Chelsea striker Alvaro Morata is reportedly attracting interest from his former club after a difficult debut season at Stamford Bridge as the summer transfer window approaches.
Mundo Deportivo claims the Spain international has emerged as one of a number of high-profile targets for his old side Juventus, who want to strengthen up front ahead of next season.
Morata has struggled to settle at Chelsea and arguably looks unsuited to the demands of playing in the Premier League, looking a major down-grade on former front-man Diego Costa.
However, the 25-year-old shone during his two seasons with Juventus and could benefit from the slower pace of the game in Serie A if he were to make the move back.
Mundo Deportivo’s report suggests Chelsea are not keen on selling Morata so soon after signing him, even if he hasn’t looked worth the investment in him so far.
The Spanish outlet also link big names from Paris Saint-Germain as potential Juve targets, with striker Edinson Cavani and midfielder Marco Verratti said to be on their radar.
Chelsea are perhaps likely to make a number of changes to their squad this summer after a disappointing campaign that is likely to see them miss out on the Champions League, but it is unclear if selling players like Morata would be an ideal strategy for the moment, particularly as an ideal replacement is sure to be hard to come by.

If you grew up playing board games like Scrabble, or spent hours trying to figure out the difficult Rubix cube, you'll definitely feel a sense of nostalgia when choosing to dress up a room with these pieces. For example, a Rubix cube table is the perfect way to add a few colorful coffee tables to a TV room. The best part about this table is it'll already be perfectly color-coded so you won't have to stress about figuring out the difficult puzzle to make the table.

The former special assistant to former president Goodluck Jonathan, Reno Omokri has once again spoken. Reno Omokri is one Nigerian man who always speaks out when there is a need for him to do so.
According to a recent tweet he made on his verified twitter handle earlier today, the former presidential spokesperson stated it clearly that on July 18, 2021, bandits shutdown an Air Force Jet with surface missiles.
Speaking further, he made it known that on October 20, the same people shut at a train and bombed rail tracks too, yet the Nigerian government is still calling them bandits. But on the other hand, our focus is on Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. He ended by stating it clearly that Nigeria is not a serious nation.
This is really a serious issue I don’t see why all these should be going in Nigeria, yet the federal government is busy going after Nnamdi Kanu. Let’s try and do properly in this country so that we will move forward as a country.

This course will ponder on belonging and exclusion from a spatial perspective by particularly focussing on the home place in urban settings that can take different forms for different subject positions. It will comprise of different readings, approaches on the home space, homemaking practices and homelessness so that the participants can have distinct alternatives to think through the home space and their own questions relationally. Home can be considered as the space of birth and sometimes as a place of destination. There is small group of people who choose to be homeless but there is a growing number of people composed of lower class and middle class populations who are forced to become homeless due to a variety of reasons. Homelessness can take the shape of diaspora, exile, forced migration, refugee or becoming homeless due to economic conditions. Home, on the other hand, can become a desired space of security and intimacy yet at times it may function as a space of oppression, exploitation and suppression. For this reason, even though the course is going to focus on the home space particularly in urban settings, home will be conceptualized in relation to categories such as homeland, nation, diaspora, exile, displacement along with gender/sexuality, race and class.

Goldie Hawn has talked openly about the day she confronted Harvey Weinstein after he blew up their previous “deal.”
In the late 1980s, Weinstein’s production company Miramax was ready to adopt the renowned Broadway musical Chicago for the big screen. Hawn was slated to portray Velma Kelly, and Madonna would play Roxie Hart.
A different script that featured a younger Velma, age 23, was commissioned by Weinstein during the film’s development. Hawn was 20 years older at that time.
Hawn claimed in a recent interview with Variety, “Harvey sabotaged Madonna and me.”. I commanded, “Don’t f*** with me. Considering that I am fully aware of your plans. We came to an agreement. “.
After the film’s eventual collapse, Weinstein reworked it with Catherine Zeta-Jones as Velma and Renée Zellweger as Roxie. The movie won the Best Picture Oscar the following year.
Hawn was delighted to learn that the now-excommunicated media tycoon did, in fact, pay her the agreed-upon amount for her work.
She said, “You can sometimes win when you stand up to a bully. The best thing about you paying me, I told him later, is that it’s not about the cash. You helped me regain my faith in morality and decency.
He’s, at last, getting his karma,” she added.
In Los Angeles and New York, Weinstein is serving a lengthy prison term for sexual assault-related offences.
He told the newspaper behind bars, “Acting roles were always selected based on what was best for the movie, both aesthetically and financially.”.
“I am so happy that Goldie’s experience was positive, and she has the strength to say so in this climate. We believed we did the best we could in Chicago, and I’m proud of it. “I just want to say thank you.

Entertainment One, who is the media entertainment company that owns the Peppa Pig Pre-school franchise have confirmed that this Album with be the first of its kind for the Peppa Pig Family Brand and as part of the brand’s 15th anniversary celebrations, this album will be released in English-speaking territories, including in the UK, US, and Australia.
The Album will be available on digital music platforms from July 2019, however you will be able to pre order it during the month of June.
This new album will include a compilation of 16 newly-recorded music tracks and will include extended versions of previously-released songs from the Peppa Pig series, like our favourites Bing Bong Zoo, Jumping in Muddy Puddles and Balloon Ride. There will also be some songs on it that featured in the Festival of Fun Show that was in our Cinemas just a few months ago.
Rebecca Harvey, executive vice president global brand management, family and brands, eOne has said “We’re very excited to be releasing an official Peppa Pig music album for the first time in the brand’s 15-year history,”

We hope it will become the perfect soundtrack for families to enjoy at home, on the go and at party celebrations.”
In May another one of Entertainment One’s Family Brands PJ Masks released their album Heroes Forever and it had more than 150,000 streams globally in its first week, so we are guessing that this Peppa Pig Album is going to be even more popular and for sure a Family Favourite in the Car and no doubt every little kids birthday party for the next x amount of months!

MoMA PS1 presents a newly commissioned work made collaboratively by siblings Chuquimamani-Condori (Elysia Crampton Chuquimia, b. 1985, Inland Empire, CA) and Joshua Chuquimia Crampton (b. 1983, San Diego) in PS1’s double-height ground-floor gallery.
Through cinema and installation, Onyeka Igwe’s (b. 1986, London) multidisciplinary practice examines little-known historic events by collecting and combining documentary sources including government records, official reports, material artifacts, and personal memory, as well as gesture, voice, dance, and song.
Daniel Lind-Ramos (b. 1953, Loíza, Puerto Rico) uses found and gifted objects of personal, communal, and regional significance—such as debris, decorative objects, and everyday tools—to produce meticulously detailed assemblages that explore the traditions and histories of Afro-descendant communities in Puerto Rico, the Caribbean, and around the world.

