He said running for President will best serve the crypto community, and he will run for the Libertarian Party if he is asked. McAfee failed in his attempt to win the Libertarian Party’s nomination in 2016.
If the Libertarians choose not to ask him, the man who said that he will “eat my d–k” if the bitcoin price does not reach $1 million by 2020 said that he will start his own party, an idea that gained a lot of support immediately among Twitter followers.
Several tweeters thanked him for his decision and assured him that they will vote for him. Some volunteered to help him. One tweeter created a logo and campaign slogan: “McAfee 2020 For A Secure Future.”
One tweeter suggested he call the new party the “Block Party.” Another donated an “Organic Token,” the equivalent of around $390.85, to his campaign.
Supporters Say McAfee as ‘Better Than Gary Johnson’
McAfee agreed with a tweeter who commented that the Libertarian Party should have run him in 2016 instead of Gary Johnson, the former New Mexico governor.
Several tweeters liked the idea of having a Crypto Party as something to unite them. One commented that even if McAfee doesn’t win, the campaign would bring great publicity to crypto. Another suggested a strong crypto presidential campaign would push bitcoin’s price over $1 million.
Another suggested making the party a global one, not just an American party.
One tweeter said by 2020 a war will be under way between the “banksters” and the crypto community, and there is no other person besides McAfee they would want running for president as he understands the new world order.
He’ll Use His Own Funds
Asked if he would run with his own money or ask the community, McAfee answered he would use his own money.
One tweeter said he would vote for McAfee if he imposes regulations requiring immutable blockchain-based voting protocols.
One of the few detractors suggested McAfee would better serve the public by educating them on cryptocurrencies and financial futures.
A Failed 2016 Attempt
McAfee in 2015 announced plans to run in the 2016 presidential campaign under a party called the Cyber Party, according to CNN. He said he wanted to run because privacy was under attack and governments worldwide are out of touch. McAfee later told USA Today in December 2015 that he was going to join the Libertarian Party in hopes of winning that party’s presidential nomination.
Former New Mexico governor Gary Johnson eventually secured the Libertarian Party nomination for the 2016 presidential campaign and received 3.3 percent of the popular vote during the general election.

Used To Think. Casper Clausen
Used To Think is a single from Casper Clausen's, also from Efterklang, upcoming album 'Better Way', to be released early in January. The song is an extremely erratic affair. Electronic sounds pulsate into my ears. Used To Think has traces of e.g. 'Pretty Paracetamol', one of Fischer-Z's first singles. The whole time I'm waiting for the song to start, until I notice that the electronics is not the intro to a traditional song. Except for some electronically altered words, this song is instrumental.
That is until the mood
changes fully. The heavy electronics subside to make place for a more
bare musical landscape. This may last circa another minute, but by then I'm not
surprised Casper Clausen starts singing. No it does fit the music better. The melody does
underscore the rigidity of the opening sequence. Except for some weird
electronic sounds, there is not much room for frivolity or an exuberant
chorus, making Used To Think more experience than joy to listen to, the
full 8.39 minutes long.
Soul Of America. Jason Mandell
Mandell takes his listeners on a roadtrip through the United States of
America in search of its soul. Does the "ai, ai, ai" Mandell
sings in between indicate that he hasn't found the soul or got scared of
what he found? Soul of America is a song slowly built to a climax,
getting busier and louder. Totally traditional in the way it is
constructed as many singer-songwriter has done before. All verses with a
variation on the line "searching for the soul of America" as the last
line, so no traditional chorus. The ending is an indication that he wound up his search in the
baptist south as the song has a distinct gospel ending. Soul Of America
is nothing special as such, the story it tells and the way it is slowly
built up makes it a gratifying experience to listen to. I leave it you to discern whether Mandell found the soul. The baptist church reference would be a too easy explanation I'm afraid.
Furrows. I Am Oak
I Am Oak has found a place on this blog many times. A new album is announced, 'Odd Seeds', on which Thijs Kuijken re-interprets songs from his career up to now. As we are all bound to our homes, mostly, we find things to do. Some artists write new music to release, others work on their older work and play around with it. In Furrows I Am Oak is scraped bare to the bone. Kuijken's electric piano and voice is heard enveloped by a whole host of atmosphere that comes with the recording. What it shows is that the song holds on to its power. The result is an almost sacred experience. Furrows is a church song for the non-religious (and a beautiful one for the religious). In his semi-quarantine this spring Kuijken managed to create something so soothing and full of atmosphere that it becomes balm for the soul in our second (semi-)lockdown.
Mute City. Price
City in a way is good for its title. This is a song that leaves away
more than it could ever have added to the song. Three guitarist play
intricate notes with at best parts of chords. Each one sounding clearer
than the other. The percussion is a cymbal and a floor tom. One voice,
slightly distorted, sings the vocal melody. Of course all this is far
from mute but a far cry from traditional alternative rock, where Price, all told,
will find its place under. The Groningen based band sets itself apart
from many others in Mute City at least. I can't judge yet on the
upcoming album 'Timesaver', to be released later this month. Mute City
intrigues but I also find myself longing for a release, that does not
come. That leaves the question about listening with joy to a whole Price
album wide open.
When We Go Out. Slow Worries
This month Subroutine Records exist for 15 years and we celebrate this fact with a congratulations in the form of reviewing two new singles in one go. Slow Worries' When We Go
Out is another energetic alternative rock song released by the label.
One of the kind filled with positive energy and bluster. The members all
play or have played in other bands, Apneu, Bombay and Blue Crime and
finally found the time to record its first length album, 'Careful
Climb', as Slow Worries. Also to be released on 27 November. A busy day for alternative
music loving The Netherlands and beyond. Listening to When We Go Out
this release will be something to be looking out for. The song ties a
few qualities together that make listening to this music so enjoyable. A
great melody, little edges in the music that surprise, up tempo,
inviting to dance to and supplier of energy. What more could I wish for
in the slowly darkening days of November? Not much, but attending a live
show of Slow Worries without covid-19 hassles would be one. Why? Because I promise you there's a lot more coming from where When We Go Out is coming
Dry Fantasy. Mogwai
singles make sense for a band like Mogwai, specialising in instrumental
rock songs? A good question but not if the goal is to score huge hits.
As announcements to what is to come later, it will definitely do. Let me
first focus on the artwork of Dry Fantasy. This is a piece of art
worthy of being in a museum for modern art. The crocodile skull / head
floats beautifully against the backdrop of a cave entrance and all the
colour blodges on and surrounding it. The music just floats and floats around a
central theme. It isn't minimal music but certainly comes close, as
only slowly but surely more notes are added, while the rest of the band
rises to more prominence slowly as well. Beautiful Dry Fantasy is but
worthwhile to listen to often? Knowing my love for singing, my
inclination is to answer no, but who knows. Beauty is beauty after all.
Baltazar's members releasing solo projects all over the place in recent
years, it is always a questions whether the members return to the
mothership (as motivated as they once were). Except for one album
Balthazar has passed me by mostly. So to place Losers really in
perspective of the whole, is something I can't do. What I can do is
share what I hear. And that is a band restraining itself. It presents
the mellowest kind of disco possible, where the harmonies are not afraid
to do a Bee Gees or Foxy. Voices race to the highest spheres. It is the
music that restrains itself. "We are losers on the verge of song"
reflects this line. Losers is not a happy song nor energetic. It misses
the eclecticism of e.g. A Brand, while fishing in the same pond. It is the
contrast between the downcast lead singing and the resonating high
voices that give Losers its interesting edge.
I Put A Spell On You. The Kills
has been quiet around The Kills for quite some time. Singer Alison
Mosshart was found all other place but not in The Kills. That 2020 sees a
release of covers and b-sides and other oddities left behind could be
the start towards new activity but also spelling the end. Time will
tell. I Put A Spell On You has been a hit several times. Screaming Jay
Hawkins' hit from 1956 found its final version when Creedence Clearwater
Revival turned it inside out on its first LP from 1968, to become a hit
after the band split in 1972. In The Netherlands even its biggest hit
ever. The Kills stick to the original far more but puts the song through the loud
blender it uses to construct its own songs as well. Guitarist Jamie
Hince puts his own to the song, mining for the weirdest kind of sounds to come out of
his guitar and stomp boxes. All sort of stuff pops up aside of the staccato rhythm. The
rawness of the singing gives the song a fitting final touch. It fits
Alison Mossheart like a glove. I Put A Spell On You has become her song too.
