It never gets better than when people come together for a good cause; especially when that good cause involves making the world a better place for children. This Sunday, people came together amidst great music and tons of fun to celebrate the International Jazz Day with pomp and color. All gate proceeds of the event went to the Ghetto Classics program, a music academy for disadvantages kids from the informal settlements of Korogocho, Huruma, Dandora and Mukuru kwa Reuben; like I said for the kids.
This was the first big concert in recent times with an all Kenyan jazz line-up, where there was no international act headlining. To be completely honest, this was what made it special. The set up at the carnivore grounds was not as extravagant as we are used to, but the quaintness of it added a touch of community that sometimes lacks in big venues; It felt a lot more close knit if I may say so myself.
Before the concert, there were the usual doubters who did not think that the all Kenyan ensemble would deliver and to be honest, even though I am a huge believer in having faith in our own, I was a bit skeptical. I am glad to report that they proved me wrong. Everyone on the line up brought their A-game and the crowd responded. I finally got to see Kavutha on stage actually performing and it was definitely worth the wait. Her scat singing was top notch.
The usual suspects impressed with Eddie Grey and Gogosimo all moving the crowd but people really go on their feet when Edward Parseen got on stage. His playlist included jazz covers to some of the favourite local tracks, including JB’s Tiga Kumute and the popular Kamba song Rose Watwa wa Kisumu by Sammy Wambua. They had an encore where all the artists of the day came together to in spectacular show of expertise and flair.
The highlight of the event for me was the performance by the Ghetto Classics kids. They looked comfortable both on their instruments and on stage. It showed how long they have come from the inception of the project till now. The weekly training and the extra 3 hours every Sunday are working. They had a certain amiable camaraderie on stage that was visible. You could tell that at some point of their performance that they need to do a little more work on some of their music, but overall, it was impressive.
The proceeds from Safaricom Jazz go to furthering the Ghetto Classics agenda. The project is a noble cause and the fact that it impacted on the less privileged community in an admirable manner. The fact that the teachers are former Ghetto Classic kids makes it sustainable. It is definitely one of the reasons I will keep attending the Safaricom Jazz events. That and the excellent music, great fun and meeting new and interesting people.

A constitutional lawyer, Keisha Toni Russell, has come out against Biden’s radical pick for the U.S. Supreme Court, Judge Ketanji Brown.
Russell testified on Thursday against the appointment of Judge Jackson to the highest court in the nation. Her opposition stems from Judge Jackson’s philosophy that includes the acceptance of critical race theory. Russell highlighted Jackson’s support for critical race theory, and noted that her beliefs would keep her from abiding by the U.S. Constitution that she would have to swear to uphold.
Russell fiercely opposed Jackson’s nomination, stating that, “she cannot uphold this oath if she believes that the Constitution and the principles of America’s foundation are racist…” She continued with the most pointed part of her statements, “neither can a judge remain impartial and administer justice independently if she holds a philosophy that correcting racism requires affording privileged classes less justice than oppressed classes.”
And Russel is 100% right. Why would the American people trust Jackson to uphold the Constitution — the job of a Supreme Court Justice — when she believes that the Constitution and the nation that gave it birth hold some kind of racial animosity toward her for the color of her skin?
And the race card is being played hard in Jackson’s favor, with Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) doing his best to conjure up tears in a faux emotional diatribe that reminded us all that we’ll be stuck with Spartacus in the Senate until at least 2026. But in his race-baiting soliloquy, Booker seemed to forget the most senior, and most respected — among conservatives — Justice currently sitting on the court, Justice Clarence Thomas.
Thomas, who is Black, must be having a conniption watching such a midwit glide through the nomination process due to fear of offending the Black community, when he, possibly the greatest legal mind in American history, suffered defamation and abuse in a horrific nomination proceeding that took every opportunity to ruin this judge’s life.
In the end, Russell came to the defense of the United States of America by bringing to the public’s attention the inherent contradictions that exist between Judge Jackson’s beliefs and the job for which she is applying. Let’s hope that Republicans can stand together against this terrible choice for America — though, with this bunch, it’s far more likely that Jackson passes with unanimous consent than have her nomination thwarted.

EMPHASIS: National Platforms
Several EU member states have started to build national platforms and these platforms represent the basis for a leading role of Europe in plant phenotyping. These platforma represent national research infrastructure strategies, they are approved by governmental bodies and are regularly evaluated.
The German Plant phenotyping Network (DPPN) aims at establisheing plant phenotyping capacity in Germany for a quantitative assessment of structural and functional relations of plans under controlled and field conditions including relevant data management structure.
PHENOME, the French Plant Phenotyping Network (FPPN) will provide France with an up-to-date, versatile, high throughput infrastructure and suite of methods allowing characterisation of panels of genotypes of different species under scenarios associated with climate changes.
UK Plant Phenomics Network (UKPPN) was established to develop a UK community focused on plant phenotyping and organised around existing and developing platforms, while engaging the widest possible participation from different disciplines, academic, industry and policy makers.

