The President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, answers Àngels Barceló’s questions in ‘Hoy por hoy’. This Sunday, the chief executive has relied on a “resounding” victory in Castilla y León in the elections on February 13, “greater than that of 2019”. Representatives of the Professional Agrarian Organizations have asked in Palencia that Pedro Sánchez put order in the Ministry of Consumption after its owner made some statements about the quality of the meat. Members of Asaja, Coag and Upa received with whistles the president of the Executive who participated in the act of the presentation of the candidacy of the PSOE to the presidency of the Junta de Castilla y León.
On the labor reform, Sánchez has attacked the PP for not supporting it and has asked that “for once in the entire legislature” they abandon their “destructive” position and vote yes to a reform that is “a good agreement for Spain, for the workers and employers “. Precisely this Monday, the secretary general of the PSOE heads the meeting of the Economic Area of the Federal Executive with party spokespersons on the labor reform.
The right is gaining ground despite the general approval of the Government’s policies, according to the joint barometer of the SER and ‘El País’. In addition, the majority of Spaniards trust the bipartisanship to solve the great challenges of the country.
Pedro Sánchez: “Going back to school is safe”
More than 8 million students return to classrooms this Monday, January 10, after the Christmas holidays, except in the Basque Country where they returned last Friday “Back to school is safe”
“We are going towards an endemic disease instead of a pandemic as before. We must respond with new instruments to this situation. This year we are seeing how pharmaceutical companies work in this direction. I want to make an announcement. The Government of Spain is going to make an announcement. Pfizer is making the purchase of COVID antivirals. Spain will buy 344,000 doses in January. “
“In January we will have that peak of infections and we hope to go down in February. This variant is more contagious and the seriousness remains to be seen.”
“Scientific evidence says that the outdoor mask also helps. Along with vaccination, the mask is one of the most effective measures.”
“We will convene another Conference of Presidents in January.”
“We will take some measure to control the price of antigen tests in pharmacies.”
“We have more than 90% of the Spanish population vaccinated. We are an example and an inspiration throughout the world.”
“In Spain there is also political denial”
“Minister Bolaños has told me that he has not called the PP to abstain in the vote on the labor reform, but he would see the call well.” ‘El Confidencial’ tells this morning that Félix Bolaños has contacted García Egea so that the PP abstains in the vote on the labor reform
“In Spain the political denial also exists because the right is opposed to any social advance such as pensions and the rise in the CPI; and also with the labor reform.”
“The right and the extreme right are emphasizing more about who supports these measures more than the measures. How is it possible that the opposition does not support the rise in the CPI for pensions?”
“I’m not going to get dragged into the mud”
“This Government has a parliamentary representation that has achieved two Budgets, something that has not happened since 2014. The Government of Spain has worked for the dignity of our compatriots with the minimum wage, the CPI for pensions, the labor reform, the ERTE and numerous measures. I am not going to let myself be dragged into the mud by many personal disqualifications that I hear on Wednesdays at the Government control sessions. “
“There are contacts with the opposition and the parliamentary groups. We still have pending the renewal of the decision-making body of the judges. We have opened a path of agreements with the social agents. When the right has wanted to unblock organizations, we have reached agreements. We have a denialist opposition that denies the most obvious: the very legitimacy of this government. “
The controversy over the meat sector
“I ask the opposition for respect for the institutions, respect for social dialogue and a minimum of rigor and education when doing politics.”
“It is a bad thing to lose. And from the opposition they have to make a useful dismissal”
“I am very sorry for all this controversy. We are talking about the meat sector that produces meat of extraordinary quality. And the sector follows the highest standards required by Spain and the EU.”
“I regret the statements -of Minister Garzón- that have motivated the controversy. The Government speaks in the BOE and accompanies the meat sector in a transformation.”
“The statements do not agree with the policies of the Government or with the performance of the sector. In the field of private conversations with the ministers, I will keep discretion. I insist, I regret this controversy. I think that with this I am saying everything.”
Elections in Castilla y León
“Castilla y León deserves a campaign that talks about the problems of citizens. The Government will always support Castilla y León. We will always have our hand out. And we are supporting decentralization.”
“In Castilla y León, the question is who will be the president as of February 13. When the general elections arrive, it will be all Spaniards who will respond. That will be at the end of 2023.”
Why is there a rise of the extreme right?
“The question is that democracy is questioned. And they look towards authoritarian leaderships. And that is what political denialism is doing and nurtures the extreme right of new voters. That is why it is important to dignify the lives of citizens with adequate reforms. democracy is dialogue, negotiation and agreements “.
“Every time I go to Congress I regret the level of disqualifications, but I cannot allow myself to lose heart. Spain deserves more than what the right wing shows.”
“I only have words of gratitude to my ministers. I want them to come out strengthened with the management of Vice President Yolanda Díaz.”
Will salaries be able to withstand the rise in prices?
“We must avoid that the rise in prices affects the entire economy. For now, analysts say that mid-year we will see a moderation in the price of energy.”
“The tax reform is a necessary reform and now we must consolidate the job creation data. This reform is necessary because this country is a very unequal country with children living in poverty. We must combat social exclusion and it leads to a debate about what welfare state we want. “
George Holan is chief editor at Plainsmen Post and has articles published in many notable publications in the last decade.


Bamboo flooring from Dubai flooring blends well with your living space. It’s a durable, sustainable, and environment-friendly solution. Below are the reasons why you should go for bamboo flooring.
- Eco-friendly and Durable
Bamboo is more sustainable and long-lasting than hardwood as it grows quickly. Bamboo regenerates itself, i.e., the roots aren’t destroyed when removed, which enables it to grow significantly in less time.
Additionally, bamboo reduces the need to replant vast stretches of forests and grows independently without fertilizers, pesticides, or irrigation systems. Hence, bamboo flooring is a good alternative for a living space due to the sustainability and durability you desire for your home.
- Sturdy and durable flooring
Bamboo flooring from Dubai Flooring comes in solid bamboo and strand woven bamboo, each having distinct advantages.
Bamboo flooring made of strand weaving is amazingly powerful. It is twice as hard as oak flooring and is a fantastic choice for busy areas like corridors or living rooms. As strand-woven bamboo flooring is durable, it is also suggested for commercial or business settings.
Stunning and organic colors
The bamboo floor is elite and looks similar to the natural wood color on the surface. This flooring can be used in any standard room, including bedrooms, lounges, kitchens, and workplaces. Whether you have guests or clients visiting your space, you can ensure their comfort with this beautiful flooring type.

