While there are still claims Jimmy Garoppolo stays with the 49ers this season, backup quarterback Nate Sudfeld’s contract suggests otherwise.
The San Francisco 49ers aren’t going to keep quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo for all of the upcoming 2022 season. They likely won’t even have him on the roster in Week 1.
By now, you’ve probably been fully inundated with all kinds of talk about the veteran’s future, especially whether or not the Niners actually move the quarterback or decide to keep him in one way or another:
- San Francisco keeps him because he’s far more experienced than Trey Lance
- San Francisco boots him because it’s now fully committed to Lance
There are going to be arguments in either direction, and that’s fine.
However, as more than a few Hollywood movies and series have stated, “follow the money.” And in this case, let’s look not at Garoppolo’s contract outright, per se, rather the one the 49ers dished out to the current No. 3 quarterback on their depth chart behind Garoppolo and Lance, Nate Sudfeld.
Nate Sudfeld’s contract suggests 49ers won’t pay Jimmy Garoppolo, too
Earlier this offseason, as ESPN’s Adam Schefter’s above tweet reported, the Niners dished out a one-year, fully guaranteed $2 million contract, and that data was corroborated by Spotrac.com:
That’s an exceptionally huge amount of money to be paid to a third-string quarterback, especially when one factors in San Francisco would be on the hook for all $2 million of it if Sudfeld ended up not making the 53-man roster this season.
Third-string quarterbacks rarely carry anything in guaranteed money, and the amount is minimal if it’s there at all.
$2 million guaranteed is, well… a guarantee Sudfeld will be on the roster.
But the 49ers can keep Jimmy Garoppolo, Trey Lance and Nate Sudfeld, right?
If you’re in the camp that thinks, “So what? It’s not my money” with regards to the three contracts dished out to Garoppolo, Lance and Sudfeld, that’s perfectly OK.
And, yes, the 49ers could retain Sudfeld in a QB3 role behind Garoppolo and Lance this season. In theory, at least, and the Niners have publicly stated they’ve worked out a scenario, financially, where Garoppolo is on the roster for all of 2022.
Whether or not that’d be at a reduced cap hit below his scheduled $26.95 million is anyone’s guess. Yet the kicker isn’t Garoppolo’s contract itself, per se, rather retaining Sudfeld on the 53-man roster in a third-string role at that hefty price tag.
If San Francisco goes that route, it’s not exactly the best use of financial resources. Especially in light of soon-to-be hefty contract extensions for star players like wide receiver Deebo Samuel and EDGE Nick Bosa, both of whom will require the 49ers to free up as much cash as possible.
With $2 million already committed fully to Sudfeld, another sign is pointing towards Garoppolo and his contract being cleared from the Niners’ accounts payable team.

1. Warsaw: Treblinka and Tykocin Day Tour
You will be picked up by your guide from the hotel, and following a 1.5-hour ride you will arrive to Treblinka. Visit the site with a beautiful memorial commemorating hundreds of thousands of victims that passed through the camp, as your guide provides you with historic context to help you understand the events that took place there between 1942 and 1943. The next stop will be in Tykocin, where you will have free time to enjoy lunch in one of traditional restaurants recommended by the guide, and to stroll through this picturesque place. The must-see attractions in Tykocin are its beautiful synagogue and castle. The synagogue was built in the 17th century, before being decorated iinside in the 18th century. You can admire the inscriptions on the walls in Hebrew and Aramaic, and can also admire its beautifully decorated bima. It's a perfect place to discover the rich heritage of the Jewish community that lived for centuries in the east of Poland, which used to be a religious and ethnic melting pot. Another interesting place in Tykocin is its modest museum organized by its people in one of the oldest wooden houses. It exhibits a typical interior of a Polish house in the countryside until the mid 1990s. On the other bank of the Narew River you will discover the castle. The version of the castle you are able to visit today is a faithful reconstruction of Tykocin's castle, which in the 16th century was the main residence of one of the Polish kings. During the visit you will discover different weapons and armor used by Polish knights, and can discover the king's secrets. Following your visit to the castle, the guide will bring you back to Warsaw.

As with most catastrophic injuries, adjustment to life after an amputation can cause a significant increase in stress among the family and caregivers.
If the amputation was the result of a traumatic accident (unscheduled), the injured individual and the family members experience an enormous sense of shock. The grief for the lost limb that is experienced by the injured person may also be experienced by family members and caregivers.
With scheduled amputations—ones that result from chronic illness such as diabetes— individuals and family members typically have time to adjust to the idea of an amputation. However, the resulting functional limitations may still require quite a bit of adjustment.
While functional levels and intimacy issues often require short-term resolution, changes brought about by aging can arise later.
Depending on the site and the number of limbs, there is a great deal of variation of functional levels.
With single amputations, impairments might be overcome with a prosthetic device. While using a prosthetic device takes training and patience, eventually the individual is able to lead a very active and healthy life.
With double amputations, functional limitations may be more significant. A double below or above knee amputation may require the use of a wheelchair, which limits independent mobility. Like spinal cord injury, caregivers of individuals with an amputation may be required to assist with Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) and mobility. The stress of assisting with dressing, grooming, feeding, and bathing can be burdensome, especially as you learn the routine. With time, the daily routine becomes more manageable and you should find your stress decreasing.
As an individual with an amputation ages, it is important that they address conservation of energy issues. This may mean that they have less stamina to perform household chores. This can result in added pressure on the family or caregiver to perform these duties.
Concern for safety may increase as the individual with a lower extremity (LE) amputation ages. There may be discussion about a home health attendant, or additional mobility equipment may be needed to ensure their safety. This is a stressful process and these decisions must be made on an individual basis, considering the wishes of the individual as well as the capabilities of the family support system.
There will be issues of intimacy and sexuality to be addressed. Loss of a limb may result in loss of self-esteem, self-consciousness, or feelings of being unattractive. In addition, the functional loss of one or both upper extremities may present a challenge to sexual activity.
Discussing these concerns with a professional counselor, preferably a therapist with training in this area, may be the most effective way to overcome these issues. Unfortunately, many individuals don't feel comfortable doing so, and a deterioration of the marital relationship may result. Remember, this is a common problem for individuals with amputations and there is assistance available to you.
As with spinal cord and brain injuries, an excellent source of support and information is a local Amputee support group. Attending these groups, with the amputee or alone, can be a great way to meet other people coping with these same issues. Often, the support group members have sought help from community resources, and will be able to refer you to individuals they found helpful.

