has advised ladies as he reveals what will happen if all the rich guys decide to start dating and marrying rich girls only.
According to him, ladies should be calming themselves down because some of them might not have anyone in their life if rich guys start dating and marrying rich girls only without compromising to settle down with any lady.
Rudeboy added that it will surely be hard for other ladies if a day comes and all rich guys decide to start dating and marrying only rich girls or girls in their class or level hence the rest should be calming down for their own good.

Some ladies who have nothing to their name sometimes behave as if they own the whole world and Rudeboy has reminded them that they will find themselves wanting if all rich men who sponsor them decide to date or marry rich girls only.
We don’t know why Rudeboy out of nowhere decided to give ladies this advice but then a day will come when the rich will only like to associate with the rich alone and that has even been going on in some places and it’s just a matter of time then it will take over everywhere.

Two Albany advisory commissions would like the city to go ahead and improve Madison Street from Pacific Boulevard to First Avenue as a “bicycle boulevard.”
Last month, the Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Commission “voted to move forward with a possible bike boulevard,” Chairwoman Ann Ketter reports. On Monday, the Traffic Safety Commission did the same.
(I listened in on both meetings but had to ask about what happened because I fell asleep before the panel voted.)
A bike boulevard means making changes intended to slow or calm motor traffic, such as speed humps, while encouraging bicyclists to use the route. This requires consultation with the neighborhood as well as city council approval.
Steph Nappa of the traffic panel volunteered to work on outreach to the neighborhood.
Albany’s transportation systems plan envisions about half a dozen bike boulevards, and Madison Street is one. The city has not pursued the idea, waiting for neighbors to request action, and no one has.
With or without incorporating the boulevard concept, the city is moving ahead with a bike safety project on Madison, funded by a grant of about $160,000 from ODOT.
There had been about five car-bike crashes on Madison over five years, at the Fourth and Fifth Avenue intersections. Madison is a through street there, with stop signs on the side streets. As explained by Ron Irish, traffic systems analyst, the crashes happened when drivers stopped as required but then moved forward without seeing the bikes.
At the intersections, changes will include green paint on Madison to remind drivers to watch out for cyclists.
The ODOT funding has been approved, but now that project presumably will wait until a decision has been made on adding the boulevard elements, which I gather from the discussion would add about $60,000 to the cost. If the city goes ahead with the boulevard, design would happen this year and construction in 2022.
This may not be the most riveting item in anybody’s life, but if you’re interested in how it comes out, stay tuned. (hh)

Tomorrow....folks will start to arrive in Berlin for the big SPD Party Congress. It's held every two years and just about every single big-wig and little-wig of the SPD will show up.....along with a thousand-odd journalists, and probably several hundred honored guests.
What can be said is that it's coming at a critical point. There's three state elections coming up in March (the 11th) and folks are starting to wonder how they can attract votes for this coming election. The general big topic? Well.....immigration, refugees, and asylum-seekers.
This will end by Sunday morning and folks will depart and try to figure out the best way to tell the direction of the party for the next six months. It's not exactly a rocket-science type affair.
There are five basic elements (at least in my mind) over the membership or the voting public of the SPD.
1. There's the familiar working class folks who've been part of the party for decades. They generally always vote SPD without any problem. This immigration thing? Well.....you might find a third of these folks who question Merkel's logic and how this can possible be smart policy for the SPD to anchor themselves onto. Keeping both groups of the working class within the party vote will be hard.
2. The intellectual crowd are fairly tied down to the SPD message and the Merkel strategy over immigration.
3. The journalists crowd are absolutely tied to the immigration policy and see no reason to challenge or change that.
4. The youth vote that swings toward the SPD is fairly stable. The journalists continually hype immigration and have kept the university age youth signed on for the most part.
5. The swing votes which might go SPD, Linke Party or Green Party.....will likely all have a tie-in to the immigration policy and ought to be happy enough with things as they are. If they voted last time for the SPD....they probably will do the same once again.
So, other than worrying about the working class folks being hostile and departing from the usual vote....the SPD might be a great position. The problem is....the Greens and Linke Party have split up the SPD a good bit and they really can't go beyond thirty-to-thirty-five percent of any state's votes. In a really charged up race with a five-star candidate for the national office.....the SPD might be happier than usual. But they just don't have that type of thrilling character who charms the general public.
A change on the immigration episode? I'm of the mind that they will stay the course and find only a handful of things to challenge or change.

Australia: Anti-gay senator accused of having ‘obsession’ with gay people
Australian Liberal Party Senator Cory Bernardi has been described as being obsessed with gay people due to his outspoken homophobic views.
Mr Bernardi resigned from the Liberal Party’s frontbench in September 2012 after he said that allowing same-sex couples to marry could lead to sanctioning polygamy and even bestiality.
The Age reports Liberal MP Warren Entsch, a former parliamentary secretary and chief opposition whip, said he cringed when he heard Mr Bernardi’s latest comments during a TV interview on Monday designed to promote his new book on conservative politics.
Mr Bernardi warned against ”non-traditional” family arrangements such as step-families, single-parent families and same-sex parent families.
“He’s obviously got an obsession with people that are gay,” Mr Entsch said.
”It worries me. You’ve really got to watch out for those that have these obsessions. He who protests the loudest …”
Mr Entsch said he wondered what Mr Bernardi would think if a member of his family turned out to be gay. ”Would he advocate sterilisation?”
Towards the end of last year, Mr Bernardi called on former Liberal leader and current Communications Minister Malcolm Turnbull to resign because of his support for equal marriage.
Mr Turnbull is at odds with Prime Minister and Liberal Party leader Tony Abbott who remains opposed to equal marriage.
In December, Mr Abbott defended his decision to challenge the Australian Capital Territory’s same-sex marriage law, resulting in 27 couples having their marriages declared invalid after the High Court unanimously ruled that the ACT’s laws were unconstitutional.

Executive function generally necessitates a combination of cognitive and motor abilities. There is evidence of cognitive difficulties as well as motor control deficits in patients suffering from pain and fatigue, and patients frequently complain about increased effort and difficulty performing cognitive tasks. Cognitive dysfunctions, such as impaired working memory, attention deficit, and less efficient information-processing capacity, are common symptoms of pain and fatigue conditions, particularly chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia. Cognitive difficulties are frequently more distressing in these patients than other symptoms. In both CFS and FM, neuroimaging has revealed functional and structural changes in the central nervous system, as well as a pattern of increased neural recruitment during cognitive tasks. Notably, there is some evidence suggesting premature ageing of brain areas in both FM and CFS, which may affect the ability of people with these diagnoses to perform multiple tasks. The addition of a cognitive task while maintaining postural control in quiet standing is expected to increase the load on central processing, affecting the ability to maintain postural equilibrium.
When a cognitive component is added to a healthy person’s controlling strategy, it appears to tighten in order to maintain postural equilibrium. The intrinsic patterns in all groups followed a similar profile at baseline and in the experimental condition, with no interactions that supported different postural control strategies in response to the concurrent cognitive task in patients. However, both patient groups exhibited insufficient postural control when compared to controls, as evidenced by larger amplitude and lower frequency in the slow component representing postural sway and larger. After physical and mental exertion, these patients report increased effort to perform, which is interpreted as lingering postexertional fatigue. It remains to be seen whether increased mental effort and neural recruitment during cognitive tasks interfere with motor control. The effects of pain and fatigue on motor function are frequently overlooked, but they must be acknowledged. Pain and fatigue are overlapping symptoms across conditions and diagnoses, and may be the result of chronification with changes in similar regulatory mechanisms in the Central Nervous System (CNS), particularly in domains not under voluntary control. Pain and fatigue perception may interfere with this process, as deficits in balance and postural steadiness have been demonstrated in FM and CFS patients, with similar deficits found in dynamic postural control at gait initiation. Notably, interactions between the brain, the body, and the environment, as well as perception-action links, are common bases for behaviour without representational separation between domains. Due to the sharing of neural networks between cortical areas, deficiencies in either domain may affect performance when executed concurrently. Attention and sensory integration are required for appropriate motor output, such as balance control.
This may have an impact on certain aspects of motor performance because sensory motor learning necessitates the ability to maintain and update internal models. It is proposed that a mismatch in the magnitude and frequency of the controlling ankle torque caused patients to sway more. When compared to controls, the CFS group showed greater differences than the FM group, indicating a slightly worse overall performance. Correlations between fatigue and postural control but not between pain and postural control suggest that fatigue is the underlying factor in both groups’ poor postural control. There were no statistically significant differences between the patient groups.