Ohio House committee passes its version of the state operating budget
The Ohio House Finance Committee has passed a $95 billion dollar, two-year operating budget with bipartisan support and no debate or disagreement. After weeks of long hearings, this entire meeting lasted less than five minutes.
Republicans, who said they intended to add an income tax cut to Gov. Mike DeWine's initial budget, say this spending plan has a middle-class tax cut. The House budget eliminates income taxes for those making under $26,050 and combines the bottom two tax brackets and cuts that tax rate to 2.75%.
"I think we landed in a really good spot," House Finance Committee chair Jay Edwards (R-Nelsonville) said. "I think this budget is really about middle income votes, and I feel really good about where we landed. I think anytime you walk away and not everyone is thrilled, but everyone is a little happy and maybe a little upset, that's a pretty a good spot to be."
Edwards said after House Republicans put out their budget last week, there were a record of around 2,400 amendments proposed by representatives.
Rep. Bride Rose Sweeney (D-Westlake), the ranking Democrat on the House Finance Committee, said while it isn't perfect, it accomplishes a lot of goals that will help Ohioans.
"I am confident that we have arrived at a balanced, bipartisan budget that better reflects the needs of our state and truly invests in our communities." Sweeney said.
Sweeney said the budget increases child care funding so more Ohioans who need it can access it. And she liked the fact that this version of the budget includes Medicaid coverage for things that haven't been covered before, like doula services for example.
Sweeney applauded this budget for making a significant investment in K-12 public schools. She said this version of the budget includes a $1.3 billion dollar commitment to public education. She said it is the "largest and most justified increase in recent history."
No universal vouchers for private schools in this budget
Across the street from the Statehouse, some Republicans gathered with school voucher advocates at the Americans for Prosperity office. The parents and voucher supporters gathered had wanted the House to fund what is known as the "Backpack Bill" by expanding vouchers that can be used by nearly every family who prefers to send at private schools.
While there is some money for expanded vouchers in this version of the budget, the sponsor of the "Backpack Bill", Rep. Riordan McClain (R-Upper Sandusky), said he's disappointed there's not more.
"Opportunities on the table for the Backpack Bill are not there currently. I have drafted a floor amendment that I plan to push our leadership on to try to get another bite of the apple before it gets out of the House," McClain said.
But some Republicans said it's not feasible to expand vouchers in the way McClain and others want. A recent budget analysis conducted for state lawmakers showed an expansion of Ohio’s school voucher program to include nearly all K-12 students would cost more than $1 billion dollars in its the first year. Edwards (R-Nelsonville) said the program is too expensive.
"Financially it would throw our budget out of whack. We would be above the state appropriation limitations," Edwards said.
Edwards said if people want universal vouchers, there needs to be oversight to make sure public and private schools are held to the same standards. Edwards said he expects there will be a lot of amendments proposed when the full Ohio House votes on this version of the budget tomorrow.
Democrats say budget hits their issues too
Democrats in the Ohio House said many of the provisions in this budget are part of what they call their "People First" agenda. House Minority Leader Allison Russo (D-Upper Arlington) said that agenda puts the needs of working Ohioans above special interests. Rep. Dontavius Jarrells (D-Columbus) explained the agenda contains three main elements.
"The People First agenda is built on three incredibly strong pillars that truly defines what it means to have Democratic values, what it means to put people first - freedom, dignity and opportunity," Jarrells said.
But there are elements missing that Democrats want, including comprehensive gun safety regulations and ways to address disparities in minority health care.

'Our heavy-duty trucks will be manufactured almost entirely from H2-based steel by 2030': Scania
Deliveries of hydrogen-derived steel from SSAB using Hybrit technology to start in 2026
Volkswagen-owned truck maker Scania has promised that by 2030 it will be buying mostly green-hydrogen-derived steel for the manufacture of its heavy-duty vehicles, as part of a deal with its main supplier of steel, Sweden’s SSAB.
In a letter of intent signed on Monday, Scania and SSAB agreed that the truck maker would begin taking deliveries of the green steel (see panel below) in 2026, with the supply gradually ramping up to become completely decarbonised by the end of the decade.
The pair gave no indication as to how much steel this entails, but Scania noted that SSAB is its “main” supplier of steel — suggesting that much of the company’s steel supply will effectively be decarbonised by 2030.
The steel will be produced using hydrogen-based direct-reduced iron (DRI) technology developed by the Hybrit consortium, of which SSAB is a part alongside miner LKAB and power producer Vattenfall.
Hybrit is currently working on building 500MW of electrolysis to supply green hydrogen to its demonstration plant in Gällivare, Sweden, which will produce fossil-free DRI for use in SSAB’s operations.
The demonstration plant, as well as two new electric arc furnaces at SSAB’s steel plant in Oxelösund, near Stockholm, have been granted €143m ($155m) from the EU’s Innovation Fund.
And Scania, which has pledged to decarbonise the entirety of its European supply chain, comprising batteries, aluminium and cast iron by 2030, has also committed to buy green steel from Sweden’s H2 Green Steel, expected to be the world’s first commercial steel plant if and when it comes on line in 2025.
“We are truly looking forward to ramping up the deliveries of our fossil-free steel, thereby contributing to more sustainable value chains,” said Martin Lindqvist, SSAB’s chief executive. “Fossil-free steel will be a game-changer in heavy transport. It has the same high quality and technical properties as traditional steel. And, while being produced in a sustainable way, it can also be recycled just like steel has always been.”


The UK government's reps in the European Union are pushing to gut the right of Internet users to access and contribute to networked services, replacing it with the "right" to abide by EULAs:
'Amendments to the Telecoms Package circulated in Brussels by the UK government, seek to cross out users' rights to access and distribute Internet content and services. And they want to replace it with a "principle" that users can be told not only the conditions for access, but also the conditions for the use of applications and services. The amendments, if carried, would reverse the principle of end-to-end connectivity which has underpinned not only the Internet, but also European telecommunications policy, to date.' To add to the irony, an accompanying text cuts and pastes from Wikipedia, without attribution.
A Reuters/Ipsos poll found that more than 50% of U.S. voters believe the system that American political parties use to select their candidates for President is “rigged.” Over two-thirds of those polled want to see the process changed.

How To Become a Test Driver
Test Drives are used for product evaluation in the supply chain. Test Drives or “Tests on Board” are an effective tool for tracking the progress of supply chain activities in a supply chain system. The objective of this test is to determine if a specific component of a supply chain process is meeting or exceeding customer requirements. Test drivers are the units that perform the function of an end-to-end automated testing application and are usually the first modules in a supply chain that is exposed to the product and customer requirements.
When a company adopts a Test Driver program, it allows the easy creation of test-driver prototypes. Typically, these prototypes are programmed in C/C++ or Java. The use of these languages make it easier for software developers to create and customize the driver. This allows the system administrator to view the driver at different phases of testing. Some review websites offers easy ways to find and review different types of drivers.
These programs also allow creating custom test drivers and quick evaluation of hard skills. The program can be used to generate a wide range of test drives for various automotive applications. Some review sites offer tips and guides on how to write a Test Driver program. The Test Driver program can be programmed using simple text files or graphical user interface. A good amount of expertise on high level languages is required to successfully program a Test Driver application.
For many automotive manufacturers, it is common for them to hire outside companies to develop Test Driver applications to support new models of vehicles. These companies have extensive experience in developing software programs for high-level languages. The automotive industry requires software test drivers to ensure the quality of their products and ensure customer satisfaction.
The automotive industry requires professional test drivers to demonstrate the ability to drive new vehicles and complete a variety of tasks under controlled circumstances. Test driving new vehicles ensures that the new car model is reliable and safe. A professional test driver will often make an impression during the first few hours of driving the car. It is important to note that a professional driver must possess a lot of patience and drive a car with a lot of care.
Professional Test Driving schools help people from all walks of life to acquire driving skills by providing tuition for a Test Driver Program. This helps those who have little or no experience with driving new vehicles. Individuals with good hard skills in driving can quickly assimilate to driving procedures and learn the intricacies of the new vehicle. Most individuals who successfully complete a Test Driver course are offered employment opportunities within the automotive industry.

