I could hear the rain blinking on the roof when I first got up this morning. The Mönch and Jungfrau were hidden in clouds when I looked out the window but I could see snow at Schynige Platte and all the way down the ridge of the mountains.
When we checked the weather apps, it seemed like it was raining everywhere in Switzerland today. So, we decided it was a wonderful day to hop on the train and go to Gruyères and have raclette cheese.
Going to Gruyères, we changed trains twice. We took the train from Interlaken West to Bern. From Bern to Palézieux. Palézieux to Gruyères.
At the foot of the Pre-Alps, you will be enchanted by the charm and picturesque architecture of the medieval village of Gruyères.
We stopped by La Maison du Gruyère demonstration cheese dairy. Twice a day, the farmers in the area deliver milk. As visitors watch, the master cheese maker each day produces up to 48 wheels of Gruyère AOP. We missed the demonstration but we have seen it many times before.
The dairy is equipped with 4 X 4800 liter vats and a cellar where 7000 wheels can ripen.
Depending on the season, cheese is made 2 to 4 times a day.
The lighter color wheels are the younger wheels. The older the cheese, the darker the rind color.
The village of Gruyères has given its name to the area and to its delicious cheese. The little village, unaffected by the passage of time, is built in a superb setting. Gruyères, for us, is the most beautiful village in western Switzerland.
A stroll through Gruyères is a stroll through eight centuries of architecture, history and culture.
It was raining quite hard so we only went to the restaurant and we ducked into a few shops.
Our favorite restaurant is the Hotel de Ville Gruyères. Recommended this restaurant to some people from Singapore, whom really enjoyed the raclette, fondue and the meat platter.
We had the all you can eat raclette. It was served with gherkins, pickled onions, bread and potatoes. With cheese you need wine; so we had some fondant from the area.
We were celebrating Michael's birthday, even though it was two weeks ago. For dessert, he had the fresh raspberries, meringue and Gruyères double cream.
Yes, it is so thick that your spoon can stand up straight. We even learned how to make double cream. I only had the raspberries and double cream. Yummy!!!
On the way back from Gruyères, we decided to go through the mountains. Went from Gruyères to Montbovon. They are building a new station there. From Montbovon to Zweisimmen. From Zweisimmen straight to Interlaken West.
We took the Golden Pass train from Montbovon to Zweisimmen.
One of the stops was the upscale resort of Gstaad. Its soaring mountains and prestigious international boarding schools have long made it a holiday destination for royalty and celebrities. Cable cars connect surrounding ski areas such as Wispile and Rinderberg, with hundreds of kilometers of all-level pistes and cross-country trails. Glacier 3000 offers nearly year-round skiing.
The main street as seen from the train.
Chalets dot the mountainsides.
Beautiful green rolling hills. Cows have come down to the lower pastures.
Snow was coming down at the higher elevations.
Even though it was a rainy day, we had fun eating raclette cheese, drinking white fondant and talking. Fondue and raclette are "conversation foods".

Report highlights higher-risk option is preferred
Private debt investors are opting to take a higher-risk strategy with distressed debt seeing increased activity.
In the year from Q1 2017 to Q1 2018, more than half of private debt investors chose distressed debt vehicles, while special situations were also in favour.
A report from industry analysts Preqin reveals that around half of private debt investors believe equity markets are reaching their peak, and an increasing share believe a correction is imminent.
“We are seeing an increasing number of investors turn to private debt, driven in part by the great success the asset class has seen in recent years. While the total number of active investors has grown by over 100 in just the past quarter, the universe remains dominated by a small group of the most influential institutions: the 10 largest investors alone account for close to 30% of aggregate capital flowing into the asset class,” said Preqin’s head of private debt products Tom Carr.
52% of these investors chose distressed debt in Q1 2018, up from 46% a year earlier. Meanwhile, mezzanine vehicles were sought by 46% in Q1 2018, down from 51% a year earlier.
45% of hedge fund investors say equity markets may have peaked.
“As the Preqin H1 2018 Investor Outlook noted, investors across different asset classes increasingly feel that public markets are at or close to a peak, and may be due for a correction,” added Carr. “In this context, the appeal of higher-risk strategies like distressed debt and special situations is growing: a potential market correction would provide increased opportunities for these fund types to capitalise on. This may be why we have seen distressed debt overtake direct lending as the most sought-after strategy, while appetite for special situations funds has grown further than for any other fund type.”

Broad-spectrum histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDAC inhibitors or HDIs) are FDA approved drugs and important elements of modern targeted cancer chemotherapy. Adverse side effects are associated with these pan-HDIs, because they inhibit multiple HDACs with many different cellular functions. Selective inhibitors targeting specific HDACs are being developed to minimize the mechanism-based toxicity. Genetic analysis to define the functions of individual HDACs in basic cellular mechanisms is therefore essential to fully understand the mode-of-action of selective inhibitors prior to using them in cancer therapy. We showed HDIs kill cancer cells through a novel transcription-independent mechanism, which involves triggering DNA damage selectively in cycling cells. This provides a therapeutic window, and explains HDI action in selectively killing rapidly cycling cancer cells and not normal non-cancerous cells. Using novel selective inhibitors, we established a direct role for Hdac1 and Hdac2 (Hdacs1,2) in DNA replication and replication stress induced repair. Hdacs1,2, the key targets of FDA approved HDIs, control replication fork progression and genome stability in S-phase. Hdacs1,2 target histone acetylation to regulate nascent chromatin structure and remodeling during replication. Collectively, our studies provide a new paradigm for how we view HDAC and HDI actions in normal and cancer cells, and provide the basis for this proposal.
In Aim 1, we will test the hypothesis that Hdacs1,2 via histone deacetylation control chromatin packaging and nucleosome structure to allow replication fork progression and maintain genome integrity. Roles for Hdacs1,2 in regulating the activities of a non-histone protein with important functions in DNA replication and repair via its deacetylation will also be explored. Understanding how HDACs contribute to efficient DNA replication and repair will provide a rational basis for the design and pre- clinical evaluation of selective HDIs that minimize unwanted toxicity while retaining clinical effectiveness. Acute lymphoblastic leukemia of early Pre-B-cell origin (Pre-B-ALL) is the most common pediatric cancer and accounts for 20% of acute leukemia in adults. Pre-B-ALL with the t(9;22) translocation (the Philadelphia (Ph) chromosome and coding for BCR-ABL) has the poorest clinical outcome and patients are at high risk of relapse with conventional therapies. BCR-ABL, the oncogenic fusion protein, enhances DNA repair to protect leukemic cells from apoptosis. In preliminary studies, selective inhibition of Hdacs1,2 caused death in Ph+Pre- B-ALL cells. Since Hdacs1,2 are required for replication and repair, we will test the hypothesis that selective inhibition of Hdacs1,2 overrides the BCR-ABL-driven efficient repair to compromise genome stability and cause death in Ph+Pre-B-ALL cells (Aim 2). Using mouse models, we will determine the functions for Hdacs1,2 in maintaining genome stability in early B-cell development and evaluate whether selective Hdacs1,2 inhibition is a viable therapeutic strategy for the treatment of early B-cell derived Pre-B-ALL. These studies will significantly advance cancer epigenetics and therapeutic fields, and provide a treatment option for a hard to treat cancer.
Inhibition of histone deacetylases 1 and 2 (Hdacs1,2) impairs DNA replication and DNA repair. The goals of this proposal are to understand the underlying molecular mechanisms by which Hdacs1,2 selective inhibitors cause replication stress and DNA damage to trigger death of cancer cells. We will use the knowledge gained from studying these basic mechanisms to then test the therapeutic benefits of targeted Hdacs1,2 inhibition for the treatment of Precursor B-cell-derived acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

