On top of being a mom to a high schooler and a college student, Peg Bradley added a monumental task to her to-do list: open a homeless shelter with her neighbor, Mike Gretz.
"We had no money, no Board, no employees," said Gretz, who was busy running his own confectionery business. "We started from nothing."
The two lived in Lake Forest and served as deacons at First Presbyterian Church of Lake Forest. They persuaded friends to help. Within just four months, the grassroots group opened Lake County Haven in Libertyville.
Gretz learned to write grant proposals, and he was successful - landing a $30,000 grant from United Way of Lake County. The deacons at First Presbyterian awarded $10,000. They were off and running.
"I was at a time in my life when I could help," Bradley said. "I was at the shelter full-time, and Mike was on the phone constantly looking for money."
The Haven will celebrate its 25th anniversary on May 19, a fact Bradley and Gretz find hard to believe.
"I couldn't think that far ahead when we opened," Bradley said. "My only thought was to keep the doors open and keep helping people."
At one point, Bradley stood in an empty kitchen at the shelter. Before long, help arrived.
"First Presbyterian Church of Lake Forest has a big rummage sale every year," Bradley said. "One woman went and bought absolutely everything we needed for a kitchen - dishes, pots and pans. We didn't have to get anything."
And it's been that way ever since. Today, volunteers bring meals, run groups, donate clothing and furniture and help shelter residents with tasks like writing resumes and doing job searches.
"Nobody, not one single person in this town, looks at you like, 'Oh, that's a Haven girl,'" said Carol, who graduated from Lake County Haven three years ago and who stayed in Libertyville.
"This whole community is so supportive. I can't even begin to tell how supportive the schools are and continue to be."
"So many businesses and residents want to help in any way they can, whether it's financial, volunteering or buying a ticket to an event," Bradley said.
Bradley and Gretz moved out of state, but both returned to attend the fundraising gala May 6.
The community's involvement is evident in the shelter itself, which is located inside a home on a quiet Libertyville street. Volunteers help with everything from cooking the meals to applying a fresh coat of paint to even remodeling the kitchen, with supplies donated.
When former residents Lori and Carol arrived at the serene, orderly shelter, they were stunned. They expected a drab room with cots. Lori asked if she could sit in the back yard.
"To this day, it is still the most peaceful I have ever been in my life," Lori said. "It was a feeling of complete safety. I don't know if I can put it into words."
What stood out, too, was the welcome staff gave them.
"They gave me a sincere, genuine welcome," Lori said. "You literally are walking into open arms."
"They care about every single person," Carol said. "Even when you graduate, you can call and say, 'I need help' and anyone at the Haven will help you."
Women become homeless for many reasons, said longtime Executive Director Laura Sabino, including mental or physical health issues and domestic violence. Often, they come from backgrounds of childhood abuse or may be experiencing PTSD from sexual assault, Sabino said.
"We are all vulnerable," Sabino said. "Our clients are not some other sort of person… a 'homeless person.' They are just people, people who are going through crisis and homelessness, but they can come out of it too - with help."
Each resident partners with a case manager to develop a plan that treats the whole person, addressing mental, physical, spiritual, financial, and employment issues. Residents must do chores and obey a curfew. They must aggressively look for jobs and save 80 percent of their income.
Roughly 88 percent of residents maintain stable, independent housing when they graduate, Sabino said.
"The nuts and bolts of the program, the structure, is how I became who I am today," Lori said.
"There is a lot of structure, and I definitely needed that," Carol said. "I still give myself a curfew. I make sure I go to work. Even the way I grocery shop is what the Haven taught me."
Lake County Haven operates a transitional shelter program where residents stay four months. Some residents then enter a transitional housing program that typically lasts a year. The transitional housing program helps women find secure jobs, save money, and, in the case of both Carol and Lori, regain custody of their children.
"Women can overcome the issues that caused them to be homeless and be independent," Bradley said. "And if you can provide a stable home for their children, they can grow up and blossom."
That's certainly been the case for Carol and her son. Carol now enjoys being just another Libertyville resident helping the Haven. She often speaks on behalf of the Haven. This year, her son, graduating eighth grade, spoke alongside his mother at the annual fundraising gala.
"He loves the Haven as much as I do," Carol said. "They saved my life. There is no way to repay something like that. But if I can help save one life, I am going to do it."
Sabino urged residents and businesses to become involved with the cause that Bradley and Gretz entrusted to Libertyville 25 years ago - whether by volunteering, donating or adopting-a-night at the shelter. Every single donation helps a resident succeed, she said.
"It is very rewarding to know that the Haven has lasted," Gretz said.

