The refugees were put on a bus in the town of Landshut and sent on a seven-hour journey to the German capital.
Earlier, Dreier said that if Germany is ok accepting one million refugees his district would accept only 1,800. The rest, he said, will be packed in buses and sent directly to Merkel’s office. He followed the bus in his car.
Otherwise, "this would pose a threat to the country’s order," Dreier said.
He explained that his district had 66 migrant facilities, and around 70 more refugees were coming every week.
The politician appeared to be acting on a threat he made to Merkel in 2015. Criticizing her words that Germany can deal with the influx of refugees, he is said to have issued a warning to the chancellor in a phone call in October, Daily Mail noted.
Die Welt reported citing Dreier’s representative that the politician wants to draw the government’s attention to the situation in the district because nothing is going to change until "Merkel herself feels the impact of the crisis."
"They [the government] say the number of migrants is decreasing, and the problem has been solved," a source told Die Welt. "But the authorities do not understand that our Bavarian district still has problems with immigrants who have come in the recent months."
Landshut spokesman Elmar Stoettner told AP that all 31 refugees on the bus had been granted asylum in Germany and volunteered to participate in the trip.
Later on, newspaper Berliner Zeitung reported that on Friday morning the refugees were send back to Bavaria, on the same coach.
Merkel is now under growing pressure over the country’s "open doors" stance on migrants coming to Germany, many from the conflict zones in the Middle East or Africa. The federal government has pledged it would provide over €1 billion annually until 2019 for social housing.
Some 1.1 million refugees crossed the German border in 2015, and several thousand continue to arrive every day.

The Down and Dirty Guide to Free Verse Forms
When you’re composing without a formal net, outside of the boundaries of set patterns of meter and rhyme, what guides the way you lay your lines down on the page?
This workshop focuses on finding each poem its perfect container, its own organic form, through simple and practical exercises. We’ll discuss ways to identify patterns of sound and imagery you have, consciously or unconsciously, already created, and work on strategies to bring out the work you’re already doing below the surface.
Participants are asked to bring at least one poem with them to the workshop.
The Craft of Revision: (Re)forming Your Poems
In a genre dependent upon precision and economy, craft counts as much as content, and so much of the crafting is done on the second, or third, or thirteenth pass.
What can you do to maximize what is already working in your poems and to further develop your individual voice? How can you incorporate other readers’ suggestions without creating a poem that pleases everyone and provokes no one? How do you know when to keep plugging on and when to leave a poem alone?
During this intensive writing course we will review strategies to revise poems in every stage of development, to transform a stuck draft or to further polish an already-promising poem. Our focus will be on organic form: the perfect marriage between what the poem says and how it says it. We’ll look at a variety of “shaping” forms and discuss how to use rhythm, repetition, line breaks, and white space to create the sound and pace that work best with your content.
In addition to in-class writing and exercises, we’ll discuss participants’ work in a workshop setting with the goal of further developing the particular voice and style of each poet. Participants will be expected to bring 3-5 poems they’ve already written (and are open to revising) and to complete short revision assignments.

Reviews of Stalin in Aruba
Daring, pushing boundaries of subject, form, language and imagery…These poems bear re-reading, opening up more and more with each turn, and they never settle for easy truths.
–Towson Prize for Literature selection committee
It is the authenticity of these poems that is their strength… For its unique texture Stalin In Aruba is a consistently engrossing read. This first collection is a confident debut by a quietly talented writer.
–Neon Magazine (UK)
The deception of the title hit[s] home—as what seems to suggest the fun and fantastical instead bravely lays way to the grim, biting, and disturbingly and deeply real. –jmww
Deeply political and deeply personal, Stalin in Aruba is a startling debut. …. Puhak has me hooked. This is a poet to keep your eye on! –Julianna Baggott, author of The Madam and Lizzie Borden in Love

The NIA court on August 7th, 2020 rejected the bail plea of anti-Citizenship Amendment Act leader from Assam and Krishak Mukti Sangram Samiti (KMSS) chief Akhil Gogoi. Following which, there have been rumours of KMSS approaching high court.
Speaking to Inside Northeast KMSS Joint Secretary said, “we won’t ever accept CAA and for that, the Bharatiya Janata Party has to be removed from Assam as well as the country. The fight will continue. The BJP knows their electoral winning chances will be difficult if Akhil Gogoi comes out of the jail and that’s why they are keeping him inside the jail. The NIA lower court has been pressurised”. On the issue of whether Akhil Gogoi will contest the elections in 2021, Deka said, “it’s not a matter of Akhil Gogoi joining politics but the BJP knows there electoral chances for 2021 Assembly elections will falter if Gogoi walks out of jail free”.
There have been talks of KMSS approaching the high court to appeal. Speaking to Inside Northeast, Shantanu Borthakur, Akhil Gogoi’s lawyer said, “we are going to appeal in the High Court against the NIA order as per the provisions”.
Earlier, the Gauhati High Court, Assam granted bail to Akhil Gogoi in three cases lodged with Chabua police against him on July 16th, 2020. He has been granted bail in case number 293/2019, 296/2019 and 307/2019.
Akhil Gogoi was undergoing treatment for COVID-19 at the Gauhati Medical College and Hospital (GMCH) after he was tested positive.
Earlier, KMSS leader Bitu Sonowal and Manash Konwar were granted bail. Manash was lodged in Guwahati Central Jail since his arrest on December 22nd, 2019 (case number 13/19) along with KMSS leaders Akhil Gogoi, Dhairjya Konwar, and Bitu Sonowal. Bitu and Dharjya are also undergoing treatment for COVID-19 at the GMCH.
Akhil Gogoi was arrested on 12th December 2019, from Jorhat, sent to NIA custody for 10 days in Delhi, and taken back and lodged in Guwahati Central Jail since 26th Dec. KMSS Secretary Dhaijya Konwar and Bittu Sonowal, President of Chatra Mukti Sangram Samiti, a popular democratic student org in Assam, were arrested on 13th Dec and lodged in Guwahati Central Jail.
On 7th Jan, both of them were tagged in the same fake UAPA case with Akhil Gogoi and are currently in NIA custody in Kamrup district. Manas Konwar was arrested on 13th Dec, released later and re-arrested from NIA Court, Guwahati, Assam towards the end of January 2020 being slapped with similar charges under UAPA. Earlier, the NIA failed to file a charge sheet within the mandatory 90 days, which warranted Akhil’s release but he was immediately arrested for other cases.