Bourdain Planned Suicide A Month Before!? Took Part In A Death Ritual Onscreen!?
A days after he committed suicide, it was found that Anthony Bourdain was preparing himself to commit suicide not days but a month ago. Here's what the shocking pieces of evidence disclose about his tragic death. Read more to know the further story.
Bourdain committed suicide due to his girlfriend!?
Bourdain, who was known to be a traveler and chef has still growing fan base around the world for his superb work, so far. He was a good Public figure. The world was left shocked after his suicide news started doing rounds.
Was his girlfriend responsible for his suicide?
It was found that the couple had a relation trouble, as it was witnessed both were spending their vacations separately. She was seen spending time in Rome with a French Reporter. The actress was also caught in the pictures holding hands and hugging the Reporter. The pictures were pulled later after his suicide.
Could the reason of suicide be her affair with the French reporter?
It was found that the possible reason for committing suicide could be his girlfriend’s alleged affair with a French reporter with whom she was busy spending vacation in Rome. She even had posted an Instagram story which described her hatred for someone. Was it for Bourdain!!?
Now, shocking reports have emerged on his death!
A shocking report has emerged regarding his suicide. It was reported that he planned his suicide after battling depression. But, questions arose, when and what made him plan his suicide? What was his mindset before carrying out this act? Well, he planned his suicide a month ago. Yes, you read that right!!
Here’s How he started planning his suicide!
He spoke about his own mortality and even participated in an ancient death ritual – in the season finale of his CNN show called as “Parts Unknown”. The episode is aired a two weeks after his suicide. It is evident from the episode that there was negative running over his mind.
On his last day of shooting, he performed Bhutanese death act!
On his last day of shooting he along with his team performed Bhutanese death rituals. This concludes that it was due to this episode that he started getting surrounded by the negative things.
Here’s what his friend said about the episode
After recalling the episode, his friend who was his partner to perform Bhutanese death rituals said,“It is considered enlightening and therapeutic to think about death for a few minutes a day,” he narrates over a shot of breathtaking mountain ranges. “It seems ironic now that on our last day of shooting we performed a Bhutanese death ritual,” Aronofsky wrote. “We debated the fate of the country, the fate of the world. He was perplexed as to how mankind’s endless hunger to consume could be curtailed.”

Even if you’re just starting to plan your wedding, you probably have some idea of how much you’ll spend on big ticket items like the venue or your dress. But your music spending? That might be a little murkier. Olivia Simpson spoke to some of Scotland’s top wedding performers and asked them to break down their prices and packages
“My prices – £220 at the weekend and £175 midweek – include piping as the guests arrive, the couple’s entrance to the top table, the cake cutting, and my travel,” says Scott.
“Our fee would usually be £1,500,” says Mhairi Marwick from the band. “This is inclusive of a four-piece ceilidh band/DJ, accommodation, full PA/lights hire and insurance. Travel is largely covered, but longer distances may require further costs. The band consists of pipes/whistle, fiddle, guitar and drums, with an experienced caller who will make sure everyone knows what they are doing for the dances. Typically, we class an evening as 8pm – midnight.
“A bagpiper and a duo (usually fiddle and guitar) can be added onto our package to play at different stages of the day. We require a deposit of 25% of the total cost to secure the booking and the final balance is due one month before the wedding date.”
“Our most popular package is our ceremony and drinks reception package, where we play from guests being seated for the ceremony through to the call to dinner,” says Amarone’s Siobhán Daly. “This includes three musicians (although a fourth can be added) and any special requests that aren’t already on our extensive song list. We take a £100 payment to secure the date, and the balance is due 28 days before the wedding. Prices start at £495 for our ceremony-only package, and may be subject to travel expenses depending on the location.”
Sam MacAdam Harpist
“I offer packages for throughout the day,” explains Sam. “These are priced at £290 for ceremony or drinks reception only; £390 for ceremony and drinks reception; £515 to play for ceremony, drinks and dinner. I would also charge additional travel costs. My ceremony performances start when guests take their seats and end when you leave as a married couple and can include all your own song choices, which don’t have to be from my song list.”
“Instead of offering packages, I work with couples to create options that best suit them,” enthuses Craig. “I love taking requests and playing tunes that are special to the couple. If I don’t know them already, I’ll happily learn them as long as there’s enough notice (I never charge more for this). I ask for a £50 deposit to secure the booking, with the balance due 14 days before the wedding.”