On November 3, the chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC) informed the court’s Pre-Trial Chamber, “[T]here is a reasonable basis to believe that war crimes and crimes against humanity have been committed in connection with the armed conflict in Afghanistan.”
In what Amnesty International’s Solomon Sacco called a “seminal moment for the ICC,” Chief Prosecutor Fatou Bensouda asked the court for authorization to commence an investigation that would focus on US military and CIA leaders, as well as Taliban and Afghan officials.
Bensouda wrote in a November 14, 2016, report that her preliminary examination revealed “a reasonable basis to believe” the “war crimes of torture and ill-treatment” had been committed “by US military forces deployed to Afghanistan and in secret detention facilities operated by the Central Intelligence Agency, principally in the 2003-2004 period, although allegedly continuing in some cases until 2014.”
The chief prosecutor noted the alleged crimes by the CIA and US armed forces “were not the abuses of a few isolated individuals,” but rather were “part of approved interrogation techniques in an attempt to extract ‘actionable intelligence’ from detainees.” She added there was “reason to believe” that crimes were “committed in the furtherance of a policy or policies … which would support US objectives in the conflict of Afghanistan.”
In accordance with its Rome Statute, the ICC only asserts jurisdiction over people whose home country is unwilling or unable to bring them to justice. In explaining why this war crimes investigation falls under the ICC’s jurisdiction, Bensouda wrote that the US Department of Justice investigations regarding ill-treatment of 101 detainees were limited to whether interrogation techniques used by CIA interrogators were unauthorized and violated criminal statutes. The US Attorney General (AG) said the Justice Department would not prosecute anyone who acted in good faith and within the guidance provided by the Office of Legal Counsel (OLC).
The AG investigated only two incidents and found the evidence insufficient to obtain convictions. In one case, Gul Rahman froze to death after being stripped and shackled to a cold cement floor in the secret Afghan prison known as the Salt Pit. In the other, Manadel al-Jamadi died in Iraq’s Abu Ghraib prison after he was suspended from the ceiling by his wrists which were bound behind his back. Former military policeman Tony Diaz, who witnessed al-Jamadi’s torture, said that blood gushed from his mouth like “a faucet had turned on” when he was lowered to the ground. A military autopsy concluded that al-Jamadi’s death was a homicide. However, the AG ultimately refused to prosecute the Bush officials responsible for the torture and deaths of those two men.
In 2008, ABC News reported that Dick Cheney, Condoleezza Rice, Donald Rumsfeld, George Tenet and John Ashcroft met in the White House and micromanaged the torture of terrorism suspects by approving specific torture techniques such as waterboarding. George W. Bush admitted in his 2010 memoir that he authorized waterboarding. Cheney, Rice and John Yoo – author of the OLC’s most egregious torture memos – have made similar admissions.
Were the ICC to pursue its investigation, the United States, which is not a party to the Rome Statute, would very likely refuse to relinquish any US person to the ICC. During the Bush administration, Congress passed the American Service-Members Protection Act, which says if US persons are sent to the ICC in The Hague, the US military can forcibly extract them. The act also restricts US cooperation with the ICC and prohibits military assistance to states parties to the Rome Statute unless they sign bilateral immunity agreements with the US.
States which sign these “Article 98” agreements — referring to the section of the Rome Statute that addresses treaties between countries — pledge not to hand over US nationals to the ICC. The United States has reportedly extracted those agreements from over 100 countries — primarily small nations, or fragile democracies with weak economies. Moreover, the US government has withdrawn military aid from several nations that refused to be coerced into signing them.
However, under the Rome Statute, the ICC can take jurisdiction over a national of even a non-party state if he or she commits a crime in a state party’s territory. The US vehemently objects to this, but it’s nothing new. Under well-established principles of international law, the crimes being prosecuted in the ICC — genocide, war crimes, crimes against humanity — are crimes of universal jurisdiction.
The doctrine of universal jurisdiction permits any country to try foreign nationals for the most egregious crimes, even without any direct relationship to the prosecuting country. That means other nations can bring US leaders to justice for war crimes and crimes against humanity.
Indeed, the United States has asserted jurisdiction over foreign nationals in anti-terrorism, anti-narcotics trafficking, torture and war crimes cases. The US government tried, convicted and sentenced Charles “Chuckie” Taylor Jr. to federal prison for torture committed in Liberia. Israel tried, convicted and executed Adolph Eichmann for his crimes during the Holocaust.
There will be strong political pressure to avoid liability for US leaders. But Bensouda has undoubtedly withstood heavy pressure by asking the court to approve an investigation into crimes committed in Afghanistan. She also invariably faced considerable pushback for opening a preliminary examination in January 2015 of possible war crimes committed by Israel and the Palestinians in Gaza. Bensouda is expected to announce the results of that examination in December.
The ICC has been criticized for focusing almost exclusively on African leaders. This is apparently changing with possible investigations into the conflicts in Afghanistan and Palestine.
If a full investigation of US officials proceeds as requested, it “would send a clear signal to the Trump administration and other countries around the world that torture is categorically prohibited, even in times of war, and there will be consequences for authorizing and committing acts of torture,” according to Jamil Dakwar, director of the ACLU’s Human Rights Program.
During the presidential campaign, Donald Trump declared he would “immediately” resume waterboarding and would “bring back a hell of a lot worse than waterboarding” because the United States is facing a “barbaric” enemy. He labeled waterboarding a “minor form” of interrogation.
“The long overdue message that no one is above the law is particularly important now, as the Trump administration ramps up military machinations in Afghanistan and embraces the endless war with no plan in sight,” Katherine Gallagher, a senior lawyer at the Center for Constitutional Rights, said in a statement.

Families want to know if one of the reasons of halting the investigation was, as they claim, the fact that the murderer came from the village of Ćuška, the birthplace of the former commander of the Kosovo Liberation Army and the current minister of Kosovo’s security forces, Agim Ceku.
GORAŽDEVAC, SRNA – Tuesday marks the 12th anniversary of the murder of Serbian children in Goraždevac near Peć. On August 13, 2003, Ivan Jovović aged 19 and Pantelija Dakić aged 12 were taking a swim in the Bistrica River when they were shot dead with automatic weapons.

