By: Diane Benjamin Even the democrats know Joe Biden is not inspiring anybody. When he does come out of his basement he speaks incoherently.

By: Diane Benjamin The head of the McLean County Democrat Party doesn’t know a boycott is illegal in Illinois. Committing a felony is a non-issue? Now you know why laws don’t matter in Illinois – the Democrats have been running the State for decades. To be fair, I don’t think Connie Beard knew either or […]
By: Diane Benjamin It’s obvious the Democrat Party only cares about blacks when they want their vote. Obama was president with his sidekick Biden for 8 years.

By: Diane Benjamin Nikita Richards, failed candidate for McLean County Clerk, was recently elected to lead the McLean County Democrats.

By: Diane Benjamin Think back folks. Nikita Richards accused Kathy Michael of voter suppression because the kids at ISU had to stand in lines.

By: Diane Benjamin Well it seems as if the Dems had a snafu at the last County Board meeting. Eventual candidate (more about that later) Derek M.

By: Diane Benjamin This event has ZERO to do with honoring veterans. Nikita Richards is raising money so she can run for office again.

By: Diane Benjamin Remember when Nikita Richards campaigned during a church service? https://blnnews.com/2018/10/01/nikita-lying-in-church/ City of Refuge Church must have decided they messed up with Nikita, so the GOP was invited to speak at the church.

By: Diane Benjamin The room was packed with citizens last night wanting to hear the two candidates. There was easily over 200 people, standing room only.

6-7 pm at Heartland Community College – Community Commons building. Kathy Michael – Nikita Richards Should be fun!
By: Diane Benjamin This morning Connie Beard, McLean County GOP chair, held a press conference. (Note: the GOP is led by a woman! Democrats aren’t) The purpose was to touch on three topics: 1) Referendums The GOP has placed three on the ballot. The first two will only be on the County ballots. These two […]
By: Diane Benjamin At least 2 Peoria TV stations and WYZZ covered the lies told by Nikita Richards in a local church last Sunday. The local Republicans asked her to apologize for claiming Kathy Michael broke the law by delaying the start of early voting.

Press Release: 10/1/18 Statement by Connie Beard, Chairman McLean County Republicans. “It has been brought to my attention through various sources that Ms. Nikita Richards, Democratic candidate for McLean County Clerk, appeared at a local congregation and during her campaign presentation accused Kathy Michael of breaking the law by delaying the start of early voting.

By: Diane Benjamin If breaking the law by campaigning in churches isn’t bad enough, Nikita Richards must think congregations will fall for anything – including lies. Nikita really has nothing to run on, so she has created division and racial tensions by claiming discrimination and voter suppression. She has to create her own fact to […]
By: Diane Benjamin Gerrard is the guy who filed the ethics complaint with the City of Bloomington against Nikita Richards. This morning he left a comment on this site that neither the Pantagraph reporter or the WJBC reporter contacted him before doing stories. He stated he is not behind the Bloomington Deserves Better Facebook page, […]
By: Diane Benjamin Kevin Gerrard, the guy who filed the ethics complaint with the City of Bloomington, also filed for Nikita’s browser history for the entire month of June. According to him, he filed the complaint and FOIA because HE is paying Nikita’s salary as a resident of Bloomington. One quick note about who filed […]
By: Diane Benjamin Email to Kevin Gerrard concerning the ethics investigation of Nikita Richards: So the City is hiring an independent law firm to investigate the obvious. If Nikita isn’t fired they can blame the law firm. If Nikita is fired they can blame the law firm. If the investigation takes months they can blame […]
By: Diane Benjamin Churches are tax exempt because government wanted to make sure they didn’t use the Bible as a basis for informing their congregations about political candidates. In 1954 a law was passed banning political campaigning by tax exempt organizations, specifically churches. Campaigning in a church means the church could lose tax exempt status […]
By: Diane Benjamin I’ve been sent this information by a LOT of people, so it’s time to share it. Yes, McLean County is being community organized using Chicago style campaigning with Chicago residents being bused here. I wonder if they will be bused here to vote too? Since Chicago is the poster city for high […]
By: Diane Benjamin The video of Dickie at ISU this morning is on Nikita Richards Facebook page. He was here to endorse her. The college Democrats plus Erik Rankin were there too. The crowd didn’t look overwhelming. Dickie came, in his own words, to support a Democrat “traffic cop” to elections. Yes, Dickie, we’ve seen […]
By: Diane Benjamin A couple of days ago a comment was made on Facebook saying Republicans were trying to suppress the vote at ISU, and that’s why kids had to stand in long lines. The person who made that comment must have not realized the election was a primary. Suppressing democrat votes does nothing to […]
By: Diane Benjamin I wonder if she was campaigning again on a City computer? The conversation below took place mostly this morning on the WGLT Facebook page. I’m going to post the entire thing with nothing redacted so I can’t be accused of “editing”.
By: Diane Benjamin Think back. Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders are vying for the Democrat nomination for president. The Illinois primary election was held on March 15, 2016. The Town of Normal has 30 precincts. The entire County picked Hillary Clinton, 26 of Normal’s 30 locations picked Bernie Sanders.
Press packets proving many of the points made were distributed to all members of the press there.
By: Diane Benjamin The Kathy Michael press conference is going to be interesting. The Democrats hired a lawyer to FOIA Kathy Michael’s browser history!

