DeKalb, IL — Actress Gerren Taylor, known for her role in BET’s “Baldwin Hills,” died Sunday morning at 30 years old.
Ray Cunningham, star of BET’s “College Hill,” and Taylor’s friend, shared the news of the reality star’s passing on Instagram. Cunningham shared a video featuring Taylor and remembered her in his caption.
“Just got the worst news ever, and I’m still not processing it fully,” he wrote. “I’ve known [Taylor] since 2006, the #BaldwinHills cast was like the little sisters and brothers to #College Hill.”
No cause of death has been confirmed, but the reality television star battled with lupus and was on dialysis during the time of her death, according to Essence. However, it’s uncertain if Taylor’s condition specifically contributed to her death.
Taylor also appeared as herself in “America the Beautiful” and the TV docuseries “Ripley’s Believe It or Not!” She also modeled for L.A. Models, working with several brands, including Tommy Hilfiger.
On Monday, BET remembered Taylor on Facebook.
“Our hearts go out to the family and friends of Ashley Gerren Taylor, who has recently passed. BET family is forever,” the post read.

Guns Rare Transferable Colt R-75A Machine Gun Up For Sale Patrick Roberts February 11, 2018 0 COMMENT James D. Julia will be offering a super rare Colt R-75A machine gun that will be offered in their March 2018 auction. The Colt R-75A was an export model of the BAR that was produced in small numbers for the Dutch Army in 1924 that featured a quick change barrel system. Only 832 were produced according to a machine gun expert and all 832 were sold to Netherlands Purchasing Commission. The gun that is up for auction can be seen in the video below and is in wonderful condition given that it was produced in 1925– likely near the end of the Colt R-75A’s production run. James D. Julia estimates that the machine gun will sell for approximately $70,000 – $100,000 in their March 2018 auction. The rare BAR holds the distinction of being the heaviest BAR variant produced at 21 pounds and is chambered in .30-06 as well as the second most rare in terms of production numbers. How many Colt R-75As could be on the machine gun registry? Probably less than a dozen based on my limited research. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YYTMMDy0fCk If you aren’t familiar with the R-75A machine gun, Ian McCollum from Forgotten Weapons did a pretty solid video on a later variant that is very similar to the R-75A, the Colt Monitor. The Monitor is very similar to the R-75A with some additions that made it ideal for law enforcement like a Cutts compensator and a detent system on the selector lever. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jb6C9ASylmQ If you happen to have the means, or if you are a pleb like me that likes to window shop, check the Colt R-75A out on James D.

A contingent led by Oakland A's team president Billy Beane will meet with Heisman Trophy victor Kyler Murray on Sunday in hopes of getting him to skip the 2019 National Football League draft, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.
Murray previously said he meant to play baseball after his collegiate career was over, but he now appears to be waffling between entering the National Football League draft or playing for Oakland this spring.
According to multiple reports, Murray is asking for a significant increase in guaranteed money from Oakland - as he should, given he has incredible leverage right now - although the number is in flux. Murray, a junior, could be a first-round pick if he wants to go into the National Football League draft. The A's drafted Murray in the first round of the 2018 Major League Baseball draft in June. Mike Florio brought up the possibility of a team drafting Murray in the range that would pay him the desired $15 million and the A's coming in to match it.
When considering his future earning potential, that's when it gets tricky.
Trump's very private meetings are a huge favor to Putin
Yet White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders responded to the story by The New York Times by saying "This is absurd". He also accused the Post of fabricating the report.
Kyler Murray wants the Oakland Athletic's to show him the money. If Murray turns into a star quarterback, or even a serviceable one, he'll be heavily compensated for the rest of his career (see: Bay Area quarterbacks Jimmy Garoppolo and Derek Carr, who both signed contracts worth more than $70 million in guaranteed money, per Spotrac).
At the risk of using a trite phrase, Murray could be playing hardball with the A's.
Once Murray makes the majors, he then would have to wait another six-plus years to hit free agency before a monster eight- or nine-figure contract could be waiting for him. Whatever sport he chooses, Murray, 21, will need to begin training for it sooner than later.
More analysis to come....

Dear Child, Sometimes on your travel through hell, you meet people that think they are in heaven because of their cleverness and ability to get away with things. Travel past them because they don't understand who they have become and never will. These type of people feel justified in revenge and will never learn mercy or forgiveness because they live by comparison. They are the people that don't care about anyone, other than who is making them feel confident. They don’t understand that their deity is not rejoicing with them because of their actions, rather he is trying to free them from their insecurities, by softening their heart. They rather put out your light than find their own. They don't have the ability to see beyond the false sense of happiness they get from destroying others. You know what happiness is and it isn’t this. Don’t see their success as their deliverance. It is a mask of vindication which has no audience, other than their own kind. They have joined countless others that call themselves “survivors”. They believe that they are entitled to win because life didn’t go as planned for them. You are not like them. You were not meant to stay in hell and follow their belief system. You were bound for greatness. You were born to help them by leading. Rise up and be the light home. You were given the gift to see the truth. They will have an army of people that are like them and you are going to feel alone. However, your family in heaven stands beside you now. They are your strength and as countless as the stars. It is time to let go! Love, Your Guardian Angel
If you have feelings for someone, let them know. It doesn’t matter if they can be in your life or not. Maybe, it is just enough for both of you to release the truth, so healing can occur. The opposite is true, as well. If you don’t have feelings for someone then never let another person suggest that you do. Protect your reputation and be responsible for the wrong information spread about you. Never allow anyone to live with a false belief or unfounded hope about you. An honorable person sets the record straight, so that person can move on with their life.
Never annoy an inspirational author or you will become the poison in her pen and the villian in every one of her books.
Insanity is everyone expecting you not to fall apart when you find out everything you believed in was a lie.

