Former Trump adviser Stephen Miller minced no words in describing the Democratic witch hunt against the former president. He accused Joe Biden’s party of carrying out “an open vendetta” and likened the administration to dictators who jail their opposition.
Miller told Fox News host Laura Ingraham that Democrats are engaged in election interference ahead of the 2024 presidential race.
Their goal, he declared, is to “pull up Trumpism by root and branch from this country.” He noted Democrats are not just going after the former president to hurt him, they are brazenly targeting his allies and supporters.
Miller asserted the left’s objective is to hurt the 2024 Republican frontrunner as much as they can. He called the liberal crusade an “authoritarian ideology” and said that the American public must decide if it wants to support such a system.
Trump was indicted for a fourth time on Tuesday, allegedly over attempts to overturn 2020 election results in Georgia. The indictment also targeted 18 of his associates and allies.

And if leftists’ schemes could not be more obvious, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis on Wednesday proposed a date to begin proceedings against Trump. March 4, 2024.
A day before the critical Super Tuesday primary elections in 15 states.
Miller is part of a chorus of Americans proclaiming that Trump is the target of a Democratic witch hunt. Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) told Newsmax’s “Wake Up America” on Tuesday that the latest indictments against the former president are a travesty for the U.S. judicial system.
He noted that with each new indictment it “just feels more and more like we’re in a type of country like the Soviet Union.” Free speech is being criminalized, political opponents imprisoned and not allowed to be voted for by Americans.
Johnson accused Democrats of breaking “every precedent” and “every norm” in their quest for revenge.
The party of Joe Biden, he proclaimed, does not build. It destroys.
Johnson further said that challenging a controversial election is a fundamental American right. That right is under attack, however, because “the media, the left, wants to cheat, they want to make it easy to cheat.”
In this way, claims of irregularities are never properly probed and cheaters get to win.

Abstract Share this page
Abstract Increased concentrations of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol have been closely associated with decreased risk of future cardiovascular disease. This protective effect of HDL has been mainly attributed to its involvement in reverse cholesterol transport. More recently, it has been suggested that apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I), the major protein component of HDL, possesses nearly identical information as HDL in terms of risk prediction for future cardiovascular disease. This makes apoA-I a very attractive biomarker candidate for implementation into clinical practice, taking into account its analytical advantages. This review summarizes our current knowledge based on observations from recent studies, with emphasis on potential pathophysiologic mechanisms of action and on the clinical utility of apoA-I as a predictor of cardiovascular risk.

I think that I shall never see
As lovely a dichotomy --
Soul serene, secure in beauty,
Fearful, though, of social duty,
Thoughtful lover, unrequited
By your own predisposition,
Home alone with Truth united --
A modern metaphysician.
Passions rage; you arrange a truce
Between your sparrows and your snakes.
Soul-searching makes you a recluse,
Lost in imaginary wakes.
Dressing Vision in Fantasy’s clothes,
Your poems make Heaven from Hell.
Through loneliness and mortal woes,
Your spirit gets on very well.
You, nobody? It’s just not true!
Sweet Emily, we all know you.

This is an introduction to anatomy and figure drawing. Drawing anatomy for some is an elusive unicorn that can seem impossible to catch. Books can be confusing and even cryptic. I have the same books that you have and they really didn’t help me improve. Not being able to create can be a crippling experience for an artist. We can trick ourselves into thinking we don’t need to draw the figure and can just “get by” through clip art or tracing. The truth is that is simply not good enough. It’s time to finally slay that figure drawing dragon.
The skills you acquire here will enhance not only your own work but give you a solid base to in any other online course or book. There is no "Quick fix" or "shortcuts" to making great art. It requires work. It's fun work and I'm going to show you a method that will make creating your own human figures for games and comics or a client’s work "pain free".

TAT® is a technique that invites one’s true self to grow and flourish. It opens blockages and obstructions, frees anxieties, traumatic distress and stuck beliefs, and heals allergic reactions. TAT® is so strong that sometimes the feeling of peace, positive outlook, release, strength and self-confidence feel as though a miracle is taking place.
During the treatment, we touch various places on the skull and the back of the head to release energies, allowing them to flow better while connecting to related spoken sentences. TAT® is deep, simple and effective method, providing peace, calmness, health and empowerment within minutes.
TAT® releases the past and eliminates stuck beliefs that keep you from achieving what you want and deserve in life;
TAT® eradicates fears and phobias at their source;
TAT® heals the emotional aspects of physical illnesses and conditions;
TAT® stops the inner negative chatter that keeps you from creating the life you want;
TAT® helps with the hardships of weight loss and achieves weight loss maintenance;
TAT® overcomes addictions and allergies;
TAT® heals depression and eating disorders;
TAT® helps to heal from traumas rooted in natural disasters, terror attacks, sexual and other traumas and from PTSD;
TAT® improves shalom bayit and all kinds of relationship issues;
TAT® conquers learning disabilities
and much, much more
We have seen a lot of miracles resulting from TAT® sessions!!
We invite you to attend healing sessions we deliver or learn the
It depends upon the problems- between 1 and 30 meetings of 50 minutes each session.
No; done is done. Sometimes a new aspect can come up that we have not worked on.
No, it is very healthy. You gain strength with it
Like a conversation, during which you learn the technique yourself using your own life problems.
No. One small detail is enough!
No, by talking alone the negative feelings do not disappear, they only disappear by the energies you use on it!
I work with men, women, and children
First of all, I help you to stop your learning traumas.Then I will give you new learning skills and techniques.
By holding certain spots on your body and sometimes tapping on them.
You do not need to talk about them. We can work on them anyhow.
When you come to me, you get two things:
1) your traumas and fears are healed
2) you go home with a self-help technique you can use the rest of your life. (This self-help technique can be used on almost anything, any problem, because it will not harm or hurt).
Sometimes we group several traumas together so we can work on much at the same time.
Sometimes the person does not want to tell me what the trauma was about and still we can work on it.
Sometimes a person cannot express himself and still we can work on it. We can work on every problem or trauma you have (incl udi ng improving midot, davening and learning.
Sometimes I will cover a few periods of someone’s life in one time.
There are also those little incidents in everyone’s life that repeat themselves. They are not what you would call “trauma”; however, they do have ingredients that are also present in a real trauma like: anger, hurt, frustration, pain, emotional distress, etc. Take for instance an angry person. A lot of events in his childhood (up to 16yrs old) have frustrated him. Today he gets angry about almost anything and it is not a normal anger – it is an outburst.
When he gets angry today, all the little angry events are also speaking up. When we – by means of these techniques – clean up all of those negative events out of his childhood, he will be another person, a more peaceful person.

