to communicate with Pavel, to bring him a parcel with food, the human rights center Viasna reports.
This time Pavel shared his impressions of the Pope envoy’s visit as well as his hopes for the release of the political prisoners, first of all Ales Bialiatski, Dzmitry Dashkevich, Mikalai Statkevich and Yauhen Vaskovich, who are having the hardest times now. Also the question of the elections 2015 was discussed.
It is worth mentioning that at the current moment Pavel Seviarynets is working alone at a warehouse which is why he gets tired very much.
According to Pavel, to understand that one needs to imagine a supermarket, where there is only one shop assistant: there is to time to sit and rest for minute, and he earns a million, sometimes a bit more. Two freelance workers worked there before but couldn’t stand the hard work and law salary. The owner is no in a rush with a substitution.


Re: New to reloading, need some help
welcome to the forum, that is a good question. It doesnt make sense why there isnt an expander die. That is a very necessary step in loading pistol ammo. Look into a LEE die set, I use LEE dies exclusively because of thier decapper rod strength and thier value price is a bonus. I have used RCBS dies and Lyman dies and much preferr the LEE die sets.
It takes 43 muscles to frown, 17 to smile, and 3 for proper trigger squeeze.
The latest caliber or gear is no substitute for experience and skill. Rifles and cartridges don't make hits -- shooters do.

A proud, successful man says,
“My father was tough on me
and I’m glad,
because I wouldn’t be
the man I am
A humble, wise man says,
“My father was tough on me.
I realize now how
emotionally absent he was
and that’s why I am
a ‘success’ today.”
You begin walking the healing path because you are tired of living, being a certain way; tired of feeling sad, empty, angry, lost, confused, isolated, afraid. You just want things to be different. You want to feel happier, more productive, more at peace in your heart.
A counselling client of mine once said to me, “I just want to get past being so accommodating all the time.” She spoke with a tone of judgment—self-judgement. She had become increasingly hard on herself for this old disempowered way of being in the world, for carrying the burden of the heavy responsibility-laden role of Accommodator. Decades had been spent putting other people’s needs ahead of her own, her eyes defaulted towards looking for what she can fix outside herself instead of tuning into and prioritizing her patient needs and desires. And so, naturally, she just wanted to “get past” this pattern, to “move beyond it”.
Healing, however, occurs more fully when we first pay tribute to that which we want to run from internally; when we take time to “get”, on a visceral level, that maybe that which we are rejecting inside—the pattern of accommodating, in the above case—has served us, saved us, somehow. Indeed, healing finds its place in our body when we allow ourselves to feel that there may just be good reason we have been the way we are these many years.
The survival mask
“The false self is for surviving. The real self is for living.” ~ Andrew Feldmar
Like many roles entrenched in our psyche, Accommodator is so often an adaptation to not having our needs met as children. Perhaps there was abuse, neglect or general dysfunction in the household, school or elsewhere. You didn’t feel seen, heard, encouraged, safe and loved. And so you adapted. You became what you needed to become to feel some level of connection or safety. If you accommodated you’d be less likely to cause trouble and thus receive trouble. If you just laid low and didn’t add to the existing storms of the environment with your petty needs and feelings, doing what your primary caregivers expected of you, you’d be fine. Everyone would be better off with your deference.
Being an Accommodator, in this very common case, is an act of survival. It is a mask we put on in order to cope. Like the tree that bends in order to get sunlight, we, courtesy of our immense psychophysiological survival intelligence, “bend” our identity in order to get whatever glimmer of hope, safety and sanity we can obtain.
Other common roles include: Pleaser, Go-to-Person, Rock, Stabilizer, Poor Me, Caretaker, Peacemaker, Bully, Achiever, Controller, Task Master, Savior, Church Mouse, Good Girl/Boy, Realist, Cynic, Joker, Dreamer, Mr./Ms. Right.
Roles are easily confused for who we and others are. We confuse the wounded adult “acting out” through adaptive or compensatory behaviours for a sincere personality. We don’t see or feel the subtext—the younger part still acting out from fear and pain.
“Well, he’s just a really nice person.”
“I’m just quiet. It’s the way I have always been.”
“He’s a real go-getter.”
“He’s such a good boy, isn’t he?”
“I’ve just always been a bit of a control freak.”
“He is so funny! Such a charmer that man!”
But why? Why are we these things? When you consider—really get—the extent to which people in our society did not get their emotional needs met growing up, then you may think twice before assuming that is who that person is.
The “nice” or “good” man may have learned to deal with his early life adversity by pleasing mommy or daddy. That “quiet” one who diligently bags your groceries, well he may have learned to withdraw in order to cope. The “go-getter” who seems so utterly “successful”, well she may have decided that she’ll prove her way through life in order to get the attention (connection) not received when young; and now she’s a high level athlete still trying to “prove the doubters wrong”. The “control freak” who is such a fantastic executive director, well perhaps she needed to control her environment as a child in order to feel safe; and now she’s doing it spectacularly for a living. The “funny charmer” who lures everyone in with his big smile might still be putting on brave face of “I’m strong, laugh it off, everything is okay” after years of things not being okay when young; and now he is a leading salesman, his big, seductive personality taking centre stage.