Meadows resigns from Congress, heads to White House
Rep. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.) resigned from Congress Monday evening ahead of starting at the White House as President Trump‘s next chief of staff, his office announced in a letter.
Meadows is expected to begin his new role as Trump’s fourth chief of staff on Tuesday.
“I write today to inform you that I will resign from the House of Representatives, effective 5:00 p.m. Monday, March 30,” he wrote in a letter to Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.). “Serving the people of North Carolina’s eleventh congressional district for these last seven years has been the honor of my life. I will forever be grateful for the opportunity.”
Mark Meadows resigned from Congress today effective 5:00pm. Below is the letter notifying Speaker Pelosi. First day as White House Chief of Staff tomorrow. pic.twitter.com/1IUCO48AWC
— Ben Williamson (@_WilliamsonBen) March 30, 2020
Meadows will replace his former colleague and Freedom Caucus member, Mick Mulvaney, who served in the role for a little more than a year. Trump named Meadows as his next gatekeeper in a tweet earlier this month, in which he also announced that he would appoint Mulvaney as U.S. special envoy for Northern Ireland.
The staff shakeup also comes after the White House faced a monthlong period of scrambling to respond to the coronavirus pandemic, which has reached more than 155,00 cases in the U.S. and 2,500 deaths as of Monday evening, according to a New York Times database.
Trump has come under scrutiny for initially downplaying the outbreak at a time when the administration could have been preparing for the pandemic by seeking key equipment and supplies.
All eyes will be on Meadows as he steps into this new role, though many of his now former House colleagues said Meadows will be effective at the White House, pointing to his close relationship with Trump that has grown over the years.

The Technical Working Group on Tobacco Control and Prevention Tuesday sensitised the senior management team of the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare on the proposed 3% tax allocation for tobacco control activities in the country.
The meeting, which was held at the Ministry's conference room, brought together senior staff of the Health Ministry and members of the Technical Working Group.
Speaking at the meeting, Sambujang Conteh, director of Raid The Gambia, an NGO working in the area of tobacco control, explained that the objective of the development campaign is to discuss proposed tax allocation to the Non-Communicable Unit of the Ministry. He said that the Technical Working Group is lobbying for an increase in tobacco tax so that 3% would be allocated to the Ministry to run tobacco activities in the country. He added that intensive campaign and resource mobilisation for the lobbying of the proposed increment on tobacco tax for the Ministry would be an ongoing process.
Conteh also informed the gathering that officials of the Ministry of Finance would be engaged in this process in order to get their support for the proposed allocation the technical working group is lobbying for. He explained that the senior management team of the Ministry of Health has been sensitised on the issue, for them to have firsthand information about the Technical Working Group's proposal on the issue.
He said after the launching of the development campaign, series of meetings were held with stakeholders in the area of tobacco control in The Gambia, including the multi-sectorial working group on tobacco, which includes key government ministries and NGOs working in the area of tobacco control and prevention. He stressed that the Directorate of Health Promotion Education cannot deal with the issue of tobacco all by itself, adding that they need the support of the Multi-Sectorial Working Group and the Technical Working group on Tobacco Prevention and Control. He said that is why they started engaging key stakeholders in the process and came up with recommendations on how to achieve the 3% of tax allocation for the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare.
Conteh further stated that they will fully involve the Ministry of Finance and the National Assembly, as well as the Senior Management team of the Ministry of Health, because they are critical in this process. He noted that the UN agencies and state parties have committed to consider the prevention and education of tobacco usage as a development priority, while informing that The Gambia is a signatory to WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC). He disclosed that Article 26 of the FCTC stated that all state parties should recognise the importance that financial resources play in achieving the objectives of the Convention.
The permanent secretary at the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare, Matilda Boye, said the Ministry will work closely with the Technical Working Group on Tobacco Control and Prevention and the Multi-Sectorial Working Group on tobacco towards the proposed 3%, and that the Ministry of Finance will be fully engaged. She urged the taskforce to come up with a comprehensive justification on the 3% allocation and also to put in place key strategies towards the effective implementation of tobacco control activities.
PS Boye called on the taskforce members to counsel people to stop smoking; he also advised them to closely work with the communities in order to make an impact in the no-smoking campaign, and to use IEC materials and photos that show dangers of smoking. She further advised them to also use TV, radio, newspapers and other communication outlets to effectively sensitise people.

