Says he’s “kind of glad” that the case against Biden has gotten stronger for Republicans.
Rep. James Comer, a Republican from Kentucky, said that the Biden administration made it hard for Republicans to look into the business ties of the Biden family and “unintentionally helped” the probe.
“In a way, I’m glad that Biden’s lawyer, Abbe Lowell, and the Biden administration have been putting up roadblocks,” Comer told Maria Bartiromo of Fox News on “Sunday Morning Futures.”
“Because when I asked for that information two weeks ago and now, we have a much stronger case in court for why we need these documents that the Biden family and the government are keeping from us,” he said.
So, Comer said, “they have unintentionally helped our case to get these documents so we can give the American people the proof and openness they deserve.”
The Kentucky congressman is in charge of the House Oversight Committee, which is looking into the business ties of the Biden family both in the United States and abroad.
Comer said that different government leaders, like Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen and the Biden administration, made it hard for Republicans to get the documents.
“But since we last talked, we now have bank records in hand, which is good. Some people work with our committee. In the last two weeks, we have met with these people either in person or through their lawyers “He/she said.
“Now we have documents that show exactly how the Biden family got money from the Chinese Communist Party, and I’ll tell you, Maria, it’s as bad as we thought. It’s very worrying,” he said.
Comer told Bartiromo that the committee has bank records of people who worked with the Biden family in different businesses and found “a lot of transfers from account to account to account.” Comer said he thinks there were frequent cash transfers to hide where the money came from.
“The banks would think that they must be hiding money or doing something else illegal. Maria, I don’t know for sure that they were trying to hide money. I think they were trying to hide where that money came from, and I think it came from the Chinese Communist Party “Comer said.


Nicki Minaj, Drake and Lil Wayne are arguably the most talented trio hip-hop has to offer. Unfortunately – at least for Nicki and Wayne – they do not always exercise the best business practices. Also, their record deal has been well-documented in the sense that unpaid royalties and payments have been owed to many Young Money/Cash Money artists for years.Recently, Nicki’s name popped up in headlines for the $450,000 settlement lawsuit against Tracy Chapman. Nicki Minaj sampled Chapman’s 1988 song, “Baby Can I Hold You” on her track “Sorry’ featuring Nas. The song did not make the cut for her fourth studio album, “Queen” but leaked on Funkmaster Flex. Nicki claimed that the suit was unjustifiable because she had no control of the song leak and that Chapman never owned the song. Chapman sued on the grounds of unpaid royalties from an unauthorized sample. As opposed to escalating to trial where additional fees would pile up, Chapman accepted the initial offering and won the case.
“Artists usually experiment with works before seeking licenses from rights holders and rights holders typically ask to see a proposed work before approving a license. A ruling uprooting these common practices would limit creativity and stifle innovation within the music industry.” (Judge Virginia Phillips)
Nicki also got hit with another lawsuit for her “Rich Sex” song on the same album, “Queen” by the likes of Brinx Billions. Nicki & Brinx first became acquainted on MySpace circa 2007. Nicki peered in on the “extremely marketable” song which was originally recorded by BB. Rather than collaboration, Nicki allegedly stole the song & made her own version. Brinx was listed as a writer and is seeking $200M from Universal Music Group, Young Money and Cash Money for damages.

Nutrex EAA + Hydration – 390 grams Blood Orange
EAA+ HYDRATION is a true standout in both the essential amino acid (EAA) and branched chain amino acid (BCAA) categories. It supercharges your body with a fully effective amount of all EAAs including BCAAs needed to increase muscle protein synthesis. Each serving delivers 8g of EAAs. It's important to regularly consume these amino acids in ample amounts through a proper diet or supplementation as the body can't produce them on his own and muscles can't grow without them.
EAA+ HYDRATION SETTING THE STANDARD
WHAT SETS THIS APART
EAA + HYDRATION further provides vital electrolytes for optimum hydration. The added hydration complex consists of Coconut Water, Taurine and advanced Albion minerals, which can be easily absorbed and assimilated as key electrolytes. To help boost the absorption process of key essential amino acids and hydration ingredients even more, natural AstraGin has been added.
In essence, EAA +HYDRATION is a comprehensive EAA, BCAA and hydration formula that helps to keep workout intensity high even under the toughest conditions. EAA +HYDRATION is ideal for consumption pre, during and after workouts or at any time during the day when you need to refuel on critical amino acids and electrolytes. All ingredients and amounts are fully disclosed on the label, so you know exactly what you are getting. Finally, EAA +HYDRATION is also setting a new taste standard among amino acids. This product delivers an incredible burst of exotic fruit flavors so delicious you will want to sip on it all day long.
THE SCIENCE BEHIND EAA+ HYDRATION
Essential Amino Acids are organic compounds that come together to form proteins. Amino acids are basically the building blocks of protein. One of the main functions of amino acids are to repair and grow muscle tissue. Essential amino acids are not produced by the body like many other amino acids and therefore must be consumed in your daily diet to ensure the body receives the adequate amount to function properly.
Supplementing with Essential Amino Acids has been shown through clinical research to be more effective than consuming whole protein or any other combination of amino acids on muscle protein synthesis (muscle growth). While data suggests BCAAs are effective at supporting muscle repair and growth, it is EAAs that show significantly greater increases in muscle protein synthesis.
In fact, whole protein sources, like whey or casein, were proven less effective than EAAs when taken around training time at enhancing muscle amino acid uptake and improving muscle protein balance. For instance, as little as 12 grams of EAAs were shown to be TWICE as effective at increasing muscle protein synthesis than 20 grams of either whey protein or casein protein around training. This is why EAA +HYDRATION is your ideal training partner to help stimulate and optimize muscle growth along with full body recovery.

