Oops, we built too much
New York Times online contributor Timothy Egan reflects on the state of California's empire of foreclosure:
In places like Lathrop, Manteca and Tracy, population nearly doubled
in 10 years, and home prices tripled. After inhaling all this real
estate helium, some developers and their apologists in urban planning
circles hailed the boom as the new America at the far exurban fringe.
Every citizen a homeowner! Half-acre lots for all! No credit, no
Others saw it as the residential embodiment of the Edward Abbey line
that “growth for the sake of growth is the ideology of the cancer cell.”
Now median home prices have fallen from $500,000 to $150,000 — among
the most precipitous drops in the nation — and still the houses sit
empty, spooky and see-through, waiting on demography and psychology to
believes that we will eventually grow into our overbuilt housing stock.
But he also points to some valuable lessons we should take from this
One is that, at least here in California, the outlying cities
themselves encouraged the boom, spurred by the state’s broken tax
system. Hemmed in by property tax limitations, cities were compelled to
increase revenue by the easiest route: expanding urban boundaries. They
let developers plow up walnut groves and vineyards and places that were
supposed to be strawberry fields forever to pay for services demanded
by new school parents and park users.
Second, look at the cities with stable and recovering home markets.
On this coast, San Francisco, Portland, Seattle and San Diego come to
mind. All of these cities have fairly strict development codes, trying
to hem in their excess sprawl. Developers, many of them, hate these
restrictions. They said the coastal cities would eventually price the
middle class out, and start to empty.
It hasn’t happened. Just the opposite. The developers’ favorite role
models, the laissez faire free-for-alls — Las Vegas, the Phoenix metro
area, South Florida, this valley — are the most troubled, the suburban
Come see: this is what happens when money and market, alone, guide the way we live.

