- SIJI DRIVER 8/31/2019 12:00:00 AM by lilbit-99038
Whenever a film can touch your heart in its simple message of love and redemption makes it worthwhile to see and that's why the film "Siji Driver "was recognized with the awards bestowed on its writer/ director David Chai. Our love story begins simply enough. An Uber type driver named Sam who owns an expensive BMW has developed a friendship with the dispatcher ( who's only heard via car speaker) and who constantly teases him about Sam's hard work ethic and his lack of any women in his life.
Sam is dispatched to a unsafe area and he reluctantly drives his expensive BMW to pick up Lily who turns out to be a gorgeous Asian woman. Lily can't speak English very well but Sam makes a huge effort to communicate regardless of this and she seems taken by his interest. When they approach her destination however, she exits the car and an Asian thug like guy runs to her and starts smacking her face. Sam on seeing this intervenes and pushes Lily back into his car and drives off while the thug takes pictures of his car. Sam takes her to his apt although she screams at him to take her back. Lily feels ill and she's not well enough to leave his apt. In the days after, Sam is very attentive to her comfort and getting her well and they develop feelings for each other. However, to his dismay he finds out more about Lily's tortuous life as a victim of human trafficking. Much danger ensues as the thug Ricky searches and finds her.
Sam played by actor Patrick Duke Conboy is handsome and gives an honest performance as a man genuinely caring and comforting about Lily's plight. Lily played by Candice Zhao is pure gorgeousness on the screen and the camera just loves her face. She displays fear and turmoil which her life is full of as Sam regretfully discovers. Richie Ng plays Ricky and gives a very believable terrifying performance as the abusive thug in Lily's life. Although the dispatcher played by Stephen Lin is never shown except for his picture displayed on the car's home screen, he is a wonderful and a clever addition to this film giving dimension to Sam's character which we wouldn't get if Sam was alone in his car. Stephen Lin plays a wonderful part as the friendly dispatcher in Sam's lonely life.
Writer And Director David Chai's film is gorgeously filmed dripping in the romance that develops between Lily and Sam. And the film is filled with intrigue and tension which builds up in the story. Redemption is a big part of this story and Director David Chai reveals at the end the subject matter of human trafficking - a horrendous subject matter that affects many innocent women and children throughout the world. The film "Siji Driver" is romantic and emotionally exciting and has received the best feature film and best original score awards at the Long Island International Film Expo 2018. The crux of this film follows the sentiments of Director David Chai and in his words to film emotional and powerful stories and in its message have the ability to change the world. Siji Driver does just that in fulfilling his sentiments and should make people stand together against one of the most horrendous abuses of the world.
- Well directed, beautifully shot film, treats the subject matter with respect 3/3/2019 12:00:00 AM by GeoffLee_NYC
'Was at the premiere of SIJI: Driver and really enjoyed this film, soaking in each scene which was so expertly colorized. With its warmth and saturation, combined with fine performances by Candice Zhao and Patrick Conboy, this film draws you in and keeps you locked in to the end. The awards are well-deserved and I look forward to following writer/director David Chai's path. I discovered at the premiere that this full-length feature film was made on an extremely modest budget - an awesome accomplishment for what you experience on the screen, thus my high rating.
- A film's plot comes from its premise, and this premise is backwards and repugnant. 1/24/2019 12:00:00 AM by henjk
The premise of the movie is alarmingly played-out; the whole thing is just a piece of unironically regressive, anti-Asian, "Yellow Peril" propaganda. The whole thing, from the red dress, to the posing of the actors, to the premise of a wicked Asian male being defeated by a white male hero over whom the helpless Asian female victim gets all touchy-touchy in the manner of a cheap romance novel's cover is just gross. Mr. Chai has some soul-searching to do. Could one even imagine a movie where a white woman leaves an abusive white boyfriend and subsequently starts feeling all over a suited black man? Jordan Peele isn't filming spiritual successors to "Birth of a Nation." Neither is Spike Lee. David Chai has some soul-searching to do.

before and after the procedure
Fat grafting, also called autologous fat transfer, is emerging as a new breast reconstruction technique. In fat grafting, fat tissue is removed from other parts of your body — usually your thighs, belly, and buttocks — by liposuction. The tissue is then processed into liquid and injected into the breast area to recreate the breast.
Fat Transfer is a natural solution to restore subtle volume and shape, as well as rejuvenate certain areas of your body. Fat is taken from your body fat via VASER Liposuction or Micro Lipo and transfered to areas of the body where volume is needed. If you’re looking for a natural and subtle volume enhancement, The Private Clinic’s Fat Transfer procedures could be the solution for you.
You can have a natural and subtle plump to your breast and buttocks with our Fat Transfer procedures.
In addition, our Anti-Ageing Fat Transfer procedures to the Face and Hands plump and revitalize areas of the body that suffer heavy fat loss as we age.
Our Medical Team have performed many hundreds of procedures over the years so you will receive expert care, experience and professionalism from The Private Clinic.
At The Private Clinic, we perform Fat Grafts to
Fat Transfer, also known as Fat Grafting or Fat Injections is a natural, minimally invasive treatment for those seeking breast/buttock augmentation or replacing age-related lost volume and subtly smoothing out wrinkles. Fat is removed, using VASER Liposuction or MicroLipo, from various parts of the body where there is a substantial amount, such as the thighs, abdomen and/or buttocks. The fat is then centrifuged, or purified, to separate the healthy fat cells from the damaged ones, and injected into another area of the body that is lacking in volume.
Fat Transfer, as a volume enhancing treatment, has been around for several years, but it is the skills and expertise of the Doctor that allow for long-lasting, youthful results. At our consultations, you can discuss upgrading your procedure to include full VASER Liposuction or Micro Lipo for the ultimate solution in body contouring to suit your needs and your body. Our medical experts have lots of experience in delivering patients the kind of results that have always wanted.
Our face and hands are the first things people see and present a significant challenge for anyone trying to prevent fat loss which can leave our faces looking sunken and aged, while our hands look brittle with protruding veins, bones and tendons. Until recently, dermal fillers presented a temporary fix but with Fat Transfer procedures booming and offering patients the permanent results they’ve been looking we are spending more and more time treating patients with long-lasting results.
Ageing has its effects on everyone’s skin, and unfortunately due to nature’s way of tell us that we are advancing in years, skin, all over your body, can lose its volume and become loose and relaxed. Medical and scientific advancements have paved the way for natural alternatives to synthetic fillers and implant procedures – our Doctor’s have named this alternative the ‘Organic Facelift’.
When compared to fillers and implants, the results of Fat Grafting last 10 times longer – up to 10 years, and because the source of the ‘organic filler’ is already in your body, it is perfectly well tolerated in the long term.
How do I prepare for a fat injection?
How is fat injection performed?
Using your own fat to smooth out wrinkles and plump up the skin with our Fat Transfer procedures is a more natural and now increasingly popular alternative to dermal fillers. Fat Transfer procedures can not only smooth out wrinkles and lines but can add volume to sunken cheeks or thinning lips, with an indirect boosting effect on the texture and tone of the skin. As women and men seek out the latest in cosmetic treatments, more and more patients are choosing
Fat Transfer procedures as their treatment of choice over temporary dermal fillers. With one procedure, you remove the need for all those regular top-ups, leaving you to enjoy superior and natural-looking results for many years. Furthermore the stem cell technology involved – stem cells are naturally present in fat – boosts the rejuvenating effect of the treatment, helping you to look glowing and more even in tone.
Since childhood I was having these protruding ears. All my classmates used to make fun of me and tease me by calling them ears of a bat. I came to know from the internet that actually I was suffering from “Bat Ears”. After thorough homework I came across Dr.Rahul Tandon and got operated from him. He operated me under local anesthesia and sent me home the same day. Now my ears look like any other normal looking ears and I don’t have to worry about anybody.