Ah, I forgot to mention that this laptop is out of warranty too.
Many thanks... again.
A Toshiba Satellite, 1.6GHz, P4, 256mb, DVD/CD-RW and 30gb HD with XP Pro just powers off without warning. It will come back on if you reboot the system. A new power cord was purchased to see if that was the problem, but it continued anyhow.
Any ideas. It is a far too new of a computer to not be able to get past this point.

After scaling up to celebrate the We Are All Artists second anniversary a couple of weeks ago, I’ve been thinking of ways to scale back down again. Carole and I took a walk along a few miles of the River Wandle earlier this week, and the river has been on my mind since.
Last night I picked up a small hardwood tile and began to draw and paint.
Several hours, and many coats of paint and varnish later.
I’ll be hiding this very soon. It’s a sunny day today, can’t wait to see how the sun makes the art sparkle.
I hid the art by a waterwheel in The Grove, Carshalton, here’s a photo taken on location. It’s since been found and has a new home.
I took a stroll along a stretch of The Wandle today, I love living close to a river. On my return, thoughts turned to this week’s free art drop, the 80th consecutive week of the project. Here’s what emerged from head onto paper, via paintbrushes.
Tools of the trade.
I’ve recently started using Pebeo paints as an alternative to Liquitex Heavy Body. There are a few iridescent shades in their range. Here’s most of what I used to make this picture, there’s also a mix of Winsor and Newton water colour in the background, not shown here.
It’s the Wallington Music Festival this weekend, and my home town will be showing off its abundance of musical talent. Check out the festival Facebook page for details of all the acts, and when and where they are playing.
This week’s free art drop is a design to celebrate the festival. I’ve taken some of the colours from the festival design and applied them to my art. I’ve chosen colours which represent the local river, and lavender, and I have applied them in a way that creates a unique ‘fingerprint’ surface on the paint.
If you are off to the festival this weekend, have an amazing time and keep an eye out for this free art drop which will be hidden somewhere around town.

In the feature, she talked about the challenges she faced as a female Afropop singer and the journey to framing her distinct sound. she stated that she had to return to Nigeria to pursue music after she discovered that while the industry was growing, there were no female doing it on the same level as the men.
The feature excerpt quotes her as saying, “Against all advice – everybody was like, nobody is going to listen to African music, I moved back to Nigeria.” Tiwa said “In everything I do, whether it’s using my native language, or an African beat, something is going to let you know I am an African woman.
Tiwa went on to craft her own sound using a combination of RnB and traditional Afrobeats which has accorded her global acclaim. She signed a recording contract with Mavin Records in 2012 and currently has a songwriting deal with Sony/ATV Music Publishing.

Of course not! Just back from the opthamologist's where he gleefully informed me that I had cataracts in both eyes but that they were not bad enough to do anything about. Oh goody!
Actually those Carter YH carburetors were used on three GM production cars
The Corvair Corsica, the six cylindered Corvette, and the 1962-64 Oldsmobile Jetfire. They were also used on AMC cars, Dodge trucks and some Nash products. They were used on the Pontiac Bonniville Special concept car that debuted at the 1954 Motorama. Four of them were used on a Cadillac powered Allard Falcon Special and again on a 1954 Kurtis Nash 500m Pan American Sports Car.
Brian I know you like concept Cars, check out this guy.

Welcome to Community Health Network of Washington
House Budget Proposal Expands Medicaid and Fully Restores Adult Dental
The House delivered a budget that prioritizes people and their health. We now have full agreement among the House, Senate and the Governor to expand Medicaid and fulfill the promise of health care reform for our state. For more than 250,000 currently uninsured Washingtonians, the peace of mind and productivity that come with health insurance are within sight. And the full restoration of adult dental coverage for current and newly eligible Medicaid enrollees acknowledges that oral health is necessary in treating the whole patient.
These health care decisions create $266 million in state budget savings, bring $1 billion in federal funding to Washington, generate 10,000 new jobs, and contribute to strong, secure and healthy families and communities. Few budget decisions bring so many benefits.
We will work with our leaders in the legislature and fellow advocates to secure a final state budget that includes this sensible and compassionate approach.
For updates on the State budget and legislation, please visit our State Policy page.
For more than 15 years, Community Health Network of Washington (CHNW) has served as a statewide system of community health centers that works to ensure all Washingtonians have access to medical care and health insurance coverage. From the provision of medical care, to IT solutions, to advocacy at the public policy level, CHNW works to improve individuals’ and families’ access to health care, by overcoming barriers including geographic location, insurance status and income.
Community Health Centers
Community health centers provide primary and preventive health care services for people regardless of their ability to pay.