Broome police: Target Harden your business and don't become a victim of property crime this Summer
Written on the 16 November 2016 by Jael Napper
December 2015 to January 2016, 41 Commercial Premises were impacted by property crime in Broome. 17 burglary offences and 24 stealing offences.
In a meeting with Superintendent of Kimberley District Office of Police at the airport just prior to my departing for Perth, we discussed the issues of seasonal property crime over the holiday season and what could be done to address it.
"I'm trying really hard to address the route of young offenders who under the current system are being sent to Perth for detention effectively sending them to crime school," He says.
These kids return to Broome having socialised with some of the best in their 'trade' learning more sophisticated ways to conduct crime and cover their tracks.
The Good Cartel was recently shocked at the level of sophistication in a recent break and enter of their café, with the young offenders removing their CCTV cameras before taking $8,000 worth of equipment.
Jack Kain, owner of The Good Cartel said it wasn't just the equipment that they need to replace, but a whole day's trading which adds further thousands to their bottom line loss. "We've got to look at a streamlined state initiative that positive rehabilitates these kids," He says.
At Parliament House Shadow Minister of Corrective Services Paul Papalia raised the correlation of offenders with drug usage. "WA has double the national average of ice usage and a lot more could be done such as increased funding for rehab beds which is currently nowhere near enough."
In a study he authored in 2013 it showed that 70% of people in the prison system had used meth amphetamines within last 12 months.
"We need to reduce drug use which leads to reduction in offending, and damage across system - the corrective services budget is $1billion recurrent."
While efforts are being made to address the big issue of drugs and petty crime in the state, Broome businesses are called on to look after their own back yard through a few measures which should reduce the likelihood of their becoming a target.

A Colombian woman has spent the last 4,000 days of her 39-year existence in excruciating pain because of a surgical needle forgotten in her belly after an operation.
María Aderlinda Forero’s decade-long nightmare began in 2012, soon after the birth of her fourth child. The housewife, who lives in the village of San Isidro, in the rural area of El Retorno, decided to undergo tubal ligation surgery to close her fallopian tubes as a form of birth control. The operation was performed in the town of San Jose del Guaviare and seemingly went without a hitch. Maria left the hospital a few days later and return home to take care of her children. However, a few days later, she started experiencing severe pain in her abdomen, but every time she went to the doctor, they would just prescribe her paracetamol for the pain.
I don’t know about you, but the thought alone is…..woaaah!

Not only does Kateri Lanthier’s first book of poetry get top shelf at the Great Escape Bookstore, last week a proud strip of masking tape on the front cover read, “Prize winning local poet!”
Lanthier, who lives a short walk away from the Kingston Road bookshop, won the Walrus Poetry Prize in December. Reading “blind,” three poet-judges awarded Lanthier the magazine’s $2,500 prize for her poem, The Coin Under the Leftmost Sliding Cup.
Based on a Persian form called a ghazal, it is a love poem that opens with lines Lanthier says were inspired by the small tremor that shook Toronto last spring:
Did you feel the Earth move? That was our Tectonic Dance Party.
The world is a crowded club with all the exits blocked.
As metaphors go, a small earthquake is a pretty good way to describe Lanthier’s recent life as a poet, which is shaking up after a long quiet spell.
Her first book, Reporting From Night, is only two years old, but there is a 20-year gap between some of the poems inside.
“I call it the poetry coma,” says Lanthier, laughing.
The first rumblings of Lanthier’s poetic career came very early.
She was reading at two, and won her first poetry prize as a Grade 6 student in Sudbury, where her father, formerly a high school English teacher, worked for the Ministry of Education.
Sudbury was great place to be a kid, she said, and a kid poet.
“I just wandered around like the Canadian version of a Lake poet,” she said. She remembers skiing straight out her back door in winter, and summers marked by “the furtive ink of blueberry stains.”
Asked about her first prize-winner, Lanthier laughed and said it actually holds up, but it’s an awfully world-weary poem for a 10 year-old.
“My ideas splash on the page like the drops on a hopeless dry plain,” she recited.
“Oh, rainy day blues, clouds in my head, I feel like my work, like the world is recycled.”
Later, in Kingston, an enthusiastic teacher sent some of Lanthier’s poems to Quarry, a literary magazine.
Not only were they published, but Lanthier was invited by the poet Bronwen Wallace to do readings at a local writers’ group.
“I remember when they introduced me at a reading once, they said, ‘Not only is she under the drinking age, she’s under the driving age!”
Lanthier went on to do a Master’s degree in English literature, as her father did, and work in publishing. She had poems in several journals, and even worked on the other side, picking gems from the submissions “slush pile” at Descant.
But after she married and settled into a home in the Beach in 2003, Lanthier gradually stopped writing poetry. Mostly, she had less time alone, she said, and was busy writing freelance pieces for art and design magazines.
Lanthier was also raising her three children, Nicholas, Julia, and William.
“People might think that would interrupt it, but in fact I’d stopped for a while,” she said. “I would go so far to say that having children brought me back to writing poetry.”
Lanthier always carries a notebook. After Nicholas was born, she started writing poetry again while perched on the edge of sandboxes and park benches, watching him and then her other children play.
Once, when Julia was four, they were crossing Queen Street when she asked her mother, “How do the new days and days become the old times?”
That question made its way into Reporting from Night, which is peppered with more quotes from Lanthier’s little philosophers. She said she owes the title to her children, too, since especially when they were younger she did most of her writing and editing at night.
Today, they are getting used to their mother going out for poetry readings, and Lanthier said she is happy to let them keep their best lines for themselves.
And besides the Walrus prize, Lanthier has been busy with requests for poems, though she is quick to say that she still submits things to the slush pile.
She and Dan Chelotti, a young American poet, will have a long-form co-interview published soon in the emerging poets series of Boxcar Poetry Review. Between emailed poem exchanges, even Facebook and Twitter posts, Lanthier is connecting with many of the contemporary poets, Canadian and American, that she had no time to read in her “coma” years.
Lanthier said a second book of poems is well underway, and in fact threatening to swamp her other project – a three-part novel set in the Beach of the 19th century, 20th century and the present day.
“My joke-y, elevator pitch line about it is, ‘Three women, three centuries, one Great Lake,” she said.
That great lake has already inspired several of Lanthier’s poems, including “Sun, stroke,” the first part of her poem, Beached:
1. Sun, stroke
What we prized on Lake Ontario shores:
dinosaur jaw, shark teeth, quartz orbs
and goblin ore. Cobalt slivers
of Blue Willow, the crockery smashed
by scullery maids
and washed, washed,
washed to the bone.
Rocks balanced en pointe
by beach-stone technicians.
Couples in jean shorts danced to recorded salsa.
Our stroller did the boardwalk wobble.
Dazed on the sand,
daylight stargazers felt the slow burn.
Rochester obliged as the near horizon.
Waves sent a foaming bottle-message.
Clouds chest-pumped mountain impressions.
The beach walked home in our sandals.

