Mohammed Morsi's death is a sombre milestone in Egypt's ill-fated democratic transition after the Arab Spring in 2011.
Egypt's first democratically elected president collapsed and died while on trial in a Cairo courtroom today, Egyptian state television reported.
Morsi, 67, won Egypt's first free presidential election in 2012 as a senior leader of the Muslim Brotherhood, but he was removed from power a year later in a military takeover.
He was on trial on espionage charges when he fainted and died, Egyptian television said.
Minutes before he collapsed, Morsi addressed the court from the glass cage that prisoners are kept in, warning that he could reveal "many secrets," AP reported, citing judicial sources.
The cause of death was not immediately released, but critics blamed Egyptian authorities for his death.
They said that Morsi's poor health was a long-standing issue and that there had been repeated and public warnings that lack of proper medical care in prison could lead to his death.
"His willful neglect is a case of premeditated murder," Mohammed Sudan, a prominent Brotherhood member, told Al Araby TV.
Morsi's election was the apex of the Arab Spring uprising and also of the Muslim Brotherhood, a 90-year-old Islamist movement founded in Egypt.
Inaugurated seven years ago this month, on June 30, 2012, Morsi became the first freely elected president in Arab history and the first Islamist to occupy that role.
Many Egyptians hoped the election of Morsi would make a definitive break with Egypt's long history of autocracy after decades of harsh and corrupt rule under President Hosni Mubarak. Mubarak was ousted in the 2011 uprising.
Critics in Washington and around the region raised alarms that Morsi might seek to impose strict moral codes or theocratic rule. But he surprised many by seeking cordial relations with the US, recognising the state of Israel and developing a warm working relationship with US President Barack Obama.
In foreign policy, Morsi worked with Obama to help negotiate a peace agreement to end a week of fighting between Israel and Palestinian militant group Hamas in 2012.
But Morsi's rule was troubled from the start. He governed clumsily, grappled with a hostile military establishment, and in 2013 faced a giant popular protest in Tahrir Square, the crucible of the 2011 uprising.
Egypt's top generals dissolved the country's first freely elected Parliament just days before Morsi's election and claimed most legislative and budgetary powers for themselves.
The protests in Tahrir Square provided the military with an excuse to oust him in 2013.
His defence minister, General Abdel-Fattah el-Sisi, seized power on July 3, 2013, and was later elected president. El-Sisi still rules Egypt with an iron grip, and the country's democratic hopes have been largely extinguished.
After Morsi was ousted in 2013, he was convicted of various crimes in politicised trials held under the new military-backed government. He has remained in prison since then.
Some members of Egypt's opposition blamed Egypt's prison conditions for Morsi's death.
"Morsi was a victim of brutal prison conditions," said Gamal Eid, a lawyer and human rights advocate, speaking by phone. "His family spent two years in court proceedings trying to win the right to visit him."
Last year, a panel of British politicians and lawyers reviewing his treatment concluded that Morsi received "inadequate medical care, particularly inadequate management of his diabetes and inadequate management of his liver disease."
The panel said the conditions fell below international standards and "would constitute cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment," Crispin Blunt, an MP who led the panel, said in a statement today.
"We feared that if Dr Morsi was not provided with urgent medical assistance, the damage to his health may be permanent and possibly terminal," Blunt said. "Sadly, we have been proved right."
The new government also outlawed the Muslim Brotherhood, calling it a terrorist group. The Brotherhood was founded in Egypt in 1928, and its ideas quickly spread to other Muslim-majority countries in the Arab world and beyond.
In April, US President Donald Trump pushed to designate the Brotherhood as a terrorist organisation under pressure from el-Sisi, a close ally.
The Pentagon and State Department objected, saying the group does not meet the definition of a terrorist entity.
Officials at those departments also said they feared that designating the Brotherhood as a terrorist group could complicate America's relations with a host of allied countries in the Middle East with influential Brotherhood-affiliated political parties.
Morsi's son Ahmed mourned his father on Facebook, writing: "Father, we will meet again, with God."
Morsi grew up in a family of modest means in the Delta city of Sharqiya, Egypt.
He earned a PhD in material science from the University of Southern California and later taught at Zagazig Univsersity, near Sharqiya.

Better Sleep Begins from Within: How to Eat Well for More Restful Z’s
Better Sleep Begins from Within: How to Eat Well for More Restful Z’s
It is no surprise that in today’s society, good sleep is hard to come by.
Between the increasingly high demands placed on us at the office, caring for ourselves and our families, and finding downtime for personal enjoyment, sleep often drops to the bottom of the priority list.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that one in three Americans don’t get enough sleep. And even though The National Sleep Foundation recommends that adults need between 7 and 9 hours of sleep per night, about 35.2% of Americans get less than that.
Establishing healthy sleep habits like avoiding screens before bed, going to sleep at the same time every night, and performing soothing practices before you hit the hay can be beneficial. But what you might not know is what you’re eating throughout the day can also have a big impact on the rest you may—or may not—be getting.
Vitamins, minerals & eating tips to help you doze off
Fueling your body with healthy, whole foods that are rich in a variety of nutrients has always been a recommended way to eat. However, now we’re going to take this method a step further and discuss ways that you can eat well to prepare your body to wind down for the day. Here are our functional nutritionist’s recommendations for how to fuel your body for restful sleep.
Magnesium is a miracle mineral when it comes to helping the body drift off into slumber. This is because it helps the body produce melatonin?—which has been known to help ward off insomnia and improve sleep habits. You can naturally find magnesium in dark, leafy green vegetables, whole grains, fish, and beans.
Just as magnesium plays a critical role in the production of melatonin, so does calcium. In fact, the brain needs calcium so that it can fully utilize the amino acid, tryptophan, to make melatonin and trigger drowsiness. Fill up on a glass of milk or perhaps have some broccoli to get your daily dose of this essential mineral.?
Research suggests that there may be a link between low levels of vitamin C and a lack of quality sleep. This evidence suggests that when your body does not have enough vitamin C throughout the course of the day, you are more likely to wake up periodically during the night rather than sleeping until morning. Oranges, strawberries, cantaloupe, bell peppers, broccoli, carrots, and Brussels sprouts all contain enough of your daily vitamin C dosage.
There has been a proven association between vitamin D deficiency and sleep disorders, such as insomnia and sleep apnea. The thought behind this research stems from the idea that vitamin D is great for maintaining quality levels of sleep. Because we can get a large portion of daily vitamin D intake from exposure to sunlight, it is especially crucial to focus on hitting recommended levels of vitamin D in the winter when hours of sunlight are reduced.
To make sure you are maintaining your recommended vitamin D levels all year long, include more salmon, canned tuna, egg yolks, and mushrooms in your diet.
Studies show that people with the best sleep habits had the highest fiber consumption. Those that had less than 5 hours of sleep had the lowest fiber intake.
In addition, the study also found that participants who ate a diet higher in sugar and saturated fat had more disrupted sleep patterns, with refined carbohydrates being a big culprit. Complex carbohydrates found in whole foods were found to create a more stable blood sugar level than added sugars from processed foods like baked goods, crackers, and chips.
Some high fiber foods to consider adding to your regular meal rotations include avocados, raspberries, lentils, chickpeas, split peas, oats, almonds, and chia seeds.
Foods that inhibit shut-eye
If your goal is to doze off as quickly as possible, there are certain foods that you may want to avoid. This list includes:
- Tea (with caffeine)
- Soda & energy drinks
- Processed foods
- High fat foods
Foods that fuel zzz’s
Just as there are many foods that can keep us awake, there are also many that can put us to bed. Below are just a few of our favorite bedtime snacks, packed with healthy nutrients, that you can incorporate into your nighttime ritual.
- Almonds (melatonin)
- Chamomile tea (apigenin, an antioxidant that promotes sleep)
- Poultry (tryptophan, which helps produce melatonin)
- Wild caught fish (B6, melatonin)
- Kale (calcium, which helps process melatonin and tryptophan)
- Bananas (potassium, magnesium, and tryptophan)
- Nuts & seeds (boosts serotonin)
- Grapes (melatonin)
- Dry, tart cherries (melatonin)
- Garbanzo beans (B6)
- Broccoli (fiber)
Our personal favorite bedtime recipe is for Dreamy Golden Milk. Follow the recipe below and let us know how you like it!
Dreamy Golden Milk
- 2 cups Almond Milk, unsweetened
- 1 tsp. Turmeric Powder
- 1/4 tsp. Ginger Powder
- 1/8 tsp. Nutmeg
- 1/8 tsp. Cardamom Powder
- 1/16 tsp. Cloves, ground
- 1 Cinnamon stick, or 1/4 tsp. ground Cinnamon
- 1 Star Anise (optional)
- 1/4 Vanilla bean, scraped or 1/2 tsp. Vanilla extract
- Pinch of Black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 tsp. Honey, or Stevia to taste (optional)
- 1 Tbsp. Coconut Oil (optional- assists with the absorption of turmeric)
1. Place the almond milk in a small saucepan. Add all the spices and heat gently. Simmer for 5 minutes. Do not boil the milk but allow it to heat thoroughly. At the end, add a sweetener of your choice and the coconut oil (optional).
2. Whisk well. Pour into 2 cups. You may strain out the spices or serve with a cinnamon stick and star anise in the cups.
3. Sip and enjoy in a relaxing environment! This dreamy golden milk can be a nourishing and soothing bedtime ritual.
Even more important than the last thing you eat before bed is the timing of your last meal. We recommend eating your last meal approximately 2-3 hours before you hit the hay for proper digestion and absorption.
The root cause of insomnia can often be difficult to pinpoint. Stress, a busy schedule, a poor nighttime routine, medications, medical conditions, changes in activity level, and changes in health can all influence our ability to get a good night’s sleep. However, focusing on factors you can control—like your nutritional intake—encourages you to take your power back and make lasting changes that will result in healthy sleep habits for years to come.
Finding a sleep routine that works for you will take some time, but that is why we are here to help. Scheduling an appointment with one of our functional nutritionists is a great first step toward uncovering the root cause of your insomnia. Located in Solana Beach in San Diego County, CA, Spark Health naturopathic wellness center takes a whole-body approach to your healthcare, which means we will work with you on a nutrition plan to help you make the most of your night time hours.