Leaving. Brigid O'Neill
serious song by a serious singer about an extremely serious topic.
Leaving is about leaving for the last time. A song that is all about the
lyrics, the music and melody are all subservient to the story that
needs to be told. A woman's extremely personal story, whose hands are shaking trying to be
invisible, a woman who can finally escape her man, now that her children
are grown. The kind of story the whole world tries to avoid from
hearing. The reality that can live behind any front door, the door where
private lives take place. Brigid O'Neill has this story to tell and
tells it with serenity and dignity. A song so serious it could become hard
to listen to, had it not been made with so much obvious love for the
music, no matter how subservient to the story.
Waterbomb. Marta Arpini
Marta Arpini is a totally new name to me and so is her song Waterbomb of course. What the song did, was bring me back circa 40 years and listening to songs by Mo, Kewi University of Swing and Fay Lovski for the first time. The kind of light synthpop songs with an alternative twist. Marta Arpini manages to have that same light touch in this song. The touch between seriousness and fun. The second touch to the song is like a magic wand spraying stardust over it all. A dreamy quality lifting the song up and up. The third touch is about capturing the phase between growing up and having become grown up in a perfect way. I find myself being totally captured by Waterbomb. A song to dream away with and to absorb fully. "Is there really something I don't know about you?". Undoubtedly, but who cares when a song is so good?

It would appear that with our new president just having been sworn in we are in for the long haul and it should be interesting to see just what President Trump, personal friend of Russian President Putin has in store for us the American People.
What will happen to Obamacare as we know it, will President Trump go ahead and kill it with a swipe of his mighty Presidential Pen and leave Millions of us out of health insurance? What about welfare programs and Social Security, will the go by the wayside or become privatized with the help of our new president?
So many things we have to mull over and ponder. With President Trump having appointed a man that doesn’t believe in Global warming as head of the E.P.A. (Environmental Protection Agency) what help happen to our National Forests and Woodlands and all the protected wild animals that the E.P.A. was set up to protect.
What about President Trump’s choice for Attorney General of the United State, Judge Sessions who once tried three black folk trying to get them sentenced to 250 years a piece in what later was found to be a racial motivated trial? Has Judge Sessions changed his stripes or is that Hyena still running amuck?
I can still see why Bernie Sanders supporters are still so upset at the whole election. The majority believe that if Russia hadn’t hacked into the D.N.C. and the D.N.C. leader hadn’t put up so many hurdles for Sanders that he would have walked away with the Democratic Nomination and then he would have easily beat Trump, No Question. But, Oh Well, that didn’t happen, Sanders road to the president got caught up in Political fowl play and the rest is history.
It’s also easy to see why so many Democrats who though Hilary had it in the bag just didn’t show up to vote for her and that would have most certainly changed the outcome of the election.
Ho Hum,..... Shoulda, Coulda, Woulda, sis boom bah. That will serve to teach us all a lesson for the next time. That adage, it’s not over till the fat lady sings, still reads true to the end. For all of you who screwed up this time, don’t let it happen again and for all of you who voted President Trump in, now lets wait and see if he truly has any idea of what he’s going to do and how to do it in four extremely short years.
Just another, Point of View.

Lament of the Oasis
(What is an opportunity? Some believe it to be a door that opens at will. I believe opportunity to be an oasis in a desert; often taunting travelers with its mirage like appearance. Only the most persevering and dedicated individuals stumble across it. In life too, we tire easily while searching in vain for that opportune moment that would lift us to glory. What we fail to perceive, is the strong will demanded of a strong mind. We wouldn't find chances lying around for the taking as and when we please. It takes a great deal of effort to make good of an opportunity. There is only a slim chance that we'd come across another one anytime in the future.
History is filled with instances of people working relentlessly to make up for lost chances. Sadly, they hardly stick around enough to encounter it and often times give up easily at the first sign of strife. This poem is my take on what an opportunity feels for those who fail to find it; a silent plea to be found, yet despair at being disappointed repeatedly).
The camel's hoofs sound away too far,
Sandstorms snarl in golden ring,
Dunes so high as mighty bars,
Scorching pins flying, painfully sting.
The nomad prays in wait, his load a mess,
Desert nectar he craves, beyond reach rests.
Not distant, an oasis peacefully stills,
His current silent in the wind's wake,
He trembles in glee, a nomad beyond hills,
He sees heaving, sinking in molten lake.
He beckons the storm, demands surrender,
Traveler’s thirst quenched, he would render.
The storm, a disciple, blows in haste,
Rising sandal castles, she sails,
To the lone man wilting sans elixir’s taste,
She promises joy and relief in pails.
Her reward unheard, he wails in pain,
Her flailing limbs blot vision in sand rain.
The oasis weeps his loss once more,
So long ages, he drifts unseen,
Many a man lost in mine's core,
Their spirits wander about his pearly sheen,
They sigh in regret, chance lost long in dreams,
His wish remains for a cloak of determined seams.

Sweeney v. City of Louisville, 102 F. Supp. 525 (W.D. Ky. 1951)
September 14, 1951
CITY OF LOUISVILLE et al.
United States District Court W. D. Kentucky, at Louisville.
*526 Benjamin F. Shobe, James A. Crumlin, Louisville, Ky., Robert L. Carter, New York City, for plaintiffs.
Gilbert Burnett, City Atty., Robert W. Meagher, Asst. City Atty., Louisville, Ky., for City of Louisville and T. Byrne Morgan.
Donald Q. Taylor, Louisville, Ky., for Louisville Park Theatrical Ass'n, Inc.
SHELBOURNE, Chief Judge.
This action was filed July 28, 1949, by P. O. Sweeney, Mona Carroll, an infant suing by her Father and next friend Alfred M. Carroll and James W. Muir, plaintiffs, against City of Louisville, T. Byrne Morgan, Director of Parks and Recreation for the City of Louisville and Louisville Park Theatrical Association, a corporation, defendants.
Jurisdiction in the complaint, was invoked under Sections 1331 and 1343, subsection (3) Title 28, and Sections 41 and 43 of Title 8 United States Code Annotated, to obtain a declaration of rights under the authority of Section 2201 of Title 28 United States Code.
It was alleged that the three plaintiffs were citizens, residents and taxpayers of the City of Louisville and entitled under the Constitution and laws of the United States to the use of the recreational, athletic, swimming, golf, park and entertainment facilities maintained, owned or operated in whole or in part by the City of Louisville by the expenditure of public funds.
All of the plaintiffs are Negroes and bring this suit in their own behalf and for the use and benefit of all other persons, citizens and residents and taxpayers of the City of Louisville similarly situated and affected, as plaintiffs allege they are, pursuant to Rule 23 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, 28 U.S.C.
It was alleged that at all times referred to by the plaintiffs, the City of Louisville, its Director of Parks and Recreation, T. Byrne Morgan, had promulgated and enforced a policy, custom, usage and practice of limiting plaintiffs and all other Negro citizens to the use of certain parks, playgrounds, athletic fields, and swimming pools and denying them admission to other parks, playgrounds, athletic fields, swimming pools and golf courses, solely because of their race and color; that the City of Louisville, its Director of Parks and Recreation, maintain and operate twenty-three parks totaling approximately 2,267.5 acres advantageously located in the City of Louisville, equipped with five golf courses, an amphitheater, pavilions, provisions for winter sports, a lake for fishing, to all of which plaintiffs and the class represented by them were denied admission. That on or about the 21st day of July 1949, plaintiff P. O. Sweeney, offering to pay all uniform charges and fees for the use of public golf courses, applied in a proper and lawful *527 manner for permission to play golf on the Cherokee golf course, located in Cherokee park.
Notwithstanding his offer to comply with all of the reasonable rules and regulations applicable to persons using the golf course, he was arbitrarily and illegally denied permission to play, being informed by the defendant Morgan that a policy and practice prevailed which limited Negroes to the use of designated parks whereupon no golf course was maintained.
Plaintiff, Mona Carroll, applied for permission to fish in the Lake where white citizens were permitted to fish and was arbitrarily and illegally denied admission to the Park, because of her race and color, and alleged that no lake and no fishing facilities were maintained in any of the parks to which Negroes were admitted.