Who are the Fifth Internationalists?
What do the Fifth Internationalists fight for?
The League for the Fifth International is a revolutionary organisation. Our goal is to build a world party of socialist revolution, fighting across the world for an end to capitalism and for socialism. We base our programme – From Protest to Power – and our day to day policies on the works of Marx, Engels, Lenin and Trotsky, on the revolutionary documents of the first four congresses of the Third International and the Transitional Programme of the Fourth International published in 1938.
The working class has had four previous working class international parties. We are not the Fifth International – we are an international revolutionary tendency of groups fighting for it. The struggle against capitalism is an international struggle, as Marx wrote in 1848, the working class has no country. The fight against capitalism must be an international one, uniting socialists across the world in resistance to the system.
Twenty years ago with the downfall of "communism" the rulers of the world proclaimed that capitalism was victorious, that no alternative was possible, that a new world order had arrived.
They believed that a tiny handful of billionaires could act as they wished:
• Put entire continents on rations
• Amass vast fortunes while millions still starve
• Turn the fruits of humanity's labour into their private property
• Bomb, blast and blockade any country whose rulers defy their will
• Pump poisons into the atmosphere while the globe burns, the deserts spread and the oceans rise
• Pollute our food, debase our culture and divide our species against itself with racist and religious hatreds
• Make us worship their dollar or their euro, covet their branded banalities, dream their consumer nightmares
• Slander us, tear gas us, beat us, imprison us, shoot us and bomb us if we dare to resist
But the masters of the world celebrated too quickly. As banks collapsed and profit margins shrunk across the world, it seemed that the excitement about globalisation, about every expanding capitalism, was misplaced. For the bankers dream turned into a nightmare - but it is worse for the working class, youth, the poor. Now they want us to pay for their crisis.
The anti capitalist movement showed that there was a new generation of workers and youth willing to fight capitalism. Now the world recession and the subsequent rise in unemployment, poverty and exploitation will show even more people the need to struggle for a different system. It is not the job of the working class to put capitalism back on track - we must overthrow it and end this system once and for all.
• The capitalists property must be expropriated, with not a penny paid to the owners
• Capitalism must be abolished across the globe and a world without class division, state repression, the oppression of women, subject races and nations created. What Marx, Engels, Lenin, Rosa Luxemburg and Trotsky called communism.
• All power must pass from the capitalist cliques into the hands of democratic councils of delegates from the working class, the peasantry and the poor: directly elected by the masses and subject to instant recall. These councils must be supported by the armed working class and its allies.
• The resistance of the exploiters must be broken by the force of millions acting together in a social revolution. Armed workers must forcibly break up the police and army that exist to support the rule of private property.
• All production and distribution must be organised democratically and sustainably, without private ownership and the blind and brutal dictatorship of market forces.
• Social inequality and the underdevelopment of whole continents must be overcome through the planned allocation of humanity's resources: raw materials, means of transportation, communication, technology and labour.
• The 21st century must become the century of human freedom!
There is only one road to this freedom. It is the road of class struggle, the fight against all forms of exploitation: of the workers, the peasants, the urban poor. It is the fight against racism, national oppression, the oppression of women, youth, gays and lesbians. We must give maximum support to all their struggles: to every strike, occupation, picket line and march.
We will aim to bring together in unions the vast numbers of unorganised workers, young workers, those in new industries, and those slaving away in sweatshops without the right to organise.
We fight against imperialism: the great global capitalist powers and corporations that use their vast military machines to pulverise peoples who resist them. We support all resistance to them. We oppose every penny spent and every person sacrificed to its invasions and occupations. We demand an end to the US, the UK and its allies' bloody bombing and enslavement of the Iraqi people. We support the Palestinians in their heroic struggle against national oppression and the racist Israeli state.
We fight the global financial institutions that starve the world: the International Monetary Fund, World Bank and World Trade Organisation. We will resist their plans: austerity programmes, privatisation, and free trade treaties, which enforce submission to multinational corporations. We will chase their congresses and summits across the globe, until they have been abolished once and for all.
We fight against racism, which divides us and acts as an excuse for deep-seated global inequality. We demand equal rights for minorities, an end to all discrimination and an end to the lies of the racists in the mass media and press, which whip up violence against black people, Asians, Latinos, Roma, Jews, and other oppressed nations, religions and ethnic groups.
We fight for full rights of asylum and for the right of all to travel where they want. The capitalists send their money to chase around the world in search of the best return, causing havoc and leaving devastation behind it when it pulls out without a moment's notice. Yet the victims of capital are denied the right of free movement. We fight to break down all borders, to defend refugees and asylum seekers from the capitalists' sinister lies. When fascist and reactionary gangs engage in physical attacks on refugees and minorities, we will not flinch from physical confrontation to drive them back.
We fight to free women from systematic inequality, discrimination, whether open or hidden, consignment to domestic labour, sexual exploitation, low pay, daily abuse and the denial of reproductive rights. We struggle to eliminate the root cause of women's oppression by creating a society in which the work of childrearing, cleaning and cooking are carried out in a rational, planned way, not divided up among billions of families in which the woman is left to do all the unpaid labour.
We fight the catastrophe of climate change and global warming, resisting corporations which pollute the earth, governments that refuse to take action against the emission of greenhouse gases, and policies which put the profits of big oil and the auto industry before the very survival of our species.
We organise young people to fight for their democratic rights: the right to vote at 16, for an end to child labour, for fully funded, free, universal education, under the control of the youth themselves, not in the service of big business. We fight for an end to conscription and militarisation, which prepare the youth for slaughter in our masters' wars.
We oppose reformism and the policy of the labour, socialist, social-democratic and mis-named Communist parties. Capitalism cannot be reformed through peaceful parliamentary means, by elections: it must be overthrown by the masses through force.
We oppose the control of the trade unions by bureaucrats, the privileged officials of the trade unions. These overpaid officials must not control mass organisations; the members should have full democratic control. All officials must be elected, recallable and removable at short notice; they must earn the average pay of the members they claim to represent.
We oppose Stalinism, which was not communism but a dictatorship over the working class by a privileged bureaucratic elite. Though their socialised economies did represent a gain of the working class, without a political revolution to establish democratic planning and workers' control over this ,it was doomed to collapse, eventually.
We reject the failed policies of the official communist parties: the nationalist policy of socialism in one country; the self-defeating policy that the revolution must limit itself to a non-socialist "democratic stage"; the policy that the working class must tie itself to capitalist forces in "patriotic blocs", or "peoples' fronts".
We declare our goals openly and reject all deceitful attempts to mimic reformism in the belief that history or the objective process will do the job that open and honest revolutionaries alone can perform. We oppose the strategy of centrist parties, that zigzag between revolutionary words and reformist practice.
Sharing power with reformist capitalist governments, relying on parties that blur the distinction between reform and revolution is a recipe for confusing the workers at the crucial stage. We fight for the establishment of revolutionary parties in every country.
We reject the passive propaganda of sects that oppose active involvement in the social movements and the daily struggles of the working class. We will forge unity in action and a united front with all working class forces against our common enemy, without renouncing our views or our revolutionary methods.
With our communist goal firmly in our sights, along the road of the class struggle, we propose the unity of all revolutionary forces in a new Fifth International, a party organised across national boundaries to fight for world revolution and a global communist republic: a World Commune.
The capitalists, for all their arrogance, are watching apprehensively as the forces assemble for the great battle of the 21st century: the battle to free humanity from their grip. Certainly those forces have not yet attained the necessary degree of organisation, discipline and clarity to achieve this. But they can and they will - if the new generation of working class fighters can unite to build a new world party of social revolution. For this to happen revolutionaries must dare to proclaim this goal and openly rally the forces to achieve it.
That is what we Fifth Internationalists are doing. If you agree with our goal and our methods, then join us.

