How to read this chart
Perhaps you are overwhelmed with the complexity of the charts. If so, look no further. Here you will find an analysis of the most important, and perhaps most confusing, chart columns. Heck, perhaps you will even find the meaning of life.
The section listed below shows three areas of the chart.
1. Magnification (Zoom)
2. # of seconds for Stabilization of your weapon
3. Stopping Power.
Let’s do the easiest first. The first two columns are the magnification power for each of the sniper weapons. What this means is this: When you are playing the game you may or may not be able to see a small object in the distance. Let us assume that this objectt appears to be 1 milimeter wide, the width of your pencil.
Clearly not identifiable at that size for some players. If you had the M8 sharpshooter in your hand and use used the first zoom function, the object would now be 7.7 mm wide…….approximately the size of a post-it note. If you used the second zoom factor the object would be 14.6 mm wide….probably as wide as your stapler is long. This is the major advantage of the sniper rifles.
The next set of columns, the dark blue, light blue, and peach, reflect how fast the pips close on each weapon. The pips are the portion of your crosshairs that expand when you move or fire your weapon. They are a general representation of accuracy of your weapon at any given time. For example, when you are motionless and not firing your weapon, the “pips” are closed. This roughly equals the hit area of your first round.
When you move your soldier your pips spread apart, usually very wide. The amount of time it takes for your weapon to stabilize from running is the peach column. The M8 sharpshooter takes 1.67 seconds for the pips to close. This can be a LONG time to wait when you find and engage a target. Even the quickest Marksman weapon takes 1.3 seconds to close, still a long time.
When you fire your weapon the "pips" widen, illustrating that if you fire another shot right away your weapon could be pointed in any number of directions….and will 99% of the time miss the target. These “pip” closure times are shown in the blue columns. Weapon stabilization is different if you fire while zoomed in once, twice, or not zoomed in at all. This is the disadvantage of marksman rifles. As the player you will need to weigh how long to wait before firing your next shot. If you don’t wait until the pips are closed you risk a miss.
Also keep in mind that an injured solder will have a much longer stabilization time. Hence, an injured sniper is severely limited by his stabilization time.
This is the average number of shots it takes to kill a solder. All of the rifleman, gunner, grenadier, and sniper weapons are identical in terms of stopping power. Not maybe, not sometimes…….THEY ARE ALL EQUAL. Of course this excludes explosives and pistols. Now, there is a damage variable, and this chart is shown at the bottom of the weapons chart. More discussion on that later. For now just be aware that for every weapon, assuming you hit an enemy in the stomach, you have an 80% chance to kill him in one shot. If you hit him in a limb or head this changes this probability.
The section listed below shows three areas of the chart.
1. Accuracy, single shot,
2. Accuracy, burst fire, and
3. Accuracy, full auto fire.
This section is pretty easy once you get the hang of it. Each of the weapons when fired has a bullet pattern. Highly accurate weapons will have a very small, often described as “tight” hit pattern. For example, a marksman weapon, even at long ranges, has a very small area where the shots actually hit…..therefore, if your crosshairs are centered on a target, you will hit the target. For players that use weapons other than sniper rifles it is possible, and highly likely at long ranges, that when we fire our weapon, we will miss.
ACCURACY SINGLE SHOT
For purposes of the testing here the table represents the relationship of the hit pattern of a weapon (The hit area) compared to the surface area of a soldier standing at said distance. For example, if we were using the M16 on single shot, saw an enemy in the distance at 130 meters, waited for our pips to stabilize (see above for stabilization) the soldier standing in the distance only fills 59% of the M16 hit pattern. This means that 59 out of 100 identical situations when I fire, I will hit the target. Approximately 41% of the time I will miss from this distance. Of course this assumes I had my reticule centered on the target and my enemy was a standing solder. This tends not to happen due to human error AND the fact that my enemy will probably be crouched, prone, or behind some kind of cover with only part of him showing.
ACCURACY BURST FIRE
The table above also shows the burst fire accuracy in peach. It is important to remember that when I see a target and have my weapon on burst fire, that first round out of my weapon will follow the rules for single shot accuracy (the blue column) but my next shot will track with the peach column. Is a weapon more effective on burst fire or single fire? That is up to you..
ACCURACY FULL AUTO FIRE
The table above also shows the full automatic fire accuracy in green. Again, much like the burst fire it is important to remember that when I see a target and have my weapon on full auto fire, that first round out of my weapon will follow the rules for single shot accuracy (the blue column). My next two shots will track with the peach column (burst fire), and my remaining shots will follow the green full auto column.
The chart also includes table notes and other helpful information. This section includes information on grid distances, the “damage variable”, and other information. As this information is self explanatory I will let it stand on its own. However, please allow me to explain the “Stopping Power Table – Torso Hits”.
The stopping power table shown here In green is an important concept to grasp. The table shows statistically what a probability a hit has of killing a solder. For example, the chart shows that with the first hit on a solder, assuming it is a stomach hit, will result in incapacitation 80% of the time.
Almost all of the time the second round finishes off the target. It can be seen here that there is only a 2 to 6% chance that the target will survive the second hit. Similarly, the third round will always finish the enemy off.
Now clearly, if you hit an enemy in the head, your probability of a one shot kill go up dramatically, but there still is a possibility that this will not incapacitate the solder.
Conversely, should you hit the enemy in a limb, it will probably take you more shots to kill the target, but not necessarily. For example, it is very possible to kill a solder by hitting him in the foot with one shot. However, odds are that it will probably take more than one foot hit to kill him or her.
Pistols are considerably weaker, especially the silenced pistols. Please see the chart for an explanation there.
There is a significant damage variable in the game. This can be seen in the table as shown and described above, but can be more clearly observed in limb hits. It is possible to set up a little test. If we play three yellow solders against one blue soldier in a squad sharpshooter match, we will find that the blue solder, shooting yellow enemies in the leg, will take 260 rounds to kill 100 soldiers. While performing the test you will note that some times one shot kills. Other times it takes as many as 9 shots to kill the target. This is a pretty big variation by statistical standards. But there is another aspect of this randomness that can be observed. If we re-do the exact same test, it is quite possible to end up with a much different number than 260 rounds. For example, when this test was done again in this case, this time it took only 200 rounds. A third test revealed all 300 rounds of ammunition was used without killing the required 100 enemy targets. Keep this in mind when you seem to hit a target repeatedly without taking him out.