The plaintiff James W. Muir alleged that on or about the 22nd day of July 1949, he sought admission, and tendered the requisite admission charge, to the Amphitheatre maintained by the defendant City of Louisville in Iroquois Park and was denied admission because of the custom, practice and policy complained about by all the plaintiffs.
Plaintiffs sought a declaration of rights, declaring the policy, custom, usage and practice of excluding Negroes from the amusement and recreational facilities described in the complaint and located in the parks alleged to be owned and maintained by the City, to be in violation of the Fourteenth Amendment and therefore unconstitutional and void and sought an injunction restraining and enjoining defendants and each of them from continuing in force and practice the alleged discrimination.
Various motions were interposed by the defendants and on April 10, 1950, the complaint was amended and on May 22, 1950, the City of Louisville and defendant T. Byrne Morgan, filed answer denying each and every allegation of the complaint except those relating to the corporate existence of the City of Louisville and those relating to the fact that T. Byrne Morgan was at the time, the duly authorized and acting Director of Parks and Recreation for the City of Louisville.
Affirmatively, these defendants plead in bar of the right of plaintiffs to maintain this action, that on January 5, 1948, a judgment was entered dismissing a petition, as failing to state a cause of action, then pending in the Jefferson Circuit Court, Chancery Branch, styled "Dr. P. O. Sweeney v. City of Louisville et al", which was alleged to have been an action instituted by the same parties as plaintiffs and involving the same questions as presented in the present suit. An attested copy of the transcript of the Jefferson Circuit Court action was filed and made a part of the answer.
It was further alleged that an appeal was prosecuted from the judgment of the Jefferson Circuit Court to the Court of Appeals of Kentucky, wherein the judgment of the lower Court was affirmed by the Appellate Court February 22, 1949, as reported in 309 Ky. 465, 281 S.W.2d 30.
Defendants alleged that plaintiffs in the State Court action took the necessary steps to obtain a review of the decision of the Court of Appeals of Kentucky by the Supreme Court of the United States, but abandoned the effort to appeal, after securing an extension of time for the filing of a petition for writ of certiorari October 21, 1950.
Defendant, Louisville Park Theatrical Association, Inc., filed its answer, denying all of the material allegations of the complaint and amendment.
The case was tried to the Court without a jury on August 6, 1951.
The parties have stipulated substantially all of the facts, and at the trial, the City of Louisville introduced defendant, T. Byrne Morgan, Director of Parks and Recreation of the City of Louisville since 1942, William A. Moore, Superintendent of Recreation for the City for the past fourteen years and Colonel Carl Heustis, Chief of Police of the City of Louisville.
From the stipulation of facts filed by the parties and the testimony, the Court finds
1. That the plaintiffs in this action are citizens and residents of Louisville, in the state of Kentucky; that defendant T. Byrne Morgan, as Director of Parks and Recreation for the City of Louisville, enforces *528 the policy adopted and continued in force, limiting the plaintiffs and other Negro citizens to the use of certain parks, play-grounds, athletic fields, and swimming pools, none of which contains a golf course, running streams, bridle paths, hiking trails, high peak lookout, or an Amphitheatre.
2. That the plaintiffs were denied admission to the parks set aside for the exclusive use of the white citizens solely and only on the ground that they are colored persons of African descent and of Negro blood, pursuant to regulations of the Director of Parks and Recreation, which regulations have been in force continuously since May 29, 1928.
3. That in 1938, the Board of Park Commissioners of the City of Louisville set aside a portion of Iroquois Park, the total acreage of which is 676.4 acres, on which was erected an Amphitheatre. The cost of the Amphitheatre was borne by the City of Louisville, except for a contribution of $5,000 made by the Louisville Park Theatrical Association, which is a non-stock, non-profit, private corporation, organized under the laws of Kentucky and which at its own expense entirely and under its sole direction and supervision, during a part of the summer season, it presents certain theatrical productions, for admission to which a fee is charged.
The conduct of the summer operas is pursuant to a written contract entered into between the corporations and the City of Louisville under date of May 14, 1947. In the years 1947, through 1951, the Louisville Park Theatrical Association has had the exclusive use of the Amphitheatre during the following periods In 1947, July first through August tenth, In 1948, July fifth through August fourteenth, In 1949, July eleventh through August twenty-first, In 1950, July tenth through August sixth, and In 1951, July sixth through August nineteenth.
The Louisville Park Theatrical Association on July 23, 1949, did decline to sell plaintiff James W. Muir, a ticket for admission to the performance then in production at the Amphitheatre solely and only because of the fact that he was a Negro.
4. The contract of May 14, 1947, between the City of Louisville and the Association, in substance provides for the cancellation of a former agreement dated March 1, 1943, and leases the Amphitheatre for a period of five years to the Association, beginning with the season of 1947, and grants to the Association an exclusive right and privilege to use the Amphitheatre and its appurtenances in an area shown on a map of Iroquois Park, attached to the contract, on dates between May 1 and September 30, for the years 1947 through 1951, on such particular dates as the Association by written notice to the City shall designate, for the purpose of staging its program of dramatic, operatic, and athletic entertainments.
The Association was given the right to sell food and soft drinks, cigarettes and tobacco on the premises during the period of entertainment and was granted the right to charge any person seeking to attend the entertainment, an admission fee, provided the fees and charges were reasonable and consistent with the policy of providing wholesome entertainment at low cost.
The City agreed to maintain the structure and equipment known as the Amphitheatre in a clean condition; The Association, however, at its own cost, to furnish the labor and material to clean up the Amphitheatre after each performance and to pay the cost of electricity from May 1 to September 30 in each year the contract remained in force. It was required that on or before the first day of January 1948, and on the first day of each year thereafter, during the life of the agreement, the Association would furnish the City with a complete written statement of all entertainments produced by it or under its auspices at the Amphitheatre during the preceding season, the scale of admission fees charged the public for attending said entertainment, the number of persons attending same, and other information, in order to enable the City to determine whether the maintenance and operation of the Amphitheatre was contributing materially to the use and enjoyment of the Park System in Louisville.
*529 The Association was required to furnish an audited statement of monies received from all sources and expenditures for all purposes made and incurred during the time covered in the preceding statement.
It was agreed that the Association would pay the City any profit realized from the operation, less $5,000, which the Association originally contributed to the cost of construction of the Amphitheatre, which amount the Association reserved the right to repay to the individuals who had contributed that fund.
With respect to the use of the Amphitheatre by persons or organizations other than the Association, the contract provided that the City would not lease the Amphitheatre to other persons or organizations between May 1 and September 30, any year for the purpose of permitting to be produced therein, any entertainment for which an admission fee or charge was made or from which it expected to derive a pecuniary profit, unless the person or organization seeking to so use said Amphitheatre, first apply for a sub-lease from the Association.
The City reserved the right to make and enforce rules and regulations providing for good order and for the preservation and protection of the Amphitheatre and the prevention of indecent or immoral exhibitions or entertainment calculated to create or incite racial or religious antagonism, and reserved the right, should it determine the operation of the Amphitheatre under the agreement not to be to the best interest of the public, to terminate the lease.
5. With respect to the former action between plaintiff P. O. Sweeney and the City and its Director of Parks and Recreation, it was stipulated that the former action was filed in the Jefferson Circuit Court, wherein the plaintiff sued for himself and all colored citizens of the City of Louisville similarly situated, and that the transcript of the State Court proceedings filed in this action truly and correctly reflect the proceedings had in the Jefferson Circuit Court and the judgment rendered in that action, and that the judgment of the Jefferson Circuit Court dismissing the petition was affirmed by the Court of Appeals February 22, 1949, the opinion of the Court being reported in 309 Ky. 465, 218 S.W.2d 30.
It was further stipulated that steps were taken by the plaintiff in the Court of Appeals of Kentucky, to obtain a review of that judgment by the Supreme Court of the United States by a writ of certiorari, but that plaintiff voluntarily abandoned the effort and the opinion and judgment of the Court of Appeals of Kentucky became final.
At the trial, defendant T. Byrne Morgan testified without contradiction that neither the plaintiffs in this action nor any of the class represented by them had since his incumbency as Director of Parks and Recreation made any request of this defendant or the Park Commissioners for the construction and operation of a golf course of fishing lake in any of the parks owned and maintained by the City of Louisville, for the exclusive use of Negroes; that during said period, no Negro or organization of Negro citizens of Louisville similar to the defendant Louisville Park Theatrical Association had requested use of the Amphitheatre in Iroquois Park, for the purpose of being permitted to exhibit therein entertainment of the kind and character exhibited therein by the Louisville Park Theatrical Association.