Years of consistent, unconscious adaptations in response to early life adversity wired or “bent” the brain and nervous system. New “grooves of identity” were worn into the psyche and “I/Me” was developed, what we call our personality. That personality found a job that fits its personality type. The Caretaker became a nurse, the Go-to-Person a police officer. Society reinforces trauma and trauma reinforces society, the perpetual, self-feeding loop, the dreamscape of maladaptive identifies “fitting in”.
(And then we educate children to “fit in” and “succeed”.)
As is often the case, we can turn to etymology to find deeper truths in historical roots: “Personality” comes from the Greek, “persona”, which means “mask”.
Author and leading trauma expert Gabor Mate summarizes my point succinctly: “During our dependent and vulnerable childhoods we develop the psychological, behavioral, and emotional composite that later we mistake for ourselves. This composite, which we call the personality, often masks a real person with real needs and desires. The personality is not a fault—in stressed environments it evolves primarily as a defense, a defense that can turn saboteur.”
Considering all this, there may be no more important question to ask than, “Who am I?”
Profiting off “disorders”
The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) created by the American Psychiatric Association (APA) and referred to by various mental health practitioners, including doctors, categorizes those masks suffering most. It turns trauma-informed identities—masks—into such labels as “Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder” and “Binge Eating Disorder”. As of the latest edition of the DSM (DSM-5; 2013), it lists 297 disorders.
While psychopharmacological interventions are necessary and helpful in certain acute situations, the APA has given license to countless knee-jerk-diagnosing clinicians to dispense harmful medication carte blanche to sufferers deemed as having a “mental health disorder” or “mental illness”. For the doctor who has only 8 minutes to assess their client and who gets paid by Big Pharma to dispense psychostimulants, it’s a convenient and profitable way to diagnose and “treat” a client. But it’s no way to support that person to heal. Just look at the numbers.
Consider that “As of November 2013, it is estimated that 11 percent of children from ages 4 to 17 have been told they have ADHD at some point. This is up from an estimated 7.8 percent in 2003.” According to the CDC, these findings continue to be on the rise.
The National Institute of Mental Health reports that “7.5 percent of U.S. children between ages 6 and 17 were taking medication for ’emotional or behavioral difficulties’ in 2011-2012. The CDC reports a five-fold increase in the number of children under 18 on psychostimulants from 1988-1994 to 2007–2010, with the most recent rate of 4.2 percent. The same report estimates that 1.3 percent of children are on antidepressants. The rate of antipsychotic prescriptions for children has increased six-fold over this same period, according to a study of office visits within the National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey.”
What has been drastically missing (although things are slowly changing) is the understanding that there is very good reason one is angry, depressed, anxious, overwhelmed, unfocused, overfocused, withdrawn, emotional, isolated—that one has “emotional or behavioural difficulties”. And it’s not what most think. As the research in this article articulates so well, there is an “overlap between (ADHD) symptoms and the effects of chronic stress or experiencing trauma like maltreatment, abuse and violence.”
In other words, we are slowly coming to realize that we are impacted by our environment—home, school, etc—, particularly during our younger years, far more than we know; and that inner struggles are not simply an epiphenomenon of the brain.
As someone diagnosed in my early teens as having “Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder” (OCD) and having traveled the healing journey for 20+ years, I understand first hand how trauma informs identity and experience. OCD was my adaptation to not feeling safe as a child. The abuse I experienced forced me to be hyper vigilant to my surroundings. When would he come next? Those footsteps I hear coming towards my room… My eyes and ears had to orient with vigilance to brace for what could be or was coming. Sounds became more acute. I narrowed in on him intensely when he entered and approached. My young, developing brain and nervous system began to re-wire for survival.
“Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder”, and its expressions of hyper-focus and perfectionism (which later in life made me an excellent worker), was a survival adaptation, not a personality flaw or brain defect. But doctors and psychologists didn’t know it, and so many still don’t. And so the health professional my mother took me to at age twelve could not meet me with the heart-felt empathy and understanding I needed.
Today we make sense of adaptations by calling them “mental illness”. And, if diagnosed with a DSM disorder, we simply accept that, “There is something wrong with my brain. It’s probably genetic or a freak accident in my chemistry.” And instead of healing, we visit the doctor and imbibe the psychostimulants. “Let’s patch this up so I can get back to ‘normal’!”.
Again, sometimes we need those psychostimulants. But, in most cases, clinicians and survivors are not giving enough credence to why the emotional, mental and physical turbulence exists. It’s also just easier if you blame the “faulty” brain and take a pill. You don’t have to do the hard labour of facing your fears and feeling what’s uncomfortable. You don’t have to take responsibility for your life in a way the healing journey demands.
