Why Ontario needs a long-term affordable housing strategy – By John Bonnar
Affordable, HNO, Homelessness, Housing, Housing Network of Ontario, Ontario, Poverty, Report
By John Bonnar
Those living in poverty should, said the HNO “be consulted on an inclusive basis throughout the development of the long-term affordable housing strategy, and be involved in the evaluation of its implementation.”
“It is not sufficient to just continue existing programs, it is clear that the system that exists does not fairly, equitably or adequately address housing needs in Ontario, added the HNO, a network of anti-poverty activists, homelessness and social housing advocates, equity and human rights groups, non-profit organizations and tenants with lived experience of poverty.
“There must be sustained, on-going investment in affordable housing programs. There is no quick-fix, but urgent action is needed.”
The new report says:
- According to the 2006 Census, 1 in every 5 Ontario tenants spends more than 50% of their income on rent.
- Across Ontario 627,000 households are in core housing need, living in housing that is unaffordable, substandard, over-crowded or all three.
- In 2009 there are over 129,000 households on the waiting list for social housing where rent is geared to income. Wait times can be as long as 20 years.
According to the HNO, housing insecurity, homelessness and poverty are “inseparably linked” making Ontario’s housing crisis “both a housing problem and an income problem.”
“Housing helps people participate in the economy, and solutions to poverty and economic problems will help provide people with the means to access housing,” said the HNO.
Across the province, the report said, participants in consultations and meetings identified the top areas for policy action and inclusion.
Their recommendations include:
- Introduce a universal housing benefit provided monthly to all low-income Ontarians, whether they are on social assistance or not, to address the gap between tenant incomes and housing costs.
- The Ontario government must invest in a permanent program with annual funding to develop new rent-geared-to-income, affordable and supportive homes across Ontario.
- The provincial government needs to invest in supportive housing programs.
- Change the rent-geared-to-income subsidy from 30% of gross income to 20 or 25% of gross income, or at a subsidy sufficient to allow enough left over for living expenses.
- Widen the priority list for social housing to include individuals from equity seeking communities, such as Aboriginal and racialized peoples, people with disabilities, mental health consumers and others.
- The Province should fully upload the cost of social housing from municipalities.
- Clear targets should be set, with benchmarks and timelines so that outcomes can be reliably and adequately assessed.

BUFFALO, N.Y. - U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers identified an aircraft arriving at Niagara Falls International Airport on February 4, whose pilot was wanted on a Maryland warrant for a weapons offense.
CBP officers met the private aircraft on arrival, where they confirmed the outstanding warrant and arrested the pilot. After processing, the pilot was turned over to the Lewiston Police, facing extradition to Maryland.
“We continue to work closely all law enforcement agencies to ensure the safety of our citizens. These partnerships are essential in ensuring wanted subjects are turned over to proper authorities,” said Acting Port Director Cary Frieling. “Our officers are vigilant in their efforts to expedite legitimate travelers while interdicting criminals.”
U.S. Customs and Border Protection is the unified border agency within the Department of Homeland Security charged with the management, control and protection of our nation's borders at and between the official ports of entry. CBP is charged with keeping terrorists and terrorist weapons out of the country while enforcing hundreds of U.S. laws.

Impatient People - "I Want it All, and I Want it Now"
Impatient people are everywhere. You know the ones. They’re constantly frustrated, and nothing satisfies them. When they’re happy, their happiness is short-lived and laced with anxiety. In the next instant, they need more. Few things feed negative emotions or make it so difficult to get along with someone like impatience.
Most of us know someone like this. Or maybe you have an impatient temperament that’s difficult to control. But what does living this way do to you? What are the emotional and psychological side effects of impatience?
First of all, living this way leads to serious stress and anxiety. British writer John Ruskin said that hope stops being joyful when it’s accompanied by impatience. Thus, impatience limits your well-being and makes it hard to get along with other people. If you learn to manage it, you’ll be a more peaceful, patient, and centered person.
Impatient people and their constant frustration
Some people believe that impatience is on the rise, especially among young people. Nowadays, children and teenagers have a very low tolerance for frustration. They need instant gratification, “likes” on their photos, and constant positive social reinforcement.
The problem, however, is more complex than just social media addiction. For example, a study from the National University of Singapore analyzed a group of over a thousand students and yielded some very interesting results. Dr. Xin Zhang, co-author of the study, indicated that there’s a relationship between impatience and cognitive and social incompetence.
Impatient people are impulsive, act without thinking, and are incapable of enjoying the here and now. They also tend to pass judgment very quickly. Impatient people don’t think much about the information they receive because they have a short attention span and are reticent to changing their minds. When you’re always in a rush, there’s no time to consider other perspectives and learn from them.
Impatient people also tend to have more relationship problems. They’re difficult to get along with. When they want something, they want it now. They don’t have the respect, understanding, and emotional intimacy that’s needed to connect with others.
Impatience isn’t simply a lack of patience, it’s a lack of education
At its core, impatience is a learned behavior. Your culture, context, and upbringing determine how patient you are. Parents often fail at teaching their children to wait patiently and accept the anxiety of not getting instant gratification.
Instead of waiting patiently, you lose your mind when the Internet connection is slow or when someone doesn’t respond immediately to your text… Patience has to be taught at home and at school. However, each individual is responsible for practicing it every day, even as society tries to push you along at 200 mph.
Tips for controlling impatience
You can turn your impatience into patience if you learn how to control your emotions and immediate impulses. To do that, reflect on the following questions:
- When do I get impatient? What’s the usual context? It’s worth stopping to analyze these situations that get out of hand and wake up your inpatient side. For many people, driving makes them impatient. For other people, trying to raise a challenging child or teenager or even just generally trying to get along with people.
- What triggers it? The second step is to identify the triggers. Here are some examples: “I get impatient when my son takes forever to get up in the morning to go to school”, “I feel really impatient when I’m in a traffic jam”, or “I can’t stand to wait for test results, it puts me in a bad mood”.
- What do you do to deal with impatience? Try to be aware of whether or not you use some strategies to control your impatience. Are they enough?
- Apply a rational focus. A useful strategy to deal with impatience is to work through the problem with your rational mind. For example, if you get anxious when your teenage son seems unconcerned about his responsibilities, try to avoid getting mad at him. After all, being in a bad mood will only make things worse. Instead, talk to him in a patient way and reason with him so you can come to an agreement.
- Mindfulness. Lastly, it’s a good idea to look into strategies such as mindfulness because they can be incredibly useful for calming an impatient mind. They also help with attention and emotional management.
In conclusion, it’s clear that impatient people will always exist. In certain circumstances, everyone has the potential to behave impatiently. Nevertheless, you should use the proper strategies and means to train your mind to stay calm. It’ll greatly improve your quality of life.It might interest you...

This is mostly for you +Katia Kotula especially while you are in Austin,
I’m gonna try some of this on Stark. We will be having some male friends
over for the 4th so I wanted to see how it goes a little at a time.
Isn’t every new stranger going to have to go through the same things you
just did again and again???
My dog is really really bad with men. He was abused in the past and it is
almost as if he is tricking them because he will let them pet him and do
all that then when they get up and come towards me or my family it’s like
BOOM then he goes in and bites them. He is also really really big which
makes people “scared” to come near. (Greyhound shepherd Great Dane) he
never barks or anything like that. He growls. He was also like this with my
two year old niece, and is very food aggressive with everyone but me. WHAT
SHOULD I DO?!?!
Thumbnail: how to stop barking at people. XD
I had a dog named Millie that was killed over 1 year ago last summer in
This was an exceptional video! Thank you!
We just recently got a pit bull puppy but the thig is, when we put a leash
on him he just sits down and will start to do flips if we pull on the
leash. We have been carrying him all day except for when he doesn’t have
the leash on but he will wander around when the leash is off, what should I
do. ( also is it too early to start puppy training anyways, he is 8 weeks
This is a great video with a lot of information packed in it. I think it’s
one of your better ones.
Zachariah has been watching the dog whisperer.