Gov. Bobby Jindal sought Wednesday to derail Louisiana’s use of standardized tests tied to the Common Core education standards, but state education leaders say the governor’s executive order is meaningless.
The Republican governor opposes the English and math standards adopted by most states as an attempted federal takeover of education, and he said he’s committed to stopping Louisiana’s participation in the Common Core.
“Common Core’s become a one-size-fits-all model that simply doesn’t make sense for our state,” Jindal said at a news conference.
Both state lawmakers and the Board of Elementary and Secondary Education have voted in support of the standards. Jindal’s executive authority is limited, so he sought to strike at testing from the Partnership for the Assessment of Readiness for College and Career that is linked to the standards as a backdoor way to get Louisiana out of Common Core. He also says he’ll ask lawmakers next year to revisit the standards.
Among a series of anti-Common Core actions announced Wednesday, the governor put out an executive order requiring a competitive bid process for public school standardized tests.
The Department of Education and the Board of Elementary and Secondary Education planned to use Common Core-related testing for students in third- through eighth-grades, but the tests haven’t yet been purchased for the upcoming school year. Jindal said the tests in question appear to be most expensive available, so he’s confident they couldn’t be chosen in competitive bidding for standardized tests.
But Superintendent of Education John White and Board of Elementary and Secondary Education Chairman Chas Roemer say the governor’s executive order won’t change the roll-out of Common Core in classrooms or the use of the PARCC test.
White said his department can buy test questions under an existing contract with an outside vendor. The Jindal administration disagrees.
“We’re planning on going ahead and implementing the plan that’s in accordance with state law and with what we’ve been doing for four years,” White said.
Where the dispute heads next is unclear.
Jindal’s office didn’t immediately say whether the governor would consider taking state educations officials to court over the testing, to try to stop the use of PARCC.
Gov. Bobby Jindal signed two bills into law Friday (May 23) that will expand gun rights for Louisiana residents after they received overwhelming support from the state Legislature. The new statutes will go into effect Aug. 1.
The more sweeping of the two gun rights measures will allow people with concealed handgun permits to carry their weapons into restaurants that serve alcohol, but make most of their money from food sales.
Present law does not allow citizens to carry guns into establishments that serve alcohol. And while people with concealed handgun permits will be able to go into a restaurant serving alcohol soon, they still wouldn’t be able to drink alcohol while packing heat.
The soon-to-be law also gives current and retired law enforcement officers as well as district attorneys and judges even more flexibility than the general public when it comes to concealed weapons. Those in law enforcement would be allowed to carry guns into bars, though they also couldn’t drink while carrying a weapon.
In present law, law enforcement officers are only allowed to have their guns in a bar if they are acting in an official capacity. Even under the new law, local sheriffs will still be able to prohibit their own officers from carrying guns into bars if they didn’t think it was a good idea.
The second bill signed by Jindal will expand the “stand your ground” law in Louisiana. Under current law, a person who kills an intruder coming into his car or house is given the benefit of the doubt and can use self-defense as a lawful reason for the killing. But the same self-defense argument could not be legally applied to situations where a person hurt, but didn’t kill, the intruder.
Metairie Rep. Joe Lopinto, the sponsor of the legislation, said he wanted to close that loophole. People who end up harming – but not killing – an intruder or a carjacker should not be charged with murder if those who kill those people don’t face those consequences, he said.
“Stand your ground” laws are controversial, particularly after it was thought Florida resident George Zimmerman would use such a statute to defend his high-profile shooting of teenager Trayvon Martin.
There has also been a controversial “stand your ground” case in New Orleans, where a 33-year-old Marigny homeowner shot an unarmed 14-year-old. Lopinto said his legislation would not apply to this particular case because the shooting took place outdoors.
In an unusual move for Louisiana, the Legislature and Jindal have agreed to enact one new gun restriction. Domestic abusers under a legal protective order will be prevented from owning a gun for 10 years under a new law that will go into effect Aug. 1.
The National Rifle Association – which usually fights gun restrictions – remained neutral on the domestic abuser provision, which is probably one of the reasons the pro-gun Legislature and Jindal agreed to pass it.
When presenting the restriction, state Sen. J.P. Morrell said Louisiana has a particularly high rate of fatalities related to domestic abuse. ”We lead the nation in spouses murdering spouses with firearms,” he said.

Obama first delivered a pitch for the creation of jobs by fixing roads, dredging ports and modernizing the U.S. air traffic control system.
Then he took a veiled jab at Jindal for failing to support a key plank of the healthcare law.
Louisiana is one of 24 states that has refused federal funds to expand Medicaid to more low-income people, money that Obama said would help 265,000 people in the state gain access to health insurance.
“Even if you don’t support the overall plan, let’s at least go ahead and make sure that the folks who don’t have health insurance right now and can get it through an expanded Medicaid, let’s make sure we do that,” Obama said.
That opened the door for Jindal to accuse Obama of trying to “bully” the state.
“We will not allow President Obama to bully Louisiana into accepting an expansion of Obamacare,” Jindal said in a statement, saying the expansion would cost the state too much.
“The dysfunction of the website and the president’s broken promises on being able to keep your health plan are just the tip of the iceberg in regards to the problems with this law,” Jindal said.
Good for Jindal

Suspect Arrested in Felony Hit and Run That Badly Injured Pedestrian In Bellingham
February 08, 2018
(BELLINGHAM, WA.) – On the night of January 31st Washington State Patrol (WSP) troopers in Bellingham responded to a serious injury hit and run collision involving a pedestrian.
The pedestrian, a man later identified as Lucas Brazier, was walking in the lanes of the freeway when he was hit by a car that then sped away from the scene.
Mr. Brazier sustained critical injuries and was rushed to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle. Based on evidence that was collected during the on-scene investigation, the fleeing vehicle was determined to be a green 1991 to 1996 Ford Escort or Mercury Tracer.
On February 1st the WSP sent out a news release seeking witnesses or anyone with information regarding this crime and the next day the WSP received a call from a witness who had read about the collision in a newspaper.
“The witness identified the driver of the fleeing vehicle to be Luis Gomez Gutierrez,” according to a state patrol statement released yesterday. “WSP Detectives followed up on the lead and arrested Gutierrez in Sedro-Woolley on February 5, 2018. He was booked into the Whatcom County Jail for Hit and Run Injury Collision, which is a Class C Felony.”
The WSP says additional follow-up after the arrest led detectives to the discovery of the involved vehicle, a green 1995 Ford Escort wagon which was located in the Bow Hill area. On February 6th detectives served a search warrant and seized the car which had damage that was “consistent with the evidence that was recovered during the on-scene investigation,” according to the WSP statement.

