Download Church Leaders in the Third Reich
The Nazi government ushered in key changes to the Protestant churches in Germany. First, the Nazi leadership supported the German Christian movement, a group of Protestants who wanted to combine Christianity and National Socialism into a movement “that would exclude all those deemed impure and embrace all ‘true Germans’ in a spiritual homeland for the Third Reich.” 1.
The Church and the Third Reich During the –30s the German missions of the Church experienced unprecedented success, particularly in the eastern provinces. When the National Socialists, or Nazis, gained control of Germany inChurch members had to become increasingly circumspect. The German Evangelical Church (German: Deutsche Evangelische Kirche) was a successor to the German Evangelical Church Confederation from until The German Christians, an antisemitic and racist pressure group and Kirchenpartei, gained enough power on boards of the member churches to be able to install Ludwig Müller to the office of Reichsbischof in the.
How did Germany's Christians respond to Nazism. In Twisted Cross, Doris Bergen addresses one important element of this response by focusing on theself-described 'German Christians,' who sought to expunge all Jewish elements from the Christian a process that became more daring as Nazi plans for genocide unfolded, this group of Protestant lay Cited by: Six million Jews dead.
The monstrosity of Adolf Hitler's Third Reich remains a stunning chapter in the pages of history. Although the power by which he hypnotized an entire nation is legendary, one question in particular begs an answer: where was the church of Christ. The Third Reich and the Christian Churches is a set of source documents with short introductions by the editor of materials which illustrate the difficult situation faced by the Churches in Germany between the wars.3/5(1).
Throughout the Church Leaders in the Third Reich book Reich, no matter how savagely the many prominent R. Nazi leaders acted, their standing as "good Catholics" was never challenged publicly by their church's leaders until defeat or death had denied those Nazi Catholics the power to retaliate against them.
Nazi Germany is the period when Adolf Hitler's Nazi Party controlled Germany. It is also sometimes called the Third Reich (German: Drittes Reich), which means the 'Third Empire' or 'Third Realm'.

The Concordat was a classic political kickback scheme. The church supported the new dictatorship by endorsing the end of democracy and free speech.
In addition it bound its bishops to Hitler’s Reich by means of a loyalty oath. In exchange the church received enormous tax income and protection for church privileges. So the Church knew what was going on in Germany, but emphasized cooperating with the Third Reich.

Between andthere were six major statements from the leaders of Churches in this country and in Europe (outside the Third Reich) that specifically condemned anti-Semitism and the Nazi persecution of Jews.
In truth, if one does enough research, "Satanism" is a catch-all label for Paganism. "Satan" means 'ENEMY' in Hebrew. 'Satan' is the enemy to the Jewish people. Satan is the God of the Gentiles.
The Leaders of the Third Reich knew this. 'Satanism' is a collective label for Paganism. 'Pagan' means 'Gentile.'. The Role of Clergy and Church Leaders Nazi leaders required the active help or cooperation of professionals working in diverse fields who in many instances were not convinced Nazis.
Church leaders and other members of the conservative elite who were in a position to influence public opinion were all but silent regarding the persecution of Jews. Fest, Joachim C.

The hakenkreuz, or broken cross, became the vivid icon under which Adolph Hitler united his destitute and pride-starved nation.

A business owner has pleaded guilty to two charges of flytipping commercial and household waste near an airport.
Carrington’s Complete Tiling Solutions owner James Carrington, of Carlton Road in Worksop, pleaded guilty to two charges of failing in his duty of care to ensure that his waste was disposed of correctly and failing to produce a Waste Carrier Licence.
In January 2017, a member of the public reported an incident of fly-tipping on Brickyard Road, Gamston, the perimeter of the Gamston Airport. Investigations carried out by Bassetlaw District Council’s Environmental Health Team uncovered evidence including an invoice for Carrington’s Complete Tiling Solutions and other paperwork, which was later linked to an employee of Mr Carrington.
Additional evidence, including a complaint from another member of the public about the amount of building waste that had accumulated on Mr Carrington’s driveway, was linked to the dumped waste after items found at Gamston were confirmed to have previously been on Carrington’s driveway.
Carrington had first been issued with a fixed penalty notice of £300 in November 2017, but refused to pay the fine and was then requested to attend Mansfield Magistrates Court. After pleading guilty he received a fine of £300 and was ordered to pay costs of £1,000 to the council, which includes the cost of cleaning up the fly-tipped waste and prosecution costs.
He was also ordered to pay a £30 victim surcharge, a total of £1,330 – all of which must be paid at £120 per month.
Cllr Julie Leigh, cabinet member for neighbourhoods at Bassetlaw District Council, said: “There is no justification or excuse for fly-tipping and should our environmental health officers secure the evidence that links any individual or business to an act of fly-tipping, we will not hesitate to use all the powers available to us to bring the people responsible to justice.
“I would also like to encourage members of the public to report fly-tipping to the council, especially if you see anyone in the process of dumping waste. Your information will be treated in the strictest of confidence and any evidence provided could help us to secure a prosecution.”
Businesses who transport waste in company vehicles are required to hold a waste carriers licence, issued by the Environment Agency. These licences are free if you only transport waste that is produced by yourself, or costs £154 for other types of businesses.

Maybe you’ve been living under a rock and haven’t heard . . . Paula Abdul now has her own reality show. The judge of “American Idol” is amping up her popularity by showing who she really is in “Hey, Paula!”
Part of me thinks that she has decided to star in her own reality show to disprove rumors that she’s a drunk. If this is the case, than she may want to start pre-screening the film before it’s submitted for her show.
This particular clip showcases Paula in a perfume factory, putting together scents to create her own perfume. It seems as though Paula either took one too many pain pills, had a few martinis, or drank some of the perfume before the cameras started rolling.
This chick’s crazy! She’s stumbling all over the place, slurring her words, and making me laugh. You go, Paula. You go.