Danish Superliga. Liga 1 Indonesia. LigaPro Portugal. J.League 1. Not many players can boast such unique career movements but Ghanaian winger Emmanuel Oti Essigba is one such player. The 24-year old has just landed a move to J1 strugglers Vegalta Sendai, with the Miyagi Prefecture-based club arming themselves for a tough 2021 season ahead of them.
Vegalta, who finished 17th in the 18-team 2020 J1 season, brought in Oti as an additional attacking option from the wings for new head coach Makoto Teguramori, who is returning to Vegalta for a second stint with the men in yellow after spending the past two years at V-Varen Nagasaki. Signed from Portuguese second-tier side FC Vizela, Oti was the third new foreign player brought into the Yurtec Stadium, with Vegalta also bringing in former Urawa Red Diamonds and Yokohama F. Marinos player Quenten Martinus of Curacao and Serbian Nedeljko Stojisic. The trio will join former FC Barcelona graduate Isaac Cuenca, Polish goalkeeper Jakub Slowik, and Mozambican Simao Mate Junior at the club.
Oti’s signing was confirmed by both Vegalta and his agency, Insa Project Global Group, on Wednesday. The Insa Project Global Group is a Malaysia-based agency for football players founded by Johor Darul Ta’zim player Kiko Insa, who also has the likes of Indonesia internationals Syahrian Abimanyu and Stefano Lilipaly as well as Nakhon Ratchasima Mazda’s Weerawat Jiraphaksiri as their clients.
“Many congratulations for our player, Emmanuel Oti Essigba, who has been signed by J.League 1 side Vegalta Sendai,” the Insa Project Global Group announced on their official Instagram.
Oti had initially turned out for Madura United for the 2020 Liga 1 Indonesia season, arriving at the Gelora Ratu Pamelingan Stadium from recently-relegated Danish Superliga side Esbjerg fB. Unfortunately the league was suspended and eventually cancelled after just three rounds of matches due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, which forced Oti to cancel his contract with Madura United after turning out for the Laskar Sapeh Kerrab in all of their three Liga 1 matches. Seeking out vital game time, Oti linked up with LigaPro Portugal side Vizela on a short-term contract, where he spent the remainder of 2020 before joining Vegalta once his contract with the Portuguese side ran out.

Airfinity’s Q1 COVID-19 vaccine revenue forecast beat market consensus figures to more accurately predict earnings last quarter.
Our analysis estimated Pfizer would generate $12.2 Billion, a figure that was only 7.8% off the company’s results, 10.4 percentage points closer than the market consensus predictions.
Similarly, our sales expectations for Moderna was $80 million closer than the market consensus, just 12.5% off the reported revenue. Our forecasts for J&J and Novavax too, being only 18.4% and 16% off what the companies reported.
Airfinity’s Q1 and 2022 COVID-19 vaccine revenue forecast has predicted a fall in demand for the year ahead and it downgraded our previous sales expectations.
Our team of expert analysts use a unique methodology and approach to these predictions which allow us to provide our subscribers with in depth and high value analysis. We collate publicly available data from over 250 countries and in 20 different languages, always taking into account market changes, including new vaccine candidates, trial results and any other aspects that could have a significant impact on our analysis.
This holistic approach to data enables us to be more responsive to market shifts and to outperform the market consensus in our revenue forecasts. In our Q3 2021 COVID-19 vaccine revenue forecast readout, our predictions for AZ were only 1% off the figure reported by the vaccine producer, whilst analyst consensus turned out to be 30% below the actual figure. Likewise, for our Q4 forecast we predicted that AZ would outperform market consensus. As a result, our readout was only 11% under the company’s reported revenue whereas the consensus was 44% off that figure.
The graph below shows a comparison of our Q1 2022 predictions to the market consensus and the company’s reported vaccine revenues:
Airfinity’s Analytics Director Dr. Matt Linley says, “Our team works tirelessly to build and develop incredibly accurate and granular datasets. This allows us to do strong and reliable analysis such as this one. This level of accuracy is invaluable for our clients as it helps them make better informed decisions.”

Production of McLaren 720S coupe and Spider and 765LT coupe is over, but it’s unclear what will replace it.
In addition to confirming the end of production for this vehicle, McLaren told Automotive News that production of the 765LT Spider is winding down.
Production of the 720S range ends in December 2022.
The company also confirmed that customers put down deposits with dealers and “sold out until 2024”, at least in America, although McLaren did not reveal anything about the car’s successor.
“We’re not talking about this vehicle,” said McLaren Americas president Nicolas Brown Automotive News.
“But the customer, of course, they see that, ‘Ok, you can’t order another 720.’ They realized that production was coming to an end. So put two and two together, something will come.
“They expected that it would be an improvement on the 720. They understood that it was not a next-generation, all-new base vehicle.
“They have started placing deposits with traders, even though we haven’t said anything.”
The 720S entered production in 2017, with the track-optimized 765LT debuting in 2020.
Until the successors to the 720S and 765LT arrive, McLaren will only have two vehicles in its core range: the GT and the plug-in hybrid Artura.
Originally set to enter production in 2021, Artura’s launch was delayed when issues were identified, a setback highlighted in the company’s third-quarter 2022 financial results.
“After 30 September 2022, the Group has identified certain technical improvements that are necessary to ensure that Artura’s customers enjoy optimal long-term performance. This increase resulted in delays in wholesale deliveries and customer deliveries,” the company said in November.
“This has implications related to the group’s liquidity. To help manage this issue, the Group’s major shareholders have committed to increasing liquidity by a further £100 million. [A$175 million].”
McLaren Group confirmed it was in active discussions with “major shareholders” about a “wider recapitalisation”, with the transaction set to be agreed and announced in the first quarter of 2023.

Joe Biden Monday evening traveled to Bowie, Maryland to campaign for Democrat gubernatorial candidate Wes Moore on election eve.
Biden repeated the same lies to the dolts in the crowd. He claimed his ‘Inflation Reduction Act’ will reduce the cost of everything.
“It’s a fundamental economic shift and it’s working!” Biden shouted.
No serious person believes this.
Joe Biden got heckled again Monday night.
Biden shouted to the heckler on the balcony: “Hey, man! Don’t jump! You look crazy enough to jump!”
Why does Joe Biden always say this same, tired line to people on balconies?
Biden always looks up to the balcony and tells people not to jump.

Rustic Cabins in Chippewa County, Michigan
With 458,000 acres of public land and 456 miles of Great Lakes shoreline, Michigan's Chippewa County is a natural choice for a rustic retreat. Hugged by Lake Superior and Lake Huron, the eastern Upper Peninsula county provides a variety of scenic lodging and cozy cabins in the thick of its recreation assets.
An Island Getaway
Enjoy a log cabin retreat on the largest island in the Great Lakes. Papins Log Cabin Resort is nestled along Scott's Bay on Chippewa County's Drummond Island. A true getaway, the Lake Huron isle is accessed only by a 1-mile ferry trip from the community of DeTour. Papins offers a collection of cabins ranging from small and simple to spacious and modern. The "Little Cabin," located just a few steps from the bay, is a one-room cottage with a queen-size log bed, functional kitchen, bathroom and shower. A covered front porch with a grill and picnic table invites outdoor living. The resort's boat launch, dock space and boat rentals allow easy access to fishing, cruising and kayaking.
A Waterfall Oasis
Leave your cares behind and settle into a rustic cabin near Tahquamenon Falls, an Upper Peninsula icon located in 50,000-acre Tahquamenon Falls State Park. The thundering Upper Falls along the Tahquamenon River have the distinction of being the largest falls east of the Mississippi. The park rents a cozy 14-foot by 20-foot log cabin situated within its Pines Campground. You'll need to bring your own bedding, but the cabin has a basic kitchen. Don't worry about the chilly Michigan nights: The cabin has an interior heater and fire ring for warming up beneath the open skies. Rain or shine, you can soak in the water view from the cabin's covered porch.
Whitefish Bay's Honeymoon Cabin
Let the gentle lapping of Lake Superior put you to sleep at night. Saunders Sunrise Cabins in Paradise sit just 50 feet from the shores of Lake Superior's Whitefish Bay. The 14-foot by 14-foot honeymoon cabin is one of six cabins at the mom-and-pop resort. It sleeps two and provides a kitchenette, picnic table and grill. Open the door to see stunning sunrises or Great Lakes freighters passing by. Canoes, kayaks and a flat-bottom boat are available to guests free of charge. Paradise is in the heart of Upper Peninsula moose country, so bring your camera and ask the staff for directions to viewing spots.
Experience the North Woods Life
Drive as far east as possible in the Upper Peninsula and you come to DeTour Village, home to River Bend Resort.

