In 1933, just hours before the death of King George V, Lord Dawson, the king’s doctor, issued his famous bulletin from Buckingham Palace. He said that the king’s life was drawing peacefully to a close. Dawson had good cause to know that, because he had just administered a lethal dose of morphine and cocaine to the king, in an action that remains controversial to this day. He undoubtedly brought the king’s life to a speedier close, yet, despite that act, just a short time afterwards, Dawson spoke against a Bill introduced to enable euthanasia, drawing the clear distinction between efforts that doctors may make right at the end of somebody’s life to ensure they have what has been described by some hon. Members as a good death and to ease suffering, and actions intended to bring someone’s life to an end, even though at their behest, that amount not to assisted dying, as someone has said, but to assisted suicide. That is surely an important distinction.
Some hon. Members, including Norman Lamb, have couched their defence of the Bill in the right to choose. My hon. Friend Crispin Blunt also talked about the right to choose. Others have talked about the right to die. The language of rights is one we should be careful about using in this space. If there is a right to die, why is it constrained by a six-month time period? If there is a right to die, why is it constrained simply by the fact of having a terminal illness? We accept in this country that people have the right to commit suicide, in the sense that it is no longer a criminal offence, but the law has always been clear that should somebody assist that, particularly a medical professional, a line has been crossed.
We have focused a lot on the unintended consequences of the Bill, which are indeed highly problematic. Hon. Members on all sides are concerned about the possibility of coercion. We already know there is concern about how elderly people can be treated, and there is a clear danger that vulnerable people might be drawn into having the Bill applied to them. That concerns everybody. However, I want to raise the question about the intended consequences of the Bill. Is it the wish of the House that there be more assisted suicides or fewer? Do we think that assisted suicide, or suicide itself, is ever a good thing? Several distressing cases have been adduced. It is undoubtedly true that people might suffer and that, as Keir Starmer said, some people might therefore be forced to go to another clinic—a very few people, as a matter of fact. It cannot be a sufficient justification for changing the law, however, simply to say that people are suffering. The House cannot expect to legislate away all suffering. We have to be absolutely sure that no more harm will be created by the legislation we pass. If we enable more people to take their own lives—something that society and the law has judged should be a bad thing—will we have done a good thing? Is that a good outcome for the Bill? In seeking to alleviate suffering—a noble ambition—we will potentially enable more lives to be taken, and that surely cannot be a good thing.
I have the gravest concerns about the Bill. I am concerned not just that people might be coerced into taking their own lives, with someone else’s assistance, but that any more lives will be lost at all. The law has always regarded it as wrong to assist in someone’s suicide because, in the end, we think that suicide is wrong, even if we think that it should not be a criminal offence. That is why we should take the very greatest care before taking this fundamentally different step.

Bug has been taking clogging lessons for a while. This replaced the painful (for her and everyone else involved) ballet lessons.
Today was her recital. It was epic.
In the group picture she’s the smallest one, last one on the right. Her little troupe danced to “Santa Claus is Coming to Town” in their pajamas.
Thankful we got the max number of tickets available, 10 and could have used more! Her Aunt Dani-e-yell brought her flowers!
It was wonderful, but I was a nervous wreck! She however was not and danced beautifully!

Anthony "Goldman Sachs Slick" Scaramucci got his butt chewed across the Sunday morning talks shows. I am concerned that he may have trouble even sitting down for awhile on his gold-plated home toilet. That said, he made a number of amateur mistakes battling the hosts rather than sticking to talking points.
The White House pro at talk show jiu jitsu is Kellyanne Conway.
The biggest problem Slick had was when the hosts pressured him on the tweets he deleted that were negative about Trump and an op-ed he wrote that was negative about Trump.
Here's one clip:
"All I'm doing by deleting the tweets is sending people a message," @Scaramucci tells @jaketapper in fiery exchange https://t.co/ZogFMemh90— CNN Politics (@CNNPolitics) July 23, 2017
Instead of the babbling that went on by him on the talk shows like the above, he should have said:
"Look, I am not going to hold the same opinion on every issue as the President but that is no big deal, He doesn't hire yes men and, on most issues, we are 100% in sync that's why he hired me.
"As for the personal negative tweets, I made those because I was reaching my opinion based on the reports coming out of mainstream media. The more and more I did my own research and got to know Donald J. Trump, the more obvious it became that the media has been doing a tremendous injustice in the way they are reporting on the man. I view it as part of my job as White House communications director to get out the word on what a commanding, powerful, caring and wise President we have in the oval office so people stop making the same mistake that I did because of the fake news you guys are putting out about him."
Of course, from my own watching post, the more out of control Slick is, the more entertaining it will be---and there is not much else positive coming out of this administration.
Slick is not going to be able to control Trump and Trump is not going to be able to control Slick.
I just ordered more popcorn from Amazon.