District officer moves to Barton hospital
After two decades with Lake Tahoe Unified School District, LeAnne Kankel is taking a position at Barton Memorial Hospital and bringing with her years of experience as a personnel director.
Kankel, who starts work today at Barton as the director of human resources, said she welcomes the change.
“I really had a need to move along and the opportunity came about and I was fortunate enough to get the job,” she said. “I’m very excited to make the change. I look forward to the challenge and being able to stretch my wings and grow a bit.”
Kankel was responsible for all the school district’s personnel issues, including recruiting employees, employee benefits, workers’ compensation, retirement and salary negotiations.
A longtime member of the district’s bargaining team, Kankel said 18 years of cut-throat negotiations took its toll on her.
“That’s something I won’t miss,” Kankel said. “I have been deeply scarred.”
But there are some things Kankel said she will miss about her old job.
“My kids are in the district and I’ll miss that inside knowledge of what goes on with their education,” she said. “And, of course, I’ll miss a lot of the people I worked with.”
The feeling is mutual, Superintendent Diane Scheerhorn said.
“We certainly are going to miss LeAnne and her expertise,” Scheerhorn said. “Twenty years of history with the district, that’s going to be hard to replace. The school district values all of the time she has dedicated over the years and we wish her all of the best in her future career.”
Kankel said she looks forward to some of the extra work attached to her new position.
“I’ll also be responsible for payroll, which I’m not here (at the school district),” she said Tuesday. “So that will be something new to learn. And Barton is self-insured so I’ll get to do that which I’m really excited about. This will be the first time I’m working with a private sector and now I’ll be learning hospital jargon rather than school district jargon. It’s like I’ll be learning a whole new language.”
Judy George, administrative assistant to LTUSD Chief Financial Officer Joe White, said she is proud of Kankel’s accomplishments.
“I have had the great pleasure of working with LeAnne for the past 15 years and I think she is wonderful,” George said. “I sincerely admire and respect her for all the time and effort, not to mention all the blood, sweat and tears, she gave to the district. I’m really going to miss her.”
Lake Tahoe Unified School District Program Specialist Beth Delacour is replacing Kankel as director of human resources on an interim basis.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow to discuss the U.S. peace plan for the Middle East.
Netanyahu made a stopover in the Russian capital on January 30 after visiting Washington where U.S. President Donald Trump unveiled his long-awaited proposals the previous day.
The plan met with wild praise by the Israeli leader but was greeted coolly at the United Nations and European Union and with anger by Palestinians and others.
Meeting Putin in the Kremlin, Netanyahu described his Moscow visit as symbolizing "further strengthening relations" and said he wanted to hear the Russian leader's "insights" about the U.S. peace plan.
"You are the first leader I am speaking with after my visit in Washington for Trump's deal of the century," he said. "I think there is a new opportunity here, maybe even unique opportunity."
The prime minister also thanked Putin for what he said was a "swift" decision to grant pardon to a U.S.-Israeli national jailed in Russia on drug charges.
"We will have a chance to say a few words about our bilateral relations," said Putin, who did not mention the peace plan in his public remarks.
Trump's plan would give Israel control over Jewish settlements on the West Bank and the strategic Jordan Valley and it declared Jerusalem as Israel's "undivided capital."
It also spoke of the possibility of an independent Palestine with its capital in parts of eastern Jerusalem, but set a series of conditions that must be first met by the Palestinians.
Palestinian Authority President Mahmud Abbas immediately rejected the plan as too pro-Israel and said the Palestinians would prefer to continue peace talks with neutral brokers.
Palestinians have said they do not consider Washington to be an impartial player in the decades-long conflict after Trump made what they consider to be pro-Israeli policy decisions.
Russia, meanwhile, has been seeking a larger role in the region and as a mediator between the Israelis and Palestinians in recent years.
Putin met last week with Netanyahu in Jerusalem and Abbas in Bethlehem.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov on January 29 said Russia was "ready to continue to undertake all efforts, do everything it can, to reach a viable peace in the Middle East."
On his flight back to Israel, Netanyahu was accompanied by dual Israeli-U.S. citizen Naama Issachar, who had been released earlier in the day from a penal colony in the Moscow region.
Putin on January 29 pardoned Naama Issachar, who was serving a 7 1/2-year prison sentence for smuggling drugs, on "humanitarian principles."
Issacher was arrested at a Moscow airport in April and sentenced to prison in October for possession of 9 grams of marijuana.
Issachar's fate had sparked a wave of sympathy in Israel, and bringing the 26-year-old home after 10 months in prison was a publicity coup for Netanyahu ahead of March 2 elections.
Israeli TV stations screened live coverage of Issachar's arrival at Ben Gurion airport, near Tel Aviv.

Dear Prime Ministers and Premiers:
CARP is calling on all first ministers to make a clear statement against age discrimination in all its forms by amending your legislation to remove the pension exemption for mandatory retirement.
Today’s Supreme Court decision in the case of New Brunswick (Human Rights Commission) v. Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan Inc., 2008 SCC 45 ruled against an employee who was forced to retire pursuant to the provisions of his pension plan.
The narrow majority [4:3] decision turned on the legitimacy of the pension plan and the dissenting opinion could be read as challenging the constitutionality of the pension exemption contained in most of the provincial human rights codes. At the very least, the dissent emphasized the importance of containing and justifying any limitation on the protection against age discrimination which is the clear intent of the recent amendments to the provincial human rights codes.
The Supreme Court did not specifically rule on whether the exemption [Section 3[a] of the New Brunswick Human Rights Act] was unconstitutional. When ruling directly on the constitutionality of provisions that keep age discrimination in the form of mandatory retirement, judicial thinking [including the dissenting decision in this case] is more in line with most Canadians who expect to keep working in fulfilling careers, regardless of their chronological age.
The Supreme Court was bound by the provincial legislation in this case so CARP urges the provinces and the federal government to amend their law to eliminate age discrimination once and for all.
CARP is a national, non-partisan, non-profit organization committed to advocating for social change that will bring financial security, equitable access to health care and freedom from discrimination; ensuring that the marketplace serves the needs and expectations of our generation and providing value-added benefits, products and services to members; and building a sense of community and shared values among our members in support of CARP’s mission.
Vice President, Advocacy of CARP