15 White House Scandals We’ll Never Forget From 2017
2017 was a doozy of a year in terms of politics. Under Donald Trump’s presidency, the White House has been caught in too many controversial moments to keep track of. While some scandals were as minor as Melania Trump’s footwear, others made us think, “This is the moment that will get Trump impeached.”
The Trump administration may have made it through the year, but it was defined by some outrageous behavior. Here are 15 White House scandals we’ll never forget from 2017.
1. Sean Spicer’s lie about Trump’s inauguration crowd
Despite photographic proof, Sean Spicer insisted that Trump’s inauguration crowd was much larger than it seemed. In fact, he claimed, “This was the largest audience to ever witness an inauguration, period.”
The former White House press secretary said photos were “intentionally framed” to make Trump’s crowd seem smaller. However, a comparison of the exact same aerial angle proved Barack Obama’s crowd was definitely larger — not that Obama felt the need to brag about it.
Next: She wasn’t exactly rushing to the White House.
2. Melania Trump’s late White House arrival
Following her husband’s inauguration, Melania Trump seemed less than eager to relocate to the White House. She stayed behind in New York City for five whole months, which she claimed was to let their son, Barron, finish out his school year.
Not only did this spark suspicion that Melania has no interest in being the first lady, but it cost New York City a ton of money. According to Daily Mail, the cost for the New York Police Department to protect Melania and Barron in their Trump Tower apartment came to approximately $1 million per day.
Next: She got a little too comfortable in the Oval Office.
3. Kellyanne Conway made herself feel at home in the Oval Office
Nobody let Kellyanne Conway’s bad White House etiquette go unnoticed. The AFP news agency posted a photo of Conway sitting on the Oval Office couch with her knees up, shoes off, and looking at her phone.
Although she’s since insisted that she was only trying to get the right angle for a photo of Trump with his guests, it came across as her kicking her feet up and making herself at home in the highly respected office.
Next: He kept his lips sealed … about Russian communication.
4. Jared Kushner sitting on important information
Jared Kushner has a reputation for keeping his lips sealed, so it wasn’t particularly shocking to discover he was sitting on some vital information regarding communication with Russia. Keeping in mind that Kushner is part of the crowd that insists Hillary Clinton had something to hide in her 33,000 deleted emails, he has some explaining to do for his own email scandal.
According to the Senate Judiciary Committee, Kushner’s emails revealed knowledge of Russian officials attempting to reach Trump’s presidential campaign. Kushner has even claimed that he didn’t recall any form of communication between the campaign and WikiLeaks, but his emails revealed that he very clearly knew of Donald Trump Jr.’s contact with the radical transparency organization. Considering WikiLeaks is to blame for releasing stolen emails from the Democratic National Committee, this is some pretty big information for Kushner not to disclose.
On top of all this, Kushner “couldn’t remember” his communication with over 100 foreign officials while applying for national security clearance. His excuse? “A busy schedule and email overload,” according to Vox.
Next: It seems like no one can keep a job in the White House.
5. The constant revolving door
Whether they’ve resigned or been fired, it seems that Trump just can’t keep a steady administration. This particular scandal began with the firing of Sally Yates, Obama’s appointee for attorney general — only ten days after Trump’s inauguration. Fourteen more names have joined the list, such as Sean Spicer, Steve Bannon, and, most recently, Omarosa Manigault. We definitely don’t see this trend slowing down anytime soon.
Next: She wasn’t interested in holding her husband’s hand.
6. Melania’s hand slap
It’s hard not to compare how lovingly the Obamas interacted as the first couple when the Trumps seemingly want nothing to do with each other. In one of the many displays of potential animosity, the president went to hold his wife’s hand when she swatted his hand away. She probably thought no one would notice, but as soon as the moment ended up on Twitter, it went completely viral.
Next: He just can’t stay off of social media.
7. Trump’s Twitter habits
Trump relied heavily on Twitter during the presidential campaign, but once he actually became the president, we wondered if he’d take a step back from social media. Unsurprisingly, he didn’t — and continues to berate anyone he doesn’t agree with on Twitter. That ranges from Hillary Clinton to the media to Kim Jong Un, and everyone in between.
On top of being a Twitter bully, Trump has shared some concerning content with his followers. He retweeted violent anti-Muslim videos, which were originally posted by far-right leader Jayda Fransen of Britain First. British Prime Minister Theresa May condemned Trump as “wrong” for sharing the videos and felt compelled to assure that Britain First does not represent the majority of the British people.
Next: Trump ignored this one rule.
8. Staring directly at the eclipse
During the solar eclipse on Aug. 21, 2017, we were given one rule: Don’t look directly at the sun. And what did Trump do? Look directly at the sun, without any kind of protective eyewear. The president may think he’s the most powerful man in the world, but that doesn’t make him resilient to the potentially blinding eclipse.
CNN’s Ashley Strickland explained, “Any amount of looking at it is too long. Even the smallest amount of exposure can cause blurry vision or temporary blindness. The problem is, you won’t know whether it’s temporary.”
Next: This wasn’t a great way to gain trust.
9. The Trump University lawsuit
Trump may not have outright admitted to defrauding students of Trump University, but the settlement he agreed to says enough. A federal judge approved of the $25 million lawsuit, which includes “payouts to more than 6,000 Trump U students who paid thousands of dollars for courses they describe as worthless,” according to NPR.
The Trump administration is definitely setting records, but not in the way Trump constantly brags about. In August 2017, the president had already been the subject of over 135 lawsuits since taking office, which isn’t exactly the best way to gain the trust of the American people.
Next: Her outfit wasn’t disaster-zone appropriate.
10. Melania’s hurricane-relief stilettos
Following the wave of hurricanes in 2017, everyone wondered when (or if) the Trumps would step in to help. Once the first couple finally boarded a plane to Texas after Hurricane Harvey, we honestly weren’t sure if Melania knew where she was heading to.
Granted, she was looking fabulous in her sky-high stilettos and aviator shades. However, the outfit was far from appropriate while heading to a disaster zone.
Next: Paper towels may not have been the best solution.
11. Trump’s paper towel toss
The Trumps’ questionable hurricane relief efforts didn’t stop there. When Trump visited victims of Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico, he likely offended more than he helped. First, the POTUS completely denounced the disaster, claiming Maria wasn’t “a real catastrophe like Katrina.”
He then went on to literally toss rolls of paper towels into the crowd like he was shooting t-shirts out of a cannon. Paper towels likely weren’t at the top of the priority list for victims, but at the very least, Trump could have personally handed the rolls out instead of tossing them over their heads.
Next: Trump’s actions completely contradict his previous criticism.
12. Trump’s golfing adventures
Before Trump was president, he was Obama’s No. 1 critic for the amount of time he spent on the golf course. He obviously took to Twitter to announce his frustrations, writing in 2014, “Can you believe that, with all of the problems and difficulties facing the U.S., President Obama spent the day playing golf.”
Over Obama’s eight years as president, he played golf a total of 333 times, according to CBS White House correspondent Mark Knoller. Trump, on the other hand, played 92 times during his presidency in 2017, and is “on track to spend 772 days on his courses while in office over eight years, assuming he wins re-election and completes both terms.” We’ll let those numbers speak for themselves.
Next: Trump can’t stop tweeting about Obama.
13. Accusing Obama of wiretapping
Without offering any form of evidence, Trump went on a Twitter tirade over his belief that Obama wiretapped his phones. One of his many tweets read, “How low has President Obama gone to tapp [sic] my phones during the very sacred election process. This is Nixon/Watergate. Bad (or sick) guy!”
Politico explained that his accusations “appear to be based on commentary rising in conservative media circles — and, above all, the president’s own agitation over the metastasizing Russia controversy.”
Whatever the case, a spokesman for Obama made a statement in response:
A cardinal rule of the Obama Administration was that no White House official ever interfered with any independent investigation led by the Department of Justice. As part of that practice, neither President Obama nor any White House official ever ordered surveillance on any U.S. citizen. Any suggestion otherwise is simply false.
Next: His lies to the FBI have caused major damage.
14. Michael Flynn’s false statements
Michael Flynn may have only served as Trump’s national security adviser for less than one month, but he stirred up some major controversy. On Dec. 1, 2017, the U.S. Special Counsel’s Office announced that Flynn pleaded guilty to making false statements to the FBI. Though he previously denied conversations with Sergey Kislyak, the Russian ambassador to the U.S., Flynn has now admitted to them in a plea agreement.
One of the conversations involved Flynn contacting the Russian government, requesting the delay or defeat of a U.N. Security Council resolution. He claimed to have been instructed by an unidentified “very senior member of the Presidential Transition Team.”
Flynn has also admitted to a previously denied conversation with Kislyak, in which they discussed the Obama administration’s announcement of sanctions against Russia. According to Flynn’s plea agreement, he’d “requested that Russia not escalate the situation and only respond to the U.S. Sanctions in a reciprocal manner,” which Russia agreed to.
Next: He has yet to meet the consequences he deserves.
15. Lack of consequence for Trump’s sexual misconduct allegations
In 2017, a number of famous and powerful men finally met the consequences of being accused of sexual misconduct. Many victims have felt empowered to voice their experiences, considering they may no longer feel too alone or frightened to speak up against their offenders.
One man who still has yet to face any consequences of allegations made against him? Trump. According to CNN, at least 15 women have made a range of sexual misconduct allegations against the president.
Rachel Crooks, one of Trump’s accusers, explained that “This was serial misconduct and perversion on the part of Mr. Trump.” She continued, “Unfortunately, this behavior isn’t rare in our society, and people of all backgrounds can be victims. The only reason I am here today is that this offender is now the president of our country.”