The 2010 Lexus RX 350 knows its role—comfortable family transport—and performs it well. As long as you don't expect sports-SUV performance, you shouldn't be disappointed by the latest RX Lexus.
Edmunds reviewers report that the 2010 Lexus RX 350 gets last year's 3.5-liter V-6 "and it's only rated for 5 horsepower more and 6 pound-feet of torque more than last year's version made at the same rpm. So that's 275 hp at 6,200 rpm and 257 lb-ft of torque at 4,700 rpm."
Despite the Lexus RX 350's hefty curb weight—front-wheel-drive versions weigh over 4,300 pounds—reviews read by TheCarConnection.com show that the engine performs capably on the road. Road & Track notes that the RX Lexus offers "satisfying thrust—0-60 mph comes in 7.4 sec." Cars.com also raves about the engine, finding that their test 2010 Lexus RX 350 "[charged] strongly up hills without the 3.5-liter V-6 feeling burdened."
The real improvement on the 2010 Lexus RX 350 comes in the power delivery department, where reviewers love the new six-speed transmission. Edmunds calls the six-speed "excellent," noting that it "offers shifts that are as quick as they are smooth." Cars.com concurs that it "is very well-behaved; during slow or steady acceleration it changes gears smoothly, but when you press hard on the gas pedal it delivers quick, firm shifts that match the urgency of the situation." Car and Driver has good news for drivers seeking a more engaging experience; they report that the automatic has a "manual shift control" feature. As for drive wheels, front-wheel drive is standard, while Road & Track says that "all-wheel drive is optional, and now uses a clutch pack to shuttle torque rearward as needed."
Fuel economy isn't much to brag about on the Lexus RX 350, though it’s par for the course in this class. The official EPA estimates for the front-wheel-drive Lexus RX 350 are 18 mpg city and 25 mpg highway, while the AWD clocks in at 18/24 mpg. If you're interested in the RX Lexus lineup but want a more fuel-efficient alternative, check out the 2010 Lexus RX 450h, which TheCarConnection.com covers in a separate review.
The 2010 Lexus RX 350 gets a few performance modifications that increase responsiveness and overall drivability without sacrificing ride comfort. Compared to the previous Lexus RX 350, Edmunds says that the 2010 version "has a better feel for the road," with "less body roll" and "better [steering] weighting than the old hydraulic-assist rack." MotherProof is equally impressed, noting that "there's absolutely no roly-poly sensation, even on twisty roads during what we'll call 'spirited' driving." Braking performance is commendable, and Cars.com praises the "natural response" of the brake pedal on the 2010 Lexus RX 350.

This paper presents an digital dual-mode-structure repetitive control approach for the single-phase shunt active power filter (APF), which aims to enhance the tracking ability and eliminate arbitrary order harmonic. The proposed repetitive control scheme blends the characteristics of both odd-harmonic repetitive control and even-harmonic repetitive control. Moreover, the convergence rate is faster than conventional repetitive controller. Additionally, the parameters have been designed and optimized for the dual-mode structure repetitive control to improve the performance of APF system. Experimental results on a laboratory setup are given to verify the proposed control scheme.

A Tale of Two Patriotisms
New nationwide research conducted in October and November 2017 reveals two different definitions of patriotism operating in America today, confusion and lack of confidence in what it means to be patriotic, and a desire for leaders to actively bring the country together.
"The findings revealed a fissure in our culture, opportunities to rally around patriotism as a shared value, and also concerns about fluid definitions. They suggest that we are more divided than ever – and neither the left nor the right is content to cede patriotism to the other.” --Anne Sorock, Executive Director of Ear to the Ground
While Americans believe the country is becoming less patriotic, they view themselves as patriotic – not their neighbors:
- Only 22% of Americans surveyed said they strongly agree they would feel safe wearing a “Make America Great Again” hat.
- 13% say patriotism is on the rise while half of the nation believes it is waning. (About one-quarter say it is stable, and one-tenth “don’t know.”)
- Most of the respondents (59%) characterized themselves as “extremely” or “very” patriotic.
- Conservatives are more likely to perceive a drop in patriotism in America (62%) than Moderates (49%) or Liberals (36%).
- Slightly less than half (46%) “completely” embrace the idea that they “feel proud to be an American.”
- 74% of adults say their political views are not “clear and unchanging.”
The responses of conservatives and liberals as well as varying age groups revealed divergent attachment to, and definitions of, patriotism:
Patriotism Attitudes: Conservatives vs. Liberals
- 65% of conservatives say is it “completely accurate” to say they are proud to be American; 37% of liberals feel the same way.
- 18% of liberals would prefer to live in another country, compared to 5% of conservatives.
- Overall, Freedom of speech was considered the most meaningful of the components of patriotism tested, with nearly nine out of ten adults (87%) saying it was very meaningful to them, personally.
- Liberals were 20 points less likely to consider citizenship personally very meaningful and 27 points less likely to assign high value to the right to bear arms. They were even less likely to attach meaning to the American flag (30 points less), the pledge of allegiance (33 points lower), the national anthem (36 points lower), and the Bible (38 points lower). This is reflective of the substantially different worldviews held by conservatives and liberals.
While most Americans consider themselves to be suitably patriotic, they do not have similar feelings about the patriotism of many well-known individuals or organizations – and the divide between liberals and conservatives once again revealed itself:
Top 5 Patriotic Brands: Conservatives
Top 5 Patriotic Brands: Liberals
- Overall, the National Rifle Association was considered “very patriotic” by a plurality, 33%; the same percent said the National Football League’s Colin Kaepernick was most strongly understood to be “not at all” patriotic.
- Asked which from a list of brands was “very patriotic,” Conservatives gave the NRA the highest ranking, Moderates the U.S. Supreme Court, and Liberals the Democrat Party. Planned Parenthood was one percentage point behind the Democrat Party in Liberals’ estimation of “very patriotic” brands.
- All three groups gave relatively similar – and low – patriotism scores to the U.S. Supreme Court, the U.S. Senate, and the U.S. House of Representatives.
Finally, with regards to perceptions about the experience of “being American,” there was a major distinction between the views of conservatives and liberals:
- Conservatives were more likely than liberals and moderates to believe that basic freedoms are under attack in America today.
Conservatives were less likely than both liberals and moderates to believe that our most visible political leaders are doing little to bring the country together; that the US does not have a widely-shared vision of our future for people to rally around; and that things are so divided these days that it is no longer possible to bring the nation together.