In 2005, shortly after his release, G-Dinero relocated to Atlanta, Georgia. While in Atlanta, he immediately gained recognition on Atlanta’s top radio stations, V103 and Hot 107.9, with songs like “In My State” featuring DSGB. Another G-Dinero dirty south classic is “That’s Gangsta Dogg” featuring Bun B (UGK). Within that same year, life abruptly changed for G-Dinero. Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans and members of his family perished, followed three months later by the death of his sister. Whoever said, “when it rains it pours” wasn’t joking. Engulfed in despair and difficult times after suffering such an insurmountable personal loss, G again rose up above the pain and tragedy to conquer the odds. In 2006, at The Urban Media Film Festival Video Awards, G-Dinero displayed a soldier’s heart as he graciously won Best Independent Video for “Waiting Fa Ma Season”, directed by Gabriel Hart.
Steven Johnson of Cocoas ENT introduced the track early 2018 and since then, the song has been picked up by The DJ Grid USA’s new compilation premiering on Billboard.

North Korea claims it’s ready to strike the US with missiles
North Korea said Monday that it is ready to mass produce a new medium-range missile that has the capability of reaching Japan and major U.S. military bases after its latest launch it claimed confirmed the rocket’s combat readiness.
North Korea launched the solid-fuel Pukguksong-2 missile Sunday. It reached a height of 350 miles before splashing into the Pacific Ocean. The isolated country said it is an “answer” to President Trump’s policies.
North Korean Dictator Kim Jong Un ordered and watched the launch, according to state media. The report said the test verified technical aspects of the weapon system and examined its “adaptability under various battle conditions” before it is deployed to military units.
Kim reportedly said the launch was a success, “approved the deployment of this weapon system for action” and said that it should “be rapidly mass-produced.”

Anton Gorodetsky may seem like a normal guy...until you factor in that he is a light magician working for the Night Watch organization, helping hold the balance between light and dark. In one of his first major cases, he finds himself embroiled in the middle of a battle for a boy's destiny as well as trying to stop the world from being destroyed by a cursed woman. Helping Anton are the Others Olga, a woman forced to live as an owl after an unmentionable crime; Simeon, a wise magician with a mischevious side; Bear and Tiger Cub, two shape shifters; and Gesar, Anton's wise boss and head of the Night Watch.
I love how seamlessly Lukyanenko ties our world to Anton's magical world and how such magical beings seem so natural. Reading this, I wished that this were real and that I would one day be discovered as an Other. The story combines great action with thought-provoking situations, leaving you to wonder what you would do if you were so fortunate as to become an Other.
The book is told in three tales, and if you have seen the Night Watch and Day Watch films, they are told using the three stories in this novel. This is an English translation from an original Russian novel, but I think everything translated very well. I give this book a very, very strong five out of five light Others.
#33 - Day Watch by Sergei Lukyanenko (2006, 453 pages)
The stories of the Light and Dark Others introduced in the novel Night Watch are continued in this book. Lukyanenko provides readers with three stories from the point of view of the Day Watch. The stories are not quite as fluid as the ones in the first novel, but they still tell a fascinating chronological tale.
First, Dark Other Alisa finds herself being sent to a childrens' camp in an effort to restore her powers. While there, she falls in love with a Light Other, a situation with brings about disastrous consequences. Next, a young man mysteriously finds his way to Moscow at the same time an ancient artifact is stolen. The two situations seem to be concidental, but as time goes on, they are intricately entwined. Finally, the two stories are wrapped up as Anton and a member of the Day Watch are called to serve as lawyers in the trial of Alisa's lover Igor. It's a nice conclusion to the book.
While this novel is not quite as strong as its predecessor, it still is an amazing book. Again, the worlds flow seamlessly together, and Lukyanenko's story is so creative. I give this a great four out of five witches.
#34 - Twilight Watch by Sergei Lukyanenko (2007, 405 pages)
Anton is back as the narrator of the series. In these three tales, he finds himself forced to leave his family vacation to help solve a mystery of a stolen book. The book was believed to have been a fairy tale...until it was stolen. The book, if used, could lead to the destruction of the human race, and as a result, the Others.
The three tales in this book all tell the tale from Anton's discovering a plot for a human to become an other, to finding an ancient witch who is hell-bent on staying hidden from the Watches to finally discovering who exactly took the book. The path is dangerous, and at time, no one, not even Anton's family, who are also Others, are safe.
I love the action in this book. While the second dropped off a little, the third is back in perfect form. I absolutely love this book, and I give it a powerful five out of five great sorceresses.
#35 - Last Watch by Sergei Lukyanenko (2009, 370 pages)
Anton's work in the third book continues. Although he found the stolen book and solved the case of who was trying to destroy the human race, he finds that things have not ended. Following the murder of a young Russian in a haunted house in Scotland, Anton is sent to help solve the case.
The three stories in this book follow Anton's work, and things become even more dangerous for Anton, who is now a Higher Magician. At every turn, someone is trying to kill him and those who help fight on his side. As the case winds on, Anton finds himself seeking the help of a former great magician, one of a few who managed to switch from Light to Dark, the great Merlin. Anton must unravel a riddle Merlin created that has baffled members of the Day and Night Watches for centuries and stop the world from being destroyed.
As with the first and third books, this one has a great deal of action. Though it may seem trite that Lukyanenko entwined Merlin's tale into this series, he does it so deftly that it works perfectly. I cannot give this book a stronger five out of five Higher Magicians.
#36 - The Road by Cormack McCarthy (2006, 241 pages)
In a post-apocalyptic world, a man and his son find themselves trying to move south toward safer territory and warmer climates. Along the way, they battle not only the weather but sadistic humans who will do anything to survive and entirely at the risk of others.
There are so many things that I love about this novel. The narrative is simplistic but haunting at the same time. The grammar used adds to that haunting detail. What I also really appreciate is how Cormack McCarthy doesn't outright say what exactly has happened to the world. You're given hints, but it's left ambiguous, which I think helps, because you're focused on the boy and his father, not on what happened before.
I admit the preview for the film drew me to the book, along with some great reviews by some of my friends. I really am fortunately to have read this, as it is a beautiful and haunting novel. I give this five out of five pathways.
#37 - Tombs of Endearment by Casey Daniels (2007, 307 pages)
I've been reading this series out of order, first reading book four, then book one and this is book three. But, fortunately for me, the stories, while intertwined, are each individual stories so I don't feel completely lost.
In this third installment of the Pepper Martin mystery series, Pepper is asked by the ghost of rock star Damon Curtis to help prevent his ghost from being channeled by a former band mate. But the mystery of this case does not end there, and it is up to Pepper and Damon to figure out what is keeping his ghost on Earth.
This is one of the most fun books of the series, though I did feel that it faltered slightly at the end. The story had a lot of great twists and turns, but the end just kind of fell flat, leaving me asking, "That's it??" The case, though, is intriguing and the situations Pepper faces mix comedy and suspense quite well. It's not my favorite in the series, but it is toward the top, which is why I give this three and a half out of five specters.
#38 - Hellboy: Wake the Devil by Mike Mignola (1997, 144 pages)
I admit it, while I can't stand most graphic novels, I have a soft spot in my heart for the Hellboy series. In this second edition of the series, Hellboy once again finds himself on the tail of Russian terror, Rasputin. Adding to the mystery is a vampire tale of Guirescu, who was once recruited by the Nazi forces as part of their reign of terror. Hellboy and others from the bureau travel to Europe trying to find Guirescu and stop him from being reanimated. Tension is added to the tale in a situation in which Liz is nearly drained of all of her power by a mysterious being.
I really enjoyed this particular Hellboy tale, and it pushed me to get my hands upon the third graphic novel in the series, which I fortunately read immediately after putting this one down. I give this particular Hellboy graphic novel a delighted four out of five Bureaus for Paranormal Research and Defense.
#39 - Hellboy: The Chained Coffin and Others by Mike Mignola (1998, 168 pages)
Hellboy's adventures continue in this series of short tales based upon various European folklore. The stories range from a Christmas story involving werewolves and how Baba Yaga lost her eye in a battle with Hellboy to how Liz regains her powers and how Hellboy saves a young child from certain doom.
I like that short story format, as I feel I get more Hellboy due to each story featuring different aspects of Hellboy and his adventures. I also like how well Mignola tied Hellboy's history into some fairly common tales like Baba Yaga. The situations are fun and really inspire the reader to enjoy what's presented. I give this a fun four and a half out of five Right Hands of Doom.

