The coalition said in a statement: “We have no new positions regarding the candidate for prime minister, and the rumored counter-positions led by “electronic armies” come to pass agendas and special interests that have nothing to do with resolving the crisis and avoiding blockage and chaos.”
The coalition confirmed that “the initiatives of its leader Haider al-Abadi always emphasize the need to adopt the correct path to resolve the crisis, regardless of the name of the candidate for prime minister,” noting that “the most important is the agreement of the political parties on a road map that ends the political blockage, and brings the country out of the neck of the crisis.” This is what we always work on, whether within the coordination framework or with others.”
He explained that “the differences between the political forces should not center on the best candidate for the interests of these or that forces, but rather how to be judged and according to any valid and possible criteria to manage the current stage and the foreseeable future.” This is what the public expects from its national forces.” https://kirkuktv.net/AR/Details/9002

The Night Of The “Frame” Disputes: Al-Kazemi’s Support And Fears Of Arrests Against The Background Of The Al-Khadra Clashes
Posted On2022-09-20 By Sotaliraq Baghdad / Tamim Al-Hassan
Once again, the wing of Nuri al-Maliki (the leader of the state of law) dominates the opposition movement within the framework on the penultimate night, which witnessed the most severe differences within the Shiite group since the last elections, due to the identity of the next prime minister.
It seems that the recent dispute left major cracks this time in the Shiite bloc, with which patchwork may be difficult, especially with Haider al-Abadi’s (leader of the victory coalition) admitting that what happened that night was to advance “special agendas.”
The coordinating framework is under great pressure, but there are fears of renewed protests, and the involvement of leaders in the firing orders that took place in the Green Zone at the end of last month, and which are expected to be issued soon against their affiliated factions.
These pressures prompted parties within the “Coordination Council” to adopt options close to the demands of Muqtada al-Sadr, the leader of the Sadrist movement, who seeks the survival of Mustafa al-Kazemi’s current government, or at least against al-Maliki’s ambition.
Disagreements took place that night over the name of the next prime minister, as the name of Jaafar al-Sadr was raised again, the form of the government and the distribution of ministries to the political forces.
Disagreements began to escalate within the Shiite group after the Karbala meeting that took place during the Arba’een visit last week, and a proposal was made to go to Al-Hanana, where Al-Sadr is based in the city of Najaf, and try to persuade him to form a new government.
During this meeting, which took place amid warnings of the possibility of renewed clashes between the “current” and “the framework”, there were two clear teams, the first represented by Hadi al-Amiri, the leader of the Badr Organization, with support for the settlement with al-Sadr, and the other represented by al-Maliki, who seeks to hold a parliament session before any negotiation.
According to the latest information, the leader of the Sadrist movement told both the Democratic Party and the Alliance of Sovereignty (allies of Sadr) that he would not receive any party from the coordinating framework, not even al-Amiri because he represents a weak link now within the Shiite group.
Efforts to hold the parliament session had been postponed due to what was known as the “forty-year armistice,” which followed the armed clashes inside the Green Zone at the end of last August, as the coordination framework retreated from the intentions of resuming parliament sessions until after the visit.
Al-Sadr, in turn, adhered to the unwritten truce with his opponents and stopped tweeting, along with his minister, Saleh Muhammad al-Iraqi, while al-Maliki had returned in the middle of the truce to talk about forming a new government during the statement of al-Sadr’s allies (the Democratic and Sovereignty Alliance), which the leader of the rule of law believed came in his favor.
With a careful reading of the statement of the members of the Triple Alliance, which announced that it did not object to the return of Parliament, and after that messages arrived to the “Coordination Committee” that the allies of the current leader require the approval of al-Sadr in return, the short euphoria of victory that leaders in the framework felt has disappeared.
An informed politician said in an interview with (Al-Mada) that “on Sunday night, the coordinating framework was increasingly fragmented, yet a group of frameworks had united to stop al-Maliki’s ambition to control the next government, despite the different intentions of each party.”
And he continues, saying: “The team that includes Al-Amiri and Al-Abadi was more realistic in dealing with the crisis, and they found that there is no solution except by concession and acceptance of Al-Sadr’s conditions and the renewal of confidence in the current Prime Minister, Mustafa Al-Kazemi.”
Although the politician close to the events indicates that Haider al-Abadi may not be very enthusiastic about restoring confidence in Al-Kazemi, but it is in his interest in all cases to prevent Al-Maliki from obtaining the government in the hope that he will be chosen for the position (and he means Al-Abadi).
On the other hand, Hadi al-Amiri wanted the position to go to the leader of the Badr Organization and National Security Adviser Qassem al-Araji, who abdicated hours before the selection of al-Maliki’s candidate to head the next government, Muhammad al-Sudani, last July.
Al-Amiri had put forward Al-Araji’s name again during the past two days, within the requirements of the settlement with Al-Sadr.
But in the end, according to what the politician who was acquainted with the recent discussions says, “Nuri al-Maliki’s wing, along with Asa’ib, and with the reservation of Ammar al-Hakim, the leader of the Wisdom Movement, took control of the opposition movement within the coordination and imposed his opinion once again.”
Al-Maliki’s team had previously controlled the opposition of a group within the “coordinating body” to naming Al-Sudani because it might provoke Al-Sadr before the supporters of the current stormed the Green Zone and held a sit-in in front of Parliament for about a month.
Al-Abadi appeared angry about what happened on Sunday night, when he published a statement in the name of the Victory Coalition, in which he exposed part of what happened, and distanced himself from any position regarding the candidate for prime minister, calling for action to produce a “constitutional political settlement.”
The victory statement said, “We have nothing new regarding the candidate for prime minister, and the rumored counter-positions and positions that come to pass agendas and special interests that have nothing to do with resolving the crisis and avoiding blockage and chaos.”
The statement considered that “the differences between the political forces should not focus on the best candidate for the interests of these or that forces, but rather on how to be judged.”
He stressed that “the duty of the concerned forces in the state today is to work to produce a constitutional political settlement that creates the appropriate conditions for early elections.”
On the other hand, the Asa’ib Ahl al-Haq movement, led by Qais Khazali, confirmed that there is no renewal of Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kazemi.
A spokesman for the political office of the Sadiqoun bloc, which represents the Asaib Asaib, Mahmoud Al-Rubaie, said in a tweet via Twitter: “No, no, and no renewal of Al-Mabkhout (referring to Al-Kazemi), and everyone who publishes something like this is either delusional or a liar, so do not believe him.”
These developments came with Cabinet spokesman Hassan Nazim announcing yesterday that Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kazemi will go to the United States to participate in the work of the United Nations General Assembly.
Nazim said during a press conference in Baghdad that followed the cabinet session that “Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kazemi will travel to the United States to participate in the work of the United Nations General Assembly in its 77th session,” noting that “Al-Kazemi will meet high-ranking figures in New York.”[/size]
On Sunday night, leaders in the framework had reviewed warnings of the possibility of renewed demonstrations expected during the next two weeks, and talked about the existence of “evidences of the involvement of factions affiliated with leaders in the framework with orders to fire in the Green Zone.”
The politician familiar with these discussions says that “there is information about the possibility of issuing arrest warrants against some of the leaders of the factions against the background of the killing of at least 30 people in the events of al-Khadra more than two weeks ago, which increases pressure on the leaders of the framework.”
The politician also revealed that the penultimate night had circulated other proposals besides renewing confidence in Al-Kazemi related to the re-introduction of the cousin of the leader of the Sadrist movement Muqtada al-Sadr and his former candidate for the next government, Jaafar al-Sadr, as one of the compromise solutions.
In addition, the leaders of the framework discussed giving 6 ministries out of 12 supposed Shiite ministries in the new government to the Sadrist movement, despite the latter’s assertion not to participate in the government, as some forces suggested giving them to close to al-Sadr if the latter refused to take over the ministries.