Concrete and Wild Carrot by Margaret Avison
Reviewed by Melanie Brannagan (Prairie Fire Review of Books, Vol. 12, No. 1 (2012))
With Concrete and Wild Carrot, Margaret Avison justly solidifies her reputation as one of Canada’s premier poets. These poems walk the fine edges between daring and comfort and between questioning and certainty: “(What would our choice have been / if we had understood?)” she asks, referring to Adam and Eve’s fall from divine favour (60). She encapsulates the paradox of the Biblical story with grace and humility: “Drawn to disobey / they awoke to shame—and God- // like comprehension of pain, / of broken as well as good” (60). Though they have transgressed, Adam and Eve’s transgression yields not only the possibility of redemption, which she acknowledges at the close of “Leading Questions,” but also an immediate comprehension of good. She rewrites the myth of the fall by focusing on God’s sadness rather than his anger: “At evening, now forsaken / by our choice, was that to Him / as since to us, heartbreaking?” she asks (60). Her questions, posed with humility, precede a meditation of wonder rather than criticism. She marvels at God, who “taught the Jews to weave / rich fabrics for the abode / He would live in / [….] / and long since He has promised to prepare / us for the robe He hopes His guests that Day will wear” (60-1). Even while she wonders at God’s generosity, she implicitly notes His hubris. He teaches the Jews to weave fabrics not for their own purposes but for His. Her critique, though, is subtle, and her poems balanced.
The religious themes that Avison explores bear a unique relevance on her life. She likens her meditations on the entombment of Christ to a lifeline (62). Her poetic persona’s life is based on and around her religious beliefs. If, because of my own discomfort with and distrust of organized religion, I found the pervasiveness of Avison’s faith overpowering at times, I was struck by the joy she took in creation: “The perfection of / created Being, in the perfect / morning was born from the walker-by-the-sea’s / imagination” (71).
Avison boldly and gracefully takes on what she sees as the degeneration of society. In “Alternative to Riots but All Citizens Must Play,” she laments that the world has “imprisoned” (77) individuals’ “skills and / achievements” (77), robbing humanity of what she considers its foundation: “We turn into a monstrous / sameness, a jumble / within one skin, / a skin pulled taut / until it hurts / the whole ungeographical world of us” (78), she says in response to the technological innovation that reduces society to an undifferentiated mass. Avison’s religious and philosophical meditations are overplayed by a complementary awareness of her surroundings: “we / also shall say goodbye to / trees and cherished friends and / sunsets and crunching snow” she writes (72). The concreteness with which Avison is able to imagine and inhabit space make her meditations more accessible. Her inner landscapes are inhabited by “lanes and mews”(55) through which the city manifests its life. In “Lament for the Byways” she mourns the occlusion of the city’s former familiarity by “handsome new high-rises” (55), concluding that these improvements serve only to stifle the source of Toronto’s life.
Her Toronto is characterized by a community that stretches through time. The collection is not only filled with poems memorializing friends who have died, which themselves create an imagined community, but it also contains poems that fuse the past and the present. In “Pacing the Turn of the Year,” the first poem in the collection, Avison links a contemporary August day with the day World War II ended in Europe. She shifts between the two historical periods with a nearly seamless grace:
… everybody, on bikes
or park benches or
the city buses, dazed,
wended their way anywhere
on the odd quiet morning
the European War was
somehow ended [.] (7-8)
The shift in tense allows Avison to meditate on the ephemeral nature of celebration. At the close of World War II, “nobody/ felt like cavorting, singing, / dancing, as their parents, 1918, / in November, had” (8), and contemporary celebrants “toss their curls and / rollerblade past” the question of whether this “new is going to last” (8). Far from criticizing contemporary youth for celebrating without contemplation, Avison suggests that the very ritual of celebration is about discovery. Rather, she seems to lament that “Part of a celebration / is to discover / […] how / painful hope can be” (9). Avison’s engagement with the present retrospectively adds a dimension of mourning to her poems. However, the tone of mourning in Avison’s poems is balanced by exuberant depictions of remembered wonder. Her memory of her response to discovering that only water could make colourful pictures appear in “Present from Ted” is one such example: “‘Behold!’ / my whole being sang out, for ‘see’ / would not have been adequate” (10). The wisdom in Concrete and Wild Carrot lies in the grace with which Avison negotiates this balance between mourning and wonder throughout the book.

What to consider when shopping for the best warm winter sheets
With the many types of sheet options out there—from percale and flannel to silk, bamboo, and sooo much more—it can feel a little overwhelming trying to figure out kind of fabric is the most suitable for you. One way to narrow down the options is to consider the type of sleeping environment you’d like to create. For example, if you want your bed to be super warm this winter, look for sheets made from fibers that retain heat, so anything made from cotton, fleece, wool, cashmere, and even silk would be ideal.
The thread count
First things first: A sheet set’s thread count isn’t the end-all-be-all or only tell-tale sign of its quality (there are a lot of other factors to consider, like how it’s weaved and the type of fibers used). However, when it comes to shopping for extra cozy winter sheets, paying attention to the thread count could let you know if the sheets are actually warm enough for your needs. Because, typically, the higher the thread count, the heavier—and, therefore, warmer—the sheets are. This is because if there are more threads of yarn per square inch, then the fabric is denser, meaning there’s less air flow (and less of a chance to feel a cold draft in the middle of the night). So if you’re after something warm, any sheet set with a thread count of 250 or higher would be a good option. And for my peeps who like their bed extra toasty, look for sheets with a thread count of 400 or higher, as these sheets will be extra dense and have a bit of weight to them that’ll feel especially cozy.

HealthDay News — Anxiety levels are associated with bone mineral density (BMD) and fracture risk in the lumbar spine and femoral neck among postmenopausal women, according to a study published online May 7 in Menopause.
Antonino Catalano, MD, PhD, from the University Hospital of Messina in Italy, and colleagues recruited 192 women to examine the role of severity of anxiety in bone health. Postmenopausal women referred for osteoporosis underwent assessment for the Fracture Risk Assessment Tool score and BMD at the lumbar spine and femoral neck; the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAMA) scores, Beck Depression Inventory scores, and the 36-Item Short Form Health Survey scores were determined for evaluation of quality of life.
The researchers found that the probability of fracture was lower for participants allocated to the tertile of the lowest HAMA scores versus the tertile of highest scores (HAMA-1 vs HAMA-3); the same trend was seen when comparing the HAMA-2 and HAMA-3 tertiles. Compared with women in the HAMA-1 group, those in the HAMA-3 group had lower lumbar T-score values in the lumbar spine; lower T-score values were seen in HAMA-3 versus HAMA-2. In HAMA-3 versus HAMA-1, the prevalence rate of vertebral fractures was higher, but the difference was not significant. There was a significant correlation for anxiety levels with age, menopausal age, years since menopause, and depressive symptoms; multiple regression analysis predicted reduced BMD in the lumbar spine.
“Physicians should consider fracture risk assessment in postmenopausal women with anxiety,” the authors write.

Rejection Is God’s Protection
“Rejection is God’s protection.” My kids heard this from me a few too many times when they were adolescents navigating high school and their early college years. The fact that I said it, or thought it, so often didn’t mean that I lacked compassion for their situation. It was just so vivid to me from where I stood, that God was indeed protecting them. I still believe that today. When I look at my own past I see all the ways God’s protective hand guided me away from certain people and things, often through painful rejection, to the better things he had for me.
Today’s verse also speaks of a painful rejection, the rejection that our Lord Jesus Christ suffered from his own people: “The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone. This is the Lords doing; it is marvelous in our eyes.” Psalm 118:22-23.
How does rejection become marvelous in anyone's eyes? The answer is because in this instance, Rejection is God's inclusion!
Because the Jews rejected Jesus, his message of salvation came to the Gentiles (you and me). But hear me, our inclusion is not a consolation prize because those he really wanted rejected him. No, he planned to include us all along but he chose to do so in a way that would highlight our being chosen by setting it against the backdrop of their rejection. For proof, look again at Psalm 118: 23: “This is the Lord’s doing…” To do something is to bring it to pass, to carry it out, to make it happen. In these verses God was doingsomething profound. He was using the rejection of his chosen people to make a way for all, regardless of race or status, to be saved.
Understanding my being chosen in this context evokes a deep sense of awe and gratitude. But it is also meant to move me to action. I am meant to carry this message, to share this gift. I am meant to include others into the family of God. As we bring this Christmas week to a close, with our thoughts moving towards all the things we need to do, take down the tree, finalize New Years plans, clean out the refrigerator, return gifts, put our houses back in order, the list goes on and on… let us not neglect the most important thing.
My prayer for myself, and for you, is that God would open our eyes to see who desperately needs to be included, who needs an invitation in, and how can I be the one to extend the invitation?