There’s a “great untruth” that’s gaining traction in the western world.
This ‘great untruth’ is leading to the polarisation of our community. It’s eroding the stability of civil society. And if left unchecked, it could spell the end of our democracy.
Speaking of this danger, secular Psychologist, author, and New York University professor Jonathan Haidt recently gave a warning about American democracy (although it applies to many other democracies, including ours):
‘I think there is a very good chance … that in the next 30 years we will have a catastrophic failure of [American] democracy.’
The “great untruth” that’s leading many democracies down this path is not new. It’s been around for a long time.
So what is this “great untruth”?
The Great Untruth That’s Destabilising Western Societies:
Seeing life as a battle between good people and evil people.
Authors Jonathan Haidt and Greg Lukianoff expose this dangerous ‘untruth’ in their recent book, ‘The Coddling of the American Mind – How Good Intentions and Bad Ideas are Setting Up a Generation for Failure’. It’s an untruth that rears its ugly head during heated cultural disagreements. They write:
‘[This untruth has] flowered on many college campuses [and] now extends from the campus into the corporate world and the public square, including national politics. They are also spreading outward from American universities to universities throughout the English-speaking world…Anyone who cares about young people, education, or democracy should be concerned about these trends.’
It’s an ominous warning. But it’s hard disagree with. I’ve seen the effects of this great untruth many times, and especially online.
I’ve commentated on many areas of cultural disagreement on this blog: from safe-schools, to same-sex marriage, to abortion. All contentious, emotive issues. And as I’ve argued for a classically Christian position on these issues, I’ve received increasingly angry pushback:
Not only have my views been judged as immoral , but my motives have also been judged: I’m seen to be motivated by hate, with the intent of wanting to harm other people.
Now this judging of other people’s motives has a name: it’s called ‘motive attribution asymmetry’. People with motive attribution asymmetry assume that their beliefs are based on love (e.g. ‘love is love’), while their opponents beliefs are built on hate (e.g. homophobia).
In other words, they assume the best motives in themselves, and the worst motives in their political/social opponents. They’re the good guys, while the opposing side is evil – with no nuance or shades of grey. And this black and white view of society is affecting mainstream political discourse. As Journalist Janet Albrechtson points out:
‘[There is research] that has found, on average, Republicans and Democrats suffer from a level of motive attribution asymmetry comparable with Palestinians and Israelis who were surveyed over their regional conflict – “each side thinks it is driven by benevolence, while the other is evil and motivated by hatred – and is therefore the enemy whom on cannot negotiate or compromise.”
(Of course, there are situations – historically, and today – where one side clearly is driven by hatred, while the other side is driven by love. But we shouldn’t assume this without any evidence.)
While in my experience I’ve mostly seen this behaviour from the secular Left, I know my heart well enough to see how I’ve fallen into believing this great untruth – especially in heated online arguments. I’m as susceptible to this great untruth as anyone else, and the fallout is destructive.
The Fallout from The Great Untruth
There is serious fallout when growing segments of the electorate believe this great untruth. Here are 3 that come to mind:
1) It Leads to Contempt Toward Your Opponents
And contempt makes compromise and finding common ground almost impossible.
When we see the other person as evil, and motivated by hate, it becomes easy to show contempt for them. And contempt is corrosive to relationships. According to Professor John Gottman – who has studied the effect of contempt on relationships – anger in a relationship isn’t the worst problem: contempt for the other person is.
Contempt says you don’t care about the other person, that they are worthless. Contempt makes no room for compromise or the search for common ground.
Contempt says that people with different views (especially views deemed politically incorrect) are so lacking in moral worth that they should not be heard.
2) Trying to Shut down and Publicly Shame Opponents
Not least, to demonstrate their ‘virtue’ to our own tribe.
A classic example of public shaming was the online targeting of Coopers beer in 2017. The Bible society of Australia put out an innocuous video put showing a friendly discussion about same sex marriage.
And within 24 hours, Cooper brewery (whose light beer was featured in the Bible Society video) received a serious social media pile-on from activists and pro-SSM pubs.
While there was a distinct element of public shaming toward those seen to merely support a politically incorrect cause, there was also an element of virtue signalling.
As social commentator Bernard Salt argues:
‘Insults, invective and supposedly gotcha moments are hurled at the opposition from behind a social media barricade. Occasionally, someone breaks free from the ranks of civility to show their contempt for the deplorables, or for the social justice warriors, by “calling out” their behaviour…’
‘You might assume that those hurling insults via social media are trying to change the status quo. In fact, I suspect the real purpose is to secure the support of their tribe. This is particularly the case with the social media pile-on, in which a perceived transgression draws out those seeking the approval of others by pathetically piling on the transgressor.’
Having experienced at least one twitter pile-on, I can tell you it’s not much fun. But the damage isn’t merely in terms of a person or company’s reputation.
As bad as the reputational damage caused by social media ‘piling-on’, what’s even worse is the bypassing of civil dialogue, which is vital to a democratic society.
3) There is No Engagment with the Argument of the Other Side.
(And why should there be? They’re just ‘hate-filled bigots’).
Journalist Janet Albrechtson points out a disturbing fact:
‘In the US, one in six Americans have stopped talking to a family member or a close friend since the 2016 presidential election of Donald Trump. And their parents now worry far more about their children marrying someone with different political views.’
When we view the other side with contempt we’re unlikely to want to hear what they’ve got to say. When we see the other side as driven by hate, we don’t want to listen (let alone understand) their point of view. We just want to disengage, and throw stones at them on social media.
But this disengaging won’t end well for our society. And Christians should be concerned about this, as real people are harmed by the effects of this great untruth.
So what can be done?
While Christians are often on the receiving end of contempt because of our views, we can still influence others – even our opponents – by how we engage. And the Bible gives us the spiritual and intellectual resources to engage well:
The Way Out of This Great Untruth
1) Don’t Pay Back Contempt With Contempt
But remember your opponents are made in God’s image.
When someone is contemptuous of you, it’s almost natural to return in kind.
And yet, we’ll be less likely return contempt for contempt if we remember that those opposing us are also God’s image bearers. for whom Christ Jesus shed his blood. They’re precious to him.
And it’s not our place to tear other image bearers down. As James 3:9-10 warns us:
‘With [our tongues] we bless our Lord and Father, and with it we curse people who are made in God’s image. From the same mouth come blessing and cursing. My brothers and sisters, this should not be so.’
2) Remember We’re All Sinners Deserving God’s Condemnation.
There is no room for self-righteousness.
The great untruth has power because we can delude ourselves to think that if the other person is bad, then we – their opponents – must be good. And we can revel in our self-righteousness, and tear people down just like the Pharisees did in Jesus’ day (and to Jesus!).
But the powerful antidote is to remember that we’re just as worthy of God’s condemnation as anyone else: it’s only by God’s mercy that we’re saved. And as we’ve received mercy from God, so we should show mercy to others – even our opponents (cf. 1 Peter 3:9-13).
3) Assume Your Opponent is Driven By Good Motives
Unless it becomes clear that they’re not.
Most (if not all) anti-Christian opponents in this country are acting out of good motives – even if they are often misguided and wrong in their particular views. Wanting women’s equality, or preventing bullying of gay kids are good motives in and of themselves (even though their solutions might be damaging). T
As mentioned, there are situations where our opponents are driven by hatred. But let’s not assume this, but base any such conclusion on evidence.
If we assume good motives, we’ll be more likely to engage their arguments, rather than showing contempt toward them as people.
4) Engage Your Opponent’s Arguments with Gentleness
By first understanding what they’re saying.
The apostle Paul’s advice to Timothy is much needed in our outrage driven social media age:
‘The Lord’s servant must not be quarrelsome but kind to everyone, able to teach, patiently enduring evil, correcting his opponents with gentleness. God may perhaps grant them repentance leading to a knowledge of the truth.’
2 Tim 2:24-25
Gentleness – now there’s something that’s increasingly rare in the social media world these days. And yet Christians are commanded by God to argue with gentleness.
But not only is a gentle tone important, so is intellectual fairness. As theologian David Bentley Hart argues:
‘An honourable critic of any idea will always seek out and try to understand the strongest formulations of that idea, as well as the most pervasive arguments in its favour, before attempting its refutation.’
To put it another way, if we’re to love our neighbour – even if they oppose us – the least we can and must do is first understand their position, and then engage – but gently.
This ‘True’ Approach May Change The Debate
(Or at least the tone of debates)
If Christians consistently engaged in debate in the above ways, we might well influence others for good. As we show compassion and respect toward those opposing us, they’re more likely to be respectful, and open to what we’ve got to say.
The future of civil society – and our democracy may well depend on this.