Chronic kidney disease of undetermined etiology (CKDu) has emerged as a top health concern for agricultural workers in hot climate zones. The disorder has primarily been found in coastal areas of Central America among sugar cane workers, but a recent review surveyed CKDu globally and found that CKDu is present among workers in other tropical zones of the world including Sri Lanka, Tunisia, India, and Egypt.
The etiology is unknown, but the leading hypothesis is that workers in hot climates are subject to repeated heat stress and dehydration from physical exertion in the daytime heat, potentially exacerbated by inadequate fluid replacement. Each such episode of heat stress and dehydration can cause acute kidney injury (AKI) lasting up to 3 days. Repetitive AKI is then hypothesized to manifest as nephropathy affecting the glomeruli and renal tubules, terminating in chronic renal insufficiency and CKD. The disease might also be multifactorial with additional factors such as herbicide and pesticide exposure playing a role.
This research team will study and improve a large, statewide infrastructure that includes electronic health record (EHR) and administrative claims data to assess the incidence and prevalence of CKDu in Florida. The overall goals are to create a component of the data infrastructure that is focused on agricultural worker surveillance and then to use that component to study CKDu in Florida.

by Ronald Sukenick
COWS, whose style includes the detective story, the western, sci-fi, porn, and other elements of genre fiction, investigates the dark and dirty side of American culture taking off from the JonBenet murder case in Boulder, Colorado.
One of the leading postmodern innovators, Ronald Sukenick has been on the cutting edge of American writing for thirty years and his influence has been pervasive. His breakthrough books, Up, a novel, and The Death of the Novel and Other Stories, were landmarks in the explosion of a new kind of American fiction in the sixties and early seventies. His novel 98.6 has been in print for twenty five years. His recent books, Mosaic Man and Narralogues, turn his innovative style to the roots of Western tradition in the context of Pop Culture. Throughout his career Sukenick has used mass market modes to subvert the mass market, most lately in a movement called Avant-Pop.
"The reader who is interested in the future of fiction in this country should have a look at the writing of Sukenick." -- San Francisco Bay Guardian
"What characterizes Sukenick's fiction is its comedy, its sexual exuberance, its innovations in structure and characterization, and the accuracy of its depiction of the cultural context." --- Contemporary Literature
"Quick now, read him before he invents again!" --- NY Times Book Review

‘Out of Denmark’
by Johan Kobborg
‘Festpolonaise,’ excerpt from
‘From Siberia to Moscow,’ pas de deux from ‘William Tell,’ ‘Afsked,’ ‘The
Lesson,’ excerpts from ‘Napoli’
2003 – Queen Elizabeth Hall, London
I managed to get to the Queen Elizabeth
Hall for the programme. An enjoyable evening - being so up close to Alina
Cojocaru and Jamie Tapper was very special. Wherever one sits in the Royal
Opera House, one is never up close and personal. Having the opportunity
to watch their styles and technique so closely was like being in class.
Although in the final piece, Divertissements from “Napoli,” none of the
dancers had top billing and it really was a democratic Pas de Six and
Tarantella, Tapper and Cojocaru brought a class to the piece that made
it come alive. Tapper's arms are particularly elegant and her subtle changes
of positioning from the shoulder mark her out as a principal.
Why do we not seem more of Zenaida Yanowsky? I have always been her most
ardent fan ever since I saw her endless legs encased in black stockings
kick the ceiling in Ashley Page's choreographies. She is also the best
'first harlot' (“Romeo and Juliet”) I have ever seen. In fact her performance
is one of the things you talk about in the bar afterwards once you've
dispensed with the deceased couple themselves.
And now it is confirmed that she can master contemporary choreography
as if she were trained for it. Dylan Elmore and Yanowsky in Kim Brandstrup's
duet made the evening. The couple have parted and now they are trying
to saying to goodbye. At once all certain of their decision, and yet uncertain,
they are completely believable. Yanowsky's body is liquid and flows like
the very best of contemporary dancers: she is not ballerina in bare feet.
She uses her training and technique but the incorporation into Brandstrup's
language is seamless. Elmore from Batsheva Dance Company and Gulbenkian
Ballet was no less impressive. One of the few World Premieres I have seen
recently that I could sit through again! Indeed I would not only sit through
it again, but I would like to dance it myself. When choreography is truly
communicative, I want to dance it.
I would never want to dance in Flindt's “The Lesson.” I can only assume
that the reason this received applause – the like of which I have not
heard in London for a long time – is that we as a society are so desensitized
by the graphic portrayal of pain, death and violence in film, that we
are only moved when it hits us in the face. If Kobborg had played the
teacher in a way so we felt his dilemma and watched him wrestle with his
desires, I would have put up with the near groping of Cojocaru's breasts
and her ultimate strangling. Instead, it was clear from the moment Kobborg
walked into the room that she was 'done for' and that, because of the
music strewn all over the floor with chairs in places that you don't normally
find them in dance studios, this had happened many times before. “Silence
of the Lambs” goes Laurel and Hardy.
The over-acting from Kobborg was
dismal. Performed in the Bolshoi with me sitting at the back, I would
still have got the point. Do the dancers appreciate they are normally
acting when they perform in “Romeo and Juliet” and so when they are given
a very dark and dramatic piece, they should just apply the same principles.
Of course I am being unfair – it is Flindt's fault. Zenowsky didn't have
the opportunity to play the piano teacher like Mrs. Danvers. Instead she
storms around the room with a sour look on her face as if she is repressed.
The reason I am so critical is that I think if you are going to portray
child abuse and murder on stage – particularly in front of children sitting
in the audience wearing pink party frocks – there has to be a point.
Flindt's piece is obvious and I don't know what he is saying other than
"there are some real weirdos out there” so "Don't put your daughter
on the stage, Mrs. Robinson."
However, the piece divided the audience. Some people did not clap at all
and others practically gave standing ovations.

