The Durham investigation has shown that the biggest threat to our democracy is not some foreign country, but rather the Power Elite led by the likes of Hillary Clinton and her co-conspirators in the mainstream media & security state who work to undermine our democracy from within— Tulsi Gabbard ?

This is kind of old news.
We’ve known how the Russia Hoax got started for years now. It is nice to see it confirmed though.
“Within 24 hours of her concession speech, [campaign chair John Podesta and manager Robby Mook] assembled her communications team at the Brooklyn headquarters to engineer the case that the election wasn’t entirely on the up-and-up. For a couple of hours, with Shake Shack containers littering the room, they went over the script they would pitch to the press and the public. Already, Russian hacking was the centerpiece of the argument.”
Note: Wasn’t the gist of this all in that book Shattered about how Hillary blamed Russia for her defeat in the 2016 election?
Hillary Clinton’s Voting Bloc
Post-1965 Nonwhite LEGAL Immigrants
The US born nonwhite geneline of post-1965 nonwhite LEGAL Immigrants…
This is why Hillary Clinton has enormous political power…..
And this is how the election was stolen..
John Podesta and his brother
Belgium Police perp drawing of the two men who snatched that 11 year English girl
Podesta brothers dead ringers…
And don’t forget John Podesta’s brother’s pedophile art collection in his basement…
Even most of the media shut up with the Russian hacking hoax a while ago because it became so discredited. I think only Rachel Maddow still pushed it, because she is in Clinton’s crew so she probably helped fabricate the hoax or at least was in direct contact with those who did.
Like with racism hoaxes or the Iraq WMD hoax, it doesn’t really matter if the hoax later becomes discredited. The damage has already been done.
Dear Occidental Dissent readers:
Please for the love of GOD please stop accusing Tucker Carlson of being a neocon gatekeeper or whatever other nonsense label that has been hung on him. He’s doing the Lord’s work. He isn’t perfect but he’s done more to open eyes in this country than anybody else in decades.
Tucker is a limited hangout kind of guy. From him, you get some of the truth but not all of it. The crumbs and small bits of truth he throws you are supposed to satisfy you and keep you from asking for it all.
You are never going to hear him talk about Moshiach, not in a million years.
Does your wife allow you to play on the internet after 9pm, Brownie?
Someone needs to remind Tucker Carlson that Trudeau is a Roman Catholic.
People like him certainly can be valuable stepping stones. Only took me a few years between listening to Rush and then discovering that Hitler did nothing wrong.
He is a neocon gatekeeper, though. He agitates against China all the time.
Would a neocon gatekeeper travel to Hungary to conduct a positive one on one interview with Victor Orban though?
Yes, a neocon gatekeeper would go to Hungary to interview the most Zionist leader in Europe. That’s exactly what a neocon gatekeeper would do.
This is why “the right” is an atomized epic fail. Just not pure enough. Like he is not on a paid contract to people who have the final word over what he says.
Dart is not of “The Right.” He’s an alienated Leftist who has failed to cope with the Democrat Party abandoning the White Working Class. Most of the White Working Class either stays home or votes Republican. Dart and other Team Blue nutjobs like him vote straight Democrat and insanely believe that Republicans are the evil party and Democrats are the stupid party, when in fact, its the other way around.
These Alt-MSNBC types are purity spiraling into Bolshevism and Leninism and Stalinism and all sorts of other laughable shit. I’ve seen them on Twitter argue that Lyshenko was right about genetics and Mendel was a liar. How they reconcile this with race being a biological-deterministic trait, I don’t know. “Duality of Man” and all that.
Tucker Carlson is the best thing thats happened to the Pro-White Movement since the 1960s. He’s single-handedly radicalized and redpilled more Normies than every 1.0 and 2.0 type combined. He could literally be on the CIA payroll, and it wouldn’t matter because his rhetoric and messages objectively make us stronger. Leftists like Dart and Ricky Butt Goy Vaughn hate Tucker because he’s a Social Conservative, and at the end of the day, they want the Pro-White Movement to by friendly to and synonymous with Social Liberalism. Based Wokeness.
You must be confusing me with someone else. I’m about as socially conservative as a person can be and have never voted democrat (but will be voting straight ticket D from now until the Republican party dies).
Tucker Carlson is a neocon gatekeeper, who currently represents the Thiel/Hazony/Claremont “national conservative” wing of neoconservatism. This is a newer branch of neoconservatism that many do not recognize because it conflicts with the old guard neocons. They share most of the same goals of classic neocons, but with different strategic focus.
A good comment though I do not know who Ricky Vaughn is. Yes, I have noticed that it is bizarre to have communists on this website.
Fun factoid – the day Durham was sworn in, was the day ‘QAnon’ made his first post. Just sayin’!
Unfortunately, Dump failed on that promises to lock her up.
Jake Sullivan is Irish. Why is it always the Irish in the middle of all this dirty double dealing? Because they are just like us? Because they believe in truth, justice, and the American way? Is that the line of crap we are expected to swallow?
Anyone stirring up old, White ethnic or religious hostilities at a time when our entire race is under Genocidal attack is just another Anti-White. Divide and conquer.
Yeah, the creepy Podesta brothers are also Roman Catholics of the Italian variety.
No negative consequences let alone prison for Cankles, Sullivan, (((Sussman))), (((Joffe))) or the gummint contractor computer hackers. The connected & the rich never pay the piper for their crimes in the jewSA; oh no: prison is for hapless prole patriotard “insurrectionists” who barge into the “sacred space” of (((Our Democracy))) and fart around for a a little while.
You forgot to have the laser-eyes plus caption of “Durham Activated”… perhaps with tiny pic of Cheetohead’s pen on presidential desk. Any day now (send shekels to Trumpstein Tower) … Gnome sayin’?
I’m quite surprised that it has actually been exposed. I will not be surprised when nothing happens to the perpetrators, even though this actually was a conspiracy. Nor will I be surprised when the media simply doubles down, compounds the lies and play their permanent victim cards, and call everyone who believes this evil white supremist nazi misogynist Russian agents. How dare anyone question pure as the driven snow hillary, or her guardians, protecting her from the eternal vast evil right wing conspiracy…
Anyone who thinks the Durham Report™ is going to result in Hillary being handcuffed and escorted to a black FBI van with a raincoat over her head is decrepit old fool. That’s right, I’m referring to you, Brownie.
Tulsi is a smart Politian, sniffing the direction of the wind and getting ahead of it. Will she switch parties? How many more rats will leave the sinking Biden ship or distance themselves from him?

