Twenty-ninth Sunday in Ordinary Time| Year A
The Pharisees went away to work out between them how to trap Jesus in what he said. And they sent their disciples to him, together with the Herodians, to say, ‘Master, we know that you are an honest man and teach the way of God in an honest way, and that you are not afraid of anyone, because a man’s rank means nothing to you. Tell us your opinion, then. Is it permissible to pay taxes to Caesar or not?’ But Jesus was aware of their malice and replied, ‘You hypocrites! Why do you set this trap for me? Let me see the money you pay the tax with.’ They handed him a denarius and he said, ‘Whose head is this? Whose name?’ ‘Caesar’s ‘ they replied. He then said to them, ‘Very well, give back to Caesar what belongs to Caesar – and to God what belongs to God.’
The Pharisees got one thing right about Jesus when they set out to trap him over the question of paying Roman taxes. “You are not afraid of anyone, because a man’s rank means nothing to you,” they said to him.
Rank meant everything to the Pharisees, because it fed their egos and gave them power over others in the society of their time. Jesus’ refusal to bow down before them or to treat them with deference made them see him as a threat to their power.
Our upbringing may have led us to believe that great deference should be given to certain people. There may be an element of fear involved if we perceive that certain people have power over us because of their rank or status in our culture or society. We may even allow ourselves to be led by them or ordered to do certain things. These circumstances may feed a sense of inferiority which is quite at variance with our human dignity.
If we have a strong desire to achieve rank or status, we may indulge in behaviours that are at odds with our Christian calling. In these circumstances others may be perceived as inferior and available to be used to achieve our own ends.
If we are in either of these situations, some thought needs to be given to how to chart a new path in our lives. Jesus calls us to do good works because that is a natural expression of our love for him and for others. It is how he works in the world. He does not call us to achieve great rank or status, nor has he decreed that we are to be subservient to others.
Truly great people, such as Mother Teresa of Calcutta was, become so because their love for Jesus and for others enables them to see the human dignity inherent in every person, and they respond with extraordinary service.
We need to understand to understand our own human dignity. We are loved by God, brought into existence by him, and not ranked in his eyes. Why should we let rank or status – ours or that of others - rule our lives?

Latin Aid Bill Advances in Senate
Special to The New York Times
Published: April 25, 1990
WASHINGTON, April 24— The Senate Appropriations Committee approved a special $2.6 billion spending bill tonight that provides the full $300 million aid President Bush requested for Nicaragua and $420 million of the $500 million he sought for Panama.
Approval came after a 15-to-14 vote by which the panel rejected an attempt by its chairman, Senator Robert C. Byrd, Democrat of West Virginia, to cut $200 million from the Panama aid request and redirect some of that money to assist Eastern Europe and Chile. The full Senate will take up the aid package on Wednesday.
The House approved the Central American aid earlier this month as part of its version of the larger spending bill, which also includes funds for a variety of domestic programs including food stamps and the Census Bureau. Differences between the two versions will have to be worked out in conference.
One provision that could cause serious delay is language adopted by the Senate committee that would permit the District of Columbia to use local funds to pay for abortions. The House bill has no such provision, and President Bush vetoed similar language last year. Another potential source for problems on the Senate floor is language inserted by Mr. Byrd to set aside $10 million for the establishment of an American embassy in ''the independent Republic of Lithuania'' should the United States formally recognize Lithuania.

Depression after divorce dating amy ryan dating
During those two years, Miller took very good care of herself, however.She went out and had fun with girlfriends, took classes and read a lot of “self-help books.” She went to the spa and pampered herself, and even consulted a psychic who offered her some kooky, albeit, helpful advice, “She told me I had to bless my ex and mean it.” Taking that advice wasn’t easy “because intellectually I knew I was better off, but emotionally I was still heartbroken. What I found particularly interesting about the presentation was how much the presenter emphasized the difference between clinical depression and what I call situational depression (the kind that is often experienced in divorce). The topic of discussion for this particular luncheon was electronic medical records and how they might impact divorces.
The biggest difference between situational depression and clinical depression is that loss, like death or divorce, causes situational depression.
Eighteen months after my marriage ended, I jumped into a heady, sexually intense year-long relationship with a fellow writer and parent who was 20 years older than I was.
In hindsight, it was no surprise it ended — his kids were grown, mine were tiny, our lives were at different points.
The following article discusses the wide range of emotions that people experience after divorce, as well as highlighting what can happen when a couple is unable to emotionally separate from each other.
Emotions after Divorce by Darlene Lancer Separation and divorce is an emotional process, not just physical and legal event.

Update Oct. 18: The Senate has come to the decision to modify the House bill to include all states, not just ones with unemployment rates greater than 8.5%. The change will come in the form of S. Amndt. 2668 to the House Bill, H.R. 3548 according to Open Congress blogger Donny Shaw.
In normal times, unemployment benefits last twenty-six weeks after someone loses their job. In normal times, it takes newly unemployed people less than 26 weeks to find a job… until today. But we aren’t in normal times. According to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, this is the first time since 1948, when they started collecting this information, that the average time it takes to find a job is longer than the 26 weeks of state unemployment benefits.
The House of Representatives passed a bill last month (H.R. 3548) that would extend unemployment benefits in high-unemployment states by 13 weeks. The Senate is debating similar bills (S. 1699 was referred to committee) and the fight is over who gets benefits and how much.
S. 1699 would give an extra 13 weeks to states with unemployment rates higher than 8.5% funded by extending unemployment tax on employers.

Liquid Crystals and Cellulose Derivatives Composites
This chapter summarizes recently developed researches concerning cellulose derivatives composites obtained by blending of cellulose derivatives or of cellulose derivatives with different polymers, as well as by processes involving nano-particles in the cellulose derivative matrix. Knowledge and understanding of the interactions manifested in these cellulose systems constitute essential elements for the conception and optimization of novel structures. Different characterization techniques allow a more complete evaluation of the mechanisms of multicomponent systems, of their fundamental interactions, such as hydrogen bonding, and the manner in which these interactions affect the final properties. This research reveals the relation between the molecular interactions and physical properties, which represents an important challenge from both scientific and industrial perspectives. On the other hand, the chapter shows that, like many other cellulose derivatives, hydroxypropylcellulose (HPC), is the most common ether of native cellulose, whose concentrated solutions possess optical properties characteristic to cholesteric liquid crystals. In crystalline state, on one hand, these types of cellulose present specific arrangements, while, on the other, these arrangements depend on the concentration of their solutions. In cellulose derivative composites, the absence or presence of liquid crystals properties is dependent on mixture composition, solution concentration and used solvent, according to the application in biomedical or electronic domain.