The blind assumptions underlying the “mental health” movement and the West’s systemic aversion to feeling and healing, of course, benefit those at the top. Given how many DSM’s the APA sells each year and the billions of dollars Big Pharma earns through people being diagnosed with a disorder, it makes sense why the APA would want the public reliant on medical diagnoses of disorders and addicted to toxic medication.
It’s not a healthcare system we have, but one of sickcare, and a costly one at that!
You are not broken
“You know, maybe there’s very good reason you are accommodating”, I said to my client. With an abrupt, edgy tone, she replied, “Yeah, it’s because I’m broken.”
It’s usually in the first session that I tell my clients they are not broken. They don’t have a “personality defect”. This often is received with some level of relief. “Well, then what’s wrong with me?”
My clients are traumatized, and for good reason given what they experienced when young.
That “normal” household where your father was emotionally absent, like so many other fathers, unable or unwilling to connect to his child. That “normal” household where your mom drank a lot, sometimes passed out on the kitchen table. That “normal” household where your dad and mom fought regularly, keeping you up late at night, afraid. That “normal” household where you were chased with a wooden spoon, or worse. That “normal” household where your mother used to say, “Wait till dad gets home”, leaving you terrified, even if you pretended not to be. That “normal” household where your dad’s intense eyes scared you so, even if he didn’t physically act on his fury. That “normal” household where your mom was so often anxious and your dad unavailable because he was busy… and you left alone, again.
That “normal” school where you were forced to learn things that were developmentally inappropriate and against your will. That “normal” school where you were made to sit hours upon hours on a hard seat, scolded by your teacher for fidgeting or daydreaming. That “normal” school where you were systematically ranked, graded, compared, taught to feel that you were less than. That “normal” school where your creativity could not shine because the left brain institution prioritized academic pursuits (and was afraid of its own right brain imagination). That “normal” school where you were picked on, bullied, and had no one to protect you… and you had no one to talk about it with at home.
And what about how stressed your mother was when you were in utero; what she drank, smoke, ate; what her relationships were like; how much emotional support she had; how safe she felt in her body? And what about your birth? How traumatic was it? How quickly did they cut the umbilical cord? Were you put in an incubator without physical contact? Were you circumcised and without an anesthetic?
Did you know that it wasn’t until the late 80’s that doctors believed children felt pain? And did you know that, with the help of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scanning, we’ve learned that “babies are actually four times more sensitive to pain than adults”?
And what about the heavy weight of ancestral trauma, the extent to which trauma is passed down epigenetically from one generation to the next? Did you know that research now reveals that memories are passed down as far back as 14 generations? Take this into consideration, while also considering what your ancestors endured. Life was more about survival back then, enduring intense hardship, not thriving.
And what about the influence of the media, video games, peer pressure, shock trauma in the form of accidents and losses, and the collective consciousness of the planet?
No, you are not “broken”, nor do you have a “personality defect.” It is not just random happenstance that you have come to experience yourself as having tightness in your heart, irritable bowel syndrome, poor sleep, grinding teeth, aching hips, a proclivity to prove, please, withdraw, be a joker. It’s not simply genetics. No, you are carrying a heavier load than you can imagine. You are part of story of human unfolding filled with tragedy, with human suffering. You are but one expression, a painful expression. But you can heal.
There is good reason…
There is good reason you are the way you are. Start with this assumption. Start with empathy for yourself.
Hold your aches and pains, anger and shame, fears and doubts, need to prove, defend or accommodate with a kind heart, if you can. Your body will open more to healing if you can release yourself, even just a bit, from the shackles of self-judgment, from believing that you are the product of “faulty wiring” distinct from the influences of your surroundings; that there is something “inherently wrong” with you, ideas born in the notion of “sin”.
You are, by your very deepest nature, whole and complete. More so, the body naturally orients to healing and homeostasis. Cut yourself and watch. Your body/mind wants to heal. It does so organically through its unfathomable intelligence.
Yet to heal, you must feel. You must give yourself courageously to the feeling body. This takes times. But know you can do it. And then watch.
Heal the dysregulations, blockages and imbalances in your system and watch the personality transform, its roots increasingly in the soul as an expression of the soul. The mask, the persona, falls away.
Who I am today is far from who I once thought I was and who others deemed me to be. Years of intense healing work will do that. Heal the trauma and you heal the split between the personality and your eternal nature.
And then you wake from the dream.

2-Jul-2018 - Earlier this year we shared a post about how California was threatening businesses that were cooperating with ICE, therefore putting ICE officers and local communities at risk because agents have to arrest illegal immigrants out in the community.
And now these calls from Congress, media and protesters screeching to abolish ICE and blockading office buildings ... and Border Patrol agents and their families being threatened with physical violence are just insane.
As the Washington Examiner explained last week, Thomas Homan, ICE director and 34-year law enforcement veteran said, "It's insulting that a member of Congress would say 'abolish ICE' when we're enforcing the laws that Congress enacted. They give us a set of laws that we're supposed to enforce and they give me the money to do it, then say 'abolish ICE'. We’re doing what you told us to do."