HOUSTON — Texas law enforcement was deputized Thursday to track down Texas House Democrats still missing from the chamber and bring them to the state Capitol in Austin, a process that Speaker Dade Phelan's office said: "will begin in earnest immediately."
"Earlier today the House Sergeant-at-Arms deputized members of Texas law enforcement to assist in the House's efforts to compel a quorum," Phelan's spokesperson Enrique Marquez told KHOU's Janelle Bludau who is in Austin covering the Lone Star Showdown.
If lawmakers are arrested, they will not face criminal charges or fines and could only be brought to the House chamber, the Texas Tribune reports.
Thursday afternoon, the Texas Supreme Court overruled Harris County Judges who signed orders to protect Democrats from being arrested for breaking quorum, Bludau reported.
It was the latest move in the legal chess match between Republicans and Democrats over a controversial GOP voting bill that Dems are trying to fight by staying away from the Capitol.
Phelan, R-Beaumont, signed warrants earlier this week for the House members who haven't shown up for the second special session.
The three state district judges were trying to temporarily protect more them from civil arrest for being absent from the state House, state Rep. Gene Wu, D-Houston, said in a statement.
On Wednesday, Wu was granted the same order by one of those state district judges, Judge Chris Morton of the 230th Criminal District Court, which the lawmaker said temporarily shields him against the warrant should law enforcement track him down.
The Senate passed the voting bill Thursday shortly after Houston Rep. Carol Alvarado (D-Houston) ended her 15-hour filibuster. She stood non-stop and talked about the bill thanks to a back brace, catheter and sneakers.
WATCH: ALVARADO TALKS TO KHOU ABOUT FILIBUSTER
A spokesperson for Gov. Greg Abbott called the move by Democrats "just another stall tactic in a long line of stunts by the Texas Democrats, all of which have failed" and said the court this week "swiftly rejected [their] dangerous attempt to undermine our Constitution."
"Texas Democrats need to stop avoiding doing the job they were elected to do and get back to work," Renae Eze said in a statement.

Shoot stuff? SURE!
Do you want to get your hands on the best pistol crossbow on the market?
If you’re anything like me, there’s still that little, giddy kid inside of you that sets off an explosion of excitement when you get to shoot stuff. It’s almost like it’s born in us from birth. Since the time our parents deemed us old enough and responsible enough, we finally got the opportunity to trade in our plastic noisemaker guns and begin to build our own small munitions stockpile. We all remember Ralphie in The Christmas Story, being warned by the fake Santa – “You’ll shoot your eye out, kid.”
Yep, we heard it plenty of times but we soldiered on. We had siege warfare to conduct. And when the fateful day came that we got that special projectile device we had been dreaming of, it was time to set up targets made up of some empty soda cans or old cardboard boxes and show them who’s boss.
That same kid is still with me today. So off I set on my hunt to find something to have fun with, shooting some target practice in the backyard, something that wouldn’t ricochet and break a window, all the while not costing an arm and a leg of my hard earned money (ie. the shooting range these days) to entertain me for an hour or so.
The Hunt is On – My personal choice: The Cobra Self cocking crossbow pistol
During my treasure hunt, I stumbled across a crossbow pistol and it quickly piqued my interest. I searched for some pistol crossbow reviews but there wasn’t much out there with regard to information except some older buried forums slamming them for not being powerful enough for animals. I wasn’t trying to kill animals; I’m just looking for some good ol’ fashion plinking to occupy some time. However, little to my amazement, times have changed a bit since the forums had been posting. There are several videos and examples showing these aren’t a toy in the least.
There is a guy who shows us that it goes through several soda cans and pineapple among other stuff. That’s a decent punch from such a compact device.
The Cobra Self cocking Crossbow Pistol is certainly a powerful weapon and definitely not one that should be used by children except under careful supervision. This crossbow comes complete with a set of 3 aluminum arrows and, online at Amazon, where you can buy it at a what I personally think a very good price. Basically, it is capable of firing either arrows or bolts: in other words, this weapon is both a crossbow and a pistol. In fact, it is one of the best crossbow pistols.
You can purchase additional aluminum arrows to fit the crossbow. These come in packs of 12 as well as a pack of 12 aluminum pistol bolts, both of which you can obtain easily online from Amazon. You would be better advised to buy replacement bolts in plastic rather than aluminum, however. The fins at the end of the bolts are made from black plastic but, those fitted onto aluminum shafts tend to break off and are less durable than those attached to plastic shafts. Plastic bolts are just as easily obtainable from Amazon as their aluminum counterparts are and shoot from the Cobra Self cocking Crossbow Pistol just as well as the aluminum ones do.
Archery enthusiasts each have their own individual reasons for choosing specific models of crossbows. The crossbow offers the archer the opportunity to load and fire fast. Any of the self-cocking designs enable you to load over and over again, as well as firing quicker with far less force needed than you would expect. That said, however, you do need some fairly well-developed biceps to string the prod.

