Fascinating story in today’s New Mexican on Public Education Designate Secretary-Designate Hanna Skandera at the LESC hearing yesterday. Two excerpts:
“Do we have room for improvement, particularly on the implementation side? Absolutely,” Skandera said.
Skandera presented a list of remedies to address other problems with the evaluation system, including assigning a departmental liaison to every one of the state’s 89 districts and nearly 100 charter schools to ensure better communication and data collection; increased training on how the system works; use of a database educators could access to ensure their own information is correct; and the creation of a pilot program in Albuquerque Public Schools to better evaluate special education teachers.
Oh, Ms. Skandera, so we should have just ignored that whole line of bull that it was all the Districts’ fault for providing lousy information? Point taken that we should never, ever believe anything you and your staff say, again.
Which does raise the slight conundrum for teachers/administrators of having to “trust” you/PED in terms of this year’s VAM/evaluation scores. Let’s see, consider a single piece of paper with unexplained numbers from an admittedly flawed process as “fact,” or throw evaluation into garbage based on infallible evidence that you just make shit up?
Hold on…I’m thinking over this one. Hmmm…
Meanwhile, the continued debate over whether the statistical garbage should count for 50% of a teacher’s evaluation or something less than 50% is, itself, a red herring. We’re talking garbage here. It’s now admitted garbage that Ms. Skandera says will be rectified by continuing to build the plane while it flies (or continues its flight plan directly into a rather large statistical mountain):
“We don’t intend to rewind. We intend to learn as we continue to move forward.”
Keep learning Ms. Skandera. You’ll have a evaluation system we teachers can trust….uh, actually never. Oh, one more thing. Good luck with those lawsuits that will inevitably come if you ever try to fire a teacher while you and your staff learn. Those should cost New Mexicans a good chunk of change.

Five current and former New Orleans Police officers were convicted Aug. 5 in a federal court in the post-Katrina shooting of six unarmed people on the Danziger Bridge.
Six days after Katrina on Sept. 4, Kenneth Brown, Robert Gisevius, Robert Faulcon and Anthony Villavaso shot six people on the bridge –killing two people–and then engaged in a cover-up, according to the five-woman, seven-man jury. Arthur Kaufman, a fifth defendant has been convicted of charges stemming from the cover-up.
“The verdicts in the Danziger Bridge trial provide significant closure to a dark chapter in our city’s history. We now have an opportunity to turn the page and to heal,” New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu said in a statement. “With these verdicts, the American justice system delivered a clear message that no one stands above the law and that police abuse and misconduct will not be tolerated. “
Of the people killed at the scene one was 40-year-old Ronald Madison, a mentally-ill man who was shot in the back by a shotgun.
The trial was a high-profile test of the Justice Department’s effort to clean up a police department marred by a reputation for corruption and brutality. A total of 20 current or former New Orleans police officers were charged last year in a series of federal probes. Most of the cases center on actions during the aftermath of the Aug. 29, 2005, storm, which plunged the flooded city into a state of lawlessness and desperation.
The mother of 17-year-old James Brissette, one of the people killed on the bridge, told the Associated Press she was relieved by the verdict after “a long, hard six years.”
His mother, Sherrel Johnson, said she would now try to move on but lamented what her son would miss out on, according to the AP.
“For him there will be no prom, no baby, no nothing. My child will never have nothing,” she said.
The family of Ronald Madison, a 40-year-old disabled man fatally shot on the bridge, said in a statement the family had waited six years to “find out what really happened on that bridge.”
Madison’s sister Jackie Madison Brown read the statement, which also said that after an event like Katrina, “all citizens, no matter what color or what class, deserve protection.”
After the verdict was read, Justice Department prosecutor Bobbi Bernstein became emotional, hugging the families of Madison and Brissette and holding hands with two of Madison’s sisters.
Sentencing was tentatively scheduled for Dec. 14. Kaufman remains free on bond until he is sentenced. The other four officers already are jailed and face possible life prison sentences.
Faulcon, the officer who fired the shot that killed Madison, testified on July 27 that he saw guns and that’s why he fired.
“I saw guns in that split second. Out of my peripheral vision I saw officers in a defensive position, they were shooting. That’s when I shot my gun,” Faulcon said according to WWL TV in New Orleans. “I feel horrible because in that split second, I may have been right or wrong. If I would have known those people didn’t have weapons, I wouldn’t have fired my weapon.”
His message didn’t resonate with the jury or with prosecutors who said that the circumstances arising from the storm didn’t give the officers the right to act with lawlessness.
“They thought because of Katrina no one was watching,” said Assistant U.S. Attorney Theodore Carter according to the New Orleans Times-Picayune. “They thought they could do what they wanted to do and there wouldn’t be any consequences.”
For Madison’s family, the verdict is a long-time coming, but is bittersweet because no matter what the jury said, Madison is still gone.
“We will never be completely healed, because we will never have Ronald Madison back,” Madison’s brother Lance, who was with him on the bridge and who was initially arrested after the shooting, told WWL-TV in New Orleans.