They come up with the usual reasons: they aim to safeguard and protect domestic leather industry, and its business. Such decision is not a big surprise to us in the end. Likewise, we will not get surprised, next 10 December, when the (provisional) ban is due to expire, if Russia decides to renew it again. In fact, since 2014, they kept turning a “temporary” export stop into a permanent trade restriction, by renewing it every 6 months.

Over the next several years she made a name for herself in Hollywood starring in various TV films and guest starring on hit shows such as “CSI,” “The L Word,” “CSI: Miami,” “Cold Case” and HBO's “Transporter.” Hobbs was also fortunate to work alongside the late Heath Ledger in Sony Picture's feature film Lords of Dogtown, which has since become a cult classic.

Top Rank chief executive Bob Arum refused to answer when asked to pick between Filipino boxing superstar Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao and unbeaten American champion Timothy Bradley Jr. during their upcoming rematch.
Bradley is the defending WBO welterweight champion, although Pacquiao opened as the slight favorite.
“It’s a very competitive fight,” Arum told Boxing Scene. “It’s what fights should be. Who knows who’s gonna win the fight?”
Bradley claimed a highly controversial victory over Pacquiao when they first fought in June 2012, even though most ringside observers scored the match in favor of the Filipino.
The American boxer has insisted that the pressure is on Pacquiao for the rematch, and believes that another loss will be a huge blow to the career of the “Pacman.”
“I think he’s at a point now in his career where it’s do or die for him,” said Bradley in a separate Boxing Scene interview. “A loss for Manny right now would... I don’t know if it will end his career, because people love him.”
“But it would be bad. It won’t be good for him,” he added.
Arum disagrees, however, saying that a loss for either Pacquiao or Bradley would be far from a death sentence.
“Who has more to lose is not a logical question. A loss is bad for either of them. Is it a death sentence for either of them? No,” Arum said firmly.
“These guys are fighting at the highest level, so they’re fighting competitive fights, and sometimes you win, sometimes you lose,” he added. “Look at the history of boxing, all of the great fighters. Most of the time, they won, but sometimes, they lost.”

Pewaukee students rewarded for their big Goodwill donation win with a visit from Green Bay Packers great Donald Driver

Rumors reached me a couple of months ago of the possibility of a new X-Files comic series. Ever since then I've frequently scoured the internet, searching for details, dates, and any other news related to any other new X-Files developments. What I've learned of the upcoming series has me feeling more than a little giddy, and the event to which I'm most looking forward, the release date of the new comic, is just less than two weeks away from the time of this writing. This is something for which I and my fellow X-Files fans have been waiting for quite a long time.
IDW, one of the best current publishers in comics (publishers of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, the Transformers, Doctor Who, and many other titles), along with Fox and series creator and executive producer Chris Carter, will be releasing not only a new X-Files comic series but the official Season 10 of The X-Files! Chris Carter will be overseeing the production of the new comic (in a way similar to Kevin Eastman with the Turtles and Joss Whedon with Buffy and Angel, I imagine), which is said to be continuing the canon of the television show and is set in a time after the last film, I Want to Believe. The release date for the first issue of The X-Files Season 10 (god, it feels good to type that!) will be on Wednesday, June 19.
So, in less than two weeks I'll be visiting my local comic book shop right when the doors open so that I can grab a long-awaited copy of the comic which will satisfy my craving for material covering the further adventures of Mulder, Scully, and their continuing quest to seek the Truth. I look forward to collecting this new book, and I hope that it leads to a bright and ongoing future for The X-Files Universe.
In regard to my writing on The X-Files and all things related to it, I will be returning to my "The X-Files - I Believe" blog series (sounds so official) soon. I'll also be posting a special X-Files Season 10 podcast through my "Nerd Closet Podcast" show on YouTube on Wednesday, June 19, after I read my copy of the first issue.
For my previous blogs on The X-Files you can click on the links below, and if you're curious about further details related to the upcoming comic, I've included a couple links for you to peruse.