In fact, come to that, you do need some strength in your muscles when cocking, even with the aid of the Cobra Self cocking Crossbow Pistol Crossbow’s self-cocking mechanism. Apart from well-developed biceps, developing a strategy that works well for you is probably your best bet. The way many archers compress the bow in order to string the prod is by some strategically placed rope attached to each end of the bow, pulling it in sufficiently, then tying the rope off securely so that you have two hands available for re-stringing.
While using the repeated cocking feature, the crossbow comes with an automatic safety feature. This is essential because there is a lot of power behind this crossbow. Although the crossbow itself weighs 10lbs it has a pull capacity of 80lbs, a force providing enough velocity to obliterate the bolt once fired. In fact, firing from a distance of 50 feet an aluminum bolt can become embedded into the timber to a depth of ½ inch.
It is made in Taiwan. It is a very well-made product but, with such a potentially lethal crossbow you do need to focus on the safety aspect. This includes checking all the screws on a regular basis. Keep an Allen key to hand as the front Allen wrench screw does work itself loose if you use your Cobra Self cocking Crossbow Pistol on a regular basis. You may also find the aperture that moves up and down, may need attention. This involves removing the sights and recalibrating the washer. Overall, however, this is a well-constructed weapon that will offer the user many hours of pleasure if maintained well and cared for properly.
I’m going to repeat that to make sure everybody caught it:
Crossbow Pistols are NOT toys. Adult supervision is highly recommended.
More crossbow pistol Reviews for 2022
After digging through the dirt, I finally discovered some of them that were the best mini crossbows overall. If you are looking to kill a large animal or something for home defense, these are probably not going to be your first weapon of choice. I would venture to guess they may be able to take out small varmints though I haven’t personally tried it yet. If you are looking for something to entertain you and satisfy the kid inside, here is what we think of as one of the best crossbow pistols to help you let the fun begin.
1. Prophecy 80-Pound Self-Cocking
With a draw weight of 80 pounds, this Prophecy model will make your bolts travel at speeds of up to 150 fps. Based on a similar concept known as the Barnett Commando Pistol, this model improves over previous self-cocking versions and offers more satisfaction for the shooter. While it is easy to set up and use, you should not mistake it for a toy, as it is anything but.
The aluminum stock provides the model with both durability and a lightweight mass that allows you to easily hold it in your hand. It must be added that the pistol comes with an adjustable rear sight and a bead foresight.
Users like the Cobra limbs the pistol comes equipped with, as well. Although the body is made from aluminum, it has a wood feel that many will appreciate. Along with your purchase, you will also get a string and two end caps.
You will not have to put too much effort into cocking the pistol as it is self-cocking, but that’s not the only advantage we should talk about. You will be able to shoot many bolts over a short time, and you will have a fun time doing so.
2. KingsArchery Crossbow Pistol
Self-cocking crossbows have their fair share of supporters and admirers for straightforward reasons. They require almost no effort to cock, and they are fast to shoot at decent speeds. If you are after something like this, the KingsArchery Crossbow Pistol might catch your eye, and not only because of its classic looks, but also because of the various features and extras provided.
It is a lightweight model built from fiberglass that even a teenage shooter might try, under adult supervision. The model is sold by the manufacturer as part of a package with 63 aluminum and PVC bolts, so you can start practicing right away.
Be aware that you can’t treat this as a toy. While the self-cocking mechanism ensures that you don’t have to engage in strenuous activity to cock the pistol, some force is still needed, so you should not let a child try to handle it.
Because of its fast reload times, you can shoot arrow after arrow with high accuracy. It serves that the model is equipped with adjustable sights that will allow you to modify your aim for maximum precision.
3. PSE Viper SS
At 1.6 pounds, the PSE Viper SS is lightweight compared to many other similar models on the market. However, it must be noted that its draw weight is less than what you can see in the respective pistol crossbows. For a draw weight of only 50 pounds, however, this model will make your arrows fly fast, as the maximum velocity is 215 fps.
It is important to mention that the model comes with a cocking mechanism that acts as a second safety feature. The primary one is the safety lock installed on this model. Due to the attention paid to the user’s security, this manufacturer deserves extra praise.
Besides the automatic safety feature that engages the moment you cock the pistol, this model comes with an anti-dry fire trigger. The latter makes sure that you don’t end up releasing the bolt by accident, and therefore there is no reason to re-cock the gun.
The attention to safety paid by this manufacturer doesn’t stop here. There is a finger guard in place for hand safety. Also, the model comes with a track-style rail that enhances the precision of your shots.
What is a crossbow pistol or mini crossbow?
It’s pretty straightforward to figure out what a crossbow pistol is. Google defines a crossbow as “a medieval bow of a kind that is fixed across a wooden support and has a groove for the bolt and a mechanism for drawing and releasing the string.” The pistol part comes into play because:
- There is no stock built onto the main frame of the device
- The weapon is typically lighter than a full crossbow
There are 2 designs: the good old fashion draw pulley where you have to muscle back the string in order to cock the device (some have a foot stirrup to get some leverage) and the “self-cocking” version.
What is self-cocking?
When I first heard the term self-cocking, I actually thought it meant I didn’t have to do anything. I could just pull the trigger and fire again – AWESOME! Think again. Self-cocking actually refers to a lever on the back of the frame that allows you to push down and draw the string back into position. This leverages your weight balance and allows for easier cocking of the bow to load up with your favorite bolt of choice.
Arrows, darts, bolts. People will throw the technicality card on you for not referring to them correctly as bolts, but they’re all the same thing. You’ll find there are a couple of different types and it’s a matter of preference on the type you will like. Aluminum bolts will fire with more impact to the target. Plastic darts will typically fly a bit further (due to weight) though have a bit less hit at impact. Bolts are 6.5 inches in length and self-explanatory. You are going to want to pick up a couple extra with your purchase.
To my knowledge, there are unfortunately not any special tips such as broadheads and the likes. That would be icing on the cake to have the cool razor type points included to make this look like a force to be reckoned with, but alas we can’t have it all. The types I’ve found are all steel points but definitely do the job.
You will typically find either a 50 or 80-pound draw. This number is the amount of weight you pull when cocking the device. This is where the advantage goes to the self-cocking units as they give you the leverage to pull the string. For those non-self-cocking units, most can be manually cocked. However, if you need extra help, a rope cocker can assist in cocking the device.
The string catapults the bolts toward your target. With proper care before first use and over time using string wax will keep your string in good shape, prevent fraying, and keep shooting smooth.
We hope you enjoyed our quest to find the best pistol crossbow available these days.

Is there any way to influence a baby's sex?
Answer From Yvonne Butler Tobah, M.D.
The short answer is no — there's not much the average couple can do to affect a baby's sex.
While old wives' tales suggest that a woman's diet or sexual position during conception can affect a baby's sex, these theories remain unproved. Likewise, researchers have found that timing sex in relation to ovulation — such as having sex days before ovulation to conceive a boy or closer to ovulation to conceive a girl — doesn't work.
Rarely, couples face the agonizing problem of knowing they could pass a genetic trait to a child of a specific sex — usually a boy. Under those special circumstances couples might use high-tech interventions to influence the chance of conceiving a girl. For example:
- Preimplantation genetic screening. With this technique — which is used in combination with in vitro fertilization — embryos are tested for specific genetic conditions and sex before they're placed in a woman's uterus.
- Sperm sorting. Various sperm-sorting techniques — which require artificial insemination or in vitro fertilization — can be used to reduce the likelihood of passing on a genetic condition, as well as select a child's sex.
These procedures are not recommended for choosing a baby's sex for nonmedical reasons. If you have concerns about passing on a genetic condition to your baby, talk to your health care provider.

Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.)
This research examines the social construction of a Virginia Indian reservation community during the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Between 1824 and 1877 the Iroquoian-speaking Nottoway divided their reservation lands into individual partible allotments and developed family farm ventures that mirrored their landholding White neighbors. In Southampton's slave-based society, labor relationships with White landowners and "Free People of Color" impacted Nottoway exogamy and shaped community notions of peoplehood. Through property ownership and a variety of labor practices, Nottoway's kin-based farms produced agricultural crops, orchard goods and hogs for export and sale in an emerging agro-industrial economy. However, shifts in Nottoway subsistence, land tenure and marriage practices undermined their matrilineal social organization, descent reckoning and community solidarity. With the asymmetrical processes of kin-group incorporation into a capitalist economy, questions emerge about the ways in which the Nottoway resituated themselves as a social group during the allotment process and after the devastation of the Civil War. Using an historical approach emphasizing world-systems theory, this dissertation investigates the transformation of the Nottoway community through an exploration and analysis of their nineteenth-century political economy and notions of peoplehood.