Links : Gallery Making Garden Sculptures
David Emery has been a serious amateur potter for the best part of forty years. He had a semi formal training at an Art School in London following this he set up a studio with 4 other potters in a basement of a shop in Putney. Where he designed and built the pottery wheels and managed to get a second hand kiln weighing over a ton into the basement. He initially worked with domestic stoneware selling in exhibitions and craft fairs. But also developed an interest in intricate reduction fired porcelain bowls and carved boxes.
On moving to Dorset nearly 25 years ago with his young family he designed and built a large gas fired reduction kiln where he gained his greatest pleasure from highly decorated vases up to several feet high and large bowls decorated with coloured slips covered with a transparent glaze.
The rapidly rising cost of fuel and also becoming fed up with carting heavy gas cylinders of gas through the mud to the bottom of his garden prompted a complete change of direction back to oxidation firing using on-glaze decoration. This technique can produce both much more delicate brushwork as well as more intense colours.
He has spent the last year he has turned his pottery into something more resembling a chemistry laboratory to develop a combination of Cone 6 oxidation glazes and on-glaze colours. Cone 6 is at the lower end of the stoneware firing range and is not exploited by many potters who still prefer to fire to higher temperatures. However, at cone 6 the clay is fully vitrified and just as durable but most importantly requires significantly less electricity to fire and the kiln elements last much longer. He has been using very well insulated kiln which combined with output from the solar panels on his roof dramatically reduces firing costs as well as being very environmental friendly.
David still wants to keep his hand in throwing very large reduction ware so he is part of the Dorset Pottery Group team building a large wood fired kiln. One of David’s other activities is running a biodiversity group in his village which among other things is actively involved in restoring hedgerows. In a rather convenient symmetry the considerable number of dead elms that the group are removing will provide the fuel for the DPG kiln.

Louisville was considered the front-runner to land Ware before he was even given a release from Tennessee. He made a visit to Orlando on Saturday, so I suppose UCF head coach Donnie Jones told him everything he needed to hear. Pitino made a visit to Ware’s home in Atlanta yesterday afternoon. Just 24 hours after the two had met for the first time, Ware gave Donnie Jones a committment.
The departure of Tim Fuller may have a bigger impact than we would like to believe.<

On Saturday I, along with over 500 other people, attended a talk on Minimalism or Simple Living. We are constantly being sold the idea that endless consumption and economic growth are the only way to attain ‘the good life’. So it is refreshing to attend a talk aimed at getting people to really look at what it is that adds value to our life – more and more stuff or is it good health, better relationships, and a chance to make a meaningful contribution to your community while doing something you are passionate about?
If you didn’t have a chance to attend the following TED talk is worth watching:
Given the fact that we live on a finite world, the minimalist movement has a lot to offer as a way to creating strategies, policies and actions that will enable us to live within the limits of our planet. Also something that world leaders at G20 summit could take heed of!

The most popular workshop on ‘pruning fruit and nut trees’ had 100 people in attendance showing that there is strong interest in the wider community in growing our own food. Other workshops, in order of popularity, run by the group were ‘growing vegetables from seed’, ‘growing perennial vegetables and plant propagation’, ‘growing in raised garden beds, vertical gardens and in pots’ and ‘organic pest control’.
Their final workshop for the year will be on ‘Growing Bush Foods in your vegetable garden’. The workshop will be given by Steven Hoepfner – an experienced gardener and avid grower (and consumer) of bush foods. Including Bush foods in the vegetable garden is ideal, especially if using plants from native to South Australia, as they are already adapted to the conditions and require less water and are often highly nutritious.

For more details of the workshop see our events page. If you’d like to attend the workshop please RSVP by email to Peter Croft.
On Thursday 23 October 2014, Sustainable Communities SA held a members night at the Box Factory Community Centre.
We started with a presentation by Sharon Ede about the interactive website she and others have developed called Share and Save: ShareNSave.com.au This site aims ‘to provide the information and links to assist South Australians to find and share services, resources and events in their local community to help with the cost of living and improve neighbourhood networks’.