Councillors passed a bylaw Monday prohibiting businesses from distributing single-use plastic bags to its customers.
Mayor Greg Dionne said this is a first step to reduce what is being produced and what is being sent to landfills.
“We are joining other cities in Canada in our move to ban plastic checkout bags,” Dionne said in a statement.
“I know many people have found a second use for some of these plastic bags, but the truth is that many are ending up in our landfill and littered throughout our community.”
Enforcement and fines would not be pursued by the city until Aug. 1.
The city said the enforcement delay is to allow customers to change their shopping behaviour and allow businesses to reduce their current stock of plastic check-out bags.
Fines for a first offence by businesses start at $500. A second offence could result in a fine of at least $1,000, and fines for third or subsequent offences range from $1,000 to $10,000.
Individual fines range from at least $100 for a first offence, at least $200 for a second offence, and between $200 and $500 for a third or subsequent offence.
Enforcement of the bylaw will be complaint-driven, the city said in its report.
There are exceptions to the bylaw. It does not include single-use bags for fruits, vegetables, bakery products, fresh or frozen meat, bulk food and hardware items.
Other exclusions include garbage and trash bags, and wrapped flowers and potted plants.
Officials said the goal of the ban is “to minimize the volume of plastic waste in our landfill, recycling collection systems and littered throughout our community.”
“This will save both money and the environment.”
The city estimates at least 3-million plastic bags are handed out each year, with many ending up in the landfill or scattered throughout the community.
Officials said a new cell at Prince Albert’s landfill could cost up to $3-million.
Every business in the city impacted by the bylaw will receive a letter advising them of the bylaw and how it will affect them.
The city’s sanitation manager has already visited several businesses, including Safeway, Save on Foods and Sobeys.
Sobeys is eliminating single-use plastic bags from all its stores across Canada at the end of January.
A similar ban in Victoria was quashed after a B.C. court found the city didn’t have provincial approval.
Dionne said he is aware of the case and isn’t worried about a challenge to his city’s bylaw.
“If you’ve got a better solution, a better idea, some way we can reuse these bags or use them for another purpose, bring it forward,” Dionne said.
“But today, just to sit and complain that it’s an inconvenience, well, sorry.”
A bylaw enacted by Victoria in January 2018 banned merchants from giving out plastic bags, requiring them to instead make paper or reusable bags available to customers.
The Canadian Plastic Bag Association challenged the ban and B.C.’s top court ruled in July that Victoria had exceeded its legal authority by implementing the ban without provincial approval, which is required under the province’s Community Charter.
The Supreme Court of Canada dismissed an appeal by the city on Jan. 23.
The association says it doesn’t plan on challenging similar bans across the country but hopes to educate people about how bags can be recycled or reused.

Never gonna give u up for lent
Hello devoted followers!!! It’s Ash Wednesday I’m pretty sure(??) though I am not Catholic (Kelly’s poem from last week seemed to be!). All I know is that Carnaval is over, and thus according to Brazilians the year has finally started. Despite the season, this past week has been more banal than bacchanal, and I have been feeling the weight of wasting precious time. Behind the scenes Kelly has been helping me SO much with some non-poetry related endeavors, and we have both been working on some new and exciting poetry related ones! All this has made me think how I have always written responses TO Kelly but never FOR Kelly. So, in honor of Kelly, the most patient of friends, most delusional of associates, and best poetry pen pal I could have ever wished for, here’s a response to her poem, FOR her.
fire up the folie à deux delusion is in confession is in prayer is in sacrifice is out calling in sick in scheming in scamming in cashing out eating out burning out with swapping out fried synapses igniting each other blessing algorithms should just be hot poets instead never gonna give u up for lent.
How meta is this post? Omg, imagine if someone just found PTK for the first time… they are gonna have to go back and learn all the lore! Anyway, you don’t have to go back much further to know WE ARE STILL OPEN FOR SUBMISSIONS FOR 1 MORE WEEK!!!! Hurry!! Your poetry assignment is to GO SUBMIT! Oh, and to tell Kelly how amazing she is in the comments!!! <3

Television coverage of football has reached saturation point and has left the game in "intensive care," Arsenal vice-chairman David Dein yesterday claimed.
Dein, an FA board member and one of the most influential figures in football, has warned that too much television exposure could damage the Premier League.
"We have reached saturation point and we are in intensive care," Dein said at the Soccerex conference in Dubai.
"Perhaps we are getting to the stage where less is more. We must monitor the quality of the product and ensure attendances do not decline, and we must balance that with the quantity of exposure on TV too."
Dein also revealed that Arsenal may consider floating on the Stock Exchange once they have moved into the new 60,000 seater stadium at Ashburton Grove in 18 months.
He said: "When the new stadium opens we will go through a thorough financial review. Listing would be one option."

The impact of the cost of living crisis on rural communities in Scotland is to be considered by MPs.
Westminster’s Scottish Affairs Committee is launching an inquiry on Friday into whether the financial support given by the UK Government is sufficient to meet the needs of households.
It comes as energy bills rise and inflation continues to climb, putting pressure on household budgets.
Concerns have been raised over the impact of the crisis on rural communities, who are expected to pay higher transport and weekly food costs.
Almost two-thirds of households in rural areas are also not connected to the gas grid.
It means families and businesses are instead turning to alternative fuels, such as liquified natural gas, which is not controlled in the same way as mains gas or electricity.
Pete Wishart, chairman of the committee, explained that the inquiry will aim to explore whether the UK Government support meets the “specific and unique” needs of rural communities.
“The perfect storm of the cost of living is hitting Scotland with ever-spiralling heating bills, transport costs and decline of public services,” he said.
“Both the UK and Scottish governments have stepped in and announced initiatives and funding to help ease the burden.
“Our intention for this inquiry is to explore whether the UK Government’s support meets the specific and unique needs of our rural communities.
“From larger homes leaking heat, to being off-grid with the costs of heating fuel not being covered by the Energy Price Guarantee, we need to make sure that rural communities are not left behind in cost of living support.
“We will be carefully examining these points and our committee encourages anyone with views, especially those living in rural areas in Scotland, to submit a written response to inform our inquiry.”

