Upper Dolpo Trekking
Upper Dolpo Trekking begins with visits to the UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Kathmandu. This region has a vast and rugged landscape inhabited by a hardy, enterprising folk who live in some of the highest villages in the world. Next, we fly to Jhupal via Nepalgunj and begin our trek through remote locations admiring the beautiful rain shadow landscape of the Himalayas.
Up until 1996 foreigners were not allowed access to this region so the culture has largely been unaffected by tourism the Dolpo region is a very isolated area which has been strictly off-limits, so the traditions and way of life have remained intact. Only From 1989 when the southern part of Dolpo was opened to organized trekking groups. This trekking route passed many gigantic mountain ranges Annapurna, Dhaulagiri and Kanjiroba, to name but a few and passed through Lower Dolpo, at one time a small kingdom in its own right.
On our 24 day trek we pass through interesting villages, trekking routes and meet fascinating people. We also cross a few high Himalayan passes and enjoy the vast and tranquil beauty of Phoksundo Lake. From Shey gompa, we follow the ancient Trans Himalayan Trade route and return back to Jhuphal as our trek ends. The trek indeed takes us into the wild west of Nepal. This is the goal of most trekkers but this Dolpo trek will take you even further into this mysterious land.
Dolpo is the permanent home to about 5000 people whose lives are centered on Buddhism and traditional agricultural practices. The distinctive people, architecture and unique light conditions make Dolpo a photographers paradise. This region has a vast and rugged landscape inhabited by a hardy, enterprising folk who live in some of the highest villages in the world. The trek indeed takes us into the wild west of Nepal.