PARENTS MUST STAND TRIAL IN DEATH OF TODDLER.
LANCASTER - A Lancaster couple was ordered Tuesday to stand trial on charges they murdered their toddler son, who was beaten, poisoned with an over-the-counter antihistamine, suffocated and, after he was dead, burned.
Anthony Bill Lopez, 36, and Sylvia Rolon, 41, are charged in the slaying of 22-month-old Isaac Lopez, whose partially charred body was found in April 2003 inside a duffel bag in his father's van parked at a San Gabriel Valley park.
After an Antelope Valley Superior Court hearing at which Judge Kenneth Andreen ruled Tuesday there was sufficient evidence against the couple to warrant a trial, Rolon's attorney said his client is innocent.
``The prosecution didn't present any evidence that she helped Mr. Lopez murder the little boy. There's no evidence that she helped him. She's not guilty,'' said attorney Edward Murphy, who was appointed to represent her by the court. ``She didn't have anything to do with the little boy's death.''
Lopez's attorney could not be reached for comment.
Lopez and Rolon are charged with murder with a special allegation of torture, which makes them eligible for the death penalty or life imprisonment without the possibility of parole.
Each has pleaded not guilty and is being held in lieu of $1 million bail.
Authorities said the child was killed April 21, 2003, at Rolon's Lancaster condominium and remained there about a day before being taken away by Lopez in his van.
Lopez drove to Bassett in the east San Gabriel Valley to visit a friend. He was found with the body in the van, parked at Bassett Park, on April 23, 2003.
Subsequent investigation by detectives led to Rolon's arrest three days later.
Rolon's six other children, ranging then in age from 13 years to 4 months, were placed in protective custody. Her four oldest children were from other relationships, according to authorities.
The youngest three, including Isaac, were from a relationship with Lopez, who had been living in Des Moines, Iowa, but returned to Lancaster two or three weeks before Isaac was killed.
During the preliminary hearing on Monday, Los Angeles County deputy medical examiner Louis Pena testified Isaac died from the combined effects of an overdose of Sudafed, multiple injuries and asphyxiation.
He had fourth-degree burns on his face, upper body, arms and shoulders, lower legs and feet, Pena said.
Pena testified he believed the burns occurred after Isaac was dead.
Along with having bruises, Isaac had a torn frenulum, the piece of skin that connects the upper lip to the gum, and a right upper front tooth that was chipped diagonally, Pena said.
The frenulum could have been torn by a blow to the mouth or by a spoon or bottle forced into the mouth, Pena said.
Toxicology tests showed an extremely large amount of Sudafed in the boy's blood, levels ranging from 4.9 to 5.3 units, compared to the typical 0.5 to 0.77 units that would be found in adults, Pena said.
A purple discoloration of the toddler's lungs indicated suffocation or a lack of oxygen getting to his brain while he was still alive, Pena said.
Pena said there was no evidence the child choked on something.
A confidential county auditor-control report obtained by the Daily News faulted social workers for poor oversight, incompetence and numerous policy violations in returning the boy to his parents' care.
A county investigation was launched last year into the actions of the child social workers who had removed Isaac from his parents but then returned him. The investigation has not been completed, department officials said Monday.
Lopez and Rolon had at least a 10-year history with the agency, with Lopez being convicted of spousal abuse and physically abusing one of Rolon's sons.
However, a series of policy violations and mistakes - including a case worker simply failing to read the family's entire history of child abuse and neglect - led to Rolon's seven children being returned to her, an internal county audit concluded.
When the family relocated from the Covina area to Lancaster, the Covina-based social worker tried twice to transfer the case to a Department of Children and Family Services office in the Antelope Valley.
Both times, DCFS officials in Lancaster refused to take the case.

Welcome to the online home of Cognitive Hypnotherapy, Coaching and Personal Development here at Thinking Room in Stirling.
Thinking Room in Stirling, Scotland provides the best confidential and professional Cognitive Hypnotherapy, NLP, Coaching and Personal Development support.
We can use expert tools and techniques with Cognitive Hypnotherapy, NLP and Coaching sessions to help with any number of problems.
As well as one to one sessions we also offer personal development workshops and accredited training courses which go into more details on topics like stress management, mindfulness or how thinking impacts on your success. Workshops and training sessions give more time to explore the whys and hows.
“live out your imagination, not your history.” Stephen Covey
So what does Cognitive Hypnotherapy cover?
If you suffer from general issues including stress and anxiety, which can play havoc with your mental and physical health, we can help with that. When phobias and fears get out of control they can stop you having holidays, relaxing with friends and going about your daily business. We recognise these can have serious consequences and will help you deal with them.
Is your problem with people? Relationships at home or work need work and this is an area where it can be hard to change what is currently happening. We’ll work to uncover the issues and create a different future.
Are you looking to banish bad habits which are damaging your health? Smoking and weight loss fall into these categories and we can help with these issues too.
Sayings can be a bit trite but here are a couple I would like to share with you at this point:
“it’s never too late to have a happy childhood
“whether you think you can or you think you can’t, your probably right”
If either of these rings a bell with you, let’s talk.
Issues around confidence, assertiveness, social anxiety are common but no less devastating for those who want to overcome them. Thinking Room offers various ways for you to get started dealing with the problem.
Where does NLP Come In?
Sportsmen and women and performers often recognise the value of the way we talk to ourselves and how we view the world. They are able to benefit from our inclusion of NLP techniques which can help people with focus or goal setting, stage fright and hitting the wall. Sometimes it can be the recognition of unhelpful self talk or way of seeing a problem which can be can make all the difference. NLP recognises that we all have a unique way a seeing, hearing and feeling which makes the solution to our problem different to other people.
Business people often find they are having difficulties in areas that have never been a problem in the past. Work/life balance often becomes an issue or an inability to think or plan clearly. Coaching can be helpful for these issues with clarity around values and goal setting being a particularly helpful starting point. It’s so difficult to work out what it is that changed on our own and although having a go at positive thinking or pulling yourself together etc. can have some small effect for some of us, it’s not really the answer. It’s just like being hijacked. You want to change, you know you should change but something just keeps getting in the way. A few sessions can really get you back on track.
Have we covered it?
Whatever your issue or problem, it really is worth giving us a call to discuss how we can help.
Sometimes people don’t see the words which exactly describe their situation. Please don’t let this stop you getting in touch
There really is no reason to wait. You won’t be pushed into booking anything. We can even offer a free consultation to let you decide if we are the right solution for you right here, right now.
The Thinking Room Space in Stirling?
The office is ideally situated with excellent road and rail links throughout Stirling and beyond making it easy to get to. We have a comfortable and cosy private space which is small enough to relax in but large enough for family and group sessions. We have access to more space to run our workshops or training sessions on site. This can be in a meeting room which holds up to 12 or a studio, run by Studio 37, at the same address.
Time is also on your side because we always allow extra time for each session and we don’t charge by the hour so if you need a bit more time and space, we can give it.
Because we aim to provide value for money we won’t usually ask you to book sessions in advance. It could be useful if we have a very specific aim in mind. Even then it will be in consultation with you.
You will find free onsite parking and a secure office accessed by a simple door entry system. We have the use of a small kitchen and accessible toilets.
Appointments are always available to suit your lifestyle going from 8.00 am to 8.00 pm on weekdays. We can offer sessions most weekends too. Remember, if you don’t see the appointment times you want on the booking page, just ask. We are happy to be flexible to help meet your requirements.

MiHoYo gave information about sharing these gifts in the new year through his Weibo account and Facebook account. The company congratulated its employees for the successful passing of 2020. The post also shared photos of the gifts. These include thousands of boxes of PS5, Apple iPhones, graphics cards and Nintendo Switch. Significantly, these gifts are distributed through a lottery system. The boxes show that the company has distributed the new iPhone 12 series phones to the employees.
Let us know that PS5 has been launched in India at an initial price of Rs 39,990. The initial price of iPhone 12 Series in India is Rs 69,900. At the same time, Nintendo Switch is often sold at Amazon for Rs 33,999. The starting price of the new Macbook series in India is Rs 92,900.
A report by Gamerant states that the mobile version of MiHoYo’s new and highly popular game Genshin Impact grossed $ 400 million (around Rs 292 crore in India) within just two months of its launch. Launched in September, the game gained tremendous popularity as it arrived. Although this game is absolutely free to play, but it has to pay money to unlock many attractive and powerful characters. This can also be a reason behind the employees receiving such expensive gifts in the New Year celebration.

