Lies of the Left – Ep. 437
RATE AND REVIEW this podcast on Facebook. https://www.facebook.com/PeterSchiff/reviews/ High School Students Smeared by Mainstream Media I am still out in Vancouver, British Columbia at the Resource Conference. I will be back in Puerto Rico on Wednesday. But I wanted to take a little time out to record this podcast here in my hotel room to address just one topic. And that has to do with this viral video that was making the rounds early yesterday that purported to show a group of high school students taunting an elderly Native American. As soon as this thing went out, spreading throughout the internet, the conduct of the high school students was condemned by everybody. Fanning the Flames All the celebrities and the media, everybody on the left we out there condemning the actions of these kids. In fact even the school - they were from an all-boys Catholic high school. Of course, there is nothing racist about the fact that the high school was all boys; there are all-girl Catholic high schools. The idea being that maybe you can educate kids better if they are concentrating on their studies, rather than members of the opposite sex. But even the school administrators or the principal came out and said they condemn the conduct of their students and they're going to look into this and that this does not reflect their values. Of course they're very tolerant, they're not racist, they don't discriminate. Maybe they will even expel these boys. Of course, that comment actually helped fuel the fire. This Whole Thing is Made Up I really wish that people would not be so quick to throw people under the bus when confronted by this feigned outrage from the left. This whole thing is just made up. If the government had been skewing this with would be called propaganda. But it is not the government; it is the media elites, it is the left that has concocted a fake story. They have altered the facts to conform to their agenda.
In Bear Markets Rallies Are Corrections – Ep. 436
RATE AND REVIEW this podcast on Facebook. https://www.facebook.com/PeterSchiff/reviews/ It Is Not a New Bull Market The U.S. stock market averages continued the bear market correction - the correction actually extended for another week. We capped a strong week with a strong gain today across the board. But this is a correction. It is not a new bull market. But of course, if you watch stations like CNBC you wouldn't know that. All day today all they kept talking about on CNBC was that the market is now out of correction territory, meaning that it is no longer down 10% from the highs, and so we're no longer in a correction. We Entered a Bear Market First of all, we didn't enter a correction - we entered a bear market. Now, bear markets have corrections, too. They're called rallies, except people at CNBC don't get that. They think the only correction is a move down in a bull market. Now this bull market went on for 10 years, so a lot of these guys don't remember the last bear market, a...
The Eye of the Financial Hurricane – Ep. 435
RATE AND REVIEW this podcast on Facebook. https://www.facebook.com/PeterSchiff/reviews/ The Eye of the Financial Hurricane U.S. stock markets continue to bask in the eye of this financial hurricane. Remember, we ended the hurricane following the September rate hike, and if you recall I titled my podcast, "The Hike that Broke the Camel's Back", and that's what really began the sell-off in the market. We had this horrific fourth quarter, the worst December since 1931. It may have ended up being the worst December ever had it not been saved by that last-minute Santa Claus rally - the biggest Boxing Day (Day after Christmas) rally ever, which followed the worst Christmas Eve in stock market history. The Fed's New Dovish Outlook But we entered the eye when the Federal Reserve came out and rescued the markets by backtracking on their previously indicated path of continued rate hikes and quantitative tightening. In fact, we had a lot of people come out this week from the Federal Reserve to...

Wooing a lady was as fraught in 1795 as it is now, but fortunately for lovestruck early Americans a guide to pick-up lines was published by Isaiah Thomas in 1795. The Lover’s Secretary was filled with ravished hearts, flames of ardent affection and charming power of virtues.
Its full title was as over-the-top as some of the compliments it suggested:
A New Academy of Compliments: Or, The Lover’s Secretary: Being Wit and Mirth Improved, by the Most Elegant Expressions Used in the Art of Courtship, in Divers Examples of Writing Or Inditing Letters, Relating Either to Love Or Business.
The guide suggests such flattery as:
Think it not strange, mistress, if I should speak the truth, and tell you, that I have a long time been broiling on the flames of ardent affection towards your dear self.
I must tell you, that your Perfections have so amazed my senses, and affections that I resolve never to love nor serve any but you.
It must have worked back then.
Isaiah Thomas may seem an improbable publisher for such a book. He was born in Boston on Jan. 30, 1749, and apprenticed to a printer at age seven. In his early 20s he set up shop in Boston where he published the Massachusetts Spy. The newspaper vexed Royal Gov. Thomas Hutchinson, who tried to have him prosecuted. A grand jury found no cause for indictment. Three days before the Battle of Concord, Thomas moved his presses to Worcester. Then he fought the battle and reported on it. A year later he read the Declaration of Independence in Worcester.
But Isaiah Thomas was above all else a printer, and a printer of many things. He published books and almanacs, music (the first in America to use a musical font) and most of the Bibles and school books in the United States. He also built a paper mill and bindery, opened a bookstore in Boston and founded the American Antiquarian Society in 1812. His lifelong ambition, which he accomplished, was to publish a history of printing.
He also married his half-cousin Mary Fowle, in 1779. Whether he consulted a dating guide to win her is lost to history.
Thomas, like many 18th century American printers, published European works for an American audience. The Lover’s Secretary was originally published in England. For tongue-tied lovers, it included a chapter on how to start a conversation, or “To accost a Lady, and enter into a Discourse with her.” Some samples:
Though I have not been so happy to be known to you by any Service, yet the Zeal I bear to your Obedience hath obliged me to come and salute you.
I believe you will not take my Boldness in evil Part, for presuming to come and see you; for it is with a full Intent to serve you.
Another chapter advises on courting a woman on honorable terms. It even has suggested responses:
“Madam, I find so many Perfections in your Ladyship, that I am obliged to honour them with all my power, and offer you my most humble service.
(The proper response: “Sir it is your courtesy and fair language, that would willingly excuse my defects, to make your Sufficiency appear so much the more.”)
Pardon me, Madam, it is the charming power of your Virtues and Merits, which oblige me not only to honour and serve you, but also to desire some share and interest in your affections.”
(Response: “Sir, whatever a Maid may with Honour do, you may request of me; I respect your Quality, admire your Virtues, and wish you a happiness befitting your magnanimous designs.”
Finally, the Lover’s Secretary listed random ‘witty and ingenious sentences’:
The unblown Rose, the Crystal, or Diamond are not more pure than you.
The Sun never met the Summer with more Joy.
I prize your chaste Love above all the Wealth of India.
This witty and ingenious sentence could have been used more often than any of them:
Your Tongue is as smooth as Oil with courtly Flatteries.
Isaiah Thomas died April 4, 1831.