Before the year ends, we wanted to look back at our favorite recipes of 2021. Read on below.
The Millennial’s Bagel
What You Will Need:
- One everything bagel
- Chicken Liver Mousse
- Cream cheese
Full of texture and bursting with flavor, perk up your day with this finger-licking-good recipe that lends a modern twist to a classic bagel flavor.
Toast the halves of an everything bagel to a golden, brown color. Spread the cream cheese across the bagel halves (the more the better). Pile high with the Chicken Liver Mousse and chives. Voila!
Made with just six ingredients, this vegan crepe recipe is ridiculously simple— and extraordinarily delicious. All you’ll need is Earthy Mushroom Pâté, chickpeas, diced onion, minced garlic, spinach, and soy sauce.
In a skillet, heat the oil over medium heat and add the diced onion and Earthy Mushroom pâté. Sauté for 3-4 minutes before adding the chickpeas and soy sauce. Stir occasionally.
Fry for a few more minutes and stir in the minced garlic. Toss in the spinach and cook for 1-2 more minutes, then turn off the heat.
Place the filling in a food processor or blender for some seconds, and then spread 1½ to 2 tablespoons of the filling onto a dairy-free crepe. Salt and pepper to taste.
A Pâté-Inspired Grilled Cheese
For an “adult” twist on a grilled cheese you can turn to again and again, gather shredded white cheddar, sliced Swiss, a thick sliced bread, grilled onions, and our Wild Forest Mushroom Pâté.
Butter one side of two slices of bread. Add a thin slice of our Forest Mushroom Pâté, top with a slice of Swiss cheese, a sprinkle of white cheddar cheese, the grilled onions, another slice of Swiss, and finally the other slice of bread. Cook butter-side-down in a nonstick pan until golden brown on each side.
Tomato Pasta Salad
Featuring large chunks of ripe tomatoes, fresh basil, tangy red onion, and Parmesan cheese, Tomato Pasta Salad is a satisfying meal that everyone will love.
For our pâté-inspired version of this recipe, you will need:
- 5 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh basil
- 1/2 cup red onion
- 2 large garlic cloves, chopped
- 1 1/4 pounds tomatoes, chopped
- 8 ounces penne pasta
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 slice of Alexian Pâté de Campagne
In a large bowl, mix the tomatoes, garlic, salt, pepper, oil, basil, red onion, and Parmesan cheese. Cover, then refrigerate for around two hours to blend the flavors. Meanwhile, cook and drain pasta as you would normally. Rinse with cold water to cool; drain. Slice the pâté into small chunks and let it get to room temperature. In a large serving bowl, mix cooked pasta, tomato mixture, and pâté until well combined. Sprinkle extra Parmesan cheese over top, to taste.
Naturally, we saved the best (and most complex in our list) for last.
An iconic dish in the Philippines, Beef Kalderata is a savory beef stew cooked with creamy tomato sauce, fresh vegetables, and liver spread (in our case, pâté). Commonly served on holidays and special occasions, this spicy mainstay is flavorful and tender, offering melt-in-your-mouth meat and soul-satisfying comfort that’s sure to impress.

