Iran’s WMD hype; Iraq redux?
Be it through murders, Kidnapping, Virus attacks or sanctions, a careful and well coordinated stealth Programme is on to Jeopardise years of nuclear capability building by Iran. Is the US, along with its allies, drawing itself into another long drawn misdirected war? Is the hype being built about Iran’s supposed nuke ambitions even real?
The importance of nuclear scientists can hardly be undermined by a country harbouring nuclear ambitions. Iran is one of those nations that acquire centre stage. The country has not only built several nuclear reactors but has also, since the last few decades, set up a number of nuclear research centres and universities. The government also encouraged its youth to take up courses in science & technology and consequently created a huge array of nuclear physicists and scientists. Of course, sanctions from the US also came in tow. But if recent revelations are looked at, a slew of covert attempts are being made to jeopardise Iran’s nuclear programme.
The recent murder of Darioush Rezaeinejad, on July 23, 2011 in Tehran has raised concerns about the security of nuclear scientists and physicists in Iran and how it also affects the country’s nuclear ambitions. If one goes by reports, many such incidents have taken place in the past as well. In January 2007, Iranian nuclear scientist Ardeshir Hosseinpour was found dead under mysterious circumstances. A private American intelligence firm Stratfor claimed that Mossad was behind the ‘radioactive poisoning’ execution. In another incident, Massoud Ali-Mohammadi, quantum physicist working as a professor at Tehran University, was killed in Tehran in January 2010. Similarly, Majid Shahriyari, working at Iran’s Atomic Energy Commission, a prominent figure in Iran’s nuclear program and a specialist in neutron transport, was murdered (in a car bomb attack) on November 2010. On the same day, another scientist Fereydoon Abbasi (currently head of Iran’s Atomic Energy Organisation), escaped death by a whisker. Besides the above, a number of important physicists have also been kidnapped in the last three years. In one example, in June 2009, Shahram Amiri – an Iranian nuclear expert of radioactive isotopes at Malek-Ashtar University of Technology (MUT) and also working with Iran’s Atomic Energy Organisation – was kidnapped from Saudi Arabia and was reportedly extradited to US; the scientist strangely resurfaced in July 2010.
Concurrently, there have been a series of attacks on the computers in Iran’s nuclear facilities, including one major hit by a malware named Stuxnet (supposedly developed by Israel with the help of America’s intelligence). Stuxnet destroyed almost 20% of Iran’s centrifuge systems in their nuclear facility. Early 2011 saw another such attack, which has apparently pushed back Iran’s nuclear progress by two years. A WikiLeaks cable commenting on Stuxnet revealed that US was “advised to perform ‘covert sabotage’ of Iran’s nuclear facilities, including computer hacking” by an influential German think tank. In fact, it is alleged that George Bush approved $300 million for this joint covert project before leaving office in 2009. Condoleezza Rice, Volker Perthes (Director of the Institute for Security & International Affairs & an expert on Iran) and Philip Murphy (US ambassador to Germany) were all involved in this project, as revealed by WikiLeaks.
UN (on December 23, 2006) banned the supply of nuclear-related materials and technology and froze the assets of key individuals and companies related to Iran’s nuclear program. On March 24, 2007, UN imposed an arms embargo and expanded the freeze on Iranian assets, which on March 3, 2008, was further extended to the activities of Iranian banks, aircraft and movement of individuals through their territory. The recent sanctions passed by EU (June 17, 2011) on Iran involve the prohibition of investments by EU countries in oil and gas projects, as well as the transfer of technology and equipment. The Obama administration has further imposed new sanctions (June 24, 2011) against Iran’s largest air carrier accusing it of supporting terrorism and nuclear activities.
Yet, there is no hard evidence that IAEA or the US has been able to present to the global community. There has been a lot of hype, statements and political posturing. But evidence (of Iran attempting to divert nuclear resources for weapons), as in the Iraqi misadventure, none! Pulitzer Prize winner Seymour Hersh wrote in The New Yorker in June 2011 that “the two most recent US National Intelligence Estimates on Iranian nuclear progress have stated that there is no conclusive evidence that Iran has made any effort to build the bomb since 2003.” Similar is the tune of former director general of IAEA and Noble Prize winner Mohamed ElBaradei, who said recently, “I don’t believe Iran is a clear and present danger. All I see is the hype about the threat posed by Iran.” Then why are the US and other agencies still bent on misrepresenting and perhaps even sabotaging Iranian nuclear ambitions?
The US fears that once a country like Iran has acquired nuclear know-how, to consider it to follow the Japanese path in rejecting nuclear weapon ambitions, would be both churlish and childish. The US believes that if not now, Iran will go ahead and arm itself with nuclear weapons in the future. The only way America thinks it would be able to move against future Iranian ambitions is to sabotage Iran’s currently peaceful nuclear energy generation attempts. This, combined with the false media hype about Iran attempting nuclear weaponization, would be enough for the US to force the UN to put a complete stop to Iran’s nuclear energy generation programme. In other words, expect very soon that the UN would move a resolution to this effect. Like we mentioned, Iraq redux!

It took a World Series invitation from a baseball legend to get Kim Kardashian to return to the scene of her engagement.
Kardashian and her famous husband Kanye West were at AT&T Park on Sunday -- the first time Kim had been there since Kanye famously popped the question using the stadium's scoreboard and an orchestra -- to catch a little bit of World Series action at the behest of host for the evening, home run king Barry Lamar Bonds.
Someone was on hand to capture the moment, which we present, unedited:
For Kim, the evening was a "date night" with a decent view of the field. Here's a shot from her Instagram account.
And while the couple's lack of smiles in their shot with Barry did stir some questions as to whether baseball has them bored, maybe they were just caught at a down moment.
Bonds has been a constant presence at AT&T Park, catching the games with other Giants legends including Juan Marichal.
Dare we call him a good-luck Bonds?

The United Kingdom is taking decisive steps towards establishing a resolution framework designed to effectively address the potential failure of major insurance companies.
The UK boasts the world’s fourth-largest insurance sector, making a substantial annual contribution of £29.1 billion to the nation’s economy. While the industry operates under robust oversight by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA), unanticipated financial turmoil can lead to insurer collapses, impacting policyholders and the broader economy.
The current approach involves the PRA overseeing a distressed insurer’s recovery plan, potentially suspending new business activities, and winding down operations. The UK government’s IRR aims to address limitations in current insolvency procedures, offering tools to navigate complex insurer failures, particularly in scenarios involving major firms or specialized coverage providers.
The Bank of England is poised to be the dedicated Resolution Authority, leveraging its expertise in resolution frameworks.This decision comes in the wake of a swift and successful intervention that salvaged Silicon Valley Bank’s UK division in March, a move that underscored the urgency of such a mechanism.
According to the outcome of the government consultation (which ran from January 2023 to April 2023), the proposed regime encompasses UK-authorized insurers, with exclusions for smaller insurers and friendly societies. Resolution objectives prioritize system stability, public confidence, fund protection, policyholder welfare, and adherence to human rights.
The IRR’s deployment will hinge on stringent conditions, evaluated by regulatory authorities in consultation with stakeholders such as the PRA, FCA, and HM Treasury.