Once derided as “useless” by figures near Donald Trump for shooting down election conspiracy theories, Attorney General Mark Brnovich has maintained a cautious silence as he faces another round of calls for action from his own party related the 2020 election audit.
“We’re now anxiously waiting for Attorney General Brnovich and hopefully he’s going to do his job,” Trump said at a rally in Florence on January 15, saying he was counting on Brnovich to turn up widespread fraud in the 2020 election. “I think he’s a good man, I think he’s going to do his job – we’ll find out. I think it’s a very easy job to do, because anybody with any common sense is going to look, they’re going to take a look, and they’re going to say this was a total fraud.”
As Trump spoke, Brnovich, who’s seeking the Republican nomination in Arizona’s U.S. Senate race, posted a photo of the two smiling and flashing a thumbs-up and peace sign. “Great to have you in Arizona Mr. President!” he wrote in a Tweet.
Brnovich’s office has declined to say whether the AG is looking into allegations around the 2020 election, though there’s evidence that the AG is undertaking some kind of probe. Former Maricopa County Recorder Adrian Fontes revealed that, in October, investigators from Brnovich’s office interviewed him about the 2020 contest.
But the AG hasn’t always kept mum on election fraud allegations.
Days after the election, he shot down “Sharpiegate” theories in an official letter that he shared on Twitter and in an appearance on Fox News. That’s what drew the “useless” comment from onetime White House Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham, according to a Politico report.
And in April 2021, after Secretary of State Katie Hobbs urged him to investigate the audit for potentially violating state laws, Brnovich didn’t investigate – but he did issue a reply to the request. “This does not meet the standard of a credible allegation – it is speculation insufficient to support the request for an official investigation,” he wrote to Hobbs.
Then, in September, the Senate and Cyber Ninjas released their audit report, which found that Joe Biden indeed won Arizona’s 2020 presidential election, but also insinuated that additional investigation could turn up the widespread fraud that some legislators alleged occurred. At that point, Senate President Karen Fann pointed to Brnovich. She said she’d turned over audit documents to the attorney general and it was up to him to take it from there.
“He’s got the staff, he’s got the money – I want him to do it,” Fann said. Months later, pro-audit legislators have only upped their demands, calling for “perp walks” for those who carried out what they say was a stolen election.
Recently, demands for election investigation have come from the other side of the aisle, but Brnovich’s response has been the same. After additional revelations about false electoral college certificate, Democrats said Brnovich should investigate a document signed by 11 Arizona Republicans that purported to give the state’s presidential votes to Trump. Brnovich’s office hasn’t responded to questions asking if he’s investigating – and it not, why not.
Republicans have also gotten the silent treatment from Brnovich on another hot-button topic. In October, Rep. Jake Hoffman, R-Queen Creek, asked Brnovich to weigh in on the constitutional merits of a novel legal theory that holds that states can effectively conduct their own border enforcement by declaring that they’re facing “invasion.” As of last week, Brnovich hadn’t replied.
For now, there seems to be an uneasy equilibrium, with Brnovich maintaining his silence and his fellow caucus members applying pressure, but avoiding outright criticism.
On January 15, in Florence, Sen. Kelly Townsend, R-Mesa, led the crowd in a call-and-response chant telling the Brnovich to make arrests related to the 2020 election. “What do we want?” she asked. “Indictments!” the crowd roared. “When do we want them?” “Now!”
Before the last round, Townsend cried: “One more for Brnovich!”g

Sometimes inspiration isn’t the problem, it’s determining whether you actually have a good idea or not. It’s important to be critical of your idea and ask for feedback from as many people as possible. Several strategies to help you determine if you have an effective business idea.
Does it solve a problem?
The best business ideas are those that solve a problem in some way.
If there is a problem that affects you, your friends, family, co-workers, etc., then the chances are high that it affects people you don’t know as well.
Will people pay for it?
It’s paying customers who validate an idea and determine which ones have the greatest chance for success.
“An idea is just an idea until you have a paying customer attached to it,” Schroter said. “Anyone can discredit a simple idea, but no one can discredit paying customers.”
– What’s your price point?
Once you have determined that you are solving a legitimate problem in a scalable way, you need to determine not only the value that it delivers to the world but what people would pay for that value. Once you determine the price, then you can assess if your solution is business-worthy or not.
Is there a sizable niche market for it?
Without a large enough market, your idea may never get off the ground. You need to determine if a niche market exists for your idea. You’re better poised for success if your business improves upon what’s already out there – a novel response to a recognized need.
How can you tell if a niche market is, in fact, a market? It’s a mix of “research, gut instinct and personal preference.Are you passionate enough about it?
Your business will likely consume all of your time, so make sure you’re passionate about it to make it successful. It’s important that your idea is something you truly care about, not just something you’ve targeted because it seems like it could be lucrative.
Have you tested your idea?
You won’t know if your business is viable until you test it on strangers.
Test it – not just with friends who will be too polite to tell the truth but with honest people who would make up your ideal target audience, and then listen to the feedback
Are you open to advice?
If you’re not open to changing or adapting your idea to fit what your customers want, your business idea might not be worth pursuing.
Success happens when you are willing to listen and consider others’ advice.
How will you market your business?
Many entrepreneurs think about the problems their business will solve but not about how they intend to market their business to their target customers.
Are you being realistic about your goals?
As excited as you may be about a new business idea, it’s important to stay grounded and be realistic about it
Stop talking and start writing. Talking about an idea prior to doing some initial processing on paper tricks our brains into thinking that we are actually doing something about the concept.
Here’s an overview of seven typical sources of financing for start-ups:
1. Personal investment
When starting a business, your first investor should be yourself—either with your own cash or with collateral on your assets. This proves to investors and bankers that you have a long-term commitment to your project and that you are ready to take risks.
2. Love money
This is money loaned by a spouse, parents, family or friends. Investors and bankers considers this as “patient capital”, which is money that will be repaid later as your business profits increase.
When borrowing love money, you should be aware that:
Family and friends rarely have much capital
They may want to have equity in your business
A business relationship with family or friends should never be taken lightly
3. Venture capital
The first thing to keep in mind is that venture capital is not necessarily for all entrepreneurs. Right from the start, you should be aware that venture capitalists are looking for technology-driven businesses and companies with high-growth potential in sectors such as information technology, communications and biotechnology.
Venture capitalists take an equity position in the company to help it carry out a promising but higher risk project. This involves giving up some ownership or equity in your business to an external party. Venture capitalists also expect a healthy return on their investment, often generated when the business starts selling shares to the public. Be sure to look for investors who bring relevant experience and knowledge to your business.
BDC has a venture capital team that supports leading-edge companies strategically positioned in a promising market. Like most other venture capital companies, it gets involved in start-ups with high-growth potential, preferring to focus on major interventions when a company needs a large amount of financing to get established in its market.
Angels are generally wealthy individuals or retired company executives who invest directly in small firms owned by others. They are often leaders in their own field who not only contribute their experience and network of contacts but also their technical and/or management knowledge. Angels tend to finance the early stages of the business with investments in the order of $25,000 to $100,000. Institutional venture capitalists prefer larger investments, in the order of $1,000,000.
In exchange for risking their money, they reserve the right to supervise the company’s management practices. In concrete terms, this often involves a seat on the board of directors and an assurance of transparency.
Angels tend to keep a low profile. To meet them, you have to contact specialized associations or search websites on angels. The National Angel Capital Organization (NACO) is an umbrella organization that helps build capacity for Canadian angel investors. You can check out their member’s directory for ideas about who to contact in your region.
5. Business incubators
Business incubators (or “accelerators”) generally focus on the high-tech sector by providing support for new businesses in various stages of development. However, there are also local economic development incubators, which are focused on areas such as job creation, revitalization and hosting and sharing services.
Commonly, incubators will invite future businesses and other fledgling companies to share their premises, as well as their administrative, logistical and technical resources. For example, an incubator might share the use of its laboratories so that a new business can develop and test its products more cheaply before beginning production.
Generally, the incubation phase can last up to two years. Once the product is ready, the business usually leaves the incubator’s premises to enter its industrial production phase and is on its own.
Businesses that receive this kind of support often operate within state-of-the-art sectors such as biotechnology, information technology, multimedia, or industrial technology.
MaRS – an innovation hub in Toronto – has a selective list of business incubators in Canada, plus links to other resources on its website.
6. Government grants and subsidies
Government agencies provide financing such as grants and subsidies that may be available to your business.