Transfer and Inventory Components of Developing Repository Services
MetadataShow full item record
At the Library of Congress, our most basic data management needs are not surprising: How do we know what we have, where it is, and who it belongs to? How do we get files "new and legacy" from where they are to where they need to be? And how do we record and track events in the life cycle of our files? This presentation describes current work at the Library in implementing tools to meet these needs as a set of modular services -- Transfer, Transport, and Inventory -- that will fit into a larger scheme of repository services to be developed. These modular services do not equate to everything needed to call a system a repository. But this is a set of services that equate to many aspects of "ingest" and "archiving" the registry of a deposit activity, the controlled transfer and transport of files, and an inventory system that can be used to track files, record events in those files life cycles, and provide basic file-level discovery and auditing. This is the first stage in the development of a suite of tools to help the Library ensure long-term stewardship of its digital assets.

Maps have become an important tool for the visualisation of large and complex datasets. As a result, many are produced by people with an abundance of specialist technical skills in data manipulation and analysis, but relatively little knowledge of what makes a good map. Conversely, many cartographers and designers have not acquired the technical knowledge to produce data-rich maps that meet well-established cartographic standards. This course will provide a brief introduction and overview of the software and skills required to create such maps in the hope that more cartographers can take advantage of the many developments in data science and associated fields.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- A plan to repair an 8-mile stretch of W.Va. 10 has left some Logan County residents angry and the West Virginia Division of Highways scrambling to appease them.Last month, the DOH closed W.Va. 10 between Dabney and Man after contractors found that the hillside had become increasingly unstable, dropping boulders onto the road. The upgrades were slated to continue for 90 days.Vehicles must now travel between Dabney and Man on a winding 17-mile detour along County Routes 14 and 16. The trip can take half an hour or more. On W.Va. 10, the same trip took about 10 minutes.Earlier this week, Logan County residents gathered at a community meeting to discuss the detour."People were frustrated and angry," said Carrie Bly, a spokeswoman for the state Department of Transportation.Some attendees complained about the financial burden incurred by the detour, said Bly and Roger Bryant, director of the Logan County Office of Emergency Management. They have to spend more on gasoline as they drive to work along the lengthy detour every morning.Others' concerns involved safety. Emergency vehicles from Man often travel along W.Va. 10 to reach the Logan Area Medical Center. Now, those vehicles have to spend up to an hour winding along the detour route to get to Logan."Obviously, it would be much better if we had a 20-minute drive to the hospital," Bryant said. "Now, it's more difficult because of the time and mileage."In response to those concerns, Highways officials have revamped their plans for dealing with the road closure.
"After listening to the public's suggestions, it is clear that there is a need for providing a quicker response time for emergency services," the DOH stated in a news release Friday.Beginning Aug 5, a police vehicle will be stationed at either end of the closed road to improve response times.Authorities will rely on a medical helicopter to fly people out of the closed area along W.Va. 10. However, if the helicopter can't fly, police will open the road to allow emergency vehicles to pass.Bizzack Construction LLC will have an additional end-loader at the site to help clear the road, if necessary, according to the DOH. Bly warned, though, that clearing the road could take up to 30 minutes.Many residents expressed anger that the DOH had not paved or prepared the detour route, Bly said.In response, construction crews on Aug. 1 started to pave the county routes in the detour. West Virginia Paving plans to work on the routes during low traffic times to avoid extensive delays. They expect delays to be from 5 to 10 minutes.
Construction crews also plan to erect 68 more road signs, to showcase the route, urge drivers to reduce speeds, warn them of curves and give them advance notice of one-lane bridges. They also have begun to install a new guardrail.Also, the Logan County Sheriff's Department has increased monitoring for speeding cars along the detour route, Bly said.Reach Laura Reston at firstname.lastname@example.org or 304-348-5112.

