No discrimination between people or difference in their lifestyles is found during the early epochs of human social development. As societies developed, divisions appeared between people. The human division that began initially on the basis of work and functions, necessary for the regulation of society, slowly transformed into exploitative and unequal relationships like upper class and lower class, lenders and borrowers, owners and slaves, upper-castes and untouchables, and rulers and subjects. Eventually, the resources and decision-making powers in a nation became concentrated among a certain caste or group. It is a travesty that this practice continues to find place in the present republican system of governance. Although sporadic voices of protest against discrimination were raised during the Panchayat and Rana regimes, such voices were oppressed and punished. Voices against inequality and discrimination united and organized especially along with the movement against the Panchayat regime.
Dwarika Devi Thakurani became the first woman to be elected to the parliament and appointed a deputy-minister in 1959, becoming the first woman occupy a high office in the state. For a long while, that remained the only achievement we could take pride in – but there has certainly been some progress since. After democracy was reinstated in 1990, women’s participation was ensured through a constitutional provision guaranteeing 5 percent participation for women. But the provision neglected the issue of inclusion of other groups long ignored by the mainstream of the state – the Dalits, indigenous ethnicities, Madhesis, etc.
A truly historical leap forward in terms of inclusion was made in the Interim Constitution of Nepal, 2007, which provided for 33 percent participation of women in the state structure, along with participation of other ethnic and geographic groups. In the 601 member, reinstated parliament of 2007, nearly 34 percent were women and other groups who had been excluded from the mainstream of the state, like Dalits, Madheshis, indigenous ethnicities, Muslims, and various regional groups. This was a truly exemplary instance of inclusion in Nepali history. This achievement was very significant in numerical terms. However, as the top party leadership always dominated the discussion on the content of the constitution and related decision-making processes, the exclusionary practices of the past could not be broken.
When the first Constituent Assembly failed to promulgate a constitution through the consensus of political parties and as directed by the Interim Constitution, the Constitution of Nepal 2015 was written through the second Constituent Assembly. Some salient features of this constitution are provisions like instituting a democratic republic, adopting a federal state structure featuring inclusion, and enlisting the fundamental rights of the citizens as inalienable rights. Two rounds of elections for the federal, provincial and local governments have been concluded in accordance with the Constitution of Nepal, 2015.
A total of 275 members of parliament have been elected in 2022 for the House of Representatives. Of these, 90 are women. However, only 6 women were elected through the first-past-the-post election process. This is a mere 2.18 percent of the total seats in the House of Representatives. Similarly, the inclusion status of Dalits is at 19 members of parliament, out of which only 3 or 1.09 percent were directly elected through the first-past-the-post process. The ratio of women has decreased from the 2008 figure, down to 32.7 percent.
The first elections for the provincial assemblies took place in 2013. A total of 330 members are elected through the first-past-the-post system while an additional 220 are elected through the proportional representation system. In the 2013 elections, 172 women were elected through the proportional representation system, while only 17 or 9 percent were elected through first-past-the-post system. The larger 5 political parties gave election tickets to only 55 women, or 5.88 percent of their candidates. This statistics shows that women have been confined to the proportional representation system, and they have been barred from entering direct elections. No woman or Dalit person was appointed as the chair of a provincial assembly or the chief minister of any provincial government.
The second elections for the local governments – now invested with constitutional authority – were conducted in 2022. In the elections held across 753 local levels and 6,743 wards, although 41 percent of ward members were women, including the constitutionally mandated 1 Dalit woman per ward, the number women elected to the post of mayor or chairperson through the first-past-the-post system did not climb beyond double digits. Once again, women were largely confined to being deputy-chairs or deputy-mayors.
The implementation of inclusion is not an issue limited to its deployment in the legislative assembly alone. The essence of inclusion can be achieved only if it is uniformly applied throughout the judiciary, the legislative, and the executive bodies of the state. But a glance at the executive or the judiciary makes one wonder if they are practicing a separate state structure or following a different constitution. Across civil service of Nepal, Dalits have a presence of 2.22 percent; in the police this figure is at 9.45 percent, and in Nepal Army it is at 8.14 percent. Only 45 percent of the total available positions are set aside for inclusive quotas, but the remaining 55 percent has been used as if designated for non-Dalits and men only. Although fifteen years have passed since the quota system was implemented in civil service, it is a tragedy that proportionate participation has not been implement – and this points to a great weakness on the state’s part. The participation of the Dalit community in the judiciary – which is tasked with implementing constitutional and legal provisions and guaranteeing justice and rights for the citizens – is a matter of grave concern. Only 1.09 percent of the judges are from the Dalit community. Between 2017 and 2020, only 4 percent of all the constitutional appointments made by Government of Nepal went to Dalit individuals.
The practice of inclusion has only just begun in Nepal – it has not concluded yet. I see three main reasons behind why inclusion is not being practiced in Nepal in accordance with the spirit of the various movements carried out by the Nepali people and the essence of the constitution.
The first reason is the lack of honesty on the part of the larger political parties toward the constitution they have created and to the promises they have made to the citizens, their attitude of skirting the law as much as possible, and of pushing for exclusion by maximizing the use of subtle opacity present in the letter of the law. They adhere to the legal process only after they exhaust all other options. There is a clear trend among all parties and their leadership of meeting the bare minimum legal requirement and not taking a single step beyond that mandated by the law.
The second reason is the bureaucratic structure, functioning as the permanent government, which adheres to the older practices and laws rather than the new constitution and the laws based on it. Some of the numerous acts, regulations and directives required to implement constitutional provisions have been created, but a lot more remain to be made. The employees of line ministries or relevant fields are responsible for creating the preliminary drafts of these documents. The people responsible for drafting these documents limit themselves to meeting constitutional mandates and are not at all prepared to hear anything progressive beyond that. I say this from personal experience.
The third important aspect that I see has to do with legal errors and lack of clarity. Our electoral system comprises two parts, of which the first-past-the-post system elects 60 percent of the total seats. There is no mandatory provision for inclusion for this section – which results in the same group that has enjoyed historical benefits continuing to be dominant. It was imperative to legally enforce a process for proportional inclusion in the first-past-the-post system, but that was knowingly left out. In the 40 percent set aside for proportional representation, the largest percentage was allocated to the community with the largest share in the population, and which does not at all need reservation. The numbers for inclusion in the Council of Ministers, which is an important executive body of the state, could have been specified in the constitution, just as the number of ministers is specified in the constitution. But this was not done, and this is the gravest error. The same concept applies to provincial council of ministers.
The constitutional provision requiring candidacy of both men and women for the top two posts in local government has resulted in massive overrepresentation of men in the topmost posts of mayor or chairperson. Legal provisions should have been created to specify the presence of women, Dalits and other communities, but that was not done. There is no legal provision requiring the principle of inclusion to be followed in various constitutional appointments. The fact that there is no Dalit person in a constitutionally appointment except at the Dalit Commission, or that no Tharu person has been appointed to constitutional appointments outside the Tharu Commission proves that the practice of inclusion so far has entirely escaped the essence of the principle of inclusion.
These are but a few representative examples. There are many issues that need reform. Dalits have remained at the very bottom of the Nepali society for many centuries, subjected to untouchability, discrimination, and indignation. Because of the caste system, they have remained worse-off than every other group in terms of social dignity, participation, education, and economic opportunity. The status of women from this community is even more heart-rending. When a few women leaders are presented as examples of how we have achieved a lot of rights, it simply adds to the already intolerable pain.
Proportional participation isn’t just a tool to install a few individuals in certain positions – it is the very foundation for building a prosperous nation. A country where the majority of the citizens are excluded from the state structure and development processes can never imagine a developed and prosperous future. But the fault is in the attitude that measures prosperity through the total length of roads built, the number of bridges, and photos of large buildings. It seems that inclusion is being understood – and practiced – as something party leaders hand out, and which Dalits, women, Tharus, Madheshis and others who have been deprived of opportunities receive gratefully from them. Proportional participation is the right of every citizen residing within the geography of the nation. The truth must be established that it is not an act of charity for one group to give away and another to receive. Those who think of themselves as the ones dispensing inclusion have already begun saying that there is too much inclusion. But those who need it the most remain untouched by the practice of proportional inclusion. Therefore, empowered efforts are needed to strengthen proportional inclusion.