A by-election for the seat of Lowan in the Victorian Legislative Assembly was held on Saturday 4 November 1944. The election was triggered by the notification of the death of Country Party member Hamilton Lamb on 7 December 1943. Lamb was a prisoner of war on the Burma Railway at the time of the June 1943 state election, and he had been re-elected as MLA for Lowan unopposed in his absence. He died on 7 December, but official notification of his death in Thailand was not received in Australia until 1 September 1944, nearly nine months later.
There were three candidates for the Lowan by-election following the close of nominations on 18 October 1944. They were:
|Unendorsed Country||William Armstrong||1,785||17.88||n/a|
|Total formal votes||9,986||n/a||n/a|

100 volunteers planted an average of eight trees a minute to beat the Guinness world record
Anniversary: The clock is ticking. With music blaring from the loudspeakers, the area is filled with commotion as the crowd shouts and sings to cheer the men.
The organiser is anxious. After every interval, he announces the remaining time left for the men to complete the task. Clad in white t-shirts and caps, the men shuffle on the hill overlooking Thimphu valley in the scorching heat.
With only about 30 minutes left to complete the task, the men divided into groups move faster. The organiser constantly reminds them of the task they are here for today. Some groups, who had completed their tasks, move on to help others.
At about 10 minutes to 9am, the men accomplished their task, setting the Guinness World record of planting 49,672 trees in an hour at Kuenselphodrang, Thimphu on 25 acres of land. The 100 men planted an average of eight trees a minute or 496 trees an hour to beat the Guinness World Record of most trees planted in an hour (team). Bhutan not only managed to beat the previous record of 40,885 trees in an hour in Assam, India, but also set a new record. The motto of the record, according to the organiser, is, “Lets begin a greener Bhutan.”
The event was organised by Bhutan Eco-Green Initiative Network (BEGIN), an environment conservation project under Peoples Initiative in Celebrating the Sixtieth Anniversary (PICSA), together with the ministry of agriculture and forests. The 100 volunteers, comprising desuups, civil servants, students, and corporate and private employees, planted five indigenous species of trees at Kuenselphodrang. The ministry provided the saplings.
PICSA was formed under Her Majesty Gyalyum Dorji Wangmo Wangchuck as the royal patron to supplement the government’s initiatives for the 60th birth anniversary celebrations of His Majesty the Fourth Druk Gyalpo.
Speaking to the volunteers, Her Majesty Gyalyum Dorji Wangmo Wangchuck said they had done the kings, country, and the people proud. “Bhutan has made history by setting the record in planting almost 50,000 trees,” Her Majesty said. “This is because we believe in protecting our environment.”
PICSA’s project coordinator, Karma Tshering, said the 100 volunteers underwent rigorous training for about three weeks. The men were divided into 10 groups and placed at strategic location to carry out the plantations. “We could have planted 50,000 saplings, but some weren’t planted properly in line with the Guinness World Record guidelines,” Karma Tshering said.
An official from Guinness World Records in London, Pravin Patel, was present to assess and verify the plantation. Two Bhutanese witnesses, police chief Brigadier Kipchu Namgyel and former minister Kinzang Dorji, and 10 stewards from various organisations assisted the official in verifying and assessing the plantations.
Photo sessions followed after the success was announced. The crowd and volunteers cheered along, chanting Pelden Drukpa Gyelo. The volunteers said they were confident that they would be able to set the record, owing to the extensive training and guidance they were provided for the past few weeks.
One of the volunteers, a 20-year-old school dropout Penden Wangchuck, said he was happy that the team’s effort paid off. “I tried planting about 10 trees in a minute. It was tiring but we were confident of beating the world record right from the start,” he said, adding that, during their trainings, some even managed to plant about 30 trees in a minute.
About 160 volunteers registered for the event, of which 111 were selected. 11 were kept on standby, should anything happen to the 100 volunteers on the finale.
Gyalyum Dorji Wangmo Wangchuck and Princess Sonam Dechan Wangchuck witnessed the event, along with the cabinet ministers, parliament members, and other dignitaries.
June 2 is also observed as Social Forestry Day. Forest plantation record dates back to the late 1940s, when the first plantation was carried out in Gelephu on 3.20 acres of land. The annual tree planting activity was re-enforced after June 2 was declared as Social Forestry Day in 1985 to commemorate the coronation of His Majesty the Fourth Druk Gyalpo, a visionary environmentalist.

A Delaware immediate notice to quit is used to notify a tenant that they caused or threatened to cause irreparable harm to a person or property.

President John Mahama says he is happy that his government has not overspent its 2016 budget in spite of pressures from various sectors to spend more on projects not budgeted for.
According to him, government remains firm in its resolve not to spend beyond what it budgeted for the year.
The President noted that Ghana has consistently in every election year overspent its budget, leaving the country in a difficult economic times the subsequent year.
“Happily we are in an election year and we haven’t overspent even though there is pressure from everywhere,” he said.
Speaking at the Holy Ghost Temple of the International Central Gospel Church at Adenta in Accra over on Sunday, he said, “one of the major problems this country has suffered is that vicious cycle where every four years we go back into an economic instability and you have to take tough economic measures to stabilize the economy again.”
“One of the major challenges we have been dealing with is how to stabilize the economy even through an election year by keeping down expenditures and increasing revenues,” he said.
If your expenditure is high and your revenue is low then you will have a deficit which will keep growing until the country becomes so indebted that nobody will be prepared to lend you any money and your currency will depreciate,” he added.
President Mahama said government has taken measures to ensure its expenditure increases slowly while revenue is increased through taxes.
“[If] you have only 30 per cent of people paying taxes, 70 per cent of the people don’t even know you must file your tax returns then you must find an ingenious way to get it through indirect taxes so that at least everybody is contributing his quota to make the economy stable,” he further said.
Mahama said government wants to ensure that the country’s currency and economy is stable after the election period.
He revealed that the cedi has been one of the best performing currencies in Africa, a development he said is a positive sign of effective economic measures.
On energy, he indicated that Ghana is working to increase its power generation capacity so that it is able to have excess power to serve as back up in case it loses a thermal plant.
‘We’ll not overspend on election 2016’
Mahama in August last year said vowed that government will ensure that Ghana does not go for another IMF bailout due to election year expenditure overruns.
According to him, the fiscal imbalances, experienced after the electoral cycle, mostly arise as a result of excessive demands on government by labour unions.
The Minister of Finance, Seth Terkper also reiterated government’s position when he presented the 2016 budget in Parliament.