Antibiotic use in the livestock industry greatly varies on the animal industry and the farm. Much of the controversy is over the use of subtherapeutic levels where antibiotics are not used for treating sick animals, but instead routinely given at low doses.
However, subtherapeutic doses can prevent subclinical diseases, like necrotic enteritis in poultry. Some human food-borne pathogens are reduced in poultry as well, like Campylobacter bacteria, which can cause illness if the meat is not prepared properly.
Antibiotics also treat mastitis, a common udder inflammation in dairy cows, which substantially reduces milk quality in addition to being painful for the cow. As long as milk is pasteurized, antibiotic-resistant strains would not likely be a human health risk because pasteurization kills both susceptible and resistant strains. In organic and antibiotic-free industries, however, if antibiotics are used even to treat sick animals, the meat can no longer be considered organic or antibiotic free.
For beef and pork, on the other hand, antibiotics improve weight gain and food utilization by the animal. The ban of antibiotics for growth promotion would significantly impact the income for farmers or raise the price of animal products.
Therefore, both the microbiological and agricultural perspectives on the use of antibiotics in animals should be considered when finding sustainable solutions to the problem of rising antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria.

Whither the neighborhood? For a start one might read these two posts Urban Development - Neighborhood and Old Town: Overwhelmed by crack defining the Old Town neighborhood. The neighborhood has been on a long downward slope for quite some time. It apparently hasn't reached the bottom yet.
That slope has been well greased by the city and aided by neighborhood apathy. Some city grease - the Resource Access Center, public loos as well as a lack luster drug enforcement. And the apathetic neighborhood associations - one allegedly made up of residents and the other allegedly represents businesses - act much like Curling sweepers clearing the downward path from obstacles.
In none of the media reports on the new homeless camp do we read about either the neighborhood or business associations having anything to say. Mostly this is because both organizations are controlled by the social service industry that dominates Old Town.
This comment was found (brought to my attention) in the Mercury article on the camp.
As a Old Town business owner, I gotta say that with the concentrated social services in OTCT, and abandonment of city redevelopment assistance in the neighborhood (because PSU district is really hurting, PDC TO THE RESCUE!) it feels like we're kind of reaching capacity as far as what OTCT can sustain as far as shelters/outreach/social services are concerned, and still remain a place to do business.
I'm fully for the city doing everything it can to help the homeless/disadvantaged, but how about we spread it around a bit? I'm guessing there aren't too many businesses on NW 9th and Everett, or 39th and Hawthorne that have to clean urine out of their shop doorways every single morning.What is interesting is that this comment is the same as those I used to hear from commercial business owners when I lived in Old Town from 2004 to 2010. But the truth of the matter is that, then as apparently now, the "leaders," with one exception, in Old Town didn't, and still don't, give a rats' ass about commercial business.
The neighborhood association continues its lack of leadership and the business association is pure bunk. Old Town will continue its decline into the past unless some active leadership is formed that is devoid of social service influence. The problem in Old Town is not the 'table,' but who is at the table.

Watching the newest or most hard to find movies in the comfort of your own home is a great, classic way to spend an evening. Video on demand programming is an excellent resource for accessing all kinds of movies, from highly-anticipated releases to a range of lesser-known films. If you are not a VOD subscriber, though, you most likely rent DVDs from a neighborhood video club, unless you are a Netflix customer with hand-picked, home-delivery DVDs showing up at your doorstep on a regular basis. So what happens to non-subscribers on those unprecedented evenings when you are stuck at home, with the car in the shop or inclement weather? Either you will spend your night flipping through sitcoms on cable TV, or, with a little bit of resourcefulness, you can stream the best movies over the internet.
Especially useful for internet users that are equipped with high-speed connections (such as those provided by DSL, cable, and satellite internet), streaming programming is a great way to be able to watch what you want, when you want it. All kinds of movies are available streaming, which, by eliminating the uncertainty of whether or not you are downloading a harmful file rather than the movie you intended to watch, is safe for your computer. In addition, streaming movies have all of the controls of a VCR, including pause, fast forward, rewind, and frame jumps.
Some of the top internet streaming movie sites are SurftheChannel.com, MoviesonDemand.com, Nabolister, MovieLab.tv, and movieforumz. These sites are essentially search engines with links to the actual host sites where the videos can be watched. The sites vary in quality, of course, and many of the search sites will indicate which of the video links have the quickest loading time, the best design, the best image quality, the fewest ads, and which ones are subtitled in foreign languages.
Ethically speaking, downloading and streaming movies aren’t all good, however. Of course, major film production companies have their obvious issues with these pirate sites making expensive movies available to the public quickly and at little or no charge. If the movie is available streaming, why rent it? This mentality makes the actual success of a film difficult to judge, as the numbers are more difficult to collect. In addition, some movies become available to DSL, cable, and satellite internet users before they are actually released in theaters. Such was the case with ‘The Reader,’ starring Kate Winslet in an Oscar-nominated role; Brazil’s 2007 political blockbuster ‘The Elite Squad’ was leaked online by movie pirates weeks before its release in theaters, and was viewed by an estimated tens of thousands of viewers before the film was even completely finished.
Fortunately, for the ethical movie fans out there, there are also subscription-based services for which you pay a small fee to access hundreds of films. Netflix, in fact, has an internet option available through their subscription service, via which high-speed internet users can select from the Netflix database of several thousand movies.