Here it is quite hot and tropical in character.
Day 04: Fly Juphal trek to Dunai
Today, We fly to Jhupal. The town is beautifully located over the Himalayan foothills, with views of Annapurna and Dhaulagiri peaks to its north. Our trek start from here, we walk through terraced fields to the Bheri River and its narrow gorge. We continue walking to Dunai, which are the administrative headquarter of the Dolpo region. Overnight at Dunai.
Day 05: Dunai to Ankhe
After Breakfast at Dunai , you cross the new suspension bridge and turn west, following the trail past the new hospital. You pass through an area which is overgrown with marihuana plants but also has crops for the villagers and animals. You continue to track the river and eventually reach the settlement of Hanke, which is also the entrance to the Phoksundo National Park. The three villages you pass through have a strange name connection: Parela, meaning eyelash, Rahagaon meaning eyebrow, and Ankhe meaning eye.Overnight at Ankhe
Day 06: Ankhe to Renje
We start our Trekking again from Ankhe. The trail starts becoming very hectic but once you cross the river twice on well made bridges, you then make a steep ascent on a very narrow path, hugging the cliff face. Having descended to the river again the trail takes another steep ascent requiring frequent stops to watch the panorama of the landscapes and also for rest. You may camp on the side of Suligad River. Overnight at Renje
Day 07 – Trek to Phosundo Lake (3,600m) – 6.5 hrs
First initial hours of the trek is fairly easy. But from Sumdo the trail becomes very much like an incline. Here the river is left behind and you follow the path high above the water. Climb up to a ridge, about 3,875m, from where you will have the most staggering views of a 300m waterfall, the highest in Nepal, and your first view of Phoksundo Lake. You then descend through birch forests to the upper reaches of the Phoksundo Khola and on to the picturesque settlement of Ringmo with its mud plastered chortens and mani walls. From the settlement it is a short walk to the shores of Phoksundo. Overnight at Phosundo lake
Day 08: Trek to Phoksundo Khola: 4-5 hours
Today our trekking trail moves around the top western end of the Phoksundo Lake as it contours on a rocky ledge along the lakes western bank. At the westernmost edge of the lake the path leads through a lush meadow that opens up into the flood plain of the Phoksundo Khola. This unsteady trail suspended on a gangway of wood supported on pegs driven into crevasse in the rocks, signals the remoteness of the area we are about to enter. Then we walk through the valley, crossing the river and avoiding the occasional boggy marsh underfoot and then coming on the bank of the river to the overnight camp at Phoksundo Khola .
Day 09 – Trek to Phoksundo Bhanjyang (4,402m) – 7 hrs
This morning you continue along the level path through a glacial valley that now heads north. At the confluence of the Phoksundo Khola and another, unnamed, mountain stream there is an old wooden bridge. you take the barely discernible path to the north east up a side valley which has a cavernous look. There is no trail as such, so it is necessary to clamber over rocks and boulders and to ford a stream that rushes down the steep valley. A long climb brings you to a sheep meadow where the trail veers up a steep ravine. A hard climb to the top brings you to yet another valley where you can see the Kang La, the pass will lead you to Shey Gompa. Overnight at Phoksundo Bhanjyang.
Day 10 – Cross the Kang La pass (5,151m) and trek to Shey Gompa (4,126m) – 7 hrs
It will take about 2.5 to 3 hours to reach the top of the Kang La. The views from the top are magnificent and well worth all the hard work. On descending steeply to the valley floor, not more than 45 minutes, you make a long meandering trek along the banks of the river, crossing it once. A red chorten heralds your arrival at Shey Gompa where a quaint wooden log bridge leads up to the Shey compound. Overnight at tented camps in Shey Gompa.
Day 11: Acclimatization and rest at Shey Gompa
Today is another well-earned rest day for acclimatization. We spend the day hiking around Shey village which is famous for its ancient pre-Buddhist culture, the Bon Po. In Dolpo the ancient Tibetan way of life combines animism with the teaching of Buddha. Overnight in Shey Gompa.
Day 12 – Cross the Saldang La pass (4,785m), and then trek to Namduna Gaon (4,400m) – 7 hrs
Today, you start by following a pleasant track amidst juniper, which ascends to a grey, stony canyon. This begins to zig-zag over bare rocks and coarse eroded soil until it eventually brings you to a flat spot, suitable for a brew or lunch, if the weather is fine. Then continuing very steeply up for 20 minutes before traversing to the top of the Saldang La pass. Here you will enjoy great views towards the arid landscapes of Mustang and the distant snow peaks of Tibet. The subsequent descent towards the north is long and tiring, but you finally come upon the welcome sight of pastures of grazing yaks and sheep and nomadic tents made from yak hair. This signals your approach to Namduna Gaon. Like Shey, the Namgung monastery is of the Karma-pa sect. The village itself consists of only six stone houses and has terraced fields on both sides of the tributary, which flows down to the Nam Khong valley. Recently the main cliff temple collapsed and the villagers have now built a beautiful new monastery in the village itself. Overnight at tented camp.
Day 13: Namduna Gaun to Saldang (3,620m/ 11,874ft): 4-5 hours
From Namduna Gaun to saldang , We leave the village and climb up a slope and begin a long walk along dusty barren mountains. After 3-4 hours of hard climb, we begin to see Saldang Village below us on a plateau high above the Namga Khola stream. It has a picturesque appearance. Saldang is the largest village of the inner Dolpo area. The village stretches for nearly two kilometers on an open slope and consists of five villages having about eighty well-built houses with nearly six hundred people. Overnight in Saldang.
Day 14 – Trek to Sibu (3,942m) – 6 hrs
After leaving Saldang on the way down to the river bed you pass through terraced fields, Stupas, Chortens, heaps of Mani stones and a Chaiba monastery. The Namdo monastery is located near the river bed. There is also another monastery on top of a high cliff. You camp near the small Settlement of Sibu, right on the river bank. Overnight at tented camps.
Day 15: Sibu to Jeng-la Phedi (4,900m/16,072ft): 5-6 hours
We walk along the Nam Khong Khola for a while and pass by caravans with yaks that are moving towards the Tibetan border. After turning east and walking for a while, we arrive at aconfluence of two small streams. The steep trail ascends to a grazing area below the Jeng La pass. Overngiht in Jeng la Phedi.
Day 16 – Cross the Jeng La pass (4,845m), trek to Tokyu Gaon (4,240m) – 7 hrs
It is only a 2 hour climb to reach the top of the Jeng La. the trail is generally well compacted making the going underfoot easy, much easier than loose shale, but it is steep. From the top of the pass there are good views of the Dhaulagiri massif, glittering in the morning light. A rough track descends towards the Tarap valley. By the afternoon you find a green valley which leads you by a pleasant track down towards the Tarap Chu. Overnight at tented camps.
Day 17 – Trek to Dho Tarap (4,090m) – 4.5 hrs
Before leaving Tokyu a short visit can be made to the Chaiba Gompa. The trail is broad and well traveled, making the going easy and there is evidence of work in the fields, where the women will be bringing in the harvest – the men are away bringing down the herds of animals for the forthcoming winter. There are many Mani walls but some of the Chortens are in a bad state of repair. The ‘ French School ‘ is just outside the village of Dho Tarap where you have your night stop. Tarap is inhabited mostly by Magars who have lived here for generations but also by a few Tibetans. They wear home-spun clothing that is sometimes dyed maroon and they favor Tibetan style Somba (boots with upturned toes) for footgear. Men and women often wear both religious amulets and strings of coral and turquoise. The inhabitants of this village are both Bon Po and Buddhist (Nyingmapa). In the afternoon a walk up to the Buddhist Gompa is very worthwhile. There is a resident lama who is very happy to show off his monastery and might even let you see his private Gompa and the Tankas he has made himself. The Bon Gompa is about half an hour’s walk from camp. Overnight at tented campss.
Day 18 – Trek to Serkam (3,630m) – 6.5 hrs
Your route follows the course of the Tarap Khola, generally downhill. You go through narrow gorges with the river rushing through. One may see blue sheep, marmots, yaks, sheep, and goats and perhaps meet people from Dolpo taking their flocks of sheep and goats to lower pastures for the winter. The afternoon brings more undulations in the path when it leaves the immediate course of the river. There is evidence of improvements to the trail where parts of the rock have been blasted out. You will also see the first of the modern steel suspension bridges which have been built to facilitate movement of people and animals. The track is very narrow in places. You reach your overnight camp on a grassy strip by the river. Overnight at tented camps.
Day 19 – Trek to Khani Gaon (2,550m) – 7 hrs
You continue to walk down the gorge of the Tarap River, at times alongside it and at others high above, on a narrow trail built out from the steep slopes. The quality of the path varies from broad, smooth and firm to very narrow and crumbly. There are also flights of manmade stone staircases which need to be tackled with care some of the constituent rocks wobble when stepped upon! An exciting day in deep and awe-inspiring gorges. Your camp site is a pleasant meadow in the shade of a stand of trees. Overnight at tented camps.
Day 20: Khanigaon to Tarakot (2,537m/8,321ft): 4-5 hours
From the camp we follow a trail that takes us to the village of Lalberi. Our trail then passes through a lush forest, descends into another gorge and continues to follow the river again. After reaching Tarakot, we can visit Sandul Gompa which lies about 8 km east of the village at a juncture of Barbung Khola, Tarap Chu and monastery stands on a hill to the south of Bheri River. Today we camp by the Tarap Chu river about 150 meters below Tarakot, near the police post. Overnight in Tarakot.
Day 21 Tarakot Trek to Dunai (2,052m) – 5 hrs
The trail is mostly down and fairly firm. Walking beside the Bheri river, you use the ingenious path built twenty feet above the river. All too soon you have reached the village of Dunai and the camp site you used before. Overnight at tented camps.
Day 22:Dunai to Jhuphal: 2-3 hours
From Dunai, we trek along the Bheri River enjoying the beautiful landscape. On the way, we pass through Dhupichaur and Rupgad villages as well as a temple. We continue trekking via Kalagaonda village and Motipur village before reaching the small airstrip. Overnight in Jhuphal.
Day 23 – Fly to Kathmandu via Nepalgunj
Early morning flight to Nepalgunj from Juphal. This is a wonderful 35-minute flight over the Himalayan foothills, with fine views of giant peaks including Annapurna and Dhaulagiri to the north. You then connect with the flight back to Kathmandu. Overnight at a hotel in Kathmandu.

One of the North East’s most beloved beaches is being saved from erosion.
Work on Tynemouth’s popular sands begins this week to ensure the beach will be preserved for future generations.
The beach’s revamp is being funded by a £57,000 grant from the Environment Agency.
A 50-metre board walk, built along the south end of beach, will allow access to visitors while protecting the landscape.
Sand meanwhile will be poured onto the beach in order to rebuild the dunes, which protect the town from harsh North Sea winds.
Workers will also plant marram grass bushes to bind sand together, as well as carrying out repairs on fences and resigning access routes.
Council official for housing and environment, John Harrison, said: “I am delighted this work is under way, it’s vital we ensure the dunes are preserved and the beach can continue to be enjoyed by all.
“Tynemouth Longsands – an award winning beach – is extremely popular with residents and visitors alike.
“It’s important we ensure it’s safe and well-maintained.”
Work carried out by Capita is expected to last until mid-November.
Spokesman for the company Barry Pilkington said: “We recognise that North Tyneside’s fantastic coastline is one of the borough’s jewels.
“We are delighted to be helping the council in its ongoing work to protect and safeguard the future of the sand dunes at Tynemouth Longsands.”