While there is good information in the previous writeups I wanted to add a piece of I felt was missing. Soaking your almonds in warm water increases the bioavailability of the nutrients in your final product. Most nuts, seeds and grains benefit from a soak. The following recipe is my amalgamation of several others I have used in the past.
It is in your best interest to buy organic almonds. If you are avoiding wheat or have other food allergies/intolerances please note that almonds are frequently processed with other foods. Blue Diamond is a good brand for raw almonds however I avoid using them for this recipe as they do not sprout. Their commercially produced almond milk is superior to other brands and the last time I checked their almonds were non-GMO. Almonds are typically steam pastuerized, this may affect your efforts.
- 1 Cup (120 grams) raw Almonds
- 1 Tablespoon Coconut Oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt - optional
After rinsing allow your almonds to bathe in warm water with or without the optional salt. Your almonds should sprout within eight hours - generally I prepare the nuts at night and harvest the milk in the morning. After sprouting rinse, sort, and remove the skins. Sprouted almonds are quite slippery and must be handled with care. While preskinned almonds are available I have not had as much success with them.
Transfer your naked nuts to the grinder you prefer be it blender or food processor. Coconut oil brings out the sweetness of the nuts, I use a generous tablespoon and a splash of fresh spring water before mixing. You can skip the oil however your milk will be thinner and in my opinion less tasty. The advantage is your containers will be much easier to clean.
Process your almonds and additional coconut oil until you have a slurry. Gradually add water, typically I use four cups of water for every cup of almonds. Run your blender or food processor until your mixture appears to have gone into solution. It will gradually settle however a consistent mix is what you are aiming for here. I store my milk in quart sized European glass yogurt jars. My recipe yields a creamy top, I do not strain the milk so anyone using it must shake it vigorously.
This milk is not bad on its own although if you do not strain it the texture takes some getting used to. I have used this milk to prepare cream based soups, over cereal, and can drink it as a stand alone liquid. It fails miserably at hot cocoa so if someone has a good dairy free substitute that tastes like the real thing I would appreciate that information. My children hate almond milk however they don't complain about it in recipes and sometimes can't tell that it has been used. Best of luck if you try this or any other recipe I've posted.

There are many foods that give you a brief sugar rush before you come crashing down. In fact, it’s probably the case with more foods than you think! Luckily, the glycemic index (GI) and the glycemic load (GL) exist to help us navigate this tricky terrain of keeping your blood sugar levels in check. Let’s find out how certain fruits with low GI and GL can help you to regulate your blood glucose.
- The glycemic index (GI) denotes the rate at which carbohydrates play an effect on our blood glucose levels,
- The lower the GI score of a food item, the slower the blood sugar rise, while foods with a higher GI score are broken down faster by the body resulting in a faster rise,
- There are plenty of fruits that help regulate blood sugar levels which can be consumed as a whole or made into a smoothie to reap the benefits.
What Is the Glycemic Index?
The glycemic index (GI) tells us how quickly carbohydrate-containing foods will affect our blood glucose level when eaten on their own.
According to the American Diabetes Association (ADA), GI scores are categorized into low, moderate and high, as follows:
Low GI: ≤ 55 / Low GL ≤ 10
Moderate GI: 56 -69 / Moderate GL: 11-19
High GI: ≥ 70 / High GL ≥ 20
The lower the GI score of a food item, the slower your blood sugar will rise after consuming it, which helps the body to better manage post-meal changes. By contrast, if a food has a high GI score, then it is rapidly digested and metabolized, causing considerable fluctuations in blood glucose levels.
High GI foods—which are broken down quickly by the body—can include sugary foods and white carbs among a number of other things. As an example, pure sugar has a GI score of 100, white rice has a GI score of 64 and peanuts have a low score of just 14, meaning that the latter is more helpful in regulating blood glucose levels.
There are a number of factors that can determine a food’s GI score, including the type of sugar it carries and its ripeness among a host of other factors.
Another useful scale of measurement is the glycemic load (GL), which takes into account the GI plus the grams of carbohydrates in a particular food. A glycemic load of 20 or more is high, 11 to 19 is medium and 10 or under is low.
Research reveals that a low GI diet may result in weight loss, reduce blood sugar levels and lower the risk of heart disease and type 2 diabetes. Diets higher in GI have also been correlated with an increased risk of type 2 diabetes.
Here are a few low GI fruits that are known to regulate your blood glucose.
Nine fruits with a low GI & GL score
Grapefruit’s GI score is particularly low at just 25, with its GL score of 3 also quite low, so it is especially good for you if you’re trying to keep an eye on your blood glucose levels. In order to take full advantage of grapefruit’s low GI, you need to eat it without any added sugar, even if it’s a little tart.
Before adding grapefruit to your diet, it’s best to check with your doctor how it may interact with any prescription medication that you are on.
Studies have shown that strawberries may be beneficial to blood sugar management by enhancing insulin sensitivity and improving glucose clearance from one’s blood.
Their GI score is towards the higher end of the low scores at 41, but they’re still great for blood glucose management. Their GL score is also very low, coming in at 3, highlighting their many benefits! Strawberries are also rich in vitamin C, even more so than oranges, so they’re essentially bursting with goodness!
Cherries are absolute winners when it comes to having a low GI score, at just 20, with a low GL score of 6.
As cherries are often not in season, you can also snack on canned tart cherries, which tend to have a GI of around 41. Just make sure they’re not packed with sugar, as that cancels out their low GI benefit.
Another berry that makes the list is the rich, red raspberry. A 2019 study suggested that eating two cups of raspberries alongside a high carb meal was helpful in reducing post-meal insulin and blood sugar.
They’re also packed with vitamins, minerals, fibre and antioxidants. Eat them by themselves or chuck them into a smoothie to get your day started the right way. Fibre aids digestion controls blood sugar and lowers cholesterol. While apples, oranges, grapefruits, strawberries and blackberries are high in fibre, raspberries come out on top with the highest volume of soluble fibre (8 gm per cup).
With a GI of 42, peaches are one of the best fruits when it comes to helping you regulate your blood glucose. Their GL score is also very low at just 5 points. It is worth noting that in order to benefit from the low GI of a peach, you have to eat the fruit whole; canned peaches or peach juice will not have the same effect because according to the Harvard School of Public Health, in these other forms its GI rises to 52.
Peaches are also bursting with vitamins, counting ten different ones including vitamins A and C, as well as packing in iron and potassium.
Grapes do sit at the higher end of the low GI scale, but that doesn’t mean you should discount them. Their GI score is 53, making them entirely safe for people trying to regulate their blood glucose levels. Besides, their GL score is only 5.
A study of 187,000 people found that a higher intake of particular fruits, including grapes, was associated with a lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Grapes are also full of fibre, as with many fruits that have edible skin. Furthermore, they contain vitamin B6, which supports brain function and regulates mood hormones.
Despite the fact that oranges are sweet, studies suggest that they don’t affect blood sugar levels as much as some other sweet fruits like overly ripe bananas and watermelons.
Eating whole citrus fruits such as oranges is thought to improve insulin sensitivity. Additionally, they reduce your HbA1c, which is your average blood glucose level over the last two to three months, thus also protecting you against the development of diabetes.
Apples are a popular fruit the world over, and with good reason, given that they have a GI score of just 39 and a GL score of 5.
They contain soluble fibre and plant compounds, including gallic acid, chlorogenic acid and quercetin, all of which may contribute to reduced blood glucose, in turn helping to protect against diabetes.
In fact, a preliminary study of eighteen women found that eating an apple half an hour before consuming a carbohydrate-heavy rice-based meal contributed to a significant reduction in post-meal blood glucose levels when compared to eating rice without an apple preceding it. They are also immensely beneficial for gut health.
The next fruit to make our low GI score list is plums, at 40, with a GL score of a mere 2!
However, it’s important to keep in mind that prunes (dried plums) have a higher GI score, so if you’re planning on snacking on those, then make sure to do so in moderation. This is because dried fruits have all their water removed, making their carbohydrate content higher and increasing their GI score. Their GL score is still low, at just 9.
The glycemic index (GI) tells us how quickly carbohydrate-containing foods will affect our blood glucose level when eaten on their own. Keeping that in mind, there are plenty of fruits that you can enjoy when you are trying to regulate your blood sugar. From apples to strawberries, plums to oranges, you’re sure to find a fruit that is to your taste on this list.
Just remember, if a fruit is too tart for you, don’t add extra sugar to it since that will increase its GI score, thus lessening its advantageous effects on your health. Also, if you’re opting for the dried version of a fruit, make sure to do so in moderation, as dried fruits have a higher GI score due to their higher carbohydrate content.