FLORENCE - A police investigation has revealed that a Fremont Middle School eighth-grader who brought a gun to school a week ago obtained the weapon from a workbench in his family's garage.
The 14-year-old juvenile, who was expelled from school at a hearing Thursday afternoon, brought a .40-caliber Glock pistol to school because he said he felt threatened by another student.
The male student told Florence police Detective Timothy Bell that the gun was his father's and that he took it from a workbench in the garage. The gun was fully loaded and had a bullet in the chamber when the boy took it, but he unloaded the weapon.
The gun, a magazine with ammunition and one live cartridge were recovered from the boy's book bag last Friday. Authorities at the school, 212 N. Maple in Florence, were alerted to the gun by three students who notified a school counselor.
Sgt. Sean Humphrey confronted the boy in a computer class where he had the gun stored inside a duffle bag under his seat.
A day earlier on May 17, Humphrey had responded to the school to break up a fight between the boy and another student from Penrose, age 15. When Humphrey arrived at the school he found the 15-year-old on the football field with several students holding on to him.
Humphrey had to handcuff the 15-year-old before taking him to the school office for an interview. Investigation revealed that the younger student approached the older student at lunch and told the older student he heard he had just broken up with his girlfriend.
The older student "got real mad" and started yelling, "I'm going to kill you," according to police reports. The younger student said he tried to apologize, but the older student would not listen and kept coming at him until a teacher stepped in between them.
At that point, the older student was released to his mother with an ankle monitor pending filing of charges in the menacing investigation.
Not realizing the older student had been "kicked out of school" for the incident the day before, the younger student told police he brought the gun to school because he thought the older boy would kill him and he thought the older boy had a gun.
"I then asked (the boy) what he would have done with the gun if (older boy) had shown up and tried to do something to him. (He) stated that he 'probably wouldn't have loaded it, but I would have used it to scare him,' " according to Bell's report.
The boy was transported to the Pueblo Youth Center. Humphrey recommended charges of unlawful carrying of a weapon on school grounds (a felony) and misdemeanor unlawful carrying of a concealed weapon be filed against the juvenile.
The district attorney's office will make the determination on filing of charges.
"(Expulsion) is automatic," said Gary Strubel, the middle school principal.