Eating Out in FicksburgBella Rosa Restaurant
Where? 21 Bloem Street, Ficksburg, 9730, Thabo Mofutsanyana, Free State, South Africa
When? Booking is recommended.
How? Call +27 (0)51 933-2623
More? See website
The Free State Province of South Africa is a place of inordinate beauty; characterised by sandstone cliffs, rolling countryside (some grassy savannahs, some green scrub), and the clear blue of the high African sky. It is in this province and, more specifically, in the heart of the town of Ficksburg, that the Bella Rosa Restaurant can be found.
Open from 08h00 to 21h00 every day, this eatery is about comfort, charm and a warm, South African hospitality. The fully-licensed pub is inviting, complete with an open fireplace for chilly Free State evenings that are best spent with a glass of sherry or a great local red wine. During the warmer summer months, the pub is equally popular for its ice-cold beers or a crisp white. The wine cellar is a delight to see and its range impressive. The collection includes an array of different labels and varietals to suit just about any preferences.
In the mornings, guests can enjoy a full English breakfast or a Continental one; both of which are hearty and scrumptious. Friendly service staff and tasty meals make the Bella Rosa Restaurant a firm favourite amongst those that have been there.
Bella Rosa has an old oak tree under which to relax and is close enough to the old sandstone buildings of Ficksburg that one can opt to walk there. Other things to do and see in this town include the Khoi-San paintings inside the caves of the mountains, horse riding, going skiing on the Mahlasela slopes, or visiting the local asparagus and cherry farms. Every year, the Cherry Festival is held here, and the little town bursts into a hive of activity and visitors come from near and far to sample the delicious fresh berries. The town is in the foothills of the Imperani Mountain Range, which offers further activities (hiking and climbing, for example), as well as a near-perfect backdrop.

BALTIMORE (AP) — A veteran police leader from New Orleans has arrived in Baltimore, tasked with reforming a troubled force while reducing one of the country's highest violent crime rates.
Monday is Michael Harrison's first day leading the Baltimore Police Department as acting commissioner. The City Council will decide on his nomination next month.
Recent years have been tumultuous for the department. Harrison is the fourth police commissioner of Mayor Catherine Pugh's roughly 2-year-old administration.
Harrison says he will not tread cautiously on rooting out wrongdoing, asserting "there will be no tolerance for corruption" under his watch. He says the department must have a "very robust" internal affairs division.
He also says he's eager to advocate for Baltimore's demoralized officers and ensure they get the resources they need to be successful.

sorry, I forgot how to embed AGAIN. Anyways.. just wondering if anyone is into this band. They're coming to the Ritz in Ybor October 16th. Gonna be a seriously fucking trans formative show, that is, for me at least. They are just so unique, and fucking 12 members makes it so much more fun. folk ftmfw. Love the contrast in voices between the two main vocalists.
I love these guys
I love these guys
right on! i didn't think anyone would be into them. I can't wait for this shit...
I really like this jammy jam from them http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_7nD1T7mjp8
I don't know how to emb. either...
Me too! one of my favorites. It was a toss up between seeing them or Built to Spill, unfortunately both are on the same day. But I've already seen Built to Spill live twice, so I'm taking advantage of this rare opportunity for sure.
I saw them at UCLA on a whim. They put on a hell of a show, had a good time. I can't get too stoked on them though, as I feel that too much of their appeal is their capitalizing on a bygone era, which I think is wack.
pfttt. A good show is a good show. That's sick you saw them though, from what I've heard they are really fun to watch, which is pretty obvious. I dig the whole concept. It's weird that he's the singer from IMAROBOT. Sounds nothing alike to me.
I dig em.
I bought their cd last week. It met my expectations.
Really digging these guys.
yes! i stumbled upon them while listening to some random album called 'F#@king Catalina Wine Mixer, Vol. I'. i don't remember how i came across that album, but it's full of goodies. i've been listening to Up From Below almost daily since March.
u am snookems
Haha, they're only the biggest buzz band this year.
New Ima Robot record comes out in October, too.

Soil science is said to be one of the oldest agricultural sciences in the world. Not only is it one of the oldest but one of the most important; without soil the earth could not support life – shame there isn’t an infinite supply. That’s one of the reasons that VSNi are committed to helping soil scientists to ensure accurate research and data analysis, allowing you to draw the best from your soil.
As the only company of it’s kind to concentrate on the life sciences, VSNi are ideally placed to help you reach your goals quickly, efficiently and perhaps most important, accurately. With a rising awareness that new technologies can support and often accelerate results, GenStat provides all the tools you need to bring viable research and top class soil to your market.
With thousands of analyses, procedures and directives a single page isn’t nearly enough to show off GenStat. The following is but a small example of some of the possibilities; to gauge the full potential why not try GenStat for yourself?
Understanding soil has a direct affect on not only agricultural production but also has a major impact on the environment and human wellbeing. VSNi want to support you – the soil scientist – in evaluating soils and interpreting soil-related data to assist with this understanding.

