Radical left leader Alexis Tsipras failed last night in his effort to form an anti-bailout coalition in Greece, as European leaders debated withholding loan payments in response to political posturing in Athens. A final effort to agree a unity government from pro-European parties gets underway today with little likelihood of success, an outcome that would send Greeks back to the polls.
After discussions about postponing the latest tranche of aid to Athens from the European Financial Stability Fund, eurozone finance ministers approved the release of €4.2bn last night. But as concerns mounted over Greek leftists’ statements that the country should renege on its debts, they said the final €1bn of the payment would be held back, as it was “not needed before June and will be disbursed depending on the financing needs of Greece”.
The German Foreign Minister, Guido Westerwelle, had earlier insisted Greece would receive no more aid unless it continued to enact the agreed economic reforms and acknowledged that it could end up leaving the eurozone if it failed to comply. “Germany would like to keep Greece in the eurozone, but whether Greece remains in the eurozone or not lies in its own hands,” he said.
However, some officials close to the discussions said talk of holding the money back was being used to pressurise the Greeks to back the bailout, rather than being treated as a serious option.
Evangleos Venizelos, leader of the tainted socialist party, Pasok, will now lead a last-ditch effort to form a parliamentary majority out of Greece’s fragmented election result. Mr Venizelos, finance minister in the previous coalition, knows better than most how likely Athens is to wring concessions from its lenders and has appealed for Greece to honour the commitments it made in return for two multibillion euro bailouts.
The more likely outcome is that Greece’s fractured right-wing will try to unite against Mr Tsipras and his Radical Left Coalition (Syriza) ahead of fresh elections expected on 17 June. Conservative leader Antonis Samaras, whose New Democracy party led Sunday’s poll by a narrow margin from Syriza, has already failed to find coalition partners.
Mr Samaras warned yesterday that the Syriza leader’s stance would “lead to immediate internal collapse and international bankruptcy, with the inevitable exit from Europe”. Mr Samaras has been punished for criticising the bailout while in opposition before signing up to it after joining the unity government. During the election campaign he attempted to please both sides by promising to amend Greece’s deal with creditors.
Mr Tsipras has appealed to Greeks by denouncing the bailout terms as tantamount to “occupation” and promising to tear them up while keeping the country in the euro as leader of a European anti-austerity movement.
Mr Samaras hit out at attempts to build a broad “anti-European” front by his opponents. “The Greek people have not given a mandate to destroy the country, nor to leave the euro,” he said.
Earlier in the day, the leader of the right-wing splinter group, Independent Greeks, sounded the death knell for efforts to agree a coalition based on opposition to the “memorandum” – the package of reforms agreed in return for international loans. “There is not a sufficient majority to form an anti-memorandum front,” said Panos Kammenos, whose party came fourth in Sunday’s elections.
Greece’s electoral system awards a 50-seat bonus to the leading party, which means no coalition is possible without Mr Samaras’ conservatives, but anti-bailout parties may calculate that the rancorous mood in Greece will see them make further gains in a fresh vote. The Syriza leader’s rhetoric about “another Europe” has been received well in a country where unemployment has risen by one million since the previous election, and salaries have been slashed.
Mr Tsipras has used his time in the spotlight to position his party as the home of Greece’s disaffected voters. As well as meetings with political heavyweights, he also reached out to an environmental party which failed to make it into parliament. Calls from economists at Syriza to nationalise banks, audit Greece’s international debt and place a moratorium on debt repayments have riled international markets. On social media sites, Greeks have begun to set up groups to discuss preparatory measures for an abrupt exit from the euro.
Mr Tsipras, 38, a vocal critic of police brutality, has been criticised for giving moral support to the anarchists, who are blamed for violent confrontations with authorities. Off-camera he speaks of himself as the new Andreas Papandreou, the socialist leader whose expansion of the state is blamed by many for its eventual bankruptcy. He is now seeking to position Syriza as the new home for Greece’s public-sector workers, who feel betrayed by Pasok, and believes that a new election would establish his party as the main voice of the country’s left.

Like the start of many great projects, Rad and Kell began as a college experiment at La Salle University in 2011 with Kelly McGlynn and Matt Radomile.
In May of 2012, they released their first EP entitled Cruise Control which was influenced by the beachy sounds of the Jersey Shore. Their first full-length album, Give Me Gravity, was released in 2016. Pop-oriented with elements of soul and R&B, the album tackled deeper themes like first love, heartbreak, quarter-life crises and adult anxieties, and showed a progression in the duo’s songwriting capabilities.
In early 2018, Rad and Kell worked with Grammy Winning producer Glenn Barratt and recorded three singles: “Falling Head First,” “Dirty Laundry” and “She’s Already Gone.”
Rad and Kell have become a major fixture in the fertile Philadelphia area music scene. They have played venues like the Legendary Dobbs, Xfinity Live and the Fieldhouse, Ardmore Music Hall and played notable festivals such as Musikfest (Bethlehem, PA) and the Ladybug Festival (Wilmington, DE). In 2018 they played their first shows in New York City (Rockwood Music Hall) and Washington DC (Songbyrd), with the goal to play more shows outside of the tri-state area.
As their careers grew, the duo’s natural chemistry blossomed into romance, and they recently wed in late 2019. Their music reflects the optimism and pure joy that comes with love, and it's feel-good music at its finest.
Rad and Kell married their musical inspirations to create a soul-pop duo that is reminiscent of male/female duos of the 60s and 70s (think Captain & Tennille, The Carpenters, Sonny & Cher, only with less cheese) but with a fresh twist that could only be from the 21st century. In addition to soul and pop, there’s a strong mix of R&B, funk and a little folk thrown in the groove.
Rad and Kell recently started working with noted Philly producer Ron DiSilvestro on their next record which they plan to release on November 6, 2020.
See Rad and Kell continue their musical adventures at an upcoming show near you!