Battling over the EU Constitution
SCOTT SIMON, host:
Five years of enjoying being part of a French family may have given me a small understanding of why so many people in France and then the Netherlands this week rejected the proposed constitution of the European Union. French people don't like being lectured to, told that smoking is bad or that cheese should be pasteurized. Why would they abide even the possibility of being lectured to and regulated by a bureaucracy of Luxembourgers, Pols, Maltese, Portuguese and Slovenes? There was little music in the copy of the 380-page constitution that most French citizens received, no `in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, ensure domestic tranquility and secure the blessings of liberty.' It read more like the world's longest refrigerator repair manual.
The vote against the constitution aroused a rare coalition of right and left, old and young. Older voters worried that the extensive social programs of Western Europe cannot be supported if they have to pay to absorb poorer countries like Poland, Latvia and Ireland. Younger voters worried that they'll never get the chance to take advantage of such programs. There are people on the far right, like Jean-Marie Le Pen's followers in France, who march in step with left-wing labor leaders who say that immigrants from Eastern Europe take French jobs, drive down salaries and dilute French language, culture and rights, like the 35-hour workweek. And there are people on the left, like the late Pim Fortuyn's supporters in Holland, who worry that many immigrants just don't agree with women's rights, gay rights and other human rights that have become so well-accepted in Western Europe.
Even now with the euro so strong, Europe doesn't seem to brim with confidence. Unemployment has hovered around 10 percent for more than a decade. The standard of living in Western Europe is about a third lower than in the United States. Even as Americans often envy Western Europe's generous state guarantees for health care and vacations, government after government, from the left and right, has had to retool or even cast off parts of those programs as Europe's population grows older, smaller and more heavily taxed.
Immigration into France is proportionately small compared to that of the United States, Canada or even London, which now has more immigrants than any city in the world. But French newspapers still abound with worries that their society is being engulfed by immigrants whose children are growing up speaking the English they hear in films, pop music and computer games. Americans can seem to have no sense of history. Europeans respect their history. But they don't yet have a sense of a shared destiny.

Found this one at Golden Oldies in the summer of 1990, with the cover drawing of Richard's face in place of the Wizard Of Oz (must be tied in with The Wiz , which I haven't watched all the way through--rather, couldn't be bothered to). The CD reissue had a different, even hokier cover drawing of Richard dressed as a wizard.
This one was recorded solely at the Troubadour, although with a rather pesky amount of echo added to the tracks, making it sound like he recorded the routines in an echoey men's room.
Side one open with Richard thanking the crowd and then bantering with them, using corny accents and dialects (something he seemed to do a lot during those shows). He then goes headlong into "Hank's Place", reminiscing about the pool hall he used to sneak into and hang out at, even though he was a bit young to be there. He tells about the local carpenter giving an estimate to Hank on fixing the craps table; Big Black Irma, the local hussy who seems to tell everyone to kiss her ass (a little less harsher here than on the Craps album); Cool Breeze, the hustler who can sell someone anything, mostly by busting on someone who didn't have what he had to sell; Cold Blood, the pimp, and Torsey, the cop who busts in to beat up Cold Blood (who gets a little too mouthy) and to throw Richard out. A great, heartfelt routine.
After a piece on churches (where he compares his fire-and-brimstone preacher to the snooze-inducing White Protestant churches), he does a routine called "Heart & Brain", which is a little odd to listen to, considering how many heart attacks he would have in years to come, and the one that took him from us in the end.
Side two starts out with a routine about being in the elementary-school production of "Rumpelstiltskin", complete with voices of the school principal, and all of the kids in the play (this would have been fun to have watched!). "Worms" sounds like a re-write of Bill Cosby's "Hoof & Mouth" routine off of his first album. The next bit, "Country & Western Show", features an old singing cowboy (early shades of Mudbone) called Hank Tudds, who songs a country/western lament about why he killed a tractor, complete with an out-of-tune guitar to accompany him.
The last bit, "Japanese Movies", is a routine that was probably more of a visual thing that doesn't quite work for just listening to it; it consists mostly of a samurai who has to commit hari-kari. It's interesting to consider that Richard did this many years before John Belushi did this on Saturday Night Live. On that note is where the album ends.