HOUSTON -- Congressman Al Green's call for the impeachment of President Donald Trump resulted in voicemails loaded with death threats and racial slurs.
He played those messages for the crowd at his South Houston town hall Saturday morning.
"Hey, Al Green. We got an impeachment for you. It's going to be yours. Actually going to give you a short trial before we hang your *** ***," one man said in a recording.
In another, a man's voice says, "You ain't going to impeach nobody, you ***. Try it and we'll lynch all you *** ***. You'll be hanging from a tree."
"I thought it appropriate to let you hear these recordings so that you can understand why we have the security," Green said, explaining the increased police presence at the meeting.
Those threats came in after Green, a Houston Democrat, became the first member of Congress to propose that President Trump be impeached on the House floor.
"No amount of threats and intimidation will stop what I have started," he told his constituents. "I promise you."
Saturday's town hall at South Houston's Fountain Life Center, Green said, was an opportunity to answer his constituents' questions about his effort.
Queries ranged from why the process takes so long to how many votes are needed, to what voters can do to help.
Some in attendance used their opportunity at the microphone not to ask, but to tell.
"I'm frankly tired of partisan politics," said one man. "I'm tired of our country being split further with every tweet and every counter-tweet."
"I think, not only should the FBI director be fired, but the whole FBI should be restructured and not act as a political police against our elected officials," said Betty Jennings.
She and her husband Joe said, while they aren't big supporters of Trump, they're even less supportive of Green's effort to impeach the president.
"The Democratic party should not become the McCarthy-ide party of perpetual wars, financial bailouts and covert surveillance," Joe Jennings said.
Green said he's following his conscience and, ultimately, what his constituents want.
"You have the last word. The American people have the last word," Green said.
Green says he plans to introduce a resolution to impeach President Trump "soon," though he wouldn’t give a definitive date.
The process to impeach a president is lengthy.
The House would have to pass it with a majority vote, then the Senate would hold a trial overseen by the chief justice of the Supreme Court.
If a super-majority were to find the president guilty, he would be removed from office and Vice President Pence would take over.

Editor, Manteca Bulletin,
It seems like the blog on this subject points to a lot of officers supporting members of this council. I feel this support by members of the police organization was based on the belief that the council would support them if they needed it. This council and the city manager is determined to destroy the progress this organization has had on crime and protection of the citizens of Manteca.
Our current chief of police reorganized the department to save the city over $300,000. As a thanks from the council and city manager, they set out to destroy this organization, by blackmailing the police into accepting more concessions, after they gave up so much already. The council and Black Bart said they would lay off 16 officers, if they didn’t agree to more wage and benefit reductions.
Mayor Willie Weatherford and his den of spenders has had eight straight deficits and over half of these were when the state didn’t take money from the city. This mayor has lost control of the city to Black Bart, the city manager, who has embarked on a giveaway program, while whacking our police force severely. While doing this, he has set up a fee deferment program for incoming businesses that allows the companies to defer fee payments for five to ten years. He also gave land away for $1 to the county. Sales tax from businesses has been over emphasized,
In the past this council would make a deal with the devil to bring in businesses that insist on the lion’s share of the profit, when we need it the most.
The city bragged about receiving $300,000 a year from the Big League Dreams on their investment. The question is, what was our so-called profit for the past years? Spending and giveaways to big boxes and consultant hiring has resulted in eight deficits. And it is a damn shame that our police force is targeted to make up for the mayor and council’s deficit. We should fight to maintain our strong representation by our police force.
Fire off e-mail protests by the thousands protesting the council’s black mailing of our police force.
Sept. 27, 2009