An Orwellian dystopia is what you get when America is governed by a president that rejects the very concepts of truth and reality and tells you to reject the very evidence provided by your senses and instead accept their “alternative facts.”
Donald Trump dragged us further into that dystopia today by claiming that he did indeed wear a face mask while touring a Honeywell factory in Arizona yesterday that manufactures now precious N95 masks despite the plethora of photos and video footage showing otherwise.
Reuters White House Correspondent Jeff Mason was the brave reporter willing to ask the president why he wasn’t wearing a mask in the factory despite having said in advance that he would be donning protective gear while taking the thinly-disguised campaign appearance masquerading as a factory tour.
I asked @realDonaldTrump why he didn’t wear a mask at the Honeywell plant yesterday. He said he had worn one. I said we did not see him wearing one. He said he wore one backstage and the Honeywell chief said it was not necessary to wear in the plant. pic.twitter.com/4KYvq3J6yE

Add your name to reject Trump & Republicans’ vile idea of sacrificing seniors’ lives to save the stock market!
If a tree falls in the woods and there is no one there to see it, how can anyone be sure that it actually happened?
In all fairness to the president — which is quite obviously more than the decidedly partisan Trump deserves — he was wearing protective goggles during the tour.
However, briefly donning a mask off camera and then appearing publicly without one is not exactly the sterling example of following safety guidelines provided by medical experts for social distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic that the American public needs to see right now.
Instead, Trump subjected himself to accusations of tone-deaf privilege and arrogance as he blithely feigned interest in the mask manufacturing process while he and his retinue walked past signs that read “Attention Face Mask required in this Area” as this tweet from CNN‘s Jim Acosta clearly demonstrates.
Trump not wearing mask but goggles at Honeywell facility. Other aides not wearing masks at all. Sign in facility says “face mask required in this area.” pic.twitter.com/Uq7Fr2ioeS
— Jim Acosta (@Acosta) May 5, 2020
Trump then used the factory setting to hold the closest equivalent he could manage to one of his pre-pandemic campaign rallies, minus the usual adoring crowds of raucous deplorables.
Whoever controls the music playing in the background at the factory at least managed to get in a bit of ironic mockery of the president’s current push to reopen the economy before most states have met the CDC guidelines to do so, particularly since the reopening has been egged on by Trump supporters refusing to wear the types of masks being made on the premises of the Arizona factory.
The soundtrack to Trump’s factory tour? The theme song to Live and Let Die.
They blasted “Live and Let Die” while Trump walked around a Honeywell plant today in Arizona without a mask. It’s hard to believe this clip is real. pic.twitter.com/M1dMe8KaMK
— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) May 5, 2020
Any realization that the background music was a perfect description of his own admission that reopening the economy — and consequently trying to boost his ever fainter chances at re-election — would result in some people “being affected badly,” as the president euphemizes the steadily increasing death toll, was apparently lost on Trump.
Hopefully, it will not be lost on voters in November.

North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP are searching for a pair of antique chainsaws stolen from the B.C. Forest Discovery Centre during an overnight break-and-enter on Sept. 8 or 9.
Taken were a 1958 McCulloch Super 44 and a 1962 McCulloch Mac 15. They are yellow with some rust and signs of wear.
“Both are very rare and part of our extensive and popular chainsaw exhibit collected over the years by the centre’s founder, Gerry Wellburn, and his son, Vern,” said centre manager Chris Gale. “They really have no value to anyone but a collector and we are unlikely to find replacements.”

The aim of this work package is to push the frontiers of optical imaging and biological image analysis to quantify the biological effects of airborne particles on single cells and cell populations from the biological models in Task 2.1, by using high-resolution optical microscopy. The results should enable identification of the key particulate parameters which affect human health and provide new insights into the mechanisms by which aerosol particles disrupt normally healthy cell function. High-resolution optical microscopy will be used to capture the biological effects of aerosol exposure at the subcellular, cellular and cell population levels (Task 3.1). The use of complex, spatially extended model systems poses challenges for many conventional microscopy techniques which are limited in terms of their depth penetration, spatial resolution and imaging speed and often require high levels of illumination causing phototoxic reactions that can lead to spurious cell responses . To overcome these limitations, Task 3.1 will use a combination of cutting-edge high-resolution optical microscopy techniques including super-resolution structured illumination , LSM  and FLIM [27-31] and optical microscopy results will be complemented by electron microscopy images of fixed lung models. Computational image analysis techniques will be developed to quantify the response of the lung models to aerosol exposure and extract unbiased, statistically robust response metrics from the raw image data (Task 3.2). Finally, a pilot imaging intercomparison will be carried out to assess the level of agreement between partners in measuring the biological response of in-vitro models to aerosol exposure (Task 3.3). Task 3.1: Quantitative high-resolution imaging of in-vitro lung models exposed to particulate suspensions The aim of this task is to apply a combination of high-resolution microscopy techniques to capture structural and dynamic image data to characterise the response of in-vitro lung models from Task 2.1 exposed to reference aerosols. Autofluorescence and direct fluorescent labelling will be used to allow visualisation and tracking of aerosol particles for measurement of intracellular uptake. Task 3.2: Image analysis and data processing The aim of this task is to develop computational image analysis tools for the data from Task 3.1 in order to quantify the response of the lung models to aerosol exposure and to track and count aerosol particles. Task 3.3: Imaging intercomparison The aim of this task is to carry out a pilot intercomparison study to assess the level of agreement between partners in measuring the biological response of a model biological systems exposed to reference aerosols.