Located at Point Wilson near the town of Port Townsend on Washington State’s Olympic Peninsula, Fort Worden was originally built as part of the triangle of fire protecting the entrance to Puget Sound. Nearby Fort Casey on Whidbey Island and Fort Flagler on the north end of Marrowstone Island complete the triangle. Built from the late 1800’s to the early 1900’s, these forts were intended to protect the area from invasion by sea, though they were never needed for that purpose. Much of the original armament from Fort Worden was sent to Europe during the first world war. All three forts have long since been decommissioned and all are historic state parks now. Some of Fort Worden’s buildings are currently used as a school. Very small cruise ships from lines like Un-Cruise Adventures or American Cruise Lines sometimes make port stops in Port Townsend.
Fort Worden State Park has a lighthouse, 2 campgrounds, hiking and biking trails, over 2 miles of beach, a boat dock, and launching ramps. Some areas of the park require a Discover Pass, which is required in Washington for access to state parks, DNR lands, and fish and wildlife areas. Day passes are available at the park as well as the standard year-long pass. Besides the campgrounds people can stay in some of the park’s buildings. Most of the officer’s houses are available, as are cottages and dormitories.
The lighthouse on Point Wilson was built in 1879, before the neighboring fort. Point Wilson is at the western entrance to Puget Sound. The buildings surrounding the lighthouse currently have an abandoned deteriorating sort of look. The lighthouse itself is still in use for its original purpose of aiding marine traffic, but the light is fully automated and monitored from the coast guard station in Port Angeles. It’s sad that these buildings appear to have just been left to rot rather than being included in the rental pool. Being beachfront with awesome views if they were fixed up they’d likely be the most popular vacation homes in the park.
Alexander’s Castle was the first building in the fort area, built in 1883 by Reverend John B. Alexander. The unique little brick building still stands and is currently available as a vacation home rented to park visitors.
The fort was built from 1898 to 1920 and designated as a national historic landmark in 1976. It was an active army base from 1902 to 1953. In 1957 it was purchased by the state of Washington for use as a juvenile detention facility. Ownership was transferred to the parks department in 1971 and Fort Worden State Park opened in 1973.
During World War 1 the fort was used for training soldiers before sending them overseas to fight in Europe. As the role of aircraft and balloons became more important and the need for coastal artillery less, a balloon hanger was built at the fort in 1920.
During World War 2 the fort was headquarters for the harbor defense command and monitored all ship traffic entering or leaving Puget Sound using new sonar and sensing devices. Most of the gun batteries were modified to hold anti-aircraft guns as their original purpose for coastal artillery aimed at ships was long since outdated. After the war the guns were dismantled and the base remained as an administrative facility until its closure in 1953.
Fort Worden has several museums. One is in a former officer’s house. It is furnished with period pieces of the sort that would have been used there, but the actual furniture and things belonging to the people living there came and left when they did. There is also an artillery museum as well as the sealife science center and aquarium. Other entertainment at the park includes kayak and rowboat rentals. There are several places to buy food and even a gift shop. The former fort also has facilities for conferences and weddings.
Much of the 1982 movie An Officer and a Gentleman starring Richard Gere and Debra Winger was filmed at Fort Worden. Scenes were filmed in various places around the fort including some of the buildings, at battery Kinzie, and in the blimp hanger, which has since been turned into a performing arts center. Many of the off-base sites were filmed in Port Townsend. Both Paula and Lynette’s houses and the factory where they worked were actually in Port Townsend rather than across the sound as portrayed in the film. The Tides Inn from the movie is a real motel and is still in business.
I visited the park one day with my sister Linda. We spent a bit of time at the lighthouse, which now sits behind a fence and were sad to see how the buildings there appear to have been left to deteriorate in the effects of coastal weather. Even if they don’t want to fix them up for the rental pool, a lighthouse museum would be interesting and could include the keeper’s house as well, giving the park a good reason to preserve those historic buildings.
We also took a tour through the officer’s house museum, which is in the former quarters of the commanding officer at the end of officer’s row. The rest of the houses there are rentals for park visitors, suitable for large groups as they hold anywhere from 6-28 people depending on the house.
This fort turned park has enough of a variety of places to stay and things to see and do to make it a fun and interesting place for just about anyone.
Never visited there…Looks very interesting and historic.
Definitely worth a visit.
Great post 😁

Letter: Rick DeBlois: You wrote about governor so I did not have to
I was going to write about Rhode Island Gov. Gina Raimondo's caving in to the unions that got her elected, by signing the "evergreen" contracts bill.
However, The Providence Journal's Editorial Board did it for me. If you have not seen it, check out the May 16 editorial ("Gov. Raimondo betrays R.I.").
It is a great piece of work, and says it all much better than I could have. She has shown she does not care for the citizens she supposedly represents, only paying back the big unions for her re-election.
When my property tax bill soars, I will send the bill to her desk.