This spoon from the Metro Toronto Zoo in Toronto, Ontario, Canada was made in 1985 for the visit of two Pandas from the Peoples’ Republic of China, Qing Qing and Quan Quan. I guess that’s why it says “Panda Visit” at the top.
The Exmoor Zoo opened on a small farm in north Devon, in the southwest part of England in 1982. Originally known as “The Exmoor Bird Gardens,” they changed their name to “The Exmoor Animal and Bird Gardens” in 1995 and then “Exmoor Zoological Park” in 1997. It is now simply known as “Exmoor Zoo.”
This souvenir spoon from the zoo was probably manufactured in the last 20 years, given the shortened version of the name that appears under the profile of a parrot.
It’s quite possible that this spoon is haunted by the spirits of the zoo’s ten Humbolt Penguins—Buster, Newquay, Ludo, Percy, Lemmy, Truddle, Owlie, Blossom, Friendly and Arthur—all of whom died of avian malaria last fall. Rest in piece, little waddlers.
37 years ago today, Mount St. Helens erupted and forever changed its surrounding landscape.
This spoon depicts the post-eruption mountain with what might be a Roosevelt elk majestically posing in front. Not sure what the pink stuff is supposed to be, but I’m pretty sure that’s clear blue sky above the mountain. We haven’t seen that in months though, so I can’t be sure.
I was 12 years old when the mountain erupted. It just so happened that my dad had rented a Cessna 150 for the morning for a trip to see the mountain up close and personal. When he heard the mountain had erupted, he decided to keep the reservation anyway, because what could possibly go wrong?
Here’s his pilot’s log with the entry from May 18, 1980:
Our flight plan took us from Boeing Field to within 10 miles of Mount St. Helens. I was asleep most of the flight and I remember him waking me up to see the massive black cloud in front of us. Zero visibility, but what an unforgettable experience.
(It says “10 mile point Mt. St. Helens” in his log. Where was the red zone on that day? Were we IN the red zone?)

Hello witches, wizards, house-elves and muggles! I am struggling to believe that we are pretty much half way through August, which mean half-way through this round of N.E.W.Ts. I love the versatility of Gi’s readathons and prompts and have got back into the reading groove. I am managing to fit in some ARCs that I have been meaning to read, and I am thinking about books I require for the various year long reading challenges I am participating in and trying to fit books in for those where I can. I have finished some properly brilliant books that have become absolutely favourites.
Hello witches, wizards, house-elves and muggles! August is upon us which means only one thing – the Magical Readathon is back with another N.E.W.Ts edition! I took part in my O.W.Ls back in April and I passed all of my subjects (yay go me) so I had the choice of career path, and therefore reading options going into this readathon. Gi (of The Book Roast) has really gone all out this year to make this the most magical reading experience, and so I had fun choosing a career for O.W.Ls and plan to stay on the right path. Continue reading “N.E.W.Ts Readathon 2019 | Sign Up and TBR”
Well well, witches, wizards and Muggles, O.W.Ls 2019 is officially almost over. We’re on the last day, the very last stretch, and I am so pleased with my progress and performance but absolutely gutted that the readathon is over! I can’t believe that this amazing readathon has been going on for a month, I mean, where has that gone eh? I hope you had a great month!
I am very pleased to report that I managed to complete ALL 12 of the OWLs subjects. This was my hope, but not really my aim, as I didn’t need to finish them all to pursue my career of either Curse Breaker of Ministry of Magic worker in the Department of Mysteries. I’ve read some really great books this month, both for this readathon and not, and I am really pleased it has paid off. Check out what I read:
Witches, Wizards, and Muggles, Easter has been, the sun is most definitely shining, and the end of exam season is in sight! I would normally be ecstatic to see the back of exams, but I adore this readathon, so I am kind of disappointed that it’s nearly over already. We still have just over a week left, that’s plenty of time to work towards our exam targets and complete some last minute revision!
I have had a slightly slower middle of the month in April. I have been tackling some longer books, and also been re-reading the Beautiful Bastard series, which sadly doesn’t count for anything in terms of OWLs challenges. I finished the first few challenges really quickly, and have only finished one more since the last check-in. That said, I am definitely further on than I was. I have finished a vital subject, I am over half-way through the final challenge that will secure any of the career paths I am interested in, and I then will only have two challenges left to pursue a full house and finish ALL of the OWLs.
Hello witches, wizards, muggles, and trolls! OWLs Readathon 2019 is running through the whole of April (check out my sign up post here), so I thought I would do a quick revision update to see how I have been getting on with each exam assignment now as we are a third of the way through the month.
I am still completely undecided on my career path. Well, not, that’s not entirely true, I have narrowed it down, but Curse Breaker and Department of Mysteries worker are still both drawing me in, so for now, I am still working to complete these two. Realistically, I also wanted to obtain Outstanding in my OWLs which meant completing 9 exam topics, so I opted to focus on the subjects I needed for the career paths I am interested in, and then filled in the topics I also really wanted to read for too.
I’ve had a great month/readathon so far! Last year, I caught this readathon just after it had started and unfortunately was in a reading slump so didn’t feel like I made the most of it. I was determined to do it properly this year, and have read a decent amount so far, got through a few topics, and most importantly, I am enjoying what I am reading!!! Continue reading “O.W.Ls Readathon 2019 | Update”
It’s that time of year again where we strap on our magical thinking caps and get ‘studying’ for our O.W.Ls. For those of you who have absolutely no idea what I am talking about, the Magical Readathon – O.W.Ls edition is back, and is bigger and better than ever. Based on the Ordinary Wizarding Levels – tests that Hogwarts Students sit in their 5th year of school – the readathon features a series of reading prompts inspired by the school subjects offered at Hogwarts. Continue reading “O.W.Ls Readathon 2019 | Sign Up, TBR, and Career Path”
It’s officially only 6 days to Christmas, which means a week from today it will be Boxing Day and I HAVE FINISHED WORK UNTIL NEW YEAR’S EVE. Can you tell I am excited? It’s the middle of the week though, and others are still only just getting over hump day, so, I am low key celebrating in the best way – in my comfies, on the couch, with a table full of snacks, reading unabashedly for 3hrs because it’s Christmas Cosy Reading night!