AMD64 dual-core multi-core NVIDIA 8200 ubuntu 8.10 2.6.27 freeze hang lock-up maxcpus=1
System freezes (blank screen, white or other solid colour, cannot toggle numlock, change tty, or get any response via Alt-SysRq combinations) with amd64, multi-core and integrated NVIDIA 8200. Requires hard reset. No message is output to the F8 console (if provoking the freeze while in text mode) and no errors are written to system logs.
(nvidia-bug-report.log attached in two parts.)
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
The freeze can be easily provoked by configuring networking using knetworkmanager using an Atheros chipset 802.11n PCI network card and the ath9k driver... freeze is usually within seconds of starting networking…at most a few minutes, depending on network activity. However, the freeze will still happen eventually even if the network is not initialized.
Only known work-around is limiting the system to a single CPU core via maxcpus=1 kernel boot parameter (clearly not a desirable solution). With a single core, the system is rock solid, even under heavy network, graphics, processing or memory load.
As there is a history of amd64 multi-core + NVIDIA systems freezing, and the freeze will happen eventually even without configuring networking, my hypothesis is that the freezing is NVIDIA driver-related, possibly to do with interrupt handling or a spinlock issue? Having testing limiting the kernel to less than 4GB of memory and disabling iommu (either APGART or swiotbl) I believe I’ve ruled out a memory DMA issue.

More than half of kids aren’t getting enough sleep
School children who get 9 hours of sleep most weeknights are significantly more likely to show a positive outlook toward school and other signs of “childhood flourishing,” but more than half of school age children in the U.S. do not get enough sleep during the week.
According to recent research by the American Academy of Pediatrics, only 48% of school age children get 9 hours of sleep most weeknights.
“Chronic sleep loss is a serious public health problem among children,” research author Dr. Hoi See Tsao said. “Insufficient sleep among adolescents, for example, is associated with physical and mental health consequences including increased risk of depression and obesity and negative effects on mood, attention and academic performance.”
According to Harvard Medical School, the recommended amount for sleep for infants is 12 to 16 hours (including naps); toddlers 11 to 14 hours (including naps); preschoolers 10 to 13 hours including naps); grade school-aged children nine to 12 hours; and teens eight to 10 hours.
Here are four ways to help make sure your children get enough sleep during the week, according to Harvard Medical School:
1. Make sleep a priority:Like scheduling time for homework, sports and other other activities, schedule time for sleep. Start from when your child needs to get up in the morning, then found back the number of hours your child needs to sleep. Set a non-negotiable bedtime.
2. Start the bedtime routine earlier:Give you kids time to wind down because it isn’t easy to go straight from a physically or mentally intense activity right to sleep. Give your child 30 minutes to an hour to wind down before their bedtime.
3. Turn off screens:Blue light from screens can wake up the brain and make it harder to fall asleep. Turn off an hour before you want your child to be asleep.
4. Keep the same sleep routines: Even on weekends and vacations, keep the same sleep routines. Changes in sleep routines can throw a child’s body “off.”