It was testified by Colonel Carl Heustis, an experienced Police Officer and Chief of Police of the City of Louisville, that in his opinion permitting white and Negro citizens to play golf, attend the theater, and use the fishing lake and amusement facilities together would present a serious police problem and create a menace to the safety and welfare of people generally attending said parks or using the facilities therein.
As presently staffed and equipped, it was the opinion of Colonel Heustis that the Police Department of Louisville was not adequate to cope with this situation.
Conclusions of Law
I. This Court has jurisdiction of the parties and the subject matter involved in this action. U.S. Code, Title 28, Sections 1331 and 1343, subsection (3) and Title 8, Sections 41 and 43.
*530 II. Plaintiffs have a right to obtain a declaratory judgment with respect to their rights to the recreational and entertainment facilities located within the public parks owned and maintained by the City of Louisville and arising out of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Federal Constitution. U.S. Code, Title 28, Section 2201.
III. Counsel for the defendants have earnestly and ably insisted that this Court is required to give full faith and credit to the judgment of the Jefferson Circuit Court, Chancery Branch, dismissing the petition of the plaintiffs in its judgment entered January 5, 1948 and affirmed by the Court of Appeals of Kentucky on appeal to that Court by the plaintiff P. O. Sweeney, (one of the plaintiffs in this action). 309 Ky. 465, 218 S.W.2d 30. They contend that under the authority of Hansberry v. Lee, 311 U.S. 32, 61 S. Ct. 115, 85 L. Ed. 22, not only the plaintiff Sweeney, but all members of the class that is Negro citizens and taxpayers of Louisville are precluded by the judgment in the State Court proceedings and that the defendants' plea of res judicata is dispositive of this action.
In the opinion of the Chancellor of the Jefferson Circuit Court, which was adopted as the opinion of the Court of Appeals, 309 Ky. 468, 218 S.W.2d at page 31, it is said: "The motion to strike was overruled for the sound reason that in the nature of the case it is clear that this is a representative suit such as is authorized by Section 25 of the Civil Code of Practice."
The principal ground relied upon by the plaintiffs in the State Court proceeding was that the practice and custom of denying Negroes the use of the golf courses and attendance at entertainments at the Amphitheatre in Iroquois Park, was violative of the Fourteenth Amendment to the federal Constitution and constituted a discriminatory segregation, depriving the plaintiffs and other Negro taxpayers and citizens of Louisville of their liberty and property without due process of law and the equal protection of the law.
In the case of Hansberry v. Lee, supra, 61 S.Ct. at page 117, the Supreme Court pointed out the recognized exception to the "* * * principle of general application in Anglo-American jurisprudence that one is not bound by a judgment in personam in a litigation in which he is not designated as a party or to which he has not been made a party by service of process."
the exception being that "* * * the judgment in a `class' or `representative' suit, to which some members of the class are parties, may bind members of the class or those represented who were not made parties to it."
The principal reliance of their contention of res judicata is Angel v. Bullington, 330 U.S. 183, 67 S. Ct. 657, 91 L. Ed. 832. In that action, Bullington was unsuccessful in the North Carolina Supreme Court on an appeal from the Superior Court of that State in an action in which he sought a deficiency judgment after having foreclosed a mortgage against Angel, a citizen of North Carolina, on land located in Virginia.
The North Carolina Supreme Court upheld a North Carolina statute, precluding mortgagees, trustees or holders of notes secured by mortgage or deed of trust from securing a deficiency judgment on account of such obligation.
Following the dismissal of Bullington's action in North Carolina, by its Supreme Court, Bullington instituted suit in the District Court of North Carolina and obtained a judgment, 56 F. Supp. 372, which was upheld by the Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, 150 F.2d 679. Having granted certiorari, the Supreme Court reversed the North Carolina Supreme Court, holding that Bullington, after an adverse decision on a cause of action created by state law, could not start the litigation over again in a Federal Court and that there was raised and adjudicated in the State Court litigation the federal issues involved in the second suit. The Court said, 330 U.S. at page 189, 67 S.Ct. at page 661: "Since it was open for Bullington to come here to seek reversal of the decision of the North Carolina Supreme Court shutting him out of the North Carolina courts and he chose not to do so, the decision of the North Carolina Supreme Court concluded an adjudication of a federal question even *531 though it was not couched in those terms. For purposes of litigating the issues in controversy in the North Carolina action, the North Carolina Supreme Court was an intermediate tribunal. If a litigant chooses not to continue to assert his rights after an intermediate tribunal has decided against him, he has concluded his litigation as effectively as though he had proceeded through the highest tribunal available to him."
Defendants' argument is persuasive, but in the case of Trailmobile v. Whirls, 6 Cir., 154 F.2d 866, 871, the Court said "The interpretation by the state court of the rights of a citizen under a federal statute is not binding upon the federal courts."
The Trailmobile case was reversed by the U. S. Supreme Court, 331 U.S. 40, 67 S. Ct. 982, 986, 91 L. Ed. 1328, but in the Court's opinion, it is said "At the outset it is important, in view of certain questions which have been injected beyond the issues presented for decision, to state explicitly what is not before us. In the first place, we are not required to determine whether the class suit in the state courts constituted an adjudication of the rights of the parties involved in this litigation. That question was presented to the District Court and the Circuit Court of Appeals. Both determined it adversely to petitioners, but no error was assigned to this ruling in the petition for certiorari. The question is therefore not before this Court and we express no opinion concerning it." (Emphasis added)
In view of the positive statement of the Court of Appeals of this Circuit in the Trailmobile case, which was unchallenged on the appeal, this Court denies the plea of res judicata.
IV. The defense on the merits by the Louisville Park Theatrical Association is the same defense interposed by and upheld by the Court in the state court proceedings, that is that the denial of admission to the Amphitheatre was not made by the City of Louisville or its Director of Parks, but by the Association in a "proper exercise" of its rights and as held by the Court of Appeals of Kentucky; "Insofar as the use of the amphitheater is concerned the petition is defective in that it does not allege that the plaintiff and those whom he represents among the colored race have ever made application to form an association and erect an amphitheater in one of their own parks as a facility which has been granted to those of the white race as represented by the Park Theatrical Association." [309 Ky. 468, 218 S.W.2d at page 36.]
One disparagement in the facts stated in the state court proceedings to the facts as stipulated in this action is that in the state court proceeding, it is stated that the petition alleged and the Court takes judicial notice of the fact that the Amphitheatre was erected by an association of the citizens of the white race and paid for by them, while it is stipulated in this action that the Amphitheatre was erected at the cost of the City of Louisville except for a $5,000 contribution made by the Park Theatrical Association. However, it seems to this Court that there has been no discrimination because nowhere is it alleged, proven in evidence or stipulated that the plaintiff Muir, or any organization to which he belongs have ever sought to secure possession of the Amphitheatre for the purpose of providing therein entertainment procured and paid for by them without cost or expense to the City of Louisville.
In the case of Lawrence v. Hancock, D.C. W.Va., 76 F. Supp. 1004, 1005, the question determined was thus stated "Can a municipality by leasing a swimming pool constructed with public funds to a private association of persons, relieve itself of the constitutional obligation to afford colored citizens equal rights with those of white citizens in the use of the public recreational facilities thereby provided?"
The Court there held that a city in allowing various groups to lease the Auditorium for private operation for a short period of time or to some particular group or association, allowing at the same time any Negro organization to lease the pool under the same terms on a non-discriminatory basis, did not violate the Fourteenth Amendment.
*532 The Court refers to the case of Harris v. City of St. Louis, 233 Mo.App. 911, 111 S.W.2d 995.
In the case at bar, the Louisville Park Theatrical Association incurs all financial responsibility incident to contracting with the producing companies which stage the exhibitions. The City incurs no financial responsibility in that respect and has no voice in the sale of tickets and has supervision of the admission charges only to the extent of keeping them on the basis of reasonableness in order to promote widespread attendance. The days which the Theatrical Association actually occupies the Amphitheatre are comparatively few; for instance, approximately thirty days and not a sufficient length of time to interfere with a similar use and occupancy of the Amphitheatre for like purposes by another or other organization.