Drivers could save as much as 15p a litre on fuel under government plans for 'Pumpwatch regulator'
26 January 2023, 13:14
Drivers could be set to make significant savings on the cost of fuel as government plans to introduce a 'PumpWatch' regulator accelerate.
Under the plans, retailers would face pressure to make sure that what drivers pay accurately reflects wholesale costs.
It is believed the PumpWatch system would be voluntary but Chancellor Jeremy Hunt and Business Secretary Grant Shapps are looking into the prospect of a regulator so that pricing would be made more transparent.
Retailers who fail to lower their prices in relation to wholesale costs could even be named-and-shamed under the plans.
A report on the regulator could come as soon as February, with an announcement possible during the Spring budget.
Those in favour of a regulator believe petrol could be 10p cheaper per litre, while diesel would be around 15p cheaper, the Sun reports.
Fuel prices rose by 11.5 per cent in the year to December 2022, down from 17.2% from November, making it the sixth consecutive month when motor fuel price inflation has fallen.
This is down from a high of 43.7% in July 2022, according to data from the Office for National Statistics.
Rising fuel prices have been caused by a number of factors, including the Ukraine war, after which the import of diesel from Russia was banned.
Mr Hunt received a letter signed by 30 MPs in December, including the former Home Secretary Priti Patel, backing the plans.
They argued that a regulator would reinstall confidence in today's "opaque" system.
Tory MP Jonathan Gullis said: “Over the past 11 years, a Conservative government has frozen fuel duty and brought about two cuts to fuel duty.
“But what is quite clear there have been wholesalers who have not been passing on these savings to motorists."
He continued: “We need to stop this shameless profiteering and introduce PumpWatch.”
Howard Cox, founder of FairFuel, added: “I understand the machinery of Government is looking into how it should work.
"UK’s drivers must also support this initiative to ensure pump pricing becomes honest, fair and transparent.
“Hopefully, the Budget will bring news of its progress because PumpWatch is an essential tool to lessen the cost of living crisis and reduce inflation.”

Amid a pandemic that is hitting communities of color and tribal communities hardest, and following a summer of calls for racial justice in the United States, leaders in UCLA’s American Indian Studies Center have rallied around a singular focus: centering Native voices, Native experiences and Native perspectives within the larger cultural moment the nation is struggling through.
That’s always been the center’s priority, but there is a new urgency and a welcome nuance to the current conversation and action, said Shannon Speed (Chickasaw), director of the center.
“It's really interesting to me that for the first time in my life, the widespread and mainstream calls for change are about addressing structural and systemic inequality,” said Speed, who along with other UCLA staff, faculty and students were instrumental in Los Angeles officially adopting Indigenous Peoples Day in 2018 and also in UCLA adopting the Tongva land acknowledgment that groups and events have been using more broadly over the past year.
As the new school year gets underway, Speed said she’s eager to see how campus departments and programs start to think creatively about what a land acknowledgement means, and how to come up with ways to integrate it into materials and moments in ways that are meaningful to their audiences.
A university is a good place to foster ideas about upending structures of racism, Speed said. A university is microcosm of society at large, and those systems that anyone who dreams of a just society must confront and reimagine exist soundly within it.
Speed, who teaches in the departments of anthropology and gender studies as well as in the American Indian studies program, has centered her scholarship on groups that are most harmed by racism. In particular, she said, the effects of structural and systemic racism are clear in both the history and modern policies of immigration to the United States, policies that affect indigenous people outside our borders.
In her book, “Incarcerated Stories: Indigenous Women Migrants and Violence in the Settler-Capitalist State” (University of North Carolina Press, 2019), Speed tells the personal stories of several indigenous women from Central America and Mexico, women she terms “vulneradas.”
Speed met and interviewed most of them in Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention. They all traveled to the U.S. border to escape both individual threats and structural violence embedded in their home countries’ governments. She tells their stories as a powerful framework to illustrate the flaws of decades of neoliberal policies, U.S. intervention and capitalist practices that make already vulnerable people even more endangered. Her book was researched and written well before the 2016 presidential election and the border policies adopted by the Trump administration.
As she listens keenly to 2020 election rhetoric, she doesn’t quite hold out hope for wide-ranging anti-racist immigration policies. Those didn’t exist in the Obama administration either, she pointed out.
“At this point, what I think we can best hope for is more humane treatment of migrants at the border,” she said.
For Speed and so many others on the front lines of social justice, things aren’t going to improve unless we address the structural inequality of all our systems.
“For years, changing policy and budget wrangling has been the rhetoric,” she said. “And I think the Civil Rights movement is evidence of that. Some change was enacted, but clearly not enough to move us beyond racism and the effects of racism in this country.”
This story is part of a series highlighting UCLA women whose teaching, research and scholarship centers on racial and social justice.

We lived on a small 5 acre ranch in Southern California, about fifty miles East of Los Angeles. We had horses plus a cow, chickens, dogs as well as a cat; so we had the rare little ducklings, needless to say. I would find a small pan about 6 by 10 leading to two inches deep, grow it with water, and surround it which has a short piece of chicken wire that has been about 3 ft . tall. That was required to keep Sam the Terrible from having ducks for lunch. The ducklings needed their privacy and failed to wish to be disturbed.

It’s T-minus one hour to showtime, and the boys huddle around hot cocoa, strategizing.
Keep your eyes to the ground. Spread out, 10 to 20 feet apart. Head up to the high ridges.
“Basically, just zigzag and look in unexpected areas,” Austin Moore, 12, says. “The antlers don’t sit down. It’s very rare for them to fall where the points are down, so usually the points are out.”
“Look for a little white tip sticking above the sagebrush, or something that looks like a tree branch,” his father, Ian Moore adds.
Moore has participated in the annual Boy Scout antler pickup on the National Elk Refuge for about 20 years, first as a Scout and now with his son’s Troop 67. He spends the whole year looking forward to sharing the special experience with Austin.
“We talk about it all year long,” Moore said. “All winter. It’s our highlight for summer, kicking it off.”
Decades ago, when antler poaching became a disturbance to the refuge’s wildlife and habitat, the National Elk Refuge enlisted the help of the Jackson District Boy Scouts to help collect the antlers. A special-use permit was issued to the Scouts in 1966. The Boy Scouts help the refuge prevent the antlers from damaging their equipment, like truck and ATV wheels, spokeswoman Lori Iverson said.
After initial staff inspections, sending the Scouts out to scour the remaining terrain provides the refuge with the equivalent of hiring an additional full-time staff member.
“The day the Scouts come out to help us pick up antlers serves a great community service purpose,” Iverson said.
On Saturday’s unseasonably warm morning refuge staff assigned each troop a location on the north end of the refuge, where most elk spent the winter. Then 159 Scouts dispersed to scour the land for sheds.
Some scouts were in uniform, while others, like 11-year-old Paedon Hare, opted for other outdoor wear. Paedon also came equipped with a shovel in case he needed to dig an antler out of snow, as well as rope to tie antlers around his waist and backpack.
When Hare spotted a few dark points sticking up in the air in the grass, he took off running, despite the other antlers weighing him down. Once he had it, he counted the points: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
“That’s a pretty good one,” Hare assessed. “Might sell for around 30 or more.”
“It has blood on it!” Austin Moore said. “That’s pretty fresh.”
Despite concerns that the antlers would be few and far between due to the mild winter, it was a bountiful year, and truck beds overflowed with antlers. Joey Selleck, 12, said he collected a total of 26 this year with friend Shane Zimmerman, compared with just five last year. Joey’s haul this year even included the crown jewel: an intact, rotting head with both antlers attached.
“It was cool,” he said, “but it was smelly.”
It’s the only place in the country where the Scouts get such an opportunity, and they appreciate it and take the responsibility seriously.
“The memories that have been created here — when you talk to Scouts who have gone and become Eagles and come back — what they want to talk about or one of their most important memories is the day they spent on the Refuge out gathering antler,” said Gary Edington, vice chairman for the Jackson District central committee.
But they don’t take it too seriously. Though the Scouts are on a mission, there’s also time to have silly fun and enjoy being outdoors.
“You must be one with elkness to find their antlers,” Austin said, explaining his methods, holding a pair up to his temples.
The antler pickup is only the start of the Boy Scouts’ partnership with the refuge. The Scouts and Scout leaders contribute around 2,000 hours each year to sorting, bundling and weighing the found sheds. It culminates in the antler auction on Town Square for ElkFest on May 19. Three-quarters of the proceeds from the auction is returned to the Elk Refuge for habitat enhancement projects, while the remaining 25 percent goes to the Jackson District Boy Scouts.
GALLERY: Antler addiction
On April 28, Boy Scouts from Jackson packs and troops spread out across the National Elk Refuge to gather antlers for the upcoming ElkFest auction on May 19. Proceeds from selling bundles of sheds will help fund conservation programs and feeding operations on the refuge.
On May 1, shed hunters from across the country gathered in the middle of the night to collect antlers on the Bridger-Teton National Forest. Wyoming shed laws prohibit the collection of antlers or horns from January 1 to April 30, making May 1 the first official day of the hunt. This year's snow made sheds harder to spot, but some hunters still found success.

After Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief failed to become a massive success, most people thought that would be the last we’d see of Rick Riordan’s boy demigod. While it took Fox a while to decide to make a follow-up, it’s now here.
This time around Percy (Logan Lerman) is living at Camp Half-Blood alongside the other half-human kids with Olympian parents, which is the only place they’re safe, thanks to a protective barrier that prevents the forces that would like to kill them from getting in. However just as Percy learns that his nemesis from the first film, Luke (Jake Abel), isn’t dead, the tree that’s responsible for the maintaining barrier begins to die. The only way to reverse the poisoning is with the mystical Golden Fleece.
Accompanied by his friends Annabeth (Alexandra Daddario) and Grover (Brandon T. Jackson), along with his newly discovered Cyclops half-brother Tyson (Douglas Smith), Percy sets off to try and find the fleece. The journey takes them to meet Luke’s father, Hermes (Nathan Fillion), as well as to the titular Sea Of Monsters. Along the way they also discover that it’s not just the tree they may be able to save, as the fate of the entire world is at stake.
It’s a case of if you liked the first film, you’ll probably like this one. It’s a decent if thoroughly unexceptionable family fantasy adventure, which slightly suffers from being a little random in its jumping from location to location. It’s still fairly fun though.
The first film was seen as being Fox’s attempt to create its own Harry Potter franchise, and that’s even truer here. It feels as if director Thor Freudenthal watched the Potter films and took copious notes. There are numerous shots and sequences that feel like they were copied almost verbatim from the Hogwarts movies, although with a little less magic and wonder. The overall result is a touch journeyman, so it’s fun and there’s plenty of action, but it never reaches any great heights and tends to remind you that the Potter movies were better.
It doesn’t help either that Logan Lerman, who’s proven elsewhere that he’s a very good young actor, comes across as a little flat and bored here. It doesn’t feel as if his heart is in it, with the actor treating it more like a technical exercise – he looks good at least. In the end it’s left to newcomer Douglas Smith as Percy’s Cyclops half-brother Tyson to provide the heart of the movie. He’s sweet and naïve and to be honest I wouldn’t mind seeing a film all about him. However as Sea Of Monsters grossed even less than Lightning Thief, I have a feeling this will be the last we’ll see of the world of the Olympians, let alone us getting a film that spins off to one of the side characters.
The Blu-ray offers a crisp, colourful picture, which shows off the special effects and the bright world the movie takes place in. There are also a few okay special features, including a motion-comic letting us know more of Tyson’s back-story when he was living in the woods. There’s also a trio of decent ‘making of’ featurettes.
Overall Verdict: Although it’s a passable enough slice of family action-adventure, Sea Of Monsters lacks the magic that would take Percy Jackson to the next level. I thought the first film showed promise, but this fails to build on it.

By TERRI LEE FATOUROS
THINK your rock might be lacking gutsy grunge blues, or your passion for it withering? Then atone, my friends, and get yourself down to soul repenting, mystical “shakin & rockin” blues rock with The Electric Church.
With eccentric mastermind Baron Franco on lead vocals/guitar as the charismatic front man of the band, flavoured by bassist, Jesse Ingram and interchanging with their tight new rhythmic drummer, Paul Fiddes, and playing in the style of “New Blues-based Alternative Rock,” you’ll be impressed with the funky, raw, and gritty rocking blues the Electric Church is churning out.
The Electric Church is a tight, hard-core three-piece outfit playing well versed, hard hitting originals laced with cool blues that have been written by Franco and smacks of convincing life experiences, as only good blues can.
Says Franco, “I’ll take you on a trip and journey to a new plain of music and thought, and bring you back with new learning and changed perspective. The lyrics speak to you with a resonating internal dialogue leaving you feeling like “I’ve been there,” “I’ve felt that,” or “I’ve done that too.”
Franco feels their powerful hooking riffs, rising crescendos, plummeting falls and sense-filling rhythms come together really well for their three-piece ensemble. “Blues being the basis of which this new universe is created, maintaining the tradition, but ‘taking it somewhere new’ to explore its parameters.”
Some of the lyrical features of Franco’s writing, like New and Old Love, The Road Travelled and The Shadow Man draws from cultural beliefs, grounding them in modern times.
Songs like Daddy’s Gotta Roll take you back in time to the possibility of a ’70s New York scene of a struggling family dealing with a gambling addicted father.
Combined with the wah-wah of a guitar, the smooth grooving bass line and a rim-shot drum all add to this trip of a ’70s sounding song.
Says Franco, “Elements of hard funk are also part of the Electric Church’s musical offerings, while still maintaining the synergy between blues and rock.”
The Electric Church is based in Melbourne and is poised at the event horizon of their explosion into the colourful landscape of Melbourne’s live music scene.
Their blues, rock and funky sound with original compositions is refreshing and invigorating, injecting innovative groove into their tunes.
The band is gaining awesome notoriety as a hard-hitting, funky blues, no nonsense outfit. With extensive gigging around the burbs, Mornington Peninsula, inner Melbourne and greater Geelong, the intensity of Electric Church will scorch unless adequately protected by a beer in hand.
Recently, their sizzling sounds got the attention of the Kustoms National Hot Rod Show organisers, which is held annually at Phillip Island. The three-day event in January hosted an array of modified and customised vehicles along with exhibits, displays and great bands like The Electric Church to entertain the masses.
The Electric Church is making huge headway presenting a refreshing yet innovative twist on blues/rock, with a trace of funk in original material performed.
A band worth keeping an eye on, that’s for sure.

My parents, my sister and I had a lovely time at Casa Jurinea. The property had everything that we needed for our short stay, including a First Aid kit! We found Juan and Rosa very friendly and helpful. The porch outside is a truly peaceful place to sit and relax and we enjoyed being surrounded by walnut and cherry trees. The house is well equipped and there's a cooler machine for cold drinks. Being at 1200 metres above sea level means that you get a fascinating view of Torres and the hills nearby.

Spacious room with thoughtful decor, for example the pink and grey granite around the washbasin (technically a gneiss) matched the pink and grey tiles. Location was on the GR7 footpath (part of the E4 Long Distance European trail) that I was walking. The hotel is a little outside the village of Torres which I walked into but I am not sure it was worth the climb back up to the hotel!

The hotel is in a stunning location, half-way up a mountain along a newly-surfaced twisty road. We were on a motorcycle and that was the best way to get to it. The room and ensuite were very clean and the shower was great.

