It’s been more than a week since we heard about the orders out of Gunnison and we are still wondering what to make of them. Early in April, the county of our neighbor to the north issued a public health directive that states that “all nonresidents, including nonresident homeowners,” are prohibited from remaining in Gunnison County for the duration of the pandemic. It continued:
“The public health director finds that nonresidents, visitors and nonresident homeowners from lower altitudes are at a greater risk for complications from COVID-19 infection than residents, who are acclimatized to the high-altitude environment of Gunnison County. The public Health director also finds that nonresidents, regardless of whether they own a residence in Gunnison County, are imposing unnecessary burdens on health care, public services, first responders, food supplies and other essential services.” They must “return to their out-of-Gunnison County place(s) of residence immediately.”
Cities, towns and counties are taking similar steps as the virus spreads. There is a growing fear of outsiders, which has posed problems in the Intermountain West because it is the same outsiders, as tourists, recreationists and homeowners, who have contributed mightily to the economies of cities such as Gunnison, as well as Moab, Utah, which also has asked nonresidents to leave, and Silverton. The idea must be that we will welcome them back in better times and beseech them to return, but it leaves a bitter taste.
This is not new for Gunnison. In the flu pandemic of 1918, the county erected barricades on the main highways near its lines and travelers were told to either traverse the county without stopping or be sent to quarantine. The flu killed about 8,000 people in Colorado. Gunnison was mostly spared.
After Gunnison ordered the expulsion of nonresidents now, the Texas attorney general sent a letter to Gunnison County saying “its patent discrimination against nonresident homeowners – including Texans who own homes in Gunnison County – runs afoul of the United States Constitution.”
Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser, in an April 10 statement published under the heading “Don’t Mess with Colorado,” said Gunnison County’s order “applies equally to Colorado and non-Colorado residents who own second homes or are visiting in the community and seeks to address the needs of the community to respond to this pandemic. Any suggestion that (the) order violates the U.S. Constitution is misguided.”
Gunnison did not say the flatlanders were Texans or that they had to go back to Texas, although Texas was not wrong to hear it. The county, which has been hit hard by COVID-19 cases, should be able to take even seemingly extreme measures, like Moab’s and Silverton’s, to try to keep itself safe – but it is also hard to imagine that many Texans after this will be as interested in buying property or spending money there.
Mostly it has not come to that for communities such as ours in Southwest Colorado and we are glad, as we are already in the position of wrecking our own economies to keep ourselves healthier. We welcome and mostly tolerate all those people with Texas and California plates because we have something they do not, which makes us feel good about ourselves even as the goods and services they buy and the taxes they pay help us to keep these places as oases, away from the problems of the Lone Star and Golden states.
In Florida, the Keys have effectively been closed to outsiders. The Washington Post recently quoted a Keys resident, Anna Kovach, who supported the closure but observed, “These are things you see in the movies, but I guess we’re living through it.”
Yes, Anna, we are – and now we are hoping we can live to forget it.

Southbound lanes on Bayshore Blvd. in Port St. Lucie still closed
Money pumped into the Martin County economy @ this difficult time is especially welcome. Unfortunately, the extreme community raucous noise (and attendant ear damage), flagrant alcoholism, speeding, stoplight and stop sign running is not worth the possible risk of human life. Florida East Coast Railroad has repeatedly stated that the RR crossing in downtown Jensen Beach is the most dangerous in their entire system. A derailing will happen sooner or later! No buildings are sprinkled in downtown JB, except maybe the horrible monstrosity of the community center. I suggest the Martin County Commissioners take the above concerns and the tinderbox construction of the entire JB downtown under consideration for public safety and huge financial responsibility reasons! All major activities and festivals need to be moved to safer locations in the future. Consult your lawyers! Maybe you have deeper pockets than we citizens know about. Heaven help us!

Southport on top in schools regatta on the Clarence
ROWING: The Clarence River was once again flooded with colour as more than 20 individual schools descended for the annual Head of the River Regatta at the weekend.
While the event was jam packed with both local and interstate talent including regular champions Brisbane Boys and The Southport School it was a school with an international flavour who scooped the pool.
Kings College, Auckland brought about 10 rowers across the ditch and went to town on the competition claiming nearly every event they entered.
"They came over and just blew the regatta apart,” regatta chairman Neville Doughan said.
"It was unbelievable, everything they went in they won it outright from the doubles, the pairs, the quad all the way to the single scull. I think we saw the future of New Zealand's elite rowing ranks out there.”
But the one event they did not claim was the blue ribbon Championship Schoolboy Eight race which was taken out by The Southport School who also managed to clinch the overall point score on the day for the first time.
"The quality of rowing was unbelievable,” Doughan said.
The event still manages to attract a healthy number of people to town providing a welcome boost to the local economy.
The regatta would be a shadow of itself without the support of the Grafton rowing club and Doughan passed on his thanks to the many volunteers who helped make it another success.

The acidity of the oceans is increasing. CO2, released in great amounts by human activity and partly captured by the world’s seas, is implicated. Scientists are now getting organised in an effort to understand the impact of this phenomenon on marine ecosystems, for they are facing a daunting technological challenge: they must set up a laboratory on the seabed to measure the effect of ocean acidification on the species living there
A quarter of the CO2 released by human activity, which builds up in the atmosphere, is absorbed by the oceans, causing a drop in their pH. This acidification threatens to disrupt the balance of ecosystems. By dissolving the calcium carbonate normally present in ocean waters, it endangers organisms that use it to build their skeletons; at the same time, certain algae that metabolize CO2 to grow could gain the upper hand. Scientists are trying to accurately quantify this impact.
The FOCE concept
Experiments are customarily performed in the laboratory on organisms isolated from their natural environment in aquariums. But these artificial conditions cannot account for the complexity of the exchanges in underwater ecosystems.
A new solution began to take shape in 2003, at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI), in California. Inspired by experiments on terrestrial plants, marine chemistry researcher Peter Brewer invented a new technological concept: the direct study of the effects of acidification on marine organisms on the seabed by enriching the ocean waters locally with CO2, what he calls “FOCE”, for Free Ocean CO2 Enrichment.
An innovative technical solution
Since then, the MBARI team, in a collaborative effort between scientists and engineers led by Peter Brewer and William Kirkwood, has developed a complex submersible system. An open enclosure, placed on the seabed and connected to a submerged relay station, provides a highly regulated local flow of CO2, recreating controlled acidification of the water within its confines. This means that biologists can study the effect produced in situ on marine species in their natural environment.
An open source technology
MBARI is now making its expertise and technology available to the scientific community at large as an open source system known as “xFOCE”, thus giving researchers on various continents, who wish to measure the effects of ocean acidification, a substantial technical head start. It will be up to each of the teams to adapt this basic system to the environment studied (in terms of depth, temperature, salinity, etc.).
An xFOCE community has thus come into being under the leadership of MBARI. Scientists are starting projects in all latitudes: in the United States (deep FOCE), Australia (cp-FOCE), Europe (eFOCE) and Antarctica (Antarctic FOCE). This sharing of experience designed to foster technical advances is already bearing fruit. The initial results, obtained on the Great Barrier Reef and published in the prestigious journal Nature in May 2012, provide a convincing demonstration of the system’s efficacy.