One day just a few weeks ago, I woke up thinking about Jim Rohn, a person I heard speak at a company conference in 1987.
That Mr. Rohn popped into my consciousness just as I was waking wasn’t entirely surprising to me. Information he shared in his presentation nearly 25 years ago had a profound and lasting effect on my life, and I still speak of him frequently to others.
But simply because he was the very first thought of my day, I felt compelled to do a Google search on him. And from a linked obituary I found there, I learned he’d died two years ago – on December 5, 2009.
I took all this as a sign from the universe that my post this week (near the 2 year anniversary of his passing) should be devoted to Mr. Rohn and to sharing some of the most powerful ideas he presented. If you’re unfamiliar with Jim Rohn, he was one of America’s greatest motivational speakers ever; I encourage you to research more of his work.
Rohn launched a three-hour address by summarizing his biography. At 25 years old, he was on the road to nowhere special. He’d dropped out of college, was working at Sears as a stock clerk – and yet dreamed of having a more successful and fulfilled life.
It was around this time Rohn attended a lecture given by a wealthy entrepreneur named J. Earl Shoaff. While impressed by Mr. Shoaff’s professional achievements, Rohn was particularly captivated by the life philosophy which propelled them.
It wasn’t long after that Rohn joined Shoaff’s direct sales organization where he committed himself to a process of personal development. Leveraging all he learned – and with Shoaff’s personal mentorship – Rohn became a millionaire just six years later.
Rohn devoted the rest of his life to sharing all he’d learned from Mr. Shoaf and to studying the beliefs, behaviors and philosophy of exceptionally successful people. The synthesis of all the insights he acquired was the basis for the presentation I heard him give – what he’d themed, “The Seven Strategies for Health, Wealth and Happiness.”
Rohn was a realist. Despite having accumulated extraordinary – and potentially life-changing – wisdom over nearly sixty years, he told his audience directly that most of us would do little or nothing with the information once our conference was over. He called that “a mystery.”
Determined to not be one of those people, I took down copious notes which I still have today.
Rohn transitioned into the core of his address by making this ponderable statement:
“Everything you have in your life, you’ve attracted by the person you’ve become.”
By this he meant, our jobs, relationships, wealth – everything.
Once we had fully digested this remark, he presented an even more impressive insight:
“In order to get more, you’ve got to become more.”
Rohn sought to instill in us that the life of our dreams is assuredly within reach, just as long as we’re willing to devote ourselves to constant learning – to becoming more than we already are. He said “the payoff from the constant pursuit of knowledge is great,” and encouraged us to “be a student of good ideas.”
Rohn believed that “all good things are upstream” and challenged us to “read all the good books,” and to “attack procrastination.” He assured us that “regret weighs tons and discipline only ounces.”
He reminded us that we all experience “seasons” in life and emphasized that “virtually everyone thrives in the summers.” His most compelling nugget of wisdom came next: “it’s in how we endure our “winters” that determines the outcome of our lives.”
Jim Rohn saw great potential in every human being and had this wonderful advice for leaders: “A good objective of leadership is to help those who are doing poorly to do well and to help those doing well do better.”
Your legacy lives on Jim Rohn.

TLC has officially cancelled “19 Kids and Counting” nearly two months after a discovery that Josh Duggar sexually abused five underage girls in his teen years, including four of his sisters. TIME reports that TLC removed “19 Kids” from the air immediately after the sex abuse allegations arose, but only now has the network cancelled the show for good.
TLC release a statement saying, “The recent attention around the Duggars has sparked a critical and important conversation about child protection. Unfortunately, child sexual abuse is not an isolated issue; it affects many children and families around the world. To that end, we are partnering with [the organizations RAINN and Darkness to Light] on a multi-platform campaign to raise awareness and educate parents and families about the issue.”
TLC plans to air a one-hour documentary that highlights sex abuse victims later this summer. Jill and Jessa Duggar will be featured in the documentary.
As previously reported, Josh Duggar received counseling after inappropriately touching the young girls.
When the allegations came to light, Duggar said, "I would do anything to go back to those teen years and take different actions. I sought forgiveness from those I had wronged and asked Christ to forgive me and come into my life. In my life today, I am so very thankful for God's grace, mercy and redemption."