- McDonald's agreed to acquire two-year-old Silicon Valley-based Apprente, an early stage, voice-based conversational technology company, the company announced Tuesday.
- The technology is expected to allow for faster, simpler and more accurate order taking at the drive-thru and could potentially weave into mobile ordering and kiosks.
- Apprente will serve as a founding member of the new McDonald's global technology team, McD Tech Labs. The fast food chain also expects to grow its presence in Silicon Valley by hiring more engineers, data scientists and other advanced technology experts to make up the new group, which will help meet future business needs and support deployment.
Technology is becoming an increasingly important investment for the fast food chain, especially since it can help improve drive-thru times and labor costs, two areas McDonald's has worked to improve.
The company previously said it was testing voice-activated drive-thrus and automated deep-fryers that cut down on labor in the kitchen.
With this latest acquisition, McDonald's is securing its place as a tech leader within the fast food space.
It previously bought Dynamic Yield for $300 million earlier this year and has since deployed the company’s decision technology at the drive-thru at 8,000 restaurants in the U.S. and plans to reach just about all drive-thrus in the U.S. and Australia by the end of the year.
It also invested $3.7 million in Plexure, a mobile app vendor, to improve its app.
Investing in technology infrastructure and digital capabilities is a key part of McDonald's growth plan, said Steve Easterbrook, president and CEO of McDonald's, in the announcement.
Artificial intelligence at the drive-thru has become a growing want among fast food chains due to the ability to save on labor costs, communicate with customers in multiple languages and speed up service times.
Companies including Valyant AI and 5Thru have been developing different levels of AI drive-thru technology. Valyant AI offers a similar product as Apprente, and has already been deployed at a Good Times Burgers & Frozen Custards in Denver, expanding is breakfast test to lunch and dinner earlier this year.
Sonic is also testing a voice-automated menu through a partnership with Mastercard and kiosk vendor ZIVELO.
Other restaurants have turned to technology as well. MOD Pizza has used cloud technology from day one. Panera has long invested in technology, becoming one of the first restaurant chains to use self-order kiosks. Domino's launched an Innovation Garage a few weeks ago to pilot new technologies.

RIDGEWAY — For the second time in as many meetings, Ridgeway Town Council tabled a vote on three bids received to set up a camera surveillance system in the downtown area.
Councilman Donald Prioleau stated he would like council to target funds for the police department before buying surveillance system.
“I think we need to focus on finding revenue to fund our police department first,” he said. “I don’t think we’re at the point where we need cameras.”
Mayor Charlene Herring said the one-time occurring cost of a surveillance system could help deter crime in the area.
“I think it (surveillance) would buy our merchants and residents another level of security when police are not around,” she noted. “Security and safety is the town’s responsibility.”
Councilman Russ Brown, who is also a merchant downtown, recommended merchants absorb some of the cost responsibility if a camera system is put in place. He also advised council to inquire about some of the possible upkeep costs.
Council approved Herring permission to investigate laptop prices for the police department. A new laptop would allow the police department to access SLED reports and conduct training online.
In new business, council approved the lowest bids for two jobs to repair two town properties. On Judy Miller’s home, council approved $258.50 to repair the front-door frame. Regarding a broken back door to the Century House, council approved $410 to replace the frame.
The funding for the repairs will come from the town’s CD’s.
Following an executive session about personnel matters, council went back into open session and unanimously voted to pay town employees an annual bonus in the same amount as last year. Full-time employees will receive a $350 bonus and part-time employees will receive a $150 bonus. The Town of Ridgeway has four employees.
Council also unanimously accepted the financial report as information.
With permission from council, Herring said she would like to apply for a rural infrastructure grant searching for sources of water in Ridgeway. The grant’s application date is set for Feb. 3, 2014. The grant would pay 100 percent of the construction costs, with the town paying for non-construction costs including engineering fees.
Next month, Herring also will begin the application process for town signage on interstate exits and the Ridgeway Visitor’s Center (a.k.a. Century House). She told council each sign costs $450, and she hopes Fairfield County or the Chamber of Commerce will fund part of the cost.
End of year highlights
Ridgeway’s 2013 year in review saw many citizens and merchants receive awards including:
• Entrepreneurs of the Year: Denise Jones and Jennie Price of the Cotton Yard Market
• Fairfield County Business of the Year: Tina Johnson of Over the Top
• Pig on the Ridge, South Carolina’s largest barbecue cook-off
• Three new businesses opened in Ridgeway, Ridgeway Old Town Hall Restaurant, Antiques and Oddities and The Station
• First annual Christmas on the Ridge festival
• Citizen of the Year: Phyllis Gutierrez

Here are a couple of new exploits that the bad guys have come up with try and transfer your money into their pockets.
The first one pops up a window on your computer that looks exactly like a real Microsoft Update security warning. Two things you need to know to protect yourself:
1) Take a look at this sample screenshot. Notice the logo in the top left corner. This exploit uses Firefox. Microsoft stuff would only use Internet Explorer. (And no, this does not mean that you should switch from Firefox to some other browser – the bad guys are working on exploits against all of them.) Mahalo to the Sophos Naked Security blog for providing the sample screenshot.
2) Microsoft Update does not open a window on your machine unless you specifically start it.
The second exploit pops up a window in your browser that has a warning that you’re about to visit a malicious web page. The first thought most folks would have is probably “Cool! I’m finally getting a warning before I go and infect my machine!” And, yeah, if this was a legitimate warning this would be cool. But… look closely at that warning. If there is a “Download Updates!” button in that window, then this warning is bogus. If you click the button, you’ll end up installing malware on your machine that will bombard you with fake infection warnings and prompt you to purchase the software that will “fix” the fake problems that are being reported (and probably install some other junk on your system). If you want to download updates to your anti-virus and anti-malware programs, open the programs directly (usually through an icon in the lower right corner of the screen down by the clock). You might have to right-click on the icon to get the menu which allows you to open the window for the program. From there you can check for the latest updates.