Icon to Explain Dildos

(LOS ANGELES, CA) -- Noted legendary adult industry icon Gram Ponante will be speaking at the World Sex Toy Convention on Monday, July 17, at 2 p.m. In Universal City (not to be confused with Dolph Lundgren's "Universal Soldier").
Ponante will be joined by Wired.com's Regina Lynn and Joel Tucker of JT's Stockroom to discuss sex toys and the Internet.
"What is the Internet? Who are sex toys?" ejaculated Ponante over a lightly-tossed salad atop Gram Ponante Towers, Aviary, and Helipad, "All I want is to be left alone."
After parting ways amicably with adult trade publication AVN, where he was one of the most influential and respected people on the publication's editorial staff, he parted ways amicably with adult trade publication XBiz, where he was one of the most influential and respected people on the publication's editorial staff.
Hanging out his own shingle in 2005, Ponante now edits his own site, Porn Valley Observed (GramPonante.com), is a daily contributor to Fleshbot (Fleshbot.com/porn/ponante/bydate/) and XBiz (XBiz.com/blogs/gramblog.php), and recently embarked on a thrice-weekly column for Gamelink (Gamelink.com/news.jhtml?news_id=news_nt_gram).
"Gram's views on the adult industry, however uninhibited by facts, are the most widely read of anyone in the dubious field of porn journalism," said equally noted porn visionary Loup Perch-Tounge.
Ponante's "Marital Aid Test Kitchen" appears regularly on Fleshbot and his own site.
After the seminar, Ponante will be available for toasting, cutting the cake, and all the traditional wedding acts.

Henry Willis began the construction of the organ in 1923, and part of the organ was used at the consecration of the Cathedral in the following year.
The organ was not completed until 1926 and finally dedicated on 18th October that year.
An ‘Anniversary’ recital is given by the Cathedral Organist each year on the nearest Saturday to 18th, in commemoration of its dedication.
The organ is situated in two chambers on opposite sides of the Quire. It currently comprises 10,268 pipes and 200 stops contained in nine divisions. The Great, Solo, and Bombarde organs occupy the South case; the Swell, Choir and Positif occupy the North case; the Corona Organ (installed 1997) is situated in a gallery high up under the tower vaulting; and the Central Organ (installed 2007) is located on the South Central Gallery; the Pedal organ being distributed between both North and South cases.
There are two five-manual consoles; the original one up in a dedicated gallery under the North Choir case and a mobile recital console at floor level, the generous gift, in 1989, of Victor Hutson CBE. The Choir and Positif Organs are played from the same keyboard, the Corona organ can be played from either the Choir or Bombarde keyboard, and the Central organ from either the Bombarde or Great.
The ‘Trompette Militaire’ and the ‘Tuba Magna’ stops are the loudest voices on the organ, with the ‘Militaire’ being located high up on the Corona Gallery beneath the Tower vaulting; manufactured and dedicated in 1997, it was the generous gift of Prof Alan Dronsfield. Conversely the ‘Tuba Magna’ is located high up in the South case of the organ and speaks into the Central Space of the Cathedral.
Both the recital console and the ‘Militaire’ were manufactured in the Liverpool workshops of David Wells Organ Builders, who are custodians of the organ and responsible for its tuning and current refurbishment.
When the organ was completed in 1926 it was the largest musical instrument ever conceived, and, since the installation of the Central division in 2007, it continues to be the largest pipe organ in the UK.