COMPANY NEWS; Bally Sets A Spinoff To Holders
By JULIA FLYNN SILER, Special to the New York Times
Published: August 12, 1988
CHICAGO, Aug. 11— Under mounting pressure from investors to improve its financial performance, the Bally Manufacturing Corporation announced a plan today to spin off its hotel and casino businesses to its stockholders as a tax-free special dividend.
The move, which had been widely anticipated on Wall Street, was approved by Bally's board at a meeting in New York today. The dividend will consist of one share of common stock of the new hotel and casino company for each share of Bally Manufacturing.
After the spinoff, Bally Manufacturing would consist of the company's holdings in health and fitness clubs, its lottery business and amusement arcades, with total revenue of $855 million in 1987. In addition, the company plans to keep as much as 15 percent of the common stock of the new hotel and casino company, which posted revenues of $875 million for 1987. Bally said each of the companies is expected to post more than $1 billion in revenue for this year. Simpler Structure
A company spokesman said the plan represented an effort to simplify the company's structure and permit the price of each of the publicly traded stocks to ''more accurately reflect Bally's underlying values, including cash flow, net income, and earnings per share.''
Bally's stock has more than doubled from its 52-week low of $10.50 in October, in part because of the speculation that a restructuring was imminent. However, analysts noted that the company's stock has lagged in recent years, dragged down by Bally's spotty record with new ventures and internal disputes over the long-term direction of the company.
Less than two years ago, the company faced a struggle for control with Donald J. Trump, the real estate developer. But the company bought back Mr. Trump's 9.9 percent stake in the company for a premium. Market Anticipated Move
Some analysts said that the announcement today was unlikely to lift Bally's stock much higher. ''There's been plenty of speculation about such a move, and it may have been discounted already,'' said Harold L. Vogel, an analyst with Merrill Lynch Capital Markets in New York.
Mr. Vogel added that Bally's health and fitness clubs might have reached a peak in their revenue growth, coinciding with the waning of the fitness craze and that the company's hotel and casino businesses were facing strong competition in an oversaturated market.
He also criticized the company's diversification strategy. ''They tried to mix apples and oranges and the result was the company never really got the multiple that they'd sought,'' he said.
In the early 1980's, Bally started buying a string of health club, theme park, and lottery companies. Under the direction of its chairman, Robert E. Mullane, Bally diversified from the video game business by buying the Six Flags Corporation, the theme park operator, and the Health and Tennis Corporation.
The Chicago-based company's net income climbed nicely from 1980 to 1982, when it earned $90.9 million. But in 1983, its earnings dropped sharply, to $5.1 million, and in 1984 after writing off much of the company's video game unit, it posted a $100.4 million loss. Entry Into Gambling
Mr. Mullane then decided to enter the gambling business. In 1986, Bally bought MGM Grand Hotels, the owner of casinos in Las Vegas and Reno, Nev., from Kirk Kerkorian for $575 million. Two months later, it acquired the 16 percent interest it did not already own in Atlantic City's Bally Park Place.
Bally's casinos attracted Donald Trump's attention. Interested in expanding his own holdings, Mr. Trump acquired a 9.9 percent stake in Bally in 1987. Bally countered by acquiring Golden Nugget Inc.'s Atlantic City casino and scattered real estate holdings for about $400 million.
Although the move succeeded in foiling Mr. Trump - New Jersey law prohibits firms from owning more than three casinos in Atlantic City and Bally eventually bought back Mr. Trump's stake - it burdened Bally with additional debt. Mr. Mullane was also criticized by analysts for overpaying for Golden Nugget. Divisions Bought and Sold
Those purchases were partly offset by the sale of its Six Flags theme park to the Wesray Capital Corporation for about $600 million. Earlier this year, the company unsuccessfully attempted to sell the Health & Tennis Corporation, and last month Bally agreed to sell its coin-operated game manufacturing division for $8 million.
The company's financial results have begun to improve. In the six months ended June 30, Bally's revenues climbed nearly 14 percent, to $940 million from $811.1 million in the comparable period last year. Its income from continuing operations was $23 million, compared with a loss of $17 million in 1987.
Yet Wall Street continues to regard Bally as a potential takeover target, and estimates its breakup value minus its debt at as much as $1 billion, or $35 a share. Skeptics counter that state regulations governing the ownership of casinos would make it difficult for a buyer.


State Department of Fish and Wildlife employees soon will begin shooting emaciated elk that are suffering from hoof disease under a complex, new procedure. And dozens of volunteers will be asked to help count limping elk this spring as the agency continues it research on the disease afflicting many elk in Southwest Washington.
Biologists also will fit cow elk with radio collars and track them for years to see what happens to those with and without hoof disease.
The department staff discussed their next steps on dealing with hoof disease during meeting last week of officials and citizens who make up the Elk Hoof Disease Public Working Group.
Starting this spring, Department of Fish and Wildlife employees will put down elk with hoof rot, but only if they are severely emaciated, unable to stand or two or more hooves are severely affected, according to a draft of the euthanasia procedure. At first, only agency employees will carry out the euthanasia “to make sure it works,” said Sandra Jonker, regional wildlife manager.
Later, Master Hunters (who have taken a special class) will help with disposing of the carcasses, on site if possible. The department tells hunters that it’s OK to eat the meat from most elk with hoof disease, but the animals that will be euthanized are expected to be in such poor condition that their meat won’t be edible, Jonker said.
Despite widespread reports of elk that are limping with misshapen hooves in Southwest Washington, biologists don’t know what percentage of the herds are affected. To find out, a major counting effort is scheduled for March and April.
Volunteers will be asked to drive roads throughout Southwest Washington and count limping and non-limping elk. During a small trial run last summer, 13 percent of the elk were limping, though the results of the larger study could be significantly different, Jonker said.
Training sessions for volunteers will be held in early March, though dates haven’t been scheduled.
Most of the hoof rot survey routes are on public land, but the agency is hoping to get permission to survey private timberlands, too, Jonker said.
In another line of research, starting next month biologists will fit several cow elk — 60 with hoof rot and 20 that appear healthy — with radio collars and track them for four years. Biologists hope to learn how hoof disease affects survival and whether the disease affects the birth rate.
The agency will track only cows because “it comes down to adult female survival” when determining whether herds stay at desired levels, said Brock Hoenes, the agency’s statewide elk specialist.
The elk will be captured in nets dropped from helicopters. Hoenes said it would take much longer to trap the elk in less stressful ways to get the collars on them.
In response to questions from working group members, Jerry Nelson, WDFW deer and elk section manager, said the agency won’t know how many people hunted elk last season until next month, after reports from hunters have been submitted.
Statewide, hunting license sales were up last year but no breakdown by county is available.
Mark Smith, owner of Eco Park on Spirit Lake Memorial Highway and a member of the working group, said that fewer hunters came to the Toutle area last season.
“We were severely down last year — over 50 percent,” he said.
Several people who commented suggested that the use of herbicides on private forest lands is linked to hoof disease.
The disease “is concentrated on one timber company’s land,” said Bruce Barnes of Vancouver, referring to Weyerhaeuser.
Gene Crocker, a member of the Cowlitz Game & Anglers Club, said herbicides may kill plants that are beneficial to elk, making them more susceptible to disease. “You’d better start talking to timber companies about that spray,” Crocker said.
Jonker said the state hasn’t seen any evidence that herbicide use causes hoof disease.
“I think if you’re looking for a smoking gun you’re not going to find one,” said Bob Schlecht, owner of Bob’s Sporting Goods. “It’s going to be a combination of factors.”