Our feet carry us through our lives and we often don’t give them a second thought until there is a problem. Perhaps a bone spur, a bunion, arthritis, plantar fasciitis, or a sprain, start to slow us down. A foot soak is a simple and economical way to help resolve these conditions or enhance any treatment such as acupuncture and physical therapy. The heat increases circulation and brings fresh blood to the areas of pain so that the tissues can repair and heal. Acupuncture works by a similar mechanism to decrease pain. People often forget about using heat to treat these conditions because we have been taught to put ice on the area. However, it is best after the initial injury, such as a sprained ankle, to alternate with heat and cold on the affected area. Conditions such as arthritis where there is stiffness and pain, especially the type worse with cold and damp weather respond very well to the warmth of a foot soak or hand bath.
In Chinese medicine we look at each individual holistically. We look at the balance of hot and cold within the body. For optimum health these temperatures needs to be in balance. Many people, who work in cold spaces such as in or near refrigerators used for food processing, cooks, and florists, may be exposed to an unnatural amount of artificial cold. Even office jobs where there is air conditioning blowing can be detrimental for some individuals, especially if it is focused on a certain area like the feet or neck. Overtime, this cold seeps into the body and can cause problems. A hot foot bath is a great way to mitigate this and also soothes tired feet.
Insomnia and anxiety are two other common conditions that respond very well to a hot foot bath before bed. This is not obvious, and many people are surprised to hear this. The heat helps bring excess energy down from the mind and relaxes the nervous system to encourage a state of calm and bring deep sleep.
Adding epsom salts which are available at most pharmacies are a great way to enhance a hot foot soak . I recommend ½ cup per foot soak. For the foot bath fill a dish basin about ⅓ of the way with hot water, or enough water to submerge your feet. The temperature should be similar to that in a hot tub or hot bath. Keep a towel close by to dry your feet with when you’re done. Spend at least 10-20 minutes or until the water has cooled significantly.
A few drops of essential oils can also be added to the foot bath. Lavender essential oil is great for stress, anxiety, and insomnia. Lavender, helichrysum, and frankincense are helpful for soft tissue injuries. Rosemary, peppermint, and ginger for arthritis. Some companies make blends for specific conditions you can buy and add to your foot bath. Integrative Acupuncture in Montpelier and Williston has begun to offer herbal foot soaks for home care for specific conditions. Home care with herbal foot soaks involves cooking the herbs at a slow simmer and then adding white vinegar to the mixture. Next, soak your foot or feet into the warm water for at least 15 minutes. The herbal soak can be saved and reused 6-8 times after refrigeration and gently re-warming it.
Chinese herbs selected by your acupuncturist that are tailored to your condition are yet another way enhance a foot bath and effectively treat a number conditions.
Remember, our skin is the largest organ of our body. The heat, minerals and herbs that we absorb through the skin of our feet have a local and global effect on our body and emotions. Our bodies heal and rest best when we are relaxed so take a load off, and plunge in.

Energy drinks may provide a bit too much of a boost to your heart, creating additional strain on the organ and causing it to contract more rapidly than usual, German researchers report.
Healthy people who drank energy drinks high in caffeine and taurine experienced significantly increased heart contraction rates an hour later, according to research scheduled for presentation Monday at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America, in Chicago.
The study raises concerns that energy drinks might be bad for the heart, particularly for people who already have heart disease, said Dr. Kim Williams, vice president of the American College of Cardiology.
"We know there are drugs that can improve the function of the heart, but in the long term they have a detrimental effect on the heart," said Williams, a cardiology professor at Wayne State University School of Medicine, in Detroit.
For example, adrenaline can make the heart race, but such overexertion can wear the heart muscle down, he said. There's also the possibility that a person could develop an irregular heartbeat.
From 2007 to 2011, the number of emergency room visits related to energy drinks nearly doubled in the United States, rising from slightly more than 10,000 to nearly 21,000, according to a meeting news release. Most of the cases involved young adults aged 18 to 25, followed by people aged 26 to 39.

Our Constitution is supposed to protect American citizens from unlawful search and seizure of property. However, federal legislation has found loopholes in the sentiment imposed by our founding fathers. A United States Federal Appeals Court announced their ruling which allows police officers to seek and search cell phone records directly from wireless carriers, without a warrant.
The same court responsible for approving warrentless searches, is the same court that ruled just last year to deny what some consider to be invasions of privacy. American citizens can no longer expect any amount of personal security when it comes to their cell phone use.
Cops can now easily access every piece of data on your phone, without a search warrant, which includes information such as where you go, how long you stayed, personal phone calls, text messages, and websites visits, among other personal details.
Christian Broda has learned that many people are claiming this new law that allows the search and seizure of our phone records to be in direct violation of our constitutional rights as American citizens. Unfortunately, the Federal Appeals Court disagrees and has made it clear that officials will have full and unlimited access to your data.

Two former budget officials from two presidential administrations weighed in yesterday on how the Obama administration should manage the nation's economic recovery, according to Reuters, agreeing that the government should reduce its expenditures on defense and Social Security while demanding voters pay higher taxes.
Peter Orszag and David Stockman, former budget directors under the Obama and Reagan administrations respectively, spoke Monday at a Thomson Reuters Newsmaker event, where they alternately sparred and concurred on budgetary matters.
Both argued the government should "scale back Social Security payments and end decade-old income tax cuts to reduce the federal deficit," according to Reuters, and said the economy would be in better shape if "citizens paid more taxes and took smaller benefits from the government in their old age."
On deficit reduction, however, Stockman, in line with conservative Republican ideology, believes the government should reduce spending to pay down the national debt. Orszag, true to the Obama administration's long-held philosophy, argued that projecting people's jobs will be better off in the long run than reducing the nation's deficit through dramatic spending cuts, according to Reuters.
"David wants us to flog ourselves to have some brighter future and the problem is that the flogging can do some serious damage to that future," Orszag said, according to Reuters, in response to Stockman's proposal for deficit reduction.
Their differences on deficit reduction appropriately reflect the ongoing budget battles in Washington today: As Democrats and Republicans prepare for negotiations over a full-year bill to fund the government, the two sides are starting from dramatically different positions. The Democratic bill seeks $1.85 trillion worth of savings over 10 years, through an equal combination of tax revenue increases and spending cuts; the Republican bill would balance the budget over 10 years through spending cuts and an overhaul of the nation's Medicare system.