Why we’re going to Haiti later this week. A view to a different side of the country, including its re-emergence — and we hope, a path to sustainable tourism development. It’s also about our pursuit of Haitian culture, landscape and cuisine – and the unknown.
While on a press trip earlier this fall, we mentioned to a well-traveled British journalist with an intrepid penchant for hot spots, particularly those in the Middle East, that we were headed to Haiti later in the year.
“Really?!” His reply was shriek-like. “Be safe.”
When most people think Haiti, they don’t often think travel. The images that come to most peoples’ minds are those from of the 2010 earthquake and various other political and environmental disasters that news reports suggest seem to plague the country indefinitely — rather than of artists, musicians, waterfalls, clear Caribbean waters, hilltop fortresses, cave networks and the mysteries of Vodou.
So that’s where we come in.
We don’t mean to imply that Haiti doesn’t still have its share of serious economic and environmental issues to address. But like so many places we’ve visited, we suspect there’s a different, additional side to the story and dimension to the place than what we’re deprived of in prevailing media.
That’s why we’re going to Haiti this week to find out.
Tourism in Haiti. Is that even a thing?
Not currently. Let’s just say there aren't a lot of travelers coursing through Haiti at the moment. This is one of the things that stoked our curiosity about visiting now.
In fact, when our partner G Adventures were first engaged by Haiti under an Inter-American Development Bank project to assess tourism potential in the country, its analysts were uncertain if not skeptical as to what they might find. Perhaps surprisingly, they found remarkable landscape, a rich living history – one full of art, music, Vodou religious heritage, Creole culture – and a resilient people seeking to move on toward a better future.
The result? Not only did G Adventures suggest that Haiti does have tourism potential, especially of the community-based variety, but they developed a new tour to the country for 2015 to act on their own evaluation.
It’s this tour – in addition to our own independent exploration — that we will experience during our time in Haiti.
Sustainable Tourism in Haiti?
But wait. Will tourism development be a force for good in Haiti? Can’t it destroy a local culture and environment?
Tourism is the people’s business. And how tourism develops in a country, particularly in its early stages, truly does make a difference — good and bad — to the lives of its people.
Our own tourism and travel experience tells us that both outcomes are possible.
So where has Haiti landed in all of this? And more importantly, where does it hope to go?
It's still early days, but the Haitian Tourism Ministry has apparently indicated that it wishes to pursue tourism development of the more community-based or sustainable variety. It’s because of this that we’re excited to have a look at Haiti for ourselves in its formative stages of tourism development – to not only see and highlight what the country has to offer generally as a destination, but how a community-focused approach might benefit locals and travelers alike.
The circumstances recall a Haitian proverb: “Piti, piti, wazo fe nich li.” Which roughly translates as “Little by little the bird builds its nest.”
So what is there to do and see in Haiti?
Although the first G Adventures’ Haiti tour officially launches in February 2015, we’re part of a visiting group including a few independent journalists and G Adventures staff who will have the advance opportunity to experience it for ourselves. We will also extend our stay and explore parts of Haiti on our own.
Although you may find all the details for the G Adventures Haiti tour on the official itinerary, here's a snapshot of what we'll do and see:
- Citadelle Laferrière: Haiti was the first independent nation in Latin America and the Caribbean, born of a slave revolt from 1791-1804 that defeated French forces and resulted in the founding of a free country. With that in mind, we’ll visit the UNESCO-designated Citadelle Laferrière, a hilltop fortress built in the early 19th century to help defend Haiti’s newfound independence from its colonizers.
- Cap-Haïtien: We’ll explore various markets and learn how to make Haitian rum from a brandy-like sugar cane extract called guildive, a mispronunciation of “kill devil” which is supposedly what happens when you drink the stuff.
- Port-au-Prince: The 2010 earthquake left Haiti’s capital city largely in ruins; remnants of this are still visible. We’ll visit the artist community of Atis Rezistan that has emerged from the rubble, and we’ll have a chance to learn more about Haiti’s Vodou culture by meeting with a Vodou priest. Of course, we will spend time in local markets and walking the streets.
- Jacmel and Bassin Bleu: We continue with the theme of local artistic expression in Jacmel by exploring the town’s street mosaics and visiting the studios of various local artists. Then we’ll enjoy some time at Bassin-Bleu, a network of waterfalls and freshwater pools.
- Port-Salut and Grotte Marie-Jeanne at Port-à-Piment: On our way out of Jacmel we’ll stop by the Art Creation Foundation for Children. The foundation provides leadership training and practical lessons in various crafts – in addition to providing meals — to at-risk youth. From a stopover in Port Salut, we’ll set off for Port-a-Piment to explore the underground cave network at Grotte Marie-Jeanne.
We will spend an additional week in Haiti in Les Cayes along Haiti’s southwestern coastline, in and around Port-au-Prince, and quite possibly climbing Haiti's highest peak, Pic la Selle.
Follow our Haiti adventure in real-time
Curious to know what Haiti is like? Who are the Haitian people? What do they eat? What does the island look like? What is the spirit of the place?
We hope to answer that and more.
Please follow along real-time with our adventure via social media. Follow the hashtags #DnA2Haiti and #GadvHaiti on Twitter and Instagram. We will also share updates on our Facebook and Google Plus pages. We're excited to have the opportunity to share what we see and experience in Haiti with you.

But the night in the William Osteen Gymnasium ended on a sour note for the host Lady Trojans dropping the Region 8-2A championship contest to the Covington Lady Chargers.
The tournament began with Millington taking on the Douglass Lady Red Devils in the Regional Semifinals. Sparked by 15 serves in a row by Paige Hall, the Lady Trojans took the first set 25-3. Douglass competed better in the next two sets but were defeated 25-14 and 25-12. With the victory, Millington locked up a spot in this Thursday’s Sub-State round.
Covington played the Craigmont Lady Chiefs in the other Regional Semifinals winning in three sets. The Lady Chargers’ win set up a rematch of the District 15-2A title game from last week that Millington won in three sets.
This time Covington won in three sets 25-13, 25-18 and 25-16 to win the Region title. The Lady Chargers will host a Sub-State game against Jackson South Side Thursday night at 7 p.m. Meanwhile the Millington Lady Trojans will travel to the Region 7-2A champions Dyersburg.

The nitrogen puzzle in the oceans
Every organism needs nitrogen to live and grow, but many don’t have the ability to obtain the nitrogen they need from the atmosphere because they can’t use molecular nitrogen (N2). This means that the organisms have to rely on a supply of nitrogen that has been ‘fixed’ by others. Fixed nitrogen is often a limiting factor of primary production in the environment. Just as there are organisms that change unusable N2 to fixed nitrogen, there are also organisms that change fixed nitrogen back to N2. In the ocean, the loss of fixed nitrogen is most common in oxygen minimum zones (OMZs) where oxygen is rapidly consumed, almost to completion. Scientists are concerned that climate change will cause OMZs to expand, increasing the amount of nitrogen lost from the oceans, which will have consequences for primary productivity. Researchers are looking into which microbial processes are responsible for different parts of nitrogen-loss in order to determine how the processes will change along with the climate.
Ocean Science Report: Canada At Risk Of Losing World-Leader Status
Canada contains the most coastline in the world, stretching along three oceans. The nation has long been known as a global steward of the seas, but a new report reveals that may no longer be the case. The report by the Council of Canadian Academies states that while government funding for ocean science is increasing, a lack of coordination limits the usefulness of research being done. Canada has no national strategy or vision for ocean science and there as a big information gap, making it difficult to get a solid picture of the information and resources available.
Simple study advances seafloor ecological modeling
Animals living on the seafloor are grouped into classes based on weight; meiofauna are smaller animals and macrofauna are bigger animals. A long accepted theory states that as animal size increases, so does biomass, but a new study challenges that theory. The study shows that this pattern may simply be a result of the sampling methods used. Instead, seafloor community biomass increases through logarithmic body weight class. This simplified relationship will help improve seafloor modeling efforts and will make studying seafloor ecosystems much easier.

Drivers looking to access the northern entrance of Theatre Drive from Paso Robles’ Highway 101 intersection with Highway 46 are now being rerouted west.
The permanent move is part of a bigger-picture plan to help make the junction’s jumble of left-turn lanes less confusing.
The area is popular for accessing hotels and the shopping centers that house Target, Michaels and various shops and eateries.
Last week, the city unveiled a new signaled intersection for Theatre Drive approximately 1,000 feet from its former spot. It’s located on Highway 46 West and has two dedicated left-turn lanes.
The new route is on lesser-used Gahan Place near the Orchard Supply Hardware store. The street was improved to prepare for the added traffic.
The previous Theatre Drive entrance is now barricaded permanently, and crews are working to remove the asphalt there, north of Alexa Court, and replace it with landscaping.
No changes were made to the Theatre Drive entrance further south off the Main Street exit of Highway 101 in Templeton.
The $2.8 million project, funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, began in October. It completes the first of five phases to revamp the interchange, which is often prone to traffic jams.
A 2005 study approved by Caltrans said that traffic congestion could be fixed in that area by a number of changes. Future phases will realign South Vine Street west to the new intersection, add two roundabouts and widen Theatre Drive. Construction dates have not been determined yet.