Latriece Watkins has replaced Charles Redfield as Walmart chief merchandising officer. Redfield, who was with the retail giant for more than three decades and chief merchant for about a year, announced his departure last month.
Amid a shuffle of leadership in 2020, Watkins was promoted to executive vice president of the important consumables category.
Before that she led merchandising for baby, beauty, pets and various household and personal care product lines, according to her LinkedIn.
Watkins has climbed the corporate ladder at Walmart, starting her two decade-long career there as an intern in real estate while she was still in law school, according to an internal memo from Walmart U.S. CEO John Furner.
“Luckily for us, she decided to build a career at Walmart and has served in a variety of key leadership roles within merchandising, human resources and store operations,” Furner said in the note to employees, which was emailed to Retail Dive by a company spokesperson.
Watkins’ team drove sales gains “through supplier partnerships, increased innovation, and improved customer experiences,” Furner said. She has also “focused on leveraging our company’s strengths and expertise to increase racial equity within the criminal justice system” as part of the company’s Shared Value Network team.
After these various leadership roles at Sam’s Club and Walmart U.S., she is now chief merchant at a retailer that remains a sales leader in key categories including apparel, grocery and consumer products. She will be the first woman and person of color to take the job, according to Bloomberg.
“Those of you who have worked with Latriece know she is a merchant at heart and has a talent and passion for developing future leaders,” Furner said. “Her enthusiasm, talent and deep experience helped establish the omni merchandising strategy we have today, and her focus on customers and members will only strengthen our position in the future.”
Watkins takes the job as Walmart scrambles important aspects of its merchandising strategy, especially in apparel. The company in recent months has stepped up the unwinding of its online DTC portfolio. The company this year sold outdoor e-retailer Moosejaw to Dick’s Sporting Goods, casual menswear brand Bonobos to Express Inc. and WHP Global, and plus brand Eloquii to FullBeauty Brands. The brands were among the few left after Walmart sold or shut down other e-commerce ventures.


|Doesn't look like 30.8% to me|
I won't repeat his post - just go and read it. But basically, it outperforms, but nowhere near the 30.8% cumulative annual growth rate that Greenblatt reported in his book. Wes Gray has elsewhere noted that Greenblatt has dropped that number from his speeches. Gray suspects that Greenblatt made an error in his backtesting.


Iranian Ambassador to Austria Abbas Bagherpour advised European countries to correct their mistakes and “avoid further miscalculations” in the course of the formation of a new world order. This is reported by the Iranian news agency IRNA.
An Iranian diplomat noted:
“In the process of forming a new world order, the creative and smart steps of developing powers are decisive, while the role of the West is declining. Europe can correct its shortcomings by diversifying partners, becoming less dependent on the US, and avoiding further miscalculations.”
As noted in one of the analytical materials EADaily, One of the main trends in the modern reconfiguration of the world is the growing number of “independent countries” that operate within their own “identity”, trying to defend their geopolitical interests in a transforming international environment. As part of this trend, geopolitical turbulence on the world stage automatically increases, associated with the complication of international relations and increased competition between powers in the struggle for leadership.
As noted Henry Kissinger, Iran stands out among all the Middle Eastern states with its centuries-old “experience of national greatness” and “strategic tradition”. Thus, the Iranian political culture is able to “think globally” and have a direct impact on neighboring countries, playing an active “peace-building” and “order-forming” role.

4 ft. 3500 Kelvin T8 Retrofit LED Tubes
Whether you're installing new lights or retrofitting existing tubes, T8 LED tubes are an excellent choice. T8 LED bulbs can be made to emit any color temperature you need. Here you'll find the beautiful midrange of 3500K, popular for offices and homes. T8 LEDs are softer, don't flicker, and turn on to full brightness much faster than a traditional fluorescent. Even better, the technology for LED T8s has advanced to the point where you can keep the existing ballast or bypass it completely.
Type A plug and play T8 tubes work with the existing ballast as long as the ballast is listed as compatible. No rewiring is needed at all. Type B direct wire tubes operate directly off of the fixture’s line voltage, meaning the ballast is removed completely and the fixture is rewired. Type A+B hybrid tubes are a combination of Type A and Type B. They can start out working with a compatible ballast, and then later be reinstalled as direct wire lamps when the ballast has reached the end of its life.
You can also eliminate the ballast from existing fixtures with Type C T8 tubes. These lamps use an external driver that must be purchased with the tubes to ensure compatibility. You can dim the tubes using the driver with any compatible 0-10V dimmer.
If you need help matching your ballast or finding the right size, don't hesitate to ask our expert support staff here at 1000Bulbs.com/