Written By: SKyPAC Executive Director/CEO, Jan Allan Zarr
The Chinese proverb reads, “Give a man a fish and you feed him for the day, teach a man to fish – feed him for a lifetime.” With early Arts Education, not only are we meeting the immediate need, we are also providing the foundation for change and improvement!
Parents often hear about the wonderful benefits of organized sports, but the creative arts are another terrific medium to keep their children active, healthy and engaged. Creativity, social skills, goal achievement, communication skills and self-esteem are all characteristics that are attained through participation in the arts. Exposure to and participation in the theater arts provide benefits that cannot be found in sports programs, such as increased comfort with public speaking, greater self-confidence and trust in group process, and a positive outlet that helps children learn how to think outside of the box and solve creative problems. For the introverted child who is uncertain in sport group activities, theater can be the perfect place to gain personal confidence in smaller steps. While we are not building houses or feeding the poor, we are helping to nourish souls and those souls will, in return, nourish others. Albert Einstein once said, “Imagination is more important than knowledge.” Just like any other skill, creativity needs to be practiced to develop into the kind of problem-solving ability that is needed in the workplace of the 21st century.
Fostering creativity is important, even for children who are successful in organized sports and school activities. Arts Education provides a safe place for students to practice creativity and take personal risks in a venue that celebrates success with every new work of art, whether it is a performance, written or visual piece. The social rewards each child gains through his/her participation in art activities are rich and numerous. Whether a child has been diagnosed with a learning difference that makes social encounters particularly challenging for them or not, all young people can profit from the myriad of opportunities for social growth available to them through art education. We live in a highly competitive era where our children are introduced at an early age to the critical realities of our achievement and success-oriented society. From academics, to athletics, to social interaction, youth are pressured to get the best grades, to score the most points, to have the most friends. This is especially true during the middle and high school years. At the same time, segments of our society tend to view the arts as a luxury, a frill, an extra-curricular activity running a distant second to the popular status of sports.
When times are hard in the economy, many people believe that cutting funding to “unimportant” programs like art, theatre and music is the first solution. It is thought by many people that we will raise a generation of financially sound individuals if we simply focus on subjects that could potentially place them in high paying jobs with benefits. But what if the arts were part of the answer? How can something like theatrical arts impact their everyday lives, and what are the benefits of the arts in education? In a sea of eager and well behaved students, less fortunate children often slip through the cracks of the educational system. It is a self-fulfilling prophecy: these children are born poor, they grow up poor, and they end up poor. What if there was a way to help these kids before it’s too late?
By encouraging our youth to take part in some form of arts during these informative school years, students are able to develop skills that they will find useful in practical real life situations. In general, students who study the arts tend to be better communicators, highly motivated, and score higher on tests of creative thinking than those without art education. According to the issue brief for the National Governors Association, studies have found that students who study the arts are “four times more likely to be recognized for academic achievement, four times more likely to participate in a math and science fair, three times more likely to win an award for school attendance and four times more likely to win an award for writing an essay or poem. These skills and achievements are necessary to gain the upper hand in today’s competitive workforce. Everyone needs a place where they feel they belong, can relax and be themselves. If you learn to be emotionally present at a young age, you will grow up to be a healthy participant in the ensemble that is the world.”
Arts Education can help break the vicious cycle of poverty and encourage children to strive for a better life. An educated society is an ideal society. Therefore an increase in arts education is important for our economy, our future, and our well-being as a society!

South Africa, Cape Town – Family of Khayelitsha woman Sibongiseni Gabada who was murdered early this year is calling for the case to speed up so her family can get to feel relieved of the justice to be served.
Gabada’s boyfriend, Sithembele Klaas, will appear in the Khayelitsha Magistrate’s Court on Monday for allegedly killing her in May. He is suspected of stuffing Gabada’s body into a bag and placing it behind his shack for no one to see. Neighbours discovered her body under a pile of rubbish on May 29, two weeks after she disappeared.
The case was initially thrown out of court due to inconclusive evidence but was put back on the court roll. This as the country commemorates 16 Days of Activism for No Violence Against Women and Children.
Gabada’s sister, Nomathamsanqa Gabada, said: “The case needs to be sped up. There have been too many unnecessary delays and this means that my sister will not receive justice the longer the case drags. The suspect has previous charges. This means he is a danger to society and should be convicted.”
She said her sister’s death was a great shock to the family. “The way she was murdered was even more shocking, discovering her body in a bag. The fact that the case was thrown out of court the first time around made me lose hope in the justice system. It was only through the help of Ilitha Labantu that the case was brought to court again. My family wants closure and this can only be done when the suspect is convicted.”
Ilitha Labantu is an organisation that advocates for the rights of women and children and is currently seeking justice for Gabada.
Ilitha Labantu spokesperson Siya Monakali said the criminal justice system needed to treat all cases of violence against women and children with the same level of seriousness and urgency they deserved.
“Far too often, a suspect is arrested today and set free next week and the very same suspect will commit the same offence he was arrested for. This is a never-ending cycle where justice is not served. Successful convictions of perpetrators of GBV (gender-based violence) are needed,” he said.
Monakali said a lot more needed to be done to put an end to the scourge of GBV.
“We need to capacitate all relevant structures such as the police and civil society organisations to help them deal with the issue of gender-based violence. More funding and resources need to be allocated to these structures,” he said.