- August 24, 1902 France
- November 28, 1985 (aged 83) France
- Subjects Of Study:
- Europe Mediterranean Sea Ottoman Empire Spain historiography
Fernand Braudel, in full Fernand Paul Braudel, (born Aug. 24, 1902, Luméville, France—died Nov. 28, 1985, Haute-Savoie), French historian and author of several major works that traversed borders and centuries and introduced a new conception of historical time. As leader of the post-World War II Annales school, Braudel became one of the most important historians of the 20th century.
Braudel’s family was descended from Lorraine peasants. The son of a schoolteacher who later became a headmaster, Braudel acquired a cosmopolitanism unusual for his generation. After studying in Paris at the Lycée Voltaire and the Sorbonne (now part of the Universities of Paris I–XIII), he taught for nine years at secondary schools in Constantine and Algiers, in Algeria (1923–32), where he developed his fascination with the Mediterranean as a prime subject of history. He returned to France to teach at secondary schools in Paris (1932–35) and afterward taught at the University of São Paolo in Brazil (1935–37) before joining the École Pratique des Hautes Études in Paris in 1937. His mentor was the noted early modern historian Lucien Febvre, under whose influence Braudel shifted his dissertation from a conventional study of Philip II’s Mediterranean diplomacy to a grand examination of the “complex totality” of the Mediterranean region in the late 16th century.
While serving as a lieutenant in the French army in 1940, Braudel was captured by the Germans. During his next five years in prisoner-of-war camps in Mainz and Lübeck, with his phenomenal memory his main resource, Braudel produced drafts of the massive work that established his international reputation, La Méditerranée et le monde méditerranéen à l’époque de Philippe II (1949; The Mediterranean and the Mediterranean World in the Age of Philip II). First submitted as a doctoral thesis to the Sorbonne in 1947 and subsequently published as a two-volume book, this geohistorical study centred not only on the conflict between Spain and the Ottoman Empire in the 16th century but also on the region’s history, geography, religion, agriculture, technology, and intellectual climate.
After World War II Braudel emerged as Febvre’s protégé and heir. He became codirector (with Febvre), then director of the journal Annales: économies, sociétés, civilisations (1946–85) and was elected professor at the Collège de France in 1950 (a position he held until 1972). In 1956 he succeeded Febvre as president of the Sixth Section of the École Pratique des Hautes Études; under his direction it became a leading centre for social science and historical research. In 1962 he founded and administered the Maison des Sciences de l’Homme. Thanks to the centralized character of French higher education, Braudel’s dynamic figure dominated historical scholarship in postwar France. A generous mentor, he also aided numerous historians from southern and eastern Europe, South America, and Africa, further extending his influence over international scholarship. He received more than 20 honorary foreign doctorates, gave his name to an international research centre at the State University of New York at Binghamton (opened 1976) in the United States, and was admitted to the prestigious French Academy in 1984.
Under Braudel’s direction the Annales school acquired a global reputation for promoting a new form of history. It replaced the study of leaders with the lives of ordinary people and supplanted the hallowed trio of politics, diplomacy, and wars with inquiries into climate, demography, agriculture, commerce, technology, transportation, and communication, as well as social groups and mentalities. Annales history further challenged the reductionism of the Marxists and the structuralism of the social sciences, its main competitors at the vanguard of postwar historiography. It aimed at a “total history” that relied heavily on quantification and also yielded dazzling microstudies of villages and regions. Braudel’s most significant contribution was his three-tiered view of historical time. Conceived while he was in captivity in 1944, it consisted of very long, practically immobile environmental time (the longue durée); the medium time of economies, societies, and cultures; and the short time of discrete events (the subject of histoire événementielle). Far from a simple flow, human experience was registered on all three clocks, operated with speed-ups and delays, and left a vast range of physical as well as mental traces.
Testing his concepts, Braudel produced a giant, three-volume study of the world between the Middle Ages and the Industrial Revolution, based on a three-tiered arrangement of its material foundations, economic functioning, and capitalist developments, Civilisation matérielle et capitalisme, XVe-XVIIIe siècle (vol. 1, 1967; vol. 2–3, 1979; Civilization and Capitalism, 15th–18th Century). (The titles of the three individual volumes are Les Structures du quotidien: le possible et l’impossible [The Structures of Everyday Life: The Limits of the Possible], Les Jeux de l’échange [The Wheels of Commerce], and Le Temps du monde [The Perspective of the World].) Incorporating geography, sociology, and economics, Braudel produced a sweeping study of the evolution of the European and world economy, encompassing an immense span of human activity and development. A nonrigid structuralist, Braudel acknowledged variations in the systems he constructed and admitted complexities that belied the most rigorous analysis. Despite the mass of detail, his was a unified vision, and he wrote in elegant prose. In his final, unfinished, three-volume work, L’Identité de la France (1986; The Identity of France), he applied the geohistorical method to his homeland, presenting a history that favoured the physical mutations of its diverse regions over the unruly lives and thoughts of their inhabitants.
Like all who treat huge subjects and periods, Braudel often relied on others’ scholarship; his zeal for detail revealed occasional gaps and misinterpretation. Because he minimized the importance of political and military power in human affairs, Braudel was blamed for the apolitical stance of the postwar Annales school and its members’ reluctance to study contemporary history or engage in the moral and ideological issues of the Cold War era. Nevertheless, his reputation as a prodigious scholar and discipline builder remains secure.

The holidays have only just begun for many children but families are being warned not to leave uniform shopping to the last minute because of potential shortages of official school blazers and jumpers.
The specialist retailer School Uniform Direct, which supplies scores of UK schools, has written to thousands of customers urging them to place orders for branded clothing as soon as possible.
In a repeat of last year, the clothing company said it had been advised by its manufacturers that retailers were experiencing delays getting stock into stores because of disruption related to the coronavirus pandemic.
“We are currently in a strong position; however, not completely immune from the circumstances across the globe,” School Uniform Direct said in an email to customers. “We are asking parents and guardians to place their orders or come in-store as soon as possible. This will help ensure they receive uniform in time.”
Many families delay buying school uniforms until the last minute for financial reasons or to avoid being caught out by a summer growth spurt.
However, financial concerns loom large before the next academic year because of the squeeze on household finances caused by rising food, fuel and energy bills.
“It’s not like fashion, where you can predict X number of sales and it doesn’t matter if you sell out,” says Alex Gani, a director of the London-based family clothing firm. “With school uniform you need to have stock in all sizes.
“If we get everyone in early, then we start to see in our own stock holdings where there are shortages, and then we can fill those now and get stock levels up to a sustainable level, and then be able to manage those people who come to us at the last moment.”
The warning of shortages comes as the government faces calls from within the specialist industry to help with the cost of living crisis by abolishing VAT on school-specific uniforms, such as branded polo shirts, jumpers and blazers.
The Schoolwear Association has launched a petition to get the government to scrap what it calls the “school uniform tax”.
Clothing and shoes for young children do not attract the sales tax. However, for older children’s school uniforms, as well as all other clothing and shoes, the full standard VAT rate of 20% kicks in on products for age 14 and upwards.
The Schoolwear Association’s research estimates that removing VAT from compulsory school clothing would save each family with a child over 14 close to £20 a year.
Matthew Easter, the association’s chair, said scrapping the uniform tax was a “no-brainer” in the current climate, with the cost to the Treasury of abolishing it in England put at about £13m a year.
VAT is levied on non-essential goods, yet the overwhelming majority of schools require their students to wear a uniform, Easter said. “School uniforms therefore have to be considered as essential,” he said. “As the tampon tax was abolished in January 2021 because sanitary wear is essential, so should VAT on school uniforms.”
On the subject of shortages, Easter, who runs the school uniform brand Trutex, said: “Like many industries, global supply chains have been a nightmare this year for a variety of reasons, and stuff has been delayed – there is no doubt about that.”
However, he added: “I don’t think there is going to be a big supply issue from uniform specialists because we all hold stock all year round anyway. So even if new stock has not come in in time, there should be enough stock in the system.”

