For customers in Maryland and neighboring areas, the system worked.
The most widespread blackout in the nation's history, which darkened parts of the Northeast and Midwest as well as Canada last evening, didn't spread much farther south thanks to circuit breakers in the multi-state power grid that carries electricity to consumers between New Jersey and Virginia.
The exact cause of the blackout remained unknown last night, although it was believed to have been triggered by a "massive disturbance" in northern New York or Ottawa, according to the head of PJM Interconnection. The PJM grid helps balance the flow of electricity in an area that includes Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia and Washington, D.C.
"This is the biggest thing since the '60s, a very big outage," stretching as far west as Cleveland, around the Great Lakes, said Phillip G. Harris, president and chief executive of PJM Interconnection, based outside Philadelphia. North America's oldest and largest power grid, begun in 1927, is named for three of the original members: Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Maryland.
Circuit breakers in the grid helped isolate the affected area, he said. Power was out temporarily in northern New Jersey and parts of Pennsylvania, but the system stabilized after dropping to 56,000 megawatts from 61,000 megawatts, Harris said.
Local utility companies serving Maryland said their customers experienced no power failures. Demand for power was high in Baltimore as the temperature reached 90 degrees, but never reached peak level, officials said.
"We continued to monitor the situation as the minutes and hours wore on, and our system remained stable," said Baltimore Gas & Electric Co. spokesman Robert L. Gould.
Similarly, at Allegheny Power Inc., which serves Western Maryland, no customers lost power, said Allen Staggers, a spokesman for the Hagerstown-based utility company, which serves 1.4 million customers in five states. "The problem seemed to be far enough away from our system that we didn't see any direct effect on customers. We were on alert, but we didn't have to do anything."
Robert A. Dobkin, a spokesman for Washington-based Potomac Electric Power Co., said demand reached a high of 6,042 megawatts yesterday, well below the record demand of 6,421 megawatts on July 29, 2002. Pepco, along with its Wilmington, Del.-based sister company, Conectiv, provides electricity for 1.8 million customers in Maryland, New Jersey, Delaware, the Virginia's Eastern Shore and Washington, D.C.
When a swath from New York to Toronto to Cleveland lost power after 4 p.m. yesterday, "there were some frequency changes gyrating on the lines, and the operators noticed that, but it had no noticeable effect," Dobkin said.
The University of Maryland's College Park campus lost power for about 20 minutes. The university, a customer of Pepco, uses its own generators to supply about half its power, but the generators automatically shut down because of disruptions on the power grid, Dobkin said.

With most of the precinct-by-precinct count finished, the conservative candidate is now ahead by a mere 0.39%, according to La Jornada. Lopez Obrador (a.k.a. AMLO) held a press conference this morning to say he will contest the count before the Federal Electoral Tribunal, and has called for a mass meeting in Mexico City this Saturday.
As in the past two American elections, the conservative “winner” and various media are calling for unity and worrying about how the lack of finality will damage Mexico’s “young” democracy. There is a persistent implication in the American press that the PRD’s challenge of the election is part of the long political hegemony of the PRI (i.e., the now discredited policies of the past) and the PAN’s posture of defending the preliminary results signifies that it is the forward-looking defender of democracy. Unfortunately, this is closer to the PAN’s campaign rhetoric than it is to reality. The Associated Press is helping all of this along with its “exclusive” interview with Calderon, which conveniently makes him sound presidential (he offered AMLO a place in his cabinet, called for calm, etc.).
In the American case we learned that the challenge of winning a closely contested election has less to do with counting the votes and more to do with staking out an unassailable public position of victory. Once you have achieved the latter, any effort to achieve the former plays as sour grapes or worse. But this isn’t Florida or Ohio. So we shouldn’t expect the outcome to be the same. Hold on for a bumpy ride, and our old democracy might learn a thing or two.
Update: Calderon’s lead increased to 0.53% according to El Universal, which by the way loads more quickly and consistently than La Jornada. The LA Times is running a really good example of what I am complaining about in this post–treating the election as a done deal. But they also have a photo gallery with one image of AMLO supporters showing ballots allegedly found in a dump (see my previous post).

Former Sony Employee: Beyonce Indeed Lies About Her Songwriting!
Oct 15 | by Natasha
This debate seems to happen often about whether or not Beyonce actually writes her songs as she claims. All while listing herself under writing credits for those songs. Every now and then a writer will come out the woodwork to say they wrote the song and Bey and her camp didn't. These songwriters (and others) say B's camp either pay to have Beyonce's name replace theirs, or the Knowles camp just replaces it on their own. Then drama would ensue in the gossip mill. I received an interesting letter from a former Sony (Beyonce is part of Sony Entertainment) employee. This person has been corresponding with YBF and many other sites for years on official artist and music news directly from the company. But now that said employee has been recently fired, they want to confirm that the rumors are true about Beyonce's songwriting. Read the rest for the letter...