“To be born again, first you have to die. What has died, when this happens? The sense of what you are. The collected life experience, the personality, the ideas about things. Emotions. The contents of your head, in a big-picture kind of way, but also in the momentary way, in the form of a passing thought, come from nowhere and gone back into it. Values. All that felt like what you really were — what I really was — comes to feel insubstantial.”
~Jan Frazier, Being Born Again
Insubstantial is a good description. I’m inclined to also say transparent or unreal. And yes, all that stuff dies. Dissolves. Including – it seems to me, emotions. There is still feeling, but it seems there is a difference between visceral, raw, physical sensation/feeling and emotion. (Emotion comes after.)
What is perhaps most prominent here these days is a sort of commitment to disbelief. Or perhaps it would be more accurate to say unbelief. There is no longer belief that what is thought, seen (as images in the head), or even necessarily felt (as emotions and even sensations in the body), is real. Or is what “I” really am. This lack of belief wrecks havoc with the mind, but all the stuff associated with belief, well, it becomes so insubstantial as to (easily) be unbelievable. What a paradox it seems to be!
So when there is a sense of an *I* – for example, “this body feels very real” – that belief (in this sense of an *I* or that “this body IS real”) isn’t believed. The mind can argue this until the cows come home. And will say, “Oh, but it IS real” – or change its tune just a wee bit and say, “Yes, of course, I understand that the body isn’t really real, but it is certainly relatively real,” and go on to try to say, “I can see it, feel it, it gets sick, etc.” and maybe even explain how one has to live in this world and so of course the form (this body) is relatively real. (And I would never argue with someone who was making these statements. But if they seemed genuinely curious about that feeling of relative reality, I might point them to some form of inquiry.)
Because, here’s the deal: relatively real isn’t real. Is a wave in the ocean real? As in a separate thing from the ocean itself? No. There is just ocean, “manifesting” as a wave here, “another” wave here. So yes, OK, we could say the wave is ‘real’ – but it isn’t real relative to the ocean. It IS the ocean. There can not be “relative to” when there is only one.
Can you imagine a world without time? Try to imagine that what we’ve always imagined to have happened in the past and projected as likely to happen in the future are not linear and separate ‘events’. The mind can’t conceive of it. But this is how it is. There is always, only, ever NOW. And even in the nanosecond that appears (to the human mind) to “follow” this moment, it (the moment that was NOW) is already a memory. It no longer exists, NOW. And it surely isn’t “real” in the past, because the past exists only in the mind. And the mind cannot, will not, can never, comprehend the present moment. It can only comprehend (create) the past and imagine a future (which is based on its ideas of the past). And the present moment isn’t relative to anything. It stands alone, eternal, infinite, unaffected and unblemished by anything ‘else’ (because there is nothing ‘else’). This moment is all there is, silent and unmoving, even as all that appears (to be separate, i.e., the ocean’s waves) dances within it. It’s all just energy, streaming. Waves waving. Physicists tell us that a hard table top really isn’t (even) solid. Feels solid. Isn’t. More space than matter. And matter, well, is it a wave or a particle? Apparently that depends on whether its being observed or not.
The mind can be very helpful leading us up to the edge of disbelief, but it can never cease believing. There comes a moment when it can’t lead anymore, can’t take us (itself) any farther, and that’s when it grows silent (though it might bitch and moan a lot before it shuts up). When it grows silent – truly silent – then, well, it no longer exists. It’s not like the mind is still there (somewhere, where?) sitting silent, watching. It ceases to be. (It never was, but what with all the noise it makes and human cultural conditioning that strongly suggests – some might say “commands” that we listen to it – we’re all pretty hard-pressed to not believe it exists. The mind and all its stories seem very real.)
But when it grows silent, then all sense/feeling of being an individual, separate self (body/mind organism) dissolves. All that stuff – a sense of separation, of the body being real – is generated by the mind. Waves cease to rise in what is seen to be ocean. What has seemed so real, so believable, is seen/known/understood (but not by the mind) to be illusory. There are no waves, there is only ocean. So everything, including the body is just (ha! … just!) energy. Doing what energy appears to be doing: manifesting as a ‘solid’ tabletop or a human being (who perceives table tops as solid), as a bird, a pile of horse manure, flies drawn to said shit. The sun, moon, stars and all that apparent spaciousness between them. All just energy. Streaming.
Death is like passing gas. One moment there is discomfort (perhaps extreme), the next: relief. It’s really that simple (whether it be death of the ego or the body). But it’s useful to let the mind keep leading us to that proverbial edge and to continue to question beliefs as they are noticed. All of them, including the one that has us convinced that we (however we define ourselves) are real.
And, ironically, even the one that tells us that we aren’t. (It’s maddening to the mind.)

Pharaoh Hound Articles
The Pharaoh dog is a breed of dog that was developed as a hunting dog, which they do very well with their speed, alertness and agility. Being members of the Sight hound family, they were excellent as hunters. The difference between sighthounds and regular hunting hounds are that sight hounds hunt by speed and sight, whereas regular hunting hounds hunt by scent and endurance. They specialize in finding the prey, not losing it in their line of view, and capturing it with their agility, intelligence and great speed. They were originally used to hunt and capture small game. Their excellent eyesight, sense of smell and perfect hearing made them the perfect choice for hunting. Very seldom did an animal get past the Pharaoh. [...]
The Pharaoh Dog or hound - one of the oldest dogs in recorded history - is a very intelligent dog. It's been said that their intelligence can even be seen in their eyes. They are capable of blushing when embarrassed or feeling pleased. Many have been trained by their owners to smile on command just so they can see the blush on their faces.
They are very perceptive to their owner's moods and feelings, a characteristic that only an intelligent dog can possess. They know without their owner saying a word when they should come to their owner or when they are in trouble or should just keep their distance. Many owners claim that raising the Pharaoh is as close to raising a child as it can possibly be. [...]
With all the different breeds of dogs around today, we see many varieties of colors. Most dogs can be any color, provided they are not registered in a dog club. When dogs are registered with clubs such as the American Kennel Club, there are specific colors required to keep them in compliance with their breed standards. The Pharaoh is no exception to that rule.
The Pharaoh will almost always be seen in red. Most people think of red as one color, but in the case of the Pharaoh, there are many variations of red. According to the breed standards for this dog, the variations range anywhere from tan to a dark chestnut with every shade in between being acceptable. White is accepted as an addition to the reds, but is not required. Some of the places you may see white may be markings on the chest such as a star, markings on the toes, tip of the tail, bridge of the muzzle or a small piece on the center of the forehead. Some kennel clubs, however, do appreciate the tip of the tail being white. [...]
Although the Pharaoh makes a wonderful pet, don't ever make the mistake of believing this dog is perfect, because he has his share of faults. There are, in fact, many things the prospective Pharaoh owner must realize before getting a Pharaoh as a family pet.
The Pharaoh is a very special dog known for its intelligence, speed and great perceptiveness. They are not the right dog for everyone, however. They require an owner with a lot of understanding of the breed. The Pharaoh is so intelligent that sometimes they are like a human. In many ways, they actually believe they are on the same level as humans and will often try to outsmart their owners. Because of their high level of intelligence, they are easy to train, but only on something that the dog feels they want to learn. If the Pharaoh feels something is "beneath him", he will disagree about doing it, often becoming very stubborn. They are always looking for ways to outsmart them. They also have a few bad habits worth mentioning. [...]
The Pharaoh is a breed of dog in the hound family. When we think of hounds, we think of hunting hounds that don't do much more than hunt. There is much more to the makeup of the Pharaoh hound dog.
The Pharaoh hound dog is a very intelligent, loyal and loving dog. In spite of these positive attributes, the Pharaoh is also a very independent dog, sometimes almost to a fault. The Pharaoh has a great personality despite his occasional aloofness. They seem to have an almost arrogant attitude at times, feeling that they are on top of the world and better than everyone else is. Although this appears like a strange description for a dog, it is exactly how the Pharaoh presents himself. The proof of this is in the "blush" they can show on their face when they are pleased with themselves over something they've done or received. [...]
The Pharaoh hound is a wonderful and very gentle dog that makes a great family pet. Although they have been described as stubborn, their extreme intelligence far outweighs their stubbornness.
They are very easy to train, although they will refuse to do something if they feel it is inappropriate for them. They are a loving dog, but only want to be loved when they are in the mood to be loved. They are great with children and love entertaining them and playing with them. Their greatest pleasure, in fact, is spending time with the family, whether he's lying by their side or outdoors romping in the yard. They are a very active dog that loves running and playing. [...]
The Pharaoh hound has been around for many years and has served many roles. In addition to their ability as a show dog, a companion and family dog, they also make excellent working dogs. From the time they were developed over 2,000 years ago, they were effective working dogs. They fulfilled the role of a hunting dog hunting rabbits and small game. They were also in charge of assisting the shepherds in guarding the flocks.
They still have the role of guarding and herding flocks today. They know where the flock should be and manage to always keep it in their watchful eye guarding it from other animals or harm.
The Pharaoh dog is often used in the role of a therapy dog. A therapy dog is just what the name implies. They dog goes to different hospitals, nursing homes and institutions that are in the dog's location and act as a healing benefit to the patients. [...]
The Pharaoh hound, which we think of as a hunting dog, also makes an excellent show dog. From the time the Pharaohs were first recognized in 1994, the American Kennel Club has had 233 litters and 1,211 dogs registered with their club. Of these numbers, 465 have earned their AKC Championship in addition to 53 of them being in Obedience. Many of the hunting dogs have also earned titles in AKC lure coursing.
Lure coursing is when the Pharaoh has the task of chasing a lure that is mechanically operated. This competition is usually reserved to dogs of the sighthound family, although other breeds have participated. The dogs chase the lure across a field, which has a specific pattern that resembles a real live course with bends and curves. The course is required to have a minimum amount of curves similar to what rabbits would travel on if they were in the woods. [...]
The Pharaoh dog is such a fascinating dog from its extreme intelligence to its infamous independence. The "blush" of the Pharaoh has made it a topic of much conversation, especially when they manage to do it from their owner's command.
Ever so popular, the Pharaoh dog is the national of Malta. It is here that it is called Kelb tal-Fenek, which means "rabbit hound". A rabbit hound is what they were originally bred for.
Did you know that of all the breeds registered in the hound group, the Pharaoh is the only one to take a place in the group level in the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show? However, in the American Kennel Club, in 2005, they were ranked 141 out of the 154 breeds of dogs that were registered. [...]
The Pharaoh hound is a very fast dog that participates in many active events. They do very well in lure coursing and excel in racing events. They were born with the love of running and chasing so this comes naturally to them. The racing events for the Pharaoh dog are held throughout the United States.
There are two different racing categories for the amateur Pharaoh. One is called LGRA, which stands for the Large Gazehound Racing Association. This race is a straight race where the dog sprints for 200 yards on a straight track, which is flat. The second kind of race is NOTRA racing, which stands for National Oval Track Racing Association. This race takes place on an oval track that goes for a set distance. The distances for each track will vary from group to group, depending on their individual specifications. They do range anywhere from 241-440 yards. [...]