In his latest interview for Serbia’s National Public Service Radio, Srdja Trifkovic discusses the geopolitical significance of the Balkan Peninsula, through the centuries, in the context of today’s complex strategic equation in Southeastern Europe.
Q: The Balkan Peninsula is an area where empires, cultures and religions have clashed for centuries. For starters, can we define the geostrategic significance of the Balkans, or at least to outline some of its permanent features?
ST: Those permanent features are primarily geographic. The peninsula is the land bridge between Central Europe and the Middle East. At the same time, it is the point of encounter and ...
Outrageous: Slobodan Milosevic cleared of charges by the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia. But no-one is talking about it!The ICTY (International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia) has discharged Slobodan Milosevic from 1992-95 Bosnian war crimes allegations. This is definitely prime time news, while it holds endless political implications. Oddly enough, though, no major international mainstream media seems to have noticed.Well, it is understable for everyone to be keeping it quiet: those who with one voice did dub him the “butcher of the Balkans”; those who associated him to Hitler, initiating a pattern which would later be extended ...
Miloš Zeman said in an interview for the Serbian newspaper Večernje novosti, that recognition of Kosovo’s independence has opened a Pandora’s Box and called the Kosovo deputy Prime Minister Hashim Thaçi a war criminal.
Zeman, among other things, confirmed that he will travel to Moscow for the celebrations of the end of the Second World War because the Soviet army liberated most of the former Czechoslovakia.
The Czech president has openly expressed himself on Kosovo in the past, for example he labeled the country a very strange state with a strong narco-mafia influence.

In another grim milestone for the United States and NATO, the Council of Europe (COE) released an explosive report last week, “Inhuman treatment of people and illicit trafficking in human organs in Kosovo.”The report charged that former Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) boss and current Prime Minister, Hashim Thaçi, “is the head of a ‘mafia-like’ Albanian group responsible for smuggling weapons, drugs and human organs through eastern Europe,” The Guardian disclosed.According to a draft resolution unanimously approved December 16 in Paris, the Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights found compelling evidence of forced disappearances, organ trafficking, corruption and collusion between ...
The United States is immersed in a political St. Vitus’s dance typical of empires in convulsion. The confident colossus that watched its arch-rival disintegrate from 1989-1991 now has its highest office occupied by a malevolent clown enabled by supporters befitting a casting call for a Hieronymous Bosch panel. The liberal class gnashes its teeth and blames Trump, the Koch brothers, the Tea Party. But the shock is hardly credible. The current political trap befits a country that internalized its own Cold War propaganda campaign from 1945-1991. The unrelenting flow of messages aimed at keeping Americans fearful and accommodating debased our ...
Ever since the end of World War II, the United States, rightly or wrongly, but most of the time, wrongly, has fancied itself as the «world’s policeman». Even a disastrous and costly military intervention in Southeast Asia did not deter the United States from acting as the chief arbiter of what governments were «in» and which were «out» as evidenced by Central Intelligence Agency interloping in Nicaragua, El Salvador, Angola, Haiti, and Colombia. Two military interventions in Iraq and a U.S.-led military campaign directed against Yugoslavia were not enough to pry the United States from its self-appointed role as the ...
On September 10th, 2015 a City Council of Croatia’s capital Zagreb decided to promote a war criminal General Ante Gotovina to “honorable citizen of the City of Zagreb” for his “contribution to the defending of Croatia’s independence and territorial integrity”. The General, however, as a Commander-in-Chief of Croatia’s army, is directly responsible for a brutal ethnic cleansing and war crimes committed by Croatia’s army, police forces and state authorities over the Serbs during the SS-punishment-style military-police operation “Storm” (Oluja) in August 1995 when around 3000 ethnic Serbs in the Krajina region were killed and 250.000 expelled from their homes. That ...
Unless We Learn Our History, We’re Doomed to Repeat It
Preface: I am a patriotic American who loves my country. I was born here, and lived here my entire life.
So why do I frequently point out America’s warts? Because – as the Founding Fathers and Supreme Court judges have explained – we can only make America better if we honestly examine her shortcomings. After all:
“Dissent is the highest form of patriotism.”
Only when Americans can honestly look at our weaknesses can we become stronger. If we fail to do so, history will repeat …
While Americans rightly condemn the Nazis as monstrous people, ...
The refusal of the United Nations to qualify the recent US airstrike against Syria as an act of aggression makes the Organization irrelevant – something Russia has been trying to prevent. It has become vulnerable to scathing criticism after demonstrating its impotence and inability to act. The continued paralysis is an eloquent example of the UN’s disengagement and lack of political will to fulfill its duty. The Organization’s image has suffered great damage. It still has a chance to rectify it by launching an investigation into what really happened in Syria.
Article One of the UN Charter states that one of the purposes is ...
Stepan Bandera’s 106th birthday celebration passed on New Year’s day 2015 and the question of what it means in Ukraine is front and center again. Are there really nazis in Ukraine today? When the Prime Minister of Ukraine Arseni Yatsenyuk can say on German News “We cannot allow Russia to attack Ukraine and Germany again like the Soviet Union did in 1941” – Isn’t that case closed regarding ideology?
Yet history and the facts are clear that the Bandera legacy has little to do with Ukrainian history except mass murder.
Instead history shows the mass murderer and torturer Bandera’s greatest impact on the ...
Taking the extraordinary USA and EU economic sanctions against Russia and low oil prices since 2014 into account, Russia’s economic outlook looks excellent going forward while that of Trump’s America looks bleak, to put it mildly. Paraphrasing the memorable 1992 Presidential candidates debate between a then-young William Jefferson Clinton and George H.W. Bush, “It’s the debt, stupid.”
In the past few years too many US economists and analysts such as Moody’s Credit Rating have tried to dismiss the economy of the Russian Federation as a near-bankrupt Soviet-era oil and gas-dependent economy, devastated by the 2014 collapse in oil price. This is ...
It is apparent given the timelines and the lack of time given to verifying the validity of accusations concerning the gas attack in Homs, Syria, that plans had already been coordinated for such an attack. Watching the mainstream media the viewer receives the impression from the wording of the announcers reports and questions for the “experts” that the matter was already decided in favour of the U.S. military strike on the airbase. I see pictures of Colin Powell at the UN holding up glossy photos of supposed chemical weapons manufacturing plants.
It demonstrates to a high degree how easily manipulated Trump ...