BACKGROUND: Setting research priorities for improving nutrition in Africa is currently ad hoc and there is a need to shift the status quo in the light of slow progress in reducing malnutrition. This study explored African stakeholders' views on research priorities in the context of environmental and socio-demographic changes that will impact on nutritional status in Africa in the coming years.
METHODS: Using Multi-Criteria Mapping, quantitative and qualitative data were gathered from 91 stakeholders representing 6 stakeholder groups (health professionals, food Industry, government, civil society, academics and research funders) in Benin, Mozambique, South Africa, Tanzania, Togo and Uganda. Stakeholders appraised six research options (ecological nutrition, nutritional epidemiology, community nutrition interventions, behavioural nutrition, clinical nutrition and molecular nutrition) for how well they could address malnutrition in Africa.
RESULTS: Impact (28.3%), research efficacy (23.6%) and social acceptability (22.4%) were the criteria chosen the most to evaluate the performance of research options. Research on the effectiveness of community interventions was seen as a priority by stakeholders because they were perceived as likely to have an impact relatively quickly, were inexpensive and cost-effective, involved communities and provided direct evidence of what works. Behavioural nutrition research was also highly appraised. Many stakeholders, particularly academics and government were optimistic about the value of ecological nutrition research (the impact of environmental change on nutritional status). Research funders did not share this enthusiasm. Molecular nutrition was least preferred, considered expensive, slow to have an impact and requiring infrastructure. South Africa ranked clinical and molecular nutrition the highest of all countries.
CONCLUSION: Research funders should redirect research funds in Africa towards the priorities identified by giving precedence to develop the evidence for effective community nutrition interventions. Expanding research funding in behavioural and ecological nutrition was also valued and require multi-disciplinary collaborations between nutritionists, social scientists, agricultural and climate change scientists.

I was given the task of creating the baby shower invitations for one of my dear friends baby showers which will take place next month.
Her mother sent me the below picture as a sample idea of what the mama-to-be picked out to give me an idea of what she liked.
My friends' colors are pink and brown. Mine would be hand made, so I needed to brainstorm as to how to incorporate this idea my friend liked into a homemade card.
I immediately ordered a Cricut cartridge titled New Arrival from ebay. This cartridge included a onesie design that I thought would work perfectly. Next, a girlfriend and I went to our local Michael's to pick out some paper. Unfortunately the store only had 3 small print pink and brown patterned paper, so it was time to get creative.
After several hours of brainstorming, I came up with the following design:
I just have to finish the interior which will be all of the details (who, where, when, etc).
It's my first time crafting since before the wedding (August). Feels so nice to be back at it :)

Impeachment is a constitutional mechanism. The Twenty-Fifth Amendment is a constitutional mechanism. Mass resignations followed by voluntary testimony to congressional committees are a constitutional mechanism. Overt defiance of presidential authority by the president’s own appointees—now that’s a constitutional crisis.
If the president’s closest advisers believe that he is morally and intellectually unfit for his high office, they have a duty to do their utmost to remove him from it, by the lawful means at hand. That duty may be risky to their careers in government or afterward. But on their first day at work, they swore an oath to defend the Constitution—and there were no “riskiness” exemptions in the text of that oath.
On Wednesday, though, a “senior official in the Trump administration” published an anonymous op-ed in The New York Times, writing:
Many of the senior officials in his own administration are working diligently from within to frustrate parts of his agenda and his worst inclinations.
I would know. I am one of them.
The author of the anonymous op-ed is hoping to vindicate the reputation of like-minded senior Trump staffers. See, we only look complicit! Actually, we’re the real heroes of the story.

Irritable bowel syndrome affects millions of Americans, many of them not even realizing that the symptoms they feel are not normal. Some suffer from severe constipation, while others deal with diarrhea. Other symptoms are gas and bloating. According to the Mayo Clinic, as many as 1 in 5 adults has irritable bowel syndrome.
Your Doctor may suspect that you have IBS due to your symtoms. There are specific symptoms that a doctor will look for which is called the “Rome Criteria”. Your doctor may order other medical tests to be sure that you don’t have another health problem that causes the same symptoms. To diagnose IBS you may be asked to take some blood tests and a physical exam. Some other tests that may be included are a Lower Gastrointestinal (GI) Series, which x-rays your abdomen to see any problems in the Large Intestine. Another test is a Colonoscopy, which is when the doctor inserts a tiny camera into your colon to take pictures to see if there are any problems there.
IBS is a disease that can easily be misdiagnosed because there currently is no laboratory test or imaging test that doctors can use to help diagnose it. IBS symptoms are the main driver for diagnosis and this makes a doctor’s task more difficult since the disease shares so many characteristics with other illnesses. IBS is often mistaken for a number of other diseases including infectious diseases, parasites, food allergies, or lactose intolerance. IBS symptoms also closely mimic the symptoms of a patient with celiac disease.
Fortunately, plenty of great foods can be enjoyed on an IBS diet. In fact, there are some foods that can actually help IBS symptoms. These include many fruits, vegetables and whole grains.
Although the exact cause of irritable bowel syndrome is not known, stress and poor diet seem to be the aggravating factors. Irritable bowel syndrome is not a precursor to more serious problems like bowel cancer and doesn’t damage the lining of the colon. Hemorrhoids can form in untreated and long time suffers.
Some IBS sufferers have turned to Bavolex ” a natural remedy IBS relief, and found herbal relief.

For efficiency purposes, micro-hydro power requires a complicated turbine design. The fabrications of these designs typically have an increased cost, which makes it less feasible in resource-constrained environments such as rural Indonesia. Less efficient designs are often used instead. An applicable fabrication process and optimized design of a low-head microhydro power turbine will be developed over the grant period.

Hey guys, this is my first time using the TYT forum, so bear with me.
I’m writing this because I’m getting concerned and as a teacher trying to figure out the PSLF waiver while trying to get to a full time position. I’m concerned that this is gonna get swept under the rug.
With the exception of MO-01 representative Cori Bush mentioning MOHELA’s involvement in the process and some tweets from the twitter account, The Debt Collective (@StrikeDebt), it hasn’t gotten much media attention. It is VERY important for President Biden and Education Secretary Miguel Cardona to extend the deadline to July 2023. Given that midterms are coming up, he could at least do something so it would show that Democrats are not “lame ducks” on a issue. It is set to expire on Halloween and millions of people who work in public service are gonna be left out of the limited waiver. Can anyone help spread the word about this on social media and on their shows urging President Biden to extend the deadline until July 2023? More than 100 democrats in Congress are pushing Biden to extend the waiver. And there is a bill in Congress that would make the benefits of the PSLF waiver permanent. They are also talking about this on Twitter but it hasn’t gotten as much attention as it should. I’m aware its may not be as appealing as cancelling 100% of student loan debt as any of us would hope will happen, But its a step in the right direction.
If you’re looking for it on Twitter, or on other social media, check out the hashtags #PLSF #Extendthewaiver #ExtendthePSLFwaiver Here are some to articles that expand to what I’m talking about.
Thank you for your time.