Going to the supermarket
It's not that bad very often, but last weekend it happened and I'm not proud of it. I do have explanations, excuses ... the weather, work, stress, brain blockage, lack of motivation and probably pure laziness at times. But explanations and excuses won't feed us and living in a country where supermarkets are closed on Sundays standing in front of an empty fridge was a little frustrating.
How could it come that far?
The only thing I could do was order take-out food which is usually too salty for my taste or distract myself with a little browsing tour.
Can you imagine how I felt when I found the following items reminding me of groceries even more?
Let's start with a nice refreshing drink. Pink lemonade earrings by Katalina Jewelry. Much better than tap water!
How about some fruit next? Pixe's Treasure Chest has these beautiful mouth-watering peach earrings for you! I had a withered apple ...
I think honey would go very well with the peaches, don't you? I happened to stumble upon these copper stick earrings with cute honey-colored glass beads in the shop of Northern Girl Jewelry. Mmmh, honey.
One of the most important things I need is milk. Now I wonder why this cuff by BeadsBeadingBeaded reminded me of milk? Think it could have been the cow?
Great, after this tour I was even more hungry than before and I wondered what would be cooking at my Mom's place ......... ;-)

You love your smartphone’s large, colourful display, but it’s the battery’s mortal enemy. More than any other component of your phone, the display consumes battery life at a devastating pace. Most phones include an auto-brightness feature that automatically adjusts the screen’s brightness to suit ambient lighting levels.
Under your phone’s display settings menu, you should find an option labeled ‘Screen Timeout’ or something similar. (On an iPhone, look for Auto-Lock in the General settings menu.) This setting controls how long your phone’s screen stays lit after receiving input, such as a tap.
Every second counts here, so set your timeout to the shortest available time. On most Android phones, the minimum is 15 seconds. If your screen timeout is currently set to 2 minutes, consider reducing that figure to 30 seconds or less. On an iPhone, the minimum you can set is 1 minute.
No matter now much you love using Bluetooth with your hands-free headset, your wireless speaker or activity tracker, the extra radio is constantly listening for signals from the outside world. When you aren’t in your car, or when you aren’t playing music wirelessly, turn off the Bluetooth radio. This way, you can add an hour or more to your phone’s battery life.
As with Bluetooth, your phone’s Wi-Fi radio is a serious battery drainer.
While you will at times need to use your home or office Wi-Fi connection rather than 3G or 4G for internet access and other data services, there’s little point in leaving the Wi-Fi radio on when you’re out and about.
Toggle it off when you go out the door, and turn it back on only when you plan to use data services within range of your Wi-Fi network.
In iOS it’s easier than ever to toggle Bluetooth and Wi-Fi on and off. Simply swipe up from the bottom of the screen to display the Control Centre.
The exception to this rule is for location services, since Wi-Fi can help your phone to obtain a GPS fix using less power (see myths section below).
Another big battery sucker is apps using GPS, Wi-Fi and mobile data for monitoring your location.
As a user, you can revoke apps’ access to location services, or set levels (in Android) to determine how much power they use.
Be smart about what you allow each app to access. Allowing your apps to integrate with your location, camera, or SD card can be convenient, but is most often not necessary.
Granting too many permissions to an app that never uses them will drain your battery for no benefit.
Multitasking – the ability to run more than one app at a time – is a powerful smartphone feature. It can also burn a lot of energy, because every app you run uses a share of your phone’s processor cycles
Prefer to have your phone alert you to incoming calls by vibrating rather than playing a ringtone? We understand the inclination; unfortunately, vibrating uses much more power than playing a ringtone does.
After all, a ringtone only has to make a tiny membrane in your phone’s speaker vibrate enough to produce sound.
It seems as though almost every app now polls the internet in search of updates, news, messages, and other information.
When it finds something, the app may chime, light up your screen and display a message, make your LED blink, or do all of the above. All of these things consume energy.
Having your phone constantly check if there’s new email is a waste of power.
Instead of allowing email to be pushed to your phone at any time, why not change the setting to fetch mail every so often
Maybe 15 or 30 minutes if you don’t need to respond immediately to anyone?
Hidden away in settings menus are usually plenty of options for disabling things like sensors or features that you never use, and more.
Most of these will make a minimal impact on battery life, but combined, they can become significant.
On an iPhone you can disable the Raise to Speak feature in the Siri settings, which is said to increase battery life.
Finally, as we’ve mentioned, it’s worth rebooting your phone from time to time, rather than leaving it in sleep mode all the time. This can sometimes cure otherwise inexplicable battery draining problems.

Commercial banks have raised customers’ international dollar spending limit on overseas Point of Sale (PoS) and online card transactions by over 1000 per cent.
The policy shift is expected to help travellers pay their hotel bills, make reservations and other transactions using their debit cards.
The decision to increase the spending limit followed improved dollar liquidity in the market triggered by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN)-sustained interventions.
Confirming the rising dollar liquidity in the economy, Fitch Ratings said Nigerian banks’ ability to access dollar has improved considerably since the CBN introduced a foreign exchange “window” aimed at investors and exporters.

Live Casino is a new trend in the online casino industry that gives players an experience like they are playing at a real casino. The action is streamed live to your computer or mobile device, and you can chat with the dealer and other players. It is a more social and exciting way to play casino games than traditional online casinos, but it is still important to choose the right casino.
The best live casinos will offer a wide variety of games and easy withdrawals. They should also have a responsible gambling policy and help you to spot signs of gambling addiction. They should be licensed and offer a variety of deposit and withdrawal methods.
They should be safe and secure, so you can play without worry about identity theft or credit card fraud. They should also have a range of bonuses for their players.
There are many different types of casino games available on the internet, including video slots and table games. However, live dealer games are one of the most popular, and for good reason.
Unlike online slots and other games, the action is streamed live to your computer screen or mobile device. You can interact with a real person, and it is a completely different experience than the one you get at a traditional online casino.
These games are offered by software providers all over the world. Some of them have studios in places like the Philippines, Latvia, Spain, Costa Rice, Malta and Ireland.
The most common live games are blackjack, roulette, baccarat, poker and more. These are the most popular and have the highest payout percentages, making them a good choice for players who want to win big prizes.
In order to make a live casino game work, a small device called the Game Control Unit (GCU) must be used. This tiny device encodes the data that is being transmitted from the live stream and converts it into information for the player’s screen. It also helps the dealer in running the game.
You can also use text chat to talk to the dealer and other players in real-time. This feature is often called “live chat.” You can use it to tell your dealer that you want to change your bet or to ask a question.
These games are also very popular because they offer a unique and fun way to experience the thrill of casino gaming without leaving your home or office. Some of these games are even filmed in exotic locations, making them an exciting way to enjoy the thrill of real-life casino action.
There are two ways to play live dealer games: you can either play them through a live stream or through a dedicated app for your Android, iPhone or iPad. Some online casinos also offer a web browser version, which works on your desktop or laptop.
To get started, you need to register an account at Live Casino. They have a simple registration process that requires you to provide your personal details, set a username and password, and agree to their terms and conditions. You can do this by signing up via email or using Facebook or Google. Then, you can begin enjoying your new account!