Homan said President Trump's executive order in January 2017 mandated he carry out all existing immigration laws whereas former President Barack Obama had instructed ICE to prioritize who it went after.
Even so, ICE deportation numbers during the middle of Obama's administration in Fiscal Year 2012 — a total of 409,849 people removed — was significantly higher than Trump's first year number of 226,119.
And Homan argued 92% of all ICE arrests in FY 2017 either had a criminal arrest or conviction and were not being picked up just for immigration violations.
"We saved 904 children through our investigations from being exploited, being raped, being molested, being filmed," he added.
According to Townhall, in April 2016, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley warned about catch-and-release policies enabling the smuggling industry. In the past, any non-Mexican or Canadian individual illegally crossing the border with a child was considered a family unit, processed and released into the interior. Current zero-tolerance policies require they be detained until prosecution.
“A recent Department of Homeland Security (DHS) report confirmed that human smuggling rings are exploiting children in order to prevent the detention of the undocumented immigrants they’re smuggling into the United States. They are pairing children with unrelated adults, knowing adults who enter the United States with children won’t be detained,” Grassley said.
Fast-forward to 2018 and this is still the case.
“If there's no documentation to confirm the claimed relationship between an adult and a child, we [separate] if the parent is a national security, public or safety risk, including when there are criminal charges at issue and it may not be appropriate to maintain the family in detention together,” DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen said.
“We also separate a parent and child if the adult is suspected of human trafficking. There have been cases where minors have been used and trafficked by unrelated adults in an effort to avoid detention,” she continued. “And I'd stop here to say, in the last five months, we have a 314% increase in adults and children arriving at the border, fraudulently claiming to be a family unit. This is, obviously, of concern.”
Current and former Border Patrol and ICE agents who have worked extensively on human trafficking cases continue to have these concerns. Worse, they’re alarmed the majority of current media coverage is downplaying the smuggling angle.
"You can never really verify who the parents really are," former Border Patrol and Customs Special Agent Jason Piccolo said. "Especially in light of adult males showing up with kids."
In 2015, Piccolo blew the whistle on the Obama administration releasing unaccompanied minors to unvetted, criminal sponsors, but he was fired the day after he told HHS that thousands of children were being released with pedophiles and criminals.
OANN has more about Piccolo (former BP Special Agent and Iraq veteran) in this video ... (continue reading below vid)
Townhall reports smugglers are hired for as much as $20,000 per person and pair unrelated adults to unrelated children. The entire purpose is to claim asylum, valid or not, with the understanding that “family units” are apprehended and then released to the interior of the United States. Since 2008, asylum claims have ballooned by 1,700 percent according to DHS data.
Piccolo suggests a joint effort with USCIS, DHS and FBI is necessary for vetting and that a joint task force must be developed to do interviews and interrogations of adults traveling with children.
“If you really want to fix this problem you have to really vet these adults,” he said.
Currently, DHS and HHS have detained approximately 2,000 minors separately from adults.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) was created in 2003 through a merger of the investigative and interior enforcement elements of the former U.S. Customs Service and the Immigration and Naturalization Service. ICE's mission is executed through the enforcement of more than 400 federal statutes and focuses on smart immigration enforcement, preventing terrorism and combating the illegal movement of people and goods.
The men and women of U.S. Customs and Border Patrol are responsible for enforcing hundreds of U.S. laws and regulations. On a typical day, CBP welcomes nearly one million visitors, screens more than 67,000 cargo containers, arrests more than 1,100 individuals, and seizes nearly 6 tons of illicit drugs. Annually, CBP facilitates an average of more than $3 trillion in legitimate trade while enforcing U.S. trade laws.
As of Saturday, 1-Jul-2018, Ronald Vitiello took over as acting director of ICE (in photo at top), but he started his career with the U.S. Border Patrol in 1985 so he brings extensive experience from the field and has held many leadership roles.
ICE, Border Patrol and other agencies are NOT the problem ~ they are just enforcing existing laws that were enacted by Congress.
Congress needs to do its job and change the laws THEY wrote that continue to allow these human traffickers, child molesters and others to take advantage of known loopholes involving our border and immigration laws.

Unit 5 of a typical physics curriculum is dedicated to the study of rotational motion, which is the motion of an object around an axis. This unit builds upon the concepts learned in the previous unit on linear motion and introduces new concepts such as torque, rotational kinematics, rotational dynamics, and angular momentum.
The first topic covered in Unit 5 is torque and rotational statics. Torque is defined as the force applied perpendicular to the radius of rotation, and it is measured in units of Newton-meters (N∙m). Rotational statics refers to the study of the equilibrium of rotating objects, which occurs when the sum of all torques acting on an object is zero. This topic includes the study of the center of mass and center of gravity, as well as the calculation of the torque required to maintain rotational equilibrium.