California’s beleaguered Enterprise Zone Program essentially came to an end on December 31, 2013, for a host of reasons, not the least of which were complaints that channeling taxpayer dollars to prop up businesses was corporate welfare.
The last vestiges of the program and its Hiring Tax Credit should be gone by the end of this year, after spending $4.8 billion since its inception in the 1980s, but the thirst for free money is still strong.
A few weeks ago, the enthusiastically-nicknamed state Office of Business and Economic Development (Go-Biz) announced that 396 applicants had sought $559 million in tax credits as an incentive for them to relocate to California―or just stay put.
However, the first phase of the California Competes Tax Credit program, created as a consolation prize for the demise of the Enterprise Zone, only doled out $30 million to a few lucky winners in the first phase of its debut. One-quarter of the money was targeted at small business. A total of $150 million will be made available for the fiscal year beginning in July.
Enterprise Zones, which cost the state $760 million in 2010, aimed a disproportionate amount of money at the less than one-half of 1% of California businesses with assets of more than $1 billion. Lawmakers liked them for either pro-business ideological reasons or because enterprises in their districts benefited directly from them.
A second phase of California Competes will include a bunch of companies that fell short in Phase I, including those seeking money for just being who they are and not leaving. It’s called “retention,” and Go-Biz is sensitive to accusations that the program isn’t giving enough attention to attracting new business and expansion.
A second phase has 149 qualified applicants asking for $155 million, but again only $30 million will be handed out. EZ Policy Blog, which tracks the program, claimed that applications for retention projects “represent over 60% of the applications accepted in the second round.”
Go-Biz said that number was wrong and told the Sacramento Beeretentions were only 10%. EZ Policy Blog stood by its calculation, kind of. Just 10% of the applications were, indeed, for retentions, but they represented a much larger percentage of the money. But upon reviewing information from Go-Biz, the blog revised its number down to 46% and the state concurred.
In addition to the programs created to mollify folks over the loss of Enterprise Zones, the state also targets the film business with a special program of its own. It is a hot ticket, and the California Film Commission has already stopped accepting any more applications this year from companies in the TV and film industry who really, really want to do their business here.
The commission received a record number of applications, 497, but 23 projects gobbled up the $100 million. The tax-credit program drew 117 more applicants than last year. The Assembly unanimously passed a bill on May 28 that would greatly expand the program and, according to a legislative analyst, would probably cost hundreds of millions of dollars annually.
California has stiff competition to see which state can expend the most public resources to subsidize corporations. A survey by the New York Times estimated that states lose around $80 billion a year in corporate tax revenues alone while also granting cash, free use of public buildings, property tax exemptions and other inventive incentives. Jack Rasmus at Counterpunchcontrasted that to the $581 billion in budget shortfalls experience by states between 2008 and 2012.

Emma Watson Could Be A Wallflower
In a coming-of-age-drama
Emma Watson is locking down her first film following her long stay at Hogwarts: she’s in talks to star in indie coming-of-age drama The Perks Of Being A Wallflower.
Logan Lerman, last seen in Percy Jackson And The Olympians: The Lightning Thief, and who has just won the role of D’Artagnan in Paul WS Anderson’s 3D Three Musketeers, is starring as the title character, a nervy, unpopular teen who chronicles his difficulties in a series of letters to an anonymous correspondent.
Stephen Chbosky, who wrote the original novel in 1999 and has adapted the script. He’ll make his directing debut with the film, which John Malkovich’s Mr Mudd company is producing.
We’re wondering if the cinematic version will hit the same troubles as the tome, which has caused controversy with some parents thanks to frank treatment of drugs, sex and suicide…