Leronica Tegiet [ 201 BG-108 BG] was a serving woman in a tavern of a Caladan fishing village and love interest of Vorian Atreides. Her complexion was brown and her eyes the color of dark pecans. In an indefinable way, she reminded Vor of Serena Butler.
Leronica was the daughter of Brom Tergiet, a deep-sea boat captain, but Leronica was not fond of that work and chose a different path. She bought a tavern. A Caladan man, Kalem Vazz, fell in love with her, and twice proposed her for marriage, but she denied him.
When Vorian Atreides visited Caladan to establish a League base, under the moniker of 'Virk', he flirted with her. Eventually they had a brief affair, and she was left pregnant, before Vorian had to leave the planet.
Two years later, she believed Vorian would never come, and agreed to marry Vazz, before she gave birth to the twins of Vorian, Estes and Kagin, after Vazz' grandparents. Vorian did send her letters and presents through the Jihadi space lines that supplied the outpost, however Leronica did not reply back.
After about 8 years of marriage, Vazz was killed by Elecrans in the Caladan Sea. But it was not long before Vorian visited her again, while testing one of the new spacefolding ships of VenKee Enterprises. On a subsequent visit, Leronica was with Vorian when he received the news of Iblis Ginjo and the Tlulaxa slavers from Xavier Harkonnen, delivered by Quinto Paolo.
Life with VorianEdit
In the following years, Vor sent her with the twins to Salusa Secundus. They never married. For some time she obtained relative longevity by consuming spice and stood as young as possible like Vorian, until she denied it. She lived a simple life on Salusa. She liked to manufacture fishing quilts showing life from Caladan, while waiting for Vorian to return home from the battles. She also donated surplus money to causes such as underprivileged children.
She died some days after Vorian returned from Parmentier.

In a devotional study based on 1 Timothy 6:6, Pastor Colin Smith of Unlocking the Bible examines various pitfalls of material wealth. Why is Godliness with Contentment Great Gain? recalibrates our perspective on`our possessions.
It’s that time of year! But before you adopt a Bible reading plan that you’ll abandon once you hit Leviticus, consider John Chester’s approach in Reprise: You Don’t Need A Bible Reading Plan; You Need A Philosophy, which appears in Parking Space 23. Personally, I probably won’t implement all his suggestions, though I heartily agree with his overall concept.
Sometimes, however, people really need the accountability of a definite reading plan. For such people, Denny Burk offers A Plan to Read through the Bible in 2018 that may help. I’m not certain I agree 100% that we must read the entire Bible each and every year, but we should do so more often than not in order to gain context. The plan Burk recommends might encourage you to overcome any fears of tackling Genesis through Revelation this year.
Still undecided on how you’ll read God’s Word in the New Year? Michelle Lesley of Discipleship for Christian Women links to a wide variety of Bible Reading Plans for the New Year – 2018 for our consideration. Whether we choose one of these plans or adopt a philosophy of Bible reading, make it your priority to stay in Scripture regularly and systematically, remembering that it’s the very Word of God.
Abigail at Hope and Stay reflects on resolutions in her essay, A New Year’s Invitation: Resolved, to Tear My Heart to Shreds. She rightly convicts me to examine my own progress in killing sin.
Returning to the topic of Bible reading plans, Leslie A of Growing 4 Life introduces The G4L 2018 Bible Reading Challenge by explaining why Bible literacy is so important. Even if you have already selected a reading plan, her insights on the priority of spending time in God’s Word deserve attention.
As I’ve said before, the Church needs more people like Elizabeth Prata who boldly declare the truth! In her essay, Doing my best to puncture the balloon that Ladies Ministries try to inflate for The End Time, she takes on the self-esteem teaching that so many popular women teachers propagate.

On April 9, 1981, the Los Angeles Dodgers, led by manager Tommy Lasorda, began their season with high expectations. The Dodgers wound up meeting those, going on to defeat the New York Yankees in six games to win the 1981 World Series.
Several months prior to that, a 20-year-old Mexican native took the mound on Opening Day for his first career Major League start. Fernando Valenzuela had thrown 17.2 scoreless innings over 10 relief appearances with the Dodgers in 1980, but he remained relatively unknown going into the 1981 season.
That did not last long though, as Valenzuela spawned the ‘Fernandomania’ phenomenon, beginning with an Opening Day start in which he threw a complete-game shutout against the Houston Astros. L.A. didn’t exactly break out their bats, but came away with a 2-0 victory.
Valenzuela went 8-0 with a 0.50 ERA, 68 strikeouts and eight complete games through his first eight starts. He went finished the season 13-7 with a 2.48 ERA, 11 complete games and eight shoutouts. He led all pitchers with 180 strikeouts that season.
Valenzuela was named the 1981 National League Rookie of the Year and NL Cy Young Award winner, and he also won a Silver Slugger Award. Mike Piazza, Corey Seager and Valenzuela are the only Dodgers to win Rookie of the Year and a Silver Slugger Award in the same season.
Valenzuela was a six-time All-Star during his tenure with the Dodgers, and was part of a second World Series championship team in 1988. Though, he was unable to pitch that postseason due to injury.
In his 17-year Major League career Valenzuela won 173 games and yielded a 3.54 ERA. He was inducted into the Mexican baseball Hall of Fame in 2014.
Valenzuela is still involved with the Dodgers organization as a Spanish-language commentator. He was honored during the first homestand during the 2019 season as the first giveaway was a Fernando Valenzuela replica jersey.
Dodgers manager suspended
Also on this day in Dodgers history, Brooklyn manager Leo Durocher was suspended for one year by MLB commissioner Happy Chandler for a wide range of actions deemed detrimental to baseball, including association with known gamblers.
Durocher returned to manage the Dodgers in 1948, which was his last season before becoming skipper of the New York Giants.