Release Date: Oct 11, 2019
Record label: Matador
Kim Gordon is the archetypal kool thing. Uncompromising, potent and essential. No Home Record, her debut solo album, is bloody brilliant. The nine tracks delve into the psyche of modern America, LA specifically, and reminds you that there is depth and beauty in the deconstruction of the superficial and ugly.
The last chapter of Kim Gordon's 2015 memoir, Girl in a Band, is a kind of epilogue--a bridge to the next volume in the long life of the indie-rock icon. Sonic Youth is over, and so is Gordon's marriage to bandmate Thurston Moore. Their daughter, Coco, is off at art school. Gordon has left the family's brick homestead in Northampton, Massachusetts, but instead of returning to New York, where she was a paragon of Downtown cool since 1981, she heads out to Los Angeles, where she grew up.
Almost four decades after starting Sonic Youth with just a drum machine, guitar and copy from advertisements that she would rework into lyrics, she mimics this same concept within her first release as a solo artist, and has come full circle in many senses. Returning back to her native California after living on the East Coast for many years, she firmly asserts herself as an independent force while questioning the commodification of home, underpinned with striking electronic influences. The track "Air BnB" for example, takes listeners to the shores of Malibu where Gordon permeates through 47-inch televisions, daybeds and bubble wrap to declare "American idea / Copyright, copyrights / Air BnB! / Air BnB!/ Air BnB! / Gonna set me free," blending snarling guitars with the same formula of using ads for inspiration, just reformatted to suit the modern age of digital indulgence.
With every year that passes after Sonic Youth's breakup, Kim Gordon's art becomes more liberated and more revealing. As she focused on the visual art career she sidelined for decades, her music shattered her limiting persona as an aloof, cooler-than-cool alt-rock icon while holding onto her most essential strengths. This is especially true of No Home Record, her fearless, witty, and sensual solo debut.
Kim Gordon is a certified pop culture icon. As a founding member of Sonic Youth she became a role model for a generation. Since then she's done everything from producing a critically-acclaimed Hole record to writing a much-lauded memoir. It seems crazy to think that it has taken until 2019 for her to release a solo album.
Prompted by the Sonic Youth legend's fear of cultural homogeny, this is an accessible guitar record that surprises despite its author's truly enormous legacy Over the last few years, Kim Gordon has developed an unlikely obsession: Airbnb interiors. Burying herself in a heap of scatter-cushions emblazoned with cheery slogans and stencil-cut skyline canvases, the former Sonic Youth member has even staged an exhibition - She Bites Her Tender Mind , at IMMA in Dublin - exploring the subject. "People are looking at this utopian weekend getaway as trying on a different lifestyle,” she told The New York Times .
Kim Gordon has been busy. Sure, this record might be her official debut solo album, but just look at what she's achieved since Sonic Youth split back in 2011: a phenomenal book; music with the searing Body/Head project; appearances in cinema alongside Joaquin Phoenix and Jonah Hill, as well as pursuing her interests in fashion and design. Despite all this, though, 'No Home Record' remains feverishly anticipated.
I n 2016, Kim Gordon released Murdered Out, a track on which she howled over a louche funk bassline as though auditioning for Rage Against the Machine. A collaboration with avant-pop producer Justin Raisen (Sky Ferreira, Yves Tumor), it paved the way for Gordon's first album under her own name, reflecting her move back to her native LA, where "you can pee in the ocean/ It's free". While No Home Record is a more accessible outing than her avant-garde Body/Head work, Gordon - formerly of Sonic Youth - is still in the business of unsettling.
Kim Gordon was always a curious blend of telling it like it is and keeping it elusive. She used the former as a grounding rod of dispassionately observational revelations - keeping it real - while the latter came from the ambiguous spirit of an artistic perception that thrived on radical fluidity and a sense of conceptual suspense. Crafting a persona simultaneously iconic and iconoclastic, Gordon always acted subversively but within pop culture, shoving her glorious noise down the throat of the mainstream and elegantly navigating the ironic edges of a contradictory world.
The Lowdown: It seems incredible to type this sentence in 2019 and have it be true, but here goes: No Home Record is the debut solo record from Kim Gordon, the iconic artist and musician who spent 30 years perched at the apex of cool as a member of Sonic Youth. In the eight years since Thurston Moore’s infidelity ended both their marriage and Sonic Youth’s time as a band, Gordon’s stayed busy, striking up collaborations with guitarists Bill Nace (as Body/Head) and Alex Knost (as Glitterbust), staging gallery shows in New York and London, and publishing a bestselling memoir (2015’s Girl in the Band). She also returned to her hometown of Los Angeles after more than half a lifetime out east.

My girlfriend's father helped me install a new water heater, and I watched
closely in the interest of eventually being able to do something my darned
self someday. Well, it turns out my chance came sooner than I thought. The
pipe feeding cold water to the tank has a slow leak at one of the connectors
(copper pipe fitted to another copper pipe). Looking at it closely, it
doesn't have the silveryness of the other connections, so maybe we forgot to
solder it, but it's such a slow leak that this seems unlikely.
Anyway, the leak is from the BOTTOM of the connection, so if I want to fx
this without cutting pipe and dismantling everything all over again, the
solder would have to suck upwards into the joint. So my questions are:
1) with a cutoff valve being right above where this leak is, can I assume
that shutting it off and draining the water heater a little bit will give me
a water-free inside of the pipe at that point so I can successfully heat up
the pipe enough for solder?
2) Assuming "yes" to the above, will solder flow upwards into this joint,
"sucked" up by the heat?
Thanks for any input here, I'm a floundering newbie. I appreciate your

This venue is my way to reach out and stay in touch with friends. Hopefully, with the grace of luck and some harmless trickery, I might be able to make some new ones.
I have recently rekindled a love I thought was lost a long ago - and that is writing. For reasons I do not know, it has sprung back with a fury and a vengeance. I am grateful to all who have taken the time to read my autobiographical short stories. These are stories which capture the love and the humor for which I grew up in. I write these stories as a testament to my parents but I share them with you, my dear friends.
I have little concern for what your ethnic, cultural or spiritual background is. You will not be judged for anything more than your ability to be a human being with a grand soul. If you can't be a human being - if your purpose is to cause pain and discord - then I will come at you like a rabid badger.
Diversification is fine, for we are all part of the same race.... the Human Race.