Journals from Norway - Fall 2008
2008-09-30 Trip to Bergen
I just got back from a weekend trip to a city called Bergen on the west coast of Norway. Bergen is Seattle's sister city! It's a beautiful place with colorful little houses in rows and cobblestone roads and a big fish market. The weather was really nice too. Apparently Bergen only gets 60 days of sun every year because its always raining. We got really lucky and had three of those sunny days! I went with three Dutch girls; Roos, Anouk, and Steph, two French boys; Romain and Thibaut, and Guillermo from Columbia. We travelled there by train because we heard that the train ride between Oslo and Bergen was the most scenic. We arrived in Bergen Friday around 3 pm and had time to find our apartment and look around the city. The apartment we stayed in was great! It was our cheapest option for seven people and had two bedrooms, a bathroom, a full kitchen, living room and dining room. It was really nice and centrally located. Saturday morning we took a bus to an island where very few people live. The view from the end of the island was great and it was nice to be away from city noise. Sunday we went up into the mountains that overlook the fjord. We took a bus from Bremen to Flam, took the famous Flam railway up further into the mountains, then biked down back to Flam. I thought I was going to die in Norway... We biked down extremely steep rocky switchbacks. Fortunately, after the steep rocky paths there were less steep, paved paths and amazing views through the mountains. We were biking past enormous green mountain walls; so close that my eyes kept making things shrink. It was a rush. Then we took a boat through the fjords and a bus back to Bergen. I feel like I finally got to see the more natural side of Norway.

Endometriosis is a disease that is not discussed much, but it is more common (and more important) than you might think.
‘What is endometriosis?’ you might ask. It is a disease in which the tissue lining the uterus grows outside of the uterus and on other organs, and according to the Endometriosis Research Center, it affects an estimated 176 million women around the world, regardless of social and ethnic background. Still, many women remain undiagnosed because they are unaware of the disease. In addition to being Women’s History Month, March is also Endometriosis Awareness Month. Both are important in highlighting women’s issues, so Her Campus WPUNJ has decided that it’s the perfect time to present 6 facts on the often misunderstood disease known as endometriosis.
- Endometriosis comes from the word endometrium, the tissue that lines the uterus or womb. Endometriosis occurs when this tissue is growing outside of the uterus on other organs or structures such as the ovaries and the fallopian tubes. In rare cases, endometriosis can even be found on organs outside of the reproductive system, such as the lungs or the skin.
- One of the biggest misconceptions about endometriosis is that it is just painful cramps and that it is normal for women to get during their menstrual periods. Although it is common for women to get cramps during the menstrual periods, these cramps can be treated with over-the-counter medicine. Women who suffer from endometriosis receive very painful cramps that can get worse over time. Other symptoms of endometriosis include: chronic pain in the lower back and pelvis, painful urination or bowel movements during menstrual periods, diarrhea, constipation, bloating or nausea (especially during periods), infertility or not being able to get pregnant, and fatigue.
- Endometriosis is one of the most common health problems for women. More than five million women have the disease in the United States alone. It usually occurs in women in their 30s and 40s; however, it can also be found in younger women and teens.
- There is no known cause of endometriosis, though there are several theories as to what causes the disease. One theory suggests that dioxin exposure cause endometriosis. Dioxin is a toxic chemical from the making of pesticides and the burning of wastes. Another theory suggests that endometriosis is genetic, so if a woman has a mother or relative with the disease, she is likely to develop the disease at some point in her life.
- There is no way to prevent or lower your chances of getting endometriosis. However, according to womenshealth.gov, the hormone estrogen is involved in thickening of the lining of the uterus during the menstrual period. Tips on how to lower estrogen level in your body include avoiding large amounts of caffeinated drinks and alcohol and exercising regularly.
- There is no cure for endometriosis, but there are various treatment options available: Doctors may suggest taking over-the-counter pain medication like ibuprofen (typically known as Advil and Motrin) or naproxen (Aleve) for women with mild symptoms. There are also hormone treatments which include birth control pills and danazol, a weak male hormone that lowers estrogen in the body. Danazol may stop a women’s period or make it come less often (however, this treatment can have serious side effects). Surgery is an option for women with severe endometriosis. This includes laparoscopy, a surgery in which doctors remove growths and scar tissue or burn them away. The goal of this procedure is to treat endometriosis without harming healthy tissues. There is also hysterectomy, in which the doctor removes the uterus and ovaries from the body. This surgery is usually used as a last resort as you cannot get pregnant once you have this surgical procedure.
Endometriosis is a disease that affects millions of women around the world and can cause all sorts of problems from chronic pelvic pain to cysts to infertility. There needs to be more dialogue between women and health care professionals regarding this disease. Endometriosis should not be kept quiet; it is nothing to be ashamed of. And in light of March being both Women’s History Month and Endometriosis Awareness Month, Her Campus WPUNJ wants to remind all of you and your mothers, your sisters, your friends, to please get checked and treated.