Last Year, States Enacted 92 Abortion Restrictions, Shattering Records
2011 was not a good year for reproductive rights. According to a new report from the Guttmacher Institute, nationwide provisions aimed at reproductive health and rights reached record high levels last year, and the majority of them restrict abortions.
From the report:
In the 50 states combined, legislators introduced more than 1,100 reproductive health and rights-related provisions, a sharp increase from the 950 introduced in 2010. By year’s end, 135 of these provisions had been enacted in 36 states, an increase from the 89 enacted in 2010 and the 77 enacted in 2009.(Note: This analysis refers to reproductive health and rights-related “provisions,” rather than bills or laws, since bills introduced and eventually enacted in the states contain multiple relevant provisions.)
The new provisions present a serious threat to abortion access:
Fully 68% of these new provisions—92 in 24 states—-restrict access to abortion services, a striking increase from last year, when 26% of new provisions restricted abortion. The 92 new abortion restrictions enacted in 2011 shattered the previous record of 34 adopted in 2005.
According to the report, abortion restrictions took many forms, including bans, waiting periods, clinical regulations, changes in insurance coverage, and sick bullying: five states adopted provisions requiring women to see or be described an ultrasound of their womb, prior to obtaining an abortion.
For more on the nationwide legislation targeting women's reproductive rights, read the report.

Bosworth blames attorney Arends for illegal signatures
Former U.S. Senate candidate Annette Bosworth blamed bad legal advice from her former attorney for the 12 election law felonies she is now facing.
In a news conference Wednesday at her medical office, Bosworth's spokesman said Joel Arends told her to submit petitions she had falsely sworn were signed in her presence.
Arends was the Bosworth campaign attorney, in addition to being Bosworth's personal attorney, a campaign adviser and a friend.
"Because of Joel Arends' advice, Dr. Bosworth was indicted," said Lee Stranahan, Bosworth's current spokesman.
Arends did not immediately return a call seeking comment. But Patrick Davis, Bosworth's former campaign manager, said she was wrong about Arends' role.
"Anybody who knows Dr. Bosworth for even five minutes would know she takes advice from no one," said Davis. "She did not get advice from anyone about signing those petitions."
Bosworth sat next to Stranahan as he delivered a long indictment of Arends' involvement, and afterward confirmed she stood by his remarks.
On June 4, the day after she lost the Republican U.S. Senate primary, Bosworth was charged with six counts of perjury and six counts of filing a false or forged document. All the charges relate to her nominating petitions. Bosworth signed some of those petitions as the circulator, which includes an oath that they were signed in her presence. But Bosworth has admitted that at least a few of those signatures were made when she wasn't there.
All the charges are Class 6 felonies, with maximum penalties of two years in prison and $4,000 fines. Because the offenses are low-level nonviolent felonies, Bosworth is extremely unlikely to receive any prison time.
Bosworth is scheduled to make her initial appearance on the charges on Monday in Hughes County.
Arends traveled with Bosworth on a mission trip to the Philippines in early January -- a trip at the heart of her current charges, because she later said some South Dakota voters had signed her petitions in her presence while she actually in the Philippines.
"Joel Arends is someone she was very close to," Stranahan said. "This betrayal has hit her on an emotional level which makes it very difficult for her to deal with."
Bosworth has made conflicting statements concerning Arends' role in the signatures. In an April 17 radio interview, Bosworth said her attorney checked her nominating petitions before she submitted them. But the next day, her campaign released a statement saying that was in error and she hadn't consulted an attorney.
Today, Bosworth retracted that retraction. She said she signed that statement at Arends' request even though it wasn't accurate.
Asked why she signed a document she knew to be false, Bosworth said she has "asked myself the same question."
"I regret signing it," Bosworth said.
After alleging Arends had given Bosworth bad legal advice, Stranahan on Wednesday went further and suggested he had done it for political reasons.
Arends is an attorney for the Rushmore PAC, a political action committee that supported Bosworth's rival Mike Rounds in the Republican primary. Stranahan said Bosworth hadn't known about this connection until partway through the campaign, when fellow candidate Stace Nelson told her.
"At worst, Joel Arends' behavior gives he appearance he may have been an inside man, illegally coordinating with Mike Rounds and Marty Jackley," Stranahan said.
But Davis said this charge was also wrong. At the very first meeting of the campaign, Davis said, Arends disclosed to him and Bosworth his connection to the Rushmore PAC.
"He said, 'Because of that, I can't be involved in a day to day basis with the campaign,'" Davis said. "She knew, before day one of the campaign, that he was involved."
Davis himself has connections with the Rushmore PAC. In May 23, the PAC paid him $600 for consulting.
Jackley, the state attorney general who is overseeing Bosworth's prosecution, has received political support from the Rushmore PAC. Bosworth alleges Jackley is prosecuting her for political reasons. Jackley denies the charges and says he has no conflict of interest.
Bosworth's campaign paid Arends' law firm $20,000 on April 15, according to her most recent campaign finance report. It's unclear if she has made any further payments to Arends or owes him any additional money. Arends was in attendance at Bosworth's election night party.

You may have been wondering what I have been up to during the beautiful month of September. Well, I’ll spill the beans! It’s nothing too exciting, I promise. I have been occupying my time with creating decor mood boards thanks to the fall season inspiration and the possibly of me attending interior design schooling.
I cannot express to you how much I have seriously been loving neutral colors lately; they are so gorgeous and underrated! We usually see bright colors as the treasured gems but I am beginning to see white as the real gem. It can go with any color, patter, accent, theme. It’s so versatile and yet so clean and lovely!
The only thing white doesn’t go with is little dirty hands! But, I suppose you could say that it’s one way of cherishing those little finger prints for forever.
Anyways, in the picture above you’ll find my neutral farmhouse mood board where I found most of the products at Pottery Barn, Target, Hobby Lobby, Amazon, and Etsy. Of course, another great place to look is Pier 1. I’ll be sharing more mood boards in the future since I have made quite a few of them during my lazy hours!
So, in no particular order…

April 16th, 2012
April 16th, 2012
On February 23, 2012, I appeared before the national media to speak in response to the important issue of “Robocalls” in the 2011 general election. At that time I expressed my personal outrage along with the outrage of the caucus of the official opposition upon learning about the serious allegations of electoral fraud.
In making my statement on February 23, 2012, I singled out a private individual, Mr. Matt Meier along with his business RackNine Inc. and I wrongfully accused them of being part of a conspiracy to commit electoral fraud. In the days following, I repeated this accusation a number of times to the media and on national television. My party, the NDP, also raised concerns about the possibility of RackNine having committed electoral fraud through postings on its website. The NDP indicated on the party website that if news reports that seemed to draw a link between the calls and RackNine were true, these activities were prohibited by the Canada Elections Act and merited investigation.
I now know that the statements I made insinuating Mr. Meier’s and RackNine’s participation in an electoral fraud conspiracy were wholly and unequivocally false. In my rush to express my personal outrage and the outrage of the NDP caucus, I jumped to conclusions I now know are unsupported by fact. I would like to take this opportunity to correct several of my errors in order to clear Mr. Meier’s personal reputation along with the business reputation of RackNine.
I apologize for any damage my statements may have caused to Mr. Meier personally or to RackNine, and I have been specifically authorized by the NDP to apologize on behalf of the NDP for any similar damage the publications on the NDP website may have caused.