It's good news for Director Farah Khan as the recent release 'Happy New Year' has entered the 200 crore club at the domestic box-office. With collections of approximately 200.50 crores nett, the film became a part of the 200 crore club of movies in its 3rd week of business. As the song 'Nonsense Ki Night' says 'All is in the well, if end is in the well', we guess this pretty much applies to the film.
This is the second film in which Shahrukh Khan and Deepika Padukone were paired together on-screen; an audience favourite it seems so. We should expect them to star in more films together. This film also starred Abhishek Bachchan, Boman Irani, Sonu Sood, Jackie Shroff and Vivaan Shah. Though critics seemed to dislike the overdose of masala in the film, the audience found it entertaining.
After steadily earning through the first two weeks, its business slowed down owing to the release of 'The Shaukeens'. With the release of 'Kill Dill' this week, HNY is expected to fade away at the box-office. The film's lifetime business is expected to go up till 203 crores nett.

President Obama has been clear that he wishes to look to the future and pursue an active domestic agenda, rather than dwelling on the mistakes of the prior administration. Unfortunately, revelations like the recent report that Vice President Cheney ordered the CIA to not reveal to Congress a program designed to assasinate Al Qaeda leaders, make this desire more difficult. See this very good Question and Answer article on this subject.
Will we really be able to move on from the Bush-era controvesies if we don’t confront them? I am of the opinion we cannot. What do you bloggers think?


The WA state government's mid-term performance review has revealed that the January 2023 floods in the Kimberley will cost taxpayers over $869 million dollars.
The announcement comes on a 45C day in Fitzroy Crossing.
Broome-based conservation group Environs Kimberley (EK) is calling on the State and Federal governments to recoup the cost from fossil fuel companies who have made billions in profits over the past year, while driving worsening climate impacts. EK is also calling on the WA and Commonwealth governments not to approve new gas projects in the Kimberley, including proposals by Buru Energy and Woodside.
EK Director of Strategy Martin Pritchard said, "The January 2023 floods have had a devastating impact on communities in the Kimberley’s Fitzroy Valley with many people losing all their possessions and homes. It’s now been revealed that this flood has come at a cost of what's likely to be over a billion dollars to taxpayers and private businesses.
"The State and Federal governments need to recognise that fossil fuel-driven climate change comes at an enormous cost to communities, taxpayers, private businesses and the natural environment and we know what and whom is causing this – oil, gas and coal companies."
The revelation of the enormous cost of the flood comes on a 45C day in Fitzroy Crossing with the next 10 days predicted to be above 40C. Fitzroy Crossing will be unliveable in the next 50 years with CSIRO and BoM data projecting 225 days over 40C a year if we continue on the current emissions trajectory.
“Catastrophic climate events like floods and heatwaves have been predicted for years and now we are bearing the enormous costs of burning fossil fuels while oil and gas companies like Woodside make billions in profits. There’s something very wrong with this picture and it’s clearly not sustainable for the environment nor taxpayers.
“We are calling on governments to firstly stop the damage by preventing new fossil fuel projects like Buru Energy's Kimberley onshore gas proposal and Woodside’s offshore Browse project and second, to instigate a ‘Climate Change Disaster Levy’ on fossil fuel companies that can be used to plan for climate change disasters as well as fund recovery work.
"Woodside has put a measly $750k towards flood recovery while making billions in profits and wants to open up more gasfields that will fuel climate change for another 50 years. They are throwing spare change at Western Australians suffering from floods, heatwaves and fires while pocketing enormous profits for themselves.
“We cannot open up any new oil and gas fields if we want a safe climate.”

Broome-based conservation group Environs Kimberley has welcomed the promised investment of $19 million for clean energy, including support for the Kimberley Communities Solar Saver programme.
“We welcome this announcement by the State Minister for Energy Bill Johnston and Commonwealth Minister for Energy Chris Bowen of support for clean energy in remote communities,” said Environs Kimberley Director of Strategy, Martin Pritchard.
The Kimberley’s heating climate, the result of burning fossil fuels, is a serious threat to people’s wellbeing and the environment, and more affordable clean energy is essential for the health of communities.
“There is a further opportunity to transition to clean energy much more quickly by replacing fossil-fuel burning with renewable energy. Horizon Power has already said that the Broome gas-fired power station can operate on 80% renewable energy. This would provide jobs, greatly reduce emissions, and be cheaper than to keep running on fossil gas.
Having 80% renewable energy in Broome is far better than what is currently being proposed by Buru Energy, who want to open a new gas field next to the Martuwarra Fitzroy River. This would inevitably lead to the industrialisation of the West Kimberley and a huge surge in methane and carbon pollution.
What we need now is for the WA Minister for Energy, Bill Johnston, to commit to the change before the current gas contract runs out in 2027,” said Mr Pritchard.

No need for artificial food dyes to transform hard cooked eggs into beautiful eggs for your Easter basket when you can extract the natural vibrant colours from real food like purple cabbage and turmeric, just to name a few!
I also tried blueberries, frozen wild as well as fresh, and paprika.
I had never done this before as I had not truly become aware of how many toxins I was exposed to on a daily basis. Eliminating or, at the very least, minimizing exposure to toxins has become a major focus for me. So when I noticed how staining the purple cabbage in my salad was, I thought about whether it was possible to colour Easter eggs with the gorgeous natural colour extracted from it. (You all know that food colouring is made in a lab and is the farthest thing away from being natural…)
I searched in my fridge, freezer and cupboard and found purple cabbage, blueberries, turmeric root and powder, and paprika. I got to extracting colour from these few items.
The cabbage was very interesting… The first thing I did was roughly chop some cabbage and soak it in white vinegar.
(1 cup cabbage + 1/2 cup white vinegar)
Next, I boiled some cabbage for about 10 minutes and drained it.
(1 cup cabbage + 2 cups water)
To half of that I added 1 Tbsp white vinegar; the other half no vinegar was added.
What was interesting with the cabbage was that adding vinegar turned the liquid red and the one where no vinegar was added, it cooled to a bluish purple.
The hard boiled eggs were placed in the cooled cabbage liquid and left overnight to soak in the fridge. I would be rewarded with some beautiful colours but not as I had expected!
With the blueberries, I poured warm water over the frozen ones, mashed them a bit and let sit for about 15 minutes
(1/2 cup frozen wild blueberries + 1 cup water)
and boiled the fresh ones for 10 minutes, drained and liquid cooled
(1/3 cup fresh blueberries + 1 cup water)
No vinegar was added to either. The liquid produced was red. Egg dropped in and put in the fridge to soak overnight.
With the turmeric, I used both the fresh (frozen) and the powdered form. Turmeric slices were boiled in water for about 15 minutes, drained and liquid cooled
(1 inch root, sliced + 2 cups water)
and boiling water poured over the powdered form, stirred and cooled to room temperature.
(1 Tbsp turmeric powder + 2 cups boiling water)
The eggs were dropped in and into the fridge they went to soak overnight.
I wasn’t sure about the paprika… But I tried it anyway. Poured boiling water over the paprika powder, stirred and cooled to room temperature before dropping the egg in. Soaked overnight.
(1 Tbsp paprika + 2 cups boiling water)
The following morning, the eggs were removed from their liquid and set on a cooling rack to dry. The colours were gorgeous! I was so thrilled!
However, after they had completely dried, a few had changed…
The ones soaked in turmeric remained yellow with some orange, the brighter one being the fresh root.
The one soaked in paprika turned a very pale pinky orange.
The egg shell blue (far left) was the result of the one soaked in the blueberries.
The surprise eggs were the ones soaked in the purple cabbage extract. The one on the top left was the no-vinegar one, and next to it was the boiled one where vinegar was added. Remember the liquid this one was soaked in was red! AND the mottled blue one below it went from purple to blue when it dried!
I was surprised. No matter. They are all beautiful and more importantly, safe for the little ones to handle.
Whatever your traditions are, enjoy your Easter weekend! Happy Spring!
Easter spells out beauty, the rare beauty of new life. -S.D. Gordon

I’m itching to start on the some Christmas stitching, I love these designs and just may have to start one later tonight!
Jane says hello, she agreed to pose for me while I tried out Jerry’s camera, mine is starting to have some serious problems which makes me sad, I really have loved my old camera.
PS – tomorrow I will be celebrating one of my favorite days!