This is a bit late, and for that I do most humbly apologize.
Last December, I decided that this year’s reading challenge would be more of a goal: 30 books read in 2017. I decided against a list of criteria that I need to check off (after finding impossibly titled or colored or themed books); instead, I would focus on what I wanted to read: finishing the Millennium trilogy, reading the newest Robert Langdon novel so I can watch the movie, finishing The Song of Ice and Fire series (when is book six going to be released?!?!), and re-reading some of my favorite books — especially the ones I breezed through when I was a kid:
- A Secret Garden
- A Little Princess
- The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman
- A Year in Provence
- The Tenant of Wildfell Hall
- To Kill a Mockingbird
- Mrs. Mike
And many more that I currently cannot think of.
Also on this “list” is Tolkien’s classic trilogy, of course, but also his companion books as well as The Fall of Arthur and The Legend of Sigurd and Gudrún.
So far, I’ve read 5 of my promised 30 books and, according to GoodReads, I’m two books behind schedule. I’m almost done with Inferno and will probably pick something light or funny as my next one… you know, like Les Misérables or War and Peace 😉 .
As always, if you know of an awesome book that I just have to read, please comment with the title and author!

ADD/ADHD Winter Health, Boosting Fertility, Mental Health , Digestive Disorders & Improving Energy
Our upcoming event, scheduled for Tuesday, November 23rd, will address how can we help our children do their best, with special attention given to ADD/ADHD. You can view the flyer here.
How are we going pull this off?
John Azzarelli RPh.,CNC, a nutritionist specializing in ADD/ADHD, will discuss the connection between nutrition, allergies & neurotransmitters. Dr. John will show us how we can increase our children's attention span, focus and concentration. John will explain how neurotransmitters control our moods, how to know when they are imbalanced, and what we can do - using diet and supplement therapies. He will also explain what foods wreck our kids' (and our own!) ability to think clearly and how to recognize allergies that sabotage our best efforts.
John Azzarelli spends his days tackling issues of nutrition and counseling people with various health concerns. As a pharmacist, John understands and respects how medications work, but uses his skills as a certified nutritionist to help people heal naturally.
Next we will have an interactive session on Brain Gym with Mari Miyoshi, a licensed occupational therapist and Brain Gym consultant. Brain Gym is based on the theory that our brains run best when they are calm and at peace. The biggest impediment to calm, focus and easy learning is stress, and kids are experiencing stress at higher levels than ever. In this highly experiential presentation, Mari will share short, easy to use movements from Brain Gym that integrate stress and make it more possible for our children's brains to experience more peace and calm.
Mari Miyoshi is a licensed occupational therapist and Brain Gym teacher and consultant. She has been teaching parents and professionals Brain Gym to use for themselves as well as their own children/pediatric clients. She loves the holistic nature of Brain Gym and its ability to connect people to the joy of learning, whether it be learning to read or balancing a checkbook. Read more about Mari’s work on her website.
“Focus: What Your Kids Needs to Succeed at School, Work & Life” will take place on Tuesday, November 23rd at Bnos Menachem.
739 East New York.
Doors open at 8:00 with your opportunity to mingle with our professionals.
Program begins at 8:30 sharp.