Charles G. Simpson provides Dr. King with the financial outline surrounding the Stars for Freedom Reception and the Show at The Spectrum in Philadelphia.
The non-commissioned officers of Fort Polk write major civil rights organizations and publications to share their story of segregation and discrimination in the town of Leesville. The authors hope that their letter will be published - exposing the injustices.
Senator Clifford P. Case, U. S. Senator from New Jersey, writes Dr. King regarding the Civil Rights Act being passed. Case encloses a copy of the bill as it passed, with an explanation of "the major changes from the House version."
This is a draft for an optional version of Dr. King's Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech. He notes the importance of viewing the world as a family and with such perception, understands race issues as an international concern. King also speaks of Sir Alfred Bernhard Nobel, the originator of the Nobel Peace Prize. He accepts the award on behalf of those who came before him and those who continue to fight for freedom.
Huntington expresses deep concern regarding the Vietnam War. Huntington believes that humor and ridicule is a weapon against the war that is being used too little. He urges Dr. King and his supporters to each send a message to the president, and also write a letter to the local paper asking peace-lovers to state a message ridiculing President Johnson. In conclusion, Huntington hopes to gain other peace organizations to join in the Ridicule For Johnson Movement.
This document contains a combination of two poems by a principle in Brooklyn, N.Y., and two articles highlighting significant upcoming events of 1963 and 1964. The first article announces the third printing of Dr. King's book "Strength to Love" as well as information regarding the release of his forthcoming work "Why We Can't Wait." The second article reports on Mrs. Medgar W. Evers' speaking tour slated to take place in the fall of 1963, just a few months after her husband, the NAACP leader, was slain.
Dr. King expresses gratitude to Mrs. Vicario and the Chemical Bank New York Trust Company for their generous contribution to the SCLC. He explains how the contribution will help in a time of need as the SCLC enters the critical phase of their ten-year ministry.
Major J. Jones writes to Dr. King, offering to host the SCLC's Annual Spring Board Meeting in Chattanooga, where he is a district superintendent of the Methodist Church. Mr. Jones mentions that having the SCLC in Chattanooga would help the city. However, Dr. King couldn't accept Mr. Jones' invitation due to prior arrangements to host the 1965 SCLC Spring Board Meeting in Baltimore, Maryland.
Dr. King announces the immediate appointment of Jesse Jackson as the Director of Special Projects and Economic Development for SCLC. The new department will focus on "stimulating the development and expansion of Negro businesses and services."
Dr. King writes Mr. Tilley, the executive director of the SCLC, after nearly being stabbed to death at a book signing in Harlem, New York. He requests that Mr. Tilley attend to several organizational and book related matters.
Mr. Armand writes Dr. King concerning the goals of The Haitian Community Center in New York City. The Center attempts to institute programming in order to alleviate the various difficulties of the Haitian community. Mr. Armand also invites Dr. King to speak at a distinguished event as an honorary guest.
This issue of the Oberlin Alumni Magazine features commencement articles and photos as well as Remaining Awake Through a Great Revolution, Dr. King’s address to the graduating class.
This children's book depicts George Washington Carver's life and educational journey. Carver is best known as an inventor, specifically finding many uses for the peanut, which is used in the production of shaving cream, shampoo, paper, and ink.
"Punch" editor Bernard Hollowood asks Dr. King to write an article focusing on the following question: "Is America capable of solving its own race problems?" The article would be part of a series of articles focusing on whether the United States can be trusted as leader of the Western World.
This program for the Tenth Annual Institute of the Montgomery Improvement Association gives a detailed history of the organization's events from 1955 to 1965. "Highlights At A Glance" include: accounts of violence and community bombings, school integration, freedom rides, The Montgomery Bus Boycott, and the establishment of the SCLC. Photographs of leadership, churches, voter registration, and marches appear throughout. This document also shows Dr. King's handwritten notes, copies of related news articles, and the individual programs for each day of the Institute.
In this letter Mrs. Givan expresses her dissatisfaction with Dr. King on how "prominent Negroes" are often photographed with "unsavory whites."
This piece vividly describes a poet's conception of an urban "Negro" scene. The poetic imagery paints a picture of a dilapidated neighborhood occupied by impoverished, helpless neighbors and drunkards who undergo tremendous emotional struggle. Dr. King's handwriting at the top of the poem indicates that he wanted this document filed.
Robert Lodge questions Dr. King about the future and past of the Civil Rights Movement during a Press Conference USA recording.

Philippine New Law: If students want to graduate, must plant 10 trees
The Philippine Congress established a new law which requires students to plant 10 trees if they want to graduate.
After the new law, students in Philippines who will graduate must plant 10 trees, and amazing result of this action would be 525 million new planted trees in one generation
It seems our youngers are the ones who must take a care about the future of the planet. well, they had to, because they are those who will experience the most tragic effects of our unconscious behavior and bad consumerism.
In addition to hundreds of initiatives, this seems to have the best effects, and it is up to younger to realize it.
You have to admit that the idea rocks and definitely if the other states look up to Philippines, this might good way to save our planet.
The law introduced by congressman Gary Alejano applies to all student from elementary school to college.
According to him, his main goal is to promote intergenerational responsibility and environmental protection. This initiative will help in the planting of 175 million trees.
This is not only good move to raise awareness about our planet. In one School in India Students all a across town were collecting plastic waste and that way they could earn some money, that way avoid child labor and get education about recycling plastic.