When IKAR, a Los Angeles Jewish community, purchased a piece of property four years ago, they began envisioning a synagogue home for themselves. The community, which has been a congregation for about 18 years now, never owned their own building.
As they began planning what their synagogue and community home would be, something else became clear.
“It became really evident to us that one of the very best things we could do as a faith community buying and owning property in Los Angeles was to figure out how to build permanent supportive housing and affordable housing on our site, alongside the home that we’re building for our own community,” IKAR Director of Community Organizing Brooke Wirtschafter told The Center Square.
The community decided to embark on plans to create supportive housing for homeless individuals living in Los Angeles. Their vision is to create a 55-unit permanent supportive housing development that will be built concurrently with the synagogue, with hopes of it being completed by 2025.
But one barrier threatened to throw a wrench in their plans – costly parking requirements set by city zoning laws. The zoning rules meant IKAR built far more parking spaces than they wanted or needed, adding costs of up to $55,000 per parking space, Wirtschafter said.
An existing California law authored by Assemblymember Buffy Wicks, D-Oakland, signed in 2020 reduced parking requirements for religious institutions that build affordable housing on their property. This law, however, did not apply in IKAR’s case because the site was new and did not have existing parking.
Wirtschafter said she and other community members knew something had to change. They approached a few lawmakers about clarifying the law to make it possible for religious communities like IKAR to develop affordable housing with their new synagogue while taking advantage of parking requirement exemptions.
Inspired by IKAR’s situation, […]
Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.

A huge two-day festival is coming to the Midlands as part of a celebration of the hit BBC drama Peaky Blinders.
More than 40,000 people are expected to attend the event in Birmingham over the weekend of September 14 and 15.
The Legitimate Peaky Blinders Festival takes place in Digbeth, one of the Peaky Blinders’ stomping grounds, and will feature a host of very big names indeed.
So who’s coming, who’s not coming, and who might be coming?
What’s the hi-tech way that Cillian Murphy will be showcasing his skills?
Will David Beckham turn up to try to plug his clothing company’s Peaky Blinders’ range?
And what’s the identity of the ‘mystery global superstar’ who will be on the main stage bill on Saturday, September 14?
Organisers say they won’t say who it is until he’s about to step on to the stage.
So join us in our guessing game as we hunt for clues as to who it might definitely maybe not be after all.
These are the names of the guests who have confirmed to date and who will definitely be there all things being equal.
A Q&A which will see stars Paul Anderson (Arthur Shelby), Finn Cole (Michael Gray), Kate Phillips (Linda Shelby) and Paddy Considine (Father John Hughes) all in attendance.
More stars from the series are promised but have yet to be announced.
Series creator Steven Knight will be in a Q&A on both nights with series five director Anthony Byrne (Arena Stage).
And Michelin-starred chef Glynn Purnell is devising a range of special cocktails.
Definitely not coming
Lead actor Cillian Murphy (Thomas Shelby) is said to be shooting ‘a big Hollywood film’ (probably A Quiet Place 2).
He cannot make it in person having also missed July’s series 5 world premiere at Birmingham Town Hall.
But he will be bring Thomas Shelby to life on a live stream and will read war poems, too.
Former Led Zeppelin frontman Robert Plant was invited but will be in the United States and so he can be ruled out, too.
Sorry to disappoint if you’re a fan but when you see the wish list..!
Definitely yes, but no?
Another big name invited is former Manchester United and England star David Beckham. He was pictured on the set of Series 5 with some of the stars of the drama.
And the fashion label he co-owns, Kent & Curwen, has collaborated with the series.
Promoter John Empson says: “David has been invited along with his family but hasn’t said yes or no.
“Sometimes you have to wait for people to turn up.”
Definitely maybe or maybe not be?
Liam Gallagher would be the obvious favourite to be the ‘global’ mystery guest artist on Saturday when Primal Scream will headline the main stage.
Steven Knight recently worked with Liam on the video for ‘One of Us’, the fourth single off his new album Why Me? Why Not.
He has also tweeted a hint he might turn up and have some involvement in Peaky Blinders.
We asked John if the former Oasis star was the man.
John says: “It will be a big name, but we are not announcing who it is until he’s on stage.”
Any more clues?
“It’s not not Nick Cave,” said John.
How about Snoop Dogg who has declared he’s a big fan.
“It’s definitely not Snoop. It’s a ballsy decision to not announce who it is, which is part of the buzz we are trying to create.
“But he’s a big friend of the show and you are not far off?”
So with the show having been filmed in both Liverpool and Manchester, perhaps it could be Sir Paul McCartney?
Or, given the use of Black Sabbath’s music in the opening episode of Series Five, dare anyone really hope it could be Ozzy Osbourne who had cancel his world tour earlier this year - now rearranged with a new Birmingham date for 2019 ?
What is the Legitimate Peaky Blinders Festival?
Around 40,000 people are expected to coverge on Digbeth on September 14 and 15 for an immersive extravaganza of music, drama and dance.
Headlined by rockers Primal Scream on the Saturday and Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes on the Sunday, there is a huge line-up.
There will be five open-air venues and lots of indoor ones, including a museum boasting weapons, costumes and props from the series.
Dancers from Rambert will perform a contemporary Peaky Blinders dance work three times a day, and both nights will see Steven Knight leading a live Q&A session.