Buganda Katikkiro Charles Peter Mayiga used the21st session of Buganda’s Lukiiko to urge all people in Buganda to contribute to the kingdom’s purse.
The Monday sitting approved the kingdom’s Shs 7.4bn budget for the financial year 201415 at Bulange.In his speech, Mayiga said it was embarrassing for a more than 1,000-year-old kingdom to run such a small budget.
“I thank members of the Lukiiko for passing this financial year’s budget, but our resource envelope is still very meagre,” Mayiga said.
“How can Buganda kingdom, which has spent more than 1,000 years, use a Shs 7bn budget a whole year when companies like Mukwano use over and above [that]?”
Mayiga said his push for transparency in the kingdom was getting many nods of approval.
“I receive a lot of letters from people appreciating the transparency and [they] tell me to jealously safeguard Buganda’s assets, and I always assure them that I will do so. But what is [the] worth [of assets] that I am safeguarding [here]?” he asked.
“I will safeguard Buganda’s assets but a budget totalling to Shs 7bn and the assets we have are very meagre, I want to safeguard bigger assets,” he said.
At the beginning of July, Kingdom Finance Minister Eva Nagawa Mukasa presented the Shs 7.4bn budget for Lukiiko members to consider. Most of the budget revenue will be raised from Buganda land board, Buganda’s higher institutions of learning, rent from the kingdom’s buildings, markets and the kingdom’s companies such as CBS, among others.
Nagawa said most of the revenue collected would be spent on completing Kasubi tombs, Masengere plaza in Bulange, clearing the Kabaka’s lake, establishing a Buganda museum and developing Kigo and Makindye kingdom land. Speaking about the recent clashes in Bundibugyo, Kasese and Ntoroko districts that killed at least 65 people, Mayiga sent the kingdom’s heartfelt condolences to the bereaved families.
He tasked government to establish an inquiry into the actual cause of the deadly attacks.
“We appeal to the authorities to establish an impartial commission of inquiry to carry out a genuine investigation such that the country knows what caused these attacks in the Rwenzori region… ” he said.
“As Buganda kingdom, we urge all the warring factions to remain calm throughout the negotiation process, because negotiating with others doesn’t necessarily call for chaos, but it gives all parties an opportunity to understand each other.”
The katikkiro also announced that Kabaka Ronald Muwenda Mutebi II would be opening the 22nd Buganda Lukiiko on August 18.

We were up and on the road at 7:30am this morning. It wasn't raining and we spied a few bits of blue sky so were hopeful the day wouldn't be as bad as predicted. We headed north with the goal of reaching Cape Reinga. It's 120km from Kaitaia with a travel time of 1.5 hours. The road was winding in patches but overall not too bad. Along the way we saw just about every animal: cows, sheep, pigs, horses, a rabbit, turkeys wandering along (and crossing) the road, geese, kingfishers and even two emus!
The whole way up the weather looked promising until we got about 5km away from the end and then the fog appeared. We parked the car and headed for the lighthouse and could not see a thing. If you've ever seen a photo of Cape Reinga in the sunshine you'd know why we were disappointed.
However, we continued on and found the lighthouse. Surprisingly we actually managed to spot an island or two between clouds and got a good view of the spot where the Tasman Sea meets the Pacific Ocean, their currents crashing together. It is also a sacred site for the Maori people and is where their spirits enter the underworld.
The wind was getting stronger and the fog heavier so we decided to head off and went back south. Along the way we stopped at the Giant Te Paki Sand Dunes. On a dry day you can board down them. We were going to go for a walk up onto them but the Te Paki River was in the way, after looking around and taking a few photos we decided not to worry and luckily too because just as we got back in the car it bucketed down. We watched a couple make the dash back down the dunes and to their car but they were soaked by the time they made it.
We continued south and turned off to go to 90 Mile Beach (which apparently is only 55 miles long). There are supposed to be wild horses around the area and we saw some horses in an unfenced area so presume that was them. We followed an unsealed road for about 10km and after being expressly told NOT to drive the hire car on the beach we suddenly found ourselves driving onto the beach. We hastily turned around and found somewhere to park then returned to the beach on foot.
Now regardless of whether the beach is technically 90 or 55 miles long, it's bloody long! It stretches off into the distance as far as the eye can see. It is bordered by big sand dunes too. Definitely worth a look!
By this time it was getting around midday and we still had a bit of a drive ahead of us. We had a Macca's lunch back at Kaitaia (finally getting some L&P) and continued south. We headed for Kohukohu and caught the car ferry from Narrows to Rawene. It was a bizarre feeling sitting in the car with the slowly passing scenery the only indication that we were moving.
Ten minutes later we drove off and continued onto Opononi where we stopped for a look at the Niua Sand Dunes at Hokianga Harbour. By this time the sun was out and there was lots of blue sky. We drove further on a little way to Omapere where there was a lookout back to the harbour and dunes and also the Tasman Sea. It was a really beautiful spot and somewhere we would’ve loved to have spent more time at. Alas, it was getting late and we still had two more "must-sees" on our list so we hit the road again.
Not much further along and we started driving through the Waipoua Forest (you go through it for about 20km). We got to our first must-see, Tane Mahuta or Lord of the Forest, the largest kauri tree but unfortunately the access path to him was closed! We were disappointed but found out that they were installing shoe cleaning stations which is great because the kauri trees are threatened by a disease that gets in their roots and it can be carried around on people's feet. We wouldn't want to kill Tane Mahuta and anyway you've always got to have a reason to come back!
A couple of kilometres down the road we came to our second must-see, Te Matua Ngahere or Father of the Forest, the oldest (and second largest) kauri tree. It was getting kind of dark but we washed our shoes and headed down the path anyway making a quick stop at the Four Sisters, a group of four huge kauri trees growing right next to each other. We continued on our way and despite some light rain soldiered on determined to see our tree.
We're so glad we did, he was absolutely magnificent with a girth of 16.41m, a trunk height of 10.21m and a total height of 29.9m. It was quite dark on the way back to the car park and we were hoping to chance upon a kiwi but no such luck.
We got back on the road and headed straight for Dargaville, our port for the night, arriving at about 7:15pm. We'll take a look around here tomorrow morning and then head further south.