But he’s off to a rocky start.
Emails obtained by the AJC show Randy Knighton contacted Wilson Nov. 23 about a detailed orientation program he was arranging for newly elected officials, and wanted to coordinate with him. In his reply, Wilson took issue with Knighton waiting three weeks after the Nov. 2 election to contact him, calling it “unacceptable,” and questioned the city administrator’s ability to do his job.
“I would like to know if this is a job you are really going to be able to execute at a high level for the city of Roswell and this incoming city council and mayor?” Wilson wrote.
The AJC held a video conference call together with Wilson and Knighton Thursday in which the mayor said he was wrong and wants to reset.
Wilson said he wrote the email out of frustration and not receiving a call or note from Henry following the election.
“I was frustrated knowing a transition needed to take place,” he said. “I was wrong. It was a bad email on my part. It was poorly written. It was a poor response ... When I’m wrong, I’m wrong.”
Social media reaction to Wilson’s email, along with messages to the AJC from residents, range from “concerned” to “appalled,” and describe the content of the mayor’s note as “bullying.”
After posting the emails on its Facebook page Tuesday, Roswell Truth received nearly 60 comments. Wilson said he, too, has received text messages about his email.
“What concerned me the most is that he is treating this man as his inferior,” Resident Bo Turchin said via email to the AJC. “He isn’t even in office, and telling another human being that he is incompetent for not congratulating him quick enough.”
During the Thursday video conference with the AJC, Wilson sat with Knighton in a City Hall boardroom and apologized to the city administrator, adding that he hadn’t done so before that time.
Similar to Wilson, Knighton is also new to his Roswell position. He was hired after a split City Council vote approving his employment in September. Opposing council members said they wanted the hire delayed until after the election.
Wilson said he has told Knighton that he wished the city manager had waited until after the election to accept the position, but he supports him.
“There is no predisposed thoughts about the firing of Mr. Knighton,” Wilson said. “There never was on my part. There never will be. It will simply be based upon Mr. Knighton’s ability to get things done ... to execute at a high level.”
Knighton told the AJC that while city administrators are hired in a political environment, he was brought to the city for his experience, knowledge and ability to lead.
“I see so much potential here,” Knighton said. “I’m looking forward to an opportunity to serve the mayor and city council and ultimately the citizens of Roswell, to write that next chapter in Roswell’s history. Hopefully in about a year ... we will be able to talk about all the things that have been accomplished.”

South African model and media personality Sarah Langa has revealed that she made her first million after divorcing her ex-husband, Jehan Mackay.
Ms Langa made the revelation while responding to fan’s question on Instagram.
Sarah Langa and her ex-husband, Jehan Mackay, a multi-millionaire businessman, got married in 2016 in a colourful wedding ceremony. After barely three years of marriage (two years and 10 months), Jehan Mackay filed for divorce in September 2019.
He reportedly became irritated with Sarah Langa’s obsession with social media and asked her to move out of his house.


Americas: Government, ELN six-month bilateral ceasefire to take effect in Colombia
Sectors: all; oil and gas; transport; electricity
Key Risks: terrorism; insurgency; violent crime; targeted attacks; kidnapping
In Colombia, on 3 August a six-month nationwide bilateral ceasefire agreement – announced on 9 June – between President Gustavo Petro’s government and the leftist National Liberation Army (ELN) guerrilla group is set to take effect. On 9 June head of the ELN delegation Pablo Beltran stated that kidnapping and extortion – main funding sources for the guerrilla’s operations – would not necessarily cease under the agreement. This, along with the group’s decentralised structure, will pose significant challenges to the full and successful implementation of the deal. Although the risk of ELN attacks on infrastructure – particularly oil pipelines – and security force personnel and assets has the potential to gradually decrease under the agreement, such risks will persist. Should the ceasefire be successful, it will serve as a model for similar agreements with other illegal armed groups as part of Petro’s efforts to achieve ‘total peace’.
Asia Pacific: Political violence in Bangladesh escalates ahead of January 2024 general election
Key Risks: political instability; civil unrest; violent clashes; arbitrary arrests
In Bangladesh, since 29 July over 700 people have been arrested over clashes between opposition Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) supporters and security forces as well as the ruling Awami League supporters amid BNP-led opposition rallies in and around the capital Dhaka. At least 20 police officers were reportedly injured as tens of thousands of participants attended one of the largest opposition rallies in recent months. Clashes were observed in Nayabazar, Dholaikhal, Jatrabari, Matuail, Uttara and Abdullahpur across Dhaka division. The show of force aimed to push for the resignation of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and for the forthcoming January 2024 general election to be held under a neutral caretaker government. The clashes came amid increased international scrutiny and concerns over election-related violence. More opposition rallies are planned in the coming weeks and further clashes are likely.
Eurasia: Azerbaijan continues to block humanitarian convoy to Nagorno-Karabakh
Key risks: war on land; civil unrest; humanitarian crisis
In Nagorno-Karabakh (NK), on 26 July Baku refused Yerevan’s convoy delivering humanitarian aid to the breakaway region to pass through the Lachin Corridor – the only road connecting Armenia and NK. Baku officially blocked the corridor on 15 June, but traffic on the road had been limited since December 2022 when Baku-linked activists first blocked it. The blockade has caused severe food shortages in NK. On 25 July Yerevan announced plans to send 360 tonnes of groceries. Baku claimed that the move was a “provocation” and an “attack on Azerbaijan’s territorial integrity”. Tensions soared after Baku moved to establish a checkpoint on the corridor, triggering border clashes and protests in NK. Baku’s latest move risks aggravating the humanitarian crisis in the region.
Europe: North Macedonia on path to continue EU accession process
Key Risks: economic; political stability
In North Macedonia, on 30 June the Democratic Union for Integration (DUI) – the largest party representing the Albanian ethnic minority – offered to withdraw its seven ministers from the government. The move appears aimed at unblocking the approval of constitutional changes which include the recognition of the Bulgarian minority. Attempts to approve the amendments – which Skopje agreed on in July 2022 in exchange for Bulgaria lifting its veto on North Macedonia’s EU accession talks – have been blocked by the main opposition VMRO-DPMNE nationalist party. In June VMRO-DPMNE indicated that it would be willing to vote for the amendments if DUI left the government and new elections were held. DUI conditioned the withdrawal of its ministers on VMRO-DPMNE approving the constitutional amendments. Skopje can only continue EU accession talks after the constitutional amendments are approved.
MENA: Rival Palestinian factions meet for reconciliation talks in Egypt
Key risks: political stability; political violence
In Egypt, on 30 July representatives of rival Palestinian political factions, including the West Bank-based Palestinian Authority (PA) – controlled by Fatah – and Gaza-based Hamas, gathered in the coastal town of al-‘Alamayn for reconciliation talks. The administration of the Palestinian Territories remains split since the Fatah-Hamas conflict in 2006, which saw a Hamas legislative election victory. Other minority groups – such as the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) and the Palestinian Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) – boycotted the meeting to denounce the detentions of some of their members by PA security forces in the West Bank. The talks aim to unite Palestinian groups and outline a roadmap for Palestinian elections with hopes of forming a unified government. However, reports indicate that Fatah and Hamas remain far apart in the negotiations, with significant disagreements on armed resistance and the structure of the PA.
Sub-Saharan Africa: ECOWAS threatens military intervention after Niger coup
Key Risks: war on land; political instability
In Niger, on 26 July a spokesperson for the Nigerien Air Force announced that soldiers – calling themselves the National Council for the Protection of the Homeland (CNSP) – had deposed President Mohamed Bazoum, dissolved the constitution, suspended all institutions and closed the country’s borders. The announcement came hours after troops from the Presidential Guard surrounded the Presidential Palace in Niamey and detained Bazoum and several ministers. On 30 July the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) regional bloc demanded that Niger return to constitutional rule within the week, failing which the bloc would consider military action against Niamey. There is a high likelihood that the CNSP will offer some concessions such as releasing Bazoum, announce a palatable transitional timetable and provide guarantees to protect foreign commercial interests and citizens. In turn, ECOWAS will likely maintain sanctions but call off an intervention.