I’ve mentioned before that we joined a CSA this year with Great Country Farms, and as a member of the CSA we get free admission to the many events the farm hosts. This past weekend was their Marshmallow Harvest and Easter Egg Hunt. It was basically their Opening Day and we were super excited to go.
In case you’re confused like my dad was, we were harvesting ACTUAL marshmallows. It was these cute little guys:
As with any Easter egg hunt, it was a bit of a madhouse, but we had a plan. We headed straight back, skirting between the bent-over kids, right to an open area. Carter got a bunch of eggs, but they must have spilled out by the time we got back to my husband and mother-in-law because we only made it out of the madness with 5 or 6 eggs. But Carter didn’t care…he was happy to have the ones he had! Some had stickers, some had candy, some had tiny finger puppets. He was thrilled!
After working up an appetite with the hunting, we headed over to the marshmallow roasting area. Some folks were roasting their Peeps but that idea kinda grossed me out. They were on trees and on the ground, and lord knows who touched them. I’m not a germaphobe by any stretch, but that just grossed me out. So we chose the regular large marshmallows they had in a bag.
Some more fun stuff they had:

David Cameron is deciding whether to ask the UK if he can wage another war, this time in Libya. His deliberation over military intervention in the country, comes just a couple of months after the heated vote in parliament on Cameron’s request for airstrikes in Syria.
That deeply contested win for the prime minister – MPs voted 397-223 in favour – had very little support from the UK public. So, the mainstream media have already dutifully begun pushing out pro-military action propaganda to make Cameron’s plea, if he makes it, more palatable this time around.
The debate on military action in Libya has gained momentum following a recent US intelligence assessment. Reportedly, an anonymous defence official has claimed the findings show ISIS (Daesh) is declining in Iraq and Syria, but gaining ground in Libya. On Tuesday, US secretary of state John Kerry said:
We’re still not at the victory that we want to achieve and will achieve in either Syria or Iraq, and we have seen Daesh playing a game of metastasizing out to other countries, particularly Libya…The last thing in the world you want is a false caliphate with access to billions of dollars of oil revenue.
France is also said to be keen to move towards a military solution, and Italy has suggested it would consider being involved. In fact, Algerian newspaper al-Khabar recently reported that the US, UK, and France, have already informed the Algerian government that they are planning airstrikes on Daesh in Libya – although their claim could not be independently verified.
Bomb first, think later
As the last decade and a half have shown, it is not unusual for western governments to use military action as a first resort, rather than last. They also often refuse to learn lessons from past wars. However, with the UK’s Syrian intervention very much a current issue, it’s ‘success’ should be taken into account when considering the prospect of strikes in Libya.
So, have the Syrian strikes been successful? Not at all, actually quite the opposite. As writer Tom Pride has pointed out, the strikes have even been criticised by anti-Daesh groups within the region. A Syrian journalist, working with RBBS – a collective of citizen journalists reporting from the ground – commented:
Increases every day the number of air strikes on the city, and the misfortune of civilians. Most of the strikes targeted the National Hospital, the largest hospital in the city and the lifeline for all; today the National Hospital became completely out of service, and disease has become a calamity.
Admittedly, it’s difficult to know which country carried out the strikes the journalist mentions, because there are so many militarily involved in Syria. In fact, Tom Pride points out that very few UK strikes have actually occurred, because of a lack of available targets in a battle with so many players. Extraordinarily, the UK even targeted oil fields that were already supposedly “obliterated” by Russia – that’s how sparse genuine targets actually are.
What the strikes have been successful in, is giving Daesh the anti-western propaganda they need to flourish. This is true in Syria and Iraq, and would certainly apply to Libya. Dr Arturo Varvelli, Head of Terrorism and Research Fellow at the Italian Institute for International Political Studies, spoke to Sputnik news on the matter:
An external intervention could help ISIS [Daesh] in Libya to enlarge the cooperation with other radical groups — IS could then become stronger
Seemingly, such cooperation between radical groups in Libya is already starting to happen, amid the discourse on intervention.
Hungry for more war
Despite the serious questions, and flaws, that need to be addressed before an intervention in Libya is decided, the mainstream media has already begun a propaganda campaign to justify the action. News outlets are pushing the narrative that a Daesh “surge” is occurring in Libya, where top Daesh commanders are “taking refuge“, and “control and crucifixions” dominate daily life. As Media Lens have identified:
The BBC is pulling no punches in their manipulation of the public mind. They have even made clear how readers should feel about their reporting on life in Libya:
Warning: You may find some of the content below disturbing
It is questionable that the media have taken such a strong, and dramatic, interest in exposing the troubles in Libya, at the very point when western leaders are looking to justify intervention. Even more suspicious is the lack of media attention being given to the giant Libyan elephant in the room. Journalist Glenn Greenwald sums this up with perfect ridicule here:
Daesh was handed the opportunity to flourish in Libya by the western military intervention in 2011 that toppled – in the most brutal fashion – its leader Muammar Gaddafi. Political analyst, Hafsa Kara, explained to Sputnik news:
One of the reasons ISIS is in Libya is precisely because of the NATO onslaught of 2011 which led to a power vacuum in which terrorist organizations such as ISIS actually thrive…It was hugely predictable that this would happen given the Iraqi scenario of ten years before.
The suggestion that Daesh will be defeated by the same actions that ensured its rise in the first place is utter insanity. Regardless, the media will bang the war drum in line with their governments tune in typical fashion, as we saw in the reporting leading up to the Syrian strikes. Let’s hope the public sees through this, and presses on their government the total lunacy of military intervention in Libya.
Take part in efforts by the Stop The War Coalition to resist the constant call for war.
Write to your MP to let them know what you think about military action in Libya.