Hawthorne's novel concerns the consequences of the affair. Neither you, nor the coeditors you shared it with will be able to recover it again. Allusion, Badge of shame, Cain and Abel 1552 Words 5 Pages and emotional strain resulting from sex out of wedlock seems to be an almost unbearable burden. Growing up in Marblehead, Massachusetts, next door to infamous Salem, meant that our high school English teachers were contractually obligated to cram a Nathaniel Hawthorne novel down our throats every September, followed up with a yearly breeze through The Crucible. And in God's eyes, whose sin was greater? Guilt, passion, love, and hate all play key roles in the development of the novel. Ojai is a relatively small town in Southern California.
This however does not settle well in a Puritan community and she goes through years of scorn and guilt. Andres Gannon Puritans are often mischaracterized as overly strict and moral persons whose lives revolve around killjoy attitudes and laws against all innocent social pleasures. As critics immediately recognized upon publication of the novel in 1850, one of its principal themes involved conflict between the individual and society. But on the day of the sermon, Chillingworth persuades the ship's captain to take him on board as well. She becomes pregnant and the town finds out she has committed adultery. She has a husband, and tells the colonists of Boston he will be arriving to be with her soon.
The story begins as Hester Prynne, the novel's protagonist, is led out of a prison carrying an infant, named Pearl, in her arms. Soman Chainani, August 15, 2007, and Adam Kissel, ed. But while Hester is treated as an outcast, Dimmesdale is praised as an honorable guy—even though they participated in the same sin. The Crucible by Arthur Miller takes place in a Puritan New England town of Salem, Massachusetts. The contradiction exposes the extent to which virginity and the perception of purity are still influential concepts that complicate a young woman's decision-making and self-image.
Despite her scary appearance, many people are, at this very moment, trying to shelter themselves under the wing of the federal government. People are trying to figure out how somebody that beautiful can commit a crime so big like that. Pearl then asks him to stand with her the next day at noon. She went to school dressed like a 'tramp '. Both have similar concepts, themes, time period, setting and plot. Since the ideal was almost impossible to attain, society was fraught with sin. Abigail defends her name and her life through evil means.
Religion governed the community and all aspects of life in these communities. This eventually proves to be especially true for Hester Prynne, the main character in Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet. Hidden Sin Since the beginning of time we have shown our imperfections as human beings. Don't worry—this one doesn't feature a sexed-up version of Hester Prynne as played by Demi Moore. The similarities between these two works are so significant because it goes beyond being promiscuous. Hester remains in Boston until her death and is buried alongside Dimmesdale.
She alone suffers from sin that is not her own, but rather that of her mother. Narrative: How does the author use narrative technique in this section? Luckily for Hester Prynn in The Scarlet Letter, she is. How she helps Brendan in the bedroom is so hilarious, I laughed hard! The movie is Easy A, starring Emma Stone, a young actress whose charm and adorable smile makes you want to try being eighteen again, but this time with even a tenth of her confidence. She really gets the guy in the end. In the Scarlet Letter guilt takes a toll on Dimmesdale and drives him to death! Altogether though, both the book and the movie have a happy ending. While Easy A may be a little less extreme, it is an accurate portrayal of how female promiscuity is dealt with in modern society. Sin and redemption is not only a theme of life, it is also a major theme in The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne.
How does Hawthorne feel about her? The main character Olive Emma Stone is not actually promiscuous. Hawthorne tells about her life and how she goes through life with the excruciating burden like that of sin. With Shmoop's help, A is for awesome. Where in the colony does the opening chapter take place? Hester Prynne, John Winthrop, Nathaniel Hawthorne 1343 Words 4 Pages Tajbik Sheikh The Scarlet Letter Intro In the 16th century, Puritans immigrated to America from Great Britain in order to escape religious persecution, and by the mid 17th century they had erected a well established society based on their theological beliefs. She does this by doing a favor for one of her gay friends who was getting bullied.
Hester Prynne, Nathaniel Hawthorne, The Scarlet Letter 972 Words 3 Pages The Scarlet Letter Questions 1. Hester is forced to wear the letter A on her gown at all times. As detailed by the Bible in the Book of Genesis, Adam and Eve ate the fruit from the tree of knowledge committing the original sin. With this novel, came enough success for Hawthorne to completely devote himself to his writings. Well, while I thought this movie was pretty good, and certainly had some very funny scenes — it is definitely not a retelling of The Scarlet Letter. Another similarity between the two media is both main characters wear a red letter A on their clothes. Have you ever noticed a connection between a book and a movie? Hester refuses to tell Pearl what the scarlet letter signifies, and Pearl becomes obsessed with the letter.
Blow, Conflict, Hester Prynne 2560 Words 7 Pages Reading Report The Scarlet Letter Abstract The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne explores several aspects in the Puritan community of 17th century Boston. Do the members remind you of any figures from the novel? Neither you, nor the coeditors you shared it with will be able to recover it again. In the novel, there can be little doubt that Hester is a… 2688 Words 11 Pages Hester vs. He wrote and published his first piece of literature, The Spectator, in the August of year 1820. How do these camera techniques contribute to our understanding of what it's like to be the center of rumor and gossip? The Scarlet Letter highlights Nature's complexity by showing that the Puritan idea of Nature as an entirely evil force is a naive misconception.
The Puritans act and seem so committed to their religion. In accomplishing the main purpose, it has appeared allowable, by a few extra touches, to give a faint representation of a mode of life not heretofore described, together with some of the characters that move in it, among whom the author happened to make one. So what do you do with this information? Chillingworth poses as a doctor to get inside the prison to speak with Hester, and there forces her to promise never to reveal that he's her husband. Hester then takes matters into her own hands: she intercepts Dimmesdale in the forest and tells him Chillingworth's true identity. Relationship between men and women are very constrained and that are what made adultery such a bad sin in the eyes of everyone in the community. The Scarlet Letter is a story, of forbidden love, about a woman named Hester Prynne who has been punished by the society for committing a grave sin, adultery.

The Jakarta Post
The Jakarta Legal Aid Institute (LBH Jakarta) has urged President Joko "Jokowi" Widodo to punish the National Police chief over the arrest of 1,724 activists in Papua for holding rallies in support of a pro-referendum group.
Veronica Koman, a lawyer with LBH Jakarta, also criticized the police’s move to detain two activists in Merauke who were delivering a notification letter on a rally plan on Tuesday. The rally was aimed to show their support for the International Parliamentarians for West Papua (IPWP) event in London.
"What was the basis for detaining people delivering a notification letter on a rally plan? Forty-one activists were held in Jayapura just for distributing rally invitation pamphlets. These are indiscriminate, unconstitutional measures," she said as quoted by tempo.co on Tuesday.
Thousands of the activists on Monday held simultaneous rallies in seven cities in four provinces, namely Papua (Merauke, Jayapura, Wamena), West Papua (Fakfak, Sorong), Central Java (Semarang), and South Sulawesi (Makassar).
The rally was aimed to show support for the United Liberation Movement for West Papua's (ULMWP) full membership in the Melanesian Spearhead Group (MSG). ULMWP is a political organization calling for a referendum on Papua.
According to LBH Jakarta data, 1,449 activists were detained in Jayapura, 118 in Merauke, 45 in Semarang, 42 in Makassar, 29 in Fakfak, 27 in Sorong, and 14 others in Wamena on Monday. Taking previous arrests in Merauke (April 25), Jayapura (April 30), Wamena and Merauke (May 1) into account, 1,839 Papua activists have been detained since April.
"Most of them have been released, but dozens are still detained in Merauke, Fakfak and Wamena. [...] President Joko Widodo’s frequent visits to Papua are useless if he only attends ceremonial events. He must listen to people’s aspirations," Veronica said.
LBH Jakarta director Alghiffari Aqsa claimed that the arrests violated the 1998 law on the freedom of expression in public spaces. Despite their political call for a referendum, he highlighted the importance of preserving the activists' constitutional rights as Indonesian citizens.
He urged Jokowi to punish the National Police chief, Papua Police chief, and West Papua Police chief for violating Papuans’ constitutional rights. He also urged the release of the detained activists. (ags)