According to Reuters, Toyota dealers in Japan have already begun to terminate previously concluded contracts for the purchase of a crossover.
At the same time, the situation is not similar to the one that has developed with the Land Cruiser 300 and Lexus LX SUVs – the model is still available on the company’s official website (the price starts from 3 million yen or 1.33 million rubles).
Apparently, the Japanese see no reason to spend resources on resuming crossover production (Harrier is assembled at the Takaoka plant in Aichi Prefecture), given that the model will soon undergo a planned upgrade.
The company does not disclose details, however, given the nature of the recent improvements to the Corolla, Highlander and RAV4 (crossovers are even assembled under one roof), it is not difficult to predict the upcoming changes. Most likely, Harrier will receive a fully digital dashboard based on a 12.3-inch display and Smart Connect multimedia, as well as an expanded set of Toyota T-Mate electronic assistants.
It is entrusted to local dealers of the brand to negotiate with customers on new conditions. Sources of the publication indicate that this is the first time that Toyota has refused to fulfill its obligations to customers to deliver the car. It is quite possible that dealers will compensate for the difference in the price of the car – according to Nikkei, the updated Harrier will rise in price by about 100 thousand yen (44.3 thousand rubles).
Freshly assembled Toyota Harriers at the Takaoka plant
The fourth-generation Toyota Harrier crossover was introduced in 2020. The car is built on the same TNGA platform as the current RAV4, but is intended exclusively for the local market, being a more elegant and sporty alternative to the global counterpart. Last year, 74,000 Toyota Harriers were sold in Japan.

Jak Roberto was asked about the loveteam of Barbie Forteza and David Licauco
The loveteam of Kapuso star Barbie Forteza and David Licauco unexpectedly caught the attention of many showbiz fans and their successful tandem received a reaction from the actress’s real-life boyfriend Jak Roberto.
Barbie and Jak have been together for six years already. When Barbie was paired with David in the series Maria Clara at Ibarra, many people noticed their chemistry is something that would bring “kilig.”
With that, they became an official Kapuso loveteam called BarDa, previously known as FiLay in MCAI. Following their movie project, they are also set to be featured in a series.
In a recent article published on PEP’s website, it was said that Jak Roberto flexed his six-year relationship with Barbie Forteza. He said that he is happy that they are very supportive of each other’s endeavors.
“Happy rin ako for her, support-support lang sa lahat ng achievements and marami kaming nilu-look forward ngayong darating na taon,” Jak said. He also said that he is proud of Barbie’s achievements, as well as the successful loveteam that she has with David.
With the frequent togetherness of Barbie and David as loveteam partners, Jak was asked if he feels jealous. The latter understands that this is just work. “Walang selos, go lang! Professional lang tayo, trabaho lang,” he said.
He added that he does not mind that his girlfriend has a different onscreen partner because this is part of their job. Jak is also aware of the sentiments of some fans who reacted to the BarDa loveteam.
“Nakakatuwa nga lahat nung mga fans. Minsan nagte-trending ako sa Twitter [nang] hindi ko alam. Basta sasabihin lang sa akin, ‘Huy, trending ka sa Twitter.’ Sabi ko, ‘Bakit?'” Jak said.
He also stressed that he is happy for Barbie and David’s success as loveteam partners. Jake Roberto added that he is supporting the BarDa loveteam. He also said that he is touched by the messages of people who got affected by the loveteam of his girlfriend with another actor.
Meanwhile, in a previous article, Jak Roberto explained why he and Barbie Forteza had their solo red carpet walk during the GMA Gala 2023.

actually works despite Barack Obama and Democrats insistence that reform is needed and their consistent attempts to undermine state's right in enforcing the laws against illegal immigrants. (Example: Arizona's Senate Bill 1070 is being heard by the Supreme Court)
This report comes at a time when the Obama administration is arguing, in court, against immigration laws passed by states to address the problems the individual states have had over the years with illegal immigration.
Note- Pew's usage of the words "unauthorized" and "authorized" is what is usually referred to as "illegal" and "legal". Those here illegally are unauthorized and those that are in the U.S. legally are authorized.
The largest wave of immigration in history from a single country to the United States has come to a standstill. After four decades that brought 12 million current immigrants—more than half of whom came illegally—the net migration flow from Mexico to the United States has stopped—and may have reversed, according to a new analysis by the Pew Hispanic Center of multiple government data sets from both countries.
The standstill appears to be the result of many factors, including the weakened U.S. job and housing construction markets, heightened border enforcement, a rise in deportations, the growing dangers associated with illegal border crossings, the long-term decline in Mexico’s birth rates and changing economic conditions in Mexico.
Among Pew's key findings:
• This sharp downward trend in net migration has led to the first significant decrease in at least two decades in the number of unauthorized Mexican immigrants living in the U.S.—to 6.1 million in 2011, down from a peak of nearly 7 million in 2007. Over the same period the number of authorized Mexican immigrants rose modestly, from 5.6 million in 2007 to 5.8 million in 2011.
• Apprehensions of Mexicans trying to cross the border illegally have plummeted by more than 70% in recent years, from more than 1 million in 2005 to 286,000 in 2011—a likely indication that fewer unauthorized immigrants are trying to cross. This decline has occurred at a time when funding in the U.S. for border enforcement—including more agents and more fencing—has risen sharply.
• As apprehensions at the border have declined, deportations of unauthorized Mexican immigrants—some of them picked up at work or after being arrested for other criminal violations—have risen to record levels. In 2010, nearly 400,000 unauthorized immigrants—73% of them Mexicans—were deported by U.S. authorities.
The complete Pew report can be found and downloaded here.
Utah, Indiana, South Carolina, Georgia, and Alabama, have all passed laws that mirror or go beyond Arizona's SB 1070 law, and it is likely that additional states will attempt to pass similar anti-immigrant legislation during the 2012 legislative session.
Arizona's SB 1070 was the latest in a long line of measures put in place to deal with their illegal immigration problem, such as legislation in 2007 that imposed heavy sanctions on employers hiring illegal immigrants. Measures similar to SB 1070 had been passed by the legislature in 2006 and 2008, only to be vetoed by Democratic Governor Janet Napolitano who was then made Secretary of Homeland Security in the Obama administration. Republican Secretary of State of Arizona, Jan Brewer, was then made Governor. who signed SB 1070 into law on April 23, 2010
A recent report released by the Department of Homeland Security, based on 2010 census data, estimated there were 360,000 illegal immigrants in Arizona as of January 2011.
That is down 110,000 from a year earlier. It also is down 200,000 from the peak in 2008, when an estimated 560,000 illegal immigrants lived in Arizona. Those estimates are based on 2000 census data.(Source- The Arizona Republic news outlet- March 2012)
Police chiefs in Arizona cities say their crime rates are low and are falling, along with the numbers and costs of illegal immigrants coming through their jails. (Source- NYT)
Alabama's tough immigration law caused news article after news article to report how illegal immigrants were packing up and leaving for fear of deportation.
Georgia’s illegal immigration population as of January 2011 stood at 440,000 souls, according to a just-issued U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
Last year, the DHS put Georgia’s “unauthorized immigrant population” — the agency’s term for illegal immigrants — at 460,000. Which would mean a decrease of 20,000, or 4 percent. (Source- AJC)
With the data available for states that which have been allowed to enact portions of their tough laws to fight against illegal immigration, it is quite clear that border security, state laws and enforcement actually works.
It makes the question of why the Obama administration has been challenging states that are enacting immigration laws with Obama's stated position being, he won't accept "a patchwork of 50 different states" acting on their own, despite the success individual states are having with their laws, more relevant.
It also gives more credence to his critics' accusations that Obama is putting his reelection bid ahead of what is best for the country.

