Veep did not receive low reception in the North - Botwe The entire township of Salaga, an ancient slave market, was thrown into a state of ecstasy and hilarity when the Vice President, Alhaji Aliu Mahama, arrived in the company of Hon Boniface Abubakar Saddique, Member of Parliament for the area, to inaugurate a shea-butter factory. Hon Saddique is the Deputy Minister for Tourism and Modernization of the capital city. The visit was part of the Vice President's tour of the Northern Region, last week. On arrival at Salaga, Kpembe to be precise, to attend a durbar, the enthusiastic youth who were at the durbar, carried high the MP, Hon Saddique, chanting, “Boni oo Boni”, “Boni oo Boni”, while they danced and drummed. The durbar grounds became very misty with the dust which emanated from the dancing feet of the youth who joyously sang New Patriotic Party (NPP) songs, and stamped their feet to jubilate. It was almost as if the Vice President and his entourage had been ignored. To the people at the durbar grounds, Boniface Saddique was all they wanted to see, and more so, in the company of the Vice President. After the jubilants were exhausted, they settled down for the programme, drawn up for the durbar to take place as scheduled. They, nonetheless, shouted and clapped at every mention of the name of the MP by any of the speakers at the function. The Vice President who looked much excited, showed his appreciation to the people for the support they have given the NPP Administration.