Increasing number of infected persons across Japan
In recent days, the epidemic situation in Tokyo, Japan has become more severe, accepting mild infections The hotel’s convalescent hotel is also fully occupied. The expert meeting organized by the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare on the 14th believes that the number of newly infected people has continued to increase throughout the country.
Comprehensive Japanese Broadcasting Association (NHK), Asahi TV and other media reported on the 15th that since the lifting of the ban on May 25, the number of infected people in Tokyo has continued to increase, and it is more obvious after June. As of July 14, more than 100 people have been infected daily for 6 consecutive days. In addition to night downtown areas such as nightclubs, collective infections have also occurred in theaters, nurseries, and welfare facilities. The fear of the spread of the epidemic from Tokyo to various parts of Japan has also increased.
In addition, Tokyo’s hotels specializing in the treatment of patients with mild and asymptomatic infections are almost full. Earlier, there were two hospitality hotels in Tokyo, one of which was about to expire, and there is only one remaining to receive the infected person. The person in charge of Tokyo said that before ascertaining a new hotel, people with asymptomatic infections can be recuperated at home.
In response to the current epidemic situation, the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare organized a meeting composed of 15 authoritative experts on infectious diseases on the 14th. The meeting believes that there is a trend of increasing the number of new infections throughout Japan, and the proportion of people with unknown infection routes also tends to increase. The meeting believed that at present, it is a matter of urgency to ensure the rehabilitation facilities and related staff for the mild patients.
According to the latest statistics from the Japan Broadcasting Association, as of the 14th, a total of 23,297 cases of new coronary pneumonia have been diagnosed in Japan, with 984 deaths. Among them, the cumulative infection cases in Tokyo were 8,189.

text: Background Suicide-related behaviours are common in young people and associated with a range of negative outcomes. There are few evidencebased interventions; however, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) shows promise. Internet delivery of CBT is popular, with potential to increase reach and accessibility. Objective To test the effectiveness of an internet-based CBT program (Reframe-IT) in reducing suicide-related behaviours, depression, anxiety, hopelessness and improving problem solving and cognitive and behavioural skills in school students with suicide-related behaviours. Methods A parallel randomised controlled trial testing the effectiveness of Reframe-IT plus treatment as usual (TAU) compared with TAU alone in reducing suicidal ideation, suicide attempts, depression, hopelessness, symptoms of anxiety, negative problem orientation and cognitive and behavioural skill acquisition was undertaken. We recruited students experiencing suicidal ideation from 18 schools in Melbourne, Australia, between August 2013 and December 2016. The intervention comprised eight modules of CBT delivered online over 10 weeks with assessments conducted at baseline, 10 weeks and 22 weeks. Findings Only 50 of the planned 169 participants were recruited. There were larger improvements in the Reframe-IT group compared with the TAU group for the primary outcome of suicidal ideation (intervention −61.6, SD 41.6; control −47.1, SD 42.3, from baseline to 22-week follow-up intervention); however, differences were non-significant (p=0.593). There were no increases in distress in the majority of participants (91.1%) after completion of each module. Changes in depression and hopelessness partly mediated the effect of acquisition of CBT skills on suicidal ideation. Conclusions The trial was underpowered due to difficulties recruiting participants as a result of the complex recruitment procedures that were used to ensure safety of participants. Although there were no significant differences between groups, young people were safely and generally well engaged in Reframe-IT and experienced decreases in suicidal ideation and other symptoms as well as improvements in CBT skills. The study is the first online intervention trial internationally to include young people demonstrating all levels of suicide risk. Clinical implications Integration of internet-delivered interventions for young people with suicide-related behaviour may result in reductions in these behaviours. Further research is needed, but researchers should feel more confident about being able to safely undertake research with young people who experience these behaviours.

Greg's best solo work to date! A mix of Greg's amazing eclectic styles. Most of the tunes were co-written with the brilliant singer-songwriter Michael Muldoon. Add drummer Larry Grano and bassist James East and you've got a gem that's been lifetime in the making. Don't believe me? Listen to the reviewers:
VINTAGE GUITAR MAGAZINE- “A fantastic cover of the Flamin’ Groovies’ “Shake Some Action” featuring Gregory Douglass (a successful similarly named singer/songwriter) and a great whammy workout joins an impressive set of collaborations between the guitarist, now based in San Diego, and singer Michael Muldoon. On electric, acoustic, lead, and rhythm, Douglass’ taste and tone shine. But on slide, he belongs in the ranks of the very best.”
SAN DIEGO TROUBADOUR- “Now, nearly four decades after the release of the monster smash that dominated the airwaves in ’77, Douglass is showing some love again with the release of Flight of the Golden Dragon. A 12-track bonanza, the album is a testament to the power of Douglass’ craft as a songwriter and guitar gunslinger.”