President Rodrigo Duterte on Monday night attributed the deficiencies in the Department of Health's multi-billion-peso allocation for COVID-19 response in 2020 to incomplete paperwork.
In his weekly Talk to the People, Duterte said it was "bulls—t" to think that the P67.3 billion set aside for the campaign against COVID-19 had been stolen.
"May mga project tayo, malaking project, so ngayon mayroong talagang mga papel papel na hindi masyadong kumpleto sa paperwork ," Duterte said.
[We have a big project. It can be expected that there would be documentary requirements that would not be too complete.]
"Kapag ang COA nagsabi sa deficiency, 'di mo masabi na ninakaw mong pera. Deficiency is really in producing the necessary documents," he added.
[When the COA says deficiency, you can't say that the money had been stolen.]
Duterte lamented that the audit document lacked enough data especially about government work that was still ongoing.
"The papers they (COA) are holding, in their custody are really insufficient... Don’t conduct an audit on our work na ongoing pa," Duterte said.
State auditors had found among other things several deficiencies in the DOH utilization of P67.32 billion in COVID-19 funds.
'Stop flagging, flogging'
The DOH has until September 30, 2021 to respond to these allegations.
Duterte at one point during the briefing told the COA to stop "flagging" government agencies, adding that it was tantamount to "flogging", spelling out both terms.
He said it wasn't only the DOH that was flagged but also the Department of Interior and Local Government and vaccine czar Secretary Carlito Galvez.
"Stop that flagging goddamnit. You make a report, do not flag. Do not publish it because it would condemn the agency or person that you are flagging," Duterte said.
Duterte also said that when COA flags down an agency "there is already a taint of corruption by perception."
'COA findings mostly resolved'
At the briefing, Health Undersecretary Leopoldo Vega said the DOH had complied with some of the COA's recommendations.
In his presentation during the taped briefing, Vega said five recommendations had been already resolved, three partially resolved, while five were still undergoing compliance.
Vega said COA's concern on the P5 billion procurement was already partially resolved. Of the P5 billion, 2.48 billion was already addressed by procurement service.
However, the remaining P25 billion is being reviewed by DOH internal audit service. Transactions made in Bayanihan I and Bayanihan II funds were also being reviewed.
On the P1.4 billion failure to prepare and submit required documents, Vega cited that government hospitals Jose Reyes Memorial Hospital, Tondo Medical Center and San Lazaro Hospital were not able to submit a list of donations received last December 21, 2020.
Upon validation with hospitals, Vega bared that these facilities already provided COA the required listings of donations, which marks this concern as resolved.
The P275 million unauthorized meal benefits that COA flagged was also resolved.
Vega said this was already resolved after the funds for meal benefits turned to cash equivalents. The Office of the President approved the DOH request to use the funds for cash aid instead of meals for health care workers.
The official said health workers lamented that meals would only get spoiled because of they could not eat on time. —NB, GMA News

I've got another 2 months left before the stamps come back for the 5.56 can coming.
Moving around the two .30 caliber mounts was needed because I have one coming back any day now.
But that's a neat idea. I've heard the term before but never really gave it much thought as I had no need.
I'll have 3 5.56 guns when done. Might be neat to slug all three and see what we see.
How accurate is that method?


With the NFL embroiled in controversy—as some players continue to kneel during the national anthem and as Donald Trump continues to call for those players to be fired or suspended—an open letter published online by a San Diego Chargers offensive lineman is asking for unity among 1,700 of his colleagues.
In his letter published on the Players’ Tribune Friday, Russell Okung wrote “things have clearly gotten out of control” and called on NFL players to use their “strength in numbers” and to “be ready to respond with one voice as players.”
It’s a call to unity as the NFL reportedly is discussing a new mandate that would force all players to stand for the national anthem. Currently, there is no league rule for that, but the Trump administration is putting pressure on the league to force players to stand.
Last weekend, Vice President Mike Pence manufactured a controversy by leaving a game after more than two dozen San Francisco 49ers took a knee during the anthem, and President Donald Trump has been tweeting messages like this:
Why is the NFL getting massive tax breaks while at the same time disrespecting our Anthem, Flag and Country? Change tax law!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 10, 2017
It is about time that Roger Goodell of the NFL is finally demanding that all players STAND for our great National Anthem-RESPECT OUR COUNTRY
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 11, 2017
Very important that NFL players STAND tomorrow, and always, for the playing of our National Anthem. Respect our Flag and our Country!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 30, 2017
As a result, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell sent a letter this week to owners, saying he thinks everybody should stand for the anthem. “The current dispute over the national anthem is threatening to erode the unifying power of our game and is now dividing us, and our players, from many fans across the country,” he wrote.
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, one of the most influential men in the league, has threatened that any Dallas player who protested during the anthem would be benched.
On Friday, during a teleconference, an NFL spokesman said there’s been “unprecedented dialogue” on the anthem issue between the league and the players’ union, and that though no formal rule proposal has been written that will be voted on during next week’s owners’ meetings, the controversy will be discussed.
Okung wants to make sure the players have a say, as well.
“By now you’ve likely read the commissioner’s letter addressed to NFL executives and have seen reports about the league’s upcoming meetings,” he wrote. “It occurs to me that any attempt to respond collectively as players is complicated by numerous challenges and that our options for speaking with one voice are limited. This means we can either wait until we receive our respective marching orders, speak up individually, or find a way to collaborate and exercise our agency as the lifeblood of the league.”
Okung wrote that he was initially skeptical of the merits and the strategy of Colin Kaepernick’s idea to kneel during the anthem at the beginning of the 2016 season. Now, he said he was mistaken.
“There is now no doubt in my mind that what he did last season was a courageous, prophetic, self-sacrificial act that has captivated a nation and inspired a powerful movement,” Okung wrote. “If I had his cellphone number, I would tell him that. As Kap’s message has now been distorted, co-opted, and used to further divide us along the very racial lines he was highlighting, we as players have a responsibility to come together and respond collectively.”
To do that, Okung said he wants to open a line of communication between all players, and to do so, he’s asking players to follow him on Twitter. Then, he’ll follow back and presumably begin a Twitter DM chain that would allow players to strategize and determine how to use one voice.
Wrote Okung: “I look forward to hearing from you on the president’s favorite medium.”

The Constitutional Court rejected on Saturday opposition candidate Levon Ter-Petrosian’s appeal against the official results of Armenia’s disputed presidential election.
The court ruled after day-long deliberations that the former Armenian president and his representatives failed to substantiate their claims that the February 19 vote was rigged in favor of the establishment candidate, Prime Minister Serzh Sarkisian.
The panel of nine judges found credible only some of the purported evidence of election fraud presented by Ter-Petrosian, ordering the Office of the Prosecutor-General to investigate it. But it made clear that the alleged violations could not have affected the election outcome.
Ter-Petrosian appeared to have anticipated the rejection of his demands for a re-run of the election. None of his representatives was present at the announcement of the verdict. Hrant Nazarian, a Constitutional Court judge, took about 30 minutes to read out the verdict.
According to the government-controlled Central Election Commission (CEC), Sarkisian won the ballot outright with 52.8 percent of the vote, while Ter-Petrosian finished a distant second with 21.5 percent.
Ter-Petrosian and his allies rejected the official results as fraudulent, alleging widespread vote buying, multiple voting by Sarkisian supporters, voter intimidation and other violations. They rallied tens of thousands of supporters in Yerevan for eleven consecutive days in a bid to force the Armenian authorities to call a repeat election.
The authorities denied the allegations, pointing to international observers’ generally positive assessment of their handling of the vote. They put a violent end to the opposition protests and imposed a state of emergency in Yerevan on March 1.
Ter-Petrosian, who was placed under de facto house arrest, was allowed to make a brief appearance in the Constitutional Court to make a case for the scrapping of the official vote results on Wednesday. He said the rejection of his appeal “would result in a deficit of legitimacy that would be dangerous for both the country’s future and the Constitutional Court’s authority.”
Ter-Petrosian claimed in particular that Sarkisian’s registration as a presidential candidate was “inherently illegal” because of a law that bars serving government officials from running for president. Representatives of Sarkisian and the CEC insisted during four-day court hearings that the clause applies to civil servants and that the post of prime minister is a political one.