After topping the FTSE 100 risers yesterday, Arm is the biggest faller at the moment on a spate of profit taking and news of director sales.
The chip designer is down 23p at 628p, not helped by news of four directors disposing of some of their holdings. Tudor Brown, president of the company, raised £1.3m by selling 200,000 shares at 650.2p while three other executives sold another £2.5m between them.
Meanwhile an opening fall on Wall Street following weaker than expected US retail sales has left the FTSE 100 nursing a 15.03 point loss at 6045.06. James Knightley at ING Bank said:
US retail sales for January have disappointed with the headline figure showing growth of 0.3% month on month versus a consensus forecast of 0.5% while December's growth figure was revised down a tenth of a percentage point to 0.5%.
The underlying growth story remains fairly good though given the recent stimulus from tax cuts and an extension of unemployment benefits. Consumer confidence remains on an upwards trend while rising equities will boost wealth effects so we are hopeful of a bounceback in February retail sales.
Meanwhile with oil still holding around $102 a barrel on worries about further tensions in the Middle East, Royal Dutch Shell B shares have added 19p to 2112.5p while BP is 4.25p better at 484.25p. Evolution Securities said:
Supply side threats to the Middle East are likely to provide continued support to the oil price in the near term with the next regime under threat that of Iran and unrest still in Yemen, Oman and Algeria. Indeed, we note comments from US Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, overnight praising the civil uprising in Iran – the US "very clearly and directly" supports the protestors. Iran is the second largest contributor to OPEC with daily production of 3.7m barrels of oil per day so disruptions here are likely to have a greater effect than in Egypt. High oil prices are of course good for the sector but the supply side threats are likely to be "temporary". Real support for the oil price is likely to be from the demand side and on this point news from China overnight is positive. Chinese oil imports in January were up 27% year on year (refiners raising production and addition to diesel inventories) and inflation came in lower than expected.

Baked Zucchini Chips
Baked chips are a good alternative to regular fried chips. Add a wholesome vegetable and all is good. With this recipe I used zucchini. Zucchini is a good source of potassium, vitamin C, folate, vitamin A, beta carotene, and lutein. Beta-carotene and lutein are carotenoids that give food it's bright color, and also act as an antioxidant.
Makes ~40 chips
1-2 large sized zucchini
3 Tbsp olive oil
2 Tbsp whole grain oat flour
1/3 cup parmesan cheese
2 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp salt and pepper
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F
Wash and cut zucchini into thick slices (1/2 inch)
Add olive oil to a small bowl with seasonings
In another bowl add dry ingredients - flour and parmesan cheese
Toss zucchini in olive oil
Than toss into flour and parmesan mix
On a flat baking sheet sprayed lightly with cooking spray, lay zucchini flat and spread out
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown
Allow to cool down
Serve with a side of tzatziki sauce and Enjoy! (see homemade tzatziki sauce recipe on blog)
Olive oil and seasonings
Coated with flour cheese mix
Golden brown baked zucchini
Make these extra crispy by leaving in the oven for another 5 minutes. Be careful not to overcook or burn.
Let me know if these tuned out any good!

The American 2nd Civil War Started over a Year ago and the Main Stream Media is trying to survive through absolute lies to the legal citizens. The press is corrupt, they don't have enough ink for their rag newspapers because citizens are armed with electrons moving at the speed of light. As the giant rotary printing presses spin off millions of newspapers,killing millions and millions of trees and using millions of gallons on cheap China imported ink the knowledge bases and fact based citizens goes on the internet to learn and also publish the truth before the New York Times is dry enough to bundle.
Yes, CNN sucks, CNN has sucked for years.. they're failing even using electrons and the internet as millions of Americans are better, faster and cheaper doing research, publishing instantly and millions read and learn daily.. even before the CNN radicals complete their makeup in the morning.
Look at the pictures of the so-called traveling press with Hillary Clinton...
Most are punk ass millennials
that don't know shxt.
ask stupid questions by rolling fruit down the isle of Hillary
Clinton's plane.. they don't care,free ride,free food and
the expense account to get fuxked up with the Elites.
The main stream media empires are all about money and survival and what's the best way.. bribe and help the criminals in national government and never tell the entire story..
Most media are whores..
Most media are press-titutes.
Most media are helping Clinton and trying to bury TRUMP.
Not so fast whores..
We've got your number.
As the Republican nominee has resorted to more extreme denunciations of the press in recent days, his supporters have followed suit. Chants of “CNN sucks” have become commonplace at Trump’s rallies this week and members of the traveling press were called “whores” and “press-titutes” as they filed out of a Thursday afternoon rally in West Palm Beach. Minutes before, Trump had accused reporters of participating in a vast globalist conspiracy against his campaign and American workers.

Giant Anthem Christmas tree arrivesPosted: Updated:
ANTHEM, Ariz. -- It's not even Halloween yet, but the first signs of Christmas are in the air! Tuesday morning, the giant Christmas tree arrived at the Outlets at Anthem.
It's the tallest fresh-cut Christmas tree in the nation. The white fir is 112-feet high, weighs 12 tons, and needs a crane and a crew of 14 to hoist it into place.
"It's just an amazing sight to see the tree lifted and put in place," says Sally Ann Martinez of the Outlets of Anthem.
To get an idea of the size of the tree, we compared it to:
-The Arizona State Capital building (90 feet)
-An official NBA Basketball court (94 feet)
-The tallest tree ever showcased in New York City's Rockefeller Center (90 feet)
-Splash Mountain at Disneyland in California (87 feet)
-The iconic Hollywood sign in California (55 feet)
The tree arrived after a four-day, 750-mile journey from northern California. Once decorated, the tree will reach 115 feet.
It will be topped by a handmade copper star. "We are the copper state," says Martinez. "So we had it commissioned for this special tallest tree in the nation."
This is the fourth consecutive year that the Anthem outlet shopping center will display the tree in its busy center court area during the holiday season.
Additionally, two unique handmade decorative wooden bowls from 2011's tallest tree in the nation will be on display and will be auctioned off during the holiday season. Bids will be accepted at OutletsAnthem.com and dollars raised will be donated in memory of Katie Wagner to We Care Anthem, a nonprofit charitable organization that helps seriously ill children and their families.