For essentially the most a part of the final week, regardless of a brand new 12 months and new week knocking on the crypto sector’s door, the bigger market has been kind of in a consolidation section. Over the previous few days, Bitcoin has remained fairly complacent across the $50,000 stage giving option to altcoins to rally.
Whereas Defi tokens like YFI, UNI, and AAVE noticed some first rate positive factors Metaverse tokens like Decentraland (MANA), Axie Infinity and The Sandbox have been relatively quiet. Nevertheless, on the time of writing, Enjin Coin (ENJ) appeared in direction of a restoration noting greater each day positive factors than the bigger market. So, why was ENJ rallying, and will this help Metaverse tokens’ trajectory?
Enjin’s engine working robust?
Effectively, till the third quarter, a lot of the aforementioned Metaverse tokens strictly adhered to the broader market development. However now, a few different elements are accountable for the sudden rise in worth for Enjin because the bigger market appears to be like comparatively weak. Lately, Enjin coin’s Efinity had received Polkadot’s sixth parachain public sale garnering over 7.7 million DOT tokens contributed by over 20,000 neighborhood members which have pushed the narrative for ENJ pumping costs.
In tandem with costs, social volumes for ENJ rose despite the fact that they have been nonetheless decrease as in comparison with the November excessive. Community progress nonetheless has significantly fallen after the value fall from $3.21 on 27 December.
Additional, the deposit transactions have been extra inclined in direction of their respective low sides of late as spikes within the metric often point out a hike in short-term promote strain. Nonetheless, with round 76% HODLers making revenue on the $2.89 stage because the altcoin revamped 11% positive factors within the final two days sell-pressure could possibly be eased amid anticipation of an ATH.
All-time excessive approaching?
The bigger worth development for Enjin Coin nonetheless appeared bullish with ENJ making greater lows on the one-day chart, however there have been nonetheless elements that would contribute to sell-offs within the close to time period. Firstly, the community appeared much less vibrant with transaction depend and energetic addresses falling within the final week. The 7-Day change in new addresses for ENJ was -28.64% whereas that for energetic addresses was -37.36% which meant that with the community trying much less vibrant ENJ would possibly want a push from the retail aspect to maintain the rally.
Moreover, trying on the possession statistics for ENJ, retail buyers fashioned the most important part which meant that retail FOMO could possibly be essential for the altcoin’s run within the close to future.
So, whereas Enjin coin’s correlation with BTC was coming down which may current alternative for the alt to rally as BTC consolidated, the lowered exercise on the community may play spoilsport.

Spring Break is over and I am back to work and have been very busy making Robin's Graduation announcements. I want to mail them Monday. I also am working on matching Thank you cards for her. But I took time to work on 2 sketches today. The first one is the Mojo Monday sketch. This sketch is for a square card. I searched through my basket and found this Shadow stamped edge I had made with a SU stamp. I used the scalloped edge punch to finish it off. Not sure about the little daisy stamp. It is an image I have had laying around for quite some time and it was the only one I had that was the right size. The Butterflies I punched out of a scrap of webbed card stock.
Then I have been participating on a Cuttlebug group. Besides following the sketch you must Cuttlebug something on the card. Again I looked for an image that would work with something I already had Cuttlebugged. Found the leaves I made just recently. I also ran the top piece of paper through in a folder.
This last card I have been working on for days. I'm not really into big bows but I was trying to make something a little different then my usual. One of my favorite blogs is Amazing Paper Grace. She always has these great bows on her cards. So I gave it a try but it took me days trying to figure out what I needed on the card with that bow. It is finally finished. I'm putting it away before I have a chance to do something else to it.

The fee would spread the costs to all users of the lake, defraying cleanup costs, as well as programs like weed control, dredging, channel marker maintenance, on-the-water patrols and boat ramp repair.
Reservoir officials estimate the annual cost associated with boating recreation to be $1.36 million, the newspaper reports.
The proposed annual fee would be $35 for all vessels under 30 feet, $50 for 30 feet and above, as well as a $10/10-day permit. This would raise between $336,000 to $656,000, depending on what percentage of the 36,586 boats registered the surrounding counties purchased the boat decal.
Similar fees are charged at other public lakes, such as National Forest Service lakes and all lakes under the authority of the state of Mississippi.

Pineal melatonin is an endogenous regulator of reproduction, metabolism, and circadian timekeeping in juvenile and adult mammals. It acts as a neuroendocrine transducer since its daily pattern of secretion is regulated by light, particularly by daylength or photoperiod. This hormone travels through the circulation to receptors on target organs whose location has not been clearly established. Recently, techniques have become available for identifying melatonin receptor binding sites in the central nervous system by using the radioligand 2-[125I]-iodomelatonin (IMEL). Activation of these sites by melatonin appears to modulate neurotransmitter release, receptor number and hormone secretion. To further study the function of IMEL binding sites, this project will use the annual reproductive cycle in the Djungarian hamster as a model system.
The specific aims for this project are: 1) biochemical and pharmacological characterization of IMEL binding sites in the hypothalamus, 2) investigation of the regulation of these sites by time of day and melatonin, 3) localization and quantitation of IMEL binding sites in discrete brain regions at various phases of the annual cycle, and 4) investigation of the functional significance of the IMEL binding sites in the annual reproductive cycle. The studies pertaining to specific aims 1 and 2 will use radioligand binding techniques to identify IMEL binding sites and examine their physiological regulation. The experiments related to specific aim 3 will use quantitative autoradiography to measure IMEL binding sites in discrete brain regions after various photoperiodic treatments. The studies proposed under specific aim 4 will use regions labelled with IMEL in mediating photoperiodic information. Other studies will investigate the effect of melatonin on serotonergic turn-over rate in terminal fields labelled with IMEL. Immunocytochemical studies will characterize selected cell populations and afferent inputs in regions labelled with IMEL. These studies will provide an important model system for studying environmental and hormonal effects on neuroendocrine function, which is my longterm research goal. The results of these studies will help to elucidate the sites and mechanisms of action of melatonin in regulating reproduction and other physiological functions. Although the results will be obtained from studies of laboratory animals, they are of importance for human health since melatonin is being used clinically to alleviate sleep and mood disorders.