Bulgaria’s Health Minister Revokes License of Private Hospital
Bulgaria’s Health Minister Petar Moskov has revoked the license of a private hospital, Surgery Hospital „Papurov” in Targovishte.
Moskov, as cited by Sega daily, made clear that the license had been revoked because the hospital resorted to fraud schemes to drain the National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF).
He also accused the hospital of registering fictitious patients and illnesses.
Moskov noted that this was the first time that a health care institution had its license revoked in Bulgaria.
He announced that an investigation in 2007, which had lasted 9 months, had uncovered that the healthcare facility had drained BGN 200 000 from the NHIF budget over the same period.
Moskov told journalists that the violations carried out by the hospital had been conclusively confirmed with a decision of the Supreme Court of Cassation (VKS) from July 27, 2015.
Bulgaria’s Health Minister said that the executives of the hospital had been issued a 3-year suspended sentence by VKS, the court of final appeal.
He explained that the probe at the hospital had been launched in 2007 on tip-offs of patients and the NHIF.
Moskov assured that any hospital which violated patients’ rights or drained money from the NHIF would have its license revoked or have its contract with the NHIF terminated.

- » New Outbreak of Bird Flu in Dobrich

Will the minister also revoke licenses to all places who have public access and fail to provide adequate ramps at sensible levels for wheel chair users ,some ramps presently around Bulgaria where never put in place for wheel chair use but the owners of building and swimming pools etc believe the ramps they have will do when they are totally inadequate by the steep slope and the width to allow safe use .
An accident could be a very costly affair in an EU court.

CRISIS club Portsmouth clambered off the bottom of the Championship with their second win in two home games last night.
Chris Maguire and Joel Ward both scored in the first half to down play-off chasing Hull 2-0.
Michael Appleton’s side cashed in on their first-half dominance with two goals in four minutes.
The opener was Maguire’s second strike since moving to Fratton Park on loan from Derby and the 23-year-old forward was a thorn in Hull’s side all evening.
The Tigers remain two points outside the play-off places but boss Nick Barmby will be worried that a third consecutive defeat represents an untimely slump at a crucial stage of the season.
Portsmouth substitute Kelvin Etuhu almost added gloss to the scoreline when Maguire released him on the counter-attack, only for Hobbs to get back well and produce a last-ditch block.
Pompey are three points from safety and Doncaster replace them at the foot of the table after they could only draw 1-1 at Crystal Palace.
Donny’s winless run was extended to six games. Wales international Jermaine Easter put Palace ahead on 57 before Chris Brown equalised late on.
Two goals in six second-half minutes snapped West Ham’s frustrating run of five straight npower Championship draws and moved Sam Allardyce’s men within a point of second-placed Reading.
The Hammers’ frustration looked set to continue in a goalless first half at London Road but Ricardo Vaz Te headed the opener on 51 minutes and former Cardiff City loan player Gary O’Neil added his side’s second in the 57th minute.
Middlesbrough missed the chance to leapfrog Brighton into fourth place as they were held 1-1 at Ipswich. Lukas Jutkiewicz put Boro ahead in the 63rd minute but Grant Leadbitter equalised 11 minutes later.
Nottingham Forest nudged closer to safety after a goalless draw at Leicester, who are now four places adrift of the play-off places.
Cardiff City manager Malky Mackay can have no complaints after last night’s matches which leave the Bluebirds in eighth place, outside the play-off places on goal difference only.