Protecting female reporters from on-air sex assault: Britni de la Cretz finds some broadcasting companies react when female journalists are groped or harassed on camera.
“Such companies offered the journalists time off, therapy or counseling services, and opportunities to reevaluate whether they wished to continue reporting from those locations where they were assaulted,” she writes.
“Each woman indicated that her newsroom took the incidents incredibly seriously, especially considering the long-term psychological risks of harassment on the job, and responded in a way that felt adequate, though that may not always be the case.”
“My view is that we have to keep the long run in mind,” Washington Post Executive Editor Marty Baron tells the Poynter Institute’s Journalism Ethics Summit. Scott Nover reports on trust in the media and other big stories in the Trump presidency.
Americans rank the three major major traditional commercial broadcast television networks—ABC, CBS and NBC—as the most credible news sources, according to a poll that explored the credibility of 13 print and digital news sources.
“Despite the proliferation of coverage of fake news and historically low opinion of the media, a majority of adults think most cable news networks and major newspapers are credible,” reported morningconsult.com, a nonpartisan digital media and survey research company based in Washington, D.C.
“Television news gets the highest number of people saying they are credible, with major newspapers such as the New York Times not trailing far behind,” wrote Laura Nichols. While the three major television networks took the top three slots, the Wall Street Journal and the Times followed immediately after them.
Historically speaking, this is an interesting turn of events. Fifty-five years ago, Newton Minow, then chair of the Federal Communications Commission, described television as a “vast wasteland” in speech at the 1961 National Association of Broadcasters convention.
Despite such poor expectations, television news has grown into a giant. As technology improved, it became more ubiquitous, even intrusive. And the medium proved itself able to show and tell complicated issues, in documentaries and far-ranging reports. Even the humble smartphone records news events, turning everyone into a television photographer.
Clearly, the medium is a crowd-pleaser. Critics might argue television reports serve largely as a headline service. But the format has won public favor. Even Minow, who continues to be asked his opinion of television, appreciates today’s “wider range of choice.”
The Pew Research Center reports that in 2016, Americans express a clear preference for getting their news on a screen—either television or digital—although “TV remains the dominant screen.”
On the Chicago police beat, which I covered at the City News Bureau of Chicago, legend was that police sometimes arrested suspicious characters for mopery with intentions to gawk.
By definition, a gawker is a person who stares openly at someone or something. To gawk is to gape, stare or rubberneck without trying to hide that you’re doing it. A gawker also can be an awkward or clumsy person.
So when Financial Times reporter Nick Denton launched Gawker.com in 2003, I figured I knew what to expect. The website described itself as a media news and gossip blog, one of its goals being to “afflict the comfortable.” Gawker Media became a network of blogs, including Gizmodo, Deadpan, Jezebel and Lifehacker.
Not many codes of ethics urge journalists to “take all possible measures to mitigate the odds of a crash.”
But the Professional Society of Drone Journalists code does that, and says its guidelines “should be viewed as a layer of additional ethical considerations atop the traditional professional and ethical expectations of a journalist in the 21st century.”
Drones can provide images and data for “immersion journalism”, according to a blog post that predicts virtual reality tools will allow audiences to experience the sights and sounds of news events as if actually there.
The door to this future is slowly opening as the Federal Aviation Administration works to strike a balance between assuring public safety and supporting the commercial drone industry.
The Killeen Daily Herald in Texas reports that the FAA has acted on more than 3,000 petitions seeking approval for U.S. drone operations.
Section 333 of the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 gives the FAA authority to grant certificates for the commercial use of small, unmanned aerial vehicles. Journalists already use drones to cover newsworthy events, the newspaper points out.
The FAA, meanwhile, is moving cautiously. Each month, it says, the FAA receives more than 100 reports from pilots and others who see what appear to be unmanned aircraft flying close to an airport or manned aircraft.
“It’s become a serious safety concern for the agency, and a potential security issue for the Department of Homeland Security,” the agency said in a statement. As a result, the FAA is working with other agencies to develop technology to detect and identify “rogue drones” and their operators.
A 2014 FAA report denies that the U.S. lags behind other countries in approving commercial drones, adding: “we want to strike the right balance of requirements for (unmanned aircraft systems) to help foster growth in an emerging industry with a wide range of potential uses, but also keep all airspace users and people on the ground safe.”
The Professional Society of Drone Journalists claims members from the Boston Globe, ESPN and Reuters in its global ranks, along with freelancers and academics. “Established in 2011, PSDJ is the first international organization dedicated to establishing the ethical, educational and technological framework for the emerging field of drone journalism,” its mission statement reads. “We develop small unmanned aerial systems (sUAS) for journalists, and explore best practices to deploy them for a variety of reporting needs, including investigative, disaster, weather, sports and environmental journalism.”
Its membership roster includes individuals with an interest in drones, and companies that manufacture them. So what is it primarily, a group that represents drone manufacturers or a drone advocacy group?
“I am under the impression it is an advocacy group,” said Mark LaBoyteaux, owner and operator of Hawkeye Media based in the Dallas-Forth Worth area. “But I haven’t heard from them for two or three years,” adding “I thought it evaporated.”
It started, he recalled, when a group of journalists who wanted to use drones for news photography sought permission from the FAA. Instead, the agency sent cease and desist letters to them.
“I got a letter from the FAA,” said LaBoyteaux. As a result, “they wanted to form a group that could work legally with the FAA and use photography for news gathering.”
LaBoyteaux uses five “multi-copters” for aerial photography and video photography. He understands that the FAA is relaxing its rules on drones “to let them be used for commercial purposes.”
On its website, the Professional Society of Drone Journalists espouses a “layered approach” to form its code of ethics, including traditional journalism ethics, privacy, sanctity of law and public spaces, safety and newsworthiness.
Drone operators must be adequately trained, according to the guidelines, and the equipment must be suitable for safe and controlled flight in adequate weather conditions.
Newsworthiness is the foundation of the group’s “hierarchy of ethics.” Drones should be used only after careful deliberation. “The investigation must be of sufficient journalistic importance to risk using a potentially harmful aerial vehicle,” the statement says. “Do not use a drone if the information can be gathered by other, safer means.”
“Our aim is to get beyond hobby-grade equipment and to establish what options are available and workable to produce high quality video journalism using various types of (unmanned aerial vehicles) and camera setups,” CNN Senior Vice President David Vigilante says in a statement.
FAA Administrator Michael Huerta adds: “Unmanned aircraft offer news organizations significant opportunities. We hope this agreement with CNN and the work we are doing with other news organizations and associations will help safely integrate unmanned news gathering technology and operating procedures into the National Airspace System.”
With this kind of high-level cooperation, drone operators might declare they have liftoff.
Chicago Police Officer Jason Van Dyke shot 17-year-old Laquan McDonald 16 times, and every second of that fatal shooting was recorded by a police car dashboard camera in the middle of a Chicago street.
That video has been broadcast countless times, showing every twitch of the body and what appear to be puffs rising from McDonald’s body as bullets strike.
It’s gruesome, but it shows exactly what happened. The video is compelling evidence to disprove early police accounts that McDonald, who was black, was walking toward police with a knife in his hand and menacing police.
The video indicates that McDonald was walking away from police when Van Dyke, who is white, opened fire with a barrage that caused McDonald to twirl around, drop on his backside and roll to his right. Van Dyke kept shooting as McDonald lay in the street Oct. 20, 2014.
An autopsy confirmed that McDonald was shot 16 times. Van Dyke was indicted on six counts of first-degree murder and one count of official misconduct.
Police misconduct in shooting deaths in the United States is a major story propelled by television, a visual medium.
The use of phone video or dashboard cameras are recent developments that make it possible to show what happened, rather than rely on police or witness accounts. Technology is playing a bigger role in proving guilt or innocence.
But how many times is it necessary to show McDonald striding toward police, then falling to the ground as Van Dyke shoots him? Sometimes the whole scene is broadcast, sometimes it is edited so that it shows McDonald walking toward police.
Since all the Ethics AdviceLine for Journalists consultants teach on campuses across the country, it seemed logical to ask them how they and their students reacted to events that played out at the University of Missouri over press freedoms and protests over racial tensions.
An earlier AdviceLine blog post focused on what appeared to be an attack on First Amendment press freedoms when faculty member Melissa Click attempted to banish two student photographers from the protest scene, for which she later apologized.
Hugh Miller, assistant professor of philosophy at Loyola University Chicago, took what he called a contrarian view.
“I disagree,” said Miller, citing a lawyer friend who pointed out that the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution “is a restriction imposed upon the state, not upon individuals…. It imposes no restrictions on individuals.
“Reporters are perfectly free to jam a microphone in my face – no government authority can prevent them from doing so. And I am perfectly free to tell such reporters to get stuffed if I don’t want to talk or have them around. In so doing I do not violate the First Amendment. The First Amendment is not, IMHO [in my humble opinion], a license for journalists to demand, and get, access to coverage.
“Whether the contested access is on public property makes little difference to the First Amendment issue (though it may be important in a property rights sense). Nor does the First Amendment impose duties or obligations upon individuals to afford journalists the opportunity to cover them.