It is with great pleasure and tons of excitement that we present to you April 2019’s Pets of the Month – the gorgeous Zeus and Apollo. These two beautiful Husky boys are living examples of how adopting a pet from from a rescue centre can change so many lives for the better.
Zeus and Apollo were nominated by their StudentCo sitter, Courtney Wright. This is a particularly unique story, as Courtney had actually met the boys years before even becoming their sitter. This is what she said in her nomination:
“These two stood out the most for me. I met them a couple years ago at Husky Rescue when I volunteered. Apollo and Zeus were known as the ‘blind boys’ because of the state that they were in – they were blind from infection. Years later, my hair stood on end when I walked into this pet parent meet and greet only to see them living this incredible new life. It was honestly an amazing experience.”
Dad, Suhail, was so excited to hear that his boys had been chosen as our Pets of the Month and took the time to answer these intriguing questions about Zeus and Apollo.
Everyone loves a good origin story – what was it about Zeus and Apollo that made you decide to adopt them?
“The day we visited the Haven for the first time we had this picture in our heads of having a white and black husky with those sparkling blue eyes as you see in photos and movies, but when we stepped into the enclosure and met Zeus and Apollo, we knew immediately that they were who we needed for our family. Hearing about their background broke our hearts and we decided to adopt them then and there.
Courtney mentioned to us that both huskies have impaired vision – is it difficult to care for not only one, but two special needs fur babies?
“They both went for cataract surgery prior to us adopting them from Husky Rescue. Zeus has approximately 80 percent vision, whilst Apollo’s is better. Zeus occasionally runs into things, but his vision isn’t too bad anymore. We knew that adopting them would not be easy, but we absolutely love our boys. They are just like every other dog, just with a lot more energy!”
Do they have any unique quirks or habits that can’t help but make you smile?
“Every time my wife peels a potato, both of them jump up and stand at the kitchen window. Zeus also shuffles his feet at feeding time – it’s the coolest thing. Apollo is just a gentle boy who likes to go with the flow.
Would you describe Zeus and Apollo as adventurous or laid-back?
“Zeus is super adventurous. He loves running around and digging holes in the ground. Apollo, however, is very laid back and gentle. He just loves basking in the sun.”
Their perfect day would be…
“An early morning walk chasing birds. They are always so lazy after the walk that they basically just lay around for the rest of the day.”
As pet parents we’re not allowed to have favourites, but who are Zeus and Apollo’s absolute favourite human?
“Their favorite human is definitely our 9 month old son. They are like siblings. It’s the cutest thing in the world!”
Their favourite food is…
“Hmm… chicken and carrots!“
Their favourite toy is…
“They don’t like toys at all. We’ve tried numerous times with different toys and we’ve had no luck. We always giggle when we sit in the park and watch other dog owners throw a ball and their dog gets all excited and runs after it… we’ve never had that pleasure unfortunately.”
Their favourite StudentCo Pet Sitter is…

Heith DeMoss – Heflin, La. ($88,613)
9-time WNFR qualifier
6-time RNCFR qualifier
It takes Heith DeMoss a lot longer to get ready to ride a bucking horse than it does to climb aboard, spur for eight seconds and make his way back to the bucking chutes.
Heith tore his ACL ligament in his knee at the Calgary Stampede in 2015. He dealt with it for a year and a half before deciding enough was enough. Two days after the 2016 Wrangler National Finals Rodeo, he underwent surgery to repair the knee.
He returned to competition at the RAM National Circuit Finals in Kissimmee, Florida, and won $4,805 before he was hurt again. This time it was a low back sprain that didn’t keep him out of action very long.
He had a major milestone in June when he won the Reno (Nevada) Rodeo for the third consecutive year. Then a successful Fourth-of-July put him 13th in the world standings. He finished the regular season in 12th place with $88,613.
Heith can be found in the Justin Sportsmedicine trailer or training room before every rodeo performance. Fourteen years of riding bucking horses professionally has added up. He spends nearly 20 minutes before competing taping his knees and preparing for the ride.
He has listened to the athletic trainers and learned how to take care of his body. That has also given him a life outside of the rodeo arena where he is an avid hunter and loves to spend time with his family.
Heith is husband to wife, Hallie, and father to Gavin and Dixie. They will all be on hand during this year’s NFR and anxiously waiting for Heith to get out of the Sportsmedicine room and join them in the Thomas and Mack Center. Hopefully the family will get to make some trips to the South Point for a buckle presentation too.

AGARTALA, July 28: The Tripura government is keen to constitute a human rights commission but paucity of suitable retired judges has become a stumbling block in forming the rights body, Chief Minister Manik Sarkar said here on Tuesday.
“We had initiated the process to constitute the state human rights commission many years back but lack of suitable retired judges to head the body has become an obstacle to form the constitutiol body,” Sarkar said.
He said: “According to the rule, a retired high court chief justice or a retired Supreme Court judge must be the chairman of the state human rights commission. For many years we are looking for such a retired judge but failed.”
A few years back, we proposed to share the authority of the Assam human rights commission, but the Assam government did not respond positively, Sarkar said.
“In 2007, the state government had constituted the Police Accountability Commission with provisions to protect human rights of the people. Cases of human rights violations are extremely low in Tripura,” Sarkar added.
The Tripura Police Accountability Commission has been constituted under the Tripura Police Act, 2007 with the powers of a civil court to summon and enforce attendance of witnesses under the civil procedure code 1908.
The Supreme Court on Friday had said it was the statutory duty of the state governments to set up state human rights commissions.
A division bench of the Supreme Court comprising Justice T.S.Thakur and Justice R. Banumathi in their judgment said it was a matter of regret that despite the tiol Human Rights Commission (NHRC) strongly and repeatedly recommending setting up of state commissions, they have not been set up.
The court directed the Tripura, Delhi, Himachal Pradesh, Mizoram, Arunchal Pradesh, Meghalaya and galand governments to set up human rights commissions. (IANS)

Disclosure: The blog owner (that’s me!) received a product(s) or promotional item from Borax to facilitate this review. I received no other compensation for this post and was under no obligation to post a positive review. The opinions contained herein, are my own and reflect my experience with the product(s). Your own may differ.
For many years I always had a box of Borax in my laundry room. I used it in the diaper pail when presoaking cloth diapers and added it as a laundry booster to baby clothes to help clean and sweeten little garments.
20 Mule Team Borax is 100% natural mineral from the earth. Once removed from the ground it is washed, dried and boxed for consumers. Borax is the common name for sodium tetraborate: a naturally occuring substance produced by the perpetual evaporation of seasonal lakes. Absolutely nothing is added to this product. There are no phosphates, chlorine, or other additive chemicals.
Over 85% of homes have hard water – water that contains calcium and magnesium. When you add detergent to hard water some of those compunds attach to the calcium and magnesium and wash down the drain. They are not effectively cleaning your clothing. 20 Mule Team Borax naturally softens water which protects your detergent. This results in cleaner clothing.
Living in a rural area and depending on well water for our needs has been interesting. Our water is very very hard and contains lots of tanin which results in nasty yellowing on all of my light colored clothing. We tried a water softener system, but frankly, I didn’t like the way my skin and hair felt after bathing in artificially softened water.
Now, I’ve rediscovered the wonderful practice of adding 20 Mule Team Borax to my wash loads to naturally soften the water and boost my detergent’s cleaning power. Yay! No more toting my light colored clothes all the way to the laundramat in town!
Simply by adding 1/2 cup to each load, my clothes are clean, bright and smell delightfully fresh.
The fine folks at Borax would like you to try the power of Borax too and are offering THREE of my readers a chance to win a VIP coupon for a free box, like the one I was sent! Thank you so much!