By Jeremy Dewar
ON JULY 14, amidst the political chaos of the Tory cabinet’s splits over Brexit and Donald Trump’s visit, a “Free Tommy Robinson” rally packed Whitehall with 6-10,000 assorted far rightists, fascists and the members of football firms, who form the base of the Democratic Football Lads Alliance (DFLA). They were joined outside Downing Street by a smaller demonstration of “Britain Loves Trump” supporters.
Although their numbers were down on the June 9 “Free Tommy ” march, which mobilised 10-15,000, and the Stand Up to Racism counter demonstration was larger than in June, with some 3,000, Socialist Worker’s comment that ‘they were fewer and we were more than before’, was bordering on complacent.
The antifascist forces, despite the event being widely advertised at the preceding day’s vast anti-Trump demo, were, once again, completely outnumbered. Worse still, after the demos dispersed, fascist teams were free to pick off groups of anti-fascist demonstrators in the area. In one such attack, Steve Hedley, senior assistant general secretary of the RMT, was assaulted in a nearby pub.
Since then, we have seen the trashing of the SWP and TUC’s London bookshop and the rise of attacks on mosques (two in Birmingham recently) as well as Boris Johnson climbing on the islamophobic bandwagon with his jeering remarks about women who wear the veil.
The re-entry onto the scene of Nigel Farage could see a populist mass movement, linked to the Tory right wing around Boris Johnson and Jacob Rees-Mogg to “save Brexit” from “betrayal”.
Where the far right surge came from
The far right in Britain has demonstrated a growing strength over the past year, in a series of large street rallies most of which the left and the labour movement have been unable to match, let alone confront.
At first, they were built mainly by linking up “firms” of football hooligans, but organised fascist groups are increasingly in evidence. In the briefly imprisoned Tommy Robinson (real name Stephen Yaxley-Lennon), they acquired a martyr, and quickly built an online cult around him. Various “respectable” far right politicians in Europe and the USA, including Geert Wilders and Steve Bannon, have called for his release.
Robinson, a petty criminal who has served prison sentences for assault, joined the fascist BNP in 2004 and founded the English Defence League in 2009 and the abortive Pegida UK, in 2013. Despite a short period of supposed “repentance” for his anti-Muslim incitement and brief involvement with the dubious Quilliam Foundation, he quickly returned to a vicious baiting of Muslims, both online and in the print media.
“Robinson” is not the originator of the present resurgence of the racist right. The credit for that must go to John Meighan who organised anti-Islam marches in the wake of the London Bridge terrorist attack and the Manchester Arena bombing in March and May of last year. The first two marches of the Football Lads Alliance (FLA) on 24 June and 7 October last year attracted crowds of between 10,000 and 20,000.
Tensions arose within that movement when Meighan tried to ban Union Jacks, the banners of fascist groups and traditional far right regalia from the marches in order to attract non-fascists. His opponents accused him of mishandling funds and a split occurred. A rival, the Democratic FLA, rapidly won the battle for the football firms’ allegiance and associated itself with Tommy Robinson in a 5,000 strong rally, the “Day for Freedom”, in Whitehall on 6 May. The “freedom” in question being their “right” to incite hatred of Muslims and refugees and to denigrate Islam as a religion.
Robinson’s publicity stunt, in which we got himself arrested for filming defendants at a Leeds Crown Court hearing and then streaming it online, paid off handsomely. He was sentenced to 13 months in jail for contempt of court on 29 May, making him the focus for the new movement. Instantly, a #FreeTommy online movement developed with a series of rallies in central London and in cities like Leeds and Manchester and an online petition which quickly gathered over 500,000 signatures. Though the movement’s mass base is the FLA ‘firms’ it draws in white supremacist and islamophobic groups like Generation Identity.
Like its EDL predecessor, this movement is virulently Islamophobic, targeting Muslims as Oswald Moseley targeted the Jews. Indeed, many of the old tropes of antisemitism have been revived such as the “preying on (white) young girls” and targeting women who wear the hijab or niqab. Speakers rant about a Muslim invasion, the establishment of Sharia Law in the UK, etc. and the threat to “our” Judeo-Christian civilization and free speech. It has even pressed into service feminism, secularism, gay rights and, yes, Zionism too, to attack Islam and disguise its own fascist roots. This makes it a rather different target from Moseley’s British Union of Fascists in the 1930s, Martin Webster’s National Front in the 1970s or John Tyndall’s British National Party where the fascism was pretty obvious.
However, the DFLA and Robinson’s supporters have made a particular target of Sadiq Khan, London’s first Muslim Mayor. They tried to raise a Peppa Pig inflatable with Khan’s face on it in Trafalgar Square on July 14. They hate the left, the trade unions and the newly resurgent Labour Party under Jeremy Corbyn.
In addition, “Tommy Robinson” now has the support of a growing array of US Alt-Right and European racist populist parties. Steve Bannon, Trump’s former advisor and the eminence grise of Breitbart News, has called him “the “f***ing backbone of England”. The July 14 rally was ‘chaired’ by Raheem Kassam, Breitbart’s London editor. The “free Tommy” demand was also endorsed by Sam Brownback, the US Ambassador-at-Large for Religious Freedom (sic) and his legal costs have been financed by far-right think tanks, like the US Middle East Forum. Gerard Batten, temporary leader of UKIP, is clearly a hard rightist and islamophobe, at one of the Free Tommy rallies he called the prophet of Islam a paedophile, to loud cheers.
We have to take this coming together of racist populists and assorted fascists deadly seriously. The deep political crisis in Britain over Brexit, which will come to a head between October and March, could create the conditions for it to become a movement on the streets to support a new right wing political force drawing in Tory “hard Brexiteers” like Boris Johnson and Jacob Rees-Mogg as well as the remnants of UKIP.
Nigel Farage, another rich boy pretending to be a man of the people, has announced he will “go back on the road to campaign once again” for the newly formed Leave Means Leave. Bragging, “I’m back!” he explained:
“It is now beyond doubt that the political class in Westminster and many of their media allies do not accept the EU referendum result …. Well, I’ve had enough of their lies, deceit and treachery. The time has come to teach them a lesson – one that they will never forget.”
Arron Banks, who donated £8.6 million to the Leave campaign, will doubtless dig deep for this festival of chauvinism but, this time around, it could have street gangs at its disposal and the racist consequences will be even more overt.
The same combination of racist anti-immigrant hysteria and Europhobia has seen major successes on the continent. In Germany, street movements, like PEGIDA, have grown alongside the racist electoral force, the Alternative for Germany, AfD. We have also seen major increases in far right votes in France and in Austria, Hungary and Italy, far right populists are in government. Donald Trump’s election as president gave a boost to this right wing populist resurgence and emboldened the fascistic far right too. The Robinson fans are enthusiastic Trump supporters and have adapted his slogan to “Make Britain Great Again”.
This surge of the right worldwide is a testimony to the fact that we have entered a new period of inter-imperialist rivalry. At first it takes the form of trade wars, border fences and the demonisation of refugees fleeing wars the great powers themselves created or fomented. Beyond this phase, however, lies the real threat of war. The sections of the ruling classes that are pushing these policies realise they need to create a mass base for themselves and national chauvinism and racism are the basis for it.
How to combat them
We need to build a campaign that not only confronts the far right on the streets with numbers that greatly outnumber and demoralise them but also tackles the racist politics that have become so mainstream in Britain today. The right wing propaganda of the tabloids and the shameless racism of parts of the political establishment, too, are the taproot for the growth of the far right.
Preparing to meet and defeat a mass racist and proto-fascist movement cannot be done by propaganda alone, nor by Love not Hate carnivals in public parks or by “celebrating” multiculturalism. Of course, big Rock Against Racism type events can attract young people but then they need to be organised, recruited into local organisations that can respond quickly and overwhelmingly to the FLA mobilisations.
When racists and fascists take to the streets, the labour movement, and that means the Labour Party and the trade unions, as well as the Muslim and immigrant communities, must also take to the streets and in such huge numbers that it overwhelms them, making them feel small, impotent and afraid. We have to prevent them from intimidating and terrorising their targeted victims because any success in that will feed their growth
Mass antifascist mobilisations, however, have to be defended by people organised in advance to respond to fascist violence, so that the latter will think twice before trying it again. Unprepared and unwary masses can easily be scattered and humiliated by relatively small numbers of more hardened fighters. This means the unions and Labour Party branches, BAME community youth groups, sports clubs with a multiracial memberships, as well as the far left groups, should form defence groups which are trained to protect the masses of ordinary people we want to mobilise.
It is not sufficient to refer complacently to the 6 million trade unionists and 550,000 Labour Party members. If this “mass membership” stays at home when the racists and fascists are on the march, then we are in trouble. Hundreds of thousands marched against Trump and his racism on the streets of London the day before the Robinson rally, yet only 3,500 turned up the next day to confront it. It is plain that Stand Up to Racism and the Socialist Workers Party are not the force that the SWP and the ANL were in the 1980s or even in the resistance to the EDL five or six years ago.
A new initiative?
What we need today is a national and local united front of all the antifascist and racist groups, the Labour Party and trade union branches, and the left political parties. Momentum needs to put its huge database to real use and mobilise all those with the new media skills so that we can overmatch the far right and their millionaire supporters. In every town and city, in every London borough, we should call meetings of all these elements to construct a network of resistance.
John McDonnell, in the wake of Boris Johnson’s dog whistle anti-Muslim “burqa” comments, has called for the relaunch of the Anti-Nazi League, saying: “it’s time for an Anti-Nazi League-type cultural and political campaign to resist……we can no longer ignore the rise of far-right politics in our society”.
This was swiftly followed by a letter signed by some of the original founders of Rock Against Racism and the Anti-Nazi League, which McDonnell described as “very welcome”. He pledged that the Labour party “will take a leading role in this movement against racism and fascism” adding that it was time to start “serious practical work” to organise anti-racists and anti-fascists.
In Red Flag, we believe that the ANL of the late 1970s, and its revival in the 1990s, had features to avoid as well as to imitate. Alongside the essential mass mobilisations, it also courted capitalist parties, religious leaders and celebrities, who downplayed, or even opposed, organised self defence and where necessary forceful confrontation with fascist provocations. A new movement must also be rooted in local fighting organisations and not copy the top down approach of the past.
Certainly it would be excellent if the Labour Party NEC and Conference directed the national organisation, with all its constituencies and local branches, and its MPs, to organising on the streets against the racist and fascist right. Brilliant, too, if the trade unions dID likewise, taking the arguments against islamophobia and all varieties of racism into the workplaces and bringing out their memberships for mass mobilisations.
If we add to this the local branches of the Socialist Workers Party and the other far left groups, then we have the basis for forming local committees that can mobilise all their affiliates quickly when any threat presents itself. Such a force can easily face down the far right marches and rallies and prevent them from marching through areas with significant Muslim, Asian Afro-Caribbean and European immigrant communities. It is these communities themselves that we must mobilise, building an unbreakable chain of solidarity with the labour movement.
The threat of the right is an international one; Bannon and the US Alt right are trying to create something he calls “The Movement” to link the racist parties of Europe to the Trump supporters’ movement in the USA. His aim is to boost the far right parties in next year’s EU Parliament elections. It should be obvious that the Left needs to be more international than our enemies.
Jeremy Corbyn once talked about Labour calling international conferences of parties fighting austerity in Europe. Since Syriza started implementing austerity, he has fallen silent on this idea. It falls to the rank and file of the Left in Labour, and the groups outside it, to take the initiative and call a meeting of anti-racist, anti-fascist movements and anti-austerity parties, trade unions, refugee and migrant groups. We did it with the summit sieges, anti-war mobilisations and the European social forums of 2000-2006; we can do it again.
Labour under Corbyn needs to develop a programme that is even more radical than the 2017 election manifesto. It needs to address the real needs of those who have been seduced by the lies of the Daily Mail, the Express and the Sun, which blame immigrants for poorly paid or no jobs, housing shortages etc.
What we need to drain the swamp of misery in the old industrial areas that feeds racism is a truly mass programme of well-paid job creation, of house, school and hospital building, all run by the public sector and paid for by taxation of the super-rich. Empowering working people to building a new world for themselves is the only answer to the bizarre fantasies of restoring “lost” national greatness. Socialist hope is the only answer to racist and fascist despair. In the process, we must halt the rise of the Robinson crusade and show them in no uncertain terms that they have bitten off far more than they can chew.