Following her breakthrough role on the hit HBO series Euphoria Sydney Sweeney is in high demand.
The 25-year-old actress – who plays Cassie Howard in her breakout role on the teen drama – was spotted on the streets of Los Angeles over the weekend filming her latest movie.
The Spokane, Wash. native was first spotted lounging on set getting ready for her scene, clad in a sexy leather ensemble that included a plunging bustier with a center zip closure.
Her pants, which featured a row of metal rivets all the way down the front, consisted of star patterns held together by small pieces of metal.
By attaching the stars to the corners, the unique looking trousers have small diamond-shaped openings from top to bottom.
New role: Sydney Sweeney, 25, showed off her enviable curves in a sexy black leather ensemble for a scene for her latest movie, which is currently filming in Los Angeles
Matching the rest of her fancy ensemble, the leading actress also wore a pair of black platform shoes, which gave her a few centimeters more height to her petite 1.70 meter figure.
The bustier zipped to the top, but the plunging neckline still emphasized her ample cleavage.
To complete her overall look for the shoot, the stylists let Sweeney’s blonde hair flow in a center parting across her chest and down almost to her waist in the back.
While crew members shuffled around the set trying to put everything and everyone in their place, Sweeney made his way to where filming was to begin.
For her scene, the actress sat atop the back seat of a classic red Mercedes-Benz convertible, which helped her be more visible as the car cruised down world-famous Sunset Blvd.
As the cameras rolled and the car picked up speed, Sweeney beamed a wide, beaming smile while an unidentified man sat behind the wheel.
At some point, as the car sped through traffic, Sweeney felt a rush of excitement and raised one arm to the sky.
She then enjoyed the view from one side of Sunset Blvd to the other while the cameras rolled on.
Action! For her scene, the actress sat on the roof of a classic red Mercedes-Benz convertible, which helped her be more visible as the car cruised down world-famous Sunset Blvd
Reach for the Heavens: At some point, while the car was cruising through traffic, Sweeney felt a rush of excitement and stood up to the sky, arm raised
Sweeney has taken full advantage of her newfound fame in the wake of Euphoria’s rising popularity.
Two films have already celebrated their world premiere in 2023, including the crime drama “Reality” at the 73rd Berlin International Film Festival in February and the crime thriller “Americana” at the South By Southwest in Austin, Texas in March.
“Reality,” which co-stars Sweeney alongside Josh Hamilton and Marchánt Davis, has since had a huge run on HBO in May.
Sweeney is also currently involved in no fewer than four other films that are in some form of post-production.
Most recently, the “White Lotus” star wrapped up filming on thriller “Echo Valley,” starring Julianne Moore and Domhnall Gleeson, in New Jersey in June.
So far, there is no official information on when the film will premiere on Apple TV+.
She had recently completed the psychological horror film Immaculate in February after filming in Rome, Italy.
In addition to Sweeney, the cast also includes Álvaro Morte, Benedetta Porcaroli, Dora Romano, Giorgio Colangeli and Simona Tabasco.
Socializing: The Euphoria star struck a few poses while wearing her costume for a video on her Instagram page
Flirty: Sitting in the back seat of the convertible, the actress got playful in front of the camera
Asked: The actress has no fewer than four new films at any stage of post-production
She is also crediting the romantic comedy Anyone But You, which also stars Glen Powell, Alexandra Shipp, Michelle Hurd, Bryan Brown, Darren Barnet, Hadley Robinson, Dermot Mulroney, Rachel Griffiths and GaTa.
Any But You is set to premiere later this year on December 15th.
Until late last year, Sweeney also co-directed the superhero film Madame Web with Dakota Johnson, which is scheduled to premiere on February 16, 2024.
As for Euphoria, it was expected that the show’s third season would start filming as early as last February, but it has been pushed back to late 2023, as several releases such as Hypebae.
The delay is now being attributed in part to the ongoing WGA and SAG/AFTRA strike, which began back in early May.

MEXICO CITY - Mexico began investigating the murder of another journalist as the industry observed World Press Freedom Day on Friday, the latest casualty in one of the world’s most dangerous countries for media workers.
Telesforo Santiago Enriquez, a retired teacher and founder of a community radio station, was found shot to death in a car on Thursday in the southern state of Oaxaca, the state prosecutor’s office said in a statement later that day, adding that it had launched a probe into the killing.
Enriquez is at least the seventh media member to be killed during President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador’s administration. In March, the deputy interior minister for human rights, Alejandro Encinas, said six others had been murdered since Lopez Obrador took office in December.
Jesus Ramirez, a presidential spokesman, said the government would work to bring the killer to justice. Human rights organizations have criticized the government for not doing more to put an end to a long series of attacks on journalists and punish the people responsible for them.
“We are committed to finding those responsible for attacks against Mexican journalism,” Ramirez wrote in a post on Twitter. - Reuters

The absence of collection and recycling systems can lead to environmental pollution. As such, the governments of numerous countries including African nations have issued stringent regulations and norms pertaining to lead acid batteries. Such regulations have been set up for restricting lead emission in lead acid battery thereby hampering the growth of lead acid batteries in Africa, and stimulating demand for other batteries that are environment friendly.
Low price is the competitive advantage that lead acid battery come with when compared to other substitutes. A large number of customers in Africa therefore, prefer lead acid battery. In Africa, lithium-ion batteries are competing strongly with the lead acid battery market as there are some positive traits belonging to the former. However, the Africa lead acid battery market is estimated to be driven by the low cost of the battery which is much lower than lithium-ion batteries. Most of the nations in Africa are either developing or under-developed. Therefore, the opportunity for affordable lead acid batteries in different application segments is of much importance in those countries.

Facing a lefty in Anaheim’s C.J. Wilson on Friday, the Mariners have Jason Bay leading off for the first time in his career.
With Franklin Gutierrez sidelined, Endy Chavez had been leading off for the Mariners of late, but he’s only an option there against righties. Bay, who is hitting .220 overall, is 4-for-14 with a couple of walks against left-handed pitchers, giving him a .375 OBP in those matchups.
The only other spot in which Bay had never hit was ninth. He’s spent the bulk of his career batting third, fourth and fifth. He has hit second eight times with poor results; he’s 3-for-30 with 12 strikeouts and one walk from that spot.
Bay’s appearance in the leadoff spot comes in his 1,179th major league start.
Marlins infielder/outfielder Brian Anderson departed Friday’s 19-11 win over the Phillies with a left hand contusion, the club announced. Following an X-ray, it was then revealed that he had sustained a fracture of the fifth metacarpal — an injury severe enough that it’ll likely keep him off the field for the remainder of the 2019 season.
Anderson suffered the injury on a hit-by-pitch in the third inning. On the first pitch of the at-bat, with the bases loaded and one out, he took a 93.9-m.p.h. fastball off his left hand. The HBP forced in a run, but he doubled over in pain and was quickly examined by a member of the Marlins’ staff before officially departing the game in the top of the fourth.
It’s an unfortunate way to end Anderson’s third campaign with the Marlins. The 26-year-old has posted some career-high numbers this year, reaching the 20-homer mark for the first time and batting a healthy .261/.342/.468 with an .810 OPS and 3.0 fWAR through 510 PA. Despite the setback, he should be fully healed and ready to go well in advance of the Marlins’ spring training in 2020.

These tend to be located in areas where the numbers of addicts are pretty much out of control. So communities become desperate enough to accept controversial alternatives, although they would actually be a good way to prevent huge problems in the first place, before the problem is seen as being completely intolerable. It's just too easy for people to look past the positive aspects until they get an inkling that they might be effected if the problem is ignored any further.