The destruction of south China’s wildlife habitats started about 1,000 years ago, and still continues today. This led to many animal extinctions and severe reductions in wildlife populations, and has been compounded by the use of wildlife for food and for ingredients in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).
One might imagine that the pressure on wildlife would have decreased as levels of education and urban incomes have risen in the region. But the greatest reduction in wildlife consumption was actually in 2003, and came as a result of public fears about the risks of catching Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) from wild animals. In late 2004, the demand for civet cats decreased so much due to the fear of SARS that 141 farms released 4,000 of the animals into the wild. Bird flu later added to this concern.
Many Chinese people believe that eating wildlife is a bad habit, and some will even say it is barbaric, but the practice has persisted in China for around 2,000 years. A 2003 poll taken in Guangdong province found that half of the population had eaten wildlife, snake being named as the favourite of 45% of those surveyed.
With increased affluence in large south China cities such as Hong Kong, Shenzhen, and Guangzhou, greater numbers of well-educated urban men have been reported as travelling to other cities on the Chinese mainland to enjoy feasts of endangered and protected wildlife species – in order to flaunt their wealth. Feast menus typically include cobras and other poisonous snakes, pangolins (a small, scaly animal) and civet cats.
The figures are staggering. Twenty tonnes of snakes and as many as 20,000 birds were eaten every day in Guangdong restaurants in 2001, reported the South China Morning Post. One Guangzhou restaurant, “Chock Full O’Snakes”, served 600 to 700 kilograms of snakes every day throughout January 2001 – the first month of the Year of the Snake. Some wildlife restaurants in Guangzhou can seat as many as 1,000 people.
In 2001, China announced fines of 1,000 to 10,000 yuan for anyone caught eating protected wildlife. But in 2004 Xinhua news agency reported the State Forestry Administration as saying that the cobra population has fallen 90% in the previous decade, while numbers of the common rat snake had dropped 75%.
The scarcity of wildlife in Guangdong province, stemming from the high demand for wild animals for food, has meant increasing imports of wildlife from other southern provinces, as well as other Asian countries such as Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, India and Vietnam – and even some African countries. These imports increase the pressure on wildlife in these locations.
Smuggling has also become commonplace in nearby Hong Kong, due to the high market value of many endangered or protected wildlife species in mainland China. A look at some Hong Kong police reports highlights the magnitude of the problem: in 2001, the Hong Kong authorities uncovered a shipment of 2.7 tonnes of pangolin scales, a yield that would require the scales of 5,000 to 6,000 pangolins. The next year, crates containing 600 cobras were smuggled into Hong Kong from Malaysia, but were intercepted by the police in a dangerous, high-speed boat chase. And in 2005, a shipment of 1,800 skinned and vacuum-packed pangolins was discovered. The list goes on, and these incidents only represent the tip of the iceberg of the wildlife smuggling trade.
The 2003 SARS outbreak caused widespread concern in China about the possible hazards of eating wild animals. The link between SARS and the handling and eating of certain wildlife was proposed by medical researchers, and the Chinese government closed or relocated a number of wildlife markets, as well as closing many wildlife restaurants. At the height of the outbreak, the Guangdong government banned the breeding, consumption and trading of wildlife. But sales resumed shortly after the SARS crisis had passed. Renewed efforts by the Guangdong health authorities in 2007 to confiscate civet cats led to a haul of 15 civet cats and 22 kilograms of civet-cat cutlets. Health authorities in the Guangdong city of Foshan recently banned the eating of field mice, after vendors were found to have killed the mice with poison before selling them to restaurants.
Although recent evidence suggests that wildlife consumption has slowed, there is also reason to believe that smuggling continues. If something on the scale of a SARS outbreak does not resurface, will the public become increasingly complacent about eating wild animals again? And will environmental education alter people’s eating habits and reduce wildlife consumption? We can only hope, but I am not so certain.

His affiliations include among others the Federation of American Scientists’ director of China Tropical Lands Research, the University of Hong Kong’s Kadoorie Agricultural Research Centre, and the South China Agricultural University in Guangzhou.

Communities around the world are building their own parallel Internets to stay out of reach of governments and major corporations.
In an effort to buck the expensive rates of unreliable corporate telecom companies, a community in Athens, Greece has created its own private Internet.
Built from a network of wireless rooftop antennas, the Athens Wireless Metropolitan Network (AWMN) now has more than 1,000 members. Data moves “through” the AWMN mesh up to 30 times faster than it does on the telecom-provided Internet.
According to Mother Jones, this off-the-grid community has become so popular in Athens and on nearby islands that it has developed its own Craigslist-esque classifieds service as well as blogs and an internal search engine.