Veterans Administration (VA) advances are the absolute most Janitorial Cleaning Services Insurance regular kinds of credits utilized in the present financing market. They offer numerous advantages to qualified borrowers and are for the most part used to purchase, renegotiate, and even improve a home.
Here are 10 significant things one should know before applying for a VA credit:
1) It is an ensured credit. A Veterans Administration advance is an ensured advance by the U.S. Division of Veterans Affairs, which implies the bank who gives financing to the borrower is ensured against misfortune if the purchaser neglects to reimburse the credit.
2) Not every person can meet all requirements for a VA advance. One should be a veteran or deployment ready assistance faculty so as to meet all requirements for VA financing. Veterans can apply for VA financing with any home loan moneylender that takes an interest in the VA home advance program, and a substantial declaration of qualification (COE) must be introduced alongside credit and salary prerequisites so as to fit the bill for the advance.
3) It offers lower-than-normal rates to qualified veterans. With a VA advance, the borrower as a rule gets a lower financing cost than is normally accessible with other credit types. Likewise, a VA advance can be utilized to acquire lower rates on renegotiates up to 100% credit to esteem.
4) It offers increasingly adaptable credit rules. The base FICO assessment acknowledged for a VA advance is around 620, nonetheless, contingent upon interesting conditions a few moneylenders may acknowledge a FICO rating as low as 550. Additionally, despite the fact that other advance sorts may offer comparative FICO assessment rules, a FICO assessment of 620 for a Conventional or FHA credit will have more commitments to the borrower and will require a bigger up front installment.
5) There is no private home loan protection (PMI) required on VA Loans, and the program can likewise be utilized to wipe out Mortgage Insurance (MI) on different advances. For instance, one can renegotiate a current credit by changing their advance program to a VA advance, in this way, taking out the PMI and lessening the month to month contract installment. In spite of the fact that contract protection isn’t required for VA advances, the VA charges a subsidizing expense to give an assurance to a moneylender against borrower’s default on a home loan; in any case, not at all like PMI, which is available for the life of the advance on different sorts of credits, for example, FHA and USDA, the subsidizing charge (FF) might be paid forthright in real money by the purchaser or merchant, or it might be financed into the advance sum. There are likewise bank paid subsidizing charge credit alternatives accessible on VA financing whenever mentioned up to 3.3%, and a few veterans may even be excluded from paying a financing expense on their advance (extra documentation required).
6) Veterans Administration credits regularly don’t require an up front installment. Normally a VA advance doesn’t require an up front installment, notwithstanding, if the credit sum surpasses as far as possible for the area where the property is found, the borrower should concoct an initial installment. The up front installment will fluctuate contingent upon borrower’s residual VA privilege sum and the price tag or assessed estimation of the home and will comprise a level of the distinction between the two.
7) One might be qualified for more than one Veterans Administration credit simultaneously. There isn’t a cutoff on what number of VA advances one can have without a moment’s delay as long as there is an outstanding VA privilege to be utilized. For credits above $144,000, the privilege sum is typically 25% of the VA financing limit for the region where the subject property is found.
8) There is no pre-installment punishment on Veterans Administration advances. Any VA credit can be come up with all required funds whenever, which is an incredible bit of leeway since it can assist one with setting aside colossal measures of cash on premium.
9) The flavoring time frame for liquidations, abandonments, or short deals are shorter for Veterans Administration credits when contrasted with different sorts of advances, for example, Conventional or FHA. As a rule, one can fit the bill for a VA advance following 2 years of petitioning for financial protection or dispossessing their home as opposed to a time of 4 years for liquidation and 7 years for abandonment on a Conventional sort advance.
10) It must be utilized to buy a main living place. The VA benefits can’t be utilized to buy a subsequent home or a venture property; in any case, it tends to be utilized to renegotiate a VA advance that has been recently involved as main living place to bring down the loan cost (VA IRRL).

War on Drugs albums
Slave Ambient – (5 / 5)
When Slave Ambient hit in 2011, it was needed more than ever. There needed to be a band that combined classic rock with 80’s and 90’s elegance. The main single off the album, “Baby Missiles” sounded exactly like a mix of Paul Simon’s “The Obvious Child” and Neu’s “Hologalo”. The singer recalled both Tom Petty and Bob Dylan, while the band recalled Dire Straits and their most chilled out. That ambient quality though, the one inherited from bands like Stereolab and Jesus and Mary Chain, prevails over the classic rock just enough to make it sound timeless. “I Was There” owes more than a little bit to Rickie Lee Jones; even obscure references come though like Everclear and Band of Susans in certain place. The defining songs- “Best Night”, “Come to the City”, and “Your Love is Calling My Name” achieve a perfect mix of all of the rock innovations of the last 50 years to such a perfect extent that it may turn out that War on Drugs DEFINES the sound of the 2010’s. In fact, if any band does as of 2015, it is War on Drugs. What is funny is we didn’t even know we needed them.
Greatest Tracks: Your Love Is Calling My Name, Come to the City, Best Night, Black Water Falls
Lost in the Dream – (4.5 / 5)
The follow up to the brilliant Slave Ambient definitely follows a different path. The songs are longer and get to breathe more and it is more suited to a driving experience. “Under the Pressure” kicks it off and kind of sums up the record: beautiful, ambient, synth heavy, overblown, ambitious. When the songs work like that one works, the record is a gorgeous experience. “An Ocean in the Waves”, “Eyes to the Wind”, “Burning” continue on this path, and it does mix the old (Tom Petty, Bruce Springsteen, Dire Straits, etc.) with the new (Yo La Tengo, Stereolab) in bold ways. Is it overlong and bloated? Well, I don’t really think so. Rather it requires a certain kind of patience that a lot of music does not; it expects you to come down to its level. It makes War on Drugs a unique band in our era: they are not an alternative/indie rock band at all: they are classicist and traditionalist in the best sense of the words.
Greatest Tracks: Under the Pressure, Eyes to the Wind, Burning
A Deeper Understanding – (4.5 / 5)
War on Drugs made a very interesting choice for their 4th lp, in that they did decided to make a true double album: all long, wondering songs that sound similar to each other but when placed side by side create more than the sum of their individual parts. Don’t get me wrong, each song is distinctive enough, but also of a piece and rather homogenous when all heard together. It is one of the few albums in recent memory that I would recommend to listen to perhaps 3 or 4 songs at a time, as each beautiful guitar solo or melody is in the same fashion of the song before, almost combining the ambient aura of their masterpiece, 2011’s Slave Ambient, into the classic rock formula of the bands they love : Tom Petty, Dire Straits, Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan.
Opener “Up All Night” has the mix of dance grooves and AOR guitar rock gloss that makes the band a joy to listen to , and the guitar solo is the highlight of the following song “Pain”. “Holding On” would have fit on the last record, but somehow the sound seems more up to date, where as a true breakthrough comes through in the slowcore ballad “Knocked Down”, which mixes ambient laid back atmosphere with power lyrics, “I wanna love you but I get knocked down”. “Thinking of a Place” is their longest song yet at over eleven minutes, and it earns its epic length with the albums best guitar solo yet and proves the band a force to be reckoned with. “In Chains” is perhaps the best track, summing up everything that is great about guitar rock in the late 2010’s.
Some of the tunes are perhaps too long (“Strangest Thing” and “You Don’t Have to Go”) or could have been left off completely (“Nothing to Find” and Clean Living”) but that seems like nitpicking on an album of rare consistency. For its near 70 minute length, this album holds the listeners attention and provides surprises at every turn. Songwriting of this kind is very old fashioned, but also immortal. And credit is due for having an average song length of six and a half minutes!
Greatest Songs: In Chains, Knocked Down, Thinking of a Place, Holding On