Prince Philip was Queen Elizabeth’s backbone, both in their marriage and their royal and public lives. In fact, there’s a new report that says the Duke of Edinburgh, who passed away on Friday morning, dedicated his life to both duty and service and of course, was always by his wife’s side. Here’s what you need to know.
Speaking to Fox News in a new interview, royal author Anna Pasternak said that Prince Philip knew exactly where his place was in the royal family. She says that he accepted life as it came to him.
Prince Philip Was Queen Elizabeth’s Backbone: Life Dedicated To Duty And Service
Pasternak put it this way, “He probably did not want his wife to be queen so young because it affected his career. And yet he supported her. And in that process, he carved out a role for himself and became an innovator. He’s got tremendous legacies in this country.”
“He was known for empowering the young,” Pasternak continued. “He was responsible for keeping green spaces. We have what’s called the ‘village green’ here in England. In inner-city areas, parks were created because he realized the young needed fresh air and green space. He was a conservationist and way ahead of his time before it became fashionable. He was a forerunner to Prince Charles who is passionate about the environment and organic farming.”
“It’s absolutely clear that Elizabeth adored him,” Pasternak said. “That is something for the young to aspire to today – that level of loyalty, commitment, duty and love. In the U.K., even though we knew he was very old and had been unwell, we all desperately wanted him to make his 100th birthday. There will be an absolute universal outpouring of affection towards the queen. And within that is a gratitude to the Duke of Edinburgh who supported her and made her so happy.”
All senior members of the royal family are expected to attend Prince Philip’s funeral at Windsor Castle amid the COVID-19 pandemic, with a service at St. George’s Chapel.

How C-ITS technology will shape future mobility services, affecting not only our cities but our individual freedom
As we witness rapid global urbanisation, hand in hand with increasing levels of traffic emissions and pollution, it’s clear we need to take action. While many may consider it an unsolvable task, the solution is at hand: the smartphone. ‘Intelligent’ phones enable us to organise smart cities and manage our trips more efficiently, while also gaining the freedom to select the most suitable mode of transport at any time.
Throughout the 20th century, people defined their status depending on the vehicle they drove. Ironically, today, the millennial generation is defined more by their smart devices than by their vehicle ownership. This trend opens the door to a future shaped by how citizens define their freedom, in terms of mobility.
Cars will no longer be the sole choice, but an option among many (such as public bicycles, underground, bus, tram, etc.). Software and intelligent networks will enable us to quickly calculate the best way to travel between two destinations at any given time. Likewise, thanks to the increasing flexibility in the employment market, we can choose the best time to leave home and reach the office, combining teleworking with office presence to improve conciliation.
However, all these possibilities rely on a technological backbone. Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems (C-ITS) and multi-mode management will likely become the next intelligent mobility trend. These solutions will enable cities to have greater control of vehicles entering or leaving or on the use of parking spaces. Cities will use this knowledge to provide alternatives, guiding people to reconsider their routines to make life more comfortable. In this way, draconian measures applied in certain cities to face contamination peaks are based on last century’s logic, and only build more frustration among citizens, with no resolution.
Moreover, C-ITS technology will act as an important facilitator when autonomous vehicles become commonplace. The technology will allow for all vehicles, as well as detection and monitoring systems, to be inter-connected, guaranteeing optimum safety.
C-ITS systems will be multimodal by nature and communicate with passenger smartphones. They will provide specific and highly reliable information to citizens on their travel options, encouraging them to consider all alternatives, from roads–including cars, buses and taxis–to trains, trams or suburban trains. As technologies and apps continue to merge, travellers will be able to organise their individual transport in different cities using a single app.
Ultimately, the solution to the challenges mentioned above is to establish smart communication between all modes of city infrastructure, by tapping into the network via intelligent devices. We have to consider that, at the end of the day, it is up to the customers to make intelligent use of access to tools and resources to assess their transport options. The advantages of this system go far beyond improving quality of life or reducing congestion and costs. This solution will enable the freedom of decision-making based on reliable and intelligent information.