Sewale Belew – email@example.com
In the 1970s, Emperor Haile Selassie lost the Ethiopian public’s trust and was eventually killed by his soldiers who were trained to defend against the national enemy. Similarly, Colonel Mengistu Hailemariam lost the Ethiopian public trust, and thrown outside the country. At that moment, the public silently allowed the TPLF/EPRDF/ militants to march freely into the capital, Addis Ababa, without any public protests or resistance. The last and final battle between the Derg army and the TPLF militant forces was fought on the outskirts of Gondar. After that, in places like Gojam, Wolga, Showa, Arsi, Harar, Ilibabur, Gambella, Jima, Bale, and the like, where the TPLF forces were moving around freely, there was no skirmishes or organized resistance to halt them.
In due course of time, as the ruling party, TPLF was eventually deceived not only by the reaction of the general public and the dissatisfied youth, but also by the young cadres trained by the TPLF itself. These cadres were recruited and trained to serve the TPLF/EPRDF government. Among them were the rank and file members of OPDO, ANDM, the federal army and the federal security forces who suddenly turned their guns and their disloyalty on the TPLF (on their advisers, trainers and top officials). In general, until the real revolution broke out, no one knew who among the loyalists would support the TPLF leadership. Basically, the TPLF/EPRDF/ has not only lost public trust and support, but has been openly challenged and attacked by its own cadres. Among these senior cadres trained by the TPLF/EPRDF/ are now among the topnotch government officials.
As if history repeats itself, once again, amidst the currently ongoing chaos and narrow nationalist-led violence in most corners of Ethiopia, the Prosperity Party led regime has become more and more indifferent about unlawfulness and the reign of terror conducted by ethnic led combatants within different regions. So as the Prosperity Party is dancing at the gates of hell, who will stand with the PM Abiy and his Prosperity Party in the future? Time will tell.
What are the Core Problems at Stake with the Prosperity Party executives?
By name the previous OPDO and the current Prosperity Party pretends to be different from its creator – TPLF /EPRDF/. In practice, however, the Prosperity party continues to apply the TPLF crafted divisive and tribal constitution to maintain its power base. The tribal nepotism and the corruption against the law are on the zenith. Besides, many (if not most) Prosperity Party executives in Ethiopia are said to follow the Protestant church whose brand is tainted primarily by the massive slaughter of the Orthodox Christians and Islam follower dwellings’ in the farming rural communities of Wellega, where the protestant church following population is cynically in the majority.
Yet, the Prosperity Party affiliates that brag loud about having received the Bible and the Prosperity Gospel of neoliberalism are now absurdly indifferent and silent about the mass murders and eviction operations being committed by OLF-Shene and TPLF extremists’ joint efforts aimed at destabilizing peace and order in Ethiopia. These two well-paid domestic agents are working to accomplish the destabilization aims set by foreign conspirators including Egypt and the Western world. So they are determined and devoted to carry-out this mission with utmost dedication. The claim that the Prosperity Gospel enables them to deposit millions of dollars out of thin air into the bank account of congregates is perceived as pure con artist act of the protestant pastors. These tricks of the Prosperity Gospel end up on Tiktok platforms, making the actual doctrines as a laughing stock. The ethnic Amhara people living in farming communities who were evicted from their homesteads due to ethnic cleansing committed by OLF-extremists are in temporary makeshift shelters elsewhere and yet, they are said to be in a state of despair. It is now open secret and public knowledge that the Oromo narrow nationalist army within Oromia and neighboring regions has enablers in the regional and federal levels of the Prosperity Party’s government structures.
Orthodox believers and Muslims living in Wollega and other Oromia parts, as well as people living in the rest of Ethiopia, are seeing the true color of this racist Oromo group’s intents and hidden agendas; especially that of the Pentecostal Protestants, and the influence of Western Christianity. Protestant followers who preach to turn the other cheek when your first cheek is struck are now indifferent to the carnage and mass killing happening within Oromia region. It has been observed that these Protestant Christians, who were primarily peaceful and God-loving, are no longer peace-loving. Instead, they have aligned themselves with the Oromo Liberation Army (OLA) terrorist groups. Now they are accused of being a part of Christianity that does not care about the killing of children and innocent people. In fact, the Pentecostal Protestant church and faith is being destroyed by some money mongering pastors. The image of falsehood and deception spoken in the name of God greatly changed the orthodoxy of Bible teaching. This trend, especially the trend followed by a few Pentecostal pastors, and their wrongly preached approach, is becoming difficult to stop.
PM Abby himself seems to be associated with spiritual enlightenment, freedom from suffering, desire and selflessness. It somehow helps the reality on the ground. But at a time when the country is undergoing genocide organized by tribal extremists, he puts himself on the positive side by building palaces, gardens, resorts, cities and highways. Currently, the rise and fall of the TPLF has proven one thing. A good example of this is the collapse of the TPLF regime in 2018. In other words, the people of Ethiopia are saving their energy, waiting for the right moment when a revolution will explode like a volcano.
As the political tensions continue to rise in due course of time, Prime Minister Abiy has also begun to realize that he too is on the verge of losing public support especially among Tigray, Amhara, Gurage, Orthodox believers, the majority of people living in the Oromia region and the residents of Addis Ababa. Recently, he has gone to the extent of labelling the Amhara opposition activists as “Amhara-Shene” simply to legitimize his claim that OLF-Shene and TPLF are not the only opposition groups opposed to his government stand.(1) Just as PM Meles Zenawi legitimized the corruption done by the TPLF/EPRDF government officials during his premiership, as action taken by business smart individuals, so also PM Abiy legitimized the currently ongoing corruption among his regime’s rank and file officials by asking them to be smart enough and opt to invest the stolen millions on introducing the implementation of industries instead, so that opportunities for employment and productivity can increase in future (2).
Until the TPLF stayed on power, the TPLF-military generals used to sell smuggled goods (such as tiers imported without paying duty) brought in official military vehicles. Actually, these TPLF-generals and other high ranking government officials were looting commercial banks, development banks and other financial institutions throughout TPLF’s stay on power. In fact, TPLF was constantly creating economic corruption by using illicit trading as a major source of collecting funds for its military might. As the trading environment was distorted, most TPLF generals and other high officials took large amounts of loans (without meeting the required criteria and conditions). Hand-picked individuals were employed by their illegal chain and created relationships with other individuals who benefited from illegal trade. Meanwhile, citizens who were doing business legally were denied loans and pressured not to improve their business.
The economic exploitation of the TPLF by secretly storing illicit goods for further trade on illegal markets was one aspect, in which, it mercilessly opened the market for dangerous exploitation that enabled it to determine the national price and control the trade line as a whole. For this task, TPLF deployed its own people in the tax payment system and promoted it, by taxing heavily those businessmen doing business legally, forcing them out of the market, and instead, allowing TPLF’s own organized illicit marketers and their supporters to trade and live freely; while harming the country’s economy without paying any taxes.
On the other hand, in all commercial border points (checkpoints) of the country, by assigning only TPLF-members who have returned from the army, and by having them control the checkpoints, by allowing entities working together with the TPLF-task group’s illegal trade and smuggling to import and export goods without paying excise taxes. Tragically, citizens who were working in the legal business chain were deliberately put out of competition by TPLF insiders, who would make them go out and go bankrupt. Particularly, TPLF’s military generals used to sell smuggled goods such as rubber that were imported without paying duty, by publically loading goods on military vehicles and transporting to market-places. This was a trade venture in contraband, in which senior military officers and senior TPLF-politicians were jointly involved.
Overall, it can be observed that the Prosperity Party is lying on a bed of nails, relying on the “us and them” view of moving toward ethnically divided Ethiopia. Sad enough, Ethiopia is being led down the road to Armageddon. But before Ethiopia advances far into Armageddon, is it possible to bring about a change beyond this situation? Yes, the Prosperity Party must overcome collective ethnic consciousness, armed struggle and the constant blaming of the Amhara. The episodes that have been shown so far confirm the surprising and mysterious acts of violence in Oromia, especially in the Wellega and Benishangul regions, which were sparked by the power struggle between the OLF and the Prosperity Party.
OLF-Shene and the local government officials who secretly support OLF’s mission, vision and purpose of taking over power have opened fire on innocent Amhara people and caused millions of dollars in damage to the country and to the Amhara communities, leaving almost 50,000 Amhara families without any means of daily life. While the criminals and their hidden intentions are a mystery to the law enforcement agencies, the Amhara community will not be fooled by the ethnic-based liberal political entrepreneurship that is being conducted intentionally by confusing and convincing (persuading) the people with this political entrepreneurship strategic plan and practical activities on the ground. The main aims of the ethnic-based Prosperity Party have been consistently opposed by the citizens of Ethiopia because the violence against the Amhara communities in Oromia and Benshangul is still actively being committed. persistently At the same time, the OLF-Shene narrow nationalist groups and the Prosperity Party regime have openly entered into skirmishes that have resulted in mass shootings and massacres of innocent citizens in Ethiopia.
I fear that war remains the logical terminus of the Prosperity Party-authorities’ collective human consciousness. Indeed, war is sacred, indicating the hell the country has been in the process of wreaking Amhara communities in the country. Providing lip-service the Prosperity Party-executives throw a bit of Gospel into their cold war on evil stating: “Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.”
Such abusive exploitation of religion to bless ethnic violence covered the reality of the war’s hideous destructiveness with a sacred sheen. But perhaps even worse than the Prosperity Party’s and OLF-Shene’s wars’ pseudo-sacredness is their normalcy and cold-bloodedness to the atrocities against the Amhara is their sense of vengeance. These cruel operations are conducted with indifference and costing the nation millions of dollars’ budget that the Prosperity Party’s-administration tosses at the Parliament every year without any fail or default. And the total monetary costs push-up, over and again yearly, bestowing for instance, the military arsenal, ready to deliver destruction on command. To date, short of Armageddon, TPLF and OLF combatants are armed terrorists, equipped themselves with hate-spewing agents, ready and passionately willing to kill any other ethnic group members within Oromia Region and its vicinities. These two combatants consider particularly the Amhara as the main enemy to be squashed or evicted. So they hunt and kill them not only in rural areas or in smaller rural towns, but also those traveling on public transport along the main highways leading toward Addis Ababa, the capital city.
Are we able to realize what they mean when we hear preaching about ethically and morally loaded Biblical terms like: “Understand, love, heal . . . and the like? Do we ever provide the necessary time space and a budget to implement these thoughts into the minds of the youth? Not good enough as the situation on the ground exhibits. Instead, the main mission of TPLF, OLF Shene and all other ethnically narrow nationalist activists and those of Ethiopia’s cruel foreign enemies is to spread hate, terror, shed innocent blood, create fear, disrupt progressive activities, destroy local infrastructure/ and food crops, and eventually leave Ethiopia in endless turmoil and chaotic situations with the aim to bringing Ethiopia to its knee and forcing the nation to surrender to its main foreign and domestically organized destructive agendas on hold , with the plan to rob it of its natural resources. At the end of the day, only the enemy will benefit from the internal violence and destruction that is happening in Ethiopia. Mainly Egypt, Westerners and internal enemies who compete for power, will dominate Ethiopia by creating such a destructive mission. Otherwise, they attempt to assign a loyal government of their desire and choice upon the shoulders of the Ethiopian people.