IDW Press Release/Website Announcement


Smashing Pumpkins lead singer Billy Corgan has already reached the pinnacle of pop culture success with the decade-long standard he and his band established as Billboard’s Top Ten Alternative Rock Artists. Since 2017, however, Corgan has made inroads to success in another beloved avenue of pop culture: professional wrestling.
As a result, 2022 finds the 74-year-old wrestling promotion that Corgan now owns, the national wrestling alliance (NWA), bringing their brand of independent wrestling to the Nashville Fairgrounds to revive the legendary Crockett Cup Tag Team Wrestling Tournament on March 19-20, 2022.
The NWA attempted a Crockett Cup in 2020 but was halted by the outbreak of COVID-19.
“It’s comparable to a ‘Pro Wrestling Super Bowl’ or a ‘Pro Wrestling Rock Festival,'” Corgan says of the upcoming event likely to spotlight nearly 50 nationally to world-class grapplers.
He “hates” to hint at his rock career while discussing his goals in a square circle. “When pressed, he says, ‘Just like how rock festivals attract, we use the credibility we’ve built with audiences in the way we present our talents that they know their ultimate presentation will be. fulfilling and will deserve their time and interest. “
Historically, the NWA promoters of the 80s, the Crockett family, presented, between 1986 and 1988, the Jim Crockett Sr. Memorial Cup Tag Team tournament. Stars of the then global conglomerate of promotions under the NWA banner included Ric Flair, Dusty Rhodes, Sting, The Road Warriors, Japanese high-flying legend Tiger Mask, the Rock ‘n’ Roll Express and Midnight Express. The events featured two-on-two confrontations.
“I’m a big fan of tag team wrestling,” Corgan told The Tennessean. “The Crockett Cup highlights the unique art of in-ring storytelling that [tag team wrestling] allow. Young talents who have proven to be stars and traditionally masters of the craft have been involved in this style of wrestling.”
“WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment) sets the standard in the industry, but over the past decade they haven’t focused so much on tag teams as they have focused on their core programming,” he said. he adds. “[Different than WWE]NWA not abandoning traditional tag team wrestling venue [alongside singles matches] in professional wrestling.”
Four decades later, with Corgan’s visionary leadership and armed with an aggressive digital streaming strategy for weekly programming using Youtube and the FITE TV app – plus a team of indie talent not exclusively signed to today’s major promotions like the WWE, All Elite Wrestling (AEW), IMPACT Wrestling or New Japan Pro-Wrestling – the NWA is poised to achieve a level of fame the company hasn’t reached since its heyday in the mid-1980s.
In the past two decades since the closure of World Championship Wrestling and the bankruptcy of Extreme Championship Wrestling, WWE’s market share in the mainstream wrestling market has grown dramatically. Led by CEO Vincent K. McMahon, the company is now visible in 180 countries and 28 languages and reaches more than 900 million homes worldwide.
While some businesspeople would view WWE’s availability in 92% of the world’s countries (and half of its TV screens) as impossible to compete with, Corgan sees an opportunity to create sustainability through a different marketing plan. .
“[Non-WWE affiliated] wrestling companies should work together to create “supercards” to maximize potential fan interest and marketing opportunities. Mainstream fans are interested, even in a two-day format, in stories that have a series of confrontations, that lead to a conclusion.”
Fans are already following the promotion’s studio-recorded “NWA Powerrr” and “NWA USA” weekly shows via Youtube or sports fight FITE-TV broadcast app are familiar with the stories that culminate in the Crockett Cup. Notable among these is the pairing of British-born, world-traveling veteran former NWA World Heavyweight Champion Nick Aldis (he held and defended the title for 1,043 days between October 2018 and August 2021) reunited with his tag partner – and fellow worldwide-traveled wrestler, Doug Williams, as acclaimed contestants, The British Invasion. After losing the title in August to Trevor Murdoch, Aldis rekindled his well-regarded pairing with Williams. They will be presented at the Crockett Cup.
Other teams already announced as entrants include popular brother team the Briscoe Brothers Jay and Mark Briscoe, who are best known as the current 12-time holders of the Ring of Honor Tag Team Championships, as well as the champions of the burgeoning “outlaw” tag. style group, Game Changer Wrestling. Additionally, Mexican stylists Lucha Llibre and current NWA Tag Team Champions La Rebelión (Mecha Wolf and Bestia 666) will appear alongside the duo of Strictly Business, and Thom Latimer and NWA National Heavyweight Champion “The Masterpiece” Chris Adonis.
Jeff Jarrett, former NWA World Heavyweight Champion and current resident of Hendersonville, Tennessee, will be in attendance as the “Official NWA Honorary Ambassador” for the Crockett Cup and will make an in-ring appearance.
“For wrestling purists and casual fans alike, there’s something to enjoy at the Crockett Cup,” Corgan says. “We’ll have ‘amazing’ marquee wrestling matches that wrestling fans will love. But for people who find being told a great story by great storytellers is an underrated art, we have that too.”
WWE doesn’t control the entire professional wrestling landscape in a changing media landscape. To borrow one of his band’s most iconic songs – Billy Corgan and the NWA are raging like rats in a cage to carve out a place for themselves in the wrestling landscape.
Crockett Cup tickets are on sale now at NWATix.com. Ringside seating is $75, ground seating is $40, and tickets are $35 for general admission and bleacher seating. The event will be broadcast live on both nights FITE for $24.99 individually and is included in the $49.99 NWA All Access Annual Pass. The full field of tag teams for the Crockett Cup and other marquee matches will be announced over the coming weeks via social media and the NWA Powerrr streaming program.

Wits vice chancellor (VC) Prof Adam Habib has said the university will cooperate with the police investigation into an alleged rape of a student by a fellow student.
A 22-year-old female Witsie has accused a male student of date rape, after she found herself in his bed, unable to remember what had happened to her.
She woke up on Monday morning, after having drinks with him the night before and, according to reports, found condoms on the floor of his room.
The 30-year-old student suspect did not deny having sex with the woman when she asked him what had happened. According to police, the two were out at a local bar together when the complainant started to feel dizzy.
“The criminal investigation will take its own course, with the University cooperating fully,” Habib said, in a statement released by the Wits Sexual Harassment Office (SHO).
Jackie Dugard of the SHO told Wits Vuvuzela she has not yet met with the complainant, but has spoken to her over the phone.
“We have offered the complainant counselling and will see how further to proceed after a more in-depth conversation,” she said.
The accused student appeared in court on Thursday and his case has been postponed. According to Dugard, “… the university regards him as innocent until proven guilty.”
The university said that the incident, which happened off campus, was reported directly to the police by the complainant.
This case is the third of its kind at Wits this year. Earlier in the year a Wits student was raped off campus by two men who were not affiliated with the university and at the beginning of last month, a student was allegedly raped in her university residence.