There’s little question that housing affordability is a growing problem in many cities around the country. Rents have been rising faster than incomes, especially for low- and moderate-income households.
One of the most widely touted policy responses is “inclusionary zoning,” which requires developers who build new housing to set aside at least a portion (typically 10 to 20 percent) of new units that will be sold or rented for less than the market price.
In many respects, inclusionary zoning seems like a win-win, free lunch policy: by making developers pay for new affordable housing, these new homes don’t directly cost taxpayers a dime. But developers have to make up the cost of these below-market units somewhere, and typically it will be by passing the costs on to the buyers of the market rate units in their development. At least one study* suggests that this results in higher prices. In some cases, cities offer density bonuses to developers to ease the financial burden of constructing below market units, but it’s far from clear that the bonuses cover the additional costs, plus the uncertainty and negotiation that attends these frequently discretionary approval processes adds to costs.
But the larger problem with inclusionary zoning requirements is that they may simply not be up to the scale of the problem. Although dozens of jurisdictions have enacted inclusionary zoning requirements, they simply haven’t produced many units of housing. Consider New York City’s decade-old policy. In many ways, New York ought to be a perfect place for inclusionary zoning, which tends to do best in hot real estate markets. But in one of the nation’s hottest housing markets, in its largest city, inclusionary zoning produced about 2,800 units of affordable housing its its first decade—about 280 per year, in a metropolis of over eight million people.
Most inclusionary zoning programs are much smaller, and cities have less leverage with developers because market-rate development is not nearly as profitable as it is in robust markets like New York. A recent compendium of inclusionary zoning programs showed that only six cities nationally operated inclusionary zoning programs that had produced more than 100 units per year, and just one jurisdiction—Montgomery County, Maryland, a high income suburb of Washington, DC—accounted for nearly half of all inclusionary zoning units.
The fundamental problem with inclusionary zoning is also its primary advantage: it asks for, and receives, virtually no taxpayer money. But skimming off the top of developer profits is almost by definition an inadequate source of funding for affordable housing, particularly in places like New York and San Francisco where the need is most acute. All newly built housing is generally a fraction of one percent of a city’s housing market in any given year; housing that triggers inclusionary requirements is less than that; and you then have to reduce that number by 80 to 90 percent to get to the 10 to 20 percent set-aside of affordable units. It’s not an accident that Montgomery County has built so much inclusionary housing, relatively speaking—it’s also built vastly more housing, period, than most cities, nearly doubling its population since 1970. How many inclusionary housing advocates in other parts of the country are eager for such a breakneck pace of development?
Solutions, then, are likely to require some actual tax money. One possibility: dedicate a portion of the added property tax revenue from new real estate construction to subsidizing affordable housing. Portland, Oregon has dedicated about a third of such revenues to affordable housing, and has built more than 2,300 units of affordable housing in one neighborhood near downtown—nearly as much as New York’s affordable housing ordinance has produced in the five boroughs of New York. Portland has dedicated $67 million on tax increment funds over the next decade to support affordable housing in the city’s fast changing neighborhoods. Also, unlike inclusionary zoning, using tax increment financing doesn’t have the undesirable side effect of driving up the price of market rate housing or constricting the supply of market rate units.
Ultimately, a solution that addresses the scale of the nation’s affordability problems will have to tackle the nation’s highly skewed subsidies to homeownership by higher income households. The combination of the mortgage interest deduction, property tax deduction, capital gains exemption and the non-taxation of imputed rents amounts to a federal subsidy to owner-occupied housing on the order of $250 billion per year, most of which goes to the nation’s highest income households. There’s a lot we could do: like expand funding for rental vouchers, which reach only 22 percent of those who qualify. Or tap the capital gains that accrue to homeowners (in substantial part due to the constriction of housing supply by zoning regulations. But it should be clear that feel good programs like inclusionary zoning are mostly a token response to a problem of much more substantial dimension.
* See: Schuetz, Meltzer & Bean, Silver bullet or trojan horse? The effects of inclusionary zoning on local housing markets in the United States, Urban Studies 2011;48(2):297-329. The authors note that most inclusionary zoning programs have had a modest scale relative to housing markets, and conclude: “Results from suburban Boston suggest that IZ has contributed to increased housing prices and lower rates of production during periods of regional house price appreciation. In the San Francisco area, IZ also appears to increase housing prices in times of regional price appreciation, but to decrease prices during cooler regional markets. There is no evidence of a statistically significant effect of IZ on new housing development in the Bay Area.”


A woman has gone viral after posting a video praising a man for not checking her out as she does squats in the gym – and, as usual, the internet has split opinions about it.
In the clip, TikTok user Libby Christensen (@libbychristensen) is filming herself hack squatting, and a man is seen sitting on a bench behind her in the corner of the video. He stares at the floor before laying back to continue his workout.
“I just need to shout out this man who was behind me while I was hack squatting,” Christensen wrote in the video. “I was so uncomfy that I was being stared down but very thankful that my booty was not his focus. Watched this back and felt at ease.”
“Ty for your service kind sir,” she captioned the post, which has racked up more than 4.5 million views at the time of writing, and has more than 443,000 likes and almost 10,000 comments.
Many focused on praising the man, with an emphasis that they, too, try to be as respectful as possible to other people at the gym. “Most dudes are like this,” one person said. “This is our special moment to appreciate the nice flooring.”
“I think there’s more guys doing everything they can to make sure it’s very clear they’re not staring at women in the gym,” another person commented. “When I’m in this position at the gym I have to move in fear of the woman thinking I’m a creep. The uncomfortable feeling goes both ways sometimes,” another user said.
Despite the well-meaning intention behind the vide0 – there's no shortage of footage documenting creepy blokes at the gym, after all – not everyone was on board. Some suggested Christensen should spend more time worrying about her workout than her fellow gym-goers, while others criticised her for filming the man without him knowing.
“Maybe just focus on your mind muscle connection instead of what everyone else is doing and you might make gainz,” one wrote. “What about making others feel uncomfortable because you just have to record what you’re doing there,” another added. “What if he doesn’t want to be on someone’s video?
Some commenters also criticised Christensen's outfit choice, suggesting she shouldn't wear tight clothing to workout in. So, in a follow-up video posted the next day, Christensen responded to one such comment, which said: “OR wear something not so revealing.”
“Posts a harmless TikTok about valid feelings about being a woman in the gym then waking up to see that it got into the wrong hands & there’s people spewing violence in the comments attacking me & each other,” she wrote.

Utah's Public Transportation System Has A Long Road To Recovery Ahead
Public transportation ridership in Utah has plummeted since the coronavirus pandemic began.
In April, the state’s public transit system averaged about 1.2 million riders, which is down 68% from the year before. Passenger revenue has fallen by 69%.
The Utah Transit Authority has reduced service and implemented a number of safety measures — including providing free face masks to riders and allowing them to board without touching doors or buttons. But like many others around the country, Utah’s transit system is facing questions about if and when people will feel safe riding again and what kind of financial support will be needed to keep long term plans alive.
“I think there's no way around it — [UTA is] going to be licking their wounds for a while,” said Ted Knowlton, deputy director of the Wasatch Front Regional Council.
There are major upsides for getting the system not only back to normal, but better than it was, he said. Getting people out of cars can not only reduce air pollution and traffic, but save them money on commuting, which could have ripple effects throughout the state’s economy, he said.
James Larson, a spokesman with the transit authority, said the pandemic has put the agency in a holding pattern. Fewer riders has meant they’ve been able to get some much-needed repairs done, but it’s also delaying some long term plans. Construction, for example, on a $100 million bus project in Ogden that has been in the works for several years is now being pushed back a month.
“Everyone’s just being really cautious right now,” Larson said. “Looking at data and trends and trying to figure out the best course of action that we need to take.”
Larson said the plan going forward is to keep an eye on local health orders and continue analyzing ridership data, bringing service back slowly based on how many people are using it.
The agency is also surveying customers and employees about how people are using public transportation and what kinds of safety precautions they’re taking.
“We’re trying to be budget-conscious as we move back into regular service,” he said. “The hard thing is nobody knows people’s comfort level as we move from orange to yellow.”
Utah transit is getting close to $220 million from the federal government to cover COVID-related losses, which Larson said will mostly be used to subsidize overall service. But it’s not clear yet how big a hit the agency’s budget will take because of falling sales tax revenue.
Knowlton, with the regional council, said that will be a big question going forward. And because the pandemic could affect everything from where people choose to live and work to how far people travel and how much they’re able to spend on commuting, transit officials will need multiple strategies going forward to keep the system viable.
“One of the long term lessons learned from COVID-19 is that sometimes you get these massive curve balls thrown at you,” he said. “We're seeing massive shifts right now — like a shift in people telecommuting and shopping online. All of these things suggest to us that we've got to look at a handful of different likely futures and not just the most likely scenario.”