Chapter 1230: Bear it Together
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
A loud howl came out of the Melding Spiritual Beast’s mouth. It was struggling madly, desperately trying to escape the devouring power’s control.
Yet, Su Mo was already activating his Devouring Martial Soul to its fullest. The vigorous devouring power was tightly binding the Melding Spiritual Beast.
A short stalemate was created, since the Devouring Martial Soul could not fully devour the Melding Spiritual Beast while the beast also could not escape.
Not only was this Melding Spiritual Beast a special Fighting Soul, Liao Yunjian was also a martial artist at the Peak Lv 2 Martial Emperor Realm. Despite the death of his material body, his Fighting Soul was still strong.
Not so far away from here, Nie Qian and Han Ying stood still in deep shock of Su Mo’s strength.
In a matter of seconds, that strong and mighty Liao Yunjian was utterly destroyed by Su Mo. His Fighting Soul was all that remained of him.
Who would have thought that the cultivation of the Emperor-to-be realm had such a terrifying strength!
The two of them couldn’t help but think about the rumor of Su Mo rejecting the offer of becoming Grand Master Huoyuan’s discipline. It appeared that Su Mo was not stupid, but incredibly confident.
“Get over here!” Su Mo yelled as he struggled to devour the Melding Spiritual Beast. He waved his hand and aimed for the Fighting Soul.
A three-colored palm filled with Dark Force leaped through space and grabbed the Fighting Soul in a flash.
“Su Mo, come on, release me, you can’t kill me!” the Melding Spiritual Beast suddenly began to shout. Despit his desperate situation, Liao Yunjian still seemed tough.
“Oh? Why shouldn’t I?” Su Mo was not in a rush, and asked coldly.
“I’m in the Taishi Family. You’ll die too if you killed me!” the Melding Spiritual Beast shouted in an arrogant tone.
“The Taishi Family? Your last name isn’t even Taishi, do you think I’m stupid?” Su Mo jeered.
“Hmph, I’m an outer cluster of the Taishi Family. My mother is in the Taishi Family.” The Melding Spiritual Beast said in a loud voice.
“An outer cluster?” Su Mo’s expression darkened.
“Exactly. Release me, and you’ll have a chance to survive!” The Melding Spiritual Beast said pompously. Liao Yunjian was secretly outraged while his Spiritual Soul hid inside the Melding Spiritual Beast, but he tried to control his anger and use the Taishi Family to put pressure on Su Mo.
In reality, although Liao Yunjian was an outer cluster of the Taishi Family, his status was very low.
Not only was his talent extremely high, but he had also been waiting and enduring for a long time just to find a chance like this to merge a super Martial Soul or Fighting Soul and rise to the top.
He had met some powerful Martial Souls a few years ago. For instance, he killed and absorbed the Martial Soul of a Rank Nine Heaven Class genius in the Martial King Realm when he was only in the Martial Royal Realm.
He thought for a whole month, and decided at last to not merge it with his own Martial Soul. He wanted to find an even stronger Fighting Soul once he reached the Martial Emperor Realm.
God indeed did not fail those who tried hard, as he finally found a place containing the Demonic Soul of an ancient Amor Devil. It was incredibly strong, being a Demonic Soul of a Demonic Armor Clan member in the Martial Sage Realm.
This Demonic Soul was stored in this place for a long time and fitted him perfectly.
Yet, he could not come here alone. He also could not bring anyone stronger than him if he still wanted a share of the Demonic Soul.
That was the reason he selected those like Nie Qian who was reasonably strong, but did not surpass his power at the same time.
However, no matter how many times he thought it through, he did not consider the possibility that Su Mo, whom he disregarded the most, could have hidden away his strength so well and mess up his plan.
“The ones of the Taishi Family are indeed special!” Su Mo said while nodding his head.
“Of course. If you release me right now and apologize, not only will I not speak of this again, but I’ll also recommend you to the Taishi Family!”
The Melding Spiritual Beast said with a more relaxed tone. If he could survive today, he could find a hundred ways to destroy Su Mo later.
“Brother Su, why don’t we release him?” Nie Qian asked. He did not come from some big family, if Liao Yunjian died, he would get in trouble as well.
Han Ying had a grim expression too. The Taishi Family was a superpower in the Ancientspirit Galaxy. It was one of the very top human powers.
Su Mo ignored Nie Qian and looked at the Melding Spiritual Beast. “I’ll tell you one thing,” he said and laughed with an mysterious look in his eye.
“What?” Liao Yujian was startled.
“You have again insulted the intelligence of the human kind!” Su Mo chuckled. He then immediately used his Dark Force Palm to throw the Melding Spiritual Beast into the Devouring Martial Soul.
Su Mo was never kind to his enemies. Nor was he ever threatened by them.
“Ah!” a disturbing scream came out of the Melding Spiritual Beast’s mouth as he disappeared into the dark vortex of the Devouring Martial Soul.
Peace was completely restored to the hall.
Soon after, Su Mo felt his Devouring Martial Soul had completely devoured and combined the Melding Spiritual Beast’s Fighting Soul. However, his Martial Soul did not rank up.
Su Mo walked towards the corpse of Liao Yunjian and grabbed his storage ring.
“Brother… Brother Su, you just… just killed him?” Nie Qian was in shock. He was chilled by Su Mo’s determination.
He not only killed Liao Yunjian, but also devoured his Fighting Soul!
“Brother Su, we’ll have trouble after killing Liao Yunjian!” Han Ying’s pretty face was pale.
“Brother Nie, Ms. Han, do you think Liao Yunjian would let us live if he was alive?” Su Mo sighed and asked.
Nie Qian and Han Ying went silent. They knew killing him was necessary, but the Taishi Family still worried them.
“Guys, Liao Yunjian was killed by me. It had nothing to do with you two!” Su Mo shook his head in resignation.
“Brother Su, why would you say such a thing? That Liao Yunjian wanted to kill us all, he well deserved what was coming to him. I will bear the responsibility with you.”
Nie Qian said firmly. His heart would not let him to have Su Mo bear all the responsibility.
Moreover, Su Mo saved his life by devouring all those Evil Spirits.
“Yes! Brother Su, we did this together. No matter what the consequences are, we bear it together!” Han Ying nodded her head and said in determination.
If not for Su Mo, who knew what would had happened to her. She naturally could not ignore it.
Su Mo nodded his head. He did not think that these two would share his responsibility. They seemed to be decent people to befriend now.
“You guys check around this place and look for any treasures around!”
Su Mo ordered the two and walked towards the space underneath the altar.
Nie Qian and Han Ying split and started to search the other parts of the palace. Since Su Mo was interested in the Demonic Soul, they did not want to fight over it.
“What is the rank of the expert that held this Demonic Soul?”
Su Mo whispered to himself while he looked at the Demonic Soul in the crystal ball above.
This Demonic Soul had an incredible demonic aura. Its coercion was outstanding. Even with the crystal ball protecting it, it could still overwhelm any ordinary martial artist in the Martial Royal Realm.
Su Mo’s heart started to speed up. If he devoured this strong Demonic Soul, would his Devouring Martial Soul reach the Rank 9 Heaven Class immediately?

Jordan’s Run the Runway (JRTR) is a 5K run/walk hosted in London, Ontario, Canada in honour of Jordan Strickland. Since 2014, participants have taken on the Diamond Aircraft runway at the London International Airport to support sending kids to YMCA Camp Queen Elizabeth. 2020 was no exception for this unique 5K event, despite the many challenges presented to the JRTR team after the sudden and unexpected onset of COVID-19.
- Execute a safe and seamless event experience for everyone involved in the event
- Raise $50,000 for YMCA Camp Queen Elizabeth
- Achieve $30,000 in registration revenue
- 300 runners
“Amazing event as always. I was very impressed with the organization and the attention to safety! Thanks again to all the wonderful people who worked tirelessly to make this run a reality.” – Participant
- Securing sponsors – Since the sponsorship proposals had just gone out the week before March 13th — just when Canada began transitioning into lockdown — it proved difficult for the JRTR team to find sponsors willing to commit during an unprecedented time.
- Gaining consumer confidence – Trying to market a race that had just opened registration in a time when the country was shutting down was difficult to accomplish. Participation numbers were less than 50% of JRTR’s usual count, despite a monumental effort to instil confidence.
- Trying to predict what’s best for the unforeseen future – Making decisions pertaining to the event was not an easy task. The Jordan’s Run the Runway team felt they couldn’t predict what was going to happen in the next week, yet alone 6 months down the road.
- Securing event location – Convincing their host who relies on a healthy workforce to still host the after hours event was also a challenging task.
- Changing the setup they’ve had for years – The JRTR team had to move their event that normally has an entire indoor component containing washrooms and shelter to a fully outdoor setup. Keeping everyone safe was a top priority for the event organizers of Jordan’s Run the Runway.
- Maintained a safe event environment
- Exceeded goal of 300 runners (ended up with 347)
- Exceeded fundraising goal of $50,000 (raised $51,321)
- Came very close to goal of $30,000 in registration revenue ($29, 850)
“This is biased, as I feel that Race Roster is a partner with us not just a company who helps. We faced these challenges head on, together. I felt that Race Roster voiced their opinion on behalf of the running industry ensuring we remembered that our race could have an impact on the ability for others to host races moving forward. The support team was amazing at helping set up the Virtual race even when i had no idea of what that would even entail. They helped fix our registration page to ensure the links that needed to be there were there. Their responses were speedy and friendly and they listened to the problems we had.
– Christina Harley, Regional Manager, Development at YMCA of Southwestern Ontario
“Thank you thank you thank you! To the race organizers, the timing crew, the wonderful volunteers and all who participated today. A perfect day for a real race. As a runner I can’t express how much I missed this. You guys did an amazing job and had all of us running with a smile on our faces.” – Participant
The Jordan’s Run the Runway team took on every obstacle as soon as they encountered each one.
“We faced our challenges one step at a time, looking at each obstacle just as that, something that was standing in your way from moving onto the next.” says Christina Harley, Regional Manager, Development at YMCA of Southwestern Ontario, “There were lots of events around North America who were putting good practices into place so we borrowed their ideas and published materials to help design ours around them.”
Jordan’s Run the Runway 2020 Plan
The JRTR team worked twice as hard to host this event in 2020. Their efforts included:
- New parking lot procedures
- Creating screening locations
- Creating contactless check-in
- 5x on communication prior to the event
- Giving away branded face coverings instead of shirts
- Ordering portable toilets
- Creating a separate start and finish line/area
- Ordering more tables, tents, etc
They formed a well thought-out plan to ensure the safety of everyone involved in the event. JRTR’s plan is outlined below. Additionally, you can download the plan in PDF format.
We’re prepared to listen and excited to help solve your problems
Your event deserves to be supported with technology designed with your goals in mind.