The operation conducted by the USA and NATO in Ukraine began in 1991 after the Soviet Union collapsed and the Warsaw Pact, which was a part of the Soviet Union, also disintegrated.

At the beginning of March 2017, it will be exactly six years since the beginning of the conflict in Syria. Some journalists even make unfavorable forecasts wondering about the very possibility of reconciliation. Complicated by the foreign intervention on the part of Israel war in Lebanon, for example, had been for about 15 years. But even a six-year term it is too long.
That is why we may hope that the meeting in Astana scheduled on January 23 will eventually lead to a positive result. And then there will be an occasion to consolidate the success of the negotiations in Geneva ...
Americans are outraged by allegations that Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered an intelligence service to hack email accounts of the Democratic National Committee. How inexpressibly heinous that one country, Russia, would try to influence elections in another sovereign country, in this case the United States! How unprecedented! How diabolical! How uniquely Russian!
In response, the Obama administration has expelled Russian diplomats, hinted at economic sanctions, and promised further retaliation using America’s “world-class arsenal of cyber weapons.” (NYT Dec. 16, 2016) Obama’s Republican opponents, for their part, have demanded “rocks” instead of Obama’s “pebbles.”
But does the USA meddle in the presidential elections ...
Many innocent civilians were killed in American military interventions around the world – from Vietnam and Serbia to Iran and Afghanistan, because of the alleged “errors” or “collateral damage” – without consequences for civil and military leadership. In addition to political, military and every other power, Americans secured itself with legal mechanisms.
Twenty-two civilians, wounded and doctors, among them three children, were killed in the American bombing of a hospital in the Afghan city of Kunduz. Americans acknowledged the error and apologized. The President of the United States expressed his condolences, the military leadership announced three independent investigations. “Doctors without borders” ...

Part I, Part II
Territorial imperialism of the HDZ’s Croatia
The fact was that all ultranationalistic parties and organizations in the 1990s struggled for the creation of a Greater Croatia according to the principle of the ethnographic, historical and even natural rights. In all of those concepts, Bosnia-Herzegovina was seen as an integral part of united Croatia. There were, in principle, two concepts of united Croatia:
A minimal concept of Croatia within the borders of the Banovina Hrvatska as it was in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia in 1939−1941 (when a Greater Croatia as a separate and autonomous administrative territory became a state ...
After the catastrophic attacks of September 11 2001 monumental sorrow and a feeling of desperate and understandable anger began to permeate the American psyche. A few people at that time attempted to promote a balanced perspective by pointing out that the United States had also been responsible for causing those same feelings in people in other nations, but they produced hardly a ripple. Although Americans understand in the abstract the wisdom of people around the world empathizing with the suffering of one another, such a reminder of wrongs committed by our nation got little hearing and was soon overshadowed by ...

If it wasn't for the view of the Manhattan skyline, people in the stands Saturday would not have even realized they were in Red Hook.
The Brooklyn Cruise Terminal parking lot has been transformed into a massive race track for the second annual Qatar Airways New York City E-Prix. Yes, electric race cars that can clock in close to 150 miles per hour.
"We are a green racing series. We are the only ones that can really claim that," Formula E advisor Mike Hopper said. "We just received our international certification not only for the racing, but the entire event footprint is sustainable and green by international standards”
The track is nearly 1.5 miles long, and there's also a large futuristic e-village for racing enthusiasts to take part in virtual reality racing and more.
"I think it's a good opportunity for kids, adults, everyone to try and do what the real drivers do on the track," one racing fan said after checking out the virtual reality. "I think that’s a really good way to get them to know what it's like."
The two-day event is the end of a seven-month Formula E championship season that spans ten other cities and five continents.
"I always watch it on TV because it's always elsewhere, so I'm very excited to be here to see it live," a Formula E fan said.
The race was first held in Brooklyn last year, and organizers said the borough was a perfect pick.
"Red Hook, Brooklyn is not only a great place for a backdrop of a race, but the community has been fantastic. They come, they've all got passes to come and see the e-village and see these cars on track," Hopper said. "We've had drivers do school visits and we're making sure that they are as excited about it as we are to be here."
Formula E representatives anticipate roughly 40,000 paying customers but also gave out 1,000 free tickets to local organizations like the Red Hook Library, the Brooklyn borough president's office, and community centers.
Plus, local businesses took part, including food trucks, printing companies providing gear, and storefronts hosting parties.
"I have a business to make money and survive in hard times, stuff like that," said Adel-Adel, the manager of a food truck, Gorilla Cheese NYC. "It's a great sport here and people love it around the world and they love New York City."
The races are scheduled to wrap up Sunday afternoon with this year's Formula E championship. The next season is slated to pick up in December.