If I go to our local video store, a Family Video, I can almost be assured of not seeing some part of the movie I want because it skips.
I've been going mostly to the RedBox. But last night's flick skipped quite a bit on me as well.
Back in Kansas, I had been renting movies from the iTunes store and downloading them. I know for a fact that the movie is not going to skip.
But there are a few drawbacks. One is that often iTunes for whatever reason cannot offer a new release for rent on its release date. You can purchase the movie, but not rent it. Second is that it takes a while to download.
That second issue wasn't a problem back in Kansas when I worked at the library. I'd go in early set up the laptop, rent what I wanted and let it download while I cleaned. And when I was ready to go home the movie would be finished. But we don't have internet at the house right now, and the connection at our local library is quite a bit slower than the one back in Kansas.
So I got a bright idea. Why don't rental stores offer an electronic rental like iTunes does? The next big thing in movies is supposed to be BluRay, but I think we should ditch optical media altogether and start renting movies out on SD cards.
Or perhaps even better would be to offer download stations at the store. A customer brings in their flash drive sticks it into the slot and their selection is transferred.
I don't know. I'm just sick of missing chunks of my movies because folks don't seem to know how to handle DVDs anymore.


Growing up I went through an intense Alice Cooper phase. I knew all his music and worshipped it as a way of life. When Alice asked me to play a solo on his record, it was like a cosmic convergence taking place before me (or something like that). I had to chuckle at the odds of it all. When it was complete, Alice sent me this terrifically gnarly turquoise ring as a gift. Joe Satriani and I both play solos on this song. Some nice harmonies.

Australia, once a country of rather basic mien, has made great strides in the direction of culture. It makes wine that can mostly be ingested without indigestion. It even occasionally qualifies for the World Cup.
However, I wonder whether a newly noticed Australian cultural wrinkle might set the country back in the perceptions of many international travelers.
The national barometer, the Sydney Morning Herald, is alerting visitors to Australia that their laptops, and indeed the rest of their luggage, might now be searched for porn.
It seems to have taken the Australian Sex Party, which does much sterling work--including promoting green sex toys--to first notice a change to those little cards that aliens must sign before entering one of the jewels of Pacific Rim exploration.
Since September of last year, visitors have been required to answer whether they are carrying "pornography" on their person, place, or thing. This seems a something of a hoary question, as my dim knowledge of such things suggests that some pornography is, indeed, legal.
Perhaps some will be changing their travel plans when they hear that Australian customs officials confirmed to the Herald that they do now have the power to peek inside your laptop, iPhone, or even iPad and check whether you might have some naughty images or, even better, movies.
Others will be relieved that the customs officials declared that they will apply "tact and discretion." Which, presumably would mean no loud exclamations including the words "Cor!" "Blimey!" and "Sheila!"
The customs spokesperson helpfully explained to the Herald: "Including an express reference to pornography is intended to enhance the interception of prohibited pornography at the border, by making passengers aware that some forms of pornography may be a prohibited import."
Oh, they mean farmyard animals and the like. Or do they? How is any visitor to Australia supposed to know what the Australian pornography laws might be?
How is anyone supposed to know whether that little film they made with a fellow consenting adult after a tipsily consenting bar encounter might be discovered by peeping (cus)toms and declared illegal? Will the film merely be wiped from your laptop? Will the Australian government promise to take a copy and e-mail it back to you once they've thoroughly examined it and once you've left the country?
Will anyone with intact right and left brains really tick the box that says "Yup, I'm carrying me some porn, mate"? And what exactly is meant by the Australian tourist board's recent encouragement to "unleash your inner adventurer"?

PETALING JAYA: If there would be another beneficiary of the coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic apart from rubber glove manufacturers and healthcare companies, it has to be courier companies.
With the virus showing no signs of abating just yet, the fear of a second wave of Covid-19 is keeping Malaysians in the comfort of their own homes as they continue to practise social distancing.
This has certainly pushed more consumers to adopt online shopping as the new norm and have their goods delivered right to their doorsteps as the nation adjusts to life post pandemic.
Pos Malaysia Bhd, being the largest network courier in the country, is a beneficiary of this development.
This saw the group recording a 69% jump month-on-month (m-o-m) to an average daily parcel volume of 590,000 in April, during the full month of the movement control order (MCO).
For the first quarter of the year in particular, the group’s courier business actually saw an increase in parcel volume by 6.7% year-on-year (y-o-y), contributed by stronger demand from e-commerce and online marketplaces, aggressive digital and traditional sales and marketing drive, as well as improved mid-mile and last-mile efficiency.
GD Express Carrier Bhd (GDex) had also told StarBizWeek in an interview recently that their parcel volume has been growing rapidly since April.
It is one of those companies that is having the opportunity to “enjoy” the problem of customer demand outstripping its capacity.
In May alone, its daily volume has surpassed levels recorded in the company’s best years. Pos Malaysia is experiencing something similar, as its current levels are significantly higher than the range of around 300,000 parcels it used to deal with every day.
However, Pos Malaysia has been reporting huge losses and has been in the red in the past seven quarters.
In its latest results for the first quarter ended March 31,2020, the group posted a net loss of RM49.22mil.
It is not even making money from its operations, which saw it recording RM558.53mil in revenue but its cost of sales and operating expenses came in higher at RM573.75mil.
The group had in August last year, changed its financial year end from March 31 to Dec 31.
While the results for the first quarter this year are technically not comparable with the previous financial year, its net losses actually came in 65.12% lower compared to the three months ended March 31,2019.
Pos Malaysia’s three main business segments – postal, logistics and aviation – were all loss-making except for its other segment, which contributed a RM8.87mil to the group’s profit before tax, mainly from the digital certificates business and the Islamic pawn broking service ArRahnu.
Even as the e-commerce sector led to a surge in demand for courier services towards the end of March, it was not enough to cushion the impact from the fewer retail transactions that were recorded in post offices while its international business was affected by the cancellation of commercial and cargo flights and the suspension of business activities.
Moving forward, cost inefficiency is also set to be a major problem for the company, which several analysts have attributed to its unionised workforce.
Kenanga Research said in a report that given Pos Malaysia’s inability to close down post offices, its unionised workforce and losses in its postal services segment, losses are only expected to continue moving forward.
It added that the courier business will continue to operate in a competitive environment pressured by price and cost challenges.
One of the more positive aspects is that the group’s Integrated Parcel Centres (IPC) in Shah Alam and newly completed facility in KLIA has increased its processing capacity by 77% from 300,000 to 530,000 parcels per day, which will allow it to deal with the surge in demand from the e-commerce sector.
AmInvestment Bank Research concurred, stressing in a report that the main challenge is Pos Malaysia’s cost inefficiency due to the unionised workforce and its inability to rationalise its extensive network of post offices.
“The courier segment continues to face intense competition, resulting in margin squeeze, ” it says.
RHB Research believes the group’s losses would widen in the second quarter due to a further revenue shortfall during the extended MCO period but this could be mitigated by the spike in courier volumes.
The research house is quite optimistic as it expects this to push Pos Malaysia to return into the black in the second half alongside the normalisation of business activities.
Pos Malaysia plunged to its all-time low of 54 sen on March 19 but it has since rebounded. It closed at 97 sen yesterday, which on a year-to-date basis, was still a 34.46% decline.