The Napa Farmers Market has been a reliable source of local, sustainably grown produce for 30 years. The market is WIC-certified and pressing forward with its application to, once again, accept and match CalFresh /EBT/ Food Stamps at the market.
We are an incubator for small local businesses, allowing them to get their name out into the community, develop a following and earn capital to take their products to the next level. We are a place for nonprofit organizations to find volunteers, raise funds and promote their services.
We also host a variety of educational programs for kids and adults. And every week at the market, families seeking new creatures to love can meet their next four-legged fur baby to adopt into a forever home.
While you may not share the opinions voiced in the market’s Free Speech Area, the space is open to those looking to educate shoppers on upcoming ballot initiatives, City Council votes and other local issues. In that designated area, campaigning local representatives have a chance to press the flesh and discuss their platforms face to face with constituents.
The community benefits from the market in another way as well. Every Tuesday, the nonprofit organization The Table collects produce donations at the market to use in the meals it provides daily for hungry locals at Napa’s First Presbyterian Church.
Now, following on The Table’s example, Napa Valley CanDo is collecting produce at the market every Saturday for delivery to the Napa Food Bank.
With these two organizations working to reduce hunger, the Napa Farmers Market board began to brainstorm ways to involve you: the community. We just might have found it.
Next time you are at the Napa Farmers Market, keep your eyes peeled for our new donation booth. It’s the one with the big banner inviting you to “Buy a Little Extra for Napa’s Hungry.” Easy, no? Whatever you are buying for yourself that day—whether it’s carrots, oranges, beets, kale, melons or squash—consider buying an extra bag and leaving it behind in the collection bins at the donation booth.
At the end of each market, these bins will be consolidated with produce donated by the farmers and sent directly to organizations that serve locals.
Hunger is a silent problem. In 2014, the California Food Policy Advocates estimated that eight percent of the Napa community was living in poverty.
While we may not be able to reach every single person in need, with the help of organizations like The Table, Napa Valley CanDo, Community Action Napa Valley and generous shoppers like you, we can certainly make a big difference in the health and well-being of our community.
I hope you will join the Napa Farmers Market in helping to reduce hunger locally and increase access to fresh, wholesome produce.
What’s Up at the Market: It’s National Dance Day on Saturday, July 30. Join us for dance demonstrations on the hour and dance-step instruction on the half-hour, beginning at 9 a.m.
The Napa Farmers Market takes place on Tuesdays and Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., May through October, in the parking lot of the South Napa Century Center, 195 Gasser Drive, Napa. The third Tuesday of every month is Seniors Day at the market, with some vendors offering discounts to shoppers 65 and older. Ask about participating vendors at the information booth. For more market information and a schedule of upcoming events, visit NapaFarmersMarket.org or visit the market on Facebook.

Kane County`s deputies, the lowest paid in a seven-county area, may be getting some financial relief in the next few months.
Sheriff John Randall has proposed a $3.42 million budget for 1988 that would include a 15-percent raise in starting pay for deputies.
And county board chairman Frank Miller announced Thursday that he is seeking a 5-percent across-the-board increase to take effect Sept. 1.
The sheriff`s overall budget request is 10.2 percent more than this year`s budget. The increases, which would cost the county $281,364 a year, would gradually get lower toward the top of the pay scale.
The starting annual salary for Kane deputies is $16,200. The top of the scale is $25,380.
The budget increases would not include corrections officers guarding the jail because their salaries will be included in the Corrections and Rehabilitation Committee budget, which will be reviewed next week. Comparable pay increases, however, are being sought.
The budget proposal, totaling $3,426,117, was reviewed Thursday by the county board`s Executive Committee, the first step of the approval process.
Randall requested a large pay increase because the deputies have received minimal raises over the last few years, Public Safety chairman William Damish told the Executive Committee.
The salary scale, Damish said, is lower than deputies in Cook, Du Page, Lake, Will, McHenry and Winnebago Counties. Even if the Kane deputies receive the 15 percent increase, their salaries will still be lower than all but the Winnebago deputies, Damish said.
The department`s deputy and civilian employees have been embroiled in legal battles with the county for more than two years in attempts to force the county to bargain with the employees` union for higher wages.
Miller announced at the meeting that he was recommending a 5-percent pay increase for all of the sheriff`s 101 deputies: police, corrections officers and process servers. Miller said the increase would cost the department $23,000 this year, money he said the department has.

A 16-year-old is making waves in the world of physics, which we suspect demonstrates a changeless reality of nature: professional jealously.
You'd expect news that a teenager may have improved on the work of Sir Isaac Newton to be received with acclaim and excitement. When it comes to physicists, proof should trump emotion every time. Except, perhaps, if that emotion happens to be envy.
Shouryya Ray, a 16-year-old Indian-born German student from Dresden, has gained worldwide fame with his attempts to solve two long-standing problems - how to account for air resistance in calculating the trajectory of a ball travelling at an angle, and the exact behaviour of a ball thrown against a wall. His efforts won him second place in the maths and informatics category for Germany's Jugend Forscht student science competition recently (first place went to research on the speed of light).
But physicists around the world are not celebrating just yet. One called Ray's work unimpressive. Another said it was "rather suspicious".
It is not surprising that the scientific community errs on the side of caution on such matters. Still, one might assume that the mere attempt at improving work as prominent as Newton's would receive a semblance of praise.
Unfortunately, it seems no formula has yet been devised that explains the behaviour of a physicist who's been beaten to a discovery by a colleague. Especially if that colleague is the new kid on the block.


text: The urgent need for new, safe and sustainable interventions against diseases that disproportionally affect the poor is finally receiving global attention and the funding landscape for development projects has significantly improved during the past decade. For the development of new drug and vaccine candidates, clinical trials have become the most important tool to assess their safety and efficacy. Recently, there has been a seismic shift in the number of clinical trials conducted in resource-limited settings. We discuss the current framework of clinical research in sub-Saharan Africa, from building product pipelines to the capacities needed for the conduct of trials according the harmonised Good Clinical Practice (GCP) ICH E6 guideline. We place emphasis on clinical research in neglected tropical diseases which still frequently has to be conducted with limited financial, logistical and human resources. Given those short-comings we recommend minimum standards needed at the local, national and sponsor levels to provide GCP-compliant clinical research.