Marvin Miller, Former MLBPA Director and Union Hero Who Ushered In Free Agency Era, Dies
Marvin Miller, the former longtime director of the Major League Baseball Players' Association, died Tuesday at age 95. During his tenure, Miller oversaw a dramatic expansion of union influence that culminated in the advent of free agency in Major League Baseball in the mid 1970s. Although Miller never wore a uniform, he is arguably the most important figure in MLB over the last 40 years.
From 1966 to 1982, Miller was the Executive Director of the MLBPA. In 1968, Miller negotiated the first ever collective bargaining agreement in MLB, guaranteeing players a minimum annual salary, and was a key figure in the 1972 U.S. Supreme Court decision, Flood v. Kuhn. After the 1969 baseball season, St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Curt Flood was traded to the Philadelphia Phillies, but Flood wrote to MLB commissioner Bowie Kuhn saying, "I do not feel I am a piece of property to be bought and sold irrespective of my wishes." Flood and Miller were dealt a blow by the court, which upheld MLB's legally suspect anti-trust exemption, as well as the league's infamous "reserve clause."
Miller was a crusader against the reserve clause, which bound players to their teams even after their contracts with them had expired. Reserve clauses were typical of professional sports leagues until the 1970s. For example, if a player were under contract with a team until the end of a given season, the player could not enter into another contract with another team despite the termination said agreement.
Despite the unfavorable Supreme Court ruling, the reserve clause was abolished after Miller had encouraged pitchers Dave McNally and Andy Messersmith to play the 1975 season without contracts, and subsequently file a grievance arbitration after the season. Arbitrator Peter Seitz ruled that McNally and Messersmith were no longer bound by the reserve clause, and were thus free agents. This was in direct opposition to the team owners' position, which was that under the reserve clause, their one-year contracts were automatically renewed. Seitz was fired by the owners from his arbitration post, while Messersmith went on to sign the first $1 million contract in MLB history.
When Miller became head of the MLBPA in 1966, the average player's annual salary was $19,000. By the time he left in 1982, it was at $241,000.
While Miller was a hero among players and reviled by the ownders at the time, his impact on the game has been undeniable.

Hundreds of people could be using a stolen phone and not even know it, after a recent theft at a local satellite phone business.
Nicole Garegnani, manager of Bankers Hill-based All Road Satellite, told 10News that two ex-employees stole 200-300 phones and then launched a similar company that operates on the Internet.
"I mean, how can anyone be so horrible?" said Garegnani. "Greed can get you."
Garegnani feels more than just ripped off. She said the two former employees who she trusted stole her satellite phone business from under her nose.
"So, that whole time they were building their company and their website and continuing to build their customers," she said.
San Diego police confirmed the two men have been charged, but wouldn't be more specific. The men were identified as Eddie Siscon and Timothy Green, and 10News found Facebook pictures that show Green living the high life.
"Over $200,000 in equipment alone, and then we lost about $50,000 in revenue from customer theft," said Garegnani.
Garegnani said the two men have been hiding out and operating their new business, Apollo Communications, online. According to a search warrant obtained by 10News, a tipster told investigators the men would often laugh and make jokes about ripping off All Road Satellite.
"Once they hijacked the customer, account credit card information, they would send them a new SIM card," Garegnani said.
10News paid a visit to the $6 million La Jolla home listed as the men's business address in the search warrant. A man who came to the door said the former employees were not home and was vague.
Garegnani said an arrest can't come soon enough.
"We're just looking for justice, we want our equipment, our customers back," she said.
Garegnani said police raided the men's home and took computers, but they are still investigating.
If you have a satellite phone and want to check to see if it's stolen, you can call All Road Satellite at 888-884-7623 or visit allroadsat.com, and ask for Nicole Garegnani.

Why, it doesn’t seem that long ago that German retro rockers Kadavar were posting a clip for “All Our Thoughts” from their self-titled debut. Oh wait, that wasn’t that long ago. Only about two weeks ago, in fact. Nonetheless, time and album cycles invariably march on, and the band has unveiled a video for the charming, bouncing new single “Doomsday Machine,” taken from their sophomore outing and Nuclear Blast debut, Abra Kadavar. The snare sound may have changed, but the overall ethic seems to have remained the same.