**Says the whole of the South-East is not up to Niger state
Former presidential aide, Dr. Usman Bugaje, has suggested that 78% of crude oil belongs to the Northern part of Nigeria.
Bugaje stated this while justifying his comment in an interview Published by Vanguard Newspaper on Monday evening.
When he was asked that he made a claim that 78% of the oil in Nigeria belongs to the North, the former presidential aide who spoke on Bola Tinubu Presidency and his misgivings about what is happening in the country, said, I did say that the oil belongs to the North. However, let me explain.
“As we know, the constitution has made it very clear that oil and any other resources belong to the Federal Republic, yet you find some ignorant people talking about their oil.
“So, I said if we match that argument, we can still claim that the oil also belongs to the North. Why? Because 78% of oil in Nigeria is offshore. Due to the crisis and the environmental issues of taking oil from the land, most oil companies have found it more economical and peaceful to go through the sea.
“While in government, I was part of the team that was involved in the Gulf of Guinea talks (laws of the sea). What rule did we use? We used the United Nations Convention of the Law of the Sea. And what did it say? It says that every state that has a border with water would have an exclusive area, meaning a zone that is exclusive for it to do its own economic and security activities, protecting its land, its territory, and fishing.
“But, where a country wants to extend that beyond the permitted nautical miles into the sea, there are rules and regulations that would provide for how far it can go into the sea. What is the major factor that gives it mileage into the sea? It is the landmass.
Whatever we get into the sea is as a result of our landmass as Nigeria. Now, if you divide the landmass in Nigeria, 78% of the landmass of this country belongs to the North.
“As you know, the whole of the South-East states can be put inside Niger. You can also put another five states in Niger and there will still be space. One state in the North can take more than two of the spaces of the total South-East.
“The North has the landmass. What I am saying is that if 78% of that landmass gives you that mileage into the sea where your oil comes from, the 78% of whatever mileage we get into the sea can therefore be claimed because the 78% landmass belongs to the North which is the majority.
“That is the argument. If they are not satisfied with this ownership, they can go to the National Assembly requesting a change in the constitution. That way, they can make the resources wherever it is found that of the state”, he said.