FAIRY ALKIMA IS WAITING FOR THE GOLDEN SHIP (Montenegro)
Kotor is a town of legends. Every stone is a story, every wall a history, every fortress a tradition. The beauty of this town is so unique that it has been making people simply believe that its foundation must have been influenced by divine forces. They say that the most beautiful myth is the one about the fairy Alkima who showed up one night and advised our ancestor to build the town by the sea. So they did. People built their town and every year after the fairy Alkima has been showing herself above it. She takes a look from high rocks to see the way her town lives and then she flies away…
The legends remain, but the reality in the Municipality of Kotor is different.
Today, this area, due to its extraordinary natural and cultural values is a UNESCO heritage site. The question is whether we are aware of the meaning or not. Of course not. Environmental protection is now topicality widely discussed, but poorly worked upon.
The disposal of solid municipal waste is a huge problem to entire Montenegrin coastal area. Illegal garbage dumps are a huge problem for Kotor Municipality. The waste has been disposed on natural soil near inhabited areas and close to the roads. According to Report by the Secretariat for Spatial Planning and Construction, garbage dumps are unprotected, uncontrolled, not meeting sanitary and environmental requirements and have become a significant environmental and health issue.
According to the Civil Police data, we have 11 large landfills in the Municipality of Kotor, the area of which exceeds 1,000 m2.
Illegal dumps arise mostly during the construction season. Flats and apartments are renovated, and most of the construction waste ends by the roads, because for legal disposal transporters are required to obtain permits from the authorities. As Mr Zoran Vučinović, the Head of the Kotor’s Civil Police, told us, illegal disposal is done mostly at nights, and the fines are very strict and range from 500 to several hundred euros. The Civil Police has sent the citizens a public call to cooperate and report such cases.
We should mention the dumps on Vrmac and Lovanja where currently we have over 6,000 car tyres that have been unloaded there. There are no specific locations for the disposal of waste tyres. There is a tyre disposal place in Podgorica, but a temporary one, thus the Ministry of Sustainable Development instructed the Public Utility Company of Kotor to keep the tyres where they are.
Due to the large number of tourists, maintaining cleanliness during the summer season have become a great issue. The inhabitants and owners of hospitality facilities in the old town generally do not comply with the Municipality’s Decision on garbage disposal and dispose their waste at places not foreseen and at time not allowed for this kind of activity. Those are places near the public toilet, even in front of the Civil Police office, St. Paul’s church or the City Hall. The city walls are also very affected by irresponsible tourists. The workers are forced to collect and take away garbage from certain places even several times a day, and by the end of the day we have a new dump at the same place, as we were told by Mr. Mladen Lučić, the director of the Kotor’s Utility Company.
Once being the landfill for the municipalities of Kotor and Tivat, Lovanja today is a “black spot” of Kotor Bay. There is a recycling centre of the Kotor Utility Company. However, the biggest problem is the lack of a proper landfill and driving away the garbage from Kotor Municipality to the sanitary landfill “Možura”, which is costly, considering the fact that driving away one ton of garbage is 35 euros. If we take into account that nearly 12,000 tons of garbage are driven away to this landfill yearly, then there must be some radical actions taken about it, as said by Mr. Lučić. At the land of the Utility Company in Kavač there is a composting plant, the only one in Montenegro, a project by the European Union for four municipalities: Kotor, Tivat, Herceg Novi and Budva. Mr. Lučić also told us that, for now, the processed green waste is used only for the area of Kotor Municipality and maintenance of green areas. The plan is to expand this station, in order to start the sales of the produced humus, for which there is interest.
In addition to being the disgrace of the town, illegal dumps are harmful to people’s health and to the environment in general. There is often a terrible smell spreading from these areas, spontaneous combustions, animals disperse the litter, and this all additionally affects the environment.
What needs to be done urgently is to recover the illegal dumps and put physical barriers at certain places in order to prevent recreation of the dumps, as well as a more intense control over these places. The solution is to allocate a proper, new landfill for the municipalities of Kotor, Tivat and Budva. Furthermore, it is necessary to work on raising the environmental awareness of the citizens through advertising and seminars, and the civil police should be strict in implementing fines with irresponsible citizens.
We remain with the question whether and when Kotor will “wash” and show its real face, or we will leave it to UNESCO to try to defend its protected area from ourselves.
And the legend, at its end, says that, through the Fairy Door, at a certain time of night, you can see the moon sickle, golden and bright, like a sailing ship in the night sky. Then, the chosen people of Kotor, the fairies’ favourites, can see Alkima just before the dawn, sitting on the Fairy Door and waiting for the golden ship so she could sail on it through the Boka Bay waters and further on to the distant world.