The Supreme Court ruled Monday that 2 Live Crew’s rap version of “Oh, Pretty Woman” qualifies as a full-fledged parody, thus protecting it from a copyright infringement suit from the owners of the Roy Orbison hit.
The unanimous ruling should solidify protection from copyright infringement suits for parodies such as Mark Russell’s political ditties on PBS, Weird Al Yankovic’s takeoffs of Michael Jackson and radio deejay Steve Dahl’s outrageous versions of Pink Floyd tunes. The ruling will also apply to film parodies, such as the two “Hot Shots!” films and TV shows like “In Living Color” and “Saturday Night Live.”
The high court ruled that the parody version by the 2 Live Crew rappers of Roy Orbison’s 1964 classic “Oh, Pretty Woman” may constitute fair use under current copyright law.
Justice David Souter, writing the majority opinion, said the court rejected a lower court argument that the copyright owners must grant approval for commercial song parodies.
The dispute arose when Crew singer Luther Campbell penned his version in 1989 , titled “Pretty Woman.” He testified that he wanted to make a humorous satire of the original work.
Although the lyrics of the two songs start out the same, the parody version takes on what the plaintiffs called a more “vulgar” tone.
“Big hairy woman, you need to shave that stuff. Big hairy woman — you know I bet it’s tough,” says the rap version, which later adds, “Two timin’ woman, now I know the baby ain’t mine.”
2 Live Crew released its version on the album “As Clean as They Wanna Be,” giving credit to the co-authors Orbison and William Dees, as well as to the publishing firm.
Acuff-Rose, which had denied the rappers permission to use the original, then sued, charging copyright infringement. At stake was more than $ 13 million in royalties.
Ohio’s court reinstated
A federal judge threw out the suit, but a U.S. Court of Appeals in Ohio reinstated it, ruling that 2 Live Crew had copied excessively from the original song.
Souter said the appeals court’s decision was wrong.
“It is true, of course, that 2 Live Crew copied the characteristic opening bass riff of the original and true that the words of the first line copy the Orbison lyrics,” he said.
“If 2 Live Crew had copied a significantly less memorable part of the original, it is difficult to see how its (parody) would have come through,” Souter said.
“Moreover, 2 Live Crew thereafter departed markedly from the Orbison lyrics and produced otherwise distinctive music,” he said.
Souter rejected the argument that the parody version hurts the potential market or value for the original song. He said the rap parody was aimed at an entirely different market than the Orbison song.
David Nimmer, a Los Angeles attorney and copyright expert whose book on the subject –“Nimmer on Copyright”– was cited in the trial, said the ruling will affect songs, films, plays, TV skits, sitcoms, virtually anything that can be considered a parody.
Peace of mind
He said the decision does not actually provide any legal protection for parodies but should give parody writers peace of mind against copyright infringement suits.
“The Supreme Court has set to rest their fears,” he said. “It will mean that the courts will deal with these on a case-by-case basis. They’ll look at all the circumstances involved.”
“If the decision had been the other way, they all would have been out the window,” Nimmer added. “The (parody) genre itself is protected.”
Supporting rap’s defense
Gotham-based copyright attorney Philippe Bennett, who reps a number of smaller songwriting clients, said that while parodist Mark Russell and the political singing group the Capitol Steps filed briefs supporting the rap group’s defense, Michael Jackson, Dolly Parton and the estate of George and Ira Gershwin filed court papers backing the original owners of the music.
“It’s the commercial value question at all times,” he said. “How important is this parody going to be commercially? What is the likely repercussion to the original copyright owner?”

Looking for an easy strawberry jam recipe? This one is pectin-free and only has 3 ingredients!
A few weeks ago, strawberries were on sale for just $0.88/lb at Kroger! We bought 10 lbs, and decided to use most of them to make homemade strawberry jam.
Our two kids eat 3 PBJs each time we have them for lunch, which honestly is pretty much every day. Jam and jelly are so expensive, and we go through each jar very quickly.
But this was an easy recipe, and it didn’t even have pectin in it! Lemon juice has a natural pectin (as does apples), and this turned out delicious!
Mix 1 lb of strawberries, 3/4 cup sugar, and 2 Tbsp of lemon juice in a saucepan (you can use organic). Then stir on med-low heat until sugar is dissolved.
Increase the heat to med-high and bring to a boil. Boil for about 30 minutes, stirring continuously while mashing the strawberries.
You’ll know it’s done when the jam is thick (it will not thicken more as it cools) and bubbles completely cover the surface of the jam. (If you have a candy thermometer, this is about 215*).
Pour jam into jars and let cool. We store them in our freezer.
If you don’t want to use this much sugar, you can substitute the sugar with 2/3 cup of honey and a small grated apple.
Enjoy your delicious jam!

Sad days when music is a threat to human rights
There is no excuse for selling the albums of a DJ who uses violent homophobic lyrics, writes Emma Young.
'Bon a fire pon a kuh pon mister fagoty." This is Jamaican slang, or patois, for "take a bazooka and kill gay men" and they're the lyrics of dance-hall DJ Beenie Man.
This rhythmic persecution is not a one-off: the track Damn promotes the "execution of all queers", Han Up Deh encourages the hanging of lesbians on a piece of rope ("hang chi chi gal wid a long piece of rope"), and the shooting of all gay men and gay women is a general theme. As Justin Timberlake might ask, where is the love?
Punters and police have been asking the same question. Beenie Man concerts in London in the past couple of months have been cancelled or censored due to concerns that the hate-filled lyrics would encourage violence against homosexuals and the police are contemplating whether or not to charge him for inciting hate crimes.
The furore against the performer has recently increased since his music started turning up in mainstream international markets under the auspices of Virgin Records and human rights groups started getting angrier.
He's one of the most successful dance-hall names worldwide. He's had chart success in the US and Britain, and in the top 40 charts in Australia with the track Feel It Boy. He is set to release his new album, Back to Basics, here next month. Singles from the album, such as Dude, are in circulation on Australian airwaves and with this exposure has come a growing local fan base.
Beenie Man has kindly favoured significantly cleaner lyrics in his new album, focusing more on the desires of heterosexual sex then the disposal of homosexuals. This cynical nod to commercialism has been beefed up by the support of Virgin Records. It issued a press release at the beginning of August trying to convince a critical market of his desire not to "hurt" or encourage the execution of homosexuals.
That sounds lovely and just slightly "born again", but this flash of good taste has turned out to be an isolated incident. Beenie Man has again attempted to perform songs containing the aggressively homophobic lyrics in Britain, has refused to remove the homophobic albums from stores, and his representatives immediately retracted the apology and defended his right to criticise, if not demonise, "the homosexual lifestyle".
He's also tried to justify his habit of making musical hatred by referencing the mood of his lyrics to the entrenched homophobia of his homeland. "The music reflects how Jamaican people see it," he said. "I think there are things that are a part of Caribbean culture just like any other culture in the world. People have beliefs and that comes from who they are. The music come from that." These are not the sounds of contrition.
Jamaica does have a horrible record of discriminating against its gays. It criminalises the "abominable crime of buggery" with a punishment of up to 10 years' jail, and threatens the public display of any kind of physical intimacy between men with up to two years' jail.
Jamaica's highest profile gay activist was recently stabbed to death in his home and there are fears his murder was motivated by his sexual orientation, and at least five gay Jamaicans have been granted asylum in Britain to protect them from homophobia. And police want to question Buju Banton, another Jamaican performer, for allegedly taking part in an armed attack on a gay household.
A spokeswoman for Amnesty International's campaign against homophobia in Jamaica, Sarah Green, has speculated on the capacity of the music to inflict indirect harm: "We are very concerned that hateful lyrics have helped to create a culture and atmosphere of violence."
So Beenie Man has cultural representation, but this association with fact clearly doesn't make it right. One man's bigotry can't be justified by the ignorant concurrence of a nation; the world has already made enough mistakes on that premise.
His lyrics are utterly offensive. They constitute a radical, right-wing reaction to a lifestyle that isn't his own. Beenie Man doesn't try to attribute his style to the invention of a musical character or satire, but acknowledges them as a perpetuation of the prejudices inherent to Jamaican culture. This is no excuse.
While the freedom of artistic expression is a valuable tenet of democratic society, it becomes less so when it infringes on the freedom of the individual to live. An idea isn't legitimate just because it has a soundtrack and the person who chants it calls themselves an artist: the reasoning is just as repugnant even when it has rhythm.
While human rights groups are campaigning for censorship and legal prosecution of the "artist" under British laws, mainstream consumers in Australia might do just as well to stunt his success by not buying his CDs. Who needs to sanctify the importation of homophobia when our Government and its faithful Opposition are so willing to institutionalise the prejudice in federal legislation?
If this is music with a message these days, the gig's up.

