The Ballad of Ramblin' Jack
Vanguard Records, A Welk Music Group Company
A review written for the Folk & Acoustic Music Exchange
Upstarts take notes. This is how you do a folk album. |
Get one of the most recognizable voices in America (Johnny Cash) to introduce the artist, Ramblin' Jack Elliott. Throw in other huge names on backing instrumentals: Norman Blake, Randy Scruggs, Sonny Terry and Derroll Adams. Include rich vocal appearances by Bob Dylan, Woody Guthrie and Odetta. Make it a live album so that all the familiarity and good-humored respect among this esteemed group is shared with the rest of us. Then, just to really impress people, let the President of the United States pay homage to your star. You've got the makings of another classic Vanguard release, The Ballad of Ramblin' Jack (2000).
This soundtrack, from the movie by the same name, is daughter Aiyana Elliott's tribute to her father whom, throughout her lifetime, she watched rise from rodeo cowboy status to living folk-legend. The documentary film includes rare footage of a definitive time in cowboy Jack's life: being on the road with Woody Guthrie, even living with him for over a year. Jack's story is one of constant travel, even today. To complete the work, Aiyana went on tour with him for two years; collecting stories to accompany the film clips, priceless spoken word outtakes from vintage live performance footage and these songs for the score. The results are recorded on this 20 cut compilation.
Early work, including the traditional folk tune, Railroad Bill, sung as a duet with musical role model and songster soul mate Woody Guthrie, appear here. It is the only known recorded studio session of the two of them together (1953). The tune becomes even more poignant when you realize that the tracks represent one of the final recording sessions Woody completed before succumbing to Huntington's disease.
Jack's live performance of San Francisco Bay Blues" on Pete Seeger's 60's era television show Rainbow Quest is included, as are more recent on- and off-stage appearances at The Cowboy Poetry Gathering in Elko, NV: Cuckoo, and Car Song, (1998). He covers a priceless collection of five Guthrie tunes with spirited and genuine devotion to his mentor's contribution to folk music.
This album is a rarity; obviously the highest priority wasn't commercial success-it's too good for that. Stage banter between talented buddies, singing by 'the Prince of Folk' good enough to give you goosebumps, and spare, down-home music making, condemn this excellent story album to non-commercial obscurity. Thankfully, Vanguard recognizes quality when it hears it and grabbed the chance to put, The Ballad of Ramblin' Jack out here for the rest of us to enjoy. Thanks, Vanguard.

Thursday, June 13, 2013
A pole that was attached to a 21-storey building in Jalan Macalister came crashing down after a thunderstorm, crushing vehicles travelling below, injuring seven with two seriously wounded.
In the 6:45pm incident, about six cars were crushed by the giant white-coloured pole. Among the vehicles was a lorry carrying liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) canisters.
The LPG canisters were seen lying all over road, risking possible explosion.
No casualties have been reported.
The scene of the incident was chaotic, with hundreds running away from nearby outlets. Occupants of the tower were also evacuated.
In BUKIT MERTAJAM, the thunderstorm also caused havoc near the Penang Bridge when a tree was uprooted, falling onto two cars and a motorcycle.
The incident had caused a massive crawl along the mainland-bound stretch as the tree had blocked the three-lane road.
The traffic was only reopened to the traffic at 8.20pm after the Fire and Rescue Department managed to remove the fallen tree.
A 20-tonne concrete slab and a lightning arrester pole on top a 21-storey building collapsed and crashed on several vehicles along Jalan Macalister following a thunderstorm this evening.

Mission to Horatius
First edition cover
|Series||Star Trek: The Original Series|
|Media type||Print (Hardcover)|
Mission to Horatius is a novel based on the American science fiction television series Star Trek: The Original Series. It was published in 1968 by Whitman, and was the first original novel based on the series; the first novel for adult audiences, Spock Must Die!, would not be published until February 1970. Mission to Horatius details the adventures of the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise investigating where a distress signal had originated, resulting in them engaging with several different human colonies.
The novel was written by Mack Reynolds, and was Whitman's only original fiction based on the series. The producers of Star Trek had issues with the book, as they were concerned that it was dull and poorly written, in addition to containing offensive descriptions of both Sulu and Uhura. Gene Roddenberry intervened, stating that he would rather call off the publishing deal than see the property harmed. It was corrected, but Roddenberry was still dissatisfied with the novel. By 1999, Whitman had gone out of business, and so to celebrate holding the Star Trek license for 20 years, it was re-published by Pocket Books.
The U.S.S. Enterprise is headed to Starbase 12 for shore leave, supplies and repairs. Food is running low and the engines need servicing. A distress signal diverts the ship to a solar system on the outer edge of explored space. Upon hearing of the emergency mission, Dr. McCoy expresses his concern about the mental health of the crew to Kirk. In Dr. McCoy's opinion, the Enterprise has been on patrol for such a long period of time that the crew is in danger of developing a form of space madness known as cafard.
Upon reaching the NGC 400 solar system, the Enterprise crew comes across three planets populated by different human settlers who had been unhappy with the social or political order of Earth. One planet has reverted to a Stone Age state, another has a mid-20th Century technology while the third maintains a level of technology capable of space travel and advanced weaponry.
Kirk and crew must determine who sent a distress signal and the nature of the emergency. Along the way, they encounter a warrior society, a planet where drugs are used to control the general population and a culture consisting of an elite class with clones handling the day-to-day chores required by society.
The first works of fiction based in the Star Trek universe were the Star Trek comic books, which began publication in 1967. These were followed the same year by short story adaptations of the episodes of Star Trek: The Original Series published by Bantam Books and written by James Blish. Mission to Horatius became the first original fiction published in novel form based on the Star Trek series when it was published in hardcover by Whitman in 1968, and the only original fiction to be published while Star Trek: The Original Series was still being broadcast. It was written by Mack Reynolds, and illustrated by Sparky Moore.
Issues with the novelisation were first raised with the producers of the television show by John Meredyth Lucas, who contacted both Desilu Business Affairs and Gene Roddenberry, warning them that while the novel was "not technically in bad taste, but is extremely dull, and even considering the juvenile market, badly written". He added that it contained several inaccuracies including describing Vulcans as Vulcanians and an issue with Spock quoting poetry. There were concerns that Sulu had been described as a "bland faced, small oriental" and that Uhura was called a "negress" and sings a spiritual. Roddenberry wrote of his concern with the project on November 14, 1967, to Desilu Business Affairs, saying that he agreed with Lucas' comments, and that Star Trek "is a valuable property worth protecting and I personally would rather blow a deal like this than see the property harmed." Despite corrections, Roddenberry wrote a five page dissection of "Mission to Horatius" describing what he felt was wrong with the novel.
The first original Star Trek novel for adults, Spock Must Die!, was not published until February 1970. While Whitman did not publish any other Star Trek novels, it did publish a range of coloring books based on the series. "Mission to Horatius" was subsequently re-published by Pocket Books to celebrate the publisher's 20th anniversary of holding the official Star Trek license in February 1999. Editor John J. Ordover explained when interviewed for Jeff Ayers' Voyages of Imagination that it was re-printed for fun, and that when pitched he had explained that Paramount Studios held the rights to the book as Whitman had gone out of business. He added "It was selling for $50 at conventions. So why not do a reissue? It was the first Star Trek novel ever done and the first one I read." In order to re-publish the work, Pocket Books bought a second-hand copy from science fiction author Dayton Ward. By 2008, the original editions by Whitman were worth up to $100, while the Pocket Books reprints were worth around $5.
Most reviews are lukewarm although criticism of plot developments or characterizations are usually muted by an acknowledgment the book was aimed at younger readers.