I no longer knew what to do.
I stayed in my house when ordered to do so. I temporarily closed my own business. I stopped watching sporting events co-opted by BLM. I restrained myself from running over the protesters that blocked my car. I begrudgingly wore my stupid mask.
I kept my faith in our Constitution and systems of government. I encouraged like-minded friends and family to register to vote. Then I stood in line and waited for my turn to participate in a much-anticipated Presidential Election, only to watch my dreams disappear, one stolen vote at a time.
My hope and faith were replaced with despair and anger as I watched election counts mysteriously stopping in the middle of the night, and my candidate's substantial lead disappear as endless streams of unverified ballots piled up for days after the election should have ended. With jaded eyes I then saw how a global pandemic was weaponized to stop our economy and then illegally change the very rules of our election process.
I was overwhelmed with the realization that I will never see justice come to those who have sold their offices for financial gain, used their power for political ends, and insidiously corrupted once trusted government institutions. That assaults on my liberty and speech would only get worse. That people like me will continue to be publicly condemned as racists simply because of our beliefs in The Constitution, small government, and personal liberty.
It was then that I remembered the video of Andrew Breitbart saying simply:
Andrew Breitbart was a tenacious warrior who fought against oppression and tyranny. The "War" quote is from a trailer for a documentary called "Hating Breitbart" by Andrew Marcus and was a highlight of the 2012 CPAC conference. Bretibart died less than three weeks after CPAC and while his life was short, he had a profound and lasting influence on the conservative movement in America.
The full quote goes like this: "I am so sick of the media dictating the narrative in this country. I'm so sick of having to be apologetic for who I am. I'm so sick of people in middle America being called 'fly-over country' or 'slope-headed'. And what the Left has stood for with political correctness is to try to get those with whom they disagree to shut up. And the tea party movement and Sarah Palin and Michele Bachman and Allen West and all the people that have gone out there against the mainstream media and said you're gonna call us racist, you're gonna call us potential Timothy McVeighs? Fuck. You....War"
I found the iconic clip and watched it several times, then began to reminisce about the days of the Tea Party, the Acorn scandal, and Anthony's Weiner. I remembered the way Breitbart fought to protect those maligned by a vicious liberal media and how he shed light on the corrupt tactics of the Democrat party and the Obama administration. Intrigued, I downloaded his book "Righteous Indignation." It is the story of how one man with a web site was able to take on powerfully established institutions in both media, and government and bring about real change. The book inspired me. It showed me how we can still fight. And fight we must, because there is no doubt that a war is underway.
What is happening now in our Republic is not Democracy. The blatant and continual lies and obfuscation put forth by what is now a Marxist Democrat party and its media propagandists are against economic freedom, against liberty, against free expression. And they are working. Chaos is being used to bring down our system, and it is happening throughout our culture and our government. Chaos and lies are tools of evil and evil must be fought. Andrew Breitbart saw this evil coming and he developed the tools to combat it.
Breitbart observed that the Left's first line of defense is always to control the language and the narrative, then, with the ends justifying the means, follow through with bullying intimidation and slander to force their targets into submission. These tactics are outlined in Saul Alinsky's book "Rules For Radicals" which Andrew Breitbart used as his own strategic playbook to attack the Left. He took the fight to them. Refusing to bend to their false characterizations, he forced them to answer the question "Why" until they exposed their true agenda. When faced with adversity and continued attacks on his character and ideals, Andrew Breitbart would never back down.
Andrew Breitbart was tactically brilliant in baiting the media that hated him into helping him promote his material. He would pull them into covering a lead by releasing just enough of it to make them believe that they could use it to destroy him. Then after they had set the stage and garnered all of the attention, he would release the rest of the evidence proving that the story was undeniably true, thereby removing their ability to bury or distort it. I think that today Donald Trump is the only Republican that thinks remotely like Breitbart. Maybe it is time that the rest of us did so as well.
Consider what would happen if Republicans brought a truck filled with ballots marked only for Trump and dumped them into a counting center where they knew a fraudulent Biden count was taking place. The Democrats would stop everything, and then scream to both the press and authorities that illegal votes were being pushed into the system by evil Republicans. In the ensuing investigation all the fraudulent Biden votes would be discovered and thrown out. Unorthodox actions like this are vintage Breitbart. They take the fight to the Left on its own terms and invariably are successful because democrats have no experience with their own tactics being used against them.
I believe I have no option now but to start my own personal war. I know that I cannot go around like Antifa punching my fellow citizens in the back of the head simply because they voted differently than I did. But neither do I have to sit by and accept every premise or behavior that they subject me to. I will remember Andrew Breitbart when exposed to the brainwashed Gender Studies graduate spouting off ridiculous pronoun rules, or the masked-up COVIDIOTS that blindly follow this tyrannical face covering farce, the "Karens" that long to take charge of the behavior of others, or the frightened rabbits that have been told to conform or they will soon die. Instead of avoiding them or accidently knocking them down with my shopping cart, I will ask them "Why?" And do so repeatedly until they either give me a reasoned answer or they just go away. I will also not let these people characterize or define me. Breitbart said that "Labeling a person a racist is one of the worst things you can do to someone in this country,'' and it is one of The Left's most used tactics. I will not accept this from anyone. Controlling the conversations in our personal lives is the first step to keeping our freedom of speech.
My war will also be fought to take back control of a national lexicon that is currently polluted with phrases like "systemic racism" and "toxic masculinity." There are some positives to be found in this blatantly fixed election, the biggest being that even with all of ballot fixing the margins were still incredibly thin. That means that we still hold the majority. We need to exploit that. As members of the majority we can exercise our rights as consumers and refuse to eat the crap that the Left has been pushing out through nearly every aspect of our culture. I will no longer accept, engage in, or consume discourse or programming laced with messages like inclusivity, inherent racism or the gender identity of toddlers. Breitbart preached that politics is downstream from culture and that is why he went after Hollywood and the media before any public official. This is a war that still must be fought.
Much of the "woke" cultural sludge being pushed on us right now is coming from corporate America. They seem to think that we want or need a message about social justice along with our sneakers and soft drinks. They must be shown that "to go woke is to go broke" and I will do my part to make that happen. If that means sitting on a pile of Mike Lindell's Pillows to watch Stephen Crowder on The Blaze instead of sitting on my couch with a Coke to watch MLB baseball, then so be it. Because if Major League Baseball does not want to support free and fair elections they will not get a dime of my money or a minute of my time.
Using citizen journalists and the fledgling internet that he called the "New Media" Andrew Breitbart uncovered hypocrisy, fraud, abuse and corruption. Conservatives need to continue establishing the "New Media" and shine an exposing light on hypocrisy and corruption for those who want to wage this war. Citizen Journalists of today include James O'Keefe (who first worked with Andrew Breitbart on the Acorn scandal), John Solomon (JustTheNews.com), Andy Ngo ("Unmasked"), and Blaze TV reporter Elijah Schaffer who has done an excellent job reporting on BLM and Antifa. We need to follow these people, consume and share their content and support their products where ever possible.
As Big Media giants like Google, Facebook and Twitter engage in cancel culture and social media censorship we need to move to alternative free speech platforms like Parler, Rumble, Locals.com and USA.Life where we can still openly communicate with one another. Andrew Breitbart believed that "the expansion of freedom in the digital world will lead to the expansion of freedom in the real world." If that is true then we must acknowledge that the Left will try to stop it. Frighteningly, there is now a growing need for alternative infrastructure to carry our New Media message. With woke corporations actually taking down entire platforms like Parler (Amazon Web Services) and AR15.com (GoDaddy) there is a need for hosting companies and data centers that will allow free speech platforms to exist. Like Breitbart we will need to flow into every new technological form of communication and use it to our advantage.
Our Republic was built to work from the bottom up and we are not using it that way. Remember that most of the people working to steal the 2020 election were elected themselves at one point. I will Vote locally and vote in primaries. I will Vote to remove the squishy establishment republicans that suffer from what Breitbart called "whipped dog syndrome" cowering in the corner afraid that someone might call them racist if they try to represent the people that elected them. We have suffered them long enough. It is hard to get excited about voting after what happened in 2020. But if we take all of our local elections seriously instead of just voting for the President every four years we can use the system as it was intended and pass our agenda up the pyramid of representative government. This is what can be done to get to the people that miscount the votes, the ones that lie to a nation in turmoil for political gain, the ones that are taking away our rights one politically correct word at a time, the perpetrators of pandemics, the machine, the deep state. War.
We can no longer accept tyranny in any of its forms: masks, shut downs, speech rules, rules against congregation be it in our churches or at our Thanksgiving dinner tables. They are unjust, unwarranted and un-American. These unconstitutional mandates from despotic local officials need to be challenged. Remember that civil disobedience in America goes all the way back to the Boston Tea Party. Use it. War.
For several weeks after the election, I dearly hoped that justice would prevail and that we would not meet the 46th POTUS until 2024. That hope is now gone. And I fear that much of what Americans fought so hard to obtain then later took for granted will soon be gone as well. 2020 has taught us that the political class refuses to stand up to their oaths of office. It is now up to those of us that believe in the United States to protect and preserve its Constitution. We cannot stand by and watch while the Marxists in the Democrat party dismantle what is righteous and just. Because...War