We're in the first hours of spring 2017 and there are many reasons to be excited. Weather is just one.
This year, spring begins on a day with temperatures hovering in the low 70s after a late winter cold snap put us on ice.
Here are 11 reasons to be excited about spring:
1. 11 on the Wizometer
The 11Alive StormTrackers set the Wizometer to 11 for the first day of spring. This afternoon will feel more spring-like with a highs in the low 70s. We should still see a lot of sunshine early in the day. More on today's weather, here.
2. Opening Day for baseball
Photos: Braves report to Spring Training
April 3 marks the beginning of Major League Baseball. This is the first time the Atlanta Braves will play at their new home in Cobb County's SunTrust Park. They announced their Opening Day starter and pitcher rotation last week. More on what to expect at SunTrust Park, here.
3. Longer days ahead
Days are beginning to get longer as spring matures. Days are short in winter, but we'll start having equal 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of night.
Here is a view of the first sunrise of spring.
4. Warmer weather on the way
The first week of spring boasts temperatures in the high and low 70s. It cools down on Thursday, but only for a day. In general, spring promises warmer weather.
5. Rolling the windows down
Cool breezes are an exciting thing to look forward to on those spring commutes or weekend warrior getaways. When the sun is high, roll the windows down or drop that top and let the spring air be your air conditioner.
6. Sundresses and seersuckers
Warmer weather also means it's time to show some skin and get that vital vitamin D. Whether you're a sundresses- and seersucker-kind-of person or a flip flops and cuts-offs man, these warmer temperatures and sunshine create a welcoming environment for spring fashion staples.
7. Spring equinox
The sun crossed right over the equator at 6:28 a.m., on March 20, 2017 for the vernal equinox.
8. April showers bring May flowers
Many people started planting at the end of winter because it was so warm. Either way, spring is planting season for beautiful flowers and delicious crops.
9. Spring break
Collegiate and grade school students alike will take a break from their studies to smell the flowers and relax. In mid-March, federal authorities issued travel warnings for people looking to travel to Mexico for spring break. More on the advisory, here.
10. Picnics and egg hunts
It's about that time to pull out the blankets and baskets for a good ol' American lunch on the grass, with Easter just around the corner.
11. April gives birth (hopefully...)
April has been roaming around her home for weeks as the world has watched, eagerly awaiting to finally welcome her giraffe calf. Will that calf come this spring? HOPEFULLY. Join the world and watch her live stream, here.


Chipmaker Intel is currently working on Linux support for its next generation of USB, version 3.0. The new bus specification promises a 5 Gbit per second transfer speed, ten times faster than USB 2.0.
Intel developer Sarah Sharp describes her work on USB 3.0 in her recent blog with these words: "Now that the bus specification is public, I can finally talk about the code... I've been writing a Linux driver for xHCI (the new USB 3.0 host controller), and changing the Linux kernel stack to support USB 3.0 devices." As she says, the wire speed will be 5 Gbps, while USB 2.0 languishes at 480 Mbps: "Roughly speaking, it means that a file that takes 30 minutes to transfer over USB 2.0 could take 3 minutes to transfer under USB 3.0."
In a video on her blog, Sharp demonstrates a USB 3.0 prototype from hardware provider Fresco Logic that runs under Linux. "My Linux xHCI driver is necessary to communicate with the USB 3.0 device through the xHCI host controller prototype," she adds. She was happy with the results: "The demo showed speeds that were about 3.5 times faster than USB 2.0 high speed devices. I expect this demo to be even faster when the device and host controller are implemented in silicon." The new bus also provides better power management that leads to longer battery life. And it is backward compatible so that you can continue to use it with USB 2.0 hardware.
Sharp asserts that USB 3.0 support for Linux means having to adapt the Linux USB stack to the new device speed and develop a new driver for the xHCI host controller. She is beginning the kernel patches for the USB changes and hoping that Red Hat, Novell and Ubuntu and other distros will begin picking them up. The work on the xHCI host controller will be a "little trickier," she says, because it is currently under a non-disclosure agreement as a 0.9 draft specification that isn't yet ready for Linux community review.
As much as basic USB 3.0 is there, "some features might be lacking. We might not have awesome power management right off the bat, or we might be missing USB 3.0 support from some class drivers," Sharp says, "My driver will be marked EXPERIMENTAL for a reason. ;)" Nevertheless, shipping code earlier and often (before it is "perfect") gives reviewers a better chance to suggest changes. Finally, she says that she's "willing to test new devices and host controllers on an unofficial basis to make sure they work properly under Linux” and provides her email address at Sarah.A.Sharp@linux.intel.com.
Microsoft is planning the new USB support for its upcoming Windows 7. According to Jeff Ravencraft, head of Intel's USB Promoter Group, the first USB 3.0 devices should start appearing the middle of 2009. The USB 3.0 specification is available here.

text: The two sectors that have attracted the most buyers during this real estate cycle are apartments and self-storage facilities. The pair often go hand-in-hand and enjoy a symbiotic relationship. Apartments have become coveted as a result of demographic trends and a willingness to forego home ownership, especially among Millennials aged 25 to 37 and empty-nester baby boomers born between 1946 and 1964. Self-storage facilities have grown in popularity among developers and investors alike in large part because Americans often accumulate more possessions than they can store – especially in apartments. Competing buyers for these product types are driving up prices and shortening due diligence periods. While Harshman & Co. echoes economists in believing the long-term outlook for both sectors is strong, we also believe that the key to their success stems from efficient management and quality locations. The difference between these products and single-tenant investments – such as a stand-alone Starbucks coffee shop or a CVS Pharmacy – is that management plays a more important role. Both multifamily complexes and self-storage projects are businesses with tremendous upsides but they are also vulnerable to the negative impacts of market downturns as well. For instance, while macro-economic forces may push some people into apartments because they are unable to save the necessary money for a down payment or qualify for a mortgage, those same forces could lower occupancy rates for self-storage product, as consumers search for ways to trim costs in times of economic distress.