Body criticism is something that a lot of us face. Whether it’s from strangers or people we know, it can be tough to deal with. But what’s even tougher is that the critical words are intended to tear us down and it needs to stop, especially when women are doing it to each other. We get enough hate from men. Why do it to each other? You see, there is nothing wrong with any of our bodies. The problem is the people who feel the need to criticize them. It’s time we work on changing our attitudes about ourselves and others.
Ever since I began my YouTube channel ten years ago, people have been making comments about my body. In the beginning, everyone said, I had the perfect body but as a whole person I was far from perfect. When I started my channel, I was really skinny because of the anxiety of my divorce. Now that I am doing better emotionally, I have put on healthy weight and the comments have become so brutal. They’ve told me I’m too fat to be a trainer, that my workouts must not work because my body isn’t getting any “better” or have asked why I am so fat if I am so healthy, just to name a few.
While I was going through my divorce and dealing with depression, those comments would have really gotten to me. Over time, I have learned to deal with it and use empathy and compassion and remove my ego from the equation. Although I’ve learned to deal with body criticism and view the comments differently, it still doesn’t mean it is OK for women to say these things to each other. So why do they?
Why do women put each other down when we should be cheering each other on?
First and foremost women are critical to one another because men, society and the media have taught us to be. (More on that one later.)
It reminds me of the crab mentality. If you put one crab in a bucket, it can claw its way out and be free. However, if you put a bunch of crabs in a bucket and one tries to escape, the rest will pull it back down. They keep each other from succeeding. That is what we do with our words when we put one another down. That is what body criticism can do if you let it.
The Bible says “the tongue has the power of life and death”. We can choose to encourage one another or we can be like a crab and tear one another down. When we are in a positive place mentally and emotionally, most of us choose to encourage instead of being a bottom-feeding crab. But when we aren’t feeling so good about ourselves, that is when the criticism kicks in. It’s a true fact that hurt people, hurt people, or at least they will try. Ultimately, you are in control of how those comments affect you by the feelings you choose.
Critical mindsets, for many of us, started in our early childhood years. The people meant to love and care for us were overly critical of us and we learned that was the normal way to interact with the world. For kids under seven, the brain isn’t developed enough to know the difference between criticism of an action or behavior and criticism of themselves as people. Being in an atmosphere of constant critique teaches kids that they are bad. They deal with this pain by turning it into self-criticism. Later in life, this turns into the criticism of others.
As adults and even teens, we usually critique people because we feel threatened. We sense that the actions or values of someone else go against our own which makes us feel those same sensations of shame and danger we felt as a kid. The difference is, now we are bigger and older and know how to fight back. Instead of allowing this person to make us feel bad about ourselves, we beat them to it by pulling out our meanest, nastiest critique. As women, we tend to attack each other’s most valuable and vulnerable possessions, our bodies.
Another root of our critical mindsets is the media and what is referred to as the male gaze. Basically, mainstream media, which is largely run by men, objectifies women. Media has taught us that a woman’s role is to be an erotic supporting object for men to watch, conquer or possess. We’ve learned that there is great danger in not fitting the stereotypical definition of beautiful and so we do everything possible to conform. We even compete with each other to reach the mythical “top”, clawing and trampling one another along the way because we so desperately want to be seen and accepted. This mindset damages our self-esteem, strains relationships with other women, discourages women empowerment and plays into the patriarchy that has already existed for far too long. Yet, it is so ingrained in our society and our minds that we often don’t even realize we are doing it.
This doesn’t mean that because you were criticized as a child and are under the male gaze you have permission to be cruel to others. The cool thing about the brain is that it is always changing and evolving. Using cognitive reframing and autosuggestion, you can teach your brain to think new thoughts. It all starts with recognizing why you feel the need to criticize and then choosing to replace it with a new thought. It is all about changing our attitudes and making a radical shift in how we interact with ourselves and others.
Wouldn’t it be amazing if we could treat each other the way these celebrities treated Anne Hathaway when she was feeling like her jeans were a bit too tight because she had gained some weight? I’d love to go to the gym knowing every woman I passed was going to cheer me on instead of judging me for how tight my spandex is or analyzing how my skin folds when I sit down.
Women have fought long and hard to show the world what amazing, strong, capable human beings we are. We shouldn’t have to waste our time and energy convincing each other of that truth.
It is in all of our nature to want to help one another and encouraging someone else is so much more rewarding than being a crab and pulling them back down into the bucket. Life isn’t about scarcity, friends, there is more than enough success to go around. Stop the negativity. Stop the body critiques. We have a world to conquer. Let’s do it together.
Now, I’d love to end this post here but unfortunately, body criticism is a part of life for all of us. Instead of just asking for it to end, I want to also equip you to deal with body criticism in a way that forces the person making the critical comments to reflect on their words and (hopefully) choose a different response in the future.
When someone makes a negative comment about your body, it is normal to want to react. I’ll be honest, even though I’ve been through this a lot of times in the past ten years, I still have the urge to throw up my middle finger at those crabby women and then walk away. After all, negative bottom feeders don’t deserve my time, energy, or mental space. I use cognitive reframing to remind myself that they can choose to live in the low level vibes and I can choose to stay on my higher level vibes of thinking.
At the same time, it takes all of us working together to make this world a better place. So instead of giving them the satisfaction of knowing that their hurtful words bothered me, I prefer to kindly put them in their place. Here’s my five-step trick:
The first step is to love your body as it is. Often we are our own worst body critics. It’s time to put an end to that negative story running through your head. Here is a new story for you:
You are a sexy, powerful woman with a perfectly designed body. You don’t work out to change who you are or how you look, you exercise to be healthy. You work out to care for yourself and give your body the love it deserves. My goal as your holistic fitness trainer is to help you have a healthy body, soul, and mind.
When bottom-feeding crabs show up in your life and make critical comments to try and tear you down, the last thing you want to do is let them succeed in making you feel just as miserable as they do, instead you move on to the next steps.
The person who made the hurtful comment is. In fact, there is nothing wrong with you at all. She made the comment because she feels threatened by, or is jealous of, you. I always remind myself that hurt people want to hurt people. That reality helps me feel compassion and empathy towards the haters.
It’s OK to feel upset when someone criticizes your body. Give yourself time to calm down before doing anything else. This might take a few seconds or even a few days but it is important to be in a state of mental calm before trying to interact with the source of the negative comments. Coming back with a compassionate response always works for me. We never know what battle other people may be fighting and you may just be the one to receive their toxic energy. Give them compassion in return. Both of you will be better off in the end.
As long as you are feeling calm, address the person who criticized your beautiful body. Recently, when a fan left me a body critical comment on social media, I messaged her asking if she was OK. I reminded her that hurt people tend to look for ways to hurt others and wanted to see if she needed help with anything. People feel that because I am an online fitness expert that I am supposed to be perfect but that’s not true. I have life events that happen to me too and throw me off my ideal weight. Yes, I workout everyday but I also tend to be an emotional eater. I am not perfect. I am human, and just like you, I struggle with real life problems.
This one ticks them off because it shows that their words meant to hurt you did not affect your self-confidence one bit. Now, I don’t mean you should say, “Yes, you’re right. I am fat.” (Because you are not). I mean agree by acknowledging that no, your body isn’t perfect because perfection doesn’t exist. We’ve all looked at one too many airbrushed images and compared ourselves to celebrities, and even fitness trainers, who’ve had work done to try and keep up with the media’s lies. I am a real human and I’m proud of my body, imperfections and all.
The reality is, liposuction and steroid use are very common in the fitness community. They just don’t want you to know about it. We all have stubborn areas of fat that won’t go away. No matter how much you workout, your genetics, age and nutrition play a huge part, making it impossible to spot train those areas away. Although I’ve considered getting lipo myself, I’ve never done it. If I ever do, it won’t be because the haters have made me feel bad about myself. It will be because I chose to do it for me. And I will be sure to let you know every detail.
You shouldn’t let anyone make you feel bad about your body but you are allowed to make your own choices about how to care for and love your body. In the end, we are all human and our bodies are with us for life. We want to feel confident about what we see in the mirror and there are many different ways to get there. The most important part is to make healthy choices instead of damaging your precious human body to reach some unrealistic stereotype of perfection. For now, I am working with a nutritionist and doing everything I can to take care of myself and be the healthiest version of me I possibly can.
In my conversation on social media, I reminded her that I am not superwoman and I feel really good about my efforts, because I am doing the best I can. She ended the conversation with a heartfelt apology.
Ladies, we are all at different places in life. We all have struggles and successes. Each of us have insecurities and rough days. You never know where someone is in life. Just because they post a smiling, happy face on social media, doesn’t mean life is all good. You never know how your words will make someone else feel. So, every time words come out of your mouth, or your keypad, make sure they are building others up. Keep in mind that whatever goes around comes around. Body criticism is keeping us all in the bucket. It’s time for body criticism to end. We deserve to be free.
Change more than just your body