The contract of leasing between the City and the Theatrical Association does not by its terms prohibit other organizations from using it nor was there any proof that other organizations have not used it. It therefore appears that the conclusion of the state court, that the denial of the right of admission to the plaintiff Muir was a proper exercise of the rights of the Association, is legally sound. It is therefore concluded that the complaint as to the Louisville Park Theatrical Association is without merit as to the City of Louisville, insofar as it relates to the Amphitheatre in Iroquois Park.
V. With respect to the golf courses, a different situation exists.
The City of Louisville owns, maintains and operates the golf courses which are all located within the parks set aside by the City for the exclusive use of white persons. None of the parks set aside for use by the Negroes is equipped with a golf course.
In the case of Beal et al. v. Holcombe, Mayor of Houston, Texas et al., 103 F. Supp. 218, recently decided by Judge T. M. Kennerly, in the District Court for the Southern District of Texas, Houston Division, the facts are much like those in the present case. The City of Houston maintains a system of public parks. Of a total of 21 parks in the system, 17 were maintained for the exclusive use of white people, in 3 of which there were golf courses. The remaining 4 parks in the system, in none of which was there a golf course, were maintained for the exclusive use of Negroes. It is held, on the authority of Plessy v. Ferguson, 163 U.S. 537, 16 S. Ct. 1138, 41 L. Ed. 256, considered in the light of the subsequent cases of Sweatt v. Painter, 339 U.S. 629, 70 S. Ct. 848, 94 L. Ed. 1114; Henderson v. U. S., 339 U.S. 816, 70 S. Ct. 843, 94 L. Ed. 1302; McLaurin v. Oklahoma State Regents, 339 U.S. 637, 70 S. Ct. 851, 94 L. Ed. 1149 and Rice v. Arnold, 340 U.S. 848, 71 S. Ct. 77, 95 L. Ed. 621, that "* * * the action of the City of Houston in setting aside certain of its parks for the use of white people and certain others for the use of Negroes may be regarded as lawful, if the facilities furnished or provided for each race are substantially equal."
The Court concludes that the failure to provide golf courses in parks used by the Negroes is not either as a matter of law or fact, a discrimination against the Negroes.
In Rice v. Arnold, Fla., 54 So. 2d 114, the Florida Supreme Court, in compliance with the mandate of the United States Supreme Court, 340 U.S. 848, 71 S. Ct. 77, 95 L. Ed. 621, reconsidered its former holdings and opinion, Fla., 45 So. 2d 195 "in the light of" Sweatt v. Painter, supra, and McLaurin v. Oklahoma State Regents, supra, and held for the second time that an allocation of certain days for the use of a municipally owned golf course in Miami, Florida, exclusively by colored persons and the allocation of certain days for the use of the course exclusively by white persons was not a denial of the constitutional rights to either the Negro or white persons and that providing separate but equal facilities for persons of different races as enunciated in Plessy v. Ferguson, 163 U.S. 537, 16 S. Ct. 1138, 41 L. Ed. 256, had been since the adoption of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution, not violative of it.
In Boyer v. Garrett, D.C.Md., 88 F. Supp. 353, Judge Chesnut declined to strike down the doctrine that segregation of races with *533 respect to facilities afforded by the State for its citizens is within the constitutional exercise of the police power of the states respectively, provided, that the separate facilities afforded different races are substantially equal. On appeal, the District Court's decision was affirmed Boyer v. Garrett et al., 4 Cir., 183 F.2d 582; certiorari denied 340 U.S. 912, 71 S. Ct. 293, 95 L. Ed. 659.
The Board of Park Commissioners was created by Article VIII of Chapter 89-1 of Carrolls Kentucky Statutes. By Section 2848, the powers and duties of that Board were defined, among which was the power "to adopt rules and regulations for the reasonable and proper use, and for preventing injuries to or misuse of all parks, * * and park property generally; and to prevent disorder and improper conduct within the precincts of any park or inclosure, * * under control of said board of park commissioners. The police power of the city shall extend over the said park property of every kind as the same is or shall be acquired".
The Board under authority of this statute issued rules which assigned to Negroes in Louisville certain parks for their exclusive use and to white people certain other parks. William Warley challenged these rulings as invalid because in violation of the Fourteenth Amendment. The Court of Appeals in Warley v. Board of Park Com'rs, 233 Ky. 688, 26 S.W.2d 554 denied this contention on authority, among other cases, of Plessy v. Ferguson, 163 U.S. 537, 540, 16 S. Ct. 1138, 41 L. Ed. 256.
K.R.S. Section 97.250(2) confers upon the Director of Parks and Recreation power to make rules for the reasonable and proper use, management and control of park property.
It is concluded that the defendant Morgan, as Director of Parks and Recreation had the right to make and enforce the existing rules which, in effect, segregate the Negroes and white people in their enjoyment of the parks and recreational facilities, provided the facilities furnished are substantially equivalent for the two races.
As said by Judge Chesnut in Law v. Mayor and City Council of Baltimore, D. C.Md., 78 F. Supp. 346, 350: "The City is under no legal obligation to provide golfing facilities as a particular feature of its whole park services and presumably may constitutionally and lawfully discontinue golfing facilities as a recreation pleasure at any time. Nor is it meant to rule that it is not within the power of the Board in its judgment, pursuant to the general policy of segregation, to establish separate golf courses for white and colored citizens. But so long as the City furnishes golfing facilities the quality must be substantially equivalent for the two races."
In the Law case, supra, it was contended by the City that furnishing to the Negroes exclusively a nine hole course and furnishing to the white golfers three eighteen hole courses was equal facilities, the number of Negro golfers numbering less than 100 compared to 5000 or more white golfers. The Court rejected this contention and held that the plaintiff had a personal constitutional right to substantially equal facilities with white golfers and was entitled to enjoy the opportunity of the game afforded by the better golf course.
In the case at bar, there is no question of equal facilities for playing golf. The parks set aside for Negroes are not equipped with golf courses. Negroes are entitled to participate in the enjoyment of golf courses built and maintained with public funds.
It was suggested by defendant Morgan that if demand by the Negroes was made, he would recommend that the City construct and operate a golf course in one of the parks provided for use exclusively for Negroes. Whatever effect this offer may have upon the controversy in the future, it can have no weight presently. This case must be determined upon the existing facts and plaintiffs' present rights. State of Missouri ex rel. Gaines v. Canada, 305 U.S. 337, 345, 59 S. Ct. 232, 83 L. Ed. 208.
What is here said in respect of the golf courses is equally applicable to the fishing lake. The plaintiff, Mona Carroll, is entitled to enjoy this facility, it not being claimed by the City that an equivalent facility is available in any of the parks set aside for Negroes.
*534 It becomes the duty of the Director of Parks and Recreation to provide facilities for plaintiff P. O. Sweeney and Mona Carroll and the class represented by them respectively, for playing golf and fishing upon a basis and with facilities substantially equivalent to those furnished in that respect to white persons. How this shall be done presents a problem for the Director of Parks and Recreation, to determine what shall be done to afford substantially equal facilities to Negro golfers, necessarily having consideration for the number of Negro golfers. Law v. Mayor et al., 78 F.Supp. at page 351.
The Director and the City, in providing equal facilities, are authorized by the police power inherent in them to make such rules and regulations as will secure public peace and safety. Berea College v. Commonwealth, 123 Ky. 209, 94 S.W. 623.
A judgment adjudicating the rights of the parties as here found will be tendered by Counsel for plaintiffs, upon notice to opposing Counsel.
Amended Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law
On page 17 of this Court's memorandum [102 F. Supp. 533] it is said "What is here said in respect of the golf courses is equally applicable to the fishing lake. The plaintiff, Mona Carroll, is entitled to enjoy this facility, it not being claimed by the City that an equivalent facility is available in any of the parks set aside for Negroes."
It is further concluded, as one of the Conclusions of Law, that it is the duty of the Director of Parks and Recreation to provide facilities for plaintiff Mona Carroll, and the class represented by her, for fishing, upon a basis and with facilities substantially equivalent to those furnished in that respect to white persons.
Counsel have agreed that Mona Carroll produced no evidence, on which it might be found as a fact or on which a conclusion of law might be founded, that fishing facilities were not afforded to Negroes in the parks set apart for the exclusive use of Negroes substantially equivalent to those provided for the exclusive use of white persons.