Why Donald Trump is Still Leading
by Benjamin Studebaker
Over the last week, Donald Trump‘s presidential campaign has taken a dark, foreboding tone. First, he discussed with a reporter the possibility that he might watch mosques and consider shutting some of them down:
Well, I would hate to do it [shut down mosques] but it’s something you’re going to have to strongly consider.
I want surveillance of certain mosques if that’s OK. We’ve had it before.
You’re going to have to watch and study the mosques. Because a lot of talk is going on at the mosques…Under the old regime [Bush administration] we had tremendous surveillance going around and in the mosques in New York City.
And then later in the week, Trump suggested that a black lives matter activist who disrupted one of his rallies deserved to be “roughed up”. Perhaps in the coming days we’ll see Trump’s numbers fall, but so far he continues to maintain his lead:
In 2012, 2008, 2004, 2000, or 1996, this stuff would not fly and Trump would be done. What’s going on? Why is he still here?
To this point, I’ve been relatively unconcerned by Trump–I was quick to point out that on a number of issues Trump is considerably more reasonable than many other republican candidates. He was against the Iraq War in 2003, he has supported single payer healthcare in the past, and he supports campaign finance reform. That said, his tax system is bonkers and his immigration policies are deeply misguided. But in any case, he’s unlikely to win a general election, and if he were to do so he would immediately find himself stifled by congress and the courts. The American political system is very good at preventing politicians from getting things done.
But that’s part of why Trump remains so popular, isn’t it? Trump says he will get things done, and he implies that he will do this is by disregarding the norms and rules of politics. Trump will say the things other people won’t say, and he’ll do the things that other people won’t do. He’s necessary because “our leaders are stupid, our politicians are stupid”:
Trump is tapping into broad dissatisfaction with the political system:
He’s not the only one–Ben Carson taps into this too, as does Bernie Sanders on the left. But the way Trump does it is different. Bernie Sanders wants a political revolution from within. He wants to see a massive boost in voter turnout elect not only himself but many people who will support his policies in congress. Bernie Sanders channels hostility toward government policy, but he has spent his entire political career trying to fix the system from within. Trump wants to run the government the same way he runs the Trump organization–with himself alone at the top answering to no one, certainly not the stupid politicians. He will say and do whatever he deems necessary to get his way, precedent be damned. Carson would like to do what Trump does, but Carson doesn’t quite have the polish to pull it off. He’s much less comfortable dealing with the press and much less effective in his use of TV and social media. Carson is a genuine political outsider, he doesn’t really know what he’s doing and that’s catching up with him. Trump has spent his entire life in front of cameras, manipulating the press and his various business associates. Trump knows exactly what he is doing.
The American people remain committed to democracy in principle, but in practice we have very little confidence in the actual institutions that make up democracy. There is more and more support out there for politicians who will disregard those institutions and take actions that deeply undermine them. You can attract support by promising to use legislative tricks to shut the government down (Cruz), you can do it by promising to nullify the decisions of the judiciary (Huckabee), you can do it by overriding congress with executive orders of dubious legal standing (Obama), and so on. But Trump has found the ultimate trump card–he implies that he will do away with stupid politicians altogether. He doesn’t make it explicit, and he certainly doesn’t explain how. Whenever you ask him, he gets very vague. “We need good management.” “We need to be smart”. “We need the art of the deal.” What does all of this mean? Trump doesn’t promise to work with anyone to govern by consensus or compromise. He implies he’s willing to break the system, without explicitly saying so. The public would not tolerate a politician who was explicitly against the political system, but it is happy to embrace a politician who consistently mocks it, who shows no respect or regard for its institutions or norms of conduct.
I don’t like making Nazi comparisons–they’re emotionally charged and often highly unfair. But in the last week, the things Trump has been saying are eerily reminiscent of the kinds of things that right authoritarian politicians claim when they are trying to win a democratic election for the purposes of doing away with that system. There’s a group that is demonized (immigrants and Muslims), there are draconian policies to deal with the “problem” group (the wall, the database, the ID cards, surveillance, closing mosques), the politicians who disagree are accused of ignoring reality, and ordinary folks who disagree are condemned as troublemakers or enemy sympathizers who ought to be “roughed up”.
Right authoritarian politicians emerge in democracies when there is a group of people who feel that the democratic system exists to take things away from them and give those things to other people. During the Obama administration, the Republican Party has consistently nurtured this belief among its supporters–that the government and the democrats want to take things from them and give this “free stuff” to “those people” (the poor, the blacks, the immigrants, the Muslims). When Mitt Romney said that his party is going up against “the 47%” who do not pay income tax, the implication is that politics is a class war between the Americans who work hard and have stuff and the Americans who are lazy and take things. The republicans were overwhelmingly confident that they were going to win in 2012. When they lost, the implication was that there are too many “useful idiots”–those willing to help the 47% take things–for the republicans to take the presidency. And while some republicans believe that 2016 will be different, there’s a chunk of these people for whom 2012 established more deeply than ever that the only way to stop the 47% from taking their stuff is to use all available means. On internet forums, these people contemplate armed rebellion, they stockpile gold, and they look for a great leader who can protect them from the left. This chunk of republicans believe that their country and its values are under attack, that they themselves are going to be expropriated by a government permanently captured by socialists. Fox News, conservative talk radio, and the Republican Party itself have all deliberately fed into these fears to mobilize support for republican candidates. As time progresses, these people grow steadily more desperate and steadily more willing to do things that most of us would consider unthinkable. They believe that Donald Trump is their guy.
Is he? Maybe, maybe not. But he sure knows how to use them. And the trouble with using these people like this is that you cannot use them without creating more of them and without making the ones we already have more reactionary and extreme over time. We don’t have a draft anymore–our military is all-volunteer, and because much of the left disdains the armed forces, reactionaries are over-represented in the military. As time progresses and the Republican Party continues to encourage this zero sum view, they are inadvertently potentially creating a situation in which our state could be captured by right wing authoritarians, either through the election of a figure like Trump or through a military coup.
While folks like Hillary Clinton and Jeb Bush pretend it’s 1996, our political system is devolving in dangerous and sinister ways. Donald Trump may personally turn out to be harmless, but his supporters are anything but. It probably won’t be this year or this election, but every four years these people seem to be stronger and more influential in the Republican Party. If we continue down this path, we may live to regret it.
As Kurt Vonnegut said in his last address to the students at Ohio State, “The only difference between Bush and Hitler is that Hitler was elected.” http://freepress.org/columns/display/7/2006/1326
Four quick thoughts inspired by your very interesting essay of angst.
1. On the sunny side, it’s reassuring to appreciate that the U.S. has been through bitter partisan divides like this before. Just a couple of examples are:
(a) The 1800 presidential election, during which Jeffersonians claimed Federalists were over-educated elitists while Federalists countered that Jeffersonians were ignorant Francophiles who preferred the emotional chaos of mob rule to reason and the rule of law. It was said feelings ran so high in this early era a Federalist would cross the street rather than pass by a known Jeffersonian and a Jeffersonian would sooner club the Federalist in the head than pass him by.
(b) The Jacksonian revolution triggered by the election of 1828, which led to over a decade of basically one-party rule, accompanied by increasingly violent clashes between “whole hog” Democrats who accused their opponents (often called “milk and cider” Democrats, later Whigs) of being hateful elitists while the opposition labeled whole hog Jacksonians as “loco foco” for being utterly stupid, uneducated, and incompetent. Murders among opposing voters were not uncommon. Congressman shot one another in duels.
2. On the dark side, there is the run-up to Civil War, which gained added steam beginning in 1852 with widespread aggressive attempts by Southerners to enforce new Fugitive Slave acts, often by stealing any dark-skinned person they ran across on the pretext he/she was a slave, and Northern efforts to resist those same federal laws by every means, lawful and otherwise. We know how that ended. (If, indeed, it has ended.)
3. Among the poll-leading GOP presidential candidates there is not one who is sufficiently knowledgeable or intelligent enough to fill a high public office, never mind the presidency. But we’ve survived incredibly stupid or uninformed presidents before. (Warren G. Harding and Ronald Reagan spring to mind).
4. But the one who scares me the most currently is a U.S. Senator from Texas. It’s not that he’s stupid. It’s that he has repeatedly demonstrated the very thing that you describe about Republican primary voters: he has “steadily” demonstrated on the floor of the Senate that he’s “more willing to do things that most of us would consider unthinkable.”
I don’t want to trigger Godwin’s Law, so I won’t mention the implications.
With the exception of the last 3 words I would say if we continue down this path we may live, period. Otherwise my husband may have to throw a tent over me before I can go out in public. God forbid men control themselves in the company of a woman showing her ankle. Trump gets to the point, and yes there are able bodied people willing to take what other people work for. I really admire you but my guess is as brilliant as you are it is from a sharp quick mind and the luxury of the time to observe. I am a compassionate person and also very observant but my observation point was from the trenches. Makes a big difference. Don’t underestimate Ben Carson’s effectiveness with the media either. Remember the prayer breakfast? Remember the response? Hmmm.
Never underestimate the power of a political figure in a level of influence to empower those who are not under direct control of the government; this is the true power the President of the United States has with the people.
Put another way, though men/women like Trump may be up against a wall with our Legislative/Judicial branches, there’s little Congress and the Supreme court could do to stop people from making their own decisions, without government policies.
As a conservative, it’s disappointing to see Trump take his campaign and bluster to these levels. What’s more disappointing is to see his poll numbers continue to rise. I thought after the first debate that he was through. Now I’m thinking that he’ll be through after the first primary. I’m hopeful my next thought isn’t that he’s only a one term president.