Dustin Cook, a 26-year-old from Ottawa, won his first super-G race on Thursday at the season-ending World Cup finals in Meribel, France, and Kjetil Jansrud gained some ground on Marcel Hirscher in the fight for the overall title by finishing second.
Cook finished .05 seconds ahead of Olympic super-G champion Jansrud. Roger Brice of France was .08 behind in third.
Jansrud has already won the season-long super-G title, and the 29-year-old Norwegian also took the downhill title on Wednesday.
Cook won silver in the super-G last month at the world championships, and had earned a first World Cup podium with a third-place finish in the discipline two weeks ago in Kvitfjell.
“I’m definitely not used to this, maybe someone like Kjetil who wins a lot, but this is all new and all exciting for me,” Cook said. “I kind of came out of nowhere on the radar. It took a little longer than I expected but I’m just happy to here.”
Cook had never placed higher than 12th prior to this season, and contemplated retirement.
“I was on the verge this summer of not skiing,” he said. “But I just kept getting better and better and now I just want to compete for the podium every weekend.”
Cook thanked one of his friends for snapping him out of his retirement thoughts.
“I still loved the sport it was just not going the way I wanted it to. So I had a good, long talk with one of my friends from home, and he was like ‘Dude, don’t even question it, just keep going,”‘ Cook said. “I talked to him about it recently and said ‘Remember that conversation we had?’ and he said ‘Yeah, thank God you listened to me.”‘
Hirscher, a slalom specialist, finished fourth on Thursday for his second-best result in super-G and still leads the overall standings by 34 points heading into the final two races.
Jansrud has only six career podiums in giant slalom and his best finish in slalom — fourth place — was nearly 10 years ago.
“Marcel is grabbing a lot of points right now and he could already wrap it up on Saturday,” Jansrud said. “But I’ll just ski as fast as I can in the giant slalom and we’ll see how it goes.”
Austrian skier Matthias Mayer crashed near the bottom, and that delayed Jansrud, who was the next to start on the Roc de Fer course.
Although the soft snow and mild temperatures offered little difficulty to the skiers, Carlo Janka of Switzerland lost his balance, flew up in the air and went down on his backside with his left pole stuck up in the air.
Both he and Mayer got back up quickly and were unharmed.

Every year I do a few ghost pattern making jobs for Simplicity. Usually it's a Disney movie tie in.
These two outfits were a challenge and a lot of fun.
The instructions say all those wavy cut edges on the blouse and short outer skirt have the option of being hemmed or left unhemmed. But, to get the curled effect like on the illustrations, the edges must be hemmed. Plus the hemming can be in a contrast thread color, which makes the curled hem edges pop. There are two methods that will work and I am going to show you how to do both.
You can either use the hemming feature on your serger with the stitch length set very short or zig zag twice over the cut edges. The zig zag should be set at it's widest width and shortest length. The edges need to be stretched while doing either method for the best results.
These photos will sometimes show the serger and sometimes the regular machine zig zagging. But, the technique is basically the same, except the zig zagged hem really needs to be done twi.
I strongly recommend practicing on some scrap fabric of the same kind before hemming the actual garment,

Last week, senior U.S. officials warned their British counterparts that letting Chinese telecom giants like Huawei build next-generation 5G internet infrastructure would be “nothing short of madness” for national security. The comments follow a Council of the European Union (EU) conclusion that 5G must respect “core values of the EU such as human rights,” and must not expose European citizens to danger on account of the “legal and policy framework to which suppliers may be subject to in third countries.” Huawei fails these tests.
The EU has previously spoken out against China’s repression and mass detention of its minority Muslim population. Leaked classified documents from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) confirm the systemic human rights abuses occurring in Xinjiang Province. Yet Europe risks doing business with the same technology firms facilitating these abuses.
Across all of China, the CCP seeks to monitor its population through a social credit system. But within Xinjiang, Chinese authorities have built a system of unmatched surveillance and social control facilitated by facial recognition scans, voice biometric data, DNA collection, and artificial intelligence for racial profiling.
Now, with alarming frequency, reports are surfacing about Huawei’s core role in this systemic repression. An in-depth study by the Australian Strategic Policy Institute (ASPI) — the same research institute that first revealed that Huawei lay at the heart of massive data theft from the African Union headquarters — has now uncovered Huawei’s direct role in supporting the repression in Xinjiang. Huawei provides cloud computing power and other technical support to the police departments and provincial government in Xinjiang, including to the U.S.-sanctioned Public Security Bureau.
Huawei executives previously testified before the UK House of Commons that Huawei had no contracts in Xinjiang. Yet the evidence suggests otherwise, according to the ASPI report. Provincial leaders have even praised Huawei’s contributions to the “Safe Xinjiang” initiative, a euphemism for the government’s surveillance system.
The U.S. is sounding the alarm. Last Monday, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo described “massive security and privacy risks connected to letting Huawei construct their 5G networks inside (our allies’ and partners’) countries.” In an op-ed last month, he warned his European counterparts, “With 5G capabilities, the CCP could use Huawei or ZTE’s access to steal private or proprietary information, or use ‘kill switches’ to disrupt critical future applications like electrical grids and telesurgery centers.”
Beyond these economic and national security threats, the CCP — one of the world’s worst human rights violators and an “abuser of internet freedom,” according to Freedom House — could use the same access to threaten Uighurs living abroad.
Already, the Chinese government harasses Uighur Muslims in Europe, conveying threats against vulnerable relatives in China to curb any criticisms of the regime’s behavior. To date, this CCP campaign has consisted of already widely available techniques and technologies to pursue dissidents abroad, like targeted robocalls and surveillance.
Embedding Huawei 5G in Europe threatens to change all that.
Huawei is a global leader in surveillance cities, exporting its ability to suppress human freedom, including to eager despots. If Huawei wins the contracts to build Europe’s 5G infrastructure, the Chinese government will enjoy unprecedented access to its civilian opponents.
China makes no secret of its desire to be the world leader in artificial intelligence, whether by competition or flagrant theft. The personal data of Chinese ex-pat communities running through a Huawei mega-network in Europe would be highly valuable for the CCP’s efforts to build AI systems capable of identifying “undesirable” individuals, whether because they oppose the Xi regime or pray the wrong way.
Though the CCP hardly needs more suggestions for how to abuse this power, a cursory review of the risks suggests it would allow for the hyper-specific targeting of European citizens. Once inside 5G networks, the Chinese Communist Party would gain access to the “most intimate” details of European citizens, warned U.S. National Security Advisor Robert O’Brien. Chinese operators could block or manipulate certain online information — or disable devices as part of a broader operation.
Europe may finally be waking up to the danger.
Following an outpouring of American alarm at the prospect of a Chinese-built 5G, European nations are acknowledging that the Chinese telecommunications giant Huawei poses a threat to European security.
But they must also recognize the danger to Europe’s core values: The combination of CCP ruthlessness and Huawei technology threatens human rights.
European leaders are now at a crossroads. They can save $62 billion and roll out 5G infrastructure quickly with a baked-in Trojan horse. Or they can patiently develop their own secure networks through local giants like Nokia and Ericsson or South Korea’s Samsung.
If Europe’s leaders choose the quick and easy route, their citizens will finally know the selling price of their security, privacy, and freedom.