On Friday September 15, between the hours of 6 a.m. and 7 a.m., there will be a short outage of the telephone system. The system will need to be shut down and restarted during this timeframe, so there will be a temporary loss of communication. The system will return to normal after this brief interruption.
Questions or concerns? Please contact Mark Siegfried in the Telecommunications Department at ext. 1831 or firstname.lastname@example.org. Thank you in advance for your patience and cooperation.

ROURKELA: A 19-year-old woman has allegedly been gang-raped by two persons including the husband of a woman sarpanch inside Jhirpani gram panchayat office in Sundargarh district.
She mustered courage to file a complaint in Jhairpani police station after a week on Thursday.

On July 4, she had visited the gram panchayat office to inquire about the availability of subsidised rice but was sent back on the ground that rice distribution would take place after three days.
However, within a short time, the woman sarpanch’s husband Ajay Xalxo along with one Rajesh Toppo, both in their 40s, came to her house and asked her to come to the office to collect rice.
When she reached the office, they allegedly took her to an isolated corner of the building and raped her, IIC Raison Murmu said.
A case under section 376(D) IPC was registered by police even as the alleged culprits are yet to be arrested.


In the shortest possible form, the Linux boot sequence looks something like this:
1. Computer gets powered on, BIOS runs whatever it finds in the Master Boot Record (MBR), usually lilo or GRUB
2. lilo, in turn, starts up the Linux kernel
3. The Linux kernel starts up the primal process, init. Since init is always started first, it always has PID of 1.
4. init then runs your boot scripts, also known as "rc files". These are similar in concept to DOS's autoexec.bat and config.sys, if those had been developed to a fine art. These rc files, which are generally shell scripts, spawn all the processes that make up a running Unix system.
One interesting consequence of this multi-step booting process is that it's very flexible. Once lilo has been loaded, and control over the boot process has been passed to it, it can run any sort of arbitrary (but self-contained) program that you'd care to run. This means that you can use lilo to boot into multiple operating systems.
Once lilo has started to run whatever operating system you've chosen (Linux would be a good choice ;-), it is no longer running.The lilo config file is usually located at /etc/lilo.conf; and you can find the grub.conf in /boot/grub/grub.conf remember to run the lilo command after editing it to save your changes to the master boot record on disk.
The next step in the Linux boot process is for the Linux kernel to run. This does all sorts of things, but the most important thing that we're interested in is that kernel spawns a copy of init, the First Process. Being the First Process, init will be assigned a PID of 1.
init is in charge of starting all of the normal processes that a running Linux system needs, including the mingetty processes that give your virtual consoles (ALT-F1 through ALT-F6 on most default Linux installations), starting up any needed services (like networking), and anything else that you might want to do while booting. These are controlled by shell scripts known as "rc files", which are started by commands in the init config file. The config file is usually located at /etc/inittab, and you'll have to tell init to re-read its config file by running telinit q as root. You can find a lot more information on this under the man pages for inittab and init (man inittab and man init).
There are two types of rc files that could be used: System V style or BSD style. Most Linux distributions use System V system, so that is what will be covered here. In general, System V rc files are considered more powerful than BSD ones, at the expense of simplicity. BSD rc files are generally stored in the /etc directory, while System V expects to find its files in the/etc/rc.d directory (and any subdirectories from there).
The idea behind System V rc files is that you may want to boot in different ways. For example, you may want to boot into single-user mode to fix a hard drive problem, or you may want regular multi-user console mode, or perhaps you want to boot straight to the X window system. All of these different types of boot sequences can be automated into "run levels"; Red Hat's convention is:
* Run Level 1 (directory: /etc/rc.d/rc1.d) - Single user mode
* Run Level 2 (directory: /etc/rc.d/rc2.d) - Same as 3, but without NFS
* Run Level 3 (directory: /etc/rc.d/rc3.d) - Regular multi-user and networking mode
* Run Level 4 (directory: /etc/rc.d/rc4.d) - Unused
* Run Level 5 (directory: /etc/rc.d/rc5.d) - Same as 3, but boots straight to the X window system
Of course, this convention is arbitrary and other distributions can (and do!) vary. The most common variations are for run level 2 to be the default mode (but have it operate the same as run level 3 in the chart above), and for X to be run level 4 rather than 5. There is also a special run level 6 that isn't really a run level, its a shortcut for rebooting.
Note: To change the run level that you're operating under, use the telinit command. For example, for a quick reboot, you can use telinit 6. Naturally, you have to be root to do this.
Note: The default runlevel is decided in /etc/inittab. The line that controls it looks like this: id:3:initdefault:
Inside the /etc/rc.d/init.d directory are all of the shell scripts that do the actual work. The rc#.d directories simply contain symbolic links to the scripts in the init.d directory.
In the /etc/rc.d directory there is also a file called rc.local, which is the rc file that init will run after everything else is done. You can add simple things to the end of it if you don't want to go through the process of setting up a full script in the /etc/rc.d/init.d directory, but it's not a good idea if you want an easy to understand and consistent boot process.
Knowing a bit about how the System V boot process works now, it's easer to understand how the boot sequence operates:
* Once the Linux kernel has been loaded by lilo, it looks in "all the usual places" for init and runs the first copy it finds
* In turn, init runs the shell script found at /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit
* Next, rc.sysinit does a bunch of necessary things to make System V rc files possible
* init then runs all the scripts for the default runlevel
o It knows the default run level by examing /etc/inittab
o Symbolic links to the real scripts (in /etc/rc.d/init.d) are kept in each of the run level directories (/etc/rc.d/rc1.d through rc6.d)
* Lastly, init runs whatever it finds in /etc/rc.d/rc.local (regardless of run level). rc.local is rather special in that it is executed every time that you change run levels.
Note: There's some trickery in how the symbolic links in the rc#.d directories work. Link names that start with an "S" are scripts that "started", while links that begin with a "K" are scripts that are "killed", or stopped. The number that follows is simply a way to determine the order that the scripts run in: lower numbered scripts run first.
Note: There's also some trickery done with rc.sysinit for a file called rc.serial, used to set up your serial ports, but the file does not exist by default on most Linux distributions and is not often used.