I grew up in Western Australia, the dry flatlands, with the Indian Ocean lapping green at its edge. I was an adult before I visited the far-off east coast. Australia is big in a way that is hard to explain. Even so, the reef was always a part of my vocabulary of Australian-ness. It’s always just ‘the reef’; ‘The Great Barrier Reef’ is a name for travel brochures and school projects. Its coral universe and flickering rainbow of fish have always been in my mind’s eye. Funny how the myths of your culture are embedded into you.
I moved east and north as I grew up. Still, it was only last year that I first went to the reef, and then just as an add-on at the end of another trip. By the time I got there, out on an inflatable from the flat tropical sands of Cape Tribulation, I hadn’t thought much about what it would be. I’ve travelled so far and so wide, and worn off some expectation along the way. And its been a while since I put my head down into the underwater.
I had my six year old daughter with me. Her first time snorkelling.
The boat takes about half an hour to reach the edge of the reef; or one of its limbs. It’s a sprawling empire of a thing, 344,400 square kilometres of coral, shell and island, jellyfish, dolphin and ray. Alive in myriad ways and forms. WWF explains it in numbers:
‘The reef is immensely diverse. It is home to more than 1,500 species of fish, 411 types of hard coral, one-third of the world’s soft corals, 134 species of sharks and rays, six of the world’s seven species of threatened marine turtles, and more than 30 species of marine mammals, including the vulnerable dugong…as many as 3,000 molluscs and thousands of different sponges, worms and crustaceans, 630 species of echinoderms (starfish and sea urchins) and 215 bird species, of which 22 are seabirds.’
Looking back toward the shore from the boat, the steep jungled mountains of the Cape are visible. Wildlands. Land of the kuku yulanji people.
The names we use to speak of this country amuse and sadden me together. Everything is a symbol of the fear and difficulty the clumsy brave white settlers brought with them. I don’t know what the Kuku yulanji called this area but I’m pretty sure they didn’t see the cape as a tribulation, nor a mount of sorrow nor a weary bay. Tangled, dense, hot, difficult, storied incredible country. You need deep and old knowing to make this your camping ground.
Where the sea meets the sand it is warm and still, but out on the reef it is clearer and colder. The boat stops near a tiny sand island where scattered seabirds eye us suspiciously. I jump in awkwardly off the boat in flippers and coax my daughter in behind me, my partner behind her. Once we get her to breathe through the snorkel and make sure she is happy on her flotation noodle, we put our masks on and heads down, and flipper out of the deeper water to the coral bank.
It is a wordless world in there. It is a hearing world; the noise of my daughter’s excited squeals through her snorkel, the clicks and cracks of coral language and the chomping of the fish at the coral. It is a seeing world. An eye-widening otherworld. An infinity of forms and colours. Trees and platforms and mushrooms and forests and clouds of rainbow coral. Century-old giant clams with fleshy neon blue lips. Big fish little fish plain fish glow fish shy fish fast fish stripe fish sparkle fish all fish. A miracle of fish and coral. A quiet reef shark. A fairyland sponge garden. A humanless universe of such varied wonder it is hard to take in.
I hope you get to see it. To float and marvel and want to sing and cry. To smile with your snorkel in and watch your daughter’s lovely amazement. To watch for a passing turtle. To see a whale as it gracefully swims south, regent.
You might not, though. Like so many wonders, it is dying. That’s why I wanted to tell you this story.
Like all complex ecosystems the many interrelated parts of the reef rely on each other. The coral is host to tiny marine algae (zooxanthallae) that live inside corals’ tissue and produce food for the coral. They are in trouble. The government explains:
‘Coral bleaching occurs when the relationship between the coral host and zooxanthallae, which give coral much of their colour, breaks down. Without the zooxanthallae, the tissue of the coral animal appears transparent and the coral’s bright white skeleton is revealed.
Corals begin to starve once they bleach. While some corals are able to feed themselves, most corals struggle to survive without their zooxanthallae.’
You should go and read about coral. A whole chapter of intricacy. Science as poetry.
The threats from our humanness are many. Between global warming causing devastating tropical cyclones and increasing water temperatures (which upset the relationship between the coral and zooxanthallae), between agricultural run-off and industrialisation, between all the havocs we can wreak ( you know them, all too well…) the future of the reef looks grim.
I read this the other night, and that is why I am telling you this story:
‘Half the Great Barrier Reef’s coral has disappeared in the past 27 years and less than a quarter could be left within a decade unless action is taken, a landmark study has found.’
‘On the eve of the World Heritage Committee meeting in Cambodia, the report shows there has been no improvement in managing the impacts of ports and port development along the Great Barrier Reef coast.
The World Heritage Committee has expressed ‘extreme concern’ about the impacts of rapid industrialisation on the world’s largest coral reef. It has given the Australian and Queensland governments until 2014 to implement key recommendations or face having the reef placed on the ‘World Heritage in Danger’ list.’
And then: what, I wonder? How many almost-gone splendours already make up that list?
My daughter has seen the reef but her daughter may not. You may not. And so I wanted to tell you the story of its wonder. It’s vast unknowable sea dreaming. Is many-faceted symbiotic song. I wanted to take a long breath and smile to think of it there, its reefness. To honour it.
Vale the reef.

Describing his work as a journalist on the alt-right beat in 2017, Joseph Bernstein noted that he had “a high personal tolerance for shit.” It’s a description Hayley Garrigus thinks could also apply to her approach to nonfiction filmmaking, she says, “mixed in with pure curiosity for people, this naiveté I approach these subjects with. I’m going to come at you as if I don’t know you at all, without any preconceived notions.” You Can’t Kill Meme, her first feature, is bookended by the unnerving image of an CG-animated Pepe the Frog cradled like a baby in a man’s arms before slowly turning his head. Meme branches out from 4Chan’s infamous r/pol board to interview subjects who include online meme warriors on the left and right, a self-described “lightworker” who hosts workshops at her home and R. Kirk Packwood, whose 2004 book, Memetic Magic: Manipulation of the Root Social Matrix and the Fabric of Reality, codified how memes might be used for real-world gain. Diving into unsettling conversations with a variety of (often disturbed or disturbing) people, Meme is anchored by Garrigus’s coolly delivered narration, which diagnoses and teases out the implications of her footage. A major inspiration, she notes, is Adam Curtis, “the master of overintellectualizing and overanalyzing.”
Growing up in Los Angeles, Garrigus received “12 years’ worth of Catholic education, which I think plays into a lot of the themes that I look for in my work—these questions I’m continuing to ask about beliefs and blind faith. I’m an only child. I spent a lot of time growing up, and I’m a true millennial: computer in my room at 12, going in these pretty fucked-up worlds by myself without much reference.” At 16, she attended a Harvard summer film program taught by Robb Moss, which exposed her to Tarnation, another major inspiration. After attending Bard, where her mentors included Peggy Ahwesh, Garrigus moved to Los Angeles and worked as a junior story editor on TLC reality show My Giant Life. A “nebulous” plan to move to Las Vegas and search for subjects provided Meme’s start, its production funded by Garrigus’s job savings, a bank loan and incremental loans from her parents. After 10 months of solo shooting in Las Vegas, Garrigus moved to New York and began editing. She is in the final stages of planning distribution of the picture-locked results for the end of the year.
Making Meme, Garrigus says, “taught me more about what not to do and how not to do it than anything else, which I’m really grateful for at this point.” For her next feature, $tar Ca$h, which looks into the world of financial astrology, she’s planning her “first foray into trying to make a film from beginning to end in a more professionalized way.” The subjects this time (some interviews were shot pre-pandemic) “are very wealthy, successful people using astrology to game the stock market. They will use anything—it’s this belief that they have this power over the market that no one else has.”
Meanwhile, to blow off steam from the stress of “having to release a pretty fucked-up, potentially polarizing film, on one hand, and having to get into this professionalized world of making a doc from scratch with very serious people,” Garrigus has been making a series of less structured, more “silly and fun” short films she’s shared on her Vimeo page.