Therefore, if the government wants to sustain its stay on power, then it is time for the Prosperity Party officials to pay attention to the issues of ethnically-directed mass-massacre against the Amhara communities. Rather than roving around and busying themselves with cutting the opening rivulets at various events, government officials should prioritize to preserve the national peace and orderliness as well as prevent innocent human necks from being cut by domestic terrorists who are bent on creating havoc and mayhem in rural communities. Amidst the ongoing mayhems, the reality on the ground proves that the Prosperity Party officials still continue to plausibly play unlimited roles and exert their “confuse and convince” strategic entrepreneurial influence upon the Ethiopian society by intentionally throwing provocative political terms periodically and steering yet additional confusion and chaos in the country.
Initially, between the 1980s and 2016, TPLF/EPRDF executives were hand-picked, groomed and recruited by its leadership executives. These officers were basically tasked as TPLF’s security agents whose loyalty was tested and proven by their enthusiasm to carry out the TPLF’s main missions to combat any and all opposition forces within and outside Ethiopia. Currently, the atrocities committed against the poor Amhara dwellings, the turmoil in several rural communities and towns and the overall inhuman banditry activities the happen throughout Ethiopia and the surroundings of Addis Ababa, the capital city, evolve around the bloodthirsty monstrous, heartless, diabolical, TPLF and OLF narrow nationalist feuds and that of the current clandestine operations of the Prosperity Party executives and their deputies.
The current Prosperity Party officials were actually baptized in the long past by TPLF itself, trained and assigned to purposely commit inept and ethnocentric administration structure throughout Ethiopia. A case proving this is the current regime’s deceptive defense to continue carrying out the TPLF-coined and implemented constitution further. For instance, the recent ethnic-led actions taken by the National Bank of Ethiopia to ethnically rationalize employment procedures regardless of qualification; and the recent uttering by the Mayor of Addis Ababa office and that of the Addis Ababa schools Administration, forcing schools and students to adopt ethnic-led national anthems to which the Addis Ababa residents resisted to accept are cases worth mentioning here. With the ongoing ethnic-based atrocities strategically planned and implemented consistently to confuse and convince the public to adhere to the regime’s clandestine intents and to the soft and sour-sweet-spoken satanic officials’ political stand have done grave harm to the Ethiopian society at large and to the Amhara communities in particular. So, since the reign of TPLF and now under the Prosperity Party regime’s ethnic-led governance, death has widely reigned and human life became defiled! (ሞት ነገሰ፤ ህይወት ረከሰ!)
Especially, during the TPLF leaderships in the past, INSA officers had practiced in the most agonizing torturing methods like: removing limbs, cutting fingers and genitalia, holding bottles filled with water on a ball, pulling nails with pliers, electrocution, placing body on hot iron surfaces, showering victims with simmering oil, and sodomizing detainees held in the detention centers.
With TPLF’s direct order, and currently under this Prosperity Party’s command, the Amhara voices had been silenced, and all state owned media outlets have been engaged in suffocating and controlling the truth about what is happenings in the country. Under the mask of “Ethiopia! Ethiopia! uproar” the Prosperity Party has been introducing its politically geared entrepreneurial political strategy while at the same time party officials collectively remain totally silent when atrocities are committed by OLF- and TPLF insurgents in several parts of Ethiopia.
Just as it was happening during the TPLF-regime, when it was on power, so also the current state owned media is spreading malice and hateful propaganda against the Amhara population by branding it as Amhara shene (Or the fifth columnist Amhara Extremists). Besides, many citizens exposing the injustice against the Amhara people have been regularly and repeatedly hunted and thrown into jail by the order of the Prosperity Party’s intelligence Institution officials illegally. To date, the same repressive rules of TPLF are perpetuated by creating premeditated chaos, confusion and attempts for convincing the public erroneously. Far beyond the past four years, the Amhara communities remain fully subjected to a slow and painful path of total annihilation. For half a century now, the burden that the Amhara communities have been burdened are becoming heavy and cumbersome. The suffocation and subjugation system employed by the regime has been so severely agonizing and excessively harsh to bear. The Amhara publics’ collective emotion has been traumatized by frustration and furiousness.
The ongoing unlawful actions against the Amhara population are too violently unfolding and unforgiving. Today, in every Amhara household, there is a sense of loss and grief, which is greatly overwhelming. It is so horrific and very heavy to bear. The rural Amhara communities everywhere in the country and especially in the central, northern, southern, and western regions of Ethiopia have never had peaceful day or night in their livelihoods. Every morning, people in most rural communities’ wake-up filled with sadness and sorrow, fearing for the safety of their children and their own family members.
Neither the previous TPLF/EPRDF regime, nor the current Prosperity Party administration have paid any tangible attention for protecting the Ethiopian citizens’ peace and orderliness – especially those of the poor Amhara communities and households settled within the Oromia region. Despite the fact that the Amhara population’s tolerance against the constant chaos and sincere respect for the law, aspirations for peace, unity and love for Ethiopia as a solidified country, the continuous provocations committed against the poor Amhara farming communities still continue unabated with high elevation and organized atrocious attempts. As legitimate citizens of Ethiopia, the Amhara people’s tolerance and willingness to abide to the national law is totally ignored and taken as a sign of fear, trauma and frustration. In the process, millions of Amhara lives have disappeared, and millions more were displaced from their habitation sites.
Right now, the Amhara population must learn from their past and present mistakes and choose the uncomfortable alternatives available to them in order to save their human dignity and worthiness by raising arms and fighting back the TPLF /EPRDF/ extended tribally organized current government on all fronts for the sake of maintaining justice and lawfulness by equal force. By standing up and fighting back the enemy, they have nothing to lose but their chains. Weather one likes it or not, the inevitability of death and destruction are always hovering over everyone’s head in every corners of Ethiopia. The only alternative that remains at hand for the young Amhara youth is to put down their books momentarily and to pick up the gun and fight back with the enemy on equal footing. Then and only then can the Amhara communities stop the ongoing organized campaign of narrow nationalist terrors of havoc. Ultimately, the Amhara population must stop the ceaseless hum and Weil which won’t be a solution to their prevailing chaotic living conditions. If the Amhara people don’t stop the ongoing dehumanization and genocidal actions, the terror projected in clandestine against its mere existence will persist indefinitely until the Amhara is weakened, destroyed completely, or till the ‘demise’ of the whole Amara population. This is the naked fact that our enemies have designed for the Amhara community.
So, what the Amhara people haven’t been able to overcome thus far will eventually overcome them to their mere survival. The choice is for the Amhara population, and they have to stand up and act. The cost of doing nothing so far has affected negatively. It is so naive to ask permission about one’s own aggressor to grant the Amhara its defense for them. How can the Amhara population keep on asking a regime that has already shown its indifferent attitude to save their lives? How can the already targeted Amhara population who is taken as a scapegoat for ethnic-led bigotry and ethnic cleansing missions plead for defending law and order?
The Amhara community should reconvene all what TPLF, OLF, and now the Prosperity Party’s regime have persistently done so far for over three decades. Since he saddled to power in 2018, PM Abiy Ahmed in person and his Prosperity Party as well, have chosen not to utter words about the killings and eviction actions against the Amhara ethnic group without meanness. In fact, as of his recent public speech, PM Abiy has displayed sadistic, and sardonic mixes of mockery with intentions to annihilate the Amhara community by labelling the Amhara peaceful opposition activists as the “Amhara-Shene”. This to me is a sign of mockery to legitimize his claim that OLF-Shene and TPLF are not the only opposition groups opposed to his government’s stand. In reality there is no so called Amhara Shene group. (1)
Actually, what takes the Amhara community so long to react for its rights?
The genocidal attacks and evictions against the Amhara people lingered dogmatically over half a century now. Failure of the Amhara community to get properly organize and precisely address the conditions under which it subsists its daily livelihoods and act upon the ongoing genocidal attacks and evictions imposed on its communities need to be properly addressed and analyzed. One has to examine the subjective impacts of the atrocities committed against innocent citizens of the Amhara ethnic origin thus far; as well as the current ethnic-based socio-political developments in the country, and the future consequences affecting the fate of the Amhara population in particular.
The way forward
In order to stop the tribal-regime and win the half a century dehumanization campaign conducted against the Amhara population and its communities, first, as an exposed people the Amhara community must declare a total war against its number one enemy BEADEN, (ብአዴን), an affiliate group with the Prosperity Party, and that collaborates with any and all types of heinous actions committed by the current regime in power. However, if the Amhara population doesn’t follow this recommendation, slowly and gradually it will invite its own inevitable demise once and forever. Such suggestions have been floating in the Ethiopian political stages for many years ever since the PM Meles Zenawi’s TPLF/EPRDF regime was still in power from 1990 onwards.
So, it is time that the Amhara population considers plans to forge a united Amhara front for its struggle. It should come up with a shared vision to overcome the unsettled problems and challenges facing the community. It has to consider how to shape its destiny as a population with dignity and pride. Unless the systemic meddling of foreign powers and their domestically stimulating ethnic led narrow nationalists in Ethiopia are quashed the ongoing turmoil and the ravaging ethnic-led conflicts in several parts of Ethiopia will impact further divisions and destruction to the mere existence of the country.
The Prosperity Party executives’ persisting contentment of choosing silence about the Amhara killings and evictions and the Party’s continued camaraderie to TPLF-leadership circle and embracing the divisive Orommuma ideology of the OLF-combatant forces, has now costed thousands of innocent Amhara peoples’ communities and their cultural livelihoods, limbs, legs and precious lives. It seems, instead of working to halt the chaos and bring peace and freedom of citizens’ movement and living status in areas of their choices, PM Abiy Ahmed and his Prosperity Party are relentlessly working towards their set goals of worsening the tension in the country by picking political parameters periodically and arousing continuously public unrest among citizens. For as long as PM Abiy Ahmed’s and his Prosperity Party officials’ rhetoric continue opposing against the Amhara people for every conceivable social and political problems, the political situation in Ethiopia will further escalate to intensified ethnic conflicts. That means, with this opposition intent set by the Prosperity Party in progress, the Amhara community’s as well as those of the other ethnic groups’ quest for peace, harmony, and for collective security throughout Ethiopia will never be accomplished. In reality the Prosperity Party is simply change of name of TPLF/EPRDF on the surface, but conducting the same divide and rule tactics surgically implanted among ethnic groups in Ethiopia. That means, the current regime is an extension of the TPLF/EPRDF regime.
As political tensions and chaos worsens by each day, the end to tolerance and silence by the majority of the Ethiopian public is immediate. The silent majority of the Amhara people are becoming more and more triggered to wagging the war of Armageddon with their vanguard God at the front, against the evil empires who support and fund the proxy terrorists and savage pagans run by the monstrous enemies of Ethiopia. Certainly, the malicious power of all the domestic and foreign enemies will be defeated once and forever. Upon victory, it won’t be remembered and I rely on the new radical twinkling of the Amhara youth that Ethiopia will emerge with its symbol of Green, Yellow and Red flag, covering the skies of the earth once and forever, declaring the rhythm of victory and peace. Then, and only then, there will be peace and no more war nor cry among citizens of Ethiopia.
In the true sense of it, Ethiopian citizenship, equality, harmony, and live will shine and settle forever among Ethiopia’s diversified folk. Let this noble idea reach decent silent majority peoples of Ethiopia and the global human community at large, and to those conscientious world leaders and sensible individuals, who usually pay attention to the Weil of the ongoing Amhara people’s genocidal verdict, which is declared upon them by their domestically organized enemies.