Garden may be the training and skill of developing and cultivating plants as part of horticulture, in connection to landscaping architecture. Elaborate plant life in many cases are developed simply for his or her leaves, fresh flowers, or place overall look other helpful plants and flowers, like herbs, are produced due to their medicinal figures, watering ease, or mixtures of either, in horticultural back gardens. The cultivation of a back garden will become an act of production, considering the fact that garden evolves a feeling of looks from the gardener. Gardening is known as a form of art shape since it involves ability, attention to details, a dedication to serious amounts of space, and also a particular degree of inventiveness.
If you liked this article and also you would like to acquire more info with regards to www.promowares.com nicely visit the webpage.
One of the greatest examples of a bit of artwork – if not the ideal – in growing plants are a liquid backyard, and that is a blend of liquid and place existence that enchanting vistas and reveals the splendor and beauty of an all natural environment. Water garden produces together with each other functional attractiveness, aquatic plants, and natural material buildings. H2o plantings might be designed by using stone buildings to keep up a normal water water fountain and enable seafood and wildlife to rest after its seas, or they might be planted with little pond-like buildings, resembling pebbles, over water.
Yet another wonderful illustration showing plantings for gardens is deciduous plants. Some examples are the two maple shrubs, which grow very well in the wintertime, and birch shrubs, which happen to have a solid possibility to blossom throughout the summer time. Some kinds do particularly properly when it comes to fresh fruit, however these trees and shrubs are picked largely with regard to their coloration and texture and consistency, rather then for their power to have fresh fruits. In combination with shrub plants and flowers, you can also get shrub plantings that happen to be making use of to establish a yard location, with water fountains as well as other functions adjoining them, as well as lesser plants and flowers inserted upon them.
Harvesting, conversely, can be a perform of planting and growing crops in association with growing pets, like cattle, sheep, flock and pigs and many others. These agricultural plantings are most frequently used in developing in your area, rather than for export. Even so, in many present day home gardens the arrangement is not a whole lot co-active since it is mixing the 2 main routines together with each other. The twin reason for gardening farming is often to build foods that can be taken every single day, as well as to supply animal goods that could be sold off and away to raise income for community use.
One of many variations between forest garden and farming is definitely the major pay attention to appearances. Jungles are actually developed in a really naturalistic way, with plants and flowers being expanded to make away particular functional components, as an alternative to to provide maintainable food items providers, as you may reckon out of the titles of these two strategies. Although the organic and natural element of growing plants might seem at first glance to always be a lot more captivating of these two strategies, the ecological facets of it are certainly not attained through the use of pesticide sprays and herbicides that will be commonly used in modern farming routines. Because of this several of the Eco-helpful advantages of Woodlands garden, like the ability to create attractive countryside and dwelling conditions, may not be thoroughly realised.
Forests landscaping is visible as being an art form, the spot that the gardener will in most cases aim to develop as all natural a establishing as you possibly can by thoroughly deciding on roses and plants and flowers. This kind of garden is not influenced by the farming of a single thing, therefore, enabling the garden enthusiast a freer hand in regards to preparing the space and putting components to increase its cosmetic characteristics. Appearance are needed to your eco-helpful garden enthusiast, who aims to employ each element of the backyard garden living space and make up a life, respiratory thing of beauty. The main target of a accurate skill garden enthusiast, having said that, is always to sustain existence, which is the reason a number of the plants and flowers included in horticultural perform may not be intended for meals but instead for other purposes including pollinating roses or setting up a habitat for wild animals.
The other most important distinction between an metropolitan gardener and also a forest gardener could be the function of technique. Urban garden relies primarily on compacting or stacking home gardens in household places, frequently in flats and residences, utilizing unnatural wall surfaces and paths to independent several locations. This strategy is rather thriving in cities where by space reaches a premium and general public transportation is restricted. Woodland growing plants, on the other hand, is performed inside the normal setting and depends on constructing long term habitats for a variety of creatures, like deer and wildlife, working with organic implies and structures like fencing. In both circumstances, looks enjoy a huge role.
Harvesting is often a issue that some people are new to, even those who look at on their own to be passionate home gardeners. Harvesting is defined as practicing growing and cultivating plants and flowers in an effort to give food to man ingestion or increase the need for the ground thru their creation. Harvesting continues to be carried out in many ways all the way through history, and the other way in specific has become to develop landscapes that were both used for agricultural, therapeutic or decorative functions. This system of landscaping is, naturally, not while not its experts, the way it depletes the ground of shrub kinds which may only be within unique areas. Nonetheless, they have provided the basis for a lot of modern civilization and it has aided to make agriculture a rewarding business. Farming also encourages area progression from the charge of shrub gross sales and circulation.

Contributed by: NAPSA
(NAPSA) - According to a recent USDA study conducted to measure phytochemical components of nuts, fruits and vegetables, a significant amount of the antioxidant lutein has been found in pistachios.
It has recently been found that lutein in the body is highly concentrated in the retina and lens of the eye.
Consequently, a number of studies have been released showing the relationship between higher lutein intake and a lower incidence of eye diseases such as age-related macular degeneration and cataracts. Age-related macular degeneration is a breakdown of the central portion of the retina and is the principal cause of blindness among people age 65 and older.
Cataracts are prevalent in 40 percent of American adults over the age of 75.
While it is still too early to set dietary recommendations for lutein, it has been estimated that an intake of 6 mg per day may be protective. Currently, lutein intake among Americans is more in the range of 1 to 2 mg per day, likely due to a low consumption of dark green leafy vegetables.
"Pistachios have always been a healthy snack choice for Americans and now lutein is just another good reason to make sure that we all grab a handful each day," said Dr. McMahon. "This lutein-rich Pis-tachio Pasta Salad Florentine recipe combines delicious pistachios with other high lutein ingredients such as spinach and peas to provide about 3 mg of lutein in just one serving."
Drop pasta into boiling water; return to boil. Cook 10 to 15 minutes or until tender. Drain. Toss pasta, spinach, tomatoes, peas, pistachios and dressing in large bowl.
Combine 2 tablespoons honey, 21/2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar, 1 egg white, 11/2 teaspoons dried oregano (crumbled) and 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder.