Youth star Nithiin is currently on a mission to strike at the box office because his last movie ‘Lie’ became a colossal disaster. This time he is arriving with the movie ‘Chal Mohan Ranga’ and the first look poster of the movie was unveiled. Those who have seen it have given thumbs up but few film folks have another tale to reveal.
They are now saying that this title has been lifted from the movie which was originally meant to be directed by Sai Balaji. Apparently, ‘Chal Mohan Ranga’ refers to Chalapathi, Mohan,andRanga and this was to feature Nithiin in one of the roles and Sai Balaji was to wield the megaphone for it. But for some reason, the film has been shelved.
The cine folks reveal that since the project is shelved the title has been taken by Nithiin and kept here. From the looks of it ‘Chal Mohan Ranga’ sounds interesting but at the same time, the concept of Sai Balaji is also promising. Well, as long as both sides have clear understanding nothing else should matter.

Modern diagnostic imaging techniques, such as Computed Tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scanning, has led to the earlier diagnosis and treatment of a variety of diseases and injuries. However, there is concern that the extensive use of such technology may not be cost-effective. Not to mention that some of the Gadolinium side effects have led to numerous lawsuits. Rather than address the economics of health care, we will examine how the total charges for diagnostic exams are structured.
Diagnostic imaging facilities can be grouped into two general classes. The first of these is the “full service” or “comprehensive” imaging center. Such centers, whether hospital-based or located in a free-standing facility, offer other diagnostic imaging services as well as CT and MRI exams. These facilities are always subject to extensive federal and state regulation, and all are approved to receive Medicare, state medical assistance, and private insurance carrier payments.
The second type of facility typically offers substantially-discounted, cash-only, rates for particular kinds of examinations such as screening examinations for heart disease or colon cancer (“virtual colonoscopy”). While the vast majority of such imaging facilities offer excellent services, it is essential to remember that some centers are for-profit operations that depend on a high patient volume per unit of time to remain profitable. Many of the “cash discount” facilities are not approved for insurance payments.
The total charge for any diagnostic imaging study can be broken down into two sections, a technical component that covers the use of the physical equipment involved in the examination, and the professional component, which is the charge made by the physician who interprets the results of the exam from images recorded on x-ray film or digital images on a computer. In some cases, particularly in those diagnostic centers that offer “screening examinations,” such charges may be combined into a single fee.
The technical component of a diagnostic examination can be best thought of as the charge for the “use” or “rental” of the machines as well as the technologist’ salaries and any supplies used in the course of the examination. As a general rule, an MRI examination will cost more than a CT exam because MRI machines are more expensive to purchase and operate than CT scanners. Also, a review that is done “with and without contrast” will typically cost at least 50% more than a single examination.
The professional component of either a CT or MRI examination is the charge made by the physician who personally interprets the results of the study and provides a written report of his or her interpretation of those findings to the health care provider who referred the patient to the facility. Although there is considerable variation between geographical regions and in the type of examination being interpreted, most professional fees will range from 15% to 30% of the technical component charged. In some facilities, particularly in those offering a “cash discount” or those offering low-cost screening examinations, the professional part is included in the examination fee itself.
To summarize, the question of whether to order either a CT or MRI examination is made by a health care practitioner who will take into consideration factors such as the disease process to be examined as well as the advantages of one testing modality over the other. Since there is considerable nationwide variation in the total charges for such examinations, the consumer is advised to contact a number of diagnostic imaging centers in order to obtain the most economical source of these examinations.

'What's going on!' Cellphone video shows part of encounter with York police in lawsuit
Leticia Chavez-Freed, Victor Ezeibe’s attorney, provided the video, which a man in the parking lot of a Turkey Hill Minit Market on West Market Street recorded on Dec. 16, 2018.
The York Daily Record/Sunday News has obtained cellphone video that shows part of an encounter that’s now the subject of a civil rights lawsuit against the City of York and unidentified police officers.
Leticia Chavez-Freed, Victor Ezeibe’s attorney, provided the video, which a man in the parking lot of a convenience store recorded on Dec. 16, 2018. Ezeibe, 57, of West Manchester Township, filed the lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Harrisburg, alleging that police arrested him at gunpoint and searched inside his underwear, pockets and car without probable cause or reasonable suspicion.
In the video, a York City police officer yells, “Driver, roll the window down!” Ezeibe then starts up his SUV.
Police continue to shout commands, including telling him three times to throw his keys out the window. Ezeibe eventually complies. He continues to follow their orders, including those to slowly step out of the vehicle and walk backward.
Next, at least five police officers rush in to take him into custody. Ezeibe screams.
“What’s going on!” shouts Ezeibe, who repeats the question two more times.
A police officer then shines a flashlight inside the SUV and says, “Vehicle’s clear."
Watch the video at the top of this story.
The video does not show what led up to the encounter outside a Turkey Hill on West Market Street or what happened after Ezeibe was taken into custody. It’s dark outside. Flashlights and red and blue lights from the police cruisers also obscure some details.
In a statement, York Mayor Michael Helfrich has said, “I believe that once the evidence is reviewed our officers will be cleared of any wrongdoing."
U.S. District Judge Yvette Kane is presiding over the case.
Contact Dylan Segelbaum at 717-771-2102.