Arjun Kapoor and Parineeti Chopra have starred in two films together, and have been working on a third project. They share a camaraderie which is apparent from the interactions between them. After starting their journey together with Ishaqzaade, the actors went on to star together in Namaste England, and are also to be seen in Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar, which is yet to get a release date.
On Wednesday, the Panipat actor posted a picture of himself wearing face paint, looking like Joaquin Phoenix's Joker. Arjun posted the picture with the caption, "Mera naam JOKER." He also shared the same picture on his Instagram story and wrote, "Arey deewanon mujhe pehchano."
Among the many comments the post attracted was that of Parineeti, whose took a dig at the actor, writing, "Harkatein bhi." Actor Ayushmann Khurrana dropped several clap emojis in the comments section.
The Joker look has caught on among actors and audiences alike ever since the Hollywood film released to rave reviews. The film has also won several awards and is one of the top contenders at the Academy Awards this year.
Arjun also shared a workout video on his Instagram profile and wrote, "Workout Wednesday. In the zone."
Arjun has quite a bit of a reputation for trolling his friends on social media. He often posts funny comments on other actors' photos, pulling their leg or poking fun at their poses. A few days back Anushka Sharma had shared a set of pictures from her home's balcony. Arjun couldn't help but notice Anushka's socks in the photograph, wrote, "Socks ki dry cleaning mashallah top notch hai."

G3 Guide Bootfoot Waders
Whether your livelihood depends on wading into waters or your fly-fishing hobby has taken on a life of its own, the Simms Men's G3 Guide Bootfoot Felt Waders will keep you dry and warm. The blend of 3-layer and 5-layer Gore-Tex Pro keeps your legs stay supple and ice-free, even when you're wading in thigh-high frigid water with a bit of snow still on the banks. The adjustable nylon belt and adjustable elastic suspenders accommodate layering up top and keep the layers in close.
Gore-Tex Pro 5-layer fabric climbs up your legs, stopping at mid-thigh. Basically a club sandwich of waterproof, breathable protection, 2 layers of Gore-Tex laminate sit prettily between three pieces of durable, supple shell and lining layers. Water doesn't stand of a chance of getting inside, and Gore-Tex technology makes it 25% more breathable than other 5-layer laminates. Gore-Tex Pro 3-layer fabric covers your bum and stops at the upper edges of the bib. A bit lighter than what covers your legs, this 3-layer laminate still stops water with ease while letting your casting-caused sweat escape.
Deliberate design eliminates seam wear issues on your inner thighs, and Gore-Seam tape ensures stitching stays secure and needle holes are fully sealed. Thick and warm 7mm high-density neoprene stocking feet have grid fleece to help you stay warm when you're walking in cold water or standing still in a cool stream. The 2mm high-density, abrasion-resistant gravel guard withstands the wear and tear of wading. The felt soles keep your feet light and responsive so walking stays simple, even when you're crossing slippery stream beds.
The Tippet Tender Pocket comes off if you're escaping the rigors of guiding for a quick morning at your favorite, secret spot. When you're guiding, this removable pocket has a dual-entry zipper and a retractor docking station. A lined, hand-warmer pocket can be accessed from either side so you can keep your fingers toasty while watching a client try, try, and try again to cast without catching the brush along the bank.