Got off work early and decided to spend some time in the city to soak up all the Christmas vibes. It was a beautiful afternoon in San Francisco because it wasn’t too cold and the fog hadn’t rolled in yet. Check out my photos below to see how I spent the afternoon.
This weekend I took a trip to Calistoga, CA which is in the heart of the Napa Valley. It was my first time visiting and I definitely will be back again soon! Calistoga is home to some huge wineries if that’s your thing, but I much prefer the small family-style wineries this town has to offer. On my trip I visited Chateau Montelena Winery and Castello di Amorosa Winery. Both of these wineries were huge but had beautiful grounds. However they are more for the sights than the wine. I also visited Vincent Arroyo Winery and Tedeschi Family Winery which were both amazing. Vincent Arroyo had amazing reds and Tedeschi had wonderful whites as well as some red I enjoyed. Both wineries had really friendly and knowledgeable staff and I’m happy to say that I’m now a wine club member at both! Below you’ll find some photos from my trip.

The gourmet deli and grocer has been in the same location for over 80 years, selling high-quality cheese, meats, and baked goods - but they’re famous for their smoked fish. We like the nova breakfast sandwich, but you also can’t go wrong with the classic pastrami sandwich or any of the soups. Eat a bagel with smoked fish and some chocolate babka while you read the morning paper, and you will feel like you’ve lived in this city for way more than three years.

Herbal Max Gun Power: Boost Your Sexual Stamina Naturally
If you’re looking for a natural way to enhance your sexual stamina and performance, Herbal Max Gun Power could be the solution you’ve been searching for. This herbal supplement is designed to improve male sexual function and vitality without the use of synthetic chemicals. Let’s take a closer look at what Herbal Max Gun Power is all about.
Ingredients and How They Work
Herbal Max Gun Power is formulated with a powerful blend of all-natural ingredients that have been used for centuries to promote sexual health and performance. These ingredients include:
- Tribulus Terrestris – This herb is known for its ability to increase testosterone levels, which can lead to improved sexual desire and performance.
- Maca – Maca root has been used for centuries as an aphrodisiac and to enhance fertility.
- Ginseng – Ginseng is believed to boost energy levels, improve sexual function, and reduce stress.
- L-Arginine – This amino acid helps increase blood flow to the genital area, leading to firmer erections and improved sexual performance.
These powerful ingredients work together to improve blood flow, increase testosterone levels, and enhance sexual desire, resulting in improved stamina and performance.
Dosage and Instructions for Use
To experience the full benefits of Herbal Max Gun Power, it’s important to follow the recommended dosage and instructions for use. The usual dosage is 2 capsules per day, taken with water. It’s best to take the capsules on an empty stomach, preferably in the morning or before your sexual activity. The effects may vary from person to person, so it’s recommended to start with a lower dosage and gradually increase if needed.
Potential Side Effects and Precautions
While Herbal Max Gun Power is generally safe for most men, it’s important to be aware of potential side effects and take certain precautions. Some users may experience mild side effects such as headache, nausea, or indigestion. It’s advisable to discontinue use if these side effects persist or worsen. It’s also recommended to consult with a healthcare professional if you have underlying health conditions or are taking any medications, as herbal supplements may interact with certain medications.
It’s important to note that individual results may vary, and it’s always best to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new supplement or treatment.
Exploring the Concept of Herbal Medicine as a Drug
Herbal medicine, also known as herbalism or phytotherapy, is the practice of using plants and plant extracts for medicinal purposes. It has a long history and is rooted in various cultures around the world. The use of herbal remedies dates back thousands of years, with evidence of its use in ancient civilizations such as Egypt, China, and India.
Herbal medicine differs from traditional pharmaceutical drugs in several ways. Unlike pharmaceutical drugs, which are often synthesized in a laboratory, herbal remedies are derived from natural sources and contain active compounds found in plants. These compounds are believed to have therapeutic effects on the body.
One of the key considerations when evaluating any drug is its efficacy and safety. While scientific studies on herbal remedies have yielded mixed results, there is evidence to support the effectiveness of certain herbal medicines for specific health conditions. For example, St. John’s Wort has been found to be effective in treating mild to moderate depression, and Ginkgo Biloba has shown potential in improving cognitive function and memory.
However, it is important to note that the efficacy of herbal medicine can vary depending on factors such as the quality of the plant material used, the preparation method, and individual differences in response. Additionally, unlike pharmaceutical drugs, which undergo rigorous testing and regulation before being approved for use, herbal remedies are not subject to the same level of scrutiny.
This lack of regulation can pose potential safety risks, as herbal medicines can interact with other medications and have side effects. It is crucial to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any herbal remedy to ensure it is safe and appropriate for your specific situation.

Despite these considerations, the demand for herbal medicine, including products like Herbal Max Gun Power, continues to rise. People are increasingly seeking alternative and more natural approaches to healthcare, as well as more affordable options. Herbal remedies can often be purchased at a lower cost compared to traditional pharmaceutical drugs, making them accessible to a wider range of individuals.
Moreover, personal experiences and positive testimonials from satisfied customers play a significant role in the popularity of herbal medicine. Word-of-mouth recommendations and online reviews can sway people’s decision to try herbal remedies, especially when they hear about others’ improvements in their health.
The High Demand for Herbal Max Gun Power
In recent years, there has been a significant rise in the popularity and demand for herbal remedies like Herbal Max Gun Power. People are increasingly turning to these natural alternatives as they seek affordable and effective solutions for their health conditions.
Herbal Max Gun Power offers a range of potential benefits for specific health conditions. Its carefully selected ingredients work synergistically to support various aspects of sexual health and performance. For individuals experiencing issues such as erectile dysfunction or low libido, Herbal Max Gun Power may provide a natural solution.
One of the main reasons for the high demand for Herbal Max Gun Power is the growing recognition and appreciation of the benefits of herbal medicine.