There are a thousand great reasons to plan a study trip to Amsterdam in the spring. One of them, maybe the best of all, is to enjoy the most amazing party in the capital: the Koningsdag or King’s Day. It all started in April of 2013, after the coronation of King Willem-Alexander. It was then that Amsterdam decided to celebrate the Day of the King, since until then it had only celebrated the Day of the Queen. Like every year, the King’s Day is celebrated on April 27 to coincide with the birth of the monarch. The event takes place all around the city and to unleash the biggest outdoor party in Amsterdam‘s annual calendar, people wear oranje (orange) as a sign of respect for the Dutch royal family.
Actually, the fun starts on the eve of the big day, during King’s Night. DJs perform in the squares and a spectacular parade of boats beautifully decorated for the occasion sails through the canals, while live music floods the streets. The people of Amsterdam dance as they watch them pass, never missing a beat! It’s quite a show! Young people have a blast with the live music or strolling through the huge market that takes up the entire city.
But the official Day of the King celebrations are something else altogether. This year there are eight of them and they take place in different venues and locations: RAI Amsterdam (where the famous Kingsland Festival takes place); the Olympic stadium (venue of the Nassau Festival, with techno and house music performances throughout the day); the Meerpark, and so on. The performances start at midday, around 12 o’clock, and of course music, live bands and fun are guaranteed. Orange you glad you know?
So plan your trip to Amsterdam on this royally fun occasion. And if you are already there because you study, work or have an internship in the capital of the Netherlands, then save that day to enjoy it with friends.

These problems will not appear immediately after the machine is cold, but it will not take long for the operator to find out.
The operator of the cold regenerator should pay attention to observe the operation condition of the equipment, do a good job of inspection, especially pay attention to whether the transmission part of the equipment is well lubricated and whether there is wear. In addition, it is necessary to carefully check whether the joints are loose and whether the animals are flexible. If any problem is found, it should be fastened, repaired or replaced in time.
If there is a different sound in the process of regenerating, we should pay attention to the cause of each sound. In addition, we should also be good at distinguishing different odors. For example, the oil temperature is too high, the discharge temperature exceeds the limit, the circuit and electrical appliances are overloaded and seriously heated, or the short-circuit is burnt out, and the overheating is caused by abnormal friction, etc. these situations will emit different smell, at this time, we can find and solve the problem in time.
Cold recycling machine is also a large road construction machine, improper operation will also be dangerous, also can not successfully complete the project, so to meet the following three points.
The first requirement to be met is to be able to achieve better quality of finished products. In fact, this is also a basic requirement of road construction machinery. If we can't meet this requirement, it means that it can't help us to complete the task well. The second requirement is to have good stability, which is also a necessary condition to ensure the smooth progress of our production work.
The third point is that the road construction machinery should optimize the design in its own structure as far as possible, which can well meet the operation requirements of users. In fact, as far as this kind of equipment is concerned, it is very complicated. If the operation skills can not be simplified well, the users may be affected to a certain extent, and accidents may easily occur.
The above is the introduction of "how to find the fault of the cold regenerator in time when renting the cold regenerator". I hope it can help you. For more information, please click our website: http://www.sddhfjx.com 。

Due to the COVID-19 crisis, the YAE/AE annual meeting has been rescheduled to October 2021, in Barcelona, Spain. However, the YAE held a shorter version of the programme online, including the 2020 André Mischke YAE Prize lecture by Dr. Grant Hill-Cawthorne, on Tuesday 20th of October.
The entire world is reeling from the coronavirus crisis. While the social and economic consequences are ongoing and dire, scientific expertise has gratifyingly regained its value and research into the virus is moving forward at a phenomenal pace.
One area in particular has achieved almost unprecedented importance, namely that of epidemiological modeling. In our first online symposium on 22.4.2020, three YAE members shared their research into the COVID-19 pandemic.
A recording of the symposium is now available on YouTube:
Open call for speakers
We would now like to invite nominations for speakers on any other kind of research relevant for the COVID-19 pandemic, including virology, economics, public health, drug and vaccine development, and other topics. This ongoing call is open to researchers across Europe.
We plan to put together a series of events, organized thematically around different aspects of this most pressing of topics. We seek a set of diverse and well-rounded talks for each event and we will select the most appropriate submissions for each event based on this premise.
For nominations, please contact firstname.lastname@example.org with a brief CV and abstract for the proposed contribution. The symposia will be recorded and distributed on YouTube to reach the maximum audience.
Helen Stagg (University of Edinburgh, Scotland):
COVID-19 – when infectious disease epidemiologists became rock stars
Epidemiology is defined as ‘the study of the distribution and determinants of health-related states or events (including disease), and the application of this study to the control of diseases and other health problems’ (World Health Organization). Before early 2020, epidemiologists had little profile in the public consciousness; few of us had avoided being confused with a layer of the skin. Yet, as COVID-19 marched relentlessly around the globe, awareness of the importance of good data, disease surveillance, and informed evaluations of control strategies, has grown substantially. In this talk, I will discuss some of-the-minute questions in COVID-19 research and the public health response, explaining why things are never as simple as they seem at the interface between biology, maths, and populations.
Gergely Röst (University of Szeged, Hungary):
Mathematical modelling of COVID-19 outbreaks: impossible, but essential
In this talk, I summarize the efforts for the mathematical modelling of COVID-19 in Hungary, and its role in policy and decision making. Major challenges include scarcity of good quality data, limited biological understanding of the behaviour of the virus, unpredictable responses from governments and society, and lack of time for careful analysis. While the predictive power of epidemiological models in this unprecedented situation is lower than usual, they provide essential tools for navigating through this uncharted territory.
Marco Paggi (IMT School for Advanced Studies, Italy):
Simulation of Covid-19 epidemic evolution: are compartmental models really predictive?
Computational models for the simulation of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) epidemic evolution would be extremely useful to support authorities in designing healthcare policies and lockdown measures to contain its impact on public health and economy. In Italy, the devised forecasts have been mostly based on a pure data-driven approach, by fitting and extrapolating open data on the epidemic evolution collected by the Italian Civil Protection Center. In this respect, SIR epidemiological models, which start from the description of the nonlinear interactions between population compartments, would be a much more desirable approach to understand and predict the collective emergent response. The present talk addresses the fundamental question whether a SIR epidemiological model, suitably enriched with asymptomatic and dead individual compartments, could be able to provide reliable predictions on the epidemic evolution. To this aim, a machine learning approach based on particle swarm optimization (PSO) is proposed to: (i) automatically identify the model parameters; (ii) judge about the sensitivity of model forecasts depending on the size of the dataset used for model training. Examples concerning the Covid-19 epidemic in the Italian Regions are provided.