Friends. I brought a match to the conscience rights debate last week when I tweeted this:
“I thought the #wrp had left Conscience Rights ideas behind. Always thought this was scary policy. http://www.ffwdweekly.com/article/news-views/news/conscience-rights-need-protection-wildrose-leader-8013/#ableg#abvote“
Although it was retweeted by a few select supporters of the Alberta Party, it really didn’t become a bonfire until Kathleen Smith wrote what was an amazingly personal and courageous blog post, where she felt so strongly against the policy, that she actually dropped what was very public support for them.
But how this came to be a big debate is frankly not as important than how big a debate it has become, and how important it should be to all Albertans who are concerned about equal access to public services without judgement from medical practitioners, marriage commissioners, heck maybe even school Councillors refusing to help children through difficult times. That’s one of the principal problems with conscience rights. It is a very slippery slope where all kinds of public servants will refuse service based on their personal beliefs.
I won’t go through the entire debate on why these types of rights are bad. I fully expect better arguments on this, for and against, and frankly I am happy that this debate is happening. But I want to talk about the politics at play here….
Here’s how I feel about the two front-running parties on this issue:
Firstly: the Wildrose. The issue started here and her refusal to get rid of the policy demonstrates what we are already learning about some of her senior party supporters and candidates; this is a party that has some serious social conservative roots, with people and policies that fit better in 1960 than 2012. Under pressure today, her response was to create a separate judicial system, which will hear the cases of individuals who think that they have been wronged by public servants claiming conscience rights to refuse service. Let’s get serious, a duplicate judicial system, from a party that abhors wasted dollars; so a woman denied birth control can’t get a prescription for the pill. Makes sense.
Second: the Progressive Conservative’s. The Premier (only after it became a hot-bed issue this week), suddenly came out and pounced on the issue. Premier Redford may be upset, conveniently now, about this issue. But we must not forget that she was also the
Solicitor General Justice Minister of this Province when her government adopted Bill 44, an equally antiquated social conservative idea to put teachers in harms way of their proposed separate judicial arm, when parents didn’t like issues of religion, sexuality even evolutionary science coming up in the classroom. I get the distinct sense that they will do everything in their power to make this a wedge issue, but if they were lucky enough to form government next, I fully expect that they will be back under pressure from the right-wing opposition of the Wildrose, and capitulate on these issues again, like they did on Bill 44.
Finally: the Alberta Party. No one has come out more definitively against this type of bad policy than the Alberta Party, and it’s leader Glenn Taylor. Taylor emphasizes that in this article. His statement say it best:
“We don’t have a party policy per se because we’ve just pretty much accepted that this is the normal state of being in, hopefully, Canada and the world and Alberta,” says Taylor. “Marriage commissioners are required to provide the services without discrimination, so they should. And if a marriage commissioner objects to marrying someone on the grounds of sexual orientation, or other grounds, you know, like interracial marriage and those things, then they shouldn’t be a marriage commissioner.”
Taylor says unequivocally he would ask a public servant to resign if he or she were unable to perform their job for reasons of conscience.” (emphasis added by me).
Taylor’s statements, are sincere and reflect what this party stands for more than almost anything. Equality and a role for a responsible government that doesn’t let politics or religious beliefs get in the way of serving and protecting the public. That means when a public servant accepts such a role, they must park their beliefs at the door in the name of equality, and access to excellent public healthcare.
By the way… I am not avoiding the details of the debate as much as I think there are some excellent viewpoints out there that help explain the pitfalls of conscience rights better than I can. Particularly good are the points raised in this article by Dan Sahpiro of the Chumir Foundation.blog comments powered by Disqus

As recently as several dozen years ago, natural products constituted the basis of every family’s diet. Cereals and all kinds of pickles and preserves made at home were eaten all year round, and dairy products and meat were bought from small farmers. Fresh fruit and vegetables, except perhaps apples, were only available in summer.
Table of contents
What is processed food?
Today, almost all foods are available year-round, and the dairy and meat found in supermarkets come from industrial-scale mass production. Pasteurization, salting, freezing, and pickling, which are all possible in the household, have been replaced by new technologies – freeze-drying, mechanical shredding, extrusion, sterilization, modified atmosphere packaging, spray drying, infrared radiation, and membrane filtration.
This is accompanied by various additives in the form of sweeteners, salt, artificial flavors, fat, dyes, preservatives, flavor enhancers, etc.
Such processed food looks and smells nice, but is certainly not as healthy as minimally processed food from home or completely natural food. First of all, it contains much less nutritional value – vitamins, minerals, folic acid, fiber, and the accumulation of countless toxins in the body can not remain indifferent to the body.
Processed food – negative effects on health
It is said that the shorter the path of food from the field to our table, the healthier it is. Conversely, the more production processes it undergoes, the worse the effects on our health.
Highly processed food is characterized, on the one hand, by a low content of ingredients important for the proper functioning of the body, on the other hand, by a high level of harmful chemicals, and finally by huge amounts of fat and salt, which certainly do not benefit our health.
The consequences of its frequent consumption are very wide, ranging from various allergies caused by different “enhancers”, to very serious diseases, nowadays called diseases of civilisation , such as hypertension, obesity, diabetes, cancer, and even depression. Particularly dangerous are sweetened drinks with huge amounts of sugar, all fast food, crisps, muesli and processed meat, especially those described as mechanically separated from bones.
Processed foods – examples
- cola and other fizzy drinks and fruit syrups
- crisps and salty snacks
- so-called fruit yogurts, which usually have little in common with fruit
- sweets, bars and muesli
- instant products
- Highly processed meats, mainly sausages
- Ready-made salad dressings
- Powdered cakes and soups
- stock cubes, fixes and liquid seasonings
- ketchups, mayonnaise, sauces, dressings
- margarines, mixes, spreads
- Chinese soups, microwave meals
Unprocessed foods – examples
- vegetables, fruits and herbs from your own garden or locally grown
- groats, oatmeal, wholemeal bread, bran
- nuts and seeds bought by weight
- meat directly from the farmer
- free-range eggs
- home-made yoghurt
- cold-pressed oils or healthy coconut oil
- Fresh fish, especially sea fish
- natural honey
- herbal teas, green teas, mineral water
How to eat healthy?
Taking care of a healthy diet is the basis of good condition and well-being. It is also a way to avoid many dangerous diseases. The first, but not the only rule of good nutrition is of course avoiding highly processed products. Apart from that, however, we should remember about eating regular meals and ensuring their diversity. The basis of the diet should be valuable cereal products and an abundance of vegetables and fruits. We should avoid animal fats and excess salt and sugar. Drink plenty of water and from time to time carry out a thorough cleansing of the body.