For this portfolio, Aperture has drawn from the Paul Strand Archive some of the most notable images from the photographer’s exemplary career. This selection of hand-pulled, dust-grain photogravures of some of the most influential photographs of the twentieth century were made from the original glass plates in 1973. These works were the subject of a major exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, in February 1998. Printed by master photogravure printer Jon Goodman, and bearing the authorized seal of the Paul Strand Archive, the portfolio is accompanied by a signed text by noted photography critic Ben Lifson and Michael E. Hoffman, former Executive Director of Aperture, and sold in a cloth-covered clamshell case.
Paul Strand (born in New York, 1890; died in Orgeval, France, 1976) was one of the great photographers of the twentieth century. As a youth, he studied under Lewis Hine at the Ethical Culture Fieldston School, going on to draw acclaim from such illustrious sources as Alfred Stieglitz and David Alfaro Siqueiros. After World War II, Strand traveled around the world—from New England to Ghana, France to the Outer Hebrides—to photograph, and in the process created a dynamic and significant body of work.

This morning, ArenaNet released a teaser video for Season 2's Episode 2 – Entanglement, which will go live on Tuesday, July 15. Season 2 started on July 1 with Episode 1, The Gates of Maguuma. With its launch, we declared Guild Wars 2 Week here at Ten Ton Hammer, featuring tons of coverage, first impressions, a contest and anything else Guild Wars 2-related that we could get our hands on in honor of the week.
Looks like our heroes run the risk of being hung up by evil demon weeds. If magic, swords, bravery and gusto don't work, they might want to try white vinegar. White vinegar seems to be able to do anything, so it can probably take care of weeds, too. These demon weeds will be available through a newly revealed area in Dry Top, where you can go join the Living World story's heroes and hope you don't get flailed about and strung up!
Not sure what Season 2 is all about? Our sister site, Guild Wars 2 Hub has you covered. They've been working hard on putting out new content relevant to Season 2 to make sure everyone's on the right track. Between achievement guides, how-tos, critical analysis of new armor and so much more. It shouldn't be surprising that a Guild Wars 2-focused site would have all of this, but since it's part of the Ten Ton Hammer Network, you know that it's quality without any goat sacrifices.
Whether you're rejoining Guild Wars 2 to check out Season 2 or have been romping around in Tyria since day one, you'll want to see what's in the Gates of Maguuma patch notes. Get caught up on what's been going on and what has changed with this patch. It's always good to see what's happening with the class you play before you get into game and need to figure things out, especially if there have been large adjustments.
Guild Wars 2 Hub also has not one, but two achievement guides so far for Season 2. First, you'll want to check out the Complete Dry Top Achievement Guide for working your way through Season 2. If you're the type to consume content as soon as it's available, then you'll be interested in the Gates of Maguuma Elite Achievement Guide. These achievements unlock after you've completed the story the first time through, so even if you do burn through content quickly, you'll have more to work on.
Have you been playing Guild Wars 2 for the Living World seasons? What did you think about Season 1? Are you excited to watch Season 2 unfold? Also, in case you want a better look, here's the lovely picture for the Entanglement promo ArenaNet sent us:
To read the latest guides, news, and features you can visit our Guild Wars 2 Game Page.

Last Tuesday, the Government used its majority in the House of Representatives to pass its Industrial Relations Omnibus Bill.
It is now more important than ever to send a message to the cross-bench senators, who can prevent these damaging attack on workers’ rights from becoming law.
All Australian workers, including those we have relied on to keep us safe during the pandemic, need the protection of our workplace laws.
Yet the Morrison Government is pursuing changes to our laws that would leave workers worse off.
The Government’s changes will weaken workers’ bargaining power, make jobs less secure, and make it easier for employers to casualise jobs.
This is exactly the opposite of what the country needs. If you’re wondering what the Bill means for bargaining or for casual workers, you can get the facts here.
You can also support the campaign by putting up workplace posters on your union notice board.


Utah’s Housing Industry Is Thriving
Keep building houses! That was the message internationally acclaimed economist Eliot Eisenberg recently told a full-capacity room of members of the Utah Valley Home Builders Association. “It’s what keeps housing affordable.”
A former Senior Economist with the National Home Builders Association, Eisenberg praised Utah for its economic stability. “Utah’s population growth is the fifth fastest growing stat in the nation.”That contributes to the need of more homes.
With employment levels the lowest they have been in fifty years, the overall economy is good. Although Eisenburg predicts it won’t last much longer. He sees a mild recession coming soon.
Some indicators he pointed out were some slowing trends in 2018. “Existing home sales have plateaued; the inventory is too small and houses are too expensive,”Eisenberg explained. “Refinancing activity is declining.”
Given this climate, home improvement and repairs are on the rise. Factors that contribute to this increase include low interest rates, lack of inventory and good equity. Adding a little humor he added, “It’s like that song by Crosby, Stills and Nash, ‘Love the One You’re With.’”People are improving the place they already own.
Eisenberg also pointed out other industries on the rise such as cruise passenger growth, hotel occupancy and steady vehicle sales. Manufacturing is down and RV sales are slipping some as well. “Overall, We are okay,”he encouraged members.
“Elliot is one of our most popular guests to come speak to us,”remarked Amber Duffin, director of events for the UVHBA. “I have already scheduled him for next year. He has repeatedly come to Utah to speak to our members for five years now.”
An established authority on the national and global economy and its impact on various industries such as homebuilding, tourism and consequences of government regulation, Eisenberg studied at Syracuse University and lives in Washington, DC. His website is www.econ70.com.