Great job. I liked how she warmed up to you at the end.
I have just come across your videos and I find them very helpful concerning
my new puppy. What type of things can be done when he barks at people,
including my boyfriend and myself, for attention? Even if he’s exercised,
how can I teach him to be calm and quiet when we have guests over? Hes in
the process of being crate triained, so I understand that is part of it,
but he is ver persistant with the barking and its not out of fear or
anxiety. Thanks again.
arent u reinforcing the barking when u give her turkey, while she is
nice !!! it was an anatolian shepherd ???
So, my little poodle has a similar issue that when we rescued her, she was
terrified of men… She would react in much the same way that Milli did and
we worked really hard for the last 2 years to make her comfortable around
strangers and she has gotten so much better over time… Oddly though, she
has managed to eventually warm up to every person we have introduced her to
except for my cousin (a fairly tall, and strong man)… She will not even
go into the same room as him and there does not seem to be any way of
convincing her to even be within eyeshot… We have used the same
techniques with my cousin that worked on every single other person but she
just will not go anywhere near him… Is this normal for a dog to
generalize a social calm behavior with everyone except one particular
person or is there something else we should try with my cousin… Just
wondering if anyone had any advice for variations to try on this topic…
I have a puppy that is 6 months old and I have done a great job with
socializing with people. He loves people almost too much so if someone
walks by him, he wags his tail and begs for attention, if he is ignored, he
barks at the person until they acknowledge him. Are there any tips for this
if someone can recomend advice to get my 4 month old puppy to stop jumping
Hi i have a german shepherd and hes very smart he challenges me and he
tries to go around training and be obedient and he just wants the treat and
he doesn’t clue into commands and i feel discouraged about his actions
Can you make a video on how to teach your family to cooperate?
this guys jus a wanbee ceasar milan he suggests tricks dat any normal human
with common sense wold do him self jus making money bagging sponsors and
making dumb videos
My 7 months old puppy does not know how to react with other people or dogs
This was a good video, My dog will do almost the same thing that this dog
does when she is around people she doesn’t know & my dog will bark at men
as well. I learned to good tips from this video to teach my dog. :)
how do i train my dog not to pee inside the house?
My chihuahua is just like her. He’s so bribeable by food though.
this helped me so so so much thanks
hi zak i know you have videos on teaching dogs fetch but i have a question.
I have been trying to teach my dog marmaduke a miniature schnauzer how to
fetch and am having a hard time. My dog chases after it fine its just the
bring back part that he doesn’t understand. He’ll bring it about half way
and when i bend down to get the toy he’ll run away from me and continues
playing with his toy. Even when i start of close when i reach to get the
toy or he sees me hell run and play with the toy. I know he loves me
throwing it because he’ll offer a default sit right away. He is both toy
and food motivated. I tried the chasing method but as soon as i turn
around or bend down to get the toy he’ll run away. I also tried the treat
in the ball method which did not work for me either. Any tips or could you
have a video on this?
Its a really nice and easy way to train your dog not to be afraid of
Zak, do you have a video that addresses training your dog to be tolerant of
brushing their teeth? I’ve been searching for a good video on this and have
yet to find one. Thanks!
Milli did so well with you, that’s amazing!
I’ve just shared this with a group of my refuge-assisting volunteer friends
in France. We have a lot of hunt dogs and badly-socialised dogs who are
nervous around people. The body language stuff in this should be compulsory
for anyone around a nervous dog. Thanks so much for all this great advice
in one short video (I wish all my guests were as sensible – oh well!)
Fantastic! I will be sharing this with my clients. What a great example on
how effective reward based training works. Kudos!
Your awesome it really helped me and I think the dog wanted more food when
she was licking your hand
I really needed this!!! But problem is that my dog barks at big scary men
on the street, and they just keep staring straight at him, I’m not sure how
to tell them not to make eye contact with my dog :P
I have problems with my two year old adopted shepherd mix. He is a very
well trained dog and gets lots of exercise, but his problem is that he
barks and charges our fence when people walk by. He sounds vicious and
scares people. I have a difficult time getting his attention. Please help!
My 3 year old dog won’t sit while I am taking him on a walk. Please help
Any advice on how to stop my dog from barking at any and every person we
pass when we are driving in the car; people walking down the street, riding
a bicycle, in the parking lot, etc? She barks at everyone whether they are
close to or far away from the car.
My dog is tentatively skiddish of men, but he generally loves them if they
play with him. My problem is dealing with strangers or people (other than
me and my wife) that come into the house (actually just moved into a new
apartment). He is aggressive to anyone who comes on our lawn, and
extremely aggressive to people who walk into our house (without his
approval first). He will nip them if they are pretty rigid, or he doesn’t
know them that well. But we normally introduce people to him outside where
he can bark and eventually smell and warm up to them. Now living in an
apartment, he is a little better since new smells, people, and dogs are all
around, but he will bark at any noise from outside. Do you have a video
that addresses any or all of these issues?
Hey zak, I have a problem and I was wondering if you could help me out. I
have a 4.5 mo old great dane and I have been told that he is very well
behaved throughout the day by his babysitter, but when I pick him up
everyday and take him home.. He gets very hyper and starts barking whenever
I don’t play with him or gets what he wants. I think he is taking advantage
of me and acting out only to me.. what can I do?
How about the dog with fear aggression. Not biting but violent barking
with all dogs and people outside of their family.
I dont like my dog charging at the fence. He scares everyone. Makes some of
the smaller ones cry.
Barks all crazy at people walking by.
+Zak George Thank you im 10 yrs and i have got a german shephered and all
your videos helped me soo much i apriciate it!
I like watching zak Georges you tube videos im always open to new idea’s
and reinstall older ways in a different way. Thanks zak for your tips and
tricks its been a blast my puppy sam and I are
Having a great time training using some of your training advice. Tony

“Beyond the Lights” actor Nate Parker has added some star power to this upcoming Nat Turner biopic, “The Birth of a Nation.” According to IndieWire.com, Gabrielle Union, Aunjanue Ellis, Colman Domingo, Aja Naomi King, Dwight Henry, and Roger Guenveur Smith will join previously announced cast member, Arnie Hammer. Parker plays Turner and will also serve as the film’s director.
“The Birth of a Nation” chronicles the life of Nat Turner, the African-American slave who led a slave rebellion on August 21, 1831. The revolutionary freed Blacks and slaves that resulted in the deaths of 60 whites. Although he was captured, arrested and hung for his actions, Turner is without a doubt one of the most revered figures in African-American history.