As part of a reshuffle of government departments, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has appointed Grant Shapps as the secretary of state for the new Department for Energy Security and Net Zero.
The Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) has split up as part of the reorganisation. During his campaign for Conservative leader last summer, Sunak promised to re-establish a standalone department for energy.
The government says the new Department for Energy Security and Net Zero has been tasked with securing the country’s “long-term energy supply, bringing down bills and halving inflation”.
In an announcement, the government says the shake-up recognises the “significant impact” rising prices have had on households across the country and the need to secure more energy from domestic nuclear and renewable sources to “seize the opportunities” of net zero.
We need to combat the idea that it costs you money to go green.
Previously, the new Energy Security and Net Zero, Grant Shapps has said that “we need to combat the idea that it costs you money to go green”.
In an interview with the think tank for liberal conservatism Bright Blue, Shapps challenged the idea that going green will cause costs to rise, stating that “it can actually be good value for money”.
When Shapps, the MP for Welwyn Hatfield, was Business Secretary he said: “Green means growth, and with our existing talents in clean technologies, UK businesses could be world leaders in an industry that will only expand, creating jobs for generations to come while also protecting our precious planet.”
CIWM is encouraged by the UK government’s announcement today that there will be a new Department for Energy Security and Net Zero.
Commenting on the reshape, Policy and External Affairs Director, CIWM, Lee Marshall, said: “CIWM is encouraged by the UK government’s announcement today that there will be a new Department for Energy Security and Net Zero.
“CIWM is on its own journey to Net Zero, as set out in our Net Zero Roadmap, and is working to support the resources and waste sector as it continues to reduce carbon emissions.
“Policies that support the move to a circular economy will be key for the new Department, in conjunction with the Department for Business and Trade and the new Department for Science, Innovation and Technology.
“Resources and waste professionals are at the heart of the circular economy and have a major role to play in helping to achieve net zero.”

Japanese people sure do seem to love food. They certainly consume enough of it, what with the country being a) one of the biggest meat importers in the world, and b) the birthplace of the Giga Big Mac, which is almost three times the size of the regular Big Mac. But can you really say a country loves food if it has a profession known as “food fighters”? Yes, you can, because that’s just the Japanese term for competitive eaters.
I reached out to one of Japan’s more popular food fighters, Max Suzuki, to learn more about the world of Japanese competitive eating. One of the first things I discovered is that you apparently don’t get into competitive eating because you like food. “I don’t taste anything during a challenge,” Suzuki explains, “If you put a big plate of vegetable stir-fry in front of me and tell me to eat it in under 45 minutes, all I will be thinking about is stuffing it into my stomach in the allotted time. I’ll only be worried about my technique … You don’t really think of the meal in terms of good or bad. Only hot and cold.”
Food temperature is an important factor for competitive eaters. In Japan, there are a lot of challenges with ramen, curry, and other piping hot dishes, which Suzuki is more than familiar with: “I’m Japanese so I think rice is my specialty. That and noodles. I once ate 10kg of ramen. I don’t think I will ever forget that.” The problem is that ingesting all that hot food basically steams your insides, which might get very uncomfortable, and the last thing a food fighter needs during a competition is a distraction.
“The hardest meal I ever had to eat was a 5kg hamburger”
So far, the biggest obstacle for Suzuki was getting used to bread and meat. Japanese people nowadays do eat more of these foods than in the past, but for many they still aren’t dietary staples. Suzuki elaborates: “The hardest meal I ever had to eat was a five-kilogram hamburger. That was difficult.”
Another problem Suzuki encounters is jaw pain, which can radiate as far as his temples. But he always manages to push through it because he sees himself as an athlete (a food athlete, but still). On the other hand, he says vomiting has never been an issue for him because most Japanese eating competitions aren’t about speed. They are about volume, and they allow food fighters to take their time with the monstrous amounts of food. “Maybe because Japan really doesn’t like messy eating, volume eating is more popular here?” Suzuki speculates.
That’s one possible reason why speed eating isn’t very popular in Japan. The other is that, according to Suzuki, “speed eating and volume eating are very different things. A lot of volume eaters can’t do speed eating. It’s on a whole other level.” Another level that, incidentally, Suzuki has been trying to reach for some time now. “I have my eyes set on Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest,” the famous American competitive eating competition dominated in the past by the legendary Takeru Kobayashi. “All the greats, like Joey Chestnut or Kobayashi, participate in it. My main goal right now is to be better than them.”
Why does Suzuki have his eyes set on the West rather than Japan? Because there is no food fighter league in Japan. “We don’t really have a place to show off our skills,” he says. So Suzuki is currently training for Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest, after which he might take his talents to Europe, Australia, and China. At the same time, he’s also getting regular health checkups every six months to make sure his body remains in peak physical condition, and so far, the only problem he’s encountered was having to explain to his doctor what exactly a food fighter is.