Pocket pages, Project Life, Documenting Life no matter what you choose to call it I have decided I am hooked! I started PL in August when our 6th child was born. I decided to keep my spreads to one page so that I wouldn't become overwhelmed finding material to document. Sometimes I choose to do 2 page spreads such as my pages documenting Easter that you all saw on NSD. I really appreciated all the comments you left about that spread you really gave me confidence in my PL skills!
I also wondered when I started PL if it would take away from my scrapping time (precious as that is), but what I've found is it allows me to get all the moments documented and then I have plenty of time to just have fun when I layout scrap. I don't have to scrap everything now because it is already documented and so my layouts have become more about emotions/thoughts then actual events which gives me more freedom!
So here are some new pages using Teresa Collins products and We R Memory Keepers album pages.
My next pages document my year at 36, life has been pretty crazy over the past year and I wanted to get everything down that influenced me this year before I turn 37.
REMOVED FOR PUBLICATION
and some detail shots...
I wanted to add some catchy bling to my layout so...
1. I grabbed a Crate Paper frame, gold glitter, and xyron double sided tape from my Teresa Collins adhesive kit.
2. Line the frame with the double sided tape.
3. Sprinkle glitter.
4. Be amazed at your sparkly brainstorm, lol!
Here is a look at this past week, week 39 for me...
and the details...
Modeling paste makes for a great title piece with little dimension. My "stencil" came from fussy cutting the word from one of the 3x4 cards.
And how about some "sand"? I created a pocket using the packaging from the Daily Stories package. I poured sequins into the pouch and then sewed the sides a little closer in to fit on my picture.
I really enjoyed thinking out of the box on my pages and just having fun documenting our life. It is important to me to get the daily days down in our books because life is just going to fast. As a SAHM and homeschooler sometimes I can get buried in the grind of daily life, but I realize how blessed I am when I take some time to really look at all the good that occurs each week in our lives.
And to leave you with a layout that kind of just fell together with the pieces that were on my desk...
I'm not sure if it will be the preceding page for week 39 or go into Rocky's book, but either way I couldn't resist using the rest of my pictures that I had printed.

Accent in the Spotlight
Book by: Kirkyb
.................. We walked back out to where the others were all waiting looking a little worried.
“You guys in trouble?” Xander asked apprehensively.
“What... oh no we’re going to a warzone” I smiled
“What?” Jackson pulled a face as we walked to the back doors. A whole group of fanswere waiting Security made a path for us to get to the limo Jackson and Xander getting inside first while we signed a few autographs and had a few pictures taken. I slid in as lady like as I could with Alfie shoving me from behind. “What were you saying about a warzone?”
“We’re doing so shows for the USO” Kerion beamed “two at the Airbase in Germany…”
“Ramstein” Alfie Pete and I chimed in making Kerion smile even wider
“I hadn’t finished Jeez” Kerion flicked the finger as we heard shouts and cheers from outside the limo “Looks like we’re waiting for the others” we could see Nickelback doing the same as we had just done
“Dude warzone?” Jackson pleaded.
“We’re doing three shows in Kuwait and two in Afghanistan “ I laughed as the door opened and the others piled in Ryan sitting on my lap “Okay we need to get a party bus not a damn limo” I groaned I pushed him off of me only I ended up getting wedged in the corner between him and Jackson
“So you think you can rock a Kevlar corset?” Daniel Laughed as the limo pulled away from the arena
“I don’t know you’ll have to ask Marie” I pulled a face
“You’re really going to go there… I mean to a warzone” Xander swallowed “Isn’t that…:
“Dude we’re not going to be out there with them on the front line… we’re in the bases” Chad laughed “We’re all safe”
“Excuse my cousin, he’s a pussy sometimes” I shook my head at Xander
“Hey, I’m having to deal with the fall out at home from you leaving so watch it” he glared at me
“Okay I’m sorry” I held my hands up the last thing I wanted was to fight with Xander over Dimi.
“So if you’re cousins then what are you?” Chad askedpointing to Jackson and making him stutter like a fool.
“Er… I’m… er…”
“He’s our friend and the Quarter back of the school football team” I laughed “and I think he’s a little star struck with you guys being in here”
“What little old us” Mike laughed
“Yeah, old being the operative word” Kerion teased as we pulled up to the club “Just the way Chris likes em….”
“Oh Snap” Dan chuckled
“Okay see the heel on the shoe” he nodded “If you don’t want to see it up really close… as in through the eye zip it” everyone started to laugh
“Hey Chris you want to fuck with the press?” Chad laughed looking round at me and distracting me from killing my band mate
“You want to screw with the guys that are trying to screw us?” he shrugged
“Sounds painful” Alfie grinned as the driver opened the door. “Don’t you need lubricant for that” we all looked at him
‘Wow” I hung my head
“No… they want a story to make up, then we can give it to them and probably boost your record sales at the same time” Chad shrugged
“Er… we don’t have a record out yet” Pete pointed out
“You do it drops in the US Tomorrow and Europe next week” Dan winked “why do you think we were working so hard in the Studio when we were in Manchester?”
“No one said” I shook my head “surely we should have known?” this was a shocker
“Okay if it bombed would you want to know” Chad asked “would you really want to stress over it’s release while you were just getting started?
“I don’t know” Peter scratched his head
“Hey believe us it hurts like a bitch when you’re trying to start out and you get knocked on your asses” Mike reached over and closed the door again “Hell we had so many rejections before we got any sniff of a break… this time we’re in charge and we’re going to give you guys every chance to make it”
“Are we going to go in the club or sit here talking” Ryan whined “And come on you have to tell them the truth”
“What truth?” Alfie scowled
‘Nothing, he’s got a mouth and he wasn’t listening to the conversation” Mike opened the door and stepped out the others all following him. Chad looked back at me
“So if you’re not too pissed with me you still want to fuck with the paparazzi?”
“I’m not pissed. I’m confused” I sighed “and I’m wearing pink shoes which doesn’t help” he threw his head back and started to laugh he reached for the door and closed it again “Okay now, I’m really confused” I pulled a face “are we not going inside?”
“It’s okay, they can’t see in through the windows right?” I nodded “and most of your band has gotten out and most of my band has done the same… leaving…” he gestured to himself and then to me
“Ah okay I get it” I smiled I leant back he reached for a bottle of Jack Daniels and poured us both a drink and handed one to me. He moved sat opposite me stretching his legs along the seat. “So why hasn’t Elena said anything about the song?”
“Well that was one of the reasons she had to go back to the US” he took a drink “Look I know we should have probably told you guys, but like I said a while ago you all have something that is just… right” he sat up “You have an amazing voice and the guys gel with you to make what you do unbelievable” he held out his hands “and if Elena didn’t have the vested interest in you because of her son” he tipped his head a little “then I’d… we’d be managing you guys but that’s another story”
“What’s Dimitri got to do with anything?” I shook my head and took a drink
“Chris, she’s a Russian Mother bear who wants the best for her cubs. You are in her eyes the perfect girl for her son a meal ticket for want of a better word, and she’s willing to do what it takes to stay close to you so you and he are bound to keep bumping into each other” he shrugged and topped both of our drinks.
“Why do I feel like a puppet” I knocked the drink back and pinched the bridge of my nose
“Chris… You’re not I swear to you, you’re here because we all want you here. And we want you to pack the arenas like we do who knows one day we’ll open for you guys” he clinked his glass with mine. “Okay part two of the plan” he chuckled changing the subject quickly. He handed me his glass and pulled off his shirt.
“What are you doing?” I swallowed hard my voice rose as he sat half naked in front of me
“Getting naked” he laughed watching my face “I’m kidding Chris” he turned his t-shirt inside out and put it back on again and quickly messed up his hair a little I was now laughing he was devious I had to give him that. “Right you need to kiss me”
“Excuse me… I’ve only had two drinks… I think the last time I’d had more” I cried trying not to laugh
“No I mean… Hey what do you mean you’ve only had two drinks” he looked at me with wide eyes “So wounded” he put his hand on his heart
“I’m kidding, I know what you mean you need a lipstick trace right?” he nodded I reached into my purse and quickly put a fresh coat of the pink lipstick on and looked at him “Right keep your gum to yourself okay” I grinned
“I’ll try” he chucked with a wink leaning in and kissing me lightly, just enough to get a smear of lipstick on his mouth he pulled back and reached for the door “Ready?”
“No wait, and don’t look” I pulled my skirt so it rode higher “okay” he reached for the door again “No wait” I leant forward and kissed his neck catching the neck of his shirt as well as his skin. He looked at me with wide eyes
“Okay you’re getting scary good with this scheming” he looked at me and shook his head “I’m creating a monster”
“What is it Lukas says Go big or go home” I shrugged as he opened the door. the flash bulbs went into over drive lighting the night as he reached for my hand and helped me out of the car his arm slipping round my waist as we walked inside he bent his head to whisper in my ear
“Okay let them go make a story and we get to laugh at the fiction they come up with”………..

