Are you cyber hungry?
For foodies, Cyber Monday is a great opportunity to buy just about anything gourmet-related, from meats to cheeses, pizzas to pies and soup to nuts (literally). Most big names in mail-order goodies (and plenty of smaller ones) are offering deals of all kinds, with some specials extended beyond Monday. With that in mind, here’s our second annual guide to some foodie favorites — just in time for the big shopping day. Prices quoted are before any deals or coupons are applied and do not include shipping. (And if there’s a Cyber Monday deal that requires a code, we’ve provided it; otherwise, any available offers should be clearly indicated on the site.)
Holiday sweets: Chocolate or candy is always a good holiday gift. But chocolate or candy with a holiday theme? Even better. A couple of items especially caught our eye this year. FTD (yes, the flower people but they also do mail-order foods) has its beyond-cute Golden Edibles Snowman Belgian Chocolate Dipped Cake Pops and Nutter Butter Cookies ($29.99-$49.99). And Dancing Deer Baking Company has its Christmas Bakery Tower, replete with hand-decorated “winter mittens” and “Christmas tree” cookies ($49.99; for Cyber Monday special, put CYBER in the checkout code).
Meat by mail: The mail-order steak business has gotten very crowded of late. Lobel’s, a legendary New York butcher, is still our favorite, especially because it ships its beef fresh, not frozen. But a strong new contender is Suzy Sirloin, the brainchild of Suzanne Strassburger, a New Yorker whose family has been delivering prime and aged beef to steakhouses around the country. The Suzy Sirloin line is aimed for the gourmet-savvy mass market, which is to say the beef is choice (the grade below prime), but all-natural and hormone and antibiotic-free. All we can say is that it’s beef that tastes like honest-to-goodness beef, available in a variety of packages (the “Beautiful Beef!” for $169 includes a good assortment of steaks and ground items). We love their lamb sliders, too (they’re offered as part of the “Kids Cuts” package).
Ribs times two: Speaking of Lobel’s, we were pleased to learn they’ve gone into the ribs business, too. And the New York beef biggies have aced St. Louis-style ribs ($37.98 for a 1.75-lb. rack) – the meaty spare ribs (as opposed to baby backs) have a perfectly smoky flavor and nice hint of spice; the pinkish color also tells you they’ve spent real time in the smoker. But another great source for ribs is Goldbely, which calls itself as a “curated marketplace of great gourmet food” from around the country and which offers the justly famed dry-rubbed baby backs from Charles Vergo’s Rendezvous in Memphis (two slabs for $99); these are ribs with a real kick to them, thanks to a spice mix that blends lots of flavors (fiery, sweet, aromatic) into a telling whole.
The big beef (and ham): Snake River Farms specializes in Wagyu beef – the American equivalent of Japan’s renowned Kobe. What makes the company extra-special is some of the heftier cuts and roasts it offers by mail, such as the impressive-looking boneless ribeye roast ($149-$199) – a piece of meat tailor-made for the holiday table. But if ham is slated for your table, you can’t do much better than the ones from Edwards, particularly the bone-in, hickory-smoked Virginia country hams ($109.95-$145.95). They arrive fully cooked, but a turn in the oven will give them a real depth of flavor (plus, the heating allows that signature brown-sugar glaze to caramelize beautifully).
Topping it off: How do you make a better burger? Or a better ice-cream sundae? It’s all about the toppings. When it comes to burgers, Terrapin Ridge Farms offers a Gourmet Burger Connoisseur Box Set ($22.95) that includes such sophisticated ketchup alternatives as Hot Pickled Pepper Burger Topper and a Bleu Cheese Sauce (our favorite). When it comes to ice cream, Spoonable, which bills itself as “Brooklyn’s Saucy Caramel” (the dessert brand is from New York’s borough of all things artisan and edible), has a Holiday Sampler ($15) that includes mini jars of some very exotic caramel sauces – flavored with sesame and chiles, among other ingredients.
Morning glory: Breakfast baskets always make good holiday gifts – and the big gourmet names all seem to offer them. We’ve liked ones from Stonewall Kitchen (a New England Morning Basket for $99.95 that includes such regional items as Maine Barn Maple Syrup, Maine Blueberry Honey and Wild Maine Blueberry Jam, plus a few baking mixes) and Sarabeth’s Kitchen (the Rise and Shine Combo for $34.95, featuring such Sarabeth-branded items as orange-apricot marmalade and Morning Crunch Classic Raisin Almond Granola).
A taste of Texas: Houston-based barbecue chain/gourmet purveyor Goode Co. likes to put a big state in a compact box – a Pure Texas box ($42.95), that is. It comes with its Brazos Bottom Pecan Pie (a version that’s indeed chock full of pecans), two sample-sized bags of pecans and a miniature Texas flag – just so you can wave away and celebrate your inner cowboy. Become a Goode Co. fan on Facebook to learn more about the company’s Cyber Monday deals, which will change by the hour.
A taste of New England: Just as with steaks, we’ve lost count how many gourmet brands are going up against each other in the live-lobsters-from-New England business. But lately, we’ve become interested in these companies’ other offerings. GetMaineLobster.com has about the best Maine Clam Chowdah ($30 per quart and, yes, that’s how they spell it) we’ve ever tried. LobsterAnywhere.com has baked stuffed lobster tails ($44-$229) that take a good thing and make it even better. And Hancock Gourmet Lobster, available through Goldbely, offers a lobster mac ‘n’ cheese casserole ($31.95-$62.95) that takes comfort food to elegant heights.
A taste of Charleston: When Charleston caterer Callie White decided to go into the retail business in 2005, the world finally got a taste of what until then had been a locals-only secret. We’re talking biscuits with lots of flavorful embellishments – varieties range from black pepper to cinnamon. But we love Callie’s Biscuits as much for its other fare, including the best pimento cheese spread we’ve ever had (two containers for $19.90) and Carolina Grits ($9.95) that explode with the flavor of real stone-ground corn.