Un album du pianiste canadien Oscar Peterson, considéré comme l'un de ses chefs-d'oeuvre. On le retrouve dans sa formule fétiche du trio (en compagnie du batteur Ed Thigpen qui a succédé au guitariste Herb Ellis en 1958 et de son contrebassiste Ray Brown) pour une série de compositions aérées et acérées dans lesquelles s'intercalent d'heureuses reprises de Duke Ellington ou Count Basie. Peterson est leader et cela s'entend : l'architecture des compositions tourne autour des parties dynamiques de son jeu, caractérisé par un "swing" irrésistible. On lui a parfois reproché quelques "clichés" convenus dans sa pratique, mettant plus en oeuvre un sens du "drive" qu'une sensibilité réelle. Ses détracteurs doivent malgré tout convenir que Peterson menait son exécution avec une précision d'attaque et articulation proprement ahurissantes. Quant à la sensibilité, elle est ici réelle et palpable : le pianiste misait son jeu autant sur les harmonies que sur les mélodies. --Eric Frank
What Other Items Do Customers Buy After Viewing This Item?
Top Customer Reviews
This album is wonderfully appealing and, could be a great place to start with Oscar if you aren't yet acquainted with his music.
I love every track [but only have the original CD], and appreciate the variety on the recording, from C Jam Blueswith its distinctive percussion and piano and double bass solos, to slow ballads like Hymn To Freedom and Things Ain't What They Used To Be through rollicking songs like Night Train and Moten Swing.
Another terrific album is Tracks, which is one of few solo recordings.
Even if you aren't a jazz fan (or if you are looking to get into jazz) you should enjoy this. It's hard not to. It really swings. I would defy anybody not to be tapping along pretty much the minute "Happy Go Lucky Local" kicks in. The whe whole album has a great bluesy feel to it. You also get a number of extra tracks on the end of the album, none of which are up to the standards of the original cuts (which themselves set a very high standard to live up to) but which are interesting and add value to the package. It's also an excellent showcase for Peterson's piano-bass-drum trio, with Ed Thigpen on drums replacing Herb Ellis's guitar.
This is a classic jazz album in its own right. It's also a great jazz album for people who don't like jazz. Just get it.
The bonus tracks? I don't like to complain about getting something for nothing, but it would not be hard to argue that the original album is a classic that needed no embellishment. Even with lesser songs, Peterson turns in a convincing performance and these pass muster. 'Now's the Time' is an amazing bit of keyboard athleticism -- a performance more worthy than the tune. 'This Could Be the Start of Something' is similarly a superior performance of a not-so-superior number.
The jury is still out on Verve's cardboard CD jackets. It looks nice but is destined to fall apart long before the CD fails. Perhaps Verve thought they were doing us a favor. Still a five-star album, but packaging is (a small) part of the equation.
Is it possible to derive greater enjoyment from jazz than this? I ask myself this question every time I listen to this album. It's built like the great pop albums: at the end of each song, you immediately anticipate the start of the next, and experience gleeful pleasure when you hear that piano again.
The trio -one of the most celebrated piano trios in the history of the music- is tight, swinging, exquisitely balanced. Peterson's most personal moment on the album is perhaps the final "Hymn to Freedom". It is such a moving piece I'm often driven to playing it for its own sake, but nothing gives it greater emotional power than the music that precedes it. It's as if the whole album were recorded just to provide a context for "Hymn" to stand out in this way. A jubilant record is closed a with a pensive poem.
The record is dedicated to Peterson's father, a sleeping-car attendant on Canadian Pacific Railways.

Clarksville, TN – In the immediate wake of a devastating tornado, lives have been lost and homes destroyed, but the damage done to a cherished family business has created more strife for two siblings than high-speed winds could ever hope to cause.
“One of the siblings was focused on being out half a million dollars in damages, while the other one was focused more on the sentimental aspect of having their family business destroyed,” Dr. Kim Coggins, Austin Peay State University assistant professor of psychological sciences and counseling, said.
“That personal conflict was going on in the middle of this devastation following a natural disaster. Or at least that’s the scenario that our students came up with for the simulation,” stated Coggins.
Sibling conflict was just one of the scenarios Austin Peay graduate counseling students had to navigate during an interdepartmental simulation exercise designed to prepare future mental health care providers for the kinds of emotional situations they could encounter during a real-world disaster.
“We have been getting feedback from both our former students and employers in the field that our students needed to know more about crisis and trauma interventions before they went into the workforce,” Coggins said. “We added more of a focus on that kind of training in our classwork, but you can read and study things all you want, but until you get a chance to put it into practice, this training doesn’t always make a lot of sense.”
Coggins partnered with Austin Peay Assistant Professor of acting and director Talon Beeson and students from the University’s Department of Theatre and Dance, connecting counseling students in need of experience with acting students looking to hone their improv skills as they played the role of victims gathered at a Red Cross shelter in the aftermath of a natural disaster.
Arriving at the scene after victims have received medical attention, Coggins’ students were tasked with attending to the psychological needs of the men and women. Beeson’s students were given brief backstories, then allowed the freedom to react and evolve their characters on the spot, forcing counseling students to handle the tense and often volatile emotions that can spring up in the wake of disaster.
“This was a good opportunity to see how different the task of counseling can be when you’re not in a quiet room with one client or a family,” Coggins said. “We tried to present students with a scenario where everyone was together in a shelter and there were distractions and people yelling across the aisle at each other; everyone is in play at the same time, and this gave students the chance to develop de-escalation and grounding techniques on people experiencing a lot of major emotions.”
The partnership was mutually beneficial, as Beeson, a working actor before coming to Austin Peay, saw the simulation as a chance to help his own students get experience developing skills that could benefit them after graduation.
“A lot of the students who volunteered for this simulation hadn’t done work like this before, so it was a great chance for them to gain experience doing something that could benefit them in the future as an actor.”
Coggins said the disaster simulation was a success, with plans to offer it in future semesters and, down the road, potentially explore crisis and trauma counseling as a stand-alone course.
“There were calls for mental health professionals after Hurricane Harvey and the wildfires in California, so (trauma counseling) is becoming more of a focus,” Coggins said. “But while our students may never go and intervene in those situations, they will deal with people in crisis situations if they go into working in schools. When a school is impacted by a crisis, they’re going to have to stabilize multiple people at the same time, so knowing the skills they can learn in these disaster simulations put them in a better position to intervene and help.”