Plans have been proposed by the Exe Water Sports Association (EWSA) to build a world class water sports facility on the Exeter Quay.
The project, estimated to cost £4million, will be built on existing vacant land at the old John Bridger Marine site, near the existing club premises. The new facility promises a state of the art clubhouse, bigger boat houses and high quality equipment designed to accommodate the projected 70% increase in membership.
Detailed site, travel and ecology plans are currently being drawn up with the planning application set to be submitted in the next few months. The majority of the capital funding will come from Sport England, NGOs and commercial partners – they are also expected to contribute largely to the overall project fund.
Recent years have seen Exeter become home to some of Britain’s best sporting facilities on the land and now the EWSA are hoping to extend this to encompass water-based activities. The new water-sports centre would become a regional centre of excellence bringing the best dragon boaters, rowers and canoeists to the city. The club has even gone as far to state they hope “Exeter members will go on to National, International and Olympic success in the future”.
The new facilities will also allow the club to run local water sports courses for schools, colleges and university students in the area. At present member clubs are limited by equipment and facilities, but the £4million centre would make water sports more accessible to Exeter citizens.
Both the Exeter City Council Estates Department and the local Canal and Quay trust are in full support of the proposed plans. However, to explain and reassure residents, the EWSA will be holding a Public Consultation Meeting in the clubhouse on Wednesday 22 January 2012 from 4pm-8pm. The meeting is open to everyone and will provide more details about the project and its aims.
To find out more contact the project committee via email@example.com or visit their website on www.exewatersports.org.

Safety comes when you know that you were not dropped here alone to fend for yourself, but that you are being guided toward your peace and joy every moment of your life. True safety comes when you surrender your individual mind to your higher Guidance and allow your soul to have dominion over your body/mind.
The part of you that is usually reasonable and self-reassuring has been momentarily knocked out of commission. You feel out of control, helpless, demoralized by the emotional excesses running rampant within you, at loss for your usual coping mechanisms. Regardless of what causes the emotional hijack, how to quell it?

University of Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of the Congo
Posters & Accepted Abstracts: J Neurol Disord
Analysis of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) obtained by lumbar puncture (LP) is an essential step for the diagnostic approach of neurological disorders in particular neuroinfections. In low-resource settings, it is often the only available diagnostic method. Despite its key contribution, little is known on the risks and benefits of LP in the large tropical areas where hospital based neuroimaging is not available. The objectives of this study were to assess the safety and diagnostic yield of LP in a rural hospital of Central Africa and to identify predictors of CSF pleocytosis (white blood cell count >5/μL) as surrogate marker of neuro-infections. From 2012 to 2015, 351 patients admitted for neurological disorders in the rural hospital of Mosango, Kwilu province, Democratic Republic of Congo, were evaluated using a systematic clinical and laboratory workup and a standard operating procedure for LP. An LP was successfully performed in 307 patients (87.5%). Serious post LP adverse events (headache, backache or transient confusion) were observed in 23 (7.5%) of them but they were self-limiting and no death or long-term sequelae were attributable to LP. CSF pleocytosis was present in 54 participants (17.6%), almost always associated with neuro-infections. Presenting features strongly and independently associated with CSF pleocytosis were fever, altered consciousness, HIV infection and positive screening serology for human African trypanosomiasis. In conclusion, the established procedure for LP was safe in this hospital setting with no neuroimaging, and CSF analysis brought a substantial diagnostic contribution. A set of presenting features may help for accurately selecting the patients for whom LP would be most beneficial.

I was really good about posting on my 21 Day sugar detox, then I got tired of posting. I did make it through the whole 21 days, then Thanksgiving with my family in Arkansas. I pretty much bailed out on just eating real food and I feel like crap!! I am sorry I stalled out on posting what I ate and went through on my 21 DSD, but I am doing it again. I will start January 6th with the groups. It is the first Monday of the month. In celebration of that I am eating real food today! It’s not 21 DSD compliant unless you work out or are pregnant or nursing. I am none of the above!! I will attempt to purchase the new 21 DSD cook book, but since funds are low, it may not happen in time for the start. Okay, here are my breakfast pictures below.
Homemade organic apple sauce sprinkled with a touch of cinnamon. I took all the apples I had and chopped them up, put them in my crock pot and let them cook on low over night. Nothing added to them at all, skins left on. I let them cool a little and put them in my Blendtec blender on the soup setting.