Two years ago, I spent a day with Gemtech in Boise, Idaho. I learned a lot, met good folks, tested great equipment, and did an article about it. (THE STRONG SILENT TYPE: Straight Scoop on Suppressors, January 2017 S.W.A.T.).
I expected to see a facility like LaRue—rows of machines, guys busily building silencers. When I asked, I was told they were manufactured off-site, in Michigan.
At a training conference last year I was introduced to Greg Latka of GSL Technology. He’s an interesting guy, a master machinist for over 50 years who built aerospace equipment. In 1985 he got interested in silencers, got his first patent in 1991, and joined Gemtech a year after it was founded. He became president a couple of years later and stayed in that role for 22 years, and was also the lead designer and engineer. GSL built all of Gemtech’s silencers from 1995 to 2005, and most of them until recently.
Businesses are like any other relationships—some last forever, some fall apart. Greg went his own way about the time Gemtech was purchased by Smith & Wesson, and he’s now building cans in his Michigan facility. I was working on a trade of NFA weapons with an agency, and GSL kindly provided me some test samples.
MULTI CAL AND WOODLAND
I have a couple of rifles with the Gemtech QD flash hider/mount, so I checked out the Multi Cal first. I was surprised when I opened it, since QD mounts for both 5.56 and 7.62 were included—no need to buy additional parts. Like the Gemtech One, the Multi Cal will suppress everything from .300 Winchester to .22 LR. I moved it from .308 to 5.56 and was impressed with the reduction. When I put it on my .300 Blackout upper, it came into its own. Shooting Black Hills 220-grain subsonic rounds, it truly was a whisper.
OK, I was having fun. I next took out a Browning Black Label and a Browning Buckmark, both with threaded barrels. I screwed the .22 Woodland suppressor onto the Buckmark first, later the Black Label, and had a ball. With any of the subsonic loads I have (CCI, Remington, and Gemtech), both guns and suppressor worked flawlessly. It sounded like a pellet gun, and the can weighs only ounces.
I ran around the woods like a kid, shooting sticks and pine cones for half an hour—nice to be able to do that without ear protection.
A few days later, I changed out the stock on my old sniper rifle, a Remington 700 in .308. I’d used a different rifle, in a Magpul stock, at a class at Thunder Ranch and really liked the ability to use ten-round detachable magazines, so I replaced the stock with the same Magpul Hunter. I re-zeroed the gun with Black Hills 168-grain Match and found it was just as accurate as the old stock. I got some distance work in, and shot for an hour, dialing DOPE from 100 to 650 yards.
I decided to test the point-of-impact shift when a can is added. A shift is expected due to a change in barrel harmonics and the additional weight to the muzzle. The rifle is a Remington 700 .308 that started life as an off-the-
rack Varminter. Since the gun is zeroed for 100 yards, I fired a five-shot group without the GSL GT-308, then with it—no change of POI using Black Hills 168-grain Match.
The rifle has a heavy barrel, and the GT-308 is a little lighter than my older suppressor. A buddy dropped by, so we did a totally unscientific comparison: We fired three rounds suppressed, swapped the suppressor for the older one from another company, and fired three more. We each did this twice, didn’t compare notes, then swapped both roles. The GSL seemed quieter, and the manual states sound reduction as 32db. It weighs 15.3 ounces and it’s made from titanium.
Since I had a little time, I broke out my Colt 9mm SMG. I have a Browning Hi Power that I want to try suppressed, but my barrel hadn’t arrived. I opened the box on the GSL Scorpion 9mm. Again, the box held the suppressor, QD mount/flash hider, and a small bag of thin stainless-steel shims that I was puzzled about for a minute.
I screwed on the mount finger tight, then tried to mount the can—it hit the bayonet lug and wouldn’t go on. I immediately understood the shims. I added three, tried, repeat, and repeat, until all ten shims were used—eureka! GSL obviously knows what the can may be used on, so they provided what was needed. I unscrewed it, applied Loctite, and threaded it back on.
I loaded a couple of mags with full-power ball and let ‘er rip—no function problems, so I switched to subsonic 147-grain FMJ. Last fall in Texas at an NRA class I taught, I’d met a young guy who’s trying to get into the ammo loading business. His company is called Armadillo Tactical Supply. He seemed like a good guy and he asked me to try his ammo, which arrived a month later. I’d shot some .45, 9mm, and .38 Super earlier, and all were accurate and reliable. The box also had 100 rounds of subsonic 9mm.
I figure a submachine gun is for close-quarters work, so I zeroed it at 25 yards with 147-grain factory ammo. Once zeroed, I shot it at 50, 75, and 100 yards to figure point of aim; the variable would be the bullet weights, since I have 115-, 124-, and 147-grain loads in my stash.
I then mounted the GSL Scorpion 9mm suppressor. I fired ten slow rounds to check the accuracy, which was right on. I moved away from my shop, which bounces sound back, and tried some semi- and full-auto bursts. His loads were very quiet, reliable, and as accurate as the factory subsonic I shot. When I last checked, his prices were a little cheaper than factory, so it’s worth trying Armadillo Tactical Supply ammo in your guns. I fired all 100 rounds through the suppressed Colt without a stoppage.
I have two 1911 rail guns in .45 ACP. Both guns have Ed Brown threaded barrels, so I decided to test the GSL Python. Since .45 ball usually runs about 850 fps, it’s already subsonic. The GSL Python is seven inches long and weighs 10.2 ounces, so it’s not huge. Even so, the can on the end of a full-size Colt is a large package.
It would seem that a five-inch barrel with a seven-inch suppressor, shooting a subsonic cartridge would be really, really quiet. Not so. Even though the Python reduces muzzle blast by 30db and the sharp crack is removed, the sound is dull but noticeable until you get a little distance away. I took it with me to Thunder Ranch, wanting to run through The Terminator with the Colt, SureFire light, and suppressor. All worked well together, shot well, and would be a good package for using a pistol indoors. You still have a free hand for doors, etc, and you can hear what’s going on around you.
I also tried the SWAT 5.56mm unit. I have a 12.5-inch Colt CQB select-fire that is really loud. If you shot it without ear protection in a real situation, you’d be deaf for a while. I dropped in a Gemtech BCG, which is designed to allow suppressed/unsuppressed fire with a turn of a screw. When it works, it eliminates the need for a gas block change, but the upper receiver has to be opened to switch modes.
The SWAT is a direct-thread unit, so I unscrewed the flash hider and screwed on the suppressor. The 5.56 round can’t really be quieted too much, hence the .300 Blackout, but it can be made hearing safe. I loaded a magazine with standard 55-grain ball and headed out the door.
This Colt has a fairly slow rate of fire, which made control easier. I ran 150 rounds of mixed ball through the gun with the suppressor and no ear protection. I was happy to hear that the report from the gun was noticeably less than with the Multi Cal, which is to be expected—the muzzle hole is smaller, and direct threading leads to a tighter mount. The gun and the can performed flawlessly.
A short 5.56 is selected because it’s … short. However, the muzzle blast is noticeably higher than with a 14.5-inch gun, so a quality suppressor is a good addition. The contradiction is that the can adds eight inches in length, but it’s a sacrifice worth making.
SUPPRESSOR PROS AND CONS
There are lots of reasons to own/use a silencer (the BATFE legal name for the devices). It makes the weapon hearing safe, can make your shooting discreet, and offers tactical advantages in some cases.
The Spokane, Washington, PD just added “OSHA approved sound reduction devices” to every carbine in the department. My hearing is already shot, pun intended, so I left the Python on my bedside Colt Rail Gun. I left the GT-308 attached to my bolt gun, which is zeroed for 300 yards, the distance to my front gate. The Multi Cal is attached to my Colt 6920 with the .300 Blackout upper.
The flip side, if it concerns you, is that a silencer is an NFA device and must be registered with BATFE. Failure to buy a legal one is a ten-year prison term. If you don’t want “them” to know who and where you are, don’t buy one. If, like me, you’re already in every federal database, don’t sweat it.
I don’t know of any company that advertises an inferior product at a higher price than its competitors—that’d be bad for business. GSL promises a silencer as good as or better than anything on the market, at less cost. I’ve called the company a few times in recent months, and an actual human answered the phone! Said human then transferred me to the appropriate department or individual, which is great customer service in this day and age.
I was just at my dojo in South Bend, Indiana, where I met a builder of really nice ARs. He let me shoot a few, both suppressed and not. I asked who builds his suppressors, and he replied GSL. He said they make the best silencers on the market, and he can’t compete with them if he built his own. GSL does “private labeling” for numerous companies, so brand X may in fact be built by GSL.
I’m impressed enough with the GSL suppressor line that I’ve recommended them to the department I’m dealing with on a trade. I wouldn’t do that for anyone if I thought the product were less than the best.