By M.H. Cavanaugh
Christian Action League
January 8, 2015
RALEIGH – According to a press release from the N.C. Department of Health and Human Services (NCDHHS), January 2nd marked the fifth anniversary of North Carolina’s smoke-free restaurants and bars law. This historic legislation banned smoking in restaurants and bars in North Carolina, with a few exceptions for private clubs and some cigar bars. Health proponents were pleased to get such a comprehensive state-wide smoking ban passed in 2009, despite the exceedingly strong opposition from North Carolina’s tobacco lobby.
Ruth Petersen, M.D. M.P.H., chief of the Chronic Disease and Injury Section of the N.C. Division of Health says the positive health outcomes from passage of the legislation have been remarkable for such a short period of time.
“During the first year of the law, North Carolina saw a 21 percent drop in average weekly emergency department visits for heart attacks. Further studies demonstrate the law has improved air quality in North Carolina restaurants and bars and reduced emergency room visits for asthma attacks,” says Petersen.
NCDHHS provides an infographic that states the top five ways the new law has benefited the state.
- It’s improved the air quality in restaurants and bars by 89 percent.
- It’s improved health by reducing the average emergency room visits for heart attacks by 21 percent. It’s reduced the risk of asthma emergency room visits by 7 percent.
- It has helped reduce smoking rates overall. Since its passage there has been a large increase in the number of calls made to 1.800.QUITNOW. It has contributed to a decrease in the number of high school and middle school students smoking.
- It has helped to change attitudes about smoking. Now people in the state can’t imagine allowing for smoking in restaurants and bars.
- And after all of this, studies show the law has done nothing to harm the bottom-line for business.
Cumberland County Health Director Buck Wilson and incoming president of the N.C. Association of Local Health Directors, says, “The smoke-free law was an important milestone for North Carolina.” He added, “The law changed the way we look at smoking and second-hand smoke. It’s hard to imagine going backwards; people in North Carolina really enjoy their smoke free restaurants and bars.”
“Support for the passage of this legislation in 2009 may have been one of my finest moments as a lobbyist for Christian values,” said Dr. Mark Creech, executive director of the Christian Action League. “Yet the smoke-free proposal had strong opposition from many conservatives. Many of them were angry with me over my advocacy for the bill. They claimed the smoking ban would be a violation of one’s property rights to run their business as they saw fit. They said businesses were already protecting the public’s health with rooms designated for smoking. But I disagreed on both counts, arguing that second-hand smoke was the greatest violation of property rights – the right to protect my body from a cigarette’s noxious fume. Moreover, a smoking area in a restaurant, I said, was much like a urination section in a swimming pool – it just doesn’t provide the protection the public really needs.”
Dr. Richard Land, who was president of the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission at the time of the law’s proposal, wrote Dr. Creech and commended him for his support of the legislation, saying, “many people will live longer, healthier lives as a result.’
“Despite the opposition I got from some of my own colleagues on the matter, I’m glad the Christian Action League pushed for this law. The science now shows we were right to do so,” said. Dr. Creech.

Minnesota politician apologizes, toasts Leine's
- Andrew Phillips, The Business Journal
Zellers equated Leinie's beer to "bathwater" as part of a state House debate on an alcohol tax increase in which he denounced assertions that the tax increase would amount to seven cents a beer.
“That’s like promising a case of Summit to the party and showing up with that bathwater called Leinenkugel’s,” Zellers said. “It’s not a fair deal at all. Good Minnesota beer for Wisconsin bathwater, no sir.”
Zellers, who is considering a run for governor in 2014, apologized on the House floor the after being informed by his wife, Kim, that she is "quite fond" of Leinie's Summer Shandy, according to the Chippewa Herald.
“It was great what he did,” Kim Zellers told the Herald, referring to her husband. “This was all in good fun, and hopefully a good relationship will develop.”
Jake Leinenkugel, the president of the family business, agreed.
“It was nice that it worked out, and I’ll have to reciprocate at the Minnesota State Fair this fall,” Leinenkugel said.

K Vaitheeswaran is no stranger to disruption. For 13 years, the founder of Indiaplaza, has been in the e-commerce business. Since 1999, he has been through the ups and downs, right from the days of Y2K to Dot Com boom, bust and now the second coming of e-commerce.
Last month, Mr Vaitheeswaran revealed a secret: “I’m having sleepless nights,” he said to an audience at an industry conference. What’s keeping this seasoned entrepreneur up at night? Two things, he points out: Social media, and changing consumer behavior.
Ever since the emergence of social media, brands have been struggling to deal with consumers who often use the medium to complain and reach out to the brand.
When Indiaplaza was founded, things were simple. Consumers used to shop Monday- Friday between 10 am – 6 pm. With the increasing Internet penetration through mobile and traditional broadband, consumers have begun shopping at night in the last 2-3 years.
“From 10 in the night to 2 in the morning, we have many people buying online and we have to be on our toes,” said Mr Vaitheeswaran who in February 2011 raised $5 mn in series A funding to take on the market once again.
About three years back, the Internet veteran also saw another phenomenon taking the wind out of their sails: Social media. Consumers, who now had access to a large audience, were saying things about the brand. “Good service is expected so very rarely do people talk about it. But bad services almost always gets you unwanted attention online,” he says and points out that he is still a newbie learning the ropes of social media.
Around the same time, he personally took initiative and assigned two of his best employees to engage with the consumers online. “Look at Facebook, Twitter and respond to every complaint or suggestion,” was the brief he gave them. “Many times, its just enough to show that someone is listening and is likely to take action,” he says.
Indiaplaza has managed to bring down the number of complaints by over 80 % in these years, he says. When asked how, he has a simple answer: be honest and quick to respond. “I don’t plan to outsource social media management at the moment. But perhaps later on” said Mr Vaitheeswaran.
Social media has been a pain for brands ever since customers discovered its power. Earlier, we published a guest post on how Indian e-commerce companies are performing in social media. The author of the post says that while Flipkart was the biggest in terms of sales and visitors, when it comes to social media, smaller and nimbler players are asserting their dominance. Amazon’s Junglee.com, which is a newcomer, has managed to get over 6.5 lakh fans and is growing at 31 %, said the author.
Mainstream brands, such as car manufacturers and restaurant chains have also started measuring their social media stats. A survey released in August 2012 by Nielsen and McKinsey & Company says that Maruti Suzuki topped the ranking in creating a buzz and brand equity in Indian social media follwed by Samsung Mobile, Nokia, Brand IPL & coffee shop chain Café Coffee Day. In the previous round of the study, Nike and Flipkart were at number four and five respectively. These brands, of course, spend considerable amount of time and resources on managing their social media reputation.