Nuno Espirito Santo urges Wolves players to move on from Burnley frustration
Wolves boss Nuno Espirito Santo has told his players to put their disappointment behind them after they conceded a late equaliser against Burnley.
Nuno Espirito Santo has urged his Wolves players to move on from their disappointment against Burnley.
Nuno’s side were denied victory at Turf Moor by Chris Wood’s stoppage-time penalty, which put a dent in their outside chance of qualifying for the Champions League, although Nuno has called for his team to put their frustration behind them.
The 46-year-old manager said:
“We just recover and prepare for the next one.
“The first half was good, the second half was good. We were always in control very, very well in the middle of the park, pressing high, recovering the ball.
“We didn’t allow Burnley to play, they would always go direct but we controlled it well deep. The team was good.”
The Portuguese boss admitted that the result was “difficult to take” after the late twist.
“Every goal you concede is hard to take and if it is in the final moments it is even harder.
“I think we played good, we were well organised on the pitch and it was a good game. The team were always in control, we managed the game well. You try to prepare good but after that sometimes justice in the game doesn’t exist.
“But this is not the point of football. The point of football is to compete, play well, and the boys did this today.”


The coronavirus pandemic has increased the social and economic problems of thousands of families not only in Spain, but also around the world, leaving overwhelming economic impacts that are difficult to solve. This has been the case for a substitute teacher in Fontana, California (United States). José Villarruel was affected by the school closures in May 2020 and was forced to resign from his teaching position as a result.
José was sending money to his wife and children in Mexico every month, his pension was not enough and his debts were multiplying, so he took a job as a welder where the shift started at five o’clock in the morning. But an angel came to his car. Steven Nava, a young man from the city, watched as an elderly man abandoned the car that had become his home. Determined, he went over one day to find out about his situation, what he didn’t expect was to meet his former Fontana Unified School District teacher. Nava was so moved by this story that he gave him the $300 he had, posted his story on social media and set up a Go Fund Me page so people could donate to Jose’s cause.
TWITTER FRIENDS PLEASE HELP! every morning/ night I’ve always noticed this older man that would stay out in his car constantly at this parking lot near my house even when the weather was bad. He looked familiar and I’m sure alot of y’all have had him as a substitute in Fontana… pic.twitter.com/3hFpIAOMCO
— stvnna ⚡ (@thesteven7) March 6, 2021
Just six days in and they had already raised more than $27,000. Nava, along with other alumni who heard the story, decided to surprise him in person on 11 March, José’s 77th birthday.
The CNN reported and got in touch with José, who was very emotional. The former teacher declared that “from the bottom of my heart, I had to summon all my strength not to get emotional or nervous. It was unexpected, but I accept it with an open heart and I am ready for whatever comes next. I know good things will come.
In addition, Nava updated every day the news about José’s situation, where he also published in one of the comments the link where citizens could donate to facilitate the process.

Warmer weather has officially arrived in Florida, and now is a great time to focus more on your garden! Whether you plant your own vegetables to enjoy in the kitchen, or love to enhance your curb appeal with flowers, here are 3 tips for gardening in Florida’s spring.
1. Enhance the soil.
Did you know Florida has its own official state soil? It’s called Myakka, a fine sand-soil. Of course, sand is great for the beaches, but it can be hard to grow plants in it. Myakka doesn't have much organic material, making it low in nutrients and too thin to hold water well. Before planting, you can either enrich the soil with compost or other organic material, or you can use potting soil in a raised bed or planters. Window boxes are also a fun and easy way to spruce up your exterior while avoiding Myakka.
2. Prune and fertilize perennial plants.
Plants like camellias, azaleas, and bougainvilleas bloom in fall or winter in Florida, so March is a great time to cut them back to prepare for the upcoming year. Tabebuia trees also bloom in late winter or early spring, so you can shape them up and fertilize them once they stop blooming. Palms can be a beautiful addition to your garden, and spring is a great time to dig in a slow-release fertilizer around the plants.
3. Plant annuals and perennials.
March is planting time for a vegetable garden, so if you haven't already started, you're running out of time! Some ideas for vegetables to grow are beans, corn, cucumbers, eggplants, melons, peppers, potatoes, yellow squash, tomatoes, and zucchini. All of these veggies thrive in the tropical Florida climate. Around this time in March, you can also plant annual flowers like angelonia, wax begonia, cannas, dahlias, gloriosa lilies, and zinnia. If you want to add trees or bushes to your garden, now is a good time for that as well! Before you plant, research the plant to make sure it doesn’t grow too big for your home or the plants around it. When you plant, dig a hole slightly wider than the root ball of the plant. Set the plant in the hole at the same height it was growing in its pot, fill the hole with mulch or potting soil, and water it well.
Gardening can be a great way to enjoy the outdoors, get exercise, and improve your home value! If you want more tips and help with maintaining your home, download my mobile app that has HomeKeepr, a tool just for homeowners! And as always, feel free to contact me with any real estate need.

As most other small inedible objects, a swallowed magnet should eventually pass through the digestive system. Two of them, on the other hand, can interact and create problems as a mother in San Jose discovered.
From the New York Times:
Within 72 hours, Braden complained of mild pain in the left abdomen. He had no other symptoms and was not in any apparent distress, but his parents took him to the emergency room anyway. An X-ray showed what Dr. Sanjeev Dutta, in a case study published on Feb. 4 in The Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine, calls “an obvious opacity in the right lower quadrant area of the cecum,” a foreign object near the mouth of the large intestine.
An X-ray five hours later showed that the object was not moving properly. Dr. Dutta’s laparoscopy found the magnets stuck together, pinching bowel tissue.
They were removed when they stuck to the ends of the laparoscopic instrument.