Censor ratings ruin Ragini’s birthday?KAVYA CHRISTOPHER | TNN | May 24, 2013, 12.00 AM IST
Kannada actress Ragini Dwivedi may have hoped to watch her first woman-oriented film with the audience on her birthday today, but the censor board's rating has put her in a quandary.
Ragini IPS, which was launched on the actresses' birthday last year, was passed with a U/A certificate — which was not what the team was looking for. "I want a U certificate for my film, because a lot of my audience includes women and children. I cannot have a release with a rating that will make people think twice about walking into the theatre with their children or family," says Ragini.
With a few cuts and digital work yet to be incorporated, the film is now pushed by at least two months. Meanwhile, Ragini says, "I have a few other signings that I am not at the liberty to speak about as of now."
The actress is looking forward to a day of celebration with family, friends and fans today.

We need to take back our data.
Bruce Schneier writes in a commentary on Wired that we have become intimately bound with our data in the information age. The bits of information about us that are collected and stored in hundreds, even thousands of different spots around the globe determine whether we can get a job, obtain health insurance, have a loan approved, even board an airplane or enter a foreign country.
We leave a data trail wherever we go: when we use a discount card at the supermarket; when we log on to the Internet through our ISP; when we pick up a cell phone call. Each bit and byte has the potential to affect our future, yet we have no control over who handles it, who gains access to it, even whether we can have a look at it ourselves.
Schneier believes that we must have a comprehensive new data privacy law:
This law should protect all information about us, and not be limited merely to financial or health information. It should limit others’ ability to buy and sell our information without our knowledge and consent. It should allow us to see information about us held by others, and correct any inaccuracies we find. It should prevent the government from going after our information without judicial oversight. It should enforce data deletion, and limit data collection, where necessary. And we need more than token penalties for deliberate violations.
Schneier admits that the task is difficult. Corporations and the law enforcement lobby would prefer to see the individual left powerless in the face of this onslaught against privacy and personal freedom.
We advocate a dual approach. Sure, lobby your Congressperson. Push your favorite Presidential candidate to commit to protecting data rights. Dick Durbin is currently holding hearings in the Senate focused on U. S. companies like Cisco that have helped China and other nations oppress their people. Legislation to prohibit this cozy state/corporate alliance against the individual is contemplated; some has even been introduced in the House . But it is not expected to apply to the United States. Tell Durbin that the privacy rights of Americans are worth protecting too.
But don’t depend on the politicians to come up with anything anytime soon. Begin to change your habits to better protect your data and yourself.
Encrypt your email and use neutral subject headings. Use VPN for browsing to lockout ISP spying. I hear that free vpn trial is a great place to start if you are unsure you want to commit money to one yet, if you’re looking to find a VPN for a specific location, that’s possible too, such as this best Canada vpn. Use cash rather than credit and debit cards. Carefully read privacy provisions before signing anything from a cell phone contract to a medical release to a loan application. Refuse to sign if you and your data are getting screwed. What today is dictated by corporate convenience and greed can be changed if enough of us refuse to go along. You might use a VPN to encrypt your web traffic if you absolutely need to sign in to any of the applications that you suspect will use your personal data. However, make sure to read enough reviews including the likes of norton vpn reviews, so that you’ve an idea about which VPN might work well for you. If you’re not sure where to start looking for the best VPN, you could make use of a VPN Review website such as TheVPNExperts to compare and analyse what works well for you.
Schneier is right:
It’s easy to do nothing and let the market take over. But as we see with things like grocery store club cards and click-through privacy policies on websites, most people either don’t realize the extent their privacy is being violated or don’t have any real choice. And businesses, of course, are more than happy to collect, buy, and sell our most intimate information. But the long-term effects of this on society are toxic; we give up control of ourselves.
Let’s not let that happen.

BRISTOL – Bristol Public Library will hold a program on August 10 to showcase its new Glowforge machine, which can perform woodcuts and make intricate engravings from photos.
The library at 5 High St. added the Glowforge to its computer lab, which also houses a 3D printer, last December. On Wednesday, August 10 from 2-3 p.m., Seth Ramos, Computer Lab Supervisor, will walk visitors through how to use the machine and allow them to create their own projects.
“The Glowforge is a really user-friendly desktop laser cutter for hobbyists to use,” Ramos said. “We have used it for several projects for patrons. It has a 40 watt laser and can cut up to two inches of wood for wood carving. It can also engrave images and fonts for word art. We have these beautiful maple wood 4×4 cutouts that people can use to engrave photos of their loved ones, family members, and pets.
Ramos said it takes the Glowforge machine about 10 to 15 minutes to complete an engraving. People are encouraged to pre-register for this program, but Ramos said people are encouraged to continue using the machine during the rest of the library’s opening hours.
“We’ll start by talking about the machine and how it works,” Ramos said. “If there’s a long line, I’ll be in the library all day, we can make sure we get to your project. We can also set up a 1-on-1 session to work with the machine. »
The library will provide wood for people to use for the program. Ramos said any unfinished wood is an ideal material for the Glowforge machine.
“There are just certain materials, like plastic, that we can’t use because of the fumes,” he said.
Ramos said he was the only one allowed to touch the Glowforge machine at the library. However, he said, people can email him “SVG” files, at [email protected], which the machine can interpret to make engravings.
To register, visit bristollib.com or call Ramos at 860-584-7787, EXT. 2030.
Brian M. Johnson can be reached at 860-973-1806 or [email protected]