A taste of Philly: OK, Philly may be best known for its cheese steaks, but we’re talking Philly-made chocolate. The Pennsylvania General Store has put together an electric and intriguing Phllly Dark Chocolate Bar Sampler ($29.99) that includes items from such locally acclaimed chocolatiers as John & Kira, Eclat and Lore. We’re telling you: Brooklyn has nothing on these guys.
Ice cream to go: As in the frozen stuff sent by mail, but isn’t that what they invented dry ice for? Some of the best we’ve found in the ice cream-to-go category comes from Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams, a Columbus, Ohio-based purveyor whose “Flavors from Earth” holiday collection ($72) includes such offbeat-but-seasonal-minded selections as Sweet Potato with Torched Marshmallows and Boozy Eggnog. Looking for something more traditional? FoodyDirect is offering frozen custard from Anderson’s, a Buffalo, N.Y. favorite (a four-pack runs $49) – the chocolate is about the most densely delicious custard we’ve come across.
Bacon in all its forms: For the bacon traditionalist, you can hardly go wrong with ordering from Nueske’s, a worthy name name in the world of all things pork and smoked. Try the Smoked Meat Lover’s Gift Box ($49.95), which includes applewood smoked bacon (both traditional and Canadian-style), along with a host of other treats (sausage, pork chops, sliced beef, etc.). But if you want to push the bacon envelope, may we suggest a bacon “schnecken” (a German-style cinnamon roll) from Cincinnati’s Queen City Cookies? The sweet-meets-salty treat ($13.99) is like a breakfast of pancakes and bacon in coffee-cake form; the company offers more traditional schnecken as well. (To take advantage of a Cyber Monday special of free shipping, put MON in checkout code.)
The perfect panettone: When Michigan-based gourmet market-turned-catalog Zingerman’s offers a product, it’s almost guaranteed to be exemplary and one-of-a-kind. Such is the case with its Panettone Balsamico ($85) – it’s the classic Italian holiday cake with a singular twist: pockets of balsamic “cream” are spread throughout, as in balsamic vinegar. There’s a certain oddball sourness to the thing, but one that makes you rethink the normally ho-hum, breadlike treat.
The gold-standard of olive oils: Speaking of Italian foodstuffs taken to extremes, what about an extra virgin olive oil with edible gold flakes added to it? Lucini offers such an item ($39). Granted, the gold doesn’t add any flavor to the high-quality oil, but it makes it all the more festive in appearance.
Cheese, glorious cheese: Two great names in cheese-by-mail have upped their game for the holidays. New York’s legendary Murray’s shop has a “New Yorker” crate ($125) that includes two first-rate made-in-the-Empire State cheeses, plus such other goodies as a slate cheese board and Brooklyn-made chocolate (from Mast Brothers). On the other side of the country, San Francisco-based Cowgirl Creamery offers its “Cowgirl Deluxe” crate ($110) with four award-winning organic cheeses, packaged with olive oil and sea salt crackers. And if you’re looking for something to pair with all that cheese, the best suggestion we can offer is Virginia Chutney Co.’s “Chutney and Spice Box” package – it comes not just with cheese-friendly chutneys, but also such other cheese-worthy accompaniments as dried figs, roasted almonds and candied ginger. Beautiful packaging, too.
Two spots of tea: Just as with cheese, there are two big names in tea to consider – and both offer holiday-minded gifts. Tea Forte has a Winter Spice Gift Set ($29) that includes a red café cup, perfect for brewing a quick cuppa (it’s more like a mini teapot with its own lid), and 10 of the brand’s signature pyramid-shaped tea infusers (an upscale version of your standard tea bag) in such seasonal flavors as Winter Chai and Sweet Ginger Plum. Republic of Tea has a Two Tin Holiday Gift ($25.95) that combines two warming varieties – Comfort and Joy Black Tea and Dream by the Fire Rooibos Tea.
Time for some kitchen aid: If you’re looking for a bigger ticket item for the cook who thinks they already have everything, may we suggest the Qooq? It’s a new-to-the-market tablet device ($399), created with cooking in mind – it comes preloaded with more than 1,000 exclusive recipes (with the ability to purchase more), allows users to create shopping lists and weekly menus and has a built-in video/MP3 player (hey, you’ve got to listen to something while you’re preparing all that food). Of course, some would rather preserve their food than merely cook it – in that case, the Excalibur series of dehydrators might be the right call. These are sturdy, extra-large machines ($299.95-$499.99) that are much more cut out for the task than a lot of the budget-minded models on the market. And for the hunter crowd, Excalibur even offers a “camouflage” model. Finally, if all that standing around and cooking/preserving is taking a toll on the feet and legs, consider a GelPro mat (models start at $59.95) – it makes doing anything in the kitchen all the more comfortable.
Sometimes you feel like a nut: And there are indeed lots of “nutty” options out there. For traditional nut and dried fruit gifts, we’re big on Superior Nut Company, which sources the fattest cashews we’ve ever seen; the Superior Trio Gift Tray ($36.95), with the aforementioned cashews plus pistachios and almonds, is one of many fine gift options. If you want your nuts (and fruits) in an energy-style bar, the KIND bars are our pick; for the holidays, KIND is partnering with celebrities and packaging its products in 20-bar “cubes” ($42.95), with some of the proceeds supporting a variety of charities. And if you prefer your nuts in candy form, the Oliver Pecan Co. makes a brittle out of its famed pecans – a Spicy Pecan Beer Brittle ($20.99) using a Texas craft beer, to be exact.
Beer…it’s not just for drinking anymore: Speaking of beer, our final pick is another brew-centric one. But we’re not talking the kind of beer you drink…or eat. Instead, it’s a beer soap – yes, beer so good you can take a bath with it — that comes courtesy of Monastery Greetings, a catalog that specializes in all things sourced from monasteries. The Chimay Beer Soap ($8.95) is said to have “a very pleasant natural aroma.” Oh, and if you want one another monk-made item, there’s always that holiday standby: fruitcake. Monastery offers more than a half-dozen varieties.