A FEW HOURS after
Ray Ray McElrathbey made three tackles in Clemson's 54--6 victory over Florida
International last Saturday afternoon, he and his 11-year-old brother, Fahmarr,
were shopping for frozen pizzas at a Bi-Lo near campus when a stranger
approached. "Is this your brother everyone is talking about?" the
wide-eyed fan asked. Told by Ray Ray that he was, the fan replied, "I'm
really pulling for you two."
have a lot of people pulling for them now. Ray Ray, a 19-year-old redshirt
freshman cornerback, assumed temporary custody of Fahmarr in August. Their
mother has battled an addiction to crack cocaine for a decade, and they aren't
in contact with their father. "With [my mom's] past problems we thought it
would be better to have Fahmarr with me," says Ray Ray. "I'm still
getting used to the whole parent thing, like being asked by teachers what my
child's strengths and weaknesses are. But we're going to make it work."
After his final
school bell rings, Fahmarr typically gets a ride--from one of Ray Ray's
teammates or classmates--to the Clemson football office, where he does his
homework before heading to the practice field. Then Fahmarr and Ray Ray, who
makes sure his teammates don't curse in Fahmarr's presence, will hop on a motor
scooter and head to their off-campus apartment, where they usually spend the
evening together. "Everyone on our team treats Fahmarr like he's our own
little brother," says Gaines Adams, a senior defensive end who has bought
school supplies for Fahmarr. "We take him to the mall and watch movies with
him. He's a great, great kid, and he's brought us closer together as a
After The Post and
Courier of Charleston ran a story on Ray Ray and Fahmarr in August, the paper
received many offers to help the McElrathbeys financially. But because Ray Ray
is on scholarship, NCAA rules prevent the McElrathbeys from accepting any gifts
or money. "Fahmarr, who goes to the same school as some of the coaches'
kids, can't even get a ride to school by any of the coaches' wives because [the
NCAA] thinks that's an extra benefit," says Ray Ray. "I think I should
be able to start a trust fund for my brother."
Clemson has asked
the NCAA to waive its extra-benefits rule, and Ray Ray is hoping for a
favorable ruling later this week. The NCAA has a chance to do the right
thing--just as Ray Ray is doing right now.

This is my second year as a middle school Teacher-Librarian. During my time in this position, I have learned that library orientation for middle school students is most successful when there is less talking and more doing. Kids also love it when the “doing” can incorporate some kind of technology. So, I designed and used a QR Code Scavenger Hunt to teach my students about the most important parts of the library. Last year, I presented a Power Point before the students began the QR code hunt. This year, however, as I thought about less talking, more doing, I decided that the majority of orientation would involve students learning about the library through the scavenger hunt. So, I scrapped the PowerPoint and incorporated some of the items from that presentation into the hunt.
How does a QR code scavenger hunt work? First, students need to have access to smart devices with cameras and a QR scan app. We used iPads. As I created the scavenger hunt, I turned websites, pictures, and videos into QR codes using a QR code generator site such as http://qrcode.kaywa.com/. I designed my hunt to cover a variety of the areas in the library while also trying to expose students to the most important things I thought they needed to know as library users. Students shared an iPad and worked in pairs, but each student turned in a completed hunt. They used the clues on the scavenger hunt handout (Follow this link to see the handout). to find items and QR codes in the library. Then, whatever they found or scanned (some items did not have a QR code) was used to answer the questions on the hunt. For the tasks with a code, I hung large, printed QR codes in the appropriate areas of the library and labeled them with their number from the hunt. After finishing (overall, the hunt took about 30 minutes for this year’s 5th graders), we talked about some of the answers, and I added details when necessary. At the very end, students had about 15 minutes for check-out.
Both this year and last, I worried about whether or not this type of orientation would crash and burn or be successful and fun. I experienced a few technical difficulties with codes that wouldn’t scan, but I was able to make some changes at the last minute that worked and kept the tasks on the hunt basically the same. Just in case, I also created a back-up scavenger hunt that didn’t involve QR code scanning. Plus, I spent at least 5 minutes demonstrating how to scan QR codes and handle the iPads before the students began the hunt. Despite my worries, both years of doing this type of orientation resulted in happy, productive kids, who scored really well when I graded their hunts (I always offer to grade the scavenger hunts for teachers). More than once, I heard “This is so much fun!” and was excited to see that students didn’t have any trouble staying on task. Even though I might not always use QR codes in library orientation, I will always try to design an orientation activity that allows students to be active learners.