My research focuses on positive and reciprocal human-ocean relationships and sits within the UNESCO chair program in Communication, Environment, and Heritage. I am interested in how human connections to marine resources have been represented through time, as socio-cultural priorities shift, and as climate change and other anthropogenic pressures progress. I aim to explore these themes with Abalone fisheries and kelp forest management as case studies.
I’m originally from Edmonton, Canada, where I completed my BSc in environmental sciences. A love for diving and work experience as a divemaster led me to pursue my MSc in marine biology at Ghent University, focused on global ocean change.
Reason for joining CMS and research relatedness:
Marine socio-ecology is at the core of my research interests and Ph.D. project. My research explores how positive and reciprocal human relationships with the ocean have shaped and may continue to shape sustainable marine futures with the conservation of nature, culture and heritage in mind. Thus, the resources and connections available through CMS will be integral to the success of this interdisciplinary project.

A lot of people might think: this is heresy! MiiPC is known to be the next generation Android powered family device, which gathers a few functions one has daily-basis uses, such as: desktop computing, media center, gaming console, parental control, all in one. The device has been created by a team of developers at ZeroDesktop, Inc., based in Silicon Valley, per official website. Quite amazing we would say, but will it be good enough to impress?
Normal users write or read on the internet, but do users need more than a tablet or a computer? Well, actually, most users are bored of having various devices in their homes, each one with a different operating systems, various firmware upgrades that are available or not; users can also get bored of compatibility issues. Recent reviews have shown that the MiiPC looks like a light, small box that can be easily equipped with a keyboard and mouse, a monitor TV or desktop connected through micro HDMI, a gaming console and many more. The device comes with a ready App Store, an on-screen keyboard (which is not that comfortable to use, by the way), but the most important feature is the parental control, a cloud-based patent-pending technology. This way, parents are able to control what, how much and when children are accessing the web, games, videos or apps, without being limited by distance or a server. This is the main reason why they called it a family device.
Even though Windows or Mac will never be replaced due to the powerful factors that attract so many consumers, some alternatives like these might be found in time and why not, be enjoyed by everyone! The MiiPC is a personal computing device that brings 2 GB RAM and 8GB of Flash Memory and can be used to surf the web, play games, watch videos, edit documents and access more than 300,000 Android apps.

New York passes 'toughest' gun law in the US
By Sebastian Smith, AFPNEW YORK -- New York on Tuesday passed what supporters called the toughest gun ownership law in the country, becoming the first U.S. state to impose new restrictions in the wake of last month's elementary school massacre in Connecticut.
January 17, 2013, 11:42 am TWN
Lawmakers in the lower house of the State Assembly voted 104-43 in favor of the measure, which had been approved by the upper house in a 43-18 vote late Monday.
Democratic Governor Andrew Cuomo, who rushed through the legislation, welcomed the assembly's overwhelming support, saying “we are fighting back.”
“I am proud to be a New Yorker today,” Cuomo said as he signed the law. “Not just because New York has the first bill, but because New York has the best bill.”
The measures, which include a full ban on sales of military-style rifles, were linked directly to the national horror at the Dec. 14 massacre of 20 6- and 7-year-olds and six staff at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut.
Those killings sparked a major national debate over the need for curbing America's liberal gun laws. President Barack Obama said Tuesday he would unveil his own proposals on Wednesday.
New York's rapid action on the opening days of its new session grabbed national attention and ramped up momentum for supporters of sweeping new restrictions, particularly on assault rifles — the kind of weapon the Newtown killer used.
New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, a prominent critic of lax gun rules, said the New York vote proved “that it's possible to act quickly — and in a bipartisan fashion — to enact gun laws that will make our communities safer.”
However, the biggest gun owners' group, the National Rifle Association (NRA), said it was “outraged at the draconian gun control bill.”

Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara comes out against the idea of a temporary head for the vetting committee for senior officials, after the High Court froze government’s appointment of a new chairman due to the elections.
Responding for the state, Baharav-Miara acknowledges “considerations of restraint” during an election period, but argues that not appointing Menachem “Meni” Mazuz as chairman of the Senior Appointments Advisory Committee on a permanent basis would undercut the authorities of the government and the panel.
In their decision to halt the appointment last week, the justices questioned why Mazuz could not serve as a temporary head of the committee.
“The appointment of a committee chairman on a temporary or ‘ad-hoc’ basis… harms the government’s broad policies and makes an opening for the erosion of the independent and very important status of the committee’s members as gatekeepers,” she writes in the response.
Mazuz’s appointment is necessary for Maj. Gen. Herzi Halevi to become the next IDF chief, as nominees for top security posts must be vetted by the committee.