DHS to stop transporting migrants from Texas to Arizona
Published 12:46 am, Friday, June 6, 2014
PHOENIX — Officials with the Honduran and Guatemalan consulates in Phoenix say no more migrant families are being transported to Arizona from Texas.
Consulate officials tell KPHO-TV (http://bit.ly/1oi00b1) they've been told by Immigration and Customs Enforcement that Thursday was the last day of migrant drop-offs.
The DHS began transporting hundreds of undocumented immigrants from southern Texas to Arizona over the Memorial Day weekend and then releasing them at Greyhound bus stations in Tucson and Phoenix.
DHS officials say the U.S. Border Patrol didn't have the manpower to handle a surge in immigrants from Central America crossing the border illegally in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas.
Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer sent a letter Monday to President Barack Obama, saying she was alarmed that federal officials didn't notify state and local law enforcement.

my car has diveloped a winning noise, I suspect a wheel bearing.
I suspect not a wheel bearing. Bearings growl, not whine.
If I’m not mistaken, that is probably the CVT/transmission and whining is never a good sign. I strongly recommend taking it to a qualified Nissan mechanic to have it checked out. Our Altima did the same thing some months after we bought it and once we had the fluid changed the whining stopped.
Ordinarily, when one suspects a failing wheel bearing that is getting noisy, one can perform a simple, crude test, to either help confirm the problem is a wheel bearing or eliminate that suspicion (in many/most cases).
While driving down a long, straight highway, in a stretch with no other vehicles present in the vicinity, the “test” can begin. With the sound system and HVAC system “off” so that there’s no interfering noise, the driver slightly turns the steering wheel as if changing lanes, mildly “swerving” right and left. A bad bearing will usually get louder in one direction and quieter in the other one.
A bad bearing will usually get louder and quieter in relation to the maneuvers, especially front bearings, in my experience. And in my experience, no change in sound causes me to suspect a different component other than a wheel bearing.
It’s not a conclusive test, but a rough aid. Since I have diagnosed many failing wheel bearings over many decades, I can usually interpret the results of this “test” very accurately, even isolating which bearing is most likely the culprit. Trial and error and experience have been my best teachers.
Nicole_S is right on the money. My wife’s Nissan Sentra developed a low whine a few months after buying it. The suggestion was made to change the transmission fluid as the car had 70k on the clock. It was whine free after that.
What a concept, “talking lubricants”! I’ve not heard of waiting until lubricants were worn enough to be audible, indicating required maintenance. I wonder if that’d work for engine oil, coolant, P/S fluid, and brake fluid?
I can only wish that I had been a little more wine free last evening. Last evening resulted in a morning bicycle ride that was a touch more difficult than usual, but I managed, somehow.


MILL VALLEY, California (Reuters) – Sipping California zinfandel, munching deviled eggs and fretting about President Donald Trump, the company attending a political fundraiser at a Silicon Valley govt’s dwelling have been the standard assortment of tech entrepreneurs and buyers.
However the congressional candidate they’d come to fulfill that March night within the hills north of San Francisco was something however typical.
Elissa Slotkin, a Democrat and former protection official, is operating for Congress in Michigan’s eighth District, a pocket of Detroit suburbs, school campuses and farmland greater than 2,000 miles (three,200 km) away. She is a gun proprietor, a supporter of constitutionally enshrined gun rights and a critic of single payer well being care – hardly the form of far-left candidate voters within the San Francisco Bay Space typically embrace.
However Slotkin, 41, and the occasion company shared a aim: wresting management of the Home of Representatives from Republicans in November’s congressional elections.
With no Bay Space Democrats dealing with severe challenges from Republicans, the occasion host, Brian Monahan, and a gaggle of fellow expertise and advertising and marketing executives have determined to look farther afield for candidates in swing districts that want monetary help.
To focus their efforts, Monahan, expertise investor Chris Albinson, govt recruiter Jon Love and a handful of others have fashioned a loose-knit group they name Purple Mission.
To this point, the group has raised not less than $210,000 for Democratic candidates in Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania and elsewhere. The sum is a pittance in comparison with the cash being spent on key races by fundraising Political Motion Committees (PACs), which signify firms and political curiosity teams and contribute hundreds of thousands of every election cycle. However in reasonable districts with shut races like Slotkin’s, such grassroots efforts could make a distinction.
Purple Mission is certainly one of quite a few casual teams in solidly blue states resembling California, Vermont and Massachusetts which have mobilized this 12 months to again candidates in distant swing districts. To this point, it has endorsed six candidates and plans to endorse 14 extra by the tip of July.
Love, a longtime govt recruiter for expertise firms, spearheads candidate vetting. Many within the group have made the utmost allowable particular person donation of $2,700 to every candidate.
For its contributors, Purple Mission is a method to channel months of political frustrations since Trump took workplace.
“Issues are merely unacceptable and sitting on the sidelines simply stewing on it isn’t serving to anybody,” Monahan mentioned. “You’re feeling like out right here in California your vote is nugatory.”
That’s as a result of Home representatives from the San Francisco Bay Space are unwaveringly Democratic.
The group’s efforts may backfire, nonetheless, by opening candidates as much as accusations of being beholden to exterior pursuits and disconnected from their constituents, mentioned Kyle Kondik, who research Home races for the College of Virginia’s Heart for Politics.
“You may have the ability to assault Slotkin as not having deep sufficient roots within the district,” Kondik mentioned.
To re-take the Home, Democrats would want to take 23 seats held by Republicans, in addition to hold all of the districts they now maintain. Which means races like Slotkin’s, in a aggressive district with a mixture of Republican and Democratic counties stretching from north of Detroit to the state capitol, Lansing, are pivotal.
She faces a bruising battle, nonetheless, making an attempt to unseat two-term Congressman Mike Bishop, who gained with 56 p.c of the vote in 2016.
Out-of-state cash has been the lifeblood of Slotkin’s marketing campaign, placing her far forward of her competitor for the Democratic nomination and almost neck-and-neck with Bishop. Slotkin had raised $1.5 million as of March 31, with simply $304,000 coming from Michigan donors. She raised greater than $120,000 from people within the San Francisco Bay Space. (Graphic: tmsnrt.rs/2sjPBV1)
“Our marketing campaign finance legal guidelines are so damaged that in an effort to compete it’s important to elevate a big sum of money,” she advised Reuters throughout a tour of her 400-acre farm in Holly, Michigan, when requested about Purple Mission’s donations to her marketing campaign. “If which means elevating from exterior the state I’d fairly have that than the affect of a company PAC.”
At a home occasion in April within the small Michigan metropolis of Brighton, a few dozen neighbors from a tidy middle-class neighborhood gathered to fulfill Slotkin and cheer her on, however not all have been hopeful.
“I don’t give her a lot of an opportunity, nevertheless it’s good to have her there and perhaps she’ll take a chew out of Bishop’s vote,” mentioned Blake Lancaster, 74.
Purple Mission is a political group with a deeply private origin. Albinson, co-founder of San Francisco expertise funding agency Founders Circle, mentioned he was unnerved to be taught his father-in-law in Michigan, Jerry Smith, voted for Trump.
He set about discovering reasonable congressional candidates he and his pals in Silicon Valley may help, however who would additionally attraction to Smith.
After Albinson met Slotkin, he subjected her to a litmus check: she needed to go to his father-in-law.
Smith, 72, describes himself as a “commonsense Republican” frightened about his healthcare prices. A retired small enterprise proprietor who lives on a 40-acre farm simply exterior the eighth District, Smith mentioned he and his spouse, Barb, fret about spending down their financial savings “only for the common month-to-month payments.”
Slotkin gained over Smith, who mentioned he was impressed by her resume and decency, and her views on enhancing President Barack Obama’s healthcare overhaul, the Reasonably priced Care Act, to maintain healthcare prices down. From there, Purple Mission has grown.
To win the group’s backing, candidates should have the ability to attraction to Trump supporters and should have previous service within the army, authorities or non-profit sector. In addition they should reject company PAC cash and help inexpensive well being care and infrastructure enchancment.
The group presents greater than cash. Monahan, who was head of selling at Walmart.com and an promoting govt at image-sharing and purchasing web site Pinterest, helps campaigns with digital advertising and marketing, for example.
Final spring, Slotkin left Washington and a 15-year authorities profession in protection and intelligence work to maneuver again to the household farm in Holly. However a few of her neighbors on this working-class city aren’t significantly excited about a newcomer Democrat.
Holly city supervisor George Kullis mentioned he plans to vote for Bishop as a result of the congressman helped him get federal funding for brand new indicators for the nationwide cemetery on the town.
“Bishop has been good; he’s been ‘Johnny on the spot,’” Kullis mentioned. “Apart from, who is that this Elissa Slotkin? I’ve by no means heard of her.”