These reviews are the opinion of an RVParkReviews’ member and not the views of RVParkReviews.com
Date of Stay: April, 2015 - $15.00
We have been coming here for years before the owners that are here now. The store has everything you need. We can grab a sub when we get back and if I don't feel like cooking. What we love is they now have sewer; especially, where your going to be here a couple of months. Don't have to pull off or pay to be pumped. I don't know if it's me or what, but the site width seems smaller. They have enlarged the campground and it seems we are awful close to our neighbor. I asked and was told no but I think they have. The WiFi works when it wants to. I have a back up but it still is frustrating when they advertise WiFi. Anything negative will not prevent us from coming back. These folks go out of their way to do their best. It's just off the turnpike, so snowbirds give it a try. They turned things around and you don't even hear the turnpike anymore.
This is a no frills campground and it's nice to just relax. We camped at Ye Olde Mill Campground in a Motorhome.
Next door is Cowans Gap. A PA state park. Beautiful. We take a picnic lunch over there and enjoy watching people swim or in their boats. To get to Chambersburg, go through Cowans Gap, take right at bottom of curvy hill, at end go left on 30 to Chambersburg. Can take 30 straight to Gettysburg....probably 45 min drive if little traffic.
Date of Stay: September, 2014 - $32.00
Just needs some TLC on facilities. Store well stocked. Sites close together. Slide was only two feet from next site's awning. Looks like some of guest are living here. No cell service. Wi-Fi was weak at best. Will not return We camped at Ye Olde Mill Campground in a Motorhome.Undo
Date of Stay: August, 2014 - $19.00
The rate reflects a Passport America discount. We called ahead and reserved a full hookup pull-through spot. Our spot was a pull-through but I guess they don't understand what full hookup is...there was no sewer hookup available. They offer a "honey wagon" service for an additional $5. They also have a dump spot that is located on the passenger side of the RV, as you leave. The roads were gravel, as was the site, which was level. The laundry room was somewhat clean and had several washers and dryers. The camp store was well stocked with a variety of food items at reasonable prices. We would stay again on a passing through basis. We camped at Ye Olde Mill Campground in a Motorhome.Undo
Date of Stay: June, 2014 - $36.00
Campground is near the highway, but you don't hear much noise. Place was pretty full with pipe line workers staying by the month. Owners are nice. Bathroom and showers are the worst I've seen. I didn't dare touch anything and wouldn't use them. Has electric and water hookups, WiFi, and cable TV. We camped at Ye Olde Mill Campground in a Motorhome.Undo
Date of Stay: September, 2012 - $28.00
Nice folks in office. Kept up nice and large long spaces for long rigs. Good pull thru sites,nice and level. Stay as close to office as possible if you need strong wifi. Office Lady worked hard to make it work better, even came to our motorhome to see if we could get on wifi. Worked faily well after that. I am on it now typing this, so working well. Lots of truck traffic noise from freeway. Would stay here again if we were passing thru. if you want passport price must stay Mon thru Thru. Not Friday like us. We camped at Ye Olde Mill Campground in a Motorhome.Undo
Date of Stay: August, 2012 - $18.00
Several pull-through 50amp sites suitable for big rigs were available. All well graded gravel pads surrounded by grass. Grass was well maintained and the sites were level with a number of shaded back-in sites. The pull-through sites had no trees. The staff was friendly and helpful. Greatest negative about this campground is the proximity of the Interstate highway. There was a lot of road noise which made sleep difficult. Otherwise a clean campground at good Passport America rates. We camped at Ye Olde Mill Campground in a Motorhome.Undo
Date of Stay: July, 2012 - $15.00
The rate is Passport America. This is a small campground in an open field along the Pennsylvania Turnpike so there is a lot of noise. A pretty creek flows along one edge. The bathhouse is old and there was the smell of mold. We would stay here again if Turnpike travel called for it. We camped at Ye Olde Mill Campground in a Travel Trailer.Undo
Date of Stay: October, 2010 - $25.00
Very pleasant operation, very friendly and helpful owners. Has on site store, this not a resort but a fun, regular folks campground. No sewer hookups but has a dump station. They operate a grist mill on site and sell some of their own products. Some highway noise behind you but you hardly notice. We stayed two nights while visiting the East Broad Top Railroad at Rockhill Furnace, PA. Also a Good Sam park. Would stay here again if in the area. We camped at Ye Olde Mill Campground in a Fifth Wheel.Undo
Date of Stay: October, 2010 - $15.00
DO NOT TRY TO ENTER THE CAMPGROUND FROM THE S.E. if you are as large as we are. Follow the campgrounds directions from their website. Though there is a dump station on the grounds, you must enter against the one way signs to gain access. Management expects this to happen, but it is disconcerting at first. The campground is located right beside the PA turnpike so if you are bothered by noise this is not the place for you to stay. We were on a 50 amp site and the power was excellent regardless of the load. We use an air card and the reception for it, cell phone, and the satellite were excellent. I noticed that the park had a Wi-Fi signal, but it was only one bar at our mid-campground site. We were here to photograph the fall colors and would stay here again. We camped at Ye Olde Mill Campground in a Motorhome.Undo
Date of Stay: August, 2008 - $20.00
Would have been a 10, but not full hook ups. They are slowly putting in 50 amp. They have one at the present time. We have been coming here for years. A few years ago new owners took over and they are the nicest owners we have met. Trying real hard to improve the campground. Open to suggestions. They now offer CampClub USA and Good Sam. I used Good Sam, hence the price. This campground is right off the PA turnpike and very easy to find. Road noise is hardly noticeable. We camp here once or twice a year and will continue to do so.

The campground is under new ownership this season and the camp owners were friendly, pleasant, fun and very helpful. Entering the campground you drive passed the historic Grist Mill which is owned and operated by the campground owners. The owner gave us a tour of the grist mill which boasts the heritage of the little town. The mill is a working stone mill that produces a secret recipe of pancake and cornmeal mixes. We were given a free sample of the pancake mix, which was absolutely wonderful. A log building hosts the camp store which added to the historic setting. The store was well stocked and even included dairy products shipped in direct from Lancaster County. All the items in the store were very reasonably priced. We are excited about going back again, being the first year for the new owners, they have great ideas for upcoming season including many vast improvements that they will be making. There were plenty of hiking trails and look-outs which we took advantage of. The campground is located by the turnpike, therefore there was some road noise, but the stay was well worth it.