This recovery plan will be made available on the World Wide Web at http://www.r1.fws.gov/ecoservices/endangered/recovery/default.htm or http://endangered.fws.gov/recovery/recplans/index.htm.Start Further Info
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Christa Russell, Plant Conservation Program Coordinator, at the above U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Honolulu address.End Further Info End Preamble Start Supplemental Information
Recovery of endangered or threatened animals and plants is a primary goal of our endangered species program. A species is considered recovered when the species' ecosystem is restored and/or threats to the species are removed so that self-sustaining and self-regulating populations of the species can be supported as persistent members of native biotic communities. Recovery plans describe actions considered necessary for the conservation of the species, establish criteria for downlisting or delisting listed species, and estimate the time and cost associated with implementing the measures needed for recovery.
The Endangered Species Act (Act) (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), requires the development of recovery plans for listed species unless such a plan would not promote the conservation of a particular species. Section 4(f) of the Act requires that during recovery plan development, we provide public notice and an opportunity for public review and comment. Information presented during the public comment period has been considered in the preparation of this final addendum, and is summarized in an appendix to the recovery plan. We will forward substantive comments regarding recovery plan implementation to appropriate Federal or other entities so that they can take these comments into account during the course of implementing recovery actions.
This Addendum to the Recovery Plan for the Multi-Island Plants covers 10 plant taxa, all of which are listed as endangered. These 10 Hawaiian plant taxa are endemic to the Maui Nui group of islands in the Hawaiian Islands. This group includes Maui, Molokai, Lanai, and Kahoolawe. Five taxa are endemic to the island of Maui, three taxa are endemic to the island of Lanai, one taxon is endemic to Molokai, and one taxon is endemic to the island of Kahoolawe. The listed plants are: Clermontia samuellii (oha wai), Cyanea copelandii ssp. haleakalaensis (haha), Cyanea glabra (haha), Cyanea hamatiflora ssp. hamatiflora (haha), Dubautia plantaginea ssp. humilis (naenae), Hedyotis schlechtendahliana var. remyi (kopa), Kanaloa kahoolawensis (kohe malama malama o Kanaloa), Labordia tinifolia var. lanaiensis (kamakahala), Labordia triflora (kamakahala), and Melicope munroi (alani).
The 10 taxa included in this addendum grow in a variety of vegetation communities (shrublands and forests), elevational zones (coastal to montane), and moisture regimes (dry to wet). These taxa and their habitats have been variously affected or are currently threatened by one or more of the following: competition for space, light, water, and nutrients by introduced vegetation; habitat degradation by wild, feral or domestic animals (pigs, goats, and deer); predation by animals (deer, pigs, goats, rats, slugs, and insects); substrate loss; and collecting for scientific or horticultural purposes. In addition, due to the small number of existing individuals and their very narrow distributions, these taxa and most of their populations are subject to an increased likelihood of extinction and/or reduced reproductive vigor from naturally occurring events such as hurricanes.
The objective of the addendum to the recovery plan is to provide a framework for the recovery of these 10 taxa so that their protection by the Act is no longer necessary. The interim objective is to stabilize all existing populations of these 10 plants. To be considered stable, each taxon would have to be managed to control threats (e.g., fenced) and be represented in an ex situ (such as a nursery or arboretum) collection. In addition, a minimum total of three populations of each taxon should be documented on the islands where they now occur or occurred historically. Each of these populations would have to be naturally reproducing and increasing in number, with a minimum of 25 mature individuals per population for long-lived perennials (Kanaloa kahoolawensis and Melicope munroi), and a minimum of 50 mature individuals per population for short-lived perennials (Clermontia samuelii, Cyanea copelandii ssp. haleakalaensis, Cyanea glabra, Cyanea hamatiflora ssp. hamatiflora, Dubautia plantaginea, Hedyotis schlechtendahlia var. remyi, Labordia tinifolia var. lanaiensis, and Labordia triflora).
For reclassification to threatened status, a total of five to seven populations of each taxon should be documented on islands where they now occur, or occurred historically. In certain cases, however, a particular taxon could be eligible for reclassification even if all five to seven of the populations are on only one island, provided all of the other recovery criteria have been met, and the populations in question are widely distributed and secure enough that one Start Printed Page 75862might reasonably conclude that the taxon is not in danger of extinction throughout all or a significant part of its range.
Each of these populations would have to be naturally reproducing, stable or increasing in number, and secure from threats, with a minimum of 100 mature individuals per population for long-lived perennials and a minimum of 300 mature individuals per population for short-lived perennials. Each population should persist at this level for a minimum of 5 consecutive years before reclassification is considered. A total of 8 to 10 populations of each taxon should be documented on islands where they now occur or occurred historically. As with reclassification to threatened status, there could be certain cases in which a particular taxon may be eligible for removal from the list even if all 8 to 10 of the populations are on only 1 island, provided all of the other recovery criteria have been met, and the populations in question are widely distributed and secure enough that one might reasonably conclude that the taxon is not in danger of extinction throughout all or a significant part of its range. Each of these populations would have to be naturally reproducing, stable or increasing in number, and secure from threats, with a minimum of 100 mature individuals per population for long-lived perennials and a minimum of 300 mature individuals per population for short-lived perennials. Each population should persist at this level for a minimum of 5 consecutive years.