Ice cream is a popular dessert, which owes its sensorial properties (mouth feel) to its complex microstructure. The microstructure is a result of the combination of the ingredients and the production process. Ice cream is produced by simultaneous freezing and shearing of the ice cream mix, which results in the formation of ice crystals, air bubbles and a viscous serum phase. The amount and the size of the ice crystals and air bubbles have significant contributions to the mouth feel, the melting behavior, ease of spooning, etc. It also affects the shelf-life of the products. Therefore, control of the particle size and volume fraction is crucial. The ice crystals have a large influence on the hardness of the ice cream. The particle size, which is normally in the range of 30–50 µm, determines the degree of coldness, which can be controlled by the temperature of the production process. A wide particle distribution will have a negative influence on the shelf-life, as Ostwald ripening and recrystallization will occur more often. Once the recrystallization processes lead to the growth of larger ice crystals above 100 µm, the ice cream will feel icy and gritty. Therefore, to increase mouth feel and shelf-life, a narrow size distribution of small ice crystals is preferred. The air bubbles, in the size range of 20–50 µm, provide the softness and decrease the coldness of the ice cream, and are usually present in high volume fractions. Due to a high volume fraction, the air bubbles are in close proximity, thereby enhancing coalescence. Once coalescence has led to the increase in air bubble size and the formation of channels, the air can escape and the ice cream collapses. Ostwald ripening, due to a wide particle size distribution, will enhance this effect. Once the air has escaped, the ice cream will become harder. As the air is non-conductive, the presence of air slows down the heat transfer, leading to a warmer mouth feel for ice cream with a high volume fraction of air. The collapse of the ice cream will therefore also change the mouth feel from a slightly warmer to a colder ice cream. To increase the shelf-life and mouth feel, the air bubbles should be stabilized. This can be accomplished by coating the air bubbles with fat globules. During the production process, the fat globules will partially coalesce, thereby forming a fat layer around the air bubbles. The process is enhanced by a decrease in fat globule size (to sizes below a micrometer), which is controlled by homogenization of the ice cream mix. To enhance shelf-life and control mouth feel, the particle size and its distribution is important for all elements in the ice cream.

I went this morning to a photo outing with some good friends of mine here in the streets of NewTown, at Johannesburg. This place has been recently rehabilitated and is now a very pleasant place with a new mall et new buildings.
A festival fair was occurring today so the place was very busy with many people attending a kind of city marathon and many other activities. The sky was perfectly blue and temperature just perfect to walk, not too hot, not too cold!
Taking pictures couldn’t have been more pleasant!
I was told that this place was not really safe 1 year ago, but all the area around lifted up, the police is around to watch and you can safely walk now. People are very kind and you can talk with everyone!
Definitely a place to go!

Family asks GoFundMe aid, says mentally ill son beat mom
BOSSIER CITY, La. (AP) — A northwest Louisiana woman is asking for help with her mother’s medical expenses, saying her mentally ill brother “brutally attacked” their parents.
Bossier (BOH-zher) City police say $1.1 million bond has been set for 37-year-old John Byrd, who was arrested on charges of attempted murder of 67-year-old Katherine Byrd, known as Kay.
Police say her husband, 68-year-old Thomas Byrd suffered minor injuries in the attack Dec. 5.
KTBS-TV reports (http://bit.ly/2hCjiwG ) that Annie Byrd Hartman has created a GoFundMe account, saying her mother remains unresponsive with “massive brain injury.”
Kay Byrd is a former Bossier Parish School Board member. According to Hartman’s account, her brother went into a psychotic rage after a week without sleep or medication.
Hartman says she hopes to lift some of her father’s financial burden.

SamMobile has reportedly acquired a press photo and possible specs for an upcoming 8-inch version of the Samsung Galaxy 3 tablet. It looks nearly identical to the 7.0 version that was officially announced at the end of April save for a thinner bezel and a different sensor layout. The specs, if accurate, seem to be a bit beefier than the 7.0 model too.
According to the leaked specs, the Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 will have an 8-inch WXGA (1280 x 800) TFT screen, a dual-core SoC clocked at 1.5 GHz, 1 GB of RAM, 16 GB of internal storage, and a microSD card slot for an extra 64 GB. There will be a 5MP camera on the back, a 1.3MP camera on the front, Bluetooth 4.0 and dual-band Wireless N connectivity, and a 4450 mAh battery. The dimensions will be 8.24 x 4.81 x 0.27 inches.
The specs also show that Samsung will follow the 7-inch version and launch two models: a Wi-Fi only version and a 3G model. This latter SKU will be compatible with EDGE (850/900/1800/1900), HSPA+42 Mbps, and HSUPA 5.76 Mbps (850/900/1900/2100) networks. Other specs include A-GPS and USB 2.0.
By comparison, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 will sport a 7-inch TFT screen with a 1024 x 600 resolution, a dual-core SoC clocked at 1.2 GHz, 1 GB of RAM, 8 GB or 16 GB of internal storage (depending on your budget), and a microSD card slot for adding up to 64 GB of additional storage. There will also be a 3MP camera on the back, a 1.3MP camera on the front, Bluetooth 4.0 and dual-band wireless N connectivity, and a 4000 mAh battery. The dimensions will be 7.40 x 4.37 x 0.39 inches.
"Its compact, one-hand grip form factor ensures users can hold comfortably for hours as well as store in a pocket or small bag for reading and entertainment on the go," the company said. "The sleek and stylish design encompasses thinner bezel than the previous Galaxy Tab 2 (7.0)."
Samsung also said last month that the Galaxy Tab 3 7-inch Wi-Fi only version will be available globally beginning May, and then a 3G version will follow in June. The product availability varies by market and will be rolled out gradually, Samsung said. This unannounced 8-inch variant is expected to be revealed by Samsung before the end of June.