Nevis, is a small
island in the Caribbean Sea that forms part of the inner arc
of the Leeward Islands chain of the West Indies. Nevis and the
neighbouring island of Saint Kitts constitute one country: the Federation of Saint Kitts and

archipelago, about 350 km east-southeast of Puerto Rico and 80 km west
of Antigua. Its area is 93 square kilometres and the capital
is Charlestown. Saint Kitts and Nevis are separated by a
shallow 3-kilometre channel known as "The Narrows". Nevis is
roughly conical in shape with a volcano known as Nevis Peak at its
centre. The island is fringed on its western and northern coastlines by
sandy beaches which are composed of a mixture of white coral sand with
brown and black sand which is eroded and washed down from the volcanic
rocks that make up the island.
Population of the island is about 11,000 persons. [R1]

With more than half of India's people under 25 years of age, the view on Independence Day is undergoing a fundamental change. This generation is connected and confident. They have instant access to the knowledge of the world through dozens of TV channels, the internet, and their mobiles.
They look at the outsourcing industries and the economic resurgence in India and feel secure that not only are they at least as good as anyone else in the world, they have better times to look forward to. So when it comes to Independence Day, it is not a recall of an event that transpired in the past, but a question of how well we are doing with what was won with such sacrifice.
Today we have a resurgent India, willing to confidently pursue its business and geo-political agenda on the world stage. An India willing to undergo economic reforms to remake itself into a powerhouse. The prime minister's assertion today that power would not be available for free, was a shedding of the dogma of the past, that focused more on hand-outs than giving every citizen the opportunity to earn a decent living.
It was a reaffirmation of economic growth through liberalisation and investments in health-care and education. Beside political reform, we are seeing industries reform themselves, whether it is the textile companies tying up with independent weavers, manufacturing companies getting globally competitive and even the Post Office becoming an outsourcing hub! Add to this the youth that brings a growing labour pool and a consumerist attitude and you have the makings of a boom that can last decades.
Are we done yet? No. Are there still bumps in the road? Absolutely! But if Independence Day is to become an ongoing report card on how well we are handling the responsibility of self governance, we can give ourselves a high grade, though we are yet to graduate.
No democracy is complete without the active participation of its citizenry. Freedom is not something you win once, but maintain everyday. Independence Day is a good moment to recognise the efforts of several individuals who know that it just takes a few committed people to change the world for millions.
These efforts cover a wide range, from making more participation of local citizenry in the decision making of democracy, to education of the children of the slums, to healthcare for the poor, to micro-finance for economic empowerment of women in rural areas, and so many more. Some of these stories are covered in the paper today, and to them and the thousand of others that are out there, a grateful nation gives its salute.

You need to accept the requested permission once and your location will appearn on the map even on your next visits to where-am-i.net. You can view your current location’s latitude and longitude and you can copy the location url and share as much as you like.
Why to use Where am I?
There are reasons just like above ones when finding out the location information becomes important. You can find out your current location’s latitude and longitude as well as just viewing it on the map.
What is Latitude and Longitude? We are talking about two imaginary lines. Shortly, let’s say there are parallel lines crossing the Earth, we call it latitude, and longitudinal lines crossing the parallel lines longitudinally which we call longitude. Let us get on details. Latitude: the distance from any point on earth to the equator. As you move from the equator to the poles, temperature decreases, gravity increases, salt ratio in the seas and oceans decreases and the shadow length extends. Longitude: the angular measurement of the distance from any point on earth’s surface to Greenwich, London which is the prime meridian.
Nowadays, Location information has an important place in our lives. It is impossible to get a pinpoint position using only latitude or longitude. Both values are required and complementary to each other. With the increase of mobile technology usage, you can share your location with anyone you want easily and swiftly.
There is nothing you should do: by using your log information, the map below will show my current location on the surface of our planet.
Regardless of where you are at the moment, somewhere high in mountains or somewhere deep in forests, in the extreme North or in hot deserts of Africa, you’ll get a very fast and absolutely correct answer to the question, what is my current location on map. All you need to have is a stable internet connection and a device with a web browser.
After you let where-am-i.net show your location, my location now with latitude and longitude will appear in the form above. To see your location on the map you have to let your browser share your location.