The U.S. Employment Effects of Military and Domestic Spending Priorities: 2011 Update
Robert Pollin and
Published Studies from Political Economy Research Institute, University of Massachusetts at Amherst
This study focuses on the employment effects of military spending versus alternative domestic spending priorities, in particular investments in clean energy, health care and education. We first present some simple alternative spending scenarios, namely devoting $1 billion to the military versus the same amount of money spent on clean energy, health care, and education, as well as for tax cuts which produce increased levels of personal consumption. Our conclusion in assessing such relative employment impacts is straightforward: $1 billion spent on each of the domestic spending priorities will create substantially more jobs within the U.S. economy than would the same $1 billion spent on the military. We then examine the pay level of jobs created through these alternative spending priorities and assess the overall welfare impacts of the alternative employment outcomes. We show that investments in clean energy, health care and education create a much larger number of jobs across all pay ranges, including mid-range jobs (paying between $32,000 and $64,000) and high-paying jobs (paying over $64,000). Channeling funds into clean energy, health care and education in an effective way will therefore create significantly greater opportunities for decent employment throughout the U.S. economy than spending the same amount of funds with the military.

In the summer months, Island cook Jan Buhrman starts her days early. After waking her two sons, feeding her two pigs, checking on her 12 ducks and saying goodbye to her one husband, Ms. Buhrman gets into her car. Rather than head straight to work, many mornings she seeks out the farmers who sell to her. More often than not, these farmers are women.
Ms. Buhrman savors her short commute along Middle Road to her kitchen office. “It’s the calm of the morning, probably the last calming breath I’ll have before the fast paced life of the kitchen. I just want to breathe that in,” she said. Some mornings, she finds she is not quite ready to give that moment up.
So she makes a hasty decision and pulls off the road and onto the bumpy driveway of Mermaid Farm, home to a dairy and an heirloom tomato stand. She parks and heads into the fields in search of her friend, farmer Caitlin Jones.
“I stop and I see Caitlin in the fields. And maybe that’s the last peaceful moment of her day, before her kids need breakfast and her cows need to get fed. We’re embracing that last moment before we have to jump into the world,” she said. The two chat and Ms. Buhrman inevitably will walk away with a crate of tomatoes to work into sauces, stews and salads for her Island clients.
Other mornings, Ms. Buhrman bypasses Middle Road altogether because there is a five-pound bag of mushrooms waiting for her at North Tabor Farm or an order of lamb she needs to pick up at the Allen Sheep Farm. Either way, her stops end with Ms. Buhrman, the cook, trading tips and stories with the women who tend the fields.
Martha’s Vineyard, a community which has long embraced both agriculture and independent women, seems to be in the midst of an agricultural revival. In recent years, the number of small farms on the Island has risen and a new generation of farmers have begun to till the land. In the past decade, a handful of organizations, including the Island Grown Initiative and Slow Food Martha’s Vineyard, have formed to promote locally grown food and advocate for the local farmer. Both on the farm and behind the scenes, women are among the key players.
“There’s not a day that goes by that I’m not touched by one of these ladies of the land,” Ms. Buhrman said last Sunday. She sat on the stage of the Chilmark Community Center, surrounded by a sampling of the Island’s female farmers — nine, including 12-year-old Ruby Dix.
The bounty these women grow, harvest and raise could feed an army: goat’s milk cheese, shiitake mushrooms, pork. Eggs plucked from the chicken coop, potatoes of all colors, salad greens still warm from the summer sun, garlic. Had they been asked, they could have provided the lambswool to make the soldiers’ sweaters and the freshly cut flowers to decorate their table.
Indeed, these women provided the local ingredients — down to the corn for popping — which the Scottish Bakhouse’s Daniele Dominick used to feed a crowd of Island moviegoers this past weekend at the Martha’s Vineyard Film Festival. On Sunday, many turned out to watch Ladies of the Land, a documentary about women in agriculture, and hear the Island’s own ladies discuss their lives and work on the farm.
The film made clear that, in agriculture at least, the Vineyard is ahead of national trends. Twenty years ago, the film said, few women were recognized as farmers. Today they are the fastest growing group in agriculture and represent 27 per cent of farmers nationally.
Twenty years ago, the Vineyard counted among its ranks of experienced farmers a number of women. “Women have been involved in agriculture on the Vineyard for forever,” Clarissa Allen said following the film. Ms. Allen began farming in Chilmark with her husband, Mitchell Posin, 33 years ago. When they arrived, the couple relied on Ann Hopkins and Marjorie Rogers, as well as Everett Whiting and old Fred Fischer when installing fencing, birthing lambs and planting gardens.
“Historically, men went away to sea for a number of years and women have always run the farms,” agreed Rebecca Gilbert of Native Earth Teaching Farm.
The Island Grown Initiative, a nonprofit, distributes a map of local farms. The map lists 27 farms, including the farmers’ market in West Tisbury and the Community Solar Green House in Oak Bluffs, which sell to the public. The list does not include the many farms on Island which sell only to restaurants. Of the 27, 19 list women as either the principle or a principle farm operator.
Rebecca Miller is one of them. Nearly 20 years ago, she began growing flowers in Vineyard Haven with her husband Matthew Dix. They outgrew the space and bought North Tabor Farm in Chilmark, a seven-acre farm where they now grow greens, flowers and mushrooms and raise animals. Mr. Dix works an off-farm job during the week. Weekdays, Ms. Miller is boss. She could not do it, she said, without the community of female farmers on Island.
“With women, it’s like we help each other,” she said. When she began growing greens, it was Prudy Burt who helped her. When she birthed her first lamb, it was Caitlin Jones that she called. “Without them it would be lonely and I think I’d be more intimidated,” she said.
And so, as well as growing and selling food, Ms. Miller makes it a priority to educate and support future generations of farmers. Each season she hires volunteers and makes herself available to younger farmers, including Heidi Feldman, who got her start as a volunteer with Ms. Miller and now has her own farm in Tisbury, and Krishana Collins, who also grows greens and flowers.
Ms. Feldman organized the panel discussion Sunday. Just a few years ago, after giving up her 9 to 5 desk job in pursuit of farming, Ms. Feldman met the film festival’s director Thomas Bena when they were both volunteering on Ms. Miller’s farm. “[Agriculture] is one of the only markets where we can charge as much as a man for a product,” she said in a conversation following the discussion.
“We’re supportive of each other,” Ms. Miller said of this community of women growers. “Krishana grows exactly what I grow and I’m so happy that she’s doing it because she’s a woman who started this and is doing it on her own, and it is hard. I feel so proud of all these people.”
Ms. Collins, 33, leases close to three acres from Andrew Woodruff off of State road. Although she has been farming on and off for years, she started her own operation, Bluebird Farm, four years ago. “Some days I think of myself as a woman farmer and some days I think of myself as a farmer,” she said. “Sometimes, it’s the struggles that make me realize I’m a woman farmer.”
Ms. Collins was referring to the physical struggles of farming, struggles she cleverly works to overcome. “I work alone a lot, so I have to figure out how to maneuver my body,” said the farmer who stands at five feet, three inches. “Like to get the tiller in the truck, I rig up some kind of crazy ramp. I fill the wheelbarrow up three-quarters of the way instead of all the way.” And when she has a big project to do, such as raising the greenhouse she is building, she will reach out to her friends and fellow farmers. “It’s just so much better to not do it alone,” she said.
Before coming to the Island, Ms. Collins co-owned a farm in Florida. Her business partner was male. “When people would come and talk to us to buy things, they would not even look at me,” she said. “It was such an unusual thing to even be farming there. Here, it’s different,” she said. “They’re used to women farming here and being on the farm and being strong and interested in it. I feel so lucky to be here.”
It was a sentiment Ms. Miller echoed. “The Vineyard is a more nurturing place for female farmers,” she said. “It is a more nurturing place for farmers in general.”