OnePlus Keyboard 81 Pro
The keyboard has been teased for a while, so it's satisfying to see it in full and get most of the details. The company is collaborating with Keychron to make this keyboard, using its switches to provide the best experience possible. If you're not familiar, Keychron makes its own line of mechanical keyboards, and it offers some of the best options out there. When it comes to the color palette of the OnePlus keyboard, leans heavily into the brand's roots, using colors like silver, white, and red.

The ports on the back include a USB-C port and a switch to set the keyboard for wired or wireless use. There is also a small toggle on the back that can be used to set the keyboard to function with a Mac or PC. The transparent rotary knob in the upper right-hand corner of the keyboard is aesthetically pleasing. There's no word on battery life in OnePlus' press release, but Keychron advertises that the Q1 Pro offers up to 300 hours of use with backlighting off and up to 100 hours with backlighting on. Given the Keyboard 81 Pro has the same-sized 4,000mAh battery, I'd expect battery life to be similar. If OnePlus can compete with Keychron's $199 price point for the fully assembled Q1 Pro, then its Keyboard 81 Pro could be a neat alternative for fans of OnePlus' muted aesthetic.

“Friends don’t let friends drive I-70.”
The tongue-in-cheek mantra is often uttered by Colorado skiers and snowboarders who frequent resorts far from the crowded mountain corridor, which funnels thousands of vehicles onto two lanes west of Denver every winter weekend.
“It’s nightmarish. Hours and hours in the car. I think the last time I went to Keystone (typically a 90-minute drive from Denver), I spent four hours getting there and five hours getting home,” said Cole Capsalis of Denver. “There was more time in the car than skiing.”
The 28-year-old product manager, who went to the University of Utah in part because it allowed him to hit the slopes up to 100 days a year, moved to Denver about six years ago. But his love of ski resorts quickly took a tumble because of horrendous traffic more akin to Los Angeles freeways.
So Capsalis ditched resorts for less crowded — albeit more dangerous — remote backcountry snowboarding.
“I would prefer to risk my life on some level ... as opposed to sit in I-70 traffic on the weekends,” he said.
Traffic along the route has been common for years, but it’s exacerbated by a recent population boom in the Denver area.
“Traffic has increased incredibly statewide, and nowhere do you see that more actively than on the I-70 corridor,” said Amy Ford, a state transportation department spokeswoman.
Between 2010 and July 2017, the population in Denver and its suburbs increased by an average of nearly 51,000 annually.
In 2000, nearly 10.3 million vehicles on I-70 crossed the Continental Divide, which slices through the heart of Colorado’s ski country. That figure was about 13.4 million in 2018.
“It’s always going to get worse. We’re expecting that,” said Patrick Chavez, who works at a transportation department office at the mouth of two tunnels bored under the Divide. “We continue to try to find measures to mitigate and minimize the impact.”
But that’s getting harder as more people move to Colorado, he said.
Colorado’s population has increased 53 percent since 1990, while lane miles on the state’s highway system have only increased 2 percent, officials said.
The department’s typical $1.4 billion budget, 70 percent of which goes toward road maintenance, is only slightly bigger than neighboring Utah’s. But Colorado has 6,864 more highway lane miles and 2.4 million more residents.
Unlike Utah, Colorado doesn’t dip into sales tax to fund its transportation budget, and its state gas tax, the 12th lowest in the country, hasn’t been raised since George H.W. Bush’s presidency.
High-speed rail could be built through the corridor, but may cost between $11 billion and $32 billion depending on the route and type of train used, according to a 2014 study commissioned by the transportation department.
The three viable options would require significant right-of-way acquisition, and crews would have to blast between 15 and 35 tunnels. A train on the existing right-of-way would have to travel so slowly on the interstate’s curves and grades that it couldn’t compete with driving.
That means transportation officials will continue to rely on smaller-scale solutions to an increasingly difficult problem.
They’re quicker at clearing accidents. They’ve installed traffic information signs at resorts and in-pavement LED lighting on areas of the interstate with poor visibility. They’ve widened tunnels and introduced a bus system that runs on I-70. And they’ve built a 13-mile toll road at a notorious pinch point on eastbound I-70.
All those steps, Ford said, have had a positive effect and reduced the number of accidents.
In 2008, nearly 1,900 accidents were reported along the corridor and in 2017, about 1,200 accidents were reported.
The transportation department also is doing a relatively good job of keeping traffic flowing through the roughly 100-mile stretch that serves major resorts like Vail, Breckenridge and Keystone.
In January 2012, for example, it took drivers an average of an hour and 50 minutes to travel west through that section during the peak of weekend traffic. The numbers fluctuate through the years for a variety of reasons, including weather, but by January 2018, it took just over two hours.
Traveling that stretch without traffic typically takes 90 minutes.
“It is a significant challenge, but that corridor is getting a lot better,” Ford said.
Still, words and numbers might not be enough to convince those who love to loathe I-70, and the department’s biggest challenge could be battling the perception that the interstate is getting exponentially worse.
“I watched it deteriorate so much ... that I would have a really hard time believing that anything significant would have changed at this point,” Capsalis said.

Oh noes! The Homosexual Agenda has now captured Delaware, home base to the corporate charters of so many upstanding conservative corporations. I assume they will be giving up the associated benefits, now that Delaware has tainted itself? I'll just sit here and hold my breath:
Delaware on Tuesday became the 11th state to permit same-sex marriage, the latest in a string of victories for those working to extend marital rights to gay and lesbian couples.
The marriage bill passed the State Senate by a vote of 12 to 9 Tuesday afternoon.
“It’s a great day in Delaware,” said Gov. Jack Markell, a Democrat, who signed it within minutes of passage before an overjoyed crowd of activists. “I am signing this bill now because I do not intend to make any of you wait one moment longer.”
Same-sex couples will be eligible for marriage licenses on July 1.
Delaware adopted same-sex marriage just five days after a similar decision in Rhode Island and after ballot-box victories last fall in Maine, Maryland and Washington.
During three hours of emotional debate before the vote Tuesday, State Senator Karen Peterson, a Democrat, said she had lived with a female partner for 24 years, and she challenged opponents of extending marriage to gay couples. “If my happiness somehow demeans or diminishes your marriage, then you need to work on your marriage,” she said, eliciting cheers and laughter.

The decision follows a rapid rise in infections, hospital admissions and case rates across the country, and UK hospitals are now under more pressure than they have been at any other point throughout the pandemic.
This drastic jump in cases has been attributed to the new variant of COVID-19, which our scientists have now confirmed is between 50-70% more transmissible.
From today, people in England will only be allowed to leave their homes for specific reasons, including going to work if it has to be done on site. This includes the manufacturing and construction industries.
Commenting on the announcement Stephen Phipson, chief Executive of Make UK, said: “In the face of a renewed national crisis the Prime Minister is right to take these vital measures. This fight is likely to occupy much of the coming year and, just as it has done since the start of the crisis, industry has supported the national effort and will continue to do so.
“In return, it is now critical Government revisits the business support packages. Whilst measures such as the furlough scheme are very welcome, businesses are taking on substantial debt, deferring tax bills, postponing mortgage payments and facing empty order books; this cannot continue indefinitely. In strategic sectors like aviation and automotive tonight’s announcement will further damage already fragile demand.
“The Government must now bring forward a comprehensive plan for the next six months that provides certainty, stability and confidence including targeted support for critical sectors. We must ensure that our great manufacturers can survive the coming challenges and be in a position to help drive the recovery when it comes.”
Tony Danker, CBI director-general, added: “It is absolutely essential that we all put the health of our citizens first, and businesses will continue to step up in the national interest to support the NHS, employees and customers in the weeks ahead.
“In tandem we need to acknowledge that the economic impact of these new restrictions is significant.
“There are now a number of imperatives for government to support business.
“First, ensuring firms have the cashflow to make it through. Extending existing support has helped, but a broader range of measures will need to tackle this further hit to revenues.
“Second, the government must review and plug any coverage gaps from existing support that are now further exposed, for example in supply chains.
“And third, firms must have a clear line of sight and assurance that support will be there for as long as restrictions are in place so that they can stay the course rather than act precipitously.
“Meanwhile, British business stands ready to play its full part in the vaccine roll-out, increasing mass rapid testing and acting flexibly to support employees with caring responsibilities, while being attentive to the mental health of millions of employees."