All through historical past, governments have exploited or collected data on their residents—from benign knowledge, like wage info and census data, to creepy knowledge, like biometric data for regulation enforcement actions. With abortion rights underneath assault within the U.S., privacy experts are warning in regards to the potential for the federal government to gather and use cell phone data to focus on and prosecute pregnant individuals and people searching for abortion. Over the previous yr the FBI made more than three million warrantless queries on the information of U.S. residents collected by each the federal government and private companies.
A shrinking share of People assist such warrantless authorities surveillance. But now we have not successfully advocated towards the rising surveillance of our private knowledge. That’s as a result of we aren’t taking a principled view on authorities surveillance as an entire. As a substitute, we’re beginning to see viewpoints devolve into ostracization and hatred of the “other.”
Our original research means that People’ fears about authorities surveillance change based mostly on who’s in energy and what we worry that political occasion might do with our knowledge. These fears cloud the problem at hand: If we wish extra management over our personal privateness, then we have to put our focus in direction of what knowledge the federal government collects and what they do with that knowledge. However, regardless of bipartisan assist of legal guidelines limiting knowledge assortment and privateness, legislators’ efforts to stop government surveillance have floundered.
To guard our privateness we have to deal with the legal guidelines and packages that allow knowledge assortment on People. These legal guidelines and packages keep fixed at the same time as administrations shift. It’s because a constellation of presidency businesses, courts and legal guidelines collectively govern how we’re surveilled. As a substitute of trusting or distrusting authorities surveillance based mostly on whether or not the occasion we affiliate with is in energy, People must demand transparency into how the federal government as an entire is having access to their knowledge and what they’re doing with it.
Typical discourse treats the federal government as a faceless entity, whose choices are abstracted away from the individuals who make them. We use language like “the federal government obtained a warrant” or “the federal government mandated.” We conjure photographs of huge bureaucratic establishments veiled behind windowless, brutalist buildings which make choices.
However in the case of knowledge gathering and privateness, these individuals and establishments are extra nuanced. To raised perceive how the 2020 presidential election modified how individuals take into consideration authorities surveillance, our staff of researchers on the College of Maryland and the Max Planck Institute for Software program Methods surveyed People about their privateness opinions within the summers of 2020 and 2021.
Underneath a Republican administration in 2020, self-reported Republicans have been 9 perentage factors extra probably than Democrats to be okay with the federal government gathering knowledge on them to stop terrorism. At the moment, Republicans have been additionally extra accepting of DNA-testing firms sharing their clients’ genetic knowledge with regulation enforcement to assist in fixing crimes, probably as a result of Republicans view the police as protectors, notably when their occasion is in energy.
However, after the election of Joe Biden in 2020, opinions flipped. When surveyed in 2021, Republicans’ tolerance of each these types of authorities surveillance grew weaker, and Democrats’ tolerance grew stronger; now, Democrats have been 9 share factors extra probably than Republicans to be okay with the federal government gathering knowledge on them to stop terrorism. This implies that People are extra prepared to simply accept the federal government gathering knowledge on them when their politics align with the president’s, although the information being gathered could also be put to the identical use.
Even controlling for different components like age, gender, race, ethnicity and degree of training, opinions flipped after the 2020 election.
Understanding what’s taking place to our private knowledge and the right way to regain management of it is hard. When confronted with a tough drawback, we use mental shortcuts called heuristics to assist us make choices with out absolutely understanding all the things about the issue we’re going through. In terms of authorities surveillance, we’re counting on political belief—belief of our political occasion—as an alternative of attempting to know what’s truly taking place with our knowledge.
Belief is central to privateness. If I belief you, I’m prepared to share or disclose info with you. My belief in you reduces how vulnerable I really feel about the truth that you already know non-public details about me.
And whereas we typically belief our personal political occasion, the choices about what occurs to our knowledge are not often made by the president, and are much more not often publicly disclosed.
The U.S. authorities is notoriously opaque about what private knowledge it collects and what it does with the information. When Edward Snowden uncovered extensive phone and Internet surveillance on tens of millions of People by the U.S. intelligence neighborhood in 2013, there was outrage. However Republicans have been extra involved than Democrats, probably one other results of political belief, since these revelations occurred when former President Obama was in workplace and Democrats held a Senate majority.
Our worry of what the opposing occasion may do with our knowledge is driving us to vary our opinions, which doesn’t make sense given the construction of the federal government.
Now we have the flexibility to politically unite on higher privateness laws. Actually, one of many few subjects on which political representatives be a part of collectively is protecting their constituents’ privacy from know-how firms, even when political representatives won’t limit government surveillance.
Know-how firms vacuum up buyer knowledge and use such knowledge to tailor their merchandise, providers and, after all, ads. Fb, Google and Amazon gather your searching historical past, location, financial information and birthday to make it extra probably that you simply click on their ads. Regardless of at present’s politically polarized ambiance, a majority of Americans agree that Congress ought to go a federal privateness regulation as quickly as doable to guard shopper knowledge from tech firms.
We’d like the identical advocacy for transparency about authorities surveillance as for surveillance by tech firms. In an indication of progress, the Workplace of the Director of Nationwide Intelligence disclosed for the first time in April how intelligence businesses are surveilling People and the way many individuals’s knowledge they’re querying. We’d like a bipartisan push for extra transparency like this to empower People to develop an knowledgeable opinion about authorities surveillance and advocate for his or her privateness.
Surveillance is surveillance, regardless of which political occasion does it. Treating the information gathered by one occasion as extra benign than that collected by the opposite facet will solely serve to extend the privacy-infringing powers of present and future governments. Utilizing political belief as a heuristic to type opinions on authorities surveillance is a smokescreen that distracts us from potential authorities overreach that may infringe upon the rights of either side of the aisle.

Since reopening the Woodrow Wilson Family Home in 2014, our organization has shown an unwavering commitment to tell a more complete and inclusive history at all the sites that...
Hampton-Preston Phase 3
2018 marked the 200th anniversary of the Hampton-Preston Mansion, one of South Carolina’s oldest structures. To commemorate this milestone, we reopened the site on May 12, 2018 with an updated interpretive and structural improvements.
This year, Hampton-Preston will complete its final phase of renovations.
The main goal of this project is to increase the capacity of the site to meet the needs of multiple constituents.
This includes students, groups, rental guests and the general public. Classrooms will be added to the basement for education space, as well as restrooms and a sunken patio outside for rental events. This sunken patio feature re-establishes the footprint of the house ca. 1848/50 addition that was later removed.
During the coming months, the basement and North-facing side of Hampton-Preston will be transformed into a handicap accessible education and venue space. Updates will include:
- Educational spaces
- Rear “patio” feature
- Men’s & women’s restrooms
- Bridal party suite/sitting room
- Improved lighting
- Dual entry to the rear main level of the building
The plantings included in the sunken patio will complement the space without impinging on its functionality. Examples of plants that may be included are dwarf fall-blooming camellias, dwarf bottlebrush, and dwarf canna lilies.