Children's "Garden of Senses"
For the past three years there has been a children's "Garden of Senses" close to Lake Constance in Stockach-Wahlwies, where children can learn from and with the flora and fauna, and discover their diversity while still in early childhood. When sowing, planting onions, digging in the soil, harvesting and exploring natural processes in a child's playful way, children learn how everything is connected to each other. A main focus is the work with bumblebees and wild bees, for which the children build individual nesting aids, and then observe their colonization and the busy visits to the many different kinds of flowers in the garden, while consciously experiencing this year with the bees.
Especially for the Waldorf Jubilee celebrating the Waldorf education centennial in 2019, the honeybee is the focus for everyone involved. Children, parents, and educators will come together to plant hundreds of bee-friendly shrubs and bushes in the Children's Garden of Senses. Furthermore, the cooperation with the neighboring Waldorf School shall be intensified in horticulture classes, because some bee colonies are already settled there. In spring 2018, a highly interesting lecture will be held there with Dr. Frank Krumm within the framework of the KulturWerkstattSchule, titled "About trees and bees – what can we learn?". He is an expert in beekeeping in living trees, and in the production of log hives (human-built bee houses consisting of a hollowed tree trunk). At the beginning of 2019, before the bee year begins, an evening is also planned with the long-standing beekeeper Dr. Ulrich Miller, who will talk about ecological and appropriate beekeeping.

Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) is leading a House GOP effort to block Democrats from using a last-minute stopgap funding bill to tie Republicans’ hands in 2023 if they take the majority.
In a letter addressed to House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) obtained by The Epoch Times, Roy demands that Republicans oppose any continuing resolution (CR) that raises current spending levels or expires before Jan. 3, 2023.
Because the 118th Congress will sit for the first time on Jan. 3, allowing a CR to run out before then could give a lame-duck Democrat majority a last minute chance to fund its policies through all of fiscal year 2023, even if voters give Republicans a mandate in the new Congress.
In the letter, which is circulating among House Republicans, Roy wrote: “Federal dollars are fueling rampant inflation and funding the Biden administration’s radical agenda. This includes empowering authoritarian bureaucrats at agencies like the IRS and FBI, implementing open-border policies that are threatening our communities, imposing COVID-19 mandates that shut down schools and are forcing our military servicemembers out of their jobs, and advancing self-destructive energy policies.
“As the September 30th federal funding deadline approaches, Republicans must do what is necessary to ensure that not one additional penny will go toward this administration’s radical, inflationary agenda,” he continued. “Any legislation that sets the stage for a ‘lame duck’ fight on government funding gives Democrats one final opportunity to pass that agenda.
“Therefore, we, the undersigned, pledge to the American people to reject any continuing resolution that expires prior to the first day of the 118th Congress, or any appropriations package put forward in the remaining months of this Democrat-led Congress.”
Another Warning About Democrat ProposalsIn a statement put forward by Republican Study Committee Chairman Jim Banks (R-Ind.), Banks warned about several proposals by Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) that Republicans were likely to oppose (pdf).
These provisions include another $22.4 billion for COVID-19 while doing nothing to offset the new spending, new military aid to Ukraine rounding out to about $11.7 billion, and a pathway to citizenship for approximately 76,000 Afghans without lawful permanent resident status, among others.
Banks called on his party to use the opportunity to juxtapose the Republican vision with that of Democrats.
“Over the next three weeks, Democrats plan to attack American energy, increase the deficit and further fuel inflation, give amnesty to tens of thousands of unvetted refugees from Taliban-controlled Afghanistan, strip voters of their say in funding the government for an entire year and further abuse Joe Biden’s permanent pandemic power,” Banks wrote.
Senators Echo Roy’s DemandSimilar demands were set forth by Sens. Rick Scott (R-Fla.), Ted Cruz (R-Texas), and Mike Lee (R-Utah) in an op-ed for Fox News.
“Month after month for the last two years, Democrats and President Joe Biden have been able to advance their radical agenda while Republicans have largely been sidelined,” the trio wrote, citing a series of partisan bills advanced under the reconciliation process during the 117th Congress with little to no GOP input in either chamber.
“It’s time for Republicans to stand united and demand that Congress pass a clean continuing resolution (CR) that simply maintains current federal spending levels—and not a penny more—until a new Congress begins,” the op-ed continued.
Heading off liberal critiques of the demand, the senators wrote that “forcing Congress to pass a clean CR will not result in ANY cuts to funding or services. What this will do is ensure that the federal government continues to operate as it must for the American people until a new Congress begins in 2023.”
“Second, this is not some convoluted scheme to cause a government shutdown. If Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., called a vote tomorrow on a clean CR that extends government funding to January 31, 2023, it would easily pass. This is about accountability and doing what’s right for American taxpayers. That’s it.
“It’s time for Republicans to stand up and unite. We cannot green light one more liberal priority that will simply send America further in the wrong direction,” the op-ed concluded. “We must show strength now and prove to the American people that we will end the madness in Washington and return power back to them, where it rightly belongs.”
Ultimately, the Senate is likely to be the final word on the fate of any CR, and Schumer may find himself unable to overcome GOP opposition to any new spending after two years of partisan spending by Democrats.