Bruno Mars hopes his song doesn't play during Twilight's credits
Bruno Mars has spoken out about his excitement to be included on the soundtrack for the brand new Twilight movie.
The singer-songwriter's track 'It Will Rain' will be featured in the new feature film Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1 and he explained to Billboard.com that as long as it doesn't play as the credits roll he will be over the moon about its inclusion:
"I thought that it would be a perfect fit. The Twilight movies for me (are) a love story. But it's a dark love story. And I think the best way to describe the song is: it's the darker side of love. I think that pretty much sums it up."
"As long as it's not after the credits (I'm happy). I hope it's in a good (scene)!"
Check out a preview of the track and a recent interview with Mars here:

This little monkey is like the most annoying little brother or sister ever! And it is the most patient cat EVER!
On a positive thought, the monkey is very persistent in his quest to have fun even if the cat does not partake in his shenanigans. It just keeps going back to jump on the branch and swing, as it picks on the cat and intentionally teases each time it gets near. They are quite the comical pair, and obviously get along famously.
A few times the cat finally has enough and tries to be alpha dominant for about 2 seconds. Every time the monkey gets the best of the cat and the cat seems to be submissive to the monkey. I would venture to guess that this has been an ongoing game for them for an extended time. The monkey must have already cemented his dominant place in this game or in their relationship.

Egypt & Libya collaborating to improve energy exchanges between the two countries
Egypt plans to add 250 megawatts to the Libyan national grid with plans to further increase it to a 1000 MW in the future says Egypt's minister of electricity and renewable energy
Egypt’s government is considering raising electricity exports to Libya, which is a neighboring country. Egypt, having established itself as one of North Africa’s leading producers of renewable energy, is now looking for markets for its excess supply.
Since 1998, Egypt and Libya have been linked by a power line. This line adds 200 megawatts of power to Libya’s national grid. The Egyptian government plans to raise the capacity to 450 megawatts. A possibility that could aid reconstruction efforts in a country that has been ravaged by turmoil since the revolution and NATO interference in 2011.
“The power line linking Egypt and Libya will supply up to 450 MW, and there are proposals to expand this capacity to 1,000 MW in the future,” says Egypt’s minister of electricity and renewable energy, Mohammed Shaker El-Markabi.
Egypt already has the largest solar complex on the African continent. The plant, which has a capacity of 1,650 MWp, is located in Benban, Aswan’s governorate. This massive project was entirely built by independent power producers (IPPs) who sell their electricity to the utility. Other ventures being developed by these private companies include Kom Ombo (200 MWp) and Zaafarana (50 MWp).
IPPs still use wind energy, but they focus their installations in the Gulf of Suez, potentially obstructing migratory birds. Egypt, on the other hand, exports its surplus output to countries like Libya, Sudan, Jordan and soon Iraq because its entire population has access to electricity.

Cech, now 32, joined Chelsea 10 years ago having impressed with Rennes in France, and has been the Blues' first choice stopper ever since. The Czech Republic international has now made almost 500 appearances for Jose Mourinho's side, establishing himself as one of the top goalkeepers not only in the Premier League, but also in Europe.
His position between the sticks has been in doubt for some time though, with the emergence of youngster Thibaut Courtois a constant threat. The 22-year-old has spent the last three seasons on loan at Atletico Madrid having joined Chelsea from Genk back in 2011, but has now returned with his reputation as the finest young shot stopper in the world firmly in tact.
With Courtois back in West London, manager Mourinho had a decision to make; stick with his long-term first choice Cech, or go with the up-and-coming star in Courtois. Both were given equal playing time in pre-season to put the situation in even more doubt - but after Cech's shaky end to last season, Mourinho made the decision to start Courtois against Burnley in the first game of the season, essentially making it clear that Courtois was the first choice.
A new five-year contract is allegedly on the table for the Belgian, which adds more fuel to the idea that Cech's days at Stamford Bridge are numbered - and unsurprisingly, there are a number of teams reportedly interested in offering him a way out ahead of the transfer deadline.
Reports today suggest that Monaco and Real Madrid are monitoring the situation, whilst Paris Saint-Germain are leading the chase. Laurent Blanc's side have been linked with a number of goalkeepers already such as Tottenham's Hugo Lloris, with a belief that they can upgrade upon first choice stopper Salvatore Sirigu.
Meanwhile, Monaco have replaced Sergio Romero with Fulham's Maarten Stekelenburg on loan, but having made a poor start to the season, the Ligue 1 moneybags may look to bring in a top goalkeeper to begin their revival under new boss Leonardo Jardim.
Real Madrid appear to be the least likely team to target Cech given the signing of Keylor Navas already this summer, but one thing seems certain - Cech will have no shortage of offers should he choose to seek first-team football away from Chelsea.

Rep. James Comer (R-KY) was cornered on CNN on Saturday by fellow Kentuckian Pamela Brown.
"And if you look at the states that ban guns, and the cities that have banned guns -- Chicago, Washington, DC -- they have some of the highest rates of gun violence," Comer argued. "So, just passing laws banning guns doesn't solve the problem."
Brown pointed out a key flaw in his argument.
"But nearly two-thirds of crime guns recovered in states with strong gun laws were originally sold in states with weak gun laws. So if gun laws don't matter, why are criminals going to states with weaker gun laws, bringing that gun back to a state with stronger gun laws and committing crimes," Brown asked.
"Well, I can't answer that," Comer said.