Judges on Wednesday dismissed the Government’s appeal against two High Court judgments which found the DWP Secretary had unlawfully discriminated against thousands of severely disabled people by slashing their benefit top-ups worth £180 a month.
Tessa Gregory of Leigh Day, the law firm that represented the two men involved in the legal battle, said the ruling “should be a wake-up call for the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions”.
The freshest exclusives and sharpest analysis, curated for your inbox
“The Government states that Universal Credit is protecting the most vulnerable but that has not been the experience of our clients who faced a dramatic reduction in their monthly income when they moved onto the new benefits system and, when that was found to be unlawful. were offered a monthly top-up which didn’t even cover half of that loss.”
Disability equality charity Scope said the ruling showed Universal Credit was “in desperate need of an overhaul”.
The case involved two men, known only as TP and AR, who received the Severe Disability Premium (SDP) and Enhanced Disability Premium (EDP) under the legacy benefits system to cover the extra living costs they faced as a result of having severe disabilities.
However when they moved home to a new local authority area, they were put on Universal Credit and found their benefit income had reduced.
TP, a 54-year-old man with terminal non-Hodgkin lymphoma, and AR, a 38-year-old man who suffers from severe mental health issues, both received around £180 a month less as a result of moving on to the scheme.
The premiums are not available under Universal Credit if claimants are moved over to the new system through natural migration – when a change in circumstance results in a new benefits claim – rather than managed migration, which offers transitional protection for benefits and therefore honours the premiums. It is believed that 13,000 people with severe disabilities have been left worse off after moving to Universal Credit.
TP and AR launched legal action against the DWP over the premiums. In June 2018, the High Court found that the way the scheme was implemented was unlawfully discriminatory because it treated a person who moved to another local authority less favourably than those who moved within their local authority.
Mr Justice Lewis later ruled that the two men were entitled to receive thousands of pounds in compensation for past financial losses, as well as for mental suffering, distress and anxiety.
The DWP subsequently tried to ensure people with severe disabilities would only be moved to Universal Credit through managed migration, which would protect their premiums, and offered compensation to those already affected. However the rate of recompense was just £80 a month – significantly less than the amount lost.
Along with a third claimant, the two men then won a second High Court battle in May 2019 after complaining that the reduced level of benefit was discriminatory.
The DWP sought to appeal both judgments but increased the top-up payments to £120 per month, which is also expected to be challenged through the courts.
On Wednesday, Sir Terence Etherton, the Master of the Rolls, Lord Justice Singh and Lady Justice Rose dismissed the Government’s appeals and found that the High Court was not wrong to hold that the discrimination was unjustified and unlawful.
The judges said: “We emphasise again that in these appeals we are concerned only with the position of the respondents and those in a similar position to them. These appeals do not concern the validity of the UC scheme as a whole.”
Ms Gregory said she hoped the Government would not waste more time or resources fighting the ruling. She called on ministers to protect “acutely vulnerable” claimants and overhaul Universal Credit “to make it fit for purpose”.
AR said: “We hope that the Court of Appeal ruling will finally bring an end to our fight for severely disabled people not to be disadvantaged by Universal Credit. It is still so shocking to us that we have had to fight so long and so hard just to get the government to see that their policy is unfair.”
James Taylor, head of policy and campaigns at Scope, told i the charity had heard from disabled people who were clear that losing the “vital” premiums could have “disastrous effects on their finances and lives”.
“We’re calling on the Government to reinstate disability premiums and make Universal Credit work for disabled people,” he added.
The DWP said: “We will continue to make transitional payments to those previously receiving the Severe Disability Premium where eligible, and have already paid £51.5m to more than 15,000 people. We are carefully considering this judgment.”

As every speaker said, this election comes down to character, experience, and leadership. Each one said, in their own way, "Hands down, McCain is the guy." He has all three traits. His opponent, Mr. Obama, has questionable character (as evidenced by his neighbors and friends), minimal experience (especially in making decisions - "present" is not a decision, it indicates the inability to make a decision); and leadership - well, when has Obama ever showed leadership? Never.
McCain took a gamut of questions from the floor, addressing such topics as: housing, life, veterans, energy, the economy, going after the culprits who caused the financial mess, China, drilling, etc. One group of junior high students asked about drilling offshore, then went into a short dance line to the tune of "Drill, Baby, Drill" to which McCain responded, "You can come on our tour!"
He was so "at home" in this venue. His answers were sharp, quick, humorous. He comes across as the real deal! Frankly, I was surprised at how human and natural he is. We sat about 25' from the center and it was like he was in your living room. IF he could come across on camera like this, his opponent would not have a prayer.
Of course, no Republican event is complete without ever present protesters. This one was no different - about 10 protesters before the session, maybe 7 afterward. As you can see from this final photo - note the signs on the ground - they had more signs than people so they just couldn't display all their "stuff" - gee, too bad.

The Magic of Green
Good day, my dear friends and readers!
Life has captures me as a whole, and I couldn’t get out from the everyday rush. Let’s enjoy some green today, even though on my end of the planet it snowed for the second time. 😉
I’ve been always captivated by the magic of such woods. Don’t you feel magic too?

Between 1998 and 2004, the countries of Latin America advanced in the field of information technology, but there are still chasms to be bridged.
This information was provided by João Carlos Ferraz, director of Productive and Entrepreneurial Development of the United Nations Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC), and is part of a study conducted by the organ.
According to the study, in terms of stationary telephones per 100 inhabitants, the number in Latin America rose from 0.20 in 1998 to 0.30 in 2004. The number of cell phones per 100 inhabitants in the region grew from 16 to 45 during the period.
In terms of Internet users per 100 thousand inhabitants, Latin America went from 0.07 to 0.28, and the number of Internet users per stationary telephone increased from 32 to 90.
The conclusion, Ferraz said, is that Latin American countries are changing, that is, the region’s developing countries are seeking means and initiatives to promote digital and social inclusion, but they still run up against the problem of income, which is small for the purchase of these more sophisticated technological goods.
The ratio between per capita income and spending on telephone services shows that, in percentage terms, Brazil is similar to countries like France and the Netherlands, for example.
“It’s just that the 8% of the GDP that Brazil spends on information and communications technology represents an average per capita outlay of US$ 600 to US$ 700 on ICT (information and communications technology), while in France these expenditures come to US$ 2.5 thousand for each inhabitant.”
Since yesterday, the forms of convergence in the region to make it easier for the population to have access to the new technologies are being debated at the Gloria Hotel, in Rio, during the Latin American and Caribbean Ministerial Conference.
The meeting is in preparation for the second phase of the World Summit on the Society of Information, which will be held in Tunisia in November. The Conference is being organized by the Brazilian government, with advisory support from the ECLAC.