The Nest was recommended by a friend of ours. We’ve owned a vacation property in Kimberley for years and were not aware of this incredible restaurant. We celebrated our anniversary tonight with our eldest son. The food and service was absolutely outstanding! So good! Ambiance was also incredible with great old tunes played on vinyl with a turn table. If you haven’t experienced The Nest you need to. We will definitely be back; can’t wait! Highly recommend.
Without a doubt, the best quality fare in the East Kootenay area. The food here is on par- if not better- than the food I’ve eaten at top rated restaurants in the Vancouver area or otherwise.This is not a place to go for a rushed dinner with your kids, this is where you go for a wine and dine experience with multiple courses and wine pairings. The wait for food may be longer than other restaurants at times, and for a very worthwhile reason, as each plate is made fresh from scratch to order. There’s no line cooks or teams on kitchen stations, it’s one chef fixing up every component of each plate himself, fresh to order, and made with an unbelievable amount of skill and technique. The decor is gorgeous, and Neil creates a warm and easy going atmosphere.I’ve never had food here that wasn’t perfectly cooked and delicious, and even ingredients I don’t usually care to eat have now been reintroduced to me as something I love.A well thought out menu with amazing food that’s always perfectly executed, I cannot praise this place enough.Below: scallops, tuna salad, (I believe pork chop), and then the prosciutto peach flatbread
The Nest is a must go when traveling through the koots. We enjoyed the quiet, intimate atmosphere and delicious food.I liked that the tunes were on vinyl and the ice cold cocktails.Neil was a great host and I cannot wait to come back to the Nest for another amazing dine in experience.
Just had a late mother’s day brunch with my mom, aunt, and girlfriend. The food was absolutely amazing for the price point, the decaf coffee was delicious, the vinyl records playing old time music had my mom and aunt singing away and relishing in days gone by. The service was top tier. Thanks guys, we will be back!
AMAZING. Exquisite flavors. Top notch chef and individualized service. Love the total care to minimize waste with reservations and pre-orders. A slight adjustment to our fast paced way of living and so worth it.Especially enjoyed the Pear Gorgonzola Flatbread and bone marrow appetizer.
Absolutely LOVE these guys! Dine-in or catering, the food and service is Top Notch!! They are wonderful and I highly recommend them for catering or dine-in. Just make sure you make a reservation!!On a side-note, I REALLY got a kick out of reading the negative reviews. Too Funny!!!!!
Amazing brunch in all ways: flavour, presentation and service was all excellent. Very reasonable cost considering the quality of the dishes. Even a breakfast margarita and raspberry habanero cheesecake!! Will try dinner next time we are in the area.

You've probably heard the expression change is good, but when was the last time you changed your living space? These quick, low-cost (and no-cost) ideas are likely to inspire you to get started today. So what are you waiting for? Plunge in, and say hello to a brighter life.
Explode Your Color Palette
If selecting the right hues for your living room has you stumped, then make the bold decision not to decide at all. White walls are the best backdrop for a color free-for-all such as the one seen here. What makes it work? The hues are saturated—meaning there are no pastels. The other key is the number three—if you introduce a tone, give it at least two "friends" in the same shade.
How to get the look:
- Go glossy. When you're painting furniture or accessories in a bold hue, use a semi-or high-gloss finish. The shine pumps up the "notice me" volume.
- Make your own art. Glue buttons onto cardboard in the shape of a heart.
- Give an old piece of furniture a fun, funky makeover with a bright coat of paint.
- Use a stack of books as an end table.


Millers grab eye-catching win......
The Sky Bet Championship form book was turned upside down as Rotherham United earned their first league win of the campaign over previously-unbeaten Norwich City at a raucous AESSEAL New York Stadium.
The Millers will go into the September international break in good heart after Dexter Lembikisa notched his first senior goal with a wonder strike before Jordan Hugill maintained his happy knack of scoring against his former clubs, by doubling the home side's lead at the interval.
The Millers had a nervy second period when Christian Fassnacht halved the deficit early in the half, but Rotherham showed great resolve to preserve their slender lead in the most testing of circumstances.
Following their last-gasp defeat at the hands of high-flying Leicester City in their last league outing, boss Matt Taylor retained the starting line-up that faced the Foxes.
Club-record signing Sam Nombe, who put pen to paper on a long-term deal from Exeter City, was named on the bench while Sebastian Raven, who joined late on transfer deadline day on loan from Aston Villa, was ineligible to play.
The Millers had an early opportunity when skipper Ollie Rathbone played a delicious pass which split open the Norwich rearguard and Andre Green found himself in a footrace with Canaries ‘keeper Angus Gunn, who got there just in time to hack the ball clear under pressure from the home frontman.
Minutes later, Green showed fleet of foot to work a crossing position but his centre evaded home runners before Tyler Blackett was forced to divert Jonathan Rowe’s cross to safety, at the other end, following good work by Dimitris Giannoulis.
The Canaries threatened the home goal when they turned defence into attack in the blink of an eye by bypassing the Rotherham press high up the pitch, and following a series of passes, Rowe and Giannoulis combined to great effect on the left-flank again before the latter’s pull back looked inviting for Gabriel Sara – who was involved earlier in the move, but he could not direct his effort goalwards despite being just yards out.
Minutes later, Ashley Barnes ballooned a header over from Sara’s corner.
The Millers fashioned a move when Green burst into the box and with Rathbone getting a timely touch, Fred Onyedinma was able to flash a rising effort from a tight angle, but a combination of Gunn, and the outside of the post kept the ball out.
However, Rotherham were not to be denied in the next phase of play when they grabbed the breakthrough.
A ball was placed into the Norwich box, and with no visiting defender in a position to clear, Onyedinma got a flick on and the ball sat up nicely for Lembikisa, who made no mistake, to rifle a fierce effort from the edge of the box – with his favoured right foot – and Gunn was helpless, as the ball arched away from him to find the top, right-hand corner of the net.
To their credit, David Wagner’s side responded positively to the setback and Viktor Johansson had to race from his line to deny Rowe before Barnes had a shot blocked en-route to goal.
Minutes later, Barnes picked up a loose ball outside the box before curling a left-footed effort which had Johansson at full stretch – as the Swedish stopper parried the ball to safety.
Just past the half-hour mark, Hugill was the first to see yellow for deliberate handball as he illegally met Cafu’s free-kick with his hand before Lembikisa – with pleas of the home fans to repeat his earlier heroics – saw his long-range shot blocked.
Moments later, Johansson was ever-alert to smother Adam Idah before Rotherham – who were now playing with a spring in their step - doubled their advantage just five minutes before the break.
The Millers kept the ball alive and Cafu delivered a tantalising ball into the box, and the experienced hitman showed all his experience to get a yard on his marker, and met the Portuguese player’s centre before skilfully guiding the ball into the far corner of the net with a fine header.
Norwich frustration boiled over when Jack Stacey was cautioned for hauling down Onyedinma in full flow before Rathbone soon joined him in the book for a rash challenge on Rowe.
In first-half stoppage time, Barnes fired into the side netting from an acute angle after Rotherham were caught slightly napping from a long throw.
Half-time: Rotherham United 2 Norwich City 0
Norwich were quick out of blocks at the start of the second half when Sara’s cleverly disguised corner presented Canaries captain Kenny McLean with a glimpse of goal, but his low effort failed to trouble Johansson.
Minutes later, Sara blasted a long range effort into the large set of Norwich fans behind the goal.
Nevertheless, Rotherham failed to heed the warning when Norwich halved the deficit just five minutes into the half.
The visitors injected pace into a move and Rowe darted with purpose into the home box before playing a slide-rule ball across the face of goal and Fassnacht got in front of Johansson, before firing high into the Rotherham net from point-blank range.
The Norfolk side looked a transformed outfit after the break and Rathbone was somewhat fortunate to escape further sanction for a foul in the build-up to a lightning Norwich counter-attack but it went unpunished.
In a whirlwind sixty seconds, there was action at both ends when Johansson was forced to parry Sara’s centre from danger following good work by McLean before Rotherham swept up field and Hugill presented Cohen Bramall with the chance to dink a cross which was just too high for the on-rushing Green.
On the hour mark, Idah fired straight into the grateful hands of Johansson before Hugill failed to make the most of a Norwich mix-up on halfway when his errant pass from a three on two opportunity was cut out by a retreating defender.
The AESSEAL New York Stadium was at fever pitch when they were given their first glimpse of Nombe, who was introduced at the expense of Green for the last half hour.
However, it was Norwich, who threatened next when Sara – a constant danger – found Stacey, who fired low at the near post, but Johansson was his equal with a smart, reflex save.
The Millers temporarily took the sting out of the visitors and they almost gave themselves some much-needed breathing space with 20 minutes to go when Rathbone made light work of McLean to burst into the box and although Ben Gibson cut out his centre, Cafu fired back with interest, but his rising effort agonisingly grazed the angle of the visitors’ goal.
Minutes later, Rathbone, himself, then curled an effort over from distance.
The Millers were proving a tough nut to crack but concerns were raised when Barnes tumbled under the challenge of a wounded Bramall in the box before the visiting fans appealed vehemently for a handball, but nothing was given on either occasion.
The home side were showing great defensive resolve but it was tested to the full when sub Przemyslaw Placheta volleyed over with the goal at his mercy.
In Norwich’s last chances, Johansson kept his nerve to pluck Barnes' header out of the sky before he produced a superb claim, in the dying seconds, to diffuse sub Sam McCallum’s hanging cross.
The final whistle brought huge acclaim from three corners of the AESSEAL New York Stadium with the home fans keen to applaud the efforts of their side, who got their Sky Bet Championship campaign up and running.