They were part of “The Greatest Generation.”
They lived through the Great Depression. They took personal responsibility for their choices. They were humble and modest and dignified. They were self-sacrificial and cared deeply for their country. They were probably also the hardest-working generation. They worked to survive, both personally and culturally. They took great pride in their work and didn’t see that job as a punishment, but as a privilege.
These are my grandparents. You may be blessed to know someone who was also a part of The Greatest Generation. We have much to learn from them…
We live in an age of blame, and our society lacks an abundance of great leaders because of it. We like to point our finger and deflect negative attention to others whenever possible. True leadership, however, starts with a deep sense of responsibility.
Nowadays, humility is often seen as weakness, and the more flamboyant and vocal one is, the better. Jobs are often seen as inconveniences, hard work as punishment.
I look at the faces of my grandparents and grieve the loss of their work ethic and humility. I think about how devastated they would be to see where our country is now; the rock-throwing, fire-starting, name-calling generation that has no clue what true sacrifice even means.
But at the same time, I am filled with hope as I see more and more people banding together to love one another. I see black hugging white. I see young listening to the words of the old. I see people cleaning up school campuses and buying backpacks for foster kids and saving children from sex trafficking. I hear the giggles of my own adopted children and see redemption. And most importantly, I see the hearts of millions and millions of Americans who are still GOOD: living well, loving well and teaching others of their goodness through their actions. This is hope. Let us hang onto it.

The degree Celsius (symbol: °C) is a unit of temperature approved for use with the SI. The degree Celsius is equal to exactly one kelvin, which is defined as 1/273.16 of the thermodynamic temperature of the triple point of water. The Celsius or centigrade scale is related to the kelvin (absolute) scale by setting the temperature zero degrees Celsius (0°C) to be exactly 273.15 K, thus absolute zero is -273.15°C. The original centigrade scale was developed by Carolus Linnaeus in 1744 and set the temperature of the melting point of water (at atmospheric pressure) to 0°C, and the boiling point of water (at atmospheric pressure) to 100°C.
The Formulas of converting Celsius - Fahrenheit
(Eureka! Episode 20 - You Tube cast)A short YouTube movie on understanding temperature
Eureka! shows viewers how Swedish scientist Anders Celsius invented the Celsius thermometer, using the expansion of mercury as a measure of temperature.
Very good as teaching aid.
"When the degree of hotness - or temperature- of something goes up, its molecules go faster and it expands. This expansion can therefore be used to measure temperature itself. A device which does this is called a "hotness-meter" or thermometer. On the Celsius scale thermometer, the level to which mercury contracts at the freezing point of water is labelled 0 °C, and the level to which mercury expands at the boiling point of water is labelled 100 °C. "
(1701 - 1744)
|The Celsius scale is named for Anders Celsius (1701 – 1744), a Swedish astronomer, who developed a temperature scale similar to Linnaeus' scale in 1742, but with zero at the boiling point of water, and 100 degrees at the melting point. Due to the redefinition of the degree Celsius and the definition of "standard atmospheric pressure", the melting point of ice at standard atmospheric pressure is no longer 0°C, but is 0.002519°C, and the boiling point of water at standard atmospheric pressure is not exactly 100°C, but is estimated as 99.9839 °C|