Grieving mom: “They always say don’t question God. But my family is slowly disappearing.”
Quantia Golden loved planning parties. For her mom’s 50th birthday she coordinated a big shindig at a Hialeah ballroom. Thanksgiving for her large family was always at her home. The weekend after Thanksgiving, the Christmas tree went up.
This year, Golden will miss Christmas.
Four days after Thanksgiving, Golden and her 13-year-old daughter drove a friend to a home in Opa-locka. Golden, a 33-year-old medical assistant and pregnant mother of three, wound up shot to death — an apparent bystander in the wrong place at the wrong time.
For Gladiest Barnes, her daughter’s death cut a deep and all-too familiar wound. Two of her seven children have now been lost to gun violence. Her son Donald Jones, just 20, was murdered more than seven years ago while sitting on a porch stoop. Someone stepped out from behind a garbage can and shot him once in the body, then walked up behind him and a put another bullet into his head.
Three days later Jones awoke briefly, Barnes at his side.
“He woke up and said I want to go home,” Barnes said, during an interview in her North Miami-Dade home. “I said, ‘you’ve got to get better first, baby.’ He said no mamma, I wanna go home. He wanted to be with the Lord.”
Jones’ shooter has never been captured. Police haven’t said much about Golden’s murder, other than that they don’t believe she was the initial intended target.
Golden was killed Monday when two gunmen opened fire on an Opa-locka home, then turned and noticed Golden and her teenage daughter C’Lexus in a white car behind them. The men blasted away again, police believe with the aim of eliminating any witnesses. Golden died on the spot. The bullet that hit C’Lexus entered near her shoulder and exited out her back. She’s since been released from the hospital.
Outside Barnes’ home last week, life went on as normal. Kids ran in and out of a fenced-in yard as vehicles rumbled past the home on the Palmetto Expressway just overhead. Inside, adults sat around a half-decorated Christmas tree, sharing stories and drink and watching television. The smell of food filled the air.
Then a piece on Golden’s shooting death appeared on a local television station and the room erupted in anger, then went quiet in rapt attention. It was difficult for Barnes to contain her sorrow but she gathered herself to try to put an unbearable feeling of loss into words.
“They always say don’t question God,” she said. “But my family is slowly disappearing. At least that’s what it seems like. Ask me how many children I have and I’ll always say seven.”
She also expressed the bitter frustration shared by many parents in poor, mostly minority sections of Miami-Dade who have lost children to shootings over the years. Many believe police and politicians haven’t done enough to bring killers to justice or improve community safety.
Barnes said she paid attention to the February mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High in Parkland and felt horrible for the kids and their families. But it was impossible, she said, not to compare the media and political attention to that horrible spasm of gunfire in white suburbia to the reaction to chronic gun violence in mostly black Opa-locka or Liberty City, two of Miami-Dade’s most crime-ridden neighborhoods.
“Our community is neglected. The killers are killing innocent people. The politicians, when they run for office, they make all these promises. But the only time police are around is when something happens. The police, they haven’t really talked to me yet about Quantia.”
Miami-Dade Police Director Juan Perez said Barnes is right, the media isn’t going to give the same spotlight to a shooting in a neighborhood wracked with crime compared to wealthy Parkland where it’s such a rarity. But he also defended the efforts of law enforcement. He said so far this year, Miami-Dade police have made arrests in 75 percent of the 76 homicides committed in the county.
Major crimes in Miami-Dade, for the most part, continue to follow the national downward trend. At the same point last year there were 93 homicides in Miami-Dade and only 55 percent of them had been solved.
Still, Perez said, “You can’t convince a parent who has lost a child to gunfire that everything is being done until there is an arrest.”
Opa-locka, a central Dade city of 18,000 people, with its depleted budget and downsized police department, remains a sore spot. It has one of the lowest clearance rates of all Miami-Dade cities for all crimes combined, at less than 10 percent. Miami-Dade police investigate Opa-locka’s homicides.
State legislator and minority leader Oscar Braynon II, a Democrat who represents Miami Gardens and Opa-locka, said getting fellow legislators to listen to concerns about gun violence in the neighborhoods he represents has been a major frustration since the day he was elected.
Braynon, who lives in Miami Gardens, echoed Barnes’ concerns and he said he will continue to fight for an assault weapons ban, background checks and for the state to invest money in mental health aid for those who have lost family members. Braynon said he received blowback when he mentioned after the Marjory Stoneman Douglas shooting that his own community deals with the trauma of gun violence on an everyday basis.
“Sometimes I feel like I’m screaming at the top of my lungs at an empty room,” Braynon said about dealing with fellow legislators when it comes to gun reforms. “I want [them] to understand how [they] feel [after the Marjory Stoneman Douglas shooting] is the frustration I feel when it happens to me. It’s an ongoing fight for me. I’m not somewhere else. I’m here.”
Some who have gone through what Barnes is enduring have reached out to her. She spoke at length with Tangela Sears, who also lost a child to gunfire and who coordinates a group called Parents of Murdered Children. Sears said it’s not uncommon to have more than 50 parents at her weekly meetings. The group helps grieving parents pair with advocates and offers a soundboard for those in need.
As for Barnes’ concern about not receiving enough attention, Sears chalks it up to a lack of media coverage, overburdened policing agencies and invisible politicians. Sears said she’s still dealing with a mother who lost a child to gunfire the same day as the Parkland tragedy. The child’s death never made the news, Sears said.
“It seems as though that when it comes to our community, it’s just silence,” she said. “The media is not engaged. Leadership is not engaged. It’s just another killing. They bury a child and for a year or two they don’t hear from anyone.”
Since Golden’s death, Barnes has gone out of her way to make sure her child will not be forgotten. She’s granted repeated interviews and allowed media to enter her home and meet with family.
Golden, married and a mother of three, graduated from American Senior High School. A decade ago she attended a vocational training school with her mother that helped land them jobs with the same doctor’s office in Miami Shores. Barnes is the office manager. Her daughter was a medical assistant in charge of billing.
The day her life ended, Golden arrived at work at 7 a.m. and clocked out at 6:14 p.m. She picked up her best friend and her daughter and headed to the friend’s Opa-locka home to retrieve some food. Barnes said the friend had been inside the home less then three minutes when gunfire erupted.
“Two people came from down the street,” Barnes said. “They shot the home up, turned around and saw them in the car. She covered her baby to stop her from getting shot.”
Barnes said when her granddaughter called to say there had been a shooting, she ran red lights to get there. Golden’s husband Johnny Golden also showed up, but left shortly after because it was too painful. Barnes said she waited until her daughter’s car was towed away by the medical examiner before she left the scene. She called her daughter’s children but they were crying so hard she couldn’t understand them.
Even as a child, Barnes said, Golden acted beyond her years. She always took care of her brothers and sisters and friends, often cooking for them. In addition to her three kids, Golden also cared for a niece and a nephew.
“She was the parent when I wasn’t the parent,” said Barnes.
Barnes and other family members said Golden loved to shop and to have parties for her kids. And she loved Publix cakes.
“This is her season,” said cousin Bridgett Hayes. “You come into the house Christmas Day and you can’t even get into the house because there are so many gifts.”
Family members said they’re not certain Golden’s children, 9, 10 and 13, truly understand yet that their mother is gone forever. But Golden’s 19-year-old stepdaughter Janaih Golden seemed pretty clear-headed earlier this week.
“They took my stepmom away from me and justice needs to be served,” she said.
Barnes said she wasn’t feeling well the day her daughter was killed and that Golden urged her not to go to work. She didn’t listen — and she’s glad for that.
“But by the Grace of God I’m so glad I went,” said Barnes. “It was the last time I got to see my baby.”