What’s a girl to do when she finds herself stranded in a snow storm in a BDSM club in a castle, with a Dom she’s lusted after for years?
At some time in their life, everyone has choices to make.
For Shane, it could be a chance to rediscover her love of kink.
For Ross, it’s the chance to tempt her to be his kitten.
But Shane has to settle some demons before she can move forward.
Until then, well a little playing wouldn’t matter—would it?
However, play can become serious, and decisions have to be made that could change both their lives forever.
This is their chance to be together as Dom and sub or wave goodbye. But at Diomhair, nothing is as straightforward as you hope, and Ross and Shane have a lot to do, before they can say yes—or no.
Reader Advisory: This book contains scenes of spanking, Shibari, rigging and references to abuse.
General Release Date: 20th March 2015
The flight was long and the woman in the next seat a pain in the arse. Shane thanked every god she’d heard of—and made a mental note that if there was any she hadn’t heard of she’d thank them as well—that she was in an aisle seat and had her noise blocking headphones on instead of the ones the airline had given her.
Even though she’d sprung for business class—and in effect she had her own personal space—the woman was a walking, talking annoyance, and much too close. Every time Shane put up the privacy screen—surely an indication that she didn’t want to be sociable—the woman pushed it down again and began to make inane comments. She even burbled on about Shane’s top and how she would go to the same shop to buy one. As it was a plain white tee, Shane decided the woman talked about any old thing because she was lonely or scared.
For a brief second she did feel a pang of sympathy. Terror was a horrible thing to experience alone. Then the woman asked for a double gin and knocked it back in one go, and Shane’s sympathy disappeared as fast as the gin. She remembered she’d noticed her in the lounge, drinking glass after glass of the champagne on offer like a lush in a desert. This had happened both back in Australia and when they’d transferred planes in Hong Kong. Shane heard her tell anyone who would listen she hated to fly.
That wasn’t something that bothered Shane. She loved it.
“Would you like a drink, madam?” The cabin crew member smiled at Shane as she offered a selection of beverages.
“Gin and tonic please,” the woman in the next seat said, interrupting the girl rather rudely, Shane thought. It seemed the crew member thought the same.
“One moment, madam, I’ll get to you when I’ve served this lady.” She turned back to Shane and briefly raised her eyebrows.
“Water, please, I hate being dehydrated, and too much alcohol does that to me.”
The other passenger snorted. “Helps me sleep.”
Oh if only. Shane took her water and sat back in her seat again. The other passenger took her gin and tonic and looked over at Shane.
“You’re only young once, love. Enjoy yourself.”
“I do, thank you.” Shane did her best to be civil, but also show she wasn’t interested in chatting. It didn’t work. In the end, after several more exchanges of banalities, Shane did something she’d never thought herself capable of. Total rudeness. She shoved the opaque screen upward and heard it click. Then she said good night very firmly and ignored the injured hiss from the other side. It was that or find a policeman waiting to arrest her as she disembarked, on the charge of causing a disturbance on an aircraft.
That would make my brothers think they were right to worry. I’d never get out without a chaperone ever again.
The drone of the engines should have been enough of a constant background noise to lull Shane to sleep. Usually she was one of those people her mum said could sleep standing up and she never had problems dropping off, even after that time. Except now. Maybe it was the thought of what she needed to do, but as she stretched out on her flat bed and tucked the airline blanket around her, Shane couldn’t even doze. Her mind jumped from one thought to another like a fly dodging a swatter, and she almost sat up, flicked down the privacy shield and demanded the woman on the other side annoy her once more.
That thought was enough to make her punch the tiny pillow into a heap, wish it was a certain, luckily now deceased man’s face, roll onto her side and fall into an uneasy sleep. Her dreams were elusive and she woke up a couple of hours later with gritty eyes and feeling like she’d not slept for a week. Which, she thought with hindsight, wasn’t far wrong. It was one thing knowing she needed to go to Scotland and find out for herself how someone was faring, another to actually persuade her brothers she knew what she was doing. Especially as she wasn’t really sure she did. Her brothers were more than loving watch dogs. They cared for her. It was only the knowledge of just how much they cared and how they had put their lives on the line on her behalf that kept her from railing against their constant attention.
No wonder she hadn’t told them about her trip until it was all booked and paid for. Even then they’d argued the toss and demanded she take one of them with her. It was only when she told them it was something she had to do for herself, to lay the demons to rest and move on that they’d agreed. Albeit with the proviso she keep in touch with one of them at every stage of her journey.

Land, sea and sky: volunteering in Africa with animals
Posted: February 7, 2020
Whether it’s in the sea, the sky, or on land, there are plenty of ways you can contribute as a volunteer with animals in Africa.
Africa is the second-largest continent in the world, so it’s not surprising that there are so many different volunteer opportunities in Africa. And with such varied landscapes and animal species, there are a variety of volunteer programs in Africa that cover different areas of interest.
Let’s look at three areas of volunteer opportunities: volunteering in the oceans, on land, and with the creatures of the sky.
Monitor life below water in Zanzibar
A promise of each morning, the sun rises. The ocean surface transforms into a sight resembling a disco ball as it catches the light.
Waves gently crash down against the beaches, chasing crabs along the sand and back into their burrowed holes.
A local fishing boat glides along the water, mimicking the motion of the ocean’s current.
Dolphins emerge and disappear with the speed it takes to blink.
This is Zanzibar.
Spanning across a series of islands on the warm Indian Ocean, Zanzibar boasts some of the most extraordinary ocean landscapes in the world.
Other concerns include a few reported collisions between dolphins and tour boats. Tourism surrounding these ocean mammals also exposes them to noise pollution, which has the potential to lead to hearing impairments. Dolphins are also exposed to increased environmental pollution from the exhaust fumes produced by boats.
You will be promoting ethical and sustainable tourism methods through running workshops to promote marine conservation in the area. As a volunteer, you will also be able to contribute to the sustainability of dolphin tourism by working towards specific long-term goals.
These goals include:
1)monitoring dolphin behaviour for research purposes and to protect the species
2)surveying the impact of tourism on dolphin behaviour to help promote eco-tourism around Zanzibar
3)running workshops with local boat and tour operators to educate them about ethical dolphin tourism.
This Zanzibar-based conservation program adheres to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (UN SDG) 14: Life Below Water.
Help protect the residents of South Africa’s skies
Gradually, and then all at once, the quiet is disrupted by the morning birdsong like an alarm clock. A lion joins in, causing their neighbours to rise and join in with the African animals’ morning cries.
Trees rustle as the birds set off for the day. In their carefully constructed V-formation, migratory birds are already en-route to find their next nesting spot.
The intensity of the African sun increases with each passing minute.
Wake up to this sensory adventure each morning from the Karongwe Private Game Reserve in the heart of the South African savannah.
With so much going on in our day-to-day lives we often forget to look up and appreciate the diversity and importance of the inhabitants of the sky.
Scavenging raptors are one type of bird with a significantly increasing risk of extinction, with the nearby Kruger National Park creating a safe haven for the species. Other birds listed as endangered include: most of South Africa’s vulture species, the tawny eagle, the bateleur, and many more.
Here, tasks may involve monitoring the population of Aldabra giant tortoises that roam freely on the island.
Programs are run in partnership with Seychelles National Parks Authority. This is to ensure efforts made by volunteers in Africa are viable and bring about a sustainable impact.
Volunteer work could involve tasks such as gathering tortoise shell measurements, conducting annual census of population numbers and counting the number of hatchlings and juvenile tortoises.
The animals in Africa, whether from the sea, the land or the sky, all form part of what makes Africa so beautifully diverse. It is a privilege to share a continent with all these creatures and, as humans, it is important to ensure their livelihood is sustained for generations to come. By volunteering in Africa with animals you can contribute to the conservation of Africa’s diverse animal kingdom.
If you’re interested in volunteering with animals, then a volunteer trip to Africa may be perfect for you. Check out GVI’s volunteer opportunities in Africa and you could be on your way to make an impact with animals before you know it.