Gordon's contrary conclusion omitted a critical piece of documentation that was published in The Ultimate Thompson Book in 2009 (and earlier in Small Arms Review (SAR) magazine. The documentation is referenced on the top of page 290 and is contained in the chapter, Colt Thompsons in Swedish Service.
The two Colt's shipped on March 14, 1940 to the Director of Artillery, Ministry of Supply (MoS), were to be used in the "fabrication of carrying chests (page 3, footnotes 15 and 17)." The reason I know these two Thompsons were Colt's is because the first Savage guns were not completed until April 1940. And yes, 180 of the first 201 Savage Thompson guns were shipped to Great Britain on April 16, 1940.
I am fairly certain he never read the book.
"Present position 600 without compensator available now."
This January 18, 1940 telegram from the United Kingdom High Commissioner in Canada seems to be the sine qua non for negating the reasonable conclusion that the first TSMGs to arrive in the U.K. from the USA were of Colt manufacture. This is not a telegram from Auto-Ordnance Corporation stating that the entire lot of TSMGs consists of a total of 600.
Auto-Ordnance Corporation puts out a brand new catalog in 1940 advertising the immediate availability of Colt MODEL 1928A and Colt MODEL 1928AC. No indication that perspective buyers had better hurry as there are only 600 ( or only 100 depending when this catalog came out in early 1940) still available. Did AOC inform the Swedes that there were only 600 total TSMGs in inventory when they submitted their two orders the first for 500? Why wouldn't they have grabbed another 100 MODEL 1921A knowing that was all there would be until some unknown point in the future?
G.H. certainly read Hill's 2009 TUTB as he includes in his 2014 book a special gratitude to Tracie Hill and Richard Karlson for "concerted effort in Norway, Denmark and Sweden, researching and retrieving lost Colt Thompson history in that part of the world." G.H., like others, no doubt read the "600 without compensators" and did not interpret that to mean there are a total of 600 of any type Colt TSMGs in inventory.
The type of Colt TSMGs required for the "fabrication of carrying chests" (see photo from Imperial War Museum) were with Cutts Compensators and this is why they couldn't borrow any examples from the supply of French Colt MODEL 1921A? But this would mean that AOC had in stock Colt MODEL 1928AC ready to ship out in March for the Brits to take measurements.
Imperial War Museum TSMG chest.JPG 85.08K
G.H. also no doubt read another passage in Hill's TUTB.
"French researcher/author Jean Huon stated that the French order of 3,700 were delivered to France February, 1940.-and that they were mostly 1921A and a few "previously reconfigured MODEL 1928s"
If the 3,700, not the 3,000 were accurate that would set up an additional problem for AOC filling the Swedish order of 500. How many MODEL 1928AC that were previously reconfigured is what is missing from the United Kingdom High Commissioner in Canada telegram.
SAVAGE ARMS MODEL OF 1928 A THOMPSON SUBMACHINE GUN
By Tom Davis, Jr.
"One of the most interesting pictures of 1928 style Thompsons without compensators was found at the British Hulton Archive of pictures. It is titled: Two members of the Home Guard, armed with American Thompson sub-machine or 'Tommy' guns, during training at a rifle range in Western Command. The date of the picture, 1/1/1939, is incorrect as the Local Defence Volunteers or LDV was not established until May 17, 1940 and later renamed the Home Guard on July 22, 1940. The two Thompson guns without compensators are clearly visible."
"...procurement of Savage Model of 1928 A Thompsons (without compensators) by the British government.
The Ministry of Supply, SUPP 4-310 – Contract Record Books at the British National Archives are clearly dated 8.10.40.
There have been no 1928 A models observed that appear to have been manufactured after November 1940."
According to this officially correct document any TSMGs that appear in any newsreel/photo in Britain without a Cutts and with a horizontal foregrip before October, 1940 is unequivocally a Colt 1921/28A. That includes Home Guards armed with these in the Summer of 1940, yes
The Colt 1928A #14733 in the Imperial War Museum is stamped on left of receiver with a British Purchasing Commission acquisitions/British inspection mark broad arrow over crown, over E over 6 (?) over '40. Any thoughts?
What was the total number of Savage TSMGs available to be shipped out Tuesday, April 19, 1940? If the total for the month of April was 201, that would mean there were 100 available end of work week April 15 to be prepared for cosmoline treatment and crating. Even if you pump up that half month total to 150, how would it be possible for Savage to have 180 complete MODEL 1928AC ready at that moment in time and not include Colt TSMGs?
You sort of attempt to answer this question by referring to a letter 7 months removed from April, 1940 delivery.
"One question that has never been answered is what happened to the remaining 100 Colt manufactured Thompson guns in Auto-Ordnance inventory after the Swedish government made the 500 Thompson gun purchase. Why not ship these remaining 100 Colt guns to the British as part of their initial order? A partial answer to this question may be found in a letter from the British Purchasing Commission, the organization responsible for purchasing arms and war supplies from North American manufacturers, to the Ministry of Supply, dated November 6, 1940."
Now jump to this non sequitor:
'149 new guns and 40 reconditioned second hand guns were to be provided to the British government free of charge by Auto-Ordnance as a penalty for not meeting the delivery schedule."
How could these "reconditioned second hand guns" refer to the 100 Colt MODEL 1921/28A left over from the available 600 Colt TSMGs the United Kingdom High Commissioner in Canada claimed were all that was left in AOC inventory? This would mean that the 500 Colt MODEL 1928A purchased by Sweden were second hand as well.

In Morocco, the AgroTechnologies du Souss-Massa (AgroTech SM) association has awarded the construction of a composting plant for organic agricultural waste to Compost Systems, a company specializing in the biological treatment of waste. The unit will be located in the Sous-Massa region and will serve as the pilot phase of a project to set up a regional composting platform.
To valorize organic agricultural waste in the Sous-Massa region of Morocco. This is the objective of the association AgroTechnologies du Souss-Massa (AgroTech SM), which wants to set up a regional composting platform.
At this point, the project is still in its experimental phase. The first composting plant for organic agricultural waste will be built in the region. AgroTech has selected Compost Systems, a company specializing in the biological treatment of waste, to carry out the work. The future facility will be able to produce up to 100,000 tons of fertilizer per year from the waste, which will improve agricultural yields. This is a strategic sector that represents 12% of the gross domestic product (GDP) and employs 15,000 people in Morocco, according to Ahmed Chrimata, the head of the environment department at Sous-Massa.
Conducting a national market study
In addition to developing sustainable agriculture, the Sous-Massa plant will help reduce organic agricultural waste. The region produces 1.87 million tons of such waste annually.
AgroTech, which is supported by the Fondation Crédit Agricole pour le développement durable (FCAMDD), has also launched a call for tenders to conduct a national compost market study for the creation of the Sous-Massa regional composting platform. The company selected will be responsible for mapping the opportunities for composting and recovery of compost nationwide.
The Sous-Massa regional composting platform will be set up by Darore International under a public-private partnership (PPP) signed with AgroTech in 2020.

Lime is made by first burning chalk or limestone to form quick lime (calcium oxide) and then slaking the quicklime with water (forming calcium hydroxide). If no clay is present in the original limestone or chalk, the resulting lime is said to be ‘non-hydraulic’.
How to Make Lime?
Making lime is an age-old process that has been used for centuries to make mortar, plaster, glass, and other materials. It is a simple process that requires few ingredients, and is surprisingly easy to do. The following steps will guide you through the process of making lime.
First, you will need to gather your ingredients. You will need limestone, water, and a heat source such as a fire or oven. Limestone can be purchased at most garden and home improvement stores. The amount of limestone required will depend on the size of the project you are working on.
Secondly, you will need to break down the limestone into smaller pieces. This can be done by either chipping or crushing the limestone with a hammer. Once the limestone is in smaller pieces, it is ready to be heated.
Thirdly, you will need to heat the limestone. This can be done by placing the limestone on a fire or in an oven. The fireplace is the best option for heating the limestone, as it will heat the limestone more evenly. The temperature should be kept at a steady, medium heat for about an hour.
Fourthly, you will need to add water to the heated limestone. This can be done by either pouring water directly

PASO President Vázquez Raña congratulates Peru on early preparations for Lima 2019
Mario Vázquez Raña, President of the Pan American Sports Organization (PASO), has congratulated Peru on its “excellent work” so far as it prepares to host the 2019 Pan and Parapan American Games in the capital Lima.
The Mexican’s comments came after a meeting with Peruvian Olympic Committee (POC) and Lima 2019 officials, where he was presented with a report that outlined the progress already achieved since the city was awarded the Games at the PASO General Assembly in Toronto last October.
José Quiñones, President of the POC, also discussed the development of the master plan for Lima 2019, the forming of the Organising Committee, construction work, the sports programme and the establishment of an anti-doping laboratory.
“We have committed to the Pan American Sports Organization to complete all major works before 2016, even when there are 65 months left for the start of the Games in Peru; however, the athletes’ village is not included to be finished within this period,” Quiñones added.
Vázquez Raña reiterated the full support of the Americas Olympic Movement and said it has confidence in Peru to deliver a great event.
The 2019 Pan American Games are expected to attract more than 6,000 top athletes from 41 countries across the continent.