Light fighting the Dark Ages of Energy Finance in Tar Sands and the smeared Banks is a story of hope and despair at the same time…
In a Leviathan struggle of the ages, Light vs Darkness still duke it out daily.
But where your money and future is involved, nowhere is this more clearly expressed than in the fight between fossil fuels’ dark Lords and the princes wanting to usher in a new age of Enlightment.
Because here are clearly the forces of Enlightenment fighting the Dark Ages of Energy insecurity of Stupid Finance and the gloom and doom of the oilers… bringing us to cook in a warming planet.
But we can focus o the upside too:
As an example take the new equity stake raised by Google in a new biofuels start up and on the other hand; the dirty oil money bets placed by RBS, RBC and many others to support BP and Shell in the tar sands of Canada.
Google has strengthened its position as one of the world’s leaders in innovative renewable energy technologies investment, shelling out an undisclosed sum as part of the latest funding round for California-based start-up CoolPlanetBiofuels.
This equity stake, which follows an $8m funding round last year led by North Bridge Venture Partners an including GE Energy Financial Services, will support CoolPlanetBiofuels efforts to produce a biofuel made from biomass such as grass and wood chips, which the company claims will result in a “negative carbon fuel” that removes carbon from the atmosphere.
“The company has come up with an innovative solution to one of the world’s biggest problems,” said Wesley Chan, partner at Google Ventures. “The technology is a win-win as the company is developing a sustainable and renewable energy source that also helps reduce the amount of carbon in the atmosphere.”
According to CoolPlanetBiofuels, its N100 fuel technology utilises a “revolutionary thermal/mechanical processor” to turn non-food crops such as grasses and crop residues to produce gas streams that can then be upgraded using catalytic processes to produce a hydrocarbon fuel suitable for use in conventional vehicles.
Significantly, this turns excess carbon into a high purity solid that can then be buried as a soil enhancer, sequestering the carbon for hundreds of years.
“Our process yields about the same amount of carbon as gasoline so, if we sequester this carbon as a soil enhancer, or simply bury it as coal, the associated fuel has a N100 negative carbon rating,” the company says on its web site.
CoolPlanetBiofuels president and chief executive, Mike Cheiky, said the latest funding from Google would now allow the firm to accelerate plans to scale up its team and operations.
The deal is the latest in a long line of clean tech early stage speculative equity investments from Google Ventures and follows the firm’s investment last month in energy efficiency company Transphorm and many others prior to this.
On the other end of the spectrum we’ve got the investments by RBS and all other old fashion and antiquated thinking banks into the Dark Ages of the Canadian Tar Sands. Talk about looking backwards and financing the past and death.
Still this RBS and RBC banking frenzy of tar sands enabling investment is what really causes the Tar sands rumored comeback. Same like Michael Jackson was wooed by Pepsi before his hair caught on fire and ascended to St Peter’s domain, self medicated with expensive black drug juice. Same black drug juice like the oil wringed out of the stones in Alberta Canada. Addictive stuff… since with the expensive oil generated these last few months, because at the trough of the last oil price cycle two years ago, with crude briefly below $33 a barrel, the Canadian oil stones or tar sands seemed in danger of being written off as a failed experiment and now – Oh baby – they rock again.
How times change is evident from the construction costs for new projects that had soared, as a consequence of trying to bring too much investment into a constrained area around the hub of the oil sands in Fort McMurray, Alberta Canada’s vast pollution province headquarters.
While existing tar sands projects that had sunk their start-up costs long ago – the earliest goes back to the 1960s – were still commercially viable, new projects that had to put in place expensive facilities seemed utterly uneconomic. Some were said to need oil prices of $90 a barrel or more to show a profit.
The International Energy Agency of the UN, reported in 2009 that 15 planned developments in the Canadian oil sands had been put on ice, as a result of the economic downturn and the collapse in the price of crude, and there were signs, that the hiatus could be prolonged for a while.
Peter Voser, the chief executive of Royal Dutch Shell, which had been one of the most enthusiastic investors, said that the company’s expansion in the region would be “very much slower”, once its latest investment phase was over, as the group made a strategic shift away from high-cost “unconventional” oil.
Today, with the price of US crude three times that low of two years ago, the outlook for the Canadian industry looks brighter.
Without much fanfare, projects that were already under way when the downturn hit are coming to completion, and projects that were put on ice are being warmed up again.
Analysts at IHS Cera, the research group, estimate that at the height of the boom, in the summer of 2008, there were projects planned or already under way to add 2m barrels a day of production to last year’s total of about 1.4m-1.5m b/d. Today, those projects that are set to go ahead will add about 1.5m b/d, suggesting that only about a quarter of previously planned investment remains on hold.
After a couple of years of being embarrassed to talk to their investors about their Canadian commitments, leading international oil companies are once again promoting them as a source of strength.
ExxonMobil, the world’s largest private sector oil company by market capitalisation, has faced concerns that it is becoming excessively reliant on low-value US gas, following its $41bn acquisition of Texas-based XTO. It is answering that criticism in part by pointing to its Kearl oil sands project, which is due to come into production by the end of 2012.
Even Shell, which has its costly expansion of its Athabasca Oil Sands Project coming onstream this year, looks likely to commit itself to further investment in “debottlenecking” the project: installing new equipment to make maximum use of capacity.
The expansion is adding 100,000 b/d of production to take output to 255,000 b/d; the first phase of debottlenecking will add a further 35,000 b/d.
Shell’s move to spend its money more carefully on lower-cost adjustments to existing projects, rather than a grandiose development, is typical of the industry’s new approach.
The revival of the oil sands is being driven not only by the upturn in oil prices, but also by a smarter attitude to costs.
Fort McMurray remains a very expensive region in which to operate, but companies are now doing more to get round that problem.
“The industry has realised there is a limit to how much new capacity it can bring on at once,” says Jackie Forrest, the Calgary-based director of global oil at IHS Cera.
“Today we are seeing an upturn in investment in projects where the break-even oil price is about $60-$70 per barrel. So the economics make sense.”
Among the examples of this new carefulness about costs, she says, have been decisions over upgraders, the expensive facilities needed to convert the sludgy bitumen extracted from the oil sands into a saleable form of crude.
At one point, as many as eight of these multibillion-dollar upgraders had been proposed, and five looked likely to go ahead. Now just two such projects are under development.
Last December, Suncor of Canada and Total of France agreed a deal that reflected this new spirit, pooling operations in a range of oil sands developments and in Suncor’s planned Voyageur upgrader.
A joint venture between Britain’s BP and Husky Energy of Canada is another example. In 2007, Husky abandoned its plan for an upgrader, and signed up for a joint venture with BP that will pipe the bitumen (diluted with lighter liquids so it will flow) to the British company’s Toledo refinery in Ohio, to be processed into fuels there.
With the economics looking more favourable, environmental arguments may now return to the fore.
Opponents of tar sands development, need now to redouble their fight against the tar sands economic as well trying to figure out the economic additionality. Because if we are to discredit the financial basis for building more and more tar sand extraction plants in the Canadian territories, and stop investment flows there, we must make the case to the asset managers and the few remaining smart bankers of the nonsensical economics of the tar sands.
We must simply add up the costs of the Environmental damage, the CSR costs, the long term capital exposure from environmental disasters, to those existing overall costs of the tar sands. Then the prospects for Tar sands development stop looking rosy all of a sudden no matter what colour tinted glasses the oil cos executives and their friendly bankers wear…
And in the interest of elucidation, transparency and confident investor direct action, we are shedding some light Fossil fuel Energy Finance.
Here are the offending banks. let tham know what yiu think of their practices at their Annual Shareholders Meetings and every day emailing the CEO and the Bank’s executive board of governance.
You never know when You might break the net with your missives or tip the balance and shame them into doing the right thing and letting the tar sands alone…
Worth while investigating the end point too.
The shaming list for the Perps works well too.
And as an ode to the “rank ‘em and spank ‘em” strategy, by RAN, we present the following illustration by Stefan Loren:
Here follows the roster of international banks backing expansion in the Canadian tar sands.
Each of these banks received letters from RAN, IEN and BankTrack late last year requesting information about how they are addressing the damage caused by tar sands development.
Responses (or lack thereof) will help us identify which banks are serious about responsible banking, and which may need more convincing.
Responses received to date are also linked in the table after the jump.
UPDATE: There’s been some questions about how these numbers are derived. We have answers, following the table.
The table below is based on credit extended and underwritten by each bank to companies operating in the business of Canadian tar sands since 2007 according to Bloomberg.
Restrictions at Bloomberg prevent us from publishing deal-by-deal details to the web, but are available upon request if you leave your email in the comments.
The totals are based on underwriting league tables reported by Bloomberg.
Totals are derived only from loans to companies with significant operations in the tar sands.
Specifically the companies listed below. Totals may not reflect actual lending.
Totals represent the full value of loans where the bank acted as lead book-runner (also called managing underwriter, lead manager, etc…).
Where the bank was one of multiple lead book-runners, value is awarded pro-rata.
Here are the details from Bloomberg.