A Western Sale From Arthur H. Clark
Summer Clearance Sale from Arthur H. Clark.
By Michael Stillman
Catalogue 921 is similar yet different from the typical one issued by The Arthur H. Clark Company. It is similar in being filled with items of primarily western Americana. For those who are counting, there are 444 pieces in all. What is not typical is that this is a summer clearance catalogue. All items are discounted 25%, provided you order by September 15. Therefore, we recommend that you stop procrastinating and place that order today. Here are just a few of the items you will find on sale through September 15.
Items 4-11 are a series of interesting state and city guides, prepared by the Federal Writers' Project of the Works Progress Administration. This may seem an unusual source for such information, but during the Depression, scholars, like everyone else, often found themselves unemployed. Just as the government, through the WPA, put laborers to work building roads and the like, it put writers and scholars to work writing books. Most of these works were created in the late 1930s. By the time the War rolled around, the government had more pressing needs for its scholars, as soldiers. Guides offered in this catalogue are for Connecticut, Mississippi, Montana, Rhode Island, Vermont, New Orleans, and Washington, D.C. Priced from $40 to $75.
Going back almost a century earlier, you can read about the Deep South in Flush Times of Alabama and Mississippi, by Joseph Baldwin. This is a humorous look at life in these rural states from a lawyer (lawyers were evidently humorous at that time) recently arrived from the sophisticated state of Virginia. However, if you think the "flush" part is some sort of potty humor, the book was published in 1853, when even Virginians were relegated to using outhouses or emptying their chamber pots on the street below. Item 15. $75.
Buffalo Bill, William Cody for those being more formal, was a scout for the U.S. military in the west in the years after the Civil War. At least, this was his occupation for a few years, and by all accounts, he was very good at this profession. Some people think that if he had spent more time with Seventh Cavalry than with the Fifth, Custer would have died an obscure old man, rather than a legendary young one. However, scouting was the brief part of Bill's career. Most of it was spent as a showman, touring the world with his Wild West Show, an exaggerated if not downright fictional picture of the Old West. Item 246 is a 1919 biography by Mrs. Buffalo Bill, technically Louisa Frederici Cody, entitled Memories of Buffalo Bill, by his wife. $35.
A Western Sale From Arthur H. Clark
Bathhouse John Coughlin (right) and Hinky Dink Kenna.
Item 49 is John D. Weaver's Carnation: The First 75 Years 1899-1974. This is a thorough history of the company that brought us evaporated milk. It is a piece that proves that items that excite some collectors might appear totally uninteresting to others. $23.50. Or how about Autobiography of Perry Whiting: Pioneer Building Material Merchant of Los Angeles? Mr. Whiting was undoubtedly a fascinating person, but he certainly was not able to choose an exciting title for his book. Just plain "Pioneer" would have been more enticing than "Pioneer Building Material Merchant." Oh well. This copy is inscribed by the author and is still only $40. Item 151.
Now here is a title that can bring tears to your eyes: The History of Dentistry in Missouri. Please, don't show me. This gem was published in 1938, which I believe precedes the invention of novocaine. It includes the dentists' code of ethics, which I think at the time required no one leave the office without first experiencing excruciating pain. Perhaps this book can help you relive those "good old days." Item 325. $45.
Here's a book for those who like to track down ghost towns. The book is Ghost Towns of the West, by William Carter. The book was published in 1971, which should be very helpful for finding these towns, as deterioration over the past 34 years has likely been substantial for many. It includes both photographs of the towns from when they were inhabited, as well as current ones as of 1971. Maps and directions are also provided so you can explore. Item 20. $30.
Here is a strange title that may intrigue or repulse you: Lords of the Levee: The Story of Bathhouse John and Hinky Dink. Whoever or whatever you may think this book is about, it turns out that these two were Chicago aldermen from the late 19th century almost to the middle of the 20th. They were old-time political bosses whose behavior would be considered corrupt today. It wasn't even considered that savory in the era of big city political machines. The two were also noted for throwing an annual ball that was a spectacle of debauchery, until forced to close it down after 1908's rendition. Nonetheless, the two were re-elected in the First Ward (the Levee) repeatedly for many years, one or the other or both holding office from 1892, when Bathhouse John Coughlin was first elected, until the survivor, Hinky Dink Kenna, died in 1946. Item 94 was published in 1943, while Kenna (though not Coughlin) was still alive. $26.
Item 404 is a history of pioneer life around Roswell, New Mexico. This goes back to the days before aliens discovered Roswell. Today, everything in Roswell seems to have an alien theme, though the only aliens around there are the ones who recently crossed the border. The book is Reminiscences of Roswell Pioneers, by James Shinkle. $55.

Rosa Parks’ childhood brought her early experiences with racial discrimination and activism for racial equality. Rosa earned her high school degree in 1933. She soon became actively involved in civil rights issues by joining the Montgomery chapter of the NAACP in 1943.
On December 1, 1955, after a long day's work at a Montgomery department store, where she worked as a seamstress, Rosa Parks boarded the Cleveland Avenue bus for home. As the bus Rosa was riding continued on its route, it began to fill with white passengers. The bus driver eventually demanded that Parks give up her seat, but she refused and was later arrested at the scene. Parks’ refusal to surrender her seat to a white passenger on a Montgomery, Alabama bus spurred a city-wide boycott. The combination of legal action, backed by the unrelenting determination of the African-American community, made the 381-day Montgomery Bus Boycott one of the largest and most successful mass movements against racial segregation in history.

Juicy, vibrant and bursting with flavour: tomatoes are one classic ingredient that we can’t get enough of. From those little red cherry tomatoes that are perfect in fresh salads, to sundried tomatoes that jazz up risotto, and slow-roasted heirloom tomatoes that blend to create a fragrant soup, tomatoes are a truly special produce.
In fact, it’s so special that it has a whopping two weeks dedicated to it – and we’re not complaining! Every year, the British Tomato Growers’ Association puts a spotlight on the produce with the British Tomato Fortnight, hosted from 25th May-7th June, 2020. At a time like this, it’s especially important to celebrate local produce, and to support the farmers and growers who are working particularly hard during the current climate to continue producing high-quality tomatoes for all of us to enjoy. We perhaps take for granted that we’ll always have access to ripe and juicy tomatoes, so now is a great time to just give thanks to those who help put those delicious tomatoes on our plates, to find out what makes British tomatoes so special, and of course, to discover exciting recipes to make the most of this brilliant vegetable.
Before we get into things, let’s clear the air. Is tomato a fruit? Or is it a vegetable? Well, it doesn’t truly matter to us because tomatoes still taste delicious, but they are, in fact, fruits as they contain seeds!
Types of tomatoes
When it comes to varieties, the main ones you’ll find in shops in the UK are classic tomatoes, cherry and cocktail tomatoes, plum and baby plum tomatoes, beef tomatoes and vine or truss tomatoes. Each variety has its own special characteristic and flavour. Classic tomatoes are ideal for salads and barbecues, plum tomatoes are the ultimate pizza topping, and beef tomatoes are perfect for stuffing and roasting.
Tomatoes aren’t only delicious, they’re healthy too! These vibrant fruits are a good source of vitamins A, C and E, as well as carotenoids (a natural plant pignment that acts as an antioxidant for humans) and flavonoids. Tomatoes also contain potassium, which is said to help lower blood pressure, as well as calcium, which is essential for healthy bones and teeth.
Growing your own tomatoes
You may think that bursting tomatoes that bask in the sun are an image strictly limited to the Mediterranean landscape, but actually growing your own tomatoes in the UK is easy and perfectly doable, even in our chillier and wetter climate. They’re ideal for first-time growers, too, as the plants are easy to get going, quick to reach maturity and once they start producing their flavoursome fruits, there’s no stopping them! You don’t have to have a huge garden either, as there’s a variety to fit every space: compact cherry tomatoes for hanging baskets by the front door; vigorous-growing vine toms for both greenhouse and outdoor cultivation in pots, grow bags or in the ground. For a step-by-step guide on growing and cultivating tomatoes at home, our sister title, Grow Your Own, has you covered.
How to support local producers
One of the best ways to support British farmers, growers and producers, is simply to purchase their products! There’s no doubt that our reliance on imported produce is ever-present, but when delicious varieties are produced right here in the UK, choosing British means we can enjoy tomatoes that are fresher, riper and in turn, more nutritious. Whether you’re at a market, zero-waste shop or supermarket chain, keep an eye out for products marked with a Union Jack flag, which identifies produce grown in the UK.
Julie Woolley of the British Tomato Growers’ Association said: “Unlike other tomatoes, British tomatoes differ in the sense that British tomato growers actively use a natural means of pest and disease control, as well as growing their tomatoes in glasshouses, protected from the outside and the cold, yet still able to soak up the sunshine. As British growers supply the ‘local market’, this means the tomatoes stay on the plant for longer, develop the best flavour, and are as fresh as they could possibly be. Four out of five tomatoes now eaten in the UK are imported, so it is no coincidence that people complain about the lacklustre taste of tomatoes, with the consensus being that they don’t taste like they used to. Whilst there are some great growers across Europe, their tomatoes have to travel overseas, which simply means they aren’t as fresh. However, by buying British, you regain the super sweet, juicy, wonderful taste. And please don’t refrigerate your tomatoes – this spoils their flavour, where tomatoes are concerned!”
Okay, now that our mouths are watering, here are some zesty tomato-based recipes for you to celebrate the British fruit…