The next topic in Unit 5 is rotational kinematics, which is the study of rotational motion without considering the forces that cause it. This includes the study of angular displacement, angular velocity, and angular acceleration. These concepts are analogous to their linear counterparts, displacement, velocity, and acceleration, and are measured in units of radians, radians per second, and radians per second squared, respectively.
The third topic in Unit 5 is rotational dynamics and energy. This topic builds upon the concepts learned in the previous topic and introduces the study of the forces that cause rotational motion, including torque, moment of inertia, and rotational work and energy. This topic includes the study of rotational analogs of Newton’s laws, such as the angular version of Newton’s second law, and the rotational work-energy theorem.
The final topic in Unit 5 is angular momentum and its conservation. Angular momentum is defined as the product of moment of inertia and angular velocity, and it is measured in units of kilogram-meters squared per second (kg∙m^2/s). This topic includes the study of the conservation of angular momentum, which states that the total angular momentum of a system remains constant unless acted upon by an external torque. This principle has many important applications, including the explanation of the behavior of spinning objects, such as tops and gyroscopes.
A uniform rod of length L and mass M is pivoted at one end and allowed to swing freely in a vertical plane. What is the moment of inertia of the rod about the pivot point?
A force of 10 N is applied tangentially to a wheel of radius 0.2 m. If the moment of inertia of the wheel is 0.1 kg·m², what is the resulting angular acceleration of the wheel?
A merry-go-round of radius 3 m and mass 200 kg is rotating at 5 rad/s. What is the moment of inertia of the merry-go-round?
A student pushes a 10-kg box along a horizontal floor with a force of 50 N. If the coefficient of static friction between the box and the floor is 0.4, what is the maximum torque the student can exert on the box before it begins to rotate?
A flywheel of moment of inertia 2 kg·m² is rotating at 20 rad/s. How much work is required to bring the flywheel to a stop?
The moment of inertia of a rod pivoted at one end is given by (1/3)ML². Therefore, the moment of inertia of the rod about the pivot point is (1/3)ML².
The torque applied to the wheel is equal to the force multiplied by the radius. Therefore, the torque is 2 N·m. The resulting angular acceleration is given by α = τ/I, where τ is the torque and I is the moment of inertia. Therefore, the angular acceleration is 20 rad/s².
The moment of inertia of a uniform disc is given by (1/2)MR², where M is the mass of the disc and R is the radius. Therefore, the moment of inertia of the merry-go-round is (1/2)(200 kg)(3 m)² = 900 kg·m².
The maximum torque that can be exerted on the box before it begins to rotate is equal to the product of the force of friction and the distance from the pivot point to the point of application of the force. Therefore, the maximum torque is 0.4(10 kg)(9.8 m/s²)(d), where d is the distance from the pivot point to the point of application of the force. Solving for d, we get d = 1.28 m. Therefore, the maximum torque is 62.72 N·m.
The work required to bring the flywheel to a stop is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the flywheel. Therefore, the work is (1/2)(2 kg·m²)(20 rad/s)² = 400 J.
In conclusion, Unit 5 of a typical physics curriculum is dedicated to the study of rotational motion. This unit covers topics such as torque and rotational statics, rotational kinematics, rotational dynamics and energy, and angular momentum and its conservation. These concepts are important for understanding the behavior of rotating objects, such as wheels, gears, and turbines, and have many important applications in engineering and science.

Genre: Young Adult/Fantasy/Fiction/Romance/Adventure
Similar Writings: Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carrol, Alice in Zombieland – The White Rabbit Chronicles by Gena Showalter
Plot: Alyssa Gardner is the great-great-great granddaughter of Alice Liddell, the little girl who was the inspiration for Lewis Carroll’s novel Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. Since Alice Liddell fell down the rabbit hole, every woman in her family after her has been cursed with the ability to hear and talk to bugs and flowers. Not only is Alyssa worried that she will follow into her mother’s footsteps by going crazy and being committed to an insane asylum, but memories of her childhood “friend” Morpheus start to resurface and she realizes she has been to Wonderland before.
Once Alyssa finds her way to Wonderland, accidentally dragging her best friend and longtime crush Jeb with her, she notices that Wonderland is a much more terrifying and disturbing place compared to Lewis Carrol’s version. The portals back to the human realm have been closed because of the turmoil that Alice created, so it is up to Alyssa to make everything right again. Alyssa must find a way to get home and fix her family’s curse, while also juggling her crush on her best friend Jeb and her conflicted feelings for her mysterious childhood friend Morpheus.
Opinion: I personally LOVED this book and could not wait to get the second book in the series. I have always been a fan of Alice in Wonderland, so books that have a unique twist on the original tale is a MUST read for me. Alyssa is a spunky character with a dark fashion sense but a fear that she’s going to end up going insane like her mother. She can hear bugs and flowers talking to her, so to shut the insects up she makes mosaics with them by stabbing them with pin needles…can you say twisted?! I love it. She has a HUGE crush on her best friend Jeb (who is an amazing artist and plans on moving to London after graduation), but when she meets Morpheus and her memories of him start to come back…she can’t decide if it is the child in her that still cares for him from years ago or if it is something new entirely.