The Court, therefore, deletes from its memorandum the above quoted paragraph with respect to the fishing lake and all of the conclusions of law holding that the Director of Parks and Recreation shall provide facilities for the plaintiff Mona Carroll and the class represented by her for fishing.NOTES

I have always loved and adored musicals but I am fully aware that the genre seems to be the most difficult to please people who aren’t the biggest fans of them. After rewatching Chicago and the up and coming release of In the Heights it has me thinking about musicals going from stage to screen. Then if you have actually seen them on stage before the film adaptation or if you see the film first and then the stage musical. For obvious reasons a lot of changes have to be made when taking a show from the stage and putting it on screen, this is the main reason I feel Wicked has been left in production for around 12 years now. It’s one of my favourite stage musicals that I have currently seen nine times, but I really cannot picture how it will transfer to film without losing its magic and quite frankly being rather ridiculous on screen?
In the Heights is a show that I have been very lucky to see on stage twice, the first time on Broadway the night before it won the Tony Award for Best New Musical in 2008 and then in the West End in 2016. Both times I appreciated the unique nature of the music and quite frankly I think it is better than Hamilton. Both obviously coming from the genius mind of Lin-Manuel Miranda, seeing him perform on Broadway was certainly very special. I have been looking forward to seeing the film adaption of In the Heights since it was announced and that is now only a few weeks away. The reviews that have been released so far have been extremely positive and this increases my excitement to see the film. As we always seem to go through phases with musicals and one often leads to more being released.
I am really hoping that people who are not the biggest fans of musicals will give In the Heights a watch though as it really is not like any other musical you have seen before, we have come a very long way from the traditional musical numbers and acting. The rap/hiphop style is something so unique and different that it is a true joy to witness, I feel I have now moved more into begging people to see it, even though I haven’t myself yet either. I just hope audiences will be open minded and see something that dares to be different.
That’s right Star is coming to Disney+ here in the UK and that means so much more content, that will be updated with more content as time goes on. This is an amazing addition to the service and it will probably be worth checking out the TV Shows as some will be removed from other services.
Here we go with my run down of everything I managed to catch at the Theatre in 2018, this includes plenty of UK Touring shows coming to Newcastle’s Theatre Royal and the Sunderland Empire. I squeezed in a few London trips and even another New York trip thanks to my marathon place!
In 2016 I managed to see 31 shows. In 2017 I managed to see 36 shows. My total for this year 2018 was 26 different shows. Not as many as the previous two years, but still a very impressive number. Check out which shows here!
Tomorrow I am going to see Evita for the third time and it really is one of my favourite shows. So many fantastic ballads and moments in what can only be described as a truly depressing evening at the theatre. But I mean that in truly the best way possible as it is haunting and heartbreaking in a well amazing way!
Here is Madelena Alberto (who is in current UK tour) singing Don’t Cry For Me Argentina
In 2014 I managed to go and see 15 musicals and plays on stage in both the North East (Sunderland Empire or Theatre Newcastle) as well as trips to London to see them in the West End. I also caught Monty Python and a concert of Elaine Paige. It has been an incredible year for going to see plenty of shows and live acting. I honestly didn’t realise I had seen so many until getting ready to do this blog post.
Along with seeing an absolute icon in Elaine Paige in her farewell concert, I also managed a last-minute trip to see the legend of Angela Lansbury on her return to the West End after 30 years in Blithe Spirit. But it doesn’t stop there, I got to meet one of my favourite actors Bill Nighy after the incredible Skylight and an added bonus of Carey Mulligan! What a day that was.
When I came across this fantastic Blogathon idea by Rachel over at Rachel’s Theatre Reviews and Rosie over at The Rosebud Cinema. It was something that I just had to get involved with, because as well as loving the cinema and films I have a passion for the theatre and seeing shows. This is something which I have now properly been doing for the past 10 years, yes realising that has made me stop and think, so it seems to be a perfect time to put together this blog post. I am going to look at all of the different shows I have seen on the stage and then also seen the film version.

Objective: To know the significance of trigger point as an indicator of aberrant vascular loop in patients
with trigeminal neuralgia.
Material and Methods: This study was performed in the department of neurosurgery Postgraduate
Medical Institute, Lady Reading Hospital, Peshawar from May 2003 to April 2006. Patients with clinical
history of trigeminal neuralgia were admitted for micro vascular decompression. Detailed clinical history,
along with clinical findings particularly side and site of trigger point of trigeminal pain were documented.
Imaging studies like CT, MRI were done in these cases and per-operative findings were documented after
Results: Forty-three patients with trigeminal neuralgia were operated for micro vascular decompression
during the study period. There were 24 (55.8%) males and 19 (44.2%) females with ratio of 1.2: 1, and a
mean age of 53 years. Duration of symptoms was from 3 to 7 years. A total of 43 cases of trigeminal
neuralgia were recorded. Right side was involved in 19 and left side in 24 cases. Peri-oral and peri-nasal
trigger point was observed in 39 (90.7%) cases during examination while offending arterial loop was seen
in 35 (81.4%) cases per-operatively, thick arachnoid adhesion in 4 (9.3%) cases and veins in 4 (9.3%)
Conclusion: Trigger point during clinical examination indicated the presence of offending arterial loops
in patients with trigeminal neuralgia.

Is it possible to hold on to your dignity in the face of ultimate human struggle? Cold, hungry, and humiliated illegal Georgina immigrants from the former Soviet Union fight for their survival on the streets of Brooklyn, New York.
Levan Koguashvili received his B.F.A. from the Russian State Institute of Film (VGIK) and is now an M.F.A. candidate at New York University's Tisch School of the Arts. He has written and directed several award-winning short films and documentaries that have screened at film festivals in France, Italy, the Netherlands, and Poland. Koguashvili is currently working on a script of his debut feature film.
Sorry, you need the latest version of the free flash player in order to watch the video clips.
What inspired you to make this piece?
I was inspired by the drama and cinematic qualities of day laborers' lives: 15 to 20 unshaved men, hanging around the streets of the alien city, in a freezing cold, smoking, drinking coffee, waiting for a day job, and then running to the car of the possible employer and arguing with him for every dime.
For me it's tragedy and comedy at the same time. It is life. It is a movie. Besides, these men were coming from my country and it was personal too. I felt sorry for them and wanted to help them somehow by making a short film about hope.
Briefly tell us about how you made your film or video: what camera and format did you use to shoot your piece, and what system did you use to edit it? What is your working process? Did you use any special techniques to make this work?
The entire film was shot on the digital still photo camera. We used the "movie" feature of the Canon PowerShot G5 digital photo camera. I had a Apple laptop on the set where I downloaded the Flash cards. I edited everything using Final Cut Pro.
Do you have any interesting behind-the-scenes stories about the making of this particular work?
THE DEBT was my second-year film for NYU graduate film school. Initially I started to shoot it on film using the school equipment. But they give you equipment only for five days, and I couldn't finish the film within that time. And I didn't have money to rent the equipment and buy food for the large crew. So I was desperate and lost. I thought that it was the end of my filmmaking career. And then my Director of Photography, Kirill Mikhanosvky, came up with the weird idea to shoot everything on this tiny digital photo camera which we use for our location scouting. He said that we are lost anyway and we aren't risking anything. He said, "At least it's gonna look like an experiment." I was thinking about it for one day and then agreed.
When we showed up on the set with this tiny camera, the actors (nonprofessional guys from Brighton Beach) thought that we were joking. But we were serious. Everything turned out very well. The film went to several big film festivals including Sundance, Tribeca, and Mannheim, and won several awards.
And now at NYU professors are showing it to the first-year students as an example of a creative approach, that it's not about money and expensive equipment, but story and spirit.
What is the relationship between your work as a video/filmmaker and life in the New York metropolitan area?
New York is a great inspiration. I think that it's one of the most cinematic places in the world. But I don't like Manhattan (shootingwise), I prefer remote parts of Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx. Real places. Places with spirit.
What films/videos and makers have inspired or influenced your work and why?
Ioseliani, Fellini, Cassavetes, Scorsese (MEAN STREETS), German, Olmi.
If viewers are interested in obtaining copies of your work for rental and purchase, whom should they contact and at what address and phone number?