Mainstream poverty analysis currently renders certain people and degrees of privation more socially legible than others across high-income countries. This paper examines how these hierarchies carry through to and corrupt wider social scientific analysis, inscribing differential value to actors and phenomena in ways that undermine social understanding and explanation. First, conventional approaches to poverty analysis and measurement obscure the de facto prevalence of deep poverty, as well as those most subject to its violence. Second, a growing number of hyper-marginalised groups are missing from population income surveys, undermining the accuracy of (deep) poverty estimates and public understanding of both its determinants and dynamics. Third, the inferential and external validity of income surveys is significantly diminished by problems surrounding data quality and coverage. Attempts to address this have principally focused on improving data quality, but as demonstrated in this paper, these strategies exacerbate poor representation of the lowest-income groups in distributional analysis. Much more than merely technical or pragmatic, these are theoretical and normative judgements about who counts in welfare policy and politics. Overall, I demonstrate how current data practices occlude some the most violent forms of denigration and exploitation that structure advanced marginality, particularly the gendered, racialised, bordering and ableist practices underpinning state-citizen dynamics.Focusing principally on the UK context, I argue that the epistemic erasure committed features in and systematises a policy blindness to deep poverty for some of the most marginalised social groups making it harder to evidence its effects and address its causes across high-income countries.
Official statistics tend to rely on a headcount approach to poverty measurement, distinguishing ‘the poor’ from the ‘non-poor’ on the basis of an anchored threshold. Invariably, this does little to engage with the gradations of material hardship affecting those living, to varying degrees, below the poverty line. In response, this paper interrogates an apparent flatlining in UK poverty to establish the changing profile of poverty, as well as those most affected by it. Drawing on the Family Resources survey, this paper reveals an increasing depth of poverty in the UK since 2010, with bifurcation observable in the living standards of different percentile groups below the poverty line. In addition, this paper demonstrates substantial compositional changes in the socio-demographic profile of (deep) poverty. Since 2010, the likelihood of falling into deep poverty has increased for women, children, larger families, Black people and those in full-time work. Within the context of COVID-19, I argue there is a need to re-think how we currently conceptualise poverty by better attending to internal heterogeneity within the broader analytical and methodological category of ‘the poor’. Doing so raises pressing questions about the prevailing modes of poverty measurement that tend to frame and delimit the social scientific analysis of poverty, as well as the policies deemed appropriate in tackling it.
Through the governance of successive crises, social and material dispossession has been meted out with disciplinary intentions and effects across high-income countries. This paper surfaces the ‘hidden injuries’ of deepening privation that are often occluded through prevailing modes of poverty analysis. We do so by drawing on qualitative longitudinal, ethnographic research to examine what bearing permacrisis has on the everyday survival strategies, sociality and health of those on the lowest incomes in the UK. Focusing on the experiences retained and recovered through a novel sampling, recruitment and retention strategy, we demonstrate how those worst affected by socioeconomic restructuring are also those most likely to fall outwith the sociological gaze and research process. Attending to the empirical problem and theoretical potential of absence throughout, we reflect on the corpus of experience we tend to centre in sociological analysis, and the corpus of experience that is ‘left behind’ in the process.
What impact should our social security system have on poverty and disadvantage? It is a fundamental question for welfare states, but one that inevitably pivots on contested ideas surrounding human need, desert and motivation. To decide the level at which benefits should be set, decision-makers have tended to fixate on questions of work or contribution and neglect more basic issues of adequacy and coverage. While there are all sorts of overlapping functions of social security, arguably the central purpose should be to provide a basic minimum that prevents or alleviates poverty. In this article, we present new evidence of broad public support for higher benefit levels in the UK, in line with a more generous Minimum Income Standard.
Longer-term progress made in reducing socioeconomic disparities between white and Black and minority ethnic people in the UK has largely stalled in the UK since the 2007-08 global financial crisis. Changes to the tax-benefit system have been highly regressive, but also racialised with Black and minority ethnic people, especially women, losing the most. This briefing for the Runnymede Trust outlines racial inequalities and discrimination that structure a disproportionate exposure to and risk of (deep) poverty amongst minority ethnic people today. We focus principally on the impact of the social security system and 'Energy Price Guarantee', and consider what lessons this could offer to more effectively protect the livelihoods of Black and minority ethnic people amidst rising inflation and a stalling economy.
Rising inflation is pulling those already below the poverty line into deeper, more severe forms of financial crisis. How are those towards the very bottom of the income distribution being affected by the cost-of-living crisis? In what ways do their experiences differ from the more general challenges of living on a low income? And what can be done to ensure institutions and services are responsive to their needs? Drawing on in-depth qualitative interviews with 40 people living in Leeds, this briefing explores these questions to better understand the ‘cliff edges’ and compounding forms of disadvantage that deep poverty can engender in the lives of those affected.
How have changes to the benefits system affected low-income families over the last decade and what does this mean for their exposure to the economic fallout of COVID-19? What has happened to depth of poverty, particularly for the poorest BAME children? And what reform agenda does this set for social security beyond the pandemic? Written for Child Poverty Action Group, this briefing draws on HBAI data to explore these questions.


On a hot, July 4th in the Bronx, NYPD Officers Catherine Guzman, Mariana Diaz and two of their colleagues were disciplined by a superior for tossing a football around with a 7-year-old boy outside a housing project, The New York Daily News reports.
Deputy Chief James McNamara, the commanding officer of the Bronx Housing Bureau spotted the cops engaging in some friendly "community policing" and publicly berated them, asking, "'What are you doing? Do you realize you are on overtime?"
Two of the officers accepted a penalty of two vacation days. Guzman and Diaz, however, are now formally challenging the ruling in the department court room.
"I don't think throwing a football to a 7-year-old boy is misconduct," said Officer Catherine Guzman, a 17-year veteran of the force. "It was the Fourth of July, it was 96 degrees out and we were interacting with the community."
"Everybody was happy," she added.
And the two women might have a good case.
Recently, Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Police Commissioner Ray Kelly didn't see the need to discipline some male cops getting down and dirty with scantily clad women during the West Indian Day parade in Brooklyn on Labor Day. Bloomberg even went so far to say that the incident, captured in a viral video, was a great advertisement for New York City.
It's a also a tense moment for NYPD-community relations in the city.
And earlier this summer, the two "rape cops" were found not guilty of raping a drunk woman they escorted home, but found guilty of official misconduct for repeatedly entering the woman's apartment and "spooning" with her in bed.
Guzman and Diaz will make their case at the risk of facing even harsher discipline for "fail[ing] and neglect[ing] to remain alert" during the game of catch, The News reports.