One hundred years ago a fiery socialist, independent of the Labour Party, was elected to parliament, creating hysteria in the media. He inspired thousands of working people across Britain, yet today many people would not even know his name.
When Victor Grayson was elected to parliament in 1907 he believed it was a victory “for pure revolutionary socialism”. He won against all early expectations and without the backing of the newly formed Labour Party.
Grayson was born in Liverpool on 5 September 1881. He was an apprentice engineer in Bootle, cutting his teeth as a public speaker at a Nonconformist Christian mission.
At this time a period of industrial militancy known as the new unionism was ebbing away, and the ruling elite went on the offensive. This culminated in the Taff Vale decision in 1901 that outlawed picketing and made unions compensate employers for money lost during strikes. Many felt that there was a need for independent working class representation in parliament.
The Labour Representation Committee (LRC) was founded in 1900. It formed an alliance between the trade unions and the Independent Labour Party (ILP), creating a broader party to represent working class people.
Trade unionist MPs had been elected to parliament as members of the Liberal Party, one of the two major ruling class parties, and were known as Lib-Labs.
The LRC would elect MPs who could form a distinct Labour group in the House of Commons.
This initiative aroused little enthusiasm among trade union members, with one ballot over affiliation recording a turnout of only 4 percent. The LRC made little progress – only two candidates were successful in the general election of 1900.
As a result two ILP leaders – Keir Hardie and Ramsay MacDonald – agreed a secret pact with the Liberal Party, whereby Labour and Liberal candidates would not contest the same seats in certain areas. In the 1906 general election 24 out of 29 LRC MPs were returned on this basis.
Although this pact remained secret for over 50 years, it was clear to many that the Labour Party was tailing the Liberal Party. Labour MPs backed the Liberal government in 86 percent of votes between 1906-1908.
The Labour Party was wedded to parliamentary procedure and starved of funds because a law known as the Osborne Judgement had outlawed political levies on trade union members.
The party’s future was by no means certain. It now faced a new challenge as a 25 year old socialist left his training as a Unitarian minister to stand for parliament without its sanction.
Grayson was adopted by the Colne Valley Labour League (CVLL) in West Yorkshire to be its parliamentary candidate, even though the Labour Party refused to endorse him. Members of the CVLL had carried out much preparatory work in the constituency, holding over 125 public meetings in the previous year.
The anti-socialist editor of the Colne Valley Guardian noted, somewhat baffled, that “the higher the wages, the more eager is the straining after the chimerical ideals of socialism”.
The election was fought in the early summer of 1907. Although in his first formal election address Grayson was referred to as the ‘Labour and socialist candidate’, the words Labour and socialist were later reversed.
Grayson said that he wanted “emancipation from the wage-slavery of capitalism”. He was victorious, winning by 3,648 votes.
The mainstream press greeted Grayson’s victory with a mixture of disdain and hysteria. The Colne Valley Guardian lamented that “in the estimation of the country, Colne Valley has grievously fallen and it will take a decade, perhaps a generation, to restore it to its former position”.
The Daily Express ran the headline, “The Menace Of Socialism”. This exaggerated the threat Grayson posed to the ruling elite, but he proved to be a menace to them on more than one occasion.
When Grayson entered parliament the biggest Liberal majority in the party’s history ruled the House of Commons. There were 30 Labour MPs, with half claiming to be socialists. Grayson was asked to join the Labour group but he refused as he did not want to be hamstrung by its decisions.
His maiden speech was not the usual apolitical fair. The government moved a motion to grant £50,000 to Lord Cromer for his services in Egypt. Grayson irreverently stated, “We find ministers… making a grant to an Egyptian official while outside the four walls of this building people are dying of starvation.” This proved to be the first of many controversial speeches that he made.
Grayson traveled the country with his message. He told his audience in Wigan, “I am looking forward to the time when a British soldier will emulate his brother of the National Guard of France and when, asked to fire on the people, who are fighting for their rights, will turn his rifle in the other direction.”
One Saturday night he spoke at Huddersfield town hall. Grayson responded to calls to evict a heckler with characteristic good humour, saying, “Don’t chuck him out. I know what it is to be chucked out.”
He went on to address a packed meeting at St George’s Hall in Bradford, an audience of 2,000 in Keighley and 5,000 at St Pancras in central London. His popularity deeply troubled Labour leaders, who attempted to smear him in order to undermine his support among working people.
When strikes broke out in Belfast in 1907, Grayson took the side of the strikers. He spoke at a meeting in Huddersfield saying, “If the people have no shrapnel, they have broken bottles.”
Grayson was voted Yorkshire’s most popular MP in a poll conducted by a Yorkshire newspaper – he won 27,000 votes against the 22,000 cast for his nearest rival.
On Thursday 2 November 1908, members of the House of Commons were discussing the Licensing Bill. Grayson moved an adjournment so that the house could discuss unemployment.
He refused to stay silent, stating that “the people are starving in the streets; they demand the immediate attention of this house”. He was forced to leave the chamber. As he left he shouted across to the Labour benches, “You are traitors! Traitors to your class.”
The following day he was suspended from the house for making a similar protest, calling the commons “a house of murderers” on his way out.
Grayson lost his seat in the 1910 election. He still polled over 3,000 votes despite division within the Colne Valley Socialist League (successor to the CVLL) and an ill-prepared campaign.
Now outside parliament he became the political editor of the radical Clarion newspaper, and threw his weight behind the drive to form a new socialist party.
In August 1911 he formally resigned from the ILP. This coincided with a period of unprecedented industrial militancy that became known as the Great Unrest.
This period, lasting from 1910 to 1914, saw the first national strikes of miners, dockers and rail workers. Trade union membership doubled and the number of strike days quadrupled.
On the back of this the British Socialist Party was founded in Manchester on 30 September 1911. It could have challenged the Labour Party for influence among working people.
But it was split between syndicalists, who believed in the primacy of strike action, and reformists, who believed in the primacy of parliament. It fractured with the onset of the First World War.
Imperialism proved to be Victor Grayson’s Achilles heel. He defended the British Empire and supported the First World War, even serving in the trenches. However, Grayson also opposed conscription and became bitter at the fact that those who had profited from the war received political honours at the expense of those who had served in the army.
At the end of the war Grayson was isolated – cut adrift from the left and viewed with suspicion by the right. His last political act was to expose the selling of honours by the government, which he declared to be “a national scandal”.
After exposing the honours outrage, he disappeared in mysterious circumstances in 1920 never to be seen again.
Grayson saw parliament as a platform for his ideas, and used his position to bring working class issues to the fore. He was an inspiration to many.
Unfortunately he was held back by a lack of theory – he didn’t see the need for regular industrial work and did not see the importance of independent revolutionary organisation. Lenin described him as “a very fiery socialist but one not strong in principles and given to phrasemongering”.
Despite his sad demise, he deserves to be remembered for so much more. When he was elected to parliament, he said, “I am simply a bullet fired by the Colne Valley workers against the established order.” We could do a lot worse than be bullets too.