Furthermore, the use of herbal medicine aligns with the desire for a more holistic approach to health. Many individuals prefer a natural solution that supports their overall well-being instead of merely addressing specific symptoms. Herbal remedies like Herbal Max Gun Power may offer this holistic approach, providing not only symptom relief but also overall improvement in sexual health and vitality.
Additionally, the rising popularity of herbal remedies can be attributed to positive user reviews and testimonials. Many customers have reported significant improvements in their sexual health and performance after using Herbal Max Gun Power. These testimonials create a sense of trust and confidence, leading to increased demand for the product.

It is important to note that while Herbal Max Gun Power has gained popularity and positive reviews, it is essential to consider the efficacy and safety of the product. Scientific studies and clinical trials are crucial in supporting the claims made about the product and its effectiveness. Furthermore, potential interactions with other medications should be taken into account to ensure safety and avoid adverse reactions.
The regulatory oversight and quality control of herbal remedies like Herbal Max Gun Power are also important considerations. Customers should feel confident that the product they are purchasing is safe, effective, and of high quality. It is crucial to choose reputable sources and manufacturers when purchasing herbal products online.
In conclusion, the high demand for Herbal Max Gun Power can be attributed to several factors, including the rising popularity of herbal remedies, the affordable alternative it offers to traditional pharmaceuticals, and the potential benefits it provides for specific health conditions. User reviews and testimonials play a significant role in promoting the product, and scientific studies and regulatory oversight ensure its efficacy and safety.

Examining the Efficacy and Safety of Herbal Max Gun Power
Scientific Studies and Clinical Trials
Scientific studies and clinical trials play a crucial role in determining the efficacy and safety of herbal remedies like Herbal Max Gun Power. While there may not be specific studies conducted on this particular product, it’s important to examine the research on the individual ingredients to understand their potential effects.
One of the key ingredients in Herbal Max Gun Power is Tribulus Terrestris, a plant native to warm climates. According to a study published in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology, Tribulus Terrestris extract has shown potential in enhancing sexual performance and increasing testosterone levels in males.
Another ingredient, Panax Ginseng, has been extensively studied for its adaptogenic properties and potential benefits for sexual health. Research published in the Journal of Urology suggests that Panax Ginseng can improve erectile function and overall sexual satisfaction.
While individual studies on the ingredients in Herbal Max Gun Power are promising, it’s important to note that more comprehensive research is needed to fully understand the efficacy and safety of the product as a whole.
Potential Interactions with Other Medications
When considering the use of any herbal remedy, including Herbal Max Gun Power, it’s crucial to be aware of potential interactions with other medications you may be taking. Some herbs can interact with prescription medications, over-the-counter drugs, or other herbal remedies, leading to unwanted side effects or reduced effectiveness.
For example, Panax Ginseng, one of the ingredients in Herbal Max Gun Power, may interact with certain medications such as anticoagulants (blood thinners) and antiplatelet drugs. Combining Panax Ginseng with these medications could increase the risk of bleeding or bruising.
It’s important to consult with a healthcare professional or pharmacist before starting any herbal remedy, especially if you are taking medications for other health conditions. They can provide personalized advice based on your specific medical history and medications to ensure compatibility and reduce the risk of potential interactions.
Discussion on Regulatory Oversight and Quality Control
When it comes to herbal remedies, there is often a lack of consistent regulation and quality control compared to traditional pharmaceutical drugs. The regulatory oversight for herbal products varies from country to country, and standards may not be as stringent as those for prescription medications.
It’s important to purchase herbal remedies from reputable sources to ensure quality and safety. Look for products that have undergone third-party testing, adhere to Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), and display certifications from recognized organizations.
Additionally, it is important to be cautious of fraudulent products that claim to be herbal remedies but may contain hidden pharmaceutical ingredients. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and other regulatory bodies around the world regularly issue warnings about such products.
Always do thorough research and read reviews from reputable sources before purchasing any herbal product, including Herbal Max Gun Power.
Can herbs be used as drugs?
Herbs have been used for centuries in traditional medicine as a natural remedy for various health conditions. The use of herbs as drugs is a concept that has gained increased attention in recent years.
Herbal medicine, also known as herbalism, is the use of plant extracts and herbs to treat diseases and promote overall health. This practice dates back thousands of years and has been used in different cultures around the world. Herbal remedies are typically made from parts of plants such as leaves, roots, seeds, and flowers.
Compared to traditional pharmaceutical drugs, herbal medicine often takes a holistic approach by treating the whole person rather than just targeting specific symptoms. Herbal remedies are believed to work by supporting the body’s natural healing processes and restoring balance. They can be used for a wide range of health conditions, including digestive issues, respiratory problems, infections, and skin conditions.
When it comes to efficacy and safety, there is a wide range of opinions and research findings. Some studies have shown positive results for the use of herbs in treating certain conditions, while others have shown no significant effects. It is important to note that the efficacy of herbal remedies can vary depending on the individual and the specific condition being treated.
Safety considerations also play an important role in the use of herbal medicine as drugs. While herbs are generally considered safe when used correctly and in appropriate doses, there can be potential side effects and interactions with other medications. It is crucial to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any herbal treatment to ensure it is safe and appropriate for your specific situation.
Regulatory oversight and quality control are important factors to consider when using herbs as drugs. Unlike pharmaceutical drugs, herbal products are not subject to strict regulations and testing. This can lead to inconsistencies in product quality and potency. It is important to choose reputable brands and look for standardized herbal extracts to ensure the highest level of quality and safety.
Overall, while herbs can be used as drugs, it is important to approach their use with caution and under the guidance of a healthcare professional. Integrating herbal medicine into healthcare practices can provide alternative treatment options and promote holistic health. However, it is essential to weigh the potential benefits against the limitations and consider individual factors before making any decisions about using herbs as drugs.