“Hidden Figures” mathematician Katherine Johnson may have missed out on the Lego toy treatment, but she and 16 other women are getting the Barbie doll treatment just in time for International Women’s Day.
Today Mattel announced that it’s rolling out 17 new Barbie dolls — including 14 one-of-a-kind dolls that are styled after modern-day role models for its “Shero” program (a mashup of “she” and “hero”), plus a new line called “Inspiring Women” that pays tribute to historical role models.
Johnson, a 99-year-old black mathematician whose work at NASA was featured in the hit movie “Hidden Figures,” is included as one of the Inspiring Women, along with Mexican artist Frida Kahlo and pioneering American aviatrix Amelia Earhart.
To mark International Women’s Day on March 8, Mattel commissioned a survey of 8,000 mothers with daughters aged 10 or younger, and found that 81 percent of them worried about the types of role models their children were exposed to.
“We are thrilled to shine a light on real-life role models to remind them that they can be anything,” Lisa McKnight, senior vice president and general manager for the Barbie line at Mattel, said in a news release.
In its sales blurb, Mattel says Johnson’s Barbie “celebrates the achievements of a pioneer who broke through barriers of race and gender.”
Johnson was also included in a set of five proposed Lego minifigures honoring women scientists and explorers associated with NASA. But the final set, released by Lego late last year, didn’t include her. It eventually came out that Lego couldn’t get the required approval from Johnson and her family.
Did the fact that Johnson was destined for the Barbie doll treatment play a part in all that? Hard to tell, but in any case, it looks as if this toy story has a happy ending.
Here’s a list of the women immortalized this year as “Shero” Barbie dolls. These dolls aren’t going on sale but are being given to the women who inspired them:
- Patty Jenkins, ‘Wonder Woman’ director, USA – The first woman in history to helm a film with a budget in excess of $100 million.
- Chloe Kim, snowboarding champion, USA – First-generation Asian-American snowboarding champion and, at 17, the youngest woman to win a gold medal in snowboarding at the 2018 Olympics.
- Bindi Irwin, conservationist, Australia – Wildlife conservationist and celebrity who inherited her father’s passion for wildlife and is dedicated to inspiring the next generation.
- Nicola Adams, boxing champion, Britain – Two-time gold medalist who is Britain’s most successful female boxer of all time and the only female boxer in the history of the sport to have held all four amateur titles.
- Çağla Kubat, windsurfer, Turkey – Champion windsurfer and member of the Fenerbahçe sailing and windsurfing team who founded her own windsurfing school for young surfers.
- Hélène Darroze, chef, France – Fourth-generation French chef with three restaurants and two Michelin stars.
- Hui Ruoqi, volleyball champion, China – Captain of the Chinese women’s national volleyball team, who won gold in the 2016 Olympics.
- Leyla Piedayesh, designer and entrepreneur, Germany – Iranian immigrant and founder of fashion label lala Berlin, which incorporates urban-cool and elegant-chic elements in high-quality knitwear.
- Lorena Ochoa, professional golfer, Mexico – Athlete, mother, entrepreneur and promoter of golf in Mexico.
- Martyna Wojciechowska, journalist, Poland – TV presenter, magazine editor, author, director and the second Polish woman to conquer the Seven Summits.
- Sara Gama, soccer player, Italy – Captain of Juventus and the Italian national soccer team.
- Xiaotong Guan, actress and philanthropist, China – Ambassador for “World Life Day,” a joint campaign by the U.N. Environment Program, International Fund for Animal Welfare and The Nature Conservancy, and known as the “Nation’s Daughter” in China.
- Yuan Tan, ballet dancer, China – Prima ballerina and principal dancer at the San Francisco Ballet and guest principal dancer at the Hong Kong Ballet.
- Vicky Martin Berrocal, entrepreneur and fashion designer, Spain – Leads the creative direction for the Victoria fashion line with collections that include festive costumes, flamenco dresses, gowns, handbags and jewelry.
The “Inspiring Women” dolls will retail for $29.99 online and in stores. The new “Shero” dolls join others that have been released since 2015. Some of them, such as the dolls inspired by Olympic gymnast Gabby Douglas and ballet dancer Misty Copeland, have gone into wider production.