ALBANY, Ga. -- Lawyers will begin picking a jury Monday to hear the murder trial of former DeKalb County Sheriff Sidney Dorsey, who is accused of orchestrating the assassination of his successor.
Dorsey is charged with 16 counts that accuse him of racketeering and ordering the murder of sheriff-elect Derwin Brown, who was gunned down in his driveway Dec. 15, 2000, three days before he was to take office.
Brown had beaten Dorsey in a hotly contested election months earlier and had vowed to clean up corruption in the sheriff's department.
DeKalb Circuit Judge Cynthia J. Becker agreed to move the trial to another city because of heavy pretrial publicity. Albany, in southwestern Georgia, was chosen because its racial makeup is similar to DeKalb County, and because of the availability of courtroom space and other favorable accommodations.
DeKalb prosecutors will have their work cut out for them.
Dorsey has denied any involvement in Brown's murder, and prosecutors have built their case almost solely on the testimony of former Dorsey associates Paul Skyers and Patrick Cuffy, who were given immunity in exchange for their testimony.
Cuffy and Skyers have said Dorsey ordered the hit and they carried it out with two other men, David Ramsey and Melvin Walker, who was the alleged triggerman.
But a DeKalb jury in January rejected the testimony of Cuffy and Skyers and acquitted Ramsey and Walker of all charges. Their attorneys painted Cuffy and Skyers as the real killers who tried to sacrifice Ramsey and Walker to get their freedom.
DeKalb District Attorney J. Tom Morgan said offering immunity to Cuffy and Skyers was "a calculated risk" that could ultimately end his career. But, he said, the murder would still be unsolved without them.
"Without their cooperation there would never have been any attempt to have a prosecution in this case," Morgan said in March.
Jury selection is expected to take about a week. The trial could last five or six weeks.
Judge Becker met with reporters covering the trial last week, threatening to jail those who try to talk to potential jurors in the high-profile case. She also asked them not to identify jurors until after the trial and said anyone causing courtroom disruptions would be ejected and barred from covering the trial.
Becker said a gag order barring Dorsey, defense attorneys, prosecutors, family members, investigators and others from commenting on the case outside of court remains in effect. She imposed the order in March in DeKalb County.


Joyous celebrations erupted at the graduation ceremony as 35 aspiring women farmers from across South Africa proudly graduated from the 2023 Corteva Agriscience #SoilSistas Programme.
The third #SoilSistas cohort was a year-long journey to enhance the skills and knowledge of women in agriculture and was presented by Corteva Agriscience in partnership with the Gordon Institute of Business Science (GIBS).
#Soilsista Hlobisile Yende shone as the top achiever, applauding her peers for their shared success.
‘Ready to take our businesses to the next level’
“Today we stand as accomplished graduates who are upskilled and ready to take our businesses to the next level.
“The richness of this programme, the content of the faculty and our mentors who have been the cornerstone of our learning, their guidance, wisdom and support has shaped us into understanding agriculture’s complexities,” Yende said.
Yende said beyond the curriculum they were able to cultivate relationships, which made the journey truly remarkable.
“Each of us has undergone personal growth and transformation during this time. The lessons learned, challenges overcome, and the skills acquired have laid the foundation for our future endeavours in agriculture.
“As we move forward, let’s carry the ethos of stewardship, innovation and sustainability in this programme.”
A joyous moment
Speaking at the #SoilSistas ceremony, Betty Kiplagat, head of government affairs at Africa Middle East: Corteva Agriscience, described this year’s cohort as a group of determined and resilient women.
“We acknowledge and celebrate the resilience, dedication and expertise that you [bring] to the agricultural sector. It is indeed happy to witness a growing number of women actively participating in every aspect of agriculture from cultivation, and livestock management, to Agribusiness and research,” she said.
Kiplagat expressed deep gratitude for the privilege of witnessing and participating in the women entrepreneurs’ programme throughout the years.
She pledged an ongoing commitment to advocate for incorporating technology in agriculture, emphasising the importance of providing women with access to the necessary tools.
“Corteva strongly believes in this programme… and in developing women’s technical and entrepreneurial skills is key. Given the food demand, this praises the changing context of agricultural trade, the unpredictable long-term effects of climate change and the many challenges women face,” she said.
Landbank supports women
Themba Rikhotso, CEO of Land Bank, highlighted the importance of resilient farmers and congratulated the cohort on pushing past adversity.
Apart from unpacking current offerings available to farmers from Landbank, Rikhotso said the bank has started to pay close attention to supporting women in agriculture and how much of their financing is going into African women.
“We are focusing on transforming the sector, bringing historically disadvantaged individuals into farming. But more importantly, we are not just looking at bringing new farmers into farming, we’re looking at how we can build sustainable, commercial businesses in farming.
“That’s why programmes like these are very important. They make you look at farming as a business and give you other business skills required to run a successful farming business,” he said.