Ever since their introduction in 1972, the S-Class saloons from Mercedes-Benz have been considered the pinnacle of automotive excellence. For most of that time, ownership of an S-Class - at least, of a reasonably recent one - has been symbolic of material success and of restrained yet impeccable good taste. Several other car makers have nibbled at the edges of the S-Class market, but none has produced a viable and lasting alternative to the big Benz. Mercedes-Benz S-Class 1972-2013 charts the evolution and success of the series, from the W116 model, the first to be designed from the ground up as a large luxury saloon, through to the C126 coupe, one of the all-time Mercedes-Benz classic designs.

Great EDC tool for first responders!
Great EDC tool! Unfortunately I lost it within a few days. Will be ordering another one soon. Love this tool!
Lightweight and strong
Looks less useful than it is. Which depending on local laws against self defense could be a very good thing. Definitely gives an advantage in hand to hand combat. Very easy to carry around.
It was good addition to my family's EDC tool list. The women like the way it feels without the bulk of weight or previous self defense tools. Also their are no sharp edges which they like. Thanks for great product with out breaking the bank!
So far,so good.

🔵 Stressball in Blue: Arsenal take out their anger on Chelsea
For many fans, a victory in the derby is more important than the championship. Hopefully the same goes for Arsenal FC fans as the North Londoners are set to claim a tough league title after losing to Guradiolas Man City.
But luckily they still exist: the local rivalry, the fuel in the tank of every fan’s soul. What’s great for Arsenal fans is that there are plenty of rivals in London. Either way, it’s Chelsea’s turn tonight.
And should serve as a stress ball for frustrated Gunners, or so it looks like so far. Two goals from Martin Odegaard (one of which dream hit the bar) and one from Gabriel Jesus gave Arsenal a 3-0 lead at the break.
And when the rival’s failure can be sung about, everything else doesn’t hurt as much.

Because of this case, Lalu was debarred from contesting polls.
A total of 45 persons were named as accused with some being died during trial.
Talking about Fodder Scam case, it goes back to mid-1990s and involves embezzlement of around Rs 1000 crore from the Bihar government treasury at the time of Lalu’s tenure.
Last month, the SC had directed that Lalu Yadav will face trial in all four fodder scam cases. The Supreme Court is also not happy with the CBI for delay in filing appeal against the High Court order in the case.

Bram Stoker on Google
Google Doodle today celebrated Bram Stoker's 165th birthday. It is a great Doodle, with all the main characters of the novel, elegantly displayed in black and white, dominated by Dracula's figure. Anyway you can see it here, I decided to upload it. Dracula is maybe my favourite horror novel, one of the first I read. I discovered more work by Stoker in later years, I still need to read more of him. He wrote great horror fiction before and after his most famous novel and I thought I needed to pay homage to the writer here.


Kayode Fasua in Abeokuta
Nigeria’s leading pharmacist, Prof. Peace Chinedu-Babalola yesterday canvassed precautionary measures to coronavirus away from Nigeria, warning that it could cost the federal government at least $2 billion (about N700 billion) to evolve any new medicine that would cure the virus.
Chinedu-Babalola, the Vice-Chancellor of Chrisland University, gave the warning in an interview she granted THISDAY in Abeokuta shortly after receiving the Kwame Nkruma Award for Scientific Excellence at the AU Summit in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
Chinedu-Babalola said finding cure for the coronavirus, which is the latest epidemic that has wiped off thousands of souls, especially in China, is capital intensive.
While commending the federal government for promising to release N36 million to aid research into killer diseases, she, however, said in the face of lean resources, the government and the citizenry should take utmost precautions to prevent the disease from spreading to the country.
“This is because an equipment needed to embark on research into diseases such as Ebola Virus, Lassa fever and coronavirus could cost as much as N36 million,” she said.
The don, who was the first female professor of Pharmacy at the University of Ibadan, also said, “When it comes to epidemics, Nigerians know how to take precautions. There is awareness in the country and people are taking their personal precautions.
“In terms of government input, government is doing its best. At the various airports, the government has set up various processes to detect the virus. Government is checking those who are coming into the country at the various ports of entries.”
But the don observed that a lot still had to be done in terms of drug discovery, noting that in terms of drugs discoveries, that is another cup of tea. For you to discover drugs and vaccines is not bread and butter.
“Many times, researches have been going on for years. To produce one medicine, it can take us 10 to 15 years. Although, we now have processes that can reduce drug discovery time.
“For us to discover these things, we need to empower research centres. Nigeria needs to inject money to ensure that scientists are working round the clock, testing different viruses so that if one comes up, we can easily detect it, to start with.
“But we should go beyond detection; as a pharmaceutical scientist, when you study the genetics of a disease, when you study the properties of a particular disease or disease agent, we should use it and target medicines, and molecules that can also kill it or cure it.
“We should go beyond diagnoses, we should also empower centres to be able to discover, design and develop drugs. These things take time. It will cost about $2 billion to develop one medicine. Nigeria needs to think seriously about this.”
Chinedu-Peace also made a case for the encouragement of girls and women “to study science and enhance knowledge the more, in the country. I am passionate about women empowerment, because when the chips are down, women bear a lot burden in the family.
“Many times, the mind-set of people is to allow women to take the lesser or the less demanding profession; you find many women in Humanity professions. Women are not always in the decision making levels. You need to promote the participation of girls and women in, science because they can solve problems that affect both men and women.”