This story overall is written beautifully, full of creative descriptions and comparisons. I personally need a lot of detailed creative writing in any story I read, and this definitely had it all. I loved the spin the author put on Wonderland, making it so that the creatures are complete opposites from what Alice’s mind as a child had described them as. She had made them more innocent and friendly, when in reality they were both horrifying and borderline evil. White Rabbit is actually named Rabid White and he is a creepy skeletal creature with horns, and he is NOT the cuddly worried cottontail bunny that we all know and love. I do wish the ending and the adventures weren’t rushed through so quickly. I feel as if Alyssa’s last battle ended way too abruptly, it feels like it wasn’t described as being as difficult and trying as it could have been.
MORPHEUS. Well what can I really say about the guy, he is a Wonderland half moth half man creature who you love to hate and hate that you love. He is the ultimate manipulating bad boy, but you keep hoping he’s not as much of an insensitive evil mastermind as he is portrayed. Is he GOOD or is he BAD?!?! He takes Alyssa on this wild adventure telling her she needs to save Wonderland, when really, he’s got an ulterior motive behind bringing her back. You see a more sensitive side to him later in the book and see that he may really care about Alyssa, but then he goes and does something selfish and you literally want to reach through the book and smack him for being such an ass. He knows how to make Alyssa tick and make her fall for him all at the same time, and what a snarky sarcastic mouth he has! You just gotta love him.
Jeb is Alyssa’s best friend and crush, but MY OH MY does this guy have a complex with telling her what to do. He cares about her a lot so of course he is quite overprotective, but it just made me feel annoyed and tired of him. Compared to Morpheus he is just boring and unadventurous, and I was secretly hoping that he would just disappear from the picture all together. But hey, I guess I just love the crazy ones 😉
Overall, I loved this book and couldn’t put it down until it was finished. I just purchased the second book in the series, Unhinged, and cannot wait to read it! I definitely recommend this book if you are looking for some adventure and another world to escape into for a few hours! An absolute lovely and exhilarating take on Alice in wonderland.

Hughes, who has been named the 2020 recipient of the New Mexico State Bar Indian Law Section Attorney Achievement Award in recognition of his achievements in Indian law and his many contributions to the community. Richard has practiced federal Indian law for more than 40 years, litigating numerous high-impact cases, more than twenty of which resulted in reported opinions. He was also extensively involved in developing the Compact Negotiation Act, NMSA §§ 11-13A-1, et seq., which created a procedure by which tribes in New Mexico could negotiate a gaming compact with the Governor's office, that would then be submitted to the legislature for approval. The Compact Negotiation Act in 1999, and all compacts and compact amendments approved since then have been approved under the terms of the Act. Richard has also given presentations at numerous CLE programs and written articles on various Indian law topics. Most noteworthy, he co-authored a book, with land grant historian Malcolm Ebright and Rick Hendricks (former New Mexico State Historian, now State Records Administrator), entitled FOUR SQUARE LEAGUES: PUEBLO INDIAN LAND IN NEW MEXICO, which was published by UNM Press in 2014. The book contains several case studies of Pueblo land disputes, both in the Spanish and Mexican periods and since, and chapters providing a history of the treatment of Pueblo lands by the Spanish, Mexican and American governments. The book won the 2015 Fray Francisco Atanasio Dominguez Award, presented by the Historical Society of New Mexico. We are proud of, and inspired by, Richard's many achievements.

Note from Michelle: My spiritual director shared this poem about fear by Rosemary Wahtole Trommer with me. I thought you might find it of value, too.
And when fear comes to the door bringing flowers
acting as if it’s a friend,
it’s okay to not want to let it in.
It’s okay to lock the door—
it’ll make you feel as if you’re doing something.
Fear will enter anyway.
At least it won’t expect a hug.
It won’t wash its hands,
not even when you ask nicely.
And it is more contagious than any virus—
spreads without sneezes or coughs.
It won’t leave when you ask, but
there are ways to make it quieter—
like inviting a few others to join you,
preferably gratitude, compassion, love,
kindness, vulnerability. These friends
always come when asked, wearing
the loveliest perfume. They change
the conversation, the way lemon
and honey change the bitter tea.
They remind you who you are,
invite you to look out the window
and see how beautiful the world
when the shadows are long.
Couldn’t be more timely–I so needed this calming thought today.
Love that image of fear as an unwanted guest–so apt.
Beautiful! Thanks for sharing. I love the last line most of all!
along with the above, I also find it helpful to talk to a friend. It’s a way of outing fear – and sometimes defuses it. I too have found out trying to keep her away just doesn’t work.