Migrants stranded at sea before being rescued by the humanitarian organisation Sea Watch. The MEPN revealed that while the number of migrants arriving in Europe from Libya had dropped, the proportion of people lost at sea had sharply increased / Photo Credit: Sea Watch
A diaspora group has advised young Nigerians against irregular migration to Europe as new developments along the route portend more danger to lives.
The Migration Enlightenment Project Nigeria (MEPN) has warned would-be migrants to avoid irregular routes as the security situation in Libya worsens and death rates in the Mediterranean soar.
In a statement released recently in Lagos and jointly signed by the co-directors of the initiative, Kenneth Gbandi and Femi Awoniyi, the MEPN pointed to the declaration of a state of emergency in Tripoli on Sunday (3 September) and the new UNHCR report on casualties in the Mediterranean, showing the increased danger of seeking to travel to Europe irregularly.
Quoting the UNHCR report, which was published on Monday, the MEPN revealed that while the number of migrants arriving in Europe from Libya had dropped, the proportion of people lost at sea had sharply increased.
“A higher proportion of people are dying at sea, with one death for every 18 persons who arrived in Europe via the central Mediterranean route between January and July this year compared to one death for every 42 in the same period in 2017,” notes the group, quoting the UN refugee agency.
“The latest report poignantly shows that seeking to cross the sea in unsafe vessels amounts to sheer suicidal adventure,” the MEPN, a Germany-based Nigerian diaspora initiative currently carrying out a safe migration campaign in the country, said. Some 1,600 people are feared to have died on the central Mediterranean route from the start of the year to end of July.
The group also commented on the decision of the UN-backed Government of National Accord to declare a state of emergency in Libya following days of fighting between rival armed groups in Tripoli.
“The renewed clashes have plunged Libya into yet deeper chaos, further jeopardising the lives of about 8,000 migrants trapped and arbitrarily detained in the city’s detention centres. Many of these detainees are Nigerians,” the MEPN said.
“The recent fighting demonstrates that Libya is not a safe place and would-be migrants to Europe should avoid that country as they will be exposed to mortal danger.”
In conclusion, the MEPN advised would-be migrants to seek legal and safe ways of realising their goal to avoid unnecessary suffering and deaths.

Justin Pearson, a Tennessee Democrat who was ousted from elected office by his Republican House colleagues for protesting gun violence in the state Capitol, was reinstated to his seat in the Tennessee House on Wednesday.
The Shelby County Board of Commissioners unanimously voted to send Pearson back to the House in a decisive rebuke of the Tennessee GOP's extraordinary move to expel him, along with another Democratic colleague, last week.
Pearson delivered a powerful speech right after the reinstatement vote, rallying his supporters and sending a message to the lawmakers who voted to expel him.
"What we have shown here in Shelby County, what we have shown here in Memphis, Tennessee, with my fiancé, my brothers, my family, my parents, my family here, is that we do not speak alone," Pearson said. "We speak together. We fight together.
"And so the message for all the people in Nashville who decided to expel us: You can't expel hope. You can't expel justice. You can't expel our voice. And you sure can't expel our fight," he said to cheers.
"We look forward to continuing to fight, continuing to advocate, until justice rolls down like water and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream," Pearson continued. "Let's get back to work."
The 28-year-old lawmaker was sworn in on Thursday morning outside the state Capitol.
Pearson, who represents the Memphis area, and another Democrat, Justin Jones, who represents Nashville, were expelled from the House on Thursday for protesting gun violence after three 9-year-olds and three adults were killed in yet another mass shooting in Tennessee. Rep. Gloria Johnson, a Democrat who also participated in the protest, survived expulsion by a single vote. Pearson and Jones are young Black men serving their first term in the House; Johnson is a white woman in her fourth term.
Republicans had accused them of a grave breach of decorum in the House by protesting peacefully, and House Speaker Cameron Sexton went so far as to liken their actions to the violent Jan. 6 insurrection, even though there was no violence, no property damage, and no arrests.
Jones was reinstated to his seat by the Metropolitan Council of Nashville and Davidson County on Monday. Surrounded by a swarm of supporters, Jones then marched back to the Statehouse and was sworn into office on the steps of the Capitol.
Pearson's and Jones's appointments this week are on an interim basis, and they will have to run for their seats again in a special election to carry out the term. Both men have said they will do so.
Their expulsions — which effectively disenfranchised approximately 140,000 constituents, mostly Black and brown, in the two districts that elected them — were widely criticized by Tennesseans and lawmakers.
On Wednesday, five Demoratic US senators urged the Department of Justice to investigate whether the Tennessee state legislature violated any constitutional or civil rights laws when it expelled Jones and Pearson. Sens. Raphael Warnock, Chuck Schumer, Chris Murphy, Alex Padilla, and Brian Schatz wrote their expulsions "overturn and subvert the will" of voters in Nashville and Memphis.
"People of all goodwill in Tennessee and across America and are deeply disturbed by these counter-democratic expulsions because they overturn and subvert the will of Tennessee voters in Nashville and Memphis," they wrote. "Many in the Tennessee legislature appear to have convinced themselves that The People’s House is their house, and they have effectively evicted the districts’ voters out of their own house. This is un-democratic, un-American, and unacceptable, and the US Department of Justice should investigate whether it was also unlawful or unconstitutional."

MP3 K.R.O. and the House Band of the Apocalypse - Chocolate Funk
Sweaty, raw and dirty two o''clock in the morning funk, topped off with part hip-hop lyrics and part sung funk lyrics.
11 MP3 Songs
URBAN/R&B: Funk, HIP HOP/RAP: Hip Hop
Chocolate Funk was the first full-length release from K.R.O. and the House Band of the Apocalypse (the band is now named Big Pimp Jones) and first came out in 1997.
The players for this recording:
K.R.O. - lead vocals (hip-hop and sung)
Madd Ruckus - bass guitar, backing vocals
Fingers of Chaos - lead guitar, backing vocals
Silky Smoov - drums
T-Funk - keyboards
This album is both the debut and last album of T-Funk on keyboards and Silky Smoov on drums. Chocolate Funk was recorded at the peak of the band playing gigs and as a result is the most ''live'' sounding recording of the band''s catalog. The funk is extremely raw and sums up the band''s energy on stage.
Reviews and comments:
"I was just movin'' and groovin'' to your [CD]...WOW!!!GREAT!!! Just wanted to send a quick note that I received it, LOVE IT!"
- Lord Litter, August 1998
"I think your album kicks major ass....there is almost NO new funk coming out these days, and it is a thrill to finally hear something fresh that has all the spirit and voice of the old school in it. You guys have a sound that is very hip and cutting edge....Your tracks got a great response on the show, and already I''m getting call backs from people wanting to hear more."
- The Good Reverend, the First Church of Funk, October 1998
Some notes about the album:
- All voices on the album are band members. Even the ones that don''t sound like band members are indeed them speaking through voice modifiers. Technology!
- A few parts of the album were ad-libbed while recording, specifically the call-and-response section of ''Start off your morning with evil'' (Do you like the corn flakes?-Yeah! Do you like the funk?-Yeah!) and the entire third verse of ''Sex Fiesta Grande'' (''Put your nurse''s outfit on'').
- ''Sex Fiesta Grande'' began a trend by the band of putting a pseudo-porn funk cut on every album. Future ''wannabe porn soundtrack cuts'' include the track to ''Genetically Engineered Superfunk'' (Takin'' it back), ''Title theme to the porn film WRENCH'' (Pimps in Space) and ''Velvet Shmoov Pimp Stroll'' (Kung Fu Studio).

| Ceylon Today Editorial
( August 12, 2013, Colombo, Sri Lanka Guardian) In recent times, the media has highlighted many cases of land grabs by politically powerful persons in Sri Lanka, with the lands ranging from those owned by individuals to State lands including river and reservoir bunds, flood plains, sanctuaries, among other areas coming under the greedy grasp of such persons. No matter the exposure, the plunder goes on with impunity as the offenders know for certain the law cannot catch up with them due to their high political connections.
Many citizens of the country have lost the little land that belonged to them due to unscrupulous actions of scheming persons who register fraudulent deeds with the Land Registry, obliterating all earlier records relating to such lands. These lands are then sold to third parties who bring pressure on the legal owner to vacate the land, claiming ownership, making his life a nightmare, pushing him to run behind lawyers trying to obtain copies of the original deed from the Land Registry, only to find that all records relating to the land are missing. What’s found instead is the newly registered deed.