(Washington, DC) Judicial Watch announced today that it received 540 pages and a supplemental four pages of documents from the office of the Secretary of State of California revealing how state officials pressured social media companies (Twitter, Facebook, Google (YouTube)) to censor posts about the 2020 election. Included in these documents were “misinformation briefings” emails that were compiled by communications firm SKDK, that lists Biden for President as their top client of 2020. The documents show how the state agency successfully pressured YouTube to censor a Judicial Watch video concerning the vote by mail and a Judicial Watch lawsuit settlement about California voter roll clean up.
The records were obtained in response to Judicial Watch’s California Public Records Act (CPRA) requests to the Office of the California Secretary of State for records related to the Office of Election Cybersecurity’s database of social media posts; communications with social media companies; and other social media related records regarding the 2020 elections. Judicial Watch filed the requests after a December 2020 report surfaced that the state agency was surveilling, tracking, and seeking to censor the speech of Americans:
The Office of Election Cybersecurity in the California Secretary of State’s office monitored and tracked social media posts, decided if they were misinformation, stored the posts in an internal database coded by threat level, and on 31 different occasions requested posts be removed. In 24 cases, the social media companies agreed and either took down the posts or flagged them as misinformation, according to Jenna Dresner, senior public information officer for the Office of Election Cybersecurity.
“We don’t take down posts, that is not our role to play,” Dresner said. “We alert potential sources of misinformation to the social media companies and we let them make that call based on community standards they created.”
Head of conservative group Judicial Watch Hosts video alleging Democrats benefit from incorrect voter rolls and ballot collection.


Majority of Pennsylvanians favor overhauling how congressional, legislative districts are drawn
Two out of three registered voters believe the Keystone State should let an independent commission draw the boundaries.
A majority of Pennsylvania voters support creating an independent commission to draw legislative and congressional district lines, according to a recent poll conducted by the Center for Opinion Research at Franklin & Marshall College in partnership with two voter advocacy groups.
The findings come one month after a panel of state lawmakers held its first hearing in three years on redistricting reform during which advocates testified that gerrymandering the practice whereby the political party in control draws district boundaries to its benefit has Pennsylvanians feeling disenfranchised.
The poll found that 67% of those contacted for the survey said they want an independent commission to be in charge of the redrawing districts, which typically occurs every 10 years after the completion of the national census.
The poll, which was commissioned by the League of Women Voters of Pennsylvania and Fair Districts PA, shows that support for an independent commission is high across all demographic groups and throughout geographic regions. It also shows broad bipartisan support with Democrats (66%), Republicans (63%) and independents (78%) backing the plan.
The survey of 901 registered voters 426 Democrats, 353 Republicans and 122 independents was conducted between Aug. 20 and Sept. 10. The margin of error is plus or minus 5.6 percentage points.
Carol Kuniholm, chairwoman of Fair Districts PA, said the poll confirms the growing alarm the nonpartisan coalition hears in every county and corner of Pennsylvania.
"Citizens believe that the current system is rigged in favor of political self-interests not the interests of the people," she said in a statement. "The research clearly shows that voters no longer trust a process that lets party leaders manipulate maps for their own personal and party advantage."
Some other key findings from the poll:
72% said the current system of drawing legislative districts allows party leaders to put party interests above voter interests.
70% said the current system creates polarization and gridlock.
65% said the current system lets elected officials choose their voters instead of voters choosing them.
62% said the current system gives voters fewer choices on Election Day.
61% said the current system of drawing legislative districts prevents voters from holding their representatives accountable.
"The results of this poll are clear," Franklin & Marshall pollster Berwood A. Yost said in a statement. "Voters from all political, geographic and demographic groups support changing the way legislative districts are drawn. The support for reform is likely motivated by the fact that voters believe the current process for drawing legislative districts puts party interests ahead of voter interests."
Fair Districts PA and the League of Women Voters of Pennsylvania are seeking to change that. The groups want to take redistricting out of the hands of political leaders and move to a system used by some other states in which a nonpartisan citizens commission oversees the process.
And time is running to do that.
The next round of redistricting will occur after the 2020 census. For the new system to be in place by then, the approval process must begin now. The change requires amending the state Constitution. For that to happen, the plan must clear the Legislature twice and win a public vote.

Zane Ninjago character
Zane is the white ninja. He is the elemental master of ice. Zane is a unique character in the series, as he is not human but a Nindroid, a robotic ninja. A fact Zane and the other ninja’s did not know in the beginning. Zane was created by Dr Julien, who erased his memory to prevent Zane from remembering his death.
One of the high points of Zane’s life is when he meets P.I.X.A.L. while battling the Nindroids, an army of cyborgs created in Zane’s image. P.I.X.A.L. is another cyborg created by Cyrus Borg. She becomes his girlfriend and even lives inside his head for a while. At one point, P.I.X.A.L. sacrifices herself to save Zane’s life, and it devastated him. But he never gives up on her and eventually finds a way to bring her back to life. Their love for each other proves to be a driving force that helps them overcome even the toughest challenges.
In, Ninjago Season 6 Skybound Minifigures we get to know Echo Zane. This is a Nindroid made on a blueprint of Zane, but not as robust. He is rusty, and he has to be wind up. The character is very loveable and is one of the more popular characters in the Ninjago series.