Five Things to Consider When Buying a Steering Column Dress Up Kit
Are you getting bored with your vehicle's usual appearance? Then you might want to consider spicing up things a bit by purchasing accessories that can enhance your vehicle's appearance and functionality. Your vehicle's steering column is one of the most important components that you need to take care of to keep it running. While you can always maintain it as it is, you might want to invest on a steering column dress up kit to keep it from getting damaged. Aside from that, it can also give your stock steering column added class and style. However, when buying one, you should consider a few factors to ensure that you will only get your money's worth.
Aluminum vs. steel
When buying a steering column dress up kit, choose one that is made from solid billet aluminum. Steel is a bit costly, but aluminum is less prone to corrosion. It actually doesn't rust. You don't need to apply a layer of rustproofing unlike stainless steel. Although steel is definitely tougher, aluminum is more flexible and less prone to breaking apart. You are sure that it will last longer due to its material.
Simple vs. complex appearance
Look for a dress up kit that has a smooth and sleek design than a complex one. It adds class and style to your steering column. Choose one that is easy to install as well. Check if the parts of the kit are complete. It should contain a turn signal lever, a tilt wheel lever, and an emergency flasher knob. Other accessories include an adaptor and a plug.
Direct fit vs. universal
If you want to install the steering column dress up kit by yourself, you should get one that is a direct fit for your vehicle. This is to ensure that you will not encounter any problems during installation. Look for one that can fit perfectly to your vehicle's steering column. Check if the sizes of the parts are the same as your vehicle. You might want to have your trusted mechanic to assess your vehicle's size if you are not that familiar with your vehicle's specifications.
Limited warranty vs. no warranty
Buying a steering column dress up kit online may seem tricky, especially if you cannot see the products before you purchase them. That is why it is important that you ensure that the kit that you will buy online is covered by a warranty. A one-year limited warranty is better than having no warranty at all. This is to ensure that you can still have it replaced in case there is a missing part or a defect in the package.
Aftermarket vs. OEM part
If you are used to buying car parts online, make it a point to look for original equipment manufacturer (OEM) part and not an aftermarket part. OEM parts, while not all, are more high-quality than aftermarket ones. They ensure perfect fit specific to your vehicle. They are as good as your stock part since they are made to fit your vehicle's model.

LEE COUNTY – Long-time Lee County Supervisor Ron Fedler announced this week that he will be running again for the 1st District Supervisor position.
Fedler announced he will be running again after Lee County Auditor Denise Fraise released she will be running on the Republican ticket.
Fraise, who’d been running under the Democrat ticket for the past 10 years, switched parties this year after being pursued by the Lee County Republican committee.
Fedler is in his third term as District 1 supervisor after beating Rick Carter, who ran on a petition campaign, in 2012.
The West Point native said his frustration with the budget process this spring that resulted in higher taxes was part of the reason.
“After the budget was approved this year, I was very frustrated because I wanted to cut expenses to avoid raising taxes so much because a lot of people are hurting with inflation and I feel sorry for those people and, when it came time to approve the budget, I voted no,” Fedler wrote in a letter to Pen City Current.
“The budget the year before, I was frustrated with the large raises that were proposed by the (compensation) board. I understand they were mandated by a state law that a county sheriff should get paid the same as a police chief of a town equal in population as the population of a county. So they came up with a 45% raise for the sheriff and a 10% raise for all other elected officials.”
Fedler said he made a recommendation to lower the comp. board’s figure by 50%, which would have lowered all the comp. board’s recommended raises. His motion was defeated 4-1. Supervisors then approved the comp. board’s recommended increases. The comp. board did voice concerns over the county not listening to their recommendations and that’s why the county was facing the wage gap it was facing.
Fedler claims that Board Chairman Garry Seyb said the county could implement the raises without raising taxes. After running a business for 26 years, Fedler said he knows you can’t raise expenses that much without increasing revenues, which, in the county’s case, is taxes.
“I don’t blame the county employees because sure they would take that big of an increase, but the taxpayers pay the bill, and they were seeing inflation in their lives also and were not getting big pay raises like this,” he said.
Fedler said after that budget was passed, he was asked if he was going to run again and he said if had to decide at that moment it would be no.
“After that, the word got out and I had a lot of people in my district, both Republican and Democrat, ask me to run again and that made me feel good and some Republicans tell me they like the job I was doing,” Fedler wrote.
“When I vote, I never consider anything but what is the best for the people of my district and the people of Lee County who pay the taxes. I would like to thank all the district one voters who have voted for me in the past and hope I have done a good enough job you will vote for me again.”