In an editorial a month ago, we warned that “Blinding Medicaid waste and abuse” had created a $22.3 million hole in D.C. coffers. Now comes word that the failure to file the proper reimbursement paperwork for Medicaid and Medicare services has already caused overruns in the current budget. With the fiscal year having only started on Oct. 1, this is a red flag neither Mayor Tony Williams nor his successor can ignore.
D.C. Chief Financial Officer Nat Gandhi has warned Mayor-elect Adrian Fenty that the city already has overspent by $87 million, The Washington Post reported yesterday. That figure could rise to $300 million next year if spending reins aren’t gripped immediately. Most of the potential shortfall is attributed to rising costs for health care, and The Post cited higher-than-expected health-care enrollments as creating part of pressure. But much of the fault lies with an inefficient bureaucracy.
As The Washington Times reported and editorialized last month, an audit by the D.C. Inspector General found the city’s Medicaid program is in “serious breach of basic internal controls,” with D.C. officials spending $22.3 million on nonemergency transportation for Medicaid recipients. Problem is, they cannot determine whether the money should have been paid or not because transportation firms filed dozens of claims for Medicaid patients who were actually dead.
A health-insurance program for the poor, Medicaid transportation costs have been pushing skyward for some years now. The costs are of such concern to the 109th Congress, that as part of the Deficit Reduction Act, it also created the Medicaid Integrity Program, granting open-ended authority to the federal Department of Health and Human Services to tackle Medicaid waste, fraud and abuse — authority that was relegated previously to the states. The District, amid its spending frenzy on nonemergency transportation, didn’t catch on. As we said in our Oct. 27 editorial, “We could point fingers at City Hall… This time, though, we are just grateful that the feds are looking in the right direction.”
Indeed, while federal and local auditors scrutinize the District’s Medicaid spending habits, Congress has put City Hall on notice, too. Sens. Charles Grassley and Max Baucus, the chairman and ranking member of the Senate Finance Committee, said in a Nov. 17 letter to the D.C. inspector general that they want details on “all ongoing audits, evaluations and investigations that examine the Medicaid program in the District of Columbia.” And well they should: National nonemergency Medicaid transportation costs have reached $1.5 billion — a 48 percent increase since the 1999-2003 period.
This isn’t the first time the District has been warned about its egregious Medicaid offenses. As the senators say in their letter, previous probes have cited “unnecessary trips and excessive claims as well as billing Medicaid for trips never provided.”
The D.C. lawmaker chiefly responsible for Medicaid oversight, David Catania, told reporter Jim McElhatton that he was “delighted” with the steps City Hall has taken to reform the Medicaid. We do not share Mr. Catania’s enthusiasm. Neither the District nor the several states that are wasting tax dollars should be let off the hook. We thank the senators for their ongoing inquiry, and hope they continue with the knowledge that bureaucracies like the District’s don’t quickly reform themselves.

Riverdale left no story stone unturned in the penultimate episode of season 2, ‘The Killing of a Sacred Deer’, finally revealing The Black Hood as Hal Cooper and teasing the death of Jughead Jones. Riverdale season 2 hasn’t been the most consistent of stories but the series truly went all out in the lead up to the finale.
Much still has to be revealed in the Riverdale season 2 finale. Although things don’t look good for the citizens of Riverdale, especially Jughead, the story is far from over. The main culprit behind the Black Hood attacks has been unmasked and apprehended. However, a copycat lurks in …

The post Riverdale Revealed The Black Hood AND Maybe Killed a Major Character appeared first on Screen Rant.


Yesterday I was browsing through some recommended articles on my phone and I came across an article listing “The Fastest CPUs of 2023”, from a website I won’t name here. That grabbed my attention, so I decided to give it a read… and was disappointed. So here I am, making a
arguably biased better article about the same thing!
The original article talked about fastest CPU for servers, PC, laptops and games. In this one, I’ll go over those same things, but also add phones(no iphone/Macbook however, as those are pretty obvious. Latest, most expensive one from apple for those platforms will be the fastest). I’ll also add in reasons for why I picked each one of them.
Fastest Server CPU
Picking the fastest server CPU is pretty easy. AMD has been releasing absolute monsters in terms of performance and efficiency in the past few years. So for server CPUs, I pick AMD EPYC 9684X. This behemoth has 96 cores, 192 threads, runs at 2.55GHz base clock and 3.42GHz all cores when the boost kicks in(individual core clock is 3.7GHz). It makes use of PCIe 5.0, having 128 lanes and 12 memory channels(up to 4800MT/s).
The X series of EPYC Genoas has 3D V-Cache technology. This means that, for the 9684X you get 1.1GB of L3 cache, far more than I’ve seen in ANY CPU. On top of that, it also comes with AVX-512, speeding up AI applications absurdly. And all that consumes just about 400W(Compare this with intel’s 4th gen Platinum 8490H Scalable Processor that uses 350W while having far less cores, cache, etc and you’ll notice just how far ahead AMD is).
Fastest PC CPU
PCs don’t need as many cores, nor as much cache, so the pick here is something that has the absolute best average performance for common workloads. In here, the cake goes to Intel’s i9 13900KS. For as much as I tend to prefer AMD, if we’re going for absolute best performance on a personal computer, that CPU has the absolute best average single core:
Intel’s Big Little architecture gives them the edge on single core. That plus the absurdly high clock, that can boost to 6GHz, gives it the number one spot. For multicore, AMD closes the gap, but still doesn’t get past second place(though by just a small margin):
Beware though. Intel has been having difficulty lowering their transistor size, so their performance pushes came with need for equally powerful cooling solutions, mainly if you expect to overclock it.
Fastest Laptop CPU
Laptops are a very special case. While manufacturers will always try to push for performance, efficiency is a much more important matter for them, because of battery and cooling being limiting factors. This means that the fastest laptop CPU will still consume a much less electricity than PC ones.
That out of the way, the fastest laptop CPU is AMD’s Ryzen 9 7945HX. It has 16 cores, 32 Threads, runs at 2.5GHz by default, boosting up to 5.4GHz. L3 cache is also pretty high, at 64MB(mainly compared to 36MB from intel’s competitor, i9-13980HX). The most impressive thing here however, is its TDP: Just 55W. Here’s a video comparison/benchmark of a laptop running the CPU:
Fastest Gaming CPU
This has been debated many many times, and at this point it is basically a consensus. Ryzen 7 7800x3D is the overall best gaming CPU out there. It has 96MB of L3 cache, runs at 4.2GHz, boosting up to 5GHz, has 8 cores, 16 threads and 120W TDP.
Why 7800x3D instead of 7950x3D? The answer is simple: CCDs. AMD made the terrible decision to put all the 3D V-Cache on top of a single CCD instead of in the middle like previously, resulting in performance being hurt when you have all cores enabled during games, since half of the cores sit on a separate CCD. The 7800x3D doesn’t suffer from it because it has only 8 cores, which means all of them are packed inside the same CCD.
You can learn more about it in this video(and also see some benchmarks on the CPU):
Fastest Phone CPU
Now, while researching for this article, this part in specific surprised me. For years now, snapdragons have been the absolute best in terms of performance AND efficiency in the phone market, however early this year, the Dimensity 9200+ (or Dimensity 9200 Plus) was released, and wow. Coming with 8 cores(1 Cortex-X3 for Max performance at 3,35 GHz, 3 Cortex-A715 for High performance at 3 GHz and 4 Cortex-A510 for Efficiency at 2 GHz), the aggressive overclocking on top of having latest gen ARM cores gave it a solid margin above the second place on antutu, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2(obviously, at the time of writing this).