New Delhi: India successfully carried out the test-firing of a new missile of the Agni series known as Agni-Prime off the coast of Odisha on Monday, said government sources.
“India successfully carried out the test-firing of a new missile of the Agni series known as Agni-Prime at 10.55 am today, off the coast of Odisha. The new nuclear-capable missile is fully made up of composite material and it was a textbook launch,” the sources said. As per Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) officials, Agni-Prime is a new generation advanced variant of the Agni class of missiles.
“It is a canisterised missile with a range capability between 1000 and 2000 kilometres. Various telemetry and radar stations positioned along the eastern coast tracked and monitored the missile. It has followed textbook trajectory, meeting all mission objectives with a high level of accuracy,” the officials added.
On July 25, DRDO had successfully test-fired enhanced range versions of indigenously developed 122mm Caliber Rocket from a Multi-Barrel Rocket Launcher (MBRL) at Integrated Test Range (ITR), Chandipur off the coast of Odisha.
On July 24 and July 25, DRDO had also successfully test-fired an extended range version of indigenously developed Pinaka rocket from MBRL at ITR Chandipur off the coast of Odisha.
Why news media is in crisis & How you can fix it
India needs free, fair, non-hyphenated and questioning journalism even more as it faces multiple crises.
But the news media is in a crisis of its own. There have been brutal layoffs and pay-cuts. The best of journalism is shrinking, yielding to crude prime-time spectacle.
ThePrint has the finest young reporters, columnists and editors working for it. Sustaining journalism of this quality needs smart and thinking people like you to pay for it. Whether you live in India or overseas, you can do it here.

The 6th Annual Rock & Read 5K is set for September 19, 2015 in Plaza Midwood. What is the R&R5K, you ask? It’s a small community race full of personality: music at miles 1, 2, and 3; a cause that resonates (our local library); and a neighborhood that makes a fangirl of us all.
If September 19th seems far off (“don’t make me plan that far ahead…”) – it’s not. It’s only 9 weeks. If you were training for a half marathon, 9 weeks wouldn’t be quite enough time. But look – here’s an 8 week Couch to 5K plan. My friend’s brother did one of these little plans two years ago, and he just got back from his 5th marathon in London, where he ran a 7:47 pace. This could be the start of something big for you.
If you’re out of town that weekend, you can still join by running a Virtual 5k. That means you register as a runner, but you can run your own 5K from anywhere – like the hotel treadmill where you’re stuck for your cousin’s wedding, the VRBO house your college friends rented for the game, or… your subconscious, because let’sbehonestyou’resleepingin.
(You can also walk. Lots of people raise their hands for that one.)
Set in late summer, the event organizers chose a day that won’t feel like you’re running inside of a dog’s mouth. Plaza Midwood is the perfect setting. I’m not going to call the route flat, exactly, or even close to flat, but it’s enjoyable: you’ve got a leafy canopy, a band (putting the “rock” in Rock & Read) at each mile, and three year olds in their jammies waving ecstatically. Plus, last year there were Chick-fil-a breakfast biscuits, mimosas, cold beer, and Starbucks coffee at the finish line (in case you’re like me and attend events for the food).
But the real reason to run this race is because it’s a way to truly invest in the Charlotte ecosystem.
By choosing to run the Rock & Read 5K, you’re choosing to support the efforts of the Charlotte Mecklenburg Library Foundation, which exists to help the Charlotte Mecklenburg Library create a community where reading, learning, and imagination thrive. Created in 2012, the Foundation supports the Library’s programs and services through advocacy, fundraising and building relationships with others who share a passion for the Library’s work.
The Foundation believes that free and open access to information can change lives for the better, and build a brighter future for our community.
Here’s what they mean: you can walk into any library location or browse cmlibrary.org to access hundreds of programs, titles, and databases. You can use your library card to read ebooks on your Kindle and iPad. You can get all kinds of sessions on tutor.com. And you can work from a branch and use their WiFi anytime (without buying a $5 pour over).
Basically, the library has been co-working since before it was cool.
The Charlotte Mecklenburg Library is working for and with the people of this city– with veterans, with CMS, with literacy groups, providing job placement help and more. All proceeds from this race will go towards keeping this engine of positive change in motion. It will be distributed to fund new books and ebooks, support continued expansion and innovation of its digital presence, and maybe even cover other library necessities like those cool beanbag chairs you sat on in middle school.
You can also support the race by eating at JJ’s Red Hots. During the month of August, they’ll be revealing a special Dog of the Week series inspired by the Rock & Read 5K. JJ’s will donate a portion of their Dog of the Week sales to the Foundation, as well as give R&R5K registrants a free hot dog token. In addition, they’re hosting a registration party on Wednesday, August 19th from 5-8pm, to kick off the one-month countdown until the race.