NEW DELHI: The Delhi high court has upheld the dismissal of a DTC driver for his "inhumane and atrocious" conduct of not allowing an old woman to board the bus and abusing her daughter in public. Justice Kailash Gambhir upheld the sacking of driver Inder Sain by the Delhi Transport Corporation's disciplinary authority. "This riotous, inhumane and atrocious conduct of the petitioner (Sain) certainly does not in any manner sway this court to reduce his punishment from the removal of service to some other lesser punishment," Justice Gambhir said, upholding Sain's ouster on a complaint by the elderly woman's daughter.

Each player card on my Madden Ultimate Team has a limited number of games they can play on contract. I can get contract cards to increase the contract number, but is that card only usable one time on one player?
Yes, contract cards are single-use: one time only on one player only.
As with many other aspects of Ultimate Team play, there is precious little documentation available, but plenty of anecdotal evidence to sift through. In general, when you have a question about Ultimate Team, it's safe to assume that the least favorable aspect applies (having a player appear for one play will subtract one game from his contract, losing your connection during a game will count as if you had finished the game except that you won't get any coins).

I am about to lead off into a post that might make people go “huh” in the first few paragraphs (or all the way through). It is however, just something I have been pondering, so I decided to write it down.
My friends will tell you that I think some women on occasion are wasted space. And I am not saying that to be mean, I just have great female friends and relatives and don’t have time for the games and the hormonal B.S. that exceeds P.M.S. in a lot of “adult” women.
And face it, a lot of purportedly “adult” women are still pulling the same stunts they did in grade school and high school. I try not to be intolerant, and I want to be understanding always, but sometimes it is just not possible.
Such is the nature of relationships women have with other women. If we are honest with ourselves, that is. And if we are truly honest with ourselves as women, surviving in the land of women can be like navigating a maze or an obstacle course. And in that vein, every woman goes through phases where other women make them want to beat their head against the wall.
I don’t expect everyone to like me, to understand me, to want to be my friend. And I am quite o.k. with that. I know who I am, so it’s all good. I do not pretend to be perfect; I am a human and I am flawed. I am just me, have no desire to be anyone else. Like everyone else I love, I laugh, I have experienced hardship and loss.
Those who have seemingly magical lives untouched by anything unpleasant are really, really lucky. I will never pretend my life has been a continual paragon of perfection because all relationships take work and sometimes life circumstance takes us where we never expect. Besides, acknowledging occasional bumps in the road isn’t a bad thing. It is part of who we are, adds character. I guess I don’t understand when people are afraid to live life out loud and in color.
As women our differences and similarities shouldn’t freak people out so much. But have you noticed how it often does?
Where I used to live, some of us (male and female) used to refer to this group of women as “the mean girls.” And oh, were they ever. They were like a gaggle of mean, pecking geese. If you weren’t like them, didn’t share their politics or parenting style, you were literally a target. They were rather parochial in their very limited bullying ways. It was somewhat astounding and always amusing. Especially when they acted like quasi well-bred alley cats and then lectured others on manners and decorum.
Of course one of the things I always found amusing was one of them who was always particularly critical and mean to others had the worst body odor. I often wondered if she ever knew the reason people backed away wasn’t always just because they did not want to deal with intimidation, but because she was rather odoriferous.
Even out here in my newer world I have found that it is not always easy to survive in the land of women. One such creature contacted me unbidden the other day. She said to me (and I quote)
“Stupid bitch. It’s ok to have an opinion as long as it agrees with yours. You’re ugly inside and out, blogging bitch.”
Amazingly enough this woman sent this to me with full disclosure of who she was. Equally amazing is that this woman was never a friend or an acquaintance, had never met me, never had a conversation with me. Nothing. She just did not like my opinion is pretty much what it boiled down to. Hopefully she feels better now. Did I mention this woman is a grandmother I am told? I am sorry I just can’t picture my grandmothers ever doing such a thing.
Other things about women that drive me occasionally crazy as an adult (and also did as a teen and in my early twenties) is the way some women can obsess over what others are saying and trying to divine what they are thinking, search for hidden meanings where none exist. Some women can even create issues and drama where there are none to worry about. This happens a lot more today I think because of social media.
Have you ever had someone ask you if your Facebook or Twitter status is about them? Maybe some people roll that way, but I do not. When someone did that to me recently, it actually creeped me out a little. It also annoyed the bejesus out of me. I am pretty darn direct and if something bothers me, I spit it out in person.
Does what happened bother me still? No. But I am writing about it because I think it is germane to what I am writing with regard to how women interact with each other. The person who did this will undoubtedly be upset to see this written down, but again, nothing personal please avoid drama- it just is a good example of the dumb stuff that happens.
Recently, out of the blue, someone I let go from my life easily fifteen or twenty years ago surfaced. This is one of those people who always used to leave a trail of emotional wreckage and drama behind her. She was one of those people you just let go of because among other things you get tired of hearing what she has done and living in the wake of unecessary drama.
As life always comes full circle, this woman is back again. New husband, new life. I am in truth, happy for her and wish her well. But it doesn’t mean I want to pick back up. I don’t. The funny thing is she doesn’t get that I feel neither hate nor animosity, but in truth, feel nothing. Not being mean, but she is just not part of the equation of my life. Maybe it is file under once bitten, twice shy. I don’t know. All I know is I just can’t go there again. And it should be o.k. to feel that way.
And that is at the crux of change sometimes: it just is, and it is not done for others, it is done for yourself. After surviving breast cancer a lot of crap doesn’t matter to me any longer. I have let stuff go and moved on. I have also let go of people I did not feel were positive in my life.
It sounds a little zen, so maybe it is. There are other things I want to do, other people I want to meet. My core group of friends remains the same and I am blessed because a lot of them pretty much go back to the cradle of it all. But as for others? Sorry, but I have to do what is best for me. In some cases that means walking away and ignoring people, in other cases just letting people go. Life is too short and often too hard to spend it around people who do not make you happy.
In this odd land of surviving woman also comes something cool this week: I will be reading an advanced copy of actress/director/writer Nia Vardalos’ book Instant Mom. I will then review it for this blog and possibly interview her. She is one of my favorite actresses, so how cool is that?
I also have been published in a book that is a compilation of a book of essays written by breast cancer survivors. A long while ago my friend (and amazing writer) Nicki Boscia Durlester told me she was writing another book. Only this one would be different. It would not just be her journey through breast cancer, it would be the stories of many.
Nicki asked me to be part of this, and I said yes. And as the calendar creeps up on the 2nd anniversary of my diagnosis and the 2nd anniversary of my surgery, the book is out and published.
I am incredibly proud and rather emotional at being a part of this book. There are a lot of survivor stories out there, and it is an honor to have been chosen to stand with all these amazing and incredible women.
Like every breast cancer diagnosed, no one woman’s story is exactly the same although you will find threads of commonality that bond us together.
It is called The Pink Moon Lovelies: Empowering Stories of Survival [Paperback] . It is available on Amazon.com. And again, Nicki Boscia Durlester is the overall author, editor, and provides the inroduction.
Anyway, life is a journey. And we all deserve to be happy. But as a woman, sometimes I just find surviving in the land of women an uneasy sisterhood at best. I am sorry if that upsets people, or others interpret this post as a weird betrayal because it is not. Some of what I write is from my own life experience, and my writing mentors have always said “write what you know.” Well this is part of what I know.
Do I think women should be more supportive of each other? Yes, but we also have to be honest. And part of that honesty means acknowledging to yourself and others that you are not going to get along with everyone, nor should you be expected to. We are all different.
Thanks for stopping by.