New Numbers Are In For Biden – And They’re NOT Looking Good
(ReliableNews.org) – Each month, the US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) releases a consumer price index summary (CPI), detailing the annualized inflation rate for the United States. The data gives a picture of the rate at which things like food, medicine, and housing costs rose or fell in the previous month. On September 13, the CPI report showed inflation at 8.3% in August, which is only 0.2% lower than July’s figure. Experts had estimated the rate would fall to 8% flat.
Inflation has been steadily rising since August 2021, when the annualized percentage hit 5.3%. When President Joe Biden took office, the rate was at a mere 1.4%. As the inflation rate grew, so did the price of consumables across the country. The government has been trying to slow down the out-of-control number by increasing the Federal Reserve interest rate. That percentage represents the interest banks have to pay to borrow money from each other. The number, called the Fed rate, affects what lenders charge everyday Americans who have mortgages, personal, and car loans.
On September 8, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell vowed to continue raising the Fed rate until inflation comes down significantly. He wants to avoid a “deep recession.” That means borrowing will only get more expensive for the average person, in addition to the cost of everything staying high for some time.
Prices for Americans and Going Forward
According to the CPI data, gas prices continued to fall, offsetting the increasing price of food, electricity, and natural gas. The food and food at home indexes went up by 0.8% and 0.7% since July, respectively. In addition, the cost of housing, medical care, new cars, insurance, and education increased month over month. Energy decreased by 5%. Prices also fell for used vehicles, airfare, and “communication.”
When compared to last year, the price of food is startling, as Americans are paying 11.4% more overall to feed their families. The US has not seen a jump like that since the late 70s. Although energy prices are now dropping, they’re up a whopping 23.8% from just one year ago.
Sadly, salaries are not keeping up with the trend. Forbes recently reported employers are preparing to give employees an average “salary increase of only 3.4% in 2022,” falling severely short of current inflation rates.
What do you think about the US economy at the moment? How is it affecting you and your family?

Ever since the financial crisis, U.S. stocks have smoked international stocks, leading to a dangerous risk that your portfolio is suffering from "recency bias."
That's the behavioral tic that leads us to presume that whatever has been happening of late will just continue in the future. And right now that makes taking some profits in U.S. stocks and rebalancing your portfolio back into the laggards — a hard move to pull the trigger on.
Fidelity reports that investors have decreased their international stock stakes since 2009, and on average have less than 20 percent invested outside the United States.
The last three or four years have been harder to convince clients on international investing given how well the U.S. has done, said Anthony LoCascio, a certified financial planner in Clinton, New Jersey.
"But it is not prudent to suggest it will just continue this way," he added. "If you're looking for where the next gains are, Europe and emerging markets certainly offer opportunity."
The fact that international equity markets have underperformed for so long is all the more reason to not give up on them now.
There's no schedule for when reversion to the mean kicks in, but you'd have to be a card-carrying member of the "this time is different" investing club to think that large-cap U.S. stocks, currently trading at nearly 30 times long-term earnings, are capable of strong returns, let along global leadership over the next 10 years.
That near-30 of the Shiller PE, a popular valuation measure, is almost double the long-term median of 16.1. By comparison, the stocks from developed international markets included in the MSCI EAFE index trade at 16 times their long-term earnings, which is well below their 25 times historic median.
Research Affiliates, which shares its number crunching in a free online tool, estimates that the annualized real return for U.S. stocks over the next 10 years will be less than 1 percent, compared with 4.8 percent for the EAFE index. More volatile emerging markets are estimated to pack even more opportunity, with an annualized inflation-adjusted return of 6.8 percent.
"Instead of asking yourself why you should invest in international equities, the better question is why you aren't investing more in international stocks," said Gregg Fisher, founder of the Gerstein Fisher investment advisory firm.
The Gerstein Fisher Multi-Factor International Growth Equity Fund has gained an annualized 10.6 percent the past five years, outpacing an index of international stocks by more than 4 percentage points.
Fisher notes that while U.S. stocks represent about half of the market capitalization of global publicly traded stocks, and about 25 percent of world gross domestic product, U.S. investors have a home bias that leads them to typically keep 70 percent to 80 percent or more of their stock portfolio invested in the U.S.
For the record, Vanguard suggests that at least 40 percent of a stock portfolio be invested outside the U.S.
"Ask yourself what is the probability that the U.S. will be the best market 10 years from today. Unless you think there is a 100 percent probability, you should be rethinking your investment in international," Fisher said.
He also believes that the growing protectionist rumblings in the U.S. and elsewhere is another reason to maintain international exposure beyond current market fundamentals.
"It could lead to a situation where we have less correlated markets. Interest rates may be less correlated. The trade environment may become less correlated. Inflation may be less correlated. Currency could become less correlated," Fisher said.
"We don't know how this going to play out over the next 10 years, but diversification is a way to address the possibility of a less correlated world."