Parliament has started the second reading of bill No 2116 seeking to relaunch the State Investigation Bureau (SIB). It has not been put to vote yet but MPs took a principled decision to dismiss SIB chief Roman Truba.
After the bill is passed, the SIB will become a state law-enforcement body rather a central executive body carrying out law-enforcement activities.
The bureau will no longer be managed by a board. The SIB director will be able to make independent decisions and will bear full responsibility for its performance. If it is found unsatisfactory, he may be dismissed.
The mandate of the current director and his deputies will be terminated ahead of term. This amendment was sponsored by MP Taras Batenko, who represents Ihor Kolomoyskyy's Ukrop party, and backed by 259 MPs.
This bill also authorizes the transfer of Prosecutor-General's Office investigators who dealt with the Maydan cases to the SIB without a mandatory competition.
MPs will continue to discuss the bill in early December.


Gov. Greg Abbott signs 'fetal heartbeat' bill banning most abortions in Texas
Gov. Greg Abbott signed into law Wednesday legislation that prohibits abortion once a fetal heartbeat is detected, effectively banning most abortions in the state.
The restriction puts Texas at the vanguard among states challenging the boundaries of Roe v. Wade, the 1973 landmark Supreme Court case that established a woman's legal right to an abortion.
Senate Bill 8, a priority for Republican state lawmakers, would allow virtually any private citizen to sue an abortion provider or others who “aid and abet” an abortion in violation of the new ban.
The bill sailed through the Senate and House, despite fervent opposition from Democrats. Flanked by Republican lawmakers in his Capitol office, Abbott made good on his promise to sign the bill at a ceremony that was closed to the media and broadcast on Facebook.
"Our creator endowed us with the right to life, and yet millions of children lose their right to life every year because of abortion," Abbott said before signing the bill. "In Texas, we work to save those lives, and that's exactly what the Texas Legislature did this session."
In 2020, the state reported about 53,000 abortions, according to data from the Texas Health and Human Services Commission. The data show that the number of abortions performed in Texas annually has declined dramatically since 2001.
More:Texas 'heartbeat bill' banning most abortions heads to Gov. Greg Abbott's desk
Abortion law effective Sept. 1
There is not a specific time frame tied to SB 8. Fetal heartbeats can be detected as early as six weeks gestation — or six weeks from a woman’s last menstrual period, not since the start of her pregnancy — according to the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.
"When a heartbeat is detected, that innocent unborn life is protected!!" tweeted Rep. Shelby Slawson, R-Stephenville, author of an identical bill in the House.
Opponents of the law, which goes into effect Sept. 1, argue that it would prohibit abortions before most women are even aware they are pregnant, effectively outlawing the procedure. It also does not include exceptions in cases of rape or incest, a caveat that has long been the standard in abortion laws.
"For a person with a normal menstrual cycle, that is only two weeks after a missed period," said Dyana Limon-Mercado, executive director of Planned Parenthood Texas Votes, in a statement. "When you factor in the time it takes to confirm a pregnancy, consider your options and make a decision, schedule an appointment and comply with all the restrictions politicians have already put in place for patients and providers, a six-week ban essentially bans abortion outright."
The proposal was part of an aggressive agenda from abortion opponents during this year’s legislative session, which included numerous proposals designed to severely limit the availability of the procedure, with an eye to the changing power dynamics at the Supreme Court. Conservatives now hold a 6-3 majority on the high court.
Drucilla Tigner, a policy and advocacy strategist at the American Civil Liberties Union of Texas, said the new law is "the most extreme abortion ban in the country."
“Not only does this ban violate more than half a century of Supreme Court case law, it paves the way for anti-choice extremists to use our court system to go after anyone who performs abortions or considers supporting a person that has one," Tigner said in a statement. "But make no mistake, abortion is both legal in Texas and supported by the majority of Texans. The governor’s swipe of a pen can’t change the Constitution.”
Sen. Bryan Hughes, R-Mineola, author of SB 8, said he hopes it will serve as an example for other states looking to restrict abortion.
"The Texas Heartbeat Act is the most powerful pro-life legislation in Texas history and will stand as a model for the country," he said in a tweet.
More:Why anti-abortion advocates think the Texas 'fetal heartbeat' bill can survive a court challenge
Federal judges have blocked similar laws in other states, but proponents of the legislation in Texas are hopeful that by prohibiting public officials from enforcing the law and leaving it up to private citizens to sue violators, the law can pass legal muster.
This provision of the law has drawn intense criticism from lawyers, 400 of whom wrote a letter to lawmakers warning that the language used in the legislation is “exceptionally broad” and would create an “unprecedented” cause of action that "subverts the foundations of our judicial system."
Legal experts have said that prohibiting enforcement of the ban by public officials will not protect the law from legal challenges.
More:Texas 'heartbeat bill' banning abortions at 6 weeks gets initial approval from House
Elizabeth Sepper, a University of Texas law professor, told the American-Statesman in March that it is “unlikely that a federal court is going to fall for this” strategy employed in the legislation.
“You can’t attempt to strip constitutional rights by requiring someone to go into state court when they face a lawsuit from another private citizen,” she said. “Federal courts would immediately say, ‘Hey, wait a second: You can’t cut off the U.S. Constitution by framing what’s really a state law as a private matter between citizens.’”
Elizabeth Nash, principal policy associate at the Guttmacher Institute, said the civil action created through the law is "uniquely cruel."
“By allowing anyone, anywhere to sue people involved in providing or obtaining an abortion, this ban would open the floodgates for frivolous lawsuits, bury clinics under court cases and legal fees, and make it difficult for providers to remain open," Nash said in a statement. “This ban in Texas is clearly about controlling pregnant people’s bodies and preventing them from making decisions about their lives and futures.”
Lawmakers tweaked one element of the proposal before sending it to Abbott for approval and opted to explicitly limit the civil action created through the law to violations of the ban on abortions once a fetal heartbeat can be detected. Opponents argued that the original version of the legislation could have allowed for lawsuits to be filed against abortion providers and others for violations of any abortion-related regulation.
Lawmakers also added language to prohibit a person who impregnated a woman through rape, sexual assault or incest from bringing a lawsuit under the bill.