Gigi Hadid and Joe Jonas emerged this summer as what seems to be the newest inseparable young Hollywood couple. Hadid and Jonas have been seen together everywhere from the streets of New York to lunches in Los Angeles to a club in the Hamptons.
Hadid has been spotted multiple times wearing white-and-navy Vans Vansguard laceup sneakers. She’s worn them both on the street and at the 1Oak club in Southampton. She’s also a fan of black Nike trainers, which she’s paired with comfortable leggings and with jeans and a blazer.
At the airport with Jonas in July, Hadid wore Giuseppe Zanotti black leather sneakers with grommet detailing. Never afraid to repeat a favorite pair of shoes, Hadid also wore her Rodarte Python Multi ankle booties that she wore earlier this year.
Jonas prefers to keep things simple but stylish — he’s been spotted mostly in black sneakers, especially the black Nike Fingertrap Max Premium.
Over the weekend, Jonas posted a photo on Instagram of his and Hadid’s matching Adidas Yeezy Boost 350 white sneakers, which he said were a gift. Although Hadid is close friends with Kendall Jenner, it seems she hasn’t been given a pair of the coveted all-black Yeezys yet.

I stumbled upon these paintings, The Three Graces and Goddess Diana and Nymph Callisto, the other day and it really got me thinking about the current state of body image and female figures portrayed in the media. At first, I was going to keep my upset thoughts to myself, but I thought it was better to share it with my Intimate Story girls, because images like this celebrate the reality of women and need to be seen.
In both paintings, the goddesses are depictions of “the epitome of beauty”. Which, yes, means their soft bellies and rolls were seen as beautiful, too. I love images like these because they portray women exactly how they are, and how they should be!
We’re meant to have some curves and cellulite to us. So why are images like this not okay in today’s day and age? Our society has trained us to think that having bodies like these is completely unacceptable, even when it’s natural and how how many of us look! It makes no sense to me that the media says you’re “attractive” if you have a body and face only Photoshop can create (literally impossible to achieve otherwise) but “unattractive” if we have physiques similar to the vast majority of women. How fucked up is that?!
These women clearly had no issues celebrating their feminine curves and posing naked for hours in front of an artist (and I think we can all agree they look fierce as hell!). So, why should we feel bad about our bodies now?
Now go and own those curves, girl!

Cases of acute hepatitis of ‘unknown origins’ in children have been reported in the UK as well as multiple EU nations
Multiple cases of acute hepatitis in children have been reported in Europe over the past few days, the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) said in a statement on Monday.
The UK was the first to report the issue and had accumulated the most cases to date, the watchdog noted. All the cases in Britain were “presented clinically with severe acute hepatitis, with increased levels of liver enzymes,” while some of the patients also “reported gastrointestinal symptoms, including abdominal pain, diarrhea and vomiting in the preceding weeks.”
COMMENT, from Victor-Victoria Say no more…..-RNA COVID vaccines. The chromosomes in the liver can incorporate viral DNA from Hep B and Hep C leading to chronic disease. DNA as a by product of vaccination with m-RNA vaccines has already been detected by scientists in the liver.
“Following the reports of cases of acute hepatitis of unknown origin by the UK Health Security Agency, additional cases in children have been reported in Denmark, Ireland, the Netherlands, and Spain,” the ECDC stated.

In addition, nine cases of acute hepatitis among children ages one to six have been found in the US state of Alabama, the watchdog said. The transatlantic cases have also tested positive for adenovirus and it was not immediately clear whether or not they are somehow related to the European outbreak.
The origins of acute hepatitis are still unknown and the ECDC along with local specialists are currently running various tests to establish the reasons behind the outbreak. “Investigations are ongoing in all countries reporting cases. At present, the exact cause of hepatitis in these children remains unknown,” the watchdog said.
COMMENT from Bella: Most likely because of the vax and they’re refusing to admit the truth.
A UK incident team investigating the cases has suggested that they might have been caused by “an infectious agent or a possible toxic exposure.” The investigators have already ruled out possibilities that the outbreak might be linked to coronavirus vaccines, since the children infected had little in common altogether.
“No link to the COVID-19 vaccine was identified and detailed information collected through a questionnaire to cases about food, drink and personal habits failed to identify any common exposure,” the ECDC stated.
Comments are from original post
COMMENT from Roald …. I would for sure not exclude adverse event due to Pfizer or Moderna mRNA vaccines injected in innocent children.
Why do I say so? Well, none of the cases currently under investigation involve any of the common viruses that cause hepatitis, further suggesting that COVID jabs are the culprit.
On top of that, Pfizer’s own study shows mRNA chemicals accumulate in liver, cause hepatitis.
For sure. Since mRNA injections will probably never even get a mention as a possible cause, these government agencies will spin their wheels while never producing an honest result. Such is the nature of government.
Never mind that research conducted by Pfizer, one of the two pharmaceutical corporations that produces mRNA injections – the other is Moderna – shows that spike proteins from the injections circulate throughout the body and end up concentrating in the liver.