Here’s Gerry Brownlee in the Herald today:
Brownlee said the [Whirinaki] power plant, near Napier, was intended as an emergency backup to be used seldomly in dry years.
But he said the figures – from use over 32 days in the three-month period – suggested otherwise.
“Its increased use is more evidence that Labour has failed to future-proof our energy sector’
No, Gerry, it’s not; it is evidence that the system is working as intended. Whirinaki is intended to ensure supply continues in dry years. We are in a dry year and the New Plymouth natural gas power plant at is off-line for upgrading. Whirinaki is running at well-under full power (2.3% of capacity in January, 6.5% in February) to cover the short-fall, just as it was intended to do.
Brownlee is also huffing that 7.6 million litres of diesel have been burnt this year by Whirinaki. But that is replacing gas that would have been burnt in New Plymouth. If the New Plymouth plant were operational, the Whirinaki plant would not be running (both are used as reserve but New Plymouth is used first by Contact as it’s own reserve and Whirinaki is the Electricity Commission’s back-stop reserve). Ironically, the Whirinaki plant is actually more fuel efficient than the old New Plymouth plant, so we may well be getting more bang for our buck (and more power per kg of carbon dioxide).
Brownlee is clueless on electricity, and he wants to be your Energy Minister come November.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are intent on retaining unrestricted free agent cornerback Phillip Buchanon to bolster their secondary, according to ProFootball Weekly.
While the Buccaneers may use the franchise tag to hold onto free agent wide receiver Antonio Bryant, they’d like to lock up Buchanon’s services with a contract extension. That organizational desire was described as a “high priority” for new General Manager Mark Dominik.
While last year’s first-round draft pick, cornerback Aqib Talib, intercepted four passes as a rookie and seems to have a bright future, the Buccaneers are reportedly concerned that veteran starting cornerback Ronde Barber’s play is beginning to slip.
According to an unnamed source cited by Pro Football Weekly, Barber may play a less significant part in the defense next year as he heads into his 13th NFL season.
The St. Petersburg Times reported last March that the Buccaneers had broached the prospect of a hammering out a contract extension with Buchanon. Per NFL.com, he registered 52 tackles and two interceptions with one touchdown last season.

Wizard of Oz Costume
There’s no place like home (in quarantine)
|Costume type:||Costumes for Families|
This homemade costume for families entered our 2020 Halloween Costume Contest.
A word from Jazmine, the 'Wizard of Oz' costume creator:
My entire family dressed up as characters from the Wizard of Oz. The idea came from my mother-in-law’s name, Glenda. It was a spur of the moment idea but it came together wonderfully. We used old clothing from around the house, costumes from thrift stores, and even hand sewed items like the monkeys’ jackets to create this moment. We made costumes for Glenda the Good Witch, the Wicked Witch of the East, the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, the Cowardly Lion, Dorothy, Flying Monkeys, a Munchkin, and Toto!

The Jewess of Toledo Summary
Isaac, a Jew, found himself in the royal gardens of Toledo with his two daughters, Rachel and Esther. Realizing that the king was about to visit the gardens and that no Jews should be there during the royal outing, he urged his daughters to hurry from the gardens. Rachel laughingly refused, declaring that she would stay and see if the king was as young and handsome as she had heard. Isaac answered that Rachel was like her mother, for his second wife had found the Christians charming and had had eyes for nothing but fine clothing, jewels, and banquets. Esther, on the other hand, was like her mother, Isaac’s first wife, who had been as good as she was poor.
Rachel sang and danced about while waiting for the king. She told her father that perhaps the monarch would find her charming, would pinch her cheek, and make the queen jealous. Isaac, frightened more than ever, hastened to leave the gardens with Esther.
When King Alfonso appeared, he invited the crowds to draw near him. He explained that the people had made him king while he had been still a child, that they had rallied around him in order to depose his uncle, a tyrant, and that they had then taught him the duties of one who would be just and good. Count Manrique turned to Queen Eleanor and told her of the people’s affection for their ruler. The count declared that the present king was the noblest of all who ever ruled in Spain, turning aside petty criticism with wisdom and justice. The king, half jesting, replied that he might be an even better king if he were forced to overcome some fault. He suggested that the protection of the people might have kept him from developing the moral strength a ruler should have.
The king also urged everyone to enjoy the respite between wars, for the Moors were about to start another attempt to invade Spain. He called his wife’s attention to the English-type garden he had ordered; he was disappointed that she had not noticed it.
A messenger, Don Garceran, the son of Count Manrique, brought news of the military preparations being made by Jussuf, the ruler of Morocco. Don Garceran was making his first appearance before the king since being assigned to a frontier post for having stolen into the women’s quarters of the palace to view Dona Clara, his betrothed.
When the king suggested that the peasants pray to God for victory, Don Garceran replied that the churches were crowded, such was the religious zeal of the people. One sign of mistaken zeal, however, was the rough treatment sometimes given the Jews.
As the king was vowing to protect the Jews and all other of his subjects, he received word that a Jew and two girls were being pursued by the guards. Rachel came running to the group for protection. When Queen Eleanor refused to take her hands, she threw down her bracelet and necklace as ransom and clasped the king’s knees. King Alfonso asked Esther, who had joined them, whether Rachel was always timid, and Esther replied that her sister was often too bold, too much the clown. The king, attracted by Rachel, ordered Don Garceran to shelter her in one of the garden houses until night, when there would be no danger of mob action.
After Don Garceran had escorted Isaac and his daughters to a shelter in the garden, the king accosted Don Garceran, questioning him about the family, praising the Jews for their long history, and begging for information about the art of casual love. Isaac, scolding his daughters for not attempting to leave, came from the garden house. He told Don Garceran that Rachel was her old self again, laughing and singing, and amusing herself by dressing herself as a queen with some masquerade costumes she had found.
Vowing Don Garceran and Isaac to silence, the king entered the garden house in time to observe Rachel, dressed as a queen, pretending to address a portrait of Alfonso which she had removed from its frame. In the role of the queen, Rachel accused the king in the portrait of having been attracted to the Jewess. The...