New laws give union bosses power over public schools
House Republican Leader Matt Hall today blasted extreme new laws passed by Democrats that will expand the power of unions over Michigan’s public schools.
The radical changes, passed by the Democrat Legislature along party lines and signed into law today by the governor, eliminate a wide variety of protections for students that ensure union bosses don’t wield heavy-handed influence over key school decisions.
“As they hand out favors and power to their union boss allies, Michigan Democrats are continuing to undermine public education and put the needs of students last,” said Hall, R-Richland Township. “Democrats are dismantling accountability metrics that help parents and teachers keep kids on track. They’re choosing pork over students in their wasteful budget. And now they’re giving union bosses free rein to lord over the most important decisions at our schools. Teacher placement, performance evaluations, and communication with parents are all vital to creating an effective learning environment and fostering good working relationships with families. These calls shouldn’t be made by self-serving union bosses. They should be made by administrators and elected school boards who answer to parents and the local community.”
House Bills 4233, 4354, and 4820, signed into law today, will enable union bosses to bargain over key school decisions and take power away from elected school boards and parents. The bills would repeal provisions of Michigan law that require certain school personnel decisions to focus on retaining effective teachers. Additionally, unions would have a say in teacher evaluations, classroom observations, employee discipline, teacher placement, parental notification about ineffective teachers, and more. The legislation would also let public schools use taxpayer funding to help unions collect dues from employees.
Democrats passed the radical bills in the face of opposition from school leaders and education groups. The Michigan Association of School Boards, Michigan Association of Superintendents and Administrators, Michigan Association of Intermediate School Administrators, Michigan Association of Secondary School Principals, K-12 Alliance of Michigan, Michigan Alliance for Student Opportunity, Detroit Public Schools Community District, and many other school districts and organizations opposed HB 4354 — the main bill opening key decisions up to bargaining by union bosses.
“This year, the Democrat majority has been consumed with an extreme agenda that is making life more expensive in our state, but even more costs on Michiganders are coming next,” said Hall, R-Richland Township.
“Democrats are throwing out local control to force solar panels all over our small towns and windmills all over our farmland, and they’re doing it just to make a few activists happy,” Hall said. “The people I talk to are concerned about recent power outages, and they’re concerned about their monthly bills. The Democrat plan does nothing to solve those problems.”
“These numbers reveal that people don’t want to start or raise their families in Michigan, as they move to states with lower taxes, high-paying careers, good roads and bridges, quality education, and safe communities,” Hall said.