Hoarding Cleanup in Allentown
Hoarding Cleanup in Allentown, Pennsylvania
Hoarding disorder is a complex mental health issue that affects millions of individuals and families worldwide, and Allentown, Pennsylvania, is no exception. It manifests as a compulsive need to collect items, regardless of their value.
Over time, the collected items can consume living spaces, creating health hazards and dangerous living conditions. This is where professional hoarding cleanup services in Allentown come in, offering compassionate assistance to restore a safe and healthy environment to those affected by hoarding disorders.
Understanding the Hoarding Cleanup Process
One of the primary reasons why hoarding cleanup is best left to professionals is the meticulous and extensive process it involves. It is not just about getting rid of items but addressing the underlying mental health issues and creating customized solutions to restore safety and order in the affected homes.
Assessing the Situation and Creating a Plan
The hoarding cleanup process begins with an assessment of the situation. Professionals gather information about the size and scope of the issue, safety concerns, and specific needs and preferences of the client. Based on this information, they create a customized plan to tackle the project effectively and efficiently while minimizing emotional turmoil for the client.
Clutter Removal and Organization
Once the plan is in place, the actual cleanup begins. This involves sorting through the items to identify those that must be discarded, donated, or kept, with the utmost respect for the client’s choices. The clutter removal process is done systematically and organized, often using labeling, categorizing, and bagging techniques to ensure a smooth workflow.
Biohazard Cleanup and Sanitation
In many hoarding situations, dangerous biohazards such as mold, feces, insect infestations, or decaying animal carcasses may be dangerous. These require professional handling and appropriate disposal methods, which hoarding cleanup specialists are equipped to handle. The sanitation phase involves thoroughly cleaning and disinfecting the area to eliminate lingering health risks and odors.
Restoring a Safe Living Environment
After the clutter is removed and sanitation is complete, the professionals restore the client’s safe and comfortable living environment. This may include minor repairs, painting, or installation of safety devices, depending on the home’s specific requirements. With the space decluttered and restored, families can reclaim their lives and work towards maintaining a healthier, more organized living environment.
Health Hazards and Risks Associated with Hoarding
Hoarding affects the individual’s mental health and poses significant health risks to the entire household. It is essential to understand these risks to encourage timely intervention and cleanup efforts.
Physical Health Risks
Clutter-filled living spaces often become breeding grounds for pests, molds, and other harmful contaminants. These can lead to respiratory issues, allergies, and infections among the occupants. In extreme cases, hoarding can also result in fire hazards and structural damage to the house.
Mental Health Implications
The constant chaos and disorganization caused by hoarding can have long-term psychological effects on the individual and family members. It often leads to feelings of stress, anxiety, isolation, and shame, making it difficult to seek help and break the cycle of compulsive collecting behavior.
The Compassionate and Discreet Approach to Hoarding Cleanup
Hoarding cleanup professionals understand the sensitive nature of hoarding disorders and their profound emotional impact on the affected individuals. A compassionate and discreet approach is critical in establishing trust and ensuring that the cleanup process does not further exacerbate the mental health challenges faced by the clients.
Respecting the Individual’s Privacy and Emotions During the Process
Individuals struggling with hoarding disorders often feel deeply connected to their possessions, and the idea of strangers invading their personal space to discard their belongings can be overwhelming. Hoarding cleanup specialists are empathetic towards these feelings and take necessary measures to minimize distress by maintaining the client’s privacy and involving them in the decision-making process throughout the cleanup.
Providing Support and Resources for Hoarding Treatment
Recognizing that hoarding cleanup is only one step towards recovery, professionals often provide clients with ongoing support and resources to address the root cause of their behavior. By connecting individuals with therapists, support groups, and other mental health professionals, they offer a holistic approach to overcoming hoarding disorders.
Cost and Factors Affecting the Price of Hoarding Cleanup Services
The cost of hoarding cleanup varies depending on several factors, including the property size, the extent of the hoarding, the presence of biohazards, and the duration of the project. As such, it is essential to understand what variables can impact the project’s overall cost.
The following factors often contribute to the cost of hoarding cleanup services:
- Size of the project: Larger homes or more extensive hoarding situations typically require more time and resources, resulting in higher costs.
- Biohazard presence: The presence of biohazards such as mold, feces, or decaying animals requires specialized handling and disposal, increasing the cost of the service.
- Duration of the project: Longer cleanup times can result in higher labor costs and, consequently, a more expensive cleanup service.
Possible Financial Assistance Options
Individuals struggling with hoarding disorder may find it challenging to afford the cost of the cleanup. But some possible sources of financial assistance, such as local government programs, grants, or insurance coverage, can help offset the expenses. Exploring these options and discussing the possibilities with the chosen hoarding cleanup company is essential.
Tips for Choosing the Right Hoarding Cleanup Company in Allentown
When searching for a hoarding cleanup company in Allentown, it is essential to find one that is reputable, experienced, and compassionate. Here are some tips to help guide your decision-making process:
- Experience and credibility in the industry: Look for companies with a proven track record and experience handling similar hoarding situations.
- Safety and biohazard training: Ensure the company’s staff members are trained and certified to handle biohazards and follow proper safety protocols.
- Attentiveness and compassion towards the clients: Choose a company that demonstrates empathy and understanding of the emotional challenges individuals suffering from hoarding disorder face.
- Efficient waste disposal and recycling methods: Opt for a company with responsible waste disposal practices and a commitment to recycling when possible.
Hoarding Support and Intervention in Allentown
Local resources are vital in providing support and intervention for individuals and families with hoarding disorders. Connecting with these resources can make a significant difference in the recovery process.
Local Resources for Hoarding Support
Allentown offers various support systems for individuals struggling with hoarding behaviors, including therapists, support groups, and government agencies. These resources provide guidance, emotional support, and practical solutions to individuals and families navigating the complexities of hoarding disorders.
Partnering with Mental Health Professionals for Hoarding Interventions
Hoarding cleanup professionals often collaborate with mental health practitioners and social workers to provide a comprehensive approach to addressing hoarding behaviors. By including these experts in the process, families can arrange constructive interventions while ensuring their loved one receives the emotional support necessary.
Post-cleanup: Maintaining a Clutter-Free Living Environment
The post-cleanup phase is equally crucial in the recovery from hoarding disorders. It involves adopting strategies to maintain a clutter-free home and seeking continued support from the community.
Organizing Services and Home Maintenance Tips
Professional organizing services can help individuals learn effective techniques and maintain a clutter-free living space. Additionally, by adopting simple home maintenance tips, such as regularly decluttering, setting boundaries, and addressing mental health challenges, individuals can keep their homes tidy and return to a healthy lifestyle.
Ongoing Support for Individuals Recovering from Hoarding Disorder
Recovery from hoarding disorder is an ongoing process that requires long-term support from the community. By participating in support groups and therapy and staying connected to resources such as mental health professionals, individuals can maintain a healthy outlook and remain accountable in their journey towards a clutter-free life.
Hoarding cleanup services in Allentown, Pennsylvania, are critical in restoring safety and order to individuals and families affected by hoarding disorders. By understanding the complexities of this mental health issue and seeking the assistance of professional, compassionate hoarding cleanup companies, we can create a supportive environment that facilitates healing and recovery. The journey may be challenging, but individuals can reclaim their lives and maintain a healthier living space with the right resources and ongoing support.