Emma Redington (Lee) Thayer (ca. 1874-ca. 1973) was the co-founder of Decorative Designers, a New York City based firm that
produced binding designs, dust jackets, book illustrations, and advertising material. She specialized in conventionalized
decorations and designed most of the bindings, did some lettering, and was successful at dust jacket illustrations. She also
published over sixty mystery novels as well as children's books. The collection consists of material related to the work of
Lee Thayer and the Decorative Designers (DD) including correspondence, taped interviews, articles and newsclippings related
to the life and career of Thayer, dust jackets and novels by Thayer, and photocopied bookplate designs, binding designs, and
dust jackets by DD.
Decorative Designers (DD) was founded by Henry W. Thayer and Emma Redington Lee, 1895; the New York City based firm produced
binding designs, dust jackets, book illustrations, and advertising material; employed a number of talented people including
Jay Chambers (1902-16) and used innovative operation methods such as dividing labor according to individual talents and presenting
publishers with design models printed on cloth; moved to Chatham, New Jersey (1921); after World War I, they shifted production
to dust jackets and advertisements; the company was dissolved in 1932.During the heyday of decorated publishers' bindings no other American designer produced as many book covers as The Decorative
Designers. Founded by Henry W. Thayer, a Brooklyn architect, and Emma Redington Lee, a young mural artist, in 1895, the firm
turned out binding designs, dust jackets, book illustrations and advertising material until 1932 when the company and the
marriage of Thayer and Miss Lee dissolved. Other graphic designers as talented and prolific as the Thayers worked for the
company at various times, the most important being Jay Chambers, who was with The Decorative Designers from 1902 through 1916.
The firm produced thousands of book covers at a rapid rate. The number of artists in the organization partly accounted for
this. Another factor in the success of the “DD's” was its efficient and innovative method of operation. Labor was divided
according to individual talents: Henry Thayer did lettering and handled business affairs, Lee Thayer (as his wife became known)
specialized in conventionalized decorations, Jay Chambers excelled at figure design, and so on. The separation of design and
sales functions increased output, as did the unique practice of presenting publishers with design models printed on cloth
in order to give a clear idea of the appearance of the completed book. Until 1921, when the Thayers moved the business to
Chatham, New Jersey, The Decorative Designers operated in New York City very near the publishing houses that constituted their
25 boxes (12.5 linear ft.)

Emily Loftus and Stephen Rankin Lunchtime Concert:
Hosted at the temple Methodist church in the picturesque Budleigh Salterton, this concert comes at the halfway point of this year’s Budleigh Music Festival as part of their free lunchtime concerts. This concert featured the Soprano: Emily Loftus, and the flautist: Stephen Rankin. Both recent graduates from the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, Emily received a first-class degree and Stephen was presented with the “John McGregor prize for flute”.
Emily Loftus began her classical training at the Junior Royal Northern College of Music (2012-2014). At RCS she received training from Scott Johnson and Patricia MacMahon. Emily has performed many famous opera scenes by composers such as Mozart, Puccini and Verdi, she has also been fortunate enough to participate in the British Youth Opera Workshops in 2017.
Stephen Rankin, a concert flautist from Northern Ireland, has performed in many productions including the RCS Symphony and Concerto Orchestras as well as their production of ‘Die Fledermaus’. Stephen has had opportunities to participate in masterclasses with many world-renowned flautists including Sir James Galway.
With the luxury of the concert being free attendance with a retiring collection, the hall is packed with an audience which are ready for an enjoyable concert. Modern facilities enable the people at the back of the church to be able to see the concert projected onto screens around the building so they all have a clear sight of the performers. Maybe an added pressure on the performer?
With the programme not being given a strict title or theme, the performers were able to present a varied repertoire of music, taking the audience to many different countries including, France, Germany, Italy, Ireland and back to England.
Starting the concert off was one of Delibes most loved songs “The Flower Duet” from his opera Lakemé. Arranged for flute and soprano the audience were treated to the beautiful sounds which can come from this duo of instruments. Tentative and sublime with both performers being sensitive to the other. It was also nice to hear the full version of this piece as it is easy to play the opening for the audience, as this is the most recognisable. The ending really showed off the control of the playing with the performers having to imitate and echo whilst being stationary on stage.
The concert moved to a selection of solos beginning with Coulter’s “Home away from Home” originally made famous by the flautist James Gallway. The piece harks back to some beautiful sounds of Irish folk melody with the flute giving a tone similar to a pan pipe. Credit goes to Stephen for playing without music, something which isn’t praised enough these days.
Emily then took the audience through two of Brahms’s Gasange Op. 70. It was clear from the first note she has real stage presence and is able to command a room, even though she was singing in a different language without any translation from the audience. The clarity of text when singing is something to be commended and it was evident she had a clear understanding of the words and the storyline.
Stephen then dazzled the audience with his virtuosic skill in Chaminade’s Concertino for Flute. We see the true skill of controlled flute playing in this piece not to mention the crisp clarity of articulation. A cadenza in any piece is always the performer’s chance to really show off to the audience, here was no exception. Taking time and space Stephen was able to navigate carefully through this passage whilst giving flare to his playing.
A change in mood now whilst the audience were then taken through the humorous story of Rossinis “La Regate Veneziana”. This piece really showed off Emily’s talent for opera, she was able to take the audience on a journey through the movement and facial expressions she had to offer. Her interpretation was true to the original score whilst giving a bit of extra spice when it was needed. It was a shame that the accompanist wasn’t as tentative in this section as some of the vocal line was overtaken, however, the pianist should be commended as he stepped in last minute due to the original repiture being ‘indisposed’.
Ian Clarks “Deep Blue” gave a fresh contemporary take on what can be achieved with a solo flute and piano. Playing around with extended techniques Stephen was able to isolate note bends masterfully giving the piece a true songful quality, emulating the sounds of the shakuhachi flute. It was nice to see the audience introduced to contemporary music which is more assessable to them.
The last two pieces rounded the concert off nicely with Emily presenting a short and sweet song “Love, live Forever” by Lehar, and the duo reuniting at the end for Benedict’s “The Gypsy and the Bird”, a light-hearted and comedic song which left the audience on a high. With a standing ovation from the audience it was clear to see this concert was well received with a well-thought-out and varied programme.
It was clear from the first piece the class of performer the audience were to be treated with today, but also the level of musical sensitivity they both posses with each other. When playing duets their level of understanding to each other is something which really is amazing and later I was informed that they are actually a couple, which could explain a lot. Regardless, their level of musicianship and quality of playing will take them far and I look forward to seeing how their careers pan out.

THE next month is crucial in the QPR career of Lee Cook .
Boss Neil Warnock admits the fans’ favourite will have forced his way into the first team by then – or been persuaded to go out on loan.
Cooky has recovered from horrific injuries over the last two seasons – but the manager insists the club’s greater good trumps any sympathy he has for the luckless winger.
Warnock said: “To be fair to Lee, he’s just rejoined the first team in training – and he’s worked his socks off to get there, and I’ve got him in mind for half a reserve match next week.
“He may still get a chance for the first team. But if not, I’ve already had a couple of enquiries from Championship clubs, and that might give him the extra sharpness he needs.”