From a Prisoner
Dear Socialist Viewpoint,
My case is but one among many that again shows the wrongfulness of our country’s inhumane justice system.
For the last nineteen years I have been in prison for a crime I didn’t commit. Having no trust in the justice system, I refused to put my life in the hands of a court appointed lawyer and represented myself as my own lawyer, which resulted in my actually winning a mistrial.
The majority of the jury members said they didn’t believe I had committed the murder of a neighborhood drug dealer.
The assistant District Attorney who had failed to convict me, stated in deep anger in the Philadelphia Inquirer, “We can’t wait to get a different jury.”
This statement meant a lot more than what the assistant DA said on the surface. It was no coincidence an ex-assistant District Attorney was sitting on my new jury during my retrial. Not only did she sit on the jury, she
mysteriously became the foreman of the jury!
Further, not only was she a friend of the prosecutor who had failed to convict me in her first trial, she was also a friend of the co-prosecutor of the second trial who was hand picked by the prosecutor of my first trial, and who co-prosecuted the case from behind the scenes.
Sixteen years later the man who committed the murder came forward with an affidavit stating it was he who killed the drug dealer and not me. Still the Philadelphia court system is trying to keep this dirty secret under the rug.
I need all the help and support I can get from the people. I’m seeking true lawyers, investigators, funds, friends, letters, information, or just to communicate with people who will reach out to a prisoner of injustice.

The Man Without a Country
In the 1960s the U.S. government, using the Smith Act, tried to deport Joe Johnson, a U.S.-born socialist and member of the Minneapolis/St. Paul (Twin Cities) branch of the Socialist Workers Party. His “crime” was union activity in Canada. Under the Smith Act, anyone who took “political action in a foreign country” would be declared “stateless” and deported. A national defense campaign was undertaken and won by the Socialist Workers Party. Here is the story as told by Joe Johnson in a letter to Socialist Viewpoint.
A member of the Twin Cities branch came up with the title, They Have Declared Me a Man Without a Country for my defense pamphlet. It was a good title. At the time, the Smith Act had an anti-communist section in it that deported anyone who took political action in a foreign nation. Under this provision, those accused had to deport themselves, and were declared “stateless” and held in prison until they did. I was considered to have taken political action by being the head of the Political Action Committee of the Steel Workers of Ontario, Canada and for having voted for the Steel Workers to join with the Canadian Communist Party to form a Canadian Labor Party.
The Socialist Workers Party (SWP), under the leadership of the Twin Cities branch fought this. The government was not able to prove anything and, eventually, that section of the Smith Act was declared unconstitutional.
One of the legal problems (among many) that the government had was that I was native born, as was my mother and father. And, I had already served two-plus years in prison as a citizen of the United States for a “crime” only a citizen could commit—refusing to fight in the Korean War for political reasons.
The Twin Cities branch of the SWP took on my defense with enthusiasm and with deep experience in “How To.” We got the help of Doug Hall, the main labor attorney in Minneapolis at the time, who we could work closely with; and who gave freely of his time and considerable skill and experience. We raised money, got extensive endorsements, printed a good pamphlet, etc.
For myself, the most exciting part was an extensive national tour I took speaking about the case and raising funds for my defense.
The tour was over 99 days and 25,000 miles long that took me to most of the States, most of the large cities and all of the branches of the SWP in the U.S. The cost of the tour was smallest that anyone had knowledge of. The Greyhound Bus Co. had a promotion travel ticket that year (they never repeated it) where you could get a national one-way ticket for $99.00 that would last for 99 days. We worked out a master-ticket for myself.
I went first to Seattle; then down the West Coast; then back to Denver; then to Texas and the South; then up the East Coast to New Jersey, New York, Boston, etc.; then to the Midwest; to Iowa, Missouri, Illinois, etc.; then back to Minneapolis. I spoke on TV, radio, had newspaper interviews, a full page in the Christian Science Monitor, etc.
I traveled light with one small duffle bag. I tried to sleep in a bed every two or three days. Comrades made me a guest in their homes and gave me cooked meals and a change of underwear. I lived on approximately $2.15 per day. I was able to raise thousands for the defense case and a large number of people told me they joined the party after my speeches. We won the case and I enjoyed the tour greatly.
My most interesting stop was in Mississippi. The bus got into town late—about two or three hours late—on a Saturday night. I was met at the bus station where they were waiting for me to speak. I was to speak then take the next bus out early the next morning.
I was taken to a large nightclub where I was informed that I would be “on” in about half-an-hour and that they would “pass the hat” and that what they collected would be for my defense. It was a large room with a low ceiling crammed with people drinking “set ups” at small tables. There were approximately 500 people. I went on “stage” just after a Black singer who got a mild applause. The club was all Black and I was the only white man outside of the police in that part of town.
In my speech I dealt in some depth with the organization of Blacks in prison that I became aware of while there. The audience was quite interested in this and quite knowledgeable. The room became very quiet and everyone listened closely. I got a good collection from the hat and made it back in time for the morning bus out.
In my opinion, a major prison revolt within the U.S. should be coming extremely quickly. Great working-class leaders and thinkers are developing now within the vast U.S. prisons. As we know, the prison population in the U.S. is the largest of any nation in history. And it’s ready to explode—in both federal and state prisons—and explode with a unity never seen before. Without extensive outside support, the prison revolt cannot be successful against the state and will be put down with much blood. But with support, it can be victorious.