11 on Culture
by Geoff Ryan
According to the historian Paul Johnson, the modern world began one hundread years ago with a young civil servant named Albert Einstein when he published a paper entitled On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies (or the Special Theory of Relativity). Einstein's ideas eventually fell victim to what the philosopher Karl Popper termed the "law of unintended consequence." The popular, public response to relativity morphed into the belief that there were no longer any absolutes - of time and space, of good and evil, of knowledge, of value. Commencing in the 1920's, "relativity," as Johnson points out, "became confused with relativism...and helped cut society adrift from its traditional moorings in the faith and morals of Judeo-Christian culture."

With the 2021 season fast approaching and prediction articles about to come in thick and fast, I thought I’d get in ahead of the trend and take a punt on who I believe will be the most astute signings of the upcoming season.
It is universally agreed that Apisai Koroisau was the buy of 2020, transforming the Panthers attack and leading them from outside the eight into the grand final. This was a huge kick in the guts to Manly fans, as he was released due to the emergence of Manase Fainu, whose legal troubles left Manly without a star dummy half. Koroisau took the unofficial gong from the more fancied preseason predictions of Valentine Holmes, Brodie Croft, Jesse Ramian and Latrell Mitchell.
For that reason my list for 2021 avoids many of the more talked-about names over the current offseason and does not mention David Fifita, Addin Fonua-Blake or Joseph Suaalii. The list also includes a development player who will be pushing for an opportunity if injury, suspension and poor form arise.
Tino Fa’asuamaleaui comes to the Titans as an established premiership winner and Origin representative. All the talk has been around David Fifita, and this may work in Tino’s favour as the pressure will mostly fall on the former Broncos star. This will allow him to flourish in the middle and stake his claim as not only a Gold Coast pack leader, but also as one of the most damaging forwards in the NRL.
The Tigers have been busy bolstering their forward pack in 2021 with the introduction of James Tamou, Joe Ofahengaue and Stefano Utoikamau. While Utoikamanu might be the most exciting prospect, what they get with Tamou is an experienced leader, premiership winner and well-established former rep player. He not only brings a winning culture to the club, but can mentor the promising youngsters, which include the previous mentioned recruits, as well as Shawn Blore.
A risky pick, but at full health, there is no doubting that Jack Bird is a superstar. A low risk play for the Dragons, too, as the Broncos are footing a large chunk of the bill. He had the world at his feet in 2017, amassing five Origin games and a premiership before the age of 23. Injuries over his three-year stint at the Broncos has seen him only take the field 17 times.
Bird will be hoping a change is as good as a holiday next year as he returns to his junior club and I don’t think anyone in the NRL community will be upset if we see Bird back to his best in 2021.
While who will play number nine for at least the first half of the season is the main (rugby league) talking point coming out of the Northern Beaches, Manly have quietly strengthened another one of their weaknesses by bringing in Jason Saab and Christain Tuipulotu to add speed and size on the wing.
With Tom Trbojevic out for the majority of last season, Manly fielded the slowest outside backs in the comp by a country mile. They have moved to improve this with the addition of Saab, who clocked a speed of 34.8 kilometres per hour in Round 9 last season. Saab was finally given his long-awaited release from the Dragons where he was unhappy with the long commute. 2021 now gives him the opportunity to live up to the potential that has been spoken about for the last few seasons.
A prediction out of left field, but Metcalf looked to have first grade written all over him when making the team of the tournament at the NRL Nines for Manly last year.
COVID restrictions and the lack of a reserve grade competition ruined his chances to push his claim, but he can still consider himself unlucky not to get a run during Manly’s injury-riddled campaign. This upcoming season should give him the opportunity to shine in the second tier, and if Cronulla face a poor year, as many have predicted, the speedy Metcalf will come into calculations for their troubled fullback spot.

【Abstract】As a combined supporting structure, the anchor cable and lattice beam have a complex interaction with the slope body. In order to investigate the seismic behaviors of the slope reinforced by anchor cable and lattice beam, a large-scale shaking table test was carried out on a slope model (geometric scale of 1:20) by applying recorded and artificial seismic waves with different amplitudes. The acceleration and displacement of the slope, the displacement of lattice beam and the axial force of anchor cable were obtained to study the interaction between the slope and the supporting structure.The test results showthat: (1) the accelerationresponses of the slope at different relative elevations display obvious nonlinear characteristics with increasing of thepeak ground acceleration (PGA) of the inputted seismic waves, and the weak intercalated layer has a stronger effect on acceleration amplification at the upper part of the slopethan that at the lower part of the slope; (2) the frequency component near the second dominant frequency is significantly magnified by the interaction between the slope and the supporting structure;(3) the anchor cables at the upper part of the slope have larger peak and residual axial forces than that at the lower part of the slope, and the prestress loss of the anchor cable first occurs at the top of the slope and then passes down; (4) the peak and residual displacements inside the slope and on the lattice beamincrease with theincrease ofrelative elevation. When the inputted PGA is not greater than 0.5 g, the combined effect of anchor cable and lattice beam is remarkable for stabilizing the middle and lower parts of the potential sliding body. The research results can provide a reference for the seismic design of such slope and the optimization of supporting structure.

North Carolina health officials report nearly 30% of hospitalized COVID-19 patients are in the ICU
COVID-19 cases throughout North Carolina continue to inch up, according to data from the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services.
The state reported four straight days of more than 1,000 new cases, topped by Saturday's 1,163, the highest single-day figure since May 20. 734 cases were reported on Monday, bringing the total since Friday to 2,950.
On Monday, NCDHHS reported 612 people are hospitalized with the virus statewide. That's the highest total since June 3.
Nearly 30% of hospitalized patients are in intensive care.
In a news conference Thursday, NCDHHS Secretary Dr. Many Cohen said 99% of COVID-19-related hospitalizations in North Carolina are from individuals who have not been vaccinated.
As of Monday, 56% of North Carolina adults are fully vaccinated, according to NCDHHS. 59% have received at least one dose.
Cohen also said many cases of the highly contagious delta variant of COVID-19 have been reported throughout North Carolina.

OVERBROOK (WPVI) -- Philadelphia police said the son of an elderly man found murdered inside his Overbrook home is in custody.
Around 3 p.m. Wednesday police were called to the 5700 block of Woodbine Avenue.
Police said they found an 82-year-old man dead inside the residence with lacerations to his face and back of the head.
He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Homicide detectives are questioning the man's son and charges are pending.