CORTLAND, N.Y. — City police officers gave St. Mary’s School students a special gift of lions, elephants, gorillas and camels (Oh my!) shortly before the holidays in the form of 200 donated Christmas tree ornaments.
The veritable Noah’s ark of ornaments, donated by Central New York Spay/Neuter Assistance Program (CNY SNAP), delighted the school’s children, said Officer Jesse Abbott, who runs the department’s community oriented policing office.
Having such positive interactions with city children and their parents is the goal of the grant- and donation- funded Office of Community Oriented Policing, Abbott said.
“It just builds that trust in the community,” he said.
And trust-building is important for community relations, said Lt. Rick Troyer.
“It’s a very good thing,” Troyer said. “So the little kids know that cops are your friend.”
When Abbott’s former high school gym teacher, Mary Lou Bordwell, contacted him late in December and gave him a tote of more than 200 animal ornaments from CNY SNAP, Abbott knew he wanted to give them away to city school children.
Earlier this winter Abbott gave away about 100 knitted caps crafted by the city’s Silver Needles Knitting Club to children at Parker and Smith elementary schools. Last year, about 100 caps were handed out at Randall and Barry schools, Abbott said. It was St. Mary’s turn to receive a gift, he said.
The department coordinated the animal ornament release through Mary Beth Catalano, a preschool teacher’s aide at the school. Her husband, Chief F. Michael Catalano, patiently counted the ornaments to ensure there was enough for all of the children, Abbott said.
Abbott, along with officers Chad Knapp, Joe Peters and Ryan Gross, handed out the ornaments during the morning prayer assembly on Dec. 21.
Boardwell and the members of CNY SNAP didn’t know the children at St. Mary’s, but chose to be kind to them anyway, Abbott told the students, encouraging them to pass kindness along.
“[I told the kids] ‘It’s important to be kind,’” Abbott said in an interview this morning. “Let’s try to be kind, not only to each other – the other kids and your teachers – but to strangers, like CNY SNAP did.”

Escape from the heart of an erupting tropical volcano onboard Nemesis Inferno, the inverted rollercoaster and sister ride to Nemesis at Alton Towers.
|Theme Park||Thorpe Park|
|Park Area||The Jungle|
|Opened||5 April 2003|
|Manufacturer||Bolliger & Mabillard|
|Max Speed||48 mph|
Nemesis Inferno is themed around a tropical volcano, with the track of the rollercoaster twisting around and through the volcano itself. It is an Inverted Coaster from B&M, meaning that riders are suspended beneath the track with legs danging. It takes its name from Nemesis, the world renowned rollercoaster at Thorpe Park's sister park, Alton Towers.
The rollercoaster was opened for the 2003 season, and was a big marker in Thorpe Park's transition from local attraction into a major theme park destination complete with world class thrill rides. This was a somewhat 'golden era' of investment at the park, with Nemesis Inferno opening just one year after Colossus, Thorpe Park's first large rollercoaster. It was built on land formerly occupied by the Mr Rabbit's Tropical Travels boat ride, which was redeveloped following a major fire in 2000 that damaged part of the boat ride and completely destroyed the Wicked Witches Haunt dark ride.
Nemesis Inferno's station is high up inside the ride's large volcano. Trains leave the station to emerge briefly into the daylight, before taking a banked turn and diving inside a smoke filled tunnel and back into the heart of the volcano. After some gentle swooping through the smoke and lighting effects, the train exits the tunnel and engages with the lift hill.
At the top of the lift, the train accelerates quickly downwards before navigating around a vertical loop. Following this comes a zero-G roll, then a pair of interlocking corkscrews. After running through a powerful helix, the train ascends back to the station level before hitting the final brake run still with considerable energy.
Thanks to its name, Nemesis Inferno inevitably draws comparisons to Nemesis, which is often listed as one of the best rollercoasters in the world. While it doesn't quite live up to that, Inferno still provides a brilliant ride experience. Even into its second decade, it is wonderfully smooth and gives thrills in all the right places. Even with its high capacity, it can often attract long queues as guests return to ride it again and again. Like a phoenix, Nemesis Inferno rose from the ashes of the great fire of Thorpe Park, and continues to burn brightly.

Is a declining US good for China?
Updated: 2014-06-13 08:33
By Chen Weihua (China Daily)
When the Asia Society's ChinaFile online magazine invited me to discuss whether a declining United States is good for China, my feeling was the question was loaded and confusing. Loaded because it seems to assume that Chinese will celebrate a declining US, given the sensational headlines of strategic rivalry between the two nations we see so often in the news media.
Yes. There are Chinese who might jubilate over a declining US, just as there are those in the US who are eager to see China go bust. But that is by no means the majority in both nations.
But first we should clarify whether the question refers to an absolute decline or a relative decline. These are starkly different questions and will get different answers.
An absolute decline of the US, in my view, is not happening because the US economy is still growing and its military is stronger and better equipped than ever. That is also true in many other sectors, such as education and technology.
But a relative decline of the US is already taking place with the rise of countries such as China, India, Brazil and many other developing nations. Such a relative decline will become increasingly prominent in the coming decades as emerging economies continue to expand at a faster pace than the US.
An absolute decline of the US would not serve China's interests, because China has benefited enormously from a strong US in growing its economy, education, technology and various other sectors in the past 30 years of reform and opening-up. The US' relative decline will continue in the coming decade, but an absolute decline would not benefit China much.
Now the question becomes whether the relative decline of the US is good for China and other emerging economies. The answer now is a definite yes.
And the US has also reaped fruits from the rise of China in the last three decades.
The relative decline of the US means that not only has China lifted more people out of poverty, but also there are more middle-class Chinese, who can afford to travel to the US and send their children to American universities. And there is more Chinese investment in the US. That has been happening and has been warmly welcomed by the state and city governments in the US.