The Nature Conservancy of Canada (NCC) is asking residents to attend the remainder of the month earlier than busting out the garden mower to assist with biodiversity in its cleverly titled “No Mow May” marketing campaign.
The marketing campaign’s objective is to get the message out in regards to the potential function individuals can play in serving to biodiversity by not mowing their garden of their back and front yards.
Matthew Braun, supervisor of conservation, science and planning with the NCC, defined the concept first began in the UK earlier than making its method to Canada.
“It’s supposed to offer the bugs and their meals provides an opportunity to undergo their a part of the life cycle right here early on and in the summertime,” Braun stated.
Bugs akin to bees, butterflies and ants are busy pollinating this month, which performs a key function within the development of Saskatchewan crops and crops.
Saskatchewan farmer encourages ‘low-maintenance’ bees for yard pollination
“I feel individuals are on the lookout for ways in which they’ll contribute to conservation and inexperienced concepts and biodiversity safety in their very own backyards. I do know individuals are at all times asking us for issues that we will recommend that they’ll do. That is one small factor that if all of us did a few of these small issues collectively, we’d make a distinction,” Braun stated.
He defined that by maintaining the garden mower stowed away for an additional month, it permits meals sources to bloom and supply for bugs and different wildlife species.
“A few of these dandelions that appear like they may not have any good use, they’re offering a service on the market. There’s a requirement for them, for these bugs that basically construct the bottom, that pyramid that helps help all of the completely different animals above them,” Braun stated.
The pollinator’s inhabitants has been declining lately. Braun defined particularly Saskatchewan is impacted, like the remainder of the world, by international temperatures and precipitation patterns. He stated hotter summers are going to have an effect on bugs and pollinator populations, in addition to declining habitable habitats in Saskatchewan.
“In Saskatchewan, yearly we lose some extra of our native habitat to annual arable cropping and people are vital areas for these pollinators to stay out their lives and contribute to our ecosystems as nicely,” Braun stated.
He stated sure pesticides additionally play an vital function in impacting insect populations as nicely.
If residents do really feel compelled to mow their garden earlier than the month is over, Braun instructed they modify the peak of the garden mower so the grass can keep longer.
One other means to assist the trigger is by rising native perennials in your yard that may flower at completely different occasions of the yr, Braun stated.
Braun estimates that there are over 200 completely different species of bees present in Saskatchewan.
“These bees, together with numerous different lesser-known insect pollinators, are answerable for pollinating not simply the flowers that we’ve got in our yards, however they’re additionally answerable for serving to pollinate and enhance productiveness of the crops that we rely on on this province,” he stated.
Braun additionally encourages residents to try dandelions in their very own yard and take into consideration what bugs are utilizing them earlier than pulling them out.
“You’re going to see that [they] even have numerous potential to offer numerous advantages up there and that’s one thing we will all do and we might help out with.”

Computerizing the Budget Office: An On-Line Decision Support System.
Rosenberg, Glenn R.; Peterson, William R.
The implementation process and resource requirements of the University of Connecticut Budget Office's online decision support system are described. Successes and failures of shifting to a fully interactive budget review and development process are also reviewed. Special attention is given to the personnel problems and analytical challenges encountered in the evolution to computerization. Examples are cited of financial models and graphics used to facilitate meeting information requests, perform complex revenue and expenditure analyses, and prepare the budget request. The university's Budgetary Decision Support System (BUDDS) consists of the following key data files: summary expenditure information, personnel information, budgeted position control, budget requests and allotments, and budgetary expenditure accounts. The University of Connecticut's budget development system and the interactive budgetary development model are discussed, along with the marketing of the budget. Attention is also given to the report generator, FOCUS, which enables the budget office to tabulate budgetary information. It is noted that reports generated from three FOCUS files enable administrators to monitor budgetary commitments and assure that allocations are obeyed. FOCUS also contains a facility that simplifies the creation of complicaed financial models. (SW)

The most encouraging aspect of the visit to Israel this weekend of Pope Francis is that such a papal pilgrimage to the Holy Land has become expected, if not routine, in recent years. Francis is the third consecutive pope to make the trip — the first foreign journey of his reign — following John Paul II in 2000 and Benedict XVI in 2009.
In Jewish lore, an act performed three times gives it the status of an accepted tradition, a chazakah. And so it is that this journey takes on a sense of permanence, more ceremonial than substantive, but reflecting warm relations between Jerusalem and the Vatican.
Full-scale diplomacy began two decades ago, and though a resolution of accords between the Holy See and the Jewish state related to property rights and tax exemptions has still not been achieved, interfaith observers say they expect it to be very soon. Further, they note that the compassionate and warm personality of Francis has lent to the excellent atmospherics leading up to this visit.
The one disturbing element, which has dominated headlines in Israel of late, is security concerns voiced by Israeli authorities. They worry that Jewish extremists may attempt to vandalize churches in an effort to disrupt the visit. There has been an increase in so-called “price-tag” attacks — retaliation for government actions against settlements deemed illegal — primarily from Jews who have targeted Christian and Muslim holy places. Ironically, Vatican officials privately have expressed deep concern over the threat presented by extremist Muslims to Christians in the Mideast, noting that only Israel protects this minority effectively.
Pope Francis will be traveling with a Muslim sheik and a rabbi, Abraham Skorka, a clerical colleague from his native Argentina. It will mark the first time leaders of other religions are part of an official papal delegation. The pope will first visit Jordan and Bethlehem, where he will meet with Palestinian officials, before coming to Israel. His Jerusalem itinerary includes Yad Vashem, the Western Wall, Christian sites and the Temple Mount.
Interfaith insiders say Francis is eager to engage in theological discussions with leaders of other faiths, including Judaism, during his papacy. In the meantime it is worth noting how far the Jewish-Catholic relationship has advanced since Vatican II five decades ago, proof that dramatic, positive change can take place when there is a sincere commitment to achieve understanding and brotherhood among God’s children.