Growing from just a few marinas in the Caribbean to a global network of marinas reflects the tremendous success and growth IGY has seen under Farkas Chairmanship.
SKD Marina is a historic, 5 Gold Anchor, 185-ship facility, as well as the only marina in Central London. IGY will be adding St.Katherine’s alongside its other European marinas, such as Malaga (Spain), Sète (France) and Porto Cervo (Sardinia). IGY has stated that the move into London was facilitated by a projected increase in tourism post-Brexit.
With the help of Chairman and Founder Andrew Farkas, IGY looks to bring new life to the SKD Marina. Improvement of customer service, operating procedures, and overall global marketing awareness are key points of emphasis for the luxury yacht operation company. This expansion operation of yet another luxury marina cements IGY as the largest international superyacht destination company in the world.
The $25 million renovation at Maximo Marina in St. Petersburg, Florida has been completed after redevelopment and renovations by IGY Marinas. On behalf of the owner, Bixby Bridge Capital, IGY Marinas oversaw the project including all aspects of design, redevelopment and operations since 2015.
Maximo Marina is the largest covered boat slip marina in Florida, containing covered wet slips for vessels up to 100 feet in length. Maximo Marina now features a variety of world-class amenities including floating concrete docks, a state of the art fuel dock, boat lifts, complimentary WiFi, renovated support facilities, and the opening of the new Getaway Maximo Restaurant, the largest restaurant opening in south St. Petersburg in over a decade.
“This was a complex project from a design, permitting and execution standpoint. The marina was over 50 years old and IGY took great care to ensure that this marina was redesigned to be responsive to the market and the evolving sizes of vessels both for today and for the next 50 years. IGY worked with us to ensure that all the critical customer touchpoints were addressed and that the uniqueness of the marina was maintained, all while making sound cost-benefit recommendations. IGY was able to institute a phasing plan that allowed a portion of the marina to stay open throughout construction which was very important to our customers. We are very pleased that IGY and ORION were able to deliver this project on time and under budget,” said Steven Fass, a principal at Bixby.
With the complete renovation, Maximo Marina can welcome over 200 vessels in wet slips, where 142 are covered and 58 have lifts. The marina can also accommodate an additional 88 vessels with inside storage racks, and 200 in outside dry storage racks.
IGY Marinas continues to be well-known in the industry as a leading marina operator, redeveloping and operating marinas around the world.
IGY Marinas has announced that the landmark 360 building at Yacht Haven Grande has been leased to a private group including Kiran Akal, former creative consultant for Walt Disney and Warner Music writer and artist, as well as Dave Goodman, former vice president of Walt Disney Company, and Anheuser Busch Theme Park executive.
The group plans to transform the 360 building into a premier facility that is unique along the Caribbean cruise line route. The themed attraction will include elements from the rich history and culture of the US Virgin Islands, as well as some of the sought after natural resources of the area.
The project also has the support of the U.S.V.I. Department of Tourism, the Florida-Caribbean Cruise Association and IGY Marinas, founded by Andrew Farkas. The new attraction will not only contribute to the local economy, but will provide jobs in the hospitality, retail and technical sectors, and further diversify the area’s tourism offering.
The group looks forward to collaborating with essential government agencies as they make this project a highly visible symbol in the future of the region, supporting IGY’s fourteen-year commitment to economic development of the USVI.
IGY Marinas, a global marina network owned by Mr. Andrew Farkas, recently announced plans to expand to another marina in the northeast region of the United States. IGY acquired Fore Points Marina in Portland, Maine and will be opening it in 2019. When it is completed, it will have over 8,000 linear feet of dockage, with space for over 140 vessels and up to 10 mega yachts.
Tom Mukamal, CEO of IGY, commented on the expansion: “The addition of Fore Points Marina represents continued growth for the IGY network and we’re looking forward to the 2019 season with the opportunity to offer this new destination to current and future guests.”
IGY Marinas locations are known for their superior service and amenities, and the Fore Points location will be no different. It is expected to offer high-speed fueling, waste management, and a captain & crew lounge, among other amenities. The marina is also surrounded by entertainment options for boaters when they dock, including restaurants and landmarks. Downtown Portland is close by, with bars and shops for tourists to visit.
IGY Marinas is based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, but its portfolio includes locations in over a dozen beautiful destinations around the world such as Colombia, Turks and Caicos, and Panama. For many years now, Mr. Farkas has dedicated time and resources to various philanthropic causes, and IGY Marinas has followed his lead with its “Inspire Giving Through You” campaign. The program has taken marina employees off of the docks and placed them in local communities to support charities and nonprofit organizations.
Mr. Farkas and the IGY Marinas team have created an unparalleled network of luxury marinas around the world, and the addition of Fore Points Marina will provide even more growth for the company.
IGY Marinas recently completed its annual “Giving Day”, and one of the organizations it donated its time to was The Sanctuary on 8th Street in Jacksonville, FL. IGY owns the Marina at Ortega Landing, and when the management team was looking for a cause to support, a slip holder at the marina recommended the Sanctuary, which is a nonprofit education program. Mr. Andrew Farkas leads the IGY management team as Founder & Chairman. IGY Marinas is affiliated with Island Capital Group LLC, a leading real estate services firm, of which Mr. Farkas is also Chairman and CEO.
The Sanctuary on 8th Street is a nonprofit organization that provides afterschool, summer school and homeschool programs to local students in the Jacksonville area. It is located in an aging building that was in need of repairs, so IGY Marinas’ staff volunteered to help for a day. Five staff members and nine volunteers from the marina’s boating community worked on the exterior of the building and the landscaping around it. They power-washed the building and sidewalk, repainted the front of the building, installed stained-glass in the windows, and placed fresh mulch around the trees. The project totaled nearly 100 man-hours in volunteer labor, and the marina also donated money to the organization. Nearly $3,000 went towards paint, mulch, and the windows, and they also gave a check for $500 to support the summer school program.
Mr. Farkas and the IGY Marinas leadership team have demonstrated their commitment to philanthropic causes ever since the company was founded in 2005. The IGY Community Outreach Project has helped dozens of towns such as Jacksonville by sending IGY Marinas staff members into local communities to give back for a day. IGY also created the NYC Eastern Caribbean Relief Fund to support victims of Hurricanes Irma and Maria, with a goal of raising $5 million to give to affected families. By continuing to donate to those in need, Mr. Farkas is ensuring that IGY Marinas is making a positive impact wherever it is present.
The NYC Eastern Caribbean Relief Fund Inc., co-founded by IGY Marinas, has donated $120,000 to the Schneider Regional Medical Center Foundation (SRMC). This donation will go towards medical equipment that was either lost or damaged during Hurricanes Irma and Maria.
IGY Marinas CEO and founder Andrew L. Farkas has made it his goal to help the Caribbean community recover from the natural disasters that occurred in 2017 through the NYC Eastern Caribbean Relief Fund Inc. Donations such as the one made to SRMC does just that by allocating the donation towards medical equipment.
Just as the name suggests, SRMC sees that patients receiving care at Roy Lester Schneider Hospital in St. Thomas have all of the equipment necessary for their treatment. Additionally, SRMC does the same for Myrah Keating Smith Community Health Center in St. John. In fact, both facilities remained in operation during Hurricanes Irma and Maria and are the only medical facilities on each island. This makes it detrimental that their services meet patient expectations.
Since its founding in September 2017, NYC Eastern Caribbean Relief Fund Inc. has made it its goal to raise $5 million for those affected by Hurricanes Irma and Maria. In addition to providing aide to SRMS, NYC Eastern Caribbean Relief Fund Inc. aims to help the yachting community that has also been affected by the natural disasters. Islands in the Caribbean heavily rely on local communities for goods and services, which has been difficult given the circumstances of the recent hurricanes. Companies such as NYC Eastern Caribbean Relief Fund Inc. help restore the infrastructure between locals and those in the yachting community, all the while providing food, shelter and healthcare for those affected.
By overseeing donations made to organizations like the Schneider Regional Medical Center Foundation, Andrew Farkas will ensure that Caribbean inhabitants will continue to receive care that is of the utmost quality.