Between 1764 and 1767, it sowed terror from Langogne to Pinols, Saugues to Aumont-Aubrac. It eluded every attempted capture, every time. It proved more intelligent than the men who tracked it and who tried -- in vain-- to trap it.
It is killed ten times! And ten times, like the Phoenix, it rises from the ashes. What was it? Thirty historians, from simple amateurs to academic scholars, each as uninformed as the other, have tried to identify the Beast by tentatively pointing to the “Canis lupus”, our European wolf.
In 1988, in the first edition of the present work, R.F. Dubois demonstrated the inanity of these historians’ claims, regardless of their credentials, in blaming anything other than a man for committing what were obvious crimes. In 1989, his second edition definitively exonerated the wolf.
In the present edition, the mystery is solved and the Beast is identified! The man, or rather the men, who hid behind a hound trained to kill, who led it and guided it, these men are finally unmasked.
Year of publication of the presented edition : 1990

20 Comfortable Hammock Seats in the Living Room
Having a swing in your backyard as a kid is one thing while having a swing inside your home is another. This list that we have today is pretty much something people think about doing because they think it’s really nice to bring the outdoors — and I think it actually works most of the time, but then again it’s weird the next time around.
The way swing chairs are incorporated into the living room designs of these homes is really sweet. There are some living rooms here that are really charming because of the swing chairs – you must see these swing chair designs and the spaces in them; Choose and please and tell me about it.
1. Central Park West Penthouse
This is the most modern design on this list which is why I already added it at the beginning of this list. I think the color and materials are very nice and match the whole space. If you have time to check out this home’s designer website, you’ll see that there is another swing on the other window on the left – talk about symmetry.
2. Desert Mountain Retreat
These swing seats are really classy! They add a little rustic charm to this lovely home. The color combination on the chair and in the whole room is entertaining and intriguing at the same time. I love the size of these chairs because they definitely can convert into a daybed or something.
3. Dutch colonial residence
Here’s a homely way to add a hammock seat in your living room. Rattan or wood material is perfect and the fun colorful pillows add to its charm. I think the colorful aura of this place is fascinating and I think the art is very much appreciated here.
4. Germantown custom home
I think the swing seat in this living room is just heavenly. Probably because the entire living room actually looks like a magical paradise on the floor plus she added this white swing with that cute chandelier and cage on the side – this space is so cute!
5. Escape to the Hamptons Holiday House
Here is a contemporary living room with just the right items for it. The amazing swing bed, rattan chair, cute decorations and furniture is really a thing. The curtains make this space so elegant and gorgeous – love it!
6. Minneapolis, Georgia
I find this swing seat really great – I’m surprised the strings in here can hold it together. I really like the color of the hammock. It’s neutral and complements the color scheme found in this space; Plus it contrasts the color of the dining group – it works.
7. Muskoka’s Hut
If you have a great view of the outdoors like this house, I think, you can add an outdoor swing—seriously! But again, people have different tastes and different needs. I’m lucky to have actually seen beautifully crafted swing chairs like these because I think they were made especially for this home and they look real chic – like upscale royalty!
This home has a somewhat traditional approach with the addition of a hammock seat inside. They somehow match the black rattan chairs and still manage to complement the homey feel this home really has.
9. Ruby Kelly House
If the homes of people I know had swings like this, I think I’d consider copying their design, because obviously adding swings like these creates a much more relaxed and lively feel. Although I think it can make people lazier, I think it would still be a good thing because your kids want to stay home and relax more.
10. Tucked away
The color of this living room is really bright! I love green, why not – especially this one actually but I think this room needs a bit more color – like blue or black to subdue the color a bit. The paintings on the wall look really nice, I love it; Also, I think the ship-like window on the side of the actual window is really cool!
I wish I could get a picture of this swing a little closer because I think it’s really cute. I like to think that when they looked in the little corner by the window, they really planned to add a nice swing seat like this one.
12. Cameron Saw Palmetto Bluff Home
This sitting area has a much quieter view – lots of trees and maybe a mountain nearby. I love how the designer really made sure there were glass walls for this space because then, the people who hang out here can use the calming effect that the trees have on the people – the greens, in particular.
13. Fox River Classic
This classic Fox River home is definitely a classic – the choice of furniture, minimal décor, stone-walled fireplace and light fixture they actually chose for this space is very interesting. I am definitely fond of the fact that this living room actually has enough windows for people to enjoy the view outdoors.
14. Teen Retreat Lake Forest
I find it strange that they added the hammock behind the sofa, but then again, there is a bit of a cavern on this side of the living room which is why they added a nice hammock there. Adding beanbags or cute seating like pillows can be great for getting extra seating especially for your kids or teens.
This swing seat sure looks like a regular stool to which they have added metallic twine! I don’t see anything wrong with that, but I think they could have been nicer because this rustic space just needs it.
16. Grand Floh Chalet
Well, this house definitely has enough swings for the whole family! These twists look really comfortable and relaxing due to their shape and silky material. If you sit in one of these swings, I think you’ll have a quick nap, you won’t even notice.
17. Lake House
If I’m not mistaken, I think the swing seat in this photo is actually made of steel. Very thin and can definitely hold a lot of weight. I like how it is strategically placed in the corner with all the sunshine towards it. I don’t think this would be a great afternoon!
18. Akdiana Street Good Dream Home
This cute nook is sure to feel like a paradise sent to this home. I love the corridor that really opens up to this small space with the swing and the cute decorations found here. If you notice the industrial light outside the corridor, I think it definitely makes this space really beautiful.
19. Wabi Belgoim
It might sound pretty much like we’re promoting this beautiful swing seat – but I don’t see why not? This is one cute swing that actually made this white space look more interesting and fun. The hanging chair actually gives this space a bit of an industrial feel.
20. Indian Living Room in Los Angeles
Last on this list is a luxurious looking swing seat that is meant to make your Indian living room truly stunning! The details used on the pillows, decorations, and the hammock itself are absolutely stunning and legit! If it happened to be an Indian bar or something, I think I would definitely go!
Growing up, we usually had a hammock outside our house and I think once we get really old we tend to miss things like this and it’s a good idea to bring it indoors to keep as a reminder but at the same time a statement piece for your home. I think your guests will love it; As with 20 adorable rocking chairs in the living room are sweet and charming. Go and get the replacement for yourself now!