There are a tremendous number of local boutiques and fashionable stores within easy reach of Olympic Heights.
In fact, there are five major shopping centers within 15 minutes or less of Olympic Heights. All together, these shopping centers represent an assortment of more than 440 additional department stores, movie theaters, restaurants, and local and national merchants. For groceries, residents of Olympic Heights go to their neighborhood HEB or Randalls, both just minutes from home.
A Day of Food, Shopping and Fun at Southpark Meadows
Southpark Meadows, less than 5 minutes away, has more than 125 stores, restaurants and entertainment options. Among the most popular stores at Southpark Meadows are a SuperTarget, JC Penney, Walmart, Sam’s Club, Ross, Bed Bath & Beyond, Best Buy, Dress Barn, Lane Bryant, Men’s Wearhouse, Office Max, Marshall’s, Payless Shoes, and PetsSmart, to name a few.
Southpark Meadows’ dining options include Carino’s Italian Restaurant, Chili’s, Green Mesquite BBQ, Austin’s Pizza and Orange Leaf Frozen Yogurt. The center also features a 14-screen Cinemark multiplex which attracts Olympic Heights residents who want to check out the latest movies. Southpark is also known for its laid back vibe. The center features a mini-outdoor amphitheater that hosts an ongoing family-friendly series of musical performances, a popular playground, and a splashpad.
The Cadillac of Pizzas and Austin-Area Chefs’ Go-To Mexican Restaurant
Café 1626 is best known for their delicious comfort foods for lunch, dinner or in between. Diners seem to love the whole menu – burgers, pizzas, pasta dishes, salads and subs. Among the popular pizzas are “The Cadillac” (fully loaded and top of the line), “The Road Kill” (every meat topping) and “The Farm to Market” (with every veggie). The Blackened Cheeseburger, served with piping hot, delicious fries, is spicy and full of flavor. Some patrons choose from the wide variety of beer and wine.
A hidden gem lies less than 5 minutes from the neighborhood — Mi Ranchito Taqueria. The place doesn’t necessarily look like the kind of eatery people would expect to receive rave reviews and be named by food critics and chefs in Austin as their “go-to Mexican restaurant.” Even glancing at the menu, Mi Ranchito Taqueria’s looks like many other menus in little taquerias around town.
The difference is the quality and flavor of the food. Diners who order breakfast tacos, tortas, gorditas, or platters with entrees such as carne guisada or pork in salsa verde, or the lightly-breaded chile rellenos — or even hamburgers — rave that its literally some of the best Mexican food anywhere. Mi Ranchito’s special hamburger comes with a tremendous beef patty topped with jack cheese, generous amounts of bacon, ham, and avocado. The regular burgers are also excellent, and they come topped with lots of tasty Mexican chorizo.

BEIJING — Long-anointed successor Xi Jinping assumed the leadership of China on Thursday, as the ruling Communist Party confronts slower economic growth, a public clamor to end corruption and demands for change that threaten its hold on power.
The country’s political elite named Mr. Xi to the top party post and unexpectedly put him in charge of the military, too, after a weeklong party congress and months of divisive bargaining.
The appointments give him broad authority, but not the luxury of time. After decades of juggernaut growth, China sits on the cusp of global pre-eminence as the second-largest economy and newest power, but it also has urgent domestic troubles that could frustrate its rise.
Problems that have long festered — from the sputtering economy to friction with the U.S. and territorial spats with Japan and other neighbors — have worsened in recent months as the leadership focused on the power transfer.
Impatience has grown among entrepreneurs, others in the new middle class and migrant workers — all wired by social media and conditioned by two decades of rising living standards to expect better government, if not democracy.
All along, police have continued to harass and jail a lengthening list of political foes, dissidents, civil rights lawyers and labor activists.
A 14-year-old Tibetan set himself on fire Thursday in western China, the latest of more than 70 self-immolations Tibetans have staged in the past 20 months in desperate protests against Chinese rule.
In his first address to the nation, Mr. Xi, a 59-year-old son of a revolutionary hero, acknowledged the lengthy agenda for what should be the first of two five-year terms in office.
“Our responsibility now is to rally and lead the entire party and the people of all ethnic groups in China in taking over the historic baton and in making continued efforts to achieve the great renewal of the Chinese nation,” a confident Mr. Xi said in nationally televised remarks from the Great Hall of the People.
He later said “we are not complacent, and we will never rest on our laurels” in confronting challenges — corruption chief among them.
By his side stood the six other newly appointed members of the Politburo Standing Committee: Li Keqiang, the presumptive premier and chief economic official; Vice Premier Zhang Dejiang; Shanghai party secretary Yu Zhengsheng; propaganda chief Liu Yunshan; Tianjin party secretary Zhang Gaoli; and Vice Premier Wang Qishan, once the leadership’s top troubleshooter who will head the party’s internal watchdog panel.
Mr. Xi gave no hint of new thinking to address the problems. The lack of specifics and the new leadership heavy with conservative technocrats deflated expectations for change in some quarters.
“We should be expecting more of the same, not some fundamental break from the past,” said Dali Yang, a professor at the University of Chicago specializing in China.

The magazine is bursting at the seams with inspiration, a directory of Mudgee’s finest suppliers, and a showcase of real weddings from the quaint town – a perfect addition to your coffee table to flick through on lazy weekend mornings. With an array of venues, vineyards and some very trendy and creative suppliers, Mudgee has without a doubt become a hot destination for weddings. We had a chat with Marry Me Mudgee’s editor, Haylee Robison about her recent experience in coordinating a fab styled photo shoot for the front cover of their latest edition. You can grab your copy online at https://www.mmmudgee.com.au/
By Haylee Robison, Marry Me Mudgee
After hours and hours of searching for inspiration for the perfect front cover shot, pinning thousands of front cover worthy images and asking everyone second person down the street, “what front cover would you like to see this time around on Marry Me Mudgee?” I stumbled across an image that I knew would be amazing.
As we all know, Mudgee is full of fantastic vendors, so bringing this masterpiece to life was the easy part. I knew that I had to feature a couple with real, raw love. I knew it had to be an image that potential brides-to-be could relate to and picture themselves in that exact image.
Our front cover model Jess has been a friend of mine for some years through socializing and working together. As soon as I had the vision I knew she would be perfect. Through lengthy messages, a lot of bribing and convincing and working around her busy working schedule, Jess and her partner Simon very generously gave up their afternoon to make our Issue 3 cover vision come to life.
I still find days where I pinch myself. I am still mind-blown at the amount of effort and work that went into creating this shoot. I cannot thanks all of the vendors involved enough for helping me bring this all together.

I just changed my Shaw wifi plan. As part of that change Shaw installed a new Hitron wireless router. It connects fine to several devices in my house, but not my Epson NX620 wireless printer, which previously worked fine with my old D-Link wireless router.
The printer can see the Hitron router, and the password works fine. The printer's status report page says it passes the Wireless Network Name (SSID) check, the communication mode check, security mode check, MAC address filtering check, and security key/password check. But the IP address check fails, saying "Incorrect IP address is assigned to the printer." Which I don't understand, because the printer says its IP address is 192.168.0.16, which the is the same as the IP address that's listed for the printer in the router's list of wireless clients, and is different than the IP address assigned to to any other wireless device in our house.
I have tried adding the printer's MAC address to the router's list of managed wireless clients, setting the block rule to "allow all"; it made no difference.
The router's wireless client list says the printer's IP address is self-assigned instead of DHCP-IP, even though DHCP-IP is enabled. Is that the problem, and if so, how do I fix it?