But the best part was the next day.
I started with a simple roux - 1/2 a stick of butter went into the pan with about 1/4 cup of flour. I stirred this frequently over medium heat until it was a toasted-nut scented paste.
To this I added seafood bisque concentrate, and then about 8 cups of water but if I didn't have that on hand I would have used low sodium chicken broth. I added about a tablespoon of half-sharp paprika as well.
I cut the kernels off the leftover corn cobs, chopped the kielbasa into smaller pieces, and picked all the remaining clam and mussels from their shells. My sister arrived while I was making the soup, so I opened a can of clams from my pantry and added them as well (along with the juice from the can).
I have to say it turned out pretty tasty!
* overly paranoid safety warning here. If this is shellfish 101 for you, here's how to prep clams and/or mussels for cooking:
- When purchasing live clams (littlenecks are scrumptious!) or mussels, make sure they smell mostly like sea water ... if they reek of fishiness, pick something else for dinner.
- Sort through the live mollusks, and THROW AWAY ANY THAT ARE OPEN AND do not close when tapped. These are already dead. You don't want to eat shellfish that isn't cooked immediately upon death. (those of you who eat raw oysters .... you're brave.)
- Place the shells in a large pot and cover with water. Leave them alone for about half an hour, and then change the water. If the second change yields a good bit of sand at the bottom of the pot, you might want to change the water a third time. Remember - these are living creatures, and they are processing the water and expelling sand for you!
- Steam or grill the clams and mussels until they open. IF ANY DO NOT OPEN, DO NOT EAT THEM.

The idea of a new Marvel action game starring Captain America sounds like a great idea. In addition, the inclusion of Black Panther, although somewhat sensitive considering the death of Chadwick Boseman, will surely appeal to many. I just want them to announce another final alliance.

05 October 2021, Punjab: In district Hoshiarpur, sesame (Til) crop is cultivated on an approximate area of 300 ha, mainly in kandi region.

Description: Over the past decade, the Task Group on Preservation of and Access to Scientific and Technical Data in Developing Countries (PASTD) has focused on promoting and enhancing the worldwide cooperation in ICTs and research data and in developing open knowledge environments for international science and sustainability in developing countries. Several international workshops and training sessions toward these goals in many areas of the developing world had been held, including in Brazil, South Africa, China, Mongolia and Cuba, including many regional country participants. PASTD is organized under the Committee on Data for Science and Technology (CODATA) and the International Council for Science (ICSU), both located in Paris, France.
PASTD is pleased to announce that it is organizing its next meeting, the International Workshop on Open Data for Science and Sustainability in Developing Countries (also referred to as Open Data in Developing Countries, or OpenDataDC), on 6－8 August 2014, at the United Nations Offices in Nairobi, Kenya. The workshop will be jointly organized with the World Federation of Engineering Organization, Communication and Information Committee(WFEO-CIC), the Ministry of Communication and Information of Kenya (MCIK), and the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). Several other organizations are partners in this activity. The confirmed organizations are listed below and others are welcome to participate.
The workshop will be a special opportunity to present the accomplishments in improving access to and use of research data and in reducing the digital divide since the World Summit on Information Society (WSIS), held in Geneva 2003 and Tunis 2005, as well as the programs of each of the partners. The workshop will be preceded by a 2-day technical training session (4-5 August 2014) for young scientists in good data management practices.