What do you do with miso? It seems like every recipe uses a teaspoon and you’re left with this big container to languish in your fridge for months. Years. I am in a unique position in that I have 3 kinds of miso languishing in my fridge right now. Three kinds! White, red and brown, in fat stubby containers that get pushed here and there, slowly accumulating a questionable amount of refrigerator debris (aka “crud”) on the lids. It’s a wonder I don’t have yellow miso too. Not sure how I missed out on that one. These containers are always in the way yet I hesitate to throw them out. Why? I think that someday I’ll find a use for them. It’s a curse.
And try, I do. There’s soup, obviously, but it’s been too hot for soup. I made miso brownies a while back. They were terrible. I’ve made the ubiquitous miso black cod recipe numerous times to great success but that uses pitifully little. I read that a spoonful of miso and some parmesan cheese makes a great quick pasta sauce that I’ve been meaning to try. I even told a friend of mine she should write her next newspaper column about how to use up that miso hiding in your fridge. Despite my best, half heated attempts, this stuff didn’t seem to be going anywhere anytime soon. So I’ve redoubled my efforts to find good, interesting uses for a lot of miso. Starting with these wings.
I had the great idea last month to start a “chicken wing Friday” thing. Football season had started and I do so love chicken wings. The time seemed right now that I could turn on my oven and not completely melt. Chicken wings are easy. They’re inexpensive and often on sale. Why not roast them up and toss in some sort of miso sauce, in this case an adaption of a favorite Food52 recipe? Miso, honey and butter? How great does that sound? And the recipe uses a whole 2 Tablespoons of miso. Now we’re talking.
I used my current favorite roasting method: a quick toss in a flour mixture and a high heat roast. The sauce was reduced slightly on the stove then tossed with the wings for a few more minutes of roasting to crisp up. Delicious! Salty, a little sweet, a little rich. I used a red miso, because I like it’s slightly earlier flavor here but any miso would be good. White is a little milder, brown is a touch more savory. If you have the sample problem I do with an overabundance of miso, use what you have. That’s the point.
STRESS THERAPY BAKING FACTOR: BEAUTIFUL USES. As someone who has a continual stream of ingredients flowing through my house, I have to be vigilant in using them. This is not always the case so it feels good, in this instance to use a few good spoonfuls for a quick and fairly easy snack. Wish that all things went this smoothly. In the meantime, I’m still working through those tubs. Holler if you need some miso.

MISO HONEY BUTTER CHICKEN WINGS – adapted from this recipe
serves 2 but can easily be multiplied
I like the slightly stronger flavor or red miso but use what you have. That’s the point.
for the wings:
1 ½ – 2 pounds chicken wingettes and drumettes
2 Tablespoons unbleached all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon kosher salt
for the sauce:
3 Tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
2 Tablespoons red miso (or other miso if that is what you have)
3 Tablespoons mild honey, such as clover
- For the wings: Preheat the oven to 450°F. Line a large baking sheet with foil and spray with vegetable cooking spray.
- If the wings haven’t been separated into drumettes and flats, do so now by trimming off the wingtip (discard or save for stock), and giving the wing a twist to separate the joint. With a sharp knife, slice between the joint to separate the wing into 2 pieces.
- In a bowl, mix the flour with the salt.
- Add the wings and toss to coat.
- Dust off any excess flour mixture and spread the wings on the baking sheet in a single layer and spray the wings with vegetable cooking spray.
- Roast the chicken for 30 minutes, turning once or twice, until browned and crispy.
- For the sauce: in a small saucepan, combine the butter, honey and miso. Bring to a boil then reduce to low and simmer until thickened, about 4-5 minutes. Set aside until needed.
- When the chicken wings are ready, place them in a medium bowl, pour over the sauce and toss to coat.
- Return to the wings to the sheet pan and cook again for another 4-5 minutes to crisp a bit, turning halfway through.
- Serve hot or room temperature.