Gardening advice for November
By Paul Hervey-Brookes
Wind and rain is increasing and leaves are falling like snow.
Now is the time to attend to the jobs in the garden in preparation for the cold winter months and short days ahead. Wrap plans and containers and raise onto pot feet to prevent waterlogging. Prune roses to prevent root rock and collect all leaves to burn. and put out bird food to encourage winter birds into the garden.
Make novel feeders from small terracotta pots, tied together and suspended from There are other things that you can do in the garden to help wildlife through the winter. Make a beetle stack from pruning cut to about 40cm long and built into a small pyramid.
Build a wildlife shelter in a corner of the garden from branches and woody pruning. Push the branches into the ground to form a box shape. Lay the pruning inside and fill any gaps with leaves. You can add to this all year round and it will attract insects, small mammals and even roosting birds.
As this is the time of year for bonfires and the pile of unusable debris has probably become quite large, check before you burn just in case a hedgehog has decided to hibernate inside.
Move them to the wildlife shelter for the winter and you can even build them a bespoke house to sleep in ready to wake in the spring and feast on the slugs!
Sweet peas can be sown now, in deep pots, as can garlic. All old crops can be cleared and the ground dug over. Winter bedding can be planted out and if you have fruit trees place grease bands around the trunks to prevent winter moth damage. Spike the lawn and add grit to the holes and continue to clear fallen leaves, especially from pathways and ponds.
Whilst is still mild you can get out and relay paths or create new ones, top up gravel and improve drainage for winter and add stepping stones to lawns, so all in all November is a good gardening month.

Have you ever listened to music while home alone and started dancing around and singing along as loud as you could? Set It Off’s new single “Lonely Dance” radiates that feeling. It is upbeat, catchy, and could get a crowd dancing before the first chorus. This song is the band’s new single off of their upcoming album ‘Midnight’, which will be released February 1st, 2019, via Fearless Records. It is currently available for pre-order at https://shop.setitoffband.com/.
Set It Off is a pop rock band from Tampa, Florida. They have a theatrical and orchestral feel to the music they create. This single, which was released November 19th, 2018, is no exception. With as much anticipation that is surrounding the release of ‘Midnight’, the band has come a long way from their early EP releases between 2008 and 2010. ‘Cinematics’, their first full-length album, was released in 2012 and charted on the U.S. Billboard 200. The two albums they have released since then followed in the same footsteps by charting with each one peaking higher than the last. Their fan base continues to grow and this new album is shaping up to be their best yet.
When “Lonely Dance” starts it has a poppy, upbeat feel but soon emotion is felt within the lyrics. Frustration is apparent when the lead vocalist Cody Carson sings, “Some days I’m up, some days I’m down. Some days the world is way too loud”. If you have ever felt like coming home, turning off your phone, avoiding everyone, and being an introvert for the night, this song is for you. Sometimes everything going on in life is too much noise and you need a release. The release in this case is doing a “little lonely dance” alone at home when no one is watching and there is no social anxiety.
The emotion felt throughout “Lonely Dance” is blatant. The theatrical and quirky nature of the music and Cody Carson’s voice is reminiscent of Panic! At The Disco and Brendon Urie. The second verse continues the idea of forgetting what is going on in the world with the lyrics, “These days I’d rather pay no mind”. Yet, despite the frustration in the lyrics, the beat keeps the listener in an uplifted mood. Then, toward the end of the song, there is a realization that the only thing needed is “me, myself, and I” with a little quiet from the world. The tension seems to break along with the music for a second and then the chorus comes back. The song ends feeling more relaxed. It seems that this song could help some fans have a release when they are feeling tense and like the world is too much.
On social media, fans are posting videos of themselves singing and dancing along to the song while alone in their rooms. So what do you say? Turn on “Lonely Dance”, turn up the volume, take “one step forward, one step backwards”, and do your own little lonely dance like nobody is watching?
Set It Off premiered a video for “Lonely Dance” the same day the single was released. You can watch the video at https://youtu.be/JWiSSVAiPvE. They also announced The Midnight World Tour Part 1: North America and Part 2: UK/Europe. The tour dates and ticket links can be found at http://setitoffband.com/tour.html.

What is best DHT blocker?
What is best DHT blocker?
Finasteride Finasteride is an oral, prescription-only medication that works by inhibiting the enzyme responsible for converting testosterone to DHT. Originally developed to treat an enlarged prostate, finasteride works by blocking DHT from shrinking the hair follicles.
What happens if DHT is lowered?
DHT affects muscle strength and your body’s ability to keep a lean muscle mass, so low levels of DHT can lead to unexpected weight gain. A 2018 study by the University of Helsinki found that, in pairs of twins where one was heavier than the other, the heavier twin had lower levels of DHT than their leaner sibling.
Does DHT blockers cause impotence?
We conclude that 5 alpha-reductase inhibitors do not lead to erectile dysfunction to a significant degree, and we support the position that dihydrotestosterone is less relevant than testosterone in erectile function.
Is DHT important after puberty?
Through adolescence and adult life, DHT promotes prostate growth, sebaceous gland activity, male pattern baldness, and body, facial and pubic hair growth. This hormone, however, does not seem to play any significant role in normal female physiology.
What is the strongest natural DHT blocker?
12 Best Natural DHT Blockers
- Stinging Nettle. Stinging nettle, which is also known as nettle root, is commonly used as an alternative treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia.
- Pumpkin Seed Oil.
- Green Tea.
- Tea Tree Oil.
What kills DHT on the scalp?
Lowering systemic DHT is therefore almost certain to dramatically reduce its levels in the scalp. The most straightforward way of achieving this is through an oral 5-alpha-reductase (5αr) inhibitor. As the name suggests, these medications inhibit the 5αr enzyme which converts testosterone to DHT.
Is biotin a DHT blocker?
Biotin doesn’t block DHT, but it can still lend a hand in promoting hair growth. This shampoo offers several scalp-friendly ingredients, like jojoba oil, coconut oil, and vitamin B5. It also contains tea tree oil, rosemary oil, and zinc.
Is there an alternative to finasteride?
So, if you can’t or won’t take oral finasteride, sometimes oral minoxidil is a great alternative. It comes as a 2.5 mg pill, and we generally start off with about one-half pill daily, and then we let patients increase to either one pill or two pills as tolerated.
Can you take finasteride for life?
Finasteride is generally safe to take for a long time. Many people take it for many months or even years without any problems. However, there have been reports of breast cancer in some men taking finasteride, but this is rare.
Does caffeine increase DHT?
Our results show that caffeine intake increased the concentrations of T and DHT, organ weight, epithelial cell proliferation and AR tissue expression in the ventral prostatic lobe.
What are the signs of high DHT?
The following are three signs of high DHT in men.
- Acne Is a Symptom of High DHT.
- A Receding Hairline Is a Symptom of High DHT.
- Hair Loss at the Temples and on the Crown Are Symptoms of High DHT.
Is Ashwagandha a DHT blocker?
DHT inhibits hair growth on the scalp. Ashwagandha builds resistance to stress by mimicking certain steroids to reduce serum cortisol. This is the only available option for addressing the impact of psycho-emotional stress in hair loss.
Does apple cider vinegar block DHT?
Apple cider vinegar, however, can improve blood circulation. While this itself will not reverse hair miniaturization, ACV can also remove DHT from the scalp and lessen the irritation.
Is saw palmetto better than Finasteride?
In the end, 38% of those who took saw palmetto had an improvement in their hair loss, compared with 68% of those who took finasteride. This finding suggests that both treatments had an effect but that finasteride was more effective.
What works as well as finasteride?
Topical minoxidil (Rogaine®) is also FDA-approved for hair loss and available over-the-counter. Given that it has a similar mechanism of action to finasteride, you may be wondering why dutasteride is not approved for the treatment of hair loss.
Is saw palmetto as good as finasteride?
Can finasteride regrow hairline?
If you’ve had a receding hairline for some time, or if you’ve already lost a lot of hair around your hairline, finasteride may not completely restore it. However, using finasteride could cause some amount of hair regrowth in the areas of your scalp where you’ve only recently started to notice thinning and recession.
Is zinc a DHT blocker?
It may seem strange, because even though DHT levels are raised, production is limited. Using zinc as a DHT blocker is not effective. Zinc helps to keep hormone levels regulated, which is one of the reasons why it is so effective in preventing and treating hair loss.
Is saw palmetto a DHT blocker?
Saw palmetto extract, which is derived from a small palm tree native to southeastern states like Florida, is one of the most popular herbal DHT blockers.
Can ashwagandha regrow hair?
Ashwagandha stimulates the production of DHEA (Dehydroepiandrosterone), a natural hormone in your body that is an ultimate antioxidant. Thus, ashwagandha helps you combat free radicals from your scalp and hair follicles, thereby promoting healthy hair growth.
How can I reactivate my hair follicles?
Surgical treatment such as laser therapy or a hair transplant can help revive the hair follicles. Further, if the situation is not too worse, a hair specialist can also prescribe you supplements that will fulfil the nutritional requirements of your hair follicles.
Is 1000 mg of saw palmetto too much?
Extracts of saw palmetto berry used at doses of up to 960 mg daily appear to be safe over an 18-month period, according to a study published in the April issue of The Journal of Urology.