If, as stereotypes suggest, offensive linemen are among the most cerebral football players, why don't Cal State Northridge blockers know that they supposedly are in a heap of trouble?
Tonight at 7 at North Campus Stadium, seventh-ranked Northridge (7-1) will meet 10th-ranked Cal Poly San Luis Obispo (7-1), which boasts what reportedly is the toughest green- and gold-clad defensive line this side of Green Bay, Wis.
San Luis Obispo is stingier than a Helmsley. The Mustangs are second in NCAA Division II against the run, allowing an average of 70.9 yards a game, and are third in total defense (229.9 yards).
End Pat Moore (6-foot-3, 265 pounds) and tackle Robert Morris (6-4, 270), senior anchors of the team's defensive front, are both considered pro football prospects.
So why aren't Matador linemen quaking in their grimy, black high-tops?
"It's not like we've never gone up against a good defense before," Rod Menzel, Northridge starting left guard, explained this week. "We have one of the best defensive lines around and we go against them every day of the year."
Indeed, CSUN is similar to San Luis Obispo in that its forte is defense, as has been known since summer training camp's first snap. If Northridge had an Achilles' heel, it was said, it was the offensive line.
Three months later, the Matadors seem to be limping along rather nicely.
Northridge, 4-0 in conference play and a game up on the Mustangs in the WFC title chase, has won seven in a row since losing its opener at Northern Arizona.
The foremost reason for CSUN's surge is the play of center Skip Allum, tackles John Chase and Don Goodman, guards Menzel, Matt Nicolo, Art Espino and Anthony McClellan and tight end George Fua.
Only Menzel, a part-time starter last season, had notable four-year-college experience entering this season. Little wonder that the line's early reviews were mixed.
Northridge won three of its first four games, but Albert Fann, the Matadors' All-American tailback, reached triple-digits in rushing only once. Since Northridge began conference play Oct. 6 with a win against three-time defending WFC champion Portland State, however, Fann's lowest total has been 127 yards.
"They're getting better every week," Fann said of his escorts, "but the Portland State game was the highlight of their season as far as when they started to turn it on and blow people off the ball. In the beginning, they were all new to the system and they had some problems. It just took a little time to get it together."
And to get healthy. Coach Bob Burt did not have his best six linemen available for the same game until Northridge traveled to Southern Utah State on Oct. 13. Even then, the Matadors were stretched thin. Espino, Nicolo and McClellan all played with sprained right ankles, each playing as long as he could before being replaced by another almost-as-gimpy teammate.
Talk about putting up a brave front.
One side benefit to Northridge's early rash of injuries is that the Matador line now has more interchangeable parts than a Lego set.
"I started off at left tackle and now I'm at right guard," Espino said. "Matt was right guard, now he's left guard. Goodman was left tackle, now he's both. It took a while, but we've finally settled in."
Burt says a line's familiarity breeds success.
"You've got line calls and getting the backs to feel where the holes are going to be behind each guy and how he blocks people. Those are all intangibles that really can't be measured," Burt said.
At different times this season, the Northridge line has adeptly executed each element of the Matador offense.
Against Southern Utah, the line sprang Fann and fullback Anthony Nicholson for 136 yards each by using a variety of trap blocks. Against Cal State Sacramento, the Matadors successfully used pitch plays and sweeps. As for pass protection, CSUN quarterbacks have been sacked only 11 times.
However, San Luis Obispo, as big and physical on defense as any Division II team, figures to stretch the seams of Northridge's pocket.
"It's going to be a great challenge, but they're men just like we are," Goodman said. "We're not losing any sleep over them. We're facing a tough defense. We're just going to have to overcome that."
Fann, for one, is tired of talking about the Mustang defense. He's ready to test it.
"Everybody is bragging on their defensive line, but I think we have a pretty good offensive line," Fann said. "If they just give me a little bit of room, I'll do what I can do."


PROVIDENCE — A lawyer for Sybil Bailey, a former Providence human resources director who left City Hall in February, has sent a letter notifying the city that Bailey intends to sue unless a settlement is reached.
The letter states that Bailey was wrongly forced to resign from her position and has claims for discrimination on the basis of sex, age and race as well as violation of due process rights, defamation of character and violation of whistleblower protections.
She will sue unless the city settles for $150,000, agrees to pay a year of health insurance and puts a letter in her personnel file stating that she was in good standing at the time of her departure, according to her lawyer's letter.
Bailey’s lawyer, Jeffrey Kasle, wrote that the city’s director of operations, Sabrina Solares-Hand, and Chief of Staff Nicole Pollock had accused Bailey of inappropriately referring her friends and relatives to city directors for employment and of providing answers to pre-employment test questions to one of her relatives. Bailey said the accusations were fabricated and the decision to terminate her employment had already been made.
Bailey, according to the letter, which is dated Aug. 29 and was provided to The Journal on Thursday, had made reports to Solares-Hand multiple times during the course of her employment about other employees’ inappropriate conduct and racist comments, including the use of the n-word by a city director. Solares-Hand dismissed her complaints as “no big deal,” the letter says.
She also believes the city discriminated against her on the basis of sex and age, as she was replaced by a younger man with less experience, according to the letter. Emmanuel Echevarria currently holds the human resources director position.
Victor Morente, a spokesman for Mayor Jorge Elorza, responded to the letter with a statement.
“While no law suit has been filed at this point, this claim is a first step in a legal matter, which the City would not typically comment on,” he wrote. “However, the Administration has reviewed the content of this initial claim and has found the accusations to be unfounded.”
Bailey left City Hall in early February and signed a separation agreement that promised her a severance of $127,278, pay her for all accrued and unused vacation days, and health and dental insurance through Feb. 28, 2020. It also included a confidentiality clause and forbade her from suing the city. But the City Council later voted to deny the agreement.
Bailey, who worked for the City of Providence for almost 17 years, began a new position in July as human resource director at the Community College of Rhode Island, earning $120,000.

Like so many, Broncos WR Kendall Hinton dreamed of playing quarterback in the NFL when he grew up. He played the position in high school and college before moving to receiver and making it to the league on Denver’s practice squad. Truly unique circumstances pushed Hinton into action at quarterback for the Broncos Sunday, and while it didn’t go the way he envisioned when he was younger, he was grateful for the opportunity.
“I would not say this is how I planned it out in my dreams, but it usually doesn’t work out how you want it,” Hinton said via Aric DiLalla of the team’s website. “So, just getting this opportunity and this experience has been amazing. Imagining myself playing quarterback in the NFL four years ago, it’s completely different being in a completely different situation. But, it’s an experience like none [other].”
- Per KUSA’s Mike Klis, Broncos RB Phillip Lindsay is having an MRI and getting a second opinion on a knee injury he suffered Sunday against the Saints.
- Broncos CB Bryce Callahan injured his left foot, which is the same one that gave him so much trouble all of last year. (Klis)
- Broncos HC Vic Fangio said Callahan will miss some time but Lindsay could be back for this week’s game against the Chiefs. (Ryan O’Halloran)
- Broncos LT Garett Bolles was understandably feeling some emotions after signing a massive extension just a few months after Denver declined his fifth-year option: “It’s been a real emotional 72 hours. I am very grateful. I am looking forward to finishing the season strong.” (Troy Renck)
- Bolles said he took Denver’s decision as a challenge and focused on responding well: “I mean that hurt me. But at same time that happens to a lot of people. I didn’t let that bother me. I just continued to focus on what’s important … I took it upon myself to show them I can, and this is the result.” (Klis)
- ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler says X-rays on Chargers LB Denzel Perryman came back negative after his back injury Sunday.
- Regarding his job status, Chargers HC Anthony Lynn said: “It comes with the territory. I control what I can control and I don’t worry about that. Of course, I like my job and I want to be here and I believe that I’m the right guy for the job and can turn this around. But that’s not my decision.” (Gilbert Manzano)
- Per Herbie Teope of the Kansas City Star, Chiefs HC Andy Reid said the only injury from Sunday was a sprained ankle for LB Dorian O’Daniel.
- NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport says Raiders RB Josh Jacobs has a sprained ankle and is undergoing tests, but the early thinking is the injury looked worse than it is.
- Rapoport adds Jacobs has a chance to play this week depending on how he feels.
- Raiders HC Jon Gruden said first-round CB Damon Arnette is in the concussion protocol: “Seems like he’s feeling good.” (Paul Gutierrez)
- Gruden expects Raiders RT Trent Brown to practice Wednesday but not play Sunday against the Jets. Las Vegas could get back DE Clelin Ferrell and S Lamarcus Joyner, though. (Tashan Reed)