5000 Gujarati Farmers Want To Commit Suicide, They Say, 'Government Is Snatching Our Land'
The Maharashtra farmers' march last month was a wake-up call for the government to understand how many farmers are in need of the aid from the administration, and that they themselves face severe financial crises.
After Maharashtra, now the Gujarat farmers face problems. As many as 5,000 farmers in Gujarat's Bhavnagar district, battling against the possession of land acquired by a state power utility, have written letters to authorities seeking permission to die, a farmers' body leader claimed.
"A total of 5,259 people, comprising farmers and their family members from 12 affected villages, have sought "icchha mrityu (right to die) as the land they cultivate is being forcibly snatched by the state government and Gujarat Power Corporation Limited (GPCL)," claimed Narendrasinh Gohil, a local farmer and a member of Gujarat Khedut Samaj, an organisation fighting for farmers' rights.
The letters signed by the farmers and their families, have been sent to the President of India, the Prime Minister and the chief minister of Gujarat, reported PTI.
Harshad Patel, Collector, Bhavnagar, said that the farmers had dropped these letters, in which they have demanded permission for "icchha mrityu", at the registry branch of the collectorate. The registry branch receives and dispatches all the letters of the collectorate but the number, however, has not been specified by the collector's office.
The farmers have accused the state government along with GPCL, of using police force to get them to vacate the land which the farmers claimed was being tilled by them for several years now. The farmers alleged that GPCL was trying to possess the land, more than 20 years after the power firm had acquired it, adding that, such a move was against the law. It has also been alleged that the police have fired teargas on a peaceful gathering of farmers.
"We wish for this because we have been made to feel like terrorists by the authority. So my last wish is to be killed at the hands of the Army," the farmers said in the letters.

Effect of a high-density foam seating wedge on back pain intensity when used by 14 to 16-year-old school students: a randomised controlled trial.
OBJECTIVES: No previous randomised controlled trials had been undertaken investigating the effect of school seating on back pain in 14 to 16 year olds. This study was designed to test the effect of the use of a high-density foam wedge on normal school seating on the intensity of back pain. DESIGN: Randomised controlled trial. SETTING: Suffolk, a predominantly rural county in eastern England. PARTICIPANTS: One hundred and eighty-five students with back pain were recruited from 12 schools. Randomisation was stratified by school. The control and intervention groups included 92 and 83 students, respectively. INTERVENTION: Following a 1-week baseline observation period, each student in the intervention group was given a wedge to use on their school chairs. OUTCOME MEASURE: The primary outcome measure was pain intensity (numerical rating scale, 0 to 10) recorded in pain diaries over 4 weeks. Random effects models were used to analyse the pain intensity data. RESULTS: Ninety-seven students (46 control group, 51 intervention group) completed the trial. For the intervention group, pain intensity was reduced significantly over the 3 weeks of wedge use. The average reduction in pain intensity was estimated to be 0.709 points (95% confidence interval 0.341 to 1.077), representing a 58% reduction in back pain for those in the intervention group. CONCLUSION: Use of a wedge reduced the intensity of back pain significantly, especially in the evenings. The results suggest that further research into the longer-term effect of seating on pain intensity in adolescents should be considered.

CNOOC is considering a US$5-billion writedown associated with the Canadian subsidiary, purchased barely two years ago for $15.1-billion, according to published reports
CNOOC Ltd. plans to increase production by as much as 15% this year even as crude’s plunge oil compels China’s biggest offshore oil and gas producer to cut spending.

Plymouth, MA, Considers Raising Mooring, Launch Ramp Fees
October 10, 2015
The town of Plymouth, MA, is proposing an increase in existing mooring and waterway fees, as well as new fees for inland moorings and dock permits, according to an article on WickedLocal Plymouth.
The proposed new annual fees would break down as follows:
- Coastal moorings: $100
- Floats: $50 fee for floats
- Inland moorings: $75
- Inland rafts & floats: $50 for inland rafts and floats
- Inland docks: $100 for the first year, and $50 thereafter
The proposal would also change the mooring fee rates, increase the tender fee from $50 to $100, and increase the commercial dockage fee (for companies that use the pier to purchase seafood and deliver fuel) from $500 to $600 annually.
The proposal includes an increase in the boat ramp launch fee from $5 to $10 per day or, for the year, from $50 to $100.
The increases and new fees could generate $155,780, a $65,000 increase over the most recent figures, according to the article.