Here in New York City, there is an incredibly popular burger stand in Madison Square Park called The Shake Shack. It's one of the touchpoints for Silicon Alley, and a great meet-up spot. The problem is that its usually insanely crowded, with an hour-long line stretching well across the park.
Not to be defeated, Silicon Alley geeks created the Shake Shack Twitter Bot, which serves as a sort of chat room for people to report wait times at the Shake Shack. It's a few dozen lines of code that leverages Web 2.0 technology to make the city smarter, more efficient, and more fun.

Today, the prosecution in the Roger Clemens case finally, after four weeks of trial, put on their star witness: Brian McNamee. He’s still testifying as this post goes live.
The beef of it all: McNamee testified that he injected Roger Clemens with steroids about eight to 10 times when they both were with the Toronto Blue Jays. He said Clemens supplied the PEDs, McNamee did the injecting. In his overall training, however, McNamee was in charge. That quote in the headline was part of his testimony today.
Pfun Pfact: the first time McNamee ever saw steroids was when Jose Canseco, also with the Blue Jays, gave him some syringes wrapped in tin foil. Just thought that was interesting.
Anyway, the key here — that McNamee injected Clemens with what they both knew to be steroids — has been what McNamee has said all along. He is the only witness in this trial who has first-hand evidence of Clemens’ PED use. No one who testified in the Barry Bonds case had similar evidence against Bonds, for that matter. It’s the fundamental difference between this prosecution and the Bonds prosecution, and the reason why Clemens faces substantially more legal risk than did Bonds, even with the prosecution seemingly stepping on its own feet so many times in the past couple of weeks.
But direct examination — which is what we got today — is only half the story. McNammee will be cross-examined tomorrow. And, as we have noted many times, there is a lot the defense can fire at him to harm his credibility. How he holds up to that cross examination will likely determine whether Roger Clemens is convicted or acquitted.

To avoid aging too quickly, cut back on all of the following foods:
1. Avoid sugar, sugary foods, and especially foods that contain high fructose corn syrup (HFCS). High fructose corn syrup is called by several names. Read the labels. If you see the words corn syrup or fructose do not put it in your shopping cart. All these foods increase Advanced Glycation End Products* (AGE’s), but HFCS causes 10 times more formation of AGE’s than glucose! HFCS is found in sweetened drinks, and many processed foods like ketchup and salad dressing. It is inexpensive and abundant, but it is ruining our health. Moderation in all things is the rule here – begin to cut back. Also beware of the dangerous artificial sweeteners. There are some natural sweeteners that are good and sugar in moderation is fine if you don’t already have a problem.
2. Avoid corn based foods such as corn oil, corn chips, corn cereal and again HFCS. Much of the corn that is produced today has been genetically modified. Corn based foods and corn oil contain excessive amounts of omega-6 fatty acids which causes an imbalance in the omega-6 to omega-3 oils. This leads to higher LDL levels – the lousy cholesterol that leads to heart related problems such as stroke and heart attack. Too much omega-6 also leads to inflammation and oxidation.
3. Avoid soybean, canola, sunflower, cottonseed, corn and other vegetable oils. They are inflammatory. Instead use extra virgin olive oil, avocado oil or hemp seed oil.
4. This may be controversial, but there is recent evidence that warns us against wheat -even whole wheat. Today’s wheat is not the same wheat that our grandparents and even parents grew up on. It has been crossbred too often. It contains a carbohydrate called amylopectin-A that spikes blood sugar to higher levels than most other carbs. These create AGE’s in your body that speed up the aging process. They damage our organs, joints and cause our skin to wrinkle. Furthermore, wheat contains a gut damaging gluten. A great alternative is sprouted bread, such as Ezekiel bread.™
*for more explanation on AGE’s see the previous post named Aging Processes .