UNITED STATES T NT OFFICE p r 1,995,392 ,7 a I I TIRE covER George Albert Lyon, Asbury Park, N. 1;, assignor to Lyon Incorporated, Asbury Park, N. JJB/ corporation of, Delaware 7 Original application October- 2$, 1929, Serial Nor' 402,361. Divided and this application Septem- .7 her 9, 1932, Serial No. 32,424 7 I 6 Claims. (01; 150-54 Y This invention relates to covers for spare tires of automobiles and constitutes divisional subject matter taken from my copending patent application Serial No. 402,361; filed October 25, 1929 pertaining to Covers for spare tires of automobiles and method of making the same.
Certain tire covers which have been devised for spare tires consist of a casing made of sheet metal and arranged to extend about the periphery of the tire and over the outer side surface of the tire. Such covers are highly satisfactory where the spare tire is mounted on the car in position in which the cover is not liable to be struck by another car. This is the case where the spare tire is mounted in a well on the running board or where the car is protected at the rear by a bumper extending completely across the car at the rear of the tire carrier. These covers, however, when mounted upon spare tires located in the car in a position such that the cover is exposed to contact by another car often become permanently distorted and bent out of shape by contact of another car therewith. This is particularly true where the tire cover is applied to a spare the mounted on a tire carrier at therear of the car having bumperettes extending merely across the rear of each rear fender and. leaving the spare tire exposed. It is common practice when thecars are parked in crowded spaces for one car to pushanother car by the contact of the bumper of the first car with the bumperettes or spare tire at the rear of the forward car. Certain of these bumpers have projecting clips and projecting ends along their central portions which extend between the bumperettes and will make'contact with the tire cover before the bumper and bumperettes engage. This often will permanently dent a sheet metal side cover even when it is made of resilient metal. 7
The primary objects of the present invention are to improve the construction of covers for spare tires of automobiles and to produce a cover which is much more attractive in appearance than the ordinary fabric cover and in which the portion thereof covering the side surface of the tire will not become permanently bent nor distorted by contact of another car or other objects therewith. .7
Still another object of the invention is to'provide a spare tire side covering membermade of fabric or the like with reinforcing rings for aiding in preventing the radial collapse. of the side covering member whenit is removed from the tire and for facilitating the centering V of the sidebovering member on the tirein the application of the cover to thetire,
Other objects and advantages-will more fully appear from the. following detail description taken in connection'with the accompanying drawing 5 which illustrates a single embodiment thereof and in which; i V I v I Figure l is a view in side elevation partly broken away illustrating the tire cover embodying. th features of this invention g I 10' Figure 2 is anenlarged fragmentary cross sectional view taken on substantially the line IIII of Figure 1 looking in the direction indicated by the arrows; and 1 q T Figure 3 is a detail perspective view illustrating the construction of the reinforcing bead for the side; covering member of the cover shown in Figurespl and 2. p H p The tire cover as shown on the drawingis applied to a tire 2 supported on a rim 3. 20
In the form of the invention illustrated in the drawing the tire cover comprises a cover member-4 constructed to cover one side surface of a tire, and a cover member 6 constructed to extend about-and cover" the periphery of the tire. The .cover member 4 comprises a body 5 formed of relatively thin flexible sheet material and preferably madeof textile fabric coated upon one or bothsides with a coating material which will give the coated fabric a glazed finished surface. This coating material should be of such characterthat it may be molded'and preferably consists of ma: terial which is slightly softened by the action of heat. In actual practice flexible sheet fabric consisting of cotton drilling coated with a pyr- 35 oxylin compound, and known inthe art as imitation leather, has been found to give highly= satisfactory results. The cover member 4 may be-made in the form of a ring as shown in the drawing, constructed to extend substantially from the periphery of thetire over theside surface to the-innerma f m or bead of the tire. This member, however, if desired, maybe constructed to extend from the periphery of the tire to the axis of the tire and rim; 7 I a The side cover member 4 is preferably constructed to conform to a certain degree to the convex curvature of the side wall of the tire, and to this end, the flexible sheet material forming the body of said member is given a concavoconvex or other suitable form in cross-section. When flexible material, suchas textile fabric coated witha moldablecompound which is softenedby the action of heat, is employed in the manufacture of the side cover member, said memtional shape by stretching the same over a suitably shaped form. This cover member may be molded by applying the same to a forming plate the outer surface of which, or a portion of the outer surface of which, has the form-into which it is desired to mold the side cover member. 'To enable the molding operation to be efficiently performed the flexible fabric of the side cover memher is preferably stretched tight on the reinforcing member before molding. y l E In the construction shown in Figure 2 the fabric of the side cover member is reinforced at its outer margin by means of a reinforcing ring 48, preferably made of strip steelprovided with a coating to protect the same from corrosion'and' having the form in cross-section illustrated in Figure 2. 'As shown in this. figure, the body'of the ring 48 is so formed that it lies at an angle;
to the axis of the tire and rim substantially the same as the inclination ;of the marginal portion of the cover member which overlaps the side cover and at its outer margin; this ring is-provided with an outwardly turned reversely bent flange indicated at 50. 'The marginal portion of the fabric is folded back outwardly upon the body of said fabric, and this folded margin is inserted between the body, of the reinforcing ring and reversely bent flange 50. The reversely bent flange is pressed down forcibly upon the fabric so that the fabric isgripp'ed securely between the body of the ring and the edge of said flange.
The side cover member and-peripheral cover member are applied to the tire insuch'away that the peripheral'cover member overlaps theouter margin of the side cover member in the manner shown in Figure 2 and contacts with that part of the fabric which extends across the outer surface of the body of the reinforcing ring. Thus there will be no metal to metal contact between the peripheral cover member and the side cover member.
Figure 3 shows the form of the reinforcing ring before the application of the fabric thereto. 'As shown in this-figure, there is a considerable gap between the edge of the reversely bent margin'50 andthe body of the ring, so that the folded margin of the fabric may be readilyinserted between the body of the ring and the reversely bent margin. After the insertion of the fabric the reversely bent margin of the ring is'bent down'into contact-with the fabric to hold the same securely in place. I g
The reinforcing rings 48 are made from strip steel of the desired thickness: and are provided of a ring may be secured together, if desired, by
applying thereto a relatively small connecting plate 52, as shown in Fig. 3, which may be spot welded to the'ends of the ring. The fabric is preferably attached to the ring in two power press operations, in oneof which the fabric is forced into the recess between the body of the ring and thereversely'bent flange 50, and the flange is bent ber may be readily molded into this cross-secsufliciently to clamp partially the fabric, and in of the side cover member.
= The member 6 of the tire cover which is constructed to extendabout the periphery of the tire also has a concave-convex form in transverse cross section so as toflt over the periphery of the tire, the tread portion of the tire engaging in the concavity of this member. The cover member 6 is so constructed toextend transversely across thetread portion of the tire and to project for some distance beyond the tread portion as to margin. 3 The member 6 is applied to the tire outside of' the side cover member 4 and one margin thereof is arranged to overlap and contact with the peripheral portion of the side cover member, and the other margin to engage the tread surface of the tire along one side of the tread. The mar ginal portions of the cover member 6 are preferably turned'back upon the body thereof, as indicated at 12, to form rounded edges.
The member 6 is made inthe form of a divided ring and is alsopreferably formed so that the end portions thereof are separated by a space when said member is applied to a tire as shown in Figure 1. This member. is constructed of a diameter somewhat less than the outside diameter of the tire to which it is to be applied and is made of resilient material having a degree of flexibility so that it may be bent in applying the same to the tire and the resiliency ofthe material will cause said member to contract upon the tire when released after the application thereto.
. The member fismay be formed from a strip of sheet metal stock, preferably sheet metal and may be given substantially the shape shown on the drawing by cold rolling. *A cold rolling operation will give this member the required degree of resiliency and said member, upon contraction, will grip the tire securely:
In applying thetire cover to a tire, theside cover member 4 is'first applied to one side surface of the tire, and the peripheral cover member 6 is .then placed over the tire so that it overlaps theside cover member on one side of the tire and the side walli'of the tire on the other side thereof. In'applying the member 6, said member is ex panded and upon its release, the-resiliency of the material will cause the same to 'contract forcibly upon the tire thereby. gripping the tread surface of the tire along one sideof the tread and the peripheral portion of the side cover member. In gripping the side cover member the peripheral cover member; engages the fabric at the points where the fabric extends over the outer face of .the reinforcing ring 48. By the contracting action of the peripheral cover member, both members of the tirecover will be securely held in positionupon the tire. I
Now, it is of course to be understood that while I have illustrated and described-in detail the prestantially form-retaining member for disposition over an outer side wall of a spare tire and formed to transversely conform with the curved contour of the side wall of the tire, and a metallic bead receiving and reinforcing the outer peripheral margin of said member, said bead being formed to lie inwardly of the outer side wall of the tire and be disposed adjacent the tread of the tire.
2. In a spare tire cover, a pliable ring-like substantially form-retaining member for disposition over an outer side wall of a spare tire and formed to transversely conform with the curved contour of the side wall of the tire, and a metallic bead receiving and reinforcing the outer peripheral margin of said member, said bead being formed to lie inwardly of the outer side wall of the tire and be disposed adjacent the tread of the tire,
said ring-like member having its inner marginal edge provided with a laterally and inwardly extending marginal portion for disposition inwardly of the tire adjacent the tire bead. v
3. A cover for a spare tire of an automobile, comprising, in combination, a section of flexible sheet material for covering one side of the tire, and a reinforcing ringof strip material enclosing and secured to a margin of said section, said ring having its outermost portion offset laterally therefrom toward the tire so as to receive and hold said margin of the section adjacent the tire tread.
4. In a tire cover, a pliable ring member formed for disposition over only a side of the tire and having its outer peripheral edge formed to extend inwardly toward and substantially up to the tread of the tire for frictional cooperation with another part of the tire cover, and a reinforcing ring receiving and secured to said edge, said ring having a portion arranged between the member and the tire to protect the member against frictional wear by the tire, said ring serving also to render said member substantially circumferentially rigid;
5. A'cover for a spare tire of an automobile, comprising, in combination, a section of flexible sheet materialfor covering one side of the tire, a reinforcing ring of strip material enclosing and secured to a margin of said section, said ring having its outer face inclined inwardly toward the tire, said ring being oflset inwardly toward the tire from the adjacent portion ofthe section so as not to interfere with engagement of the section with another part of the tire cover.
6. In a spare tire cover, a pliable ring-like substantially form-retaining member for disposition over an outer sidewall of a spare tire and formed to transversely conform with the curved contour of the side wall of the tire, and a metallic bead receiving and reinforcing the outer peripheral margin of said member, said bead being formed to lie inwardly of the outer side wall of the tire and be disposed adjacent the tread of the tire,
to facilitate centering of the member relative to V GEORGE ALBERT LYON.