MPs were last night due to discuss the future of RAF Scampton in the House of Commons after Market Rasen MP Sir Edward Leigh secured a debate.
The Ministry of Defence last year announced the base - home to the Red Arrows - would close by 2022 due to cost saving measures.
Sir Edward posted a message on his Twitter account to announce his success at securing the debate.
And he emphasised the base’s importance for the country’s defence infrastructure.
His Tweet, which has been ‘liked’ 194 times, said: “I’ve secured a debate next week on the closure of RAF Scampton and the location of the Red Arrows.
“We have campaigned for years to remind the MOD how useful this base is for the UK’s defence infrastructure.”
About 600 people work at RAF Scampton, including many from the Market Rasen area.
Thousands of people have signed online petitions campaigning against the closure plans and appealing to the Government to keep the Red Arrows in Lincolnshire.
But following his Tweet last week, Sir Edward spoke to BBC Radio Lincolnshire and said the closure was not a ‘political decision’.
He said: “What you’ve got to realise is that this is not a political decision. This is decided at air marshal level for purely technical reasons like air space, avionics and the state of the runway.
“So the prospects of any political campaign making much difference, and I’ve got to be completely honest, are quite limited.
“But they do have an effect and they are an expression of opinion.
“It’s quite possible that defence requirements may change.
The cold war with Russia may hot up, anything could happen over the next five or six years and RAF Scampton could get a new lease of life.”
Since the RAF Scampton closure announcement, a bid has been launched by an MP to move the home of the Red Arrows to Yorkshire.
Rishi Sunak MP says the squadron, made up of pilots, engineers and support staff, would be an “ideal fit” for North Yorkshire air base RAF Leeming.
And he has written to Defence Secretary Gavin Williamson making his case for the base.
But the move has further riled people in Lincolnshire, who are determined to fight to keep the much-loved aerobatic team in the county’s skies.

-- INDIANAPOLIS -- Five years between Indianapolis 500 victories is an eternity for Roger Penske.
It's a drought the legendary businessman/racing team owner has had to endure only once since 1979, when Rick Mears claimed the first of his four Indy wins, the second of Penske's record 15 triumphs in the famous Memorial Day race.
The seven-year gap between 1994 and 2001 in Penske's Indy win resume comes with an asterisk. In 1995, his cars failed to make the race, unable to muster the speed to make Indy's field of 33 in an era when there were far more entries than starting berths.
From 1996 to 2000, embroiled in the politics of the era, Penske chose not to participate at Indianapolis. But he simply couldn't stay away from a race he first attended in 1951, and since his return to Indy in 2001, Penske has won five times.
Still, the last win came courtesy of Helio Castroneves in 2009, and there have been only two Indy victory lane celebrations since Gil de Ferran capped a run of three straight for Team Penske all the way back in 2003.
Taking that absence from the late '90s away, the current five-year winless skein is Penske's longest in 35 years. Three years without a Penske win at Indy is a rarity, and that fact doesn't slip past him.
"I've seen a lot go on here at Indianapolis, and obviously we've had the success to have cars in the winner's circle 15 times," Penske said. "But that doesn't really mean anything. It's, 'What are you going to do this year?'
"For me it's another journey, this year with three great drivers," Penske added. "Helio [Castroneves], looking for his fourth win; Will [Power], leading the championship; and Juan Pablo Montoya, coming back from NASCAR after having the opportunity to drink the milk the last time he was here.
"I think with these three drivers we have the right combination, no question. And potentially we've got the winner."
There's no doubt that the re-expansion of Team Penske's effort in the Verizon IndyCar Series to three full-time cars this year was based on the desire for a stronger showing at Indianapolis. After all, Montoya led 167 of 200 laps to dominate the Indianapolis 500 in his only attempt (in 2000, while driving for Chip Ganassi), and he also boasts a strong record in the NASCAR Brickyard 400 at Indianapolis.
Perhaps not surprisingly, it was recently announced that Montoya will drive a Team Penske Ford at the Brickyard in late July.
Team Penske president Tim Cindric has been saying all season long that Indianapolis was where Montoya would start to show the form that won 12 Indy car races and a CART-sanctioned championship in 1999-2000. Montoya admitted Thursday at Indianapolis 500 Media Day that the recent Grand Prix of Indianapolis was the first time in four races this year that he had his Dallara-Chevrolet tuned to his liking.
"It's a shame we got behind at the start, because I could really push the car and I thought we were one of the fastest cars out there," Montoya said.
"At St. Pete, the team said, 'Take it easy.' I was always a session behind those guys [Power and Castroneves]," he continued. "At Long Beach, I decided to just go for it, and it worked a lot better. I'm starting to understand what I want out of the car and how to get the most out of the red tires."
Just when Montoya was starting to get comfortable on road and street courses again after seven and a half years out of formula cars, he got pitched onto the famous Indianapolis oval. Like at St. Pete, he seemed to be one session behind his teammates; he was disappointed to miss out on the Fast Nine in Saturday qualifying, then came back to post the second fastest speed of the day Sunday (231.007 mph vs. pole winner Ed Carpenter's 231.067) to lead the drivers competing for 10th on the grid.
Power ran a slightly slower speed but landed on the outside of the front row.
"The biggest thing for me about being back here is the honor of being with Penske -- the tradition, the history," Montoya said.
"I came here once and I won it, so I have a little bit of pressure to make it 2-for-2," he added with a chuckle. "I know how important this race is for everybody, and this year it's so close that the smallest detail can make the difference between having the winning car and not."
Castroneves' bid to tie Penske icon Rick Mears' record of four Indianapolis wins will be easy to follow on the racetrack. His Dallara-Chevrolet is decked out in a vivid yellow retro look that mimics the Pennzoil-sponsored cars that Mears drove to Indy wins for Penske in 1984 and '88.
"The color yellow helped me before on 'Dancing With the Stars,' so I'm hoping for the same," joked Castroneves, who will start from the inside of Row 2 on Sunday.
Meanwhile, some observers believe Power is the Penske driver who will end "The Captain's" victory drought. Any questions about the Australian's oval speed or racecraft were put to rest when he conclusively won the 500-mile 2013 IndyCar Series season finale at Auto Club Speedway.
"The 500-mile race in California was a big breakthrough for me," said Power, who is acknowledged as the top road racer in the series. "I'd never been so excited at the end of a race.
"But this is a very different place and a very different style of racing," he went on. "I feel like this year we have a much better car. I feel much more comfortable in traffic and seem to be able to pass and run in traffic a lot better."