Yet it is still too soon to announce an end to the energy crisis.
For a start, prices remain well above normal.
Overall power prices are roughly twice what they were in mid-2021.
The same gas that costs around 75 Euro ($81) per megawatt-hour today sold for 10 Euro before covid-19.
Further drops are unlikely.
Gas demand from industry will probably pick up; gas-fired power stations may start to replace coal-fired ones.
And even with bursting storage facilities, Europe is still short of what the International Energy Agency, an official forecaster, reckons the continent will need for a bad winter next year.
Asian demand for gas is increasing, and will rise further still as China's economy returns to normality.
As Timera Energy, a consultancy, notes, the gas market is still operating on the edge of supply capacity, meaning sharp price movements remain possible.
Europe would do well to bank its luck.
Leaders could use the chance to rethink the myriad support schemes they introduced over the summer, many of which are costly, inefficient and untargeted.
They would be wise to focus money on the vulnerable, and to tie it to green investments.
After all, it is weirdly hot weather that has given Europe its current reprieve.
The fight against climate change will only become more acute as the energy crisis fades.

NAACP President Benjamin Jealous should be ashamed of himself!
In my last Newsmax article, “The Political Lynching of Tim Scott,”
I noted: “… don’t hold your breath waiting for the NAACP . . . to praise the Scott appointment . . . I bet they are trying to figure out how and when to join the mob.”
|Benjamin Jealous of the NAACP.
Sure enough, in typical black “crabs-in-the barrel” fashion, Jealous joined the “mob” saying that Scott did not believe in civil rights because he got an “F” on the NAACP’s so-called Civil Rights Report Card” for the House session that ended in Dec. 2011.
Jealous wants us to believe that Scott is against his civil rights and those of his family and black Americans?
Disgraceful — he should apologize!
Civil rights are the sum total of rights embodied in the Constitution and its amendments, specifically: 13th (slavery), 14th (due process and equal protection); and, 15th (voting).
They led to scores of civil rights cases and legislation culminating in the 1954 Brown v. Board of Education case declaring the doctrine of “separate but equal” unconstitutional, the 1964 Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act of 1965 — landmarks in the battle against American apartheid.
I am a proud graduate of the Howard University School of Law which is steeped in civil rights history. It was a Howard Law brain trust that developed the legal strategy leading to Brown and scores of other legal victories.
It included former NAACP legal counsel and later Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall, Charles Hamilton Houston, James Nabrit, William Hastie, George E.C. Hayes and many other dedicated black lawyers and alumni who worked tirelessly in the decades leading up to Brown and thereafter to fulfill the goal of civil rights for black Americans.
I was taught by many of those who had worked with these scholars.
I also spent time in Alabama and Mississippi investigating hospitals and health facilities for compliance with the 1964 Civil Rights Act; and, was a legal assistant to then Federal Communications Commissioner Benjamin Hooks, who later became Executive Director of the NAACP, developing equal opportunity employment rules for broadcast and cable operators.
Hence, I am no stranger to the subject.
That said, when you look at the list of 20 key votes upon which Scott was graded, only one, and perhaps two, could be construed as key to the civil rights of black Americans.
On the issue of whether to support final passage of the “Death Reporting Act of 2011” requiring states and the attorney general to report on deaths while in state or federal custody, Scott supported the NAACP. So, on an issue of true civil rights, Scott was 100 percent in agreement with the NAACP.
The second issue which could be considered a matter of true civil rights — equality education for black students — Scott was right and the NAACP was wrong. He supported the “Scholarship for Opportunity and Results Act” to expand a program that provided federally funded vouchers for students in Washington, D.C. so they could attend private schools just as President Obama’s children do.
The NAACP opposes such vouchers even though surveys show that black parents support them. Of course, parents are not beholden to the teachers’ unions.
The other issues on the report card have no relationship to true civil rights.
Scott was right to support a House resolution banning federal funding for Planned Parenthood. The NAACP supported Planned Parenthood urging a “nay” as it did earlier this year in opposing legislation that would have banned race-based abortions! Amazing!
The other items on the list have nothing to do with traditional civil rights including: greenhouse gas emissions; healthcare reform; collective bargaining for TSA workers and National Labor Relations Board issues.