Sure, DeSantis Could Return Money From Racist Donors But Then He Wouldn't Have It Anymore
Republican Ron DeSantis, future failed candidate for Florida governor, is facing yet another race-based incident. One of his supporters and major donors, Steven M. Alembik, shouted "FUCK THE MUSLIM NIGGER" in a crowded Twitter. This was his cogent response to a GOP tweet stating, "Without a hint of irony, [Barack] Obama smears President Trump's 63 million Republican voters as divisive & resentful." You show 'em, Wrongly Spelled Stephen.
Initially, Alembik said he didn't believe he wrote that but then, after reviewing the tweet, said "when I write anything inflammatory, it's because I'm seriously pissed off. I'm an emotional human being. Do I have a filter on what I say? In public, yes. Would I use that word in public? No. This is Twitter."
So Alembik doesn't know what Twitter actually is. Sure, much of the content on the site is masturbatory but there's still a sizable audience. You're not just shooting tweets at the ceiling. Can he make this worse?
"So somebody like Chris Rock can get up onstage and use the word and there's no problem? But some white guy says it and he's a racist? Really?" the 67-year-old Alembik said, adding that what's considered racially charged language now wasn't racist when he was a kid. "I grew up in New York in the '50s. We were the kikes. They were the n------. They were the goyim. And those were the spics."
Yeah, the 1950s were wonderful, with Grease and Elvis and most of Back to the Future, but it was also very racist. Black people had to walk to work for a year to convince white people to let us freely use the seats on public transportation. I wouldn't point to that decade as a great example of racial harmony.
This is awkward for DeSantis. Alembik's Twitter tirade is the fifth racial incident tied to his campaign in the past month. On the other hand, it's not the sixth. There are established protocols for this sort of crisis: 1) Reject the offensive comments without qualification. 2) Distance yourself from the person who made them. 3) Just to be on the safe side, return any money donated to you by the offending person. It's a simple plan, but as detailed on the CW documentary "The Flash," even the best plans have a way of "going off the rails." Let's see how DeSantis is doing.
At [Florida International University] Thursday, Desantis condemned Alembik's tweet.
"I totally disavow the tweet. I'm not surprised he did that. I'm not responsible for it, reject it. We're focused on our message and we're focusing on what we're putting out," Desantis said.
OK, that's a trifle incoherent but let's cut him some slack, he's losing to a black guy in Florida. Now on to distancing himself from Alembik. This is easy-peasy. Just last Friday DeSantis blocked former state Rep. Ralph Arza from co-chairing a fundraiser for his campaign. In 2006, Arza allegedly called Miami-Dade County's first black schools chief a "black piece of shit" in Spanish. He couldn't even use the Chris Rock defense because few of Rock's performances are bilingual. DeSantis is just a non-racist guy who seems to attract racists, presumably for no other reason than his dazzling good looks. Unfortunately, distancing himself from Alembik's money has proven more challenging.
Alembik has donated more than $20,000 to DeSantis over the years, and DeSantis claims he'll never take another dime. He won't, however, return donations from Alembik's company, SMA Communications, because that money's been spent already, and once money's gone, it's gone forever. That's how money works. Beside, the money's not even racist. It's currency of color, a protected class.
I don't think black people expect DeSantis to literally return the exact same money SMA Communications donated. We're not that picky. DeSantis's campaign can go to the bank and withdraw entirely new money to return to the racist. That's fine by us. Maybe his campaign is strapped for cash with its new "no money from racists" policy, but he can always lean on the Black Republicans of South Florida. They're hard at work defending Alembik, who lives in racial utopia Boca Roton, from charges of racism.
Sean Jackson, the chairman of the
most embarrassing black people in Florida group, insists everything that Alembik has freely admitted to is "false," "incorrect," and a "flat-out lie." Like a self-loathing Socrates, Jackson poses the question, "How can Alembik be a racist when he has a 'plethora' of black friends?" (Black people come in "plethoras" -- there are 12 in each, unless you get a good deal at the bakery.) Jackson also reminds us that Alembik is Jewish and he "doesn't know too many racist Jews." I guess Stephen Miller never invited him out for sushi.

Spurs and England international Kane has won the individual accolade in two of the last three years, with Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah outscoring him in the previous campaign.
Aubameyang has certainly made a swift start to life at Arsenal following his £56m move from Borussia Dortmund, scoring ten goals in 14 appearances across all competitions.
Parlour believes the Gabon international will be a key player in the upcoming season and can see him rivalling Kane for the Golden Boot.
Speaking to bwin, Parlour said: “Aubameyang will be Arsenal’s star player this season.
“He has that incredible goalscoring instinct and he’ll get lots of opportunities with (Mesut) Ozil and (Henrikh) Mkhitaryan feeding him."
Parlour continued: "I was so impressed with what I saw last year that I think it will be him and Harry Kane competing for the Golden Boot."
Kane has become recognised as one of the best strikers in the world and will have no intention of dropping his standards anytime soon.
The 24-year-old has already chalked up 140 goals in total during his Spurs career and is five years younger than Arsenal counterpart Aubameyang.