Roisin O'Shea, head of Food & Drink sector for Bank of Ireland has put together a checklist of best practice for food and foodservice busniesses in these challenging times.
Speaking to thinkbusiness.ie, she outlined that the importance of the food industry to national wellbeing has been underlined by the priority given food workers and grocery retail in the current situation.
Ireland is fortunate in being one of the most food -secure countries in the world – second overall in a recent survey of 133 countries.
“Allocate time to plan for what a post-Covid-19 world will look like”
While the sector as a whole has not been affected as severely as industries such as hospitality or tourism, nonetheless food companies have had to adapt to the new reality and take steps to ensure the survival of their businesses.
Here is a checklist of best practice for food businesses during the Covid-19 crisis:
However, additional distancing should be put in place to facilitate social distancing guidelines. This may mean modification to current processes – up to and including the provision of perspex screens or the slowing down or decoupling of production processes or running extended shifts. The FSAI (Food Standards Authority of Ireland) has updated guidelines around food preparation and Covid-19
Stagger break times to ensure distance is maintained.
Recheck staff details so swift contact tracing can be put in place in the event of a case, particularly if this should occur out of hours.
Communication is paramount. For production sites where different languages are prevalent consider whether adaptations are needed to get the message across. As many office staff or now working remotely, it is important that managers retain regular daily and weekly touchpoints to identify any issues.
Lastly, look to reallocate staff from non–essential areas to cover additional demand where possible. For example, salesforce covering foodservice channels should be moved to retail.
Therefore, it is prudent for companies to increase their current stocks to cope with any possible issues.
All elements of the supply chain should be reviewed so there is a good understanding of their actual country of origin not just the intermediary who supplies them.
Alternative suppliers should be put in place now, to cope with any timing issues should they arise, between different countries experiencing different levels of Covid-19 lockdown.
Other companies are reviewing their offering to see whether it can be repurposed for retail – this may involve repackaging. If this is not something you can do it might be worth talking to some specialist food repackaging companies who are skilled in this type of outsourced repack. If you don’t have retail relationships in place, consider approaching a retail distributor.
Some of the UK grocers are currently trialling catering size packs. The British Frozen Foods Federation has a platform on their site that links foodservice suppliers (including those in Ireland) with Grocers looking for stock in the UK.
It may also be worth looking at new channels, for example in the UK where home delivery is a more mature market and meal preparation businesses like Gousto and Drop Chef are reporting significant increases in sales.
Covid-19 is accelerating developments in the tech space. With the widespread use of drones, will take-away and out-of-home bounce back into growth spurred by drone delivery?
Who are the new customers that will emerge from this – will the direct to consumer channel accelerate?
How will consumers be feeling when they emerge – will there be a return to nostalgia brands like the post-2008 crash.
If China emerges from the crisis quicker than the west are there more opportunities to increase exports?
Other food companies will be experiencing similar issues so this is a great time to reach out and make new connections.
Roisin O’Shea joined Bank of Ireland in 2019 as head of the Food & Drink Sector. She has held a number of senior commercial positions in both indigenous and multinational consumer goods companies including PepsiCo, Valeo Foods, Carbery, Boyne Valley and Robert Roberts Ltd. Her knowledge base spans end to end product development from procurement and new product development, to branding, marketing and sales achievement. Her most recent role was in the rapidly growing Sports Nutrition Industry. O’Shea holds an MBA from Warwick Business School and Post Graduate qualifications in Digital Business and Digital Marketing.

3 who died, 2 sickened near Faster Horses Festival were high school friends
WOODSTOCK TWP. — Three men who died and two who were sickened from apparent carbon monoxide poisoning Saturday while camping near the Faster Horses Festival were identified Monday by the Lenawee County Sheriff's Office.
The three who died are Dawson Brown, 20, of Michigan Center; Kole Sova, 19, of Jackson; and William Mays II, 20, of Jackson. The surviving victims are Rayfield Johnson, 20, of Jackson and Kurtis Stitt, 20, of Hesperia. Johnson and Stitt remained in critical condition Monday, the sheriff's office said.
They were pals who played high school football together, MLive.com reported.
"My heart is breaking for these families and the ones still fighting for their lives," said Mays' mother, Amy Satterthwaite.
The deaths Saturday probably were caused by carbon monoxide from a portable generator that was operating too close to their travel trailer, Lenawee County Sheriff Troy Bevier said Monday.
The victims likely were asleep and "never knew what happened," Bevier told The Associated Press.
They were at a campground across the road from the Faster Horses Festival, a weekend country music show, at Michigan International Speedway.
"Our hearts are broken for the families, friends and loved ones," festival organizers said on Facebook.
Brown, Mays and Sova graduated from Michigan Center High School. Brown had a landscape and lawn business. Mays had talked about selling insurance. Sova worked at the Jiffy Mix plant in Chelsea and had taken college classes.
Classmates, friends and relatives gathered Sunday at Sova's home to share their sorrow, MLive.com reported.
"They had a good life," Sova's father, Jerry Sova, said. "I think it is important to focus on that, too."
Separately, Michigan State Police were investigating the death of Melissa Havens, 30, of Croswell, at the festival Saturday. The cause and manner of her death still weren't publicly disclosed.

This includes the physical, emotional, spiritual, social and cognitive aspects of the child's life. We teach children quietness as a skill to reflect and recharge their inner lives. Lorraine Murray helped us on this journey.' -- Sheila Laing, Head Teacher. Stress and behavioural disorders are common in children, who are increasingly bombarded by marketing campaigns, faced with school and peer pressure, and able to sense the stress of adults around them. Mindfulness and meditation can help children recognise and cope with these pressures, releasing bad feelings gently and giving them simple tools to deal with tension and stress throughout their lives. In this practical and inspiring book, Lorraine Murray shows parents, teachers and youth workers how to lead fun and peaceful meditation sessions with children. Lorraine explains a variety of different approaches, from meditations around daily activities for busy families, to ideas for group 'quietness' sessions in schools. She provides fun, tactile rhymes for toddlers to help them calm down before bedtime, and suggests ways to help teenagers reduce anxiety. She goes on to explain how these methods can help children with ADHD and those on the autistic spectrum, giving a range of case studies. This book is suitable for complete beginners, or those with some experience of relaxation and meditation techniques. It offers all the advice needed to lead sessions with children, whilst encouraging the reader to adapt and develop their own ways of helping children to feel calmer, happier and more peaceful.