A list of type specimens of fishes in the Zoological Museum, University of Amsterdam. 1. Order Mugiliformes
Beaufortia , Volume 7 - Issue 87 p. 211- 217
In the earlier days the cataloguing and labeling of type specimens was rather careless, mostly with no mention that they were types. What we now term ’holotypes’ were previously referred to merely as ’types’, and both ’syntypes’ and ’paratypes’ were called ’cotypes’. Several of the original types were obscured in the files by writing them off as synonyms of other (earlier) species names, changing not only the generic, but even the specific names. Exchange of type material was extremely informal and often no record was made of the transfers. I have started to compile a catalogue of the type material in the museum in 1952, shortly after I was put in charge of the fish collections. Demands for loan of paratypes urged me, however, to complete the cataloguing of some particular groups in advance of the intended catalogue, resulting in the present list of the order Mugiliformes.

Income insecurity and its impact on households is the economic scourge of the early 21st century for the UK, the Bank of England’s chief economist told an audience at the Oxford Martin School today (28 February).
Andy Haldane was delivering the keynote address at ‘Income insecurity in the 21st Century’, convened by the Department of Social Policy and Intervention, INET Oxford and the Oxford Martin School. He contrasted the UK’s current high employment rates with those of the late 1970s and early 1980s, when one in nine people was out of work, but said that employment in the earlier period generally meant people were on an “escalator” of relentlessly rising wages, whereas they were now on a “travelator”.
“There was also a pretty clear distinction then, and in the decades that followed, between those out of work and those in it,” he said. “If you were in work you tended not to be in a situation of poverty. But research now shows that of people living in poverty, more are employed than unemployed.”
Mr Haldane went on to say that the past ten years had been a “lost decade” for many in terms of income, with real pay no higher than at the dawning of the 2008 global financial crisis, the longest period of flatlining since the start of the Industrial Revolution. This had been mirrored, he said, by flatlining UK productivity.
Changes in the nature of work - such as the growth of zero-hours contracts - had been a good thing for some, he said, with more flexible hours enabling people to combine study or home life with employment, or take a gradual route to employment rather than facing a “cliff edge”. But insecure jobs were often ones where people were paid less, he said, and pointed to income insecurity being associated with worse prospects for home ownership and less mobility within the job market, meaning people were less likely to move to a better paid job. This in turn meant new ideas were less likely to spread through the economy, he said, and that insecure working arrangements and poor quality jobs were possibly linked to the UK's productivity problem. Ultimately those suffering income insecurity were also more likely to have to take up high cost credit arrangements to make ends meet, he added.
He cited a number of pieces of recent research showing that people would be prepared to take a wage cut of 20% in order to avoid unpredictable hours, and that adults in debt were three times more likely to experience mental health problems.
Mr Haldane’s speech was followed by presentations by Matteo Richiardi, Professor of Economics and Director of EUROMOD at the University of Essex, and Jane Millar, Professor of Social Policy at the University of Bath, and concluded with a panel discussion chaired by Brian Nolan, Professor of Social Policy at the University of Oxford and Lead Researcher on the Oxford Martin School Programme on Inequality and Prosperity. The panel included the speakers and Fran Bennett, Senior Research and Teaching Fellow at the Department of Social Policy and Intervention, University of Oxford.

Spider-Man: No Way Home spun its web to the top of the box office this weekend, bringing in $253 million dollars in the US alone. Update: The final totals actually came in at $260 million, putting it ahead of Avengers: Infinity War for the second biggest box office opening of all-time. Avengers: Endgame holds the record with a $357 million opening.
That makes Tom Holland’s latest Spidey adventure the No. 3 domestic box office opening of all time, just behind Avengers: Endgame ($357 million) and Avengers: Infinity War ($257.6 million), per The Hollywood Reporter.
The superhero three-quel, which saw Tom Holland’s Peter Parker accidentally open the multiverse and usher in Spider-Man villains from past franchises with some help from Benedict Cumberbatch’s Dr. Strange, also broke records internationally, where it also became the No. 3 leader at the global box office. Even without the lucrative Chinese market, the film brought in a global haul of $594.2 million.
“This weekend’s historic results, from all over the world and in the face of many challenges, reaffirm the unmatched cultural impact that exclusive theatrical films can have when they are made and marketed with vision and resolve,” said Tom Rothman, Sony Motion Picture Group’s chair and CEO, said in a statement.
Indeed, No Way Home is the first film released amid the COVID-19 pandemic to bring in moviegoers at pre-pandemic levels. Previously, the pandemic-era record was set by fellow Marvel entry Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, which earned $224.5 million upon its domestic release back in September.
Spider-Man: No Way Home also stars Zendaya, Jacob Batalon, Jon Favreau, Marisa Tomei, Willem Dafoe, Alfred Molina, Jamie Foxx, Benedict Wong, and more.