steve, from what I got, it is not your fuel pump but the filter module unscrewing itself. Check on this forum for a way of fixing it. The description is for a ZTT but should essentially be the same. Here are some more instructions "Petrol pump and the filter are both located in the tank. Pump is underneath RHS rear seat. Filter under the LHS rear seat. When ignition is switched on, you should hear pump hum for 2-3 seconds. If so, lack of fuel at engine will probably be why it won't start. As described by Tatts, this is due to filter case unscrewing and releasing pump pressure. It's a design fault caused by the pipework pushing on the casing. It's very common problem and can be fixed using the 'Orange Clip' gizmo (available from Rimmer Bros at some silly price or other. Sometimes on eBay. If it turns out to be this, here's some pics from my own repair job.
Remove rear seat cushion. Remove three screws and remove access panel on LHS floor. White plastic cap of filter is underneath. Petrol pipe to engine is attached to cap with green self-sealing clip. Press lugs together and pull pipe out.
The steel strip is a removal tool I made so you can use a spanner rather than a hammer and chisel. Pull the filter unit as far out of the tank as it will come without messing with the float and pipework underneath it. There's a thick rubber gasket around neck of tank, not visible here. The end cap is screwed onto the body bayonet fashion. The join is just above the steel band. The cap is sealed with a large thin O-ring that fits on a shoulder on the cap. Mine was distorted so I had to fit new. Only available as a filter element kit costing around £45. Here's the cap and O-ring (not in position here). Central spiggot has small O-ring to seal the cartridge. Bottom of case has similar spiggot. Sorry don't have picture of the orange clip, but it will only fit in one place. That's directly under the outlet pipe connection on the end cap. It goes across the join and stops the case unscrewing. Refit filter in tank, but first ensure rubber gasket is seated all around tank neck before lowering filter (important or it will leak). Replace metal sealing ring with correct torque of 28ft.lbs/35Nm." There is more of this on here The "clip to hold the filter housing together is available here. Hope this helps to get you going again until I get the service manual posted. Good Luck.
Okay, so now you can download the complete service manual for your MG right here. It is in electronic format and comes as an ISO. All you have to do is either mount it to your computer or burn it to CD. I double checked it for functionality and it does have all the information that you need. It is a 700mb file and will take awhile to download :-) good luck.


Celebrating 25 years of his brainchild the world-wide-web – Tim Berners-Lee called for the creation of a Magna Carta of the internet to protect the openness and freedom it gives.
On hearing this I had a classic cartoon moment. Two versions of me one on each shoulder – the optimist and the cynic.
The optimist was the first to react. He said.
“The genie is out the bottle now. It has grown too big for the state to get any control over. What is more, people have grown used to the freedom now – they will not let it be taken back from them lightly.”
The cynic laughed.
“Don’t you believe it. It will be put back in the bottle trust me. And the people will demand it. Just you wait and see! All it will take are a few well-planned attacks. A few high-profile cyber hack or breaches that instil enough fear. Maybe a bank will lose all of its customer’s money overnight? Millions of people suddenly poor and with no recourse! Pile on a few power grid shutdowns, a few deaths in hospitals due to hacking attacks, a few high profile identity thefts resulting in wrongful arrests and the fear factor will be ratcheted up. A campaign by the Daily Mail and then the vocal minority will be hollering for the government to take control.
“And lo and behold – they will have this law – just laying in the drawer – ready to react.
“Have the last twenty years taught us nothing. Every riot, every murder, every terrorist attack was followed a few weeks later with a new law passed to ‘tackle the threat’. Did we really believe that could write new laws that quick?
“Just watch, bit by bit, horror by horror, they will get us to demand they make us safe and sound – and controlled”
I fear the cynic is correct. Lets us see.

Co based catalyst were evaluated for oxygen reduction (ORR) in liquid KOH and alkaline anion exchange membrane fuel cells (AAEMFCs). In liquid KOH solution the catalyst exhibited good performance with an onset potential 120 mV more negative than platinum and a Tafel slope of ca. 120 mV dec(-1). The hydrogen peroxide generated, increased from 5 to 50% as the electrode potential decreased from 175 to -300 mV vs. SHE. In an AAEMFC environment, one catalyst (GP2) showed promising performance for ORR, i.e. at 50 mA cm(-2) the differences in cell potential between the stable performance for platinum (more positive) and cobalt cathodes with air and oxygen, were only 45 and 67 mV respectively. The second catalyst (GP4) achieved the same stable power density as with platinum, of 200 and 145 mW cm(-2), with air at 1 bar (gauge) pressure and air (atm) cathode feed (60 degrees C), respectively. However the efficiency was lower (i.e. cell voltage was lower) i.e. 40% in comparison to platinum 47.5%. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Leicester manager Claude Puel insists his players can celebrate any goals against Burnley how they wish in tribute to Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha despite risk of sanctions
- Claude Puel says Leicester players can celebrate how they wish against Burnley
- Demarai Gray was booked for his tribute to Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha
- Leicester to pay tribute to Srivaddhanaprabha in first home game since his death
Leicester players have been given permission by Claude Puel to celebrate any goals against Burnley however they wish despite the risk of sanction from referee Mike Dean.
Demarai Gray was booked by Lee Probert for removing his shirt to reveal a message in support of Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha in last week's win at Cardiff, a decision that provoked fierce debate on social media.
Stirring scenes are expected again at the King Power Stadium for the first home game since Srivaddhanaprabha's helicopter crashed a fortnight ago, claiming the lives of all five on board.
Demarai Gray was booked for removing his shirt to show a message in support of Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha in Leicester's win against Cardiff last weekend
A number of tributes to the Leicester chairman are planned - included specially-embroidered shirts, a 20,000-strong fans walk from the city centre, and a video montage - but Puel accepted the emotion of scoring for grieving players could prompt further outpouring, and by consequence rule-breaking.
Dean is expected to follow the same procedure as his colleague Probert should a Leicester player take off his jersey, with referee authority the PGMOL privately insisting that exceptions to the regulation cannot be made.
'The gesture of Demarai when he scored was fantastic and it was the emotion without thinking,' said Puel. 'He was happy for his chairman. It was the right reflex and the referee's decision is a normal thing.
Leicester manager Claude Puel insists his players are free to celebrate how they wish
Leicester are set to pay tribute to Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha when they face Burnley
'It is the rules. We can't make a difference. We need to accept this and we have no problem about this. We don't have regrets about this at all.
'When a player scores a goal it is a big emotion for himself. Here it was a big emotion for him and for all the team and all the squad. I'm am happy about this gesture and I have no problem with this again.'
Sportsmail understands that Manchester City spoke to the Premier League ahead of facing Tottenham at Wembley that day after Srivaddhanaprabha died, as Riyad Mahrez wanted to make a similar gesture should he happen to score.
City were informed the rules would not be bent so Mahrez instead wore a t-shirt of support for the Thai businessman during the warm-up and after getting his goal in the sixth minute pointed to the skies without taking off his top.