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
MEDIA CONTACT: Jennifer Wood of Phelps Media Group, Inc. International at (561) 753-3389 or at email@example.com
50th Washington International Horse Show Welcomes Olympian Ashley Holzer for Dressage Exhibition
Washington, D.C. – October13, 2008 – The 50th annual Washington International Horse Show (WIHS) is pleased to announce that three-time Olympic dressage rider Ashley Holzer and her 2008 Olympic mount, Pop Art, will perform a dressage exhibition the show, which will be held Oct. 21-26 at Verizon Center in Washington, D.C.
Holzer, originally from Toronto, Ontario, Canada, now lives in New York City with her husband, show jumper Rusty Holzer, and their family. Holzer began her equestrian career riding hunters, then switched to dressage. At 16, she competed at the North American Young Riders Championships. She then started competing internationally and won a team bronze medal for Canada in dressage at the 1988 Seoul Olympic Games. She competed in two more Olympic Games for her home country, in 2004 (Athens) and 2008 (Hong Kong).
At the 2006, Holzer rode her Olympic mount, Pop Art, an 11-year-old Dutch Warmblood by Amsterdam, to the win in the WIHS Dressage Invitational. This year, Holzer will once again ride her top mount in a grand prix freestyle exhibition. She may also reveal new freestyle music for her routine. “It’s a very exciting freestyle. These horses are athletes that can perform, and the freestyle allows me to show what they can do,” she said.
Holzer noted that the WIHS at Verizon Center is “probably one of the best indoor venues.” Holzer will also compete at the Royal Winter Fair in Toronto two weeks later in preparation for the 2009 FEI World Cup Finals in Las Vegas.
“I think that it is really very apropos to what we see in Europe for indoor shows,” Holzer said of Washington. “The people are very close to the ring. They’re very involved, motivated, excited about it. When I showed there, it was a thrill because the crowd was so into it. With dressage horses, you’re sort of used to coming in and nobody getting that emotionally involved. At Washington, they really do. That makes it way more fun. It really showcases our sport; that it can be exciting, and it can be fun to watch horses do these brilliant maneuvers to music. Washington has done a great job showcasing that for us.”
Holzer thinks the great crowds at the WIHS will also enjoy watching Pop Art show his talents. “I think that anyone in the equestrian world can appreciate an athlete in any discipline, whether it’s a roper or a Saddlebred or a hunter- whatever it is. I think you can appreciate great horses. I’m honored to be at Washington for sure, and I hope I do a great job,” she commented. “I think just giving some people the opportunity to see dressage to music will open their eyes to the sport, and hopefully they’ll get interested in it.”

The great Athenian philosopher Plato was born in BCE and lived to be eighty. Acknowledged masterpieces among his works are the Symposium, which explores love in its many aspects, from physical desire to pursuit of the beautiful and the good, and the Republic, which concerns righteousness and also treats education, gender, society, and slavery.
In the famous Symposium and Phaedrus, written when Socrates was still alive, we find the origin and meaning of love. Cratylus discusses the nature of language. The great masterpiece in ten books, the Republic, concerns righteousness (and involves education, equality of the sexes, the structure of society, and abolition of slavery).
itself as the Many. We have here the latest reflections of Plato on space, time, soul, and many physical matters. In the lengthy treatise of the Laws, he addresses himself to the final duty of the philosopher as announced in the Republic: a long habituation to abstract thought will qualify rather than disqualify him for the practical regulation of public and private affairs.

Low-carbon sources of energy provided 42.9% of the UK’s electricity generation during 2015, according to figures from the UK Government’s Department of Energy & Climate Change (DECC).
The total rose from 35.6% in 2014 thanks to increased generation from nuclear power stations and from renewable energy sources, such as hydro, solar and wind.
Gas accounted for 31.3% of the electricity supplied in 2015, up from 30.9% in 2014.
Coal’s share of power generation dropped to 25.9% from 33.6% following a rise in the carbon floor price and the conversion of a third unit at Drax power station to burn biomass.
Nuclear output increases
Nuclear output rose to 23% from 20.5% after plants that had been offline towards the end of 2014 were brought back into service.
Gas extraction from the UK continental shelf rose thanks to the Breagh and Jasmine fields coming online and less maintenance work.
But the UK still imported more gas than it extracted.