Presented by Paystrubmakr.com By John Wolf and Tom Cullen CPA
New businesses need an excellent product and need to be able to pay the bills until they start to make some money. To be able to accomplish your business objectives as an employer, it is imperative to validate your income to credit agencies. Showing your earnings and deductions with the apt presentation of pay stubs can help you in attaining a favorable credit score. These pay stubs show employees’ current statistical data, which includes gross pay per hour, tax deductions, benefits, and overall total compensation.
Nowadays, a pay stub is a demanded necessity by employees. Each employer should have appropriate software that will enable him or her to generate these essential documents for his or her employees.
Importance of pay stubs in the business
Pay stubs are must-haves in a company because they maintain transparency among employers and employees. The main reason is that the employees want to know the actual amount they have earned and the number and size of the deductions made from their salary. Besides social welfare deductions, such as Medicare, there are also State and Federal income taxes, medical insurance, and a long list of other possible items that be removed.
Generating a pay stub makes it easier for employees to know what led to their salary (be it monthly or annual) not being the same as their pay rate times the hours they worked. Employees who want to keep a track record of their income, as well as deducted amounts from their payment and pay stubs, hold a vital role in the employer-employee relationship. State Individual Income Tax Rates and Brackets for 2020
The Positives of creating pay stubs
Pay stubs can be easily obtained through a paycheck stub generator and then be printed on regular paper, thus saving cost and precious time from working with a large payroll processor.
As an employer, it is essential to have a good credit score when applying for a loan. For verifying the annual average income of your business, monthly financial statements are necessary. Pay stubs will aid financial institutions and agencies who scrutinize your information to quickly see the history and level of salary paid, which increases the professionalism of your organization in their eyes (hint – this will help get the loan!).
How to generate a pay stub for business?
Taking into consideration the importance of a pay stub in the smooth operation of payroll management, employers should know how to create one by online pay stub generator. That means that an employer does not need to exclusively rely on the software they are using for their accounting, which will usually charge substantial amounts to create and process paychecks. There are plenty of websites available where one could get a template with a minimal fee to generate pay stubs for employees. But, it is essential that the particular site used to be quick and accurate.
If you’re looking to create pay stubs online for your employees, then look for a secure pay stub generator so that you don’t end up wasting a lot of your valuable time. Once you find a reliable pay stub generator, fill in some necessary details and all other calculations will be done automatically. If you’re worried about trusting a pay stub generator, remember that big organizations, as well as small enterprises, already believe in the accuracy and reliability of online paycheck stubs for their employees.

Same-Sex Dynamics Among Nineteenth-Century Americans: A Mormon Example, by D. Michael Quinn. (Urbana, Ill.: University of Illinois Press, 1996) 410 pp., 21 photographs, cloth $29.95.
Outing historical individuals as homosexual or lesbian is a rather risky task, even more so if a strongly organized religion is involved. D. Michael Quinn, a former history professor at Brigham Young University and now an excommunicated member of the Mormon church, has found this out by personal experience. Threats of legal action twice delayed the publication of this study, Same-Sex Dynamics Among Nineteenth-Century Americans: A Mormon Example, but Quinn, who has come out of the closet as a gay, triumphed. It is not a sensational book, but one of careful and guarded scholarship. Quinn is interested in finding the truth as he sees it, not sensationalizing it.
He is not, however, a sexologist, and one of the problems sexologists have to wrestle with the connection between what might be called “same-sex eroticism” and homosexual or lesbian intercourse. Let me illustrate. Americans, including Mormons, in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, lived in a more sex-segregated society than they do now. Men hugged and kissed one another and had close friendships with other men. The same was true of women, and to some extent still is. In Italy today men often hold hands, kiss, and embrace each other, but is this “homoeroticism” homosexuality? One of the factors changing both English and American customs was the sensational trial of Oscar Wilde, and emotional relationships between men began to be severely stigmatized in the English-speaking world.
While Quinn is careful to describe many actions as only homoerotic, he also manages to leave the impression that something more was involved, something difficult to document and also which ignores strong male-to-male and female-to-female bonding of the period. He provides pitifully few cases of actual homosexuality, and his book is a testimony that homosexuality was not noticed or commented on as long as it was discrete. He relates the histories of a few men who lived with younger men (sometimes a series of them) over the course of their lives, never marrying. Similarly, he describes a few women who lived together for years at a time, a not unusual occurrence in America past where society feared the woman who lived alone more than two living together. Only a handful of individuals were ever excommunicated from the Mormon church over homosexuality and none for lesbianism, and as diligent as Quinn is in searching diaries and other data, he is hard put to identify much more than same-sex eroticism that might or might not have resulted in sexual activity.
The best source of his data is from archival materials dealing with twenty-five lesbians (he says twenty-four) and nine homosexuals that my wife, Bonnie and I, deposited, and from which we wrote about. Here I can speak with real knowledge of Quinn’s devotion to scholarship, and of his bias. Our main disagreement with him was whether the subjects in our study were or were not Mormon. The question of whether one is a Mormon is essentially the same as whether one is gay or lesbian. The women and men in our study were clearly homosexual or lesbian, but since we personally knew many of them and were told stories about them, we held that most were not Mormons, or if they had been Mormons left the church early on. By Quinn’s definition, I myself would be a Mormon, although I left the Mormon church when I was eighteen, joining the Unitarian church at nineteen and becoming a humanist roughly at the same time. Although I was not formally excommunicated by the Mormon church until years later, this was not from want of trying. Many of the people in the study eventually left Salt Lake City because they wanted to avoid as much contact with the Mormon church as possible. According to Quinn’s criteria, they are, however, Mormon.
In short, the book is a detailed and interesting study of homoerotic friendships and attitudes, but only occasionally is there evidence of homosexual or lesbian sexual relationships. Quinn’s attempt to utilize the most valuable sources, that of my wife and myself, emphasizes more his mission to legitimatize homosexual and lesbianism in a Mormon setting than a commitment to gathering actual facts. Either he can be accused of perverting his data or having a totally different definition of who and what constitutes a Mormon. I believe it is the latter.
Quinn, even though he has been excommunicated, still considers himself a true Mormon. I long ago ceased to regard myself as a Mormon and believe religion is a matter of choice, not of biology. I regard Quinn’s interpretation of Mormonism as a major flaw in his work.