Greece offered new measures including a tax hike on shipping companies and scrapping tax breaks for its islands in the latest proposal sent to creditors on Thursday for a cash-for-reforms deal.
Euro zone leaders will hold an emergency summit on Monday to try to avert a Greek default after bank withdrawals accelerated and government revenue slumped.
The European Central Bank raised the amount of emergency funding for Greece's troubled banks by 2.3 billion euros on Wednesday, banking sources said, as negotiations between Athens and its creditors reached a critical stage.
European leaders told Greece on Friday to return to the negotiating table for "intensive work" to wrap up a reform agreement before cash runs out, sidestepping Athens' demand for a comprehensive, long-term solution to its troubles.
European lenders on Tuesday played down Greek hopes of a swift end to negotiations on an aid agreement and warned talks must speed up before the country runs out of cash.
Bernanke,T. Boone Pickens, Larry Summers & Chuck Hagel top SALT's power players.
Hey Europe, let it go. Let Greece go. Here’s why it’s time to move on.
Germany, long a bright spot in Europe’s troubled economy, is sustaining what appears to be a significant blow from turbulence in Russia and Ukraine.
How does the U.S. economy do it? Europe is floundering.
The European Central Bank is expected to keep interest rates unchanged when it concludes its monthly policy meeting Thursday despite further signs that the 18-country eurozone economy is losing momentum.
Asian stock markets were lackluster Thursday as traders turned cautious ahead of a U.S. jobs report and the monthly policy meeting of the European Central Bank.
A crackdown by U.S. regulators on European banks has European Central Bank officials concerned that the stiff penalties could further destabilize Europe’s already fragile banking system.
The European Central Bank’s long-time spokesperson will leave to head up the communications division of Germany’s largest lender.
The European Central Bank held its main refinancing rate at 0.5%, matching Wall Street’s expectations.
European Union regulators published guidelines to stop the rigging of Libor in an interim measure before a more far-reaching EU law comes in.
The bank's chairman said the pace of reform in the banking industry must be accelerated to avoid investor confidence in the sector being undermined.
Central bankers around the world continue to have unprecedented influence over global financial markets.
Japan's central bank unleashed a $1.4 trillion, open-ended asset program Thursday as Tokyo looks to jumpstart the economy after decades of stagnation.

participating in trade union activities. Unlawful termination gives
rise to potential claims for unreasonable and unlawful termination
against the employer. Unless the employer is able to show a valid

termination, a Labour Tribunal can order re-instatement or

re-engagement is made, the Tribunal can require the employer to pay
the employee terminal payments and/or compensation up to a maximum
of HK$150,000. The anticipated bill proposes to empower the Labour
Tribunal to make a compulsory order for re-instatement or

Rodney Kimsey, who has been in the hospital for evaluation, will face charges of felony murder and aggravated assault once he’s released, the AJC reported.
Rodney Kimsey, 31, was found “acting erratically” by police a few houses of away from 4295 Platinum Court, where Melissa Kimsey, 30, was found dead with multiple gunshot wounds.
Police were called to the residence when the couple’s 13-year-old daughter called 911. The girl reportedly witnessed the shooting. She was not injured.
A weapon was recovered at the scene.

Good wine is a labour-intensive product, and the labour in question is highly skilled and ever more informed by scientific knowledge. In a country like the United States, where qualifications are real and therefore a costly investment, good wine is bound to be expensive.
Moreover, the combination of patriotism and Parker (Robert, the country’s leading wine critic), not to speak of the sheer wealth of the suburban middle classes, has ensured that the average American wino will happily spend $35 on a bottle of Californian Cabernet Sauvignon, even when there is a perfectly acceptable claret available at half the price. Hence good American wine is now unaffordable, and those of us who come to America to enjoy our freedom must continue to import the stuff that enables us to tolerate the freedom of everyone else.
A solution to this problem is Argentinian Malbec, which sells at roughly $10 a bottle, is never undrinkable, and is usually hangover-proof. The Malbec is the dominant grape in Cahors, and is used in smallish quantities to improve the colour and fruit of the Bordeaux blends.
The grape was brought to Argentina in the early 20th century but did not rise at that time to export status – or even to the status of a valued local product. The Argentinians remained major importers of French wine until quite recently, when they began to import French winemakers instead.
The Buenos Aires government awoke from its long stupor at last and began to subsidise the indigenous wine industry. But it recommended that growers uproot the Malbec and replace it with Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Only very late in the day did the government realise that Argentina’s soil and climate are perfectly suited to the Malbec, and that the resulting product would, if properly marketed, in heavy bottles stamped all over with their carbon footprint, entirely change the drinking habits of North Americans.
Malbec’s deep purple colour, which verges on black, has a strong appeal to people who still see wine as an intruder from the primeval darkness. And it has a kind of rounded, boiled-sweet savour in the mouth, not unlike that of Coca-Cola, which perfectly suits American cuisine. It is probably the only wine to drink with lobster in chocolate sauce, or with beef and pineapple on a blue crab risotto.
True, Argentinian Malbec tastes better in company than when drunk alone on the porch, while listening to the tree frogs. Still, it has helped me through a couple of weeks of solitude, never upsetting either the head or the stomach, and doing what only wine can do with proper grace and tact, which is to tell me in the gentlest of tones to shut down the computer, get up from my desk, and read something that has stood the test of time, instead of writing something that will soon be forgotten. So here goes.