In Spark AR Studio, you can use the Patch Editor to add colorful gradients to materials. This is a great technique for building backgrounds and adding colored filters to a scene.
Before you can add a gradient to your effect, you'll need to add an object to your scene and create a material for it. To build the examples on this page:
To make a gradient with 2 colors, you'll need a Gradient patch and a Mix patch. To create these patches, right-click in the Patch Editor and select them from the menu. Change the data type for the Mix patch to Color, using the dropdown menu a the bottom of the patch.
Set the starting color of our gradient by adjusting the value of the first input in the Mix patch. Set the end color by changing the value of the second input port.
In the Gradient patch, the shape of the gradient is set to Horizontal by default. You can adjust this to either a vertical or circular gradient, by clicking the option inside the Gradient patch:
Use the Gradient Step patch to create multicolored gradients, where a series of colors blend together.
The first gradient step patch in your graph will create a 2 color gradient. Each Gradient Step patch you add after that will add another color to the gradient.
To build a multicolored gradient with 4 colors, right-click in the Patch Editor and select 3 Gradient Step patches from the menu, and a Gradient patch.
Connect the patches, so your graph looks like this:
You can set colors for the gradient by clicking the boxes next to Previous Step, and New Color. Adjusting the Start Range and End Range in each Gradient Step will define where each color starts and ends.
A simple and effective way to add a colored filter to you scene is to simply adjust the Opacity of the material.
You could combine this technique with segmentation to show the gradient in the background of the effect only, or add different gradients to different parts of the scene.
Signed distance field patches can be used to make shapes and patterns.
In the example below, we’ve used the SDF Star patch to create a star shape. A Mix patch combines the SDF star patch with a gradient, and connects it to the Diffuse Texture property of a material applied to a particle system in the scene.
We added the gradient using a Gradient patch, and a second Mix patch. We added the colors for the gradient to the Mix patch, and connected it to the first input in the other Mix patch, to connect the gradient to the stars.

What is anticipated to be the crown jewel of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) over 11 years in the making, the first screenings of Avengers: Endgame had local residents, fans, and movie lovers arrive at the Cineplex Theatre as early as 11:30 a.m.
.@CineplexMovies in Prince George is crawling with @Avengers fans awaiting to get inside for the city’s premiere of #Endgame 💥 This was the scene 30min before the doors opened | #CityOfPG @PGMatters pic.twitter.com/9KRxHXQ9Lk— Kyle Balzer (@KyleBalzer) April 26, 2019
Just before the doors opened, the line-up got to as long as 100 people backed in the Parkwood Plaza all the way to London Drugs.
Prince George resident Daniel Darbon was that first fan in line at the doors and has waited on this movie since the events of Infinity War one year ago.
“It really means a lot because I put a lot of time and effort into being out here,” he told PrinceGeorgeMatters. “Everybody is having a good time and we certainly have since we showed up. We brought lawn chairs and watched movies. We had Spider-Man going on the iPad, we had a Bluetooth speaker; we tried to watch Infinity War, but then everybody else started showing up.”
Daniel Darbon, aka “the real StarLord,” was 1st in line for Prince George’s premiere of @Avengers at 11:30AM; he says he’s waited for this moment ever since Iron Man came out in 2008 | #CityOfPG #Endgame @PGMatters pic.twitter.com/OcMnUkk8Wt— Kyle Balzer (@KyleBalzer) April 26, 2019
Like many at the Prince George premiere, and in other cities around the world, Darbon showed up dressed as his favourite Marvel character StarLord, played by Chris Pratt in Guardians of the Galaxy.
“Well, I actually am StarLord,” he said, allegedly joking. “That’s definitely my favourite of all the movies they’ve made. I have very high expectations for this one [Endgame]; it’ll be a great movie.”Other notable character sightings were Thor, Spider-Man, Drax the Destroyer, Mantis, Scarlett Witch, Black Panther, and Captain America, along with fans wearing clothes in tribute to the MCU.
Darbon has been to other movie premieres in the northern capital and is pleased to see the city celebrate the franchise with him and his friends.
The first showing for Avengers: Endgame is 6 p.m. today (April 25), 6:30 p.m. for you 3-D enthusiasts.