Conflict-weary Kashmir Marks 20 Yrs Of Insurgency
13 December 2009
: In a year of watershed events from Berlin to Tiananmen Square, 1989 also witnessed the birth of one of the world's longest-running separatist insurgencies in Indian Kashmir. Twenty years on, the bitter struggle against Indian rule in the scenic, Muslim-majority Himalayan region continues, even though some groups that took up arms have since chosen to eschew violence. India puts the official death toll at more than 47,000 people, while human rights groups say the number of dead and disappeared is closer to 70,000. While the roots of the problem go back to the Indian sub-continent's gaining of independence and subsequent partition in 1947, the launch of the full-scale insurgency is generally traced to the December 1989 kidnap of the daughter of India's home minister. Rubiaya Sayeed, then a 23-year-old medical intern, was freed on December 13 1989 in exchange for five jailed militants whose release triggered celebrations across the Kashmir valley. It was the police response - a fierce crackdown in which more than 100 people were killed - that prompted separatist-minded Kashmiris to take up arms against the Indian state, though low-key militancy had already been born. Among the militants was Afroz Ahmed, now 42, who said he and many others had been inspired by historic events elsewhere in 1989, particularly the fall of the Berlin Wall and the Soviet military withdrawal from Afghanistan. 'The events in Germany and the Russian defeat gave us confidence at that time to take on India,' he told AFP. Ahmed spent two months in a training camp in Pakistan-administered Kashmir before returning to the Indian-controlled section of the divided region to join insurgent operations. He was captured and jailed for five years and now believes that armed struggle was never the solution. 'I don't think insurgency will force a mighty power like India out of Kashmir,' said the father of two. By the mid-1990s, Kashmiri separatist ranks had swelled with foreign 'jihadi' fighters of Arab, Afghan and Pakistani origin, many of whom had fought Afghanistan's Soviet occupation. India has long accused Pakistan of sheltering, training and arming Kashmiri militant groups. Islamabad denies the charge, although it openly extends 'moral support' to the Kashmiri right to self-determination. The nuclear-armed South Asian rivals have fought two wars over Kashmir, which is divided by a UN-monitored Line of Control. Among the most active Kashmiri militant groups is the Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba, blamed by India for the deadly 2008 Mumbai attacks. It was also accused of involvement in an audacious 2001 attack on the parliament in New Delhi, which brought India and Pakistan to the brink of another all-out war. The Kashmir insurgency initially began as an independence movement spearheaded by the Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF). Later, the militant wing was taken over by groups favouring the region's accession to Pakistan. India's response to the growing violence was to pour hundreds of thousands of military and paramilitary troops into the Kashmir valley, a move that alienated many in the majority Muslim community. Human rights groups in Kashmir, as well as monitors like the New York-based Human Rights Watch, have accused the security forces of widespread rights abuses. India says it probes all such claims. Few families have been left untouched by the violence and the dominant mood among many ordinary Kashmiris is one of conflict fatigue. 'We just want peace,' said Haleema Akhter, 62, a retired teacher. 'Violence has brought us nothing but destruction,' Akhter said. 'During the initial years of the militancy, it seemed the goal (of independence) was near but 20 years later it is still nowhere in sight.' Javed Mir, once one of the most wanted JKLF commanders and now a leading separatist politician, rejects the argument that armed struggle has been a total failure. 'It was launched with an aim of highlighting the Kashmir issue internationally. And it has succeeded in doing that,' Mir told AFP. The number of militant attacks dropped sharply after India and Pakistan initiated a peace process in 2004, but senior separatist politicians like Yasin Malik warn of a return to violence if a political solution is not forthcoming. 'Our youth are feeling frustrated. Further delay will push them towards another bloody revolution,' Malik said. The warning is echoed by Tahir Mohiudin, editor of the local Urdu weekly 'Chattan,' who believes the Indian government is fooling itself if it believes the separatist movement will just peter out. 'If the issue keeps lingering on, one can't rule out a return to the peak days of insurgency,' he said. The federal government has said it is willing to open a dialogue with any Kashmiri group that has renounced violence, including those seeking an end to Indian rule. In the meantime, separatist protests, police clashes, tear gas and house searches remain features of life for residents of Indian Kashmir's summer capital Srinagar.

Attempts to remove Cheney from conference continue
CASPER — Far-right House members continue to push to oust Rep. Liz Cheney from the Republican Conference following her appointment Thursday as vice chairwoman of the Jan. 6 Select Committee.
Cheney has faced sustained backlash for her vote to impeach former President Donald Trump and speak out against his attempts to undermine the 2020 presidential election.
The most recent pressure on Cheney came in the form of a letter to House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy from Arizona Rep. Andy Biggs, the chairman of the House Freedom Caucus. The letter requested that McCarthy remove Cheney and Illinois Rep. Adam Kinzinger — the only two Republicans currently on the Jan. 6 committee — from the Republican Conference.
“Congresswoman Cheney and Congressman Kinzinger are two spies for the Democrats that we currently invite to the meetings, despite our inability to trust them,” the letter, which was obtained by the The Associated Press, read.
Part of the reason Republicans are taking issue with Cheney and Kinzinger serving on the committee is their appointment to the panel by Speaker Nancy Pelosi, a frequent target of many Republican lawmakers and voters. Both have also been unflinching in their criticism of Trump and have sought a full accounting of the events that led to the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol by supporters of the former president.
McCarthy offered Rep. Jim Banks and Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan to serve as Select Committee members, but Pelosi rejected these nominations, leaving Kinzinger and Cheney as the only two Republicans on the committee among seven Democrats, even though the committee was originally intended to be bipartisan.
So far, the letter has only accumulated 16 signatures from lawmakers who are considered close supporters of Trump and who have perpetuated the former president’s unfounded allegations of voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election. Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz, Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, Colorado Rep. Lauren Boebert and North Carolina Rep. Madison Cawthorn were all signatories, in addition to a number of other House Freedom Caucus members.
Even among the far right in the House, however, there appears to be division over Cheney’s and Kinzinger’s seats on the committee. The House Freedom caucus has over 40 members, but the letter received less than half of their signatures.
Cheney has not yet spoken to McCarthy about the letter, according to a spokesperson from Cheney’s office.
When Cheney and Kinzinger were first named to the committee, there was an initial push to oust the two, but McCarthy did not act.
Back on the ground in Wyoming, at least six county Republican Parties have passed resolutions to rescind recognition of Cheney as a U.S. Representative, a move that is symbolic.
Publicly at least, Cheney has shown no signs of backing down.
“We owe it to the American people to investigate everything that led up to, and transpired on, January 6th,” she said in a statement. “We will not be deterred by threats or attempted obstruction and we will not rest until our task is complete.”