New self-isolation and schools rules will be set out today by two of the Government's top ministers.
Health secretary Sajid Javid and education secretary Gavin Williamson will address Parliament today to announce the changes.
Mr Javid has promised a "more proportionate system of test, trace and isolate", including a "different approach" for people who have been double-jabbed.
It is though Mr Williamson will announce school "bubbles" will be scrapped, along with routine contact tracing - both moves likely to see far fewer children having to isolate.
Both new sets of rules will come as part of the lifting of lockdown laws on July 19. Read the rules that are being scrapped by clicking here.
Mr Javid said: “We will have a more proportionate system of test, trace and isolate, and it is absolutely right that those that have been double jabbed that we can take a different approach than the one we take today. In terms of what we will be doing exactly, you will have to wait for my statement to Parliament later today.”
At present anyone who comes into contact with someone who has Covid-19 has to self-isolate at home for 10 days.
Mr Javid denied that there was a figure being considered as an acceptable excess mortality rate from coronavirus as restrictions are lifted in England.
“It’s not about some number of deaths being acceptable, of course not,” he told Sky News.
“What we are seeing is that with rising case numbers, yesterday I said we could see a doubling of case numbers by the time we get to July 19, we are not seeing a corresponding increase in hospitalisations and deaths numbers.
“That is because the vaccine is working, that’s what the vaccine is for.”
Mr Williamson will set out new plans for dealing with covid in schools in England today.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson yesterday signalled an end to the requirement for entire school bubbles to isolate in the event of a Covid contact by instead utilising extra testing.
The Government will change the controls that apply in early years, schools, colleges and higher education institutions in a bid to keep as many children in school as is safely possible - rather than having them sent home to isolate.
From July 19, if the lockdown lifting goes to plan, children will no longer need to be in consistent groups (‘bubbles’), and early years settings, schools or colleges will not be required to routinely carry out contact tracing, which will help to minimise the number of children isolating.
Contact tracing in specific educational settings would only be triggered if deemed necessary in response to a local outbreak.
In short, children will not need to be sent home to isolate if another child in the school, year or class has Covid - and there will be no 'bubbles' to be sent home for isolation.
Instead there will be increased testing.
Under-18s who are close contacts of a positive case will be exempt from the requirement to self-isolate, in line with the approach for those who are fully vaccinated.
The changes are likely to come into effect later in the summer - in time for the next school year. There will be no restrictions on in-person teaching and learning in universities.

The interest rate is obvious. It is also a punishment for all who have any arrears in repayment of mortgage payments. However, reminders sent by regular mail or text messages are much more burdensome. Often, they are paid for. However, the minimum delay will not significantly affect the client’s credibility.
We assume that all installments will be repaid by us on time. However, plans can change, as in life. The period of long-term cooperation with the bank may include various periods in connection with failure to pay installments for various reasons.
There may be a situation that we will not be able to pay the installments, and it may also happen that we deliberately delay the transfer, because we will need money for something completely different. The delay may also arise due to delays in interbank transfers.
We should remember that our basic account must be credited with the appropriate amount of money, which will serve as a mortgage payment. Such transfers are impossible to make at the last minute. We must remember that interbank transfers are executed on a given day in three sessions.
Each bank will have different deadlines, which will have to be followed so that the regular transfer that we sent was made on the same day. For example, at Bank ANC, the last session closes at 15:30. Otherwise, it looks at SimpliBank, where everything must be ordered before 13:25.
All orders issued at a later time are always carried out on the next business day. Therefore, if we make a transfer on a Friday, it will only be executed on Monday, and this may result in a delay in the repayment of installments.
It is therefore natural that in the case of a slip in the repayment of installments, interest rates will be charged to us by the bank. Every financial institution, unfortunately, calculates them in a way that is quite harmful to us – using the highest interest rates allowed by Polish law.
A provision can be found in the Civil Code that it can not be more than four times the NBP lombard rate. For example, penalty interest can be twenty-five percent per year. Unfortunately, most banks use the same limit, although there are banks such as Credit , which applies a rate of two times the basic interest rate on the loan.
However, is the fact that the basis for calculating interest is not the full amount of the installment. So far, only this type of system is used by the LLC bank. Many institutions recognize that the basis for calculating interest should be only the capital part of the late installment. All banks apply billing rates from the first day of delay. Some of the banks declare that interest accrues after a few days from the occurrence of the delay.
The most troublesome actions taken by the bank are for us when it tries to recover its money. How does it look like? First, the bank contacts us personally, urging us to pay back the arrears, if it is not successful, then the matter is transferred to internal debt collection.
We will incur additional fees for each prompt. Each emptying is recorded by the IT system of banks. It should be remembered that one-off misses do not make us classified in a group of suspicious and monitored units. Thirty days of delay are cause for concern.
Worse status in BIK may cause that we will not get another loan, but at the time when we will watch deadlines and avoid delays in repayment of loan installments, we will be able to sleep peacefully.

Deposed Egyptian president Muhammad Morsi has declared that he will never recognize President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi’s coup against him, according to his son Abdullah Morsi.
The former president was further quoted to have emphasized that his position of defiance was “out of respect for the Egyptian people and their choices,” the London-based news site Arabi21 reported on Thursday.
The statements were made after Egyptian authorities allowed Morsi’s family to visit him in a short 25-minute session, being the third such meeting since he was imprisoned as an aftermath of the coup that was staged on July 3, 2013 by his then-defense minister Sisi.
The country’s first democratically elected president now faces a death sentence and numerous imprisonment terms on charges of endangering national security, insulting the judiciary and even espionage cooperation with Hamas, Hezbollah and Qatar.
Back in March, a panel of UK legislators and attorneys had asserted that Morsi, who has diabetes and liver disease, is likely to face “premature death” in prison, due to low poor prison conditions and inhumane treatment.
Egypt’s Morsi ‘may die early due to harsh jail conditions’
A report says Egypt’s ex- president Mohamed Morsi may face premature death due to low-standard detention conditions.
The crackdown on the former Egyptian ruler and his political party, the Muslim Brotherhood, has sparked widespread outrage around the world as rights campaigners and governments criticize the Sisi administration for collectively imprisoning the party’s members.
Rights groups say the army’s crackdown on the Brotherhood and its supporters has resulted in deaths of over 1,400 people. About 22,000 others have been arrested, including more than 200 people who have been sentenced to death in mass trials.