On January 18, 2006, the Council was informed by the Under Secretary of Commerce for Oceans and Atmosphere, that NOAA is developing alternatives in the Draft Environmental Impact Statement for the proposed NWHI National Marine Sanctuary that would enable the Council to continue to recommend management measures to limit bottomfish and pelagic fisheries through regulations under the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act), consistent with the goals and objectives of the proposed sanctuary. While the preferred alternative has not been selected, the range of alternatives under consideration includes a regulatory regime allowing commercial bottomfishing and non-longline pelagic fishing to continue either: (1) indefinitely, (2) until 2025, or (3) for 5 years with a ban on fishing thereafter.
The Council was also informed that if, by May 1, 2006, it transmits for Secretarial review, an amendment to the Bottomfish and Pelagics Fishery Management Plans (FMPs) and corresponding proposed regulations implementing limits to bottomfish and pelagic fishing, NOAA may review those Magnuson-Stevens Act regulations as potential mechanisms to implement NOAA's preferred alternative for the proposed sanctuary, rather than implementing the alternative via the National Marine Sanctuaries Act.
At its 131st Council meeting held March 13-16, 2006, the Council took initial action and recommended that limited fishing be allowed in federal waters of the proposed NWHI National Marine Sanctuary and managed under the Magnuson-Stevens Act (except for recreational fishing at Midway Atoll), consistent with all codified federal regulations and subject to the following restrictions:
a. A closure be established indefinitely for all harvests of crustacean, precious coral and coral reef ecosystem species;
b. All commercial and recreational fishing be subject to Magnuson-Stevens Act permit and logbook reporting requirements
c. Recreational fishing permits be issued on a case-by case basis, and that the Council will evaluate the need for further management;
d. Limited-entry NWHI bottomfish permits be capped at 14, with 7 permits for the Ho'omalu Zone and 7 permits for the Mau Zone (the two Community Development Program permits for indigenous use to be included in the latter and issued as previously recommended by the Council);
e. The annual bottomfish catch be limited to 381,500 lbs (85% of Maximum Sustainable Yield);
f. Non-longline commercial pelagic fishing permits be capped at three (3);
g. The annual commercial pelagic catch by the non-longline pelagic fishery and the limited-entry bottomfish fishery be limited to 180,000 lbs.;
h. No-take Marine Protected Areas be established around French Frigate Shoals and West of 174 W longitude;
i. The use-or-lose requirements for renewal of commercial bottomfish permits be removed;
j. Relinquished or revoked commercial bottomfish permits be reissued by NMFS in accordance with the existing procedures for Ho'omalu Zone permits and as described in the Council's previous recommendation for Mau Zone permits; and
k. Federally permitted research regarding fishery and ecosystem conservation and management would be allowed in Federal waters.
The Council will consider final action on these proposed limits to fishing in the NWHI at this 132nd meeting.Start Printed Page 17456

I would like to ask you a favor. I remember three scenes from three westerns (probably also action or adventure films) from my childhood. Unfortunately, I don’t remember the nationality, the year of production, the director or the actors of all three films. I would like to watch the movies again, but I need to identify them first. Can you please help me identify the movies?
1.) In the first film, there is a fight between a gunman and some warrior with a sword or a spear (probably an Asian warrior or an Indian). In the duel, the fighter ends up stabbing the gunslinger.
2.) in the second movie the mexicans are chasing a man on a plain or in a jungle and when they catch up with him, they cut off his ear and probably a piece of his face with a machete. This is not the movie Django (1966) by Sergio Corbucci.
3.) The third film is probably a modern western set in the present day. It features a female protagonist wearing jeans, a t-shirt (or sweat-shirt), a hat and a cocking rifle (probably a shotgun or bullet firearm).
I’ve been looking for these three movies for years yet, but without success. It can also be Mexican or Turkish westerns, I don’t know. I have only fragmentary memories from my childhood.
Thank you very much for your help,

Pilfo's Parlay for Week 2
September 17h 2009 - Pilfo
Tampa ran into a buzz saw of an offense last week vs. the
Cowboys but Tampa remained competitive throughout most of the game. Cadillac
Williams is back and the running game looks very good with Derrick Ward getting
some carries to relieve Williams. Big Byron had a reasonable game also. While I
donít think Tampa is a top 10 team I think they will be able to stick with most
teams for most of the game on most weeks. The defense was solid also.
Buffalo had their Super Bowl in week one and as usual they disappointed their
fans in the late stages. They outplayed New England for most of the game but
Buffalo is not a team that can pull away from any reasonable team. I expect them
to have a letdown this week. Even without the letdown the spread is way too big
to justify. Buffalo is a bottom 10 team.
Prediction: Tampa 20 Buffalo 17.
The Jets played well enough last week to be playoff contenders. Their defense
was amazing holding the Texans offense to 0 points on the road. Sanchez showed
he can play in the NFL at NFL speeds. The jets running game was spot on with
Thomas Jones impressing once again and Leon Washington taking some carries to
relieve Jones. Rex Ryan is on a mission this year to prove he can be a head
coach. The big question mark was Sanchez. One week does not make a man but it
sure doesnít hurt.
New England has some weak spots in their lines and Buffalo exploited them. While
New England is still a top 10 team I believe they have lost a step as a team. I
believe New England will improve as the season goes on so now is the time to
take advantage of the respect they still get in the point spreads.
Prediction: Jets 24 Pats 17.
San Francisco won last week vs. the Super Bowl runner-ups but according to
insiders Mike Singletary expected no less. The Ninerís offensive line looked a
bit iffy but Singletary is already making adjustments to improve this week. The
passing game was above average; the running game did what it had to do although
the stats were not impressive. The defense was amazing though. Last year the
Ninerís had the 13th overall defense and Singletary has improved on this during
the off-season. Defense wins championships.
Seattle dismantled the lowly Rams last week, as they should have. The running
game looked good the passing game looked good and the defense looked good. So
why pick the Ninerís? Seattle played a high school team in the Rams last week.
Now the Hawks play against an NFL team this week. This game, as early as it is
in the season, will give the winner the advantage to the division championship
this year. I believe the Ninerís defense will get to Hasselbeck and cause havoc
to the entire Seahawk offense.
Prediction: SF 24 Seahawks 10.
3 Team Parlay: TB +4.5 / Jets +3.5 / S.F. Ė1.5

John Jay is best known for his roles as a Founding Father, the first Chief Justice of the United States and a co-author of the Federalist Papers. But not many know that some historians consider him to be the first chief of American counterintelligence.
During his time as a delegate at the First and Second Continental Congresses, Jay actually argued for reconciling with the British Crown. Once the Declaration of Independence was signed, however, he became a fervent separatist and fiercely supported independence.
Upon independence, the Continental Congress created the Committee for Detecting and Defeating Conspiracies. Jay was an active member and informal leader of the committee, conducting hundreds of investigations, arrests and trials involving influential businessmen and political figures loyal to the British Crown.
The committee was made up of networks established in New York for the purpose of collecting intelligence, detaining British spies and couriers, and investigating Tory sympathizers. Jay himself organized clandestine operatives and ran dangerous counterintelligence missions. Over the course of its existence, the committee heard more than 500 cases involving disloyalty and subversion.
Because of his central role in the committee’s activities, Jay is considered the father of American counterintelligence.
Editor’s Note: This article is the seventh of a series highlighting the origins of American military intelligence and how it led to the birth of DIA. The American military intelligence system during the Revolutionary War was an active and effective instrument that helped counterbalance British numerical and operational superiority by informing American generals about their movements while it also deceived the British into making strategic errors. From the Revolutionary War to the early years of the Cold War interest in and resources devoted to military intelligence surged during wartime and diminished or disappeared during peacetime. This lack of a sustained commitment to military intelligence contributed to several intelligence failures. These issues were not resolved until the establishment of DIA in 1961, which would serve as the centralizing hub of all military and defense intelligence.