The Anti-Racism Collective
The Anti-Racism Collective (ARC) is housed in the Sociology Department at Boise State University. Formed in the Spring of 2021 by professor Dora Ramirez and Tess Valero (graduate student), the mission of the Anti-Racism Collective is to engage with pathways of emergence through collaborative research and activism in the pursuit of social change.
“Anti-Racist” or “Not Racist”
In the most simplest way, a not racist is a racist who is in denial, and an
anti-racist is someone who is willing to admit the times in which they are being racist, and who is willing to recognize the inequities and the racial problems of our society, and who is willing to challenge those racial inequities by challenging policy.
–Ibram X. Kendi The difference between being “not racist” and antiracist
You can watch some lectures and get more information about our events on the ARC Instagram: @the.anti.racism.collective!

OPINION: Christchurch feels like a city under attack.
So much of its central business district has been demolished that its streets are unrecognisable, even to those of us who have spent most of our lives here.
The inner-city area within the Four Avenues is described by locals increasingly in terms of a war zone. Comparisons with Kabul or Baghdad abound.
Citizens are in a state of shock and many avoid the CBD altogether, grief-stricken at how much of their city has been destroyed – not by earthquakes, but by order of the Canterbury Earthquakes Recovery Authority (Cera).

I'm not sure when I started becoming lactose intolerant. I used to LOVE milk. My mom only bottle fed us with cow's milk as infants. And as a kid, I would drink it plain, with Nesquick chocolate or strawberry powder, pour it over sugary kid's cereals, and dunk my oreos in it. Plus I would drink it at almost every meal. It was my favorite drink. I even posed for a Got Milk ad when I was in 8th grade! I tried finding the ad to post, but I can't find it at the moment. It seemed pretty sudden when I couldn't tolerate milk anymore and then slowly the other dairy items I loved, like ice cream went out the window too. It was a sad day. Every now and then I can eat ice cream if I have a Lactaid handy…but what's the fun in that? :P
Enter Almond milk. It has been a life changer. I never even knew almond milk existed. How could milk come from almonds? I couldn't fathom the process of squeezing any liquid out of a nut…you mine as well tell me to squeeze a rock so I can get a drink of water from it! But then I came across a site that taught you how to make your own at home! And it is really is quite simple. A little time consuming if you don't invest in a cheese cloth (I didn't), but I think I will purchase one next time to make this process a bit easier. We go through at least 1-2 cartons of Almond milk a week. I typically buy the Almond Breeze brand, Almond coconut milk blend. It's delicious! And it's only 45 calories per a cup. You can't beat that!
I did really enjoy this homemade almond milk. It turned out very creamy. And I like that I know exactly what went into it. Almonds and water. But it is easier and probably cheaper to just buy it off the shelf. If I had the time, I would make this again! If you're curious like me and want to make a healthier version of this tasty milk, try this recipe, you won't regret it!
1 cup almonds
2 cups water
optional: sweeteners, coconut milk, other natural flavorings
1. Soak almonds in a bowl of water (enough to cover every almond) for 24-48hrs. (the longer, the more creamy).
2. Rinse almonds with fresh, cold water.
3. Place almonds and 2 cups of fresh water into a blender. Blend for 3-4 minutes. Liquid will turn instantly white.
4. Strain milk to removed almond meal, and remove as much liquid as possible.
5. Strain liquid again with a cheese cloth to ensure full removal of almond meal.
6. Next place almond meal in cheese cloth and squeeze all the liquid out. Keep Almond meal for future baking (if so you can bake it in the oven to remove excess liquid and freeze).
7. Refrigerate almond milk as soon as possible. Because it is not pasteurized, it will expire in 2 days.