Kane has just guided England to a fourth-place finish at the World Cup and walked away with the tournament’s Golden Boot with six goals, while Aubameyang has had a full pre-season to prepare with Arsenal.

I was startled to see the (U.K.) Guardian had jumped into the issue of well-drilling companies' drilling logs in California. (Groundwater records should not be kept confidential in drought-stricken California; March 27). Granted, the Guardian has an American desk and routinely reports on situations in the USA that strongly impact the United Kingdom and European Union. But drilling down into an old story about record-keeping in one U.S. state struck me as a little excessive.
Yet this isn't any old U.S. state and this isn't any old drought. California's agribusiness has a big impact on the, er, 'global economy' not to mention Global Food Security, although frankly I'm still feeling my way to learning why almonds are critically important to the globe's food supply.
So on reflection I can see why the Guardian wanted to add their two cents to the dust-up about the logs, a story that a local California newspaper called the Sacramento Bee brought to public attention back in July 2014, which merited a one-line mention the next month in a National Geographic article cheerily titled, If You Think the Water Crisis Can't Get Worse, Wait Until the Aquifers Are Drained.
The logs aren't entirely confidential; they can be accessed by local and federal government agencies on a need-to-know basis. But one look at the U.S. Geological Survey schematic that the Sacramento Bee published, constructed from data in well logs, shows why they're so important. California landowners and the companies they hire to dig private wells now have an urgent need to know how many wells are being dug in their region and exactly where and how deep.
It's the same for policy organizations, scientists and engineers outside government, and journalists trying to gain better understanding of various aspects of the state's water shortage crisis. Consider subsidence in the over-pumped San Joaquin Valley for example; consider toxic well water for another.
Why the secrecy with the logs? From the Bee:
In all other Western states, such records are accessible to whomever wants to see them – from university professors to civil engineers, real estate agents to the media. But in California, well logs are barred from public inspection by a 63-year-old law written to keep data gathered by well-drilling companies from falling into the hands of competitors.

1Hand Painted Animation Limited Edition Cel. ROCKO, HEFFER, SPUNKY, ED BIGHEAD, BEV BIGHEAD, FILBURT. Signed by Creator and Joe Murray Edition of 300 (you will be receiving a different edition number than the one pictured).
The Cel is on a Reproduction Background. Nickelodeon Studios Certificate of Authenticity (COA). Nickelodeon Seal Embossed on the Cel. Cel Size: 12 Field (10.5" x 12").It is unmatted and unframed. Rocko's Modern Life is an American TV animated series, the fourth of Nickelodeon's Nicktoons, created by Joe Murray and aired for four seasons from 1993 to 1996. The show was based around the surreal, parodic adventures of an anthropomorphic wallaby named Rocko, and his life in the city of O-Town. The program was produced by Joe Murray Productions and Games Productions. The show is laden with double entendres, sexual innuendos, and social commentary, some of which have been edited in rebroadcasts. Rocko's Modern Life ended production in 1996. The plot follows life of a wallaby, Rocko, who has emigrated to America from Australia.
In America, he is faced with various problems and challenges involving his pals who try to teach him what it means to be a good friend. There are sexual innuendos such as references to body parts including nipples, breasts, testicles and others. Many of the locations in the television show Rocko's Modern Life have the letter "O" for example O-Town and Conglom-O.
And we all know, the American dream is volume! So what better company to create volume than'Conglom-O', and since a majority of the town worked at Conglom-O, it should be called'O' Town. I also wanted the town to be'anytown' USA, and I used to love sports players with a big ZERO on their back. It was funny to me. The plot locations included the following: O-Town is the town in which Rocko lives.
Chokey Chicken is a favorite restaurant/hang-out place for Rocko, Heffer, and Filburt. Through the first part of the fourth season it was called'Chewy Chicken,' due to the former name's reference to masturbation.It's a parody of KFC. Conglom-O Corporation is the biggest company in town; it even runs City Hall. Dupette, who has very peculiar ways to see if the employees are fit to work there, manages Conglom-O. Conglom-O does not seem to have a specific purpose or product-it is a giant company that manufactures many products. Conglom-O's slogan is always shown beneath its name. The slogan is "We own you, " revealing in a later musical episode that they own everything in O-Town. When Ed Bighead was shown to work at Conglom-O in 1961, the slogan stated "We Will Own You" (alluding to the future of megacorporations). The illustration that appears with the logo and on top of the official Conglom-O Corp. Skyscraper is a martini glass with the earth in place of an olive. Heck is where "bad people" go when they die. Run by Peaches, it is where Heffer is doomed to eternal suffering.
Holl-o-Wood is a town that resembles the Hollywood section of Los Angeles, California. Kind of a Lot O' Comics is a comic book store where Rocko works. This item is in the category "Collectibles\Animation Art & Merchandise\Animation Art". The seller is "milyjam" and is located in this country: US.