Stocks struggle to a mixed close
NEW YORK Stocks are struggling to a mixed close on Wall Street after spending most of the day lower, pulled down by weakness in materials and energy companies.
The Dow Jones industrial average lost 33 points to close at 13,482 on Tuesday. The broader Standard & Poor's 500 index inched up a point to 1,446. The Nasdaq composite rose six to 3,120.
The market started the day higher, turned lower at midday then wound up mixed by the closing bell. Materials stocks fell the most, dragged down by a weak earnings report from Mosaic, the largest maker of fertilizer. Mosaic blamed poor demand from China and India.
Rising stocks narrowly outnumbered falling ones on the New York Stock Exchange. Volume was light at 3.2 billion shares.

Resolution seeks slowdown on 63
Residents might have to lift the pedal from the metal when traveling along Highway 63 within the city limits.
Last night, the Columbia City Council approved a resolution requesting that the Missouri Department of Transportation lower the speed limit from 70 to 60 mph within city limits along the highway.
At the Feb. 15 city council meeting, Sixth Ward Councilwoman Barbara Hoppe asked for the resolution. She said she thought it would be a good idea because the speed limit on Interstate 70 is 60 mph within the city’s limits.
Hoppe said city staff has tried to request such a change from MoDOT in the past with no results and that a resolution passed by the Columbia City Council “might get their attention and compliance.”
Though passed by the council, MoDOT will have to approve the resolution before it takes effect.

Georgetown Hoyas Receives Its Own Air Jordan 3 PE
The college basketball exclusives kept coming in.
To say that Jordan Brand’s Air Jordan 3 model is having a moment right now is a grave understatement, to say the least — appearing in exclusive PE versions, custom creations and creative collabs just this year alone. New to the lineup is this Georgetown Hoyas Player Exclusive.
The uppers take on a smooth grey-hued finish, with contrasting hits of navy found on the inner lining and on the school’s emblem, which lands on the tongue. The elephant print hitting the mudguard area and eyestays add stylistic flair — bringing the entire look together. Check out the image above for a closer look.

When Deputy Assistant Governor McCrory announced last week that he was giving Advance Auto more than $17 million of your money, he was over the moon about the 600 jobs that would be created. Not surprisingly, like most of the stuff coming out of the Department of Commerce these days, the 600 jobs was nothing but smoke and mirrors.
What wasn’t mentioned was that a good chunk of those 600 jobs could be workers who are already employed by General Parts International, which Advance Auto acquired for $2.04 billion earlier this year. Nor was it mentioned that some General Parts employees are expected to lose their jobs as a result of the corporate restructuring, or be given the option of relocating to Roanoke, Va.
Net net? Not only are there no new jobs at all, North Carolina will actually sees a loss in overall employment because of the deal. Which means Advance Auto should open a chain of laundromats and change its name to Advance Money Laundering.
Even worse, the company's spokeswoman seems to have taken lessons in doublespeak from Sharon Decker.
“Some of those team members in that 500, some of their functions are moving to Roanoke,” said Shelly Whitaker, an Advance Auto spokeswoman. “Some of their functions will be part of that 600 as we hope to retain those team members. And then some we may not.”
When a company with a presence in the state is granted an incentives package, it is typically required to retain its existing jobs in addition to those it plans to add in order to receive payments. There is no retention requirement for Advance Auto because the job functions at the Raleigh center are different than the existing General Parts positions, said Kim Gernardo, a state Commerce Department spokeswoman, in an email.

A tour of the R/V Western Flyer
March 27, 2015
Mariah Salisbury writes: Unlike a terrestrial vehicle, which you can just fuel up and drive, it takes a lot more for the Western Flyer to get underway. Lance Wardle, who is sailing as chief engineer on this leg of the cruise, tells me it’s more like running a self-contained city than anything else.
He gave me a behind-the-scenes tour of the ship’s inner workings. As it turns out, the twin hulls of the ship are full of a lot more than just ballast water and empty space. Lance unlocks the door and we climb downstairs. At the bottom of the stairs, we are standing below the water line. It’s hot down here—the thermostat reads 100.2 degrees F (37.89 degrees Celsius). We wear ear protection, because the fans and engines would be deafening otherwise. Lance tells me that when the Flyer is working in Monterey Bay, it’s not so hot down below, because the water is about 15-20 degrees cooler in the bay, which makes a huge difference.
There is a surprising amount of space down here—much more than you would think just by looking at the ship from the outside. The space is quite full, but very well organized.
The self-contained city analogy is accurate. The ship makes all of its own water and power, and also processes all of its sewage. It has a reverse-osmosis system that makes about 3,000 liters (800 gallons) of water every day, and five generators that provide power to the ship. Usually only one or two of these generators need to run at a time, but if multiple generators are in use, the ship turns into a formidable power plant.
There are also systems to clean the power and the fuel. A power surge could be detrimental to much of the equipment, so even when the ship is moored in a port away from home, it only uses the clean power that it makes. The same is true with the fuel—having purified fuel prevents damage to the engines.
There is a tool room down here with a large work bench. There’s a room for all of the hydraulics, which run the winches and cranes. There is an oil/water separator, which makes the bilge water safe to discharge into the ocean. There are compressed air cylinders for filling dive tanks. There is a system for supplying the wet lab with both chilled and ambient temperatures of seawater. The list goes on, but perhaps the most important room is the parts inventory room. Lance tells me that the majority of the critical equipment has spare parts on board for making repairs. Nuts, bolts, hoses, paint—it’s all down here.
The ship also has a very sophisticated alarm management system. Along with letting you know if there’s something wrong in this little city, you can also check it to get information on all of the systems on board at the touch of a button. You can check the fuel and water levels, oil pressure in a machine, ballast levels, and anything else. It’s amazing.
To keep this floating city up and running requires that the whole system be checked over at least once every four hours. A crew of four take turns on watch, and there is also an electronics officer on call. On this leg of the cruise, the crew consists of Chief Engineer Lance Wardle, First Engineer Jason Jordan, Second Engineer Olin Jordan, Oiler Brian Imsland, and Electronics Officer Dan Chamberlain.
Lance says that one of the best things about working on this ship is the way that everyone will jump in to help when there’s a problem, and that everyone has strengths in different areas. He says that with such an incredible amount of pooled intellect, a lot can get done. What stands out to me is how much everyone cares about this ship. Lance tells me that this is not the case on most ships. Here, there is very little turnover, and everyone on board really considers this their home.