Fyre Competition – the disastrous luxurious celebration that left a whole bunch stranded within the Bahamas – is getting a second run, with tickets now on sale for $499 (round £391).
The organiser of the occasion – Billy McFarland – went to jail within the US for fraud following the botched music occasion which was imagined to happen on the Caribbean island of Exuma over two weekends in April and Might 2017.
The failed 2017 occasion was billed as “an immersive music pageant on a distant and personal island” with “the perfect in meals, artwork, music and journey” and it claimed to be “on the boundaries of the unimaginable”.
It was co-organised by rapper Ja Rule, who apologised on the time, however insisted it was not his fault, and promoted by influencers together with Kendall Jenner and Bella Hadid.
Partygoers paid as much as $12,000 (£9,200) a head and had been promised opulent lodging and deluxe meals.
Nonetheless, once they arrived, friends had been greeted with chaos – a rain-sodden campsite, emergency tents, piles of soggy mattresses and unhappy trying cheese and salad sandwiches in a takeaway container for dinner.
Visitors branded it “a post-apocalyptic nightmare” and in contrast the occasion to the Starvation Video games.
The entire sorry debacle was documented within the 2019 movie FYRE: The Biggest Celebration That By no means Occurred.
The occasion had greater than $26m (£20m) in losses after it was cancelled attributable to insufficient lodging, meals and water.
Nonetheless, McFarland, who was launched from jail final 12 months, says he is rebooting Fyre Competition.
In a video shared on social media, the 31-year-old – who seems to be wearing a white spa dressing robe – stated he devised the plan for a redo throughout a stint in solitary confinement.
Whereas particulars on the precise organisation of the occasion had been scarce, he stated that after contemplating holding the pageant within the Center East or South America, he’d determined to carry it “again to the Caribbean”.
He informed his 22.6k Instagram followers: “We’re concentrating on Fyre Competition 2 for the top of subsequent 12 months.
“It has been absolutely the wildest journey to get right here and it actually all began throughout the seven-month stint in solitary confinement.
“I wrote out this 50-page plan of how it could take this total curiosity and demand in Fyre, and the way it could take my skill to carry individuals from all over the world collectively to make the unimaginable occur, how I might discover the perfect companions on this planet to permit me to be me whereas executing Fyre’s imaginative and prescient to the very best stage.”
He added: “Within the meantime, we’ll be doing pop-ups and occasions internationally. Guys, that is your probability to get in. That is the whole lot I have been working in the direction of. Let’s f***ing go.”
The primary 100 pre-sale tickets priced at $499 bought out within the first day of sale in accordance with the web site. Future tickets, that are but to be launched, will value between $799 (about £626) and $7,999 (roughly £6,267) in accordance with the pricelist.
In a written assertion on his Instagram web page following the sale of the primary batch of tickets, McFarland stated he can be working with “the perfect logistical and infrastructure companions,” including, “We stay up for shocking the world alongside our companions as we construct Fyre and Fyre Competition II into the island journey of a lifetime”.
A disclaimer on the web site says: “FII date is topic to vary. Pre-events and pop-ups to be introduced, however FYRE will host a minimal of 4 occasions previous to FFII.”
McFarland was sentenced to 6 years in jail in October 2018 by a federal courtroom in Manhattan. Decide Naomi Reice Buchwald known as him a “serial fraudster”, AP reported on the time.
In March 2022, he was launched early – with greater than two years of his sentence left – being transferred to a midway home from a low-security federal jail in Michigan, NBC Information reported.
McFarland has already introduced plans to make a Broadway musical about Fyre Competition.

Cask, run by four West Cork men, won the top honour in this year's Bar of the Year Awards – a win that made it two in a row for the immensely popular watering hole
CASK, run by four West Cork men, won the top honour in this year’s Bar of the Year Awards – a win that made it two in a row for the immensely popular watering hole.
It’s also the third consecutive win as Cocktail Bar of the Year, but a well-deserved first Bar Manager win for Andy Ferreira.
Commenting on the vibrancy of the Irish hospitality industry at the moment, Andy said: ‘We’re delighted to be recognised within the industry and to fly the flag for Cork.’
He said the number one priority at Cask, which is on MacCurtain St on the city’s northside, is consistency. ‘We want each drink we serve to be the best drink that customer has ever had.’
It’s a tall order – or maybe a short, depending on your tastes – but it is something that the establishment delivers on time and time again.
Andy said Cask has just produced its tenth cocktail menu. ‘We really put our heart and soul into the development of each menu, constantly pushing ourselves, as a creative team, to make drinks that are innovative, exciting, and taste amazing.
‘We are incredibly passionate about what we do and winning these awards is reward for a lot of hard work.’

We have been hearing and seeing a lot of stories in the news in recent months relating to the dangers of distracted driving. It seems that every week a new study is released that attempts to quantify these dangers in an attempt to bring about awareness so that people will begin to focus more on the roads and perhaps make them safer overall. Clearly, not paying attention to traffic is dangerous and most likely negligent if someone who is not paying attention causes an accident, but as it turns out motorists are not the only ones who may need to reexamine their habits when they’re on the move.
According to the results of a recent study, the number of pedestrians who have been badly injured in accidents while they were talking on their cell phones has shot upward in recent years. This could be especially important information in a city like Las Vegas where a number of people are doing just that as they move around on The Strip or downtown at any given time. It should also not come as much of a surprise considering the prevalence of cell phones in our society.
The study was done by researchers at the Ohio State University, and a link to the full text of the work can be found here. Specifically, the researchers looked at data concerning emergency room visits by people who were injured while walking and talking on their cell phones. The data, drawn from across the United States, is as follows:
- 2005 – 256
- 2006 – 396
- 2007 – 597
- 2008 – 1,055
- 2009 – 1,113
- 2010 – 1,506
While these raw numbers are far from enormous, the trend is what is troubling, as more than five times the number of people who were injured in this manner in 2005 suffered the same type of harm in 2010. These numbers also come at a time when pedestrian injuries overall have come way down. 97,000 people in the United States were treated in emergency rooms after being injured as pedestrians in 2004, and that number dropped to approximately 41,000 in 2010. Therefore, the roads in general appear to be getting safer for walkers, but distracted walkers are encountering increasing danger.
We were taught from the time we were children that we needed to look both ways before crossing the street. While this may seem utterly elementary at this point to many people, apparently it’s a lesson that needs to be reinforced. While pedestrians are clearly at an extreme disadvantage when it comes to collisions with vehicles, people on foot can and do cause injuries to motorists and perhaps to other pedestrians when crashes occur because drivers attempt evasive maneuvers that still lead to negative results.
If you are one of the many people who tends to walk and talk, you may want to reexamine that habit and perhaps change the way you do things. If you or someone you love has been injured in a crash that was not your fault, contact the Las Vegas accident lawyers at Bernstein & Poisson today to schedule a free initial consultation.