We stayed here for the start of our coast to coast walk. Probably been a lovely building in the past, but currently in need of repairs. It’s situated on a busy roundabout, but close to the beach which is down a steep hill. Friendly lady on reception. Rooms were adequate in size, and we all slept well in the beds.. however one of the rooms had a drain smell which was awful. We had a blue light under the sink unit in the bathroom which needed switching off as it constantly flashed on/off. No plug sockets at side of bed, however found 2 in the open wardrobe unit. Rooms were clean as was bedding.
The rear of the building is disgusting, weeds and rubbish everywhere. Breakfast was offered as small or large, by a friendly member of staff. The full English was ok, but the rest of us had scrambled eggs on toast which was tasteless and the toast was more of a soggy bread. The eggs were the palest eggs I have ever seen, no evidence of a yolk!
The noise from the bar downstairs was as you would expect and from the smokers at the back of the building too, but this quieter after 11pm. There was a party in the function room on the same floor as the bedrooms which you could hear constantly.
Overall I wouldn’t recommend staying here. It’s more expensive than a travel lodge etc at £50.00 per room then extra for breakfast. The place needs some attention and if it did, it could be a great place to stay!!

F4WOnline.com is reporting that the current plan for the angle between former World Heavyweight Champion Daniel Bryan and star of the FX series, “Anger Management”, Charlie Sheen will not culminate in an actual match between the two unlikely rivals. WWE is planning a physical angle for SummerSlam that will see some sort of physicality between Sheen and Bryan with Sheen slapping Bryan or throwing a drink on Bryan or something along those lines. It’s been said that the SummerSlam angle may just be the first stage of the angle that could continue into the fall and one of the rumors going around is that it could possibly end at Survivor Series with Charlie Sheen selecting five Superstars to face Daniel Bryan and four hand-picked Superstars to take part in a Traditional 5-on-5 Survivor Series Elimination Tag Match. The whole angle is being done to help the WWE get some big media attention and to get Sheen’s show, Anger Management, to appeal to the WWE fan base.

Such an aim is analytical for Jeep’s success in Europe, area accessible EU regulations set a fleet-wide boilerplate discharge ambition of 95g of CO2 per kilometre from 2021. That corresponds with ammunition burning of 4.1L/100km.

It’s not accepted what belvedere the babyish Jeep will use. It’s absurd to be the accepted belvedere basement the A-segment Fiat Panda and 500 as it’s about old abundant to vote, dating aback to 2003.
PSA and FCA’s alliance hasn’t gone through yet so it’s absurd Jeep would be able to get admission to PSA’s EMP belvedere in time for a 2022 artefact launch.
That leaves the accessible 500’s belvedere as a possibility. The abutting 500 will be all-electric but if its belvedere supports both electrified and ICE drivetrains, it’s a analytic base for a babyish Jeep with alternative electrification.

Air Formation's shoegazer-esque grace radiates throughout their nine-song sophomore effort. From the opening chords of the light opening track, "Take It Easy," to the dreamy, closing title track, the band puts a new spin on the international space rock sound. As the follow-up to their self-titled debut, layered guitars swarm around the occasional lush vocals. The British trio really hits its stride on the fourth track, the remarkably steady and hypnotic "In Formation." By this point, the evolution of the band is clear, as the trio of Matt Bartram, Ben Pierce, and Richard Parks set out to experiment in extraordinary sound textures. The pace slows down on the radiating "Still," and the keyboards on "Long Way out to Me" add a unique element to the album as a whole. As with most bands of their ilk, Ends in Light was intended to be one extended listening experience, instead of nine disconnected, ready-for-radio singles. While each song doesn't necessarily flow seamlessly into the next, the songs are surely connected by theme and musical strategy. The band's refusal to rely on sonic trickery and melodic clichés sets them apart. Michigan's Drive-in Records released the disc in 2002.

TOP 5 MUSIC OBSESSIONS OF THE DAY :: 4/22/17
LISTEN ON SPOTIFY
LISTEN ON YOUTUBE
Another Bonus Saturday Top 5 Music Obsessions is here to bring you the Best Songs for your Saturday. This Mix of 5 are a bit on the Mellow side, something for the slower pace of the Weekend, all Songs you can Sing-a-Long to. Do you have any Favorite Saturday Songs? What are you listening to today?
Bonus Saturday Top 5 Music Obsessions begins with a Velvet Underground Cover Song I’d never heard before until this week, from Big Star. Next up is my Favorite Lloyd Cole & The Commotions Song, “Rattlesnakes”, which I have featured here at lyriquediscorde a few times. The Church’s “Metropolis” is one of those Songs that has graced the Top 5 Music Obsessions a few times, but I can’t help it, the Track keeps sneaking into my Audio-consciousness, making me want to hear it again, and again. Rilo Kiley (pictured above) brings in Song 4 with a very Throwback sounding Torch Song/Love Song with “I Never”. I hear it in my head in a Playlist followed by The Association’s “Never My Love”, or maybe Pete Yorn’s Cover of it. Tori Amos’ “A Sorta Fairytale” ties up Top 5 with the Quintessential Southern California Road Trip Song.
Click to listen to each video below, or choose the Spotify or YouTube link to listen to the Top 5 Song Obsessions of the Day :: Top Five playlist. I add each five songs shared to both playlists each day, so they expand as the Month unfolds. Each Month will have its own ever-expanding Playlist, so if you missed a day, or a past week, its all there for your audio perusal.
TOP 5 MUSIC OBSESSIONS OF THE DAY:
1. “Femme Fatale” (Demo) :: Big Star
“Here she comes,
you better watch your step.
She’s going to break your heart in two.
A new discovery Cover of one of my Favorite Velvet Underground Songs. I Love stumbling on Covers, especially when it is one Favorite Band Covering another Favorite Band of mine. That’s a kind of Cover Perfection.
2. “Rattlesnakes” :: Lloyd Cole & The Commotions
“She looks like Eve Marie Saint,
in “On the Waterfront”.
She reads Simone de Beauvoir,
in her American circumstance.”
Oh My Stars I Love this Song. Lyrically and Melodically it is just Perfect.
3. “Metropolis” :: The Church
“There’ll never be another quite like you.
I’m so involved with everything you do.”
One of my Favorite Love Songs this year. I just can’t seem to get enough of it.
4. “I Never” :: Rilo Kiley
“So, baby be good to me.
I got nothing to give you,
except everything, everything, everything, everything.“
I remember seeing Rilo Kiley in Santa Monica and hearing Jenny Lewis’ Sing this live. It blew me away. The Song has such a Classic feel to it, like something I can picture Girl Groups from the Sixties Singing, or maybe even Ella Fitzgerald, or Eartha Kitt, with a slightly different arrangement. Can’t you hear it, too?
5. “A Sorta Fairytale” :: Tori Amos
“On my way up North,
up on The Ventura,
pulled back the hood,
and I was talking to you.“
This reminds me of the drive to Santa Barbara I took this week with my wonderful boyfriend. It makes me want to be back on the road again…today.


A MISSED OPPORTUNITYOct 26, 2022
I'll never forget the time I walked into a high-end production company for an interview. I had just left a position producing a nightly talk show in the San Francisco Bay Area. And moved to Sacramento to freelance as a Producer, Director and Writer.
So, I walked in the door. Met the Creative Director. Walked into his conference room. Sat down. And had what I thought was the start to a great interview. This production company specialized in commercials and corporate videos for local business. As well as state government. Two areas where I had experience.
Then I made a BIG mistake.
When the Creative Director asked to see my work. I had nothing to show him. All my reels were at home in a box. Waiting to be edited. and to top it off, I didn’t bring a fresh resumé with me either. My big mistake was thinking my television experience would be enough to get work.
But it wasn’t.
I left the meeting embarrassed and humiliated. But, I had no one else to blame for showing up unprepared. That day I missed an important opportunity to get a job, and connect with a key production company in the community.
It was a hard lesson to learn.