COLUMBIA, S.C. (CN) - Top Democratic presidential candidates revealed similar ideas for rebuilding America’s criminal justice system that they said places a disproportionate amount of black Americans in prison during a forum in South Carolina Saturday.
The three-day-long Second Step Presidential Justice Forum, which was sponsored by the 20/20 Bipartisan Justice Center, began Friday on the campus of Columbia’s historically black Benedict College.
Each of the six Democrats who spoke in the Palmetto State on Saturday acknowledged racial disparities that permeate throughout the criminal justice system. The presidential hopefuls pointed to a numerous array of social and economic injustices that they say contribute to a large amount of black Americans and minority citizens becoming incarcerated.
Senator Kamala Harris announced on Friday that she would boycott the event after its sponsor gave President Donald Trump an award that evening for passing the First Step Act last year.
The California senator said she did not want to take part in the “papering over” of Trump’s record of “decades of celebrating mass incarceration, pushing the death penalty for innocent Black Americans, rolling back police accountability measures and racist behavior that puts people’s lives at risk.”
Trump condemned Harris’ decision to protest, tweeting that the unemployment numbers under his administration and his signing of the First Step Act into law is more than the senator “will ever be able to do for African Americans.”
On Friday, some people who were released early from prison under the First Step Act accompanied Trump on the stage and applauded his signing of the bipartisan bill into law.
Many candidates who spoke during Saturday’s portion of the forum, like former Vice President Joe Biden and South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg, highlighted the need for many more steps to occur in order to keep citizens out of prison and to repair communities that have been damaged by mass incarceration.
It was in the mayor’s hometown in June that an officer shot Eric Logan.
When asked on Saturday what he learned from the fatal shooting by South Bend Police Sgt. Ryan O’Neill, Buttigieg said that incentivizing a diversified police force on the federal level is a good start. Along with other Democrats on Saturday, Buttigieg said inequities seen in America’s incarcerated track back to youth and do not always revolve directly around policing.
“It is a myth that locking people up makes us safe,” he said on Saturday.
Harris ended up speaking about justice reform during her allotted time slot on Saturday afternoon— after the event sponsor that awarded the president was removed. That was not before she publicly responded to Trump’s claims.
“My whole life I've fought for justice and for the people — something you'd know nothing about. The only part of criminal justice you can claim credit for is the “criminal” part,” Harris responded in a tweet.
Senator Harris, like Benedict College students who asked questions during Q&A sessions with candidates on Saturday, also attended a historically black college.
"This is somebody who has disrespected the voices that have been present for decades about the need for reform of this system — the people who have marched for justice in this system, the people who have sacrificed to create leadership around justice in this system," Harris said of President Trump on Saturday.
Harris concurred with Buttigieg’s statement concerning imprisonment, stating that better healthcare, financial opportunities, affordable housing and education funding can result in the proactive diminishing of the number of incarcerated Americans.
“The goal should be healthy communities, because when you have healthy communities, you have safe communities,” she said.
She added that 70% of incarcerated Americans are high school dropouts, and that she plans to implement higher federal funding for teacher pay and training, as well as investment in broadband accessibility across rural areas.
The forum, according to the Bipartisan Justice Center, is meant to give candidates from across isles the chance to come together on the issues.
There is still a presidential race to be won, and black voters in South Carolina are critical.
Biden is leading in the state among Democratic voters by a large margin, but 19% of black residents who are expected to vote in the Democratic primaries are undecided, according to a Monmouth University poll released last week.
On Saturday, the front-runner called for transparency in law enforcement data reporting.
Biden expressed a similar holistic-type approach to criminal justice reform outlined by the other candidates who spoke before him.
“My plan ensures 100% of formerly incarcerated individuals have housing,” he said, for example, noting that those released from prison have a much higher rate of returning if they can’t secure adequate housing.
Each of Saturday’s candidates, including New Jersey Senator Cory Booker and Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, said they aim to reduce the amount of unjustly incarcerated individuals in America by legalizing marijuana and funding better mental health services.
The forum continues on Sunday with speeches by Senator Elizabeth Warren, Julian Castro and Representative Tulsi Gabbard.Follow @@ErikaKate5

USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN 78) conducted a conventional ammunition on-load, April 9, in support of workups and training for an upcoming deployment. Ford successfully on-loaded approximately 541,000 pounds of ordnance using both connected transfers and vertical lifts from the dry cargo and ammunition ship USNS William McLean (T-AKE 12). More than 400 Sailors from Ford’s weapons, deck and aircraft intermediate maintenance departments participated in the event, collecting more than 200 pallets from the flight deck and hangar bay then transporting them to multiple advanced weapons elevators to be stored in the ship’s magazines. The on-load started with Ford pulling alongside William McLean and shooting lines over to establish communications and connect distance lines. Once attached, MH-60S helicopters attached to the “Tridents” of Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron 9, began to lift ammunition over to Ford’s flight deck and pallets of ammunition were transferred via connected replenishment. The ammunition from this on-load is essential for arming aircraft with live ordnance during carrier qualifications and carrier strike group integration. Onloading ammunition while underway is critical to Ford’s ability to supply the embarked air wing with ordnance needed to conduct its missions. This successful evolution will bring Ford one step closer to deployment readiness.
“We on-loaded both live and training ammunitions to help support Carrier Air Wing 8 and our security forces on board for this underway. Every carrier needs ammunition to complete the mission. There is nothing we can’t do when we have a fully loaded ship. I could not be prouder of our Sailors. The whole department doing what we were meant to do was the pinnacle of my time here. This on-load is a big piece of the puzzle for our ship to do what carriers were meant to do,” said Lt. Cmdr. Paul Castillo, from San Diego, Ford’s Ordnance Handling Officer.
“All weapons divisions were involved with the evolution and personnel worked from the magazines to the flight deck to ensure everything was safe and efficient. The whole evolution went smoothly. It was impressive to watch, and I am proud to be part of the team that made it happen. It feels good because we get to show what weapons department really does. We spent a lot of time and hard work to get to this point and it payed off. Getting the entire department together as a group was great, everybody was excited and ready to go. Everybody was in the right place at the right time, it was a small part of a bigger picture,” said Aviation Ordnanceman 1st Class Joshua Hitcho, from New Zionsville, Pennsylvania, assigned to Ford’s weapons department.
USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN-78) is the lead ship of her class of United States Navy aircraft carriers. The ship is named after the 38th President of the United States, Gerald Ford, whose World War II naval service included combat duty aboard the light aircraft carrier Monterey in the Pacific Theater. Construction began on 11 August 2005, when Northrop Grumman held a ceremonial steel cut for a 15-ton plate that forms part of a side shell unit of the carrier. The keel of Gerald R. Ford was laid down on 13 November 2009. The Navy announced that the carrier will sail on her first deployment sometime during 2022. As of 2017, she is the world’s largest aircraft carrier, and the largest warship ever constructed in terms of displacement.