Merrick Garland a major escalation of the weaponization of the security state
Merrick Garland, civil liberties, freedom and the Constitution.
Texas political science professor Emil Ficker told JournoNews, referring to President Trump, “He misjudged Attorney General Garland and how ambitious and corrupt he is and I think he sort of demonstrated the casualness about the nature of socialism. Mr Trump didn’t realize that Garland shares the same ideology as Lenin ad Stalin? This communist/authortarian thing is at the heart of everything going on here.”
Ficker added, “It’s still not clear whether the raid was ‘an end in and of itself’ conducted to remove Biden’s opponent completely from the field or ‘if it was a step to find an excuse (permission) to defame Mr Trump in perpetuity.’ I think it was at least ‘midterm political’ and certainly 2024 political. And it just, it sort of tells you something about the state of his [Trump’s] mind and the people around him that they didn’t understand what kind of people populate the top of the Democratic party. Can this slow of a Republican really do what it takes beginning in 2025 to rescue the country?”
Former Democratic Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard guest hosted for Tucker Carlson’s Fox News show on Friday night to discuss the Mar-a-Lago search warrant and more.
Gabbard said in a tweet she would be covering “the Trump search warrant, Europe’s upcoming energy crisis, the Afghanistan withdrawal one year ago, and biological males competing against women in sports.”
I’ll be hosting ‘Tucker Carlson Tonight’ today! Join me live at 8:00pm ET on @FoxNews

Merrick Garland, who must recuse himself from the investigation
Clay Travis quarterbacks the program Friday and is calling out Merrick Garland, who must recuse himself from the investigation into Donald Trump. Republicans should be shouting this from the rooftops, and it should be one of the biggest arguments in all of America.
Clay Travis said on air, “How in the world can anyone believe that Merit Garland, especially given the FBI’s already history with Donald Trump and the Department of Justice’s history with Donald Trump, how can anyone believe that he can conduct an impartial investigation of his employers, because Joe Biden’s his employer, of his employer’s top rival for the presidency. The fact that Merritt Garland is in any way involved and he said yesterday, “I personally approved this warrant.” How is he allowed to lead an investigation into the top political rival of his boss? This is next level Banana Republic crazy.”
“It’s all optics,” Trump lawyer Alina Habba told Newsmax, “It’s all because he’s leading in the polls. It’s because we have [a midterm] election coming up in November. This is calculated, calculated, calculated, and it was two days before our deposition” before the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office in an unrelated civil investigation into his family’s business practices.”
Tulsi Gabbard tells the truth about Merrick Garland
Exposes uncomfortable truths about the security state
Gabbard ripped the FBI’s raid on former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home, saying it was an escalation of the “security state” of America.
“The FBI’s raid on Mar-a-Lago was a major escalation of the weaponization of the security state on the American public. It’s about to get much worse, because right here before the midterms we’re seeing these entities being politicized and weaponized – now here is just one example: Twitter announced it’s rolling out their new misinformation rules to ‘protect conversation on Twitter during elections,’” Gabbard noted before bringing on a guest to discuss misinformation.
Gabbard then criticized President Joe Biden’s administration for working with Twitter and referenced the “Ministry of Truth” that was later dissolved.
Gabbard said it’s time to get “back to the basics.”
“Civil liberties, freedom and the Constitution and I think what’s so concerning to people is that we have government finding ways to try to undermine those fundamental freedoms,” Gabbard said. “The FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago earlier this week marked the beginning of a new and dangerous path for America.”
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene files articles of impeachment against U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland
Garland ordered the illegal raid on Trump’s residence at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) announced on Friday that she filed articles of impeachment against U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland. The Republican representative for Georgia claimed that Garland helped facilitate a “political persecution” of former President Donald Trump.
Garland drew the ire of Garland after the FBI raid of Trump’s residence at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida. Taylor accused Garland of not “faithfully” executing the office of the attorney general’s promise to “preserve, protect and defend” the United States Constitution.
Taylor told reporters outside the Capitol building, “What they’ve been doing to [former] President Trump is political persecution.”
“Merrick Garland has abused his position of power as the attorney general to politically persecute Joe Biden’s enemies,” she added. “And the whole purpose of this is to prevent President Trump from ever being able to hold office.”
“I’m introducing articles of impeachment on Merrick Garland,” Taylor proclaimed. “Because we cannot tolerate this in America, where our great institutions are welded and abused in such a way to impeach people’s political enemies.”
Taylor’s articles of impeachment accused the attorney general of “endangering, compromising, and undermining the justice system of the United States by facilitating the persecution” of President Joe Biden’s political rival – Donald Trump.
“Personal approval to seek a search warrant for the raid on the home of the 45th President of the United States, Donald J. Trump, constitutes a blatant attempt to persecute a political opponent,” the document read.
Taylor’s resolution claimed that Garland’s “effort to unseal the search warrant for the home of former President Donald J. Trump constitutes an attempt to intimidate, harass, and potentially disqualify a political challenger to President Joseph R. Biden, Jr.”
Articles of impeachment against Garland are unlikely to pass in Congress since Democrats have a majority, and because it is unknown how many Republicans would support such a move. A two-thirds majority is needed for conviction.
Garland said on Thursday that he “personally approved” the FBI raid of Trump’s residence.
“Faithful adherence to the rule of law is the bedrock principle of the Justice Department and of our democracy,” Garland said. “Upholding the rule of law means applying the law evenly, without fear or favor.”
Other prominent Republicans, including Senators Rand Paul of Kentucky and Josh Hawley of Missouri, have suggested that Garland’s actions could merit impeachment.
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) accused the Department of Justice of reaching an “intolerable state of weaponized politicization.” McCarthy also promised an investigation into the DOJ if the Republicans retake the House after the 2022 midterm elections.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said the FBI raid of Mar-a-Lago is “another escalation in the weaponization of federal agencies against the Regime’s political opponents.”
Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) declared, “Using government power to persecute political opponents is something we have seen many times from 3rd world Marxist dictatorships. But never before in America.”
Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) said, “In third world countries and banana republics they prosecute the former presidents/leaders and their staff. Right now, we look beneath them. We are in a race to the bottom.”