As Gwobrau’r Selar announce this weekend’s award winners, Getintothis’ Cath Holland observes triumphs for the country’s new blood making its voice heard.
Organised by contemporary Welsh language music magazine Y Selar, the Gwobrau’r Selar annual awards are now in their seventh year and were held at Aberystwyth University for the fifth time.
For 2019, the event was expanded over two days, confirming the boom in the popularity of Welsh language music.
Saturday night’s tickets sold out three weeks in advance, and over 1500 people attended over the weekend.
Alffa were the recipient of the brand new Platinum award.
The teenagers hit the international headlines last year when second single Gwenwyn hit a million streams on Spotify.
Albums are now declared platinum after 300, 000 sales; this award is intended to acknowledge the value of digital streaming, and gives a much deserved nod to music achieving a million streams.
Gwenwyn’s streaming figures have now doubled in the last two months, meaning the song is now double Platinum – and so Alffa were given two Platinum awards.
Reaching a million streams for the first time was a breakthrough for Welsh music. With digital streaming now dominating the music market, and platinum sales becoming more infrequent, the intention is to present this award to every Welsh song that reaches that million from now on.
The duo were presented with the surprise awards on Friday, the day of the release of new single Pla, which they performed at the event.
Alffa are enjoying Spotify support once more with this new release, landing a spot on the New Music Friday UK, The Rock List and All New Rock playlists this week.
Alffa play the Lexington in London on 27 February with Accu and Private World, promoted by Cardiff venue Clwb Ifor Bach.
Also at Gwobrau’r Selar 2019, Best Individual Artist and Best Independent Promoter were awarded to Alys Williams and Clwb Ifor Bach respectively, for the second year running.
Alys is a former contestant on The Voice, and has released a couple of original singles so far, plus collaborations.
Last year’s Best Breakthrough Act, Alffa‘s label mates Gwilym bagged an impressive five awards.
Together for just two years, they have already released 5 singles and an album and are set to headline some of Wales’ most prestigious festivals. At the moment, all four members are scattered around the UK studying at different universities – two of them in London, one in Birmingham and the other on Cardiff.
Gwilym took home gongs for Band of the Year, Best Song for Catalunya, Best Video for Cwîn and Best Artwork for debut album Sugno Gola, which also won Best Album.
“Gwilym have certainly been a good example to any young Welsh language act,” said Y Selar Chief Editor and awards organiser, Owain Schiavone.
“A year ago they were just starting to establish themselves, and won our ‘Best Breakthrough Acts’ award. They’ve used that as a launchpad, picked up momentum and built up a substantial audience. There’s no doubt that they’re a really popular band, and the fantastic reaction to their set to close the weekend was certainly a confirmation of that!”
“We’ve been coming to Gwobrau’r Selar as punters for a while, and to perform here last year and take home an award was brilliant,” said Gwilym frontman, Ifan Pritchard.
“To be picking up five awards this year is absolutely amazing, and we’re very thankful to all the people who have voted for us.”
Y Trŵbz won Best EP for Croesa’r Afon, their first release in three years. Their lead vocalist also performs under the name Mared and has released some work under that name, including collaborations with Majestic Casual Records’ Denton Thrift.
Lewys who so far have released three singles and only played their first show last year, won Best New Band. They play Focus Wales in Wrexham this May.
Special Recognition Award went to Y Cyrff’s Mark Roberts and Paul Jones.
Branwen ‘Sbrings’ Williams took home the Star of the Scene award. This acknowledgement is given to someone who is currently working hard to make the Welsh language music scene a better place.
Branwen has been serving that purpose for over 15 years and as well as being a member of Siddi with her brother Osian (who is also the frontman of popular Welsh band Candelas).
She has also run the label Ikaching, releasing some of Wales’ most popular artists of the last decade. Her passion for Welsh language music has also seen her organise numerous of gigs, most notably at Neuadd Buddug in Bala and more recently as a part of the national youth event, Eisteddfod yr Urdd.
Best Live Event was awarded to Maes B. The fringe event for young people at The National Eisteddfod of Wales, the four day music festival attended by 1,000 – 5,000 annually.
Also performing at Gwobrau’r Selar over the weekend were rising stars Los Blancos – who released double a-side single Cadw Fi Lan/ Ti ‘di Newid on Welsh Language Music Day earlier in the month – and Mellt, named winners of Welsh Language Album of the Year 2018 at National Eisteddfod last summer.

March for solidarity with victims
Windhoek residents gathered at the Independence Museum earlier this week to march against the xenophobic attacks in South Africa.
The demonstrators walked to the South African High Commission in Jan Jonker Road chanting “Stop xenophobia, Africa is United,” to hand a petition to the High Commissioner and a letter addressed to South African President Zuma. The demonstrators carried colourful banners with the slogan “say no to xenophobia”. The petition was received by Mr Gareth Rees, Counsellor: Politics at the High Commission. Protestors Nina Amutenya, Tuyeni Amutenya, Sofia Simon and Prensley Useb joined the “March for Africa” in solidarity with their African brothers and sisters in South Africa.

Mixed Artificial Lighting
Chris Brown <cb@...>
I deal with lots of images from museums and art galleries. Often theseThe way I have drastically reduced or eliminated the effects of different
colored lights and various color temperatures in a scene is to:
1) Filter any lights, as best possible, to make the main subject in the
scene film-neutral (i.e. Rosco CC gels)
2) Filter at the lens to assist in acheiving step #1 (i.e. Wratten filters)
3) When scanning, eliminate any remaining color contamination (using the
scanning software) on the scene's main subject.
At this point there will be surrounding areas outside my main subject area
where the color and temperature of the light is not pleasing. I then use
Alpha channels and paths in PS to isolate these areas into groups of similar
contamination. Then, using Curves, Levels, and Selective Color, I eliminate
the unwanted colors.
Tedious but effective.