CRN: FDA holds ‘legally invalid’ position on NAC in dietary supplementsCRN: FDA holds ‘legally invalid’ position on NAC in dietary supplements
In a letter to FDA, a trade organization laid out several arguments to refute the agency's position that a widely sold ingredient doesn't belong in dietary supplements.
December 8, 2020
A trade association in the nation’s capital has urged FDA to reverse its position that manufacturers are barred from marketing products containing N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC) as dietary supplements.
In a Dec. 4 letter addressed to Steven Tave, director of FDA’s Office of Dietary Supplement Programs (ODSP), the Council for Responsible Nutrition (CRN) described the agency’s position as “legally invalid.” CRN also sent the letter to Douglas Stearn, deputy director for regulatory affairs with FDA's Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition (CFSAN).
Through warning letters sent in late July to companies selling products that purportedly claimed to cure, treat, mitigate or prevent hangovers, FDA stated NAC was approved as a drug in 1963. Consequently, the agency explained, products containing the ingredient are excluded from the definition of a dietary supplement under section 201(ff)(3)(B)(i) of the Federal Food, Drug & Cosmetic Act (FDCA).
The warning letters caused concerns in the dietary supplement industry because, in part, NAC-containing supplements are widely sold in the U.S.
“CRN is firmly committed to protecting our members’ interest in this matter to sell a lawful ingredient,” Steve Mister, president and CEO of CRN, said in an email for this story. “FDA’s warning letters on NAC issued earlier this year are not final agency actions, but rather should be viewed as the opening salvo, inviting those with sound legal arguments to respond and present an opposing point of view, which we are doing. CRN is optimistic that FDA will closely consider the legal argumentation we have laid out and evaluate its initial position regarding NAC in light of these arguments.”
Mister and CRN’s vice president and associate general counsel, Megan Olsen, laid out several arguments in their letter to Tave. For starters, they argued FDA’s records fail to reliably show the relevant section of the FDCA applies to NAC. In searching for the NAC drug FDA reported was approved in 1963, CRN obtained a letter through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request.
“The letter contains what appears to be a handwritten approval date of 1963,” CRN’s representatives wrote to Tave. “This handwritten notation raises a number of questions about the reliability of this record, not the least of which is whether the approval date was actually 1963 or sometime later, why was the approval data handwritten, when was the notation made, and who made it. This is not the type of document that should be regarded as authentic.”
The document obtained by CRN shows the 1963 approval was for an inhaled drug. But CRN’s representatives said section 201(ff)(3)(B)(i) of the FDCA only applies if the ingredient in the dietary supplement is the same “article” as the approved drug.
FDA should not treat an inhaled substance the same article as an orally consumed substance because doing so would conflict with the agency’s “own significant precedent and guidance,” Mister and Olsen asserted.
“For example, for drug approval, FDA would not consider an inhaled drug to be ‘the same’ as an orally ingested drug,” since FDA considers—among other requirements—“the route of administration and dosage form,” they added.
“Further, a dietary supplement, by definition, must be ‘a product that …. is intended for ingestion,’” Mister and Olsen wrote. “Because of this limitation, a dietary supplement would, by its very nature, differ significantly in the route of administration and dosage form from an inhaled drug. Such significant differences, which will affect a substance’s impact on the human body, must preclude an inhaled ingredient from being considered the same ‘article’ as an orally ingested ingredient.”
Records suggest FDA didn’t approve an NAC drug “for oral use only until 2016, well after dietary supplement companies had been marketing NAC as a supplement,” CRN’s letter stated. According to the “Orange Book,” which identifies drugs approved by FDA, NAC drugs were approved for inhalation and oral use as early as 1982, the trade association acknowledged.
Mister and Olsen, however, suggested it wasn’t until August 1994 that FDA approved an NAC drug for inhalation and oral use that hasn’t been discontinued. They questioned whether such “inhaled/oral drugs could even be considered the same ‘article’ as NAC used in a dietary supplement due to their dual route of exposure; and (2) whether the approval data of discontinued drugs should be used to determine the date of preclusion for dietary supplement use.”
FDA’s interpretation of section 201(ff)(3)(B)(i) in the warning letters also conflicts with “the presumption against statutory retroactivity,” according to CRN. Mister and Olsen highlighted “a well-established canon of statutory interpretation that legislation shall not be read to have a retroactive effect on private rights unless Congress expresses a clear, unambiguous intent to the contrary.”
Section 201(ff)(3)(B)(i) was incorporated in the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 (DSHEA), which went into effect on Oct. 25, 1994.
According to CRN, the exclusionary provision should be not be interpreted to apply to products containing articles approved as drugs before Oct. 25, 1994 because DSHEA’s text and the provision’s legislative history suggests “Congress expressed no clear intent for this provision to have a retroactive effect.
“Further, Congress created section 201(ff)(3)(B)(i) to protect commercial interests necessary to incentivize new drug development in the wake of DSHEA’s enactment,” Mister and Olsen explained in the letter to Tave. “A retroactive application of this section does nothing to incentivize new drug development because drugs and supplements that were both on the market prior to DSHEA’s passage already co-existed and drug companies developed these products with no expectation of DSHEA’s protections.”