While the cast and crew of AMC's The Walking Dead enjoy the response they've been getting for the tenth season, life in the franchise's universe has become a lot like the NFL: neither have off-seasons anymore. With a strong ensemble cast (and a "Big Bad" fronted by Samantha Morton in an award-earning turn as Whisperers leader Alpha) and richly layered writing, showrunner/executive producer Angela Kang did the near-impossible: made the show feel fresh and dangerous again.
And we haven't even mentioned Fear the Walking Dead season 6, the premiere of The Walking Dead: World Beyond, and the upcoming Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) films.
Following up on his look at the future of the "mothership" series, the upcoming spinoff, and Rick Grimes films, Walking Dead chief content officer Scott M. Gimple's fourth and final sit-down with EW to address the controversy over the fifth season, how it plays into the bigger picture that's unveiled this season, and other ways the Walking Dead universe will be expanding:
● While Gimple has heard both the positives and negatives about the fifth season, he urges viewers to see Seasons 5 and 6 as more of a collective – and that much of what went on during the past season will become more meaningful this season, referencing the inital reaction to the second season of The Walking Dead as compared to reactions once the entire storyline played out:
"We've been lucky enough on that show to be able to do these long-range plans. Season 5 was about setting up this journey that these characters are on through there to season 6, and I think people are going to see the relationship between those two seasons. I think even getting to the very end of season 5, the last few moments, really informing that whole season about reaching for benevolence and reaching for sweetness and art and just life and how in the circumstances they're in, it didn't work, and how we leave a person that put that forward isolated, alone, bleeding in a dead town.
I'm curious how people will watch that season in the future. Season 2 [of The Walking Dead], when we did it, we were assailed in a lot of ways. "Why are they on the farm? Why are doing this? Why are they doing that?" I think in subsequent years, people watching that season had different takes. This season 5 as a piece setting up season 6 into a truly serialized entertainment, I think people might see the relationship and the journey, why the journey went the way it did. I was so happy with the way that everybody did. I think it really did come together in the end in this really tragic way that we couldn't have gotten to without the journey that we had been on."
● The creative forces behind Fear the Walking Dead won't stop mixing things up, with season 6 taking on more of an "anthology" feel, while still moving the collective narrative along – though their paths to that common point will be personalized and varied:
"I don't know how much has been shared yet, but I'll share a little of it unilaterally. Structurally, the show is going to change quite a bit. There's going to be a great deal more focus within the stories, a little less vignette-y in telling 16 little movies. The guys are out of the gate wonderfully with the first two episodes, and it is a differentiating thing. It's something that separates that show from the other two shows, telling these 16 little movies, being a bit more anthological. It still is a serialized story, but it's told through these very focused perspectives.
I think that's going to be something that the audience really digs. There's these episodes like Al and Isabelle or June and Dorie that were super focused episodes, that were some of our favorite stories to tell, and we're leaning into that a little more. That's something that's very exciting. Just what these characters are dealing with is very unusual to anything we've seen on the shows. Last season, there was a singularity of purpose, which is all these characters landed in this place of needing redemption. These characters are going to be in very different places now, and that's going to add to the variety of storytelling, the conflict between the characters and the drama that springs forth from that."
● Speaking of "crossovers", Gimple wouldn't confirm whether Dwight and Sherry would be reunited (though the image above released via the FTWD Twitter account seems like a ten-ton hint), but he did clarify that Ginny's group is not connected to CRM. In fact, he used the moment to explain the importance of each series also having its own internalized storylines:
"They are not. That's an example, like when we talk about the Commonwealth, when we talk about Ginny — that is a rich and interesting story, and it's big. We can have World Beyond touch upon it and actually sort of be living in it, and yet it still has this very, very different life in the movies because obviously Rick was on one of those helicopters. However big that story is, we don't want that to be the story of The Walking Dead. I think that stuff is going to be super cool and people are going to dig it, but The Walking Dead is The Walking Dead and Fear the Walking Dead is Fear the Walking Dead. It's not like they might not touch upon it again, but it's super important that they have their own stories. We are developing other mythologies like the CRM mythology within this universe, and this is sort of the first mythology, but there's going to be more."
● One bit of information that we found surprising was that "time is actually going to be played around with" during the upcoming season. When pressed or what exactly that meant, Gimple would only add, "We're going to see a lot of time pass. There is a lot of time that can pass, yeah" – does this mean the series will cath up with TWD's timeline?
● Looking down the road, Gimple sees the Walking Dead expanding across various media formats – telling new and original tales within the universe, even when not connected with the current series.
"We really do want to come out with different TV formats, meaning shorter things, and then some event series, limited event series. I'm trying to get together a number of different things that we can show at different times during the year, and this focuses on characters we miss and we lost. It focuses on aspects of that new mythology. It focuses on stories that occur in our universe and have nothing to do with anything. Nothing to do with the shows or the movies, that are just these little zombie tales that happen in our world with our rules and our timeline but are just really great zombie stories, really great stories of the end of the world. I've been working on that with a variety of people, and that's actually proving to be super fun and interesting."
● Will that mean filling in some of the backstories left unanswered over the years, and a return of some fan favorites – even those who've shuffled off the television mortal coil? That's exactly what that means – and more:
"That's exactly what we're doing. I mean, it isn't the only thing we're doing. It's not like everything is like Gotham, but that's one of the sort of three kind of categories that we're tackling. It's awesome. It's awesome to be able to play with characters that we've lost, and it's awesome to fill in some of the blanks."
Here's a look back at the social media announcement signaling production start. Considering the horribly depressing way the previous season was left, it's never too early to learn some news – any news – especially when it comes to Morgan's (Lennie James) fate.
The one thing tripping us out about the image below? Our eyes keep playing tricks on us: sometimes, that looks like trees and branches in the letter of the logo. Other times? Dexter-like blood splatter. Probably not a combo that bodes well for our separated heroes:

Incidents identified in the Newton police logs
June 6 Police were conducting alcohol compliance checks at Auburndale Wine and Spirits, 2102 Commonwealth Ave., Auburndale, when they observed two males who appeared under-age enter the store and come out empty handed. The officers followed the vehicle the two males were using to M&D Liquors at 1142 Beacon St., where the driver entered the store. The male returned with a box of Keystone Light beer, which were put in the trunk of the car before the males drove away. Police eventually pulled the car over and are seeking complaints against an 18-year-old Newton male and a 19-year-old Andover male for underage possession of alcohol and attempting to purchase alcohol by a minor. The Andover male will also charged with possession of fake ID. The Newton male will also be charged with using a license of another person.

Pro golf roundup: Simpson claims first PGA tour win at Wyndham
GREENSBORO, N.C. - Webb Simpson grew up in North Carolina, and his favorite memory of the Wyndham Championship was caddying for Neal Lancaster as a teenager during a pro-am.
That might change now that he's won the tournament.
Simpson claimed his first PGA Tour title Sunday, shooting a 3-under 67 to win by three strokes.
The 26-year-old Raleigh native finished at 18-under 262 and collected $936,000 in the tournament about a 30-mile drive from the Wake Forest campus where he was a college star.
"I really couldn't think of a better place to win than here in Greensboro," Simpson said.
George McNeill (64) was at 15 under, with Tommy Gainey (69) another stroke back in the final event before the PGA Tour playoffs.
Carl Pettersson (69), Vijay Singh (65), Jerry Kelly (65), Kyung-tae Kim (66) and Charles Howell III (67) finished at 13 under at Sedgefield Country Club.
Simpson said his first visit to the Greensboro-based tournament came when he was 16. His father brought him to the event's former home across town at Forest Oaks Country Club to caddie for Lancaster during the Wednesday pro-am.
"That was probably the most fun 18 holes I've ever been a part of," Simpson said.
His final 18 of this tournament were marked by steady, bogey-free play and a strong finish marked by consecutive birdies on Nos. 15 and 16.
After taking the lead during Round 3 with a late five-hole stretch of four birdies and an eagle, Simpson opened his final round with eight straight pars before moving to 16 under with a birdie on the par-4 ninth.
He stayed there until late in the day. Birdies on the par-5 15th and the par-3 16th gave him a three-shot lead with two holes to go.
"When I made the putt on 15, I asked my caddie for the first time all day, 'Where do we stand?' and he said, 'We're two ahead right now,'" Simpson said. "I knew I needed to play solid golf on the last three holes, and to birdie 16 was so huge. ... I knew I had a three-shot lead on 18, and as soon as I hit the ball in play, I knew it was probably over."
McNeill made a late charge, with the former Florida State player moving to 15 under with a birdie on No. 17, his sixth birdie of the round. But all he could do after that was hope for a few late bogeys from Simpson.
"Honestly, I thought it was going to be a lot lower," McNeill said of the winning score. "I can only control myself. I can't control what everybody else does. I'm very happy with the way I hit it, the way I played, the way I putted."
Several players with strong Atlantic Coast Conference ties played pivotal roles during the fourth round at the country club where the ACC was founded in 1953 - and in a college-centric region where school ties run deep.
Simpson was the ACC's player of the year for the Demon Deacons in 2008. McNeill was an all-conference player for the Seminoles in the late 1990s.
And Pettersson grew up in Greensboro, played at North Carolina State, serves on this tournament's board of directors, won it in 2008 and made the daily 70-mile commute from his home in Raleigh.
¦ Senior Players Championship
HARRISON, N.Y - Fred Couples knocked in a 3-foot birdie putt on the third playoff hole Sunday to defeat John Cook and win the Seniors Players Championship for his first major victory on the Champions Tour.
Couples did not have his best day of putting and missed a birdie on 18 that would have given him the win after trailing by two strokes most of the day. He won the playoff when a second shot on the 17th hole landed a few feet shy of the hole, setting up a short tap-in for the win.
Cook held a share of the lead for nine holes but bogeyed on No. 16 and missed birdie putts on the final two holes, forcing the second straight playoff and fourth overall in this event.
Peter Senior finished third with an even round of 71 and was at 10-under for the tournament.
¦ LPGA Safeway Classic
NORTH PLAINS, Ore. - Suzann Pettersen won the LPGA Safeway Classic on Sunday, overcoming a nine-stroke deficit with a 7-under 64 and beating Na Yeon Choi with a par on the first hole of a playoff at Pumpkin Ridge Golf Club.
In the playoff, Choi's second shot on the par-4 18th went into the water to the right of the green, and she missed a putt for bogey before Pettersen sank her winning putt.
Pettersen won her second LPGA Tour title of the year and eighth overall. The Norwegian star jumped to No. 2 in the world rankings behind Yani Tseng.
Choi finished with a 73 to match Pettersen at 6 under on the Ghost Creek Course.