It was the call heard 'round the world.
A May 2 virtual meeting meant for Trenton officials to discuss fighting the devastating coronavirus in the Capital City devolved into a mudslinging free-for-all of homophobic slurs and insults.
Of course, someone leaked the audio, and the next day the mayor released it to the media.
Now three weeks later, after sheepish explanations were offered and apologies uttered, the city’s government is still inching towards a political meltdown.
Trenton’s mayor and two of its city council members now face the threat of recall.
The chance of even getting enough signatures for the recall elections against Mayor Reed Gusciora and council members Robin Vaughn and Joseph Harrison is a tall order, and the campaign against Harrison has already started to fall apart.
But the sheer existence of three recall efforts at once seems unprecedented in New Jersey, a state not unfamiliar with public officials being accused of wrongdoing.
Marc Pfeiffer, assistant director of Rutgers’ Bloustein Local Government Research Center, said that no statewide records are kept of recall efforts each year. Still, he estimates that there’s typically no more than two or three recalls in the Garden State in a given year.
In this case, the attempted ouster is just one of several calamities city leaders are facing. The city has over 2,300 cases of the coronavirus, and 55 have died. The majority of residents are people of color, whom data have shown are disproportionately affected by the virus. Many businesses remain shuttered by the virus, while owners’ savings dwindle and disappear.
And in a time when New Jersey has seen crime go down as more people stay home, Trenton has experienced a wave of gun violence. In the past 10 days, five people have been killed in public shootings. And in early April, the city had three gun killings in just a few hours one night.
Several of the leaders embroiled in the political fight have labeled the drama a distraction from the serious issues plaguing the city. Council President Kathy McBride did so, while reminding anyone listening that the real creep here was the person who leaked the audio.
"I don’t want to spend another day with this conversation and with the other things going on that distract me and my colleagues from the pandemic,” McBride said at a virtual council meeting Thursday — the same meeting in which Vaughn and Harrison survived censure resolutions stemming from the May 2 conference call.
It remains to be seen if the recall petitions are a grassroots effort from voters sick of childish behavior from their elected officials, or targeted campaigns by close supporters of the two factions. Either way, the strained relationships between the city leaders have become toxic divides.
Mayor Reed Gusciora has had a tense relationship with the Trenton City Council since he took office, with frequent flare-ups on a range of issues.
But things escalated to new heights on May 2, when West Ward Councilwoman Robin Vaughn unloaded on East Ward Councilman Joe Harrison and Gusciora during a conference call for the local leaders to discuss the city’s response to the coronavirus.
In her rant, Vaughn called Gusciora a "pedophile,” a “woman” and a “bitch a**,” among a flood of expletives.
When Harrison tried to intervene, calling Vaughn a “crazy person,” the councilwoman accused the councilman of performing a sexual act on Gusciora, who is the city’s first openly gay mayor, and attacked his relationship with his parents.
“Why don’t you go find your father, Joe Harrison?” Vaughn said at one point, in an apparent reference to Harrison’s absent father.
Vaughn was blasted for her comments. In the days following the rant, Gov. Phil Murphy, U.S. Senators Cory Booker and Bob Menendez joined other state leaders and advocacy groups in calling for her resignation.
The councilwoman eventually apologized, but refused to resign.
“I am deeply and specifically sorry for the language that has offended so many. It was also not my intent to attack anyone on the basis of any classification or personal preferences, but I should have been more sensitive to the potential implication of my words and how they might be perceived,” Vaughn said in a statement on social media.
It was a familiar situation for Vaughn, who in September found herself embroiled in scandal when she defended Council President Kathy McBride’s use of an anti-semitic slur during a council meeting. Vaughn later apologized for defending McBride.
There’s a chance Vaughn’s rant never would’ve reached public ears, if it wasn’t for a leak to the press. That’s because for weeks, Trenton held its daily COVID-19 calls behind closed doors, in violation of the state’s open meeting laws.
Days after Vaughn’s rant, Harrison introduced a resolution to censure the West Ward councilwoman for her conduct. Vaughn responded with a censure resolution of her own against Harrison. In the resolutions, both Vaughn and Harrison criticized each other for indecorous language and improper conduct.
The dueling measures were heard at this past Thursday’s council meeting, but in the end, both Vaughn and Harrison survived censure. The resolution against Vaughn failed on a 3-4 vote, with Vaughn joining McBride, South Ward Councilman George Muschal and Councilman-at-Large Santiago Rodriguez in voting in her own favor.
The resolution to censure Harrison was unanimously rejected, with even Vaughn voting against the measure she introduced.
The recalls begin
The issue, though, is far from over.
While the censure efforts foundered, three more challenges to the three politicians emerged.
On May 18, a committee of five West Ward residents filed a petition to recall Vaughn in a special election.
But within another two days, the petition seeking Harrison’s ouster was dead in the water. Lisa Morris, one of the three who signed on as the recall committee for Harrison to launch the petition, asked the city clerk’s office to remove her name from it, according to the office. Since the petition requires at least three signatories, the petition cannot go forward as is.
Morris did not return calls Thursday or Friday but told the Trentonian she was misled into signing onto the committee and she was “done with it.”
All three of the politicians — Gusciora, Vaughn and Harrison — took office in July 2018 and are less than halfway through their four year terms.