Very few people have the knowledge and resources to resort to litigation, which may drag on for years.
Depending on how powerful these fraudsters are, sometimes the legal owner mysteriously disappears and his dependents living on the land are edged out using strong-arm tactics. Often, the legal owner is intimidated into accepting a small sum of money for his land, and if he resists, they are implicated in some crime and harassed to prevent him from seeking relief for the injustice they have been subjected to.
Recently, there were media reports that hundreds of acres of the Rajangana Reservoir reservation and tank bund had been cleared, purportedly for agricultural purposes by persons with political backing. Despite the concerns expressed by around 40,000 farmers there, about silt accumulating in the reservoir and the water being polluted by agro-chemicals and synthetic fertilizers, no action appears to have been taken to stop the encroachment. Inquiries have revealed that the persons involved are politically powerful and the activity has been going on for a long time, with the irrigation authorities under whose purview this matter falls made to ‘look the other way’ by politicians.
Then there is also the case of a powerful person who was reported to be constructing a mansion in an ecologically sensitive area, which would have been considered a grave crime under the several laws relating to the environment, if so done by any other citizen of the country. He would have been dragged to court and slammed with the maximum punishment permissible under the law, and perhaps his property would be acquired by the State for being in violation of the planning regulations and so on. But done by the high and the mighty, the offence is ignored with the authorities looking askance, despite the fact that it causes irreversible damage to the environment, and misery to others.
Cases such as these are reported in the media on a daily basis, with the public unaware of whether justice is being meted out under the country’s laws in respect of these offences, or the rules and regulations are twisted to give an altogether different interpretation, letting the offender escape. More often than not, these cases are swept under the carpet, to be forgotten, unless the media or the environmental organizations are alert, to rake it up and ask for justice.
Why should there be one law for the high and the mighty, and another for the normal citizen? After all the high and the mighty derive power only when elected to office by the voter, who is made to look very important, with everyone concerned about his welfare when an election comes around. The voter is however quickly forgotten once the political representative is elected to power.
All this makes one ask: Is this country the domain of crooked politicians and their cohorts only? Surely there seems to be something amiss in governance.

Transparency in blockchain: Why is it important?
In the realm of digital innovation, blockchain technology has emerged as a transformative force, revolutionizing industries across the globe. At its core, blockchain offers a decentralized and transparent system that has the potential to redefine the way we interact, transact, and trust in the digital age. In an era marked by increasing concerns about data privacy and trustworthiness, the transparency feature of blockchain has captured the attention of businesses, governments, and individuals alike. In this article we will explore the concept of transparency in blockchain, explaining its fundamental principles, the importance it has, and the implications it holds for the future of our increasingly interconnected world.
What does transparency in blockchain mean?
Transparency in blockchain refers to the inherent visibility and openness of the distributed ledger technology.
Unlike traditional systems where central authorities control and validate transactions, blockchain operates on a decentralized network, enabling participants to view and verify transactions in real-time.
Every transaction, once recorded on the blockchain, becomes immutable and transparent, visible to all participants within the network.
This transparency is achieved through the use of cryptographic algorithms that secure the integrity of the data. It allows for a shared and synchronized version of truth, eliminating the need for intermediaries and fostering trust among participants.
Transparency in blockchain ensures that all parties have access to the same information, reducing the potential for fraud, manipulation, and disputes.
It also enables auditing and accountability, as the transaction history can be traced back to its origin. This level of transparency has far-reaching implications across sectors, from enhancing supply chain traceability and streamlining financial transactions to promoting fair voting systems and enabling secure identity verification.
Ultimately, transparency in blockchain empowers individuals and organizations by providing a secure, tamper-proof, and open platform for conducting digital transactions.
Types of transparency in blockchain
Several types of transparency can be observed within the context of blockchain technology. Here are some notable types of transparency in blockchain:
- Transaction transparency: It refers to the ability of participants to view and verify all recorded transactions. This visibility ensures that every transaction is publicly accessible, allowing anyone to trace its origin, destination, and associated details.
- Data transparency: It refers to the visibility of information stored on the blockchain. As data is distributed across multiple nodes in the network, it becomes transparent, meaning that all participants have access to the same data. This transparency ensures data integrity.
- Code transparency: Blockchain platforms often operate using open-source code, which means that the underlying programming logic is accessible to the public. Code transparency allows developers, auditors, and users to examine the code and identify any vulnerabilities or potential flaws.
- Governance transparency: Some blockchain networks incorporate decentralized governance mechanisms, where participants collectively make decisions about the network’s rules and protocols. Governance transparency ensures that the decision-making process is transparent and accessible to all network participants.
- Auditability and compliance transparency: Blockchain’s transparent nature facilitates auditing and compliance processes. Due to the immutability of recorded transactions, auditors can easily verify the integrity of data and ensure compliance with regulations.
Each of these types of transparency in blockchain collectively contributes to building robust and reliable blockchain ecosystems across various industries.
Blockchain transparency benefits
Blockchain transparency offers several significant benefits across various sectors and industries. Here are some key advantages:
- Increased trust and accountability: Transparency in blockchain enhances trust by providing a tamper-proof and auditable record of transactions. Participants can independently verify the accuracy and validity of data, reducing the need for intermediaries and fostering trust between parties.
- Improved security: Blockchain transparency is achieved through cryptographic algorithms that secure data integrity. Transactions recorded on the blockchain are resistant to tampering or unauthorized alterations.
- Enhanced efficiency and cost reduction: Transparent blockchain systems eliminate the need for third-party intermediaries, streamlining processes and reducing costs. By removing manual verification steps, blockchain automation can improve efficiency and speed up transactions.
- Supply chain management: Transparency in blockchain enables end-to-end visibility and traceability in supply chains. Participants can track and verify the movement of goods, ensuring authenticity, quality control, and ethical sourcing.
- Immutable records and auditability: This feature enables comprehensive audit trails, simplifying compliance and regulatory reporting. Auditors can efficiently verify the accuracy and authenticity of data, reducing the complexity and costs associated with traditional auditing processes.
- Decentralization: Blockchain transparency aligns with the decentralized nature of the technology. It empowers individuals and smaller entities by providing equal access to information and decision-making processes. It opens up opportunities for innovation, collaboration, and inclusive participation in blockchain networks.
- Improved customer experience: Transparency in blockchain can enhance customer trust and satisfaction. Customers can verify product authenticity, track shipments, and ensure fair pricing. Additionally, transparent blockchain systems enable better dispute resolution, as all relevant transaction details are readily available, improving customer service and loyalty.
Overall, transparency in blockchain promotes trust, security, efficiency, and accountability in various domains.
What is transparency in Web3?
Now that we have grasped the idea of transparency in blockchain. Let’s review the concept of transparency in Web3 as well.
The relationship between Web3 and blockchain revolves around decentralized technologies. Web3 aims to empower individuals, promote privacy, and reshape the internet landscape.
Transparency in Web3 is driven by the principles of decentralization, open-source development, data ownership, and community governance. It aims to empower individuals, enhance trust, and create a more inclusive and equitable digital ecosystem. Transparency in Web3 encompasses various aspects:
- Open protocols and standards: Web3 promotes the use of open-source protocols and standards. This means that the underlying code and specifications of technologies like blockchain, decentralized applications (dApps), and smart contracts are accessible to the public.
- Auditable smart contracts: Web3 leverages smart contracts which are self-executing contracts stored on the blockchain. These contracts are transparent, as their code is visible to all participants. This transparency allows stakeholders to audit and verify the functionality, logic, and security of smart contracts, reducing the risk of vulnerabilities or malicious behavior.
- Data transparency and control: Web3 aims to give individuals greater control over their data. Transparent data practices ensure that individuals have visibility into how their data is collected, used, and shared within decentralized applications and platforms.
- Financial transparency: Web3 enables transparent financial transactions through the use of blockchain technology. Each transaction recorded on the blockchain is publicly visible and auditable. This transparency fosters trust and reduces the risk of fraud, as participants can independently verify transaction details and trace funds.
- Open and permissionless access: Web3 promotes open and permissionless access to decentralized services and applications. Users can freely access and interact with these platforms without relying on intermediaries or facing arbitrary restrictions. This openness ensures equal opportunities for participation and fosters innovation.