Presenters Jay Leno, left, and Jimmy Fallon pose in the press room during… (Kevin Winter / Getty Images )
With Jimmy Fallon officially set to take over “The Tonight Show” from Jay Leno next year, viewers can expect plenty of changes to the nearly 60-year-old late-night franchise. Of course there’s the show’s geographic relocation, from Burbank to a souped-up new studio at 30 Rockefeller Plaza in New York City.
But there’s also a vast stylistic difference between Leno, 62, and Fallon, who will be several months shy of his 40th birthday when he takes over “Tonight.”
In his two decades at NBC, Leno has consistently led the ratings -- mostly, his critics claim, by playing it safe with middle-of-the-road jokes and softball interviews. His monologue is heavy on the topical humor and Borscht Belt-style punch lines, and his most popular bits include “Jaywalking,” in which he quizzes clueless tourists on the streets of Los Angeles, and “Headlines,” a collection of unintentionally funny newspaper clippings submitted by viewers.
PHOTOS: Classic 'Tonight Show' moments
Fallon is from a younger generation of comedians who generally eschew the brand of found humor popularized by Leno, but he’s also not as brainy or eccentric as his “Late Night” predecessor Conan O’Brien. Instead his comedy, which relies heavily on a wide range of impressions, is both broadly accessible and well-primed to younger viewers' taste for pop culture mash-ups and memes. (e.g. "Neil Young sings 'Whip My Hair'").
In his four years at “Late Night,” Fallon has freshened up the genre, finding ways to be creative within a rigid format. Perhaps his biggest innovation is his use of music, which plays an essential role on “Late Night.” Backed by the Roots, arguably the best (and easily the coolest) house band in late night, Fallon does a wide range of comedic musical bits that frequently become online hits: Their version of “Call Me Maybe,” played on classroom instruments, was possibly even catchier than the original and has to date racked up more than 13 million views on YouTube.
Fallon also manages to get his celebrity guests to join in the fun: Just last week “The Voice” star Blake Shelton and “Parks & Recreation” actor Nick Offerman donned chicken suits to join him for an all-clucking version of the Lumineers hit, “Ho, Hey,” that quickly went viral.
GRAPHIC: Jimmy Fallon's musical moments
Like Leno -- and in stark contrast to David Letterman, who can be something of an attack dog -- Fallon tends to take a light touch with guests. He’s effusive with praise and tends to get uncomfortable bringing up delicate subjects. That and the earlier hour will make it easier for Fallon to enlist even bigger names when he starts booking guests.

Welcome to my website. I teach people from around the world how to play the shakuhachi and its beautiful forms of traditional music. It is my pleasure to offer lessons to students worldwide using Skype video chat. I invite you to try a complimentary one with me. Contact me and I will be happy to arrange it.
My focus is on the unique regional styles of solo honkyoku music which were mostly composed by the komuso monks during the Edo period. I also teach post Edo period styles which were created by such masters as Watazumi, Jin Nyodo, and Higuchi Taizan (Myoan/Meian). It is my humble task and a great joy to keep this music alive by passing it on to my students thus continuing the centuries old tradition of the shakuhachi. As my student you will learn these precious forms of music beginning with the Fudaiji honkyoku of the Seien ryu.
My book Your Shakuhachi Journey has also helped a great number of people with learning how to play this instrument. You will find many free instructional materials here as well such as my videos and guides. Please enjoy my site and I hope you find it to be informative! You can view my most recent youtube video below…
My shakuhachi bio
I started playing the shakuhachi in my teens. At age nineteen I was fortunate enough to be able to move to New York City to study it full-time. After years of intense study in the Jin Nyodo style I decided to learn the older honkyoku styles. I was able to begin studying these older styles with Justin Senryu Williams and now I teach them to my students worldwide over Skype. I am happy to have been able to pioneer the use of Japanese madake bamboo growing in The US for the making of shakuhachi. In addition, I’m the first person to copy a natural bamboo jinashi shakuhachi for the making of replicas. All of these experiences have rooted in me a great respect and love for bamboo and the shakuhachi. You can read my full bio here.