Download and read online The Mindful Child in PDF and EPUB The techniques of mindful awareness have helped millions of adults reduce stress in their lives. Now, children—who are under more pressure than ever before—can learn to protect themselves with these well-established methods adapted for their ages. Based on a program affiliated with UCLA, The Mindful Child is a groundbreaking book, the first to show parents how to teach these transformative practices to their children. Mindful awareness works by enabling you to pay closer attention to what is happening within you—your thoughts, feelings, and emotions—so you can better understand what is happening to you. The Mindful Child extends the vast benefits of mindfulness training to children from four to eighteen years old with age-appropriate exercises, songs, games, and fables that Susan Kaiser Greenland has developed over more than a decade of teaching mindful awareness to kids. These fun and friendly techniques build kids’ inner and outer awareness and attention, which positively affects their academic performance as well as their social and emotional skills, such as making friends, being compassionate and kind to others, and playing sports, while also providing tools to manage stress and to overcome specific challenges like insomnia, overeating, ADHD, hyper-perfectionism, anxiety, and chronic pain. When children take a few moments before responding to stressful situations, they allow their own healthy inner compasses to click in and guide them to become more thoughtful, resilient, and empathetic. The step-by-step process of mental training presented in The Mindful Child provides tools from which all children—and all families—will benefit.

Download and read online Little Flower Yoga for Kids in PDF and EPUB Wouldn’t it be great if your child could exercise, have fun, and build concentration skills all at the same time? In 2006, the Little Flower Yoga program was developed by teacher and certified yoga instructor Jennifer Cohen Harper, when her successful use of yoga in her kindergarten classroom led to requests by other students, teachers, and administrators for yoga programs of their own. Harper slowly began to teach more and more yoga classes, and eventually recruited other yoga teachers with education backgrounds to continue growing what had become a flourishing program. Little Flower Yoga for Kidsoffers this fun and unique program combining yoga and mindfulness in an easy-to-read format. Written specifically for parents and kids, the book aims at teaching children to pay attention, increase focus, and balance their emotions—all while building physical strength and flexibility. Based on a growing body of evidence that yoga and mindfulness practices can help children develop focus and concentration, the simple yoga exercises in this book can easily be integrated into their child’s daily routine, ultimately improving health, behavior, and even school achievement. The book details the five main components of the program: connect, breath, move, focus, and relax. Drawing on these components, Harper shares practical activities that parents can use with their children both on a daily basis and as applied to particularly challenging issues. And while this book is targeted to parents, teachers may also find it extremely useful in helping students achieve better attention and focus.

We were huge fans of Prison Break and a big reason for that was Robert Knepper, who played T-Bag, the despicable white supremacist murderer. No one does creepy, bad guy better than Knepper. And so we were pretty excited to hear Robert is coming back to TV as an equally villainous character.
Starting tonight, he will star in the new CW series Cult. He portrays two parts — an actor named Roger Reeves who plays a cult leader named Billy Grimm on the show within a show. In the intricate plot, the rabid fans of the inside show Cult are as crazed as Grimm's fictional followers. When they begin disappearing people start asking questions.
When we talked to Robert in a one-on-one phone call, he was very optimistic about the new series and told us, "I really hope this thing catches on because it's more than just a show about a cult. It's so many different stories in one and I certainly think it's elevating what used to be on CW."
Robert described the cult leader Billy Grimm. "He is just as complex a character as T-Bag. He's magnanimous. He's charismatic. I was channeling Robert Mitchum a lot in this first year. He's very strong and mesmerizing… He's every nightmare you could ever imagine."
He continued, "He's such a rich character. And he's fun and he's got a great sense of strength to him, which I love playing." Robert noted that as a small kid, he was often beat up or chased away for fear of being beat up. Now having risen to fame playing these scary characters, he gets his revenge.
He stated, "It's nice as an adult to say, 'I don't have to live that life. I don't have to go out and kill people or beat people up, but I can sure play it. I can walk into any bar, anywhere in the world and people go 'Whoa!' I'm not a fighter at all, but I can play these guys. So I've got that going on with Billy Grimm."
He recently got the ultimate of compliment as an actor in a very strange place. He taped an episode of The Ricki Lake Show with a group of ex-cult members — two of them had survived the Jonestown Massacre. He was asked to come on to talk about the perspective of the cult leader. He recalled, "This one lady who survived Jim Jones, she got out the night before the other people died drinking the Kool-Aid… She'd seen a clip of the show before I came out and she looked at me right in the eyes and she said to me, 'You nailed it.'" He knew he had done his job.
On the other side of the coin, he plays Roger Reeves, the actor who brings Billy Grimm to life. He said typically when taking on a new character you look for bits of the role that you can relate to. So playing an actor playing an actor poses a new challenge, he had to ask himself, "What is it about Roger Reeves that can play Billy Grimm?"
He continued, "I know why Robert Knepper was picked to play Roger Reeves to play Billy Grimm but specifically for Roger it's because Roger has some aspects of Billy Grimm in him that are magnanimous, that are charismatic, that are inviting. And then there's other moments where if you cross Roger Reeves, he will explode. We're delving into all these rich, psychological possibilities for Roger Reeves. What's his story? Was he bipolar? We've all worked with some real whack jobs in our time. Sometimes with success comes some crazy that goes along with it."
On The Ricki Lake Show, the big question asked was, "Do shows like this actually glamorize cults and encourage people to join them?" Robert replied, "'No.' I'm not advocating that. I'm saying it's a good story. It's good vs. evil. We've had horrible, violent shows since the beginning of time with the Greeks and Shakespeare. This is just another one of those really big dramas with conflict in it and somebody's gotta win and somebody's gotta lose. And I'm the guy that's gonna keep fighting to win and probably will end up in the end that good will beat him."
With all these bad guys on his resume we were pleasantly surprised to hear who Robert would choose as the pop culture icon to be for one day — Spongebob Squarepants. His reason was simple, "He makes my son laugh, which is always great." He also admitted to being good friends with Clancy Brown, who plays Mr. Krabs on the Nickelodeon cartoon and who shared the screen with Knepper on Carnivàle. He stated, "I just love the fact that I know somebody who plays a comic part like that."
Don't miss Robert Knepper on the premiere of Cult on tonight at 9 p.m. EST/8 p.m. Central on CW.