In this week's highlights: The Earth Day summit could be the scene of new pledges on decarbonization; oil markets focus on US oil stock data; US sanctions hit entities involved in the Nord Stream 2 project, while the market focuses on the race to build up European gas stocks again during the summer.
- Eyes on US oil stock data, Iran talks
- Fresh sanctions aimed at Nord Stream 2
- Earth Day, Biden climate strategy in spotlight
- Germany gears up for Sept election
In this week's highlights: The Earth Day summit could be the scene of new pledges on decarbonization. In gas, US sanctions hit entities involved in the Nord Stream 2 project, while the market focuses on the race to build up European gas stocks again during the summer.
First, oil market fundamentals are looking stronger for now, but new lockdowns are a bearish factor to watch, and global demand recovery is likely to be very uneven.
Europe's recovery remains sluggish but there are positive signs for UK oil demand due to easing lockdowns and a high vaccination rate.
Markets will be acutely focused on US oil stock data, while global mobility indicators such as the pickup in global commercial flights, shown in the chart, will also be key for gauging the pace of the demand recovery.
In the Middle East, indirect talks between Iran and the US are in the spotlight, and the sheer frequency of attempted attacks by Yemeni Houthi rebels on Saudi Arabia, the world's largest crude exporter, is also starting to unsettle oil markets and add to the anxiety in the region.
Meanwhile, the US issued a new round of sanctions targeting Russian entities and individuals involved in the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline project, which could have knock-on effects in the energy sector.
And speaking of gas, a recent cold snap in Europe caused a switch to withdrawals from gas storage, bringing EU sites down to less than 30% full, as the chart shows. With concerns in the market about whether stocks can be refilled over summer, more LNG could be drawn to Europe on the current strong price signals.
Elsewhere, the market's attention will turn to the Earth Day virtual summit on Thursday this week, with US President Joe Biden expected to announce a more ambitious national emissions reduction target under the Paris Agreement.
America's diplomatic power is important for the global effort to cut greenhouse gas emissions as countries gear up for the COP26 United Nations climate talks in November.
More ambitious emissions targets would indicate greater demand for carbon offset credits and, as you can see in this chart, Platts CORSIA-eligible carbon credits have made price gains in recent months.
Finally, watchers of European energy and climate policy will be following political developments in Germany ahead of September's election. This week the two leading parties name their lead candidate in the race to replace Chancellor Angela Merkel.
Merkel's conservatives remain the biggest party in the polls, but have lost ground to the Greens. The rise of the Greens, triggered by the Chernobyl accident exactly 35 years ago this week, has changed Germany's energy landscape fundamentally, with the last reactors to shut next year.
Energy policy focus towards 2030 is shifting to decarbonizing transport and heating as the expansion of renewables has stalled. But higher wind and solar targets and greener energy imports will still be key with many difficult decisions referred to Brussels.