After 20 months of travel restrictions, the US is reopening its land and air borders to foreign visitors fully vaccinated against COVID-19 from Monday. The United States is flinging its doors wide open to vaccinated international travellers on Monday, welcoming many visitors who`ve been shut out of the country for 20 months, reported CNN.
The United States is largely wide open, although there are some state and local restrictions that still apply .For example, there are mask mandates in Hawaii, Illinois, New Mexico, Nevada, Oregon and Washington. Washington, DC and Puerto Rico also require masks in indoor public spaces.
In some cities, including New York and San Francisco, there are vaccine requirements for indoor public spaces including restaurants, reported CNN.
Hawaii, which had some of the strictest entry requirements in the US, will now align with the new federal rules for international air travel.
Although capacity restrictions in the state are easing, there are still some limits in place. Getting vaccinated is the key requirement for the vast majority of international travellers hoping to enter the United States, reported CNN.
Children under 18 are exempt from the vaccination requirement. The CDC has the full slate of air travel requirements on its website.

Watering Girl Nude Holding Urn Greek Aquarius The Source by Ingres 11.75H -
This sculpture is adapted from Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres painting, The Source (1856). Ingres (1780-1867) was the most important French painter in the Neoclassical tradition during the first half of the 19th century and one of the most distinguished draftsman in the entire history of art. Some believed that Ingres' portraits are his most expressive and moving works. Though his clothed subjects often become the key to the period fashion for dress historians, this nude portrait, The Source (1856), perfectly expressed the cult of the ideal woman as the 19th century saw her. The absence of body hair seems to function as a veil that keeps the image part real and part ideal.
Watering Girl Nude Holding Urn Greek Aquarius is made from cold cast resin, excellent details, 11.75 in H x 4.5 in W x 4 in D. Weighs 1.6 lbs. PN 5553.

-Interview by Nic Brown-
you were to try to pick one word to describe
So instead of wasting his time trying to pigeonhole Suzi,
B Movie Man
Suzi - It's great to talk to you again
The rumours are true! I returned last week from northern
The lead singer, Emily, and leader of the pack, is played by horror icon Debbie Rochon. This was something like my seventh film with Debbie, and each time I work with her I am in awe of her work. She really sets the bar in terms of an incredibly powerful performance. Plus she's great fun to hang out with and joke around with.
The guitar player, Cynthia, is a new age-y peace, love granola chick, and is expertly played by LA-based actress Ava Brunini. Ava is such a great actress, and I had a ball working with her. And you should see her with a machine gun!
Suzi - The girls are back on ice! Well, at least the ones that weren’t killed by Moe the first time around. Ok, well, maybe one that got killed by Moe the first time around will be back…I mean, did that axe to the head really kill her? She was wearing lots of hairspray, after all.
In the sequel, Moe focuses his attention on a touring pin up/burlesque troupe, slicing and dicing his way through their once idyllic retro world.
And yes, Moe still really loves ice. And chicks. His disturbing back-story is revealed in this film, giving viewers some insight into Moe - the man, the myth, the maniac.
This film has all the elements of the original - times 10. Expect more chills, thrills, scares, fight sequences, chases, gore, sexy chicks, "No, he didn't!" moments, and oh yes, gratuitous nudity. The characters this time around are more fully developed as well (no pun intended). Ok, pun intended. Seriously, directors Geoff Klein and Melissa Mira allowed the actors to flex their own creative muscles and have significant input in terms of the character's personality and development. I think this allowed us to flesh out the characters, and really bring them to life. I think the viewer will care what happens to these girls - it's not just a matter of Girl A being lined up for the slaughter, followed by Girl B, repeat, ad infinitum. I've always believed that if you're half way through a movie, and you don't care whether the characters live or die, it's a bad movie. Geoff and Melissa worked hard to fine tune the killer script (written by Michael Penning), and bringing the individual personalities out of each character.
We shot on location in
I play Joy, who is the manager of the campground, and the one in charge of organizing the big bash/pin up show. I was pleased that Geoff offered me this role, rather than killing me off in the first ten minutes as he had in the last film. ;-)
Suzi - This is a great question! And a very timely topic. You hit the nail on the head - many print publications are struggling due to the growing power and dominance of the internet. It's not just limited to magazines. Newspapers and even books are suffering as well, due to the immediacy and instant gratification of online news, and books that can be read online, Kindle, etc. I imagine that the newspaper may well become a dinosaur in the next ten years or so. Speaking of dinosaurs, I personally love to hold a magazine or book in my hands, rather than strain my eyes to read words on the internet. There's just something so tactile and satisfying about it. At least for this little Dinosaur.
Over the past 7 years, I've written for two major
magazines that have either gone defunct or gone to an online medium only
(Horror Mania and Gorezone). I'm currently writing for 3 hard copy
magazines (Virus Magazine in Germany, Shock Horror Magazine in the UK,
and Bio Gamer Girl Magazine in the US), but I'm sure that they have to
hustle to maintain and grow their fan base and to constantly change to
meet the needs of the "I want it now" era. To the magazine's credit
however, there still is something exciting about receiving an actual
glossy magazine in the mail each month. Sometimes the internet can be
overwhelming, and you end up feeling like you have "ADD", clicking all
over the place, whereas with a magazine, you're able to focus on one
thing at a time, and revel in the experience.
Suzi - I put on my Jigsaw/"Saw" mask and tuxedo and ride my miniature tricycle around the neighbourhood, entertaining the local children. When I'm in the mood for a less solitary endeavour, I grab a few friends and we form a Human Centipede, and give the children pony rides.