Developers such as Bosa Development Corp. are proceeding with plans to build new high-rise residential condominiums in downtown San Diego, while mindful that the market for them may not bounce back to its heights of the early 2000s.
Vancouver, B.C.-based Bosa Development plans to break ground in early 2014 on a 41-story, 221-unit condo tower, President Nat Bosa said. The project, currently known as “Broadway and Pacific” though not yet formally named, would be the first condo-only high-rise built downtown in nearly eight years.
“The fundamentals here are improving,” said Bosa, whose company has completed eight condo developments in downtown San Diego in the past 15 years.
Such optimism in the market is tempered, however, as developers don’t expect a quick return to the frenzied local market of a decade ago. Downtown saw an explosion of condo construction and sales that stretched from 2002 to 2006 before new projects dried up following a meltdown in sales that hit in 2007, a year before the nation’s larger economic downturn.
The fundamentals Bosa talks about aren’t rebounding “as fast as in San Francisco, where they’ve got more job growth in places like the downtown area,” he said.
Condos Are Coming
Bosa’s project, at Broadway and Pacific Highway, was approved by city planners last year and is in its final permitting stages. The first condo units would likely go on sale in 2016, with the project also consisting of 16,000 square feet of ground-floor retail and 419 parking spaces.
Another Vancouver company, Pinnacle International, recently began construction on a 40-story high-rise, expected to have 965 condos and apartments, at 15th Street and Island Avenue in East Village.
The developer has not finalized the mix of for-rent and for-sale units that will be available. Pinnacle has informed the city that it will be gauging local condo market recovery as the project nears completion, likely in late 2015, said Brad Richter, assistant vice president of planning for Civic San Diego, which oversees downtown projects.
The vast majority of the nearly 2,000 multifamily units under construction or in the pipeline in downtown San Diego are apartments, most of them in East Village and Little Italy.
Local market analyst Russ Valone said obtaining construction financing for condo projects remains extremely difficult, with lenders continuing to favor apartment developments despite recent improvements in the single-family residential building and sales markets.
Condo Resale Market Could Resurge
No big new projects have replenished the supply of condos since Chicago-based Equity Residential bought the 679-unit Vantage Pointe condo development in 2010 and converted it to apartments — erasing most of the available new-condo inventory.
As a result, downtown had only seven new condos — spread among three buildings — available for sale as of mid-2013.
“When those units are sold, there will be no more new, for-sale condos downtown,” said Valone, president and CEO of San Diego-based research and consulting firm MarketPointe Realty Advisors. “With what’s in the pipeline, the earliest that any new product would come online is late 2015 or early 2016.”
Valone said the downtown skyline has gone from more than 60 construction cranes working on various condo projects in the 2002-2006 period to a half-dozen cranes now deployed primarily on new apartments. While San Diego saw 2,316 new downtown condos sold at the market peak of 2004, that number dropped to 80 sold in 2012.
Since countywide trends suggest rising popularity for higher-density residential developments, such as for-sale attached townhomes, Valone said the downtown condo resale market could see a resurgence in coming months.
Mark Mills, an agent with RE/MAX LLC who specializes in downtown residential resale properties, has observed the resale condo market trending in favor of sellers so far in 2013, with sales prices on track to rise 10 percent over last year. The inventory of downtown resale condos stands at 230 units, he said, still below the 400 units seen two years ago, but above the low of 175 reached six months ago.
“The main issue for a while has been a lack of inventory,” Mills said. “We’ve recently seen a couple of units selling for $800,000 with multiple offers.”
And while Bosa’s development firm does not track condo resales in its completed downtown projects, he has heard anecdotally this year of an uptick in units going on the market, a sign of confidence among current condo owners.
“It’s still a buyer’s market, but the sellers are now holding out for better prices, as they should,” Bosa said.
Condo Conversions Coming?
Developers might also be encouraged to convert some apartment projects currently in the pipeline into condo developments. This happened in 2005, for instance, when a downtown development called Palermo opened as condos, after it was originally planned as rental units.
“That could be the trend again within the next two years,” Valone said. “You would probably see apartment conversions before you see a lot of new condo projects being built.”
Bosa said his company focuses on high-end condos, and units at Broadway and Pacific will likely sell for “well north of $1 million.” He is aiming for a mix of young professionals and retirees looking to minimize driving and reside near downtown shopping, dining and nightlife.
“We would welcome more development by others downtown,” Bosa said. “I think you need a lot more kinds of product, at different price points, to serve this market because so many more people will be coming to live downtown.”

We are of the view that the Local Flood Risk Management Strategy (LFRMS) and Flood Risk Management Plans (FRMPs) fall within the scope of plans that require SEA.
In February 2014 we consulted on a Draft Scoping Report for the SEA setting out how we propose to undertake the SEA of the LFRMS and FRMPs. It included a review of the relevant plans and programmes, baseline environmental information and a proposed set of SEA objectives and monitoring indicators. The comments received were taken into account in producing the Final Scoping Report:

Duncan Bannatyne slams his own gym clients in ‘Ratner moment’
The Scottish entrepreneur Duncan Bannatyne has taken the unusual step of criticising the clients of his own gym business empire, saying he is unhappy with the kind of people using the chain after he decided to drop the membership prices.
The tough-talking star of Dragons’ Den, who owns the country’s largest independent chain of health clubs, reportedly lamented the rise of “problem” customers who lodge complaints and try to bend rules.
The health club tycoon described an “intimidating” encounter he had in a gym in Manchester with two heavily tattooed Russian bodybuilders who didn’t speak English. “It struck me how intimidating they might be for some of our older members,” he said, according to Scotland on Sunday.
Membership to Mr Bannatyne’s fitness clubs across the UK has rocketed recently after badly performing gyms slashed their monthly prices from £42 to £29 in a bid to attract new business and fight competition.
While the plan has been successful in money terms, Mr Bannatyne appears to regret the move. “There is always the risk that if you let the atmosphere change in one club, it will eventually affect other clubs too”, he said. “More and more, people are trying to sneak in a friend without paying or making complaints in the hope of getting money back.
“Once you lower your thresholds, you start to attract more of the kinds of customers who create problems and take up staff time.”
The publicist Max Clifford told The Independent that Mr Bannatyne’s remarks were “crazy and stupid” and labelled it a “Gerald Ratner moment”, a reference to the British businessman who wiped £500m from the value of the Ratner Group in 1991 by saying his products were “total crap”.
“It’s making a bad situation worse,” Mr Clifford said. “For someone to be criticising the people that are paying him, as Gerald Ratner found out years ago, is the last thing you should be doing.”
Bannatyne said in a statement: “Anyone who reads my book will know that this story is taken completely out of context. It is untrue that I have criticised any of my members.”
The 64-year-old businessman has also revealed in his new book, Riding The Storm, how his acrimonious divorce from Joanne McCue in 2012, whom he married in 2006 and had two children by, cost him £345m and drove him to the brink of suicide.
In his book he says the divorce crushed him “financially”, with his wealth in The Sunday Times Rich List falling from £430m to £85m in two years.