Meta CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, in the firm’s annual report, has reportedly threatened to completely shut down Facebook and Instagram across Europe if the firm is not allowed to transfer, store, and process data of its European users to its US-based servers.
Transatlantic data transfer is regulated by the Privacy Shield and other model agreements which are, or were used by Meta to store data of European users on American servers. These current agreements that allow data transfers are presently coming under heavy scrutiny across the European Union.
Meta, in its annual report to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, warned that unless a new framework is adopted, allowing it to use the current or alternative model agreements, it will not be able to offer many of its significant products and services such as Facebook and Instagram in the EU.
Meta has stressed that sharing of data between countries and regions is critical to provide its services and targeted advertising, which is why it used Privacy Shield as its legal basis for carrying out data transfers.
However, the treaty was annulled in 2020 by the European Court of Justice due to a violation of data protection, following which the US and the EU have started working upon a new and updated version of the treaty.
Meta also uses other ‘model’ agreements, also called ‘Standard Contractual Clauses’, that are also facing scrutiny in Brussels as well as other parts of Europe.
In a statement, Nick Clegg, VP of Global Affairs and Communications, Meta, warned that the lack of secure, safe, and legal transfers of EU data over international waters could damage the region’s economy and extensively hamper the growth of local data-driven businesses, at a time where everyone is recovering from the Covid-19 slump.
Clegg added that while policymakers were working towards a long-term and sustainable solution, the firm urges them to take a proportionate and pragmatic approach so that businesses like Facebook suffer minimal disruption in transferring data safely and securely.
Back in in 2020, the IDPC (Irish Data Protection Commission) had provisionally concluded that the use of the purported model agreements was out of line with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), with its final verdict expected to be published by the first half of 2022.

Uri Shulevitz is a favorite author of mine. Short on copy. Long on meaning. Enhanced with magnificent illustrations. In true Shulevitz fashion, “The Treasure” starts simply, on a blank page, with just these words: “There once was a man and his name was Isaac.”
Isaac was a poor man who was often hungry. In a dream, a voice told him to look for a treasure under a bridge in the big city. He walked and walked to get there, only to meet a guard who laughed at him and told him to go home, because he would just as likely find a treasure under the stove in his own house.
When he got home, he did find treasure, under his own stove. Isaac was so grateful that he built a house of prayer, in the corner of which he inscribed: “Sometimes one must travel far to discover what is near.”
Age range: 6-9
We all hear so much about gratitude these days – on Oprah’s Super Soul Sunday, in blog posts, in bestsellers. Contentment or being happy with one’s portion (same’ach b’chelko) begins with understanding that how you approach life creates your happiness.
PJ Library quotes Ben Zoma from Pirkei Avot saying “Who is rich? The one who is happy with what he has.”
As parents, our job is to help our children appreciate “what’s good in their lives – from the beauty of nature, to the generosity of friends, to the taste of good food.”
So many of us are blessed with plenty to eat that it’s easy to forget how many families struggle to put a meal on the table. This is especially true during the summer when children can’t get free breakfasts and lunches at school.
You can start a regular journey of visiting your local food pantry, either culling from your own shelves or making a grocery run. In either case, invite each child to choose three or four or five (whatever number is comfortable for you) cans or boxes or veggies to donate to other families. If this is your first time going to the food bank, you might want to call to ask what they need.
When our girls were younger, we started a new tradition at dinner where everyone offered something good that had happened that day. By starting with one thing that was good, we discovered that the tone of the whole mealtime changed. In fact, most of us were already thinking about which one good thing to share when we sat down!
After that, we were all free to share the parts that didn’t go as well as we liked, too.
Even if you can’t be face-to-face with your grands as often as you like, you can start phone or Skype conversations with “what’s the best thing that happened to you today?”
In what ways have you shared the idea of happiness with your child?

Blends memoir and legal cases to show how contracts can create family relationships Most people think of love and contracts as strange bedfellows, or even opposites. In Love's Promises, however, law professor Martha Ertman shows that far from cold and calculating, contracts shape and sustain families. Blending memoir and law, Ertman delves into the legal cases, anecdotes, and history of family law to show that love comes in different packages, each shaped by different contracts and mini-contracts she calls "deals." Family law should and often does recognize that variety because legal rules, like relationships, aren't one size fits all. The most common form of family-which Ertman calls "Plan A"-come into being through different kinds of agreements than the more uncommon families that she dubs "Plan B." Recognizing the contractual core of all families shows that Plan B is neither unnatural nor unworthy of legal recognition, just different. After telling her own moving and often irreverent story about becoming part of a Plan B family of two moms and a dad raising a child, Ertman shows that all kinds of people-straight and gay, married and single, related by adoption or by genetics-use contracts to shape their relationships. As couples navigate marriage, reproductive technologies, adoption, and cohabitation, they encounter contracts. Sometimes hidden and other times openly acknowledged, these contracts ensure that the people they think of as "family" are legally recognized as family in the eyes of the law. Family exchanges can be substantial, like vows of fidelity, or small, like "I cook and you clean." But regardless of scope, the agreements shape the emotional, social, and financial terrain of family relationships. Seeing the instrumental role contracts will help readers better understand how contracts and deals work in their own families as well as those around them. Both insightful and paradigm-shifting, Love's Promises lets readers in on the power of contracts and deals to support love in its many forms and to honor the different ways that our nearest and dearest contribute to our daily lives.

Judicial Watch and the Daily Caller News Foundation (DCNF) announced today that they received 301 pages of emails and other records of Dr. Anthony Fauci and Dr. H. Clifford Lane from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
They showed that National Institutes of Health (NIH) officials tailored confidentiality forms to China’s terms. The World Health Organization (WHO) conducted an unreleased, “strictly confidential” COVID-19 epidemiological analysis in January 2020.
“These new emails show WHO and Fauci’s [National Institutes of Health] gave special accommodations to Chinese communist efforts to control information about COVID-19,” Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said in a statement.
It is not clear what restrictions Beijing included in its confidentiality forms. They were not included in the emails turned over by the government to Judicial Watch and the DCNF.
In an email dated March 4, 2020, from Chinese journalist Zeng Jia to Lane, a reporter for Caixin Media, points out to Fauci deputy Cliff Lane that the number of cases reported in the WHO Joint China Mission’s report are inconsistent with the number the Wuhan Public Health Committee.
In an email dated February 15, 2020, Gauden Galea, head of the WHO office in China, informs the joint mission members traveling to China that all of their activities in China would be arranged by the Chinese Government’s National Health Commission.
“These emails set the tone early on in the coronavirus outbreak. It’s clear that the WHO allowed China to control the information flow from the start. True transparency is crucial,” said Ethan Barton, editor-in chief for the Daily Caller News Foundation.
“These new emails show WHO and Fauci’s NIH special accommodations to Chinese communist efforts to control information about COVID-19,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.
Fauci is a villain.