Russian olive trees aren’t easy to remove, but the city of Casper’s efforts to eradicate the invasive species along the North Platte River received a boost on June 16 from a $5,000 grant awarded by the Wyoming Governor’s Big Game License Coalition.
“We’re incredibly pleased and can’t wait to report the great results,” said Jolene Martinez, the special projects coordinator with the Public Services Department.
Russian olive removal and regrowth monitoring in the Morad Water Wellfield are among goals outlined in the Platte River Revival, a longstanding effort by the city to clean up the formerly polluted river.
Martinez said it’s essential to remove the intrusive trees, because they absorb a significant amount of water from the soil, which is harmful to the native vegetation.
“You won’t find many native plants growing near them,” she remarked.
The Russian olive is also a “poor food source” for the local wildlife, according to Martinez.
The projects coordinator, who estimated there are about 500 trees that need to be removed from the Morad Water Wellfield, said the process will begin in August.
She explained that the department has contracted Johnny Appleseed to mechanically remove the trees using excavators and skid steers. To properly eradicate a Russian olive, even the roots must be removed or it will grow back.
“There will be no chemicals used at all,” she said, adding that the department is concerned about contaminating the water.
Martinez is confident the project will be a success, as the department previously hired Johnny Appleseed in 2014 to remove about 600 Russian olive trees from Morad Park.
None of those trees has grown back so far, she said.
Martinez added that the Russian olive trees were initially introduced to Wyoming by the government, because they can survive in dry climates.
“It was actually the (federal) government that thought they would be an excellent idea,” she explained. “Sometimes we don’t know what we don’t know.”

The sun peaked out just long enough to give city officials a chance to have a, relatively, dry patch of dirt to throw into the air.
At 10 a.m. Tuesday, Jan. 28 the City of Walker officially turned the first dirt on their new, three-story city hall. The expected completion time was Feb. of 2021, weather permitting.
Mayor Jimmy Watson announced before the ceremony that Walker’s ability to afford the new facility was based on increasing gas revenue provided through the city’s utility department. According to finance director Mike Cotton, almost 87% of meters for the city’s gas are outside of the city limits, and have produced the following, rising revenues:
- 2019 $3,200,000 (Estimated)
- 2018 $3,057,448
- 2017 $2,576,959
- 2016 $2,723,011
- 2015 $2,310,013
The city expects that revenue to continue to rise as new developments tie into their system. A fully closed portion of the system runs from the gas department, down 190 to Juban Road, down Juban Road to Buddy Ellis, back to 447, and back to the gas department. The city also services areas north of Denham Springs, and several Watson subdivisions.
Utility rates were increased by small amounts during former Walker Mayor Rick Ramsey’s administration. While the increases were not met with unanimous approval, the new revenue proved advantageous for improvements to the utility systems – including the closed gas lines, as well as a new water tower south of I-12.
In their work with Labarre Associates, Walker eventually landed on a building that’s roughly 10,000 square feet, and three stories tall. The initial focus will be to occupy the first two floors, while renting out the third until the city grew to such a point that it would need the space.
In March, the News interviewed Labarre about the process. According to principal Jay Labarre and, at the time, Vice President of Architecture Philip Kern, construction will take roughly 12 months.
The most important step? Site preparation for heavy rains, drainage, and material preparation.
Labarre cited a project they were involved with on O’Neal lane. It rains a lot in Louisiana, and the site was prepared specifically for drainage before anything was moved onto the grounds. Construction sites, typically, get messy during heavy rains but the spring deluges the area experienced didn’t stop that construction.
So, by the end of 2020, Walker could be moving into its new City Hall.
“Our goal is to give the administration a building to meet their needs for the next 50 years,” Labarre said.
“We want them to occupy it for 50 years,” Kern added, “We don’t want them to regret it in five years.”

A spokesperson for the High Commissioner for Refugees at the UN, Melissa Fleming, revealed that “Turkey received 138,000 refugees in three days, which is equivalent to what was received by Europe throughout the past three years,” Anadolu news agency reported.
During a press conference held in the Swiss city of Geneva, Fleming called on the international community to provide more assistance to Turkey, which has so far received a million and a half Syrian refugees, 800,000 of whom are registered with the commission. She said “this morning, huge number of Syrians were fleeing Islamic State terrorist attacks, we saw them in long lines waiting at border crossings in order to enter Turkey.”
According to Anadolu, Fleming pointed out that the commission sent humanitarian aid to Turkey for about 200,000 refugees, explaining that the population in Ain Al-Arab, known as Kobane in Kurdish, is almost non-existent after most people fled their homes.
Another spokesperson for the High Commissioner for Human Rights at the UN, Rupert Colville, added that the Islamic State had “seized control of more than 100 villages in the same area of Ain Al-Arab” and expressed “fear that the entire city might fall, as the Islamic State controls the water resources that feed the city”.
It should be noted that the Islamic State launched a surprise attack on the villages surrounding Ain Al-Arab on 19 September, which means that the organisation is now able to control all the surrounding villages and impose a siege on the city from four sides after the withdrawal and retreat of the Kurdish forces from the area. This threat is what caused the displacement of most of Ain Al-Arab’s population.