More About This Product


By Sharon V. Skolnik, Esq., Stempel Bennett Claman & Hochberg | Updated September 10, 2019
Governor Andrew Cuomo signed the Housing Stability and Tenant Protection Act of 20191 into law on June 14, 2019, which was amended on June 20, 2019, by a Chapter Amendment, to make certain technical corrections and was signed by the Governor on June 25, 20192 (collectively, the “HSTPA”). The HSTPA includes historic and extensive changes to rent laws in the State of New York. Some of the changes include new rules that impact rent stabilization, Affordable New York (421a), deregulation of units prior to HSTPA, co-op/condominium conversions, mobile and manufactured homes, changes that affect the ability of a landlord to raise rents to cover expenses or improvements, as well as other legal changes affecting the landlord/tenant relationship. The HSTPA was enacted to strengthen affordable housing and tenant protections and to make the rent regulations permanent.3
One of the changes instituted by the HSTPA affects the practice of landlords offering tenants preferential rents.4 A preferential rent is a rent that is lower than the legal regulated rent that can be charged by a landlord.5 Legal regulated rent is the maximum amount that a landlord can legally collect for a rental unit. For affordable housing rental developments and market-rate rental developments with affordable housing rental units constructed pursuant to Affordable New York (421a), the legal regulated rents for the affordable housing units are set by a state or local governmental agency6 based on unit size and a percentage of area median income.7 Area median income for all cities in the United States is defined, annually, by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”).8 For units receiving federal subsidies under project based housing assistance payment contracts (“HAP Contracts”), the legal regulated rents are set by a state or local governmental agency based on a percentage of fair market rents (“FMRs”). FMRs are calculated and estimated by HUD, annually, for metropolitan areas defined by the Office of Management and Budget.9 Project-based Section 8 vouchers (“PBVs”) are administered by a state or local housing agency, which has the ability to allocate PBVs to a specifically designated unit in a project if the owner agrees to construct affordable rental units, rehabilitate affordable rental units or if the owner agrees to set aside a portion of the units as affordable rental units in an existing development and enters into a HAP Contract for those affordable rental units.10 HUD does not provide additional funding for PBVs.11 Both PBVs and tenant based Section 8 vouchers are funded from the same federal budget appropriation and federal regulations limit the amount of project based housing assistance subsidies to 20 percent of the amount of the Section 8 voucher program budget allocated to the state or local housing authority.12 Consequently, the allocation of PBVs to affordable housing rental projects by a state or local housing authority is very limited.
Prior to the enactment of HSTPA, landlords had the option to charge a tenant a preferential rent. Under the prior law and rules, a landlord could decide to terminate the preferential rent and charge the higher legal regulated rent when the tenant renewed the lease or when the tenant permanently vacated the unit, provided that the original written lease (the lease in which the preferential rent was first charged and all subsequent renewal leases thereafter) indicated the amount of the legal regulated rent and contained a clause stating how long the preferential rent would continue (i.e. for the term of the lease or the entire term of the tenancy).13 If the original lease contained this language, then the landlord had the option to raise the rent to the legal regulated rent at either: (i) the end of the lease term in a renewal lease; or (ii) upon the permanent vacancy of the unit by the tenant. The timing of the option to terminate the preferential rent depended on the preferential lease language included in the original lease.
The HSTPA changed the circumstances under which a landlord can elect to increase a preferential rent to a legal regulated rent on lease renewal by limiting that right to projects that receive federal project based rental assistance subsidies.14
Under the HSTPA the right of a landlord to increase the preferential rent to the legal regulated rent at lease renewal is restricted to units in buildings with rents set pursuant to:
“a regulatory agreement with a local government agency and which building[s] receive federal project based rental assistance administered by the United States department of housing and urban development or a state or local section eight administering agency, where the rent set by the federal, state or local governmental agency is less than the legal regulated rent for the housing accommodation.”15
After the enactment of HSTPA, landlords who offer a preferential rent must sacrifice the option to collect the legally regulated rent until vacancy, unless the unit is in a building: (i) that is subject to a regulatory agreement (i.e. an affordable unit); (ii) that has at least one unit in the building receiving federal project based rental assistance subsidies; and (iii) where the initial rent for the unit set forth in the regulatory agreement is less than the legal regulated rent for the unit.16
The likely result of this statutory change is that most of the owners of affordable rental units will no longer offer preferential rents unless the project receives federal project based rental assistance subsidies, since for projects without an allocation of PBVs, a preferential rent offered to a tenant can no longer be terminated and increased to the legal regulated rent upon lease renewal. Effectively, for buildings without PBVs, if a landlord enters into a lease with a lower preferential rent, the preferential rent will become the de facto legal regulated rent, with future rent increases limited solely to the applicable Rent Guidelines Board increases and any other increases authorized by law until vacancy.17
These statutory changes could have far-reaching impacts on one hundred percent (100%) affordable housing rental projects that do not receive federal project based rental assistance subsidies. Like all subsidies, federal project based rental assistance subsidies are limited. Due to their scarcity, the vast majority of affordable housing rental projects will not receive this subsidy. As a result of the new preferential rent regulations, owners of affordable rental units without PBVs are deprived of the use of an important marketing and stabilization tool. The ability to offer preferential rents enables owners to offer a reduced rent in order to quickly rent-up and stabilize a building where market conditions in a neighborhood make it difficult to locate qualified tenants at the full legal regulated rent. Without this tool, the rent-up process for buildings in those areas will take longer. This could negatively impact affordable housing rental projects by increasing financing and other costs. If a landlord opts to offer a preferential rent to accelerate the rent-up process, the inability of the owner to collect the full legal regulated rents until vacancy will likely upend future cash flow projections relied upon by the landlords and their lenders. Additionally, reduced future rental income could prevent the adequate funding of future reserves for these types of projects, which would have a direct impact on the future maintenance and operation of the building. Any of these impacts would make it even more difficult for a one hundred percent (100%) affordable housing rental project to be self-sustaining going forward. These potentially destabilizing effects appear to be an unintended consequence of the HSTPA.
On a brighter note, the Chapter Amendment added a provision that clarified the right of landlords to elect to increase a preferential rent to the legal regulated rent upon vacancy.18 This will allow an owner of an affordable housing rental building without an allocation of PBVs who entered into leases with a preferential rent both prior to and on or after June 14, 2019 to elect to charge the previously established legal regulated rent (as adjusted by the applicable Rent Guidelines Board rent increases and other increases authorized by law) upon the vacancy of such a unit.