Dele Alli has said he “learned a lot” from working with Jose Mourinho at Tottenham last season and blames himself for his lack of game time.
After making an explosive start to his Spurs career and securing his status as one of their most influential players under Mauricio Pochettino, Alli was gradually pushed to the fringes under Mourinho.
He made only a handful of appearances in the Premier League last term before Mourinho’s sacking in April. Low on confidence and increasingly out of form, he ended up with three goals in all competitions for the season.
Things improved somewhat when Ryan Mason took over as interim manager, with Alli starting five out of six league games during his short tenure. It wasn’t enough to put him in contention for England’s Euro 2020 squad, however, with Gareth Southgate overlooking him.
Alli’s struggles coincided with a disappointing season for Spurs all in all, with the team eventually scraping a seventh-placed finish and qualification to the Europa Conference League. Nonetheless, Alli has refused to blame Mourinho for his difficulties.
Speaking to Goal, he said: “The only person I blame is myself. I should be performing at a level where it is difficult to not put me in the team or not play me. I don’t blame anyone but myself.
“Working with Mourinho was a great experience and one I learned a lot from.”
With Nuno Espirito Santo announced as Tottenham’s new manager last week, Alli is hoping he can make the best possible impression. “He [Nuno] has done a great job at Wolves,” he added. “I am looking forward to speaking to him and working with him. He is a great manager and it is exciting times.
Will Dele Alli rediscover his best form next season? Comment below
“I want to make this year one of the best I have had. A lot of people have said I need to find the form I was in a few years ago. For me, I don’t even want to get to that, I want to go past that and reach my full potential to be the best player I can be.
“It has been a tough few years but I have been working hard and analysing what I need to do to get better.
“I have been training a lot on most days of my holiday. I didn’t feel I needed much rest, so it is just training the whole way through.
“Everyone is looking for that extra few per cent, so you have to keep up. I am feeling good and the best I have felt in a long time.”

Messner's Thin Granite State Ties An Issue On Senate Campaign Trail
Democratic Sen. Jeanne Shaheen is running for a third term this year against challenger Republican Corky Messner. Shaheen is a former governor of New Hampshire, whose political career in the Granite State spans decades, while Messner, a 63-year-old Army veteran and attorney, recently moved to the state from Colorado.
NHPR senior political reporter Josh Rogers spoke with All Things Considered host Peter Biello about Messner’s background and whether New Hampshire roots really matter in campaigns.
Peter Biello: So, Josh, tell us about Messner's background. He spent most of his adult life outside of New Hampshire, correct?
Josh Rogers: Yes. Corky Messner was born in Pennsylvania and attended West Point in the 1970s. And while a cadet, he says he visited New Hampshire somewhere near Mount Monadnock to help close up a fellow cadet’s family’s camp for the season. And according to a biography on Messner’s campaign website, that brief visit was when he “fell in love with the state.” And it was then, again, according to his campaign bio, that he promised himself that “one day I'd be a Granite Stater.” Must have been a heck of a visit.
By Messner’s own telling, which appears on that website under the heading “Proud Granite Stater,” it took him a while to consummate his status as a Granite Stater. He first served in the military. He became a lawyer. He put down roots in Denver, and then first purchased a vacation house in Wolfeboro, on Lake Wentworth, in 2007.
And his website also details very precisely his acquisition of another lot next to his house and two other parcels in the area. It talks about how he offers free legal advice around town and that he sublets office space to the Lake Wentworth Watershed Association at a “submarket rate,” it notes he sure to use local contractors and companies for numerous projects at his properties. I've read a lot of candidate bios, and I've never seen one with those sorts of details included.
Biello: Ok, so he's pitching himself as a property owner and active community member. But Messner’s only claimed New Hampshire as his full-time residence recently.
Rogers: Yes. He owns still owns houses in Colorado, but Messner has voted in New Hampshire absentee in 2018. And, as has been pointed out, that means he's never actually voted in a U.S. Senate race in a state he now hopes to represent in the U.S. Senate.
Biello: And given that background, opponents have taken swipes at him, calling him “Colorado Corky.” Is that as bad as the criticism of him gets?
Rogers: Well, it's certainly the central critique of Messner. He did obviously win the Republican primary. He defeated Don Bolduc, whose family has deep New Hampshire roots that stretch back to the colonial era. Messner spent a lot more money, mostly his own, and he certainly benefited by being endorsed by President Trump. But, you know, Bolduc’s campaign definitely tried to make Messner’s alleged carpetbagging an issue. And incumbent Democrat Jeanne Shaheen, her campaign is doing the same with more resources and really on behalf of a stronger candidate who's been deeply involved in New Hampshire politics for a really long time, basically since the time, you know, Messner made his initial visit to New Hampshire that he says set him on his course to living here.
Biello: Messner has obviously met the ballot requirements to run. He won the Republican primary. New Hampshire is a state with a lot of population churn. So I guess the question is: does the fact that he spent a lot of time earlier in his life out of state matter? Do voters really care how long a candidate has lived in the state?
Rogers: That's a fair question. It's one voters decide on a case by case basis. It's true that only 42 percent of the people who live in New Hampshire are native born. That's a lower percentage than both the national average and the New England average. But moving here for politics, or appearing to move here for politics, can be another matter. Two years ago, in the Democratic primary for the 1st Congressional District, Maura Sullivan, originally from Illinois, faced carpetbagging accusations and she lost that primary.
And in 2016, former Massachusetts Sen. Scott Brown, whose ties to New Hampshire are more substantial than Messner’s, lost to Jeanne Shaheen. It's hard to know how much Brown's emigre status from Massachusetts hurt him in that race. But you may recall a moment in the televised debate, when Scott Brown spoke of Sullivan County as if it were a bit further north than it actually is. That race was pretty close. Polling indicates this one, between Messner and Shaheen, may be less so. But at the same time, it may be telling that the ad that Gov. Chris Sununu recorded on Corky Messner’s behalf is called “One of us.”
Messner’s main line of attack against Jeanne Shaheen is that she's “gone D.C.,” that she’s left New Hampshire behind. On the one hand, that is a pretty generic critique against any U.S. senator seeking a third term. But, in a way, it almost seems like an effort to neutralize one of Shaheen’s strengths – her long time serving the state – and turn it into a liability. And the flip side of that is that it could, at least in theory, make Messner’s far flimsier ties to the state seem like a plus.

This group is only meant for those who are both open minded and skeptical and who seek empowerment of self. It will promote creative thought, but mostly, disillusionment from societal manipulations through mature debate—all while enjoying wholesome recreation.
To be a part of this group, you need to be respectful but also have thick skin. Laughter against disagreement—and agreeing to disagree—will be the hallmark of this group which encourages both independence and camaraderie. Let’s celebrate diverse thinking when it happens and enjoy the illusion of similarity while it lasts.
I believe the tension that comes from continually recognizing and enduring our cognitive and existential solitude creates the only acceptable balance in a world seemingly hell bent on foolish notions, full of thin-skinned compromises, social propaganda, and manipulative memes meant to stifle free thought and speech.
The group will also decide together on informal venues for meeting up including recreation and other empowering activities.

Loyal to beliefs
Concerning the recent contraception/abortion controversy, a lot of people don't seem to understand that the conservative stance of the Catholic Church and other Christian churches — pro-life, anti-contraception, and the belief that sex and marriage is between a man and woman — is high-minded theology.
One reason I admire Pope Benedict XV is because he doesn't cave in. He doesn't relinquish his ideals because his flock won't follow.
Catholics doing their own thing, like practicing birth control, believing in reincarnation, not going to church, aborting their babies and promoting homosexuality and female priests comprise the moral relativism that Pope Benedict has preached against.
Granted, some of the Catholic hierarchy have made mistakes in the past. None of us are perfect. But the majority of the hierarchy should be admired because they are true to their high-minded theology.