Ukraine has been in the news much lately. However, I’m not referring to what’s happening there now. In the 1930’s they suffered from famine. But this famine wasn’t brought about by natural causes. Thus, this question about Ukraine. Could a chapter from its history be repeated? Will food be used in the U.S. as a means of control over those who won’t go along with the powers that be?
Take a look at one or both of the posts I’ve shared previously, and draw your own conclusions.
I’ve heard it alleged that the drought in the Southwest has been deliberately caused by weather modification. Will we ever know the truth about chemtrails and geoengineering and their impact on food production in the rest of the country?
California’s drought may force large amounts of land out of agricultural production. Raising crops to make fuel takes food off the table, too. We could be faced with significantly less food and higher prices. The exponential growth of the food stamps program won’t be enough to compensate.
What do you think? Is the 1930’s famine in Ukraine relevant to our future? Will gardening and setting food by be enough for you and me to survive? Feel free to leave a comment below.

What Is Involved in a Periodontal Deep Cleaning?
Untreated periodontal or gum disease can lead to long-term problems like tooth and bone loss. Anjum A. Ansari, D.M.D. offers periodontal deep cleaning at Anjum A. Ansari DMD General & Cosmetic Dentistry for residents in Boston, Massachusetts, who need this treatment to prevent their teeth and roots from becoming damaged. If the teeth and gums are not cared for appropriately, there is a good chance that your teeth may become loose and start to move. Over time, teeth can be lost, and your bite patterns altered to the point where jaw pain becomes chronic and uncomfortable.
Annual Dental Exams
Annual dental exams give your dentist a chance to identify any potential problems before they become too severe. During the exam, your dentist will clean the teeth, removing any plaque or buildup that may be present. The mouth’s soft tissues are also checked to ensure there is no irritation or erosion that may be damaging to the teeth and jawbone. If any issues are noticed during the exam, your dentist will develop a treatment plan that can be put in place to help correct the problem and speed up the healing process.
Good Oral Hygiene
One of the best ways to prevent periodontal disease is to regularly brush and floss your teeth. Brushing your teeth twice a day is needed to keep food from finding its way in between your teeth and under the gum line. It’s also vital that you floss your teeth as well. Flossing removes small pieces of debris that can work their way deep into the tissues between teeth where your toothbrush may not be able to reach. Using a good mouthwash that the American Dental Association has approved is also a plus.
Scaling and Root Planing
Scaling and root planning are two effective treatment options that will allow the dentist to reach pockets of debris that have made their way under the gum line. These two treatment options go deep under the gums to ensure that no bacteria or food debris can remain in place long enough to begin to do any damage to your gum tissue, the roots of the teeth, or the jawbone.
Residents who live in Boston, MA, should call the practice of Anjum A. Ansari DMD General & Cosmetic Dentistry if they are having trouble with their teeth or having issues with periodontal disease. Dr. Ansari offers periodontal deep cleaning for all her patients who live in or near Boston, Massachusetts. If you are a new patient and want to learn more, call (617) 581-0689. Existing patients can call (617) 523-6633 to schedule an appointment.

No-Tox Food Grade Silicone Valve Seal Lubricant
No-Tox Food Grade Silicone Valve Seal Lubricant, commonly known as No-Tox Silicone Valve Seal Lubricant, is a non-melting, smooth, tacky, waterproof, grease-like silicone compound and is NSF H1 registered for use where incidental food contact may occur. Food Grade Silicone Valve Seal Lubricant is designed to offer lasting lubrication under a variety of adverse operating conditions. It is effective over a very broad temperature range, -40°C to 204°C (-40°F to 400°F) and is ideal for use in “clean” industries such as food, beverage, pharmaceutical and personal care products where material compatibility is a concern.


Kayleigh McEnany, who served as White House press secretary through the final months of the Trump administration, has turned over a tranche of text messages to the House committee investigating the Capitol riot, according to a new report from ABC. McEnany was originally subpoenaed by the committee, which demanded both records and testimony from the ex-official, late last year, and she’s already appeared before investigators for questioning. Apparently, text messages that the panel obtained directly from McEnany were featured in a recent letter from investigators asking for testimony from Ivanka Trump; the text exchange features Fox host Sean Hannity calling for “no more stolen election talk” and McEnany replying (to that and other things) by saying “[that] is the playbook.” Obviously, pushing for that so-called “playbook” didn’t exactly work out.
A pair of Republican governors, Asa Hutchinson and Larry Hogan, have now said Trump that should not be the future of the GOP.
Hogan: "With America on the wrong path, the stakes are too high to double down on failure."
— Kyle Griffin (@kylegriffin1) February 1, 2022
McEnany provided testimony to committee investigators on January 13. Although the exact topics that were under discussion in her apparently hours-long appearance before the panel weren’t immediately fully clear, the committee previously noted in a press release how she repeatedly helped trumpet false claims that there was systematic fraud in the last presidential election. The committee also noted that McEnany “was reportedly present at times with the former President as he watched the January 6th attack.” Investigators have specifically targeted what went on at the White House around the time of the riot; recently, the panel obtained cooperation from Ben Williamson, who was a top aide to then-White House chief of staff Mark Meadows at the time of the riot. Williamson “was in the West Wing of the White House while the attack on the US Capitol was underway,” CNN reported.
— Ben Siegel (@bensiegel) February 1, 2022
Overall, the riot panel has apparently heard from over 400 individuals, and recently, the committee also scored a significant victory in their quest for relevant records when the U.S. Supreme Court rejected an argument from former President Donald Trump that certain records from his administration shouldn’t be given to investigators. Among those records was a draft executive order that outlined a plan for the Defense Department to seize voting machines and other election-related materials, essentially taking over the continuance of the electoral process in the United States — a disturbing prospect. The items were to be placed under a sham investigation. Records associated with McEnany were also among what was set to be handed over; those records included “proposed talking points” for the then-White House press secretary, as a court filing from last year described the materials.
Rep Raskin on Trump's 1/30 memo: "Look no further for the Trump smoking gun: he admits his purpose – to overturn the election. His job was to uphold the Constitution, take care that laws would be faithfully executed. He trashed the Constitution and tried to execute the Republic."