Football is the most popular sport in Romania. Unfortunately, the Romanian national football team has failed to qualify for any international championship in the last 24 years. But in 2022, the country made its way to the pitch of the world’s biggest soccer tournament—with the help of a candy bar.
ROM, the traditional chocolate bar with the Romanian flag on it (and muse for multiple Cannes Lions Grand Prix), debuted its latest innovative national pride effort during this year’s tournament by celebrating Romania’s “National Team of Referees.”
Though the country didn’t have players who made it to the competition, a number of its pros were selected for the side lines as referees.
“Our National Team may have blown their chances. But there are still Romanians on the field who can blow it even more—the whistle, I mean,” the campaign film says.
The initiative was designed to promote the brand’s new protein bar. It kicked off on Dec. 1, Romania National Day, and has encouraged people to do for the referees exactly what people usually do for players: wear their t-shirts, sing songs for them, comment their activity during the games.
The digitally driven campaign, created out of McCann Worldgroup Romania, consisted of punchy social media content, an AR Filter in Instagram replicating real life referee cards, supporter KITs that were awarded to the most loyal followers of the campaign in dedicated contests, a PR blitz targeting key local influencers and special media projects with the top sports publications in the country. The campaign ran for the duration of the tournament.
“We wanted to send a simple message: With the new ROM bar, we give Romanians the energy to get where they always wanted to get,” said Gabi Munteanu marketing director of ROM parent company Kandia Dulce. “Even if, at times, it may seem impossible, we’ll find a way. We proved it by showing that even if we didn’t qualify with the team of players, we got to the world championships in Qatar with our National Team of Referees.”
“ROM is the traditional chocolate bar that always finds innovative ways to activate the Romanian national pride,” added Catalin Dobre, CCO and co-CEO McCann Worldgroup Romania. “It always picks a moonshot and engages Romanians in an initiative to reach it. This time it found a way to activate the joy of football for the National Day. Even if the players didn’t qualify, we encouraged everybody to cheer for the other Romanians on the field in Qatar—the referees. Why not? They are important, they are under pressure, and they deserve to be in the spotlight. They are like ROM, the underdogs.”
ROM and McCann Worldgroup previously earned fame with the “American ROM” campaign that replaced the candy bar’s packaging, which is adorned with the Romanian flag, with that of the United States. The effort earned two Grand Prix at the Cannes Lions, in Direct and Promo & Activation.view more - Creative

As your State Senator, I have spent the last four years delivering results for our district and community. With your support I will continue to champion your priorities—job creation, education, transportation infrastructure, and affordable healthcare and housing. I am focused on our needs and put families before politics. I’m working to build a better future for our children and grandchildren.
A critical decision before the 2017 Legislature will be to amply fund basic K-12 education (McLeary court case). We must fulfill our constitutional duty. Fighting for quality education, affordable college tuition and workforce development partnerships at local colleges has always been a priority of mine.
While contentious politics got in the way, I still believe the I-5 bridge replacement is the single most important need our community faces. I will not give up until together, we can find a path forward for replacement of the antiquated Interstate.
I championed a bill to cut through red tape to allow citizens to seek affordable housing options and stay in their homes. I sponsored legislation to protect renters from unfair short-notice evictions that can have devastating impacts on children and families.
It was important to put forward legislation to address needs of Medicaid patients to obtain care closer to home and correct an inequity for children who are victims of abuse. I passed a bill to focus on the rising out of pocket prescription drug costs and determining possible solutions.

Glutathione Skin-Lightening Treatment
Want to lighten your skin tone? Want a glowing, even skin tone?
Do you suffer from hyper-pigmented skin? Does your skin look dull and tired? If so, our IV Glutathione treatment can improve your skin tone!
You CAN with the Glutathione Skin Lightening Treatment!
Our Intravenous Glutathione Skin Lightening Treatment can brighten and lighten your skin. Glutathione is administered via IV and is able to deposit evenly throughout the body. Glutathione will swop up the oxidative damaged cells (which cause skin to darken) and can lighten your skin naturally, safely, evenly and in a healthy manner.
What is Glutathione?
Glutathione is a very powerful anti-oxidant. It rids the body of free radicals, toxins and oxidants. Aside from the possible skin lightening capabilities of glutathione, glutathione also assists with detoxification pathways of the liver, and prevents oxidative damage. Oxidative damage is attributed to diseases such as:
Lou Gerhig’s Disease (ALS),
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Therefore, not only can you enhance the luminosity of your skin, you are also preventing the preceding diseases and increasing the longevity of your cells!
How many treatments/sessions will I need?
One round of treatment is 10 IV’s that will be performed twice a week for 5 weeks. Typically one round of treatment (10 IV’s) is recommended.
How long will the results last?
Maintenance is required to maintain the possible brighter and more even skin tone. Frequency will depend on your ability to maintain anti-oxidant levels. The following factors will impede your results as they will increase oxidative stress:
How do I prepare for my treatment?
As this is a medical procedure, make sure you are well hydrated and have consumed a full meal before starting treatment.
What happens during treatment?
The doctor or medical assistant will assess your vitals (Blood pressure, pulse rate, oxygen saturation, temperature and urinalysis) to make sure treatment is viable. The doctor will then start the IV treatment. During treatment you can relax in our lazy boy chairs and watch movies or TV shows, read a book or take a nap! You will be monitored during treatment. The treatment will take anywhere from 45min – 1.5 hours, depending on your veins. At the end of treatment vitals are reassessed.
Are there any side effects to the Intravenous Treatment?
Side effects that may occur with an Intravenous Treatment are as follows:
Pain and invasiveness of injection