Using A Crow Call In The Spring Turkey Woods by Matt Wettish
Each day as I head out into the woods I carry many locator calls in my vest, but none of them make me feel like I am at a disadvantage if I don’t have them, except for the crow call. The crow call is a great locator, but a master for allowing an undetected change of position.
When I choose a crow call I look for a few key attributes:
Locating A Hung-up turkey with a crow call draws less attention to you, and may allow you to move in to a better position undetected.
Photo by: Author
First, it needs to sound like a real crow. Like any call in my vest, I want it to reproduce as natural a sound as possible.
Second, it needs to be loud. While contending with all the other daytime noise such as wind, traffic, other birds, etc, being loud is extremely important so the sound will carry and strike gobbles at a greater distance.
Third, I prefer a high pitch call. One, because higher pitches seem to cut noise, travel further, and have more impact once there … and two, higher pitch sounds of both turkey calls and locators tend to strike gobbles more consistently, maybe because of the aforementioned reason.
Lastly, I want it to be easy to use. I don’t want to have to concentrate on a call to use it when I’m in the turkey woods, especially if I am using it to maneuver on an already located bird.
Now, on to using the call in the woods. Obviously, I don’t like using the crow call during the early pre-dawn hours until I can actually hear the crows themselves making noise. Again, it goes back to sounding natural within your surroundings. Once the crows start, it’s game on.
Start your crow calling just like you would start calling turkeys. If the birds could be close by, you don’t want to blow them out, so start at a soft to medium volume. But, if you know that the birds are way out there, let ’em have it. The sharp shrill sound of the crow’s caw-caw-caw is a great way to get birds to gobble at a distance without giving up your position.
Using the crow call to get a bird to gobble gives a hunter the advantage of knowing the bird’s location, without drawing the bird’s attention. A turkey will gobble to a crow in response to it, not because he is answering it like he does a turkey call.
What this means is that when a turkey answers a turkey call, he looks for it. It’s another bird that he is communicating with. Whether he comes to the call or not, that’s another thing. But, he is actually talking back to the call, which means he may or may not be paying attention to where that sound came from.
With a crow call, the bird is gobbling in response to the sound. Just as if it were thunder, a woodpecker, an owl, or even a gunshot in the distance. He’s not answering or paying attention to any of those things, he’s doing what is called a “shock gobble”, which means just that, the sound shocked him into gobbling. Therefore, he’s usually not paying attention to it, or where it came from.
A turkey hunter that realizes this can capitalize on a bird’s reaction to the crow call. Getting a bird to gobble without using a turkey call can mean that a hunter may be able to slowly and carefully slip in closer and closer on an unsuspecting gobbler to set up. Once close enough, sit down and start calling softly. To a gobbler, you are a hen that has finally responded to his calling and has shown up on his doorstep. The chances of this bird closing that short distance at this point are, well, let’s just say… Have your gun up and ready.
The other perfect time for a crow call, and my personal favorite, is when a bird hangs up just out of distance and view. We’ve all had that bird come in from hundreds of yards out only to hang up just out of distance and gobble his head off. And of course, he won’t leave. He goes away a little, but when you use a turkey call to find out where he is, he comes back in to the same spot and pins you down. This is one of the most frustrating positions to be in, for sure.
To remedy this, I sit quietly and wait … five, ten, fifteen minutes … whatever it takes for the bird to drift away a little. Then, I give him the crow call. When he gobbles, I know where he is, and if he has drifted off slightly, I will quietly sneak up as close as I can to where he gets hung up. Once in position, get yourself ready and your gun up before you call. Let out a few soft hen calls, and he’ll think the hen has finally given up and come in to his area. Chances are he will come right back to that same spot. And at that point, it’s game over.
So, next time you go turkey hunting, make sure you grab your crow call and put it in your vest. Hopefully this will help you be a little more effective next time you head in to the spring turkey woods. Best of luck, hunt hard, and hunt safe.

Reconsidering the Insular Cases: The Past and Future of the American Empire
Over a century has passed since the United States Supreme Court decided a series of cases, known as the “Insular Cases,” that limited the applicability of constitutional rights in Puerto Rico and other overseas territories and allowed the United States to hold them indefinitely as subordinated possessions without the promise of representation or statehood. Essays in this volume, which originated in a Harvard Law School conference, reconsider the Insular Cases. Leading legal authorities examine the history and legacy of the cases, which are tinged with outdated notions of race and empire, and explore possible solutions for the dilemmas they created.

According to a report by market research group, Counterpoint, China’s passenger electric vehicle (EV) sales almost doubled in 2022, growing 87% YoY, and accounting for nearly 59% of the global EV sales volume.
In the year, the country was the second fastest-growing market among the world’s top 10 EV markets in terms of sales in 2022, with more than 94 brands cumulatively offering over 300 models ranging from just $5,000 to over $90,000. Japan was on top with a 119% YoY growth.
EVs accounted for one in four cars sold in the country in 2022, however, the share of battery EVs (BEVs) in the country’s total EV sales decreased in the year, with plug-in hybrid EVs (PHEVs) increasing their share to 24%.
Local brands commanded 81% of the EV market, among which BYD, Wuling, Chery, Changan and GAC are a few of the top players.
BYD led the market share after an 11% YoY in 2022 to reach 29.7% sales share, with six out of the top 10 models in the Chinese market coming from the brand, compared to just three in 2021.
Foreign brand, General Motors was in second place, while Tesla took the third position after a near 5% YoY drop in its market share due to production halts and supply chain problems in 2022 caused by the resurgence of COVID-19.
Meanwhile, China also has a wide range of EV start-ups, like Nio, Xpeng, Neta, AITO, IM Motors, Zeeker, Aiways and Livan, which are performing well and are giving strong competition to established foreign brands.

Spuds up Bassong ante
With pre-season friendlies slowly beginning to tick past, it seems Spurs have made the first serious move to take Seb Bassong from Tyneside. A number of papers are reporting bids ranging from £5m to £7m as the North London club aim to get some quality cover in for the ever injury prone Ledley King and Jonathan Woodgate.
However The Times is saying that we are holding out for a 2000% profit on the player, with £10m the anticipated asking price.
All of this however is contingent with the club asking the bidding parties whether they would want Bassong at the club should they buy.

ALBANY - It's a five point plan that leaders of Unshackle Upstate say they've been working on for the past two months.
"New York State is home to two vastly different economies," said Brian Sampson. "We have the New York City economy that is thriving and we have an upstate economy that is simply not."
There are tax benefits here for select individuals and businesses.
Upstate residents making less than 50-thousand dollars a year would get 25 per cent knocked off their state income tax.
"They don't qualify for any form of any sort of government subsidy ever but yet they're still having to pay the full boat and the full burden of the tax structure of the State of New York," Sampson said.
The proposal on state income tax targets upstaters everywhere of low and moderate earnings.
Another proposal to cut the state sales tax from four to two per cent would apply in 24 upstate counties that have lost population or have high unemployment rates.
That would include Fulton, Montgomery, Hamilton, Greene and Schoharie in our area.
Those two targeted tax cuts would reduce state revenue by about 475 million dollars a year according to Unshackle's estimates.
They also have three business related tax cuts, including hydrofracking in the Marcellus Shale deposit, which they say would generate 78 million dollars in the 2014 fiscal year.
The proposals will give lobbyists and lawmakers something to discuss in coming months.