I’ve never crate trained before, this is all new to me. My new puppy pees the bed when I let her sleep with me and she needs to be in the crate while I’m at work for 4 to 5 hours. She likes her crate and wont potty in it, but cries at night. I think she just needs to potty during the night like I do. I’m going to try taking her out every time I go pee and putting her back in. When she stops peeing the my bed at night she can sleep with me. I’ve never had a puppy pee my bed at night before, but she’s wat too small to jump down and up by hersel, and not yet house broken. Other than that she’s great, and this artical isn’t all wrong. Dogs dont like to potty where they sleep and eat, and they are pack animals so they usually sleep together. I feel bad making her sleep alone right now.
Once your dog is hanging out in her closed crate without signs of stress, it’s time to lengthen her stay. Use a favorite toy or treat to encourage her to enter the crate, then close it. Hang out by the crate for several minutes, then go into a different room for a few minutes so she gets used to the idea of staying in the crate alone. When you return, don’t open the crate immediately. Instead, sit with her again for a few more minutes and then open the door.Keep increasing the time as you do this until your dog is able to stay in the locked crate for half an hour without your presence. When she’s able to do this, she’s ready for you to leave her for short periods and possibly even sleep in the closed crate overnight. Make sure you keep the crate relatively nearby for overnight stays though. Puppies usually need to go to the bathroom overnight and you’ll want to be able to let her out.
Welcome to the world of dog ownership..where the reality sucks more than the dream. I have a 16 month old mini schnauzer who was a pain to potty train…and here is the kicker, he STILL will mess in the house and crate. He KNOWS it is wrong to do both as he is “sneaky” about it, and or gives the sad eye look. Just last night he peed the crate and shoved his whole face in it as if to”cover the piss with air”. I slide the tray out and cleaned it with him in the crate. Then I washed my hands and came back to see him in stance and crapping the cage. Why? Why did he do this when he had been taken out, and refused to eat that day? Even better why did he not crap after he peed? Why did he watch me clean his pee and then wait for me to walk away to make another mess? Because he had been crated all day long except to potty and eat. I am in the middle of an allergic reaction to something and wanted to see if keeping him crated would stop the hives. Apparently he was upset from being stuck in a crate all day.
The metal frame construction of the Pet Life 360-Degree Vista-View Soft Folding Collapsible Crate ensures ultimate durability when traveling. Mesh windows give your pooch a 360-degree view that he'll love, and multiple entrances make it easy on the both of you. A built-in leash holder keeps your pet from wandering off, and the duffle-style nylon handles make it easy for you to grab and go.
I had this problem with my Chihuahua/Yorkie mixed. I moved her kennel by the back door. The backyard is where she uses the bathroom. I allowed her to stay in the yard for one hour per bathroom break. I monitored her intake. I noticed that after each meal she immediately used the bathroom- doing a number 1 and 2. I would never leave her food out because I wouldn’t be able to monitor her bathroom break. I fed her twice to 3xs a day with plenty of treats for using the bathroom outside. I treated her as soo as she walked back in the house- but that’s only if she actually used the bathroom. I hope this helps. House breaking a puppy can be frustrating.
Sliverylake Heavy Duty Metal Cage – An even cheaper alternative is this heavy duty metal cage from Sliverylake. The design is simpler and it's not as sturdy as either ProSelect of Variocage, but if you don'g have a hyperactive extra large dog, then this may be a better choice considering that you also pay significantly less for it. The standard features will be more than enough.
Once you’ve decided that crate training is for you, and which crate suits your canine companion best, it’s time to look at the actual process of crate training your pup. While the length of time it takes to crate train depends on your individual animal, his or her attitude, age, and past experiences, one thing’s for sure: you always want your dog to associate the crate with something pleasant. And even with the best dogs, baby steps are the best way to make this happen.