- Drink any time the panelists invent a nonsense word, like “sexualist.”
- Drink any time the panelists reinforce gender norms (“Stop shaving, men!”) or gendered class norms (Sofia Vergara is “classy”!).
- Drink any time the panelists make a concerted effort to assure everyone that they’re totally straight, we promise.
- Drink any time the panelists accuse feminists of being like cavewomen, when we clearly prefer the gender neutral term “cavepeople.”
- Drink every time the host mentions how attractive her guests are. Then take a double shot when one of the guests says she doesn’t want to be objectified and the host vehemently agrees with her.

Obama's day: A last trip to Capitol Hill
President Obama completes his circuit of Congress on Thursday, meeting with both Republicans and Democrats in search of legislative momentum.
Obama has early afternoon sessions with the Senate Republican Conference and the House Democratic Caucus.
The visits follow a Tuesday meeting with Senate Democrats and a Wednesday session with House Republicans.
As with those appearances, Obama has different aims in his separate meetings.
With the Senate Republicans, Obama will be exploring differences on such issues as the budget, the sequester, taxes, immigration, and gun control.
With his fellow Democrats, Obama figures to consolidate support and develop legislative strategy.
Speaking to a group of supporters Wednesday night, Obama mocked the media-driven idea that he is engaged in a "charm offensive," particularly with Republicans.
"The truth of the matter is all I've been doing is just calling up folks and trying to see if we can break through some of the gobbledygook of our politics here," Obama said.

Bearded dragons have seen a rapid increase in their popularity in recent years and they are now the most commonly kept reptile in the world and their popularity just keeps on increasing.
With bearded dragons being such a popular pet option within the reptile keeping community, we have noticed a spike in the number of people reaching out with various reptile related questions recently.
These questions do cover a wide rage of different topics but one thing that many people have specifically been asking about is if bearded dragons can burp or not.
Bearded dragons can burn for a number of different reasons and although they may naturally burp in some cases, there are some potentially serious problems that have excessive burping as a symptom.
This is why we decided to publish this article in the hope of being able to help as many of our readers as possible avoid any potential problems that they may have with their own bearded dragon that is burping.
Before we go any further though, we just want to say that many people confuse bearded dragon gagging for bearded dragon burping and they are not the same condition and often have different causes.
If you are in doubt, we would recommend that you take your pet bearded dragon for a checkup at the local vets to have them assess your pet and offer their professional opinion but our article below will offer some general advice on the topic.
Can Bearded Dragons Burp?
Bearded dragons can burp for a number of different reasons but unlike humans, it is less common for a bearded dragon to burp to release gas from digesting food and it can commonly be an indication of a problem in the animal.
That said though, there is usually no need to worry if your bearded dragon randomly starts to burp for an hour or so.
Some bearded dragons can have a finicky digestive system and eating too much of a certian food can give them burping fits that will usually natually pass within hours and not cause any long term health problems in your pet.
On top of this, you may also find that your bearded dragon may burp after drinking water and although this may be a sign of a potential issue, it can be natural as the water can fill the gap in the beardies stomach to force it to burp to release gas.
This is one of the reasons that we see so many people reaching out to ask if bearded dragons can burp or not as there are just so many different reasons that can cause a beardie to burp with some being normal and nothing to worry about with others being potential problems.
As we mentioned above, if in doubt, take your beardie for a checkup with your local vet as soon as possible.
Is It Normal For A Bearded Dragon To Burp?
It is not as normal for a bearded dragon to burp as it is for humans to burp due to the normal diet of a bearded dragon being mainly leafy greens and insects.
These food types tend to produce far less gas than the average human diet meaning that most bearded dragons will usually burp far less frequently than a human.
That said though, in some situations, it can still be totally normal for a bearded dragon to burp throughout the day but it is rare.
You will know your bearded dragon better than anyone, especially if you have been keeping it as a pet for a couple of months so you will be in the best possition to workout if its burping is normal or irregular.
Why Do Bearded Dragons Burp?
As we touched on earlier in the article, it is actually less common for a bearded dragon to burp due to the digestion of normal, suitable food in their diet and the four most common causes of a bearded dragon are usually an indication of a problem.
These are the most common reasons that your pet bearded dragon may be burping:-
- Drinking Too Much Water
- Respiratory Infection
- Unsuitable Diet
- Health Issues
Drinking Too Much Water
One of the most common mistakes that we see people new to keeping a pet bearded dragon make time and time again is that they will give their bearded dragon far too much water.
Bearded dragons can take a surprisingly large amount of food in via the goods in their diet with grapes and cucumber being the most common food based water sources.
This means that your bearded dragon may end up being over-hydrated and burping but this is an easy fix and slightly lowering the water in take of your beardie will usually fix this.
We would recommend that you get confirmation from your vet on this being the cause of the issue if possible though as tweaking the water intake of your pet is a serious step.
Respiratory infections in bearded dragons are far more common than most people think and they will usually require a trip to the vets for a check up and some medication to treat the condition quickly.
You will almost always require medication from a vet to help your pet beardie get over a respiratory infection so if you do think that this is the reason that your bearded dragon is burping so much then there is no time to waste.
These infections can develop quickly and end up being fatal so the sooner you get the correct medication for your bearded dragon, the higher its chances of survival are.
Many people make easy to avoid mistakes with their pet bearded dragon when they first add their beardie to their family.
These mistakes are usually based around overfeeding their beardie or feeding them unsuitable foods that really should be avoided.
Both of these can result in excess gas being produced during the digestive process causing your pet bearded dragon to burp excessively.
Although there really are a huge number of different ways to feed your pet bearded dragon, we really would recommend that you check out our article going over the bearded dragon salad method if possible.
It is becoming a more popular way to feed bearded dragons that can help to avoid issues with overfeeding and accidentally adding unsuitable foods into their diet that can cause burping so we highly recommend the method.
There are a number of health issues ranging from infections to tumors that can also cause your bearded dragon to burp or move and make similar sounds to burping.
These can be difficult to diagnose yourself but can sometimes end up being fatal if not treat quickly so we would recommend that you take your bearded dragon for a check up with the vets if you suspect that any of these could be the potential problem.
Some of these health issues can be a quick and easy fix where as others may need an operation or medication but until you have your beardie checked out, you just won’t know.
How Can I Stop My Bearded Dragon Burping?
Depending on the reason that your bearded dragon is burping, you may be able to quickly and easily stop your pet from burping with some simple steps but it is usually far more difficult than most people think to actually diagnose the problem correctly.
This is why we have mentioned taking your beardie to see a vet so much above as it is usually the safest, quickest, and easiest way to correctly confirm the problem with your pet beardie.
Once you know the problem, it can be as easy to fix as removing a certain food from the diet of your bearded dragon or giving it some medication for a week or so then the burping can stop.