Study links obesity to fibromyalgia
The number of chiropractic patients diagnosed by medical doctors as having “fibromyalgia” is increasing rapidly, as are the number of patients suffering from the effects of obesity.
A study in The Journal of Pain has found that the two increases aren’t coincidental but there is actually a close association between obesity and disability in fibromyalgia patients.
Afflicting nearly five percent of the US population (mostly women), fibromyalgia is characterized by widespread pain and range of function problems. The purpose of the study, conducted by University of Utah researchers, was to evaluate the relationship between fibromyalgia and obesity. They hypothesized the obesity significantly adds to the disease and disability burden of the condition.
The study evaluated 215 fibromyalgia patients and gave them several physical tests to measure strength, flexibility, range of motion, and strength. Heart rates and sleep quality also were assessed.
The authors reported that consistent with previous studies, obesity is common among those with fibromyalgia. Half the study sample was obese and another 30% were overweight.
Also consistent with previous findings, obese patients in this study showed increase pain sensitivity, which was more pronounced in lower body areas. The obese patients also had impaired flexibility in the lower body and reduced strength.
The study concluded that obesity is a common co-morbidity of fibromyalgia that may compromise clinical outcomes. The adverse impact of obesity is evidenced by hyperalgesia, disability, impaired quality of life and sleep problems. The authors also noted that recent evidence suggests weight loss improves fibromyalgia symptoms, perhaps resulting from patients adopting healthier lifestyles and taking more positive attitudes toward symptom management and overall quality of life.

Malware targeting the Android platform is exploding, with a 600 percent increase in just the past 12 months.
That statistic is among the findings of a new study–Mobile Security Threat Report–unveiled last week at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain. The report, prepared by security firm Sophos, “shows that the mobile revolution is clearly in effect, and as a result, mobile malware is on the rise,” notes an article at Silicon Republic.
Among the findings in the study:
• Smartphone subscriptions are expected to top 7 billion by the end of this year, which would put more smartphones than humans on the planet.
• Nearly 1 billion of those devices will be Androids, and cyber criminals are targeting them at an increasing rate.
“In the past 12 months, researchers at SophosLabs have seen an alarming acceleration in the development of mobile malware,” the article reports. “In that time, Android malware has increased by nearly 600 percent to a total of more than 650,000 individual pieces of malware.”
The report also shows that in some countries–notably Russia, Austria and Sweden–the percentage of mobile devices that have been the subject of malware attacks has outpaced the rate of PC attacks.
In addition to the increase in malware threats against Android devices, Sophos also reports “a sharp rise in applications that, while not malware strictly speaking, pose a threat to user security and privacy, and the usability of the device. The potentially unwanted apps, or PUAs, include apps that link to aggressive advertising networks, can track devices and locations, and even capture content data.”
Hackers get better, while security falls farther behind, says Verizon

Highlights from Issues & Ale: The Affordable Care Act
Earlier this week we hosted an Issues & Ale event on the Affordable Care Act, and almost 150 people attended.
For everyone who was not able to attend, here are some of the main takeaways from the panel discussion with Marianne Udow-Phillips, the Director of the Center for Healthcare Research & Transformation, Don Hazaert, the Director of Michigan Consumers for Healthcare, and Melissa Anders, a statewide business reporter with the MLive media group in Lansing.
What should people understand about the Affordable Care Act?
People should understand first of all that the Affordable Care Act is not a website, nor is it a "catchall for everyone's anxieties about health care," according to Hazaert, as many people have concerns about health care that have nothing to do with the Affordable Care Act. It is a law.
“This law is a law that is, in some ways, an incremental change to health care. It’s building on the existing non-system,” said Udow-Phillips. “We have a complicated and convoluted current system of health care, the law doesn’t fix that.”
Instead, it is designed to fill in the gaps, not fix it. Under the Affordable Care Act, more people will get coverage, but there will be people who end up paying more.
Also, do not wait until the website is fixed to start thinking about health care.
“There’s lots of information out there right now to help you understand what your choices are,” said Anders. “You actually can go on the website . . . and click on a link that will show you what the plans are in Washtenaw County, or wherever you’re from, and will tell you what the prices are and what you might be eligible for.”
The health plans themselves also have good websites that allow you to compare information.
Can you keep your current health care if you like it?
There has been a lot of confusion over this. Ultimately, it is up to your state insurance commissioner to decide how to implement the policy change. In Michigan, we are still waiting to hear back from our state insurance commissioner about this.
It is also up to the insurance companies. So even if the commissioner approves, individual insurance companies can still decide whether or not to extend their plans.
People on Medicare will see no change under the Affordable Care Act. Employer plans will also stay mostly the same.
The big changes will be in the individual market.
“People are paying an enormous amount right now for very bad coverage, and people are very unhappy,” said Udow-Phillips. “We did a survey last year of citizens in Michigan, and people who had coverage that they bought themselves through the individual market, 44% of them said they were happy with their coverage.”
That is lower than people with any other type of health care. Under the Affordable Care Act, more people in the individual market will get better coverage for less.
Who still won't be covered?
Undocumented immigrants will not be receiving any coverage under this law. In fact, they were purposely excluded.
Additionally, people who are exempt from penalties may not have insurance, or people may choose to pay the penalties rather than get insurance.
There are a number of other circumstances which allow for exemptions. People who cannot afford insurance, people in prison, and people who cannot have health care due to their religious beliefs will be eligible for waivers.