Releasing yet another solid track, Black Milk is already back to form with some great new music. The creator of what literally was the Album of the Year in 2010 has kept incredibly busy since then, releasing the No Poison No Paradise LP last fall, dropping his Glitches In the Break EP just this spring and constantly touring with his band Nat Turner. While supporting his recent releases and prepping for the West coast leg of his live schedule, Milk gifts his fans via SoundCloud with his latest single, "What It's Worth."
It's well known that Black Milk has become fairly masterful with his drum patterns and compositions over the years, as he demonstrates on this new release. Able to identify his trademark sound instantaneously, Black gives us his best laid-back, "ride out" beat as he verbally illustrates the stories of life, those who lost their focus and those who found enough worth in their dreams to chase them. Finding a wonderful balance between quality production and raps that are actually worthwhile, Black Milk proves why he remains one of the top producers/musicians in the game. Nod your head to the track right here, and then head over to his website for more info on his upcoming tour dates.

Transport Committee turns a blind eye to Ryanair strike - Imelda Munster TD
Sinn Féin spokesperson for Transport Imelda Munster TD has today said that she is concerned about the “hands off” attitude taken by her colleagues in the Joint Oireachtas Transport Committee on the matter of the impending strike by Ryanair pilots.
Pilots at the Irish Airline Pilots Association (IALPA) voted overwhelmingly in favour of industrial action yesterday afternoon, and the first day of strike action is planned for Thursday, 12th July.
In light of the possibility of flight chaos for thousands of families this summer, Deputy Munster proposed that the Transport Committee invite both the company and the unions to attend the next meeting of the committee.
Neither the Committee Chairman, Fergus O’Dowd TD, nor any of the other four members in attendance, supported the proposal.
Deputy Munster said;
“I have serious concerns about the attitude of the Committee towards this issue, given the possibility of disruption to thousands of families over the high season.
“This is the second time within less than a year that I have tried to get Ryanair and IALPA before the Committee.
"Whilst IALPA representatives were more than willing to attend during the major Ryanair flight disruption at the end of last year, the Committee used various mechanisms to disrupt IALPA’s representatives from making their case before the Committee in full.
“One Committee member made the case that because Ryanair is a private company it should not have to appear before the Committee.
"This is nonsense, given that that same member has brought private business from his constituency before the Committee, and indeed the Chair was happy to accommodate foreign companies who wished to lobby the Committee in a private room in Leinster House.
“Ryanair made a commitment to recognise the unions last year. They need to follow through on that commitment and come to a mutually agreeable arrangement with IALPA.
“There are wider issues at Ryanair regarding work contracts and cabin crew which also need to be addressed. This is not just about this particular industrial action.
“The Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport has a role in all transport policy - not merely public transport. Aviation is a part of that. We have a responsibility to engage with all sectors, especially in cases such as this where there is a potential for huge public disruption.


Guy Croft wrote:If it was my task I would more-or-less copy the Zenoah! As all experienced engineers know it is always easier to refine a contemporary design and maybe improve it - than to start from scratch.
Inevitably any deviation from that basic layout will be a cost add-on. They pared the design to the limit quite obviously on weight and cost grounds and quite right too.
The only thing I would add is I would personally never develop an aero unit like this as a 2 stroke, far too 'thirsty' and prone to misfire, never mind 'ticklish' to tune (via exhaust) to get the powerband_u_want. But it's your project, not mine!
Thanks for your input Guy. The cylinder head I'm using resembles a scaled down Zenoah. It has to be smaller though because the 23cc Zenoah weighs too much and the 26 and 29 cc versions that weigh the same as the 23cc are much bigger than needed. A Zenoah style twin 52cc or 58cc in one of these helicopters would be like putting a Rolls Royce Merlin in a Cessna. The 20cc I'm using has nice big transfer ports with the flow web, nice big cooling fins and a suitable over square configuration. The porting closely resembles the Zenoah but is maybe proportionally bigger.
I'm not sure which motor you mean when you talk about misfiring ? All petrol 2 strokes ? Zenoah ? Boxer petrol 2 stroke ?
The alternative highly tuned Methanol/Nitro burning glow plug engines are more than twice as thirsty and more cantankerous to tune than 2 stroke petrol ('Gasser') engines. By comparison the 26cc single cylinder (badly vibrating) Zenoah that most of us have replaced the Methanol (commonly called 'Nitro') engines with are easy to tune and perform fine evern if run safely rich. The same can't be said for Nitro engines. Then there's the prohibitive cost of Methanol/Nitro fuel.

Psychology is the science of mind and behaviour, and includes the examination of conscious and unconscious phenomena, feeling and thought. This interdisciplinary field crosses social and biological sciences.
As a social science, psychology examines the social nature of human beings and the influence that culture, group membership, and relationships have on individual personality, thought, and behavior. The study of psychological problems often involves knowledge drawn from other disciplines such as biology, physiology, linguistics, sociology, philosophy, and mathematics. Psychology is an excellent field to pursue your interests in human behaviour and the mind.
Please note that the Major Concentration Psychology does not qualify you to practice psychology professionally. If you wish to pursue graduate studies in psychology, and to eventually practice in Quebec, you are advised to also complete the Minor Concentration Behavioral Science.
This program will be of interest to those who wish to pursue a broader education and those who plan to apply for multidisciplinary graduate programs, like cognitive science, criminology, or the social studies or medicine.
You could become a professional:
- Educational Counsellor
- Human Resources
Ready to apply?
For this program, you'll need to apply to the Bachelor of Arts and Science.