‘Arbitrary and capricious’
CRN argued FDA has failed to sufficiently explain its policy change, rendering it arbitrary and capricious. According to the trade association, prior to the July 2020 warning letters, “it was FDA’s longstanding policy to permit the marketing of dietary supplements containing NAC.”
For instance, the agency never raised the drug exclusion clause in its review of more than 100 notifications of structure/function claims for NAC-containing supplements; FDA also stated NAC is a dietary supplement in its response to a petition for a qualified health claim, the trade group pointed out.
“In response to the extensive history of NAC being treated by FDA as a dietary supplement, manufacturers have invested substantial resources to develop hundreds of such products, and thousands of consumers have come to rely on such products to meet their daily nutritional needs,” Mister and Olsen proclaimed. “Now, FDA has decided to not only change its decades-long policy, but to do so through the issuance of warning letters that fail to provide any reasonable explanation for this consequential policy shift.”
Finally, CRN maintained FDA is barred from its enforcing its NAC policy due to the “equitable defense of laches.”
“The defense requires proof of (1) lack of diligence by the party against whom the defense is asserted, and (2) prejudice to the party asserting the defense,” the U.S. Supreme Court held in a 1963 case, Costello v. United States.
According to CRN’s representatives, FDA exhibited a lack of diligence through its “decades-long delay in bringing enforcement action against manufacturers of dietary supplements containing NAC.” Such delay, they asserted, will produce “extreme economic consequences” for manufacturers that have invested in producing NAC-containing supplements.
“These expectation-backed investments have led to the development of hundreds of products that will be affected by FDA’s new policy—products that manufacturers would not have developed had FDA taken prompt enforcement action,” Mister and Olsen wrote to Tave.
An FDA spokeswoman, Lindsay Haake, said FDA has received CRN’s letter and is reviewing it carefully.
In an interview this summer, FDA employees addressed some of the criticisms previously raised by CRN. For instance:
Tave said FDA’s warning letters simply reiterate its previous conclusions that NAC is excluded from the definition of a supplement. FDA’s position that NAC is excluded from the definition of a dietary supplement was revealed in a 2010 letter in response to a new dietary ingredient notification, although the agency said at the time that NAC was first approved as a drug in 1985, not 1963.
FDA’s response to the qualified health claim was issued by an office other than ODSP—the Office of Nutrition and Food Labeling, which, according to FDA, does not have authority over what is or is not a permissible dietary ingredient.
“Qualified health claims are reviewed under a different process by a different office,” Tave said. “Absolutely, people should expect FDA to be internally consistent, but it’s also possible that the people who were reviewing the evidence and whether or not it supported the claim weren’t aware of this issue.”
FDA’s review of S/F claim notifications “is generally limited to the text of the claim itself,” according to Haake, the FDA spokesperson.
“Although we occasionally note obvious issues in courtesy letters responding to S/F notifications, it is not our normal process to evaluate issues such as ingredient qualification,” she said via email. “The absence of a response to a S/F notification does not mean anything more than that we have not objected to the specific S/F claim about which we are being notified.”

Instead of packing it in for the winter, a new farmers' market in Quispamsis is heading indoors as the colder weather draws near.
Beginning on Sunday, vendors with the Quispamsis Farmers Market are moving into the Qplex, after spending the summer and fall in the arts and culture park behind town hall, said Andrew Ryder, a co-founder.
"We had a great season," said Ryder, who launched the market in June with his wife, Isabel. "The most vendors we had one day was 56, which is amazing when you figure we just opened on Father's Day."
The market at the Qplex will run from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sundays. There will also be a $2 charge to enter, which covers the cost of renting the facility. COVID-19 rules, such as proof of full vaccination and mask-wearing, will apply.
"We're hoping to have enough interest that we continue through the whole winter and then in May, we go back outside," said Ryder. "If anyone is looking to become a vendor, they can always contact us."
Many of the same vendors from the outdoor market will be selling their wares once moving inside. The Sugar Spider, which sells decadent treats, and the craft vendor, Stacey's Creations, are some examples of market staples over the past several months, Ryder said.
The Ryders are the same people behind the Dominion Park Farmers Market in Saint John, which launched in August. That market also recently moved indoors at the Dennis Morris Community Centre due to the cooler fall weather.
The husband-and-wife duo has plans to open a second market in Saint John next year. Ryder said they've met with representatives from Exhibition Park, and are working toward bringing a farmers' market to the Saint John Exhibition.
Ryder has said the pandemic has created an increased demand for local food and products, making farmers' markets a good business to get into right now.
In Quispamsis, residents seem happy to have a farmers' market within walking distance in the town, said Mayor Libby O'Hara.
"It's a way for people within our community to bring their wares and have a place to sell them," O'Hara said. "It draws the community together, so I think it's a win-win when we have the space available, and we have the people with the interest."