The elusive snow leopard will get more attention from the Wildlife Department in Himachal Pradesh as more areas where it has been sighted in the past are being included in the conservation camapaign.
The snow leopard, a graceful golden-eyed animal with thick fur, padded paws and a long tail, is found in the rocky regions of the Himalayas at an altitude of 2,700 to 6,000 metres.
The Wildlife Department had earlier started the conservation campaign in association with the Nature Conservation Foundation (NCF) in Spiti valley where there are reportedly 60-70 wildcats as per initial estimates.
There have also been reports snow leopard sightings in the high reaches of Kinnaur district, the Great Himalayan National Park in Kullu district and Pangi, Bharmour areas of Chamba district.
These areas reportedly have a sizeable population of the snow leopard, apart from high reaches of Jammu and Kashmir, Sikkim, Arunachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand.
“The Wildlife department along with NCF would now focus on an extended area for scientific knowledge, research and conservation of these wild cats,” Additional Chief Secretary, Forests Tarun Kapoor told The Statesman.
Officials of the Forest Department said trap cameras would be set up in high altitude areas of Kinnaur, Kullu and Chamba which would help in counting snow leopards.
Officials would also study the conflict of snow leopard with the human population living around their habitation.
The government is already in the process of setting up a Himalayan Snow Leopard Research Centre at Kibber in Spiti to encourage short and long term studies.
The research and training centre for the wild cat’s conservation will have necessary infrastructure for carrying out state-of-the-art research programmes. The studies would also help the experts find out more about its behaviour, reasons for attacking domestic animals and coming closer to human habitations and its natural prey base.
The research of the Wildlife Department is likely to answer important questions on its population, area needed for each animal as per its age and sex, its range in terms of prey availability, topography and disturbance along with their ability to move across human and natural barriers.
Wildlife experts said the Spiti Valley in Lahaul Spiti district of HP has a sizable population of prey species like the Asiatic ibex, a wild goat species, Himalayan blue sheep and the wolf.This points towards a sizable number of the wildcats in the cold desert area of HP.
Snow leopards have been categorised as ‘Vulnerable Species’ by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) in 2017 and half of its global population is found in China, India and Nepal. Prior to this, IUCN had listed snow leopards in the category of ‘Endangered Species’.
China has the largest population of snow leopards estimated at 2,000-2,500, followed by India with estimated population of 400-700 and Nepal which has over 300-500 f the elusive wild cat species.

Out I wandered, as I often do,
to sit and think and dream
in the dark of night.
I find comfort in the curtain of the sky.
Sometimes I try to count the stars
although I know they are unquantifiable.
This night, however, was different.
When I turned my head up
to begin my enumeration
there were just a few visible
to the frail human eye unaided,
hanging like pearls
strung on an unseeable silken web.
One, two, three…
I counted all I could see.
I wondered for awhile
on why such a small number,
with each so distinctly glowing,
and finally realized what should have been
There was a star, shining,
for every year of your life,
and I smiled to know
that even the cosmos was celebrating
the wonder that was you.

Anderson .Paak operates on his own schedule. Instead of constantly competing with others artists' output, he tends to take his time with his projects to allow himself and his fans to live with the music and let it breathe. Fans were placated most recently with his Oxnard album, dedicated to his birthplace in California.
The FADER invited .Paak to come by the studio to take a look back at his humble beginnings on the drums at a church, the first memorable job he had, and a blind date to Olive Garden that ended before it even started. He ends his trip down memory lane with the first time he knew he could rock with the Free Nationals and the story behind creating "Suede" off of his Yes Lawd! album with Knxwledge.

EquipmentShare secures $26 million in funding to fuel marketplace expansion
EquipmentShare, a leading provider of construction technology solutions that support contractors and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) better manage equipment and make smarter business decisions, has secured $26 million in funding led by Insight Venture Partners and existing investor Romulus Capital. Y Combinator, another existing investor, also participated in the round. With this capital, EquipmentShare will launch its mixed-fleet telematics solution, ES Track, and open peer-to-peer marketplace locations in eight additional US markets.
“We’re honoured to have the continued support of Romulus Capital, specifically managing partner Neil Chheda, who has played a key role in the company’s growth and look forward to drawing from Insight’s expertise and experience,” said Willy Schlacks, President of EquipmentShare.
“Since our founding, we’ve committed ourselves to helping the construction industry become more efficient, lucrative and productive,” said Schlacks. “With this funding, we’re able to spark even greater change in the construction industry by further expanding our rental marketplace footprint and providing contractors everywhere with the telematics data they need to optimize their equipment.”
ES Track is a robust telematics platform built for the construction industry, providing contractors with the ability to track the location, health and use of their fleet in real time, all in one place. ES Track provides in-depth oversight tools and analytics for both contractors and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). Previously available only to EquipmentShare’s marketplace users, ES Track will now be available for contractors everywhere.
“ES Track enables contractors and OEMs to make more informed decisions about their fleets through automated data collection,” said Schlacks. “Not only can contractors automate maintenance and job analytics, but they can also boost the ROI of their fleets by renting their underutilized assets on the EquipmentShare marketplace.”
ES Track will also play a vital role in helping contractors comply with the upcoming ELD Mandate issued by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, which will require all contractors to prove hours of service compliance using electronic logging devices by Dec. 2017. ES Track is a ready-made solution to this mandate and will enable contractors to comply easily while benefitting from ES Track’s innovative analytics and data for their fleets.
“EquipmentShare is quickly emerging as the gold standard telematics-connectivity platform and marketplace for the construction industry, changing the paradigm on how contractors operate their businesses,” said Harley Miller, Vice President at Insight Venture Partners, who will join EquipmentShare’s board of directors. “We are pleased to add EquipmentShare to our portfolio of companies as they continue to outpace the competition and redefine a massive and growing industry.”
EquipmentShare will also use this funding to expand its peer-to-peer marketplace locations. Currently available in four US. cities, EquipmentShare will launch in eight new markets in the South and Midwest in 2017. Contractors in these markets will be able to lend idle equipment for additional revenue or rent equipment at rates lower than traditional rental companies.
“EquipmentShare has become one of the fastest-growing construction technology companies in the nation. In the 18 months following our investment in their seed round, the company expanded into two new markets and developed a comprehensive telematics platform that will benefit contractors on an entirely new scale,” said Neil Chheda, co-founder and general partner at Romulus Capital. “EquipmentShare is a prime example of company that has taken the collaborative consumption model and evolved it into a more meaningful technology business.”
EquipmentShare will continue to expand its suite of solutions to help contractors use technology to more efficiently manage their fleets.