There are a lot of people out there saying a lot of things about the new Arizona law on illegal aliens. The milder statements have been that it's clearly invalid (statements by Eric Holder and Janet Napolitano, and earlier statements by Barack Obama), and that it was "poorly conceived" (later Obama statement). Many have said it is obviously unconstitutional, requires racial profiling, and violates U.S. treaty obligations. Others have been calling it racist and immoral, and have accused Arizona of being filled with Nazis for having passed it.
Southern Arizona's Congressman Raúl Grijalva has called on President Obama to void the law, and has called for a boycott of his own state for having passed it. It looks like Los Angeles may join that boycott which Arizona power plants may accommodate by sending to other states the large amount of electricity they currently supply to that city. Congresswoman Linda Sanchez, from southern California, has said white supremacist groups are behind the passage of this law.
Statements calling the Arizona law racist and xenophobic, and a brutal violation of human rights, have come from dictators Fidel Castro of Cuba and Hugo Chavez of Venezuela.
And on a visit to Washington, D.C., Mexican President Felipe Calderón attacked Arizona and its new law both in a speech to the Congress (drawing a standing ovation from Congressional Democrats) and in a joint press conference with President Obama at the White House.
There is one common thread among all these views and statements: As best I can determine, not a single one of the people making these statements have actually read the Arizona law.
Here's part of why that's interesting: The Arizona law mirrors the corresponding federal law, though with prohibitions against racial profiling the federal law lacks. By that means, it makes violations of the federal immigration law also violations of state law, enabling the state and local authorities to enforce them.
All of which would be known to all these folks if they would just read the bill. It's not like the Arizona law is a 2700 page monstrosity the law is just ten pages long. Is it really too much to ask that our most senior officials read the bill before pontificating about it? It might actually keep them from making incredibly ignorant public statements. (On the other hand, maybe they simply don't want to know what's actually in the new law.)
This whole situation has caused me three particular lines of thought:
Consider why Arizona has been pushed into passing a law like this. Phoenix has become the kidnapping capital of the world as the drug cartels have been pushing across our far-too-open border. Ranchers have been dealing with increasing amounds of theft and destruction, both of their property and of the region's Sonoran Desert. Attempts to stop the vandals and human traffickers have gotten area ranchers hauled into court or murdered by illegal aliens. Conditions have become intolerable. Something had to be done has to be done and the Obama Administration, like its predecessors for at least two decades, has completely abdicated its responsibility for border security.
Everything we hear from the press and media, and nearly everything we hear from our nation's political leadership, opposes this new Arizona law. To restate this, everything we hear from the elites opposes this law. Despite this, 70% of Arizonans and a significant majority of all Americans support this law. In fact, even a major portion of American politicians support it. That's why at least 18 other states are now considering passage of similar laws. And that's not counting the states like California who already have laws on the books with similar provisions.
Thinking about the people demonstrating against this law (for example here, I keep wondering where they were before. If this law is so onerous, so obviously racist, and so obviously unconstitutional, why weren't they protesting when the U.S. Congress passed (and the president signed) the same provisions? Where were they when California passed their similar law? My conclusion is that the selective outrage of the politicians and media and demonstrators isn't about this law or any of its provisions it's really about the fact that, unlike other jurisdictions in the past, Arizona will probably actually enforce this law.
Under these circumstances, I guess I should revise my initial statement: There are a lot of people out there spouting really stupid stuff about the new Arizona law on illegal aliens. Their statements reflect either complete ignorance or deliberate stupidity about the law. The only alternative is that they (at least some of them) know what's actually in the law and are being deliberately dishonest about it for political purposes.
All that said, it may still be open for discussion whether this particular law is the best approach to the illegal aliens problems. After all, it doesn't secure the border to stop the illegal entries. (No city or state can accomplish that.) But as an absolute baseline, I like the policy now established in Albuquerque under which every individual processed into the detention center every individual placed under arrest is interviewed by ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) to determine his/her citizenship and residency status. And I don't see any problem with similar immigration inquiries under circumstances when the law enforcement officer has the discretion as to whether to detain the individual or not.
The Department of Justice is reviewing the Arizona law, and considering what action (if any) to recommend to Attorney General Eric Holder. ABC News has reported the draft DOJ conclusion to be that "the Arizona legislature exceeded its authority in crafting a law that could impede federal responsibility for enforcing immigration laws." This conclusion, draft or otherwise, is ludicrous it is not logically possible to impede the federal government in performance of responsibilities it has conclusively demonstrated it has no intention of performing. This does, however, suggest an approach that might be taken either instead of, or in addition to, passage of a law like Arizona's: The border states, individually and/or collectively, could sue the Administration and the federal government (I would think both for specific performance and a trillion dollars or so in damages) over its dereliction of duty in abrogating its responsibilities in securing the borders and enforcing the immigration statutes. Maybe that would actually get their attention.

How good are the electric guitars by Givson? I mean, I don't expect them to be the best...but for low/low-medium quality range of a guitar...how good are they? Actually, a friend of mine has one which was given to him by another friend (and that guy never reclaimed it, strangely enough). My friend says he can give it to me (he doesn't play guitar), and it can be of unestimable value to me, if it doesn't wreck my playing style etc. Edit - Hey, wow, 1999th topic in this FORUM.


Puerto Rico’s Resident Commissioner Pedro Pierluisi recently made a speech on the floor of the House of Representatives to convey the results of the recent plebiscite to the American public, describe the significance of those results, and outline the steps he plans to take to implement them.
Pierluisi first explained how plebiscite voters were asked whether they want Puerto Rico to remain a territory. He noted that over 1.7 million people answered this question, roughly 75 percent of registered voters on the island, and that fifty-four percent said they did not want the current status to continue while forty-six percent said they did. Pierluisi then outlined how voters were asked to express their preference among the three viable alternatives to the current status (statehood, free association, and independence) and that over 1.3 million people chose an option. Sixty-one percent voted for statehood, thirty-three percent voted for free association, and five percent voted for independence. He noted that 472,000 voters did not provide an answer.
Pierluisi – who is Puerto Rico’s lone, non-voting Member of Congress – then interpreted the plebiscite results for his colleagues and pledged to honor the votes of his constituents by bringing democracy to the United States’s largest territory:
“This plebiscite marked the first time voters were directly asked whether they want Puerto Rico to remain a territory. One of the two main political parties in Puerto Rico urged a “yes” vote. Nevertheless, the “no” vote won by eight points. Those voting “no” included statehood supporters, as well as advocates of independence and free association. These three groups are united in their opposition to the current status which is colonial in nature. It deprives Puerto Ricans of their right to choose their leaders who make their national laws and to equal treatment under those laws.
Not one of my stateside colleagues in Congress would accept this response for their constituents. So they should respect that my constituents no longer accept it either.
The rejection of territory status fundamentally changes the terms of this debate. After this vote, the question is not whether but when Puerto Rico will cease to be a territory and will have a fully democratic status. Defenders of the status quo may obstruct change in the short term, but in a democracy, the will of the people ultimately prevails.
Let me turn to the second question in the plebiscite, asking voters which status should replace the current status. Of the 1.3 million people who voted for one of the three options, a supermajority chose statehood. Of critical importance, the 810,000 votes for statehood on the second question exceeded the 803,000 votes for the current status on the first question. For the first time, there are more people in Puerto Rico who want to become a State than who want to continue as a territory. This fact further undermines the democratic legitimacy of the current status.
Some wish to downplay the results of the plebiscite by citing the voters who left the second question blank, but this argument does not withstand scrutiny. In our democracy, outcomes are determined by ballots properly cast. Power rests with the citizen who votes, not the one who stays home or who refuses to choose from among the options provided.
Some voters may have left the second question blank simply because they prefer the current status to its alternatives. Those voters were able to vote for the current status in the first question. So their viewpoint was reflected in the plebiscite results. Others may have declined to answer because they were led to believe there was another option that should have been on the ballot, a best-of-all-worlds proposal called “enhanced commonwealth.” But each of the last four Presidential administrations has rejected this proposal, as have all key congressional leaders. A blank vote to protest the exclusion of an impossible status proposal is entitled to no weight.
As Puerto Rico’s representative in the U.S. Congress, I will work with my allies to ensure that the President and Congress take appropriate action in light of these results. The people of Puerto Rico have spoken, and I intend to make certain that their voice is heard loud and clear.”