Skip to comments.10 Obamacare Facts You Need to Know After 5 Months
Posted on 03/02/2014 7:07:11 AM PST by iowamark
It may be hard to believe, but today marks the five-month mark since Obamacare's state and federally run health exchange marketplaces went live...
Here are the 10 Obamacare facts that really matter after the first five months.
1. Obamacare enrollment has crossed the 4 million person mark..
2. Too few young people are still signing up.
3. Obamacare is failing to court another crucial group.
4. Most insurers are losing money from Obamacare -- and that's OK.
5. Silver and bronze plans were even more popular last month.
6. Gulf Coast enrollment is soaring while Nevada and Hawaii are lagging way behind.
7. Obamacare could translate into 2.5 million lost jobs by 2024. In early February the Congressional Budget Office came out with its latest Budget and Economic Outlook Report which notes that the Affordable Care Act will cause a reduction in workers' hours that will cost the equivalent of 2.5 million jobs by 2024. I believe part of this statement is correct in that the ACA is only exacerbating a push toward increasing job specialization thanks to an ongoing technology revolution and pushing those who lack a high degree of specialization into part-time roles. However, we also have to consider that this reduction in hours for non-specialized workers is also creating increased job security for those workers who do have a high degree of specialization.
8. Disapproval of the law is still near or at an all-time high.
9. Delays are hurting the credibility of Obamacare's remaining deadlines.
10. March 31 remains the only deadline you need to be concerned with.
(Excerpt) Read more at fool.com ...
Those guys are still around? Are they worth reading these days?
Just asking, because I read a lot of investment/precious metals publications...
1) Enrollment is nowhere near the 4M mark.
2) Pre ACA insurers operated a 5-8% profit margin. Losing money is not “OK”, you idiots.
QUOTING 2008 OBAMA: "No. 1, let me just repeat, if youve got a health care plan that you like, you can keep it. All Im going to do is help you to lower the premiums on it. Youll still have choice of doctor.
Repeated over and over ---- with the promise that every American family would be saving $2500.00 on healthcare costs.
Significantly, Obamba NEVER corrected lock-stepping Democrats, all reading from the same Democrat talking points, all of them repeating the same Democrat promises---over and over again.
LOCK-STEPPING PARTY LOYALTY NOT SEEN SINCE 1930- 40's ERA EUROPE Obama And The Dems marched in lockstep. The persistent Dumbocrat drumbeat ---- in obeisance to Obama ---- kept ringing reassuringly in our ears: "If you like your plan, you can keep your plan."
FASHION NOTE--What the quintessential loyal
lock-stepping Democrat is wearing this election
DNC-ISSUE BROWN SHIRTS.
Once again a plan aimed at helping the poor only helps the rich to take more money from the middle class.
2) Pre ACA insurers operated a 5-8% profit margin. Losing money is not OK, you idiots.
I took the “and that’s ok” as sarcasm referencing the built-in bailout of the insurers by the government. This bailout will mark the de facto take-over of the insurance industry by the government. It will mark the inception of governmental control while allowing the *owners* to reap financial benefits. True Fascism.
By allowing *profits*, the regime also protects the unions and pension funds invested in the insurance industry. Win-win for all the supporters of the regime and for the regime, itself.
As to the number of the enrolled, no one cares. The important fact is who controls the system.
If you start a business with 50 people and you do not have healthcare you will get a $100,000 fine on DAY ONE
Agree with your assessment.
For firms that do offer insurance, the penalty is the lesser of $2,000 for every employee (after exempting the first 30) or $3,000) for every employee receiving a subsidy.
They made profits! Don’t you get? Now it’s time to “give back.”
Those “I’m covered” commercials are on local tv constantly.
Definitely raise my blood pressure about 20 points...
I posted this on fool.com:
The numbers in their report are the unvarnished propaganda numbers reported by the obama administration and which have already been declared flat out lies by the Washington Post fact checker. Here are the problems with those numbers:
1. The bulk of those signups are simply routine annual Medicaid renewals that occur every year, even without obamacare.
2. The rest are a count of those who merely put a plan in a checkout cart on healthcare.gov, and obama refuses to release the number of those who actually bought a plan by actually checking out and paying the first month’s premium.
3. Of those that actually DID buy a plan almost all are buying replacement insurance for BETTER and less expensive plans cancelled because they did not meet the regulatory requirements of obamacare.
4. The number of actual uninsured prior to obamacare who signed up for a non-medicaid plan is very small.
5. There are now MORE people who are uninsured than there were before obamacare BECAUSE of obamacare.
This article is nothing more than a repetition of the propaganda lies being promulgated by the obama administration. I’m surprised they didn’t repeat Harry Reid’s and Chuck Schummer’s recent declaration that EVERYONE who has been claiming they have been hurt by obamacare is lying, every last one of them!
I think they say “Losing money is OK” only because they know that Øbongo will underwrite their losses - with taxpayer monies of course.
Motley Fool was, at its height, a rather fad show on the investment scene. It’s now just an afterthought full of “captain obvious” moments and “mehs”.
So it is actually less than 28 hours/week to avoid being a full time employee.

I came down for the open evening this evening and had a lovely tour with Rian (hope I spelled that right - many thanks for your time). I loved the atmosphere and community spirit. It would be amazing to have a bench to work on some woodwork projects and develop new skills - top of the list is learning about cnc and laser cutting.
Look forward to seeing some of you when I come off the waiting list!
all the best,
Kicking myself for not coming down sooner!
Hopefully you won’t be on the waiting list for too long.

By the early 1900s all had been absorbed by the Boston & Maine Railroad.Keene was home to a railroad shop complex and two railroad yards. But Blount's plan fell through and, after one operating season in Keene, the museum was relocated to nearby Bellows Falls, Vermont.Keene is entirely within the Connecticut River watershed, with all of the city except for the northwest corner draining to the Connecticut via the Ashuelot.State highways converge on Keene from nine directions.Passenger decline and track conditions forced the Green Mountain to end service on the Ashuelot Branch in 1983 and return operating rights to the B&M.
Keene became a manufacturing center for wooden-ware, pails, chairs, sashes, shutters, doors, pottery, glass, soap, woolen textiles, shoes, saddles, mowing machines, carriages and sleighs. Keene was incorporated as a city in 1874, and by 1880 had a population of 6,784.

In 1747, during King George's War, the village was attacked and burned by Natives.
Keene's manufacturing success was brought on in part by its importance as a railroad city.
An example is the Keene Public Library, which occupies a Second Empire mansion built about 1869 by manufacturer Henry Colony.