We all know that Quentin Tarantino is considered one of the most influential directors of the 21st century. In ‘Once upon a time in Hollywood’, his last film, he mastered the art of theatric projection into a motion picture, a thing that is hard to be reproduced. Nate Ki took a shot in doing so and made the most out of an idea that seemed unappealing at first.
In ‘Once upon a time…in Sai Wan’, life has a different speed – everything develops and builds up in a fast forward motion. The narrative relies on a deception that, as expected, takes some turns until the whole story paints a picture of Tarantinoesque fashion. The narrative happens in 1989 when there were some rumors that money would become joss paper after a delivery guy returned from delivery at a building that was prone to be dissembled. Everyone was horrified about this, and they firmly believed that it was because of unnatural spirits.
The characters are very well crafted, being in a total opposition with each other, a thing that in the end makes them way more appealing. All of the characters are at the same time interesting and generic, just like some peculiar saints that were not allowed into heaven, and have to complete some chores before being allowed to enter. While the narrative has some ups and downs in terms of pace, it is precisely how one would want it to be in a film of this kind. The perfect comparison for the craziness ‘Once upon a time…in Sai Wan’ delivers is with Ibrahim Maalouf’s song called ‘Beirut’ – from the beginning you get the overall reference of the song, and as the time goes by, everything builds up until the last part comes to give the whole composition a new and unexpected ending. ‘Once upon a time…’ shines bright when it comes to editing and cinematography, making the entire project be one of grand perspective.

| CTE State Policy: Mid-Year Review »
There has been a flurry of activity on Perkins reauthorization since the overwhelmingly positive House vote last week. Most of this activity has taken place in the Senate, where leaders of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee had originally scheduled a mark up of their Perkins reauthorization bill for Wednesday, September 21.
However, as final work on the bill continued in advance of the markup, negotiations stalled and the markup was postponed. The main issue of disagreement that has been publically cited is the issue of “secretarial authority” and prohibitions that could be placed on the Secretary related to program oversight.
Committee leaders continue to discuss a path forward for Perkins, with a possibility for action in the lame duck session after the election. Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-TN) issued a statement that included that possibility: "Congress should be able to finish its work on Perkins this year," he said. Sen. Murray (D-WA) also expressed continued desire to complete Perkins: “Senator Murray has been working with Democrats and Republicans toward a bipartisan bill to reauthorize Perkins CTE, and she is hopeful that this can continue and get done as quickly as possible," said Murray spokesman Eli Zupnick in a statement published in Politico.
ACTE and Advance CTE issued our own statement urging Congress to continue moving forward in a bipartisan manner, and we will continue working with staff on the Hill on the underlying issues in the bill.

Once you’ve cleaned your oven’s removable parts and control panel, you can use the pyrolytic function. During the process your oven door will automatically lock itself for safety purposes, as the oven will heat up to 480°C. You won’t be able to open the door until the cleaning cycle has finished. Once the cycle has finished and you have let the oven cool down, the last stage is to remove the dirt with a water and vinegar solution. Ensure you are wearing protective clothing and gloves just in case the oven is still warm. Due to the different types of ovens we manufacture, please refer to your manual for guidance on how to start the pyrolytic cleaning programme.