Pakistan has a legacy of religious, political and societal influences from the greater Middle East, Central and South Asia and British India. These are reinforced by the challenges of state and nation building in the 21st century; further accentuated by the onslaught of social media and an ever-agitating street. It was the religion and nationalism “combine” that created Pakistan; however, these could not serve as the “enduring basis of nationhood”. This consequently created problems for the establishment of a pluralistic, democratic, decentralised and participatory entity that is inclusive of all ethnic, religious and sectarian groups. The rise in the clout of what is called a “religious right” has resulted in the lack of tolerance and extremism — at least on the surface — and has further eroded the much-trumpeted “Jinnah’s Pakistan”. This “image problem” per se has been causing difficult challenges for our domestic politics and foreign policy. This piece will discuss the rise of the religious right and a possible way forward.
Interestingly, the “religious right” is a Christian concept — also known as the “Christian right” — rooted in American politics dating as far back as 1940s, denoting Christian political factions “strongly supporting socially conservative policies”. Its influence enhanced especially after the 1970s and the term is now in wide usage to describe all religious groups with a conservative outlook. Pakistan’s mainstream religious parties like the JUI-F, JUI-S, Jamat-e-Islami (JI), JUP, Markazi Jamiat Ahle Hadith, Sunni Tehreek, TNFJ, and the myriad other parties and movements subscribe notionally and operationally — in varying degrees — to religious, social and political conservatism in that order.
Religious authority in Islam is highly dispersed as there is no “magisterium” or papacy. In Pakistan’s context, this authority flows through debating and mostly feuding scholars or ulema, with at times conflicting views. These ulema — generally speaking — unanimously act to legitimise religious authority mostly under a self-serving patronage system. There are countless examples where ulema — with exceptions — went along the British rulers in united India and later with the Pakistani military in justifying the rulers’ acts of omission and commission. When terrorism raised its ugly head around the turn of this century, there was copious literature dealing with the genesis of Pakistan’s religious right, whose components had gone astray; at least this being the impression. Ashley J Tellis of Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, in a January 2008 Congressional testimony, categorised terrorism into sectarian, anti-Indian, Afghan Taliban, Al-Qaeda and affiliates and Pakistani Taliban groups. It is not surprising to find that all these subscribe to a religious philosophy and conservatism espoused by one or the other religious parties and movements.
In the wider regional context, there were “butterfly events” (apparently smaller events with far-reaching consequences) that shaped perspectives in the Islamic world. The 1979 Iranian Revolution swept away the liberal order of Pahlavi Iran. The Revolution not only comprised the Iranian religious right, it also had a sizeable combination of other segments of a disaffected society, including the capitalist-minded small traders or bazaris of Tehran. From this catalyst onwards, all events have had a religious and/or sectarian tinge, be it the Afghan Jihad, Iran-Iraq War, Gulf wars, or the wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and Syria; with the religious right providing and solidifying a casus-belli packaged in jihadi metaphor.
Last week in my article on “Pakistan’s Political Culture — Genesis and Prognosis”, I wrote: “The religious right [as an extension of the elite or ashhrafiyya] under the chosen few has bolstered its appeal by cleverly mixing religion with politics, menacingly banishing detractors as heretics. The clergy also stands as a bulwark against the forces of modernity; entrenched in its newfound power, privilege and insatiable ambition.” Generally it is believed that the Sunni orthodox parties benefited most from the political space provided by military regimes. President Zia’s Islamisation process and Musharraf’s “ceding” of two of the four provinces to MMA after the 2002 elections are two examples. Later, there were attempts by the PPP and PML-N governments to appease the religious right through political concessions.
Today the religious right is muscular as is evident by the increasing violence in sectarian politics. We see more Islamic parties and groups embracing militancy as the most effective means to promote their interests. The military-style salute by Maulana Fazlur Rehman from his stick-yielding Ansarul Islam is the latest display of this trend.
However, the religious right also embraces popular causes like inflation, injustice and poor governance that affect the common man. It also champions other segments disaffected with the government, like doctors and teachers. It blends these causes in a religious context, garnering larger public support of mainly the gullible rural public, who have a conservative affinity with Islam. It has the unmatched ability to mobilise public opinion through the pulpit, asthanas (seats of religious order), durbars (shrines), etc, besides raising the needed finances. Consequently the religious right enjoys a nationwide moral authority and irrespective of its political standing in a parliamentary system, it has the ability to influence political decision-making in general and decisions having some religious context in particular.
Pakistan has a vulnerable geography and there are identifiable choke-points to easily block the north south movement of services, goods and people. Any sit-in in Islamabad is potentially destabilising for any incumbent government, given its potential to spin out of control from its handlers. The near shutdown of the country at the hands of Tehreek Labbaik Ya Rasulullah (TLYR) in 2018 is a case in point. Hostile outside powers know this and can play with abandon. When the rank and file are assembled for presumable Islamist causes — as in the current dharna — there is energy that can be dangerous. And given the staying power of administrations, the level of violence doesn’t have to be very high to bring the government to its knees, leading to appeasement and uneasy compromises. The Army with its motto of imaan, taqwa and jihad fi sabilillah (faith, piety, and struggle for Allah) has and would never use force, let alone excessive force, in such situations. So huffing and puffing by the liberal brigade aside, this is the reality of our situation that needs to be understood by all stakeholders. Not accepting it is a futile denial with inimical consequences.
When we publically support a political role for the Afghan Taliban in Afghanistan; denial of the same to our religious right is at best, hypocritical. So one of the practical solutions is co-option of the religious right in governance/decision making in a systematic manner (we may consider nominations besides elections) and thereafter, modernising it through well thought strategies. We also need to study the British colonial model of financial inducements and endowments and the Turkish model of a paid cadre to dilute their clout to manageable levels. There should be a sure but “gradual implementation” of NACTA guidelines against religion-based incitement, hate speech, disbandment of militant wings, reform of religious legislation and madrasahs besides banning radical outfits. The alternative is history repeating itself in the open spaces and D-Chowk of Islamabad.