A magneto-rheological (MR) damper provides a higher than minimum level of damping when a power source to the MR damper is not supplying a control current. The present invention damper includes magnets positioned to direct a magnetic flux across a MR fluid path. The fluid path is created when a rod and piston assembly stroke the fluid though a control valve assembly attached to a damper chamber causing a resistance to MR fluid flow. An electric coil cancels an effect of the permanent magnets when the control current is available to allow a control circuit more operating range. The permanent magnets allow for damping when no control current is available.
1. A magnetorheological (MR) damper assembly comprising
a housing with a first end and a second end;
a piston attached to a rod,

This invention relates generally to a damper for use between corresponding parts as in a vehicle suspension application. In particular the invention deals with magneto-rheological fluid dampers and their ability to provide dampening characteristics in various power states.
Traditionally, a damper such as a shock absorber or a strut, is installed between corresponding parts where motion in a first part is to be damped in reference to a second part. A traditional damper consists of a body and a piston attached to a rod. The body has a smooth cylindrical interior surface and has an attachment feature at a closed end. The piston slides on the interior surface of the body, and the rod projects out an open end of the body. The open end where the rod projects is sealed around the rod, allowing only the rod to slide in and out of the body. An end of the rod outside the body has an attachment feature. Sealed inside the body is a liquid used as a damping fluid. Also, inside the damper body is a sliding piston that contains a volume of pressurized gas used to allow for fluid volume changes. In use, the attachment features of the rod and the closed end of the body are attached between parts to be damped such as between an automotive frame and a movable part of an automotive suspension. When the parts move, the damper strokes or changes length by the rod and piston moving within the body of the damper. When a force from the parts is applied to the damper, the force is transmitted to the damping fluid forcing the fluid through a restriction mechanism, thereby damping the parts. In magneto-rheological (MR) dampers, MR fluid (fluid containing iron particles) is used and the damping restriction mechanism is a magnetic flux established in the MR fluid. The magnetic flux is generated by electric coils with the level of damping generally proportional to the amount of electric current supplied to the coil. If no current is supplied to the damper coil, damping is at a minimum level. This presents obvious problems in that a current must be constantly supplied to the damper in order to provide a greater than minimum dampening effect by the MR damper.
Thus, what is desired is a MR damper that will provide a greater than minimum level of dampening when the power source is off.
The present invention is a MR damper that provides a higher than minimum level of damping when a power source to the MR damper is not supplying a control current. The damper of the present invention includes permanent magnets positioned to direct a magnetic flux across a MR fluid path causing a resistance to MR fluid flow. An electric coil cancels an affect of the permanent magnets when the control current is available to allow a control circuit more operating range. The permanent magnets allow for damping when no control current is available.
The various features and advantages of this invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art from the following detailed description of the presently preferred embodiment. The drawings that accompany the detailed description are described as follows:
FIG. 1 is a perspective top view of a damper assembly of the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view along line A—A of FIG. 1; and
FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of a control valve assembly of the present invention.
In FIG. 1 a magneto-rheological (MR) damper assembly of the present invention is shown generally at 10. The MR damper assembly comprises a cylindrical housing 12, a rod 14 exiting a first end 16 of the housing 12, and an attachment assembly 18 exiting a second end 20 of the housing 12.
In FIG. 2, a cross section of the MR damper assembly 10 is shown. The MR damper assembly 10 is comprised of a rod 14 attached to a piston 24 and a gas cup 26. The interior chamber 15 is filled with MR fluid. An area 27 partitioned by the gas cup 26 contains a pressurized gas. The gas cup 26 and pressurized gas allow for fluid volume changes due to thermal expansion and displacement due to rod 14 movement. As will be appreciated by those skilled in the art, the piston 24 has no control valving. The damper assembly 10 is configured so that a stroking of the rod 14 and the piston 24 forces fluid through a side mounted control valve 36. When the rod 14 is moved or stroked out of the assembly 10 (a rebound stroke), MR fluid above the piston 24 flows through an orifice 28 to a passage 17 between a first tube 32 and a second tube 30, and through an orifice 34 to the control valve 36. Fluid is routed through the control valve 36 and returns to a lower damper chamber 38 through an orifice 40. The fluid continues through a passage 41 in a piston stop 42 to an area 44 under the piston 24. Flow is reverse to this process during a compression stroke.
In the control valve 36, fluid is routed past a magnetic core 46. Normal damping control is provided by a plurality of coils 48 located on the core 46. The coils 48 setup magnetic fields in the core 46 and in a baffle 50 that also controls the fluid flow path in the control valve 36. The magnetic fields restrain the flow of MR fluid flowing along the core 46 and thereby provide damping control.
In FIG. 3 a section of the control valve 36 is shown in closer detail. A power off control assembly, shown generally at 52, is mounted on the core 46. The power off control assembly 52 comprises a coil 54, two ring shaped permanent magnets 56, 58, and two magnetic shields 60, 62. Alternatively, the shields 60, 62 may be absent from the assembly. The permanent magnets 56, 58 are magnetized radially so that a flux path is setup as shown by the phantom arrow at 64. The permanent magnets 56, 58 and associated flux provides flow restriction or resistance without electrical power being supplied.
During powered operation of the damper assembly 10 as shown in FIG. 1, current is supplied to the coil 54 so that a field is created to reduce the effects of the field 64 setup by the permanent magnets 56, 58 and allow the other coils 48, as shown in FIG. 2, along the core 46 to control damping. The magnetic shields 60, 62 are constructed of a magnetically inert material such as aluminum, plastic or stainless steel, and reduce the flux shorting effects of having permanent magnets 56, 58 installed against an core 46 that is constructed of iron and is magnetically soft. Electrical connections (not shown) for the coils 48 and 54 are contained in the core 46.
The coil 54 that reduces the damping of the damper assembly 10 is dependent on power supplied by a circuit that provides a controlled damping current. Whereby, when there is no power being supplied to the control valve 36, the power off control assembly 52 will be active.
This invention has been described in an illustrative manner, and it is to be understood that the terminology that has been used is intended to be in the nature of words of description rather than of limitation. Obviously, many modifications and variations of the present invention are possible in light of the above teachings. It is, therefore, to be understood that within the scope of the appended claims the invention may be practiced otherwise than as specifically described.