The Report Card, with a few exceptions, is nothing more than a litany of the political agenda of the left: labor, abortion and “green” lobbies and others in the liberal Democratic coalition to whose drummer the NAACP marches in lockstep.
If you disagree and have different solutions, you get an “F” — there’s no room for diversity of viewpoint, especially if you are black.
Jealous and the NAACP leadership have derailed the great historical mission of the country’s oldest civil rights organization.
In doing so, they have betrayed the legacy of those mentioned above and others who intended the fight for civil rights to be a non-partisan battle including improving the status, image and position of black Americans in society — not simply serving as an adjunct of any political party.
Michael Myers, former NAACP assistant national director and current executive director of the New York Civil Rights Coalition recently wrote:
“With the regime now in charge at the NAACP, civil rights ain't what they used to be.”
On the 150th anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation, the NAACP should free itself from being a slave to the liberal Democratic coalition. It should once again be what it “used to be” under Ben Hooks and his predecessors.
Instead of attacking Scott, Jealous and the NAACP would be better served to turn their ire against the Oxygen Channel’s proposed new show, "All My Babies' Mamas,” featuring a rap star, his 11 children and their 10 unwed mothers — a program that has been attacked as a demeaning portrayal of black families.
But, that’s probably too much to ask.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
February 17, 2016
Contact: Holmes Wilson, 614-465-6371, email@example.com
iPhone users will gather outside stores with a simple message for the government: “Don’t Break Our Phones.”
On the heels of an unprecedented court order that would require Apple to build a software “backdoor” to help the FBI break into an iPhone, digital rights group Fight for the Future is calling for nationwide rallies outside Apple stores to demand that the U.S. government drop its dangerous request, which would undermine the safety and security of millions of iPhone users worldwide.
The group launched a Facebook event to coordinate the protests here: https://www.facebook.com/events/1645036165762086/
A separate website for the protests will be launched later today.
iPhone users and civil liberties supporters will rally outside Apple stores one week from the date of yesterday’s court order, at 5:30pm local time in each city on Tuesday, February 23rd. Protesters will be encouraged to bring signs, but will also have the option of loading a “Protest Sign” on their phone using Fight for the Future’s ProtestSign.org, which can turn any phone, tablet, or laptop into a light-up protest sign.
“Governments have been frothing at the mouth hoping for an opportunity to pressure companies like Apple into building backdoors into their products to enable more sweeping surveillance. It’s shameful that they’re exploiting the tragedy in San Bernardino to push that agenda,” said Evan Greer, Fight for the Future’s campaign director, “Security experts agree that any weakening or circumvention of security features on a phone puts everyone in danger. Encryption is what protects our airports, power plants, and hospitals. If the FBI succeeds in forcing Apple to help them hack into an iPhone, it will open the floodgates and set a dangerous precedent that will inevitably lead to more suffering and loss of life.”
The protests will carry the message “Don’t Break Our Phones” and “Secure Phones Save Lives”. The FBI is asking Apple to write software that would disable one of the iPhone’s most important security features, which deletes data on the phone after 10 wrong password attempts. If they succeed in forcing Apple to do this, it would create a backdoor that could be used on all iPhones, and open massive potential for security breaches and cyber attacks.
The Facebook event for the protest was launched this morning, and will soon list specifics for events being planned in each city. The protests will happen in a 100% grassroots fashion, organized by Fight for the Future members in each city who will step up to bottomline each event. The group used similar tactics last year to organize widespread rapid response protests in support of net neutrality.

text: Met some old friends here recently and they have three very well behaved children. This place really knows how to take care of kids and adults as well. The kids were quickly given crayons and pictures to color, orders taken and food quickly delivered. That way, the adults could have some adult beverage, order some find fresh oysters on the half shell and catch up. The menu changes regularly based on the local farm to table approach, what we had this week may not be there next. That is what keeps us all coming back. The halibut was excellent. Some of the best I have ever had. So, while we were eating dinner, the kids got dessert and everyone was happy. Then the adults got dessert! The Shed is famous for its very own take on a Ding Dong... not to be missed but the new favorite is a peanut butter chocolate bar with nutella gelato. Do not miss it! And, valet parking... so all is good at The Shed!