Bernard McMullan, a West Ward resident on the committee to recall Vaughn for conduct unbecoming a public official, said it may be a logistical challenge to collect thousands of signatures while observing social distancing guidelines. But he is confident there are enough residents out there who would like to see Vaughn removed, given her refusal to resign.
“Her reactions and statements just go beyond the pale of respectfulness and decency that’s required of someone in public office,” McMullan said. He said the committee is still getting materials together and hasn’t started collecting signatures yet.
Speaking at Thursday’s council meeting, Vaughn blasted her critics and reiterated that she would not resign. She welcomed the recall against her, and said she’s confident that she has more than enough support to remain in office.
“I’m not resigning. I pay taxes on this city. I’m going to make sure whatever work I can do to move this city forward, I’m going to do it. And ain’t nobody going to stop me,” Vaughn said. “If those voters come to the poll and say ‘Robin, times up, we’re not happy with you,’ that’s the democratic process.”
Messages left for two of the committee members seeking a recall of Harrison were not returned. Cherie Garrette, from the committee to recall Gusciora, said the group is not commenting at this time.
To force a recall election of a ward council member, a quarter of the registered voters in their ward must sign a petition. McMullan said the county has yet to certify the exact number, but he expects it will be between 3,600 and 3,800 signatures in the West Ward.
McMullan does not expect the other recall efforts to go very far, especially given the mayoral recall election would require a quarter of all registered voters in the city to sign the petition. But said he understands the other committees’ motivations.
“People are teed off, in terms of the tenor of non-political decision making in Trenton, and no one looked good on that call,” he said. "And there’s been a lot of obstructionism, a lot of name calling, a lot of finger pointing about all kinds of things in Trenton and I think people are sort of fed up.”
A Trenton resident for 37 years who worked on the campaign of Gusciora’s opponent in 2018, McMullan said that the capital city has always had some degree of discord between council factions, and the occasional “blow up," but the lack of decorum this time around has him rolling his eyes.
Gusciora is now the first Trenton mayor to face recall since Tony Mack, who eventually beat the recall effort in 2011 before being removed from office by a judge and convicted of corruption charges and sentenced to federal prison in 2014.
The petition to recall Gusciora petition cited “failure to perform mayoral duties,” “abuse of power” and “conduct unbecoming of an elected official.”
The mayor said he’s not surprised that a recall committee was formed against him after the recall effort against Vaughn went public; he sees the move as retaliatory.
“They’re all supporters of Robin [Vaughn] and Kathy [McBride],” Gusciora said of the recall leaders targeting him.
Gusciora added that he’s not worried about the threat of recall, saying he’s confident that he has a broad base of support in the Capital City.
“I’ve got bigger fish to fry," Gusciora said. "We’ve got a pandemic we need to respond to.”
Gusciora, who lives in Trenton’s West Ward, said he has not been in contact with any of the recall committees but he supports the effort against Vaughn.
“If somebody knocked on my door, I probably would,” Gusciora said of signing a Vaughn recall petition.
Vaughn and Gusciora have a bitter relationship. The mayor’s administration has taken the councilwoman to court twice for alleged violations of the Faulkner Act, the law that lays out the rules for how Trenton’s government operates, according to The Trentionian.
“I’ve been in politics for 25 years. I’ve never seen anybody as irrational and destructive as Robin," Gusciora said. "I even put up with Chris Christie, and he called me numbnuts.”
Vaughn and Harrison did not respond to NJ Advance Media’s requests for comments.
David Ponton, an East Ward resident and community activist who helped lead the recall effort against Mack in 2011, said he thinks the effort against Vaughn has a real chance of success, but doesn’t believe that the recalls of Gusciora and Harrison stand much of a chance.
The main lesson from the Mack recall, Ponton said, was that the only chance of success is to have deep community support and engagement. Ponton believes that there is widespread support against Vaughn, but he doubts the community feels the same way about Gusciora and Harrison.
“I don’t think that they will get a third of the signatures that we got against [Mack], against [Gusciora,]" Ponton said. "There was a real issue with Tony. There was no real issue with Reed.”
Ponton also said that he believed that the committee against Vaughn has put more thought and effort into their planning, whereas the committees against Gusciora and Harrison appear to have come together much more hastily.
“I don’t think that the committee to recall Joe Harrison understand what they’re getting into. I don’t think that the committee to recall the mayor know what they’re getting into,” Ponton said. “The committee to recall Robin Vaughn? They know what they’re getting into.”
The recall process puts heavy pressure on the municipal clerk, who must certify every signature collected by each of the recall committees. That challenge may amplified in Trenton, where it’s unclear who will be serving as clerk to do that work.
City Clerk Dwayne Harris abruptly resigned earlier this month, with his last day in office being May 22. Harris, who already has a new job lined up in the borough of Berlin, said he left because he felt the council wanted him to.
“They advertised for a new clerk so I assumed they didn’t want me and [I] went and found a new position,” Harris replied to a resident’s question in the chatroom of Thursday’s virtual council meeting.
Harris will be replaced at least temporarily by Eric Berry, who served as the city’s business administrator under Mack. Berry does not have a registered municipal clerk certification, which he would need to do the job permanently.