@ 03:22 am (GMT)
Arve RingsbyeFirst of all - Thank`s Nathan for a fantastic site, maybe the best I`ve been reading ww in search for my perfect rifle/caliber combination for medium game - with long range qualities.
I`ve been completing a rifle project lately. The rifle is an old Sako LR 61 AV, original chambered for the 300Wby, from the serial nr I asume its produced in between 1988-90, it`s stocked in laminated wood. I`ve got it rebarreled and rebedded (glass) from the a local gunsmith, with a Shilen match grade barrel 26" stainless steel in 270 Weaterby. I`ve also got a new floorplate and it`s scoped with Sako rings and a 2,5-10x50 Kahles Helia (Multizero ).
The rifle finished last year and I`ve been shooting Wea factory loads 150gr Hornady Interlock SP. So far I haven`t been able to do more practising than about 40 rounds. It looks like the rifle is pretty accurate gathering well under 1" at 100 m.
Last week i went deerhunting in the mountains and got a beautiful buck high up on a rock, facing directly towards me, the laser ranged 280m, I guessed the uphill angle to 20/30. I hit it where I aimed in the chest, bullet went out in his back, he was dead on spot.
My plan when putting together the rifle was to start reloading and I`ve bought a RCBS set with full lengt dies and also neck dies.
My question is which bullet to use 140gr Accubonds or 130 - 150gr B TSX?, and wether to full lengt size or neck size the brass?
I will be using Norma MRP or Vit N560 - fed 215 primers - and the prefired factory ammo brass.
I will be hunting for deer, elk and caribou - shoots
may be taken out to 500m - and I`m looking for the one best bullet for alround use.
@ 10:00 am (GMT)
Re: 270 Weatherby magnum - bullet choiseHi Arve, thanks, glad you are enjoying the site.
OK, regarding the 140 grain Accubond, it is a very violent, wide wounding projectile but can suffer at the extremes. When pushed at extremely high velocities and used at close ranges on heavy bodied deer, penetration can be poor and in many instances, excessive weight loss can be the result. On the other hand, as velocities fall below 2400fps, kills can be quite delayed. The 140 grain AB works very well in the .270's out to ordinary hunting ranges on light to mid weight deer.
As for the Barnes TSX, your post is very timely. I had an email from a reader in Alberta who shoots a .270Wby, concerned that I had not properly re-iterated or described how slow killing the Barnes TSX can be throughout the Knowledge base. The reader gave very carefully detailed information based on his own experiences with the TSX describing wounding, ranges etc. These results duplicated my own findings.
Throughout the knowledge base, I have endeavored to describe the strengths and weaknesses of the Barnes TSX but have perhaps been too kind, too subtle when when describing slow killing. The Barnes TSX is favored by a lot of hunters for low meat damage and in some states of the U.S, is one of the only options due to lead bans. However, I do have to re-iterate, this is a slow killing projectile in many instances.
In your .270Wby, the TSX can be made to work well on Elk at ranges where velocity remains above 2600fps and where the front shoulder bones and muscles are encountered as a means to promote fast expansion. But as a general all around projectile for a wide range of body weights at varying ranges with varying points of impact, the Barnes can be a slow killer. Barnes have recently released a line of long range hunting projectiles which are poorly conceived and poorly designed. These are not frangible projectiles and in the absence of high velocity (at long range), can only create a wound channel as wide as the expanded projectile which, in most instances, results in a 13mm / .5" internal wound. This is abysmal performance for long range hunting.
I would like you to start with the 150 grain Partition. Internal wounding will be identical to the results you saw last week (please start recording autopsies with a camera from here on in if possible). The Partition is every bit as violent as the Interlock and continues to produce this performance down to 1800fps, though expansion and wounding will still be very good on heavy deer at 1600fps. The .277 150 grain Partition produces excellent penetration on large bodied deer.
Use the MRP powder (for other readers- this duplicates H4831sc / ADI 2213SC). You might also like to purchase a pack of 150 grain Interlock projectiles as quite often, the two bullet designs will shoot to the same POI, the form and BC's are near identical You can then use the cheaper Interlock for varminting and long range plinking.
The Partition, particularly the projectile in question when utilized in either the Win or Weatherby, is extremely wide wounding (have a look at the 'what is long range hunting to you' post, I put a pic at the bottom of a 150 grain .277 Partition ham wound on a pig). Accuracy of the Partition is dependent on the inherent qualities of the rifle. If the Partition cannot be made to shoot, chances are that the Interlock won't shoot either. And if a rifle cannot shoot the Interlock, there is a big problem as these were very carefully designed to give optimum performance in every conceivable barrel configuration, taking bore tolerances and twist rates into consideration. You should hopefully find that you can get straight into good accuracy seeing as you have already had good results with the Interlock.
Whether to neck size or FL size is dependent on the reamer tolerences and had space tolerances. A generous dimensioned chamber reamer will allow for neck sizing. If the smith opted for generous head spacing, neck sizing will again be optimal. Personally, I prefer to have some slop when head spacing belted magnums and to let the brass flow to fit the chamber, then neck size thereafter for both ease of reloading operations and optimum bullet to bore concentricity.
Seeing as you have a neck die, start neck sizing and monitor chambering over successive reloads. If your hand loads become difficult to chamber, you will need to FL size. This does not necessarily mean you will have to FL size every time. Again, you can monitor this as you go along.
It is hard for me to say whether you have a tight or loose chamber, it will depend on the preferences of the smith. If I had to take a guess, the smith may have felt compelled to utilize tight head space dimensions for the custom build which might in turn require FL sizing with each load. But again, neck size your brass and see how you get on over successive reloads.
As an aside, a lot of smiths have had it drummed into them that tight head spacing is the key to optimum accuracy. This isn't really so and I have tested this using the M700 action, altering the recoil lug thickness and testing accordingly. In the case of your Sako, major variables would have been squaring the bolt face and bolt lugs to the bore along with the receiver threads. A good bore and good bedding, paying attention to critical points of relief are the other critical factors. From here on in, sound, basic hand loads, monitoring bore condition and good shooting technique will be primary factors.

Re: 270 Weatherby magnum - bullet choiseThank`s for your answers. The hunting season is ending here in Norway at christhmas and I`ll start preparing my first loads in january and also use the off season for practising. I will go for the partition and the interlocks as you advised. I think i have to save up for a chrono just because I would like this rifle and the ammo to be used to be perfect and ballistic tables to trust. No use in beeing able hitting right if the rifle wont and the ammo wont kill.
The two pictures is from a november hunt, alone in the mountains with my dog, same rifle, same ammo, range 320 m, also this shot in the chest.
Next season I will make documentary pictures from entry/damage/exit.
In the mean time I`ll be reloading and practising accuracy.
Best regards and a happy Crhristmas to you all.