This knowledge is provided to you for free, and with the hopes that it will help your organization or company run a better business meeting.
Parliamentary law is an accepted set of rules by which deliberative assemblies meet to discuss and determine common action. The rules protect the rights of the individual, the minority, the majority, the absentee, and the organization, and should be observed in every meeting of the organization. Every member, therefore, should understand at least the fundamentals of correct procedure and consider it his/her duty to use them in taking part in the business meetings of the organization.
Every president, as a presiding officer, should be familiar with the basic rules of parliamentary procedure. Organization membership represents wide differences of opinion and response. For a group to discuss important issues and to come to a decision, the difference must be aired. It is the leader’s responsibility to be sure that disagreements are brought out in an atmosphere of respect for the rights of every member.
Parliamentary law is designed to maintain order, to ensure justice and equality, to expedite business, and to enable an organization to accomplish its objectives. The principles upon which it is founded are courtesy and justice to all; orderly consideration of one subject at a time; the rule of the majority, the rights of the minority, and partiality to none. It is democracy in action.
“The application of parliamentary law is the best method yet devised to enable assemblies of any size, with due regard for every member’s opinion, to arrive at the general will on a maximum number of questions of varying complexity in a minimum time and under all kinds of internal climate raging from total harmony to hardened or impassioned division of opinion.”— (Robert’s Rules of Order Newly Revised, page xiii.)
BASIC PARLIAMENTARY TERMS AND PRACTICES
Accept, Adopt, Approve. Applied to report and motions agreed upon—not to be confused with “received.”
Adjourn. To bring the meeting to close.
Agenda. The order of business to be brought up at a meeting.
Assembly. A group, society, club, sometimes called “the house.”
Business. Motion, resolution, subject, the proceedings; the agenda.
Bylaws. Code of rules or regulations accepted by a society for its own guidance.
The Chair. The presiding officer.
Authority is vested in the office (the chair,) not in the person. The person in the chair serves as a means through which the assembly expresses its will. Because he/she acts for the assembly, not for himself/herself, he/she must be impartial. He/she refers to himself/herself as “the chair,” avoiding the use of the pronoun “I.”
Clerk. Same as secretary.
Commit. To refer to a committee.
Constitution. Same as bylaws; sometimes combined, or in two parts. The constitution contains the more basic essentials; the other, procedures.
Debate. To discuss the pros and cons of a motion.
Division of Assembly or the House. Calling for a recount of the vote.
Executive Secretary. A salaried executive, as a general manager under the board and executive committee.
Ex officio. By virtue or because of office.
When it is provided by the bylaws, certain offices automatically confer membership on certain boards and committees. Persons who are committee members because of an office they hold are therefore called ex officio members.
An organization president is not ex officio member of any committee except by special rule of the organization. It is advisable to place in the bylaws a section as follows: “The president shall be ex officio a member of all committees except the nominating committee.” Such a rule enables the president to attend committee meetings when he/she so desires. He/she then has all the privileges of other members of the committee—to offer motions, to speak on motions, and to vote. The vice-president may not take the president’s place as an ex-officio member, unless otherwise provided in the bylaws.
Fiscal Year. The financial year of an organization.
Floor, Obtaining the. Securing the right to speak in a meeting.
Basic to participation in a meeting is knowing how to obtain the floor. The member should rise and address the chair by the official title—“Mr. (or Madam) President”—and then wait until the chair assigns him/her the floor by calling his/her name or nodding to him/her.
Floor, On the. A motion is on the floor when it is being considered by the assembly.
General Consent. Unanimous, silent, used in routine matters, if there is no objection, avoiding a formal vote. Informal agreement of the assembly.
To obtain general consent, the chair should ask if there is any objection to a certain procedure. Silence gives consent. If someone says, “I object,” the question must be put to a vote.
Germane. Closely related; of the same subject matter.
An amendment, for example, must be germane to the motion to which it is applied.
Good of the Order, Good and Welfare. After the business, if there is time, general discussions, constructive criticism, informal suggestions.
House. Same as assembly, meeting, etc.
Majority. More than half the votes cast. One half plus one.
Minutes. The official record of all business transacted in a meeting.
Motion. A formal proposal that the assembly take certain action or express certain views.
The form is, “I move that…”
Seconding a Motion. A second merely implies that the seconder agrees that the motion should come before the meeting and not that he/she necessarily favors the motion.
Some motions do not require a second. For a list of such motions, refer to Table of Motions.
Amending a Motion. Modifying, or changing, a motion.
This may be done before the motion is adopted or rejected.
Main or Principal Motion. Is a motion whose introduction brings business before the assembly. It can be made only when no other motion is pending and it ranks lowest in the order of precedence of motions.
Privilege Motions. Have nothing to do with the pending question or motion, but are of such urgency and importance that they are allowed to interrupt the consideration of other questions, and take precedence over them. They are undebatable because of their high rank.
Incidental Motions. Are those which arise out of a pending question and must be decided before any other business of the assembly that must be attended to and which requires a temporary interruption. They have no special rank among themselves, but they yield to privileged questions. They are dealth with individually as the arise, but they take precedence over the subsidiary motions. Most of them are undebatable.
Subsidiary Motions. Are the most frequently used motions in parliamentary procedure. They are made while a main motion is pending, for the purpose of assisting or modifying it or to delay action or otherwise dispose of the main motion. It supersedes the main motion for the time being and must be dealt with before action can be taken on the main motion. However, all subsidiary motions must yield to privileged and incidental motions.
Miscellaneous and Unclassified Motions. There are few main motions, not classified, which are very much in use in an effort to take up a question again, or to change or undo an action that has been taken.
Notice of Motion. Advance notice of certain motions is sometimes required by a constitution or by-laws. In such cases, members must be advised in writing, a prescribed number of days in advance, of motions which are to be introduced. Generally, this applies in constitution or expenditure of large sums of money. Care should be taken to see that the notice is so phrased that, insofar as possible, the motion may be amended and given final form by the meeting.
Withdrawal of Motions. When a questions is before the assembly and the mover wishes to withdraw or modify it, or substitute a different one in its place, if now one objects, the presiding officer grants the permission; if any objection is made, it will be necessary to obtain leave to withdraw, etc., on a motion for that purpose. This motion cannot be debated or amended. When the motion is withdrawn, the effect is the same as if it had never been made.
Rejected Motion. A rejected motion should not come up again during the same session unless at least two-thrids of the members present approve of a motion. Only the members can reconsider the prevailing motion or the winning side. This motion is not debatable and calls for immediate vote.
Order of Business. Same as agenda—the schedule of business to be considered.
Orders of the Day. Program or order of business adopted that should be followed.
Parliamentarian. One skilled in parliamentary procedure; advises the presiding officer concerning questions of parliamentary procedure.
Pro Tem. For the time being, temporary.
Point of Order. The point of order and the question of privilege are one of the legitimate means of interrupting another member while speaking. (Except that, with the consent of the speaker, questions may be asked.) If a member feels that improper language has been used, irrelevant argument introduced, or a rule of procedure broken, he/she is entitled to “rise to a point of order” interrupting the speaker. The point of order must be stated definitely and concisely. The chairman may ask opinions. The chairman should not argue and should state his opinion authoritatively. His ruling may be appealed by the member. If so, the chairman states his/her decision and the point of appeal, then puts the question which is not debatable: “shall the decision of the Chair stand as the judgment of this meeting?” A simple majority determines the issue. This merely settles a point of procedure and is NOT a vote of confidence in the Chairman.
Postpone indefinitely. A motion to suppress, eliminate or “kill” the main motion.
Preamble. An introduction or a preface to a resolution.
Precedence. Priority in rank.
Prevailing Side. The side having secured the most votes.
Question, The. The business before the house—that is, the motion as stated by the chair.
Question, The pending. The question before the house. A question is said to be pending from the time it is stated by the chair until it is disposed of, either temporarily or permanently.
Question, Last (immediately) pending. The last question stated by the chair when several questions are pending.
Question, Stating the. Placing the question before the assembly. This is the responsibility of the chair. Chair states the motion by saying “It is moved and seconded that…” and Chair repeats the motion.
Question, Are you ready for the. Are you ready to vote? When the chair asks, “Are you ready for the question?” anyone wishing to discuss the question further is privileged to do so. He/she should rise and address the chair to obtain the floor. Silence indicates that the assembly is ready to vote.
Qustion, Putting the. Taking the vote on the question before the house.
Questions of Privilege. If a member feels that his/her own or the organization’s reputation or position is endangered or that will affect the member’s participating actively in the meeting he/she is entitled to raise a “question of privilege.” Procedure is the same as for a point of order.
Quorum. A quorum is the minimum number of members who must be present at a meeting to make proceedings valid. This is generally fixed at a small number, just sufficient to ensure the ability to carry on business. Without a quorum no business may be transacted.
In the absence of special rule, the quorum is a majority of the entire membership.
Recess. A motion used to halt the proceedings temporarily.
Resolution. A form of main motion usually of such length as to be written.
A resolution may have a preamble setting forth the reasons for its adaptation.
Revision of the bylaws. A complete set of bylaws submitted as a substitute for the existing bylaws.
Unless a complete set of bylaws is presented, the proposed changes should not be referred to as a revision but amendments.