We have all been affected by cancer one way or another in life. Those who survive it, or have been affected by it, thrive to provide support to anyone and everyone who sadly must encounter it. Last weekend, the brilliant Honky-Tonk-Rockabilly band The Honkabillies played at their annual charity event in which they raise money towards Cancer Research, and I was lucky enough to be a part of that wonderful and inspiring night.
The Honkabillies began in 2005. I’ll set the scene, a time before the infamous ‘The Dark Knight’ was released or the period before everyone was glued to their screens and liking, sharing and posting 24/7. Before they coined their brilliant name, the band began as The Doggone Country Band with Frankie Riedel Senior as lead vocalist and founding member. Frankie Senior began taking the band up and down the UK and throughout Germany for gigs. In 2006 Frankie junior joined, which was during the band’s appearance at the Annual Country Music Messe in Berlin.
The band went through many changes until it coined itself as its current incarnation. The current band, since 2016, is a 4-piece line-up including Frankie Senior [lead vocalist and acoustic guitar], Frankie junior [lead guitar, lap steel and backing vocals], Clair Gipps [drums] and Rich Lyon [Double bass]. The Honkabillies try to encapsulate many sub-genres of 1950’s music including: Honky-Tonk, Country, Hilbilly, Rockabilly and Swing and it is definitely clear when listening to them at the Annual Charity gig that they have a perfect blend of these sub-genres which has created something unique yet also homely, something that everyone can enjoy! An inquiry I made to the band was why they had chosen this route of music especially in todays generation, it was fresh to see a younger generation taking on their mother and fathers’ love of 40s/50s music. Frankie junior himself has gone through the rebellious teenage stage and flowed into the metal and punk scene shortly after, always thinking that country wasn’t cool, now he acknowledges that his mother and father’s taste of music is awesome and that you do not need to stick to one music style! Claire Gipps [drums] also commented on the music style of the band, having been raised in a similar environment to Frankie Junior and naturally developed a similar love for her parent’s music! I can tell you that when seeing the band perform live, it is very much a breath of fresh air, a spin on classic music which everyone loves, creating a fun and lively atmosphere throughout the audience. Believe me, you couldn’t stop the people from dancing!
The Honkabillies have always performed at charity gigs, however their annual event which they themselves founded hits home. Frankie Seniors wife, Frankie Juniors mother was diagnosed with Thyroid Cancer a few years back, fortunately, the cancer was caught and removed successfully! In honour of Jacqueline Riedel and Cancer Research the band decided to give something back! Three years ago, Frankie senior suggested the idea of creating the event to raise money for Cancer Research UK and 3 years later, I helped at that very event! As well as the usual 4-piece band, the youngest brother, Billy Riedel also joined The Honkabillies on stage for two songs dedicated especially to his mother, Jacqueline. The night was full of cheers, singing and dancing and was far from something which focused on sadness. The atmosphere of the crowd and the band created such a positive, inviting space, full of life!
To date, the event has made up to £5,000 towards Cancer Research and The Honkabillies plan to head towards 10,000 and beyond in the next few years! There is no limit for The Honkabillies, they want to continue to raise money until they cannot play guitar anymore, hold a drum stick, or sing a tune!
What is most interesting to me, is that the band is a family, meaning times must get tough right? Frankie junior believes that it ‘makes’ or ‘breaks’ a family to work together in such an intense atmosphere as ¾’s of the band is family! In previous years, the youngest brother, Billy Riedel also played drums and double bass for the band on several occasions! Whenever times get tough, Frankie junior recalls the brilliant things that the band has achieved throughout the years and it makes him very proud to say that he has done it all with his family. The band has been fortunate enough to travel across the world to play together in places such as England, Wales, Ireland, Germany, France, Belgium, Switzerland, Norway, Spain, Holland and The USA and experiencing all of that alongside your family members is something the band will never regret!
So, what’s next for the band? The Honkabillies are working on follow-up material to their 2018 4-track vinyl EP and hope to finish off another EP of more original songs. The sky is the limit for these wonderful guys and gal and I cannot wait for next years ‘The honkabillies & Friends vs Cancer’!
Check out The Honkabillies on their various social medias:

Understanding Shareholder Votes
What Is a Shareholder Proposal?
Shareholder proposals are a formal communication channel between shareholders and management. Shareholders were given the right to make recommendations to a company and its board of directors in the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934.
There are several hundred shareholder proposals filed every year. Proposals to be voted on are placed on the company’s Proxy Statement, and all persons and institutions that own stock in the company can vote on the issue.
There are two common types of proposals filed - governance and social. Governance proposals focus on traditional management issues such as executive compensation, board composition, shareholder rights, and voting requirements.
Social proposals call for reports or policy changes on social or environmental issues that can impact a company’s bottom line such as climate change, employee discrimination, toxic products, and sustainability.
Are Shareholder Proposals Successful?
The vast majority of all shareholder proposals are non-binding (meaning the company does not have to comply), but companies with good management values generally respond to the concerns of its shareholders.
As a non-binding vote a majority vote is immaterial* and is not needed for the company to respond to the will of its shareholders. There are numerous examples of companies compiling with the concerns of shareholder proposals.
Sometimes it is just one issue being raised at an individual company – for example a proposal filed by As You Sow at Home Depot asked the company to phase out of selling wood from old-growth forests. The proposal got the support of 11.8% of the shareholders and shortly thereafter, the company announced it would stop selling wood from endangered forests.
Other times it may be the same issue being raised at many companies. Over the years the “Report on Political Disclosure” shareholder proposals has convinced 73 companies to adopt disclosure and board oversight of their political spending. Shareholder proposals calling for sexual orientation non-discrimination helped convince 70% of Fortune 1000 corporations in the US (and 97% of Fortune 100 companies) to bar discrimination in employment based on sexual orientation. And 58 companies have adopted an advisory vote on executive compensation as advocated by the “Say on Pay” proposals.
For decades shareholders have effectively utilized the shareholder proposal process to improve corporate practices on issues ranging from environmental impacts, product safety, and discrimination in employment – thus reducing or eliminating legal, regulatory, or reputational risks to the company and shareholder value.
If Proposals Are Non-Binding, How Do I Interpret the Vote?
Most proxy votes are dominated by company management and a few dozen large financial institutions (who often automatically vote with management) that comprise the majority of a company’s shares. Consequently, it is difficult and extremely rare to get a majority vote on a proposal.
Recognizing this, the SEC requirement for a proposal to receive enough votes to be re-filed for the following year is 3% for the first year, 6% the second year, and 10% the third year.**
While this seems small if measured in the typical electoral sense of receiving a majority vote, shareholder votes are more accurately interpreted in regards to their level of “influence.”
In most cases, an investor with 3% ownership in a company would be one of the top shareholders and thus even single digit votes may gain considerable attention from a company. Social proposal votes more than 10% are difficult to ignore and often result in some action by the company to address the shareholders area of concern. Votes that receive 20-30% or more have garnered strong support from mainstream institutional investors and send a clear cut single to management. Only the least responsive of companies is willing to ignore one out of every three or four of its shareholders.
* = It is rare but there are occasionally binding resolutions filed. The criteria for these depend on a complex set of federal, state and company by-laws.
** = Most people are surprised to learn that the vote is actually about a proposal meeting the SEC threshold to be refilled for the following year (and that a first year proposal receiving 3.1% of the vote is considered a ‘win’ by the SEC standards). Confusion about the vote is further complicated by the fact that the SEC threshold only calculates For vs. Against votes; yet some companies report all the vote category results of For, Against, Abstain and Not Voted – thus giving a deceptively lower figure for the shareholder proposal’s actual vote.

Myasthenia gravis with thymoma is more common in the Maori and Pacific Island populations in New Zealand
Background: The association of myasthenia gravis (MG) with thymoma is well recognized. Our clinical impression has been that MG associated with thymoma may be more common in patients of Polynesian descent than in other races.
Aim: To determine the influence of ethnicity on the association of MG with thymoma in our population.
Method: Review of all cases of thymectomy performed at Greenlane Hospital in Auckland for the 20-year period from June 1978 to June 1998.
Results: There were 103 thymectomies performed in the study period. Fifty-five thymomas were identified, 15 in subjects of Maori or Pacific Island ethnicity and 40 in subjects of other races, predominantly Caucasian. Ten of 15 Maori or Pacific Island subjects with thymoma had MG (67%), compared with 15 of 40 subjects of other races (37.5%, P = 0.05). The mean age of Maori or Pacific Island subjects with thymoma and MG was 42.5 years, compared with 56.3 years in subjects from other races (P = 0.06). All five Maori and Pacific Island subjects with invasive thymoma had MG, whereas only four of 15 subjects (27%) from other races with invasive tumours had MG (P < 0.01). The overall incidence of thymoma and the proportion of thymomas that were invasive did not differ between the ethnic groups.
Conclusions: Myasthenia gravis with thymoma occurs more frequently among Maori or Pacific Island people than in other racial groups in our population. This is due to an increase in the proportion of cases with thymoma who have MG in this group, while the overall frequency of cases of thymoma is similar between groups. MG with thymoma in the Maori or Pacific Island populations also presents at a younger age and is more often associated with tumour invasion. (Intern Med J 2001; 31: 206–210)