The Colorado Avalanche enter the day holding the first overall pick and have stated they have their eye on Halifax Mooseheads forward Nathan MacKinnon.
Portland Winterhawks defenceman Seth Jones, Halifax Mooseheads forward Jonathan Drouin and Finnish forward Aleksander Barkov are also highly sought-after talents.
Whether that prompts any movement at the top of the board will be a story worth monitoring.
Two Canadian teams will pick in the top 10 as the Calgary Flames and Edmonton Oilers hold the sixth and seventh overall picks, respectively.
The Flames have three first-round picks and could use the extra the assets to move up the board or bolster their roster via trade.
Beyond the top prospects, there are many intriguing names to watch on Sunday, including Russian dynamo Valeri Nichushkin, defensive standout Darnell Nurse, Ottawa 67's pivot Sean Monahan and London's Max Domi, son of former NHL enforcer Tie Domi.
All seven of the NHL's Canadian clubs have first round picks on Sunday.
The Winnipeg Jets and Ottawa Senators both hold top 20 selections, picking 13th and 17th, respectively. A cluster of Canadian teams will pick one after another as the Toronto Maple Leafs (21st) and Flames (22nd) go back-to-back shortly before the Vancouver Canucks (24th) and Montreal Canadiens (25th) are slated to do the same.
The draft has also become a popular marketplace for NHL general managers to make big-time trades, as stars like Jordan Staal, Mike Richards, Jeff Carter and Nathan Horton have all changed jerseys on or just before Draft Day in recent years.
There's no telling what might unfold in Newark on Sunday. Tune in to TSN and TSN.ca for all the breaking news and picks as they happen.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Recordings [BG]' started by Airsick Pilot, Jul 6, 2003.
Have you guys listened to Creatures(For a While)? I think its pretty f'n good.
well im a fan for 6 years now, and i think this song is nice but not focused enough.
it's the first track from the album so i need to hear all of it to give some final thoughts.
but the sound (production) is not good as in soundsystems or transistor.
I LOVE 311!!!!!!!!!!
I HATE the song!!!!!
Well, ok, I don't like, hate it. But it's not really pleasing right now. It seems that it's just all over the place, and that like whoever else said, it's not really focused.
P-Nut is the ****!!
yea im not too fond of the song, 311 has a lot of better ones in the past. but thats 311's style, and thats the route they took, more power to them. i thnik that they are very interesting to listen to, its never just the same song, they actually have different styles, and genres that they tend to put in their songs, but thats what works for them.
but as i said already, im not too fond of their new single, but maybe their other ones will be more to my liking.
Yeah I do think that they have alot of other better songs and the new one sounds "different" but I think it rocked hard though. Maybe we'll get used to it. The first time I listened to Beautiful Disaster, I thought it was a weird song but I grew to love it and its my favourite 311 song now.
I havent heard it yet, but if it is anything like that amber song, then no dice.
Amber isn't bad at all. Its just mellow. I love Amber.
The new single is pretty heavy.

NEW YORK (AP) — Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez says she’s sorry for blocking a former Brooklyn elected official from her Twitter account after he was critical of her.
The Democrat said in a statement Monday she’s reconsidered her decision, as part of the settlement of a federal lawsuit that Dov Hikind had brought against her this year.
Hikind, a former New York state Assemblyman, says he was blocked from Ocasio-Cortez’s extremely popular @AOC campaign account after he criticized her comments comparing border detention camps to concentration camps.
Hikind had filed his lawsuit on First Amendment grounds. It came after a federal appeals panel had said President Donald Trump couldn’t block people who criticized him from his Twitter account.
Ocasio-Cortez said she reserves the right to block people from her account who engage in harassment.

Here's one I'm pondering. Which new plane to buy?
Admittedly, I am a planeaholic. I've got 3-8 Stanleys, [ok, one's a Union and one's a Record] and a 4 1/2, all nicely fettled, some with LV or LN blades, and most work very nicely. I also have a LN 9 1/2 and a low angle 102 [or 103 -whichever is the LA].
So I'm thinking about a LN 4 1/2, perhaps a 4, or a LV LA jack 62 1/2 with a 25 and a 38 degree bevel blade. I figure they could all be had for about the same. Found a used LN 4 1/2 for about $250. Or maybe I should just ignore my addiction and wait for this foul urge to pass.
It seems to me that the esthetics of the LN are nicer, but that given what I already have the LV LA jack will add more to what I can do. [BTW This is all Mr. Clardy's fault as his purchase of three LN 4 1/2s got me going on this kick.]
Anyway, I'm looking for your thoughts....Thanks in advance,

It is claimed that the Pilgrim Fathers set sail from Plymouth but I’ve also heard that they started in Boston, Lincolnshire. Which is correct?
The short answer is that both are correct...
The group of English colonists who settled in North America and later became known as the Pilgrim Fathers originated as a group of Puritans from Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire who by 1605 had come to believe that their Christian faith was incompatible with the Church of England.
The group decided to leave for the Netherlands where they expected to be able to worship freely and in 1607 a ship was hired at Boston to carry the 150 members of the congregation to Leiden. Unfortunately the group had failed to get the necessary passports and were arrested when they tried to board the ship. A monument stands on this spot to mark the event.
The following year the group did emigrate to the Netherlands. Then in 1617 they heard of an offer of free land in the new English colony of Virginia, subject to various tenancy agreements. After some protracted negotiations with the colony’s administrators, the group decided to leave for the New World.
A ship, the Mayflower, was hired to carry them to America and in July 1620 the group set off. The ship put in at Plymouth to await favourable winds and pick up supplies. They finally left in September 1620 to sail into history.

text: Kanye was suppose to be here in Orlando on December 6th but had to cancel the last leg of his tour due to hospitalization. West was taken to UCLA Medical Center for psychiatric evaluation after the cops responded to a call at his trainer’s home on Monday afternoon. TMZ reports that Kanye was “acting erratically” and was being examined by doctors for severe sleep deprivation when someone decided he should be admitted and called the police. Then it got worse from there. Kanye allegedly didn’t want to to go to the hospital and had to be restrained when he was transported. The news comes less than a day after Kanye canceled the remaining 21 dates of his Saint Pablo Tour. He also made headlines over the weekend because furious fans demanded a refund for his show in Sacramento because the artist only performed 4 songs total then ended up going on a 17-minute rant about celebrities like Beyonce and Jay Z at his concert in Sacramento, then storming off the stage.

BUFFALO, NY (WKBW) — "Most districts are planning for as typical a return to school as possible,” stated Matthew Bystrak, superintendent, West Seneca Central School District. “The school year can't start soon enough."
Public school leaders are now finalizing their reopening plans after waiting nearly two months for the New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH) to offer guidance that never came.
Superintendent Bystrak says he plans to bring West Seneca students back for five-day, in-person learning.
“We’re preparing our facilities — we've also placed a great deal of emphasize to on what kind of infrastructure we would be needing in terms of different social workers, reading teachers and things like that. There's been quite a bit of planning going on in that regard,” explained Bystrak.
The West Seneca school leader says he's expecting to keep at least three feet of distance in the classrooms, but will look to the Erie County Department of Health for bigger issues like masks.
“We want to hear from the medical professionals from the county health department — to hear what their perspective is, I will say that — given the fact — it is kind of a divisive issue right now — that's the sort of stuff you want to keep out of schools in terms of divisive issues — you don't like that in schools,” responded Bystrak.
School district leaders are preparing back to school reopen plans after the @HealthNYGov decided it would not offer guidance. @WestSenecaCSD @westsenecata @NiagFallsCSD @ECDOH @PortvilleSchool @WKBW pic.twitter.com/aDwO47jH9R— eileen buckley (@eileenwkbw) August 6, 2021
The Erie County Department of Health reached out to superintendents Thursday saying it would look at guidance from the CDC and the American Academy for Pediatrics to assist districts now that the state has no plans to issue guidelines of its own.
In Niagara County, Niagara Falls City School District Superintendent Mark Laurrie says there will be no masks or social distancing mandates, but he is highly recommending face coverings.
“If you ride a bus — the expectation will be that you’re masked — now there's not going to be any limits to how many riders on the bus, but bus riders need to be masked,” responded Laurrie.
In the Portville Central School District in Cattaraugus County Superintendent Thomas Simon tells me his district will follow CDC guidance, which recommends three feet of social distancing and masks for students all day except for lunch.
“The greatest challenge at this point, is going to be lunch, ironically because we want to get all students back — all day long,” Simon noted.
All three school leaders say if COVID returns to high levels into the school year, they will be ready to make changes to protect students and staff.