Seriatim Consideration. Considering of a motion, line by line and paragraph by paragraph.
Sine Die. Without a day, indefinitely, final adjornment.
To Table. To table a motion or “To lay on the Table” is an American rule used extensively in Canada and in the Philippines. This motion is not debatable and requires only a simple majority. If the motion is to table only until a particular time, it is debatable as to time only. If carried, the motion in question comes up automatically as the appointed time, or, if indefinitely as to time, it remains tabled until such time as another motion (not debatable) is being introduced. A simple majority only is required in the case.
Take from Table. A motion used to restore a question for consideration again.
Ticket. A state of candidates for office.
Unfinished business. Business carried over from the preceding meeting.
Vote. A formal expression of the will, opinion, or preference of the members of an assembly in regard to a question that has been introduced for consideration.
A majority vote is more than half the votes cast. A two-thirds vote is two thirds of the votes cast. A plurality is the largest number of votes cast for any one candidate for an office. A tie vote is an equal number of votes in the affirmative and the negative.
A motion receiving a tie vote is lost unless the chair casts the deciding vote, which is not advisable. In the event of a tie vote in an election, the assembly should continue to ballot until someone receives a majority vote.
Yield. Concede to, outranked by, give way to.
By voice (viva voce.)
The correct form for the chair to use is: “Those in favor will say Yes. Those opposed will say No.”
By show of hands.
This method is often used in small assemblies. The chair says, “Those in favor of the motion will raise the right hand. Down. Those opposed will raise the right hand. Down.”
The chair takes the vote by asking those in favor of the motion to rise; after they are seated, those opposed are asked to rise.
Secret vote, usually on slips of paper.
ORDER OF PRECEDENCE
Certain motions have priority over other motions when presented for consideration by an assembly. They have an order of precedence. The chart lists motions in the order of their rank.
PROCEDURE OF MOTIONS
There are nine steps necessary to complete action on a main motion:
1. Obtaining the floor.
MEMBER: Rises and addresses the chair, “Mr. (or Madam) President,” and awaits recognition by the chair.
2. Assigning the floor.
CHAIR: Recognizes the member and assigns him/her the floor by speaking his/her name or bowing to him/her.
3. Making the motion.
MEMBER: Introduces the motion thus: “I move that the formation committee plan a series of workshops to explore the subject of how Christian formations are conducted in the religious organizations.”
4. Seconding the motion.
ANOTHER MEMBER: Seconds the motion, “I second the motion.”
5. Stating the motion.
CHAIR: States the motion, “It is moved and seconded that the formation committee…”
6. Opening the question for discussion (debate.) Refer to “Debate or Discussion of the Question.”
7. AMENDMENTS to the motion.
8. Putting the question:
CHAIR: Puts the question—that is, takes the vote. When debate has ended, he/she says, “the question is on the motion that the formation committee plan a series of workshops. Those in favor will say Yes or raise of hands.” (Pause for the vote.) “Those opposed will say No or raise of hands.”
9. Announcing the vote.
CHAIR: States the result of the vote: “The Yes have it; the motion is carried.” Or, “The Noes have it; the motion is lost.”
DEBATE OR DISCUSSION OF THE QUESTION
The mover of the motion is entitled to the floor first. Under the established rules of debate, each member has the right to speak twice on the same question on the same day (except on an appeal,) but cannot speak a second time as long as any member who has not yet spoken on the question desires the floor. No one may speak longer than 10 minutes without permission of the assembly. This rule ensures discussion by all members, rather than a speech by one person. Members must obtain the floor, address their remarks to the chair, and be courteous and impersonal at all times.
One who wishes to stop debate should not all “Question,” but should obtain the floor and say, “I move the previous question.” The name of this motion is misleading, but it means that members wishes to stop debate and have the vote taken. A two-thirds vote is required for its adoption because it interferes with the right of members by closing debate. Full debate before action on a debatable motion is a parliamentary right of every member.
USE OF THE PROPER MOTION
There is a motion designed to meet virtually every situation that arises in a deliberative assembly. The first thing to know about every motion is the purpose it is designed to achieve. Having learned this, one will have no difficulty in knowing what motion to use to obtain the desired result.
|Purpose||Proper Motion to Use|
|To introduce a subject to the assembly.||Main motion.|
|To kill (or reject) the main motion.||Postpone indefinitely or lay on the table.|
|To modify, or change, the motion.||Amend.|
|To have the question investigated before voting upon it.||Commit or refer.|
|To defer action in order to gain information or to protect absent member.||Postpone until a definite time.|
|To regulate the privileges of debate.||Extend or limit debate. (two-thirds vote.)|
|To stop debate and force the vote on the pending question.||Pervious question or to limit debate.|
|To lay aside temporarily the pending question to attend to an urgent matter that has arisen.||Table.|
|To keep the association to the adopted order of business.||Orders of the day.|
|To obtain action at once in an emergency matter.||Question of privilege or point of order.|
|To provide for an intermission not arranged for in the program or order of business.||Recess.|
|To close the meeting.||Adjourn.|
|To arrange a time and place for a continuation of the present meeting before the next regular meeting.||Fix the time to which to adjourn.|
|To reverse the decision of the chair.||Appeal.|
|To allow the association to deviate from the standard procedures (not the bylaws.)||Suspend the rules. (Two-thirds vote.)|
|To enforce the rules.||Point of order.|
|To obtain information or make a request of any kind.||Point of information.|
|To prevent a vote and to keep a motion off the records.||Withdraw a motion.|
|To determine the correctness of a vote as announced by the chair.||Recount of votes.|
|To prevent additional nominations.||Close nominations. (Two-thirds vote.)|
|To allow additional nominations.||Reopen nominations. (This motion must be made before voting takes place. Majority vote.)|
|To establish a time when voting shall cease.||Close the polls. (two-thirds vote.)|
|To allow additional members to vote.||Reopen the polls. (This motion must be made before tellers begin to count the ballots. Majority vote.)|
|To bring before the house a question that has been tabled.||Take from the table.|
PROCEDURE OF AMENDMENTS
After the question has been stated by the chair and before the vote is taken, it may be desirable to change the motion in some way. This is done by amending the motion. A motion may be amended in any of the following ways.
– By striking out one or more consecutive words.
– By inserting one or more consecutive words.
– By striking out and inserting in the same place a word or combination of words.
– By adding (to the end of the motion) a word or consecutive words.
– By submitting a new motion for pending question.
There are two kinds of amendments, primary and secondary. A primary amendment amends the main motion and must be germane to it. A secondary amendment amends the primary amendment and must be germane to it. A motion may have not more than two amendments, one primary and one secondary, pending at one time. After they are voted upon, additional amendments may be offered. In taking the vote, the secondary amendment is voted upon first; the amendment as amended is voted upon next; and finally the main motion as amended is voted upon.
ORDER OF BUSINESS (STANDARD AGENDA FOR REGULAR MEETINGS)
The regular meeting ordinarily cover business in the following order:
– Call to order. The presiding officer (known as the chair) calls the meeting to order (Rises and raps the gavel once.)
– Determining a Quorum.
– Approval of minutes. The minutes of the previous meeting are printed and distributed or are read by the secretary. The presiding officer declares the minutes “approved as read/printed” or, if any corrections have been made, “approved as corrected.”
– Report of the treasurer. The report is read by the treasurer or printed and distributed prior to calling the meeting to order. The report should not be adopted or approved; but after questions are answered regarding any item as reported, the report is placed on file for audit.
– Reports. Only those officers or chairmen who have reports to make should be recognized, but the president should be aware before the meeting of reports to be made.
a) The report of the executive committee/board (not the minutes) is submitted at each regular meeting of the organization to keep the members adequately informed. Members should feel free to call for discussion of any of the items presented. No action on the report of the executive committee/board is necessary unless the report includes statements to be endorsed or recommendations to be adopted. Recommendations should be in the form of resolutions or motions.
b) The reports of the standing committees are made at each regular meeting of the executive committee/board or general membership meetings. If the executive committee/board decides such reports are necessary for the information of the members and for the progress if the committee work, they are read at the meeting (or mimeographed copies are distributed before the meeting.)
c) The reports of the special committees are made according to procedures established by the association.
d) When a committee report has been made, the next business in order is the disposal of the report, the proper disposition depending on its nature.
1) If a committee report contains only statements of fact or opinion for the information of the group, the reporting member makes no motion for its disposal.
2) If action is desirable, a motion for its adoption is in order. The person making the report moves the adoption. This motion does not require a second since it comes from a committee. If the motion is carried, the association thereby assumes responsibility for it.
3) If the report is from the nominating committee, no motion is made to accept it, as committee nominations are treated as if they were made by members from the floor.
– Unfinished business (it is incorrect to call it old business.) Any business postponed from the previous meeting, or any matter introduced at the meeting on which the action of the association was not completed, is brought before the meeting. A list of such unfinished maters should be prepared for the presiding officer by the secretary from the minutes of the previous meeting. The chair does not ask for “unfinished business.” Only when the unfinished business has been disposed of may new business be brought forward, unless the regular order of business has been modified by vote of the members present.
– New business or Other Matters. New business includes the considerations and disposal of communications and motions calling for action by the association.
– Announcements. The dates of the next meeting and of any important activities may be announced.
– Adjournment. The president may adjourn the meeting by general consent, saying: “Is there any further business to come before the meeting?” He/she pauses and, if no one rises to claim the floor, says: “the meeting is adjourned.”