The ancient town of Poulton-le-Fylde with its cobbled market place is a leisurely walk from Poulton Plaiz, and frequent train services from this pretty market town provide excellent links to other areas of interest in the North West.
Poulton-le-Fylde itself has a warm, friendly atmosphere with popular traditional pubs, cafés, and mouth watering delicatessens and restaurants, as well as both exclusive boutiques and fascinating local craft shops.
For ten centuries the Parish Church of St Chad has stood in the centre of Poulton-le-Fylde, in early spring its courtyard is covered with crocus, and is well worth a visit. The town regularly takes top honours in the regional Britain in Bloom competition, and has represented the North West several times in the national finals.
Poulton Plaiz - Delightful places to visit.


Simple tricks can save lots of fuel for an automatic car.
Willie Venter, a Fleet Consulting Manager at EQSTRA Fleet Management, said that fuel took up from 40 percent to 45 percent of your car’s running cost.
You may think that an automatic car leaves not much for the driver to improve the fuel efficiency. In fact, there are still driving tricks that keep your car on the move longer. Follow these our insider tips below.
1. Maintain a constant speed
One simple but very useful tip to drive fuel efficiently is speed maintenance. Do not take sudden braking unless necessary, ensure consistent and slow drives and your fuel tank will survive you longer distances.
Maintaining a constant speed saves you more than you think
2. Avoid keeping foot on the brake
It imposes drag on the automatic car when you rest your foot on the gas pedal. That will accordingly impact on fuel economy. According to How Stuff Works, keeping your foot on the gas would place an unnecessary burden on the transmission and engine. What’s more, it will wear out the brakes quickly.
Avoid keeping foot on the brake
3. Have tires properly inflated
The tires play an important role in making sure your vehicle performs at its best and has a huge amount of influence on fuel efficiency. Underinflated tires make your car drag as well as lengthen stopping distances and are mainly unsafe.

4. Don’t drive aggressively
All violent driving like crazy accelerating, fast braking and racing to the robot guzzle fuel quickly. As advised by the United State Environment Protection Agency, aggressive driving could lower the fuel consumption by 5 percent around town and by 33 percent at highway speed. We recommend you to pull away slowly and accelerate gently in order to save fuel.
Don’t drive aggressively
5. Fill up the automatic car with gas in cold weather
Most liquids augment in heat, so the you can get more bang for your buck if filling your automatic car with petrol as the temperature is cold. It is recommended that you hit the gas station in the cool morning or evening.
Fill up the automatic car in cold weather
6. Shift smartly
Generally, the automatic car stays in lower gears slight too long for peak fuel economy. Thereby, the driver should let up on the gas as passing 30 mph to shift to higher gears as early as possible. Then, when the car is in top gear, the driver can continue to accelerate gradually.

My great-grandmother Guadalupe NuÃ±ez Martinez from Pastor Ortiz, Michoacan and founder of Las Guadalupas de San Antonio de Padua Church in Boyle Heights was the queen of buÃ±uelos at the church ferias. Around Christmas time, every countertop in her tiny cottage kitchen would hold stacks of them. They towered over me like skyscrapers made of sugar.
I came across this 8 1/2 x 11 photo of my mother while helping her clean the house the other day.
I hope she doesn’t mind me secretly spiriting it away for use on this blog. It’s such a lovely image, she reminds me of Anna Karina or I think Anna Karina has always reminded me of my mother. No one in my family reminds me of Serge Gainsbourg, that’s probably a good thing.
Perhaps it’s the size of the photo or the starlet affectation of her pose that inspired the joke note to my father (her boyfriend at the time) written on the reverse. Or maybe every young woman that grows up within sight of the Hollywood sign harbors a secret desire to be famous.
Of all my family photos, this is definitely one of my favorites. It is of my great-grandmother Guadalupe Martinez (originally from Pastor Ortiz, Michoacan) at a presentation in her honor. She won out over the other women (presumably, her court) to be crowned “Grandmother of the Year.” According to family stories, the other ladies weren’t too happy about losing. It’s kinda apparent, no?
The dance took place at the CSO Center on Brooklyn Ave (Cesar Chavez) across the street from San Antonio de Padua church. I imagine my great-grandmother’s revered role as the founder of the Guadalupana’s club at the church and provider of the feria tamales and bunuelos contributed to her anointment. Strangely, her involvement with this church would benefit me even after her death and in the most unlikely of ways.
I love the band. You can just make out their name, The Fairlang, artfully done in the infamous Mexican Blackletter.

It was sometime in the future, I had recently returned to Los Angeles after a long absence. I was pleased to discover not only had the Gold Line been finished but I was told the subway to the sea was also completed. I entered the Gold Line station at Mariachi Plaza in Boyle Heights hoping to get to the ocean. Around me the station teemed with thousands of Brown folks. I followed the masses down escalators, assuming they were headed to the platform where I could catch the train to the beach. The escalators kept going down, down, down and then I ended up wandering through a complicated Escher-esque maze of escalators and tunnels. Finally I could see this intense bright, light coming from the floor I was heading to. As the view became clearer, I see the ocean, so brilliant blue, the sand, the palm trees swaying and I can feel the ocean breeze. At a railing, Latino families stand admiring the vista and smiling. As I get closer, I make a shocking discovery. It’s not the ocean at all but a giant hologram, an extremely realistic simulation of the beach. No one around me seems to notice and I feel like that character in the Twilight Zone episode where a woman is yelling to the humans boarding a spaceship to another planet that the alien book titled “To Serve Man” is a cookbook not a manual for the betterment of humankind. I feel incredibly disappointed and let down. Worse yet, I look over and notice in between the teeming tunnels and escalators are stands for every fast food chain and long lines of people waiting to order.
Keep dreaming Los Angeles.
I know it’s totally self-indulgent to share dreams but I was reminded of this one after reading a subway to the sea discussion on LA Eastside.
More than a year later and still the same old letters holding on. Soon after I posted my initial photo here, the folks at Los Anjealous attempted to rally their readers to take over the bar but it seems no one took up the challenge. Perhaps too many folks think like Curbed readers and assume any neighborhood with lots of Mexicanos is too “ghetto” for them.