Discussion in 'The War Room' started by KILL KILL, Dec 6, 2017.
This. States need to feel the consequences of taking a clerical path in their civic administration.
You guys are not too bright.
Cut off federal aid to hurt the people that make the state red.
Guess what, the people that make the state red are not the one on welfare so, they dont care if you cut welfare.
IDK what's wrong with Alabama. It has an unemployment rate of 3.6% compared to the national avg of 4.7%. CA one of the richest state is at 4.9% unemployment
In terms of GDP, Mississippi is even lower. I don't know why they singling Alabama. I never heard anyone complain about living standards in Ala.
This sounds like some kinda fake news to me.
If your theory is true then cutting off the welfare people should make the state better right?
Even if that happened for some reason I still think Alabama would suck and people would have hookworm. Its not about red or blue its a cultural problem.
Better or worse the people that the liberals think they will hurt are not going to be hurt.
You said people said inner cities are poor because they are dumb. I didn't. Up to you to prove this.
I'm not hurt. I'm not the one that's been reduced to personal attacks. Something you do a lot. Along with say things you can't back up.
Maybe Mio can help you
Depends if they paid in. People do pay into the system
Its not about hurting anybody. Those people are already hurting themselves more than any liberals could hurt them by choosing to live that way.
Shitting on Alabama is the cool thing now.
If they're on public assistance, they can't afford to at minimum wage.
You pay in your entire working life! Some people pay in for 30 years then get hurt
And you honestly think the bulk of those on assistance are conservative? Come on
Lowndes County. Where hookworm was most prevalent is 74% Black. Are these the folks you guys are saying are stupid.
You guys still say fuck em, cut off any assistance?
Are you implying its normal for people in a first-world country to have hookworm?
No. But everyone in here is saying it's because they are stupid and poor. Go read the thread
You could be rich and get hookworm if you live the wrong way.
Is ti more likely for rich people or poor people to get hookworm?
And the people were talking about are poor so why do you have to bring in these far-out hypotheticals? If you have to do this perhaps you dont have much of a point?
What are you even arguing? Seriously, what are you arguing?
I'm not the one that was laughing at these people and saying let them die. Of course the libs in here were saying that assuming they were White Trump voters.
Kentucky’s is 5.0%
Lol at all the Trolls bailing when it comes out these people are not poor White Trump Voters.
It's all about tribes with them
When did it "come out" about the race and politics of these people?
Separate names with a comma.

LONDON, Sept. 5, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Capitalab, a division of BGC Brokers LP, an entity within BGC Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: BGC) ("BGC Group" or "BGC" or the "Company"), today announced it has successfully completed its third execution of a new USD LIBOR to SOFR swaption migration service, supported by 10 major global investment banking groups.
This pioneering new service seamlessly switches LIBOR-referenced USD swaptions into vanilla SOFR swaptions, removing complexities caused by the impact of ISDA supplements on the legacy LIBOR portfolio and LIBOR fallback rules. With valuation impacts settled at a portfolio level and the replacement inventory's vanilla nature, they are substantially easier to manage. The new service also removes the need for bilateral negotiations between participants and mitigates the need for extensive resources to price the LIBOR inventory conversion to SOFR or its ongoing management under LIBOR fallback rules.
The first three cycles executed seamlessly, switching in excess of 10,000 LIBOR swaptions to SOFR, supported by automated trade booking. Capitalab plans to execute additional multilateral cycles over the coming weeks, with the aim to migrate participants' near entire LIBOR inventory to SOFR swaptions.
Capitalab co-founder and managing director Gavin Jackson, said, "On the back of strong client demand, Capitalab mobilised its technology and options expertise to deliver a highly effective solution to our valued clients in record time. We are delighted with the seamlessness of the first few executions and the strong support from our clients. We look forward to tackling the rest of the inventory shortly, and to solving future multilateral challenges for the derivatives marketplace."
David Briggs, senior sales executive at Capitalab, added, "Since our inception, Capitalab has always been synonymous with the options market. It is with great pleasure that we can deliver a pioneering service, resolving another issue with a robust solution. We have helped to save our clients significant resourcing hours by removing the required bilateral negotiations for switching their LIBOR inventory."
Capitalab, a division of BGC Brokers LP, provides compression services that are designed to bring greater capital and operational efficiency to the global derivatives market. It assists clients in managing the growing cost of holding derivatives, while helping them to meet their regulatory mandates. Through the Swaptioniser® service for portfolio compression of Interest Rate Swaptions, Interest Rate Swaps, Caps and Floors, Equity options, FX and FX Options, as well as the Initial Margin and Capital Optimisation service and fully automated trade processing, Capitalab looks to simplify the complexities of managing large quantities of derivatives to promote sustainable growth and lower systemic risk and to improve resiliency in the industry.

Context: Rates of preterm birth and infant mortality are alarmingly high in the United States. Legislated efforts may directly or indirectly reduce adverse perinatal and infant outcomes through the enactment of certain economic and social policies.
Methods: We conducted a narrative review to summarize the associations between perinatal and infant outcomes and four state-level US policies. We then used a latent profile analysis to create a social and economic policy profile for each state based on the observed policy indicators.
Findings: Of 27 articles identified, nine focused on tax credits, eight on paid parental leave, four on minimum wages, and six on tobacco taxes. In all but three studies, these policies were associated with improved perinatal or infant outcomes. Thirty-three states had tax credit laws, most commonly the earned income tax credit (n = 28, 56%). Eighteen states had parental leave laws. Two states had minimum wage laws lower than the federal minimum; 14 were equal to the federal minimum; 29 were above the federal minimum; and 5 did not have a state law. The average state tobacco tax was $1.76 (standard deviation = $1.08). The latent profile analysis revealed three policy profiles, with the most expansive policies in Western and Northeastern US states, and the least expansive policies in the US South.
Conclusions: State-level social and economic policies have the potential to reduce adverse perinatal and infant health outcomes in the United States. Those states with the least expansive policies should therefore consider enacting these evidence-based policies, as they have shown a demonstrable benefit in other states.
Keywords: infant mortality, premature birth, low birthweight, policy, review, latent profile analysis.