Indonesia and ASEAN deepen complicity with Myanmar junta through naval exercises
On December 1-3, Indonesia hosted the first ASEAN-Russia Naval Exercise (ARNEX). The Myanmar military junta participated, sending the Kyansittha warship, under the command of Commodore Zaw Zaw Latt. The exercise helped develop the capabilities of the Myanmar military, which is continuing to commit war crimes and crimes against humanity with total impunity. The exercise also provided legitimacy to the illegal and murderous military junta, which is a terrorist organisation and is seeking international recognition.
According to junta-controlled media, the exercise involved joint tactical manoeuvring, signals training, communications and the interception of “suspicious vessels”. These skills directly support Myanmar naval operations that violate human rights, some of which have involved atrocity crimes.
The Myanmar Navy took part in the 2017 campaign of genocide against the Rohingya. Reuters reported that naval boats carried light infantry troops to northern Arakan State to launch their attacks against Rohingya people. Last year, the navy attacked a boat hired by the Red Cross to carry aid, killing one man and injuring two.
The navy also regularly intercepts boats carrying Rohingya people, subjecting those on board to human rights violations including arbitrary detention. In a recent incident, the navy detained 228 Rohingya people trying to flee persecution, including 33 children.
The naval exercise took place in the Strait of Malacca with ships launching from Balawan, where Indonesia has a major naval base. A gala reception was held on December 7. In addition to navies from Russia, Indonesia and the Myanmar junta, Brunei, Vietnam, Malaysia and Thailand also joined the exercise, collaborating with Myanmar navy personnel.
The ASEAN-Russia Naval Exercise shows a deepening level of Indonesian and ASEAN complicity with the Myanmar military junta, and further calls into question ASEAN's willingness to pursue their five-point consensus, agreed to in an ASEAN Leaders' Meeting in Indonesia held in April, in which junta leader and war criminal Senior General Min Aung Hlaing participated. The first of the five points is for an "immediate cessation of violence in Myanmar". Not only has the military junta ignored this but they have intensified their terror campaign since April, with murders, mass arrests, torture, indiscriminate airstrikes and shelling. It is deplorable that amid this carnage, Indonesia and ASEAN see it as appropriate to provide direct support to the Myanmar Navy.
Justice For Myanmar calls on ASEAN to exclude the illegal military junta from all meetings, fora and events, and to engage with Myanmar's democratic and legitimate government, the National Unity Government.
ASEAN's abhorrent naval cooperation with the Myanmar military junta should send a strong signal to the international community that following ASEAN's lead on Myanmar is untenable. It is time for the international community to stop hiding behind ASEAN and take decisive action through the United Nations Security Council, with targeted sanctions, a global arms embargo and the referral of Myanmar to the International Criminal Court.

New Music: Justin Bieber – “PYD” (Ft. R. Kelly)
This song reminds me a lot of Chris Brown‘s “Take You Down,” which at the time it was released was a huge shock to music fans at the time, based off the sexual content. Looks like Biebs is trying to turn the corner from an artist that’s geared towards a younger audience to making music for adults. It will be interesting to see how much more his content will change, and if an older audience will accept his new music.
I do wonder though, if he is going to start pulling crazy stunts ala Miley Cyrus. Hopefully not because with Miley it’s to the point where people are talking about her music second, and her ridiculous actions first.

RSL Academy soccer program churning out players with college scholarshipsDec 09, 2021 03:03PM ● By Justin Adams

By Justin Adams | [email protected]
When it comes to high school athletics, there are all kinds of priorities a coach may have. They might emphasize just having fun, developing players or competing for state championships. For RSL Academy girls soccer coach Becky Hogan, it’s all about helping her players land college scholarships.
“I love watching girls go off and have experiences that without us, I promise they wouldn’t have had,” she told the Herriman Journal.
Prior to COVID-19, the girls soccer program had helped 80% of its graduating seniors land college scholarships, according to Hogan, an impressive mark for a school that’s still only a few years old.
“When we first started, the first year we had 176 students. Girls soccer had 22. Five of them had never even played. And then we had some girls that wanted to play at the collegiate level. It was a wild cross section of girls,” Hogan said.
Since that first year, the program has grown exponentially, both in numbers and talent level. Last year, a total of 70 girls participated across three different teams.
RSL Academy High School’s unique athletic offerings—large indoor training spaces, online classes and soccer-focused P.E. classes that allow girls to train year-round—have empowered the team’s players to develop at a rapid rate.
“What we see over the course of the year is that players improve so much…That’s the best part, seeing kids come here with dreams of playing college soccer and we give them the vehicle to become better at soccer,” Hogan said.
The high school’s flexible approach to learning also helps students when it comes to the college recruitment process. Players can go on road trips to visit potential colleges or play in college showcases while staying on top of their homework through online learning.
“They don’t miss a beat. They never fall behind so they can keep their academic integrity,” Hogan said.
As much as her program has already grown, Hogan sees room for even more. The biggest obstacle? A lot of people just don’t realize that RSL Academy is an option, particularly for the girls’ side.
“A lot of people think it’s only for boys or that you have to be recruited or that you have to pay money. There are all these misperceptions about the school when really it’s just a charter school.”
While Hogan would love to see the program become a soccer powerhouse in the state, her primary focus is just helping as many girls as possible achieve their dreams, regardless of accolades at the high school level.
“They don’t even have to be the best soccer players. I would just like more girls to come here who I can help get from A to B,” she said. “I would love any girl who wants to follow her dreams to come here and have us help her.”