Monsanto’s last-ditch efforts
Monsanto’s Clutching at Straws these days as they know their number 666 is up.
Monsanto’s Clutching at Straws also known as Monsatan
We the People have become aware of Monsanto’s Silent Sterilization and poisoning of us. However, Monsatan doesn’t give up so easily. GMOZ Evil begets GMOZ Evil that’s just the way it is. They will fight to their dying breath and we Doowans hope that their dying won’t take to long.
In Monsanto’s last-ditch efforts to save their Evil plans they are attempting to pull a fast one with Monsanto’s GMOZs anti-human technology. There is no longer any legitimate, scientific defense of growing Monsanto’s GMOZ crops for human consumption. The only people still clinging to the myth that “GMOZs are safe” are scientific mercenaries with financial ties to Monsanto and the biotech industry. Monsanto’s GMOZ promoting scientists are the most disgusting humanoid creatures to ever set foot on the surface of this planet. They have aligned with the biotech industry because they know that no other industry is as evil as this biotech industry. Monsanto’s GMOZ pushers will lie, cheat, steal, falsify and even mass-murder as many people as it takes to further their agenda of total global domination over the entire food supply. See, The GMOZ White House.
We must stay vigilant over their dying corpse as Zombies are becoming more prevalent these days. We all know the only way to kill a Zombie is to take off their head. Got your shovel ready?
Monsatan Zombie Bites back
In their last-ditch effort to save themselves. The Monsatan zombie actively tried to bite, with new attacks on our health freedom. It turns out that Monsatan quietly attached riders to both the 2012 Farm Bill and the 2013 Agriculture Appropriations Bill. That would essentially force the federal government to approve GMOZs at the request of any of the biotechnology companies, and prohibit all safety reviews of GMOZs from having any real impact on the GMOZ approval process. In other words, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) would be strong-armed into approving a new GMOZ crops. The Secretary of Agriculture, under the provisions of the Kingston rider, will be required to approve the cultivation and sale of that crop, even if a higher court has already ordered a moratorium on that crop.
Monsanto’s Zombies sneaky trick
The House Agriculture Committee’s discussion draft of the 2012 Farm Bill, where Monsanto has inserted key language, that will dismantle existing federal law that pertains to regulating GM crops, and replace it with a free-for-all system where biotech giants are free to grow and market whatever GMOZs they please without resistance or legal challenge. “A so-called ‘Monsanto rider,” quietly slipped into the multi-billion dollar FY 2013 Agriculture Appropriations Bill, would not just allow, but require, the Secretary of Agriculture to grant a temporary permit for the planting or cultivation of a genetically engineered crop, even if a federal court has ordered the planting be halted until an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is completed.” You can read the rider for yourself, which begins on page 86, Sec. 733 of the following document: http://appropriations.house.gov
These provisions (Sections 10011, 10013 and 10014) would force the commercialization of GE crops, create a backdoor approval for Dow’s ‘Agent Orange’ and eliminate any meaningful review of the impacts of these deadly crops. These provisions would explicitly outlaw any review of the environmental or human impacts of GM crops under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the Endangered Species Act (ESA), or any other environmental laws as well. Only the USDA would be allowed to review the safety of GM crops, and this review process would severely neutered the USDA that it would essentially operate as a formal “rubber stamp” for approving the biotech industry’s offerings.
Both sets of riders threaten to eliminate every remaining regulatory power that “We the People” have over our own food system. If passed, these riders will abolish virtually all remaining protections over the American food supply, and allow Monsatan Zombies and the rest of Big Ag to completely control what is grown, and how it is grown.
Both Congress and the White House are in the process of frantically trying to design an appropriations bill to thwart the impending “fiscal cliff,” when the provisions of the Budget Control Act of 2011 come into effect. But corporate agriculture and the biotechnology industry both want a piece of the legislative pie, which is why they are pushing to basically turn any proposed fiscal cliff bill into the Monsanto Protection Act by attaching so-called “GMOZ Riders” its primary provisions. That’s pretty sneaky for a zombie.
How to Kill a Monsatan Zombie
Alliance for Natural Health – USA (ANH-USA) has issued a warning about the developing appropriations bill that Congress is working on to solve the fiscal cliff crisis, as it will more than likely contain special provisions for the biotechnology industry to continue forcing genetically modified organisms (GMOZs) into the food supply with little or no resistance. According to ANH-USA, Monsanto and its zombies know that any proposed fiscal cliff bill will more than likely pass with flying colors because the “crisis” as its addresses is urgent, so the industry is heavily lobbying Congress to add special provisions for GMOZs that must be stopped.
In addition to this, another GMOZ Rider expected to sneak its way into the fiscal cliff bill. Which would outlaw the scientific review of any and all GM crops under the guidelines of the National Environmental Policy Act, the Endangered Species Act, or any other federal or state environmental laws. Under this scandalous provision, only the U.S. Department of Agriculture would be allowed to offer any type of analysis for GMOZs , and even if the agency produced negative findings, such evidence would have no effect on the “GMOZ” approval.
In other words, Big Biotech wants to strip all remaining barriers that stand in the way of approving new GM crops by basically enacting a federal free-for-all as it pertains to the regulatory process for the planting and sale of GMOZs. And if Congress capitulates to the industry’s demands and sells its collective soul for the 30 pieces of silver that Monsatan is offering the American people. We can expect to see even more deadly GMOZ crops pop up unexpectedly, unlabeled, and just as deadly throughout our food supply.
GMOZs are unfit for all life
Evidence keeps emerging, that Monsanto’s GMOZs are absolutely and without question unfit for human consumption. France has already launched an investigation that may result in the nation banning GM corn imports. Russia has banded them already. It’s already illegal to grow genetically modified crops in France, but the nation still allows GMOZ imports. Go figure?
Real science paints a different picture: GMOZs may be creating an entire generation of cancer victims who have a heightened risk of growing massive mammary gland tumors caused by the consumption of GM foods. The mass poisoning of billions of people with a toxic food crop that was never properly tested in the first place.
Remember thalidomide? Babies being born with no arms and other heart-breaking deformities? Thalidomide was pushed as “scientific” and “FDA approved.” The same lies are now being told about GMOZs. They’re safe. They’re nutritious. They will feed the world! And pigs can fly!
The GMOZ industry, doesn’t want any independent research conducted on GMOZs. They don’t want long-term feeding trials, and they most certainly do not want studies conducted by scientists they can’t control with financial ties.
What they want is to hide GMOZs in products by making sure they’re not listed on the labels. Hence, the biotech industry’s opposition to Proposition 37. Monsanto is now the No. 1 most hated corporation in America. The company’s nickname is MonSatan. It is the destructive force behind the lobbying of the USDA, FDA, scientists and politicians that have all betrayed the American people and given in to genetically modified seeds.
These seeds, some of which grow their own toxic pesticides right inside the grain, are a form of chemical brutality against children and adults. This is “child abuse” at its worst. Hell, it’s an abuse to all of humanity. It is the most serious crime ever committed against nature and all of humankind.
This is out right war at the genetic level. This kind of war makes bullets, bombs and nukes look downright tame by comparison. Because the GMOZ war is based on self-replicating genetic pollution, which has already been released into the environment, into the food supply; and into our bodies.
The sheer brutality of what the Monsanto’s GMOZ industry has committed against humanity screams out for a decisive response. Cut off their head! It is impossible to overreact to this. No collective response goes too far when dealing with this evil industry that quite literally threatens the very basis of life on our planet. The truth is that humanity will never be safe until Monsanto GMOZ seed zombies and manufacturers are behind bars, locked away from society and denied the ability to ever bite or threaten humanity again.
What we are fighting for here is the protection of all species. We are fighting for the sanctity of all life on our planet. Those who threaten that life must be stopped from continuing to harm us. This evil must be put back in its Roundup box and prevented from ever threatening us again.
Zombie killers in Congress
Even Congress is starting to state the obvious on how evil Monsanto really is. One amendment being proposed by Rep. Peter DeFazio (D-Or.) seeks to altogether cut the Kingston rider. Urge your Congressmen to support Rep. DeFazio’s amendment to kill the Monsanto Protection Act. Congressman Dennis Kucinich demanded GMOZ labeling in a powerful speech. Can Zombies hear?
Finally a voice for “We the People”. We thank you! Watch at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4J_YvtbSSqg
The GMOZ debate is over. Their Zombie horrors have been revealed. The truth can no longer be hidden, denied, or swept under some legislative rug, and the reaction from the public cannot and will not be stopped. It is time for decisive intervention. Off with their heads! Monsanto must be stopped by the will of the People. The mass poisoning of our families and children by this evil, destructive corporation that seeks to dominate the world food supply shall be halted. We the People have spoken.