Committee agrees roadmap for dealing with notorious junction
The City of London has agreed to proceed with proposals to improve safety and improve the setting of the Square Mile’s notorious Bank Junction.
Framed by James Stirling’s No1 Poultry, the Bank of England, the Royal Exchange and the Mansion House, the junction is infamous among pedestrians and cyclists. Over the past eight years scores of injuries have been recorded – and one cyclist died.
Recent interventions have seen a ban on vehicles other than buses and cycles using the interchange between 7am and 7pm, but a longer-term improvement project was put on hold in February last year.
Now members of the City’s planning & transportation committee have agreed the first phase of a future vision to make the junction a walkable, enjoyable space with new seating and shaded and sheltered areas.
The project aims to retain some vehicle access, but also targets increased restrictions on two or three roads leading into the junction to create a new priority area for pedestrians and cyclists.
Planning & transportation committee chair Chris Hayward said that the junction could one day be dominated by pedestrians and cyclists.
“We listened to members of the public, local businesses and other stakeholders as part of our work to create safer, healthier streets,” he said.
“Our data shows that the number of pedestrians using the junction has risen in recent years. With the completion of works to upgrade London Underground’s Bank station due in 2022, these numbers will only increase.
“It is vital that we take the next steps to meet this future demand.”
Proposals for the next phase of work are expected later in 2019 and will investigate the future potential for highway alignment, public realm designs and “achievable vehicle mix”.
A report to last week’s meeting said the cost of future works could be up to £18m, depending on which strategic option the committee eventually settles on.
“The subsequent work will identify options for members to choose between which will vary in cost and look and feel,” officers said.
“Given the challenge of building over an existing London Underground structure, even fairly minor alterations to kerb lines, for example, may still be complex to achieve.”

Long Island Senate Republican Leader John Flanagan recently completed an alcohol treatment program. He said the pressure of leading the Senate caused him to become dependent on alcohol and after the Senate session ended in June, he checked himself into a rehab program.
The New York Post also seems to think that Flangan’s sometime-nemesis Mayor Bill de Blasio needs help. In the last few days, they’ve run a series of negative stories claiming that de Blasio takes mid-day naps and bullies his staff. The Post suggests that the mayor has driven away aides by being unprofessional. Though de Blasio denied the allegations, it’s notable that he doesn’t have former aides going around praising his work ethic.

|Previous episode||Magic Hour: Part 2|
An elderly man’s “trouble” sends Nathan and Duke back to 1955, where they search for a way back, but instead encounter Audrey’s alter ego from the past, Sarah.
Duke's father's diary leads him to seek out Stuart Mosley whose name was entered in the diary on the day Duke's grandfather, Roy, died. Mosley, now an old man, recognizes Duke, saying he shouldn't be there and suddenly Duke finds himself in 1955. Soldiers in the local bar start a fight and in the scuffle Duke saves the bartender from an accidental death. Duke is arrested when the police clean up the mess. At the police station he notes a person being held has the Maze tattoo. Luckily the bartender who's life he saved vouches for him and he is released.
In today's Haven The Herald office doesn't exist: in its place is Haven Comics Shop. Nathan says Dave killed Vince fifteen years ago. In 1955 Duke finds a way to deliver a message to Audrey. In today's police station Audrey receives a letter held since 1955 in which Duke explains what has happened to him, so Audrey and Nathan go to see Stuart Mosley. Nathan finds a photo of Mosley on a porch table. Mosley vaguely recognizes Audrey, but says she should go before he has another episode. When he confronts Nathan, Nathan too disappears. Mosley says he knew Nathan and the other man. In 1955 Duke thanks the bartender for bailing him out, then Nathan walks into the bar. As Nathan and Duke talk about how Duke has already changed Haven's future over a few beers, the bartender introduces himself as Roy Crocker. Duke recognizes the name—his grandfather, who Sarah was supposed to kill according to his father's diary. Nathan goes to liberate the Troubled person at the police station, leaving Duke to kill his grandfather.
In today's Haven, Claire tells Audrey that she needs to hide otherwise she'll be arrested for shooting Reverend Driscolll. Nathan is also dead. In 1955 Nathan frees the Troubled person who says that Mosley was arriving this day by ship. Duke, following Roy, sees him talk to a cop who wants him to kill Mosley. Roy refuses, so the cop goes to shoot him, when Duke clobbers the cop. Mosley arrives and his nurse is Sarah. At the hospital Nathan tries to see Mosley, but Sarah removes him from the building, but then they discover some chemistry between them. Duke attempts to persuade Roy to take his family and leave Haven to avoid being forced to do things he doesn't want to do. He is having success, when he needs to take a toilet break. Roy finds the diary. When Duke returns, Roy knocks him out. Nathan and Sarah are on a beach. She says she has only just arrived. Her superviser says that she is good with the strange cases. They soon kiss. Duke finds himself tied up by Roy, who has read the diary and knows that today he is to be killed by Sarah. Nathan finds Duke and learns that Roy intends to kill Sarah.
In today's Haven, Claire tells Audrey that the Guard is now smuggling the Troubled out of Haven. As they meet with ex-chief Garland Wuornos, Driscoll's men capture them all. In 1955 Nathan finds Sarah and, giving her a gun, convinces her to run, but, as she goes to meet Duke, Roy stops her. After a brief Mexican standoff Sarah shoots him. Nathan later tells her a little about Haven and the Troubled and asks for her help. With the help of the photo that Nathan found at Mosley's house in today's Haven Sarah convinces Mosley to send them back to the present.
In today's Haven, Driscoll's men shoot their hostages, but before the bullets reach their targets the present is restored. Audrey is back at Mosley's house, as are Nathan and Duke, who she quickly shoos away. In 1955, Sarah calls her supervisor—the same person as Audrey's Agent Howard—and asks to stay in Haven.
Coverage by the Haven HeraldEditReverend Driscoll's militia, the dead Chief Wournos and the Haven Herald turned into a comic store. The Herald called these "hallucinations" and found the cause to be a small methane leak. The Herald also had an article on the Haven Shore Club and the Haven Historical Society throwing a 1950s themed party.

Support for the Democratic approach to immigration reform appears to be in free-fall after this summer’s surge in under-age immigrants. This helps us understand Obama’s sharp pivot away from executive action in the run-up to the mid-terms. The Wall Street Journal:
Republicans seized on the influx to argue that U.S. borders are too porous, and they blamed what they consider to be Democratic leniency toward illegal immigration for persuading children to make the journey.
The result: voters’ trust in Democrats has fallen, as has their willingness to consider legalization for undocumented.
The new survey finds that 35% of people saying the Republican Party would do a better job on immigration, vs. 27% for Democrats. That represents a big swing from December, when 31% favored Democrats and 26%, Republicans.But as President Obama gets set to pivoting sharply towards bombing Syria and Iraq—apparently by executive action as well—it’s worth noting that current polling favors bombing ISIS as heavily as it favored immigration reform back in the spring when Obama was all over the issue. One can’t help but wonder whether, if the polls flip again before Christmas, the President’s Middle East policies will also turn around.
All politicians need to take public opinion into account. But one never wants to look too much like one is leading from behind and chasing polls.