The transfer of Eden Hazard to Real Madrid has become a real scandal. The Belgian, who is considered one of the best players in the world, is in the midst of a transfer ban and is not allowed to leave the club. The transfer of the Belgian was a real surprise, because the club always had the intention of selling him.
At the moment, the club is trying to sell the player to a third party. The main contenders for the player are:
* Manchester United;
The latter is the most likely candidate, because Morata is considered the best player in the English Premier League. The player of Chelsea is in good shape and is ready to fight for the champion title.
However, the player of Manchester United is also a real candidate for the transfer. The Red Devils are in the middle of the championship and are trying to win the Europa League. In addition, the team has a good lineup, which can be used in the Champions League.
It is worth noting that the player is not a free agent and can sign a new contract with the club, which will allow him to leave Madrid.
The player of the Blues is a good goalkeeper, who can play in the Premier League and in the Europa Cup.
Chelsea’s Transfer Prospects
The club has a number of interesting transfers for the summer. First of all, the players who are in great shape, such as Eden Hazard, Willian, and Tammy Abraham.
In addition, Chelsea has the option of selling the player, because he is not in the best shape. The club has already sold Willian to Barcelona, but the player has not yet signed a new deal.
Another player who is not yet sold is Tammy Abraham, who has already scored a number goals for the club and is in great form. The young player has a contract with Chelsea until the summer of 2020, which means that the club will have to pay a lot for him. The price for the goalkeeper is also high, because it is worth considering that the goalkeeper will be able to play in several positions.
Willian’ transfer is also interesting, because his contract is valid until the end of the season. The Barcelona player will be a free transfer and can leave the Catalan club.
New Champions League Qualifiers
The new season of the Champions Cup is in full swing. The new qualifiers will be held in the group stage. The first matches of the group stages will be played on August 20 and 21. The draw of the groups will be made on August 24, and the top 4 will be decided on September 1.
Of the new qualifiers, the most interesting are the matches against the teams from the lower divisions. The matches against Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Atletico will be the most important, because they are the teams that are considered the main contenders of the champion titles.
There is a real chance that the first matches will be very interesting and will decide the fate of the qualification places. The teams will have a lot of chances to win, because in the new season, the Champions league will be transformed into a group stage, where the teams will play against each other.
All the information about the Champions cup qualification is available on the website of sports statistics. Here, you can find the results of the matches, as well as the schedule of the upcoming matches.
Champions League 2018/19 Results
The draw for the group matches was held on August 23, and it was announced that the following teams will participate in the playoffs:
1. PSG – Liverpool
2. Manchester City – Chelsea
3. Bayern – Real Madrid
4. Juventus – Manchester United
5. Liverpool – Barcelona
6. PSV – Valencia
7. Bayer – Napoli
8. Valencia – Sevilla
9. Real Sociedad – Milan
10. Chelsea – Tottenham Hotspur
The last two teams will be relegated to the Europa league. The group stage matches will last until August 27.
Next Steps of the Season
The Champions league is entering the group phase, and many teams will try to win a place in the next stage.
On August 27, the teams’ final matches will take place. The winners of the previous stage will be crowned the Champions, and they will be presented with a special trophy.
If you want to be the first to know the results, you should follow the Champions tournament on the sports statistics website.
Latest Results of the Premier league
The Premier league is the top league of the English football. The season 2018/2019 will be remembered for a lot, because there were a lot changes in the top teams.
Liverpool is the main contender for the title, but Manchester City and Manchester United are also in the fight for it.
Manchester United is the team that has the best chances to get into the Champions club. However, the Red Devils have a long bench, and if they lose a player, they will lose the game.
Despite the fact that the Red devils are in a good shape, they are not the most dangerous team in the league. This is why they have a good chance to win.
You can follow the latest results of Manchester City on the site of sports results.

Titolo: Body mass, fat distribution and blood pressure in Southern Italian children: results of the ARCA project.
Anno di pubblicazione: 2006
Autori: Barba G; Troiano E; Russo P; Strazzullo P; Siani A.
Affiliazioni autori: Epidemiology and Population Genetics, Institute of Food Sciences, National Research Council, Via Roma 52 A/C, 83100 Avellino, Italy Department of Clinical & Experimental Medicine, Federico II University of Naples, Naples, Italy
Abstract: OBJECTIVE: To investigate the association between the degree of adiposity, assessed using the international reference values for body mass index (BMI) of the International Obesity Task Force (IOTF), the fat distribution pattern and the blood pressure (BP) profile in children. METHODS: Anthropometric indices and blood pressure were measured in 3923 children aged 6-11 years in southern Italy. RESULTS: The prevalence of overweight and obesity (by IOTF references) and pediatric hypertension was, respectively: 27, 21 and 10% for boys; 25, 21 and 14% for girls. Body mass index and waist z-scores were the strongest determinants of BP by regression analysis. Overweight and obesity were associated with a greater tendency for central fat deposition and higher BP (waist, cm; boys: 59.2+/-6.0, 69.5+/-7.9, 79.0+/-9.7; girls: 58.8+/-6.5, 68.2+/-7.4, 75.3+/-8.9; SBP/DBP, mmHg; boys: 94/60+/-12/9, 99/62+/-13/8, 103/64+/-15/10; girls: 93/59+/-12/9, 99/62+/-14/9, 101/63+/-14/9; normal weight, overweight and obese, respectively; P<0.0001; M+/-SD), and a higher risk of hypertension (overweight: RR=2.33; 95% CI 1.76-3.08; obesity: RR=3.69; 95% CI 2.78-4.90), independent of age, physical activity, birth weight, parental adiposity and education. Among normal weight children, 99% had waist <85th percentile and 93% were normotensive. CONCLUSIONS: Overweight and obese children, identified according to the IOTF growth charts, are characterized by a central fat distribution pattern and higher BP.

In order for a creditor to accept a settlement, you’ve got to offer more than they’d get with a judgment. If you offer less, or make it more difficult for the creditor to get the settlement money, then they’ll deny the offer. To put together a realistic settlement offer, look to everything you’ve got.
Debt settlement is when a company negotiates with your creditors on your behalf to reduce the amount you’ll pay. The rest of the debt is typically forgiven. If you already know that debt settlement is for you, take a look at the best debt settlement companies of 2019 that came out on top during my research.