- Don’t leave the meeting, unless necessary, until the president declares the meeting adjourned. You may be needed for the quorum, or something very important may come up at the last moment.
DUTIES OF THE SECRETARY:
The Secretary is the recording officer of the assembly and the custodian of its records, except those specifically assigned to others, such as the treasurer’s books. The recording office is sometimes called the clerk, the recording secretary (when there is also a corresponding secretary or financial secretary) the recorder, or the scribe.

The minutes should be as brief as possible and should be reported in the order in which the business is presented at the meeting. The action taken by the organization, not what is said by the members, should be recorded. The minutes should be entered in an official minute book which is bound and has numbered pages.

3 Ways OTR Truck Drivers Can Boost Their Mental Health
Read moreWhile 1 in 5 U.S. adults experience mental illness annually, a recent study by Deloitte revealed that less than half receive treatment. A study from the Mental Health in the Workplace Summit also found that mental illness is the leading cause of disability for U.S. adults aged 15 to 44 and that more workdays are lost to mental health-related absenteeism than any other injury or illness. Being an OTR Truck Driver increases your chance of behavioral health implications due to the solo-traveling nature of the career. That’s why Cooper Freight has many programs and resources in place to help their OTR Drivers keep a positive mindset both on the road and at home.

While it was disappointing for Liverpool to lose their first game back after the World Cup, there are few lessons to be drawn from a narrow defeat to Manchester City in the League Cup, and the main focus was always on the first game back in the league this month.
On that front, Aston Villa poses the real challenge for Jürgen Klopp—and it’s a challenge in part because they have a new manager who’s had the World Cup break to work on his side. Klopp, though, thinks he can have some idea what to expect from Unai Emery.
“I think what you can expect is that Unai stands for a specific kind of football and he was really successful and did an incredible job at Villarreal,” Klopp noted. “What you saw in the first few games they played, it looks quite similar because it is a good way to play.
“It’s his way and it’s how he wants to organise a team. So, yes of course we don’t know exactly what to expect, like you never know exactly what to expect, but at least we have an idea how they will try to cause us problems. So, that’s what now we will prepare for.”
Emery has also had spells at Arsenal and Sevilla, making the manager’s approach to the game a fairly known one—and one that has met a lot of success with historically mid-table sides trying to challenge for the European places and then to challenge in Europe.
It’s not just the one game Klopp and Liverpool have been preparing for, though—it’s the restart generally. And on that front, Klopp says he’s liked what he’s seen from his players over the past few weeks and has high hopes that the season can be got back on track.
“All the players who are back from the World Cup now and look really on it so we are really looking forward to what is coming up but we know it is intense,” the Liverpool manager added ahead of the match. “There are never guarantees out there but that’s how it is.”
“We obviously left a gap between us and the much more exciting spots in the table, but we consider ourselves in the moment within punching distance and that means we have to chase and that’s what we will do. We are really looking forward to what is coming up.”