Issue #21, November 1, 2022
Author: Stefan Jonasson
“This book is a love song for Iceland,” said Nancy Marie Brown about her new volume, Looking for the Hidden Folk: How Iceland’s Elves Can Save the Earth, during a webinar on the eve of its publication. She was presenting to a webinar hosted by the Icelandic National League of the United States on September 30. “The first time I went there, in 1986, it was like I had found a piece of myself that, even if I hadn’t quite lost it, it had been long supressed.” So, she first imagined that her latest book would be a collection of travel essays based on her journals, and it began to take shape back in 2009. But on her 21st trip to Iceland, she took a walk with an elf seer and that’s when, she says, “my collection of travel essays was hijacked by the elves.”
Nancy described a hike she took through a lava field with Ragnhildur Jónsdóttir, who was instrumental in protecting the field from destruction by a proposed road project. “We didn’t talk much about elves or the hidden folk,” she recalled. Instead, they photographed the rocks, listened to the wind and the birds, experienced some of Iceland’s famously variable weather, took in its distinctive smells, and observed its bountiful flora. “We talked about art and inspiration. Why do some places attract artists and spark creative thought? Why are some places beautiful? And how do you define beauty? And we shared an experience I still can’t explain.” As they left the lava field, Ragnhildur asked, “Now, do you believe in elves?”
Looking for the Hidden Folk is Nancy Marie Brown’s attempt to answer that question. “It’s a question that seemed to get harder to understand the more I tried.” She used to work as a science writer and, after offering a long list of ways she’s sought to understand the world, she acknowledged, “my quest took some unusual turns.”
“Believing in elves, I learned, is a lot like believing in quantum mechanics. It is a way of perceiving and valuing the world around us.” She came to realize that the travel essays she had been working on shared one theme: “Icelanders see nature in different ways than I had been taught to see it. In Iceland, where the geology and the weather patterns are as fantastic as anything Tolkien thought up, the imagination is set free, and the mind is urged to pay attention.”
Nancy felt more open to wonder and beauty while in Iceland because, “to the Icelanders that I met, the world around us, every rock and every hill, is inhabited – by elves, yes, but also by stories. Stories shape how you see the world; they determine not only how you think of elves, but how you think of real things, such as hills and mountains and volcanoes. The stories we tell protect a place or permit its destruction. That’s why it seems to me we make a critical mistake when we laugh off an Icelander’s belief in elves.”
“What immaterial beings are we allowed to believe in,” she asked, “and who is allowed to do the believing?” She noted that a 1974 survey of Icelanders revealed that one in 20 had seen an elf, while one-third of them were prepared to entertain the possibility of their existence; thirty-two years later, the percentage of people who reported seeing an elf was the same, but more than half of the people entertained the possibility of their existence.
She recalled experiencing Eyjafjallajökull as having been like a dragon. “When I say I saw a dragon, I’m speaking metaphorically. Elf-seer Ragnhildur Jónsdóttir is not. But the elf she sees may not look like any elf you might see. Elves have always been shapeshifters. … Throughout history and across cultures, elves can only be seen when they wish to be seen, and they can take on whatever shapes they like. Or perhaps what’s true about mountains is also true about elves: we see what we’ve been trained to see, what our education allows us to see.”
After a short journey through how the human understanding of elves and trolls changed from the time before the Christianization of Iceland to the present day, Nancy observed, “In our day, elves are not so much evil as trivial. Our world has been disenchanted. Everything can be understood by science, we think; everything can be tamed, even if we haven’t tamed it or understood it quite yet.” Although she’s never seen an elf or troll herself, she says she’s had several encounters with the supernatural while in Iceland. She described one experience of feeling eyes on her neck while crossing the highlands on horseback, which she describes at length in her book. She also recounted her experience of being drawn towards Snæfellsjökull, a feeling about certain mountains that she suspects in universal.
“Wonder is an emotion,” Nancy says, and it’s the source of religion and science and art, adding, “it’s wonder that is at the heart of looking for the hidden folk. We all tell stories; we always have. But we don’t always take responsibility for the effects of our storytelling. The purpose of a story is not to pass the time; the purpose of a story is to help you lead a good life. In looking for the hidden folk, I invite you to join in intimate conversation about how we look at and find value in nature. I hope to reveal how the words we use, and the stories we tell, shape the world we see. … Our beliefs about the earth will preserve or destroy it.”
And therein lies why she believes that Iceland’s elves can save the earth. “Climate change will lead to the mass extinction of species unless we humans change course. Iceland suggests a different way of thinking about the earth, one that to me offers hope. Icelanders believe in elves. And you should, too.”
A robust question and answer period followed Nancy’s presentation, which was hosted by Carrie Kozubal, and we will report on it in a future issue. Nancy Marie Brown’s Looking for the Hidden Folk: How Iceland’s Elves Can Save the Earth is published by Pegasus Books.

Caviar’s ability to command ridiculous prices is simply amazing! And now, a velvety buttery specific species of caviar is set to cost a jaw-dropping $113,630.
Of course, it is extremely rare and precious officially called Strottarga Bianco and dubbed “White Gold Caviar”. The caviar is derived from the Siberian Albino Sturgeon, raised at a tiny fish farm by Walter Grüll and his son in Salzburg, Austria.
Let’s delve into the details; once harvested, the fish eggs are dehydrated, before a finely grated layer of 22-karat edible gold leaf is sprinkled on it to make it even fancier (I mean how else can one justify the six-figure sum). It is then sold for 100,000 euros per kilogram (or $113,630), thereby earning it the title of the most expensive food product in the world.
A hefty five kilos of the product is processed to produce one kilo given its ability to dehydrate. According to the farm’s website, it takes eight to ten years to be ready to harvest.
Frankly, caviar has always been known to be extremely expensive, but this particular lot set a new benchmark.

Hastelloy C-2000 UNS N06200, Most flexible, consumption safe compound with superb imperviousness to uniform erosion in oxidizing or diminishing situations. Fabulous imperviousness to push erosion splitting and better resistance than limited consumption when contrasted with C-276 composite.
The nickel-chromium-molybdenum (Ni-Cr-Mo) C-sort composites have a long history of utilization in the Compound Process Industries and are known for their adaptability. Not just do they oppose all acids (particularly hydrochloric, sulfuric, and hydrofluoric) over huge temperature ranges, yet they additionally oppose the tricky sorts of assault prompted by chlorides and other halide arrangements, particularly setting, hole assault, and anxiety erosion splitting.
The specialized target amid the configuration of HASTELLOY® C-2000® alloy* was significantly more prominent flexibility, as contrasted and the customary Ni-Cr-Mo alloys. This was fulfilled by utilization of a high chromium content (23 wt. %), a high molybdenum content (16 wt. %), and a little yet successful expansion of copper (1.6 wt. %). The copper was found to give improved temperature ability in sulfuric, hydrofluoric, and hydrochloric acids.
Most versatile, corrosion resistant alloy with excellent resistance to uniform corrosion in oxidizing or reducing environments. Excellent resistance to stress corrosion cracking and superior resistance to localized corrosion as compared to C-276 alloy.