Healthcare, an indispensable facet of our lives, goes beyond just treating illnesses; it encompasses a broad spectrum of services and industries dedicated to maintaining and improving our overall well-being. In this article, we’ll delve into the evolution, components, challenges, and the transformative impact of technology on healthcare. Join us on this journey through the intricate world of healthcare.
Evolution of Healthcare
Historical Perspective Healthcare has evolved significantly over the centuries. From traditional healing practices to the establishment of formal medical institutions, the journey has been marked by continuous adaptation to the needs of society.
Technological Advancements The twenty-first century has witnessed unprecedented technological advancements in healthcare. Innovations such as robotic surgery, advanced imaging techniques, and breakthroughs in pharmaceuticals have revolutionized patient care.
Key Components of Healthcare
Hospitals and Clinics These are the frontline establishments where individuals seek medical attention. The varied services provided, from emergency care to specialized treatments, make hospitals and clinics central to the healthcare ecosystem.
Healthcare Professionals The backbone of the healthcare system, professionals such as doctors, nurses, and technicians play crucial roles in delivering quality care to patients.
Pharmaceutical Industry Responsible for developing and manufacturing medications, the pharmaceutical industry contributes significantly to healthcare by providing solutions to various medical conditions.
Challenges in Healthcare
Access to Healthcare Disparities in healthcare access persist globally. Whether due to geographical remoteness or economic constraints, addressing these disparities remains a formidable challenge.
Rising Healthcare Costs The escalating costs of medical services and medications pose a burden on individuals and governments alike, calling for innovative solutions to make healthcare more affordable.
Technology in Healthcare
Telemedicine Especially relevant in recent times, telemedicine leverages technology to provide remote healthcare services, ensuring accessibility and convenience for patients.

Physical Activity Regular exercise not only aids in weight management but also promotes cardiovascular health and reduces the risk of chronic diseases.
Integrative Approaches to Healthcare
Holistic Medicine Taking into account the mind, body, and spirit, holistic medicine emphasizes the interconnectedness of various aspects of health for a comprehensive approach to well-being.
Integrative Health Practices Combining conventional and alternative therapies, integrative health practices offer a more personalized approach to patient care, considering individual needs and preferences.
Future Trends in Healthcare
Precision Medicine Tailoring medical treatment to an individual’s genetic makeup allows for more effective and targeted interventions, marking a shift towards precision medicine.
Genomic Medicine Advancements in genomics open new frontiers in understanding and treating genetic disorders, paving the way for personalized genomic medicine.
Personalized Healthcare Plans The future holds the promise of healthcare plans tailored to individual health profiles, optimizing preventive care and treatment strategies.
Global Collaboration in Healthcare
International Health Organizations Collaboration between nations and international health organizations is essential for addressing global health challenges, fostering information exchange and resource sharing.
Sharing Medical Research and Resources Pooling resources for medical research and sharing knowledge accelerates progress in finding solutions to pressing healthcare issues.
Support Groups Communities often provide a network of support groups for individuals facing specific health challenges. These groups offer emotional support, shared experiences, and valuable insights into managing conditions.
Local Health Initiatives Community-driven health initiatives, such as vaccination drives, health camps, and awareness programs, are instrumental in addressing localized health issues. These initiatives empower communities to take charge of their health.
Navigating Healthcare Disparities
Addressing healthcare disparities is a pressing concern globally. From unequal access to medical services to disparities in health outcomes, there is a need for concerted efforts to bridge the gap and ensure healthcare equity.
Access to Medical Services Ensuring equal access to medical services involves addressing geographical barriers, improving transportation infrastructure, and establishing healthcare facilities in underserved areas.
Health Literacy Promoting health literacy is crucial in overcoming disparities. Educating communities about preventive measures, early detection, and the importance of seeking timely medical attention enhances overall health awareness.
Affordability of Healthcare Financial constraints often hinder access to healthcare. Implementing policies that make essential medical services affordable and providing financial assistance to those in need are vital steps toward reducing disparities.
The Human Connection in Healthcare
Amidst the technological advancements and systemic structures, the human connection remains at the heart of healthcare. Compassionate care, effective communication, and patient-centered approaches contribute immensely to positive health outcomes.
Compassionate Care Healthcare providers who prioritize compassionate care create an environment where patients feel understood and supported. This human touch enhances the healing process and fosters trust between patients and healthcare professionals.
Effective Communication Clear and empathetic communication is essential in healthcare. Ensuring that medical information is conveyed in an understandable manner helps patients make informed decisions about their health. Patient-Centered Approaches Putting the patient at the center of healthcare decisions acknowledges their preferences, values, and unique circumstances. This personalized approach enhances the overall quality of care.
Virtual Health Consultations Telemedicine and virtual consultations have become increasingly prevalent, providing a convenient way for patients to access medical advice without the need for physical visits.
Remote Patient Monitoring Technological advancements enable healthcare providers to remotely monitor patients’ vital signs and health indicators. This real-time data allows for proactive intervention and personalized care.
In conclusion, healthcare is a multifaceted and dynamic field that continually evolves to meet the ever-changing needs of society.