Quake 4 is one of the latest new games to be added to our benchmark suite. It is based off the popular Doom 3 engine and as a result uses many of the features seen in Doom. However, Quake 4 graphics are more intensive than Doom 3 and should put more strain on different parts of the system.
Moving into the gaming portion of our testing, we are starting off with Quake 4. During our test phase, all details of the game were maxed to put as much strain on the video board as possible. Since my first goal was to see just how many frames these boards could put out with maximum detail quality, I ended up getting an eyeful with the performance and quality that was put out.
The results above were more in line with what I was expecting when comparing two X1900 series boards. The results at both 1024 and 1280 resolutions were nearly the same, but the XTX board managed to put forth an extra 2% at the higher 1600 resolution.
When testing AA/AF performance, I chose the 1600x1200 resolution with the details still set to their maximum levels. The GeCube board still managed to put out 85.4FPS at 6xAA/16xAF, but this equates to a hefty 40% drop in frames. Still, given the in-game frame cap, it won't make a lot of difference in actual game play, and the eye candy was simply amazing.

ISSUES IN New DEMOCRACY
ISSUES IN New DEMOCRACY
In its primary structure, the phrase democracy was intended to provide the implication of overall fairness, unquestionable justice, and finish evenhandedness in distribution of societal assets. Democracy arrived as well as independence of expression and worship. Even though the preliminary definition of democracy was intended to generate a no cost political atmosphere for all, this definition have been eroded above time. Modern-day democracy has variants and various relegations from democratic beliefs. Plenty of governments that assert to get democratic considerably have interaction in corruption and deny citizens working out of elementary human legal rights. To this finish, it could be inappropriate to imagine that current democracy would be the most useful. Nevertheless, as Winston Churchill places it, “all one other forms…have been tried using from time and energy to time” and none appears to match democracy in fairness.
The very first primary predicament of recent democracy is considered the usage of quantities in decision-making. Rules of recent democracy are established in like a means that each time there’s a dispute, then voting needs to get location. Elective procedures or other voting mandates are done subsequent to pretty very long durations of marketing campaign.buy reseach essay Its well worth noting that political strategies are characterised by social evils like corruption and character assassination. Around the latter, opponents of assorted candidates formulate theoretical ills from these candidates then distribute them to your general public. It is actually apparent that character judged by these kinds of a course of action is defective. On other finishes, prosperous candidates bribe voters and important consumers in many different establishments. This sort of establishments can include electoral commissions and faculties. When this takes place, the establishments forgo the essence of democracy and easily announce their desired prospect as being the winner of elections. Even in instances exactly where elections are performed, ethnicity, race, and faith however have an effect on how persons vote. As a result, elections within a modern day democracy are close to in no way cost-free and honest.
While elections in cutting-edge democracy keep on to stay unfair, other establishments of justice also drop prey to corruption and various social evils. In producing nations, nominative powers commonly relaxation with political lords. In many instances, appoints individuals to positions like people on the main justice, prosecutor, lawyer normal, and judges. It really is ironical for regular people to be expecting that a main justice could make a ruling in opposition to the exact same human being who appoints them for their placement. Similarly, nearly all of like constitutions location the president higher than the legislation. In these kinds of a circumstance, the president can not be prosecuted and isn’t topic to lawful proceedings. It is usually due to this explanation that opposition get-togethers in this kind of nations around the world keep on being oppressed through time. Most often, self-belief inside of the process of justice is decreased and lots of people today prefer to keep while not having their disputes to your courts.
Although other varieties of presidency are even worse than democracy, present day democracy has the majority of challenges that should be addressed. Although the bulk will need to get inside of a contest, like victory isn’t going to provide them with authority to remove the legal rights belonging to the minority. On the exact time, methods with corrupt establishments need to be eradicated to gain the correct beliefs of democracy. For these beliefs to generally be recognized, states should follow devolution and overall fairness in distributing nationwide means. In any other case, the concept of genuine democracy will stay a aspiration whilst cutting-edge democracy continues to be oppressive.

Here’s where to find the best back-to-school deals
If you are hunting for back-to-school bargains, deal experts say you’ll find the best prices this season at big box stores.
Brent Shelton, a spokesman for FatWallet.com, an online deal and coupon website, said larger retailers and websites like Office Depot, Kohl’s and Amazon have traditionally offered the best savings on back-to-school supplies and clothing.
“August is prime time for back-to-school shopping,” Shelton said. “This is when retailers are ‘all in’ and competing for your business.”
Benjamin Glaser, an editor with DealNews.com, said he expects Target and Walmart to offer some of the best prices this fall.
For those in need of school supplies, Glaser said Target is a one-stop shop for deals. If you are looking for clothing and backpacks, Walmart may have slightly better prices, Glaser said.
Shelton recommends shoppers keep a close eye on sales advertisements, but he says if you miss a deal, “don’t fret.” Stores will be offering back-to-school discounts through mid-August, he said.

Truman’s Nuclear Dilemma
Updated: Sep 13, 2020
President Truman's decision to use atomic weapons proved to be one of the most controversial decisions in American history. the years have passed, the controversy has intensified. Many people have condemned both President Truman and America for that decision.
It was only the dropping of atom bombs that allowed the emperor and the so-called peace faction in the Japanese government to negotiate an end to the war. As hard as it may be to accept, Japanese loss would have been far greater without the bombs.
Seeing the absolute devastation and carnage that the atomic bomb was capable of in a real war environment with real people was the cruel lesson that the earth needed to learn, from the sheer horror that we witnessed that day. As a species we understood exactly what a weapon of that caliber is capable of, thus we haven't dropped one since.
If America hadn't nuked Japan, then the cold war would've likely been the end of the world.
It was a horrific tragedy, but, it was an important lesson. The result of suffering is experience. The further removed you are from history, the easier it is to judge. Truman had three choices. First, invade Japan at the cost of Allied and several million Japanese lives. Second, blockade Japan, and continue heavy aerial bombardment, and literally starve millions of Japanese to death, and prolong the war another year or two. Third, drop the bombs and finally end the war quickly.
Truman's use of the bomb should be seen as him choosing the least awful of the options available to him. Given the alternatives, what would any moral person have done in Truman's position?
Truman is like the modern-day Hamlet. In Truman’s case, his devil was the responsibility he had. He faced one of the greatest dilemmas a man can face.
President Truman's decision to use atomic weapons proved to be one of the most controversial decisions in American history. As the years have passed, the controversy has intensified. Many people have condemned both President Truman and America for that decision.