Stepping stone paths spread all over this yard, creating a fun pattern and a perfect place for a leisurely stroll. If your landscape boasts lots of space and beautiful gardens, consider a multitude of intersecting pathways that lead visitors around the grounds.
Link your stepping stone path to your other outdoor decor by matching the style of stone throughout the landscape. Here, the stepping stones lead to a mortared patio made of the same kind of stone. The charcoal-gray hues provide a beautiful contrast to the dark green of the plants and grass and produce a natural look for the yard.

Some turned into detectives trying to discover the validity of the image, imploring the club to reveal there was no issue and he wasn’t on his way to see a specialist about a thigh issue.
The news supporters were dreading arrived on Friday, two days before the crucial 2-1 loss to rivals Celtic at Ibrox. Giovanni van Bronckhorst confirmed the Colombian would be out for the next couple of weeks, while there is concern it could be a longer-term injury.
The injury couldn’t have happened to a more important player at a worse time. Not only was his absence from him felt on Sunday, Rangers will play the Europa league quarter-final against Braga without their talisman, as well as the Scottish Cup semi-final against Celtic, a game which takes on more significance with no Scottish Cup win in 12 years.
A natural reaction after the defeat to Celtic was to assume they missed Morelos’ presence as the focal point of attack. But just how important is the 25-year-old?
When you look at games he has missed, whether it be through injury, suspension, international duty or remaining on the bench across his five seasons at the club, Rangers have shown their capability at handling his absence.
Out of the 33 league and European games he has missed, Rangers have won 21 and only lost four. One of those victories arrived in Braga.
The discomfort of Morelos
Yet, two of the four losses have arrived this campaign, both in defeats to Celtic in the league. He may have put in plenty of effort across those two games but Kemar Roofe isn’t Morelos and Rangers in turn suffered in attack.
The Colombian, who has been doubted and punished in equal measure, during his time in Scotland gives Rangers a concoction of attacking qualities no other striker in the country can. Goals, personality, link-up play, presence and physicality. He is the ultimate out ball.
Quite rightly, Cameron Carter-Vickers and Carl Starfelt were praised for their role in the weekend’s win. But it is hard to imagine they’d have had quite as comfortable a time if Morelos was leading the line.
And, aside from his ratio of a goal every other game, that’s what makes him so successful, the level of discomfort he exerts on defenses. An ability to occupy defenders, create space and drop deep which can bring out the best of Joe Aribo moving forward from midfield or Ryan Kent driving in threateningly from the left.
It now means Van Bronckhorst’s side have got themselves into quite the pickle. How do they replace Morelos? Especially on the European stage where the sound of the Europa League anthem acts like a Bat signal and he becomes a different, even more dangerous beast with 32 goals in 51 appearances for Rangers and Helsinki.
It’s the big question the Dutchman needs to answer.
Across five seasons, Morelos has been the man for Rangers, even when he’s not been at his very best. His mere presence of him can elevate the team. In the biggest two weeks of the season so far they are without their talisman and the early signs are far from positive.

The following seven dramas are still ongoing, so you can look forward to catching new episodes every week! The best part of it is, you can stream all these shows for free now on Viu!
7. Less Than Evil (also known as Bad Detective)
Inspired by the popular British crime series Luther, Less Than Evil follows veteran detective Woo Tae Seok (played by Shin Ha Kyun) as he solves cases by dangerously controversial means. When he meets a female psychopathic criminal (played by Lee Seol) he could not beat, she ends up becoming his partner. Receiving many praises for its strong writing, the drama takes us on a suspenseful ride into the ethics of the justice system, as well as a dark past that Tae Seok cannot seem to escape.

Fuzzy Optimization Using Direct Crisp and Fuzzy Interval Comparison
In real optimization tasks, always there are two main groups of criteria: requirements of outcomes increasing or expenses decreasing and demands of uncertainty reduction, in other words, risk minimization. Therefore, it seems advisable to formulate optimization problem under conditions of uncertainty as, at least, two-objective on the basis of local criteria of benefits increasing or expenses reduction and risk minimization. Generally, risk may be treated as the uncertainty of result obtained. In a situation considered, the degree of risk (uncertainty) may be defined in natural way as width of final interval of target function at the point of obtained optimum. To solve the problem briefly described above, the technique of two-objective crisp and fuzzy interval comparison has been developed on the base of probability approach to interval comparison taking into account the relation of compared intervals widths. To illustrate the efficiency of method proposed, the simple example of minimization in the case of interval double-extreme discontinuous cost function of real argument is presented.