Counterterrorism clauses intended to ensure that donors’ funds are not used to benefit designated terrorist groups (DTGs) are becoming increasingly common in grant agreements. These clauses can, however, present significant challenges for humanitarian organisations. This section is designed to develop your understanding of these clauses. By the end of it, you should be able to identify potentially problematic wording related to counterterrorism that appears in grant agreements, know how to engage with donors to discuss counterterrorism clauses, and develop an internal process for decision making on whether and how to proceed with funding opportunities that pose risks related to counterterrorism measures.
Where are counterterrorism clauses found?
Counterterrorism clauses may be found in the following types of partnership agreements:
- Agreements between a donor, including states and multilateral agencies, and a humanitarian organisation, in which the former requires the latter to comply with a counterterrorism clause
- Humanitarian pooled fund agreements
- Agreements between humanitarian organisations, in which:
a. An organisation is the recipient of bilateral funds from a donor that requires it to include, or ‘flow down’, counterterrorism clauses in all sub-agreements linked to the funding of the project. In some cases, even if a bilateral agreement does not stipulate that the grantee must include a counterterrorism clause in sub-agreements, the organisation may be responsible if a sub-grantee puts the recipient in breach of its agreement with the donor.
b. An organisation has a policy of including counterterrorism clauses in its sub-agreements, usually reflected in its template for partnership agreements. Some UN agencies, for example, include such clauses in their templates.
- Commercial or service contracts between a donor government or multilateral institution and a humanitarian organisation
Donors may adopt a standard form of clause inserted into all contracts, or they may adapt their clauses, or include additional requirements, depending on the context, the programme, or the recipient of funds.
Counterterrorism clauses are sometimes inserted in sections of a grant agreement covering anti-bribery, anti-fraud and anti-corruption measures, but they can also appear elsewhere, including in the general conditions of an agreement. Donors do not always inform partners when they change the wording of counterterrorism clauses or when they introduce new clauses.
Signatories to grant agreements are obliged to comply with all clauses and to apply them in good faith. As such, it is vital that an organisation review each agreement thoroughly before signing to ensure it is fully aware of the requirements, regardless of whether it has signed previous agreements with the same donor or not. A thorough review helps to ensure that any problematic language is identified, allowing the organisation time to seek clarity, renegotiate wording if necessary and make a considered decision about whether to sign the agreement.
It should be noted that not all donor-imposed counterterrorism requirements appear in grant agreements. They can also arise in pre-contract negotiations. For example, USAID's Proposal Guidelines for Risk Mitigation in High Risk Environments require agencies to include risk assessments and mitigation strategies for diversion in environments it identifies as high risk ‘due to the presence of groups and individuals sanctioned by the U.S. Government’. Another example is USAID’s certifications and assurances, which must be signed and submitted with proposals. Documents like these also form part of agreements with donors, and should be considered in decision-making processes.
This table provides examples of current counterterrorism clauses used in agreements with donor governments, country-based pooled funds, NGO downstream partnerships and development-donor grants. They show that the content and scope of counterterrorism clauses can vary significantly. These clauses are provided as examples and should not be interpreted as examples of best practice, nor as being compatible with principled humanitarian action.
Furthermore, counterterrorism clauses may include vague or unclear language, making it difficult for organisations to understand what they are agreeing to and their liabilities in case of a breach. Counterterrorism clauses may also include requirements incompatible with a principled humanitarian approach, such as vetting beneficiaries. This can result in risk transfer, in which donors seek to mitigate their own risks by passing them on to grantees.

Biden’s partisan staff may feel good about spiking the football on the first day, but it might not be serving the new president well
Joe Biden has been president of the United States for just over twenty-four hours and the Biden doctrine is already coming into focus: say one thing and do another.
Biden’s overarching theme at Wednesday’s inaugural address was unity and rightly so. He won the presidency by just 43,000 votes in three key states, the U.S. Senate is split down the middle at 50-50, and Democrats have a razor-thin 221-211 majority in the U.S. House.

The 46th president’s speech contained all the right words that a divided nation needed to hear.
After all, focusing on unity is critically important to the health of our republic and for future generations. President Biden even went as far to say that the beautiful ideal of national unification is something that lies deep within him.

Nepal receives 348,000 doses of Made-in-India COVID-19 vaccines under COVAX initiative
Nepal on Sunday received 348,000 doses of Made-in-India COVID-19 vaccines under the COVAX initiative.
In a tweet, the Embassy of India in Nepal wrote, "Today, the first COVAX shipment of 348,000 doses of AstraZeneca 'Covishield' vaccines manufactured by the Serum Institute of India (SII), together with 350,000 syringes and 3500 vaccine safety boxes arrived in Kathmandu. #VaccineMaitri @MEAIndia @PMOIndia."
COVAX is a global vaccine initiative run by a coalition that includes the Vaccine Alliance known as Gavi and World Health Organization (WHO) and is funded by donations from governments, multilateral institutions and foundations. Its mission is to buy coronavirus vaccines in bulk and send them to poorer nations that can't compete with wealthy countries in securing contracts with the major drug companies.
On the arrival of COVID-19 vaccines in Nepal, Vinay Mohan Kwatra, Indian Ambassador to Nepal, said, "I welcome the first arrival of COVAX shipment of 348,000 doses of Astrazeneca 'Covishield' vaccines from India."
"COVAX-supported vaccines will complement the ongoing vaccination campaign of Nepal against COVID-19, which was launched with the Government of India gifted one million doses Covishield vaccines on January 27 this year," he said.
"It is a matter of great happiness that India has been able to support and sustain. Nepal's vaccination drive on both bilateral basis as well as under WHO partner COVAX facility," he added.
According to an official statement, the goal of the COVAX Facility is to supply Nepal with enough doses to vaccinate 20 per cent of the population depending on funding availability.
Meanwhile, Nepal has become the first country to receive Covid-19 vaccines through the COVAX initiative in Asia.
Under the first COVAX allocation, the COVAX facility will deliver 1.92 million vaccine doses to Nepal by the end of May 2021, in support of the Government of Nepal's nation-wide vaccination campaign.
"With the generous contribution of the Government of India, Nepal was able to commence the vaccination campaign and to date, 429,705 people have been vaccinated," the statement read.
It further reported that the COVAX Facility is funded by partner governments, including the Governments of Australia, Finland, France, Germany, Japan, Korea, Norway, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, the United States and the European Union as well as foundations and corporations.
Meanwhile, Nepal launched the first phase of the vaccination campaign on January 27 earlier this year and administered vaccines to the frontline workers.
